amazon, disney and the bbc. more choice, but at what cost? good morning from swindon village near aaron dole. we are getting into the holiday mood. the weather, cloudy with rain at times but for the rest of us, dry with a cold start and some sunny spells. —— arundel. more in 15 minutes. it's thursday 31st october. our top story. campaigning has begun for the next general election which will be held in six weeks on december 12. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, will launch his party's election campaign this morning, promising a transformation of britain. the conservatives will blame labour for the failure to leave the eu today as planned. but some mps who are standing down have warned about a growing bitterness in politics. nick eardley has more.

they are used to scenes like this. jeremy corbyn at a campaign rally last night. the first day of six weeks of campaigning to try and persuade you he is ready for power. today, he will promise to tackle what he calls a corrupt system, pledging to go after dodgers, dodgy landlords and bad bosses. as the election battle really gets going, though, things could have been quite different. today is supposed to be the day we left the european union, a key pledge from borisjohnson that he was unable to keep. the prime minister will blame that delay squarely on labour, accusing his rivals of dithering on brexit, hitting the campaign trail, he will promise to finally deliver if he wins the election then move domestic issues, things like schools, hospitals and crime. good morning, ms morgan. some well—known faces won't be fighting that battle, though. the culture secretary nicky morgan has become the latest

high—profile tory to say she is not standing, blaming, among other things, the abuse received by mps. shejoins a long list things, the abuse received by mps. she joins a long list of mps calling ita she joins a long list of mps calling it a day, meaning whoever wins the election, there will be a lot of new faces in hereby christmas. nick ea rd ley, faces in hereby christmas. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. let's get more now from our political correspondent iain watson, who joins us from westminster this morning. it's all under way with, i guess, a warning from some mps standing down about how toxic things have become. that's right. i expect this is going to bea that's right. i expect this is going to be a very, very bitter campaign. notjust in terms of the cold in december but between the parties, and some of their supporters because clearly, tensions are pretty high. this is the day we were due to leave the european union. don't forget the beginning of september, the prime minister said he would rather die in a ditch that extend a membership of the european union beyond halloween.

he is not dead in a ditch so we are ina he is not dead in a ditch so we are in a position where he got one thing he wanted which is an early general election but it's against the backdrop of having delivered brexit. what he's going to be doing today is very clearly saying, he wants to get brexit done, b, blame the opposition for any delay and see, emphasise this election is not simply going to be about brexit, he will call that the people ‘s priorities, visiting various public services so what jeremy corbyn is going to try to do to counter this is say that he is on the side of the people, against a vested interests, taking on as he calls it bad landlords, big polluters and he will be asking consistently this question, whose side are you wanting? it's all you need to know about whether this is going to be an election which is going to be an election which is going to be an election which is going to try and bring people together whether we are going to get a very clear dividing line, whose side one, and some mps have quite frankly had enough. mps such as

heidi allen and nicky morgan was leaving to spend more time with her family. she is also said she had various death threats, one that had been prosecuted in recent days. that is the backdrop we are looking into and the main parties in leading politicians are going to have to adopt a responsible tone but that is going to be a tough task. twitter is banning all political adverts — saying they pose a risk to democracy. some analysts suggest it's an attempt to pressure it's rival, facebook — which makes far more money from such adverts — into following suit. alexandra mckenzie reports. with an election expected six weeks today, the politicians are already heading for social media to get their message across to as many of us as possible. but from the end of november, the ceo of twitter, jack dorsey, has said all political

advertising will be banned. on twitter, he said that political message reach should be earned and not bought. why, he asked? the answer, he said — it can be used to influence votes and affect the lives of millions. some regard this move as a swipe at facebook, which recently ruled out a ban on political advertising. it's not going to impact twitter massively, as we've seen. the amount of money spent on adverts on twitter is tiny. but this is a symbolic gesture, because we're all now focusing on the influence and power of paid advertising on social media. facebook founder mark zuckerberg said he didn't think it was right for private companies to censor politicians or the news. mps, including the former home secretary, amber rudd, and labour's david lammy, have welcomed the ban,

but donald trump's re—election campaign team say it is yet another attempt by the left to silence the president. alexandra mackenzie, bbc news. the us military has released footage of its raid in northern syria, which it says was when the leader of the islamic state group was killed. the video, released by the pentagon, shows special forces approaching the compound where abu bakr al—baghdadi was hiding before he detonated a suicide vest. our washington correspondent chris buckler reports. in the first images released of the raid, you can see us special forces making their way where abu bakr al—baghdadi was hiding. as they flew into the area, the american troops were shot at by militants. we're not showing the next portion of this video, but in it, they strike back, killing many of those on the ground. baghdadi was the leader of the islamic state group, and the united states had been searching for him for years. in a graphic description of his last moments, president trump claimed

he was crying and whimpering. the pentagon could not confirm that, but they said he tried to escape through an underground tunnel. us soldiers gathered documents and electronic equipment at the compound before bombing it. it was completely levelled, to ensure it didn't become something like a shrine. this was a dangerous mission, and baghdadi was not alone in the building. two people were taken into custody here and five others were killed, including four women. the other people that were engaged on the objective were behaving in a threatening manner, with suicide vests, approaching the raid force and that causes you to make some decisions, particularly when they don't respond to arabic—language commands to stop, warning shots, and the progression of escalation that our special operators are so very good at. us military leaders say is as an organisation has been badly damaged by the raid, but they are concerned about the possibility of retaliatory attacks. baghdadi may be dead and his hideaway destroyed,

chris buckler, bbc news, washington. the governor of california has declared a state—wide emergency as strong winds continue to fan the flames of wildfires raging across much of the region. more than 18 million people are said to be living in areas affected or at risk, where thousands of firefighters are attempting to deal with the crisis. from los angeles, sophie long reports. the fires that forecasters beard broke out in several locations around southern california. as wild flies raged across ranchland, people fled from the flames and bewildered horses tried to make their own way to safety. in the simi valley, about 30 miles north of los angeles, more than 25,000 people were told to evacuate as flames quickly engulfed whole hillsides and the valley filled with thick, dark smoke. the fire, fuelled by winds gusting it up

to 70 miles per hour, surrounded the ronald reagan presidential library and threatened 7000 other buildings nearby. it's being called the easy fire but putting it out is proving to be anything but. we'rejust at the entrance of the ronald reagan presidential library and you can see how strongly the wind is blowing the claims in directions all around. they are fighting the fires here but it's the wind that is the greatest enemy. while this fire travelled in size to consume more than 1300 acres injust two hours, others size to consume more than 1300 acres in just two hours, others continued to burn in the celebrity studded hills of los angeles. there are pleas for the public to be vigilant as new fires are sparked every hour but optimism that the strongest sa nta a na but optimism that the strongest santa ana winds for more than a decade could sued —— could soon start to abate. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. chocolate and high fashion don't usually mix —

unless you count ‘cocoa' chanel. but these models took to the catwalk in paris wearing dresses made from chocolate. each outfit was based on the traditional dress of cocoa—producing nations including the ivory coast and peru. one outfit featured 2,000 chocolate pearls made from cocoa powder. you see, the problem they are, not that i'd want to be a model, obviously, but if i was, i'd have eaten some of that before i could get to the end of the catwalk. i'm not convinced that everything on those outfits is made of chocolate anyway. what do you think? you have to make sure. it looked like it was material with chocolate on it, not made of chocolate. it makes sense because it would melt. it would be a bit sticky. i don't think i'd want to chocolate outfit. you didn't come here to talk about chocolate fashion. i be quite happy to but i'm

afraid it's 48 hours to go until the rugby world cup final. i know you are a little bit excited, charlie. you know, it's been a while. and it's all extremely exciting. 16 yea rs, it's all extremely exciting. 16 years, in fact. it's all extremely exciting. 16 years, infact. is it's all extremely exciting. 16 years, in fact. is that your excited face? that's as excited as he gets. i'm channelling the england excitement vibe which is when you are extremely happy and exultant about some thing as in the immediate aftermath of the new zealand game, they don't jump and aftermath of the new zealand game, they don'tjump and shout, they just... the job is not done yet. they haven't finished the job yet. it's part of the joy, of the atmosphere. i will be intrigued to see how they would react if they beat south africa on saturday. that would be different, we will see charlie excited. any surprises with the team selection? not really. it's

i'io the team selection? not really. it's no surprise really they haven't made any changes which was such a remarkable performance. so england have kept the faith with the same starting 15 that was so impressive in that semi—final win over new zealand. that means george ford stays at fly—half with captain owen farrell at centre. and scrum half ben spencer is on course to make his first appearance of the world cup in the final, after flying out to japan to cover injury. there were some fabulous goals in the league cup last night — this over—head kick from liverpool's divock origi making it 5—5 against arsenal at anfield. liverpool went on to win 5—4 on penalties. and this stunning free kick from marcus rashford sent manchester united through to the quarterfinals, they were 2—1winners over chelsea. aston villa are also through — they beat wolves. and rangers kept pace with scottish premiership leaders celtic thanks to a 4—0 win at ross county. celtic also won, 2—0 at home to st mirren. so the old firm are level on points,

with celtic top on goal difference. the league cup, getting into the quarterfinals. it is not usually that much drama, let alone that many goals. ten goals before we got to penalties last night. what a match. we're going to have a look at today's papers. the huffington post is leading on what it calls the election exodus of mps standing down from politics — illustrated by a gallery of faces which won't be appearing on any election material in the coming weeks. the times uses the same language. its main headline describes an "exodus of moderate tory mps" from the party, with culture secretary nicky morgan joining the list of those who will not contest their seats at the election. many of them cite the impact of abuse on their decision. the telegraph reports that the brexit party is considering withdrawing hundreds of candidates to help secure a tory majority and it shows a picture of the commons speakerjohn bercow at his final prime

minister's questions. and the guardian focuses on labour's election pitch. it says jeremy corbyn will target wealthy tycoons like rupert murdoch and mike ashley while claiming that his party represents the needs of the general public. ben hasjoined us. are you clutching something? i will talk about apple briefly. biggest in the tech giant. it's a familiar story. normally, it is the iphone sales that pop up the results for the firm but increasingly, they know that we have the phone that we want, we are less likely to upgrade so they and a son moving into streaming services, into apps and that sort of thing which is where they are making most of their money and the timing of this is interesting, record sales last night, she has up as a result and

despite that setback but tomorrow, they launched a new tv streaming service and we are going to talk about that a little later. so they are selling less stuff? yes. but what they make money from is things like icloud storage to store all your photos. the apps, tv subscription services. these are recurring payments every month. rather than paying a lot of money once, that recurring income is quite useful because it keeps the money coming in on the streaming service is one of the ways they want to do that full stop the news is dominated by the rugby and the football but what has been interesting are these nice interviews carried out leading up nice interviews carried out leading up to the game focusing on the english captain. in that game against new zealand, the face he had. that made all the back pages la st had. that made all the back pages last week. owen farrell, that

confident smug look. but that is what you want from a captain. in this interview is talking about what happens the day before in the change i’ooitis happens the day before in the change rooms to that conversation with the captain. we would love to be there and hear what is said to 10% of it may be tactics but 90% of the conversation is emotion. he says what owen tends to do is ask how they are feeling, if anything has something to say, people will often get something off their chests, what they're thinking about, and then without fail you could hear a pin drop when the captain speaks. without fail you could hear a pin drop when the captain speakslj would drop when the captain speaks.” would say there are different ways, that thing about a motion to you can be raging at that point on the other thing is to become and a slight smile. itjust shows you are up for it. maybe that is the difference between an england fanned the mac

fan and an irish fan. some controversy in the rugby? take a look at this. this is an alternative. if you are not a fan of rugby, this is the time supplement trying to get you interested in rugby. i don't know if this would be acceptable if it were about a team of women. objectifying these athletes, sportsmen, committed to their work, obviously. is it not just pictures of them in training? it just just pictures of them in training? itjust happens that they're all happening in training? no. you don't train with a pink flamingo. that may be an aspirational thing to look at. by be an aspirational thing to look at. by way of contrast. so meet otzi. he

