good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today: the new chancellor, jeremy hunt, will announce more u—turns to the controversial mini budget this morning — a fortnight earlier than planned. as the prime minister fights for her political survival here at parliament, the government has decided it needs to act now rather than in two weeks. after weeks of uncertainitity over the value of the pound, announcement has on the markets. the metropolitan police finds

hundreds of officers have been getting away with breaking the law and misconduct. manchester united footballer mason greenwood is due in court, charged with attempted rape, controlling behaviour and assault. a huge win for liverpool but the fans see red at anfield. as mo salah's strike ends manchester city's winless run, the match is overshadowed by the behaviour of some spectators. and it's mild out there this morning but i bet on the wet side, plenty of sunshine to come for most of you today on what will be a rather mild week. good morning, everybody. it's monday, 17th october. our main story: the chancellor will annouce further mini budget u—turns today — two weeks earlier than expected. jeremy hunt is expected to fast—track billions of pounds�* worth of tax and spending measures. let's get some more details

from our chief political correspondent, nick eardley. i know this news is onlyjust coming through to us in the last few moments. through to us in the last few moments-— through to us in the last few moments. ~ . , ., moments. what can you tell us? pretty dramatic _ moments. what can you tell us? pretty dramatic news _ moments. what can you tell us? pretty dramatic news to - moments. what can you tell us? pretty dramatic news to start - moments. what can you tell us? | pretty dramatic news to start the week at westminster. as the prime minister fights forced her political survival of the uk fights for economic credibility. the new chancellor, just 72 hours into the job, is going to fast track his plans for the economy. we will hear jeremy hunt outlined those plans later this morning and then make a statement in parliament. there is speculation that more elements of the mini budget that was only announced three and a half weeks ago, that will be junked. announced three and a half weeks ago, that will bejunked. keep an eye on what happens with income tax, remembered the government was going to bring forward plans to reduce the basic rate of income tax. keep an

eye on the remaining elements of that mini budget. a statement coming out from the treasury in the last few seconds it says it follows on from the prime minister'sstatement on friday and further conversations between the prime minister and chancellor over the weekend in chequers, the prime minister'scountry retreat discussing what they want to do next. we will get another big intervention from the government today as it seeks to get the economy on track.— the government today as it seeks to get the economy on track. thank you, nick. we get the economy on track. thank you, nick- we will — get the economy on track. thank you, nick. we will be — get the economy on track. thank you, nick. we will be back _ get the economy on track. thank you, nick. we will be back with _ get the economy on track. thank you, nick. we will be back with you - get the economy on track. thank you, nick. we will be back with you as - nick. we will be back with you as more details emerge. after weeks of uncertaintity over the value of the pound, nina's keeping an eye on what this latest announcement might have on the markets this morning. and you have also been watching what was happening internationally overnight. it’s was happening internationally overniaht. v , overnight. it's been the most extraordinary _ overnight. it's been the most extraordinary three _ overnight. it's been the most

extraordinary three weeks . overnight. it's been the most i extraordinary three weeks going overnight. it's been the most - extraordinary three weeks going back to the 26th of september, the pound had gone to its lowest point against the dollar for had gone to its lowest point against the dollarfor decades, had gone to its lowest point against the dollar for decades, thousands of mortgage offers got taken away and then the bank of england moved to shore up pensions and underwrite government debt. there was not a household in the country not long term worrying about that, then we saw the high rate of income tax, nick saint we could see the basic rate of income tax, that being cancelled. the new prime minister came in on friday, seeking to reassure global investors we were a safe bet, he said stability would underpin his policies and talked about the mini budget going too far and too fast. when markets opened in asia we sought the pound bouncing slightly to $112. no work near where we were injanuary but still

going in the right direction. it's important to carry out what we hear later today, there are questions around the credibility of the uk economy that remain. first do we have a prime minister that will see out the month and second can they trust us long—term when it comes to that debt underwritten by international investors and whether they do, and we find it about better bond markets at 8am, affects you if you have a mortgage or run a business or receive benefits, whether there raise their generosity to increase depth so the chancellor has accelerated the process of the budget but the chaos around the government means the markets have a long way to go before they are reassured and see us as a safe bet. thank you, nina. we will all keep an eye on the markets and what comes out of the treasury because we expect some statement from the new

chancellor before he gives a statement in parliament later. we will bring you the latest as we get it. the time now is 6:05am. hundreds of met police officers have been getting away with breaking the law and misconduct, a damning report has found. baroness louise casey found many claims of sexual misconduct, misogyny, racism and homophobia were badly mishandled by the force. our special correspondent, lucy manning, reports. how could a police officer kidnap, rape and kill? it was sarah everard's murder by metropolitan police officer wayne couzens that shocked the country, that made people ask, how could the police be trusted? in the aftermath of sarah everard's murder, baroness louise casey was asked to investigate the met. can it police its own? the answer is no. she found misconduct cases take too long to resolve — on average, more than a year. nearly 60% of cases end without any action taken, especially sexual misconduct

and discrimination allegations. there is systemic racial bias with black and asian officers more likely to be accused of misconduct. too few officers who should be removed for gross misconduct have been, and officers with repeated patterns of unacceptable behaviour aren't identified. i have found in their internal misconduct system it's not good enough, it's not quick enough and it has racial disparity and the force needs to accept that. the whole force needs to accept it, they mustn't deny it and they mustn't look to find that i've somehow got my homework wrong. the new metropolitan police commissioner says he's appalled and angry, but it's clear these issues aren't new. i'm so angry about how we've let so many people down. what you read about what women and non—white officers are suffering in the organisation, it's disgraceful, our feebleness in our response to that, and i apologise to them

that we've let them down so badly and i apologise to the public for what that means for them as well. when two police officers take photos with the dead bodies of murdered sisters nicole smallman and bibaa henry then share them with colleagues, when police officers, mainly based at charing cross police station, send messages thatjoke about rape, domestic violence and racism, it's clear failing to deal internally with dangerous officers has put the people they serve the public at risk. lucy manning, bbc news. there have been a number of explosions this morning in kyiv exactly a week after russian strikes on the ukrainian capital. air raid sirens sounded shortly before the two blasts — our correspondent hugo bachega is there for us this morning. think safe down there in the underground car park. do you want to

talk us through what has happened in the last hour? we talk us through what has happened in the last hour?— the last hour? we are back in the car ark, the last hour? we are back in the car park. the _ the last hour? we are back in the car park, the underground - the last hour? we are back in the | car park, the underground shelter the last hour? we are back in the i car park, the underground shelter of our hotel. we heard the first explosion a little after 6:30am here and there was a second large explosion closer to the city centre, much closer to war hotel. the sound of it came from the area of saint michaels monastery which is the ministry you see behind us in our live reports from the capital. there were reports of a third explosion, were reports of a third explosion, we heard a report from andriy yermak, the president's chief of staff, saying the city had been attacked by so—called kamikaze zones supplied by iran to russia which had used them to attack positions across the country and this happened a week after those missile attacks by russia across the country including

here in kyiv and in the last two weeks russia has been attacking critical civilian infrastructure, power supplies, electricity transmission lines in the first report suggest that again critical civilian infrastructure has been the target here. we don't know exactly what sites have been attacked, we are waiting to hear an update from the local authorities but at least three explosion is reported this morning in kyiv. the manchester united footballer mason greenwood is due to appear in court today charged with attempted rape, engaging in controlling behaviour and assault. our reporter rowan bridge is outside manchester magistrates' court this morning. good morning, rowan. good morning. the 21-year-old _ good morning, rowan. good morning. the 21-year-old from _ good morning, rowan. good morning. the 21-year-old from bowden - good morning, rowan. good morning. the 21-year-old from bowden is - good morning, rowan. good morning. the 21-year-old from bowden is due i the 21—year—old from bowden is due before manchester magistrates later this morning having been charged with three offences by police on

saturday relating to the same woman. he is charged with attempted rape, coercive and controlling behaviour and assault causing bodily harm. the player was first arrested in january and released on bail. the three charges relate to different periods, the attempted rape is alleged to have taken place last october, the controlling behaviour relates to a period between november 2018 and october this year and the assault charge is dated december last year. given the high—profile nature of the premier league footballer, the crown prosecution services also issued a statement pointing out that mason greenwood was entitled to a fair trial and saying it's important there should be no reporting commentary or sharing information online which could prejudice these proceedings. more than 400,000 health workers will be balloted for strikes over growing disputes about issues including pay.

unison announced that its members — from nursing staff to hospital porters and cleaners — will vote in the coming weeks on whether to mount a campaign of industrial action. almost a million nhs workers could be involved in strikes and other forms of industrial action before christmas. we've been asking the government to boost the £1400 that was offered. it's not enough to help health workers pay their bills, and it's not enough to deal with the staffing crisis because as everybody leaves, as more people leave for better paid work outside the nhs, that leaves more work to go around fewer people. so the pressures for those who are left are getting greater and people just cannot cope. you're watching breakfast from bbc news and for the first time that site a proper hand—out to matt. that

looks gorgeous behind you. it will be lovely for some in the sunshine but there will be some rain around this morning that brighten linked to sunny spells for the majority, windy for some but one thing it is not as cold. temperatures in the last hour to start the day, we would normally expect during the afternoon at this time of year it's a warm towards east anglia and the south—east, some rain pushing its way into takers to the rush hour, a few showers in the west but more significant rain in the north of scotland which will ease away from caithness, putting in towards orkney and then shetland. a few showers in northern ireland and scotland, parts of the irish sea and north west wales, a lively start with gale force winds, winds falling

lighter elsewhere, sunshine across the midlands, cloudy outbreaks of rain in the channel islands which will gradually clear. showers continue in northern scotland and other parts of scotland and northern ireland but england and wales will have at dry and sunny afternoon and a clear commute here. tonight showers continue in northern scotland, clearer skies elsewhere and with winds falling light tonight will be the coldest night of the week they could be a frost across england and wales but tomorrow the sunniest day of the week before we see showers developed in the rest of the week. let's take a look at today's papers. interesting to see how they might have changed in the light of the statement we will get from the chancellor in the next few hours. most of them leading with the plight of the prime minister. "plot to topple truss this week" is the headline on the front

of this morning's daily mail. the paper work very supportive of liz truss in the early days. the paper describes backbench mps turning on the prime minister as "mutinous". it says conservative party rebels are imploring sir graham brady, of the influential 1922 committee, to intervene. the guardian writes that liz truss is "fighting for her political survival" after the veteran tory mp crispin blunt broke ranks to declare that is a theme on lots of the front pages. "britain needs stability, not a soap opera," leader of the commons penny mordaunt writes in the daily telegraph, signalling she isn't planning to stage a coup against ms truss. ms mordaunt warns mps against rebelling and says the country needs "pragmatism and teamwork". and this morning's times features on its front page this eye—catching we need that! a very cute image of a

king charles spaniel with dog firms reportedly hoping the new king might boost the breeds popularity, although i think they are already popular. they have got popular over the last years but i think they hope the drip of people saint king charles, king charles will get people to go out and buy a king charles spaniel, but i image there. somalia has a long history of droughts but climate change has made the intervals between them shorter — and the latest one is the worst for a0 years. shorter — and the latest one two weeks ago our africa correspondent andrew harding reported on the situation there and now he's returned to the country to see its impact in another area. andrew's report comes from dolow, where people have come in search of life—saving help. a warning that you are likely to find parts of his report difficult to watch. from the parched plains of southern somalia, a weary exodus.

