6:11 am
liz truss, she was the time, did have her telephone hacked and among the details said to have been obtained, according to the mail on sunday, messages between liz truss and the former chancellor and friend was a ouattro. as well as ministers and officials from around the country regarding the war in ukraine. the conservative leader contest was playing out in the summer which liz truss went on to win. opposition parties seized on the claim that her phone was hacked. the shadow home secretary yvette cooper saying these were important security issues raised by an attack like this and they will have to be taken extremely seriously. she is calling for an urgent investigation as are the liberal democrats who are drawing attention to the fact that no details were made public at the time. why was there a so—called news blackout, they asked. they would
6:12 am
have been huge sensitivity in government and concern about how this would have looked if it had been made public that the foreign secretary �*s phone was hacked and how that would reflect on the uk standards on cybersecurity. in a statement the government say they do not comment on individual security arrangements but that there are robust systems in place to protect against cyber threat including regular security briefings four ministers. the speaker of the us house of representatives nancy pelosi has said she's "heartbroken" and "traumatised" after a man broke into her home in san francisco and beat her husband with a hammer. in her first statement since friday's attack, she said paul pelosi's condition was improving and thanked police for their quick response. it's thought the suspect intended to target nancy pelosi herself. russia has announced it is suspending its involvement in the internationally—brokered deal that allows ukraine to export grain from its black sea ports.
6:13 am
moscow says it took the decision after what it called a "massive" drone strike in occupied crimea, which it claims british troops were involved in. ukraine has not taken responsibility for the attack but president zelensky called russia's move rather predictable. voters in brazil will take part in the final round of presidential elections today. opinion polls show the left—wing candidate, luiz inacio lula da silva, marginally ahead of the country's current far—right leader, jair bolsonaro. russell trott reports. taking the voting machines to the voters is not always easy. the only way is by boat in this region of the amazon. they are preparing for one of brazil's most important and historic elections. the choice is simple. the motorbike—riding bolsonaro, who has the support of conservatives and many religious voters. lula da silva, your

place is injail! or the former leader, lula da silva, who has been tainted by corruption scandals but maintains support. tainted by corruption scandals but maintains the support of the poor. "bolsonaro has no limits when it comes to making threats. he is out of control," he says. the two candidates took part in a televised debate ahead of the run—off vote on sunday, accusing each other of lying as they attacked their rival�*s character and record on a range of issues. and those are complex and bitterly contested. deforestation and the treatment of brazil's indigenous communities, allegations of corruption and the way the pandemic was handled. the latest polls put lula in the lead but with the gap narrowing, there are still many brazilians who feel that neither contender represents them and they could be crucial
6:15 am
in deciding who becomes president. we will talk more about the elections later in the programme. it is quarter past six, not quarter past seven as you might think. clocks across the uk have gone back by an hour overnight, signalling the end of british summer time. edmonton extra hour of work at the poor old production team. the change also marks the completion of a restoration project on the clock in the houses of parliament, widely but unofficially known as big ben. here it is being switched on this morning. it's the first time the clock has been on greenwich mean time since 2017. i feel like it ifeel like it said one i feel like it said one o'clock so that must have been then. i was awake at the time, watch my phone reset itself. just awake at the time, watch my phone reset itself-—

6:32 am
australia beat back, showing their style before the break. after the recent the conditions improved but england result stayed the same as they demonstrated their superiority. not everything was perfect but it did not need to be. the world number one barely made it into top gear, australia still in amateur status simply could not keep up. all seven of the tries came from forwards. an impressive performance from the team and a memorable day for the captain. it has a week that i kind of put it to one side because the most important thing was about the team performance and getting the win against australia to get into the semi—final. against australia to get into the semi-final-_ semi-final. now that it has happened. _ semi-final. now that it has happened. i— semi-final. now that it has happened, i can _ semi-final. now that it has happened, i can maybe i semi-final. now that it has i happened, i can maybe reflect a little bit and just realise what it means. little bit and 'ust realise what it means. .,, , . , little bit and 'ust realise what it means. , . , ., means. the red roses cruise into the last four in — means. the red roses cruise into the last four in their _ means. the red roses cruise into the last four in their 29th _ means. the red roses cruise into the last four in their 29th consecutive i last four in their 29th consecutive wins.

it is going to be canada who beat usa anything other quarter—final. there was heartbreak for scotland's men team against australia in their first autumn nations series match. they had a chance to win the game in the final seconds, but blair kinghorn missed this last—gasp penalty, which meant australia won byjust one point, 16 points to 15. scotland had been 15—6 up in that match at murrayfield. next up is fiji. to the rugby league world cup now, where england wracked up the second largest victory in tournament history, as they hammered greece 9a—a at bramall lane. they scored an incredible seventeen tries in total with dom young scoring four in the first half alone. marc sneyd scored 13 conversions on the way to the victory, but says they struggled to get any rhythm due to their constant scoring. it was hard to get some kind of
6:34 am
momentum is probably the right word but some practice in basically for next week but obviously to have a skyline like that in every world cup, not going to complain about it but be happy about it. not so good for scotland though, they are out of the world cup after being beaten by fiji. they needed an improbable win by more than 65 points to stand any chance to reaching the quarter—finals but were beaten 30—1a. the win means fiji are almost certain to qualify as group b runners—up behind australia, and play new zealand in the last eight. leeds stunned liverpool at anfield, with a late goal earning them the win and moving them out of the relegation zone. it's a first victory for leeds at anfield since 2001. 2—1 the final score, with this from cry—sencio summerville sending the leeds fans delirious in the away end. liverpool's unbeaten run at home in the league came to an end — 29 games without defeat prior to this. safe to say liverpool boss
6:35 am
jurgen klopp wasn't pleased. the first is unlucky but the second one cannot happen. but it happened so that his wife we lose again. maybe if we draw game, i stand here and nobody is smiling on my face, a point against leeds but i would easily take it because our situation is not easy. also unhappy, chelsea boss graham potter, as his return to brighton ended in a a—1 defeat on the south coast. the hosts were 3 nil up at half time, when pascal gross rounded off a day to remember with their fourth in stoppage time. potter recieved a hostile reception with some booing from brighton fans before kick off. he was returning for the first time sincejoining chelsea in september — but potter says he wasn't impacted by the atmosphere it is what it is. like i said, i have nothing to apologise for, nothing to say sorry for, i think i did a good job for the club and i
6:36 am
left it in a good place, a good team with good players and a lot of money into the bank but people are entitled to their opinions. it took a late stoppage time winner for tottenham to see off bournemouth. antonio conte's side were 2—0 down but completed their comeback in added time with rodrigo bentancur scoring from that corner to make it 3—2. the spurs boss said he was delighted with the teams never say die attitude. but it's manchester city who ended the day top of the premier league. an outstanding free kick from kevin de bruyne was enough to send the champions back to the summit of the table. but arsenal can retake their lead if they beat nottingham forest later today. newcastle extended their unbeaten run to eight games with a a—0 win over aston villa. in boxing, katie taylor is still the undisputed lightweight champion of the world. she retained the ibf, wba, wbc, wbo belts against karen elizabeth cara bajal at wembley arena by unanimous decision. promoter eddie hearn confirmed taylor's next fight will be in her home country of ireland.

