an nhs health check at the age of 45 so they can discuss the menopause with their doctor. heartbreakfor the home nations as both scotland and wales fail to qualify for the women's world cup. a cold start the day in the southeast with patchy thrust, the rest of us do not have a skull to start as yesterday. —— with apache frost, the rest of us do not have as cold start as yesterday. it's wednesday 12th october. our main story. the value of the pound has fallen sharply after the bank of england confirmed it won't extend an emergency financial support package beyond this friday. the measures were launched nearly two weeks ago because of the turmoil prompted by the chancellor's mini budget. our economics editor, faisal islam reports.

the problems in uk financial markets are not solved. the bank of england has repeatedly stepped in to help the pensions industry since chancellor kwasi kwarteng's controversial mini budget. but the message from governor andrew bailey to the bbc is that while people and pensioners should be reassured, the support is going to end this weekend. we are doing everything to preserve financial stability and, you know, you have my assurance on that. i think there is an important task now for the funds to ensure that they are done. tough love for the pensions industry that had hoped for help until the uncertainty over the government's economic plans had been settled. but that will not happen. while actual pensions are safe, there could be an impact in the markets, further pushing up borrowing costs across the economy. that will also ratchet up pressure on the government over its plan. the chancellor has just arrived here too for international monetary fund meetings.

the meetings at the imf are mainly for the world's finance ministers and central bank governors to try and sort out the world economy. but the world's top bankers also meet and they're in that building right now. and everybody seems to have questions about what is going on with the british economy. and the answer the chancellor needs to give this week is one that gives confidence, because there are doubts that they can come up with a plan that is both economically credible and politically viable. governor, i can't tell you how many people over the last 2a hours have told me they're glad that you're in the chair. it's been hard work for the governor. and certainly, here the world's top bankers are using the crisis word in relation to the uk. the chancellor will have to convince his plan will work and quickly. faisal islam, bbc news, at the imf in washington.

so what does this mean in the real world? ben is here to explain. we hear all of the talk of stocks and gilts and bonds, but is the impact for us? it gilts and bonds, but is the impact for us? u, gilts and bonds, but is the impact for us? , ., ., , for us? it can be and feel really rude but investors _ for us? it can be and feel really rude but investors are - for us? it can be and feel really rude but investors are charging | for us? it can be and feel really - rude but investors are charging the government more to lend it money, in terms that pushes up our borrowing costs. in bonds, that is in simple terms, and are you that the government issues, it borrows money and promises to pay it back with interest. —— it is an iou. investors know they will get their money and they will get their interest so it is low risk. that is why a lot of pension funds hold them, you can guarantee income when people draw their pensions. but what we have seen, investors charging the government more because they are seeing lending to the uk government as higher risk than it was before.

it's because of, in large part, the mini budget that the chancellor unveiled. why do they see the uk is a riskier place to put their money? because the tax cuts that were announced, they didn't feel they had enough detail on how that is going to be paid for. the chancellor said it will create growth which will raise more taxes and that is how it will be ultimately paid for. the investors and the financial markets were not convinced by that. that's why the chancellor is a saying he will bring forward the day when he gives more detail on the independent review of his plans by the office of budget responsibility. we have already seen it feed through from the mortgage market, last week the interest rate on a typical five year mortgage and two year mortgage at up to 6% for the first time in a decade. the other elected has is on the pound. investors have worries about the strength of the uk economy

so they will sell their investments in pounds which pushes the value of the pound down. it has been quite volatile, going up and down a few cents here and there against the dollar. but if you are a business buying in from abroad, how do you plan for that, for what prices you will charge people if your costs for buying all of those raw materials and goods is changing day today? the organisations that assess all of this are saying there are concerns about the uk's economic growth in the year ahead. the about the uk's economic growth in the year ahead.— about the uk's economic growth in the year ahead. the bank of england toda no the year ahead. the bank of england today no more _ the year ahead. the bank of england today no more help _ the year ahead. the bank of england today no more help after _ the year ahead. the bank of england today no more help after friday - the year ahead. the bank of england today no more help after friday but. today no more help after friday but it is two weeks until the chancellor explained his spending so we have this potential gap of two weeks. i had an analyst on the new channel yesterday saying it is a bit like a doctor, the governor of the bank of england, going into the patient and saying, you better be well by friday because we are going to stop treating you on friday. there is pressure for the bank to continue

beyond that but we will see. interesting to watch the markets, thank you, ben will be with us this morning. one of the last remaining stars of hollywood's golden age, the actress dame angela lansbury, has died at her home in los angeles, at the age of 96. in a career spanning more than eight decades, she was perhaps best known for her role as the tv detective jessica fletcher in the hit series, murder she wrote. robert townsend looks back at her life. suppose the master comes back and asks where you've gone? tell him ijust went for a walk. by yourself? she was 17. it was her first part, playing alongside ingrid bergman, for which she was nominated for an oscar. angela lansbury�*s career couldn't have started any better. in due course, there were starring roles in hollywood and on television. you ought to shoot the presidential nominee through the head. in the manchurian candidate, she played the monstrous mother of a brainwashed son. increasingly, it was character parts like this, which she came to be offered.

rallying a nation of television viewers into hysteria to sweep us up into the white house with powers that will make martial law seem like anarchy. in her 60s, she reinvented herself as a television actress. above all, as the genteel detective jessica fletcher in murder, she wrote. last night, the police arrested him for killing hemsley post. shee produced the shows as well as starring in them and became, they said, the richest woman in hollywood at the time with an estimated fortune of $70 million. herfilms for children showed her gift for comedy. oh, bother! i do hate shoddy work. there was bedknobs and broomsticks, and later, nanny mcphee. i smell death. no, no, at least not noticeably. my mother was a medium before me. at the age of nearly 90, she was starring in noel coward's blithe spirit

in the west end. i had my first trance when i was four and a half, and my first... and was thrilled to be made a dame. it's a lovely thing to be recognised and given that nod of approval by your own country, and i really cherish it. a character actress as comfortable on stage as she was on screen. over many decades, angela lansbury was one of britain's most versatile and successful performers. dame angela lansbury who has died at the age of 96. she dame angela lansbury who has died at the age of 965-— dame angela lansbury who has died at the age of 9&— the age of 96. she was brilliant, ou see the age of 96. she was brilliant, you see that _ the age of 96. she was brilliant, you see that film _ the age of 96. she was brilliant, you see that film and _ the age of 96. she was brilliant, you see that film and you - the age of 96. she was brilliant, l you see that film and you realise, what a career, from the gold and black and white days of hollywood right up to the last couple of years. a sad loss. women should be invited for a menopause check—up when they turn a5. that's according to a new report from a group of cross—party mps. it follows a year—long inquiry which found many women face long waits to see a gp, or were offered antidepressants,

against guidelines. anjana gadgil reports. misunderstood, misdiagnosed and ignored. common complaints from women going through the menopause. it's an issue highlighted by celebrity campaigners who went to parliament injune to tell their stories. a heat that you can never imagine, like a fire was set at your feet that grew further and further up into your body. your hormones are always fluctuating so you have this yo—yo effect. so, sometimes you think it's gone away, i've got it under control, and then itjust comes back full force. menopause usually happens between the ages of 45 and 55 when periods stop due to lower hormone levels. the months leading up to that are called the perimenopause, where a whole range of symptoms can start, including hot flushes, night sweats and migraines. so, at the moment what i'm classically seeing is that women will be on their knees, so they've got the point where they've sort of put up

with symptoms because they don't want to disturb the doctor. i've had some women who genuinely come and seen me and think, "i thought i've got dementia, doctor." women who have recurrent urinary tract infections which actually could be the first signs of the fact they've got genitourinary syndrome of the menopause, or something known as vaginal atrophy, which is so little known about. women will have palpitations, anxiety, panic attack, mental health symptoms, lack of libido, which can really impact relationships as well. so we don't want women to wait until all those symptoms get really bad before they come to us. for the past year, a group of mps from all parties have heard from menopausal women, doctors and employers to see what can be done to help. today, their recommendations will be presented to the government. they include inviting all women for a menopause checkup at a5, scrapping prescription costs for hrt in england in line with the rest of the uk, and more training for gps.

the shortage of hrt also needs to be addressed. the increased demand is down to the pressure groups and the campaign groups and the davina effect and everything else that we've seen. that drives women to go to their gp and to ask for hrt. what the government are not doing is working with the manufacturers to make sure they're producing enough hrt and it's readily available. hence we've seen the shortages. so i think that will be a continual problem because we are not keeping abreast of what the demand is. other recommendations include better support for women in the workplace. 51% of the population will experience menopause and it's an experience women are increasingly more willing to share. anjana gadgil, bbc news. prosecutors in the us have dropped all charges against adnan syed, whose case gained worldwide attention through the true crime podcast, serial. he served 23 years in prison

after being convicted of the murder of his ex—girlfriend hae min lee in 2000. the podcast, which was released eight years ago raised doubts over his conviction, which was overturned last month. the coronation of king charles iii will take place at westminster abbey on saturday the 6th of may next year. the queen consort will also be crowned at the ceremony, which will be led by the archbishop of canterbury. our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, reports. for king charles, a coronation on may 6th next year, which royal sources say will be shorter, smaller and more diverse than the coronation of the late queen elizabeth nearly 70 years ago. his will be a coronation which officials believe will be in tune with the britain of today. back in 1953, for the late queen's coronation, the interior of westminster abbey was transformed. special viewing galleries were built to accommodate a congregation, which was nearly four times

the abbey's normal capacity. they watched a service which was attended by hundreds of hereditary peers and which lasted nearly three hours. the great tradition of the coronation is that the monarch should be crowned in the sight of all the people. and in 1953 that was interpreted as turning that into a sort of football stadium, with 8,000 people instead of the normal 2.000. king charles is going to have to winnow down the heads of state, the dignitaries, heads of charities, military people, not to mention the whole church of england establishment, and other faiths. it's going to be a very tough challenge for him and his invitation committee. so for king charles and his officials, a challenge — to devise a service which remains true to the 1,000—year—old traditions of the coronation and which delivers the best of british pageantry, while demonstrating the relevance of this ancient institution of monarchy to the britain of the 21st century. nicholas witchell, bbc news.

our royal correspondent sarah campbell is outside buckingham palace this morning. good morning, sarah. the world has changed so dramatically since the last time we saw a coronation. what can we expect from the actual ceremony this time around? in the macro as you say, back in 1953, the coronation came shortly after the end of the second world war. there was a feeling _ end of the second world war. there was a feeling of _ end of the second world war. there was a feeling of rebuilding - end of the second world war. there was a feeling of rebuilding of - was a feeling of rebuilding of britain and a much—needed morale boost. that's how it was designed and planned. we are in a very different scenario now. so it will be a real balancing act. the group is called operation golden orb, this is called operation golden orb, this is the planning committee, and they have got a real balancing act, how to reflect the priorities of the new king, how to satisfy those who will want some of the pomp and pageantry

from such an ancient service, but be mindful of the fat by next summer, goodness knows how hard the winter will have been for many people, what the economic situation will be like, it's got to be mindful of that. we heard the mood music from the palace is, shorter, not a three—hour ceremony, smaller, not 8000 people crammed into westminster abbey, and more diverse. the king has expressed his commitment to the diverse faiths and communities in the uk so although it is primarily an anglican service, that will be reflected. questions we have not had answers to, a bank holiday, the coronation is on a saturday so will there be a bank holiday to allow for a long weekend? and what about the procession? hundreds of thousands in 1953 camped out to see the queen go past in a golden coach on the way to westminster abbey. we will have the

details ironed out but the 6th of may, the king and queen consort will be crowned. 50 may, the king and queen consort will be crowned. , may, the king and queen consort will be crowned-— may, the king and queen consort will be crowned._ it - be crowned. so it is a saturday. it is the saturday _ be crowned. so it is a saturday. it is the saturday before _ be crowned. so it is a saturday. it is the saturday before eurovision. i is the saturday before eurovision. oh, my word!— is the saturday before eurovision. oh, my word! what a week that is auoin to oh, my word! what a week that is going to be! _ oh, my word! what a week that is going to be! uk. _ oh, my word! what a week that is going to be! uk, prepare - oh, my word! what a week that is i going to be! uk, prepare yourselves! leaders of the g7 industrialised nations have pledged to continue to provide ukraine with military and financial support for as long as it takes. it comes after president zelensky called for further help, following an escalation of russian missile attacks. we can speak now to our correspondent, hugo bachega, who joins us from ukraine's capital, kyiv. hugo, as those pledges have come through, how have they been received in ukraine, in kyiv? goad through, how have they been received in ukraine, in kyiv?— in ukraine, in kyiv? good morning, jon. i in ukraine, in kyiv? good morning, jon- i think — in ukraine, in kyiv? good morning, jon. i think this _ in ukraine, in kyiv? good morning, jon. i think this is _ in ukraine, in kyiv? good morning, jon. i think this is going _ in ukraine, in kyiv? good morning, jon. i think this is going to - in ukraine, in kyiv? good morning, jon. i think this is going to be - jon. i think this is going to be welcomed by the authorities here. we are back broadcasting from our live

position in central kyiv, the air raid sirens went off an hour ago but just before we came on air we had the all clearfrom the just before we came on air we had the all clear from the authorities. we had the air raid sirens going off three times last night, very unusual, it shows how tense the situation is. yesterday we heard from president zelensky addressing that online summit of g7 leaders. he asked for more military support, he said ukraine needed more air defence capabilities, to and protect the country from the threat of russian missiles. this is going to be one of the main points to be discussed later today, when nato defence ministers meet in brussels. president zelensky said he expected a positive response from nato countries. that was after that meeting. here in kyiv and across the country, work is under way to restore electricity, services in place that were hit by russian

missiles on monday, critical civilian infrastructure has been hit. president zelensky said work has been restored in most parts of the country. has been restored in most parts of the country-— has been restored in most parts of the count . ., ~' ., ., ~ the country. good to know, thank you very much- — we've a remarkable picture to show you this morning. buzz! i love the sound effect! this is a swarm of male cactus bees attempting to mate with a single female. that is a saucy picture, should we be showing it at this time of the morning? it was the grand title winner in this year's wildlife photographer of the year competition and was captured by karine aigner from the us. can't quite see them on the wider shot! it is that macro lens on. titer? shot! it is that macro lens on. very hot and sunny _ shot! it is that macro lens on. very hot and sunny wherever _ shot! it is that macro lens on. - hot and sunny wherever that was! let's find out what the weather is going to be like for us, carol.

