a class 47 diesel locomotive used in it will feel that bit colder. a chilly night to come. the 19605. apparently used to get to clear skies, the temperatures 90 mph. i'm joined now by our economics dropping right down. —1, maybe even —2 in the suburbs, so a frost by dawn tomorrow morning. editor faisal islam. a bright start, but you'll notice lovely to see it. it is wonderful to this band of cloud behind me. that will gradually start to creep in through tuesday morning, be sitting here. i think this will bringing some outbreaks of rain as well. another breezy day, perhaps not as breezy as today. for wednesday, bright start, some heavy showers. however, thursday we'll get some be sitting here. i think this will bea be sitting here. i think this will sunshine to start with, be a heated cup of tea here. isn't this fantastic? i am not a but then turning rather wet transponder, i have to say, and windy as we head further presumably that means go. yes, this is forward and reverse and off. and through the afternoon. so a rather unsettled week to come. look at the detail here. i think this is where you could, if you i'm back with the latest wa nted this is where you could, if you wanted to, cook your breakfast. from the bbc london newsroom this is where you could, if you wanted to, cook your breakfastlj wanted to, cook your breakfast.” do! we are here to talk specifically in half an hour. about transport, because it is so important for people who live here, plenty more on our website particularly, transport and at the usual address. investment in the structure of bye for now. transport as well. so i think people have become more aware that the transport spending that there is within the uk, and particularly within the uk, and particularly within england, is concentrated on london and the south—east. and there's a reason for that, because if you are doing treasury spreadsheets where you decide whether the purse strings, and exactly where the money goes, these

big investment projects on rail and road, they are expensive and they ta ke road, they are expensive and they take many years. this is from the 19605, not quite this sort of timeframe, but not far off, ten or 20 years. so they look at the statistics as to where the passengers are, and that is where good morning welcome they put the money. it's sort of to breakfast with dan walker in salford and louise creates a giant circle where you minchin in crewe. just carry on targeting the 0ur headlines today: investment the government has at where the passengers are. and so you a volcano erupts on a popular tourist island pump it back in, and then it goes in new zealand — one person has died, the authorities say that number is likely to rise. three days left before more, and you pump it back in, it the general election — the tempo of the campaigning grows more and more and more and speeds up, and the war of words intensifies. more. the end result of that is quite stark. per head, on train transport, we are talking £843 per head for london, versus i think and we're in crewe on the last stop of the bbc‘s election tour with our top experts about £240 in the north—west, as low to help answer any questions you might have. as about £130 i think in parts of yorkshire or the north—east. so big today we're particularly talking about transport and getting back to disparities in the investment, that the bottom of questions you might apart ofa have. and for once, i am the bottom of questions you might have. and for once, iam in the bottom of questions you might have. and for once, i am in first disparities in the investment, that apart of a grand self—fulfilling prophecy. the end result of that, class. particularly if you look at, like, and i'm here, just two local transport networks, and we saw miles down the road —

at a factory that jams — the report from tom showing those to find out what businesses old pacer trains, is i think best shown by comparing internationally. here want from this election. if you take a country like spain and in the finalfew in the final few days of campaigning, what do firms want to hear from the politicians? you look at second, third, fourth, anthonyjoshua tell us fifth cities of spain, they have all about his plans to conquer the world, after he beat got usable underground systems. andy ruinr to win back his three where as we simply don't. you work world heavyweight titles. in salford, manchester, some say they are second city, some say they 0ne one step at a time and i think when i keep on breaking down each barrier are third city, but no underground and going over each hurdle, sooner system. in spain, the fifth and or later i will be looking at that undisputed world champion. sixth cities has got an underground system. as you say, a global contrast as well. let's briefly the tail end of it storm atiyah is talk, because we are running out of clearing away so it is causing timea talk, because we are running out of time a little bit, we have plenty of disruption out there but it should time a little bit, we have plenty of time later, about hs2. that is meant ease later on. i will bring you all to come through crewe if it happens. the details throughout the tell us about the if and when. really important for crewe, crewe was chosen ahead of stoke as a kind of intermediate junction ahead of programme. the completion of the london to birmingham line. so it means that the services, when it does get good morning. finished eventually, the services it's monday the ninth of december. going on to the north—west on hs to, our top story. at least one person has been killed and others are unaccounted for after a volcano erupted suddenly

the very latest on exacting what during 0ctober‘s fa cup happened, who was there and it must match with yeovil town. two men were arrested by police. have been some horrific accounts and what took place there. some people we're joined now by former seeing on the crater rim just before player iffy 0noura, who is also the coaching that volcano erupted this morning. and equalities executive for the professional footballers' association. more to come throughout breakfast good morning to you. i wish we could this morning. elsewhere today. party leaders are starting talk about happier times but again their final push for votes before thursday's general election. the prime minister bori5johnson will be visiting every region on saturday, arrests have been made, of england and wales over the next three days to deliver his "get brexit done" investigations are continuing but it message, while labour wasn't pretty, was it? sadly, it is and the lib dems are both promoting their own plans for how almost becoming the norm, we are they would use their seeing these incidents happening first weeks in office. almost weekend, week out. it is the world anti doping agency going to a long clawback now from will decide today whether russia should receive an unprecedented four where we are now to where we need to year ban from all major international sporting events. it follows an investigation which found the country's be. we need people who are committed authorities had tampered with computer data showing athletes had cheated. to making the change in this area. if the ban is imposed, russia's flag will be removed 00:35:51,511 --> 2147483051:54:40,470 from the tokyo 0lympics 2147483051:54:40,470 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 and the 2022 football world cup. it has really been front and centre and we're just not getting that the moment. at times like this, we a lwa ys moment. at times like this, we always look at the way a clawback is

the way things like this are dealt with. do you fear, i am not trying to criticise individuals but could the stewards have done more, having seen what they were watching during the game on saturday? man city have been honest enough to stand up and say there is going to be an investigation. of that will sit on the steward and it did look maybe a little bit passive at the time that i think it goes beyond clubs and individuals. we all have to now turn the dial back to where we need to be put on we spoke about the incidents in bulgaria. the kid gloves approach to the punishment there. so long as these things are happening and the tough measures aren't being imposed on individuals and teams than these things will keep on happening. there are brilliant campaigns, kick make it out, no room for racism. does it

actually do anything? we are a lot of platitudes and warm words when these things happen but the reality is it is not being backed up. for example, i got a screenshot last night from a colleague i'm a player ‘5 account, a social media account. it was overt racism, it wasn't a subtle, and it was reported to instagram as they came back and said it didn't violate their code and i can show you some of the things that we re can show you some of the things that were said. social media companies with everybody else have got to take responsibility because they have the power. everyone who has power now and a space has to take responsibility and when we talk about these companies, it is not backed up by real power. football is often in the spotlight but is it

