good morning — welcome to breakfast with dan walker our headlines today: president trump takes a ride in a motercade to greet supporters outside the medical centre where he's being treated for coronavirus. in a video posted from hospital, he says he now understands the virus. i learned a lot about covid, i learned it by really going to school, this is the real school, this isn't the real ‘let‘s read the book school', and i get it, i understand it.

almost 16,000 cases of coronavirus weren't entered into the test and trace system last week — the government blames a ‘technical error‘. who's 007‘s latest victim? could it be cineworld? they're weighing up the closure of all of their uk screens after the bond release was delayed again. 5,500 jobs are at risk. the premier league is all at sixes and sevens. champions liverpool concede seven goals at aston villa, and manchester united lose 6—1 at home to tottenham. good morning from beautiful hever castle intent. showers will be happy and thundering in the west, and plenty blustering. more details on about ten minutes. —— thundery. it's monday 5 october. our top story: president trump has briefly left the hospital where he's being treated for coronavirus to greet well—wishers who were gathered outside.

the impromptu appearance, which mr trump described on twitter as a surprise for patriots, came after it emerged that his condition is worse than was first suggested by white house officials. 0ur north america correspondent david willis has more. the us government's medical experts have advised coronavirus patients to stay in their room and only venture out if it's medically necessary. not this patient. accompanied by secret service agents in protective gear, president trump embarked on a slow drive around the walter reed medical center to wave to supporters who've maintained a vigil there since he was admitted three days ago.

he teased the trip on twitter after paying tribute to those who've been treating him. so, it's been a very interesting journey. i learnt a lot about covid. i learnt it by really going to school. this is the real school. this isn‘t the ‘let‘s read the book‘ school. and i get it. and i understand it. but something he hasn‘t learnt enough. but some think he hasn‘t learnt enough. an attending physician at walter reed, drjames phillips, described the drive—by as an active political theatre that could cost the secret agents involved their lives, that "the irresponsibility is astounding." following several days of confusion and contradiction surrounding the president‘s condition, further details have emerged. despite saying his condition continues to improve, his medical team confirmed that his blood oxygen level dropped twice in recent days and that they gave him a steroid typically recommended only for the very sick.

pressed about how their information had conflicted with that from the white house, the president‘s personal physician acknowledged he painted a deliberately rose—tinted picture of his patient‘s condition. i was trying to reflect the upbeat attitude that the team, the president — that his course of illness has had. i didn‘t want to give any information that might steer the course of illness in another direction. and in doing so, you know, it came off that we were trying to hide something, which wasn‘t necessarily true. what is true is that the president is being aggressively treated with a cocktail of drugs, as well as an experimental antibody therapy, and a course of remdesivir, which curbs the virus‘ ability to multiply. these include dexamethasone, a steroid tested in the uk, it works by calming the immune system but is rarely used on patients who are experiencing only mild symptoms of covid—i9. indeed, guidance from the world health organization specifies that dexamethasone is recommended for the treatment of those with severe and critical covid—i9, and particularly, those on ventilators.

and despite being on a five—day course of remdesivir, the president‘s doctors say he could be leaving hospital later today. with the president grounded, his democratic rival remains on the virtual campaign trail. senior democrats say they hope the president‘s diagnosis will change his attitude towards the coronavirus, but that remains to be seen. david joins us now from los angeles. david, how has the american public reacted to the way mr trump has handled his illness? how is this going down with the american public? i have to say there has been widespread criticism of the president‘s actions on social media. indeed, a visiting doctor at the walter reed hospital, doctorjames phillips, described the president‘s drive—by is an political theatre that could cost the secret service agents involved in their lives. he said that because the presidential limousine is hermetically sealed to guard against the possibility of chemical attacks. the risk of covert

i9x chemical attacks. the risk of covert 19 x mac covid—i9 transmission in it is as risky as it gets and he described it as insanity. the white house as this was appropriate and appropriate measures were taken including checking with the health experts but i have to say that the first lady, melania trump, also diagnosed positive, was asked why she hadn‘t visited her husband and she hadn‘t visited her husband and she said simply because she didn‘t wa nt to she said simply because she didn‘t want to give the agents who would drive her their exposure to the coronavirus. it would seem that she gets it but perhaps her husband doesn‘t. gets it but perhaps her husband doesn't. david, thank you very much. that is something we will be looking at throughout the programme. the number of people with coronavirus in england is 16,000 higher than was previously reported — because of a technical glitch. public health england say the cases were not entered into the national computer system until the weekend — causing a dramatic spike

in the numbers. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is in westminster. chris — this will surely raise more questions over the government‘s ability to test, track and trace. it is significant because it has several knock—on consequences. when we we re several knock—on consequences. when we were first reporting the daily totals of positive cases just a couple of days ago, we now know that number was much lower than it should have been but there is an additional, more important twist to all of this. people who are asking for tests and getting tests at the tail end of last month were getting them as normal and crucially they we re them as normal and crucially they were getting their results as normal but the data wasn‘t then being passed on to be put into the system and published and so, those positive people who had had a test and had the virus, their contacts were not being traced either. thousands upon thousands of people who came into

contact with those who went on to test positive were not then traced by the test and trace system in order to be told to self isolate because of their potential exposure to the virus and of course, in that context, they may have then come down with symptoms and had been spreading it when if the system had worked they wouldn‘t have been. significant consequences in the practical sense, and in the political sense as the government grapples with trying to maintain public confidence as we travel towards the autumn and winter and the expectation as the prime minister says that it was a bumpy road ahead. heading towards half term as well, some of the papers are talking about it. the traffic light system. what can you tell us? this isa system. what can you tell us? this is a plan that has been kicked around privately amongst health officials in the last couple of weeks, not yet announced but the idea is to make in england the

system more easy to understand. because we have this patchwork quilt of different rules and regulations that are constantly changing all over the country, that would have a 3-2 over the country, that would have a 3—2 your system and where you lived would fall into all of those tears from the most to the least severe and something in between. —— covid—i9. in the hope we would be better able to understand what was happening where we were and where we might want to travel to. chris, as always, thank you. bars and cafes in paris will be closed for at least 15 days from tomorrow as the french authorities try to combat a rise in covid—i9 cases. restaurants will be allowed to stay open by introducing further safety measures, while universities in the capital have been told to halve the number of students. the city of marseille closed bars and restaurants last week.

rescue teams in france and italy are continuing to search for survivors from the flash floods caused by storm alex.at least four people have died and up to 20 are still missing — including a group of eight people who were seen being swept away. paul hawkins reports. this was the picturesque town of breil—sur—roya in the french alps. but four months of rain in just one day meant devastating landslides have cut off the town. translation: all i worry about is my kids down the valley. rescue efforts are concentrated here with roughly 1,000 firefighters backed by helicopters and the army, the french government declaring the wider region a national disaster zone. two hours‘ drive from here is the village of saint—martin—vesubie, population 1,400 — or at least, it was. it is also now cut off by the aftermath of storm alex, so many are leaving. many are being evacuated

by helicopter here to the city of nice, 55km south, where aid is being packed and sent out of villages across the region. meanwhile, a ito—minute drive from here along the coast of italy, the city of ventimiglia is also cleaning up. with shops and restaurants destroyed by the water, many are asking the government to declare a state of emergency. with both france and italy‘s economies hit badly by the pandemic already, this is the last thing they needed. paul hawkins, bbc news. pumpkin news now. you‘ve heard of pumpkins. well, these really are pumped—kins! veg growers in america marked the start of autumn this weekend at the wisconsin giant pumpkin contest. squash weighing around 100 stone were on display. some were so heavy they had to moved by a fork—lift truck.

honestly. it‘s a big old unit, that. carol is out and about with the weather for us this morning. she is in hever castle in kent. good morning. good morning everyone. you are absolutely right. some parts of the uk at one month worth of rain injust three of the uk at one month worth of rain in just three days and there are lots of flood warnings in force at the moment but here it hever castle, it is dry. it is the former childhood home of the second wife of henry viii, anne boleyn, the mother of elizabeth the first, dating back to the 13th century and its crenellated, it is motored and allegedly also wanted. —— moated. you can see the virginia creeper in boston iv. it is dry here at the

moment but the forecast for this week remains unsettled. we still are going to be looking at some sunny spells but also some showers and some of those showers will be heavy, potentially thundery with hail and it‘s also meant to be blustery and windy in the south. what we have todayis windy in the south. what we have today is a weather front draped across northern ireland, south—west england and wales and into the channel islands producing rain. slowly moving eastwards during the day. fog in south—west scotland in south—west england with for visibility and some of the valleys. asimilarthing as visibility and some of the valleys. a similar thing as well. showers move north while in between, we see drier conditions but must re— wind, particularly the southwest and channel islands with a temperature range today roughly 12— 17 degrees. this evening and overnight, low dominating weather starts track a bit further, dragging the rain north across parts of england and wales and also parts of western scott

wind. there are few showers around, heavy and thundery. temperature—wise, between about eight and 12 degrees, still windy in the south as well. windy during the course of tuesday, especially south—west england and also the channel islands. sunshine and showers, merging and parts of the west to give longer spells of rain. temperature is very similar to what we‘re looking at today, 12— 18 degrees. the forecast for the rest of the week does remain unsettled for most of us as well. we will be back throughout the morning with you. let‘s take a look at some of today‘s front pages. the guardian has seen leaked government documents which suggest a new three—tier lockdown is planned for england, which it says is potentially paving the way for harsher restrictions including the closure of pubs and a ban on all social contact outside household groups.

the daily telegraph reports that more than 15,000 positive coronavirus cases have not been been entered in the test and trace computer system. the paper says a ten—day delay means thousands of people who have been exposed to coronavirus have not been told to self—isolate. the mirror‘s headline is horror at the movies, as the paper reports that up to 5,500 cineworld staff could lose theirjobs. it comes amid reports that the chain will close all of its 127 cinemas until next year. 0nline, the new york times reports on president trump‘s surprise outing from his hospital bed. the paper says mr trump is seeking to dispel any perception of weakness, but updates from his doctors could suggest his condition is more serious than he would like us to believe.

we will be talking to a number of guests throughout the morning about that. watching you walk into the studio after your virtual marathon was a bit entertaining, a bit like a bundaberg. it was an extra ordinary atmosphere, waking up early in the morning to go and drive to our starting point, we saw someone running along the road in the dark. we asked if he was doing the virtual marathon, and all sorts of people all over the world were doing it. you could do it wherever you like. i did it on and off road marathon, which was not a very intelligent thing. and you did it with one of your pals from namibia. thing. and you did it with one of your pals from namibialj thing. and you did it with one of your pals from namibia. i think i sort of misled him slightly. i said would you like to come for a run, i am not sure he knew it was a marathon. it was brilliant, it was an amazing thing to have done. i am in agony but i did finish the marathon, so that is good. i have done the london marathon, but not in

london. i moved some very big boxes around. well done to everybody, if you are feeling a little bit sore this morning, you are not alone. this is an amazing story, and explorer and author who got really ill in early march at the age of 83 with covid—19. he ended on a ventilator, and he has celebrated his recovery aged 84 by climbing the highest peak in cornwall and raising more than £400,000 for healing garden at the cornwall royal college. according to the daily mirror, one in six of us would consider moving to mars if it was possible. more on that throughout the programme. i am not one. there is nothing quite like the cinema experience, but its future could be in doubt. nina has all the details on this one for us. what‘s going on here, nina? good morning, that‘s right.

there is something so special about the cinema experience. but could it be in danger of disappearing? cinemas shut their doors in march along with all other non—essential businesses. they reopened in england from 4 july, with the other nations following soon after. it has been a struggle for venues to make money. restrictions mean it‘s a maximum group of six. masks must be worn when people aren‘t eating. and no late—night showings — films must start before 10:00pm. and then the second problem — what films are there to show? blockbusters are vital to cinema. death on the nile and wonder woman have been delayed. some like disney‘s mulan have gone straight to streaming services. and then over the weekend the news that the big one, no time to die, the 25th bond

instalment, won‘t be released until april. a massive blow to cinema. is there still a hunger to get to the cinema? we asked film lovers in manchester. i think it was november last year. gosh, it was quite awhile ago, i am not a massive cinema going person, unfortunately. last year, december. yes, it has been a long time. we mostly watch netflix and stuff now. it doesn't seem somewhere you would go in it doesn't seem somewhere you would goina it doesn't seem somewhere you would go in a pandemic. and you have to wear your mask, it is not the same experience, you have your popcorn, chitchat, it is not the same. last saturday. it was amazing. people should go to the cinema. so she had a lovely time. a lot of people just are not feeling that confident about going. that‘s a problem. there are just a few weeks left of the government‘s furlough scheme and businesses are having to make tough decisions.

cineworld, one of the uk‘s largest chains, is considering a temporary closure of all its screens. that could impact 5,500 uk jobs. and smaller independent cinemas are also vulnerable to the drop in revenue. the peckhamplex in south london is one of those to have closed the doors, saying they can‘t reopen until the bond film is out. last week, the government announced 42 independent cinemas had been allocated the first £650,000 from the culture recovery fund, with more to follow, plus there is also cash coming for filmmakers. but experts are saying that might not be enough if the distributors and big studios don‘t take a gamble on releasing their movies. we are facing a situation whereby between now and the end of the year there are almost no significant films. and at a time when 80% of uk cinemas are open, we know that the

overwhelming majority of people who returned to the cinema have found it an enjoyable and a safe experience. it isa an enjoyable and a safe experience. it is a source of huge frustration to cinema operators that as it were they feel they have done their bit but the films are not being provided to them to entertain their audiences. the cinema association in the uk says box office numbers are 70% down on this time last year. the christopher nolan film tenet was a hit in august, showing there is an appetite to get back in to cinemas if the name is there. it is the double blow that they cannot get the people in and the delay in the big releases it is huge to see james bond being delayed once again. we saw president trump leave hospital to briefly wave at well—wishers last night and his doctors say he could be allowed back to the white house today.

