to sit round the cabinet table, because the damage they have done to our party is extraordinary. liz truss is on the brink this morning. the question, how much longer does she have left in downing street? royal mail workers and bt staff walk out today as trade unions continue to fight for higher pay and plan more strike action this winter. good morning. a great night for manchester united, but maybe not for christiano ronaldo, who walks down the tunnel before full time after not being used in the team, which beat high flying tottenham 2—0. and for many of you the waterproofs will get a work—out today particularly across central and eastern areas with rain at times. brightest conditions to the south—west. i will have your full forecast here on breakfast.

good morning. it's thursday october 20th. our main story. the prime minister's position is looking increasingly vulnerable today after some of her own mps called for her to resign. it followed a chaotic day for the government with the resignation of the home secretary, accusations of bullying, and confusion over whether the chief whip had resigned. our political correspondent ione wells reports. reporter: is this a coalition of chaos, mr schapps? - another day, another new cabinet minister. grant shapps, sacked just six weeks ago by liz truss, returns as her new home secretary. look, obviously it's been a turbulent time for the government, but i think the most important thing is to make sure that people in this country know that they've got security and that's why it's a great honour to be appointed as home secretary. he stepped up after suella braverman stepped down, resigning over two data breaches. but have a look at her resignation letter. she wrote to the prime minister —

"pretending we haven't made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can't see that we have made them and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics. i have made a mistake. i accept responsibility. i resign " she was hinting at what some conservative mps were saying privately and publicly last night here in westminster, that the government has lost its authority and that they think liz truss should go. another source of tension last night was a vote in parliament tabled by labour about whether mps should get a say on the government's plans to bring back fracking. downing street told tory mps the vote would be considered a vote of confidence in the government itself, and if they didn't oppose it and back the government they would face being kicked out of the parliamentary party. in the voting lobbies, there was confusion with some mps not sure of the consequences of their vote. here was the damning assessment from one veteran tory mp. i think it's a shambles and a disgrace.

i think it is utterly appalling. so you seem... i'm livid. and, you know, i really shouldn't say this, but i hope all those people that put liz truss in numberten, i hope it was worth it. if it was worth it for the ministerial red box, i hope it was worth it to sit round the cabinet table because the damage they have done to our party is extraordinary. and then came this allegation from a labour mp. i saw members being physically manhandled into another- lobby and being bullied. is there a chief whip? all the chaos and confusion here fuelled questions among mps about whether the government's chief and deputy chief whips in charge of party discipline had resigned and at one stage even their government colleagues did not know the answer. i'm not entirely clear on what the situation is with the chief whip. there has been an element of confusion over whether the vote was a confidence vote or not. it was a great victory today.

chief whip, great credit to her. but people being manhandled into the voting lobbies? - chief whip did a great job today. they both remain in post, seemingly with the backing of the deputy prime minister, who was on her way to a gathering of senior conservatives at a private member's club. but it's the prime minister's position that is looking increasingly vulnerable today, with some tory mps confirming they have sent letters of no confidence in liz truss to sir graham brady, who runs the committee of backbench tory mps. how many letters have been sent in, sir? all thisjust six weeks into her premiership. herfate now depends on what her own mps here in westminster decide to do next. ione wells, bbc news. our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in downing street this morning. help those people watching our programme this morning who might be a little bemused by what's going on

and cut to the chase. liz truss and her future. and cut to the chase. liz truss and herfuture. what and cut to the chase. liz truss and her future. what will happen? and cut to the chase. liz truss and herfuture. what will happen? i her future. what will happen? i think a lot of people are big news this morning, charlie, including a lot of conservative mps, including a lot of conservative mps, including a lot of conservative mps, including a lot of ministers come and that is a recipe for disaster, quite frankly. for the prime minister. to get to the heart of a question, does liz truss survive? well, there's still a couple of things we've been talking about all week that count in her favour. one being there is no obvious successor, two, a lot of her own mps are terrified about causing more chaos in the markets. but it's almost impossible to see this morning how liz truss recovers from this, how she wins back any sense of authority in her party. when you look at some of the chaotic scenes we just talked about there, there are no shortages of tory mps we just talked about there, there are no shortages of tory mp5 on the phones last night saying they can't just believe what's happening despite everything that's happened over the last few years, with brexit

battles, in parliament, the turmoil under borisjohnson, a lot of tory mps would say they've just never seen it as bad as this. so it's not completely clear what liz truss's future over the next few hours or the next few days is, but my sense this morning is it's very, very hard to see how she recovers.- to see how she recovers. nick, ifi was to ask — to see how she recovers. nick, ifi was to ask the _ to see how she recovers. nick, ifi was to ask the question _ to see how she recovers. nick, ifi was to ask the question about - to see how she recovers. nick, if i . was to ask the question about normal government business, what is happening or what is not happening? look, i mean, there's a couple of things that i think are really key over the next few hours. in the middle of the night, we got a message from downing street saying those mps who didn't vote with the government last night, those conservative mps who defied an order to vote against the labour party on fracking, those mps will be disciplined by the party. we don't know what that means. there's been no explanation, but they are facing disciplinary action. in a party that

already in turmoil, where there is extraordinary bad blood already, that says to me there's more bad blood to come. the second thing is watch out for the prime minister's critics on the right of the party. remember when liz truss stood for the leadership, she courted the right, the brexiteer wing of the party, the european research group, people like that, and suella braverman, the former home secretary, who was forced to resign yesterday, her resignation letter was blistering. she makes it perfectly clear she is unhappy with the government on policy, she makes it perfectly clear she is unhappy with the prime minister, she suggests the prime minister should be thinking about resigning. this other on the right of the tory party who are calling for the prime minister to resign like lord frost, who was a brexit minister under borisjohnson. where does this or leave the prime minister? in a very precarious position this morning. i wouldn't say with any certainty what will happen by the end of the day,

charlie. yesterday, that you told me not to do that, but it's going to be a very bumpy ride for liz truss. thanks very much for that, and just to let you know, we are discussing events, complicated events without political panel in half an hour. also a little later on speaking to labour's wears a street in just after seven o'clock and in the transport secretary anne—marie trevelyan will be speaking to us at 730 this morning, so that's the government spokesperson this morning, transport secretary anne—marie trevelyan. a decline in the traditional gp—patient relationship is putting people's health at risk according to a report by mps. the health and social care committee said seeing your gp should not be like booking an uber driver and it's called for more to be done to ensure patients see the same doctor. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. so last time we were talking about you had a sore in your mouth and we sent you for a chest x—ray, didn't we? 84—year—old rob heardon

has come to see his gp because of a mouth condition, and it is his gp. the practice here aims to ensure patients see the same doctor each time. it's easy for me because i can feel relaxed when i come in and i know that the doctor that i've seen, or my local doctor that i am seeing on a regular basis, knows me, and that that gives me the assurance that our doctors can be straight with us. they can be like a friend. what i'm going to suggest we do is refer you to see the oral mouth specialist... drjacob lee has what's known as a personal list of patients. a tiny fraction of gps in england have these. he looks after around 400 families. and sometimes what they want to do is to take a little biopsy. of those 400 we will see about 30% really regularly, but i would know probably up to 70%

of the patients on my list and out of each family i'll know somebody in there. when we see a patient for ten or 15 minutes in an appointment, having continuity means that it's notjust ten or 15 minutes on its own. these are ten or 15 minutes that mount up. so, actually, over a year, you might see them for an hour, and over two years, you might see them for a few hours. and it's this building an understanding about a patient and the patient builds an understanding about you and how you're going to support them. surgeries like this where doctors and patients tend to know each other don't just feel better, but evidence suggests they are better. a recent major study from norway has shown a reduction in hospital emergency admissions and also deaths of up to 30%. today's report from mp5 is urging ministers to prioritise continuity of care where gps see the same patients. it wants nhs england to reintroduce personal lists for doctors and to require practices to report on progress.

but the report says without changes like these, and others, patient safety is being put at risk. and doctors agree. no doubt at all, it's a crisis. some practices are remarkably- managing to cope, but most practices are really struggling. they're on a knife edge of notjust being able to provide high - quality personal care, - but actually even being able to provide safe care. the government says it's improving gp services with same—day appointments for those in need and no waits longer than two weeks. but mps have said those measures don't go far enough. sophie hutchinson, bbc news, bristol. striking rail workers will be forced to maintain a minimum level of service during industrial action under new rules being proposed by the government. the measures mean that a minimum number of trains would still run on strike days, but unions have slammed the move as "autocratic". it comes as thousands of communications workers from royal mail, bt and openreach walk out today in a row

over pay and conditions. the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse will publish its final report today. it's spent seven years examining how institutions in england and wales responded to sexual abuse dating back to the 1950s. the report is expected to focus on whether there should be a new law requiring people working with children to report any suspicions of abuse. russian president vladimir putin has introduced martial law in four unlawfully occupied regions of ukraine. ukraine has recently recaptured more than 400 sq km of territory in less than a week. our defence correspondentjonathan beale and cameraman lee durrant have been with ukrainian forces on the front line as they advance east of the city of lyman. the road of retreat. a dead end for some, where these russian forces met their own armageddon.

