6:06 am
feeling in my stomach, the feeling of anticipation and excitement that you could be about to watch something special, and antimony plasma case at wimbledon in 2013, it was the british player to wind a grand slam for 77 years, the first british male player. and in an raducanu's case, the first british woman to wind a grand slam but not quite as long, but a long stretch nonetheless, 44 years. but it is the contrasting ways they got there. andy murray lost his first four grand slam finals before he won the us open and then wimbledon. in emma raducanu's case, it is her second grand slam. it has never happened before. nobody had ever won a grand slam in fewer than three attempts, and she has done it by coming through qualifying and winning ten matches out of ten in straight sets. it is a miraculous story, one that i don't think we will ever be able to beat, at least within tennis, for 50 years plus. beat, at least within tennis, for 50 years plus-— beat, at least within tennis, for 50 earslus. , ~ , years plus. absolutely. a few people after wimbledon _

6:10 am
priti patel attended a lunch last month, where covid travel rules were among the topics discussed. ms patel resigned from the cabinet in 2017 amid controversy over her unauthorised meetings with israeli officials, politicians and the then prime minister benjamin netanyahu. a spokesman for ms patel said details of her meetings will be published as usual in accordance with the code. the usa has marked two decades since 9/11, the deadliest terror attacks on its soil. relatives of those who died read aloud the names of the victims, and a minute—long silence was held at the exact time each hijacked plane crashed. 0ur washington correspondent nomia iqbal reflects on a day of tributes. last post plays. it was the last stop for president biden, to remember the day that

6:14 am
to make them greener head of the uk's legally binding commitment to stop adding to climate change. as this year's trade union congress gets under way in london, protecting thesejobs is a major talking point. unions say they want to see a plan in place from the government to help companies adapt to the green future. we are focusing on heavy cover industries like the steel industry, for example, where we know there are new low carbon ways to do business and we know businesses are going to have to adapt. but what is going to happen is that companies are going to think about locating in countries where they get support from the government to make those adaptations to invest in the new technology, to think about how you produce those carbon heavy goods in a low carbon way, and that is why the uk government needs to step up so that our businesses can compete.- our businesses can compete. there's no doubt that — our businesses can compete. there's no doubt that will _ our businesses can compete. there's no doubt that will have _ our businesses can compete. there's no doubt that will have to _ our businesses can compete. there's no doubt that will have to undergo i our businesses can compete. there's no doubt that will have to undergo a | no doubt that will have to undergo a green revolution, and that will inevitably have an impact on job. just how severe that impact will be
6:15 am
will depend on how it is planned and of course how it is paid for, at a time when there are already so many demands on the public purse. the government says the tuc�*s claims are untrue, saying the uk has grown its economy by 78% while cutting emissions by 44% over the past three decades. and it launched an independent task force to develop plans for good quality green jobs by 2030. in a rare moment of unity this weekend, employers group the cbi backs unions, saying that speed is of the essence when it comes to going green. more information on the government's net zero strategy will be launched ahead of cop 26, the major climate change conference at the end of october. katie prescott, bbc news. now, maria mendiola, who sang the disco anthem yes sir, i can boogie, has died at the age of 69. # yes sir, i can boogie
6:16 am
# but i need a certain song maria was one half of the spanish duo baccara. she's the one in the white dress here, along with bandmate mayte mateos. the song was a huge hit in 1977, and it entered the uk chart again last year after being adopted by the scotland football team and fans, much to maria's delight at the time. it's amazing! if like a dream, you know? it's all terrible here with this pandemic and everything is sad, you know? you have relatives who got sick. everything was so sad and at once, last friday, since last friday, i'm so happy! so thank you to the uk, thank you to scotland, thank you to the scottish team. brilliant. her delight at scottish fans's devotion to her at them. it
6:17 am
was a great song. a brilliant song! here's chris with a look at the weather. good morning to you. how is it looking? good morning. it's not a bad day coming up for many of us. there will be some clout about but some funny style coming through and a lot of dry weather. —— cloud, —— sunny skies. the cloud will thicken through the day and this afternoon some patchy outbreaks of rain on the way. from space you can see the cloud and jet stream bringing developments to the west of spain but close enough to this area of low pressure to bring this weather front end, and this will slide into wales, it's this will slide into wales, it's this area of cloud bringing the rain later on today. this is how we start the morning— a fine sunrise i think for quite a few and probably the best across england where we have good breaks in the cloud, especially for central and eastern areas, but later the rain heads into wales. a few spots of rain through northern
6:18 am
scotland initially this morning but dry weather here as we head into the afternoon. feeling a lot fresher compared with recent days, temperatures coming down. we're still hanging something a little bit warmer in the south. temperatures into the low 20s. we have been talking about the great north run on the programme this morning and it looks like it'll stay dry and bright there are things but certainly quite a cool start of the day but probably good conditions for it, not too hot or cold so i think it will be suitable for many people out and about. 0vernight we have the weather front into wales as further patches of rain here, clear skies on the north allow temperatures to implement into northeast scotland, we could see lows in the countryside of three or four degrees so certainly feeling like early autumn has arrived. despite the cold start, monday should actually be sunny here as we go through much of the day and fun time for northern ireland and good part of northern england but further south, weather front will probably break up to bring some
6:19 am
patchy rain or some showers across western areas of england and dry weather further east and still relatively warm in the south—east. heading into tuesday, funny looking front, staggering their way eastwards across the country, potentially bringing areas of rain. hit and miss in nature though, not everyone will see the rain. some of the weather went to perhaps into eastern england, some perhaps into western scotland and northern ireland for a time. perhaps turning drier and sunnierfor ireland for a time. perhaps turning drier and sunnier for wales and the south—west later on. generally in the high teens to low 20s and where the high teens to low 20s and where the september sunshine comes out it will not feel too bad at all. beyond it, a fair bit of dry weather once we have cleared the rain. through wednesday and thursday with some sunny spells but heavy into friday, we may well see some rain moving in back of the atlantic from the west so a bit of a mixed picture today but for many of us, dry and bright but for many of us, dry and bright but we have some rain on the way for
6:20 am
wales later on. but we have some rain on the way for wales later on-_ wales later on. chris, thank you, we will seak wales later on. chris, thank you, we will speak again _ wales later on. chris, thank you, we will speak again soon. _ now on breakfast, it's time for the film review with jane hill and mark kermode. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. look who's here! he's real — it's mark kermode really here in the studio, not an avatar! it is fabulous to be back in the studio with you, jane. how lovely to see you again. so, we have a packed show coming up. so, we've got reviews of the collini case, which is a german crime thriller. we have respect, which is the biopic of aretha franklin, withjennifer hudson. and we have herself, which is a new film by phyllida lloyd, which i think you and i have different opinions about. cuhckles. to be discussed. we start with the collini case.
6:21 am
yes, so, german crime thriller, based on a book by ferdinand von schirach — which i confess i have not read, although it's apparently a very famous book. story is a young lawyer is assigned to a case in which he has to defend a man, fabricio collini, played by the great franco niro, who is accused of murder. the case seems fairly hopeless, not least because shortly after the murder, fabricio collini presented himself, covered in blood, and now refuses to speak in his own defence. here's a clip.
6:22 am
so it then transpires that the lawyer actually knew the victim. in fact, the victim was something of a mentor to him, took him under his wing, almost fathered him. the question is why on earth would anybody want to kill this man, who was a respected industrialist and, as far as the lawyer, knows was a very good person? the author of the book, his grandfather was a very high—ranking nazi who was tried at nuremberg and one of the things the book is about is coming to terms with, you know, the past and the ghosts of your own past and accepting the fact that people who seem like one thing may actually be something completely different, so a lot of the story is to do with confronting guilt. it's also a pretty good drama in terms of — it's a courtroom drama. now, i love a courtroom drama,
6:23 am
i do understand courtroom dramas are full of things that never happen in real courtrooms, like people producing witnesses out of nowhere that nobody�*s heard of, people presenting papers — ijust happen to have in my bag... i quite like a courtroom drama too, you see... yeah, i'm a suckerfor it. i keep expecting somebody to slam the table and say, "you can't handle the truth!" if you accept that the drama itself is fairly contrived and it does have all those conventions, then i think it's very entertaining. but more importantly, it is about something very serious. it is about that thing of looking back into the past, looking back into a country's guilty past and your own family's guilty past and asking questions about whether people are the people that they seem to be. so it's doing quite a clever thing which is it's a very entertaining pot—boiler on one hand but also, its about something far more substantial. as i said, i haven't read the book, but i very much enjoyed the film. it's called the collini case, it's in cinemas now. ok, now, respect. i really want this to be good because aretha franklin —
6:24 am
an extraordinary life story. and so the good news is, she's played byjennifer hudson, who is fantastic in the lead role. i mean, ithink everybody expected this. aretha franklin herself effectively appointed jennifer hudson. she had, you know — she was very controlling on the project right up until her death in 2018, and she said tojennifer hudson, "you're the right person to do this" so that's great. i mean, she can sing, she can act, she has charisma, she has presence and it's a great performance. i think the problem is the film itself isn't quite as exceptional as either its central performance or, indeed, as aretha franklin. it's a very sort of tumultuous life story and the film wants to play things fairly safe. so there's domestic abuse, there is alcoholism, there is — there's a lot of stuff that is quite dark and the film acknowledges it. what it doesn't really know, then, is what to do with it. the musical set pieces are fantastic — i mean, really fantastic — and it goes from the 19505 in detroit up to 1972 and the recording of her
6:25 am
record—breaking gospel album and actually, because that's a very glorious place to finish — people will recently have seen amazing grace, the documentary about her doing that, which, you know, was delayed for so long, so i think it's worth seeing it forjennifer hudson's performance because she's terrific. ijust — i wanted the film to be more exceptional and an awful lot of the rock biopics have got the same beats, they've got the same story points. a lot of this seems familiar. but she carries it shoulder high and when she's on stage and doing it, she's really great. and it's notjust the voice — it's the gestures, it's the way she holds her head back, its the way she half—closes her eyes. i mean, she's got the physical performance absolutely down pat, so that's great. the film itself, however, not as good as her performance. 0k, yes, a mixed bag. i mean, jennifer hudson is very talented, isn't she? and herself — i'm — well, i'm fascinated to know what you made of it. ok, so i mentioned that i don't think that respect knows what to do with its themes of domestic abuse. so in the case of herself, this is an irish drama played
6:26 am
at sundance in 2020 — before everything happened — and it's co—written by clare dunne who stars as sandra, who is a mother who has an abusive partner, she needs to get away from the abusive partner with her children to find a house. she can't find a house and then she sees, online, someone saying, "look, it's possible to build a house for a fairly small amount of money". this sounds ridiculous but then, a family friend says "well, i'll give you my back garden," effectively, "to do it in, if you can make the house". here's a clip. a house? hmm. our own house? hmm. at the bottom of the garden? like a fairy house. the only thing is, girls — _ and this is really important, right? — we can't tell anyone. not anyone at school, not nanny, granddad and especially, - especially not daddy. why? i'm just going by what ado the builder said. i he said that's the rules — i and you've seen him, right? you don't want to mess with him, do you? i no. so we have to keep this to ourselves, yeah? i our own special secret. like black widow?
6:27 am
sort of. what's that? 0h, it'sjust a code word. it's better you don't know. yeah. so. no telling, 0k? hmm. pinkie promise? both: one... ..two. . .three. .. ..pinkie promise! 0h, girls. oh, and that's a fantastic clip, i think, because that summarises so much and reminds us how brilliant the three of them are when they're on screen together. and you completely believe in them as a family. yes, yes. and, so, it's directed by phyllida lloyd, mamma mia!, which was a huge smash hit, iron lady, which of course you know was oscar—feted. this feels like a smaller project. but here's the interesting thing — half the film is about the nightmare of domestic abuse and half of it is about the dream of building your own home — which is,
6:28 am
you know, almost a fairytale. in fact, at one point, they actually do refer to it as a fairytale home. and i think the thing that the drama does really well for me is that on the one hand, it's got that stuff that you get from something like witness — remember the barn building scene in witness? — which — which everyone loves, it's everyone's favourite scene — of course everyone loves watching a home being built! and it uses that to tell a much darker story about the plight of a woman who is being failed by the system, who is looking everywhere for help and is not receiving it. and i think that what the drama manages to do is to tell that darker story, that more difficult story, but in a way that looks like it's a heart—warming, uplifting movie. i know that you were quite surprised by how tough some of it was. i felt — for me, i felt it was more a film about the domestic violence than the house building — even though there are some quite joyous scenes with the house building and the way her neighbours come to help and all that sort of thing. just that — i thought it was a clever undercurrent but a real — a real knot in your stomach
6:29 am
constantly because you are constantly worried about the abusive man who you know is still out there. so here's the fascinating thing. if you actually look at the amount of screen time that you see, you know, it's flashbacks, it's fairly little and they're fairly discreet. yes! but this — it's like a kind of a tension in your gut all the way through because they're interspersed as flashbacks and you feel that they are the background to everything. i think that's what's clever about the film. i think that what the film is doing is kind of, you know, it's sugar—coating the pill by making it apparently about putting a house together. and there's all this stuff — will it happen? will it work? all that stuff — but actually, it's about something more serious. and i think if you're going to make a film about this kind of story, the challenge is to make it acceptable. to make it — yeah — will i enjoy watching it? well, yes, there is plenty to enjoy in herself. there is also plenty to be alarmed by, but i think that's a pretty good balancing act. yes, i would agree with that. also good performances. and great to see in cinemas because it was going to go — you know, it had a streaming release because its cinema release
6:30 am
was messed up and it should have won awards but it was eligible last year and nobody saw it, so now it's great that it's in cinemas. yes, go see it. absolutely go see it. what's your verdict on best out? see, i love annette, which is the musical by leos carax, with music by sparks. i love sparks — partly an age thing — but i love sparks, absolutely love sparks. this is a story about a cynical comedian who marries a much—loved soprano and they have a baby, which is portrayed by a puppet, and the baby inherits the voice of its mother. and it's like — it's a fable, a very dark fable in many ways. it sounds like a completely bonkers idea but it works for me because there is a kernel of truth in there. i've seen it three times now. i've played the soundtrack over and over again. it's got some real earworms — i mean, sparks are great at kind of earworms songs — but i thought it was really wonderful. it's... it looks wacky — beyond wacky! it is, but it's like the thing about quirky, you know? there's a very thin line between quirky and irksome. wacky makes it sound more zany —
6:31 am
which i never like zany. it's strange and weird and experimental but it's also — it made me cry. i love films that make me cry. 0h, wll, so do i! the servant i really, really want to see, though. it won't make you cry. 0h! the servant was described — this is a 19605joe losey film with a screenplay by harold pinter, and dirk bogarde, sarah miles, james fox, wendy craig — and it's about people stuck in a single place, essentially, in which servant and master relationships are turned on their head. you can see it as a film that influenced everything from — er, i mean, parasite takes an awful lot from it. there's a steve woolley film called stone which takes a lot from it in performance. it's in ak, back in cinemas now for a couple of weeks, then you can get it on dvd and download from the 20th. really worth seeing. you loved the trailer, right? yes, yes, yes, and i liked parasite, and echoes and — yes, yeah. yes, but very cold, very cold! very chilly — not a lot of laughs! chuckles. that's ok, that's ok. get to the cinema nonetheless, that's what we have to say. so lovely to have you back.
6:32 am
thanks very much, mark. great to be back, thank you. see you very soon. all the previous shows are on iplayer, of course. and i hope you can start enjoying some cinema—going. wouldn't that be fantastic? thanks for being with us. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and sally nugent. a few months ago she was sitting her a—levels. last night she became the first british woman in 44 years to win a major tennis tournament. 0ur reporter samira hussein spoke to emma raducanu after her historic win. i'v e i've got no idea what's going on, not at all. i've got no clue. anything that comes my way i'm ready to deal with it, and i've got great people around me to take me through these moments and they got me here,