is 5300 years old. a mummified body found 10,000 feet up in the alps found 10,000 feet up in the alps found in 1991. and they have been studying him trying to work out where he came from. they have looked at fragments from his clothing, from his stomach and they know he is that old and he walked from south to roll in italy and ended up 10,000 feet up in the alps. they have been able to determine that from checking out pieces of him over the years. otzi. 19 minutes past six is the time. and that link into halloween, really with ghoulish figures but they would not be complete without a pumpkin. a p pa re ntly not be complete without a pumpkin. apparently they do not have to be

spooky. carol's at a farm with a novel way of displaying them this morning. iam i am that's lyndon village near aaron bell and they have many pumpkins here. i want to show you two special ones. it took the artist two special ones. it took the artist two hours to do both, but they look even better in the dark. so we filmed them earlierjust to show you. the breakfast team to look better in the dark, don't they? carol! did you just say we look better in the dark! i did! that will better in the dark! i did! that will bea better in the dark! i did! that will be a phone call after the programme, won't it? good morning, everyone. not a bad start to the day across some parts of the country. it is cold and temperatures last night drop to 5.8 —— —5.8. so there is a

widespread frost across northern scotla nd widespread frost across northern scotland and apache frost over southern scotland and northern england. but the forecast result todayis england. but the forecast result today is one that is mostly dry and there will be some sunshine. as always, there is a caveat because on the pressure chart you can see we have a weather front that is across southern areas producing a lot of cloud and some rain. some of the wind has been heavy. we will try —— turn lighter and more patchy through the day. the driest and brightest conditions will be across central eastern and northern areas did not see scotland could well see the odd shower and this morning it is also quite breezy across southern areas. but the wind will ease as we go through the day to temperatures range from nine in the north to 14 down in the south. through the evening and overnight once again the weather front continues to push northwards and eastwards are taking rain with it did itself you are out trick and treating, central and

eastern districts will be the driest, cloud and rain through the west. that will move across most of the uk by the end of the night. behind it, something dry follows. it will not be as cold a night as the onejust gone. so will not be as cold a night as the one just gone. so as we get into tomorrow, tomorrow is messy whichever way you look at it. dig it will be cloudy and murky and wet. the first band of rain pushes to the east and then another comes in hot on its hills. in between it is a suckers gap so on its hills. in between it is a suckers gap so we on its hills. in between it is a suckers gap so we could see some brightness and if you do see some brightness, while we are looking at highs potentially reaching 17 degrees for some but across the board it will be milder as the wind will come in from the south—west as opposed to the easterly we have had of late. saturday we have low pressure coming oui’ way. of late. saturday we have low pressure coming our way. there is still a lot of play for this because confidence in its possession is not extremely high at the moment. so expect some rain and some will be heavy and some gales, even severe gales across parts of the south—west

and very windy across the south as well. but also across the north—east. the position of that could well change and if it does it will have a bearing over the ra i nfa lls will have a bearing over the ra i nfalls of will have a bearing over the rainfalls of where the strongest wind is so keep in touch with the weather forecast if you have any outdoor plans on saturday. i am going to make a run for it before i get that phone call from you. going to make a run for it before i get that phone call from youm going to make a run for it before i get that phone call from you. it is coming, trust me. there is a nice article in the mirror today. and allotment older —— holder has grown allotment older —— holder has grown a pumpkin that is £84s. how much do those ones in front of you way?” think they are wonderful. i think charlie looks wonderful. oh, sorry, no. that one is nasga!

tomorrow marks one year since doctors in the uk were allowed to start prescribing medicinal cannabis to help with certain health conditions. it followed high—profile campaigns from families of children with severe epilepsy. still, some say that tight regulations are leaving many unable to access the drugs they need. john maguire reports. you are watching charlie hughes have a repeated infantile seizures caused by epilepsy and potentially very dangerous. this was filmed in february. and this is charlie today. after being treated with medical cannabis for five months this seizures has dropped from more than 120 each day to fewer than ten. rain surgery was 120 each day to fewer than ten. rain surgery was ruled out so the last ditch attempt was cannabis to try and stop him having a terrible life with constant seizures. with the

seizures he is also at risk of unexpected death from epilepsy. so that plays on the back of your mind as well. to then find this medicine, it has changed this life and ours, the whole family. it has meant the world to us. you could call it a miracle. charlie has a private prescription. it cost this family more than £1300 a month. their muggy will run out injanuary. more than £1300 a month. their muggy will run out in january. and then he is back to 100 plus seizures.” would like borisjohnson to now intervene. one mother has to sell her house because she can't pay for her house because she can't pay for her child's medication. it is awful. 2019 in the uk. one year on from the uk government saying the drug could be prescribed free in specific circumstances, doctors are still refusing to do so, citing a lack of

evidence. the national institute for hills and care excellence is due to publish recommendations later this month and it says it will provide more clarity around where these medicines can be considered as options for patients as well as identifying where further evidence of the potential benefit is needed. but professor barnes from the clinician society says the evidence already exist. there is a huge amount of evidence that says that cannabis can be useful. and, more particularly it is safe. i think we should prescribe and learn as we go along and not say no we will not prescribe and wait until we have more and more evidence to let's start and learn. 12 months after the law change, the department of hills in england a clear need for more evidence to support prescribing and funding decisions and we are working ha rd funding decisions and we are working hard with the hills system, industry and researchers to improve the knowledge base available. but while

that could take several years, charlie's parents are anxious that this condition may damage the development of this young rain. time, they say, is one thing they do not have. and later in the programme, we'll be speaking to the mother of one boy who campaigned for the changes to the law. coming up on breakfast this morning. the real life crash—landing that made actors eddie redmayne and felicity jones wonder whether their time was up. we went careering into tree tops, crashed to the ground and there was a massive noise and cracked. the pair were filming their new movie the aeronauts in a hot air balloon when it crashed into a forest. here the whole story a little later

on. with a genuinely scared? you interviewed them. it make sense when you hear the whole story. hot air ballooning is one of those things where you are at the mercy of nature. it unfolded in a way they we re nature. it unfolded in a way they were not expecting. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. the mother of a boy who died from a fatal reaction after cheese was flicked at him says she wants to meet the education secretary to ensure lessons are learned. 13—year—old karanbir cheema died after having a severe reaction at his school in west london in 2017. his mother now wants more to be done to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. they need to teach children about allergies. allergies are on the rise more than ever. they teach everything else, they need to teach other children to recognise the

signs and if other children can help, help. the department of education said children with medical conditions should be properly supported to be safe at school. and karan‘s school said they were deeply sorry they could not save him, and that schools need expert help in delivering education around anaphlaxis. the poppy appeal is aiming to raise a million pounds in london alone today. it is the largest street cash collection of its kind in europe. in europe and will europe. see 2,000 members of the armed forces, vetera ns, volu nteers, and celebrities selling poppies for the royal british legion. listen out for stephen fry's announcements across tfl. this week sees the world famous london jazz bar — ronnie scotts — celebrate its 60th birthday. the club opened back in 1959 and has survived the changing face of soho, playing host to the likes of ella fitzgerald, dizzy gillespie, van morrison and even lady gaga. let's take a look at the travel situation now. good news if you are on the tube this morning with all lines having a

good service. that following an incident at the station. on the roads and traffic on the a 13 is building westbound heading from dagenham barking. muswell hill road is closed following an earlier collision. have a look now at the weather. good morning. there is some cloud around this morning. fairly high so we will get some bright spells, some hazy sunny spells and still have the rather brisk westerly wind to contend with as well so it will still feel chilly. further west and south you may get cloud and risk ofa and south you may get cloud and risk of a little bit of light patchy rain and drizzle sitting elsewhere the cloud breaks out and we will sunny spells potentially this afternoon. temperatures thanks to that breeze

between nine and 12 celsius so feeling quite chilly. it is hallowing today. early evening it looks like it will stay dry and the cloud will gradually increase through the evening and later on in the night into the early hours this band of heavy and persistent rain arrives and the wind starts to strengthen as well to the minimum temperature is between eight and nine celsius, marking the change to our weather. we lose the high—pressure and we go in at low pressure. wet and windy through friday but look at the temperatures, much milder, 17 celsius and it stays rather unsettled all the way through the weekend. i will be back with the latest in 30 minutes. see you soon. hello — this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning, despite having high hopes since successfully campaigning for the law to be changed on medicinal cannabis, we'll speak to mum who says some

drugs still aren't being prescribed to patients. we have the latest from japan as the teams are announced ahead of england's first world cup final in 12 years against south africa. and paralympian and strictly star, will bayley has confirmed a knee injury has forced him to quit the show — one of his fellow contestants, kelvin fletcher, will be here to tell us more, and talk about his own preparations for saturday. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. campaigning has begun for the next general election which will be held in six weeks on december 12th. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, will launch his party's election campaign today — promising a transformation of britain. the conservatives will blame labour for the failure to leave the eu today as planned. however over 50 mps have announced they'll be standing down,

with many warning about the increasingly toxic atmosphere in politics. the social media twitter has announced plans to ban all political advertising from it's website from next month.the company's ceo said he wanted to prevent potential problems with fake news and unchecked information. facebook‘s founder mark zuckerberg has rejected calls to follow suit — saying it wasn't right for private companies to "censor politicians or the news" the us military has published the first footage of the raid in northern syria in which it says the leader of the islamic state group was killed. this grainy video released by the pentagon shows special forces approaching the compound where abu bakr al—baghdadi was hiding. he later detonated a suicide vest ending a year—long manhunt. more than 18 million people are affected or at risk from a wildfire which is raging across california. the governor of california has declared a state—wide emergency as strong winds continue

to fan the flames. thousands of firefighters are attempting to deal with the crisis. widespread power cuts remain in place in an effort to prevent further outbreaks. a fire has ripped through shuri castle, a world heritage site on the southern japanese island of okinawa. the main building, as well as the north and south structures of the castle, have burned to the ground according to local media. the 600—year—old castle itself was largely destroyed during the second world war, but it was extensively restored and reopened as a national park. probably england's best performance of the entire world cup. a lot of

england fans were hoping for a repeat performance. it's edging ever closer. our sports editor is there for us. our sports editor dan roan‘s been at the england news conference in tokyo overnight, and dan — eddiejones is keeping the faith? it's no surprise. i know that he has a bit ofa it's no surprise. i know that he has a bit of a reputation for swapping his teams, depending on who they are playing. it wasn't just his teams, depending on who they are playing. it wasn'tjust one of the best performances. arguably one of the best performances in english by the best performances in english rugby history, that remarkable win. as predicted, he does keep the same thing. owen farrell, will be in the centre. ben spencer has been drafted in this week. he is flown out here.

the substitute willie hines was injured. the captain himself, have all injured. the captain himself, have a ll cleared injured. the captain himself, have all cleared up. at full strength, full of confidence and of course, sporting immortality beckons if they can do the business. here is what eddiejones said a couple of hours ago. that's why the players can be relaxed, that's why i can be relaxed because i know we've done the work. we know south africa is going to come hard. they got a history of being the most physically intimidating team in the world so we are going to take that away from them and the boys know what is ahead of them. everyone knows what is it state. world-class, very dangerous

winger, missing the semi—final against wales. he's been named in the starting 15. the only change to the starting 15. the only change to the squad. all the predictions are, this could be a very tight encounter despite the way england played but if they can do it, they will emulate the team for 2003. jonny wilkinson, martinjohnson the team for 2003. jonny wilkinson, martin johnson and the the team for 2003. jonny wilkinson, martinjohnson and the rest. very few english rugby teams have gone to this territory. there were, frankly, some ridiculous goals in the league cup last night — not least in a 10 goal thriller liverpool were 4—2 down to arsenal

when alex oxlade—chamberlain took aim from outside the box. arsenal then resored their two goal lead whenjoe willock came up with a thunderbolt of his own. but liverpool weren't done, they got it back to 5—4 before divock origi's overhead kick in the fourth minute of injury time took the game to penalties which liverpool win 5—4. so liverpool are into the quarter finals butjurgen klopp says they might forfeit the compeittion because of a fixture pile up in december. that quarter final is due to be played the same week that liverpool play the club world cup in qatar. klopp says the fixture needs to change, or they won't play the next round.

