good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: mps will vote later on whether to hold a december election — the prime minister's third attempt. while in brussels the eu's expected to agree to a three month brexit extension. a lorry driver charged with the manslaughter of 39 people found dead in a container will appear in court this morning. molly russell killed herself after seeing pictures of self harm and suicide online, now instagram tells the bbc it's introducing tougher controls. cashless and cut—off. banks are warned over the level of it failures — leaving millions without

access to their money. mps say the rising number of online banking crashes and disruption are "unacceptable". bring on south africa. england fans rush for tickets for their first world cup final in 12 years. but there's heartbreak for wales as they narrowly lose their semi—final. # tick tock, tick tock. more dance off drama for mike — he's saved by head judge shirley after his halloween tango. a cold and frosty start to tomorrow and also some patchy fog to watch out for but for most of us, it will be dry and sunny. i will have more details in 15 minutes. it's monday the 28th of october. our top story: mps will vote today on whether to hold a general election on the 12th of december. it's borisjohnson‘s third attempt to secure an early election — while in brussels, the eu is also

meeting to discuss giving the uk a brexit delay. let's get a bit more detail. for the vote on a december general election to be passed today, the prime minister needs the support of two thirds of the house of commons, that's 434 votes, a total he's unlikely to achieve. in brussels, a brexit extension until the end of january is on the table — with an option for the uk to leave earlier if a deal is done. however, if they don't agree to an extension, the uk is still due to leave the eu on thursday. but that outcome seems increasingly unlikely. let's speak to our political correspondent chris mason in westminster. chris, when will this election happen? it isa it is a good question and not one that i can definitively answer. what ican that i can definitively answer. what i can tell you is there has been an outbreak of agreements here in westminster. everyone says they want

a general election but they won't agree on when. they won't agree on the terms. the government of course doesn't have a majority. they have to assemble this supermajority to get a general election via the most obvious way of getting it and labour are not keen to play ball. the polls looked dismalfor them so are not keen to play ball. the polls looked dismal for them so they are not keen right now. other people are making noises about the election but attaching their own ideas about it as well. the government says if it fails to that, they will start exploring other options. but as you know, this is a place where mps can barely agree on what we get is so something as important as an election, don't be surprised if this drags on for some time. meanwhile, overin drags on for some time. meanwhile, over in brussels, even the delay has been delayed. we thought we might hear on friday about this further

delay about brexit. the ambassadors will meet this morning and we should get the news within the next days and here in westminster, to borrow a terrific line from tim shipman at the sunday times, even the deadlock is deadlocked in deadlock. welcome to monday. later in the show we'll speak to the labour mpjim fitzpatrick and to the education secretary, gavin williamson. a lorry driver is due in court today, charged in connection with the deaths of 39 people found in a refrigerated lorry container in essex. maurice robinson is facing charges of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people and money laundering. our reporter andy moore is in grays, essex for us this morning. what is the latest you can bring us? three people who were arrested in the uk over the last three days have been questioned on suspicion of money sorry, people trafficking and

also conspiracy to bring people into the uk. they have been released on bail. meanwhile, maurice robinson, who is 25, he will be appearing in court this morning. he is facing a number of counts, money laundering, people trafficking, and 39 counts of manslaughter. separate to that, belgian prosecutor is very interested in a lorry driver who was arrested in dublin on saturday. they believe he may well be the driver who took the container with those 39 people on board. he is from northern ireland and police say he is a person of interest in the enquiry. dna samples have been taken from the people in the families who believe their relatives, their loved ones, may have been on board. the priest in vietnam, the district where many

young people came from, he believes all the people that were found in that container were from vietnam and 25 of them from a very small district where he is the priest. andy moore, thank you very much. instagram has told the bbc it's extending a ban on graphic posts to include material about self harm and suicide — including pictures, drawings and cartoons. it's the company's latest response to public concern over the death of 14—year—old molly russell, who took her own life in 2017 after viewing such content. her dad, russell, travelled to california to press for urgent reforms, as angus crawford reports. ian russell in the heart of silicon valley... —— ian russell is looking for a nswe i’s —— ian russell is looking for answers about big tech, social media and suicide. this is notjust for molly, this is for every young wasted life. molly took her own life after viewing graphic material about

self—harm and suicide. mainly on instagram. despite a crackdown on those posts, look hard enough and they are still there, graphic and dark. but today, revealed to bbc news, new tougher measures against a wider range of material. images of methods and materials used in self—harm, that is a significant step forward. i am proud of that step forward. i am proud of that step forward. i am proud of that step forward. it will take time to implement fully throughout the product but it is also not going to be the last step that we take. so thatis be the last step that we take. so that is a new commitment, notjust to re m ove that is a new commitment, notjust to remove the graphic images of self—harm but the dark memes and pictures about suicide. success won't be measured in the words of the chief executive but whether in time genuinely, instagram becomes a

safer place for young people. children's er, accident and emergency. ian is with doctor free hess. she is treating more and more young people who are self harming. ages are decreasing significantly. do you think this is connected with social media? absolutely, absolutely. she always wanted to help people so i am pretty certain that she would be pushing for change so that she would be pushing for change so that young people were safer when they were online and that if they need help, they can more easily find it. so some change in silicon valley but for now, for molly, ian russell's journey goes on. angus crawford, bbc news. us intelligence agents say they've collected ‘valuable information‘ from the compound in syria where the islamic state group leader, abu bakr al—baghdadi,

died over the weekend. washington says al—baghdadi detonated a suicide vest after being cornered by us special forces. our middle east correspondent tom bateman is in turkey near the syrian border. do we know what the findings are tom? well, we have been getting the most extraordinary level of detail about the raid, not least of course from president trump himself who gave vivid detail in his account of what had happened. he said that al—baghdadi was cornered, effectively, into a tunnel. that is where he detonated his suicide vest, also adding the three children were in the tunnel at the time but were also killed. it has to be said that he, in his account, described al—baghdadi as whimpering and crying. the us media has also asked the us defence secretary about that

particular detail. he said he didn't have any details of that himself and other officials have been suggesting they would have been no sound on the drone footage that mr trump had watched. some elements perhaps called into question but more broadly, we had last night kurdish y pg malicious who are active across the border in northern syria here who mrtrump the border in northern syria here who mr trump thanked for their role in the intelligence and that al—baghdadi had also been killed in an airstrike. so al—baghdadi had also been killed in an air strike. so far there has been no confirmation of that from the us. thank you very much, tom. the family of a british backpacker who disappeared after a beach party in cambodia have flown to the country to join searches for her. amelia bambridge, who's 21 and from worthing in sussex, was last seen in the resort of koh rong on wednesday, but did not return to her hostel. her handbag containing her purse, phone and bank cards has been found on a beach nearby.

california's governor has declared a state—wide emergency as wildfires continue to sweep through the area. some 180,000 people have been ordered to leave their homes, and roads around santa rosa were packed with cars as people tried to flee. the biggest blackouts in the state's history have already left a million people without electricity. mps have condemned the number of it failures at banks, warning that it's reached an unacceptable level. the treasury committee says far too many customers are being left "cut—off and cashless" by repeated disruptions to online banking services. the chief executive of uk finance says the industry has invested billions of pounds to ensure systems are robust and secure. a 13th century masterpiece that had been hanging above a cooker for years has fetched more than £20 million at auction. the painting, called "christ mocked", by the pre—renaissance italian artist cimabue, was found in an elderly french lady's kitchen earlier this year, and was apparently spotted just before it was about to be chucked

out and taken to the rubbish dump. he would struggle to get over that one. if you didn't watch strictly last night, may be close your ears for some moments. mike and his dance partner katya are through to week seven of strictly — after an eventful halloween special. the couple landed in the bottom two for the second week in a row — but their tango saved them from eliminations after competing in the dance off against corrie's catherine tyldesley. we'll be speaking to mike later in the programme to find out what he has planned for saturday. i should say it, there has been, i

know people get fully invested. they ca re know people get fully invested. they care a know people get fully invested. they ca re a lot know people get fully invested. they care a lot about their competitors, about the dancers, and all that sort of stuff and head judge shirley, she decided to save mike yesterday. which is not without controversy. people got annoyed about, i understand being annoyed about your favourite going but some of the abuse at mike, katia, shirley, i mean, i don't know why the hate. he is just trying his mean, i don't know why the hate. he isjust trying his best. leave him alone! people are mean, people are really mean. it was really shocking last night. such a difficult decision. it has happened before that the head judge has pulled out a surprise vote. and our mike isjust cracking on and doing his best and good people go out. that is the programme, that is how it works. be kind, everybody. shall we be nice?

it isa kind, everybody. shall we be nice? it is a monday morning and we have had a fantastic weekend of sport. mitch —— mixed forced government fortunes. —— mixed fortunes. england head coach eddiejones says his side "haven't done anything yet" after that fabulous win over new zealand sent them to a world cup final against south africa. heartbreak though for wales who lost to the springboks byjust a single penalty in their semi final. they now play the all blacks in the third place playoff on friday. liverpool are six points clear at the top of the premier league after coming from behind to beat tottenham 2—1. mo salah's penalty the difference at anfield. but, all is not well at arsenal. this is their captain granit xhaka storming off the pitch after being substituted in their 2—2

draw with crystal palace. and lewis hamilton won the mexican grand prix, but will have to wait at least another week to claim his sixth world formula 1 title. what is going on at arsenal? very disconcerting for them. not happy with granit xhaka, i think i should apologise for his behaviour. slightly humiliating, i guess. you've got to rein it in and either grown up. “— you've got to rein it in and either grown up. —— be the. you've got to rein it in and either grown up. -- be the. even though i was away i heard the news, steph kindly texted me. she is very concerned for her colleagues. as the weather changed? no, not much. we can be all done. carol, i can tell you it is cold now, isn't it? that's

right. we've had some torrential rain over the weekend but today things are much quieter. as louise said, it's a cold and frosty start to the day. some of us have had temperatures as low as “i! overnight and the goods will drop. generally we are looking at around about the freezing market, just a bubble just below. the next few days it will be dry and sunny but cold by day and night. the other thing to watch out for this morning is patchy fog. the high pressure is going to be dominating our weather, things are going to be fairly quiet. we do have the squads of weather fronts coming up the squads of weather fronts coming up from the south—western at the moment what they're doing is bringing in some rain across the isles of scilly. it spreads through cornwall, devon and the channel islands. but most of this rain is light. move away from this area, mostly dry, some showers this morning coming in across the north—west of scotland. as the wind moves, will go into the north and

eventually the north—east around aberdeenshire and the borders. temperature—wise, a bit low for this stage in october. we're looking at 7-11. to stage in october. we're looking at 7—11. to this evening and overnight we will still have this band of rain across parts of the south—west, clear skies with a few showers coming in, some of those wintry, about 700 metres, so the tops there and it is going to be another cold one. some patchy mist and fog forming and some frost. but note how where we've got the cloud and the rain in the south—west it isn't going to be as cold. no heatwave here either, temperatures falling to 8-9d. here either, temperatures falling to 8—9d. tomorrow is another spike lee sta rts 8—9d. tomorrow is another spike lee starts the day. frosty for some, a lot of dry weather, this system still producing some rain across south—west england and the channel islands, not raining all day, we will see some more cloud in southern counties say south of the m4 but it was to be bright and this rain is

not particularly heavy. it will be milder here. generally speaking, another nippy day in prospect. tuesday into wednesday, these are the first load of fronts we've got tomorrow, but the next light come in as high pressure studs to edge away and low pressure will start to take charge of the weather in the second half of the day. —— starts to. a lot of sunshine around and then in comes the rain from the west, the wind changes do more of a southerly direction so that temperatures will also be that little bit higher. so you get with one hand and you take away with the other one. what a way to start monday morning. it certainly is brr this morning. it's cold. let's take a look at the stories that are making today's papers and online headlines. the telegraph's main story says "lib dems offer pm route to an election." the paper claims boris johnson could accept the opposition party's

proposal for a december election if brexit is delayed. the front page also features a relaxed—looking queen in a picture from a new book. hands in pockets. royal aide angela kelly says that the queen asked to say the line "good evening, mr bond" in herfilm sequence with daniel craig for the 2012 olympics. i love that. the guardian leads on brexit too, saying eu leaders are set to agree an extension until the 31st of january. the picture is of a worried father in vietnam, waiting for confirmation that his son was one of the 39 people found dead in a lorry earlier this week. awful, isn't it? most of the papers also feature the death of isis leader abu bakr al—baghdadi. the express quotes president trump who said he "died like a coward". and online, the huffington post reports on criticism of the washington post newspaper, which described baghdadi as an "austere religious scholar" in its obituary of the isis chief. those are some of the front pages. i

