why, how, usman khan did what he last won the chelsea. time to savour the moment. did. and many of the papers today aaron cresswell with the only goal of the game, a lesson are full of in perseverance, personified by david martin. tributes to jack merritt, the first the west ham goalkeeper of the vic making his debut at the age of 33. is named. you the son of club legend alvin martin. were there for him, the win on friday on london bridge as was special indeed. this happened and, quite rightly, many tributes also to the members of the now, you might remember public who intervened. jose mouinrho‘s favourite ball boy whose quick thinking helped tottenham beat 0lympiakos exactly. i in the think what has become clear is just champions league how confusing the whole situation last week. was as it developed at his reward was a meal with the team. two o'clock on friday. i was on one side of 15—year—old callum hynes met harry kane and the rest the bridge and i could see what i of the squad yesterday, ahead of their premier league match thought at the time was a fight against bournemouth, among several men. we before taking up his usual place on the now know that that was several members of the touchline. mourinho says he hoped the gesture public trying to restrain usman helped him to make amazing memories. khan, keeping him on the bridge and there are four more premier league stopping him from going any further games today, including until the police could arrive. arsenal‘s first game none since unai emery was of us on the bridge really knew what sacked. we also had the draw was going on. we had no idea that for euro 2020 last night, there had been a stabbing spree at with england in a group fishmonger‘s hall. if with croatia, the czech republic usman khan had and one of the play—off winners.

you might remember that it was been allowed to get further down croatia who broke english hearts at last year‘s world cup, the bridge on stopped, it is highly beating them in the semifinal. likely, i think, bridge on stopped, it is highly likely, ithink, that bridge on stopped, it is highly likely, i think, that there would have been more casualties and that england could come up against scotland if they manage to get isa have been more casualties and that is a tribute to those members of the through the play—offs in march. public who stopped that from gareth southgate‘s side happening. later this morning, the cathedral will play close to where the attack took place all their group matches will honour the victims. we'll speak to at wembley. i think there are eight or ten top the dean nations, if you look at the history of southwark cathedral of european after 6:30. election campaigning is expected championships. to resume fully from tomorrow so many different winners and a lot following a more muted tone this weekend in light teams prepare their squads of friday's terror attack. it's now just 12 days for the world cup and they until voters go to the polls. rebuild after world cups. we can speak now to our political their margins are really fine. wales are in a group with italy, correspondent susana mendonca switzerland and turkey. who is in our london newsroom. they‘ve got some travelling to do too. susana, both labour and the conservatives are focusing they play their first two group on games in the capital of azerbaijan, baku, before going to rome to play security italy. at this stage, they are all tough games. today? switzerland are a the focus has really shifted good team and i watched towards security. we heard john talk about their progress the ministry ofjustice in with the republic of ireland

review into and denmark, a talented the license conditions. from boris team. johnson today we will also hear yeah, turkey were about longer sentencing, something the conservatives have spoken about in a group before but we will get with france as more detail on that so someone is convicted of a well and iceland serious terrorist offence, the minimum term should the so done well 1a years. that is something that was not in to come through the manifesto but something that is that. in the manifesto and they will talk italy are fantastic of course, about again today is winning every game. it will be tough. northern ireland and the republic the automatic release system are basically saying are in the play—offs and, that that must end. borisjohnson if they do qualify, they will avoid will also claim that the group of death. that‘s group f, which is made up a jeremy corbyn of the world champions, france, the european champions, government would weaken the country portugal, and germany. security. labour point of view we there were some wry smiles as that group was drawn in bucharest. have security speech from jeremy the final race in the f1 season corbyn later today and he will say takes place in abu dhabi later. that you cannot expect to keep lewis hamilton has already won people safe cheaply and he will the world title and will start point to almost a today‘s race in pole position. decade of red bull‘s max verstapen will start austerity and cuts second and charles leclerc in third for ferrari. northern ireland‘s carl frampton to policing and is back to his winning ways probation services but he will also after dominating his fight against tyler mccreary in las vegas address the concerns that people may have about security, making it clear overnight. that he thinks it was right to frampton floored the american twice en route use level force in a case where there to a dominant points victory. it was his first bout is somebody who appears to be wearing since losing an ibf world featherweight title challenge

a suicide vest. and he will also against england‘s josh warrington criticise borisjohnson, basically last december and tees up saying that borisjohnson is another world title shot for the donald trump ‘s sycophant and, i suppose, jackal in pointing in the direction of boris johnson perhaps not being 2020. someone who can be completely trusted on security in the future. a bit like howl boris a bit like how i came johnson, he was off and then on again and he will appear on the to work this andrew marr show this morning. morning! tumbles out what happened? we understand that of the house. there may have been some discussions going it‘s the final day of the trampoline, tumbling and dmt on as to whether or not boris world championships in johnson would appear on the andrew marr show and whether the condition tokyo. dmt? of that would be that he would have to appear on the andrew neil show. double there was some controversy last week about whether or not trampolines... boris johnson and there‘s another medal was running scared from the for great britain elliott brown andrew powered his way to neil show after we saw that interview with jeremy corbyn where silver in the men‘s tumbling jeremy corbyn was grilled heavily on final that show. we understand that the after his second passe scored high on difficulty bbc has decided that he will now to place second in this event appear on the andrew marr show and for the second year in a row. the bbc has said that it is right it how does he generate the power?” should have the prime minister how does he generate the power? i am not quite sure how he on the show to answer questions following that terrorist stops. i would

attack on just keep tumbling.” not quite sure how he stops. i would just keep tumbling. i am not sure friday. how he starts. or how he does the we got to work at quarter past four bit in the middle! we this morning and there was a are going to lot of give that a miss. second talk on social media about a loud year in a bang in the south of england. and row he has won silver. learning from unidentified bank. hundreds of people have been woken the best. up overnight by a loud unidentified thank you. bang across north london and hertfordshire. we‘re returning to our top story now social media users reported hearing the noise from london, — the news that a review up to luton and stevenage, and even as far as cambridge. of terrorists released from prison the metropolitan police has is under way in the wake of friday‘s london bridge knife since tweeted that it was a result of a sonic attack. usman khan stabbed a man and woman boom from raf to death less than a year after he was released planes and there is from prison on licence. no cause for dal babu, former chief concern. superintendent of the met although it did wake many people up police, joins us in the early hours of sunday morning. now. it's the first of december today good morning to and the spirit of christmas has you. first question, already arrived in the birth place of jesus. what was your response when you yes, the christmas tree in bethlehem first heard about the events has been lit up as part of an annual of ceremony in the city's friday afternoon? it was manger square. it sits outside the church very sad of the nativity, where christians and more so when you realise believejesus was born. this the ceremony coincides could have been avoided. three key with the beginning of advent issues here. we need to understand how individuals are monitored and in and reminds us — there's now

just less than three order to do that, we weeks need to have until sufficient police resources and we christmas. have the prevent programme where this individual, usman khan, was two big events along with the election, on the horizon. pa rt this individual, usman khan, was part of. in terms of battery in resources, 2200 bethlehem is built by a team of reduction in police officers but people from equally as important and liverpool. strictly not often spoke about, 18,500 reduction strictly come dancing's karim in police staff, community support zeroual and amy dowden have landed the first perfect score officers, intelligence officers, that would have gathered of this year's series. information on dangerous individuals like usman the children's tv khan and fed it into the system presenter and his professional to understand what actions to take. the partner were key thing is we need to have urgent awarded risk assessment of all a0 the individuals who potentially pose a threat. it goes wider than points terrorism. it is about violent for their performance to ‘you can‘t stop the beat‘ offenders generally. how are they from ‘hairspray‘ with a jive branded the "best ever seen" by the judges. being monitored? how are we being the results of the quarter kept safe in these finals will be on bbc one individuals are tonight at 7.20pm. released? resources aside, usman it is just khan was on licence, released it isjust phenomenal. they would be on licence, wearing a tag, having walking on air twice after that. weekly meetings with a probation officer, and he would have been

it isjust phenomenal. they would be walking on air after thatlj walking on air after that.” couldn‘t do that if i practised located at london bridge, from now to eternity. let‘s take a look at the papers despite living in stoke. yeah, the more you and of course friday‘s attack learn about this, the more features throughout the front pages. and we can start with the sunday times concerns you have. an individual convicted of which leads on trying to blow up iconic borisjohnson pledging new anti—terrorism sites in laws if the tories win the general election. london, then been allowed to come back into london, even though there it pictures the first victim was restrictions on him coming into of the attack to be named — he was 25—year—old jack merritt. london, to attend the initiative the observer looks at how which was part of the attack has affected the prevent the election campaign, programme and rehabilitation. again leading on the prime minister‘s pledge to introduce "hard—line reforms" for convicted there will be questions asked around why terrorists. he was allowed and i had a very it also highlights labour‘s interesting conversation at a criticism of cuts to different areas of the football match yesterday, football security services. spectators act, it is bizarre, the webpage of the i harvey proctor has a picture ofjeremy corbyn prosecuted, and comments from the investigated when he should not have labour leader been, sorry, and usman khan who should have had conditions on claiming uk foreign policy has ‘fuelled‘ the threat him, stopping him, and he was allowed to of terrorism. do what he did. we have to and the sunday telegraph acknowledge the fact his case headline is complicated and he was initially reads ‘pm fury over 70 freed given an indeterminate sentence terrorists‘, citing pledges made which was reduced on

by borisjohnson to introduce appeal to a tougher penalties for those determinant sentence of which he convicted of terror offences, served. i think there is a lot of if the conservatives discussion about the sentence but win the election. here‘s sarah with a the key thing is individuals look come out of prison eventually and it is at this morning‘s really important to understand what weather. we are doing to monitor these it was bitterly cold and still is bitterly cold. today is individuals to ensure we are kept safe. if they breach any conditions, officially the first day of winter, is it they should be put back into wintry? certainly a wintry prison. 0r they should be put back into prison. or if they can be flavour to our weather out there for helped to be rehabilitated, we should do so. the the first day of key thing is monitoring and meteorological winter, i think resources plays a very key december one, it starts with frost around particularly across the part in northern half of the uk. not this, resources and probation, in as bad the police. the cutbacks in policing in the south. but today have been mainly within are largely neighbourhood areas and that is a dry day, cool and frosty with sunshine on offer for many of key area where you collect intelligence, feed into the police us. we have blue colours with a showing we are in the cold air mass and mild intelligence, feed into the police intelligence system in order for air was cloud and rain that we had actions to be taken. we cannot argue yesterday in the south—west is now with the fact things could have clearing away. i dry day been a lot worse. more to come for people may have the south—west of england, a couple of showers through parts of southern been probably inevitable members of england and east anglia but also the public —— had members of some fog patches to content with the over the next few public not intervene. do you think hours. showers for the experience of dealing

northern ireland, north—east england and north—east scotland for a with attacks in 2017, westminster and time. london bridge, will it have informed though showers are blown further south on a brisk northerly breeze. the way this was dealt but for most places with? sadly, 18 months ago, we had a number of it dry with light wind. mist and fog clearing so attacks across bridges in london that by this afternoon, plenty of and london bridge was one of the scenes sunshine on offer for most of on the other side of the us. just the odd shower lingering for bridge. the parts of east anglia, police will be very, very the south—east keen to ensure they put into practice the as well but breezy around the coast. lessons they learned. it was temperatures for most of us on the between city of london side and three and nine degrees. a little chilly where you have a quite frankly the city of london has a lot breeze coming in across north—eastern more resources than other scotla nd coming in across north—eastern scotland and north—east areas, so england. the fact he decided to commit this into this evening and overnight, dry offence in that area meant there was for most places but we have more chance of him being stopped and more cloud working across northern dealt with by the police. members of ireland, scotland and northern england as well, not quite as cold the public were incredibly brave and here this coming night i hope we recognise the bravery of as it was those members of the public who last night that further south, dealt with this individual and if temperatures are sub zero to start your working week. a they had not stopped him, he would have killed more people. sadly, chilly morning on monday but things change from the we have killed more people. sadly, we have lost two lives but it could north—west through the day tomorrow have lost two lives but it could have been much worse. less than two weeks till the general as we see mild air with a couple of weather fronts are starting push on election, what happened has been from the north—west. cold

air still politicised. borisjohnson what happened has been politicised. holding on the south on in the south boris johnson saying what happened has been politicised. on mondays over much of england borisjohnson saying automatically should be stopped, calling for and wales, dry, sunny but chilly and tougher sentences. the labour party frosty. scotland and northern raising questions about resources ireland morrisey about with patchy and cuts, as you rain working eastwards across scotla nd rain working eastwards across scotland through the have. do you think day. top tougher sentences are the answer? temperature tomorrow is similar to well, people will come out, the key today, around six, seven degrees for most places. milder in thing is, people come out of prison, the whether it is a south—west, perhaps reaching double figures. as we move through violent offender, the day terrorism is a crime, essentially, on monday, the area of high pressure we have criminals who come out and stays in charge to the south but we we have criminals who come out and we need to do what we can to start to see the isobars tightening try to help rehabilitate these individuals in the north—west, a bit breezy of and if they don‘t, we need to the north—west. but where you have the north—west. but where you have monitor them closely and if they the light wind and dry breach conditions, regardless of the crime, they need to go back condition, seems like this through monday night to prison. when i was a commander, i once again. mist and fog especially across parts of southern england work closely with the probation system in trying to on tuesday morning, another largely dry day to come on tuesday with high identify individuals who could be taken away pressure still in charge. just a from crime and deal with individuals little more cloud to the far committing crimes and make sure they north—west a time but mist and fog go back into prison, if it will should clear away to leave a keep us go back into prison, if it will keep lot of us safe. for me, it is having blue sky and sunshine. still chilly, a joined up system with sufficient six or seven degrees, a hint that resources in order to make sure things may turn milder than but individuals who come out

