good morning. welcome to breakfast, with ben thompson and babita sharma. our headlines today: conservatives open their party conference with a promise to get brexit done, amid suggestions the opposition could try to bring the government down within days. there is also an announcement on hospital spending, with the prime minister pledging the biggest building programme in a generation. parents are urged to have conversations with their children about organ donation, in the face of concern about the lack of transplants for young people. good morning. in sport: the sixth—fastest man of all time, usa's christian coleman, storms to 100m gold at the world athletics championships in doha.

and crunch time for wales, as they take australia at the rugby world cup. hello, good morning. nota particularly cheery picture behind me, and that is the way of it across england and wales this morning. it is pretty wet and windy fair for many. something a little bit better for scotland and northern ireland. i will have all the details for you in just a few minutes. it is sunday 29 september. our top story: the conservative party conference opens later with a promise to get brexit done. there is also a big announcement on health spending. but the gathering in manchester is taking place amid suggestions the opposition parties could try to bring the government down in the coming days. here is our political correspondent chris mason. and just a warning — his report does contain flashing images. you are not fit... borisjohnson arrived here last

night with his girlfriend, carrie symonds, after a somewhat bumpy week. are you losing control, prime minister? so what is the plan? the first rule of party conferences. take a look at the banners to see what the party hopes to be talking about. the conservative plan for the next few daysis conservative plan for the next few days is to try to talk directly to the electorate. yes, about brexit, but also about other policy areas like schools and hospitals, and to portray parliament, still meeting 200 miles south at westminster, as a pointless talking shop. but boris johnson knows that, yes, he is in office, but he is not in control of events. nonetheless, there will be an attempt to talk big about the future, mistjohnson telling the sunday telegraph this morning as he plans the biggest hospital building programme as it —— in a generation. the government wants to get a brexit deal, but is running out of time. we can expect the prime minister to talk to european leaders this week to try to shuffle things along. and

eve ryo ne to try to shuffle things along. and everyone here will be keeping at least one eye on parliament, where the opposition parties may, just may be tempted to try to make life awkward for the tories by holding their mps back for votes. our political correspondent jonathan blakejoins us now. jonathan, there are a number of health pledges being announced. will these be enough to distract from the big issue of delivering brexit by the end of next month? well, the conservatives are very happy, actually, to talk about brexit and their domestic agenda in the coming days, because we will hear a lot from the prime minister and others about how the tories are the only party that can, as they put it in their conference slogan, get exit done. we will hear them describe parliament as a talking shop and the other opposition parties as being accused of dither and delay, and the conservatives

will have a big push in delivering on the result of the referendum in 2016. we will see the prime minister speaking to other european leaders, as well, as the brexit negotiations themselves we are told will intensify over the next few days. yes, there will be something of a blizzard of policy announcements, i think. we have heard a lot about health today as the conservatives try to push their domestic agenda as well. it will look, sound and feel like the party is preparing for an election, because they are. many will wonder what is the point in all this headline announcements about domestic policy, when they may not be in government to enact these in a week's time? yes, there is a very unusual backdrop to this conference, which is parliament sitting back in westminster and continuing as normal, whereas normally there would bea normal, whereas normally there would be a parliamentary recess, but after the suspension of parliament was ruled unlawful, mps declined to give parliament the time off to attend a conference so the mps will have an eye on what is going on back on parliament, opposition parties talking up the prospect of a vote of no—confidence in the government in

the coming week. i would sound a note of caution about that, because even though the scottish national party are banging the drum for it, jeremy corbyn saying it is getting more and more likely by the day, although they agree on getting boris johnson out of office and getting an ideal brexit, they —— getting a brexit deal, they can't agree on how to do that. isn't the when you are away from base camp that things can happen? talking about borisjohnson coming up here to manchester, being away from the headquarters, if you like, the vote of no—confidence, i mean, how much of the movement is that gathering now, do you think? well, it is certainly more likely thanit well, it is certainly more likely than it has ever been. but as i say, you have to remember that the opposition parties are not speaking with one voice. you have labour who have their own brexit policy, the scottish national party have a different one, the liberal democrats wa nt different one, the liberal democrats want the people's vote. so although they are united in trying to get rid of borisjohnson they are united in trying to get rid of boris johnson and they are united in trying to get rid of borisjohnson and they do want a general election, they frankly don't trust him to not engineer the timing

of that election to allow brexit to happen in the meantime. but there is also the fact that the legislation they have pushed through forcing the government two prime minister to ask for a brexit extension if he can't get a deal could be got around somehow by the government so they are looking for a way to avoid that as well. if this motive no—confidence goes through, when will that be? who knows? they want the government to think it could happen at any time but i would be surprised if we saw it this week, purely for the reasons the parties can't quite agree on what they would do if they won that vote of no—confidence. do if they won that vote of no-confidence. more from jonathan a little later, ahead of a busy week as far as that tory party conference is concerned. parents should include children in conversations about organ donation, according to the body that co—ordinates the process in the uk. nhs blood and transplant are making the plea as 42 children in need of a heart have died waiting for a transplant over the past five years.