a village, the new front line for these ukrainian troops. explosion. still within range of russian artillery, the signature sound of this war. russian positions are just 500 metres away. you can see they're getting... telling us to get down here. come on, let's go. but this war also involves close quarters combat, as we're about to find out. gunfire. get back! 0k. rapid machine gun fire. we are under attack.

a grenade's fired into the tree line from where the russians were firing. as we make a speedy exit. let's get out. we're geting out of here. some small arms fire probably from a russian scouting party. so they've been telling us to get out of here back to the main headquarters. russian forces have been trying to outflank them. rapid machine gun fire. many of these troops only volunteered at the start of the war. months of fighting has transformed

them into a professional army. but these counterattacks are slowing their advance. vladimir, their captain, tells me they need more armour and they're waiting for reinforcements. the push east is testing supply lines. with most bridges blown, ukraine's had to rely on amphibious craft and boats to keep feeding the front line. they've onlyjust completed the construction of this new crossing. and there are other obstacles too — countless russian minefields that need to be cleared. ukraine is still advancing, but it's getting harder. jonathan beale, bbc news, donbas.

now the weather with matt. good morning. i hope you're all well. and had a decent nights sleep although some of you could be bleary eyed this morning, cracking shot of some lightning here in anglesey through the night and there was a fair few flashes of lightning across the western half of the country. most of those have faded a bit of mild night and last night and i'll start of this morning. if you're heading to school or work, temperatures in the mid—teens across some southern areas were generally well above where we should be for this stage on an october morning. lots of cloud if you're about to step out, so make sure you got something waterproof. you can see their splatter of blue, where we got the rain. flashes of lightning pushing to dumfries and galloway starting to ease a little bit, but over the next few hours, rain becoming more extensive from the bristol channel through towards london and into the south midlands, heavy bursts, and we are seeing some

heavy bursts, and we are seeing some heavy downpours from parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire, northwards into central and eastern scotland. a bit more sporadic here. there will be some drier moments, a bit dried towards the very far north of scotland but extensive cloud this morning. dryerfor northern ireland. west wales, devon and cornwall, a bit brighter. a drier, sunnier day for you today. the low persistent rain through the afternoon will patient in north—east england in south—east scotland. 40 millimetres of rain possible. hit and miss rain towards the south—east and as the sun comes out widely across the south, another warm afternoon. cool in the north parts northern scotland due to the breeze. rain into the night will fizzle out. fog develops across england and wales before the wind picks up and the shower was well back in towards wales in the south—west late in the night. another mild night tonight. tomorrow, not quite as wet across the country, a scattering of showers around and saturday is probably the drier day of the weekend. more

details on that later. back to you. thanks very much. offshore wind farms have been helping to power britain for many years now, and traditionally these are built onto the sea floor, meaning they can only be placed in relatively shallow water. yes, but now the race is on to develop turbines that can be placed in deeper water, where the winds are often stronger. our climate editor, justin rowlatt, reports. there's always a long boat journey when you go out to an offshore wind farm. you get stronger winds further out to sea. conventional wind turbines are built up from the sea bed. they need shallow water up to about 60 meters deep, which is why these turbines represent a wind revolution. now, i know these wind turbines look pretty similar to the kind of offshore wind turbines you've seen before. but these really are different. these are an engineering triumph. each one of them is almost 190 metres high. that's about the same height

as the giant towers at canary wharf. but these are floating. now, just imagine for a moment the forces they have to withstand. these have to stand tall in the strongest winds and the wildest storms. floating turbines are constructed onshore and then floated out to sea. the hope is they will unlock vast areas of deeper ocean. huge anchors moor the turbines to the sea bed. this opens up a lot of opportunities in countries like the west coast of the us where the coastline goes deep very quickly. when you go further offshore, typically the wind resources are much better than closer to the shore. we have much more constant areas of wind. the uk is leading the world in the deployment of this new technology. this is the world's largest floating wind farm.

we're told it generates enough electricity to power 35,000 homes. the industry hopes it is the beginning of what could be a massive business for britain. we've been building wind farms in this country for two decades and we've learnt a lot from what other countries have done in turbine technology. but everything that's happening here, this is something that the uk can really be masters at, and it's incredibly exciting, because it signifies the opening up of offshore wind to the entire globe. but at the moment, floating wind is expensive. kilowatt for kilowatt it costs about the same as nuclear power. the hope is costs will fall as investment grows. that's what happened with conventional wind and with solar power. and if floating wind does become more economic, the uk will be at the forefront of a major new global industry. justin rowlatt, bbc news,

off the coast of aberdeen. let's have a look at today's papers. and the front pages are dominated by reports of yesterday's turbulence in westminster. the guardian leads with the home secretary suella braverman's resignation. the paper says it was a "bombshell" that puts prime minister liz truss "on the brink". the daily mail reports that the pm sacked ms braverman after a 90—minute "shouting match". it reports that the former home secretary accused ms truss of wobbling over manifesto commitments, such as reduced migration. "utter chaos" — that's the headline in today's mirror, as it says the pm's leadership was hanging by a thread. the paper reports that one tory mp said ms truss had "hours not days" left in power. and the sun reports that liz truss' authority is in "tatters". it says that the "broken pm"

was heckled by her own mps as she left the commons last night. the paper also says that the former home secretary was sacked in a row over immigration. if you are a little tired of some of that stuff, you might want to be brought some more basic information, who doesn't want to know about the best and worse service stations in the uk? if you travel a lot, this is crucial information. it is important information and it turns out, the best one is the services on the m6 at rugby. it has a 100% approval rating. and the worst is hart said more east on the m62. now what comes through in this survey be surprised to hear, there is a massive focus on toilets. yes, absolutely. the reality here is the best service

station, the rugby m6, had a 99% satisfaction rate with its lavatories. 99% satisfaction rate which is pretty high, right? by way of comparison, you go down to 80% and, yeah, that's the thing. get the toilets right and everything will follow. have you ever gone to a service station and seen the toilets went great and then left and not gone until the next one? specifically because of the toilets? i don't think so. let's not go down that avenue. i think we all know the reason why you wouldn't. because i do travel a fair amount now, i will always go before i need to. so that i do have the option. it is planning. it's about planning. do they look at food or anything like that? yes, all very secondary. it's as talking about it now. i know, it taps into the nation's it. it's all

about toilets, that's all it's about. shall i bring you a little bit of joy? about. shall i bring you a little bit ofjoy? i love and achievement and this is 23—year—old endurance athlete, jasmine harrison, 900 miles in 110 days in water. she swam into john o groats harbour on tuesday, herjourney while john o groats harbour on tuesday, her journey while starting john o groats harbour on tuesday, herjourney while starting at land's herjourney while starting at lands end, finishing atjohn o groats and she is the first ever... the second fastest present to compete after ross edgley, but she's a swimming instructor actually. that is incredible. she had to wear dark but i started to think about what you need to wear in the sea, and obviously a wet suit, you want to stay warm, but she had to wear a padded balaclava after being stung up padded balaclava after being stung up to 15 times byjellyfish. that's the thing. she spent every night of a challenge aboard her yacht. she

survived on a diet of chocolate, sandwiches and tinned meat. i think sandwiches and tinned meat. i think sandwiches would be quite tricky at sea. she was on the yacht, not something there. she swam during the day. anyway, well done, brilliant. jasmine harrison, very impressive. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. welcome to bbc london with me, alison earle. two men have been arrested on suspicion of murdering a rapper at the notting hill carnival. 21—year old takayo nembhard, was stabbed at the event in august under the westway flyover in ladbroke grove. two men aged 23 and 18 were held in bristol. a 20 year—old woman was also arrested in islington on suspicion of assisting an offender. the mayor sadiq khan has flown to the argentinian capital buenos aires to chair an international meeting on climate change.

london is one of a group of cities pledging to create 50 millionjobs in green industries by 2030. they'll be created in sectors like construction, transport, energy and health, as competition for rental properties continues to grow, some are finding an alternative option — living in an empty building as a property guardian. you don't have the same rights as ordinary tenants, but do pay less than the market rate. it's something charley's been doing for the past nine years and says demand for these properties and prices have gone up. you mightjust be paying kind of a very low fee, maybe £200, £300, £400, for a space, but now i'm seeing 600—1,200 for a room studio space. hackers who broke into the council's computer at hackney two years ago cost the boroughjust over £12 million. figures uncovered by the local democracy reporting service show the money was spent

on cyber recovery work and moving data to new systems. the attack is still be investigated by the national crime agency. travel now and this is how the tubes are looking at the moment. there's no service on the district line between earl's court and wimbledon. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was a very mild night last night so a rather cloudy and murky start this morning. we've got rain on the way through the next few hours bringing with it some heavier bursts, as well, but gradually starting to clear as we head through the afternoon. we should get some sunshine by the end of the day, and temperatures mild again at 17 celsius. now overnight tonight, it starts off dry and it starts off clear. the wind a little bit lighter, so we could just see one or two mist and fog patches forming. through the second part of the night, the wind starts to strengthen and then we'll see our next band of showers arriving. the minimum temperature between 9—12.