more of a societal issue and something that football can lead the way on or is it merely a reflection of what is happening more widely across the uk? i think football is as is part of societal problem. looking back to 2012 in the 0lympics, looking back to 2012 in the olympics, the country was part of this great discussion about inclusion and tolerance and it was such a wonderful time. it was a unifying part and it was only seven yea rs unifying part and it was only seven years ago. we have lost that over the last aspect over the last seven yea rs. the last aspect over the last seven years. there have been some dark forces coming in. we'll have to play a part in addressing that and going back. i'm not being hopefully idealistic but that is the best of the country, that tolerance, that inclusion. we'll need to try and play a part to bring that back. it was only seven years ago and it

feels a lifetime. elections only a few days ago. some of the political rhetoric does cause some of these issues and is part of it. is that something that you feel, that politicians from all parties need to be careful about the language that they use and the way that they address issues? because it can be something that is then seen more widely in the instance we saw at the weekend. absolutely. you have to join the dots. if you say things about certain people, you can't then step away when people take that on and abuse the same type of people. it is not just and abuse the same type of people. it is notjust that, just in the response to things that happen like, again, ilook response to things that happen like, again, i look back at certain people in certain politicians and you look across the way to new zealand. i think it was early this year or end of last year, the new zealand premier, her response to sin —— jacinda ardern was just the utmost

in terms of dignity and class and how she responded. we have had atrocities here before and since then and i'm yet to see anyone with that kind of grace that she had. that is the challenge for all of us but we challenge the people in power, not just but we challenge the people in power, notjust in football, not just in politics, in all aspects of life because there is not one institution in this country who can turn around and say they have a handle on this. so are we demanding enough from our leaders? are they in power for enough from our leaders? are they in ower for ower‘s enough from our leaders? are they in power for power‘s sake or to make a difference? 0nly power for power‘s sake or to make a difference? only when we see that type of leadership throughout society, it will make a difference. thank you for coming and talking about this this morning. let us know what you dig about that or anything else on the programme today. —— what you think about that. we have jo swinson from the liberal democrats coming up injust under an hour on the sofa.

we have done everybody except we have done everybody excetho swinson and jeremy corbyn, so hopefully we will get them in the next few days. here is sarah with a look at this morning's weather. the winds are causing some problems, storm atiyah has been moving across the uk overnight. these are some of the uk overnight. these are some of the wind gusts we have recorded in the wind gusts we have recorded in the isle of wight. quite widely, very windy conditions across parts of wales, south—west england, but also part of scotland and eastern england as well. we have the strong winds, they should slowly ease through the day. it will feel colder thanit through the day. it will feel colder than it has done recently, but there will be fewer showers around. some dry weather particularly later in

the day. the satellite image shows the day. the satellite image shows the cloud associated with storm atiyah is clearing away towards the east, but we still have a speckling of shower cloud around so some wintry flurries over the higher ground of scotland this morning and some showers across eastern england as well. the ridge of high pressure moves in through the day, so that means that showers should tend to fade away and the strongest of the winds will ease later on as well. this morning we have had reports of trees down, some debris on the roads as well with this strong winds. 70 mph gusts possible at times here. showers easing from the east and the wintry flurries easing as well. dry weather in most places on into the afternoon. temperatures certainly colder than recent days, somewhere between four and 10 degrees this afternoon. into this evening, once the sunsets, you can see the blue colours returning to the map. showing that we're going to see quite an early frost developing. a cold evening in the first part of the night. later in the night, the next area of rain moving in from the west, and the wind is picking up as well. a soggy, windy started tuesday for many areas. the far of england and east anglia should out of dry and east anglia should out of dry and you will see a touch of frost around there. through the day, the cloud, rain and wind pushed their way across all of the uk. particularly in the north and west. the heaviest of the rain will be across the high ground and parts of northern ireland, parts of england

and wales as well, a little bit of snow over the higher ground here. temperatures somewhere between ten and 13 degrees on tuesday. what we're seeing is a real rollercoaster and the temperatures this week. the milderair and the temperatures this week. the milder air with us on tuesday doesn't stick around for long. that pushes away towards the east as we head on into wednesday. so a change in ms, a change in wind direction. it won't be such a windy day to come on wednesday. sunny spells, blustery showers. still quite breezy, particularly for northern parts of scotla nd particularly for northern parts of scotland and further wintry flurries here. but a cold day on wednesday. again we are back into single figures on wednesday. and then it looks unsettled, with more and windy weather at times really through the rest of the week. but for now it is back to louise in crewe. we can definitely hear the wind in the crewe heritage centre. the latest of our election broadcasts, with just 72 hours to go. we want to hear from you. good with just 72 hours to go. we want to hearfrom you. good morning, all of you. thank you very much. some local

voters are here to join us. frank, you've lived in the north all your life. you were in care, won't you? up to the age of five. what are your priorities? younger people, especially children, because they don't have a voice, and there should bea don't have a voice, and there should be a lot more consideration, a lot more support, a lot more resources, especially in schools. my background is education as well. and i have seen it at grassroots, at first hand, how people suffer. and don't have a voice. and everything is

skirted over, and theyjust don't get the right support. i think it is getting worse. so that is your priority. demo, when you are looking to vote, what are you concerned about? if the minimum wage goes up to £10 we may struggle just to employ more staff. at the moment it is obviously a £21, our employees are on percentage pay. so... so that could have a real impact on your business, then. and you are a first—time voter, dee. congratulations on that, first of all. what is your main thing that you are worried about? as someone who will be looking at buying their own house sometime in the future, i am worried about being able to actually afford that. the mortgage payments, yes, that will be ok, but it is getting that initial deposit. 0k. it is getting that initial deposit. ok. i know you are here with us later and you will be able to ask those questions of the experts as well. thank you forjoining us. this has been amazing. we are on the latest of our election broadcast, and look at this fantastic train. i had a look at my notes because i didn't want to get this wrong, this is an electric load locomotive built in crewe, and it was the precursor to the train many of you will have

travelled on, with this pulling a passenger train, and used mainly on the west coast main line. transport here in crewe is very important, not just in the past, but also in the future as well, because hs2 is due to come through here. i mentioned the experts. i have a political correspondent chris mason, who is now not serving the coffee, and also faisal islam. faisal, let's pick up on that thought from dee, she is worried about how she will get the money for a deposit on a house. let's talk about the kind of wider economy here. what is going on? so in terms of house prices, i house on the north—west cost about £170,000, below average for england in the uk, between about £235,000 and £250,000, but still quite expensive in terms of the average wage. so if you are a first—time buyer trying to get a deposit together, if you are trying to get that income multiple in terms of the mortgage, you can see why it

is difficult for young people, even though the prices are lower, in terms of the wider economy, the north—west is pretty much bang on average in terms of england. you are talking about an average of about 25,000 per person in terms of the size of the economy. as i said, the average for england. but you compare that to london, it is about half the size of the economy per person stopped just under 50,000, of london. so that big disparity, and yet the north—west is growing at about half the rate of london. now, maybe that's an unfair comparison. london is an international city, but it does have an effect, having a big international city in your country. it does have an effect stop i think people from manchester, myself, you have the same sort of stories about... well, let me give you a visual example of this. there's great picture of the uk by night, and certainly from 1950 to 2000 what you see is the lights going off around the country, and london