however, other medical professionals have warned it is much too early for him to be discharged. let‘s speak to doctor syra madad, who is an epidemiologist on the frontline of the pandemic in new york. thank you forjoining us on brea kfast thank you forjoining us on breakfast this morning. we are showing the pictures this morning, we are seeing that footage of the president leaving hospital to greet supporters who are waiting outside. he was in a car. i know it has been heavily criticised. what do you make of what he did? at the moment i would imagine he is still infectious. he is absolutely still infectious. he is absolutely still infectious. you saw quite early on —— he is still quite early in the overall course of the disease so it is mind boggling that he is not even following his own institution‘s public health guidance and actually isolating and not exposing additional individuals. he is obviously in a close quarter vehicle, windows are up, with other individuals within the car. he is

potentially exposing others and so it isa potentially exposing others and so it is a very reckless type of behaviour. not only does it have health implications, it has epidemiological, clinicalandjust overall public health implications. certainly it was a bad idea. i think it was more of a political stunt than anything, to just really show that he may be in command and he is still well. but he isjeopardising the health of many others. there is a doctorjames p phillips who is a chief of disaster medicine at walter reed, the hospital where the president is at the moment, and he overnight said every single person in the vehicle during that com pletely in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary presidential drive—by has to now quarantine for 14 days. they might get sick and they may die. in his words, this is for political theatre. that is absolutely correct. it seems from the get go, unfortunately, that the current administration‘s response has been not abiding by public health guidance. unfortunately is

this shocking? it is not. but is it u nfortu nate ? this shocking? it is not. but is it unfortunate? it is very unfortunate. we had been hoping he models good behaviour but that has unfortunately not been coming out. this is a very alarming situation and while his clinical care team says that he is doing well, he is certainly not out of the woods. we know that with covid—19, from the symptom onset to icu is about ten to 12 days. so he still has some time to see if he is actually out of the woods. based on the treatment he is in, while there isa the treatment he is in, while there is a lot of ambiguity, his clinical course on what day he is in, based on the current treatments he has been given, it seems that he does have a more severe stage of the illness. that is even more alarming, knowing that, on top of hearing that they want to potentially discharge him tomorrow in our time, on monday. it is very unfortunate to hear. given what you have just said, you would be incredibly surprised if the president was to leave the hospital when you take into account the

medication he is currently on. that‘s correct. he has been given three different medications. he has been given an antibody cocktail, he has also been given dexamethasone, and we know that individuals who get that particular steroid are in a more severe state. they need to be monitored very closely, so if he is going to actually be discharged on monday, that means he will require around—the—clock medical care and then he is obviously putting more individuals at higher risk if he is not ina individuals at higher risk if he is not in a hospital environment, where you have isolation rooms for these purposes, for keeping patients who have covid—19. so there is a lot here at risk and we really want to make sure that public health and medical advice is actually being followed and not just medical advice is actually being followed and notjust politics and another individual‘s nonscientific decisions driving the course. as an

epidemiologist, i wonder what you thought of the pictures coming out of the white house office yesterday, so more of the white house office yesterday, so more pictures from the rose garden where the president was there, there were a number of people sitting close to each other and many of them not wearing masks as well. how significant do you think that was in terms of transmission? how significant do you think that was in terms of transmission7m how significant do you think that was in terms of transmission? it is yet to be known whether this is a super spreading events but certainly it has a lot of characteristics. you have a lot of people very close to one anotherfor a have a lot of people very close to one another for a long have a lot of people very close to one anotherfor a long period of time. even though the event was outdoors, you know that certain parts of that event were happening indoors. so a lot of this additional mingling may have been happening indoors in confined spaces with a lot of people. these are all different factors that can enable super spreading events. certainly it is highly plausible that this may be a setting where a number of individuals have become infected with covid—19. and so right now what is very important is anybody that has been exposed in these events

absolutely needs to quarantine. they need to get tested and if they are positive they need to obviously continue to isolate. and if they require wraparound services, they will get the care that they need. so that type of public health messaging is absolutely critical. contact tracing is very, very important. right now we are only seeing the second—generation cases that are coming out from these events. the third—generation cases are going to be coming out in the next days to weeks. so we need to make sure that weeks. so we need to make sure that we have a good pulse on where these new chains of transmission are if we are to prevent a further or larger outbreak from this white house cluster that is starting. thank you so cluster that is starting. thank you so much for being with us on bbc brea kfast so much for being with us on bbc breakfast this morning. that is a bit more detail about what is happening with the president overnight. throughout the programme today will be looking at some of the political impact of that with the american election less than a month away now. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london, i‘m tolu adeoye. public health officials will meet with city hall this week to discuss the possibility of further covid—19 restrictions in london. it comes as the mayor of tower hamlets urged residents not to go to each other‘s houses unless absolutely essential. figures released last week show london has one of the worst rates for the spread of the virus in the country. transport for london has said the cab company 0la can no longer operate in london after it found more than 1,000 passengers had been picked up by unlicensed drivers. tfl says the company is not fit and proper to hold a private hire licence. 0la has three weeks to appeal. a restaurant in ilford has been fined a £1,000 for serving a burger four minutes after the 10:00pm curfew. the met police say they spoke with staff at bim‘s on a number of occasions and fined the venue for community safety reasons. the restaurant has criticised the decison.

they could have been a bit more lenient and they could have just gonein lenient and they could have just gone in there and explained to us that you made a mistake here, you shouldn‘t have said them, you should have asked them to leave because it was going to take you past ten p.m.. and that warning would have been absolutely fine. i am sure the staff would have taken that on board in future and they wouldn‘t serve somebody so close to the deadline. the royal opera house is planning to sell a david hockney portrait to try and raise money to protect its future. it is due to go up at christie‘s later this month and could go for as much as £18 million. let‘s take a look at the travel situation now. the tubes are looking good this morning. 0n the railway, buses replace trains on c2c between pitsea and upminster via basildon. that‘s due to over—running engineering works. turning to the roads, and it‘s slow towards the blackwall tunnel northbound. you can see the queue at blackwall lane.

now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. a big improvement in today‘s weather. it is looking drier than it was at the weekend and it is also going to be feeling a bit warmer as well. starting off with temperatures in high single figures. a few showers around at times this morning, but there will also be some decent spells of sunshine around as well. quite a brisk westerly wind blowing. perhaps a longer spell of rain as we head towards the end of the day and temperatures will be up on where they were yesterday, peaking at 16 01’ they were yesterday, peaking at 16 or 17 celsius. so it won‘t be com pletely or 17 celsius. so it won‘t be completely dry but a much drier day all in all. again watch out for one 01’ all in all. again watch out for one or two showers overnight tonight. we will end the night and 1011 c. we have still got that brisk westerly wind blowing and it will be even more blustery tomorrow. temperatures go down as we head through the rest of the week. so it will be feeling cooler. sunny spells and some showers around on tuesday. it is looking drier, with again some sunshine, but rather blustery north—westerly wind on wednesday and then perhaps some longer spells of rain again by thursday.

i‘m back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bbc radio london is also an hour. now, though, it‘s back to dan and louise. bye for now. hello this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. we‘ll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning. is it a bird? is it a plane? no, it‘s a 90—year—old pat baker, who fancied celebrating her birthday with a freefall skydive yesterday. now she‘s back on solid earth and ready to tell us how it went. the saturdays singer turned radio 1 presenter mollie king was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of 10. she‘ll be telling us why she wants more support for children

with the condition. and speaking of former girl band stars — we have one of the original trailblazers for you. mel c will be spicing up the show before nine o‘clock. good morning, here‘s a summary of today‘s main stories from bbc news. get a medical view on the increase in coronavirus cases as a result of issues with the track and tracing system. issues with the track and tracing syste m. h ow issues with the track and tracing system. how should the system work? in theory, when you get a positive test, you need to self isolate was also important as all the people you‘ve been in close with you could

have potentially given the virus too. they should also be notified and that is what test and trace does, getting tossed with all the people in contact with you and they will ask them to self isolate so they stayed home or two weeks and that should reduce the spread of the virus. a person ‘s got the virus for sure, they can spread it and the people who might have it also shouldn‘t spread it. people who might have it also shouldn't spread it. the fact these 16,000 people, their numbers were taken at that point, we know that the people they are in contact with, they weren‘t contacted either. what kind of impact does that have? potentially it would allow the virus to spread. if i was a contact of somebody who had been given a positive test and i didn‘t know, i would carry on doing my normal things and potentially i would be passing the virus on to other

people. the number of cases of covid—19 we see will be increasing. it's covid—19 we see will be increasing. it‘s probably difficult to put a number on it? yes, because it's so individual. if you are a very social person, there are a number of factors ta ken into person, there are a number of factors taken into account. we will see the numbers going up. how much of it is from this and how much of it is the case is going up as the virus increases. if there is a delay in contacting people, that is an issue? if there is a delay in telling people that one of your contacts telling people that one of your co nta cts was telling people that one of your contacts was positive, ideally within 48 hours is what people should be told. you‘ve been in contact with somebody, you need to self isolate. that reduces their rate of transmission. 0ther countries put in a similar system should be more slick with it and rigid, they‘ve managed to do it very

well to keep control, to keep the level down at the right place so the economy can keep going. tell us about in your surgery, are you noticing an impact from the increasing cases? we certainly see that winter is arriving and a lot of people who are having symptoms that could be covid—19 but also more tests coming. we get a copy of —— copy of those results a few days after and we are seeing more of those come back as positive and we are certainly having to assess more people than we did two, three weeks ago, who could have had it and doing an assessment of how severely it‘s affecting them. we are seeing the impact at work. we know you are not his doctor, obviously, and president trump has coronavirus. tell us what

you know about it and how it normally proceeds because we understand day 7—10 might be critical. it's very hard to comment ona critical. it's very hard to comment on a patient you don‘t know but generally, around about the start of the second week, that‘s when people we re the second week, that‘s when people were going to take a turn for the worse off and do and that‘s when we are more careful with monitoring them. that‘s what seems like what has happened. he‘s had to be sent to hospital. and that would follow with the pattern we know. some of the treatments he‘s had, they are probably not treatments we would routinely be using. but he is the president of the united states so they are getting a lot of these treatments started in him so it‘s interesting to see. what we need to

remember is, covid doesn‘t differentiate or discriminate, anyone can get it and it is a very real threat. it is 6:36am. sally is here to look ata it is 6:36am. sally is here to look at a bonkers day of football. imagine if you lose 6—1 at home like manchester united did, you would be guaranteed to be top of the sports bulletin. how relieved would ole have been when he saw that the champions got thrashed last night? what is going on? i feel a bit sorry this morning the aston villa fans. imagine your sphere if they had the fans in last night. the premier league has given us remarkable results but nothing quite like what we saw at old trafford and villa park yesterday. it was a day to forget for the

country‘s two most successful clubs, and one their opponents weren‘t in a hurry. 0llie watkins in only his third premier league game, the summer third premier league game, the summer signing grabbed a first half trick as villa took liverpool apart. dean smith‘s side looked far from the one that fought relegation last season. it's green for villa and it‘s a magnificent seven. season. it's green for villa and it's a magnificent seven. 7-2, the final score. jurgen klopp said it best. he made too many mistakes, massive mistakes obviously. if you wa nt to massive mistakes obviously. if you want to lose 7—2, years ago, we said we wa nted want to lose 7—2, years ago, we said we wanted to create history, that was history tonight. but it was the wrong one. in manchester, an imperious tottenham run riot, quite remarkable feat given it was their fourth game in seven days. time after time, manchester united‘s defensive frailties were exposed.

tottenham‘s task was made somewhat easy but truth be told, united‘s defence continue to help out. it's all going wrong the manchester united. spurs said them for six and 0le gunnar solskjaer was hurting. it's 0le gunnar solskjaer was hurting. it‘s the worst day of my career as a man united manager, it‘s probably the worst day for probably all these players as well. everyone makes today —— mistakes and today we made loads, in the game and that shows the result. it might cost a few pennies for united‘s chief executive, especially on transfer deadline day. details of all the weekend‘s games are on the bbc sport website including the scottish premiership, where rangers are still one point ahead of celtic at the top, after both enjoyed 2—nil wins rangers at home to ross county and celtic at stjohnston, thanks to two late goals, one from leigh griffiths, on his first appearance of the season, as he returns to match fitness.

notts 0utlaws are the new t20 blast champions, after they beating surrey at edgbaston. bad weather meant the match was reduced to sixteen overs a side and england‘s jason roy put on a 90—run parternship with laurie evans for surrey, to give notts a target of 128. an unbeaten half—century from ben duckett helped the 0utlaws to victory by six wickets. britain‘s lizzie deignan has won the women‘s liege—bastogne—liege cycle race — she‘s now won two of the major one—day races known as ‘monuments‘. there was an incredible finish in the men‘s race. julian alaphilippe — wearing the rainbow stripes — thought he‘d won it but he raised his arms too soon — he didn‘t spot the yellow and black jersey to his right — and primoz roglic, whojust missed out on winning the tour de france, took the victory by millimetres. no crowds of course at the london marathon but there was no shortage of drama.world record holder

eliud kipchoge could only manage eighth but there was an exciting sprint finish with ethipopian shura kitata just pipping kenyan vincent kipchumba to the line. the conditions were cold and wet for both the men‘s and women‘s events. world record holder brigid kosguy won the women‘s race after going clear of world champion ruth chepengetich to retain her title. there was disappointment for britain‘s david weir, who was going for a ninth victory in the men‘s wheelchair race. he finished second behind brent lakatos from canada who had too much pace in the home stretch. with the amateur runners not allowed to take part, 45,000 people completed the marathon wherever they could. 0rganisers said they believed every runner would serve as a beacon of light in uncertain times — and that the race would help raise tens of millions for charities.

someone this room was racing yesterday. how did it go? expect someone yesterday. how did it go? expect someone in this room? it was brilliant. my friend rob joins someone in this room? it was brilliant. my friend robjoins me in without him, honestly, i don‘t think i could have done it. he literally ran, walked, the dogsjoined me at some point as well. i chose a really tough route. that looks a bit hilly. there were steps. there were gates. well done everybody. we feel your pain. if you are feeling pain this morning, you are not alone and well done if you did. one of the cruellest effects of coronavirus has been its impact on the residents of care homes. an estimated 18,000 of them died — according to amnesty international — and those who survived were cut off from their loved ones for weeks or even months. with positive cases on the rise, many care homes are once again bringing down

the shutters, but this time a growing number of relatives are demanding the right to visit. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin has been to meet some of them. life is not worth living, really. she just cries and she isjust saying, "take me home." what do you your mum in those moments? um... you‘ve been broken by this, haven‘t you? yes, yeah. well, sometimes, i'll... i will say to her that i'm going to bring her home. with new restrictions across the uk, hundreds

of thousands of people are once again separated, isolated and heartbroken. her care home lot down at the beginning of march, seven months later, they are still locked down. in six months, nicola has seen her mother only twice on a garden visit. now even they are again banned. she said to me the other day, i would banned. she said to me the other day, iwould rather die banned. she said to me the other day, i would rather die than be locked up. my mum's mother died in april. she says to me, how is louis? he was her best friend. he died six months ago. i can‘t tell that. there‘s nobody there to comfort her. and how long is this going to go on for? but with a quarter of all covid deaths in care homes, officials say this is necessary to protect people like maggie. i don't really want to protect and, thank you very much. she has survived covid but now faces

isolation. maggie has ms and in window visits with her daughter, she‘s been able to articulate what many feel? what do you feel about these window visits? they are inhuman. and last week emma broke the news that even these visits have to stop. ijust feel like crying. covid is going on the backdoor and the front door is being shut the families. how long is that going to go on my mum? i don't know how long, maybe a few months, a few weeks, ten years but the average life expect and seek in a nursing home is two years. it's a difficult line for ca re years. it's a difficult line for care homes to walk. this home has had no covid deaths and no visitors because it‘s in an area that has had co nsta nt because it‘s in an area that has had constant restrictions. we didn't lose anybody but you are concerned that in protecting people so fully, so that in protecting people so fully, so brilliantly from covid, that there is another risk moving forward , there is another risk moving forward, that they might lose hope? there is a risk, and it‘s scary because we‘ve done everything we can

to replace the affection given by the family but not family. until we are certain that nobody has got an idea, it‘s too risky. are certain that nobody has got an idea, it's too risky. we need to get a picture frame. after six months facing down the threat of covid... this is teresa. wide care home residents are now fighting a new battle. to maintain hope. is this 0k? attract battle. to maintain hope. is this ok? attract as deadly as the virus itself. perfect. when you are still able to go out walking. visits are now banned across much of the uk. in england, the government says its priority is infection control and it‘s invested in technology for care homes to keep people like sally and steve connected. i'm sure they must

