6:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today... social care providers in england warn that a complete overhaul of the system is needed to prevent millions of people from being left without support. these are people. sorry. i just think society is not doing what they should do. the uk defies climate warnings by announcing a new licensing round for oil and gas exploration in the north sea. but it won't help this winter —
6:01 am
as national grid warn the worst case scenario could mean rolling power cuts. the prime minister of thailand orders an investigation into an attack at a nursery, which killed at least 38 people, including many children. eltonjohn and prince harry are among several public figures taking legal action against the publisher of the daily mail over what they call "gross breaches of privacy." the big fight between the sons of two boxing legends is off. conor benn won't get the chance to face chris eubankjunior, tomorrow, after a trace of a fertility drug was found in a sample provided by benn. be prepared for showers. we will all get wet at some point. the full forecast in breakfast. it's friday the 7th of october.
6:02 am
our main story. social care providers are warning that millions of people could be left without support, unless there is a complete overhaul of the system. care england — which is the body that represents independent services — says a proper vision is needed, or the nhs "will be on its knees." jeremy cooke reports. are we ready for our lovely...? wendy hughes is bringing care into the community... your medication, sweetheart. really? why aye. ..to mark, an ex—navy diver now living with dementia. that's fabulous. for mark and his family, this is priceless help. i'll do the dishes. next stop the bathroom. but today's poll by ipsos mori for bbc news suggests more than 70% of people aged over 55 are not confident that care is reaching many of those who need it. a shortage of staff like wendy lies at the heart of what many call the care crisis. let's go. better wages would help. often wendy's appointments run over, and its time she doesn't get paid for.
6:03 am
my wage isn't the living wage any more. that's rubbish. on paper, it's a living wage but it's not. notjust me, every other carer out there. everybody doing this kind of work. the government says it doesn't set pay levels for care workers, and that it's a matter for local authorities and other care providers. but it is planning to invest £15 million to recruit more staff from overseas. the care sector wants radical, urgent change. if we get this wrong, there'll be hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people who will be in crisis. we'll have an nhs that will be absolutely clogged with people and the entire system, both health and social care, will be on its knees. so the stakes here are extremely high. it's been a year since the government announced plans to introduce a national insurance levy in part to help improve adult social care. wonderful. that's now been scrapped, leaving carers and care providers asking where the money will come from. jeremy cooke, bbc news, newcastle.
6:04 am
now we can have a cup of coffee. the king of thailand will visit survivors of an attack at a nursery school, which left 37 people dead, including many children. officials say the attacker was a former police officer, who later killed his family before turning the gun on himself. dan johnson reports. the number of coffins give some sense of the scale of loss here. but it is the young age of many victims which has most shocked this country. it's also left a community, and so many families, in grief. at least 23 children were killed, some just two years old, having a lunchtime nap when the attack began. of the children, armed with a gun and a knife. he was slashing the knife.
6:05 am
i didn't know what to do. the 34—year—old former police sergeant was sacked injune for using drugs and was awaiting a court verdict. he drove home after the attack, and killed his wife and child before taking his own life. more parents have been arriving this morning to see the scene for themselves. and, later, the king and the prime minister are due to visit. this is a quiet part of rural thailand, where people are struggling to comprehend what can have motivated such violence against the most innocent young lives. dan johnson, bbc news. let's get the latest from the scene with our south east asia correspondent, jonathan head. very good morning to you. i know you spent a lot of time at the location yesterday, over the past 24—hour is. give us more of a sense of how the
6:06 am
community has been impacted. it is absolutel community has been impacted. it 3 absolutely colossal. it is a relatively small village. most people are involved in agriculture, they grow a lot of sugar here. many people have moved away and grandparents are bringing up the young children. they cleaned up the school yesterday. it was a horrible, eerie scene. there is a wreath on the front door. a lot of people on the front door. a lot of people on the side of the complex whether school is, all of the community has come together. they together with buddhist monks and local officials. it is a sharing of the burden. they have been given financial assistance. a great sense everyone wants to help and they are building themselves around the bereaved parents to give them the kind of support you typically get entire communities, it is a very community
6:07 am
based society. it is profoundly shocking. we are still at the stage of dealing with what grief. parents want our answers. that is the hardest thing to find. one man did something almost unimaginable. it is hard to explain what went on in his life to allow him to do that. what we have is 23 young lives and a lot of adults as well all taken in one dreadful moment. the of adults as well all taken in one dreadful moment.— dreadful moment. the king of thailand is — dreadful moment. the king of thailand is due _ dreadful moment. the king of thailand is due to _ dreadful moment. the king of thailand is due to visit - dreadful moment. the king of thailand is due to visit today. | dreadful moment. the king of. thailand is due to visit today. tell us a little bit about that visit. that is symbolically extremely important. we understand the king may offer to preside over the funerals of all of the victims. that is always very auspicious thing. the king of thailand doesn't get out about much, he is not often seen. he wants to come up with the queen this
6:08 am
evening to show support and solidarity to the victims. that will help. the king is not universally popular but he sits in a very exalted position. in small communities like that they will feel a great sense of support the entire government and the royal family themselves will throw their weight behind sharing their grieving. thank ou ve behind sharing their grieving. thank you very much- _ there will be more oil and gas exploration in the north sea, after the government announced its offering up to 100 new development licences to companies. ministers say the projects will boost energy security and support skilled jobs. but the decision is at odds with climate scientists. here's our environment correspondent, jonah fisher. these new north sea licences will take years to yield results, and they'll have very little impact on the oil and gas prices that we all pay. this licensing round is part of the government's response to a crisis triggered by russia's invasion of ukraine. it's aimed at reducing our
6:09 am
dependence on imports of fossil fuels from abroad. about 100 licences are expected to be issued with parts of the north sea off norfolk, lincolnshire and yorkshire set to be fast—tracked because they can start producing faster. so how does exploring for the fossil fuels that heat our planet fit in with the government's promises to fight climate change? jacob rees—mogg, the business secretary, says fossil fuels are still needed as we transition to renewable energy, and that the uk's production methods are cleaner, meaning new north sea oil and gas will have less of a carbon footprint. that won't reassure climate scientists. they say greenhouse gas emissions are already leading to more extreme weather events, like heatwaves and drought. the advice of the united nations and the international energy agency is clear.
6:10 am
the first licences from this new north sea round are expected to be issued early next year. jonah fisher, bbc news. we heard injonah's report that this latest round of oil and gas extraction may help with energy supplies in the longer term. but there are more immediate concerns about this winter. hannah is with us. this is the story lots of people talked about yesterday. it is possible in various scenarios. a worst possible scenario is that counts. it scenarios. a worst possible scenario is that counta— scenarios. a worst possible scenario is that counts-— is that counts. it sounds really dramatic _ is that counts. it sounds really dramatic. then _ is that counts. it sounds really dramatic. then national- is that counts. it sounds really dramatic. then national grid l is that counts. it sounds really - dramatic. then national grid samy could experience power cuts at peak times this winter. it has got everybody talking. the most likely
6:11 am
outcome is we do not experience any problems. people should not be unduly worried. the problem does come if the energy crisis escalates in europe and there is not enough gas available. that would be a problem because around half of uk's electricity needs gas to generate electricity needs gas to generate electricity in the first place. if there is not enough gas it could lead to power cuts, which could likely be in the evenings, around three hours at a time. it would happen when there is a lot of pressure on energy supplies. they are suggesting between full pm and 7pm. they are saying we would be warned in advance if cuts are likely to come and they would be rotated, so not everyone, all across the country would be affected exactly the same. national grid says if it were to happen, hospitals and vulnerable individuals, they say,
6:12 am
would keep their energy supplies. that would keep their energy supplies. at that moment in time people are thinking about how to save energy now, how to keep costs down. everyone is worried about their own bills. energy—saving committee people were to keep costs down images energy that could reduce demand on the whole system. that would be helpful in terms of preventing power cuts. there were reports in the times this morning the department of business had been looking at a public information campaign to try to help people save energy but that has been rejected by number 10, we understand, because they do not want to be seen to tell people what to do, as it were. what might be interesting for a lot of people as there is a scheme planned to pay you to reduce your usage at certain times, for people who have a smart metre. they might be able to get around £10 a day if they are not
6:13 am
using energy at certain times. son doubts in the industry as to exactly how this will work. —— some doubts in the industry. how this will work. -- some doubts in the industry-— in the industry. these are trials. if ou in the industry. these are trials. if you have _ in the industry. these are trials. if you have a _ in the industry. these are trials. if you have a smart _ in the industry. these are trials. if you have a smart metre - in the industry. these are trials. if you have a smart metre you . in the industry. these are trials. - if you have a smart metre you make the certain energy companies be involved with that next month. prince harry and sir eltonjohn are among a group of high profile public figures, who have started legal action against the publishers of the daily mail and the mail on sunday. the group says associated newspapers obtained stories about them by invading their privacy. associated newspapers called the accusations "defamatory." our home affairs correspondent tom symonds has the story. veterans of the fight against media intrusion. now, prince harry, eltonjohn and his husband david furnish, liz hurley and sadie frost have combined forces to take on the mail, along with, and this was a surprise, baroness doreen lawrence. she's had a warm relationship with the daily mail. two of her son's stephen's killers
6:14 am
were jailed in 2012. but this is what the lawyers for her and the others now say associated newspaper journalists have been involved with — bugging cars and homes, listening to private telephone calls, paying police officers for sensitive information, obtaining medical and financial records. more serious allegations even than phone hacking, according to a lawyer, who's been involved in legal action against associated newspapers. they are highly intrusive. they are a means of delving into the private lives of people, and private lives, which are protected by statutes under the human rights act and by convention by the european convention on human rights. so it is a gross invasion of privacy. if these things occurred, and it would be absolutely right and proper if they did occur that associated newspapers and hopefully some of their senior
6:15 am
figures are held to account. phone hacking was not practised by the mail on sunday or the daily mail. that was the former mail editor in 2012. yesterday's statement from associated newspapers... baroness lawrence had been persuaded to endorse lies, the company said. it's headed for court and it's likely to take years to resolve. if the mail's owners were to lose, the stakes are enormous. tom symonds, bbc news. the new head of the metropolitan police, sir mark rowley, has vowed to remove anyone who damages the integrity of the force, after a bbc investigation found
6:16 am
of racist messages in a whatsapp group with recently—serving police officers. one of the former officers, rob lewis, who was also a home office official, has been arrested. sir mark has called the content "shameful" and says the matter is being taken very seriously. we're tackling this. i'm sort of currently building and launching a massive new team — an anti—corruption and abuse command — that is going to take the proactive tactics we use against crime to take on the people who do these sorts of ghastly things in the organisation. because i recognise, if i'm to rebuild trust from the public, the starting point is our integrity, and i have to take on those who corrupt it. a series of russian rocket attacks on the southern ukrainian city of zaporizhzhia has left at least seven people dead. officials say rescuers worked late into the night in an effort to free residents believed to be trapped in the rubble. our diplomatic correspondent, paul adamsjoins us from zaporizhzhia. good morning. what more do we know
6:17 am
about what has happened and the state of the building, if anyone else is in there?— state of the building, if anyone else is in there? good morning. we were u- else is in there? good morning. we were up at— else is in there? good morning. we were up at the _ else is in there? good morning. we were up at the sight _ else is in there? good morning. we were up at the sight of— else is in there? good morning. we were up at the sight of that - were up at the sight of that building one of several hit late last night. there were still a number of rescue workers there, there were earth moving machines gradually scraping this vast pile of rubble back in an attempt to find more bodies. no expectation at all they were going to find survivors. it was still a huge, tortured pile of smoking rubble and twisted metal. absolutely no chance they were going to be any survivors in that building. as you say, local authorities say at least seven people died yesterday, with about another five missing. people died yesterday, with about anotherfive missing. there was people died yesterday, with about another five missing. there was a real expectation that death toll would climb as they go through the rubble. this was a real shot here in
6:18 am
zaporizhzhia. we are not far from russian —controlled territory. the city is used to being hit. last night we had one explosion and we also had a drone that flew overhead at one point. what was shocking about yesterday was, for the first time, civilian buildings, homes, apartments right in the centre of the city were hit in what appeared to be an entirely random way. that made people here feel that perhaps this was a sign of things to come. they are conscious that ukrainian forces are pressing ahead, very successfully on two fronts at either end of a very long front line in the war with russia, making significant progress in both of those areas, and they feel russia, which is on the back that is lashing out in the only way it can. when they heard the drone flying overhead last night they would have been concerned
6:19 am
because they had reports of drones being used to hit other targets and other cities across ukraine in recent days. in one sense they feel confident about the way the war is going but in another sense very apprehensive about what vladimir putin, who by the way 1070 today, we'll do in response. i putin, who by the way 1070 today, we'll do in response.— putin, who by the way 1070 today, we'll do in response. i imagine they are utterly terrified. _ now the weather with matt. good morning. there will be dry weather around. good morning. there will be dry weatheraround. driest good morning. there will be dry weather around. driest for longest in the south and east of england. keep your eyes to the skies. in the north and west there could be hefty showers heading your way. it will be a sunshine and showers sort of day. some of the wettest spots in scotland and northern ireland. scattering showers. this band of a longer lasting spell of heavy rain
6:20 am
and gusty winds and that. to the end of the breakfast period passing north and west wales. into part of the midlands. in the south you could see some showers around. not till later will be the heavy rain. the wind will gas to west and north—west later. in the far north of england it will drop this afternoon. pleasant enough in east anglia and the south—east. in the rush hour, that band of short lived but heavy rain spreading its way in the midlands towards norfolk, across parts of the south—west as well. on the m4 and m4 t, you will get caught with that. not much rain as it reaches the south—east. a few showers in the north and west. not too many around. the wind will fall lighter and it will be a chilly start tomorrow. lovely start to the weekend. most places turning wet and
6:21 am
windy in scotland and northern ireland. back to you both. every autumn, the blood sport known as hare coursing brings waves of crime to rural communities — that's despite it being illegal in the uk since 2005. police say the activity, where dogs are used to chase, catch and kill hares, has been growing in recent years. now new technology is being introduced in an effort to clamp down on the criminal gangs responsible, as dan o'brien reports from wiltshire. wiltshire's rural crime team patrol salisbury plain. they're on the lookout for the new season of an illegal blood sport, bringing organised crime, threats and criminal damage to rural communities. wiltshire's farmers know only too well what hare coursing involves, but if you've never heard of it, it's basically people who chase hares across the land using either dogs or 4x4s, and they can stream it live on the internet for people anywhere in the world to start placing bets on what's going to happen. the origins of hare coursing
6:22 am
date back centuries. it was banned in 2005, but in recent years has increasingly involved criminal gangs. i have been briefed and seen at the national crime agency hare coursing being live streamed into china, where people are betting tens of thousands of dollars on whichever dog is going to catch the hare first. so it is seriously big business, and those people who are doing it are often serious, serious criminals, who are involved in county lines, in modern—day slavery, all sorts of other crimes. forces like wiltshire have been criticised for not taking it seriously enough in the past, but this year have drones equipped with thermal cameras and officers with hand—held kit to see in the dark. when you say to people hare coursing, they generally have a concept that people chase hares with dogs, which is obviously illegal. however, in order to do that,
6:23 am
they will break into farms, they'll tear down the five bar gates, they'll break through dry stone walls, they'll drive through crops. they can commit thousands of pounds' worth of damage in a couple of hours onafarm. we've had incidents of land owners having their vehicles rammed, being threatened with knives. people wearing balaclavas. covering the vastness of salisbury plain with just a handful of officers is a big ask. the force here is urging rural communities to report anything suspicious. that was dan o'brien reporting. let's take a look at today's papers. many lead with the national grid's warning that the uk faces blackouts this winter, due to the ongoing energy crisis. the daily mirror calls the measures a "return to the dark ages". the telegraph features a picture of ian russell on its front page. he's the father of 14—year—old molly russell, who took her own life
6:24 am
after being exposed to harmful content online. ian is now calling on the government to take immediate action to protect other young people. we'll be speaking to ian on this programme, at 8:10am this morning. the front page of the times carries an image of the princess of wales. prince william and catherine took part in a cocktail—making race in belfast yesterday, during a royal visit to northern ireland. if you're wondering, it was prince william who was declared the winner. who else was competing? and one of the most read articles online is about a wildfire on easter island, off the coast of chile, which has destroyed a number of historic and sacred statues. there are nearly 1,000 of the giant carvings in total — made by a polynesian tribe more than 500 years ago. officials say the damage is "irreparable." inside, i know you are a big tennis fan. i do not know if you know about this tennis tournament. i knew
6:25 am
nothing about it. what happens is, this is the world is my oldest amateur international tennis tournament. students from oxford and cambridge universities battle against students from harvard and yale. the women have never won. it has been playing... that women from oxford and cambridge? they have never beaten the americans. it started in 200a. the last time they played, they were hammered 12—0. for the first time they won, and they won the cup 10— t1 woman has played emma radical new before and is considering turning pro. the men won for the first time in 1a years. it was a much tighter match my 11—10.
6:26 am
kudos to them. for both teams to win at the same time has never happened. got to keep trying. a couple of thoughts for you on what people are buying at the moment. we are talking a lot about the energy crisis and keeping warm. there is a rush to buy thermal underwear. householders are stockpiling thermal underwear to combat the cold. this is... statistics say the sales of thermal and warm clothing, including onesies, dressing gowns, up enormously. sales of onesies have risen by 53% compared with the same time last year. i had never worn one. dressing gowns are up by 76%, also slippers. in the daily mail, it says, which of the following to think you will be using in the next six months? a1% by blanket throws.
6:27 am
71%, hot water bottles. a wearable blanket, 18%. electric blanket, 15%. heated foot warmers and heated neck warmers also proving very popular at the moment. is a warm, charlie? can you town me? someone in the gallery says they wear one. in the gallery? i don't know. you don't know. the gallery being... you know what they're gallery is. the room where they're gallery is. the room where the important people are. do people wear a onesie in there? i didn't know that. we've heard of wind, solar and tidal energy but what about dance energy? that's what a nightclub in glasgow is trying to harness, in a bid to be more eco—friendly and save on bills. the club is trialling a new system that turns body heat into air conditioning, and it's been described as a "world first." our technology reporter shona mccallum has been finding out more.
6:28 am
swg3 is a huge warehouse, which hosts major club nights. it claims to be the first in the world to use this type of heating and cooling system. and i've managed to get exclusive access. you and ijust standing here right now, we're generating about 100, 150 watts of energy. when you start dancing, let's say, medium pace, like rolling stones or something, you might be generating, like, 250 watts. and then if you've got, like, a big dj, absolutely slamming basslines and making everyonejump up and down, you could be generating 500 or 600 watts of thermal energy. and that heat is then captured from the dance floor, and transferred to a series of 200 metre deep boreholes, which can be charged like a thermal battery. the body heat system is being turned on at a party. and what better way than an event honouring a dance that originated in scotland?
6:29 am
the slosh. and with every step, each person is their own generator of renewable energy, which you can see using this any development is... there's risk attached to it. and when you're putting in a system, which is the first time ever, you are taking a bit of a leap of faith. if we can make it work here in this environment, there's no reason why we can't take it to other venues and other environments, and notjust here in scotland and the uk, across europe and further afield. the team here are clearly committed to this new technology and the importance of doing their bit to help the environment. and clubbers have an extra reason to stay on the dance floor all night long. shona maccallum, bbc news, glasgow.
6:30 am
ingenuity, that is what it is all about. good stuff. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm thomas magill. city hall has commited millions of pounds to pay for a number of youth workers, who will be based in hospitals to help support young people affected by violence. almost £8 million of funding will pay for 12 members of staff to work in a&e units across the capital for another three years. the specialist front—line workers will support young victims of domestic abuse and domestic violence. many of us won't realise, but construction workers suffer from the worse suicide rate of any job in the uk. it can be both physically and mentally draining — and now one contruction worker from london says more needs to be done to encourage good mental
6:31 am
health on building sites. on tonight's we are england, we meet some builders who are using football to help address some of the issues facing the industry. if you give someone a shovel in their hand and they can dig a hole, you're employable to us. you can do a job. some of these people are coming off of front—line military service, they're coming out of prison service. the root cause of these guys' problems is from outside of the industry. but when they do come into it, there's no support services at that initial stage. and if you've been affected by this story, there's help available online via bbc action line. let's see how the tube is running this morning. the overground is part suspended between stratford and dalston kingsland. also just to remind you — there's another rail strike tomorrow with passengers are being advised to travel only if necessary. members of the rmt union — including guards and signalling staff — will walk out for 2h hours
6:32 am
in a dispute over pay. 15 train firms are affected, meaning only 20% of scheduled services will run. ok, well, let's see how the weather is looking with kawser. good morning. well, we're expecting a change in our weather today with some fairly squally, blustery showers in the forecast. but there will be plenty of dry weather in between, and some decent spells of sunshine — especially during the course of the morning. but it's this cold front here that is progressing across the southeast today, and it will bring some rain for a time into the evening commute. but then once it clears, high pressure builds for the weekend, turning dry and settled once again. but for this morning, plenty of dry weather to start. there will be some cloud around and we'll start to see those showers and those south—westerly winds picking up, too — becoming quite breezy. and temperatures by the afternoon reaching around the mid—to—high teens — up to around 19 celsius. but there's this narrow band of fairly heavy rain that will spread through during the evening hours — clearing, though, during the night, and it becomes drier with clearer skies and fairly chilly, too, as temperatures dip down to around the single figures —
6:33 am
five to seven celsius. so a chilly start to saturday, but there will be plenty in the way of sunshine in store, with that high pressure in charge — temperatures reaching around 16 celsius. sunday, too, is not looking too bad — there will be some cloud around, some spells of sunshine. it's later on sunday, though, there may be, once again, the chance of some rain. that's it from me, but more on bbc radio london and our social—media sites. but for now, it's back to charlie and naga. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up on the show this morning... they're a perfect ten — paul heaton and jacqui abbott will be here to reflect on a pop partnership that continues to delight fans old and new. we catch up with breakfast regulars and best pals hughie and freddie — as they launch their new book to raise money for the royal manchester children's hospital.
6:34 am
and lights, camera, action — it's movie week on strictly. tyler west and his professional partner dianne buswell will have the lowdown on what to expect. there have been developments as always, in the world of boxing. 3c} always, in the world of boxing. 79: years always, in the world of boxing. 792 years after legend nigel benn and chris eubank fought each other, there sons were due to fight each other, everybody wanted it but it can't now go ahead at the moment because of a trace of this fertility drug, a female fertility drug which can boost testosterone in men, trace was found in a sample provided by benn. he is completely shocked, will fight to clear his name and says he is innocent but until they get a second result, the british boxing board of control says they can't
6:35 am
sanction the fight. a lot of talks took place to try to get it on, but it is off for the moment. that is the latest. after a day of toing and froing and the best efforts of the boxers and promoters and their legal teams came the official postponement of tomorrow's showdown. it follows benn returning what is called an "adverse analytical finding" for trace amounts of clomiphene, which can increase testosterone. the british boxing board of control, decided it the british boxing board of control decided it couldn't sanction the fight. benn — who is not suspended — says he's shocked and will fight to clear his name, and insists he's a clean fighter. he apologised to all those affected by the postponement. eubankjunior said on social media, "this should not have happened. he has escaped his schooling for now." the promoters will continue working with their legal teams and british boxing's governing body. it's not a surprise. what's a surprise is that it took 26 hours from the board of control putting their statement out before the promoters of the fight put their statement out. that's 26 hours to do what all of us wanted them to do very quickly. it's that simple.
6:36 am
and wales kept their hopes alive, beating bosnia 1—0 in cardiff. remarkably they had four goals ruled out for offside during the match beforejess fishlock�*s curling volley from a free kick put them once the home team scored, the result was only going one way. a trip to dublin to face the republic of ireland awaits and anthony martial to help manchester united survive a scare against omonia nicosia in the europa league — winning 3—2 in the end. united were 1—0 down at half—time, but a brace from marcus rashford helped them
6:37 am
overcome their cypriot opposition. mikel arteta's side have won four successive matches in all competitions and top their europa league group, as well 3—0 to italian side fiorentina at tynecastle. rugby union world cup. england are strong favourites and by this time tomorrow they will have just finished their opening match against fiji. scotland and wales have also travelled out to new zealand jane dougall reports. this was the last time england women won the rugby world cup. in 2014, sarah hunter
6:38 am
was vice captain. to come along, you know. the first week we were here, it was very relaxed, getting overjet lag. this week, on monday, that's when the switch flicked and we're into test week and we're into preparations for fiji and, yeah, there's a real buzz around the place. new zealand's a long way to go for a home nations game, but wales and scotland play each other on sunday, and it could be a grudge match. everything's riding on this game but, to be fair, that's what world cups are like, isn't it, really? you go out and you want to win every game. it's just a must—win for us. we edged them in the six nations, didn't we? and i think what was important about that is we came from behind, as well. you know, we kept believing. we created a lot of opportunities against them last year, we just didn't finish them off. so, like, we've been working a lot on how to. ..essentially beat them.
6:39 am
i'm not going to tell you those things. back in britain, university of worcester warriors squad will be watching closely. 15 of their players are in new zealand representing their countries, but after part of the club was wound up in the high court, they've all had their contracts terminated. players don't know if they'll have a club to come back to. the uncertainty makes it really hard but, actually, like, what's made it kind of much more bearable is the fact that the players have been so amazing through all of it. and women's sport generally is on the up, isn't it, on the back of the football and everything like that. so it's a really exciting time and that's why we're really hopeful that we can have people come in and support us and invest in us because, you know, it's definitely on the rise. while the domestic game is struggling, it's hoped home nations success in new zealand could lead to much—needed financial the stage is it officially