let's get back to the goals...two more stunners at stamford bridge. this is chelsea's michy batshuayi powering his way to an equaliser after manchester united had taken the lead through a penalty. lots of people on social media saying that goal was reminscant of didier drogba in his prime. it wasn't the best goal of the night though, that was scored by marcus rashford. this brilliant free kick enough to give united a 2—1win. elsewhere aston villa beat wolves. in the scottish premiership, rangers kept pace with leaders celtic thanks to a 4—0 win at ross county. celtic also won against st mirren, which means that the old firm are now level on points with celtic top on goal difference. it looks like it's going to be a very exciting title race in scotland this year. disappointment for manchester city in the women's champions league. they've been knocked out of the competition by athletico madrid for a second season running.

city lost 2—1 on the night, 3—2 on aggregate — their third straight defeat in all competitons. scotland have qualified for next year's t20 world cup in australia. they did it by beating the uae by 90 runs in their play—off in dubai — thier seccond biggest win in the 20 over format. and before i go, forget the 10 goals and penalties, there was a lovely moment in the tunnel at anfield last night. this is the arsenal captain hector bellerin having a chat with a mascot who was a bit chilly. so bellerin took off his pre—match jacket and handed it over to keep the lad warm. it fits in. i would like to see the person who would come along. lovely.

around 3,000 firefighters are tackling a wildfire in california as strong winds continue to fan the flames. it's thought around 18 million people could be affected, or at risk. mitch matlow, from the sanjose fire departmentjoins us now from kincade. mitch, thank you very much for talking to us this morning. can you tell me what you are seeing, what your crews are dealing with. there are hundreds of firefighters covering about 75 acres of land. which is roughly 311 square kilometres or about one fifth the size of london. the windstorms have died down, no longer under a red flag warning and we have made

significant progress. to about 45%. only 5700 people remain out of their homes were evacuated. a lot going on. 5200 personal crew working. thank you for correcting that figure for us. you mentioned the winds are dying down. in order for there to be frost, there needs to be two things. it slows the burning. it does however chill things off which can slow the burning but also makes it more difficult for the crews to work them, especially when the water is freezing as it comes out of their hoses. how other crews coping? we often hear about wildfires in the

region but this is on a scale, i wouldn't say unprecedented but it's a massive scale, obviously. it is a very large fire, there's no doubt about that. the crews are maintaining good morale. especially in the last 48 hours. we are able to ove rco m e in the last 48 hours. we are able to overcome the windstorms we have. pushing the fires and keeping the fire in the box that we put it in, even with those wins. temperatures have died down and humidity is planning to, very slowly. morale is very good. almost festive in that we we re very good. almost festive in that we were able to return over 100,000 people back to their homes today. how have people been reacting in terms of when they are given these evacuation notices? how well are they responding to the danger? the vast majority of these people in this area, because they seem tragic fires in the recent past, have been

very cooperative. and have heeded the warnings and come out. mitch matt lowe, captain of the sanjose fire department, thank you for talking to us. i wish you all the best in tackling these fires. thank you. carol is on the farm price this morning. look at this merrill. we're here talk about halloween. and let's talk to the artist responsible for this magnificent display. how long did it ta ke magnificent display. how long did it take you to put that together? magnificent display. how long did it take you to put that together7m took me eight days. what is your inspiration? it is a c theme. this year we are trying to highlight theircampaign of

year we are trying to highlight their campaign of plastic in the ocean. so we are raising money for the conservation society with our underwater theme. and what sort of vegeta bles underwater theme. and what sort of vegetables are there?” underwater theme. and what sort of vegetables are there? i can see pumpkins but different varieties. there are pumpkin, squashes in the display, probably about 30 or 40 different varieties. i have never seen different varieties. i have never seen the grey one to what is that? that is a crown prince. it is very good for a soup and they last a good eight months on the shelf. so talking of such things, how long will this display be up? untilthe end of november when we will take it down and the fruit which remains will keep for eating and the rest will keep for eating and the rest will go to compost or to local pigs. we will talk to you later in the programme but for now thank you very much. we are surrounded by pumpkin here and some enormous marrow as well. mark has carved some pumpkin for us and you know what? it only

took him one hour to do each and thatis took him one hour to do each and that is rather special to hear this morning it is damp and cloudy but the forecast for us all today is a largely dry one with sunshine. of course we do have the cloud and the weather front in the south and that is what has produced the rain overnight in the rain this morning as well. it will turn lighter and more patchy as we go through the day. it is also windy across southern counties but that wind will continue to ease through the course of the day. much of cloud today across northern ireland, wales, south—west england heading over southern counties but drifting through central and district. temperatures in scotland fell to —5.8 but clear skies for you from the word go. for southern scotla nd from the word go. for southern scotland and northern england, patchy but the skies again with temperatures rising to obtain about

eight in the north and 14 in the south. as we had through the evening and overnight while our band of cloud and patchy rain will continue to push northwards and eastwards, if you are going out trick in treating this evening in the central and eastern areas it will be dry but there will be cloud and rain coming in through the west and that will cross most of the uk by the end of the night. not as cold a night as the night. not as cold a night as the one just wanted especially not in plymouth where the overnight low is 15 degrees. but that is how we start the day tomorrow. friday, quite messy. it will be murky with some hill fog around as well. some damp conditions. our first some hill fog around as well. some damp conditions. ourfirst band of rain was eastwards and clears. in the next band of rain comes into dig if there is any brightness in between these two fronts could be something like 17 degrees in london. for all of us tomorrow it will be milder. on saturday there is still not a lot of confidence at this stage in the exact timing and placement of where this area of low pressure will be. it is a deep

pressure will be. it is a deep pressure of lobe —— area of low pressure of lobe —— area of low pressure coming our way. we will see quite a bit of rain but severe gales are possible across the south—west of england with scales across the south gales across parts of eastern scotland. that low pressure moves north south, east for that matter, and it will have an impact on where the strongest rain and the heaviest rain will be. so if you are going to have a bonfire party or have any plans on saturday, do stay tuned to the weather forecast. if the weather will be nice if we have one. unlike you so far this morning. oh, you know i love you. see you, carol. let's come back down to earth. then, tell us about what we can watch on tv.

if you already think there's too much choice on tv — another tv streaming service launches tomorrow. there was a time when we just had our live tv channels. then came video and dvd box sets. now we have a plethora of subscription streaming services. from tomorrow, they're joined by the latest offering from apple. but it is a crowded market. around half of all households now subscribe to at least one tv streaming service — that's according to the regulator ofcom. the biggest player is netflix. it began as an online dvd rental store. it's now got more than 150 million subscribers around the world. but it's had to spend a lot to win those subscribers. it spent $12 billion on new content last year and is expected to spend even more this year. it successes include royal drama the crown and sci—fi series stranger things. but there's also amazon prime — that costs around the same per month — but you also get things like free delivery from its shopping website. but there are other new players too. later this year, britbox will launch — that's a joint venture

between the uk's biggest broadcasters including the bbc. and there's disney+ — after buying up other firms, its service will offer tv series from abc, as well as star wars, fox, marvel and disney films and sport from espn. so a lot of interest around the appletv+ launch on friday. this may be the golden age of television but with that comes a price and after a while, once you introduce the likes of netflix, amazon, apple, disney, youtube, disney live, youtube, you step them up disney live, youtube, you step them up and we have more on the way with the british centric streaming service on its way they will cost and sooner or later families will need to decide are the ones they cannot live without it who will make that decision on who will tell a teenager they cannot have one or the other? i don't want to be involved in that argument. arguments over the tv, nothing new there. apple mac is

launching with a drama about brea kfast launching with a drama about breakfast television cold the morning show and starring jennifer aniston and reese witherspoon. but i can't see whether drama can be found in morning television alert. let me just explain to you why i have my own pictures of myself on my own living room. we are going to speak tojennifer and living room. we are going to speak to jennifer and reese tomorrow. living room. we are going to speak tojennifer and reese tomorrow. yes. about their big new show. so maybe we you can give them some tips about how to do it? they have already filmed at. they will give us there to all of these choices and services but as we mentioned, they will cost anything from six quid a month to ten or 12 a month so clearly there isa ten or 12 a month so clearly there is a lot at stake and they will want to wind in the market. thank you very much, ben. that is hollywood a list there

jennifer and reese. this interview now, it is like a british version of a list brits. it's been five years since actors eddie redmayne and felicityjones first teamed up for the oscar winning film, ‘the theory of everything', but now they're back together for a second time. ‘aeronauts' follows the true story of an attempt to break the record for flying a hot air balloon higher than anyone else in history, which, i found out is ifound out is not i found out is not actually a hot air balloon, it isjust a balloon. the differences explained. it was dramatic and dangerous to make. as you came in, i don't know you noticed that this was room 101. we have to put things in there we don't like! we are going down! james galatia. i am a meteorologist to i believe the weather can be

predicted. i need you and your balloon to help me. felicity plays an error zero, she balloon to help me. felicity plays an error zero, she is the pilot and i was an error zero, she is the pilot and iwasa an error zero, she is the pilot and i was a scientist at a time in which you could not predict the weather but believe that by going up in the air balloons and discovering stuff about the sky that you could, even though everyone was saying it was not possible. and your character is the one in charge of getting the thing up and getting it down. the film was very much the top hits of ballooning so my character is based ona ballooning so my character is based on a woman called sophie blanchard who was an error on a woman called sophie blanchard who was an error zero on a woman called sophie blanchard who was an error zero in the 18th century one of the first to fly solo. if you won't listen to me, listen to that! people always love to hear a story about things that go wrong during filming. so, a balloon.

you have two big movie stars in a balloon and filming. did things go wrong? we were shooting over oxford and it was quite beautiful. we were shooting for maybe one hour and then the drones and helicopters went and we had to land. and it gets worse. we pulled on the cord and gently start dropping and we are just about, we are coming down to quickly so about, we are coming down to quickly so the pilot says to us through the ballast out. so felicity and i go from complete calm to total anxiety. so you are throwing out sandbags and everything? everything. probably quite dangerous for people below there. and then suddenly we missed there. and then suddenly we missed the trees and we rise again, miss the trees and we rise again, miss the trees and rise again and then we sort see the face of the poor pilot

who had gone completely pale and was looking at us and we said you told us looking at us and we said you told us to throw out the ballast. but he said you have thrown out all the bags. so the next time we were about to land when we need to avoid a forest, which did happen, we had no way of avoiding it so we went careering into treetops, crushed to the ground and there was a massive noise and crunch and felicity‘s had flicked back and smacked against a chest in the basket. that lovely metal corner on the edge. is there a crash position to adopt in a balloon? it was not even like a contemporary balloon where you are partitioned into little areas to so it is safer to there was total silence and i heard felicity say i don't think i can move my

neck. fortunately, despite those dramas everything was ok. that particular crash because their director, because they were directed at me connected by the director, he thought he was going to lose his major actors on the first day of filming. can you imagine the health and safety forms to fill out after that! so it is not a hot air balloon? that is right. it is the other kind. i knew you were going to ask and the original balloons, as they were known, were not hot air balloons. they worked by other means. i didn't know the answer. hydrogen! that is it. all those things. t things. the film is out on the weekend, now

time to find out what is happening where you are. good morning from bbc london. the mother of a boy who died from a fatal reaction after cheese was flicked at him says she wants to meet the education secretary to ensure lessons are learned. 13—year—old karanbir cheema died after having a severe reaction at his school in west london in 2017. his mother now wants more to be done to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. they need to teach children about allergies. allergies are on the rise more than ever. they teach everything else, they need to teach other children to recognise the signs and if other children can help, help. the department of education said children with medical conditions should be properly supported to be safe at school. and karan's school said they were deeply sorry they could not save him, and that schools need expert help in delivering education around anaphylaxis. the poppy appeal is aiming to raise a million pounds in london alone today. it's the largest street cash

broadway and church crescent for police investigations following a collision earlier near st james church. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there is some cloud around this morning. fairly high so we will get some bright spells, some hazy sunny spells and still have the rather brisk westerly wind to contend with as well so it will still feel chilly. further west and south you may get cloud and risk of a little bit bit of light patchy rain and drizzle sitting elsewhere the cloud breaks out and we will see sunny spells potentially this afternoon. temperatures thanks to that breeze between nine and 12 celsius so feeling quite chilly. it is halloween today. early evening it looks like it will stay dry and the cloud will gradually increase through the evening and later on in the night into the early hours. this band of heavy and persistent rain arrives and the wind starts to strengthen as well.

