6:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and chris mason. our headlines today: floods in northern england continue to pose a danger to life. hundreds of homes have been evacuated — water levels on some swollen rivers could rise further. there is a weekend of remembrance events — after a concert last night, the royal family and senior politicians prepare for the annual ceremony at the cenotaph in london. australian officials say bushfires that have already claimed three lives could spread to some of the country's most populated areas. get ready for the biggest game of the premier league season so far. it's leaders liverpool against champions manchester city, in a game that
6:01 am
could be critical in deciding who wins the title. after the rain and flooding of the last few days and even some snow for some of us yesterday, this remembrance sunday gives us a chance to draw a breath. mostly dry was sunshine, full details on the way. it's sunday the 10th of november. our top story. thousands of people are facing a third day of damaged homes, disrupted businesses and difficult travel as floods continue to affect parts of northern england. seven severe flood warnings are in place in the river don in yorkshire meaning there's a danger to life. this morning there's also concern water levels are rising on sections of the river trent. andy moore reports. the village of fish lake on the lower reaches of the river don were almost the entire community,
6:02 am
hundreds of people, have been forced to leave their homes. the water here is showing little signs of receding and the levels could remain high for some time to come. elsewhere, on other rivers such as the lower reaches of the trent in nottinghamshire, water levels are still rising. the only way in or out of fish lake was on a boat or on the back of a farm trailer. we did not expect it to be as deep as this. we have never seen anything like this before. i only moved in five weeks ago. for this woman, rescue could not come soon enough. i am waiting for a transplant. and this was the view from inside one of the flooded homes, wading through the cold and dirty floodwater. this is my kitchen. a brand—new kitchen. dirty floodwater. this is my kitchen. a brand-new kitchen. double
6:03 am
share in the town of matlock have also been hard by the floods. the woman who died after being swept away by the water new darley dale has been named as the former high sheriff, annie hall. she was described as a special person and an inspirational force described as a special person and an inspirationalforce for described as a special person and an inspirational force for good. described as a special person and an inspirationalforce for good. for some, the flood levels are falling and the cleanup can begin. for others, the misery is likely to continue for days to come. the royal family will lead the nation in remembrance sunday events with the traditional wreath—laying service at the cenotaph this morning. hundreds of armed forces personnel will also be present at the occasion, alongside prime minister boris johnson and labour leaderjeremy corbyn. our reporter sarah campbell is at the cenotaph ahead of today's commemoration. good morning to you. talk us through what we can expect. a different role for civilians this year. good morning to you. the final security sweeps are taking place, as you see
6:04 am
behind me, in readiness for the thousands of veterans who will march past the service personnel. and, of course, members of the public who will fill the space around the senate of ready for that two—minute silent. —— cenotaph. the service will be led by her majesty the queen and she will watch the service from the balcony of the foreign office and her reef will be laid on her behalf the prince of wales, prince charles. he will be joined at whitehall by other senior royals including princes william and harry. they were together last night at the annual festival of remembrance that is held at the royal albert hall. they were joined by the duchess of cambridge and the duchess of sussex, and the duchess of cornwall. she missed the last two in gauge means due to a chest infection but she was well enough to attend last night stop the royals will take their place today at 11 o'clock, joined by
6:05 am
the leaders of the main political parties and then afterwards there will be the march passed by 10,000 vetera ns will be the march passed by 10,000 veterans including the oldest among them, and he is 104 years old. this is the main national remembrance service a bit up and down the country at war memorials, people will gather together to observe that two—minute silence in honour of those whose live were irrevocably changed during conflict and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. thank you, sarah. ourapologies who gave the ultimate sacrifice. thank you, sarah. our apologies for the problems with the pictures there. labour has criticised conservative attempts to unpick their spending plans as the political parties continue their general election campaigns. the conservatives say labour's spending plans would cost the country an extra £1.2 trillion over the next five years. but labour has dismissed the figures as "fake news". our political correspondent helen catt is in our london studio to tell us more.
6:06 am
good morning. a lot of he said she said over the fiscal plans but the ma nifesto said over the fiscal plans but the manifesto has not even been released. this is a political document by the conservative party and what they have done is take all of the pledges that labour made in 2017 manifesto and tossed top up the cost and all of the pledges made sense. the problem is, as you have just said, is that at the moment labour like the other parties has not published their manifesto and has not decided what policies will go into it. that will not happen until next weekend. it is impossible to put an exact figure on it because we do not know what will be in it. there are also figures in these equations that have been questioned anyway. £196 billion for rena the things like railways, energy supply and water. that is based on a cbi estimate which itself has been questioned. so it is quite
6:07 am
questionable that 1.2 trillion figure. the underlying point, however, the labour wants to spend a lot more if it were to get into power, is true. john mcdonald in his speech earlier was talking about doubling investment spending to an extra £55 billion a year. so that is absolutely true. it is just what it feels like is perhaps an attempt by the conservatives here to frame this is not just ambitious the conservatives here to frame this is notjust ambitious spending but potentially unaffordable. commemorations have been taking place in germany to mark the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall. thousands of people gathered at the heart of the german capital to mark the historic day — with chancellor angela merkel leading the event. our correspondentjenny hill reports from berlin. this city set the world alight 30 years ago. last night berlin was still on fire. cheering the wall was loathed, feared, resisted. in the end,
6:08 am
it couldn't hold them back. cornelia was 11 when communist east germany came tumbling down. i remember also that when we could go to the west part, that...the smelling. i will never forget about the smelling in the shops because it was such an amazing smell i never had before. angela merkel, leading commemorations this weekend also grew up behind the iron curtain. it shaped her politics, her aversion to borders and walls. but even she admits divisions remain between the old east and west. translation: values upon which europe is founded, freedom, democracy, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, the preservation founded, freedom, democracy, of human rights — they absolutely cannot be taken for granted and must constantly be defended. for germany, this is a bittersweet day. a commemoration of hardship endured, a celebration of freedom won, but a chance too
6:09 am
to reflect on new divisions. but this weekend, berlin parties, to remember the day so many never dared to hope would come. jenny hill, bbc news, berlin. at least three people are dead and thousands have been displaced by a weekend of bushfires in australia. the prime minister scott morrison said the military could be called upon to support firefighters who are currently tackling more than 100 fires in queensland and new south wales. our correspondent phil mercer joins us from sydney. spanish voters are returning to the polls for the country's second general election injust over six months. the socialists, led by the acting prime minister, pedro sanchez won the most seats in the last ballot in april but were unable to form a government. spain has been struggling to put stable governments together since 2015. tens of thousands of well—wishers gathered in tokyo to congratulate japan's emperor naruhito on his enthronement. the emperor officially began his reign
6:10 am
in may after the abdication of his father. the ceremony was postponed so that the government could deal with the aftermath of recent typhoon hagibis. naruhito and empress masako greeted crowds waving japanese rising sun flags. it is ten past six. let's take a look at the front pages. the observer is looking at the scandal over boris johnson's friendship with technology entrepreneurjennifer arcuri. the picture showsjeremy corbyn on the campaign trail. the sunday times leads with the conservative party's claims about the cost of labour's policies. the photo shows prince harry and megan arriving for last night's festival of remembrance. actually, i don't think it does.
6:11 am
the sunday express front page focuses on brexit party leader nigel farage's "final ultimatum" to mrjohnson and the conservatives over an election pact. and that is definitely nigel farage there. and online, sydney's daily telegraph leads with the devastating bushfires continuing to spread through parts of new south wales. shall we take a look at a few of the inside pages? page 32 of the sunday express. a wonderful story here. four magnificent men in their flying machine. it is still a schlep, really, 100 years later, tojump on a plane and head to australia. imagine doing it 100 years ago. for young airmen blowing warm air into their cupped hands and stamping their cupped hands and stamping their feet against the bidder cold on him slow heath in west london
6:12 am
where heathrow airport is right now, as they were heading off to australia. it is one of those things 110w. australia. it is one of those things now. we take hopping on a plane for granted, many of us do. i want to show you this picture. animal lovers are giving their cats and dogs a holier than thou look with an internet craze, posting their pets wearing rock shoes in and marge to the pope's mitre. one of those things where it is possible. but not necessary. like many things on the internet! at least three people are dead and thousands have been displaced by a weekend of bushfires in australia. the prime minister scott morrison said the military could be called upon to support firefighters who are currently tackling more than 100 fires in queensland and new south wales. our correspondent phil mercer
6:13 am
joins us from sydney. hello to you. is there a real fear that this could get worse?|j hello to you. is there a real fear that this could get worse? i don't think it is over, this fire danger, by any stretch. it began on friday and this is day three of the bushfire crisis in eastern australia. it spans two states, new south wales the most populous in the country and further north in queensland, to more than 120 fires are burning across both states. conditions today, on sunday, have been kinder to the army of firefighters. it has been cooler and the wind has dropped down considerably. but the authorities say it is highly likely that they will be issuing potentially catastrophic fire danger warnings on tuesday for a vast stretch of the new south wales coast from south of syd ney new south wales coast from south of sydney all the way north to the queensland border as well as inland areas as well. on friday we had an unprecedented 17 emergency bushfire
6:14 am
alert and there are fears that tuesday could be even worse. the fallout from the fires over the last few days, as you say, at least three people have died and at least 150 homes have been destroyed. thank you, phil. we have been talking about the weather this week. is there any good news, ben? it depends what you call good news. it will stay chilly over the next few days and there is more rain in the forecast and perhaps a bit more this as well. not all of us got snow yesterday but some of us did. this is how it looked in some areas and there are still flood warnings in force as well and number of severe flood warning still on the river don. as you say, there has been much going on. but for day, remembrance sunday, we have a chance to take a breath. a quiet day with mostly dry
6:15 am
spells of sunshine. there is still some rain around and this is the radar picture for the last six hours. you can see wet weather heading across southern parts of the uk. still wintry across the highest hills. that wet weather should clear away south lead fairly quickly this morning and then for the majority looks dry with sunshine. there will be patches of clouded times for northern scotland down the east coast as well, producing the odd shower here and there. more cloud into northern ireland late in the david generally speaking compared what we have had recently it is not a bad day. if a rather chilly one. a cold start for many and into this afternoon, temperatures only reaching six or 11 degrees. into tonight, things will change, wet weather putting in from the western snow where the high ground in the north, above 250 metres across northern half of scotland. bible ten centimetres of snow. it will also turn very windy. those winds are pretty brisk by the end of the night, coming infrom pretty brisk by the end of the night, coming in from the north—west. temperatures on the
6:16 am
thermometer a little higher than they have been recently because of they have been recently because of the extra cloud in the outbreaks of rain buti the extra cloud in the outbreaks of rain but i think tomorrow morning with a strong north—westerly wind it will feel rather chilly full this frontal system responsible for the overnight rain and hills though, that will slide away but we are left with a brisk north—westerly wind. tomorrow essentially is a day of sunny spells and showers. some showers will be heavy, there could be thundery and will be wintry over who high ground in the north. there will be some bright and sunny spells in between but it will be windy out there as a consequence it is not going to feel very warm. temperatures reaching maybe five degrees in aberdeen. 11 the top in plymouth and the channel islands. looking at tuesday, more unsettled weather, more rain at times but not all the time. still the potential for something wintry over high ground. there will still be some spells of sunshine in between and a top temperature, again for most of us, in the single digits. as far as today, remembrance sunday acquired today, remembrance sunday acquired today with most of us seeing some
6:17 am
sunshine. thank you. the calm before the storm. wintry featuring there. it isa the storm. wintry featuring there. it is a seven —— 17 minutes past six. it sounds like an impossible task — to read all the dna of every single non—human living thing on earth. but that's what scientists around the world are trying to do over the next decade. it should help discover new medicines to fight disease and new crops to resist climate change. research charity the wellcome trust has confirmed it will provide almost £10 million of funding towards the uk part of the project, called tree of life. richard westcott reports. so now we are just taking a sample of water from the pond so we can see what living things are in there. even the most cutting—edge global science can start with a pond and a selvie stick. i am assuming that is teeming with life. i can't see anything in it. once we look under the microscope you will see. this is
6:18 am
a tiny part of what are the most ambitious scientific projects ever, to read the dna of all nonhuman life on earth. but every plant, animal, fund i, and single cell organism, including the ones in the pond where these guys work. it's really exciting. the last ten years or so a lot of techniques have been developed in biomedical sciences by doing single cell sequencing. so it has analysed the dna of cells from humans or modes and we are adapting those technologies. so there are things in here that don't have a name that are having their dna sequence. name that are having their dna sequence. it is entirely possible. by sequence. it is entirely possible. by studying dna from wild species they hope to find answers to global problems, like how to breed crops to withstand disease and climate change. nature also holds clues to new medicines for humans. so this is basically malaria, is it? and you we re basically malaria, is it? and you were saying one letter could be out here and that is why malaria would
6:19 am
kill someone. yes. so it is one letter in this sequence for this particular gene could make the difference between the parasite being resistant or susceptible to the drug. effectively the difference between life and death. over the next decade, ten uk partners will decipher the genetic code of 66,000 species. but of a global effort to sequence species. but of a global effort to sequence 1.5 million living things. with the result is free for all to use a. there is huge excitement, really, because this is classic discovery science and it is very reminiscent of the explorers such as darwin who went out and collected species to describe them and then that led to theories which transformed biology. who knows, even the contents of their pond could potentially lead to life changing discoveries. richard westcott, bbc news, norwich. blimey. i'm surprised it would only
6:20 am
ta ke blimey. i'm surprised it would only take ten years, something of that magnitude. now it's time for the film review with mark kermode and carrie gracie. hello. welcome to the film review on bbc news. and to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so, mark, what do we have this week? a very mixed bag. we have the good liar, which is a super—ripe drama starring helen mirren and ian mckellen. we have the irishman, martin scorsese, a netflix film that is playing in cinemas. and luce, a very intriguing psychological thriller. so, are we starting with the good liar? we're starting with the good liar. so, helen mirren and ian mckellen. they are silver surfers who meet online. in the very opening sequence, they are filling out the online dating forms and they are both fibbing about themselves. so the good liar sets itself up at the very beginning. we learn early on that
6:21 am
he is a con man. he meets helen mirren, she is looking for companionship. but gradually, a relationship forms between them. but her grandson does not trust ian mckellen — and, frankly, neither would i. here's a clip. chuckles. the size of your estate, there'd be a windfall every week! so, what would you...? mmm? steven? i thought you were in spandau. huh, did you? well, they let me out early. 0h, steven! why didn't you let me know you were back? you should've called! what have you got her doing? so he moves in here with his gammy leg and the first time i leave you alone with him, he's got you giving him all your money? no! here now. no, no, no. that's not what's going on here! that's jumping a few fences! listen, roy. do you know what? this isn't your house. steven. he's an intruder. can you see that? you're embarrassing me in front of mr halloran and roy, who i... don't, don't. don't touch me. 0h!
