6:03 am
gutted for my colleagues and all the passengers that we carried. there are holidays that haven't even started yet. this is our savings pot. hundreds of pounds of thomas cook vouchers saved for a trip to disneyland are now worthless. to tell him that it wouldn't be happening, it was awful, it was horrible. it was not something i ever wa nted horrible. it was not something i ever wanted to do. i went —— i never wa nt to ever wanted to do. i went —— i never want to disappoint my children. ever wanted to do. i went —— i never want to disappoint my childrenlj would want to disappoint my children.” would like to say sorry to all of out would like to say sorry to all of our customers. they have heard an a postle our customers. they have heard an apostle — make an apology but not much explanation. did management try ha rd much explanation. did management try hard enough? they pay themselves too much? government house the official receiver to investigate as a priority. because this is all that is left after 180 years. the proud heritage of a package holiday pioneer reduced to a leaflet about
6:04 am
liquidation. now relied on emergency rescue flights to bring its people home. with them come more questions about how it all went so badly wrong. dan johnson, bbc about how it all went so badly wrong. danjohnson, bbc news. the uk's highest court will deliver an historic ruling this morning on boris johnson's decision to suspend parliament. if the prime minister has been accused of an unlawful abuse of power and if the judgement goes against him, mps could be recalled immediately. mrjohnson will be thousands of miles away when the court delivers its verdict. he's at the un climate summit in new york. here's our legal correspondent clive coleman. it has arrived at speed — judgement day. 11 justices at the supreme court will rule on whether borisjohnson acted unlawfully in advising the queen to prorogue or suspend parliament for five weeks. is he anxious? i'm going to wait and see what thejudgement is, and — but i want to stress that this is a government that fully respects
6:05 am
the law and fully respects the judiciary. the supreme court will resolve two dramatically contradictory rulings. scotland's highest civil court ruled the prime minister's advice to the queen to prorogue was motivated by the improper purpose of stymieing and frustrating parliament during critical weeks before brexit. but the high court in london, in a case brought by the businesswoman gina miller, ruled that proroguing was a political matter and there were no legal standards against which a court could judge it. the supreme court will first have to decide whether prorogation is a matter for the courts. if it is, the court will go on to rule definitively whether borisjohnson‘s advice to the queen was unlawful, either because of his improper motivation, or perhaps more likely, because the effect was that legislation was lost and parliamentary scrutiny improperly denied. the wording of any declaration of unlawfulness will likely
6:06 am
determine how parliament is reconvened, whether by government recall or at the invitation of the speakers of both houses. 0ur political correspondent iain watson is at labour's party conference in brighton. we'll speak about that in a moment. but first, tell us what will happen at the supreme court today. this could be a very significant day. it could be a huge day entirely on what the supreme courtjudges say. some of the most seniorjudges, effectively this is a decision they have to take. is this a matter for them or a matterfor parliament? parliament has been suspended by borisjohnson, should parliament has been suspended by boris johnson, should they effectively stick their noses into this process or leave it to the politicians? if they do decide that they can actually adjudicate on this, and it is for borisjohnson, the danger that they say what the scottish courts have already said,
6:07 am
his motives for suspending parliament effectively are suspicious. he said it was doing it to introduce new legislation. everyone else seems to suspect he was doing it to stymie debates on brexit. in effect, if he has misled parliament, that is serious enough. but he needs the queen's permission to suspend parliament. the idea the prime minister could mislead the queen is almost unpleasant —— almost unprecedented. he is in a difficult position. he was asked if he would resign under those circumstances and he said he would wait forjudgement. that comes later this morning. talk about the labour party conference, because there was a key vote there as well about brexit. yes, controversy all around. not sure it com petes controversy all around. not sure it competes with the high court, but there we are. yesterday people were pushing for the grassroots of the party to have a more remains dance during the general election. they we re during the general election. they were defeated on that, but on a show of hands, some people are
6:08 am
questioning whether it should have been done in that way. some people today might be trying to push for that to be rerun. but what they want to do is get its policy agenda, its new deal of 37 windfarms and electric cars, but there is likely to bea electric cars, but there is likely to be a dispute over whether it can commit to net a zero carbon emissions by 2030 or whether they have a bit more time and take any specific target out of the discussions today. back with you a little bit later. human rights groups in egypt say more than 500 people have been arrested after protests against alleged government corruption in the country. demonstrations were reported in the capital cairo and several other cities over the weekend. the protests were the first significant incidents of unrest since president el—sisi banned demonstrations five years ago. more people are vaping than ever before according to new research. the charity action on smoking and health says the number of adults using e—cigarettes has reached 3.6 million. the charity says e—cigarettes
6:09 am
are the most popular tool to help people quit smoking. skies over an indonesian province turned blood red over the weekend, owing to the widespread forest fires which have swept across huge parts of the country. these extraordinary pictures from the jambi province look like they were taken on the surface of mars. every year, fires in indonesia create a smoky haze that can end up blanketing the entire south—east asian region. experts say the unusual sky was caused by a phenomenon known as "rayleigh scattering." the duke and duchess of sussex are on the second day of their royal tour of south africa. harry and meghan have already visited a township in cape town where they met campaigners fighting against high rates of violence against women and children. it's their first official overseas trip with li—month—old son archie. those are the main stories. time now for the weather. and this is what is
6:10 am
coming upa for the weather. and this is what is coming up a little later as well. the supreme court will rule later this morning whether the prime minister's advice to the queen to suspend parliament was unlawful. borisjohnson, who was accused of an unlawful abuse of power, will be thousands of miles away in new york when the supreme court delivers its verdict. it could lead to mps returning to westminster. joining us now is constitutional law expert joelle grogan, who is outside the supreme court for us. it looks like it is rather rainy. good morning to you. this is an extraordinary day by any scale of looking back at politics and judiciary. first of all, the basic question they are answering, if i understand everything correctly is they answer the question as to whether there is a legal question to be answered. exactly, exactly, and it really is a suitably stormy day
6:11 am
outside the supreme court right now. by outside the supreme court right now. by the first question the supreme court will have to ask and answer this morning is whether or not this is actually a question of law. it does concern what is called a prerogative power, a power of the executive. but whether or not there are limits to that power and whether 01’ are limits to that power and whether or not those limits should be decided by the court... that is what the first question we find out will be this morning of the judgement. take us through this, and i know this is uncharted territory in a way, but how this might go. if they determine that is a legal decision to be made, what then? if there is a legal decision, then we almost have to step two of the judgement which will be whether or not there are any legal orjudicial will be whether or not there are any legal or judicial standards will be whether or not there are any legal orjudicial standards against which we can judge that advice. what we have heard from other claimants teams are there are fundamental standards, there is fundamental principles we should be looking at. these are parliamentary sovereignty 01’ these are parliamentary sovereignty or the idea that parliament should be checking with the executive,
6:12 am
checking what government are doing, but also the rule of law, the idea that no man and no prime minister is above the law. as soon as the judges decide there are these fundamental standards that we can judge ‘s advice against, they will then have to ta ke advice against, they will then have to take step three almost, which is whether or not borisjohnson's advice to the queen to pro— road parliament has had such a terrible effect on either the sovereignty of parliament, pa rliament‘s ability effect on either the sovereignty of parliament, parliament's ability to scrutinise law and what the executive doing all the rule of law that it will be unlawful —— prorogue. how explicit might that advice, thejudgement prorogue. how explicit might that advice, the judgement be? prorogue. how explicit might that advice, thejudgement be? would it be that they literally say parliament has to be reconvened, could they explicitly say that the prime minister has led the queen? how direct theirjudgement be? the
6:13 am
one thing that we can say with absolute certainty in a morning that is very uncertain apart from the weather is that all the reasoning that will come will be very, very careful. we will see a lot of detail coming from thejudges careful. we will see a lot of detail coming from the judges on exactly how it is or is not lawful and how the power can or cannot be exercised. if the advice is found to be unlawful, there is a very difficult question before the courts then as to what is next. they could issue what is called a declaration of unlawfulness and almost leave to either the executive or to parliament, the speaker of the house to then take the next steps and remedy the unlawfulness, but the one thing that we can say with certainty is we will have a lot of in that judgement. just on the sheer logistics of the moment of self, how is the determination given? what will we see? so, at 1030, the
6:14 am
judgement will be read down. 0ne will we see? so, at 1030, the judgement will be read down. one of the important questions we will find out then is whether or not there is going to be any dissenting judgements, leadingjudgement, going to be any dissenting judgements, leading judgement, the majority who gained... i don't want to say the most votes but the majority will be read first and we may or may not hear descent where somejudges may disagree may or may not hear descent where some judges may disagree with what the majority have decided. thank you and the weather is awful for you this morning. i hope it improves. thank you for bearing with us. 10:30am is the beginning of that sequence but it could be extended because they are going to give their reasons and yes, we will watch with interest. full coverage of course on the news channel. we had a sneaky preview of the weather, horrible stop by curra will have the proper details. —— but carol will have the proper details. let's take a look at today's papers.
6:15 am
the daily mail leads on reports about that thomas cook bosses pocketed millions of pounds in bonuses in the years leading up to the company's collapse. the paper says government ministers have opened an investigation into how the firm went bust under £1.6 billion of debt. the guardian carries a picture of fed—up thomas cook passengers in palma airport waiting to be flown home, but the paper leads onjeremy corbyn stopping an attempt by party activists to force labour to adopt a remain position on brexit before a general election. if there is one. the daily telegraph also goes with the labour conference's brexit policy vote. it quotes a shadow cabinet source who describes the result as a "total stitch—up". but a senior ally of mr corbyn said those crying foul needed to "get over themselves and accept they lost", the paper says. the daily mirror reports on thomas cook bosses' alleged bonuses. it also features photos from the first leg of the duke and duchess of sussex's south africa tour.
6:16 am
also in many of the papers this morning is swedish climate activist greta thunberg who gave a passionate speech at the un yesterday. let's take a look. you have stolen my dreams in my childhood with your empty words, yet i'm one of the lucky ones! people are suffering, people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing, we are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth. how dare you! so, those were the scenes at the un yesterday, quite extraordinary, weren't they? that's why we have run them. you don't really see that, often. this is no ordinary crowd, 16 world leaders being lectured does
6:17 am
make 60. you may have seen that image of greta thunberg and donald trump, whether there is frosty nest, so we say, between the two of them. i rightly raising the profile of this case, of climate change, and some amazing pictures in the papers of her protests, her first one, and where she is now. i also want to touch on that repatriation effort from thomas cook, the seven—day shares in authority does make the civil aviation authority has some figures. they suggest 111,700 people we re figures. they suggest 111,700 people were brought back yesterday alone, thatis were brought back yesterday alone, that is 90% of all the people who we re that is 90% of all the people who were due back yesterday on a thomas cook flight, got back yesterday. so the paper quite rightly suggesting this is a pretty smooth plan. they say honed during the collapse of
6:18 am
monarch in 2017, the secret evacuation plan flew into action. we knew before the even official demise of the airline was announced yesterday morning the planes were already in the air getting to where they needed to be to get people back. on the other side, he was to blame for the demise? a lot of the papers, as you've touched on, maybe bosses took too much money out of the business but it lays it pretty clearly. that, brexit, bad management and the banks —— debts. nearly 9000 staff in the uk are affected. this is a surprising story aboutjonny affected. this is a surprising story about jonny bairstow who has affected. this is a surprising story aboutjonny bairstow who has been axed from the tour of new zealand, he won't be playing the two tests in novemberand he won't be playing the two tests in november and the shock of this is that the two selectors are driving to go explain why it is happening. he will be devastated. also, this is
6:19 am
juergen krupp, liverpool manager, who won awards last night at the ether first football awards —— fifa. juergen cropp gave an impassioned speech —— juergen klopp. he says he isjoined common speech —— juergen klopp. he says he is joined common goal, speech —— juergen klopp. he says he isjoined common goal, it is an organisation where large sports figures donate 1% of their earnings to charities, so that was really good. really quickly, i have to touch on the back page of the mirror. totally last, the crisis of trafford at the moment, other clubs seems to be in something of a crisis. lots of people weighing in.