6:41 am
the statue was craned in earlier this week, and will soon be unveiled as a permanent memorial to jack leslie's legacy. he's got his arms out again and you just want to cuddle him, don't you? yeah. for his family, it's a special moment to see it in place for the first time. i think that'sjust going to be amazing. yeah. it's beautiful. we have to keep pinching ourselves to make sure it really is happening. and to see — to actually see the statue there, although it is covered at the moment, is... it's...mind—blowing. and how emotional is it? 0h! we can't put into words the depth of feeling that we have. anyone says something nice and we're both bursting into tears, aren't we? which is ridiculous! they laugh. jack leslie was the only black player in the english league at the time, and went on to captain argyle. the son of a jamaican
6:42 am
father and english mother, he would have been the first black player to represent england. half a century would pass before viv anderson would make that breakthrough. jack leslie scored more than 130 goals during his time here at argyle — he's the club's fourth—highest goal—scorer — and it was in 1925 that he was called into the manager's office and told that he'd been selected to play for england. but when the papers came out, an aston villa player was in the team, jack was named as a travelling reserve. there was speculation at the time that members of the fa had objected when they became aware of his ethnicity. because he was playing such brilliant football, he wasn't injured, he hadn't been suspended... the only issue was the colour of his skin. granddad himself was never bitter. he was obviously upset — it would have been the accolade of his career — but he just kind of shrugged it off, didn't he? he was just pleased to be a paid
6:43 am
footballer, which... football was his passion, and to be paid for doing what you love — he was just happy to do that. campaigners say jack's story had been forgotten over the years — they raised more than £100,000 for the statue to raise awareness of his achievements. to see jack come home to - plymouth argyle isjust incredible. jack leslie was a true argyle legend, but also the story . of what happened to him with the england call—up| is an important story to be told, i think. . and, you know, it's great that schoolchildren have been - learning about jack, - and that they're coming to the unveiling. and the storytelling - on the the plinth itself that explains what what happened to him. as a young boy, i never heard anything about jack leslie, which is a shame, because i think i would have been inspired by him, by the story. ronnie mauge played for argyle in the 1990s, and scored their only goal at wembley. i received racial abuse up
6:44 am
and down the country, so... and i thought it was bad then. but, you know, if you think — go back 60 years, 70 years, it must have been horrendous forjack. how far do you think we've come, and how much more work do you think needs to be done? racism isn't a football problem, it's a social problem. and until we start...we start looking at the social aspects of racism and we, like, coming together and talking about racism — you know, we've still got a lot of work to be done. and what lessons would you like people to learn from this story? to hold your dream. to go out there and fight for your dream. don't ever give up. always go on there and fight. and it might take 100 years, but we've got here! they laugh. jenny kumar, bbc news. it is wonderful to see the story spoken about properly now,