our reporter geraint thomas has been following the story of lilly, who had a double transplant at the age of 11. my my name is lilly kendall. i am 11 yea rs old my name is lilly kendall. i am 11 years old and i am waiting for a heart and lung double transplant.- one stage it looked likely lilly wouldn't even reach the age of 11. she spent herfirst wouldn't even reach the age of 11. she spent her first three months in hospital with heart complications. medics advised her family to switch off her life—support machine. they managed to control her condition for nine years, but then she needed a lung and heart transplant. fewer than five children across the uk we re than five children across the uk were on the double transplant waiting list at the time. hearts and lungs in particular need to be matched by sires, so lilly was relying on a child organ donor. we have had a lot of difficult conversations, talking about funerals, what she would like. this

is my daughter's life. this will change her life, and give me my daughter back. a week after we filmed with lilly, she got the call. she was taken to great ormond street hospital, where the double translate operation took over seven hours to complete. these were lilly's first breaths with her new lungs. complete. these were lilly's first breaths with her new lungslj complete. these were lilly's first breaths with her new lungs. i feel very amazing, very happy. i didn't think i would survive without these new heart and lungs. getting more donors to help patients like lilly is the challenge. children can sign the organ donor register, and if they are competent to make that decision, and that should be given the same weight as if an adult had signed it. but obviously their final decision, as with adults, is with families, and therefore we need families, and therefore we need families to talk together about what those wishes are. hong kong is braced for more protests after a night of violent clashes following weeks of pro—democracy unrest in the city.

petrol bombs were fired at police and water cannons were used in response. the protestors are angry about what they see as chinese interference in hong kong. there are more than 20 flood warnings in place across england, and two for wales, after heavy rain caused travel disruption for parts of the uk. persistent downpours led to localised flooding and difficult driving conditions in parts of north—east scotland. elsewhere, a mudslide forced rail services in lancashire to be cancelled. the duchess of sussex has visited the site where a teenager was raped and murdered in south africa, in a case that sparked outrage across the country. she paid tribute to 19—year—old university of cape town student innene mrwetyana at the post office where she was beaten to death last month. the duchess said she did it to show solidarity with those who have taken a stand, against gender—based violence. last night there was a good old hoedown on the strictly

dancefloor when our very own mike bushell and professional partner katya jones donned cowboy and cowgirl outfits for the american smooth. this is normalfor mike, isn't it? monday morning at the office. they were dancing to rhinestone cowboy, and they certaintly went all—out. but it all became a little tense when mike appeared to almost drop katya during one of the lifts. judge motsi mabuse joked that kayta had a lot of trust in mike. she nearly ended up on her head. do you know, he didn't drop her, though. he did all right on the leaderboard. he did all right on the night. we will take a look at how he continues. we love him, don't we? as a youth climate movement led by the activist greta thunberg sweeps the globe, the issue of america's use of fossil fuels looks set to be a battleground topic in next year's us presidential election. but, in some trump—supporting

states, the interests of the coal industry and concerns about climate change have already come head—to—head, as our correspondent james cook reports. it was the day the uk voted to leave the european union, but nobody cared about that in white sulphur springs. they were fighting to survive the worst flood anybody here could remember. 23 people did not. three yea rs remember. 23 people did not. three years on, the creek is silent, but the horror remains. my wife was in... belinda scott was found clinging to this tree, badly burned. her husband, ronnie, had been scrambling to rescue herfrom her husband, ronnie, had been scrambling to rescue her from their home when the house exploded. scrambling to rescue her from their home when the house explodedlj scrambling to rescue her from their home when the house exploded. i got stuck in mud. i was praying to god.

and my wife ended up at the burn centre... it was really nasty. i ended up on the floor, crying. so we are headed up to a couple of our research plots, where we have induced an artificial drought experiment... this scientist says the trees have a tale to tell. longer droughts and more intense storms, driven by climate change. they seem to be occurring more frequently, and the magnitude or the size of those storms appear to be greater. but the critical thing to understand is that the entire system asa understand is that the entire system as a whole is becoming more variable. we saw that most notably, i think, variable. we saw that most notably, ithink, in variable. we saw that most notably, i think, in 2016 with those catastrophic floods. yes, the 2016 flood in the valley was absolutely catastrophic. and incidentally we have had very large storms almost

every year since 2016 as well. and so every year since 2016 as well. and so students are taking action, protesting outside university, even in coleridge west virginia. just like we had acid in here, we are increasing the acid level in this vial right here. nasa funds olivia young to demonstrate climate science in schools. most of the time i talk to little kids and so sometimes i will get questions about, oh, but my mummy and daddy said this. i don't try to step on parents' toes. i try really ha rd not try to step on parents' toes. i try really hard not to do that. with the older students, we do try to engage more in active conversation. but some coalminers are scornful. you have to have consistent, reliable electric power. that doesn't come from windmills, doesn't come from solar panels, doesn't come from pixie dust, doesn't come from unicorns and doesn't come from well—wishers. that comes from fossil fuel. so president trump has been a relief to us, he has been a breath