these families have trekked for days across a hostile wilderness in search of food. tens of thousands have made similarjourneys in recent weeks, drawn to places like this. the crowded outskirts of dolow, a border town where some help is at hand. the local hospital, funded by britain since the last famine here back in 2011, is playing a vital role. the baby is really very severely malnourished. but pamela wasonga, a nutrition expert from neighbouring kenya, is afraid of what lies ahead. somalia needs help. now? now, yeah. and if it doesn't get it? we are headed for a catastrophe. this is serious. it's really going to get worse if nothing more comes in other than what's already there. today, that catastrophe

is already taking shape in the crowded stabilisation ward. as usual, it's the under—fives who act as the fragile sirens of famine. babies cry. and today, a boy named abdiwali is fighting for his life. he is two years old, but weighs little more than a newborn baby. he has been hungry for most of his life? his mother tells me abdiwali had a feverfor weeks. "the drought took everything from us, all our crops, "our cattle," she says. "there was nothing left for the boy to eat." which is why they came here, to dolow. it took abdiwali and his family nine days to walk to this camp. they had to beg for food on the way. it was somalia's savage drought that forced them off their farm but the real culprit here is man—made climate change.

almost no—one here thinks they will ever go back to their farms, to their old way of life. the next morning, we return to check up on the boy. but he is struggling. his body temperature has dropped sharply. the doctors try to warm him with a foil blanket, but he's too weak to respond. and with a light touch on her shoulder, his mother is told that it's over. her husband kerad is there, too, to see the end. the number of children that we've lost here this year, 2022, also increased. it must take a toll on you and your staff to see that. yeah, it normally takes a toll, especially it is so sad and painful when you witness something that can be prevented and can be corrected very easily. within hours, abdiweli's

father is already helping to dig a grave. there are brief prayers. and as the women watch from a distance, a two—year—old's body is buried. it will not be the last here. andrew harding, bbc news, in dolow, somalia. andrew harding reporting on the incredibly difficult situation there and he reported a few weeks ago and has come back with that recent update on the situation. campaigners are warning that the government is running out of time to equip the nhs with a drug that could protect some vulnerable people against covid—19 this winter. the department of health says more research is needed before it commits to purchasing evusheld. here's our health correspondent, dominic hughes. evusheld would give me

a layer of protection that is better than nothing. because that's what i have currently, is nothing. i've just been thrown right under the bus. forgotten about, totally forgotten about. i'm expensive and expendable. so, you know, the sooner people like me disappear, the easier it will be for everybody. the solution to - the problem is there. but we can't get it. and to be honest, i think that's even more cruel than _ not having a solution at all. already struggling with her health, blanche is preparing for another long winter. she lives with lupus, a condition where her own immune system has turned against her. the drugs that i take to treat the lupus that i have have suppressed my immune system to the stage where it doesn't function. and so what all that means is, i will get whatever infection much more quickly than a healthy person, and i will not recover in anything

like the speed of a healthy person. so you add covid to that mix, and it's potentially fatal. no immune system means vaccines can't offer blanche any protection. so as the world has moved on, she's been shielding for two and a half years. the reality of sitting in a place, watching people go about their lives through the window, knowing that you can't do that, and that if you get sick again, that will be the end of it for you. and all you can do now is wait for the axe to fall. essentially, we are your last visitors, you think? oh, absolutely. last people to come into the flat? yes, yes. but there is a drug that offers some hope. evusheld, available in more than 30 countries, delivers readymade antibodies to those who can't

create their own. it was all set to be prescribed to up to half a million immune suppressed people in the uk. but in august, the government called a halt to the roll—out, concerned over how it performs against the omicron variant. it is a nice day, though. that decision was hard to take for scott and his wife, nicola. scott's treatment for a rare form of blood cancer has left his immune system in pieces. evusheld offered them the chance to make some memories in whatever time scott has left. i'm ex—military. i've served this country in the early �*90s, and ifeel like i've just been thrown under the bus, to be quite honest with you. angry, disappointed, abandoned. let down, as well. totally let down by the government. good boy! scott believes evusheld offers him a route back into the world, to work, a social life.

and a significant number of medical experts agree that delaying a roll—out of the drug is flawed. the decision to not run with evusheld this winter is very much a kind of glass half—empty approach. but the glass half full approach is, it has some activity and it has some benefit. and so for very many patients, actually, isn't it better to do something for them rather than nothing? just a stone's throw from blanche's home, people are getting on with their lives. but for those who face another winter of shielding, time is running out. what's really striking about this group of people, the immunosuppressed, for whom the vaccines just don't really work, is how abandoned they feel. now, the government have told us in a statement that they are not yet convinced about how long drugs like evusheld will provide protection against the omicron variant of covid, and they are

looking into urgently setting up clinical trials. but what this group of people want to know is, just how long is that going to take? it doesn't seem just and fair in a society where the majority of people can have some protection and go about their lives but people like me don't have a life to go about any more. we should just reassure viewers that blanche's friends and family are on a rota system for the next six months to check in on her and bring her shopping and medication. they will make sure she's ok so that's good to know. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning, this is bbc london,

i'm frankie mccamley. tfl is preparing to apply for an injunction againstjust stop oil activists after a fortnight of protests in the capital. a meeting was held between the home secretary, the met police and tfl to discuss the disruption. human rights lawyer adam wagner outlined the scale of new plans. things like blocking infrastructure projects, tunnelling, allowing police to stop and search protesters like they have been in the past able to stop and search in areas where there is suspicion of knife violence. lots of restrictions on particular protesters, so they will be able to get protest banning orders against individual protesters. finding a place to rent in london appears to be harder than ever. data from rightmove shows demand on the site for new rental properties is up by 14% compared to last year. rowan and her husband were looking for a one bedroom flat.

she's now found a place, but says it was such a struggle and impacted her mental health. it was very crazy and extremely, extremely depressing. like, overwhelming, it took a toll on us and our mental health and everything. and, yeah, it wasn't ok to go through all of this. all this week we will be running a series of stories about the challenges of private renting we'll be looking at the the cost and availability in london. we want to hear from you. drop us a line. finally, more than 1,000 teddies left at royal residences in memory of the queen are to be given to a children's charity. barnardo's said they would bring joy to those they support. you can see more on our website. let's take a look at how the tubes are running this morning. there's a part suspension on the metropolitan line this morning.

now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. last night we saw a weather front sweep northeastwards across the capital, bringing outbreaks of rain and some strong gusty winds. also plenty of cloud and we have still got that legacy of the cloud around for a time this morning with a few more dribs and drabs of rain but again they are set to clear. there will be a lot of sunshine emerging today and the rest of the day you'll find that it does stay dry. a brisk south—westerly wind easing down as we head through the afternoon in particular, temperatures peaking at 17 or 18 celsius. with much lighter winds overnight tonight and clear skies, temperatures could drop perhaps low enough to get a touch of frost on the grass into tomorrow morning, into single figures, with an early mist forming as well. high pressure will keep us dry throughout the day on tuesday and a lot more blue sky and sunshine, a bit of fair weather cloud through the afternoon and temperatures a little lower on tuesday. by the time we get into wednesday,

there will be a bit more cloud in the forecast and it is turning rather unsettled towards the end of the working week. that's it from me. i'm back in half an hour. now back tojon and sally. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. coming up on breakfast this morning. the rickshaw rides again. we'll be live with matt baker and his incredible team as they prepare to set off on the annual fundraiser. we'll hear about the gene bank project set up to futureproof exmoor ponies. this year's strictly is well under way. we'll be getting the gossip from the dance floor from the singer tommy blaize who's performed all the live music on the show since the series began.

he knows the lot! we are awaiting a statement from chancellor this morning. labour is calling on the prime minister to face mps in parliament today after a series of u—turns left her premiership injeopardy. we're joined now by pat mcfadden, shadow chief secretary to the treasury. good morning, mr mclagan. youjoin us at events as ever are moving very quickly. —— mr mcfadden. the chancellor is going to spas track many billions of plans from the debt plan, and that's a fortnight earlier than expected. your reaction to the changes coming today? the than expected. your reaction to the changes coming today?— than expected. your reaction to the changes coming today? the fact that the chancellor _ changes coming today? the fact that the chancellor is _ changes coming today? the fact that the chancellor is having _ changes coming today? the fact that the chancellor is having to _ changes coming today? the fact that the chancellor is having to bring - the chancellor is having to bring forward measures that he did not

want to announce for another two weeks is evidence of the panic in government. and evidence ofjust how much damage has been done by the mini budget a few weeks ago. the reason he's doing this is because ministers are terrified about what happens when the markets opened this morning, and that is testament to just how much chaos has been caused by liz truss since she became prime minister. he by liz truss since she became prime minister. ., _ by liz truss since she became prime minister. ., ., ., minister. he would say, though, that the have minister. he would say, though, that they have been _ minister. he would say, though, that they have been listening, _ minister. he would say, though, that they have been listening, they - minister. he would say, though, that they have been listening, they are i they have been listening, they are reacting and they are now acting. surely that's the right thing to do. she can't do it because she has no authority left. she was elected on the policies that were announced in the policies that were announced in the mini budget three weeks ago. which policies does she believe in now? the ones that she was elected on, or the ones that are now being forced on her by this situation? you can'tjust think about forced on her by this situation? you can't just think about this in terms of what is happening today. imagine a general election on that basis.

see what situation we inherit. one thing is for sure, see what situation we inherit. one thing is forsure, it see what situation we inherit. one thing is for sure, it looks like we are going to inherit, if we are elected, and more difficult economic situation because of the chaos that has been caused by the prime minister in recent weeks. thank you ve much minister in recent weeks. thank you very much indeed, _ minister in recent weeks. thank you very much indeed, pat _ minister in recent weeks. thank you very much indeed, pat mcfadden, i very much indeed, pat mcfadden, chief secretary to the treasury. a very fast moving morning. there is lots of speculation _ a very fast moving morning. there is lots of speculation on _ a very fast moving morning. there is lots of speculation on social - a very fast moving morning. there is lots of speculation on social media i lots of speculation on social media about pundits and mps about what the new chancellorjeremy hunt might announce today. there is speculation that he could delay the plan to cut the basic rate of income tax in 19 hence, from 20p, he might delay that until 2020. hence, from 20p, he might delay that until2020. he hence, from 20p, he might delay that until 2020. he is trying to reassure the markets and give some clarity on

the markets and give some clarity on the british financial situation, whether that reassures them all create more turmoil, we will see. there was going to be turmoil at liverpool as well.— there was going to be turmoil at liverpool as well. yes, any other season, liverpool as well. yes, any other season. this _ liverpool as well. yes, any other season, this would _ liverpool as well. yes, any other season, this would have - liverpool as well. yes, any other season, this would have felt i liverpool as well. yes, any other season, this would have felt like | season, this would have felt like the match of the season, the two title contenders. in this case, liverpool are in 11th and manchester city looking like they are unbeaten. so that meant it was a lot of drama and juergen klopp did not even make it to the end of the match on the pitch. in the end mo salah's runaway goal was the difference between the two sides in a match that was not without its fair share of drama, as nesta mcgregor reports. in recent years, these two teams have been neck and neck, although so far this season manchester city appear head

and shoulders above liverpool, with eight places between them at kick off. the closest either team came to scoring in the first half was erling haaland. the norwegian, though, not his usual clinical self. early in the second half, the same could be said for mo salah, the fingertips of the keeper denying the egyptian striker. that set the tone for a frantic series of events. minutes after phil foden thought he'd broken the deadlock. however, var ruled his team—mate had committed a foul earlier in the attack. moments later, salah again found himself with only the keeper to beat. same corner, different outcome. salah doesn't make any mistake! not this time. a big moment in a big match. liverpool, though, would finish the game managerless. jurgen klopp sent off for arguing with the assistant referee. but the home side hung on. three vital points and a much needed boost. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. a dramatic match with plenty of talking points, but it was the behaviour of the fans that's stolen the headlines this mornng.