6:22 am
so this is adapted from a novel by nicholas searle and there is, at the beginning, we are being set up for a twist — which i have to say, if you didn't see it coming, then you really were asleep on thejob. there is then a second and third twist further down the line which made me go, "oh, for heaven's sake!" if you are to enjoy this, the best way to do it is to enjoy the sight of helen mirren and ian mckellen chewing the scenery for all they are worth. i mean, it is — it is preposterous tosh. 0h! that's strong language! but that does not mean that it is not without its enjoyable side. i know several people who have kind of enjoyed it for all its ridiculousness. apparently, the novel seems slightly less fanciful. it's kind of a weird cross between, like, miss marple sunday afternoon tv and something which is slightly more sweary than that. it makes no sense whatsoever. the pleasure in it is seeing two actors enjoying themselves — although, i have to say, i never believed that they were anything other than two actors enjoying themselves. you never actually believed in the characters, as they were. i mean, it's a really odd film. it falls between several stalls. it's directed by bill condon, who is a very good director,
6:23 am
and it has a very fine cast but it is absolutely ridiculous nonsense. is that an opportunity missed? i mean, the world is full nowadays of con men, you know, trying to wrangle people out of their savings. but here's the thing — at the beginning, the premise which is set up is the good liar — who is the good liar? and that's a nice little idea and, you know, obviously, one expects there to be twists and turns in the narrative, which it does exactly what you expect. but then, it goes into the realms of the utterly ridiculous. but, you know, there's a certain pleasure in seeing very, very fine actors having fun. it doesn't make any sense. 0k. any sense! let's move on to your... no sense! i think we got that message! let's move on to your second film — does this make sense? — another film with fine actors, the irishman. yeah, i thought this did a lot more than i expected. so this is martin scorsese, joe pesci, robert de niro, al pacino, so big stars.
6:24 am
robert de niro kind of back working with scorsese and making the kind of movie they made when they were making goodfellas and casino. it's made for netflix, but it has got a brief theatrical window — i think it's 21 days. and it's the story of frank sheeran. it goes over six decades. al pacino plastimmy hoffa, the union leader. joe pesci is playing very, very underplayed. stephen graham is playing the kind of character thatjoe pesci would've played in a previous incarnation. the thing there's been a lot of talk is that the film uses digital de—ageing technology, because we see the characters go from the 1940s through to... and there's lots of question about, you know, is it distracting? i have to say, i didn't think it was. the only distracting thing is occasionally, their bodies move like old men, although their faces look young. oh, weird! yeah. but in a 3.5—hour movie, for that to only be occasionally distracting is actually pretty good. and the fact of the matter is it's a very interesting story, it's well told, there's real film—making brio, it has a terrific soundtrack, there are, you know, the performances are all solidly good and it does — i mean, it takes full advantage of the fact that it's a netflix film, therefore its 3.5 hours long, which is the probably thing that will make a lot of people think "you know what? i will stay in and watch this at home."
6:25 am
but i watched it in the cinema and the 3.5 hours pretty much flew by, with the exception of the last act, which did feel like "oh, ok, you're making this for a home audience". but i thought it was — i was — pretty entertaining and the digital de—ageing bothered me much less than i expected. and frankly, if they could digitally de—age me in that way, i would be very happy. i don't like the idea of that, though. it's well done. it's well — it's just make—up. it's digital make—up. that's all it is. it's like, you know, performance capture. it's just digital costumes. digital de—ageing is just digital make—up — if you use it properly. it's gonna do a whole profession out of a job! well, it — i mean, you still need to use ordinary make—up, as well. there are older periods in which they do do the standard ageing thing. but i think it is, you know, it's the future. but you just have to be careful that the technology — it's not the tail wagging the dog. fairenough! now, we need to move on to the third one, luce. yes. so this is based on a stage play byjc lee. naomi watts and tim roth are a liberal white american couple who adopted a child who had grown up in war—torn eritrea. now he is a model student, he is fantastic at sports, he is fantastic at debating,
6:26 am
but one of his teachers has started to have worries about him. is something up with him, or does she have a hidden agenda? here's a clip. like, what are the criteria for evaluating what is a valuation of privacy? is privacy a civil right? i think so. maybe the law isn't so sure. if i went through your desk without your knowing, would you feel like your privacy was violated? yes, i would. so? feelings aren't a legal argument. in the newjersey case, the teacher assumed the girl was guilty, because of her feelings. that's called reasonable suspicion. it's all the police need to search your car. so it's about what's reasonable? that's what courts are for. really, it's just about people though, right? whether they conform to what we think they are? it's not that simple. nothing ever is.
6:27 am
now that's kind of the nub of it. and what you see from that is, you know, what i was saying about the first film, there are twists, but you can see them coming a million miles away? the great thing about this, it is based on a stage play and it does feel a little bit stage—y. but all the way through, you are kept guessing as to what is actually going on. does it tell you at the end? i don't... it is, in my opinion, impressively unresolved. yes, things do get solved up to a certain amount, but it is a film of great ambiguity. there's a terrific soundtrack by geoff barrow and ben salisbury, whose soundtrack all the way through is telling you this is awkward, this is off—kilter, there are strange things at work here. and what i really liked about it is it's actually very hard to sustain a movie in which, right up until the very end, you are questioning people's motives, you're questioning people's characters. but also, you also start to realise that the film isn't going to tie itself neatly up. it is going to leave questions unresolved. i thought it was very, very well played. i think it's a great performance by kelvin harrisonjr. octavia spencer is
6:28 am
absolutely terrific. it is a very sort of satirical take on the middle class couple and their presumptions about things, and one of the things that... kinda of the white saviour stuff? yeah, but one of the things that it does also is it wrong—foots the audience. it plays to the audience's expectations and then it wrong—foots them — or does it? all the way through this, i kept thinking, because i saw it immediately after watching the good liar, "this has the sense of ambiguity, the sense of uncertainty that the film before didn't have". i don't think it's gonna have a huge cinema audience, but i think it was really well worth seeing. my only reservation — it is based on a stage play and it is quite stage—y. but actually, i thought the story was really well told. great, ok. you've got 30 seconds for best out? best out is monos which is this extraordinary film which, on the one hand is a story about child soldiers, but is so much more than that. it is a modern—day lord of the flies. and extraordinary soundtrack
6:29 am
by mica levi, which is one of the weirdest soundtracks i've heard all year, and a brilliant ensemble performance by a cast, some of whom are very well known, some of whom are completely unknown, but all of whom mesh together brilliantly. brilliant, disturbing, overwhelming, wonderful. wow! that sounds incredible! now, then — and very quickly — best dvd? yesterday. so the story is everyone has forgotten the beatles, except for our central character. and, you know, what would it be like if you woke up and you were the only person who remembered heyjude? i think it's really fun. i'm a sucker for richard curtis scripts anyways. i think it's really well played. i mean, i — it's one of those things that you either love it or you go, "oh, for heaven's sake! this is — this doesn't make any..." but i really, really enjoyed it. i laughed, cried — and i've watched it twice and the second time around, it was just as powerful. i — i thought it was... i'm a sucker for really well—done sentimentality and this was like a great pop song — you can listen to it over and over again. thank you, mark. i've gotta see that. still haven't seen it yet and you've made me want to watch it. that's it for this week, though. thanks for watching us. goodbye.
6:30 am
hello, this is breakfast with chris mason and nina warhurst. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. officials are warning that more floods will strike later today — this time along the river trent in newark, in nottinghamshire. seven severe flood warnings remain in place for parts of the river don near doncaster — meaning there's a threat to life. many people are still unable to return to their homes and travel
6:31 am
disruption is affecting roads and railways in the midlands and yorkshire. the royal family will lead the nation in remembrance sunday events with the traditional wreath—laying service at the cenotaph this morning. hundreds of armed forces personnel will also be present at the occasion, alongside prime minister boris johnson and labour leaderjeremy corbyn. a two—minute silence will be held across the country at 11am. prince charles will lay a wreath during the service on behalf of the queen, who will watch from a balcony. labour has criticised conservative attempts to unpick their spending plans as the political parties continue their general election campaigns. the conservatives say labour's spending plans would cost the country an extra 1.2 trillion pounds over the next five years. but labour has dismissed the figures as "fake news", calling them an "incompetent mish—mash of debunked estimates and bad maths". commemorations have been taking place in germany to mark the 30th anniversary since the fall of the berlin wall. thousands of people gathered at the heart of the german capital to mark the historic day — with chancellor angela merkel
6:32 am
leading the event. at least three people are dead and thousands have been displaced by a weekend of bushfires in australia. the prime minister scott morrison said the military could be called upon to support firefighters who are currently tackling more than 100 fires in queensland and new south wales. tens of thousands of well—wishers gathered in tokyo to congratulate japan's emperor naruhito on his enthronement. the emperor officially began his reign in may after the abdication of his father. the ceremony was postponed so that the government could deal with the aftermath of the recent typhoon. naruhito and empress masako greeted crowds waving japanese rising sun flags. what a ceremony. when joined now for the sport. there is a massive premier league match today.
6:33 am
so exciting, just two sides left when it came down to one point last season. only one place to start full up season. only one place to start full up liverpool against manchester city. their first meeting of the season is at anfield this afternoon and the result could be indicative as to where this season's title goes. city won the premier league byjust one point last season and were the only team to beat liverpool in the competition. this time though city are already six points behind jurgen klopp's undefeated side, and their boss pep guardiola knows they're in a battle to retain their title. probably right now is the strongest tea m probably right now is the strongest team in the world and in a way, playing and field, what does it mean for them and for old rivals but it is 90, 94 minute for them and for old rivals but it is 90,94 minute and we are going to try to follow the plan we thought of for this game. we have to play our best game. everyone in the stadium has to be an
6:34 am
absolutely top shape. guys who sell the hotdogs have to be in top shape. so everybody has to be, from the first second. early in the stadium, nothing to do outside, warmup, be there, all that stuff. could there be another contender for the title? leicester moved up to second in the premier league with an impresive 2—0 home win over arsenal. jamie vardy‘s eleventh goal of the season put the in—form side on their way. and james maddison secured the victory as he added a second. that's a fourth consecutive league win for leicester. chelsea are up to third after their sixth successive victory. tammy abraham and christian pulisic with the goals in a 2—0 win over crystal palace. tottenham's disappointing run of form continues. they were held to a 1—all draw at home to sheffield united. david baldock with this fortuitous equaliser for the visitors. but they could have
6:35 am
had all three points. when they were behind sheffield united had a goal ruled out by var because this wasjudged to be offside. just look at the margin. ifjohn lundstram's boots were one size smaller he might have got away with it. there were also wins for everton, newcastle and burnley. there was a record attendance at wembley stadium last night for an england women's game, with more than 77,000 watching the lionesses. but it wasn't the result they wanted to see in the friendly against germany, as jo currie reports. these fans braved the damp and drizzly conditions, hoping to witness a piece of history as the lionesses walked out of wembley for only the second time. a sold—out game and an expectant crowd. however, an early goal from the german captain threatened to dampen spirits. since the world cup semifinals, england have suffered from a hangover. paris could not
6:36 am
find this tonic from the spot. on the big stage, england needed a big player. step up ellen white. back from injury and back on the scoresheet. the world cup ‘s joint top scorer picking up where she left off. a cheer from top scorer picking up where she left off. a cheerfrom more than top scorer picking up where she left off. a cheer from more than 77,000 fans, a new record for an england women's football game in this country. but with the draw on the horizon, germany scored a late winner, leaving england crushed and with only one win out of seven. off the pitch, this match delivered with over 77,000 fans braving the weather to come and watch england play. but it was another lacking performance from the english team and questions will be asked about the direction of the team moving forward. will be asked about the direction of the team moving forwardlj will be asked about the direction of the team moving forward. i have been in football long enough that as a manager you have to take the responsibility. i do take that responsibility. i do take that responsibility. it is a lot to do with me and we just have to make sure that i improve as a manager and the players will improve as well.
6:37 am
and they will need to improve quickly as england play the czech republic on tuesday, their final chance to see out the year on a high. the top two in scotland are in action this afternoon. celtic host motherwell and rangers are away at livingston. both are four points clear of third placed aberdeen who beat ross county. edinburgh's two managerless clubs had big wins yesterday. hibs went to stjohnstone and won 4—1 — thanks to a hat—trick from christian doidge. it was just their second league victory of the season. and heart's second win of the season as well — beating st mirren 5—2. elsewhere, kilmarnock and hamilton accies drew. there was a flashback to the summer, as england's cricketers needed a super over to beat new zealand in their fifth and final t20 international. they were tied after 11 overs each in auckland — the match shortened because of the weather. so — just like the world cup final between the same two sides — they went to the super over. england batted first and scored 17, they then restricted new zealand to just 8 runs from their over.
