good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and dan walker. our headlines today. detectives in the harry dunn case head to the us to interview the diplomat‘s wife who left the uk after being involved in the crash that killed him. this morning his parents will be with us exclusively to give their reaction to the latest developments. borisjohnson launches a final bid to deliver his brexit deal but he faces oppositon from mps angry at the lack of time given to examine the detail. going green. zero—emission cars could get green number plates under plans to identify cleaner vehicles. the scheme could offer incentives, like cheaper parking or being able to drive in bus lanes.

i'll look at the proposals. the fa suggests the use of concussion substitutes in football following research which suggests former players are more likely to die of dementia. good morning. any early morning fog we re good morning. any early morning fog were lift and then for most dry with sunny spells developing but becoming increasingly wet and windy in the north and north—west. more in 15 minutes. it's tuesday the 22nd of october. our top story. british detectives are to fly to the united states to interview the woman involved in a car crash that killed teenager harry dunn. anne sacoolas, the wife of an american diplomat, is alleged to have been driving on the wrong side of the road in august when her car hit harry's motorbike in northamptonshire. she left the uk claiming diplomatic immunity shortly afterwards. ben ando reports.

six days ago, harry dunn's mother and father went to the white house. during a meeting with president trump they were offered the chance to talk to the diplomat‘s wife suspected of killing their son but they said no. northamptonshire police said officers will travel to the us hoping to speak to anne sacoolas, pictured here 16 years ago, and that may lead to an extradition request. harry dunn died on august the 27th when his motorbike was hit by a car driving on the wrong side of the road. anne sacoolas was interviewed by police. on september the 5th of the foreign office asked for her diplomatic immunity to be waived. she then left the uk, the police were told the day after, but did not pass the information on to harry's family for a further ten days. the foreign secretary told mps the case has prompted an enquiry into how diplomatic immunity is used and

possibly abused. as this case is demonstrated, i do not believe the current arrangements are right and the review will look at how we can make sure the arrangements cannot be used in this way again. it is eight weeks since harry died on this stretch of road near his home in northamptonshire. for his family, the delays in releasing information and ongoing arguments about legal process a re and ongoing arguments about legal process are making their loss even harder to face. we'll be speaking to harry dunn's parents at around 8:10. borisjohnson is urging mps to back his brexit deal as he launches a final push for the uk to leave the european union by the end of the month. if mps vote to back the plans, three days of intensive debate will begin in the commons, but some are warning that's not enough time to properly scrutinise the details. our political correspondent nick eardley reports. the government's new plan to deliver brexit next week. 110 pages. legislation which, if it passes, will pave the way

for the uk to leave the eu. ahead of today's debate, the prime minister said, but opposition parties are angry. they think the government is moving too fast by proposing to give mps just three days to scrutinise the bill. at every stage, mr speaker, the government has been running scared of this house and democracy and it's now attempting to force through a flawed brexit deal which sells out people's jobs, rights and our communities. mps will vote later on the basic ideas in the legislation. if they give the green light, they will then vote on the government's timetable. if ministers lose, it will be a big blow.

but if mps agree, line by line scrutiny begins. the next few days won't be plain sailing, because opposition parties are going to try and change the legislation to include things like a closer relationship with the eu and a second referendum on whether we leave at all — either of which would throw borisjohnson‘s plans into disarray. things at westminster have been far from straightforward recently. the next few days will have some twists and turns, too. our political correspondent helen catt is in westminster for us now. we have a printout of the withdrawal agreement bill, a hefty document, 110 pages. it is about the timetable, whether there will be enough time to discuss this properly. yes, if boris johnson wa nts to properly. yes, if boris johnson wants to meet the deadline we have a lawful leaving, next thursday, which he has been clear he does not want to change, he had to get this

technical bill through both houses of parliament, through all stages, by next thursday. that is a hard ask and there are a lot of points where it could fall apart, starting today. as you heard, today it needs to pass a vote of mps to move onto the next phase. the government thinks it has the numbers but we do not know so it will be the first test of that. if it passes that, it will move on to the committee stage where mps will try to change it using amendments. the risk to borisjohnson there is if there are big changes to the deal which makes it significantly different to what was agreed with the eu he might decide to put it entirely if it passes. it has to pass another vote on thursday and repeat the process again so there are points where it could fall down. if the bill fails we are left with looking at no deal exit or more likely, the eu granting an extension

because of the request put in the weekend. and there is the issue of timing, mps have to vote on whether to follow the timetable at all. 0k. we will speak to mps later. to get their view. i have just we will speak to mps later. to get their view. i havejust been flicking through it and i do not understand any of it. good job it is not myjob too. we will be talking about it later. abortion has been decriminalised and same—sex marriage is to be legalised in northern ireland, after a landmark ruling came into effect at midnight. the first same—sex weddings in northern ireland could take place as soon as february next year, and the government has until the end of march to provide regulations which will make abortion services available. our ireland correspondent chris page explains. five, four, three, two, one! celebrating change after years of campaigning. same—sex couples have argued that being able

to marry was about equality. the law, which was brought in at midnight, means that from early next year, gay couples will be able to take wedding vows in northern ireland. do you know that people now can have the choice and they can say we want a civil partnership, or we want a marriage. we are the same. not the same, but we are equal to straight people. that is wonderful news. people who have campaigned against the move say they will now focus on making sure faith groups who don't want to carry out same—sex marriages don't have to. it's not something that we support, the redefinition of marriage, but if that's what society wants, then we want the best protections possible for everybody in our society. the right to choose! abortion is another issue which has generated demonstrations and debate for decades. it's now been decriminalised in this part of the uk and ministers in london have five months to decide how abortions will be provided. i won't have to say this is not a day of celebration for the unborn.

unionist politicians at the stormont assembly failed in a last—ditch attempt to keep the near ban on terminations. the devolved government is still not operating nearly three years after it collapsed. hours, but the law has now changed radically on two touchstone social issues here. chris page, bbc news, belfast. a man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering two teenagers at a house party in milton keynes on saturday night. police believe the 17—year—olds, named locally as dom ansah and ben gillham—rice, were stabbed in a targeted attack. the 21—year—old has also been arrested on two counts of attempted murder. in canada, it's thought justin trudeau's liberal party has retained power, but as a minority government. the vote has been seen as a test of mr trudeau's popularity, after he faced criticism for not delivering on previous election pledges. the liberals are expected to claim

the most seats in parliament, but will have to rely on support from other parties to govern. drivers of electric cars may soon be able to use special green number plates to help them benefit from incentives for cleaner vehicles, such as cheaper parking and being able to drive in bus lanes. it's part of plans that hope to boost electric car sales and help the government achieve its target of net zero emissions by 2050. the rac says it's unsure whether the proposals would really encourage drivers to make the switch to electric. you could have it as a badge of honour, a green numberplate. but would it match the colour of your car? what if you had a green car and it clashes? that would be disaster. it would be awful. a yellow car and a green numberplate. i have thrown the cat among the pigeons. fa ncy among the pigeons. fancy a bit of noise? always. alarm-like sound.

that sounds to me like a smoke alarm. it is quite loud. it's actually the sound of the world's noisiest bird. it isa it is a good wattle. what? a wattle. named after its bell—like call, the white bellbird was recorded at 125 decibels. here's some more facts about the bird — males are white but for their black wattle and females are mainly green and yellow. their party trick is swallowing fruit holes. i was going to say, they have a big gob. we say it can swallow fruit holes.

we say it can swallow fruit holes. we are not talking about melons here, come on. maybe a plum or a great. she has gone. we have a packed programme today. john is with us doing the sport. remember the documentary by alan shearer, talking about a link between footballers heading heavy footballs and dementia ? i think that is whatjeff astle's daughter is campaigning on. and this research has been commissioned, they found that former players are three and a half more times more likely to die from conditions such as dementia. dementia —related conditions? exactly. as a result of this we could see changes being introduced.

the fa say they'll be pushing for concussion substitutes, after new research found that former professional footballers were more likely to die of dementia than people of the same age range in the general population. the study followed claims that former west brom strikerjeff astle died because of repeated head trauma. sheffield united beat arsenal last night — their biggest win since returning to the premier league. it lifts them up into the top half of the table. england defender lucy bronze has made the shortlist for this year's women's ballon d'or, after a great season for her country, and club lyon. ellen white is also named, and virgil van dijk is one of seven liverpool players on the 30—man shortlist. and the comeback continues for andy murray — he'll represent great britain for the first time in three years at the new—look davis cup finals next month. we ta ke we take it for granted. another tournament for andy murray.

now he is back. thejourney he has been on. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily mail leads on the story that prince william is "worried" about his brother, prince harry. prince william is said to be hoping the duke and duchess of sussex "are all right" after they told an itv documentary they were struggling. the guardian leads with boris johnson's final attempt to force brexit through by the end of the month. the paper says there are growing signs he is planning to once again push for a general election. the times reports that the uk's population is set to increase by three million over the next decade — with 80 % of this growth driven by immigration. the picture is of activists gathering at stormont yesterday. the mirror also features images of prince harry and his brother —

but leads on a story about footballers reporting experts have found ex—players are more than three times more likely to die of dementia—related illness than people of the same age range in the general population. let's ta ke let's take a look at what is going on inside. this shocked me this morning. if you are looking for a job, may be not great news. the first seven words you may utter in a job interview could determine whether you will get it, and how much you are paid. what they have done is put 274 recruitment people together and made them listen to audio recordings of interviews and the majority said the first seven words led to a snap judgment based on class and that meant later on they decided whether they would hire the person, how much they would hire the person, how much they are paid and what bonus they get. good afternoon, nice to meet you.

that is six. still not hiring you! it is astonishing. they use it to infer competence, fitness for the job, socioeconomic position. we all do it. make snap judgments? it should not determine someone's career. it is human nature. and another about the workplace. a lot of firms moving towards banning you being able to access e—mails after hours. a number of firms in the uk and abroad have done it but a new study said it could be detrimental because some staff like to have control over what they do and maybe they like to spend an hour in the evening catching up on getting ahead. but there is software 110w getting ahead. but there is software now that can physically stop you doing it. against the law in france? against the law in france? a number of countries. and a picture of a shark.

this was taken just off the coast of mexico. that is a big mouth. you have to be brave to take that picture. it is taken by this fella. i think he was in the boat. you talk about the mouth of the bird earlier. this could swallow a melon. he said when he was a few feet from the mouth, the mouth was able to ta ke 50 the mouth, the mouth was able to take 50 lb of meat. but he was not scared. the research that came out, some of the figure is the study looking at 7676 former players. compared to 23,000 individuals from the general population, which gives you details behind the study but it says a fivefold increase in alzheimer's disease. the research on former

players. a fourfold increase in motor neurone disease. it shows the extent of the research and conditions those former players have suffered with. it was brought about by the 50th anniversary gathering of some of the 1966 world cup winners saying a number could not attend. nobby stiles and ray wilson had been diagnosed with dementia earlier. no sign of jack charlton, diagnosed with dementia earlier. no sign ofjack charlton, martin peters was not there. they are players who gave so much for their country but in light of how they are struggling, many could not attend a big celebration. the 50th anniversary of winning the world cup and they could not be there as a result of how they are feeling. they wanted this research. a lot of news today in the papers. steph is no longer going to be sitting over there.

if you missed the news yesterday... i want to make sure we are reporting this accurately. she is off to channel 4. she is off to channel 4. she is off to channel 4. she is having a baby later this year. we wish her well. and then she will be fronting the steph show. a current affairs programme. i like it. you know you have made it when they name it after you. and you do not need a second name. the best name for a tv show, david gower‘s cricket monthly. that tells you everything about the programme. who what it is about and when it is on. that is so boring. david is a lovely man. one of the great programmes, that was. what shall we call your weather?