good morning. a cold start once again across the south—east, temperatures post a freezing end of a defroster but for the rest of us, a defroster but for the rest of us, a mile to start that yesterday. we have rain coming in, and some breezes. clear skies and the south—east hence the low temperatures, the cloud building, could catch the odd shower head with the weather front exiting scotland and northern ireland. pushing into england and wales. will not get into the far south—east by the end of daylight hours, it will be later. behind it, brighterskies daylight hours, it will be later. behind it, brighter skies with one or two showers. temperatures 12 to 18 degrees. this evening and overnight, you can see how weak the weather front is as it moves into the south—east. it peps up before the south—east. it peps up before the end of the night. behind it under clear skies, patchy mist and fog forming, cold night in the north, particularly eastern scotland and north—east england where temperatures could fall down to

freezing. much milder in the south thanit freezing. much milder in the south than it has been for the last few nights. tomorrow we see the rain clear away and then we get into some uncertainty in the forecast. it looks like a system across the south will introduce some cloud and patchy rain, mostly across southern counties and the english channel but this could move a bit more north or south. we also have rain pushing through scotland and northern ireland, not getting into the east. in between, something drier and brighter with some sunshine. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily telegraph reports that the bank of england's move to end emergency support for pension funds has prompted a sharp fall in the pound. the paper says the fall in sterling is "likely to prompt nervousness that the bank is committing a policy error". the guardian leads with a story about windfall taxes. the paper says the cap

on the profits of renewable energy firms provoked accusations that downing street had performed "another screeching u—turn" after previously rejecting calls to impose such a tax. the times goes with the same lead, reporting that green power firms face a windfall tax to fund lower enegry bills. we lower enegry bills. hope to get some clarity about this we hope to get some clarity about this from the government this morning. the paper also reports that energy companies say the move could deter investment in renewables. and one of the most watched stories on bbc online this morning is about a human—like robot which fell asleep whilst being quizzed at the house of lords. wouldn't be the first! the robot was created to provoke a debate about the nature of technology, and peers on the communications and digital committee were keen to hear from their star witness herself. she was less keen, apparently. she looks it! back _ she was less keen, apparently. sie: looks it! back to

candidate, some of the ones she made at mgm, she made herfirst movie at 17 years old with ingrid bergman and ingrid treated her as a friend and they were both five foot eight, and that gave her confidence that even though she was tall, she could get parts. she called herself a character actor. she said, parts. she called herself a characteractor. she said, in parts. she called herself a character actor. she said, in mgm days, she was part of that studio system. they were the glamour girls, she said, i was not one of the glamour girls. i had to get into character and be someone completely different than who i was stopped and that allowed me to have such an interesting life and delve into so many different characters and so many different characters and so many different characters and so many different people. we many different characters and so many different people.— many different characters and so many different people. we have 'ust seen some pictures i many different people. we have 'ust seen some pictures of i many different people. we have 'ust seen some pictures of her i many different people. we have just seen some pictures of her posing i many different people. we have just| seen some pictures of her posing for photographs on the stage here in the uk, we have seen pictures of her on the red carpet and at the oscars.

good morning to him! he always watches! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, with me alison earle. the new metropolitan police commissioner will appear before the london assembly's police and crime committee this morning to answer questions about his plans for the force. sir mark rowley said he wants to restore the public�*s trust in policing after a series of scandals within the met. he's also promised to root out corrupt, racist and homophobic staff. some of the capital's food banks have given out more meals this year than in the whole of the previous one. greenwich foodbank says it expects to deliver over 100,000 meals by next week. it's also handing out more than it receives in donations, meaning it has to pay £6,000 a month to make up the shortfall. depending on giving, we will be able to sustain that, hopefully, through the winter.

but that's if prices of food don't go up. that's if levels of food bank use don't go up, and we predict that they will. there has never been a better time to support your local food bank. a charity in south london which aims to improve life skills through horses is giving young people the chance to try stunt riding. ebony horse club in brixton has teamed up with the devil's horsemen who've worked on productions like game of thrones and the crown. it's part of a scheme to show the range ofjobs in the equestrian sector. it's not just always aboutjockeying, showjumping, dressage, there is also in the film industry, there is horses involved in that as well. so, yeah, i was really shocked. never would i thought i'd be, you know, doing stunting with a horse or stuff like that but it's really cool. travel now... and this is how tfl

services are looking. there are minor delays on the victoria line. and there are severe delays on the overground between liverpool street and cheshunt/ enfield. now the weather with katerina. hello there, good morning to you. i think for many today it is going to be mostly dry. there isjust a chance of the odd isolated shower through the course of this afternoon. there will be more cloud around as compared with yesterday. this cold front will track south eastwards, not really reaching us through this evening and overnight. as it does move through, it mayjust pep up slightly. so any mist and fog this morning will clear, cloud amounts will increase from the west. but through the course of the day, as you can see, that cloud will break occasionally to allow for some sunny spells. the chance of the odd isolated shower today. a light to moderate breeze, and we are looking at highs of around 18 degrees there in central london. we will hold onto plenty of cloud through this evening and overnight, with some rain moving through. that rain just may pep up slightly as it does move through. yes, we are going to hold onto plenty of cloud, perhaps a few clear spells, across the far north and we will see a few mist and fog patches form as well. our temperatures tonight will dip

to around 12 degrees, much milder than the nightjust gone. so through thursday we will start off on a mostly dry note, there will be some sunshine through the morning. but the cloud amounts will increase to the afternoon. still some uncertainty as to how far north of that rain will track from the south—west. you'll find more updates on our website including this — a sneak peek inside the all new battersea power station before it opens. that's it for now, i'm back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. lots of economic news this morning. we heard over night ahead of the bank of england says after this friday he's going to stop that multi—billion pound scheme to try to stabilise the uk economy. and that comes at the same time as can be getting warnings the uk economy might take longer than expected to

recover. let's explain what this means for us with ben.- recover. let's explain what this means for us with ben. yes, you're absolutely — means for us with ben. yes, you're absolutely right, _ means for us with ben. yes, you're absolutely right, international- means for us with ben. yes, you're| absolutely right, international fund can the imf as it's known is warning warning that the whole world is facing some tough economic times ahead. it singled out the uk in particular though. ahead. it singled out the uk in particularthough. let ahead. it singled out the uk in particular though. let me talk you through what we know. the imf is blaming the war in ukraine and the subsequent spiralling prices for energy and food for the prospects of a global recession. it's massively revised down its financial forecast for the uk's economy and warning that british economic growth will grind to a near halt next year and says 2023 will feel like a recession for many people. this all comes after the new chancellor's mini budget last month. among other measures, kwasi kwarteng offered to slash taxes for the highest earners although he has since you turned on that particular decision. but the

markets have been spooked and while the latest forecasts from the imf do not take the mini budget into account, it is made an unusually outspoken statement suggesting the chancellors plans are likely to increase inequality and add to pressure is pushing up prices. titers; pressure is pushing up prices. very aenerall pressure is pushing up prices. very generally what _ pressure is pushing up prices. very generally what we _ pressure is pushing up prices. very generally what we are saying is, look. _ generally what we are saying is, look, countries are facing an energy crisis, _ look, countries are facing an energy crisis, governments need to do something to put families and help businesses but it has to be done in a way— businesses but it has to be done in a way that— businesses but it has to be done in a way that is— businesses but it has to be done in a way that is not working at cross purposes — a way that is not working at cross purposes with what we are trying to do which _ purposes with what we are trying to do which is — purposes with what we are trying to do which is bring down inflation that requires cooling off, slowing down _ that requires cooling off, slowing down the — that requires cooling off, slowing down the economy. in a sense, what you have _ down the economy. in a sense, what you have is _ down the economy. in a sense, what you have is imagine a car with two drivers— you have is imagine a car with two drivers on— you have is imagine a car with two drivers on the front and each of them _ drivers on the front and each of them with— drivers on the front and each of them with a steering wheel and one wants— them with a steering wheel and one wants to _ them with a steering wheel and one wants to go left and one wants to go right, _ wants to go left and one wants to go right, one _ wants to go left and one wants to go right, one of the central bank trying — right, one of the central bank trying to— right, one of the central bank trying to cool off the economy, so that price — trying to cool off the economy, so that price pressures will ease, and the other— that price pressures will ease, and the other one ones to spend more to support— the other one ones to spend more to support families but, beyond that, is going _ support families but, beyond that, is going to — support families but, beyond that, is going to add to demand so the car is going to add to demand so the car

there is something to lift the mood if you like. good morning. wales missing out on a first major tournament, while scotland were left to rue a missed penalty as both home nations saw their hopes of reaching the world cup evaporate last night. it means the euros in the world cup as had now passed them by. jane dougall has the story. far from the land of their fathers but hoping to go further. a win for wales in switzerland would just be a step towards a first major tournament. this was their chance. roberts grabbed it. roberts, yes! how about this? for a moment wales believed. but the euphoria was short—lived. a well—worked goal gave switzerland the equaliser. that meant extra time. and right on the last minute,

switzerland broke wales' hearts. they celebrated and wales watched their world cup dream slip away. a wales defeat was not helpful for scotland. now all they could do was leave everything on this hampden pitch and hope that would be enough. back for thomas! the republic of ireland stood in their way. ..caroline weir couldn't convert. a skilful ball back to barrett who kept her cool. that was ireland's winner, sending. that picture says it all. while scotland will have to watch another major tournament from afar.

we are back in the game. england's 15 match winning run came to an end as they drew 0—0 in a friendly with the czech republic the lionesses have already qualified for the world cup with a game to spare, so not too much riding on this one in brighton. but the match was an important landmark for defender lucy bronze, who won her 100th cap. to the champions league action last night. chelsea beat ac milan to put them on course for the champions league knockout phase. they were a goal up from the penalty spot after fikayo tomoroi was sent off. pierre emerick aubameyeng made sure of the points with his goal to continue graham potter's unbeaten start as chelsea manager, with four wins in his first five games. manchester city have qualified. what is surprising though they didn't score in their draw with copenhagen. rodri thought he had but var spotted a riyad mahrez handball in the build—up. the city forward also had a penalty saved. goalless last night. we haven't seen that from them this season, not

scoring. but celtic are out after a tough night at home to rb leipzig, losing 2—0, but could still drop into the europa league after shaktar donestk failed to win. stories of disappointment but a bit of triumph for manchester city progressing and certainly chelsea going so well at the moment since graham potter was taken over so going on the right direction. you bring us all of the sports news, john, notjust the great news. but it's a mixed bag as it always is. a bit like my throat! a lozenge, please. go and get one, treat yourself to a throated suite, yes. thank you very much indeed. as we've been hearing this morning, the date for the coronation of king charles ii! has been officially announced by buckingham palace. it will take place on 6th of may at westminster abbey. it's a saturday. it's an occasion that traditionally involves plenty of pomp and pageantry, but there are concerns it could send the wrong message at a time when people are facing cost—of—living pressures.

graham smith, the chief executive of campaign group republic, joins us now. good morning to you, thank you very much indeed. i wonder, as a leading member of the public, what do you think when you get initial details and the date for the coronation? i mean, there's no need for a coronation, that's the key point. charles is already king. there is no constitutional or legal reason to have a coronation, other countries got rid of them years ago. the swedish king in 1867! think it was said there is no need for these things any more. they are out of date. we are facing huge economic and financial pressures, seeing more cuts to public services, people having to use food banks in greater numbers and see charles spending tens of millions of pounds of public

money on a celebration of him becoming the monarch at that time i think it's absolutely appalling and the whole thing should be scrapped. we are expecting more details in the months ahead, but all the indications are that he ones to have a shorter, cheaper, slimmed down coronation compared with that of his mother back in the 19505. but you say that's not enough, and you would not have one at all?— not have one at all? there isn't any oint for not have one at all? there isn't any point for it- — not have one at all? there isn't any point for it- of _ not have one at all? there isn't any point for it. of course, _ not have one at all? there isn't any point for it. of course, he - not have one at all? there isn't any point for it. of course, he has i point for it. of course, he has taken thejob for point for it. of course, he has taken the job for no reason other than the fact his mother had it before him, and instead of a coronation which is going to be this huge state funded celebration and promotion, e55entially what it is, pr, we should have a serious debate about why he is the head of state. perhaps instead of a coronation have a televised debate where there are other potential heads of states alongside charles and see how he

fares against serious 5crutiny. there are serious accusations and allegations relating to the monarchy generally, and these are the things should be talking about, not we should be talking about, not whether or not we should be spending of what will be a millions of pounds on what will be a huge event. it doesn't matter whether it slimmed down, it's still going to be a huge event, 5till going to be a huge event, still going to be a huge event, still going to be a huge event, still going to spend tens of millions of pounds of public money at a time when ho5pital5 pounds of public money at a time when hospitals and police and schools are struggling. i think it's appalling any money should be spent on this at this time. at any time but certainly at this time. i the royal family will say that the coronation moment is exactly that, it's an opportunity for the country, for the commonwealth, to think about the future of the royal family and that's exactly what it's about, not just about the ceremony but a time to take stock, and it allows that conversation you are wanting. well, i mean, i

conversation you are wanting. well, i mean. i would _ conversation you are wanting. well, i mean, i would say _ conversation you are wanting. well, i mean, i would say the _ conversation you are wanting. -ii i mean, i would say the experience of the last two weddings, two jubilees and more recently the accession of king charles shows that the public debate is pretty poor not least because of broadcasters who largely exclude the opinions around a quarter of people, the population, almost entirely, the occasional exception 5uch almost entirely, the occasional exception such as interviews like this, but the debate is not being taken seriously, not being properly addressed. you know, we should be addre55ed. you know, we should be having serious discussions about who charles ayers, why he isn't answering tho5e allegations, why we had report not long ago of him accepting 3 million euros in cash from someone who has links with al-qaeda. last year i reported to the police on suspicion of cash for honours accusations which came out from the sunday times. you know,

there are lots of accusations and allegations relating to the duchy of cornwall while he was duke of cornwall, and the monarchy is repeatedly being shown to lobby and demand exemptions and laws to spend public money on themselves. charles is going around lecturing on the environment whilst flying by helicopter as a routine means of transport. there are lots of reasons why we should be discussing who charles is and whether he should be monarch, whether we should have a monarch, whether we should have a monarch, and those people who say he is demonic and is a great monarch and whatever, —— he is the monarch. so lets put him in front of a camera to properly challenge them and then see if you still think that and if you do there maybe have a boat and see whether he winds. that's the sort of debate, the level we should be aiming for, not the wall—to—wall

further in the commonwealth. particularly in the caribbean. we are also seeing a drop in support in places like the netherlands and other parts of europe for their monarchies, so he is on borrowed time and this is a definitely a good time and this is a definitely a good time when we need to have a much more serious discussion about whether we can actually move on to something more democratic. igate whether we can actually move on to something more democratic. we have to leave it there _ something more democratic. we have to leave it there but _ something more democratic. we have to leave it there but thank _ something more democratic. we have to leave it there but thank you - something more democratic. we have to leave it there but thank you very i to leave it there but thank you very much forjoining us live on breakfast. the weather coming up with karen after seven o'clock this morning. from the hapless del boy in only fools and horses to the long—suffering granville in open all hours, sir david jason has brought us some of the best—loved charachters in british television. now, in an exclusive interview with breakfast, he's been sharing his reaction to being officially declared a national treasure, by buckingham palace no less. i've been speaking to him. that's going to really confuse things! they laugh.

