good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. the pound plunges to its lowest level against the us dollar in 50 years, days after the chancellor unveiled historic tax cuts in his mini budget. if the pound stays at the low level the prices of things we import, including oil and gas, will rise. italy is set to have its first female prime minister as far right leader giorgia meloni claims victory in its general election. we catch up with the sportsmen defying the odds as they live with motor neurone disease.

hi, dodd. not seen you for a while. how have you been, you big giraffe? sally laughs. good morning. with one game to go before the world cup begins, how gareth southgate�*s future's the spotlight, a year after leading england to the euros final. good morning. we've currently got some rain in the south—east which will clear away and for all of us we are looking at a day of sunshine and showers and a noticeable wind too, and feeling chilly in that wind. i will have all the details about this mornings programme. good morning, everybody. it's monday 26th september. our main story. the pound has fallen to its lowest level against the us dollarfor 50 years. the record slump came after the government unveiled tax cuts funded by huge increases in borrowing. let's talk more to nina about this.

how did this all start? a drop to around $1 how did this all start? a drop to around s1that's _ how did this all start? a drop to around $1 that's the _ how did this all start? a drop to around $1 that's the lowest - how did this all start? a drop to around $1 that's the lowest that| how did this all start? a drop to . around $1 that's the lowest that the pound is ever measured under current comparisons, it's recovered ever so slightly in the last few hours, but it's a real worry. why has it happened? confidence, credibility and the pound, we talk about tax cuts introduced by the chancellor on friday. they were really quite radical and unexpected and they will be paid for by borrowing. that made investors around the world look at the pound and think this all looks a bit messy, is it where i want my money to be? confidence of course is vital for the why does it matter to you and me? because if you are heading abroad, going to the usa now, at the moment, you would get about $1 for your pound, but it was nearly $1.5 back injanuary so that you just were heading abroad. it also means importing things are going to get more expensive if this

situation remains. that of course contribute to inflation. prices going up, incrementally, as we've seen over the past few months. the option we keep talking about from now on the bank of england is to hike interest rates to restore stability and confidence, but the chancellor said he is quite relaxed about this initial reaction. he says long term, he is confident cutting taxes will stimulate the economy and lead to growth but short term it's a real worry for businesses. it's a real worry for businesses. it's a real worry for investors and it's a real worry for investors and it's a real worry for how cell is already struggling with high prices. another wor , struggling with high prices. another worry. yeah- _ struggling with high prices. another worry. yeah- last— struggling with high prices. another worry, yeah. last thing _ struggling with high prices. another worry, yeah. last thing they - struggling with high prices. another worry, yeah. last thing they need i struggling with high prices. another| worry, yeah. last thing they need in the back of their minds, so the currency markets open in london in the uk at eight o'clock.— the uk at eight o'clock. that's what time the ftse _ the uk at eight o'clock. that's what time the ftse market _ the uk at eight o'clock. that's what time the ftse market opened, - the uk at eight o'clock. that's what time the ftse market opened, but| time the ftse market opened, but week every few minutes get an update on the value of the pan so we will keep an eye on it as the morning goes on. keep an eye on it as the morning noes on. ., ., ., ~ ,, , goes on. ok, for now, thank you very much indeed- — labour will reveal plans today to set up a national wealth fund

to invest in green energy and technology projects. shadow chancellor rachel reeves will tell the party's annual conference that the £8 billion scheme would create jobs and grow the economy more effectively. our political correspondent iain watson reports from liverpool. but inside, aesthetically, it doesn't make a great deal of difference either. itjust makes the room slightly shorter. keir starmer and shadow chancellor rachel reeves are visiting a home insulation scheme in bootle on merseyside. from insulation, from the plasterboard on top and that's set on batons so it's brought the wall out about that much. they want to see more projects like these because they believe they'll keep heating bills down in future and that going green is the way to tackle the energy crisis. and you could do all the external stuff with the family in there? yes. and then you just get in for the internal bit? yeah. today they'll announce a scheme to put government money into private sector projects to expand renewable sources of energy, such as wind farms all across the uk. we're investing £8 billion as part of a big package to create jobs, i to create the skills, _

and to create the green industry that we need for the future. labour say taxpayers would be able to share in future profits. they call this a national wealth fund. labour's slogan at this conference is a fairer, greener future. and, to be fair, they did announce a whole range of environmentally—friendly policies at last year's conference. these didn't set the political world alight, but they now believe, with concerns over cost of living and energy security, voters are more willing to embrace change. but climate activists within labour say the new policies don't go far enough. keir starmer was elected on the pledge of public ownership of energy. we're here campaigning for him to keep that pledge because, quite frankly, there is no role for profit. there is no role for the market in an energy system that keeps prices down during this cost of living crisis and achieves decarbonisation as quickly as possible. labour says it wants to see a greener future, but the debate on how to get

there is heating up. ian watson, bbc news, liverpool. our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in liverpool. good morning. nick, labour is pushing ahead with its plans for a green economy but there are some who believe they should be more forthright in attacking the government's tax—cutting? good morning to you, sally. i think we will hear a lot of that, a lot of attacks on the government for getting rid of the additional rate of income tax paid by people earning over £150,000. labour says is over £150 , 000. labour says is totally over £150,000. labour says is totally the wrong priority, but they are going to agree to reducing the basic rate of income tax, the one everybody earning over about £13,000 pays. there's been a few divisions on that actually. andy burnham has said labour should oppose that tax

cut. some on the left of a party like the former chancellorjohn mcdonnell are opposed to doing that at the moment, shadow chancellor i should say, broadly, we will see a lot of attacks from here on in what the government is doing and the truth is labour is trying to say to the public the government has one plan for growth and we have another plan for growth and we have another plan and we think it's going to be a bit fairer, it's going to be more focused on the energy sector and a greener economy. but everything that's happening just now here is in the context of those big tax cuts that were announced on friday, and that were announced on friday, and that story you guys were talking about a few seconds ago, those big falls in the pound overnight, so this is a pretty uncertain economic times. what we are seeing is the two main parties, the government, the conservatives, and labour, setting out very different visions about what they would do with the future.

nick, thank you very much indeed. we will talk to you again late in the programme. five rescue workers have been killed in a typhoon that has swept through the philippines, devastating homes and leaving millions without electricity. super typhoon noru brought gusts of up to 149 miles—an—hour to the main island of luzon. 0ur asia correspondent laura bicker is there — laura, describe the scene for us. we can see the flood behind you. this is one of the main roads to san miguel, where the fire and rescue workers lost their lives and what happened in the early hours of this morning as the floodwaters rose really rapidly and they swept away those workers. many people here we are shocked even though they had warning. i think what the president of this country has said in the last few hours is that he feels at this stage that the philippines has got off quite lightly because this super typhoon, which formed at the

weekend, off the east coast of the country, formed very quickly in 24—hour is and gave aid workers, agency workers, very little time to prepare. as you can see, many people here have decided 0k, we are going to be out of our houses, 711,000 people removed from their houses overnight. many of them are still stranded in evacuation centres or they are with their families being helped to get food and water. speaking to the red cross, they had volunteers and monitors all over the country waiting to see where it was hit. this is one of the worst hit areas. i've been there we had to weigh chest tighten many people are stuck on their rooms and one of the people they said to me as they are very used to these extreme weather events. but what concerns them is they keep coming back with more intensity and from the rooftops they shouted please tell the world that we need to focus on climate change,

that's what would help us most. laura, thank you very much indeed. two teenagers will appear before magistrates today charged with the murder of a 15—year—old boy. khayri mclean was stabbed outside north huddersfield trust school on wednesday and died in hospital. west yorkshire police say the boys, aged 15 and 16, have also been charged with possession of a bladed article. far—right leader giorgia meloni has claimed victory in italy's election, and is on course to become the country's first female prime minister. let's talk more about this with our europe correspondent jessica parker, who's in verona. this is a significant moment for italy obviously, but it is far wider europe, as well? absolutely, big moment in the sense that italy mac bus first female prime minister also the first far right prime minister potentially as

well, since the second world war, just looking at the papers this morning, she takes italy, that's the sort of general set of headlines this morning as italy wakes up to this morning as italy wakes up to this big political news after a victory in the polls overnight. in terms of what she could mean for italy, well, it is dealing with a cost of living crisis as much of europe. italy was particularly reliant on russian gas so she's got a lot on a plate to deal with there. people we've spoken to, though, here verona in the wider region like to promise to cut taxes, they like to a tough line on immigration and it's worth remembering she was a political minnow not that long ago, her party polling are just 4% back in 2018. will they be nerves in brussels about the nature of some of her alliance partners who have historically been close to the kremlin? that question sanctions against russia and have defended the invasion of ukraine, i think there will be nerves but there's a sense she can have a lot to deal with on a

plate in italy over the coming winter. . ~ plate in italy over the coming winter. ., ~ , ., plate in italy over the coming winter. . ~' , ., , plate in italy over the coming winter. ., ~ , ., , . winter. indeed, thank you very much indeed. if you were watching breakfast on friday, you might have seen a report made by our business presenter hannah about a charity called depher, which provides free boiler and central heating repairs, or sometimes brand new boilers, to people who can't afford to pay for them. well, we don't know for sure if the movie star hugh grant was watching hannah's report, but on saturday he and his wife anna eberstein donated a cool £10,000 to the charity. they'd previously given £45,000, and the founder james anderson was delighted to get another donation. when we saw the £10,000 donation off hugh, it was really humbling because we need it because of what we're going into, the cost of living crisis that we're now facing. when we actually seen that it was from hugh and from his wife, that made it personal because it was from a family, from the grant family, one of the families

in the united kingdom that we will be supporting. this will mean so much to so many families, so many children. it will keep the heating on, it will keep the light on and it will put food on the table. lovely move there. lots of people are very grateful for that today. of course he was watching us on saturday. friday. was it friday? he's always watching. there's been some really dramatic weather around the world, hasn't there? we saw the philippines earlier. really high winds and storms on the other side of the atlantic in canada. and the usa. now the weather with carol. hopefully nothing quite so dramatic. what has the week got in store? nothing as dramatic and glad to say. thank you. hurricane ian at the moment makes its moves across parts of the south eastern states and the caribbean. what we have for the rest of the week is rather cool conditions, sunshine and showers.

