palace, it was such a momentous occasion. and meeting the queen is, you know, it's a mixture of honour and terror. don't want to get this wrong. what did she mean to you? more now than ever, weirdly, she's always been a motherly figure that is the head of our nation, and it's provided some sort of safety over the years that you don't realise is happening until she passes away. and then i think she becomes even more important. i don't think there could have been anybody on the planet that would have done as good a job as she did for the job she was asked to do, which is, yeah, incredible.

robbie williams was talking to colin patterson. time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. let me entertain you for the next two and a half minutes. not many songs i could have chosen, a few dodgy titles there. we will be warming up in the next few days mainly because the wind direction is changing, more of a southerly breeze. later in the week, a band of rain will come down from the north—west, from the atlantic, and it is this cloud here that will bring the rain. that is continuing to thicken, still a long way off. ahead of that, i thin a band of cloud threatening rain in the north—west. many parts still have cloudy skies like yesterday. thin in places, a bit of sunshine around, especially across southern counties of england, parts of wales and northern ireland. most places will be fine and dry, 17—19 c, warmer than yesterday. this evening and overnight, a lot of cloud will break

up, so clearer spells developing. still the potential for some rain up, so clearer spells developing. still the potentialfor some rain in the far north—west of scotland. otherwise i think it will be drive. temperatures will be 8—9 c, perhaps lower in rural areas, and there could be mist and fog patches to start the day in england and wales. sunshine more widely to start the day tomorrow, then cloud will build up, spread out and limit the sunshine in the afternoon. if there is any rain, it is more likely to be in the north—west of scotland again. southerly breezes picking up a notch or two, southerly breezes picking up a notch ortwo, dragging in warmerair. temperatures could make 21 celsius around the moray firth and in east anglia and the south—east of england. the rain is coming from this weather front england. the rain is coming from this weatherfront here, england. the rain is coming from this weather front here, and that will start to change things later in the week. rain coming in overnight across scotland and northern ireland. during thursday, that will track over the irish sea into northern england and wales. ahead of

it, some sunshine but the cloud will increase again during the day. 20 or 21 celsius in east anglia, quite warm. sunshine after the rain for scotland and northern ireland, but things cooling off a little here because we are getting more of a north—westerly breeze, bringing cooler air, following that weather front, which is moving slowly across england and wales and pushing away the warmer air on those southerly breezes. we've got this rain here in england and wales that will probably come to rest on friday across east anglia and the south—east of ingle. elsewhere, cleaner air, anglia and the south—east of ingle. elsewhere, cleanerair, more elsewhere, cleaner air, more sunshine, elsewhere, cleanerair, more sunshine, but a few showers, mainly for northern ireland and northern and north—western parts of scotland. temperatures not quite as high, typically 16 or 17 celsius. jane. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

1:38 pm
stories on the website, a day of an important domestic cricket as well, so head to the website for details on all of that. also on the app. i will be back with more sport in the next hour. you are still watching bbc news. we will take a look at some of the other stories making the news here this lunchtime. rescue workers injapan have warned of mudslides and flooding, in the wake of super—typhoon nanmadol, which struck the north eastern coast of the country. it killed at least 4 people but has now been downgraded to a cyclone. our correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes in tokyo sent us the latest. as you say, the typhoon has now been downgraded and has broken up over northern japan. but for the last three days, it really has been a monster, monster storm, the likes of which japan has rarely seen, only a handful of other times a storm of this size
1:39 pm
in the last half century. and it's hit the southern island of kyushu on sunday. and then it has just churned right across the whole of japan over the last two and a half days and really bringing very destructive winds, 150 mile an hourwinds, over 200 kilometre an hour winds, which have caused quite a lot of damage to electricity supplies and structural damage. but really, the big thing has been the amount of rain, really astonishing amounts of rain have fallen over western and centraljapan. in kyushu, they measured more than 70 centimetres of rain falling on sunday and into monday. and even in honshu, a0 centimetres of rain fell yesterday over western parts of honshu. so that's been the major problem causing a lot of local flooding. there is a concern still about the possibility of landslides and mudslides. as you said, the toll from this has been fortunately very small in terms
1:40 pm
