in a statement accusing the press of bullying and destroying lives, the duke of sussex said he feared his wife was falling victim to the same powerful forces as his mother. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports from africa, where the duke and duchess are currently on a ten—day visit. it is this article in the mail on sunday earlier this year which is at the centre of the duchess‘s legal action. it quoted from a private letter she had written to his estranged father, thomas, at his home in mexico. the couple, who are in the final stages of their tour of southern africa, have now begun legal action in the duchess‘s name in the high court in london, alleging breach of privacy and copyright infringement. in a strongly worded statement, the duke has said: harry says his deepest fear is history repeating itself. he writes...

that is a remarkably outspoken statement. it is clearly a measure of how deeply the couple feel. they believe they have no option now but to take a major newspaper group to court. nicholas witchell, bbc news, johannesburg. our correspondent andy moore is outside buckingham palace for us this morning. andy, we've just heard a taste of what prince harry has had to say on this, but it's clearly very heartfelt, isn't it? yes, he says this wife has been the victim of yes, he says this wife has been the victi m of relentless yes, he says this wife has been the victim of relentless propaganda that is knowingly false and malicious. he says it is bullying, pure and simple. now, the legal company representing the couple say they

have been forced to take this action because the paper wouldn't back down oi’ because the paper wouldn't back down or apologise, so no surprise that we've got a statement last night from the daily mail, sorry, the mail on sunday. saying the mail on sunday stands by the story it published and we will be defending this case vigorously. specifically, we categorically deny that the duchess‘s letter was edited in any way that changed its meaning, that last comment in response to claims from the prince that the paper purposely misled people by leaving out entire paragraphs, sentences, and even words that didn't suit its agenda. what is the legal position? well, briefly the paper got the letter from thomas markle, meghan markle‘s father, but the copyright belongs to her. the paper will claim it is within its rights to publish excerpts, extracts, from that letter. the couple are paying for this legal action privately and any damages they get will go to the

campaign against bullying. thank you very much, andy. later we will be speaking to the royal historian and commentator kate williams. borisjohnson will reveal more details of what is being described as the government's final negotiating offer to the eu later. the prime minister is expected to tell the conservative party conference that the plan is a fair and reasonable compromise, but will warn there will be no further negotiations if the eu fails to engage with his offer. let's speak to our political correspondent iain watson. iain, what do we know about these proposals. lovely to have you on the sofa. lovely to have you on the sofam is very comfortable, as well. i think when boris johnson is very comfortable, as well. i think when borisjohnson makes his big conference speech today he will set out more of these proposals. and from what you are saying, it sounds like an uncompromising message, something which will rally the troops. either a new deal or no deal, a final offer at the eu. the

question really is is it putting forward , question really is is it putting forward, if you like, impossible demands in order for the forward, if you like, impossible demands in orderfor the eu to reject them? then he can say it is theirfault if we reject them? then he can say it is their fault if we head towards no deal. speaking to a cabinet minister last night, despite what he was saying last month, he felt we were absolutely heading towards no deal. he now feels that compromises have been made and this is a serious proposal to the eu. and we should look very carefully, actually, at boris johnson's language. although this is paraded as a take it or leave it offer, he is saying there will be no deal if the eu doesn't engage with this, he is not saying they have to accept it. it is a pass,if they have to accept it. it is a pass, if you like, into further talks, further negotiations with the eu. if you look at some of the things which have been proposed, we know he is talking about customs checks in the island of ireland. they are not keen, they have to ove i’co m e they are not keen, they have to overcome mountains of scepticism to get that any further. but also to get that any further. but also to get northern ireland more in step with eu rules for a bit longer, that may be something that appeals to the eu. although it is do or die for

borisjohnson, we should know by the end of the week whether the eu says there really is something to talk about. and i am sure you will have a busy day ahead. thank you very much. proposals for a long—awaited new law to better protect victims of domestic abuse will be debated by mps today. the bill is expected to include provisions to place a legal duty on councils to offer secure homes for those escaping violence and ban perpetrators from being able to directly cross—examine victims in court. breakfast‘s graham satchell reports. charlotte runs a refuge in southern england. it provides shelter and help for up to 11 women and 2a children at any one time. the government's domestic abuse bill comes back to the commons today after fears it would be lost when parliament was prorogued. it defines domestic abuse legally for the first time to include coercive, controlling behaviour, and

will stop alleged perpetrators cross—examining victims in court. campaigners have welcomed the bill, but say it does not go far enough. i think, for us, the most important thing missing is the guarantee of funding for refuges and other specialist services. domestic abuse murders are at a five—year high. and, really, this is something that we and other campaigners have been saying — that unless a safe refuge is provided victims of domestic abuse, then sadly, murder rates will increase. the government insists victims of domestic abuse should be able to access appropriate support at the appropriate time, and the bill is, in their words, an opportunity to stamp out this devastating crime for good. but charities say there simply isn't enough support. 60% of people referred to refuges last year were turned away. local authority funding has dropped by almost a third since 2010. charlotte's funding from her local authority is guaranteed

for the next 12 months, but after that, she says, she doesn't know. a teenager accused of throwing a boy from a viewing platform at the tate modern in london can be identified for the first time, because he has turned 18 today. jonty bravery, who is from west london, has been charged with the six—year—old's attempted murder. an application to extend the reporting restriction protecting his identity was rejected by a judge yesterday. the boy's family have said he now struggles to speak or eat. more than 150 flood alerts remain in place in england, with more rain and strong winds forecast for tomorrow. on the isle of man, a major incident was declared yesterday after flash—flooding trapped some people indoors. cars were submerged after heavy rain in leicestershire, and landslides blocked railway lines in cumbria. communities without a free—to—use cash machine will be able to request one in areas where residents find it difficult to withdraw cash. the organisation which runs the uk's atm network has set up

a £1 million fund. but businesses are warning that will pay for only 40—50 new machines, as our consumer affairs correspondent coletta smith explains. more and more of us have been tapping, beeping and using our pins to pay. card payments now outstrip cash transactions, so with fewer people using them, cash machines have been disappearing, hundreds every month. an consumer group which says the poorest areas have been seeing free machines vanish quickest. now, the biggest provider of cash machines, link, has decided to install free to access machines in some areas without them. they say it will protect the high and vulnerable customers. immunities are now going to be able to ask directly through their mp or local council

for a free to access cash machine. but link have only set aside enough money to fund about a0 or 50 machines, and that means is likely to be plenty of areas forming a long queue for the cash machine. 2.a billion withdrawals were made from cash machines last year, with nearly £200 billion worth of cash taken out. but a recent report suggests the current rate of decline means cash use could end in less than a decade. today's news will only help a handful of areas to fight that cashless tide for a while longer. we will catch up with the sport, and talking about humiliation, sally. will catch up with the sport, and talking about humiliation, sallym was a shocking night for spares. did you think it is not going to get worse? —— spurs.

you think it is not going to get worse? -- spurs. and pochettino's interviews were really interesting because he absolutely faced up to it, but you have to think what is going on in that head at the moment? we were in the champions league final. utter humiliation for spurs in the champions league. they are hammered 7—2 at home by the german champions, bayern munich. to rub salt into the wounds, a former arsenal player, serge gnabry, got four for bayern. it is the biggest european home defeat for any english side ever. headin head in hands for lots of fans last night. elsewhere, raheem sterling inspired manchester city to a 2—0 win over dinamo zagreb at the etihad. he came off the bench to score one, and set up the other for phil foden. there was disappointment for britain's adam gemili at the world athletics championships, as he narrowly missed out on a medal in the 200 metres. the american noah lyles took gold,

his first global title. and there was another impressive performance from dina asher—smith. she won her 200—metres semifinal, and made it look effortless. she will now be one of the big favourites for tonight's final in doha. she is looking good going into that race tonight. we talked to denise lewis about it yesterday and she said this is her moment. exciting stuff. will you hang around for some papers? if you would like me to. i will hang around if ben gets out of my shots. lean that way. it is very ha rd to my shots. lean that way. it is very hard to sneak into a studio when you are about nine feet tall. and the studio is about three foot wide. you have lovely shoulder pads, we could see more of it. let's take a look at today's papers.

the times leads on the duke and duchess of sussex, who are suing the mail on sunday over a claim that it unlawfully published one of her private letters. the paper says prince harry accuses the media of a "ruthless campaign against his wife". the story also features on the front page of the daily telegraph, which quotes a statement written by the duke, saying "i lost my mother and now i watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces". the paper carries a photo of borisjohnson, as he "rolls up his sleeves" to send a final brexit offer to brussels — which the papers says would see northern ireland stay partly in the single market until 2025. the sun also leads with the looming brexit deadline and suggests the prime minister has just "ten days to do a deal" as he unveils his "alternative arrangements" to the irish backstop. the guardian headline reads, "johnson's threat to the eu: accept my final brexit offer or it's no deal" as we enter, what the paper describes, as a "high—stakes fortnight". the picture is from hong kong, where a protestor was shot with live ammunition as violence escalated during those pro—democracy demonstrations yesterday.

the online uk edition of the huffington post, features a video that's been shared on social media, you might have seen it, actually, of borisjohnson being handed a coffee in a disposable cup only for it to be snatched out of his hand by his aide who says "no. disposable. cups". did she say it like that?” did she say it like that? i think she did. the website says the scene could be straight out of political comedy ‘the thick of it‘ and suggests the prime minister is probably in need of a caffeine hit after the week he's had. what are you doing with my coffee? we do do disposable cups here. can i just say, changing the subject slightly, can i just just say, changing the subject slightly, can ijust say i have admiration for the cameraman for that whole shot. he would have been

walking backwards for that whole thing. it's like it's out of west or west wing. incredible. —— it's out of er. it reminds me of the time interviewing borisjohnson. of er. it reminds me of the time interviewing boris johnson. must've been one of the toughestjobs of the day, never mind being borisjohnson. what have you got? i want to talk about thomas cook. the dust is startling to —— starting to settle. package holiday is dead, from ryanair. he's package holiday is dead, from rya nair. he's been package holiday is dead, from ryanair. he's been critical of the aviation authority granting an allowa nce to aviation authority granting an allowance to thomas cookjust a month before it went under. many

thousands of people around the world lost jobs. the thousands of people around the world lostjobs. the operation to bring people back from overseas continues. 120,000 people have been brought back so far, we are told 30,000 are still to be repatriated. it is the largest peacetime repatriation ever. we've had some wonderful stories of thomas cook staff who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to try and help passengers. there is a story in the paper this morning looking at basically what happened in one town, this is in stoke—on—trent, the original thomas cook store has closed, but staff turned up unpaid at a pop—up shop around the corner to help all of these people who were trying to work out what happens next. so, some amazing stories. and tomorrow on brea kfast, amazing stories. and tomorrow on breakfast, i'm going to a job spur at manchester airport, and what they do is bring together all the people

who used to work, the airport and people with thomas cook, trying to match them up with newjobs in the travel industry. a lot of airlines are taking on a lot of travel agencies. if you're going, let me know, i would love to talk to you in the morning. we get a sense of these people trying to get back to work. the daily telegraph has this man who used to manage liveable several yea rs used to manage liveable several years ago, it's a great interview with risk, the people who don't perhaps follow football will remember about him is that he nearly died while doing hisjob. he had a cardiac emergency while he was at the field, and the night his life was saved was just an incredible story. the club doctor took his pressure, if he hadn't done that, they wouldn't have known what was going on with his heart. they got an ambulance in quickly, liverpool was one of three rationalist heart centres, he had 11.5 hours of hard surgery, and here he is now —— specialist —— heart surgery.

surgery, and here he is now —— specialist -- heart surgery. he was very ill when it all happen. and this is an interesting story from the daily mail. a crisis at chemists and pharmacies, running out of lost of different popular medicines —— lots of, including antiepileptic drugs, antibacterial drugs, and i know we have talked about this on breakfast before, lots of different reasons they are mentioning including nhs prices, bosses are so good at haggling that more lucrative markets are being targeted. the problem is if it is a factory in china or india, it could have huge knock—on effect around the globe. interesting story there from the mail. how do you text, one farm, two times? i've seen someone on the train do it like that stop i do the

new one now. that is the quickest way. check this out, 37,000 volu nteers way. check this out, 37,000 volunteers tested, the fastest people in terms of typing are still on the traditional qwerty keyboard, they can do up to 200 words per minute, but the average on a keyboard is a0—50 words per minute even with two fingers. but the fastest people can text up to 100 words per minute with double thumbs. are you one of those people who writes just three letter word messages? i only ever got up to 90 or 95, i think. the quickest ones, unsurprisingly, are between the age of ten and 19. what is it doing to

theirthumbjoints, it of ten and 19. what is it doing to their thumb joints, it can't of ten and 19. what is it doing to their thumbjoints, it can't be good. really working it out there, very powerful technique, the thumb. it's 6:20am. yes. in a couple of minutes we will be in the isle of man, but carol is with us this morning to tell us, well, it was really a rainy day. what is happening today? good morning. we are going to be talking about hurricane the renzo, we've been talking about it the last couple of days. now it's a category two hurricane, it is going to pass by the azores, but it is still packing a punch, a swell of up to 25 metres, a punch, a swell of up to 25 metres, a wave roughly the size of an eight story building. you can see it is coming our way, but when it does it will no longer be a hurricane, it will no longer be a hurricane, it will be a deep area of low pressure.