and it looks like on friday, it is going to be pretty wet and windy. we've got a combination of wet and windy weather at the moment, wet through the course of the night, all the rain and showers pushing south, the rain and showers pushing south, the rain and showers pushing south, the rain currently in southern england will continue to move away. gusts of england will continue to move away. 722’ gusts across , , england will continue to move away. i; will sts across , , england will continue to move away. 7; will sts across gale , , england will continue to move away. *; wi and across gale , , england will continue to move away. ffwi and across see e , , england will continue to move away. ffwi and across see the , force at times and you can see the showers in. a lot force at times and you can see the shower around in. a lot force at times and you can see the shower around the. a lot force at times and you can see the shower around the coasts some of force at times and you can see the shower around i it coasts some of force at times and you can see the shower around i it inland; some of force at times and you can see the shower around i it inland for some of force at times and you can see the shower around i it inland for the me of will be areas of cloud and for r of be areas of cloud and for r of us areas of cloud and for r of us willas of cloud and for r of us will see : cloud and for in it will feel between the showers. it will feel cool in the wind. temperatures 8—17. between the showers. it will feel cool in t on wind. temperatures 8—17. between the showers. it will feel cool in t on through nperatures 8—17. between the showers. it will feel cool in t on through npe evening 5—17. between the showers. it will feel cool in t on through npe evening and between the showers. it will feel cool in t on ' lot ugh npe evening and not �* them. will wind esme �* scotland, still still be strong over scotland, still gusting to gale force, but will ease a little bit and tonight going to be cool, it's going to be cool, particularly in the east. these are the overnight

since we introduced you to doddie and obviously steven darby too, and we got together for a chat. since then, how are you doing and how is life at the moment? a lot has happened since i met the guys for the first time. i could walk and talk with the guys when i met them in edinburgh. i declined a lot throughout lockdown. i am now settled down and not got any worse for 18 months now and that is called a plateau. to be honest, i didn't think i would be here now. it's been quite a while since you've seen doddie. what was it like to see him again today? hi, dodd, not seen you for a while. how have you been, you big giraffe? remember when we all met in scotland?

what a day that was. and it started something i think that's really quite special. how have you been since then? hi, ed. how the devil are you? welcome to the dream team. yeah. ed, obviously, this is the first time that we've got you together with the guys. i know it's really early days for you. how important is it for you to see the, i guess, the mental strength that both doddie and rob and also

stephen darby, that they all have that's been carrying them through so far? how is that for you? yeah, hugely important. i think, you know, through these guys that i'm sat with and stephen is where i get my awareness of the disease itself. so from my point of view, just the dust has settled a little bit on the diagnosis. so day to day, i'm now learning to live with the disease. so that's challenging at times. the impact it has on the family is difficult, but it's fantastic to be in a room with these guys and hopefully if i can add a small fraction to the work that they've done, i'll have achieved something. how are you? i'm 0k. i'm probably feeling symptoms a bit more now than when i was initially diagnosed, so that's difficult. i'm 0k at the moment.

you know, functionally, day to day, it's not impacting me hugely. but, as i say, there are small signs of things to come. but, you know, i have to get my head around that. and, you know, being here with these guys, you've mentioned it already, the mental strength that i'm going to need to have to get through this is going to be huge. ed, i remember saying to the lads at the time, you know, this is the team that they never wanted to be on. the most important thing at this point actually is hope to be able to have some kind of a hope that something's coming down the line. i can only speak of my experience. being diagnosed was a lot of frustration around the fact that there were questions they couldn't give me answers to.

the work isn't done at the money that's been made available. it goes well beyond that. and also, i just want to acknowledge as well doddie said about getting together. and i've benefited massively from speaking to people that that have also got mnd. and i've spoke two or three other people now as well. and that's been huge because, as i say, the information i've got has been a little bit mixed and speaking to people with the condition actually helps you and gives you that strength that he's talking about. kevin has raised millions of pounds so far in his efforts to support rob and all of you. how important, ed, is the work that kevin's been doing? you know, inspirational pre my diagnosis, you know, i watched it as well and thought, you know, how amazing the work that he was doing to raise awareness as well as money for the disease was massive. now i'm part of it,

you know, i can add my voice to exactly what he's doing. i know these guys will know kev a lot better than than i do. but the challenge he's taken on has taken huge mental strength and the support he's given the community is something we can all take strength from as well. gentlemen, thank you very much indeed for talking to us today. i wish you all the best of luck. so that's a little catch up with the lads filmed a few days ago. but do keep watching the programme this morning because we have something very special coming after eight o'clock. in that film you may have recognised kevin sinfield, rob's friend and former team—mate. he was his captain for 13 years. you know if you watch this programme kevin has done two incredible challenges to raise money and awareness. he has raised millions and millions and millions of pounds but what we didn't ever tell you what it was a trilogy. so the third

and final challenge is coming and we will reveal itjust after eight o'clock here on the programme this morning. we have told kevin, right? no. he knows, it's his idea explanation of what he's planning is absolutely incredible. it's going to be an awesome thing for us all to witness over the next few weeks. 0ne witness over the next few weeks. one of his team said last night it's really tough but so is kevin. he's going to need to be. he really is. it's so wonderful to see them together and still that strength which bonds them together in the most awful circumstances, it must be inspiring just to be in the room with them all. just to listen to them, yes, very life affirming. very, very wise. i know they laugh and joke but we get a lot of wisdom from them, as well. the banter. yes, very cheeky. that was good to see in happy birthday, rob burrow. 1r0. let's take a look at today's papers. reactions from last week's mini budget continue to dominate the papers. the metro opts for the headline "tax

wars", after labour leader sir keir starmer vowed to reverse number ten's tax reductions for the highest earners, if he gets into power. according to the daily mail, the chancellor's pledge to carry on cutting taxes is a "boost for families" struggling with the cost of living. so they supported. but the "i" talks of "toryjitters", after kwasi kwarteng said he'd go further with his tax—cutting plans. the paper quotes backbench conservative mps who say there are "definite concerns" about the way the markets are reacting. and staying with market reaction, the plummeting pound is one of the main stories featured in the online version of singapore's english—language newspaper, the straits times. it comes after sterling fell by more than 1r% against the dollar in trading in the asia markets overnight. nina was telling us it has recovered a little bit in the last hour or

two, but we are keeping an eye across that because it's hard to get your head around what the currency markets mean in our everyday lives, but it affects everything from the price of energy and gas and electricity in our homes. lots of people will look at that sort of thing when they are going on holiday, perhaps going abroad, but it affects everything. a great story here inside the guardian today, i'm going to try hard not to get into trouble for this. this is about scottish wool, i've spoken about them before, and there is a theory not put forward by me, i hasten to add that, at times, they can be scratching us to some types of scottish wool. now i am assured by lots of people scottish wool is very fine and not scratchy at all, but in a lab in edinburgh work is under way at the moment to basically work on a new type of scottish wool to make it completely non—scratchy and revive the industry. how do you do that? it's in a laboratory, john. it is the science bit. scottish wool is

great. who is this? 0h the science bit. scottish wool is great. who is this? oh my goodness. if you saw this person on the streets of london, this weekend, it's anthony hopkins. sir anthony hopkins. he is playing the part of sir nicholas winton, known as the british schindler, schindler liston 0scar schindler, who saved all those children from nazi germany, this is nicholas winton. due member there was a thing with esther rantzen on that's life? they got them altogether. and he didn't know he was going to have this incredible moment. have a look for it online. sadly, he's since died a few years ago, but they are making a film about what he did and his life. sir anthony hopkins playing his part and once again you see the similarity between the real nicholas winton. anthony hopkins' ability to turn

himself into any character physically as magic. the way he walks, talks and everything. did you watch titley come dancing? i saw a bit of it, yeah. it was so exciting —— strictly come dancing. i heard the music and thought i'm ready for it now. autumn starts here. quite a lot of strictly last year but i'm ready for it now. i want to share this. helen skelton, a brilliant picture of her in the express looking gorgeous. she was really good. she was fabulous although she confessed to a few nerves saying at one point she ran away saying she couldn't possibly do it because it's all so forlorn. you don't get much space. it was fun and felt good. she did brilliantly. it's going to be good season. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello and good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. a man has been arrested at heathrow airport, trying to leave the country

hours after two people were critically injured in a suspected hit—and—run in hounslow. it happened on kingsley road in the early hours of yesterday morning when a car collided with four pedestrians. police say the 20—year—old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. around 5,000 of the lowest paid transport workers will now be entitled to free travel on tfl�*s network to help with the cost of living crisis. the mayor announced the change yesterday and will see the lowest paid contract workers — who hadn't previously been eligible because they weren't employed directly by tfl — to travel without charge. work will start today to remove the thousands of floral tributes left in hyde park to honour the queen. a pair of shire horses will pull flatbed drays — a traditional open cart usually used in conservation work. they'll move across the royal parks to kensington palace gardens where the flowers will be used as compost.

a runnerfrom deptford is using a rather creative way to raise money for charity and indulge in his love of running. jeric yuen spends hours planning his routes and uses gps technology to turn his visions into reality. so far, i've created a tiger, which is about 28 kilometres. a t rex in victoria park, roughly about ten kilometres. a chicken and a dolphin around elephant and castle area. and i love the creative sides of it. by combining both, i'm being able to fundraise and to help. a look at the tubes now — and there's a good service on all lines at the moment. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is a rather damp start this monday morning. we've had a couple of pounds of rain moving through overnight, one of which still with us first thing, but it will clear away fairly quickly this morning. behind it, we'll see frequent showers on this north—westerly breeze. that north—westerly breeze will feel quite chilly.

we have got some sunny spells developing as the cloud thins and breaks, but temperaturesjust about reaching 16 celsius, so definitely feeling more like autumn. 0vernight tonight, those showers will start to fade, or they will become more isolated. with clearer spells developing, we are hanging on to that breeze as well overnight, the minimum dropping down to seven celsius. now, for tomorrow, the low pressure is still in charge again. a mixture of sunny spells, scattered showers around the low, that north—westerly breeze. still fairly brisk through tomorrow, helping those showers blow through fairly quickly. we will still see some sunny spells, but it is going to feel quite chilly, temperatures tomorrow reaching just 15 celsius. as we head further through the week, the wind finally falls a little bit lighter for wednesday. some sunny spells around, a few showers. it's not until the end of the week things turn progressively more unsettled, especially for friday, a very wet and a very windy day. just before we go, in case you missed it last week, there's a video on our instagram about a man who's in the process of finding out if he's broken the world record for the shortest

time taken to catch a fish in every district of london. well, there you go. now it's back to sally and jon. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. coming up on breakfast this morning... it sounds like something from a hollywood film — but tonight nasa is planning to crash a spacecraft into an asteroid. just as a practice to see what would happen if we had to do it for real. mark 0wen is in the studio to chat about his new album, which he dropped off at his mum and dads house. and just before 9.00, graham norton's swapping his red sofa for ours — he'lljoin us to talk about his latest novel

and the new series of his chat show. it's a big week for energy bills, with the average household bill due to rise again on the 1st of october — that's this saturday. bills were capped by the new prime minister earlier this month, so they're not going up as much as expected — but some customers are still receiving notice of vastly higher direct debits they will pay within days. so what's going on? nina's here with more. it has been quite difficult for people to predict what is going to happen from the 1st of october. so the letters and e—mails that have been coming in about the predicted prices remaining of october has been really shocking for lots of people. somehow we have seen a lot of, energy firms are telling customers the bill is about to go through the roof despite the announced support

measures. let's have a reminder of what they are. typical household energy bills are being capped by the government at £2,500 a year from saturday. before that announcement, the price cap had been due to rise to just over £3,500 a year. the so—called "energy price guarantee" will last two years. but it's important to say — your bill depends on how much energy you actually use. if you use more, you pay more. the plan applies to all households in england, scotland and wales. the "same level of support" will be available in northern ireland. a one—off £400 energy bills discount for households will also go ahead from october. but despite all of that, there's been a flurry of complaints about rising direct debits. e.0n customers were among those to raise those complaints last week, with some people tweeting their concerns. 0ne customer tweeted to say they were confused and worried because their energy bill will rise to £323 from october, having been £91 last year. marija tweeted to say her direct debit is increasing by almost £300 to £458.