6:38 am
japan. a country of 6000 islands, dominated by honshu, the home of their country's capital. but 500 kilometres south of tokyo is the kansai region they call the heart of japan. and a city with a very different history and personality — osaka. this was japan's real first gateway to the rest of asia. korea and china especially. it is a real trading hub,
6:39 am
export, import, commerce and it was run and still is by businessmen and merchants. and it is those generations of wealthy traders who have shaped the city, creating its own unique culture. it has become a centre for food and developed as a home for popular entertainment. it is frantic behind there. in particular, humour became osaka's speciality. flourishing into a multimillion—dollar business. it is about nine o'clock in the morning and look at this. this is the hottest ticket in town. osaka is japan's mecca of comedy. these guys are really famous here. this theatre claims to be the busiest and most popular comedy venue in all ofjapan. the demand is phenomenal, it is open 365 days a year
6:40 am
to full houses of up to four shows a day. that is around one million people a year. thanks to constant tv exposure, comics are huge celebrities. fans travel from all over the country to see the stars live on stage. why are you here? the show includes many types of comedy but one of the most common and popular is manzai. a double act with a straight man and a funny guy trading jokes and it is this style that emerged in osaka.
6:41 am
this is now the third act that we have seen and each one is going down a storm. laughter. i wanted to find out more about the roots of comedy in this city. hello! kaishi—san! nice to meet you! katsura kaishi practices the traditional form of comic story telling, rakugo, and he says osaka's love of entertainment and culture evolved from its trading history. so there is a very special sense of humour here in osaka. 0k. kaishi has learned to perform in english as well as japanese in order to share his
6:42 am
art with the world. i'll go to your show tomorrow, we'll see, we'll find out. rakugo comedy was invented by buddhist monks to make their teachings more entertaining. speaking english: there was a car accident, - and the family — father, mother, and their children were all hospitalised. but their pet, a monkey, was the only one left with the police. it's a storytelling tradition that obviously resembles stand—up comedy, but this
6:43 am
is some 200 years older. what was the father doing? he was drinking, maybe he was drinking and driving. what were you doing, monkey? after the show, i wanted to get some tips from the expert. hold the pen? "monkey, what was the father doing?" "hang on a minute, what were you doing, monkey?" and that's it? they laugh. you should maybe move to japan and should be a professional rakugo performer. really? laughter.
6:44 am
time now to leave osaka and head 30km south to a satellite city, kishiwada, home to japan's most famous and dangerous festival. i am about to witness something really quite special, one of japan's wildest annual festivals. and it is rehearsal time for a jamboree that has been going on for 300 years. it began when local craftsmen would show off their wares to the lord of the castle. today, the tradition continues with teams, still all—male, from individual neighbourhoods, competing in a procession around the city.
6:45 am
this year marks the debut of a brand—new float, or danjiri, and p0 is the proud master craftsman. are you excited? maybe i could help, could i help with your rehearsal? maybe. before anything can happen there is an official blessing where they pray for safety. they are making an offering to the god for a wish for a happy and safe festival. i am now a member of a very special group.
6:46 am
even though this is a dress rehearsal it is deadly serious. deadly serious. it may not technically be a race but pride dictates the four ton float hurtles around at full throttle. every year there are accidents and even deaths. but the tradition continues. wow! 35 floats in total tackle this course at the same time. so when you get down these very narrow streets in particular this will be really dangerous because that is a four ton load on top and when they turn the corner, they can bash into the corner of buildings.
6:47 am
it is crazy. it is like bull running in spain. but madder. after three hours of rehearsal, the teams take a breather. were there any dangerous moments, any times when you were a bit worried? do you have the energy to do two more days, long days? so ijoined the hundreds of thousands of spectators for the real thing. the biggest event of the year. right now we have the perfect
6:48 am
6:49 am
to explore one of the thousands of others. my next destination is japan's fourth biggest island, shikoku, where roads become narrow and winding and you are surrounded by dense forests of cedar trees. the views from up here are simply stunning. we're now in the mountains on the western side of the island. the iya valley — in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, these remote highlands were a perfect hideaway — literally. right, i'm now going to relive a bit of ancient japanese history. we're really inland and remote here up in the mountains, and this is where disgraced or defeated warriors would escape to. so this is the legendary kazurabashi bridge, apparently
6:50 am
about a thousand years old made of vine and wisteria — here we go, it's supposed to be really dodgy to cross. but hey, if warriors did it before, so can i. the plan would be you'd get across this bridge and then cut the vines so that the enemy couldn't catch you. mind you, getting across the bridge in the first place is hard enough. the gap between these planks of wood here is, i'd say, large enough to have your foot go through. look at that, they are sprinting across here. you're doing very well.
6:51 am
so these guys are using the side railings which is very sensible, but i think the real samurai way is to walk across through the middle, so i'm going to do that. 15 metres up, 150 feet across, this bridge is today reinforced with steel girders and rebuilt every two or three years. yes! whata samurai can do, i can do. so further inland we go, and the stranger things become. so i'm now walking into a village, nagoro, which on the face of it, it's like many other rural villages injapan, it's peaceful, serene and quiet — almost too quiet. nagoro is going through
6:52 am
the same process as thousands of other villages here — a low birthrate and an exodus nagoro is going through the same process as thousands of other villages here — a low birthrate and an exodus from the countryside to the big city, leaving an alarming number of new ghost towns. but one lady who returned to her home village to look after her elderly father was dismayed by this trend, and vowed to try and repopulate the village...after a fashion. konnichiwa! ayu na—san? speaks japanese. rajan — nice to meet you, and yourfriends.
6:53 am
now it's become a cottage industry, using old newspapers and clothes donated by fellow villagers and well—wishers, ayano has created her own scarecrow community. we will call it hiro! it takes two days to prepare and make each scarecrow, and now there are 350 of these mannequins — way outnumbering the ten villagers left here. some people may find this scene rather spooky but for ayano, it's brought unexpected celebrity. tourists arrive in regular numbers from all over the world, and there's an annual scarecrow festival. now it's time to take the new boy to find some friends. i think i'm more attached to these scarecrows than ayano—san is, frankly. wow.
6:54 am
6:55 am
from a community on the verge of extinction, to one forever on the edge of danger. my next destination takes me 600 kilometres south to japan's third—largest island and the city of kagoshima, in the shadow of the country's most volatile mountain, sakurajima. japan is home to 108 active volcanoes, more than almost any other country. beneath us, three peaks of the volcano and two craters. there are three eruptions a day on average from sakurajima, and today it is happily gurgling sulphuric gases, making the air pungent.
6:56 am
100 years ago there was a massive eruption from this volcano, which basicallyjoined it to the main island. it used to be a separate island. in fact all the time, new islands are being created all across japan because of volcanic activity. 5,000 people live in this area, their daily lives constantly affected basically by what this volcano does. so what is it like actually living down there? only a couple of months before our visit, 77 people here were evacuated. akira ohmura is a local tour guide who has lived here for six years, and he says he loves the energy of the place. first stop, an unusual beach where
6:57 am
the sand isn't really sand, but lava ash. tourists who he meets are always surprised that the volcano erupts so frequently, and that people actually live here — but that's because they are so well—prepared. the monitoring equipment here is some of the best in the world, and locals take the danger in their stride. mayumi ohyama was recently forced to evacuate from her beloved hometown.
6:58 am
but in spite of the constant threat of upheaval, she wouldn't live anywhere else. and there are some fringe benefits from living in a volcanic zone. south of kagoshima lies ibusuki, a unique hot spring resort. basically i am about to be slow baked in a sand oven of 50 celsius. for therapeutic reasons, i am assured.
6:59 am
it's hot, i'm sweating underneath here. and it is a very strange experience, but i think the thing is to just relax into it, i guess. so at the end of my all—too—brief time injapan, i am struck by the sheer diversity of the country in terms of culture, landscape and people. yeah, you are smart! you're good! laughs. as soon as i got off the regular tourist trail, i encountered quirky, humorous, adaptable individuals who love to live life to the max. and ultimately, i am left with a deep sense of serenity and tradition that is, i would venture to say, uniquely japanese. that was... unlike anything.

7:02 am
in a popular nightlife area. oh, my god. then this — panic, horror, chaos. the scene after the deadly crush was shocking. not in view in these pictures but elsewhere, there were rows of bodies. some were carried into ambulances. cpr was performed on those on the ground but for so many nothing could be done. official said most victims were in their teens and 20s. these 21—year—olds watched emergency services treat the many injured. they said the scene it was like something out of a movie, that it was completely out of control. the crush happened as a huge crowd, as many as 100,000, gathered for halloween. there are so many people to the point we were being crushed on the pavement, to the point where we had to spill
7:03 am
onto the road where there were cars. no—one really understood what was going on but there were already several police cars at the scene in front of itaewon station and police standing on top of their police cars, desperately trying to tell people to leave the area as soon as possible. reports say people surged into this narrow alley which was packed. some have described a scramble to escape the suffocating crowd, as people piled on top of one another. translation: the incident happened as large numbers of people fell downl during halloween festivals, which caused serious injuries. a makeshift morgue has now been set up close to the scene, there is now a grim process of identifying the dead. there are so many victims. this is an area that
7:04 am
is hugely popular, not just with locals but foreigners, too. earlier, south korea's president visited the scene and announced a period of national mourning. during his visit he said his heart was heavy, adding that he felt responsible for people's lives and safety. world leaders expressed their shock, including prime minister rishi sunak who said: exactly what caused the crush will be the focus of an investigation which has been started by south korea's president. right now there is profound shock, distress and grief that a night of celebration ended with so many dead and injured. helena wilkinson, bbc news.

off and we could hear the fire brigade trying to get through the crowd that had spread onto the road. ambulances were trying to get through but that was not easy either. it was not clear what was happening at that moment, because there was so much music and people dancing and people coming out of the station to come and have a good time. it was evident that something was going on but i guess no—one really knew for sure what was going on. ~ , ., . really knew for sure what was going on. ., ,, really knew for sure what was going on. ~ ., ,, ., on. while you are speaking, we are seeinv on. while you are speaking, we are seeing pictures _ on. while you are speaking, we are seeing pictures found _ on. while you are speaking, we are seeing pictures found at _ on. while you are speaking, we are seeing pictures found at the - on. while you are speaking, we are seeing pictures found at the time, | seeing pictures found at the time, possibly some of it your footage, but from camera crews, people giving cpr on the street. it must have been terrifying to put it mildly. this cpr on the street. it must have been terrifying to put it mildly.— terrifying to put it mildly. this is a horrific footage _ terrifying to put it mildly. this is a horrific footage and _ terrifying to put it mildly. this is a horrific footage and horrifying | a horrific footage and horrifying videos are coming out. emerging on

there see many people trying to get through the alleyway to get to the clubs and to the bars stop whether this is true or not, i guess it does not really matter too much in the sense that we just know there were too many people crowded into this one small spot and multiple people that i have spoken to seem to corroborate that people deposit the front of this alleyway, which is on a slope, people at the front, at the bottom of the alleyway, some people seem to have tripped over and fallen on the floor while people were pushing to go into the alleyway and people were pushing to get out of the alleyway and it caused some kind of stampede and i think there would be a thorough investigation into what exactly happened but for now we do not know 100% how it was triggered. do not know 100% how it was triggered-— do not know 10096 how it was triv vered. . ~ ,, , . do not know 10096 how it was triv vered. . ~ , . ., triggered. thank you very much for talkinv triggered. thank you very much for talkin: to triggered. thank you very much for talking to you _ triggered. thank you very much for talking to you this _ triggered. thank you very much for talking to you this morning. -

president biden called the move outrageous, adding that it would increase starvation. our correspondent hugo bachega is monitoring developments from the ukrainian capital, kyiv. joe biden talking about the implications for the world. hugo, what would russia withdrawing from this deal mean for ukraine? and for the wider scene? for ukraine it means the — and for the wider scene? for ukraine it means the country _ and for the wider scene? for ukraine it means the country is _ and for the wider scene? for ukraine it means the country is unlikely i and for the wider scene? for ukraine it means the country is unlikely to i it means the country is unlikely to be able to continue with its grain exports but this is likely to have an impact on countries all around the globe because ukraine is one of the globe because ukraine is one of the world's largest grain exporters and the fear is that this decision by russia could worsen a global food crisis but let me tell you what happened yesterday because russia is saying this is a reaction to a drone