6:46 am
to the many dry through the morning, early afternoon rembrandts spread through wales, clearing by mid afternoon but sitting across the midlands by this stage. sunshine and showers in the way to the north, winds west to north westerly point raiding a drop in temperature, probably peaked in the temperature early this morning into lunchtime and then dropping. warmest and driest for in east anglia and the south—east but we could see winds gusting close to gale force around the band, a narrowing band so short a spell of rain as it pushes through east anglia and the south—east through the evening rush hour and then try for the night. southern and eastern areas in particular. lighter winds tonight, colder than then nightjust gone. a fresh start on saturday, a few showers dotted around the north and west first thing. lightershowers. this around the north and west first thing. lighter showers. this is an area of high pressure, descending air, try to stop most of the shower clouds forming, so a drier day. saturday looking lovely for many and
6:47 am
plenty of sunshine around. a few showers in western scotland, northern ireland, north—west england may be. five fewer compared with what we have seen through today. temperatures down a bit after the fresh start but pleasant enough in the sunshine. another fresh fresh start but pleasant enough in the sunshine. anotherfresh night fresh start but pleasant enough in the sunshine. another fresh night to come across england and wales through saturday into sunday but weather fronts return to the north and west. you have had enough rain already in scotland and northern ireland but there is more to come on sunday. the rain persistent in western scotland and northern ireland in the morning, more into parts of south—west scotland, north—west england through the afternoon. gusty winds, 50 to 60 mph across the north and west, but much of england and wales will stay dry, pleasant in the sunshine. the sunshine turning hazy later. next week, a vigorousjet sunshine turning hazy later. next week, a vigorous jet stream will bring one area of low pressure after another in enough of the atlantic so once we start the week on a dry nose, temperatures where they should be for this time of year, but as we head through the week, this is the capital cities to give you a flavour. they will be further spells
6:48 am
of wind and rain, it will be quite windy at times next week but certainly this weekend saturday is the day for most of you, looking fine. . ~' ,. , . you will have heard yesterday talk about customers being urged to use less energy at peak times, potentially warnings of power cuts this winter. hannah's looking at this for us. there is quite a lot going on in terms of the energy market. it gets eve one terms of the energy market. it gets everyone talking — terms of the energy market. it gets everyone talking when _ terms of the energy market. it gets everyone talking when they - terms of the energy market. it gets everyone talking when they hear. everyone talking when they hear about power cuts this winter. absolutely what nobly wants to hear. yes this is the forecast on the prospects for the uk's energy supplies over the next few months. the national grid runs our energy network and says its likely to be "a challenging winter" for energy supply. it modelled various scenarios and says the most likely outcome is that homes face no problems at all. but in the worst—case situation we could experience power cuts when there's a lot of demand on the system.
6:49 am
if that does happen, it would be at peak times — so in the morning, or more likely between four and seven o'clock in the evening. national grid have said that we'd be warned in advance. they also say the cuts would be rotated so not all areas of the country would be affected at the same time. and hospitals, as well as vulnerable individuals, would have their energy supplies protected. the reason these plans are being made is because of gas supplies. the uk relies on gas to generate a0%—60% of our electricity. the national grid says the war in ukraine is having a big impact on gas availability — russia turned off the taps to europe, which for the uk, puts big pressure on the supplies we usually bring in from elsewhere. so how likely are we to see blackouts this winter? blacouts are still very unlikely, but they are slightly more likely than they have been in the past. and this is because the generation capacity is very close to the demand capacity in the country.
6:50 am
so there is a lack of generation, and also that britain has been relying on cheap imports from the continent for a number of years. and right now there are problems in france, which means that france needs our power, whereas previously in the winter we've relied on power from france to help balance our network. now, the national grid will launch a scheme from the 1st november which incentivises businesses and households to reduce their electricity use at peak times. homes with smart meters could be offered discounts for changing when the oven or washing machine is on, for example. and businesses will be paid for reducing demand on the system — perhaps by switching production times or using battery generators. and with these schemes in place — along with a plan to keep coal—fired electricity generators on standby just in case, the national grid thinks we could avoid power cuts this winter. but let's look now at the longer—term — this morning the government announced a fresh round of licences for energy firms to extract oil