also more unsettled from midweek onwards. are monitored. that has worked certainly for today in the next for me few days... 0oh. she was cut and for us as a off in her country in the past. prime there. i think monitoring aside, this attack was she was carried out by someone who finishing up, she was about to say was part that in the next few days it would ofa carried out by someone who was part be cold. i thought she of a rehabilitation programme and he was going to was at london bridge attending a say milder. it's warming up later in conference to do with prisoner the week. we were paying rehabilitation. is that failing in your view? you have attention. rugby star gareth thomas says to look at the he wants his ‘everlasting legacy‘ to be greater awareness of hiv, after revealing his own positive risk assessment made. we had an diagnosis back in september. individual who was convicted, one of the former wales rugby captain has been speaking to prince harry nine people convicted of trying to in an interview for the terrence higgins trust, blow up iconic sites and got as part a substantial sentence. you have to of world question whether it was appropriate for him to come back to aids day. london to an you have a new purpose in event. hindsight is a life and you‘ve turned a negative into wonderful thing, but we have to go back and a learn lessons from the sun do an positive. 5. and tell you what urgent risk assessment on all the a feel like. and this is the truth, mate. i always felt that individuals release —— from this and my life was to play rugby and to represent wales, which i did with all the do an urgent risk assessment. i do not think releasing people in itself passion i have, right. but isa not think releasing people in itself is a bad decision, it is about how

they actually feel that my we monitor them. some people rugby gave me will change, some people will regret what the platform to actually to do what they have done. 0ther i‘m doing now. and i believe change, some people will regret what they have done. other people want what and usman khan was clearly an evil i‘d do now, like what and usman khan was clearly an evil and manipulative individual who i‘d do now is should have had greater monitoring on him. with all the monitoring, really what they care about. because as a point was made not many people from a simple life earlier, with unsophisticated tax, they are that i‘ve come from who could incredibly difficult to have the power to change other people‘s predict and lives. that‘s. prevent —— unsophisticated tags. the power to change other people‘s lives. that's. that's one of the most fulfilling things. thank you. it blows me we say away. they sit down with my parents goodbye to sometimes you look at my trophy cabinet, which i‘m very tina. she‘s off to read the news proud of. on the andrew marr programe. here, it‘s big. buta but stay with me on the bbc cabinet, which i‘m very proud of. here, it‘s big. but a look at it under thing, you know what, they‘ll news channel for that interview between prince harry and gareth thomas. gather dust another go away and be forgotten about. but i‘d here‘s sarah with a look at this morning‘s weather. good morning. i promised you frost like to think where we go on this morning and the weather watchers have been out already, this journey of education and breaking stigma around hiv is something i will have a this is the picture near edinburgh, legacy everlasting. there is a sharp frost. some mist and fog around 2030 goal and you have nowjust signed first thing this morning as well up asa but for most places, as we go through goal and you have nowjust signed up as a commissioner. i to

this young man. i think jp is in the sixth form doing his a—levels and now the pair it's... look out for each other every laughter. day. very often, you see me i think it's absolutely vital! struggling, trying to get up, applause. and — and i think it's absolutely vital. and he takes my stuff and puts it but when that excerpt was played in the bin for me, on the following day‘s news at one, which is very, very nice. the audience laughter jp, you are 18, cyril following the question was cut out, eliciting these responses is 86, what have you got from caroline abrat and first, duncan from this relationship? i love to know about ba the experiences that older people mford. have unfortunately, when the bbc gone through their lives and to see what they have changes achieved in their life, or edits some footage, and i love to speak to people as well. and it is not all it does is undermine its objectivity and its independence. bbc news, on that lunch—time a new concept. bulletin, did boris johnson this school in plymouth has been a huge, inviting its elderly neighbours in for lunch for decades. the school isn't just about exams. huge favour. of course, that is important, but actually, to be successful the excuse given that they needed in life, you've got to be to shorten the clip doesn't make sense at all, as it was only able to talk to people and that a couple of seconds. includes but cutting that out actually people of a different age, completely changed the context. a different mindset to your own, it's actually quite startling watching question time, and that's what is so special to see the audience feel comfortable about what we are doing here. laughing at a prime minister i think it's an important thing, discussing the importance of truth. to encourage people to accept loads i think it's really important this is investigated because it actually of people of different ages.

undermines our confidence i often smile at him in the bbc's impartiality, and how much we can trust them. and when i see him with well, as mentioned there, the bbc did point to reasons other students, talking to them, of timing in its explanation ijust know that he is not for what happened. lonely, by himself. its statement said: disputes over so that makes me really happy. facts and figures are part of any you go out and it cuts the day down, election campaign but this time around, the arguments seem more so you are not sitting numerous and acrimonious than ever in here listening to music or — hence the need for doing odd jobs around the house. independent and neutral 0therwise, you‘d just be sat down verification looking at four walls. of the claims made, by organisations with the christmas holidays fast such as the approaching, the school kitchens have already promised to make cyril charity full fact, extra batches of pasties, sausage rolls and apple crumble. channel 4 news‘s fiona factcheck, lamdin, and reality check on the bbc. bbc the latter is usually fronted by chris news. morris, and recently, fantastic, lunchtime at that school in plymouth. he‘s rugby star gareth thomas says he wants his everlasting legacy been very to be greater awareness of hiv, after revealing his own positive diagnosis back in september. busy man. you probably remember. the former wales rugby captain has been speaking to prince harry in an interview here he is on wednesday scrutinising for the terrence higgins trust, labour‘s claims that the nhs as part of world aids

was at day. you‘ve got a new purpose risk under in life and you‘ve turned a negative into a a post—brexit trade deal positive. yeah, and i'll tell you what i feel like, with the and this is the truth, mate, i always felt that my us. life was to play rugby of course, and to represent wales, which i did with all there‘s the passion i have, right? going to but i actually feel that my rugby be pressure gave me the platform to actually — do what i'm that‘s what trade doing now. talks are all about. and i believe what there will also be trade—offs. i do now, if the uk turns down some what i do now is of these american requests, then we can really what i care about because there's not many expect the americans people from a simple life that i've to reject some come from who could have the key british demands power to change other people's lives. for access that's, like... it‘s one of the most to their fulfilling things. it blows me market. but none of this is really proof away. i sit down with my parents sometimes that the nhs is somehow for sale, and we look at my trophy cabinet, even if the us would like it which i'm really proud of. to be on the table. it‘s big. yeah, it's big, but producing a definitive verdict on what the politicians are saying it's big. is not a straightforward affair. the adjudications of chris morris but i look and i think,

have themselves faced judgement, you know what, they'll gather dust with journalists from the daily mail and they'll go away and they'll and the daily telegraph over be forgotten about. the past but i'd like to think where we go on this journey of education and breaking stigma around hiv fortnight is something that will have a legacy criticising his everlasting. we know there‘s a hell of a lot findings. and, of course, the whole business to do, but what you‘ve managed of fact—checking has come under to do in the space of, the spotlight since the conservative you know, six or eight weeks has party entered this area for last been transformational. week‘s leaders‘ debate on itv, genuinely transformational. asjessica parker reported. as you said, we should looking online, what to take at face value? all know our status. last night, a brief rebrand and if it‘s treated just the same of a conservative party twitter account to factcheckuk. as any other virus, that‘s exactly the conservatives say what should be happening. it was still clear who was running the account, but one senior labour yeah. from what my perspective, figure said twitter should have all i can do is thank taken it down. you for the difference that you‘ve well, undeterred by such self—styled made and the lives you are saving entrance into the fact—checking market, chris morris from bbc on a daily basis now. reality check is with me now. and you will have every single one thank you for making the time. of us backing you the whole way. i know you‘re not in this alone. it‘s busy. you‘re not. you now know that. i know. hi, samira. you put the trust in the british has this election already been public, and quite rightly. particularly angry and more contentious when it comes they support you to doing reality check? all the way. yeah, probably. i mean, elections are always times gareth thomas talking to when there‘s a lot of attention on exactly what politicians say — prince a lot of numbers come out harry. in manifestos, and obviously, with us now is ian green the chief executive of the hiv

this election is seen as one of the charity, the terrence higgins trust. thank you for coming in. how much has gareth thomas most important speaking about his for decades. positive diagnosis in september so there‘s been an awful lot shifted the goalposts for you? positive diagnosis in september shifted the goalposts for you ?m to check, and what we try and do has had a massive impact, someone basically is if we see who is a national treasure talking things which we think — where we think politicians very publicly and openly about the have either misspoken, said something that‘s incorrect, fa ct very publicly and openly about the fact they have been living with hiv said something that‘s misleading, for a number of years shifts the we‘ll write about it. narrative. for many people, the do we spot all of them? narrative. for many people, the narrative is stuck in the 19805 no, because there are a lot of them about and there are only so many with the tombstone campaign.” hours in the day. narrative is stuck in the 19805 with the tombstone campaign. i remember it well. things have changed do we get it right all the time? ma55ively since then. possibly it is really not. important people now have that you know, no—one is infallible. up—to—date information about hiv but i think the point is we are trying to hold them and someone up—to—date information about hiv and someone like garrett sain, actually, to account for what they say. and if somebody says something ican someone like garrett sain, actually, i can have a normal life expectancy and then keeps repeating it, because of the treatment i then we will try and go am on, back and say, again, andi "we still think this is wrong. because of the treatment i am on, and i have an undetectable viral we said it last week, load, it is impossible for me to we‘re saying it again now". transmit the virus to someone well, as you‘ve hinted, there are a lot of claims else being thrown around out there, —— someone transmit the virus to someone else —— someone like gareth saying. it so how do you choose is very important we all know which ones to investigate? it‘s partly things which do get repeated. i mean, politicians have their stump that. some of the leaps

speeches, whether it‘s borisjohnson orjeremy corbyn. and bounds made if there are numbers are amazing, as you say, in there which we think clearly don‘t really stand up to scrutiny, those are things in the 30 will we investigate. yea rs, 40 yea rs, so this might be something are amazing, as you say, in the 30 like nurses, or something? years, 40 years, since then. ultimately, might there numbers of nurses, numbers of police officers. and the thing about statistics one day the as well is that you can present them a day that in different ways. so one of the things you can do the terrence higgins is say "we are putting another trust would not need to exist? 20,000 police on the streets," but maybe not mention the fact that we say that, wouldn‘t it be wonderful since — in the last nine years, 20,000 — if we were not needed? the police numbers have gone down by about 21,000. with our so it‘s partly putting collea g u es if we were not needed? with our colleagues at the national aids numbers into context, as well, because numbers don‘t trust, we have established an always tell the whole story. independent hiv commission to look 0k. at what we need to do to make are you happy to say something is a lie, or to call someone a liar? it a reality. i would love to be the last a lot of people get very exercised chief executive of terrence higgins about this on social media. my personal view is it doesn‘t trust. i don't want to put you out actually help that much for us ofajob! 0ne trust. i don't want to put you out to call people liars. of a job! one of the i think what we should do is say, "this is what somebody said. drugs, a couple of a job! one of the drugs, a couple of political parties are talking here is what we believe about making it more available in are the facts of the situation." and i think the audience is smart england, explain what it is and how enough to decide whether somebody it helps. it is is a drug you take lying that stops you acquiring hiv, prep. it is or available on the nhs in not. scotland and ina big

i think me going on, available on the nhs in scotland and in a big trial in wales and there is into a studio like this and pointing a limited trial in england at a politician and saying, "liar, liar, pants on fire" — and i think we have been saying it is that‘s more reality tv really important if we than reality check. it is interesting, because obviously want to and the editorial policy director david jordan has said exactly that — hiv transmission for prep it‘s not the bbc‘s job to be calling to be out politicians as a liar. available. that would be someone well, i don‘t think it is. in and i think that‘s partly available. that would be someone in a committed long—term relationship because i think a lot of what we‘re with someone who has hiv? no, dealing with at the moment — and other people disagree. someone with someone who has hiv? no, someone who may be at risk of hiv, the head of channel 4 has made they can take this tablet the point that we should be calling once a day people liars, dorothy byrne. or intermittently and it will my point is a lot of what we‘re dealing with at the moment is not stop them acquiring hiv. how did necessarily so much lying. it‘s bluster, it‘s smoke screen, the interview come about? fascinating it‘s — i probably can‘t say to the full word on a family show to see two such role models like this, but it‘s bs. having this and the thing about that is it‘s not conversation. how did harry and so much trying to conceal the truth, gareth thomas come together? we have it‘s about not quite caring known prince harry for a number of what the details of the truth are. yea rs known prince harry for a number of years and he has been a great and i think if you start throwing supporter of ours and after gareth around labels like "liar," it almost did the iron man we have been gets in the way of saying it‘s working with gareth over the last really difficult sometimes to pin six months on the palace said, do people down on these things. you have his number that, of course, then raises a whole other question of well, estimate can you is there any point in fact—checking put them together? we help to if they‘re gonna keep saying things? and i think there is a debate facilitate it —— do you have his to be had about how number? it was for hiv testing usefulfact—checking is. but i do think our primary purpose week