both at a level, you couldn't believe they were 18 and 19. in the momentsjust believe they were 18 and 19. in the moments just before the match started when we were watching emma, she was very kind of quiet and centred, what do you think was going through her mind at that point? i don't know. the thing about emma is, she thinks so differently to many of us. she has got this incredible deep level of self belief, so in moments that, you know, most of us mere mortals would be very nervous, and thinking negatively about the situation, she thinks very clear about it, she likes to do her own research, the nights before her matches, where a lot of people may believe that to bear coaches or they have someone on the team who does that for them. she likes to really research what she wants to do an attack explore her game. she speaks attack explore her game. she speaks a lot about staying in the moment and taking it one point at a time so iam sure and taking it one point at a time so i am sure she was just thinking about which to she wanted to implement. about which to she wanted to implement-— about which to she wanted to imlement. , , ., ., ~ implement. interesting you talk about her focus. _ implement. interesting you talk about her focus. after _ implement. interesting you talk l about her focus. after wimbledon there were some people who said, you

6:40 am
they kind of outdid them on the mental side of things, and she is so quick to those short in the court, so if her opponent does drop it short, she is so clinical. she gets up short, she is so clinical. she gets up to them quickly, takes her opponent because my time away, it's winners of them and does not allow them an extra play on the ball. this miaht be them an extra play on the ball. this might be technical, i don't know if i am asking a daft question, but how does she do that? that thing where she anticipates, she gets to the ball quicker than other people. how does she do that? i do ball quicker than other people. how does she do that?— does she do that? i do not know if that is something _ does she do that? i do not know if that is something you _ does she do that? i do not know if that is something you can - does she do that? i do not know if that is something you can practicej that is something you can practice or if it is just something that is a talent of hers. maybe it is something she was born with. it is that all nature versus nurture argument, maybe she really worked on but a lot when she was younger, maybe it was an aspect, but that is very involved in her tennis, maybe it is an aspect of dad decided was really important temples may be missing on the two in some people's games, maybe they worked on but when she was younger, i don't know. but it is seriously impressive. you obviously _ it is seriously impressive. you obviously know _ it is seriously impressive. you obviously know her, _ it is seriously impressive. you obviously know her, we can only see what we see, and to me she seems so

