6:02 am
as the new chancellor, jeremy hunt, and the prime minister meet for talks today, they face a daunting task. there will be a new budget in a fortnight, and the government needs this one to calm turmoil in financial markets. by the governor of the bank of england has warned borrowing costs are already likely to rise. we borrowing costs are already likely to rise. ~ ., , ., ., to rise. we will not hesitate to raise interest _ to rise. we will not hesitate to raise interest rates _ to rise. we will not hesitate to raise interest rates to - to rise. we will not hesitate to raise interest rates to reap - to rise. we will not hesitate toi raise interest rates to reap the inflation target. and as things stand today, my best guess is that inflationary pressures will require a stronger response than we perhaps thought in august. in a a stronger response than we perhaps thought in august.— thought in august. in a statement last niaht, thought in august. in a statement last night. jeremy _ thought in august. in a statement last night, jeremy hunt _ thought in august. in a statement last night, jeremy hunt said... . it is clear that he plans to dump the taxcutting agenda liz truss suggested during the leadership contest. even the us president, joe biden, said he thought the original plan had been a mistake. but

6:04 am
week. our political correspondent pete saulljoins us from london. we know that liz truss and jeremy hunt are going to have talks today. i was going to ask you if you expect this week to be as turbulent as last week, but i think everybody probably, apart from their opponents, is hoping it will be a little bit calmer.— little bit calmer. yes, roger, i have long _ little bit calmer. yes, roger, i have long since _ little bit calmer. yes, roger, i have long since given - little bit calmer. yes, roger, i have long since given up - little bit calmer. yes, roger, i | have long since given up trying little bit calmer. yes, roger, i i have long since given up trying to predict what is going to happen next in british politics but certainly they will hope that the relative calm of checkers, the buckingham country hit side today, will allow them to ignore the noise. and my hazard in noisy in westminster of late. —— my, has it been noisy in westminster of late. i think liz truss has bought herself a little bit of time with the appointment of jeremy hunt, replacing a very close political ally in kwasi kwarteng. as we heard in ben's report, lots of conservative mps now looking to that statement before deciding how they
6:05 am
are going to move next, moving forward. but i suppose the question ahead of these talks today is who is actually in charge, becausejeremy hunt has already clearly signalled that the agenda that liz truss stood on throughout the conservative leadership contest and won the conservative leadership contest on is going to be thrown in the bin. that could mean that tax cuts that were on the agenda now no longer on the agenda. it could mean that spending cuts are going to be coming as well. and so already a lot of people are saying thatjeremy hunt, ratherjust being a new chancellor, is already looking like a caretaker prime minister.— is already looking like a caretaker prime minister. ., ,, , ., , . prime minister. thank you very much indeed. the manchester united footballer mason greenwood has been charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault. he is due to appear in court tomorrow. our reporter dave guest is outside old trafford. dave, what more can you tell us about this case? of course, mason greenwood has not
6:06 am
been here at old trafford or played with manchester united since january of this year. that is when he was initially arrested. that arrest followed a series of posts and allegations made online. the police released him on bail while they investigated those allegations, but yesterday they arrested him for allegedly breaching the terms of his bail condition. later in the afternoon the crown prosecution service said that the 21—year—old had been charged with attempted rape, coercive or controlling behaviour and assault. the attempted rape is said to have happened in october of last year, the assault in december of last year and the coercive behaviour is said to have taken place in a time period from november of 2018. the cps said that they made the decision to charge the player after reviewing evidence provided to them by greater manchester police. they have also reminded everyone that these are now live legal proceedings and they have cautioned anyone against making any
6:07 am
comment or sharing any information online or anywhere else which might prejudice mason greenwood's right to a fair hearing. he is due to face magistrates in manchester tomorrow. thank you. parts of central leeds were evacuated last night after a large fire tore through an historic building. flames could be seen engulfing the leonardo building, a former council property which had been sold to developers for conversion into student accommodation. the fire is now under control and a safety cordon has been put in place. a large fire has broken out at a jail in the iranian capital, tehran, where hundreds of political prisoners are held. officials say eight people were injured and it is now under control. it's the latest unrest following weeks of protests over the death in custody of a young woman who was detained for allegedly not wearing her hijab correctly. azadeh moshiri reports. flames engulfing iran's notorious evin prison.
6:08 am
in the midst of widespread unrest, it is a scene that frightened iranians both inside and outside the country. officials say a riot broke out between inmates. what people saw on social media was fires raging across the compound and gunshots heard in the distance. scenes of riot police and firefighters rushing to the prison did little to calm people's fears. for the inmates' families, it is pure panic. they rushed to evin, clogging the roads with traffic, trying to find out if their loved ones were safe. but evin is also known for housing hundreds of political prisoners as well as dual nationals, which is what prompted this tweet by ned price, the us state department spokesperson. the incident will likely lead to further scrutiny from abroad.
6:09 am
this is what us presidentjoe biden said when asked about the fire. the iranian government is so oppressive, we can't have anything but an enormous amount of respect for those people marching in the streets. and it will add to the anger within the country as protests continue in more than a dozen cities. in ardabil, they were throwing stones at authorities over the weekend, shouting, "death to the dictator," a reference to iran's supreme leader. the security forces are still clamping down on dissent as they are in this scene, also believed to be in ardabil. it has now been more than a month since the process began. they are still led by women and schoolgirls, but also involve people from all walks of life. and amidst a crackdown by the government and internet blackouts, it is clear the dissent is far from over.
6:10 am
china's president, xijinping, is expected to cement his grip on power as the communist party congress gets under way in beijing today. it is understood that delegates are likely to hand him an historic third term as party chief. our china correspondent stephen mcdonell is in beijing. good morning to you. does this mean that xijinping is good morning to you. does this mean that xi jinping is effectively a powerful life? that xi jinping is effectively a powerful life ?_ that xi jinping is effectively a powerful life? yes, it certainly does, powerful life? yes, it certainly does. and _ powerful life? yes, it certainly does, and the _ powerful life? yes, it certainly does, and the real— powerful life? yes, it certainly does, and the real big news i powerful life? yes, it certainly does, and the real big news to powerful life? yes, it certainly - does, and the real big news to come out of this is that people were waiting to hear him say that there might be an easing of common restrictions after the communist party congress. the short answer is no, that the mass testing, the lockdowns, the scanning, the quarantines, they are all here to say because as xi jinping put it, there will be no wavering on zero covid. he said this was because of the need to save people's lives. however, there was no acknowledgement at all of the pain
6:11 am
this is causing in terms of the economic and social disruptions from zero covid. in fact, no mention at all of several of these massive challenges the government is facing. nothing on youth unemployment, nothing on the housing crisis. in this two hour speech, it was kind of a once over, light, full of rhetoric but very short on detail as to how the government plans to get out of this economic quagmire it has found itself in. on other questions like, for example, hong kong, xijinping defended the crackdown there, saying there is now stability being returned. in terms of taiwan, the government was trying to maintain good economic relations, reunification peacefully, but it wouldn't rule out force. stephen, thank ou wouldn't rule out force. stephen, thank you very — wouldn't rule out force. stephen, thank you very much. _ more than 1,000 paddington bears and other soft toys which were left outside royal residences in tribute to the queen are being donated
6:12 am
to the children's charity barnardo's. the bears will be professionally cleaned and then delivered over the coming weeks. but first, a select group of them had an official engagement with the queen consort, camilla, as our royal correspondent daniela relph explains. keeping an eye on the hundreds of bears that have been left in tribute to her mother—in—law, camilla queen consort was photographed in clarence house last thursday, 64 years to the day since the first paddington book was published. after the queen's death, every royal resident was surrounded by a sea of flowers, and in amongst those floral tributes were the paddington bears, so many of them — in london, windsor, sandringham, del moral — snuck in between the flowers, a nod to the queen's specialjubilee surprise when hejoined herfor tea —— bal moral. when he “oined her for tea -- bal moral. ., ~' , ., when he “oined her for tea -- bal moral. . ,, , ., ., ., .,

6:15 am
much like london 2012. beautiful. 6:14am. back in the darkest days of the pandemic, you may remember that sense of relief when a german firm, biontech, developed the first covid vaccine to be approved. that firm was founded and run by a husband and wife, ugur sahin and ozlem tureci, who now say they believe the same technology could be used to fight cancer. our medical editor fergus walsh has been finding out more. if you have a covid booster this autumn, whether it's the pfizer—biontech or moderna jabs, they both rely on a new type of vaccine technology known as mrna. all done! among the pioneers were husband and wife team professors ugur sahin and ozlem tureci, who founded biontech. professor sahin, professor tureci... speaking to sunday with laura kuenssberg, the doctors said mrna is showing promise in cancer studies, where patients receive a personalised vaccine to prompt their immune system to attack their disease. every step, every patient we treat
6:16 am
in our cancer trials helps us to find out more about what we are against and how to address that. therefore, as scientists, we are always hesitant to say we will have a cure for cancer. we have a number of breakthroughs and we will continue to work on them. but it may be several years before we know if trials in bowel cancer, melanoma and other tumour types really do live up to the hype. covid vaccines, though, have been highly successful and made billions for biontech, but rival firm moderna has started legal action for patent infringement — in essence, claiming key elements of their mrna technology were copied. biontech says it will vigorously defend against the allegations. our innovations are original.
6:17 am
we have spent 20 years of research in developing this type of treatment and, of course, we will fight for our intellectual property. these patent disputes won't stop the rollout of covid vaccines. mrna technology came of age in the pandemic. the question now is can it take on cancer? fergus walsh, bbc news. you can hear more of that interview between laura kuenssberg and the founders of biontech on laura's sunday show, which is on bbc one at 9:00am this morning. i remember that moment, incredible, the relief. here's louise with a look at the weather. levy some relief on the weekend? actually, we have had some blue sky.
6:18 am
it has been quite messy, the weather over the last two days because we have had lots of different leather types, all within a couple of hours. yesterday we had hail, thunder, rain, snow on the tops of the mountains in scotland. today is much quieter. largely dry with sunny spells. some intense shallows and still the low pressure that brought that eclectic mix of weather is starting to pull away before another arrives later on in the day. on the whole it isn't a bad sunday for many. let's look at the showers. snow across the tops of the mountains in scotland, some snow showers here. they are quite frequent and will start to fade away as the low continues to track north and east. an improving story here. elsewhere, dry, unsettled sunny weather as we go through the day. lighter winds in comparison to yesterday. by the end of the afternoon, into cornwall under combo
6:19 am
coast around dorset, abrasive rain but really at the end of the afternoon. some warmth as well. a speu afternoon. some warmth as well. a spell of wet and windy weather moved steadily north overnight. an overnight story, most of it clearing first thing monday. the spell of heavy rain through northern ireland into scotland, strong, gusty gale force winds a time here as well. relatively mild with all of the cloud around and relatively quieter start, generally. we might see some scattered showers across the south—east. the bulk of the rain eases first thing monday morning. you can see the centre of the low whether showers are circulating around. showers through northern ireland, scotland, some happy with under mixed in as well. a blustery afternoon but lighter winds with more sunshine as a ridge of high pressure builds on monday. that is more likely to stay with us as we go into tuesday. again, relatively mild
6:20 am
story 10—18. that little bump of high pressure is going to stay with us for the opening part of the week but once the low pressure arrives from the atlantic it will stay pretty unsettled. the week is shaping up to a tale of two halves. the beginning is dry, settled, the best of the sunshine. as we go through wednesday onwards, lots of showers and stronger winds. active. ~ �* , active. we'll en'oy the skies while we've not active. we'll enjoy the skies while we've got them. _ active. we'll enjoy the skies while we've got them. although - active. we'll enjoy the skies while we've got them. although i - active. we'll enjoy the skies while we've got them. although i did i active. we'll enjoy the skies while l we've got them. although i did rain esterda , we've got them. although i did rain yesterday, louise, _ we've got them. although i did rain yesterday, louise, i— we've got them. although i did rain yesterday, louise, i don't- we've got them. although i did rain yesterday, louise, i don't know- we've got them. although i did rain | yesterday, louise, i don't know what i'm yesterday, louise, i don't know what i'm talking _ yesterday, louise, i don't know what i'm talking about! laughs. i was thinking, what day is it? i couldn't remember myself! laughs. we were in here or yesterday, won't we? thank you! although apparently it was the reading university open day yesterday, it was glorious. there you go. in the morning. i remember getting rain fall in manchester all day long. we've spoken a lot in recent days about the political turmoil in westminster, but the effects of that turmoil are being felt right