mixed is probably a good term. we have everything going on with the weather. to start, it is cold, colder than it was this time yesterday. for most, it will be mainly dry. there is rain across the north and west of scotland and we will see more as weather fronts approach. gusty winds, as well. further south, high pressure. approach. gusty winds, as well. furthersouth, high pressure. first thing this morning across central and southern parts, fog patches. they will lift and sunny spells will develop. we have cloud around in the sun will break through and then rain coming in from the west and across the north. temperatures almost where we should be at this stage in october. 11—15. as we head through the evening and overnight you can see the rain advances. into the

north—west of northern ireland and then getting into the west. gusty winds around. further south, we will see a break in the cloud and we could see some fog patches forming. temperatures indicate what you can expect in towns and cities. in rural areas, it will be colder. but not cold where we have the cloud, rain and wind. as we head into tomorrow, this front comes in from the continent, close to the south—east. not very breezy here. in the north and the west, we are looking at weather fronts coming our way. windy, gusty winds with exposure particularly. this is the rain coming in. clearance in the sky and sunshine coming through. temperatures, once again, 11 in the north to 15 as we push down towards

the south. wednesday into thursday, a weather front for a time in the south—east producing rain. this move south—east producing rain. this move south—east from the north—west, bumping the other one back off into the near continent. it means a fair bit of cloud in the southeast with the chance of a shower. rain coming in across north—west parts of scotla nd in across north—west parts of scotland and northern ireland, sweeping south—east on that cold front. gusty winds, particularly with exposure in the north and north—west and temperatures 11—16. as we head into friday we lose that front from the south—east. the squeeze on the isobars tells you it will be quite windy. and another front coming up from the south—west. thursday and friday, uncertainty, particularly on friday. but this is what we think. the rain coming in, pushing north—east, as it bumps into

colder air, we see snow on the mountains. the mountains of scotland and the tops of the pennines. south of that, it is mild. 13—15, but only eight as we push up to aberdeen. so, if you are in the north of scotland on friday, you will feel that. we have just had on friday, you will feel that. we havejust had one on friday, you will feel that. we have just had one of our team saying, that is the day i go on holiday. we are not talking to him the rest of the show. i think we should name and shame. pete, there you go. u nfortu nately, pete pete, there you go. unfortunately, pete is in charge of the cameras. we need him. three hours to be nice to him. enjoy your holiday. it is a strange time to think about this. but what do you feel about this subject? what do you want to happen to your body after you die? would you consider donating it to science?

yes. have you thought about it? i did a radio programme about this. i had never considered it before. it was about also, if you were to die, what would you do with your body? we spoke to a family who had that decision to make about their daughter. i wonder if it is more important to those left behind rather than to you. they said that it is always better to think about these things beforehand than having to make a decision. it is like organ donation. with more medical students enrolling than ever before, there's a shortage of bodies for them to practise on and more are desparately needed, and it is a sensitive subject. as breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin has been finding out. this is dennis. he died when he was 84. but death wasn't the end. because he is still going on another journey. there was more to be done? yeah.

because when dennis died, instead of going to the undertakers he was taken to the london school of anatomy. there is a phrase which is sort of, it is the final act of giving, isn't it? yeah. that generation very much has the idea of making the most of everything that you have. nothing is wasted. and the ripple effect of doing that... yeah, i mean you can't even begin to think of the numbers of people that your body might influence. actually, we don't have to imagine. we have calculated that from one single body donation, it can affect the lives of around 10 million patients. my goodness! for the very first time, our cameras are allowed in to follow first—year medical students as they meet their first body donors. you have never had the cameras in with the students

on day one, have you? no. we haven't. this is a first. what are we going to see? you are going to see the true reaction of students. it is going to be my first time seeing a cadaver. quite a landmark moment, really. you're going to see, really, how they feel about it. nervous? yes. and to really start to explore the intricacies of the human form. shall we go? this is a massive moment for medical students. it is actually quite like a rite of passage. and with that goes the need for the utmost respect in every single thing we do. this is the university's biggest intake of medical students ever. and that means they need more bodies. in fact, they have had to import 50 body parts in the last 12 months because of the shortage. who have we got in the room then? we have michael with us today. we have ronald, diana, derek. our team is with michael? our team is doing michael.

this is dorothy who is 100! that's amazing, isn't it? it is amazing, yeah. the mood is calm and studious as they work with michael who will have died within the last three weeks. over the dissection period this year whilst we are with michael, i am going to try and keep referring to him by his name. he is my first patient, basically, and that helps me to be mindful of the fact of the great gift that he has given us, you know, in being able to learn from him. i know that this experience today would stay with those students for ever. do you remember your first body? i do remember, yeah. his first name was frank and i have always been grateful to frank for that gift that he gave us as students. two years after his death, ann received her dad's ashes back from the medical school. and at his memorial lunch, dennis proved an inspiration. not only did we celebrate my dad's life but we potentially got other people to think

about donating their bodies and starting a trend. that's brilliant, isn't it? yeah. that is brilliant! go, yourdad! i love it. a trendsetter. that is something to think about. send us your thoughts. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, i'm asad ahmad. nearly three years to the day after the croydon tram crash, which killed seven people, work will only start today to install an automatic breaking system. the crash was caused by a speeding tram — but new techology will detect how fast they're going, on ‘high risk‘ parts of the route and force them to slow down. it's the first system of its kind in europe. londoners are being encouraged by the ambulance service

to get the training they need deal with someone having a cardiac arrest. rachael eckley, on the left, suffered a heart attack in a coffee shop, butjudy domoney — a stranger at the time — gave her lifesaving treatment. currently survival rates are fewer than 1 in 10 — although that can be massively improved. if somebody has collapsed, the most important thing is to find out whether they are still breathing, so you check to see if they are breathing. if they are not, you need to call for an ambulance as quickly as possible and then you need to start doing chest compressions. so that's pressing down on the middle of the chest hard and fast. bbc london has been given rare access to the ‘untouched' studio of the late lucian freud, who died several years ago at the age of 88. his work space is exactly as it was in 2011 and we were allowed in ahead of a new self—portrait exhibition opening next week at the royal academy in piccadilly. so the paint on the walls is when... lucian always worked holding a palette.

and he'd mix the colours on his palette and then the colours he did not want he would then scrape off the palette and put them on the wall. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes, there are severe delays on the circle line due to late finishing engineering works. and a signalfailure in hammersmith is causing severe delays on the hammersmith and city line. district line is part suspended. on the roads — in wandsworth, the a3 west hill remains closed between the upper richmond road and tibbets corner for gas works. while in peckham, peckham rye is closed between east dulwich road to strakers road by police. now the weather with kate. good morning. it's quite a chilly start for some of us this morning. we had a clear sky last night which in turn has led to mist to mist and fog as well, but once it lifts we have a day of fairly decent sunny spells. just a gentle south—westerly breeze to contend with. mist and fog lifts to an afternoon of mainly fine,

dry and sunny weather. temperatures today 14—15 celsius. overnight tonight, variable amounts of cloud. some lengthy clear spells, which again in turn could lead to mistiness by dawn. a bit more cloud moving up from the south—east as we head into wednesday morning. minimum temperature between 6—8 celsius. that cloud will continue to migrate across through the course of wednesday. fairly thick, but largely dry. temperatures again in the mid—teens. thursday, similar conditions. temperatures the same. you might get the odd spot of rain. things turning increasingly more unsettled towards the end of friday and into the first part of the weekend. va nessa vanessa feltz is on bbc radio london in halfan vanessa feltz is on bbc radio london in half an hour. i'll be back in half an hour. hello this is breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty.

it. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning. would green number plates and the chance to drive in the bus lane encourage you to buy an electric car? we'll take a look at proposals aimed at making our roads more environmentally friendly. back in the uk after their visit to the white house, the parents of harry dunn will be here on the sofa as their fight for justice continues. and later, we'll catch up with former breakfast presenter bill turnbull, who's let cameras follow his life for a year after being diagnosed with cancer. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. british detectives are to fly to the united states, to interview the woman involved in a car crash, that killed teenager harry dunn. anne sacoolas, the wife of an american diplomat, is alleged to have been driving

on the wrong side of the road in august, when her car hit harry's motorbike in northamptonshire. she left the uk claiming diplomatic immunity shortly afterwards. borisjohnson is urging mps to back his brexit deal, as he launches a final push for the uk to leave the european union by the end of the month. if mps vote to back the plans, three days of intensive debate will begin in the commons. however, some are warning that's not enough time to properly scrutinise the details. abortion has been decriminalised and same—sex marriage is to be legalised in northern ireland, after a landmark ruling came into effect at midnight. the first same—sex weddings are set to take place in february 2020, and the government has until the end of march to provide regulations which will make abortion services available. a man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering two teenagers at a house party in milton keynes on saturday night. police believe the 17—year—olds, named locally as dom ansah and ben gillham—rice, were stabbed in a targeted attack. the 21 year—old has also been arrested on two counts of attempted murder. in canada, it's thought

justin trudeau's liberal party has retained power, but as a minority government. the vote has been seen as a test of mr trudeau's popularity, after he faced criticism for not delivering on previous election pledges. the liberals are expected to claim the most seats in parliament, but will have to rely on support from other parties to govern. england has been named the world's second best tourist destination for 2020. the lonely planet travel guide said that despite the uncertainty over brexit, the country's historic castles, rolling hills and beautiful coasts all make it worth a visit. the kingdom of bhutan in the himalayas topped the list. that surprised me this morning! it's absolutely brilliant. makes me think about most occasions. somewhere in the caribbean came third. it reminds me of that song. i will sing it in

my head and tell you later. their time now is 6:34am. john, you are taking a look at an issue that has been discussed for years. heading the football and the impact of that on players as they get old and dementia. evidence of dementia being related to this. that was the concern of families. that was the concern of families. that was the link, the heavy leather footballs and the stitching, could have that then causing it? could there be a leg between heading the football. there are suggestions from former footballs is a 3.5 times more likely to die from conditions such as dementia and head trauma. it is a significant breakthrough. we wonder 110w significant breakthrough. we wonder now what will come next. concussion substitutes in football are one of the things being pushed for by the fa,

to help deal with the effects of head injuries in the sport. it comes after new research found that former players are more likely to die of dementia than people of the same age range in the general population. that followed claims that former west brom strikerjeff astle died because of repeated head trauma. one of the things we are pushing very hard on today — and i have spoken to both uefa and fifa today — is to introduce concussion substitutes as quickly as possible. so if anybody has a head injury, you don'tjust have a doctor looking at them quickly and saying, you're ok, you're not ok, you can send somebody else on to play while that player is assessed, to make sure we move away from time pressure on doctors to make really important health decisions. what a win for sheffield united last night, their biggest since returning to the premier league — they beat arsenal 1—0 at bramhall lane. summer signing lys moussett with the goal, on his first start for the club. defeat for arsenal means that they stay fifth, as sheffield united move into the top half of the table.

england's lucy bronze and ellen white have been shortlisted for this year's women's ballon d'or award. bronze was named uefa player of the year in august, after winning the silver ball at the world cup. she's one of six lyon players on the list, which also includes four members of the usa's co—captains megan rapinoe and alex morgan. and virgil van dijk is one of seven liverpool players to be shortlisted for the men's award — the champions league winners have more players on the list than any other club. cristiano ronaldo and lionel messi are included once again — they've won the award 10 times between them. when bury were removed from the fa cup, there was always going to be one team getting a bye into the second round. and last night, when the draw was made, the last side left in the pot was chichester city, the lowest—ranked club in the competition. they play in the eighth—tier. they'll get £36,000 in prize money — and they said they'd be making a donation to bury.

