6:04 am
his life was horrifically cut short. it was five years ago that labour mp jo cox was murdered in her constituency. the fatal attack on sir david has raised questions once again about the safety of mps. it is so hard, again about the safety of mps. it 3 so hard, because we have a job to do and ifound myself working so hard, because we have a job to do and i found myself working as a politician and trying to help people and trying to do good things the people and it is really important that we get good people in public life, but this is the risk that we are all taking. so many mps today will be scared by this. the speaker ofthe will be scared by this. the speaker of the house _ will be scared by this. the speaker of the house of _ will be scared by this. the speaker of the house of commons - will be scared by this. the speaker of the house of commons who - will be scared by this. the speaker. of the house of commons who went ahead with his own constituency surgery last night said security measures would need to be looked at. we've got to make sure that politicians are safe, that the people who work for them are safe, theirfamilies, the people of people who work for them are safe, their families, the people of the house of commons stop we have seen the terrorists attack there as well. we won't get into it, though. we will continue to ensure that democracy will be there, we have got to make sure we have that

secretary had to say? well, no doubt this death will be at the forefront of the home secretary's mind, at the forefront of all our elected politicians minds this morning, as we were hearing at leigh—on—sea and for the security services, the intelligence agencies, what was the motivation behind this attack? police believe the attacker was acting alone, but more widely, does it believe mps are still safe to go about their daily duties? a fundamental part of our democracy, to be able to come face—to—face with the people they represent. there would have been hundreds of constituency surgery is going on just yesterday. mps are being contacted by police forces up and down the country as part of what is known as operation bridger, which was set up in the wake of the murder ofjo cox in 2016, so they could put in shutters and alarms, but it is understood the home secretary believes it is too varied up and down the country and she wants it to

6:11 am
going to work. if you haven't had the chance to check last night's lottery numbers yet, then i'm afraid we may have some bad news for you — the record £181; million euromillions jackpot has been claimed by a ticket—holder in france. not even worth checking. might have on something. a huge prize, and it was the biggest ever. the huge prize went unclaimed after tuesday's draw, meaning last night's game was expected to attract more entries than usual. did you enter? no, but i did on tuesday- _ the most recent uk euromillions winners to go public after a big win were frances and patrick connolly, from northern ireland, who scooped close to £115 million in 2019. they are sums of money that ijust so enormous, it is really hard to imagine how that works, isn't it? 184 million. it

6:13 am
125,000 new zealanders have come forward to roll up their arms and received the covid—19 vaccination. we know the department of conservation boats have been administering —— administering jabs and remote parts of new zealand, also at auckland airport, and a new zealand dreamliner was converted into a temporary vaccination hub as well. we understand patients were given the jab in business class before being allowed to recover in economy class. all these events have been held right across the country. we have had influences, politicians, athletes and all sorts of health professionals urging new zealanders with competitions and prizes to get vaccinated, and new zealand prime minister, jacinda ardern, is hoping that 90% of new zealanders will eventually be vaccinated, and she says that inoculations are the key for a freer, safer, and unrestricted future in new zealand. so the vaxathon has another couple of hours
6:14 am
to go and new zealanders hoping to administer even more doses. phil. administer even more doses. phil, many thanks- _ a new nasa mission to study asteroids more than a billion miles from earth, gets underway this morning. over the next 12 years, the unmanned probe will examine space rocks around jupiter, in an effort to better understand how planets were formed. our science correspondent jonathan amos reports. this is a mission that will take us backin this is a mission that will take us back in time. nassar�*s lucy probable out old asteroids more than 1 billion miles from earth, circling the sign information with the giant planetjupiter. —— nasa's lucy probe. they call these ancient objects trojans, city —sized lumps of rock that preserve the chemistry from the earliest days of the solar system. lucy will visit seven trojan asteroids over the course of the next 12 years, taking pictures and careful measurements to send back to

6:16 am
morning to you. cold air across the uk into last night was not this weekend, largely dry but it will be turning mild —— once again. the temperatures we saw yesterday were actually fairly close to what one would expect closer to the mid—october average. temperatures generally in the low— mid teens but as we go through the weekend we can see they are set to lift once again and it is the start of next week we could get warmer still. the cold air, though, is still in place, at least today across far north of england hence the chilly start. the blue colours indicate that. the orange colours and the amber this is where the warm area is. this little beer —— band of cloud, this is a front behind which there is a more active system. the white cloud showing heavy rain willjust liking up showing heavy rain willjust liking up to the west of ireland at the moment. mist and fog across wales and the south—west but it will turn into a sunny day. the front extends to northern ireland, parts of southern scotland, northern england, east anglia. there will be chances

6:19 am
of his four daughters away at her wedding just weeks ago. meanwhile, "a fine public servant" is the headline for the daily telegraph. the paper says a 25—year—old reddish man of somali origin has been arrested on suspicion of murder. and the times has a picture of sir david with two pugs. it reports that the mp was known as an animal lover and was a keen supporter of animal welfare. we will hear during this morning public programme for some of the people who worked with him on projects like that and can tell us how he devoted his life to all sorts of different... how he devoted his life to all sorts of different. . ._

6:22 am
morning. it is 6:21am. time now for the latest technology news. spencer kelly and lara lewington have this week's edition of click. now, most of us have had our lives impacted by cancer in some way. i have, i know that you have too. but it can be tricky to support someone you love going through it, because you can't necessarily really understand what they're going through. but one app is hoping to help by creating a community of cancer patients to be able to share theirjourneys. reielle was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer back in 2019, and has since undergone operations,
6:23 am
chemotherapy and ivf egg collection. sometimes i feel lonely because i am literally one in a million. this spring, reielle started using a new app designed for cancer patients. i knew instantaneously it would be a place where i can message people, we could connect and communicate, and that was what i really needed. the day before i started chemotherapy i was a bag of nerves, and i turned to the app and then i had loads of messages of encouragement, support. i ended up asking a lot of questions to people, has anyone had this happen to them? i've spoken to a lot of girls about getting manicures. sometimes you can lose yourfemininity and help bringing that back is just amazingness, is what i need. alike was launched by two—time cancer survivor brad gudger. over 1,500 people have signed up so far. the problem with relying on pre—existing social media is that you can't find people.
6:24 am
alike takes the best bits of other social media platforms and repurposes it specifically for the cancer community. you can filter based on age, and in future we want to enable people to filter based on locations, providing something that can be there with you, right at point of diagnosis, through treatment, through recovery, and in some cases, with people at the end of our lives. voiceover: if you or someone you care for is coping _ with illness... many are keen to keep up with the latest research too, but this can be challenging as new findings shared by academics or medics can be hard to decipher. and that's where medivizor comes in — a service that scans the web, translating the latest studies into patient—friendly email updates. when my late mum was diagnosed with cancer, i was amazed that the plain english availability of accurate, timely information was really horrible.
6:25 am
so how does the process work? i take it you've got a team of people who are actually collecting all this information and then translating it into something people can understand. it's a combination of algorithms that are crawling the internet, prioritising information based on algorithms of what is important, and also people that are assisting the machine to refine this conversion from scientific language into layman, almost layman terms. its basic service is free for patients but the company is funded by paid versions, including one for private doctors. taking matters into your own hands, though, can have its downsides. of course the important thing is recognising that at that time they're at their most vulnerable. so where information is quite empowering, you have to make sure it's the right information, notjust based on an algorithm which could, unfortunately, scare the patient sometimes. �*cause two people could have cancer, and have different concerns about their
6:26 am
cancer diagnosis. the right music makes things better. it can change our mental state, add emotion to movies and commercials, and even help us move when it's hard to keep putting one step in front of the other. yet, while so many of us consume music, playing an instrument feels out of reach. but you no longer need 10,000 hours to create something beautiful, you just need a different kind of instrument. singing: # this is the harmony enaine, #adding layers of extra vocals # to my voice in real—time. the program first recognises which note i'm singing, and then adds layers based on music theory or even user input. you analyse the formant at the pitch you're singing at, and then you slice off your head, you transpose the pitch
6:27 am
and then put your head back on. laughter. and so that's, that's kinda, really kinda how it works in, like, a really silly sort of explanation. the new product, auto tune slice, has only been out a week. it automatically cuts a vocal melody into a playable musical keyboard. but is all this tech taking too much skill out of music creation? musicians that have deep knowledge of music theory and recording engineers who understand every aspect of the recording process, and those guys are probably rolling their eyes, laughs, and like, "we had to learn all this stuff, and now companies are trying to make tools so that they don't have to do the hard work that we did, to learn our craft and learn our trade." if you're more of a drummer than a singer, dubler might hit the spot, using al to learn your version of different bits of a drum kit. now you have to train the system by recording a few takes.
6:28 am
ts—ts—ts—ts — that's my hi—hat. and now dubler knows roughly what i mean with different drum sounds turning my enthusiastic though amateur beatboxing into a full drum kit. she beatboxes. unlike many music plug—ins, dubler also works without needing any external audio software, though it does work with digital audio workstations. lowering the barriers to creativity can help musicians who struggle with mobility. like yurina, an avid pianist who is connected to a respirator and unable to leave her house, so, she's controlling this grand piano at yokohama city hall remotely. it's part of a project between yamaha and the tokyo university of the arts. when yurina presses a key, the daredemo auto—accompanied piano plays along with her. she practised playing her side slightly ahead of time, as it takes about 100 milliseconds for her
6:29 am
piano signal to reach the concert hall. none of these new creativity tools detract from the massive benefits of learning a physical instrument. in fact, i think they complement each other. technology at its best, giving the gift of music to everyone. i don't know about you, but my kids are having a completely different school experience to the one that i had when i was young. how about you ? i mean, theyjust seem to be able to do teaching so much better these days. mm, maybe there's just more weight being given to the idea that different children learn in different ways. i think you're right. and in fact, some kids, my boy included, learn really well through computer games. and i expect marc cieslak would've done too. dramatic music plays. since 2007, the assassin's creed videogames have allowed players to bump off bad guys throughout periods of history as varied as renaissance italy to ancient greece. the most recent entry in the series, assassin's creed: valhalla,
6:30 am
transports the action to the ninth century as vikings attempt to settle in britain, something that doesn't go down that well with the locals. valhalla's developers have worked really closely with historians and archaeologists to ensure historical accuracy and real locations like this one, portchester castle on england's south coast, appear in the game. we tried to research the kind of people that we would meet there but also their habits, the way they would talk, the way they would live their daily lives. i tire of raiding, harold. and the idea is not just aesthetic but also philosophical, what are their thoughts of the period, what are they looking for in their daily lives? but what do you do with all of that research and work after it's been put to work
6:31 am
building a world in the game? the developers have removed the violence from the game, replacing it with quests which are designed to allow the player to gain greater historical insight about the period. valhalla is the third assassin's creed game to feature this element, called discovery tour: viking age. we must exit the fjord, sail right. we've created these quests that are basically around empathy, because videogames have a strong component to make people learn, because we feel what our avatars and what the characters are living through. then i shall observe and hopefully learn some new tricks of my own. one of the most famous viking settlements in the uk was in york, and it's here we find thejorvik viking centre, home to a vast array of period artefacts — some of which provided inspiration for the developers. and it's here we also find writer and broadcaster danny wallace.

