good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today... the impact of 2a hours of torrential rain in northern england begins to emerge. one woman has died — and thousands now face the task of cleaning up flooded homes and businesses. catastrophic bushfires in eastern australia have killed at least two people and forced thousands from their homes — authorities say the worst of it isn't over. and as germany marks 30 years since the fall of the berlin wall, we hearfrom some of the people whose lives were changed in a few

momentous days. and wembley awaits... with a record crowd expected at the national stadium — as england's women prepare to take on germany. good morning. it has been the coldest night of the autumn so far. temperatures in parts of scotland are close to minus seven celsius. after a frosty start, some of us will see rain today. hopefully not too much for those areas that have had such majorflooding. but i will have all the details later here on breakfast. it's saturday the 9th of november. our top story... a clean—up operation is underway in parts of northern england, afterflooding caused by a month's worth of rainfall in just one day. the environment agency is warning people to stay away from the river banks in affected areas. there are currently seven severe flood warnings in place along the river don near doncaster, as jane—frances kelly reports.

normal life has been put on hold here in matlock — it was hit hard by the torrential rain. dirty brown water flowed through the town centre, flooding homes, disrupting businesses and submerging cars. not farfrom here, in rowsley, a woman died after being swept into the river derwent. yesterday, the prime minister visited matlock to meet emergency personnel and to see some of the damage for himself. the city centre in derby was also brought to a standstill as floodwater began to inundate surrounding streets. council workers warned business to prepare for the worst. in worksop in nottinghamshire there were similar disruption as floodwater spread throughout the town. not far away in mansfield, a cliff gave way. the landslide led to 35 homes being evacuated. in doncaster, rescue boats on standby all night. the river don running through the town burst its banks. communities pulled together to salvage belongings.

people said the floodwater spread quickly and they are now counting the cost. i was helping my elderly neighbour move everything upstairs and then her grandson came and helped me with the sandbags. we just all pulled together, it is what you have to do. transport has been badly disrupted. trains are left stranded due to submerged tracks while roads have been closed or are barely passable. although water levels are slowly dropping, flooding can be seen for miles around. let's see what it looks like and some of those areas affected. you are in matlock. i am getting a sense of it looking behind you. tell us what has happened. that is right, i am in the basement of a florist in matlock. look at this. these are

decorative pine cones because this was full of stock and ready to go on sale at christmas. if i walk along, there is more of that here. it is all over the floor. the floor is still damp. you will see why there is so much carnage and destruction here, this is how high the flood waters came to, just up to there. i would nearly have been submerged. it has completely destroyed all of the stock that the florist here had ready for sale. there is a real smell of musty nest in the air. robert young is the owner. tell us what happened and what you saw when you came here. good morning. i came down here yesterday morning at 2:30am. i couldn't believe my eyes, the water was up to two feet deep andi the water was up to two feet deep and i could not know what to do first. how long might it take you to recover? we have the assessors

coming in at ten o'clock. hopefully we are going to just get on with it. a must have been quite a shock when you saw what happened to your stock. totally devastated. my wife was here, she was in tears. you do not expect it. how long might it take you to get back on your feet and how much might it cost? we spoke to our wholesalers in sheffield and leeds and they are going to supply us with some stock next week, so hopefully we are going to get back pretty quick. fingers crossed for you, robert. this goes for many businesses here. this isjust one of the businesses going through this. on the streets it might be looking clearer, it will be clearing the sandbags away, but there are weeks and weeks of clear up operation and thousands of pounds of damage for the local businesses and residents to deal with. thank you very much. health and childcare take centre stage today,

as the political parties continue their general election campaigns. labour is promising to open a thousand new sure start children's centres in england as part of a four and a half billion pound investment package. the liberal democrats are also revealing plans for free childcare for working parents. meanwhile, the conservatives say they'll fund the training of 3,000 more gps in england over the next five years. let's get more on this from our political correspondent pete saull who's in our london newsroom. lots to talk about today. lots of numbers to be crunched. let's start with the sure start centres. labour brought them in under tony blair in 1997 and over the last nine years of conservative administrations, many have closed and the funding has been cut by around one third. the labour party say they will open around 1000 centres around the country. when it comes to child care, labour are

promising all parents of two to four—year—old is whether they work 01’ four—year—old is whether they work or not will be eligible for 30 hours of free childcare. the liberal democrats are going one step further, they say should be 35 hours per week and it would also apply to children as nine months, applying to pa rents children as nine months, applying to parents who work a certain number of hours per week. the liberal democrat admitted earlier it would cost {14.6 million and charities and some of those providers are calling for more clarity from the parties on how this would actually work. while i am talking about that, do you want to grab talking about that, do you want to gmba talking about that, do you want to grab a microphone? you are slightly off microphone. i willjust say, we had the liberal democrat candidate on. we also spoke to matt hancock earlier on as well and we were talking about the proposals for gps. do you want to tell us more about