the head coach said someone was filming from this morning. security spotted someone with a long lens. england take on new zealand. they are worried their tactics could be leaked. now, after that incredible comeback on sunday night, when he won his first tour title after coming back from injury, andy murray will represent great britain at the davis cup for the first time in three years. he was instrumental in their victory in 2015 and he's been named in the squad for next month's new look finals in madrid, joining his brotherjamie, neal skupski and dan evans. the fifth place will be between cameron norrie and kyle edmund — who yesterday suffered his eighth—straight defeat. and finally, have a look at this... because in my opinion

the start is the best. as freestyle skier andri ragettli, leaps on a bike for a training routine which helps with balance and core stability. we wa nt we want to make sure we are really selling it. he has done one of these videos before. this is his next attempt. do you know how many times he attempted this before he got it right? it's not as easy as he makes it look though, this was his 232nd attempt! we were saying,... if mike needs to work on his footwork, this is the perfect routine. here we go. i feel i have given it such a big build—up... it i have given it such a big build—up. .. it has i have given it such a big build—up... it has gone horribly wrong. this is perhaps the hardest bit of the whole move. i mean, look

at that! as good as i promised or not? we are also at about a minute ago! for me, it was the flip of the skateboard. everyone has their preferred picks. we should get a video of you doing it. that is going to end in tears. it is 20 minutes to seven. if mps get behind boris johnson's brexit deal today, they'll have three days to debate the details in the commons. some mps say that's not enought time. so what chance does the prime minister have of getting enough mps on board in order to leave the eu with a deal by the end of the month? joining us now is sherelle jacobs from the daily telegraph and the daily mirror's nicola bartlett. good morning to you both. let me get an overall quick thought from both of you. it is three days enough,

will it happen by october 31? don't think that we will see brexit by october 31. the vote to watch as the programme motion, whether mps will agree to this truncated timetable in order to get the brexit legislation over the line and time. there is a backlash against theirs. when speaking to tory mps who intend to vote for some kind of deal and get behind borisjohnson, vote for some kind of deal and get behind boris johnson, for example. some of those 21 tory mps have been expeued some of those 21 tory mps have been expelled and put inside the party. they say this is not enough. the real problem that the prime minister has is that he was unable to demonstrate a majority for his deal through a meaningful vote yesterday. that has emboldened a lot of mps know to try and soften and amend the

deal. i can smell stagnant stalemate in the air, unfortunately today. does not send to president —— pleasant. nicola, what do you think? there is this tantalising hope that this can be done in a week. there is lots of mps really concerned about... they have got the bill last night. it is 110 pages and they were trying to skim through in order to put down amendments to it this morning. so that is things like customs union and second reference referendum. that is a lot to ask people to read that much to digester it and so on. there is a backlash. the problem is the backlash is coming from those who want to stop brexit altogether, so it does not always ring true. there is almost a majority for boris johnson's deal. a

lot of it does come down to how this plays out. as ken clarke said yesterday, if there is a majority or if there is there is that kind of support, why not extend for a few weeks to get this done properly. the problem is that borisjohnson has the his whole reputation on october 31. how does that make you feel? you have got ken clarke as you rightly said, nicola. the date was not selected by the british public are the government, it was a compromise. then you hear that the prime minister is concerned that his reputation at staked against theirs. do you think we are about to see the prime minister say, fine, i can live with my reputation are my words being kind of dissolve now in order for this to be done in an orderly fashion? there are already hints that the government has accepted that the government has accepted that there probably will be an

extension. they are trying to distance themselves as much as possible from that. they want to blame the speaker, blame parliament and they have reason to a large extent. you can also see it through some of the supreme court staff, through the letter. narrowly adhering to the law in terms of not signing the letter but still sending it and signing the letter but still sending itandi signing the letter but still sending it and i do not think that it would necessarily come from the government's perspective, do any harm to the optics of theirs if there is some kind of showdown in there is some kind of showdown in the courts. because it starts to look like an establishment plot to stop brexit. the government can say they are not the ones to blame for an extension. i definitely think that behind the scenes that there is, people are coming to terms with the idea of an extension but they are worried about what might happen still politically if they are not

able to leave on october 31. not least for the brexit party, kicking and be able to say that the prime minister promised something that he has not been able to deliver. if there is no solution in sight in terms of how the prime minister gets a brexit deal over the line and the coalition of people he has got together to support this deal is extremely precarious. you have got brexiteers against those who are more towards the remain side. and that coalition could fall apart. nicola, yourfinal that coalition could fall apart. nicola, your final thoughts on this. america is not a fan of this deal. it has been said that it is worse than theresa may's deal. —— the daily mail. what do you think the main discussion points will be? workers' rights is something the labour party has brought up time and time again. boris johnson was trying

to get a number of labour mps who represented leave seats. people like lisa mandy who said that yesterday she was willing to vote for theirs if it could be amended to have the protections that she is interested then. when you get down to amendments, things get complicated. that is what we are looking at this week, in theory if everything went as planned, this could all be done and dusted. but when you get down to the programme motion, if parliament takes control of the itinerary, they are likely to push it to go longer and longer. workers' rights as a sticking point. there does not seem to bea sticking point. there does not seem to be a numbers for us customs union ora to be a numbers for us customs union or a second referendum as there never has been for all honesty. but protection for workers' rights, if you look at the bill it is very flimsy and that will be at a sticking point. we will all watch to

see what amendments have been laid down this morning. it is 100 and ten -- it is in down this morning. it is 100 and ten —— it is in my hand, 110 pages. it doesn't look flimsy. thank you both very much forjoining us this morning. they had a lot of time to print this off this morning. we are only going to have one copy for the office because we are not wasting any more paper. very, very good point. 6:47am is the time. carol has gone misty forest this morning. for us. we have got mist in central and southern... it is patchy so it could be difficult conditions. we have a chilly start. we have rain across parts of northern and western

scotland. we have all these fronts coming our way. through the course of the day, breezy, gusty winds with exposure. when the mist and fog lifts, we have gentle breezes and will start to see some holes developing in the cloud. and sunny spells will develop. northern ireland and southern scotland, it will stay cloudy today with some rain that i was talking about. as a weather front approaches, the cloud will thicken and the rain not getting into the hebrides at this point. the far north of mainland scotla nd point. the far north of mainland scotland and northern else will see the rain. temperatures bang on when they should be at this stage in october, 11—15d. this evening and overnight, a weather front gets over northern ireland and western scotland, it crosses the far north of scotla nd scotland, it crosses the far north of scotland into the northern else. for the rest of england and wales, clear skies around. some patchy mist

and fog again forming and for northern ireland's cloud and that will be ahead of the weather front. a chilly night for most, not if you are under the cloud, rain and gusty winds. we will have the scenario again tomorrow. thus winds tomorrow, come further south, breezes. this weather front from the near continent taking a swipe at south east england. it will bring more cloud. it will have some showery outbreaks of rain on it on and off through the day but we have this dry slice coming up from south—west england, wales and the midlands. we will see some sunshine. we will see some sunshine in the north east of scotland. that's rain in the west and in the north. by the time we go from wednesday into thursday, we say goodbye to the weather front. it is moved away by this cold front moving south. behind the cold front we

start to pull in some colder air. here is the front to start the day in the south east. introducing cloud and cherry outbreaks of rain. a dry slot behind it butjust a few showers here and there, they will be the exception rather than the rule. we have our next run pushing in across the north and the west of scotla nd across the north and the west of scotland and northern ireland. that will have some rain in it and gusty winds, potentially costing 60, 50 five miles per hour in the north and north—west of scotland. by the time we get to friday, we have said goodbye to the front in the south east. our cold front is weakening. behind it it will feel colder and then we have another front coming in from the south—west. it is a messy picture. we start with a dry note. we have this rain coming in from the south—west, this could change. keep in touch with the weather forecast. when it bumps into the cold air in the mountains in scotland and pennines, we will see some snow but

on the tops of the mountains. it will feel colder in the north, still got mild air in the south. i know you are looking forward to hear from i know you are looking forward to hearfrom bill turnbull i know you are looking forward to hear from bill turnbull later on. it will be great to have him here. 8:40am, we will have him here to talk about it stop i am so excited to hear how he is getting on. a lot of affection for that man. it is nine minutes to seven. drivers of zero emission cars could be given green number plates to help them benefit from incentives for cleaner vehicles. ben's been taking a look. so what can be done about that? yes, it's interesting. we are not talking about a green l.

let's be clear about that. this is designed to get more people to go electric. but it's proved more of a challenge than expected, because we're just so used to driving diesel and petrol cars. the vast majority of cars on the road are petrol and diesel. together they account for 93% of all the cars we drive. hybrid ones — the half and half petrol—electric — account for 6% and all—electricjust 196. that number is growing. in the first nine months of the year over 25,000 all—electric cars were registered. but people are still worried about cost — and range — how far you can drive before needing to recharge.

the government wants at least half of new car sales to be ultra low emission by 2030. and one idea — to make electric cars more attractive is to use special green number plates — to make them identifiable to local authorities. those vehicles could then be given special access to bus lanes or pay less for parking. this is what drivers in bristol thought about it. to be honest, it is incentive enough having an electric car. the incentive is there it isjust the initial cost is kind of a barrier for anyone to get into, i think. i don't like driving on a bus lane. i would be up forjust driving an electric car because it is better for the planet. but, yeah.

yeah. i think it is the same. it is the cost of the electric car versus just getting a car that's going to do you for now. i think if the initial cost was lower then more people would buy electric cars. because i travel to sheffield to work and it's difficult getting there with the amount of traffic and congestion. so, yeah, that would cut came down as well. yeah. there's too many cars on the roads anyway and i think a better incentive would be to make the buses cheaper and cleaner and more people will use them and make life generally better for everybody. we have got all the ideas but will they work? here's what they could look like. they have been trialled in places like norway and canada. in ontario, drivers of electric vehicles were given free access to toll lanes. the city subsequently saw an increase in electric vehicle registrations. but, the body that represents the bus industry thinks we should be moving people out of their cars onto the bus, not moving the cars into the bus lanes. friends of the earth said without better financial incentives and more charging points, little would change.

quite a significant change in getting people into green cars. one idea to get green numberplates. you know my thing about it, what if you already have a green coloured car? is green not your colour?|j already have a green coloured car? is green not your colour? i would never have a green coloured car, no. our first never have a green coloured car, no. ourfirst car, when my mum and dad got a car. it was a voxel and it was a great grass green. we were so excited about it. i always buy black ca rs. excited about it. i always buy black cars. it's because i'm lazy, i don't wash the car. we were talking a while ago about orange cars. it was one of the most popular colours. i suggested anyone who had an orange car...i suggested anyone who had an orange car... igot suggested anyone who had an orange car... i got all these messages.

super popular. 90% were orange.|j remember that day. lots of people we re remember that day. lots of people were sending in pictures of orange ca rs were sending in pictures of orange cars because were sending in pictures of orange ca rs because you were sending in pictures of orange cars because you are sneering about it. you have never been out on a night out with ben. does not sure the dark? also on the programme today, we have bill turnbull today. we are going to talk to the parents of harry dunn. british detectives are to fly to the united states, to interview the woman involved in a car crash, that killed teenager harry dunn. anne sacoolas, the wife of an american diplomat, is alleged to have been driving

on the wrong side of the road in august, when her car hit harry's motorbike in northamptonshire. the parents are learning more and more, the timeline and who knew what and when. we will be back with you at seven o'clock with the headlines. find out what's happening with you. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. nearly three years to the day after the croydon tram crash that killed seven people, work will start today to install an automatic braking system. the crash was caused by a speeding tram, but new techology on ‘high risk‘ parts of the route will force them to slow down. it‘s the first system of its kind in europe. the public are being encouraged by the ambulance service to get the training they need to deal with some of the 30 cardiac arrests suffered every day in london. rachael eckley, on the left, was one of those who had a heart attack, butjudy domoney — a stranger at the time —

gave her life—saving treatment. currently survival rates are fewer than one in ten — although that can be massively improved. if somebody has collapsed, the most important thing is to find out whether they are still breathing, so you check to see if they are breathing. if they are not, you need to call for an ambulance as quickly as possible and then you need to start doing chest compressions. so that‘s pressing down on the middle of the chest hard and fast. bbc london has been given rare access to the "untouched" studio of the late lucian freud, who died at the age of 88. his work space is exactly as it was in 2011 — and we were allowed in — ahead of his self—portrait exhibition opening next week at the royal academy in piccadilly. so the paint on the walls is when... lucien always worked holding a palette. and he‘d mixed the colours on his palette and then the colours he did not want he would then scrape off the palette and put them on the wall. let‘s take a look at the travel situation now... on the tubes, there are severe delays on the circle line due to late finishing engineering works.