he's had a long association with the assassins creed series, providing the voice of one of the game's characters, historian sean hastings. hello, am i speaking out loud, hello? i think back to my history lessons at school, and a man or a lady would stand up and they would talk to me for a very long time about crop rotation or spinning jennies. and, erm, thanks to kind of getting involved in these games, you find yourself engaging with those worlds much more. so if you suddenly see something and it catches your eye, and you're like, "i wonder how they made shoes," or "i wonder what they ate", you can go over there and you can find out yourself. the discovery tour will find its way into classrooms in 52 schools across the uk, as a result of a collaboration between the game's publishers ubisoft and ukie, the british games industry trade body. ukie�*s educational arm, digital schoolhouse, will see this version
6:33 am
of the game used as a teaching tool across a wide variety of subjects including history, art, english and computing. most teachers will agree, that when you are teaching children, passive consumption of knowledge has limited retention value long—term. the best way to get children to learn and to develop a deep and full understanding, which they can then apply later on down the line, is by getting them actively involved in doing something that's engaging. do not lose your course through the storm! so in the future, when we want to learn something, as well as consulting a book or research with the help of the internet, some of us mightjust pick up a games controller too. where am i? jotunheim! and i'm afraid that's it for the shortcut of this week's click, the full—length version is waiting for you, as ever, on iplayer. and as ever, you can keep up with the team throughout the week on social media, on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching, we'll see you soon. bye— bye.

league, if not in a few years time, not immediately, or these kinds of things. yeah, with all the things of how financial fair play is used these days, when nobody knows exactly if it is still existing or not, stuff like this, of course, but for the rest of us itjust means there is a new superpower in newcastle. the champions, manchester city, play burnley today, and will england forward raheem sterling make only his second premier league start of the season? this week sterling said he's open to moving abroad if he doesn't play more. his contract runs out in 2023. manager pep guardiola says he cannot guarantee him a more prominent role, and that he must fight for his place like everyone else. some players complain, want to play all the time, but i cannot assure them. they know it, i cannot assure how many minutes every player is going to play. what i want from raheem sterling and from everyone is to be happy. they have to be satisfied to be here. they have to

be delighted to be in this club. if this is not the case they are free to take the decision for the best for him, for the players, for their families. west bromwich albion are back on top of the championship after beating local rivals birmingham city 1—0. karlan grant scored the only goal with 15 minutes left. that was enough for albion to go top. birmingham are without a win in five games now. sale sharks left it late to beat defending champions harlequins in rugby union's premiership. quins, who were undefeated before this game, led by two points with five minutes to go before a tom curtis penalty put sale in front — and then this last—gasp try from scrum half raffi quirke sealed a 28—22 win and moved sharks up to fourth in the table. it's one of the biggest days ahead in cameron norrie's tennis career. he faces gregor dimitrov tonight in the semi—finals

of the indian wells tournamentm and whatever happens, he's already assured of being the new british number one next week, and could even break into the world's top 20 for the first time. he's won more atp matches this year than world number one novak djokovic. england bowlerjames anderson says he would love their talisman ben stokes to come back into the fold, with the team leaving for the ashes in three weeks, but it can't be rushed. stokes has taken an indefinite break from the game to protect his mental health, and has also been recovering from surgery to a finger. but there was great excitement this week when stokes posted a social media video of him batting again in the nets. it is totally in his hands, you know. he's got to be 100% right before he comes back. he's got the full support of the team, and, yeah, we willjust play it by ear, really,
6:39 am
if he doesn't think he can play some part in the ashes, that's great, if not, that's ok as well. we just want ben to be back to where we know he can be because he is such a big player for this can be because he is such a big playerfor this team. england's moeen ali was part of the victorious chennai super kings team in the indian premier league in dubai. ali blasted 37 off 20 balls, to help chennai to 192—3. in reply kolkata knight riders, captained by england t—20 skipper, eoin morgan, collapsed to 165/9. it's a fourth ipl win for the super kings. morgan can now come back and focus on the t20 world cup. of course, molinari has retired from test cricket, but is still active in other formats of the game. —— moeen ali. as, other formats of the game. -- moeen ali. �* , ., ., i. other formats of the game. -- moeen ali. �* , ., ., ~~ ali. a question for you, mike. if ou won ali. a question for you, mike. if you won 184 _ ali. a question for you, mike. if you won 184 million _ ali. a question for you, mike. if you won 184 million euros - ali. a question for you, mike. if| you won 184 million euros would ali. a question for you, mike. if- you won 184 million euros would you still be here this morning? you won184 million euros would you still be here this morning?— still be here this morning? yeah. i would do it — still be here this morning? yeah. i would do it for _ still be here this morning? yeah. i would do it for nothing. _ still be here this morning? yeah. i would do it for nothing. would - still be here this morning? yeah. i l would do it for nothing. would you? it is m would do it for nothing. would you? it is my passion. — would do it for nothing. would you? it is my passion, my _ would do it for nothing. would you? it is my passion, my pride _ would do it for nothing. would you? it is my passion, my pride and - would do it for nothing. would you? it is my passion, my pride and joy! l it is my passion, my pride and joy! it is my passion, my pride and joy! i wouldn't know what to do when i wake up in the morning.—

6:44 am
asteroids, and all that information will feed into understanding our solar system as a whole. so cyrus rex is sending a little piece of a main asteroid back, and another nasa mission, psyche, will explore an iron world. so what was probably the core of a dwarf planet, the outside blew off and now we are looking at the metallic rich core stop button launches later in the year. so just a really exciting times asteroid science. we will be learning a lot about asteroids the next five years. what did we learn from the pluto mission? ~ ., , ., mission? where to begin? the main thin to mission? where to begin? the main thing to me — mission? where to begin? the main thing to me is _ mission? where to begin? the main thing to me is that _ mission? where to begin? the main thing to me is that pluto _ mission? where to begin? the main thing to me is that pluto is - mission? where to begin? the main thing to me is that pluto is active. . thing to me is that pluto is active. when we got there there was this region on pluto that didn't have any craters, but implies something is going on. craters only get eroded if there is an active process, and cratering happens everywhere. so the idea that this world which is about the same size as the continental united states, well away from the sun, no big gas giant or big source of energy, has geologic activity, but was mind blowing to me. it was not expected. itjust goes to show

6:50 am
1800, it is the uk's smallest designated city. i'm visiting a farm that's cottoned on to a trend which has still to catch on in britain, but that's already feeding some 2 billion people around the world. set across 100 acres of pembrokeshire's countryside, the bug farm is home to dozens of species of insects, and it's the only one of its kind in the uk. as someone who's scared of bugs, i wasn't sure what to expect, and, as always, i was thrown right into the deep end. so who've you got here? this is one of our giant stick insects. it doesn't have a common name, so little is known about it. do you want to hold it? yes. i will do it. i willjust pop her on to you. she will grip on a tiny bit. it's like a live twig! she won't go anywhere. you never notice them if they are in a bush. amazing! as well as offering this unique take on a petting zoo, sarah hopes herfarm inspire an important shift
6:51 am
in the way we view bugs, into seeing them as a potential resource in the battle against climate change. so the bug farm is first and foremost a place where you come to the awesome insects and invertebrates like this. we want people to come here and have an experience, they are not sure and go, wow! if we can get that insight and then allow people to go, ok, let me learn a bit more about them, they are quite fascinating, they are really useful as well. that's the idea. the bug farm's main draw is arguably its grub kitchen. it's the only restaurant in the uk devoted to eating insects. so we don't eat insects. don't worry, we aren't going to eat you! what we can do is if we look at including insects in our diet, we can actually get protein very efficiently from a group of animals we don't usually eat here in the west. it makes loads of sense because you can get a similar amount of protein
6:52 am
to beef from insects but with up to 25% less feed going in. a fraction of the land use because insects can be found vertically. right. i have to admit, andy, i have never tried about waste food before. not to my knowledge, anyway. i have eaten a few flies in my time. i am terrified what i will find inside. what have we got in here? you have got a sweet potato, squash, cricket, yellow mealworm and there is a buffalo insect as well, which is the larvae of a lesser mealworm. go ahead if you want to have a try, go for it. you're chucking me in the deep end with this one. and i love pecora. quite a lot to live up to. the buffalo worm is quite a subtle rice flavour, the mealworm has a nutty different flavour
6:53 am
and the crickets, some people think taste like mushroom, some say white chocolate. that's really nice. if i didn't know... the spice is amazing. i know the ingredients and i can see my little bug friends in there, but i wouldn't necessarily know that i'm eating an insect—based thing. that is the sort of thing we want to get people to get their heads around, insects add this savoury taste. even the welsh government is behind this bug revolution. recently providing andy and sarah a grant to help tackle obesity in schools. we are not going to say to people not eat meat, that's not the message we want to get across. i am surprised more chefs haven't tried this so far.
6:54 am
as far as i am aware the uk, we are the only restaurant to have insects on menu full—time. i've grown attached to my stick insect friend, so i don't think i will be swapping out my courgettes for crickets. from the sound of it here in the uk a sprinkling of insects on your chips might be more commonplace in the not too distant future. finally, winter's fast approaching here, by far the best time to go hunting for the northern lights. the arctic phenomenon on so many of our bucket lists. but did you know there's an equally impressive display in the southern hemisphere, the aurora australis. we've been on board a unique flight over the skies of new zealand to seek it out.
6:55 am
it's really one of the world's most phenomenal natural light shows. it's very otherworldly, very dramatic. since moving to dunedin in 2013 i've become completely and utterly bonkers about this amazing phenomenon, and i've spend many dark night chasing around remote parts of southern new zealand when we get to see the australis. but a few years ago i realised if i wanted to see the aurora australis i've gotta get way south of new zealand. we've got to get an airliner, basically. find the active area of aurora and then start orbiting around until you get fantastic views, and that's what we're doing tonight. we are ten hours, really chasing auroras across the southern ocean, 41,000 feet in an amazing aircraft. boeing 787.