that? anyone who will testify will say it is difficult to get a gp appointment in recent years. the conservatives have recognised that and they want to make 50 million new gp appointments per year, afterfive yea rs of gp appointments per year, afterfive years of a conservative government. how would they do that? here is the health secretary matt hancock. we are going to have 3000 more gps in training, 500 increase peryear, and also get the gps, doctors in training come into gp surgeries earlier. on top of that, we have also got measures for more international recruitment and measures to support gps to stay longer in general practice and stop them retiring early. in total, the package will deliver 6000 more doctors and primary care. quite an ambitious pledge from the

conservatives. i say ambitious because they made a similar pledge, as you pointed out, with matt hancock earlier on back in 2015. they said by 2020 they will be 5000 extra doctors and they are nowhere near meeting the target. pete, thank you very much. huge wildfires are continuing to sweep across eastern australia, leaving at least three people dead and hundreds of homes destroyed. firefighters are warning strong winds and a continuing drought could make the situation worse. earlier, our correspondent phil mercer gave us this update from sydney. these are men and women who are risking their lives. they are volunteers, 1200 volunteer firefighters on the ground here in new south wales supported by a squadron by water bombing aircraft, including two huge air cranes. these are giant helicopters capable of dropping an enormous amount of water 01’ dropping an enormous amount of water orfire dropping an enormous amount of water or fire retardant on the fires and

they are most definitely needed. this is a military style operation to try and protect firstly, of course, life and also property. due to the scale and the size and the ferocity and the speed of these fires, more than 150 homes here in new south wales have been destroyed. we have been hearing in the last couple of minutes that a third person has now been confirmed dead in what has been a catastrophic couple of days for two states here in eastern australia. here's ben with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. a lot going on with the weather at the moment. still flooding problems for some. a number of severe flood warnings on the river don. more rain to come for some of us today. hopefully not too much for the flood affected areas. a frosty start with fog, especially through the midlands and south—east

england. freezing fog at that. we have this band of rain pushing in from the west. snow mixing and on high ground in wales, and may be over the midlands and north—west england as well. the rain heavy and persistent in south—west england. very wet through the eastern side of northern ireland. some disruption as possible. easy to defy southwest. the best of the dry area across east england and up to scotland. still some showers. don't wet for a time across central and southern parts of england, the south of wales. that rain only slowly pulling away southwards. clearer skies further north. lows of minus four celsius. as we go into tomorrow, showery rain first thing. fat remembrance sunday, not a bad —looking day. long spells of sunshine. —— for remembrance

sunday. temperatures of eight to 11 celsius. that is all from me for 110w. celsius. that is all from me for now. thank you very much. stay with us now. thank you very much. stay with us for more news this morning. we will be bringing you up to date with the flooding in england this morning. we are going to stake a bite to on bbc one. goodbye for now. —— we are going to say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. goodbye for as we've been hearing this morning, trying to cross the berlin wall was incredibly dangerous. tens of thousands of people tried it, but very few succeeded. so,

if you couldn't get over it, what about tunnelling underneath? the extraordinary story of a young student who did just that is being told in a new bbc podcast. let's take a listen. some people are brave about escaping, somejust some people are brave about escaping, some just jump over the barbed wire. someone jumped escaping, some just jump over the barbed wire. someonejumped into the river throwing their three—year—old daughter in a bathtub. then people sneak into houses right next to the wall and they throw themselves out of the windows, hoping that firemen on the other side in the west will catch them. you can see footage of them doing this because camera crews in the west film. it is great propaganda, showing how desperately people want to get out of the east, and in one clip you see this woman, she is in her 705, wearing a black d re55, she is in her 705, wearing a black dress, and she is hanging out of a window. her arm5 dress, and she is hanging out of a window. her arms are being held in5ide window. her arms are being held inside the flat, they are trying to drag her back inside. the east and we5t drag her back inside. the east and west are literally fighting over thi5 west are literally fighting over this one woman. the podca5t‘5 producer, helena merrimanjoin5 us now.