6:20 am
you know it's bad when the photographers were there just to ta ke photographers were there just to take pictures of the boss arriving in his car. yeah. and talking about the un, this is an interesting one. france have — i took this from ben, france have — i took this from ben, france has prohibited luxury brands from destroying unsold goods. a p pa re ntly from destroying unsold goods. apparently 800 million euros of stock was unsold, and only a0 million euros were donated, staff here were ordered to throw away dozens here were ordered to throw away d oze ns of here were ordered to throw away dozens of pairs of trainers. we have heard stories like this before, haven't we? it's morally wrong, isn't it? there are absolutely morally wrong. but retailers say if all of this stuff flood the market cheaply, it damages their full price sales, so they destroyed. in some
6:21 am
cases, they incinerate it. what a waste! so france is the first country to ban it. it is 6:20am. don't you say good morning to carol. good morning, everyone! we have a fairly cloudy and wet day for many parts of the uk ahead. some heavy rain especially across england and, and thunder embedded in that, and it is going to feel cooler. the best of the sunshine today will be across north—west scotland and also northern ireland. you can see in the redeye picture from last night how the rain moved steadily east, getting into the south—east. and we've got our first front going through, taking out rain with it, and then you can see with the squeezing isobars in the south, it is going to be blustery in the south—west then south—east. a round band of rain, as it pushes from the
6:22 am
rest towards the east, it will be sorry as well. —— west to east. quite a bit of cloud with some rain coming from northern england heading into south—east scotland. that could be thundery. if you showers in northern ireland, but mostly dry, we will see some brighter conditions across england and, we've got that next system coming from the west which will once again introduce some thicker cloud, some rain and stronger winds in and across south—west england under. temperatures between 12 and 19 degrees. through this evening and overnight we will still have this rain across parts of scotland and northern england, we also have the rain scooting along southern areas, blustery areas around here. some mist and fog forming across northern ireland, and some of that could be dense. this morning it is not a particularly cool start to the day with most places in double figures.
6:23 am
as we head onto tomorrow, we get rid of our first band of as we head onto tomorrow, we get rid of ourfirst band of rain as we head onto tomorrow, we get rid of our first band of rain from the south—east, things brighten up but there will be some showers. some of those hours can also be heavy in thundery, we hang onto quite a bit of cloud across scotland with again some showers here as well. and then later on in the day this band of cloud and rain will come in from the west, across northern ireland, usurping that sunshine we were going to have much to the day. temperatures tomorrow 13— 20 degrees. click —— quick look at what's happening on thursday, rain moving west— east with some showers and accompanied with blustery winds. in between there will be some brighter and sunnier skies with temperatures up to 19. that is some good news at the end of the forecast. carol, thank you very much. we will see you later. after bursting on to the scene in her mid 20s with a number one single, singer—songwriter anne—marie knows that music has the power
6:24 am
to change people's lives. so when she was given the chance to join a music therapy session for people with disabilities, she was eager tojoin in. it's part of the build up to the bbc‘s music day later this week, and breakfast‘s tim muffett went along too. i'm bipolar, and i have post—traumatic stress disorder, but it all disappears here. muzic‘s a soundtrack to my life, and i'm so very, very grateful that i was introduced to this place. this place the south london weekly music therapy session, run by music charity waldorf robbins. the experience of making music, we are
6:25 am
trying to make that experience accessible to the widest number of people. # mama mia... here i go again... people here are able to show talents and express parts of themselves but often and express parts of themselves but ofte n eve n and express parts of themselves but often even those nearest and dearest to them, their carers and families, didn't know. and today, there is a special guest. and anne-marie is here! anne-marie's songs have been streamed more than 5 billion times. you get kind of wrapped up in the business side of it and you always think about what is next, what's next, what's next, and you forget about the duty of what music does the people. it's really about why i started music in the first place. when i was younger, i needed music,
6:26 am
because i was in school and i didn't really like school i had music to come home too and ijust felt like you don't really realise the impact it has on people, so it's quite emotional. it's great when everyone can come together, and i love singing with the microphone. it's very empowering. there are people whose role in life is altered by the fa ct whose role in life is altered by the fact that they have experienced themselves in this musical situation. it's very nice, yeah, the highlight my week. the only ways you can express herself as do music. the power of music in its purest form. tim moffat, bbc news. —— muffett.

6:30 am
tricky travelling conditions do the rush hour. this band of rain putting its way eastwards, there will be some strong, gusty winds on every time too, but it will brighten up later in the afternoon. since because of sunshine but also the chance of some more heavy, but re— showers developing perhaps even a bit of lightning. it won't kill particularly chilly, highs of 19 or 20 celsius, the winds will ease down for a time 20 celsius, the winds will ease down fora time and 20 celsius, the winds will ease down for a time and pick up again overnight tonight. we've got a another weather front coming through and that is going to give us a more rain as we head to the early hours and it is tomorrow morning. but it fairly milder started the day, you may notice the temperatures week, plenty more rain in the forecast as you can see, and it turns rather windy again on friday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye at the usual address. for now. this is breakfast with louise and charlie. let's get you up—to—date with the latest news.
6:31 am
thousands more thomas cook passengers will be brought back home today in the state—funded rescue effort known as 0peration matterhorn. in the last half hour, the civil aviation authority has issued this update to breakfast on its repatriation mission. let's ta ke let's take you through some of the statistics. so far, 1a,700 passengers have been flown back to uk airports. and another 16,500 are expected to arrive today. more than 1,000 flights are planned over the next 13 days to bring home the remaining 135,000 tourists. dame deirdre hutton is the chair of the civil aviation authority, which is organising the operation. shejoins us now from central london. good morning to you. thank you very much indeed forjoining us. good morning. this is a huge operation. when you think you will get everybody home? it is a two week operation. that is mainly because
6:32 am
people go on holiday for two weeks so we want everybody to continue to enjoy their holidays and we will bring them back on the day they were going to come back anyway, so if your holiday ended next saturday, thatis your holiday ended next saturday, that is when we will bring you back. but i am really pleased that the first day went well. we got back 95% of those we were intending. there we re of those we were intending. there were some operational difficulties and we will continue to have that. that is life in the aviation industry, so again, there will be some bumps in the road, and if people can bear with us. but we have got off to a reasonable start, which is very good. how many people are still abroad who should have been home? there is nobody abroad who should have been home. as i say, we are bringing people back when their holiday ends. we have another hundred and 35,000 people to bring, but that is because the holiday well and next saturday or a week on wednesday, so they will come back when they were due to come back anyway. we have done 8% so far, we have 13 days so it is still a big operation. so many different stories today. we are speaking to somebody late in the programme, he has
6:33 am
already paid for his hotel, but he has been charged by the hotel again. what is going on? he should... there is some confusion in hotels, it has a lwa ys is some confusion in hotels, it has always been one of the more difficult areas. if he is having difficulty, he should ring the call centre. every hotel that has a protected passenger in it has had a letter from us guaranteeing the payment to the hotel. but if someone is having the goodies, ring our call centre and they will give them help. alternatively go to the website. could you also explain, some people say they have not been able to get through to the call centre. have you got enough staff? it is a pretty big call centre. i think, got enough staff? it is a pretty big call centre. ithink, and it is fully set up today and there are more staff coming in today, so please keep trying. go to the website. i should say also, we now have, which we weren't able to get
6:34 am
from thomas cook, we do now have contact details for everyone, so where we are trying to get people onto planes, we are now able to have direct links to passengers, which is really very helpful. could you for example, and there won't be many people in this position, can you get back earlier? look, if there is a real distress case, somebody has ran out of their heart medicine or ill or whatever, we will certainly do our best, yes. there is various figures about how much this is costing. can you give us your figures? look, monarch was half the size of this operation and that cost the repair —— the repatriation cost cost 50 million. i would guess this would be in the million — and a quarter of 150 million for the ones it is over, the figures will be com pletely it is over, the figures will be completely washed through and will be made public, but i expect something in the order of 100 million. the passengers are 60% projected, so 60% of that will come
6:35 am
from, through the fund that build up from, through the fund that build up from the atoll system. so the taxpayer will end up by paying i guess about a0% of it. taxpayer will end up by paying i guess about 4096 of it. there are so many questions about why this went wrong, also questions today about perhaps how much directors were being paid. will you be part of the investigation into what happened? look, i am sure we will, but whoever ru ns look, i am sure we will, but whoever runs that investigation won't be us, it will be government and i'm sure they will ask us and will absolutely co—operate with them. i think the real robin for thomas cook, the problems have been going on for some while. they had 1.7 billion debt, they were struggling with that, it isa they were struggling with that, it is a very competitive market, new low—cost entrance, and they were operating frankly on a rather old—fashioned model. one commentator said they were operating on brochures when the world has moved on to barcodes. thank you for your time ata on to barcodes. thank you for your time at a very busy time for you as
6:36 am
well. let's take you through the rest of the day's news now. the highest court in the uk will give an historic ruling this morning on whether borisjohnson misled the queen when he asked for parliament to be suspended. the prime minister, who's been accused of an unlawful "abuse of power," will be thousands of miles away when the judgement is delivered at the climate summit in new york. if it goes against him, parliament may be reconvened immediately forcing him to reconsider his strategy on delivering brexit. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, will address the party's annual conference in brighton todayjust days after a failed attempt to remove his post. he'll warn that the party is handing a "gift to the tories" by turning in on itself. yesterday, amid chaotic scenes, party members endorsed jeremy corbyn's policy to stay neutral on brexit while negotiating a new deal with the eu if it wins a general election. and rights groups say more than 150 people have been arrested over

italy where they decided who the best footballers in the world right now. those who are the winners. recognise them ? leanne now. those who are the winners. recognise them? leanne massey and megan rapinoe. —— lionel messi. we have had the voting through, because you vote for each other, and lionel messi voted for christiana rinaldo on the shortlist but didn't turn up, and van dijk, who didn't, he lost out to lionel messi, he voted for lionel messi, and his two teammates. you can see their votes and everything. rinaldo did not vote for lionel messi. that is the interesting thing. that rivalry. did they vote for each other? no, they are separate. 0ne they vote for each other? no, they are separate. one is a man and one isa are separate. one is a man and one is a woman. the men are not allowed to... the men vote for men and women vote for women. the women can't vote for men and the men can't vote for women? i have never looked in detail. shall i tell you? that is
6:39 am
lionel messi, and her speech was incredible last night. i was watching idlib. she has called the greater equality after being named the best women's player. she took the best women's player. she took the rising of lucy bronze who had a great world cup. rapinoe urged professional players to use their platform to tackle racism, homophobia and sexism. listen to this. if everybody was as outraged about homophobia as lgbtq players, if everybody was outraged about equal pay or the lack thereof or the lack of investment in the women's game other than just or the lack of investment in the women's game other thanjust women, that would be the most inspiring thing to me. i feel that that is my ask of everybody. we have such an incredible opportunity being professional football players. you saw him just then. liverpool'sjurgen klopp was named best men's coach ahead of manchester city's pep guardiola and tottenham's mauricio pochettino. a good night for english teams. liverpool's allison becker won

best men's goalkeeper. wales face australia next in a potential pool d decider after beating georgia a3—1a at the rugby world cup. wales ran in six tries in their bonus point winning victory in toyota city. george north with the last welsh try. they play the wallabies in tokyo on sunday. we have had some really tight games over the years against australia, so we have to go into the game with a lot of confidence, and we know as a team that we tend to get better as tournaments go on and we build on confidence, so pleasing with a start today, but there is a lot of room for us to improve for next week and a few things to tidy up on. scotland's campaign has suffered another blow with scrum half ali price ruled out of the tournament with a foot injury. he's the second player to be sent home injured after flanker hamish watson. johnnie bairstow has been dropped from the england test squad for the tour of new zealand.