of fresh air. we think he shares our values. there is not much evidence ofa values. there is not much evidence of a cold boom under mr trump, but the fuel still holds a strong pull. cole runs through the state in more ways than one. for many west virginians, for many years, it has put bread on the table. but it has also been part and parcel of their family identity. even here, though, deepin family identity. even here, though, deep in cold country, that may now be changing. and for ronnie, the issueis be changing. and for ronnie, the issue is as personal as his grief.|j wa nt to issue is as personal as his grief.|j want to thank y'all. thank you. i wa nt to want to thank y'all. thank you. i want to know what we're to do about this global warming. it is terrible. i think people need to change. this global warming. it is terrible. i think people need to changem this global warming. it is terrible. i think people need to change. it is a powerful plea. now it's time to check in on what the weather is doing. phil has all

the weather is doing. phil has all the details, and it was a bit damp getting into work this morning. it isa getting into work this morning. it is a bit miserable, good morning. today, yes, red and windy for a good pa rt today, yes, red and windy for a good part of england and wales. there will be sunshine eventually but you will be sunshine eventually but you will have to hang onto a for it. some spots, well, sunny bridge, wales, a0 millimetres in the last few hours. over 150 by way of flood alerts. the rain eventually pulls away from the south—west and parts of wales. brighter skies here. noticed how the rain is with you for the greater part of the day. you can see another 20 or 30 millimetres here. the best of the story,

northern ireland, scotland, showers across northern and western parts. there are warnings out and notice as the low pressure tries to take the rain away from the east are we still have a squeeze on those isobars. you could be looking at gust up to 50 mph and it is a north—westerly wind and it might have consequences for high tides early in the evening. the cooler night as the skies begin to clear. is that the end of the story? 0f clear. is that the end of the story? of course not. a little ridge of high pressure, much of it going through overnight. some hanging on for monday which will be a cool, bright, fresh start for many of us. the northerly really tempering the day. here is the next belt of wind and rain building into the south—western quarter of the british isles, a bit of a rerun of what we

have just had. isles, a bit of a rerun of what we havejust had. and isles, a bit of a rerun of what we have just had. and you notice the temperature is beginning to slide away. this is tuesday. that is monday's rain still taking an age to get away from the second half of the british isles. scotland and northern ireland are top of the day, nine degrees. the shape of things to come. it is goodbye to the persistent rain, that is a relief. look at this. this is a real first shot of something much, much cooler than we probably haven't seen so far this autumn but look how those lose elbow aside mild air that we have enjoyed of late so we are swapping the cloud and wind and rain for the other face of autumn. it is a much colder, fresher start to the day. nighttime temperatures are one or two degrees across the north of britain and as you can see, even by day, it probably means that many of us are day, it probably means that many of us are struggling to get to double figures.

we arejust to we are just to the blue bit. this we arejust to the blue bit. this is not fair. why are we just the blue bit on your map. because it is late in september. i know it is an ever—changing world but one thing you can rely on is bbc weather. you are on form this morning, phil. more from you later. it is all about the wind, he says. we won't complain anymore. it's time now for the film review, with mark kermode and ben brown. hello there. welcome to the film review here on bbc news. taking us through this week's releases we have got mark kermode. we have actually got some quite interesting movies. a very interesting week, we have ready or not which is a highly regarded comedy horror. we have the goldfinch, an adaptation of a much loved book. and skin, jamie bell

as a tattooed white supremacist. ready or not, i saw, i haven't seen the film but i have seen the trailer, and i feel like i've seen the film! here is the thing, a fairly straightforward set—up, so samara weaving is this bride who is going to marry alex who is from a very, very posh family, a dynasty, or as he calls it, a dominion. they are called the le domas clan. she gets in there, she discovers that they are all strange and weird and creepy, but andie macdowell says it's fine, they'll all be fine. and then her husband says, "now, there is one thing, a family tradition. at 12 o'clock, we have to play a game. you have to choose a game, and it will all be fine, it is just a family tradition. but we have to do it." at 12 o'clock, she chooses the game, she chooses hide and seek, and then she discovers that when the family play hide and seek, they play to keep.

here's a clip. ijust came to get a drink. i have to call the others. no, you don't. no, you can help me. please. this doesn't end well for you. ijust don't want to be the one to serve you up. daniel, i'm begging you. i'm really sorry about all this. it's true what they say — that the rich really are different. i'll give you a ten—second head start. daniel... and it is described as a horror comedy, or a comedy horror? is it scary and is it funny? yes. and the best thing about it is, i mean, you laughed after that line when he says that the rich

really are different, and that is a theme that has run through a lot of kind of satirical horror. there is a film directed by brian yuzna called society which starts off like a kind of preppy satire, and then turns into this really sgrungy, strange, mind—bending, almost alien thing. in the case of this, it has got a very good setup, she goes to the family, they are weird, they play this game, it turns out to be deadly. so there's a little bit of the purge about it. but, tonally, the film it's close to is sam raimi's original evil dead. which are for a long time was thought of as a video nasty, but is actually a comedy film. sam raimi himself said it's a three stooges movie which just happens to have blood and guts instead of custard pies. and in the case of this, what i really liked about it that it cracks along at a pace. quite often a comedy horror has a good setup, and then it will flag in the second or third act. when you get to the end, you think it is running its course. this actually accelerates in pace, and in the final act, in the cinema that i was in, i heard as much laughing and as much