6:43 am
anything, i wasjust honest i wasn't really thinking anything, i was just enjoying the moment. cristiano ronaldo made a stunning return to manchester united, scoring twice in their 4—1 premier league win over newcastle. the 36—year—old found the net either side of half—time at old trafford. bruno fernandez and jesse lingard were also on target for united, who are top of the table this morning. you can see all of yesterday's goals on match of the day on bbc1 shortly. that starts at 7:00. lewis hamilton will need some luck on his side if he's not to slip further behind max verstappen in the formula 1 drivers' championship at today's italian grand prix. the world champion made a poor start to yesterday's sprint qualifying race and ended up finishing fifth. his mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas won, but second—placed verstappen gets to start on pole after bottas was given a grid penalty. hamilton will start from fourth. there is an easy win for max out tomorrow, so it is going to be a big hit this weekend.— tomorrow, so it is going to be a big hit this weekend. come on, there is

6:46 am
yorkshire so those areas could see outbreaks of rain. a fresher feel to the weather across many northern areas in particular. with some sunny spells still across central and eastern england. it's the great north run, i think pretty good conditions for those runners, not too cold or too hot and a north—westerly breeze — nothing too brisk. overnight, there is the area of rain, potentially bringing the wet weather across parts of northern england, midlands and wales so to the north, both skies clear and those temperatures plummet, a much colder night than we have seen over recent nights. three or four degrees in the countryside in scotland so feeling like autumn is on the doorstep there. despite the cold start on monday there should be warmth across the uk and across wales and some western areas of england we have the weather front threatening outbreaks of rain but rain is likely to become
6:47 am
increasingly patchy as get through the day and many eastern areas are staying dry and bright. temperatures quite a range, 17—20 but cooler across northern scotland. for tuesday, those weather fronts slide eastwards across the uk, bringing the threat of some rain and some idea whether heaviest way will be and some will slide between the weather fronts to give some dry weather fronts to give some dry weather and some sunshine and probably looking bad for wales and the south—west, but the rhema clear away from the east and some rain likely across scotland and northern ireland on tuesday and most temperature 18—21. beyond that, most of the cloud and rain will tend to clear and break and we should see some drier weatherfor clear and break and we should see some drier weather for the middle part of the week through wednesday and thursday with temperatures lifting a little bit. about average for belfast and edinburgh. on friday, some cloud thickening from the west, threatening more rain, but a mixed picture today try and bright

7:02 am
after a stunning performance in new york. the teenager from bromley made history by beating i9—year—old leylah fernandez in two sets. it means raducanu is the first british woman to win a grand slam title in 44 years, and has been congratulated by the queen for her success. joe wilson has more. the borough of queens, and the extraordinary progress of one young woman. she's been absolutely amazing this whole tournament. she has a lot of energy. she so composed and ruthless. she's going to smash it. you know who they're talking about. announcer: emma raducanu! well, there were two teenagers in the us open final, canadian leylah fernandez at the top of the screen, as early as the second game we saw intense rallies and we saw emma raducanu prevailing here. both players settled immediately to display a full range of their abilities. points were hard—earned, skilfully won. nerves — no sign.
7:03 am
two things were clear. we had a final worthy of the occasion and raducanu had the first set, 6—4. she was broken early in the second set, broke back like that. now fernandez was struggling to hold her serve. did you see this shot coming? oh, my god! did we see any of this coming? 44 years of waiting, i hour 51 on court, and one more serve. it is right to realise what this means for british tennis, but also for world tennis. it was an outstanding match, an astounding champion. really, it's yours — it's all yours. it's an absolute dream. like, you just have visions of yourself, you know, going up to the box, hugging everyone, i mean, celebrating. that's something that you always think of and you always work for, and for that moment to actually happen, um, yeah, i'm just so grateful for my team that are here with me and the team that are back home and the lta and every single person who's supported me
7:04 am
along this journey. these images will be the posters and the posts displayed for decades. if the point of sport is to uplift and amaze, emma raducanu is already at the pinnacle. joe wilson, bbc news. emma's historic achievement has been acknowledged by royalty, with the queen sending her congratulations, saying in a statement: "it is a remarkable achievement at such a young age, and is testament to your hard work and dedication." the statement goes on: "i have no doubt your outstanding performance, and that of your opponent leylah fernandez, will inspire the next generation of tennis players." the duke and duchess of cambridge tweeted: 'huge congratulations emma raducanu on your stunning performances and historic grand slam victory. we are all so proud of you." the prime minister tweeted: "what a sensational match! huge congratulations to emma raducanu. you showed extraordinary skill, poise and guts and we are all hugely proud of you."
7:05 am
and tennis great martina navratilova said: "a star is born. never has a qualifier won a major — men or women — and she is just getting started. leylah fernandez will be back — both are champions but emma has the trophy — well done." we'll be getting reaction from the world of tennis throughout the morning to emma's amazing victory and speaking to those know her, including former british number one anne keothavong. plans to manage coronavirus this winter will be announced by the prime minister in the coming days. borisjohnson is also set to repeal some remaining powers of the coronavirus act, which are no longer deemed necessary. our political correspondent lone wells is in our london newsroom. lone, what more can we expect to hear? well, obviously, as you say, winter is coming, and the prime minister wants to set out a plan for what
7:06 am
might need to be a sort of triple one media of measures, because we know the nhs may well be facing rising covid cases, coupled with flu, but also a big backlog of procedures due to the pandemic that the nhs will need to tackle. so he is likely to set out a bit more about the government's plans to do that. firstly we know he is set to announce a little bit more on the government's covid vaccine booster programme following advice earlier in the week from that independent committee, thejci, about who is going to be eligible for those boosterjabs, but it is expected the elderly are going to be prioritised first. now, secondly, we can expect a bit more from the prime minister about some of the contingency plans government officials are looking into. these are essentially behavioural things that may need to behavioural things that may need to be introduced again if the nhs does come at risk of being overwhelmed. things like potentially the use of face coverings, social distancing, working from home, but government sources are really keen to stress they are not considering future
7:07 am
lockdowns again. thirdly, the other think we can expect from the prime minister is that some of that coronavirus act, that emergency law that was introduced to give ministers new powers to tackle coronavirus, is set to be repealed. so things like the power to close businesses, but is something set to go. but they will be some legal requirements that will still remain, so for example be power to give people sick pay on day one of self isolation as opposed to day seven, and also the power to reopen schools against government advice. i think the real thing to look out for as well will be the tone of this, a bit different from last year's winter, all these measures will be things the prime minister is stressing our ways that allow us to live with coronavirus, going forward into this winter season.— winter season. thanks very much indeed. the usa has marked two decades since 9/11, the deadliest terror attacks on its soil. relatives of those who died, read aloud the names of the victims, and a minute—long silence was held at the exact time each hijacked plane crashed. our washington correspondent nomia iqbal reflects on a day of tributes.
7:08 am
last post plays. it was the last stop for president biden, to remember the day that changed america. he laid a wreath in washington after visiting all the sites whether terrorists struck. bell tolls. at the start of the day, america paused for six moments of silence. it began at 8:1l6am local time, when the first plane crashed into the north tower. and then the harrowing moments when the names of those who died were read out, one by one, nearly all 3,000 of them. stephen bruce bunin. andrew clive gilbert. my cousin, jenine nicole gonzalez. the thing i remember most about you is your smile, . and the illustrious light of that - smile continues to guide our family every single day. i ask that every single one of us

here call upon the strength - of our loved ones to help navigate us through tough times. - dennis m carey, senior. and my big brother. we love... chokes up. we love and miss you every day. you will never be forgotten. after bravely rushing into danger that day, hundreds of first responders who died were honoured at the firehouse in the city. presidents past and present paid their respects, including the man who presided over the us at the time, george w bush. like the current president, he talked about the importance of unity and contrasted america today with the american then. when it comes to the unity of america, those days seem distant from our own. malign force seems at work