6:41 am
bairstow‘s poor form with the bat had led to speculation that he might miss out. it's likely jos buttler will keep wicket in his place. bairstow has been included in the t20 squad for the series starting on 1st november. i thinkjohnny bairstow has the potential to be a top, top test match player. he is already one of the best white ball players in the world. seven years ago he was picked to play test match could have a batsmen for england. seven years on i believe he can have a terrific spell back in the side once he has had a bit of a reset. he has had a very busy summer. it is an opportunity for him to step back for a moment, reset, work on some things and come back better. now, emily muskett has become britain's first medallist at a world weightlifting championship in 25 years with the clean—and—jerk bronze in thailand. muskett said it was amazing considering she'd been working three jobs and training when she could. look at this. she benefitted from uk sport's ‘aspiration fund',
6:42 am
set up to help athletes in some unfunded sports qualify for tokyo 2020. she is incredible. my knees would click at that point. you will love this next story. here are two examples from cycling's road world championships of why you should never give up when all seems lost. take a look — antonio tiberi made a disastrous start in the men's junior time trial in yorkshire and the italian was forced to change bikes. look at this! after that, he then got stuck behind a car, but kept on going, and went on to record the fastest time and win the gold medal. watch this. russia's aigul gareeva won the junior women's time trial. she must have been going pretty fast. look! she got lost as well. gareeva took a wrong turn and went off course, but still managed to finish first. isn't that incredible? there's live coverage of the women's individual time trial on bbc2 at 2:30 this afternoon. never give up. exciting stuff. never
6:43 am
give up! never give up. exciting stuff. never give up i think is a theme for our next story. tracey neville is part of one of the most famous sporting families in this country, and she led england's netball team to commonwealth gold in australia last year. she stepped down as head coach this summer to start a family at the age of a2. it surprised everybody. she announced she would not do thatjob anymore. she was really open about why, because she said she wanted to start a family. not long after the committee announced she is pregnant. i've been talking to her about it. my my goodness, we have been waiting quite a while for this chat, haven't we? and there is a really important reason that we waited to talk to you, because you made that fantastic announcement recently that you are pregnant. congratulations. thank you very much. to actually leave them
6:44 am
was one of the most difficult decisions in my life, but one of my good friend sat down with me one day and just said, good friend sat down with me one day andjust said, in good friend sat down with me one day and just said, in ten years you will never say, i am glad i went on that test series on tour, and glad i didn't have opportunity to have a child. i think that hit home to me and really scared me, and although i was up to the challenge to do both, i recognise that it was becoming more and more impossible. as women, you are encouraged to have a family, have the career. did you feel you got to a certain point and you had to be realistic about it? for me, i knew i had the support system. if i actually had physically had the baby, but the hardest bit for me was trying to get pregnant. i think the negativity that comes around... all the women having children. we know that i am a2 years old, so the risks are high. it creates a realfearful environment. they go down the route
6:45 am
of well, we are preparing you for the file, i don't prepare my team for the file, i prepare them for the win. if they are not successful, we look at other avenues other steps we can put in place. just take me back to the commonwealth games and where you were with the roses, because obviously at that point, it wasn't public that you are pregnant. u nfortu nately, public that you are pregnant. unfortunately, them under half day the gold medal on the sunday, i had a miscarriage. you think to yourself, this can't be right. you see other ladies who have been through traumatic situations take time off work and i just wasn't willing to do that. this was my family, this was my commitment and i didn't want to miss the journey the roses were on, i didn't want to miss being with the girls, and in the back of my mind i think i had to
6:46 am
ta ke back of my mind i think i had to take it that commitment because in a way, and it is awful to say, the roses was my priority. going into this summer, how far back did you think, iam this summer, how far back did you think, i am going to stop after this? i think the crunch point came in march. i had had another miscarriage just before christmas, andi miscarriage just before christmas, and ijust miscarriage just before christmas, and i just put miscarriage just before christmas, and ijust put my resignation in. i made that decision, i'd never even told michael at the time. my family we re told michael at the time. my family were like, don't do it until after the world cup. i said i can't go into the world cup knowing this information. i have to be honest with the players. you are from one of the most famous sporting families in this country. they must have been a big help to you. i am the little sister at the end of the day, and they always treat me like that. for them, they want me to be happy. i a lwa ys them, they want me to be happy. i always wa nt them, they want me to be happy. i always want me to succeed, and having two brothers has been a real positive for me because they don't only drive me, but they probably give me the best support. having the world cup in liverpool was fantastic. how can netball build on that now? i think the important
6:47 am
thing for me coming out of that, and i think philip said the same about his world cup with football as well, is spot is so brutal, there is such a fine line between winning or losing. it is another bronze medal for the england roses! but it is the legacy we create coming out of that is hugely important to us, see what impact we can have as a sport on the actual nation, and the world cup, we didn't win the gold medal, but as a team, it was probably one of the best environments i had ever been so much to talk about their mark —— to talk about their. and she does it in sucha to talk about their. and she does it in such a calm way, there was so much going on for her privately, that nobody knew about. and she was having to go out there, look positive and be positive, that takes an incredible amount of strength. they say sport is brutal, and to
6:48 am
compound that with what is going on in your private life as well. the thing i love from that interview is she says they would never be so negative with my athletes people are quite negative about her age and lots of medical people she spoke to... she said we've got to be positive. if this doesn't work, you look at the next option and the next option. and her positivity is incredible, incredible. she wouldn't be alone in that. so many people watching would have been through similar things are going through similar things are going through similar things. exactly. and it is heartening to hear someone talk like that. in a really calm and strong way. it's great. thank you very much. we saw earlier, carol, that it is boring. it's not good, is it? good morning, everyone, no, it is not very good. it is pouring in other parts of the south of england as well. and we have some
6:49 am
thunderstorms embedded in that. i'll show you the radar in just a few moments. today it is a generally cloudy day, there is some thunder in cloudy day, there is some thunder in cloud around, we've had some torrential downpours, and it is going to feel cooler than it did yesterday. the best of the sunshine in northern ireland, but even there one or two showers. this ran band goes back to yesterday afternoon. this far in september we've only had 20% of the rainfall we would expect at this stage in september. so here is our first band at this stage in september. so here is ourfirst band going through, later we will see another band going through. and if you look at the squeeze on the isobars, you can see it is going to be windy in the south—west later, it is windy and blustery down there in that band of rain at the moment. the met office has a warning for this band of rain, some tricky travel conditions. northern scotland having the lion's share of the sunshine, but some gusty winds and emerging bands of rain. brighter skies in northern
6:50 am
ireland, a few showers this morning, but dry weather to behind the rain with some sunshine. that in itself could spark off some heavy showers, some of which could be thundery. then later again, in the next area of cloud and rain and strengthening winds, that's coming in from the south—west. so it's relentless. as a goes through we have a gap and then the next one goes through. temperatures 12— 19 degrees, down a touch on yesterday. this band of rain continues to go across scotland, quite heavy, it comes across the south of england and with blustery winds around it. in between, a dry interlude, but we are inspecting the mist and fog to form, it could be dense across northern ireland. most of us staying in double figures overnight. tomorrow we start off with this rain continuing across the south—east of england, eventually clearing. then
6:51 am
it will brighten up for england under and also northern ireland, will see some sunshine coming through, but once again there will also be some showers developing in some of those could still be heavy and thundery. meanwhile, in scotland againa lot and thundery. meanwhile, in scotland again a lot of dry weather around, but a fairly cloudy day with a few showers. temperatures 13 in the north— 20 in the south. as we head through thursday, that band of rain coming across northern ireland, that pushes across most areas on thursday, then behind it we see showers follow on. there will be some sunshine around, a fair bit of dry weather as well, temperatures than 13 dry weather as well, temperatures than13 in dry weather as well, temperatures than 13 in the north and 19 in the south stop so your weather would be summed up in one word, and that is u nsettled. wise word, thank you. nearly 10,000 staff who worked for thomas cook in the uk will lose theirjobs after the collapse of the firm. then, we talked about this a little, but this is devastating. yeah, and
6:52 am
obviously the focus was getting some of those people back he was seemingly stranded abroad. quite rightly many of them are protected with insurance or the atol protection. the focus is now really on the staff, both here in the uk, and around the world. there are nearly 9000 staff working for thomas cookin nearly 9000 staff working for thomas cook in the uk, 20,000 all over the world. we are only done mark —— some of them were only learning about the demise of the firm through the media or after landing. we've had some stories of staff only learning when they landed and were able to turn their phones on, but some of them even worked beyond the end of their job to help help passengers get back to the uk. brandon writing on twitter to say i no longer have a
6:53 am
job after 25 years. he is asking for help from his followers to find anotherjob. here help from his followers to find another job. here is help from his followers to find anotherjob. here is that i actually feel so sick and so empty inside. my dreamjob, feel so sick and so empty inside. my dream job, gone feel so sick and so empty inside. my dreamjob, gone in feel so sick and so empty inside. my dream job, gone in the blink of an eye. well, we spoke to some of the workers outside the company's headquarters in binna burra, and they've been giving us their reactions are going to work for the final time. i've reactions are going to work for the finaltime. i've got reactions are going to work for the final time. i've got kids at home, i've never been on benefits, not used to benefits, i'm not sure what to do, to be honest. there are some ao to do, to be honest. there are some 40 and 50 —year—olds who have been working here for 30 odd years.” 40 and 50 —year—olds who have been working here for 30 odd years. i was going to get help with finding a job? is the last for you? i am done. not looking back. no. what will you do? we will see what happens next. wendy and comes, very sodden. and
6:54 am
very firm that has been around for so long, part of the landscape at high streets, people thought it would be here for quite a long time -- all would be here for quite a long time —— all ofa. would be here for quite a long time —— all of a. and this is different when we normally talk about firms going under, normally they go into administration. that is when administrators go to establish some parts of the business, some get sold off, some continue as an ongoing concern, and in that way they keep some of those staff. this time it is definite. the firm is in liquidation or insolvency, it means it's the end of the road and there is nothing really to salvage. for staff, that means they were very few options. it's not as if they can be taken on in some form in a new company. it's very unlikely they will recover all the payments owed to them. they will receive national insurance fund payment such as statuary minimum notice, statuary redundancy pay and any areas of salary and also a
6:55 am
certain amount of holiday pay. if they want to pursue additional amounts that the national insurance fund does not pay, they will need to stand in line with the rest of the unsecured creditors to recover that amount of money. that sounds so difficult. what about getting reemployed? this is where you get staff for many workers out of the firm. i street workers working in those stores, we know retail, we know that the high streets are tough right now. the prospects of being reemployed in a high street business is very slim. cabin crew and pilots may have better chances, there is a shortage of pilots around the world, but potentially the wrong time of yearfor but potentially the wrong time of year for them. but potentially the wrong time of yearfor them. this is the but potentially the wrong time of year for them. this is the low season, not when lots of us are going on holiday. so there dear of taking on lots of pilots and crew right now is not something many firms will be thinking about. that said, we know virgin atlantic has put out an ad for some current staff to be able to apply forjobs with them, other travel firms are doing something similar. so a really tough
6:56 am
time now coming just coming with that. yes, just looking ahead for you, gary lineker will bejoining us on the sofa in the next hour. he's not afraid to get involved with politics on social media, let's remind you of his journey. commentator: gary lineker! he loses it and gary lineker says thank you very much! that is a good one! well, it was to be a special day, the 150th running of the grand
6:57 am
national, it turned out to be a very sad day in court. the grand meeting was abandoned during a security alert, controlled explosion was made at the course after two goals, giving coded warnings had been received —— two calls. giving coded warnings had been received -- two calls. here we go again, new season, new titles, new managers, new signings, but apart from that, nothing much has really changed. we are reassured he will be clothed, he will be wearing clothes today. has he said that? not officially confirmed. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm tarah welsh. the mother of a man stabbed to death yards from her front door is pleading for help from the public to catch his killer. jude gayle was attacked in an alleyway in west norwood two years ago as he returned from the local shop.