another mild night. it is going to be another unsettled day as we head through friday. this low pressure flinging towards sea fronts, and that's going to bring some showers through the course of friday. still some sunny spells there, as well, but the temperature tomorrow feeling especially mild. 19, the maximum temperature, so very much above average for the time of year. and you can see all this orange and yellow, we're going to hang on this warmer air as we head through the weekend, as well, through saturday and through sunday. now it is going to stay unsettled. largely dry at the moment for saturday. for sunday some showers, some of which could be heavy. you mayjust hear a rumble or two of thunder. if you haven't had a chance to see the elizabeth line's newest station yet, head over to our website or instagramn to see the pictures of bond street. that's it. i'm back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. thousands of royal mail workers, bt staff and openreach engineers will walk out later today in separate disputes over pay and conditions.

it's set to be one of the biggest strikes of the year. it comes as the government announces new legislation which would mean rail workers would have to provide a minimum service during strike days. hannah's at the tuc congress in brighton this morning. morning, hannah. a lot going on in terms of strikes but also legislation related to strikes. ,., ., but also legislation related to strikes. ., we've had a summer of disruption and strikes and there looks like a winter of industrial action is on its way. the tuc conference in brighton represents many trade unions up and down the country and we know that many of those trade unions at the moment are either walking out or considering whether to walk out again this winter. let's have a look at what is going on.

the transport union rmt announced new strike action with walkouts on the third, fifth, and seventh of november but strikes are ongoing in places like sunderland and and it did work in liverpool where they negotiated higher pay and royal mail are on strike as ins workers from bt and openreach, as coordinated action in the run—up to christmas. nurses, ambulance crews, health workers are considering whether to go on strike this winter which would have an impact on the nhs if it does go ahead and teachers, head teachers, they are looking at whether or not to walk out. the government doesn't want any of this to happen and is introducing legislation to make the strikes more difficult, particularly in relation to transport where there would have to be an minimum service

level. i'mjoined by would have to be an minimum service level. i'm joined by the soon—to—be general secretary of the tuc, paul novak. good morning. the government says it needs to introduce new legislation to keep britain moving and stop the disruption for people just trying to go about their everyday business. what do you say to that? ii everyday business. what do you say to that? ., ., , to that? if the government was serious about _ to that? if the government was serious about stopping - to that? if the government was serious about stopping strikes l to that? if the government was i serious about stopping strikes and helping _ serious about stopping strikes and helping people get about their everyday business is they should think about what is causing the strikes and solving the problem that underlie _ strikes and solving the problem that underlie the reasons why millions of workers _ underlie the reasons why millions of workers are — underlie the reasons why millions of workers are taking the difficult decision— workers are taking the difficult decision to take strike action and consider— decision to take strike action and consider strike action. these are workers — consider strike action. these are workers who will lose pay if they go out on _ workers who will lose pay if they go out on strike and won't deliver the services _ out on strike and won't deliver the services they love delivering but frankly— services they love delivering but frankly we have a government intent on bashing _ frankly we have a government intent on bashing working people, to make it harder, _ on bashing working people, to make it harder, attacking that fundamental british right to strike and not _ fundamental british right to strike and not solving the underlying problems, which is the wages crisis that people face. we problems, which is the wages crisis that people face.—

persistent rain pushing on across southern counties and into the midlands and even then there we will see flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder so wet morning commute across southern counties and heavy rain moving north. showers are more hit and miss across northern england but turning more persistent in the afternoon and certainly in south—east scotland but southern and western areas will brighten up an compared with yesterday, northern ireland, wales and the southwest a dry day and not as windy but fairly blustering across north scotland where it will stay dry for some but cooler here at ten or 12 degrees and once the sunshine breaks across the south, not quite as warm as yesterday but with lighter winds it will feel warmer with 18 or 19 is the high. rain will fade away overnight across parts of scotland and it turns misty and murky in east anglia and the midlands and there could be fog tomorrow morning but any early fog will clear and the breeze picks up in the shower is pushing here, and again, maybe the

odd rumble of thunder and flash of lightning. the area of low pressure has got closer in and with it the wind is strengthening through tomorrow especially towards the south and west whereas today's eastern areas with the wettest weather is but tomorrow it is western areas. hit and miss showers through the day and some on the thundery side and they will develop more widely across england and wales and southern parts of scotland but there will be areas that stay completely dry tomorrow and in terms of the wind, the gusts strongest towards the south and west, may be 40 or 50 miles an hour which will make it feel cooler and paired with today, but east, may be warm with temperatures around 19. into saturday, few wish i was around and more of you will spend the day dry and more cloud through northern and western scotland with outbreaks of rain and showers chiefly towards wales on the south—west but one or two will develop in the south—west but for many saturday will be the drier day and it should feel warmer. by drier day and it should feel warmer. by sunday, the weather fronts on the next area of low pressure pushes in

so a greater chance across england and wales are seeing wet and windy weather on sunday which works north through sunday night. that's how it's looking. back to you both. the biggest mountain in tonga is kao with an elevation of 1030 metres. i am guessing an ex volcano. last i am guessing an ex volcano. last eru ted am guessing an ex volcano. last empted in _ am guessing an ex volcano. last erupted in 1847. _ am guessing an ex volcano. last erupted in 1847. told _ am guessing an ex volcano. last erupted in 1847. told you, you know so much. let's return now to our main story — the turmoil within the conservative party. the resignation of the home secretary was just part of a chaotic day, which also saw accusations of bullying and confusion over whether the chief whip had resigned. let's reflect on these events with two seasoned westminster watchers, ben glaze, from the mirror newspaper, and katy balls, from the spectator. you are sheltering i see under a bit of rain in downing street. good

and i want to tell you all about thalassemia. thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder. it means sanna must get a blood transfusion here at birmingham city hospital once every month. so usually i'd go in for about nine tp half nine, and i'd finish around half four or five. so i'm here with rejoice who is looking after me today. the staff here are all lovely and really supportive. and really amazing. but as amazing as the medical care is, thalassemia is usually a lifelong condition, not easy to live with. i think the biggest impact was just feeling different from everyone else. i just felt very isolated and i didn't want to sort of socialise or be around others. ijust wanted to lock myself away in my bedroom and just sleep. it was hard? very hard, yeah. so instead of spending her childhood doing all the things children usually do, sanna was too often too tired, too

exhausted to isolated to go out. that was until a children in need funded charity called oscar birmingham came along. how do i look, pudsey? let's go. this project is helping young people like sanna in the heart of birmingham, and it has really helped turn her life around. right. welcome to oscar birmingham. i first started off myjourney with oscar at around 12 years old, receiving support, but now i'm here to mentor young children as well, which is amazing. this is where sanna gained a new social circle which understood her condition. and it's where sanna today is a mentor helping other young people on the same journey. right, ears on! 0k. here we go. ready? can you tell me a bit about how brilliant this charity is, and how children in need has helped us so much? absolutely amazing charity. we're the only ones to be able to reach out to children and young people who are isolated, low in confidence and affected by sickle cell thalassemia,

offer a variety of workshops, mentoring, support. really to kind of connect with each other outside of a hospital environment. without the support of the public and children in need, we wouldn't be in existence. and now, to pay it back, a new challenge lies ahead — the rickshaw relay. sanna needs all the support she can get. you have to make a confession, don't you? yeah. which is what? i have never ridden a bike before. laughter. yeah. so my actual route will be around 28 miles, and that's approximately six to seven hours, which is obviously not an easy sort of first time bike around birmingham. so if anyone's free around in birmingham on thursday, you know, does anyone want to come see me? that would be really appreciated. sanna, you're going to be absolutely amazing. i know you've never ridden a bike before. we have every faith in you.