feel abandoned. i said steve connected. i'm sure they must feelabandoned. isaid in steve connected. i'm sure they must feel abandoned. i said in his eyes when we are scoping. it‘s just heartbreaking. but without being able to look, he‘s not really understanding. as got to be a way of managing the risk. ok, mum, iwill see tomorrow, i love you. this is the last time bill said good night to his mum before lockdown. they said we can‘t let you in unless it‘s end—of—life. a few weeks later, that happened. got that call. he and his sister sat with her for 48 happened. got that call. he and his sister sat with herfor 48 hours. she rallied to such an extent that she was considered no longer to be close to death and because of that, their visitation rights were once again stopped. a week later, she died. it was taken away, it was taken away. and it‘s cruel, it‘s just so cruel, there are no words

that can express it. as we approached and waved, she just literally broke down, she just kept saying it's been two long, and i'm too sad. we drove home that day and we said to ourselves, why are we all accepting the situation, why? they started a position to give carers the same access. it has 100,000 signatures. we have reached the end of absolute tolerance. canada has guaranteed that say visits would be allowed even during an override. they have taken the last thing in life he had left, which was loved. scotla nd life he had left, which was loved. scotland is due to make an announcement on this within days. she is not able to express herself

no more. i have lost the best of her. pressure is growing across the rest of the uk to do the same. clearly very upsetting stories. if you have been affected by what is going on, do get in touch. we will follow what is going on. we will come back to that story around 8:30 a.m., speaking to one family who have been in a similar situation of trying to see a loved one and unable to do that for a long time. carol is out and about today. she is in the childhood home of anne boleyn. morning, carol. good morning. this is hever castle in kentand good morning. this is hever castle in kent and right next to me as anne boleyn‘s orchard. you can see this tree absolutely laden with apples. a wide variety of apples and pears grow here, many of the english variety including the flower of kent, which is supposedly the type of apple which sparked newton‘s theory of gravity. most of the fruit

is used for decoration, but some of it used by the chef in the kitchen. hever castle itself, behind me, is crenellated, motored and allegedly haunted as well. —— moated. looking beautiful under some relatively clear skies. the forecast for this week remains unsettled stock we will have some sunny spells but it is also going to be showery. some of those showers will be heavy at times and also quite blustery. low pressure has been dominating our weather this weekend, hence all the rain, and we have low pressure dominating our weather certainly for much of this week. so this morning we have an area of rain which is a weather front wrapped around the area of low pressure across northern ireland, western scotland, wales, south—west england and the channel islands. and it curls around, bringing more rain into east anglia and northeast scotland. that rain in the west will migrate eastwards through the course of the day and there will be a lot of showers around today as well. blustery showers, particularly so in the south, where the winds will be quite

strong, especially the southwest and the channel islands. in between all of those showers, we will see some brightness and some sunshine. temperatures today ranging from about 11 or 12 temperatures today ranging from about 11 or12 in temperatures today ranging from about 11 or 12 in the north to 17 in the south. through the evening and overnight, our low pressure drifts a bit further north, dragging that weather front with it. bit further north, dragging that weatherfront with it. that bit further north, dragging that weather front with it. that will pull up through northern ireland, northern england and scotland. they will still be showers on either side of it, still blustery, especially so in the south. not a particularly cold night. you may welljust see some pockets like this morning of some pockets like this morning of some distance and fog. tomorrow we start off with some rain across western parts and northern parts of scotla nd western parts and northern parts of scotland —— mist and fog. elsewhere we are still looking at that mixture of sunshine and showers. some of them will blow through quite quickly across england and wales because it is going to be noticeably breezy, particularly so the further south that you do travel. there are temperatures tomorrow topping at around 16 degrees. as we head into wednesday, our low pressure

continues to move north. so the rain will spread across northern scotland. drier, though, for many other parts of the uk, with just one or two showers and also quite a bit of sunshine. temperature—wise, again we are looking up to 15 degrees, possibly 16 locally. but then a little bit of uncertainty creeps into the forecast for thursday. it looks like we‘re going to pull in another potent area of low pressure the atlantic. at the moment looks like it is going to bring in wet and windy conditions to southern areas and showers as we travel further north. i will keep you updated on that as we go through the course of this week and things become a little bit more tied on. we shall follow closely, a very nice bit of topiary behind you. it is lovely. nearly a million people could lose their jobs when the government furlough scheme ends in four weeks. that is according to labour, which says that areas with extra coronavirus restrictions are most at risk. they have accused borisjohnson of failing to get a grip

on the crisis. we can speak now to bridget phillipson, the shadow chief secretary to the treasury, who joins us from central london. good morning. nice to have you in the programme. i know that you are calling on rishi sunak to use his conference speech today to get a grip on this crisis. do you think the furlough scheme has protected anyjobs at all? what is your view of it? we supported the introduction of it? we supported the introduction of the furlough scheme, we called for it and we were glad that the government brought it forward. what we we re government brought it forward. what we were against was the announcement of the phased withdrawal back in july when it was far from clear that we we re july when it was far from clear that we were through this crisis. we then said the government should bring forward targeted wage support in order to protectjobs. they have brought forward a scheme but we think it risks not incentivising employers to keep people on in the way that they should. we are facing that looming jobs crisis. it is not too late for the government to act, for the chancellor to set out today how we will protectjobs,

particularly in those communities that are facing additional restrictions right now and are not eligible for some of that support the government has said they are putting in place. i notice that your party are talking about there being morejob losses in party are talking about there being more job losses in those areas with tighter restrictions, but you have supported as a party tighter restrictions the whole way along the route that the government have been taking. is that changing now? we think it is right that the government should be led by the public health advice and biomedical advice around what is the right approach. so yes, we have supported the government in bringing forward additional restrictions. what we do, however, now need to see as much credit clarity and transparency from the government around that. what is it that it would take for an area to move out of those restrictions? what is the decision—making around the levels at which an area moves into additional restrictions? and of course we saw just additional restrictions? and of course we sawjust overnight the very consenting news around issues around the data. i would like to know what impact that has had on government decision—making. the health secretary should really

account for himself and make a statement today in the commons explaining exactly what has gone on and whether that has had any impact on decision—making around local decisions. i noticed that shadow health secretary jonathan ashworth was talking about tory redwall of restrictions, is what he called it, imposing those. 0n restrictions, is what he called it, imposing those. on that issue of infection rates and higher areas being linked to those areas which have restrictions on them as well, is there a price you are willing to pay to have a higher infection to try and get greater freedom for those areas and also to protect jobs? protecting jobs and protecting the economy actually have to go together hand in hand. if we don‘t get our public health response right, it will be much harderfor the economy to recover. that is why it is so vital that the government gets a it is so vital that the government getsa grip it is so vital that the government gets a grip on its test, trace and isolate strategy. they treat the two responses as if they are separate, whereas in actual fact they have to be completely joined together whereas in actual fact they have to be completelyjoined together in orderfor them to work.

be completelyjoined together in order for them to work. so we have to get that test, trace and isolate system working effectively. it isn‘t currently an minister should get a grip on it. but we also need to see much firmer action from government in protecting jobs and supporting workers to retrain where they lose theirjobs. for some workers who have been out of work since april, the support the government has announced will not take effect until they have been out of work for almost a year. that is a very damaging thing for a community, for a family. we know how scarring long—term unemployment can be. we wa nt long—term unemployment can be. we want the government to prevent that, to keep people in work, to get people back into work, with the skills and training that they need. it has been too little, too late, consistently from the chancellor on this. butjust to come back to that question, do you think that higher infections are a price worth paying to protect jobs? we don't think the two are separate. we can absolutely get a two are separate. we can absolutely geta grip two are separate. we can absolutely get a grip on this virus with an effective test, trace and isolate strategy. what we don‘t want to see is that kind of political discussion around an area going in or out

because of that sometimes unhelpful political discussion around whether some areas should be in or out. we wa nted some areas should be in or out. we wanted to be transparent, based on the data and what is right for a community. but i think people are increasingly anxious and frustrated about the fact they have made great sacrifices to get to this point. they recognise that we need to get a grip on the virus, but they want to know that there is an end in sight and the government are not providing that reassurance that that end will be on site and that they are doing what is necessary to control the spread of the virus with the public health response. can i ask you about one of the subject this morning. i am sure you have seen one of the subject this morning. i am sure you have seen the pictures of former leader of the labor party jeremy corbyn attending a dinner party with a number of guests, well over the rule of six. he has apologised and said he made a mistake. do you think you should be fined for that? i think we all have a responsibility to follow the guidance, which differs in some parts of the country than others. he has apologised and that is a matter for the authorities. good to talk to you this morning and thank you very much for your time. good to speak to you on the programme.

time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i‘m tolu adeoye. public health officials will meet with city hall this week to discuss the possibility of further covid—19 restrictions london. it comes as the mayor of tower hamlets urged residents not to go to each others houses unless absolutely essential. figures released last week show london has one of the worst rates for the spread of the virus in the country. transport for london has said the cab company 0la can‘t operate in london after it found more than 1,000 passengers had been picked up by unlicensed drivers. tfl says the company is not fit and proper to hold a private hire licence. 0la has three weeks to appeal. a restaurant in ilford has been fined £1,000 for serving a burger four minutes after the 10:00pm curfew.

the met police say they spoke with staff at bim‘s on a number of occasions and fined the venue for community safety reasons. the restaurant has criticised the decison. they could have been a bit more lenient and they could have just gone in there and explained to the staff, look, you made a mistake here. you shouldn‘t have served them, you should have asked them to leave because it was going to take you past 10:00pm. and that verbal warning would have been absolutely fine and i‘m sure the staff would have taken that on board in future, they wouldn‘t serve somebody so close to the deadline. the royal opera house is planning to sell a david hockney portrait to try and raise money to protect its future. it is due to go up at christie‘s later this month and could go for as much as £18 million. let‘s take a look at the travel situation now. the tubes are looking good this morning. but the 0verground has minor delays from barking to gospel 0ak due to an earlier broken—down train. buses replace trains on c2c between pitsea and upminster via basildon, that‘s due

to over—running engineering works. turning to the roads and it‘s slow on the a13 coming into central london between dagenham and barking. finally, in muswell hill, coppetts road is closed due to a police incident. now the weather, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. a big improvement in today‘s weather. it‘s looking drier than it was at the weekend and it‘s also going to be feeling a bit warmer too. now, we‘re starting off with temperatures in high single figures. a few showers around at times this morning, but there‘ll also be some decent spells of sunshine around as well. quite a brisk westerly wind blowing. perhaps a longer spell of rain as we head towards the end of the day and temperatures will be up on where they were yesterday, peaking at 16 or 17 degrees celsius. so it won‘t be completely dry, but a much drier day all in all. again watch out for one or two showers overnight tonight. we‘ll end the night on ten or 11 degrees celsius. we‘ve still got that brisk westerly wind blowing and it will be even more blustery tomorrow. temperatures go down as we head

through the rest of the week so it will be feeling cooler. sunny spells and some showers around on tuesday. it‘s looking dry, with again some sunshine, but rather blustery north—westerly wind on wednesday and then perhaps some longer spells of rain again by thursday. 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. good morning — welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: president trump is criticised after taking a ride in a motercade to greet supporters outside the medical centre where he‘s being treated for coronavirus. in a video posted from hospital, he says he now understands the virus. i learned a lot about covid, i learned it by really going to school, this is the real school, this isn‘t the real ‘let‘s

read the book school‘, and i get it, i understand it. concerns over a delay to the track and trace system after nearly 16,000 coronavirus cases were missed out of the official figures last week. who‘s 007‘s latest victim?could it be cineworld? they‘re weighing up the closure of all of their uk screens after the bond release was delayed again. 5,500 jobs are at risk. the premier league is all at sixes and sevens. champions liverpool concede seven goals at aston villa and manchester united lose 6—1 at home to tottenham. and the 90—year—old skydiving great grandmajumping from 15,000 feet to raise money for charity.

good morning from hever castle castle in kent. a bit hungry to start with further showers, but i will have more details in ten minutes. —— a bit bunbury. ——a -- a bit of —— a bit of thunder. it‘s monday 5 october. our top story. a doctor at the hospital treating president trump for coronavirus says he put his secret service agents‘ lives at risk when he left the building to wave at well—wishers last night. the impromptu appearance which mr trump described on twitter as a "surprise for patriots"— came after it emerged that his condition is worse than was first suggested by white house officials. 0ur north america correspondent david willis has more. the us government‘s medical experts have advised coronavirus patients to stay in their room and only venture out if it‘s medically necessary. not this patient. accompanied by secret service agents in protective gear, president trump embarked on a slow drive around the walter reed medical center to wave to supporters who‘ve maintained a vigil there since he was admitted three days ago.

"great patriots", in his words, and whilst the president himself was wearing a face mask, few of them were doing the same. i love the job we‘re doing... he teased the trip on twitter after paying tribute to those who‘ve been treating him. so, it‘s been a very interesting journey. i learnt a lot about covid. i learnt it by really going to school. this is the real school. this isn‘t the ‘let‘s read the book‘ school. and i get it. and i understand it. but somet hink he hasn‘t learnt enough. an attending physician at walter reed, drjames phillips, described the drive—by as an active political theatre that could cost the secret agents involved in their lives — that "the irresponsibility is astounding." following several days of confusion and contradiction surrounding the president‘s condition, further details have emerged. despite saying his condition continues to improve, his medical team confirmed that his blood oxygen level dropped twice in recent days and that they gave him a steroid typically recommended

only for the very sick. pressed about how their information had conflicted with that from the white house, the president‘s personal physician acknowledged he painted a deliberately rose—tinted picture of his patient‘s condition. i was trying to reflect the upbeat attitude that the team, the president — that his course of illness has had. i didn‘t want to give any information that might steer the course of illness in another direction. and in doing so, you know, it came off that we were trying to hide something, which wasn‘t necessarily true. what is true is that the president is being aggressively treated with a cocktail of drugs, as well as an experimental antibody therapy, and a course of remdesivir, which curbs the virus‘ ability to multiply. these include dexamethasone, a steroid tested in the uk, it works by calming the immune system but is rarely used on patients who are experiencing only mild symptoms of covid—19. on patients who are experiencing only mild symptoms of covid—19. and despite being on a 5—day course of remdesivir, the president‘s doctors say he could be leaving

hospital later today. with the president grounded, his democratic rival remains on the virtual campaign trail. five days after spending 90 minutes on a debate stage with president trump, joe biden has tested negative for the coronavirus. senior democrats say they hope the president‘s diagnosis will change his attitude towards the coronavirus, but that remains to be seen. davis willis, bbc news, los angeles. a technical glitch means nearly 16,000 cases of coronavirus went unreported in england — leading to delays in tracing people who had been in close contact with the carriers. public health england say the cases were not entered into the national computer system until the weekend — causing a dramatic spike in the numbers. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is in westminster. chris — this will surely raise more questions over the government‘s ability to test and trace. 15,841 15, 841 tests 15,841 tests were not put into the

computer system. these are tests that took place in the last week of september. people were requesting tests when they were coming down with symptoms, those tests were happening and it‘s worth pointing out the people asking for the test we re out the people asking for the test were getting the results but the results of those test, when no positive, there were two big consequences of that. how many cases there have been, how many positive cases in a 24— hour period, frankly, that number was much lower than the reality but the bigger consequence was, all of the contacts of those people who tested positive were not traced. there‘s been something of a scramble as we understand it to begin this process much, much later in the day. the evidence suggests the best way to do the tracing is straightaway before people start drifting off around the place and potentially spreading the virus unknowingly and unwittingly, since

testing positive, so a significant problem here. we have seen a memo spreading, acknowledging this computer glitch. labour saves a shambles, we know the government has been frustrated by failings in the test and trace system. labour hope the health secretary matt hancock will be hauled to the commons to explain things. he‘s got some questions to answer. and we also talk about restrictions. some newspapers mentioning this traffic light system. what can you tell us? we‘ve seen documents that have circulated privately talking about exactly this idea. that discussion has been going on privately for a couple of weeks. no public announcement yes but what seems to be in the offing is some sort of traffic light system within england to describe where you live and the restrictions that you are living under. why do they want to do that? it would seem there is a recognition

that clarity, simplicity, is rather useful, given at the moment we have this popery of different rules and regulations in different parts of england and they can change at a moments notice. instead, red, amber and green or something like that significant going —— signifying the least significant restrictions in the hope we can all get our heads around them. bars and cafes in paris will be closed for at least 15 days from tomorrow as the french authorities try to combat a rise in covid—19 cases. restaurants will be allowed to stay open by introducing further safety measures, while universities in the capital have been told to halve the number of students. the city of marseille closed bars and restaurants last week. rescue teams in france and italy are continuing to search for survivors from the flash floods caused by storm alex.at least four people have died and up to 20 are still missing — including a group of eight people who were seen being swept away.