that noise is going to be even louder and more widespread, and i totally understand that. so, not hiding from that, it's a situation that we are not enjoying, not winning football matches. what of wales, who let's not forget play england in their final group game at the world cup on november 29th? they lost to poland last night which means they too have been relegated from their nations league group, as jane dougall reports. singing it echoed around the cardiff city stadium, the welsh national anthem lifting the players, but could they lift wales off the bottom of their group? perhaps, with their star player fit to start. last time around, poland took the points. they took up where they left off. this was a must—win for wales. lose and they would be relegated from their nations league group. motivation for a double chance from dan james. but wojciech szczesny equal to both.

with so much at stake, the nerves got to wayne henessey, almost putting the ball into his own net. poland struck first, a magic touch from robert lewandowski putting it on a plate. wales tried to reply, denied by the former arsenal keeper's finger tips. it just wasn't their night. gareth bale's header hit the crossbar and frustrations bubbled over. that's now no wins in five for wales — not the best preparation before a world cup. jane dougall, bbc news. they have been in a tough group, though. in the women's super league, everton beat liverpool 3nil at anfield. megan finnigan and jess park gave their side a comfortable half time lead, with hanna bennison wrapping up the win late on. england's cricketers are level at 2—all in their best of seven t20 series against pakistan after a dramatic defeat in their fourth encounter in karachi.

reece topley was run out as pakistan sealed what had earlier appeared to be an unlikely victory when they set england a relatively modest target of 167 to win. the fifth game takes place in lahore on wednesday. when we picked this team, we sort of had an eye for the world cup with, you know, the future as well. we want to win the series, we said we did want to win the series, it's important for us to get some momentum going in there, but more importantly, we are looking at long—term and getting games into some players like that, that have shown a lot in our domestic cricket and scored a lot of runs and taken wickets. it's important that we give them opportunities. could be a sorry end for worcester rugby club today. players and staff have been told to collect all belongings from the club before 4.30 this afternoon. the premiership side have been told they'll be suspended from all competitions unless they provide a "credible" funding plan by five o'clock. the rfu want to see evidence of insurance cover and funds

to beat by 30 seconds his previous best, set four years ago in the german capital. it was a couple of years ago, you remember. he is a sort of running out of people to run against! he is runnina out of people to run against! he is running against — out of people to run against! he is running against the _ out of people to run against! he is running against the two _ out of people to run against! he: 3 running against the two hours. can he do that? he did then, but it was controlled race. but he came very close and actually every marker i think he was on to break the sub two hour mark. but at 37, he says he can still go faster. amazing. you wouldn't bet against him. john, thank you. it is 6:43, you're watching breakfast. despite the risks, the number of people crossing the english channel in small boats continues to rise, with the total so far this year having already surpassed the whole of last year. (ani

according to government figures collated by the bbc, more than 31,000 people have made the illegal crossing in 2022, which is more than 3000 higher than in all of 2021. just last week, more than 1100 people were intercepted in a single day — that represents the third highest daily figure this year. and so far this month, more than 6000 have made the crossing. a people smuggler based in turkey has told bbc panorama that the uk government's plan to send asylum seekers to rwanda won't put off his customers. the government has defended its plan despite legal challenges from human rights campaigners — and says it hopes to break the people smugglers' business model. jane corbin went to istanbul to find out more about this booming trade. istanbul in turkey is the front line of the refugee crisis. people smuggling is big business here. i'm heading to a safe

house to meet "kingpin". we have agreed not to reveal his identity, as it was the only way he would tell me about his business. he denies it, but there have been allegations that a migrant died on one of his boats. smuggling is dangerous, people's lives are put at risk, you are making money from putting people's lives at risk. translation: accidents can happen. but we explain how dangerous the journey is, and we have them sign a consent form. "you could die," i tell him. and warn his mum and dad too. the uk government announced it would crack down on this trade. it plans to send some asylum seekers, likely single men, to rwanda in africa to have their claims processed. the smuggler says it won't make any difference. translation: even if they send 1000 people a day to rwanda, . they won't stop.

people won't change their mind. they are not afraid of dying, and if they are not afraid of death, they won't be afraid of going to rwanda. earlier this month, the plan was challenged in the high court in london. a ruling is expected later in the autumn. the united nations refugee agency says the uk government needs to change course. the numbers are going up. the people who are taking these journeys are well aware that they are at risk of being transferred to rwanda — it's not stopping them. what is being achieved here? almost nothing. it's hugely expensive and the very high probability is that those that do come to rwanda will leave very, very quickly and we are right back where we started again. the government says the rwanda is legal and safe and will help fix the broken asylum system.

it wants to stop the people smugglers and prevent further loss of life. but there is no sign of the plan working yet. the numbers arriving in the uk are still rising. this month, the number of arrivals by boat reached a new record. jane corbin, bbc news. and you can watch panorama's investigation, "channel crisis: can people smugglers be stopped?" on bbc one at 8 o'clock tonight. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. as well as looking at the uk weather, you have been looking at these terrible events in asia in the philippines? that's right, we have got the typhoon. it deepened quite quickly, as it crossed lausanne, it lost

intensity so the wind dropped, but now it is back into the south china sea, it is picking up intensity once again it is heading in the direction of vietnam as a strong typhoon and again, the strong surge, the winds, that kind of thing as well as its rich rain will have an impact, and the strong list of these will be in the strong list of these will be in the northern side of the typhoon. also looking at hurricane ian, affecting part of the caribbean, it will move across cuba as a major hurricane, then it goes across florida so that will also have impacts with a strong surge in wind and heavy rain. so a lot going on with the weather around the world. back on our shores, things are a lot quieter although today it scooped going to be fairly wet and windy, and it will be cool as well, temperatures for much of this week will be below average, which roughly is 17 to 20 celsius of the south. sunshine and showers as we go through the week, but it is going to be particularly wet and windy on

friday. so what's happening at the moment as we have this moving south, taking its rain it. a second one following behind enhancing the showers and we can see from the isobars it is going to be windy wherever you are but the strongest wind will be in the north. it is coming from the north—west, you can see the impact that is having on the colours in our chart, representing the cooler conditions as yellow. have all this rain, which leads to some surface water and spray as you travel into work. the rainbow clear at the south—east we have a platter of showers coming in behind, particularly being driven in on the strong winds across the north, the west and east and a strong gusty winds at the moment in western scotland and the english channel. gale force gusts quite likely across northern scotland through the day. this is the kind of gusts you can expect, some showers and sunshine and also some areas of cloud, we have got it all going on today and it will feel cool in the wind,

temperatures 8 to 16 or 17 celsius, and if you remember the average temperatures are roughly 17 to 20, for the sum of year. heading up through the evening and overnight, a lot of the showers will fade but not all. it is still going to be windy, especially cell across the 4 north —— the far north of scotland and the cool night, especially in eastern areas, temperatures falling away between about 4 and eight celsius that are not quite as cool as we push over towards the west. tomorrow in the west we have this front, it has changed position from yesterday and it looks as if it willjust clip the far south—west of england later in the day, bringing some cloud and some showery rain. low pressure anchored in the north sea towards the north—east of scotland, bringing in again some showers, some of those could be heavy and thundery in the north—east. you will find showers all the way down to east anglia with all the way down to east anglia with a few inland as well so it's a day for bringing a brolly. but make sure it is a sturdy one because it is

going to be quite windy with temperatures of 11 to about 17. as we head into wednesday, we will see a fair bit of dry weather, still some showers in some western areas for example, and still some of this rain coming down the east coast for scotland down towards the east coast of england. temperatures 12 to about 15 or 16, so still feeling cool, temperatures still below average for the time of year. it is chilly, carol! thank you very much. the eurovision song contest is heading to the uk next year, after organisers decided it could not be held in the winning country ukraine due to the ongoing war. seven uk cities are shortlisted to stage the event — and breakfast is taking a look at what each place has to offer. this week our entertainment correspondent, colin paterson, is visiting leeds. yorkshire has hosted the eurovision

song contest before, in 1982. bienvenue a harrogate. welcome to harrogate. now, it's been a very, - very popular spot this week for all the delegates - for all the european countries. many magnificent examples of victorian architecture — l there's one now. is that one of the bronte sisters? # so many nights i spend # trying to catch my breath... # things have rather changed since then. but eurovision could return as part of a special year dedicated to culture. leeds is bidding to host the event. we've got everything. it's in the middle of leeds 2023, which is our big cultural festival, we have the infrastructure. this is what we do, we entertain, we are musical, we can deliver this. # kisses for me, save all your kisses for me...# and leeds has produced a eurovision winner. brotherhood of man triumphed in 1976. sandra stevens was born

and grew up in the city. the people in britain had put us at number one in the charts when we actually went there, so we all said, well, let's do it for them. # i'll be thinking of you # in 'most everything i do...# what would it mean to you if eurovision was held in leeds? it would give the yorkshire people the boost that everybody needs in the country. it would just mean so much to them. # kisses for me, save all your kisses for me...# and her band—mate nicky stevens hopes brotherhood of man will be part of next year's celebrations. well, i think it would be fabulous, as we are the biggest selling eurovision winning song. and we still hold the record for winning by the british majority of votes. _by —— by the greatest majority of votes. respect, bbc.

give us a shot! leeds also played a crucial role in last year's czech republic entry. we are domi met and formed while studying music at the leeds conservatoire. without leeds, without studying there, playing all the gigs we played there and having the group of associates around us as a music city, then of course we would never be a band, and we lived there for four or five years together and i think we played every club you can play in leeds, and i think it's a really good option and i really hope leeds gets picked. that's a view shared by two of west yorkshire's biggest eurovision fans. it's already a place where music is so important and so vibrant in leeds culture and i think it would just expand that even more. i think it would be a really world—class show. i think there is a general consensus that we want to see other parts of the uk that are not usually seen.

so i think this would be just a great opportunity to put leeds on the map. this is leeds first direct arena. fingers crossed — fingers crossed — that we will be holding it here. radio presenter stephanie hirst is already excited and thinks it's important that one crucial aspect is remembered. it's incredible to think that the entire world could be focused on leeds, this building, but we can't forget that this is ukraine's party. we are just letting them host it in our house, that's all. at the ukrainian community centre in the chapeltown area of leeds, there is a mix of excitement and sorrow. we have become leeds people. but we are ukrainian. and it's just wonderful that we may get this chance to show the world what we here for. is there any part of you that really wishes it was being held in ukraine, though? yes, definitely, because it would mean the world. .