yes! how have the last couple of years been — the pandemic and the changes to life? well, for a time there i was fine, and then a couple of three months ago i went to... i tell you what happened. i went to the fairford airshow and i caught the dreaded covid. and did i get it bad? i got it seriously bad. how did it affect you? what happened ? i got out of the bed in the early hours to visit... to make a visit. and because all the muscles weren't working i collapsed. my arms wouldn't work and my legs wouldn't work. so, being a very creative and inventive person as what i am, i thought, how will i get from here to the door? so, you know, walruses, when you see walrus, if you watch david attenborough, they they walk on land. yeah. they crawl on land.

that's what i did. but in order to do that, i had to use my head. so now i'm lying face down on the ground and, in order to get the door, and the arms really weren't working, the legs weren't working, sorry about this, but this is what happened. i was using my head to drag me to the door. so, just as i got to the door, the door opened and, i was going to say whacked me on the head, but it wasn't. it was my good lady wife and she managed to help me get back into bed. but later on the next day, i got carpet burns all down my forehead and across the top of my nose. so i think i'm the only person who had covid and carpet burns. at the same time? in the same time. bit of improv as a walrus. well, yes. i'd love to see a video of that. well, thank god she wasn't with her phone, because probably that was the first thing

she would have done! 2022, you're officially declared a national treasure as part of the jubilee celebrations. oh, yeah. yeah. what was that like? well, listen. very difficult to take it seriously, you know. isay, "oh, yeah, i'm a leg—end!" i'm a leg—end that keeps either side of the television still working occasionally! so a living leg—end? a living leg—end, that's me. it must have been special to be part of the jubilee celebrations. now we know that the queen passed awayjust a few months later, to have been part of thosejubilee celebrations of the 70 years of her reign now, looking back on it, it must have been even more special? well, yeah, it really was. but what did happen was that really did surprise me and bring a smile

to my face was that you got the great coach coming down. you got all the soldiers and the horses and the pageantry and all the wonderful things and all trotting down and the gold coach and all of this. and then i sort of look up the mall and down there comes the ruddy trotters' van! and you go, "i don't believe this. "why is the trotters' van there?" but it was because it was part of the national identity, if you like. and it did it did make me laugh and bring a smile to my face. i'm just thinking now to the winter 2022, a lot of people going through really tough times, cost of living crisis. i'm trying to imagine how would the trotters be dealing with this? how would del be reacting to the cost of living crisis? bless him, john sullivan, the creator, the writer, he is unfortunately no longer with us, butjohn would have grabbed that by the scruff of its neck and he would have come up with some

plans and he would have wrung some real humour out of the situation. but del boy would have come up with a scheme to make a bit of cash, wouldn't he? no way. no way, pal, would he have hurt any of our humble people who live and work in this country. but if there was a few quid to be made, yes, of course. out of all those christmas specials that you've done over the years, the only fools and horses ones, what's your favourite episode? oh, i don't know. there's so many. i suppose one, because the silliness of the joke was to hull and back. yeah. the most expensivejoke in british television, i think. oi! john!

and homophobic staff. some of the capital's food banks have given out more meals this year than in the whole of the previous one. greenwich foodbank says it expects to deliver over 100,000 meals by next week. it's also handing out more than it receives in donations, meaning it has to pay 6,000 pounds a month to make up the shortfall. depending on giving, we will be able to sustain that, hopefully, through the winter. but that's if prices of food don't go up. that's if levels of food bank use don't go up, and we predict that they will. there has never been a better time to support your local food bank. a charity in south london which aims to improve life skills through horses is giving young people the chance to try stunt riding. ebony horse club in brixton has teamed up with the devil's horsemen who've worked on productions like game of thrones and the crown. it's part of a scheme to show the range ofjobs

in the equestrian sector. it's not just always aboutjockeying, showjumping, dressage, there is also in the film industry, there is horses involved in that as well. so, yeah, i was really shocked. never would i thought i'd be, you know, doing stunting with a horse or stuff like that but it's really cool. travel now. and this is how tfl services are looking. there are minor delays on the victoria line. now the weather with katerina. hello there, good morning to you. i think for many today it is going to be mostly dry. there isjust a chance of the odd isolated shower through the course of this afternoon. there will be more cloud around as compared with yesterday. this cold front will track south eastwards, not really reaching us through this evening and overnight. as it does move through, it mayjust pep up slightly. so any mist and fog this morning will clear, cloud amounts will increase from the west. but through the course of the day, as you can see, that cloud

will break occasionally to allow for some sunny spells. the chance of the odd isolated shower today. a light to moderate breeze, and we are looking at highs of around 18 degrees there in central london. we will hold onto plenty of cloud through this evening and overnight, with some rain moving through. that rain just may pep up slightly as it does move through. yes, we are going to hold onto plenty of cloud, perhaps a few clear spells, across the far north and we will see a few mist and fog patches form as well. our temperatures tonight will dip to around 12 degrees, much milder than the nightjust gone. so through thursday we will start off on a mostly dry note, there will be some sunshine through the morning. but the cloud amounts will increase to the afternoon. still some uncertainty as to how far north of that rain will track from the south—west. you'll find more updates on our website including this. a sneak peak inside the all new battersea power station before it opens. that's it for now, i'm back in half an hour.

good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. the pound drops sharply after the bank of england warns it won't extend its emergency financial support package after friday. the bank's governor says he is doing

everything he can to maintain financial stability. i'll look at what this all means for the uk economy. we will be speaking to the business secretary jacob rees—mogg at around 7:30am. dame angela lansbury, best known for playing amateur detective in the tv series murder she wrote, has died at the age of 96. calls for all woman to be offered an nhs health check at the age of 45 so they can discuss the menopause with their doctor. heartbreakfor the home nations as both scotland and wales fail to qualify for the women's world cup. good morning. not as chilly as that for most of us this morning as it was bought yesterday with the exception of the south—east. we have cloud syncing south across england and wales behind the rain it will be brightening up.

it's wednesday 12th october. our main story. the value of the pound has fallen sharply after the bank of england confirmed it won't extend an emergency financial support package beyond this friday. the measures were launched nearly two weeks ago because of the turmoil prompted by the chancellor's mini—budget. our economics editor, faisal islam reports. the problems in uk financial markets are not solved. the bank of england has repeatedly stepped in to help the pensions industry since chancellor kwasi kwarteng's controversial mini budget. but the message from governor andrew bailey to the bbc is that while people and pensioners should be reassured, the support is going to end this weekend. we are doing everything to preserve financial stability and, you know, you have my assurance on that. i think there is an important task now for the funds to ensure that they are done. tough love for the pensions industry that had hoped for help until the uncertainty over

the government's economic plans had been settled. but that will not happen. while actual pensions are safe, there could be an impact in the markets, further pushing up borrowing costs across the economy. that will also ratchet up pressure on the government over its plan. the chancellor has just arrived here too for international monetary fund meetings. the meetings at the imf are mainly for the world's finance ministers and central bank governors to try and sort out the world economy. but the world's top bankers also meet and they're in that building right now. and everybody seems to have questions about what is going on with the british economy. and the answer the chancellor needs to give this week is one that gives confidence, because there are doubts that they can come up with a plan that is both economically credible and politically viable. governor, i can't tell you how many people over the last 2a hours have told me they're glad that you're in the chair. it's been hard work

for the governor. and certainly, here the world's top bankers are using the crisis word in relation to the uk. the chancellor will have to convince his plan will work and quickly. faisal islam, bbc news, at the imf in washington. a complicated picture this morning. ben is here to tell us more. what does this mean for all of us? you have an update on the pound and some new figures? yes. you have an update on the pound and some new figures?— some new figures? yes, we have had the new figures. _ some new figures? yes, we have had the new figures. warnings _ some new figures? yes, we have had the new figures. warnings about i some new figures? yes, we have had the new figures. warnings about the | the new figures. warnings about the state of the uk economy from the imf and so on. the latest figures out, and so on. the latest figures out, an estimate of how it performed in august, is that the economy shrank tjy august, is that the economy shrank by 0.3% in the month. that is after it grew by 0.1% injuly. why do we look at this growth figure? if the economy is growing, that means more jobs, that means more investment and

money going around. this fall of 0.3%, although it does not sound much, it gives us an indicator that things are going in the opposite direction, there is less money going around, fewerjobs, investment. that it makes it difficult for things like pay rises. we were talking about average wages yesterday, it all feeds into that picture, how well or how squeezed people feel as a result. that's the latest figure from the office for national statistics out in the last few minutes, excuse me reading it off my phone! minutes, excuse me reading it off my hone! ., , minutes, excuse me reading it off my hone! . , . ,, minutes, excuse me reading it off my hone! . , ., phone! that is looking back to au . ust. phone! that is looking back to august- we — phone! that is looking back to august. we have _ phone! that is looking back to august. we have had - phone! that is looking back to august. we have had a - phone! that is looking back to i august. we have had a statement on the bank of england overnight saying it is not going to pump any billions of pounds in support after friday. what has been the impact of that? in what has been the impact of that? i“i the immediate term, the impact is feeding through to our borrowing costs. what we are talking about here is, the bank have taken action because it's all that it was

beginning to cost the government more to borrow money. investors were charging higher interest because they had concerns about the government's financial plans, the tax cuts announced in the mini budget, and investors thought they did not get enough detail about how it would be ultimately paid for. as a result to lend the government money, they charge higher interest. that leads to the system to our borrowing costs, higher costs for loans and mortgages. the average two and five year fixed—rate mortgage went to above 6% for the first time a decade. just as recently as december last year it was around 2.5% for a mortgage. that is the immediate impact people are feeling. the other effect it has had is the volatility on the pound. you have been talking about the pound falling in value. investors have worries about a country's economy, so then the currency tends to full, if you go on holiday you get fewer dollars for your pound but also a man has four businesses. we import a lot

from abroad, whether that is finished products or materials to make products here. if you have got the uncertainty and the changing value of the pound, it makes it hard to price things, how much you are going to charge people for the things that you sell them. that leads into the picture we are seeing which is why the bank has stepped in to soothe worries, calm nerves and bring some stability and steadiness to the system. so bring some stability and steadiness to the system-— to the system. so the pound has recovered _ to the system. so the pound has recovered a _ to the system. so the pound has recovered a little? _ to the system. so the pound has recovered a little? in _ to the system. so the pound has recovered a little? in the - to the system. so the pound has recovered a little? in the last i to the system. so the pound has i recovered a little? in the last hour or two, recovered a little? in the last hour or two. yes. _ recovered a little? in the last hour or two, yes, there _ recovered a little? in the last hour or two, yes, there have _ recovered a little? in the last hour or two, yes, there have been i recovered a little? in the last hour. or two, yes, there have been reports that the governor of the bank of england has privately assured banks that if need be, they will continue this support. publicly the governor has said, friday, that is it, that is what we are doing, emergency measures. privately he has indicated they will see how market conditions fair, and make decisions accordingly. it fair, and make decisions accordinul . , . ., accordingly. it could be another tric few accordingly. it could be another tricky few days. _ accordingly. it could be another tricky few days. thank - accordingly. it could be another tricky few days. thank you - accordingly. it could be another tricky few days. thank you very| accordingly. it could be another - tricky few days. thank you very much indeed.

rallying a nation of television viewers into hysteria to sweep us up into the white house with powers that will make martial law seem like anarchy. in her 60s, she reinvented herself as a television actress. above all, as the genteel detective jessica fletcher detective jessica fletcher in murder, she wrote. last night, the police arrested him for killing hemsley post. shee produced the shows as well as starring in them and became, they said, the richest woman in hollywood at the time with an estimated fortune of $70 million. herfilms for children showed her gift for comedy. 0h, bother! i do hate shoddy work. there was bedknobs and broomsticks, and later, nanny mcphee. i smell damp. no, no, at least not noticeably. my mother was a medium before me. at the age of nearly 90, she was starring in noel coward's blithe spirit in the west end. i had my first trance when i was four and a half, and my first...