and we have clear skies this morning, so that does mean it is a chilly start, a shock to the system, we have some patchy fog. pockets of fog in the highlands, it is going to be cooler than yesterday. if you say i was knocking around this morning coming in on the brisk wind. some of those will be wintry in nature. and in east anglia as well, we could also see the odd one in the midlands this afternoon. most of us will stay dry with fairamount this afternoon. most of us will stay dry with fair amount of cloud and sunny spells. temperatures 10— 1a degrees. do this evening and overnight we hang onto the clear skies, so it is going to be another cold night. brisk wind, rather like we are seeing today on the east coastline, but cloud building in from the west. this is the first signs of the remnants of what was hurricane the renzo. we start tomorrow on a cold note, the winds are easting —— winds are easting.

and in ireland itself where we could see some strong gusts. the wind could be picking up in south—west scotland, north—west england, wales, south—west england, and we got this rain coming in across northern ireland, getting into northern wales and the south—west as well. away from all of that, a drier day on thursday, temperatures 10—13 in the north, and up to 15 in the south. this is the centre of the low pressure system that was hurricane lorenzo. it continues to drift towards the south, and east, taking its rain with it. the strongest winds will be in south wales, the south—west of england and the english channel. again, we're looking at gusting gel force winds and all that rain pushing south —— gale force. north—east scotland

could mist all of this together and stay dry. temperatures up to 16 today. thank you, carol, we know it is causing all sorts of problems, all of this rain. residents in the village of laxey on the isle of man are assessing the damage this morning, after floodwaters ripped through homes and businesses. a major incident was declared yesterday, as the river burst its banks, leaving some people trapped in their homes. brea kfast‘s tim muffett is there for us this morning. tim, wellingtons on in the kitchen is never a good look, is it? the damage here is quite something. so many places or torrential rain and here on the isle of man, it absolutely hammered down. the river burst its banks and the river came into many properties including this

one. the damage on the floor, the water came up to about here, it has subsided but the damage is here as you can see. mark and tracy, thank you can see. mark and tracy, thank you for letting us in this morning, and i'm so sorry about what happened to your house. can you tell us what happened? i was at work, well, i couldn't go to work, then it started raining and we went upstairs, put sandbags down and everything, and then the walljust collapsed and it was a glass of water about three foot deep and itjust came in —— gush of water. and you were upstairs, tracy? yes, obviously the water gushing through, trying to rescue the bits and bobs that you can, and yeah, we were told to stay u psta i rs can, and yeah, we were told to stay upstairs so the fire brigade knew where we were. yeah. and this house

swept down the road. we were delivering sandbags to this property and the property next door at the time when the water was only ankle—deep. there was a massive volume of trees that came down and locked the river, and within minutes the river had backed up, and the wall was breached and there was a tidal wave of water that came down so we had to abandon both fire pumps and took shelter to get away from the flood. thank you so much indeed. thank you mark and tracy for talking to us as well. the forecast today is not so bad, no rain expected today but it is expected to get wetter later in the week. there is a lot of cleaning up to do. that's jackie out —— let's check out the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. good morning from bbc london news. london ambulance service has trialled a new way of treating

patients to help ease the burden on hospitals. it gave extra resources — including mental health and fall specialists — to a part of east london so that some patients could could be treated by crews without having to go to a&e. it's hoped it could help them focus on people who are more seriously ill. if you are a well, and you don't need to be in hospital, the last place you want to be is in an emergency department. you will sit in theirfour hours, from a purely selfish view, i want to focus on people who are unwell, and you could be distracting me. londoners can now find out if their partner has an abusive past by making a request to the police online. before now, the only way to do this was by visiting a police station and completing a paper form. the domestic violence disclosure scheme, known as clare's law, is named after clare wood who was killed ten years ago by her abusive ex—boyfriend.

elderly and disabled people living near hammersmith bridge can now use a dial—a—ride bus to get over the river. transport for london has expanded the service to all residents with mobility issues living within a mile of the crossing. it's been closed to vehicles since april after structural issues were found. now, are you fed up with fly—tipping? barking and dagenham council have been posting cctv videos of offenders on their youtube channel, and asking residents to identify them. since their crackdown began, fly—tipping and littering has dropped by nearly a third in the borough. so far 28 people have been fined after being identified in the videos. let's take a look at the travel situation now. severe delays on the metropolitan line between uxbridge and headington. minor problems on the overground as well. westbound traffic on the 813 is building from dagenham into barking. northbound traffic on the blackwall tunnel

suffolk approach is slow from the willis road flyover. now to the weather. good morning. well, in stark contrast to yesterday, today we have a cold, crisp but with plenty of sunshine. now it's going to stay dry as well so those heavy downpours from yesterday are distant memories except for the puddles. so the sunshine today is going to feel colder, that northerly flow, quite breezy, too. the temperature 13— 15 celsius is a maximum, so significantly colder. a chilly night is well under clear skies, temperatures dropping right down. though single figures out towards the suburbs and beyond, there may even be a sparkle or two of ross tomorrow morning. a bright start to thursday but gradually the cloud is going to roll in, turning hazy throughout the day, temperatures similar tomorrow. as we had to thursday into friday, x hurricane the renzo turning the weather rather wet and breezy for some parts of

friday, but feeling warmer as we head into the weekend. right. i'm backin head into the weekend. right. i'm back in 30 minutes. now it's back to dan and louise. have lovely shoulder pads, we could see more of it. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. it is 6:30am. we will bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment. but also on breakfast this morning: it is another big day of action at the world athletic championships. we will get the latest from doha with british coach toni minichiello. she is one of the most famous actors in the world, but even renee zellweger was nervous about having to sing in her new film based on the life ofjudy garland. she has been telling louise all about it. what have you done? you have caught a bream, you lovely old dream.

and later, friends bob mortimer and paul whitehouse will be here to tell us how heart disease brought them closer together, and reignited a love of fishing. good morning. here is a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: the duchess of sussex is suing the mail on sunday over a claim it unlawfully published one of her private letters to her estranged father. in an emotional statement, prince harry accuses the press of bullying and destroying lives, and said he feared his wife was falling victim to the same powerful forces as his mother. the paper says it will defend itself vigorously. borisjohnson will set out details of what is being described as his final negotiating offer to the eu later. the prime minister is expected to tell the conservative party conference the plan is a fair and reasonable compromise, but will warn there will be no further negotiations if the eu fails to engage with his offer.

proposals for a long—awaited new law to better protect victims of domestic abuse will be debated by mps today. the bill is expected to include provisions to place a legal duty on councils to offer secure homes for those escaping violence and ban perpetrators from being able to directly cross—examine victims in court. a teenager accused of throwing a boy from a viewing platform at the tate modern in london can be identified for the first time, because he has turned 18 today. jonty bravery, who is from west london, has been charged with the six—year—old's attempted murder. an application to extend the reporting restriction protecting his identity was rejected by a judge yesterday. the boy's family have said he now struggles to speak or eat. more than 150 flood alerts remain in place in england, with more rain and strong winds forecast for tomorrow. on the isle of man, a major incident was declared yesterday after flash—flooding trapped some people indoors. cars were submerged after heavy rain in leicestershire, and landslides blocked railway lines in cumbria.

towns and villages without a free—to—use cash machine will be able to request one in areas where residents find it difficult to withdraw cash. the organisation which runs the uk's atm network has set up a £1 million fund to tackle concerns that it is getting harder for people to withdraw money in their communities, but some businesses are warning that is not enough. and one other piece of news to bring you this morning. supermodel gigi hadid has given a whole new meaning to the phrase "fashion police". take a look at this video from the chanel show during paris fashion week. comedian marie s'infiltre, dressed in a dogtooth suit and black hat, climbs onto the catwalk and starts walking down the runway. just as marie starts posing with her hands on her hips, gigi blocks her way and escorts her out.

it was very gentle escorting, wasn't it? you wouldn't mess with gigi, would you? it? you wouldn't mess with gigi, would you ? i it? you wouldn't mess with gigi, would you? i think spares could have done with her last night, actually. —— spurs. done with her last night, actually. -- spurs. it is a bit embarrassing, and one of the things, when you go to the football and it is all going wrong for your team and lots of the people leave early, i am one of those people who goes why are you leaving? you must never leave, you never leave while your team is playing, but last night lots of people left, and i don't think i blame them, because it was just really u nco mforta ble to blame them, because it was just really uncomfortable to watch. it was an embarrasing, humbling night for spurs, thrashed 7—2 at home by bayern munich in the champions league. joe wilson reports. empty — that was tottenham at full—time. against a club with five european cups, they had just conceded seven goals — seven. strange thing is, spurs actually took the lead. it looked good

for them, after 11 minutes. sadly, the lead barely lasted three minutes. could kimmich score from there? well, yes. well, if you allow players to shoot, they will score, especially if they are one of the outstanding finishers. perfect from robert lewandowski. now look who led the game. now look who fell apart. the second half began with bayern munich scoring almost at will. three quickly became four. tottenham's manager looked at the floor. what was left in the game? well, a harry kane penalty. a—2, if you had lost count. spurs were, remember, champions league finalists. what are they now? serge gnabry, a former arsenal player, completed his hat—trick. lewandowski helped himself to another. by now, it was just torture. tottenham's ambitions and status shattered by a single scoreline. 7-2. manchester city, in contrast, were serene. 2—0 winners against dinamo zagreb, even if the referee decided

to book their manager. well, cheer up, pep. have you heard the score from spurs? joe wilson, bbc news. humiliation, then, for tottenham. and the statistics make awful reading too. this was the biggest home defeat for an english team in any european competition ever. it is the first time that spurs have conceded seven goals in any home match in their 137—year history, and they are the first english side to concede seven goals in a european home match. they are also the first to concede six. to doha, where there was huge disappointment for britain's adam gemili at the world athletics championships. he narrowly missed out on a medal in the 200 metres, finishing fourth by the narrowest of margins, the same thing that happened to him at the rio olympics three years ago. the race was won by the favourite, american noah lyles. i had it, i had it, and ijust...

just lost it. i gave it everything, i lost all my balance at the end. i just had nothing left. ijust— all my form went out the window, and i ran like such an amateur. oh, i can't believe that i came so close. this was my... this was such a good opportunity. i have been running so well through the heats, my body feels good, and ijust... yeah, i just let it go when i had it. meanwhile, there was another impressive performance from dina asher—smith. she looked in fine form as she comfortably won her 200 metres semi—final. she is now the big favourite to win gold in tonight's final. well, all the action at the world championships yesterday were overshadowed by the news that mo farah's former coach alberto salazar has been banned from athletics for four years. it is after an investigation by the us anti—doping agency found salazar guilty of violations that include the trafficking or attempted trafficking of testosterone. farah spent six years working under salazar, and has put out a statement saying that he has no tolerance for anyone who breaks the rules.