paul hawkins reports. this was the picturesque town of breil—sur—roya in the french alps. but four months of rain in just one day meant devastating landslides have cut off the town. rescue efforts are concentrated here with roughly 1,000 firefighters backed by helicopters and the army, the french government declaring the wider region a national disaster zone. two hours‘ drive from here is the village of saint—martin—vesubie, population 1,400 — or at least, it was. it is also now cut off by the aftermath of storm alex, so many are leaving. many are being evacuated by helicopter here to the city of nice, 55km south, where aid is being packed and sent out of villages across the region. meanwhile, a 40—minute drive from here along the coast of italy, the city of ventimiglia is also cleaning up. with shops and restaurants destroyed by the water, many are asking the government

to declare a state of emergency. with both france and italy‘s economies hit badly by the pandemic already, this is the last thing they needed. paul hawkins, bbc news. carol is at hever castle in kent with a look at this morning‘s weather. it absolutely is lovely. just earlier, dunn was referring to the topiary hedge, look at this one right next to me. this is a u hedge and it is just off the tudor garden. as lewis our cameraman swings around to this tudor village. this was designed in the early 1900s by william waldorf faster and it was designed to house his family and

friends, rather lovely. —— astor. now it‘s used commercially. a nippy start to the day but very tranquil, fog across south—west scotland in the morning and south—west england but the forecast for this week is blustery, also one of sunshine and showers. some of the showers merging to give longer spells of rain at times. what we have today is a weather front draped across western scotland, northern ireland, it kills around bringing rain across parts of east anglia. that weather front through the day is going to drift eastwards. as we go through the day. for most of us, the forecast is one of sunshine and also showers, some heavy and sundry with hail and blustery winds across south—west england and the channel islands. temperatures today from 12— 17 degrees. through this evening and

overnight. dragging that rain across northern ireland into northern england and parts of scotland. on either side of it, still the potential to be heavy. not particularly cold anywhere. tomorrow we start with that rain across the north of the country. still blustery winds, the further south you do travel and temperatures up to 16 degrees and then, dan and lou, it remains unsettled, though for some of us on wednesday, it will be that little bit drier. carol, thank you so little bit drier. carol, thank you so much. breaking news to bring you. cineworld, the uk‘s largest cinema chain, says it is considering closing all its uk venues. nina has got the latest on this one for us. what more do we know, nina?

good morning, that‘s right. they are also closed temporarily and really soon from this thursday, they‘ve also confirmed they are going to close 536 of their cinemas in the united states. back on friday, it was announced the james bond release no time to die would be delayed till april, they pointed direct to that with the breadth of strong commercial films necessary for us to consider coming back, will have to close. they said because the landscape of the theatrical world because of the pandemic is limited at the moment. and on top of the delay, a lot of it is about whether we feel confident going to the cinema with measures in place. we chatted with some film fans. i think it was about november last year. oh, gosh, it was quite awhile ago. i'm not a massive cinema—going person, unfortunately. last year — december.

yeah, it‘s been a long time. we mostly watch netflix and stuff now. it doesn't seem somewhere that you'd go in a pandemic. and you've got to wear your masks. it's not the same experience, where you have your popcorn, chitchat — oh, you see that bit? it's not the same. last saturday, it was amazing. people should go to the cinema! she is summing up a huge affection that so many of us have for the cinema. let‘s speak to former cineworld director and boss of the light cinemas chain, keith pullinger, plus the film criticjason solomons. first, keith, iwould imagine your heart is going out this morning to former colleagues at cineworld. yes, it isa former colleagues at cineworld. yes, it is a very difficult time and cinemas now have some very hard decisions to make about trading on what to do over the coming months. how much do you think this was about the james bond delay? how important are those big lock busters when it comes to cinemas making enough

money? they are really important and i think this is a global problem, really, with a lot of the american cinemas closed at the moment. i think that is why the studios are pulling back from the really big releases. it is a difficult time and we have got to ride through this, but i think now we expect a number of other films either to move or to go into next year. i think ourjob is just to try and navigate through this, knowing that there are going to be fewer customers coming through our doors but still to give a really good service. it is difficult, though, isn‘t it? jason, to bring you in, with the guidance on reopening timing, studios in the united states are relaying their release and delaying that pipeline. but tenet was released. it was an experiment to get tenet out,

christopher nolan insisted that the cinemas open, in a way, for it. it wasn‘t a disaster, that film, at all. most of the people who have gone to the cinema this year, that was the film they have been deceived. they didn‘t love it, i think that was one of the problems. it was a bit of a head scratcher. but it was a warm up for bond. i thought he would defuse the bomb as he normally does and save the world and save cinema —— bond. i still think he could have done it, he could have had a good long run through all of christmas and being the only show in town. sadly that is not going to happen and what really cinemas need is a british product. the cinemas which have been successful around the world, in china, korea, they are thriving on local products. people want to go and see films that reflect their own culture, and bond was perfect for british screens. we don‘t have a british screens. we don‘t have a british blockbuster coming up that is going to get every bit off the sofa. that is the problem, as you heard in your report there. people don‘t want to wear their masks, they wa nt to don‘t want to wear their masks, they want to watch things on their sofa

and they want to be adequately provided for by the screening platforms. this is a real problem for cinemas now. what are they going to show people to get them back into that very safe experience? i am supposed to be at a picture house myself on thursday. i don‘t know what is going to happen there, i had better check my viewing, looking. when you look at films like mulan going straight to screening, is there any way back from that?” think there is. cinema has withstood television and vhs and dvd and now streaming, but things are different. we are in a different world at the moment. netflix is dominating, producing films and cutting out the middleman. it does not need to share its profits with cinema holders. so that temp old model of the big lock busters and the big franchises, which you put those temples in, that‘s why they call it that, you have taken those temples down, those big releases, and the whole edifice

is crumbling. i don‘t know how we have got to there, where we can‘t have got to there, where we can‘t have these middle releases, these arthouse releases, propping up the gold releases. we have gotten top—heavy. we need to look at the bottom, if you like. what do you do without your tent pole releases? keith, what are you doing to get people through the doors?” keith, what are you doing to get people through the doors? i think the important thing firstly for cinemas is to make sure they stay releva nt to cinemas is to make sure they stay relevant to people. that is about giving great facilities, really good seats, sound and visual and great service. in my business, that is the thing we lead with, to make sure that it thing we lead with, to make sure thatitis thing we lead with, to make sure that it is a great experience. but also, cinemas need to expand the range of films that they show and the products that they show. talking about netflix there, i went to see the trial of the chicago seven, which was an amazing film that comes out ina which was an amazing film that comes out in a few weeks. you need to

expand the products you show. we have david attenborough showing this week. there is a great number of things that you can show in cinemas. a lot of this is about being more imaginative and broadening horizons for cinemas and not relying just on studio films. the main studios are a lwa ys studio films. the main studios are always going to be the most important part for cinema, as you know. there are some wonderful releases coming up. a number that have been delayed this year are going to come through the system next year. so once we get through this pandemic, which i am sure by spring we will be seeing much more favourable times, there is a great pattern of releases coming through. i believe that cinemas still have a great future. i think people are ready to go out. we are seeing a number of families and other audiences coming through our cinemas already, but we do need the content to back it up. and finally, it is doable, isn‘t it? i went to the cinema a few weeks ago with my son.

we both wore masks and had them on between eating popcorn. it is very doable. why should people keep going over this period? it is very doable, it is very safe, i feel, as well. it is not very crowded. i have been in cinemas with 800 people at the venice film festival. it is doable and everyone is safe, but they do need an excuse to get out there and spend their money, something to see. we have to expand it, as you were saying before, keith. it is about packing it with other product that isn'tjust that packing it with other product that isn't just that lacklustre product. but people need to be convinced, their habits need to change to go to their habits need to change to go to the cinema for that extra experience. i have to say it is safe. i think it is one of the safer environments around, actually. what you can't do is get your pick and mix. i wouldn't go to the picken mix right now. but packaged suites are fine. look, it is a really dangerous time for cinema. i am sort of mourning it in advance. i hope that all of the great products available in the spring, that there are still

enough screens around to show it. at the moment is looking very precarious. jason solomons, many thanks. keith, best of luck for your new venture. too late for the 5500 jobs at cineworld. they have temporarily been closed, those roles, and it means we don‘t know what is going to come up over the next six months. the big release, james bond, holding out until april. it means that people who only go to the cinema once or twice a year won‘t be going, and that is where most cinemas make their money, on the big releases. they are not happening. what do you get your granny for her 90th birthday? a bunch of flowers? a good book? a new set of knitting needles? well, not if your granny is pat baker. she wanted to mark the occasion with something a little more extreme, like jumping out of a plane at 15,000 feet. so she did, as dave guest reports. great grandma patricia baker is facing one of the toughest challenges of her life. no, getting

into that suit isn‘t the challenge, though it is pretty challenging. patricia is about to jump out of a plan to celebrate her 90th birthday and raise money for charity.” plan to celebrate her 90th birthday and raise money for charity. i said, do you really want to do it? she went, yes. so i said come on, let‘s get it sorted then. i have been on a hot—air balloon and i have done paragliding abroad, quite a few years ago. big arch, ok? once we are stable, then keep your hands on the harness. it is time for a final briefing from her instructor, chris, of the black nights parachute centre near lancaster. you have not changed your mind then? no, definitely not. i really don‘t know what is going through my mind at the moment. very nervous for her, but she is really looking forward to it. shall we keep going? yes. i think so. she is now in the air. the plan will go up to 15,000 feet and then patricia will

jump 15,000 feet and then patricia will jump out. there is no turning back, although i have got the impression she is not the kind of lady who turns back when she said she is going to do something. she does it. what was it like? awesome. just to experience it, it isjust awesome. so what is your next challenge going to be? nothing - not doing this again. and you know, she mightjust do it. we will be speaking to patjust after 9:00am this morning. also still to come on today‘s breakfast: you wait ages for a former girl band star to appear on the show, then two come along at once. mollie king of the saturdays fame will bejoining us in around 20

minutes to talk about living with dyslexia and why she wants more help for children with the condition. and melanie c will be spicing up the programmejust before 9:00am. she will be telling us about her new album and addressing those rumours of a full spice girls reunion, including victoria. that will be fun. mollie talking about dyslexia, and what she thinks can be done to help people. she highlights the words, doesn‘t she? she sometimes puts it in bold to make itjump out of the page, which works for her. let us know if something works for you or someone in yourfamily. we something works for you or someone in your family. we will have a discussion about that later on. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london, i‘m tolu adeoye. public health officials, will meet with city hall this week to discuss the possibility of further covid—19 restrictions in london. it comes as the mayor of tower hamlets urged residents not to go to each other‘s houses unless absolutely essential. figures released last week show london has one of the worst rates for the spread of the virus in the country. transport for london has said the cab company 0la can no longer operate in london after it found more than 1,000 passengers had been picked up by unlicensed drivers. tfl says the company is not fit and proper to hold a private hire licence. 0la has three weeks to appeal. a restaurant in ilford has been fined a £1,000 for serving a burger four minutes after the 10:00pm curfew. the met police say they spoke with staff at bim‘s on a number of occasions and fined the venue for community safety reasons. the restaurant has criticised the decison.

they could have been a bit more lenient and they could have just gone in there and explained to the staff, look, you made a mistake here. you shouldn‘t have served them. you should have asked them to leave because it was going to take you past 10:00pm. and that verbal warning would have been absolutely fine and i‘m sure that the staff would have taken that on board and in future they wouldn‘t serve somebody so close to the deadline. the royal opera house is planning to sell a david hockney portrait to try and raise money to protect its future. it is due to go up at christie‘s later this month and could go for as much as £18 million. let‘s take a look at the travel situation now. the tubes are looking good this morning. but the 0verground has minor delays from barking to gospel 0ak due to an earlier broken—down train. buses replace trains on c2c between pitsea and upminster via basildon, that‘s due to over—running engineering works. turning to the roads, vauxhall bridge remains closed

for roadworks. this is the queue on nine elms lane towards the bridge. finally in muswell hill, coppetts road is closed due to a police incident. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. a big improvement in today‘s weather. it‘s looking drier than it was at the weekend and it‘s also going to be feeling a bit warmer too. now, we‘re starting off with temperatures in high single figures. a few showers around at times this morning, but there‘ll also be some decent spells of sunshine around as well. quite a brisk westerly wind blowing. perhaps a longer spell of rain as we head towards the end of the day and temperatures will be up on where they were yesterday, peaking at 16 or 17 degrees celsius. so it won‘t be completely dry, but a much drier day all in all. again watch out for one or two showers overnight tonight. we‘ll end the night on ten or 11 degrees celsius. we‘ve still got that brisk westerly wind blowing and it will be even more blustery tomorrow. temperatures go down as we head through the rest of the week so it will be feeling cooler. sunny spells and some showers around on tuesday. it‘s looking dry, with again some sunshine, but rather blustery north—westerly wind on wednesday

and then perhaps some longer spells of rain again by thursday. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it‘s back to dan and louise. bye for now. last hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. in the last half hour we‘ve heard that 5,500 jobs at the cinema chain cineworld are at risk as the firm says the industry is now unviable because of coronavirus. it comes as the government announces plans to support people who have lost theirjobs during the pandemic. they‘ll include help with writing cvs and interview coaching. we‘re joined now by work and pensions secretary therese coffey. we talk about test and trace? we

know a technical glitch is meant 16,000 cases of coronavirus went unreported. this was meant to be a world beating test and trace system. it is important to stress the people who did the tests get the results, and it‘s been identified in divide, so we can and it‘s been identified in divide, so we can get the contacts potentially into the system and being contacted as appropriate as decided by the test and trace regime. what it does mean is last week the numbers were inaccurate in government policy is based on those numbers. it's fair to say, louise, it reinforces why the government has taken action recently with the national measures, recognising we do believe infection rates are rising across the country but i‘m conscious we need to make sure that we try and get the test and trace regime contacting as many people as possible to encourage them.