got sold off when her majesty the queen came to open up the new studio for sport —— called of, i had my hand in my pocket for the photo. i'm just saying. things have changed. things have changed. i also forgot my tie that day. maybe she took inspiration from you? laughter. i doubt that. inspiration from you? laughter. idoubt that.|j inspiration from you? laughter. idoubt that. i love inspiration from you? laughter. i doubt that. i love that she wanted to have a line in doubt, it was brilliant. what do you have? good morning. talking about something we often talk about when it happens. bank it failures. there isa it happens. bank it failures. there is a proposal that banks should be fine when there apps stop working. we know those outages cause chaos. the headline here that people are left dustless and cut off because more of us are being encouraged to use online banking as they close the

numberof use online banking as they close the number of branches on high streets, but when those services don't work there are huge problems. the telegraphs adjusting those banks should be punished for outages as faras should be punished for outages as far as those services are concerned. we will talk about that a little later. and there is a story about emma thompson, the actress. eight this is a good story. this is fascinating in terms of whether soppy fascinating in terms of whether soppy etiquette is now out of control. out of control? the story goes she was having dinner in a re sta u ra nt goes she was having dinner in a restaurant in london and one of the waiters asked for a soppy with emma thompson. she politely said no and we nt thompson. she politely said no and went about her business. but it then later transpired that she had been, the waiter had been fired or suspended. she asked for them to be reinstated? there are so when is it a cce pta ble reinstated? there are so when is it acceptable and when is it not to ask for a selfie? she has made it clear in the past she doesn't really love selfies. so let us know whether you think it is never appropriate to ask for a selfie. i think if you are

having private dinner with friends, ina group having private dinner with friends, in a group setting, it would awkward for the people around them. i guess it's not if you are a celebrity than many other people would start asking her. mid- meal. going out for dinner with the football types and they often say they are getting bothered during a meal they say if you could wait until the end, as soon as i finished my meal i can do photos and sign things. are you asked to hold the camera? of course i am. i have it they always asked me to take the pictures. i want to show you a brilliant picture from the weekend. this is from the times today. if you look, i don't know if you can see closely, look at the faces of the england rugby team. after that win. that post match speech, if you look at their faces you can just see the intensity. brilliant, brilliant

picture. very quickly, contrast but with another great leader beaten yesterday. a great, great captain and so disappointed to be beaten by south africa. a wonderful example of leadership in the game, i know it didn't work out and they lost by three points, when they had the opportunity for a 3—point penalty to tie the scores and he said you will know what, we will go for the try. they got seven points. i was they had gotten one more from there. thank you, and i'll see you later. it's 6:23am. the long—awaited public inquiry report into what happened on the night of the grenfell tower fire will be released this week. it will look at how the fire which killed 72 people started, and how it spread as it did. in the first of two reports, graham satchell has been to meet sandra, who's fighting forjustice after losing her 12—year—old niece jessica.

71 people died that night and many died later. we need answers. i often get asked, do you think it is time to start focusing on something else, on your own life? no. i can't. because if there is one more loss of life out of similar circumstances,, how can we move on? sandra lost her knees in the ground fell tower fire, jessica was just 12 —— knees in the ground fell tower fire, jessica wasjust 12 —— niece. knees in the ground fell tower fire, jessica wasjust 12 -- niece. she was bubbly, full of life, very fun to be around and very funny. we miss her. a lot. on the night of the fire, jessica was on her own. her mum was at work cleaning and office overnight. jessica ran the fire service and was told to stay put. ——

rang. at no time was he asked to leave. um... they were told the fireman were coming up to save them. and no—one did. no—one did. fireman were coming up to save them. and no-one did. no-one did. jessica was on the phone for 55 minutes. it was on the phone for 55 minutes. it was the longest goal of the night. the line was still open when she died. to my mind, hers was a managed death. the public enquiry heard that the fire at grenfell tower was out of control after 27 minutes, but the state policy telling residents to remain in our class was left in place for almost two hours. the fact that no—one took charge in starting an evacuation early on, the fact that they didn't know how to

evacuate people really from the type of building, that baffles me. had they evacuated early on, we would have had a lot less lives lost. the remit of the enquiry‘s first report is narrow. it will look at the events of the know, how the fire started and spread in the fire service is likely to be good—sized. but the bigger questions about building regulations, the role of the local authority and construction companies blame and justice won't be addressed until next year. and still today there are hundreds of tower blocks across the country covered in combustible cladding. this stuff is on sandra of residence in hospitals, it's on all sorts of public buildings. you know, it isn'tjust our battle, it's everybody‘s buttel. i need to see people blame. i need to see people go behind bars for

this. —— battle. hours can we get peace? —— how else? on tomorrow's programme, we'll be taking a closer look at the response of the fire service that night and speaking to the head of the london fire brigade. if you want to get in touch about dietand if you want to get in touch about diet and anything else in today's programme, please do. bbc breakfast at bbc.. thank you so much to sandra for taking part at bbc.. thank you so much to sandra fortaking part in at bbc.. thank you so much to sandra for taking part in that story. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm alex bushell. one of the capital's biggest car park providers has been criticised for failing to provide sufficient parking for disabled people. government guidelines say car parks with more than 80 places should have 6% disabled parking. but data from ncp's own website has revealed the company is falling far short of that target.

under the equalities act they are ignoring disabled people's fundamental human rights and they are getting away with it because it's very often the case that the companies are not going to be troubled by litigation. in a statement ncp said, "we take the issue of disabled parking seriously and we would appear to have fallen short of the standards we have set. we are therefore looking into the issues you have raised." and you can see more on that story on inside out london. that's tonight at 7:30pm on bbc one. the government is being urged to extend the time limit for women to store their frozen eggs. at the moment, women have up to ten years to use them or they're destroyed unless they have certain medical conditions. but london—based charity progress educational trust says the rules "breach human rights". the government says it has no plans to change the law. let's ta ke let's take a look at the travel situation this morning.

on the tube, an earlier signal failure is causing severe delays on the hammersmith and city line and minor delays on the circle and district lines. on the roads, and in wandsworth, the a3 west hill is closed from upper richmond road towards putney due to gas works. you can see it is moving pretty slowly over there. in shepherd's bush, lane two is closed on a219 wood lane southbound at the junction with aao westway. and finally in greenwich, lane two is closed on a206 woolwich road eastbound at the junction with blackwall lane. that is your travel. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning to you. stepping out the door this morning could be something of a shock to the system, probably the coldest morning we have seen probably the coldest morning we have seen for some of us over this autumn period. mist patches around as well but then we set for a lot of fine for today and the next couple of days as well. after that chilly

start with temperatures at or slightly below freezing. we are really going to struggle today with the temperatures. a high of 11 aussies at the very best. as we get to the notes and a little bit of high cloud putting towards us right through the day and it should be right across us for a time. it means into tomorrow morning it isn't quite as chilly as this morning, but still ru rally we could as chilly as this morning, but still rurally we could see a touch of ground frost, three or four degrees here. and then another fine day, benefits of high pressure, are fairweather fran, just a little bit of budgeting around at times. temperatures 12—13 celsius, a mitch up temperatures 12—13 celsius, a mitch up on today. a fine saturday for you on wednesday, a bit cloudier as we see something of a change for thursday and friday. it turns milder, but welder too. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half—an—hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to louise and dan. bye for now.

hello this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. it's 6:30. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning. we'll discuss england's rugby world cup final chances with a man who's won it himself — matt dawson willjoin us from tokyo. also this morning, jo wood will be here to tell us about her life with ex—husband ronnie behind the scenes of the rolling stones. # never going to give you up, never going to let you down. # never going to run around and desert you. and after nine, we'll be joined by rick astley, as he releases his ninth studio album. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. mps will vote today on whether to hold a general election on the 12th of december. it's the prime minister boris johnson's third attempt to secure an early election, but he needs

the support of two thirds of mps — which he's not expected to get. in brussels, the eu is also meeting to discuss giving the uk a brexit delay. us intelligence agents say they‘ve collected ‘valuable information‘ from the compound in syria where the islamic state group leader, abu bakr al—baghdadi, died over the weekend. washington says special forces spent two hours in the area and gathered "highly sensitive material." al—baghdadi reportedly detonated a suicide vest after being cornered during a raid. a lorry driver is due in court today, charged in connection with the deaths of 39 people found in a refrigerated lorry container in essex. maurice robinson is facing charges of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people and money laundering. in vietnam, police are collecting dna from people who fear their relatives are among those who died. instagram has told the bbc it‘s extending a ban on graphic

posts to include material about self harm and suicide — including pictures, drawings and cartoons. the move is in response to concerns raised by the death of british teenager — molly russell, whose family found such content on her account after she took her own life in 2017. herfather, ian, has called on the company to speed up its changes. and he will be with us later on the programme as well. the family of a british backpacker who disappeared after a beach party in cambodia have flown to the country to join searches for her. amelia bambridge, who‘s 21 and from worthing in sussex, was last seen in the resort of koh rong on wednesday, but did not return to her hostel. her handbag containing her purse, phone and bank cards has been found on a beach nearby. california‘s governor has declared a state—wide emergency as wildfires continue to sweep through the area. some 180,000 people have been ordered to leave their homes, and roads around santa rosa were packed with cars as people tried to flee. the biggest blackouts in the state‘s

history have already left a million people without electricity. those fires could well continue for the rest of this week because there is no change in the weather reported. a 13th century masterpiece that had been hanging above a cooker for years has fetched more than £20 million pounds at auction. the painting, called "christ mocked", by the pre—renaissance italian artist cimabue, was found in an elderly french lady‘s kitchen earlier this year, and was apparently spotted just before it was about to be chucked out and taken to the rubbish dump. i‘m not sure they said a bob or two. years and years and years it has been there and with so much money. lovely. a staggering amount of cash. just above the cooker. i wonder if they had to clean all the spaghetti

bolognese of it. i was thinking something a little bit more french than spag bol. i am glad we are clearing up all of these big issues! french people do do spag bol, don‘t they? shall we just french people do do spag bol, don‘t they? shall wejust go french people do do spag bol, don‘t they? shall we just go to japan, shall we all go to japan client? —— japan? let‘s got to japan shall we, where england are preparing for a first world cup final in 12 years, and wales are preparing for the game that no side wants to play in — the third—place play off. our sports correspondent andy swiss is in tokyo. eddiejones is saying there is more to come from this side. what on earth have they still got to give?l

very good question. you sense this will be some week of build up here injapan. will be some week of build up here in japan. already the will be some week of build up here injapan. already the battle will be some week of build up here in japan. already the battle for flights, tickets, accommodation is on as thousands of england fella that fans try to find a way to get out here for the world cup final on saturday and who can blame them after that break that breathtaking victory by england over new zealand on saturday? new zealand, the reigning world champions, the favourite, the world number ones and hadn‘t lost a world cup match for some 12 years and yet england utterly dismantled them. as you say, just a few hours ago, we heard from england head coach eddiejones who was on typically lively form and said it is great we have given the country something to cheer about with brexit, they probably needed something to cheer about. but he

said his players know there is no room for complacency. we played a great team on saturday but we don't feel we played as well as we can and the chance that the charge for us is to keep improving and there are small margins now. as you go through the tournament, the margins go smaller but there are improvements you can meet that make and we will see how we can keep improving for this week cosmic game and that is exciting for us. england with so much to look forward to this week but yesterday, such disappointment for wales. knocked out of the world cup at the semi stage for the third time but they came so close to beating south africa. a penalty from dan bigger made it 9—9. they seemed a real chance at that point but then south africa took chance that took the chance again. they led 16 nine

at that point. wales found a way back as they have done so many times. josh adams with a brilliant try to make it 16—16 and set up a gripping finale to the much but with just a few minutes left on the clock, the south african fly half held his nerve to kick the winning penalty to send south africa into the world cup final where of course they will now meet england. it wasn‘t a particularly pretty performance from south africa but hugely effective. they found a way to win. they go through to the final. disappointment once again for wales, knocked out once again at the semi—final stage and as you say, they now have the match which no—one wa nts to they now have the match which no—one wants to play. a third place play—off against new zealand on saturday. andy, it is great to see

you and i can‘t imagine what that game will be like because the all blacks now certainly have a job to do, after being beaten at the weekend. no shortage of drama in the premier league, not least at the emirates. this is the arsenal captain granit xhaka being booed by his own fans as he was substituted against crystal palace. he then swore at the fans, and took his shirt off as he stormed down the tunnel. arsenal had already thrown away a two—goal lead, and thought they‘d won it late on. but a very controversial var decision ruled out this goal from sokratis. it finished 2—2. liverpool had an early scare as harry kane scored afterjust 48 seconds to give spurs the lead at anfield. the premier league leaders equalised in the second half, before a mo salah penalty gave them all three points. manchester united meanwhile won a premier league away game for the first time since february — despite missing two penalties.