the minimum temperature is between eight and nine celsius, marking the change to our weather. we lose the high—pressure and we go in at low pressure. wet and windy through friday but look at the temperatures, much milder, 17 celsius and it stays rather unsettled all the way through the weekend. 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 charlie and naga. bye for now. get you good morning — welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: party leaders hit the campaign trail — as mps warn of a toxic atmosphere in politics. culture secretary nicky morgan is the latest to say she won't be running — blaming, among other things, the abuse received by mps. the us military releases the first footage of the raid in syria in which the leader of the islamic state group was killed. england keep the faith for the rugby world cup final. they name an unchanged side to face south africa on saturday, as they try to win their first

title in 16 years. the battle for subscribers. apple enters the tv streaming business — taking on rivals netflix, amazon, disney and the bbc. more choice — but at what cost? good morning from near arundel, we're here to celebrate halloween and these lovely pumpkins. the weather, driver central and eastern areas but cloudy and wet for the rest of the uk. more details in 15 minutes. it's thursday 31st october. our top story. campaigning has begun for the next general election which will be held in six weeks on december 12th. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, will launch his party's election campaign this morning — promising a transformation of britain. the conservatives will blame labour for the failure to leave the eu today as planned. meanwhile, some mps who are standing down have warned about the toxic atmosphere in politics. nick eardley has more. chanting

get used to scenes like this — jeremy corbyn at a campaign rally last night. the first day of six weeks of campaigning to try and persuade you he is ready for power. today, he'll promise to tackle what he calls a corrupt system, pledging to go after tax dodgers, dodgy landlords and bad bosses. as the election battle really gets going, though, things could have been quite different. today is supposed to be the day we left the european union, a key pledge from borisjohnson that he was unable to keep. the prime minister will blame that delay squarely on labour, accusing his rivals of dithering on brexit. hitting the campaign trail, he will promise to finally deliver if he wins the election then move to domestic issues, things like schools, hospitals and crime. good morning, ms morgan! some well—known faces won't be fighting that battle, though.

the culture secretary, nicky morgan, has become the latest high—profile tory to say she is not standing, blaming, among other things, the abuse received by mps. shejoins a long list of mps calling it a day, meaning whoever wins the election, there will be a lot of new faces in here by christmas. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. let's get more now from our political correspondent iain watson, who joins us from westminster this morning. we have the official labour campaign launching this morning and as that happens, i suppose it's a warning or thought about the atmosphere around politics, just as prospective mps will be knocking on doors and talking to people. that's right. i think it's going to be very difficult for this not to be a bitterly fought campaign. boris johnson back in september said he'd rather die in a ditch than have a brexit extension. he is neither dead nor in the ditch, but on the campaign trail, saying he will stand

up campaign trail, saying he will stand upfor campaign trail, saying he will stand up for the people ‘s priorities. countering that, jeremy corbyn on the other side. he says he is on the side of the people against the elites, whole rogues gallery of people, bad landlords, bad bosses, big polluters. he is saying very clearly here in london later in a speech, whose side are you on? you will repeat that message. when you hear that kind of message, you know dividing lines, it's not going to be one of the people are going to looking for consensus. that kind of general atmosphere and atmosphere ratcheted up by the over in uzi as in some supporters of the political parties is leading to the kind of toxic backdrop that has been too much for some mps. heidi allen, for example, isn't standing down, sorry, is standing down for that reason. you mentioned nicky morgan, who

talked in her resignation letter about the abuse she received. being an mp in modern days. and of course, anna soubry, the independent mp, has had a number of death threats and somebody was prosecuted for them recently. the party leaders are going to have to concentrate very much on how they can attack each other, without ratcheting up and atmosphere of intimidation for each other‘s supporters. atmosphere of intimidation for each other's supporters. that is one of the things will be talking about. it's coming up a bit later on this morning. the social media platform, twitter has announced plans to ban all political advertising from it's website from next month. the company's ceo said he wanted to prevent potential problems with fake news and unchecked information. facebook‘s founder mark zuckerberg has rejected calls to follow suit — saying it wasn't right for private companies to "censor politicians or the news".

the us military has released footage of its raid in northern syria, which it says was when the leader of the islamic state group was killed. the video, released by the pentagon, shows special forces approaching the compound where abu bakr al—baghdadi was hiding before he detonated a suicide vest. our washington correspondent chris buckler reports. in the first images released of the raid, you can see us special forces making their way into the building where abu bakr al—baghdadi was hiding. as they flew into the area, the american troops were shot at by militants. we're not showing the next portion of this video, but in it, they strike back, killing many of those on the ground. baghdadi was the leader of the islamic state group, and the united states had been searching for him for years. in a graphic description of his last moments, president trump claimed he was crying and whimpering. the pentagon could not confirm that, but they said he tried to escape

through an underground tunnel. us soldiers gathered documents and electronic equipment at the compound before bombing it. it was completely levelled, to ensure it didn't become something like a shrine. this was a dangerous mission, and baghdadi was not alone in the building. two people were taken into custody here and five others were killed, including four women. the other people that were engaged on the objective were behaving in a threatening manner, with suicide vests, approaching the raid force and that causes you to make some decisions, particularly when they don't respond to arabic—language commands to stop, warning shots, and the progression of escalation that our special operators are so very good at. us military leaders say is as an organisation has been badly damaged by the raid, but they are concerned about the possibility of retaliatory attacks. baghdadi may be dead and his hideaway destroyed, but the ideology of hate he helped inspire remains a threat. chris buckler, bbc news, washington.

more than 18 million people are affected or at risk from a wildfire which is raging across california. the governor of california has declared a state—wide emergency as strong winds continue to fan the flames. thousands of firefighters are attempting to deal with the crisis. from los angeles, sophie long reports. the fires that forecasters feared broke out in several locations around southern california. as wildflies raged across ranchland, people fled from the flames and bewildered horses tried to make their own way to safety. in the simi valley, about 30 miles north of los angeles, more than 25,000 people were told to evacuate as flames quickly engulfed whole hillsides and the valley filled with thick, dark smoke. the fire, fuelled by winds gusting up to 70mph, surrounded the ronald reagan presidential library and threatened 7,000 other buildings nearby.

it's being called the easy fire, but putting it out is proving to be anything but. we're just at the entrance of the ronald reagan presidential library and you can see how strongly the wind is blowing the flames in directions all around. they are fighting the fires here but it's the wind that is the greatest enemy. while this fire travelled in size to consume more than 1,300 acres injust two hours, others continued to burn in the celebrity—studded hills of los angeles. there are pleas for the public to be vigilant as new fires are sparked every hour, but optimism that the strongest santa ana winds for more than a decade could soon start to abate. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. england will try and win the rugby world cup with the same side that defeated the defending champions new zealand in the semi final. head coach eddiejones named an unchanged line up for saturday's showpiece against south africa and says his team will

play with no fear. in terms of excitement, where are you? that lovely calm place in the immediate run—up to an extraordinary location. carol will have the weather for a short and holly will have more with the sport a little later. there is another big date, december 12. as campaigning kicks—off today in the lead up to the first december election since 1923, more than 50 mps from across the political parties won't be out canvasing to defend their seats after deciding to step down from parliament. among them are 25 conservative mps including the culture secretary nicky morgan who said that the abuse she's received while in office had contributed to her departure. in a letter yesterday she said "the clear impact on my family and the other sacrifices involved

in, and the abuse for, doing thejob of a modern mp can only be justified if, ultimately, parliament does what it is supposed to do — represent those we serve". former cabinet minister david liddington is another conservative mp due to step down. hejoins us now. thank you very much for talking to us thank you very much for talking to us this morning. this is going to be quite a nice interview. we're not going to talk much about politics but hopefully we can talk about what mps are experiencing. how surprising it is when you see a little like this from nicky morgan for example talking about the toxicity surrounding politics in parliament at the moment. i wasn't expecting nicky morgan to announce she was standing down. sadly, i wasn't shocked to hear about the levels of abuse she's been getting. it's something that all mp5, all political parties have had to put up

with, this bitterness, sourness that is crept into the way we handle political debate in this country which i think is damaging, it puts good younger people coming up to any of the political parties and women into secular, irrespective of party, seem into secular, irrespective of party, seem to be often particular targets. it really came through when i was leader of the house of commons, in the aftermath of the murder ofjo cox, and a number of women mps of all parties started to open up about on line trolling, stalkers, anonymous phone calls, text messages, on line posts saying, we know where your children live. absolutely ghastly stuff and in the light of that, it's tougher to encourage good people into politics and tougher to keep people particularly when there on the risk is, that starts to make parliament asa is, that starts to make parliament as a whole less representative because you only get in the people who are absolute political fanatics and were not deterred by that. you

wa nt and were not deterred by that. you want a good mix of people in parliament. therefore all the right reasons, whatever their politics, i do worry a great deal about this sort of bitter, sometimes very aggressive threat in discourse on the nature of our politics. you yourself are one of the mps announcing you will not stand at the next election and i will quote something you said. politics imposes a heavy cost on family and private life. tell me about that. it does, because even when it does, it becomes all consuming. it's notjust ajob, it is becomes all consuming. it's notjust a job, it is a vocation. because you believe in the policies of your party and you believe, argue for those, you are in westminster during the week. you go back at the

weekend. then, if you're a minister, you get all the double up because you get all the double up because you have the government work, the famous red boxes to work through in evenings and on weekends. you do miss out on a lot of these normal social things, school plays, sports days, parents evenings, just time off when you go with your husband and partner, the chief whip turns around and says, no, there is an important vote and i need you to be in the house of commons. i've had more than a quarter of a century there and we don't complain, we are all volunteers. we know what we are going into but one reason for me was i want to be able to do more things that i enjoy my life and that includes spending time with my family as well as other interests that i have. while they are all fit enough and energetic enough to do

that. you were effectively theresa may's right—hand man when she was in office, and she was prime minister and anna soubry was on newsnight last night commenting that she felt theresa may didn't offer enough support for employees who were receiving abuse. whose responsibility is it to stop the rot now? i disagree with that, it's not my experience but in terms of responsibility, i don't believe there is a magic wand in this but i think there is a big responsibility first on both political leaders and on editors, broadcast and print media, to try and stop using language that can then be taken up is quite inflammatory and repeated by patrols, the so—called green ink letterwriters who are out there communicating on line. all the stuff about traitors and enemies of the

people and all this stuff, i think this make matters worse. you can still respect your opponent and their integrity and motives and most people i know in politics, everybody underwent elected politics, at the local and national level, acts on that basis. in house of commons, you see mps who have been knocking spots of each other in debate, getting on perfectly well in a civilised fashion. i do think social media has brought great and efforts but made this particular problem worse. in the old days, someone sat in a lonely attic writing a letter in green ink to their mp and put a stamp on it. now people put down posts, tweets, often anonymously or using a fake name and they say things on line and make threats on line that they would never dare to make to your face or put into a

letter that they had to sign and post. i don't have an instant answer to that and i do think this is something that the big social media companies do need to look at very seriously indeed and i question whether it's right for people to make abusive comments without putting their real names. and i think one or two cases where court action has been taken, people prosecuted for threats made and i think we need to, a few more exa m ples of think we need to, a few more examples of that happening with sentences handed out. i've seen material sent to jewish mps that reminded me of stuff i saw in the holocaust museum, the stuff that was being put about in nazi