getting brighter and brighter. it is really quite interesting, and that is the sort of story of the magnetic some might argue blackhole effect of this big international city sucking the economic activity to some degree into london and making it more difficult for the north—west, northeast, yorkshire, scotland and wales to thrive. very interesting, that, about investment as well. looking at that point, what other m essa g es looking at that point, what other messages and promises from the parties with regard to the different regions that there are? they are really conscious of the point that faisal makes, so they fall over themselves and these manifestoes to portray themselves as anything other than london centric. there is a real focus in all of them, especially the uk wide parties, on the north of england. so whether that be talking about infrastructure projects, devolution, handing more power away from london to local authorities or two ma res from london to local authorities or two mares in the north of england. what is quite striking there, i have

been travelling around the country with any questions on radio 4, if you go to cornwall or south wales, plenty of people there say hang on a minute, yes, some of the parties talk about not being london centric and talk about the north of england, but there are other pockets of the uka long but there are other pockets of the uk a long way away from the national capital who also feel ignored and sometimes feel that they fall out of the conversation about non— london focus and spending, with all the talk of stuff like, for instance, the northern powerhouse.” talk of stuff like, for instance, the northern powerhouse. i wanted to ask you particularly about the northern powerhouse. that was announced five years ago by george 05borne. i remember it. has that changed things? what has that done? he even got her majesty the queen to say it in the queen's speech, which was quite something at the time. at the time, the point of it, that magnetic blackhole effect of london that i am talking about is that in international terms you need to create a kind of counterforce, a sort of counter poll, like a different type of magnet. and you can't just different type of magnet. and you

can'tjust do that with one city. manchester does well, liverpool does well, leads does well, but if you are trying to present yourself to, say, international investors, you wa nt to say, international investors, you want to connect all that up. to give you an example, i know that when the north—west were trying to market itself to east asia, to the chinese, a small city for them has a population of 10 million. the big cities have 30 million. so they literally market the whole of the m62 is a kind of supercity. but if you don't have the transport connections between those cities, the road connections, then that doesn't function and doesn't work. and so that's where, i think as chris was saying, that's where investment... all the parties are saying they are going to do it. whether they actually do it is another question. it is absolutely fascinating. thank you both very much indeed. you are going to do a twitter question and answer session. iam, and i twitter question and answer session. i am, and i will try and get hold of a badge, rail woman. i am, and i will try and get hold of a badge, railwoman. what it means isiam in a badge, railwoman. what it means is i am in charge. we knew that without the badge.” is i am in charge. we knew that without the badge. i know you will be back a little bit later. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. i think you can probably see the sun is beginning to rise in crewe, it is rather lovely. good morning from bbc london. detectives are continuing their appeal for information after a fatal stabbing near harrods on friday. a 20—year—old university of london student was attacked, and police say he was entirely blameless. mohammed abdullah al araimi, who was an 0mani living in london, was pronounced dead at the scene. his 20—year—old friend who was also injured has been discharged from hospital. a major improvement to stansted airport has been delayed. the new £150 million arrivals hall was due to open next year, but now the project is being reviewed. the airport blames delays in getting planning permission to increase passenger numbers, as well as a range of other factors. difficulties ryanair have been having with this new aircraft, the 737 max, which they have grounded, so they can't

get these aircraft. the demise of thomas cook. a bunch of reasons for it. but the fact is that stansted is in decline, rather than moving ahead. a much loved cabaret club in central london which was forced to close five years ago could be making a comeback. westminster city council has given madame jojo's a new licence after measures were agreed to reduce noise and disruption at the entrance. the venue in soho dates back to the 19505. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are minor delays on the metropolitan line between baker street and aldgate, due to an earlier faulty train at finchley road. 0n the trains, reduced services across south western railway network. replacement buses are running on some routes, including epsom to effingham junction and virginia water to weybridge. 0n the roads, and it's busy on the a13 coming into town through dagenham. in edmonton, meridian way is closed northbound from conduit lane for electricity work.

and finally, in highgate, hampstead lane is closed from highgate village to hampstead heath for repairs to a burst watermain. now the weather, with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a rather blustery start to a rather unsettled week. now, this morning, there is some cloud and maybe even some outbreaks of rain first thing. but sunny spells to follow, and yes, that wind is very gusty. so the cloud eventually starts to break up as we head through the morning and beyond. north—westerly breeze becoming quite brisk through the afternoon, but plenty of sunshine. it's the wind, though, that will make things feel rather cold. temperatures 10 celsius, yes, but factor in the wind, it will feel that bit colder. a chilly night to come. clear skies, the temperatures dropping right down. —1, maybe even —2 in the suburbs, so a frost by dawn tomorrow morning. a bright start, but you'll notice this band of cloud behind me. that will gradually start to creep in through tuesday morning, bringing some outbreaks of rain as well. another breezy day, perhaps not as breezy as today. for wednesday, bright start, some heavy showers. however, thursday we'll get some

sunshine to start with, but then turning rather wet and windy as we head further through the afternoon. so a rather unsettled week to come. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello this is breakfast with dan walker in salford and louise minchin in crewe. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. at least one person has been killed and others are unaccounted for after a volcano erupted suddenly off the north coast of new zealand. up to 50 tourists were visiting the volcano on what's known as whakaari or white island when it started spewing ash into the air.

was, i know they will be a huge amount of concern and anxiety for those who have loved ones of the island stop she can assure them that police are doing everything they can. we know that 23 people have been rescued. 0ne confirmed dead so far as we were hearing from that press co nfe re nce , far as we were hearing from that press conference, the number is expected to rise there had been pictures of people on the crater rim on the island just before the explosion took place. some pictures taken by explosion took place. some pictures ta ken by people explosion took place. some pictures taken by people in a boat going away from the island. 0bviously lots of people, lots of our viewers this morning as well, saying that you have been there, you have visited. if there are signs on the island telling you to stay away from thin crust around that crater rim so many people and many of our viewers have been there this morning and if you do, if you are one of those people watching and you're worried about friends or relatives, new zealand red cross have been releasing details on what to do this morning. they say if you were worried, please

in front of you so i am just focusing on what is in front of me now. manchester united are supporting their players after some were subjected to racial abuse during the manchester derby on saturday. the incident happened as united midfielder fred went to take a corner — a man has been arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence. manchester city say they'll ban anyone found guilty for life — but the anti—racism organisation kick it out say it's a wider issue. there's no let up in leicester city's pursuit of liverpool at the top of the premier league table. they made it eight wins in a row with a 4—1victory over struggling aston villa — jamie vardy scoring twice. leicester are eight points behind liverpool, but they're six points clear of manchester city. celtic won their tenth domestic trophy in a row after beating rangers 1—0 in the league cup final. celtic were actually on the back foot, before christopherjullien scored with their only shot on target. rangers did have a chance to get back into it, but fraser forster saved an alfredo morelos penalty. arsenal are two points clear at the top of the womens super league after a comfortable victory over