good morning to you. how do you pronounce your name? what is fascinating about the podcast is fi r5tly, fascinating about the podcast is fir5tly, why did you think the story needed to be told? how did you get to it? i didn't set out to tell a 5tory to it? i didn't set out to tell a story about the berlin wall, i was making a story about donald trump and his proposed wall, and i came across this number, 65, 65 countries in the world may have wall5 across this number, 65, 65 countries in the world may have walls or some kind of barrier, and i thought that wa5 kind of barrier, and i thought that was interesting, and i was reading up was interesting, and i was reading up about different wall5 was interesting, and i was reading up about different walls and came to the berlin wall, which was the only wall in history built to keep people m, wall in history built to keep people in, not out. and i came up with this amazing e5cape in, not out. and i came up with this amazing escape 5tory in, not out. and i came up with this amazing e5cape story about a guy that e5cape5 amazing e5cape story about a guy that escapes from the east to the we5t, that escapes from the east to the west, and it is the refugee 5tory you don't hear about so often, west, and it is the refugee story you don't hear about so often, he gets to the promised land and

freedom, but instead of enjoying the life, he turns around to start digging to help other people escape, andi digging to help other people escape, and i thought that was interesting. we know it is 50 years since the wall came down, there have been commemorations this morning. and seeing some pictures of the live events as we speak. angela merkel has arrived. here are some of the pictures. we were hearing this morning from people who lived in the east and west, two people, one was 23 and one was 13, when the wall came down. and the lady lived in east germany and was saying that as a schoolchild she can remember her friends' was saying that as a schoolchild she can remember herfriends' homes who we re can remember herfriends' homes who were near to the wall being searched regularly because the authorities we re regularly because the authorities were checking people were not digging tunnels. it was just part of everyday life, anyone who lived there had to go through the procedure. right, and one of the interesting things about the berlin wall was just how quickly it went

up. in the first few days you had the most amazing kind of escape attem pts the most amazing kind of escape attempts were some people were climbing into those houses by the wall, and which threw themselves out of the window. other people would crash through barriers, one couple put their three—year—old baby in a bathtub and swam through the river to try to get out, and you had all these tunnel attempts. what was so terrifying about it for those channelling was that they knew that anytime the border guards above them hear them, they had special listening devices for tunnels, and if they heard someone digging underneath them, they were known to rip open a hole into the tunnel and throw in dynamite, and there were also tunnels that collapsed. so they knew that this was life or death. and you didn't know who to trust, thatis and you didn't know who to trust, that is what is so prevalent, this impending feeling of, is this the right person to trust? the secret police were everywhere, and one of the tunnellers involved. you have

brought in one of the files. yes, this was a man called siegfried, a hairdresser. and when i started working on the story i asked the stasi archives for everything they had on the tunnel and they sent me 2000 documents. it is an amazing storytelling device as a journalist because you get meticulously recorded files about what was going on. this is the image of him. yes, young hairdresser at the time, he had been caught smuggling cigarettes, and he was also gay, which was illegal at that time, and the stasi said if you do not come and work with us we will send you to prison. so he agrees to work with them, and sets himself the challenge of... he finds out about a group of tunnellers, and tells the stasi everything, and the first time they try to dig into the east, they crawl

straight into a stasi trap. also interestingly, there is a leak where they cannot figure out how to fix it, and they actually go to authorities to tell them a tunnel is being dug. yes, it must have been a terrifying thing to do because they we re terrifying thing to do because they were spies even in the authorities there were known to be people working there for the stasi. they go to the west berlin water authorities and asked to help them fix it. all the way along they take such huge risks, and this is all to help people escape out of the east into the west. the other fascinating bit, i have only got to this bit so you cannot spoil it for me! nbc at the time, the us broadcaster, gets involved in size, we will help with money and funding, but we want the

story. and this is a bit of the story. and this is a bit of the story where i had thought i had to tell it. this would have been one of the most controversial deals in the history of tv news, you have this american broadcaster giving these tunnellers money, $7,500, and in return being allowed to fill it. the reason nbc did it was because they wa nted reason nbc did it was because they wanted to invent a new kind of tv, showing the story in real time, not knowing how it would end. this was one of the first attempts at reality tv, so they were filming everything when you first saw the escapees making it through the tunnel, which is incredible. it is the most incredible footage i have ever seen. and so much material now you have access to that people didn't before, thank you very much. it is called tunnel 29, and it is not each along, each episode is bite—size, thoroughly enjoyable.