germany. i have seen racist material, i have seen misogynistic material, i have seen misogynistic material targeted at women and threats to family. if you are an mp and you suddenly get something in the post that says we know where your children go to school, you worry about that. i know where you go to in your constituency. after the murder ofjoe core, a large number of us would not change in many ways that make a large number of us changed how we carry out our duties. i always used to see my constituents one—on—one and on police advice now i have always had someone police advice now i have always had someone else in the room. just a precaution to take. and that is not how an open liberal democracy, with respect for each other's freedom of speech, or to operate. just briefly, just to return to. it is interesting

to hear your experiences and how mps are feeling. again, leadership does come from the top. if we're talking about and showboating in parliament, and it seems to be that, if they are behind closed doors that you are civil to each other, does boris johnson need to temper his language and attitude? his demeanour leaving the house? i think every leading politician to all party leaders and all elected mps, particularly those in position of authority within their party need to carefully think about the language they use. it is easy to get carried away. i have done prime minister questions and it is gladiatorial. it is the closest thing of ever gotten to a boxing ring. but it is important, in my view, to target your strong feelings and your strong language on ideas

and your strong language on ideas and on policy. denounce those. do not suggest, even inadvertently, that your political opponent is somehow evil or wicked. i think making that distinction is the important point to. it has been very interesting talking to you. and mp until december, thank you very much. time now is seven 20. if you are busy decorating a pumpkin, carol might be putting you to shame this morning to morning. good morning to you both. i am hearing this lyndon near aaron bell and look around me. there are ornamental gourds. pitiful colours sitting next to them we have willow sculptures of trees. again, lovely in the dark. and look at these pumpkins. we have a nice spider

carved here by our guest who we will talk to again later on. and enormous marrow that we tried to lift but it was too heavy. and look at this pumpkin face right here. we have a scary cat here and then the pumpkins get scarier and scarier. look at him! and these are the scariest of them all! charlie and naga! the forecast for many of us today is dry and it will be sunny and bright for many parts of the country. but there isafair many parts of the country. but there is a fair bit of cloud and rain across southern and western areas. it isa across southern and western areas. it is a cold start. you can see we have high pressure to the north, low pressure to the south with the front and in the north, temperatures will fall to —5. are widespread frost on

the north and apache frost on the south. as we start the day we still have cloud and rain across northern ireland, wales, south—west england, heading over in the direction of the isle of wight and all power that might point south—west. through the day the rain will turn more patchy and the wind that we currently have here will start to ease. but some cloud could ease towards the midlands. moved to the north and the east of those areas and we return to bright sunny skies dig a couple of showers peppering the east coast of scotland. temperature wise today, eight or nine in the north and the highs of 13 or 14 as we push further south. through the evening and overnight our weather front starts to move north—east would to if you are going out trick—or—treating, for many it will be dry but there is rain coming in from the west crossing us all by the end of the night did not as cold night as the onejust gone. tomorrow night did not as cold night as the one just gone. tomorrow is night did not as cold night as the onejust gone. tomorrow is messy. the first front brings its rain into the north sea was a gap and it will still be cloudy and murky with bill fogg and then our next weather front

comes into dig if you see any brightness in that gap, the temperatures could reach about 17 degrees in london but generally tomorrow will be mild across the board. as we head on into the weekend, saturday, forecasters uncertainty dig we know we have a deep area of low pressure coming our way bringing heavy rain and persistent rain and also gales. severe gales even to what we think at the moment is that the rain will be where you can see it and also severe gales around the south—west of england, gales across southern counties and in the east of scotland in particular we could also have gales. all it will take is for that low pressure area to change its position in the distribution of the rain and the wind will also change. if you are doing anything on saturday outside, stay tuned to the weather forecast. charlie and saturday outside, stay tuned to the weatherforecast. charlie and naga. thank you very much. tomorrow marks one year since the change in the law

one year since the change in the law on medicinal cannabis. allowing doctors in the uk to prescribe it under certain conditions. it followed high profile campaigns from families of children with severe epilepsy — but now it seems some families still aren't receiving the drugs without having to pay thousands of pounds to go private. matt and ali hughes from norwich say they're spending nearly one and a half thousand pounds a month to help their son charlie's constant seizures rain surgery was ruled out so the last—ditch attempt was cannabis to try and stop him having a terrible life of constant seizures. with the seizures he is also at high risk of sudden unexpected death. so having that plan the back of your mind as well. then find this medicine, it has changed this life and hours of dig our whole family. it has been marvellous. you could call it a miracle. i would marvellous. you could call it a miracle. iwould really like boris

johnson to intervene for us parents and sort out. i no-one woman who has to sell her house because she cannot afford to pay for her daughter's medication. it is awful, in the uk in 2019.. . joining us now is harry sumnall who's a professor of substance use at liverpool john moores university. charlie there, he has gone from 122 under ten seizures a day. but the family, next month, will be unable to privately for the treatment. it seems extraordinary that they are left in those circumstances. the law was changed one year ago and that would enable doctors to potentially be able to prescribe medicinal cannabis products. but that does not mean that it would —— they would. so at the time the law was changed, many professional bodies, some of

the associations, were worried there was not enough evidence, despite these cases, these very emotional cases, perhaps there was not enough evidence to support widespread prescribing. paint the picture for us. prescribing. paint the picture for us. i know you are not in the medical profession as such but you do look at substance used. this family goes to their gp and says here is the evidence. we recorded a, this is what is happening to this is the evidence. can you give us this drug? what happens next? for all drugs and medical procedures on the nhs, particularly in england, they must be approved by the national institute for hills excellence. and they are currently developing guidelines around these products. they have been reviewing the evidence, seeing whether these products are effective for a range of conditions and whether they present good value for the public purse. so whereas on an individual level we have seen quite striking results to this family is a case of

that, but they are concerned that this cannot be generalised to the patient population as a whole and there for there is not enough evidence to say that these drugs should be available on the nhs. who can prescribe at the moment? at the moment the law allows specialist prescribers, neurologists and co nsulta nts, prescribers, neurologists and consultants, senior doctors. and they can potentially issue a prescription. but that does not actually mean that the nhs will then pay for it because the prescription has not been approved. so even if a family want this and they are willing to pay for it, that is the only way to do it? on the nhs. if someone only way to do it? on the nhs. if someone has a private prescription and can afford it, they can get medicinal cannabis product through that. but it is very expensive. we hear 1500, £2000 a month. the number of specialist, private clinics have opened up in london and greater manchester as well but of course

those prices are outside the affordability for most patients. and this will affect many people, potentially sitting talking about conditions like multiple sclerosis and epworth —— epilepsy, chronic pain as well. and nice are saying that it perhaps next month, soon they will issue the guidelines to in theory. it could be transformative for many people. in theory it could be. we have had sight of draft guidelines of the final guidelines that could change but they will probably recommend that these products are not available on the nhs. this is largely due to a lack of high—quality evidence, the sort of high—quality evidence, the sort of evidence we expect from most pharmaceutical preparations. wise entered available? why is evidence is not there? the studies have not been done. when you set family like this, a child with epilepsy, fits and seizures. and that is powerful testimony. but when you think of drugs in general, other types of

drugs in general, other types of drugs for anxiety and for cancer, they have to go through a very rigourous testing procedure according to quality criteria. rigourous testing procedure according to quality criteriam has been great talking to you, harry. thank you very much. time now for the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. the mother of a boy who died from a fatal reaction after cheese was flicked at him says she wants to meet the education secretary to ensure lessons are learned. 13—year—old karanbir cheema died after having a severe reaction at his school in west london in 2017. his mother now wants more to be done to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. they need to teach children about allergies. allergies are on the rise more than ever. they teach everything else, they need to teach other children to recognise

the signs and if other children can help, help. the department of education said children with medical conditions should be properly supported to be safe at school. and karan's school said schools need expert help in delivering education around anaphylaxis. the poppy appeal is aiming to raise a million pounds in london alone today. it's the largest street cash collection of its kind in europe and will see 2000 members of the armed forces, vetera ns, volu nteers, and celebrities selling poppies for the royal british legion. this week sees the world famous london jazz bar — ronnie scotts — celebrate its 60th birthday. the club opened back in 1959 and has survived the changing face of soho, playing host to the likes of ella fitzgerald, dizzy gillespie, van morrison and even lady gaga. ronnie's widow and daughter remember the early challenges to everybody got caught up in the excitement. the cloud was a very close family situation and we all mucked in and

painted and, you know, did repairs to the cloud that needed to be done because muggy was short. it was just a really wonderful, artery. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the roads: northbound traffic on the blackwall tunnel southern approach is slow from the woolwich road flyover. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there is some cloud around this morning. fairly high so we will get some bright spells, some hazy sunny spells and still have the rather brisk westerly wind to contend with as well so it will still feel chilly. further west and south you may get thicker cloud and risk of a little bit of light patchy rain and drizzle sitting elsewhere the cloud breaks out and we will see sunny spells potentially this afternoon. temperatures thanks to that breeze between nine and 12 celsius so feeling quite chilly. it is halloween today. early evening it looks like it

will stay dry and the cloud will gradually increase through the evening and later on in the night into the early hours. this band of heavy and persistent rain arrives and the wind starts to strengthen as well. the minimum temperature is between eight and nine celsius, marking the change to our weather. we lose the high—pressure and we go in at low pressure. wet and windy through friday but look at the temperatures, much milder, 17 celsius and it stays rather unsettled all the way through the weekend. 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 naga and charlie. bye for now. hello — this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. campaigning has begun for the next general election which will be held in six weeks on december 12th.

the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, will launch his party's election campaign today — promising a transformation of britain. the conservatives will blame labour for the failure to leave the eu today as planned. however over 50 mps have announced they'll be standing down, with many warning about the increasingly toxic atmosphere in politics. the social media platform, twitter has announced plans to ban earlier, david livingstone said it was the responsibility of parliament and the media. i don't think there isa and the media. i don't think there is a magic wand in this but i think there is a big responsibility first on both political leaders and editors, broadcast and print media, to try and stop using language which can then be taken up as quite inflammatory and repeated by the patrols, the so—called green ink letterwriters who are out there communicating on line and they say things, they make threats on line

that they would never dare to make to yourface, in a that they would never dare to make to your face, in a letter they had to your face, in a letter they had to sign and post. the social media platform, twitter has announced plans to ban all political advertising from it's website from next month. company's ceo said he wanted to prevent potential problems with fake news and unchecked information. facebook‘s founder mark zuckerberg has rejected calls to follow suit — saying it wasn't right for private companies to "censor politicians or the news" the us military has published the first footage of the raid in northern syria in which it says the leader of the islamic state group was killed. this grainy video released by the pentagon shows special forces approaching the compound where abu bakr al—baghdadi was hiding. he later detonated a suicide vest ending a year—long manhunt. at least 64 passengers have died on a train in central pakistan after a devastating fire which is thought to have started when a cooking stove exploded. the country's railways minister told the bbc the blaze had destroyed three carriages of the train,

which was travelling from karachi to rawalpindi. it's thought many people might have survived byjumping off the train. last—minute ppi claims have cost lloyds bank another £1.8 billion over the last three months. the deadline for claims was at the end of august and banks had been prepared for a flurry of late inquiries before the cut—off. it takes the total now paid out by lloyds to £22bn, by far the largest of all the banks. plenty to talk about in sport. we're looking ahead to this weekend, the rugby world cup final. this is like christmas for a lot of people. england are entered for the first time in12 england are entered for the first time in 12 years. the first time

they could win it in 16 years. i know it's going to be as good as the new zealand match. it felt like the final. such an epic showdown between the all blacks and england. the springboks played wales. it wasn't the most exciting game last time round but we are expecting a bit more. a very physical side. some of the same this weekend. andy, we were discussing the performance against new zealand. it's no surprise eddie jones is sticking to that formula. as you say, he is sticking to exactly the same starting lineup that began that much against new zealand which as you say, is hardly surprising, bearing in mind have brilliantly england played. what

that means is that george ford started fly half with owen farrell outside him in the centres. there is one interesting addition on the bench in the shape of scrum—half ben spencer. spencer only arrives here injapan on spencer. spencer only arrives here in japan on monday. spencer. spencer only arrives here injapan on monday. he wasn't in the original squad but he was called up as emergency cover when willie hines was injured during that game against new zealand on saturday. he has a very decent chance of playing some pa rt very decent chance of playing some part during the match so what a story that could be. england will start this match as the favourite but the head coach eddiejones says the team are taking nothing for granted. we've spent four years getting ready for this occasion so that's why the players can be relaxed, that's why i can be relaxed because we know we've done the work, we are not relaxed about knowing what's done. south africa has a

history of being the most physically intimidating team in the world. we've got to take that away in them and the boys know what's ahead of them. everyone knows what's at sta ke. them. everyone knows what's at stake. because we've had such a good preparation, we can go out and play without any air. south africa have made one change. the winner is back from injury. he is one of the most dangerous wenger is in bold rugby. south africa have a good record. the last time they were in a world cup final, they beat, you've guessed it, england. that was back in 2007. it had all the meetings of an extraordinary night on saturday, holly. let's bring in the former england international ugo monye who's in ruislip this morning.