grimacing, that kind of response, as i have heard in any decent comedy horror recently. i thought it was really well done, it is really good fun, it doesn't outstay its welcome, there is not an inch of fat on it, and if you like comedy and you like horror, you will like this. there was one line where somebody says, "oh, geez, you shot the maid!" and that shouldn't be funny, but it kind of is. it is, it is a ghoulish black comedy. but it's played very well. all right. the goldfinch, which is a very chunky book by donna tartt. you've read the book, right? yeah. did you like the book? i did, i didn't love it, but the secret history, which she also did, was amazing. i thought it was good. but apparently the film is too loyal to the book. well, i don't know, because the weird thing is, i haven't read the book. when i was watching the film, which is a story about a young man who has a terrible tragedy in his past which he blames himself for, he is obsessed with the loss of his mother and also with the titular painting. i'm sure the book is about many, many things.

the film it just felt like, on the one hand, everything was very rushed, on the other hand, everything was really slow. and ijust wanted it to stop and to finish, because it felt like 2.5 hours of thinking, "i'm trying to condense something which is actually quite weighty and profound into a movie which cannot bear the weight of it." this is the worst thing about it, and no—one has said this about the book. it's actually quite boring as a film. which, considering the amount of intrigue and interweaving plot, the paintings here, the paintings there, this person is this, double—crossing, and grief and love and all of that sort of stuff. and some great performers, ansel elgort, who i like very much, written by peter straughan who co—wrote tinker, tailor, directed by the guy who gave us brooklyn. i mean, it has a great pedigree. and yet you watch it... nicole kidman, and you ask, why none of this is working? i think there are one of two answers — either that it is genuinely an unfilmable book, and i don't know because i haven't read it, or more likely, it's just not a very good film. and i think the honest truth of it is it's just not a very good film. well, when you said you couldn't wait for it to finish, i think we got the hint. that's always a giveaway. always a giveaway! right, then we have skin, which is jamie bell,

who we last saw in rocketman. the unbelievably versatile jamie bell. you see him in three or four movies with completely different roles. this is based on the real—life story of a tattooed white supremacist who was the subject of a documentary in 2011 called erasing hate, and the title refers to the tattoos, the racist insignia that he has all over his face and his body. so jamie bell is the central character, he has been brought up as part of a neo—nazi family led by this very creepy mother and father. but when he decides that he wanted to go his own way, he wants to break out and wants to form his own family, they at first accuse him of betrayal, and secondly, follow him. here's a clip. you're still breathing because i own you. and every inch of ink on you.

the only way anyone else gets access to your trophies is if i ex them out myself. heart rate accelerates. so who is it? feds? jenkins? splc? what did you give them, son? so the interesting thing about it is that you see the film, the perspective of that central character, who is a white supremacist with all of these tattoos all over his face. and it reminded me to some extent, there is a film called romper stomper, an antipodean movie from the 90s that actually made a star of russell crowe. which also saw the film from the perspective of a racist skinhead. and the central message of the film is that nobody is beyond redemption. it's about the idea that people fall

into that kind of hatred because something within them is broken. so at the very beginning of the film, you see him involved in hideous activities. and then the film itself still retains a sort of sympathetic edge towards the idea that actually, there is a reason why he has fallen into all of this stuff. i mean, jamie bell is brilliant, and very few performers, ithink, could have carried off the part. it is a risky role to play it, and i think he does it very well. the film is also made with a great deal of sincerity, and a great deal of conviction. and it is tough viewing sometimes. it has a very interesting musical score and a very interesting soundtrack. but what i liked about it was it isn't a film which sees things in simple yes—no terms. it is absolutely about the idea that you have to look beneath the skin to see the causes of this kind of thing. and actually, i thought the drama played out rather well. it is well done. it's not scared to be confrontational, and it doesn't shy away from showing just how vicious the stuff that he has been involved in is. do you empathise with him at the end? i think by the end of the film, what you understand if the central

message of the film, that people fall into these kind of extremist views because of something that is broken in them. and it's about understanding that, that this doesn't happen, that they are preyed upon by people preying upon the weak and the broken and people who have problems that actually can be dealt with. 0k. best out? well, i really, really like the farewell. this is a drama from lulu wang, with a great performance by awkwafi na. she discovers that her grandmother is terminally ill, but nobody will tell the grandmother. and so there's this family gathering in which everybody knows the grandmother is terminally ill except the grandmother. and it's beautifully sort of bittersweet, it's very tender, it's very funny. despite the fact that it's often very, very sad, it has a great musical score. a terrific performance. and i went in really not knowing much about it at all. and you know there is a particular joy when you see a film that completely catches you off—guard. you only see the title