6:38 am
a much more comforable margin than at lord's. it means england win the series 3—2. saracens played their first game since being provisionally docked 35 points and handed a five million pound fine for breaching the premiership salary cap. they were greeted with some boos by the crowd at gloucester and a few cries of ‘cheat‘. but it didn't seem to affect them, nick tompkins ran in the first of their two tries as they won 21—12. there's already been medals for british athletes at the world para—athletics championships in dubai this morning — hannah cockcroft taking gold in the t34100m and kare adenegan taking silver too. last night, britain's olivia breen won bronze in the t38 long jump. the 23—year—old from wales, who won the title in london two years ago, recorded a bestjump of four point 93 metres. that put her 38 centimetres behind newly crowned champion luca ekler
6:39 am
of hungary, who set a new championship record. it's been described as the biggest internet event in history. the re—match between youtubers logan paul and ks! has just finished in los angeles. you might not have heard of them but they have 40 million subscribers between them, and they also have a long running this was their first fight as professionals, having drawn their amateur bout in manchester last year. and it was ksi, who's from watford, who just edged it over the american logan paul in a split decision. so 40 million subscribers on youtube, not bad. and then, as you we re youtube, not bad. and then, as you were saying, there is a feud in the mix and maybe you have 50 million, you know, within a 24—hour period. i'm sure they have not thought of that, chris! maybe it's more the money they think of. i'm going to

6:42 am
community to look after one another? absolutely. myself and a good friend we re absolutely. myself and a good friend were driving around on friday night knocking on people's doors and letting them know how quick it was coming down. and what are you doing to stay warm. what about food? we are seeing food being delivered. how are seeing food being delivered. how are you coping? we are ok now. the local surrounding villages have banned together and we have blankets and food supplies delivered. the local fish and food supplies delivered. the localfish shop and food supplies delivered. the local fish shop and indian restau ra nt local fish shop and indian restaurant have supplied food and a local bloke has brought in his range rover, obviously getting wet, but doing well. that shows that even in a disastrous time it brings out the best in people supporting one another. absolutely. we wish you all the best. stay warm and fed and hopefully life will return to normal

6:44 am
aircrew and i served in the cyprus evacuation through the falklands, lebanon, sierra leone, bosnia and afghanistan. so a long service history. and you joined up before 16? tell me about the falklands. that was a different war. certainly the last war that we served as a uniformed company, if you like. but we had a lot of action down there. it was challenging. you will almost shot down, won't you? we were returning from mount kent and we got attacked by four a4 fighters which shot at us as we took a cannon shell through one of the blades but we managed to land, change the blade and then carried on. how important is it for you today to take part in the service? very important. we lost
6:45 am
two of our squadron crewmen on the way down to the falklands and in the falklands we also lost another guy, colin, he was on the back. and over the years i have had about 12—14 fellow aviators killed in various conflict and accidents and for me to come here and remember them is very important. the british legion is trying to urge young people tomorrow, especially, to stay off the smart phones. do you think it is important to?|j to stay off the smart phones. do you think it is important to? i think with modern complex the younger generation are aware of that. they should stay off their phones, i think. thank you very much. the queen and other members of the royal family, the prime minister, ambassadors and high commissioners from around the world will be here. this is the focus of attention.
6:46 am

6:47 am
have had outbreaks of rain, even winteriness mixing and over high ground in wales. data damp weather starting to pull away southwards now. it will continue to do so and, for most of us, it will turn into a fine day. long sunny spells to be had. there will be patches of cloud putting into northern and eastern coastal areas at times. maybe the odd shower. the showers wintering over high ground in scotland. and also some extra cloud getting into northern ireland late in the day. winds picking up here as well. generally speaking, without sunshine, it will not feel too bad. temperatures between six and 11 degrees. it is another rather chilly day. as we go through this evening and night things change once again because we see this band of rain putting and across northern ireland then spread into scotland over high ground here, say above 200 metres could see some snow. in the highest ground we're likely to see ten centimetres of snow lying by tomorrow morning. maybe some snow mixing in across the high ground of the pennines. rain further south. for all of us, as the rainband sweeps through, it will turn really
6:48 am
windy, brisk north—westerly west lee nguyen is developing. with the extra cloud on the strength of the wind, it will not be as cold as recent notes. most of us holding up between four and notes. most of us holding up between fourand nine notes. most of us holding up between four and nine degrees. as we start monday morning we have this frontal system to contend with. it will be pushing away eastwards. follow the isobars, a strong north—westerly wind across the uk. that wind will blow quite a few showers in our direction. some of those showers will be heavy. there could be sam hailand will be heavy. there could be sam hail and thunder mixed in, some sleet and snow over higher ground in the north. between the showers there will always be spells of sunshine. in your afternoon temperatures for monday, five degrees in aberdeen, maybe ten in cardiff. as we look deep into the coming week, it stays u nsettled deep into the coming week, it stays unsettled and it stays rather chilly. single digit temperatures for the most part. some rain at times. but not all the time. some spells of sunshine. today, remembrance sunday, it is looking like a pretty quiet day. that is the main thing. dry and bright over

6:50 am
this weekend marks the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall, back in november 1989. poland was the first eastern block country to turn its back on communism, earlier that year. but those iconic images of the wall coming down here in berlin really did confirm that the cold war in europe was coming to an end. on the evening of november 9, 1989, the whole world watched the destruction of the berlin wall. a structure that divided notjust the city, but families, nations, and superpowers.
6:51 am
stretching over 80 miles, the wall was built to divide the communist east and the capitalist west. today, only small sections of it still remained, and crossing it is no trouble at all. many cultural and political factors contributed to the destruction of the wall, but if captured the mood of the time as much as music. in the west, megastars like david bowie and bruce springsteen both played protest gigs by the partition. but in the east, under the watchful eye of the secret police, an underground scene was forming. it was angry, it was an anarchic, and it was a breakaway from control. it was punk music.
6:52 am
6:53 am
6:54 am
6:55 am
when you think about those times, those difficult times during the gdr, where you were intimidated, by the stasi and the problems that you had amongst the people in the streets, would you do it again? absolutely. punk was the soundtrack to an era of mounting defiance against the gdr, an era that culminated with the destruction of the wall. now, 30 years on, this underground history is finally surfacing. in the aptly named punk bar, the church from underground, a band is rehearsing for 0st art, a two day festival taking place this
6:56 am
weekend designed to pay tribute to the subculture that provided a lifeline for so many. 0st art is a festival in berlin in honour of the anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall. a good chance to get the younger people in touch with the history in the end. it's not like i have to do read some books or whatever, you can feel it. for me, the real punks were in the gdr, not in the west, because they really had to deal with repression, police, and it was really a big thing to do this. the stakes were much higher for the punks in the gdr. yeah. today has been really surprising. it makes me think of what it must
6:57 am
have been like in this city on the night that the berlin wall came down, the energy that must have crackled through it, and how much of that energy was driven by punk music. but what else is also a call is the fact that the next generation here are putting on events like the 0st art festival, which is helping to keep the memory alive of that counterculture, the counterculture of punk music that had to fight so hard just to exist. this weekend, there are dozens of anniversary events taking place all over berlin, but if you are planning a trip later than that, don't worry, because there is still plenty of things to see and do. at the new timeride berlin,
6:58 am
you have a chance to go through the re—created city. following a walk though exhibition, you can board a bus all the way back to the 1980s, taking in gdr landmarks like checkpoint charlie, and the old parliament, the palace of the republic. or you can explore some of the incredible tunnels helped over 300 east berliners escape under the wall. the berliner unterwelt museum helps two hosts exhibited to us, but being underground, the accessibility is limited. november also sees the planned completion of the berlin handshake project, a collection of almost 11,000 clay moulds, one for each day since the wall came down. the berlin handshake project is shown at the documentation centre at the bernauer strasse. it's bringing two people together and asking them to shake hands, and in this handshake
6:59 am
we put a ball of clay. your other hand, you can also squeeze. this is a beautiful handshake. look at that. wow. out of 11,000 of these handshakes we build a wall of unification. we have the prototype here, and in the future there will also be something outside that you can see. sadly, that's your lot for this week. don't forget, you can follow us on social media, to keep up with us on all our adventures. but until next time, from me and all the travel show team here in berlin, it's auf wiedersehen.
7:00 am
7:01 am
could rise further. a weekend of remembrance events — after a concert last night, the royal family and senior politicians prepare for the annual ceremony at the cenotaph in london. this is the scene there right now. australian officials say bushfires that have already claimed three lives could spread to some of the country's most populated areas. get ready for the biggest game of the premier league season so far. it's leaders liverpool against champions manchester city, in a game that could be critical in deciding who wins the title. after the rain and flooding of the last few days and even some snow for some of us yesterday, this remembrance sunday gives us a chance to draw breath. a mostly dry day was sunshine. with sunshine, full details on the way. it's sunday the 10th of november.
7:02 am
our top story. thousands of people are facing a third day of damaged homes, disrupted businesses and difficult travel as floods continue to affect parts of england. seven severe flood warnings are in place on the river don in yorkshire meaning there's a danger to life. there's also concern that water levels are rising on sections of the river trent near newark. andy moore reports. the village of fishlake on the lower reaches of the river don where almost the entire community, hundreds of people, have been forced to leave their homes. the water here is showing little signs of receding and the levels could remain high for some time to come. elsewhere, on other rivers such as the lower reaches of the trent in nottinghamshire, water levels are still rising. the only way in or out of fishlake was on a boat or on the back of a farm trailer. we did not expect it to be as deep as this. we have never seen anything like this before. i only moved in five weeks ago.
7:03 am
for this woman, rescue could not come soon enough. i am waiting for a transplant. and this was the view from inside one of the flooded homes, wading through the cold and dirty floodwater. this is my kitchen. a brand—new kitchen. derbyshire and the town of matlock have also been hard by the floods. the woman who died after being swept away by the water near darley dale has been named as the former high sheriff, annie hall. she was described as a special person and an inspirational force for good. for some, the flood levels are falling and the cleanup can begin. for others, the misery is likely to continue for days to come. we're live now in stainforth showing you the extent of some
7:04 am
of the flooding there. some of the water is subsiding but obviously hugely problematic for people there. we spoke to a pub owner earlier who said she had to open up her home to neighbours, half a dozen people camping in her house and relying on people delivering food and blankets. just the extant —— expanse of the water. and the statistics are incredible. 84 millimetres of rain in 36 hours in sheffield. in context, that is the average monthly rainfall. all of that in just average monthly rainfall. all of that injust a average monthly rainfall. all of that in just a day and a half. we will keep you posted throughout the programme and be live back there a little later. four minutes past seven. the royal family will lead the nation in remembrance sunday events with the traditional wreath—laying service at the cenotaph this morning. hundreds of armed forces personnel will also be present at the occasion, alongside
7:05 am
prime minister boris johnson and labour leaderjeremy corbyn. our reporter sarah campbell is at the cenotaph ahead of today's commemoration. good morning to you. can you talk through what to expect? good morning. the final security sweeps arejust taking morning. the final security sweeps are just taking place morning. the final security sweeps arejust taking place now in readiness for the thousands of people who will be here today. there will be the veterans, members of the armed forces, serving personnel and members of the public who will fill this space along whitehall and around the cenotaph afterwards. the service of remembrance will be led by her majesty the queen as has happened over the last two years, prince charles, the prince of wales, will lay her reef on her behalf and she will watch from the foreign office balcony. prince charles will bejoined on whitehall office balcony. prince charles will be joined on whitehall by his children, prince harry and prince william and all of them along with other senior royals were at the
7:06 am
service of the festival of remembrance last night at the royal albert hall. they were joined by their wives meghan and catherine and their wives meghan and catherine and the duchess of cornwall who has missed a few events with a chest infection but she was well enough to attend last night. after the two minutes silence there will be a march past the cenotaph and around 10,000 veterans, the oldest of them a world war ii veteran who is 104 yea rs old a world war ii veteran who is 104 years old and representing the charity blind veterans uk. this is the main national service but 11 o'clock up and down the country those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice will be remembered. thank you, sarah. so many extraordinary salaries. —— so —— so many extraordinary stories. labour has criticised conservative attempts to unpick their spending plans as the political parties continue their general election campaigns. the conservatives say labour's spending plans would cost the country an extra 1.2 trillion pounds over the next five years. but labour has dismissed
7:07 am
the figures as "fake news". our political correspondent helen catt is in our london studio to tell us more. across all the newspapers this morning, helen, conservatives were criticising these fiscal plans. who is right? what i can do is tell you how the conservatives have come up with this figure. this is a political document, not treasury figures. what they have done is take all of labour‘s commitments in their 2017 manifesto, put a figure on those of around £600 million and then take the pledges they have made sense and put a figure on those, around £600 billion. the two together come up with the big headline number. there are a few issues with this. the first being that labour is yet to publisher ma nifesto that labour is yet to publisher manifesto and has not decided which policies will go into it. that will happen next weekend. so to put a specific figure on it is difficult. and some of the estimates based on have been questions, such as the
7:08 am
figures for renationalisation. the underlying point, the labour wants to spend more money is true. they have been upfront about that this week with the shadow chancellor saying they wanted to wk investment spending to an extra £55 billion a year. so it seems that labour is pitching its spending plans as ambitious because conservatives would like to portray them as unaffordable. we have not heard the last of that. eight minutes past seven now. at least three people are dead and thousands have been displaced by a weekend of bushfires in australia. the prime minister scott morrison said the military could be called upon to support firefighters who are currently tackling more than 100 fires in queensland and new south wales. our correspondent phil mercer joins us from sydney. great to see you. there is concern that this could get worse. on tuesdayit that this could get worse. on tuesday it is expected that sydney, greater sydney, the biggest city in the country could, for the first time, have a catastrophic fire
7:09 am
warning. now the authority say it is likely that from sydney, further south of here and all the way north to the queensland border, that would be about a nine or ten hour drive, that vast stretch of coastline could be subject to extreme warnings as well. as well as inland areas, affected as well on tuesday. on wednesday, authorities in the neighbouring state of queensland have preparing for potentially catastrophic conditions there as well. this all began on friday here in new south wales we had 17 emergency bushfire alerts, that was the highest number ever. so quite clearly this is fire emergency in eastern australia is unprecedented, spanning two states and as you say, at least three people have died. we are also getting word that three firefighters have been injured and that underscores the danger faced by legions of often volunteer
7:10 am
firefighters who are confronting these enormous claims on the ground. they are supported by water bombing aircraft the next few days would be very dangerous indeed. thank you, phil, reporting from sydney. it's been an unpredictable start to the general election — but as we enter the second week of campaigning there's still plenty of time for parties to get their messages across to voters. we're joined now by conservative nigel evans, labour's lisa nandy and liberal democrat antoinette sandbach, to help unpick what's been going on this week. good morning to you all. where shall we start? i suppose. the premise of the election was brexit than election campaigns and are being about a lot of things. what are your reflections on the first week of knocking on doors and starting the conversation? very positive response. i think the liberal democrats have had a good launch to
7:11 am
the election campaign and very clear messaging that the remaining bonus of staying in the eu will be invested in public services and a clear launch around our environmental policies. 80% of our generation to be renewables and investing in energy efficiency for fuel for homes. and what about the balance between people talking to you about brexit and talking about all the other stuff. all of the issues that do float around in a campaign. the weather has come up the most on the doorstep this week. soaking wet for five days. in many ways it does sort of help a bit because i think people are frustrated at the moment, frustrated with politics in general and they are frustrated about brexit for all sorts of reasons on both sides of the debate falls and when they see a very wet candidate standing in the door they do tend to show a bit more