the bbc atletics commentator steve cram says farah shouldn't simply be guilty by association. mo farah's a great champion, and he hasn't done anything wrong. and to create some guilt by association is also wrong, or implication. he's never been found guilty of any offences, and so you have to accept that. if it changes, it changes, but that's the situation. and, after winning a record fifth superbikes world title last weekend, northern ireland'sjonathan rea is currently on his brother's stag do in ibiza. he will have an ice surprise when he gets home to county down, because his mural has been updated with his latest title. left a bit of space there as well, just in case. and there is a whole

other side, he could keep going. back to our top story this morning. prince harry has accused the press of bullying and destroying lives with relentless propaganda. his emotional statement came as the duchess of sussex announced she was suing the mail on sunday over claims it unlawfully publishied one of her private letters to her estranged father. our royal correspondent nicholas witchelljoins us now. he is on the royal tour in africa at the moment. thank you for coming on bbc breakfast this morning. we mention some of the words used in that statement, but it was really emotional. run us through some of the other things that prince harry had to say. i think on this occasion it is completely justified had to say. i think on this occasion it is completelyjustified in saying that this is unprecedented. the language is so outspoken. some may think it is rather extreme. it is an expression of emotion, of pain, on behalf of the couple. i think the interesting thing is that the language of the duke of sussex's statement is very much his own. we do not know whether he may have had

from his advisers advice to pull back the language a little bit, but if there was any such advice, he has clearly disregarded it, and he has come out with a statement which is nothing less than absolute full throated, full frontal attack on the entire british tabloid media, talking about a campaign that has escalated, talking about double standards, the vilification of his wife almost daily for the past nine months. the long and disturbing pattern of behaviour by british tabloid media, the bullying. the most interesting word, i think, in the statement is this word, commoditise. striking this comparison with what happened to his mother, prince harry says i will not stand by and see someone i love being commoditised to the point that they are no longer seen as a real person. by that of course he means that it person. by that of course he means thatitis person. by that of course he means that it is regarding someone as an instrument whereby the tabloid press and magazines seek to increase their readership, the commoditisation of a person. that is not a word that we have heard from any of them before, it isa

have heard from any of them before, it is a concept which is clearly something that exercises both of them very much. yes, the mail on sunday are standing by the story and saying they will defend their case vigorously. i know you are very much on the press trip, you are seeing exactly what the royals are up to each day. i wonder how this news will go down with some of the other members of the press pack, and particularly the tabloid media? well, i think they are shocked, to be perfectly honest. i think we're on the final day of what has been widely regarded a very successful visit stop they have had very positive coverage, and correctly so, from some of the very newspapers which have now been castigated by him, the british tabloid media, who have rallied around and given him very positive coverage of this. i think clearly there has been contact between the royal solicitors and associated newspapers, the publishers of the mail on sunday, and that has not resulted in the settle m e nt and that has not resulted in the settlement of this, so prince harry says that he has no alternative now but to take this particular case to

court. whether it will be felt that it is justified to castigate the entire british tabloid media off the back of one dispute with one newspaper over one story, however much that clearly has upset particularly meghan over her relations with her father, particularly meghan over her relations with herfather, and particularly meghan over her relations with her father, and so on, whether that is wires as a matter of opinion. i think there will be those who may feel that this is rather over—the—top, however much they have been offended, that perhaps wiser councils might have suggested that they perhaps pull back a little bit —— counsels. but there we are, this is what is going to happen. it is going to go to court in the coming weeks and months. and the debate for many people watching breakfast will be that balance between how much they live their life and enjoy the benefits of being a royal couple, and the celebrity that comes with that, balance with how they feel. and clearly from the strong words in

that statement, how prince harry feels, that is represented in the media. yes, and i think it is entirely correct to say that harry has a pretty brittle relationship, at times, with the media. it doesn't on occasions take much to upset him. they have certainly been some quite negative coverage of them in recent months. over some missteps, the private jets, the celebrities, months. over some missteps, the privatejets, the celebrities, and that sort of thing. the irony, of course, is that so much of that has been pulled back over the past ten days with the successful visit. it is, as you say, perpetually a balance between fulfilling their public duties, fulfilling the role into which they find themselves, with all the advantages and all the privileges that they have as leading members of the royal family, while at the same time, living a private life with an expectation of privacy, which they have, and this letter

from meghan to her estranged father has been breached. and just to reiterate, the mail on sunday say they will vigorously defend the story they wrote. let us know what you think about that this morning. i think it will be interesting to find out where our viewers sit on that side of the debate, because it is a really strongly worded statement on prince harry. we will have more reaction to that later. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, carol. good morning. we are going to start on hurricane lorenzo, still a category two hurricane, it is now very close to the western islands of the azores. strong winds and up to 25 metre waves, about the size of an eight story building. imagine how terrifying it would be to have about coming your way. for us, terrifying it would be to have about coming yourway. for us, it's terrifying it would be to have about coming your way. for us, it's a quiet start, clear skies around so it isa quiet start, clear skies around so it is a cool start as well if you

are stepping out. some bits of frost, but for most of us it will be sunny and cooler than yesterday. we have a lot of blue sky to start with when the sun gets up, a brisk northerly wind across the north of scotland, gusty winds down the rsc coastline could bring themselves to east anglia. one or two getting into ireland and wales and this afternoon we could see a couple in the midlands, they will be the exception rather than the rule. temperatures of10— rather than the rule. temperatures of10- 1a rather than the rule. temperatures of 10— 1a degrees. quite a drop. we have some showers in the north in the evening, and clear sky once again, so it will be another cool night. with high cloud starting to build out towards the west, temperatures between two and 6—10 as we go through the night. temperatures starting to climb, this cloud is associated with what will

be by then remnants of ex—hurricane lorenzo. a deep area of low pressure. we've got some rain coming in from the west through the afternoon, the wind is starting to pick up, north—west england, northern ireland, and also ireland itself. the wind will strengthen across parts of wales in the south—west, and you can see the rain associated with it. temperatures as associated with it. temperatures as a whole over the course of thursday ranging from nine in lerwick to 15 in plymouth. overnight on thursday into friday we can start to see spectacular wind strengths to the rest of ireland, again, severe gales here. same for northern ireland. inland will be looking at gales, and it will be windy across the irish sea as well. looking across the irish sea, winds will is quite quickly as the low pressure starts to feel. we will have all of this rain pushing southwards and eastwards, we're looking at severe gales along the coast of wales,

south wales, south—west of england and gales through the english channel, so, a lot of weather going on in the next couple of days. it's the uk's biggest supermarket but tesco has been under pressure recently. ben's looking into the company this morning. ben? yes, we had heard from sainsbury‘s, nibbling into that shower. and tesco is in nibbling into that shower. and tesco isina nibbling into that shower. and tesco is in a similar position. let me explain the scale of tesco, three thousand 500 stores, —— 3500 stores, 300,000 employees in the uk alone. they have a responsibility to make sure their business is robust. for many years it has seemed unstoppable. in 2005 it became the first retailer to report annual profits of more than £2 billion. fast forward ten years — in 2015 it reported the worst annual results in its history —

a loss of £6 billion. it shows how the fortunes have changed. so around that time it brought in this man. dave lewis — recruited from unilever — known there as "drastic dave". unilever is the consumer goods giant. he got that nickname because he dramatically cut things. since then he's been living up to his name, making big changes, cutting costs, closing stores and laying off staff. so far this year, tesco has announced nearly 1a,000 job losses. this is as they try to work out how to compete. he's also tried new formats. last year, tesco opened a new budget chain called jack's. that's their answer to the discounters. designed to compete with competition from aldi and lidl, there were plans to open 10—15 of these, but last week they announced that store was going to close, and be turned back into a tesco.

right. so it will be interesting to see what they say in their results, whether that experiment is working. but there's one cost that is out of the control of tesco. with the brexit deadline fast approaching like many other companies it's been spending money on stockpiling. they've been spending lots of money on that. this is what dave lewis told steph in july. we did take some stock, depending on what the outcome was, we could at least help our customers do that turbulent time. it will be more difficult to do that in october because all of the network will be full of things getting ready for christmas, so there will be less capacity. but we will do whatever is practical depending on how things develop between now and then. so, what are we expecting today? we will get results in about ten minutes, i'll bring them to you as soon we get them. it's interesting comparing this year with last year,

last year had a good summer, we had the world cup, so a big boost in spending, now it will be a hard act to follow. the numbers may be difficult. as we heard from dave lewis earlier in the year, he said the cost—cutting turnaround plan is going well. so what i'm going to look at, and this is always the trick, all the devil is in the detail. all the devil is in the detail. i'll have those details for you just after seven a.m.. thank you. she may be one of the most famous actors in the world right now, but even renee zellweger got a little bit nervous when it came to her latest role. you could hear her giggles coming down the corridor, when she came in for the interview, she shook everyone's hand and said i am renee. a really good sign.

what a wonderfulfilm. what a wonderful film. when you see her being duty, what do you think?|j her being duty, what do you think?” said this before, it's quite extraordinary, i met heras said this before, it's quite extraordinary, i met her as duty before i met her as renee. it's kind of strange. i kind of knew who she was, but on the first day she had the deep end, the hair on, and she was in the middle of filming a scene. so i got a mixture of the two, she wasn't in character, she didn't say hello, i'm judy. but i was getting a bit of duty in with renee. i have someone i can rely on now. visit mac i'm going to love you! sue look like her, did you watch lots of her? —— in order to? there is this incredible collection of footage on the internet, thank you very much, youtube. and books and photographs and her interviews and photographs and her interviews and her performances and all about. and we threw everything at it

initially, you know, the full thing. then rupert, the director, wanted to extra ct then rupert, the director, wanted to extract as much as possible, because he felt it was a delusion of the story he wanted to tell. so just minimal changes so that it was familiar, but not an impersonation. the film started a tough point in her life when you play her former husband, and she is losing her children. she said you have to leave your children to make enough money to be with your children. that's devastating about was her life, isn't it? there were a lot of circumstances that were complicated in her life in herfinal chapter. what i learned about this experience was it was the opportunity to contextualise those circumstances do sort of subvert the notion that she was a tragic figure. you know? she was a tragic figure. you know? she was a tragic figure. you know? she was a hero. when you consider what she had to overcome again and again to continue to perform at the level that people had come to expect of her, and with no rest, and with no

moment to take care of the things that enabled her to take care of herself. ladies and gentlemen... i can't! what do you mean? there is an audience waiting for you to sing! my mouth is dry. let's talk about the singing as well, were you nervous doing it? oh, gosh! 0h, singing as well, were you nervous doing it? oh, gosh! oh, it was joyful. you know, it was a shared process , joyful. you know, it was a shared process, the whole thing.” joyful. you know, it was a shared process, the whole thing. i was working with so many extraordinary people. # somewhere over the rainbow... the end of the film, i mean, you know, i cried. did you cry? it was tricky, i was sitting next to my son. so i was kind of pretending i was eating my

forehead, halfway down my face —— itching. then the second time i was like, no, not again. this is ridiculous. this person is real—life, there is a sense of responsibility. i wanted to be in touch with them before i started, but circumstances weren't on my side. i met lauren afterwards, she is hilarious. this era, where there is hilarious. this era, where there isa is hilarious. this era, where there is a lot of information, and you talk about manipulation, did you choose not to listen? what do you do? i don't have to change because they don't have to engage in it and i don't the it unless it is in the supermarket and there is a tabloid cover. everyone knows that is just paperdolls. rene is mad! you know?

everyone knows that is nonsense. we aren't naive anymore. you learn by making mistakes, by wasting — i've learnt not to worry about what will come from a job because you can rob yourself of joy with come from a job because you can rob yourself ofjoy with that. to actually just taking yourself ofjoy with that. to actuallyjust taking the experience that you are having, because otherwise everything becomes about treating life as a stepping stone to some other imagined future. now i just tried to enjoy it. i do those scenes and i don't worry about what becomes of it. can we imagine a future where there is another bridgetjones? we will have two say when. when i do this interview, eve ryo ne when. when i do this interview, everyone asks me will she do another? 0h... everyone asks me will she do another? oh... yeah, everyone asks me will she do another? 0h. .. yeah, i'm everyone asks me will she do another? oh... yeah, i'm not being coy, i know. i don't know. i don't know anything. i am usually the last person to know. don't look at me! would you like to go back to bridget jones? she is so beloved.”

would you like to go back to bridget jones? she is so beloved. i would like to. i would love to. ijust need the invitation. i love her. that is a hell of a field in question. and a mean question. that is a hell of a field in question. and a mean questionm was lovely to meet you. fingers crossed. thank you very much indeed. yeah, it was nice to meet you. did just have done shouting and her people were like come on, and she just kept chatting. it was good to have rufus there, because he helped you out with bridgetjones. have rufus there, because he helped you out with bridget jones. the a nswer you out with bridget jones. the answer is if there is another book she said she would do one. that would be amazing. 0k. she said she would do one. that would be amazing. ok. i hope we can see more of that later on and our next story, those visiting friends. right now, the news, travel and weather wherever you are watching.