anthony martial amongst the scorers in a 3—1win over norwich. elsewhere newcastle and wolves drew 1—1. how do you respond to an utterly humiliating defeat? southampton were absolutely thumped by leicester on friday night. 9—0 equals the biggest ever win in premier league history. the southampton players and staff were so disappointed by their performance, that they‘ve all donated a days wages to charity. isn‘t that a good gesture? lewis hamilton will have to wait at least another week to claim his sixth world formula 1 title, thats despite winning the mexican grand prix. he came from third on the grid to win what was a very tense race. he will now clinch his sixth championship at the us grand prix next sunday as long as he does not lose more than 22 points to his mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas.

and there‘s been more history for tiger woods overnight, he‘s equalled the pga tour record of 82 tournament wins. he did itby winning zozo championship injapan — his first event since having his fifth knee operation nine weeks ago. he won his first pga title 23 years ago this month. mike goodness. that man‘s knees must be entirely teflon by now. talking about the tournaments where you get enough money to then continue being a professional golfer and then he went and one in portugal. was it something like 550? in the world? yes, brilliant victory. that won in portugal. good morning. you are watching breakfast. the uk is due to leave the eu this week — officially, at least.

how many times have you talked about that date? the 31st. but with the eu meeting today to consider offering another brexit delay — and talk of a general election looming — that long—promised deadline of october the 31st seems very unlikely to be met. our political correspondent chris mason can tell us more. good morning to you, chris. a lot has changed, nothing has changed. let us talk about today, first of all. it is curious, isn't it? there we we re all. it is curious, isn't it? there we were earlier in the year counting down to the week where the clocks changed. people like me sitting in seats like this, counting down to a specific date in march for weeks and weeks and months and months on end. we got to the date in question and suddenly the date seemed irrelevant and this is pretty much where we are sitting this week. more meetings in brussels to agree to another delay. there has been a delay to the delay

because we thought we might hear about it on friday. it looks like they are going to say, ok then, maybe you do need a little bit more time. maybe you‘d need untiljanuary you can get things sorted before then. and all of that despite all of this that we have been watching in the last few months. on october the sist, the last few months. on october the 31st, no, iwill the last few months. on october the 31st, no, i will not extend. the last few months. on october the 31st, no, i will not extendlj the last few months. on october the 31st, no, iwill not extend. iwould rather be dead in a discharge. coming out of the eu on october the sist, coming out of the eu on october the 31st, no ifs or buts. that is why we are coming out of the eu on october the 31st, come what may. except we are almost certainly not. hey, said the government, we can have a general election. that way we can get a majority and not having a majority is the reason we haven‘t been able to get out on time. let us have a general election because opposition parties, they always want general elections. look at what jeremy corbyn has been saying in the

past. we don'tjust need another unelected tory leader, we need a general election and a change of government. let the people decide our country's future. but not quite yet, says jeremy our country's future. but not quite yet, sasteremy corbyn, because yes, he says he wants a general election, everyone around he wants one but guess what, they want it on their terms and not the terms of the prime minister. when they can‘t even agree what day of the week it is here at westminster, don‘t be surprised if they can‘t agree when an election should take place and they are all looking at their own self interests. here we go with another week at westminster. talk me through the pathways to a general election. there is a vote on it today but what is likely to happen with that? i will keep this brief. pathway number one to be explored today, what is known as the fixed term parliament, needs a supermajority, two—thirds majority to pass. the government doesn‘t even have a simple majority so they will not manage it. that is pathway

number one blocked. in the last couple of days, we have had from the liberal democrats and the snp, let us liberal democrats and the snp, let us bring the election forward to december the night. that is six weeks‘ time for up they don‘t want any discussion of the withdrawal agreement before then. they would rather have an election before any element of brexit has happened. why? because they don‘t like brexit. labour say yes, we are keen on a general election and we want to make sure you have taken no deal of the table. notjust sure you have taken no deal of the table. not just now sure you have taken no deal of the table. notjust now but at the end of january and at the end of the transition period, the period that would follow for about a year, as things stand, immediately after brexit is agreed. that could take quite a while. so, the government‘s

mechanism failing today, they might be tempted by the idea put down by the liberal democrats and the snp but not before they have at least tried today. labour at the moment are trying to thwart things so there isn‘t an obviously clear path and the deadline for starting an election campaign so it is done before christmas is very tight, we still do not know whether there will be polling stations with punters wearing santa hats and mary and joseph lynn bring up behind the debt that ballot box because they have to do nativity in the next door room. —— mary and joseph limbering. here‘s carol with a look at this morning‘s weather. in wales there are three flood warnings. it is going to be cold by day and night, but for most of us it is going to be dry and sunny. it‘s cold this morning, temperatures around about freezing, just above or below. high pressure is going to be in charge of our weather so things are fairly settled. this clutch of weather fronts is coming are fairly settled. this clutch of weatherfronts is coming in are fairly settled. this clutch of weather fronts is coming in towards the south—west, they are already producing some rain across the hours of chilly and we will see some of

the getting into the south—west and the getting into the south—west and the channel islands. that‘s because do the course of the day with a little bit more cloud ahead of them. but it‘s not going to be raining all the time. this rain will be light and it will also still see some brightness despite the cloud. now as we move northwards, the apache mist and fog, we will have a lot of sunshine around. scotland has —— the patchy mist and fog. despite the sunshine, it is going to be a chilly day right the way through the day. through the evening and overnight we still do have our rain across the south—west and clear skies, the temperature will be following quickly. once again, looking at those i was coming in and the north—westerly wind —— those showers coming in. these are the temperature values in towns and cities, lower in rural areas. we also have the cloud and rain, for those places temperatures will be a little bit higher but it will feel cool if you step out tomorrow with temperatures

of eight or nine. talking of tomorrow morning, any patchy mist and fog will slowly lift through the day, it will be a cold and frosty start again and we still have our weather front in the south—west still producing some rain. away from those areas though, a lot of dry weather, a lot of crisp, autumnal sunshine but still those showers coming in on the breeze across the north—east of scotland in particular. now, tuesday into wednesday, you can see how these weather fronts tend to fade, only to be replaced by the next step coming our way. be replaced by the next step coming ourway. high be replaced by the next step coming our way. high pressure is pushed a bit further on to the new continent and eventually the atlantic fronts and eventually the atlantic fronts and low pressure will take over. but to start with, after any patchy fog lifting, there will be a fair amount of sunshine around. all of these weather fronts coming from the west introducing rain, but notjust ran with them, there is an atlantic influence with them now, the temperature will start to rise a little bit. but i‘m not promising any heat waves! no, you are not.

we all like to have a bit of a selfie in the morning. we all like to have a bit of a selfie in the morninglj we all like to have a bit of a selfie in the morning. i love a good selfie. but ben‘s got a word of warning about them this morning. are you warning me? you are partial toa are you warning me? you are partial to a good selfie, mister walker. but yes, there is a warning today. according to google, we take 93 million selfies a day. that isjust these that is just these two. a new selfie is posted to instagram every second. i mean, just take a look at me with kylie, with beyonce and with elton john. but you might not see me with emma thompson. that‘s because the oscar—winning actress reportedly like them.

reports this weekend say a waiter at a hotel in london asked her for a selfie while she was having dinner. she politely said no but he was then suspended by his bosses. so emma then called the hotel to ask to get hisjob back. we don‘t know if here is back in this trough just yet. —— job. so is there actually selfie etiquette? and what are the rules? let‘s speak to mark stephens — a lawyer with howard kennedy. good morning. this is a great story. there are so many rules and regulations about so many other things but nobody really knows when it is acceptable to ask a celeb for a picture? you i travel with celebrities a lot, i go to dinner with them, and frankly, if you in that kind of private days then it is probably inappropriate. does my private space. we almost have what isa private space. we almost have what is a red carpet rule. if they are doing a job, is a red carpet rule. if they are doing ajob, in is a red carpet rule. if they are doing a job, in those circumstances of course ask and they will do a

selfie with you. but if they are on an aeroplane for example, out to dinner with family or friends, then it can be very disruptive. some people, particularly sportsmen, are very keen to say look, just wait until the end of the meal and we‘ll come over to the door and you can ta ke come over to the door and you can take a few pictures then and then we will leave. that perhaps is the happiest medium. but of course for employees, it‘s all very different. if you are an air hostess or a waiter, it‘s part of yourjob to not let the customer feel uncomfortable, and if it is possible, that they will feel uncomfortable by asking for selfies or feeling unable to refuse, then that is inappropriate and that is probably why this person has been suspended. that seems to be theissue has been suspended. that seems to be the issue here, doesn‘t it? because, look, if you other public or someone in the restaurant, you can‘t really

do much. they want to make a restau ra nt do much. they want to make a restaurant welcoming to everybody. don‘t ask if you are in a workplace. and celebrities want to go to nice restau ra nts a nd and celebrities want to go to nice restaurants and the restaurant is wa nton restaurants and the restaurant is wanton because it is good for their business. you don‘t want anyone being put off going because of a fear that they will be asked for a selfie. and of course there are many sort of high—end clubs and restau ra nts sort of high—end clubs and restaurants which just don‘t allow photography inside and that‘s because not only is the person that you‘re asking for a selfie with, but the other people in the background are likely to be celebrities, too. and they may not want to be in the background of images of photo bombing the image that you are taking your selfie with. so is the a nswer taking your selfie with. so is the answer adjust to ban smartphones or band photos in a restaurant or a hotel entirely to prevent, regardless of who you are? hotel entirely to prevent, regardless of who you are ?|j hotel entirely to prevent, regardless of who you are? i think that ashley does of quite a lot of the problems. but if you are going for a family celebration and you wa nt to for a family celebration and you want to be able to take a photo of

somebody with the cake —— actually, that does seem a fair exception. but if you want a selfie of someone famous in the restaurant, wait by the door when they leave and they are likely to give you one, just on their way out as long as you haven‘t interrupted their evening. and, what is interesting, i wonder what your ta ke is interesting, i wonder what your take on this is, if emma watson had said yes, let‘s do a picture, you think the hotel would have felt the same pressure to discipline that staff member? i think this particular restaurant has a rule that staff are not allowed to ask for selfies, it is of a cause for disciplinary action. they are within their rights, the question is whether he should be suspended or actually terminated for gross misconduct. and i think that will be the decision that the hotel is making today. and of course he has had vessel pleading on this occasion. so perhaps he will slip through and have a spot at the table

shortly. mark stevens, great to talk to you. more from me after seven a.m.. guys, smile! honestly. we didn‘t ask. he said smile, is at the same as asking? there are how rude. can we have been sacked, please? sorry! laughter. 0h, is sorry! laughter. oh, is funny. later in the programme we‘ll be catching up with mike after he survived another week and another dance—off to make it through to the next stage of the contest. up against corrie‘s catherine tyldesley in the halloween special, a white rabbit tango helped him to remain in the competition after finding himself in the bottom two for the second week in a row. let‘s take a look.

you‘re watching breakfast from bbc news. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i‘m alex bushill. one of the capital‘s biggest car park providers has been criticised for failing to provide sufficient parking for disabled people. government guidelines say car parks with more than 80 places should have 6% disabled parking. but data from ncp‘s own website has revealed the company is falling far short of that target. under the equalities act they are ignoring disabled people‘s fundamental human rights and they are getting away with it because it‘s very often the case that the companies are not going to be troubled by litigation. well, in a statement ncp said, "we take the issue of disabled parking seriously and we would appear to have fallen short of the standards we have set.

we are therefore looking into the issues you have raised." and you can see more on that story on inside out london. that‘s tonight at 7:30pm on bbc one. the government is looking at extending the amount of time women can preserve their eggs. let‘s take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, an earlier signal failure is causing minor dealys on the circle line and severe delays on the district and hammersmith and city line. there are also severe delays on the bakerloo and northern lines. on the roads, and in wandsworth: the a3 west hill is closed from upper richmond road towards putney due to gas works.