the district line has no service between turnham green and richmond due to a signal. there are minor delays on the hammersmith and city line also due to a signal failure. and the london overground has no service between gunnersbury and richmond. jubilee line mechanical issue with trains. on the roads... in wandsworth, the a3 west hill remains closed between the upper richmond road and tibbets corner for gas works. now the weather with kate. good morning. it‘s quite a chilly start for some of us this morning. we had a clear sky last night, which in turn has led to mist and fog, as well, but once it lifts, we have a day of fairly decent sunny spells. just a gentle southwesterly breeze to contend with. mist and fog lifts to an afternoon of mainly fine, dry and sunny weather. temperatures today 14—15 celsius. overnight tonight, variable amounts of cloud. some lengthy clear spells, which again in turn could lead to mistiness by dawn.

a bit more cloud moving up from the south—east as we head into wednesday morning. minimum temperature between 6—8 celsius. that cloud will continue to migrate across through the course of wednesday. fairly thick, but largely dry. temperatures again in the mid—teens. thursday, similar conditions. temperatures the same. you might get the odd spot of rain. things turning increasingly more unsettled towards the end of friday and into the first part of the weekend. i‘m back in half an hour. goodbye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and dan walker. our headlines today. detectives in the harry dunn case head to the us to interview the diplomat‘s wife who left the uk after being involved in the crash that killed him.

this morning his parents will be with us exclusively to give their reaction to the latest developments. borisjohnson launches a final bid to deliver his brexit deal by the end of the month — but he faces oppositon from mps angry at the lack of time given to examine the detail. going green. zero—emission cars could get green number plates under plans to identify cleaner vehicles. the scheme could offer incentives, like cheaper parking or being able to drive in bus lanes. i‘ll look at the proposals. suggestions of spying at the rugby world cup, as eddiejones says someone was filming england‘s training session in the lead up to their semifinal with new zealand. good semifinal with new zealand. morning, we have fog across good morning, we have fog patches across southern good morning, we have fog patches across southern areas good morning, we have fog patches across southern areas this morning, which will lift in their most will have a dry day with sunny spells. more cloud and rain and gusty winds across the north and west. more in 15 minutes.

it‘s tuesday the 22nd of october. our top story. british detectives are to fly to the united states to interview the woman involved in a car crash that killed teenager harry dunn. anne sacoolas, the wife of an american diplomat, is alleged to have been driving on the wrong side of the road in august, when her car hit harry‘s motorbike in northamptonshire. she left the uk claiming diplomatic immunity shortly afterwards. ben ando reports. six days ago, harry dunn‘s mother and father went to the white house. during a meeting with president trump, they were offered the chance to talk to the diplomat‘s wife suspected of killing their son, but they said no. now northamptonshire police say officers will travel to the us, hoping to speak to anne sacoolas — pictured here 16 years ago — and that may lead to an extradition request. harry dunn died on august the 27th, when his motorbike was hit by a car driving on the wrong side of the road.

anne sacoolas was interviewed by police. on september the 5th, the foreign office asked for her diplomatic immunity to be waived. on september 15th, she left the uk. the police were told the day after, but did not pass that information on to harry‘s family for a further ten days. the foreign secretary has told mps the case has prompted an inquiry into how diplomatic immunity is used and possibly abused. as this case has demonstrated, i do not believe the current arrangements are right, and the review will look at how we can make sure the arrangements at croughton cannot be used in this way again. it is eight weeks now since harry died on this stretch of road near his home in northamptonshire. for his family, the delays in releasing information, and ongoing arguments about legal processes, are making their loss even harder to face. we‘ll be speaking to harry dunn‘s parents who will be here

to give their reaction later this morning. borisjohnson is urging mps to back his brexit deal, as he launches a final push for the uk to leave the european union by the end of the month. if mps vote to back the plans, three days of intensive debate will begin in the commons, but some are warning that‘s not enough time to properly scrutinise the details. our political correspondent, nick eardley reports. the government‘s new plan to deliver brexit next week. 110 pages. legislation which, if it passes, will pave the way for the uk to leave the eu. ahead of today‘s debate, the prime minister said... but opposition parties are angry. they think the government is moving too fast by proposing to give mps just three days to scrutinise the bill. at every stage, mr speaker, the government has been running scared of this house and democracy and it‘s now attempting to force

through a flawed brexit deal which sells out people‘s jobs, rights and our communities. mps will vote later on the basic ideas in the legislation. if they give the green light, they will then vote on the government‘s timetable. if ministers lose, it will be a big blow. but if mps agree, line by line scrutiny begins. the next few days won‘t be plain sailing, because opposition parties are going to try and change the legislation to include things like a closer relationship with the eu and a second referendum on whether we leave at all — either of which would throw borisjohnson‘s plans into disarray. things at westminster have been far from straightforward recently. the next few days will have some twists and turns, too. our political correspondent helen catt is in westminster for us now. we will speak to emily thornberry

about this in a moment but there is about this in a moment but there is a lot to consider about what can happen from this point. certainly if borisjohnson meets the deadline of next thursday for leaving, which he has been clear he does not want to change, he needs to try to get this through the house of commons and lords through all stages by next thursday, which is a hard ask. there are points where it could fall apart, starting from today. mps will need to vote on this. the government thinks it has the numbers, but it is not clear if they do. it will be the first test of that. if it wins, it will move to the next phase, where mps will try to change the bill using amendments. and there are ways labour would like to see a change. if it gets changed too significantly from what borisjohnson agreed with

the eu, you may find he decides to pull it. if not it will need another vote of mps on thursday before heading to the lords to repeat the process. there is one key vote today that could scupper the planned date of next thursday and that is that mps have to vote for this shortened timetable. many of them are unhappy about that. this is a big bill, they say it is not enough time. thank you. abortion has been decriminalised and same—sex marriage is to be legalised in northern ireland, after a landmark ruling came into effect at midnight. the first same—sex weddings are set to take place in february 2020, and the government has until the end of march to provide regulations which will make abortion services available. our ireland correspondent chris page joins us now from stormont. this is a significant development and already people are looking to see when certain facilities and services will be in place to allow

these things to happen. yes, the big social shift for northern ireland, no matter what do you think of the changes, brought about by mps at westminster in the absence of devolved government at stormont. from midnight the law is changing, first in regard to same sex marriage with couples being able to marry here after the rest of the uk. it will take a while for arrangements to get into place but the first same—sex marriages will take place in the wake of valentines day next year so celebrations among same—sex couples over the past 24 hours. abortion, that has been more controversial. people who campaigned against decriminalisation said they thought northern ireland had gone from having the most restrictive abortion laws in the uk to the most liberal. others said the change is long overdue. the government in

london has until the end of march next year to put in place regulations to provide services. the focus will turn to that, for example, in what circumstances abortion will be available and the issue of conscientious objection for staff who do not want to be involved. i do not think the arguments and campaigning will stop. a man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering two teenagers at a house party in milton keynes on saturday night. police believe the 17—year—olds, named locally as dom ansah and ben gillham—rice, were stabbed in a targeted attack. the 21—year—old has also been arrested on two counts of attempted murder. in canada, it‘s thought justin trudeau‘s liberal party has retained power, but as a minority government. the vote has been seen as a test of mr trudeau‘s popularity, after he faced criticism for not delivering on previous election pledges. the liberals are expected to claim the most seats in parliament, but will have to rely on support

from other parties to govern. drivers of electric cars may soon be able to use special green number plates, to help them benefit from incentives such as cheaper parking and being able to drive in bus lanes. it‘s part of plans which hope to boost electric car sales, and help the government achieve its target of net zero emissions by 2050. the rac says it‘s unsure whether the proposals would really encourage drivers to make the switch to electric. let us know what do you think about that. the weather is coming up. after their high—profile visit to the white house, the parents of teenager harry dunn are taking their fight for justice back to westminster today. last night, the foreign secretary, dominc raab, said he was launching a review into the way diplomatic immunity is used by us personnel and their families. let‘s have a listen to what he had to say. i have already commissioned a review of the immunity arrangements for us personnel and their families at the croughton annex holding

privileges and immunities under the vienna convention on diplomatic relations. as this case has demonstrated, i do not believe the current arrangements are right, and the review will look at how we can make sure the arrangements at croughton cannot be used in this way again. harry‘s parents will be here later. harry‘s parents will meet with the shadow foreign secretary, emily thornberry later this morning. she joins us now from westminster. you have listened to what the foreign secretary had to say. it appears that all the time we are getting more information about who knew what and when and what was done with the information. are you satisfied with the answers? can i say that having learned about this case and having a 20—year—old son myself, i can only imagine the devastation this family feels, having lost this wonderful

19—year—old boy in the way they did. but i do also understand the pa rents‘ but i do also understand the parents‘ inpatients at politicians expressing sympathy. they need a nswe rs expressing sympathy. they need answers and justice. and i am pleased that the foreign office, for the first time, has started to lay out exactly what happened. in many ways, the answers we got yesterday raised more questions and did not a nswer raised more questions and did not answer a lot of them. some of the biggest questions are, under the vienna convention, diplomats can claim immunity, but in this extraordinary case it would seem that this particular woman, anne sacoolas, was able to claim diplomatic immunity in circumstances whereby her husband could not, which makes no sense. we were not given a nswe rs makes no sense. we were not given a nswers to makes no sense. we were not given answers to how that had happened. the ambiguity in relation to her status is something i think the foreign office should have been on

straightaway and it does seem to me that vital time was lost when people... for example, the americans said unless the british raised strong objections, she is leaving the country. we were told they raised objections but we do not know at what level. these things matter in diplomacy, how high a level were objections raised? in diplomacy, how high a level were objections raised ? were in diplomacy, how high a level were objections raised? were undertakings given by the americans she would remain in the uk whilst this very bizarre state as she seem to have had was sorted out? it does not seem as though anybody was properly on this in the way they should have. what seems to have happened is days passed by and she left the country. we are now getting into the timeline from the foreign office and there are questions as well for the family. the us embassy told the foreign office on the 16th of september that anne sacoolas had gone back to the us, the day before,

but the family were not told about that until the 26th of september. 11 days later that anne sacoolas had left the uk. it is those delays which i am sure they have many questions about. i think also what we learned is the foreign office asked northamptonshire police did not tell the family for a couple of days. this looks very odd. it would not be right, would it, for politicians to say can we have a couple of days to get our ducks in a row and then turn the family. the family had —— tell the family. the family had —— tell the family. the family had —— tell the family. the family had a right to know and they we re family had a right to know and they were told for ten days which is com pletely were told for ten days which is completely wrong. you said this is not a time for politicians to be giving sympathies to the parents. with that in mind, when you meet with them, what will you tell them? i will talk to them about the questions raised and how we can work together to get to the bottom of