had a really long journey towards having a child and trying to adopt here in the uk. give us an idea, ta ke here in the uk. give us an idea, take us back to the start. how did the process begin? at the end of 2015, we went for a workshop with our local authority on adoption to enquire about adoption domestically and it was really good. yes, it was fantastic was up are very welcoming attitude. all sexualities, all races we re attitude. all sexualities, all races were welcome. we took a few months to think about it and then come april that year, we decided we were really, really excited about going for adoption so we made the phone call. when we made that phone call, thatis call. when we made that phone call, that is when it went horribly wrong. pick up the story if you could, what happened? sandeep made the phone call and relate to me what happened. to be honest, i was baffled. i

couldn't believe that they were asking about how so that —— about our heritage and using that as a reason as to why they were not going to progress with our adoption. we thought about it for about a week and then sandeep rang back and he said, this can't be right, maybe i can speak to somebody else, maybe it was the person i spoke to and that particular phone call was with a home visit because we expect —— we expressed the fact that we could ta ke expressed the fact that we could take on siblings because we had enough room in the house and we were willing to do so. exactly. a week later i guess then we got the phone call. during the home visit, the lady was very warm and welcoming it kept saying whatever happens, we don't want to put you off adoption because —— so we just knew what was

going to happen and sure enough we got the phone call that we couldn't even apply to become adopted parents because of our cultural heritage and they advised us to go to india whether culture is to our own. that which is what —— that is what upset us the most because they assumed what our cultural heritage was. they suggested we look elsewhere because they only had white children available and we were very, very clear right from the beginning that whatever child, the race, it didn't matter to us, race doesn't have a colour. and reena, you are successful in adopting in america and successfully, your case challenging what happened in the uk. i understand you would like to now adopt someone else from the uk to join the sun you currently have? ——

son. yes, we have to wait until a son. yes, we have to wait until a son turns too. it is legal across the board in the uk. hopefully apply to actually adopt another child. we have to go through a similar process again and then we can hopefully adopt within this country.” again and then we can hopefully adopt within this country. i will read the statement. i suppose the point they were making is they were looking at particularly older children and you wanted a baby and i am sure you appreciate, really difficultjob to it right of placing, in most times, it is vulnerable children in a loving family. yes, 100% but it is also important to note that we were not looking for a newborn child, we were looking for a newborn child, we were looking for a child under two and they had children available. it is not that they didn't have children available it is just that they had white children available and they gave priority to white european applicants over us and we were just asking why can't we apply? you don't

know us, you don't know what our cultural beliefs are, you don't know who we are at people —— as people so we shouldn't be disadvantaged as to the assumption by what our cultural beliefs are and our ethnic origins. it is also the registration of interest. 0ur matching should not be happening until around stage two of the process so it wasn't, we were not even able to get to stage one so i think that is where we felt that straightaway we were given a roadblock down to the fact of what they perceived to be our culture. reena, sandeep, lovely to talk to you and make breakfast this morning. windsor and maidenhead council say: "we have reviewed our policies to ensure they are fit for purpose and are confident that we do not exclude prospective adopters

on the grounds of ethnicity". here is sarah with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, sarah. we are hearing a bit about storm atiyah, and louise has been cold in crewe as well. what is happening down there? that wind down to storm atiyah has been rattling a few windows through the course of the night. we had some windy weather across parts of wales, eastern england and scotland as well. so windy almost across the board well. so windy almost across the boa rd really well. so windy almost across the board really this morning. the satellite image shows the cloud associated with that storm system which is now clearing away towards the east, but we have still got the tail end of storm atiyah. higher pressure for a time is going to be building in from the west. so that is going to quite things down later in the day. the strongest winds will ease and most of the showers will

fade away but we have got some wintry flurries over the high ground of scotla nd wintry flurries over the high ground of scotland first thing this morning and some rain showers down the east coast of england as well. with just about 70 mph in one or two spots. so those strong winds and also the showers should both ease away later on. this is 3pm this afternoon, sunshine almost across the board by this stage. temperatures, though, only between four and 10 degrees, so colder than recent days. into this evening under the clear skies, once the sunsets it is going to be a cold night, especially first thing in the east. towards the north—west, it is going to turn milder as the next area of rain and strengthening winds arrives later on in the night. it is parts of east anglia and the far south—east under the clear skies where you could see attached frost first thing tuesday. but it is going to bea first thing tuesday. but it is going to be a wet and windy day, with areas of rain working from west to east through the day. gail is at times, particularly windy in the north and the west, with some heavy rain around as well. but it is going to bea rain around as well. but it is going to be a milder day, with temperatures tuesday afternoon between about ten to 13 degrees. it won't stay mild for long, cold by wednesday, and still wet and windy through much of the week ahead. back to louise in crewe.

thank you, and the wind seems to have calmed down in crewe heritage centre. i am have calmed down in crewe heritage centre. iam in have calmed down in crewe heritage centre. i am in a signal box which dates back to the 18005. it has come from exeter but it is in crewe now. it is exactly how you might imagine a box to be. apparently it is a very complicated sequence. do not worry, i have not sent a train in the wrong direction. what was absolutely wonderful is to be able to see it exactly as it was. they have a stove to keep themselves warm, and hear the different signals. apparently each signal box would have a different tone so they would know which one was doing whatever it was doing. it is really in pristine condition and so lovely to see it. the reason it is here in crewe is because crewe of course historically has been a transport hub. it is really important here, transport, and into the future as well, when hs2, even when it is built, will come through crewe. 0ur transport correspondent

tom burridge has been taking a look at why it matters to so many. a train trip through the pennines — picturesque, but like many journeys across the north of england, relatively slow. in this election, there are promises galore that public transport links will improve. everything is promised every time, isn't it, and i think the north is left out. i do really believe that. hebden bridge station, a reminder of how long it is since our railways were conceived. today, just over 1% of people in the north of england catch a train on a daily basis. yes, 1%. if you want to de—clog the roads, that has to change. we need new lines, for example the new fast line from leeds to manchester. but we also need to reopen lines that have been closed, where there's now a big demand, for both reasons of social mobility and environmental reasons. bradford has a young population, but to realise that potential, you need a transport system to match. this station, and the fact there is another station across the city serving different places, says it all. bradford isn't properly connected.