and was thrilled to be made a dame. it's a lovely thing to be recognised and given that nod of approval by your own country, and i really cherish it. a character actress as comfortable on stage as she was on screen. over many decades, angela lansbury was one of britain's most versatile and successful performers. same angela lansbury. what a life, but a catalogue _ same angela lansbury. what a life, but a catalogue of _ same angela lansbury. what a life, but a catalogue of work. _ same angela lansbury. what a life, but a catalogue of work. murder, i same angela lansbury. what a life, i but a catalogue of work. murder, she wrote, automating _ but a catalogue of work. murder, she wrote, automating television. - but a catalogue of work. murder, she wrote, automating television. and i wrote, automating television. and kids will wrote, automating television. jifuc kids will remember her wrote, automating television. a"uc kids will remember her from all of the disney films. women should be invited for a menopause checkup when they turn a5. that's according to a new report from a group of cross—party mps. it follows a year—long inquiry which found many women face

long waits to see a gp or were offered antidepressants, against guidelines. women will be on their knees, so they have got to the point where they have got to the point where they have got to the point where they have sort of put up with symptoms because they don't want to disturb the doctor. i have had some women who genuinely come and see me and say, i thought i had had dementia. women who have urinary tract infections which could be the first sign they have got genitourinary symptoms of the menopause which is so little known about. women will have anxiety, panic attacks, mental health symptoms, lack of libido which can impact relationships. so we don't want people to wait until the symptoms get really bad want people to wait until the symptoms get really had before they come to us. leaders of the g7 industrialised nations have pledged to continue to provide ukraine with military and financial support for as long as it takes. it comes after president zelensky called for further help, following an escalation of russian missile attacks.

we can speak now to our correspondent, hugo bachega, who joins us from ukraine's capital, kyiv. you are back outside, you go, no sirens this morning. and i imagine relief in ukraine from the pledges from the g7. relief in ukraine from the pledges from the 67-— from the g7. yes, i think this is something _ from the g7. yes, i think this is something the _ from the g7. yes, i think this is something the president - from the g7. yes, i think this is something the president here l from the g7. yes, i think this is i something the president here has been asking for some time. he made that clear yesterday when he addressed that summit of g7 leaders. he asked for more defence capabilities, he said, this is the kind of technology and equipment that ukrainians need to defend this country from the threat of russian missiles. i think this is something which is going to be discussed later on today, during a meeting of nato defence ministers, in brussels. i willjust defence ministers, in brussels. i will just give you defence ministers, in brussels. i willjust give you an update on something different this morning, we are getting reports from russia that the russian security service, the

fsb, have detained five russians, three citizens of ukraine and armenia, in connection with an explosion on the crimea bridge that happened on saturday. this expression which triggered the russian response on monday, multiple attacks across the country. russia says this explosion was triggered by a lorry on the road bridge in crimea, and they state that the ukrainian intelligence services were behind this explosion, give even though the ukrainians have not acknowledged any involvement with that explosion. this news isjust coming in and we will be following that today. we coming in and we will be following that toda . ~ . ., coming in and we will be following that toda . ~ .., . ~ ., coming in and we will be following thattoda . ~ ., that today. we will come back to you when moore — that today. we will come back to you when moore emerges, _ that today. we will come back to you when moore emerges, thank- that today. we will come back to you when moore emerges, thank you. i the coronation of king charles iii will take place at westminster abbey on saturday the 6th of may next year. the queen consort will also be crowned at the ceremony, which will be led by the archbishop of canterbury. our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, reports. our royal correspondent sarah campbell is outside buckingham palace this morning. sarah, the world has dramatically changed since the last coronation,

what can we expect from the ceremony this time round? good morning. you are right, the last coronation was back in 1953, not long after the end of the second world war. it was seen as a morale boost that the population needed, part of the rebuilding of britain led by the pneumonic. we are in a very different situation, a different economic situation. i think there will be sensitivities about that. —— led by the new monarch. if people are suffering after a bad winter, will they want to see the monarch riding around in a cold coach? —— gold coach? this ceremony has been going on for more than 900 years, with all of the crown jewels and a ceremony in the military involved. those say that the king is already a king, why do

we need a coronation in the first place, some say? so the mood music from the palace is this will be a small ceremony, not the 8000 people in westminster abbey as there were in westminster abbey as there were in 1953. shorter, nota in westminster abbey as there were in 1953. shorter, not a three—hour ceremony is 1953. and more diverse. the king has already talked about his intervention to celebrate the different communities and fates of the united kingdom, sol different communities and fates of the united kingdom, so i think we will see a multi—faith element even though the ceremony will remain anglican. we don't know if there will be a bank holiday because the coronation is on a saturday, and will there be a huge procession through the streets of london as there was in 1953? we know the dates but there are many more details which will be released between now and the 6th of may next year. we will wait to hear them, thank you. we've got a remarkable picture

today than it was a day, the exception in the south—east where temperatures fell to freezing. we have got some cloud and rain across scotland, continuing to edge out of northern ireland. moving across western parts of england and also wales. one or two showers ahead of it but largely speaking as we push down towards the south and east, it is dry. as we go through the day, this weather front producing the cloud and rain sinks south, weakening all of the time, turning patchy and fragmenting. it will not get into the south—east until after dark. hide it it will brighten up, a breezy day but gusty winds across the north west, notjust today but tonight. the weather front is a weak teacher but then it picks up and the rain turns heavier under clear skies

behind. it will be a cold night for most of us with the exception of the south—east where it will be milder. patchy mist and fog clearing readily and the rain clears the far south, then we have got uncertainty in the forecast as to how far north or south this band of rain is going to go. rain moving across northern ireland and scotland, but in between something drier and brighter. sounds good as we head towards the weekend, thank you. councils need to act to improve the quality and standard of properties in the private rental sector. that's according to the chair of the housing select committee. it comes after an investigation by the bbc found councils in england are often failing to use their powers to ensure privately rented homes are safe. jim connolly has been to meet some of the people affected. this room here, my kitchen's above it, and that is a fire hazard. paul lives in a flat in blackpool that he worries could seriously injure him or even worse.

that scares me. i think that floor could go at any time. in cases like paul's, people should contact their landlord or letting agent. if that doesn't work, they can report it to their local authority who have a legal duty to act. the council came and said, "oh, it's a fire hazard." well, why can't they do something about it? did the council give you any advice? they said "what you want to do, you want to get out of here." blackpool council said they inspected paul's house and sent a schedule of works to his letting agent. as this wasn't acted upon, since we've filmed, they've now issued an improvement notice. the agent, acting on behalf of paul's landlord, disputed concerns over the property being a collapse risk and said the floor remains solid. they said they're now getting quotes to do necessary work. paul's not alone, though. we've seen examples across the country of people's homes that have issues that could seriously injure or even kill them, what are known as category one hazards. councils have a range of powers to protect tenants in the private rental sector, but our exclusive data from local authorities in england raises serious questions about how often that action is taken.

since 2017, more than 130,000 hazards were recorded, and around 25,000 actions. when it comes to prosecuting landlords, well, that happened in less than 1% of cases when hazards were recorded. the chair of an influential group of mps says our findings are very worrying. we need to make tenants more certain yhey can safely complain and then we need to make tenants more certain they can safely complain and then we need local authorities to go in and really deal with those bad landlords, prosecute to make sure tenants are safe and secure in their homes. kieren, elle and her daughter alexa lee know only too well the consequences of living in a home with a danger. ijust heard a bang, and when i turned around, the fireplace was on the floor. a fireplace in their liverpool home fell on alexa lee, leaving her with life—changing injuries. i instantly knew something was wrong and shouted, "i think she's dead." it was six skull fractures, an orbital eye socket fracture, a fractured wrist. kieran says he told his landlord about the fireplace but no action was taken.

he didn't raise it with his council. i didn't know we could report a private landlord to the council. what would you want to see happen? i want private landlords to listen to how bad it can get. if you've got a dangerous property and things are being complained about, please fix them. the family's former landlord denies being made aware of the issues with the fireplace. the housing charity shelter want the whole private rental sector to be reformed. well over a million private rented homes and not meeting the required standard. and there isn't enough resource to enforce proper standards. so yes, the whole system is a car crash. the government says it's cracking down on the small number of rogue landlords who rent out unsafe accommodation. it says it's giving councils strong powers to require them to make repairs or issue fines. but that will be little comfort for people like paul, trapped in properties they'll never be able to call home. who are you most angry with in this process then?

myself, for moving in here. jim connelly, bbc news, blackpool. we'rejoined now by ben beadle, chief executive of the national residential landlords association and housing campaigner kwajo tweneboa. ifi if i could come to you first, kwajo, your reaction to the report that you have just played in the circumstances of people are having to live in at the moment? i circumstances of people are having to live in at the moment?— circumstances of people are having to live in at the moment? i mean, it is shocking- — to live in at the moment? i mean, it is shocking- i _ to live in at the moment? i mean, it is shocking. i think _ to live in at the moment? i mean, it is shocking. i think everyone - to live in at the moment? i mean, it is shocking. i think everyone can - is shocking. i think everyone can agree that. i am absolutely not surprised whatsoever. from my experience i have mainly focused on social housing but i have learned it is much worse in the private sector. there is a lack of regulation there and people's health and safety is being put at risk. we saw it in that video, tenants in complete despair and worried for their health and

safety, and their voices are not listened to. these tenants do complain about these situations, as anyone would, but they are ignored are not taken seriously. this has been going on for years and getting progressively worse. what progressively worse. what obligations _ progressively worse. what obligations do _ progressively worse. what obligations do landlords i progressively worse. what i obligations do landlords have progressively worse. what obligations do landlords have to tenants, and what obligations do tenants, and what obligations do tenants have to talk to their landlords about their living circumstances?— landlords about their living circumstances? . ., ,, ., , circumstances? landlords should be ensufinu circumstances? landlords should be ensuring that _ circumstances? landlords should be ensuring that they _ circumstances? landlords should be ensuring that they do _ circumstances? landlords should be ensuring that they do the _ circumstances? landlords should be ensuring that they do the bare - ensuring that they do the bare minimum in making sure they can provide a decent and safe home. what we see for many thousands in that is not the case. the private sector is almost like the wild look west and landlords can get away with doing it, i have seen it time and time again. i have had private tenants reach out and complete despair because they have tried to exhaust every other complaint procedure and get nowhere with it. what's more worrying about the private sector and tenants as they feel like they cannot complain too much, because if they do, they willjust be evicted as a result, if the landlord turns

around and says, it is too expensive or the tenant is complaining, we willjust move them out and get someone else in that will not complain. that is the sadness about this, tenants feel like this and they say time and time again, they don't have a voice or any bargaining power. they are simply left to suffer in silence. let power. they are simply left to suffer in silence.— power. they are simply left to suffer in silence. let me turn to ben. i suffer in silence. let me turn to ben- i am _ suffer in silence. let me turn to ben. i am sure _ suffer in silence. let me turn to ben. i am sure you _ suffer in silence. let me turn to ben. i am sure you are - suffer in silence. let me turn to ben. i am sure you are going i suffer in silence. let me turn to ben. i am sure you are going toj suffer in silence. let me turn to - ben. i am sure you are going to tell us there are very good landlords out there, but clearly from what we are hearing from all sides, that isn't always the case.— hearing from all sides, that isn't always the case. no, it's not, and kwa'o is always the case. no, it's not, and kwajo is right _ always the case. no, it's not, and kwajo is right to _ always the case. no, it's not, and kwajo is right to call— always the case. no, it's not, and kwajo is right to call this - always the case. no, it's not, and kwajo is right to call this out. - kwajo is right to call this out. what — kwajo is right to call this out. what we _ kwajo is right to call this out. what we see in those pictures are unacceptable to me, they are unacceptable to me, they are unacceptable to me, they are unacceptable to my association and unacceptable to my association and unacceptable to my association and unacceptable to the vast majority of landlords _ unacceptable to the vast majority of landlords that do a really good job. i think_ landlords that do a really good job. i think i_ landlords that do a really good job. i think i would take issue with the character— i think i would take issue with the character i — i think i would take issue with the character i characterisation of the wild west. — character i characterisation of the wild west, i don't get is but we could _ wild west, idon't get is but we could do— wild west, i don't get is but we could do with a few more sheriffs. we have _ could do with a few more sheriffs. we have 170 pieces of housing regulation, good regulation can be enforced, — regulation, good regulation can be enforced, and local authorities have had budgets cut and we do not have

that is another important factor to try and get some support on their side and build a case, they can take legal action but tenants are worried because a section 21 especially that they will be evicted as a result. then, we are talking this morning again about all of the insurgency in the economy, landlords are affected —— about the uncertainty in the economy, landlords are affected and they will have increased gusts. do you think that landlords will be less willing and able to do the repair that people call for? it will certainly cause _ repair that people call for? it will certainly cause upward _ repair that people call for? it will certainly cause upward pressure. j certainly cause upward pressure. white _ certainly cause upward pressure. white goods and carpets and all things— white goods and carpets and all things that are up over 10%. the main _ things that are up over 10%. the main issue — things that are up over 10%. the main issue from our perspective is a taxation— main issue from our perspective is a taxation element in the sector, landlords— taxation element in the sector, landlords are taxed on their profits, _ landlords are taxed on their profits, it is a legacy from george osborne — profits, it is a legacy from george osborne. that came into full effect last year— osborne. that came into full effect last year and it is coming home to bite _ last year and it is coming home to bite we _ last year and it is coming home to bite. we need to be a package of nreasures— bite. we need to be a package of measures to help the sector get through— measures to help the sector get through this affordability crisis. there _ through this affordability crisis. there will be people, i saw one of

them on the screen there who will be groaning, listening to that. they are thinking in terms of, it is partly a caricature but there are a lot of very wealthy landlords out there who have had it good for a long time and they have got multiple properties and are making a fortune. 91t% properties and are making a fortune. 94% of properties in this country are owned — 94% of properties in this country are owned by individuals, typically half have — are owned by individuals, typically half have one or two. the average net profit — half have one or two. the average net profit by property is four point £5,000 _ net profit by property is four point £5,000 so— net profit by property is four point £5,000 so i would push back on that characterisation of £1000, i would push _ characterisation of £1000, i would push back— characterisation of £1000, i would push back on that characterisation. a finat— push back on that characterisation. a final thought from you, kwajo? it willjust be safe to say that with will just be safe to say that with the cost of living crisis and fuel bills going up, it is going to affect everyone. we are seeing the progression of the housing crisis, notjust progression of the housing crisis, not just affecting working progression of the housing crisis, notjust affecting working class individuals in her social housing, but bad private housing, but this is impacting mortgage now with interest rates. no doubt with that up and

going the cost of living crisis and the energy crisis, it is going to affect landlords. we don't want to see that then falling back into tenants in an increase in rent, because landlords need to cover their mortgage costs. we need support for tenants as well because ultimately, this crisis will fall back on them and they will end up evicted and they cannot get to social housing because we have seen a state of it and there are 1 million people waiting to get into social housing and it is. the government need to do something fast to provide support across the board. thank you very much indeed, guys, kwajo and then. we will keep an eye on it and keep you updated. in a statement the government said it was "committed to exploring policies that build the homes people need, deliver newjobs, support economic development and boost local economies." we will speak to jacob rees—mogg in a moment and get some clarity on what is happening in the economy, lots of numbers at this money, lots of people have some concerns. —— out

this morning. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london with me, alison earle. the new metropolitan police commissioner will appear before the london assembly's police and crime committee this morning to answer questions about his plans for the force. sir mark rowley said he wants to restore the public�*s trust in policing after a series of scandals within the met. he's also promised to root out corrupt, racist and homophobic staff. some of the capital's food banks have given out more meals this year than in the whole of last year. greenwich foodbank says it expects to deliver over 100,000 meals by next week. it's also handing out more than it receives in donations, meaning it has to pay £6,000 a month to make up the shortfall. depending on giving, we will be able to sustain that, hopefully, through the winter. but that's if prices

of food don't go up. that's if levels of food bank use don't go up, and we predict that they will. there has never been a better time to support your local food bank. a charity in south london which aims to improve life skills through horses is giving young people the chance to try stunt riding. ebony horse club in brixton has teamed up with the devil's horsemen who've worked on productions like game of thrones and the crown. it's part of a scheme to show the range ofjobs in the equestrian sector. it's not just always aboutjockeying, showjumping, dressage, there is also in the film industry, there is horses involved in that as well. so, yeah, i was really shocked. never would i thought i'd be, you know, doing stunting with a horse or stuff like that but it's really cool. travel now. and this is how tfl services are looking. a good service on all tube lines.