so, yeah. definitely. why would leeds be a good place? leeds is the best town in britain! and if eurovision does return to yorkshire, hopefully this time, the tv coverage will find something more interesting to say about the region. of course, in this area i is the home of ici fibres. crimple house, from . which comes crimplene. colin paterson, bbc news, leeds. that was a good pitch! it looks amazing. and we have eurovision royalty in the programme later. , . . eurovision royalty in the programme later. ., ., ., , later. graham norton will be here. talkin: later. graham norton will be here. talking about _ later. graham norton will be here. talking about his _ later. graham norton will be here. talking about his book. _ later. graham norton will be here. talking about his book. we - later. graham norton will be here. talking about his book. we mightl later. graham norton will be here. i talking about his book. we might ask him about eurovision. let's see if we can make him say... iuntil]! him about eurovision. let's see if we can make him say...- him about eurovision. let's see if we can make him say... will get an answer for — we can make him say... will get an answer for you. _ we can make him say... will get an answer for you, leads, _ we can make him say... will get an answer for you, leads, and - answer for you, leads, and everywhere answerfor you, leads, and everywhere else. time now to get the news,

it is a rather damp start this monday morning. we've had a couple of pounds of rain moving through overnight, one of which still with us first thing, but it will clear away fairly quickly this morning. behind it, we'll see frequent showers on this north—westerly breeze. that north—westerly breeze will feel quite chilly. we have got some sunny spells developing as the cloud thins and breaks, but temperaturesjust about reaching 16 celsius, so definitely feeling more like autumn. overnight tonight, those showers will start to fade, or they will become more isolated. with clearer spells developing, we are hanging on to that breeze as well overnight, the minimum dropping down to seven celsius. now, for tomorrow, the low pressure is still in charge again. a mixture of sunny spells, scattered showers around the low, that north—westerly breeze. still fairly brisk through tomorrow, helping those showers blow through fairly quickly. we will still see some sunny spells, but it is going to feel quite chilly, temperatures tomorrow reaching just 15 celsius. as we head further through the week, the wind finally falls a little bit lighter for wednesday. some sunny spells around, a few showers.

it's not until the end of the week things turn progressively more unsettled, especially for friday, a very wet and a very windy day. just before we go in case you missed it last week, there's a video on our instagram about a man who's in the process of finding out if he's broken the world record for the shortest time taken to catch a fish in every distruict of london. well, there you go. now it's back to sally and jon. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. the pound plunges to an all—time low against the us dollar, days after the chancellor unveiled historic tax cuts in his mini—budget. if the pound stays at this low level the prices of things we import, including oil and gas, will rise. italy is set to have its first female prime minister, as far right leader giorgia meloni claims victory in the country's general election.

what has caused this huge slide? we saw through the night the pound dropping to less than $1 and 4 cents. that is record—breaking, that exchange rate has never been that low. it's recovered slightly this morning, but it's still really worrying. as you say, it's happened because of words like confidence, credibility, in pound sterling. on friday we had the announcement from the chancellor kwasi kwarteng saying tax would be cut and paid for by borrowing which made investors look at the pound and say i'm a bit worried about this and is this where i want my money to be long—term? why does it matter to you? if you're planning to go to america for example your pounds will go to $1 six months ago you would have gone to 1.40. what is also hugest when it comes to importing goods, that will be a lot more expensive, contributing to inflation, costing more incrementally which is what

businesses are worried about at the moment. what happens now? the bank of england can hi cap england's rates to get a sense of normality and credibility back to the pound but the chancellor has said he is quite relaxed about what is seen as a kneejerk reaction to this. he says long term, by cutting taxes we will stimulator the economy and everybody will be better off. short term, it's a real worry for businesses. it's a real worry for those who import and for households who look at inflation and think if this gets worse i'm going to struggle. bird and think if this gets worse i'm going to struggle.— and think if this gets worse i'm going to struggle. and if there's those things _ going to struggle. and if there's those things go _ going to struggle. and if there's those things go wrong _ going to struggle. and if there's those things go wrong off - going to struggle. and if there's those things go wrong off the i going to struggle. and if there's i those things go wrong off the back of this the chancellor would be so relaxed about it. it will be another factor terrible for the economy. and factor terrible for the economy. and wonderin: factor terrible for the economy. fifrc wondering what i factor terrible for the economy. fific wondering what i got left factor terrible for the economy. e'"ic wondering what i got left in factor terrible for the economy. el"ic wondering what i got left in the part in order to spend to support households? it's a massive, massive gamble. he would argue it may pay off but historically it hasn't done before. . ., off but historically it hasn't done before. ., ~' , ., we will speak to rachel reeves about

this a little bit later. labour will be reacting to that news overnight. labour will reveal plans today to set up a national wealth fund to invest in green energy and technology projects. shadow chancellor rachel reeves will tell the party's annual conference that the £8 billion scheme would create jobs and grow the economy more effectively. our political correspondent iain watson reports from liverpool. but inside, aesthetically, it doesn't make a great deal of difference either. itjust makes the room slightly shorter. keir starmer and shadow chancellor rachel reeves are visiting a home insulation scheme in bootle on merseyside. from insulation, from the plasterboard on top and that's set on batons so it's brought the wall out about that much. they want to see more projects like these because they believe they'll keep heating bills down in future and that going green is the way to tackle the energy crisis. and you could do all the external stuff with the family in there? yes. and then you just get in for the internal bit? yeah. today they'll announce a scheme to put government money into private sector projects to expand renewable sources of energy, such as wind

farms all across the uk. we're investing £8 billion as part of a big package to create jobs, i to create the skills, _ and to create the green industry that we need for the future. labour say taxpayers would be able to share in future profits. they call this a national wealth fund. labour's slogan at this conference is a fairer, greener future. and, to be fair, they did announce a whole range of environmentally—friendly policies at last year's conference. these didn't set the political world alight, but they now believe, with concerns over cost of living and energy security, voters are more willing to embrace change. but climate activists within labour say the new policies don't go far enough. keir starmer was elected on the pledge of public ownership of energy. we're here campaigning for him to keep that pledge because, quite frankly, there is no role for profit. there is no role for the market in an energy system that keeps prices down during this cost

of living crisis and achieves decarbonisation as quickly as possible. labour says it wants to see a greener future, but the debate on how to get there is heating up. ian watson, bbc news, liverpool. our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in liverpool. a huge amount for them to discuss at the conference. of course among them the conference. of course among them the fact sir keir starmer went on the fact sir keir starmer went on the record yesterday appearing on the record yesterday appearing on the laura kuenssberg show on the bbc saying he will stick with some of the tax—cutting plans for government outlined in the budget last week. how is that going down with the wider conference?— how is that going down with the wider conference? good morning, he said he would — wider conference? good morning, he said he would get _ wider conference? good morning, he said he would get rid _ wider conference? good morning, he said he would get rid of— wider conference? good morning, he said he would get rid of the - said he would get rid of the decision to cut the additional rate of income tax, the one paid by people earning over £150,000, but

would agree with the decision to cut the basic rate of income tax which everyone pays if you're earning over £12,750. there has been some opposition to that. some in the labour party like the macro may of manchester andy burnham and some on the left wing who are saying it's not the right time to be cutting the basic rate —— macro may. to be honest, more broadly, keir starmer does have more support than that. most people at this conference would agree there are two political calculations there. one is that working people are paying too much tax at the moment. loads of people in the labour party think that so they're making that argument but the second is you don't really want to go into a general election potentially in a year or two saying we are going to put everybody�*s taxes up, but there is a question for labour. they are now agreeing to £20 billion in tax cuts, but where does the money come from? realise does the money come from? also auestions does the money come from? also questions about _ does the money come from? also questions about plummeting pound as well as we've just been reporting.

what do labour have to say on that and what they do if they were in right now?— right now? the backdrop to everything _ right now? the backdrop to everything we _ right now? the backdrop to everything we are - right now? the backdrop to everything we are talking i right now? the backdrop to - everything we are talking about politically is the changing economic situation. i think you will hear from labour today they are worried about what happened with the pound overnight. i think they will try to say we would be more responsible in government and wouldn't be borrowing as much money. we would tax energy companies to reduce the borrowing needed to subsidise people's energy bills. but i don't think we will see any sort of change from the government on this. the hoping government on this. the hoping government is over the course of today, the markets will stabilise a bit, the situation will get a bit better, but hearing from the chancellor over the last couple of days speaking to people in government, they are sticking to this strategy and they think this is a short—term blip they can ride out. 0k, nick, thank you very much

indeed. five rescue workers have been killed in a typhoon that has swept through the philippines, devastating homes and leaving millions without electricity. super typhoon noru brought gusts of up to 149 miles—an—hour to the main island of luzon. our asia correspondent laura bicker is there. we can see the water is behind you so just describe what it's like there today. we are on the main road to san miguel, one of the worst hit areas of the main island of the philippines. i think around 74,000 people have been taken to evacuation centres, many people have also decided to stay with friends or out of their houses but as you can see, out onto the streets. the floodwaters, i'mjust out onto the streets. the floodwaters, i'm just going to take you to give you an idea, as soon as you to give you an idea, as soon as you come off the road, where these floodwaters go. if you go down the alley, they are having to wade at least chest deep to get to their homes which is one of the reasons

i'm not standing in that water. you have got thousands of people living under these conditions at the moment hoping the floodwaters will recede over the next few hours. this super typhoon came with a warning but not much because it form so quickly before slamming into the philippines in the last few hours. it brought with it those gusty winds and torrential rain and it is that rain coming off the mountains which has caused so much trouble here. five rescue workers were swept away in the floodwaters they tried to get out of the boat and rescue people from their homes. but when the president spoke during the disaster committee meeting this morning, he said he feels at this time the philippines may have got off lightly. this is a country very much used to weather events. they say these typhoons are coming with more intensity and more frequently than they have before. this area was flooded in 2013 but not this badly.

when i was asking people who are sitting on the roofs of their houses, passing through to one another, i said what do you need, i thought they would ask for better housing and protection from floods? one young lady to me no, i need the world to know they need to focus on climate change.— climate change. laura, thank you very much _ climate change. laura, thank you very much indeed. _ two teenagers will appear before magistrates today charged with the murder of a 15—year—old boy. kayree mclean was stabbed outside his school in huddersfield on wednesday and died in hospital. west yorkshire police say the boys, aged 15 and 16, have also been charged with possession of a bladed article. far—right leader giorgia meloni has claimed victory in italy's election, and is on course to become the country's first female prime minister. let's talk more about this with our europe correspondent jessica parker, who's in verona. this is a significant moment in italy's history but it has

implications right across europe? yeah, good morning from verona. you can see the very famous amphitheatre behind me, history itself but a historic moment for italy this morning. notjust potentially the first female prime minister for italy but as you are saying the first far right one since the second world war. what does that mean for italy? voters we have spoken to here want to see action on the cost of living crisis. italy has been hit hard by the energy squeeze, very reliant on russian gas, it's also people talking about they want to see the tax cuts giorgia meloni has promised to help dry the economy. this is one of the wealthier areas of italy here in the north. what does it mean for europe? the european union? giorgia meloni's conservative nationalist approached china's people with hungary and poland who already run up against brussels on a number of issues, so i

think people will worry she will be a natural ally although she has insisted she will be very still more to no support for ukraine, she has no time for to no support for ukraine, she has no time foeradimir to no support for ukraine, she has no time for vladimir putin, but there are nervous about some of the people she is one alongside during this campaign. it's interesting to note, as well, why have people here began to switch towards giorgia meloni who was a political minnow in the last 2018 general election? they talk about her grits, her determination, she is an unmarried motherfrom a determination, she is an unmarried mother from a working—class community in rome and seems to have sparked a bit of interest here although it's worth saying there is although it's worth saying there is a lot of apathy as well, italian politics is very volatile, a lot of governments come and go, and giorgia meloni certainly has a lot on your plate if she does indeed form the next government. gk. plate if she does indeed form the next government.— plate if she does indeed form the next government. ok, thank you very much indeed- — if you were watching breakfast on friday, you might have seen a report made by our business presenter hannah about a charity called depher. it provides free boiler and central heating repairs or sometimes brand new boilers to people who can't afford to pay for them.