politicians now agree that an entire overhaul of the rail network in this part of the country is needed, with a new station in this city. that makeover is called northern powerhouse rail, or crossrail for the north. all the parties have committed to this £40 billion project. there will be a new, faster link between manchester and leeds, and upgrades to existing lines. work should begin in five years' time. if you want to start a business, you can start it in bradford. it's cost—effective to be in bradford. it's quite a cool place to be. craig burton believes you transform transport and you transform the region. we're keeping these kids in poverty for the region. they might want to work in bradford for their families,

but they have to live in different cities. at the moment, that is particularly difficult. i've got people working for me that travel 1.5 hours to leeds, which is normally a 20—minute journey if it's not in the rush hour. i don't know why they do it. in crewe, a place which needs investment, there is uncertainty over whether this town will become a stop on a high—speed railway called hs2. the conservatives say they are undecided about that project. buses are my means of getting out. so this a more immediate travel concern for many — all the parties are promising more money for buses. carol has been campaigning against cuts to services in crewe. no bus — isolation. and this is her message for politicians. its all right having a car, it's all right having a chauffeur, even, but there's a lot of people haven't got that. they've only got a bus. mark's only option home is an unreliable train service. it isn'tjust the inconvenience. it's your mental health, it's yourjob. the state of public transport high up his agenda. i could drive, but i've already paid for my season ticket, so i'm stuck with it, really. a factor when he votes

in just three days' time. i want to pick up some of those thoughts with jen i want to pick up some of those thoughts withjen williams. she joins me here in this fabulous signal box. they wouldn't look like this now, would they? no, they wouldn't. but it is lovely to be here. tell us about your campaign. you got together a whole lot of newspapers to look at what is going on appear in the north. tell us about what kind of range of newspapers why. the campaign was called power up the north, and it was newspapers from across the north, including the yorkshire post, liverpool, the newcastle chronicle and journal, lots of the papers covering a huge swathe of the country. and we launched it because we felt that for a very, very long time investment and decision—making in this country has been focused too much in london in the south—east,

and that has been borne out in a number of reports, including one at the time by the uk 27 commission that essentially said the economic divide in this country is now comparable to germany after the cold war between east and west, because that divide has been allowed to build—up over decades. and we are essentially saying that we need a fair deal, especially in the north. iam sure fair deal, especially in the north. i am sure lots of parts of the country would feel the same way as well. have you felt that by joining forces that is making a difference? i think forces that is making a difference? ithink so, forces that is making a difference? i think so, i also think there is a cultural thing in this country that in order to kind of get this onto the agenda politically, you do have to shout a little louder in the north. that was one of the reasons that we got together, but i think it has worked. i think you can see that this is starting to be worn out by party manifestoes in this election. it is something that is rising up

the agenda. importantly, in crewe, it is historically important from a transport point of view, and hs2 as well. you must talk to people about hs2 all the time. what is the feeling about it? i think it is a mixed picture. ithink feeling about it? i think it is a mixed picture. i think if you talk to business and political leaders in the north they will say it is absolutely essential because it will link to northern powerhouse rail, the plan to improve east—west link rail in the north and to increase capacity of the west coast main line. i think if you talk to people on the ground, it is more mixed. what people really feel in their bones is that their local transport connections are not very good, and that includes local train links, but it also includes things like bus services. so there is a tendency for people to kind of thing is this really the best prioritisation? and i think that is quite understandable. it is a mixed picture. and whatever happens, it is a long way away, even if it were to happen. exactly, and there are things people want to happen faster, andi things people want to happen faster, and i can understand why that is. it has been a long time coming.” and i can understand why that is. it has been a long time coming. i will let you get out of the signal box, i nearly broke it a moment ago but luckily there were no working trains. but first, ben gets all the best breakfast assignments. he is not too farfrom here and has been sampling some local produce.

good morning. what you are looking at there is the first batch of the morning of strawberry jam at there is the first batch of the morning of strawberryjam here in crewe. it is a family run business established here in 1980. they are now sold right around the world. what you are looking at in there, this is how it ends up, sold as i said right around the world. it all began with this stuff, lemon kurd, backin began with this stuff, lemon kurd, back in 1980. they used to make 100 yards a day in the kitchen back on a farm. they now sell more than 2 million jars farm. they now sell more than 2 millionjars around farm. they now sell more than 2 million jars around the world every year, as far afield as the united states, australia and new zealand, and wendy is one of the bosses. wendy, good morning. we have been having a look around this place, and as we said, from small beginnings to an international business now. we have a lot of concerns about the election and what you want to hear from the politicians, and it is all about clarity, isn't it? yes, it is about clarity, isn't it? yes, it is about clarity. i feel that there are so many claims and counterclaims being made by all the political parties, it is impossible to know

what to believe. we will see whether we can make sure we can hear you, wendy. what we're looking at now a production line here, and they are putting the labels on the jars, selling them all around the world. what difference with this election make to your day—to—day? what are the things you worry about in business? i worry about confidence. we have a situation, for example, where i have european customers in places like sweden, germany, who will say to us, wendy, we want mrs darlington's britishjams. will say to us, wendy, we want mrs darlington's british jams. they will say to us, wendy, we want mrs darlington's britishjams. they sell really well. we have had them for years, but right now, for the last three years, we do not have confidence about what on earth you are doing in britain. and as a consequence, we don't know if your prices are suddenly going to go through the work next week. are they going to change in three months' time? and if you can't give us the confidence, wendy and sarah, what we're going to have to do is go and buy, unfortunately, great austrian jams. real practical considerations. thank you. i want to introduce you to sandy, as well. you run a

business which is just around the corner, a paper supply seller. so you are talking about imports and exports, not something that affects you directly, but indirectly. we try and source our products from in the uk, we take pride in the fact it is made in britain, but we are being a bit cautious because we buy from british paper mills, but there is no pulp mill in britain, so you can't buy the pulp. we are involved in export whether you like it or not, import and export. and you want clarity. we want clarity. even if that turns out to be tariffs or something like that, at least we know where we stand. it is the clarity we need. we were talking to an italian paper mill recently, although we do try and buy from britain, and what was interesting, they were not delivering anything into the uk. and then last week of october or the first week of november, because of the uncertainty, the knock—on effects of that sort of thing, stockpiling, et cetera, are becoming obvious. always the uncertainty. thank you very much, sandy. we have been doing this

road trip all around the country and the message is always the same. we wa nt the message is always the same. we want certainty. just let us get on with business and we will do it. more from us a little later. but i am going to leave you with a beautiful view of crewe for you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. detectives are continuing their appeal for information after a fatal stabbing near harrods on friday. a 20—year—old university of london student was attacked, and police say he was entirely blameless. mohammed abdullah al araimi, who was an omani living in london, was pronounced dead at the scene. his 20—year—old friend who was also injured has been discharged from hospital. a major improvement to stansted airport has been delayed. the new £150 million arrivals hall was due to open next year, but now the project is being reviewed. the airport blames delays in getting planning permission to increase passenger numbers, as well as a range of other factors.