we've just seen the numbers and the aurora is brewing for a bit of a storm. there is a bit of a party here in christchurch. i always like to hold off on the champagne until we've seen the aurora. that's my personal way of doing things but this is pretty exciting times. this stuff is important. tourism is important to our country, and whatever happens tonight, and i hope to god we see an aurora because otherwise i'm hiding in the toilet, this is really important. ijust want to say, rachel, what an amazing job you have done. thank you. the flight�*s our pivot project. we came into covid as specialists and traveled to latin america and antarctica. covid put an end to that so we knew we had to do something else. as it turned out,
6:57 am
there had been an astronomer, doctor ian griffin, who in 2017 and 2018 had done some private charters to see the southern lights. so i reached out to him, hi, i'm rachael. we'd like to recreate these flights again. he kindly said yes and came on board. we're sold out, 273 on board tonight. 273 also coming on board tomorrow night. so, it's really, it's amazing. we are excited. we're starting to get into the aurora zone, and as you can tell from all the tape, we're trying to see the aurora, but in a minute the lights will go down and hopefully we can get some good pictures. can the lights go down?
6:58 am
we will turn them down right now. awesome. yay! start looking out the window. look, you can see it just ahead of us. look, look! it's starting to come in now. can you see it through the windows? yes. starting to see it. did you see that? oh, yes! so good. yeah, i enjoyed it a lot.
6:59 am
fantastic. it was so exciting and to pray and wish and everything, - it was unbelievable. we flew into an aurora storm tonight so we got some lovely images. certainly for me it is one of the best flights i've ever seen. the aurora tonight was spectacular. now it's time for a quick breakfast and processing images for the rest of the day. right, that's all for this week. but coming up next time...

7:03 am
in leigh—on—sea, worshippers came together in a mass to remember their mp. sir david amess had been a member of parliament in essex for 38 years. colleagues described him as a kind man devoted to his constituency of southend west. he made everybody feel valued and he listened, he was a good listener. you felt it. people felt he represented them in the houses of parliament. he was at his happiest when he was helping people. he was a true servant and an inspiration. his heart was in his- community, it really was. he was the best constituency mp you could ever wish for. - it was there in the middle of the day at a different church in leigh—on—sea that he was stabbed multiple times. he'd been holding one of his regular surgeries to meet constituents. police officers and paramedics tried to save him, but he died at the scene.
7:04 am
a 25—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. last night police declared it was a terrorist incident. a tragic day for the family and colleagues of sir david, the community of southend and indeed for the whole of greater essex. sir david has dedicated his life to serving the communities of essex and southend. and he was simply dispensing his duties when his life was horrifically cut short. it was five years ago that the labour mp jo cox was murdered in her constituency. the fatal attack on sir david has raised questions once again about the safety of mps. it's so hard, because we have a job to do and i find myself now working as a politician and trying to help people and trying to do good things for people, and it's really important that we get good people in public life, but this is the risk that we're all taking. you know, and so many mps today will be scared by this. the speaker of the house of commons,
7:05 am
who went ahead with his own constituency surgery last night, said security measures would need to be looked at. we've got to make sure the politicians are safe, the people who work for them, theirfamilies, the people of the house of commons. we've seen the terrorist attack there as well. what we won't do, we won't give into it, though. we will continue to ensure that democracy will be there. we have got to make sure we have that relationship with our electors is there. that's the unique part of british politics, but we've got to make sure that mps are safe. mps are expected to be contacted by their local police forces today. the home secretary has ordered an immediate review of their security. the flags in westminster are flying at half mast for sir david amess, as questions are already being asked once again about how to keep his colleagues safe. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. in a moment we will speak to our political correspondent
7:06 am
peter saull, who is in downing street, but first to ben boulos who is in leigh—on—sea for us this morning. ben, police have confirmed they are treating the killing as a terrorist incident — what more do we know? yes, what more do we know? so what we know at this 5 is yes, so what we know at this stage is that a 25—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. police, as you say, are treating it as a terrorist incident. that means that the metropolitan police's counterterrorism command is leading the investigation into what went on here yesterday. it means a huge amount of resources are being put into the investigation. they will write now be scouring electronic devices, any cctv, and we also understand they are searching two properties as well as they continue to also questioned a 25—year—old man. the phrase police have used is
7:07 am
that they see a potential link to islamist extremism. so they are clearly, there is clearly a sense of urgency to try to gather any footage, —— cam footage, smart doorbell footage or anybody who may have been in the area who has a little bit of information that might help piece together the picture of the events leading up to yesterday's tragic events. the events leading up to yesterday's tragic events-— tragic events. then, we will get the reaction from _ tragic events. then, we will get the reaction from the _ tragic events. then, we will get the reaction from the wider _ tragic events. then, we will get the reaction from the wider political - reaction from the wider political world in a few minutes, but in terms of where you are, with his constituents, a constituency that mattered so much to david amess, people must be feeling it so acutely? people must be feeling it so acutel ? , ., acutely? yes, we saw that with the viuil held acutely? yes, we saw that with the vigil held yesterday, _ acutely? yes, we saw that with the vigil held yesterday, people - acutely? yes, we saw that with the| vigil held yesterday, people coming together to reflect, to come to terms with what had happened, and also to share memories and pay tribute to him. after all, so david was the mp southend west for more than 20 years, and even before that, since 1983, he was the for basildon. —— sir david. so he is well—known and clearly well liked in the area,
7:08 am
and clearly well liked in the area, and we saw that in the tribute, not just from constituents and colleagues and friends and across the political divide, but from people who had never met him face—to—face, but knew him as a local character and as someone who championed issues that were not only important to him but championed the town and the burrow of southend, which was clearly so dear to his heart. �* �* ., .,, which was clearly so dear to his heart. �* 1, ., ,, heart. indeed. ben boulos, thank ou. our political correspondent peter saull is in downing street for us this morning. that face—to—face contact with constituents is seen as a cornerstone of british democracy, isn't it, but once again the safety of mps has been called into question here? ., , of mps has been called into question here? . , ., , , here? that is absolutely right, nina. politicians _ here? that is absolutely right, nina. politicians of _ here? that is absolutely right, nina. politicians of all - here? that is absolutely right, nina. politicians of all stripes. nina. politicians of all stripes will be reflecting on the tragic death of sir david amess yesterday. what of them describing him yesterday is notjust a colleague, but a friend. —— lots of them. of course, he was not alone yesterday and holding a constituency surgery. hundreds of these will have been happening up and down the country yesterday. it is considered a really
7:09 am
important part of a democratic process, but mps can come face—to—face with the people who elect them, to represent them in the house of commons. the prime minister was asked yesterday about security concerns. this was of course just five years since another murder of a labour mp injo cox. he wouldn't engage with that wider issue, he said now was the time to reflect on the life and the work of sir david amess. �* , ., the life and the work of sir david amess. �* ,., . the life and the work of sir david amess. ~ ,., ., ., , ., ., amess. above all, he was one of the kindest, nicest, _ amess. above all, he was one of the kindest, nicest, most— amess. above all, he was one of the kindest, nicest, most gentle - amess. above all, he was one of the kindest, nicest, most gentle people| kindest, nicest, most gentle people in politics. _ kindest, nicest, most gentle people in politics, and he also had an outstanding record of passing laws to help _ outstanding record of passing laws to help the most vulnerable, whether they were _ to help the most vulnerable, whether they were the people who are suffering from endometriosis, passing — suffering from endometriosis, passing laws to end cruelty to animals. _ passing laws to end cruelty to animals, or doing a huge amount to reduce _ animals, or doing a huge amount to reduce the — animals, or doing a huge amount to reduce the fuel poverty suffered by people _ reduce the fuel poverty suffered by people up and down the country. the home people up and down the country. iie: home secretary, people up and down the country. tie: home secretary, priti people up and down the country. i““ie: home secretary, priti patel, has been holding talks with police