when they came together and the has to be to focus on the facts as we see them. film took place, quite a you will know that your fact checks themselves have been disputed magical moment. by some newspaper commentators. absolutely. clearly an empathy is it also the reality that some fact checks are disputable, from harry and the way they‘re not just black—and—white? they can be. there‘s always been political spin, they talked, very warm conversation. yeah, they and so there should be clearly get on very well together in any vibrant democracy. there‘s always gonna be people trying to persuade their part and they both committed to of the electorate that you look continue this work because to have at the numbers and you lean this way, or you look at these numbers and lean that way. two high—profile people allied to our cause will have such a so spin is part of the process. but i do think it‘s massive impact. the leaps and bounds made increased in recent years — that‘s partly because social media here are wonderful but we amplifies everything. partly because also are running out of time but social media means parties can very briefly, can the gains be transferred to places like africa where we see easily sort of put out little bits of video people still struggling with hiv in a or audio, little bits of — which are almost unfiltered. way now, they might say "that‘s good — we did ten, 15, 20 years we can get past the bias ago? yes, of absolutely. the work of the hiv commission, we wanted to have a impact. cannot forget there are the still almost 1 impact. cannot forget there are still almost1 million impact. cannot forget there are still almost 1 million people impact. cannot forget there are still almost1 million people a year dying of aids and it is shocking media". because it is no longer necessary for that to happen. thank you for we would say "actually, it‘s bad, coming in to talk to us. as you because then you can spin it too rightly say,

much without us being able to say — and it‘s ourjob — it is to say ‘we think you‘ve gone too far with this one‘." world aids well, you mentioned day the filter of the media. today. chief executive of the a lot of viewers are concerned that terrence higgins trust. reality check masks a failure that‘s it from us. in the first place by bbc news dan and louise will be back journalists to adequately analyse with you from 6am tomorrow. before reporting enjoy the rest of your weekend. politicians‘ promises. and by the time reality check gets to dealing with them, goodbye. these claims have been out there for several hours. oh, you know, this leader has promised this, and that has not been challenged until you get around to it. i don‘t think any presenter can be expected to be an expert in absolutely everything. so one of the roles i have is to come on after and say "we heard all of that but those numbers there, we don‘t think they were quite right". whether it be a labour claim of you‘re gonna be spending £500 million extra a week on nhs medicines after a trade deal with the united states, or whether it be the tories saying labour‘s spending plan adds up to £1.2 trillion. you know, there are numbers you can dispute, and i think it‘s very difficult for a presenter to interrupt every time somebody

gives a number, otherwise this is bbc news. an interview would never get the headlines: anywhere because, as well as numbers, you do want to hear opinions. the government is reviewing chris morris, thank you. the licence conditions of every thank you for all your comments. convicted terrorist freed from prison — after 0n next week‘s programme — the attack at the last before the general election — we‘ll be speaking to a senior bbc london bridge. executive about the corporation‘s two people, including coverage of the campaign. please do send us your comments 25—year—old jack merritt, were killed in the attack, and questions to put to them, by a man who had been by e—mail or on twitter. you can call us. jailed in 2012 for his and do have a look at our website role in an al-qaeda inspired plot. for previous interviews. that‘s all from us. former wales rugby captain we‘ll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage gareth thomas says he wants breaking again next week. goodbye. the stigma around hiv to be his everlasting legacy in an interview with prince harry to mark world aids day. we know there‘s a hell of a lot to do, but what you have managed to do in the space ofjust six or eight weeks has been transformational. malta‘s richest man is charged with complicity in the murder of investigative journalist daphne ca ruana galizia. joe root returns to form in new zealand, hitting an unbeaten century, as england edge themselves back into the second test

on day three in hamilton. and our sunday morning edition of the papers is at 9:35am — this morning‘s reviewers are sian griffiths, the education editor at the sunday times, and the journalist and author shyama perera. an urgent review of the licence conditions of every convicted terrorist who has been freed from prison has been launched by the government following the attack at london bridge on friday. usman khan, who killed two people hello, this is breakfast and injured three others, with rogerjohnson and tina daheley. before he was shot dead by police, had been released halfway good morning, here‘s a summary of today‘s main stories from bbc news. prayers for the two people killed in the attack near london bridge will be said at services in southwark cathedral this morning. the building went into lockdown

on friday but the dean of the cathedral, the very reverend andrew nunn, says today‘s message is about hope and love. hejoins us now — good morning. thank you very much for speaking with us. can you explain the reaction in your community in the last 48 hours or so? well, initially there was a huge shock. having gone through the attack 2.5 years ago, people never really imagined that the same kind of event could happen again. so people experiencing the horrors of that particular moment, not knowing what was going on. it has reopened people‘s wounds and memories in a way that we never expected. what will you be saying in church this morning? i understand

you have two services? we have at least two services and people will be coming here for a message of hope and preparation for christmas. that is what we will be doing anyway. but in these circumstances, people need to be assured about the goodness thatis to be assured about the goodness that is around, we can sometimes feel overtaken by evil after these type of events. so we will certainly talk about that. but also reflecting on the heroic act we saw on the bridge on friday and also praying forjack merritt and the other person who was killed in that event and those who were injured. people need a sense of hope in these circumstances. you mentioned the heroic act on friday. isn‘t there a feeling that sometimes, especially ina big feeling that sometimes, especially in a big city, people will cost to the other side of the road but that most definitely was not the case here. no. it

is amazing. when we hear about people doing this kind of thing you think what would i do in those circumstances? and as you say, so those circumstances? and as you say, so often londoners can be accused of keeping themselves to themselves. and that can be true but here we saw people reacting in such an almost reckless way in order to protect other people stop so i am in all of what was done, both by the civilians and also by the policeman when they arrived. you mentioned jack merritt, the first victim to be named. i don‘t know whether you have seen any of the tributes to him but the papers this morning full of them. clearly he is a very bright, able and dedicated young man who was giving his life to helping others in terms of prisoner rehabilitation. giving his life to helping others in terms of prisoner rehabilitationm is ironic, isn‘t it, that the very job that he was seeking to do caused his death in the end. yes,

the ideal kind of person to do this work which we still need done. we mustn‘t be put off track in rehabilitating people who have been radicalised in some way. but also other prisoners who we want back in society. but the questions we have to face now is how exactly questions we have to face now is how exa ctly d o questions we have to face now is how exactly do we do that? we must not be put off track by fear either in relation to prisoners but also in relation to how we live in a city. and how we live on alongside people of other faiths and creeds. it is a time for everybody to come together, isn‘t it? time for everybody to come together, isn't it? we found that after the last london bridge attack. the relationship with our local mosque improved greatly. people of faith have much more in common, more in common than we sometimes imagine. so we have been working with the local muslim community and we will continue to do so. we share a lot from our in curtains of faith and we

are all committed to peace. people who say they act in the name of religion, most often are not. and a final thought on what you touched on there, how is your community moving on. it will take a bit of work. there are people now who are feeling fea rful there are people now who are feeling fearful of living here. someone said to us yesterday that they are thinking of moving away. that is exactly what we do not want to happen. we need to stay strong together, celebrating diversity, celebrating the kind of life that we are able to live in this wonderful pa rt are able to live in this wonderful part of london. in the cathedral community will help people to do just that. thank you so much for speaking to us this morning. 635 now time now for some sport.

day three for the second test in england and joe root is back! back to his best. with the pressure on root notjust to guide england back to a position of strength in this second test — but to end his own poor run of form, for example this week he dropped out of the top ten of the budding ranking since for the first time since august 2014. 0vernight, however he scored a century. he is back. he has also guided the team back. he has also guided the team back to a position of strength. the captain has really struggled with the bat recently — just his second hundred in the last year. 0pener rory burns also got a century as rain stopped play with england 269 for five. 106 runs behind new zealand. to the premier league now and it‘s only the start of december, but you get the feeling that manchester city can already feel their title slipping away.

that‘s because liverpool extended their lead at the top of the table to 11 points, and equalled their longest ever unbeaten run. adam wild wraps up the action. around and feel there is a sense that something special is happening. this solidarity song is familiar but the season starts to feel different. still there still is work to be done. and they said about it with little fuss. two for him and liverpool were in charge until the second half. the gold keeper handling the ball outside the box and the keeper red carded. his replacement soon left red—faced. and the keeper red carded. his replacement soon left red-faced. 0h, my goodness me. what a brilliant piece of quick thinking!‘ piece of quick thinking! a scare for liverpool but no more than that. the boys threw everything on the pitch.

i love that. it is unbelievable how much they want to win and so it made ita much they want to win and so it made it a special win. made all the more special because they had already seen the reigning champions falter. manchester city may have felt that the brilliance of kevin would be enough. but newcastle‘s equaliser, the second of the game, would all they may draw. at tottenham, the new manager is still busy introducing himself. he is winning admirers. this made it three. they pulled a couple back at winning start continues. down at the bottom, dark days for watford and southampton. the bottom two with flashes of hope that it was the saints who eventually stole the show. james ward prowess with a stunner.

it been 17 years since west ham last won the chelsea. time to savour the moment. aaron with the only goal of the game, a lesson in perseverance, personified by david martin. the west ham goalkeeper making his debut at the age of 33. the son of a club legend, alvin martin. for him, the wind was special indeed. there are four more premier league games today including arsenal‘s first game since unai emery was sacked. we also had the draw for euro 2020 last night, with england in a group with croatia, the czech republic and one of the play—off winners. you might remember that it was croatia who broke english hearts at last year‘s world cup, beating them in the semi—final. england could come up against scotland if they manage to get through the play—offs in march. i think there are eight or ten top

nations if you look at the history of the championships. so many different winners and many teams prepare their squads for the world cup and they build after world cups. their margins are really fine. wales are in a group with italy, switzerland and turkey. they‘ve got some travelling to do too — they play their first two group games in the capital of azerbaijan, baku, before going to rome to play italy. at this stage they are all tough games. switzerland are a good team andi games. switzerland are a good team and i watched their progress with the republic of ireland and denmark and a talented team. yeah, turkey arena group with france as well and iceland so it has come from that. they have done well and italy are fantastic of course, winning every game. it will be tough. northern ireland and the republic are in the play—offs and if they do qualify, they will avoid the group of death. that‘s group f, which is made up of the world champions france, the european champions portugal, and germany.

there were some wry smiles as that group was drawn in bucharest. the final race in the f1 season takes place in abu dhabi later. lewis hamilton has already won the world title, and will start today‘s race in pole position. mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas and red bull‘s max verstappen will start second and third respectively. northern ireland‘s carl frampton is back to his winning ways after dominating his fight against tyler mccreary in las vegas overnight. frampton floored the american twice en route to a dominant points it was his first bout since losing an ibf world featherweight title challenge against england‘s josh warrington last december — and tees up another world title shot for the jackal in 2020. wayne pivac began his reign as wales coach with an entertaining win over the barbarians in cardiff. former wales coach warren gatland was in charge of the baa—baas,

but it was wales who dominated. ken owens and josh adams both scored two tries each in the 43—33 win. but the fact that they conceded five leaves pivac with plenty to think about ahead of next year‘s six nations. in the premiership, northampton saints completely outclassed leicester tigers in their east midlands derby. matt proctor scored a first half brace on debut to set up the win which sends saints top of the table. and in the pro14, leinster beat glasgow warriors 23-10. two tries from cian kelleher were the difference between the sides. all the results from the premiership and the pro 14 are on the bbc sport website. ronnie 0‘sullivan is through to the third round of the uk championship after a routine victory in york. this time it was china‘s tian pengfei on the end of another ruthless display from the reigning champion. 0‘sullivan has lifted the trophy in at the barbican centre more times than anyone else, and

is aiming for his third title in a row. it‘s the final day of the trampoline, tumbling & dmt world championships in tokyo. and there‘s another medal for great britain elliott brown powered his way to silver in the men‘s tumbling final after his second pass scored high on difficulty — to place second in this event for the second year in a row. his team—mate jaydon paddock placed fifth. that is unbelievable. so the runway isa that is unbelievable. so the runway is a trampoline? no. they are all different events. there is a double mini trampoline and that is the tumbling which is what we saw then. my tumbling is very different to that. the power to keep doing those tumbles, that‘s why i thought it was a trampoline. it used to be known as power tumbling which i

think, that is what it is, isn't it? let's have a look at it again. it is amazing. off a look at it again. it is amazing. off we go. you would think it would run out of power but look at that! how do you stop? if i built up the kind of momentum i go through the door. so clever and so talented. and the mini trampoline bit? they are to smaller trampolines. we have the women's final as well. if you want to watch it is remarkable. it is live on the bbc website right now. it is so entertaining. i always wa nted it is so entertaining. i always wanted a trampoline growing up but never got one. that me. when we leave here later let's have a go, we will tumble out the door. thank you very much. let‘s have