manchester city boss pep guardiola said he had coins thrown at him by the home fans. the objects were allegedly thrown in his direction after phil foden had a goal disallowed by var. next time, next time we'll do it better. so didn't get me. they tried again next year. they're always going to try but they didn't get it. so, they got it in the coach but not that time. this liverpool, meanwhile, have condemned what they describe as "vile" chanting from the city fans. they say "we are deeply disappointed to hear vile chants relating to football stadium tragedies from the away section during the game at anfield. the concourse in the away section was also vandalised with graffiti of a similar nature." arsenal have now made the club's best start to a top—flight campaign for more than a century.

they're four points clear at the top after beating leeds 2—0. bukayo saka scored the only goal in a game that was delayed due to a powercut. his fourth in three matches for arsenal. patrick bamford did have the chance to level things up later for the hosts later from the spot, but could not convert. two mason mount goals handed graham potter his third straight win as chelsea manager, as his side beat aston villa 2—0. there were boos at the final whistle for stephen gerrard though with villa fans not happy at their start the season. they are just one point above the relegation zone after ten games. manchester united's men were held to a frustrating goalless draw by newcastle united at old trafford, but the women's side had no such problems picking up three points. they moved to the top of the super league after thrashing brighton 4—0, lionesses star ella toone led the way for united scoring twice. they're above arsenal

and chelsea on goal difference. in the spl, rangers came back from that heavy defeat to liverpool in the champions league by beating motherwell 2—1. it wasn't all smooth sailing. john lundstram did ease the pressure with their second but after motherwell pulled one back, it was a nervy finish for giovanni van bronckhorst�*s side. elsewhere aberdeen beat hearts 2—0 in the day's other premiership fixture. scotland suffered a heavy defeat in their opening match against italy in the rugby league world cup. they were favourites heading into the game but italy were too strong on the day, jake maizen scored the tournament's first hat—trick in impressive fashion. scotland did pull a try back through lachlan walmsley but it was a mere consolation as the match finished 28—4. ireland had a better afternoon, they comfortably beat debutants jamaica 48—2 with a ten try victory, toby king had the pick of the tries.

while england's t20 world cup campaign doesn't get under way until saturday, both ireland and scotland are playing in the initial group stage as they try and qualify for the main phase. ireland play zimbabwe later this morning. but scotland are already in action against the west indies. it had been a decent start for scotland with the bat before a rain delay stopped their momentum. since returning to the crease, they've lost two wickets. jason holder claiming them both. it's currently 66 for two with ten overs remaining. feels like we have had a bit of build—up to the t20 world cup, england play next weekend. we have had brilliant results, and it may be a winner, it has been great. more world cups! the a winner, it has been great. more world cups!— a winner, it has been great. more world cups! the world needs more world cups! the world needs more world cups! _ adolescence is a high—risk time for developing eating disorders

and the pandemic resulted in even more children and young people seeking help. from today nurses in schools across england will receive a toolkit to help them offer support and spot early warning signs. tim muffett has this report. hello! life is good for katie. but ten years ago, when she was 1a, it began to feel bleak and overwhelming. i developed an eating disorder in around 2012 and i began kind of restricting my food. i was very, very good at masking it and hiding it. how bad did things get for you? pretty bad. so weight loss, i lost my periods for a good few years. i did not really have much concern for my own safety and didn't really appreciate my own mortality. and looking back, there are several occasions where i very well could have died. years of treatment and support have

helped katie overcome her eating disorder. today, the uk's first eating disorder manifesto is being launched to try and remove the stigma and misunderstanding that can surround the condition. it'll include a toolkit for school nurses to help them and other staff support pupils. could it have helped you when you were younger? i think so, yes. i know a lot of my teachers probably did really care and were concerned, but didn't really know what to do. and in my head at the time, i was thinking, oh, well, no—one's even noticing. like, no—one cares. i obviously don't look ill enough. during the pandemic, many people said that, perhaps unsurprisingly, they felt more anxious or isolated than normal. but it seems that covid has also had a specific impact on eating disorders. between march 2020 and march 2022, the number of children and young people in england waiting to start

nhs treatment for eating disorders rose by almost three and a half times. fear and lack of control and all those kind of things can lead to eating disorder behaviours. and i think it was a very uncertain and fearful world we were living in. a hallmark of eating disorders is deception, and it's much more difficult to deceive people when you are with them 2a/7. so i think that could also have been why more cases were detected. the government says that last year it provided an extra £79 million to expand children's mental health services, including access for at least 2,000 more children and young people to eating disorder support. katie now has a wholehearted appetite for life. she just wants others with eating disorders to experience the joy she once feared would never return.

tim muffett, bbc news. and if you've been affected by the issues raised, you can find help and support at bbc.co.uk/actionline. so many families affected by that issue. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. iamjust i am just seeing the word low, low, low, behind you! it is to give you a quick rough idea what is happening this week,. abs, what is happening this week,. a brief bridge and things will turn dry, this area of low pressure will guide thing second half of the week, second half of the week will be wetter than the first half, but towards the south—west, so temperatures compared to what we normally expect, mid—october, it shows they are climbing above

normal. it was going to be a warmer rather than a colder week as we go through the week but some rain to come later on. out there it is a mild start to your day, 15 or 16 degrees across eastern part of england, overnight rain clearing foremost, sunny spells developing. it will be a day especially across central areas. the centre of the low pressure meaning strong winds across the irish scene, rain clearing east anglia and the channel islands to sunshine for england and wales today. at few showers in northern ireland, the outbreaks of rain in scotland will turn showery, more dry weather here, persistent rain in the shetlands but strong winds into northern parts of england. but it is going to be a mild day, 13 to 19 degrees. tonight will be the coldest night of the week. showers continuing for a time in northern scotland, clearer skies elsewhere but a bit of frost to start in

england and wales tomorrow morning. tomorrow is the sunniest day of the week. children in need kicks off next month and that means some mammoth fundraising events are about to get under way. the rickshaw challenge is one of them. this year, for the first time ever, matt baker and the team will be live with bbc breakfast every morning, so we can follow their journey in real time. our reporter fi lamdin is in sunderland today where it all starts. it's all happening, what can you tell us? ,., ., ., _, ., tell us? good morning, welcome, from sunderland. — tell us? good morning, welcome, from sunderland. we — tell us? good morning, welcome, from sunderland, we are _ tell us? good morning, welcome, from sunderland, we are here _ tell us? good morning, welcome, from sunderland, we are here with - tell us? good morning, welcome, from sunderland, we are here with pudsey,| sunderland, we are here with pudsey, with the rickshaw, which will be in two hours, it will be offered. as we can see, good luck alexander, today it is all about alexander. we are

hearing from five young people across the country who are going to be cycling the rickshaw over the next week, who have all been benefited and helped by charities that children in need fund. today it is all about alexander, who is 16, he has autism, and he has 16 guinea pigs. i have been to meet him and find out all about him. i have been to meet him and find out all about him. alexander is 16. today he's glass—blowing. a new hobby that requires bags of confidence. lovely! he lives forfootball, his 16 guinea pigs, and pebble painting. i have autism. when i was two, i never used to talk. but when i got to five, talking is one of my favourite things to do.

so i never stopped talking. dad does the drawing, i do the proper painting, and mum does the varnishing. and at the end of it, we'll give them out to people. alexander was diagnosed when he was two. i used to take him to toddler groups. and sometimes he just wasn't really very settled and wanted to go. and he was running around and wouldn't sit for, like, if sit down and drink time, or engage with other kids. the health visitor, when he was running all overjust said, "is he always like this?" i think it was the i delay in his speech. that was the main thing that was obvious. i you could tell there was something there that wasn't right. _ but at that time, i don't think it was a concern. i we were just thinking, oh, you know, they often say it can be _ a developmental delay. you know, all of a sudden he'll start talking and there'll be i loads of words, but it just never happened. | it was like a bereavement, really. like, you just felt like the little boy you thought you had, it felt like you'd lost something.

and for many years, alexander has struggled making friends. i had nowt to do. in recent years, i used to just sit on the sofa and just relax every night. but that's all changed. there's now a youth group for disabled children, entirely funded by children in need. what do you like doing at grace house? making new friends and being part of a family, more like. friends become family. 32 disabled children come every week. before grace house opened its doors, some of these were vulnerable in town. they've been victimised by other young people living in their community. they've been called names. they've suffered hate crime. they've had to run away from people who were chasing them. i've seen them swap birthday invites with new friends,

or they're able to go out and expand. it'sjust, you know, an opportunity to make fantastic memories and make lifelong friends. as well as flapjack making, today they've got a special visit from sid, a four stone burmese python. alexander, you're feeling terribly... brave, yes. bit more relaxed than i am. tell me why you love coming to this youth group. because it's relaxing and it's chilled out for anybody who needs anything. do you think it's relaxing, having this snake wrapped around us? it depends who you ask. are you finding it relaxing? yes, i'm finding it relaxing all around me! well, i can't even see you, you're sort of... i'm, like, covered my face! i can still breathe normally. once you start knuckling down and getting them in the right school and going to clubs, meeting friends, meeting other families, then it's probably

just what our normal is. it's nothing where you think we've got a disabled child. he's stilljust our little lad at the end of the day. when you think what he was like when he was little, he's progressed beyond recognition now. ifeel more confident of going to that club to learn new skills and be myself. we can see the possibility of him making something of himself and having a job and doing lots of nice things. all we can do is give them lots of opportunities and in really see what happens, the same as with every other child as well. we will be meeting alexander in the next hour as he takes on the challenge. alexander comes to your club which is massively helped by

children in need, what does it do? we offer a range of activities for children and young people with send, sensory sports, football, half ten provision of making it as easy and inclusion as possible. what provision of making it as easy and inclusion as possible.— provision of making it as easy and inclusion as possible. what sort of mm: inclusion as possible. what sort of young people _ inclusion as possible. what sort of young people and _ inclusion as possible. what sort of young people and children - inclusion as possible. what sort of young people and children come i inclusion as possible. what sort of| young people and children come to the club, a massive range? yes. young people and children come to the club, a massive range? yes, all kinds of disabilities, _ the club, a massive range? yes, all kinds of disabilities, cp, _ the club, a massive range? yes, all kinds of disabilities, cp, hearing i kinds of disabilities, cp, hearing and vision impaired, autism and learning disabilities, lots of different levels of ability there. i saw from just going to the youth group, what a difference it made a lot of the young people say they would not have anything else to do if they were not there and people accept them. what difference do you see in your club? abs, accept them. what difference do you see in your club?— see in your club? a lot of the children come _ see in your club? a lot of the children come in _ see in your club? a lot of the children come in very - see in your club? a lot of the children come in very shy, i children come in very shy, confidence is a lot massive thing, it gives them a peer group and it gives them a safe place to take part in sporting activities. you gives them a safe place to take part in sporting activities.— in sporting activities. you know alexander. _ in sporting activities. you know alexander, how _ in sporting activities. you know alexander, how do _ in sporting activities. you know alexander, how do you - in sporting activities. you know alexander, how do you think i in sporting activities. you know| alexander, how do you think he in sporting activities. you know i alexander, how do you think he is going to do today? he has got 27.3

so they will be able to get protest banning orders against individual protesters. finding a place to rent in london appears to be harder than ever. data from rightmove shows demand on the site for new rental properties is up by 14% compared to last year. rowan and her husband were looking for a one—bedroom flat. she's now found a place, but says it was such a struggleand impacted her mental health. it was very crazy and extremely, extremely depressing. like, overwhelming, it took a toll on us and our mental health and everything. and, yeah, it wasn't ok to go through all of this. all this week we will be running a series of stories about the challenges of private renting. we'll be looking at the cost and availability in london. we want to hear from you about your experience. drop us a line by emailing hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk. finally, more than a thousand teddies left at royal residences

temperatures could drop perhaps low enough to get a touch of frost on the grass into tomorrow morning, into single figures, with an early mist forming as well. high pressure will keep us dry throughout the day on tuesday and a lot more blue sky and sunshine, a bit of fair weather cloud through the afternoon and temperatures a little lower on tuesday. by the time we get into wednesday, there will be a bit more cloud in the forecast and it is turning rather unsettled towards the end of the working week. that's it from me for. i'm back in half an hour. bye bye good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today: the new chancellor, jeremy hunt, will announce more u—turns to the controversial mini—budget this morning — a fortnight earlier than planned.