you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the front pages. the guardian publishes figures that show the number of nhs patients having surgery in private hospitals has trebled since 2010. the picture shows residents being evacuated from their homes after heavy rainfall across northern england and the midlands. the times reports that google is making tens of millions of pounds from so—called "rip—off firms", which it says are using the search engine to encourage savers to invest in "potentially fraudulent schemes". and the mirror reports that a face—lift clinic has caused fury by using photographs of the duchess of cambridge to win clients. the firm reportedly said it could offer kate's "natural look". maths teacher and presenter, bobby seagull is here to tell us

what's caught his eye in today's papers. 0k we are looking at airlines and cleanliness, and which magazine found that the quick turnaround flights came at the bottom, the budget airlines, like ryanair, only 4296 budget airlines, like ryanair, only 42% of customers reckoned that the aeroplanes were 42% of customers reckoned that the aeroplanes were clean. can i do say, looking through this, the advice from which? says if you take some cleaning wipes with you, or they say you might want to wear a biohazard suit. which might be a little inappropriate. it might take up a little too much luggage space. are just where an old onesie, and put it

ina bag just where an old onesie, and put it in a bag to bring back home. some new words for us. two nonsensical words, mean a gossip. what languages this? they are all dialects, and the university of leeds are looking at how dialects have changed over time. back in the 19505, nine fieldworkers went around england about everyday objects, they asked thousands of questions and had 4500 asked thousands of questions and had a500 responses, and the university of leeds are trying to update it.

people who are potentially descendants of those people who gave the initial survey, and ask if the words are still in use. ferntickle is freckles. not sure what a spindleshank is, though. next, a school in brighton says we are banning the game tag because certain children have escalated and caused scuffles to get along. but thatis caused scuffles to get along. but that is the joy of tag, a better rough—and—tumble, getting your energy out. —— bit of rough—and—tumble. energy out. —— bit of rough-and-tumble. i can see you don't want children to get harmed, but children need to learn things like boundaries, when is a push acceptable? if they do not learn it

at school, when will they learn it? the line from the school is children are being told to play with gentle hands, that's what it says. it doesn't mean no touching, but if you are banning tag, it is an innocent childhood game. i was always a bit rough playing tag. the thing about that is often there is another side of the story, you don't know exactly why that particular story has ruled it now, maybe something happened, probably they have a different account of things than what appears on the face of it. don't throw the baby out with the bath water because in this case, if children are being excessively aggressive, challenge those children and punish them appropriately but do not ban for all children, i think thatis not ban for all children, i think that is extreme. now, a story about courage. yes, if you haven't heard of charlie, you will soon, a year ago he posted on instagram a boy on

ago he posted on instagram a boy on a horse, talking about courage, and it went viral, and now publishers have asked him to write a book, all about courage, saying it takes a special person to ask others for help. -- a strong person. courage comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes, a little or a big thing. historically courageous people have been people standing up for their rights, but people are really struggling and asking for help is equally courageous in a different way. talking about gloom on the high street and which chains are suffering and what happens when we see good shops are popular shops go, and the impact on the high street,

and the impact on the high street, and now, mamas & papas. yes, there is always a different story about retail outlets, and if they do not compete with on leisure outlets, they are not going to survive, simple economics. it has a story we doa simple economics. it has a story we do a lot here, a real struggle for the high street. if consumers are all buying online, the physical stores will suffer. i have the a nswer to stores will suffer. i have the answer to the word we were looking for spindleshanks, we have one on the team. what is a spindleshank? someone who is delightful and charming and easy to work with? yes, john watson is a spindleshank, our sports presenter, someone with long, slender legs. he is a very

tall man, john, as you will see when he does the sports news. thanks, bobby, lovely to have you on the show this morning. still to come here on breakfast this morning. olivia coleman and jodie whitaker are part on an all—star line up who have lent their voices to a new album for children in need — we'll find out more about itjust before ten.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up before ten, ben will have the weekend weather. the sport with john the sport withjohn as well. but first at a summary of this morning's main news. a clean—up operation

is underway in parts of northern england, after a month's worth of rainfall in just one day caused widespread flooding. one woman has died in derbyshire after being swept away by floodwater. there are currently seven severe flood warnings in place along the river don near doncaster. the river derwent in derby peaked at record levels last night, prompting fears it would break its banks. health and childcare take centre stage today, as the political parties continue their general election campaigns. the liberal democrats and labour have both pledged to help working parents by providing additional hours of free childcare. the conservatives say they will train thousands more gps in england over the next five years. we are going to have 3000 more gps in training, 500 increase per year, and also get the gps into gps surgeries earlier. and on top of that, we also have measures for more international recruitment and

measures to support gps to stay longer in general practice and stop them retiring early. so in total, them retiring early. so in total, the package will deliver 6000 more doctors in primary care. three people have died as wildfires continue to sweep across eastern australia. hundreds of homes have been destroyed. firefighters are warning strong winds and a continuing drought could make the situation worse over the coming days. the fall of the berlin wall 30 years ago brought to an end years of conflict and division. today, special services in berlin, will mark what many believe to be one of history's most important moments. our correspondentjenny hill is there for us now. it is such an important moment in history and tell us what will be happening. all sorts of commemorations and celebrations today. there is going to be an event and ceremony held in the chapel they

