9:02 am
some very strong winds, with gusts potentially up to 80 mph for parts of southern england. some heavy rain in the forecast as well. i'll have all the details in the next half an hour. it's saturday the 2nd of november. our top story. one of the biggest sporting events of the year has just kicked off in japan, as england take on south africa at the rugby world cup. thousands of fans have been arriving at the stadium in yokohama — many of them in fancy dress and making plenty of noise. showing off the fact they have tickets! many millions more are tuning in around the world. what a day for those lucky enough to be there. in a moment, we'll speak to our correspondent in south africa, milton nkosi. but first, let's go to the official england fan zone in tokyo and join wyre davies.
9:03 am
good morning, you said the fan zone have sold out this morning. are they trickling in now? this is the stadium and two sides are both sold out. these are mainlyjapanese stadium and two sides are both sold out. these are mainly japanese fans supporting england and south africa. it is their world cup and it has been a great tournament and many of them fully behind england. before them fully behind england. before the final they were fans of all blacks because of close links with new zealand. but now many japanese fa ns new zealand. but now many japanese fans are supporting england. it has been a wonderful tournament, disrupted by a typhoon in which people died. they recovered from that. now it is the final. after two wonderful semifinals. 500,000 visitors to japan for the world cup, the first ever in asia. and everybody now, as can be heard behind me, is getting ready and behind me, is getting ready and
9:04 am
behind this world cup final. england are favourites to win. the first time they would have won since 2003. i saw the england players today. they were steely eyed, not talking, very professional. they know reputations count for nothing. the semifinal win against the all blacks cou nts semifinal win against the all blacks counts for nothing. it is about the next 80 minutes. eddiejones is popular in japan next 80 minutes. eddiejones is popular injapan and if he and the tea m popular injapan and if he and the team are to win the second world cup they will have to turn it on in the next 80 minutes. many thanks. let's go to south africa. let's join our correspondent milton nkosi, who is watching the game with some south africa fans in johannesburg. clearly big crowds at the big screen. yes, indeed. south africans have come out in their numbers as you concede to support the springboks. they believe that, as
9:05 am
underdogs, they have a good chance of winning this world cup. 12 years after they won it in 2007, and that was 12 years after they had won it in 1995. so the superstition of the 12 year cycle is in the air here. thank you. big celebrations in advance in johannesburg. there thank you. big celebrations in advance injohannesburg. there can only be one winner and it will be tense. it isa tense. it is a big day in south africa as it is here. you've been letting us know how you're preparing for the rugby world cup final this morning. could this be england's cutest fan? baby ethan from birmingham has been loving the world cup and is wearing his white babygro with pride. it's bacon ba ps all round in loraine's household in cheshire, where big rugby matches means
9:06 am
a big family occasion. and look at mabel. and if mabel looks confused it's because someone has just told her they think south africa will be top dogs at the end of the final. and one family of england fans have been up since 6am. they tweeted. they are glued to the game. bless them. the parents said may be halloween treat, potentially. we are loving your pictures this morning. keep them coming. we will use more before 10am. we will keep you up—to—date with the score. the government has announced plans to suspend fracking in england amid safety fears. a report from the oil and gas authority says it's impossible to predict the impact
9:07 am
of earthquakes caused by the process. here's our business correspondent katie prescott. fracking is the extraction of gas from rocks using high—pressure water and chemicals. its supporters say it is a free—flowing and home—grown source of energy that would cut our gas imports and our carbon emissions. but it has proved to be highly controversial. they had to stop it following an earthquake in lancashire in august, and now the oil and gas authority says it is not safe and companies must halt their activity, but with one important caveat — unless and until further evidence is provided that it can be carried out safely. there's no doubt that extracting more natural gas in the united kingdom would be very attractive. but we've always been clear, we can only do that if it can be done safely. and on the advice from the oil and gas authority, we're no longer convinced that that's the case. but we will follow the science.