a look now at the weather. sarah is with us this morning. an icy start everywhere this morning. good morning to you. particularly cold across the northern half of the country. further south a little bit of cloud. below freezing for much of scotland, northern ireland, northern england. just about above freezing further south. certainly some frost around this morning to content with, but also mist and fog patches as well. todayis also mist and fog patches as well. today is looking mostly dry and pretty sunny. not dry across the board. we are still in this cold air. the mild air with the cloud and rain we had yesterday in the south—west is clearing down towards france was not we are into the blue colours, the cold air mass, with an area of high pressure keeping things mostly dry. 0ne area of high pressure keeping things mostly dry. one or two showers around this morning, apps parts of southern england, east anglia, and fog patches in the midlands, northern england. 0ne fog patches in the midlands, northern england. one or two coastal showers for north—east england, parts of northern ireland, and the

north—east of scotland. inland, most places r looking dry. the mist and fog patches are slowly lifting and clearing away. a lot of blue sky, a lot of sunshine as we move into the afternoon. mainly fairly light winds, but it will be breezy around some coastal parts of northern scotla nd some coastal parts of northern scotland and eastern england in particular. here are the top temperatures we are likely to see today. pretty chilly. around three degrees in edinburgh. nine towards plymouth. as we in the day we have clear skies, a cold, starry night ahead. temperature is dipping down quickly again, but it lit was the southern half of the uk. that is where we will see the laws of the temperatures denied. further north, cloud and spots of drizzle pushing on. keeping temperatures not quite as cold as they were last night —— tonight. additionally for england and wales. into tonight, high pressure, you can see the cold blue air mass with us. we have mild air starting to move on from the north—west with the arrival of some weather fronts. that will bring patchy rain to parts of scotland,

just pushing eastward through the course of the day. cloudier scotland and northern ireland. much of england wales keep with the blue skies early morning mist and fog please away. temperatures tomorrow between about 6— 10 degrees. a touch milder, especially because the northern half of the uk, then it is out there today. we still have high pressure, especially holding on in the south as we head on into tuesday. slightly breezy conditions towards the north—west where we have got weather fronts approaching. we have got those light winds and clear skies that is the recipe for fairly dense fog, especially across southern england first thing tuesday. that fog should slowly start to lift into low cloud and burn away through the day. looking ata dry burn away through the day. looking at a dry day on tuesday with sunny spells. breezy in the north—west. temperatures are still rather chilly. 6—11 agrees for most of us on tuesday. we do hold onto the chillier theme to start the working week. from mid week onwards we will start to see something a little milder and more unsettled. for the next three days, cold and frosty.

watch out for those fog patches. sarah, thank you very much. pretty much what you would expect for the first of december. i guess you are right. winter is here. we‘ll be back with the headlines at seven o‘clock. now it‘s time for click. i lost my sight seven years ago. navigating the world can feel like a huge challenge, even with my gorgeous guide dog, 0lga. i usually use my guide dog willow to get around, but today, we‘re trying out a new device — the wewalk smart cane. i think 0lga‘s a bit confused with the cane. laughs. the device has a round sensor to detect obstacles.

i‘ve paired it with my smartphone and airpods to send me directions. so my airpods pick up the information from my phone and the navigation system reads it out to me. when we got there it said, "starbucks now on your right". and, yeah... by then we could smell it anyway, couldn‘t we? when i was using the cane, it was always vibrating. that‘s buzzing a lot. is it? yep. yeah, the buzzing got really quick. so i knew that i was in front of something that was quite a large obstacle. this might be an improvement for some cane users, but personally, i‘ve found the feedback slightly overwhelming. i could imagine it could probably get quite difficult to detect what‘s important and what‘s not important. i was excited to show maisy an app named microsoft soundscape that uses 3d sound to point you in the right direction. you can hear the sound as if it‘s around you and it‘s like you‘re

in the software almost. phone: facing south-west along world piazza. when you‘re tuned in to the app, it will name nearby shops and restaurants. it even highlights what‘s on the pavement. is there bike parking in front of us? 0ne useful tool is the ability to set an audio beacon, say, if you want to find your local supermarket... 65 metres west. it‘s making this tip—tap sound. tapping sounds help guide us in the right direction, although we did manage to walk past the shop door. i think you don‘t quite believe that it‘s to the right of you. at least we had our guide dogs to help us find the entrance. at home, some of the simplest tech can actually be the most useful. beeping. but big tech companies, like apple, google and amazon are also trying to make their technology better for people like me.

most of the time, i use my smartphone and apple watch. it‘s so great that it can connect to my apple tv and you can get it to play your favourite moments. lots of smart speakers now have audiobook services. one new and particularly unusual audiobook is called unseen. it‘s the first ever audio comic book. when you hear this sound... that is so cool. cover — the word "unseen" in bold letters. 0h, amazing! no—one ever does that — that‘s the typeface... describing the pictures and each panel, which is the big part of comic books. i can‘t wait for unseen‘s creator, chad allen, to release the next segment. i don't know who the hell you are... imitates: i do not know who the hell you are! i was also excited to try a new device from bristol braille technology. this device that i have in front of me is called the canute and this is the very

first ever several—line braille display. it sounds like a typewriter! using buttons at the base of the device, you can upload books, pdfs and documents. the multi—line layout is great forfeeling diagrams. it‘s an easier and quicker way to read. that‘s nice that you can use something like this and not have audio on, constantly all the time. are we reading braille? yes. i was even more impressed with the next device we tried — a pair of 0rcam smartglasses. these use a camera and artificial intelligence to read the text around you. and you can use touch, voice and gesture commands to change its settings. so what are you doing, maisie? so i have a magazine and if i point ata line... reads: i always say that there are... it‘s

reading it! we surprised maisy with a book from one of her favourite authors. kaitlyn dunnett. cool! the 0rcam tells you the time. the time is 3:29pm. yay! and can name who is standing in front of you. of course, i wanted to see if we could get it to recognise maisy. the device does this by remembering the unique points of a person‘s face, a bit like a map. maisy. oh, yeah! high five, blind girl high five. we also tried a new feature — the ability to scan food product barcodes. this was a hit. tomato cup—a—soup! remember to hold your item about a foot above the counter top. alexa, what am i holding? i was really excited to test the new amazon echo show feature. you hold a food item in front of the screen camera and move it around until the device tells

you what the item is. it was difficult knowing whether the item was centre screen, and this threw up some less—than—accurate results. show me another side. it looks like vanilla coca cola... oh, my god. that‘s cool. i have done that so many times — like, i‘ve picked up cherry diet coke by mistake. yeah! we also have been told that that wasn‘t vanilla coca—cola and just regular coca—cola. you would have to really nail getting your snapshots correct to find this useful. it was so great to try all the technology throughout the day. the wider the choice of tech, the better for everyone. not everything today was a complete success, but the impact that blind tech can have continues to surprise me. i‘m really excited about the future of accessibility tech. some fantastic innovations there, spen, and one thing becoming clear in this programme isjust how much is out there enabling people to be more empowered and

to live more independently. and for people with learning disabilities, for example, there are plenty of innovations to help them do just that. paul has been to meet someone for whom the internet of things is helping to make life just that little bit more easy. this is adam. adam has down syndrome and lives in his own home, which includes some specially designed technology to allow him to live more independently. here he is using a tablet that contains a range of bespoke applications to help him with tasks in everyday life. in this instance, cooking. so can you show me what you‘ve got on here, adam? app: sift three cups of plain flour into a big mixing bowl.

make a well in the centre of the flour. it shows step—by—step instructions with pictures. but the technology goes much further than just recipes. it‘s part of a project called connected living — a partnership between the learning disability charity mencap and telecoms company vodafone. the platform utilises a range of technologies bundled together under one roof — literally. app: i am afraid. from smart home devices and iot—based sensors to more simple reminders, to—do lists and instructions. a lot of it is stuff that quite a lot of people are familiar with. smart lighting is not a particularly new concept, smart locks are not a particularly new concept, but what we have done is we have packaged it altogether and put it into this user interface which has been tailored very specifically so it is user—friendly and it is intuitive to use. we started off with a very, very long list of things — these can be quite small things — but things that people might want to achieve and then we gave the list to vodafone and we said "what are the technological solutions to that?" we whittled it down to the things

we felt and we heard were most commonly going to be of importance to people. technology is in all our lives, really, at the moment nowadays and will continue to be so, so we want to make sure people with learning disabilities are not disadvantaged by not being able to access technology. it is designed to be customisable to each individual user, with the hardware and software tailored to their needs and personal abilities. app: i am thirsty. the platform blends smart home technologies with things adam can use outside the home too, such as video calling a support worker if he needs assistance, or as a communication aid. hi there, you all right? yeah, you? good. what would you do with the options on this screen?

ok, so you can tell them where you want to go. which are your favourite? what do you like to do the most? app: let's go to the pub. sounds good to me. is that good? do you like that? laughter. that‘s good! we like tech too! there are 4.1 million people in the uk with learning disabilities who could use this, but also there are wider applications. if you think about people who go into homes as they get older, they still want to be independent, they still need their flexibility, this can help them. you and i, we want to be independent, we want to do our own thing and actually, if technology can help people to do that, then it means that you have greater control, you are feeling more independent, and the amount of confidence that has really increased in people is fantastic. most importantly of all, though, how does adam feel about his

smart connected home? supported, yeah. mmm, supported. that was adam and his mum. truly, truly lovely stuff. and we will continue to keep across all of this area of inclusive design and technology throughout the year, as we always do on click. this is the short version of this week‘s click. the full version is waiting for you right now on iplayer. in it, you can see paul in iceland, looking at the design, manufacture and testing of the iconic prosthetic running blade. in the meantime, you can contact us with your thoughts of what you‘ve seen on instagram, youtube, twitter and facebook. thanks very much for watching and we will see you soon.

good morning welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and tina daheley. 0ur headlines today. the ministry ofjustice launches an urgent review of the licence conditions of all terrorists freed from prison — after the attack at london bridge. two people,

including 25—year—old jack merritt, were killed in the attack by convicted terrorist usman khan — the victims will be remembered at church services this morning. former wales rugby captain gareth thomas tells prince harry he wants breaking the stigma around hiv to be his ‘everlasting legacy‘ in an interview to mark world aids day. joe root finds some form in new zealand. he hits an unbeaten century, as england edge themselves back into the second test on day three in hamilton. a cold and frosty start for many of us a cold and frosty start for many of us but watch out for mist and fog patches this morning. i will bring you the details in 15 minutes. the government is reviewing the licence conditions of every convicted terrorist who has been freed from prison, in the wake of the attack at london bridge. two people were fatally stabbed on friday by a man who had been jailed in 2012 for his role in an al-qaeda inspired plot. john mcmanus

is on london bridge for us this morning. iam i am very close to london bridge which you can see behind me as dawn approaches. buses and private cars still where they were halted by police on friday afternoon during that frightening incident. the investigation is still happening there and in staffordshire where usman khan lived. and at the heart of this, three people are in hospital, to in a stable condition. and two people dead. running across london bridge, members of the public pursuing usman khan, determined to stop his stabbing spree. moments before, he had attacked people at a rehabilitation conference inside fishmongers‘ hall. as armed police arrived, the realisation that khan is wearing what appears to be an explosives vest.

moments later, he is shot dead. yesterday, one of his victims was named. 25—year—old jack merritt who had been working at the conference. paying tribute to his son, david merritt called him a beautiful spirit who always took the side of the underdog. jack was originally from cambridge and on saturday, a vigil was held there to remember all those caught up in the incident. as the investigation into friday‘s attack continues, properties in stoke—on—trent and stafford have been searched and the government says it has launched an urgent review into the license conditions under which convicted terrorists are freed from jail. there are thought to be around 70 such people but police have indicated that usman khan had obeyed the conditions of his

license. a little more information about the ministry ofjustice review. it is not just because ministry ofjustice review. it is notjust because the government thinks there is a specific threat associated with the around 70 convicted terrorists who are out from jail, but because usman khan was in the same situation and managed to commit this crime on friday, they want to make sure the situation —— it is working. friday, they want to make sure the situation -- it is working. we saw incredible acts of avery from members of the public. you were there. what happened as events unfolded? it was extremely confusing at around two o‘clock on friday. i was on one side of the bridge and i saw what i thought was a fight going on among several people. like a pylon. we now know that that was members of the public who chased usman khan from fishmonger‘s hall and tried to stop him getting further down the bridge. that is important because most people on the bridge including myself had no idea

that stabbings had occurred. they we re that stabbings had occurred. they were completely unaware of any of that. if usman khan had gotten further down the bridge he would have probably attacked more people and most of us would be completely unaware until he was right on top of us. unaware until he was right on top of us. the man who got involved, and detained him until the police arrived, meant that there were fewer casualties than they may have been. election campaigning is expected to resume fully from tomorrow following a more muted tone this weekend in light of friday‘s terror attack. it‘s now just 12 days until voters go to the polls. we can speak now to our political correspondent susana mendonca who is in our london newsroom. in the wake of what happened on london bridge on friday, today both the conservatives and labour focusing on security. very much so. from the conservatives as you heard there in that report he spoke about there in that report he spoke about the review of the license

conditions. also we will hear from the prime minister borisjohnson today about longer sentencing. this is something that the conservatives have spoke of the four but has a renewed focus considering the events on friday. we will hear the prime minister talking about how those who have committed the most serious terror offences should serve a minimum term of 14 years, something thatis minimum term of 14 years, something that is not in the conservative ma nifesto, that is not in the conservative manifesto, and what they have talked about is the automatic release system ending. that is something they want to do. with the labour party, jeremy corbyn also talking about security today. he will give a speech on that and say you cannot keep people safe on the cheap and will refer to the years of austerity and cuts to services and police and in contribution that may have made to what we have seen in the last few days. he will also try and allay the fears peoples may have about his approach, saying that lee full force is the right approach to take you see someone is the right approach to take you see someone who is the right approach to take you see someone who may is the right approach to take you see someone who may be wearing a suicide vest. what are the other

things labour will discuss today? they are talking about the nhs today and that is one of their key election selling points. and they will talk about gp appointments and saying that there are 6 million patients who waited more than two weeks for a gp appointment in 0ctober weeks for a gp appointment in october and they say that the numbers of trained gps have also dropped since 2015, gone down by 1600. the conservatives say that if you look at it in terms of the way they measure it including those training to be gps, the numbers have actually increased by 400. so some discrepancy there over how those figures are measured. but for labour, the nhs is one of those things that they think they can really sell their message on this election. hundreds of people have been woken up overnight by a loud bang across north london and hertfordshire. social media users reported hearing the noise from london, up to luton and stevenage, and even as

far as cambridge. the metropolitan police has since tweeted it was a sonic boom from planes that were launched from raf coningsby in lincolnshire. it‘s thought they were responding to a perceived threat from a plane that wasn‘t responding to radio communications. it later re—established contact and police say there is no cause for concern. the former wales rugby captain, gareth thomas, says he wants his lasting legacy to be about raising awareness of hiv. he revealed he was hiv positive earlier this year, and has spoken to the duke of sussex about breaking the stigma of the virus in an interview released by the terrence higgins trust to mark world aids day. and i‘ll tell you what i feel like. and this is the truth, mate. i always felt that my life was to play rugby and to represent wales, which i did with all the passion i have, right.