good morning to you from bbc london news. london ambulance service has trialled a new way of treating patients to help ease the burden on hospitals. it gave extra resources, including mental health and fall specialists, to a part of east london so that some patients could could be treated by crews without having to go to a&e. it's hoped it could help them focus on people who are more seriously ill. if you're well, and you don't need to be in hospital, the last place you want to be is in an emergency department. you'll sit in there for hours, and, from a purely selfish view, you're possibly distracting me from someone who is ill, and i want to focus on people who are unwell. londoners can now find out if their partner has an abusive past by making a request to the police online. before now, the only way to do this was by visiting a police station and completing a paperform. the domestic violence disclosure scheme, known as clare's law, is named after clare wood who was killed ten years ago by her abusive ex—boyfriend.

are you fed up with fly—tipping? barking and dagenham council have been posting cctv videos of offenders on their youtube channel, and asking residents to identify them. since their crackdown began, fly—tipping has dropped by nearly a third in the borough. so far 28 people have been fined after being identified in the videos. one of them was a gentleman who shot his wife and his neighbourjust before christmas last year. so it would have been a very difficult christmas dinner. another teenager who has chopped her mum. you can see bedcovers, stop for homes, so it is very clear that either a tenant has moved in or out and dumped the rubbers. —— stuff for homes, dumped the rubbish. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, there's severe delays on the metroploitan line between uxbridge and hillingdon — that's southbound due

to a signal failure. problems on the overground as well. on the roads — westbound traffic on the a13 is building from dagenham into barking. northbound traffic on the blackwall tunnel southern approach is slow from the woolwich road flyover good morning. well, in stark contrast to yesterday, today we've got a cold, crisp start with plenty of sunshine. now it's going to stay dry as well, so those heavy downpours from yesterday are a distant memory — except for the puddles. so enjoy the sunshine today. it is going to feel much colder, that northerly flow, quite breezy, too. the temperature looking around 13—15 celsius as a maximum, so significantly colder. now we're in for a really chilly night as well under clear skies, the temperatures dropping right down. low single figures out towards the suburbs and beyond, there may even be a sparkle or two of frost tomorrow morning. a bright start to thursday but gradually the cloud is going to start to roll in, so turning hazy throughout the day, temperatures similar tomorrow. as we head through the end of thursday into friday, ex—hurricane lorenzo turning the weather rather wet and rather breezy for some part of friday, but temperatures start to feel just

a little bit warmer as we head into the weekend. i'm back in half an hour. more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to dan and louise. good morning. welcome to breakfast, dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: harry and meghan take the mail on sunday to court for publishing one of the duchess's private letters to her father. the prince issues an emotional statement saying, "i lost my mother, and now i watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces." borisjohnson prepares to set out what he says is his final offer to europe over brexit in his speech to the conservative party conference. taking on tesco. newer, cheaper rivals are eating into tesco's market share, but the uk's biggest supermarket is fighting back. i'll be checking out their latest results,

due within the next few minutes. humiliation for spurs in the champions league. they are absolutely thumped 7—2 by bayern munich, in what is the biggest home defeat of an english team in any european competition ever. as renee zellweger joins rufus sewell to talk to us about their new film, she gives her take on dealing with the press pack. i wasn't thinking about what people think of how i looked, and i wasn't thinking about what this would mean, and i could care less. good morning, after the deluge of rain we had yesterday, today much quieter and much drier, with lengthy sunny spells and just a few showers. but it is also going to feel much cooler. they will have more later. -- i will cooler. they will have more later. —— i will have more later. it is wednesday 2 october. our top story: the duchess of sussex is suing the mail on sunday over a claim it unlawfully published one of her private letters

to her estranged father. in an emotional statement, prince harry accuses the press of bullying and destroying lives. the paper says it will defend itself vigorously. our correspondent nicholas witchell is with the royal couple on their tour of southern africa. it is this article in the mail on sunday earlier this year which is at the centre of the duchess's legal action. it quoted from a private letter she had written to his estranged father, thomas, at his home in mexico. the couple, who are in the final stages of their tour of southern africa, have now begun legal action in the duchess's name in the high court in london, alleging breach of privacy and copyright infringement. in a strongly worded statement, the duke has said: harry says his deepest fear is history repeating itself. he writes...

that is a remarkably outspoken statement. it is clearly a measure of how deeply the couple feel. they believe they have no option now but to take a major newspaper group to court. nicholas witchell, bbc news, johannesburg. our correspondent andy moore is outside buckingham palace for us this morning. andy, we have just heard a taste of what prince harry has had to say on this, but it is clearly very heartfelt, isn't it? he called it unprecedented, and the words are incredibly strongly put out there, and it is clear he has gone to great lengths to think about what he said in this statement. yes, imean, he what he said in this statement. yes, i mean, he says that his wife has been the victim of relentless propaganda, that is knowingly false and malicious. he says he can't begin to describe how painful that has been for them both. he says it

is bullying, pure and simple. now, the legal firm, is bullying, pure and simple. now, the legalfirm, schillings, that is bullying, pure and simple. now, the legal firm, schillings, that is representing the couple, they say they have taken this legal action because the paper wouldn't back down or apologise in any respect, so not surprisingly got a statement last night saying the mail on sunday stands by this story it published, and will be defending this case vigorously. specifically, we categorically deny that the duchess's letter was edited in any that changed its meaning. now, that last comment was in response to claims from the prince that the letter was changed, leaving out whole paragraphs, sentences, and even words that didn't suit the purposes, the agenda of the paper. now, the action is being funded privately by the couple, and they say that any damages they win will go to an anti— bullying charity. briefly, the legal situation, the

letter, the copyright belongs to the duchess of sussex. the paper will no doubt claim it has the right to publish extracts from that letter. andy, thank you very much. we will be getting more detail on that throughout the programme. borisjohnson will reveal more details of what is being described as the government's final negotiating offer to the eu later. the prime minister is expected to tell the conservative party conference that the plan is a fair and reasonable compromise, but will warn there will be no further negotiations if the eu fails to engage with his offer. let's speak to our political correspondent iain watson. it seems that these proposals might be going to the eu pretty soon. yes, they will be going today. new proposals are being delivered, so we should know by the end of the week whether they are going to be a nonsta rter whether they are going to be a nonstarter or whether the eu takes the position that it is good to talk. certainly some people would

say is he simply putting forward impossible demands to the eu so he can blame them if there is no deal by the end of the month? a lot of the rhetoric seems like that, take it or leave it, and final offer. one of his colleagues said he believes it was heading for no deal but now enough compromise has been made to restart negotiations, and he thinks there is a serious offer on the table. one thing borisjohnson could be putting forward is the idea of customs checks post brexit. that has not gone down well with the irish government. that is a big hurdle to overcome. and the idea that they could instead eu regulations in northern ireland only, perhaps for a few years, that does sound like something the eu might be willing to talk about. but again, he has to keep his own allies, the dup, on side. the seem to be perfectly happy. there were cheers at the conference reception. but whether there will be chairs in brussels, as he says, he is prepared to do. whether we are in a position where

there might be some agreement. thank you very much. it is a very busy morning, because on the other side of the sofa, ben isjoining us. you we re of the sofa, ben isjoining us. you were expecting news from tesco's, but it is bigger than you thought. the boss, dave lewis, is to step down. he has been the boss forfive yea rs, down. he has been the boss forfive years, brought in from unilever, and he has been cutting jobs, staff and cost tha n he has been cutting jobs, staff and cost than trying to get the business back on an even keel given the competition it is facing from cheaper discounters like aldi and lidl. they have announced 1a,000 jobs cuts this year, such as the scale of the challenge. so what we haveis scale of the challenge. so what we have is clearly that headline that he will be gone by the summer. but once we look at the headlines, and what they are trying to do is

turnaround fortunes. sales are pretty flat, and that is not a figure they will be happy with. so coming in exactly the same this year as last year. so last year was a really good year for them. we as last year. so last year was a really good yearfor them. we had the world cup, really good weather, and people were out spending. this year was always going to be tough, but they will be unhappy, it is fair to say, that they are not able to see sales grow even more. the announcement that he is off well i think go down quite well in the city. hisjob think go down quite well in the city. his job has think go down quite well in the city. hisjob has been to turnaround fortunes, deliver cost cuts and deliver savings, and he says he has done it. he says we are through the turnaround plan, and i am pleased to say we have now delivered every element of the turnaround plan, and from this position of strength the transformation of our business continues. clearly that transformation will not include him from next summer. very interesting.

i will give you more detail, i will read the rest of the 50 pages. we will give you ten minutes. residents in the village of laxey on the isle of man are assessing the damage this morning after floodwaters ripped through homes and businesses. a major incident was declared yesterday as the river burst its banks, leaving some people trapped in their homes. brea kfast‘s tim muffett is there for us this morning. we can see the damage that is being done, tim. good morning to you. so many places had torrential rain, but here in laxey, on the east coast of the isle of man, the river broke its banks and the water came cascading into many properties, this one being one of them. it belongs to mark and tracy young. what happened yesterday? it hasjust started raining early. a little bit of rain, and then the walljust collapsed, and then the walljust collapsed, and it was like a tidal wave. you we re and it was like a tidal wave. you were upstairs, won't you, tracy, when this happened. yes, downstairs

and then upstairs. they told us all to stay upstairs so they knew where we were. just absolutely devastating. you can see the damage here. the water damage was plain to see. and this house belongs to your late father, and it must be a very, very difficult thing to do. it is, very difficult thing to do. it is, very stressful and emotional. but yes... at least you are safe. exactly. and the clean-up is now under way. thank you for inviting us to talk to you. the forecast is for no rain, but over the weekend more rain is forecast, so hopefully things can get is back to normal as possible. but as for now, there is a lot of cleaning up to be done. and those pictures really give you a sense of what people were trying to deal with yesterday.

proposals for a long—awaited new law to better protect victims of domestic abuse will be debated by mps today. the bill is expected to include provisions to place a legal duty on councils to offer secure homes for those escaping violence, and ban perpetrators from being able to directly cross—examine victims in court. we will find out more in a moment. first, here is one woman's story. my my name is charlotte nair. i run rbwa refuge. we have spaces here for 11 women and 2a children. so i am a survivor of domestic abuse. some yea rs survivor of domestic abuse. some years ago my husband was very abusive towards me, and ended up going to prison for the things that he had done to me and other women. i know how important it is to have a safe place to go, and without somewhere like this, you know, i may not have been able to escape. i may not have been able to escape. i may not have been able to get out of the relationship alive. we are really

pleased that the domestic abuse bill is getting a second reading in the house today. there are some really great bits on the bill. but there are big, fundamental things that the bill misses, and for us, the most critical is funding for accommodation for vic terms, and the legal duty on local authorities. without these things included in the bill, unfortunately, more victims of domestic abuse are going to die. we arejoined now byjane keeper, director of operations at the charity refuge. good morning to you. how important, from your point of view, is this bill? this is a historic opportunity today. we are turning to parliament. this bill is an opportunity to transform britain's response to domestic abuse, and undoubtedly save lives. it is absolutely vital, particularly through its second reading today. are you worried that

maybe it doesn't go far enough? you arejust happy maybe it doesn't go far enough? you are just happy it is a major step forward if it gets through?m are just happy it is a major step forward if it gets through? it is a huge step forward. refuge will be looking to see that the legal duty to provide refuges, to end this postcode lottery of provision that currently exists, it must be underpinned by adequate funding, because the local authorities have all experienced huge austerity cuts in recent years. so it must be underpinned by funding. it is vital that victims have somewhere to flee to if they need to, such as refuges. we are looking to see and working with civil servants along with others for the last few years to see that housing law gets revised so that housing law gets revised so that vic terms have a right to settle housing. otherwise it is very frightening to contemplate leaving an frightening to contemplate leaving

a n u nsafe frightening to contemplate leaving an unsafe home when you think you might be living on the street with your children. we need to see ma. we need to see that, with universal credit, at the moment and unintended consequence of it is the violent man too often has the payments made to him and is able to control... the woman has no money at all in her purse and cannot flee. as a default, the payments must be equally split to both the man and the woman. there are people facing domestic abuse right now. so how long does this take to filter through, to actually start making a difference? the critical thing today is will this bill get through. and if it does? and if it does we need to see the housing changes, we need to see the housing changes, we need to see

the ending of whether you get help depending on your immigration status. domestic violence is a crime, everyone deserves help to get away. whereas at the moment, there isa away. whereas at the moment, there is a test of your immigration status first as to whether or not it is a crime in your particular case. that must and. crime in your particular case. that mustand. —— crime in your particular case. that must and. —— end. crime in your particular case. that mustand. —— end. so crime in your particular case. that must and. —— end. so this bill is a historic opportunity. we are working with six and a half thousand victims today and every day and day and us are looking at mps today to get this bill across. in terms of your concerns bill across. in terms of your concerns about it not getting through, is that because of the funding issue? 0r through, is that because of the funding issue? or are there other concerns? we just need to make sure that in terms of the way that parliament runs its business today, that this is a priority. we