9:08 am
so, in future, should the ability to be certain about seismic events, and so on, we will look at it again. fracking's industry body says... environmental campaigners are relieved by the news, but this isn't the first time that fracking has been suspended. it was stopped after earthquakes in 2011, and the door is still ajar for activity to begin again in the future. police have confirmed that all 39 people found dead in a refrigerated lorry in essex last month, were vietnamese nationals. the victims were initially thought to be chinese, but essex police say they're now liasing with the
9:09 am
government in hanoi. a number of vietnamese families have previously come forward, fearing their loved ones are among the dead, but police have not yet formally identified any of the victims. a new wildfire is burning out of control in california — the latest in a series of blazes ravaging the us state. officials say thousands of people have been evacuated since the fire broke out on thursday in ventura county, around 70 miles north of los angeles. 30,000 people are being asked how they would fight climate change. the project is being launched by several commons committees in efforts to achieve zero—carbon emissions by the middle of the century. the special citizens' assembly will meet for the first time next year. back to one of our main stories this morning and the news that the government has suspended the controversial process of fracking in england, saying it's "no longer convinced" of its safety.
9:10 am
a report by the oil and gas authority found it was impossible to predict the impact of earthquakes caused by the practice. the news will delight anti—fracking campaigners — many of whom have been protesting at a site in lancashire for the past two years. we're joined by one of them now — barbara richardson, welcome to the programme. you heard overnight? yes, indeed. quite unexpected. we welcome it. 0bviously quite unexpected. we welcome it. obviously it is a good move, however we are sceptical about the timing of the announcement prior to a general election and parliament dissolving. you are election and parliament dissolving. you are concerned election and parliament dissolving. you are concerned when the election is over, because we know the prime minister in the past has voiced support of fracking, you think you might get the election out of the way and resurrect the plan?m might get the election out of the way and resurrect the plan? it is possible and that is when you read between the lines it is possible. because opposition has been growing
9:11 am
against fracking in communities faced with it, i think he realises with extinction rebellion and others that we need a greener future and that we need a greener future and that people want green votes. and he is looking deliberately to get that vote. on the face of it, cuadrilla will say hundreds of thousands of pounds of compensation for residents, tens of thousand newjobs and tens of millions of investment in parts of the country that need it. what is the problem with fracking? it it. what is the problem with fracking ? it is it. what is the problem with fracking? it is a fossil fuel and extreme extraction of fossil fuels and now is not the time to invest in and now is not the time to invest in a new fossil fuel industry. it is extreme energy extraction with far too many risks to public health and the environment and as said earlier, we are supposed to go to carbon neutral. next year we are hosting the climate summit and we should be leading on energy policy and looking
9:12 am
for a renewable, sustainable future. it is not the time to invest money in that industry, the fossil fuel industry. the 2050 target, the government said fossil fuels will inevitably be a small part of it to get us to the target. what will it be replaced by? renewables. there is a transition we have to go through and move towards renewable energy but if we invest in fossil fuels we will not move to that. we know from the government assessment that there are adequate gas reserves that will see us are adequate gas reserves that will see us through to the transition to renewables. we do not want to invest in something like fracking. we might end up importing more fuel from abroad, even gas that has been got by fracking, because of this moratorium. we are already doing that so why set up a new industry?
9:13 am
all you will do is add to overall carbon emissions. we have security of supply. leave it at that and move away from fossil fuels. move to energy efficiency. let's be leaders. let's not take backward steps. you think it is kicking the problem further down the road? there is a human side to this and i have spoken to people in lancashire where earth tremors might be small but not if it is happening in your home. many concerned residents are worried. we had 3000 reports when there was a 2.9 on the richter scale. people are worried and anxious. they want this to go away, they want respite. they have been fighting it over five yea rs. have been fighting it over five years. i live not farfrom there have been fighting it over five years. i live not far from there and iam years. i live not far from there and i am worried about the risks, not just earthquakes, but the other risks fracking entails to the environment and health. when i heard you were coming in what had happened
9:14 am
overnight, i thought you would be saying, we have won. but you are more sceptical, more downbeat. this isa more sceptical, more downbeat. this is a major step. the industry have lost a big cheerleader. the government have effectively turn their backs on them. it is a day for celebration. we are pleased with this news, a positive step. however, we have to be cautiously optimistic. there is that caveat. we heard it from andrea leadsom. it is until it can be proved safe. i do not think it can ever be safe. it cannot be extracted. you are talking about an industry with lots of sites and thousands of wells. how can it be done safely? we had from one well
9:15 am
over 100 earthquakes. the body that represents companies say that they look forward to demonstrating in the future they believe they can operate safely and be an environmentally responsible. thank you. it is wild out there in some places, especially south west england this morning. we have had reports of high wind and rain and accidents on the road. it is really nasty out there. we have very strong winds. this was devon a short while ago and we have seen gusts in excess of 80 mph. the needles on the isle of wight have recorded a gust of 101 mph. we have met office yellow warnings in place. we have damage and destruction likely and it is down to this low pressure. you
9:16 am
likely and it is down to this low pressure. you can see likely and it is down to this low pressure. you can see the way the cloud is swirling around and it will work its way eastwards across the uk through today. the strongest winds on its northern and southern flank where we have the wettest weather. look at the southern half of the uk. 70-80 look at the southern half of the uk. 70—80 mph gusts at a time this morning. 50—60 mph quite widely in land and just outside the warning area, gusts, 40—50 mph. windy conditions in wales, the south of england and parts of the midlands and also heavy rain currently working eastwards across england and wales and ahead of its spells of sunshine and we will probably hang onto them in the far north. but we have another area of heavy rain across northern scotland that could bring local flooding in across northern scotland that could bring localflooding in places and hear 50—60 mph wind gusts. shetland will probably be mainly dry.