are behind me. angela merkel is playing a central role in these commemorations. she grew up behind the iron curtain and was in berlin when the wall fell. they will be more celebrations later at that famous landmark, the brandenburg gate, a free concert with speeches and music long into the evening. todayis and music long into the evening. today is an interesting day for people here in germany. first of all because it is such a celebration but it is bittersweet, too. i have been speaking to a lady who lived not far from the wall and she talked about emotionally how her family were com pletely emotionally how her family were completely split when that wall went up. it is an emotional experience from which the family has never really recovered. she was crying when she told me this. it is difficult to explain the mix of emotions people feel here. interestingly, where we are standing now, the wall ran behind me. that patch of green in the middle, that

was called the death strip. in many parts of the city there were two wa rs parts of the city there were two wars that ran parallel. the no man's land was heavily guarded and how to cross, although a number of people managed to escape the oppressive socialist regime. this will divide the city for a quarter of a century. the fact it fell with no bloodshed is still considered remarkable to this day. we think these are some heads of state from the eastern bloc countries, or perhaps their cars. a lot of people are in town. including the us secretary of state who in a speech yesterday in berlin, castigated authoritarian countries like russia and china who today, he said, threatened the freedoms that we re said, threatened the freedoms that were so said, threatened the freedoms that were so hard won so many decades ago. thank you very much. it is 9:35am. time to talk sport. were you

not watching earlier? you are the spindlshank. you are a person with long and slender legs. we were talking about dialects. it is not a bad thing. and very long shins. those are the things that are spoken about off camera. i have said many times with john and maybe it was yesterday, i looked at the distance between your knee and your ankle, it is extraordinary. you marvel at my shins, i marvel at your socks, charlie. i willjust sit here. what a day it is going to be at wembley today. it is expected to sell out. you are

heading down later. yes, i am going to catch the train later on after this. i am looking forward to a fantastic game for a spectacular attendance. you know, a full sell out for a women's game is amazing. it is astonishing, thinking that wembley only opened in 2007, the first international match for women was played in 201a, and we urge you to see a sell—out crowd. a special moment, notjust for the to see a sell—out crowd. a special moment, not just for the players to see a sell—out crowd. a special moment, notjust for the players and the fans, but for former players because that is going to be recognition for the female players he did not have the contracts and earned the money during the time and they are playing the game and some of those players are going to be on the pitch at half—time and they will be recognition for what they did on the platform they set for others to follow yes, what is happening now for women's football, it has not happened overnight, but over a long period of time. the former lionesses

who not had recognition, this is their moment. hopefully today when we are all they are together, it would be good to catch up with old friends and even players i looked up to when i first started playing and to when i first started playing and to have that recognition out on the pitch in front of a sell—out crowd and hopefully with the lioness is winning against germany, that will bea winning against germany, that will be a perfect day. did you ever imagine that this moment would come? a national stadium, a sell out? to be honest, no. not in my lifetime. you always thought about it but to be sold out so soon after the success of the last couple of years, i think it shows how quickly we have moved forward in football in this country. what has been the catalyst, do you think? what has clicked? the world cup in the summer was massive but the platform the bbc particularly ha rd but the platform the bbc particularly hard with it being on lots of channels, it was like the

man's world cup when you could get any game at any time and people look forward to that. it does not matter who is playing, nigeria are playing jamaica, let's get that game on. you could do that for the women's game and that was massive going forward. you had all different genres are people talking about it, young boys to older men, two women. and i think thatis to older men, two women. and i think that is a real catalyst for this moving forward. as we look at those amazing scenes from the world cup, for people who have not followed for a long time the women's game, do a compare and contrast. the sport you love, you are playing at, but there is no one watching, the numbers are small, do a comparison from what you can remember from when small, do a comparison from what you can rememberfrom when it wasn't being followed to where out now. even though i was one of the lucky ones, i had an england contract but even ones, i had an england contract but even when i started, we had three men and a dog coming to watch us playing and that was difficult. it

was hard but the effort, the standard was still there and we worked really ha rd standard was still there and we worked really hard to pave the way for what the girls have now. you still work to your socks off even though there was nobody there watching because you had a commitment to your team—mates and he wa nted commitment to your team—mates and he wanted to excel personally. but now they have the recognition of thousands and thousands of people watching, not only at the game, but around the country they will be tuning in on the bbc tonight and that would be great. they will be desperate to excel. against germany, games against germany was exciting but it is a team that england have struggled against and never beaten on home soil. not on home soil. i have never beaten them when we played them, we always got beaten quite heavily? what makes them so good? they were always a different breed. they seemed to breed them differently. they were very strong, athletic. they were professional before we were. we did have that standard. but in the world cup where