well, we don't know for sure if the movie star hugh grant was watching hannah's report but on saturday he and his wife anna eberstein donated a cool £10,000 to the charity. of course he was watching! they'd previously given £45,000 and the founder james anderson was delighted to get another donation. when we saw the £10,000 donation off hugh, it was really humbling because we need it because of what we're going into, the cost of living crisis that we're now facing. when we actually seen that it was from hugh and from his wife, that made it personal because it was from a family, from the grant family, one of the families in the united kingdom that we will be supporting. this will mean so much to so many families, so many children. it will keep the heating on, it will keep the light on and it will put food on the table. very grateful. a proper thank you to hugh and anna. what a gift. the mild

weather over the last few days and weeks has been a relief to a lot of people are worried about having to put the central heating on soon. carol can tell us how the weather is looking for the week ahead. good morning. good morning. for the next couple of days temperatures will be below average for the time of year. the average for the time of year. the average is roughly 17—20. it's going to be cool, sunshine and showers, and then wet and windy on friday. it's wet and windy today with the rain pushing down towards the south—east and a lot of showers coming in behind it. the strongest winds across the north of scotland and the north—west today, gusting to about 45 miles already and you can see we got the showers. further east, some sunshine. a blustery day with sunshine and showers for northern ireland and this morning we got a scattering of showers across england and wales and gusty winds through the english channel. not much changes as we go through the day. we hang on to the strong wind.

especially around the coast. some showers, bright spells and sunshine, and these are our temperatures, 8-16, and these are our temperatures, 8—16, maybe 17, north to south, so below the 17—20 we would expect at this time of year. through the evening and overnight, some of the showers will ease but still strong winds especially across the far north of scotland and it's going to be cool across eastern areas would temperatures into single figures. towards the west, something not quite as cold. as we head into tomorrow, low pressure close by to the north—east of scotland so here we will see a plethora of showers, heavy and thundery, and a weather front slipping past the south—west of england which will bring thicker cloud in and some rain. in between, we are looking at a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers and still windy. temperatures tomorrow, 10—16. north to south. in the wind, it will feel cooler than even those temperatures are suggesting. 0k, thank you.

this may sound like something from a hollywood blockbuster but tonight nasa are planning to crash a spacecraft into an asteroid to change its course. that bruce willis movie. armageddon. sounds good, then. planning. this is something they are intending to do. this asteroid doesn't pose any danger to earth. but they are testing it. to see if it asteroid could be knocked off track it was heading for our planet. our science editor rebecca morelle has more. it is the stuff of hollywood — an asteroid threatening to wipe out the earth and a mission to stop it, like in the film, armageddon. but now, nasa is turning science fiction into science fact. they are about to crash a spacecraft into an asteroid to try and change its path. this space rock poses no threat,

but it's a chance to show how we could deal with one on a collision course with the earth. the double asteroid redirection test is, first and foremost, a test. it is a test of an asteroid that is not a danger to earth. there is nothing we can do to it that will make it a danger to earth, and we are doing this now when we don't have to do in order to develop the capabilities to deflect an asteroid if we ever should need to in the future. three, two, one... and lift off, of the falcon 9 and dart. the spacecraft launched last year and has travelled nearly seven million miles. after the first stage, to see those engines coming to life... - now it's nearing its destination. its target is a small space rock called dyomorphus that's orbiting a larger one. travelling at 14,000 mph, the spacecraft will crash into dyomorphus, giving the asteroid a kick. this will change its speed, and alter its orbit,

which scientists can monitor from earth to see if it's worked. it's the first time that nasa has tried anything like this, and on—board cameras will film the collision and beam the footage back to earth. but if the test is a success it will be the first step in protecting our planet should a real asteroid threat ever come our way. rebecca morrell, bbc news. we'rejoined now by doctor eamonn kerins, who's an astrophysicist and senior lecturer in astronomy at the university of manchester. good morning to you. we said quite a few times leading into the story don't worry, it's fine, it's just a practice, so what's happening? i don't want to sound like some of your older viewers who could remember michael for saying don't worry about the hurricane. but actually, my michael fish level of confidence is warranted this time because the physics of objects in

spaceis because the physics of objects in space is a lot more straightforward in many respects in the weather. there is no risk to us from this object the nasa dart mission is hurtling towards and in fact the biggest risk from any object we know of currently at about one in 2000 chance of a collision with an object sometime between 2170—2290, a long way off, a tiny risk, and that's the biggest threat we know of. it shouldn't give us any... is that why they are doing this? irate shouldn't give us any... is that why they are doing this?— shouldn't give us any... is that why they are doing this? we do know that from time to — they are doing this? we do know that from time to time, _ they are doing this? we do know that from time to time, sizable _ they are doing this? we do know that from time to time, sizable bodies - they are doing this? we do know that from time to time, sizable bodies do | from time to time, sizable bodies do enter our atmosphere, most of them burning up harmlessly in the atmosphere, but some viewers might remember in 2013 there was a 20 metre —sized rock that exploded over russia and that blast were something like 30 times the power of the hiroshima nuclear bomb. i remember that footage — hiroshima nuclear bomb. i remember that footage from _ hiroshima nuclear bomb. i remember that footage from that. _ hiroshima nuclear bomb. i remember that footage from that. a _ hiroshima nuclear bomb. i remember that footage from that. a huge - that footage from that. a huge explosion.

those challenges are just going up a gear. what we didn't say at the start of the challenges actually it was always a trilogy, so we had the seven in seven marathon then the extra mile and we have the announcement of the next one, which is quite something. it's just at eight o'clock this morning. so keep watching. sally has a lovely thumb catching up with rob on his 40th birthday today. yes, happy birthday. we will see that later. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello and good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. five police officers have been seriously injured during violent protests outside the iranian embassy in knightsbridge yesterday. the met police said

members of the crowd threw missiles at officers and breached police lines. 12 people were arrested. the embassy�*s been the focus of several days of protests following the death in custody of mahsa amini who was detained by iran's morality police for breaching the country's strict dress code. a man has been arrested at heathrow airport trying to leave the country hours after two people were critically injured in a suspected hit—and—run in hounslow. it happened on kingsley road close to the junction with taunton avenue in the early hours of yesterday morning when a car collided with four pedestrians. police say the 20—year—old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. work will start today to remove the thousands of floral tributes left in hyde park to honour the queen. a pair of shire horses will pull flatbed drays — a traditional open cart usually used in conservation work. they'll move across the royal parks to kensington palace gardens, where the flowers will be used as compost.

a runnerfrom deptford is using a rather creative way to raise money for charity and indulge in his love of running. jeric yuen spends hours planning his routes and uses gps technology to turn his visions into reality. so far, i've created a tiger, which is about 28 kilometres. a t rex in victoria park, roughly about ten kilometres. a chicken and a dolphin around elephant and castle area. i love running. and i love the creative sides of it. by combining both, i'm being able to fundraise and to help. a look at the tubes now — and there's a good service on all lines at the moment. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is a rather damp start this monday morning. we've had a couple of bounds of rain moving through overnight, one of which still with us first thing, but it will clear away fairly quickly this morning. behind it, we'll see frequent showers on this north—westerly breeze. that north—westerly breeze will feel quite chilly. we have got some sunny spells

developing as the cloud thins and breaks, but temperaturesjust about reaching 16 celsius, so definitely feeling more like autumn. overnight tonight, those showers will start to fade, or they will become more isolated. with clearer spells developing, we are hanging on to that breeze as well overnight, the minimum dropping down to seven celsius. now, for tomorrow, the low pressure is still in charge again. a mixture of sunny spells, scattered showers around the low, that north—westerly breeze. still fairly brisk through tomorrow, helping those showers blow through fairly quickly. we will still see some sunny spells, but it is going to feel quite chilly, temperatures tomorrow reaching just 15 celsius. as we head further through the week, the wind finally falls a little bit lighter for wednesday. some sunny spells around, a few showers. it's not until the end of the week things turn progressively more unsettled, especially for friday, a very wet and a very windy day. just before we go — there are some lovely pictures on our instagram of a flotilla of boats lit by fairy lights which travelled along the thames on saturday evening to honour the queen.

now it's back to sally and jon. see you soon. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. it is exactly half past seven monday morning. thank you forjoining us. john is here with all the sport. not long till the world cup and gareth southgate is already talking about what might happen afterwards. the tressure what might happen afterwards. i"i;;: pressure mounting! what might happen afterwards. t"i;;: pressure mounting! it's astonishing, really. interesting, you would saying the only other day he feels he is the best person to lead england into the next world cup, but stability, which makes you think he has consider the alternative which would be stepping down after a run of really poor results. it has not been great. the worst thing is the lack of confidence in the team. ii lack of confidence in the team. if you think about how they were a year ago, theyjust looked... in you think about how they were a year ago, they just looked. . ._ ago, they 'ust looked... in the world ago, theyjust looked... in the world cur» _ ago, theyjust looked. .. in the world cur» for— ago, theyjust looked... in the world cup for that, _ ago, theyjust looked... in the world cup for that, reaching i ago, theyjust looked... in the i world cup for that, reaching the semis, then reaching the final of the euro is thinking they were on the euro is thinking they were on

i'm not the first coach going through— i'm not the first coach going through a difficult time in terms of results _ through a difficult time in terms of results and criticism, that is part of the _ results and criticism, that is part of the territory. for me, it's a great — of the territory. for me, it's a great challenge to lead the team through— great challenge to lead the team through a moment like this. you're not going _ through a moment like this. you're not going to — through a moment like this. you're not going to have six years, as we had, _ not going to have six years, as we had, without a spell where you are going _ had, without a spell where you are going to _ had, without a spell where you are going to have some tough results. kick off tonight at 7:45. wales suffered one of those as well last night, they too have been relegated from their nations league group after losing 1—0 to poland in cardiff. the goal came courtesy of a robert lewandowski flick. wales came closest late on when gareth bale hit the bar. but bigger tests lie ahead,theirfirst world cup appearance in 64 years, not to mention that final group game against england on november 29th.