9:17 am
temperatures here around nine. elsewhere 10—14. temperatures here around nine. elsewhere 1044. not much higher than where we started this morning. low pressure will spiral across the uk this evening with rain rotating around that but turning to showers at times. clearer interludes and the wind will slowly start to ease down. lighter by dawn tomorrow. gusty in the south—west still. a cooler night with a low of 5—8dc. the low will be with a low of 5—8dc. the low will be with us tomorrow. it will have lost intensity. the wins being lighter tomorrow. showers particularly in south—west england, northern ireland and northern and eastern scotland, parts of northern england but dry across central, southern and eastern england with sunshine. lighter winds with temperatures as they are today. low pressure staying with us in the week ahead. little change. fairly
9:18 am
u nsettled. week ahead. little change. fairly unsettled. at least we will see the winds are not as strong. and things turning cooler by tuesday. back to you. thanks. it could always be worse. she is not sure about that. it is the old earpiece falling out! it is the old earpiece falling out! it will not be as windy next week. i think the worst weather is today. looking on the bright side. the kind of day to watch a movie when the rugby is over. disney has been behind some of the most loved children's films of all—time, and has more recently taken over the box—office with hits like star wars and the marvel movies. now, the company isjoining the world of tv streaming to challenge the likes of netflix. in his only uk interview, disney's boss bob iger has been speaking to the bbc‘s media editor, amol rajan. to the bbc‘s media earlier this year, the avengers:
9:19 am
endgame from marvel entertainment became the biggest—grossing movie in history. 0k. who here hasn't been to space? marvel is part of a bigger media giant, the walt disney company, known as disney. over the past 15 years, it has been on an acquisition spree under the leadership of bob iger. mr iger, who considered a run for the us presidency, bought pixar animation off stevejobs, lucasfilm off star wars creator george lucas and, last year, in one of the biggest deals in media history, 21st century fox from rupert murdoch. why do you think rupert murdoch wanted to sell? well, i think the primary reason is that he looked at what was going on in the world of media, and all the disruption, and he didn't believe that the hand that they had was a strong as it needed to be. it's that simple, and he didn't have a solution. but what are the underlying trends reshaping the media industry which makes those sort of mega—acquisitions necessary? well, i think if you look
9:20 am
at today's media landscape, whether you are in the uk or the united states, or in many other places in the world, first of all, it starts with content. content is king. quality stands really tall in a sea of choice. and then secondly, get content that is so valuable, so important, so loved by consumers, that they'll access it or buy it almost any way they possibly can. it was rival netflix that pioneered streaming, which allows you to watch what you want, when you want. in the time that i've been on the throne, what have i actually achieved? # for the times, they are a—changin'... apple tv+ launched in london yesterday, with hollywood stars jennifer aniston and reese witherspoon promoting its biggest production. this winter, several technology giants are launching their own streaming services. disney's own service, disney+, launches here next spring. i think netflix is a volume play with a lot of quality in it,
9:21 am
and they created the market in the direct—to—consumer space with video. and we come in with a different play. it's much more branded, less volume, and there's plenty of room for us to occupy space as well, and not... i mean, it may to some extent be at their expense, but not necessarily. there may be room for people to have more than one subscription. 0n current evidence, that seems a safe bet. amol rajan, bbc news. and you can hear more of amol‘s interview with bob iger on radio 4's the media show, which is available on bbc sounds. let's take a look at the front pages. the guardian reports that fracking is banned in the uk with immediate effect, and describes it as a "watershed moment" for environmentalists. the paper also carries a striking photo of a gold coffin, which is part of a new tutankhamun
9:22 am
exhibition in london. strictlyjudge shirley ballas tells the sun that she feels a responsibility to warn young girls away from breast implants, as she recovers from having hers removed. she's still expected to take part in tonight's live show. the daily mail's headline reads ‘we don't need you, nigel‘. it says that the conservatives have "gone to war" with the brexit party leader nigel farage after he threatened to ruin boris johnson's election campaign by fielding candidates in every seat against the tories. and the mirror sport's website has spoken with former england rugby world cup winner paul grayson, who lays out how eddiejones' men can beat south africa this morning. at the moment, south africa are 3—0