understand there are many priorities that the government has, but this is one of the country's problems, this destroys lives. it takes away lives. domestic violence killings are at a five year high, and we are turning to government today to look to get this vital bill through. the people watching who are suffering this kind of abuse and worry and all the rest of abuse and worry and all the rest of it, what is your best advice for them, actually? there is help out there. you have a right to get help, it's not your fault. there. you have a right to get help, it's not yourfault. call us, called refuge on the national mastic helpline, 2a—hour was the day, and get specialist advice —— national 2a—hour helpline. if you are a friend, also called us as well. thank you very much, director of operations at refuge. and we can

talk about that later, nicole jacobs, the first domestic abuse commissioner, we will be talking to her at 8:50am on breakfast. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning dan and luke, good morning to you. it is quite quiet across the uk, certainly drier than yesterday. but if you cast your eye into the atlantic, we're still talking about hurricane lorenzo, this to whopper of a hurricane —— this to whopper of a hurricane —— this category two, it is going to produce up to 25 metre waves, that is roughly the size of an eight story building. but you can see back at home we have clear skies for many parts, so a nippy start, a touch of frost in the north, in parts of wales as well, but the most it would bea wales as well, but the most it would be a sunny day, feeling cooler. we do have some showers knocking around first thing, coming down on the brisk breeze in the north—east of

scotland. down the coastline, that could also have some showers in east anglia, one or two showers in northern ireland and wales, you could cut one, for example, in the midlands. but they are the exception rather than the rule. most of us will have dry, sunny spells. the top temperature was just over 21 celsius, but as we had over the evening, the winds drop and you can see a lot of the sky. that means once again it is going to be a cold night. it was this mist and fog patches forming in central and eastern areas in land and we could see some pockets of frost in some sheltered glands. a high coming in from the west will help those temperatures remain at about ten. some sunshine, cloud tilting in as the weather front comes, —— building

in. this will be the remnants of hurricane lorenzo, and by then it will be a deeper area of low pressure. northern ireland, also through the irish sea, but we are going to see some of that rain also come our way as well. now overnight, thursday into friday, the wind really does strengthen, particularly on the coast of ireland and also northern ireland. you can see the centre of the low pressure here, this was, by now, ex—hurricane lorenzo and it is going to bring some heavy rain with it as well, we could have 8—10 metre waves off the coast of ireland and gusty winds gusting to gale force overnight and into friday. now that rain will continue to push through wales down towards the south, and again we have gales or severe gales along the west approaches of south wales and the south—west. gales across the english

channel. lots going on with the weather. dan and blue. thank you. those pictures are really giving us a sense of how people are dealing with the weather —— dan and blue. it is wednesday 2 october. our top story: the duchess of sussex is suing the mail on sunday over a claim it unlawfully published one of her private letters to her estranged father. in an emotional statement, prince harry accuses the press of bullying and destroying lives. the paper says it will defend itself vigorously. borisjohnson's "take it or leave it" message to europe as he prepares to set out his final offer on brexit. it would see northern ireland remaining partly until 2025.

a protester was shot with live ammunition in hong kong during pro—democracy demonstrations yesterday. a "fair and reasonable" compromise — that's how borisjohnson describes his final offer of a brexit deal to the eu. the prime minister will reveal more details this afternoon, in a speech to the conservative party conference in manchester. let's speak now to the party's chairman, james cleverly. good morning to you. thanks for joining us. wejust looked at the front pages of the newspapers and the telegraph has a story i'm sure you've seen this morning, that the idea might be two borders for four yea rs, idea might be two borders for four years, is that it? well, look, unsurprisingly, i am years, is that it? well, look, unsurprisingly, iam not years, is that it? well, look, unsurprisingly, i am not going to

give away the details of the prime minister's vts. but the point he is making is now is the time for the eu to consider seriously the proposals that we are putting forward. there will not be a delay, we are living on the 31st of october, —— leaving, and we want the eu to recognise that movement on their part will give us the opportunity to get a deal and get to the house of commons, get brexit done so that both in europe, but most importantly, for us of course here in the uk, we can move on to other important issues, the priorities of the british people. presumably you know the details of this deal. are you offering them something they can genuinely accept in your view? absolutely. this is, as the prime minister has said, this isa as the prime minister has said, this is a serious set of proposals which area, is a serious set of proposals which are a, you know, credible way forward. and i do think give us the

opportunity to resolve this. the british people. and i'm sure this is reflected in other parts of europe as well. they want brexit done. they wa nt to as well. they want brexit done. they want to be able to see the government focus on their priorities, schools, hospitals, policing, transport infrastructure, this is what the british people one of us. this is what we want to do. we wa nt of us. this is what we want to do. we want to move on. and this is the opportunity to do so. now is the time, now is the time to do that. so is this letter going to be sent today? yes. it's going to - today the prime minister is going to outline details in his speech is a probe into what will happen at the eu summit, but he has also been clear, the 31st of october is the date we are leaving the european union. now is the time for those serious considerations of our series proposal so we can get brexit done and move on those other priorities. there has already been reaction, and the details aren't there yet, some

of them are in some of the papers, or what they think. there has already been reaction from the eu, saying surely the historic achievement of the belfast agreement deserve better than a first and final offer. your response to that? we are absolutely committed to the peace and prosperity that we have seenin peace and prosperity that we have seen in northern ireland. the good friday agreement is an incredibly important document and we will make sure whatever proposal is put forward honour that. but it is also worth bearing in mind that the underpinning of the good friday agreement is that all communities, old traditions in northern ireland, have to feel comfortable with whatever happens there. and the democratic unionist party, the elected representatives from one of those communities were not uncomfortable, completely rejected the proposals we put forward. and that was one of the reasons why the previous agreement or the previous

proposals could not move forward. so we have to make sure that whatever proposals are put forward, it respects the good friday agreement. we are passionate about that. we are working towards that, because the peace and prosperity has to be protected. let's forward ride, if we can. i know there are if and boats. that's forward wide —— if and boats, forward line. the government has been very clear about october 31, but we know there is a law that would ask for a delay. so what are you doing about that? there well, as i say, speculating about what ifs and maybes is never particularly useful. the prime minister has been absolutely clear we're not going to seek an extension, we will be leaving on october 31. we want to do so with a deal, and with some pragmatism and flexibility, if they can be applied by the eu, and, if

british politicians who said they would vote for a deal if one is presented, stick to their word, then we can live in october 31 with a deal. which has always been the prime minister's referred outcome.” wa nted prime minister's referred outcome.” wanted to ask you about the story making headlines today, about the duke and duchess of sussex suing the mail. what is your thought on that? u nfortu nately i mail. what is your thought on that? unfortunately i haven't seen that story. i've been focusing on the political news and the prevelly of the prime minister's speech. i have not seen that story. i don't want to speculate because i don't know the details of that issue. i'm surprised you haven't seen this story giving it is -- you haven't seen this story giving it is —— given it is leading most newspapers. prince harry said about it, his deepest fear is history repeating itself, i've seen what happens when someone i love is commodified, to the point where they are no longer treated or seen as a

real person. what is your reaction to that? i can completely understand because of the situation he has gone through, why he would feel that way. i don't really want to be drawn too much on the detail because it is not a story i have read into in detail. i increasingly get my news through digital formats rather than looking at the front pages of newspapers.” haven't seen that one and i don't wa nt to haven't seen that one and i don't want to speculate on a story i don't know the detail of. the story was released last night, so you didn't see it on your digital formats then? laughter. i haven't seen the story, i don't know. i don't want to guess about a story, particularly one of such sensitivity, i know that is frustrating but i am sticking to that. thank you very much for your time here on bbc breakfast. thank you. time to get the news, travel and weather wherever you are. we will have the national headlines in

just a few minutes' time. good morning from bbc london news. london ambulance service has trialled a new way of treating patients to help ease the burden on hospitals. it gave extra resources, including mental health and fall specialists, to a part of east london so that some patients could be treated by crews without having to go to a&e. it's hoped it could help them focus on people who are more seriously ill. if you're well, and you don't need to be in hospital, the last place you want to be is in an emergency department. you'll sit in there for hours, and, from a purely selfish view, you're possibly distracting me from someone who is ill, and i want to focus on people who are unwell. londoners can now find out if their partner has an abusive past by making a request to the police online. before now, the only way to do this was by visiting a police station and completing a paperform. the domestic violence disclosure scheme, known as clare's law, is named after clare wood

who was killed ten years ago by her abusive ex—boyfriend. are you fed up with fly—tipping? barking and dagenham council have been posting cctv videos of offenders on their youtube channel, and asking residents to identify them. since their crackdown began, fly—tipping has dropped by nearly a third. so far 28 people have been fined after being identified in the videos. one of them was a gentleman who shocked his wife and his neighbourjust before christmas last year. so it would have been a very difficult christmas dinner. we've had another one where it was a teenager who has chopped her mum. if you look at the goods here, you can see it's the bedcovers, you can see it's stuff for a home. so it's very clear that either a tenant has moved in or moved out and dumped the rubbish. let's take a look at the travel situation now. minor problems on the london overground between watford junction and euston. thameslink services are unable to stop at saint pancreas

because of a power supply problem, problems on the south—eastern services. on the roads, slow towards the black world tunnel, approach from woolwich road flow over. —— backward. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. well, in stark contrast to yesterday, today we've got a cold, crisp start with plenty of sunshine. now it's going to stay dry as well, so those heavy downpours from yesterday are a distant memory — except for the puddles. so enjoy the sunshine today. it is going to feel much colder, that northerly flow, quite breezy, too. the temperature looking around 13—15 celsius as a maximum, so significantly colder. now we're in for a really chilly night as well under clear skies, the temperatures dropping right down. low single figures out towards the suburbs and beyond, there may even be a sparkle or two of frost tomorrow morning. a bright start to thursday but gradually the cloud is going to start to roll in, so turning hazy throughout the day, temperatures similar tomorrow. as we head through the end of thursday into friday, ex—hurricane lorenzo turning the weather rather wet and rather

breezy for some part of friday, but temperatures start to feel just a little bit warmer as we head into the weekend. enjoy your day if you are heading out. i'm back in half—an—hour. now though it's back to dan and louise. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. here is a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news: prince harry has accused the press of bullying and destroying lives. the emotional statement was released as the duchess of sussex announced she was suing the mail on sunday over claims it unlawfully published one of her private letters to her estranged father. the paper says it will defend itself vigorously. we can speak now to privacy lawyer emma woollcott, who is in our london newsroom. thank you very much for coming on the programme this morning. it is a

really unprecedented step. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell has been talking about it. in terms of the points of law, where are they standing with regards to suing the mail on sunday, do you think? well, the claim is brought on three basis, for misuse of private information, infringement of copyright and breach of data protection. and in my view, i can't see any genuine public interest in the publication of this deeply private letter. and from what you said there, it seems that you think that the claim will succeed? i know it is very hard to plan out exactly what will happen from this point forward, but it seems to have a strong case, based on what you said. well, i read the letter, and i really think i shouldn't have been able to. i think it shouldn't be in the public domain. it is handwritten, addressed dear daddy. she is describing her heartache and her anguish and it is clearly

private, i don't think it should be in the public domain. in terms of the language used in that statement, as well, it is quite clear from the royal couple that they feel very strongly about this. and even though, as our royal correspondent was saying, they have had a lot of good coverage over the last couple of weeks while they have been on this tour of africa, they have chosen this time to go to town, as it were, on the mail on sunday.” think it is dangerous to criticise those who stand up for themselves, andi those who stand up for themselves, and i think some of the reaction of the press can seem threatening, at times. i suspect this has been a carefully thought out course of action, and you said earlier it was unprecedented. it is rare, but not unprecedented, for members of the royal family, in fact for members of harry's family, to resort to court action when they need to protect their rights. 25 years ago princess diana successfully brought privacy proceedings against the mirror when they took pictures or they published photographs of her taken in the gym.