6:24 am
taken "full control" by delaying liz truss's flagship one—pence cut to income tax by a year. the sunday mirror claims rattled conservatives want defense secretary ben wallace to replace liz truss as prime minister with rishi sunak back in the role of chancellor. in the sunday people there's a warning that one million workers may stage a walkout in a bid to get better pay. it follows months of strikes by rail workers and, more recently, barristers over the issue. and the sunday telegraph is reporting sirjohn major thinks the netflix series, the crown, is "damaging and malicious fiction" and "a barrel—load of nonsense." the comments come amid fears the forthcoming series could damage the king's reputation. a quick look inside the papers.

6:34 am
she beat long—time rival england's savannah marshall in a unanimous decision in london last night. it was the first time two female boxers had headlined at a major venue in the uk, and the fight lived up to all the hype. marshall showed incredible heart and resolve, but in the end all three judges awarded the contest in shields favour. look, i'm disappointed that i came up look, i'm disappointed that i came up short, but if it's done anything forfemale boxing, if it's pushed the sport, if it's made young boys and girls want to get in the gym and give ita go, and girls want to get in the gym and give it a go, then i'll be happy with that. all the talk in the premier league so far this season has been around manchester city and arsenal, but tottenham are now within a point of the leaders after a 2—0 win over everton. after harry kane marked his 400th spurs appearance with the opener,

6:38 am
radio: talk about comms... copy. so it was just weird, almost like he... radio: diver's comms, titan was surprised when they made a turn as they departed the platform, i let them know he snagged a buoy... yeah, roger that, comms. this is diver one. just a heads up, it looked like he was heavy and possibly dropped a thruster because he started spinning really weird when he came off. he bounced a bunch of times when he was trying to leave the platform... radio: copy. which direction did he spin? starboard. so it would have been his starboard thruster? yeah.
6:39 am
checked it and said it was good. we will find out, we'll see! good? hungry! laughs. need some breakfast. i'm all ready for when they come. must be a busyjob for you? very busy, it is indeed. it is steady. one mealjust rolls into the other, into the other. and especially on dive days, it gets very busy. but i wouldn't have it any other way. really? you like it better doing this than on land? oh, absolutely, 100%. every day is the excitement,
6:40 am
is there a dive today, are they going to make it, what did they see, who is going down, when are they coming back? so some days, like i said, are more challenging than others but for the most part, every day is great. every day is great. for sure. bottom out around 800 metres... so this is like the very first measurement an oceanographer would make from the site, you record the saltiness of the water throughout the whole depth profile and you record the temperature change. the ocean is getting warmer, it is acidifying, we are seeing much faster glacial melting, the ice sheets are melting, there's huge injections of fresh water that are going on. having this kind of information from remote parts of the world
6:41 am
like this is really important to understand those changes. and we're going to be able to link this data to all of the species we document through the video and through the edna, so we can link these species observations to the environmental conditions they are found in. edna stands for environmental dna, and it is dna that is left in the environment by all the organisms living there. you can imagine a fish swimming through the environment is shedding skin cells and bodily fluids as it moves around so all about leaves a bit of dna behind in the environment. this expedition we are collecting samples with niskin bottles, which are hollow tubes with caps on them that can be closed at particular depths to detect a sample, and those bottles are attached onto the titan submersible. we do have communication with the sub while they are down there but i don't believe there is a sample there until i see the bottle at the surface that
6:42 am
is closed with the samples. the first time i dove the sub, i said, "this is amazing," it is such a different experience, it is a totally different emotion. when you are in the sub, if you didn't bring it with you, nobody is bringing it to you. the sounds are different, what you see is different, and i thought, more people have to go in subs. it looks like silk! oh my god, it is getting bigger! on the way down we saw a layer of animals we called mesopelagic animals. a lot of those animals are bioluminescent, you get flashes of light here and there all through the water column. we were going very fast down, so it was very difficult to see with the naked eye, but once in a while a critter went by. 0h! wow, that was beautiful. we are at 1,200 metres. as we went down through the water column it became darker and darker until past
6:43 am
1,000 metres there are no photons that get past that layer and it is pitch black. so it is very, veryjarring i because for about 2.5 hours we see nothing but darkness, and then all of a sudden i you see the floor come up to you, the ground come. up to you. all of a sudden you see i the earth come up to you, and it does feel like it is- coming up to you because you are descending so quickly. and so even before seeing any part of man—made material. of the ship, seeing the natural bottom of the ocean come upl at you was sort of spectacular, i mean, it was very exciting i just to see dirt and mud. wow, it was amazing, when you suddenly saw the sand come up and we were just in the debris field there and then. seeing the pieces of| debris was sobering.
6:44 am
all five of us in i the submersible kind of unofficially had i this moment of silence when we hit the bottom. the first pieces i see i looking out of the porthole are pieces of coal. and it didn't even connect. that they were coal at first. i thought they were just rocks. and then someone in the subj said "oh, look, there's coal". and that is the moment that i connected me to the humanness of the titanic, that - people had shovelled this, people had brought itl onto the boat and that during the sinking it just all spilled out. i and then we began to see other things, we saw a plate, a big dinner platejust sitting there on its own, then we saw a wash hand basin with a tap still attached. we were only about 300 metres apparently from the wreck at that stage. i don't know what is going on, ifeel like... like what, like it's thrusters?
6:45 am
yeah, i don't know what is going on. we have a grid map that i corresponds with the grid map that topside has. 946... it is like battleship, i they tell us which square we are in. we had kind of a good idea which square we were in. but we had topside confirm that with us and give us a heading. i is something wrong with my thrusters? i am thrusting and nothing is happening. range...and bearing...two... are we closer to the bank? we will find out. i don't recognise that mud out there, do you? here is the map!
6:46 am
no, i haven't been here before. am i spinning? yes. lam? now you are going north. oh, my god. and scott is like, "oh no, we have a problem". i when we are thrusting forward, one of the thrusters is thrusting back right now. the only thing i can do right now is a 360. i was thinking, "we're not going to make it!" we are literally 300 metres from titanic and although we are in the debris field, we can't go anywhere but go in circles. when i am initiating thrust, i am turning. that is why i spun on the platform. yeah. oh, god, no, don't tell me we have to go to surface, at 300 metres away
6:47 am
from the titanic. i had covid a few years ago. the first covid, the nasty one, as they say. and i found, i had lost 80kg in the last two years, i had been keeping myself very fit and watching my diet. one of the things i do is i box every day. so usually i spend about two or three hours in the gym but one of them is boxing for an hour, and i was running out of breath a lot. i went to see a heart specialist in london. they did a myriad of tests and they found the covid had given me sarcoidosis in one of the ventricles in my heart. so they decided i needed a pacemaker and a defibrillator immediately, literally within 48 hours. i went in on a saturday, he allowed me back in the gym three days later, and gave me the 0k literally that week
6:48 am
to come here and do the dive. people used to say to me, "oh, you are doing your bucket list", well it feels like i am now. no, it makes it more exciting, and the fact that i am able to do it is fantastic. if i had ignored my symptoms, i might not be here. on the sticks now, the actual| sticks, what is left and right? the right stick, that's forward, back, turn left, turn right. and when he goes forward, he is getting a turn. what's the left stick? down and up. yeah. what would cause that? they swapped out one of the thrusters. they put it on the wrong way? i mean, it is unidirectional. yeah, it should be, but something happened. yeah, what he can do, so on the controller you have the up, down, left, right arrows, and you can set
6:49 am
them so that one was going and every time you hit the button, it would go forward. um... inaudible. i hope he knows how to do this. hi, jerome. stockton on wendy's phone. just call me back if you got a chance, we've got a question. we're on the dive right now, just looking for a way to remap the ps3 controller. thanks. it's not going to be easy. if we bring up a picture of that controller, we can tell him to press x, press y, press a, press b. yeah, except i don't remember which one is up and down. it might be that he could go forward with left and right. he'd only be able to turn one way, maybe. yeah, it would be interesting. so close!
6:50 am
so if that is the case, when he goes left, it should go forward. when he goes to take a turn to the left, he is going to go forward starboard, which would be reverse starboard. it might work, yeah. yeah, left and right might be forward and back. huh, i don't know. alter track by 90 degrees. try turning right. then we go forward, do we? go forward, 77. so forward... forward. right is forward. i'm gonna have to write this down. right is forward.
6:51 am
great, live with it. perfect. 0k. ok, just say rotate the controller. it's a lot easier if you just rotate the controller and then you've got it, because if right is forward, then left is back. 0k. rotate controller. and we were so happy that we figured it out that we could just move forward, that we started clapping in the submersible, going, "yes, we can go!" piece of metal on the right. can you bring up more light, scott, or is this it? - one of the early pieces we ran across were some tiles. not sure what part of the wreck they were from, but you could see the really pretty colours in the painted tiles. the pieces that were intact were pretty phenomenal because we see colour
6:52 am
at the bottom of this ocean. this is definitely the most challenging piloting i've ever done! so, bearwith me, guys, i'm trying my best! good job, scott. laughs. i'm trying my best! yeah, you're doing great! it's immensely exciting. you never know what's going to swim by. i don't see any wreckage. i lost my dvl, my altitude. i see the wreck on sonar though. 0k. how close are we to the titanic? very close. two metres, no? the bow should be visible.
6:53 am
if you guys see anything, you've got to let me know, 0k? yeah, nothing yet. we're ten metres away from the bow. i don't see it yet. it might be on your right. it's gonna be on the right. 0k. you've gotta rotate around to it. yes, yes, yes, rotate, rotate! bow, bow, bow, bow, bow! we are at the bow. please send that message. oh, my god, you did it!
6:54 am
confirm they are at the bow of the titanic. doing everything in reverse to make us get here, i it looks fantastic. can't believe it. in real life, it's ginormous! it's really incredible. i'm lost for words, i actually, to be honest. it's that good, yes. i'm just crying. we've made it! finally, made it. how does it feel to get a lifelong dream? hard to explain. hard to put in words.
6:55 am
she is big. i mean, to imagine how big she must have been, there must be 20 feet of wreck inside the sand. and even like that, what you're seeing is 20 feet high. amazing to realise that you are at titanic. it's no longer a myth for me. it's reality, it's right there, in front of you. you are so close to it that you can actually touch it. when you go to the bottom and you start slowly going up and you can see every portal —
6:56 am
some of them are open, which is one of the things that people are amazed, that the people left portals open when all this was going on, and you're going up and up and up, and it seems endless because the ship is huge. this was a floating palace. you can imagine the people walking up and down, taking in the sun, whatever, etc. we went down the side and captured the whole anchor. there is the name of the titanic on the anchor, we were able to see that. so this, sort of, nostalgic view, in a way, and also a tragic view. imagine seeing nothing and then, lights turn. on and you see an entire i skyscraper in front of you — that's what it was like. there is no words to - encapsulate the feeling of it. seeing the scale of the titanic is what anchored me - into the realness of that i night, of the numbers of lives that were lost.
6:57 am
0k! bottom time expired, return. then we finally started leaving the site. it was a sad moment for me at the time to leave it. it was so short, that the time went by so quick. i'm gonna tell them "no hablo englais". there he is. alright max? it's an incredible experience. you are in this capsule, just like a spacecraft, with your other four travellers, and you go through it and when you come to the surface and they open
6:58 am
the dome, it isjust like somebody snapped theirfingers and all of a sudden, you are back on planet earth. how was it? it was fantastic! how are you doing, jaden? hey! — good. oh, my gosh. what a trip. it feels like i've left earth and now i'm just returning. it feels incredible, thank you. both models are closed in the debris field. so, we've got two samples from the site. which makes me happy. 3,800 metres. there is enough pressure to break the cups. that's pretty good. that's cool. everybody kind of started to go out, and i was trying to gather myself. cheering ship horn toots the ship even blew the horn, which was fantastic. and once i saw stockton,