london, i'm thomas magill. city hall has commited million of pounds to pay for a number of youth workers, who will be based in hospitals to help support young people affected by violence. almost £8 million of funding will pay for 12 members of staff to work in a&e units across the capital for another three years. the specialist frontline workers will support young victims of domestic abuse and domestic violence. railway passengers are being advised to travel only if necessary tomorrow as staff hold another day of strike action. members of the rmt union — including guards and signalling staff — will walk out for 2a hours in a dispute over pay. network rail and 15 train firms will be affected meaning only 20% of scheduled services will run. many of us won't realise, but construction workers have the highest suicide rate of any job in the uk — with many describing

it as both physically and mentally draining. now one builder from london says more needs to be done to encourage good mental health on building sites. on tonight's "we are england" we hearfrom some builders about the challenges facing the industry. if you give someone a shovel in their hand and they can dig a hole, you're employable to us. you can do a job. some of these people are coming off of front—line military service, they're coming out of prison service. the root cause of these guys' problems is from outside of the industry. but when they do come into it, there's no support services at that initial stage. and if you've been affected by this story, there's help available online via bbc action line, which has details of suicide prevention charities. let's see how the tube is running this morning. the overground is part suspended between stratford and dalston kingsland. ok, well, let's see how the weather is looking with corser. good morning. well, we're expecting a change in our weather today
6:59 am
with some fairly squally, blustery showers in the forecast. but there will be plenty of dry weather in between, and some decent spells of sunshine — especially during the course of the morning. but it's this cold front here that is progressing across the southeast today, and it will bring some rain for a time into the evening commute. but then once it clears, high pressure builds for the weekend, turning dry and settled once again. but for this morning, plenty of dry weather to start. there will be some cloud around and we'll start to see those showers and those south—westerly winds picking up, too — becoming quite breezy. and temperatures by the afternoon reaching around the mid—to—high teens — up to around 19 celsius. but there's this narrow band of fairly heavy rain that will spread through during the evening hours — clearing, though, during the night, and it becomes drier with clearer skies and fairly chilly, too, as temperatures dip down to around the single figures — five to seven celsius. so a chilly start to saturday, but there will be plenty in the way of sunshine in store, with that high pressure in charge — temperatures reaching around 16 celsius. sunday, too, is not looking too bad — there will be some cloud around, some spells of sunshine. it's later on sunday, though,
7:00 am
there may be, once again, the chance of some rain. that's it from me. but for now it's back to charlie and naga. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. social care providers in england warn that a complete overhaul of the system is needed to prevent millions of people from being left without support. the uk defies climate warnings by announcing a new licensing round for oil and gas exploration in the north sea. but it won't help this winter, as national grid warn the worst case scenario could mean rolling power cuts. the king of thailand is to visit the survivors of an attack at a nursery, which killed at least 38 people, including many children.

eltonjohn and prince harry are among several public figures taking legal action against the publisher of the daily mail over what they call "gross breaches of privacy." one step away from the world cup. wales and scotland both celebrate extra time victories, which booked their places in world cup play off finals. we will see rain at some point today. i will tell you then give you the forecast in breakfast. it's friday, the 7th of october. social care providers are warning that millions of people could be left without support, unless there is a complete overhaul of the system. unless there is a complete care england — which is the body that
7:02 am
represents independent services — says a proper vision is needed. it comes as a new poll for bbc news suggests there's a lack of public confidence across the uk that people are getting the care they need. the government says it is investing £5.a billion in social care over three years. if we get this wrong, there will be hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people who will be in crisis. we'll have an nhs that will be absolutely clogged with people and the entire system, both health and social care, will be on its knees. we'll be talking more about this with the chief executive of alzheimer's society — kate lee — in a few minutes' time. there will be more oil and gas exploration in the north sea, after the government announced its offering up to 100 new development licenses to companies. ministers say the projects will boost energy security and support skilled jobs but the decision is at odds with climate scientists. here's our environment correspondent, jonah fisher. these new north sea licences will take years to yield results, and they'll have very little impact on the oil and gas prices that we all pay. this licensing round is part
7:03 am
of the government's response to a crisis triggered by russia's invasion of ukraine. it's aimed at reducing our dependence on imports of fossil fuels from abroad. about 100 licences are expected to be issued with parts of the north sea off norfolk, lincolnshire and yorkshire set to be fast—tracked because they can start producing faster. so how does exploring for the fossil fuels that heat our planet fit in with the government's promises to fight climate change? jacob rees—mogg, the business secretary, says fossil fuels are still needed as we transition to renewable energy, and that the uk's production methods are cleaner, meaning new north sea oil and gas will have less of a carbon footprint. that won't reassure climate scientists. they say greenhouse gas emissions are already leading to more extreme weather events, like heatwaves and drought.

the advice of the united nations and the international energy agency is clear. if we want to keep global temperature rises under 1.5 degrees, then there can be no more fossil fuel projects. the first licences from this new north sea round are expected to be issued early next year. jonah fisher, bbc news. hannah is with us now. one conversation is about the licences, the other conversation is, will there be power cuts this winter? ofgem had this report. there is a sliding scale of possibilities. it is important to say blackouts is their worst case scenario. national grid says most likely outcome is there will not be any problems but
7:05 am
if there is increase pressure on gas supplies, if there is not enough gas for to generate electricity, we could be seeing parapets in a slightly less... in a worst—case scenario. they say that will be in the evenings most likely, around three hours, when everyone is cooking dinner, when people have got home from work. they will be rotated. really important, a lot of people will worry about vulnerable people will worry about vulnerable people at home. they say that supplies will be protected, as would supplies will be protected, as would supplies to hospitals. one way to reduce pressure on the whole system is for all of us to reduce their way we use electricity. there had been we use electricity. there had been we understand, plans for a government public information campaign to try to encourage us all to reduce electricity. that had been reported in the times this morning. downing street does not want to tell
7:06 am
us what to do and it will not go ahead now. there will be a scheme launching from november to pay people back money if they change the way they use electricity. if you have a smart meter and you can be seen to be putting the washing machine on at a time when there is less demand on the system you could get some money back. 51am less demand on the system you could get some money back.— get some money back. such as at niuht? get some money back. such as at night? that _ get some money back. such as at night? that might _ get some money back. such as at night? that might be _ get some money back. such as at night? that might be of - get some money back. such as at night? that might be of some - night? that might be of some interest to — night? that might be of some interest to people _ night? that might be of some interest to people if _ night? that might be of some interest to people if they - night? that might be of some interest to people if they are l interest to people if they are thinking about saving money this winter. ukraine's emergency services say at least 11 people are now known to have died in yesterday's missile strikes on zaporizhzhia. rescuers worked late into the night in an effort to recover bodies from the rubble. our diplomatic correspondent, paul adams, joins us from zaporizhzhia. tell us more about the situation there today. tell us more about the situation there today-— tell us more about the situation there toda . .y ., ~ , there today. the emergency workers, as ou there today. the emergency workers, as you say. — there today. the emergency workers, as you say. had _ there today. the emergency workers,

as you say, had been _ there today. the emergency workers, as you say, had been on _ there today. the emergency workers, as you say, had been on that - there today. the emergency workers, as you say, had been on that site, - as you say, had been on that site, one of several sites in the centre of the city pretty much all night. we went there late last night and they were using digging machines to gradually scrape the rubber back, quite gently, in an effort to try to find bodies. there was no sense they were hoping to find survivors. there were hoping to find survivors. there were some who were found in the course of yesterday. i do not think anyone expects to see and find any more. that was a huge, huge pile of rubble and twisted metal and there is a feeling that almost certainly are more bodies to be found. this was a substantial apartment block, five stories, and many, many apartments. that could yet yield more bodies. there was more work going on by floodlight at another building nearby and, as you say, the total now, 11 people, 11 bodies
7:08 am
found. this was the worst attack in zaporizhzhia for a long, long time. what really shocking about it was, in a city which is relatively used to having a tax on the edges, in industrial areas, to having a tax on the edges, in industrialareas, it to having a tax on the edges, in industrial areas, it hit right in the centre of the city, it hit civilians and made them think there may be more of this kind of to come. —— kind of thing to come. the king of thailand will visit survivors of an attack at a nursery school, which left 37 people dead, including many children. officials say the attacker was a former police officer who later killed his family, before turning the gun on himself. dan johnson reports. the number of coffins give some sense of the scale of loss here. but it is the young age of many victims which has most shocked this country. it's also left a community, and so many families, in grief. at least 23 children were killed, some just two years old, having a lunchtime nap
7:09 am
when the attack began. there is astonishment that this was carried out by a parent of one of the children, armed with a gun and a knife. it all went down really fast. he was slashing the knife. he didn't use the gun. he kept slashing in there. it's all by a knife. he was in the middle of reloading the gun. i held my hands up and begged for mercy. i didn't know what to do. the 3a—year—old former police sergeant was sacked injune for using drugs and was awaiting a court verdict. he drove home after the attack, and killed his wife and child before taking his own life. more parents have been arriving this morning to see the scene for themselves. and, later, the king and the prime minister are due to visit. this is a quiet part of rural thailand, where people are struggling to comprehend what can have motivated such violence against the most innocent young lives.
7:10 am
dan johnson, bbc news. prince harry and sir eltonjohn are among a group of high profile public figures who have started legal action against the publishers of the daily mail and the mail on sunday.
7:11 am
involved with — bugging cars and homes, listening to private telephone calls, paying police officers for sensitive information, more serious allegations even than phone hacking, according against associated newspapers. they are highly intrusive. they are a means of delving into the private lives of people, and private lives, which are protected by statutes under the human rights act and by convention by the european convention on human rights. so it is a gross invasion of privacy. if these things occurred, and it would be absolutely right and proper if they did occur that associated newspapers and hopefully some of their senior figures are held to account. phone hacking was not practised by the mail on sunday or the daily mail. that was the former mail editor in 2012.
7:12 am
yesterday's statement from associated newspapers... baroness lawrence had been persuaded to endorse lies, the company said. it's headed for court and it's likely to take years to resolve. if the mail's owners were to lose, the stakes are enormous. tom symonds, bbc news. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. another lovely, lovely picture. somewhere around the uk everyone is going to get some rain today, aren't they? going to get some rain today, aren't the ? , ., ., , they? yes. i thought i would bring ou they? yes. i thought i would bring you uplifting _ they? yes. i thought i would bring