in our common life, that turns every disagreement into an argument, and every argument into a clash of cultures. so much of our politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fear and resentment. but the day belonged to the people whose lives were ruined by the events of 20 years ago, and while america is used to remembering 9/11 every year, large anniversaries like this have brought into sharp focus what was lost that day. nomia iqbal, bbc news, new york. the trade union group, the tuc, has warned that up to 660,000 jobs could be at risk, if the uk fails to reach net zero carbon emissions as quickly as other countries. ministers have pledged to cut carbon emissions by almost 80% by 2035. but the tuc fears that many roles could be moved elsewhere unless britain starts investing more heavily in green infrastructure. maria mendiola, who sang the disco anthem "yes sir, i can boogie"," has
7:11 am
died at the age of 69. # yes sir, i can boogie # but i need a certain song maria was one half of the spanish duo baccara. she's the one in white here, along with bandmate mayte mateos. the song was a huge hit in 1977 and it entered the uk chart again last year after being adopted by the scotland football team and fans much to maria's delight at the time. it's amazing! if like a dream, you know? it's all terrible here with this pandemic and everything is sad, you know? you have relatives who got sick. everything was so sad and at once, last friday, since last friday, i'm so happy! so thank you to the uk, thank you to scotland, thank you to the scottish team.
7:12 am
that was maria mendiola, who has died at the age of 69. what a fantastic piece of music that is. one of the standout moments last night was when the whole stadium was singing sleet caroline is an erratic kind of wonder us open. that is our top story this morning. she has been speaking after this incredible victory, talking about how she has dreamt of this moment since she was a child and was pleased to make a family proud. yeah, i thought, from the very beginning i knew it was going to be an extremely difficult match. leylah, she has played some incredible tennis, taking out a lot of the top ten this week. i knew i would really have to bring my game. i was trying to focus as much as possible on one point at a time, and there were some really great battles and i really had to dig deep to face quite a bit of adversity, in both sets. so i am really proud of howl
7:13 am
managed to stick in and come through in the end. from pretty early on, i would say, i have always dreamt of winning a grand slams. you know, you just say these things, you say, i want to wind a grand slams, but to have the belief i did in actually executing and winning a grand slams, i can't believe it. ifirst started when i was a little girl, but i think the biggest thing that you have visions of is, for me, winning the moment i'm going to celebrate with your team in the box and trying to get into the box and seeing them after the match, that has been playing in my had a couple of nights, like, i have fallen asleep devout. i speak to my parents, we don't really talk so much about tennis, but theyjust really don't really talk so much about tennis, but they just really want to know how i am in these moments, and you know, do not have them here with me, i would you know, do not have them here with me, iwould have you know, do not have them here with me, i would have loved them to be here and we could all celebrate

away, or it doesn't sound like it, anyway. and the people around who have been very sensible. she takes it all one step at a time and it's as though she has just won an ordinary tournament, let alone a grand slam. i mean, she had never won a match on the wta tour before now, she has hardly played before now, she has hardly played before now, but look at her now. in her mind it is not that big, it's what she has been practising for. and here she is, she's done it! you say she can handle _ here she is, she's done it! you say she can handle it _ here she is, she's done it! you say she can handle it and _ here she is, she's done it! you say she can handle it and you - here she is, she's done it! you say she can handle it and you will - here she is, she's done it! you say| she can handle it and you will again no better than us, at wimbledon, where she caught everyone's i and capture the attention, there were some people when it came to an end who thought she could not handle it. i guess if you are going to answer your critics, she's done it fairly emphatically, hasn't she? you know, one thing that _ emphatically, hasn't she? you know, one thing that everybody _ emphatically, hasn't she? you know, one thing that everybody has - emphatically, hasn't she? you know, one thing that everybody has said, i one thing that everybody has said, she is very quick learner. and from going under the spotlight at wimbledon when that was the very

first time she had anything like that to then a few weeks later handling it totally differently, and yes, you are a step away from the wimbledon focus, which is very different for a british player, so there is that. but that centre court at the us open is enormous. but went to the crowd fabulous as well? amazing. it is terrifyingly huge and when you saw them walk out you think it is the biggest, most giant — look at it! terrifying to look at let alone attempting to play the biggest match of your life. but i think the thing ifound really reassuring listening to her interview was when she said i've been chatting to my mum and dad but actually not about tennis. ., ., , . mum and dad but actually not about tennis. ., ., . , �* mum and dad but actually not about tennis. . . , . mum and dad but actually not about tennis. . . , �* ., mum and dad but actually not about tennis. ., . w ., . tennis. fantastic, isn't it? you are still a person. _ tennis. fantastic, isn't it? you are still a person, aren't _ tennis. fantastic, isn't it? you are still a person, aren't you? - tennis. fantastic, isn't it? you are still a person, aren't you? she - tennis. fantastic, isn't it? you are still a person, aren't you? she is i still a person, aren't you? she is still a person, aren't you? she is still 18. she likes other things. she likes f1 and jazz music and i

7:21 am
blue skies and a bit of sunshine and that's the way most of us will have weatherwise, but skies, some sunshine coming through. but it's not like that everywhere. in wales, outbreaks of rain for sure. the possibility some of the brain could move into parts of northern england but i will talk about that in a moment megaport the rain. a big loop on thejet stream moment megaport the rain. a big loop on the jet stream powering this pressure to the south—west but it's close enough to affect the area of cloud. this weather front is sliding east, past the south coast of the republic of ireland, and it brings the rain to wales. from here it could get across into parts of north—west england and i'm thinking around about greater manchester, merseyside, maybe the north—west midlands and it finger across the pennines into parts of yorkshire later this afternoon. away from it, a lot of dry and bright weather but it will feel a bit cooler and fresher across the northern half of the country. it's warmer in the
7:22 am
south—east with some sunshine. great north run, it should stay dry with quite a bit of cloud about but some bright or sunny spells and some pretty decent conditions. a fair north—westerly breeze, yes, but not too hot or not too cold. it should be all right conditions for getting around that course. the weather front still brings rain to parts of wales in western england tonight with clear skies in scotland and northern ireland and here it will be a cold night, colder than we are used to, countryside temperatures in north—east scotland 23 or four celsius so a cold start of the day on monday. plenty of sunshine as well. —— two or three or four. but the in north—east england as well but the further east you go, drier and brighter with temperatures generally high teens to low 20s and again the warmest air hanging on across parts of east anglia and the of england. looking into tuesday's forecast, we have the weather front
7:23 am
finally pushing its way east, bringing some rain. it will be pudgy so some areas will miss it entirely and could become drierfor wales in south—west england later the day and maybe some for scotland and ireland with temperatures 18—21. some changing weather conditions over the next few days and as the rain cleared through on tuesday, midweek could be drier and brighter and a bit warm across southern england. at the same time we will probably see thicker cloud working in on friday, threatening outbreaks of rain, especially to some western areas of the country. not bad, dry and bright for many of us but rain for wales and perhaps parts of northern england as well. back to you. thank ou, england as well. back to you. thank you. chris. — imagine living next to a stunning beauty spot but not being able to visit it — that was the reality for gilbert taylor, who can see belstone tor in dartmoor, from his window but has been robbed of his mobility by multiple sclerosis. gilbert thought he'd never get

7:32 am
just as excited about it being here as they have been before, they missed it last year, they had to run into virtually, but assume this field will be full of runners heading up on the hill behind us on to be motorway, where instead of a seeing that throng of 60,000 runners also, altogether heading out, they will be set off in waves throughout the morning, people are excited it is back and will be speaking to some of the competitors later this morning. of the competitors later this morninu. ~ of the competitors later this morning-— of the competitors later this morninu. ,, ., , morning. we will speak to shortly. alison, morning. we will speak to shortly. alison. thank— morning. we will speak to shortly. alison, thank you. _ morning. we will speak to shortly. alison, thank you. really - morning. we will speak to shortly. alison, thank you. really enjoyed | alison, thank you. really en'oyed talkin: to alison, thank you. really en'oyed talking to the i alison, thank you. really en'oyed talking to the competitors i alison, thank you. really en'oyed talking to the competitors ah alison, thank you. really enjoyed talking to the competitors a short time ago dressed as three little pigs. i wonder what we will have next time. let's talk about the rest of the sport. there are other achievements than emma raducanu that we should be celebrating? a day of history, clearly eradicated front and centre. —— emma raducanu.
7:33 am
gordon reid and alfie hewett have become the first men to win all four wheelchair slam double titles in the same year. they beat gustavo fernandez and shingo kunieda 6—2, 6—1 in the us open final. and hewett will aim to win the singles title when he faces kunieda again today in a repeat of last year's final. and that's not it for the historic achievements, becausejoe salisbury has become the first briton to win two doubles titles at a grand slam in the open era, after winning the mixed doubles title at the us open, a day after winning the men's doubles. salisbury and american partner desirae krawczyk beat mexico's giuliana olmos and el salvador�*s marcelo arevalo 7—5, 6—2 at flushing meadows. just pure emotion, i guess, just joy, just pure emotion, i guess, just joy, excitement, disbelief. to be honest, i wasn't really thinking anything, i wasjust honest, i wasn't really thinking anything, i was just enjoying the moment. cristiano ronaldo made a stunning return to manchester united, scoring twice in their 4—1
7:34 am
premier league win over newcastle. the 36—year—old found the net either side of half—time at old trafford. bruno fernandez and jesse lingard were also on target for united who are top of the table this morning. you can see all of yesterday's goals on match of the day on bbc1 shortly. that starts at 7:00. in the scottish premiership, celtic eased to victory as they thrashed ross county 3—0. but they're still three points behind rivals and league leaders rangers. they came from behind to behind to beat stjohnstone. james tavernier with a stunning winner. elsewhere, motherwell beat aberdeen 2—0 and there were goalless draws between dundee and livingston and between st mirren and dundee united. lewis hamilton will need some luck on his side if he's not to slip further behind max verstappen in the formula one drivers' championship at today's italian grand prix. the world champion made a poor start to yesterday's sprint qualifying race and ended up finishing fifth.
7:35 am
his mercedes team mate valtteri bottas won, but second placed verstappen gets to start on pole after bottas was given a grid penalty. hamilton will start from fourth. there is an easy win for max tomorrow, so it's going to be a big hit this weekend. reporter: come on, there's a long race to go, right? - still opportunities. as i said, i know what's going to happen. i'll do the best i can tomorrow. ethan hayter could become the first home winner of the tour of britain in five years later today. belgium's yves lompart won the penultimate stage into edinburgh. hayter finished sixth to retain his overall lead, four seconds ahead of his closest rival belgium's wout wout van art. the race ends this afternoon in aberdeen. and englishman laurie canter will begin today's final round of the pga championship, one shot off the lead at wentworth. the 31—year—old hit four birdies to finish the dayjust behind leader francesco laporta of italy. ireland's shane lowry, in a tussle with lee westwood for a ryder cup place, is three off the pace. got to mention again novak djokovic.
7:36 am
we have had historic achievement after historic achievement at the us open. the first grand slams for an raducanu, we know what a bonkers story that is, but if djokovic can beat medvedev it is 21 grand slams titles, taking him ahead of roger federer and rafael nadal, and he would be the first man to win a calendar slam in the modern era. that is what he really wants, you can tell. it is 7:36am. let's take a look at this week's travel show. this week on the show... upside down in nairobi. the city of love's freewheeling new ideas. and treading carefully in georgia's abandoned spaces. kenya, it's a country bursting with natural beauty, the wildlife here is world beating, the bush is unspoiled and pristine, and sunsets will take your breath away.
7:37 am
kenya, it's a country bursting with natural beauty, the wildlife here is world beating, the bush is unspoiled and pristine, and sunsets will take your breath away. it's a bit different in the capital, but hidden in this maze of dusty backstreets, there is something truly special. welcome to the mighty jumbo circus academy. these are kenya's best—known acrobats. in normal times, they would be off touring the world.
7:38 am
thanks to the pandemic, they have been stuck in nairobi for a year and a half. this is probably the most action i have ever seen happening per square metre in my entire life. it's incredible. in years gone by, the performers here, from tumblers to contortionist, have travelled across the planet showing off their incredible skills. in 2020 though, thanks to the pandemic, they only have one booking. this year, they've got nothing,
7:39 am
no money coming in whatsoever. the first time we had the booking of the school, people were confused, not knowing when they would come back. the senior acrobats have their own businesses but the young ones, the young generation, the ones that are starting, they have to keep on training but not knowing when. that must be frustrating. everything is just shut. i bet that is a loss of income for the academy? it is bad for the academy and for the individuals because they depend on this. everybody, the seniors, their families depend on acrobatics, and when they tell us not to come together for practising, something like that, it's so difficult for us.
7:40 am
matthias invites me for an early morning run to show me how they have been keeping in shape without a show to work towards, and it starts at 5:30am, every single day. a whole country of good runners yeah? we are runners. i'd rather be an acrobat. it must be frustrating for you. a whole country of good runners yeah? we are runners. i'd rather be an acrobat. it must be frustrating for you. really frustrating, not knowing when this thing will be over. so many restrictions, so that will be very confusing, not knowing when i can try to live a life. do you think it affects their motivation? it affects their motivation, but these people are really determined to move on with their life and make it count. they train for the new job,
7:41 am
but the problem is they don't get an income for that. i wave the runners on the way, bouncing up the road, and i think about how much positive energy they are carrying with them. but if the destruction carries on for much longer, the biggest impact could be on their outreach work. mightyjumbo runs a number of programmes to help kids in nairobi, not least with acro—education services, which pays for children's schooling. it's a precious resource in a country that has a problem with high unemployment and with poverty. why do you like coming to the school here?
7:42 am
do you think you are learning a lot here? no rope necessary, that's amazing! any advice you can give me that you learned here? there it is! nice! since the time they have come here, i have seen a big difference, they have a lot more confidence and they are willing to do better. i am very proud because the time they are here, i know they are under care. i know they are in a safe place when i go to myjob, so i am very grateful for this place and the things.
7:43 am
and good luck to mightyjumbo for the second half of this year. i've got everything crossed that bookings start to roll in again soon. ok, here is our pick of some of the best things to see and do around the world in the next few weeks. london's chelsea flower show is happening in september this year, for the first time in its history. the organisers claim it's the world's most prestigious horticultural event, and it usually fills with the colours of spring and summer. the change in season was forced by the pandemic, and it could mean a much more
7:44 am
autumnal field than usual. in recent years, nuit blanche, or white light, has become an autumn fixture on the arts calendar of paris. it's a citywide celebration of the city, a celebration that goes on from 7pm to 7am on october 2nd. public transport stays open all night to help you see as much as possible. this year it's themed around the outdoors, for obvious reasons. hundreds of museums across the us throw open their doors for free on september 18 as the annual smithsonian magazine museum day returns. it's not only museums — zoos, and cultural centres across all 50 states are included as well. you need to sign up online, and crucially, only us citizens can book tickets. china's mid autumn festival begins on the 19th of september. it's got a history dating back 3000 years when the emperor's worshipped
7:45 am
the moon for a bountiful harvest. adherents believe the moon is at its brightest during the festival. a great place to see it is amazing's beihai park. the crowds heading there like to take a moonlight cruise on the lake with locally bought moon cake, and with tea. still to come on the travel show... the big ideas that could clean up paris. and the former asylum exciting america's urban explorers. so don't go away! our next port of call this week finds us in france, which has used lockdown to think again about how its people work, play, and travel in the capital city. it could all end in sweeping car bands, paving the way for more of the same across europe.
7:46 am

7:52 am
next up, we're crossing to the us and the city of milledgeville in georgia, which used to be home to one of the biggest psychiatric hospitals in the world. in recent times, the half—abandoned site has become a honeypot for urban explorers. william lee roberts, who is from the state, has been to take a look. sprawling, overbearing and derelict, these 200 buildings once made up one of the largest and most notorious state—run psychiatric hospitals in the world. based in milledgeville, a small town less than 100 miles from atlanta, the central state
7:53 am
hospital's dark legacy is infamous with local residents. founded in the 19th century as the georgia state lunatic, idiot and epileptic asylum, a lack of funding and a primitive approach to mental health led to brutal treatments and, at times, deteriorating conditions. it's strange but when i was a little kid and i was misbehaving, my father would threaten me by saying "i'm gonna send you down to milledgeville" and i would shut up. but to be here voluntarily all these years later, it feels a little wrong. a small section of the hospital is still in operation. there are still patients here at central state hospital — over 300 of them — and it's important to remember that this is still an active hospital. it's very disrespectful to them and to their treatment to try to come out here and either break into the buildings or quote unquote "hunt for ghosts". beyond the working hospital, most of the estate is now
7:54 am
in disrepair and in recent years, dark tourism has attracted an influx of urban explorers keen to record milledgeville�*s sinister legacy. but structural damage and reports of decades—old asbestos mean that the interiors of most of the buildings are officially off—limits. roofs have caved in, windows have been boarded up and staircases have collapsed. but perhaps more powerful than the actual buildings are the thousands of graves of former patients — a chilling reminder that many people entered milledgeville but never left. so when you look at the stakes here, they all do have numbers on them and it's sort of a misnomer that we don't know who they all are. we do know every person is who's buried here — the numbers were for privacy purposes. many locals have relatives who either worked at the hospital or were admitted there.
7:55 am
for some, not enough is being done to honour their memory. i feel sorry for my great—grandmother — she was in the building right there. if i can't relive and memorialise her and what she did here, at least you could memorialise where she stayed and the hospital that she spent her entire life in. over the years, racism, sexism and what is now viewed as a rudimentary, if not brutal, approach to treating patients with mental health issues meant that by the 1960s, the hospital's population had swollen to over 12,000 patients. so my great—grandfather sent his wife, betty stubbs, to central state, and i'm of the opinion that she had post—partum syndrome and had to live here for almost 30 years, either pretending that she was not normal so that she could cope, orjust living in a fog. 1899.
7:56 am
1904. these are the original trustee reports. 1950, there were 10,000 patients here. sadly, a lack of staff and resources meant conditions declined rapidly and the asylum became notorious for its mistreatment of those admitted. so this was for a lobotomy — doctor fisher's lobotomy picks. they went into the eye — orbital socket of the eye and deadened the front part of the brain. but it was real brutal, it really — i think it hurt more than it helped. we've come a long way since then and kari hopes a new museum will remind people how different our approach to mental health is today. with fields like psychiatry and psychology, as we learn more, we know more, we can do more. as we start to understand the brain chemistry and sort of the human anatomy, we can better help people
7:57 am
and help them live successfully, so it's important to remember the history of where we came from and how we've continued to grow as a society and in the medical profession. local authorities now run a tour for those curious about the hospital's dark past. central state hospital is georgia's oldest and largest state psychiatric hospital. i think our tour fills a gap for local residents in milledgeville because the hospital has been something that has been here for a long, long time. i find that people often have a sense in their own mind of what they think it was like but when they come, it's an opportunity for them to really learn about the size, the scope and the humanity involved in the hospital campus. well, i think history is important because if you don't know where you came from, you're not going to know where you go in the future, and it's extremely important for the people who worked here, for the family members that were patients here and for researchers in the future to know what went on here.
7:58 am
the people i've met today have driven home the importance of remembering the patients who lived here and the thousands who died. acknowledging them and what happened is uncomfortable but to me, it feels like the right thing to do. well, that's all for this week but coming up next week — we're in argentina, exploring a haunting city submerged beneath a lake for 30 years that's now slowly re—emerging into the sunshine. imagine living in these houses and all of a sudden, the water is slowly starting to creep up. ten metres! this place is wild! and remember, you can join our adventures by following us on social media — we are on all the regular platforms. and we've got quite a library of inspirational content to inspire you when we can all travel again.
7:59 am
from me, mike corey, and the rest of the travel show team here in kenya, it's goodbye.
8:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and sally nugent. our headlines today: emma raducanu, the unseeded teenagerfrom bromley, storms to victory in the us open — rewriting the history books and winning the hearts of tennis fans everywhere. i've got no idea what's going on, not at all. i've got no clue. but anything that comes my way, i'm ready to deal with it and i'm got great people around me to take me through these moments and they got me here and i'm very excited to celebrate with them later and also go home and see everyone back home. a plan to deal with a winter covid crisis in the nhs will be set out on tuesday — measures like mask
8:01 am
wearing and home working are under discussion. the 40th great north run gets under way here in newcastle later — nearly 60,000 people will take part in the world's biggest half marathon — i'll be meeting some of them. good morning. for many of us, a decent day of weather coming up today. there will be some cloud, also bright and sunny spells and a lot of dry weather. however in wales it is a different story. here the cloud will thicken later on and we do have some afternoon rain on the way. i'll have your full weather forecast later on. it's sunday the 12th of september. our top story. the 18—year—old british tennis superstar emma raducanu has won the us open after a stunning performance in new york. the teenager from bromley made history by beating 19—year—old leylah fernandez in two sets. it means raducanu is the first british woman to win a grand slam
8:02 am
title in 44 years and has been congratulated by the queen amongst others for her success. joe wilson has more. the borough of queens, and the extraordinary progress of one young woman. she's been absolutely amazing this whole tournament. she has a lot of energy. she is so composed and ruthless. she's going to smash it. you know who they're talking about. announcer: emma raducanu! well, there were two teenagers in the us open final, canadian leylah fernandez at the top of the screen, as early as the second game we saw intense rallies and we saw emma raducanu prevailing here. both players settled immediately to display a full range of their abilities. points were hard—earned, skilfully won. nerves — no sign. two things were clear. we had a final worthy of the occasion and raducanu had the first set, 6—4. she was broken early in the second set, broke back like that.
8:03 am
now fernandez was struggling to hold her serve. did you see this shot coming? oh, my god! did we see any of this coming? 44 years of waiting, one hour 51 on court, and one more serve. it is right to realise what this means for british tennis, but also for world tennis. it was an outstanding match, an astounding champion. really, it's yours — it's all yours. it's an absolute dream. like, you just have visions of yourself, you know, going up to the box, hugging everyone, i mean, celebrating. that's something that you always think of and you always work for, and for that moment to actually happen, erm, yeah, i'm just so grateful for my team that are here with me and the team that are back home and the lta and every single person who's supported me
8:04 am
along this journey. these images will be the posters and the posts displayed for decades. if the point of sport is to uplift and amaze, emma raducanu is already at the pinnacle. joe wilson, bbc news. emma's historic achievement has been acknowledged by royalty, with the queen sending her congratulations, saying in a statement: "it is a remarkable achievement at such a young age, and is testament to your hard work and dedication." the statement goes on... "i have no doubt your outstanding performance, and that of your opponent leylah fernandez, will inspire the next generation of tennis players." the duke and duchess of cambridge tweeted: 'huge congratulations emma raducanu on your stunning performances and historic grand slam victory. we are all so proud of you.�* the prime minister tweeted: "what a sensational match! huge congratulations
8:05 am

8:06 am
about how to tackle those in the coming months. first we can expect an update on the government we vaccines and who is eligible for covid vaccines and that will be following advice from the jvci which we expect on monday and it is expected the elderly will be prioritised first stop the government will also be exploring what contingency measures may be needed over the winter if at any point the nhs is at risk of being overwhelmed. behavioural things like the use of face coverings, possibly working from home and social distancing measures but government sources are keen to stress they are not considering for the lockdown is in england. the prime minister will also talk a bit about the fact that coronavirus act, the emergency law introduced to give ministers the powers to tackle covid are being repealed like the poster closed
8:07 am
businesses and close schools but we understand things will be kept like the ability to give people sick pay on day one of self isolation rather than day seven. a couple of new announcements due from the prime minister in england on tuesday. it will be interesting to watch the tone he strikes with all of this that may be a little bit different from last year. he will be keen to stress these are measures which will allow people to allow people to live with coronavirus as we go into the winter months ahead. a day of events has taken place in the united states to mark the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. two huge pillars of light — representing the twin towers that were brought down by hijacked planes — filled the night sky in new york and president biden and the first lady took part in a wreath—laying ceremony at the pentagon. the trades union group, the tuc, has warned that up to 660,000 jobs could be at risk, if the uk fails to reach net zero carbon emissions as quickly as other countries. ministers have pledged to cut
8:08 am
carbon emissions by almost 80% by 2035. but the tuc fears that many roles could be moved elsewhere. our business correspondent katie prescott reports. making steel is a dirty business. and in 30 years' time, this has to change. but what will it mean for heavy industrialjobs like these, in blast furnaces in south wales? workers fear they could be laid off unless businesses get more support to make them greener ahead of the uk's legally binding commitment to stop adding to climate change. as this year's trade union congress gets under way in london, protecting these jobs is a major talking point. unions say they want to see a plan in place from the government to help companies adapt to the green future.
8:09 am
we are focusing on heavy carbon industries like the steel industry, for example, where we know there are new low carbon ways to do business and we know businesses are going to have to adapt. but what is going to happen is that companies are going to think about locating in countries where they get support from the government to make those adaptations to invest in the new technology, to think about how you produce those carbon heavy goods in a low carbon way, and that is why the uk government needs to step up so that our businesses can compete. there's no doubt that industry will have to undergo a green revolution, and that will inevitably have an impact on job. just how severe that impact will be will depend on how it is planned and of course how it is paid for, at a time when there are already so many demands on the public purse. the government says the tuc�*s claims are untrue, saying the uk has grown its economy by 78% while cutting emissions by 44% over the past three decades. and it launched an independent task force to develop plans for good quality green jobs by 2030. in a rare moment of unity this weekend, employers group
8:10 am
the cbi backs unions, saying that speed is of the essence when it comes to going green. more information on the government's net zero strategy will be launched ahead of cop 26, the major climate change conference at the end of october. katie prescott, bbc news maria mendiola — who sang the disco anthem yes sir, i can boogie has died at the age of 69. maria was one half of the spanish duo baccara — she's the one in white here — along with bandmate mayte mateos. the song was a huge hit in 1977 and it entered the uk chart again last year after being adopted by the scotland football team and supporters — much to maria's delight at the time.

emma has not only won the us open, but she's gained a huge following of dedicated fans across the uk. sanchia berg was watching last night's match with some of them at her old tennis club in bromley. from the outset, there were more cheers and whoops than worried pauses. in the club where emma raducanu first played tennis, in wimbledon, and in clubs across the country. harry bushnell, her very first tennis coach, went from anxiety to joy in the final seconds. when emma hurt her knee and went back out, he said he saw the little girl he had known. that reminded me of when she fell over on clay—court a, when i was teaching her how to slide once, and her dad just told her to get
8:14 am
up and get on with it. kate is being coached by harry now. she has met emma, and wants to bejust like her. i'm really happy that she won because she's an amazing person and she hits the ball really well and when i'm older i want to be like her. many people told you they hoped she would win, but they were speechless when she actually did. they are hoping that she won't forget them, shall still keep coming to club where she learned. i am sore and hoarse from screaming, but it is so incredible. i'm so happy for her. it is an exciting time for british tennis, to see one of our home—grown juniors come through the ranks, go through the lca pathway ——lta and get to a grand slam champion, it is amazing. it shows the persistent works. here and across the country, emma raducanu has given a tremendous boost to tennis, and especially to girls playing the game. sanchia berg, bbc news. let's talk more about emma raducanu's stunning achievement with british tennis player naomi broady,