good morning. welcome to breakfast, with rogerjohnson and nina warhurst. our headlines today: the prime minister will hold talks her new chancellor, jeremy hunt, today as the government tries to salvage its economic credibility. it comes as the governor of the bank of england, andrew bailey, warns that interest rates may need to rise by more than previously expected. the manchester united forward mason greenwood is charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault. an historic night for women's boxing. claressa sheilds beats rival savannah marshall by unanimous decision as she is crowned the undisputed middleweight champion once more.
7:01 am
they became a symbol of a nation's grief and gratitude after the queen's death, and now hundreds of paddingtons left at london landmarks will be donated to charity. good morning. early blustery showers slowly easing in the far north of scotland. elsewhere it's a quieter story — more sunshine coming through, and lighter winds. i'll have all the details coming up shortly. it's sunday 16 october. our main story: the prime minister and chancellor will hold talks today as the government tries to salvage its economic credibility following three weeks of market turmoil and policy u—turns. the new chancellor, jeremy hunt, has said he wants growth underpinned by stability, but some conservative mps are privately discussing trying to eject liz truss from office. here is our political correspondent ben wright. congratulations, mr chancellor.
7:02 am
as the new chancellor, jeremy hunt, and prime minister meet for talks today, they face a daunting task. there will be a new budget in a fortnight, and the government needs this one to calm turmoil in financial markets. but the governor of the bank of england has warned borrowing costs are already likely to rise. we will not hesitate to raise interest rates to meet the inflation target, and as things stand today, my best guess is that inflationary pressures will require a stronger response than we perhaps thought in august. in a statement last night, jeremy hunt said... he said there would now be very difficult decisions both on spending and untaxed, and it is already clear that he plans to junk the taxcutting agenda liz truss promised during the leadership contest. even the us president, joe biden, said he thought the original plan had been a mistake.
7:03 am
but businesses here have defended the prime minister. what she is doing is delivering a broader programme. she has reached the conclusion that doing all the tax cuts at the same time is too much for the markets to sustain in the short term, because there are so many global disruptions. we are seeing every other country with inflationary rises. but the prime minister's hopes of survival could hinge on what she and her chancellor decide over the next two weeks. if that package doesn't work and the markets are still reacting all over the place, then i think she is in considerable trouble. she has admitted mistakes, and if she admits those mistakes and puts them right then i think she could conceivably get beyond this. and many conservative mps are furious liz truss has led the government into this chaos and are talking privately about trying to turf the prime minister out — a precarious place for liz truss to be as she heads into another difficult week.
7:04 am
our political correspondent pete saulljoins us from london. iam i am looking at the front pages of the papers, many of them suggesting jeremy hunt is the real boss, others suggesting the situation for the prime minister isn't tenable. this week anything could happen. that prime minister isn't tenable. this week anything could happen. at this meetin: week anything could happen. at this meeting today _ week anything could happen. at this meeting today at — week anything could happen. at this meeting today at checkers, - week anything could happen. at this meeting today at checkers, it i meeting today at checkers, it represents a chance for liz truss and the chancellor to get away from the noise in westminster. there is plenty of speculation, as you say, in the papers this morning about plots to oust her, so if she can get away from the noise she will perhaps enjoy getting a bit of country air in bucks at checkers and get down to the details of that halloween budget due a week tomorrow at —— bucks. but already it seems that the plan on which she was elected has been dumped by her new chancellor. jeremy hunt made that clear yesterday, including on this programme. it does beg the question who is going to be

leaving those discussions. does the power lie with the prime minister or is it now with her chancellor. in fact, liz truss has a column in the sun on sunday where she said no matter how hard things get, my mission will remain the same. there was one report that another centrepiece of the mini budget will be ditched, the bringing forward of the cut in income tax to next year. that could now be delayed, treasury refusing to confirm or deny that as the case, but certainly it seemed all things are on the table. the prime minister may have bought herself a little bit of time by replacing kwasi kwarteng withjeremy hunt, but for many conservatives, they think she frankly is now beyond repair. they think she frankly is now beyond re air. ., ~' ,, we can get a view now from the leader of the liberal democrats. sir ed daveyjoins us from dorset. good morning to you. thank you very much for getting up early to talk to us this morning. what would you like to see happen?— to see happen? well, first of all, i think there — to see happen? well, first of all, i think there is _ to see happen? well, first of all, i think there is going _