difficulties ryanair have been having with this new aircraft, the 737 max, which they're grounded, so they can't get these aircraft. the demise of thomas cook. a bunch of reasons for it, but the fact is that stansted is in decline, rather than moving ahead. a much loved cabaret club in central london which was forced to close five years ago could be making a comeback. westminster city council has given madame jojo's a new licence after measures were agreed to reduce noise and disruption at the entrance. the venue in soho dates back to the 19505. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are minor delays on the metropolitan line between baker street and aldgate, due to an earlier faulty train at finchley road. on the trains, reduced services across south western railway network. replacement buses are running on some routes, including epsom

to effingham junction and virginia water to weybridge. on the roads, and in leicester square, cranbourne street has been shut by extinction rebellion protesters dressed in high—vizjackets. in edmonton, meridian way is closed northbound from conduit lane for electricity work. and finally, in highgate, hampstead lane is closed from highgate village to hampstead heath for repairs to a burst watemain. now the weather, with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a rather blustery start to a rather unsettled week. now, this morning, there is some cloud and maybe even some outbreaks of rain first thing. but sunny spells to follow, and yes, that wind is very gusty. so the cloud eventually starts to break up as we head through the morning and beyond. north—westerly breeze becoming quite brisk through the afternoon, but plenty of sunshine. it's the wind, though, that will make things feel rather cold. temperatures 10 celsius, yes, but factor in the wind, it will feel that bit colder. a chilly night to come.

clear skies, the temperatures dropping right down. —1, maybe even —2 in the suburbs, so a frost by dawn tomorrow morning. a bright start, but you'll notice this band of cloud behind me. that will gradually start to creep in through tuesday morning, bringing some outbreaks of rain as well. another breezy day, perhaps not quite as breezy as today. for wednesday, bright start, some heavy showers. however, thursday we'll get some sunshine to start with, but then turning rather wet and windy as we head further through the afternoon. so a rather unsettled week to come. good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker in salford and louise minchin in crewe. our headlines today: a volcano erupts on a popular tourist island in new zealand — one person has died, the authorities say that number is likely to rise.

three days left before the general election — the tempo of the campaigning speeds up, and the war of words intensifies. and we're in crewe on the last stop of the bbc‘s election tour with our top experts to help answer any questions you might have. we any questions you might have. will be talking to low asking we will be talking to local voters, asking what questions they want a n5wered asking what questions they want answered and what signals they need from the politicians. anthonyjoshua tell us about his plans to conquer the world, after he beat andy ruinunior to win back his three world heavyweight titles. i think when i keep on breaking down each barrier and i keep on getting over each hurdle, sooner or later i will be looking at the undisputed heavy champion of the world. good morning, a windy start as the tail end of storm atiyah clears. the showers should fade. all the details coming up shortly.

good morning. we have jo we havejo swinson we have jo swinson from we havejo swinson from the liberal democrats coming up. it's monday ninth december. our top story: at least one person has been killed and others are unaccounted for after a volcano erupted suddenly off the north coast of new zealand. up to 50 tourists were visiting the volcano on what's known as whakaari, or white island when it started spewing ash into the air. charlotte gallagher has more. plumes of ash shot thousands of feet into the air by the eruption, just moments before people were seen walking inside the rim of the volcanic crater. this is one of new zealand's most active volcanoes, but it's also a popular trip for visitors. this footage filmed by someone who was on the island just 30 minutes before the eruption. it appears helicopters used to fly people there are destroyed. a huge operation is now under way.

we initially believed there were 100 people on or near the island. we now know that there is fewer than 50. some of these people have been transported to shore. however there is a number still remaining on the island, who are currently unaccounted for. i can confirm there is one fatality. and, based on information we have, it is likely to be more. this is the first eruption here since 2016, but last week geological experts warned the volcano could be more active than normal. now all efforts will be focussed on rescuing the day trippers caught in a natural disaster. the eruption happened just after two o'clock local time. we can speak now to katie bradford from new zealand broadcaster tvnz. thank you forjoining us. we are hearing that press conference was about two hours ago, talking about

the people who are still unaccounted for, what more can you bring us, what is the latest? good morning, we are waiting for another press conference from police. a5 are waiting for another press conference from police. as you heard in that one a couple of hours ago with the prime minister and civil defence were also there, they said one person was dead and 25 or 26 people still missing who were on the island at the time. the fact that police are holding another press conference so late at night here and so soon after the last one, means they have some kind of update about they have some kind of update about the search and rescue operation to get people off the island. the problem has been the ash has been rev every where and details are sketchy about how many people managed to get there. is that is what we are expecting in the update. what other developments, the australian prime minister, scott morrison has been tweeting about this and he says he understands a

number of australians are caught up in it. we believe the person who is dead is australian. it is expected other nationalities are involved, given it is a big tourist activity. thank you for that. katie is keeping a close eye on that and my more details we have, we will bring you. details throughout the day on the the bbc news channel as well. we will be speaking tojo swinson in a few minutes about her policies and what might happen with the general election. let's go to louise in crewe now on the last stop of the bbc‘s election tour. good morning. i'm in the signal box, which dates back to the 18005. this one came from exeter, so i can't do any damage if move anything. in about 20 minutes we will hear from

voters who are still unsure. our political correspondent chris mason can tell us more. you get the sense that politicians have a lot of work to do and they will be doing that today and tomorrow? yes they will focus on their main objectives, it is about their main objectives, it is about the main lines for them, none of the branch lines, the absolute core messages. from boris johnson branch lines, the absolute core messages. from bori5johnson we will get brexit and see boris messages. from bori5johnson we will get brexit and see bori5johnson in leave—voting labour strongholds, the places that they hope they can snatch. he will be in sunderland today. what about labour? they will talk about public services and nationalising industries and their plan for the first 100 days in government and the liberal democrats will talk about another brexit referendum and the snp talking about more powers for the scottish

parliament and promises from the likes 5 of plaid cymru and the greens. they're saying people are paying attention, let's focus on our co re paying attention, let's focus on our core messages. you paying attention, let's focus on our core messages. you think people, you have been talking about this for a long time, so have we on break fast, but people will be thinking, now i need to concentrate. i know you're with us in the next half an hour and we have so much to look forward to. cani we have so much to look forward to. can i move this one? no you may have to help me, chris. but only i'm qualified. shall i see if i can do it. don't touch it, chris. i can hear her struggling. don't touch the levers! what a hideous mess this is turning into. you can ask chris

mason anything you would like to know about the election and what might happen after and what has been happening and that is live on social media if you're out and about today. the world anti doping agency will decide today whether russia should receive an unprecedented four—year ban from all major international sporting events. it follows an investigation which found the country 5 authorities had tampered with computer data showing athletes had cheated. if the ban is imposed, russia's flag will be removed from the tokyo olympics and the 2022 football world cup. winds across the south west of england are expected to strengthen this morning, as storm atiyah continues to make an impact. with winds reaching over 80—miles—per—hour, the storm, which arrived from ireland, has already caused severe travel disruption and left thousands

of homes without power. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. the wind is the main feature and storm atiyah has moved across the uk and ireland and we have had winds up to 83mph on the isle of wight. the winds will ease and it will feel colder and there will be fewer showers. the satellite shows the cloud associated with storm atiyah. a lot of isobars showing the windy conditions. a ridge of high pressure will be building from the west later, that will mean the winds will ease and the heaviest of the showers fade. plenty of showers down the east coast of england with winds up to 70mph. this morning some snow flurries in scotland. by this afternoon most places looking dry, lots of blue sky and sunshine, but

that won't lift the temperatures. only four to ten degrees. tonight, initially an early frost once the sun sets. temperatures dipping. but things are turning milder, because the next area of rain and winds moves in during the early hours of tuesday morning. east anglia and the south—east seeing a cold, clear saturday to tuesday. wet and windy elsewhere and that area of wind and rain pushes east across the uk through the day. gales at times possible and the weather could cause some disruption. the heaviest wane in the north —— rain in the north and west. temperatures ten to 13. and unsettled through the rest of the week. here on breakfast we've invited the leaders of all the main political parties to join us for an extended conversation and most of them have accepted.