7:16 am
of the country's current far—right leader, jair bolsonaro. russell trott reports. taking the voting machines to the voters is not always easy. the only way is by boat in this region of the amazon. they are preparing for one of brazil's most important and historic elections. the choice is simple. the motorbike—riding bolsonaro, who has the support of conservatives and many religious voters. lula da silva, your place is injail! or the former leader, lula da silva, who has been tainted by corruption scandals but maintains the support of the poor. "bolsonaro has no limits when it comes to making threats. he is out of control," he says. the two candidates took part in a televised debate ahead of the run—off vote on sunday, accusing each other of lying
7:17 am
as they attacked their rival�*s character and record on a range of issues. and those are complex and bitterly contested. deforestation and the treatment of brazil's indigenous communities, allegations of corruption and the way the pandemic was handled. the latest polls put lula in the lead but with the gap narrowing, there are still many brazilians who feel that neither contender represents them and they could be crucial in deciding who becomes president. all russell trott, bbc news. 717 this morning in case you're wondering about waking up and wondering about waking up and wondering what it is quite the clerks have gone back by in our overnight signalling the end of british summertime. the change also marks the completion of a restoration project on the clock in the houses of parliament, widely — but unofficially —

7:19 am
you at home, certainly felt that yesterday, in fact we had temperatures up to 23 degrees, or just shy of 23 in london, it was in fact the warmest october the 29th on record by quite some way, so really summery weather over the past few days particularly in the south, and today still is mild but not quite as mild as it has been over recent days, so you may notice that summertime has ended and we are feeling a bit more autumnal at the moment, and this is how we start the day, beautifulsunrise moment, and this is how we start the day, beautiful sunrise in that sunrise is coming in our earlier today compared to yesterday, so a fine start to the day for many but it will be quite unsettled, yes mild but a breezy day for all of us and of scattered showers and longest spells of rain. you can see this hook of cloud out of the north—west, thatis hook of cloud out of the north—west, that is an area of low pressure and trailing weather fronts and parts of the south—east, further fronts driving in heavy showers from the west as well. without area of low
7:20 am
pressure, that is helping to drag on these mild south—westerly winds that are still with us today. the, these mild south-westerly winds that are still with us today.— are still with us today. a breezy da , es are still with us today. a breezy day. yes we _ are still with us today. a breezy day, yes we have _ are still with us today. a breezy day, yes we have the _ are still with us today. a breezy day, yes we have the rain i are still with us today. a breezy i day, yes we have the rain creeping its way across the south—east of england and east anglia, slowly clearing towards the east, sunshine and showers most frequent for the north of wales, and they can be quite heavy and hungry at times, driven through on those brisk winds that could be gusting close to a0 or 50 mph is around exposed coasts and hills in the west. temperatures today still above average, 13— 70 degrees but for some of us that is about five or six degrees lower than yesterday, still feeling fine in the afternoon sunshine. most of the showers clear away into the evening hours are largely dry, still fairly breezy overnight and certainly frost free with those temperatures staying up free with those temperatures staying up at around 10—13 but could drop into single figures for some areas into single figures for some areas in the north and north—east. another front approaching from the west but
7:21 am
it's fairly slow—moving, high pressure sitting across the continent so yes some heavy rain arriving across parts of northern ireland, western scotland perhaps pushing into the far south—west of england but for the rest of england and wales, you are likely to stay dry through the day, 15— 18 degrees and if you are planning on taking the kids out trick—or—treating during monday evening then it should stay dry for the bulk of england and wales, perhaps the odd baby shower in the south and south—west but more rain for northern ireland and scotland by the time we get the tuesday there are plenty of weather fronts on the mat and light to make lots of isobars showing it will be quite a wet but windy day and we could see gales through the english channel, so rain clearing to leave heavy and potentially thundery showers on tuesday and temperatures between 11— 16 degrees, so that outlook for the weekend, more autumnal, quite unsettled, breezy at times, plenty of heavy showers and those temperatures will come down a lot over the next couple of days. of course because it has been so mild,
7:22 am
i have not support the heating on so far at all this year, it's been great. far at all this year, it's been reat. �* , , �* far at all this year, it's been treat. v , �* great. it's isn't it? the time will come... unsettling _ great. it's isn't it? the time will come... unsettling to _ great. it's isn't it? the time will come... unsettling to be - great. it's isn't it? the time will come... unsettling to be this i come... unsettling to be this unseasonably _ come... unsettling to be this unseasonably mild, - come... unsettling to be this unseasonably mild, but i come... unsettling to be this unseasonably mild, but goodj come... unsettling to be this i unseasonably mild, but good news come... unsettling to be this - unseasonably mild, but good news for bills. octopus energy has been given the green light to buy its rival, bulb, which has been propped up by the government since it collapsed last year. bulb was the biggest of more than 30 energy companies which folded last novemberfollowing rising gas and electricity prices. its 1.5 million customers will not see any change or disruption to energy supplies, and the transfer is expected to be completed by the end of november. we have been through an incredibly turbulent time in the uk energy market and bulb's customers have been looked after brilliantly by their staff, and the period of public ownership has cost taxpayers an awful lot of money and we have been able to draw that to an end and provide certainty to everyone. we'rejoined now by emily
7:23 am
seymour, energy editor at the consumer rights website, which? good morning to you. thank you for joining us. what does this mean for the energy sector and for customers and in particular bulb customers, is there anything they need to do? firstly, if you are a bulb customer, there is nothing you need to do at this point so both companies, octopus and bulb have made it really clear there is nothing that customers need to do, everything will be transferred across automatically, there is not a set date for that to happen but we believe it will be somewhere towards the end of november and everything will stay pretty much the same and if you are with bulb your accounts will stay as they are for now, you will stay as they are for now, you will still deal with bulb customer service staff because they are being capped in the business, so in the short term no, nothing will change, you don't need to do anything, and we always recommend that if your supply is being changed, you make sure that you take this to meeting
7:24 am
so you know when your account should be and make a record of how much credit is in your account, how much money you have got built up in your bulb credit account, and that will be transferred across automatically, but it is always worth just knowing exactly how much is there so you know what to expect when your new account is set up with octopus. under the steel octopus is understood to have paid the government between 100 and £200 million. they have agreed to share any profits with the cup to government for four years and it sounds like it is good value for money in terms of the public purse. what is the catch?— what is the catch? yeah, it certainly — what is the catch? yeah, it certainly sounds _ what is the catch? yeah, it certainly sounds as - what is the catch? yeah, it certainly sounds as though | what is the catch? yeah, it. certainly sounds as though it what is the catch? yeah, it - certainly sounds as though it is good that this has happened, as we said earlier, for the past year bulb has been propped up by the government that has cost the taxpayers a lot of money, so long—term it will be good for everybody to have octopus takeover,
7:25 am
and also to have the profit sharing agreement set up with the government at least for the next four years, i think they have said. the energy crisis is quite expensive for the government and taxpayers ultimately, so let's just hope that this does mean that it will cost less. wholesale gas prices have fallen recently. when i we as customers going to see that reflected in our bills? ., going to see that reflected in our bills? . �* , ., going to see that reflected in our bills? . �*, ., ., bills? yeah, it's hard to say, i probably _ bills? yeah, it's hard to say, i probably would _ bills? yeah, it's hard to say, i probably would not _ bills? yeah, it's hard to say, i probably would not hold - bills? yeah, it's hard to say, i probably would not hold my i bills? yeah, it's hard to say, i- probably would not hold my breath, the way the energy market works is your energy is kind of bought really long—term, so short—term changes to the prices don't really have an impact on domestic bills. we know when we get into april the energy price guarantee which is the government support scheme will be finishing and will probably, it will likely had back to something similar
7:26 am
to what the off term price was before, so i caused any changes to prices now that might be influencing the price of gas that we get into april, will be used by consumers but wejust don't april, will be used by consumers but we just don't know yet what exactly does prices will be when we get into this and we don't know what the support will be either, so i think we willjust have to wait and see unfortunately.— we willjust have to wait and see unfortunately. we willjust have to wait and see unfortunatel . ~ ~ . ~ ., unfortunately. when we think back to last ear unfortunately. when we think back to last year when _ unfortunately. when we think back to last year when a _ unfortunately. when we think back to last year when a lot _ unfortunately. when we think back to last year when a lot of _ unfortunately. when we think back to last year when a lot of the _ unfortunately. when we think back to last year when a lot of the other - last year when a lot of the other energy companies folded, the advice to consumers was do not switch, do not change because it would not necessarily be the best deal. just briefly, what is the advice to consumers now in that situation, if they are thinking is it time to switch? if they are thinking is it time to switch? , ., . they are thinking is it time to switch? ., , ,, ., switch? if you are in the process of bein: switch? if you are in the process of being transferred _ switch? if you are in the process of being transferred automatically, i switch? if you are in the process ofj being transferred automatically, so if you are a bulb customer currently they definitely do not try and switch because it can confuse the automatic transfer and can lead to errors if you are currently trying to do a manual switch when they are
7:27 am
trying to do an automatic switch, and seconded that there is not really the opportunities on the energy market to find deals around, i know that all bulb customers are currently on the same variable tariff, the price will be exactly the same almost everywhere you look, so i don't think it is really recommended to switch to be honest. thank you so much for your advice this morning. that is emily seymour from which? 727, another week, another prime minister, never acquired for you laura. certainly has not been — acquired for you laura. certainly has not been so _ acquired for you laura. certainly has not been so far! _ acquired for you laura. certainly has not been so far! good - acquired for you laura. certainly i has not been so far! good morning everybody, and remember it is not quite 730 and we are on at nine o'clock so if you have not put your clocks back yet do not adjust your stats, we are on bbc in an hour hour and a halfand it stats, we are on bbc in an hour hour and a half and it will be a busy so, we have a new government, not even a week old yet so this morning in the studio we will be asking the big
7:28 am
question, what kind of prime minister rishi sunak likely to be? we will put that question to the senior cabinet minister michael gove and i'm sure we will be talking about the spot of bother that the new home secretary has got herself into, i know you have been talking about that on the show already this morning, but there are questions about suellen's resignation and her performance on the job and the fact that she is back in the home office at all and leading the charge perhaps will be yvette cooper, the shadow home secretary who will be with us from the labor party, and if you feel like a spot of stardust on a sunday morning two hollywood megastars will be with us as well, the doctors david howard and zachary quint are both starring in a play about to open in london's west end, so, get the cattle on, get a coffee in your hand and we will see you at nine o'clock. we in your hand and we will see you at nine o'clock-— nine o'clock. we will see you then! i love a bit — nine o'clock. we will see you then! i love a bit of _ nine o'clock. we will see you then! i love a bit of stardust _ nine o'clock. we will see you then! i love a bit of stardust on - nine o'clock. we will see you then! i love a bit of stardust on a - nine o'clock. we will see you then! i love a bit of stardust on a sundayj i love a bit of stardust on a sunday morning. fix, i love a bit of stardust on a sunday morninu. �* . i love a bit of stardust on a sunday morninu. �* , ., ,., , ., morning. a bit of stardust and olitics morning. a bit of stardust and politics all _ morning. a bit of stardust and politics all rolled _ morning. a bit of stardust and politics all rolled in! _ morning. a bit of stardust and politics all rolled in! that's - morning. a bit of stardust and i politics all rolled in! that's where we say goodbye, follow us on the