6:58 am
three men stood trial for his murder, but were all found not guilty. his mother, pett roach, says she hopes a twenty thousand pound reward will persuade witnesses who've stayed silent so far to come forward. we aren't angry, we aren't full of hate. we may go through stages where we feel frustrated and angry, but we aren't angry, we are not. what we want is plain and simple justice. we want the correct people convicted and get the maximum sentence. a "hardworking loving father" — those are the words of the family of christopher tuvi. the engineer was killed while working at waterloo station last wednesday. he died while repairing a moving walkway at the underground station. mr tuvi leaves a partner and three young children. uber could find out later
6:59 am
whether its licence to operate in london will be renewed and by how long. its private hire licence will expire on wednesday. the company lost its licence in 2017 over public safety concerns, but then a judge granted a 15—month extension. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on most tube lines. just some minor delays on the hammersmith and city and circle lines. in wandsworth on the roads, one lane is closed for gas works on the high street. that's westbound near thejunction with wandsworth plain. and in east ham, barking road is closed in both directions between keppel road and latimer avenue. that's due to a police investigation. now, the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello. good morning. we've been rather short on wet weather so far this month, but this week we are certainly starting to make up for it. another day, another weather front. and today's rain looks
7:00 am
particularly heavy. there is a met office weather warning out for it. most places getting an inch or two of rain, some places even double that. there will be quite a lot of spray on roads and pavement and also some tricky travelling conditions do the rush hour. this band of rain putting its way eastwards, there will be some strong, gusty winds on every time too, but it will brighten up later in the afternoon. since because of sunshine but also the chance of some more heavy, but showers developing perhaps even a bit of lightning. it won't be particularly chilly, highs of 19 or 20 celsius, the winds will ease down for a time and pick up again overnight tonight. we've got a another weather front coming through and that is going to give us a more rain as we head to the early hours and into tomorrow morning. but it fairly milder start to the day, you may notice the temperatures this week, plenty more rain in the forecast as you can see, and it turns rather windy again on friday. there is plenty more on our usual

7:02 am
we know that i am a2 years old, so the risks are high and it creates a real fea rful the risks are high and it creates a real fearful environment. the risks are high and it creates a realfearful environment. if the risks are high and it creates a real fearful environment. if there was just a little more positivity around it, love to do with our athletes. —— like we do with our athletes. gary lineker will be here to tell us about football, finances and finding his political voice. good morning. a fairly cloudy and wet start, every thundery rain moving across england and wales with scotla nd moving across england and wales with scotland and northern ireland, brighter skies but still a few showers around. i have more details later on. good morning. it's tuesday the 24th of september. our top story: thousands more thomas cook passengers will be brought back home today in the state—funded rescue effort 0peration matterhorn. it comes as the travel firm's bosses face scrutiny for the multimillion—pound salaries and bonuses paid to directors over the past five years. in the last hour, the civil aviation authority has issued this update
7:03 am
on its repatriation mission so far. 1a,700 passengers have been flown back to uk airports. and another 16,500 are expected to arrive today. more than a thousand flights are planned over the next 13 days to bring home the remaining 135,000. 0ur reporter dan johnson has more on this story. antalya airport in southern turkey, and this is the aftermath of thomas cook's collapse. quite surprised, really, because it's such a big company, i didn't think it would actually happen, but... the desperation to get home. we'll get back. at least we'll be back in england, won't we? lam i am really pleased that the first day went well. we got back 95% of those we were intending. there were some operational difficulties and we
7:04 am

7:05 am
did management try hard enough? did they pay themselves too much? the government's asked the official receiver to investigate as a priority, because this is all that's left after 180 years — the proud heritage of a package holiday pioneer reduced to a leaflet about liquidation and now reliant on emergency rescue flights to bring its people home. with them come more questions about how it all went so badly wrong. dan johnson, bbc news. we will be talking about some of those questions later. 0ur reporter gavin lee is at palma airport in majorca. we will talk to you yesterday. how are things? good morning. it things are things? good morning. it things a little more organised this morning. basically what happened overnight, just to keep you up—to—date since we last spoke, there were a couple we spoke to live yesterday, they were hoping to get back to manchester yet today. it
7:06 am
was, at 1a5 this morning that they flew to manchester, they got in at a10. they have just arrived by taxi. a10. they have just arrived by taxi. a lot ofjourneys we are hearing this morning where airways have taken over some of those emergency operation matterhorn flights, and so people will get back, not to birmingham or newcastle, but to other places. there are some of the queues and there are people basically trying to work out still ina basically trying to work out still in a state of uncertainty. we will work over to another queue, and get a quick word with anna over here who... basically, anna is trying to get back, and you are not going to the destination you thought you were. what is happening? as far as were. what is happening? as far as we know, we should be flying to gatwick, and from manchester, it will take us five hours to get home. we're not sure how we will get manchester. how are you feeling today? i am fine. i amjust angry.
7:07 am
having to go to manchester, that is all. another five hours on the journey. i know we are getting home, i know that bit, but it isjust going all the way to manchester... they are not doing any flights to gatwick. everyone else seems to be going to their destination apart from gatwick. you are not the only ones. 2000 people... thank you. 2000 people trying to get back today. this is just the start, a very brief word, the hotels, thomas cook customers who haven't actually left the hotel yet, the hotel is saying they need to pay extra because i haven't yet been paid by thomas cook. that could be the story today, hotels wanting money from customers. thank you very much. we spoke to the civil aviation authority earlier and they said anybody in that position should get in touch with the civil of —— civil aviation authority helpline. more on some of those stories, particularly about the staff, thomas
7:08 am
cook staff throughout the programme. the rest of the news now. the uk's highest court will deliver an historic ruling this morning on boris johnson's decision to suspend parliament. if thejudgement goes against the prime minister, mps could be recalled immediately. mrjohnson will be thousands of miles away when the court delivers its verdict. that will be later this morning. he's at the un climate summit in new york. here's our legal correspondent clive coleman. it's arrived at speed — judgement day. 11 justices at the supreme court will rule on whether borisjohnson acted unlawfully in advising the queen to prorogue or suspend parliament for five weeks. is he anxious? i'm going to wait and see what thejudgement is, and — but i want to stress that this is a government that fully respects the law and fully respects the judiciary. the supreme court will resolve two dramatically contradictory rulings. scotland's highest civil court ruled the prime minister's advice to the queen to prorogue was motivated by the improper purpose of stymieing and frustrating parliament during critical
7:09 am
weeks before brexit. but the high court in london, in a case brought by the businesswoman gina miller, ruled that proroguing was a political matter and there were no legal standards against which a court could judge it. the supreme court will first have to decide whether prorogation is a matter for the courts. if it is, the court will go on to rule definitively whether borisjohnson's advice to the queen was unlawful, either because of his improper motivation, or perhaps more likely, because the effect was that legislation was lost and parliamentary scrutiny improperly denied. the wording of any declaration of unlawfulness will likely determine how parliament is reconvened, whether by government recall or at the invitation of the speakers of both houses. clive coleman, bbc news. let's bring you up—to—date on events
7:10 am
yesterday at the labour party conference of course. party members blocking —— backing jeremy corbyn staying neutral on brexit for a general election. 0ur political correspondent iain watson. give us a sense of what happened yesterday. you were there in the room and it got a little confusing at one point. it was a bit confusing yesterday, but clearly what happened was those were pressing for an overt remains dance for the general election were defeated, but they we re election were defeated, but they were defeated with a show of hands. they said it didn't properly register the vote, not everything will delegate vote was counted. that led to some of them saying they may even challenge that again today. that will extend the row into another day. certainly those in jeremy corbyn's side of the argument, effectively putting off any argument, effectively putting off a ny leave argument, effectively putting off any leave or remain decision for any general election for there was a
7:11 am
decisive victory. they felt it would have been better to conduct the vote ina have been better to conduct the vote in a different way so it wasn't as combative from the other side. there we re combative from the other side. there were somehow robbed. the challenge todayis were somehow robbed. the challenge today is to move this on to policy, but the creation of 37 new wind farms, an electric car revolution, new battery factories, investments such as stoke and swindon, but they will still be another row. this is over the question of when exactly to commit to net zero carbon emissions. a lot of grassroots activists want a specific date, 2030, some say it is too ambitious and it might cost them jobs. that will be also, that will be displayed on the conference floor today. thank you. human rights groups in egypt say more than 500 people have been arrested after protests against alleged government corruption in the country. demonstrations have been reported in the capital cairo and several other cities. the protests were the first significant incidents of unrest since president sisi banned demonstrations five years ago. more people are vaping than ever before according to new research.