you've got this, sanna. come on, sanna, you can do this. you've got this, sanna. to sanna, you're the best mentor i ever had. - go do good in the . rickshaw challenge. you go! no mean feat, sitting on this, cycling all day, having never been on a road bike in your life, but she is going to do this. she on a road bike in your life, but she is going to do this.— is going to do this. she is going to be amazing _ is going to do this. she is going to be amazing today. _ is going to do this. she is going to be amazing today. the _ is going to do this. she is going to be amazing today. the fact - is going to do this. she is going to be amazing today. the fact she i is going to do this. she is going to | be amazing today. the fact she has never _ be amazing today. the fact she has never ridden a bike, we are so proud of her— never ridden a bike, we are so proud of her from — never ridden a bike, we are so proud of her from everybody at oscar birmingham, and the fact she has lived _ birmingham, and the fact she has lived with— birmingham, and the fact she has lived with thalassaemia, the long—term condition and the challenges it presents itself, but we are _ challenges it presents itself, but we are so — challenges it presents itself, but we are so proud of her at oscar, and lo, we are so proud of her at oscar, and go. sanna _ we are so proud of her at oscar, and go, sanna. the we are so proud of her at oscar, and go. sauna-— go, sanna. the support policy is already in _ go, sanna. the support policy is already in place _ go, sanna. the support policy is already in place and _ go, sanna. the support policy is already in place and i _ go, sanna. the support policy is already in place and i will- go, sanna. the support policy is already in place and i will tell i go, sanna. the support policy is. already in place and i will tell you about these ladies in a minute. tell me more about this condition. thalassaemia is a genetic blood

it's thursday, october 20th. our main story. the prime minister's position is looking increasingly vulnerable today after some of her own mps called for her to resign. (pres2 it followed a chaotic day for the government with the resignation of the home secretary, accusations of bullying and confusion over whether the chief whip had resigned. our political correspondent lone wells reports. reporter: is this a coalition of chaos, mr schapps? - another day, another new cabinet minister. grant shapps, sacked just six weeks ago by liz truss, returns as her new home secretary. look, obviously it's been a turbulent time for the government, but i think the most important thing is to make sure that people in this country know that they've got security and that's why it's a great honour to be appointed as home secretary. he stepped up after suella braverman stepped down, resigning over two data breaches. but have a look at her resignation letter. she wrote to the prime minister — "pretending we haven't made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can't see that we have made them

and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics. i have made a mistake. i accept responsibility. i resign " she was hinting at what some conservative mps were saying privately and publicly last night here in westminster, that the government has lost its authority and that they think liz truss should go. another source of tension last night was a vote in parliament tabled by labour about whether mps should get a say on the government's plans to bring back fracking. downing street told tory mps the vote would be considered a vote of confidence in the government itself, and if they didn't oppose it and back the government they would face being kicked out of the parliamentary party. in the voting lobbies, there was confusion with some mps not sure of the consequences of their vote. here was the damning assessment from one veteran tory mp. i think it's a shambles and a disgrace. i think it is utterly appalling. so you seem... i'm livid.

and, you know, i really shouldn't say this, but i hope all those people that put liz truss in numberten, i hope it was worth it. if it was worth it for the ministerial red box, i hope it was worth it to sit round the cabinet table because the damage they have done to our party is extraordinary. and then came this allegation from a labour mp. i saw members being physically manhandled into another- lobby and being bullied. is there a chief whip? all the chaos and confusion here fuelled questions among mps about whether the government's chief and deputy chief whips in charge of party discipline had resigned and at one stage even their government colleagues did not know the answer. i'm not entirely clear on what the situation is with the chief whip. there has been an element of confusion over whether the vote was a confidence vote or not. it was a great victory today. chief whip, great credit to her. but people being manhandled

into the voting lobbies? - chief whip did a great job today. they both remain in post, seemingly with the backing of the deputy prime minister, who was on her way to a gathering of senior conservatives at a private member's club. but it's the prime minister's position that is looking increasingly vulnerable today, with some tory mps confirming they have sent letters of no confidence in liz truss to sir graham brady, who runs the committee of backbench tory mps. how many letters have been sent in, sir? all thisjust six weeks into her premiership. herfate now depends on what her own mps here in westminster decide to do next. lone wells, bbc news. our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in downing street this morning. so, behind you, how much longer is not going to be occupied by the prime minister liz truss? goad prime minister liz truss? good question- _ prime minister liz truss? good question- i _ prime minister liz truss? good question. i mean, _ prime minister liz truss? good question. i mean, it—

prime minister liz truss? good question. i mean, it looks- prime minister liz truss? good question. i mean, it looks this| question. i mean, it looks this morning incredibly difficult to see how liz truss can win back authority over her party, credibility, in parliament, and itjust feels like this is unravelling by the day at the moment. if it looks like chaos, that's because it is chaos. what happened in parliament last night, it seems we were just talking about, have left loads of tory mps absolutely facing. they are absolutely facing. they are absolutely furious that some of the ways in which the government is approaching that a vote last night, some of the ways in which mps were pressured to go through the lobbies, there were accusations of bullying, of manhandling, denied by the government ministers who are accused, but it'sjust government ministers who are accused, but it's just a sign of how bad the blood is in the conservative party that that is happening. this morning, at one .33 in the morning, downing street put out a statement saying the mpc didn't vote with the

government will be disciplined because it was a confidence vote after all, so that is just going to breed more bad blood over the next few days. senior tory mps are being disciplined. as i say, it'sjust really hard to see this morning how liz truss gets things back on track. we will be watching closely over the days ahead. thanks so much. the labour mp wes streeting, who's the shadow health and social care secretary, joins us on the sofa this morning. good morning to you. you were in the commons last night for the vote. would you share with us what you witnessed? i would you share with us what you witnessed?— would you share with us what you witnessed? ,, , ., , . , witnessed? i think people have seen on the screens _ witnessed? i think people have seen on the screens the _ witnessed? i think people have seen on the screens the degree _ witnessed? i think people have seen on the screens the degree of - witnessed? i think people have seen on the screens the degree of chaos i on the screens the degree of chaos in parliament, the extent to which stable government is broken down, and even at the height of some of the biggest political dramas, i'd beenin the biggest political dramas, i'd been in parliament since 2015, haven't quite seen the scenes we saw

last night of mps being shoved into the voting lobbies, conservative mps breaking down in tears on the toilets, it's a mess. and the point is, because actually i don't think the central issue here is who has whatjob or how stressful conservative mps are finding things, it's the consequences of this chaos for families across the country. we'll go to the wider issues it on a moment. i want to ask you very directly, did you personally witness mps in tears hiding in toilets? or is this something you've been told? told by colleagues. i went straight through to the voting lobby and escape the chaos. i saw the crowds in the mps and members' lobby, conservative mps, being jostled and told by whips to get in there and go and vote, that's what i saw as i left would certainly come as i was leaving, you've seen the reports overnight, the images from colleagues, some of whom got footage and also reports from staff around the palace of westminster but as i say, to be honest, there is

psychodrama i have to say, the counterbalance to that clearly is that that some of those people involved are saying this is a rough—and—tumble politics. it’s involved are saying this is a rough-and-tumble politics. it's like that, ti . ht rough-and-tumble politics. it's like that, tight votes _ rough-and-tumble politics. it's like that, tight votes when _ rough-and-tumble politics. it's like that, tight votes when things - rough-and-tumble politics. it's like that, tight votes when things are i that, tight votes when things are happening, it can be quite fraught, sometimes an ugly business, politics, and it can happen. the psychodrama — politics, and it can happen. the psychodrama is _ politics, and it can happen. the: psychodrama is not politics, and it can happen. t't;e: psychodrama is not the politics, and it can happen. tt9: psychodrama is not the primary politics, and it can happen. tt9 psychodrama is not the primary issue here, the consequences of the chaos is, and that's why today in a speech to the tuc keir starmer setting out labours plans to deal with the biggest crisis in the country, the economic crisis, the impact it's having on the cost of living, i'm speaking to house leaders here in manchester about what we will do to stop the other crisis in the country, the biggest crisis in the history of the nhs, and i think with those two speeches today, what people saw at the labour conference recently in liverpool, against a backdrop of chaos caused by the conservatives, the labour party has a serious leader, with a serious team, and a serious plan to put britain back on track and give it a

fresh start it needs and to help people and give people a sense of stability and hope that the pain people are feeling in their pocket is a direct result of the conservatives and can be dealt with by a change of government.- by a change of government. you're sa in: the by a change of government. you're saying the labour— by a change of government. you're saying the labour party _ by a change of government. you're saying the labour party has - by a change of government. you're saying the labour party has a - saying the labour party has a serious approach. why then did we have a spectacle of your leader starting prime minister's question time with a joke? he said the book is been written about the prime minister time in office, apparently it's going to get by christmas, is that the release date or the title? much guffawing from your colleagues on the labour benches. why take that approach? on the labour benches. why take that a- roach? . on the labour benches. why take that a- roach? , :, on the labour benches. why take that auroach? , :, , :, , on the labour benches. why take that auroach? _,, :, , approach? there is a serious point which underlines _ approach? there is a serious point which underlines it _ approach? there is a serious point which underlines it which - approach? there is a serious point which underlines it which is - which underlines it which is underlined at pmqs yesterday. you seem to take _ underlined at pmqs yesterday. you seem to take glee out of the conservatives situation people witness that and see prime minister's question time and it does not reflect. the point you're making very importantly, people are genuinely worried, so why the delight in the demise of the