and a couple of things. i mean, i hadn't seen the poster, which has got all of these kind of fantastic reviews on it. the best way to see a movie! it really is. there is a realjoy in seeing something, in a way, i've probably spoiled that already, but believe me, if you want something different, something that has got a real heart and soul and will make you laugh and cry, and when you come out you will ring or hug your family, that is the farewell. and best dvd? so dvd and blu—ray, the shining extended cut. you know that stanley kubrick sort of famously fiddled around with a lot of his films. there is a longer version of the shining which hadn't been released theatrically before in the uk until i think four orfive months ago. wow. it's now available on dvd and blu—ray. i think everybody knows a version of the shining. and i'm not entirely sure that the extended version is better than the original. how much extended is it? it's not hugely. there are some key... i mean, the way that people always refer to it is you know you are watching the extended cut because there's a bunch of skeletons sitting in armchairs. and it is possible to watch the extended cut and think,

i'm not entirely sure... there were some additional scenes put in which were taken out by stanley kubrick as he tightened it up. but i think the shining itself still holds up. everybody talks about jack nicholson, shelley duvall is the real genius in that film. because her performance is so raw and so ragged, if you look at what any of the on—set making of footage, that performance was really tough for her. i mean, she had a very, very tough time on set. and she is brilliant. jack nicholson, yes, but shelley duvall is the hero of that film. yeah, it is a classic which i love but i'm not sure i want to see it again! mark, thank you very much. go see ready or not. it has got more laughs. i will, definitely. i fancy that. ok, that is it for this week. thank you so much for watching. good bye. hello, this is breakfast, with ben thompson and babita sharma. good morning. here is a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: the conservatives open their conference in manchester today

with a commitment to get brexit done, and also to invest in the nhs, schools and the police. borisjohnson has announced what he called the biggest programme of hospital building in england in a generation. the tories are meeting amid suggestions that opposition parties could try to bring down the government in the coming days. parents should include children in conversations about organ donation — that's according to the organisation that oversees transplants in the uk. nhs blood and transplant says more than a0 children died over the past five years while waiting for a heart to become available, with young patients waiting on average more than 2.5 times longer than adults for similar transplants. hong kong is braced for more protests after a night of violent clashes following weeks of pro—democracy unrest in the city. petrol bombs were fired at police and water cannons were used in response.

the protestors are angry about what they see as chinese interference in hong kong. there are more than 20 flood warnings in place across england, and two for wales, after heavy rain caused travel disruption for parts of the uk. persistent downpours led to localised flooding and difficult driving conditions in parts of north—east scotland. elsewhere, a mudslide forced rail services in lancashire to be cancelled. the duchess of sussex has visited the site where a teenager was raped and murdered in south africa, in a case that sparked outrage across the country. she paid tribute to 19—year—old university of cape town student, innene mrwetyana at the post office where she was beaten to death last month. the duchess said she did it to show solidarity, with those who have taken a stand, against gender—based violence. and it is all about the rugby world cup. only one place to start, the

rugby world cup, a massive game for wales against australia to decide if finishes top of the pool, which means an easier route to the final. some titanic battles in recent yea rs. wales got some titanic battles in recent years. wales got the better of them in november but before that the aussies had won the previous 13 matches. so there is a little over a couple of hours to go before wales kick off againts australia in tokyo. warren gatland's side had a bonus—point win against georgia in their opening match. but of course this will be much tougher, as katie gornall reports. in the shadow of tokyo's skyline, wales are standing tall. a convincing win in their opening game has got them off and running at this world cup. but now, the intensity is set to rise. a heavyweight clash with australia... we perform when big games come around. this is the biggest test we have in front of us. there has been a few guys frustrated with selection, which is a good thing. that breeds competitiveness

within the squad, so there was a bit of red stuff flowing yesterday, which was all well meant because it was for the betterment of the team. blood, sweat and tears is nothing out of the ordinary for alun wyn jones, who will become his country's most capped player when he leads them out against the wallabies. he is part of an unchanged side since their six—try victory over georgia, as wales keep faith with the team that went on the attack. australia needed all their strength to come through a bruising encounter against fiji, and while many have the two—times champions as underdogs for a match that should decide the pool, one former world cup winner expects them to rise to the challenge. they look really, really fit, like running fitness. they're not kicking the ball too much. maybe they have to adjust that throughout this tournament, but the ability to play and hang onto the ball creates a lot of pressure. they are the grand slam champions. wales are the "nearly" men of the world cup. now would be the perfect time to prove they're the team for the big occasion. the usa's christian coleman has won the 100 metres

at the world athletics championships in doha. he clocked a time of 9.76 seconds, with fellow american justin gatlin claiming the silver medal. coleman avoided a ban earlier this year for missing three doping tests. canada's andre de grasse took bronze, and great britain's only man in the final, zharnel hughes, finished sixth. those things happen, unfortunately. you just have to be strong—minded, and refocus and come again, and that's what i'm going to do. i'm disappointed, but hey, i can't give up on myself. i still have the 200m to go. dina asher—smith will bid to become world champion for the first time today. she eased through her heat in the 100 metres. no british woman has ever even qualified for the final at the worlds before. an average day — that's how jurgen klopp described his saturday, despite liverpool beating sheffield united to stay top of the premier league. they are five points clear of manchester city after they beat everton. two goalkeepers stole the headlines, though, and not for the right