7:14 am
the south—east. it will clear three. clear skies for many. one or two showers in the west of scotland and northern ireland. most places will stay dry by the end of the night. on saturday a fresh start. a lovely day on saturday. very few showers around. on sunday, the best of the weather in the south and east. in scotland and northern ireland, more rain to come. see scotland and northern ireland, more rain to come-— let's talk more about social care, and that warning from care england that millions of people could be left without support, unless there is a complete overhaul of the system. a diagnosis of dementia is devastating for both the patient and their family, but having the right support can make a huge difference to their quality of life. the issue though is keeping up witgh demand, asjeremy cooke has been finding out. wendy hughes is on a mission, and we're riding along. we're going to see mark now.
7:15 am
he's a gentleman, 85, he's on the first sets of dementia. lives on his own but he's got a fabulous, huge family that support him. it's early — firstjob of the day — but already the clocks ticking and the pressure's on. oh, 100%. i don't think there should be any 15—minute calls anywhere. hello, mark, are you all right? has your keith done your breakfast for you? yeah. and have you been in the shower? the shower. now, mark can be reluctant — it can take time and persuasion. you're going to be famous. but wendy has got a total of 30 minutes to get his breakfast and his meds, and prepare his lunch. . .and the shower. i've got some gentlemen here today from the bbc. good morning, sir, nice to meet you. i'mjeremy, this is steve. nice to meet you, jeremy. right, let me get out of the way for a moment.
7:16 am
mark is a navy man — decades of military service. i'll go and sort your medication out, and then as soon as we get some milk, i'll make you a coffee. thank you, very much. yeah. hiya, jeremy, i'm keith. thanks for having us, keith. not a problem at all. keith is one of mark's sons. my dad wasn't doing anythingl that he was told, and wouldn't take his medications, we couldn't get him l in the shower so his personal hygiene was going down. - the family was struggling, big time. then they got a care package. they got wendy. in the space of a week to ten days, it was a massive change. _ he was listening, - he was coherent again. beforehand, he just sat . there looking at the floor. at the stage now where we're probably going to be - having a look at... residential. ..residential care. are we ready for our lovely...? pills rattle. nextjob — mark's meds. do your medication, sweetheart? really? whey—aye! time is moving on. that's fabulous. what's the plan now, then?
7:17 am
mark'sjust finished his breakfast and i'm going to hopefully encourage him into the shower. we hope! we hope. how we diddling, mark? it's specialist work, this. understanding dementia is crucial. people have this perception about caring and it's, "oh, anybody can be a carer." sorry, i don't think that's right. i think you've got to have compassion. to be a certain kind of person. and now you're prolonging the shower. not going to happen. i will be two minutes. ok, my darling, you have two minutes and counting. do you often go over your slot? all the time. yeah. all the time. how do you feel about that? er. . . it's frustrating. she's good, isn't she? 0h, she's brilliant. absolutely brilliant. what strikes me immediately is she kind of gets your dad. what has it meant to you and your family? huge difference. i mean, lifted a massive burden off everybody's shoulders. _ god forbid anybody else that's in the same situation - and they haven't got this kind - of wrap—around care that's in there. it's...
7:18 am
it's an absolute lifeline. kick �*em out. see you later on, dad. you're already over your allocated time. what's my option? do i take the gentleman's breakfast away because he's still eating and say, "well, actually, you need to go in the shower now because personal care is important"? yeah... or do i use my private time? so you're on your own time now? i'm on my... but you're not about to walk out through the door, are you? definitely not, no. no, definitely not. it's not an option. no good stalling! can't just walk out the door and think, "somebody else will deal with that later." doesn't happen — there's nobody else to deal with that later. right, all thing clothes is ready. thank you, darling. finally, success — mark's heading for the shower. good staller, aren't you? i'm just going to close the door for mark's dignity, all right? right, here, sweetheart, one foot at a time. where's your out? are we going to end up where we've got a system where nobody�*s going to be able to recruit anybody? 0k? i know lots of people accept the system. you can go stack shelves and get paid more than i get paid. we have a crisis. big crisis. big.
7:19 am
mm. big. we're all nice and decent now, aren't we? we are. we're living in a world where the cost of living is horrific. my petrol bill's phenomenal. my wage isn't the living wage any more. that's rubbish. on paper, it's a living wage, but it's not. and notjust me — every other carer out there, everybody doing this kind of work. wonderful. the government says its spending £15 million on a recruitment drive for overseas workers. for wendy, it all comes down to meeting the needs of the most vulnerable. do you still get moved by it? oh, 100%. voice breaking: 100%. these are people. sorry. i just think society's not doing what they should do. these are people that put into society for 80—odd years. you go in the lounge. give me your dirty towel. do they matter? yes, they do matter —
7:20 am
they matter deeply. i'll get you a coffee made. you were a diver. yeah. wow. that sounds dangerous. well, it isn't if you do it right! tell me about wendy. 0h, she's a lovely lass. is she? mm—hm. really is. you enjoy... you enjoy seeing her? she looks after you, doesn't she? 0h, she does, aye, definitely good. your coffee. finally. everything comes to those who wait. this was meant to be a 30—minute slot. wendy's been here almost an hour. what kind of sandwich would you like made for lunch? the best of salmon. the best of salmon — do you think you're at the ritz?! she won't get paid for the extra time. she won't leave until thejob is done. champagne and salmon coming up. that's just the first appointment of the day, and wendy's already running late. if you want to ask why she does it — well, wendy has an answer. she has the answer. it's because there's people out there like me that care, and that's willing to go the extra mile, that people like mark are allowed to live in their homes and they're allowed to have quality of life — what they need, they're entitled to. right, mark, me treasure.
7:21 am
i'll be back at teatime. about a:00. the pay�*s not brilliant, but why do you do it? cos i make a difference. if i can go home and say i've made one person's life better today, i'm happy. be good! that was care worker wendy hughes. she was doing herjob and letting us into her world. jeremy cooke's report. let's now speak to kate lee, the chief executive of the alzheimer's society. anyone who saw that piece, wendy, the care worker, she is a gem. everything she said and did, her attitude, looking up to mark the way she did. one line she said, how are
7:22 am
we diddling? you know full well, a lot of people watching this will know, a lot of people like her work in that sector. when we hear the scale of the issues facing the sector, can you give us a snapshot of how difficult it is now, how difficult it might be? the of how difficult it is now, how difficult it might be?- of how difficult it is now, how difficult it might be? the size and scale of the _ difficult it might be? the size and scale of the problem _ difficult it might be? the size and scale of the problem is _ difficult it might be? the size and| scale of the problem is absolutely immense. people with dementia across the uk are being absolutely let down. we know at the alzheimer's society about 60% of people caring for a loved one at home are really struggling and not getting the support they need. 50% of them are telling us they are at breaking point. wendy is one other huge workforce of absolutely amazing, dedicated people we would want caring for our loved ones. my mum has dementia and it is people like wendy who have kept my family going. wendy who have kept my family going. we do not treat them well. they are overworked. 15 minute pair visits
7:23 am
are ridiculous. i think about my mum. she cannot talk now. she has reached a stage when she cannot communicate that if she had a 15 minute visit every now and then, how would they know if she were in pain? they do not know her. she cannot tell them. the absolute basics cannot be delivered in a 15 minute visit. the pressure, all thejob vacancies in the social care sector. you cannot recruit anyone to do those jobs. you cannot recruit anyone to do thosejobs. the you cannot recruit anyone to do those jobs. the sad you cannot recruit anyone to do thosejobs. the sad difficultjobs. wendy actually used her own time to care for mark, to do a good job for mark. we know there are carers on these 15 minute slot visits were 30 minute slot visits, and there are multiple, travelling all around the communities on their own fuel as well. the attractiveness of the
7:24 am