9:23 am
up. businesswoman and media commentator anne—marie imafidon is here to tell us what's caught their eye. good morning. so much rugby in the papers. you have to go right through so papers. you have to go right through so many pages. but what else is there? you have chosen a piece in there? you have chosen a piece in the daily mail. history yesterday with a new chief executive at rbs taking up the reins and christine lagarde has taken over at the european central bank. we hear so much about women not being in finance and that space, the 2008 financial crisis, mentioned by the fawcett society saying it was male groupthink that brought this around so groupthink that brought this around so what happens when you have women in charge? at home, 85% of spending decisions are made by women. do you think there is something in that that in the working environment women do things differently? having
9:24 am
a different set of people, things would be done differently. here, it is 325 years we have had the bank of england and we have not ever had a female leader at the bank of england. but there is one who is favourite to take over. it is a difference. people from different backgrounds, different genders, if you have that it would be a slightly different approach i think. you cannot underestimate having role models in those positions who are women. that is my day job. governor of the bank of england! may be! we should get alison a to role model one of our events. and spend a penny and receive a health check. this seems futuristic. i love a bit of that. this is a rather than having body trackers, a device someone
9:25 am
wa nts to body trackers, a device someone wants to put in the lavatory to do a diagnosis and it sends it to your phone within 90 seconds with whatever it has found in your sample. i love the idea. it can pick up sample. i love the idea. it can pick up on levels of hydration, show if you have been drinking too much or whether you have eaten enough fruit and veg. a cool thing to have for health. i have just and veg. a cool thing to have for health. i havejust got and veg. a cool thing to have for health. i have just got a text! oh, no, i haven't! why not? that is how it is going with trackers and data. it is all about the information. is there too much information? it is the hygiene that worries me. pilots, if you plan to fly away for christmas in the sun, british airways pilots were talking about striking. good news if you are planning to go away but not good
9:26 am
news if you are a pilot with british airways. they were going to strike over christmas but they are not going to with what has happened with thomas cook and brexit being pushed out. there has been a bit of a climb—down with the union and british airways have put an offer on the table. this has gone on months. it has been a while. i am happy christmas will not be ruined because it is sad when things like that happen. look at the details of the deal. but christmas is saved, so positive news. interesting story in the times. if having got your information from your mobile phone in the toilet and your information is online, it talks about how we delete profiles. all that information, the data, profiles. the right to be forgotten. supposedly 7%
9:27 am
would like it completely deleted and gone when they die. many would like images to go on to the family but interesting to think about because as you are tweeting, communicating, what happens afterwards is something we do not often talk about enough but there are certain rights around it at eu level that we might have to review in the years to come. what would you like to happen?|j review in the years to come. what would you like to happen? i know they treat them, if someone dies suddenly, facebook for example treat the family with sensitivity and they are allowed to take control of the profile. but increasingly we will all have to make a decision. whether you want the facebook to fault. there are companies that provide a service. a little bit like a donor card, you choose when you are alive. what would you like to be archived and what would you like to delete? facebook do not always capture those. i have friends who have passed away and their accounts are
9:28 am
still live in when there is an anniversary or birthday tributes come in. it can be comforting. it can but we need to be more intentional. i wonder the opposite. so much is up there somewhere, it ta kes for so much is up there somewhere, it takes for that to be hacked and chunks of your history disappear. the opposite could happen. some bits of my history i would not mind disappearing. right, we will look for that! this story, waiter, stop serving up pomposity. a bloke has written a book and he is annoyed because he goes to restaurants and they have these pompous words to describe food. he has written the ten worst phrases. what are they? do you have a reservation? restaurants with a concept. he does not like a concept. we fly mozzarella over from italy twice a week. provenance.