7:07 am
this mess that the conservatives created without that investment, and thatis created without that investment, and that is why i think conservatives are the problem now.— that is why i think conservatives are the problem now. there is some anal sis in are the problem now. there is some analysis in the _ are the problem now. there is some analysis in the sunday _ are the problem now. there is some analysis in the sunday mirror- are the problem now. there is some analysis in the sunday mirror today | analysis in the sunday mirror today which you may or may not have seen from electoral calculus, which is a political consultancy. they have been crunching some numbers and they say that if there was a general election now, the conservatives would win labour would win a71 seats and the lib dems would only when 18, so you are not really capitalising on all the chaos, are you? i so you are not really capitalising on all the chaos, are you? i have to sa that on all the chaos, are you? i have to say that when _ on all the chaos, are you? i have to say that when we _ on all the chaos, are you? i have to say that when we see _ on all the chaos, are you? i have to say that when we see people - on all the chaos, are you? i have to} say that when we see people voting in real ballot boxes, as they have beenin in real ballot boxes, as they have been in the last 12 months or so, it has been the liberal democrats that have been winning. we won three new mps in conservative heartlands in trueblue buckinghamshire, in north shropshire and in east heaven, and on top of that, in the local elections across the uk, it was the liberal democrats who got the best result of any political party. and i think the position we are taking
7:08 am
about fairer taxes and real investment, action on the green economy as well as trying to care for people who desperately need better nhs, that actually does time with people when they hear that message. i think the real problem we have, though, is that unless we get rid of the conservatives, we can't have that debate. we can't have the debate about a hopeful future. now, jeremy hunt may have made some changes, may have got rid of much of liz truss's economic policy, but he is still keeping getting rid of the cap on bankers deposit bonuses. he still hasn't done a windfall tax on the oil and gas companies and their super profits. the conservatives are still defending bankers making huge bonuses and oil and gas companies making billions of pounds of profit. that is at a time when people are suffering, with high mortgages, with high energy bills, with high food
7:09 am
prices. 50 i am afraid, even under the new regime at number 11 downing street, the conservatives are still getting it wrong. 50 street, the conservatives are still getting it wrong-— street, the conservatives are still getting it wrong. so they will be a bud . et, getting it wrong. so they will be a budget. and _ getting it wrong. so they will be a budget, and jeremy _ getting it wrong. so they will be a budget, and jeremy hunt - getting it wrong. so they will be a budget, and jeremy hunt has - getting it wrong. so they will be a budget, and jeremy hunt has said getting it wrong. so they will be a l budget, and jeremy hunt has said it will be a budget at the end of the month rather than just will be a budget at the end of the month rather thanjust an will be a budget at the end of the month rather than just an update. you have said some of the things you will do, you have said you will put the bankers' bonuses are back in place effectively, you have talked about the tax on oil and gas companies. would you keep the rise from 19 to 25% in income tax? absolutely. we need to make sure that the finances add up so that the markets and mortgage rates don't go up. let me give you another example of things we do to help people. the energy package that the government put in is nowhere near enough, particularly for people on lower incomes, and for businesses. i have been speaking to businesses in my constituency who feel that the six—month package is nowhere near long enough to enable them to make decisions about investment, and
7:10 am
unemployment. the government seem completely out of touch. i think they are just taking people for granted, and let's hope we get a budget that improves things, but i'm afraid ifeel a lot of budget that improves things, but i'm afraid i feel a lot of damage budget that improves things, but i'm afraid ifeel a lot of damage has already been done. afraid i feel a lot of damage has already been done.— afraid i feel a lot of damage has already been done. thank you for talkin: to already been done. thank you for talking to us- _ the manchester united footballer mason greenwood has been charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault. he is due to appear in court tomorrow. our reporter dave guest is outside old trafford. dave, what more can you tell us about this case? good morning. mason greenwood hasn't been too old old trafford since january of this year, that is when he was initially arrested. that follows allegations made in posts online. at the time, injanuary, manchester united announced that he would not be playing for or training with the club until further notice. of course, the police began investing those allegations against the player, and he was released on
7:11 am
bail pending those investigations. yesterday the police arrested mason greenwood for allegedly breaching the terms of his bail conditions. later in the afternoon the crown prosecution service announced that the player had been charged with attempted rape, with engaging in coercive or controlling behaviour and with assault. the attempted rape is alleged to have happened in october of last year. the coercive behaviour is said to have occurred in a time period from november 2018, and the assault is said to have happened in december of last year. now, the crown prosecution service in making that announcement yesterday reminded everyone that these are now live criminal proceedings and that mason greenwood is entitled to a fair trial. they have want anyone against doing anything, make any comment or posting anything online or anywhere else, which could adversely affect that right of the player. now, mason greenwood is due to face a
7:12 am
magistrate in manchester tomorrow. thank you. parts of central leeds were evacuated last night after a large fire tore through an historic building. flames could be seen engulfing the leonardo building, a former council property which had been sold to developers for conversion into student accommodation. the fire is now under control and a safety cordon has been put in place. a large fire has broken out at a jail in the iranian capital, tehran, where hundreds of political prisoners are held. officials say eight people were injured and it is now under control. it is the latest unrest following weeks of protests over the death in custody of a young woman who was detained for allegedly not wearing her hijab correctly. azadeh moshiri reports. flames engulfing iran's notorious evin prison. in the midst of widespread unrest, it is a scene that frightened iranians both inside and outside the country. officials say a riot broke out between inmates. what people saw on social media
7:13 am
was fires raging across the compound and gunshots heard in the distance. scenes of riot police and firefighters rushing to the prison did little to calm people's fears. for the inmates' families, it is pure panic. they rushed to evin, clogging the roads with traffic, trying to find out if their loved ones were safe. but evin is also known for housing hundreds of political prisoners as well as dual nationals, which is what prompted this tweet by ned price, the us state department spokesperson. the incident will likely lead to further scrutiny from abroad. this is what us presidentjoe biden said when asked about the fire. the iranian government is so oppressive, we can't have
7:14 am
anything but an enormous amount of respect for those people marching in the streets. and it will add to the anger within the country as protests continue in more than a dozen cities. in ardabil they were throwing stones at authorities over the weekend, shouting, "death to the dictator," a reference to iran's supreme leader. the security forces are still clamping down on dissent as they are in this scene, also believed to be in ardabil. it has now been more than a month since the process began. they are still led by women and schoolgirls, but also involve people from all walks of life. and amidst a crackdown by the government and internet blackouts, it is clear the dissent is far from over. china's president, xijinping, is expected to cement his grip on power as the communist party congress gets under way in beijing today.
7:15 am
it is understood that delegates are likely to hand mr xi an historic third term as party chief, effectively granting him power for life. it is exactly 7:15 am this is bbc breakfast. let's take you outside. look at that. what can you say! greater manchester. gosh, looks like every day. we greater manchester. gosh, looks like eve da .~ ., greater manchester. gosh, looks like eve da .~ . ., ., , every day. we are lucky to have this as our view — every day. we are lucky to have this as our view outside _ every day. we are lucky to have this as our view outside the _ every day. we are lucky to have this as our view outside the office. - every day. we are lucky to have this as our view outside the office. the | as our view outside the office. the sun coming up. find as our view outside the office. the sun coming urn-— sun coming up. and not too chilly this morning _ sun coming up. and not too chilly this morning coming _ sun coming up. and not too chilly this morning coming in. - sun coming up. and not too chilly this morning coming in. no, - sun coming up. and not too chilly this morning coming in. no, it. sun coming up. and not too chilly this morning coming in. no, it is| this morning coming in. no, it is all right. mild. somebody said earlier it was supposed to be very mild for halloween. i don't know how they can tell that very far away. trick—or—treating in your shorts! maybe. laughs. nice morning by the looks of it where you are! yes, an indication of perhaps how much clear sky we have out there and what a beautiful day we're going to
7:16 am
have. you're quite right, it is mild. temperatures will probably pick around 18 degrees, just above average for the time of year. there are some showers still though remaining because of the low pressure responsible for the blustery showers yesterday as well. the isobars are opening up to quite things done before the next batch of flat weather arrives, overnight tonight. don't worry too much. you can see those of white in scotland, on the chilly side. a touch of the topsis on the chilly side. a touch of the tops is on the tops of mountains turning to snow but they will ease through the day. generally, we have a lot of blue sky, sunshine to look out for, but as we go through the latter stage of the afternoon, about three o'clock, three o'clock, four o'clock, across cornwall and down to dorset we will see some cloud and rain arriving by the end of the day. but really at the end of the day so enjoy the sunshine, the pleasant feeling, 12—18. it will be
7:17 am
increasingly wet and windy overnight. racking up at quite a pace in the heaviest of the rain looks likely to be into northern ireland, northern england, pushing up ireland, northern england, pushing up into scotland through the early hours of the morning. we might see this trailing weather front and the south—east first thing. early birds on monday morning, you may gets caught in showers. that should be easing away during the morning rush hour. the low pressure scented to the far north—west is going to once again push and plenty of sharp showers through northern ireland and scotland. some will be happy with the odd rumble of thunder but it will be another beautiful day for many. the winds will generally be lighter across the country and still from a largely south—westerly direction, so still a mild source for this time of year. looking at highs again of 10—18. around a couple of degrees up, they should be really for the middle part of october. the little ridge of high pressure stays with us as we go into the first part of the week. lows are
7:18 am
threatening into the south—west. it looks likely that the best of the dry weather as we go through our week ahead will be at the beginning part of the week. turning more unseasonable — i should say more seasonal and the temperatures falling back to where they should be as the week progresses. back to you. we can probably safely say that roger will keep his knees away for trick—or—treating. god, i hope so. laughs. the aim is to frighten people, isn't it? you don't want to see my knees, they are way too knobbly! i wouldn't get them out. thanks for that. laughs. good morning! in the national mourning which followed the death of the queen, one of the more unusual aspects was the arrival of paddington bear. in fact, hundreds of paddington bears. the soft toys were left outside royal residences as a tribute to her majesty and that brilliant sketch during her platinum jubilee celebrations. now the bears are being professionally cleaned and donated to a children's charity, but not before a select group of them had an official engagement with the queen
7:19 am
consort, camilla. our royal correspondent daniela relph has more. keeping an eye on the hundreds of bears that have been left in tribute to her mother—in—law, camilla queen consort was photographed in clarence house last thursday, 6a years to the day since the first paddington book was published. after the queen's death, every royal resident was surrounded by a sea of flowers. and in amongst those floral tributes were the paddington bears, so many of them — in london, windsor, sandringham, balmoral — snuck in between the flowers, a nod to the queen's specialjubilee surprise when hejoined herfor tea. thank you for having me. i do hope you are having a lovelyjubilee. tea? — oh, yes please. even other members of the royal family noticed the impact of paddington as they thanked crowds
7:20 am
in the days after the queen's death. i was saying, i think paddington might have knocked corgis off the top spot. after the funeral, the flowers and bea rs were carefully cleared away and moved to buckingham palace, clarence house and the royal parks nursery in hyde park. they will now be professionally cleaned and given to the children that barnardo�*s cares for in the weeks ahead. i mean, it's absolutely wonderful that we've managed to find a home donating the bears to barnardo�*s is a tribute in itself. for more than 30 years the queen was the charity patron, carrying out a number of engagements for them, before handing that duty over to the then duchess of cornwall six years ago. barnardo�*s says the bears will be well looked after by the children they support, and they will be told the story of this special group of bears and how they came to be donated. daniela relph, bbc news.
7:21 am
the platinum jubilee was really unforgettable. we're joined now by tom jarvis from the royal parks charity, which manages eight london parks, including stjames's, and by lynn perry from barnardo�*s. lovely for barnardo�*s, hey? can you hear me, lynn? absolutely wonderful. we are deeply honoured to be given these bears for children and young people that we serve here in barnardo�*s. it is a beautiful tribute and we couldn't be any more honoured to be receiving them for our children here. and actually, tom, it does logistically solve a problem, doesn't it, because there was a point in the morning where people were asked to stop bringing teddy bears and marmalade sandwiches.
7:22 am
yes, it is always a challenge when people _ yes, it is always a challenge when people leave toys out on that type of environment, but the weather was kind was— of environment, but the weather was kind was during that period. we managed — kind was during that period. we managed to collect them all. there are around — managed to collect them all. there are around 400 toys that were collected, all taken to be professionally cleaned and passed on to barnardo's, and i can't think of a better_ to barnardo's, and i can't think of a better use — to barnardo's, and i can't think of a better use for them than to go on to children — a better use for them than to go on to children who will love them and care for— to children who will love them and care for them moving forward. lynn, — care for them moving forward. lynn, the _ care for them moving forward. lynn, the queen had a long—standing relationship with barnardo's, didn't she? she did, that's right, the queen was our patron for some time, as you just observed in your small clip there, and it is a real honour to ours now to be able to take these bears, which were left for the queen, and to be able to give them to children and young people in our services. we work with children and young people right across the uk, and it will be a real privilege for
7:23 am
us to be able to give them to children, and also to explain the relationship and the support that we had. we have always enjoyed royal patronage, and one of the things that helps us immensely with is raising the awareness of the needs of children and young people, and so a lovely connection here that's enduring, and we will be able to tell the story of the way that we have been able to enjoy royal support over the years, and that lovely connection to the royal family, so as we give these bears, of course they will be going to very good homes, but we will also be able to tell that story of the queen's support for the charity, and how deeply honoured we were to receive
7:24 am
that. ijust that. i just briefly, lynn, that. ijust briefly, lynn, and then we will go to time, give us an idea of the children who will be receiving these? the young people and children receiving them will be in our family support services and particularly across london. we will also be giving these bears to children who might be in foster care, to children and young people who we will be working closely with because they need targeted support, and i can't tell you just how grateful and how meaningful it will be a thing to receive one of these bears for our children. tom, what did you think, when you saw those it was spontaneous, wasn't it, the paddington thing. the flowers were kind of inevitable, in a good way, but the paddington, it was a spontaneous thing. what did you think? you saw all of these bears arriving?
7:25 am
as you say, it started off with flowers, thousands of flowers, then you started to see the paddingtons appear than that. and i think we all saw that wonderful clip in relation to thejubilee, they'd obviously touched people quite closely in terms of their interaction and restarted to see paddingtons appear, not a great number but you started to see them appear in the flowers. it was obviously people, they are getting the opportunity to have that sort of personal connection and what they were living there for her majesty, and also to pay their respects in a way that had a sort of quirky sort of side, relatable, the wonderful sort of saw at the jubilee there. and perfectly in keeping with paddington bosman story, his adventures. and i'm sure the park keepers all enjoyed the marmalade syringes as well! marmalade sandwiches lunch for the week. thank you very much, tom jarvis, and lynn, the barnardo's
7:26 am
chief executive. good morning, laura, what's on the programme today? goodness me, don't we all have to take a moment to just think, what on earth hasjust happened over the last seven days to the government? poll ratings crashing for liz truss, sacking the chancellor, getting a new one, jeremy hunt going out yesterday saying he was basically going to dig lots of the prime minister's plans. well, i have been speaking to him for our programme and we will hear at langellotti plans to do, and i've also been asking him who is really in charge with lots of conservatives worried that he is the one now at the wheel instead of the prime minister who has been under attack. we will also hear from the labour party on their plans for business and what they make of this new era under hunter and truss, and another couple of people including former cabinet minister matt hancock. i wonder what
7:27 am
he says about the tory writing and whether liz truss can really survive. i hope to see you at nine o'clock and bbc one. another quiet one then, laura! yes, nothing much really happening around here. laughs. 7:26am. you might have heard by now but the bbc is celebrating its centenary this year, and that includes our philharmonic orchestra. the orchestra can trace its roots back to 1922, when it would playjust down the road from here at old trafford for an early bbc radio station called 2zy. since then it has performed in all sorts of venues, and with all sorts of other artists. this montage contains some flashing images. orchestral music.