a lot of people were reflecting on the game in new zealand. can't remember when we saw a more complete england side. we heard eddiejones say south africa can't be underestimated. is absolutely right. england played in the semi—final, probably the most complete performance under eddie jones. probably the most complete performance under eddiejones. they know they give them a chance of world cup glory. for years in the making. a lot of hard work, the same for every tea m making. a lot of hard work, the same for every team who have competed in the world cup but this world cup, england have been so confident, they would take a huge amount of toppling off the number one team in the world and go it is clear favourites. off the number one team in the world and go it is clearfavourites. andy mentioned that england do have a bit of history. it's not always gone england's way. a lot of the england side we've seen now has taken a lot

of inspiration from that springboks side. i certainly think so. it's a springboks aside in 2007. they've been 36—0 in the four stages. a huge amount ofa been 36—0 in the four stages. a huge amount of a thread really from 2007 all the way through to 2019. you look at the style of play in some of the personnel, a huge amount of inspiration has been taken from that and it almost feels as if it's come full circle. eddiejones and it almost feels as if it's come full circle. eddie jones is and it almost feels as if it's come full circle. eddiejones is now coaching this england side 12 years on but i keep going back to how confident this england team really are and regardless, ifeel confident this england team really are and regardless, i feel england will be able to answer any question, whether it's physicality or the blistering woodwork, this england side are so well—prepared. blistering woodwork, this england

side are so well-prepared. it's charlie and the studio. i'm fascinated by the psychology. eddie jones is such an intriguing manager. it's all been business, hasn't it? it's all been business, hasn't it? it's just another game. we go through and don't celebrate. head of the world cup final, what is the point where you think he says to his players, this is your history. you have the chance to kind of do something extraordinary. when does that message start to change?” think that message probably changes just before the guys go out to play the match. this week you really do wa nt to the match. this week you really do want to treated like any other week and become more than you've ever been because you've got guys like me and supporters all around the world just talking about how england got one hand on the trophy. you can't get carried away in that. the fact is, if the guys replicate everything they've replicated over the last seven weeks in terms of performance and preparation and recovery, i firmly believe they are going to win. it is unique for some of these guys, win. it is unique for some of these guys, the majority of these guys, this will be the first world cup

final they played and for some of them, it could be their last. that in itself and pressure. an expectation now on england which perhaps wasn't there a few weeks ago but there is nothing better than being ina but there is nothing better than being in a change room just review on the 22 other guys, and eddie jones said they are relaxed because they've know they've done all the ha rd they've know they've done all the hard work. it's just about going out on the bigger stage and being able to reduce the performance of a lifetime and they certainly know that if they are able to get anywhere near those performance levels they've reached against new zealand, they will be world cup winners in the first time in 16 yea rs. winners in the first time in 16 years. he loved to be in the change room to find out what is being said. we need to explain where you are this morning in ruislip and what's happening. project rugby is an

initiative, gallagher is the sponsor. it's essentially getting out into urban areas. i think this is kind of a preconceived idea you have to look a certain way and you have to look a certain way and you have to look a certain way and you have to go to a type of school to make it in rugby and project rugby alongside gallagher have been dispelling those myths. when you look at this england rugby squad, 70% started at state schools and that's an incredible figure and i think that kind of message which says to the people we don'tjust live in this huddle, that rugby really is a sport for all different shapes and sizes, skin colours, ethnicities, it doesn't matter about your social and economic background, but it's a sort expect a sport which has a beautiful message on the power of these 31 guys were out there in japan at the moment, their messages and kind of stories are truly extraordinary. come with from a bme

background and it's more than just by. background and it's more than just rugby. the squad is so diverse, it's so rugby. the squad is so diverse, it's so united, being able to achieve something so powerful. in a couple of hours, we will see loads of kids, boys and girls, getting involved in a sport that i love and tens of millions of people as well. that is really what it's all about. we get so really what it's all about. we get so excited about winning titles and world cup but it's at that level, bringing everyone together and ever and enjoying the sport we all love. the countdown is on. from today there will be six weeks before we head out to the polls to vote in the christmas snap election.a fresh vote has been anticipated for quite some time, but not everyone will be registered to cast their own ballot. ailsa irvine, from the electoral commission is here now and can tell us how to make sure you will definitely be able to have your say

on the 12th december. making sure it's all very clear. first things first, let's talk about who can actually register. over 18 and living in the uk you can apply to vote. the deadline is november 26. an easy process, it takes five minutes. you can go online at the government .co .uk website. you need your national insurance number, address and date of birth. so that is the first key date. a lot of talk about students in relation to this general election. what about if they have gone home, where are they registered was to that work? stu d e nts registered was to that work? students can be registered at their term address and their home address and they can vote in a polling station where they will be on polling day or if they are away from the address where they want to post they can do a postal vote.” remember the thrill of casting my first vote on election day when i

was younger ever since first vote on election day when i was younger ever since i have done and —— postal vote. there are alternative methods. it is easy to choose which way to vote. you can turn up the polling station on polling day or you can apply to do it by post it you can download a form from the website. as long as descended into the council by 5pm on november 26 you will get a postal vote sent. alternatively there is another option, you can apply to vote by proxy, which is opposing —— appointing someone to vote on your behalf and you can do that on the website or via form and that can be done up to december for. doctors about the addresses. if you've moved house, what you do about that? -- talk to us. people who have recently moved house of the least likely to be registered correctly. so apply to register to vote if you have moved house and do that by november 26. if you have not updated your registration details and are still

registered at previous address, you can registered at previous address, you ca n vote registered at previous address, you can vote there on polling day. and to register on a new address do you need any more information? no. the same process. there is a lot of talk about whether or not it was wise to have a december election because of the weather and who would act fully go to the polls. not politically but let's talk about it in practical terms. people with mobility issues, if the weather is bad, it is december 12, what about that? what can we do about those people? people who think that they may be affected if there is bad weather to prevent them from getting to the polling station, they should think ahead about whether they want to put in a proxy or a postal vote to make sure they are guaranteed of being able to vote regardless of conditions to on polling day itself, the local teams running the polling stations at a local level will have contingency plans in place so whatever events come up, they will make sure that people are able to attend a polling station and will do everything they

can to make sure that happens. so satisfying to have someone sitting here who knows the answer to every question. but that is yourjob and what you are supposed to do. lovely to see you here this morning. people may have other questions and if you wa nt to may have other questions and if you want to get in touch with us, let us know. 12 minutes to eight. carol is surrounded by pumpkin, another regular day at work. good morning! good morning, everyone. iam here in swindon this morning. a beautiful village even in the cloud and drizzle and i am joined by meghan who is an illustrator and has created these magnificent pumpkins. good morning. you have even done a bbc breakfast one in pink. thank you! tell us about them. these are real pumpkins, they are not ceramic. they are real pumpkins, all painted and then we used talk pain, glitter, other paint just to and then we used talk pain, glitter, other paintjust to make really fun. so which paint do you recommend for painting pumpkins? wall paint. you

can geta painting pumpkins? wall paint. you can get a little test the pot. you will get a nonstick coating and it does dig better to the pumpkin. any glue? you can use glue orjust go straight onto the wet paint. how long do they last? i don't have an exact date but with the paint on it will last longer than carving. you can glaze them as well to last even longer. is this a new trend? painting rather than carving? definitely. you can be more creative, add some glitter, get words in there that you would not be able to normally. you were telling me you have been running some pumpkin workshops. have they been popular? we do a lot of workshop and they have been so popular with eve ryo ne they have been so popular with everyone coming in and having some fun, just forgetting that they are an adult the end that is lovely. thank you so much. i will move so you can cover them because it is damp and we don't want them to get damage. it has been relentless here this morning as it has been in other

parts of the country but the forecast for most of us today is generally dry and also bright with some sunny skies. we do have low pressure coming our way, high pressure coming our way, high pressure pulling away and what is happening under the high—pressure we have cold nights and especially so last night across the highlands dig -5.8 last night across the highlands dig —5.8 in some areas. wiper spread frost across scotland and in southern scotland we have a patchy frost to the front in the south still produces cloud and rain across northern ireland, wales, south—west england, heading in the direction of the isle of wight. south of that it is cloudy and damp and the renal ease as go through the day in the strongest wind will ease off as well to but as we move northwards and eastwards we are back into the brightest guys with the odd isolated shower. temperatures about eight in north to 13 in the south. through the evening and overnight if you are

going trick—or—treating, for many it will start dry but don't forget we have the cloud and rain coming in from the south—west. through the night that will push steadily towards the east. find it it will dry up and not be as cold and night is the one that has just gone. so as we head through the course of tomorrow, friday looks quite messy. we have our first front moving towards the north sea and clearing, taking the rain. and then we have a dry slow but it will still be murky withheld fog, some dampness here and there and then we have another front coming in from the south—west bringing rain. if we see any sunshine we could hit 17 degrees. in somewhere like london. but generally tomorrow it will be milder but cooler over the last few days to on saturday, the low pressure comes our way. deep pressure that make area of low pressure. still some uncertainty as to whether low pressure will go what you can see on the charts is what you can see on the charts is what we think. there will be persistent rain and also severe gales, south—western approaches,

gales, south—western approaches, gales across the english channel for example and also gales east of scotland. but all it takes is for the low pressure to move a little north, south, east or west for that matter and where you have the wind and the rain also changed. so if you have outdoor plans on saturday, keep watching the weather forecast. we are always watching it, carol. i was just reminiscing a moment ago about launching new tv series, the excitement about a new station opening. i remember when channel 4 launch, that was in 1982 and i remember watching because before the programme started, before it came on airyou programme started, before it came on air you would sit and every 20 minutes they would show you a clip and then you would stare at the screen and then you would stare at the screen and you would see and then it would go blank again. people were so excited and that was for an fourth channel. and now we have so much. and in those days you had to sit down at a certain time to watch a programme. you could not choose to watch it when you wanted to. a very

different landscape now, isn't it. you remember it, don't you? 1982? january, november so i was less than two years old. i was laughing at the way you were talking about it as if it was black and white on a windup television. it's not that long ago but you are correct, the way the man that make media landscape has changed is utterly transformed how we consume media. first there were just live tv channels and then came videos and dvds, now we have a range of streaming services to choose from. and from tomorrow there is another. the latest offering from apple. but apple's new service will joina apple. but apple's new service will join a cloud market. over half of all households now subscribe to at least one tv streaming servers. the biggest as you have probably heard is netflix. that began as a dvd