but i actually feel that my rugby gave me the platform to actually to do what i‘m doing now. and i believe what i do now, like what i do now is really what i care about. because there‘s not many people from a simple life like i‘ve come from who could have the power to change other people‘s lives. that‘s, like... it‘s the first of december today and the spirit of christmas has already arrived in the birth place of jesus. yes, the christmas tree in bethlehem has been lit up as part of an annual ceremony in the city‘s manger square. it sits outside the church of the nativity, where christians believejesus was born. the ceremony coincides with the beginning of advent and reminds us — there‘s now just less than three weeks until christmas. and you have a fun fact about the tree? for many years it was built or decorated by a team of people from

liverpool, a liverpudlian company. i presume they are still doing the job. strictly come dancing‘s karim zeroual and amy dowden have landed the first perfect score of this year‘s series. applause. these moves are terrific. the children‘s tv presenter and his professional partner were awarded 40 points for their performance to you can‘t stop the beat from hairspray with a jive branded the "best ever seen" by the judges. the results of the quarter finals will be on bbc one tonight at 7:20pm. safe to say that i think they will get through. i think so too. what is moves! but where do you go from there? what is better than 40? good morning if you havejustjoined us this morning. let‘s bring you more on our main story. the ministry ofjustice has launched

an urgent review of the licence conditions of every convicted terrorist who has been freed from prison in the wake of the attack at london bridge. two people were killed and three were injured by usman khan — who was a convicted terrorist who served half of his time. to talk more about this is the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, jonathan hall qc, who joins us from london. good morning. the blame game has begun now. we hear many claims and counterclaims, particularly from politicians about this sentence. why somebody convicted of terrorism charges was released. can you help our audience understand some of the legislation relevant? why was he given an indeterminate sentence that was then replaced by a fixed term sentence but he only had to serve half of it? it is important to start by saying that the law has now changed. the law that applied to usman khan is now

different. he was originally given a sentence called detention for public protection. he was just detention for public protection. he wasjust under 21 detention for public protection. he was just under 21 so he detention for public protection. he wasjust under 21 so he had a special sentence which meant he could only be released if the parole board said he was safe to be released. he then appealed the sentence and he was in fact one of a large number of men involved in terrorist offences, one group of these men had not been given these sort of sentences and he had. the court of appeal felt that there was disparity and that they were being treated unequally. if one group was given one sentence and the other one wasn‘t. so they adjusted the sentence and imposed what they called an determinant sentence on usman khan. at that stage, the law was that you had to be released at the halfway stage. he was released and he was released on licence, the parole board had nothing to do with it. in 2012, after the offence that

he was convinced that of, the law did change and it said that you could then only be released from these sorts of long sentences if the pa role these sorts of long sentences if the parole board said so after a two—thirds point. parole board said so after a two-thirds point. the prime minister said this weekend it is a mistake to let violent offenders out halfway through their sentence, especially where terrorism is concerned. labour have raised issues of cuts to probation and parole services. does the law need to change? to deal with the risk of terrorism and other sentences the right course of action? i think it is important to note that the sort of individual one dealing with usman khan is difficult to stop. he was an old generation jihad is, involved in a classic al qaeda plot involving many people. u nfortu nately qaeda plot involving many people. unfortunately that luckily that was intercepted. what he did a few days ago it was a new generation, low

sophistication attack, not necessarily, it does not seem that anyone else was involved. those are difficult to detect and to prevent. evenif difficult to detect and to prevent. even if he was under strict conditions and he was, as we know, under licence conditions that included a tad, those things are difficult to stop. so we should be cautious about saying that there are measures that would have definitely prevented this from happening. at the moment, what there are is that there are a number of ways one can deal with it. there are licence conditions, requiring people to report to probation or where a tag on those can last up to five years in the case of this nature. then you have the obligation to keep the police aware of your phone, your vehicles, where you live. there are other measures that could be used as well and judges do have the power when they sentence you all later on, to make what are called serious crime prevention orders. they are rarely used but they can be used to stop terrorist offenders from going on the internet for a period of up

to five years even after release and in cases where it is not possible to use the criminaljustice system there are also administrative measures that can use secret evidence in courts which allow judges to set very strong conditions, for example, preventing people from reaching certain areas or staying at home during long periods of time during the day. those are available but are only rarely used. it is important that they are available because as this case shows, there are a group of people, whether it is offenders who have been released from long—term sentences who have not changed their views, it could be people who simply have not gone through the criminal justice system at all who have previously been in controlled areas who may return to the uk who are hardened and risky. and it is important those measures are available full there are a range of measures available at the moment. the key issue is assessing risk.

how do you assess risk at the point of sentencing and at the point of release‘s that‘s the crucial question. the way criminaljustice works is you look at the evidence available and that is public. at the moment, the criminaljustice system applies to terrorist as to any other offender. however, it is difficult forjudges to determine risk because they won‘t necessarily be looking at all the secret information that perhaps lies behind investigation. there is a question of sentencing judges or to see more of the information, but that raises difficult issues, because the way the criminal justice difficult issues, because the way the criminaljustice system works it is done openly and the defendant is able see everything upon which he is sentenced. the alternative is when they are released, the parole board has access to more sensitive intelligence. there is a mechanism for that to be done. it‘s not frequently done, but parole board ‘s could see secret intelligence, if the police have it or m15 habit, and

they are willing to share it. i think one of the difficulties is that when people reach the end of the sentences they may well have been simply in custody. it may not been simply in custody. it may not be that they have been plotting with people, there may not be a huge amount of intelligence that is available. it is only when they go into the community you can see whether they are or are not a risk. a lot of people are focusing on who‘s to blame here. going forward you obviously need to balance preventing attacks. this attack was unsophisticated and therefore difficult to predict and prevent, as you said. it also the right of offenders to rehabilitate. is the balance right at the moment and can we stop this type of attack from happening again? welcome on the first point, the fact that one of the people who intervene very bravely was a murderer and, obviously, this doesn‘t detract from what he did at all, but there was a redeeming side his character —— well, on the first point. there is a

solution if you want to lock people up solution if you want to lock people up and throw away the key. at the moment there is only one sort of offence that leads to an automatic life sentence and that is murder. even with motor there is a possibility of release. it is open that certain terrorists should have automatic life sentences. even then there will be decisions about releasing people. in terms of protection, i think it is worth emphasising, again this is no consolation to the victims, that these sorts of incidents are still comparatively rare. the difficulty is, as you‘ve said and i‘ve said, these sorts of incidents are very difficult to detect and to prevent, because they don‘t require a huge amount of sophistication. and the opportunities for the security services to find out that someone is about to do that are more limited, because we‘re not talking about a large plot that involving communication between different countries or groups of individuals. thank you very much. jonathan hall, qc, joining us. if you are heading out and about this morning you may need to wrap up warm. sarah is with us need to wrap up warm. sarah is with us with the weather forecast. an icy

start in most places. it is. good morning to you. a cold start to the first day of meteorological winter. a day for getting out the scarves and gloves as well. lots of blue sky around. frost underfoot for many of us, especially in the north. not quite as cold further south. mostly dry and sunny. you could get one or two showers out there today, not dry across the board. we have this cold air mass with us. you can see the blue colours on the map. yesterday‘s mild air in the south and south—west cleared away, high pressure keeping things largely dry. some roadshow is out there. parts of southern england, east anglia, fog is an issue as well. we have some dense fog patches here and there. wanted to showers for northern ireland, north—east england, around the north of scotla nd north—east england, around the north of scotland as well. but in that things look dry and sunny. mist and fog slowly clearing away through the course of the day to leave blue skies into the afternoon. just the job putting apart —— across parts of

east anglia and the barthau these early this afternoon. light winds for most of us. breezy around some xhosa times. temperatures on the chilly side, 3—9d for most of us out there today. as we head through into there today. as we head through into the evening and overnight, light winds and clear skies for most areas. the recipe for another cold night, especially across england and wales. more cloud and patchy rain working in across parts of northern ireland and for scotland. canberra does not quite as low as they were last night. quite a sharp frost —— temperatures. a subzero start your working week. high pressure holds on for monday. the blue colour still with us. a change from the north—west. slightly mild air and weather fronts working in, particularly parts of scotland. there will be ran across the west of scotla nd there will be ran across the west of scotland on monday, that works is with across scotland during the day. northern ireland fairly cloudy. 0ne or two spots of drizzle through the course of the morning. england and wales staying dry after a cold, frosty start with mist

and fog. should be more sunshine during the afternoon. temperatures not as cold as today in the north, but still a chilly day for the south. high pressure with us as we head on into tuesday. but it is just drifting away towards near continent. we have more isobars pushing in. breezy in the north—west. for southern england we have light winds and clear skies thatis we have light winds and clear skies that is the recipe for dense fog patches. there could be slow to clear for a patches. there could be slow to clearfor a time on patches. there could be slow to clear for a time on tuesday, especially in the south. further north we have more of a breeze and a little more cloud for the north—west of scotland. we are looking at a dry day across the board on tuesday and again some sunshine after a cold, frosty, and foggy start. temperatures 6— seven for most of us. temperatures 6— seven for most of us. double figures in the south—west. after that cold, frosty start, things will turn milder. some rain in the north and west. many of us rain in the north and west. many of us back into double figures for the coming week. enjoy that chris, wintry, but frosty and sunny weather today. active stop thank you very

much. the reverend sally hitchener is here to tell us what‘s caught her eye. good morning. good morning. your churches that might in the field in london. what happened on london bridge on friday very much in your thoughts. i live on trafalgar square. the experience of many people in london is shock, but for a lot of people, i was on 0xford street, people were carrying on a christmas shopping, is black friday, all sorts of things going on this weekend. think one of the important things for londoners is that londoners did something. there was a community response in that moment that a group of people help to stop it. it wasn‘t just the wonderful police forces we have but the community itself responded. we heard that an hour or so ago. there is a service happening today

in a cathedral. london itself is responding. there is this energy that we are not helpless in the face of terrorist attacks, we can gather together as a community, supporting people following this terrible attacks. but also when they happen people are courageous and gather together in groups and try to make a difference. what we see with jack merritt, one of the victims, is someone merritt, one of the victims, is someone who really dedicated his life to caring for others. i‘ve just stopped working as a university chaplain and there were so many in his generation, even though job prospects and all sorts of things are much harderfor their generation, they are committing their lives do not just generation, they are committing their lives do notjust earning the most money possible, but genuinely trying to help and be part of a solution. that gives me a lot of hope. think it would be easy to have dark views today with all the risks we are facing. there is a lot of hope that as well. he is 25 and obviously a bright and shining staff. christmas appeals you

wanted to highlight. yes. today is the day for christmas appeals. in the times and telegraph we have opportunities to not just buy and telegraph we have opportunities to notjust buy presents for friends and family, but actually tried to give something back to the community to try to help those most in need and they have got great charities to get involved with. also we are launching our big christmas appeal today, working with radio 4 to raise money for people who are homeless across the uk, working with a variety of different charities including a big one in london but also all sorts of places in the uk. if you can, check out either the charities mentioned in the telegraph times or the st martin—in—the—fields christmas appeal on radio 4 today. and do something. i think that‘s really, if you want to do something for the community in face of all the challenges we are facing the risks we are facing, give something back. talking about the weather, it has been so cold overnight. the people who don‘t have anywhere safe and wa nt to who don‘t have anywhere safe and want to sleep, it