when the very best come together. they both absolutely went for it, and yes there were a few technical things you could say about range and distance, but at the end of the day claressa shields's hand speed, while savannah marshall has that immense power, you have to land that shot as clean as possible and if you cannot thenit clean as possible and if you cannot then it is difficult against someone like that. what a fantastic spectacle, and i must say, for every single fighter on the card, it wasn'tjust single fighter on the card, it wasn't just that. single fighter on the card, it wasn'tjust that. the co— main event wasn'tjust that. the co— main event was exceptional, and i think we have seen some future superstars, which is brilliant for the sport for those coming through.— is brilliant for the sport for those coming through. what does it say that it was at _ coming through. what does it say that it was at the _ coming through. what does it say that it was at the 02? _ coming through. what does it say that it was at the 02? what - coming through. what does it say that it was at the 02? what does| coming through. what does it say. that it was at the 02? what does it tell you about the growth? in that it was at the 02? what does it tell you about the growth?- tell you about the growth? in the ress tell you about the growth? in the press conference _ tell you about the growth? in the press conference after, _ tell you about the growth? in the press conference after, the - tell you about the growth? in the - press conference after, the promoter was saying a lot of people said to

it makes the level much better. we have to ensure there are plenty of pathways for talent to be met with opportunity, and then it is limitless, isn't it?- opportunity, and then it is limitless, isn't it? �* ., ,, , limitless, isn't it? and for shields and marshall. _ limitless, isn't it? and for shields and marshall, it _ limitless, isn't it? and for shields and marshall, it would _ limitless, isn't it? and for shields and marshall, it would be - limitless, isn't it? and for shields and marshall, it would be great . limitless, isn't it? and for shields| and marshall, it would be great to see a rematch, wouldn't it? yes. and marshall, it would be great to see a rematch, wouldn't it? yes, and savannah will— see a rematch, wouldn't it? yes, and savannah will learn _ see a rematch, wouldn't it? yes, and savannah will learn a _ see a rematch, wouldn't it? yes, and savannah will learn a lot _ see a rematch, wouldn't it? yes, and savannah will learn a lot from - see a rematch, wouldn't it? yes, and savannah will learn a lot from that i savannah will learn a lot from that fight, as will peter, and those two learn a lot. i think what was brilliant is before the last round, i don't know if you headed between rounds, but he said to her whatever happens now, i am proud of you either way, happens now, i am proud of you eitherway, because happens now, i am proud of you either way, because you are a fighter. what a thing to say to a fighter, to give them nothing to lose and go out give them everything in that last round. like i say, i am gutted for savannah, it is horrible losing, but if you are going to step into that arena and try and live your dreams, this is part of what can happen. it can break your heart as well, but she will get strength from this and come back, and i think everyone would love to see that rematch. and if she makes those adjustments, you never know. she

7:37 am
we'll improve on a few things, be better next week. but i'm very happy with the win, no doubt about that. after a year's delay, anticipation and excitement for this world cup was greater than ever — a global event amongst rugby league's close—knit family. the wait, though, frustratingly went on. major technical problems curtailed the opening ceremony. it was left to the samoan players to make their own introductions. england needed something special, the occasion deserved it. youngsterjack welsby provided it. england's world cup charge was up and running. england find a little bit of magic. many have tipped dom young to be a star of this tournament. absolutely spectacular! england are on a roll. two tries from him, and it isn't hard to see why. it's a culmination of circus tricks and superman. if the first half scoreline was surprisingly comfortable, the second was quite astonishing.
7:38 am
kallum watkins easing any lingering concerns before elliott whitehead got the celebrations started. england, incredibly, taking the score past 50 in a dazzling display of strength. england unstoppable. many might have expected england, the hosts, to win their opening game, but even the wildest optimists wouldn't have predicted how wide the margin would be. as the posts come down, the mowers go out and the clean—up operation begins at stjames's park, a moment to reflect on what was an exemplary performance by england that will have every other team in this competition really sitting up and taking notice. after a long wait, a slightly bumpy beginning, the perfect start for england. over to new zealand, where the the women's rugby union world cup continued this morning as wales fell to a 56—12 defeat against the hosts. the reigning world champions ran in ten tries. wales did mange two of their own but were outclassed in front
7:39 am
of a sell—out crowd. despite the result, wales are still in a good position to secure their place in the knockout stages. england's reece james looks set to miss the upcoming world cup in qatar. chelsea confirmed he is expected to be out for at least eight weeks with a knee injury. the 22—year—old right—back picked up the injury in chelsea's 2—0 win at ac milan in the champions league on tuesday. ethan hayter has won great britain's second gold medal at the world track cycling championships. after being part of the victorious men's team pursuit squad, he has won individual gold, successfully defending the title he won last year in the omnium, finishing up with the points race. he goes again in the madison tonight. meanwhile, josie knight won bronze in the individual pursuit. but disappointment for laura kenny and neah evans in the madison.
7:40 am
they were well in contention in fourth overall when this happened. laura kenny didn't stand a chance, as the rider from new zealand veered out in front of her. neah evans had to pick things up from there, and finished fifth. hugely disappointing for laura kenny at these world championships. we did see her at the end walking off, so we know she is ok, but fingers crossed she is ok.— we know she is ok, but fingers crossed she is ok. was a proper, unavoidable... _ crossed she is ok. was a proper, unavoidable... into _ crossed she is ok. was a proper, unavoidable... into such - crossed she is ok. was a proper, unavoidable... into such a - crossed she is ok. was a proper, i unavoidable... into such a dangerous sort at unavoidable... into such a dangerous sport at isn't — unavoidable... into such a dangerous sport at isn't it? _ and it must be horrible when it is completely out of your control, just literally sneaks up on you. stand completely out of your control, 'ust literally sneaks up on you.�* literally sneaks up on you. and that competition — literally sneaks up on you. and that competition continues _ literally sneaks up on you. and that competition continues this - competition continues this afternoon. competition continues this afternoon-— competition continues this afternoon. ,, ~ ., “ afternoon. es. and it is all on bbc -- es. afternoon. es. and it is all on bbc -- ves- and _ afternoon. es. and it is all on bbc -- ves- and the — afternoon. es. and it is all on bbc -- yes. and the reason _ afternoon. es. and it is all on bbc -- yes. and the reason there i afternoon. es. and it is all on bbc l -- yes. and the reason there wasn't any football — -- yes. and the reason there wasn't any football is _ -- yes. and the reason there wasn't any football is because _ -- yes. and the reason there wasn't any football is because match - -- yes. and the reason there wasn't any football is because match of-

and pushing up into northern ireland as well. enjoy the warmth, temperatures picking up on 18 degrees. as we go through the evening and overnight, there will be a spell of very wet weather, some heavy rain through northern ireland, northern england, moving into scotland and accompanied by some gale force gusts of wind as well. it will be a mild start, some trailing weather fronts likely to produce some light rain first thing in the morning across east anglia and down through essex and kent, but that should ease away. on the whole, most of england and wales once again seeing some dry and settled weather. closest to the low pressure still for northern ireland and scotland, seeing some blustery showers, and some of these could be heavy with some of these could be heavy with some rumbles of thunder mixed in there as well. the wind is still quite strong to the north where we have those showers, lighter elsewhere and still are relatively warm story. 18 degrees the high across england and wales. it looks likely as we go into tuesday that we
7:44 am
will continue to see this high pressure dominating the weather story, but lows are waiting out in the atlantic, and they will then tend to come in, and once they do they will be with us for the rest of they will be with us for the rest of the week. monday and tuesday a good deal of dry weather around but still some sharper showers and some stronger winds from wednesday onwards. . ~ stronger winds from wednesday onwards. ., ~ , ., , . onwards. thank you very much, louise. louise _ onwards. thank you very much, louise. louise disappeared i onwards. thank you very much, louise. louise disappeared forl onwards. thank you very much, | louise. louise disappeared for a moment, i think possibly everyone at home saw us meeting our next guest, so you will know what is coming. apologies for that technical error. if you were watching breakfast yesterday you'll know that everyone in england aged 50 or over is now eligible to book their covid booster and flu jabs, and that rollout has now begun. to help deliver this, the nhs is calling for volunteers across england to help at vaccination sites. joining us now is sam ward from the royal voluntary service. nice to see you again. you too. this

7:50 am
2022 marks 100 years of the bbc. goodness me. what began with a single radio transmission has transformed into a global broadcaster. in that time, it has covered the biggest events of successive generations, working to inform, educate and entertain the nation. and throughout those hundred years, the bbc has been pushing the boundaries of broadcasting, embracing and sometimes even creating the latest technology. 100 years of broadcasting — it is amazing when you think of it. you don't look a day over 30. it is amazing when you think of it. and this studio in alexandra palace has a very special place in bbc history. in 1936, the bbc television service was launched right here on this spot. performers and orchestra would have been here. and a huge camera here! she sings. and what viewers saw was this.
7:51 am
this is adele dixon performing with the bbc television orchestra. she is singing a song called television, which was written especially for the opening night of... ..television. it was broadcast to viewers across london and the home counties through the transmitter on alexandra palace, marking the beginning of what was then referred to as high definition television. yeah, don't laugh. before that, television was just an odd fuzzy experiment to small selected audiences. and behind—the—scenes there was a bit of a battle going on. see, the bbc had actually opened up two studios at alexandra palace. this, studio b was a mechanical system which was made byjohn logie baird and it produced an image like this. meanwhile, in studio a, they were trialling an electrical system by em! and what they would do is they would alternate studios and systems on different days so they could compare the results and it turned out that emi's images
7:52 am
at 25 frames per second were double the quality of the baird system. it had other advantages too. the baird camera was enormous. the emi one was somewhat more portable. and if you are filming with the baird system, you need quite a lot of make—up too. well, this is how it was, playmates. black and white, you see? and a bit of blue down each side of the nose. very sexy. the emi system on the other hand could capture a well lit studio perfectly fine, so the winner really wasn't hard to choose. under the lid of the emitron was this, a cathode—ray tube which is basically an old tv working in reverse, capturing the pictures instead of showing them. the emitron stayed in use without much change for many, many years. the coronation of king george vi was the first time the cameras were used outside and the broadcast
7:53 am
was watched by about 50,000 viewers. we have got two of our cameras high up and the gate ourselves. _ however, it was the coronation of his daughter that really brought television into our homes. 70 years later, many millions of us watched the queen's funeral on smart tvs, phones, laptops, or on huge screens around the country, demonstrating just how far technology has moved on. now, if you are a fan of radio, i mean, really a fan of radio, then you will know what this is. pips they are called the pips, and when you hear them, you will know it is something o'clock. i find them quite soothing. but have you ever wondered why they exist? ships. the pips tell ships what time it is and help them navigate. at the height of the british empire, britain had a lot more ships than anyone else anywhere in the world and their maps all needed to follow a strict format so they could figure out
7:54 am
where they were. the centre of all british nautical charts was the greenwich meridian, 0 degrees, and each vessel also kept a fancy clock on board that told the local time at the meridian and helped them to calculate their position really precisely. but over long journeys, how could the captains keep those clocks accurate to the second? well, to bring in the new year in 1923, the bbc ran an experiment to broadcast the midnight bongs of big ben on the radio. big ben bongs it was a bonging success, and the following year the first fully accessible time signal, the greenwich time signal, started to be broadcast every hour — and it hasn't stopped since. the pips, as they were known, were generated by a swinging pendulum fitted with electrical contacts. so now you could have accurate greenwich mean time literally anywhere that you had a radio. the pips have become legendary, a symbol of bbc radio, and who better to tell us about them than another legend
7:55 am
of bbc radio, tony blackburn. archive: welcome along i to the tony blackburn show this morning for this tuesday 9th december. my thanks, as always tojohn dunn for swinging us up until the seven o'clock hour. the pips have always been a favourite of mine since 1967 when ijoined the bbc and opened up radio 1. archive: good morning everyone, welcome to the exciting _ new sound of radio 1. everybody else finds it a bit weird that i like them but i do. i love them. on my programmes, i used to promote them, particularly as my favourite pip is always the last one because it is slightly extended. the original clock that kept the time still sits in the museum at the royal observatory. in the '60s, though, an atomic clock started doing the job which stayed in use until the 1990s, when it
7:56 am
transmitted its last pips from the royal observatory. ever since then, the bbc has generated its own pips from its atomic clock buried deep inside broadcasting house which uses gps signals to stay synchronised. so the next time you hear these, you know that they come from this. pips meanwhile at manchester's science and industry museum, 100 years of the bbc is being celebrated with an exhibit featuring broadcast artefacts, plus a few more recent additions. this funky—looking box was a prototype which was an early part of the bbc�*s research and development project for storing your data yourself, so the idea was that the device would keep track of what you are listening to and watching, but that data was just yours, unless you chose for it not to be. it was inspired by a new vision that sir tim berners—lee has for the web, to rethink the ownership of our data. back in 2018, he told us about what he calls a mid—course correction for the internet,
7:57 am
an idea called solid. instead, imagine a world where before you use an app it says to you, where do you want to store this data? all across the data spectrum. you have complete control over your private and personal data, which is very exciting, an exciting vision, i think for those people who get an inkling of what it's going to be like. right now when we interact with companies over the internet, often without even thinking about it, we give them our data — lots of it. every website, app or streaming platform gathers information on us — our name and age, what we like to share, ourfiles, photos, infact all of our online browsing habits.