rental service they have over 150 million subscribers around the world but to get those customers through the doors they have had to spend a lot of muggy, $12 billion on new content last year. it will spend even more this here. but the success includes dramas such as the crown and the sci—fi series stranger make things. but amazon prime costs about the same but it gives you free delivery from the shopping website. and there are other new place as well. box will launch later this year, a joint—venture between the uk's august broadcasters including the bbc. there is also disney plus. after buying up other firms that service will offer tv shows from a variety of sources. so with so much choice, which do you choose and how much will it all cost? let's speak to scott, a tv critic. good morning to scott, a tv critic. good morning to you, scott. there is so much choice right now and it is hard to know what to choose to pay for. and

thatis know what to choose to pay for. and that is the point. you will have to pay a lot. yes. and that is the thing. it can be overwhelming with the amount of stuff and also the fa ct the amount of stuff and also the fact that each provider has their own big show so it is a case of you have to be strategic. now tv has all the hbo dramas whereas brick box will basically be an archive. no new shows at all but it will allow you to watch a lot of dramas from 20 or 30 years ago. so it is all about working out what other shows for you and then cancelling subscriptions you do not want. do you suggest you have to be on the ball in working out which ones you want and then strategically cancelling. but with so strategically cancelling. but with so much choice, these firms will have to spend a lot of muggy to get those people to subscribe, won't they? and they are spending a lot. it isa they? and they are spending a lot. it is a lot of muggy but it is all about setting yourself up for the future. the internet has completely changed the way we are watching and

consuming tv. but if you are there spending a lot of muggy now and they become the ecosystem, the 1—stop shop where you want all of your content, that sets themselves up for the next 60 or 70 years in the same way that guided. when they set up the satellite service. so it is all about market share. spending 12 billion might seem like an awful amount of muggy for us but actually comparative to the returns they get it is small. so if we look at what apple is doing, they seem relatively late to the game but this is part of the strategy. they know we are spending less muggy on things like ipads and iphones and they want to spend recurring amounts of muggy every month on subscription services like this. potentially they have worked out a big benefit to them, for example apple music getting data from the cloud into your phone but also in terms of using the apple tv service. they want to also be the

place where you only watch their content and use their app and devices for watching things. so about 499 five or six shows including the morning show which is hotly and dissipated and has divided critics but it will be interesting in terms of working out how they shows will be distinctive compared to all of the others. they may go in with a lot of aspirations but nobody knows what that means. 's talk about the morning show. we were looking at a clipjust there. paste the morning show. we were looking at a clip just there. paste on the morning show. we were looking at a clipjust there. paste on morning television shows we would say there is no drama to be had but you have seen some is no drama to be had but you have seen some of it, what do you think? the difficulty, it's like the idea before they've worked out the plot. for the first few episodes it seems to be making it up as it goes along. even though it is based on a book which is based on actualfallout on atv which is based on actualfallout on a tv showers the us, i watch three

hours of it and i really don't know what to make of where it is going to go. just watch the real thing. thank you so much forjoining us, scott. more from me after eight o'clock. time now for the news, travel and weather where you are. are. the mother of a boy who died from a fatal reaction after cheese was flicked at him says she wants to meet the education secretary to ensure lessons are learned. 13—year—old karanbir cheema died after having a severe reaction at his school in west london in 2017. his mother now wants more to be done to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. they need to teach children about allergies. allergies are on the rise more than ever. they teach everything else, they need to teach other children to recognise the signs and if other children can help, help. the department of education said children with medical conditions should be properly supported to be safe at school. and karan's school said schools need expert help in delivering

education around anaphylaxis. the poppy appeal is aiming to raise a million pounds in london alone today. it's the largest street cash collection of its kind in europe and will see 2000 members of the armed forces, vetera ns, volu nteers, and celebrities selling poppies for the royal british legion. this week sees the world famous london jazz bar — ronnie scotts — celebrate its 60th birthday. the club opened back in 1959 and has survived the changing face of soho, playing host to the likes of ella fitzgerald, dizzy gillespie, van morrison and even lady gaga. the club was a very close family situation and we all mucked in and painted and, you know, did repairs to the club that needed to be done because money was short. it was just a really wonderful camaraderie.

let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning apart from the bakerloo suspended between harrow and wealdstone to queens park following a signalfailure. london overground is also part suspended between watford jct and euston northbound traffic on the blackwall tunnel southern approach is slow from the woolwich road flyover now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there is some cloud around this morning. fairly high so we will get some bright spells, some hazy sunny spells and still have the rather brisk westerly wind to contend with as well so it will still feel chilly. further west and south you may get thicker cloud and risk of a little bit of light patchy rain and drizzle sitting elsewhere the cloud breaks out and we will see sunny spells potentially this afternoon. temperatures thanks to that breeze between nine and 12 celsius so feeling quite chilly. it is halloween today. early evening it looks like it will stay dry and the cloud will gradually increase

through the evening and later on in the night into the early hours. this band of heavy and persistent rain arrives and the wind starts to strengthen as well. the minimum temperature is between eight and nine celsius, marking the change to our weather. we lose the high—pressure and we go in at low pressure. wet and windy through friday but look at the temperatures, much milder, 17 celsius and it stays rather unsettled all the way through the weekend. 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 naga and charlie. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: party leaders hit the campaign trail as mps warn of a toxic atmosphere in politics. culture secretary nicky morgan is the latest to say she won't be running, blaming, among other things, the abuse received by mps. the us military releases

the first footage of the raid in syria in which the leader of the islamic state group was killed. england keep the faith for the rugby world cup final. they name an unchanged side to face south africa on saturday, as they try to win their first title in 16 years. paying the price for ppi. lloyds bank pays out another £1.8 billion for mis—selling payment protection insurance. it takes the total paid out by the bank to £22 billion. good morning from its london village near arundel. we are surrounded by pumpkins, goods and also squash. the weather here is cloudy and damp, as it is in many southern and western areas, but moving into central and eastern parts, we have clearer skies. more in 15 minutes. it's thursday 31st october. our top story: campaigning has begun for the next general election which will be held

in six weeks on december 12th. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, will launch his party's election campaign this morning, promising a transformation of britain. the conservatives will blame labour for the failure to leave the eu today as planned. meanwhile, some mps who are standing down have warned about the toxic atmosphere in politics. earlier on breakfast former cabinet office minister david lidington said it was the responsibilty of parliament and the media alike to help improve things. i don't believe there is a magic wand in this but i think there is a big responsibility first on both political leaders and editors, broadcast and print media, to try and stop using language which can then be taken up as quite inflammatory and repeated by the trolls, the so—called green ink letter—writers, who are out there communicating online.

and they say things, they make threats online, that they would never dare to make to your face or in a letter they had to sign and post. let's get more now from our political correspondent iain watson, whojoins us from westminster this morning. it was interesting talking to a politician and not talking about politics and just talking about the atmosphere and get some insight into what is going on. of course you will cover the politics as well, but it was interesting to see how candid david was and others as well. he is standing down and so he feels free to talk but he talked about how social media has changed things and you can't see because it went on a one—to—one basis after the murder of jo cox for example. —— you can't see constituents on a one—to—one basis. he was also talking about the toxic atmosphere. he said he was surprised that nicky morgan was standing down but not shocked by the level of abuse that she had received and that women were particular targets. he also raised the question about

whether we should allow anonymity on social media, people being allowed to say things without responsibility at all. it is incredibly difficult nonetheless to rein in supporters on different sides of the political argument in what will be inevitably argument in what will be inevitably a bitterly fought election campaign. this is the day we should have left the european union. borisjohnson said he would rather die in a ditch than seek an extension and yet we are not out of the eu which will upset a range of people, and he is trying to blame parliament. that is one side of the argument and on the other sidejeremy corbyn is drawing very distinct dividing lines with the conservatives. he will be attacking a whole range of targets, rogues gallery of bad landlords and bad business people, media magnates. in that kind of atmosphere, it will be incumbent on party leaders to be very careful about the language they will use but equally they want to score points with each other because

we are in an election that will be simply impossible to predict the outcome of. thank you very much. iain watson. we will be finding more about the labour policies that they are proposing. we'll be speaking to the shadow justice secretary later in the programme. the social media platform twitter has announced plans to ban all political advertising from its website from next month. the company's ceo said he wanted to prevent potential problems with fake news and unchecked information. facebook‘s founder mark zuckerberg has rejected calls to follow suit saying it wasn't right for private companies to censor politicians or the news. at least 64 passengers have died on a train in central pakistan after a devastating fire which is thought to have started when a cooking stove exploded. the country's railways minister told the bbc the blaze had destroyed three carriages of the train, which was travelling from karachi to rawalpindi.

it's 8:06am. the us military has released footage of its raid in northern syria, which it says was when the leader of the islamic state group was killed. the video, released by the pentagon, shows special forces approaching the compound where abu bakr al—baghdadi was hiding before he detonated a suicide vest. our washington correspondent chris buckler reports. in the first images released of the raid, you can see us special forces making their way into the building where abu bakr al—baghdadi was hiding. as they flew into the area, the american troops were shot at by militants. we're not showing the next portion of this video, but in it, they strike back, killing many of those on the ground. baghdadi was the leader of the islamic state group, and the united states had been searching for him for years. in a graphic description of his last moments, president trump claimed he was crying and whimpering. the pentagon could not confirm that,

but they said he tried to escape through an underground tunnel. us soldiers gathered documents and electronic equipment at the compound before bombing it. it was completely levelled to ensure it didn't become something like a shrine. this was a dangerous mission, and baghdadi was not alone in the building. two people were taken into custody here and five others were killed, including four women. the other people that were engaged on the objective were behaving in a threatening manner with suicide vests, approaching the raid force and that causes you to make some decisions, particularly when they don't respond to arabic—language commands to stop, warning shots, and the progression of escalation that our special operators are so very good at. us military leaders say is as an organisation has been badly damaged by the raid, but they are concerned about the possibility of retaliatory attacks. chris buckler, bbc news, washington.

last—minute ppi claims are still costing banks a lot of money. we've had an update from lloyds bank this morning. ben's looking at this for us. a lot of money. £1.8 billion of last—minute claims. you will remember that payment protection insurance, the scandal around the mis—selling of that, the regulator put a deadline at the end of august we re eve ryo ne to put a deadline at the end of august were everyone to get their claims m, were everyone to get their claims in, and if you missed that deadline, you can't claim. understandably there were lots of last—minute claims. in the case of lloyds, by far the biggest in terms of exposure to the claims, they are telling us this morning they have paid out £1.8 billion. that takes the total to a staggering £22 billion of pp! payments and that was enough to knock its profits. it still made a pretty healthy profit over nine months but profits falling as a result of that extra charge. lloyds we re result of that extra charge. lloyds were the worst affected, by far the biggest player. barclays, hsbc, many

other banks involved but not to such an extent. lloyds also telling us its results today, and a bit worried about what happens next as far as the economy is concerned given the uncertainty around brexit. it is keeping an eye on that. the thing we are focusing on today is the pp! figure, £1.8 billion in the last few months. but that is it now? yes, the deadline is they might be bits where they are catching up with things that the deadline was the end of august. the banks were really trying to draw a line under it. £22 billion in lloyds's case and they are hoping this is the end of it because it has been going on forfour or this is the end of it because it has been going on for four or five years and it has cost them a lot of money. thank you. 8:10am is the time. tomorrow marks one year since doctors in the uk were allowed to start prescribing medicinal cannabis to help with certain health conditions. it followed high—profile campaigns from families of children with severe epilepsy.

still, some say that tight regulations are leaving many unable to access the drugs they need. john maguire reports. you're watching charlie hughes have repeated infantile seizures caused by epilepsy and potentially very dangerous. this was filmed in february. and this is charlie today. after being treated with medical cannabis for the past five months his seizures have dropped from more than 120 per day to less than ten. brain surgery was ruled out so the last ditch attempt was cannabis to try and stop him having a terrible life of constant seizures. with the seizures he is also at high risk of sudden unexpected death from epilepsy. so that plays on the back of your mind as well. to then find this medicine, it has changed this life and ours, the whole family.