7:32 am
sliding in before the break to show their style. after the re—start, the conditions improved but england's resolve stayed the same as they relentlessly demonstrated their superiority. not everything was perfect but it did not need to be. the world number ones barely made it into top gear. australia still amateur in status, simply could not keep up. all seven of england's tries came from forwards, with packer wrapping things up with her hat—trick. an impressive performance from the team and a memorable day for the captain. it has a week where i kind of put it to one side because the most important thing today was about the team's performance and us getting that win against australia to get into the semi—final. now that it has happened, i can maybe reflect a little bit, let it all soak in and just realise what it means. the red roses now cruise into the last four — that's their 29th consecutive wins. jo currie, bbc news.
7:33 am
it will be canada and the semifinals after they beat usa in the second game. there was heartbreak for scotland's men team against australia in their first autumn nations series match. they had a chance to win the game in the final seconds, but blair kinghorn missed this last—gasp penalty, which meant australia won byjust one point, 16 points to 15. scotland had been 15—6 up in that match at murrayfield. next up is fiji. to the rugby league world cup now, where england wracked up the second largest victory in tournament history, as they hammered greece 94—4 at bramall lane. they scored an incredible seventeen tries in total with dom young scoring four in the first half alone. marc sneyd scored 13 conversions on the way to the victory, but says they struggled to get any rhythm due to their constant scoring. not so good for scotland though,
7:34 am
they are out of the world cup after being beaten by fiji. they needed an improbable win by more than 65 points to stand any chance to reaching the quarter—finals but were beaten 30—14. the win means fiji are almost certain to qualify as group b runners—up behind australia, and play new zealand in the last eight. leeds stunned liverpool at anfield, with a late goal earning them the win and moving them out of the relegation zone. it's a first victory for leeds at anfield since 2001. 2—1 the final score, with this from crysencio summerville sending the leeds fans delirious in the away end. liverpool's unbeaten run at home in the league came to an end — 29 games without defeat prior to this. safe to say liverpool boss jurgen klopp wasn't pleased.
7:35 am
the first is unlucky but the second one cannot happen. but it happened so that is why we lose a game. maybe if we draw the game, we stand here, i think nobody is smiling in my face and saying, "a point against leeds" but i would easily take it because our situation is not easy and to fight through you need the little things as well. also unhappy, chelsea boss graham potter, as his return to brighton ended in a 4—1 defeat on the south coast. the hosts were 3—0 up at half time, when pascal gross rounded off a day to remember with their fourth in stoppage time. potter recieved a hostile reception with some booing from brighton fans before kick off. he was returning for the first time sincejoining chelsea in september but potter says he wasn't impacted by the atmosphere it is what it is. like i said, i have nothing to apologise for, nothing to say sorry for, i think i did a good job at the club and i think i left it in a good place, as you can see today. it's a good team, with a lot of good players and a lot of money in the bank, but people are entitled to their opinions. it took a late stoppage time winner for tottenham to see off bournemouth. antonio conte's side were 2—0 down but completed their comeback in added time with rodrigo bentancur scoring from that corner to make it 3—2.
7:36 am

7:42 am
4000 square kilometres, so we went from the marks of 20,000 square kilometres to 4000 square kilometres and that was one of the greatest achievement, one of the most efficient environmental policies in the world and we can expect that if luiz inacio lula da silva get elected, we going to see efficient environmental policies being implemented in the amazon again for controlling deforestation. the implemented in the amazon again for controlling deforestation.— controlling deforestation. the wwf contains every _ controlling deforestation. the wwf contains every minute _ controlling deforestation. the wwf contains every minute in _ controlling deforestation. the wwf contains every minute in the i controlling deforestation. the wwf i contains every minute in the amazon and area roughly the size of five football fields is cut down. this

7:45 am
across all four nations, temperatures in the high teens for wales, northern ireland and scotland as well as down towards the south—east of england so unusually warm weather, those temperatures creeping up over recent days. but as reddish summertime ends, things will turn cooler as we head to the next couple of days, so this picture comes from one of our weather watchers today, not far from where we had those high temperatures, more cloud around, a great start the day and through the course of the day it will be another mail today, not as warm as it has been recently but still above average, a breezy feeling day for many of us and a mix of some sunshine but plenty of scattered showers or longer spells of rain for some of us to come as a mix of some sunshine but plenty of scattered showers or longer spells of rain for some of us too, so low pressure still of cloud here on the satellite image, the low pressure setting weather fronts driving out there, so it will be a breezy sort of day with some showers but we
7:46 am
still have the winds coming in from the south—west direction, so the orange and yellow colours still showing the mild hermas, the rain pushing across the south—east of england, east anglia as well, clearing eastward through the day and for the rest of the uk, sunshine and for the rest of the uk, sunshine and scattered showers, into central scotland as well that we are likely to see some thunderstorms and perhaps some hail extent as well. wind gusts could reach very high exposure but it will be breezy wherever you are and those temperatures today between about 13— 17 degrees so not as warm as the 23 we had yesterday but still feeling plenty warm in that sunshine. overnight though showers will ease away to the north and east so dry after a time tonight, still a breeze and mailed out to keep things frost free, just about dipping into single figures, but for most of us it is staying around the 10— 30 degrees to kick off monday morning, and the weather front tries to move in from
7:47 am
the west and you can see it here and this will bring ranger northern ireland, northern western scotland through the day, the bulk of england and wales will stay dry perhaps a few showers creeping ahead of that rain band, temperatures again up to about 80 degrees towards the south—east but typically looking at the mid— high teens the most of us and it is halloween so if you are heading out trick—or—treating, a lot of dry weather for much of england and wales, perhaps a few heavy showers but rain for parts of northern ireland and scotland into the evening so you may want to bring an umbrella with you. into the evening so you may want to bring an umbrella with you.— an umbrella with you. into tuesday it is looking — an umbrella with you. into tuesday it is looking fairly _ an umbrella with you. into tuesday it is looking fairly unsettled, i an umbrella with you. into tuesday it is looking fairly unsettled, lowi it is looking fairly unsettled, low pressure moving its way eastward, bringing some fairly persistent rain in the morning, and some of those showers in the south—west could be heavy and thundery with gales developing through the english channel, so it will feel very unsettled through the day on tuesday, wendy, heavy rains and thunderstorms around as well, some dry weather to the course of this week particularly in the south during wednesday, a small area of high pressure but really it is an