of loss of human life. but it really has caused massive disruption right across japan for the last three days. what are scientists saying about linking this with climate change? well, they're absolutely linking it to climate change and also to the la nina phenomenon in the pacific ocean. this year, we're in a la nina year which will have exacerbated the size of this typhoon. but really, this is part of a trend which we're very clearly seeing. the data is very apparent. in the late 1970s, the pacific ocean used to produce about one super typhoon a year. now we are seeing between four and five super typhoons developing in the western pacific every year. and that trend is expected to increase. not only are these storms getting bigger and more frequent, but they are moving further north away from the equator towards japan, china and the korean peninsula. and so this part of the world isjust getting battered more often by bigger storms. could italy — a founding
1:41 pm
member of the eu and its third—largest economy — be about to swing to the far right? that's what the polls suggest ahead of sunday's election, with giorgia meloni likely to become italy's first woman prime minister and first far—right leader since mussolini. as our italy correspondent mark lowen reports, it's dividing views across the country. catching the votes is no mean feat in palermo's ballaro market, where passions are culinary, not political. "i'm sick of those scoundrels," he said. "i'm not voting," she says — "they only think of themselves." in vibrant sicily, there is appetite for change, and the far—right brothers of italy of giorgia meloni looks set on it. sonia has never voted until now. translation: i like the right wing's
1:42 pm
anti-migrant policy. _ i am not racist, but it's a mess when the people of colour here fight. meloni attracts me because she's a woman, a mum, and has grit. we women are the strongest, we'll change the mood here. that's echoed in the zen neighbourhood, one of europe's most deprived — youth unemployment at 80%. a citizen income's, a hand—out for the poor, helped the populist five star movement win the last election. but many say it hasn't solved the root problem and are changing their vote. translation: we hoped five star would change things. _ but they were all talk and no action, and there are still no jobs. translation: | think |'u go - for meloni, because we want this area cleaned up so it's safer at night. you can't even get rid of the rubbish because it's swarming with rats. across the country, in the northern city of modena, politics of a different flavour at the festival of the centre—left. tastes and debates are different here, focused on how
1:43 pm
to stop the far right. away from meloni land, here they worry that her conservative nationalism could endanger liberal democracy. italy is as divided as it is diverse, a country always swung between governments and ideologies of every colour — in a constant search for its political identity. meloni's identity, she says, is not fascist but socially conservative, roaring yes to the natural family, no to the lgbt lobby at a rally of her spanish far—right allies. that strikes fear into italy's same—sex families. we are more than scared. we are terrified. giorgia meloni's strategy is to define enemies. she seems all the time angry. angry with people that don't represent her idea of society.
1:44 pm
but i think that, in this society, there should be a place for everyone. that's a democracy. and so a choice about the country they will grow up in — which way it looks, and how free they will feel. mark lowen, bbc news, in a divided italy. like many countries across europe, spain is struggling with the rising cost of living. the government of socialist, pedro sanchez, has taken a range of initiatives in an effort to mitigate the impact of soaring prices, but it's under pressure to go further. guy hedgecoe reports from madrid. commuters in northern madrid make the most of a new government scheme, offering free train travel on shorterjourneys. this measure, which will remain in place across spain over the next four months, aims to help counter the spiralling cost of living.
1:45 pm
the petrol cost is really high right now and this initiative or this opportunity is saving a lot of money for people because for instance, in my case i am going by car every day, twice a week, 60 kilometres per day to go by train forforfree. what i see, especially in people my age, is that we make we don't make a lot of money because salaries are not very high. in recent months, spanish inflation has been hovering around 10%, with rising fuel and energy costs a particular concern. the free rail travel initiative is just one of several measures the spanish government has taken recently in an effort to try and counter the rising cost of living. since april, a discount of 20 euro cents per litre has been offered at petrol pumps funded by the government and energy companies. and more recently, vat on gas was slashed to 5%.
1:46 pm
electricity and gas now cost 50% more than a year ago. this has helped push up the price of products such as food, which has increased by 14%. translation: prices have gone up. everything is costing more, whether it's olive oil or electricity or water. so we've put prices up. it's been a perfect storm. salaries don't go up, but the prices go up. we're all up to our necks. leftist coalition government of pedro sanchez says it's doing everything possible to protect consumers, but it's facing mounting pressure to do more. in this recent parliamentary debate, the opposition said the government's measures to combat inflation were barely having any effect. earlier this year, haulage workers staged a strike over fuel prices. more protests are being prepared as workers demand wage rises to match inflation.