7:28 am
good morning from bbc london, i'm thomas magill. city hall has commited millions of pounds to pay for a number of youth workers — who will be based in hospitals to help support young people affected by violence. almost £8 million of funding will pay for 12 members of staff to work in a&e units across the capitalfor another three years. the specialist frontline workers will support young victims of domestic abuse and domestic violence. railway passengers are being advised to travel only if necessary tomorrow as staff hold another day of strike action. members of the rmt union — including guards and signalling staff — will walk out for 2a hours in a dispute over pay. network rail and 15 train firms will be affected meaning only 20% of scheduled services will run. many of us won't realise, but construction workers have the highest suicide rate of any job in the uk — with many describing
7:29 am
it as both physically and mentally draining. now one builder from london says more needs to be done to encourage good mental health on building sites. on tonight's we are england we hearfrom some builders about the challenges facing the industry. if you give someone a shovel in their hand and they can dig a hole, you're employable to us. you can do a job. some of these people are coming off of front—line military service, they're coming out of prison service. the root cause of these guys' problems is from outside of the industry. but when they do come into it, there's no support services at that initial stage. and if you've been affected by this story, there's help available online via bbc action line. let's see how the tube is running this morning. the overground is part suspended between stratford and dalston kingsland. ok, let's see how the weather is looking with kawser. good morning. well, we're expecting a change in our weather today with some fairly squally, blustery showers in the forecast. but there will be plenty
7:30 am
of dry weather in between, and some decent spells of sunshine — especially during the course of the morning. but it's this cold front here that is progressing across the southeast today, and it will bring some rain for a time into the evening commute. but then once it clears, high pressure builds for the weekend, turning dry and settled once again. but for this morning, plenty of dry weather to start. there will be some cloud around and we'll start to see those showers and those south—westerly winds picking up, too — becoming quite breezy. and temperatures by the afternoon reaching around the mid—to—high teens — up to around 19 celsius. but there's this narrow band of fairly heavy rain that will spread through during the evening hours — clearing, though, during the night, and it becomes drier with clearer skies and fairly chilly, too, as temperatures dip down to around the single figures — five to seven celsius. so a chilly start to saturday, but there will be plenty in the way of sunshine in store, with that high pressure in charge — temperatures reaching around 16 celsius. sunday, too, is not looking too bad — there will be some cloud around, some spells of sunshine. it's later on sunday, though,
7:31 am
there may be, once again, the chance of some rain. that's it from me. jim davis is taking you through the morning on bbc radio london and i'll be back in an hour, but for now it's back to charlie and naga. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good naga munchetty and charlie stayt. morning. the scottish national party is holding its annual conference in aberdeen this weekend. we can speak now to the party leader, and scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon. good morning to you, thank you for your time. good morning to you, thank you for yourtime. loads good morning to you, thank you for your time. loads to go through and we have some time with you. that's great. we are reporting the uk's new licensing round for companies to explore for more oil and gas. we have had an energy minister on today about that. how does that marry it with your plans for energy in scotland?—

7:33 am
most stringent climate checks, and i worry right now that what we are hearing from the uk government is just a continuation of a haphazard planning about energy, and in the long term what they are doing is undermining energy security rather than strengthening it because the route to energy security is difficult, challenging, but it is to secure that transition away from fossil fuels to renewable. that would not _ fossil fuels to renewable. that would not be _ fossil fuels to renewable. that would not be to _ fossil fuels to renewable. that would not be to the _ fossil fuels to renewable. that would not be to the exclusion of fossil fuels, would not be to the exclusion of fossilfuels, exploring would not be to the exclusion of fossil fuels, exploring for oil and gas today, or this year. it is a gradual transition.— gas today, or this year. it is a gradual transition. we... we cannot turn off gradual transition. we. .. we cannot turn off oil— gradual transition. we... we cannot turn off oil and _ gradual transition. we... we cannot turn off oil and gas _ gradual transition. we... we cannot turn off oil and gas overnight - gradual transition. we... we cannot turn off oil and gas overnight for - gradual transition. we... we cannot turn off oil and gas overnight for a l turn off oil and gas overnight for a variety of reasons. energy security but also particularly in the scottish context, although we are not unique here, the economic and jobs impact of that. we have to do it in a planned way and with justice and fairness at its height. everyone in the 19805 during the industrialisation when we had a tory government and they failed to plan

for it and the legacy of that is still with us. we must not repeat those mistakes. this is a big but because we also owe to the next generation, we have to accelerate that move away from fossil fuels as much as we can. the future of the planet quite literally depends on it. just this haphazard approach of the uk government, and obviously... you have said that... itruiith the uk government, and obviously... you have said that. . .— you have said that... with the worries people _ you have said that... with the worries people have _ you have said that... with the worries people have about... | you have said that... with the - worries people have about... well, it is important. you worries people have about... well, it is important-— it is important. you have said, i have heard _ it is important. you have said, i have heard you _ it is important. you have said, i have heard you say _ it is important. you have said, i have heard you say it. - it is important. you have said, i have heard you say it. i'm - have heard you say it. i'm interested because you are in aberdeen and aberdeen obviously is reliance on sources ofjobs obviously reliant on that industry. what would you say to them? i think the oil and gas sector supports around a thousand jobs in scotland, responsible for 5% of scotland's gdp. what do you say about their jobs transition, why does that happen to them? if jobs transition, why does that happen to them?— jobs transition, why does that happen to them? if you have been listenin: happen to them? if you have been listening to _ happen to them? if you have been listening to me, _ happen to them? if you have been listening to me, i— happen to them? if you have been listening to me, i was _ happen to them? if you have been listening to me, i was directly -

renewable energy that also supports the shift in jobs, renewable energy that also supports the shift injobs, as renewable energy that also supports the shift in jobs, as well. we are doing this in a very planned, thought out way in terms of a refreshed energy strategy, so these are really, really important issues that need proper planning and i know you didn't want me to say this but it is an important point. we have massive energy potential in scotland, as i said before, we are an exporter of electricity but we are part of the gb grid so when you have uk government that is not planning properly, that has a big impact on us and undermines the potential from renewables that we have. �* , . ~ potential from renewables that we have. �*, ., ,, ., potential from renewables that we have. �*, ., «as ., have. let's talk about the cost of livina. have. let's talk about the cost of living- you _ have. let's talk about the cost of living. you have _ have. let's talk about the cost of living. you have identified - have. let's talk about the cost of living. you have identified £500| living. you have identified £500 million in cuts to ease the pressure. how is that going to be found, how will that be paid for? well, again, the deputy first minister, who is also the final secretary of the scottish covenant, covering for the maternity leave of
7:37 am
our finance secretary, set out the detail of that in the scottish parliament some weeks ago. the detail of where those savings are coming from is all set out there, absolutely transparently. let me set the context for that. we have effectively affixed budgets in scotland, we cannot change, we have limited tax powers but we cannot vary tax year and we cannot borrow to make day—to—day expenditure so we have to operate within a budget that is fixed and essentially set by the decisions the uk government to take. now, the value of our budgets at the time we set it has been eroded by inflation to the tune of £1.7 billion so we are having to do everything we want to do within a budget that is worth less because of soaring inflation. we are not complaining about this, we want to give a fair pay deals to public sector workers, give a fair pay deals to public sectorworkers, but give a fair pay deals to public sector workers, but the cost of pay deals, again because of inflation, is £700 million more than we budgeted for, so we have to make all of that fit, so we are looking at
7:38 am
how we do that in a way that has at least impact. but the other objective for that is to try within our budget to free up as much resource as we can to help people with the cost of living. scotland is the only part of the uk that has a child payment, the scottish child payment right now is giving £20 per week to low income families. we are about to extend the eligibility for that, and increase it to £25 per week. that is a kind of thing we are doing. yesterday the scottish parliament passed the emergency legislation to temporarily freeze rents of people who rent their homes and put a moratorium on evictions in place. these are the kind of practical things we are doing within that fixed budgets, and trying as far as we can to take a planned and responsible approach to it.- responsible approach to it. whilst ou have responsible approach to it. whilst you have put. _ responsible approach to it. whilst you have put. it — responsible approach to it. whilst you have put, it made _ responsible approach to it. whilst you have put, it made cuts - responsible approach to it. whilst you have put, it made cuts in - responsible approach to it. whilstj you have put, it made cuts in that budget, are you cutting the budget for the independence referendum? well, of course we are talking about this financial year, an independence
7:39 am
referendum i hope will be in the next financial year, so even if we did, which we won't because i was elected as first minister on a commitment to an independence referendum, that is democracy, i was elected with a record share of the vote in the scottish parliament elections last year, on a record turnout, so we will deliver on that commitment to people so even if you want to look at that in a very narrow sense, stopping something that would encourage spending chair in the next financial year is not going to be under the financial year but beyond that it would undermine the democratic mandate we have. incidentally it is also a tiny, tiny proportion of the overall scottish government budget. let’s proportion of the overall scottish government budget.— proportion of the overall scottish government budget. let's talk about the nhs, government budget. let's talk about the ms, the — government budget. let's talk about the nhs, the winter _ government budget. let's talk about the nhs, the winter plan _ government budget. let's talk about the nhs, the winter plan for - government budget. let's talk about the nhs, the winter plan for the - government budget. let's talk about | the nhs, the winter plan for the nhs in scotland. how confident are you to be able to guarantee that they will not be pictures or people will not see ambulances queueing up outside a&e departments? brute not see ambulances queueing up outside a&e departments? we are workin: outside a&e departments? we are working really _

anywhere in the uk. we have a significant waiting times challenges in the health service, although we have over the past he once been very successful in reducing the longest waits of the nhs, as part of our overall plan. we have record numbers of staff, investment is at record levels and we are supporting the nhs through this really challenging time. the winter is likely to be extremely difficult. we don't know what will happen in terms of covid circulation, although i think we should prepare for that being challenging again. similarly with flu, one of the key is just a people is to make sure you get your covid and flu vaccinations this winter to help as far as possible to reduce that pressure that would be on the nhs. . ., ., that pressure that would be on the nhs. .., ., ,, ., , nhs. nicola sturgeon, there is minister of _ nhs. nicola sturgeon, there is minister of scotland, - nhs. nicola sturgeon, there is minister of scotland, thank - nhs. nicola sturgeon, there is| minister of scotland, thank you nhs. nicola sturgeon, there is - minister of scotland, thank you for your time. time for the sport. women's world cup, rugby and football. , women's world cup, rugby and football. _ . ., , , ., ,

