on october 18th 1922. and these are some of the thousands of people who have featured on our screens and airwaves ever since. a range of special programming and commemorative events is being held over the next few weeks to mark the anniversary. the king will be taking part in a special edition of the repair shop, and in strictly, dancers will be performing to some well known bbc theme tunes. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. the first tv weather forecast was backin the first tv weather forecast was back in 1954, the first tv weather forecast was backin1951i, not the first tv weather forecast was back in 1954, not quite 100 years ago, but there have been plenty since and they have not all look quite as good as this. we had some beautiful blue skies and sunshine overhead in many places right now, however that is set to change because of this world of cloud in

the atlantic, a really big area of low pressure slowly but surely starting to take control of the weather. notjust yet, most other state with sunshine through the rest of the afternoon, cloud feeding into eastern scotland and north—east england on quite a chilly northerly breeze, temperatures just 12 degrees for aberdeen, 18 for plymouth, by the end of the day, things will change. we will see clouds and showers, some thunderstorms breaking out across the south—west of england, drifting into wales through the evening. could be torrential downpours and places, frequent lightning and turning windy. some showers getting into northern ireland by the end of the night, most other areas dry but with extensive cloud and the odd spot of drizzle across northern and eastern scotland, north—east england, 6 degrees for glasgow, very mild towards the south. this big area of low pressure starts to make a move,

you can see various frontal systems rotating, showers and longer spells of rain through the next few days. tomorrow brings warm weather for many particularly in the south, something rather chilly across northern parts where we will start mostly dry but rather clarity across eastern scotland and north—east england, showers drift northwards through the day but they will weaken as they go —— mostly dry but rather cloudy. it will be windy, those are the average width speeds, quite dusty in places particularly around west coast of wales, could see gusts of 45 mph, but look at the temperatures, 22 degrees injersey, just ten in aberdeen, quite a range tomorrow. tomorrow night and into thursday further showers, longer spells of rain drifting northwards, some of the rain heavy and thundery, it could be quite wet started thursday in the south east corner, some sunshine developing in places

throughout the day and for the time of year are relatively warm feel, particularly in the south, highs of 19 or 20 degrees and we stick with that relatively unsettled theme, rain at times but not all the time, quite warm for the time of year. a reminder of our top story... mist is have been leaving their weekly meeting in downing street, prime minister liz truss apologised last night for the mistake she has made since entering under. that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. it's time for some sport here on the

bbc news channel. i'm cute ferris with the increasing scrutiny on the conduct of football referees. frank lampard says they have a responsibility to behave on the touchline but he thinks there is not a connection with what managers do and the abuse of referees. jurgen klopp was sent off at the weekend port shouting at an assistant referee. we have a resnonsibility. _ an assistant referee. we have a responsibility, i— an assistant referee. we have a responsibility, i understand - an assistant referee. we have a. responsibility, i understand that, and there is also a microscope on managers in the modern day where we are in highly pressurised jobs. it's easy for me to sit here in a camp moment and say we should be better but the amount of pressure you come under and decisions that go against you can throw you.— you can throw you. there are two premier league _ you can throw you. there are two premier league matches - you can throw you. there are two| premier league matches tonight, you can throw you. there are two - premier league matches tonight, one of which involves bottom club nottingham forest who play brighton

and now they cannot afford to fall behind their rivals. we have to have the attitude of being very good today and in the next game because if we have that mentality of waiting then who knows? things could be too late and we have already put and we have already put ourselves in a situation now where we have to get some wins to catch up in terms of getting out of the relegation zone. we have to face up to that, we are in the relegation zone and want to get out of it. it is still fairly early. mps will consider rugby union's domestic financial crisis next month and will question representatives from both the rfu and the premiership at a dcms committee hearing that will examine the viability of the game. yesterday it was confirmed wasps have gone into administration. 167 people, including players and coaches across the rugby and netball teams, have lost their jobs. they're the second club forced out of business in three weeks following worcester warriors. one of the joint administrators has been speaking to the bbc�*s rugby union weekly podcast. there is a process we are going through with the rugby