said something else, so... yes, that was lost. applause the vote was close. judged only by a show of hands. some delegates furious, demanding a precise tally that could have been taken. no, i'm not going back to that. we have had the discussion. applause that was lost. the chance ofjeremy corbyn ringing out telling which side won the day. asigh of out telling which side won the day. a sigh of relief and the session is at least over. let's talk about some of the scenes, the result that came out of it. shadow business secretary rebecca long—bailey, who's in brighton. thank you for your time this morning. they would have seen the
7:15 am
moment in time with the vote where it is the executive, national executive chair wendy nichol sitting there on the show of hands has come up there on the show of hands has come up and she says, she thought it was 1—way and journey, who is a party by the general secretary, sitting right next to her, said she thought it was something else. what did you make of that moment? wendy is a very capable chair, and if she had any concerns about the vote, then no doubt she would have raised it and would have called for the vote again. the whole event was live on national television and our members voted democratically to support one particular motion because we are a democratic party. so, tell us what is the current position of the labour party in relation to brexit? it is dependent on where we are in the brexit process. we would attempt to
7:16 am
renegotiate a dealer that you would go to renegotiate a dealer that you would gotoa renegotiate a dealer that you would go to a public vote so that people could decide on whether that represented the brexit that they voted for in the referendum, and if it wasn't, it would be an option to remain on the ballot paper. and in terms of how we would campaign as a party, that would be dependent on the deal, and we would have a one—day conference with our members do democratically to decide the labour party position going into that referendum campaign. so in a general election campaign, rebecca long bailey, a u—turn about my doorstep are not on my door and say hello, i'd like to represent you in the forthcoming general election as your labour candidate. and i say to you, what does the labour party believe is the best result, should — is labour a brexit or a remain party? what is your answer? in a
7:17 am
general election i would say hello, and ask you how you were, rather than telling you straight i'm the candidate. i'd explain going into a general election, if we were still within the process of leaving the european union and we had extended article 50, to give us move to manoeuvre and give a case for a general election, we would negotiate a deal based on the principle that we have set up that would protect the economy, living standards and ensure there are our existing rights and protections, and that you need to make that final choice was you would have that final say, if that is what you vote for, and what we can achieve, both for that. and if you want to vote for remain, and that isn't represented in your vote in the referendum, then you will have the choice to do that. it is ha rd to have the choice to do that. it is hard to get away from the logic if you are a voter who wants exit, then you are a voter who wants exit, then you vote for a party that is guaranteeing they go (that. and if
7:18 am
you want to remain, you vote for the lib dems, hey? because they are guaranteeing... why would you vote for someone who might go either way? there is brexit with a deal, that would protect the economy and living standards, and then there is living without a deal. and living without a deal is something we will not countenance in the labour party, we know that would devastate industry and the economy overall, dragging down living standards and impacting the most vulnerable in our society. so we are very, very clear on that and what we wanted to achieve was a good deal, we have said that the last few years. we want people to have the final say, after all the drama that has happened in westminster, i think people are sick of what's been happening. it's making people ill, it's putting people on edge. industry and places have no certainty and they are tearing their hair out, and we want to draw a line on this and concentrate on the issues that are important to people.” concentrate on the issues that are important to people. i am sure that is very true. what you are saying
7:19 am
will have a resonance with a lot of people, and uncertainty. so are you in favour of remain or brexit? people, and uncertainty. so are you in favour of remain or brexit7m would depend on the final deal, if i'm honest, and i will look at the final deal and assess whether it protected our economy. i have been ona protected our economy. i have been on a journey in the labour party, when i first started out i was com pletely when i first started out i was completely against a public vote, i thought it would polarise society. well, after the drama and pantomime antics we've seen from the government over the last three yea rs, government over the last three years, i think we've missed a point where we will have to say look, we'll get the best deal we possibly can and in the people will have a final say. and then for my own personal position, as i said, others as that deal, and our party will as the deal and come to a resolution as to how we will campaign. if you look at keir starmer is' position, if you we re at keir starmer is' position, if you were involved in the negotiation process , were involved in the negotiation process, surely he would go to the negotiation saying, and he has set it up front, i think remain is the best thing, can you offer us
7:20 am
anything? personally, ithink best thing, can you offer us anything? personally, i think remain is better, but can you offer us anything? it things like such a week bargaining position. is a pragmatist and —— it seems like. ultimately he wa nts to and —— it seems like. ultimately he wants to remain, and with a referendum, unfortunately that didn't go the way he wanted it to, and the result of that was to lead the european union. we've respected that, we've said we'll try to get a best deal we possibly can, but he'll try to get the best possible deal regardless. rebecca, thank you very much for your time. speaking to us from the ongoing labour party conference. we do know this morning it is pretty miserable out there. carol has all the details for us. good morning. good morning. blue is right, it is fairly cloudy this
7:21 am
morning, there is quite a bit of rain around. some of that is heavy and thundery. —— louise. the best of any sunshine today is likely to be in northern ireland and north—west butland. certainly you will have it for the longest spell of time, some of us will see it later on in the day. so last night's rain moved across us, some of that was heavy. this morning because migraine is thundery, coming across england and. you see it here. so if you're travelling, do better in mind. it is pushing north—eastward, courtesy of this weather front here. after a lull in proceedings later in the day, we see another weather front coming our way day, we see another weather front coming ourway and day, we see another weather front coming our way and this will bring more rain in, strengthening winds and the cloud. we also have a band of rain moving north across scotland, anywhere at the moment from the isle of skye, across the great glen towards fife. they will end up in the northern isles. north—west scotland hanging onto the lion has matured the sunshine, this
7:22 am
getting into southern scotland and moving into northern england. for northern ireland, into the midlands, southern counties this afternoon, we will see some sunshine. and we will also see one or two showers and some of those could be heavy and thundery. but they will be hit and miss. and we also have our next system coming in from the west, bringing more rain, and gusty winds across england in south—west england and also wales. as we head to the evening and overnight, that will continue to grow southern areas, still some lightning embedded in it, and gusty winds around it. we have the rain weakening across scotland, quite a bit of cloud around, some murky conditions tonight and we was this mist and fog forming which could be dense across northern ireland, again something to bear in mind if you are travelling tomorrow morning. so tomorrow morning we started with irene in the south continuing its journey into the north sea —— our rain, still showers
7:23 am
in england and north wales, that could be heavy and thundery. through the day we've got cloud thickening and then we have some rain coming in. before scotland, remaining fairly cloudy for you with some showers. bridger wise we are looking at 13 in the north highs of 20 in the south. louise and charlie. thank you at 13 in the north highs of 20 in the south. louise and charlie. thank you very at 13 in the north highs of 20 in the south. louise and charlie. thank you very much, at 13 in the north highs of 20 in the south. louise and charlie. thank you very much, carol. at 13 in the north highs of 20 in the south. louise and charlie. thank you very much, carol. we at 13 in the north highs of 20 in the south. louise and charlie. thank you very much, carol. we will at 13 in the north highs of 20 in the south. louise and charlie. thank you very much, carol. we will see you very much, carol. we will see you later. as we've been discussing this morning, the collapse of thomas cook has caused inconvenience and distress to thousands of holiday—makers. but the firm's 21,000 employees face the immediate loss of theirjobs. david crichton has been a thomas cook pilot for the last 20 years. hejoins us now. he is in uniform! david, when did you hear about this? we know for a while it could be on the cards, when did you hear you could presumably lose yourjob? your mac officially, 1am on monday morning. the writing was on the while earlier that
7:24 am
evening, but 1am was the official e—mail saying thank you very much. then later in the day on monday, all of our work e—mail was cut off. were you in the uk? yes i was stopped we have drew stranded across the world, someone in cuba this morning, someone in cuba this morning, someone in cuba this morning, someone in las vegas trying to get home. one of our well—known carriers said ok, we have four seeds, and we are touching $10,000 proceed. —— per seat. i'm glad to say virgin did the right thing, getting those people home safely. a couple of other crews, i don't know what is happening to them. i know the company is doing their best, but management is out of a job as well, they have other things to sort out.
7:25 am
it's a mess for everybody. as you said before, in some ways this is not a surprise, a shock when it actually happens, of course. have you started to already think about what work you can do? how does it work for you personally? people thinking getting another job work for you personally? people thinking getting anotherjob as a pilot is easy. there are jobs around, but there is a seniority system. to me to get an equivalent job where i live is fickle, almost impossible. if i want to stay where iam,i impossible. if i want to stay where iam, iam impossible. if i want to stay where i am, i am going to have to start at the bottom again, take 50% pay cut, my time as a first officer and hopefully get promoted at that company if i want to keep the rain, otherwise, doing contract work far east, the options, really, airlines area east, the options, really, airlines are a very specialised business. tour operators as well, hq was peter burrow, 1000 people employed there, it is going to be devastating for the town. looking for the jobs in that area, there are going to be
7:26 am
10-20 that area, there are going to be 10—20 people per job that area, there are going to be 10—20 people perjob application. i have have not seen the numbers actually, but i think the fund was £50 million underwritten, they let it go and now the government have to pay £100 million in statutory redundancy payments, it is costing them 5— redundancy payments, it is costing them 5- £600 redundancy payments, it is costing them 5— £600 million to repatriate everyone. it doesn't add up. spoke to the civil aviation authority, i think they put that figure at £100 million. from your point of view, we know all of these passengers are being brought about, what is happening with staff? are they not pa rt happening with staff? are they not part of the same programme? no. it's a dangerous business, to keep flying when you don't have a job into or three days time —— in two or three days time, having stressed emotions area bad
7:27 am
days time, having stressed emotions are a bad thing, but a german airline, condor, have been given some state aid to continue and they doing repatriate implied in the hope they can find a bidder to save their airline —— repatriation flights. they were told when they were flying? people who did the very last flight flying? people who did the very last flight into manchester, i try not to think about it, it is quite emotional, the tower are telling you what is happening. i think as we walked to the airport, everybody knew and everyone paused, it's nice, but it's heartbreaking. i've been there 20 years, but there are a lot of people who have been there an awful lot longer than me. and just everything that is wrong with big business is here to see own it was a bet against the company failing, big hedge funds yesterday, they got paid out £200 million. because they
7:28 am
batted against the failure. so people had a vested interest in this company, as well as in its failure. we appreciate you coming in, as well as in your uniform. we will follow—up about what the facts are. thank you very much, and clearly it isa thank you very much, and clearly it is a really difficult time for everyone involved. it is 7:28am. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tarah welsh. the mother of a man stabbed to death yards from her front door is pleading for help from the public to catch his killer. jude gayle was attacked in an alleyway in west norwood two years ago as he returned from the local shop. three men stood trial for his murder but were all found not guilty. his mother says she hopes a £20,000 will persuade witnesses who've stayed silent so far to come forward.
7:29 am
we're not angry, we're not full of hate. we might go through stages where we feel do frustrated and angry, but we're not angry, we're not. what we want is plain and simple justice. we want the correct people convicted and get the maximum sentence. a "hardworking loving father", those are the words of the family of christopher tuvi, the engineer killed while working at waterloo station last wednesday. mr tuvi, who was also a member of the army reserve, was repairing a moving walkway on the underground when he died. there's an investigation in to how the father of three was killed. uber could find out later whether its licence to operate in london will be renewed and by how long. its private hire licence will expire on wednesday. the company lost its licence in 2017
7:30 am
over public safety concerns, but then a judge granted a 15—month extension. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on most tube lines. just some minor delays on the hammersmith and city and circle lines. queueing on a102 woolwich road northbound towards the blackwall tunnel. in east ham, barking road is closed in both directions between keppel road and latimer avenue. that's due to a police investigation. now, the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello. good morning. we've been rather short on wet weather this morning, but making up for it. another day, another weather front. and today's rain that is particularly happy. there's an office with a warning outfit. most lisa seeing an inch or two of rain, some places in double that. there will be some spray on the roads and
7:31 am
pavements and possibly some tricky travelling conditions, physically through this morning's rush—hour. this band of rain is missing is with, there will be some strong gusty winds on every time to, but it will tend to brighten up in the afternoon, some spells of sunshine, but also a chance of similar heavy, thundery showers developing, even lightning. it won't feel particularly chilly, up to 20 celsius was up and we are going to have some more rain as we had through the early hours and into tomorrow morning. a fairly mild studs of the day, you won't notice the temperatures do much this week, but plenty more rain in the forecast as you can see. it turns rather windy again on friday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. in the meantime, there's plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to charlie and louise. bye for now. hello. this is breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news.
7:32 am
the repatriation of thousands of thomas cook holidaymakers is continuing after the collapse of the travel firm. it comes as the travel firm's bosses face scrutiny for the multimillion—pound salaries and bonuses paid to directors over the past five years. ben's here with the details. first of all, on the operation to bring people back, it has to be said there are some issues, but largely, in terms of getting people back at the right time when the holidays are over, it is working. remarkably smooth, actually. it is fair to say they practised doing this at the colla pse they practised doing this at the collapse of monarch in 2017 about how to get all these people back from places where they were expecting to finish their holidays and fly home. this morning we had an update from the civil aviation authority, the body in charge of the repatriation effort. the biggest peacetime repatriation ever. let me run you through the numbers because they are staggering. 1a,700 passengers were flown back to uk
7:33 am
airports yesterday, 95% of all the holidaymakers who should have been coming back from thomas cook flights yesterday. doing pretty well there. another 16,500 are due to fly over the course of today as well. just to make sure everybody gets back, more than 1000 flights are planned over the next 13 days. just to reiterate, this means that people will come home when they are due to come home stop they don't have to change their holiday, fly back early. they will come home when the flight is due to operate. and we have been hearing from them this morning as well, because there is concern about how much this cost. the civil aviation authority has sold us the pricetag will be about £100 million they think, they will get a final assessment of that later. 60% of those holidays were at all protected, so the travel agencies themselves and the travel firm who will fund that. £60 million, £ao million will come from the taxpayer.