now the weather with katerina. good morning to you. a mostly dry start with a chance of the odd isolated shower through the course of this afternoon. more cloud around as compared with yesterday. this cold front will track south eastwards, not reaching us this evening and overnight and as it does move through it may pep up slightly. any mist and fog this morning will clear. cloud will increase from the west but through the day, the cloud will break occasionally to allow sunny spells. the odd isolated shower today, light to moderate breeze and highs of around 18. we will held onto plenty of cloud through this evening and overnight. some rain moving through. the rain may pep up slightly as it moves through. we are going to held onto plenty of cloud, clear spells across the far north, and a few mist and fog patches forming. temperatures tonight will dip to 12. much milder

than the nightjust gone. thursday, a mostly dry note. some sunshine through the morning but cloud amounts will increase through the afternoon. some uncertainty as to how far north of the rain will track from the south—west. you'll find more updates on our website and social media including this. a sneak peek inside the all—new battersea power station before it opens. that's it for now. i'm back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. just withjon kay and sally nugent. after 7:30. john is i sport just after 7:30. john is here with a sport this morning. after what was a really busy night of world cup qualification we had wales going for theirfirst major qualification we had wales going for their first major tournament, scotland and the mix, as well, but the republic of ireland have actually qualified at the expense of scotland. barrett scoring one of the biggest girls in women's football in their history, said it was a really big night but ultimately

disappointment for wales and scotland last night. their hopes are over losing 1—0 to the republic of ireland. they are the ones celebrating as they reach the first major tournament. just one goal which split the two sides last night. barrett racing clear to score with less than 15 minutes remaining. a brilliantly taken goal. a really emotional tribute afterwards to those who lost their lives in the explosion in ireland which killed ten people as they had now to the world cup in 2023. disappointment for wales who are hoping to qualify for wales who are hoping to qualify for the first major tournament. roberts gave them the lead. they still needed other results to go their way to qualify outright but it was a swiss equaliserjust before half—time and they also had two goals disallowed and a goal in the last seconds of extra time here which really ended welsh hopes. england's 15 match winning run came to an end as they drew 0—0 in a friendly with the czech republic. the lioness is have already qualified for the world cup with a

game to spare so not too much riding on this one in brighton but the match was an important landmark for lucy bronze who won her 100th cap. champions league is well last night. man city qualifying without scoring a goal. chelsea on their way but celtic unfortunately are out. it's all change for the thank you very much indeed. let's return to our main story now — the financial turmoil following the chancellor's mini budget continues, with the bank of england insisting it won't extend an emergency support package to help some pension funds. we can speak now to the secretary of state for business, energy and industrial strategy, jacob rees—mogg, whojoins us now from westminster. good morning to you. let's start with a pound. it fell again yesterday after the governor of the bank of england announced the pension industry won't be receiving any further help and be on friday. are you concerned about how fragile

sterling has been since the chancellor is a mini budget? the dollar has chancellor is a mini budget? i"i;e: dollar has been strong chancellor is a mini budget? i"i9 dollar has been strong against all global currencies. as interest rates in the us have risen faster than they have in other parts of the world. and that's what you would expect. the dollar assets are deemed by global investors to be the lowest risk category of investment and if interest rates in the lowest risk category of investment are higher than in deemed higher risk assets and of course money flows into the dollar and that's been happening now for some time because of the actions of the federal reserve and its effect in the euro was one of the pound. effect in the euro was one of the -ound. :, : :, :, : pound. how much of an affected you think the chancellor's _ pound. how much of an affected you think the chancellor's mini budget i think the chancellor's mini budget had? i think the chancellor's mini budget had? ~ think the chancellor's mini budget had? ., �* think the chancellor's mini budget had? ,, �* :, , :, had? i think the mini budget was not the most important _ had? i think the mini budget was not the most important factor _ had? i think the mini budget was not the most important factor within - the most important factor within this. i think the interest rate differential is a more fundamental point because that is more clearly an investment point and that the scale of the mini budget can get overblown as a percentage of gdp is

not enormous, and the 45p rate was particularly small which seem to be the focus of reporting, but economically, was by no means the biggest part of the statement, let alone of what is going in on in the in the economy overall.— alone of what is going in on in the in the economy overall. would you admit the markets _ in the economy overall. would you admit the markets were _ in the economy overall. would you admit the markets were spooked l in the economy overall. would you | admit the markets were spooked by the uncertainty about how that budget will be paid for? the amounts involved as a — budget will be paid for? the amounts involved as a percentage _ budget will be paid for? the amounts involved as a percentage of _ budget will be paid for? the amounts involved as a percentage of gdp - budget will be paid for? the amounts involved as a percentage of gdp are l involved as a percentage of gdp are not that enormous. you are talking about a few percent in the total of it. ithink about a few percent in the total of it. i think you're talking about a0 billion, about 2% of the uk economy. this isn't a fundamental change in fiscal policy or outlook and markets are very sophisticated. but fiscal policy or outlook and markets are very sophisticated.— are very sophisticated. but it's about confidence, _ are very sophisticated. but it's about confidence, isn't - are very sophisticated. but it's about confidence, isn't it? - about confidence, isn't it? confidence and decision—making which appears from the perspective of the market to be lacking? i appears from the perspective of the market to be lacking?— market to be lacking? i think it's about interest _ market to be lacking? i think it's about interest rate _

market to be lacking? i think it's about interest rate differentialsl market to be lacking? i think it's. about interest rate differentials in monetary policy and i think the federal reserve increase federal rates faster than anybody else has sucked money into the usa. and that always happens when the us moves ahead of the rest of the world with interest rates and it happened it will look back to the 1980s when sterling was last at these levels. it happened in 199a when money flooded out of emerging markets, when us interest rates rose. this is something that simply happens when the federal reserve increases interest rates. it the federal reserve increases interest rates.— the federal reserve increases interest rates. , , :, ,, , interest rates. it seems the markets are beinl interest rates. it seems the markets are being reassured _ interest rates. it seems the markets are being reassured at _ interest rates. it seems the markets are being reassured at the _ interest rates. it seems the markets are being reassured at the momentl interest rates. it seems the markets i are being reassured at the moment by the bank of england rather than the government so that's not a good sign for government? you government so that's not a good sign for government?— government so that's not a good sign for government? you would expect the bank of for government? you would expect the ltank of england _ for government? you would expect the bank of england to _ for government? you would expect the bank of england to act _ for government? you would expect the bank of england to act in _ for government? you would expect the bank of england to act in areas - bank of england to act in areas where it is independent and intervening in markets are something the bank of england does independently and its interest rates are set independently and that's proper and one of the important factors of confidence in the uk economy is the independence of the bank of england. for economy is the independence of the

bank of england.— economy is the independence of the bank of england. for people watching us this morning. _ bank of england. for people watching us this morning, pensions _ bank of england. for people watching us this morning, pensions falling, - us this morning, pensions falling, mortgage products being suspended, day by day come interest rates rising, i mentioned the word confidence, how can you inspire confidence, how can you inspire confidence in people trying to pay their bills, apply for a mortgage, one showing their pensions drop? i’m one showing their pensions drop? i'm not one showing their pensions drop? i�*"n not pretending we are in an easy circumstance also dealing with inflation is one of the hardest things central banks and governments have to do. the tightening of monetary policy the bank of england has embarked on leads to higher mortgage rates. that is a decision quite rightly taken permanently by the bank of england but it's hard to see it had any choice against the background of rising inflation. as regards pension funds, there does seem to be a problem with some pension funds having invested in a low probability product and that has affected some of them. with the valuations, the valuations of bonds, there is the interesting question of whether you should value them on the

basis they are going to be held to maturity because a lot of pension funds that are matching assets and liabilities will in fact be holding assets to maturity rather than trading them.— trading them. ok, let's talk a little bit about _ trading them. ok, let's talk a little bit about the _ trading them. ok, let's talk a little bit about the figures - trading them. ok, let's talk a little bit about the figures we | trading them. ok, let's talk a - little bit about the figures we had this morning. this morning we had the uk economy unexpectedly shrank by 0.3% in august. would you then, how do you feel about the potential of the bank of england extending their support beyond friday? first of all, the their support beyond friday? first of all. the ons — their support beyond friday? i “st of all, the ons recently updated earlier figures to show the economy had grown rather than shrunk, so figures on the day they are announced have not to be relied upon. they are highly subject to change. but if they can be relied on, clearly it was right on the chance to provide modest stimulus to make sure we don't have a shrinking economy, this ties in what the chancellor was doing and moving away from the highest tax rate in 70

years, moving away from the risk outlined by the government of five quarters of recession, i think to use the word armageddon, moving away from that is something the government has to try and work on. we couldn't simply have sat back and allowed economic circumstances to deteriorate. allowed economic circumstances to deteriorate-— deteriorate. you might not want to rel on deteriorate. you might not want to rely on that — deteriorate. you might not want to rely on that number, _ deteriorate. you might not want to rely on that number, not _ deteriorate. you might not want to rely on that number, not .3%, - deteriorate. you might not want to rely on that number, not .3%, but| rely on that number, not .3%, but would you suggest maybe the direction of travel is not good and does it make a recession more likely coming next year? i’m does it make a recession more likely coming next year?— coming next year? i'm trying to contextualise _ coming next year? i'm trying to contextualise the _ coming next year? i'm trying to contextualise the number- coming next year? i'm trying to contextualise the number and i coming next year? i'm trying to - contextualise the number and remind people that these numbers are very often advised and yesterday, the imf, which isn't always sympathetic to the government, said the uk economy would grow next year. i'm suspicious of forecasters as i am of the latest release of figures which are subject to review. nonetheless, some people are becoming more optimistic about the uk economy and this busy ties in with what the chancellor did to help ensure we are restored to growth and growth is everything. because if you can get

2.5% growth, then you can pay for the intervention is being made easily and then you have the money to pay for public services you need and you ensure that the debt to gdp falls, said the government is absolutely right to have a strategy focused on economic growth. iestate absolutely right to have a strategy focused on economic growth. we have a date for the — focused on economic growth. we have a date for the kings _ focused on economic growth. we have a date for the kings coronation - a date for the kings coronation coming up next year, on a saturday, would you support the idea of a bank holiday to mark the event? i would you support the idea of a bank holiday to mark the event?— holiday to mark the event? i think havinl a holiday to mark the event? i think having a bank— holiday to mark the event? i think having a bank holiday _ holiday to mark the event? i think having a bank holiday for - holiday to mark the event? i think having a bank holiday for a - having a bank holiday for a coronation seems to me to be an eminently suitable thing to do that there is a process that has to be gone through and it has to be approved ultimately by the privy council. when i was lord president of the council we had to approve bank holidays even when christmas day fell on a saturday, to move it to the monday, so bank holidays go through a splendid historic process which i suppose it's only appropriate for a splendid historic occasion like the coronation. jacob

lined with gold, edged with ermine, embroidered all over with gold. and she wears, as we see her now, the imperial state crown. in her hands, the sceptre and the rod. the sign that in her hands, justice and mercy are never to be separated. 1953. providing the commentary there was the late richard dimbleby. his son, the broadcaster jonathan dimblebyjoins us now. good morning to you. lovely to see those pictures and hear your father's commentary. it must be lovely for you too?— father's commentary. it must be lovely for you too? yes, it always sends a tingle — lovely for you too? yes, it always sends a tingle down _ lovely for you too? yes, it always sends a tingle down my - lovely for you too? yes, it always sends a tingle down my spine - lovely for you too? yes, it always sends a tingle down my spine to l lovely for you too? yes, it always - sends a tingle down my spine to hear it partly for the event and partly because it was my father's voice and it was such an important event in television's history, because when the coronation was shown of course

it was only shown in this country live but it was at the same time, airports, taken across to the united states and canada to be shown there, as well. there were 3 million people i think lining what was a five mile route to the abbey and inside, 8000 people, i mean, it is so different to how i hope and expect it will be. there were 8000 people all dressed in their robes, peers, people from all over the world, a huge scale, huge procession, and at the heart of it of course, which will remain, an important religious celebration and ceremony and a great national occasion. , :, :, :, , :, ceremony and a great national occasion-— ceremony and a great national occasion. , :, :, :, :, , occasion. jonathan, you were only eilht or occasion. jonathan, you were only eight or nine _ occasion. jonathan, you were only eight or nine or _ occasion. jonathan, you were only eight or nine or something? - occasion. jonathan, you were only. eight or nine or something? you've lot me eight or nine or something? you've got me right- _ eight or nine or something? you've got me right- i— eight or nine or something? you've got me right. i was _ eight or nine or something? you've got me right. i was nine _ eight or nine or something? you've got me right. i was nine years - eight or nine or something? you've got me right. i was nine years old. | got me right. i was nine years old. and i was at home and i was very reluctant to watch it. we had a small screen, black and white of course, my father says what the