this. i have asked for the paperwork, letters and correspondence between the us embassy and foreign office and foreign office and northamptonshire police to be put in the public realm so we police to be put in the public realm so we understand the timeline and understand why it is the families of people attached to this base have diplomatic immunity and the main... the people employed on the base do not have it. how did that ever come about? and given the ambiguity, exactly what were the foreign office saying and who at the foreign office was saying it? it seems to me a lot of decisions seem to have been made by officials at the foreign office. in the end, these are decisions that should be made by politicians and politicians should have been involved at a senior level and making clear we were not prepared to put up with this. it seems to me, i‘m afraid, that over the past three

yea rs, i‘m afraid, that over the past three years, our relationship with the united states has been one whereby the british have been tiptoeing around and not wanting to upset the americans. there are times when we have to stand up and say look, we do not understand what this woman‘s status is. can we look into it and can she undertake to stay in the uk until we sort this out? the one bit of good news we got yesterday is that the foreign office are advised they can see no reason as to why we should not be able to start extradition proceedings to get her back to this country. that is important. clearly that is what needs to happen next. in the meantime, there are a large number of questions and the family deserves a nswe rs of questions and the family deserves answers and i will work with them to find out what happened. how it ended up find out what happened. how it ended up they were being treated as badly as they have been. we will put some of the points you have razed to the family of harry dunn when theyjoin

us later. can i ask you about what else is happening throughout the course of the day and the latest brexit development. will you support the bill? i am having shadow cabinet later and we will make decisions about what we will do about today then and i cannot pre—empt that. what about the timetable? mps have voiced concerns about trying to get this debated within a timetable of three days. all i can tell you is when i did the health and social ca re when i did the health and social care act, major legislation, it took three months. in orderfor politicians to do theirjob properly we need time and the idea we will be bounced out of the european union in a period of days without politicians being given the chance to look carefully at the basis we are making this decision is wrong so of course we do not agree with this. it is an artificial timetable, the 31st of october, and we do not see why we

should play borisjohnson‘s game. october, and we do not see why we should play borisjohnson's gamem sounds like you will not support it? ido sounds like you will not support it? i do not want to pre—empt. i came to talk about harry dunn. i am sorry, we will have a shadow cabinet later and make those decisions. the conversations we have had, we are outraged. we will put your concerns to the parents of harry dunn later in the programme. thank you. if you are wondering what the week looks like in terms of weather, my clothing issues... you are not sure what to bring? layers, waterproofs, not waterproofs. that is before goal. i am struggling here. layers, thermals. that is right and the good thing about layers, you can take them off if you are too cold. starting with a

beautiful picture... some of us off toa beautiful picture... some of us off to a fine start but there is patchy fog across central, southern england. that will lift and most will have a dry day with sunny skies. look towards the north and the west and we have weather fronts and already there is a lot of cloud in northern ireland, western scotla nd in northern ireland, western scotland and some have seen rain and the rain enhanced across northern and western scotland in the afternoon as a weather front approaches and with it gusty winds, particularly in the northern isles. but look how the cloud breaks in england and wales. some sunny spells. cloud in parts of northern ireland and western scotland thick enough for drizzle. temperatures what they should be at this time of

year. overnight, another weather front comes in from the west introducing rain to western scotland, parts of northern ireland and it crosses the north of scotland. gusty winds with this. further south, under clear skies, we will see fog form. temperatures tell you what we can expect in towns and cities, in other areas, you what we can expect in towns and cities, in otherareas, under clear skies, it will be lower. tomorrow, the front coming in towards the south—east. weather fronts across the north and west introducing gusty winds with exposure and some rain. there is the rain in northern ireland, western and northern scotland. away from that it is brighter with sunny skies. but we are looking at thicker cloud and showers. temperatures 11—15. by the

time we get to wednesday into thursday, we have a weather front in the south—east but the cold front sinking south effectively bumps it back to the near continent. on thursday, cloudy in the southeast with showers. in between in south—west england, wales, midlands, heading into the north of england, largely dry with a few showers. and rain coming in through western scotla nd rain coming in through western scotland in across northern ireland and around this there will be gusty winds with exposure. gusts up to 55 mph. what about friday? it is a messy picture. this forecast could change. weather fronts sinking messy picture. this forecast could change. weatherfronts sinking south and another coming in from the south—west. cold air in the door. it means, we think at the moment, after a dry start, rain pushes in and gets into northern ireland, most of england and wales and southern

scotla nd england and wales and southern scotland and as it bumps into cold airwe will scotland and as it bumps into cold air we will see snow on the mountains of scotland and the pennines. as it pushes south—east, something drier and brighter but note the difference in temperature... i shall be calling you to double check every morning. look forward to those phone calls. help! straight to answer machine. that is what you do? not me. same—sex couples in northern ireland will be able to marry from early next year, bringing the country in line with england, scotland and wales. hoping to be among the first to marry is shane sweeney, who joins us from stormont now. good morning to you. and a belated, three and a half years later,

congratulations, on your engagement. but congratulations now on being able to make plans to get married. how do you feel about it? amazing. three and a half years, we got engaged in 2016 in berlin and we have been campaigning before that and since to get marriage equality is so yesterday, a really amazing day. tell me about you and owen. you have been together eight years. you‘ve got engaged in berlin. u nfortu nately, you‘ve got engaged in berlin. unfortunately, your mum, a great advocate, she passed away. that must feel tough, for her not to see you getting married. my mum was the biggest advocate and she was a proud parent. she was gung ho about getting marriage equality. and yesterday was about remembering her and the fact she would have been

there. it came at a great personal cost. we could have had civil partnership but we waited for marriage equality. i thought a lot yesterday about her. but i am happy we have what we have. when the day comes, she will be there wherever she is. what is marriage so important to you? it's not that we are asking for more rights, we want the same rights. civil partnerships, you are not quite the same, you cannot refer to your husband is your husband,it cannot refer to your husband is your husband, it is your civil partner. you could not have religious music at the ceremony. we did not want to be treated differently than others. it was just one more step to being equal with other members of society so equal with other members of society so it was important for us. you are standing in front of stormont. how do you feel the legislature has

dealt with this issue? like everything else, to put things into context, i am not sure you are aware of the situation, but at the moment, over 20,000 people are waiting to see a neurologist. 250 families applying for foster places. and also yesterday people‘s rights. we had this vote cast four years ago, by one vote, and then we had to rely on ourmps to get one vote, and then we had to rely on our mps to get the rights for society and lg bt our mps to get the rights for society and lgbt citizens. we have used almost guerrilla tactics to get things through but we got there in the end. yesterday‘s pantomime if you would call it that, that is what

it was. there was no way this was going through. this was the dup appealing to their base. they were never going to change it so i do not know why they bothered. but i am happy, our community is happy. we could now get married as of february next year so it has been a great day. we will give a response from the dup regarding this because you have made your view is clear about how you feel about the dup. it has argued that imposing same—sex marriage and abortion, the other thing discussed, in stormont‘s absence, would breach the devolution settlement. it also has spoken in relation to abortion and says northern ireland will have the most liberal abortion laws in europe and said it is a shameful day for those who haven‘t come, quoting sinn fein and alliance parties, you are critical of the dup but others did

not attend, also. what does that say to you? the other people who did not attend would agree through political activist, that yesterday‘s attempt, there was no point to it. you would have to have an executive to do that. when you mention consent. whoever comes to it, it suits them whenever they want to be british or whenever they want to be british or when it comes to the likes of brexit, they want to make sure we left on the same terms and when the same as the rest uk. but when it came to abortion rights, we had to haveit came to abortion rights, we had to have it our way and for a party opposed to the good friday agreement it is now something they rely on. they flip—flop between what they feel is appropriate. i am not too sure what their stand is. can i have a quick final word. give me an idea what the wedding will look like next year? the theme, where it will be? i

was talking to your colleague, we are in the process of getting married, and we decided to buy a house so it is beans on toast for a while, until we get the money. we will have all our friends and family there. it will be a nice day. some of our elders will not be there, but we fought long and hard and i cannot wait. i wish you all the best for your wedding day. beans and toast, the food of engaged couples around the food of engaged couples around the country! good luck. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i‘m asad ahmad. nearly three years to the day after the croydon tram crash, which killed seven people, work will start today to install an automatic braking system.

the crash was caused by a speeding tram, but new techology on "high risk" parts of the route will force them to slow down. it‘s the first system of its kind in europe. the public are being encouraged by the ambulance service to get the training they need to deal with some of the 30 cardiac arrests suffered every day in london. rachael eckley, on the left, was one of those who had a heart attack, butjudy domoney — a stranger at the time — gave her lifesaving treatment. currently survival rates are fewer than 1 in 10 — although that can be massively improved. if somebody has collapsed, the most important thing is to find out whether they are still breathing, so you check to see if they are breathing. if they are not, you need to call for an ambulance as quickly as possible and then you need to start doing chest compressions. so that‘s pressing down on the middle of the chest hard and fast. bbc london has been given rare access to the "untouched" studio of the late lucian freud, who died at the age of 88. his work space is exactly as it was in 2011, and we were allowed in ahead

of his self—portrait exhibition opening next week at the royal academy in piccadilly. so the paint on the walls is when... lucian always worked holding a palette. and he‘d mix the colours on his palette and then the colours he did not want he would then scrape off the palette and put them on the wall. let‘s take a look at the travel situation now... on the tubes, the district line has severe delays between turnham green and richmond due to a signal failure. there are minor delays on the hammersmith and city line also due to a signal failure. and the london overground has severe delays between gunnersbury and richmond — signalfailure. jubilee line has mechanical issue with trains. on the roads... in wandsworth, the a3 west hill remains closed between the upper richmond road and tibbets corner for gas works. now the weather with kate. good morning. it‘s quite a chilly start for some of us this morning. we had a clear sky last night,

which in turn has led to mist and fog, as well, but once it lifts, we have a day of fairly decent sunny spells. just a gentle southwesterly breeze to contend with. mist and fog lifts to an afternoon of mainly fine, dry and sunny weather. temperatures today 14—15 celsius. overnight tonight, variable amounts of cloud. some lengthy clear spells, which again in turn could lead to mistiness by dawn. a bit more cloud moving up from the south—east as we head into wednesday morning. minimum temperature between 6—8 celsius. that cloud will continue to migrate across through the course of wednesday. fairly thick, but largely dry. temperatures again in the mid—teens. thursday, similar conditions. temperatures the same. you might get the odd spot of rain. things turning increasingly more unsettled towards the end of friday and into the first part of the weekend. va nessa vanessa feltz will speak to somebody

inafew vanessa feltz will speak to somebody in a few minutes on bbc radio london about accents and have it affect the way we view people. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and dan walker. here‘s a summary of this morning‘s main stories from bbc news. british detectives are to fly to the united states, to interview the woman involved in a car crash, that killed teenager harry dunn. anne sacoolas, the wife of an american diplomat, was driving on the wrong side of the road in august, when her car hit harry‘s motorbike in northamptonshire. she left the uk claiming diplomatic immunity shortly afterwards. borisjohnson is urging mps to back his brexit deal, as he launches a final push for the uk to leave the european union by the end of the month. if mps vote to back the plans, three days of intensive debate will begin in the commons, but some are warning that‘s not enough time to properly scrutinise the details. we‘re joined from westminster by the secretary of state for housing, communities and local government, robertjenrick.