7:12 am
sympathy for what i have been lost much surprised about what is striking is how much people want to talk about other issues. the biggest things that come up where i have been doorknocking in two very different constituencies, my own and another, are the nhs, transport which in the north is in chaos for a long time. high—streets and people feeling angry about the things that they have lost the last few years. there is a growing sense in the north that the decision—makers are far too remote and unaccountable and those making them are not interested in our lives. this could be a surprising election. and in 2017, theresa may gambled on a being a brexit election and events took over full the comments this week? lisa andi full the comments this week? lisa and i were sitting there and going 32 days to go. i was delivering
7:13 am
leaflets yesterday in one of the villages and after 20 minutes i couldn't feel my fingers. lancashire isa couldn't feel my fingers. lancashire is a firm leave area. is that what people are talking about? someone turned up at my house yesterday morning and said i want to talk about brexit and i said why haven't we left. he said i cannot vote for jeremy corbyn but i am really unhappy that we have not yet left. i had to basically explain in find the niceties of what is going on. and if you have to go into that much detail there is an issue. so are you worried the conservatives will be punished? there will be some people out there looking at it and everyone talks about the by—election effect which was what happened during the by—election when brexit came in and took a few thousand of the conservative votes. if you added them together you would have had a leave mp instead of someone else
7:14 am
coming forward. and they ended up with the remaining mp. what we need to do, and i think this electorate is savvy. people think they cannot really work out how to make a vote important. the lib dems have done it for ever, tactical voting. and i think people will sit down, irrespective of whether they are say, right if brexit is important, why haven't we left? i know which candidate to vote for now. we haven't left is because people like nigel voted against the deal on a numberof nigel voted against the deal on a number of occasions. one. one. let's talk about one of the big themes of this week which is the business about candidate selection. both those who are running for the first time and others who have been in politics for a long time. this difficult conundrum about at what point someone having said something either now or in the past disqualifies them entirely from having a political career. particularly if they are apologising
7:15 am
as the conservative candidate in norfolk had said some stuff about rape which he acknowledged was horrible it was many years ago. he was selected and then dropped. social media has changed everything. when i started in politics in 1987, that was my first general election, we did not have this stuff then. now it is what you said, how long ago you said it and so one depends on the other. and as you quite rightly say, one candidate had to drop out because people said it was only five yea rs because people said it was only five years ago. worse than that, what has shocked me about this election has been the numberof women about this election has been the number of women who have stood down from parliament. we have got very experienced, very good female mps who have decided not to stand because of the kind of abuse that they are getting on social media. and i think that is completely unacceptable. you know, we need a really wide and varied representation in politics.|j
7:16 am
really wide and varied representation in politics. i think the public feel that as well. i've picked it up on the doorstep yesterday. a woman said a read what they said about you, don't let it stop you. i think it is starting to bother the public. people won't put themselves forward for public office or stay on because of what they are having to deal with on a daily basis. then we all lose out. we lose the talent in politics. there is no guarantee. it could be even worse. we could be going into another hung parliament. i think you have to accept that the last parliament was elected by the british public and it reflected the opinion in the country. and that will happen again. that is not necessarily a bad thing. i've been arguing for some time that there should be a confirmatory referendum, because my view is that parliament reflects views of people
7:17 am
that are elected by their constituents to be there and, for me, the way to unblock what is happening in parliament is to go back and have that confirmatory referendum or, ideally, ideally, jo swinson as prime minister. would you have 16 and 17 —year—olds voting sweeting in—out referendum? have 16 and 17 —year—olds voting sweeting in-out referendum? that has not been the case so far. we would have a ridge referendum on a rigged chance and that the problem... crosstalk. my mother is an eu national who has lived in this country for over 52 years. you would have you... i would. that is part of the problems ofi would. that is part of the problems of i think where the mistrust comes, when i'm knocking on doors people are saying, hang on, at the last election by the labour party and the tories that they would deliver brexit and it hasn't happened. what is going to happen? the sense of
7:18 am
goal posts moving. they have moved to another stadium. people watching the snow would think the same thing. we are in the middle of a general election talk about another referendum talking about who can vote in another context. the sense i'm getting is that people want us to work together to sort it out. i wa nt to work together to sort it out. i want this parliament to deliver a majority labour government. if this election ends up delivering a hung parliament the key thing actually is that we need to compromise, need to work together, listen to each other, listen to that overwhelming sense of frustration at the country and we need to make some decisions in the collective interest. a final thought on fluidity in politics. there was an announcement a few weeks ago about how many people change their vote between 2015 and 2017. you have all been in politics for a reasonable amount of time up what kind of sense of fluidity are you picking up for people who are no longer, say, committed to party excel party way because they have always voted that way? a sense use fluidity in politics at the moment. i think party allegiance is really
7:19 am
breaking down. there were some people who tribally always voted for a particular party and a sense that that has completely changed and people are shifting their view, very often in relation to how they voted, in accordance with the referendum. antoinette is one of those people. she fought as a tory, this is a live. strikes me as odd as when you say to people on the doorstep how did you vote at the last election but only two years ago, and they say are can't remember. for us we are diehards. although antoinette is an exception here. i have voted tory ever since i was 18, so i have never change may vote ever. but people out there look at it different. at the margins, as you know, 650 seats, this whole election will be decided by probably 100 of them, which are the marginal seat throughout the whole of the uk. that is not a good argument. they are the same
7:20 am
marginals as they were before. there isa marginals as they were before. there is a lot of focus on town constituencies where people feel a very, very disenchanted with the political settlement. it is one of the reasons why a agree with antoinette. there is no part of the country now where anyone can take votes for gra nted. country now where anyone can take votes for granted. from my point of view that is actually a good thing. it means people are listening, they are engaged, and they want to know what you are going to do for them. we should stop attacking each other, in my view, and start talking about the very positive offer, i believe my party has or prison. that is what people want to hear from us and that is how we will get people to turn up on the 12th of december and vote.|j think nigel made an important point, 100 seats might make a difference. there is a real argument for form on how we, not having this constituencies, we are electing people on constituency boundaries that were set yonks ago. and i think we need to look at how we reform our electoral system so that we get a better, more representative
7:21 am
parliament through proportional representation. we have just got to get the deal we brexit first. all of us would agree. it is cold and we talked about the weather and we have come across elderly people as well and it is getting dark at 4:30. please go on websites or talk to somebody about getting a postal vote ora somebody about getting a postal vote or a proxy vote if you think you are not going to be there on the day. it is important. there is plenty of time to do it. each of us, when it comes to the deadline, we will knock on doors and somebody, an hour after the deadline has closer a proxy vote and you will say why didn't you get one? now is the time to do it stop what you said 32 days to go. 32. manifesto launches yet to come. is just going to be a helter—skelter of a general election, i think. just going to be a helter—skelter of a general election, ithink. —— it is going. everybody says it has only beena week?! is going. everybody says it has only been a week?! get your thermals and your vitamins been a week?! get your thermals and yourvitamins in. it been a week?! get your thermals and your vitamins in. it will be a long 32 days. it is the psychology of it.
7:22 am
you get to three weeks out and you think it is imminent and two weeks out it is miles away. it is like christmas. christmas is coming and we will have christmas before we know where we are. and it will be before that. a lot of mps newly elected christmas shopping frantically on december 11. elected christmas shopping frantically on december“. for elected christmas shopping frantically on december 11. for the first time ever i will have and in print on my christmas card from ageing, just in case. thank you all very much. think about that. important issues. the weather. how is it looking this morning? thank you very much. it is actually looking a lot of drier, a lot brighter, a lot quieter than it has been this week. i know it is early in the morning but some of our weather watchers are already out and about in lincolnshire and also in hertfordshire. it is a start to the day for many. and through the day, remembrance sunday, of course, it was a predominantly dry with some spells of sunshine. there is still
7:23 am
some of yesterday's rain to get rid of this morning. you can see it on our earlier radar picture. damp weather through the midlands and wales. winteriness over higher ground. showery ran increasingly in the far south of england. it will then clear away. further north under clear skies it has been a cold night and they could potentially be icy stretches across parts of northern ireland. take it easy on the roads. as we go through the day we lose the last of that showery ran from the south. is looking dry. long spells of sunshine. some patches of cloud are likely to affect northern and eastern coastal areas that time. maybe with the odd shower. showers likely to be wintry of a high ground in scotland because temperatures are still on the low side. five ninths degrees for most, maybe 10—11 in the far south of england. as we go through the evening into night, initially it will be dry for most of us. more rain stepping into northern ireland. is that gets into scotland over high ground, above 200— 250 metres, there is likely to be a covering of snow. no mixing in over the high ground of the pennines as
7:24 am
well. lastly rain further south. increasingly blustery. those are the kind of wind gusts you can expect. 40-50 kind of wind gusts you can expect. 40—50 mph. even more in exposed places the first part of tomorrow morning. it will not be as cold as recent notes because of that extra breeze and some areas of cloud as well. into tomorrow this frontal system pushing eastwards, taking the persistent rain and hill snow away with it, but behind it we get into this risk north—westerly wind and thatis this risk north—westerly wind and that is going to bring us a mixture of sunny spells and showers. some of the showers will be heavy, could be thundery, could be hail thrown in for good measure and equally sleet and snow over high ground in the north. there will always be some drier, write glimpses between those showers. temperature wise, on the thermometer looking at 7— 13 degrees. there will be a risk north—westerly wind. it may feel colder than that. talking of gold, it says gradually as we look through the week ahead. temperatures for most of us stuck in single digits. there will be some outbreaks of rain
7:25 am
at times, but not all the time. and certainly today, remembrance sunday, it will be a mostly dry day was spells of sunshine. that is all from me for now. chris and nina, back to you. rain but not all the time. not differentiating it from last week. thank you. people are being urged to put down their smartphone today to take part in the traditional two minute silence to pay respect to those who lost their lives because of war. the royal british legion's "pause to remember" campaign hopes that by turning off technology, more young people especially, will engage with memorial events. breakfast‘s graham satchell is at horse guards parade this morning. a very good morning to you. everybody leaving aside technology just for a few minutes. everybody leaving aside technology just for a few minuteslj everybody leaving aside technology just for a few minutes. i think that is right. the royal british legion a particularly urging younger people to try to do that both today and tomorrow, which is remembrance day itself. young people are addicted to their phones, aren't they? two minutes they think is worth the
7:26 am
reflection. we are at st james ‘s park. we have a couple of gas taking pa rt park. we have a couple of gas taking part in the services today. robert, paul, and rebecca. good morning to you. robert, able to some service history first if that is ok? are joined in 1993, served 22 years, came out medically almost five years ago. you were shot and injured, were you? i ago. you were shot and injured, were you ? i was ago. you were shot and injured, were you? i was shot in the upper right arm in afghanistan in 2007. and they came home, was rehabilitated, supported by health heroes and other charities that were supporting at the time and they managed to get out for the final six weeks of the same to back onto the front line. back into my section and my platoon. paul, you are also in afghanistan, is that right? yes. it is the first
7:27 am
time you are marching past the cenotaph today, why is it important to you? it is a duty to remember everybody who has paid the ultimate sacrifice, but also for those suffering alone and at home and potentially struggling. it is a duty and honour to remember what people have given. lost personal friends? yes. people like steven dunn, the families and loved ones you can feel personally and it hits you hard. just a duty to remember them, really. robert was talking about help for heroes and the hold that is available to ex— servicemen, it was available to ex— servicemen, it was a physical help that you were given. the mental health was there as well to get you through those bad times. really put you in the right place. that is vital, isn't it, the people who come out of the range of services available? 10096. a dark and lonely place when you leave the forces. it doesn't matter why you are leaving or when, it is a dark
7:28 am
and lonely road. the help is there. the campaign was to help people know there is help and support and to reach out and get it because there isa reach out and get it because there is a world of support for them. thank you very much. we have rebecca resplendent in this outfit. what is the somewhat you do? this is ceremonial dress for the winter. our greatcoat in busby. which are used in the day for different things. the busby would be used to feed the horses. you are a gun and you sit on the back of the old—fashioned carriage on ceremonial events.|j the back of the old—fashioned carriage on ceremonial events. i am there will driver. by the brakes of there will driver. by the brakes of the gun. rebecca, you will all be taking part today, and absolutely vital day for almost 10,000 ex— service men and women who will be marching past the cenotaph, one of many ceremonies taking place today across the country.
7:29 am
thank you. graham satchell in central london. what a fascinating range of stories and then the outfits and the reflections people have of their relatives. it isjust wonderful hearing is very personal stories. it is coming up to 7:30. the andrew marr show is on bbc one at nine o'clock this morning — and andrew can tell us who's he interviewing today. morning. remembrance sunday i am talking to general sir nick carter, chief of the defence staff about the russian threat and much else. also the election campaign. they have the chance of the exchequer, sajid javid, talking about all sorts of issues, including labour's spending, iam sure. issues, including labour's spending, i am sure. lambo —— labour i have andrew gwynne, is in charge of the campaign. they have caroline lucas who is the sole green mp at the moment. she hopes not to be alone after the election campaign. of course. and they have the great actress meera syal talking about race and drama. very busy. and
7:30 am
especially extended programme at nine o'clock. thank you, andrew. a busy five weeks. all of the newspapers this morning talking about how the conservatives are being critical of labour's spending pledges that came last week. and labour has said you have done your maths wrong. there will be tit—for—tat. maths wrong. there will be tit-for-tat. they will talk about everything labour has ever said about spending. if you are watching on bbc one we will be saying goodbye to you. let us tempt you to flip over to the bbc news channel. we'll be talking about my‘s performance on strictly. one of the news papers this morning described his facial expression looking as though he was in his driving test. oh dear. it is brutal. we'll keep you up—to—date on the floods in south yorkshire and also in newark in nottinghamshire and ian mcmillan reviewing the newspapers for us this morning as
7:31 am
well. we will look at the front pages as well as what is inside the papers. that is coming up on the news channel. this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one finau. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with chris mason and nina warhurst. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc
7:32 am
news. officials are warning that more floods will strike later today — this time along the river trent in newark, in nottinghamshire. seven severe flood warnings remain in place for parts of the river don near doncaster — meaning there's a threat to life. many people are still unable to return to their homes and travel disruption is affecting roads and railways in the midlands and yorkshire. the royal family will lead the nation in remembrance sunday events with the traditional wreath—laying service at the cenotaph this morning. hundreds of armed forces personnel will also be present at the occasion, alongside prime minister boris johnson and labour leaderjeremy corbyn. a two—minute silence will be held across the country at 11am. prince charles will lay a wreath during the service on behalf of the queen, who will watch from a balcony. labour has criticised conservative attempts to unpick their spending plans as the political parties continue their general election campaigns. the conservatives say labour's spending plans would cost the country an extra 1.2 trillion pounds over the next five years.