and the justification that the mirror sought to rely on then was that she looked tremendous in the photographs, as if she should be flattered away from standing up to that intrusion. i know you can't speakfor the that intrusion. i know you can't speak for the mail on sunday, they say they are going to vigorously defend the story. do you think their argument will be based on that fact, which i am sure many people might be making this morning as well, that they live their life in the public eye, they get the privileges of that public life, and as a part of that, they surrender some of their privity? they are -- privacy. they are not bringing proceedings in relation to stories about the amount spent on houses or pictures of them at public events. i don't think that marrying into the royal family means you waive all of our human rights. i think every person deserves privacy

and there is a zone of personal space that every person should enjoy. really interesting to talk to you this morning, thank you very much. and we asked you earlier for your comments on that story. let us know, because we will speak to a professor about this later as well. kate williams will talk to us, royal historian. take it or leave it appears to be the message from borisjohnson this morning to the eu over brexit. the prime minister is expected to update the conservative party conference on plans to present a "fair and reasonable compromise", but will warn there will be no further negotiations if the eu fails to engage with his offer. the boss of tesco is to stand down, saying his turnaround of the uk ‘s largest retailer is now complete. dave lewis joined tesco in 201a and pushed through a controversial restructuring plan. during his time, the supermarket has cut thousands ofjobs and closed hundreds of stores in order to tackle competition from newer, cheaper rivals like aldi and lidl. mr lewis says his decision to step down next summer is a personal one.

proposals for a long—awaited new law to better protect victims of domestic abuse will be debated by mps today. the bill is expected to include provisions to place a legal duty on councils to offer secure homes for those escaping violence and ban perpetrators from being able to directly cross—examine victims in court. more than 150 flood alerts remain in place in england, with more rain and strong winds forecast for tomorrow. on the isle of man, a major incident was declared yesterday after flash—flooding trapped some people indoors. cars were submerged after heavy rain in leicestershire, and landslides blocked railway lines in cumbria. we will be on the isle of man later to see how they are recovering from all of that. coming up on the programme,

carol will have the weather. and we are talking fishing later on, if you are a fan of gone fishing. the hosts both had heart trouble, they had a friendship of 30 years, and the fact that they had both been through hard trouble, they reconnected with each other, and now atv reconnected with each other, and now a tv series and they have written a book about it as well. it is fascinating. i love the show. the best bits are actually when they are not fishing. it is so slow and ponderous, and it shouldn't work, but it does. and it is about friendship, isn't it? it is gorgeous. how do i link that to spares? i think —— to spurs. i think they need to start afresh. it was an embarrasing, humbling night for spurs, thrashed 7—2 at home by bayern munich in the champions league. joe wilson reports. empty — that was tottenham at full—time.

against a club with five european cups, they had just conceded seven goals — seven. strange thing is, spurs actually took the lead. it looked good for them, after 11 minutes. sadly, the lead barely lasted three minutes. could kimmich score from there? well, yes. well, if you allow players to shoot, they will score, especially if they are one of the outstanding finishers. perfect from robert lewandowski. now look who led the game. now look who fell apart. the second half began with bayern munich scoring almost at will. three quickly became four. tottenham's manager looked at the floor. what was left in the game? well, a harry kane penalty. a—2, if you had lost count. spurs were, remember, champions league finalists. what are they now? serge gnabry, a former arsenal player, completed his hat—trick. lewandowski helped himself to another. by now, it was just torture, tottenham's ambitions and status shattered by a single scoreline — 7—2. manchester city, in contrast, were serene — 2—0 winners against dinamo zagreb, even if the referee decided to book their manager. well, cheer up, pep.

have you heard the score from spurs? joe wilson, bbc news. humiliation, then, for tottenham. and the statistics make awful reading, too. this was the biggest home defeat for an english team in any european competition ever. it is the first time that spurs have conceded seven goals in any home match in their 137—year history, and they are the first english side to concede seven goals in a european home match. they are also the first to concede six. i don't think we should run that again, ithink i don't think we should run that again, i think it is mean. i don't think we should run that again, ithink it is mean. my i don't think we should run that again, i think it is mean. my wife thinks you should stop football if the other team gets to four. only for the under 11 ‘s, maybe. to doha, where there was huge disappointment for britain's adam gemili at the world athletics championships. he narrowly missed out on a medal in the 200 metres,

finishing fourth by the narrowest of margins, the same thing that happened to him at the rio olympics three years ago. the race was won by the favourite, american noah lyles. i had it, i had it, and ijust — just lost it. i gave it everything. i lost all my balance at the end. ijust had nothing left. ijust — all my form went out the window, and i ran like such an amateur. oh, i can't believe that i came so close. this was my — this was such a good opportunity. i've been running so well through the heats, my body feels good, and i just... yeah, i just let it go, and i had it. meanwhile, there was another impressive performance from dina asher—smith. she looked in fine form as she comfortably won her 200 metres semi—final. she is now the favourite to win gold in tonight's final. well, all the action at the world championships yesterday were overshadowed by the four—year ban handed to mo farah's former coach alberto salazar. an investigation found him guilty of doping violations, and questions have been asked about how much farah knew during his six years working under salazar. farah says he has no tolerance for anyone who breaks the rules, and the bbc athletics commentator

steve cram says farah shouldn't simply be guilty by association. mo farah's a great champion, and he hasn't done anything wrong. and to create some guilt by association is also wrong, or implication. he's never been found guilty of any offences, and so you have to accept that. if it changes, it changes, but that's the situation. moving on from what steve said... he definitely needed a cuddle. very often in those interviews where they literally come straight off the track, you don't always get so much honesty from an athlete, and he was so honest, wasn't he, adam gemili.

he isa so honest, wasn't he, adam gemili. he is a lovely chap. "accept my deal or it's no deal" — that is the warning from borisjohnson as he makes what is being described as a final offer to the eu in an attempt to reach a new brexit agreement. the prime minister will reveal more details this afternoon, in a speech to the conservative party conference in manchester. we are joined now by the daily mail's andrew pierce and kevin maguire from the daily mirror. good morning, you two. we have spoken to james cleverly on the programme. he wouldn't give me details. have a either of you got details? should we start with you? know, james cleverly didn't give me the details because he hasn't got them, he doesn't know. —— james cleverly. i think he has been scribbling a few notes from the briefings. in ireland, where there was no border, they will have two borders forfour years was no border, they will have two borders for four years and they will try and move on after that. it is not ideal. it is not even a plan. it is going to be a proposal, and it is

incredible it is happening at this late stage, when the clock is counting down. a fortnight thursday he meets with european union leaders. the law states, if he hasn't got a plan by a fortnight saturday, then he has got to seek an extension and brexit doesn't go ahead. and johnson, the prime minister, keep saying we're going leave. we are not going to leave without breaking the law when the law says unless you get the deal, then we don't leave on halloween. he is pretty clueless and he wants to blame mps and parliament if all goes wrong. there is a blame game going on. or parliament, orthe wrong. there is a blame game going on. or parliament, or the european countries. when in fact the blame will rest with ten downing street. is there a plan, a concrete plan?m this a cunning plan, as they might have said in blackadder? i don't

know, but every party minister i have spoken to at this tory co nfe re nce have spoken to at this tory conference has said the same thing. we're definitely leaving on 31 october. so whether this plan is a cce pta ble october. so whether this plan is acceptable to mp5, let alone the eu, i don't know. but somehow they have obviously worked out a in which we go potentially without a deal. now, that could then mean we are back in the supreme court, back in the high court, i don't know. if we have already left, can the supreme court ta ke already left, can the supreme court take us back in? i don't know. they tell me as well at the prime minister is not going to break the law. have they found a loophole? i don't know. this must be the only time in politics where all sorts of people, when you ask what happens next, they say haven't a clue. it is baffling, it is puzzling. but i still sense that we are going on 31 october. and when borisjohnson goes on the stage today for this party co nfe re nce on the stage today for this party conference speech, the roof will be lifted on this conference centre, because they believe, the tory party members, they have finally got a prime minister who is going to deliver on brexit. but he is talking

toa deliver on brexit. but he is talking to a brexit sect. he is preaching to the choir. they are evangelical about it. it is the country, the country voted to leave. but how will he do it without a deal? but he might geta he do it without a deal? but he might get a deal. can i stop you there, because we asked over again that question to ministers. there is a law in place and there seems to be no answer to that at this point, andrew. no, well, that's right. so jacob rees—mogg i was at a meeting with him yesterday, and he was asked is there a loophole that they can exploit to get around the benn act, this was passed by hilary ben's agreement saying we can't leave with no deal. he says he is not aware of a loophole. is he fibbing? i don't know. because they are so certain we are leaving on 31 october. maybe this deal does get through. it does not feel that there is a lot of progress with this deal. two orders,

not one, a four year transition period. i don't know. but we are going in three weeks' time.” period. i don't know. but we are going in three weeks' time. i am sure you do know something about this one, both of you. let's talk about the other news story which i know you will know is making headlines, about the duke and duchess of sussex taking the mail on sunday to court. i want to redo one of the quotes we have heard from prince harry overnight. he said i lost my mother and now i watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces. let's first of all talk about, kevin, if you could, your reaction to them first of all going to court over this. i'm surprised. i'm sure they've taken legal advice stop watching from afar, i'll declare an interest. watching from afar, there is a dispute within a family between meghan and her father,

dispute within a family between meghan and herfather, he dispute within a family between meghan and her father, he wasn't at the wedding, he hasn't met his son—in—law or the grandchild. this letter she has written to him has gone to the mail. there are issues, where did that letter come from? did he give it to them? are you not allowed now? that would affect the families if they have disputes. did they edit it in a way that was against her? i don't know. harry and meghan markle feel stung, but they've raised high—stakes. the timing has been in the last week or so where they have been getting very good press. do you agree they've raised the high—sta kes good press. do you agree they've raised the high—stakes and are they within their right to do so? they should do what they think is best. i think it's very sad to see two young members of the royal family, very popular, prince harry is very popular, prince harry is very popular, his wife has also been

greatly welcomed when she joined the royal family, she is mixed greatly welcomed when she joined the royalfamily, she is mixed raised, she is american, she's actress, she showed that the monarchy is modernising and that's a great thing. but this letter, i don't know how it got to the mail on sunday, it isa how it got to the mail on sunday, it is a sister paper, ijust don't think it's a great idea to sue and ta ke think it's a great idea to sue and take legal action. i don't understand why harry says his wife is going through what his mother we nt is going through what his mother went through. look, his mother had a very complicated relationship with the press, he talked to the press a lot. we know she was being pursued by the paparazzi, she died because she was being driven by a drunk, thatis she was being driven by a drunk, that is why. we should never forget that. i hope this could all be resolved. people like meghan, and the courts are not a place for this sort of thing to be sorted out. andrew, kevin, thank you very much for your time this morning, and enjoy the rest of the conference. thank you. carol has had some

information about what's happening with the hurricane, it's quite a way away, but it is having an impact. good morning. this is a satellite image of hurricane lorenzo, delay category to hurricane —— still a category to hurricane —— still a category two hurricane. it's producing a lot of rain, strong winds and ecs swell of up to 25 metres in the azores, that is about eight metres high —— ac swell. it's a chilly start of the day if you haven't ventured out, but for most of us it is going to be dry and sunny. it will feel cooler than yesterday. yesterday we had 21 in london, today it is more likely to be 1a. we don't have the same amount of rainfall that we had yesterday, but showers coming in on a brisk and northerly wind. blowing some showers

in across east anglia, so is at the moment in chester and north wales, we could cut one in northern ireland and later on in the west midlands. those will be the exception rather than the rule. temperatures today, 10-1a than the rule. temperatures today, 10— 1a degrees. do this evening —— through this evening there will still be some showers around, but mostly clear skies and it will be cold. we will also see some patches of mist and fog form inland and in central and eastern areas. icloud from the west coming in means it won't be as cold for example in cornwall where we are looking at highs of about 10 degrees. through thursday we started with a lot of dry weather, the cloud building in from the west and the wind is going to strengthen. then we see the arrival of some rain. so gusty winds across the western reaches of scotland, through the north channel, gusty winds around northern ireland as well with some rain here, gusty

winds in north—west wales and the south—west with that rain. through central and eastern parts of england and scotland we are looking at drier conditions, although cloud building throughout the day. you can see behind me this circulation, this will be the remnants of ex— hurricane lorenzo, and what it does as it comes our way, that deep area of low pressure will strengthen the wind and increase the rainfall. the increasing strength rather because of the day, but through the evening and overnight, the wind will pick up off the course of ireland and england. we are looking at gales as well as heavy rain. what we think is thatis well as heavy rain. what we think is that is going to be pushing southwards and eastwards through friday, still windy. the winds will drop off as this starts to feel across the irish sea, but we will have severe gales in the irish sea, south—west of england, and the english channel. still a lot of weather to play for. it looks pretty

awful, doesn't it? thanks carol for keeping us up—to—date. awful, doesn't it? thanks carol for keeping us up-to-date. you can see those issues. the boss of one of the uk's biggest companies, tesco, has announced he is leaving the job. that was announced in the last half—an—hour or so, ben. that was announced in the last half-an-hour or so, ben. yes, at 7am theyissued half-an-hour or so, ben. yes, at 7am they issued the results, and the surprise is, dave lewis from tesco. .. he's the surprise is, dave lewis from tesco... he's the chief executive of tesco... he's the chief executive of tesco and his men in the top job since 201a, so what, five years. he quite a controversial figure, since 201a, so what, five years. he quite a controversialfigure, his job was to turn around the fortunes we re job was to turn around the fortunes were tesco. there was a time when this retailer could do no wrong. it was the first company in the uk to report profits of more than £2 billion. ten years later it had the kind of strange title of having the worst results in history, a loss of