today it's the turn of the lib dem leader, jo swinson, who started her campaign as "britain's next prime minister", but has now down—graded that ambition to simply preventing the conservatives from winning a working majority. good morning, jo swinson. lovely to be with you. we have plenty of time. there is loads of things to talk about. a5 plenty of time. there is loads of things to talk about. as we mentioned, when you first sort of stepped on to that, the election stage i suppose, you were talking about revoking article 50, do you think looking back that was a mistake considering how that position has shifted to where we are now? well, liberal democrats want to remain in the eu. a5 do millions of people around the country. and i think it is important that people have that choice in this election. it hasn't worked, it has not cut through. we are going to make gains on thursday. and the policy is popular with people who want to

remain in the eu. we want to stop brexit through democratic means, whether through a general election or as it now looks more likely way to do it is through a people's vote, which the liberal democrats have been leading on and we have been arguing for this for three and a half years and it is something the more liberal democrats are in parliament, the more likely it is we can make that happen. that is a shift. it was about revoking article 50. you were warned it wasn't a good idea and they were right. we want to stop brexit and whatever the best and the most straight forward route to doing that is what we are standing out and we set out the ways we might do that and at this stage we might do that and at this stage we can see where the polls are getting to, the most important poll is on thursday, but that is where we need to make sure if we want to stop

brexit, the first task has to stop boris brexit, the first task has to stop bori5johnson getting brexit, the first task has to stop boris johnson getting a brexit, the first task has to stop bori5johnson getting a majority for what he would push through is his ha rd what he would push through is his hard brexit deal with the risk we crash out of the eu with no deal at the end of next year, because they refused to rule that out and nobody thinks they will negotiate a trade deal within a year and if that is what happens, we are going to be in yea rs what happens, we are going to be in years and years of negotiations, it is going to be like brexit groundhog day. one thing you said, i listened to the messages from your campaign is trying to bring a broken country together, how can you do that, when you stood on revoke article 50 that the more people who voted to leave the more people who voted to leave the eu, your ignoring them by that stance? well, i am not going to change what i believe because a focus group might say there is a different message. why am i in

politics, what am i wanting to achieve? i want us to remain in the eu, so do millions of people in the country, because it will be better forjobs, our country, because it will be better for jobs, our nhs country, because it will be better forjobs, our nhs and the environment and workers' rights and we still have the opportunity to make that future happen and i want to make sure that people have the opportunity to choose that, because this is about what future we are handing on to our children. do you think you have run a bad campaign, when you consider, you launched it not only about revoking article 50, but talked of being be prime minister, that would involve a jump from the mp5 you had in 2017 of over 2,000%. you're laughing, but it is unrealistic. what we had at the start of the campaign was four parties who had been around or about 20%, labour, conservative, liberal democrat and brexit and in a

four—party fight in our first past the post system, there is huge opportunity to do something do different. obviously the cosy stitch up different. obviously the cosy stitch up between nigel farage and boris johnson has made that picture different and i recognise that and i'm reflecting that. but why did you say i want to be prime minister, it would have been the biggest political turn around in history? that is what i'm just explaining, with that level of volatility and that uncertainty, when you had the four different parties vying in a system in a winner takes all scenario, then literally we had polling which showed there would be hundreds of seats in play. are you saying you could have been prime minister if it wasn't for nigel farage and the deal with the tories. the deal between boris farage and the deal with the tories. the deal between bori5johnson and nigel farage massively changed the

figures, because it changed the winning post. you still think if that hadn't happened you would be prime minister. i'm not suggesting we didn't start out with ambitious bold. there is nothing wrong with ambition, but it lacked realism. there is a genuine opportunity to do something different, to create a different future where we remain in the eu and have the benefits for prosperity and public services, to get on with tackling the climate emergency, and i want that future. i wa nt emergency, and i want that future. i want that vision. and i want to be able to deliver that and i am not going to apologise for being ambitious, because i want that better future for my children. what do you think your message has not been cutting through. you have done a will the of debates and interviews, is there something we don't know about you this morning that you want the electorate to

know? i mean, i'm enjoying doing these debates and i've done a lot, i've showed up, jeremy corbyn hasn't done this interview yet. he still has a few days. have you got him booked in? it is under discussion. i showed up and did the andrew neil interview, boris showed up and did the andrew neil interview, bori5johnson showed up and did the andrew neil interview, boris johnson ran showed up and did the andrew neil interview, bori5johnson ran away from that. i have been happy to argue for the things i believe in that the liberal democrats want to see. what i haven't been able to put my case is directly against boris johnson and jeremy corbyn, because they did, that was an establishment stitch up to shut me out of debates that went ahead as a head—to—head. if you lack at the polls and i know it will sound cruel and i don't mean it will sound cruel and i don't mean it to sound cruel, it seems more people get to know you, the less popular you become?” people get to know you, the less popular you become? i know this is the narrative and i have seen things

that say differently among people who share my values it is a very different picture. we do have a divided country. i am not taking a fudged position. i'm being clear. i wa nt to fudged position. i'm being clear. i want to keep our united kingdom together. there is a lot of people who don't want that. i want to keep the uk in the eu and so that can divide opinion. but i'm not, you know i'm not in this to try to chart some neutral territory. i want to change the way things are and i i think things can be better and i will stand up for what i believe in. does that concern you, the popularity position, policies are important and popularity position, policies are importantand a popularity position, policies are important and a lot of people will a lwa ys important and a lot of people will always vote the same, but personality does make a difference and you say other polls don't, some people are watching you and don't

like what they see, is that painful? ican like what they see, is that painful? i can only be myself. i get lots and lots of advice and i'm not short of people telling me i should speak differently or wear different shoes orre ear rings. a5 differently or wear different shoes orre ear rings. as if that is going to be the thing that changes the polls. for clarity, no one in your election team is suggesting that? no, but i'm getting, i get these these gems of advice that come to me. iam these gems of advice that come to me. i am who i am and some people will not like the way i dress or talk or my accent or whatever. and fine. ina talk or my accent or whatever. and fine. in a sense that is their problem. i will stand fine. in a sense that is their problem. iwill stand here, do the best i can, arguing for the positions that i believe in. because ido positions that i believe in. because i do believe our politics can be better and i'm going to be true to myself. on a smaller side, you talk