and football union and prl, depending which entity takes it forward and that isn't a quick process so first we have to find someone who wants to take rugby forward, if we just talk about rugby, and then when we have that preferred entity we have to make sure they can introduce the rfu to start their fit and proper process and given the scrutiny they have had recently over that process, i'm sure that will be a more robust and longer process of delving into forecasts so that will take time, so that is the problem, time is what we don't have. wales captain dan biggar has been ruled out of the autumn series with injury after suffering a knee problem at the weekend before last. five new caps have been called up but wayne pivac has not yet declared a replacement for dan biggar. england bowler reece topley

could miss their opening game of the t20 world cup after twisting his ankle in training. they play afghanistan on saturday in perth. sri lanka got their world cup back on track. that's despite losing three wickets in three balls as united arab emirates' karthik meiyappan took a hat—trick. it helped restrict sri lanka to 152 for eight off their 20 overs. they build out uae for 73. netherlands lead that group with two wins out of two. they beat namibia, chasing down 122 with five wickets and three balls to spare. the dutch have a great chance of making the super 12 stage. they will be joined there by all the competition contenders. we will have more in the next hour but that is all the sport for now. good afternoon. you're watching bbc news. we will take a look at a few other stories making the news here this lunchtime and start with a story from the capital. 0ladeji 0mishore died injune this year,

after being tasered by two metropolitan police officers on chelsea bridge in london. his family are today launching legal action against the police watchdog, the iopc, forfailing to criminally investigate the two officers involved. greg mckenzie reports. 41—year—old 0ladeji 0mishore, known to his friends and family as deji, seen here celebrating his birthday. the son, brother and uncle was in the prime of his life. he died shortly after being tasered multiple times injune. a passer—by filmed the incident. shortly after the scenes on chelsea bridge, deji fell into the river thames. the metropolitan police claimed they'd been called out to reports of a man armed with a screwdriver. but in these images there is no screwdriver. it later emerged deji, who was having a mental health crisis, had actually been

holding a lighter. the family's main concern is about this issue that they find out each time we think of the people, the two police officers that did this to to our beloved son is still allowed to be continue with that normal dayjob as though they haven't done anything wrong. today, the family is beginning legal action against the independent office for police conduct. they are challenging the iopc�*s decision not to hold a criminal investigation into his death, which they believe was unlawful and irrational. he was a human being that was treated in a very inhumane manner, which we strongly feel... i strongly feel that police officers cannot continue to be... to conduct themselves without impunity. and the iopc, the met commissioner,

they have a responsibility to restore our trust and the public's trust. we cannot continue to experience unjust killing of our black men in our community. the legal action comes just a day after the damning findings highlighted in a report detailing serious misconduct with the metropolitan police. the interim casey review has shown that if within the police force that, you know, there are officers who have behaved illegally and that's not being challenged. in a statement, the iopc said its thoughts and sympathies remain with the family and friends of 0ladeji 0mishore, but says at this stage it has no indication that any of the officers involved may have breached police professional standards or committed a criminal offence. greg mckenzie, bbc news. the us actor kevin spacey has taken the stand at his civil trial

slave labour is a growing problem in the uk which often goes unnoticed. it's really worrying because it in plain sight so things like car washes, nail bars, construction sites, especially with the cost of living people are short of money and are prepared to do whatever they need to do to feed their families. city arts is a charity in south yorkshire which helps victims of modern slavery. they provide emergency accommodation as well as advice and counselling. ianthem emergency accommodation as well as advice and counselling.— advice and counselling. when he was in his old accommodation _ advice and counselling. when he was in his old accommodation at - advice and counselling. when he was in his old accommodation at the - in his old accommodation at the traffickers — in his old accommodation at the traffickers came in and they were using _ traffickers came in and they were using his — traffickers came in and they were using his place to sell and grow drugs _ using his place to sell and grow