£600 million. so it's facing competition from cheaper rivals like aldi and lidl, so he was brought into save money. he got the nickname dave. and we spoke to him earlier in the year, —— drastic dave. he spoke about all the staff, looking back fondly, remembering jack cohen, who founded tesco100 years ago. so steph asked him about his new title. he was very pioneering all the way through. there were people throughout the business that knew him. we still have some colleagues with 50 years of service that still remember him. they still remember uncle jack. are you going to be uncle jack. are you going to be uncle dave? no. you are known as

drastic dave. well... it's a title that stuck and will be around for a little while. we had a statement from him this morning was that he said my statement to step down is a personal one, i believe the tenure ofa personal one, i believe the tenure of a chief executive should be a finite one and now is the time to pass on the baton. a lot would argue that we know there are so many things facing the firm right now, not least competition from cheaper rivals i have touched on. also concerns about supplies ahead of brexit and getting stuff on the shelves at the right times, tesco has been stockpiling to make sure they have the right things on the right sales at the right times and it's worth mentioning as well clearly his departure will get all the headlines today. the firm is also reporting sales up by 6.7%,

sorry, profits. so a lot of work ahead for them to do. thank you for that. we will see you later. louise has been speaking to renee zelwegger about her starring role in the new film aboutjudy garland. i also asked renee how she felt about negative comments made about her appearance in the press, and she opened up about her close friends illness. and bridgetjones. and bridget jones. and she was very nice. lovely. she arrived wearing slippers, that was my favourite thing. —— she was lovely. slippers, that was my favourite thing. -- she was lovely. time to get the news, travel and weather. good morning from bbc london, i'm alpa patel. london ambulance service has

trialled a new way of treating patients to help ease the burden on hospitals. it gave extra resources including mental health and fall specialists to a part of east london so that patients could could be treated without having to go to a&e. it's hoped it could help them focus on those more seriously ill. if you're well, and you don't need to be in hospital, the last place you want to be is in an emergency department. you'll sit in there for hours, and, from a purely selfish view, you're possibly distracting me from someone who is ill, and i want to focus on people who are unwell. londoners can now find out if their partner has an abusive past by making a request online. up until now, the only way to do this was by visiting a police station and completing a paperform. the domestic violence disclosure scheme, known as clare's law, is named after clare wood who was killed ten years ago by her abusive ex—boyfriend. are you fed up with fly—tipping? barking and dagenham council have been posting cctv videos of offenders on their youtube channel, and asking residents to identify them.

since their crackdown, fly—tipping has dropped by nearly a third. so far 28 people have been fined after being identified. one of them was a gentleman who shocked his wife and his neighbourjust before christmas last year. so it would have been a very difficult christmas dinner. we've had another one where it was a teenager who has chopped her mum. if you look at the goods here, you can see it's the bedcovers, you can see it's stuff for a home. so it's very clear that either a tenant has moved in or moved out and dumped the rubbish. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, minor problems on the london overground between watford junction and euston due to a signal failure at watford junction. on the trains, thameslink services are unable to call at st pancras international, farringdon, city thamesllnk or blackfriars stations because of power supply problems. south—eastern services are also unable to call at blackfriars. on the roads, slow towards the blackwall tunnel southern approach from the woolwich road flyover. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. well, in stark contrast to yesterday, today we've got

a cold, crisp start with plenty of sunshine. now it's going to stay dry as well, so those heavy downpours from yesterday are a distant memory — except for the puddles. so enjoy the sunshine today. it is going to feel much colder, that northerly flow, quite breezy, too. the temperature looking around 13—15 celsius as a maximum, so significantly colder. now we're in for a really chilly night as well under clear skies, the temperatures dropping right down. low single figures out towards the suburbs and beyond, there may even be a sparkle or two of frost tomorrow morning. a bright start to thursday but gradually the cloud is going to start to roll in, so turning hazy throughout the day, temperatures similar tomorrow. as we head through the end of thursday into friday, ex—hurricane lorenzo turning the weather rather wet and rather breezy for some part of friday, but temperatures start to feel just a little bit warmer as we head into the weekend. not a bad day at all ahead. i'm back in half—an—hour. more on our website

at the usual address. now though it's back to dan and louise. bye for now. good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: harry and meghan take the mail on sunday to court for publishing one of the duchess' private letters to her father. in an emotional statement, prince harry says "i lost my mother and now i watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces." borisjohnson's "take it or leave it" message to europe as he prepares to set out his final offer on brexit. checking out — the boss of tesco quits the retailer after five years in the top job. he says the turnaround he led is now complete, but i'll look at what his departure could mean. humiliation for spurs in the champions league. they are absolutely thumped 7—2 by bayern munich in what is the biggest home defeat of an english team in any european competition ever.

as renee zellweger and rufus sewell talk to us about their new film, she gives her take on dealing with the press pack. i wasn't thinking about what people think of how i look and i wasn't thinking about what this would mean and i could care less. good morning. after the rain some of us good morning. after the rain some of us had yesterday, much sunnier but also much cooler. i will have more later. it's wednesday the 2nd of october. prince harry has accused the press of "bullying" and "destroying lives". the emotional statement was released as the duchess of sussex announced she was suing the mail on sunday, over claims it unlawfully published one of her private letters to her estranged father. our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell reports from south africa where the couple are on tour.

it is this article in the mail on sunday earlier this year which is at the centre of the duchess's legal action. it quoted from a private letter she had written to his estranged father, thomas, at his home in mexico. the couple, who are in the final stages of their tour of southern africa, have now begun legal action in the duchess's name in the high court in london alleging breach of privacy and copyright infringement. in a strongly worded statement, the duke has said... harry says his deepest fear is history repeating itself. he writes... that is a remarkably outspoken statement. it is clearly a measure of how deeply the couple feel. they believe they have no option now

but to take a major newspaper group to court. nicholas witchell, bbc news, johannesburg. in just under ten minutes, we'll be speaking to the royal historian and commentator, kate williams. take it or leave it appears to be the message from borisjohnson this morning to the eu over brexit. the prime minister is expected to tell the conservative party conference that his latest plan is a "fair and reasonable compromise", but will warn there'll be no further negotiations if the eu fails to engage with his offer. let's speak to our political correspondent, iain watson. iain, what do we know about these proposals. we are led to believe we will get more details later on what this plan might be. the eu will get this plant today and i think we will find out what they will do about it by the end of the week but it will be framed as the final offer. a new deal or no deal. but if we are facing no deal, don't forget opposition mps have passed a law

saying brexit effectively has to be extended beyond the 31st of october. the james cleverly, the conservative party chairman said about half an hour ago, that is not going to happen. not going to seek an extension, we will be leaving on the 315t of october. we want to do so with a deal and if some pragmatism and flexibility can be applied by the eu and, if british politicians who have said they will vote for a deal if one is presented, stick to their word, we deal if one is presented, stick to theirword, we can deal if one is presented, stick to their word, we can leave on the 315t of october with a deal, which has always been the prime minister's preferred outcome. he was effectively saying boris johnson preferred outcome. he was effectively saying borisjohnson is going to try to reach out to labour mps and recently expelled conservatives to vote for any deal he brings back from the eu. but i think it will be tough getting that deal because we know he is proposing customs checks on the island of ireland. that has gone down very badly with the irish government. before they have even seen the deal

some people in the eu are saying is he putting impossible demands so he blames others for no deal? in his speech today, he will warn of grave consequences if we don't leave by halloween. it is extraordinary times, thank you very much for your analysis. a big month ahead. we talked about getting to the 31st of october, now we are in october, you feel so much closer. end of the month. the boss of tesco is to stand down, saying his turnaround of the uk largest retailer is now complete. dave lewis joined tesco in 201a and pushed through a controversial restructuring plan. during his time, the supermarket has cut thousands ofjobs and closed hundreds of stores in order to tackle competition from newer, cheaper rivals like aldi and lidl. mr lewis says his decision to step down next summer is a "personal one". a teenager accused of throwing a boy from a viewing platform at the tate modern in london can be

identified for the first time, because he's turned eighteen today. jonty bravery, who's from west london, has been charged with the six—year—old's attempted murder. an application to extend the reporting restriction protecting his identity was rejected by a judge yesterday. the boy's family have said he now struggles to speak or eat. proposals for a long—awaited new law to better protect victims of domestic abuse will be debated by mps today. the bill is expected to include provisions to place a legal duty on councils to offer secure homes for those escaping violence, and ban perpetrators from being able to directly cross—examine victims in court. breakfast‘s graham satchell reports. charlotte kneer runs a refuge in southern england. it provides shelter and help for up to 11 women and 2a children at any one time.

the government's domestic abuse bill comes back to the commons today after fears it would be lost when parliament was prorogued. it defines domestic abuse legally for the first time to include coercive, controlling behaviour, and will stop alleged perpetrators cross—examining victims in court. campaigners have welcomed the bill, but say it does not go far enough. i think, for us, the most important thing missing is the guarantee of funding for refuges and other specialist services. domestic abuse murders are at a five—year high. and, really, this is something that we and other campaigners have been saying — that unless a safe refuge is provided victims of domestic abuse, then sadly, murder rates will increase. the government insists victims of domestic abuse should be able to access appropriate support at the appropriate time, and the bill is, in their words, an opportunity to stamp out this devastating crime for good. but charities say there simply isn't enough support. 60% of people referred to refuges last year were turned away. local authority funding has dropped

by almost a third since 2010. charlotte's funding from her local authority is guaranteed for the next 12 months, but after that, she says, she doesn't know. graham satchell, bbc news. the mail on sunday says it will vigorously defend itself, after the duchess of sussex announced she's suing the paper for publishing a private letter she sent to her estranged father. last night, prince harry said what he calls the "painful" impact of intrusive media coverage had driven the couple to take action. let's speak to the royal commentator, kate williams, whojoins us from buckingham palace. good morning. thank you very much for talking to us about a subject which i think many people are discussing this morning, the rights and wrongs of this. nicholas witchell referred to it as an unprecedented statement because it was very, very, highly emotionally driven wasn't it, the statement from

prince harry? yes, you are so right. it was incredibly powerful. we have seen statements from prince harry before at the very early days of their dating, he issued a statement about the wave of abuse and harassment meghan markle are suffering, his girlfriend and he was upset he couldn't protect her. but this goes on about the malicious coverage, the false coverage, the relentless ca m pa ig n coverage, the false coverage, the relentless campaign and at the close, has this incredibly powerful reference to diana, prince harry is saying my greatest fear is history repeating itself. he has seen what happened to his mother and he sees his wife now falling victim to the same powerful forces. he his wife now falling victim to the same powerfulforces. he was his wife now falling victim to the same powerful forces. he was saying, this is an unprecedented statement and so often royals don't say anything, they make no comment. but clearly harry feels that isn't working and he has to both make complaints, which he has been doing and also launch a full—scale legal

action and make bigger statements about how this is affecting his wife and also affecting him. members of the royal family have taken legal action against the press before, but it is still a very significant step, a difference between complaining about coverage and then taking the press to court? yes, often what the royalfamily press to court? yes, often what the royal family have done before it has been intrusive photographs. the duchess of cambridge, the holiday photos in 2012, they sued the french magazine over those photographs, it is easy to prove but this is clearly on the legal question of copyright. because as you were saying, the letter, if you write a letter, the copywriters with the writer, even if you send it. the argument is, the mail on sunday has infringed its copyright by printing the letter. but the statement was about much than the letter, what harry said was this campaign, this propaganda and he said live, after a lie. it is not