7:34 am
0k, ben. thank you. the highest court in the uk will give an historic ruling this morning on whether borisjohnson misled the queen when he asked for parliament to be suspended. the prime minister, who's been accused of an unlawful "abuse of power", will be thousands of miles away when the judgement is delivered at the climate summit in new york. if it goes against him, parliament may be reconvened immediately forcing him to reconsider his strategy on delivering brexit. more people are vaping than ever before according to new research. the charity action on smoking and health says the number of adults using e—cigarettes has reached 3.6 million. the charity says e—cigarettes are the most popular tool to help people quit smoking. the duke and duchess of sussex are on the second day of their royal tour of south africa. harry and meghan have already visited a township in cape town where they met campaigners fighting against high rates of violence against women and children. it's their first official overseas
7:35 am
trip with a—month—old son archie. those are the main stories this morning. let's have a look at the sport. i was just looking, morning. let's have a look at the sport. iwasjust looking, we morning. let's have a look at the sport. i wasjust looking, we said we would go to the weather with carol. if only i was carol kirkwood. it is my dream. she has the best life ever. except today you would be telling us there is a lot of rain everywhere. whereas you can tell us about... wonderful footballers. i can tell you about the most glamorous, glittering sports awards ceremony you have ever seen in italy last night. i watched it all live, i couldn't take my eyes off it. sometimes awards ceremony can be a little bit strange to watch. it was great, though. lionel messi won the men's award and megan rapinoe won the women's award. in her speech, she called for greater equality across football after being named the fifa best women's player. rapinoe took the prize ahead of england's lucy bronze. lionel messi won the men's award.
7:36 am
rapinoe urged professional players to use their platform to tackle racism, homophobia and sexism. if everybody was as outraged about homophobia as the lgbtq players, if everybody was as outraged about equal pay or the lack thereof or the lack of investment in the women's game other thanjust women, that would be the most inspiring thing to me. i feel like that is my ask of everybody. we have such an incredible opportunity being professional football players. liverpool'sjurgen klopp was named best men's coach ahead of manchester city's pep guardiola and tottenham's mauricio pochettino. liverpool's allison becker won best men's goalkeeper. scotland's campaign has suffered another blow with scrum—half ali price ruled out of the tournament with a foot injury. he's the second player to be sent home injured after flanker hamish watson. johnnie bairstow has been dropped from the england test squad for the tour of new zealand. bairstow‘s poor form with the bat had led to speculation
7:37 am
that he may miss out. it's likely thatjos buttler will keep wicket in his place. bairstow has been included in the t20 squad for the series starting on 1st november. i thinkjohnny bairstow has the potential to be a top, top test match player. he is already one of the best white ball players in the world. seven years ago he was picked to play test match cricket as a batsman for england. seven years on i believe he can have a terrific spell back in the side once he has had a bit of a reset. he has had a very busy summer. it is an opportunity for him to step back for a moment, reset, work on some things and come back better. watch this for some inspiration. emily muskett has become britain's first medallist at a world weightlifting championship in 25 years with a clean—and—jerk bronze in thailand. muskett said it was amazing considering she'd been working three jobs and training when she could. 0uch! she benefited from uk sport‘s ‘aspiration fund‘, set up to help athletes in some
7:38 am
unfunded sports qualify for tokyo 2020. do you know, that movement to be basically the best exercise you can do. is it? it uses pretty much every muscle in your body. she almost looks doublejointed. muscle in your body. she almost looks double jointed. you said earlier it was the knees. congratulations to her. yes, completely. here are two examples from cycling‘s road world championships of why you should never give up when all seems lost. take a look. antonio tiberi made a disastrous start in the men‘s junior time trial in yorkshire and the italian was forced to change bikes. after that, he then got stuck behind a car, but kept on going, and went on to record the fastest time and win the gold medal. he wasn‘t the only one. russia‘s aigul gareeva won the junior women‘s time trial. look, she went the wrong way! she still went on to finish first. there‘s live coverage of the women‘s individual time trial on bbc2
7:39 am
at 2:30 this afternoon. never give up even when you have lost. never give up! i think that has to be one of our phrases of the day. logically when you listen to what the next guest we have on is going to talk about. —— particularly. former england netball coach tracey neville says older mothers deserve more respect. she stepped down from coaching the roses after the world cup this summer to start a family at the age of a2. earlier this month she revealed she‘s expecting her first child with her partner. she told sally her age caused a lot of people to worry about her pregnancy. listen to this. the negativity that comes around. all the women having children. we know that i am a2 years old, so the risks are high, and it creates a real fearful environment. if it was just a little bit more positivity around it, like we do with our athletes. they go down the
7:40 am
route of, well, we are preparing you to fail. i don‘t prepare my team to fail. i prepare them for the win. don‘t you just love that attitude? huge congratulations to her. and we can see more of the interview which is excellent at 8:40am. i have more positivity from tracy. here‘s carol with a look at this morning‘s weather. how is the weather looking? good morning, everyone. this morning is a fairly cloudy and wet start to the day. there is a mist and fog around to watch out for. the best of the sunshine today is going to meet across north—west scotland and northern ireland. this is where we headed for the longest but some of us will see you through the day as well. let me take you through the forecast. this is yesterday‘s rain moving towards the east. this is this morning‘s rain coming from the south—west. if you are travelling, there is already some flooding in
7:41 am
parts around junction 3, but a lot of standing water around so do take it easy. at front moves north—east and later on another one comes in across the south—west. the brighter skies across north—west scotland and northern ireland, even here we are seeing one or two showers but many of them will fade. this afternoon, the rain that is currently from the isle of skye to five will have pushed up and weakened in the northern isles, blustery and we have another man coming in across northern england and southern and southeast scotland which will be heavy. and northern ireland the showers will clear and you see some sunshine. behind this and of rain, there will be a fair bit of sunshine. as temperatures rise, with seashells developed and they could be heavy and thundery. later, the cloud thickens and more rain files in across wales and south—west england. with blustery winds. temperature around 12 to 19 degrees, so if you are heading up the front
7:42 am
door now, stick an umbrella in your bag, you are likely to need it at some stage. as we head through the evening and overnight we have our band of rain pushing northwards and fragmenting across scotland, a band is coming in across wales and south—west through the day will continue to push eastwards. still some lightning and listen blustery around it. a lot of cloud and mist and fog forming, which could well be dense, especially across northern ireland. it is not going to be a particularly cold night. bridge is falling between 12 and about 1a degrees. as we head on through tomorrow morning, we say goodbye to the rain in the south—east. it dries up the rain in the south—east. it dries up behind it, we see sunny skies develop and for england and wales, there is a risk of some showers through the day. some of those could also be heavy and thundery. for scotland, fairly cloudy throughout the day and you will have some showers. for northern ireland, after a sunny start that cloud will encroach from the west and we start to see some rain arrived. during the course of wednesday night on thursday, that rain will continue to push eastwards across the uk. behind it, there will be some brighter
7:43 am
skies, but there will also be showers around and some of those will be heavy and potentially thundery. some sunny skies means temperatures between 13 and about 19 degrees. late in the day again, we can see the next system waiting in the wings in northern ireland and should —— over friday it will continue to push eastwards followed on by some showers, some of which will merge to give longer spells of rain. the weather this weekend remains unsettled. do you want to say hello to gary? hello, gary! have you met before? yes, of course we have. i have been around a long time. still raining. gary hasjust confirmed it is raining outside here in salford. thank you, gary. thank you so much. that has made lots of people‘s day. you so much. that has made lots of people's day. lovely to see you. likewise. live television. do you
7:44 am
love it? i like live television better than recorded television because you know when it starts and you know when it finishes. it gets the adrenaline flowing. it is the closest thing probably to sport in the sense that you alive, people are watching you, it can go wrong, he can go occasionally as well! it is a replacement. the one thing you can‘t replacement. the one thing you can‘t replace after football is that feeling of winning a big game or scoring an important goal. that is the one thing that is irreplaceable. you are not really going to come off there and go... are you? there was a programme you really liked and you came off there and thought you nailed it. hopefully more than one. that was probably england and sweden, which ended up winning a ba fta. sweden, which ended up winning a bafta. there are times when you get a feeling you know it has gone well and other times where you think maybe not. it is not live football and people sometimes say, playing foot all on television, not really nervous on either, but i think the
7:45 am
fundamental differences is that if you miss your opening line on television, no—one is really bothered except yourself. if you meana bothered except yourself. if you mean a “— bothered except yourself. if you mean a —— miss a penalty in the world cup, you are affecting people‘s lives for a week. there is a fundamental difference. your new book is behind closed two doors, and ta ke book is behind closed two doors, and take us right back. people are fascinated with what you are like when you are younger for the what we re when you are younger for the what were you like as a child foot bowler? tell us about your dad. it isa bowler? tell us about your dad. it is a lot about your dad in the book and his role in your career in a way —— footballer. and his role in your career in a way -- footballer. my family were hugely supportive, but that was a market trader, so he ferried the team around in the back of the van and sitting on apple boxes. there you go. that was injapan. but he was amazingly supportive. people talk about as well the fact that i never
7:46 am
got a yellow card, which in the modern game you think that is ridiculous, whereas in my time, you had to almost commit grievous bodily harm to get a yellow card at times. but i remember one of the reasons for that was probably because he marched onto the pitch when i was about 1a, i had been called upside about 1a, i had been called upside about four times in the game, wrongly i felt, and i a go at the referee. i might have used the f bomb. he marched onto the pitch, frogmarched me off, saying, if you do that again, you are not playing football. the lesson was learned. and you knew he meant it. he meant it, yes. he was a calm guy, but every now and then... he had the temper i never really had. it is very moving because quite a few people in this generation give much away in terms of his emotions. am i right about that? right at the end of his life, things were said. yes, he died just about... almost two
7:47 am
yea rs he died just about... almost two years ago, one month before. i had been going up and down to leicester because they had lung cancer and he was getting worse and i spent a lot of time with him, and one on one time, he started sharing things that we had never done before. it was about ten days — two weeks before he passed, and hours i was leaving the hospital he just said "i love you." and i had never heard him say that before in my life. because the generation is quite stoic, aren‘t they? they don‘t like sharing their emotions. my mum did. i kinda figured he did and he‘d often say he was proud of what i did, but to hear that was... i love you too, but i was nervous. so one thing i would say is share those feelings with your parents and vice—versa because idid your parents and vice—versa because i did well your parents and vice—versa because idid wellup, your parents and vice—versa because i did well up, i must say. so much of the book is about football, but
7:48 am
also you knew maybe this was the time you knew you needed to hang up your boots. there was a moment. i spoke to one or two footballers about this, it‘s the moment peter crouch ran past him, that was one moment from another player. for me, i was out injapan, and suddenly there was — the fact that i was in japan suggested i was on the demise. and there was a through ball, i was in it, and i thought i drew is passed on, hang on a minute, hang on a minute, there is this japanese defender who just a minute, there is this japanese defender whojust kind of a minute, there is this japanese defender who just kind of run away from me. and then i thought that‘s it. because a player like me, i rely a lot on my pace. another thing in football, you know that it will and. it's football, you know that it will and. it‘s a bit sad, but all things and. in football, things and early. it was a magical career. today people have being paying tribute to line or
7:49 am
messy, he‘s got a another a wide —— another award. he is footage of you. look at you! when shorts were shorts. it was weird, it was like a0 celsius, we were under pressure. we had to win in the last game, we did. i think two—thirds of that pitch we re i think two—thirds of that pitch were just like i think two—thirds of that pitch werejust like a hedge, around the side. certainly the early games we play. is it unfair to ask you how you rate yourself as a kind of — against lionel messi? incomparable. i knew i had to score goals, i knew the movements that were necessary, it was really quick, i was calm under pressure. that i wasn‘t the most technically gifted footballer. i couldn‘t dribble past you now! well, maybe i could. i had good
7:50 am