7:44 am
a really sad reality. but i feel like there'sjust so much solidarity between the things that we have to fight for. so obviously there will come a time when we would be competing on the pitch, but i feel like everything before that, we're all fighting together for the same things. manchester united's weaknesses were exposed again in cyprus, but they survived a scare to win 3—2 in the europa league. united were 1—0 down at half—time, but two goals from marcus rashford helped them overcome. anthony martial, scored the other goal for erik ten hag's side. we are not that good. we have seen on sunday and we have to do much better. and especially i think the main problem is... and that is what we did in games before, much better intensity. we have to bring, every game, the intensity on the pitch. arsenal will head into their weekend match against liverpool full of confidence after beating norwegian side bodo glimt 3—0, at the emirates. also in the europa league. west ham recorded a third straight victory in the europa conference.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today... social care providers in england warn that a complete overhaul of the system is needed to prevent millions of people from being left without support. the uk defies climate warnings
8:02 am
by announcing a new licensing round for oil and gas exploration in the north sea. but it won't help this winter, as national grid warn the worst case scenario could mean rolling power cuts. the king of thailand is to visit the survivors of an attack at a nursery, which killed at least 38 people, including many children. huge relief for wales and scotland. both secure extra time victories, to book their places play—off finals, next tuesday, which will decide if they're going to next year's world cup. it's a friendship that's raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for cancer charities, and now hughie and freddie have turned thier talents to storytelling. they'll be here to tell us all about it. i will be telling you a story of sunshine for all of us at some point but also rain as well. i will tell you when rain is coming your way and giving you the full forecast here on
8:03 am
breakfast. it's friday, the 7th of october. our main story. social care providers are warning that millions of people could be left without support, unless there is a complete overhaul of the system. care england — which is the body that represents independent services — says a proper vision is needed, or the nhs "will be on its knees." jeremy cooke reports. are we ready for our lovely...? wendy hughes is bringing care into the community... your medication, sweetheart. really? whey—aye. ..to mark, an ex—navy diver now living with dementia. that's fabulous. for mark and his family, this is priceless help. i'll do the dishes. next stop the bathroom. but today's poll by ipsos mori for bbc news suggests more than 70% of people aged over 55 are not confident that care is reaching many of those who need it. a shortage of staff like wendy lies at the heart of what many call the care crisis. let's go. better wages would help. often wendy's appointments run over, and it's time she doesn't get paid for.
8:04 am
my wage isn't the living wage any more. that's rubbish. on paper, it's a living wage but it's not. notjust me, every other carer out there. everybody doing this kind of work. the government says it doesn't set pay levels for care workers, and that it's a matter for local authorities and other care providers. but it is planning to invest £15 million to recruit more staff from overseas. the care sector wants radical, urgent change. if we get this wrong, there'll be hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people who will be in crisis. we'll have an nhs that will be absolutely clogged with people and the entire system, both health and social care, will be on its knees. so the stakes here are extremely high. it's been a year since the government announced plans to introduce a national insurance levy in part to help improve adult social care. wonderful. that's now been scrapped, leaving carers and care providers asking where the money will come from.
8:05 am
jeremy cooke, bbc news, newcastle. now we can have a cup of coffee. there will be more oil and gas exploration in the north sea, after the government announced its offering up to 100 new development licences to companies. ministers say the projects will boost energy security and support skilled jobs — but the decision is at odds with climate scientists. it comes as the national grid — which runs power networks — warns of possible winter blackouts due to a significant risk of a "gas supply emergency." do you want to pick up on that? do you want to pick up on that? inevitably it will be the thing that people are having discussions over around the breakfast table this morning. we should say the blackout scenario is the least likely thing. they say the most likely scenario is they will not be problems. if the gas problem in getting from europe
8:06 am
in particular becomes a problem, because we need gas to make lots of our electricity. in worst case scenario, they are saying there could be parapets this winter. vulnerable people would be protected. there might be a three—hour period, most likely in the evening, when everyone is cooking dinner, and those kind of timespan may be a sort of peak in demand that be too much for the whole system. quite interesting that no one is being told necessarily to electricity necessarily. —— use less electricity. and news this morning about avanti west coast? we know they have had problems, you cannot book in advance. what is the

8:08 am
government is avanti west coast must deliver the recovery plan, they must increase from 108 trains a day and must continue to recruit more drivers and get them working on the railways. the shortage of drivers on the way they operate has been part of the problem for all of this disruption. they say they must also extend booking options for passengers to make the full range of tickets available as early as possible. tickets available as early as ossible. ., tickets available as early as possible-— tickets available as early as ossible. . ., ., , possible. can i ask the obvious question? _ possible. can i ask the obvious question? 0r _ possible. can i ask the obvious question? or what? _ possible. can i ask the obvious question? or what? lots i possible. can i ask the obvious question? or what? lots of. possible. can i ask the obvious i question? or what? lots of people listeninr question? or what? lots of people listening to — question? or what? lots of people listening to this _ question? or what? lots of people listening to this will— question? or what? lots of people listening to this will think, - question? or what? lots of people listening to this will think, given i listening to this will think, given how bad it has been since august when this disruption first began, if it can be this bad and you can still have your contract extended for another six months, some people will think about what on earth do you have to do to have your contract taken off you? the statement from the transport secretary says services so far had been unacceptable. they seem to think the

8:10 am
of the children, armed with a gun and a knife. it all went down really fast. he was slashing the knife. he didn't use the gun. he kept slashing in there. it's all by a knife. he was in the middle of reloading the gun. i held my hands up and begged for mercy. i didn't know what to do. the 3a—year—old former police sergeant was sacked injune for using drugs and was awaiting a court verdict. he drove home after the attack, and killed his wife and child before taking his own life. more parents have been arriving this morning to see the scene for themselves. and, later, the king and the prime minister are due to visit. this is a quiet part of rural thailand, where people are struggling to comprehend what can have motivated such violence against the most innocent young lives. dan johnson, bbc news.
8:11 am
our south east asia correspondentjonathan head i spent a lot of time at the scene. he explained the significance of the king's visit to the site of yesterday's attack in thailand. well, that's symbolically extremely important. in fact, we understand the king may offer to preside over the funerals of all of the victims. that's always a very auspicious thing, that the king in thailand doesn't get out and about much — he is not often seen. but it's a mark ofjust what enormous impact this has had that he's realised he wants to come up here with the queen this evening to show his support and solidarity to the victims. i think that will help. i mean, the king is not universally popular but he is very... he sits in a very exalted position. in small communities like that, i think they will feel a great sense of support that the entire governments and the royal family themselves are going to throw their weight behind sharing their grieving. ukraine's emergency services say at least 11 people are now known

rising from multiple districts of the city. we will try to establish more about that in due course. this is not unfamiliar. several mornings where we have been here in the past few days we have heard explosions. often they come from areas on the outskirts of town, industrial areas. there was an area not far in this direction where there were facilities down by the river. usually they don't result in a huge amount of damage and usually not in amount of damage and usually not in a great number of casualties either. let's not forget that zaporizhzhia is only a fee dozen miles from russian —controlled territory. it is in some ways a front—line city, not unfamiliar with being attacked. what happened yesterday with the attack on holmes, on apartment buildings, was deeply shocking here. there was a real sense among people in this city they could be more of that kind

of thing as vladimir putin lashes out while his armed forces are on the back that on the battlefield. thank you very much. prince harry and sir eltonjohn are among a group of high profile public figures, who have started legal action against the publishers of the daily mail and the mail on sunday. the group says associated newspapers obtained stories about them by invading their privacy. associated newspapers called the accusations "defamatory." our home affairs correspondent tom symonds has the story. veterans of the fight against media intrusion. now, prince harry, eltonjohn and his husband david furnish, liz hurley and sadie frost have combined forces to take on the mail, along with, and this was a surprise, baroness doreen lawrence. she's had a warm relationship with the daily mail. two of her son stephen's killers were jailed in 2012. for more than a decade, the mail helped keep the case in the headlines. but this is what the lawyers for her and the others now say associated newspaper journalists have been
8:15 am
involved with — bugging cars and homes, listening to private telephone calls, paying police officers for sensitive information, obtaining medical and financial records. more serious allegations even than phone hacking, according to a lawyer, who's been involved in legal action against associated newspapers. they are highly intrusive. they are a means of delving into the private lives of people, and private lives, which are protected by statutes under the human rights act and by convention by the european convention on human rights. so it is a gross invasion of privacy. if these things occurred, and it would be absolutely right and proper if they did occur that associated newspapers and hopefully some of their senior figures are held to account. phone hacking was not practised by the mail on sunday or the daily mail. that was the former mail editor in 2012. yesterday's statement from associated newspapers...

baroness lawrence had been persuaded to endorse lies, the company said. it's headed for court and it's likely to take years to resolve. if the mail's owners were to lose, the stakes are enormous. tom symonds, bbc news. it's 8:16am. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. i must say, you are delivering this morning with these pictures, you really are. i morning with these pictures, you reall are. ., ., , , ., ., really are. i am only sharing what i wonderful weather _ really are. i am only sharing what i wonderful weather watchers i really are. i am only sharing what i wonderful weather watchers had i wonderful weather watchers had taken. it is stunning here. look what awaits once the rain clears.

8:19 am
full of love and bubbling with excitement. but in secret, overwhelmed by depression and what she saw on social media. ian russell first spoke out about what he found on molly's phone in 2019. this world is so cruel and i don't want to see it any more. the corporate culture at these platforms needs to change. he became a vocal campaigner, taking his message to parliament. and they should live up to their words about taking online safety seriously. then, after almost five years, molly's inquest. time for ian to get some answers. time, too, for meta and pinterest to give evidence under oath. after eight days, the coroner concluded that molly died as a result of an act of self—harm while suffering depression and the negative effects of online content. but any other social media...
8:20 am
for the russell family, at last, a sense ofjustice. i hope that the world will be safer. the digital world particularly will be a safer place to inhabit. and the final thing i want to say is, thank you, molly, for being my daughter. thank you. and there was even support from the future king. prince william writing... yet more pressure then on the government to push through its much delayed online safety bill. molly's life and death still a force for change. angus crawford, bbc news. ian russelljoins us now from central london. thank you so much for your time this

morning. ijust start by thank you so much for your time this morning. i just start by saying, thank you so much for your time this morning. ijust start by saying, and i think probably in behalf of all the people watching you now, how extraordinary your composure, and i think determination is probably a word that would be attached to everything you have done over these years that have passed. i am not sure if you are aware of how much people think that of you. i know your reasons but it is worth noting. that is very kind of you to say that, charlie. it is good to hear. as far as i am concerned, i don't think of myself as a campaigner, i think of myself as a campaigner, i think of myself as a bereaved father, who has learned the hard way about the harms that social media can bring to children. what i want to do is to talk about it in the hope that other families, other parents, other children are more

aware of the dangers that can be found online, so that they can talk about it, so if they come across problems online, they can be connected by the people that they love, by the people that they trust to proper sources of support so they can get better. to proper sources of support so they can get better-— to proper sources of support so they can get better. about what happened in the coroner's _ can get better. about what happened in the coroner's court, _ can get better. about what happened in the coroner's court, what - can get better. about what happened in the coroner's court, what did i can get better. about what happened in the coroner's court, what did you i in the coroner's court, what did you take comfort from and what did you learn as positive? the take comfort from and what did you learn as positive?— learn as positive? the inquest rocess learn as positive? the inquest process was — learn as positive? the inquest process was eight _ learn as positive? the inquest process was eight days - learn as positive? the inquest process was eight days in i learn as positive? the inquest process was eight days in the | process was eight days in the coroner's court but it was also... it is nearly five years since molly died. the whole process has been a long process. in the court itself, there wasn't an awful lot new that we were reacquainted with, the pictures that molly had seen and saved in the videos she had watched.
8:23 am
that brought back pain and made us think about what molly must have been feeling when she saw those videos. the videos were so graphic that we have become used to them. but it was very interesting to see that in the coroner's court people were profoundly affected by people who had to leave because they found them to shopping. one person giving evidence to the coroner was an expert child psychiatrist, who, in his evidence, said that when viewing the material that molly had seen so he could write a witness statement, he could write a witness statement, he had found himself having weeks of bad sleeping. it affected him so much. there are so many other people that that material had affected. it was just being reacquainted with the awful stream of content that our 1a—year—old was exposed to on social media. i 14-year-old was exposed to on social media. ., , 14-year-old was exposed to on social media. .,. ,. 14-year-old was exposed to on social media. .,, y., ., �* media. i hope you don't mind me askinr