colours are because it was black and white and you had to describe a much greater detail what is now obvious in colour television. i was hauled in colour television. i was hauled in and i do remember seeing the gold coach and i remember the moment of the crowning itself and the long train of the queen as she walked up through the abbey and it was... you hold it in your mind but as a nine—year—old it did not mean a great deal to me. not as much as it meant to my father to whom it meant it very great deal as it did to those millions who watched it and for television, those millions who watched it and fortelevision, because those millions who watched it and for television, because television was made through the coronation. before that, it was treated as a lightweight a relevant piece of fluff media but it became a major means of communication at a technology improved, everything changed, and it became the principal means of communication. i remember means of communication. i remember m mum means of communication. i remember my mum was — means of communication. i remember my mum was about — means of communication. i remember my mum was about ten _ means of communication. i remember my mum was about ten years - means of communication. i remember my mum was about ten years old, - my mum was about ten years old, about the same age as you and i remember her saying it was the first

time she saw a television, on that day, she looked at the screen to a neighbours window and it was a first for so many across britain. there are numbers _ for so many across britain. there are numbers of _ for so many across britain. there are numbers of pictures - for so many across britain. there are numbers of pictures of- for so many across britain. there i are numbers of pictures of people, so 1950s, we have to remember, you are touching on it earlier, this was austerity, real austerity after the war, still rationing. and this was a massive colourful pageant spectacle and people crowded around their television sets to catch a glimpse of the new young queen who had hardly been seen before because television, there had been partial television, there had been partial television of king george vi's coronation, but nothing like the scale. there was a great conflict over whether or not it should be televised at all. the prime minister so winston churchill was deeply opposed and would interfere with the solemnity of the occasion, the light should not be thrown in upon the mystery of the coronation, and it

was buckingham palace, sensibly the queen, who then said no, this is an occasion which must be national, as many people, as many of my people, my subject here, and in the realms should see this event. the solemnity of the fact i am now queen. i think that's quite an important fact which can be easily overlooked. it's a religious ceremony, king charles ii! is a defender of the faith, and he swears the coronation oath to uphold the law. to rule with justice. swears the coronation oath to uphold the law. to rule withjustice. and to support the church of england of which he is supreme governor which is, of course, to chiller. he doesn't have real power. he can summer bishops and archbishops to see him but he doesn't tell them what to do and i don't think the archbishop of canterbury was expecting him to say, i think you

want to have this in future and this is how you should conduct yourself in future, that doesn't happen at all, but it's an important commitment. king charles is very, very serious about humble duty. as prince of wales, for all those years, half century, he spent his time tirelessly working with communities, working in rural areas, in inner cities, working on the environment and agriculture and on climate change. long before people were engaged. those things all matter to him. were engaged. those things all matterto him. i were engaged. those things all matter to him. i suspect the coronation, some of these things will be reflected. it will be disappointing if there were not those who had been involved in some of those important areas in his life, and not even that, were not present. it would be much more ethnically diverse i suspect, not perhaps as maybe he would like,

because the institutional positions that have to be represented there are very numerous and they tend to be still largely white, not ethnic minority. he when i think, one more thing if i may, he will very much, and i'm sure the coronation will it reflect the fact of what is said to be 30 years ago for the first time, the defender of the faith, that is to say supporting and believing in the value is equal value of all religions, even though he has a devout christian faith. so they will be represented. in this country, as in elsewhere, faith is extremely important to many, many communities. he will also make it clear, as the queen did in 2012 at lambeth palace, that she defends those of no faith, as well. there will be those who are republican and think what is this all about? republican and think what is this allabout? but republican and think what is this all about? but there will also be those recognising, the great majority, who will recognise this as

a national occasion, he's the king, there is no likelihood of us having a republic very soon, let us mark the occasion in a way which is both solemn, spectacular but managed to square the circle by not being too expensive either. it's quite a challenge by think it could be something to look forward to. thea;r something to look forward to. they are talkinl something to look forward to. they are talking about _ something to look forward to. they are talking about a _ something to look forward to. they are talking about a slimmed down, simpler, shorter ceremony and will get more details as the weeks and months go on. jonathan, i'm sorry we have to leave it there but we will chat again i'm sure before the 6th of may next year. thank you. i went on and on — of may next year. thank you. i went on and on about _ of may next year. thank you. i went on and on about it, _ of may next year. thank you. i went on and on about it, i _ of may next year. thank you. i went on and on about it, i know. - of may next year. thank you. i went on and on about it, i know. it - of may next year. thank you. i went on and on about it, i know. it is - of may next year. thank you. i went on and on about it, i know. it is in l on and on about it, i know. it is in the blood- — on and on about it, i know. it is in the blood. thank— on and on about it, i know. it is in the blood. thank you _ on and on about it, i know. it is in the blood. thank you very - on and on about it, i know. it is in the blood. thank you very much i the blood. thank you very much indeed. he is allowed. we will let him go on and on, absolutely. when tom felton was just 12 years old he landed a role in what was to become one of the biggest movie franchises of the 21st century, harry potter. for the next decade, he played slytherin schoolboy, draco malfoy. we are going to speak to him injust

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. the pound drops sharply after the bank of england warns it won't extend its emergency financial support package after friday. the bank's intervention will come to an end as figures show that the uk economy shrank unexpectedly by 0.3% in august. dame angela lansbury, best known for playing amateur detective in the tv series murder she wrote, has

died at the age of 96. he's been entertaining us for almost 60 years, but sir david jason still tries to claim that he's not a national treasure. i'm a leg—end that keeps either side of the television still working occasionally! heartbreakfor the home nations as both scotland and wales fail to qualify for the women's world cup. it isa it is a cold start to the day across the south—east but a milder start than of late elsewhere because we have got cloud and some rain moving in scotland and northern into england and wales preceded by a few showers and behind it brightening up. all of the details later in the programme. it's wednesday 12th october. our main story. the value of the pound initially fell sharply after the bank of england confirmed it won't extend

an emergency financial support package beyond this friday. the measures were launched nearly two weeks ago because of the turmoil prompted by the chancellor's mini budget. it comes as latest figures show the uk economy unexpectedly shrank in august falling by 0.3%. our economics editor, faisal islam reports. the problems in uk financial markets are not solved. the bank of england has repeatedly stepped in to help the pensions industry since chancellor kwasi kwarteng's controversial mini budget. but the message from governor andrew bailey to the bbc is that while people and pensioners should be reassured, the support is going to end this weekend. we are doing everything to preserve financial stability and, you know, you have my assurance on that. i think there is an important task now for the funds to ensure that they are done.

tough love for the pensions industry that had hoped for help until the uncertainty over the government's economic plans had been settled. but that will not happen. while actual pensions are safe, there could be an impact in the markets, further pushing up borrowing costs across the economy. that will also ratchet up pressure on the government over its plan. the chancellor has just arrived here too for international monetary fund meetings. the meetings at the imf are mainly for the world's finance ministers and central bank governors to try and sort out the world economy. but the world's top bankers also meet and they're in that building right now. and everybody seems to have questions about what is going on with the british economy. and the answer the chancellor needs to give this week is one that gives confidence, because there are doubts that they can come up with a plan that is both economically credible and politically viable. governor, i can't tell you how many

people over the last 2a hours have told me they're glad that you're in the chair. it's been hard work for the governor. and certainly, here the world's top bankers are using the crisis word in relation to the uk. the chancellor will have to convince his plan will work and quickly. faisal islam, bbc news, at the imf in washington. a complex picture this morning, ben, things are working very quickly and moving? things are working very quickly and movin: ? , ., things are working very quickly and movin: ? , . ., , , moving? yes, we have had the gdp fiaure in moving? yes, we have had the gdp figure in august. — moving? yes, we have had the gdp figure in august, we _ moving? yes, we have had the gdp figure in august, we look _ moving? yes, we have had the gdp figure in august, we look for - figure in august, we look for growth, which means more activity in the economy, more things made and sold and more investment. but unfortunately the economy shrank 0.3% in august according to the office of national statistics. in everyday life that might mean it is

harder to find a job, your employer might not give you a pay rise. in particular in august the ons noted there had been a fall in manufacturing. it also said that consumer facing services struggled with retail, hairdressers and hotels all faring relatively poorly. that reflects what we talk about a lot on the programme, the cost of living squeeze. people have less money to spend on extra things that are nice but not essential, they will spend less in the shops, they may not go away in a hotel, they might cut back on trips to the salon. that is all reflected in the gdp figure we are talking about today. the business secretary within the last half an hour on this programme sounded, it's fair to say, a note of caution about how he views the accuracy of the ons figures. how he views the accuracy of the ons fi . ures. , ., how he views the accuracy of the ons fiaures. , ., ._ , ., figures. figures on the day they are announced of— figures. figures on the day they are announced of economic _ figures. figures on the day they are announced of economic growth - figures. figures on the day they are announced of economic growth or i announced of economic growth or otherwise — announced of economic growth or otherwise cannot be entirely relied on. otherwise cannot be entirely relied on they— otherwise cannot be entirely relied on. they are highly subject to change — on. they are highly subject to change. but if they can be relied on, change. but if they can be relied on. then— change. but if they can be relied on, then clearly it was right of the

gilts and all of this stuff, but what is the reality, what impact does that have in our lives and the real world? it does that have in our lives and the real world?— real world? it has a really will im act. real world? it has a really will impact- this _ real world? it has a really will impact. this is _ real world? it has a really will impact. this is where - real world? it has a really will impact. this is where it - real world? it has a really will impact. this is where it is - impact. this is where it is important even though it seems so far removed from everyday life. the bank stepped in because investors are starting to charge the uk government more to lend are starting to charge the uk government more to [end it money. that is when we talk about bonds. the uk government borrows money by issuing bonds, essentially an iou, it promises to pay that money back with a bit of interest over a number of years. it is usually seen as a safe bet, so the government can borrow at low interest rates. those interest rates went up which is what prompted the bank to step into and bring them back down. it feeds through to our borrowing costs, mortgages gets more expensive, we saw the average 205 fixed rate deal was up at 6% or there about compared with a little over 2% back in december. it has a very real impact

on day—to—day life. aha, december. it has a very real impact on day-to-day life.— on day-to-day life. a lot to get across, thank _ on day-to-day life. a lot to get across, thank you _ on day-to-day life. a lot to get across, thank you so _ on day-to-day life. a lot to get across, thank you so much - on day-to-day life. a lot to get across, thank you so much forl across, thank you so much for explaining it. one of the last remaining stars of hollywood's golden age, the actress dame angela lansbury, has died at her home in los angeles, at the age of 96. in a career spanning more than eight decades, she was perhaps best known for her role as the tv detective jessica fletcher in the hit series, murder she wrote. robert townsend looks back at her life. suppose the master comes back and asks where you've gone? tell him ijust went for a walk. by yourself? she was 17. it was her first part, playing alongside ingrid bergman, for which she was nominated for an oscar. angela lansbury�*s career couldn't have started any better. in due course, there were starring roles in hollywood and on television. you are to shoot the presidential nominee through the head. in the manchurian candidate, she played the monstrous mother of a brainwashed son. increasingly, it was character parts like this, which she came to be offered. rallying a nation of television viewers into hysteria to sweep us up

into the white house with powers that will make martial law seem like anarchy. in her 60s, she reinvented herself as a television actress. above all, as the genteel detective jessica fletcher in murder, she wrote. apparently you haven't heard. last night, the police arrested him for killing hemsley post. she produced the shows as well as starring in them and became, they said, the richest woman in hollywood at the time with an estimated fortune of $70 million. herfilms for children showed her gift for comedy. oh, bother! i do hate shoddy work. there was bedknobs and broomsticks, and later, nanny mcphee. i smell damp. no, no, at least not noticeably. my mother was a medium before me. at the age of nearly 90, she was starring in noel coward's blithe spirit in the west end.

i had my first trance when i was four and a half, and my first... and was thrilled to be made a dame. it's a lovely thing to be recognised and given that nod of approval by your own country, and i really cherish it. a character actress as comfortable on stage as she was on screen. over many decades, angela lansbury was one of britain's most versatile and successful performers. dame angela lansbury, remembered. women should be invited for a menopause checkup when they turn a5, that's according to a new report from a group of cross—party mps. it follows a year—long inquiry which found many women face long waits to see a gp, or were offered antidepressants, against guidelines.

women will be on their knees, so they've got the point where they've sort of put up with symptoms because they don't want to disturb the doctor. i've had some women who genuinely come and seen me and think, "i thought i've got dementia, doctor." women who have recurrent urinary tract infections which actually could be the first signs of the fact they've got genitourinary syndrome of the menopause, or something known as vaginal atrophy, which is so little known about. women will have palpitations, anxiety, panic attack, mental health symptoms, lack of libido, which can really impact relationships as well. so we don't want women to wait until all those symptoms get really had before they come to us. the coronation of king charles iii will take place at westminster abbey on saturday the 6th of may next year. the queen consort will also be crowned at the ceremony, which will be led by the archbishop of canterbury. our royal correspondent sarah campbell is outside buckingham palace this morning. the hints we are getting is that this could be a very different coronation from last time around in the 19505?

coronation from last time around in the 1950s? ., coronation from last time around in the 1950s? . ., ., , ., , the 1950s? yeah, and over history, coronations — the 1950s? yeah, and over history, coronations have _ the 1950s? yeah, and over history, coronations have been _ the 1950s? yeah, and over history, coronations have been tailored - coronations have been tailored towards the monarch. the oaths can be rewritten and changed so that is nothing new. in post—war britain the coronation was seen as a way to help the morale, a way to start the rebuilding of britain after the second world war with its new queen. it was a huge television event, the first big television event. looking to the spring of 2023, where is britain going to be in those times? there will be huge sensitivities that families may have had a very difficult winter, may still be having very difficult economic issues by may of next year. there will have to be a consideration of the optics, how will it look if the king is travelling around the streets of london in a gold state coach? that is where we have a balancing act between those who want p°mp balancing act between those who want pomp and pageantry and ceremony which has been held in the uk since 900 years or something like that,

and then those that question why the king needs to be crowned when he is effectively already king. that is why we have got this mood music, smaller, fewer people inside westminster abbey, shorter, unlikely to be a three—hour ceremony as in 1953, and, we are told, more diverse and more reflective of the uk society as it is today. many more details to be revealed but that date for your diary been set, saturday the 6th of may, when the king and queen consort will be crowned. i queen consort will be crowned. i hope it is in your diary, you are going to be very busy indeed! we don't know yet whether it will be a bank holiday. jacob rees—mogg, the business secretary, told us that he picks it should be but he says it is up picks it should be but he says it is up to the privy council to decide. it is in your diary, we need to make sure whether it is going to be a bank holiday or not. leaders of the g7 industrialised nations have pledged to continue to provide ukraine with military and financial support for as long as it takes.