conservatives? it’s delight in the demise of the conservatives?— delight in the demise of the conservatives? it's not that, actually. _ conservatives? it's not that, actually. the _ conservatives? it's not that, actually, the point _ conservatives? it's not that, actually, the point is - conservatives? it's not that, actually, the point is to - conservatives? it's not that, - actually, the point is to highlight the absurdity of liz truss still being in office when she clearly isn't in power and, worse still, the chaos of the government if you can call it a government, i think it's more of a rabble than a government, the consequences of that rabble is people's rising mortgages, people's cost of living going up, and no plan, no business stability, no certainty, i mean there are businesses who are literally pausing investment decisions right now because they think the uk as a basket case and they don't have a sense of certainty and stability from the government. that's what we have sought to provide with our industrial strategy. keir starmer is saying more today about how to deal with a crisis in the economy to give businesses certainty and that's why last weekend, we've had lots of notable moments in politics in the last week but for me the standout moment as last weekend when the chairman of tesco told the bbc that when it comes to a serious plan for economic growth there's only one team on the pitch, and that the labour party so don't take my word

starting social care because it is important and he is the other thing. right now, there are smart nhs leaders are looking at the pressures on hospitals, realising the 400,000 orso on hospitals, realising the 400,000 or so delayed discharges we are seeing each month is largely driven by lack of provision in social care and they are using integrated care systems, budgets, to invest in social care to recruit and maintain the staff we need. my challenge to health leaders across the country is through integrated care systems, take that joined through integrated care systems, take thatjoined up approach, and get better value for money for the taxpayer, but crucially, better outcomes for patients not my priority. outcomes for patients not my riori . �* . :. outcomes for patients not my riori . �*, :, :, :, outcomes for patients not my riori . �*, :, :, priority. it's great for you to come in. thank priority. it's great for you to come in- thank you _ priority. it's great for you to come in. thank you very _ priority. it's great for you to come in. thank you very much. - we've heard from the opposition and injust under 20 minutes' time we'll be speaking to the government, as the transport secretary anne—marie trevelyan willjoin us. a decline in the traditional gp—patient relationship is putting people's health at risk according to a report by mps. the health and social care committee said seeing your gp should not be like "booking an uber driver" and it's called for more to be

done to ensure patients see the same doctor. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. so last time we were talking about you had a sore in your mouth and we sent you for a chest x—ray, didn't we? 84—year—old rob heardon has come to see his gp because of a mouth condition, and it is his gp. the practice here aims to ensure patients see the same doctor each time. it's easy for me because i can feel relaxed when i come in and i know that the doctor that i've seen, or my local doctor that i am seeing on a regular basis, knows me, and that that gives me the assurance that our doctors can be straight with us. they can be like a friend. what i'm going to suggest we do is refer you to see the oral mouth specialist... drjacob lee has what's known as a personal list of patients. a tiny fraction of gps

in england have these. he looks after around 400 families. and sometimes what they want to do is to take a little biopsy. of those 400 we will see about 30% really regularly, but i would know probably up to 70% of the patients on my list and out of each family i'll know somebody in there. when we see a patient for ten or 15 minutes in an appointment, having continuity means that it's notjust ten or 15 minutes on its own. these are ten or 15 minutes that mount up. so, actually, over a year, you might see them for an hour, and over two years, you might see them for a few hours. and it's this building an understanding about a patient and the patient builds an understanding about you and how you're going to support them. surgeries like this where doctors and patients tend to know each other don't just feel better, but evidence suggests they are better. a recent major study from norway has shown a reduction in hospital emergency admissions and also deaths of up to 30%.

today's report from mps is urging ministers to prioritise continuity of care where gps see the same patients. it wants nhs england to reintroduce personal lists for doctors and to require practices to report on progress. but the report says without changes like these, and others, patient safety is being put at risk. and doctors agree. no doubt at all, it's a crisis. some practices are remarkably- managing to cope, but most practices are really struggling. they're on a knife edge of notjust being able to provide high - quality personal care, - but actually even being able to provide safe care. the government says it's improving gp services with same—day appointments for those in need and no waits longer than two weeks. but mps have said those measures don't go far enough. sophie hutchinson, bbc news, bristol. striking rail workers will be forced to maintain a minimum level of service during industrial action under new rules being

proposed by the government. the measures mean that a minimum number of trains would still run on strike days, but unions have slammed the move as "autocratic". it comes as thousands of communications workers from royal mail, bt and openreach walk out today in a row over pay and conditions. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. it's a beautiful picture but it's slightly worrying, isn't it? t it's a beautiful picture but it's slightly worrying, isn't it? ithink it's made a _ slightly worrying, isn't it? ithink it's made a few _ slightly worrying, isn't it? ithink it's made a few bleary _ slightly worrying, isn't it? ithink it's made a few bleary eyed - slightly worrying, isn't it? ithink it's made a few bleary eyed this | it's made a few bleary eyed this morning. good morning, a storming out across western areas, thousands of lightning strikes recorded, and a bit further east they will continue across the country but wherever you are waking up with the exception of shetland, comets start for this stage in october so that's one less thing to worry about. plenty of rain around. let me show you where it is the moment because it's pretty heavy

across southern areas right now. we've also got some lively storms breaking out through hertfordshire, leicestershire, the north pennines, south—east scotland and across parts of the channel islands. it is working its way northwards, so expect heavy rain this morning across the midlands, southern england especially, getting heavy across southern coastal counties. devon and cornwall and northern ireland, not a bad start today compared with yesterday. drier weather but northern england, heavy showers as we'll see across scotland, and a bit more hit and miss. the more persistent rain is parts of central southern england. that will be working its way northwards through the day. this afternoon, tickling on the pennines and eastwards into the eastern half of southern scotland, this is where the rain will become pretty relentless in the second half of the day and we could see 40 mile an hour rain ina day and we could see 40 mile an hour rain in a few spots. brightening up across the south. drier and brighter, northern ireland, and a south—west of england, more sunshine too. breezy across the north

tonight. the persistent rain in scotland fizzling out into the morning. fog patches to start tomorrow in eastern parts of england but towards the west, more showers, blustery winds coming in. a fairly showery day across the country tomorrow. fewershowers showery day across the country tomorrow. fewer showers on saturday. more rain by sunday. very topsy—turvy. back to you both. more rain by sunday. very topsy-turvy. back to you both. thank ou ve topsy-turvy. back to you both. thank you very much- _ christmas is on the horizon and it may be something you've started to think about, or perhaps even worry about, given the current cost of living crisis. research for the bbc shows most of us are planning to spend less this christmas. ellie price has been to blackburn to find out what that might really mean for people. here's a scary thought. christmas is only nine weeks away. and for the elves at secret santa in blackburn, there's work to do. as the bag fills up, we've got a puzzle clock. quite educational. very educational. here, they provide sacks of christmas presents to the thousand most deprived children in the area. but donations are down by 80%

on the same time last year. christmas is on the horizon and it may be something you've and upstairs in their shop, where they sell second hand and discounted new toys, takings are also massively down, which means they may struggle to buy all the presents they need. worst case is we fail. there'll be children sat at home with no presents, no christmas dinner either. and, by the sounds of things, no electricity, no heating, and no food on the table. it isn't just about toys, what we do. we give children the chance who have got nothing to be normalfor a period because of what we give to them. and this year in particular, this cost of living crisis, it's already biting? 100%. it's just dreadful. you can just see it in how people move around the shop. they come, they don't buy because they don't have the money. you feel sorry for them just looking at them perusing the 95p, the £2.95, the £1.95 priced items. and if they're struggling

to get those, what's left? if you can scrimp a bit each week then you do, because you know what's round the corner, which is christmas this time round. you don't want to let anybody down. so you want to make sure they get a little bit of something. i mean, you don't want to leave anybody out. i say it'll be tight, i but not as much as i would like to, you know? and what does that mean? what does a smaller christmas look like for you? bleak at the moment, love, to be honest. i ah, more goodies! back at secret santa, they're getting on with their important work and hope there's still time for a little seasonal goodwill and christmas magic. ellie price, bbc news, blackburn. we'rejoined now by richard lane from the debt charity stepchange, which offers advice to help people manage their budgets. very good morning to you, richard. we got a sense of what this means poor people. how are things with your charity? are you getting more people asking questions than normal?