we beat them in the bronze medal match, that was a turning point. going through a transition period. we have quite a young side. may be a good time to play them? it is a good time and we have something to prove. we haven't performed as well as we would have liked to since the world cup. when you are watching, are you all composed? cup. when you are watching, are you all composed ? where are cup. when you are watching, are you all composed? where are you on that scale as you are watching?m all composed? where are you on that scale as you are watching? if we are going from one to ten, i am probably an eight going to a nine.|j going from one to ten, i am probably an eight going to a nine. i really get into it. watch out in the lounge at wembley stadium. enjoy it. yes, enjoy. thank you forjoining us. great to speak to you this morning. and it's all building toward the euros in england in 2021. scotland made it two wins from two in qualfying beating albania 5-0. christie murray with a lovely goal that rounded off the win against the side bottom of the group. northern ireland were beaten 6—nil by norway. in the premier league — watford are off the bottom. they beat norwich who

replace them there. gerard deulofeu giving them the lead just a minute in — before substitute andre grey grabbed their second after the breakfor a 2—0 win — watford holding on despite having a man sent off. it's a huge day for the likes of non—league carshalton, ebbsfleet, chorley and billericay town hoping to cause an upset in the first round of the fa cup. but there was no joy for sixth tier dulwich hamlet last night. they were beaten a—1 by league two carlisle united. this strike from mikejones was the pick of the goals. now we've had some terrible weather this week, and football focus' mark clemmit can attest to that. here he is chatting to national leagu one side darlington manager alun armstrong. alun, when you were playing professionally and enjoying life, did you ever think you would end up in this situation? no, none whatsoever. it is not something that i really looked into, football management, in all honesty, it is just that i fell into it. and sometimes you find out you are not too bad at it. so it is something that

i thoroughly enjoy doing. it keeps you involved in the game. as i say, i am from the north—east and it is good to be managing this football club. don't you love... the manager seems unfazed by the weather. he just gets on with it. i think he was struggling when his ears gets cold, like i do. i think that was it. bring a hat. christmas is around the corner. and you can get all the build up to the first round with dan walker on football focus from five past 12 today — the programme live from maidernhead, who are hosting rotherham. great britain's lions have lost this morning's tour match against new zealand 23 points to 8 in christchurch.. it means they're still without a win so far. having narrowly lost last time out to the same opponents this was a bigger defeat. they ran in three tries to gb‘s one, having been desperate to take something from the match, they'll hope to salvage something in their final tour match against papua new guinea next weekend.

and there could be an interesting reception for saracens today as they play for the first time since being found guilty of breaching premiership rugby‘s salary cap. they're taking on gloucester away. just the one game in the premiership last night. sale beat wasps 28—18 thanks to the du preez brothers. dan scored sale's only try and his brother rob kicked five penalties. and in the pro 1a, edinburgh beat dragons 20—7 — blair kinghorn with the first of their two tries. so there we go. that is the lot for you this morning. thank you very much. long legs. where do you get your socks from, charlie? much. long legs. where do you get yoursocks from, charlie? do much. long legs. where do you get your socks from, charlie? do not try and deflect from the length of your leg. just the light bouncing off. we we re leg. just the light bouncing off. we were seeing those conditions for some of those football managers. how is it looking? if you are out

playing football this weekend, what does it look like? it is a real mix. rainfor does it look like? it is a real mix. rain for some but for others it is looking bright but rather chilly. i will get into some of the detail. we have to mention the flood warnings that are still in force across northern england and the midlands. a number of severe flood warnings, so if you are concerned about that. head to the bbc weather website. today, a mix of weather. fog and dents frost. heavy rain in the forecast. this is how it looked in wokingham earlier on this morning. dense patches of freezing fog here. this is the picture that shows where rain has been falling. northern ireland come into wales and south—western england. this is the kind of weather that is going to greet you through the west country today. wet weather indeed. some of these fog patches for the midlands down into east anglia and the south—east. rain across wales and