and this is from shaftesbury avenue. in shepherds bush: lane two is closed on a219 wood lane southbound at the junction with aao westway. and finally in greenwich: lane two is closed on a206 woolwich road eastbound at the junction with blackwall lane. you have had your travel update, now let‘s get your weather update with sara thornton. good morning to you. stepping out the door this morning could be something of a shock to the system, probably the coldest morning we have seen for some of us over this autumn period. mist patches around as well but then we set for a lot of fine weather for today and the next couple of days as well. after that chilly start with temperatures at or slightly below freezing. we are really going to struggle today with the temperatures. a high of 11 celsius at the very best. as we go through the night and a little bit of

high cloud putting towards us right through the day and it should be right across us for a time. it means into tomorrow morning it isn‘t quite as chilly as this morning, but still rurally we could see a touch of ground frost, three or four degrees here. and then another fine day, benefits of high pressure, our fairweather friend, just a little bit of around at times. temperatures 12—13 celsius, a mitch up on today. a fine saturday for you on wednesday, a bit cloudier as we see something of a change for thursday and friday. it turns milder. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half—an—hour. now though it‘s back to louise and dan. bye for now. good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: mps will vote later on whether to hold a december election — the prime minister‘s third attempt. while in brussels the eu‘s expected to agree to a three month brexit extension. a warning the threat from islamic state isn‘t over despite the death of its leader

al abu bakr al—baghdadi. molly russell killed herself after seeing pictures of self harm and suicide online, now instagram tells the bbc it‘s introducing tougher controls. cashless and cut—off. banks are warned over the level of it failures — leaving millions without access to their money. mps say the rising number of online banking crashes and disruption are "unacceptable". bring on south africa. england fans rush for tickets for their first world cup final in 12 years. but there‘s heartbreak for wales as they narrowly lose their semi—final. good morning, a cold and frosty start to the morning with some fog to watch out for but for most of us, dry and sunny. just a couple of exceptions and i will tell you where they are in 15 minutes. it‘s monday the 28th of october. our top story: mps will vote today on whether to hold a general election on the 12th of december.

it‘s borisjohnson‘s third attempt to secure an early election — while in brussels, the eu is also meeting to discuss giving the uk a brexit delay. let‘s get a bit more detail. for the vote on a december general election to be passed today, the prime minister needs the support of two thirds of the house of commons — that‘s 434 votes — a total he‘s unlikely to achieve. in brussels, a brexit delay until the end of january is on the table — with an option for the uk to leave earlier if a deal is done. however, if they don‘t agree to a deadline extension, the uk is still due to leave the eu on thursday. but that outcome seems increasingly unlikely. in a moment we‘ll get more on that meeting in brussels from adam fleming. first, let‘s speak to our political correspondent chris mason in westminster. chris, when will this election happen?

what election happen? will go on this week, exactly? you what will go on this week, exactly? you have had plenty of use out of the red pen in the last few months. what will happen this week here? there is an outbreak of agreement. everywhere you look, pollard additions will tell you they want a general election. does my politicians. then they will say they wa nted politicians. then they will say they wanted on their terms. borisjohnson wa nts wanted on their terms. borisjohnson wants it on december the 12, that is six weeks on thursday. as you say, he will press ahead with this boat today under the fixed term parliament ‘s act and he needs a fixed term majority that he needs a majority. ——he needs a majority. it boils down to the fact that he doesn‘t even have a simple majority so getting a supermajority, it ain‘t going to happen. the snp and the liberal democrats have a plan, they wa nted liberal democrats have a plan, they

wanted general election on december the night, a few days earlier but they don‘t want any discussion the prime minister‘s withdrawal agreement beforehand. the government is saying, well, we‘re not that keen on that but maybe we will look at it asa on that but maybe we will look at it as a plan b. meanwhile, labour what isa as a plan b. meanwhile, labour what is a general election but they want to make sure and no—deal brexit at any stage is taken of the table and plenty of mps are not that keen on a general election because the polling for them looks pretty dismal. can the prime minister in the next few days find some sort of passageway through all of this? well, frankly, we are not that sure but to borrow a terrific line to summarise all of this from tim shipman in the sunday times, even the deadlock is deadlocked in deadlock. welcome to another week at westminster. triple deadlock. could the deadlock be unlocked by the meeting of ambassadors that is getting under way in brussels later on. the bbc‘s adam fleming is there. they are discussing the possibility of a delay and what are your indications of what will happen? they will have

this meeting in about two hours‘ time, it is in the building where they have the summit but it is not they have the summit but it is not the leaders who are meeting, it is their ambassadors. they will have in front of them the text of a potential decision about a brexit extension which will have a maximum end date of the 31st of january so thatis end date of the 31st of january so that is the date that was in the letter sent by the prim minster which he was compelled to do by parliament but it will be made clear that if the uk could and the eu can ratify and approve the deals to their own procedures that brexit can happen earlier and they will put in some dates for it to happen earlier some dates for it to happen earlier so it could happen on the 30th of november, 31st of december or the 3ist november, 31st of december or the 31st of january. this the famous flexte nsion 31st of january. this the famous flextension people had been talking about. the french will have to be

won over because when they met last time, they said, hang on, do we want to make this now? or do we want to wait until the boats have happened in westminster? wouldn‘t it be better to make it much shorter to apply maximum pressure on the parliament to try and get the deal through? we will find out pretty soon through? we will find out pretty soon if the french have been won over. we will hear to the labour mp jim fitzpatrick and at 730, we will speak to gavin williamson as well. a lorry driver is due in court today, charged in connection with the deaths of 39 people found in a refrigerated lorry container in essex. maurice robinson is facing charges of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people and money laundering. our reporter andy moore is in grays, essex for us this morning. what more do we know? yes, well, mr robinson has being held in custody

since wednesday. he is appearing in front of magistrates was this morning, he is 25 —year—olds, from northern ireland. money laundering, 39 counts of manslaughter. three other people are released on bail. meanwhile, an important development from the belgian authorities, they have been looking for the lorry driver who took the container with the 39 people on board to the port of zeebrugge. they believe the man was arrested by police in ireland on saturday and he has been held in custody there. police here describe him asa custody there. police here describe him as a man of interest in their enquiry. in vietnam meanwhile, the police there are taking hair and blood samples from the families of those who believe they may have lost loved ones and that will be used by the police here to help in that very difficult identification process. 0k, difficult identification process. ok, so investigations continue, thank you very much.

world leaders have warned that the fight against the islamic state group is not over, in spite of the death of its leader, abu bakr al—baghdadi. the french president, emmanuel macron, advised allies to remain vigilant about potential revenge attacks. al—baghdadi was killed when he detonated a suicide vest after being cornered by us forces — president trump said he died like a coward. an extraordinary amount of detail that has been coming, notjust from the white house but other us officials of what happened on the ground in northern italy —— northern idlib province. after the rate had taken place, idlib province. after the rate had ta ken place, gathering idlib province. after the rate had taken place, gathering intelligence, this is usually things like computers and hard drive and paperwork. they will be looking for

things that what they describe as actionable. learning information so they can disrupt further is operatives. other nations have been warning the fight against is will continue, not least that —— the kurds who fought with the coalition to fight is inside syria. in northern iraq‘s, the kurdish leader there has set although they welcome there has set although they welcome the move and the operation and the planning of it, the threat from is and regional instability will continue. instagram has told the bbc it‘s extending a ban on graphic posts to include material about self harm and suicide — including pictures, drawings and cartoons. it‘s the company‘s latest response to public concern over the death of 14—year—old molly russell, who took her own life in 2017 after viewing such content. her dad, ian russell, travelled to california to press for urgent reforms, as angus crawford reports.

ian russell is looking for answers about big tech, social media and suicide. this is notjust for molly, this is for every young wasted life. molly took her own life after viewing graphic material about self—harm and suicide. mainly on instagram. despite a crackdown on those posts, look hard enough and they‘re still there, graphic and dark. but today, revealed to bbc news, new tougher measures against a wider range of material. images of methods and materials used in self—harm, that is a significant step forward. i am proud of that step forward. it will take time to implement fully throughout the product but it‘s also not going to be the last step that we take. so that‘s a new commitment, notjust to remove the graphic images

of self—harm but the dark memes and pictures about suicide. success won‘t be measured in the words of the chief executive but whether in time, genuinely, instagram becomes a safer place for young people. children‘s er, accident and emergency. we‘re here on a monday morning... ian‘s with dr free hess. she‘s treating more and more young people who self harm. the numbers are rising rapidly, the ages are decreasing significantly. do you think this is connected with social media? absolutely, absolutely a connection with social media. she always wanted to help people so i'm pretty certain that she would be pushing for change so that young people were safer when they were online and that if they need help, they can more easily find it. so some change in silicon valley

but for now, for molly, ian russell‘s journey goes on. angus crawford, bbc news. just to let you know, we will be talking more about this with ian russell later. if you are feeling emotionally distressed and would like details of organisations which offer advice and support, go online to bbc.co.uk/actionline or you can call for free, at any time, to hear recorded information 0800 066 066. california‘s governor has declared a state—wide emergency as wildfires continue to sweep through the area. 180,000 people have been ordered to leave their homes, and roads around santa rosa were packed with cars as people tried to flee. the biggest blackouts in the state‘s history have already left a million people without electricity. a 13th century masterpiece that had been hanging above a cookerfor years has been sold for more than £20 million pounds at auction.

the painting, called "christ mocked", by the pre—renaissance italian artist cimabue, was found in an elderly french lady‘s kitchen earlier this year, and was apparently spotted just before it was about to be chucked out and taken to the rubbish dump. that is what you call a lucky save. a great find. let‘s return to one of our top stories now. us intelligence agents say they‘ve collected ‘valuable information‘ from the compound in syria where the islamic state group leader, abu bakr al—baghdadi, died over the weekend. he was one of the world‘s most wanted fugitives. so what does his death mean for the war on terror? let‘s speak to macer gifford, not his real name, who travelled to syria to fight against is with kurdish forces in 2015 and 2016. thank you so much for coming in and talking to us about this this morning. a significant find and a significant move for the americans in the fight against isis, do you

think? it is a good day. al-baghdadi cut a swathe of violence through syria and iraq and killed many different civilians and different peoples. his demise hopefully will bea peoples. his demise hopefully will be a terrible blow to the islamic state and actually help rebuild trust in the country and they can hopefully move forward after this. how influential was he still at this point? very. as a symbolic leader of the islamic state, he was still commanding units in the field, many of which have a set of ids, they have attacked refugee camps so they are still a threat to syria and iraq and the wider problem also of him inspiring terrorist atrocities all around the world. his death ——at the hands of the americans spells a

different start in the face of the next round of anti— isis operations. they will try to elect a new leader as quickly as possible and try to show the world they are not beaten but they are still incredibly dangerous. the security personnel around the world need to be very careful about what the next step is. you might even need to consider new legislation in the uk because isis will try and exploit our vulnerabilities now to show that they are really not down and out. you fought with the kurds against is. the british government did not approve of what you did but tell us about the impact on the region and there is so much change at the moment. syria is in a state of confusion at the moment because just a few weeks ago, donald trump decided to pull trips away from the border. the turks have now done at deal with the saudis and russia. that with aside. —— with assad. i

hope it encourages the americans to re—engage with local people, to actually know the value of the sdf which provided the information that got al—baghdadi. to get a new plan to ta ke got al—baghdadi. to get a new plan to take the fight back to isis now. isis and al-qaeda are two very different organisations. isis says it is here and now and so there is an urgency to isis‘ violence. the bowel —— baghdadi inspired atrocities around the world, and the detail he put into the insurgency after the liberation of iraq mac and other places shows he is still a —— iraq and other places so he is a

dangerous man. and allies are saying to remain vigilant about potential revenge attacks, what could have thing could that be? is it wise advice? very wise was that it is you how dangerous isis was in syria and iraq. the parasite adjusted his were financed in raqqa, the people came from raqqa, and the planning came from raqqa, and the planning came from syria. we have to fight there because otherwise they will hit us at home. and president trump was enjoying this victory, tweeting about the big news that was coming and in the press conference as well and in the press conference as well and using language like "dying like and using language like "dying like a dog." what you think of his reaction to the capturing and the death of al—baghdadi? reaction to the capturing and the death of al-baghdadi? he's revelling in it he‘s really criticised in the last few weeks were being —— for pulling out of syria. he has degraded allies on the ground, the

kurds, it has inspired isis to fight on, it‘s created a vacuum that is being exploited by, russia and turkey. so he wants to show he is a big hitter and he can head back against isis. but that isn‘t down to him, that is down to the kurds a nyway him, that is down to the kurds anyway security personnel of the united states. so we need to focus now on the next part of the operation which is getting back into syria and taking the fight to isis. macer gifford, thank you for talking to us. and we will also be speaking to us. and we will also be speaking to the national security later. here‘s carol with a look at this morning‘s weather. is that grass? it is indeed. for many of us, it is a cold start of the day. temperatures have fallen widely to around freezing, just above or below. locally, as low as -4.