the government has brought forward part of its plan to set out its new economic strategy as the prime minister remains under intense pressure. as he seeks to restore confidence and credability the way investors react to the chancellor's changes could affect your mortgage, your business loans, your benefits. i will have an update. a damning report into the metropolitan police finds hundreds of officers have been getting away with breaking the law and misconduct. manchester united footballer mason greenwood is due in court, charged with attempted rape, controlling behaviour and assault. a huge win for liverpool but the fans see red at anfield. as mo salah's strike ends manchester city's winless run, the match is overshadowed by the behaviour of some spectators. and even though it's a bit wet and windy for some this morning, plenty of sunshine to come today for many of sunshine to come today for many of you. the details and your full

forecast on breakfast. it's monday, 17th october. our main story: the chancellor will annouce further mini budget u—turns today — two weeks earlier than expected. jeremy hunt is expected to fast—track billions of pounds' worth of tax and spending measures. let's get some more details from our chief political correspondent nick eardley. if you were expecting things to be any calmer this week you will be disappointed because the government had planned to announce more of what it plans to do in the economy and a couple of weeks but the nervousness about the markets and the situation when it comes to the politics have meant ministers think they need to move this forward to today.

the government won't confirm this morning what it will say later but there is a high likelihood that the plan to reduce income tax next year will be scrapped, that 1p of the base rate of income tax has been hovering over the shredder all weekend and there is a good chance weekend and there is a good chance we will get it confirmed that will not go ahead next year as liz truss had planned. ithink not go ahead next year as liz truss had planned. i think the cut to national insurance will still go ahead partly as it is already going through parliament so it is at a fairly advanced stage but the bigger picture is the mini budget, what we mistakenly referred to as the mini budget three and a half weeks ago is pretty much in the shredder, liz truss's economic strategy has been almost completely junked truss's economic strategy has been almost completelyjunked and that leads to a lot of conservative mps asking over the weekend whether she

can survive as prime minister. increasing numbers think it is a question of when and not if she is forced from office and some think things could come to a head within the next few weeks, potentially in the next few weeks, potentially in the next few days. i’m the next few weeks, potentially in the next few days.— the next few days. i'm sure nick will keep us _ the next few days. i'm sure nick will keep us posted _ the next few days. i'm sure nick will keep us posted on - the next few days. i'm sure nick will keep us posted on any i will keep us posted on any developments over the coming hours. a nice quiet start to the coming week! nick talking about the impact on the markets and product things will calm things down. nina's keeping an eye on what this latest announcement might have on the markets this morning. we heard the chancellor sank stability will underpin my politics, by leaping out of the blocks at 6am on monday he's saying i mean business on this. if we go back to the mini budget in september the pound dropped to its lowest against

the dollar in decades, thousands of mortgage deals were taken off the market, it rattled international lenders so the bank of england had tojump into underpin debt. there were potential ramifications for every household in the country, then we saw at u on corporation tax and a high rate of income tax but there was still that volatility, so this is the chancellor saying keep calm, carry on, we will move things in the more fiscally responsible direction today but there are still questions about that volatility. what markets need is a certainty, we have a prime minister who might not see out the week and a gaping hole in public finances, estimates around £40 billion, inflation is high and its possible recession will be confirmed later in the year. if you were a global investor would you look at the uk as somewhere to put your iou?

whether confidence is restored affects all of us. we have seen it with pensions and mortgages and even the amount governments can afford to spend on benefits and schools and hospitals. there is a long way to go out to restore that confidence and it affects every single one of us. nina, thank you, keeping across the numbers for us, nick across the politics and as soon as we have any indication about what the new chancellor will announce, we will bring it to you. the manchester united footballer mason greenwood is due to appear in court today charged with attempted rape, engaging in controlling behaviour and assault. our reporter rowan bridge is outside manchester magistrates' court this morning. do you want to run us through what we are expecting to happen today? able: we are expecting to happen today? is you say the 21—year—old from bowden in greater manchester is due to appear at manchester magistrates'

court later this morning. the building opens at 9am and we expect him to appear suck this morning. he was charged with three offences by manchester police on saturday, all relating to the same woman, of attempted rape, controlling behaviour and assault. they relate to alleged offences over a four—year period between november 2018 and october 2022. period between november 2018 and october2022. given period between november 2018 and october 2022. given the high profile nature of mice greenwood, the crown prosecution service issued a statement pointing out that he was entitled to a fair trial and they also said it was important there should be no reporting commentary or sharing of information online which could prejudice those proceedings. rowan bridge at manchester magistrates' court, thank you. more than 400,000 health workers will be balloted for strikes over growing disputes about issues including pay.

unison announced that its members — from nursing staff to hospital porters and cleaners — will vote in the coming weeks on whether to mount a campaign of industrial action. almost a million nhs workers could be involved in strikes and other forms of industrial action before christmas. we've been asking the government to boost the £1400 that was offered. it's not enough to help health workers pay their bills, and it's not enough to deal with the staffing crisis because as everybody leaves, as more people leave for better paid work outside the nhs, that leaves more work to go around fewer people. so the pressures for those who are left are getting greater and people just cannot cope. it is 70 8am. let's go to matt for a look at this morning's weather and i note you will tell us rain is coming.

we need the rain but there will be sunnier moments this weekend it will be milder than last week. there's quite a bit of wet and windy weather at the moment but a lot of dry weather to come in mid—morning and beyond. let me show you some temperatures, the sort we normally expect during the afternoon in october but 16 and 17 degrees i east anglia and the south—east. we have some rain at the moment, we saw that in westminster so this band will clear through the morning rush hour so more rain to come, showers across scotland and northern ireland but more persistent rain, that rain pushing out across orkney and caithness and edging toward shetland. a few showers in scotland and northern ireland but more sunshine in the next few hours but gale force winds in the northern irish sea will make for a lively start but lots of sunshine

by the iranians to the russians. russia has used those drones to attack locations across the country and in recent weeks has focused on attacking critical civilian infrastructure, power stations, electricity lines in the first report suggests civilian infrastructure was the main target of those attacks this morning. this comes a week after those attacks by russia, missile attacks across the country including in kyiv so these four explosions have been confirmed by the mayor in the capital this morning. by the mayor in the capital this morninu. ., p. ., by the mayor in the capital this morninu. ., ., ., ~ morning. hugo bachega, thank you. the bunker— morning. hugo bachega, thank you. the bunker is _ morning. hugo bachega, thank you. the bunker is the _ morning. hugo bachega, thank you. the bunker is the car _ morning. hugo bachega, thank you. the bunker is the car park— morning. hugo bachega, thank you. the bunker is the car park they i morning. hugo bachega, thank you. the bunker is the car park they have been using under their normal life location, trying to keep everyone safe as they report on those explosions. officers in britain's largest police force are "getting away

with breaking the law and committing misconduct and hundreds should be sacked". that's the conclusion of a new report which also found the metropolitan�*s police internal disciplinary system is racist and misogynist. met police commissioner sir mark rowley says he's appalled by the findings. our special correspondent lucy manning reports. how could a police officer kidnap, rape and kill? it was sarah everard's murder by metropolitan police officer wayne couzens that shocked the country, that made people ask, how could the police be trusted? in the aftermath of sarah everard's murder, baroness louise casey was asked to investigate the met. can it police its own? the answer is no. she found misconduct cases take too long to resolve — on average, more than a year. nearly 60% of cases end without any action taken, especially sexual misconduct and discrimination allegations. there is systemic racial bias with black and asian officers

more likely to be accused of misconduct. too few officers who should be removed for gross misconduct have been, and officers with repeated patterns of unacceptable behaviour aren't identified. i have found in their internal misconduct system that it's not good enough, it's not quick enough and it has racial disparity and the force needs to accept that. the whole force needs to accept it. they mustn't deny it and they mustn't look to find that i've somehow got my homework wrong. the new metropolitan police commissioner says he's appalled and angry, but it's clear these issues aren't new. i'm so angry about how we've let so many people down. what you read about what women and non—white officers are suffering in the organisation, it's disgraceful, our feebleness in our response to that, and i apologise to them that we've let them down so badly and i apologise to the public for what that means for them as well. when two police officers take photos

with the dead bodies of murdered sisters nicole smallman and bibaa henry then share them with colleagues, when police officers, mainly based at charing cross police station, send messages thatjoke about rape, domestic violence and racism, it's clear failing to deal internally with dangerous officers has put the people they serve the public at risk., the public, at risk. lucy manning, bbc news. so as we've just heard in that report two metropolitan police officers were jailed after sharing photographs of sisters bibaa and nicole following their murder. their mother mina smallmanjoins us now. thank you so much forjoining us. we don't underestimate how difficult it must be to go public at times like this but i note you feel strongly

you want to get your message out. having been through what you have been through, what do you make of this report this morning? fine been through, what do you make of this report this morning?— been through, what do you make of this report this morning? one of the thins the this report this morning? one of the things the report — this report this morning? one of the things the report says _ this report this morning? one of the things the report says is _ this report this morning? one of the things the report says is that - this report this morning? one of the things the report says is that none l things the report says is that none of these items are new. they have been known about and they have not been known about and they have not been handled. that's why it has been allowed to escalate to the level of 40 allowed to escalate to the level of a0 odd police officers on the whatsapp group, the photographs of our girls wore on, but also wayne couzens had exposed himself twice and i have said over and over again, i want to note who spoke to him and i want to note who spoke to him and i think people think that's a rhetorical question but it isn't. who said you can carry on working? it's those kind of acts that accelerate and enable misconduct and

i feel terrible for sarah's family i feel terrible for sa rah's family today i feel terrible for sarah's family today to hear that that person could have been stopped in his tracks if there wasn't this kind of, we will let it slide because you are one of us. your daughters were killed in 2020, the most unimaginable loss for people who are watching this morning. to have to go through that and not to read the information we have about what has been going on and what was going on at that time, how did you feel when you read the part of this report that you know about already? how was that for you? it was affirming. i hope i have tried to be measured, i hope i have spoken about the aspects of the

police in our story that were amazing but the level of the corruption, we have known for some time, the macpherson report, there is nothing new that has come out of here. what has happened this time is the report has told uncomfortable truths and it has to be dealt with and sadly my experience has enabled me to be able to research and find out just me to be able to research and find outjust how prevalent this behaviour is and currently the iopc is holding on to several very disturbing incidents that have been investigated but that's just the tip of the iceberg. the investigated but that's 'ust the tip of the iceberg.* of the iceberg. the statute of limitation _ of the iceberg. the statute of limitation needs _ of the iceberg. the statute of limitation needs to _ of the iceberg. the statute of limitation needs to be - of the iceberg. the statute of i limitation needs to be changed of the iceberg. the statute of - limitation needs to be changed for in these cases to be dealt with how they should have been dealt within they should have been dealt within the first place. at the moment the