forces. they in turn would get into contact with all 100 and —— 650 mps up contact with all 100 and —— 650 mps up and down the country to talk about what kind of measures they can put in place. there is a police operation, operation bridger, put in place in the aftermath of the murder ofjo cox in 2016, to put in place things like shutters and alarms to better protect mps and their staff, but already some mps are saying, look, we need to carry on doing this, of course, but you might remember so much elwood in 2018 did cpr to a police officer who was attacked, fatally stabbed at the gates to the houses of parliament. he is saying that perhaps mps need to go back to what they were doing during a pandemic, not holding face—to—face meetings with their constituents but doing it online or over the phone.— constituents but doing it online or over the phone. peter investments to, man over the phone. peter investments to. many thanks- _ over the phone. peter investments to, many thanks. -- _ over the phone. peter investments to, many thanks. -- in _ over the phone. peter investments to, many thanks. -- in spinster. i over the phone. peter investments| to, many thanks. -- in spinster. -- westminster- _ questions are being raised around how a lab that recorded thousands of faulty covid pcr results won a multi—million pound government contract. testing has now been suspended
7:11 am
at the private lab in wolverhampton and an investigation has been ordered into why it took a month to identify the failures. our health correspondent dominic hughes has more. the wolverhampton lab at the centre of the faulty tests enquiry is run by a company called immensa health clinic limited. it was awarded a government contract worth £119 million to carry out pcr tests just a few months after being set up, one of a number of lucrative government contracts the company has won. but now thousands of people who received a false negative test are living with the knowledge they may have inadvertently infected someone. really cross with the system, and also, i wanted to do the right thing. i wanted not to go out into society and spread something, you know, make people poorly. but i was being told that's what i should do. but also, over the course of the last week, i've had five pcr tests.
7:12 am
the expense and the waste of money, as well, that doesn't sit easily with me either. some campaigners say that this episode has exposed a lack of regulation of testing providers. they're outside of the health system and outside of any quality control by health professionals. we've seen this a lot with companies who don't really know what it is they're existing to do, but need some form of revenue while they're working it out, and that's what this company started as, and during the pandemic, because they could do some testing, they started doing covid testing as well and they scaled up very rapidly. immensa is a subsidiary of dante labs, which was also offering pcr tests of foreign travellers. but it's now under investigation by the competition and markets authority over concerns it has been treating customers unfairly, one of a number of covid testing terms facing similar investigations. dante labs says it's cooperating fully with the cma inquiry, but recognises a small number of customers face challenges. immensa health clinic says it's fully collaborating with health officials and added it has already analysed more than 2.5 million samples for nhs test and trace.
7:13 am
but there will be questions over whether millions of taxpayers' money has been wisely spent. dominic hughes, bbc news. if you have not had the chance to check last night's lottery numbers yet, spoiler alert, check last night's lottery numbers yet, spoileralert, i check last night's lottery numbers yet, spoiler alert, iam check last night's lottery numbers yet, spoiler alert, i am afraid we have bad news for you. the record 184 million pounds euromillions jackpot has been claimed by a ticket—holder in france. zut alors! this huge price went unclaimed _ zut alors! this huge price went unclaimed after _ zut alors! this huge price went unclaimed after tuesday's - zut alors! this huge price went i unclaimed after tuesday's draw, which meant last night's game was going to attract more interest than usual. the most recent uk euromillions winners to go public after a big win were frances and patrick connolly, from northern ireland, who scooped close to

115 million in 2019. john, ican john, i can hear the disappointment in your voice but it wasn't you, but you do know that you have to buy a ticket in order to be in it?— ticket in order to be in it? that's what i ticket in order to be in it? that's what i keep _ ticket in order to be in it? that's what i keep going _ ticket in order to be in it? that's what i keep going wrong. - ticket in order to be in it? that's| what i keep going wrong. games ticket in order to be in it? that's i what i keep going wrong. games in the gallery, working with us this morning, he told me he won £4 50 p. so there you go. don't dismiss it. £4.50, guess who is buying the coffees this morning. 14 minutes past seven. coffees this morning. 14 minutes past seven-— past seven. let's check in with matt. past seven. let's check in with matt- good — past seven. let's check in with matt. good morning. - past seven. let's check in with matt. good morning. look- past seven. let's check in with matt. good morning. look at. past seven. let's check in with i matt. good morning. look at the difference there! good morning to both of you. a bit of a stark contrast this morning. hope you are having a good saturday so far. actually start across the northern half of the country, down to —2 in parts of northumberland, whereas we are at 30 degrees in the south. so it is that mild air in the south, which hasjust about south. so it is that mild air in the south, which has just about clung on, a little bit chilly yesterday,
7:15 am
it is the mild hour which will go through this weekend. we will see temperatures gradually rise, but will be the case today for the south—west of the country, most places today should have a dry day, if you have outdoor plans it isn't looking too shabby. what's more cloud than we saw yesterday, but there is the contrast that we have. the cold air across scotland, parts of northern and eastern england, mild air to of northern and eastern england, mild airto the of northern and eastern england, mild air to the south and the west. bringing about the change, this will just about make it out. a little line of cloud. that is a warm front with warm air behind. the white areas rain bearing cloud. that will be on later in the day, especially due to west. you can see it approaching parts of ireland. rain pushing across southern counties of england, light rain or drizzle further north into northern england, northern ireland, southern scotland at times, but mist and fog at the moment in parts of wales and south—west is the biggest issue. but will clear tree with sunshine in the afternoon. sunny breaks elsewhere, not a bad day in the north of scotland, turning wet in the west of scotland, turning wet in the west of scotland and northern ireland. that is as the mild agates as far north as liverpool to hold this afternoon,
7:16 am
as liverpool to hold this afternoon, a little bit on the cool side further north, but temperatures of 9-12 further north, but temperatures of 9—12 are around average for this part of the year. as we go through the evening and overnight, it stays reasonably clear in parts of orkney, shetland, the north of scotland and a few showers, a few clear skies to the south as well for stopping between 20 of cloud and outbreaks of rain which will keep the temperatures up tonight. it won't be anywhere near as cold to some of you as it was last night. a mild start to sunday. early risers, good chance you will see wet weather at times, heavy bursts around as well. the exception to that will be shetland again, down through the english channel to the south—east, morning sunshine here and maybe it will stay dry across the south through the day. the rain, when you see it in the morning, should start to fizzle out. still the odd spot of light rain and drizzle here and there, especially into the afternoon. the skies will be brighter, a bit of sunshine, a fairly cloudy day away from the top and tail of the uk and temperature starting to lift a bit more, 12—17. as we go into next week, driving that warm air will be this area of low pressure, bringing
7:17 am
it up southerly winds all the way from the mid—atlantic, so as i said, tuesday we could see temperatures anywhere between 18 and 21. that doesn't mean sunshine, though. plenty of rain at times through next week, windiest on wednesday and then turning cooler towards the end of the week once again. back to you both. let's return to our main story now. dozens of people have attended a vigil at a church in leigh—on—sea to remember the mp sir david amess, who was stabbed to death while carrying our his constituency work yesterday. the service was led by parish priest fatherjeff woolnough, whojoins us now, alongside kevin buck, a conservative southend councillor who worked with sir david for ten years. father fjeff, can we start with you, please? look like an incredibly moving service that you took —— fatherjeff. brute

7:30 am
what china says it spent on the military each year since 1990. it also claims that in the coming 12 months it will spend another 210 billion dollars. that would be more than any other country bar america. this military expansion is in part about america. ageing forces have also —— always dwarfed the taiwan military —— beijing forces. but they know that americans and their allies are present, militarily and diplomatically. us secretary of state anthony blink and puts it that way. state anthony blink and puts it that wa . ,, ., , ., , state anthony blink and puts it that wa. , way. the united states has a commitment _ way. the united states has a commitment to _ way. the united states has a commitment to taiwan i way. the united states has a commitment to taiwan that i way. the united states has a | commitment to taiwan that is rocksolid —— and tony blinken. and over many years has contributed to the maintenance and stability across the maintenance and stability across the taiwan strait and within the region. the taiwan strait and within the re . ion. ., ,, region. here we have the us alongside — region. here we have the us alongside japan, _ region. here we have the us alongside japan, the - region. here we have the us alongside japan, the uk, i region. here we have the us i alongside japan, the uk, canada, region. here we have the us - alongside japan, the uk, canada, the alongsidejapan, the uk, canada, the netherlands and new zealand, conducting naval exercises in the philippines see this month. there are also us military bases, the

7:32 am
what's changed? well, the chinese government is not known for explaining itself but there are reasons that perhaps it wanted to act now. the first is taiwan's president tsai ing—wen. she wants taiwan to be independent of china. this pro—beijing analysts leaves the show of power is in part a message to the taiwanese president. he also presents a second factor. that china is also being unreasonably provoked. the third possible reason for china's actions comes from retired us army general stanley mcchrystal.