ultimately the people have definitely been contacted. hopefully that will be reassuring for them, if nobody else. let's talk about the other people. all those who tested positive were informed. what it means, and this is important, the others in close contact with them we re others in close contact with them were not. they could have been out and about spreading the virus and they would have no idea.” and about spreading the virus and they would have no idea. i recognise that we can‘t change the recent history. we will now make sure this sort of error doesn‘t happen again but they did pick up this error and then acted quickly to try and rectified. can you put a number on how many people it might have been? this would have been spreading.” don‘t have that information. it‘s news i was reefed on as of the people, trying to understand exactly what was going on. i am assured they found the error, putting that

through the computer system in the testing and tracing and contacting as appropriate will be happening straightaway. just on public confidence. you acknowledge there has been a problem. confidence in the system is crucial. the measures people can take every day, hands, face, space, is still the most important way of tackling this virus. people do come into contact more closely and that is what the regime is there to do. 0r more closely and that is what the regime is there to do. or to alert people of potential problems. i think it‘s important to stress this has been picked up quickly, dealt with quickly and i‘m certain might might be irritating but the messages there, we know cases are the up. the measures are important to help ring down the infection rates spreading. that‘s where everybody can play their part. in order to stop it

spreading, we spoke to a gp on this programme saying the first 48 hours is critical and that opportunity has been missed with these people. the number of people who haven‘t been through the process of deciding whether they need to be contacted to isolate or not, i recognise what you are saying but the error has been picked up, and i don‘t think there is anything you can change about history, only making sure these sorts of errors don‘t happen in future. can we address public confidence. how do people trust that the system is working? the fact that the system is working? the fact that the people went into the test, they will have known straightaway. yes, there is the element of what you‘ve just referred to but it is about making sure that we keep foremost in our minds how we try and avoid potentially contracting the virus,

by making sure hands, face, space is something we practice in the morning and night,. you say you've only been briefed on this recently. when will you have the numbers for the people who missed out on being contacted?” don‘t know the answer to that, i‘m assuming public health england will be able to share more information during the course of the day. that will be for them to disclose. the most important thing is getting the fa ct most important thing is getting the fact that they are sorting out the issue that they identified quickly and accelerating the process is obviously going to be, i‘m sure, one of the key priorities to make sure the regime is followed and they can process them according to whether or not other people need to be self—isolating. not other people need to be self-isolating. have they all been contacted at this point? i know that the people who have been issued results were contacted, i don‘t know

the answer. the prime minister has described this, yes, as a critical time? this happens at what he describes as a critical time. as we enter into the winter season, it‘s a combination of a number of respiratory virus blooms. flu, most generally combining with others is where we do actually need to increase our awareness of making sure we wash our hands, use face coverings where they are needed, but also maintaining distance from other people. it‘s criticalfor also maintaining distance from other people. it‘s critical for all of us to keep reminding ourselves that this infection has not gone away, the number of infections is rising. i expect the measures we have taken on, as well as the localised measures, are necessary to try and turn that around, particularly as we enter the winter season. can we talk about localised measures. the city of manchester has been under local restrictions since july. of manchester has been under local restrictions sincejuly. the rate of

infection when it went into those restrictions was 20.5 per 100,000, it‘s now 205 per 100,000 people. where is the evidence these restrictions are working? it's a lwa ys restrictions are working? it's always been said, from a medical officer and therefore by government ministers that once we get an r rate over one, the exponential rise would be there with a number of infections so be there with a number of infections so it‘s a reinforcement of some of the national measures but i think there will be ongoing work in local areas where some of the measures don‘t seem to be as effective as they can be. looking even closer, what is and can be done, to try and make that restriction of the transmission of virus successful. are you talking about top local restrictions? we've seen some more enforcements happening, where people are not obeying the measures, and i

think, from a centralised process, it‘s about working locally as well, where the enforcement is happening. because this is one of the most important things, as we enter into the winter season, to make sure we can take unavoidable —— avoidance approach that we can turn around the infection rate so it can start to come down, recognising the pressures that other illnesses will in on the future. where are they being affected ? future. where are they being affected? seeing as the r is the one, we need to bring the transmission down, to reduce that way of the virus spreading exponentially stop i think that we will need to keep monitoring, obviously as a government, but locally, exactly where the measures are being followed and if necessary, taking new approaches to try and restrict that transmission. is of those new approaches to traffic light system which might simplify local restrictions? there are a number of different measures around

the country and as you‘ve been saying, there are different ways we can try and tackle this issue. 0verall, regardless of how we move forward in this, trying to keep the rules as straightforward as possible or whether that is businesses, when thatis or whether that is businesses, when that is families, is an ongoing way of how we are trying to tackle compliance with these measures in order to ultimately get the number of infections down and the transmission rate below a ratio of one. i know you are talking today about this, a jobs entry targeted support. what is that, how would it work and what difference is it going to make? this is the latest phase of the plan for jobs. to make? this is the latest phase of the plan forjobs. last month we talked about young people with a kickstart scheme, and those placements will start to be filled next month. but this is really about supporting particularly people of all ages but perhaps more adults beyond the age of 25 who have been out of work now for three or four months. and sometimes the people

have not had to look good job in many years. it‘s thinking about the skills they have had an hourjob, the more tailored support provided to them to help boost to their cv, help them with interviews and instead of just relying help them with interviews and instead ofjust relying on our work coaches who are covering a wide range of topics, the likes of people like reid and the sure trust, drawing out of people, we think it‘s an effective way of getting people back into work. would it help those 5500 cineworld employees, theirjobs at risk, breaking news on the last 40 minutes or so, how would it help them because we are with the jobs come from? one of the things we want to do asa come from? one of the things we want to do as a country and economy, having had the success largely of the furlough scheme, peak keeping people attached to their employers, is to try and work through with the confidence of creating newjobs. a

lot of that will come in the growth sectors we expect, the amount of investment going into construction into infrastructure more broadly, but also the health and care set. a variety of set is for growth and some of this will be about helping people who may not have made the career of choice, they will want to continue in the current role, but to think about in the short—term, even if not the long—term, the skills that they have, can actually be used ina that they have, can actually be used in a different part of the economy to help them get back into work. one of the key things is to make sure people are not away from work for a long amount of time. that in itself will cause its own issues to the individual but also for the economy more broadly. we know it'sjust a few weeks away from when the furlough scheme ends. as your department modelled what may happen to unemployment? there have been a number of different scenarios we work on to try and consider what may happen. so far we‘ve seen the unemployment rate rise to 4.1%. that

isa unemployment rate rise to 4.1%. that is a rise and it‘s still hundreds and thousands of people no longer have that a packet coming in on the way they and their families are used to that‘s why we are intensifying this level of support in order to try and help people get back into work. in terms of preparing for the future, as i say, we have a number of different scenarios. we stood up to the challenge earlier in the year. this is a different phase we are going through and i‘m confident that the department is well—placed to help people who turn to the welfare system. what do those models tell you about unemployment? we use a variety published forecasts by the bank of england in the office for budget responsibility but we are co nsta ntly budget responsibility but we are constantly modelling what is happening in the real world in terms of when firms are making potential redundancy, notice is public about what that means, but overall, it‘s

fairto what that means, but overall, it‘s fair to say people are still working. the return from work is a good rate. and i‘m conscious that we need to be ready in case there are worse consequences which we hope for. therese coffee, work and pensions secretary, thank you for your time. pensions secretary, thank you for yourtime. —— pensions secretary, thank you for your time. —— therese coffey. if you watching the sport yesterday, you would be thinking, how on earth is sally going to get stuff in? you have a bonkers video from the world go—karting championship later? we‘re going to start with what was one of the most remarkable days in league history. it was one of the most remarkable days in premier league history. champions liverpool were hammered 7—2 at aston villa. villa‘s record signing 0llie watkins hadn‘t scored in the premier league before kick—off, but by half—time he had a hat—trick! it is the first time liverpool have

conceded seven goals since 1963. game is easy to analyse if you want, because the mistakes were obvious. he made too many mistakes, and massive mistakes obviously. who wants to lose 7—2? years ago, we told ourselves we wanted to create history. that was history tonight, but it was the wrong one. if that result wasn‘t enough how about manchester united 1, tottenham hotspur 6! son heung—min and harry kane both scored twice asjose mourinho returned to old trafford to haunt his old club, and put the man who replaced him under even more pressure. it is the worst day of my career as a man united manager. it is probably the worst day for probably all of those players as well, as a man united player, but it is not the worst day in the man united club‘s history, and we have bounced back before. to explain now, it is quite difficult. of course you — we have been beaten, 6—1 at home against a very good side, i have to say,

but we have contributed a lot to our own downfall. west ham ended leicester‘s 100% record with a surprise away win — jarrod bowen made it 3—0 late in the second half. it‘s the hammers‘ second league win without manager david moyes, who‘s self—isolating with coronavirus. rangers are still one point ahead of celtic at the top of the scottish premiership, after both enjoyed 2—0 wins. rangers at home to ross county and celtic at stjohnston, thanks to two late goals. one from leigh griffiths, on his first appearance of the season, as he returns to match fitness. arsenal went back to the top of the women‘s super league, thanks to a 3—1victory over bristol city . they went behind early on but vivianne miedema sealed the comeback — arsenal are on maximum points, ahead of everton on goal difference. bristol earned a place in rugby union‘s premiership play—offs, after their bonus point

win over london irish and bath‘s failure to beat saracens. bath threw away a 14 point lead, only managing to draw 17—17 in sarries final premiership game before relegation. that now gives sale a chance to grab the final play—off spot in their covid—delayed match against worcester this week. english golfer mel reid said she had redeemed herself after winning her first title on the american tour. she took the shoprite classic in newjersey by two shots with a final round of 67. last month, reid squandered a good chance of victory on the last day of an event in portland. she said winning this one was a huge relief. rafael nadal is looking good for a 13th french open title. he is into the quarter—finals after beating sebastian korda. nadal has won this tournament for the past three years and he dropped just four games in beating korda. he next faces the italian teenagerjannik sinner. there were shocking scenes

at the karting world championship final at the lonato circuit in italy. luca corberi was in a collision with paolo ippolito, and his reaction was astonishing. what is he doing? what is he playing at? what on earth is he doing? he picked up his bumper and waited to throw it at ippolito, before storming off across the track. both drivers were disqualified. another video emerged appearing to show corberi and his father, who runs the circuit, physically attacking ippolito. former f1 world champion jenson button said father and son should both be banned from the sport for life. that is incredible. i have seen that footage of the fight afterwards. he is 23 and a little kid is 16. he just charges at him and starts

throwing punches. and it is a shame, isn‘t it, because he could have a potential career. but as jenson button is saying, how do you come back from that? he could have killed someone, back from that? he could have killed someone, throwing it like that. there was an altogether better atmosphere on the day that 45,000 amateur runners were due to take part in the london marathon. with only professionals competing in london, runners in 109 countries around the world completed the 26.2 miles wherever they could. conditions weren‘t the best in the uk but that didn‘t dampen the spirits. 0rganisers said their efforts would help raise tens of millions of pounds for charity. speaking of raising money for charity, how did you do?” speaking of raising money for charity, how did you do? i went very slowly. but i did complete the london marathon, not in london. and you were not on a proper track, either. i did something called the sandstone trail, which is absolutely stunning. who is that with you? we

do know him. he went with me. he went all the way, bless him.” imagine he was very, very bossy. the last five kilometres he was saying we‘re going to run the rest of it. you could hear him behind me. probably just what you needed. because you did the charity challenge in namibia. so last time we we re challenge in namibia. so last time we were running together it was 48 degrees. well done to everyone who did it. it was an incredible thing to do. it was lovely. and you are a little worse for wear this morning. a little bit tender today.” little worse for wear this morning. a little bit tender today. i am sure iam not a little bit tender today. i am sure i am not alone, everybody. well done. carol is out and about today. she is at the castle in kent where anne boleyn grew up. morning, carol. hopefully your morning weight and as badly as hers dead. i hope not, good grief! you might actually recognise

this lake behind me, because here at hever castle they do the hever castle triathlon and i believe you may have done part of it yourself. but it is a chilly start of the day and talking of the lake, it covers 38 acres. now, it was designed by william weld of astor way back in the early 1900s and it took 400 men over two years to dig out —— william waldorf astor. it is very tranquil. the forecast for this week is not tranquil. it is going to be rather u nsettled, tranquil. it is going to be rather unsettled, in fact. we are looking at showers or longer spells of rain. in between there will be some sunshine but it will also be blustery, especially so in the south. low pressure is nominating our weather and it is the low pressure that brought us all the heavy rain and some flooding issues as we went through the weekend. that low pressure will be with us for much of this week, drifting northwards. this morning, though, we

have got a weather front wrapped around it, bringing rain across northern ireland. it will get into western scotland, wales, south—west england and the channel islands. ahead of that, we‘re looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers and there are some fog patches to watch out for as well. through the day, that weather front will drift further eastwards, taking more rain in across for example the midlands. it is going to be quite windy in the south today, particularly south—west england and the channel islands, with temperatures ranging from 12 in the north to 17 in the south. through this evening and overnight, our low pressure drift a little bit further north, dragging the weather front with it. it will take the rain across northern england into northern ireland, again, and also southern scotland. still showers on either side of it and still blustery winds in southern areas. but it is not going to be a cold night. we could see some mist and fog patches forming. as we head on through tuesday, tomorrow, what you will find is as that low pressure drift further north, it continues to drag that whether front eventually in across northern and western scotland. for the rest of us, once

again it is going to be a mixture of sunshine and showers. some of those showers merging to give longer spells of rain with hail and some do, and still pretty gusty winds in the south of england. temperatures up the south of england. temperatures up to about 15 or 16. then for wednesday, the low pressure makes it up wednesday, the low pressure makes it up to the very far north. we will see more rain sweep across northern and western scotland, but for much of the rest of the uk, barring the odd shower, will be dry and there will be some sunshine around. winds would be quite a strong either. the temperatures up to about 16. then it changes. now, on thursday there is still a little bit of uncertainty about the forecast is a deep area of low pressure comes in from the atlantic. it is currently across the seaboard, the eastern seaboard of america. but it looks like it could well bring some rain in windy conditions in across southern parts of england. but we will of course keep you posted on that. as we see a little bit more certainty around the forecast in the coming days.