must be unbearable. this is a story in the 0bserver unbearable. this is a story in the observer today about homelessness that you have picked out popular genuinely i think this should be front page of every newspaper. 0bviously front page of every newspaper. obviously we are facing a huge amount at the moment. but there has been a 22% increase in the number of people who have died on our streets in the uk between 2017 and 2018. people who have died on our streets in the uk between 2017 and 20mm 2018 there were 720 sick people that we know of who died on our streets. we just we know of who died on our streets. wejust did a we know of who died on our streets. we just did a service we know of who died on our streets. wejust did a service in my we know of who died on our streets. we just did a service in my own church for people who died in london and we had over 120 just in 2019, just this year so far in the winter, over a people just just this year so far in the winter, over a peoplejust in london. just this year so far in the winter, over a people just in londonm that reflecting a rising number of homeless people on the streets? a rising number of homeless people on the streets, more straight in terms of care for people on the streets. the average age of life expectancy for men ebbing on the streets is 46. i don‘t know what you are doing at 46, maybe you are not 46, but actually don‘t make

the challenges, actually, are just actually don‘t make the challenges, actually, arejust more actually don‘t make the challenges, actually, are just more than any charities can cope with. any numbers of losing their homes and charity supporting people to stop them losing their homes are really under strain. 22% increase from 2017 until 2018. we have to do something about this. a lovely story to finish. a very quick look at this. eye will do anything, any amount of stories on kate and william and on mary berry. william once joked that the reason why he is so skinny is because of kate cooking, soap mary berry and nadia hussein have taken both of them, ia nadia hussein have taken both of them, i a good feminist, he should be learning how cook as well, and giving them a bit of cookery lessons and they are raising awareness of some great causes and i think it‘s a great time of year for whoever, even if you are not used to cooking at all, to get into the kitchen, and learn how to make a mince pie.l

great time of year and a great title. a very royal business. thank you. we will have more from you in an hour. plenty of politics in the news today and the andrew marr show will be taking a closer look later. andrew, what‘s coming up today? the prime minister is what‘s on the programme. we will be talking about the dreadful london bridge attack. but also, how can i for this, the condition of the country. why am joined by shami chakrabarti, by took imean joined by shami chakrabarti, by took i mean for the liberal democrats, and ahead of the big nato summit in london where donald trump is coming into town, by ian stoltenberg, the secretary general of nato —— chuka umunna. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with tina daheley and rogerjohnson. good morning. more now on our top story this morning.

the family of jack merritt who was stabbed to death near london bridge, have described him as an ‘exceptional‘ young man. he had been attending a conference on prisoner rehabilitiation —— rehabilitation when usman khan launched his attack. here‘s how family, friends and colleagues have been remembering jack. music plays.

just some of the tributes to jack merritt there. journalistjoshua rozenberg joins us from jerusalem. he interviewed jack for a documentary on his prisoner rehabilitation scheme. good morning, joshua. thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us this morning. i just wonder what your impressions we re just wonder what your impressions were of jack merritt when you met him? a very fine young man, a dedicated man. he has been described as such which he is but he is not a cambridge graduate you might imagine. he lived in cambridge but then went to the university of manchester to do a law degree and back to cambridge to the institute

of criminology to do a masters degree and it was there that he began going into prisons and to learn about prisoners and to realise that he wanted to use his knowledge of the law to help others, to help prisoners and direct law in a practical direction rather than any other. an interesting idea, the way in which you can apply that kind of academic learning into a way that maybe was not a typical route for a trained lawyer. exactly so. an interesting part of what he did was to runa interesting part of what he did was to run a course, run by the institute of criminology and funded by charitable donations the broad cambridge law students into prison so cambridge law students into prison so that cambridge undergraduates and graduates could meet prisoners and prisoners could meet law students. and law students in prison learnt legal skills, and law students in prison learnt legalskills, research, how to and law students in prison learnt legal skills, research, how to find out about the law and

develop the law and undergraduates who may never have seen a prisoner or learnt how to work with them a close hand. and he had a vision that he was committed to helping the law to be used practically and for the betterment of people. explain how this programme that jack was involved with, exactly how it works to the best of your knowledge.” went into a prison in suffolk which is not particularly far from cambridge and regularly students would take a bus from cambridge to the prison and they would go into a classroom that had been constructed inside the prison. i saw this, it is full of law books donated by lawyers and publishers and they were visiting lecturers while i was there and a criminal law commission lecturing to students and prisoners.

the prisoners would research a particular area of law to a high degree with the help of the cambridge students and with the help, of course, of directors like jack and two other academics who were involved in this particular course. and they would learn from each other and the hope was that when some of these prisoners who are serving long sentences were released, as most are, that they would have a better understanding of law and be able to contribute to society. at the same time the stu d e nts society. at the same time the students would meet prisoners would be able to understand what prison was like in the consequences of going to prison and how to work with prisoners and how to improve the justice system. rehabilitation is a key plank of the criminaljustice system in terms of preparing prisoners for release back into the community. there is now

questions about whether that is the right thing to do, when it the right time to release them and what work needs to be done to do it. but i am sure prisoners can be rehabilitated but in the case of people who have been convicted of terror offences it is absolutely critical that mistakes are not made, isn‘t it? it is. and it is worth bearing in mind that the man who murdered jack merritt was on a30 man who murdered jack merritt was on a 30 year supervision system under which he had to report to the authorities and get permission to travel, that sort of thing. but to ta ke travel, that sort of thing. but to take your broader point, most prisoners are going to be released. now usman khan was sentenced to a very long extended sentence, 21 yea rs. very long extended sentence, 21 years. john earlier explained how he was released halfway through the 16 yea rs of

was released halfway through the 16 years of the custodial sentence but most prisoners are released and the obviously, not to release them if they are likely to reoffend, but to prepare business for their release andi prepare business for their release and i think that is one of the things jack was working towards, a way of working to ensure that when prisoners are released that they do good things and we understand that on friday it was former prisoners, a former murderer who helped catch this terrorist and pin him down until the police could get there. see need to look at it from both points of view. of course we do not wa nt to points of view. of course we do not want to see terrorists on the street and we do not want to see murderer is free to murder again. but we need to work out a way of trying to minimise these risks and this case, tragically, it is difficult to do. thank you for talking to us this morning. we are grateful to you. jack merritt‘s photograph is on the front page of many of the newspapers

this morning. stay with us on the bbc news channel as we have more coming up on the london bridge terror attack and world aids day. but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. bye for now.

joe root is back to his best, scoring a century. ever since he was made captain, he has been heavily affected. there was a massive amount of pressure on him in new zealand. with the pressure on root notjust to guide england back to a position of strength in this second test — but to end his own poor run of form. and he‘s hit an unbeaten century on day three. the captain has really struggled with the bat recently — this is just his second hundred in the last year. 0pener rory burns also got a century as rain stopped play with england 269 for 5. 106 runs behind new zealand. to the premier league now and it‘s only the start of december, but you get the feeling that manchester city can already feel their title slipping away. that‘s because liverpool extended their lead at the top of the table to 11 points, and equalled their longest ever unbeaten run. adam wild wraps up the action. around anfield there is a sense that something special is

happening. this solidarity song is familiar but the season starts to feel different. still there still is work to be done. and they set about it with little fuss. two for him and liverpool were in charge until the second half. the goalkeeper handling the ball outside the box and the keeper red carded. his replacement soon left red—faced. oh, my goodness me. what a brilliant piece of quick thinking! a scare for liverpool but no more than that. the boys threw everything on the pitch. i love that. it is unbelievable how much they want to win and so it made it a special win. made all the more special because they had already seen the reigning champions falter. manchester city may have felt that the brilliance of kevin would be enough.

but newcastle‘s equaliser, the second of the game, would earn them a draw. at tottenham, the new manager is still busy introducing himself. he is winning admirers. this made it three. they pulled a couple back at winning start continues. down at the bottom, dark days for watford and southampton. the bottom two with flashes of hope that it was the saints who eventually stole the show. james ward prouse with a stunner. it has been 17 years since west ham last won the chelsea. time to savour the moment. aaron with the only goal of the game, a lesson in perseverance, personified by david martin. the west ham goalkeeper making his debut at the age of 33. the son of a club legend, alvin martin. for him, the

win was special indeed. now you might remember jose mouirnho‘s favourite ball boy — whose quick thinking helped tottenham beat 0lympiakos in the champions league last week. well he‘s finally got to meet the team. callum hynes met harry kane and the rest of the squad yesterday — joining them for their pre—match meal at the stadium ahead of their premier league match against bournemouth before taking up his usual place on the touchline. mourinho says he hoped gesture helped him to make ‘amazing memories‘. there are four more premier league games today including arsenal‘s first game since unai emery was sacked. we also had the draw for euro 2020 last night.. with england in a group with croatia, the czech republic and one of the play—off winners. you might remember that it was croatia who broke english hearts at last year‘s world cup, beating them in the semi—final. england could come up against scotland if they manage to get through the play—offs in march. gareth southgate‘s side

will play all their group matches at wembley. i think there are eight or ten top nations if you look at the history of the championships. so many different winners and many teams prepare their squads for the world cup and they build after world cups. their margins are really fine. wales are in a group with italy, switzerland and turkey. they‘ve got some travelling to do too — they play their first two group games in the capital of azerbaijan, baku, before going to rome to play italy. at this stage they are all tough games. switzerland are a good team and i watched their progress with the republic of ireland and denmark and a talented team. yeah, turkey are in a group with france as well and iceland so it has come from that. they have done well and italy are fantastic of course, winning every game. it will be tough. northern ireland and the republic are in the play—offs and if they do

qualify, they will avoid the group of death. that‘s group f, which is made up of the world champions france, the european champions portugal, and germany. there were some wry smiles as that group was drawn in bucharest. that is a terrified face. the final race in the f1 season takes place in abu dhabi later. lewis hamilton has already won the world title, and will start today‘s race in pole position. red bull‘s max verstappen will start second and charles leclerc in third for ferrari. northern ireland‘s carl frampton is back to his winning ways after dominating his fight against tyler mccreary in las vegas overnight. frampton floored the american twice en route to a dominant points victory. it was his first bout since losing an ibf world featherweight title challenge against england‘s josh warrington last december — and tees up another world title shot for the jackal in

2020. wayne pivac began his reign as wales coach with an entertaining win over the barbarians in cardiff. former wales coach warren gatland was in charge of the baa—baas, but it was wales who dominated. ken owens and josh adams both scored two tries each in the 43—33 win. but the fact that they conceded five leaves pivac with plenty to think about ahead of next year‘s six nations. it‘s the final day of the trampoline, tumbling and dmt world championships in tokyo. and there‘s another medalfor great britain. do remember what dmt means? double many trampoline. elliott brown powered his way to silver in the men‘s tumbling final after his second pass scored high on difficulty — to place second in this event for the second year in a row. and it is from a standing position,

thatis and it is from a standing position, that is what impresses me. and he gets faster! and i don't know how he stops. you gather so much momentum you just go straight out the door. earlier on i was tumbling up and down the corridors for ages. i can't leave you did not see it. our director told us to wait for the christmas party... apparently it‘s on camera... so impressive. absolutely incredible. loneliness is a common experience for many older people, but there are new and interesting things happening in communities across britain to try to tackle the problem. yes, one secondary school in plymouth has a regular visitor at lunchtime — 86—year—old cyril pops in for something to eat and a chat with the students. fiona lamdin reports. wintertime is is the time that you sort of get stuck

and you can get lonely, especially when it‘s coming down with rain and then you say oh, i have been in the house for two days and seen no—one. i have been in the house for two days and seen no-one. 86-year-old cyril lives alone after his wife died. people say that if they don‘t go out and meet people, they will not stay long. the thing is to get out and meet people. and cyril is doing just that. with a crowd who are 70 years younger than him. every day, cyril goes out for lunch at his local school. thank you. over the yea rs, local school. thank you. over the years, he has struck up great friendships with many of the teachers and pupils.” friendships with many of the teachers and pupils. i get it good meal every day of the week. i come down here i know the office staff andi down here i know the office staff

and i talk to them, the teachers, and i talk to them, the teachers, and the children or want to talk to me. jp is in the sixth form doing his a levels. the pair look out for each other every day. he saw me struggling trying to get up and he jumps up to put things in the bin for me which is night. you were 18 and cyril is 86. i love to know about the experience that older people have through their lives and to see what they have achieved in their life. i love to speak to people as well. and it is not a new concept. the school in plymouth has been inviting its elderly neighbours for lunch for decades. the school is not just about exams, for lunch for decades. the school is notjust about exams, of course that is important. but to be successful in life you need to talk to people and that includes people of different ages and mindsets to your own and that is what is so special about what we‘re doing

own and that is what is so special about what we're doing here. i it is an important thing to encourage people to accept those people with different ages. i smile at him and when i see him with other students, talking to him ijust know that he is not lonely or by himself and that makes me happy. you go out and because the day down so you don‘t just sit here and listen to music or doing odd jobs. 0therwise just sit here and listen to music or doing odd jobs. otherwise it would be just you sat down between the four walls. with the christmas holidays fast approaching, the school kitchens have already promised to make cyril extra batches of hastie‘s and sausage rolls and apple crumble. it's it‘s a great idea. it's a great idea. it's a lovely idea. i used spent a lot of time with my great aunt and a observer —— absorbed a lot of information and history. there is so much that needs to be told. life

expense, wisdom. is a great idea. shall we look at the weather forecast? a cold start of the morning full up that is not outside. it is not bright like that. the sun not quite up. bellwether watches are out about taking pictures. for the next hit a promise you a sparkling, frosty, whether watcher picture —— weather watchers. we have clear skies and it has been a cold night, particularly across the northern half of the uk. that‘s what we have a sharp frost. not quite as cold further south, but today a largely dry day with some sunshine on stop we are all in a cold ms yesterday we had mild air with cloud and rain in the south—west. that is pushing away towards the south. we have the blue colours with us and high pressure dominating. mostly dry conditions. a few roadshow is here and there. across parts of southern england and east anglia this morning. an some fog to watch out for. a few showers also for northern ireland, northern scotland, and the north—east of england over the next few hours.