7:49 am
on the same crash test dummies that we used in the 1980s, and they were based on the male form. but now a team of engineers in sweden are in the final stages of developing the first average female crash test dummy. so what happens to a woman's body during a crash? shiona mccallum has been to linkoping in sweden to find out. when you think of car crashes, you probably think of something like this. but rear impacts, being hit from behind, are also happening every day on our roads. it might look gentler, but these kinds of collisions can leave people with debilitating injuries like whiplash. crash test dummies are used to test how well car safety features protect people against injury, but not everyone is equally protected. women are three times more likely
7:50 am
to suffer whiplash than men if they're in a car that's hit from behind, and although whiplash is not usually fatal, it can cause serious and permanent disabilities. we stopped at a zebra crossing. sarah's car was hit from behind last month. there was a big bang and a little little car had been shunted into the back of me by a transit van. it was a really big shock at the time and my daughter was absolutely crying her eyes out. her neck was hurting, and she said her back as well. got a stiff neck and shoulders, i'm having to take medication for that, and both of us are due to see a physio shortly. the anxiety of, are you going to be able to do yourjob or not because of your aches and pains, yeah, it is amazing howjust a bump, a shunt from behind, can impact your life. some scientists say more representative crash test dummies the anxiety of, are you going to be able to do yourjob or not because of your aches and pains, yeah, it is amazing howjust a bump,
7:51 am
a shunt from behind, can impact your life. some scientists say more representative crash test dummies are an important step in improving car safety. engineers here in sweden have been busy working on the first crash test dummy that represents the average woman. dr astrid linder is leading the research. in order to ensure that you identify the seats that have the best protection for both part of the population, you definitely need to have the part of the population at highest risk represented. currently the industry predominantly uses average male dummies in car safety tests, although there are a number of dummies with different weights, ages and sizes. the crucial point, though — the average female is not represented.
7:52 am
you can assess how it interacts with the seat during the crash and also how well it protects the occupant, and what is unique about this occupant here is that she is the model of an average female. dr linder�*s dummies are designed specifically to test how well cars protect people from injuries in low—impact rear collisions. she's 162cm tall and weighs 62kg. what you can see here, of course, is the soft part of the body. females are somewhat shorter and lighter than males, on average, and then we also have differences in muscle strength which plays a role in terms of how you respond to a crash. but then in addition, of course, when it comes to the interaction with the seat, we have differences in the shape of the torso and the centre of
7:53 am
gravity of our torso and the outline of our hips and pelvis. the engineers are performing tests on the dummy to see what happens to her in a simulated rear crash. alarm blares. so we've just seen the crash test. what are we now seeing on the screen? you see the relative motion of the torso and the head and the head interacting a bit with the head restraint. and you can see that this is a very low severity. it's 7km/hr, there would probably not be a scratch on your car if you were hit with this severity. no damages and so on. but you see the amount of motion that goes on in our body when we are impacted
7:54 am
in this severity. and you see that range, don't you, just from the way that the chin moves right back. you really only see that in slow motion. absolutely, it's over in 100 milliseconds. we contacted leading car manufacturers including ford, mercedes, toyota, nissan and audi. they acknowledge the work being done in sweden but they aren't currently required to use an average female dummy by industry regulators. the plans for dr linder�*s dummies will be made openly available next month. it's taken decades to get here but a crash test dummy representing the average female is close to becoming a reality, bringing with it hopes that women will one day be safer behind the wheel. the open water.

the last place you want to get into difficulties. last year, lifeguards from the royal national lifeboat institution rescued more than 3,000 swimmers in distress off the coast of the united kingdom. however, tragically, there were still over 100 accidental fatalities in coastal waters in 2021. but what if there was a way to get to swimmers even faster without lifeguards even having to set foot in the sea? well, here, in southern wales, a new solution is being trialled. it's an ip67 waterproof floater drone, so it can fly but it can also float on water. the camera is waterproof, everything about it is waterproof, it can fly in the rain, it can fly much higher wind speeds than a typical drone and it can sit on the water, float and take off again. but that's not all. this drone has a hidden feature that
7:56 am
is crucial in its mission to save lives, an ability to not only carry but to release. you've got the payload release mechanism, you can hook up a buoyancy aid to it and remotely release it out to sea. put that over your head, so put your arms through. and that's exactly what we've come to see in action today in a simulated rescue, with me as the willing guinea pig. there you go. and you are in! ok, this is cold. it's really cold and i've got to get into that. now there are, of course, situations where you wouldn't need the drone. for example, if i was close to the shore. in that case, lifeguards could just dive straight in and rescue me but out here, hundreds of metres from shore, and when every second counts, the drone can beat even the fastest of swimmers in a race. whoa, ok! i'm ready to be rescued right now!
7:57 am
the rescue drone can carry multiple types of buoyancy aids ranging from a tube buoy, like you see here, to one that instantly inflates upon hitting the water. we simulated the rescue because you need special permission to drop things out of the sky, and this expands with a carbon dioxide canister, much like you see in those fizzy drink machines. this is a flotation device, so it means i can hold
7:58 am
onto this until i'm rescued. now, safely back on dry—ish land, i wanted to find out more about the drive behind this project and whether this would lead to lifeguards being replaced by drones. technology is new to our industry and i think if people embrace it to support the lifeguards and lifesavers, it could be phenomenal. it's not there to replace people, that's really important. we need lifeguards, we need humans to do rescues, to resuscitate, to give cpr, first aid, all that kind of stuff when it goes horribly wrong. i think this will enhance traditional lifeguarding. i think we absolutely do need lifeguards and this technology will allow them to maybe do theirjob better because they have more visibility and they can get to places quicker. this life—saving system will be trialled early next year. at £900, the training doesn't come cheap but apparently it will be funded by the beach owner or manager. there's probably quite a few different use cases.
7:59 am
the drone obviously is great for dropping equipment, like you saw today, but it also has other opportunities, so it could be used to spot rip currents. and it's notjust how the drones can be used but the additional add—ons that can be plugged into them in the future. these range from high—resolution cameras for photography, thermal cameras, loudspeakers and even sonar. while this will be the first system of its kind in the uk, a similar system has been in place in the spanish city of valencia since 2016. and as you can see here, it's clearly proving it can save lives. that was lj in the water. yep! rather her than me. me too. that's it for the short cut of this week's click. the full—length show can be found on iplayer, and we should be back next week! thanks for watching. see you soon. bye— bye.

8:02 am
the scene after the deadly crush was shocking. not in view in these pictures, but elsewhere, there were rows of bodies. some were carried into ambulances. cpr was performed on those on the ground, but for so many, nothing could be done. officials said most victims were in their teens and 20s. these 21—year—olds watched emergency services treat many injured. they said the scene was like something out of a movie, that it was completely out of control. the crush happened as huge crowds, as many as 100,000, gathered for halloween. there were so many people to the point we were being crushed on the pavement, to the point where we had to spill onto the road where there were cars. no one really understood
8:03 am
what was going on, but there were already several police cars at the scene in front of itaewon station, and police standing on top of their police cars desperately trying to tell people to leave the area as soon as possible. reports say people surged into this narrow alley, which was packed. some have described a scramble to escape the suffocating crowd as people piled on top of one another. translation: the incident happened at large numbers of people fell down | during the halloween festival, which caused serious injuries. a makeshift morgue has now been set up close to the scene. there is now a green process of identifying the dead. there are so many victims. this is an area that is hugely popular, notjust with locals but foreigners too.
8:04 am
earlier, south korea's president visited the scene, and announced a period of national mourning. during his visit, he said his heart was heavy, adding that he felt responsible for people's lives in safety. world leaders have expressed theirshock, including prime minister rishi sunak, who said... "horrific news from seoul tonight. "all our thoughts are with those currently responding, and all south koreans at this very distressing time." exactly what caused the crush will be the focus of an investigation which has been started by south korea's president. right now, there is profound shock, distress and grief that a night of celebration ended with so many dead and injured. helena wilkinson, bbc news. earlier, we spoke to the telegraph's asia correspondent, nicola smith, whojoined us from seoul.

at the moment the police and authorities are still really trying to deal with the immediate aftermath of what happened last night. i'm currently at a centre just about ten minutes away from where the tragedy unfolded. it's where families and friends can come to report the missing and to find out if their relatives or their friends are tragically on the list of confirmed dead now. so people are coming here, we are seeing very distressing scenes of families weeping. we have had young foreigners coming here as well. there was a young australian who was here about an hour ago saying that he saw his friends killed in front of him. he was obviously devastated. so people havejust been pouring in over the past few hours. and that's the immediate focus at the moment, is to first of all identify the dead and inform the families.
8:06 am
because there were a lot of foreign students in the area at the time and there are families who have to be informed abroad. and there are still korean families who are desperately trying to find out what's happened to their loved ones. and certainly in the next few days there will be a lot of investigating about what caused this, whether it could have been prevented and what can be done to prevent it ever happening again in the future. the telegraph poles asia correspondent nicholas smith speaking to us earlier. reuters the news agency reporting that the death toll has now risen to 153, that is a reuters report and we will get confirmation, but it seems that the death toll has risen at that incident in south korea overnight. you are watching bbc breakfast. the time is coming up to seven minutes past eight. there are calls for an investigation into claims that the phone of former prime minister liz truss was hacked when she was foreign secretary. the mail on sunday says the stolen messages included private conversations with other foreign ministers about the war in ukraine. it's believed the hack

likely continue with grain exports, and this will have an impact on countries around the globe. this is one of the world's largest exporters of grain, and obviously the probability is that this is going to worsen a globalfood crisis. but russia says this is a response to what happened yesterday, it said ukraine carried out and massive attack on its black sea fleet, and moscow is saying that because of that, it can no longer guarantee the safety of cargo ships in the black sea. the authorities here in kyiv have dismissed this allegation. they say that this is a false pretext from moscow to abandon this deal, and we have heard officials in the last few days saying that for weeks moscow had deliberately delayed the passage of ships, president zelensky saying that there was a queue of more than 170 vessels waiting to cross the black sea, so the ukrainians have dismissed the allegations made by moscow, and this