worse (pres) in the women's super league, everton beat liverpool 3nil worse at anfield.(00v)megan finnigan and jess park gave their side a comfortable half time lead, with hanna bennison wrapping up the win late on england's historic series in pakistan is turning into a bit of a classic. it's important for us to get some but more importantly, we are looking at long—term and getting games into some players

like that, that have shown a lot in our domestic cricket and scored a lot of runs and taken wickets. it's important that we give them opportunities. players and staff have been told to collect all their belongings from worcester rugby club before 4.30 this afternoon as the premiership side faces being suspended from all competitions unless they can show they've got enough money to continue. the rfu want to see evidence of insurance cover and funds to pay staff and players by the deadline. that is looking unlikely and if players don't get their september salaries, they'll be in position to walk away. their game against newcastle did take place, which they won. exeter chiefs beat harlequins 43—42 at sandy park with a last gasp try in the premiership. with quins having fought back from 31—7 down at the break, christ tshiunza dived over

you can see on his face, he really didn't like being beaten, wasn't happy at all. this isn't the way it was meant to 90, this isn't the way it was meant to go, this is in the script! but those tictures go, this is in the script! but those pictures from _ go, this is in the script! but those pictures from the _ go, this is in the script! but those pictures from the weekend, i go, this is in the script! but those i pictures from the weekend, federer and natal in tears, holding hands. as those goodbyes were said. they have been such great competitors. they are also brilliant friends, they have been through so much together and what we forget is, they were all on the tour together. they have grown up together, travelled the world together. rafa nadal has had some of the most significant moments of his area have been stood across the net from roger federer. your biggest rival is leaving, you might feel this is great, it opens things up. but leaving, you might feelthis is great, it opens things up. but it is that irat great, it opens things up. but it is that had at _ great, it opens things up. but it is that iraq at the _ great, it opens things up. but it is that iraq at the end _ great, it opens things up. but it is that iraq at the end of— great, it opens things up. but it is that iraq at the end of that - great, it opens things up. but it is that iraq at the end of that era. i that iraq at the end of that era. also it makes them think about the end of the own careers. —— —— their

the shadow chancellor rachel reeves to make the day's big speech. she'll be revealing plans for a national wealth fund to invest in green energy and technology projects. and rachel reeves joins us now from liverpool. good morning. we will talk about your national wealth fund in a moment but can we start talking about the pound, which has continued sliding overnight? down at, i think it was worth only $1.03, the lowest it was worth only $1.03, the lowest it has been in 50 years. i worried do you think our viewers should be about that this morning? 14541431111. do you think our viewers should be about that this morning?— about that this morning? well, i think it is incredibly _ about that this morning? well, i think it is incredibly concerning, | think it is incredibly concerning, what has happened. we saw the sell—off of the pound on friday after the chancellor's statement, which announced a huge number of unfunded commitments, and i think many people were hoping that would stabilise as they came into monday, but already with overnight trading

in asia and elsewhere, there has been a further sell—off of ster and i think it is at its lowest level thanit i think it is at its lowest level than it has been since decimalisation. the reason why this matters to your viewers is that when sterling falls means that things at a price particularly in dollars go up a price particularly in dollars go up in price. that includes gas and oil but other importers well and that means more pressure on inflation. it is also putting on government borrowing, it means that more of government spending will have to be devoted to servicing government debt, rather than investing in schools and hospitals. so the package on friday from the chancellor has caused this selling of sterling, and as a result it will mean higher inflation and it will mean higher inflation and it will mean a higher borrowing, notjust for the government but for ordinary families through their mortgage rates, saw the chancellor's reckless gamble on friday, i described it as like two gamble in a casino chasing a losing run, but the thing is, it

is not their money they are gambling, it is all of our money. and that is why you believe what they did on friday was irresponsible, reckless as well as being grossly unfair. this irresponsible, reckless as well as being grossly unfair.— being grossly unfair. this isn't all about friday. _ being grossly unfair. this isn't all about friday, is _ being grossly unfair. this isn't all about friday, is it? _ being grossly unfair. this isn't all about friday, is it? is _ being grossly unfair. this isn't all about friday, is it? is a _ being grossly unfair. this isn't all about friday, is it? is a more - about friday, is it? is a more complicated picture, other currencies are also trading, the euro is down quite a lot as well, not quite as much stop that euro is down quite a lot as well, not quite as much stop- not quite as much stop that is riaht, u- not quite as much stop that is right. up to — not quite as much stop that is right. up to a _ not quite as much stop that is right, up to a point. _ not quite as much stop that is right, up to a point. sterling l not quite as much stop that is| right, up to a point. sterling is not quite as much stop that is i right, up to a point. sterling is at an all—time low, that is not true for the euro over other currencies. there is something unique about what is happening to the pound sterling after the chancellor's statement on friday. after the chancellor's statement on frida . ~ ., ., after the chancellor's statement on frida .~ ., ., , . after the chancellor's statement on frida .~ ., , . ., after the chancellor's statement on frida. ., ,. ., friday. what do you expect to happen in terms of trying _ friday. what do you expect to happen in terms of trying to _ friday. what do you expect to happen in terms of trying to stem _ friday. what do you expect to happen in terms of trying to stem that - friday. what do you expect to happen in terms of trying to stem that drop . in terms of trying to stem that drop in terms of trying to stem that drop in the pound? you think the bank of england, they say they are independent, should they be looking at interest rate increases? 14541431111. at interest rate increases? well, and a former _ at interest rate increases? well, and a former bank— at interest rate increases? well, and a former bank of— at interest rate increases? well, and a former bank of england i and a former bank of england economist, and i think the bank will come under pressure to stem this

inflationary pressure and selling off of ster but we need the chancellor to get a grip of this. one of the things that look and sound financial markets on friday was that more and more money was going to go into borrowing on government debt, despite the fact that there are windfall profits being made by the energy giants, which the government refuses to tax to fund the energy price cap, and the government are cutting taxes for the government are cutting taxes for the very wealthiest in society on a permanent basis on the basis they think that somehow, that wealth will trickle down to everybody else. that has been tried in the past and it hasn't worked and i don't believe it will work today. but we need to hear from the chancellor, his plans to get a grip on the public finances, because that is what is giving real concern to market traders, but not just them, it really concerns ordinary working people who are seeing, as i say, inflation already at a a0 year high, mortgage rates

are going up, and who is benefiting from all of this? it is bankers who have seen bonus cap removed, those earning more than £150,000 a year, who are getting tens of thousands of pounds in tax cuts. you who are getting tens of thousands of pounds in tax cuts.— pounds in tax cuts. you have said that he will _ pounds in tax cuts. you have said that he will reverse _ pounds in tax cuts. you have said that he will reverse that - pounds in tax cuts. you have said that he will reverse that change l that he will reverse that change that he will reverse that change that the chancellor is proposing, to the very highest level of income tax bands. but you say you will stick with his plan to reduce income tax at the base rate from 20p to 19p, how would you afford that? you were talking about spending, how would you talking about spending, how would y°u pay talking about spending, how would you pay for that?— talking about spending, how would you pay for that? there are a number of thins you pay for that? there are a number of things we — you pay for that? there are a number of things we oppose _ you pay for that? there are a number of things we oppose that _ you pay for that? there are a number of things we oppose that the - of things we oppose that the government are doing, including that a5p, but also we would be taxing the excess profits at energy giants are making. the government are leaving tens of billions of pounds on the table, but now is going on borrowing, so although we are having our energy prices capped, we will all be paying for that in years to

come, current and future taxpayers, with higher taxes to pay that back rather than taxing the energy giants. so there are differences in the number of levels between what the number of levels between what the chancellor is doing and what labour will do. the chancellor is doing and what labourwill do. on the chancellor is doing and what labour will do. on the 19p rate, i've been clearfor a long time now, ordinary working people need a break, the cost—of—living crisis is playing havoc with people's finances, energy prices up, the cost of the weekly food shop up, which is not going up and that's why we said that national shirts increases was the wrong tax at the wrong time. taking the money from the pockets of working people and the businesses that employ them. and it is why the cat in the basic rate of tax from 20p in 19p, to help people manage the finances during these really difficult times.— the finances during these really difficult times. you might support it but there _ difficult times. you might support it but there are _ difficult times. you might support it but there are other _ difficult times. you might support it but there are other people - difficult times. you might support | it but there are other people within labour don't think that cutting of the lower rate of income tax is the right thing, among them andy burnham who has said he's not sure that that

is way ahead. you might have a bit of a battle on your hands persuading the conference. most people recognise when you got a cost of living crisis and people on average incomes, modest incomes, are really struggling, with those higher prices, it is fair to allow ordinary working people to keep a bit more of their money and that's why we support that tax cut, why we have always said increasing national insurance which went up in april, was the wrong thing to do. we are the party of ordinary working people. we want them to keep more of their own money especially right now when there are such pressures on family finances.— family finances. what about the chancellor _ family finances. what about the chancellor is _ family finances. what about the chancellor is cut _ family finances. what about the chancellor is cut in _ family finances. what about the chancellor is cut in stamp - family finances. what about the chancellor is cut in stamp duty l family finances. what about the i chancellor is cut in stamp duty for some ordinary working people? would you keep that? i’m some ordinary working people? would you keep that?— you keep that? i'm quite sceptical about the changes _ you keep that? i'm quite sceptical about the changes in _ you keep that? i'm quite sceptical about the changes in stamp - you keep that? i'm quite sceptical about the changes in stamp duty i you keep that? i'm quite sceptical. about the changes in stamp duty that have been announced. this is not the first time stamp duty has been cut. that happened a few years ago and on that occasion, around one third of

the money went to people who are buying second homes, third homes, buying second homes, third homes, buy to let properties. i don't think that's a good use. we haven't seen the details of what the government have set out but i'm very sceptical it will make a difference. i would prefer targeted support to help first—time buyers and a programme of home—building so people have a chance to get on the housing ladder. a blanket cut in stamp duty which, last time, helps people buying multiple properties, isn't the right use of taxpayers money. we multiple properties, isn't the right use of taxpayers money.— use of taxpayers money. we were talkin: use of taxpayers money. we were talking about — use of taxpayers money. we were talking about your _ use of taxpayers money. we were talking about your national- use of taxpayers money. we werej talking about your national wealth fund you are announcing today. i suppose people can understand tax cuts, they can see in their payslips what difference i can make to them, understand energy bills and look on their bills and see how that changes and a national wealth fund, what realistic practical difference could not make to people's everyday lives? there is a global race going on at the moment for thejobs there is a global race going on at the moment for the jobs and industries of the future. and i'm really optimistic about britain can get their share of that with jobs here, with factories here, in

britain. but we will only do that if government partners with business and that's what we are seeing in countries around the world but come at the moment, britain risks falling behind in that race which is why, through conversations i've had with businesses and business leaders, i am putting forward today labours plans for a national wealth fund so government can invest alongside businesses to ensure that we get that investment here in britain to invest for example in electric battery vehicle factories, carbon capture and storage, offshore wind, imports of any form of the future and that will mean jobs here imports of any form of the future and that will meanjobs here in britain and it will mean the british taxpayer has a stake in those investments and will get a return on those investments. that is the way to create sustainable growth felt in all corners of the united kingdom, notjust all corners of the united kingdom, not just trickle down all corners of the united kingdom, notjust trickle down economics, but a police growth comes from the bottom up and the middle out, through the efforts and endeavours of ordinary working people and