she had a really good sense of humour when she was well. when she wasn't well, it was awful. from the age of 13, when she tried to take her own life, jessica had been in and out of psychiatric hospital hundreds of miles away. she was eventually diagnosed with unstable borderline personality disorder. she died in august 2020 after she had been admitted to yeovil�*s a&e, where she was transferred as an inpatient to rowan ward at summerlands hospital for a few days. she was found in a critical state by staff. she didn't come out for meds, so they wennt to her room and she wasn't there. but the room she got into, she tried to squeeze out of a ten centimetres gap in the window. she squeezed, then she got trapped between her waist and chest, and that's where they found her. jessica was then admitted to intensive care, treated for oxygen starvation, but died a few days later. her parents have already waited two years for an inquest, but were dismayed to be told it would take between three and six months for a hearing to take place before a jury. we still now have no closure to this and we are still living in agony, because we want this out the way so we can put our point of view across, so we can say ok,

we don't want this, to happen to another family, because what we've been through has been horrendous, notjust her death, but the ten years prior to that. in 2017, 378 inquests had been opened across the country for more than two years. but in 2021, the figure had risen to 1366, or 8%. across the west of england, more than nine times as many inquests were open for more than two years in 2021 compared to five years earlier. somerset�*s acting coroner has declined to comment to the bbc, but has told jessica's parents that due to the pandemic that the service was unable for 18 months to progress any cases that were not covid—related. she's apologised to the family for the backlog. the ministry ofjustice have said they've provided more than £6 billion to local authorities to recoverfrom the pandemic.

but charity inquest says the delays started long before the pandemic. the inquest system is a postcode lottery, and different families in different parts of the uk are facing different delays. what we fear and what is our main concern at inquest is that the longer inquests are put off, the longer people have to wait for the evidence and the lessons to be learned. but forjessica's parents and other bereaved familes, it looks like a long wait forjustice. the m25 remains closed at the dartford crossing for a second day. climate protesters scaled the qe2 bridge in the early hours of yesterday and since then all traffic has been diverted to the dartford tunnel is with severe delays on the motorway and surrounding groups. national highways says it has no

estimate when the bridge will reopen and it's causing local anger. let's get the latest from chrissie reidy who was in dartford. what is happening there? it’s who was in dartford. what is happening there?— who was in dartford. what is happening there? who was in dartford. what is ha enin: there? �*, , happening there? it's the second day that the oh — happening there? it's the second day that the qe2 bridge _ happening there? it's the second day that the qe2 bridge has _ happening there? it's the second day that the qe2 bridge has been - that the qe2 bridge has been completely closed and this is a very busy thoroughfare any day of the week so the impact is huge and surrounding areas and businesses. i spoke to one local businessman who says he has had no deliveries since yesterday morning and staff cannot get to where they need to be sojust stop 0il protesters scaled the bridge in the early hours of monday to protest over a new government oil and gas licenses. we spoke to them earlier, they say they have no intention of coming down and the only way they will come down is if they are brought down. the impact is huge. essex police had been liaising with the protesters. they describe

the situation is complex because of the situation is complex because of the sheer height they are ad, about 180 feet above the road surface so national highways says it is not safe enough to reopen the bridge right now so as far as we know the protesters have no intention of coming down and who knows how long this could go on for?— this could go on for? thank you, chrissie reidy. _ as we have been saying today is the bbc�*s 100 birthday. many top film—makers got their start as directors at the bbc. tom burke, who has worked for the corporation for nearly half its existence, has been finding out how some of those celebrated film—makers view the bbc

and its future, finding both scorn and its future, finding both scorn and love in their responses. the theme tune from z cars, one of the most popular television police drama series in the bbc�*s 100 year history. nobody gives a damn for the law. it went on air in 1962 and it is where one of britain's top film—makers, 86—year—old ken loach, got his first experience of directing. in a glorious career, he went on to win much acclaim, including the top prize at the cannes film festival twice. she needs help, man. just let her si-n she needs help, man. just let her sigh 0h _ in his films, he has given voice to stories of the working class, a trait evident at the bbc where he learnt his trade in the 1960s and �*70s. the bbc was where i learned what i know of the craft. i learned everything. i learned, don't have a read through, i learned give them the script as you shoot so it seems spontaneous.