7:34 am
undermine regional stability in east asia and even international order as know it. the stakes are high. here is more from howard zhang from bbc shanghai. the cost of war is of course one reason that countries pull back from conflict. but the risk remains was not even from chinese invasion or what may follow or a calculation all mistake that prompted an accidental war, from either side. and at the heart of this is a decision by china full of it was outlined by us security adviserjake sullivan when asked this by the bbc. do you think china will invade taiwan? i’m asked this by the bbc. do you think china will invade taiwan?— china will invade taiwan? i'm not auoin to china will invade taiwan? i'm not going to make — china will invade taiwan? i'm not going to make any _ china will invade taiwan? i'm not going to make any predictions. i china will invade taiwan? i'm not i going to make any predictions. what i'm going to make any predictions. what l'm going _ going to make any predictions. what i'm going to say is this. from the united _ i'm going to say is this. from the united states' perspective, there are certain under mental obligations and one _ are certain under mental obligations and one of— are certain under mental obligations and one of them is no unilateral

7:43 am
nowadays, where nobody knows exactly if it is still existing or not, stuff like this. newcastle fans will love it, of course, but for the rest of us it just means there is a new superpower in newcastle. manchester united manager ole gunnar solskjaer has said maybe now�*s the time for marcus rashford to "focus on his football." rashford could make his first appearance of the season at leicester, after recovering from shoulder surgery. rashford was made an mbe in the queen's birthday honours list last year, for his free school meals campaign, and while his manager has praised all his work and campaigning off the pitch, he's now urged him to concentrate on getting back into the team. at such a young age he has done so much for the team, and he did, he has done so much off the pitch as well. and i think that time away for
7:44 am
him was... was a time now, may be, to focus on himself, and get... i don't want to say get back to being himself, but you know, marcus rashford running around without enthusiasm, running in behind, not having to take on too responsibility, is a great site to see. west bromwich albion, are back on top of the championship after beating local rivals birmingham city 1—0. karlan grant scored the only goal of a tense game with 15 minutes left. that was enough for albion to go top. birmingham are without a win in five games now. what a finish it was to the rugby union premiership match at sale sharks last night. the champions harlequins thought they had done enough, to keep their unbeaten start to the season with a 2—point lead, with five minutes to go. but no, a tom curtis penalty put sale in front and then this last—gasp try from scrum half raffi quirke sealed a 28—22 win and moved sharks up

7:49 am
captainjames t kirk in the original series, took off from the texas desert with three other individuals. mr shatner�*s trip on the rocket system — developed by amazon founderjeff bezos — lasted about ten minutes. spectacular pictures, but bellerophon thought the bbc was... and dennis ess had another objection... on thursday, prince william spoke to newscast�*s adam fleming and expressed the view that saving the earth should be a higher priority than travelling into space.
7:50 am
the idea this space race is on at the moment, we have been seeing people try to get the space race on. the idea that we need some of the world's greatest brains and minds fixed on this purpose, not trying to find the next place to go. the interview took place to mark this weekend's awarding of the first earthshot prize, which the prince has launched to find solutions to climate change, and that timing prompted mcguinn to ask... but forjahnavi... that wasn't the only significant royal interview on the bbc this week. on monday, prince charles spoke tojustin rowlatt, newly appointed as the corporation's first climate editor, about how to effect changes in behaviour that will help the environment. is our government doing enough to make these things happen? i couldn't possibly comment.
7:51 am
it's true to say that you've got a pretty hefty carbon footprint. it must take a lot of gas to heat a palace. yes, it is, but i have tried for a very long time to make sure that the heating is done in a way that is sustainable as possible, electric cars, like my old aston martin, which i've had for 51 years, it runs on surplus english white wine. the interview brought this response from a former bbc royal correspondent, peter hunt... we put that point to bbc news, and they told us... a fortnight ago, we discussed the charge made by many
7:52 am
of you that the bbc, and other news media, had created queues at the petrol pumps by excessive reporting of fuel shortages — an accusation rejected on this programme by the bbc�*s deputy director of news, jonathan munro. now a similar criticism is being made, following broadcasts such as this on wednesday's news at six. don't panic buy, but do plan ahead for christmas, that is the message to shoppers from a global shipping boss who has warned that a shortage of hgv drivers is having a knock—on effect on ports around the uk. felixstowe is the biggest — it has 50,000 containers waiting to be collected, and ships are having to wait for up to ten days to unload. several viewers contacted us about that, and similar coverage elsewhere on bbc news, and two of them recorded videos for us — terry miles and, first, julie nash. once again, the bbc is reporting a shortage,
7:53 am
specifically this time that we're going to be short of things at christmas. you are repeating this over and every day this week. have you learned nothing from the fuel shortage situation you created by overreporting on this little localised temporary disruption? you started your wednesday 6pm news bulletin about the container hold—ups at felixstowe with the words don't panic buy. now we all know how well that worked when you use those words during the recent fuel shortages, so either the bbc news is incredibly naive, or it's being really irresponsible. well, i'mjoined now by paul royall, editor of bbc one�*s news bulletins. paul, what is the response to those viewers?
7:54 am
first of all, just to reassure viewers, that we do take a lot of care and pay a lot of attention to what we put in our programmes, and we make judgements about what we believe is newsworthy and what crosses the bar in terms of getting into those programmes, and in the case of wednesday, we had a series of quite significant figures from the shipping industry and also from the retail industry who were beginning to say things about the situation regarding the movement of goods and the supply of goods in shops, and we reported that. those words aren't our words, they're attributed to those who say them, and of course we make a judgement on whether we think they are newsworthy, and in this case we thought they were. paul, it's fair to assume that there are likely to be more supply chain news stories like this
7:55 am
in the coming weeks so does the bbc need to rethink how you cover them and if you might be contributing to panic? i think we've seen from what's going on at the international monetary fund in washington in the united states this week, the shortage and supply chain issues is a global issue and a global problem, and i don't think bbc news or other major news organisations can ignore that, this is, as a economics editor said, the plumbing of the world economy is not quite working at the moment, and what we have to do is report responsibly, assess statements that are made, claims that are made, and put them in the appropriate context, for the same time on wednesday, we reported very clearly, a carry on as normal from the government, a similar thing was said by the chancellor from washington, dc yesterday as well. paul, thank you for that. we also want to talk
7:56 am
to you about the daily reporting of covid statistics. here was thursday's on the news at six. the latest official coronavirus figures show there were 45,066 new infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period, the highest since the middle ofjuly. the average number of cases per day in the past week stands at just under 40,000. more than 7,024 people were in hospital with covid yesterday and another 157 deaths have been recorded, that the people who died within 28 days of a positive test. we've had some very specific complaints about this daily graphic. let's take them one by one. this is ian service, who emailed...
7:57 am
paul, has the bbc considered when you might no longer report that figure? yeah, no, we have, and what we're trying to do with the daily data is give audiences in news programmes that are half—an—hour long, a sort of relatively time efficient picture of what the current state of covid is across the uk, and we're making judgements the whole time about what is in and out of that data, but as we're seeing at the moment cases are going up again, and probably that will be followed, if similar patterns are followed, the deaths and hospitalisations will rise as well, so i don't think we're at the point yet where we dispense with the daily data, but we keep under review what we put in it. ian made the point as well that we don't give daily statistics on other conditions such as cancer, and one might talk about flu as we go into the winter season.
7:58 am
and that's a fair point and that's something we have discussed. again, i guess the difference with this is obviously covid—i9 is something new that we have all been having to deal with, and make judgements about, and hence why we still do the data for that, but we do still do periodically to pieces where for example, we might say that covid deaths or covid involved deaths were the biggest cause of death in the uk over the previous week, or previous time period, so we do try and give that wider context, but it's a fair point and it's one we do discuss, and try and keep in context. 0k. another e—mail now, from david greenwood. that is quite an important point,
7:59 am
isn't it, paul? some of those infections thanks to vaccinations might be mild, and isn't a significant stat the number of people in icus? it is a significant start but it's not when we get on a daily basis so again, we will periodically, when we get reliable information on things like that we will put that in but we don't necessarily get that on a daily basis from the government dashboard. one more concerned about whether we need more detail about vaccinations to interpret the official statistics. i was thinking, is there a public service argument for what robin is proposing? there is, and again, we don't get that on a daily basis, so even if we really wanted to,
8:00 am
i don't think we could. we do, when we get reliable information about the sorts of things and there was a piece a few weeks ago when we included that in a piece by a health editor to demonstrate how effective the vaccines are at preventing hospitalisation and death, so when we get that data, we use it. paul, thank you so much for coming on news watch. thanks for all your comments this week. good morning welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. our headlines today: police declare the killing of mp sir david amess as a terrorist incident, after he was stabbed to death during a constituency surgery. after he was stabbed to death our