reasons, as austin halewood explains. the new season still isn't two months old, but already these two look to be in a league of their own. for liverpool, six wins from six was a reason to smile. they have been the team to catch so far, but on a cold, wet saturday in the steel city, it can be hard to get into gear, the reds struggling to reach sheffield united's defence. in sports, you often have to make your own luck, but at brammall lane, dean henderson made it for liverpool. and henderson made it for liverpool. and henderson has let it go through. they say the mark of a good side is winning when you don't play well. maybe this really could be liveable's year. it was never easy to do. we needed everybody for defending, we needed nearly everybody for attacking, and in the end we scored a lucky goal. we know that, but the boys worked so hard for it. closer to home, on a murky merseyside, manchester city were trying to keep up with the pace, eight points adrift at one stage,

jesus started their leap up the table. but any city fan will tell you teams from these parts are hard to shake. dominic levelling things after the break. but when it comes to this city team, no matter how far out, you just can't give them an opportunity. it is superb from mahrez. sterling added a third, and with that, the gap was back to five. job done. if you thought you had seen job done. if you thought you had seen the worst haller of the day, think again. tottenham were one goal up, when hugo did this. what an absolute howler. this alljust four days after spurs were knocked out of the league cup by colchester. luckily, they have kane. he may have the full backing of the fans, but across london, frank lampard needed across london, frank lampard needed a win. his young team have thrilled and spilt this season, but in the end, they looked to an older

statesman. willian with the winner. there are not many feelings better than that first came back in the league. scottish premiership leaders celtic dropped points for the first time this season after they were held to a 1—1 draw at hibernian. hibs had gone ahead in the eighth minute, but celtic‘s equaliser caused fury in the hibs dugout. manager paul heckingbottom kicked a water bottle in frustration, which hit the assistant referee and led to him being sent off. second—placed rangers thrashed aberdeen 5—0. there were also wins for hamilton and motherwell. manchester united's women record their first win in the top flight. 17—year—old laurenjames scored in their 2—0 victory over liverpool in the wsl. the fa were subsequently made aware of chants during the game which liverpool claim relate to the hillsborough disaster. he is yet to complete two seasons in formula one, but charles leclerc continues to show his promise. the 21—year—old from monaco will be on pole for a fourth race in a row at today's russian grand prix. leclerc was almost half a second

quicker than championship leader lewis hamilton and team mate sebastian vettel in qualifying. annamiek van vleuten won the elite women's road race at the world championships in yorkshire. the dutch cyclist broke away from the rest of the field with 65 miles to go to the finish in harrogate, and held on to win. britain's lizzie deignan, who grew up in the local area, could only finish 31st. it was just it wasjust phenomenal. it was just phenomenal. i'm just so grateful for this opportunity. like, what a privilege in my career to experience a home world championships. thank you to everyone that came out and supported, because they may the event what it was, and it will be a race never forget. she is quite a competitor, she crashed badly in rio, and she is clearly back to her best. and in the rugby world cup, lots happening. wales versus australia, the big one. what time is that? 8:45am. but the whole

competition has been lit up by the victory over northern ireland. what a performance. the japanesejust tore into the irish, attacked from everywhere. still have to get our head around that time difference, don't we? it is tricky, all morning matches, but with japan doing well, with the home nations building up nicely, scotland with work to do. and the japanese fans are loving it on home turf. i lived in japan briefly, and i knew they would get behind the whole thing. you could see that yesterday. more from richard a little later. having a conversation with your child about organ donation isn't easy but parents are being encouraged to talk about the issue early on. that's because children wait on average more than 2.5 times longer than adults for similar transplants. our reporter geraint thomas has been following the story of a lilly who had a double transplant

at the age of 11. my name is lilly kendall. i am 11 years old, and i am waiting for a heart and lung double transplant. at one stage, it looked likely lilly wouldn't even reach the age of 11. she spent herfirst three months in hospital with heart complications. medics advised her family to switch off her life—support machine. they managed to control her condition for nine years, but then she needed a lung and heart transplant. fewer than five children across the uk were on the double transplant waiting list at the time. we've had a lot of difficult conversations, talking about herfunerals, what she'd like. this is my daughter's life. this will change her life, and give me my daughter back. a week after we filmed with lilly, she got the call. she was taken to great ormond street hospital, where the double translate operation took over seven hours to complete. these were lilly's first breaths with her new lungs. i feel very amazing, very happy.