the midlands. across high ground, sleet mixing in. it could even be a covering of snow through today. lots of rainfor covering of snow through today. lots of rain for the eastern side of northern ireland. that could cause localised disruption. for the north—east and scotland, some of these could be wintry. many parts of scotla nd these could be wintry. many parts of scotland starting the date dry with sunny spells of sunshine. as we head through the day, this rain band pushing in from the west will make further progress eastwards. it does get stranded across parts of the midlands, central and southern england, where they could be enough rain to cause localised problems. damn through wales and north western england. snow across high ground. still wet for those eastern counties of northern ireland. it will be breezy here. best of the dry weather for eastern england, there will still be one or two showers. quite a lot going on. we stick with an u nsettled lot going on. we stick with an unsettled outlook for the southern half of the uk tonight. tending to pull away southwards. for northern

england, northern ireland and scotland, some showers with clear spells. because of those clear skies overhead, that is the coldest of the weather. minus four celsius in parts of scotland. a frosty night. into tomorrow, if you're up early in the south of england, cloud and showery rain. lingering in the channel islands for a time. it should clear away. remembrance sunday is not a bad day at all. long spells of sunshine. those showers are wintry over sunshine. those showers are wintry over hills in the north. my cloud into northern ireland late in the day. a top temperature of 11 celsius. unsettled as we head through the week ahead. a mixed bag of weather. rain for some of us, but not all of us. looks like there are some respite on sunday for remembrance sunday. absolutely. enjoy the rest of your weekend. the time is 9:36am.

they're one of africa's most endangered creatures, but hundreds of cheetah cubs are being illegally captured and sold as pets every year. many are smuggled to arabian countries, where the animals are considered a status symbol. so what is being done to tackle this growing problem? we're joined now by the conservationist giles clark. good morning. give us a sense of the scale of the problem. the scale is huge. as you mentioned, cheaters are afrika's most endangered big cats. we have less 7000 adult cheetahs left in world. they face many challenges that so much of our wildlife face. there is a demand to keep them as pets and these pets are being smuggled through the horn of africa, the gulf of aden into the arabian peninsula. we are notjust talking about a few, we have evidence to suggest somewhere between 200 and 300 cubs every single year are making their way and

being smuggled across. how do you tackle that route? there are authorities along the way which either don't have the inclination or resources to even either don't have the inclination or resources to even help. it is a vast challenge. where i have recently beenin challenge. where i have recently been in somaliland with the conservation fund, the somaliland authorities are one of the only authorities are one of the only authorities in the entire region that are actually making it hard to stand against the illegal wildlife trade. we need proper law enforcement, first and all, for checks. we also have to be dealing with not only the source from where these animals come from, often it is very, very pure regions in somalia, north kenya and ethiopia, but we need to be tackling the demand where these animals are destined for. they are ultimately ending up as novelties, trophy pets, for someone's vanity, for the vastly rich people that are in that part of

the world. tell us more about that. why? maybe you havejust the world. tell us more about that. why? maybe you have just answered that question, why would someone wa nt that question, why would someone want a cheetah cub or a pet? is it legal? are you allowed to have a cheetah as a pet? you have hit the nail on the head. and in a lot of these countries, it is not actually legal but the authorities will turn a blind eye to it because the parts of the community, the super wealthy, the super—rich, a very influential, it is driven to some degree partly because getting likes on social media. so having these animals pose with their fast cars, they are diamond studded collars, etc. as i said, whilst this happens, whilst there is continuously a demand and it is not being tackled, we are going to see the cheetah in this pa rt going to see the cheetah in this part of the horn of africa driven to extension. and then we see it. you

just marvel at these extraordinary pictures of the creatures who should be in the world. there is not a more beautiful, graceful cat, is there? it is so iconic. it is heartbreaking to see it for yourself. when i went to see it for yourself. when i went to what we call the cheetah safe house in somaliland, it is one thing to talk in numbers, we have a0 cubs at the moment, a0 cubs. that is only half of the ones that are being confiscated. unfortunately, the others do not make it, they come into sick, dehydrated, malnourished. those ones, those are the ones you have cut en route, are they? those are the ones the somaliland and authorities have confiscated en route, normally right at the ports right as they are about to cross the gulf of aden. when you see that yourself, it hits home. it is heartbreaking. explain these pictures here. is this in the pens

where they are being kept? yes. the cubs come in and they are usually very, very dehydrated, very malnourished. many, as i mentioned, do not survive. at the conservation fund we have set up this rescue house, if you like, where the cubs are given very intensive care to try and get them back up on their feet, get them to survive. and then back into the wild? no, that is the u nfortu nate into the wild? no, that is the unfortunate thing. because they come in and they are so dependent and they need such intensive care, they become too habituated and it is almost impossible to return them to the wild. that is where the tragedy is on two fronts. it is not only driving the species to become extinct, but at the same time, you know, look at those individuals, look at the condition of those particular cubs, those are the last one that came in two weeks ago. particular cubs, those are the last one that came in two weeks agom is heartbreaking. i have to ask you