above or below. locally, as low as “11. we also have some patchy fog first thing this morning and for the next two days we are looking at dry and sunny conditions stopped by cold by day and night. high pressure is firmly in charge of our weather at the moment so things are fairly settled. you have a weather fronts coming in across the south—west, currently they are bringing rain across the hours of chilly and also jersey, but they are edging towards guernsey and cornwall and devon. when we lose the fog, some of it is quite dense, we will see a lot of dry weather and a lot of crisp, autumnal sunshine. so is currently in north—west scotland, they were going to northern scotland and then eventually north—east scotland, aberdeenshire and the borders later on as the wind veers to a north—easterly. as we head onto the evening and overnight, a lot of clear skies. still those i was coming in and snow at 700 metres. we still do have all of this cloud and rain coming in across the

south—west. it‘s not heavy rain, particularly, and it will maintain the original level. under the clear skies these are the kind of temperatures you can expect in towns and cities. in rural areas you would be lower than this. so some frost to start the day tomorrow, but also some patchy mist and fog. that will all lift, leaving most of the uk with a dry and sunny day. always exceptions for the showers coming in across the north—east on that reason still doubt whether franklin across the south—west, introducing more cloud and rain. the rain is generally on and off throughout the day. despite the fact we have cloud it will still be a bright day. temperatures, eight in the week to 13 in london —— eight in lerwick. the next batch is replaced with a new batch of the atlantic does make off the atlantic for weather fronts.

the cloud will be building in from the south—west, heralding the arrival of this band of rain coming in across wales, south—west england and towards the isle of wight. and also into northern ireland. temperatures, eight in the north— 13 in the south. temperatures claiming a bit because we are under the influence of the atlantic rather than the north sea. thank you very much. see you later. my thank you very much. see you later. my pleasure. back to politics now and you may recall when this was a familiar message from the labour leader, jeremy corbyn. we don‘tjust we don‘t just need we don‘tjust need another on its that was back in may and it was a demand which mr corbyn repeated many times in parliament and in media interviews. today he could secure an early general election by voting for one on the 12th of december but the indications

good morning to you. thank you very much indeed. in morning. we have seen much indeed. in morning. we have seen it over again, jeremy corbyn saying that the people decide. you area saying that the people decide. you are a backbencher, but what is the labor party‘s view on this? are a backbencher, but what is the labor party's view on this? term is being quite clear. if we can get no deal of the table here will support a general election, the european union is expected today to indicate it is prepared to extend brexit in sealjanuary 31. last week the commons voted to support the second reading of the brexit bill, the government wanted to do that in three days, the house that that was too quick. labour said we would do it in two months, eight weeks, and the government says that is too slow. so we can slip the difference, get brexit done and then have the general election and then move the country forward. let's just talk about today‘s vote. as far as you understand it, what are you going to do today? are you going to vote for the early general election that borisjohnson

the early general election that boris johnson wants on the early general election that borisjohnson wants on december 21? the prime ministers going to abstain so the prime ministers going to abstain so the vote today means a general election is not going to happen with the prime minister‘s timetable. and asi the prime minister‘s timetable. and as i indicated, jeremy corbyn has quite clearly that here would agree toa quite clearly that here would agree to a general election because we wa nt to to a general election because we want to move on to the important domestic issues and get brexit out of the way. so today the commons will not support a general election and that means we can move on later this week to other options. let's talk about this other proposal by the snp and the lib dems who said they would support an election on december nine and a different kind of reference about that. would you support their cold for the general election? i think the lib dems and snp are playing party politics with us snp are playing party politics with us because they have an advantage in the polls in the areas that they think they need to do well in, come the general election. the government is using brexit as a bluff and that

has been shot. it‘s quite clearly not going to force the commons into an early general election. we really need to get to a conclusion on brexit. commons voted on tuesday to support the second reading of the bill. there is a majority, i believe in election for a sensible brexit deal with the european union and the government have a responsibility to the country to secure that agreement. labour is saying we are willing to discuss, negotiate and agree to a sensible brexiteer and then we can move onto a general election. do feel it is difficult, and you have expand the reasons why times here on breakfast, why labour is not voting for a general election. do you find it difficult to justify that refusal to accept the offer? i think it's quite clear the offer? i think it's quite clear the country wants to move on. they wa nt to the country wants to move on. they want to get brexit out of the way. we‘ve been on the snapper 3.5 years, we‘ve been negotiating, we‘ve been discussing and voting on meaningful proposals the government for 11.5 or

11.75 months now, we need to get onto the important, domestic issues of the day, which is why it is embarrassing, however, it is difficult of this parliament that we can‘t make a decision. and i can totally understand why the general public are so frustrated at the politicians who they trust to actually make decisions for them. they are unable to arrive at a conclusion. we really need to be able to do the business on the behalf of the country. we know the eu ambassadors are meeting today. if they extend the brexit deadline, if they extend the brexit deadline, if they extend the brexit deadline, if they extend it, for example, until january 31, as i going to change them to my‘s position, i presume you will tell me know? i think it should help labour‘s edition. if the government bring back a sensible programme position and we can do a bill which brings us to a conclusion which i think the majority of mps wa nt which i think the majority of mps want a sensible brexiteer deal to honour and respect the referendum of

2016, then we can get brexit out of the way and we can move on to the implementation period, which is going to be important negotiations, which will run for several years where we can dispose of brexit is the roadblock to everything else that parliament needs to do. and withjeremy, that parliament needs to do. and with jeremy, it‘s that parliament needs to do. and withjeremy, it‘s quite clear, he says he will support a general election once a no—deal brexit is off the table, and that is now within our grasp because the house of commons last week voted for the first time for a brexit builder. very briefly, there is a deadline this week. mark brexit bill.|j very briefly, there is a deadline this week. mark brexit bill. i think if the eu ambassadors say there is an extension, that takes the deadline of the table. that clears it out, the decision today not to go for a general election within the government because ‘s timetable means the government has to come forward with a timetable motion to deal with brexit and then we can look at a general election. jim

fitzpatrick, thank you very much. we did ask someone from the labour benches, but they declined. we‘ll also be to gavin williamson later. and matt dawson, is he about to witness another victory for england against south africa, not to beat wales, they lost by three points, but it is england and south africa in the final, not new zealand. it's 7:27am. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i‘m alex bushill. one of the capital‘s biggest car park providers has been criticised for failing to provide sufficient parking for disabled people. government guidelines say car parks with more than 80 places should have 6% disabled parking. but data from ncp‘s own website has revealed the company is falling far short of that target.

under the equality act they are ignoring disabled people‘s fundamental human rights and they‘re getting away with it because it‘s very often the case that the companies are not going to be troubled by litigation. in a statement ncp said: "we take the issue of disabled parking seriously and we would appear to have fallen short of the standards we have set. we are therefore looking into the issues you have raised." and you can see more on that story on inside out london. that‘s tonight at 7:30pm on bbc one. the government is being urged to extend the time limit for women to store their frozen eggs. at the moment women have up to ten years to use them or they‘re destroyed, unless they have certain medical conditions. but london—based charity progress educational trust says the rule "breaches human rights." the government says it has no plans to change the law.

let‘s take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, an earlier signal failure is causing minor delays on the circle line and severe delays on the district and hammersmith and city line. there are also minor delays on the metropolitan and northern lines. severe delays on the bakerloo line and the overg round. on the roads, and in the west end, one lane is closed for roadworks southbound on shaftesbury avenue at the junction with high holborn. delays in lewisham. in shepherds bush, lane two is closed on a219 wood lane southbound at the junction with aao westway. and that is your comprehensive travel update. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning to you. stepping out the door this morning could be something of a shock to the system, probably the coldest morning we‘ve seen for some of us

over this autumn period. some mist patches around as well but then we set for a lot of fine weather for today and the next couple of days as well. but after that chilly start with temperatures at orjust slightly below freezing, we‘re really going to struggle today with the temperatures. a high of 11 celsius at the very best. as we go through the night tonight we‘ve got a little bit of high cloud just pushing towards us right the way through the day and it should be right across us for a time. it means into tomorrow morning, it‘s not quite as chilly as this morning, but still rurally we could see a touch of ground frost, three orfour degrees here. and then tomorrow, another fine day, benefits of high pressure, our fairweather friend, dry and settled, just a little bit of cloud just drifting around around at times. temperatures up to 12—13 celsius, a smidge up on today. and another fine and settled day for you on wednesday, becoming a little bit cloudier though as we see something of a change for thursday and friday. it turns milder but wetter too. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half—an—hour. now though it‘s back to louise and dan.

hello this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. here‘s a summary of this morning‘s main stories from bbc news. mps will vote today on whether to hold a general election on the 12th of december. it‘sthe prime minister boris johnson‘s third attempt to secure an early election, but he needs the support of two thirds of mps — which he‘s not expected to get. in brussels, the eu is also meeting to discuss giving the uk a brexit delay. world leaders have warned that the fight against the islamic state group is not over, in spite of the death of its leader, abu bakr al—baghdadi. the french president, emmanuel macron, advised allies to remain vigilant about potential revenge attacks. al—baghdadi was killed when he detonated a suicide vest after being cornered by us forces. president trump said he died like a coward. a lorry driver is due in court today, charged in connection with the deaths of 39 people found in a refrigerated lorry container in essex. maurice robinson is facing charges of manslaughter,

conspiracy to traffic people and money laundering. in vietnam, police are collecting dna from people who fear their relatives are among those who died. instagram has told the bbc it‘s extending a ban on graphic posts to include material about self harm and suicide — including pictures, drawings and cartoons. the move is in response to concerns raised by the death of british teenager — molly russell, whose family discovered she had been looking at content online before she took her own life. herfather, ian, has called on the company to speed up its changes. the family of a british backpacker who disappeared after a beach party in cambodia have flown to the country to join searches for her. amelia bambridge, who‘s 21 and from worthing in sussex, was last seen in the resort of koh rong on wednesday, but did not return to her hostel. her handbag containing her purse, phone and bank cards has been found on a beach nearby.