disciplinary procedure is done in—house. there needs to be a different system in place including vetting and if we are going to have a mass exodus of the rot, i'm really pleased about that but we will need to ensure that who they are replaced with our good people who want to be part of a force to protect us from the bad people. you part of a force to protect us from the bad maple-— the bad people. you said a mass exodus, that's _ the bad people. you said a mass exodus, that's because - the bad people. you said a mass exodus, that's because the - the bad people. you said a mass exodus, that's because the new| exodus, that's because the new commissioner of the met police mark rowley has reacted to this report by saying he will remove hundreds of officers if necessary. he has apologised and admits the met has met let people like you down. what do you make of that statement, does it doesn't go far enough?— it doesn't go far enough? words are ureat but it doesn't go far enough? words are great but deeds _ it doesn't go far enough? words are great but deeds will— it doesn't go far enough? words are great but deeds will be _ it doesn't go far enough? words are great but deeds will be more. - great but deeds will be more. apologies, i think i have said on

record i don't want his sorry, i want him to change and i speak to people and someone yesterday said now that we are hearing this, how are we ever going to trust the police? i have to believe and i want to believe and i believe it's true that most people who join the police force are good people that they are being undermined and if you think about all the risk—takers, the black and asian police officers who join in good faith to change the system from the inside, some of them didn't even get past training. some to get rid of them come if they did something wrong with their comrades would out them straightaway and some of it isn't even correct. so i have

to believe that mark rowley has come in to do this. he didn't have to, let's face it. thisjob in to do this. he didn't have to, let's face it. this job and the prime minister'sare a poisoned chalice. you have to want to do this because i am hoping he is thinking this is a force i love and respect and i'm sick of what is happening. i think a lot of people will appreciate what you are saying that words are one thing that you are looking for action. what is the action you would like? i looking for action. what is the action you would like?- looking for action. what is the action you would like? i want the statute of limitations _ action you would like? i want the statute of limitations taken - action you would like? i want the statute of limitations taken out l action you would like? i want the | statute of limitations taken out so they can prosecute these officers. i don't want disciplinary to be done in—house. i think they need to have a pool of x professionals who have worked in law and public services to

be on the panel and theyjust rotate. the police don't get to choose them, they say we will do this one and also, we want the iopc to have real powers to do theirjob, not have to wait for the match to say yes, you cannot do that when going out so that they can get their ducks all lined up. it's time now for a change and we need that because when we are in trouble, the only people we can call the police and if you are not sure that they are going to be honest and true, we are going to be honest and true, we are all left in a terrible state. finally, you said people have said to you in the last few days how can we trust the police after the events of the last few years? how much trust do you have personally in the

police after everything you have been through? i go police after everything you have been through?— been through? i go back to that family liaison _ been through? i go back to that family liaison person _ been through? i go back to that family liaison person who - been through? i go back to that family liaison person who was l been through? i go back to that| family liaison person who was of been through? i go back to that - family liaison person who was of the police force and the team that worked on the murder trial. they were amazing and so i have seen, if you like, i have seen the full spectrum and i grew up in the 1970s and we all knew that young black men were being picked up and battered senseless. we need to stop this. we really need to accept that there is misogyny, racism, homophobia in every institution but it cannot thrive in the police. wejust cannot have that. thrive in the police. we 'ust cannot have that. ~ . ., ., ~ thrive in the police. we 'ust cannot have that. ~ . . ., ~ , ., , have that. mean that, thank you very much indeed — have that. mean that, thank you very much indeed for _ have that. mean that, thank you very much indeed for talking _ have that. mean that, thank you very much indeed for talking to _

and so far they are looking good? looking good, very pleased, yes. the wallace family from dulverton near exmoor have been guardians of this herd for more than a century. it's one of the founder herds, and the biggest purebred herd in the world. so no pressure. it is a responsibility. i do sometimes get quite emotional about it because it's just a lovely heritage to have. they are just lovely ponies, they are a heritage, they have created the landscape on exmoor. and they keep it as it is. so, yeah, we are very proud of them. after the second world war, when the population of exmoor ponies was depleted, some of my ancestors were one of those few farmers who actually got a group of ponies together and ensured their survival. and now plans for a new gene bank for exmoor ponies should keep them safe forever. over the decades ahead of us, should an outbreak of equine flu

or another serious equine disease break out across the united kingdom, that we have got some future proofing to safeguard these wonderful ponies. the annual health check isn't just a date in the diary for the exmoor ponies. it'sjust marvellous, i mean, wouldn't be without it. certainly part of our calendar, anyway. every year we go to the gathering here. in the netherlands we have a few exmoor ponies, and when i was a little child, i always rode on an exmoor pony. and i said to my mum, when i grow up, i have to go to exmoor to see them in real life and we the — yes, we did it, we love it. we fell in love with it. the nature, the ponies, the beer! the people, the food. the food, yes! so, next october, same time, same place. andrea 0rmsby, bbc news.

good to see them being so well looked after. lovely pictures, gorgeous shots from exmoor this morning. busy start to the week, let's check in with our teams around the uk to get the news where you are. hello, good morning, this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. tfl is preparing to apply for an injunction against just stop oil activists after a fortnight of protests in the capital. a meeting was held between the home secretary, the met police and tfl to discuss the disruption. human rights lawyer adam wagner outlined the scale of new plans. things like blocking infrastructure projects, tunnelling, allowing police to stop and search protesters like they have been in the past able to stop and search in areas where there is suspicion of knife violence.

lots of restrictions on particular protesters, so they will be able to get protest banning orders against individual protesters. finding a place to rent in london appears to be harder than ever. data from rightmove shows demand on the site for new rental properties is up by ia% compared to last year. rowan and her husband were looking for a one bedroom flat. she's now found place, but says it was such a struggle and impacted her mental health. it was very crazy and extremely, extremely depressing. like, overwhelming, it took a toll on us and our mental health and everything. and, yeah, it wasn't ok to go through all of this. all this week we will be running a series of stories about the challenges of private renting. we'll be looking at the cost and availability in london. we want to about your experience. drop us a line.

finally, more than 1,000 teddies left at royal residences in memory of the queen are to be given to a children's charity. barnardo's said they would bring joy to those they support. you can see more on our website. let's take a look at how the tubes are running this morning. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. last night we saw a weather front sweep northeastwards across the capital, bringing outbreaks of rain and some strong gusty winds. also plenty of cloud and we have still got that legacy of the cloud around for a time this morning with a few more dribs and drabs of rain but again they are set to clear. there will be a lot of sunshine emerging today and the rest of the day you'll find that it does stay dry. a brisk south—westerly wind easing down as we head through the afternoon in particular, temperatures peaking at 17 or 18 celsius. with much lighter winds overnight tonight and clear skies,

temperatures could drop perhaps low enough to get a touch of frost on the grass into tomorrow morning, into single figures, with an early mist forming as well. high pressure will keep us dry throughout the day on tuesday and a lot more blue sky and sunshine, a bit of fair weather cloud through the afternoon and temperatures a little lower on tuesday. by the time we get into wednesday, there will be a bit more cloud in the forecast and it is turning rather unsettled towards the end of the working week. that's it from me for now. i'm back in an hour. now back tojon and sally. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. as you'll know, normally at this time, we would be talking to a senior government minister, but after being told yesterday

the secretary of state for work and pensions chloe smith would be available, that offer was withdrawn late last night. we think we know now why? the surprise announcement this morning that the chancellor is to make a statement on more changes to the mini budget might, perhaps, explain that decision. let's get some reaction to all these developments with deputy political editor for the spectator, katy balls and sonia sodha who's the chief leader writer for the observer. i'm sorry we are making you stand in the wet, i apologise! thank you for bearing the weather with us! and film in westminster, hate, katie? what —— another storm in westminster, katie? more you turn blue back, hard to believe. == westminster, katie? more you turn blue back, hard to believe. -- more

in some years to come. whatjeremy hunt is trying to do is trying to send a signal after the mini budget backfired so much is to say that this government does understand fiscal responsibility. the problem is, once credibility is lost, you have to do more drastic link to get it back than you would have had to do in the first place did not lose it, and that is the bind that they find themselves in now. and that the brown mood in the tory party, —— the febrile mood only makes it more complicated. if you don't calm the markets that causes lots of problems to households and also mps in terms of liz truss's longevity. irate to households and also mps in terms of liz truss's longevity.— of liz truss's longevity. we know that the prime _ of liz truss's longevity. we know that the prime minister - of liz truss's longevity. we know that the prime minister and - that the prime minister and chancellor spoke at the chequers yesterday, planning what we are going to hear later today. how pivotal is it that that relationship works and how much attention will there be between those players so far? i there be between those players so far? ., �* ~' , there be between those players so far? ., �* ~ , , ., far? i don't think she is in a position _ far? i don't think she is in a position where _ far? i don't think she is in a position where she - far? i don't think she is in a position where she could i far? i don't think she is in a i position where she could sack far? i don't think she is in a - position where she could sack the chancellor, jeremy hunt is very

labour in some ways because they had said that they back some of these big tax cuts like the ip cut in income tax and now the government looks like it might be doing a u—turn on that so will labour do that as well? but these are not normal times, the government is in such a crisis mode and its economic credibility is shot to pieces. in a usual situation, the conservatives are trusted more on the economy than labour and labour are trusted more on the economy than labourand labourare are trusted more on the economy than labour and labour are seen to flip—flop in response to conservative positions and that might be viewed negatively by voters. but labour is well ahead of the conservatives impulse on whether voters trust them on the economy. that is in the polls. they will be watching closely but letting it all play out for the conservatives while continuing to say, no one voted for liz truss across the country, she does not have a democratic mandate for these policies she has an ounce and we need a general election. sham

phil foden had put his side ahead but var spotted a foul by erling haaland in the build—up so it as disallowed. by erling haaland in the build—up so it was disallowed. and it remained goalless until this ball from the liverpool keeper allison found salah who tucked it past ederson to make it i—0 with ia minutes remaining. cue a tense end to the game. so much so that whenjurgen klopp saw what he felt was a foul on salah, he got sent off for protesting by referee anthony taylor. i actually don't know what role we have here but we can only watch and have to accept what they do. and in that moment, yeah, i snapped, so, my fault. but i think, i hope we agree, and match of the day have enough time to look at that situation and maybe somebody finds an explanation, that was not a foul. to add to the tension, pep guardiola alerted staff to members of the anfield crowd throwing coins at him. it happened after that foden goal was disallowed. guardiola wasn't exactly happy. this is what he had to say.