8:02 am
breakfast. it's saturday the 16th of october. our top story: the killing of the conservative mp sir david amess has been declared as a terrorist incident, by police. sir david was stabbed multiple times during a constituency surgery in essex yesterday. officers say they are investigating a "potential link to islamist extremism" and are searching two addresses in the london area. a 25—year—old man remains in custody. the prime minister described sir david as, "one of the kindest, nicest, most gentle people in politics". here's our political correspondent, helen catt. in leigh—on—sea, worshippers came together to remember their mp. sir david amess had been a member of parliament in essex for 38 years. colleagues described him as a kind man, devoted to his
8:03 am
constituency of southend west. he made everybody feel valued and he listened, he was a good listener, you felt, well, people felt he represented them in the houses of parliament. he was at his happiest when he was helping people, he was a true servant and an inspiration. his heart was in his community, he really was, he was the best i constituency mp you could ever wish for. i it was there in the middle of the day at a different church in leigh—on—sea that he was stabbed multiple times. he had been holding one of his regular surgeries to meet constituents. police officers and paramedics tried to save him, but he died at the scene. a 25—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. last night police declared it was a terrorist incident. a tragic day for the family and colleagues of sir david, the community of southend and indeed for the whole of greater essex.
8:04 am
sir david has dedicated his life to serving the communities of essex and southend and he was simply dispensing his duties the when his life was horrifically cut short. it was five years ago that the labour mp jo cox was murdered in her constituency. the fatal attack on sir david has raised questions once again about the safety of mps. it's so hard, because we've got a job to do and i find myself now working a politician and trying to help people and trying to do good things for people and it's really important that we get good people in public life. but this is the risk that we are all taking you know and so many mps today will be scared by this. the speaker of the house of commons, who went ahead with his own constituency surgery last night, said security measures would need to be looked at. we have got to make sure the politicians are - safe, the people who work for them, |the family, the people of the housel of commons, we have seen- the terrorist attacks there as well.
8:05 am
what we won't do, we won't give l into it though, we will continue to ensure that democracy will be there. we have got to make sure we have that relationship with our electors. j but that is the unique part of the british politics. - but we have got to make sure mps are safe. - mps are expected to be contacted by their local police forces today. the home secretary has ordered an immediate review of their security. the flags in westminster are flying at half—mast for sir david amess, as questions are already being asked once again about how to keep his colleagues safe. helen catt, bbc news westminster. there have been so many tributes to sir david since the news broke yesterday. a little earlier we spoke to councillor kevin buck and fatherjeff woolnough, both friends of the mp from leigh—on—sea. they praised his kind and easy—going manner... he could put anyone at ease, he
8:06 am
would help anyone. he was always about helping others. he never did for himself. yes, he was just quite a remarkable man and a remarkable mp. w; a remarkable man and a remarkable mp. ~ , , ., , mp. my first thoughts with the church which _ mp. my first thoughts with the church which is _ mp. my first thoughts with the church which is just _ mp. my first thoughts with the church which isjust behind - mp. my first thoughts with the church which isjust behind us, belfairs, — church which isjust behind us, belfairs, methodist church. it has happened — belfairs, methodist church. it has happened on their ground and sacred space _ happened on their ground and sacred space and _ happened on their ground and sacred space and these things bring communities together and i was in touch, _ communities together and i was in touch, or— communities together and i was in touch, or a — communities together and i was in touch, ora man from communities together and i was in touch, or a man from a local muslim community— touch, or a man from a local muslim community called us yesterday to express— community called us yesterday to express their sincere condolences, they also— express their sincere condolences, they also knew sir david. this will bring _ they also knew sir david. this will bring the — they also knew sir david. this will bring the different faith groups together and make them strong. that is a good _ together and make them strong. that is a good thing and it won't extinguish the light of his smile either~ — extinguish the light of his smile either. that is what we have got to work _ either. that is what we have got to work on _ either. that is what we have got to work on we — either. that is what we have got to work on. we have got to work on some serious _ work on. we have got to work on some serious relationships between the faith communities that have lost their— faith communities that have lost their greatest supporter.
8:07 am
in a moment we will speak to our political correspondent peter saull, who is in downing street, but first to our home affairs correspondent dominic casciani who is in leigh—on—sea for us this morning. dominic, police have confirmed they are treating the killing as a terrorist incident — what more do we know? yes that's right, that news came last night after midnight from scotland yard that they have declared this as a terrorist incident. that means they believe that the killing was ideologically motivated, so that sir david was attacked for a political purpose to try to use violence to make some kind of point. in that context, it puts this dreadful incident into the same category as the awful killing in 2016 ofjo cox, when she was the mp for batley and she was attacked by a far right extremist. and in 2010 there was a similar terrorism
8:08 am
attack on stephen timms, an mp for labour, when he was attacked over someone who was an opponent to the iraq war. what that means is that the police can now actually bring n they have done already, just enormous resources from the counter terrorism policing network to drive this investigation to try to get to the heart of what they know about this citizen, who we understand is a british national, try to track his movements, understand exactly what led him to this point yesterday. thank you. our political correspondent peter saull is in downing street for us this morning. peter, sir david's death will no doubt raise concerns for the safety of mps. that's right, i think all politicians will be having this at
8:09 am
the forefront of their mind, not just because they have lost a colleague and friend, david amess was a very popular figures in the house of commons, but many politicians would have been doing the same yesterday, meeting staff and constituents. the prime minister borisjohnson was asked about this yesterday. it was put to him the that this was an attack on our democracy and it raises questions about mps' security. he didn't want to engage on that specific point, but he paid tribute to sir david amess. �* ,., . but he paid tribute to sir david amess. ~ ,., ., ., , but he paid tribute to sir david amess. ~ ., ., , ., ., amess. above all he was one of kindest, nicest, _ amess. above all he was one of kindest, nicest, most— amess. above all he was one of kindest, nicest, most gentle - amess. above all he was one of- kindest, nicest, most gentle people in politics— kindest, nicest, most gentle people in politics and he had an outstanding record of passing laws to help _ outstanding record of passing laws to help the most vulnerable, whether

8:11 am
were doing during the pandemic and holding surgeries online. thank were doing during the pandemic and holding surgeries online. over the next couple of hours we'll continue to talk to those who knew sir david, in westminster and in his constituency. questions are being raised around how the lab that recorded thousands of faulty covid—19 pcr results won a multi—million pound government contract to carry out testing. operations have been suspended at the private lab in wolverhampton and an investigation has been ordered into why it took a month to identify the failures. dante labs says its co—operating fully with the inquiry, but recognises a small number of customers faced challenges. a new nasa mission to study asteroids more than a billion miles from earth, gets underway this morning. over the next 12 years, the unmanned probe will examine space rocks around jupiter, in an effort to better understand how planets were formed.
8:12 am
our science correspondent, jonathan amos, reports. this is a mission that will take us back in time. nasa's lucy probe will seek out old asteroids more than a billion miles from earth, circling the sun in formation with the giant planet jupiter. they call these ancient objects trojans, city—sized lumps of rock that preserve the chemistry from the earliest days of the solar system. proof there was a reorganisation of planets more than four and after billion years ago. it planets more than four and after billion years ago.— billion years ago. it will help us test our solar _ billion years ago. it will help us test our solar system _ billion years ago. it will help us test our solar system models i billion years ago. it will help us l test our solar system models and give us an important piece of information and we can say, yes, there was a big scramble and everything flew every where, or no, that probably didn't happen and things are where they formed. it is
8:13 am
providing evidence towards testing these models of how we got here. lucy will visit seven trojan asteroids over the course of the next 12 years, taking pictures and careful measurements to send back to earth. jonathan amos, bbc news. fascinating, but a long way to wait. i love it is named lucy.— fascinating, but a long way to wait. i love it is named lucy. named after an ancient fossil. _ i love it is named lucy. named after an ancient fossil. you _ i love it is named lucy. named after an ancient fossil. you got _ i love it is named lucy. named after an ancient fossil. you got the - an ancient fossil. you got the briefin: an ancient fossil. you got the briefing notes! _ an ancient fossil. you got the briefing notes! matt - an ancient fossil. you got the briefing notes! matt has - an ancient fossil. you got the briefing notes! matt has the l an ancient fossil. you got the - briefing notes! matt has the weather for us. what a stunning sun rise! unbelievable. maybe an icy start for some in northern england and scotland. a fiery sun rise for a few. a beautiful shot from the west of london. a similar scene for many. a lot of cloud around this morning. cloud thick enough for some light rain in northern ireland and the south—east. mist and fog that we

8:38 am
playing on the mind some of the big names. liverpool kick off the weekend, with a lunch time kick off against watford, with claudio ranieiri, in charge for his first game there, but it's the new force in the north east that is on the mind of liverpool manager jurgen klopp. the premier league approved the £305 million saudi—led takeover of newcastle last week, after it had received legally binding assurances the saudi arabian state would not be in control. and klopp is also keen to make sure newcastle follow the rules of financial fair play. we had a massive argument — not an argument, an issue, i would say, the whole football world, with 12 clubs or so trying to build a super league. and rightly so. but this is kind of creating a super team, if you want. guaranteed spots in the champions league, in a few years' time, not immediately, all these kinds of things.
8:39 am
yeah, with all the things of how financial fair play is used nowadays, where nobody knows exactly if it is still existing or not, stuff like this. newcastle fans will love it, of course, but for the rest of us itjust means there is a new superpower in newcastle. no change yet. the same players take on tottenham tomorrow, and the same managerfor now. newcastle manager steve bruce says he'll carry on doing his job until he hears otherwise. there's been much speculation about his future following the takeover of the club. the game against tottenham tomorrow will be bruce's 1,000th match as a manager. his side are one off the bottom, and he turned the focus back on the media for all the speculation surrounding hisjob. there are brief ten minute conversation with the new owners where _ conversation with the new owners where we — conversation with the new owners where we talked about the team and we talked _ where we talked about the team and we talked about injuries and we talked — we talked about injuries and we talked about the training ground and we talked _ talked about the training ground and we talked about, it was very, very