banks are saying that far too many customers are banks are saying that far too many customers a re left banks are saying that far too many customers are left cut off because of online banking practices. billions of pounds have been invested to ensure systems are robust and secure. carol has the proper details for you for the weather later. i would do a guess the headline for you. the firefighters had to save a 30 stone pig living in a flat above a shop because he was too flat —— too fat to go downstairs. this pig called twiglet was bought for a pet for elaine‘s golf that grandchildren and

it lived upstairs in the flat. it couldn‘t get out and so the fire service had to come and save the peak and the headline is, fireman ham. iwas peak and the headline is, fireman ham. i was trying to find a link between 30 stone people. some 25 stone would be have played on the weekend. "there‘s more to come" — that‘s the message from the england head coach eddiejones as his side prepare for their first world cup final in 12 years. england were utterly dominant against new zealand in the semi finals on saturday, and they‘ll play south africa in the final after the springboks narrowly beat wales. we played a great team on saturday but we didn‘t feel we played as well as we can and the charge for us is

to keep improving and there are small margins now, as you go through, the margins get a smaller but the improvements you can make are still significant and we are looking to see how we can keep improving for this week‘s game and thatis improving for this week‘s game and that is the exciting part for us. let‘s say good morning to matt dawson who won the world cup with england in 2003, he‘s out in tokyo. not much celebration after the final whistle. that was one of my favourite moments of the day. hopefully not harping on too much longer but 2003, martinjohnson would be honest the whole time. no—one celebrates until you have the

hands on the trophy and england have been like that all the way through this tournament. they have been very polite, well mannered to their supporters and encouraging but they have gone straight down into the dressing room. no friends and family on the pitch and they are focused on the nextjob, on the pitch and they are focused on the next job, the on the pitch and they are focused on the nextjob, the next game, and the semi—final is no different. the nextjob, the next game, and the semi-final is no different. what is it like watching this now as an england fan instead of being part of the drama? it is amazing. i have loved every second of it. while we we re loved every second of it. while we were covering the games back on five live in london to now being in tokyo for the last two and a bit weeks, i ama for the last two and a bit weeks, i am a realfan. i have been getting plenty of messages on social that i probably sound a bit too much like a

fan when i am doing the commentary, but i am loving the way that england are playing. i love the whole atmosphere, the social, the fact it is injapan and japan have held a magnificent tournament, probably helps. but to think that england now have a genuine chance of picking up the trophy and i suppose for a rug that from a rugby ‘s perspective, i would love to go out and have a beer and compare notes and see what it is like now compared to what it is like 16 years ago. going back to 2003, i know it is a team game but some of the individual performances, i know eddiejones the individual performances, i know eddie jones wouldn‘t want to the individual performances, i know eddiejones wouldn‘t want to pick out individuals but they were just brilliant and being in a team where you have people being able to perform on the big stage like that as you did in 2003, it must be such as you did in 2003, it must be such a boost to the others. yes, the individuals have been sensational. i know there were headlines from some of the back row at the weekend but i have got to say, 1—15 have played in

that white shirt, particularly over the last few weeks against australia and new zealand, have been magnificent. the question will be can they maintain that form and how —— can they perform against south africa like that who, let‘s face it, bought the pants off wales and managed to scrape over the line againstan managed to scrape over the line against an incredible effort from wales. contrasting methods of play but i truly believe that england have the gameplan that can take on anyone. they have the physicality, the mentality and of course they have the support. it was so heartbreaking to watch wales yesterday. too many injuries, they had been patched up one too many times in that game against south africa but now as england look ahead, what will they be doing for the next few days? because they do now have time to rest a little and

then to prepare. it was heartbreaking to see that from wales. what an incredible feat that would have been to have england and wales in the final and i felt for them, felt for the fans, felt for them, felt for the fans, felt for the players. i think the team held together fantastically well. going into this week, it is a lot about rest and making sure you are not thinking too much about rugby. it can be all—encompassing and it can ta ke can be all—encompassing and it can take over your life when you can‘t go out to the hotel, you can‘t go out for a coffee. your phone is lit up out for a coffee. your phone is lit up with messages of congratulations and all ofa up with messages of congratulations and all of a sudden you waste a lot of mental energy in the week before that final so i think the players will be trying to genuinely rest up, strapped themselves, go and find their friends strapped themselves, go and find theirfriends and strapped themselves, go and find their friends and family away from tokyo and do some cultural visits, a little bit of training and prepare

themselves for what will be the game of their lives. it is great to talk to you. i can sense the enthusiasm. there is no problem being a fan, he is allowed to be a fan! the game of their lives. matt dawson live in tokyo for us this morning. life changing if they get it right. he‘s already held two parliamentary votes to secure an early general election. today the prime minister boris johnson will try again — with little hope of this being the third time lucky. here to tell us what the government‘s next step might be is the education secretary, gavin williamson, who also has details about a plan to improve sixth form college buildings in england. he‘s in our westminster studio. we will talk to you about those education plans first this morning. inviting academies and six forms in a bid to upgrade facilities. how does the criteria work? we are

putting forward £400 million to ensure that schools are able to make the improvements to the facilities they want, whether that is to expand places and the number of pupils they are able to have but one of the key criteria is is ensuring that we are trying to keep a good focus on financial management so the money they have got, they are spending it well. if they are spending more than £150 on a head teacher, we want them to be able to answer a key criteria as to whether they are doing it and whether it is a good investment. as to whether they are doing it and whether it is a good investmentlj whether it is a good investment.” am sure you have seen whether it is a good investment.” am sure you have seen reports of some teachers having to clean toilets and had parents having to buy books. it is bringing spending on education back to how it was ten yea rs on education back to how it was ten years ago. belts are incredibly tight in the education sector.” recognise it has been tough and tight. we have seen standards increase right across our schools all across england over the last nine years as a result of reforms. standards attainment has been going

up standards attainment has been going up that finance after the last... over the last few years has been tight. currently we spent £850 million a week on our schools and thatis million a week on our schools and that is increasing to 1000 million in the following year after next. we are seeing big increases in the amount we are spending but this money is on top of this. it is about ensuring it is the best we possibly can. it builds on similar investments we made last year and we will make similar investments next year as well. you mentioned some. is going back to my old track trade as chief whip. has he got any chance of getting this true? are the numbers there? is without a doubt a challenging vote but we have one of the first chief whips than anyone

can possibly have and if anyone can pull it off, it is going to be mark spencer. judging by your old job, what is he doing to get mps in line? well, we are starting to see a fracturing. had the liberal party that the liberal democrats, the snp and labour all saying they would not vote for a general election. the liberal democrats. they are all saying it is saying no to a general election and opposition parties want to get rid of governments and if they want to do that, they should have a general election. we have a rotten parliament, it votes against no deal, it votes against a deal, it votes against a general election and it actually even undermines the prime minister‘s position when he is going to europe to negotiate the best dealfor britain.

going to europe to negotiate the best deal for britain. i think the british public just want to best deal for britain. i think the british publicjust want to have the opportunity to have their say and choose the government that they want. you say it is a challenging vote but is that code for no chance? no, no, not at all. he can get this through but it will be challenging. labour need to recognise that their position is totally unsustainable. parties who are leaders of this opposition are meant to oppose and inspire to be prime minister, that aspire to be prime minister, not run away from a general election. does it mean the snp and liberal democrats bringing forward the election to set —— december the ninth is going to be looked at? the best way to get to a general election is through the fixed term parliaments act and being able to vote on it. the legislation and all the procedures are in place. taking any form of it through the commons or the house of lords, even small, can be quite challenging. so that is a possibility then? the government will always look at every single

option but the best way of delivering a vote in terms of the people being able to have their say is by voting for the motion tonight and that is what the government‘s totally focused on. i am sure you are aware this is all meant to be happening this week. it‘s to be thursday. listening to this, a few clips of your lead over the neck that last weeks and months. come out of the eu one october that' no, i would not extend to stop i would rather be dead in a ditch. coming out of the eu on october the 31st, no ifs or buts. that is why we are coming out of the eu on october the sist, coming out of the eu on october the 31st, come what may. cheering and applause. how embarrassing is that the borisjohnson applause. how embarrassing is that the boris johnson and applause. how embarrassing is that the borisjohnson and your party? well, the prime minister has always been absolutely sat in delivering our exit and the european union on october 31 and parliament want to

undermine our national negotiating position, our ability to get the best deal with europe by passing legislation that would have made it illegal and effectively parliament asked for an extension for our stay in the european union. i think that‘s disgraceful. i think a lot of people right across britain think thatis people right across britain think that is disgraceful. but everybody is absolutely clear that the prime minister is totally determined to deliver our exit from the european union. but the when you have a parliament that is willing to undermine his negotiation position in europe, that is a challenge. and the only way that we can get around thatis the only way that we can get around that is actually having a general election, giving the option of the british people as to who they want to form the government, and i don‘t know why other parties seem to be so incredibly afraid of that. it seems com pletely incredibly afraid of that. it seems completely illogical. it‘s usually oppositions calling for a general election and governments running away from it. it‘s completely the reverse on this. this government

says this parliament is totally broken, it needs to be able to go to the people, the people decide and let the people determine as to who is going to take the next step forward. i think i should be a conservative government, i hope the british people do. do except thursday is completely off the table, it isn‘t going to happen? thursday is completely off the table, it isn't going to happen? the default is we live on october 31. when parliament asked for the extension, it is now in the hands of the european unionists. but the default position is october 31. we will keep a very close eye on what the eu say and will dictate what happens from this point. very interesting. "the government will a lwa ys interesting. "the government will always look at every single option." we will continue to follow that story as we have over many, many months. it was really cold this morning, carol has all the details. good morning. good morning! we had

some frost, temperatures around the freezing mark, although locally we have seen them as low as —4. it‘s not just france, we have seen them as low as —4. it‘s notjust france, we have dense patches of fog to watch out first thing. so if you are travelling, do bear that in thing. so if you are travelling, do bearthat in mind thing. so if you are travelling, do bear that in mind —— fronts. what‘s happening is high pressure is firmly in charge of our weather, so things are fairly settled. we also have a clutch of weather fronts coming in from the south—west, they are currently producing rain across the isles of scilly and jersey. they will get into, that rain will get in to guernsey as well as cornwall and devon throughout the course of the day. and there will always be a little bit more cloud ahead of it as well. at the end is like, it will be on and off and it will still be brightest but the car coming in in the south. moving north of that, when we lose the mist and fog a bit of dry weather and sunshine. so is in the north—west of scotland this morning on the north—westerly wind. —— showers. and we will see more of them across parts of the north—east

as the wind veers to move north—easterly. temperatures, 7—11, below par for this stage of october. as we head onto the evening and overnight, once again into clear skies the temperature is going to follow a quite quickly. we will still have showers across the north—east of scotland, snow up to 700 metres. and we also have cloud and rain coming into the south—west, and rain coming into the south—west, a bit more cloud getting into south wales. so here temperatures won‘t be as low as they are going to be elsewhere. and these temperatures represent towns and cities. it will be lower than this in the countryside. tomorrow we start off with a patchy mist and fog that would lift through the morning, the frost lift and it is what the difference once again. a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine, showers coming in across the north—east of scotland, and still this rain coming in across the south—west of england, potentially just getting in across the south—west of england, potentiallyjust getting into the south—west of wales as well. temperatures, eight in the north to 12 as we push towards plymouth. as

we move from tuesday into wednesday we move from tuesday into wednesday we say goodbye to this set of fronts only to be replaced by another sat coming in, effectively bumping this high pressure closer to the east of the uk. we start a chilly note with some frost, patchy mist and mist and fog and then a lot of sunshine around. but all the time as these fronts approach, the cloud will build in from the south—west and you can see where we are expecting the rain, the rain that bit heavier. eight in lerwick, 13 in plymouth. all i can report is it is jolly cold! it was cold this morning. it's coming up to 7:50am. the long—awaited public inquiry report into what happened on the night of the grenfell tower fire will be released this week. it will look at how the fire — which killed 72 people — started, and then how it spread. in the first of two reports,

graham satchell has been to meet sandra, who‘s fighting forjustice after losing her 12—year—old niece jessica. 71 people died on that night and a further one died later. we need answers. i often get asked, "don‘t you think it‘s time to start focusing on something else — on your own life?" no. i can‘t. because if there is one more loss of life out of similar circumstances, how can we move on? sandra lost her niece, jessica urbano, in the fire at grenfell tower. jessica wasjust 12. she was a beautiful, bubbly — full of life, a joy to everyone around. she was very funny. and we miss her. a lot. on the night of the fire, jessica was on her own. her mum was at work,

cleaning and office overnight. jessica rang the fire service and was told to stay put. at no time was she asked to leave. um... they were told that the firemen were coming up to save them. and no—one did. no—one did. jessica was on the phone for 55 minutes. it was the longest call of the night. the line was still open when she died. to my mind, hers was a managed death. the public enquiry heard that the fire at grenfell tower was out of control after 27 minutes, but the stay—put policy, telling residents to remain in their flats, was left in place for almost two hours. the fact that no—one took charge

in starting an evacuation early on, the fact that they didn‘t know how to evacuate people, really, from that type of building, baffles me. had they evacuated early on, we would have had a lot less lives lost. the remit of the enquiry‘s first report is narrow. it will look at the events of the night, how the fire started and spread, and the fire service is likely to be criticised. but the bigger questions about building regulations, the role of the local authority, construction companies, blame, and justice won‘t be addressed until next year. and still, today, there are hundreds of tower blocks across the country covered in combustible cladding. this stuff is on halls of residence, it‘s on hospitals, and it‘s on all sorts of public buildings. you know, it isn‘tjust our battle, it‘s everybody‘s battle. i need to see people blamed.