platforms use this data to create recommendations, improve algorithms, or sometimes just for the purpose of selling it. but tim berners—lee's idea turns this on its head, giving power back to the individual. with solid, as users travel across the internet, all their data is stored in something called a pod. this is an individual�*s databank in the cloud which only they, or those they give permission to, can see. so instead of the data freely flowing to companies when they want to access it, they have to ask for the user's permission. if this is approved, they can look into the pod to view or add information. with pods, because you are in control, you can share what you have watched or listened to on one platform with the others, something the companies would never want you to be doing, but it means you could get more personalised recommendations. and if you want to stop
7:59 am
using a service, you can cut off access to your data. or you could, even more dramatically, delete the pod, destroy all the data, and remove all trace of anything you have ever done on the internet. yes, it is a big endeavour, but it is not a ridiculously huge endeavour. what is exciting right now is just at the point when we should be broadcasting this, we now have also a start—up, inrupt. four years on, it is a reality with bbc r&d working with inrupt to bring it to life. charlie, you have invited me to a party but it is no ordinary party. no, no, it's not. it is bbc together, it's a watch party, but the particular difference here is your data is being protected in a new way. watch parties allow friends to stream the same content at the same time, and they have exploded in the last few years. something like a third of under 30s actually had a watch party in the last 12 months, and it is really growing,
8:00 am
so we have kind of built on the bbc�*s watch party and added the data pod element to it. as users log in, behind—the—scenes the software creates a pod for each person. here we go. and when you stop watching, this bbc trial shows you what data has been collected. we couldn't do a watch party without storing some data about you. the difference here is we are storing that data away from us, in your pod that you control. solid is just one of many ideas aiming to help us own our data. others, even allowing us to sell it, have failed to take off at scale — maybe the incentives haven't been right. but that could change. bbc r&d and tim berners—lee certainly think it might, if you would like 100 years of the bbc in 23 minutes,

8:03 am
the new chancellorjeremy hunt has said he wants growth "underpinned by stability" but some conservative mps are privately talking about ejecting liz truss from office. here's our political correspondent ben wright. reporter: congratulations, mr chancellor. _ as the new chancellorjeremy hunt and prime minister meet for talks today, they face a daunting task. there will be a new budget in a fortnight and the government needs this one to calm turmoil on financial markets. but the governor of the bank of england has warned borrowing costs are already likely to rise. we will not hesitate to raise interest rates to meet the inflation target. and, as things stand today, my best guess is that inflationary pressures will require a stronger response than we perhaps thought in august. in a statement last night, jeremy hunt said the government had gone too far too fast in cutting taxes without working out how to pay for it. he said there would now be very difficult decisions both on spending and on tax, and it's already clear that he plans to junk the tax—cutting
8:04 am
agenda liz truss promised during the tory leadership contest. even the us presidentjoe biden said last night that he thought the government's original plan had been a mistake, but ministers here have defended the prime minister. what she's doing is delivering a broad programme. she has reached the conclusion that doing all the tax changes at the same time is too much for the markets to sustain in the short term because there are so many global disruptions across the piece. we are seeing every other country with inflationary rises. but the prime minister's hopes of survival could hinge on what she and her chancellor decide over the next two weeks. if that package doesn't work, and the markets are still reacting all over the place, then i think she is in considerable trouble. she's admitted mistakes and if she admits those mistakes and puts them right, then i think she could conceivably get beyond this. and many conservative mps are furious liz truss has led the government into this chaos and are talking privately
8:05 am
about trying to turf the prime minister out. a precarious place for liz truss to be as she heads into another difficult week. ben wright, bbc news. our political correspondent pete saulljoins us from london. conversations between liz truss and jeremy hunt are expected at chequers today. lots of talk in the papers this morning about, you know, plots behind—the—scenes to oust liz truss. i mean, it's hard to imagine that this week will be as turbulent as last but i guess you never know? yeah, i suppose a chat today in the buckinghamshire countryside to get away from the noise of westminster, as you say, all kinds of speculation in the sunday papers about plots to replace the prime minister, various different names being bandied out as would—be successors. but her and her
8:06 am
brand—new chancellor will get their heads down and work on that budget thatis heads down and work on that budget that is due on halloween. that i think is going to be absolutely massive now. as you are hearing, a lot of conservative mps will wait and see if that economic statement from jeremy hunt will be enough to calm the markets but i suppose the problem as far as liz truss is concerned as it's already clear to the agenda that got him elected by conservative members is going up in smoke. jeremy hunt made that clear in a series of interviews yesterday including on this programme, nothing really is off the table now in terms of spending cuts and even tax rises. one newspaper report this morning suggests that another centrepiece of the not so many budget bringing forward other cut of the basic rate income tax is also now going to be shelved. the treasury not confirming or denying that particular report. i suppose the other question now, as we look ahead to these talks, who was actually going to be leading them? jeremy hunt increasingly in a lot of people's view are starting to look more and more like a caretaker

prime minister.— prime minister. interesting. pete, thank ou prime minister. interesting. pete, thank you very _ prime minister. interesting. pete, thank you very much _ prime minister. interesting. pete, thank you very much indeed. i the manchester united footballer mason greenwood has been charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault. he's due to appear in court tomorrow. our reporter dave guest is outside old trafford. dave, what more can you tell us about this case? yes, good morning. mason greenwood hasn't been here at old trafford since january this year. that's when he was initially arrested. that arrest followed allegations made against him in online posts. at that time, the club said he would not be playing for or training with united until further notice. playing for or training with united untilfurther notice. he playing for or training with united until further notice. he was released on bail as police continued their investigations. then yesterday, he was arrested for allegedly breaching the terms of his bail conditions. now later, the crown prosecution service said that he was being charged with attempted
8:08 am
rape, getting involved in coercive and controlling behaviour, and assault. now the alleged rape is said to have happened in october of last year and the assault in december of last year and the coercive behaviour are said to have occurred in a time period from november 2018 stop now all of these charges relate to one female complainant. the crown prosecution service have been keen to stress and remind everybody that these are now live criminal proceedings and that this player has a right to a fair trial and they have warned anyone against making any comments or posting anything online or anywhere else which could undermine that right to a fair trial. the play is due to face magistrates in manchester tomorrow morning. thank ou. parts of central leeds were evacuated last night after a large fire tore through an historic building. flames could be seen engulfing the leonardo building, a former council property which had been sold to developers for conversion into student accommodation.
8:09 am
the fire is now under control and a safety cordon has been put in place. a large fire has broken out at a jail in the iranian capital tehran where hundreds of political prisoners are held. officials say eight people were injured and it's now under control. it's the latest unrest following weeks of protests over the death in custody of a young woman who was detained for allegedly not wearing her hijab correctly. azadeh moshiri reports. flames engulfing iran's notorious evin prison in the midst of widespread unrest. it's a scene that frightened iranians both inside and outside the country. officials say a riot broke out between inmates. what people saw on social media was fires raging across the compound and gunshots heard in the distance. scenes of riot police and firefighters rushing to the prison did little to calm people's fears. for the inmates' families, it's pure panic.
8:10 am
they rushed to evin clogging the roads with traffic, trying to find out if their loved ones were safe. but evin is also known for housing hundreds of political prisoners, as well as dual nationals, which is what prompted this tweet by ned price, the us state department's spokesperson. the incident will likely lead to further scrutiny from abroad. this is what us presidentjoe biden said when asked about the fire. the iranian government is so oppressive. you can't have anything but enormous amount of respect for those people marching in the streets. and it will add to the anger within the country, as protests continue in more than a dozen cities. they were throwing stones
8:11 am
at authorities over the weekend, shouting "death to the dictator" — a reference to iran's supreme leader. the security forces are still clamping down on dissent as they are in this scene, also believed to be in erbil. it's now been more than a month since the protests began. they're still led by women and schoolgirls, but also involve people from all walks of life. and, amidst a crackdown by the government and internet blackouts, it's clear the dissent is far from over. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. china's president xi jinping is expected to cement his grip on power as the communist party congress gets under way in beijing today. it's understood that delegates are likely to hand mr xi an historic third term as party chief, effectively granting him powerfor life. more than 1,000 paddington bears and other soft toys, which were left outside royal
8:12 am
residences in tribute to the queen, are being donated to the children's charity barnardo's. the bears will be professionally cleaned then delivered over the coming weeks, but, first, a select group of them had an official engagement with the queen consort camilla, as our royal correspondent daniela relph explains. keeping an eye on the hundreds of bears that have been left in tribute to her mother—in—law, camilla, queen consort, was photographed in clarence house last thursday, 64 years to the day since the first paddington book was published. after the queen's death, every royal residence was surrounded by a sea of flowers and in amongst those floral tributes were the paddington bears, so many of them, in london, windsor, sandringham, balmoral, snuck in between the flowers, a nod to the queen's specialjubilee surprise when hejoined herfor tea. thank you for having me.
8:13 am
i do hope you're having a lovelyjubilee. tea? oh, yes, please! even other members of the royal family noticed the impact of paddington as they thanked crowds in the days after the queen's death. i think paddington might knock the corgi off the top spot now. | the corgis won't take that very well. - after the funeral, the flowers and bears were carefully cleared away and moved to buckingham palace, clarence house, and the royal parks nursery in hyde park. they will now be professionally cleaned and given to the children that barnardos cares for in the weeks ahead. i mean, it's absolutely wonderful that we've managed to find a home for these bears. they were all left there. paddington was left in paddington station seeking a home. these bears were left in the royal parks effectively seeking a home and it's wonderful to think that all of these bears will go to children who will appreciate them and love
8:14 am
them for many years. donating the bears to barnardos is a tribute in itself. for more than 30 years, the queen was the charity's patron, carrying out a number of engagements for them before handing that duty over to the then duchess of cornwall six years ago. barnardos says the bears will be well looked after by the children they support and they will be told the story of this special group of bears and how they came to be donated. daniela relph, bbc news. all of those paddingtons to a good time in the marmalade sandwiches? did they all get eaten? probably. that is on the lunch menu for ten days, marmalade sandwiches. let's return now to our main story, which is the turmoil within the conservative party
8:15 am
and the government and its effect on our economy. liz truss is meeting her new chancellorjeremy hunt this weekend in a bid to steady the ship, so let's take a few minutes to reflect on recent events with two seasoned westminster watchers, mo hussein and martha gill. good morning to you both. take us inside number ten, lots of the papers today talking about plots to overthrow liz truss and various machinations. i know she is at chequers, but how concerned will they be inside number ten? it will they be inside number ten? it will be reall , they be inside number ten? it will be really, really _ they be inside number ten? it will be really, really concerning. - they be inside number ten? lit ll be really, really concerning. there will be lots of distrust and adding to the turmoil, adding to the chaos, and the appointment ofjeremy hunt