minutes past eight. not past nine! here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. weirdly mild temperatures yesterday, but things are about to change? yes. temperatures yesterday, but things are about to change?— temperatures yesterday, but things are about to change? yes, that sums it u -. are about to change? yes, that sums it up- good — are about to change? yes, that sums it up. good morning _ are about to change? yes, that sums it up. good morning to _ are about to change? yes, that sums it up. good morning to you, - are about to change? yes, that sums it up. good morning to you, luxmy i it up. good morning to you, luxmy and roger, and due at home too. temperatures werejust and roger, and due at home too. temperatures were just sigh of 23 degrees yesterday in london, and we are not used to those kind of temperatures when we see autumnal colours on the trees. in suffolk we have got quite a cloud head introducing drizzly outbreaks, an unsettled picture and scattered showers, not as wild as the past few days, and it will be feeling increasingly breezy through the day. you can see on the satellite image this hook of cloud, and we have got several weather fronts rotating
8:15 am
around that, and we will bring outbreaks of showery rain at times, the isobars on the chart showing it will be quite blustery, but the wind still from a very mild direction, the southwest. we have some rain across the south—west and south—east up across the south—west and south—east up towards east anglia, gradually clearing towards the east, but the rest of the uk, some sunny spells but also plenty of scattered showers, and for wales and into northern england, they could be quite heavy and thundery at times too. blowing through quickly on these brisk winds, gusts reaching about 40 mph or even a bit stronger than that on exposed coasts in the west. temperatures 13—16 or 17 degrees or so, a good five or 6 degrees or so, a good five or 6 degrees cooler than yesterday in the south. most of these showers gradually ease away through the siemian tonight, most places looking dry, could be the odd misty patch developing the central parts of the uk, and again frost free and mild with those temperatures for most of us just about staying in double figures, couldjust us just about staying in double figures, could just drop into single figures. through the day tomorrow
8:16 am
you can see this band of rain approaching from the west, that is the next frontal system which will bring rain to northern ireland, northern and western scotland, perhaps later in the day for the isles of scilly and cornwall as well. most of the area staying dry, with sunny spells around on monday of temperatures 13—18 for most of us. if planning on heading out trick or monday evening for halloween, most of us looking dry across the bulk of england and wales, a few showers creeping into the south and south—west, but northern ireland and parts of western scotland seeing the arrival of that rain. into tuesday, lots of fronts you can see on my weather back, you have low pressure in charge, persistent rain to start the day which clears to the east for most of us, to be followed by plenty more heavy showers and thunderstorms blown in on those brisk winds. it really will be windy and unsettled, cooler and wetter by the town we get to tuesday, and that is going to be the theme through the week. it won't be raining all the time, but plenty
8:17 am
of showers on the outlook, could be some thunderstorms at times, dry weather through the middle of the week in the south, but the main thing is that it is going to be turning quite a lot cooler for all of us during the course of this week. it made my day that you approved of my summary at the beginning, thank you, sarah. badge of honour! could be a job for you in the weather department. it is 17 minutes past eight. when we think of homelessness we usually think of people living on the street — but thousands of families don't have a place to call home and are forced to live in hostels or sofa surf with friends and relatives. there's currently around 120,000 children living in temporary accommodation in england, according to government figures. nadine, leonie and andrea are among the hidden homeless. they've been speaking to emma baugh. it's quite horrible because they have had to move so much they have not had a home,
8:18 am
they have just had four walls. my five—year—old does not know what home is, so he was not even a year old when we were first evicted. and obviously since then we have been so far surfing, hotels, free accommodation. we don't know where we're going to up and when. i it's hard to think. i always multiply what i am feeling by ten times to understand how it must be affecting them. they are worried about what their peers would be thinking, how they look, how they are fitting in, i don't know how to put it into words exactly, exactly how is making me feel other than heartbreaking. right now everything is in boxes, literally all we have in this house are the essentials we need to get through daily, domestically.
8:19 am
we could be here for another two weeks, we don't know, so what's the point of me unpacking things if i'm just going to be told in a short while that you have to go again. i say to my kids, let's go on an adventure, we are moving and going out to another place, and i am trying to encourage them, not transmit the negative things. this moving from here to there is affecting and distracting the child from education, when they are thinking i will have to move again, i have to leave my friends behind, i have to do this, i am still living in the boxes, and i am leaving everything behind and the other house, the wardrobes, the beds had to be left in the other house. i find myself sometimes at my wits' end, struggling to keep the kids in some form of routine.
8:20 am
it's horrible, i sit there sometimes a thing as a mum, i should be able to have some consistency for them. i think they have lost a lot of schooling, six days this time and then every one of those days as a day that affects what they learn all the friendships they can make out school in those first few weeks or days ofjoining the new year, very important to young children. to keep going through this - constantly, every few months, every year, it does take its toll on you. these childrenjust have to, l they are expected to just get used to bouncing around, - and just accept that is their life. what i would like to see happen | is for something like this to be| bigger and to go nationwide, because i know it is notjustl in little pockets around i the country, it is throughout the whole country. we're joined now by polly neate, chief executive of the homeless charity,
8:21 am
shelter. as we mentioned at the start of that report, the image we often have homelessness people sleeping rough on the streets, but it is much broader an issue, isn't it? absolutely. so what sleeping is a very small proportion of total homelessness. it is difficult to say exactly how many people are sleeping rough, but around about 5000 on a given night. but there are 274,000 at least people are homeless, and at least 126,000 at least people are homeless, and at least126,000 of those are children. the impact on their lives, we are seeing it every day at shelter. parents making impossible choices between eating and paying the rent, which ultimately if you can't afford your rent, you will be evicted, and
8:22 am
then you are homeless. what is available for you? as your report showed, it is not adequate at all, especially for children. find showed, it is not adequate at all, especially for children.— showed, it is not adequate at all, especially for children. and we had an idea of the _ especially for children. and we had an idea of the impact _ especially for children. and we had an idea of the impact on _ especially for children. and we had an idea of the impact on children i an idea of the impact on children from some of the people we heard from some of the people we heard from in that report there, but polly, in your role, you must come across some really harrowing examples of the way it causes disruption to children's lives. interestingly, i heard only last week about a young boy with autism, a five—year—old, who was in temporary accommodation because his family were homeless and who were having to move for a period of many months. can you imagine the impact on that child with those needs, and the impact on his behaviour and on the impact on his behaviour and on the whole family was just appalling.
8:23 am
and it was so powerful in your film, the mum who was talking about how her children feel ashamed of where they're living. these places, bed and breakfast hostels, converted office blocks, it is literally wall—to—wall beds. you have a family of three, there is no room in a tiny little room they're living in for anything except mattresses, and children don't want to bring their friends home to that environment, they don't even want to talk about it, and it impacts their education. and a much wider effect beyond the homelessness itself. so what is the advice for families who are worried about not being able to make ends meet, pay the rent, who might find themselves in that situation? what is the best thing for them to do? we can is the best thing for them to do? - can help. we are sometimes able to help keep families in their homes, help keep families in their homes, help people manage their debt. for
8:24 am
example, the most important thing is if you're really worried that you can't afford to rent, contact shelter as soon as possible, don't wait until that eviction notice has landed on the doormat. this is a problem, it is going to get way worse. at the centre of our cost of living crisis is a cost of housing crisis. people simply cannot afford to stay in their homes this winter. this is going to be happening to more and more people. the government is going to have to step in and do something, like they did in the pandemic. they need to make sure they protect rents for the families were struggling. they protect rents for the families were struggling-— they protect rents for the families were struggling. thank you so much for our were struggling. thank you so much for your time _ were struggling. thank you so much for your time and _ were struggling. thank you so much for your time and for _ were struggling. thank you so much for your time and for speaking i were struggling. thank you so much for your time and for speaking to i were struggling. thank you so much for your time and for speaking to us | for your time and for speaking to us this morning, polly neate, chief executive of shelter. the department for levelling up, housing and communities says "we are investing £2 billion over three years so we can end rough sleeping and prevent homelessness. "more than half a million households
8:25 am
have been prevented from becoming homeless since 2018." it is 825 now. it's the size of a football, it was discovered in a place called "buggingham palace" and is deemed so precious that it has to be kept in a cage. any ideas? well, i'm talking about a mushroom. collectors claim the �*bearded tooth' fungi — which has been found in cornwall — could also help treat dementia and cancer. we can talk now to alasdair moore from the lost gardens of heligan. that is where the fungus was found. just describe it for us, if you could. ., , just describe it for us, if you could. .,, , . could. the most beautiful description _ could. the most beautiful description i _ could. the most beautiful description i have - could. the most beautiful description i have heard i could. the most beautiful| description i have heard of could. the most beautiful i description i have heard of it is could. the most beautiful - description i have heard of it is as a sort of frozen alpine waterfall. this one is about the size of half a football, i would say, and its fruiting bodies are these beautiful five centimetre long tendrils, they
8:26 am
give that frozen waterfall effect. it has got another common name which is the lions main fungus, which again refers to these wonderful fruiting bodies. find again refers to these wonderful fruiting bodies.— again refers to these wonderful fruiting bodies. and 'ust describe, we are fruiting bodies. and 'ust describe, weareseeingh fruiting bodies. and just describe, we are seeing pictures _ fruiting bodies. and just describe, we are seeing pictures of - fruiting bodies. and just describe, we are seeing pictures of it i fruiting bodies. and just describe, we are seeing pictures of it now. i fruiting bodies. and just describe, | we are seeing pictures of it now. it is very striking. why have you had to build a cage around it? in is very striking. why have you had to build a cage around it?- to build a cage around it? in this count , to build a cage around it? in this country. it _ to build a cage around it? in this country. it is _ to build a cage around it? in this country, it is terribly _ to build a cage around it? in this country, it is terribly rare. i country, it is terribly rare. probably on any year you might find ten or 15 throughout the country. we are incredibly lucky to have two this year, and so the cage is really one of the really lucky things about this as it is right next to our play area where people can see it, because it is a thing of beauty, but it is also something that we need to protect because it is a schedule eight detected species, which means
8:27 am
were we to take it away and cook it, were we to take it away and cook it, we could get locked up for six months. so we are protecting the fungi from any enthusiastic young people with sticks, but also it is away highlighting quite how fragile these things are, and how fragile our ecosystem is. as these things are, and how fragile our ecosystem is.— these things are, and how fragile our ecosystem is. as we mentioned in the introduction, _ our ecosystem is. as we mentioned in the introduction, it _ our ecosystem is. as we mentioned in the introduction, it is _ our ecosystem is. as we mentioned in the introduction, it is said _ our ecosystem is. as we mentioned in the introduction, it is said to - our ecosystem is. as we mentioned in the introduction, it is said to have i the introduction, it is said to have properties which help with dementia, which help with cancer. maybe there is an obvious answer to this, but it seems like an obvious question. why these things not being farmed, grown on a bigger scale so that they can help with medicines?— on a bigger scale so that they can help with medicines? well, that is a big question. _ help with medicines? well, that is a big question, and _ help with medicines? well, that is a big question, and the _ help with medicines? well, that is a big question, and the answer i help with medicines? well, that is a big question, and the answer is i help with medicines? well, that is a j big question, and the answer is they are. the reason we're protecting this is because in the wild, they are very rare. but you can buy the
8:28 am
mycelium in little plugs and plug them into an old beach trunk, or a bit of oak and grow them yourselves. but in the wild, in their natural habitat, they are incredibly rare. thank you for answering that and putting me straight. slightly at a tangent, this is grown in this place. i'm sure i remember doing this interview on breakfast when you set up "buggingham palace", i think. what is buggingham palace, and why is it so important? it is what is buggingham palace, and why is it so important?— is it so important? it is very exciting- — is it so important? it is very exciting. buggingham i is it so important? it is very | exciting. buggingham palace is it so important? it is very i exciting. buggingham palace is is it so important? it is very - exciting. buggingham palace is the largest insect hotel in the world at 200 cubic metres, and it opened less than a yearago, 200 cubic metres, and it opened less than a year ago, i do not only have we got two incredibly rare fungi, we
8:29 am
have also got a species of beetle that has previously never been recorded in cornwall already as well as another 40 species of beetle. we've got wasps, we've got bees. it has already become such a home for biodiversity, and if ever there was a lesson about changing our ascetics, a bit of mess, a few logs, some straw knocking about, it is the perfect home for our insects and our pollinators, who are all crucial to our survival. to pollinators, who are all crucial to our survival-— our survival. to your as he has in for it is fizzing _ our survival. to your as he has in for it is fizzing through _ our survival. to your as he has in for it is fizzing through the i for it is fizzing through the screen. i'm sure a few people who can recognise their own gardens and that description, especially at this time of year with the amount of leaves lying all over the place. just a final thought, what happens
8:30 am
to the fungus now? what is its life span, how does it evolve from here? it is an interesting question. it is fruiting now, so it will be sending out thousands of thousands of spores, and then the fruiting body, the bit that is a mushroom, will disappear, but remaining in the trunk are the mycelium, so it may fruit again next year, or interiors orfive years, or fruit again next year, or interiors or five years, or not at all. but what we are going to do is bring in more and more logs so that as it sends out its spores, we will get more and more places for the spores to grow into fully fledged fungi, so what we are hoping years we will end “p what we are hoping years we will end up beautiful lines main garden running along the perimeter of our wonderful buggingham palace. you
8:31 am
will need a bigger cage! thank you so much for talking to us, absolutely fascinating. we are very grateful to you. i'v e i've never known anyone speaks so excitedly and enthusiastically about fun guy. it is very beautiful. size of half a football, i don't know, it is a bit spooky. we are passionate about what we do and we have 28.5 more minutes of it to do. stay with us, plenty more still to come on breakfast.
8:32 am
8:33 am
mushrooms. there seems to be a gender divide because a lot of the men found that exciting. alistair was excited but a lot of us women here, for some reason found it gross. you agree with me, sarah. something about it. didn't deserve any acknowledge meant. england are through to the semi—finals of the rugby world cup, where they will meet canada, after a comprehensive win over australia. 41—5, the final score on a very wet day in auckland, that also saw captain hunter make history — the 37—year—old became england's most capped player and also the most capped
8:34 am
international player — with this her 138th appearance. the most important thing today was about the team's performance and is getting that win against australia to get into the semifinal. and i have had the most amazing messages, so much love and support from friends, family, past team—mates, like rugby greats and it all really humbling and ifeel very grateful to have that and i've got a lot of messages now to reply to. but i think now that it's happened i can reflect a little bit, let it all soak in and just realise what it means. a landmark too at the rugby league world cup, as england wracked up the second largest victory in tournament history. they hammered greece 94—4 at bramall lane. they scored an incredible 17 tries in total with dom young scoring four in the first half alone. marc sneyd scored 13 conversions on the way to the victory.
8:35 am
leeds stunned liverpool at anfield, with a late goal earning them the win and moving them out of the relegation zone. it's a first victory for leeds at anfield since 2001. 2—1 the final score, with this from crysencio summerville sending the leeds fans delirious in the away end. liverpool's unbeaten run at home in the league came to an end — 29 games without defeat prior to this. safe to say liverpool boss jurgen klopp wasn't pleased. the first is unlucky, but the second one cannot happen. but it happened. so that's why we lose the game. we draw the game and stand here, i think nobody is smiling in my face and saying, yeah, a point against leeds. but i would have easily taken it because our situation is not easy and to fight through you need the little things as well. also unhappy, chelsea boss graham potter, as his return to brighton ended in a 4—1 defeat on the south coast.
8:36 am
the hosts were 3—0 up at half time, when pascal gross rounded off a day to remember with their fourth in stoppage time. potter received a hostile reception with some booing from brighton fans before kick off. he was returning for the first time sincejoining chelsea in september. it took a late stoppage time winnerfor tottenham to see off bournemouth. antonio conte's side were 2—0 down but completed their comeback in added time with rodrigo bentancur scoring from that corner to make it 3—2. the spurs boss praised his side's never say die attitude after the game. but it's manchester city who ended the day top of the premier league an outstanding free kick from kevin de bruyne was enough to send the champions back to the summit of the table. but arsenal can retake their lead if they beat nottingham forest later today. and newcastle beat aston villa 4—0. max verstappen will start on pole for today's mexico grand prix. the world champion heat off competition from the mercedes