i didn't think i would survive without these new heart and lungs. anthony clarkson, the nhs director of organ donation and transplantation, joins us now. good morning. it is a sensitive subject for many parents to broach, this. how difficult has it been, in your experience, getting parents on board to even have the conversation in the first place? it is a very difficult subject, no—one wants to think about children dying or their own children dying. so we're saying families should discuss organ donation generally and get the views out. children are very matter—of—fact about organ donation. they often hear about it at school and they often just see it for what it is. it is helping save a life,

and they don't put any prejudice on it orany and they don't put any prejudice on it or any superstition. it is just simply, when you have died, you can donate to save another child. and from the parents' point of view, having that conversation, initiating that conversation, what advice do you have for parents who might be watching this and thinking about how doi watching this and thinking about how do i even bring this subject up? there's a lot in the media and stories on the news at the moment about organ donation. so we often say to them just on the back of that, have that conversation, it is generally about organ donation. have they heard about it and do their children know what it is? and if they do, what do they think about it? as i say, we often find that children are very straightforward. they support organ donation. it is often the parents that find it a really difficult subject to bring up. what other problems you are facing on the nhs with organ donation for children? how severe is the problem? the problem is for children, especially for heart and lungs, they need to be the same size as who they are going into, so an aduu as who they are going into, so an adult cannot donate unless it is a very big child so we need everyone who dies to think about organ donation and for their family to think about organ donation. it is the same for children. fortunately,

very few children die in a way that they can donate organs, but that is why it is even more precious that they talk about that subject. why it is even more precious that they talk about that subjectm why it is even more precious that they talk about that subject. it is being introduced is compulsory in this country, in england, next year, in 2020. and that is for adults only, i should add. would you like to see that go a step further and haveit to see that go a step further and have it for children as well?” don't think there is a need. i think forfamilies to don't think there is a need. i think for families to have that discussion, and they will have that discussion, and they will have that discussion about organ donation, the pa rents, discussion about organ donation, the parents, as with all families, will have the discussion. that is important at the time of the donation, and getting their support, and if they have had the discussion and if they have had the discussion and the children support donation, we know that the parents are more likely to support it as well. and thatis likely to support it as well. and that is applicable whatever anyone's age, have that conversation before you need to have it, and then actually all the processes and the procedures and may be the right mindset is in place before you need to come to that decision. absolutely, and the parents will a lwa ys absolutely, and the parents will always be involved in the discussion. it is that conversation,

and the most fickle thing is not knowing what your loved one would have wanted. if they know what they wanted, they are more likely to honour that. and your badge says yes to organ donation, as well. ijust wa nt to to organ donation, as well. ijust want to say that my niece broke the subject with us as a family, organ donation, and have you all signed 7 donation, and have you all signed up? ithought donation, and have you all signed up? i thought that was fascinating because it very much goes with what you said about children being very open about having that conversation, which is great. and most of them are having the discussions at school as pa rt having the discussions at school as part of the curriculum and taking that home, it is great. it is good to see you, thanks for talking to us. and as you said, it is about that conversation. have the conversation early, before you actually need to have it.

phil told us of early for being angry about the weather to him. i dyed my hair to match the clouds, you understand. a cloudy day for much of the british isles. it is not all doom and gloom everywhere, particularly where the radar has produced a rainfall in the last few hours. it has been wet and windy across a good part of england and wales. parts of scotland starting offa wales. parts of scotland starting off a good deal drier. the rain is stuck across the borders of scotland and the far north of wales and will be for a good part of the day. further south, yes, blustery conditions to come but eventually they will move along northern ireland is bucking up quite nicely as well. underneath the cloud and rain, there is no excuse, yes, i have posted 12 degrees in the news — — n ewcastle have posted 12 degrees in the news —— newcastle area. notice the

isobars. could see gusts of 50 miles an hourorso but isobars. could see gusts of 50 miles an hour or so but eventually the rain does fall away. the skies begin to clear. it will be a cool night. in fact, a pretty cool start to the new day on monday. but at least we are seeing the other face of autumn, if you like, albeit very briefly. it isa if you like, albeit very briefly. it is a cool, fresh, sonny started the day. make the best of it. no escaping the fact that that area of cloud and wind and rain will be back in the far south—west. —— sunny. eventually up into the midlands, may be flirting with the far south—east of northern ireland. northern and eastern parts, a reasonable day, until that rain comes at you and it is with you to start the new day on tuesday. again, another combination of wet and windy fair stop flood

warnings are bound across england and wales. on tuesday, the shape of things to come, nine degrees only. still mild in the south but as the system still mild in the south but as the syste m m oves still mild in the south but as the system moves away, then we swing all of the isobars in from the north and north—west and this is the picture, the daytime picture, on wednesday, when we are all in a much cooler, fresher regime. yes, it turns brighter, it is the other face of autumn but you either get it mild, wet and windy or you get it crisp, bright and sunny but cooler and that is how we will go from wednesday on into thursday. lots going on. i haven't even mentioned lorenzo. back to you guys. we were wondering, ben to you guys. we were wondering, ben and i, what is your natural colour? if you talked about dying your hair

to match the weather. a lady wouldn't ask! a lady or a gentleman wouldn't ask! a lady or a gentleman wouldn't divulge that they'd died, anyway. i wouldn't be able to be a gentleman and an ex— naval officer. moving on! he is on form, i said earlier. it's time now for the latest technology news, in this week's edition of click.