businesses right across the country. this is an exciting opportunity, not just to tackle climate change, but also to getjobs and investment here, good quality high paying jobs all around the country and that's labours plan for growth in contrast to the trickle down economics we've heard from a chancel on friday. thank you very much we have to leave it there for the thank you very much indeed. more a bit later on and nina will have the latest on the pound and how trading is around the world with a market opening in london. a busy programme this morning. i think we may need some sunshine. i don't think carol can promise as that but she certainly brought as a rainbow. good morning, some sunshine in the forecast in the next few days but it's also going to be quite unsettled for some of us and cool, temperature is below average for the time of year. showers, as well, rain, and on friday, particularly wet and windy. what we have at the moment is this weather front moving south taking the rain with it which

will continue to clear away. a second one enhancing the showers but just look at those isobars. wherever you are today is going to be windy. a wet night for most of us and we can see the rain continuing its journey down toward the south—east but a plethora of showers behind and, yes, some snow on top of the mountains in scotland. we will see that again tonight and tomorrow, as well, but it is just their tops. through today, we see the back edge of the rain move away and we are back into sunshine and also some showers. gusty winds, as well. the black circles representing the strength of the wind gusts. the strongest wind along the coast inland certainly noticeable and that will have an impact on the temperatures and it will feel cool today. temperatures below average. 8-17, today. temperatures below average. 8—17, north to south. the average is 17-20 north 8—17, north to south. the average is 17—20 north to south. through this evening, some showers will fade but not all of them. it will still be windy and gusting to gale force across the far north of scotland and

under clear skies especially in the east it's going to be a cold night with temperatures falling away between a—7. not quite as cold out towards the west. tomorrow, no pressure close by to the north—east of scotland, you can see a plethora of scotland, you can see a plethora of showers. some heavy and thundery. another whether front slipping past the south—west of england bringing increasing cloud and rain. in between, a mixture of bright spells, sunny intervals, and showers and gusty winds taking the edge off those temperatures, 11—16. tuesday into wednesday, there goes that whether front affecting the south—west. it slips off but we still do have some showery outbreaks of rain coming down the north sea coastline, but one thing you will notice is the wind have eased more so a lot of dry weather in between these two systems, still some showers in west wales, the south—west, and the rain coming down from north—east scotland towards east anglia and temperatures, 12—16.

wednesday into thursday, a ridge of high pressure, but as we head on into friday, things change and an active area of no pressure comes our way bringing wet and windy conditions with it. we have been warned. carol, thank you very much indeed. as part of the supergroup take that, mark owen has won countless awards, sold millions of albums and taken the world by storm, but he's also no stranger to solo success. now, the singer songwriter is back with his first new album in nine years. he's been writing the album whilst living in la, but now he's brought it back to mum and dad. let's take a look. # let's just say it's magic. # magic magic. # let's just say it's magic. # ooh ooh. # let's just say it's magic. # magic, magic. # i can feel it everywhere. # let's just say it's magic.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today: the pound plunges to an all—time low against the us dollar overnight — days after the chancellor unveiled historic tax cuts in his mini budget. as markets open in london, we'll be keeping an eye on trading and exchange rates. if the pound stays low, inflation will go up. i ask, what comes next? italy is set to have its first female prime minister as far right leader giorgia meloni claims victory in the country's general election. we catch up with the sportsmen defying the odds as they live with motor neurone disease. hi, dodd. not seen you for a while. how have you been, you big giraffe? sally laughs good morning. with one game to go before the world cup begins, how gareth southgate's future's in the spotlight, a year after leading england to the euros final.

good morning, we have rain continuing to play at the south—east and for all of us it is a measure of bright spells, sunny intervals and some showers. wherever you are it is going to be windy and cool. i will have the details later in the programme. it's monday the 26th of september. our main story. the pound has fallen to an all—time low against the us dollar overnight. the record slump came after the government unveiled tax cuts funded by huge increases in borrowing. let's talk more to nina about this. what has caused this huge slide? through where we are at. overnight we saw the — through where we are at. overnight we saw the pound _ through where we are at. overnight we saw the pound drop _ through where we are at. overnight we saw the pound drop to _ through where we are at. overnight we saw the pound drop to less i through where we are at. overnight we saw the pound drop to less than | we saw the pound drop to less than $1 that is record—breaking, it has never been that low. if you go back to generate this year, it was about $1.a0, so you can see the drop—off. it has recovered slightly in the last year as part it's still really

worrying. why has it happened with mike words like confidence, credibility in sterling have been thrown around since the announcement offered is a massive tax cuts across the board being funded by borrowing which we know is already very expensive and it makes investors around the world say, do i want to invest in pound sterling? is that what i want my money to be, is it too volatile, is it unsafe? why does it matter to you? if you go to the united states your money will not go as far and it's the same with the euro at the moment, the no —— but not as extreme. it also matters when it comes to importing lots of things from the united states, they become more expensive and they contribute to that inflationary pressure which we are already suffering from. what happens now? we talk a lot about whether the bank of england will increase interest rates in order to reduce the volatility ability and restore confidence. the chancellor said he is relaxed about what he sees as immediate reaction to it, he

says things will settle down by cutting taxes long—term, investment will grow and standards will increase. it is a real worry for businesses which might import things. it's a real worry for every household where we are already seeing high inflation. in the last few hours it has recovered slightly, we will be keeping a close eye on it as a markets open in london but undoubtedly this is not what the government would want to be hearing on the monday morning after that many budget on friday. if on the monday morning after that many budget on friday.— on the monday morning after that many budget on friday. if you're not aoian many budget on friday. if you're not aoain on many budget on friday. if you're not going on holiday _ many budget on friday. if you're not going on holiday and _ many budget on friday. if you're not going on holiday and exchange i going on holiday and exchange currency, it doesn't really apply to me, you might think. write down to those energy bills, mortgages and credit cards, it does have an impact. credit cards, it does have an im act. �* , . , impact. and the wider picture is alobal impact. and the wider picture is global confidence _ impact. and the wider picture is global confidence in _ impact. and the wider picture is global confidence in our- impact. and the wider picture is | global confidence in our currency impact. and the wider picture is i global confidence in our currency in pounds sterling mac and that is really important commodities about the nation and about long—term nina, thanks very much. our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in liverpool for the labour party conference. nick, talk us through the reaction

there to this financial news? good morning. we heard from the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves about half an hour ago in the programme and her argument was, this is basically down to the announcements the chancellor made on friday, but it was, as she described it, a reckless gamble and because the levels of borrowing that the government is prepared to do are so significant, the markets have been spooked. the argument you will hear at the labour conference today is that that is a big problem and that it is incredibly concerning. have a listen to rachel reeves. when sterling _ have a listen to rachel reeves. when sterling falls, have a listen to rachel reeves. when sterling fails, it means that things that are _ sterling fails, it means that things that are priced particularly in dollars— that are priced particularly in dollars go up in price. that includes _ dollars go up in price. that includes gas and oil but it also includes — includes gas and oil but it also includes other imports. that means more _ includes other imports. that means more pressure on inflation. it is also _ more pressure on inflation. it is also putting pressure on government borrowing. _ also putting pressure on government borrowing. it means that more government spending will have to be devoted _ government spending will have to be devoted to servicing government debt rather—

term or medium term it will lead to economic growth which will be good for everybody. but there is a lot of pressure now on the government today to look at what's happened, to look at the market reaction and come up with some sort of explanation. they will be hoping that as the markets openin will be hoping that as the markets open in london, round about now, that the situation gets better, but they know they can't be sure and they know they can't be sure and they know they can't be sure and they know that over the next few hours there will be a lot of pressure on ministers to see a bit more. ~ , ~' , pressure on ministers to see a bit more. ~ , ~ , ., . pressure on ministers to see a bit more. , ~ , , more. we will be keeping a close eye on the pound- _ big changes in italy. far—right leader giorgia meloni has claimed victory in italy's election, and is on course to become the country's first female prime minister. let's talk more about this with our europe correspondent jessica parker, who's in verona.

it isa it is a big deal in italy and the first female perimeter ever, the most right—wing government since the second world war. and here in verona when you speak to people, there was a huge sense of apathy approaching this election but giorgia meloni had to some extent cut through with her message on tax cuts. she also wants to take a hard line on immigration, she has talked about putting up a naval blockade on libya to stop people on small boats crossing across to italy. and as well, i think for the european union, she has promised to take a strong stance —— might stance in supporting ukraine, there are nervous about some of the people she has campaigned alongside and their previous ties to the cremin but this is undoubtedly a big moment for italy and when you speak to people here, one of the major concerns is the energy crisis, the cost of living here and that is something that giorgia meloni will be under pressure to deal with pretty

quickly. five rescue workers have been killed in a typhoon that has swept through the philippines, devastating homes and leaving millions without electricity. super typhoon noru brought gusts of up to 149 miles—an—hour to the main island of luzon, where more than 50 million people live. residents were seen stranded on their roofs and others wading through high waters. more than 7a,000 people have so far been evacuated from the typhoon�*s path. five people have been arrested after protests took place outside the iranian embassy in london yesterday. the met police said members of the crowd threw missiles at officers and breached police lines, leaving several officers injured but none seriously hurt. the demonstrations have been sparked by the death of mahsa amini in custody after being detained by iranian morality police. it is 8:09.

here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. the weather this week will be changeable. at times it will be wet and it's good to be windy and cool but some such an in between, and that certainly is the forecast for today. we have rain which is pushing away from the south—east and then behind it all of us we are looking at a mixture of bright spells, sunny intervals and showers, and noticeably windy, the strongest winds around the coasts especially the north of scotland but anywhere around the coasts you will still notice a strong went inland as well. it will make it feel cooler than temperatures suggest, which is 817 celsius zero the south. it remains windy as we head through the rush hour, still a few showers dotted around southern england, wales into northern england, there is a lot of dry weather as well. some showers and still windy across northern ireland and scotland but in between a lot of dry weather and also some sunny spells with the strongest winds across the north of scotland.

we will hang onto that scenario as we go through the course of this evening and overnight. overnight, some of the showers but not all will fade, it will be cool in the east, not as cold in the west, that's how we start tomorrow. tomorrow another windy day with the strongest winds still in the north, we also have a lot of showers here, some heavy infantry. with the weather front slipping past the south—west of england the cloud will thicken and we will see some rain in between, bright spells, such an showers and in the wind, feeling cool. for the past two and a half years on breakfast, we have been following the story of former rugby league player rob burrow, who is living with motor neurone disease. today rob turns 40, defying the odds. his friend and former teammate kevin sinfield has undertaken extraordinary challenges to raise millions of pounds for those affected by mnd.