because you are responsible for one of my most memorable moments on brea kfast sofa of my most memorable moments on breakfast sofa with the jaguar. a jaguar panther. when she came on, she was four months old. do you remember? you can neverforget. a beautiful black gorgeous girl. she crawled along here and sat on our laps. at that stage she was the sort of size. we would not be laps. at that stage she was the sort of size. we would not he sat here so co mforta ble of size. we would not he sat here so comfortable if she were with us now. she is doing very well. she lives at the big cat sanctuary in kent. she is 55 kilos, half as big again as a good sized labrador or a german settler. she has done incredibly well. two and a half years of age right now. give her a cuddle or a stroke, just a smile, perhaps. just a way for me. and from charlie, i suppose. thank you very much. thank you. good luck with the work with the cheetahs as well.

it's that time of the year again when we get to see celebrities doing something a little out of the ordinary to raise money for the bbc‘s children in need. this year, some of the biggest names of stage and screen have got together to record an album of their favourite songs. we'll find out more about it in just a moment, first let's take a listen. # don't you stop being a man. # don't you stop being a man. #just # don't you stop being a man. # just take a little look from outside when you can. # i've looked at clouds that way. # i've looked at clouds that way. # yourskin and # i've looked at clouds that way. # your skin and bones. # your skin and bones. # turn in to something beautiful. # turn in to something beautiful. # you know, you know i love you so. # you know, you know i love you so. # how can it be that we can see so

much without words? #it much without words? # it must be love, love, love. # it must be love, love, love. #it # it must be love, love, love. # it must be love, love, love. # nothing more, nothing less, love is the best. so the actor who you saw eight minutes ago took part, his wife polly is the executive producer. are you to holding hands? you see everything. what is lovely is because polly said this is her first interview and you just had your hand on her reassuringly. you are allowed to hold hands. on the side of the sofa. people can see what you have achieved. did you just put out some calls and thaw, how about you saying? the idea first came from sean recording a song for miss fitz six or seven years ago. we a lwa ys miss fitz six or seven years ago. we always said i bet every actor was

secretly like to be a pop star. we talked about it on and off and then about 18 months ago we thought, let's do this, let's go for it. you spoke to jody. jody whittaker. next album, i will get the otherjody. when he approached her,... ? i was filming doctor who with heart so i thought, let's go there first and find out if she says no, we will not go any further. so we went to her first and said, will you do this? she said, oh, my god, yes, iwould love to do it. can i sing yellow?|j we love to do it. can i sing yellow?” we going to hear her singing there? # you know, you know i love you so. # you know, you know i love you so. # you know i love you so. she is

thoroughly enjoying it. you are having an impact. that was quite personalfor her having an impact. that was quite personal for her because she dedicated the song to her three—year—old nephew who died a couple of years ago. there you can see her with her brother and sister—in—law. it was really, really moving. that is one of the reasons why she took part in it. she knows how important these charities are and how important it is to give back. the money is vital, the funds are vital, which is why we want to sell lots of records. i am assuming, tell me if i am wrong, most actors can sing because... ? we did not ask them. we knew three of them could. look evans, adrian lester. we knew we had three. we have never heard david tennant sing. we went more for people who had heart and soul and we re

people who had heart and soul and were decent people and we knew they would. did anyone say they cannot sing? everyone felt they could not sing? everyone felt they could not sing apart from those three. it was really, really nerve—racking for them. even though some of the top actors are amazing at what they do, it was out of their comfort zone and they were genuinely absolutely terrified, quite a few of them. we need to explain a special moment. you are in the studio doing your thing and then someone appears in, the gallery or the control room. have a look. you will see what happens. # one day is going to be... # one day is going to be... # 0h, darling, don't you ever grew up. we've got one note. can you do ita up. we've got one note. can you do it a little bit more american? it is

a bit yorkshire. are you kidding me? good to meet you. that is so lovely. did you recognise herfirst good to meet you. that is so lovely. did you recognise her first of all? yes, i have been obsessed with her for the last couple of years. i have been singing the song constantly so i have been listening to everything she has recorded to get to know her better. our kids are really obsessed with her. that is a seriously good to get to get involved at all.” sort of thought, she will probably say no but i'm going to ask and see what happens. and knew olivia had worked with her boyfriend so i said to olivia, would you put the word out? she texted him and he texted back with the manager e—mail address andi back with the manager e—mail address and i took it from there. it took a while back and forth to see if their schedule worked but it was amazing,