7:33 am
but labour has dismissed the figures as "fake news", calling them an "incompetent mish—mash of debunked estimates and bad maths". thousands of people have been displaced by a weekend of bushfires in australia and there's a warning things could become worse. three people are known to be dead. the prime minister scott morrison said the military could be called upon to support firefighters who are currently tackling more than 100 fires in queensland and new south wales. commemorations have been taking place in germany to mark the 30th anniversary since the fall of the berlin wall. thousands of people gathered at the heart of the german capital to mark the historic day — with chancellor angela merkel leading the event. tens of thousands of well—wishers gathered in tokyo to congratulate japan's emperor naruhito on his enthronement. the emperor officially began his reign in may after the abdication of his father. the ceremony was postponed
7:34 am
so that the government could deal with the aftermath of the recent typhoon. dancers, musicians and well—wishers all marked the occasion. that is really quite something. speaking of dancing about, you won't be, will you jane? liverpool and city will, however. what a tenuous link. dear me. iam impartial. i shan't be. but i will share for the magnitude of the game. cheer for the magnitude. hotly anticipated this game. just one place to start, liverpool against manchester city. their first meeting of the season is at anfield this afternoon and the result could be indicative as to where this season's title city won the premier league byjust one point last season and were the only team to beat liverpool in the competition.
7:35 am
this time though city are already six points behind jurgen klopp's undefeated side, and their boss pep guardiola knows they're in a battle to retain their title. probably right now is the strongest team in the world and in a way, playing and field, what does it mean for them and for old rivals but it is 90, 94 minute and we are going to try to follow the plan we thought of for this game. we have to play our best game. everyone in the stadium has to be an absolutely top shape. guys who sell the hotdogs have to be in top shape. so everybody has to be, from the first second. early in the stadium, nothing to do outside, warmup, be there, all that stuff.
7:36 am
could there be another contender for the title? leicester moved up to second in the premier league with an impresive 2—0 home win over arsenal. jamie vardy‘s eleventh goal of the season put the in—form side on their way. and james maddison secured the victory as he added a second. that's a fourth consecutive league win for leicester. tottenham's disappointing run of form continues. they were held to a 1—1 draw at home to sheffield united. david baldock with this fortuitous equaliser for the visitors. but they could have had all three points. when they were behind sheffield united had a goal ruled out by var because this wasjudged to be offside. just look at the margin. ifjohn lundstram's boots were one size smaller he might have got away with it. there were also wins for chelsea, everton, newcastle and burnley. there was a record attendance at wembley stadium last night for an england women's
7:37 am
game, with more that 77 —— than 77,000 watching on. and they saw the lionesses go behind early on, before ellen white got an equaliserjust before half time on her return from injury. but a late goal from the germans condemned england to a fifth defeat in their last seven matches. the top two in scotland are in action this afternoon. celtic host motherwell and rangers are away at livingston. both are four points clear of third placed aberdeen who beat ross county. edinburgh's two managerless clubs had big wins yesterday. hibs went to stjohnstone and won 4—1 — thanks to a hat—trick from christian doidge. and heart's got their second win of the season by beating st mirren. elsewhere, kilmarnock and hamilton accies drew. there was a flashback to the summer, as england's cricketers needed a super over to beat new zealand in their fifth and final t20 international. they were tied after 11 overs each in auckland —
7:38 am
the match shortened because of the weather. so — just like the world cup final between the same two sides — they went to a super over. england batted first and scored 17, they then restricted new zealand to just 8 runs from their over. a much more comforable margin than at lord's. it means england win the series 3—2. saracens played their first game since being provisionally docked 35 points and handed a five million pound fine for breaching the premiership salary cap. they were greeted with some boos by the crowd at gloucester and a few cries of ‘cheat‘. but it didn't seem to affect them, nick tompkins ran in the first of their two tries as they won 21—12. there have been medals already for british athletes at the world para—athletics championships in dubai this morning — hannah cockcroft taking gold in the t34100m and kare adenegan taking silver too. last night, britain's olivia breen took bronze in the t38 long jump. the 23—year—old from wales, who won the title in london two
7:39 am
years ago, recorded a personal best. luca ekler of hungary won gold with a new championship record. it's been described as the biggest internet event in history. the re—match between youtubers logan paul and ks! has just finished in los angeles. you might not have heard of them but they have 40 million subscribers between them, and they also have a long running feud. this was their first fight as professionals, having drawn their amateur bout in manchester last year. and it was ksi, who's from watford just edged it over the american logan paul in a split decision. five live's boxing pundit steve bunce was watching in la. hejoins us on he joins us on the hejoins us on the phone. thank he joins us on the phone. thank you for speaking to us. firstly, why so much interest in this boxing match between two relatively amateur
7:40 am
boxers? quite simple, they are not amateur boxers they are two men having a six round professional contest having trained 12 weeks with no previous experience. they put their heart and soul into it and it is simple weight is popular, they have 40 million youtube followers between them. they put something up on youtube, two minutes of one of them cutting someone else's hair and 11 million people will watch it. so they are machines and they both have teams. i have discovered a lot during my week here. is not itjust ksr it is ksr and his men. and there are thousands of them. it is not just his 20 million, they also have a combined total of 20 odd million. and it is the same with logan paul. he has his team. notjust 40 million audience, it's 50 or 60 million
7:41 am
subscribers following these two teams, these boxes. they will set records here. this is not me over hyping it, these two novices today, raw novices in front of 19,000 people at the staples centre in downtown los angeles, will reach global records for the amount of pay—per—view across different territories. it is staggering. i must tell you, it is hard to explain. you obviously have a lot of enthusiasm for this. purist may turn up enthusiasm for this. purist may turn up their nose but is this the future of boxing? especially bringing young people back to watch it? of boxing? especially bringing young people back to watch it7m of boxing? especially bringing young people back to watch it? if these huge tubers who want to box in the future if there are any music stars who wish to box in the future, providing they are relatively young, thatis providing they are relatively young, that is under 26, 27, and providing they are fit then they can apply for a professional boxing licence and they will probably get one. once
7:42 am
they will probably get one. once they apply they can train so, yes. after the success of this, notjust the money, not just after the success of this, notjust the money, notjust about the money after the success of the event, the buffering of the egos and i am telling you, after what i saw here today and that dozens of youtube as i spoke to this week, i expect this will happen for a long time. you mention about cynical business. this has been my business for years, i wrote the manual about being a cynical boxing hack. but they worked ha rd cynical boxing hack. but they worked hard full of course it is crazy. but it happened. i witnessed it! you have certainly sold it to us. thank you forjoining us. if you are not wide—awake before that call, we all are now. he is terrific. an interesting development. nice to chat to you. i'm still not sure what
7:43 am
the stars do but we will find out. despite steve's enthusiasm. 18 minutes before eight. anyway, nearly a quarter to eight. time to have a look at the papers. his voice is like a musical instrument, steve. itry his voice is like a musical instrument, steve. i try to stay on like him. i sound like a bass saxophone that needs tuning. my first story is from the mail on sunday and i was thinking about the time when as a person who likes words, sometimes words are not available to do the heavy lifting. and the terrible floods that have happened, language fails when you use words like devastating and awful. then you turn to a picture like that one, an amazing photograph
7:44 am
of the town near doncaster. ordinary lines —— lives are happening and then this devastating thing happens and words... well, words cannot manage thejob. and words... well, words cannot manage the job. but then what hardens me a little bit is that within the tragedy, there are tiny stories happening of small heroism is an big heroism is. my wife and i went to the village next to us to do some shopping on friday and you saw people gathering around with sandbags out and you could see them talking to each other and that is where it begins. that is where healing starts. people asking did you see what happened there and gradually and slowly, story start to happen and that is how you start to amend things. probably through language. and that is a passion of yours. definitely. talking. we had to take a detour. so why was late getting my
7:45 am
porkpie. was tragic. mine was ok, the porkpie i got... i like to have them naked, as we say. do you, a naked porkpie? those remarkable commemorations yesterday for the 30th anniversary for the fall of the berlin wall. another event a bit lengthy floods in a way. where things, enormous things happen, enormous wheels turning history and you have to remember the stories that were there. and it is kind of beginning to fade a little bit. are you remembering it vividly. for young people it is a piece of history. what wanted to think about, someone once sent me a piece history. what wanted to think about, someone once sent me a piece of the berlin wall in a jiffy bag. they have kept it in my sock bad for yea rs have kept it in my sock bad for years and years. my wife said it might not be a piece of the berlin wall, it might just might not be a piece of the berlin wall, it mightjust be a wall. it could be. it holds status for me. they believe it is a piece of the
7:46 am
berlin wall, it doesn't matter.|j remember getting the little... i remember getting the little... i remember thing a monumental moment in history and isjust remember thing a monumental moment in history and is just sensing remember thing a monumental moment in history and isjust sensing how big it was. you might have a piece of dust. -- moon dust, it reminds you of how big the moon landings were. a quick dash to the sunday express. a football team's original ground which is a spot where the people go to buy a bag of nails. sheffield fc, the first ever football clu b sheffield fc, the first ever football club in 1857 and their ground now a diy store on it. they say the diy store should celebrated by having a signup. i think they should have some sort of pro— celebrity football match up and down the aisle. that would be great. that would really get it in. people kinda forget that sheffield fc was the first ever football team. but then i think they are the first ever football tea m think they are the first ever football team who did they play? bags of sand, rabbatts? it says that because they were the first one the
7:47 am
married man of the city would play against the single men. married versus single. that makes sense. all married men at this moment are on their way to a diy store. you are backin their way to a diy store. you are back in one hour with more stories. thank you. i'm glad you got your book by despite the weather. the naked porkpie —— porkpie. here's ben rich with a look at this morning's weather. thank you. good morning to you. we have had a lot going on with the weather. the flooding was mentioned in the paper review. a significant story across parts of the uk. there are some flood warnings in force. things are looking much quieter. a sample of the weather what your pictures we're starting to see already this morning. it is a decent —looking day. it will be mostly dry with some spells of sunshine, which is good news if you're heading out to any remembrance sunday commemorations. this is the radar picture. it shows up things have shaped up so far today. you can see we have had rain through the early hours across parts of the midlands, wales, that is now drifting
7:48 am
southwards. further north and has been a cold night under clear skies. and after yesterday ‘s wet weather there are likely to be icy stretches on some untreated roads in northern ireland. as we go through the day we lose the last of the south. we will see one or two patches of cloud and the odd shower getting into parts of northern scotland on the eastern coast of england from time to time and some cloud into northern ireland later on. essentially a fine day. blue skies overhead for much of the time. temperature is no great shakes. 5— 11 degrees. winds will be relatively light. it may not feel too bad out there. as we go through this evening here comes a change. a band of rain pushing across northern ireland as they consider scotland over high ground, say above 200 and metres you could get a covering of snow. some snow mixing in the high ground. it will be rain further south. as the rain sweeps its way through the winds will be picking up. strong and gusty winds by the end of the night. could see 14—15
7:49 am
mph in the first part of tomorrow morning. with the cloud, the breeze, the rain, it will not be as cold as it has been on recent notes. into tomorrow, the frontal system. that will be bringing the persistent rain. it will be clearing eastwards on monday morning. what we are then left with is a strong north—westerly wind feeding plenty of showers in our direction. some of the showers will be heavy. some will be thundery. there could be hail thrown in and the showers will be wintry over high ground in the north. between those downpours there will a lwa ys between those downpours there will always be some spells of sunshine during tomorrow. temperatures, on the face of it not too bad. 7— 11 degrees. there will be that bristol north—westerly wind. it may feel actually really quite to out there. a quick look at the rest of the week stop and stay is rather chilly. temperatures in single digits for the most. some outbreaks of rain at times. but not all the time. as far as goes, remembrance sunday, it is fine with spells of sunshine. back to you. thank you. i think...
7:50 am
laughter. a lot of weather about. now it's time for click with spencer kelly. any second... in towns and cities across the uk, a tech revolution is slowly being born, one antenna at a time. bit by bit, 5g is becoming a thing, and while all the infrastructure might look a bit dull, take a look at this. this is a speed test to this phone, which right now is getting data to speeds of 390mbps. not bad!
7:51 am
yeah, this new network is going to be so fast that we'll be able to download in a heartbeat and stream video to multiple devices at once. in order to allow this to properly take off with high speed and minimal delay, we're going to see lots of new antennas, each serving small areas, and some of them may use much higher frequency radio waves than previous mobile networks. but having these antennas everywhere has given some people pause for thought. they believe that 5g radio waves can cause health problems and they're campaigning for the rollout to be halted. now, this protest group is small but vocal, and it does seem to be growing, so paul carter went to brighton to meet some of the anti—5g movement.