good morning. we will come to the legislation you are hoping to talk about ina legislation you are hoping to talk about in a moment. on the point we we re about in a moment. on the point we were mentioning there, we spoke to emily thornberry. she was talking about social care, it took three months to work on to get through. she said it was an artificial timetable to try and get this discussed within three days, what are your thoughts on that! they said they would vote against this bill before it was published. we could have until christmas to debate theirs and they would not change theirs and they would not change their mind. we know parliament can move quickly, they have published bills and voted for them in a single day in the past, including very important ones. parliament has been debating this issue for 3.5 years. most mps are very familiar with the vast majority of issues that are in this bill and it comes down to a

fundamental question, do you want to deliver brexit, do you want the country to move forward? the mps that do, and i hope there will be in jati later today, those mps will get this done in time so we can leave at the end of the month which i think is what the public are calling out for us to do. most people want their country to move forwards so we can talk about all the other issues that we ca re talk about all the other issues that we care about, like housing, like the health system and education. have you read all 110 pages of this withdrawal bill? i have read all the bell. i am familiar with the issues within this. many of these issues have been discussed for a very long time. many of them were in the previous deal, such as how we are going to treat eu citizens living within the uk. there are some new provisions, one is that the prime minister managed to negotiate with

the eu, like removing the backstop. there will be a number of days this week know of intense discussion and debate in the house of commons. that feels for me plenty of time for mps to get deco vision and get this done. there will be many mps wanting to make amendments. at what point do you think the government will have to say, this is not what we put forward , to say, this is not what we put forward, we will have to drop this bill because this is not what we proposed? you have to remember two things, firstly, this bill is based on an agreement we have struck with the eu so we cannot do anything that changes that agreement and those mps who want to do that are essentially trying to wreck the agreement because they know those things would not be ratified able by our friends and partners in the eu. secondly, this is only about the so—called divorce arrangements. this is about putting into uk law how this country leaves the european union. it is not about the future relationship we

will have with the eu after we have left. the prime minister has already said, and that is already in the bill, there will be a debate and a vote in parliament on the negotiating mandate, what will be the terms that he will take to the eu for the future relationship we wa nt to eu for the future relationship we want to strike. most of the issues you are hearing like emily thornberry talking about, will be things we have to discuss once we leave the european union which will provide plenty of times for mps to discuss, debate and come to conclusions on those very important issues. so actually what they are really saying is we do not want to leave the eu at all. we want to drag this out, create more delay and division. the sort of things the public are sick of hearing now. you mentioned you were the housing minister. can i ask you to questions in one, how will it work. a lot of people are having reaction to this

and saying why can this not be extended to those poorest in society and for the young trying to get onto the housing ladder as well as offering financial assistance to heroes? i do not think many people would begrudge people who have served in our armed forces to get on the housing ladder. right to buy has existed for 40 years, it was created in the 19805 by the thatcher government. it is predicated on people having a stable home which they are ten and of and they can use they are ten and of and they can use the right to buy scheme to buy a home for themselves. that is not available to those living in the armed forces, and we want to change that and enable tho5e armed forces, and we want to change that and enable those who have served in the armed forces to buy a home of their own or if they do buy one to be able to extend it and improve it as their family grows in the future. so this scheme enable5 them to borrow interest free up to one third of their income so that

they can get a deposit or borrow that money to extend the property, if they have more children i want to have an elderly relative for example live with them and really put rate5 down so either whilst they are serving in the armed forces are when they leave the forces, they have a home of their own that they and theirfamily home of their own that they and their family can really enjoy going off into the future. we know living in the armed forces i5 off into the future. we know living in the armed forces is difficult for families, it can have an impact upon family life, educational outcomes because of children having to move between schools and having a home, a place that you can call home that are stable and secure makes a real difference to members of the armed force5. and we believe that they deserve that. good to have you on the programme this morning. that is the programme this morning. that is the housing communities and local... abortion has been decriminalised and same—sex marriage is to be legalised in northern ireland, after a landmark ruling came into effect at midnight. the first same—sex weddings are set

to take place in february 2020, and the government has until the end of march to provide regulations which will make abortion services available. a man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering two teenagers at a house party in milton keynes on saturday night. police believe the 17—year—old5, named locally as dom ansah and ben gillham—rice, were stabbed in a targeted attack. the 21—year—old has also been arrested on two counts of attempted murder. england has been named the world‘s second best tourist destination for 2020. the lonely planet travel guide said that despite the uncertainty over brexit, the country‘s hi5toric ca5tles, rolling hills and beautiful coa5t5 all make it worth a visit. the kingdom of bhutan in the himalayas topped the list. england beat aruba. and the song you we re england beat aruba. and the song you were thinking? the beach boys. i am not going to sing it. it is too early for me to be singing!

coming up on the programme. carol will have the weather. john is here as well. we got onto another spy gate now. potentially. yes, all very interesting... this is where england are training in tokyo. you can see a few apartment blocks in the background. and apparently someone was spotted filming their se55ion from a nearby flat. they were using a long len5. it is not illegal? he used to do it! it is not illegal? he used to do it! it adds a little bit of spice to what will be a very interesting week to go. i like this build—up. build—up i5 to go. i like this build—up. build—up is always more fun. to go. i like this build—up. build-up is always more fun. the well —— wales france game... well -- wales france game... this one, england and new zealand, the two inform sides. if whoever wins this could potentially go and win

it. they are the two inform teams. this is where england are training in tokyo. you can see a few apartment blocks in the background. and apparently someone was spotted filming their session from a nearby flat. they were using a long lens. not that eddie minded too much, he himself said it could have just been a fan. there is definitely somebody in the apartment building, but it might have been a japanese fan. you didn't send anyone to go and have a look? we don‘t care, mate. don‘t care. "i think you‘ve got a long—range camera, mate." eh?! there you go, he is always smiling no matter what is going on. concussion substitutes in football are one of the things being pushed for by the fa, to help deal with the effects of head injuries. it comes as new research has found former

players are more likely to die of dementia than people of the same age range in the general population. that followed claims that former west brom strikerjeff astle died because of repeated head trauma. one of the things we are pushing very hard on today — and i have spoken to both uefa and fifa today — is to introduce concussion substitutes as quickly as possible. so if anybody has a head injury, you don‘tjust have a doctor looking at them quickly and saying, you‘re ok, you‘re not ok, you can send somebody else on to play while that player is assessed, to make sure we move away from time pressure on doctors to make really important health decisions. what a win for sheffield united their biggest since returning to the premier league as they beat arsenal 1—0 at bramhall lane last night. summer signing lys moussett with the goal, on his first start for the club. defeat for arsenal means that they stay fifth, as sheffield united mnove into the top half of the table. as sheffield united move into the top half of the table. when bury were removed from the fa cup, there was always going to be one team getting a bye into the second round. and, last night, when the draw

was made, the last side left in the pot was... chichester city, the lowest—ranked club in the competition. they play in the eighth—tier. they‘ll get £36,000 in prize money — and they said they‘d be making a donation to bury. that is really nice. you will have to explain that. they were kicked out of the competition as a result of the side going under. so one side is obviously going to get a pic and they are them. not enough teams to go through. a bit of extra money. and barry getting a little bit as well. after that incredible comeback on sunday night, when he won his first tour title in three years, andy murray will represent great britain at the davis cup. he was instrumental in their victory in 2015 and he‘s been named in the squad for next month‘s new look finals in madrid, joining his brotherjamie, neal skupski and dan evans. the fifth place will be between cameron norrie and kyle edmund — who yesterday suffered

his eighth—straight defeat. it is all taking it for granted, that andy murray is playing tournament after tournament at the moment. that recovery, that is going so moment. that recovery, that is going so well for him. and he will be at the davis cup as well. when he sta rts the davis cup as well. when he starts challenging in matches. almost like tiger woods. thank you, john. it all seemed very formal and polite, didn‘t it? we are a friendly bunch. thank you, john. and now on to carol. good morning everybody. locate this picture i have got this morning, isn‘t it beautiful? for many of us we are starting off on a dry note that there is some patchy fog across central and southern england and central and southern england and central england as well. it is

patchy, if you are driving, take extra ca re patchy, if you are driving, take extra care and when it left sunny spells will develop. we have some weather fronts which will introduce rain in parts of north and the west which already have rain. northern ireland and western scotland, a cloudy day with drizzle. rain already enhanced by a weather front in the north of scotland bringing in more. here too, gusty winds. for england we have that patchy fog in the south, that will lift and we will see the cloud break in sunnyside by —— sunny skies coming through. and not share in the channel islands today. temperature wise, around 15 degrees. bang on where we should be at this stage in october. clearer skies for the south tonight. patchy mist and fog form. we have a weather front bringing in rain to northern ireland, western scotla nd rain to northern ireland, western scotland and also northern scotland with gusty rain. temperatures in

towns and cities around for, nine. not as low in the far north—west. rural areas well below the. another nippy night. we have another where the front. isobar spacing says it will be windy here as well. we start with the patchy mist and fog in southern areas. that will lift and see sunny southern areas. that will lift and see sunny skies develop. another new weather front coming in from the near continent producing cloud and rain at times. heavier rain coming in across northern ireland, western scotla nd in across northern ireland, western scotland and the far north of scotland. don‘t forget, those gusty winds. from wednesday into thursday, the weather fronting thinking south, this cold front introducing cooler conditions behind it and pushed out warm front onto the new continent.

the chariot makes a rain, we will not end with that, more rain in scotla nd not end with that, more rain in scotland accompanied by gusty winds. that will slide steadily southwards. on thursday, there it is, moving across scotland and northern ireland and then england and wales. we have another one coming up from the south—west. what we think at the moment, we start off on a dry and bright note. then we have all this rain coming in from the south—west, pushing north—eastwards. as it engages with the colder air, we will see snow in the pennines and also in scotland. colder air in the north, seven — eight. we are looking at 13-15 in seven — eight. we are looking at 13—15 in the south east. a lot to play for this week. new energy firms could be banned

from taking on new customers if they can‘t prove they can supply them. that‘s according to the energy regulator ofgem this morning. ben‘s got more on this. you would kind of think this is normal. you would think that this would be in place but it is not. all of these firms that were introduced to bring competition to the market did not do that. ofgem says its wants to get tough on new firms that grow too big too quickly. it‘s been encouraging new firms to shake up the market, to improve competition and standards, but in the last year or so, many of those new firms have collapsed, causing confusion and frustration for customers. in fact, 14 small household gas and electricity suppliers have collapsed since january last year. and in regular studies by citizens advice —

many of those newer firms came bottom of the league table for customer service. mary starks is executive director of consumers and markets at ofgem. mary, good morning to you. give us a sense of what you‘re announcing this morning. pretty ambitious firms to make sure new companies coming into the markets are able to provide for the markets are able to provide for the customers that they sign up. the markets are able to provide for the customers that they sign upm the customers that they sign upm the summer we introduced a new licensing test for new suppliers. what we are consulting on today are proposals that make sure that once these companies are in the market these companies are in the market the stay fit and viable and they become capable of meeting obligations as they grow. how do you make sure they can do that? many firms come with ambitious targets. they say they will shake up the market, prevent people becoming locked in with the big four or five.