9:29 am
sometimes it is nice to know where your food has come from. artisan. square plates. are they really that offensive? slate plates are annoying. the medium of breakfast on a shovel you might have seen. serving food on things that are not plates. might have seen. serving food on things that are not plateslj might have seen. serving food on things that are not plates. i always think the best service in a good restau ra nt think the best service in a good restaurant is where you barely notice it. your water glasses filled, they are not over—the—top. you do not want to be worried about the plank of wood and whether they have washed it before. it can be a bit intimidating. the worst i saw was soup served in a shoe. did you eatit? was soup served in a shoe. did you eat it? no. in a restaurant? yes. that is grim. let's delete that from oui’ that is grim. let's delete that from

9:33 am
hello this is breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. our top story this morning is that england are currently taking on south africa in a historic rugby world cup final injapan. john will have the latest for us shortly. first here's a summary of our other main news stories. the government has announced plans to suspend fracking in england, amid safety fears. a report from the oil and gas authority says it's impossible to predict the impact of earthquakes caused by the process. fracking has been suspended since august, after a tremor
9:34 am
near a site in lancashire. it's already been banned in scotland and wales. police have confirmed that all 39 people found dead in a refrigerated lorry in essex last month, were vietnamese nationals. the victims were initially thought to be chinese, but essex police say they're now liasing with the government in hanoi. a number of vietnamese families have previously come forward, fearing their loved ones are among the dead, but police have not yet formally identified any of the victims. a new wildfire is burning out of control in california, the latest in a series of blazes ravaging the us state. officials say thousands of people have been evacuated since the fire broke out on thursday in ventura county, around 70 miles north of los angeles. 30,000 people are being asked how they would fight climate change. the project is being
9:35 am
launched by several commons committees in efforts to achieve zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century. the special citizens' assembly will meet for the first time next year. have faith that the british public will come up with lots of good ideas, iam will come up with lots of good ideas, i am sure. those are the main stories this morning. john's with us now, a potentially historic morning for rugby and for english sport john? we knew it was going to be tough and physical and so it has been proved already. three all as it stands and i think england will be pleased that thatis i think england will be pleased that that is how it looks in spite of the south africa pressure. the big absence now is kyle sinckler who has gone off and been replaced by dan
9:36 am
cole and he won't be playing any pa rt cole and he won't be playing any part in the rest of the final so thatis part in the rest of the final so that is a big sadness for him in the light of what is the biggest occasion for him and he only paid a couple of minutes. we were saying ahead of the match they were so calm and composed but now they look a little bit rattled. south africa we re little bit rattled. south africa were leading. good to see that england have levelled things up as it stands. you can follow the game live on bbc radio 5live right now. great britain's rugby league side have lost the first of two tests against new zealand this morning. 12—8 they went down in auckland, it was only 2—2 at half time but the hosts took control after the break. jamayne isaako with the try
9:37 am
here after a brilliant offload, before the kiwis powered over again. great britain replied through daryl clark but it wasn't enough to avoid their second consecutive defeat of the tour. you can catch highlights on bbc1 at 1.15pm. lewis hamilton looks set to win his sixth world title this weekend, finishing fastest in second practice ahead of tomorrow's american grand prix. he was three tenths of a second faster than ferrari's charles leclerc. he only has to finish in eighth or better in sunday's race to secure the drivers championship. qualifying's later today. england will want to settle down somewhat in this final. 3—3 after 25 minutes. south africa have edged ahead with another penalty so 6—3. england will want to try and settle down. thank you very much indeed. there's been a rise of up to 15 per cent in the number of women being diagnosed with hiv in some areas of the uk,
9:38 am
that's despite rates falling overall by six per cent nationally. analysis of those official figures by breakfast reveals half of those women with the virus are diagnosed late, after their health has already suffered. jayne mccubbin reports. when people first hear that i'm hiv—positive, they kind of jump. they step back. adrienne is 70. she was diagnosed hiv positive when she was 52. i think it is shock. i think it's — people are still terrified of it. ijust need to get a cloth. almost 20 years after adrienne's diagnosis, rates of hiv amongst women are rising in many areas, bucking a national decline. half of women today, like adrienne back then, miss early diagnosis because they aren't seen as at risk. my partner had died two years previously, but it had been