fairly breezy around the coast. later winds inland. the mist and fog lifting to low cloud and then breaking up and burning away. plenty of sunshine come this afternoon. perhaps one or two of those roadshow was pushing through east anglia towards the far south—east and we will continue to see one or two passing showers motors quite breezy across the north of scotland. temperature today, six or seven degrees for most. three in edinburgh. a chilly filter the weather across parts of scotland and the north—east of england stop into this evening and tonight, showers clear away from the south—east. we have more cloud and patchy rain working in across northern ireland and particularly for scotland. temperatures not quite as low as they were last night with more cloud around. further south across england and wales, sharp frost once again tonight. into monday, still high pressure, the blue colours for the cold air mass for most of us. you can see the orange colours, mild air working into the north—west with the arrival of some weather fronts. that will bring more cloud to scotland and northern ireland. patchy rain

initially for the western isles and then putting it with across scotland through the day. further south, england and wales, dry day with light winds once again full up frost and fog for the morning. that‘s a clear away. temperatures tomorrow a little bit milder than they are today, 6— 10 degrees through the day tomorrow. we have still got high pressure with us as we have three monday and into tuesday. but it is just starting to think away towards the near continent, allowing more isobars in the near continent, allowing more isoba rs in france the near continent, allowing more isobars in france to move in from the north—west. these in the north—west. further south we are expecting quite a lot of fog, but equally across southern england, think, through tuesday morning. it could be quite slow to level one or two places. it could lingerfor much of the day. a dry day and wants any mist faure clues away tuesday will bring us more of that wintry sunshine. temperatures still in the mid— single figures on tuesday. still feeling quite chilly at this stage. a dry day. think further ahead into the coming week, things eventually turning farther and more u nsettled. eventually turning farther and more unsettled. many of us back into double figures by about thursday. a bit of rain especially in the north

and west. but for the here and now watch out for some fog patches, but crisp wintry sunshine to be enjoyed today. thank you very much. anyone driving this morning will have to scrape the highs of the windscreen for sure. —— ice. now on breakfast, it‘s time for the travel show. we are starting off in iceland this week. it is one of the best places in the world to see whales in their natural habitat. but it‘s also now providing a home for a pair of these amazing mammals who spent their lives in captivity but are now looking forward to their retirement in an environment that is closer to their natural home. and cat has been to meet them. here, just off the coast of iceland, we are searching. because, apparently, there is something in the water. notjust one of them, either —

there are 23 species of them. so every now and then, someone points in a direction and the whole boatjust rushes over, trying to see what is going on. and then someone points in another direction, so we rush over there. so it is like playing whack—a—mole. you never know when things are going to pop up. we are watching boats cast off to sea each day in iceland in the hope of catching a glimpse of these mammals. you‘ve a great spot up here! it‘s the best one on the boat! minke whale, two o‘clock. alright, and it is a minke whale that we have at our two o‘clock! how do you even try to find a whale in such a vast area? what are the tell—tale signs?

tell—tale signs. the easiest one is the body — so when their black body comes up and you see the triangle—shaped dorsal fin. but also the blows. so just when you see their breath, you know what species you have. really? just from their breath, you can tell the species? yes. that‘s incredible. how often do you see whales on these tours? we basically see them almost every trip that we go out. in the end, it‘s the food. both laugh. we have nutrient—rich waters because it is cold. the colder the water, the more oxygen. and with that, the more life that you have. elsewhere in the world, travellers‘ contact with whales is often in captivity, where they are kept for public entertainment. globally, hundreds of whales are thought to live this way. but public appetite for holding these intelligent and social animals appears to be shifting. just last year, greenpeace drew attention to dozens of beluga whales and orcas that had been caught and kept in poor conditions in russia, destined

for entertainment parks in china. but in recent weeks, they were released after a public outcry. fortunately, these whales had only been captive for a short time, so could cope with life back out at sea. but what happens when theme park owners agree to release their whales who are unable to defend for themselves out in the open ocean? so the next morning, i travel to the south of the island and out to the westman islands, a short ferry ride off the mainland. i‘d heard that here in iceland, a new kind of sanctuary was being created. audrey, there are so many beautiful coves and little inlets around iceland.

why this particular place? it is a beautiful surrounding for them. with the cliffs kind of protecting them from the wind and the icelandic weather, and then also having the water temperature more like the arctic and subarctic, where they would be found in the wild. two beluga whales, called little white and little grey, will soon be the first to be released into the bay. they had until recently been performing at an entertainment park in china, but after the operators decided to end the practice, they tried to find new homes for the animals where they could live out their lives. what is the plan for tourists, so that they are not too overwhelmed? yeah, so the plan with tourists is to manage boat trips. we have a partner who will be bringing visitors out. they will not get out on these pontoons, but they will be able to see them from a distance — sort of like a whale—watching trip — and hear about the project and learn why little white

and little grey are here. little white and little grey were carefully flown on the long journey from china to iceland, but they could not be released straight into the bay. they have, for the last few months, been acclimatising in the nearby sea lift centre to the waters here, and working with handlers to learn how to take the final journey into the bay. oh, my goodness! wow! these are incredible. yeah, hi. can i come down? yeah, of course. hello! they are so graceful in the water, aren‘t they? what do you love about them? you know, beluga whales are a kind of friendly animal. they will not hurt you and you can work with them peacefully,

and so it is great fun to work with them. they‘re beautiful, gentle giants. yeah. so which is the naughty one? this one? yeah. look at theirfaces! this country‘s relationship with whales is complex, being one ofjust a few places in the world that still legally allows some hunting of the animals. but projects like this, and the various whale—watching experiences on offer, are ways to encourage understanding and protection. laughs. would you like some more fish? yum! iwillgive you... burps. 0h, was that a burp? she keeps wanting more. oh, if you insist. if you

insist. there we go. burps. oh, there is another little burp! chuckles. up next, we meet two women who are part of the unique team that took on an incredible journey across america. so, race across america is 3,070 miles from the west coast of america to the east coast of america. it was a different kind of cycling to anything i'd ever done before. so from california to maryland, and had to be completed in nine days.

it was an idea that i‘d had in the back of my mind, that i wanted to put a team together. i‘d seen two teams of wounded warriors guys do it, and seeing that there had been no females in that team, and wondered why not. there was eight riders, all who have had our different health challenges — be that physical or psychological or both. half the team were civilian and half them were military. i met sally through some invictus training camps. the one main concern i had was the fact that i'm visually impaired. i had a brain injury when i was injured in the army, quite some time ago now — 1996 — so for me to be cycling on the other side of the road when i am completely blind to the left was always going to be something i'd never done and, quite frankly, didn't

really know how that was going to go. we all went over the start line together. what then had to happen was as a non—stop race, we — the team of eight riders broke down into two pods, so there were four people in each pod, and the support crew. the first team carried on cycling for a nine—hour period. so within that nine hours, every 20 minutes, we would change riders. the other pod, in that time, had moved forward and they were having to get their rest in — which is quite difficult when you have just had the adrenaline at the start and then suddenly go, "right, you need to go to sleep". i can remember seeing a lot of road. to be honest, when you're cycling, you're concentrating on covering as much as you can. looking up is not something you necessarily do. and i looked up, and i'm so glad i did. we were the pod that was very, very fortunate to cycle through monument

valley. a lot of colour, a lot of red rock formations thatjust stand in this vast array of countryside. i — it‘s almost indescribable. didn't realise you'd put a camera in my face. do you want to take that? well done. good stuff. there had been a lot of doubts on everybody‘s mind. there is often times when you wonder if you can carry on because things my depression and it wasn‘t as difficult to overcome. the race finished in maryland. each of us cycled finished in maryland. each of us cycle d d own finished in maryland. each of us cycled down the road and everybody was cheering.

having to take part in such an extreme event has forced me to go out of my comfort zone. we we re to go out of my comfort zone. we were able to achieve something quite incredible and hopefully others will be able to look back on what they have achieved and inspired them to go and take on their own race across america. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and tina daheley. 0ur headlines today: the ministry ofjustice launches an urgent review of the licence conditions of all terrorists freed from prison after the attack at london bridge. two people, including

25—year—old jack merritt, were killed in the attack by convicted terrorist usman khan. the victims will be remembered at church services this morning. former wales rugby captain gareth thomas tells prince harry he wants breaking the stigma around hiv to be his "everlasting legacy" in an interview to mark world aids day. joe root finds some form in new zealand. he hits an unbeaten century, as england edge themselves back into the second test on day three in hamilton. good morning. it is a cold and frosty start for many of us. some sunshine in the forecast later on, but watch out for some mist and fog patches this morning. i‘ll bring you all the details in about 15 minutes. the government is reviewing the licence conditions of every convicted terrorist who has been freed from prison, in the wake of the attack at london bridge.

two people were fatally stabbed on friday by a man who had been jailed in 2012 for his role in an al-qaeda inspired plot. john mcmanus is on london bridge for us this morning. the bridge remains closed. those london buses, where they were told to halt by armed police at about 2pm on friday afternoon when this incident began. the investigation also going on in staffordshire where he lived for a while. the ministry ofjustice looking he lived for a while. the ministry of justice looking at he lived for a while. the ministry ofjustice looking at conditions under which convicted terrorists are released early from prison. running across london bridge, members of the public pursuing usman khan, determined to stop his stabbing spree. moments before, he had attacked people at a rehabilitation conference inside fishmongers‘ hall. as armed police arrived, the realisation that khan is wearing what appears

to be an explosives vest. moments later, he is shot dead. yesterday, one of his victims was named. 25—year—old jack merritt, who had been working at the conference. paying tribute to his son, david merritt called him a beautiful spirit who always took the side of the underdog. jack was originally from cambridge, and on saturday a vigil was held there to remember all those caught up in the incident. as the investigation into friday‘s attack continues, properties in stoke—on—trent and stafford have been searched and the government says it has launched an urgent review into the license conditions under which convicted terrorists like khan are freed from jail. there are thought to be around 70 such people but police have indicated that usman khan had obeyed the conditions of his license.

to be clear on the ministry of justice reviewer enter convicted terrorists and have been released early on licence, we think there are 70 who have been released early. not necessarily that they are a danger but they want to find out why usman khan was able to commit this act on friday when he was released on licence. you were on london bridge as this happened on friday afternoon. tributes to jack merritt the young man who was killed and to those passers—by who intervened.” think everybody could agree that those tributes are very well deserve to those passers—by who intervened and chased down usman khan on london bridge. neither i or most of the people on the bridge on friday had any idea that a stabbing incident had occurred a few moments earlier so we

were had occurred a few moments earlier so we were blissfully unaware of that. usman khan was making his way down london bridge chased by those men who intervened. if they had not managed to hold and replace him —— detain him then he could have killed many more people so they deserve those products coming their way. the face of jack merritt, the first of the victims to be named, is on the papers this morning. election campaigning is expected to resume fully from tomorrow following a more muted tone this weekend in light of friday‘s terror attack. it‘s now just 12 days until voters go to the polls. we can speak now to our political correspondent, susana mendonca, who is in our london newsroom. friday‘s attack has become a political issue. a lot of discussion

about how this happened, whether or not it is down to the sentencing rules, whether or not it is down to cuts to the probation service and to policing, which is the line that labour is taking. we are going to hear from the labour is taking. we are going to hearfrom the prime minister labour is taking. we are going to hear from the prime minister who will be talking about longer sentencing and specifically about those convicted of a serious terrorist offence should be convicted for at least 14 years and he will be talking about ending automatic release which is something that the conservatives have spoke about before. we will have a speech later from about before. we will have a speech laterfrom jeremy about before. we will have a speech later from jeremy corbyn who is going to be saying you cannot expect to keep people safe on the cheap, focusing on the funding issue and talking about the austerity we have seen over talking about the austerity we have seen over the past nine years and the impact he says that has had on policing and the probation service.