7:52 am
chanting: prove that it's safe! hove, near brighton. chanting: say no to 5g! say no to 5g! it may not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking of the front line of protest... chanting: prove that it's safe! ..but campaigners here are making theirfeelings known about plans to introduce 5g masts in the area. chanting: what do we want? a ban! when do we want it? now! the world health organisation, public health england, and the nhs all say there is no sufficient evidence to say 5g poses a risk to health. however, that has done little to placate campaigners. earlier this year, one parliamentary petition calling for more research into 5g attracted more than 29,000 signatures. so what are their concerns? public health england and the government say that 5g and electromagnetic frequencies are safe because they all fall underneath the level of the international safety guidelines. however, there are huge issues with the safety guidelines. there's a great big
7:53 am
gaping black hole. what the safety guidelines will tell you is whether your mast will burn or heat you, but what it won't tell you is all of these health effects that are known by science to be linked to electromagnetic frequency radiation. who decides who is guinea pigs? who is deciding to, you know, to roll this out, and test it on who? who are going to be the lab rats, the lab mice, whatever you want to call us, because it's not safety tested? if someone said to me, fact, 56 is safe. if our government came to me and said, fact, 56 is safe. fact, it's been tested by the telecoms industry, i probably wouldn't have the concerns that i have. but to me, there's no
7:54 am
fact there from them. the industry, however, have a very different view. campaigners will say 5g hasn't been tested, and if it's not been tested, it shouldn't be rolled out. what do you say to that? i hear that line a lot and it fundamentally misunderstands what 5g is. 5g uses technologies that have been in use in all countries for decades now. the type of frequencies that are used, the radio waves that they are using, they're the same ballpark of radio waves that have been used and tested, tested and tested, for decades. the technology that goes into the antennas doesn't fundamentally change the way that those radio waves behave. so while it looks and feels like a brand—new technology from a marketing perspective, its roots are actually, you know, inherent mobile radio technology that's been tested and used for decades now. what is happening here is very similar to the smoking. the actual health effects, the actual science, were hidden. and this is exactly
7:55 am
what is happening here. 56 is highly, highly unlikely to cause more cancers than 2—4g, and there isn't much evidence of an increased risk for 2—46 — if any. it is not the new tobacco. it is not the new asbestos. that just simply isn't true. but despite the weight of scientific evidence, the anti—56 movement is growing. similar groups have been popping up in other areas around the world, fuelled by social media and the internet. back in hove, the campaigners had the opportunity to present their concerns to counsellors. exposure to 56 radiation will be 24/7, 365 days a year, without our informed consent. nationally, public health england provide the expert advice on public health matters associated with radiofrequency electromagnetic fields or radio waves used in telecommunications. the implementation and regulation of 56 technology is a national responsibility.
7:56 am
chanting: save our children! is there anything from this point that they could say that will convince you this is safe? yeah, they could put their case. but the independent scientists and the actual science needs to be properly heard as well. ultimately, is this a battle you can actually win? there will always be a small number of individuals who do not want to hear from large corporations like us. and there will always be a huge group of people who don't have any concerns about this technology. there might be a group in the middle who could be swayed, and i think that's the group that where, yeah, there is a battle to be won, if you like, we do need to make sure those people have access to the right information, but they can make an informed decision and not be misled by what is some pretty aggressive scaremongering. that was howard jones talking to paul carter.
7:57 am
and to try and address the concerns of those who may still be undecided, we have come to this rooftop in london to take some measurements from a 56 transmitter. and we have drafted in some independent experts to help. dr richard findlay is an electromagnetic field safety specialist, and he's going to be measuring the strength and frequency of the radio waves at different distances from the mast. so, first, we're going to put the probe right up on the middle of the transmitter. yes. 0k. let's go. the middle, coming down... and your maximum reading was...? 550. 551.6%. so basically, if you were to strap yourself to that transmitter, three metres up there, you'd be getting five times the guidelines.
7:58 am
yes, you'd be overexposed. ok, but nobody‘s going to do that. no. ok, so shall we go over there? what would you say, two or three metres in that direction, and see how the signal drops off? yep. there we go. oh, wow! 14.5. so even over the last distance, we've gone from — we've gone down by a factor of, what is that? that's more than 50 times? yeah, 550 down to 14.5, so... ok, down to less than a fifth of the government safety guidelines. yes. right, time to try and make sense of those readings with physicist and cancer researcher david grimes. so, we have seen there that the power drops off really, really quickly as you move away from the transmitter.
7:59 am
absolutely, and that is what you would expect. as you get further and further away from a source of light, which, of course, radiofrequency really is — even if we can't see it — the drop—off is really, really rapid. and by the time you are even at an appreciable distance away from any kind of transmitter, it is way more likely that your phone itself is going to be emitting a lot more than any of these transmitters are. do you think one of the worries about 56 is that there is talk of using higher frequency radio waves? i think — absolutely. i think people have an intuitive understanding that higher frequency is higher energy. but i think what people need to be aware of is that this kind of radiation is still very, very non—ionising. what that means is it doesn't have the fundamental energy to liberate an electron and cause damage. if you want to cause, say, cancers and things like that, you typically need to cause that kind of dna damage. and the new 56 spectrum is very low energy. it is much lower energy than, say, visible light. but more than that, the biophysics itself, the mechanics of how you might develop a cancer or something, we know that this kind of radiation is not ionising.
8:00 am
it cannot cause the level of dna damage that you typically expect or need to cause a cancer. and so, for that reason, the combination of epidemiological evidence and biophysical evidence, we don't have any current cause for concern. that being said, it is always good to observe and keep an eye on trends to see what might emerge, but we don't expect anything will. so there you go, some real science which i hope has helped you to understand how safe 56 signals are. and just for extra information, we're now taking a reading at head level here on the roof, right next to the 56 transmitter. and the number is kind of bouncing around the 2% mark. so even if you were walking on a rooftop next to a 56 transmitter, as we are, you are still 50 times below the recommended safety level. that's it, though, for the shortcut of click this week. the full—length version is up on iplayer right now, and don't forget, we live on social media — on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter, @bbcclick. thanks for watching,
8:01 am
8:02 am
this is the scene there this morning. crowds there this morning. have begun to arrive. floods in northern england continue to pose a danger to life. hundreds of homes have been evacuated. this morning there's a warning water levels on some swollen rivers could rise further. australian officials say bushfires that have already claimed three lives and could spread to some of the country's most populated areas. get ready for the biggest match of the premier league season so far. it's leaders liverpool against defending champions manchester city, in a game that could be critical in deciding who wins the title. after the rain and flooding of the last few days and even some snow for some of us yesterday, this remembrance sunday gives chance to draw breath. a mostly dry day with some sunshine. full details on the way.
8:03 am
good morning to you, it is just after 8am. it's sunday the 10th of november. our top story: the royalfamily will lead the nation in remembrance sunday events with the traditional wreath—laying service at the cenotaph this morning. hundreds of armed forces personnel will also be present at the occasion, alongside prime minister boris johnson and labour leaderjeremy corbyn. our reporter sarah campbell is at the cenotaph ahead of today's commemoration. a look ahead to what we can expect. the final preparations are under way now here on whitehall for thousands of people that will be down here, the veterans, the members of the service personnel at the moment and members of the public, this whole space around the cenotaph will be filled as people observe the two—minute silence at 11am. the seventh of remembrance will be led by her majesty the queen, she will watch from the foreign office balcony and it will be prince charles, the prince of wales, who will lay the wreath on her behalf on the steps of the cenotaph. he will
8:04 am
bejoined on whitehall the steps of the cenotaph. he will be joined on whitehall by senior roles, including prince william and prince harry. they will —— they were all together last night for the annual festival of remembrance in the royal albert hall, they were joined by catherine and meghan, and the duchess of, here such a mistake above recent engagements due to a chest infection but she was well enough to be at the festival last night —— make the duchess of cornwall. they will take their places before 11am. this is a day of pause for politics and campaigning to be set aside, the leaders of the main political parties will also be laying a wreaths. there will be a much parts of around 10,000 veterans after the two—minute silence. at war memorials up and down the country, the two—minute silence will be honoured and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, those who lives we re ultimate sacrifice, those who lives were changed in conflict will be remembered and will be honoured.
8:05 am
thank you, sarah. sarah campbell reporting from the cenotaph. there will be full coverage starting from 1030 am on bbc one. thousands of people are facing a third day of damaged homes, disrupted businesses and difficult travel as floods continue to affect parts of england. seven severe flood warnings are in place on the river don in yorkshire meaning there's a danger to life. there's also concern that water levels are rising on sections of the river trent near newark. andy moore reports. the village of fishlake on the lower reaches of the river don where almost the entire community, that's hundreds of people, have been forced to leave their homes. the waters here are showing little signs of receding and the levels could remain high for some time to come. elsewhere, on other rivers like as the lower reaches of the trent in nottinghamshire, water levels are still rising. the only way in or out of fishlake was by boat or on the back of a farm trailer. we're all right to get rescued, but we didn't expect it
8:06 am
to be as deep as this. this is... we've never seen anything like this before. i only moved in five weeks ago. for this woman, rescue couldn't come soon enough. i am waiting for a transplant. absolutely devastating. and this was the view from inside one of the flooded homes, wading through the cold, dirty floodwater. this is the kitchen. living room. a brand— new kitchen. derbyshire and the town of matlock have also been hard by the floods. —— hit hard by the floods. the woman who died after being swept away by the water near darley dale has been named as the former high sheriff, annie hall. she was described as a special person and an inspirational force for good. for some, the flood levels are falling and the clean—up can begin. for others, the misery is likely to continue for days to come.
8:07 am
andy moore, bbc news. our correspondent luxmy gopaljoins us now from stainforth, just outside one of the worst affected areas, fishla ke. we have been saying the dramatic pictures this morning, as andy was saying, as ben was then, more rain to come. how are people that? that is absolutely right, it might seem a that is absolutely right, it might seem a clear morning with blue skies, there is definitely no case for being complacent. take a look, i am next to the river don right now, thatis am next to the river don right now, that is the river don that we've been hearing so much about in the past few days because of the source of so many problems with flooding along the river don in parts of south yorkshire. if you look at how high the levels are, it is fast flowing and is it nearly reaching the top of the arch of that bridge. as you say, we are not far from fishlake, the village that was mentioned in andy's report, it has become a bit of an island because it
8:08 am
has been cut off, it has been so flooded. a lot of the rights to it are completely inaccessible. the water levels have started receding ever so water levels have started receding ever so slightly by a few centimetres in the past few hours, given how deep the flood waters well, that is very slow progress. they water levels are rising in other places, such as newark in nottinghamshire, so we are not out of the danger zone. there are still seven severe flood warnings in place across parts of the north of the country and that is affecting travel and transport, as you can imagine, with lots of training suspended. it looks quite clear now, there is the forecast for worsening conditions and there are lots of people who are still in areas with a severe flood warning in place, meaning there is a potential risk to life. thank you. not quite out of the woods just yet. let us bring you up—to—date on the general election campaign. labour has criticised conservative attempts to unpick their spending plans as the political parties continue
8:09 am
their general election campaigns. the conservatives say labour's spending plans would cost the country an extra £1.2 trillion over the next five years. but labour has dismissed the figures as "fake news". our political correspondent helen catt is in our london studio to tell us more. good morning, a bit of early morning arithmetic from both the main parties. it is, challenging arithmetic for this time in the morning. what the conservative party has done here, these are conservative party figures, they are not from the treasury, this is a political document, is to look at all of labour‘s pledges from its ma nifesto all of labour‘s pledges from its manifesto in 2017 and attach a costa, and attach a costa or the pledges they have made sense and they come out and about 600 billion a piece, add them together to get this one big figure. there are couple of issues with doing this. like all the parties at the moment, labour has not published its ma nifesto, labour has not published its manifesto, its list of policies for
8:10 am
the selection. you simply cannot know which one of those will make it into the final cut, there will not be decided until next weekend. attaching a specific figure is very hard. there are some questions about some of the estimates that the conservative party have used in this, things like the cost of renationalising the railways, energy supply, renationalising the railways, energy supply, things like that. the underlying point that labour does wa nt to underlying point that labour does want to spend a lot more is absolutely true, they have been very upfront about that this week. john mcdonnell said he wanted to spend an extra £55 billion a year on uk investment. labour are trying to paint their plans is ambitious, the conservatives, who have said they will spend more than they do now, are trying to frame them as unaffordable. thank you, helen. our political correspondent with a busy day ahead, no doubt. thousands of people have been displaced by a weekend of bushfires in australia and there's a warning things could become worse. three people are known to be dead.