how do you keep an eye on them. some of the friends who have come in with those claims have succeeded in that so we those claims have succeeded in that so we have seen those claims have succeeded in that so we have seen some those claims have succeeded in that so we have seen some shake—up in the market. some firms have grown to a significant scale, businesses like ovo. we have seen a side that another lot struggling. we want to make sure that all companies are prepared as they grow into the market and that if they don‘t make it that they are able to exit in an orderly fashion. what many will worry about and we talk about this often, if you are not happy with your energy supplier, move to another one. 14 new firms have collapsed, nine are predicted to fail this winter. that does not assure anyone that moving to a new supplier is safe. to be clear, the

safety net ensures that if their supplier does go bust, customers are protected. they state on supply and their credit balances are honoured by the new supplier. the risk of a new company going bust is relatively low. customers should feel confident to shop around and look for better deals on the market. are you confident these new entrants have taken up the market in the way that you wanted to, if we look at some of the suppliers, they are very small suppliers. some have collapsed with 20 thousand customers, 38,000 customers. it is not the legs to get away from fetish gas. but the ones that have succeeded higher getting that have succeeded higher getting that scale. some have got over a million customers now. -- british gas. what else would you like to see change in the market, we know these smaller firms

change in the market, we know these smallerfirms are change in the market, we know these smaller firms are subject to wholesale prices. this winter could be tough as people turn on the heating. how do you make sure that there is competition but customers are projected. of chen's role is to protect consumers and striking a balance between keeping their market open to innovative new players as we move towards a cleaner, smarter energy supply. and protecting customers. these are about making sure we step in quickly when we see things going wrong. we will keep an eye on it. thank you very much. more from me after eight o‘clock. i will see later on. thank you very much. we are talking about something sensitive, thought—provoking. what happens to your physical body after you die. lots of you have got in touch with your thoughts about it. exactly. really thinking this morning. i thought—provoking exactly. really thinking this morning. ithought—provoking piece. i have been an organ donor all i

lie. body donor, why not? as a family, we were supported of her decision and feel proud she has helped the medical procession —— my profession. this is something that jane mccubbin has been looking at. this is dennis. he died when he was 84. but death wasn‘t the end. because he is still going on another journey. there was more to be done? yeah. because when dennis died, instead of going to the undertakers he was taken to the london school of anatomy. there is a phrase which is sort of, it is the final act of giving, isn‘t it? yeah. that generation very much has the idea of making the most of everything that you have. nothing is wasted. and the ripple effect of doing that... yeah, i mean you can‘t even begin to think of the numbers of people that your body might influence. actually, we don‘t have to imagine.

we have calculated that from one single body donation, it can affect the lives of around ten million patients. my goodness! for the very first time, our cameras are allowed in to follow first—year medical students as they meet their first body donors. you have never had the cameras in with the students on day one, have you? no. we haven't. this is a first. what are we going to see? you are going to see the true reaction of students. it is going to be my first time seeing a cadaver. quite a landmark moment, really. you're going to see, really, how they feel about it. nervous? yes. yeah, yeah. and to really start to explore the intricacies of the human form. shall we go? this is a massive moment for medical students. it is actually quite like a rite of passage.

and with that goes the need for the utmost respect in every single thing we do. this is the university‘s biggest intake of medical students ever. and that means they need more bodies. in fact, they have had to import 50 body parts in the last 12 months because of the shortage. who have we got in the room then? we have michael with us today. we have ronald, diana, derek. our team is with michael? our team is doing michael. this is dorothy who is 100! that‘s amazing, isn‘t it? it is amazing, yeah. the mood is calm and studious as they work with michael, who will have died within the last three weeks. over the dissection period this year whilst we are with michael, i am going to try and keep referring to him by his name. he is my first patient, basically, and that helps me to be mindful of the great gift that he has given us, you know, in being able to learn from him. i know that this experience

today would stay with those students for ever. do you remember your first body? i do remember, yeah. his first name was frank and i have always been grateful to frank for that gift that he gave us as students. two years after his death, ann received her dad‘s ashes back from the medical school. and at his memorial lunch, dennis proved an inspiration. not only did we celebrate my dad‘s life but we potentially got other people to think about donating their bodies and starting a trend. that‘s brilliant, isn‘t it? yeah. that is brilliant! go, yourdad! i love it. a trendsetter. there you go. thank you for all your comments this morning. windy says, my mum has signed up to donate her body on her death. we hope that many people will benefit. it means such a lot when the family supports the decision as well. it is a difficult

one. thank you for giving as your personal experiences. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. bill turnbull is going to be wet as in ten minutes‘ time. good morning, i‘m asad ahmad. nearly three years to the day after the croydon tram crash that killed seven people, work will start today to install an automatic braking system. the crash was caused by a speeding tram, but new techology on "high risk" parts of the route will force them to slow down. it‘s the first system of its kind in europe. the public are being encouraged by the ambulance service to get the training they need to deal with some of the 30 the public are being encouraged by the ambulance service to get the training they need to deal with some of the 30 cardiac arrests suffered every day in london. rachael eckley, on the left, was one of those who had a heart attack, butjudy domoney —

she left the uk, claiming diplomatic immunity shortly afterwards. ben ando reports. six days ago, harry dunn‘s mother and father went to the white house. during a meeting with president trump, they were offered the chance to talk to the diplomat‘s wife suspected of killing their son, but they said no. now northamptonshire police say officers will travel to the us, hoping to speak to anne sacoolas — pictured here 16 years ago — and that may lead to an extradition request. harry dunn died on august the 27th, when his motorbike was hit by a car driving on the wrong side of the road. anne sacoolas was interviewed by police. on september the 5th, the foreign office asked for her diplomatic immunity to be waived. on september 15th, she left the uk. the police were told the day after, but did not pass that information on to harry‘s family for a further ten days. the foreign secretary has told mp5 the case has prompted an inquiry into how diplomatic immunity is used

and possibly abused. as this case has demonstrated, i do not believe the current arrangements are right, and the review will look at how we can make sure the arrangements at croughton cannot be used in this way again. it is eight weeks now since harry died on this stretch of road near his home in northamptonshire. for his family, the delays in releasing information, and ongoing arguments about legal processes, are making their loss even harder to face. borisjohnson is urging mp5 to back his brexit deal, as he launches a final push for the uk to leave the european union by the end of the month. if mp5 vote to back the plans, three days of intensive debate will begin in the commons. however, some are warning that‘s not enough time to properly scrutinise the details. all i can tell you is that when i did the health and social care act, which is a major piece of legislation, it took three months.

in order for politicians to do theirjob properly we do need to have time. and the idea that we are going to be bounced, as a country, out of the european union in a period of a few days, without politicians being given the chance to look carefully at the basis on which we are making this decision, is wrong. so, of course, we don‘t agree with this. this is an artificial timetable, the 31st of october, and we don‘t see why we should play boris johnson‘s game. emily thornberry and the labour front bench said they were going to vote against this bill before it was even published. so, frankly, we could have until christmas to debate it and they still wouldn't change their minds. we know parliament can move pretty quickly, they've published bills and voted for them within a single day in the past, including very important ones, and parliament has been debating this issue for three and a half years, i think we've had 500 hours of debates. our political correspondent helen catt is in westminster for us now.

but i think it‘s very clear, regardless of whether they will vote for or against this bill, they are still so divided? gulp absolutely, i don‘t think the divisions have healed at all over the past few yea rs, healed at all over the past few years, but the timeframe is incredibly short, and it usually is short for this sort of bill. there are short for this sort of bill. there a re lots of short for this sort of bill. there are lots of delays over the coming week, where it could all follow part for this government. first off, mp5 will have to vote on whether to move this to the next phase. the government thinks it has the numbers in parliament but we do not know, and this will be the first real test. assuming it passes moving on to the next phase, mp5 will have to vote on the government‘s timetable. there are a number of mp5 unhappy

with this idea of three days debate, we do not know whether the government‘s timetable will stand, if it is voted down, it will make it incredibly difficult to get it through both houses of parliament in time to leave the eu next thursday, when borisjohnson says he does not wa nt to when borisjohnson says he does not want to move, currently the data in law. assuming a passes boast of those hurdles, next it will go to the committee stage, where mp5 will try to change it using amendments. labour mp5 have said they might try to add a customs union or a confirmatory referendum. the risk is that if things get changed too much, the government might decide to pull it entirely. if it gets to that stage it has to pass another vote of mp5 on thursday evening before heading to the house of lords, where the processes repeated again. there is an awful long way to go through this week. if the deal fails at any of these points, it needs to pass for the government to ratify, for parliament to ratify the agreement. the default position in law is we leave next thursday with no deal,

however, more likely perhaps is that the european union will grant an extension after that letter was sent at the weekend. thank you very much, helen catt. abortion has been decriminalised and same—sex marriage is to be legalised in northern ireland, after a landmark ruling came into effect at midnight. the first same—sex weddings are set to take place in february 2020, and the government has until the end of march to provide regulations which will make abortion services available. our ireland correspondent chris page joins us now from stormont. did morning, chris. what happened last night? at midnight the law changed, a really big social shift on two touchstone issues for northern ireland, first on same—sex micro—marriage, that will be legalised five years after the rest of the uk. it will take a little while to put arrangements in place but the first same—sex weddings will ta ke but the first same—sex weddings will take place here, appropriately

enough, in the week of valentine‘s day next year, so big celebrations at the lg bt day next year, so big celebrations at the lgbt community yesterday and overnight. abortion has been a bit more controversial, it has been decriminalised in northern ireland, people campaigning against the change in the law save means northern ireland has gone from having the most restrictive abortion laws in the uk to one of the most liberal abortion regimes in europe. what will happen now? the government will put in place plans for abortion services, they have until the end of march next year to do that, so now the focus will turn to exactly, for example, under what circumstances abortion will be available to women in northern ireland and the issue of conscientious objection for people working in the health service who do not want to be involved in abortions. all this has happened because of legislation passed by mp5 at westminster in the absence of the devolved government in stormont which has not operated since its

colla pse which has not operated since its collapse into half years ago. i think that when it comes to edge, although the change in the law has happened, the campaigning, arguing and debating, particularly over abortion, will certainly not change. thank you very much, chris. good to talk to you. after going public with his prostate cancer diagnosis, former breakfast presenter bill turnbull was credited with helping to save lives by encouraging others to get tested. now bill has let a documentary crew follow him for a year, as he and his family adjust to life with cancer. let‘s take a look. if it wasn‘t for my younger son will, my cancer could have been even worse. he‘s the one who kept badgering me until i finally went to the doctor. i‘ve got a lot to thank him for. how did you feel about it when we told you, then? well, yeah, it was obviously a massive shock, that first period where we didn't know what the prognosis was. mmm. that was really difficult. mmm. i suppose it wasjust panicking a bit, but... yeah. because you hear these awful stories of people who are diagnosed and then,

you know, within the next couple of weeks... yeah. and i wasjust thinking... it was november and i was thinking "oh, god, i hope he's... "i hope we can have a family christmas." yeah. fortunately it wasn‘t as bad as that. and it‘s easy to forget that it has an impact on all of you as well as on me, particularly on mum but for you guys as well, it hasn‘t been an easy year, particularly, has it? er, no. no, of course not, you know? you never want to have to see your father so unwell and, yeah, it was horrible seeing you go through the chemo. yeah. but i'd say it's so great to see you now... mmm. ..doing so well. billjoins us from his home in suffolk now. good morning, bill, how are you? good morning, bill, how are you? good morning. actually, naga, i‘m feeling really very well. the only

reason i can be with you at the moment is not cancer related, i have had a bug i can‘t quite shake off, i have had no aches and pains for a long time and feel remarkably cheerful and healthy. excellent. we have spoken about your cancer diagnosis and she made very clear about what you have gone to and the treatment, does it get easier? well... it depends what treatment you are on. i have been off chemotherapy for more than a year, i have recovered from that and started on something else. but in terms of coming to terms with the disease and understanding my relationship to it, if you like, i am just now over the last couple of months thinking i can help myself in so many ways, through diet, the way i live and the way i am psychologically, generally in attitude, and all of those are little tiles and what i call the mosaic of recovery, they bill to help you feel better. watching the documentary, you touched on that in that clip with your son playing table tennis, there are quite a few

things to reconcile, your own attitude to it and then the impact on members of yourfamily, watching the documentary, that is one of the ha rd est the documentary, that is one of the hardest things to wrestle with? yes. iam very hardest things to wrestle with? yes. i am very lucky to have a truly wonderfulfamily, especially, i am very lucky to have a truly wonderful family, especially, as naga will know, a remarkable wife who has been an absolute rock. it has been very difficult for them, but i think i say at the end of the documentary, if you have love in your life, enough love in your life, it really carries you through. i have been blown away by the amount of support from people notjust within my family but friends and people i do not know who have been in touch to wish me well, and those things all counts, any little way. you say love is the most important