thank you very much indeed, carol. i can see you have the gloves on, it is cold out there. you kept your head very well there carol, well done. historical gag. you take care out there, carol. i think she enjoyed that one. mollie king found fame as one fifth of the saturdays and more recently as a presenter on bbc radio 1. but throughout her career, she has had to work around the dyslexia which was diagnosed when she was just ten years old. now mollie is calling for more support for children with dyslexia who may have been particularly disadvantaged by the lockdown. we can speak to mollie now. hello there. very good morning to you, lovely to see you. thank you for having me on. tell us a little bit about when. .. for having me on. tell us a little bit about when... i suppose both you, your parents and your teachers realise there was something going on. yes, so i was about ten years old and i always rememberfinding reading really difficult. i still do

now. and i think my teacher... i think i was about in year 4 or year 5, she noticed that i kept making little excuses to be able to nip out of the classroom when we were going around and reading a story. i used to get such fear the night before, knowing that i would have to read in front of the class. so she noticed that i was finding it really scary and that i was finding it really difficult. so she said to my mum, look, i think molly is struggling with her reading here. my mum had noticed as well, so i went to have an assessment when i was about ten and they confirmed that i was dyslexic. so i feel very lucky that i was able to have the assessment and that there was a reason for why i was finding it so difficult. i remember looking around the classroom and thinking why is nobody else finding this really hard and really scary? so it was a huge relief to have a reason as to why i was finding it so hard. and anybody who is watching this, mollie, who struggles in the same way or someone

in theirfamily struggles in the same way or someone in their family does will know that different things work for different people. what have you done over the yea rs people. what have you done over the years that has helped you to sort of deal with your dyslexia? so i have a few different techniques. so for me, often highlighting words really helps. it stops the words kind of moving around the page. i also do things like double spacing between words is brilliant as well. it stops me kind of reading words in the wrong order. and just different techniques, like if i am reading a book or something i mightjust go down with a ruler so that i am not seeing all the words on the page and thinking oh my gosh, there are so many words here. so for me it has just been about finding those techniques that really work for me. and what about networks, for example, when you are having to read scripts or text messages, whatever it is? yes, i work at radio one now, which i absolutely love. when i first started i had no idea they would be so much reading, but of course you get people texting into the show. so ijust basically got

into a system now of making sure that i always read the text while the songs are playing, just so that iam not the songs are playing, just so that i am not completely caught off guard when i go live. i host the show with matt edmonson and he is brilliant at just divvying up the text and making sure that i have always had enough time to read things. so it isjust about doing that extra preparation, i think, and just making sure that you are not completely caught off guard with millions of words in front of you —— matt edmondson. guard with millions of words in front of you -- matt edmondson. and being somebody who as you were, were diagnosed really young and that has helped you in school and in later life as well, but there are so many children out there who do not get that early diagnosis and really struggled throughout their school life. yes, it is frightening, actually. 80% of children who are dyslexic do not know that they are. that is just... it is so hard to believe, but basically the assessment is so expensive, they are between about £500 and £700. so for anyone to have to go and do that

is... you know, it is such a big ask. what we are really trying to work towards now is to have the specialist dyslexia teacher assessors in schools, so that they can spot children and think there is a chance that you might be dyslexic, let‘s have an assessment. it is terrifying that children and older adults are going through life not realising... the sunshine has suddenly come through the window and it appears to have affected the line here. i am going to ask you another question. we will see if it works. i know that you are on the old parliamentary group dyslexia, that you went to that. 58% of parents report their children trying to avoid discussing dyslexia. 82% of pa rents avoid discussing dyslexia. 82% of parents report their children trying to hide it. so young people and pa rents to hide it. so young people and parents watching you right now, what would you say to them about that?”

would you say to them about that?” would say to be proud of it and to know that with dyslexia comes lots of challenges, obviously, but there are so many of challenges, obviously, but there are so many things to be proud of as well. some of the most creative and artistic people are dyslexic. so don‘t be embarrassed, don‘t be shy about it. just, you know, embrace it and understand that there is a reason why you are finding some things more difficult. but there is nothing to be embarrassed about. there are so many of us out there who are dyslexic. i think it is one in ten of us. so there are lots of us out there, and to just unite. and there are... parents will know this, won‘t they? there are lots of things out there that can help, there are apps that can help, there is stuff online. lots of resources that can help you with linking words and trying to make sure that it is not as debilitating as it can be. exactly, so there are lots of things. there are things like breeding pens, things like using a la ptop breeding pens, things like using a laptop in exams, they are really

helpful. —— reading pens. we need some government funding to make sure thatis some government funding to make sure that is more accessible for everybody. things like extra time in exams are really important and help me hugely. but yes, there are things out there and once somebody knows that they are dyslexic, then they can go about sorting this out. but at the moment the assessments are just not assessable. —— accessible. did it affect you when you are in the saturdays? it did, actually, in ways that you wouldn‘t necessarily think of. when we were learning songs, i would always make sure that i learnt it completely off by heart rather than relying on reading the lyrics, because if i was in the studio, i wouldn‘t be able to read the lyrics fast enough to record them. so i would make sure that i a lwa ys them. so i would make sure that i always knew them and could glance at the lyrics just to make sure i wasn‘t going way off track. but i would always make sure that i pretty much knew it before going into recorder song. mollie, it is really good to talk to you. for anyone who has just tuned in, good to talk to you. for anyone who hasjust tuned in, we good to talk to you. for anyone who

has just tuned in, we should say that you are not invoking, just trying to keep the sunshine from your eyes. —— not vogueing. it is lovely to speak to you this morning. thank you so much for being really honest about some of your struggles over the years, as well. that is mollie king protecting herself from the sun. just in response to this story, a spokesperson for the department of education told us: "throughout the pandemic we have worked with schools and councils to help support children with special educational needs and disabilities." stay with us, headlines coming up.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: president trump is criticised after taking a ride in a motorcade to greet supporters outside the medical centre where he‘s being treated for coronavirus. in a video posted from hospital, he says he now understands the virus. i learned a lot about the covid. i learned it by really going to school. this is the real school. this isn‘t the let‘s read the book school. and i get it and i understand it. concerns over a delay to the track and trace system, after nearly 16,000 coronavirus cases were missed out of the official figures last week. the curtain comes down on 5,500 jobs as cineworld confirms it will temporarily close. as the release of the latest james bond is delayed again, the chain says it‘s not getting the big names to pull in film fans. the premier league is all at sixes and sevens — champions liverpool concede seven goals at aston villa, and manchester united

are hit for six by tottenham. and the 90—year—old skydiving great—grandma jumping from 15,000 feet to raise money for charity. good morning from hever castle in kent, we are right next to the italian garden. you can smell the fragrance from the roses. the forecast for today is a mixture of sunshine and showers across the board, longer spells of rain and blustery in the south. details in ten minutes. it‘s monday, the 5th of october. our top story... a doctor at the hospital treating president trump for coronavirus says he put his secret service agents‘ lives at risk, when he left the building to greet well—wishers last night. the impromptu appearance, which mr trump described on twitter as a "surprise for patriots", came after it emerged that his condition is worse than was first suggested

by white house officials. 0ur north america correspondent david willis has more. the us government‘s medical experts have advised coronavirus patients to stay in their room and only venture out if it‘s medically necessary. not this patient. accompanied by secret service agents in protective gear, president trump embarked on a slow drive around the walter reed medical center to wave to supporters who‘ve maintained a vigil there since he was admitted three days ago. "great patriots", in his words, and whilst the president himself was wearing a face mask, few of them were doing the same. i love the job we‘re doing... he teased the trip on twitter after paying tribute to those who‘ve been treating him. so, it‘s been a very interesting journey. i learnt a lot about covid. i learnt it by really going to school. this is the real school. this isn‘t the ‘let‘s read the book‘ school. and i get it. and i understand it. but some think he

hasn‘t learnt enough. an attending physician at walter reed, drjames phillips, described the drive—by as an act of political theatre that could cost the secret agents involved their lives, that "the irresponsibility is astounding". following several days of confusion and contradiction surrounding the president‘s condition, further details have emerged. despite saying his condition continues to improve, his medical team confirmed that his blood oxygen level dropped twice in recent days, and that they gave him a steroid typically recommended only for the very sick. pressed about how their information had conflicted with that from the white house, the president‘s personal physician acknowledged he painted a deliberately rose—tinted picture of his patient‘s condition. i was trying to reflect the upbeat attitude that the team, the president — that his course of illness has had. i didn‘t want to give any information that might steer

the course of illness in another direction. and in doing so, you know, it came off that we were trying to hide something, which wasn‘t necessarily true. what is true is that the president is being aggressively treated with a cocktail of drugs. these include dexamethasone, a steroid tested in the uk, it works by calming the immune system but is rarely used on patients who are experiencing only mild symptoms of covid—19. and despite being on a five—day course of remdesivir, the president‘s doctors say he could be leaving hospital later today. with the president grounded, his democratic rival remains on the virtual campaign trail. five days after spending 90 minutes on a debate stage with president trump, joe biden has tested negative for the coronavirus. senior democrats say they hope the president‘s diagnosis will change his attitude towards the coronavirus, but that remains to be seen. davis willis, bbc news, los angeles.

a technical glitch means nearly 16,000 cases of coronavirus went unreported in england — leading to delays in tracing people who had been in close contact with the carriers. public health england say the cases were not entered into the national computer system until the weekend, causing a dramatic spike in the numbers. we‘re joined now by the bbc health editor, hugh pym. you can talk to us about the consequences of this. good morning. good morning, louise. the consequences are that if you tested positive you were informed in the normal way. so this delay in getting cases into the system doesn‘t affect those people. but it does affect the whole effort to trace their contacts. what basically happened is, for some reason it‘s not quite clear, we are told it is an it error, the details of these positive test results were not put into the test results were not put into the test and trace system in england and therefore, there were no approaches made to try to find out their

contacts. given that this was a week leading up to friday, then you have got a going back to the end of the previous week, where there was no contact tracing. ideally, experts say, you should try to get to contacts within 48 hours. that being said, most of these nearly 16,000 unreported cases were towards the end of last week and public health england say the contact tracing effort is now getting under way. but it does raise yet more questions about the whole testing system. if the numbers reported last week were underreported and these contact tracing efforts have been hampered. thank you. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is in westminster. chris, just to put that point to you, there are questions, aren‘t there, and important ones about the test and trace system, the ability for it to work properly? yes. 15,841

tests that did not end up on the system in england. as we have been reporting, those people who have been requesting those tests did get the results as expected, so there was no pledge from their own personal perspective. but crucially, what then did not happen, was the tracing of the contacts of those people that the person who had tested positive had been in contact with. in other words, the tracing system failed as a result of this computer glitch. an acknowledgement from a cabinet minister and brea kfast from a cabinet minister and breakfast in the past hour that that has consequences. for the number of people who have not been through the process and deciding whether they need to be contact to isolate or not, recognise what you are saying, but the error has picked up and is being dealt with. i don't think there is anything we can change about history, we can only change how we make sure the sort of errors do not happen again in the future.

i was struck in a conversation between therese coffey and louise have an hour ago that this cabinet minister did not know how many people needed to be traced as a result of this data glitch, or whether they had yet been traced. now to be fair to therese coffey, she is the work and pensions secretary, she is not a health minister, but it gives you some sense of how much on the whole the government has been caught by this, that they are having to respond pretty quickly. senior cabinet ministers sent out to defend the situation they acknowledge is far from perfect struggle to have the information to hand. chris, thank you for tidying that up. while we have been talking, we have been contacted by public health england who say that nhs test and trace have made sure there are more than enough contact tracers working, and are working with local health protection teams to ensure they also have sufficient resources to be urgently able to contact all the

cases. they are also increasing the number of call attempts from ten to 15/96 hours. very much an ongoing story. cineworld, the uk‘s largest cinema chain, is closing all of its screens here and in the us, a decision that impacts 45,000 jobs. nina‘s back with us. good morning. lots of speculation around this but a massive blow to haveit around this but a massive blow to have it confirmed. 45,000 jobs, 5500 of them in the uk, 126 cineworld and picturehouse theatres will close across the uk from this thursday. it is partly due to the delight of big releases. 0n is partly due to the delight of big releases. on friday we learned the 45th james bond instalment, no time to die, won‘t be released until april, that was its second delay. this morning cineworld has said without new releases we cannot provide customers with the breath of

strong commercial films necessary for them to consider coming back, with the backdrop of covid. that means going to the cinema wearing a mask, in groups of no more than six and maintaining social distancing. and specifically the delight of the bond film is a huge blow, say experts. i thought bond would be the saviour, i have to say. last minute he would defuse the bomb as he normally does. and save the world and save cinema. i still think he could have done it, to be honest. he could have had a good long run, he could have been here over christmas, been the only show in town, but sadly that is not going to happen. what british cinemas need is a british product. the cinemas we have seen successful around the world, in china, korea, they thrive on local product. bond was perfect for that, for british screens. it wasn‘t to be. the government has allocated £650,000 to 42 independent cinemas, from its cultural recovery

fund. more will be allocated later. the uk cinema association say sales are only at about 30% of what they we re are only at about 30% of what they were this time last year and that isn‘t sustainable for many theatres long term. a very long winter ahead. really worrying for people who work there and also incredibly frustrating for people who want to go and see that film, bond particularly. and also lots of films being streamed into people‘s comms. it is whether or not we can break that habit again when theatres reopen. thank you. carol is at hever castle in kent, with a look at this morning‘s weather. good morning. it is a chilly start to the day if you haven‘t ventured out yet. make sure you wrap up warmly. we are now in the grounds of hever castle. this is the italian garden. look behind me and you can see the urn with the box hedging underneath it, that is meant to

represent the shape of a daffodil. this was designed back in the early 19005 this was designed back in the early 1900s by william astor. there are various statues around. it leads us in towards the pillars. what if is. if you look through the pillars you can see the legs. there was a wedding here at the weekend. doesn‘t it look lovely? the weather this weekend was pretty poor. there is a lot of fraud —— make a lot of flood warnings in force across parts of scotla nd warnings in force across parts of scotland and england. you can find out details of where they are, if they are close to you and how they may affect you, and the bbc weather website. the forecast for this week remains unsettled. we are looking at some sunshine and showers. some of them will be heavy and thundery. it is also going to be pretty blustery, particularly across southern areas. the showers in the south will move through quite rapidly. we have got low pressure dominating our weather

once again. that low pressure will migrate northward this week and in doing so it is going to take with it the rain. this morning we have got rain across northern ireland, wales coming to the south—west, getting into western scotland and pushing east through the day. for many it is a day of sunshine and showers. blustery winds in the south with temperatures 12 to 17 degrees. this evening and overnight that low pressure drags the weather front northwards, taking it again through northern ireland, northern england and southern scotland. still some showers and still blustery across southern england. not a cold night. tomorrow the low pressure drags that area of rain further north. again we area of rain further north. again we are seeing it across southern and northern and western scotland, for the rest of us it is a mixture of sunshine and showers. 16 degrees. something drierfor sunshine and showers. 16 degrees. something drier for many on wednesday but there will be rain across the north of scotland. i‘m off for my body because it has just

started to rain. see you later. thank you. she‘s off! as we‘ve been hearing, president trump has been making every effort to show that he has not been laid low by coronavirus — even if that means taking an impromptu drive outside the hospital to greet his fans. some of his medical team have said mr trump might leave hospital today — just three days since he was admitted with coronavirus — although other doctors have suggested that seems unlikely. let‘s have a quick reminder of how events unfolded. it has happened quite quickly and is changing all the time. in the early hours of friday morning — washington time — mr trump announced on twitter that he and his wife melania had both tested positive for covid—19. on friday evening, he was transferred to walter reed medical center in bethesda, maryland — that‘s around seven miles north of washington. there‘s been some confusion about exactly how ill the president is. on saturday morning, the white house physician — dr sean conley — told a press conference that mr trump‘s condition was improving.