8:25 am
said good night and she packed her school bag for the next day. i put my head around her bedroom door as we went to bed and i said, good night, molly can see you in the morning. she answered, see you tomorrow morning. and we never did. as you are saying those words about the conversations, people will be watching you right now in king they are having those conversations this morning, talking to young ones about how they are just more generally. do you think some of this process there is something to learn about communication? i know what you have said and i have read much of what you have said, you felt like you are communicating well and there were not big gaps. what do you say to others about making sure communication is strong? that others about making sure communication is strong? that is the hardest thing —

8:27 am
talk openly about what you find online and talk openly about the way we are all feeling in terms of mental health. none of us go through life without having physical health problems, a headache or a bad back, whatever it might be. none of us goes through life without having mental health problems. they are usually minor and we can sort ourselves out, just as we can with a headache. it is important we are able to talk about any feelings we have any problems we have with mental health, in the same way we communicate the problems we have when we are unwell physically. i was lookinr when we are unwell physically. i was looking through _ when we are unwell physically. i was looking through some _ when we are unwell physically. ! was looking through some of— when we are unwell physically. i was looking through some of the comments of your legal representative in court, oliver sanders, he was talking to the meta executive. that was significant, answering questions. in a frustrating sequence, he said, i suggest to you it is an incredibly unsafe environment were dangerously toxic

to have 13—year—olds, 1a—year—olds in their room is my schooling to rubbish on the fence. the representative said, i respectfully disagree. you'll qc went on to say, why on earth are you doing this? you had no right, you are not a parent, you are a business in america. that encapsulating what many parents will be feeling. what many will be feeling. do you feel you have made progress against people like pinterest and meta in relation to how they are acting now? that -rassae how they are acting now? that passage of— how they are acting now? that passage of the _ how they are acting now? that passage of the proceedings in how they are acting now? tryst passage of the proceedings in court was fascinating. it was frustrating as a parent who has lost a child to hear that. anyway the inquest was a tale of two platforms, two platforms that were represented at the inquest
8:29 am
were pinterest and meta. pinterest seemed to put its hand at and say it was surrey, a tragedy. mehta, on the other hand, seem to be living almost in a state of denial that things on its platform were wrong. when elizabeth was shown material that molly was seeing and saved and liked that i had found on her phones and has shown other people, i don't know anyone in the world who thought that material was safe except for elizabeth. while they are still thinking that, there is still work to be done. the corporate culture at those platforms must change if safety is to come about. i thought from ou safety is to come about. i thought from you about — safety is to come about. i thought from you about the _ safety is to come about. i thought from you about the government i safety is to come about. i thought| from you about the government on internet security. i believe you have had conversations directly about the progress. and you tell me about the progress. and you tell me about that? thy, about the progress. and you tell me about that? r �* . ., about the progress. and you tell me about that?— about that? a bill is going through parliament- _ about that? a bill is going through parliament. it _ about that? a bill is going through parliament. it has _ about that? a bill is going through parliament. it has been _ about that? a bill is going through parliament. it has been five i about that? a bill is going through parliament. it has been five years| parliament. it has been five years in gestation. it has been well

8:32 am
issues to de—stigmatise those problems. it is really important if you are in any way concerned about the health of a child that you have a very direct conversation with them. it is far less dangerous to talk to them and even ask and very direct questions like, are you thinking about ending your life? that will not implant anything in their mind, it will offer them a chance to talk about something if they are concerned. those conversations are important to have great internet regulation is important and tech platforms need to make sure they build insanity by designing in safety in the first instances when they make new products or change products they have online. when that happens, then maybe we will feel a bit of closure. until then journey continues. until then 'ourney continues. thank ou so until then journey continues. thank you so much _ until then journey continues. thank you so much for— until then journey continues. thank you so much for taking _ until then journey continues. thank you so much for taking time - until then journey continues. thank you so much for taking time to i until then journey continues. thank you so much for taking time to speak to us this morning.

that is molly russell's father ian speaking to us. a documentary on that story — called molly russell: a father'sjourney — is available on iplayer now. and if you've been affected by the issues raised in this discussion, you can find help and support at bbc.co.uk/actionline. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm thomas magill. the commissioner of the metropolitan police, sir mark rowley, say�*s he'll remove anyone who damages the integrity of the force — after a bbc investigation found evidence of racist messages in a whatsapp group with recently serving police officers. one of the former officers has now been arrested. sir mark called the content "shameful" and says the matter is being taken very seriously. we're tackling this. i'm sort of currently building and launching a massive new team —
8:34 am
an anti—corruption and abuse command — that is going to take the proactive tactics we use against crime to take on the people who do these sorts of ghastly things in the organisation. because i recognise, if i'm to rebuild trust from the public, the starting point is our integrity. many of us won't realise, but construction workers have the highest suicide rate of any job in the uk — with many describing it as both physically and mentally draining. now one builder from london says more needs to be done to encourage good mental health on building sites. on tonight's we are england we hearfrom some builders about the challenges facing the industry. if you give someone a shovel in their hand and they can dig a hole, you're employable to us. you can do a job. some of these people are coming off of front—line military service, they're coming out of prison service. the root cause of these guys' problems is from outside of the industry. but when they do come into it, there's no support services at that initial stage.
8:35 am
and if you've been affected by this story, there's help on the bbc action line. let's see how the tube is running this morning. the overground is part suspended between stratford and dalston kingsland. let's see how the weather is looking with kawser. good morning. well, we're expecting a change in our weather today with some fairly squally, blustery showers in the forecast. but there will be plenty of dry weather in between, and some decent spells of sunshine — especially during the course of the morning. but it's this cold front here that is progressing across the southeast today, and it will bring some rain for a time into the evening commute. but then once it clears, high pressure builds for the weekend, turning dry and settled once again. but for this morning, plenty of dry weather to start. there will be some cloud around and we'll start to see those showers and those south—westerly winds picking up, too — becoming quite breezy. and temperatures by the afternoon reaching around the mid—to—high teens — up to around 19 celsius. but there's this narrow band of fairly heavy rain that will spread through during the evening hours —
8:36 am
clearing, though, during the night, and it becomes drier with clearer skies and fairly chilly, too, as temperatures dip down to around the single figures — five to seven celsius. so a chilly start to saturday, but there will be plenty in the way of sunshine in store, with that high pressure in charge — temperatures reaching around 16 celsius. sunday, too, is not looking too bad — there will be some cloud around, some spells of sunshine. it's later on sunday, though, there may be, once again, the chance of some rain. that's it. jim davis is taking you through the morning on bbc radio london. i'm back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. they say true friends are there when you need them most —

and when 12—year—old hughie was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2020 his best pal freddie was right by his side. you will remember this story. over the last few years, we've been following the pair as they've raised thousands of pounds for cancer hospitals. now they've created a new book all about the power of friendship. let's remind ourselves of their story. friendships like this don't come around often. when hughie was diagnosed with leukemia, family friend freddy decided to do something to help. his idea was simple — he wanted to run two kilometres a day for 50 days in the run up to christmas, completing his 100th kilometre on christmas day. ready, freddie, go! but his simple idea soon turned into a mammoth fundraiser — raising more than £200,000 for the royal manchester children's hospital. i think, on behalf of everybody, thank you so much for all your hard work.

8:47 am
going to be amazing. yeah. it's beautiful. we have to keep pinching ourselves to make sure it really is happening. and to see — to actually see the statue there, although it is covered at the moment, is... it's...mind—blowing. and how emotional is it? 0h! we can't put into words the depth of feeling that we have. anyone says something nice and we're both bursting into tears, aren't we? which is ridiculous! they laugh. jack leslie was the only black player in the english league at the time, and went on to captain argyle. the son of a jamaican father and english mother, he would have been the first black player to represent england. half a century would pass before viv anderson would make that breakthrough. jack leslie scored more than 130 goals during his time here at argyle — he's the club's fourth—highest goal—scorer — and it was in 1925 that he was called into the manager's office and told that he'd been selected to play for england.
8:48 am
but when the papers came out, an aston villa player was in the team, jack was named as a travelling reserve. there was speculation at the time that members of the fa had objected when they became aware of his ethnicity. because he was playing such brilliant football, he wasn't injured, he hadn't been suspended... the only issue was the colour of his skin. granddad himself was never bitter. he was obviously upset — it would have been the accolade of his career — but he just kind of shrugged it off, didn't he? he was just pleased to be a paid footballer, which... football was his passion, and to be paid for doing what you love — he was just happy to do that. campaigners say jack's story had been forgotten over the years — they raised more than £100,000 for this statue to raise awareness of his achievements. to see jack come home to -

plymouth argyle isjust incredible. jack leslie was a true argyle legend, but also the story . of what happened to him with the england call—up| is an important story to be told, i think. . and, you know, it's great that schoolchildren have been - learning about jack, - and that they're coming to the unveiling. and the storytelling. on the plinth itself that explains what what happened to him. as a young boy, i never heard anything about jack leslie, which is a shame, because i think i would have been inspired by him, by the story. ronnie mauge played for argyle in the 1990s, and scored their only goal at wembley. i received racial abuse up and down the country, so... and i thought it was bad then. but, you know, if you think — go back 60 years, 70 years, it must have been horrendous forjack. how far do you think we've come, and how much more work do you think needs to be done? racism isn't a football problem, it's a social problem. and until we start...we start looking at the social aspects of racism and we,