it has meant the world to us. you could call it a miracle. charlie has a private prescription. it costs his family more than £1300 a month. their money will run out injanuary. and then he is back to having 100 plus seizures. i would like borisjohnson to now intervene for us parents. one mum has to sell her house because she can't pay for her child's medication. it is awful. 2019 in the uk. one year on from the uk government saying the drug could be prescribed free in specific circumstances, doctors are still refusing to do so, citing a lack of evidence. nice, the national institute for health and care excellence, is due to publish recommendations on medicinal cannabis and it says it

will provide more clarity around where these medicines can be considered as options for patients as well as identifying where further evidence of the potential benefit is needed. but professor barnes from the medical cannabis clinician society says the evidence already exists. there is a huge amount of evidence that says that cannabis can be useful. and, more particularly it is safe. i think we should prescribe and learn as we go along and not say no we will not prescribe and wait until we have more and more evidence so let's start and learn. 12 months after the law change, the department of health in england says there's a clear need for more evidence to support prescribing and funding decisions and we are working hard with the health system, industry and researchers to improve the knowledge base available. but while that could take several years, charlie's parents are anxious that this condition may damage the development of his young brain. time, they say, is one thing they do not have.

john maguire, bbc news, norwich. let's speak to hannah deacon. her son alfie was one of several high profile cases that helped bring about the legalisation of medicinal cannabis. good morning to you. this is a family that you know well. just remind us what happened with alfie. what was his situation and what is happening now? alfie has very severe epilepsy which causes learning to and clusters of seizures. before we went to holland he was having 150 seizures per cluster and we were living in hospital and he had no quality of life at all. we lived in holland for five months and we used medical cannabis and we came home and we ran a very effective campaign and we ran a very effective campaign and we ran a very effective campaign and we won our license. just explain to people. now you have an nhs prescription. yes, and there is one other child in northern ireland and thatis other child in northern ireland and that is it. nobody else. what difference has it made to his life? a huge improvement in his quality of life. he is at home watching now and

he would not have been able to do that before. he is not cured. he had a condition that affects nine boys in the world and it is severe and life limiting but it is about us as afamily giving life limiting but it is about us as a family giving him the best quality of life and giving him less chance of life and giving him less chance of dying. that is what he has now. it has been one year since medicinal cannabis can be prescribed but even then only by specialists, which is very limited. nice is examining its guidelines. we spoke to a professor of substance misuse earlier and he said he has in the draft guidelines and it doesn't appear that there will be a change in the attitude of it being more widely prescribed.” think there is a huge problem here at the moment. we have nice who have created guidelines for medical cannabis with not one expert in medical cannabis on the panel. i was asked to be on the panel but i wasn't able to do any media when i

wasn't able to do any media when i was on it so i refused because i think it is important that i am out there speaking up for people like matt and ali and the families i work with who have no voice. i need to be able to talk about the campaign that iam able to talk about the campaign that i am trying to run and the things i am trying to do. i will not be silenced. at the same time there should be doctors on that panel who know about medical cannabis and there isn't. they are creating guidance based on people who don't know what they are talking about, with all due respect. they are trying to put cannabis in a pharmaceutical model and randomised controlled trials will never work with a plant with more than 200 compounds in it. looking at what nice have said and this interim position, they say in situations where there might not be enough clear evidence of the safety and effectiveness of cannabis —based medicinal products, specialist doctors will consider individual circumstances. they are going along with the way they proceed with other

medicines as well, which as they wait until they have the evidence. the thing is that the families that i work with and support have got that evidence. they have private prescriptions and they are spending thousands of pounds a month. these families are seeing great improvements in their children. they are going to their doctors and asking for prescriptions and the doctors are saying there is no funding orwe doctors are saying there is no funding or we can't do it because nice won't allow us. but matt hancock in 2019 stood with those families and said funding is not an issue and this will be available to you in the next few months. we roll forward to september 2019 and the families all go to westminster and they have given letters to the prime minister, and he is yet to reply to them. why is it ok for my son to access it on the nhs and not the rest of these families? they are the evidence that they are not allowed to access it and it is disgraceful. the people we saw a moment ago, charlie. this is a family that you know. can you give us the basic line

as to why what we have seen that is different to alfie's circumstances? it is not different. alfie has improved on medical cannabis. we ran an effective campaign and we were given a licence to be quiet and go away. i believe the law was changed, as far as away. i believe the law was changed, as farasi away. i believe the law was changed, as far as i can see now, as a pr stu nt as far as i can see now, as a pr stunt because it made people like me not have any airtime on the media any more. because the government have done nothing to help doctors and they have not released any guidance and they have not released any guidance to patients. all they have done is say it is now the clinicians' problem and that is not fairon clinicians' problem and that is not fair on clinicians because they cannot prescribe when nice is coming out with his guidance and the trusts will not allow them to do it. when it comes to the science of this, you say you have the proof and the evidence of it working. there is a cautiousness and that always has been when you mention cannabis. absolutely. stigma is a big problem. so time needs to be given to this, doesn't it? and resources, when it

comes to the efficacy of these drugs. i am not saying research shouldn't be done, it absolutely shouldn't be done, it absolutely should be done. but the doctors in this country can look to their collea g u es this country can look to their colleagues in israel, in canada, where they have been prescribing medical cannabis in canada for the last 17 years. we can be learning. this system is a real thing and it is in all of our bodies and it leads to the response to cannabis as a medicine if it is used in the right way very effectively for certain conditions. we know that and a lot of it is anecdotal that the problem is unless we are collecting that data and looking at it and the evidence out there, we will not move forward. i feel like the evidence out there, we will not move forward. ifeel like the uk is trying to stop right from the beginning and say we have got to try and do randomised controlled trials but they will fail. you will not see many cannabis companies in this world investing millions if not billions in trials that will fail

because of the nature of the plant. the department will health and social care have given us a statement saying there is a need for more evidence to support prescribing and funding decisions and they are working hard with the industry and research are to improve the knowledge base available. that is from the department for health and social care. it has been lovely talking to you again.” social care. it has been lovely talking to you again. i would like to give one last plea to the prime minister, if you don't mind? please a nswer minister, if you don't mind? please answer these families. they have written to him with their statements about their family life and how it has improved. these families do not wa nt to has improved. these families do not want to spend their days worrying about money. they want to spend their days enjoying their children. people will completely understand given what you have been through how passionate you are about this. alfie is watching. and he loves carol! can you say hello to alfie this morning?

with great pleasure. alfie, good morning. kisses from all of us at slindon this morning. we wish you we re slindon this morning. we wish you were with us. at slindon we are surrounded by pumpkins and i want to show you some of them. card by mark, who will be talking to us later. this is charlie and this is naga but they look even scarier in the dark, as you can see from pictures that we found earlier. they are fabulous and it only took him an hour to carve each one. you can see other scary pumpkins. this one continuing with a nautical theme with an octopus and a fish. and it ties in nicely with the mural behind me. this is called octopus's garden and you can see the octopus at the bottom in the darker orange. but it is fairly cloudy this morning in some parts of the uk and also rather damp, especially across northern ireland, wales, and heading into the west midlands and into west sussex and it all points to the west

of that. but the rest of the uk, the focus today is largely dry with a fair bit of sunshine around and just an isolated shower here and there, no more than that. you can see why. high pressure is in charge in the east with low pressure coming in from the west with this weather front. it has been a cold start to the day in scotland and northern england. temperatures have fallen to minus 5.8 in the highlands. so a widespread frost. for northern england it is a patchy frost. the weather front is producing the rain and it will be cloudy in northern ireland, wales and south—west england, the west midlands, the south midlands and as far east as west sussex. damp at times with the rain easing off a touch. the breeze will ease through the course of the day. we could catch the odd shower in eastern areas but they will be the exception rather than the rule. bright weather and sunshine with high temperatures of eight in the

north and 13 or 14 in the south. through this evening and overnight, if you are going trick or treating, a lot of us will have a dry evening. some rain is coming in from the west which will move to the east through the night, crossing most of the uk except the far north of scotland. it will be less cold compared to last night. tomorrow is really messy. it will be murky and cloudy and damp with sam hill fog. particularly in wales and the south—west. the first round in the east clears off into the north sea. there is a dry gap and then the next band of rain comes in. in that gap if we see any sunshine, temperatures could hit 17 but generally they will be higher tomorrow compared to what we have had of late. low pressure is coming our way on saturday but the exact timing and position of this could change. where you see the rain, we think that is where it will be persistent that we are also looking at the potential for severe gales in the south—west and gales in southern

counties and also eastern scotland. all it takes is for that area of low pressure to move north or south and the distribution of the rain and where the strongest winds will be will change. do keep in touch with the weather forecast. thank you. it certainly does look lovely where she is. we are looking ahead to nine o'clock on saturday morning when england play south africa in the rugby world cup. excited much? very excited. i was going to say it is not just about the winning. excited. i was going to say it is notjust about the winning. forget that! it is all about the winning but there are other sides to a major sporting occasion which can encourage other people to get involved. i said to you after watching the rugby that i want to play it and i might be a little bit old and not the right shape but there are lots of young people who will be very inspired by this in communities where perhaps they did not consider rugby before. graham satchell is at a school in west london where they are giving it a go. are you getting involved? good

morning. we are at this catholic school in a cannon in west london and what you are watching here is pretty much the first session for some of these kids what they call touch rugby. —— in ickenham. it is not full contact with violent aggression but they are having a go. this is part of project rugby which is bringing the sport to areas which would not traditionally have played with it. tom from saracens, come in. what is going on here? we are at a school in uxbridge to date with the project. project rugby aims to encourage people from nontraditional by encourage people from nontraditional rugby playing background to play the sport and looked to sustain that into local rugby clubs. do you think that rugby has a bit of an image problem. not at all. what we try to do at the saracens spot foundation

is give opportunity to young people on and off the field, so using rugby and sport to empower people and change their lives for the better. we know what the rewards of sport are, mentally and physically. that is what we are trying to do here, give these guys the opportunity and put them on the right path for the future. there are nine saracens players in the england squad on saturday. are you feeling confident? i think it will be brilliant for the club. and essentially give these quys club. and essentially give these guys at some role models to look forward to in the future. good luck. we will try and catch some of the kids quickly. miguel, what do you like about rugby? it is interactive and a team effort. there is no communication andi effort. there is no communication and ifind it better. effort. there is no communication and i find it better. you prefer it to football. —— there is more communication. and who will win?

england! for a lot of these kids, it is the first time that they have played, and they are very excited about everything that will happen on saturday. can we bring everyone together quickly? we have quite a crowd. the kids just together quickly? we have quite a crowd. the kidsjust arriving here for school, we will send you off with a quick message to the england by with a quick message to the england rugby team injapan. with a quick message to the england rugby team in japan. go england! there we go. how spontaneous was that? you get the message. we are excited about saturday. it is all in the timing! you have got to love it. we are excited anyway. find out what is happening where you are and we will see you in a few minutes.

there is nothing too ghastly in the weather forecast today. for many it will be a dry day but we have some rain this morning across south wales and into the west country and central and southern areas but out towards the atlantic we have this area of low pressure moving in over the next few days. it will feel different for the end of the week compared to the beginning of the week. some sunshine this morning across scotland, northern and eastern areas, holding onto the brightness into the afternoon. in northern ireland, wales and the south—west, quite a bit of cloud with some showery outbreaks of rain expected later on. maximum temperatures, 11—13. tonight, we will see a more significant band of rain moving in from the atlantic. quite heavy rain spreading east. still a little chilly in the north—east. not as cold, no frost around tonight, mild towards the south—west. that friday for many of us will be a day of heavy showers,

some dry weather in between before more heavy rain moves in from the west. my. —— by buyer.

this is worklife from bbc news with sally bundock and karin giannone. facebook gives a thumbs—down to calls for a worldwide ban on paid political advertising. live from london, that's our top story on thursday 31st october, halloween. facebook‘s mark zuckerberg says private companies should not "censor politicians or the news". this after twitter said it would stop accepting political advertising globally. also in the programme: gearing up for a 50—50 merger:
