tv Breakfast BBC News September 13, 2021 6:00am-9:01am BST
6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today. from a little known qualifier to global sensation. what next for us open champion emma raducanu ahead of her return to the uk? she is the first british woman to win a singles title at a major for 44 years. the last winner was virginia wade and she told me how she couldn't wait to find her and give her a hug after the match. i'm just so thrilled that somebody as good as emma has come along and taken the world by absolute storm, and just been brilliant. the government's strategy to tackle coronavirus over the autumn
6:01 am
and winter is being finalised. we'll get the details tomorrow. we're not well enough prepared for economic shocks. that's the warning that will later come from the head of the uk's biggest trade union. frances o'grady is calling on government to increase waged, and make a form of furlough permanent. wages, and make a form of furlough permanent. i'll talk to her before seven. plenty of cloud around, a little bit of rain in the west but into tomorrow, england and wales looking a good deal wetter. details and your weather for the week ahead here on breakfast. it's monday september 13th. our top story. teenage tennis star emma raducanu says she's ready for anything and can cope with her rise to stardom after winning the us open. the 18—year—old is expected to do a round of interviews today with american television networks and is predicted to become one of the sport's biggest earners. our correspondent james reynolds has more. just a warning, his report
6:02 am
contains flash photography. some new eras are born slowly but others start all in one go. emma raducanu comes away from the us open with a trophy, a £1.8 million cheque, and a message of congratulations from the queen. 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've got great people around me to take me through these moments and they got me here, and, yeah, i'm very excited to celebrate with them later and also go home and to see everyone back home. now we rest, recover, and then we go again. that's what we do. she's given uk customs fair warning of the kind of silverware she'll have to declare on her return home. where she might find herself doing more of this. this summer, she was photographed by vogue magazine.
6:03 am
she'd just come out of wimbledon and was just a ray of sunshine, really, and incredibly confident, very poised, it really felt like nothing could really faze her. speaks mandarin. after her victory in new york, emma raducanu greeted fans in mandarin. raising her profile in her mother's country of origin. but fame doesn't win matches. oh, my god! so, how far can her tennis skills take her? champions do look like they belong from the get go, right? they're not overwhelmed by the occasion. when they have a big win, they follow it up the next day because they're not done. they're just getting started. so they always look like they belong. but she took it to a whole new level, again, with her emotions and her poise. she's got a long way to go, she's just getting started. so hold your horses, hall of famer, of course, and the only question is how many majors will she win.
6:04 am
she'll be number one in the world, most likely. for now, though, emma raducanu will have to settle with being world number 23. a summit to the very top comes in stages. james reynolds, bbc news. at 6.30am, sally has an interview with virginia wade who was in new york for the final. she's of course the last british player to win a women's single title at a major 44 years ago. the prime minister is finalising the government's strategy for tackling coronavirus in england over the autumn and winter months ahead of a press conference tomorrow. a decision on boosterjabs is imminent and borisjohnson will also announce he's repealing some emergency covid powers. our political correspondent chris mason reports. nearly 90% of those of us aged over 16 the uk have now had a first dose of covid vaccine.
6:05 am
and 80% of us have had both jabs. the prime minister will say this is what has allowed so much of a normal life to return, and so soon it will be time for older people to get a third jab. borisjohnson will also announce plans to get rid of any covid related powers the government no longer needs, but to keep others. the legal authority via the coronavirus act to close schools and some businesses in england will be ditched, but other elements of the coronavirus act will be kept such as the requirement to self—isolate having testing positive, and the provision of sick pay from day one to those self—isolating. final decisions await on making it easier to travel abroad, and vaccinating healthy 12 to 15—year—olds. it's a delicate balancing act for ministers to try and strike here. health secretary sajid javid
6:06 am
acknowledging that covid and other viruses "like autumn and winter," as he put it. cases could go up. and the nhs is already under significant pressure. chris mason, bbc news. we can speak to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. hejoins us live he joins us live from westminster, good morning. is the prime minister expected to urge caution?— expected to urge caution? yeah, i think they probably _ expected to urge caution? yeah, i think they probably will _ expected to urge caution? yeah, i think they probably will because l think they probably will because there is a combination of things which means that winter could be a worrying period. you have the delta variant of coronavirus which is much more infectious than other versions of it, you have the fact that flu will be circulating and we haven't had flu for a while because we have all been locked down. there's also some concerns about how effective the flu vaccine we'll be this year. then the combination of blue and covid, that all adds up to everyone having to still be very careful.
6:07 am
what we will get from the government this week is a winter plan where they will talk about their contingencies they will have on their back pocket in case the situation gets bad. we will probably have the idea that we might be told to do work from home again in a blanket way, and we might get tougher restrictions on when to wear masks or not. having said that, a few things seem to be disappearing. covid passport in england, injuly, the prime minister said that in september that he would make it mandatory to have a covid passport if you want to go to a nightclub or another big event, now it's not going to happen this month but it could still be kept in reserve for an emergency. it is completed because businesses are still allowed to ask you for covid passport, this is just about the stuff that the government can make mandatory in law. �* . . ~' government can make mandatory in law. ~ . ., ~ , government can make mandatory in law. . ., , . law. adam, thank you very much, we will seak law. adam, thank you very much, we will speak to — law. adam, thank you very much, we will speak to you _ law. adam, thank you very much, we will speak to you later _ law. adam, thank you very much, we will speak to you later on. _ the trial of a new blood test,
6:08 am
designed to detect more than 50 types of cancer before symptoms appear, begins today. more than 140,000 volunteers aged between 50 and 77 will be offered the tests, which work by spotting chemical changes in genetic code. researchers say if the trial is a success, it could mark the beginning of a revolution in cancer treatment. a us court will hold a pre—trial hearing today, in the civil case filed by a woman who claims the duke of york sexually assaulted her when she was 17. last week, lawyers for virginia giuffre claimed they had successfully served prince andrew with legal papers. a judge will decide if those papers were issued correctly. the duke of york has always strongly denied the accusations and says he has no recollection of meeting ms giuffre. north korea claims it has successfully tested a new long—range cruise missile, capable of hitting much ofjapan. these pictures have been released by the north korean state media, accompanying reports that two missiles were launched over the weekend, both travelling as far as 1,500 kilometres.
6:09 am
the us military said the test showed north korea's "threat to its neighbours and the international community". thousands of people have left their homes in southern spain, after wildfires broke out in the region of andalusia. one emergency worker has been killed in the blaze, which began on wednesday near a popular resort town on the costa del sol. over 7000 hectares of land have been burnt and the military has been deployed. there's a saying about cats having nine lives. let's have a look at this. there are plenty of good reasons to take a flag to a sports event. they come in handy if you need to catch a falling cat. this cat was dangling inside the hard rock stadium in miami during a college football game. it fell around 50 feet but a pair of quick—thinking fans used their american flag to catch it. the cat was unharmed but it's safe
6:10 am
to say it has probably used one of its nine lives. the crowd going wild. the spokesperson for the stadium released a statement later. i released a statement later. i thought you were going to say, the spokesperson for the cat said, what? thankfully the cat is safe and ok. you can imagine it could be scary for quite a few people.— for quite a few people. hopefully the cat has _ for quite a few people. hopefully the cat has been _ for quite a few people. hopefully the cat has been returned - for quite a few people. hopefully the cat has been returned to - for quite a few people. hopefully the cat has been returned to its. the cat has been returned to its owner! let's have a look at how the weather is in central london right now. what a beautiful sunrise. can you describe to us what kind of clouds they are? you probably know more than that!— more than that! something slightly more than that! something slightly more scientific, _ more than that! something slightly more scientific, please, _ more than that! something slightly more scientific, please, matthew! l they are technically known as lovely clouds. some cirrus cloud in the distance and some alto cumulus at the top. you will have a little bit
6:11 am
of sunshine peeking through those. north—eastern parts of england and scotland have sunshine but for most it is fairly cloudy, a grey start and in some western areas it will be and in some western areas it will be a bit on the wet side. the rain is at the moment in parts of cornwall and devon but sliding its way in across wales, heaviest in cambridge and carmarthenshire, that will push north and east. the odd splash of rain across north west england and the midlands but many other places will be dry, the rain is allowed but it will transfer northwards, it could get damp in eastern northern ireland and southern scotland. north and north—east scotland has the best of the sunshine, and sunshine in east anglia and the south—east. a few spots of rain developing through the day in western scotland, the odd heavy shower in the south, and a cloudy and damp and today in northern ireland. rain on and off in western england and wales, the
6:12 am
further east you will stay dry, and the highest temperatures around 22 degrees. this evening and overnight, more in the way of rain was not developed through england and wales, some heavier bursts working up from the south. that will keep the temperatures up, coolest when skies are closed in the north—east of scotland but wet weather tomorrow for england and wales. best of the driest and brightest weather this week on thursday. imight i might have checked this with you before, you might have told me this before, you might have told me this before, i am giving you information you told me, cirrus cloud, is that latin for hair, because it is wispy like hair? , latin for hair, because it is wispy like hair?- the _ latin for hair, because it is wispy like hair?- the internet i latin for hair, because it is wispy j like hair?- the internet is like hair? yes...? the internet is our like hair? yes...? the internet is your friend- _ like hair? yes...? the internet is yourfriend- i— like hair? yes...? the internet is your friend. i will— like hair? yes...? the internet is your friend. i will check. - like hair? yes...? the internet is your friend. i will check. you - like hair? yes...? the internet is| your friend. i will check. you keep talkina. your friend. i will check. you keep talking- it — your friend. i will check. you keep talking- it is _ your friend. i will check. you keep talking. it is made _ your friend. i will check. you keep talking. it is made up _ your friend. i will check. you keep talking. it is made up of _ your friend. i will check. you keep talking. it is made up of ice - talking. it is made up of ice crystals, cirrus cloud, up to where the aircraft fly.—

the aircraft fly. that is late to save! from clapping on the doorstep, to putting posters in our windows, doyou do you want to tell me? no, i haven't got _ do you want to tell me? no, i haven't got there _ do you want to tell me? no, i haven't got there yet. _ over the course of the pandemic, most of us have shown a sense of pride in our nhs. but a new survey also indicates a sense of disappointment and frustration in the service with one in five people saying they've been forced to go private. our home editor mark easton has more. covid has inspired a wave of love for the national health service. at the height of the pandemic, tens of millions of us stood on our doorstep to show our appreciation. a new poll suggests the nhs makes more than three quarters of people proud to be british. i was suicidal, i came out of that appointment and said to my partner, ijust, i want to die, i've had enough of this. is that because of the way the nhs treated you? yeah, yeah. dee, who lives in south wales, says
6:14 am
she loves the nhs but in the end, she spent her life savings on private care for her endometriosis because the national health service left her feeling dismissed, disrespected and desperate. i did not want to die, ijust wanted it to be better. i wanted it to stop. you just feel like nobody believes you and nobody is listening to you. there's thousands of women, across wales particularly, who could tell you the same story as i have. the idea of the nhs makes us proud but research by engage britain suggests our experience of it often disappoints us. in a poll, 28% of people said they'd had to fight to get the treatment they needed. over a quarter of people said they felt dismissed or not taken seriously, a figure that rises to 45% among young women. we really love the nhs. this is an institution that truly is valued across this country. but that is sitting, at the same time, with lots of us having really quite traumatic
6:15 am
experiences, things that we feel dismissed, we feel we have to fight to get care. literally tens of millions of people are experiencing things like that across the country. the question raised by the research is whether public affection for the model means inadequate attention is given to what the s stands for in nhs. it's just the time it takes, to get everything you need, and being on hold for hours, just to get a simple question answered, or waiting for five or six months just to get a chat with a physiotherapist. and it's just really frustrating. floss, who comes from leicestershire, was born with cerebral palsy and has been getting treatment from the nhs since she was a child. but her feelings about the service changed when she reached adulthood. when i got to the age of 18, they said, you're an adult now, so unless you need anything
6:16 am
constantly, we are going to write you off our books. an extraordinary one in four people in today's poll say the wait for nhs treatment for themselves or a loved one has seriously damaged their mental health. and one in five people say they have been forced to go private because they couldn't get the nhs treatment they needed. britain is proud to have its nhs. it recognises the pressure and under and applauds their sacrifice. it recognises the pressure staff are under and applauds their sacrifice. but the evidence suggests that too many patients and their families feel they are lost in an institution that often doesn't have the time to listen. mark easton, bbc news. let's take a look at some of today's newspapers. the front and back pages are dominated by emma raducanu. the daily mail speculates that she's in line for career earnings of £150 million and a new year honour.
6:17 am
the guardian's back page has a close—up of emma kissing that us open trophy and a quote that she is "just loving life". the telegraph gives half of its front page to a photo of emma raducanu but its main story is a report that the prime minister is planning to "rip up" many covid restrictions and abolish the traffic light system for foreign travel. and "cancer test revolution" is the headline on the daily mirror as the paper reports on trials of a new blood test that is thought to be able to detect more than 50 cancers before symptoms appear. as you said, emma raducanu is everywhere. as you said, emma raducanu is everywhere-— as you said, emma raducanu is| everywhere-_ we as you said, emma raducanu is - everywhere._ we have everywhere. lovely pictures. we have talked about — everywhere. lovely pictures. we have talked about the _ everywhere. lovely pictures. we have talked about the money _ everywhere. lovely pictures. we have talked about the money she - everywhere. lovely pictures. we have talked about the money she could - talked about the money she could have a lot of people appreciating how hard it is to play with that level of abandon.— how hard it is to play with that. level of abandon.- and how hard it is to play with that - level of abandon.- and when level of abandon. panache. and when it is all on. — level of abandon. panache. and when it is all on, panache, _ level of abandon. panache. and when it is all on, panache, great _ level of abandon. panache. and when it is all on, panache, great word! - it is all on, panache, great word! when it is important and the final,

6:22 am
every time i spoke, or sang a nursery rhyme with the kids or read a story, i was like, this is the last time, not much longer. you know, three days, two days, one day before surgery. so it's so weird when you know that something is going to get taken away from you. when tanja first woke up she couldn't speak but she was fitted with a valve in her neck. when she presses it, it produces sound. when you heard your new voice for the first time, what did you think? i was absolutely horrified. i think i sounded like a tractor or something, it was just like this weird, low, guttural vibrating noise that came out. this is what i sound like this evening. i've just come downstairs from putting the kids to bed. i managed to get through an entire storybook. and for the next few months, she had chemo and radiotherapy while she relearned how to speak.
6:23 am
when i dream, i dream in my old voice, and i'm like, oh, i've got my old voice back. shall we see what it looks like on my neck? yeah. sticky. it's going to be sticky. tanja has always been open with her children. before the operation she prepared them for the changes, and sometimes her five—year—old son rudy still needs to talk about them. he said, "i miss your voice, mummy," and i'm like, yeah, i miss it too. and we went and sat on the sofa and had a cuddle and got a little bit, we were a bit sad, had a bit of a cry. and hejust said, "your voice was so lovely beautiful, mummy." i'm going to the party. going to the party? tanja used to love to sing on stage, around the house, and in the car. he's going to sleep, he's gone to sleep. not being able to sing happy birthday, you know, kind of regretting that.
6:24 am
but i'm like, why didn't i record myself singing happy birthday? and then i could play it for the kids on their birthdays. things like that, i think, that gets me almost more than the talking bit. and after 18 months, for the first time, she is back on stage. performing a duet all about herjourney. singing together. the soprano represents her old voice. it makes me really happy and it makes me really sad because obviously what comes out is not at all what used to come out. i miss my voice. i think i'll always miss it. you know, i can be ok with it and i can accept it, but there will always be an element of, you know, it's part
6:25 am

6:26 am
to potentially become britain's first billion—dollar sport star. after the 18—year—old from bromley won the us open at the weekend, mark borkowski — who's worked with michaeljackson and led zeppelin — said raducanu is a "billion—dollar girl", notjust for her tennis, but her background, ethnicity, and that she laughs the pressures away. a london law firm representing air travellers is taking the government to court over the uk's quarantine hotel policy. passengers must spend 11 nights in a quarantine hotel when returning from red list countries, even if they're fully vaccinated. if the action is successful, the government could be forced to refund fees of fully vaccinated passengers who still had to stay in a hotel. the boss of ryanair has warned holiday prices are likely to rise sharply next year, as demand for travel increases. michael o'leary has told a national newspaper that fewer flights, inflation and more taxes
6:27 am
would drive airfares up. he said with some airlines going out of business during the pandemic, it meant there would be fewer seats and choices available for passengers. ryanair will also cease all operations at london and southend. let's look at the travel and the tube board. there's a good service on the tubes this morning, apart from minor delays on the circle and metropolitan lines. on south eastern railways, a freight train has derailed at lee in south east london. the operator says disruption is expected for the rest of the day. they're asking commuters to delay their journey this morning if possible. there are also problems on thameslink trains. you can get the details on bbc radio london. onto the weather now with kate. good morning. it is a largely dry start this morning, with one or two brighter spells, glimpses of sunshine,
6:28 am
but the high pressure from the weekend is slipping away eastwards, introducing more cloud as the day continues. the cloud thick enough to want parts of west london and beyond. the odd spot of light rain and drizzle. elsewhere, it should stay largely dry in the east. temperatures staying reasonably warm despite the cloud, 21 celsius the maximum. into this evening and overnight, we may get one or two clearer spells to start with. that could introduce the mist and fogginess. but the cloud gradually thickening, low cloud. the minimum temperature still reaching 13 to 15 celsius. so it's still going to be mild. you notice towards the end of the night, down towards the south—west, that rain just starts to sink in as we head into tuesday morning. that rain is the first significant rain we've had for a while, as low pressure moves across the south of the uk. so, rather wet for parts of tuesday. it will gradually clear though overnight tuesday and into wednesday, after which much drier conditions. still a bit of cloud, but more sunny spells on thursday and friday. as a result, temperatures staying in the late 20s.

6:33 am
thrilled along with millions of people. when we were watching her at wimbledon, of course, i think everybody thought, how is she going to get past this moment where she struggled to maintain her composure? i don't think anyone watching at that point as an outsider would have thought she would recover quite so quickly and quite so dramatically? well, i don't think anybody thought this would ever happen quite as dramatically as it has, but, to be honest, i didn't think that was a big deal at wimbledon. in fact, as soon as i'd seen it, i mean, i was watching from here, so it was on television, ieee mild —— where i e—mailed nigel sears and said, it's not a big deal. she hit a stride of
6:34 am
the us open. in such great form. she has been able to put herself into a cocoon and isolate herself to a little extent because, with the pandemic, she was only allowed a very small team to travel with, not her parents, not all the lta people, not all the british media, press and television, everybody who would want a piece of her. and that is what happens at wimbledon for a british player. it was just that much more to deal with. player. it was 'ust that much more to deal with.— player. it was 'ust that much more to deal will.— player. it was 'ust that much more to deal with. yes, she has done it! a british victory _ to deal with. yes, she has done it! a british victory at _ to deal with. yes, she has done it! a british victory at last. _ to deal with. yes, she has done it! a british victory at last. as - to deal with. yes, she has done it! a british victory at last. as a - a british victory at last. as a woman who _ a british victory at last. as a woman who has _ a british victory at last. as a woman who has walked - a british victory at last. as a woman who has walked this | a british victory at last. is —. woman who has walked this path before her, what words of advice to you have for emma raducanu now? 1 you have for emma raducanu now? i think for or she needs to you have for emma raducanu now? 1 think for or she needs to understand just how good she really is, but you have to constantly work at that to maintain it. but she has to have
6:35 am
that self belief that she really is... if you believe you are better than the others, you are going to beat them. it might be hard but in the end you are generally going to win. so i think she understands that. i'm sure she does. i mean, she seems to really be very self—aware. and commercially, from that side, what would you say to her? she is going to have herface on what would you say to her? she is going to have her face on the cover of every magazine, isn't she? how does she handle that level of fame? that is probably the hardest thing these days, to handle that. she has got to have very good advice on that. just not do too much, not play too much. because you don't want to play too much when there is so much expectation on you, then you get stale or you lose your motivation. that is a balance that is difficult to get. you don't know until you... she hasn't played that many
6:36 am
tournaments. you don't know until you go further into this process. and then, as far as the attention and that, she has got to be protected because with every yes you say, there is quite a stressful commitment. so she's got to pick and choose. and boy, she can pick and choose. and boy, she can pick and choose the best of them.— choose the best of them. virginia, she has given _ choose the best of them. virginia, she has given us _ choose the best of them. virginia, she has given us all _ choose the best of them. virginia, she has given us all a _ choose the best of them. virginia, she has given us all a spring - choose the best of them. virginia, she has given us all a spring in - choose the best of them. virginia, j she has given us all a spring in our step, hasn't she? you she has given us all a spring in our step, hasn't she?— she has given us all a spring in our step, hasn't she? you are absolutely rilht. step, hasn't she? you are absolutely riht. it step, hasn't she? you are absolutely rilht. it is step, hasn't she? you are absolutely right- it isjust _ step, hasn't she? you are absolutely right. it is just what _ step, hasn't she? you are absolutely right. it is just what everybody - right. it is just what everybody needed. i mean, the day was very symbolic, 9/11, 2021. but you have a full stadium like that, cheering and drawing their heads off and clapping and loving it, and appreciating these two young players, and leylah fernandez, i mean, she is going to be around as well.— be around as well. virginia, brinllin be around as well. virginia, bringing to _ be around as well. virginia, bringing to talk _ be around as well. virginia, bringing to talk to - be around as well. virginia, bringing to talk to you. - be around as well. virginia, i bringing to talk to you. thank be around as well. virginia, - bringing to talk to you. thank you so much. and bobby. 1

6:38 am
but the match was overshadowed by a horrible injury to harvey elliot, whose ankle was dislocated. he will have surgery in the coming days we played a really good game. we played a really good game until harv had to go. our whole team was shocked in that moment. you could see we lost rhythm — that's clear, that's normal, human — but controlled the game anyway. so, we played a really good game, yeah. as good as you can play against leeds. hearts and hibernian blew the chance to reclaim top spot in the scottish premiership, with a 0—0 draw in the edinburgh derby. both goalkeepers pulled off fine saves as the sides maintained their unbeaten starts to the league season. women's super league champions chelsea beat everton 4—0 at kingsmeadow. goal of the game came from fran kirby, as chelsea bounced back from their opening day defeat to arsenal. tottenham came from behind to beat manchester city 2—1. angela addison scored the winner, although there was suspicion of handball in the build—up.
6:39 am
elsewhere, there were wins for arsenal, manchester united, and brighton max verstappen has been given a three place grid penalty for the next grand prix, after crashing into championship rival lewis hamilton at the italian grand prix. the pair collided at the first corner of the monza circuit as they battled to top the drivers' standings. the safety halo prevented any serious injury to hamilton and the drivers walked away. the race was won for mclaren by danielle ricciardo i made sure i left a car's width on the outside and i was ahead going into the corner. and the next thing i know, erm... ..i guess max went over the second kerb or something. he obviously knew at that point he wasn't going to make the corner and he drove into me. so, eh... ..and the next thing you know, he's just on top of me, so definitely unfortunate. as soon as i was next to him he kept

6:42 am
on the medal table behind china. last night, over 200 athletes across 19 sports were welcomed home with a special concert, to celebrate their achievements. our reporter matt graveling was there. higher, come on! i am so excited today. i think it's going to be absolutely phenomenal. i haven't actually seen my parents yet, so they're coming down to go to the arena with me. and i can't wait to see them. they haven't seen the medals yet. and it's just so exciting to be able to let our hair down and to celebrate as a team. to actually have the opportunity to come out here and celebrate, not only with our friends and family but with everybody else supporting us, it's actually awesome. yeah, it's a really good opportunity. move away from sort of like being in a bubble, being in a hotel room, just go and see people a little bit and just be almost normal again. paralympics gb did phenomenally well in tokyo, bagging 124 medals. so, they need a party. 7000 nice lucky national lottery players, as well as the athletes' friends and family, are now converging right here at wembley arena. my sleep pattern was absolutely all over the place, but i wouldn't have missed it.
6:43 am
and to be here today is an absolute privilege to thank the athletes. just to see them work through these past 18 months, for it to work so well and come home, i think it'sjust absolutely fabulous. there we go. we watched everything that they done and theyjust inspire us. just amazing. so we thought we'd come down and support them. but hang on a minute, these are elite athletes. surely they are on a strict diet? i think the second i crossed the line for my last race, i've definitely not been watching what i eat. i probably do have to now though, because the belly is starting to just grow outwards. just treat yourself. i've literally got two kilos of pick n mix at home that are waiting for me! so, yeah, the diet is totally gone out of the window! cheering. # so you want to be a boxer, want to be the champ...#. this homecoming event marked a day of returns, but notjust for the athletes. well, this is the first time we've performed as a band in, i don't even know, almost two years.
6:44 am
it's crazy. but it such an amazing honour and privilege to be invited. we were quite shocked. and, yeah, we arejust so excited to do it. today's arena was jumping, but in tokyo it was a different story. with fans forced to watch at home, social media videos sent the joy to japan. cheering. it'sjust so nice to see all the support, because when i was there i didn't realise the amount of support i was getting. so after the race i watched all of this and then, seeing andy get emotional, it kind of gave me a sense of pride to know they are all helping me and cheering me on as well. it's just, yeah, lovely to watch. while maisie picked up herfirst two golds, another athlete made history, claiming her 17th. the games were completely different to any games i'd been to, not least because i was there without any family and friends, and my parents are almost the founder members of the paralympics gb supporters' club. so it was a very different games, but i think it's coming home, celebrating these medals,
6:45 am
that have meant those memories will always be held high in my list of achievements. # welcome to the house of fun...# while dame sarah will now turn her attention to paris, for other paralympic stars today's event will also be a farewell party. i knew going into it it was going to be my last games. to have a paralympics homecoming is something so special. we also bring ourfriends, ourfamilies, our loved ones, to come for a party, because they missed out at the games. they couldn't go to tokyo. they couldn't be there to cheer us on. and to have a thing today where everyone comes, it's a whole celebration, it's so exciting. matt graveling, bbc news. a very well deserved party. it's lovely to see people out enjoying themselves. lovely to see people out en'oying lhemselveefi lovely to see people out en'oying themselves. . ., , ,., themselves. that has given me some ins-iration themselves. that has given me some inspiration for — themselves. that has given me some inspiration for your _ themselves. that has given me some inspiration for your leaving _

6:58 am
emma raducanu, has the talent to potentially become britain's first billion—dollar sport star. after the 18—year—old from bromley won the us open at the weekend, mark borkowski, who's worked with michaeljackson and led zeppelin, said raducanu is a "billion—dollar girl" notjust for her tennis but her background, ethnicity and that she laughs the pressures away. a london law firm representing air travellers is taking the government to court over the uk's quarantine hotel policy. passengers must spend 11 nights in a quarantine hotel when returning from red list countries, even if they're fully vaccinated. if the action is successful, the government could be forced to refund fees of fully vaccinated passengers who still had to stay in a hotel. the boss of ryanair has warned holiday prices are likely to rise sharply next year as demand for travel increases. michael o'leary has told a national newspaper that fewer flights, inflation and more taxes
6:59 am
would drive airfares up. he said with some airlines going out of business during the pandemic, it meant there would be fewer seats and choices available for passengers. ryanair will also cease all operations at london southend. let's look at the travel and the tubeboard. train cancellations are causing minor delays on the metropolitan lines. and the district and circle line is part suspended between embankment and barking. on south eastern railways, a freight train has derailed at lee in south east london. the operator says disruption is expected for the rest of the day. they're asking commuters to delay their journey this morning if possible. there are also delays on thameslink trains due to an earlier broken rail. onto the weather now with kate. good morning. it is a largely dry start this morning, with one or two brighter spells, glimpses of sunshine, but the high pressure
7:00 am
from the weekend is slipping away eastwards, introducing more cloud as the day continues. the cloud thick enough towards parts of west london and beyond. the odd spot of light rain and drizzle. elsewhere, it should stay largely dry in the east. temperatures staying reasonably warm despite the cloud, 21 celsius the maximum. into this evening and overnight, we may get one or two clearer spells to start with. that could introduce some mist and fogginess. but the cloud gradually thickening, low cloud. the minimum temperature still reaching 13 to 15 celsius. so it's still going to be mild. you notice towards the end of the night, down towards the south—west, that rain just starts to sink in as we head into tuesday morning. that rain is the first significant rain we've had for a while, as low pressure moves across the south of the uk. so, rather wet for parts of tuesday. it will gradually clear though overnight tuesday and into wednesday, after which much drier conditions. still a bit of cloud, but more sunny spells on thursday and friday.
7:01 am
as a result, temperatures staying in the low 20s. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today. from a little known qualifier to global sensation. what next for us open champion emma raducanu as she prepares to return to the uk? the government's strategy to tackle coronavirus over the autumn and winter is being finalised. we'll get the details tomorrow. the family who lost a daughter and a father to suicide within eight months tell us how a 100—mile charity run is helping otherfamilies. a horrible injury for the liverpool star harvey elliott yesterday, he dislocated his ankle when he was
7:02 am
tackled during the game against leeds. he will have surgery in the coming days. in the full focus will be coming up here on breakfast. —— the full forecast will be coming up here on breakfast. it's monday september 13th. our top story. teenage tennis star emma raducanu says she's ready for anything and can cope with her rise to stardom after winning the us open. the 18—year—old is expected to do a round of interviews today pop with american television networks and is predicted to become one of the sport's biggest earners. our correspondent james reynolds has more. just a warning, his report contains flash photography. some new eras are born slowly but others start all in one go. emma raducanu comes away from the us open with a trophy,
7:03 am
a £1.8 million cheque, and a message of congratulations from the queen. 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've got great people around me to take me through these moments and they got me here, and, yeah, i'm very excited to celebrate with them later and also go home and to see everyone back home. now we rest, recover, and then we go again. that's what we do. she's given uk customs fair warning of the kind of silverware she'll have to declare on her return home. where she might find herself doing more of this. this summer, she was photographed by vogue magazine. she'd just come out of wimbledon and was just a ray of sunshine, really, and incredibly confident, very poised, it really felt like nothing could really faze her. speaks mandarin.
7:04 am
after her victory in new york, emma raducanu greeted fans in mandarin. raising her profile in her mother's country of origin. but fame doesn't win matches. oh, my god! so, how far can her tennis skills take her? champions do look like they belong from the get go, right? they're not overwhelmed by the occasion. when they have a big win, they follow it up the next day because they're not done. they're just getting started. so they always look like they belong. but she took it to a whole new level, again, with her emotions and her poise. she's got a long way to go, she's just getting started. so hold your horses, hall of famer, of course, and the only question is how many majors will she win. she'll be number one in the world, most likely. for now, though, emma raducanu will have to settle with being world number 23. a summit to the very top comes in stages. james reynolds, bbc news.
7:05 am
it's been such a great weekend, after that. and a very good move by channel 4 to put it on tv, nearly 10 million people watched it. at ten past eight, sally has an interview with virginia wade who was in new york for the final — she's of course the last british player to win a women's single title at a major 44 years ago. the prime minister is finalising the government's strategy for tackling coronavirus in england over the autumn and winter months ahead of a press conference tomorrow. a decision on boosterjabs is imminent and borisjohnson will also announce he's repealing some emergency covid powers. our political correspondent chris mason reports. nearly 90% of those of us aged over 16 in the uk have now had a first pop dose of covid vaccine. nearly 90% of those of us aged over 16 in the uk have now had a first dose of covid vaccine. and 80% of us have had both jabs.
7:06 am
the prime minister will say this is what has allowed so much of a normal life to return, and so soon it will be time for older people to get a third jab. borisjohnson will also announce plans to get rid of any covid related powers the government no longer needs, but to keep others. the legal authority via the coronavirus act to close schools and some businesses in england will be ditched, but other elements of the coronavirus act will be kept such as the requirement to self—isolate having testing positive, and the provision of sick pay from day one to those self—isolating. final decisions await on making it easier to travel abroad, and vaccinating healthy 12 to 15—year—olds. it's a delicate balancing act for ministers to try and strike here. health secretary sajid javid acknowledging that covid and other viruses "like autumn and winter," as he put it. cases could go up.
7:07 am
and the nhs is already under significant pressure. chris mason, bbc news. we can speak to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. there are, we think, significant things to be talked about this week, aren't there?— aren't there? yeah, this is going to be the government's _ aren't there? yeah, this is going to be the government's plan - aren't there? yeah, this is going to be the government's plan a - aren't there? yeah, this is going to l be the government's plan a unveiled for winter and that is that there is a big boosterjab campaign for lots of people and potentially vaccinating 12 to 15—year—old children if that is what the uk's chief medical officers agree in the next few days. but then there is the question of plan b, or what elements could make up plan b if that deteriorates, the covid situation. you have the delta variant which is much more transmissible and you could have lots of people getting flu as well, and we aren't entirely sure how a macro and flu will interact and how that can affect the
7:08 am
health service. —— how covid and flu will interact. so i suspect we will see several things kept in reserve forjust in case, things like wearing masks in more settings, or getting more advice to work from home. one thing where there has been a little bit of a hokey coqui is this idea of vaccine certificates. initially the government said, no way will these be used in england. thenin way will these be used in england. then injuly way will these be used in england. then in july the way will these be used in england. then injuly the government said in september they would introduce vaccine certificates for nightclubs and other crowded places. yesterday the health secretary sajid javid said that would not be proceeding as planned. but i think when we see the covid winter plan this week i think we will see in reserve the idea of using vaccine certificates in some places in england. but let's see it all black and white before we see all black and white before we see all the government's choices. the trial of a new blood test,
7:09 am
designed to detect more than 50 types of cancer before symptoms appear, begins today. more than 140,000 volunteers aged between 50 and 77 will be offered the tests, which work by spotting chemical changes in genetic code. researchers say if the trial is a success, it could mark the beginning of a revolution in cancer treatment. a us court will hold a pre—trial hearing today, in the civil case filed by a woman who claims the duke of york sexually assaulted her when she was 17. last week, lawyers for virginia giuffre claimed they had successfully served prince andrew with legal papers. a judge will decide if those papers were issued correctly. the duke of york has always strongly denied the accusations and says he has no recollection of meeting ms giuffre. north korea claims it has successfully tested a new long—range cruise missile, capable of hitting much ofjapan. these pictures have been released by the north korean state media accompanying reports that two missiles were launched over the weekend, both travelling as far as 1,500 kilometres. the us military said the test
7:10 am
showed north korea's "threat to its neighbours and the international community". thousands of people have left their homes in southern spain, after wildfires broke out in the region of andalusia. one emergency worker has been killed in the blaze, which began on wednesday near the popular resort town of estepona on the costa del sol. over 7000 hectares of land have been burnt and the military has been deployed. as if running 26.2 miles isn't far enough, participants at the brighton marathon yesterday got a bit more than they signed up for when the course ended up being slightly longer than they thought. organisers did realise that the route was a third of a mile longer than it was supposed to be, but the mistake was only spotted afterwards.

7:14 am
from the government's plan for the pandemic over the autumn and winter? so far the government to have been putting forward plans and then doing u—turns which is very frustrating especially for those businesses that over the last 18 months have had a very difficult time. the government minister came last week to the houses of parliament and said that they would have vaccine passports for larger venues and then over the weekend the health secretary seemed to u—turn on that. this is chaotic for people who want certainty. we have always had in the labour party that it should be able to be proven that it should be able to be proven that tests show you do not have covid, because once you have been vaccinated you can still get covid. so we think the government have really messed up and been very confusing which i think adds to the problem. we want to see a good plan for the nhs, we know the nhs has suffered significantly. and the government's plans to national

followed the science which is what the frustration has been. we have asked them to publish the information and last week they were pushing very hard for vaccine passports in large venues and in the weekend they u—turn on that. the welsh government have managed to implement the clear communication very successfully and we want to see that across england, we want to see pettis being able to open safely, but we also want to see a combination of making sure that people can prove that they have the vaccine but also look at free testing so people can get a test when they need it and prove they are covid free. ~ ., , when they need it and prove they are covid free. . . , ., ,., when they need it and prove they are covid free. . . , ., ., , covid free. what is the labour party view on vaccinating _ covid free. what is the labour party view on vaccinating 12 _ covid free. what is the labour party view on vaccinating 12 to _ view on vaccinating 12 to 15—year—olds? view on vaccinating 12 to 15-year-olds?_ view on vaccinating 12 to 15-year-olds? view on vaccinating 12 to 15- ear-olds? �* . , , ., , 15-year-olds? again, this should be followed by — 15-year-olds? again, this should be followed by the _ 15-year-olds? again, this should be followed by the science. _ 15-year-olds? again, this should be followed by the science. we - 15-year-olds? again, this should be followed by the science. we have i followed by the science. we have vaccines for things like the mmr and other vaccines that we have rolled out that people should be given informed information about, and if it is considered that is the right thing to do, young people and their parents should be given the option of taking a vaccine or not but it should not be compulsory. iterate

the metropolitan police commissioner has accused tech giants of making it harder to identify and stop terrorists, by using end—to—end encryption on sites like facebook and what's app. dame cressida dick said it was making it "impossible in some cases" for the police to do theirjobs. last week, the government called on tech firms to put user safety before profits. the boss of ryanair has warned holiday prices are likely to rise sharply next year as demand for travel increases. michael o'leary has told a national newspaper that fewer flights, inflation and more taxes would drive airfares up. he said with some airlines going out of business during the pandemic, it meant there would be fewer seats available. ryanair will also cease all operations at london southend. let's look at the travel and the tube board.
7:31 am
the overground is part suspended between west croydon and sydenham due to a faulty track. the circle, district and hammersmith and city lines are part suspended. and the metropolitan line has minor delays due to train cancellations. on south eastern railways, a freight train has derailed at lee in south east london. the operator says disruption is expected for the rest of the day. they're asking commuters to delay their journey this morning if possible. there are also delays on thameslink trains due to an earlier broken rail. onto the weather now with kate. good morning. it is a largely dry start this morning, with one or two brighter spells, glimpses of sunshine, but the high pressure from the weekend is slipping away eastwards, introducing more cloud as the day continues. the cloud thick enough towards parts of west london and beyond. the odd spot of light
7:32 am
rain and drizzle. elsewhere, it should stay largely dry in the east. temperatures staying reasonably warm despite the cloud, 21 celsius the maximum. into this evening and overnight, we may get one or two clearer spells to start with. that could introduce mist and fogginess. but the cloud gradually thickening, low cloud. the minimum temperature still reaching 13 to 15 celsius. so it's still going to be mild. you notice towards the end of the night, down towards the south—west, that rain just starts to sink in as we head into tuesday morning. that rain is the first significant rain we've had for a while, as low pressure moves across the south of the uk. so, rather wet for parts of tuesday. it will gradually clear though overnight tuesday and into wednesday, after which much drier conditions. still a bit of cloud, but more sunny spells on thursday and friday. as a result, temperatures staying in the late 20s. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin.

max verstappen has been given a three place grid penalty for the next grand prix, after crashing into championship rival lewis hamilton at the italian grand prix. the pair collided at the first corner of the monza circuit as they battled to top the drivers' standings. the safety halo prevented any serious injury to hamilton and the drivers walked away. the race was won for mclaren by daniel ricciardo. i made sure i left a car's width on the outside and i was ahead going into the corner. and the next thing i know, erm... ..i guess max went over the second curb or something. he obviously knew at that point he wasn't going to make the corner and he drove into me. so, eh... ..and the next thing you know, he's just on top of me, so definitely unfortunate. as soon as i was next to him he kept on squeezing me more and more to the left. i still thought, i will

7:49 am
day. cloudy for western scotland and northern ireland. a bit more sunshine towards the end of the doubt. it should feel quite pleasant. friday will probably be the driest and brightest day of the week. temperatures are high teens, low 20s. towards the end of the week a weather front will try to push on from the west are bringing outbreaks of rain to scotland, northern ireland and western wales. that is how your weather is looking. whilst i can't offer you a vote on keeping louise on the sofa for another 20 years, i can offer you a vote for the picture of the season. head to the picture of the season. head to the website and scroll to the bottom of the page for the link. all the terms and privacy notices will be available. you have got until the end of sunday to vote. unfortunately, i can't vote where the rain that is coming tomorrow. a full update in just over half an hour. thank you, matt. i'm sure many

8:02 am
coronavirus over the autumn and winter is being finalised. we'll get the details tomorrow. a very cloudy start to the new week, rain at the times in the west parts. there are some sunny days coming up later in the week, the full focus is coming up. it's monday september 13th. teenage tennis star emma raducanu says she's ready for anything and can cope with her rise to stardom after winning the us open. the is—year—old is expected to do a round of interviews today with american television networks and is predicted to become one of the sport's biggest earners. our correspondent james reynolds has more. just a warning, his report contains flash photography. some new eras are born slowly but others start all in one go. emma raducanu comes away

from the us open with a trophy, a £1.8 million cheque, and a message of congratulations from the queen. 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've got great people around me to take me through these moments and they got me here, and, yeah, i'm very excited to celebrate with them later and also go home and to see everyone back home. now we rest, recover, and then we go again. that's what we do. she's given uk customs fair warning of the kind of silverware she'll have to declare on her return home. where she might find herself doing more of this. this summer, she was photographed by vogue magazine. she'd just come out of wimbledon and was just a ray of sunshine, really, and incredibly confident, very poised, it really felt like nothing could really faze her. speaks mandarin.
8:04 am
after her victory in new york, emma raducanu greeted fans in mandarin. raising her profile in her mother's country of origin. but fame doesn't win matches. oh, my god! so, how far can her tennis skills take her? champions do look like they belong from the get go, right? they're not overwhelmed by the occasion. when they have a big win, they follow it up the next day because they're not done. they're just getting started. so they always look like they belong. but she took it to a whole new level, again, with her emotions and her poise. she's got a long way to go, she's just getting started. 50 hold your horses, hall of famer, of course, and the only question is how many majors will she win. she'll be number one in the world, most likely. for now, though, emma raducanu will have to settle with being world number 23. a summit to the very top comes in stages. james reynolds, bbc news.

yesterday, the health secretary sajid javid said the government wasn't going to proceed with that. it turns out it's not going to proceed without this month, it could be that the idea of covid passports are held in reserve. here is the work and pensions secretary therese coffey explained it this morning. irate coffey explained it this morning. we were due to make a decision in september about whether we would formally _ september about whether we would formally introduce them by the end of the _ formally introduce them by the end of the month, and in effect a mandate _ of the month, and in effect a mandate their use in certain working environment or certain other other environments. as sajid javid set out yesterday. — environments. as sajid javid set out yesterday, the consideration, although— yesterday, the consideration, although the formal decision is still to— although the formal decision is still to be made, the consideration is that— still to be made, the consideration is that having reflected and look at the different details of the proposal, it's not deemed necessary at this— proposal, it's not deemed necessary at this moment in time but they have not been _ at this moment in time but they have not been ruled out forever. the government — not been ruled out forever. the government has _ not been ruled out forever. inez government has been on not been ruled out forever. ii9: government has been on quite a politicaljourney government has been on quite a political journey with vaccine passports, going from a hard note, to a maybe, to an almost certainly, two are probably not at the moment.
8:08 am
probably a combination of things have led them to this, a high take—up of vaccines amongst young people, so you don't he needed to use a vaccine passport as a stick to get people vaccinated. and a lot of tory mps absolutely hate the idea and i'm not convinced it would have got through parliament.— got through parliament. thank you very much. — got through parliament. thank you very much. speak _ got through parliament. thank you very much, speak to _ got through parliament. thank you very much, speak to you _ got through parliament. thank you very much, speak to you later- got through parliament. thank you very much, speak to you later on. | nearly a third of people arriving in england and northern ireland as the coronavirus delta variant took off, may have broken quarantine rules. according to figures, more than 300,000 cases were passed to investigators between march and may. but the government is unable to say how many of these were found to have broken the rules or couldn't be traced. the home office says it aims to pay home visits to all travellers suspected of not following the rules. the trial of a new blood test, designed to detect more than 50 types of cancer before symptoms appear, begins today. more than 140,000 volunteers aged between 50 and 77 will be offered the tests, which work by spotting chemical changes in genetic code. researchers say if the trial

8:13 am
thank you very much, see you later. we've been talking all morning about the amazing success of emma raducanu at the us open. sally's here with more. she just got totally busted! we were chattin: she just got totally busted! we were chatting about _ she just got totally busted! we were chatting about emma _ she just got totally busted! we were chatting about emma raducanu. - chatting about emma raducanu. marvelling at her brilliance, weren't we? that's what we are talking about this morning. irate weren't we? that's what we are talking about this morning. we are, the brilliant — talking about this morning. we are, the brilliant new— talking about this morning. we are, the brilliant new stuff. _ emma raducanu's thrilling us open win ended britain's ali—year wait for a women's singles grand slam champion. the last person to hold that title was virginia wade, who was in the crowd at flushing meadows. i've been speaking to virginia about what it was like to watch, and how life could now change for britain's new tennis superstar. virginia wade, the last british woman to win a women's singles title until emma raducanu. what a great link you have
8:14 am
between the two of you. oh, boy, has it been exciting! listen, i was very proud when i won the us open. it was so long ago. people always say, you are the last british woman to win. and i say, yeah, but that's not what i am proud of, that i'm the last. i'm just proud i did win. i'm just so thrilled that somebody as good as emma has come along and taken the world by absolute storm and just been brilliant. virginia, what makes her so good? watching that match last night, she started brilliantly. you looked at her and thought, can she keep this up? oh, boy, she really kept it up, didn't she? she's been like that for ten matches in a row in this tournament. it's absolutely phenomenal. she has nailed so many firsts.
8:15 am
the first qualifier, the first british, two teenagers, all sorts of lovely stories. she has played really, really well the whole tournament. she has, like, dismantled her opponents. i mean, obviously, it's not going to get quite as straightforward as that, her ongoing rise, but she has got all the attributes that you need to make a champion. have you been able to get any personal message to her, or have any time? kim clijsters was behind me at the end and she said, we are going to go and see her come off the court and give her a big hug, which is what we did. she was ready to have everybody give her a big hug. i wasn't going to steal too much of her time. i just wanted to say to emma that we just thought she was just the best. we were all thrilled. i was absolutely thrilled, along with millions of people.
8:16 am
when we were watching her at wimbledon, of course, i think everybody thought, how is she going to get past this moment where she struggled to maintain her composure? i don't think anyone watching at that point as an outsider would have thought she would recover quite so quickly and quite so dramatically. well, i don't think anybody thought this would ever happen quite as dramatically as it has, but, to be honest, i didn't think that was a big deal at wimbledon. in fact, as soon as i'd seen it, i mean, i was watching from here, so it was on television, i e—mailed nigel sears and said, it's not a big deal.
8:17 am
she hit her stride at the us open in such great form. she has been able to put herself into a cocoon and isolate herself to a little extent because, with the pandemic, she was only allowed a very small team to travel with, not her parents, not all the lta people, not all the british media, press and television, everybody who would want a piece of her. and that is what happens at wimbledon for a british player. it was just that much more to deal with. yes, she has done it! a british victory at last. as a woman who has walked this path before her, what words of advice to you have for emma raducanu now? i think she needs to understand just how good she really is, but you have to constantly work at that to maintain it. but she has to have that self belief
8:18 am
that she really is... if you believe you are better than the others, you are going to beat them. it might be hard but in the end you are generally going to win. so i think she understands that. i'm sure she does. i mean, she seems to really be very self—aware. and commercially, from that side, what would you say to her? she is going to have herface on the cover of every magazine, isn't she? how does she handle that level of fame? that is probably the hardest thing these days, to handle that. she has got to have very good advice on that. just not do too much, not play too much, because you don't want to play too much when there is so much expectation on you, then you get stale or you lose your motivation. that is a balance that is difficult to get. you don't know until you... she hasn't played that many tournaments. you don't know until you go
8:19 am
further into this process. and then, as far as the attention and that, she has got to be protected because with every yes you say, there is quite a stressful commitment. so she's got to pick and choose. and boy, she can pick and choose the best of them. virginia, she has given us all a spring in our step, hasn't she? you are absolutely right. it is just what everybody needed. i mean, the day was very symbolic, 9/11, 2021. but you have a full stadium like that, cheering and roaring their heads off and clapping and loving it, and appreciating these two young players — and leylah fernandez, i mean, she is going to be around as well. virginia, brilliant to talk to you. thank you so much. and bobby. i want bobby to give you a...

8:40 am
so she was learning to talk. once upon a time there was a boy called charlie cook who curled up in a cosy chair and read his favourite book. every time i spoke, or sang a nursery rhyme with the kids or read a story, i was like, this is the last time, not much longer. you know, three days, two days, one day before surgery. so it's so weird when you know that something is going to get taken away from you. when tanja first woke up she couldn't speak but she was fitted with a valve in her neck. when she presses it, it produces sound. when you heard your new voice for the first time, what did you think? i was absolutely horrified. i think i sounded like a tractor or something, it was just like this weird, low, guttural vibrating noise that came out. this is what i sound like this evening. i've just come downstairs from putting the kids to bed.
8:41 am
i managed to get through an entire storybook. and for the next few months, she had chemo and radiotherapy while she relearned how to speak. when i dream, i dream in my old voice, and i'm like, oh, i've got my old voice back. shall we see what it looks like on my neck? yeah. sticky. it's going to be sticky. tanja has always been open with her children. before the operation she prepared them for the changes, and sometimes her five—year—old son rudy still needs to talk about them. he said, "i miss your voice, mummy," and i'm like, yeah, i miss it too. and we went and sat on the sofa and had a cuddle and got a little bit, we were a bit sad, had a bit of a cry. and hejust said, "your old voice was so lovely and beautiful, mummy." i'm going to the party. going to the party? tanja used to love to sing on stage,
8:42 am
around the house, and in the car. he's going to sleep, he's gone to sleep. not being able to sing happy birthday, you know, kind of regretting that. but i'm like, why didn't i record myself singing happy birthday? and then i could play it for the kids on their birthdays. things like that, i think, that gets me almost more than the talking bit. and after 18 months, for the first time, she is back on stage. performing a duet all about herjourney. singing together. the soprano represents her old voice. it makes me really happy and it makes me really sad because obviously what comes out is not at all what used to come out.
8:43 am
i miss my voice. i think i'll always miss it. you know, i can be ok with it and i can accept it, but there will always be an element of, you know, it's part of me and now it's gone. i love you both, oh, so very much. fiona lamdin, bbc news. what a lovely story. you really get a sense of the real hardship she has been through. a sense of the real hardship she has been through-— been through. yeah, for her kids as well, 'ust been through. yeah, for her kids as well. just the _ been through. yeah, for her kids as well, just the honest _ been through. yeah, for her kids as well, just the honest conversation i well, just the honest conversation and to be able to do that, fantastic. the sporting stars of this year's paralympic games had a hugely successful competition, topping the podium over 120 times and finishing second on the medal table behind china. last night, over 200 athletes across 19 sports were welcomed home with a special concert, to celebrate their achievements. our reporter matt graveling was there.