8:11 am
the prime minister scott morrison said the military could be called upon to support firefighters who are currently tackling more than 100 fires in queensland and new south wales. our correspondent phil mercer joins us from sydney. good morning. we have seen some of the pictures earlier. really well for people who live there, especially considering a look set to get worse. some of these images are truly monstrous. these wall of flames on giant ince gail, they have terrorised villages and towns. mostly in northern new south wales and parts of queensland. this emergency began on friday with 17 emergency began on friday with 17 emergency alert levels here in new south wales alone. australia's most popular state has not seen that sort of emergency bushfire emergency before. as you say, on tuesday, forecasters say that the situation could get even worse. the authorities, fire authorities are expected to issue extreme fire
8:12 am
warnings for the stretch of coastline in new south wales going from the queensland border in the north, all the way here to sydney and further south. it is also reported that here in sydney on tuesday, the city will face a catastrophic fire warning for the first time ever. as you say, at least three people have been killed, 150 homes have been destroyed and the fair is things could get much worse. “— the fair is things could get much worse. —— the fear is. thank you. it isa it is a 12am. good morning to you. -- 12 it is a 12am. good morning to you. —— 12 minutes past eight. the uk will fall silent at 11 o'clock this morning as part of the remembrance sunday commemorations, as people honour those who lost their lives because of war. the two minute silence will be marked by the firing of guns from the king's troop on horse guards parade. brea kfast‘s graham satchell is there. good morning. yes, this is where the vengeance
8:13 am
will gather over the next couple of hours. we are expecting 10,000 of them together here. they will walk up them together here. they will walk up to the top of whitehall before processing past the cenotaph at around 11am, the whole nation. in silence to remember. we have got some gas to speak to this morning, joe, allen, alistair and fred —— we have got some guests. brief service history? i spent 24 hours in the army, i got out last year in september. you were in northern ireland, afghanistan, saw some pretty horrible stuff. northern ireland was not politically great, i didn't see too much but i saw enough to have a massive effect on my mental health and my well—being. what sort of impact because it had on you? i did not know until i had ptsd until the end of my army career, when i was speaking to my therapist everything made sense, if you like, i was doing silly things, doing silly things, i was getting
8:14 am
angry. when i was talking to my therapist and we were talking about things, i then realised that actually i was trying to make normal situation, which isn't normal, i was trying to normalise it and it wasn't right. how important is it for you to be hit today to remember? right. how important is it for you to be hit today to remember7m right. how important is it for you to be hit today to remember? it is really important, semi—, for my family, all my colleagues that i work with, it is important. it is your own remembrance and it is a time to reflect and be together with eve ryo ne time to reflect and be together with everyone else who has served as well, be a big family again and have a meaning and, it is great, it is an honour. allen is with help for heroes. you have been helped by them. how is potent is it that they know there is that help available? —— how important? i think it is key. that help available? —— how important? ithink it is key. he is onigo important? ithink it is key. he is on i go to the hospital, god is
8:15 am
getting injured in training accents and on operations —— still guys getting injured. alistair hit as pa rt getting injured. alistair hit as part of the mountain rescue. how long did you do that for? i was a volunteer for 32 years. served throughout the uk. the reason that the raf has got a mountain rescue service is because aircraft crashes, close to 100, not something that i've kept count. what happened to you in borneo? the borneo incident was those two british soldiers and three hong kong soldiers and three hong kong soldiers went missing on a mountain out in borneo and i went out there as the on scene commander, such control the forehead. they went on to the mountain... they went a
8:16 am
different way round, they went up the mountain and then decided to go down the other side, down a dollar to no delay, they went on to the mountain on the 16th of february and they were not found until the 25th of march. they had been on the mountain a long time. they had not been seen until they were found. they had not been seen they were found. they had not been seen for 23 days. it was 12, 13 days they had no food, they had lots of water. it was a very difficult call out for us and one of the longest call—outs the raf mountain rescue has been on, searching for ten days and found them alive, two of the hong kong soldiers were in a very poor condition and had to be supported to get back. you did well. you saved their lives. it shows you the kind authority of the british mentally do, you think of the military out in afghanistan and northern ireland, there are all sorts of amazing bets, incredible
8:17 am
work. very much so. the mountain rescue service is notjust for mission aircraft, it is for civilian people as well, the civilian mountain rescue teams throughout the uk, we support them as well. you serve man and boy in the british army, you have a long family line, tell us about that. my great—grandfather was a quartermaster during the first world wall, my family —— my father served in the second world war. he came up all the way through italy. how important is it for you to be here today to remember? very important. it can be emotional. especially when you walk pass the
8:18 am
cenotaph. i think everybody grey about two inches when they go past that because it is pretty... it is peer pride that they have served and they are the representing their regiments, their people, their comrades who have actually given everything. it's a wonderful experience for a military man, yes. thank you very much. enjoy the day to day, if you can. the ceremony is at 11am, the queen will be here, the prime minister, members of the royal family, the oldest person of the vengeance family, the oldest person of the vengeance here will be 104 years old, —— the oldest person of the vetera ns. old, —— the oldest person of the veterans. there will be events of course across the country. graham, thank you. an extra new range of stories there. the power of
8:19 am
that word pride as well. we will beat you later. it has been a real education this morning, things you had not learnt about. the matches coming up past the cenotaph on bbc one. here's ben rich with a look at this morning's weather. what a picture that is. after a ll what a picture that is. after all the rain we've had this week, we are getting to see scenes like this one, this picture was sent to us by one of our weather watchers in west dunbartonshire, beautiful sunrise here. they were not alone, a lovely start to the day here in norfolk as well. a little bit of mr and, not lingering too long, essentially today is a window in fine weather. it should be dry for any commemorations. this is how things have panned out so far this morning, some showery rain pushing across southern areas, that is now
8:20 am
starting to clear quite quickly. further north, cold night, as we go through today, any remaining showery rain will clear away from the south. some patchy cloud here for a time, also some patches of cloud drifting into northern scotland, eastern coastal counties of england, are not shower. for most, fine entry with blue skies overhead. some more cloud rolling into northern ireland later on, top temperatures between five and 11 celsius. the wind will be fairly light, it should not feel too bad out there. a fine evening for most, however, rain will be pushing it into northern ireland and overnight we have rain will push its way into scotland, is a high ground, about 250 metres, you could get significant covering of snow into tomorrow morning. some snow for a time because higher ground of the pennines, rain further time because higher ground of the pennines, rainfurthersouth, telling windy through the night. gusts up to 40 miles below, maybe 50
8:21 am
mph in the most exposed spots. temperature wise through the night, not as cold as the last couple of nights because we will have more cloud, the outbreaks of rain and more of a breeze. the persistent rain and hill snow through the night brought to us by this frontal system, that will be clearing eastwards tomorrow but behind it is a north—westerly wind blowing across the uk, a brisk wind which will bring plenty of showers. sunshine and showers stay for tomorrow. some of the showers will be heavy, thundery, some hill mixed in and perhaps some sleet and snow as well asa high perhaps some sleet and snow as well as a high ground in the north. all the while, some slices of blue sky and sunshine, but with the strength of the north—westerly wind, it will feel chilly tomorrow, top temperatures between six and 11 celsius. talking of chilly, it stays that way through the weekend, temperatures for the most part stuck in single digits. rain at times, but not all the time. it is not all bad news over the next few days and certainly today should be mainly dry with some spells of sunshine. back
8:22 am
to you, chris and nina. i love the idea of a slice of blue sky. it is 22 minutes past eight. the stars of strictly come dancing took to the floor last night. it's now week eight and our very own mike bushell put in a passionate paso doble performance. so the question on everyone's lips, again, is, willmike make it to blackpool? or will it be his fourth week in the dance—off? let's have a quick look at how mike and the other contestants fared. # hope you don't mind that i put down in words # how wonderful life is # now you're in the world #. gorgeous. absolutely gorgeous. thank you. it was a dance of
8:23 am
the highest quality. # i can tell by the way you walk and walk # and i can tell by the way you talk that talk # i can tell by the way you treat your girl # and i could give you all the loving in the whole wide world # all i want to do is cook your bread #. # let's give the boy a hand # let's hear it for my baby # you know you got to understand # whoa # maybe he's no romeo # but he's my lovin' one—man show # whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa # let's hear it for the boy #. i couldn't really enjoy it because motsi was screeching like a banshee the whole way through, darling, i had trouble looking at it. it was the hips!
8:24 am
hip—tastic, darling. hip—tastic. music: tamacun by rodrigo y gabriela showbiz broadcaster kevin hughes joins us from our cardiff newsroom. good morning. let us talk about my first. what did bruno say, left him with indigestion? craig said it was all fine and still you started to walk. and then it all went horribly wrong. thosejudges walk. and then it all went horribly wrong. those judges can walk. and then it all went horribly wrong. thosejudges can be brutal. they can be bitter, but it is all about blackpool. he gave passion, it
8:25 am
was problematic last night though. motsi was very happy about his paso, but they did not want to give him the positive critic last night. i thought he gave a fabulous performance last night. shelley said he is given 150%. she really praised mike for the fact he has been giving 150%. he is leading well with his partner. chris last night, i'm afraid to tell you, 25 points, bottom of the leaderboard last night. can he do it? i am nervous for him this week. i think u nfortu nately for him this week. i think unfortunately it will be in the bottom two tonight. that is my hunch, that is my prediction. we are rooting for mike, we want to see him get to blackpool. with diplomacy like that, you could work for the united nations. what about saffron and ajay, motsi was saying that was
8:26 am
her favourite dance ever since she became a judge? a beautiful dance from saffron and aj, it was very much her dance last night. a wobbly last two weeks last night back on form, just a beautiful watch last night. saffron admitted she felt like an old soul in young body. she is committed to this competition and i think she will make it to blackpool last week. year by year comparison, cavan, how do you think there is not shape up compared with previous years? i think they are on track to deliver an incredibly well. it is very interesting with strictly, by now you have a personalfavourite, i think what is interesting about this day, chris, you cannot call it. i cannot predict who is going to win this competition. i think it was obvious in previous years. sometimes iam thinking obvious in previous years. sometimes i am thinking isn't going to be
8:27 am
michelle and giovanni, i can't call it at this stage in the competition. the pressure is on because everyone, eve ryo ne the pressure is on because everyone, everyone in the ballroom last night wa nts to everyone in the ballroom last night wants to get to blackpool. it is the key moment in the strictlyjourney. iam seeing key moment in the strictlyjourney. i am seeing the overlap in our lives, we are counting down to a date in mid—december, we cannot call the outcome. the general election and strictly, they are merging into one. i was thinking the same. i wa nted one. i was thinking the same. i wanted to ask your take on that. we are no similar path as we go forward to blackpool. every vote counts, of course. i think tonight it is going to be very, very interesting to see who is eliminated because once we get past this evening, once we get to blackpool, we are on the home straight to the ballot box for the final. you are saying it is too close to call, which couples do you think are likely to be in the mix when we get down to the last couple of weeks? i am convinced that michelle and giovanni will be in the
8:28 am
mix. they arejust michelle and giovanni will be in the mix. they are just consistently brilliant. a huge fan of those two. i think calvin and oti will get there. and i think saffron and aj will be there as well. a song from the footloose soundtrack from the 80s, fabulous last night. dynamic dancing! i am sure they are going to qualify. they are doing particular well. motsi was particularly excited last night. try that word again. not again. thanks, kevin. thanks. with strictly there will be a winner, and it will disappearfor a little while, whereas with politics, we cannot guarantee that.
8:29 am
8:30 am
hello, this is breakfast with chris mason and nina warhurst. it is 8:30am. here's a summary of this morning's main news. officials are warning that more floods will strike later today — this time along the river trent in newark, in nottinghamshire. seven severe flood warnings remain in place for parts of the river don near doncaster — meaning there's a threat to life. many people are still unable to return to their homes and travel disruption is affecting roads and railways in the midlands and yorkshire. the royal family will lead the nation in remembrance sunday events with the traditional
8:31 am
wreath—laying service at the cenotaph this morning. hundreds of armed forces personnel will also be present at the occasion, alongside prime minister boris johnson and labour leaderjeremy corbyn. a two—minute silence will be held across the country at 11am. prince charles will lay a wreath during the service on behalf of the queen, who will watch from a balcony. labour has criticised conservative attempts to unpick their spending plans as the political parties continue their general election campaigns. the conservatives say labour's spending plans would cost the country an extra £1.2 trillion over the next five years. but labour has dismissed the figures as "fake news", calling them an "incompetent mish—mash of debunked estimates and bad maths". thousands of people have been displaced by a weekend of bushfires in australia and there's a warning things could become worse. three people are known to be dead. the prime minister scott morrison said the military could be called upon to support firefighters who are currently tackling more than 100 fires in queensland and new south wales. commemorations have been taking place in germany to mark the 30th anniversary since the fall
8:32 am
of the berlin wall. thousands of people gathered at the heart of the german capital to mark the historic day — with chancellor angela merkel leading the event. spanish voters are returning to the polls for the country's second general election injust over six months. the socialists, led by the acting prime minister, pedro sanchez won the most seats in the last ballot in april but were unable to form a government. spain has been struggling to put stable governments together since 2015. tens of thousands of well—wishers gathered in tokyo to congratulate japan's emperor naruhito on his enthronement. the emperor officially began his reign in may after the abdication of his father. the ceremony was postponed so that the government could deal with the aftermath of the recent typhoon. dancers, musicians and well—wishers all marked the occasion. that is quite a picture, isn't it?
8:33 am
it really is. hitting the drum in the underwear is the shot for me. that brings you up to date, including with nina's analysis. jane, bring us the sport. let's bring some sensibility to the proceedings, shall we? just one place to start, liverpool against manchester city. their first meeting of the season is at anfield this afternoon and the result could be indicative as to where this season's title goes. city won the premier league byjust one point last season and were the only team to beat liverpool in the competition. this time though city are already six points behind jurgen klopp's undefeated side, and the liverpool manager says they'll need to be at their best to extend it to nine. we have to play our best game. everybody in the stadium has to be absolutely top shape. the guys who sell the hotdogs have to be in a top shape.
8:34 am
so everybody has to be from the first second come early in the stadium, go inside, nothing to do outside, wait for the team warming up, be there, all that stuff. could there be another contender for the title? leicester moved up to second in the premier league with an impresive 2—0 home win over arsenal. jamie vardy‘s 11th goal of the season put the in—form side on their way. and james maddison secured the victory as he added a second. that's a fourth consecutive league win for leicester. tottenham's disappointing run of form continues. they were held to a 1—all draw at home to sheffield united. david baldock with this fortuitous equaliser for the visitors. but they could have had all three points. take a look at this. when they were behind sheffield united had a goal ruled out by var because this was judged to be offside. just look at the margin.
8:35 am
ifjohn lundstram's boots were one size smaller he might have got away with it. or even if he had cut his toenails. good point. he hadn't, though. it was a draw. there were also wins for chelsea, everton, newcastle and burnley. there was a record attendance at wembley stadium last night for an england women's game, with more than 77,000 watching the lionesses. but it wasn't the result they wanted to see in the friendly against germany, as jo currie reports. these fans braved the damp and drizzly conditions, hoping to witness a piece of history as the lionesses walked out at wembley for only the second time. a sold—out game and an expectant crowd. however, an early goal from the german captain threatened to dampen spirits. since the world cup semifinals, england have suffered from a hangover. paris could not find this tonic from the spot. on the big stage, england needed a big player. step up ellen white.
8:36 am
back from injury and back on the scoresheet. the world cup's joint top scorer picking up where she left off. a cheer from more than 77,000 fans, a new record for an england women's football game in this country. but with the draw on the horizon, germany scored a late winner, leaving england crushed and with only one win out of seven. off the pitch, this match delivered with over 77,000 fans braving the wet weather to come and watch england play. but it was another lacking performance from the english team and questions will be asked about the direction of this team moving forward. i have been in football long enough that as a manager you have to take the responsibility. i do take that responsibility. it is a lot to do with me and we just have to make sure that i improve as a manager and the players will improve as well. and they will need to improve quickly as england play the czech republic on tuesday, their final chance to see out the year on a high. there was a flashback
8:37 am
to the summer, as england's cricketers needed a super over to beat new zealand in their fifth and final t20 international. they were tied after 11—overs each in auckland — the match shortened because of the weather. so, just like the world cup final between the same two sides, they went to a super over. england batted first and scored 17, they then restricted new zealand to just eight runs from their over. a much more comforable margin than at lord's. it means england win the series 3—2. saracens played their first game since being provisionally docked 35 points and handed a £5 million fine for breaching the premiership salary cap. they were greeted with some boos by the crowd at gloucester and a few cries of ‘cheat‘. but it didn't seem to affect them, nick tompkins ran in the first of their two tries as they won 21—12. it's been described as the biggest internet event in history.