a lot of questions being asked about the probation service in relation to this incident. what else are labour talking about? focusing on their other big election issue, the nhs, an area labour know they can potentially win some support, and we are getting a line from labour looping at gp appointments and seeing that figures show 6 million patients waited more than two weeks for a patients waited more than two weeks fora gp patients waited more than two weeks for a gp appointment in october, and they are saying that gp numbers are down. the conservatives say they measure it by a different system and they say gp numbers are up so some dispute between the two main parties on dispute between the two main parties o n exa ctly dispute between the two main parties on exactly what is happening in terms of gp numbers. the former wales rugby captain, gareth thomas, says he wants his lasting legacy to be about raising awareness of hiv. he revealed he was hiv positive earlier this year, and has spoken to the duke of sussex about breaking the stigma

of the virus in an interview released by the terrence higgins trust to mark world aids day. i tell you what i feel like, and this is the truth, i always felt that my life was to play rugby and to represent wales, which i did with all the passion i have, right? but i actually feel that my rugby gave me the platform to do what i‘m doing now and i believe what i do now is what i care about, because there‘s not many people from a simple life that i have come from who can have the power to change other people‘s lives. we will speak to the chief executive of the terrence higgins trust just before 9pm.

executive of the terrence higgins trustjust before 9pm. net —— 9am. hundreds of people have been woken up overnight by a loud bang across north london and hertfordshire. social media users reported hearing the noise from london, up to luton and stevenage, and even as far as cambridge. the metropolitan police says it was a sonic boom from planes that were launched from raf coningsby in lincolnshire. andy moore is in our london newsroom. quarter past four or so in the morning, we werejust quarter past four or so in the morning, we were just arriving at work, our team here were looking at social media saying something has happened. tell us what it was. this was in the middle of the night and certainly in london and parts of hertfordshire a lot of people were woken by the noise. it was like the sound of a distant explosion so you can imagine, especially after the terror attack on friday, a lot of people were very worried. 0ne terror attack on friday, a lot of people were very worried. one man told the bbc he was petrified. it generated a primalfear. a

plane flying over central london wasn‘t responding to radio communications and in circumstances like that we have this quick alert force on standby, raf coningsby, who are ready to scramble at the moment‘s notice to any threats to british airspace, so they took off immediately, and they had to get there very quickly, so they were given permission to go through the sound barrier and that generated that sonic boom. the two jets intercepted the plane. the plane re—established radio communications and all was well and the planes have returned to base. this happens on a fairly regular basis, maybe half a dozen times a year. but if the planes break the sonic boom on a saturday afternoon you wouldn‘t hear it above the general background noise. when it happens middle of a sunday night when you are sleeping soundly you would hear it. the plane itself we believe was a

boeing 767 which was on delivery so there were no passengers on board, it was flying from tel aviv flying over central london, so you can imagine by the authorities were concerned, why they had to make sure that plane was safe and not a threat to anyone. i don‘t know how your science is, but explain what a sonic boom is. i don‘t know how your science is, but explain what a sonic boom ism is where the jet breaks the sound barrier and as it penetrates that sound barrier it creates that enormous noise that can be had over a distance of 30, 40 miles, if the plane is flying at some height. that is the sound. it is called a boom for a reason, it sounds like a distant explosion, and that is the sound that woke so many people up. you passed your gcse science with flying colours! it‘s 1st december today and the spirit of christmas has already arrived in the birth

place ofjesus. yes, the christmas tree in bethlehem has been lit up as part of an annual ceremony in the city‘s manger square. it sits outside the church of the nativity, where christians believejesus was born. the ceremony coincides with the beginning of advent and reminds us there‘s now just over three weeks until christmas. i need to make that clear, because i think i said earlier it is less than three weeks to go, which has been pointed out on twitter is incorrect. between the election and christmas it is all too much! maybe you are wishing to get past the election as soon as wishing to get past the election as soon as possible. you might want to close your ears if you don‘t want to hear strictly news. strictly come dancing‘s karim zeroual and amy dowden have landed the first perfect score of this

year‘s series. a typically flamboyant flourish from bruno. the children‘s tv presenter and his professional partner were awarded 40 points for their performance to "you can‘t stop the beat" from "hairspray" with a jive branded the "best ever seen" by the judges. the results of the quarter finals will be on bbc one tonight at 7.20pm. i would imagine that they will be progressing safely through after that. the ministry ofjustice has launched an urgent review of the licence conditions of every convicted terrorist who has been freed from prison, in the wake of the attack at london bridge. two people were killed and three were injured by convicted terrorist usman khan, who had been released on licence after serving half of his sentence. the family ofjack merritt, who was one of those stabbed to death by khan, have described him as an exceptional young man. today‘s papers are also full of tributes to jack and the issues

raised by the terror attack. the sunday times leads on boris johnson pledging new anti—terrorism laws if the tories win the general election and has a picture of jack, who was 25. and the sunday telegraph looks at jack‘s life and his passion for trying to help the underdogs with his work rehabilitating offenders. the observer looks at how the attack has affected the election campaign, again leading on the prime minister‘s pledge to introduce hard—line reforms for convicted terrorists. it also highlights labour‘s criticism of cuts to different areas of the security services. he grew up in cambridge, did his undergraduate degree in manchester and then went back to his home city to do criminology. prayers forjack

and the other person killed in the attack, who is yet to be named, will be said this morning. earlier, we spoke to the dean of the cathedral, the very reverend andrew nunn, who told us how the local community reacted to friday‘s attack. initially there was absolutely huge shock, having gone through the attack two and a half years ago. people never really imagined that the same kind of event could happen again, so people experiencing the horrors of that particular moment. the not knowing of what was going on. it‘s really reopened people‘s wounds and memories in a way that we never expected. what will you be saying in church this morning? you have two services i understand. yes, we have at least two services, and people will be coming here on advent sunday for a message of hope in preparation for christmas. that is what we would be doing anyway but in these particular

circumstances people need to be assured about the goodness that is around. we can sometimes feel overtaken by evil and these kind of events so we will be certainly talking about that but also reflecting on the heroic acts that we saw on london bridge on friday. and also praying forjack merritt and the other person who was killed in that event and those who were injured. people need a sense of hope in these circumstances. you mention the heroic acts on friday. there is a feeling that sometimes, especially in big cities, people will pass by on the other side of the road, but that was definitely not the case here. no. it‘s amazing, isn‘t it? when we hear about people doing this kind of thing you think, what would i do in those circumstances? so often, londoners can be accused of keeping themselves to themselves and that can be true, but here we saw people reacting

in such an almost reckless way in order to protect other people, so i am in awe of what was done, both by civilians but also by the police when they arrived. you mentioned jack merritt, who is the first of the victims to have been named. i don‘t know whether you have seen any of the tributes to him, the papers this morning are full of them. clearly a very bright, very able, very dedicated young man who was giving his life to helping others in terms of prisoner rehabilitation. it is ironic, isn‘t it? that the veryjob that he was seeking to do caused his death in the end. yes, he sounds the ideal kind of person to be doing this work, which we still need to do. we must not be put off track in rehabilitating people who have been radicalised in some way but also other prisoners who we

want back in society. but the question we are having to face now is how exactly we do that? but we mustn‘t be put off track through fear, either in relation to prisoners, but also in relation to how we live within cities. and how we live alongside people of other faiths and other creeds. it is a time for everybody to come together, isn‘t it? we found that after the last london bridge attack, so our relationships with our local mosque improved greatly. people of faith have a lot in common, a lot more in common than is sometimes imagined, so we have been working with the local muslim community and we will continue to do so. we share a lot from our inheritance of faith and we are all committed to peace. the people who say they are acting in the name of religion most often aren‘t. no, absolutely. just a final thought on how... you kind of touched on it, but how your community moves on. it‘s going to take quite a bit of work.

i think there are people now who are feeling fearful of living here. some said to was yesterday that they are thinking of moving away. that is exactly what we don‘t want to happen. we need to stay strong together, celebrating diversity here, celebrating the kind of life we are able to live in this wonderful part of london, and the cathedral community will be helping people to just that. here‘s sarah with a look at this morning‘s weather. todayis today is officially the first day of winter. it is quite a chilly start for the first day of winter with a bit of frost around. 0ur weather watchers are out taking pictures of this morning‘s sunrise. a little bit of

mist and further north that frost is sharp with cold conditions across northern england, scotland and northern ireland. for most of us it is looking mostly dry and sunny. you can see the blue colours which are an indication of being in that cold mass, but we do have some showers around as well. mist and fog around southern parts of england and a few showers for east yorkshire and northern ireland and the far north of scotland. elsewhere, away from these areas, it is looking largely dry. mist and fog should clean away by late morning and this afternoon a lot of sunshine and one or two of those showers lingering towards the far south—east. fairly breezy around some coasts but it is feeling pretty chilly. temperatures two to 8 degrees for most of us who when she

failed to welcome the 1st of december. two night stays clear with light winds. we have more cloud pushing across northern ireland so temperature is not as low as last night but we are expecting minus three or minus four across england and wales. the cold they are still with us for monday but you can see the mild air pushing in from the north—west bringing patchy rain initially across western parts of scotland. that pushing eastwards across scotland. it will not be raining all day but there will be some spots of rain. the best of the sunshine further south after another frosty start with frost patches. not as chilly in the north as it is today. on tuesday high pressure is not far away and we have fairly

dense patches of fog across southern england. the fog is quite slow to clear for a few places across southern england and south wales. tuesday looks like a dry day across the board with patchy fog and cloud lingering into the afternoon and temperatures about six to 8 degrees. further ahead into the new week it looks as if things are going to be turning milder and more unsettled with some rain in the north and west later in the week so get out and enjoy the frosty morning that we have out there today. we‘re going to take a look at what‘s in some of the papers today, and the reverend sally hitchener is here to tell us what‘s caught her eye. is here to tell us you is here to tell us cannot look at the papers today without you cannot look at the papers today without seeing some of the coverage of what happened on friday, tributes

to jack merritt, the first of the victims to be named. this is a comprehensive report. the papers have pages and pages about this. it isn‘t all there is papers. 0ne have pages and pages about this. it isn‘t all there is papers. one of the real challenges that isn‘t necessarily being written about but should be written about is why do we need to lock people up and what is the rationale for that? there are various different reasons why we do that, for protection of society, to reform individuals, to pay a debt to society, we might not want people like that in our community, and we have to be clearer about why we are locking people up and which mix of things there is because what we are faced with is confusion around why individuals need to be behind bars and kept away from society, and i think if we were clear about that, whether we were looking to

reform their characters are protect society, it would be clearer in terms of when is the right time to release them and what conditions they should be facing when they are kept behind bars. we were talking about jack merritt‘s father who put on social media that he wouldn‘t wa nt on social media that he wouldn‘t want it to lead to more draconian ways of dealing with... but you equally have to make sure that people are safe. exactly. a third concern is to protect society we would look at conditions within prison, and we believe in all of these things. i do not think any of things —— these things are totally off the table but we have to be clear about our rationale and it is ha rd clear about our rationale and it is hard when emotions are high and we are scared and we want to make sure we are are scared and we want to make sure we a re protected are scared and we want to make sure we are protected as a society, but making sure we have clear thinking in order to do that well and in order to prevent people going down

the risk of terrorism and becoming extremist in their views on the first place. one of the things we have heard is that one of the bysta nders have heard is that one of the bystanders who intervened was a convicted murderer on day release.” know. someone who you begin to see what supportive conditions can do in terms of creating people who can give back to society. let's go inside the sunday times, an article about lg bt inside the sunday times, an article about lgbt education. an lgbt charity have released advice and optional ideas for schools on how children as young as five can be constructively informed about diversity of different sexualities and genders and i am really passionate about this as someone who is religious, and i know there is a lot of controversy but then religious communities about how to do this well, but also as a gay

woman i want to point out that this is the biggest thing that is used against children, to say that you are gay, as an insult, but as a pa rent are gay, as an insult, but as a parent i would be interested in people learning about diverse communities, diverse sorts of people, and whatever your religious beliefs, their children to realise that society is a mixed space and we should be comfortable with that. half of that is learned behaviour, what they learn from adults around them. there is nothing to be afraid about drum diversity. you can do it in an age—appropriate way in the way that you would not talk about heterosexual couples in an inappropriate way to five—year—olds, it is the same with gay couples. the 0bserver, we are tight for time, this is about climate change.

what we have realised is that although we can be passionate about climate change there is a need to support countries already struggling to get through the day. we cannotjust say eve ryo ne through the day. we cannotjust say everyone needs to have these targets, we have to have extra money to support communities that need that. this week there are the climate talks in madrid looking at that and it is important to be aware of. a story about the cried. i am three episodes in. no spoilers. one of the wonderful stories that has come out through this, and i am sure the palace have mixed views, but it is the humanity of the duke of edinburgh‘s mum. she suffered with mental illness and had some really horrific experiences in terms of her treatment but then she goes that to try to help her community and head family from the nazis

in greece and did all sorts of things to help others, and perhaps giving a new light on the duke of edinburgh and his quirkiness and also his integrity. i have a soft spot for him, he has a care for others although he does say terrible things on occasion. fast fashion. and i winter, the editor in chief of vogue, has come out as a fan of passing on your close to other people, do not just passing on your close to other people, do notjust buy new all the time, go to charity shops, things that don‘t involve the creation of clothes, to help the environment and your budget. people have put love into clothes and they should not be thrown away. or if you are like me we re thrown away. or if you are like me were the same suit every day to work. you wear it so well.

that was very kind. coming up in the next half hour: how rugby star gareth thomas hopes his "everlasting legacy" can be helping to raise greater awareness of hiv — and he has a royal seal of approval. stay with us. 02:30:13,598 --> 1431655369:24:38,875 headlines 1431655369:24:38,875 --> 2863310736:19:04,152 coming 2863310736:19:04,152 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 up.