pair of george russell and lewis hamilton, who will start just behind the dutchman on the grid in mexico city. england's inaugural men's netball team made history this morning, playing their first ever international match against australia in sydney. unfortunately, the game didn't go their way — they lost 73—27, but still a momentous day. we can cross now to england captain, james thomson—boston. lovely to have you with us on breakfast this morning. obviously the result didn't go your way, but what was it like in the arena, in the atmosphere playing the first test against australia? it the atmosphere playing the first test against australia?— test against australia? it was historic. you _ test against australia? it was historic. you said _ test against australia? it was historic. you said it _ test against australia? it was historic. you said it there, i test against australia? it was historic. you said it there, it | historic. you said it there, it wasn't the outcome we wanted, it wasn't the outcome we wanted, it wasn't the outcome we wanted, it wasn't the game we wanted to play for our own personal standards. but it wasn't about that. first time we have had an international match and
8:38 am
it was in an arena the size of the 02 it was in an arena the size of the o2 in london and it was fully packed by the fourth quarter. just the roar of the crowd behind you when you do something good, the adrenaline skyrockets. something good, the adrenaline skyrockets— skyrockets. england australia is alwa s a skyrockets. england australia is always a great _ skyrockets. england australia is always a great sporting - skyrockets. england australia is always a great sporting rivalry, | skyrockets. england australia is| always a great sporting rivalry, i can sense your accent, there is a little bit of australian in you as well, tell us about yourjourney little bit of australian in you as well, tell us about your journey to english netball? i well, tell us about your 'ourney to english netball?i well, tell us about your 'ourney to english netball?— english netball? i am originally from perth _ english netball? i am originally from perth in _ english netball? i am originally from perth in australia. - english netball? i am originally from perth in australia. that i english netball? i am originally. from perth in australia. that got confusing with scotland when i first moved across. i used to play in australia. when i moved to the north—east in newcastle, no one knew what to do with a guy who wanted to play netball. they kept saying basketball. i said play netball. they kept saying basketball. isaid no, definitely netball i swear there will be a mixed netball league somewhere. i eventuallyjoin one, and only when i moved to london did the men's team to show some prominence. we decided
8:39 am
maybe ten to 12 clubs and now we have a national team that sits along side the roses, the female team, one of the best in the well. we are here and i am lucky i was selected as captain. having an australian accent is a bit confusing but it is a bit of a mishmash now because i had to try and tone down the australian when i move to newcastle so people could understand me. you when i move to newcastle so people could understand me.— could understand me. you will have seen both sides _ could understand me. you will have seen both sides coming _ could understand me. you will have seen both sides coming from i seen both sides coming from australia, where it is biggerfor men. why do you think there is such a stigma here, why has it taken so long and you had the trials in march, this is the first men's netball team?— march, this is the first men's netball team? , , ., , ., netball team? yes, five year plan and we are _ netball team? yes, five year plan and we are pushing. _ netball team? yes, five year plan and we are pushing. but - netball team? yes, five year plan and we are pushing. but go i netball team? yes, five year plan and we are pushing. but go back| netball team? yes, five year plan i and we are pushing. but go back to the stigma, i don't really know. there seems to be something in the uk about people not being allowed to enjoy the sport they want to enjoy. you say you want to play netball and
8:40 am
people say, why do you want to do that? you should just enjoy the sport, if it is healthy and fun and brings you joy, you should be out and about doing it.— brings you joy, you should be out and about doing it. always a good messaue, and about doing it. always a good message. if— and about doing it. always a good message, if people _ and about doing it. always a good message, if people want - and about doing it. always a good message, if people want to i and about doing it. always a good message, if people want to take i and about doing it. always a good i message, if people want to take up the sport, how big is it here? it could be bigger. if you are watching this right now and you are thinking about giving apple a go, head onto the england netball website and type in where you are from and it will say here are some clubs and these may be just female clubs, if you are a female who wants to join, or they have a mixed club and it will get you contacted. ijust promised, i know there is stigma and people think it is a female sport, but it is so athletic and so fun and the netball community of one of the best in the world. netball community of one of the best in the world-— in the world. before we let you go, it is new zealand _ in the world. before we let you go, it is new zealand next _ in the world. before we let you go, it is new zealand next weekend. i in the world. before we let you go, i it is new zealand next weekend. how much will you take from these big tests from these big teams? me much will you take from these big tests from these big teams? we went out with this — tests from these big teams? we went out with this fun _ tests from these big teams? we went out with this fun knowing _ tests from these big teams? we went