8:38 am
the re—match between youtubers logan paul and ks! has just finished in los angeles. they have 40 million subscribers between them, and they also have a long running feud. this was their first fight as professionals, having drawn their amateur bout in manchester last year. and it was ksi, who's from watford, who just edged it over the american logan paul in a split decision. has it sunk in yet? no, it hasn't, bro. it hasn't. and i don't think it will for a while. it's unreal, man. iworked hard, man. this wasn't easy, bro. this isn't easy. this isn't an easy sport to be in. and i felt it from the beginning to the end. and, like, iamjust gassed, man. i'm happy, i'm happy. my my gameplaying went out the window. that was the worst i've performed in any sport, ever. you can hear it in
8:39 am
my voice now. i'm sick, i woke up sick, i have been sneezing all day. i try to ignore that but it took probably 30 to 40% out of me. i don't know. i don't know if i was trying to conserve energy because i thought i was going to die because of my lungs. i do not know. congratulation to him. i can't help but feel very middle—aged with stories like this. that is because you are very middle—aged. a lot of young people watching. it is all about youtube. they have 40 million viewers between them. his name stands for knowledge, strength and integrity. he might sue over copyright. as we were hearing earlier, out of everybody, that is so earlier, out of everybody, that is so impressive to train and get in the ring and do it properly. yes, it
8:40 am
scares the life out of me. it is so much hard work, boxing, as well. if you have ever been in a ring, which i have, just to work out, not properly, just firing, just firing. it is exhausting. it is the best work—out ever. you have got to be fit. thank you, jane. a pleasure. thank you. it is 8:40am. let's take a look at the front pages. the observer is looking at the scandal over boris johnson's friendship with technology entrepreneurjennifer arcuri. the picture show‘sjeremy corbyn on the campaign trail. the sunday times leads with the conservative party's claims about the cost of labour's policies. the photo shows champion boxer tyson fury, who opens up about his mental health traumas.
8:41 am
the sunday express front page focuses on brexit party leader nigel farage's "final ultimatum" to mrjohnson and the conservatives over an election pact. there was a remain packed struck this week. some are green party candidate standing aside for the liberal democrats. and online, sydney's daily telegraph leads with the devastating bushfires continuing to spread through parts of new south wales. some really dramatic pictures. we are going to have a look at what is inside the papers this morning. ian mcmillan is here to tell us what's caught his eye. this is a story about holly. it is a big yearfor holly. this is a story about holly. it is a big year for holly. it has been a great year for big year for holly. it has been a great yearfor apples. big year for holly. it has been a great year for apples. it means people like me and chris, we will be sent out to gather holly from trees. they will see it as your job sent out to gather holly from trees. they will see it as yourjob as a
8:42 am
man ofa they will see it as yourjob as a man of a house, anyone can gather it, i agree, man of a house, anyone can gather it, iagree, they man of a house, anyone can gather it, i agree, they will see it as yourjob to go and gather it. you are up there on a set of ladders. you feel yourself falling from the tree. it is all the way through christmas, you are scratched, lacerated, but i will go to my mother in law's, my family will gather round, we will laugh, we will look at granddad falling from the holly tree like it is every year. looking on the bright side, it is in abundance. even more cuts on your arm. i see it is christmas dad, they say, the scratches on your arm. women can also gather, gender neutral. of course. we were just saying earlier with the guests at the cenotaph, we can listen to them all day. this man was in the second
8:43 am
world war. they are slipping from memory into history. my dad was in the second world war. he has been dead a long time. these are real stories and the silence that surrounds them, the silence of death, but then that fantastic silence of remembrance. i love the minute of silence. we are always talking but we had that minute silence yesterday at the barnsley match. that silence just before the match. that silence just before the match. i think silence is a great thing and! match. i think silence is a great thing and i think they are going to try and get children to switch off their phones. just the power of the silence is great. the silence greater now because of the noises we have everywhere, as you say smartphones everywhere, notifications and alerts. to try and pause for those couple of minutes. just the joy of silence is
8:44 am
underrated, i think. just the joy of silence is underrated, ithink. especially at football matches. it really happened yesterday, it was an amazing thing. it seems to have a weight cultural and real as well. lets have a look at the lake district, courtesy of the sunday times, to illustrate the story of the lake district becoming car free. plenty of people do lots of walking but it would encourage them to do rather more. they get there by car. as a non—driver, i would appreciate it. it would take me quite a long time to walk there. we have to get the train or the bus. wouldn't it be great if we could walk? you probably have to have better public transport to get you there. if you could have public transport to get you to the lake district, it would be car free. somehow that might encourage car free zones, which would then encourage the silence we were
8:45 am
talking about earlier. we could have car free zones and every couple of days, let's have the minute silence in the lake district. wouldn't that be nice? i could try and promote it because it is much easier than going up because it is much easier than going upa because it is much easier than going up a ladder and getting covered in scratches. what is the road that ru ns scratches. what is the road that runs through the lake district? is there nothing more frustrating than going to a tranquil place and getting stuck in traffic? imagine william wordsworth getting stuck in a car? if you get the trains rate, the rest follows, doesn't it? how do you like your beef? old style cow are 3d printed? i don't understand 3d printing. they are going to 3d print beef. you go to a restaurant and you get 3d printed beef. do they have to 3d print locale before? and you get 3d printed beef. do they have to 3d print locale before ?m greggs can make if he can sausage
8:46 am
roll, anything can happen. it is ha rd roll, anything can happen. it is hard enough to print out a piece of paper here. i am tad sceptical about a piece of sirloin printing out of the printer. it is exactly like meat. you have a special button that says medium, rare or well done. always medium and with mustard. says medium, rare or well done. always medium and with mustardm is the breakfast mustered society here. thank you. it is i was great to have you on the sofa. thank you. here's ben rich with a look at this morning's weather. everyone taking a keen interest in the weather because of the floods. absolutely, chris. what a week it has been. the torrential rain that brought problems with flooding. hard to imagine then that we are waking up to imagine then that we are waking up to scenes like these. our weather
8:47 am
watchers have been out early this morning. that was county tyrone earlier this morning. in eights stuck to the day in suffolk. today isa stuck to the day in suffolk. today is a chance to draw breath. —— a nice day in suffolk. if you are going to e remembrance event today, it should be nice. you can see the rain starting to break apart. further north, i see stretches to content with across parts of northern ireland. patches of cloud floating around. a lot of blue sky overhead. spells of sunshine. one or two showers in scotland. it can be wintry. more clouds gathering in northern ireland later in the day. top temperatures, five celsius in glasgow. 11 in london. it is not going to feel too bad out there. a
8:48 am
fine evening for most. things start to change. rain arrives in northern ireland. as the rain gets to the high ground in scotland, a covering of snow in the night. wind mixing in in the pennines. when mixing further south. wind gusts widely 30 to 40 mph, maybe 50 mph and some exposed spots. temperatures are not as low as they have been in recent nights. largely because of the extra cloud and strength of the breeze. tomorrow, so this frontal system to clear away in england and making it cloudy in the northern isles here. elsewhere, yes, we should get to see some spells of sunshine tomorrow. slices of blue sky in between the showers. some real downpours are possible with some hail and thunder mixed in. the showers are likely to
8:49 am
contain something wintry over the high ground in the north. a keen north—westerly breeze. the temperature is seven to 11 celsius. consider the strength of the breeze, cold it with that. talking of chilly, it is going to stay that way through the week ahead. temperatures for the most part in single digits. it won't be ringing all the time. outbreaks of rain. we will be watching them closely for the flood affected areas. some drier spells in between. that is what we have for the rest of the day. for me, have a great sunday. chris and nina, back to you. thank you, then. what a week to you. thank you, then. what a week to be out chasing politicians in the iam doing i am doing it disappearing act in a second to read the news on the andrew marr show. it sounds like an impossible task — to read all the dna of every single non—human living thing on earth. but that's what scientists around
8:50 am
the world are trying to do over the next decade. it should help discover new medicines to fight disease and new crops to resist climate change. research charity the wellcome trust has confirmed it will provide almost ten million pounds of funding towards the uk part of the project, called tree of life. richard westcott reports. so now we're just taking a sample of water from the pond so we can see what living things are in there. even the most cutting—edge global science can start with a pond and a selfie stick. i am assuming that's teeming with life. because you can't see anything in it. no, once we look under the microscope you'll see. this is a tiny part of one of the most ambitious scientific projects ever, to read the dna of all nonhuman life on earth. that is every plant, animal, fungi, and single cell organism, including the ones in the pond where these guys work. it's really exciting. over the last ten years or so a lot of techniques have been developed in biomedical sciences for doing single cell sequencing. so it's analysed the dna
8:51 am
of individual cells from humans or mice and what we're doing is we're adapting those technologies. so there are things in here that don't have a name that let alone having their dna sequence, they don't even have a name yet? it's entirely possible, yeah. by studying dna from wild species they hope to find answers to global problems, like how to breed crops to withstand disease and climate change. nature also holds clues to new medicines for humans. so this is basically malaria, is it? it is. and you were saying one letter could be out here and that's why malaria would kill someone. yes. so it's one letter in this sequence for this particular gene could make the difference between the parasite being resistant or susceptible to the drug. and, effectively, the difference between life and death. over the next decade, ten uk partners will decipher the genetic code of 66,000 species. part of a global effort to sequence 1.5 million living things. with the results free for all to use.
8:52 am
well, there's huge excitement, really, because this is classic discovery science and it's very reminiscent of the explorers such as darwin who went out and collected species to describe them and then that led to theories which transformed biology. who knows, even the contents of their pond could potentially lead to life changing discoveries. richard westcott, bbc news, norwich. amazing and so ambitious. people are being urged to put down their smartphone today to take part in the traditional two minute silence to pay respect to those who lost their lives because of war. the royal british legion's "pause to remember" campaign hopes that by turning off technology, more young people especially, will engage with memorial events. breakfast‘s graham satchell is at horse guards parade this morning. we have really been enjoying all of those personal stories we have heard this morning from you and your
8:53 am
guests. yes, we are at horse guards parade. you may be able to see it now there are hundreds and hundreds of vetera ns now there are hundreds and hundreds of veterans arriving here. this is the point for the remembrance service at the cenotaph. they will walk up to the top of whitehall and woke down in time of the 11 o'clock silence. this year, the royal british legion is trying to urge people at 11 o'clock today and tomorrow to put down their phones, tomorrow to put down their phones, to ta ke tomorrow to put down their phones, to take a moment to remember, as my colleague robert hall explains. on the streets of birmingham an army of poppy sellers. the last big push before britain's remembrance weekend. millions of us wear the flower which grew on the battlefields of the first world war, but is it enough to inspire new generations?
8:54 am
the world is going so much faster so it's just about trying, for everybody, adults notjust children, to slow down, to think about everything and remember. ra njit, volunteering for the first time, believes remembrance has to move online. the younger society is too heavily influenced with social media now. it's the technology that they have at their disposal. i think if they were to research it, it is probably the best platform to use. let's break the silence on the two minute silence and pause. this campaign from the royal british legion is a beginning with a simple message to all of us. so if we give them a second, or two minutes, is that really too much to ask? but will the initiative help to engage more of us with remembrance? poppy seller helen joined me at aston university to find out. most people don't go out of the way to buy the poppy because itjust
8:55 am
seems like effort to do so. especially with my work with the students' union we've realised that it's not necessarily collecting shrapnel in a box and going around knocking on doors, if we have more of an online presence. ijust feel like the poppies are more aimed towards the older generation, maybe. now they have started to go into other things that are notjust the poppy, wristbands and things like that. i think it's a good idea. you can be silent by still be on your phone or texting, so by doing a cleanse for a few minutes to think about remembrance, i think that's a good idea. robert hall, bbc news, birmingham. just some of the stories they are. some of the stories we have been hearing this morning. we arejoined by some veterans here today. good morning. i should try and explain eu served in the air force but you
8:56 am
landed on the water. served in the air force but you landed on the waterlj served in the air force but you landed on the water. ijoined in 1962. i spent time out in libya, bridlington, eden. and you guys were basically rescuing people from the water? survivalwith basically rescuing people from the water? survival with the helicopters. you have seen a lot of action. you have lost people on the way? could have done, have done. we lost a bought off of bridlington in 1969. one of our boats, we used to go 1969. one of our boats, we used to 9° up 1969. one of our boats, we used to go up to broughty ferry and work with the helicopters at leuchars. one day in september 1969 on the way back from broughty ferry, one of our boats capsized and we lost three men. this is in our minds to this day. that was the first casualty be
8:57 am
lost since the second world war. you we re lost since the second world war. you were all over the world. i want to talk to you about christmas island. you were there when the americans we re you were there when the americans were testing their nuclear bombs, what was that like? noisy. amazing, actually. you felt the heat, you felt the blast and of course you saw the clouds. it didn't bother us, we we re young the clouds. it didn't bother us, we were young and foolish then. the clouds. it didn't bother us, we were young and foolish thenlj the clouds. it didn't bother us, we were young and foolish then. i was going to say, did you realise how dangerous at the time it was? no, no worries at all. how important is it for you to be here today? as david has already said, memories of people we knew, the rescues we have done and so on. i am happy. you are going to be speaking here today? yes. i should explain, i'm going to come this way. you are the first seek
8:58 am
chaplain in the raf? it is the first time there has been a chaplain of any other faith. it is breaking the glass ceiling. how important it is for you to be here today?” glass ceiling. how important it is for you to be here today? i feel like myself, my community and the traditions mean a lot. if we lose remembrance, it lose our traditions and the inspiration we get from. we need to remember those from across the islands, everywhere, his served and participated. people forget hundreds of thousands of people came from india and the commonwealth to help in the second world war. there we re help in the second world war. there were approximately 1 million help in the second world war. there were approximately1 million in world war i and 20% of the way from
8:59 am
this community. their families, their wives, and they were sending them and perhaps that was a good buy. was there any hope they would come back? we do not know what country they are going, where they will be living. —— they did not know. an amazing sacrifice of the to say, go, go and serve. ifeel the real heroes as well who are able to give that courage and strength to be able to serve. thank you very much. as you can see, it is filling up with veterans a year from all different services who are here to remember. the queen will be here, and the prime minister, and there will be services like this across the country today. thank you so much. it really has been wonderful hearing all of the stories throughout the morning. coverage from the cenotaph at 10:15am on bbc
9:00 am
one. that's all from us on breakfast this morning. we hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend and join us again from six o'clock tomorrow. this is bbc news, i'm ben brown. the headlines at nine: remembering the fallen — after attending a concert last night, the royalfamily and senior politicians will be at the cenotaph in central london this morning. floods in south yorkshire continue to cause chaos with seven severe warnings still in place — meaning there's a danger to life. hundreds of homes have been evacuated. in the election, there's a row over spending after the conservatives publish what they claim would be the cost of a labour government. fears that extreme weather conditions in australia could fuel more bushfires. three people have already lost their lives. and our sunday morning edition of the papers is at 9.35, this morning's reviewers are journalist and author