minutes later, the president‘s chief of staff — mark meadows — said he wasn‘t on a clear path to recovery. on saturday evening, the president posted a video on twitter saying he felt "much better" and promising to be back on the campaign trail soon. yesterday, he was treated with dexamethasone — that‘s a steroid given to patients with severe covid—19. but his doctors also said he could potentially be discharged from hospital as early as today. and last night the president briefly left the hospital to greet supporters, waving to them from the back of a car. as we mentioned, that‘s something he‘s been criticised for by a number of medics. amy pope was a public health and security adviser to president barack 0bama. shejoins us now from south london. really good to speak to. fascinating

to find out how all of this works. the role of the president ‘s physician, what is that role, what should he be doing? the role is to make sure the president is safe and healthy. that doctor will travel with the president whenever he travels. they have medical equipment, a medicalfacility available within the white house, they have one that is available on air force one, should he become ill while travelling. and that person knows the president extremely well. knows what medicine he is taking, or prescribed medication, so this person is the one who knows the health of the president better than anyone. i suppose at a time like this, less than a month away from the election, things are so carefully spun, aren‘t they? there isa pr carefully spun, aren‘t they? there is a pr element to everything but should they be doing that with the help of the president of america? this is really unusual. we are seeing the president ‘s physician

play a more politicised rover which is highly unusual. in the circumstances. usually we would expect president ‘s physician to play it straight, if he is going on camera, giving very factual, objective information but already it is emerging he is spinning the facts to make the president look healthier than he actually has been. and the suggestion is that he‘s doing so because that is that the president ‘s direction. because that is that the president 's direction. we mentioned you worked under barack 0bama and during that, there was the ebola virus outbreak, but how do you think it worked then compared to how it‘s working now, compared to how the trump administration has responded to covid—19? trump administration has responded to covid-19? it is hard to compare it because it is so different. when the ebola virus outbreak happened, much more contained outbreak, even then, under a much, much more contained outbreak, even then, undera much, much more contained outbreak, we were very focused on making sure the president sent a consistent message to all

americans and to make sure he provided support and guidance to mayors, governors, public health officials, who were on the front line to responding to the disease. and even to the point of making sure when he was meeting with nurses treating ebola virus patients, we we re very treating ebola virus patients, we were very conscious treating ebola virus patients, we were very conscious of what message that would send to the american people. and in this case we are seeing a president who is contradicting the advice given by the head of the cdc, by doctor anthony fauci who is leading the response, the head of the health services, his direction on masks, for example, suggesting you don‘t really need to wear a mask. that really need to wear a mask. that really is unusual. and extraordinarily difficult that mark —— different from where we would have been. take us inside the white house, if you can, before the election in america. what is it like in there at the moment, in the build—up to this huge, significant, political and cultural event, while the president is not there at the

moment, unable to work? first of all, it‘s helpful to think about what the actual west wing is like, the physical structure. i think what most people don‘t know, it‘s actually quite small, it is an old building, there are a narrow hallways, very small offices. with the exception of the oval office, of course. and you are going to have staff congregating there who are very, very stressed, lots of pressure. both from the campaign but also in terms of managing the response to the disease. so you have to expect that the chances that people will become infected are actually quite high, once somebody becomes infected. but on top of that they are going to be scrambling, how do we respond at this moment in time? we are a month away from the election. we have a situation where president trump controls his own campaign message and he can‘t get out there. he doesn‘t really rely on surrogates the way other presidents may have done so it‘s created this

extraordinarily unusual situation where really, the health and safety of the white house staffers is at risk as well. and from a presidential point of view you have a man who is in his 70s, who by his own admission is overweight, is in that area of concern for anybody who has coronavirus. and yet, there are some claims that he might be able to return to the white house today, which some medics are saying is virtually impossible? he wants to project a sense of strength. we have heard him basically, before, being ill is a sign of weakness. we have seen ill is a sign of weakness. we have seen him make fun of disabled people. we have heard him suggest that if you get injured in combat, it is your fault. this is a that if you get injured in combat, it is yourfault. this is a man that if you get injured in combat, it is your fault. this is a man with whom illness does not sit well and so whom illness does not sit well and so he wants to do whatever he can to project a sense of health. but in reality, what we know about covid—19 is that you cannot necessarily keep that up. he can put himself into

more danger, ultimately. he can destabilise the country more by moving too fast and taking measures which are clearly not in line with the medical advice. thank you for talking to us. we are going to get a little bit more on that right now. the new york times journalist mark landler worked as a white house correspondent during the presidencies of both donald trump and barack 0bama. he joins us from london. good morning to you, good to speak to you. 0vernight, the president went on a drive by, and a great big car to wave at his supporters. take us through the psychology of doing that. you know, as amyjust said, this is a president who views everything in some sense is a reality show and a marketing opportunity and i think the message is that i‘m rebounding quickly, projecting strength. this has been a good learning experience for me. and

you know, what better way to showcase that land to get into a car and drive pasture supporters who are all waving trump flags outside the hospital? so, you know, definitely trump, a classic trump example of marketing but also, one that raises, as you‘ve said, all kinds of questions about infection and putting people at risk unnecessarily. hermetically sealed vehicle, like what the president was riding in, isjustabout vehicle, like what the president was riding in, is just about the vehicle, like what the president was riding in, isjust about the best place to incubate a disease that one could imagine. so he clearly took some major risks and put other people at risk to get that message across but i‘m sure he feels like it succeeded and we are talking about it. so to that extent, did succeed. i was going to say at what stage does marketing backfire?” i was going to say at what stage does marketing backfire? i think it will be interesting to see. the way the president ‘s tactics have played during the selection is that the 42,

40 3% of americans who like him and support him, basically back everything he does and they will no doubt view what he did last night as an example of their guy projecting strength. and a lot of americans will be justifiably horrified by it and wonder why his doctors allowed it to happen and why he would exercise that sort ofjudgment, violating what is such an obvious standard of safety during a pandemic. i'm sure you've watched very closely the different messages coming from his medical team, from the white house advisers. what do you make of what appears to be some sort of confusion? it's a total hash. part of the problem is the white house doctor who is the principal spokesman, sean conley, acknowledged in his briefing yesterday, in his first briefing, which was the extremely problematic one, that he had actually avoided saying certain things because he wa nted saying certain things because he wanted to project quote an upbeat message. and part of the reason he

wa nted message. and part of the reason he wanted to project that is because the most important audience for that briefing was not the american people, it was the man in the hospital room upstairs, watching it, president trump. what we suddenly realised is that the goal here is not to provide timely and important information, it‘s to set and narrative that keeps the patient u psta i rs narrative that keeps the patient upstairs satisfied. and i think that‘s what accounts for much of the confusion and there was so much confusion and there was so much confusion on the first day. at the chief of staff, mark meadows, felt obliged to call reporters over and brief them on background with a contradictory message, one that suggested there was far more to worry about on the medical front than what the doctor had just said to the tv cameras. could i briefly talk to you about the rose garden event which they are now saying may have been some sort of super spreader event. there were journalists there as well, one third? how much scrutiny, continued scrutiny do you think there‘s going to be on what happened there?‘

great deal of scrutiny, remember it wasn‘t just the outdoor great deal of scrutiny, remember it wasn‘tjust the outdoor event, pictures of everyone sitting in close quarters are very dramatic that inside there was a reception that inside there was a reception that has been photographed that shows nobody wearing masks, in a very enclosed space. and so the opportunities were spread our both, in the rose garden and inside, afterwards, yes, there were collea g u es afterwards, yes, there were colleagues of mine that recovering that event and frankly, a colleague of mine, travelled with the president last week. and has been diagnosed with coronavirus. and has been public about what‘s happened. so yes, he‘s clearly put not only his staff address, not only republican fundraisers and donors, but also members of the press and the white house staff, people who serve him every day. so his behaviour well and should come under a lot of scrutiny in the coming days. really good to talk to you, thank you. i expect we will talk again. thank you.

it has been a weekend of some crazy sport events. sally is here, casting her eyes over everything and some tennis as well! talking about these two, my goodness. waking up this morning, that penny, you know, the moment before you realise what happened yesterday? and then remembering. the premier league has thrown up some remarkable results since it resumed, but what we saw at villa park and old trafford yesterday was extraordinary. champions liverpool were hammered 7—2 by aston villa, whose record signing 0llie watkins hadn‘t scored in the premier league before kick—off. but by half—time he had a hat—trick! and jack grealish scored twice. liverpool managerjurgen klopp said they made "massive mistakes" and that wasn‘t the kind of history they wanted to be making. it‘s the first time thye‘ve conceded seven goals since 1963. and the astonishing result at old trafford was manchester united 1, tottenham hotspur 6! harry kane and son heung—min both scored twice asjose mourinho

returned to haunt his old club. the man who replaced him, 0le gunnar solskjaer, said it was the worst day of his managerial career at united. in fact, he said it was the worst day of any day he had spent at manchester united as a player or in fa ct manchester united as a player or in fact as their manager. worth mentioning... the transfer window closes tonight at 11pm. lots of manchester united fans hoping for a late flurry of activity for their club in the next 13 hours. 0r or maybe not as many as they would like! sally, thank you. still plenty more to come between now and 9:15am. melanie c is going to be here shortly. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i‘m tolu adeoye.

public health officials will meet with city hall this week to discuss the possibility of further covid 19 restrictions in london. it comes as the mayor of tower hamlets urged residents not to go to each others houses unless absolutely essential. figures released last week show london has one of the worst rates for the spread of the virus in the country. transport for london has said the cab company 0la can no longer operate in london, after it found more than 1000 passengers had been picked up by unlicensed drivers. tfl says the company is not ‘fit and proper‘ to hold a private hire licence. 0la has three weeks to appeal. a restaurant in ilford has been fined a £1000 for serving a burgerfour minutes after the 10pm curfew. the met police say they spoke with staff at bim‘s on a number of occasions — and fined the venue for community safety reasons. the restaurant has criticised the decison. they should have been a bit more lenient and they could have gone in there and explain to the start, you

made a mistake, you should not have served, because it was going to take you past ten o‘clock. and that warning would have been absolutely fine and i‘m sure the staff would have taken that on board. and in future they would not serve somebody so future they would not serve somebody so close to the deadline. the royal opera house is planning to sell a david hockney portrait to try and raise money to protect its future. it‘s due to go up at christie‘s later this month and could go for as much as £18 million. let‘s take a look at the travel situation now... 0n the tubes, the victoria line is part suspended between walthamstow central and king‘s cross due to a customer incident. severe delays on the rest of the line. 0n the trains, there are delays and some cancellations on southeastern between london bridge and deptford due to electrical supply problems. turning to the roads, and there‘s queuing on the m25 clockwise in essex betweenjunction 29 and the qe2 bridge after the bridge closed earlier. finally, in muswell hill — coppetts road is closed due to a police incident

now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. a big improvement in today‘s weather. it‘s looking drier than it was at the weekend and it‘s also going to be feeling a bit warmer too. now, we‘re starting off with temperatures in high single figures. a few showers around at times this morning, but there‘ll also be some decent spells of sunshine around as well. quite a brisk westerly wind blowing. perhaps a longer spell of rain as we head towards the end of the day and temperatures will be up on where they were yesterday, peaking at 16 or 17 degrees celsius. so it won‘t be completely dry, but a much drier day all in all. again watch out for one or two showers overnight tonight. we‘ll end the night on ten or 11 degrees celsius. we‘ve still got that brisk westerly wind blowing and it will be even more blustery tomorrow. temperatures go down as we head through the rest of the week so it will be feeling cooler. sunny spells and some showers around on tuesday. it‘s looking dry, with again some sunshine, but rather blustery north—westerly wind on wednesday and then perhaps some longer spells of rain again by thursday.

i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. now though it‘s back to dan and louise. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. it has just it hasjust gone it has just gone 8:30am. one of the cruellest effects of coronavirus has been its impact on the residents of care homes. an estimated 18,000 of them died, according to amnesty international, and those who survived were cut off from their loved ones for weeks or even months. with positive cases on the rise, many care homes are once again bringing down the shutters, but this time a growing number of relatives are demanding the right to visit. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin has been to meet some of them. life is not worth living, really. she just cries and she isjust saying, "take me home."

what do you tell your mum in those moments? um... you‘ve been broken by this, haven‘t you? yes, yeah. well, sometimes, i'll... ..i will say to her that i'm going to bring her home. with new restrictions across the uk, hundreds of thousands of people are once again separated, isolated and heartbroken. her care home locked down at the beginning of march. seven months later, they are still locked down. in six months, nicola has seen her mother only twice on a garden visit. now, even they are again banned.

she said to me the other day, "i would rather die than be locked up." my mum‘s brother died in april. she says to me, "how is louis?" he was her best friend. he died six months ago. i can‘t tell her that. there‘s nobody there to comfort her. and how long is this going to go on for? but, with a quarter of all covid deaths in care homes, officials say this is necessary to protect people like maggie. i don't really want protection, thank you very much. she has survived covid but now faces isolation. maggie has ms, and in window visits with her daughter, she has been able to articulate what many feel. what do you feel about these window visits? they are inhuman. and last week, emma broke the news that even these visits have to stop. ijust feel like crying. covid is going in the back door,

and the front door is being shut to families. how long is that going to go on with my mum? i don‘t know how long — maybe a few months, a few weeks, ten years. but the average life expectancy in a nursing home is two years. it‘s a difficult line for care homes to walk. this home has had no covid deaths and no visitors, because it‘s in an area that has had constant restrictions. we didn‘t lose anybody. but are you concerned that in protecting people so fully, so brilliantly, from covid, that there is another risk moving forward, that they might lose hope? there is a risk, and it‘s scary, because we‘ve done everything we can to replace the affection given by the family, but not family. until we are certain that nobody has got it, it‘s too risky. have you got a photo or picture frame or anything? after six months facing down the threat of covid... jayne, this is a picture of mum.

this is teresa. ..care home residents are now fighting a new battle to maintain hope. is this 0k? a threat as deadly as the virus itself. perfect. this is when you are still able to go out walking. he was still steve then. visits are now banned across much of the uk. in england, the government says its priority is infection control, and it‘s invested in technology for care homes to keep people like sally and steve connected. i‘m sure he must feel abandoned. but technology, she says, can‘t replace touch. i see it in his eyes when we are skyping. it‘s just heartbreaking. steve is in there somewhere, but, without being able to look, hold his hand, he‘s not really understanding.