is effectively outsourcing now some of the power and responsibility he has within one day undone her economic plan. he is called time on her economics and setting out a new vision. when you are a number ten, when you want to be in office and in power, and if you can't really be that, it's quite a difficult environment to operate in. martha, when he comes _ environment to operate in. martha, when he comes in _ environment to operate in. martha, when he comes in and _ environment to operate in. martha, when he comes in and people - environment to operate in. martha, when he comes in and people are l when he comes in and people are talking about him being the grown—up coming to steady the ship, that's pretty damning indictment of where we are? . �* , ., pretty damning indictment of where we are? . h ., ., we are? yeah, it's humiliating for liz truss but _ we are? yeah, it's humiliating for liz truss but also _ we are? yeah, it's humiliating for liz truss but also humiliating - we are? yeah, it's humiliating for liz truss but also humiliating for| liz truss but also humiliating for the country really. we've been forced — the country really. we've been forced to— the country really. we've been forced to completely change our domestic— forced to completely change our domestic agenda according to the reaction _ domestic agenda according to the reaction of the international markets _ reaction of the international markets. yeah, the fact that he is very strongly signalling he will completely dismantle liz truss's mini budget he's already started to do that, _ mini budget he's already started to do that, with the reports he will delay— do that, with the reports he will

8:18 am
economic plans or the people who did agree with her and actually believe chan wanted be radical and to challenge orthodoxy, have seen she's not doing that someone both sides there is frustration. if they organise and group together, put in letters, to sir graham brady, and they make it clear they won't be able to support her in votes in the house of commons, her agenda won't get through, then that becomes increasingly difficult for any prime minister to operate in, so there are definitely moves afoot behind—the—scenes of people being organised, some of the bigger names are getting their supporters in line as well, so the next few days will be quite tumultuous, i think. could it be an immediate _ be quite tumultuous, i think. could it be an immediate coronation of rishi sunak then? if it be an immediate coronation of rishi sunak then?— it be an immediate coronation of rishi sunak then? if enough mps auree, rishi sunak then? if enough mps agree. certainly _ rishi sunak then? if enough mps agree, certainly he _ rishi sunak then? if enough mps agree, certainly he is _ rishi sunak then? if enough mps agree, certainly he is seen - rishi sunak then? if enough mps agree, certainly he is seen as - rishi sunak then? if enough mps| agree, certainly he is seen as one of the _ agree, certainly he is seen as one of the unity— agree, certainly he is seen as one of the unity candidates. what would happen— of the unity candidates. what would happen is_ of the unity candidates. what would happen is that graham brady would go to liz truss _ happen is that graham brady would go to liz truss and threaten a change in the _

8:21 am
further away from the 2019 manifesto at the election won under boris. the more you move away from those plans, the more people can then say hang on a minute, you don't have a mandate for this, as we have seen in this radical growth plan from liz truss, so i think the calls for that will certainly increase. and perhaps come on the flip side, that's the one card the prime minister still has to play, where she can say if you don't back me, then they will have to be an election. mps want self—preservation. they want to win their seats again. they want somebody who can do that so it could be a case where you lose an election now or you lose it in a few years' time with a different margin and that will be the calculation they'll be trying to up this weekend over the next few days.— be trying to up this weekend over the next few days. some of that will rest on how — the next few days. some of that will rest on how the _ the next few days. some of that will rest on how the markets _ the next few days. some of that will rest on how the markets react - the next few days. some of that will rest on how the markets react in - the next few days. some of that will| rest on how the markets react in the week ahead. thank you so much both of you. thank you for your time this
8:22 am
morning. let's look outside the window. we keep showing you this picture because we don't often get a view like this from our office. we may as well marvel in it. it looks like someone is cleaning the lens on the camera as well. it's wonderful, isn't it? a beautiful clear morning over greater manchester. let's check in with louise and find out how it is looking for you in the days ahead. good morning, louise. goad ahead. good morning, louise. good mornina, ahead. good morning, louise. good morning, absolutely _ ahead. good morning, louise. (ems. morning, absolutely glorious across much of england and wales at the moment. very light winds in comparison to yesterday, blue skies, a lot of sunshine and you're pretty much going to keep that throughout the day. it's an improving story in scotland and northern ireland where we have seen some pretty intense showers through the night. as you can see quite clearly, they are starting to stretch out, fragment a little, and they will continue to do so as there is no pressure gradually starts to pull away. that allows the isobars to open up, a ridge of high pressure building for a time. there
8:23 am
is a weather front coming, it will bring some rain, heavy, but it will be through the night tonight so enjoy the sunshine if you can today. the showers will tend to linger across the far north of scotland i'm afraid, but elsewhere, with the sunshine coming through, temperatures will be a degree or so “p temperatures will be a degree or so up on yesterday. we are likely to see them peaking generally between 10-18. 17-18 as a see them peaking generally between 10—18. 17—18 as a couple above where they should be for the time of year. clouding over with outbreaks of rain across channel coasts by the end of the afternoon. that wet weather will spread its way steadily northwards, heaviest maps of north west england, northern ireland and into scotland. with all the cloud and the rain around, temperatures will held up. but it will be a wet start for some first thing tomorrow morning. it's an improving picture once again so heavy rain in the far north of scotland, trailing by the french of east anglia and the south—east, it mightjust east anglia and the south—east, it might just catch you east anglia and the south—east, it mightjust catch you out first thing in the morning but that eases away during the morning rush hour and
8:24 am
lots of sunshine to look forward to once again, the centre of the low continues to spiral. plenty of showers across scotland and northern ireland, still blustery winds here, but a little bit lighterfurther south and once again come in the sunshine, we are now heading towards the middle of october and so 17—18 is pretty good really. now we are going to see another day like that on tuesday. high pressure still hanging on in there, but it's going to lose its grip through the middle part of the week as this area of low pressure will gradually start to nudgein pressure will gradually start to nudge in again, wetter and windier weather on its way. so the better part of the week is likely to be at the beginning of the week, the dried, settled, sunny weather, it will get a bit more unsettled, a little bit cooler, with some sharper showers as the week progresses. back to you. showers as the week progresses. back to ou. ., ~' , showers as the week progresses. back to ou. ., , . .,, to you. thank you very much, louise. seak to to you. thank you very much, louise. speak to you — to you. thank you very much, louise. speak to you later. _ know this one is juicy. it's one of the most infamous crimes
8:25 am
in british history and it's remained unsolved for more than 500 years. we're talking about the murder of two young princes, edward and richard, in the tower of london. here's how the historian lucy worsley tells the story. summer, 1li83. the tower of london. two young boys are about to become victims of one of the greatest unsolved crimes of british history. king edward iv is dead. his 12—year—old son is about to be crowned. but instead, as the story goes, he and his younger brother are murdered in their beds. one potential way to find out more about what happened that night would be to forensically examine the princes' bones which are in a crypt in the tower. the queen had always resisted that idea but there are suggestions that king charles is more open to it
8:26 am
and would like an investigation to go ahead. we arejoined now by turi king, a professor of genetics at the university of leicester. good morning to you and thank you very much for talking to us this morning. i mean, we said there that the princes' bones are in a crypt, but i suppose we don't actually know they are the princes' bones, do we? they are in an urn in westminster, so these are a set of remains that were found when they were doing renovations of the tower of london. they are not the only bones which have been found there. they were doing these renovations and throwing things under a heap and they thought they could be the princes in the tower and four years later they were put into an urn in westminster. i mean, people have asked me about this numerous times, it's a question i can ask the most whenever i give talks, could we do an analysis of the remains? i have always said that if this was going to happen, you
8:27 am
would want to do a very calm and measured scientific study. because there is so much interest in this. i think you would want a calm and measured approach to it and that would involve examining the remains austria logically, and having a look at them and seeing if you can see any evidence for any wounds or anything like that, determining whether or not there the right age that involves things like age in the skeletons which is notoriously difficult to do. some of the analysis is destructive and so you would want to do that at an absolute minimum and stop at any point where you go, ok, this tells us it's not the boys, say radiocarbon dated, and that tells us whether if they are in the right time period and if they are not in the right time period you
8:28 am
would stop there because you don't want to do any more destructive analysis on human remains. if it's looking like these are remains of the boys, about the right age, and radiocarbon dates come back is properly looking right, then you do things like genetic analysis, so you could tell whether or not they are siblings. we have dna from richard iii, the data from that, so we could do analysis to see if it matches as we would be expecting as those princes where his nephews but it won't tell us who killed them. we ma aet won't tell us who killed them. we may get to _ won't tell us who killed them. we may get to the bottom whether or not it's them, but the mystery will live on in terms of what exactly happened. and without wishing to undermine the process, what would be the purpose therefore of disturbing it? secondly, don't we enjoy the mystery? isn't the puzzle the beauty of something like this? i mystery? isn't the puzzle the beauty of something like this?— of something like this? i mean, i think that's _ of something like this? i mean, i think that's true. _ of something like this? i mean, i think that's true. a _ of something like this? i mean, i think that's true. a decision - of something like this? i mean, i think that's true. a decision has. of something like this? i mean, i l think that's true. a decision has to be made as to whether or not it is worth... fih

8:31 am
covid booster this autumn, whether it is biontech or madonna, they both rely on a new type of vaccine technology known as mrna. among the pioneers were this husband and wife team. they founded biontech. speaking to sunday with laura kunz berg, —— laura kuenssberg, they spoke more about the essential two fight against cancer. the spoke more about the essential two fight against cancer.— fight against cancer. the more we know, the more _ fight against cancer. the more we know, the more we _ fight against cancer. the more we know, the more we know - fight against cancer. the more we know, the more we know how- fight against cancer. the more we know, the more we know how to | fight against cancer. the more we - know, the more we know how to fight it and what we are up against. as scientists, we are always hesitant to say we have a cure for cancer. we have a number of ideas and we will