it comes after president zelensky called for further help, following an escalation of russian missile attacks. we can speak now to our correspondent, hugo bachega, who joins us from ukraine's capital, kyiv. morning. how have these latest pledges been received? goad morning. how have these latest pledges been received? good morning. i think this is — pledges been received? good morning. i think this is going _ pledges been received? good morning. i think this is going to _ pledges been received? good morning. i think this is going to be _ pledges been received? good morning. i think this is going to be welcomed - i think this is going to be welcomed by president zelensky, for quite some time he has been asking for these kind of equipment and its defence systems to be provided to this country and that was the message yesterday that he gave during that meeting of g7 leaders. this is going to be discussed later today when nato defence ministers meet in brussels. i think how to help the ukrainians will be one of the main topics during that meeting later. let me bring you an update on something we are following out of moscow because the russian security services, the fsb, released a statement saying that five russians

and three citizens of ukraine and armenia were detained in connection with the explosion that happened on saturday, an explosion that hit in the crimea bridge, and something that the russians have been saying that the russians have been saying that the russians have been saying that the ukrainians were behind. even though the ukrainians have not acknowledged any kind of involvement explosion. the russians say a lorry because that explosion and that triggered the response on monday with multiple cities being attacked across ukraine and that is

something we will be following today. this is a swarm of male cactus bees attempting to mate with a single female. it was the grand title winner in this year's wildlife photographer of the year competition — and was captured by karine aigner from the united states. you don't expect that at quarter past eight on a wednesday morning. the birds and the bees, lots of bees! been well, not many bees, it really feels like autumn. i have got birds! we will leave it at that! we have got some beautiful sunrises this morning, cloud around as well, and again this is in edinburgh. a weather front again this is in edinburgh. a weatherfront is pushing again this is in edinburgh. a weather front is pushing south and east, head of it there are a few showers. behind it it will brighten up showers. behind it it will brighten up in scotland and northern ireland, a few showers especially in the west. a breezy day today, but gusty

winds across the north west with temperatures 12 to 18 degrees, north to south. this evening, still a weather front moving south, weakening, providing some showers and some cloud. behind that showers in northern england. scotland and northern ireland, brighter, but a few showers dotted here and there in the west. this evening and overnight the west. this evening and overnight the front makes it down to the south and then it picks up, so the rain will turn heavier. in the south—east, a milder night, considerably so last night. the first

we re were clear and another one comes in from the south—west, the rain in this one could be north rain in northern ireland and scotland. between, and brighter. we're about to show you an incredibly powerful video. we're going to play it in full, which is not normally something we do. it's a story about a boy called harrison who was electrocuted at a rail depot. this video is part of a campaign launched by his family to warn of the dangers of railways, both obvious and hidden. my name is harrison ballantyne and i did not expect to die today. there's still so many things to do! i'm too busy to just stop. i did not expect today would be the last time on the school bus. not that i'd miss it. i will miss her, though. didn't expect today would be my last day at school. didn't expect that to be my last kickabout. i'd have played better. didn't expect it to be the last time i hung out with my mates. i wish i hadn't now. i wish they hadn't all been with me when i died.

it's mum, spag bot for dinner. i didn't expect i wouldn't see my mum again. i expect you're wondering what happened. we lost the ball so i went over the small fence to get it. i climbed up onto the train riding for a better look to find it. i didn't even notice the power lines. i didn't touch them. i didn't expect electricity to justjump at me through the air. didn't expect to die today.

wooden fence, and up the bank. and there was no barrier at the top at all so itjust took him straight onto track. the side. he climbed over, he got his ball, and then on the way back, he went to throw the ball to his friends, and the overhead cables arced and electrocuted him and threw him off the top. electrocuted him and threw him off the to -. �* ,., electrocuted him and threw him off theto.�* , , the top. i'm so sorry, so sorry. tell us about _ the top. i'm so sorry, so sorry. tell us about that _ the top. i'm so sorry, so sorry. tell us about that lad. - the top. i'm so sorry, so sorry. j tell us about that lad. because the top. i'm so sorry, so sorry. | tell us about that lad. because i have read the notes, and he sounds like a lovely boy.— like a lovely boy. yeah, lovely character- _ like a lovely boy. yeah, lovely character. he _ like a lovely boy. yeah, lovely character. he was _ like a lovely boy. yeah, lovely character. he was loved - like a lovely boy. yeah, lovely character. he was loved by . character. he was loved by everybody. he played football in the local football team. everybody. he played football in the localfootball team. he everybody. he played football in the local football team. he was funny. he always wanted to make other people smile. he never liked it if somebody was not happy about something, he wanted to pick their mood up. and, yeah, he left an imprint on everybody that knew him.

100,000 meals by next week. it's also handing out more than it receives in donations, meaning it has to pay £6,000 a month to make up the shortfall. depending on giving, we will be able to sustain that, hopefully, through the winter. but that's if prices of food don't go up. that's if levels of food bank use don't go up, and we predict that they will. there has never been a better time to support your local food bank. a charity in south london which aims to improve life skills through horses is giving young people the chance to try stunt riding. ebony horse club in brixton has teamed up with the devil's horsemen who've worked on productions like game of thrones and the crown. it's part of a scheme to show the range ofjobs in the equestrian sector. it's not just always aboutjockeying, showjumping, dressage, there is also in the film industry, there is horses involved in that as well.

so, yeah, i was really shocked. never would i thought i'd be, you know, doing stunting with a horse or stuff like that but it's really cool. travel now and this is how tfl services are looking. a good service on all tube lines. now the weather with katerina. hello there, good morning to you. i think for many today it is going to be mostly dry. there isjust a chance of the odd isolated shower through the course of this afternoon. there will be more cloud around as compared with yesterday. this cold front will track south eastwards, not really reaching us through this evening and overnight. as it does move through, it mayjust pep up slightly. so any mist and fog this morning will clear, cloud amounts will increase from the west. but through the course of the day, as you can see, that cloud will break occasionally to allow for some sunny spells. the chance of the odd isolated shower today. a light to moderate breeze, and we are looking at highs of around 18 degrees there in central london. we will hold onto plenty of cloud

through this evening and overnight, with some rain moving through. that rain just may pep up slightly as it does move through. yes, we are going to hold onto plenty of cloud, perhaps a few clear spells, across the far north and we will see a few mist and fog patches form as well. our temperatures tonight will dip to around 12 degrees, much milder than the nightjust gone. so through thursday we will start off on a mostly dry note, there will be some sunshine through the morning. but the cloud amounts will increase to the afternoon. still some uncertainty as to how far north of that rain will track from the south—west. you'll find more updates on our website and social media including this — a sneak peek inside the all new battersea power station before it opens. that's it for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. lots of you responding to that really powerful chat with liz about her son harrison who was killed on

the railways and they mentioned the website and some of you are asking what it is. youversustrain.co.uk harrison's video is in there with lots of advice on how to talk to your kids about the dangers of the tracks. it's a really powerful film. misunderstood, misdiagnosed and ignored — they'rejust some of the common complaints from women going through menopause. today, a new report from a group of cross—party mps aims to address some of those concerns. it includes a series of recommendations such as a mandatory menopause check—up for women who turn a5. let's get more on that now. we're joined by broadcaster and author, mariella frostrup, from cheltenham, and here in the studio, dr helen wall. good morning. good morning, sally. lovel to good morning. good morning, sally. lovely to see — good morning. good morning, sally. lovely to see you. _ good morning. good morning, sally. lovely to see you. thank— good morning. good morning, sally. lovely to see you. thank you - good morning. good morning, sally. lovely to see you. thank you for i lovely to see you. thank you for coming in. still misunderstood,

still misdiagnosed, how is it taking so long to change people's minds? well, it is extraordinary. i mean, if you have the time i could go back to the history of the menopause over the centuries and certainly it spells out why we might be at this stage today but it doesn't explain why, in the 21st century, we are still in the position we are in terms of making advances. all of the things the appg have brought up to date are things we identified in cracking the menopause published a year ago and also set up menopause mandate in order to campaign for it. it'sjust mandate in order to campaign for it. it's just crazy about women in the early 40s are going for a health check that doesn't even mention the menopause. you know, itjust indicates how overlooked and disparaged a perfectly normal phase that all women will go through has been. a lot of the recommendations from the parliamentary group are just common sense and why we can put

them into action isjust just common sense and why we can put them into action is just a just common sense and why we can put them into action isjust a mystery, a nationalforum, so take them into action isjust a mystery, a national forum, so take away the postcode lottery for what hrt you will be given are not given, won't be available because of shortages, the abandonment of prescription charges because particularly at the moment in the economic crisis we are enduring there are out women there who absolutely can't afford the prescription charges for the hrt. it actually helps them lead their lives in a tangibly healthy way. and actually prevents long—term damage, so you know, all of it is just common sense. there should be no prescription charges for women because it shouldn't be as a socioeconomic decision whether or not you take hrt and we need more research into menopause and hrt. we are 51% of the population. i don't think i need to remind your viewers about. i'm sure many of them are women and we need to be treated as equal members of society. you

mentioned _ equal members of society. you mentioned the _ equal members of society. you mentioned the health check many women have in midlife that doesn't even mention the menopause. what is the problem here? do we have enough knowledge amongst our gps? do we have enough gps? do they have enough time to see everybody? i have enough gps? do they have enough time to see everybody?— time to see everybody? i think gps are under enormous _ time to see everybody? i think gps are under enormous pressure i time to see everybody? i think gps are under enormous pressure at i time to see everybody? i think gps| are under enormous pressure at the moment as we all know, as is the national health service altogether. but there is a historic issue here in terms of gp training which is that it in terms of gp training which is thatitis in terms of gp training which is that it is incredibly minimal. you know, number of gps, large number would have done a warning is on menopause because until very recently, untilwomen menopause because until very recently, until women started making a noise about it, the only important part of our health lives if you will has been the fertile years, when we've been able to procreate and do ourjob we've been able to procreate and do our job for we've been able to procreate and do ourjob for society by having babies. and this idea that this menopause phase and the

post—menopause was of any relevance at all has been completely ignored. we have an ageist problem in this country anyway when it comes to women, post their 50s, it gets even more entrenched and even more difficult and i think, going back to the gps, again wejust difficult and i think, going back to the gps, again we just want a mandatory training in menopause or... sorry my little earpieces popping out of my tiny ears... or nurses trained on it. hrt is not a drug. it is a supplement. it supplements your dwindling catastrophically declining hormones and prevent you from getting osteoporosis and heart conditions so it's a very good thing if you can take it. and you don't need a doctor to tell you if you can or not. a lot of the time women are going to the doctor and presenting symptoms that are menopausal, and they are given antidepressants, fobbed off, told they are too young, none of these things are necessary.—

they are too young, none of these things are necessary. doctor helen is sittin: things are necessary. doctor helen is sitting next _ things are necessary. doctor helen is sitting next to _ things are necessary. doctor helen is sitting next to us _ things are necessary. doctor helen is sitting next to us nodding - is sitting next to us nodding furiously. i mean, shall be pick up that point about gp training? how aware you don't have to name names, but your colleague is generally across the profession about the menopause? i’m across the profession about the menopause?— menopause? i'm sitting here squirming — menopause? i'm sitting here squirming because _ menopause? i'm sitting here squirming because i - menopause? i'm sitting here squirming because i can i menopause? i'm sitting here i squirming because i can amend my menopause? i'm sitting here - squirming because i can amend my gp training— squirming because i can amend my gp training which was probably a bit a-o training which was probably a bit ago now. — training which was probably a bit ago now, and i think i did one hour. a tutoriat _ ago now, and i think i did one hour. a tutorial. not even a morning. i�*m a tutorial. not even a morning. i'm 'ust a tutorial. not even a morning. just watching a tutorial. not even a morning. i�*m just watching marianna's face. a tutorial. not even a morning. i'm just watching marianna's face. it's i just watching marianna's face. it's a massive problem here with the training — a massive problem here with the training it— a massive problem here with the training. it isjust because we didn't— training. it isjust because we didn't factor in what happens to women — didn't factor in what happens to women after they'd gone through their reproductive years. we did a whole _ their reproductive years. we did a whole host— their reproductive years. we did a whole host of education on the reproductive cycle, menstruation, all reproductive cycle, menstruation, att of— reproductive cycle, menstruation, all of those things, but after that it sort— all of those things, but after that it sort of— all of those things, but after that it sort of fell off a cliff edge, so it sort of fell off a cliff edge, so it is a _ it sort of fell off a cliff edge, so it is a while ago, things have moved on a little _ it is a while ago, things have moved on a little bit, but not enough is what _ on a little bit, but not enough is what it— on a little bit, but not enough is what it should do and i think only