8:24 am
60,000 runners are set to pound the streets of newcastle once again when the 40th great north run gets under way later today. the event was cancelled last year because of the pandemic, but this year's half—marathon route has been re—designed to ensure it's as safe as possible. alison freeman is there for us this morning. good morning. things are really starting to come to life here in newcastle. it will be different from previous years. last year was cancelled due to the pandemic and this year the route is different for one year only. it will start and end in newcastle. we will not see a throng of 60,000 runners starting at once but will be sent off at different times during the morning in different ways.
8:25 am
he is part of an elite club. john gray is one ofjust 89 people who have taken part in every single great north run since it began in 1981. but in 2019, a heart attack nearly put a stop to more thanjust his running career. while training in his county durham village, he collapsed. fortunately, another villager quickly came to his aid. so he knew how to do cpr so they bring the ambulance straightaway and he said to the ambulance, he says there's no pulse, there is nothing, shall i stop? and the ambulance man said no, wait until we get there. so it was really lucky, i mean, where i went down and the fact that they called in to see him. otherwise i wouldn't, wouldn't be alive now. that was in may but by september, john managed to keep up his uninterrupted participation
8:26 am
in the event by walking the route. last year, he was able to run in the virtual race and he is delighted he can take part in the official 40th race this year. i was in a coma for about two days, two or three days in an induced coma and when i came out, the first thing my wife said, that is the end of your running, john! and the doctor said no, it isn't! the only reason he is alive today is because he runs. it was two years ago that mike got into running to lose weight. after the dad of six from hull lost five stone, he decided running alone wasn't enough to put on the hefty suit of armour
8:27 am
he used for re—enactments. i was having impression of knights protecting the innocence and doing the right thing and children are like that, looking after children and their families and i thought what a great way of supporting them, by running in knights armour. people would say they it hard to run a half marathon anyway. what makes you so determined to do it with this added difficulty? things in life are never easy and i want to prove to my children and everyone else that if you put your mind to something, no matter how difficult and how hard things are in life you can still get through it. if you just believe in yourself and push forward. kate walsh from sunderland runs the great north run 20 times. it will be her running partner sharon james's first time though. training helped them through lockdown. we are good friends but we were not able to see each other socially so going out for a run together was a way that we could actually get together and have a chat and catch up and all that. she won the virtual run last year with a number of other nurses from the north—east for a children's heart charity. she thinks this year's return
8:28 am
of the gnr will be invaluable. we have not been getting the same income, the say funds raised at all last year but we have been using those charities in the same way to give something back and to start raising the profile again of the charities is so important. there's no doubt the great north run has had a huge impact on the lives of those who benefit the money raised and those who take part. likejohn. so what does the great north run mean to you? it means my running career! it probably means my life! you know, to take it to extremes, it was great north run that started me off running. yeah. it means everything, really! just some of the personal stories behind the people taking part and we have managed to grab a few more people to find out what is behind it. all four viewer wrong don't you? we do. we ran for the london marathon and this is our second great north run we ran it two years