i need to see people go behind bars for this. how else can we get any peace? it is still so harrowing, and thank you to sandra for talking to us. on tomorrow‘s programme we‘ll be taking a closer look at the response of the fire service that night. it is almost eight a.m.. banks are being warned this morning over the level of it failures that leave millions without access to their money. we have come back to this quite a few times. how many times have i sat here talking about banking services not working, you can‘t login, the banks apologise and the mps say they will get up on that. this is part of a special report. the morning treasury committees as online banking services are cussing too often and the disruption that is caused is just "unacceptable". they‘re now warning that firms will be fined and face more

regulation if things don‘t improve. the report also highlighs how banks are closing branches and pushing more of us to use apps and online banking but those services aren‘t reliable enough. speaking of banks, profits at europe‘s largest bank — hsbc — are down by 18% this morning — but still came in at a staggering £3.8 billion for the last three months. but that was lower than expected. the bank‘s warned of a "challenging" environment ahead after tackling the uncertainty of brexit, the trade war between the us and china and ongoing unrest in hong kong. the bank, remember, makes most of its profit in asia. and — here are a few snaps of my weekend. how were yours? are they fake? they are - don't tell anyone! but when it comes to selfies with celebs — should there be rules? reports this weekend say a waiter at a hotel in london asked actor emma thompson for a selfie. she politely said no because she was with friends,

but he was then suspended by his bosses for asking. emma has since called the hotel to help him get hisjob back. it really does raise questions about selfie etiquette. according to google, we take 93 million selfies a day — a new selfie is posted to instagram every second. these are just the posted ones, the number of self is that people take and then reject. no, not that one. you are speaking to a media lawyer and the best advice is to maybe just wait until the finish their meal. and he was saying if they are in an environment where they are clearly not working, but if they were on a red carpet, maybe that would be ok. i noticed you didn‘t wait earlier. politeness goes a long way, ben. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. by by the way, rick astley is going to

be on the programme a little bit later, ok? and lots more. and also mike. good morning from bbc london, i‘m alex bushill. one of the capital‘s biggest car park providers has been criticised for failing to provide sufficient parking for disabled people. government guidelines say car parks with more than 80 places should have 6% disabled parking. but data from ncp‘s own website has revealed the company is falling far short of that target. under the equality act they‘re ignoring disabled people‘s fundamental human rights and they‘re getting away with it because it‘s very often the case that the companies are not going to be troubled by litigation. in a statement ncp said: "we take the issue of disabled parking seriously and we would appear to have fallen short of the standards we have set. we are therefore looking into the issues you have raised." and you can see more on that story

on inside out london. that‘s tonight at 7:30 on bbc one. the government is being urged to extend the time limit for women to store their frozen eggs. at the moment women have up to ten years to use them, or they‘re destroyed, unless they have certain medical conditions. but london—based charity progress educational trust says the rule "breaches human rights." the government says it has no plans to change the law. let‘s take a look at the travel situation now. severe delays on the bakerloo line. on the tube, an earlier signal failure is causing minor dealys on the circle line and severe delays on the district and hammersmith & city line. there are also minor delays on the metropolitan and northern lines and the overground as well. you have been warned. on the trains, disruption on southeastern services through lewisham due to a fault with the signalling system. on the roads, and it‘s slow on the m25 clockwise from junction 10 tojunction 11 due to foggy conditions and a broken—down car.

in shepherds bush, lane two is closed on a219 wood lane southbound at the junction with a40 westway. in the west end, one lane is closed for roadworks southbound on shaftesbury avenue at the junction with high holborn. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning to you. stepping out the door this morning could be something of a shock to the system, probably the coldest morning we‘ve seen for some of us over this autumn period. some mist patches around as well but then we set for a lot of fine weather for today and the next couple of days as well. but after that chilly start with temperatures at orjust slightly below freezing, we‘re really going to struggle today with the temperatures. a high of 11 celsius at the very best. as we go through the night tonight we‘ve got a little bit of high cloud just pushing towards us right the way through the day and it should be right

across us for a time. it means into tomorrow morning, it‘s not quite as chilly as this morning, but still rurally we could see a touch of ground frost, three orfour degrees here. and then tomorrow, another fine day, benefits of high pressure, our fairweather friend, dry and settled, just a little bit of cloud just drifting around around at times. temperatures up to 12—13 celsius, a smidge up on today. and another fine and settled day for you on wednesday, becoming a little bit cloudier though as we see something of a change for thursday and friday. it turns milder but wetter too. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today... mps will vote later on whether to hold a december election — the prime minister‘s third attempt. while in brussels the eu‘s expected to agree to a three month brexit extension. a warning the threat from islamic state isn‘t over despite the death of its leader abu bakr al—baghdadi. molly russell killed herself after seeing pictures of self harm and suicide online, now instagram tells the bbc it‘s introducing tougher controls — we‘ll speak to molly‘s dad shortly. bring on south africa. england fans rush for tickets for their first world cup final in 12 years. but there‘s heartbreak for wales as they narrowly lose their semifinal. is there such a thing as selfie etiquette? we take 93 million of them a day. but should there be rules when we ask celebs for a pic? i‘ll look at the confusing world of selfies.

more dance—off drama for mike — he‘s saved by head judge shirley after his halloween tango. good after his halloween tango. morning. a cold and fro start good morning. a cold and frosty start today. and we have patches of fog to watch out for. for most it will be dry with sunshine. one or two exceptions. i will tell you where they are in 15 minutes! it‘s monday the 28th of october. our top story. mps will vote today on whether to hold a general election on the 12th of december. it‘s borisjohnson‘s third attempt to secure an early election — while in brussels, the eu is also meeting to discuss giving the uk a brexit delay. let‘s get a bit more detail. for the vote on a december general election to be passed today, the prime minister needs the support of two thirds of the house of commons — that‘s 434 votes — a total he‘s unlikely to achieve. in brussels, a brexit delay until the end

of january is on the table — with an option for the uk to leave earlier if a deal is done. however, if they don‘t agree to a deadline extension, the uk is still due to leave the eu on thursday. but that outcome seems increasingly unlikely. in a moment we‘ll get more on that meeting in brussels from adam fleming. first, let‘s speak to our political correspondent chris mason in westminster. chris, when will this election happen? many people want a general election. when is it likely to happen? you a lwa ys when is it likely to happen? you always have the best questions! i a lwa ys always have the best questions! i always feel i have pitiful answers when i try and be definitive about this process because it is almost impossible to be so. why? well, what is the root cause of this hullabaloo around brexit in the last few months? the root cause is that the government has not had a majority. not even a simple majority. more mps need to vote for them then all of us put together. what chance do they have tonight and getting a two

thirds majority, a supermajority? well, we should hearfrom thirds majority, a supermajority? well, we should hear from their education secretary, in this chair on breakfast 15 or 20 minutes ago. what was his verdict? it is without a doubta what was his verdict? it is without a doubt a challenging vote but we have one of the best chief whips you can have in terms of mark spencer. if anyone will put off, it will be mark spencer. translation? they are not going to win and he knows that. he said that later in his conversation with dan that it may be possible. but they kind of know it isn‘t. what is plan b? our good old trusted friend, plan b. there has been suggestion from the snp and liberal democrats for an election on december the 9th, if you days earlier. the condition being if the government does not try and get its brexit plan through the comments in advance. the government has been banging on about the vote tonight but what about that plan b? will they be willing to go with that?

they will be voting for an election tonight but the government will look at every single option but the best way of delivering a vote in terms of the people being able to have their say is by voting for the motion tonight. translation? yes, they probably will look at it. meanwhile, labour say that they are keen on a general election too but they have their terms to be factored in. they wa nt their terms to be factored in. they want a no deal taken off the table at any stage. either at the end of january if that is when the delay is until or even the transition period which is the period that will follow immediately after brexit where little will change and it will be a quick, hopefully, solution in getting a free trade deal. i will borrow a line from tim shipman of the sunday times which sums up where we are, the deadlock is deadlocked in deadlock. not for the first time! chris, thank you very much for the

moment. the meeting of eu ambassadors gets under way in brussels in two hours. the bbc‘s adam fleming is there. adam, when will we learn if they are willing to grant that brexit delay? the result of this meeting could change everything, couldn‘t it? the result of this meeting could change everything, couldn't it? yes, this is going to be the ambassadors from the 27 other eu countries, not eu leaders. their representatives in brussels. in front of them is a piece of paper spelling out the flex—tention, which would be flexible in the sense that if the uk can pass or ratify the deal before then, the uk could leave on an earlier date. they are suggesting that brexit dates are of the 30th of november, 31st of december or the end of january. that november, 31st of december or the end ofjanuary. that is november, 31st of december or the end of january. that is why it is called a flex—tention. for it to go through the eu they have to convince france. last time they met a couple of days ago the french were not sure in making this decision now, they suggested waiting until the

situation in the house of commons becomes clearer tonight and also the french suggested the best way of getting the deal through british parliament would be to have a short and sharp deadline, perhaps as to the 15th of november. i imagine the only reason why this has been put on the table today in this way is because over the weekend the french have been convinced and that eve ryo ne have been convinced and that everyone will sign up to this and the uk has to approve it as well. but we will find out in a few hours, flex—tention or not. but we will find out in a few hours, flex-tention or not. we saw your face when you said the 31st of december, that would ruin your christmas! i'm going to a remote island. it is not my decision, obviously! thank you. a lorry driver is due in court today, charged in connection with the deaths of 39 people found

in a refrigerated lorry container in essex. maurice robinson is facing charges of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people and money laundering. in vietnam, police are collecting dna from people who fear their relatives are among those who died. world leaders have warned that the fight against the islamic state group is not over, in spite of the death of its leader, abu bakr al—baghdadi. the french president, emmanuel macron, advised allies to remain vigilant about potential revenge attacks. al—baghdadi was killed when he detonated a suicide vest after being cornered by us forces. president trump said he died like a coward. our middle east correspondent tom bateman is in turkey near the syrian border. good morning. thank you forjoining us. good morning. thank you forjoining us. more details are emerging about what happened in the raid? good morning. absolutely, we‘ve been getting an extraordinary amount of detail notjust from the white house but also from us officials about what happened on the ground there. we know that those special forces spent at least two hours scouring the rubble after those two houses in

the rubble after those two houses in the compound were levelled, shot at by us special forces helicopters. what the troops were doing was gathering intelligence. this is usually things like computers and ha rd usually things like computers and hard drives and paperwork. this will be something they want to action after getting that intelligence, actionable intelligence, that is how they normally refer to it, to disrupt any further plans or break—up part of the group that that information may help them to do but at the same time, as you suggested, there are warnings from other world leaders and neighbouring countries that this does not mean the end of islamic state. in syria. and at the same time we had news last night from kurdish militant fighters that a lieutenant of abu bakr al—baghdadi, ibrahim awwad ibrahim al—badri, was also killed in a air strike —— abu al—hassan al—muhajir.

thank you. the family of a british backpacker who disappeared after a beach party in cambodia have flown to the country to join searches for her. amelia bambridge, who‘s 21 and from worthing in sussex, was last seen in the resort of koh rong on wednesday, but did not return to her hostel. her handbag containing her purse, phone and bank cards has been found on a beach nearby. california‘s governor has declared a state—wide emergency as wildfires continue to sweep through the area. 180,000 people have been ordered to leave their homes, and roads around santa rosa were packed with cars as people tried to flee. the biggest blackouts in the state‘s history have already left a million people without electricity. i‘m sure this will get you checking the pictures in your house! a thirteenth century masterpiece that had been hanging above a cooker for years has been sold for more than £20 million pounds at auction. the painting, called "christ mocked", by the pre—renaissance italian artist cimabue, was found

in an elderly french lady‘s kitchen earlier this year, and was apparently spotted just before it was about to be chucked out and taken to the rubbish dump. a remarkable story which has landed quite a lot of cash and someone‘s pocket! molly russell was just 14 years old when she took her own life after viewing graphic material about self—harm and suicide on her instagram account. in the two years since her death, her father ian russell has been calling on the social media platform to tackle the issue. today, instagram has said it will take further action. our reporter angus crawford, who travelled with ian to silicon valley, has this report. ian russell is looking for answers — about big tech, social media and suicide. this isn‘tjust for molly, this is for every young, wasted life. children‘s er, accident and emergency. we‘re here on a monday morning...

ian‘s with doctor free hess. she is treating more and more young people who self—harm. i personally have had as young as seven years old, who have had a full on attempt of suicide. the numbers are rising rapidly, the ages are decreasing significantly. do you think this is connected with social media? absolutely, absolutely connected with social media. at 5:38am, he found her lifeless body. mallory grossman was just 12 when she ended her own life. her mother, diane, believes she was bullied to death. in part, on social media. now she tours the country, sounding a warning. one high school had nine suicides in one year. nine children. hindsight is cruel. hindsight is very cruel. that is the toughest thing to cope with, isn‘t it? yes, it is.