8:41 am
with a two—point lead with five minutes to go. but no, a tom curtis penalty put sale in front and then this last—gasp try from scrum half raffi quirke sealed a 28—22 win and moved sharks, up to fourth in the table. now at around half past nine tonight, there could be another glorious moment for british tennis, as cameron norrie aims to reach the final of the indian wells masters tournament. it's live on bbc radio 5 live sports extra, and the new british number one is up against grigor dimitrov. norrie could even break into the world's top 20 for the first time and he is the form player this year, having won more atp matches in 2021 than world number one novak djokovic. now, time for a catch of the day. england's moeen ali was part of the victorious chennai super kings team, in the indian premier league final in dubai. ali blasted 37 off 20 balls, to help chennai to 192—3. in reply kolkata knight riders, captained by england t—20 skipper eoin morgan, collapsed to 165 for 9. this was part of the reason why, a
8:42 am
brilliant bit ofjuggling on the boundary. it's a fourth ipl win for the super kings. morgan will now focus on the t—20 world cup, which starts tomorrow, when bangladesh take on scotland at 3 o clock in al almarat. and england bowlerjames anderson says he would love their talisman ben stokes to come back into the fold, with the team leaving for the ashes in three weeks, but it can't be rushed. stokes has taken an indefinite break from the game to protect his mental health and has also been recovering from surgery to a finger, but there was great excitement this week when stokes posted a social media video of him batting again in the nets. it's totally on his hands. he's got to be 100% it's totally on his hands. he's got to be100% right before he comes back. he's got the full support of the team, and we willjust play it by ear, really. if he doesn't think he can play some sort of part in the ashes, then great, if not, then that's ok as well. we just want ben to be back to where he can be, because he is such a big playerfor
8:43 am
this team. jimmy anderson, i was with him all day yesterday because he was doing a chance to shine event yesterday, helping young kids into the sport. i faced him in the nets. we will be doing a special coming up on breakfast in the next couple of weeks, he is looking ahead to what could be his final ashes tour, so a lot to come. oblak eyes chris whitely like i had all the protective gear on! and it will be an exciting finish to the flat season at ascot today. find the flat season at ascot today. and cameron norrie, _ the flat season at ascot today. r"t:c cameron norrie, should we brace ourselves for another emma raducanu moment? he ourselves for another emma raducanu moment? . ourselves for another emma raducanu moment? , :, , :_ moment? he is the inform player, the wa he has moment? he is the inform player, the way he has been _ moment? he is the inform player, the way he has been playing, _ moment? he is the inform player, the way he has been playing, the - moment? he is the inform player, the way he has been playing, the new - way he has been playing, the new british number one when the rankings come out on monday, and every belief
8:44 am
that he can do what he has done to other players against grigor dimitrov. i don't want to jinx other players against grigor dimitrov. i don't want tojinx it. but it is a very different story to emma raducanu who burst onto the scene as a teenager, it has been a slow build of the cameron norrie, 26 now and reaching his peak, hopefully. five live sports extra tonight at 9:30pm. thank you, mike. a story for you now about history and heritage and how we remember. the future of a statue of the explorer, sir henry morton stanley, is being put to a public vote in his hometown of denbigh. the welsh adventurer is known for his nineteenth century explorations in africa — but his reputation has been damaged by accusations of violence. george herd has been finding out more. henry morton stanley, a proud son of denbigh. he famously found the missing missionary, david livingstone, in tanzania in the 1870s, uttering those immortal words, "dr livingstone, i presume?" but some say the reputation
8:45 am
of stanley has been tarnished. accusations of excessive violence during his explorations and then opening up the congo to the brutal regime of king leopold ii of belgium, a regime under which millions of black africans died. last year in the wake of george floyd's murder in america and protests sweeping britain, statues started to topple. in wales, a marble of slave owner sir thomas picton was covered up in cardiff, while petitions against stanley attracted attention here. but some say the explorer should be recognised for his achievements. abandoned at birth and raised in a workhouse before setting off to america to make his fortune. hisjournalism, his writing, was a feat in itself when you consider his background, and then his explorations. he was able to prove where the source of the nile and the source of the congo was. others believe stanley's bronze should be moved and reinterpreted
8:46 am
alongside the facts we know about his past. he is one of ours, and you can't wipe out history, and that's an important thing. we've got to learn from this, and by learning the facts about him, or proposed facts, then we will learn about him and people can make their own opinion. one thing is certain. those voting today have strong opinions about stanley and his statue. history's history, isn't it? we don't know, do we? i mean, there would be no statues left if everybody brought everything down in this country now, whether? it should be relocated with the knowledge now that everybody's got of his past, with the right intention as well. there's been a steady flow of people turning out to vote. it will then be up to denbigh town council to decide what happens to the statue of henry morton stanley. george herd, bbc news.
8:47 am
really interesting, conversations like that they had up and down the country. that voting goes on this weekend, and we will bring you the result. about an hour ago, matt had that beautiful sunrise shot to share with us. what is happening out there this morning? we've lost you in the fog! this is a different shot than we showed you earlier, a contrast to the conditions of any sort of you yesterday. if it does feel chilly, it is just a testament to how warm october has been so far, these temperatures are close to the mid—october average, temperatures are close to the mid—octoberaverage, but the temperatures are close to the mid—october average, but the milder air is fighting back once again, and by the time we hit tuesday, the peak of the warmth, we will see temperatures widely across the uk in the upper teens and low 20s, although warmth doesn't necessarily
8:48 am
mean lots of sunshine, as i will show you. there is some sunshine around away from foggy spots, a lot more cloud, and the milder air is here towards the south—west, chilly conditions, and the coldest night of autumn last night. but that milder air is coming with this cloud, pushing its way northwards. that will push into northern ireland in western scotland later today. down towards the south—east, a little patchy light rain or drizzle, but most places starting dry, the odd shower in the north of scotland. the mist and fog in the south—west were clear, sunny spells into the afternoon, and the cloud starts to bring rain into western scotland and northern ireland later. the milder and is creeping its way northwards, getting up to the likes of liverpool, hulland getting up to the likes of liverpool, hull and belfast, getting up to the likes of liverpool, hulland belfast, but getting up to the likes of liverpool, hull and belfast, but the far north of england, scotland, we stay with those cooler conditions, although temperatures around the average for the time of year. through this evening and overnight,
8:49 am
chilly conditions remain, clearer skies here, and in between throughout this evening, scotland, northern ireland, a bit of a soggy evening, that rain spread into northern england, the midlands and wales later in the night and into tomorrow morning, but it does mean temperatures will drop away, a much milder night as we go through sunday morning. if you are up early, scotland, parts of england and wales, a damp start, a dry start with sunshine toward southern coastal counties, a dry start with sunshine in the far north of scotland but even if you start with outbreaks of rain, optimistic skies will brighten into the afternoon. sunny spells, one or two showers later on at a temperature starting to lift higher than they are this afternoon. beyond that, warmer air pushes in through monday and into tuesday, and because of this whirling area of low pressure dominating, but will throw weather fronts with outbreaks of rain our way, and the milder air coming up on the southerly winds. so a quick look at what is in store next week, a
8:50 am
capital city forecast, the symbols indicate a fairly changeable week, rain at times, some of which will be heavy, windy conditions on wednesday, but temperatures 21 in london, 18 in edinburgh, but 11 or 12 by friday, so the colder air back by the end of the week. a sharp asharp dip a sharp dip next week, thank you, matt. that leads us onto this story! it really does. david wightman will hoping this weekend is rather less dramatic than last! and probably that this weekend's where there will be better than last. a week ago he got lost in the cairngorms mountains in the scottish highlands and spent two nights waiting to be rescued. david was left exposed to the elements — at the mercy of the mountains — after getting separated from his friend. here's what happened next. a moment ofjoy after a weekend from hell. david's survival for two nights out in the cairngorms was down to luck and mild weather after he got
8:51 am
separated from his hiking partner. rescue teams were also out combing the hills, aided by colin's knowledge of their route. the two gentleman had a very detailed route plan, which made coordinating the search for the braemar team a lot easier, i believe, and it certainly helped us as well. so we could kind of home in on the likely spots where they were going to be. but it does, even with that level of planning, just the slightest little mistakes can lead like this to unplanned nights out on the hill. back at home, david's family were struggling, with no word from him after the second night exposed to the elements. his son using social media to spread the word of his dad's disappearance. it was coming on to three days missing. he'd slept outside for two nights, he was telling me. and that morning, i wasjust... i don't know, i was out of breath, i was inconsolable, i was breaking down. in my head i'd decided that i wasn't going to see my dad again.
8:52 am
but luck was on his side, david was met by a group of students who already knew who he was. rescue teams all agree that david was incredibly lucky to survive not one but two nights out on these hills. and with winterjust around the corner, and even now there is a real chill in the air, the advice is to be prepared, because these hills and mountains right across scotland can be fatal. well, we'rejoined now by david and colin. the advice was to be prepared. you were prepared, won't you? for the advice was to be prepared. you were prepared, won't you?- were prepared, won't you? for the most part- — were prepared, won't you? for the most part- we _ were prepared, won't you? for the most part. we had _ were prepared, won't you? for the most part. we had the _ were prepared, won't you? for the most part. we had the right - were prepared, won't you? for the most part. we had the right gear, | were prepared, won't you? for the i most part. we had the right gear, we had the right — most part. we had the right gear, we had the right planning. _ most part. we had the right gear, we had the right planning. in _ most part. we had the right gear, we had the right planning. in theory, - had the right planning. in theory, people _ had the right planning. in theory, people knew where we were in the vicinity _ people knew where we were in the vicinity. and that was fine until something went wrong.- vicinity. and that was fine until something went wrong. david, so glad ou are something went wrong. david, so glad you are here — something went wrong. david, so glad you are here safe _ something went wrong. david, so glad you are here safe and _ something went wrong. david, so glad you are here safe and sound. - something went wrong. david, so glad you are here safe and sound. so - something went wrong. david, so glad you are here safe and sound. so this i you are here safe and sound. so this time last week, paint a picture for
8:53 am
us of the situation you were in. this time last week i spent one night on the plateau in the cairngorms, and it was pretty uncomfortable sleeping on a granite rock, basically, with my rucksack as a windbreak and huddled up as best i could. , :, :, :, could. very fortunate air temperature _ could. very fortunate air temperature was - could. very fortunate air temperature was up - could. very fortunate air temperature was up for| could. very fortunate air i temperature was up for the could. very fortunate air - temperature was up for the time could. very fortunate air _ temperature was up for the time of year, which was a blessing. the next thing i was able to do was just look where i was on my online map on my phone before my phone gave up, and despite trying to recharge it, that was impossible because of the moisture in the charger. so based on the little knowledge i had in the time i had, i decided one thing i had to do was get off the plateau down to the valley, which i managed
8:54 am
to do through that day, and felt i was heading in the right direction to the shelter, which was our destination the night before. unfortunately, i took the wrong turning at a fork in the river, i should have carried on the right—hand side and i turned into the left—hand valley and spent the day trying to find the shelter that i thought ought to be there and wasn't there, so... i thought ought to be there and wasn't there, so. . .— i thought ought to be there and wasn't there, so... how did you not anic? wasn't there, so... how did you not panic? at — wasn't there, so... how did you not panic? at any _ wasn't there, so... how did you not panic? at any point _ wasn't there, so... how did you not panic? at any point where - wasn't there, so... how did you not panic? at any point where you - panic? at any point where you panicked? i would panic? at any point where you panicked? iwould imagine panic? at any point where you panicked? i would imagine retaining your composure is really important, but so hard. it your composure is really important, but so hard-— but so hard. it is not easy, but you are spending _ but so hard. it is not easy, but you are spending all— but so hard. it is not easy, but you are spending all your _ but so hard. it is not easy, but you| are spending all your concentration and making sure you're not going to fall over the next piece of rocks sticking out or tripping over some bracken, so you are concentrating your whole effort on trying to move in what you think is the right direction, so the opportunity for panic, despite the length of time, is pretty low. he