9:39 am
a monogamous relationship. but not on his side. and you would have had no idea. i had no idea. i didn't find out until after he died. i'll never forget being told. how can — how can that even be, you know? ijust had no idea. and then i had to go back and tell my mum. she was 80. it was a horrible thing to say for the first time — "mum, i'm hiv—positive" and she — sorry, i'm just thinking about my mum. she said "it's all right, love. we can cope with this. at least it's not cancer." so, yeah. she sounds great. she was! the tape measure isjust like measuring time... but the acceptance adrienne's mum showed hasn't been the overwhelming response. and two decades later, she still faces discrimination. i've been refused treatments, once for a facial and the latest was for toenail clipping.
9:40 am
they wouldn't touch me. i was a leper again. it was like — it was like having my hiv diagnosis all over again. we did a pantomime, where all of the characters were the old hiv drugs. yet, modern medicine today means adrienne's hiv is undetectable. undetectable means untra nsmittable. and that means the levels of hiv in her blood are so low, she can't pass it on. the first day that i heard that word myself and i went in to my doctor and he said "you're undetectable" and i went "oh, that's such a lovely word!" you know, and i went around all day, singing "undetectable, that's what you are!" itjust meant so much to me. what is the message you are so keen to get out? to women, to go and have a test if you've got any doubts at all. because if you find out early, it will — it will save your life.
9:41 am
it saved my life. that's a really positive message and we we re that's a really positive message and we were speaking to a consultant earlier that said don't be scared to go and check out if you have even the slightest symptom. it is wet and wild in many places, especially in southern england. quite widely we have seen gusts at 80 mph. 0n the isle of wight there were gusts of 100 mph. there are a number of met 0ffice warnings in place for the strength of the wind and also for some heavy rain as well across the northern and southern half of the
9:42 am

it is horrible out there. but some great photos from weather watchers. let's go back to the rugby. kyle sinckler has suffered a head injury in a collision with team mate maro itoje and is now off the field. we're joined in the studio by his former coach anastasia long. how did you feel watching that? how did you feel watching that7m was a bit of a heart in the mouth moment, i was a bit of a heart in the mouth moment, lam was a bit of a heart in the mouth moment, i am gutted for him. it is a horrible way for any player to end his world cup. it was so early on,
9:45 am
what happened ? his world cup. it was so early on, what happened? he went in for a tackle with maro itoje and he just caught him in the wrong place and was knocked out straightaway so he won't be taking part in the rest of the match. he spoke about how he came to you at school and said i fa ncy came to you at school and said i fancy playing rugby. to be there on that stage was such a big deal for him, it is tragic. yes, everything has built up to this moment so he will be devastated. he will probably be sitting and watching the rest of the team perform, how is it looking from your expert opinion? it has been difficult to watch and they are a bit unsettled at the moment but they will have prepared for all eventualities they will have prepared for all eve ntualities and they will have prepared for all eventualities and all of these scenarios and it will have formed a lot of their preparation going into this match. there is still a lot of
9:46 am
this match. there is still a lot of this match. there is still a lot of this match left and it can go either way ina this match left and it can go either way in a match of this importance. they need to regain the composure they had in the previous match. an hour ago i felt really bad that you had to sit in our offices watching the game and now i feel bad that you have to even watch it. it can turn around. it is always hard to see a player injured, especially one you have a connection with. i was pleased he walked off the field as i know he will be well looked after. you said he sometimes still calls you miss. yes, i know it is such a
9:47 am
big game. for people who... can cash in sucha big game. for people who... can cash in such a big thing in sport now and people who have responsibility for young people in sport have to understand that there is no game thatis understand that there is no game that is more important for well—being. that is more important for well-being. if you do text him, send our support. it is now a 6—6. that sounds like a good time to go back to harpenden which is where four of the england squad have been based over the years. it looks so tense.