just about the legal action, which is key and i think they have a very strong case, but also this whole statement last night is partly to the media saying, we are not going to sit back, we are going to fight back and also to public opinion saying, these stories are hurtful so think twice before you click on them. we have asked our viewers for their comments and we have had lots of response. rosie said, meghan and harry are within their rights to say what they have said. james has said, i support the duchess of sussex taking the mail on sunday to court. the letter was sent to her father, handwritten and what is more private than that? on the other side of that, she was in the public eye before she got married, the royal family in the public eye before she got married, the royalfamily are in the public eye before she got married, the royal family are always in the public eye. in essence, there is to be an expectation of this sort of intrusion into your life when you are leading the life that they lead. is that an argument that will work,

do you think when this case does go to the courts? that is the case, when the case will come, probably won't be until early next year. what is very clear here is there is a difference about coverage of meghan to coverage of the other royals. yes, they should be covered and they should be criticised if they make a mistake on at all, say the wrong thing, yes that should be covered. but private letters between the duchess and her father, but private letters between the duchess and herfather, they shouldn't be published, ifeel. what we see with meghan, everyone who marries into the royalfamily we see with meghan, everyone who marries into the royal family has a ha rd marries into the royal family has a hard time, they called the duke of edinburgh nazi. but meghan has had the worst criticism. what we see is what one royal is congratulated for, editing a magazine, kate editing the huffington post, meghan edits vogue and it is seen as catastrophic. we do see some unfair coverage and this

is the question, is it fair and is the coverage appropriate? because it is co nsta nt the coverage appropriate? because it is constant demand, we don't know about this about meghan, we need to know about that about meghan. we cannot know every detail and see everything and criticise often without fairness, the royals. there has to be a level of fairness. otherwise, they do live in a goldfish bowl and we are, what are we doing, we're putting them in this goldfish bowl and then them suffer. you touched on earlier about prince harry in the statement sort of likening the treatment of his wife to that of his mother, princess diana. louise put that point earlier to andrew pierce, a political commentator, works for the daily mail, the sister paper of the mail on sunday and he said it is an unfair comparison in his eyes because princess diana, throughout her life had a very complicated relationship with the press. do you

think that is a fair comparison that prince harry has made?” think that is a fair comparison that prince harry has made? i think it is afair prince harry has made? i think it is a fair comparison. i think diana did suffer this press intrusion and when she was within the royal family, she could control it, but outside the royalfamily, as could control it, but outside the royal family, as soon as the divorce was finalised, the press intrusion became very strong. she was followed everywhere, her life wasn't her own and photographers were put on trial for not helping her at the scene and taking photographs instead, which seems the extreme level of madness. soi seems the extreme level of madness. so i think it is a fair comparison and both diana was hunted down. i think that is what is happening to meghan. at the cambridge is, when they sued the french magazine in 2012, they invoke diana as well and talked about her memory. william and harry saw their mother suffer, couldn't do anything about it and it is very painfulfor them couldn't do anything about it and it is very painful for them to see their way wives, having their

privacy invaded. there has to be a limitand privacy invaded. there has to be a limit and this is where we draw the line. interesting to hear your take on that, professor kate williams, thank you very much. just to let you know, the mail on sunday have said... they will be defending the case vigorously and they denied the duchess' letter was edited in any way which changed its meaning. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. we are seeing some to psy—tu rvy good morning. we are seeing some topsy—turvy weather coming our way. but today, after the rain yesterday, it is going to be drier, sunny spells but it will feel cooler. if you are stepping out, cold start to the day. last night, temperatures fell to minus 2.2 celsius. showers

blown in on the breast, northerly wind. windy down the north sea coastline blowing in some showers. east anglia, cheshire, wales and one or two getting in across the midlands, the west midlands and northern ireland. but they will be the exception rather than the rule. temperatures ten to a0 degrees. yesterday was 21 in london so that isa yesterday was 21 in london so that is a drop. the wind starts to ease and we will hang onto a few showers and we will hang onto a few showers and clearer skies. pockets of frost here and there and also patchy mist and fog form forming across central and fog form forming across central and eastern areas. we have high cloud building and so not as cold. tomorrow starts with dry weather, fair bit of sunshine. high cloud coming in from the west, turning the sunshine hazy and then we see some rain coming in as well. accompanied by strengthening winds. this will be a forerunner to what will be ex hurricane lorenzo coming our way.

strong winds across western scotland, northern ireland, through the irish sea. north—west england, west of wales and south—west england with the rain. but moved to central and eastern areas and it is dry and it will be with highs tomorrow of nine to about 15. as we head to the latter pa rt nine to about 15. as we head to the latter part of tomorrow, thursday evening and overnight, see what happens. this is the remnants of x hurricane lorenzo. severe gales of the coast of northern ireland and the coast of northern ireland and the republic of ireland and also gales through the irish sea. we have this rain coming our way pushing across northern ireland and also parts of scotland, england and wales. moving east. as we pick it up on friday, you can see the track we expect this to take taking rain with it, but that is half the story. we are looking at severe gales along the coastlines of south—west wales, south—west england and gales across

the english channel, accompanied by this rain. move north of that we are into dry conditions but it won't feel quite as cold. thank you very much, see you in half—an—hour or so. we promised you another snippet of the chat of renee zellweger and louise. she turned up in her slippers. what a wonderfulfilm. i'm going to ask rufus the first question. yes. when you see her being judy, what do you think? i said this before, it's quite extraordinary, i met her asjudy before i met her as renee. it's kind of strange. i kind of knew who she was, but on the first day she had the teeth in, the hair on, and she was in the middle of filming a scene. so i got a mixture of the two, she wasn't in character, she didn't say hello, i'mjudy. but i was getting a bit ofjudy in with renee. the kids miss you and they

also want to stay put. i'm coming back for them. you are not listening. i have someone i can rely on now. # i'm going to love you! to look like her, did you watch lots of her, what did you do? oh yeah, everything i could find. there is this incredible collection of footage on the internet, thank you very much, youtube. and books and photographs and her interviews and her performances and all of that. and we threw everything at it initially, you know, the full thing. then rupert, the director, wanted to extract as much as possible, because he felt it was an obstruction between the truth of the story that we're trying to tell. so he wanted to dojust minimal changes so that it was familiar, but not an impersonation. the film started at a tough point in her life when you play herformer husband, and she is losing her children. she said you have to leave your children to make enough money to be with your children. that's devastating that that was her life, isn't it?

there were a lot of circumstances that were complicated in her life in her final chapter. what i love about this experience was it was the opportunity to contextualise those circumstances do sort of subvert the notion that she was a tragic figure. you know? she was a hero. when you consider what she had to overcome again and again to continue to perform at the level that people had come to expect of her, and with no rest, and with no moment to take care of the things that enabled her to take care of herself. ladies and gentlemen... ican't! what do you mean? there is an audience waiting for you to sing! my mouth is dry. let's talk about the singing as well, were you nervous doing it? oh, gosh! ifi if i could have avoided it, i would

have. oh, it was joyful. you know, it was a shared process, the whole thing. i was working with so many extraordinary people. the composer, i had jeff the producer, stephen the producer, i had three vocal coaches. a bunch of people. i missed all of that. # somewhere over the rainbow... the end of the film, i mean, you know, i cried. did you cry? it was tricky, i was sitting next to my son. so i was kind of pretending i was itching my forehead, halfway down my face. then the second time i was like, no, not again. this is ridiculous. have you been in touch with her family about it, when you are playing a person who is real life, there is a sense of responsibility, having spoken to them at all?” there is a sense of responsibility,

having spoken to them at all? i am glad you mentioned that, there is so much there. you want to represent someone and give them a fair shout. dojustice by it, you know. iwanted to be in touch with them before we started but circumstances were not on my side with that. i did meet lorna afterwards and her mutual friends. she is hilarious. have you ever interviewed her? no. she is hilarious, she has a show going on in london right now, i am going to go and see it. you say you hope to sneak to it, can you sneak to something? all the time. oh gosh, all the time. nobody is looking at the girl in the ugly clothes on the tube. i bet they do notice you. you took a six—year break, why did you wa nt to took a six—year break, why did you want to do that? it sounds so nice,

like i was on the beach drinking cocktails. you had a good sleep. wonderful nap. i was working in a different capacity. i was producing a lot of things, just all kinds of things, just different. i cannot be idle, i would things, just different. i cannot be idle, iwould be things, just different. i cannot be idle, i would be crazy.” things, just different. i cannot be idle, i would be crazy. i cannot ta ke idle, i would be crazy. i cannot take six days. i can. i am quite good at that. ijust take six days. i can. i am quite good at that. i just watch take six days. i can. i am quite good at that. ijust watch other actors and resent them. during that six years, when you weren't having arrests and working on other things, he went to an award ceremony and you went there and the tabloids piled m, went there and the tabloids piled in, as faras went there and the tabloids piled in, as far as i went there and the tabloids piled in, as faras i can see it went there and the tabloids piled in, as far as i can see it on the way you looked, how did that make you feel? i have to be honest, i didn't know what anybody was talking about. it came at a time in my life where i couldn't possibly care. my

friend was diagnosed with als a few months before and she had been struggling with the symptoms for about a year. we had just come back from mass general and she was losing her ability to speak and i was living at her house because i am the only one of her close friend who doesn't have a husband, children and the dayjob. doesn't have a husband, children and the day job. so you could be there? i wasn't thinking about what people think about howl i wasn't thinking about what people think about how i look and i wasn't thinking about what this would mean andl thinking about what this would mean and i could care less. it was on a list of things that fall off the page in considerations with what i was actually living with. it's not in the papers and it's not in the tabloids that you are talking about. i don't talk about howl tabloids that you are talking about. i don't talk about how i cry all night, every night listening to her cry. and i was able to do nothing for her. nothing, cannot do anything

for her. nothing, cannot do anything for her. nothing, cannot do anything for her but listen to her and hold herand for her but listen to her and hold her and pray for her. that's it. and when you contextualise the circumstances of a person's real life, you realise how insignificant their whispers and the ugly rumours that someone might project on to this, created narrative, that belongs to the persona can be. it means nothing. nothing. that really gives you a sense of perspective. this era where there is a lot of information out there and you talk about manipulation and all the rest of it. do you choose not to listen? what do you do about it?” of it. do you choose not to listen? what do you do about it? i don't have to choose because i don't engage in it and i don't see it unless i am at the supermarket and there is a tabloid cover and everybody knows that is just paper dolls. someone has created a story. rufus is mad! what are you saying?

everybody knows what that is. they are not so naive any more. you learn by making mistakes. i have learned not to worry about what will come from a job because you can rob yourself of joy with that. from a job because you can rob yourself ofjoy with that. to actually just take in yourself ofjoy with that. to actuallyjust take in the experience you are having because otherwise everything becomes about treating life as a stepping stone to some other imagined future. so now i try to enjoy, we do a couple of nice scenes and try not to be worried about what would become of it. can you imaginea about what would become of it. can you imagine a future where there is bridgetjones? you imagine a future where there is bridget jones? oh! when i was doing this interview, everybody goes, is she going to do another?” this interview, everybody goes, is she going to do another? i am not being coy, i don't know anything. i am usually the last to know. don't look at me like i know anything. do you know? yes, it is definite. she

is treated with so much love.” you know? yes, it is definite. she is treated with so much love. i love heras is treated with so much love. i love her as well. let's call her. fingers crossed. it is lovely to meet you. thank you very much indeed. nice to meet you. her laugh was infectious, you could hear her laughing down the corridor. she was absolutely lovely. i know you finished with a good laugh, but the bit in the middle when she was talking about the famous photograph? it gives you a sense that you may see a photograph but you have no idea what the back story is and what people might be going through. you look at a picture and you make a judgment instantly, it will make me think of for the next time i see something like that about the back story and why that person looks that way particular and what they have been through and what their friends have been through as well. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. it will feel chilly this afternoon. maximum temperature is about ten, 11 to maybe 1a or 15 celsius. lower than they were yesterday in the southin than they were yesterday in the south in particular.

the remnants of ex hurricane lorenzo will be moving here, that will give us strong winds.

this is business live from bbc news with tadhg enright and susannah streeter. india's plastic crackdown. how narendra modi plans to conquer the country's rubbish mountains. live from london, that's our top story on wednesday, the 2nd of october. putting the environment or the economy first? india has held off imposing a blanket ban on single—use plastics because it is being seen as too disruptive for business. and the british prime minister, borisjohnson, prepares to reveal his plans to seal a brexit deal but warns it will be his