mental strength and nothing really affected me, but i wasn‘t unbelievably talented, even when i was in my single does not my school team, but my sunday youth team, there were players i thought he would have a better chance than me. someone like messi, he plays the game to which we footballers are not familiar with. he is absolutely on a different level, and i was actually glad he won the award last night. he‘s had an unbelievably brilliant year and the is just a wonderfully gifted football and joys to watch, thatis gifted football and joys to watch, that is the difference to me, for him. some people are really annoyed that other people didn‘t win. him. some people are really annoyed that other people didn't win. well, yeah, you have this whole messi rinaldo thing, but we are blessed to have them both at the same time, they are blessed to have each other and they have quizzed each other. they are brilliant, in terms of
7:51 am
goalscoring, these school the got pretty much every game —— they have pushed each other. they won everything in the domestic game et cetera. for me, there isjust a little bit of a difference, and if you look at messi, probably as good a pastor as you will ever see, he is only as good as a dribbler as you‘ll ever see. but overall, only as good as a dribbler as you‘ll eversee. but overall, messi only as good as a dribbler as you‘ll ever see. but overall, messi isjoys to watch and rinaldo is brilliant to watch. let‘s fast forward, let‘s have a look? hey, tell you what, football‘s back. good? have hey, tell you what, football‘s back. good ? have i hey, tell you what, football‘s back. good? have i got thejob? well, it‘s new boys all the way tonight. so, that moment in time, what is it like watching that? 20 years ago, that
7:52 am
moment. when des left, the guy on the gate, he told me have you heard the gate, he told me have you heard the news? des has left, it‘s terrible news! i was like, is it? i was the only person in the country who thought it was quite good news. the smoothest person ever on television. obviously i was kind of style with a cheeky opening. he was so helpful to me as well, before he left itv i was doing a bit and he gave me some little tips and he would say be brave enough to have a little bit of a quip, have a bit of a funny closing night. some people like it and some people don‘t, but trade. there are upsides to being good at yourjob, people recognise you are good at yourjob now, but
7:53 am
downsides, which it you lots of scrutiny. —— but try it. everyone says gary lineker and his pay, why is he paid so much? i am not asking that. and all that stuff that comes with it. how do you respond to all about? it's difficult because how cani—asa about? it's difficult because how can i — as a footballer, how can you justify your salary? whether it is on the picture in entertainment, it is competitive and a lot of people wa nt is competitive and a lot of people want you. get you in a position where you get a good salary, a really good salary, obviously. i‘m not going to sit here and pretend that i work harder than a nurse or a rail worker, obviously i‘m incredibly fortunate. that is the position. none of us like talking about our salaries but... it has beenin about our salaries but... it has been in the newspapers that you might be taking a pay cut, is that true? i'm negotiating at the moment, andi true? i'm negotiating at the moment, and i think once we are in a
7:54 am
position then i‘ll be in a position to make some form of proposition. will you take one? we will have to wait and see. something has changed in the way people are looking at those things. at the bbc they have, because obviously elsewhere doesn‘t matter. you know, pundits out there that are in place as much as i do, but that is the way it is. i love working for the bbc, 25 years now, and it has been a magical part of my life. one of the things that happen, megan rapinoe got the women‘s fifa award we were talking about earlier, amongst other things, famous for her views and putting out stuff there, you have a platform now, and you aren‘t shy of using it for putting out your personal views? yeah, what a fool. do you think that? sometimes
7:55 am
you wonder why you put your head up, but i feel strongly about some issues. people can, you know, will disagree on certain topics that i‘ve been kind of, voicing my concerns about. and that‘s fair enough. i suppose it‘s the abusive side of things that i find hard to comprehend, really. we are so divided at the moment. i think it‘s really — it‘s a great scene that it‘s like that because i‘ve got made you a brexiteer is and we get along perfectly —— i‘ve got friends who are brexit supporters. i don‘t see why we should fall out, but that is the way is at the moment? it‘s worrying. do you notice - i'm interested , worrying. do you notice - i'm interested, just going back to the paving quickly, it will presumably talk to you in the street, —— pay thing, do people want to talk to you
7:56 am
about it in the street? no, not really. we always mention racism in football and abuse going on at the moment, you see a difference in tone, what do you think?” moment, you see a difference in tone, what do you think? i mean obviously in my time it was significantly worse than i thought we had made huge strides. i had played in matches where i‘d seen bananas thrown on the beach, stuff like that. it was abhorrent. i sat on an aeroplane with the england squad next to john on an aeroplane with the england squad next tojohn baudouin, two england fans ran down saying you shouldn‘t play in an england shirt, stuff like that. i thought we had moved on massively from that but obviously there are always exceptions. it has kind of reared its ugly head again, not that it never went away completely, of course. but it is drifting back. i think it‘s great we‘re seeing young speak out, people like raheem sterling, and then romelu lukaku,
7:57 am
and when it happens in football, i suppose, the fact that they‘ve got this big part want to say something about it will hopefully help people who have to deal with that every day in their life and industry. really interesting to talk to you about all these things. i‘m still slightly dwelling on the thing gary said about him being able to dribble past me. i‘m not giving. since you said that i said i don‘t know, i don‘t have any special skills.” that i said i don‘t know, i don‘t have any special skills. i know where my money is. we will have to see. sitting in my head. you have to dream, don‘t you? yeah well... that‘s it. this for yourself, go over your dreams. i‘m sizing you up now, i think i might be able to do it. lies, laughs and football. time
7:58 am
to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. the mother of a man stabbed to death yards from her front door is pleading for help from the public to catch his killer. jude gayle was attacked in an alleyway in west norwood two years ago as he returned from the local shop. three men stood trial for his murder, but were all found not guilty. his mother says she hopes a £20,000 reward will persuade witnesses, who‘ve stayed silent so far to come forward. we‘re not angry, we‘re not full of hate. we might go through stages where we feel do frustrated and angry, but we‘re not angry, we‘re not. what we want is plain and simple justice. we want the correct people convicted
7:59 am
and get the maximum sentence. a "hardworking, loving father", those are the words of the family of christopher tuvi, the engineer killed while working at waterloo station last wednesday. mr tuvi, who was also a member of the army reserve, was repairing a moving walkway on the underground when he died. there‘s an investigation in to how the father of three was killed. uber could find out later whether its licence to operate in london will be renewed and by how long. it‘s due to expire tomorrow. the company lost its licence in 2017, but then a judge granted a 15—month extension. let‘s take a look at the travel situation now. the tube is ok on most lines this morning, except for the victoria line, which is part suspended. 0n the roads in lewisham, one lane is closed on lee high road westbound at the junction with belmont hill due to gas works. in east ham, barking road is closed in both directions
8:00 am
between keppel road and latimer avenue. that‘s due to a police investigation. now, the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello. good morning. we‘ve been rather short on wet weather so far this month, but this week we are starting to make up for it. another day, another weather front. and today‘s rain looks particularly heavy. there‘s a met office weather warning for it. most of us seeing an inch or two of rain, some places double that. there will be some spray on the roads and pavements and possibly some rather tricky travelling conditions, particularly through this morning‘s rush—hour. this band of rain is pushing its way eastwards, there will be some strong, gusty winds on it for a time too, but it will tend to brighten up a bit later on in the afternoon, some spells of sunshine, but also the chance of some more heavy, thundery showers developing, perhaps even a bit of lightning. it won‘t feel particularly chilly, highs of 19—20 celsius.
8:01 am
the winds will ease down for a time only to pick up again tonight and that is going to give us some more rain as we head through the early hours and into tomorrow morning. a fairly mild start to the day, you won‘t notice the temperatures too much this week, but plenty more rain in the forecast as you can see. it turns rather windy again on friday. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. in the meantime, there‘s plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast. 0ur headlines today... thousands more thomas cook customers are being flown home amid questions about multi—million pound salaries for bosses. thousands of people who worked for the company will lose theirjobs.” am truly gutted. genuinely truly
8:02 am
gutted for my colleagues and all the passengers we carried. decision day at the supreme court. judges prepared to deliver an historic verdict on borisjohnson‘s decision to suspend parliament. tracey neville speaks to us about herjoy of becoming pregnant in her 40s and standing down from the england netball team and how older mothers deserve respect. we know i netball team and how older mothers deserve respect. we know! am a2—year—old and the risk is high so there is uncertainty. it is a cloudy and wet start to the day with rain pushing north—east, sunny skies behind before more rain comes in later. more details in 15 minutes. it‘s tuesday the 24th of september. our top story. thousands more thomas cook
8:03 am
passengers will be brought back home today in the state—funded rescue effort, 0peration matterhorn. it comes as the travel firm‘s bosses face scrutiny for the multi—million—pound salaries and bonuses paid to directors over the past five years. in the last hour, the civil aviation authority has issued this update on its repatriation mission so far. 1a,700 passengers were flown back to uk airports yesterday, that‘s 95% of holidaymakers who would have been due home on monday. and another 16,500 are expected to arrive today. more than 1,000 flights are planned over the next 13 days, to bring home the remaining 135,000 tourists. 0ur reporter dan johnson has more on this story. antalya airport in southern turkey, and this is the aftermath of thomas cook‘s collapse. quite surprised, really, because it‘s such a big company, i didn‘t think it would actually happen, but... the desperation to get home. we‘ll get back. at least we‘ll be back in england, won‘t we? i am really pleased
8:04 am
that the first day went well. we got back 95% of those we were intending. there were some operational difficulties and we will continue to have that. that is life in the aviation industry. hi. the manchester flight‘s full, right? yes. and help from staff who are already out of a job. that‘s just thomas cook, isn‘t it? we want thomas cook! that‘s 22,000 jobs worldwide, 9,000 in the uk. i‘m truly gutted...| am. genuinely truly gutted for my colleagues and all the passengers that we carried. and there are the holidays that haven‘t even started yet. this is our savings pot. hundreds of pounds of thomas cook vouchers saved for a trip to disneyland are now worthless. so, to tell him that it wouldn‘t be happening,
8:05 am
it was awful, it was horrible. it‘s not something that i ever wanted to do. i never wanted to disappoint my children. i would like to say sorry to all our customers. they‘ve heard an apology, but not much explanation. did management try hard enough? did they pay themselves too much? the government‘s asked the official receiver to investigate as a priority, because this is all that‘s left after 180 years — the proud heritage of a package holiday pioneer reduced to a leaflet about liquidation and now reliant on emergency rescue flights to bring its people home. with them come more questions about how it all went so badly wrong. dan johnson, bbc news. 0ur reporter gavin lee is at palma airport in majorca. give us a sense of how things are playing out there.
8:06 am
a little more organised than yesterday. still hundreds of people trying to work out where they are going to but we have two big airlines, malaysia airlines and titan airlines who are stepping in to ta ke titan airlines who are stepping in to take people back. these people are going to stansted, bristol, the east midlands and cardiff as well. if you‘re going to birmingham and newcastle today, you will not be getting there, you will have to be diverted. a lot of people are not taking the chance because they are advised that coaches that were part of their packages might not arrive. charlie is only a few months old, they have been rushed to the front of the queue. i‘m going to have a word here. you are one of the lucky ones at the front of the queue. how has this morning been? luckily we didn‘t wait to see if there was a bus, we took a taxi. we have been
8:07 am
here a long time. we got here at ten past seven, just checked in now, two hours later, but at least we have checked in and hopefully everything will be all right. how has it affected your holiday? i will work with you. it has been worrying. if you are a stressed person, yeah. thank you for talking to us this morning. we have heard from one hotel on the other side of the island, passengers called me last night and said they had to pay the hotel 1008 euros because they hadn‘t been paid by thomas cook. some people are refusing. the advice from the aviation authority is do not pat’-
8:08 am
the aviation authority is do not pay. things are more smooth than yesterday here. 95% of people are getting back on the day they are expecting too, albeit with a different carrier or possibly with slightly different arrangements, but it appears that the system is working. the uk‘s highest court will deliver an historic ruling this morning, on boris johnson‘s decision to suspend parliament. if thejudgement goes against the prime minister, mps could be recalled immediately. mrjohnson will be thousands of miles away when the court delivers its verdict. he‘s at the un climate summit in new york. here‘s our legal correspondent clive coleman. it‘s arrived at speed — judgement day. 11 justices at the supreme court will rule on whether borisjohnson acted unlawfully in advising the queen to prorogue or suspend parliament for five weeks.