9:48 am
it has become very tense. i have come outside to the outside terraces which is where the die—hard fans are because it is pouring with rain. it is still packed inside and everyone is still packed inside and everyone is still packed inside and everyone is still watching because it is not half time yet. england have drawn level so people are just feeling a little bit tense, like harry, how are you feeling? very nervous. we have sharpened up recently but we are still looking a bit edgy. the injury looked quite nasty but he seems to be a right by the end of the incident. it did to change the dynamic bit and they had to work faster to get over that. absolutely. hopefully we seem to have steadied
9:49 am
the ship a bit so we can only see from the next 50 minutes. what does your gut to say? england by ten still. you're going for it and it getting wet in the process. this is another harry, this is really important and you can feel the tension here. it is a really close match and great to watch. are you a member here and do you come off in? it is really important for us to come here and watch. four players that came from here so you are cheering them on particularly? yes, it is just really important for the local community and it is really exciting. you are getting wet as we
9:50 am
all are but that does not seem to be putting people off. there is a little bit more relief now and that might be because the bar has been open for several hours. i heard someone say i am not expecting to go home for the rest of today. it is starting to feel a bit better but let's see how it goes. those bacon bats have all gone, someone is battling with their anorak there. —— bacon baps. someone is battling with their anorakthere. —— bacon baps. dad, why did you make us stand there he will be saying when it goes viral over the internet. well, it is 6—6. sandi toksvig has long been one of britain's most loved television presenters, and herjob as host of

the great british bake 0ff has only boosted her popularity. she's also led an extremely interesting and varied life and has now written about it for her new memoir. sandi joins us now. do you know what strikes me reading this? if you and i were on the bus together we would have to fight for a place because i sit in the same spot. i have a tremendously good manners so spot. i have a tremendously good manners so i will let you sit there. as long as i can pretend i am driving the bus. i love going on a bus, i think it is tremendous. the thing is, if you are on tv, a lots of people come up to you and say hello and think they know you but if you are on a bus no one comes up to you are on a bus no one comes up to you they are all on their phones. it isa memoir
9:52 am
you they are all on their phones. it is a memoir from you they are all on their phones. it is a memoirfrom me you they are all on their phones. it is a memoir from me driving the, not driving the bus, but being on the bus. i wish i could persuade more people to put their phones down and look out. there is not a single bus route, i think, look out. there is not a single bus route, ithink, in look out. there is not a single bus route, i think, in this country that doesn't go past someone really extraordinary and interesting and they are actually missing at the world by looking at their phones. they are actually missing at the world by looking at their phonesm will never be the same again now we have phones. what is interesting is that people are starting to lose the ability to know how to get places because they are so dependent on their telephone so if i can encourage people to say, i need to get out, just get the bus at the end of my road, that would be amazing.
9:53 am
what is wonderful about the book is that you use parts of the journey to document your life in the country, how did the book come about?” didn't want to write a memoir that says, i was born in somewhere etc but i wanted to tell more stories. i started to take the bus because i had moved house and didn't know the area and one of the buses went from my area to the bbc where i was working and i wanted to write something a bit different. it is not chronological, i tell stories and a

bit of the history. i am obsessed with history. did you know that todayis with history. did you know that today is the birthday of bbc one? the first programme was about the launch of the television service and used to be between four and 5pm and then later on which was presumably a repeat. why don't we stop the bus at baked off. let's take a look at a little bit of this year's final. not a criticism but i think we took a little wrong turn, we are not in the funfair any more. bakers, you just have one hour. it is a bit of a

behave. you are politically active and there have been so many mps, particularly women, who have said that they will not stand because of that they will not stand because of that toxic atmosphere, that must add a new? you have talked about maybe going into politics yourself.” wonder if you can't make more impact by going into parliament and trying to be heard over all the shouting or whether going into the public eye is better. i know many of them and they are hard—working people and the abuse they receive is a disgrace. social media has a lot to blame for that. it is as if village idiots have joined on the same green to shout together. i would say, put your phone down, talk to someone you