1:47 pm
translation: nobody thought that inflation was going - to shoot up like this. we're going to combine negotiation with protests on the street with the ultimate aim of ensuring that the salaries of the workers of this country maintain their purchasing power. while the government braces itself for a wave of social discontent this autumn, spanish families are preparing for more hardship. guy hedgecoe, bbc news, madrid. the headlines on bbc news... the funeral is taking place this lunchtime for ashley dale who was
1:48 pm
shot dead in her garden in liverpool last month. police believe the 28—year—old was the victim of mistaken identity. eight people have been questioned about her murder but no one has been charged. this report was sent from the city's anglican cathedral whether service is being held. family and friends of ashley dale gathered here at liverpool's anglican cathedral to say their last goodbyes. she was murdered on sunday the 21st of august at her home in old swan. police believe it was a case of mistaken identity. sadly it is something that has hidden the country in the past, stepbrother also killed in a case mistaken identity. the family has asked for donation to the livable charity to support families were relieved by murder. at the time the council leader nearby paid tribute to what he described as a rising star within
1:49 pm
the council. colleagues left flowers on a desk in tribute to the woman who was killed. four people have been arrested on suspicion of ashley's murderer, three have been released on conditional bail and one, pending further inquiries, four others, two men and two egg women have arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. nobody has been charged with election to the murder, police are keen to hearfrom anyone who may be able to help with the investigation. as the new prime minister prepares to announce plans to help households and businesses deal with rising energy, charities are coming up with ideas to help people who are struggling to make ends meet. one charity is opening a hub to help people stay warm . anna o'neill has been taking a look. it's a library, it's a workspace. and now this community space
1:50 pm
is to become a warm bank somewhere for people to go who can't afford to switch the heating on over the winter. but that's not how its founder describes it. if we have redesigned this whole area as what we call a living room. we don't want it to be a heat bank or a warm bank because that's a bit demeaning. it takes away from people's dignity. as you'll see, people just sat around now. they're rich and they're poor and they're young and they're old. and you just come here because you come here. you don't have to say i've come for the warmth. you can say i've come here to use my laptop. that's exactly what people like norah dean and dwayne are doing. sometimes you need a change of scenery. this is a very brilliant place that can provide this weather it will be more crucial during the heating crisis or not. i mean, it remains to be seen. we get a lot of homeless people
1:51 pm
and we get a lot of people - with mental health needs. immigration needs people that need help with their pip. _ young people that come in because we've got. the school next door, _ but majority of all will be homeless people that would really benefit from this space.| the centre also helps people like barry, who's blind and his guide dog dandy. i come in because after i run my guide dog in the park, i come in for a coffee, a rest. there's water supply for him and i also come in here for information. they've helped me get certain things, like i can't use a computer and they've helped me find a charity that does my shopping online for me. every winter is a crisis and there has been for a long time. it's just that what's happening this winter with the cost of living crisis is a crisis for more of us. and so we're waking up to the fact of what it's been like for some people, the poorest 10%, perhaps for many years now. the new prime minister's announcement of a household energy cap won't necessarily allay fears for all londoners about how they will stay both warm
1:52 pm
and in credit this winter. over the weekend, videos and images of the upcoming instalment in the grand theft auto series, gta 6, were leaked online in one of the biggest data breaches in gaming history. it led to shares in the company behind the game dropping, at one point, by 6%. ellie gibson is a gamesjournalist, and told us how significant grand theft auto is. well, it's absolutely massive. it's one of the biggest game franchises in the world, hugely popular. the last game was actually released nine years ago, so the anticipation for this sixth instalment in the series has been building for quite a while now. and so this leak then how big of a deal is it? again, a massive dealfor the gaming
1:53 pm
community and also for the company rockstar, who make the game. community and also for the company obviously it's nearly an hour of footage that's been released and that's quite a lot. and it's early footage. so it's stuff from the game that's in development we think from a few years ago. so it's not really showing off the game at its best. it's quite unpolished and it's taken a lot of flack amongst the community from people saying, look, this isn't really good enough for grand theft auto game. and of course, that's not really necessarily a fair criticism because it's not a finished game. yeah. so i mean, obviously people will, you would assume, accept and understand that because there's some way to go before the release. so in terms of the damage done by this leak, what would it be? well, there's two issues here. there's the issue with the damage done by the leak in terms of pr, because this is a company like most video game companies, that likes to very tightly control how it unveils its game and kind of drip feed the content to consumers. but there's also the issue of the source code that's been made. so the source code is kind of literally the thing that that runs
1:54 pm
the game, the nuts and bolts of the game, if you like. and if that has been leaked, then it means that rockstar�*s rivals could potentially look under the bonnet of the game and kind of see how it works, potentially steal some of the trademark ideas that make it so successful. and we saw that the shares had dropped at one point by 6%. that doesn't sound like a huge loss of faith. no, not hugely. again, i think this is one of the biggest game franchises in the world. excitement for it is so big, i'm not sure this is going to knock it in the long term in terms of sales. but i think definitely shareholders will be asking questions about how this breach happened, how the hack occurred, and what's going to be done in the future to prevent more hacks occurring. you mentioned the anticipation for the next in the series. it's nine years since the last one. why does it take so long for there to be updates? well, these games are absolutely huge. i mean, kind of physically almost in terms of these game worlds that exist within grand theft auto, they're massive.