and then it picks up on bbc one from ten o'clock, as well as on the bbc sport website and app. let's get the latest technology news this week with click. hey, welcome to click. let me hit you straightaway with a buzzword that you might have heard being thrown around recently. lara, are you ready for a buzzword? always ready. ok: the metaverse. what do you think of the idea? ah, mark zuckerberg's vision that it won't be long before we're all working, playing and living in this whole virtual universe. it reminds me of second life from about 15 years ago, remember that? yeah, i do, i do. this was an early realisation of the sci—fi idea that's been around for as long as i can remember.
8:33 am
but the tech wasn't up to it then. it wasn't, but of course things have moved along. we look a lot better online and we used to, i have to say. i guess it balances out the ageing bit. but the last 18 months have felt a bit like living in a virtual world, so i got mixed feelings about this — because is this actually the last thing people want right now? or could it potentially help with some of the isolation and other challenges? well, zuckerberg certainly seems to think we're ready. he's now talking about facebook "evolving" from a social media company into a metaverse company, which begs the question — what are you on about, mark? well, here with metaverse 101, marc cieslak invites you to enrol in click�*s metaversity. the metaverse has been described as what comes after the internet. in its simplest terms, it's a social hub where users can interact with one another as avatars across a host of digital worlds. is any of this starting
8:34 am
to sound familiar? a lot of companies are talking about creating a metaverse, in that they want to become a platform where people can exist at all times. they want to create social spaces where people can come and hang out with their friends, they can watch movies, they can do everything that they were doing in their normal life but within that platform. almost like the movie ready player one, in a way. this is the oasis. it's a place where the limits of reality are your own imagination. steven spielberg's 2018 movie adaptation of ernest klein's novel of the same name tells the tale of a downtrodden teen hero who escapes the dystopian sprawl of a near—future america by spending as much time as possible online in a multiplayer virtual world — a place which mashes up characters and pop culture themes from movies, comics and games. it was another sci—fi novel that coined the phrase metaverse,
8:35 am
though — neal stephenson's 1992 book snow crash, which also has a hero who's got a crummy live, who escapes into a virtual world, the metaverse. hollywood—style vr does sort of exist today, championed by an australian outfit cold zero latency. the closest that we have to free roaming vr is this spatial virtual reality set—up from a company called meatspace vr. i have a backpack here which contains a computer, a vr headset, and this rifle, which has controllers in it. the headset looks for markers on the floor to figure out where it is in three—dimensional space. here, i'm solving puzzles in a mindbending aztec temple in an experience called engineerium. i don't have any sensation that the floor is moving, but my brain kind
8:36 am
of thinks that it is. i can sample shooting stuff in the vr version of blockbuster action franchise far cry. that was intense! with the headset and headphones on, i am completely immersed in these virtual experiences. part of the reason we're hearing so much about the metaverse is because technology like this now exists. richard bartle was there at the very dawn of multiplayer experiences in 1978. he was one of the brains behind the world's first multiplayer virtual world, the text adventure multi user dungeon, or mud. now a professor of computer game design at university of essex, bartles believes there's a specific set of rules which define the idea of the metaverse. ok, so, the metaverse is essentially a marketing concept. we have universes which are
8:37 am
self—contained realities, then we have multiverses, which are realities that you can move between, so they're effectively the same reality. and then we have a metaverse, which is all one reality, but it has got a whole bunch of other ones interconnected. so as an example, something like world of warcraft is a universe, you can't take anything into or out of world of warcraft, it's self—contained. something like roblox, or row—blox, however you want to pronounce it, is a multiverse. your character, you can move from one interior world to another interior world. the metaverse, however, means that you can move from one universe to another universe. so you can in theory have a character in a metaverse which will move from world of warcraft to eve online to final fantasy xiv. um, that's the theory.
8:38 am
whether it will work in practice is another matter. games give us a glimpse of what a potential metaverse might look like, but there's a bigger question driving the recent interest in this idea, and that is who or what will have control over the platform. imagine back in the day when we had the internet, there were companies vying to be the internet. there were about five of them in america. they were information providers, they called themselves. ultimately it didn't work. they had to accept that the internet was a standalone platform for communicating. but the metaverse, that's another thing entirely, because if you control the platform, then you control all that goes on within it. so if everybody did pile into roblox and they did all build all their worlds in roblox, then roblox would own the metaverse. fortunes rise and fall in the world of technology. companies taking those first steps
8:39 am
down a long road to creating the metaverse might not even be around when and if the idea becomes a reality. come on, where are you at? these are the first facebook glasses, a partnership with the luxury eyewear brand ray—ban. it's no secret that facebook has been working on augmented reality glasses that can project images into your eyes, and these glasses... do none of that. record scratch. these are basicallyjust a pair of glasses with cameras on them. they're actually very similar to the snapchat spectacles that were released in 2016, although every time i mentioned that to facebook, they insisted this is a very different product. to use them, you press the button to take a video, press and hold to take a photograph, and you can also use voice commands like "hey, facebook, take a video."
8:40 am
there are also some built—in speakers so you can use them to listen to music or make phone calls, although when i tried that on the noisy high street, they were nowhere near loud enough to be remotely useful. so i'm going to focus on the cameras. now, the idea behind these is that you can leave your phone in your bag but still have a way to capture little moments hands—free as and when they arise. and i quite like that as a concept. so taking it at face value, i tried them out over the weekend. i met up with some friends, i went to a concert, i took loads of footage. and then when i came to download it to my phone, the glasses had corrupted, and all the footage was lost. so you're not getting any of that. instead, here's my last—minute backup option of meeting a friend for coffee in the park. the specs record these square videos and nothing is automatically posted to facebook or livestreamed. instead, you download the clips at the end of the day and you can post them wherever you like. facebook says one use case is if you have children, and i can see that being useful because you can put your phone away
8:41 am
but still capture some nice moments. i took this video of a dog taking a swim and i think the footage looks pretty good. here's the same moment captured on my smartphone. i think the smartphone version looks better. lots of people have questions about privacy, and i can see why they've branded these ray—ban stories rather than facebook glasses or insta specs. ultimately, if somebody�*s inclined to take hidden footage in a changing room, they can do that with a phone already, they don't need to spend $300 on a pair of glasses. but even so, i thought they might be a bit more obvious when recording video, because they do just look like an ordinary pair of ray—bans. there is an led that lights up when you're recording, but maybe it's too subtle. my housemate thought it was just a reflection on the glasses. it could have been a red flashing recording light. and in comparison, the snapchat specs were a lot more obvious when recording. so i called facebook�*s head of ar and vr, andrew bosworth, to ask him about privacy. i mean, i think to some degree we deal with this today. you've got mobile phones that people have out there that all have cameras on them, and so there is a degree to which our goal was to be,
8:42 am
you know, at least more overt than what people are doing today with their phones. so i think there's a lot more opportunities really for bystanders to know. and this wasn't something we left to chance. we knew this was one of the most important things get right. there's been a lot of talk about facebook bringing out full augmented reality glasses with the display in them. is this just a sort of stopgap to get people used to the idea of everybody wearing camera glasses? we really want to have a conversation, a dialogue, with consumers around the world, on, yeah — what are the standards and expectations they have for the types of computers we're going to wear in the future? and this is really our first foray into putting something on somebody�*s face. and we're really excited about it and seeing how people react to it. i think it's a great product, i've been using it myself, but it's the first in a series of products that give people more functionality and more capability through a pair of glasses.
8:43 am
that was chris talking to boz at facebook. how weird. i really was expecting those glasses to be augmented reality glasses, weren't you? yes, it's not like the technology doesn't exist. there's even those smart swimming goggles where you get your data in real—time underwater. i know, right? so maybe the tech just isn't quite compact enough for real glasses just yet. i tell you what, though, in the full—length version of this week's programme you can see something that's even more sci—fi than the metaverse and augmented reality. go and watch it on iplayer right now. that's it from the short version. throughout the week, you can keep up with us on social media, find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter @bbcclick. thanks for watching, and we'll see you soon. bye— bye.
8:44 am
it is coming up to 8:44am, it is coming up to 8:1i4am,we've been talking this morning about the incredible achievements of emma raducanu, who won the us open overnight, it wasjust raducanu, who won the us open overnight, it was just fabulous. her success is not the only british success at flushing meadows, we've got some other winners to round up. that magical moment of everyone singing sweet caroline and emma raducanu singing along but there were other moments for british fans to sing along to it yesterday. gordon reid and alfie hewett have become the first men to win all four wheelchair slam double titles in the same year, they beat gustavo fernandez and shingo kunieda 6—2 6—1 in the us open final. and hewett will aim to win the singles title when he faces kunieda again today in a repeat
8:45 am
of last year's final. and that's not it for the hitoric achievements becausejoe salisbury has become the first briton to win two doubles titles at a grand slam in the open era — after winning the mixed doubles title at the us open, a day after winning the men's doubles. salisbury and american partner desirae krawczyk beat mexico's giuliana olmos and el salvador�*s marcelo arevalo 7—5 6—2 at flushing meadows. cristiano ronaldo made a stunning return to manchester united, scoring twice in their 4—1 premier league win over newcastle. the 36—year—old found the net either side of half—time at old trafford. bruno fernandez and jesse lingard were also on target for united who are top of the table this morning. there were also wins for manchester city and chelsea and a first victory of the season for arsenal. in the scottish premiership, celtic eased to victory as they thrashed ross county 3—0. but they're still three points behind rivals and league leaders rangers. they came from behind to behind to beat stjohnstone. james tavernier with a stunning winner. elsewhere, motherwell beat aberdeen
8:46 am
2—0 and there were goalless draws between dundee and livingston and between st mirren and dundee united. lewis hamilton will need some luck on his side if he's not to slip further behind max verstappen in the formula one drivers' championship at today's italian grand prix. the world champion made a poor start to yesterday's sprint qualifying race and ended up finishing fifth. his mercedes team mate valtteri bottas won, but second placed verstappen gets to start on pole after bottas was given a grid penalty. hamilton will start from fourth. i'm not sure novak djokovic will be singing sweet caroline, but it could be a massive night for him if he wins the us open final, that would be his 21st title. it's time to say goodbye to roger now — you're off to read the news for andrew marr. it's been nice to see you this morning, thank you very much for watching. i will be reading the news and andrew marr. but let's go to chris right now. beautiful start to
8:47 am
the day in some places. beautiful sunrise picture sent in early this morning. this was north yorkshire, stunning sunrise. further south, a lovely start to the date, this picture sent by alison and through to date most of us will have bright conditions with some sunny spells however it will not be like that everywhere, in wales where outbreaks of rain, turning wet particularly at this afternoon, some of that might affect northern england as well. the jet stream powering this area of low pressure thatis powering this area of low pressure that is down towards spain and portugal but the jet is close enough to develop this weather frontjust to develop this weather frontjust to the south of the republic of ireland and that is bringing the rain to wales. it started to arrive right now in snowdonia and becoming extensive through today. that will also affect northern england,
8:48 am
manchester and merseyside turning damp, rainfor manchester and merseyside turning damp, rain for north west midlands and some will probably cross the pennines into areas of yorkshire such as sheffield. some showers for north—east scotland, otherwise dry and bright for north—east areas of the uk but cooler than recent days. further south, some sunny spells and relatively warm. overnight, the rain continues to affect wales, midlands, western england, some mist and fog patches over the hills, scotland and northern ireland, clearer skies but tonic much colder than recently, countryside temperatures in north—east scotland reaching 3—4 c. so filling autumnal to stop monday morning. plenty of sunshine and the far north of england having a fine start to. rain still affecting wales, turning patch or through the day, perhaps working into northern
8:49 am
ireland but eastern england and scotland will have the best of the sunshine. temperatures between 17-21 c. that is sunshine. temperatures between 17—21 c. that is how the weather is looking. thank you for your company this morning, chris, it's been great to see you. the uk's first purpose—built dedicated child bereavement centre has opened at the alder hey hospital in liverpool. it will providing grief counselling for anyone affected by the death of a child — no matter how recent or long ago. it's being funded by the hospital's charity and its dedicated fundraisers. katie walderman reports. jess made her baby sister a promise before she died, that she would help other poorly children and their families. she was just six when georgia died at alder hey at the five days old. i had been wanting a baby sister and she was so special to me and i think it was so special as well because she opened her eyes to me, and i was the only one
8:50 am
that she opened her eyes to. i thought it was magical because she had the same colour eyes as me, it was just really special. since then she has taken on a number of challenges to raise £26,000 for the hospital that supported her and herfamily through their grief. you were so little when georgie passed away, what do you remember about her? ijust remember all the good times. they were doing footprints with her and she sort of like, shivered a bit because the paintbrush was tickling her. that was quite cool. there was a nurse that came up to me and braided my hair every morning, and it was magical, really. it was a hard enough concept for us as parents to grasp, that this beautiful little thing was no longer hear any more, but forjess, who was six years old at the time, it was a huge thing for her to have to take on board. you couldn't put a price on the care and compassion that she received and we ourselves received. today she is back at alder hey with her mum emma to see the brand—new dedicated bereavement centre their fundraising has helped to build.
8:51 am
when we were told a couple of years ago that some of her fundraising was going towards this amazing new facility, we were so proud and so thankful that we are able to help other families in our situation. the new alder centre is based here in the grounds of the main hospital and will provide the bereavement support and grief counselling to anyone affected by the loss of a child, no matter how recent or long ago the loss may be. we are the only hospital in the uk, possibly the world, to provide a 24—hour on—call service, 365 days a year, which means we can be with the family within an hour of a child's death. which is so important, that they get that specialist bereavement care right in the midst of that ultimate grief, and we are there to help them start navigating that loss. someone who knows just how
8:52 am
devastating that loss is is former mp antoinette sandbach. she was supported by the alder centre after losing her son. so i had a lovely baby boy, sam, born in 2009, and five days after his birth, he passed away. and i woke up, really, to find him dead. and i had to do mouth—to—mouth resuscitation and he didn't survive. since then, she's been campaigning for more specialist bereavement centres like this and also helped to secure £1 million of funding to see it built. it gives free bereavement counselling to any family that can get there. so they get referrals not just from liverpool but across the whole of the north—west. forjess and emma, officially opening the centre is another proud
8:53 am
moment in their pledge to keep georgie's memory alive. what a legacy for little georgie. absolutely. she is definitely shining down on us. we'rejoined by fiona berry from the alder centre, and chris lamb who has been receiving support since his son elliott died. good morning to you both. i cannot imagine how difficult it is to come here and sit on a sofa and talk about something so deeply personal and difficult but i know that you are being helped by the people at alder hey. tell me what happened to you. alder hey. tell me what happened to ou. . , alder hey. tell me what happened to ou, ., , alder hey. tell me what happened to ou. ., , ,., ., you. elite was born with an illness that uuite you. elite was born with an illness that quite a _ you. elite was born with an illness that quite a lot _ you. elite was born with an illness that quite a lot of _ you. elite was born with an illness that quite a lot of people - you. elite was born with an illness that quite a lot of people have i you. elite was born with an illnessi that quite a lot of people have but if you _ that quite a lot of people have but if you get — that quite a lot of people have but if you get it when you're pregnant it can _ if you get it when you're pregnant it can cause — if you get it when you're pregnant it can cause problems for the child and ill— it can cause problems for the child and ill it _ it can cause problems for the child and ill it was severely disabled, so we always— and ill it was severely disabled, so we always knew we would not have

realise there are new days and new way is coming. fiona, your work at the centre, how important is it that parents have someone like this? i think you've just heard from chris it is vitally important. it can help people in their darkest days and we do not want anybody to grieve alone, and we want people to know that they don't have to grieve alone and there are services like ours at the alder centre that can help. chris explained there that the bereavement team were there right from the beginning and we are the only hospital in the uk, possibly the world, to offer a 24—hour on—call service, meaning a specialist bereavement care worker is with a family after their child dies within one hour. that first, those first few hours of navigating the loss —— what has just happened, having that