putting a smile on people's faces as they cook. the time now is 9.35, and it has been a difficult 24 hours in the uk and in british politics following the fatal attack on the conservative mp sir david amess in essex. in the last half hour, the prime minister has visited the scene of yesterday's fatal attack on conservative mp, sir david amess. borisjohnson wasjoined by labour leader, sir keir starmer, and the home secretary priti patel at belfairs methodist church. the speaker of the house, sir lindsay hoyle, was there as well. they were among a number of visitors laying flowers and paying their tributes to sir david. police say they are treating the incident as a terrorist incident. they are searching several addresses, and a 25—year—old man

pay tribute to this, if you wanted to launch a campaign, sir david amess was one of the ones you would need on your side, because he knew how to run a great campaign. we all know about the campaign to make southend a city, and i hope that happens now because it would be the best legacy that he could leave if the government were to bring that about. but he had so many other campaigns, a real record of achievement, and there are lots of individual mps in the house of commons that you could say the same about, and it is such a shame that it is only at times like this that we have these conversations. perhaps we have these conversations. perhaps we ought to think about particularly we ought to think about particularly we in the media ought to think about maybe sometimes showcasing some of the good work that individual mps do rather than just concentrate on the political to—and—fro. it is rather than just concentrate on the political to-and-fro._ political to-and-fro. it is a good oint, political to-and-fro. it is a good point. because _ political to-and-fro. it is a good point, because there _ political to-and-fro. it is a good point, because there is - political to-and-fro. it is a good point, because there is so - political to-and-fro. it is a good point, because there is so much political to-and-fro. it is a good i point, because there is so much of it. and you went on a delegation with him over to qatar. was he one of those mps who put party colours

9:45 am
were attacked in their constituency surgeries, and in nigeljones's case, his assistant andrew pennington lost his life because of it. it is symbolic, but i think there has to be more than symbolism here. it is impossible to make every mp safe at their surgeries without destroying that personal relationship between the constituent and the mp. you can't have a piece of bullet—proof glass or something like that in front of you. it is like that in front of you. it is like the difference between mps doing covid, doing zoom consultations rather than meeting face—to—face, it is not the same. and i can't think of a single mp who would want a police officer standing next to them while they were in their surgery. next to them while they were in theirsurgery. so next to them while they were in their surgery. so there is always going to be an element of risk, and there will be lots of enquiries, lots of warm words, but in the end, most mps will accept that they go into the job knowing that there is this unfortunate side to people, and that they will be at risk. i hope
9:46 am
that they will be at risk. i hope that doesn't deter good people from going into politics, because the natural reaction for aspiring politicians' families is to say, why are you doing this? why would you put yourself at risk by doing this job? but if nobody does the job, we will get the politicians we deserve, as the phrase goes, because it will be left of the obsessive, and we want good people from different backgrounds to want to go into politics, to aspire to go into politics, to aspire to go into politics, but this kind of thing obviously will put some people are. thank you both forjoining us on bbc breakfast this morning, reflecting on the death of sir david amess, and overnight it has become the case that police are now treating this as a terrorist incident. time now is 9:46am. in just over a fortnight�*s time, the uk will welcome the world's leaders to the un climate change conference, known as cop 26. we are going to hear an awful lot about it in the next four weeks! the event is seen as a huge
9:47 am
opportunity for more than 190 countries to commit to policies that will tackle climate change. the issue is something that is close to the royal family's heart, with the queen, prince charles and prince william recently expressing their concerns. the narrative has changed, and lots of the things that you said are now mainstream. it of the things that you said are now mainstream-— mainstream. it is taking far too lonu. mainstream. it is taking far too long- they _ mainstream. it is taking far too long- they are _ mainstream. it is taking far too long. they are gathering - mainstream. it is taking far too i long. they are gathering together mainstream. it is taking far too - long. they are gathering together in glasaow long. they are gathering together in glas . ow to long. they are gathering together in glasgow to talk... _ long. they are gathering together in glasgow to talk... but _ long. they are gathering together in glasgow to talk... but the _ long. they are gathering together in glasgow to talk... but the problem | glasgow to talk... but the problem is they just — glasgow to talk... but the problem is they just talk, _ glasgow to talk... but the problem is they just talk, and _ glasgow to talk... but the problem is theyjust talk, and we _ glasgow to talk... but the problem is theyjust talk, and we need - is theyjust talk, and we need action, — is theyjust talk, and we need action, which is what i've been trying — action, which is what i've been trying to— action, which is what i've been trying to do for the last 40 years. chitdren— trying to do for the last 40 years. children love playing and chasing in sport and all that sort of stuff, and they have a true appreciation of what we are going to miss and what we are letting down than many of the adults, and that is where a bit of the disconnect is happening, is that those adults in position of responsibility are not channelling their inner child.
9:48 am
the queen overheard this week ending that little look at how the royals have been reacting to cop26. bob ward is a climate change analyst from the london school of economics, and will be attending cop26. hejoins us now. lovely to see you, a busy couple of weeks ahead for you. people will be asking, what does it mean, what tangible change could come from this? because it is one of those existential causes at the moment thatis existential causes at the moment that is causing people at lot of fear. this is an annual meeting of governments that has been taking place every year since 1992 when the original treaty was signed by countries on climate change, and there are two key issues that will dominate the next few weeks leading up dominate the next few weeks leading up to cop26. the first is around the paris agreement, the second is around the relationships between poor and rich countries. the paris agreement is a landmark agreement where countries agreed to limit
9:49 am
global warming to well below 2 c degrees. we have already had 1 , and although these don't sound much, thatis although these don't sound much, that is global average temperature, and the difference between the temperature today and in the last ice age is only 5, temperature today and in the last ice age is only 5 , so it makes all the difference. at the moment we are not on target to keep to that target. the emissions pledges have been put forward so far by governments for 20 or 30 or more consistent with warming of 2.7 by the end of the century, which would be disastrous.— be disastrous. obviously the pre-talks — be disastrous. obviously the pre-talks would _ be disastrous. obviously the pre-talks would be - be disastrous. obviously the pre-talks would be under i be disastrous. obviously the l pre-talks would be under way be disastrous. obviously the - pre-talks would be under way for pre—talks would be under way for some time, and it doesn't look right, does it? it is hard to see that this is going to lead to any massive agreement at the moment, because there are a lot of differences between the countries. we are talking about fundamental changes to our whole way of living, and we have to get rid of fossil fuels, the way in which we generate energy, we are going to have to make
9:50 am
a move to cleaner forms of energy and cleaner ways of living. we know how to do it, but it is going to be a challenging time, and we are in a world where there are lots of tension is going on, disagreements about lots of issues, but i think all governments really are committed and so that is why they are all gathering in glasgow and we will probably see many world leaders there to talk about how we can move forward together. son despondency around china's role and the extent to which it has so far refused to commit to the same standards as the other nations. to what extent is that valid, people are saying what is the point of china is not on board.- are saying what is the point of china is not on board. china is the world's biggest — china is not on board. china is the world's biggest emitter _ china is not on board. china is the world's biggest emitter of - world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, they do matter, and they will be in glasgow but there has been discussions about whether president xi jinping will be there or the premier. but what is really important is that we all accept that we all have to cut our emissions, effectively to zero. the best way of persuading china to move faster is by us leading by example.
9:51 am
it is not going to work if we say, we are going to start dragging our feet. when i talk to chinese researchers, they want to know about the things the uk is doing. we have cut our emissions by 44% since 1990, and our economy has grown by 75% over that in that period, which is an important lesson that you do not have to sacrifice your economy to tackle climate change. it is have to sacrifice your economy to tackle climate change.— tackle climate change. it is a different sort _ tackle climate change. it is a different sort of— tackle climate change. it is a different sort of economy, i tackle climate change. it is a . different sort of economy, mass production is what behind their search, it difficult to know how you can tell that economic growth with reducing emissions. taste can tell that economic growth with reducing emissions.— reducing emissions. we can do it because we _ reducing emissions. we can do it because we have _ reducing emissions. we can do it because we have a _ reducing emissions. we can do it because we have a modern - reducing emissions. we can do it - because we have a modern economy and we know how to change our energy system. we have managed to get rid of mostly get rid of coal as a source of power, and we have introduced renewables. we have nuclear. but china is a growing country, developing country, it wants to bring people out of poverty and is relying very heavily on coal, but it realises that coal is not just bad for them because of climate change but because it causes local air pollution which is killing lots
9:52 am
of people around the world, 7 million people a year die from local air pollution around the world. that is startling. you sound a bit more optimistic than i was expecting. more optimistic than i was expecting-_ more optimistic than i was ex - ectin . . . ., , expecting. the alternative is dismal! so _ expecting. the alternative is dismal! so we _ expecting. the alternative is dismal! so we have - expecting. the alternative is dismal! so we have no - expecting. the alternative is i dismal! so we have no choice. we will speech i'm sure over the next couple of weeks, because cop26 starts in glasgow in a fortnight, and it takes a couple of weeks after that. thank you. it is 9.52. the battle for the strictly glitterball continues tonight, with eleven couples taking to the dancefloor for week four of the compeition. however, there'll be some noticable absenses — former rugby player ugo monye will miss this week due to back problems. no wonder after his dance next week! while comedian robert webb announced on wednesday that he was pulling out of the entire series. it comes after a high scoring —