of the way you dress, do you think a male politician would have the same suggestions made to them in terms of dress a different way to appeal to the voters? i'm certain that that would not happen at anything like the same scale. of course i get asked different questions. during the the leadership campaign this yeari the the leadership campaign this year i was asked whether i was going to have any more children. you know we have another... candidate in this campaign that won't even confirm how many children he has! in is a lot of questions that get asked of women that don't get asked of men and that is something i want to change. we live in a world that is sexist and the way to change that is by having more women in leadership positions and that sometimes means they will get additionalflak and that sometimes means they will get additional flak and your copresenter will experience this as well. women athletes experience this. women in all sorts of parts of

public life experience this. if we wa nt to public life experience this. if we want to have a more equal world and think about the world for my sons and nieces and nephews and children growing up, we have to say, ok, you can bea growing up, we have to say, ok, you can be a young woman and be a political leader. some people won't like that. but it won't stop me.” wa nt to like that. but it won't stop me.” want to talk about compromise, because this could be crucial, so do ta ke because this could be crucial, so do take the opportunity to have a drink of water. it could be the case that you find yourself as potential king—makers in westminster. who are you going to work with? i'm going to work with people who want to stop brexit. a5 work with people who want to stop brexit. as i have been for the last... two and a half years. clarity is important, you won't work with the conservatives or boris johnson? i have worked with conservative mp5, labour mp5, green mp5 and nationalist mp5 and we have stopped brexit twice. if we have

more liberal democrat mp5 we have more liberal democrat mp5 we have more opportunity to stop brexit for good. but you will have to, we work, you conceded you won't be prime minister, so it could be the case that you have to support one of those,in that you have to support one of those, in the same way the liberal democrats did in 2010. that is not the only way it can work. so nobody‘s talking about coalitions and certainly not with boris nobody‘s talking about coalitions and certainly not with bori5johnson and certainly not with bori5johnson and jeremy corbyn. you know how the system works, if there is a hung parliament you could be in an important position. where will you put your support, for the sake of clarity, people who will be making their decision based on what could happen on thursday, where do you stand? and i mean, you say sort of coalition is the only thing that can happen. in a balanced parliament where there is no majority, you need to have individual groups of 5 of

mp5 working together and that isn't necessarily in a formal coalition. i'm clear neither boris necessarily in a formal coalition. i'm clear neither bori5johnson nor jeremy corbyn are fit to be prime minister for different reasons. and therefore liberal democrat votes will not put either of them in no ten. we will, if we stage vote for legislation to have a people's vote so people can scrutinise the final brexit deal and choose whether they wa nt brexit deal and choose whether they want that or to remain in the eu and we have demonstrated our willingness to work on a genuine cross party basis over the last couple of years in parliament. are there people that you would work with, outsidejeremy corbyn and boris johnson, you would work with, outsidejeremy corbyn and bori5johnson, if the leader changes, would you work with them? we are talking about hypotheticals, but it is possible the parties may go in a different direction and i hope we will get some better leadership in those other parties, because i don't think

it is doing our country much good to be given that unappetising choice and it is why people shake their heads at politics. i don't think i'm the only one to thinkjeremy corbyn and boris johnson seems the only one to thinkjeremy corbyn and bori5johnson seems a rubbish choice. you might be in a situation, where you have to work with the labour party and you're having a pop atjeremy corbyn and you have done for some weeks and the labour are attacking you for your record when you were working with the conservatives, some of the things you voted for, the bedroom tax, you voted against high benefits to long—term disabled and against benefits rise for people in line with inflation as well and now you're saying, no, i would like to reverse those, you can imagine people watching are thinking how can i trust you, when these are the policies you're promising now and you voted against them or in the opposite direction when you were in

power? when we were sharing power we had fight after fight with the conservative and we won many of the fight and we got more money into schools for the poorest pupils. you voted for thing you now disagree with. the whole nature of a coalition is you don't get your own way onning theest everything. we weren't implementing a liberal democrat plan. what i'm setting out in my plans is what we would do and thatis in my plans is what we would do and that is about extra money for universal credit for the poorest people in work, because it is too ha rd to people in work, because it is too hard to make ends meet and putting investment into schools and when you have schools crowdfunding, it is a sign they're not being funded and we tackle the mental health crisis, because one in four of us have mental health problems. but people are waiting months for treatment. we

seen you boxing and running, when you run, you speak to runners, it is an opportunities to take themselves away from everything they're doing. i love running. what do you think about when you're running?m va'aies. —— varies, sometimes it is work stuff you process through and sometimes i like running outdoors, i prefer outdoors rather than the gym and green spaces and i listen to the birds. sounds on. i used to run with head phones on i used to listen to madonna, but now i listen to if i'm near a river or a stream or birds singing and soak up the beauty of the world and not only is it great to get the heart rate up, i feel it is nurturing for the mind as well. have you ever found yourself running through a field of wheat? no, but plenty of muddy fields and running

in storms and you have to head out and it makes it easier on the day of the marathon. i know you're going do some other interviews. jo swinson thank you. this only one left, jeremy corbyn if you're out there, you have a few days to get on the the programme and complete our set of leaders in the build up to the general election. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. throughout the night we had some strong windy across wales and the south of england all linked into the store moving east but it is way out

there toward scandinavia at the moment but some strong winds for a time this morning across eastern areas of england before this ridge of high pressure moves in and you could get something more subtle into this afternoon. a few showers around this afternoon. a few showers around this morning particularly across scotla nd this morning particularly across scotland where it'll be wintry of a high ground with the shells becoming confined towards the eastern areas. for most of us looking mostly dry this afternoon with the sunshine and maximum temperatures will be getting up maximum temperatures will be getting up to about 5—9. the cloud. to thicken up across scotland and also northern ireland and the cloud thinking all the while in these errors. then a bit of a false developing across eastern parts of england whereas further west it'll be frost free as that rain spreads in full tuesday, the windy picking up in full tuesday, the windy picking up throughout the morning and overnight temperatures stay above freezing of course in these western errors but below freezing in the east. cloud and rain spreading across eastern parts, gail is likely

particularly around irish sea coasts and some heavy rain at times especially in the north—west later on in the day and temperatures will be coming up a little bit, mild as spreading in from the south—west, about 9—12. that milder air is there but then it will move eastwards as we go into wednesday so, colder conditions developing throughout wednesday, quite a deep area of high pressure, that'll bring in some showers across northern and western areas and as it gets colder, those will turn to snow, many over the high ground, strong windy expected in the far north of the uk, showers feeding and elsewhere on wednesday but brighter and drier weather especially so compared to tuesday. a chilly day, look at those temperatures, down to six. that is all from me. bye—bye. this is worklife from bbc news, with sally bundock and nuala mcgovern. france debates toughening its anti—waste laws, which could see firms and individuals fined for throwing unwanted items in the bin.