next time, next time we'll do it better. so didn't get me. they try again next year. they're always going to try but they didn't get it. so, they got it in the coach but not that time. liverpool say they have opened an investigation into that incident and have also have condemned what they describe as "vile" chanting from the city fans. they say "we are deeply disappointed to hear vile chants relating to football stadium tragedies from the away section during the game at anfield. the concourse in the away section was also vandalised with graffiti of a similar nature." arsenal will have been happy with that defeat for manchester city. they'e four points clear at the top after beating leeds i—0. bukayo saka scored the only goal in a game that was delayed due to a powercut. his fourth in three

matches for arsenal. patrick bamford did have the chance to level things up later for the hosts later from the spot, but could not convert. two mason mount goals handed graham potter his third straight win as chelsea manager, as his side beat aston villa 2—0. there were boos at the final whistle for stephen gerrard though with villa fans not happy at their start the season. they are just one point above the relegation zone. i've said on many occasions, i've had support from above. unfortunately a lot of the support is in the treatment room right now. but from my position, i keep fighting, keep leading, keep trying to change this. i will take whatever criticism and pressure comes my way, i will always do that and accept that. and if that helps the players perform like they did for the first hour, i don't think this team have any issues. manchester united's men were held to a frustrating goalless draw by newcastle united at old trafford, but the women's side had no such problems picking up three points. they moved to the top of the super league after thrashing brighton a—0, lionesses star ella toone led

the way for united scoring twice. they're above arsenal and chelsea on goal difference. in the spl, rangers came back from that heavy defeat to liverpool in the champions league by beating motherwell 2—i. it wasn't all smooth sailing. john lundstram did ease the pressure with their second. but after motherwell pulled one back, it was a nervy finish for giovanni van bronckhorst�*s side. elsewhere aberdeen beat hearts 2—0 in the day's other premiership fixture. scotland suffered a heavy defeat in their opening match against italy in the rugby league world cup. they were favourites heading into the game but italy were too strong on the day, jake maizen scored the tournament's first hat—trick in impressive fashion. scotland did pull a try back through lachlan walmsley but it was a mere consolation as the match finished 28—a.

ireland had a better afternoon, they comfortably beat debutants jamaica a8—2 with a ten try victory, toby king had the pick of the tries. the initial group stage of the t20 world cup is under way ireland play zimbabwe later this morning. but scotland are already in action against the west indies. they made 160 in their innings with george munsey the star, lasting the whole 20 overs and unbeaten on 66. the west indies will start their chase shortly, with a target of 161. great britain finished the world track cycling championships with three gold medals. the third of which was provided by neah evans in the points race. she needed to win the final sprint of the event to secure the first individual world title of her career, at the age of 32. that successes follows on from the team pursuit silver that she helped great britain to win earlier in the week.

she had a disappointing weekend in the omnium, but first individual title, bullets to come away from paris with that.— paris with that. they have done really well- _ paris with that. they have done really well. it _ paris with that. they have done really well. it is _ paris with that. they have done really well. it is over _ paris with that. they have done really well. it is over now, - paris with that. they have done really well. it is over now, but. really well. it is over now, but ureat really well. it is over now, but great britain _ really well. it is over now, but great britain doing _ really well. it is over now, but great britain doing really - really well. it is over now, but| great britain doing really well. thank you very much for that. i don't know what it is like outside, little bit of rain in the forecast was mike i am not trying to do your job, i know| was mike i am not trying to do your job, i know i can't! you can, with pleasure! this is not the kind of view you want to make you leap out of bed this morning, rain quite heavily in and around brighton. this is the back edge of the cloud, not1 million miles away in northamptonshire, but once that goes, blue skies overhead. more of us will see sunshine developing through the morning into the

afternoon. even if it is raining at the moment, do not lose heart. the area of low pressure which is around scotland producing most of the rain today, further south are little ridge of high pressure builds meaning drier conditions which will help sunshine developed. in the past hour the heaviest of the rain is south of london crossed pacts of sussex and kent, and then in orkney and some lively showers in glasgow and some lively showers in glasgow and northern ireland through the morning rush hour. away from that, dry conditions with much in the way of sunshine. strong winds on the edge of the cloud. more in the way of gaps between the showers in scotland so quite a lot of drier weather here. shetland is the exception. northern ireland seem more sunshine developing. after the rain in the south—east has cleared in the morning, an afternoon of sunny spells. long spells of sunshine, feeling quite warm, 19

degrees possible, not bad for the stage in october. this evening and overnight it becomes a chilly night. showers across northern scotland, particularly in the north—east, it will be a windy night. further south, clearer skies, a few mist and fog patches, and we could see a touch of frost to start tomorrow morning in the midlands. tomorrow will be the driest and sunniest day of the week, patchy cloud developing in southern counties as the breeze picks up. a bit of a breeze in northern scotland with early showers in the north and north—east but for most of you a dry day, long spells of blue skies. temperatures down a little bit on today's values. with the wind lighter, the sunshine, it will feel quite pleasant. dry conditions dominate in the northern half of the country in the second half of the country in the second half of the week. but rain coming into england and wales as we go into wednesday and northern ireland, strengthening easterly wind, further north we will see cloud increase

across north—east england and a cool feel, north—west scotland will be dry and sunny. through the end of the week, it is going to be low pressure taking hold. dominating the weather charts, meaning greater chance of rain, just about anywhere from thursday across the weekend. strengthening winds as well, but coming from a more south—easterly direction. 18, 19 degrees across much of england and wales. 13 to 15th in scotland and northern ireland, a bit above average for the time of year. even though we will see a cold night night and some rain to end the week, overall quite a mild week in stone. i will go with mild in mid—october. did you know that birmingham

was at the centre of a scientific revolution, thanks to its erratic boulders? large stones scattered around the area led to the discovery of a british ice age. they became a huge tourist attraction when they were discovered 100 years ago, and now they've been rediscovered by a group of enthusiasts, as ben sidwell explains. they're all around, lurking among us. some more discreet, others hiding in plain sight. these are birmingham's boulders, carried by huge glaciers some a50,000 years ago from snowdonia in north wales during the ice age. oh, isn't this a beauty, ben? don't you want to caress it? smoothed by ice! ian fairchild is a former geology professor from the university of birmingham, where one of the boulders was first found back in the late 1800s. in the 19th century, of course, they were just grappling with the idea that there had been an ice age and people were getting everything mixed up with the biblical flood, and how did it all fit together? and birmingham was quite a pivotal area in actually trying to unravel what was going on.

it was around the turn of the 20th century when people began to get really excited about birmingham's boulders. many were moved to more prominent locations like here at cotteridge park and became real attractions. they would put bits of interpretation up so people knew what they were looking at. some of them had fences around and there were lots of pictures and people in theirfinery having their picture taken with these because they were the latest must—have buzz thing. they wanted people, like, "look where i went. look what i saw." just down the road in bournville, another three ancient boulders, with a connection to a rather famous factory. these boulders were found during the building of the cadbury factory. they were known to be something very different from the local rocks, and the cadbury brothers were very interested in them. but it was when they appointed louis barrow as chief engineer, he knew their significance and it's because of him that they've been preserved. over time people lost interest in the boulders. but recently, a new group of enthusiasts have started birmingham's erratic boulders

project. and back at the university of birmingham, at the lapworth museum of geology, there's an exhibition telling the story of the stones. this was that genuine, solid evidence. you can touch it and say this example in places with no ice, you're in birmingham, we have no ice, we've never had ice. ice brought these rocks here and left it here. and we know where it came from and now we know how it got here. and thatjust changed the story for everyone, everywhere. of the boulders that were mapped in 1890, most have disappeared. in fact, the project only know of 130 that remain. one of those that did disappear was here. rowe heath recreation ground, a boulder that was eight feet by five feet by three feet. it was a big boulder. and if you know where it is, the team would love to hear from you. ben sidwell, bbc news. who knew? mulder enthusiasts! ——

minister is a future hangs in the balance. as he seeks to restore confidence and credibility, the way investors react to the chancellor's changes could affect your mortgage, your business loans, your benefits. a damning report into the metropolitan police finds hundreds of officers have been getting away with breaking the law and misconduct. manchester united footballer mason greenwood is due in court, charged with attempted rape, controlling behaviour and assault. a huge win for liverpool but the fans see red at anfield. as mo salah's strike ends manchester city's unbeaten run, the match is overshadowed by the behaviour of some spectators. and mainly pretty wet out there for some of you but throughout the day increasing amounts of sunshine will develop. i will have your full forecast coming up.

good morning, everybody. it's monday, 17th october. our main story: the chancellor will annouce further mini budget u—turns today — two weeks earlier than expected. we are expecting a statement in the next couple of hours. jeremy hunt is expected to fast—track billions of pounds' worth of tax and spending measures. let's get some more details from our chief political correspondent, nick eardley. good morning, nick. where do we start? do we know what's coming and how many changes he is likely to make? ~ ., �* ~' ., how many changes he is likely to make? ~ ., �* ~ ., make? we don't know the exact details, make? we don't know the exact details. the _ make? we don't know the exact details, the government i make? we don't know the exact details, the government isn't i details, the government isn't discussing them this morning because they say they are market sensitive by the end of the date liz truss's economic plan that was announced three and a half weeks ago will be pretty much completely in the bin. this is another set of u—turns we are expecting mid morning when we hearfrom the are expecting mid morning when we hear from the chancellor and then he

will appear before mps this afternoon. it's likely that the plan to reduce income tax next year will be scrapped, the question is whether it goes ahead at all. that cap to national insurance the government also promised will still go ahead, partly because it is at a pretty advanced stage in parliament already but other than that, what was called the mini budget lies in absolute tatters this morning. the chancellor is trying to do two things, first reassure the markets that the government is completely rethinking its economic plan. he has only been in thejob for three its economic plan. he has only been in the job for three days butjeremy hunt was to persuade the markets the government understands concerns and is prepared to act. there were fears over the weekend at the markets were not in a good place this morning, it could be curtains for the government and that leads to the second think the government is trying to do which

is to buy at some time politically. a lot of mps in parliament are mutinous, absolutely furious at the prime minister, who think she has burned any credibility she had and it's a question of when and not if she is forced from office. the government will hope that by setting out the broad parameters of its strategy this morning it can buy her a bit more time to come up with a bigger plan but be under no illusion this morning, what the government is announcing is the completejen king of what it was announcing three and a half weeks ago. it's been a dizzying few weeks in parliament and it will be dizzying again this morning —— the completejumping. does the morning. we can speak now to our economics editor, faisal islam. faisal, what can we expect

from the chancellor? what is there left to do a u—turn on? what is there left to do a u-turn on? ., , what is there left to do a u-turn on? . , ., what is there left to do a u-turn on? ., , ., ., . , on? he has two audiences, the audience of _ on? he has two audiences, the audience of the _ on? he has two audiences, the audience of the markets, i on? he has two audiences, the| audience of the markets, trying on? he has two audiences, the i audience of the markets, trying to re—establish some of that lost credibility, that the british government will control its finances and it's boring but also that it is in control, that what it announces will happen. some of that has been lacking since the mini budget so whatjeremy hunt is seeking to achieve by bringing it forward, if he knew what he is going to do then what's the point in waiting? we just had the first response from these markets where these ious owed by the government to big financial houses where they are traded and the government will be quite happy that

the effective borrowing costs for it have fallen quite considerably as the markets opened five minutes ago. and these sort of borrowing rights then filter in, as we have learnt, into mortgages and into business lending rates, so it's still pretty high compared to where we were but it's going in the right direction so there was some concern it would go all the way up again because the bank of england had stopped providing emergency help so that is the breaking news. we will leave it there for a minute. i do get excited by charts, i will show you my chart in a minute but if you want to know how the measures will affect people at home, what we will see are some of the tax cuts left that haven't been on like the basic rate income tax cut, that is likely to be delayed further and some of the smaller tax cuts, that gets you to