there‘s got to be a middle grouns, a way of managing the risk. 0k, mum. i will see tomorrow, i love you. this is the last time phil said goodnight to his mum before lockdown. they said we can't let you in unless it's end—of—life. well, a few weeks later, that happened. i got that call. he and his sister sat with alywn for 48 hours. she rallied to such an extent that she was considered no longer to be close to death. and because of that, their visitation rights were once again stopped. a week later, she died. it was taken away, it was taken away. and it's cruel, it'sjust so cruel. there's no words that can express it other than that. as we approached and waved, she just literally broke down. she just kept saying, "it‘s been too long, and i‘m too sad." we drove home that day and we said to ourselves,

why are we all accepting this situation, why?" it‘s enough. we must do something. jeny and diane started a petition to give key relatives the same access to tests as careers. today it has over 130,000 signatures. we kept thinking, "it's going to get better soon, it's going to get better soon," and suddenly people have reached the end of absolute tolerance. canada has guaranteed that safe visits would be allowed, even during a care home outbreak. they have taken the last thing in life he had left, which was love. scotland is due to make an announcement on this within days. she's not able to express herself no more. i've lost the best of her. pressure is growing across the rest of the uk to do the same. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. it really is heartbreaking, that. thank you to all of those who took pa rt thank you to all of those who took part in that report. brendan black and his wife

joan celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary the day before lockdown started. sadly, that was the last time brendan was able to properly seejoan, who has dementia and lives in a care home, until this weekend. brendan joins us from norfolk with his daughter lindsey and granddaughter lucy. good morning. thank you so much for joining us. morning. i know it's been a difficult time for you, brandon. it‘s been really difficult, hasn‘t it? brandon. it‘s been really difficult, hasn't it? it has been. this weekend was the first time you saw her for how long? well, it's over six months now. what was it like? well, it was just the worst months of my life and it‘s still going on. the worst months of my life. and that included my army time, national service. it‘s been terrible. brendan, we know that you and john have been married for

over 60 years, give us an idea of how it has been? you spent so much time together and now you haven‘t been able to spend that time. how have you been coping and how has she been coping? well, i don't know how joan has been coping but i don‘t think she has been coping very well. when she first went in i used to visit her every day and i spent three hours with her. doing puzzles and stuff, reading to her. passing the time away with her at the weekend. she went in at christmas. injanuary and weekend. she went in at christmas. in january and february, weekend. she went in at christmas. injanuary and february, when the weather got a bit lighter, i could ta ke weather got a bit lighter, i could take out in my carfor a ride. i used to take her back on. i seven miles away. i would give her a meal and then take her back. it was fine. but of the day after my anniversary i spent a lovely afternoon with her

on my anniversary, the 23rd of march, the day after when i visited the next morning, they said, oh, brendan, we‘ve got this virus going around, we are going to have to set around, we are going to have to set a room aside and what will happen is you will come in, you will go into this room and we will bring junk to you. so i said, well, that‘s not too bad, that‘s fine really, as long as iam seeing bad, that‘s fine really, as long as i am seeing her. but when i came the next day the notices were up at the door was locked and they said, you can‘t come in. that is to this day. i have not touched joan, even to this day. i just i have not touched joan, even to this day. ijust miss her terribly. terrible. our, brendan, we can all see how much pain that brings to you. and also presumably as well the rest of your family. lindsey, you. and also presumably as well the rest of yourfamily. lindsey, it must be tough on you all watching your mum and dad going through this? yes, yeah. people don't realise the effect it has on the extended family

seeing my dad so upset every day and slipping slowly into depression. we did get to the point where we rank the gp and bgp got a visit. —— the gp got dad a visit. he could sit in the same room as my mum with protective equipment on. we just feel as if we will end up losing that if they are not together. i have spent so much time together all these years it isjust really cool. —— cruel. these years it isjust really cool. -- cruel. as the months went by, i felt thatjohn was forgetting me. i said to the khybers, my wife is forgetting me, look. after about three minutes she would get up, she was so three minutes she would get up, she was so frustrated when i was at the window, she kept telling them to let me in. and because they didn‘t, i was even saying, john, i can‘t come m, was even saying, john, i can‘t come in, darling, she would turn away

with her walking frame and go into the inner room and leave me standing there. so towards the end i did say to the carers, my wife is forgetting me, now she‘s not, she always says, where is my brendan? but i know different. myjohn used to run two that window. i'm sorry. brendan, it‘s that window. i'm sorry. brendan, it's ok. i'm that window. i'm sorry. brendan, it‘s ok. i‘m so glad that you have got lindsay and lucy there to look after you. take a moment to get yourself together. lucy, i can see how hard this is for your grandad and obviously for his wife as well. they would love to be together. we have been speaking to people this morning you are in the same situation. there is nothing that can be done at the moment? no, it is heartbreaking. speaking to the carers, they go home, they go to the shops, they look after their families, and then they go back to work and they put on an apron and a

mask and they're with our loved ones. why can't my grandad, as the nominated visitor for our family, do the same? he is isolating himself. we provide him his shopping. why can't he be tested and he be allowed to go in and hold his wife's hand, doa to go in and hold his wife's hand, do a puzzle with her? that is what we do a puzzle with her? that is what we can't seem to understand. that's what i‘d like to see. when i was asked what i would like to see happen in the care home, that‘s what i‘d like to see. they are testing themselves in the care home now. they are testing the staff every week, they are telling me. the residents are week, they are telling me. the residents a re tested week, they are telling me. the residents are tested every month. i said, why can‘t you test me? i am here, why can‘t i drive to you and have a test, get the result and after two to three days, if i am 0k,

why can‘t i come in as usual and sit next to joan as usual and why can‘t i come in as usual and sit next tojoan as usual and try why can‘t i come in as usual and sit next to joan as usual and try to make her day is better? you now? at the moment i don‘t know what she‘s doing. she even got there was a time, after about a month, they said to me, she has taken her clothes out of the wardrobe, we have had to lock the wardrobe. she keeps folding them up. isaid,john the wardrobe. she keeps folding them up. i said, john was always tidy like that. i said, that is the frustration. she doesn‘t know what to do. that is what i would like to see. i would like to see people like me drive to the, especially the visitors that are regular, drive to do their testing, we could drive there, i‘m sure that they would and ta ke there, i‘m sure that they would and take the same test in our car, they could test us in the car like i was

tested at the hospital some weeks ago, and! tested at the hospital some weeks ago, and i can‘t see the difference. if we are cleared, we could be included in that sort of bubble. the ca re included in that sort of bubble. the care home bubble. that is what i would like to see. well, you are all making incredibly good points and we absolutely can‘t see the heartbreak this is causing to your family. you are very this is causing to your family. you are very much not alone. we will try to get the answers to these questions as well. thank you so much. brendan, thank you very much indeed, lindsey and lucy as well. thank you for making a passionate case. lots of people getting in touch, saying they are going through something similar. 0ur saying they are going through something similar. our family, saying they are going through something similar. 0urfamily, our pa rents something similar. 0urfamily, our parents experiencing something similar. we can now speak to nadra ahmed from the national care association. she‘s in kent. you may not be able to answer these

questions. but brendan has been speaking about how he can‘t visit his wife in the care home, why can‘t he be tested like the staff and be allowed in? good morning. i have managed to watch it and it is absolutely heartbreaking and i think every provider in the country will feel exactly the same as to why they cannot enable this. it is all down to the testing, really. there are two micro—components of this, one is consistent testing, the ability to get the results quite quickly which we know has been a huge issue and the other is the indemnity insurance providers can now not get which is against covid so when you‘ve got vulnerable people in a service, and you have other vulnerable people coming in, of an older age, you have other vulnerable people coming in, ofan olderage, our insurance needs to be able to cover them and we have no cover because government is not helping the sector

to get this insurance, the insurance industry has closed down on us. so we are between a rock and a hard place so whilst we could enable these visits and with all the things that have been said, i think it‘s ha rd to that have been said, i think it‘s hard to disagree. we like visits, this is a tripartite arrangement, when you come into our care setting the relatives are part of the solution of making sure that a person ‘s needs solution of making sure that a person‘s needs are solution of making sure that a person ‘s needs are met, notjust their physical but their mental health needs, their well—being, the social interaction, it helps us to understand people and where they come from and we always welcome, the ca re come from and we always welcome, the care sector has always had this open door policy. and we have facilitated events and made this, as much effort as we cancel this virus has impacted us in creating a closed environment which we don‘t want to do. we want relatives to be able to visit. we wa nt to relatives to be able to visit. we want to facilitate all of that but when you‘ve got a testing regime

that, this morning, you‘ve heard about it, we can test our staff wea kly, about it, we can test our staff weakly, but the results might come infour weakly, but the results might come in four days later so we are already struggling with that. and the staff are being really want by every provider, about what their movements are. residents being tested every 28 days, that‘s a real challenge because a lot can happen in 28 days stop we know a symptomatic transmission is an issue. we also have asians —— issues about people being discharged from hospital safely. with negative tests. but those people would have to be isolated in a facility because we can‘t always trust those tests. isolated in a facility because we can't always trust those tests.” appreciate your answer on that but cani appreciate your answer on that but can i pick up on one point about the indemnity insurance. you say the industry has closed down on you, you cannot get insurance and briefly, the point of that is what, someone

who gets coronavirus and the care home becomes liable, is that the problem? absolutely. people can be soothing, way down the road, that is the problem. we‘ve got insurance policies in place but covid is excluded. and the government needs to step in. thank you very much and we will keep following up on this. thank you for your time. and thank you for all your messages and comments after watching brendan talk about his wife, married for 60 yea rs, about his wife, married for 60 years, hasn‘t been able to touch since march. it is really heartbreaking. carol is at hever castle in kent with a look at this morning‘s weather. really beautiful views this morning! absolutely! good morning. this fountain was built on the idea of the trevi fountain in rome, you can see as we come down the steps the autumnal colours, the reds and

oranges, and one thing the council is dry to encourage us to do is the japanese method of forest bathing. that means get yourself out into nature, absorb the fresh air, trees, the scenery, put your technology down and enjoy it. if you are planning to come to hever castle don‘t forget you must pre—book and you must adhere to all the covid—19 regulations that you would do anywhere else. the lake, very tranquil this morning, man—made, anywhere else. the lake, very tranquilthis morning, man—made, it took 400 men over two years to date. we‘ve had some showers this morning in kent, the forecast for this week remains unsettled. sunshine at times, showers, some of the shower is emerging to give longer spells of rain and it‘s going to be quite blustery across the south. this morning we have rain across northern ireland, extending through western scotland, wales, into the south—west and the channel islands. through the

course of the day it will move eastwards, taking rain with it but essentially the forecast today is one of bright spells, sunshine, showers, some showers in the west heavy and thundery with hail, blustery conditions across southern areas, especially south—west england and the channel islands, temperatures 12—17 . through this evening and overnight the weather front trips north taking the rain through northern ireland, northern england, southern scotland. showers on either side of it, still blustery winds in the south but not particularly cold, there will be patchy mist and fog around. tomorrow the weather front continues its journey out of northern ireland, northern england, further south again we are looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers. blustery winds in the south, particularly again south—west england and the channel islands. wednesday promises something a little drier for most, except for the far north of

scotland. what a treat it‘s been here this morning! absolutely gorgeous! it looks really nice, carol. i have swum in there, i have done a triathlon just behind you! just lovely. that is so impressive, louise! carroll, thank you so much. it‘s nearly 25 years since melanie c first back—flipped into our lives on the video to the spice girls‘ debut single, wannabe. since then she‘s enjoyed huge success as both a spice girl and a solo artist. before we speak to melanie, let‘s take a look at a couple of tracks from her latest album, which she released last week. # i go in and out of love. # never get enough. # i keep going. # in and out of love. # trying to get higher. # higher. # in and out of love. # never get enough. # so i keep going in and out of love. # chasing desire. # higher. # you just blame it on me.

wa nt make a record that would make people want to dance but i really wanted to empower people with the lyrics. i've had an incredible 2019 on stage with the spice girls and it made me feel really reflective and i wanted to celebrate this incredible life that i've been able to have working in music. you were writing it before the tour with the spice girls. do you think that whole reunion that went along with that from what you said, that had an impact on the feel and tone of the album? it really did, you know. i started before i we nt did, you know. i started before i went into rehearsals with the girls and it was taking some kind of shape but it was doing those stadium shows la st but it was doing those stadium shows last summer that cemented the theme of this record. who i am, you played a little bit of the first single, it really introduces the album, a great starting point, it's about self acceptance, about finally being comfortable in my own skin and i wa nt comfortable in my own skin and i want this to be empowering for the listener as much as it is for me,

being able to perform it.” listener as much as it is for me, being able to perform it. i love what you said and done looking at the lyrics, they are brilliant, one of the bed says when i look in the mirrori of the bed says when i look in the mirror i finally like what icy. that‘s very honest, and you‘ve been through some difficult times, haven‘t you? through some difficult times, haven't you? absolutely. i think, unfortunately, we all put ourselves underso unfortunately, we all put ourselves under so much pressure, obey culture is. and yes, i've got to this point and finally, i'm like, you know what, i'm amazing! i've done incredible things, i've had really tough times but instead of being regretful about those tough times i wa nt regretful about those tough times i want to celebrate overcoming them. i know lots of people, especially right now, we are struggling, you know? such a challenging time for everybody. and i think we need to be kind to ourselves, we are going to get through this together. when you look back and you mentioned wannabe in the introductions, i‘m sure you‘d get spoken to about that all the time, do you look back and say that

is where i was then and this is where i am now? do you know what's strange, i don't know how you guys feel being on the telly but i still look at myself, only yesterday, i was doing a tv show in berlin and i watch the playback and it's like watching somebody i know. i don't have that connection with it being the person i am inside, it's quite surreal. talk to me about sporty spice, that was the name given to you but you are really sporty! i'm not as sporty as you! yes you are, you are fast! i am dry. as a kid i played loads of sports at school, i loved jim never —— gymnastics, athletics, and like you now i am a lover of the triathlon, i haven't done one in a while but i'm looking forward to getting out there. and we we re forward to getting out there. and we were in full lockdown i was going out for my exercise most days and i was cycling around central london which was amazing. i hope i never

have the opportunity to see if that quiet again but i'm glad i had the chance to do that. it was incredible. interesting to hear you talk about those ports, you didn‘t mention football, is that because of a certain result yesterday? i'm sorry, the line is cutting out, i cannot hear you! she is a big liverpool fan, let‘s not mention that. tell me, what about the future. presumably you have the album, you want to tear, what is going to happen? we did a live stream last week which was incredible! that went really well, it's online if people want to check it's online if people want to check it out and i'm planning to go on tourin it out and i'm planning to go on tour in april, may next year here in the uk and europe but we are waiting to see. i felt like i wanted to plan something, i think it's important we have things to look forward to. we know we have to adapt, there might bea know we have to adapt, there might be a chance that we are going to have to shift it but right now it's looking good. i want to send my love out to all the students out there,

you guys are in manchester, it's just, everyone is having such a hard time andl just, everyone is having such a hard time and i hope we can get through this really quickly and get back to really enjoying life to the full. as you know, it will be illegal to ask you know, it will be illegal to ask you on without asking about a spice girls reunion? might it happen? it might well happen. it's something we talk about a lot, we don't have any plans right now, obviously it's difficult to make firm plans with anything. especially something as huge as the spice girls! but we are very keen to get back on stage together so watch this space! that's super exciting. thank you so much, i love your energy, it‘s infectious and we really appreciated. take care. so lovely to speak to you. lovely to have you on the programme, sorry, are you off. melanie c‘s self—titled album is out now. so many of you getting in touch about brendan who we were speaking