medicine, that really touched me. what i can say on a personal level is it feels like you have certainly mellowed, and you are much more open, you are much more open to new ideas. i must say, it tickled me when i saw you eating that vegetable broth, i know you are a man who enjoys his meat, so you are embracing change or at least trying? yes, i think you have to in the situation i am in. i used to be very fond of meat and i have given it up, largely, and given up alcohol as well, which will surprise you, but i feel much better for it, well, which will surprise you, but i feel much betterfor it, and well, which will surprise you, but i feel much better for it, and you well, which will surprise you, but i feel much betterfor it, and you had to do these things. as for mellowing, not getting out of bed at 3:30am and during three hours of live television makes you a bit more mellow, yes. that is understandable. you are never grumpy mellow, yes. that is understandable. you are nevergrumpy in mellow, yes. that is understandable. you are never grumpy in the morning, are you, dan?! this has got quite a bit of press coverage, we see you

trying some alternative therapies, and one of those was canada‘s oil. it gave you the fate of the giggles, what was it like being on that? —— and one of those was cannabis oil. it made me high and very light—headed. we spoke to doctor peter mccormick in the film, he shows that thc in cannabis, the bit that makes you high, kills cancer cells. it is a case of getting more research done to see what, generally, the effect would be on human beings. to be honest, it was an enjoyable experience. i wouldn‘t do it everyday and i have tried it for a while, i stopped doing it recently because i was not sure where it was taking me. what do you mean? it terms of health, or in terms of being high? no, the difficulty is that it is like, say,

having aspirin but not understanding how much to take or in what form or what quantities. we just don‘t know. we know it can be beneficial but because there has not been enough research, you do not know what type it is. because of that, i was not certain of where to go. i am sure it is beneficial to a certain extent but we have to find out how. you have a remarkable story, i will not spoil it, you meet a remarkable young man who has had a remarkable change with this, i will not spoil it because the documentary is definitely worth watching. how has your attitude changed in terms of treatments for cancer? you have looked into this so much and so much is unknown, when you meet someone who is suffering with cancer, what do you say with them when most of us go to the doctor and us we are told, but that is changing? —— and do as we are told. attitude is everything,

you need to stay with conventional medicine unless you have really good grant not to do so, chemotherapy is pretty tough love but for many people it is the best thing we have, but you need to understand you can help yourself to heal, you have to understand may be why you got ill, think about that, think what i can do to help myself. all of these things add up in terms of diet, not giving alcohol any more because that ta kes giving alcohol any more because that takes away from your body‘s energy to build the immune system. attitude is everything. if you could have a look back and just said... is it even worth thinking about, i wouldn‘t have drunk as much or eating more healthily, or is that just pointless? i think! eating more healthily, or is that just pointless? i think i would have gone to the doctor more than once in four years, that was minus take. i

thought, i am four years, that was minus take. i thought, iam really four years, that was minus take. i thought, i am really healthy, four years, that was minus take. i thought, iam really healthy, i have no problems, i was checked when i was 40 and was fine, got checked when i was 50 and i was fine, i had no cancer in my family so i thought i would be absolutely right, thank you very much, and it turns out i wasn‘t. if i had had the opportunity again, i would wasn‘t. if i had had the opportunity again, iwould have wasn‘t. if i had had the opportunity again, i would have monitored my health more closely. you said earlier in the interview you have been struck by the love you received from members of your family, been struck by the love you received from members of yourfamily, friends and the wider public, how much of an encouragement has it been to you, the impact you have had on others? i know cancer research uk have spoken about you and stephen fry peeing at the forefront of a drive to get people checked out. it is hugely gratifying to know that people have benefited as a result of my illness. sorry, i have an earpiece problem. we never used to have this in the old days, my ears have changed since we did breakfast. the idea that i have been able to do some good with

my illness kept me going. i think stephen probably feels the same way, people have probably got in touch with me, saying, thank you, i got checked out early and i have had some quality—of—life i would not have had otherwise. it softens the difficulty. what are you able to tell us about your prognosis? the official prognosis, when i started i was given ten, then 12 to 14 years, then my oncologist said he wanted to get me to 80. the way i look at it, i put it to one side and i think i will live for as long as i will live for, whatever happens happens. if i can help make myself better, that‘s great, if i don‘t, that‘s fine as well. i will just great, if i don‘t, that‘s fine as well. i willjust keep living as long as it seems a good thing to do. how long did it take you to get to

that point in your mind? that is an interesting question. i had a slight epiphany over the last couple of months, probably since we finished filming, and they came to realisation that things are not quite the way i thought they were. i am not in an adversarial relationship with my illness any more, it is part of me, let see if we can‘t work together to get there. i have read lots of books and that has helped me shape my opinions. i don‘t think you can battle against cancer, i don‘t believe in the vocabulary of being an adversary and being in opposition. vocabulary of being an adversary and being in oppositionlj vocabulary of being an adversary and being in opposition. i don't think that helps. i think we need to think, here is a situation, how can i help myself get from a position of being ill to not being quite so ill, or being healthy. let's work with

the body to do that. i love you, bill. miss you, sending you a big hug. i love you too. and a hug for dan as well. thank you. we are asked so dan as well. thank you. we are asked so regularly how you are doing, it is lovely to have you on the programme, for so is lovely to have you on the programme, for so many breakfast viewers to see you doing so well. the best to your family as well. the one and only bill turnbull. thanks for your messages about spill, not just today but over the last few months. "bill turnbull: staying alive" is on channel 4 on thursday at 10pm. he is good at hugs, he gets really good hugs. he was a sad first and then he goes, oh, all right then, and embraces. wasn't it lovely to hear from and embraces. wasn't it lovely to hearfrom him, carol? billy is such a darling, he always has been and he a lwa ys a darling, he always has been and he always will be. he isjust a darling, he always has been and he always will be. he is just a honey. and he loves bees as well. we have some cloud in the sky, as

you can see from this lovely weather watchers picture influential. most of the rain is across the north and west at the moment, it will be enhanced by a weather front coming our way. as we go further south, when we lose the most and fell, we are looking at a largely dry day with some sunshine. a ridge of high pressure a cross with some sunshine. a ridge of high pressure across the south keeps thing settled, the weather front across the north is producing some rain in this next weather front is coming our way. although there will still be some cloud around, we will start to see holst developing on some sunny start to see holst developing on some sunny spells too. a bit of cloud across northern ireland in western scotland, you could see some drizzle, any brightness is more likely to be to the east of northern ireland, later, as the weather front approaches, the cloud will thicken, we will see showers and the rain will come in. temperatures 11 to around 15 degrees, more or less where we should be at this time of

year. this evening and overnight, under clear skies further south we are likely to see patchy mist and fog forming. we still have rain across northern ireland and western and northern scotland, with gusty winds around it. temperature wise, generally between two and 9 degrees. in ruralareas, to generally between two and 9 degrees. in rural areas, to clear skies, temperatures will be a bit lower. tomorrow, a weather front approaches the south—east which will bring cloud and showery rain and a clutch of weather fronts in the north and west, gusty winds around those. in between, a try and brightest lights. when the mist and fog lifts for england, wales and eastern scotland there will be brightness and even sunshine. for northern ireland, western and northern scotland, a wet day with gusty winds around the bands of rain. temperatures once again11 to 15 bands of rain. temperatures once again 11 to 15 degrees. moving through wednesday, we have this weather front in the south—east, it

will eventually be pushed away during thursday by this cold front sinking south and there is another front coming in hot off the hills of the cold front. cloudy in the south we “— the cold front. cloudy in the south we —— south—east, outbreaks of rain, sunshine and some showers and here comes our cold front introducing the rain. we are looking at gusty winds, 55 miles an hour, for example, in north and western scotland, perhaps to the north channel, north of the irish sea as well. temperatures 11 to 16 degrees. studio: are you a good driver? i would like to think so. ten to two, iimagine you would like to think so. ten to two, i imagine you are very prim and proper. i don‘t, i imagine you are very prim and proper. idon‘t, i i imagine you are very prim and proper. i don‘t, i imagine she has brya n proper. i don‘t, i imagine she has bryan adams blaring out! leather string back driving gloves with a

scarf and some begles goggles! roof down! what type of card you i have?! —— what type of car do you think i have?! drivers of zero emission cars could be given green number plates to help them benefit from incentives for cleaner vehicles. why would you want one? ben has been discussing this. we have had lots of your interaction, which we will get to. this is a proposal to get more people into electric although emission vehicles. if i show you the make—up of what cars we drive, it is interesting that 93% of petrol or diesel. hybrid is a bit of both. the big challenge is how do we get more people to ditch petrol and diesel and get into greener cars. more than

25,000 all electric cars have been registered since last year, that is a big increase, the people are worried about the cost of those vehicles and also the range, how far you can go before plugging it in and charging it. the government says it wa nts a charging it. the government says it wants a pretty ambitious target to get 50% of all new registered cars to be ultra low emission by 2030, there is lots of work to encourage people to go electric. one of the ideas proposed today is to make them more attractive, and that might be to pay less parking in a centre, maybe you will be able to drive down a bus lane and to be able to spot those because they propose giving them special green numberplates. i hope we can look at some of the proposals for the numberplates that they will have, either a green spot or green lettering. i am still hoping we can show you, if anyone is

paying attention! you will be insomuch trouble for that. they are either all green. i get what you have done with that! the idea would be able to identify them more easily. this plan has been used in places like canada, parts of norway, that has got people to sign up and an increase in sales of the vehicles, but some people are saying we need plug in points and better access to those vehicles. ian says not in big enough incentive, because it is still too high for the majority of drivers, many people make that point. lorraine says electric cars still equal congestion and they do not support active travel, not everyone is on board. many people worried about the use of

bus lanes, cyclists etc will be in those. you need to apologise to the director. find out what is happening where you are. ben will get his knuckles rapped! good morning. we‘ve got some mist and fog around which could be a bit problematic but that will clear away and for many parts of england and wales, we are going to see sunny spells. mostly dry but some rain affecting the far north of scotland. that will continue for much of the day. cloudier across scotland and northern ireland but for england and wales, the fog clearing this

morning. some sunny spells developing and maximum temperatures up developing and maximum temperatures up to 12—15. tonight and tomorrow, the rain across the north and west of scotla nd the rain across the north and west of scotland becomes heavier, particularly in western scotland and eventually rain moving into northern ireland. a few mist and fog patches developing across central and southern areas of england and wales. temperatures down into single figures. not quite as cold further north and west. on wednesday, low pressure moving from the north—west, this warm front moving into the south—east. that will provide a bit of cloud and perhaps rain later in the day in the south—east of england. that rain in western scotla nd england. that rain in western scotland and northern ireland will continue into wednesday with breezy conditions. in between the systems, some sunny conditions. in between the systems, some sunny spells and temperatures on wednesday about 12—15. on

thursday, a cold front moving in from the north—west. that weather front still there in the south—east so front still there in the south—east so during thursday a bit of cloud and showers moving south—eastward. some sunny spells. further rain spreading into northern ireland and into the west of scotland. behind that, turning chilly. on thursday, temperatures similar to the next couple of days. getting colder on friday with a chance of a bit of snow over the hills. goodbye.

this is worklife from bbc news, with sally bundock and david eades. can he get across the line — after false starts and stutters could today be the day westminster backs the prime minister‘s brexit deal? live from london, that‘s our top story on tuesday the 22nd of october. today will see a final, and i mean final, bid to get the uk to leave the eu by the end of the month — so what do businesses think? also in the programme — leading the pack, we hear