about £10 million. what i don't think will happen is the national insurance cut that was a big part of liz truss's offered to the nation, i think that has gone too far for them to reverse it so that it remains but we might get some spending cuts, that could affect benefits and tax credits and public services so the mini budget as it was from just three weeks ago will start to look very mini to non—existent and this will almost felt like the start of an entirely different budget statement designed for a new chancellor who was looking very much in control of events. for chancellor who was looking very much in control of events.— in control of events. for someone sittin: at in control of events. for someone sitting at home — in control of events. for someone sitting at home having _ in control of events. for someone sitting at home having breakfast, | in control of events. for someone i sitting at home having breakfast, as things are at this moment it looks like maybe interest rates will become less of a concern on mortgages and loans but people might end up paying more in taxes, is that a summary?—

end up paying more in taxes, is that a summa ? . , ., , ., , a summary? that is a good summary, i wouldn't want — a summary? that is a good summary, i wouldn't want to _ a summary? that is a good summary, i wouldn't want to overstate _ a summary? that is a good summary, i wouldn't want to overstate the - wouldn't want to overstate the interest rate, it's more like it won't get much worse. the fear was that if you lose confidence what was four or 5% goes up to seven or eight. that has been headed off. things are still higher than they were three orfour weeks things are still higher than they were three or four weeks ago so some of those extra mortgage rates are still filtering into the system, but this is a relief that may beat you won't feel, that they won't get much worse. sorry not to come with loads of good news but it's the absence of further bad news more than it is good news but that is a start. hopefully the aim of the government will be to turn this around and it means when the bank of england make their next right decision, they may not have to raise quite as much as they feared so that is where we are. we expect more details mid—morning and then an announcement to the house of commons in the afternoon. i

will let you get back to your chart you love so much. thank you, faisal islam. officers in the metropolitan police have been getting away with breaking the law and committing misconduct, according to a damning report published this morning. baroness louise casey found that many claims of sexual misconduct, misogyny, racism and homophobia were badly mishandled. the force's new commissioner, sir mark rowley, says he's appalled by the findings. our special correspondent lucy manning reports. how could a police officer kidnap, rape and kill? it was sarah everard's murder by metropolitan police officer wayne couzens that shocked the country, that made people ask, how could the police be trusted? in the aftermath of sarah everard's murder, baroness louise casey was asked to investigate the met. can it police its own? the answer is no. she found misconduct cases take too long to resolve — on average, more than a year. nearly 60% of cases end without any action taken,

especially sexual misconduct and discrimination allegations. there is systemic racial bias with black and asian officers more likely to be accused of misconduct. too few officers who should be removed for gross misconduct have been, and officers with repeated patterns of unacceptable behaviour aren't identified. i have found in their internal misconduct system that it's not good enough, it's not quick enough and it has racial disparity and the force needs to accept that. the whole force needs to accept it. they mustn't deny it and they mustn't look to find that i've somehow got my homework wrong. the new metropolitan police commissioner says he's appalled and angry, but it's clear these issues aren't new. i'm so angry about how we've let so many people down. what you read about what women and non—white officers are suffering in the organisation, it's disgraceful, our feebleness in our response to that, and i apologise to them

that we've let them down so badly and i apologise to the public for what that means for them as well. i don't want your sorry, i want you to change _ i don't want your sorry, i want you to change and — i don't want your sorry, i want you to change and i— idon't want your sorry, i want you to change and i speak— idon't want your sorry, i want you to change and i speak to- i don't want your sorry, i want you to change and i speak to people i i don't want your sorry, i want you i to change and i speak to people and someone _ to change and i speak to people and someone yesterday— to change and i speak to people and someone yesterday said _ to change and i speak to people and someone yesterday said to - to change and i speak to people and someone yesterday said to me, i to change and i speak to people andj someone yesterday said to me, now that we _ someone yesterday said to me, now that we are — someone yesterday said to me, now that we are hearing _ someone yesterday said to me, now that we are hearing this, _ someone yesterday said to me, now that we are hearing this, how- someone yesterday said to me, now that we are hearing this, how are i someone yesterday said to me, now| that we are hearing this, how are we ever going _ that we are hearing this, how are we ever going to — that we are hearing this, how are we ever going to trust _ that we are hearing this, how are we ever going to trust the _ that we are hearing this, how are we ever going to trust the police? i- ever going to trust the police? i have _ ever going to trust the police? i have to — ever going to trust the police? i have to believe _ ever going to trust the police? i have to believe and _ ever going to trust the police? i have to believe and i _ ever going to trust the police? i have to believe and i want i ever going to trust the police? i have to believe and i want to i have to believe and i want to believe — have to believe and i want to believe and _ have to believe and i want to believe and i— have to believe and i want to believe and i believe - have to believe and i want to believe and i believe it's- have to believe and i want toj believe and i believe it's true have to believe and i want to i believe and i believe it's true that most _ believe and i believe it's true that most people _ believe and i believe it's true that most people who _ believe and i believe it's true that most people who join _ believe and i believe it's true that most people who join the - believe and i believe it's true that most people who join the police i most people whojoin the police force _ most people whojoin the police force are — most people whojoin the police force are good _ most people whojoin the police force are good people _ most people whojoin the police force are good people but- most people whojoin the police force are good people but theyl most people who join the police i force are good people but they are being _ force are good people but they are being undermined. _ when two police officers take photos with the dead bodies of murdered sisters nicole smallman and bibaa henry then share them with colleagues, when police officers, mainly based at charing cross police station, send messages thatjoke about rape, domestic violence and racism, it's clear failing to deal internally with dangerous officers has put the people they serve, the public, at risk. lucy manning, bbc news.

the manchester united footballer mason greenwood is due to appear in court today charged with attempted rape, engaging in controlling behaviour and assault. our reporter rowan bridge is outside manchester magistrates' court this morning. what can you tell us about what will happen today? the what can you tell us about what will happen today?— what can you tell us about what will happen today? the 21-year-old from the ltowden — happen today? the 21-year-old from the bowden area _ happen today? the 21-year-old from the bowden area of— happen today? the 21-year-old from the bowden area of greater - the bowden area of greater manchester is due here later this morning. the building opens at around 9am and proceedings normally get under way at around 10:30am. mason greenwood was charged with three offences by greater manchester police all relating to the same woman. he is charged with attempted rape, coercive and controlling behaviour and assault causing bodily harm. it relates to a four—year period between november 2018 and

october given the high profile nature of mason greenwood is a premier league footballer the crown prosecution service who authorised the charges against him issued a statement pointing out he was entitled to a fair trial and warning it important they should be no reporting commentary or sharing information online which could prejudice those proceedings. clearly they are worried about people taking to social media and commenting ahead of any court case. to social media and commenting ahead of any court case-— of any court case. some more breaking — of any court case. some more breaking news. _ there have been a number of explosions this morning in kyiv exactly a week after russian strikes on the ukrainian capital. air raid sirens sounded shortly before the two blasts. our correspondent hugo bachega is there for us this morning. you go, you are back out on the roof so does that mean you have had the all clear? we so does that mean you have had the all clear? ~ ., so does that mean you have had the all clear? ~ . ., . ., all clear? we had the all clear about 40 _ all clear? we had the all clear about 40 minutes _ all clear? we had the all clear about 40 minutes ago, i all clear? we had the all clear about 40 minutes ago, is i all clear? we had the all clear about 40 minutes ago, isjust| about a0 minutes ago, is just 10:15am in kyiv and we had an update

from the mayor saying four explosions had been confirmed and he said several residential buildings have been damaged and a fire broke out in a residential facility. have been damaged and a fire broke out in a residentialfacility. he said 18 residents have been rescued from the rubble of this building and three others are still missing so rescue teams are still at one of the places that was hit by these attacks earlier today. the first explosion happened a little after 6:30am and then ten minutes later there was a second explosion very close to our hotel in the city centre. we heard from the president's office saying that so—called kamikaze drones have been used in these attacks, these have been provided by the iranians to the russians and russian forces have been using them to attack civilian sites across the country. we don't know what places have been

targeted but russia has been attacking civilian infrastructure across the country recently and ukraine has been saying this is how russia is reacting to its recent military defeats on the battlefield by attacking civilian sites and infrastructure across the country. for now, if thank you. more than a00,000 health workers will be balloted for strikes over growing disputes about issues including pay. unison announced that its members, from nursing staff to hospital porters and cleaners, will vote in the coming weeks on whether to mount a campaign of industrial action. almost a million nhs workers could be involved in strikes and other forms of industrial action before christmas. we've been asking the government to boost the £1a00 that was offered. it's not enough to help health workers pay their bills, and it's not enough to deal with the staffing crisis because as everybody leaves, as more people leave for better paid work outside the nhs, that leaves more work

to go around fewer people. so the pressures for those who are left are getting greater and people just cannot cope. it's 8:15am. we are getting more information about what we can expect today for the economy. we expect the new chancellor atjeremy hunt to give a statement mid—morning about what he planned to do on tax then there will be a full statement to there will be a full statement to the house of commons at 3:30pm. the markets and conservative backbenchers are watching closely, not just what it says about the chancellor's plans but where it leaves liz truss as well. and as vital as lamp was think this is notjust about and as vital as lamp was think this is not just about the economic support to politics and what it means for liz truss. —— as faisal islam was saying.

here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. you are promising it is not going to be too cold. if it's raining at the moment it will not be cold but let me show you this shot from north—east england, this shot from north—east england, this cloud brought the rain tonight and this is what is falling behind so sunshine for the majority but not too cold, these temperatures at the moment more akin to an october afternoon never mind first thing but there is that wet weather, heavy rain towards the south—east of england, it's affecting east anglia and london and showers packing into scotland western and northern ireland. that will continue this morning, rain edging toward chapman but eastern scotland seeing more sunshine. sunny to the east of northern ireland but here around northern ireland but here around northern irish sea coast we see strong to gale force winds, plenty of sunshine in the next few hours

under the channel islands, east staying with the cloud staying with rain which will clear by the end of the morning and then sunny conditions for the rest of the day. it's blustery especially across that swathe from northern ireland to southern england and scotland. this is where we will see gale force winds. more persistent rain in shetland and warm for the stage in october, if you the sunshine up to 18 or 19 degrees. this evening and overnight blustery wind makes it feel colder but overall the chilly —esque night of the week. a touch of frost tomorrow across wales and the midlands but it will be the sunniest day of the week tomorrow before we see more rain develop later on. adolescence is a high—risk time for developing eating disorders and the pandemic resulted in even more children and young people seeking help. more children and from today, nurses in schools across england will receive a toolkit to help them offer support and spot early warning signs.

tim muffett has this report. hello! life is good for katie. but 10 years ago, when she was 1a, it began to feel bleak and overwhelming. i developed an eating disorder in around 2012 and i began kind of restricting my food. i was very, very good at masking it and hiding it. how bad did things get for you? pretty bad. so weight loss, i lost my periods for a good few years. i did not really have much concern for my own safety and didn't really appreciate my own mortality. and looking back, there are several occasions where i very well could have died. years of treatment and support have helped katie overcome her eating disorder. today, the uk's first eating disorder manifesto is being launched

to try and remove the stigma and misunderstanding that can surround the condition. it'll include a toolkit for school nurses to help them and other staff support pupils. could it have helped you when you were younger? i think so, yes. i know a lot of my teachers probably did really care and were concerned, but didn't really know what to do. and in my head at the time, i was thinking, oh, well, no—one's even noticing. like, no—one cares. i obviously don't look ill enough. during the pandemic, many people said that, perhaps unsurprisingly, they felt more anxious or isolated than normal. but it seems that covid has also had a specific impact on eating disorders. between march 2020 and march 2022, the number of children and young people in england waiting to start nhs treatment for eating disorders rose by almost three and a half times.