when i share that people think the worst day of my life was the day she died, i say no, it's the day before. it was the day before. there‘s a million things you wish you had done differently. molly‘s father ian russelljoins us now from central london. thank you so much forjoining us and speaking to us about this. i know this is really important to you. just listening to diane talking about her daughter, mallory, and saying there are things she wished she had done. so many people can understand that sentiment? she had done. so many people can understand that sentiment7m she had done. so many people can understand that sentiment? it is very easy to understand that. i think many parents in the uk today didn‘t quite know what they should or shouldn‘t do to try and keep their children safe online, because it is so easy for them to come across harmful content online. it is quite a new problem. molly has some

older sisters, and our middle daughter is only three years older than molly. the difference that three years makes is huge. the amount of content that became available, harmful content, that became available online. and the earlier access that smartphones provided to youngsters to that content, it has made it so much harderfor content, it has made it so much harder for us content, it has made it so much harderfor us to content, it has made it so much harder for us to protect our children. you seem to think it has accelerated. i know that after molly died you discovered what she had been looking at and the kind of content. what kind of things hatching bit —— what kind of things had she been searching for? i'm guessing, but i think she probably found herself becoming depressed. she was always very self—sufficient, and liked to find her own answers and liked to find her own answers and she looked towards the internet to give her support and help that she may well have received. but she also found a dark, bleak world of

content that accelerated her towards more such content. the algorithms that platforms use push similar content towards you. if you have spent time looking at a particular subject, it encourages you to stay on their platform by providing you with further such content. so i think molly entered that dark rabbit hole of depressive, suicidal content. some were as simple as little cartoons, a black and white pencil drawing of a girl who would said —— he said, who would love a suicidal girl? others were more shocking but it led molly to a dark and dangerous place indeed.” shocking but it led molly to a dark and dangerous place indeed. i know you‘ve been on this journey to america and specifically on that point, from what i understand, instagram say they will try and extend this ban they have on graphic content including pictures, drawings

and even cartoons. i know you are really passionate about getting things to change. and they are changing things. are you pleased with what they have said? i'm really pleased that instagram are taking a positive step forward. they said earlier this year they took down double the amount of harmful posts they have in the past. 834,000, if i remember correctly. it sounds like a huge number but other than doubling the number of posts it would be great if they find a way to take down ten times the number of posts and really reduce potentially harmful content that is on their platform. this is serious. i honestly believe that by doing so, they will save young lives and stop other youngsters ending up like molly did. and you talk about young lives, one of the shocking things from when you have been in america is how young, you heard from that doctor, talking about a seven—year—old?

doctor, talking about a seven-year-old? yes, dr hess dealt with a seven—year—old and she dealt with a seven—year—old and she dealt with some cases as young as five. that is what she told us. this problem is increasing. the latest stats in america and in this country show that both self—harm and suicide in young people is increasing. it is also something affecting ever younger people. so it is dreadfully important that something is done to improve this and remove the link between harmful content online and turn the internet back into the great place that it should be, and we should all be able to enjoy it and use it safely. there will be children watching you this morning and many parents as well. what would you say to everybody watching about if they have concerns or even if they do not have concerns? that is pa rt they do not have concerns? that is part of the problem?” they do not have concerns? that is part of the problem? i think it is really important for families to discuss their internet use quite

openly. it shouldn‘t just discuss their internet use quite openly. it shouldn‘tjust be talked about when there are problems. it is, what are you doing online? which apps are you using? what are you finding? how are you using those apps? and trying to encourage an open dialogue between parents and children, because it is hard to do, but if that isn‘t there, it may allow someone to find content and disappear into that digital rabbit hole and then it is very difficult for a parent you know how that youngster may be affected by what they are viewing online. and you say in the film that you believe molly would be proud of what you are doing. does that help you in the dark days when you continue to do this? molly was a lovely daughter. we all miss her very much, but the thing she perhaps best liked doing was helping others. yes, i think we all get comfort in knowing that even

though she is not with us any longer, she somehow is managing to find a way to help other youngsters remain safe and get the support and help that they need if they are having mental ill—health problems. we really appreciate your time. ian russell, thank you for your time here on breakfast this morning. i mentioned instagram. instagram told us: ‘we have made progress in the last eight months. we have removed graphic images of self—harm, though we don‘t find all of it. we are removing content related to suicide and self—harm proactively from explorer and other recommendation services.‘ they also said it would not be the last step that they take. if you are feeling emotionally distressed and would like details of organisations which offer advice and support, go online to bbc.co.uk/actionline or you can call for free, at any time, to hear recorded information 0800 066 066.

we played a little bit of that documentary. the full documentary which details ian‘s visit to the usa is available now on the bbc iplayer. you and i both mentioned this morning that it is very cold. there isa morning that it is very cold. there is a real chill in the air. it is about 1 degrees outside is a real chill in the air. it is about1 degrees outside our studio in salford. carroll, what is going on? you are absolutely right, it is a cold start to the day. many of us with temperatures around freezing, just above or just with temperatures around freezing, just above orjust below. frosty as well. some lovely views like this one of gower, sent in by one of our weather watchers. this is greater london, a lot of frost around. patches of fog which will lift through the morning. if you are travelling, bear that in mind. for the next few days it will be dry and sunny, cold by day and by night. high pressure is in charge of the weather. things fully settled. this array of weather fronts across the southwest. currently, they bring in

some rain across the isles of scilly which will extend into cornwall and devon. injersey, which will extend into cornwall and devon. in jersey, it which will extend into cornwall and devon. injersey, it gets into ordinary and guernsey through the day. ahead of that, some cloud. it will be bright. not particularly heavy rain, on and off through the day. when the mist and fog lifts through the rest of england, it will join much of scotland and northern ireland ina join much of scotland and northern ireland in a dry day. the showers predominantly across scotland, initially across the north west, some in the north and increasingly into the north—east as the winter via from a north—westerly to a north—easterly through the day. sevenin north—easterly through the day. seven in the north, 11 in the south. through the evening and overnight, those temperatures will follow quickly under clear skies. we hang onto those showers, and snow falling in the grampians. some cloud and rain coming in across the south—west. that is helping to maintain temperature levels. moving away from the south—west,

temperatures as low as —1 in some towns and cities. lower than that in the countryside. another frost and some patches of mist and fog. they left through the course of tomorrow, thenit left through the course of tomorrow, then it is spot the difference tomorrow. once again, dry weather, a crisp, autumnal spark of sunshine. showers across the north—east and rain coming in across the south—west. including the channel islands. 13 in the south. for much of tuesday we hang onto these weather fronts but they are usurped by this next lot coming in from the south—west. they effectively bump the high pressure onto the near continent. we start on a cold note with patches of mist and fog. some sunshine. through the day, as this set of fronts approaches, we see the rain arriving. the other significance is that the wind changes direction and it will be coming from a milder source. temperatures in the south and in the

west, 11-13d. temperatures in the south and in the west, 11—13d. sunny skies further east, and there it will feel on the nippy side. studio: thank you. we were just speaking to molly russell‘s dad, if you want to find that programme, it is on iplayer, it is called focus. and you can also find us on the iplayer. an increasing number of people... 24—hour is! and you can watch us live. if you are desperate to see ben talking about selfies, you can get your ipad and you are off! that is the most terrifying thing i have ever seen. was that taken this morning? no! normally you areafan taken this morning? no! normally you are a fan of selfies! you two are the king and queen of the selfie. we

are talking about it this morning for various reasons. the actress emma thompson was in a restaurant over the weekend and reports suggest asked herfor a selfie. she said no because she was with a group of her friends, politely declining. but the problem is, then that waiter was suspended from hisjob because problem is, then that waiter was suspended from his job because the restau ra nt suspended from his job because the restaurant basically said, don‘t do this. you will not see a picture like that, of me and emma thompson! she was probably having her lunch with her mates but it raises questions about the social etiquette that goes with selfies, when is it appropriate to ask ndu have to have permission? we spoke to a lawyer this morning. i was looking at the latest figures. we take 93 million selfies a day, and you are right, a lot of them are filtered and deleted. a new one is posted to instagram every second. it is big business but we spoke to a lawyer earlier about what is and isn‘t

a cce pta ble earlier about what is and isn‘t acceptable when it comes to selfies and he had some specific thoughts.” travel around with celebrities a lot, igo travel around with celebrities a lot, i go to dinner with them. frankly, if you are in that kind of private space, it is probably inappropriate. we almost have what we call a red—carpet rule. if they are ina we call a red—carpet rule. if they are in a public space, doing a job, then in those circumstances of course, have an ask and they will do a selfie with you but if they are on an aeroplane, for example, or out fordinner an aeroplane, for example, or out for dinner with family or friends, it can be very disruptive. it does feel like it is about the situation. you often have dinner with football friends and that sort of things michael cole thing, maybe it is worth waiting until the end of the meal or on the way out. if they are ona meal or on the way out. if they are on a red—carpet, in work mode, that could be ok to ask but if they are with friends or family, or their kids, if they are out in private.

and it is the fact that whoever asked for the picture was working at the time. it is a slightly weird crossover of whether it is professional, when you are working, to ask if you have a picture. it is complicated. there are certain places, especially in the big city, where they say no cameras at all in restau ra nts where they say no cameras at all in restaurants because they are worried about just that. and restaurants because they are worried aboutjust that. and it is a grey area, is it or isn‘t it allowed. it stops the whole thing of pretending to pose for a photo because there‘s someone over your to pose for a photo because there‘s someone over your shoulder! that is another thing, secret selfie!l total ban is probably better in a private setting. pick your moment if you are going to do it. think about if they are on their own or relaxing or having time off. have you ever had a super famous person or having time off. have you ever had a superfamous person being or having time off. have you ever had a super famous person being told you cannot look at them? i have. a

few years ago, someone you cannot look at them? i have. a few years ago, someone said don‘t look directly at him when he comes into the room. i was about to interview him, before he walked in, they said, don‘t look at him and i went, ok, where should i look? hello, lovely to meet you! i'm going to remember that now. don't look at her! where is she? thank you very much! i‘m still here. her! where is she? thank you very much! i'm still here. time now for the news, travel and weather wherever you are watching. keep watching and keep looking! hi there, good morning. it‘s been a rather chilly start to the day. you may have had to scrape some ice off the car windscreen. we‘ve got a weather system down

to the south—west of england for the next couple of days. that‘s going to bring a bit more cloud and some outbreaks of rain to the south—west. but for most of us it is this area of high pressure that will keep things settled and dry with lots of sunshine both through today and tomorrow. but it will feel pretty cold. certainly this morning we had quite a widespread frost. you‘ll notice that rain in the south—west of england, mainly around cornwall and the isles of scilly, a few showers coming into the north—east of scotland. but for most of us it is dry and also sunny. maximum temperatures today around 8—10, maybe 11 celsius, so quite a crisp feeling day. now, through this evening tonight we will continue with that rain in the south—west. still a few showers in the north—east. otherwise, though, there will be some clear skies going throughout tonight and that will allow once again for some frost to develop. temperatures getting down close to if not below freezing into tuesday. just seeing a bit more cloud across southern areas. that willjust keep the temperatures here above freezing. a bit of a cloudy start in south—west wales

and southern england. again, just that rain in the far south—west. still one or two showers in the north—east but fewer of those during tuesday. again, for most of us, it is dry, it is a cold, frosty start, but with lots of sunshine, temperatures getting up to about ten or 11 degrees. going from mid week onwards, things start to become a bit more unsettled. high pressure slowly drifts towards the east. this weather system will bring some cloud and some rain. mainly across west wales, south—west england, and eventually into northern ireland. elsewhere, it is looking mostly dry still on wednesday with again some sunshine, particularly across eastern areas, temperatures still getting up to about 9—12dc. but throughout thursday that rain will spread its way eastwards so turning much cloudier with some rain at times for many of us. bye— bye.

hello. this is worklife from bbc news, with sally bundock and tim wilcox. the clock is ticking, but will the eu agree to extend the brexit deadline. we weigh up the options. live from london, that‘s our top story on monday 28th october. a big brexit day both sides of the channel — uk mps vote later on the government‘s bid for a december 12th election, while eu ambassadors consider a brexit deadline extension. also in the programme.