yes, it's incredibly difficult unfortunately and we are seeing huge numbers of people coming to us for help and what they are telling us overwhelmingly as they feel they are facing a bit of a perfect storm. they were just getting back on their feet after the pandemic where they might have had a reduction in income or loss theirjob, and now they are seeing their rent is going up, the food is going up, energy prices going up, so people are incredibly scared as we head towards winter i'm afraid. :, , , , :, afraid. some of these things, you will know this _ afraid. some of these things, you will know this very _ afraid. some of these things, you will know this very well, - afraid. some of these things, you will know this very well, almost l will know this very well, almost outside of our control, we know the issues relating to ukraine, so when you give people advice, how can you help them in a practical sense? t help them in a practical sense? i think that's a really important point that we are there to give people advice to anyone who is worried about their money shouldn't be suffering in silence and there is support and help out there. what we would say to people is the first step is making sure you got a decent budget in place, do you know what you got going out and do you know what you got coming in so you can understand and help plan your

finances? if you're worried speak to your creditor or your utility provider, they can support you and offer a signposting to food banks, benefits, grants which might be available, so there is support out there and you do need to be getting that if you are worried about your finances. :, , �* finances. one of the things i'm seeinu a finances. one of the things i'm seeing a lot — finances. one of the things i'm seeing a lot in _ finances. one of the things i'm seeing a lot in newspapers - finances. one of the things i'm seeing a lot in newspapers andj seeing a lot in newspapers and websites is how much the cost of a roast dinner for example has gone up. traditionally, for many families in the uk, that is going to be christmas dinnerfor in the uk, that is going to be christmas dinner for example, and the prices go up as you go up to christmas. in normal times, the prices go up as you go up to christmas. in normaltimes, let alone in these times. what are the practical things people should be thinking about in terms of gathering the family around, the heating needs to be on an food to be cooked? flit to be on an food to be cooked? of course, for low income households food as a far bigger proportion of their outgoings, so whilst inflation, 10% for lots of house sales, it's far higher than that for many households because fundamental staples have gone up. make sure you

got planning, nine weeks until christmas which isn't long for many people, is this that you can start buying now? can you start putting a little bit aside every week if possible to cover some of those expenses as christmas is going to be more expensive than normal? we'd also say that it doesn't have to be an expensive time. of course they will be bits which cost more. it doesn't have to be bad gifts which can be forgotten very quickly after christmas. it should be about spending time together, making sure we are not stretching our budgets, further than they are able to go, and making sure we got control of our finances if at all possible. you will know this _ our finances if at all possible. you will know this very _ our finances if at all possible. you will know this very well that people are proud, people are proud, and sometimes that makes it hard for them to reach out to places that they should be getting help from? that's absolutely right and we know our clients on average wait about 12 months from the point they are in financial difficulty to actually taking that step in getting the help

they need. but overwhelmingly come what they tell us when they do do thatis what they tell us when they do do that is oh my god, i wish i'd done that is oh my god, i wish i'd done that sooner. they are so relieved that sooner. they are so relieved that point, please don't be proud. if anything good can come out at this current cost of living crisis, it should bb get better at talking about financial problems, because unfortunately, there are millions struggling at the moment, so don't be proud, don't worry about that stiff upper lip, britishness, it's ok to talk about your finances and your financial worries.— your financial worries. richard, thank you _ your financial worries. richard, thank you so — your financial worries. richard, thank you so much _ your financial worries. richard, thank you so much for- your financial worries. richard, thank you so much for talking i your financial worries. richard, | thank you so much for talking to your financialworries. richard, - thank you so much for talking to us this morning. isn't that interesting? that 12 month period from the time somebody should be approaching places which can help and for whatever reason they say no, that's not me, i won't do that. that crucial time. we are going to be talking to a government minister in a short while. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. welcome to bbc london

policies like the ones i am bringing in today to make sure our constituents can get to work and they can help grow their businesses and those in our public services can deliver the services we need. itrutheh deliver the services we need. when ou sa deliver the services we need. when you say making _ deliver the services we need. when you say making waves, _ deliver the services we need. when you say making waves, suella i you say making waves, suella braverman stepping down or being sacked, it's not quite clear, in her resignation letter she said the business of government relies on people accepting responsibility for their mistakes. pretending we have not made mistakes, carrying on as if everybody can't see we have made them and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics. she went on to say, i've made a mistake, i accept responsibility, i resign. ithink it is pretty clear what a member of liz truss's cabinet thinks about her former boss. do you think it is clear? t former boss. do you think it is clear? ~ . former boss. do you think it is clear? ,, , :, , former boss. do you think it is clear? : :, , , clear? i think she has clearly set out, and clear? i think she has clearly set out. and you _ clear? i think she has clearly set out, and you haven't _ clear? i think she has clearly set out, and you haven't read i clear? i think she has clearly set out, and you haven't read the i clear? i think she has clearly set i out, and you haven't read the whole letter, that she breached the ministerial code, and as ever... absolutely, but you as well as i are

very aware that a resignation letter is put in, you do not do a thinly veiled attack to your former boss. you are free to write whatever you like in a resignation letter. that is her choice and if you wanted to set that out. it's right when the prime minister realised we were not able to bring in as quickly as we would like the tax cuts to encourage greater growth, she said so, and has changed the path for now, asjeremy hunt sent —— said, we want to deliver lower taxes when the time is right but for now the focus is delivering on the energy price guarantee which was the most important thing we needed to do when liz truss came on as prime minister, to ensure our constituents can heat homes over the winter. absolutely, you brought in. homes over the winter. absolutely, you brought im— you brought in. that was for two ears you brought in. that was for two years and _ you brought in. that was for two years and that — you brought in. that was for two years and that has _ you brought in. that was for two years and that has been - you brought in. that was for two years and that has been cut i you brought in. that was for two years and that has been cut to i you brought in. that was for two l years and that has been cut to six months, which will then be put under review for those most in need by the

the right to strike continues but we expect everyone to work together in a reasonable way to ensure that the customer, the passenger, is able to carry on with their daily work because we must be ensuring we can keep the economy moving. it's never acceptable to hold all the transport systems to ransom. so acceptable to hold all the transport systems to ransom.— acceptable to hold all the transport systems to ransom. so whose fault is it, so ou systems to ransom. so whose fault is it. so you have _ systems to ransom. so whose fault is it. so you have a _ systems to ransom. so whose fault is it, so you have a company, _ systems to ransom. so whose fault is it, so you have a company, 9596 - systems to ransom. so whose fault is it, so you have a company, 9596 of. it, so you have a company, 95% of the workers of that company belong to a union, their union votes to take strike action and they go on strike, leaving only 5% of the workforce so the services can't run, whose fault is it? who is the onus on to have the minimum service? this is what the on to have the minimum service? ti 3 is what the legislation will bring in. the employer and unions will agree a minimum service agreement which will set out. it agree a minimum service agreement which will set out.— which will set out. it means the workers can't — which will set out. it means the workers can't go _ which will set out. it means the workers can't go on _ which will set out. it means the workers can't go on strike. - which will set out. it means the workers can't go on strike. it i which will set out. it means the l workers can't go on strike. it will be a roster— workers can't go on strike. it will be a roster system _ workers can't go on strike. it will be a roster system agreed - workers can't go on strike. it will be a roster system agreed so - workers can't go on strike. it will be a roster system agreed so a l be a roster system agreed so a minimum service level can be assured. 50 minimum service level can be assured. , assured. so then it is extended christmas _ assured. so then it is extended christmas so _ assured. so then it is extended christmas so any _ assured. so then it is extended christmas so any strike -

and so with just a few minutes to go, decided to walk off down the tunnel so notjoining in the post match celebrations, with his teamates leaving everyone wondering why. i don't pay attention today. we deal with that tomorrow. i want to get the focus on this team. it was a magnificent performance from all the 11 players. next to anfield where finally the home crowd got to see their star signing darwin nunez score in front of them. a sweet moment indeed as liverpool beat west ham 1—0. just above liverpool in sixth are newcastle united, who continued their great season with a stunning effort from miguel almiron, enough to beat everton at st james' park. and southampton got a much needed boost, thanks to a header from che adams. it helped them win the south coast derby at bournemouth, and moves them out of the relegation zone. elsewhere, chelsea drew 0—0 at brentford in the west london derby. now how many scottish league cup do celtic need? they certainly haven't lost their appetite for the trophy

they've won six times in the last eight seasons, thrashing motherwell 4—0, thanks to a double from liel abada. that sends them into the semi—finals and a date with kilmarnock rangers will meet aberdeen, in the last four after beating dundee 1—0. steven davis scored the goal after 9 minutes. aberdeen knocked out partick thistle. what a night for arsenal's women in france. they only went and thrashed lyon, the champions league champions, 5—1. this was their opening match, in the group, and what a statement of intent rounded off by england's beth mead, the runner up this week in the ballon d'or, who scored twice. at the rugby league world cup, wales were pinning their hopes on victory against the cook islands, but the nation with a population ofjust 17,000 were just too strong in the second half. wales haven't won in the world cup in 22 years, but were leading at half time, thanks to a try by ollie olds, and it was looking good. but they were overpowered

in the second half, as tries by from davvy molah and steven marsters inflicted an 18—12 win. wales face a tough test next on monday against tonga, the second best team in the world, according to the international rankings. they are missing some of their top players _ they are missing some of their top players through injury, and it will be hard _ players through injury, and it will be hard and it is a rest day at the world _ be hard and it is a rest day at the world cup. — be hard and it is a rest day at the world cup, and tonga are a hard challenge — world cup, and tonga are a hard challenue. . world cup, and tonga are a hard challenge-— world cup, and tonga are a hard challenue. . ., i. ., challenge. nice that you and matt have cross-referenced _ challenge. nice that you and matt have cross-referenced the - challenge. nice that you and matt| have cross-referenced the outfits. have cross—referenced the outfits. we had a nice wednesday night chat about— we had a nice wednesday night chat about outfits. the hair is looking similar~ — about outfits. the hair is looking similar. ., . , similar. you should intrude cleverly -- include — similar. you should intrude cleverly -- include charlie, _ similar. you should intrude cleverly -- include charlie, he _ similar. you should intrude cleverly -- include charlie, he will - similar. you should intrude cleverly -- include charlie, he will feel- —— include charlie, he will feel left out. good morning, matt. quite a stormy start in some parts