8:09 am
is he anxious? i‘m going to wait and see what thejudgement is, and — but i want to stress that this is a government that fully respects the law and fully respects the judiciary. the supreme court will resolve two dramatically contradictory rulings. scotland‘s highest civil court ruled the prime minister‘s advice to the queen to prorogue was motivated by the improper purpose of stymieing and frustrating parliament during critical weeks before brexit. but the high court in london, in a case brought by the businesswoman gina miller, ruled that proroguing was a political matter and there were no legal standards against which a court could judge it. the supreme court will first have to decide whether prorogation is a matter for the courts. if it is, the court will go on to rule definitively whether borisjohnson‘s advice to the queen was unlawful, either because of his improper motivation, or perhaps more likely, because the effect was that legislation was lost and parliamentary scrutiny improperly denied. the wording of any declaration of unlawfulness will likely determine how parliament
8:10 am
is reconvened, whether by government recall or at the invitation of the speakers of both houses. clive coleman, bbc news. labour‘s deputy leader, tom watson, will address the party‘s annual conference in brighton todayjust days after a failed attempt to remove his post. he‘ll warn that the party is handing a "gift to the tories" by turning in on itself. yesterday, amid chaotic scenes, party members endorsed jeremy corbyn‘s policy to stay neutral on brexit if it wins a general election. 0ur political correspondent iain watson is in brighton. what happened ? lets look forward a little bit, because you mentioned tom watson. there was an attempt to oust him as deputy leader before the conference got under way. he likened it to a drive—by shooting, a political assassination. he says he will talk about unity and drawing a line under the whole affair but i think he will
8:11 am
talk about how divisive and unnecessary it was, so if he is drawing a line under it, it is a squiggly line. and a bit of a row about what happened last night, people who wanted an overworked remain campaign but they were defeated. it was a show of hands rather than a secret ballot. some people say they might try to challenge that today. even when labour move on to a policy agenda today, the environment, something that should appeal to a wider generation of voters, there will be a dispute over one aspect of it, whether you can have a target of net zero emissions by 2030 or whether, as some unions think, that is unrealistic. more people are vaping than ever before, according to new research. the charity action on smoking and health says the number of adults using e—cigarettes has reached 3.6 million. the charity says e—cigarettes are the most popular tool to help people quit smoking.
8:12 am
skies over an indonesian province turned blood red due to widespread forest fires which have swept across large parts of the country. the extraordinary pictures, from the jambi provence, look like they were taken on the surface of mars. every year, fires in indonesia create a smoky haze that can end up blanketing the entire south east asian region. experts say the unusual sky was caused by a phenomenon known as "rayleigh scattering". the duke and duchess of sussex are on the second day of a royal tour of south africa. yesterday harry and meghan visited a township in cape town, where they met campaigners fighting against high rates of violence against women and children. 0ur south africa correspondent, pumza fihlani, is live in cape town now. looking at a rather magnificent landscape behind you. what will be
8:13 am
happening? it isa happening? it is a beautiful sunny day here but we are not just it is a beautiful sunny day here but we are notjust here for fun and games. the duke and duchess will be visiting a local charity, waves of change, helping children with issues of mental health, something harry feels passionately about, having spoken about dealing with depression after his mother died. he will be meeting some of the local mentors teaching children how to surf and talking about the trauma of living within violent societies. local township children meet here regularly and get to chat through what it is like living in an impoverished environment, but also about how to tackle the lack of resources around mental health. there is another fund who benefited from an endorsement on social media
8:14 am
from an endorsement on social media from the couple. that will go a long way to helping to feed the local children here. how much interest as they are on the royal couple‘s visit? what sort of reception are they getting? they have received a very warm welcome from yesterday when they touched down and came to the township, considered one of the most dangerous areas here. people are keen to find out if the duchess will hold on to her feisty spirit she was known for before she became part of the royal family. they known for before she became part of the royalfamily. they are keen to find out if she gets involved in charity work. there is interest on whether we will get to see archie
8:15 am
around. no indication on that. thank you very much for that. let‘s return to the collapse of the travel firm thomas cook now, and the huge uncertainty it‘s causing for holiday—makers who fear they may be left out of pocket. earlier we spoke to dame deirdre hutton, the chair of the civil aviation authority, which is leading the operation to bring stranded travellers back to the uk. monarch was half the size of this operation and the repatriation cost 50 million so by extrapolation i would guess this will be in the order of 100 million. would guess this will be in the order of100 million. once it would guess this will be in the order of 100 million. once it is over, the figures will be completely washed through and made public but i expect something in the order of 100 million. the passengers are 60% at all protected, so 60% of that will come through the fund which builds up come through the fund which builds up through the atol system, so the
8:16 am
taxpayer will end up paying i guess a0% of it. i think the problem for thomas cook, it has been going on for a while, they had 1.7 billion in debt, struggling with that. it is a very competitive market with low—cost new entrants and they were operating on an old—fashioned model. 0perating operating on an old—fashioned model. operating on brochures when the world moved on to bar codes. let‘s talk now to a thomas cook customer who is in fuerteventura, in the canary islands. sam emerton booked his hotel through thomas cook, but not his flights, meaning his trip is not atol protected and he‘s already had to pay out more money. sam, tell us about your situation. we also have martinjames here in the studio. we have got a package holiday through thomas cook and the flights we re through thomas cook and the flights were pa rt of
8:17 am
through thomas cook and the flights were part of that package so we haven‘t got the atol protection. we got on our flight about quarter to six, we landed in fuerteventura and found out that thomas cook had gone bust so we were greeted by one thomas cook rep who told us there we re thomas cook rep who told us there were no transfers to the hotel and they wouldn‘t take us unless we paid they wouldn‘t take us unless we paid the whole bill. we had to get a taxi there and had to pay 1200 euros. and you have already paid for the hotel? we have been paying monthly from march to august for the whole package. and have you already had to pay out more money or are you negotiating? we've had to pay for one night and the caa have said if
8:18 am
we paid for one night they should hopefully be able to get it sorted by today. we are still waiting to hear back whether they have done that or whether we will have to pay for the holiday and claim it when we get back. martin, we spoke to the caa here and it is clear that people really shouldn‘t be having to do this, should they? this is a really worrying thing for me because i thought this was going to be quite an isolated incident but i have heard a lot from people in various places abroad who have lost transfers. just to reassure people that shouldn't be paying any more money to the hotel. the civil aviation authority said they will contact the hotels and make sure they are paid. but that is intimidating particularly if you're travelling with a family or you are alone, it is hard to know what the rules are. when you spoke to the hotel, have they had communication from the caa? have they received those communications? they are
8:19 am
saying that their hq in barcelona receive communication from them but they are hq are saying they will only accept money from the customer. when we have spoken to the caa we have put the phone physically to the manager and had the manager speak to them and it has been the same situation. "we understand but we‘ve been told this." we just have to accept it. it appears that some and the caa have done all the right things but they are still faced with someone telling them to pay up or go elsewhere. in the last 24 hours it is apparent that most hotels are toeing the line but some are still digging their heels in. it is important that the caa can e—mail the hotels directly. they have got through to the home company. may become permission through from the caa will help. it is worth speaking
8:20 am
to the embassy if you feel intimidated but ultimately this is the kind of thing that kills your holiday, really spoils it, and there is no perfect situation. in a worst—case scenario, if sam feels forced or compelled to pay out, i would say pay on a credit card, the hotel can't get double jeopardy money, it can't be paid twice, so on the off chance when they get the money through, he should be able to claim that back, may be from the ca rd claim that back, may be from the card company, may be from the caa. that sounds like the worst possible, because he is still paying money when he is already paid for it. because he is still paying money when he is already paid for itm pains me to give that advice but i'm concerned whether people feel nervous or intimidated. sam, best of luck to you, i hope you gets to enjoy at least some of your holiday. yes, keep in touch with any stories
8:21 am
you have about family or friends caught up in any of those situations. here‘s carol with a look at this morning‘s weather. this is a lovely picture of fort william. some heavy downpours for the rest of the country. later as the rain clears, more of us will see some sunshine. a lot of rain moving from the west to the east overnight and now we have more rain coming in from the south—west and wales pushing east. it is heavy as well and has led to some localised flooding. a lot of surface water and spray on the roads so take care travelling. that will move into scotland. then the next system comes our way introducing strengthening winds, more cloud and rain. there
8:22 am
goes that band of rain and another one is crossing scotland, fragmenting into the northern isles. 0ne fragmenting into the northern isles. one or two showers elsewhere. heavy rain moving across northern england pushing into southern scotland. a few showers in northern ireland this morning but it will brighten up with some sunshine. a lot of sunshine behind the rain. temperatures rise and we see some showers sparked, some are heavy and thundery. then later, the next system moves into the south—west and wales with thicker cloud, rain and strengthening winds. temperatures down a notch or two. this evening and overnight, the rain continues out of northern england, across scotland, starting to break up. rain coming in across south—west england and wales in the afternoon. blustery winds. in between the bands of rain,
8:23 am
drier conditions, a lot of cloud, mist and fog patches forming, some of which will be dense, across northern ireland particularly. tomorrow, we say goodbye to reign in the south—west and then it will brighten up with some sunshine but also one or two showers which could be heavy and thundery. scotland, a largely cloudy day tomorrow with some showers. northern ireland, after that bright start, we have cloud thickening and then we will see some rain coming in. if we pick up see some rain coming in. if we pick up the rain coming into northern ireland through wednesday night into thursday, it pushes across the uk and behind it during thursday we see sunny skies develop, a blustery day, some showers around coming from the west and some of those will merge to give longer spells of rain. by the end of thursday we have another system coming in across northern ireland. during the course of thursday night into friday it will
8:24 am
push eastwards. on friday, a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers, some showers merging into longer spells of rain, and temperatures 12—18. certainly u nsettled temperatures 12—18. certainly unsettled for the next few days. after bursting on to the scene in her mid—20s with a number one single, singer—songwriter anne—marie knows that music has the power to change people‘s lives. so when she was given the chance to join a music therapy session for people with disabilities, she was eager tojoin in. it‘s part of the build up to the bbc‘s music day later this week, and breakfast‘s tim muffett went along too. i‘m bipolar, and i have post—traumatic stress disorder, but it all disappears here. # because we make music together #.
8:25 am
# and i love it so much #. music‘s a soundtrack to my life, and i‘m so very, very grateful that i was introduced to this place. this place is the south london weekly music therapy session, run by music charity nordoff—robbins. the experience of making music, we‘re trying to make that experience accessible to the widest number of people. # mama mia... # here i go again...# people here are able to show talents and express parts of themselves that often even those nearest and dearest to them, their carers and theirfamilies, didn‘t know. and today, there is a special guest. and anne—marie is here! # welcome to you!# # if you're giving herall
8:26 am
of your money and time # i'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, # yeah, you #. anne—marie‘s songs have been streamed more than 5 billion times. # ciao adios, i'm done #. you get kind of wrapped up in the business side of it and you're always thinking about what's next, what's next, what's next? and you forget about the beauty of what music does the people. and it really homes in why i started music in the first place. when i was younger, i needed music, because i was in school and i didn't really like school. i had music to come home to and ijust felt like you don't really realise the impact it has on people, so it's quite emotional. this opportunity for people of different abilities to come together and unite them for once, i like that very much. it‘s very empowering. there are people whose role in life is altered by the fact
8:27 am
that they have experienced themselves in this musical situation. it‘s nice, yeah, it‘s nice, yeah. it's very, very important for anna. the highlight of the week. ravena basically, she is autistic, and the only way she can express herself is through music. the power of music in its purest form. tim muffett, bbc news. it is true that sometimes music has a way of cutting through other things. and we have a special performance from craig time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. some pretty atrocious conditions out there this morning,
8:28 am