mnd is the toughest battle me and my family will ever face. mnd is a horrific disease. i'm determined to get better and i look at all the reasons i've got to live. gentlemen, it is lovely to see you all again. rob, i'm going to start with you. it is quite a while now since we all were together, since we introduced you to doddie

and obviously stephen darby too, and we got together for a chat. since then, how are you doing and how is life at the moment? a lot has happened since i met the guys for the first time. i could walk and talk with the guys when i met them in edinburgh. i declined a lot throughout lockdown. i am now settled down and not got any worse for 18 months now and that is called a plateau. to be honest, i didn't think i would be here now. it's been quite a while since you've seen doddie. what was it like to see him again today? hi, dodd, not seen you for a while. how have you been, you big giraffe? remember when we all met in scotland? what a day that was. and it started something i think that's really quite special. how have you been since then?

hi, ed. how the devil are you? welcome to the dream team. yeah. ed, obviously, this is the first time that we've got you together with the guys. i know it's really early days for you. how important is it for you to see the, i guess, the mental strength that both doddie and rob and also stephen darby, that they all have that's been carrying them through so far? how is that for you? yeah, hugely important. i think, you know, through these guys that i'm sat with and stephen is where i get my awareness

of the disease itself. so from my point of view, just the dust has settled a little bit on the diagnosis. so day to day, i'm now learning to live with the disease. so that's challenging at times. the impact it has on the family is difficult, but it's fantastic to be in a room with these guys and hopefully if i can add a small fraction to the work that they've done, i'll have achieved something. how are you? i'm 0k. i'm probably feeling symptoms a bit more now than when i was initially diagnosed, so that's difficult. i'm ok at the moment. you know, functionally, day to day, it's not impacting me hugely. but, as i say, there are small signs of things to come. but, you know, i have to get my head around that. and, you know, being here with these

guys, you've mentioned it already, the mental strength that i'm going to need to have to get through this is going to be huge. ed, i remember saying to the lads at the time, you know, this is the team that they never wanted to be on. the most important thing at this point actually is hope to be able to have some kind of a hope that something's coming down the line. i can only speak of my experience. being diagnosed was a lot of frustration around the fact that there were questions they couldn't give me answers to. the work isn't done at the money that's been made available. it goes well beyond that. and also, i just want to acknowledge as well doddie said about getting together. and i've benefited massively

from speaking to people that that have also got mnd. and i've spoke two or three other people now as well. and that's been huge because, as i say, the information i've got has been a little bit mixed and speaking to people with the condition actually helps you and gives you that strength that he's talking about. kevin has raised millions of pounds so far in his efforts to support rob and all of you. how important, ed, is the work that kevin's been doing? you know, inspirational pre my diagnosis, you know, i watched it as well and thought, you know, how amazing the work that he was doing to raise awareness as well as money for the disease was massive. now i'm part of it, you know, i can add my voice to exactly what he's doing. i know these guys will know kev a lot better than than i do. but the challenge he's taken on has taken huge mental strength and the support he's given

the community is something we can all take strength from as well. kevin, so far you've done seven marathons in seven days. 101 miles. but there's another one coming, isn't there? what is that? i start in edinburgh and run from edinburgh to murrayfield to old trafford. seven days, we are sticking with that theme, the number seven again. we will try and hit places, locations that mean a lot to doddie, rob and stephen. we will do seven ultras in seven days. since plans are being put in place, we then hear of ed's diagnosis. it only strengthens the team. the four of them together is an incredible team. you put a rugby team together, and add stephen in there together, they will be unbeaten. i'm so honoured i get to represent

doddie, stephen and rob, who started the campaign and now we are joined by ed, so we become a very powerful team. i'm delighted we can represent them. sadly stephen darby can't be with us today but he has sent you all a message. this is what he says. "doddie and rob remain a constant source of strength to me and steph. i can't speak highly enough of kevin sinfield and the amazing things he has done firstly and foremost for rob. the person kevin is, though, he hasn't stopped there, and nobody i know some more to raise money and highlight motor neurone disease at a national level than kevin. i will be at bradford in november to give him all our support and to see him cross the finish line." i will keep these as best. laughter.

captain kev. i didn't know what the next crazy challenge for kevin was until today but i knew it would be the hardest and now got to ask what sort of guy would put his body in harms way for his little mate, his brother. i love him like family and i know my family do too. gentlemen, thank you very much indeed for talking to us today. i wish you all the best of luck. and kevin, good luck. wow. it's even worse than the other ones. in his ultra seven in seven challenge, kevin aims to run 60 kilometres per day for seven days. his route will take him from murrayfield stadium in edinburgh to melrose, newcastle, middlesbrough, york, leeds and bradford before he enters the field

at manchester's old trafford stadium during half time in the mens rugby league world cup final. that's going to be quite something. and to tell us more, kevinjoins us now. good morning. iapologise good morning. i apologise for listing all those cities and all those miles you're going to run. more marathons, this time ultra marathons, why did you decide on this challenge, because it's so much tougher and more brutal than anything you've done before? tougher and more brutalthan anything you've done before? yeah, well, this anything you've done before? yeah, well. this was _ anything you've done before? yeah, well, this was the _ anything you've done before? yeah, well, this was the original _ anything you've done before? yeah, well, this was the original plan - well, this was the original plan before we started the seven in seven, we want to actually run a marathon each day on our way down from edinburgh, and because of covid, it got quickly scrapped. after we finished the extra mile last year, 101 miles, i knew very quickly we would revisit this and try and make it a little bit longer.

five police officers have been seriously injured during violent protests outside the iranian embassy in knightsbridge yesterday. the met police said members of the crowd threw missiles at officers and breached police lines. 12 people were arrested. the embassy�*s been the focus of several days of protests following the death of mahsa amini in custody after being detained by iranian morality police. around a,000 staff at 29 colleges — including some in london — have begun what could be up to ten days of strike action. it's about a dispute over pay — which has been rising slower than the rate of inflation. the university and college union says staff from lewisham, lambeth and southwark colleges have walked out this morning. work will start today to remove the thousands of floral tributes left in hyde park to honour the queen. a pair of shire horses will pull flatbed drays — a traditional open cart usually used in conservation work. they'll move across the royal parks

to kensington palace gardens where the flowers will be used as compost. a runnerfrom deptford is using a rather creative way to raise money for charity — and indulge in his love of running. jeric yuen spends hours planning his routes and uses gps technology to turn his visions into reality. so far, i've created a tiger, which is about 28 kilometres. a t rex in victoria park, roughly about ten kilometres. a chicken and a dolphin around elephant and castle area. i love running and i love the creative side of it. by combining both, i'm being able to fundraise and to help. a look at the tubes now — and there's a good service on all lines at the moment. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is a rather damp start this monday morning. we've had a couple of bounds of rain moving through overnight, one of which still with us first thing, but it will clear away fairly quickly this morning.

behind it, we'll see frequent showers on this north—westerly breeze. that north—westerly breeze will feel quite chilly. we have got some sunny spells developing as the cloud thins and breaks, but temperaturesjust about reaching 16 celsius, so definitely feeling more like autumn. overnight tonight, those showers will start to fade, or they will become more isolated. with clearer spells developing, we are hanging on to that breeze as well overnight, the minimum dropping down to seven celsius. now, for tomorrow, the low pressure is still in charge again. a mixture of sunny spells, scattered showers around the low, that north—westerly breeze. still fairly brisk through tomorrow, helping those showers blow through fairly quickly. we will still see some sunny spells, but it is going to feel quite chilly, temperatures tomorrow reaching just 15 celsius. as we head further through the week, the wind finally falls a little bit lighter for wednesday. some sunny spells around, a few showers. it's not until the end of the week things turn progressively more unsettled, especially for friday, a very wet and a very windy day. just before we go —

there are some lovely pictures on our instagram of a flotilla of boats lit by fairy lights, which travelled along the thames on saturday evening to honour the queen. now it's back to sally and jon. see you soon. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. we have been looking at the pound this morning which plunged overnight. all eyes on the economy again and it's a big week for energy bills again. the again and it's a big week for energy bills aiain. . ., ., , ., bills again. the average household bill due to rise _ bills again. the average household bill due to rise in _ bills again. the average household bill due to rise in the _ bills again. the average household bill due to rise in the 1st _ bills again. the average household bill due to rise in the 1st of- bill due to rise in the 1st of october, that isjust bill due to rise in the 1st of october, that is just this coming saturday. october, that is 'ust this coming saturda . , , , _ saturday. they were capped by the nu er saturday. they were capped by the gnu per minister _ saturday. they were capped by the gnu per minister earlier— saturday. they were capped by the gnu per minister earlier this i saturday. they were capped by the j gnu per minister earlier this month but what will that mean? not going up but what will that mean? not going up as much as expected but some customers are recovering from the sight of those bills they have got with vastly higher direct debits still ahead in the weeks to come. nina has been looking at this for us, because despite the measures put in place by the government of the

last couple of weeks, some people still will be four in of a shock? that's right and from the beginning of the year we have been bracing ourselves for this october hike. the support packages were put in place, those announcements came, we are only getting a sense of it now, there letters and e—mails coming through. energy firms have been sending letters and e—mails telling customers their bills were about to go through the roof, and that is despite the announced support measures. let's have a quick reminder of what they are. typical household energy bills are being capped at £2500, that's from saturday. before that announcement the price cap had been due to rise tojust over £3500 a the price cap had been due to rise to just over £3500 a year. the so—called energy price guarantee will last for two years but it's really important to say your bill will depend on how much energy you actually use, if you use more you will pay more than that. the plan applies to all households in england, scotland and wales and the same level of support will be

available in northern ireland. there is also that £a00 energy bill discount for households, that will go ahead from october but despite all of that, people are seeing their direct debits rocket. customers of e.on have been among those raising complaints last week. let's have a look at some of them. one customer tweeted to say they are confused and worried because their energy bill will rise to £323 from october having beenjust will rise to £323 from october having been just £91 will rise to £323 from october having beenjust £91 last will rise to £323 from october having been just £91 last year. will rise to £323 from october having beenjust £91 last year. one customer's direct debit increasing by almost £300, to £a58. at cal said their quarterly direct debit could be tripled to £900. opening those letters and e—mails can be completely overwhelming. we asked an expert what to do if your worried. the price cap has increased and will increase _ the price cap has increased and will increase from the ist of october. to be around _ increase from the ist of october. to be around double what it was last year~ _ be around double what it was last year~ the — be around double what it was last year. the government has capped the unit price _

still be windy and cold, especially in eastern areas. temperatures slipping away between roughly a and 7. a shed towards the west and not quite as cool. tomorrow, another windy day in prospect, still strong winds across the north of scotland, here we have low pressure close by so a lot of showers, some of those heavy infantry. as a new weather front moves past the south—west of england, it will bring in some thicker coat and also some rain. in between once again, we are looking at a mixture of bright spells, sunny intervals and some showers, and in the wind once again it will feel cool with temperatures still below average, looking at roughly 11 to 17 celsius. thank you very much indeed. the eurovision song contest, as you might know, is heading to the uk next year after the organisers decided it couldn't be held in ukraine because of the ongoing war.