41% of— what it should do and i think only 41% of medical schools are mandating menopause _ 41% of medical schools are mandating menopause teaching, so it's notjust gps, _ menopause teaching, so it's notjust gps, we _ menopause teaching, so it's notjust gps, we got — menopause teaching, so it's notjust gps, we got doctors coming out of medical— gps, we got doctors coming out of medical school who have never touched — medical school who have never touched on menopause. we've got a lot of— touched on menopause. we've got a lot of work— touched on menopause. we've got a lot of work to do and there are lots of gps _ lot of work to do and there are lots of gps now— lot of work to do and there are lots of gps now who are getting a special interest— of gps now who are getting a special interest in— of gps now who are getting a special interest in this who are very enthusiastic, doing extra training, doing _ enthusiastic, doing extra training, doing tots— enthusiastic, doing extra training, doing lots more, but it's a postcode lottery— doing lots more, but it's a postcode lottery not — doing lots more, but it's a postcode lottery not just doing lots more, but it's a postcode lottery notjust in doing lots more, but it's a postcode lottery not just in terms of where you live _ lottery not just in terms of where you live but also in the practice so you live but also in the practice so you could — you live but also in the practice so you could have several gps in a practice — you could have several gps in a practice and only one of them might show— practice and only one of them might show an— practice and only one of them might show an interest or of an extra training — show an interest or of an extra training in— show an interest or of an extra training in the menopause. it�*s training in the menopause. it's tric for training in the menopause. it�*s tricky for patients. these mps today say every woman should have a menopause checkup at about the age of a5. menopause checkup at about the age of 45. i menopause checkup at about the age of as. i bet there are lots of women and men watching this morning thinking how on earth is my gp going to manage to see all those women? i can't get an appointment for anything unexpected. do you have the capacity to provide that at the moment? i capacity to provide that at the moment? ., �* ~' capacity to provide that at the moment?— capacity to provide that at the moment? ., �* ~ ., moment? i don't think we have the ca aci if moment? i don't think we have the capacity if i'm _ moment? i don't think we have the capacity if i'm honest _ moment? i don't think we have the capacity if i'm honest but _ moment? i don't think we have the capacity if i'm honest but what i i capacity if i'm honest but what i would _

could be the start of a menopausal start, perimenopausal? £15 could be the start of a menopausal start, perimenopausal? $5 is start, perimenopausal? 45 is actually. _ start, perimenopausal? 45 is actually. i — start, perimenopausal? 45 is actually, i mean, _ start, perimenopausal? 45 is actually, i mean, you - start, perimenopausal? 45 is actually, i mean, you could i start, perimenopausal? 45 is- actually, i mean, you could even start, perimenopausal? 4h; 3 actually, i mean, you could even do it earlier because the fact of the matter is as we discovered when you are writing the book, it's not like i was an expert, i was just so furious that there was so little information out there for me that i decided i had to put it together myself in a book. one of the things we discovered much to our horror in a way was that the most important period to be supported during menopause, and it's not a luxury but a basic equalities issue, a basic human right, is that decade before your menopause. that's when the damage is done. when i was finally diagnosed i had osteoporosis, right on the cusp of it, and that was entirely and directly a result of my diminishing oestrogen about which i was completely unaware until i finally found someone after a lot of seeking who said, look, you are

menopausal and we need to check your bone density and get you on hrt. and that's what's not too many women. you know, the fact of the matter is, it's costing the national health service so much more because these are long—term conditions women will have to be diagnosed for and then treated for later in life that could all be prevented if we dealt with this minimal phase in women's lives properly and accurately. it isn't rocket science. but it is shocking that we are still treated like this and i'm afraid it is the last frontier of feminism in a way. it is fabulous to _ frontier of feminism in a way. it is fabulous to talk _ frontier of feminism in a way. it is fabulous to talk to _ frontier of feminism in a way. it is fabulous to talk to you this morning. thank you so much for talking to us and battling with that really rather large earpiece in your tiny ears. you did a greatjob. thank you very much indeed.

marianna's book, cracking the menopause, is out now. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. i'll start than yesterday for most of us. quite a bit of cloud and some rain moving south and quite a breezy day as well. now if this from producing all the cloud and the rain, as it sinks southwards. it will continue to weaken and fragment and the isobars are quite well spaced, so that's telling us it's going to be breezy rather than windy. the strongest in the north—west. the cloud building ahead of the weather front coming south. a few showers around. and then you can see how the weather front weakens the rain, turning more patchy. behind it for scotland and northern ireland, it will brighten up with some sunshine and a few showers, most of which will be in the west. temperatures, 12—18. through this evening and overnight you can see how the weather front continue southwards and weakens but then by the end of the night it will be starting to pick up and the rain

will turn heavier. behind it, some clear skies are so it's going to be a cooler night than last night for most. the exception being in the south—east. temperatures this morning were around freezing. tomorrow, 12. we will continue with the showers across the north and west of scotland. tomorrow, first of all, we say goodbye to the weather front in the south and then he got a new clutch of france from the south—west drifting eastwards. at the moment, it looks like the rain on these fronts is going to clip the south coast of england and the english channel but it won't take much for them to nudge a bit further north taking the rain with them little bit further south and we miss the rain so still a bit of uncertainty about dad so do keep watching the forecast for the latest on that one. we also have some rain moving across northern ireland into scotland, not getting into the east until later but it's between these two systems we see the driest and the brightest conditions. as we move through thursday night, the system eventually pushes away onto the near

continent and during friday here comes our next area of low pressure with its weather front and you can see from the isobars it's going to be a blustery day wherever you are. the strongest gusty winds across the north and west. we start off on a largely dry note, a few clouds, sunshine, some showers, especially in the west, but more especially the north—west, some of those will be heavy and thundery and the tops of the mountains in scotland you will find it could be wintry. temperatures are 9—17. as we head into the weekend, the weather remains changeable with showers or longer spells of rain and blustery. thank you very much. wednesday morning. time for a look at the sport. another world cup on the horizon. it's not to be for scotland and wales last night. good morning. scotland's world cup hopes are over, losing 1—0 to the republic of ireland at hampden park who are celebrating after reaching their first major tournament. it was just the one goal that split the two sides,

amber barrett racing clear to score with less than 15 minutes remaining. she dedicated the goal to the victims of the crees—lock tragedy. barret�*s grandparents hail from there, she knew some of those who died. so a hugely emotional night for her and everyone involved. that goal will go down as one of the biggest goals in the history of women's football in the republic of ireland. wales were hoping to qualify for a major tournament for the first time. rhiannon roberts did give them the lead. but they needed other results to go their way to qualify outright but a swiss equaliser just before half time who also had two goals disallowed and a goal in the last seconds of extra time ended welsh hopes. late drama there. how was your tennis? it's not great, to be honest. mine should be brilliant but it's not good at all. i could definitely coach. because the search is back on again for a coach for emma raducanu.

she's parted company with dimitry tursunov, who was her fourth in 15 months. so you never know at this rate that call might come? jokes aside, she is injured at the moment, and will team up with andy murray's old fitness coach to try and iron out the niggles that have forced a lot of recent retirments from tournaments of late. with a view to ideally having someone in place by the new year. she needs to settle on someone, doesn't she? that's the plan. the call could come. it won't come to me. thanks very much indeed. from the hapless del boy in only fools and horses to the long—suffering granville in open all hours, sir david jason has brought us some of the best—loved characters in british television. i'v e i've been to have a chat with him. but one role he's not taking too seriously, is that of national treasure as he's been telling me in an exclusive interview for bbc breakfast. that's going to really confuse things! they laugh. yes! how have the last couple of years been — the pandemic and the changes to life? well, for a time there i was fine, and then a couple to three months ago i went to...

i tell you what happened. i went to the fairford airshow and i caught the dreaded covid. and did i get it bad? i got it seriously bad. how did it affect you? what happened ? i got out of the bed in the early hours to visit... to make a visit. and because all the muscles weren't working i collapsed. my arms wouldn't work and my legs wouldn't work. so, being a very creative and inventive person as what i am, i thought, how will i get from here to the door? so, you know, walruses, when you see walrus, if you watch david attenborough, they walk on land. yeah. they crawl on land. that's what i did. but in order to do that, i had to use my head. so now i'm lying face down on the ground and, in order to get the door,

and the arms really weren't working, the legs weren't working, sorry about this, but this is what happened. i was using my head to drag me to the door. so, just as i got to the door, the door opened and, i was going to say whacked me on the head, but it wasn't. it was my good lady wife and she managed to help me get back into bed. but later on the next day, i got carpet burns all down my forehead and across the top of my nose. so i think i'm the only person who had covid and carpet burns. at the same time? at the same time. bit of improv as a walrus. well, yes. i'd love to see a video of that. well, thank god she wasn't with her phone, because probably that was the first thing she would have done! the last two years, apart from covid towards the end, how have you found the pandemic? the lockdowns, the working from home, the zooms? such a change from the face—to—face

stuff you've done all your life? i'm not a fan of it and so i've had to draw a line and say no. it's never very flattering. what happens when i see it, you are interviewing somebody about something or other and they've got the zoom in their front room or wherever it is, as soon as that happens my mind drifts off. i can't hear what they're talking about because i'm looking at the thing. there's a picture behind their head and i'm going, what's that picture? i wonder who that is by? i wonder if that is worth money? no, she's probably done that herself. sorry, what was he saying? i don't know. but he's got a nice picture in his living room. i tell you what, people will be watching this now and they'll be looking behind your head and they'll be looking at those very fancy shelves with leather books behind you and they'll be saying,

"my goodness, david jason lives in a pretty posh place." explain where we are and the significance of this and to the book, as well. it's a place called hartwell house and it's lovely. i used to come here quite a lot to help me with my writing because it was so quiet. if you are at home, you can't, can you? you can't really concentrate because the good family that you have, if you are in a room somewhere, and you say i'm just going to do a bit of writing, they say, yes, that's all right. and you just start, and "david!" yes? what is it? there's somebody on the phone for you. do you want to speak to them? who is it? it's a man from the bbc. oh, the bbc. what do they want? they want to do an interview with you. so you go, oh, forget that! i won't bother. come here instead.

and i come here and who is here, the bbc! in the book, you talk about christmas and how kind of so many points in your life and career come down to christmas. in fact, the very first time you appeared on television was christmas day. i have to tell you, i played the king of goose land. it was mother goose? yes, it was mother goose, yes. the bbc pantomime, christmas day 1965. my first appearance on television, yes. do you know what? no? bbc breakfast has been into the bbc archives. it's probably a while since you've seen this, if ever. if i press this... oh, god! laughs. where did you get this from? how embarrassing is that? you are one of the policemen, is that right? yeah, yeah.

the flocking policemen. the police ballet, i think they called it. i can't remember which one is me. it's ridiculous. i can see the funny side of it. but i don't think it was that funny, really! when did you last see this? well, when it went out on christmas day, 1965. really? yeah! dear, oh dear. how embarrassing is that. oh, i'm sorry! it's all right. don't show that to the people at home, please? i think it's too late. what? i think it's too late. get my agent on the phone! what do you remember about when it appeared on television, that christmas eve? did the family all gather around to see it? oh, yeah, of course, it was, yeah. it was a major event. well, you've got to think about it, a poor, ordinary, working—class family, and suddenly, because television was still quite new then.

it wasn't like it is, in everybody's house, like it is today. it was just beginning to get there in everybody's house. but then to have one of your own, one of your family actually on the television itself was an amazing achievement. what i had to do was constantly say to my family who were watching it, and say, that's me, that's me! that one! who, which? that villager, he's gone now. that was me, the one that said to the girl there, can we have a dance? they must have been so proud to see you. they were, yeah. yeah, they were, quietly. but they were the sort of family that never made a big deal of it, or a big fuss. my father would just sit there going, ohhh, oh, silly hugger!

was that you flying about as a policeman? i thought so. talk about being humbled! whack you down, instead of going the other way. that's you, marvellous, well done, son! no, it was always the opposite. but, anyway, it was a great achievement, let me put it that way. 2022, you're officially declared a national treasure as part of the jubilee celebrations. oh, yeah. yeah. what was that like? well, listen. very difficult to take it seriously, you know. isay, "oh, yeah, i'm a leg—end!" i'm a leg—end that keeps either side of the television still working occasionally! so a living leg—end? a living leg—end, that's me. it must have been special to be part of the jubilee celebrations. now we know that the queen passed

awayjust a few months later, to have been part of thosejubilee celebrations of the 70 years of her reign now, looking back on it, it must have been even more special? well, yeah, it really was. but what did happen was that really did surprise me and bring a smile to my face was that you got the great coach coming down. you got all the soldiers and the horses and the pageantry and all the wonderful things and all trotting down and the gold coach and all of this. and then i sort of look up the mall and down there comes the ruddy trotters' van! and you go, "i don't believe this. "why is the trotters' van there?" but it was because it was part of the national identity, if you like. and it did it did make me laugh and bring a smile to my face. i'm just thinking now to the winter 2022, a lot of people going through really tough times, cost of living crisis.

i'm trying to imagine how would the trotters be dealing with this? how would del be reacting to the cost of living crisis? bless him, john sullivan, the creator, the writer, he is unfortunately no longer with us, butjohn would have grabbed that by the scruff of its neck and he would have come up with some plans and he would have wrung some real humour out of the situation. but del boy would have come up with a scheme to make a bit of cash, wouldn't he? no way. no way, pal, would he have hurt any of our humble people who live and work in this country. but if there was a few quid to be made, yes, of course. out of all those christmas specials that you've done over the years, the only fools and horses ones, what's your favourite episode? oh, i don't know. there's so many. i suppose one, because the silliness

of the joke was to hull and back. yeah. the most expensivejoke in british television, i think. oi! john! holland? what? which way to holland? it's over there. cheers, pal. albert. it's to the right. holland is that way. thank you. rodney, see. don't know the way, just got to ask someone, don't you? we were out in the middle of the ocean to the oil rig just to do that one line. it was worth it. but it was worth it, yeah. sir david jason, thank you so much forjoining us on breakfast. pleasure, pleasure. lovely to meet you. yeah, thank you.

he is fabulous, isn't he? he's so good. we talked for hours and had to edit it down. that was the most expensive joke on british television. it was funny. they hired the boats, went all about the oil rig at sea. holland? it's that way. it's classic. i want to watch episode again. sir david's book, 'the 12 dels of christmas' is out tomorrow. it's 8:59. you're watching bbc breakfast.

this is bbc news. i'm annita mcveigh and these are the latest headlines... the uk economy unexpectedly shrank by 0.3% in august for the first time in two months — raising the risk of a recession this year as households face soaring costs. the pound fell again against the dollar for a short time after the governor of the bank of england warned its emergency support package for financial markets will end on friday. i'm afraid this has to be done for the safety of financial stability. prime minister liz truss will appear at pmqs later — her first time at the dispatch box since last month's mini budget sparked market turmoil. what are your fears around

a potential recession — are you a business owner or a living in a household already struggling financially? we want to hear from you.