thursday was bbc music day, an annual celebration of the power of music to change lives, with 2000 events across the uk and 100 broadcasts on tv, radio, and digital. but it's important to remember that not everyone experiences sound in the same way. for example, this week is international week of the deaf. so we met twins hermon and heroda berhane. now, they're both deaf, and although they love dancing and they love going to deaf raves, there's obviously a lot about music which they don't experience — until now. we joined them when they tried on a prototype shirt which can turn music into a whole body experience.

sound is something that's around

all of us all the time. when we identify those sounds as signifying danger, we've evolved to recognise those sounds and react to them. in the modern world, we have become ever more used to isolating ourselves from the world around us. for most people, recognising those sounds is something we do every single day, but getting devices to recognise different sounds is something that has traditionally been challenging. now, one uk—based company claims to have cracked that problem. audio analytic has developed a new technology to recognise a wide range of sounds that can then be used as a trigger for a number of different actions. now, what this technology does is it uses software—based artificial intelligence to identify and recognise everyday sounds. and it can be integrated into a number of products. i'll show you a couple of examples of how it might work. one common application is in headphones. walking down the street for example, there is an angry dog nearby.

barking. speaker: caution, there is a dog barking nearby. increasing transparency. so what it would do in that situation, it would recognise a dog barking, lower the music or cut it out altogether in your headphones and warn you there is a dog nearby. another application it would have is in smart speakers, most of us have these things around the home now, and it can be arranged to listen passively for things like a baby crying. baby crying. fundamentally, sound recognition is very different from speech recognition, and we have had to come in and solve some of those fundamental differences. baby crying sounds very different to another baby crying. there is a huge diversity from when they are six months old through to when they're two years old.

but all of that we refer to as "baby cry", so there is some commonality, and we need to teach those machines that commonality. but as we know, a! can only ever be as good as the training data it works with. so they have to capture these sounds live. naturally, we wanted to witness this first hand. and what better way to start than with a couple of very good dogs. this is an anechoic chamber, or in this case, a semi—anechoic chamber. it is designed to absorb sound. we are here to record these two beauties, hopefully barking on demand. barking. these waveforms i can see on this screen are the representations of what is coming off the microphones in there. and in the middle is the actual dog bark threshold that the system is listening for. and when it identifies them, you should hear it activate. speaker: hey monty, i can hear you barking. as it is late and you are home alone, i am going to alert your owner, turn on the lights and place onjazz, because i know how much you like it. nice.

but dogs, as good as they are, are only the beginning. the space here can be used to record anonymous range of sounds, ranging from the dramatic... siren wails. ..to the more low—key. bell rings. there is no shortcuts to this, it is literally, you have to have the data set. we have to go and collect all the data, so we have the world's largest collection of audio data, 15 million audio event files, that help us train the technology itself. and of course we couldn't leave without taking a sledgehammer to some windows. glass smashing. all in the name of technology, of course. the ziggo dome, amsterdam. performing here is the legendary sir elton john, currently on his farewell tour. but he has added a little something extra to each night and it is called

peex. it is a device that allows you to mix live music as it is being played in front of you. boost the volume of instruments, listen to nothing but elton's voice, but how does it work? # benny and thejets... first of all the music is recorded onto peex's system where it breaks down the 95 channels of audio coming from the stage into five different musical categories. those five mixes are then sent all the way here to the back of the hall and sent out again as radio waves by these transmitters. but to make sure that everyone gets a signal, five more transmitters have been permanently installed above the stage. and a tiny microphone on the device listens to what is being played on stage, so it can sync up with the mix that your device is being sent, so when you adjust the levels, it will be in real time. right, elton is about to start performing. let's see how this thing fares.

full band plays. guitar only. organ only. drums only. wow. that sounds great. the vocals are crisp, the guitar, you can really hear it, but because i am too close to the stage, i can't really distinguish what i'm hearing on stage and on here with the drums. so what i'm going to do is go to the back of the hall and see how it fares there. it works even better further back from the stage. and to listen to the mix you make, you are given normal earphones instead of noise cancelling, so you don't lose out on hearing the atmosphere too.

for people who are hard of hearing, which essentially you do have locations in the concert hall where they can come and hear, this allows them to actually be anywhere in the concert hall. peex is not for everyone. there are people who already have superior sound quality and they do not wish or need to have it improved, but there are people who want to experience concerts in a different way, so it is really allowing for everyone to opt how they want to experience the concert. and that is what we found. not everyone enjoyed using it. it is an amazing system, and i even let people next to me listen to it, but it is like, you have to be very sure of yourself to use that system as an artist. laughs. the music was very loud, you have to put that even louder, so it's going to be like... like you have nails in your ear. so, as innovative as this kit is, it may not be for you. you mayjust want to go to a concert and experience it organically. but having the option to mix your favourite artist

while they perform in front of you, this might be a new direction in live music. drums play. that's it for the short cut of this audio tech special. plenty more in the full—length version which is available now on iplayer. don't forget that throughout the week you can find us on facebook, youtube, instagram and twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching, thanks for listening, and we will see you soon. good morning. welcome to breakfast,

with ben thompson and babita sharma.