of the country under stormy night across the west but this shot from the last hour in northamptonshire shows the lightning storms continuing further east, so they are running into parts of leicestershire and south nottinghamshire and its all being driven by a deep area of low pressure. i'll start because the wind is going on an anti clockwise fashion dragging out warm airfrom iberia and we saw record—breaking heat earlier in the week but not that hot here because we have outbreaks of rain and this is where it is in the past few hours, some lightning strikes and scattered rain across parts of scotland, northern england but more persistent rain across the midlands. the heaviest rain has been through the channel islands and that will move into southern counties pushing northwards through the date so this afternoon in south—east scotland and north—east england seeing the most persistent rain but wet across east anglia and the south—east but overall brightening up and for the driest weather today it will be parts of northern ireland and wales on the south—west but also the north of scotland, but quite a breeze

blowing and some of the coolest conditions, whereas elsewhere, i'll start and this afternoon in the south with the sunshine it will feel pretty warm for october. as we go through the evening and overnight, wet start and end to the day across parts of eastern scotland but the rain fizzles out a bit as we go through the night. mist and fog across parts of central and eastern england which could be an issue tomorrow morning. it in the west, early fog will clear because wales on the south—west will see showers pushing but there will be a strengthening breeze which could touch gale force tomorrow. but tomorrow it looks like the showers will develop more widely and not as wet as some you will see today. back to you both. it's time now for us to catch up with the children in need rickshaw challenge team now, who all this week have been on their relay around the uk. they are in birmingham. and you are in the rain. jane is in the rain, but they don't care.— in the rain. jane is in the rain, but they don't care. nobody cares about the rain _ but they don't care. nobody cares about the rain here. _

stay with us, headlines coming up. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. the prime minister fights for herjob after a chaotic day in the commons following the resignation of the home secretary. i hope all those people that put liz truss in number ten,

i hope it was worth it. i hope it was worth it for the ministerial red box. to sit round the cabinet table, because the damage they have done to our party is extraordinary. after to our party is extraordinary. the turmoil of the [as days, after the turmoil of the last few days, liz truss's claim to power, one of her own mps warns she has hours to turn it around. a warning that the decline of the traditonal gp—patient relationship is harming people's health. thousands of royal mail and bt workers go out on strike today. we are live as unions warn of the potential for coordinated action this winter. a night of celebrations for manchester united, but criticism for christiano as ronaldo leaves before the end. pundits say it was unacceptable for christiano, to walk down the tunnel before full time after not being used in manchester united's victory over spurs. and in downing street, lots of rain

around especially this morning. drier and brighter to the south and west and i have all the details here on breakfast. good morning. it's thursday october 20th. our main story. the prime minister's position is looking increasingly vulnerable today after some of her own mps called for her to resign. it followed a chaotic day for the government with the resignation of the home secretary, accusations of bullying and confusion over whether the chief whip had resigned. our political correspondent lone wells reports. reporter: is this a coalition of chaos, mr schapps? - another day, another new cabinet minister. grant shapps, sacked just six weeks ago by liz truss, returns as her new home secretary. look, obviously it's been a turbulent time for the government, but i think the most important thing is to make sure that people in this country know that they've got security and that's why it's a great honour to be appointed as home secretary. he stepped up after suella braverman

stepped down, resigning over two data breaches. but have a look at her resignation letter. she wrote to the prime minister — "pretending we haven't made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can't see that we have made them and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics. i have made a mistake. i accept responsibility. i resign " she was hinting at what some conservative mps were saying privately and publicly last night here in westminster, that the government has lost its authority and that they think liz truss should go. another source of tension last night was a vote in parliament tabled by labour about whether mps should get a say on the government's plans to bring back fracking. downing street told tory mps the vote would be considered a vote of confidence in the government itself, and if they didn't oppose it and back the government they would face being kicked out of the parliamentary party. in the voting lobbies, there was confusion with some mps not sure of the consequences

of their vote. here was the damning assessment from one veteran tory mp. i think it's a shambles and a disgrace. i think it is utterly appalling. so you seem... i'm livid. and, you know, i really shouldn't say this, but i hope all those people that put liz truss in numberten, i hope it was worth it. if it was worth it for the ministerial red box, i hope it was worth it to sit round the cabinet table because the damage they have done to our party is extraordinary. and then came this allegation from a labour mp. i saw members being physically manhandled into another- lobby and being bullied. is there a chief whip? all the chaos and confusion here fuelled questions among mps about whether the government's chief and deputy chief whips in charge of party discipline had resigned and at one stage even their government colleagues did not know the answer. i'm not entirely clear on what the situation is with the chief whip.

there has been an element of confusion over whether the vote was a confidence vote or not. it was a great victory today. chief whip, great credit to her. but people being manhandled into the voting lobbies? - chief whip did a great job today. they both remain in post, seemingly with the backing of the deputy prime minister, who was on her way to a gathering of senior conservatives at a private member's club. but it's the prime minister's position that is looking increasingly vulnerable today, with some tory mps confirming they have sent letters of no confidence in liz truss to sir graham brady, who runs the committee of backbench tory mps. how many letters have been sent in, sir? all thisjust six weeks into her premiership. herfate now depends on what her own mps here in westminster decide to do next. lone wells, bbc news. our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in downing street this morning. it's very rainy this morning. quite

prophetic in some ways. the question is, can the prime minister stay in office for much longer?— is, can the prime minister stay in office for much longer? what is the roverb? office for much longer? what is the proverb? it — office for much longer? what is the proverb? it never— office for much longer? what is the proverb? it never rains _ office for much longer? what is the proverb? it never rains but - office for much longer? what is the proverb? it never rains but it - proverb? it never rains but it pours. and that must be how it feels for the prime minister this morning. there is a real sense of mounting crisis. around westminster. chaos in parliament last night. there are angry tory mps furious about being told to do one thing and then to be told to do one thing and then to be told to do another and then been told to do another and then been told they might be disciplined for doing something. there are serious opposition mps who say the government is no longer functioning. and this morning, one of liz truss's own mps, the conservative mp simon morris told the bbc she has 12 hours to turn things around. let's be clear, he is saying that her government could face collapse as soon as today. now, on breakfast,

half an hour ago, we heard from a cabinet minister, the transport secretary, anne—marie trevelyan, who told us that as things stood, the prime minister does have the support and the confidence of her cabinet. she was selected through a long and tortuous— she was selected through a long and tortuous process over the summer you all followed — tortuous process over the summer you all followed very closely by our members and that's how our conservative party system works to choose _ conservative party system works to choose a _ conservative party system works to choose a leader, so we stand firmly alongside _ choose a leader, so we stand firmly alongside her as we deliver very important — alongside her as we deliver very important growth projects and indeed stabilisation of the economy, so that we — stabilisation of the economy, so that we can continue to deliver all the important front line services for our— the important front line services for our constituents through the winter~ — for our constituents through the winter. 50— for our constituents through the winter. ., �* , , ,., ., for our constituents through the winter. ., �* , , ., ., winter. so that's the message from a cabinet minister _ winter. so that's the message from a cabinet minister this _ winter. so that's the message from a cabinet minister this morning. - winter. so that's the message from a cabinet minister this morning. what l cabinet minister this morning. what happens today? well, the prime minister is going to be meeting more mps here in downing street and the house of commons. she is going to face a big task i think to turn this around. it's hard to overstate the

sense of exasperation amongst certain parts of the conservative party, butjust one thing to bear in mind, overthe party, butjust one thing to bear in mind, over the course of today, we've been saying it all week on breakfast, there is still a question which hasn't been answered by liz truss's opponents in the conservative party. who do they want to take over? it's not clear what mechanism they would use to force her out. it's still not clear getting rid of her might bring more chaos than we are seeing at the moment, but the picture in westminster this morning, notjust the weather, but politically, it pretty bleak. there's a lot of conservative mps weighing up what to do today. we conservative mps weighing up what to do toda . ~ ~ , ., ., do today. we will keep following events, nick. _ do today. we will keep following events, nick. thanks _ do today. we will keep following events, nick. thanks so - do today. we will keep following events, nick. thanks so much. l a decline in the traditional gp—patient relationship is putting people's health at risk according to a report by mps. the health and social care committee said seeing your gp should not be like "booking an uber driver" and it's called for more to be done to ensure patients see the same doctor. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports.