fear and lack of control and all those kind of things can lead to eating disorder behaviours. and i think it was a very uncertain and fearful world we were living in. a hallmark of eating disorders is deception, and it's much more difficult to deceive people when you are with them 2a/7. so i think that could also have been why more cases were detected. the government says that last year it provided an extra £79 million to expand children's mental health services, including access for at least 2,000 more children and young people to eating disorder support. katie now has a wholehearted appetite for life. she just wants others with eating disorders to experience the joy she once feared would never return. tim muffett, bbc news. we're joined now by sharon white, who is a school nurse, and campaigner hope virgo.

good morning to you both. hope, ifi good morning to you both. hope, if! can come to you first, why is this toolkit so badly needed in schools? we have seen a huge rise in the number of people with eating disorders and while we are seeing it in adults we are also seeing huge numbers in children and we know that schools and school nurses are often having to pick up pieces around treatment because there are not enough services out there for people to access so the toolkit will empower schools to talk about it, to get in early for our young person struggling with an eating disorder and then we can focus on early intervention and hopefully preventing that individual escalating to needing full hospital treatment. we escalating to needing full hospital treatment. ~ ., escalating to needing full hospital treatment. ~ . ., escalating to needing full hospital treatment. . ., ,. , treatment. we have a school nurse here, treatment. we have a school nurse here. good — treatment. we have a school nurse here, good morning, _ treatment. we have a school nurse here, good morning, sharon. i treatment. we have a school nurse here, good morning, sharon. what kind of issues are you seeing? brute

hello, good morning, this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. tfl is preparing to apply for an injunction against just stop oil activists after a fortnight of protests in the capital. a meeting was held between the home secretary, the met police and tfl to discuss the disruption. human rights lawyer adam wagner outlined the scale of new plans. things like blocking infrastructure projects, tunnelling, allowing police to stop and search protesters like they have been in the past able to stop and search in areas where there is suspicion of knife violence. lots of restrictions on particular protesters, so they will be able to get protest banning orders against individual protesters. this morning two activists from just stop oil have climbed to the top of the qe2 bridge forcing police to close it. on the website the campaign group claims

the bridge will remain shut for at least 2a hours. finding a place to rent in london appears to be harder than ever. data from rightmove shows demand on the site for new rental properties is up by ia% compared to last year. rowan and her husband travelled across the capital looking for a one bedroom flat. she's now found a place, but says it was such a struggle. it was very crazy and extremely, extremely depressing. like, overwhelming, it took a toll on us and our mental health and everything. and, yeah, it wasn't 0k to go through all of this. all this week we will be running a series of stories about the challenges of private renting. we'll be looking at the cost and availability in london. we want to hear about your experience. drop us a line. let's take a look at how the tubes are running this morning.

now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. last night we saw a weather front sweep northeastwards across the capital, bringing outbreaks of rain and some strong gusty winds. also plenty of cloud and we have still got that legacy of the cloud around for a time this morning with a few more dribs and drabs of rain but again they are set to clear. there will be a lot of sunshine emerging today and the rest of the day you'll find that it does stay dry. a brisk south—westerly wind easing down as we head through the afternoon in particular, temperatures peaking at 17 or 18 celsius. with much lighter winds overnight tonight and clear skies, temperatures could drop perhaps low enough to get a touch of frost on the grass into tomorrow morning, into single figures, with an early mist forming as well. high pressure will keep us dry throughout the day on tuesday and a lot more blue sky and sunshine, a bit of fair weather cloud through the afternoon and temperatures a little lower on tuesday. by the time we get into wednesday, there will be a bit more cloud in the forecast and it is turning rather unsettled towards the end of the working week.

that's it from me for now. now back tojon and sally. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. coming up after breakfast all this week angela rippon, gloria hunniford and julia somerville will be here with rip off britain's live "cost of living special". they're here to tell us more. you have got a busy week ahead? we have! we're tackling the subject on everybody�*s minds right now, and that's the rising cost of living. all week we're going to be fronting up the firms which could be making things a lot easier and cheaper, from your broadband provider to your energy company, and many more.

and it's energy we're kicking off with today. now, sally, jon, do you have a smart meter at home? ido, yeah. i do, yeah. i got it literally on wednesday last week, and i spent most of the weekend watching it. you get a bit obsessed! you most of the weekend watching it. you get a bit obsessed!— most of the weekend watching it. you get a bit obsessed!- i - most of the weekend watching it. you get a bit obsessed!- i don't i get a bit obsessed! you do! i don't have one yet. _ get a bit obsessed! you do! i don't have one yet, do _ get a bit obsessed! you do! i don't have one yet, do i _ get a bit obsessed! you do! i don't have one yet, do i need _ get a bit obsessed! you do! i don't have one yet, do i need one? - get a bit obsessed! you do! i don't. have one yet, do i need one? watch the programme _ have one yet, do i need one? watch the programme and _ have one yet, do i need one? watch the programme and you _ have one yet, do i need one? watch the programme and you will- have one yet, do i need one? watch the programme and you will find - have one yet, do i need one? matt“! the programme and you will find out whether you do or not! i have one, and like millions of you, ifind it incredibly useful to see exactly how much energy i'm using to help me keep on top of my bills. but we've been hearing from people who have had a very different experience, with smart meters that either aren't working, or who've been waiting months to have one installed, and they say it's making it impossible to budget properly.

when the metre do get fitted, i'm going _ when the metre do get fitted, i'm going to _ when the metre do get fitted, i'm going to be hit with a massive ketchup — going to be hit with a massive ketchup bill. i don't think i can afford — ketchup bill. idon't think i can afford to— ketchup bill. i don't think i can afford to pay this. i am trying as much _ afford to pay this. i am trying as much as— afford to pay this. i am trying as much as i— afford to pay this. i am trying as much as i can to cutback on use of my energy. — much as i can to cutback on use of my energy, until i know what i'm going _ my energy, until i know what i'm going to — my energy, until i know what i'm going to be — my energy, until i know what i'm going to be billed for. also today, the energy saving advice you should avoid at all costs! if you're being bombarded on social media with money saving tips, beware. some of them could end up costing you, and others might even get you into trouble. we've found people offering to remove your energy meters altogether but not being honest about the repercussions. there you go! we have good news though, as well. from the broadband deals that could save you a packet to tips on how to beat the rising cost of owning a pet. and today, the king of thrifty travel, we love him being here, simon calder has advice to cut the cost of everything

holiday—related — from half term daytrips to next year's week in the sun. if you have a question for simon — or personal finance expert sarah pennells who's also with us today — send them in now! sounds like a busy week, can't wait to come i will be watching! thank you very much, see you at 9:15am. ! you very much, see you at 9:15am. i am going to be watching my smart metre instead! a busy week everywhere. children in need kicks off next month and that means some mammoth fundraising events are about to get under way. the rickshaw challenge is one of them. this year, for the first time ever, matt baker and the team will be live with bbc breakfast every morning, so we can follow their journey in real time. our reporter fi lamdin is in sunderland today where it all starts. good morning, and they'll set?

sharing! —— cheering all of alexander's family and friends are here to support him, here he is, getting ready. in a moment he will be setting. first of all, i have been spending a couple of days him, finding out what he loves. alexander is 16. today he's glass—blowing. a new hobby that requires bags of confidence. lovely! he lives forfootball, his 16 guinea pigs, and pebble painting. i have autism. when i was two, i never used to talk.

but when i got to five, talking is one of my favourite things to do. so i never stopped talking. dad does the drawing, i do the proper painting, and mum does the varnishing. and at the end of it, we'll give them out to people. alexander was diagnosed when he was two. i used to take him to toddler groups. and sometimes he just wasn't really very settled and wanted to go. and he was running around and wouldn't sit for, like, sit down and drink time, or engage with other kids. the health visitor, when he was running all overjust said, "is he always like this?" i think it was the i delay in his speech. that was the main thing that was obvious. - you could tell there was something there that wasn't right. _ but at that time, i don't think it was a concern. i we were just thinking, oh, you know, they often say it can be _ a developmental delay. you know, all of a sudden he'll start talking and there'll be - loads of words, but it

just never happened. | it was like a bereavement, really. like, you just felt like the little boy you thought you had, it felt like you'd lost something. and for many years, alexander has struggled making friends. i had nowt to do. in recent years, i used to just sit on the sofa and just relax every night. but that's all changed. there's now a youth group for disabled children, entirely funded by children in need. what do you like doing at grace house? making new friends and being part of a family, more like. friends become family. 32 disabled children come every week. before grace house opened its doors, some of these were vulnerable in town. they've been victimised by other young people living in their community. they've been called names. they've suffered hate crime. they've had to run away from people who were chasing them.

i've seen them swap birthday invites with new friends, or they're able to go out and expand. it'sjust, you know, an opportunity to make fantastic memories and make lifelong friends. as well as flapjack making, today they've got a special visit from sid, a four stone burmese python. alexander, you're feeling terribly... brave, yes. bit more relaxed than i am. tell me why you love coming to this youth group. because it's relaxing and it's chilled out for anybody who needs anything. do you think it's relaxing, having this snake wrapped around us? it depends who you ask. are you finding it relaxing? yes, i'm finding it relaxing all around me! well, i can't even see you, you're sort of... i'm, like, covered my face! i can still breathe normally. once you start knuckling down and getting them in the right school and going to clubs, meeting friends, meeting other

families, then it's probably just what our normal is. it's nothing where you think we've got a disabled child. he's stilljust our little lad at the end of the day. when you think what he was like when he was little, he's progressed beyond recognition now. ifeel more confident of going to that club to learn new skills and be myself. we can see the possibility of him making something of himself and having a job and doing lots of nice things. all we can do is give them lots of opportunities and in really see what happens, the same as with every other child as well. alexander's supporters are lining the route, they are ready, and we have got a special goodbye from his nan and grandad. he must be so proud to. we nan and grandad. he must be so proud to. ~ ., , nan and grandad. he must be so proud to. ~ . , , ., . nan and grandad. he must be so proud to. . . ., nan and grandad. he must be so proud

in scotland, it will be windy in north—east england and scotland, but might be the only where the hazard. there is a lot of dry and sunny weather to come even here in the channel islands where we saw the rain earlier, the cloud is thinning and we see sunshine peeking up towards the east. areas of low pressure are clearing north and east, it will be there across parts of scotland, on the southern edge we will have the wind. that will affect part of northern england today. here is where the rain is at the moment, clearing away from the south east, heavy showers in the north—west of scotland. persistent rain in orkney will head towards shetland through today. a few showers for northern ireland, the odd shower in north—west england but much of and wales, will be enjoying some long spells of sunshine. windy across the northern half of the country.

sunshine for the stage in october, it will fee warm. there will be some longer spells of sunshine. showers will continue, but would like to wind in the south it will be mist and fog patches. temperatures in rural parts of england and wales could get low enough for a touch of frost. what is that it will be, lovely and crisp and sunny for all, a few showers in north—east scotland and patchy cloud in north—east england, and in seven counties of england, and in seven counties of england where the breeze will pick up, the nicest day of the week. temperatures down a little bit on today tomorrow. beyond that, low pressure will push away, a gradual

process. further north and east it should be dry, a bit cloudy, best of the sunshine in north—west scotland. thursday friday, a little bit more widely mainly. for the last 20 years tommy blaize has been a fundamental part of the strictly come dancing team, providing vocal accompaniments on some of the show�*s most famous moments like ed ball's gangnam style. we will never forget that! we will never get it out of our heads. now he's preparing for a new role on tour with the national youth jazz orchestra celebrating the music of ray charles. before we speak to tommy let's take a look at a clip from strictly this weekend. # ta na ne, ta na ne, ta na ne, ta na na te boy # with a little bit of luck, we can make it through the night