details like that i learned working at the bbc. find the way in which that anger becomes part of the condition. but seven—time 0scar nominee mike leigh, who made several acclaimed films for the bbc beginning in 1973, isn't so impressed by the corporation nowadays. there is now such a preoccupation with ratings and with respectability and political correctness. it is difficult not to talk about this without sounding like a disgruntled and disappointed whinger, but that's because i'm a disgruntled and disappointed whinger. bbc radio has also had a big impact on a generation of film—makers. wherever you are, i you are with the bbc. welsh egyptian director sally el—hosaini, whose latest feature the swimmers was the high—profile opening night attraction recently at the toronto

and zurich film festivals. she worked for the bbc as a researcher, script editor and consultant. as a child growing up in cairo, the bbc world service was the soundtrack to my childhood and so i remember being connected to music, news, culture, political discussion, all through the radio. this is the british - broadcasting corporation. the bbc has been around for 100 years so i hope it holds onto its identity for the next 100 years and that it keeps going. even those directors i spoke to who criticised the bbc acknowledge its massive contribution over the past 100 years to people everywhere. you are tuned to the general overseas service of the bbc. | as the celebrated ken loach puts it, the bbc has quite simply helped to define who we are. it has helped to define our identity.

much more coming up on all the day's events at 2pm but right now it is weather time with ben rich. good afternoon. early frost and fog gave way to a beautiful autumn day for most, blue skies and sunshine for many parts of the uk but changes are on the way thanks to this big swirl of cloud, this is an area of low pressure, quite slow moving but it will slowly but surely take charge of our weather over the next couple of days. in the short term it's only throwing a bit more cloud into the south—west of england, parts of wales, the odd shower or thunderstorm here later in the day, areas of cloud across parts of scotland and north—east england with a chilly wind, further south highs of 18 but into this evening we will see some showers and thunderstorms across the south—west of england, pushing up into wales.

frequent lightning, torrential downpours possible and quite windy. some of those showers perhaps drifting up into parts of northern ireland early wednesday morning, elsewhere mainly dry but with extensive cloud cover across northern and eastern scotland down into north—east england, temperatures around six or seven degrees for glasgow, 15 in plymouth, a mild start to the day and this big area of low pressure takes charge tomorrow, bands of showers drifting northwards. around this low we will be pulling warm air into many parts of the uk but towards the north—east it will stay rather chilly and quite cloudy across parts of northern and eastern scotland, north—east england, maybe the odd spot of drizzle, elsewhere some showers drifting north but losing energy as they push north, the best sunshine across central and eastern england, a windy day, gusty and parts of western wales, temperatures just ten in aberdeen but 22 forjersey, very warm across the channel islands.

warm airare being warm air are being pulled northwards from the near continent. then as we get into thursday we will see further showers or longer spells of rain drift north a wet start to the day potentially across southern and eastern parts of england, sunshine developing for some as the day wears on and temperatures between ten and 19 degrees in that area of low pressure continues to dominate into the weekend, further showers or longer spells of rain, often windy but feeling quite warm for the time of year.

this is bbc news. the headlines: the prime minister tries to regain authority as she apologises for the mistakes she has made so far in number ten. there were many questions for ministers arriving from cabinet, but liz truss insists that the bbc that she is carrying on. i that the bbc that she is carrying on. ., . ., that the bbc that she is carrying on. ., ., ., , on. i do want to accept responsibility - on. i do want to accept responsibility and - on. i do want to accept responsibility and say i on. i do want to accept - responsibility and say sorry for on. i do want to accept _ responsibility and say sorry for the mistakes that have been made. the new chancellor, jeremy hunt, was expected to tell ministers they will need to agree savings in their departments by the end of the week. the trades union congress says uk families are at breaking point as the country experience is the

longest squeeze on real wages