8:42 am
oh james' traumatised all these years later. ohjames' friends in australia properly think he sounds english. i get that when i go home. thank you very much, sarah. the last flight has taken off from doncaster sheffield airport — after its owners announced plans to close it down in the coming days. peel group says the airport does not make enough money — despite pressure to keep it open. the decision has come as a blow to many local passengers. i'm disgusted, it's a waste of a good runway and a lot of people use it. the crew on our flight are on their penultimate flight and they were in tears. all our family and friends use this airport so i know how much - it's going to be missed. it's the opportunities the airport can bring and i don't think it's been fully explored to its absolute potential and i am sure there is plenty more things could be done. it's a joke, really. it is, it's not right good for the north is it? for us, we've got to go to leeds or manchester

8:46 am
has a fantastic set of facilities. we think in the right hands with the right investors, the airport can and should thrive. we have invested huge amount of money in the infrastructure around the airport, we think it has a bright future. the owners don't realise that opportunity and that is why we are looking for new investment. idelimit opportunity and that is why we are looking for new investment. what you think is stopping _ looking for new investment. what you think is stopping that? _ looking for new investment. what you think is stopping that? is _ looking for new investment. what you think is stopping that? is it _ think is stopping that? is it finding a way to attract the right numbers of passengers or its it some of the infrastructure you mention? it would have helped to have better infrastructure, we asked the government for support to put in an east coast main line extension a few years ago, but they did turn is down. we have asked for a free port, that was turned down, too. looking forward, what we think is we have the right investment and the right ownership, they can take advantage of those facilities. i would argue peel have not done a good enoughjob and the right thing for them to do

is hand it over to somebody who can. thank you so much forjoining us this morning to share your thoughts on that. here's with a look at this morning's weather. we have been talking about the fact it is mild. i havejust had a few days off and visited poland. long story, but it was mild there and they said quite often in the past they said quite often in the past they have had snow on the ground and everyone was still walking around in t—shirts, it was incredible. yes, it is eerily mild at the moment. we had the warmest october on record, and the temperatures have never been higher. we have broken the previous record by about 2 degrees. in london, 22.9 celsius yesterday, that was it kew gardens, the warmest spot. notjust yesterday, that was it kew gardens, the warmest spot. not just the yesterday, that was it kew gardens, the warmest spot. notjust the uk, really across central europe that those temperatures have been very,
8:48 am
very high for the time being. the warm spell we have seen, those very high temperatures will start to come down a little bit over the next few days. not as warm as a has—been but still above average by several degrees and slowly cooling down through the week ahead. this is the picture this morning and the shower clouds is starting to build up and we will see an unsettled picture, more heavy downpours for some of us through the course of the day. an unsettled story, mild and turning increasingly breezy and we will see scattered showers and longer spells of rain for some. down to the fact we have low pressure to the north—west, you can see this hook in the cloud showing where the low pressure is. we will see showers and weather fronts rotating around the low pressure, driving in from the south—west. the southwest is a mild direction so the winds will be bringing us mild air. but it is going to gradually turn cooler for
8:49 am
the first week of november. rain this morning across the south—east of england and east anglia. the area of england and east anglia. the area of rain clearing towards the east. sunshine returning in the afternoon. elsewhere, sunny spells, scattered heavy showers for wales, northern england and central scotland. they can be quite thundery at times, too. blowing through a gust of winds of “p blowing through a gust of winds of up to about 40 miles an hour and a bit strongerfor some in up to about 40 miles an hour and a bit stronger for some in the west. 13 to 17 degrees north to south. several degrees above average for the time of year but not as warm for the time of year but not as warm for the —— yesterday. dry for much of the —— yesterday. dry for much of the night but rain waiting in the wings trying to move in a monday morning. but again, temperatures nine to 13 degrees at the lowest for towns and cities. could drop into single figures in eastern scotland for tomorrow, single figures in eastern scotland fortomorrow, dry single figures in eastern scotland for tomorrow, dry weather and high pressure not far away. scotland and northern ireland see the weather from bringing rain and it could be
8:50 am
quite heavy at times, perhaps some thunder mixed in with it later on. down towards the far south—west later on showers creeping in. 18 degrees, feeling warm towards the south—east. if you are planning heading out trick or treating a monday evening, is the rain, south—west england, to northern england and into south—west scotland. tuesday, looks very unsettled and lots of weather fronts on the mat. more persistent rain slowly clearing eastwards to be followed by some really heavy and thundery downpours moving in from the south—west, affecting many areas. will be windy, gales through the english channel and temperatures down in recent days, 11 to 16 degrees. this is the first week of november, an unsettled picture so sunshine around, some heavy downpours at times, but what we will all notice is those temperatures will be coming down and pretty much aware that they should be for this time of year by the time we get to friday.

question for you, have you put your heating on yet? not recently, i might have put it on for an hour or not recently, i might have put it on foran hour orso not recently, i might have put it on for an hour or so early in the autumn, soi for an hour or so early in the autumn, so i cheated a bit, but certainly not recently. we will overlook that one, earlier in the autumn. thank you, sarah. i haven't switched mine on yet. i think lots of people have it for obvious reasons, holding out as long as possible. we have been able to because of the weird t—shirt weather we have had. when griff rhstones brought together famous friends like stephen fry and eddie izzard for a christmas variety show last year, it raised tens—of—thousands of pounds for children's hospices — and could have sold out three times over. well griff has decided to do the same again this year, and has convinced some of the biggest names in showbiz to take part — as richard daniel reports.
8:52 am
last year's each happy christmas spectacular. a sell—out, packed with some of the biggest names in showbiz. now it's back for a third year as griff rhstones once again cajoles friends to help him raise money for a cause close to his heart. i've gone back to some very, very old friends this year. i am excited they are coming. andy hamilton, who we all know wrote drop the dead donkey and appears on q1 and all that. so he is coming along. john culshaw, the amazing impressionist who leads dead ringers. we've got richard herring, a comedian i have always admired and found absolutely hilarious. phil and rory mcgrath coming back with death of country to sing more songs. each's three hospices, the tree house in ipswich, the nook near norwich and milton near cambridge cost £50 million a year to run. the nook near norwich and milton near cambridge cost £15 million a year to run. all provide vital support for families like the browns. luca's brother tom was cared for at the tree house where he died in early 2021.
8:53 am
we couldn't have cared for tom at home, end of life. i did want to do that but ijust never could have done that. i couldn't have done it, especially to this standard. it is so important to get that right because you don't get another chance. everything was taken care for us, so we could purely spend our time with tom. precious, precious last few days. tickets for this year's show at the regent theatre in ipswich on december the 5th are selling fast. shows like this are absolutelyl crucial for the care we are able to deliver for local families. and the first show raised 72,000, the second one 92,000. - we really hope we will beat the 100,000 this year — - and i think we will. you can't wait can you, really? no, i'm excited. it'll be excellent. will you dress up as father christmas again? i don't know, as you know i have made an entrance. i made an entrance on a gritter, which i was very proud, i was named grit rhstones... and i've made an entrance on a sleigh as father christmas and we are just trying to work out whether we can get a helicopter