so last time we were talking about you had a sore in your mouth and we sent you for a chest x—ray, didn't we? 84—year—old rob heardon has come to see his gp because of a mouth condition, and it is his gp. the practice here aims to ensure patients see the same doctor each time. it's easy for me because i can feel relaxed when i come in and i know that the doctor that i've seen, or my local doctor that i am seeing on a regular basis, knows me, and that that gives me the assurance that our doctors can be straight with us. they can be like a friend. what i'm going to suggest we do is refer you to see the oral mouth specialist... drjacob lee has what's known as a personal list of patients. a tiny fraction of gps in england have these. he looks after around 400 families. and sometimes what they want to do is to take a little biopsy. of those 400 we will see

about 30% really regularly, but i would know probably up to 70% of the patients on my list and out of each family i'll know somebody in there. when we see a patient for ten or 15 minutes in an appointment, having continuity means that it's notjust ten or 15 minutes on its own. these are ten or 15 minutes that mount up. so, actually, over a year, you might see them for an hour, and over two years, you might see them for a few hours. and it's this building an understanding about a patient and the patient builds an understanding about you and how you're going to support them. surgeries like this where doctors and patients tend to know each other don't just feel better, but evidence suggests they are better. a recent major study from norway has shown a reduction in hospital emergency admissions and also deaths of up to 30%. today's report from mps is urging ministers to prioritise continuity of care where gps see the same patients. it wants nhs england to reintroduce

personal lists for doctors and to require practices to report on progress. but the report says without changes like these, and others, patient safety is being put at risk. and doctors agree. no doubt at all, it's a crisis. some practices are remarkably- managing to cope, but most practices are really struggling. they're on a knife edge of notjust being able to provide high - quality personal care, - but actually even being able to provide safe care. the government says it's improving gp services with same—day appointments for those in need and no waits longer than two weeks. but mps have said those measures don't go far enough. sophie hutchinson, bbc news, bristol. striking rail workers will be forced to maintain a minimum level of service during industrial action under new rules being proposed by the government. the measures mean that a minimum number of trains would still run on strike days,

but unions have slammed the move as "autocratic". it comes as thousands of communications workers from royal mail, bt and openreach walk out today in a row over pay and conditions. the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse will publish its final report today. it's spent seven years examining how institutions in england and wales responded to sexual abuse dating back to the 1950s. the report is expected to focus on whether there should be a new law requiring people working with children to report any suspicions of abuse. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. we were talking to nick outside downing street and it was chucking it down. i don't think that's the technical phrase, but who else is going to experience that today? quite a few this morning. good morning. not a brilliant commute if you are on foot or on bicycle. heavy rain at the moment in east sussex,

this was taken in the last 15 minutes. you saw downing street there, the one crumb of comfort to give some of you, it's not cold. the exception being the far north of scotland. mild in the south but here we have the heaviest downpours of the moment. showing you the radar chart, rumbles of thunder. more persistent rain across southern counties. further north, the rain is more scattered across northern england and parts of scotland but where you do see those downpours, they will be pretty intense. certainly, over the coming hours, the rain and heavy across southern england, spreading too much of the midlands into northern england, where it will turn more persistent, especially on the pennines as we go through the morning rush hour into mid—morning as it will do in eastern scotland too. not everyone will see the heavy rain. yesterday, northern ireland, wales and the west where the wettest but today they are the driest. it should brighten up in a dinner to southern counties but heavy showers here and there in the afternoon and this afternoon, as we head towards the evening rush hour,

north—east england, south—east scotland, is where the most heavy rain will be. temperatures today, coolest in northern scotland with an easterly breeze. lighter winds compared to yesterday further south, and it should feel warm in the sunshine. rain to start with across scotland tonight, fizzing through the night, a funky start tomorrow morning through eastern england and towards the west of england, wales, plenty of showers around, strengthening wind. tomorrow, a showery day but not as wet as today for many of you. this weekend, saturday is the driest of the two days. i will have more details later. back to you both. thank you very much- — an independent review has found that poor care may have led to the deaths of 45 babies at east kent nhs hospitals trust. a report published yesterday showed investigators found "gross failures" and "sub—optimal" care led to significant harm at the trust, which been under scrutiny for some time. let's ta ke

let's take you through some of the details. in august 2014, the trust was placed into special measures following a care quality commission report which criticised maternity services. three years later, in november 2017, baby harry richford died just a week after being born at the queen elizabeth queen mother hospital in margate. the following january, an inquest found that his death was "wholly avoidable". east kent nhs hospitals trust was fined £733,000 for failing to provide safe care and treatment for him and his mother. the death was the catalyst for an independent investigation to be launched into the trust, which focused on infant deaths at two hospitals in margate and ashford between 2009 and 2020. we'rejoined by the report's author dr bill kirkup, who's in gateshead, and dawn powell, whose son archie died four this is the moment your daughter

becomes obsessed with the monitors and it keeps you quiet. good morning to you both. your son archie was born and died for days afterwards. he was born at the queen elizabeth queen mother hospital in margate, in 2019. we will talk about that in a moment. i think if we'd talk to the doctorfirst and i moment. i think if we'd talk to the doctor first and i saw the press conference yesterday that when you gave your findings, and conference yesterday that when you gave yourfindings, and i must say you seemed very emotional and i can only imagine the number of cases you've had to go through and the trauma of every parent, every parent which lost a child and didn't have answers, in terms of that impact, this report, what does it mean? yes. this report, what does it mean? yes, it certainly was _ this report, what does it mean? yes, it certainly was a _ this report, what does it mean? yes, it certainly was a very _ this report, what does it mean? yes, it certainly was a very harrowing process — it certainly was a very harrowing process to — it certainly was a very harrowing process to go through that, of course, — process to go through that, of course, not nearly as much as it was

at me on a personal note in as much as the things you were deprived of because of this. you are able to talk about this and clearly this report will give you some comfort, but you were not able to hold your son, is that right? i but you were not able to hold your son, is that right?— but you were not able to hold your son, is that right? i only held him, them together. — son, is that right? i only held him, them together, once. _ son, is that right? i only held him, them together, once. and - son, is that right? i only held him, them together, once. and pretty i son, is that right? i only held him, - them together, once. and pretty much from that point onwards, he was on the resuscitating. his elder sister came to see him. both of them. they never got to hold him. pretty much from that, he went to special care and that was that. the last time i got to hold him was when we switched his life support. and he was in my arms. ~ ., his life support. and he was in my arms. ~ . ., ., , his life support. and he was in my arms. . ., ., , ., his life support. and he was in my arms. ~ . ., ., , ., arms. what comfort, if any, do you aet from arms. what comfort, if any, do you get from this _ arms. what comfort, if any, do you get from this report? _ arms. what comfort, if any, do you get from this report? i _ arms. what comfort, if any, do you get from this report? i suppose - arms. what comfort, if any, do you get from this report? i suppose the important thing, and we will speak to the author of the report in just a moment, what difference can it make? i'm sure that is front and

once every month. so usually i'd go in for about nine tp half nine, and i'd finish around half four or five. so i'm here with rejoice who is looking after me today. the staff here are all lovely and really supportive. and really amazing. but as amazing as the medical care is, thalassemia is usually a lifelong condition, not easy to live with. i think the biggest impact was just feeling different from everyone else. i just felt very isolated and i didn't want to sort of socialise or be around others. ijust wanted to lock myself away in my bedroom and just sleep. it was hard? very hard, yeah. so instead of spending her childhood doing all the things children usually do, sanna was too often too tired, too exhausted to isolated to go out. that was until a children in need funded charity called oscar birmingham came along. how do i look, pudsey? let's go.

this project is helping young people like sanna in the heart of birmingham, and it has really helped turn her life around. right. welcome to oscar birmingham. i first started off myjourney with oscar at around 12 years old, receiving support, but now i'm here to mentor young children as well, which is amazing. this is where sanna gained a new social circle which understood her condition. and it's where sanna today is a mentor helping other young joan people on the same journey. right, ears on! 0k. here we go. ready? can you tell me a bit about how brilliant this charity is, and how children in need has helped us so much? absolutely amazing charity. we're the only ones to be able to reach out to children and young people who are isolated, low in confidence and affected by sickle cell thalassemia, offer a variety of workshops, mentoring, support. really to kind of connect with each other outside of a hospital environment. without the support of the public and children in need, we wouldn't be in existence.

and now, to pay it back, a new challenge lies ahead — the rickshaw relay. sanna needs all the support she can get. you have to make a confession, don't you? yeah. which is what? i have never ridden a bike before. laughter. yeah. so my actual route will be around 28 miles, and that's approximately six to seven hours, which is obviously not an easy sort of first time bike around birmingham. so if anyone's free around in birmingham on thursday, you know, does anyone want to come see me? that would be really appreciated. sanna, you're going to be absolutely amazing. i know you've never ridden a bike before. we have every faith in you. you've got this, sanna. come on, sanna, you can do this. you've got this, sanna. to sanna, you're the best mentor i ever had. -