1:55 pm
and also the way you play the games, these aren't linear games, they're open world games. so you're creating entire virtual environments where people have to be free to roam around. and the quality of polish is very, very high in terms of the voice acting and the animations and the missions that you have to do in the gameplay mechanics. all of those elements are done to a very, very high standard in the grand theft auto games, and that takes a huge amount of time to get right. so the company has obviously done what it can to take the leaked material offline. and what's the sort of understanding as to how it may have leaked ? well, they think there's this hacker who's previously he's hacked into uber, also via slack, which is the messaging app that these companies use to manage their work. so that's they think how the hacker, he or she has got in. and so yeah, it's really about what happens now. if this can happen to rockstar, then potentially could it happen to any other video games company
1:56 pm
or indeed any company? and are they confident that they've dealt with the security issues? what have they said? well, rockstar are notoriously private when it comes to not just the pr of their games, but also what's going on internally in terms of corporate management. but we do know they've come down very hard on this hacker in terms of they've gone around all the websites, all the forums, trying to get them to take down this material, which they're legally entitled to do because they do own the footage that's been leaked. they do have the copyright. so, yes, they've gone in very strong in terms of getting getting it all taken down. but of course, that's difficult because once something's on the internet, it's out there and it gets shared and it's very difficult to get it back in. confirmation from the rmt about the next rail strike. the confirmation from the rmt about the next rail strike.— next rail strike. the next rail strike will — next rail strike. the next rail strike will be _ next rail strike. the next rail strike will be on _ next rail strike. the next rail strike will be on october- next rail strike. the next rail strike will be on october the| next rail strike. the next rail i strike will be on october the 1st next rail strike. the next rail - strike will be on october the 1st is part of this long—running row about
1:57 pm
job security, pay and working conditions. it will be a 24—hour action, it is workers on a network rail and four action, it is workers on a network railand fourtrain action, it is workers on a network rail and four train operating companies. it had been floated that would be the next day but we were waiting on confirmation and that, i can see it now, 1st of october is the next 24—hour rail strike. much more coming up on that and all of the rest of the day's news from tpm. right now it is whether time. this weekend things will start to turn a little bit colder, but for a while over the next few days, things are looking a bit warmer, mainly because we have a southerly breeze developing full stop late in the week we will have some rain coming in from the atlantic. at the moment thatis in from the atlantic. at the moment that is a long way off a sitting further away and most of the rain now is affecting the far north—west of scotland, showers in northern england are moving away and these are the temperatures by the end of the afternoon. 17 to 19 degrees. this evening and overnight cloud
1:58 pm
that we have will largely tend to break up. that will lead to some patches of fog and mist across south—eastern part of england but we still have a thick cloud in the north and west of scotland, may be bringing some rain but on the whole a dry night. temperature slipping away to a domain degrees. similar to last night. this time tomorrow could start with summer sunshine more widely, tend to find clad building up widely, tend to find clad building up and spreading out, limiting the sunshine in the afternoon, a again a bit of rain across northern scotland, otherwise mostly dry. southerly or south—westerly breeze says, picking up a notch or two tomorrow, that we lift temperatures making 20 or 21 degrees in eastern part of scotland. 21 in the south of england. reasonably warm for this time of year. we have the big change coming in towards the end of the week, this is what we get the rain, this other weather front that is moving down from the north—west. that will bring some wet weather across scotland and northern ireland on wednesday night and during thursday that will push its way down over the irish sea into some
1:59 pm
northern parts of england and into wales, head of that somali sunshine and then we will see some cloud spreading out like on wednesday, still warm, temperatures will reach 20 or 21 degrees, whilst we get some late sunshine across much of scotland and northern ireland, things are turning a little bit cooler here. we have more in the north—westerly breeze. that will be bringing in cooler air as we head down towards the end of the week, that cooler weather pushes in behind that cooler weather pushes in behind that weather front be my bringing the rain and head that southerly breeze will push that away. we still see that cloud with patchy rain moving down across england and wales coming to rest across east anglia and the south—east. elsewhere that north—westerly breeze brings cooler air, clean air, some sunshine and a bea air, clean air, some sunshine and a be a scattering of showers, mainly the northerly and western parts of scotland and northern ireland. temperatures, ebbing away towards the end of the week.