8:33 am
isn't it? laura kuenssberg is the person who did that interview in germany with the founders of biontech. lower cosmic programme, sunday were laura kuenssberg, is over on bbc one and starts at 9am. and you can see more of that interview on the programme. wouldn't it be incredible _ interview on the programme. wouldn't it be incredible if _ interview on the programme. wouldn't it be incredible if the _ interview on the programme. wouldn't it be incredible if the science _ it be incredible if the science could be used in cancer? coming up to 8:35am. we have spoken so much about the political turmoil in westminster. but of course the effects of that turmoil are being felt right across the uk. vincent mcaviney has been hearing what voters in norfolk and coventry make of the last few days. i've acted decisively today. in the bar at thetford's bell hotel in liz truss constituency, punters are wondering if it's tolling last orders for her. i personally think it's untenable.
8:34 am
she she has to go at the end of the day. what a mess we're in. ijust feel that she's just sort of been led into doing these things because everybody sort of says, oh, yeah, that's a good idea. that's a good idea. and then she goes and does it. and then somebody goes, huh? no, it wasn't. who is she going toi sack next, i wonder. you know, it's a shame i she doesn't sack herself. at the neighbouring estate agents, theyjust want confidence restored through competence. we've had so many properties fall through over the last couple of weeks. people that were told they'd be able to get mortgages now because the rates have gone so high has made a huge impact to them. yeah, she may be doing all these things, but what is she doing in order to replace the debt that she's getting us into? even loyal conservative supporters of liz truss have been left shocked. i didn't think she would do that. i thought they were all going to stand together. she oversaw it, surely she's you know, she's the head, isn't she? i hope. voters in the middle of the country in coventry were equally baffled
8:35 am
by recent events. i think in the short period of time that she's been in power, i think it's been a sham, one sham after another. so i think she needs to leave and we need to get someone who's a bit more in touch with what's going on. she's got to be given time to get on with it. that's the only thing she can do. she can't just walk away because that'd be wrong. just in terms of what truss is saying, she's got no clue. she's got no idea. and then and then the laughable bit is is actually sacking kwasi kwarteng when she and him came to put the budget together so it doesn't make any sense. as for her new chancellor, voters down in southampton had mixed feelings onjeremy hunt's reappointment to cabinet. i think he's a decent fellow who's reviving a career, and i wish him well. well, good luck, good luck. he's got quite a task on his hands to put things back in order. i can remember him as health
8:36 am
secretary and he completely screwed it up then. disaster. a big week ahead for both the prime minister and her new chancellor as they try to regain the trust of both the markets and the wider conservative party. we're joined now by snp's westminster leader ian blackford. how has it been for you? you'll make a shambles, you see the price normal people are having to pay, mortgage rates going and as we know, millions of people both a sharply higher mortgage costs. —— of people both a sharply higher mortgage costs. —- it of people both a sharply higher mortgage costs. --_ of people both a sharply higher mortgage costs. -- it has been a shambles- _ mortgage costs. -- it has been a shambles. over— mortgage costs. -- it has been a shambles. over the _ mortgage costs. -- it has been a shambles. over the next - mortgage costs. -- it has been a shambles. over the next few - mortgage costs. -- it has been a l shambles. over the next few years mortgage costs. -- it has been a - shambles. over the next few years to the extent that they will be in situations where they can question —— but they are questioning whether they can afford to stay in their own homes. we need to remember when we came into this it was about the cost of living crisis and what was —— jaw—dropping was that we knew the
8:37 am
markets would take a dim view of it because you could not have unfunded tax cuts that we would have to fund through dates, it was a stunning error ofjudgment but i have to say we know from the sunday papers this morning now that the cut to the top rate of tax was not kwasi kwarteng's idea, it was the prime minister's idea, it was the prime minister's idea the prime minister still stands accused of having trashed the pound, senior bank of england having to step in to support the financial market, to stop pension funds going over and she has to take responsibility for the biggest financial disaster we have seen over the course of the last few decades, it has been one that has been self induced and we have to remember this is on the back of the idiocy from the institute of economics that have been... and it has been a deeply damaging experiment and a situation that in the financial markets make questioning whether or not the uk is
8:38 am
investable and one of the things we need to take into account here is that there is a current account deficit. the office of national statistics, figures, that have refinanced by foreign investors and at the moment they have no... in the uk and the government has created this. �* , , , ., ., , this. broad consensus that it does 30 a shi -. this. broad consensus that it does 30 a ship. wouldn't _ this. broad consensus that it does 30 a ship. wouldn't the _ this. broad consensus that it does 30 a ship. wouldn't the worst - this. broad consensus that it does. 30 a ship. wouldn't the worst thing possible now for stability be to change hands at number ten again? shat change hands at number ten again? git the end of the day, this is a prime minister who has trashed the reputation of the united kingdom for financial stability never mind her own reputation and she not coming back from that. this has been a mistake by the tory party appointing her as prime minister and the backdrop to that is you did have a race to the bottom and cutting tax, not least of course jeremy race to the bottom and cutting tax, not least of coursejeremy hunt wanting to go even further and
8:39 am
reducing corporation tax to 50% —— about 15%, which is lunacy, we need to see the prime minister removed from office and as soon as practical beneath an election to get out of this but for those of us in scotland watching all of this, and seeing what has been consistent damage done to the financial livelihood of people in our country, we know we have an alternative and that alternative is making sure we can enact the mandate we have four pupil school flew to have an independence referendum and unlocking the plan we have for growth, one very much based on green energy, a hopefulfuture and away from westminster. in on green energy, a hopefulfuture and away from westminster. in order for ou to and away from westminster. in order for you to get — and away from westminster. in order for you to get what _ and away from westminster. in order for you to get what you _ and away from westminster. in order for you to get what you want, - and away from westminster. in order for you to get what you want, which l for you to get what you want, which we understand as a referendum on scottish independence, you would have to work for the lead back with another party, possibly in a

8:41 am
output fivefold from five up to 80 gigawatts and createjobs. producing four times as much energy as we need and using that as a launch pad to deliver a green, industrialfuture and is what we offer. it not the... i have to say, when i hear the prime minister talking about about growth, growth, growth, it is a real plan to make sure scotland is delivering a sustainable future and i will happily contrast the plans we have, the scottish government will come out with an economic paper tomorrow as well and we need to recognise, if you are back to the referendum in 2014, the pound dollar rate was 1.64, it is 1.10 today, that is what has happened over the past few years, we were promised the broad shoulders of the uk keep it stable and now we need a life raft to get back to an independent scotland and european union and unlocking trade opportunities that we will have as an independent nation very much based on our ability to be a powerhouse in delivering green energy. we powerhouse in delivering green ener: . ~ ., ., powerhouse in delivering green ener. _ p ., ., , powerhouse in delivering green ener: .~ . . , ., energy. we wait and see what happens- _ energy. we wait and see what happens- ian _

8:43 am
a brilliant contest which more than lived up to expectations. it was billed as a classic matchup between boxer and puncher claressa shields, considered to be the better technical fighter of the two. but it was the american who started more aggressively. she swarmed on marshall in the opening round, and that set the tone for the fight, with two of them standing toe to toe and slugging it out for the majority of the fight. it's a wonder that it went the distance. it was fought in such a frenetic pace. bravery and courage shown by both fighters. a terrific advert for women's boxing. for savannah marshall, now the former wbo champion was magnanimous in defeat and paid tribute to claressa shields for the american should prove why she's considered to be one of the best pound for pound fighters around at the moment. look, i'm disappointed that i came up short, but if it's done anything female boxing, if it's pushed the sport, if it's made young boys and girls want to get in the gym and give it a go, then i'll be happy with that. over to new zealand where the the women's rugby union world cup continued this morning as wales fell to a 56—12 defeat against the hosts. the reigning world champions ran in ten tries. wales did mange two of their own, but were outclassed in front of a sell out crowd.
8:44 am
despite the result, wales are still in a good position to secure their place in the knock—out stages. on to the rugby league world cup and england started their campaign in style, thrashing samoa 60 points to 6 the hosts set the pace early on, jack welsby scored the first try with this impressive run samoa did pull a try back but went into the break with a 12 point defecit and it only got worse as england ran away with the game in the second half in front of a packed stjames' park. i never expected that sort of scoreline, you know, but we can get better. we'll improve on a few things, you know, be betterfor next week. but i'm very happy with the win, no doubt about that. we didn't need a confidence boost. we did ok against fiji, we did well today.
8:45 am
we know what we could do and we can still improve on that performance, no doubt about it in my mind. we have been busy. so rugby league, women's rugby union. plenty of world cups at the moment anorther has got under way this morning. the cricket t20 world cup in australia and there's been a real shock in the first match. sri lanka one of the teams expected to qualify for the later stage of the tournament later in the month have been beaten by namibia, a side ranked 14th in the world. a real shock, that. the late kick off in the premier league is a big one. the last few seasons, it would even have been considered a title decider but today's fixture between liverpool and city might feel a little different. city looking unstoppable with erling haaland at the healm, while liverpool sit 11th in table after a poor run of form in the league.
8:46 am
this game requires all your focus, requires all the things you know about football, all... it's everything i said a couple of times. i enjoy preparing the game really, but it's anyway the biggest challenge you can face in football, because football is all about closing down spaces, closing down players. it's a home game, it's anfield, it's it's us against man city. yes, they are in the moment definitely the best football team in the world. that's how it is. but we will give it a try anyway, knowing there are no guarantees. always difficult have been in these years since we arrived together so tough game to discover anything else special. the table didn't play never play in a game, not just against liverpool and every single game. the game will be dictated by what happens
8:47 am
on the pitch, not because we are in front or we are behind or these kind of things. so all the drama from yesterday's games is over on match of the day with spurs closing in at the top. but the biggest drama was played out on social media. so this is what nottingham forrest posted on their way to play wolves yesterday — an image of emmanuel dennis with three baby wolf pups and the caption 'playtime'. well it didn't end well for them — they were beaten 1—0 and wolves responded with this. playtime's over. axe into a stump, in a brutal dig — forest's logo is of course a tree. could be a good thing playing with the logos. they nottingham forest deleted _ the logos. they nottingham forest deleted the tweet, you cannot do that _ deleted the tweet, you cannot do that. ., ., ., ., _

8:49 am
also saw a child coming through. you'll the cloud and rain arriving of dorset, devon by the end of the afternoon so for — 5pm perhaps a get out early, like twins, temperature starting to respond through the afternoon and we can highs of 18 celsius feeling very nice indeed in sheltered spots and as we go through the evening, another of those pushing in some of the rain really turning quite heavy with strong, gusty winds and favourite spots for the rest of the rain, northern ireland, north west england, southern scotland as it drifts steadily northwards so that will be there, lingering by dawn, a trailing weather fronts the producing there, lingering by dawn, a trailing weatherfronts the producing perhaps showery rain into essex and kent but that should ease as well early on so a mild, damp start with an improving picture through the day, plenty of showers, they should start to ease in northern ireland and east scotland, few and far between but once again plenty of showers closest to the centre of the low pressure
8:50 am
and with the sunshine we have the warmth of those temperatures into the high teens possible and it looks likely that will continue the story for tuesday at least so if you are planning ahead for your week, certainly bear in mind that the earliest part of the week is when we will of the weather so this ridge of high pressure but this low is starting to move in from the atlantic and one is low pressure arrives, it could be here with us for the rest of the week ahead so dry and settle to begin with, turning increasingly wet and windy perhaps towards the end of the week. that is it from me, back to you too. really autumnal. really autumnal. thank really autumnal. thank you, really autumnal. thank you, louise. really autumnal. thank you, louise. enjoy the rest of your sunday. it is 8:50am. you might have heard by now but the bbc is celebrating its centenary this year — and that includes our philharmonic orchestra. the orchestra can trace its roots back to 1922, when it would playjust
