6:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. our headlines today... police officers with criminal records and links to organised crime. a damning report says hundreds of recruits are joining the force when they should have failed vetting procedures. going to "where the people are." former health secretary matt hancock defends his decision to appear on i'm a celebrity. counter terrorism police are investigating the bombing of a migrant processing centre in kent. who will have to take higher taxes? the government warns of even tougher times ahead — as it looks to plug
6:01 am
a £40 billlion hole in the national bank account. what might that mean for you? i'll take a look. in sport, tottenham's turnaround. how a european exit loomed before topping their table on a night of late drama in the champions league. good morning. a chilly but dry start for many in central and eastern areas. strengthening when in the west which will push it to all but the southeast with gales developing in some western areas. all the details throughout this morning's programme. it's wednesday, the 2nd of november. it's far too easy for the wrong people to join the police — that's the view of a senior inspector, whose damning report reveals that hundreds of officers in england and wales should have failed vetting checks. the watchdog's investigation also uncovered a culture of misogyny, sexism and predatory behaviour in some forces, as tom symonds reports.
6:02 am
in 2012, nicola brooks reported she was being abused and stalked online. an inspectorfrom sussex police handled her case, but he carried on visiting her even after his involvement ended. no—one questioned him, and he should never have been able to get to me in that period. an investigation found he abused his position to engineer a brief sexual relationship with nicola at a difficult point in her life. as my investigation proves, they target the most vulnerable women. and it's usually women like me. you know, domestic violence. serious, serious stalking, and nobody questions them because they are veteran experienced officers. the inspector was dismissed for misconduct. there were other women, too, but could vetting have rooted him out? today's highly critical report focuses on sexual and abusive behaviour.
6:03 am
the police watchdog examined 725 cases, where officers were vetted. in 131, the decision was questionable at best. about one in five of them is somebody we think either just shouldn't have joined, or if they were going to join, should have had some special controls put around them. i don't think it's being taken seriously enough. i don't think police leadership realises how important it is. i don't think police leaders realise the risk they carry by not having higher vetting standards, and therefore it's too easy for the wrong people to get in. with cuts in the past, and officers leaving, the police are struggling to find 50,000 new recruits. in one force, not the met, a chief constable accepted a candidate previously accused of sexual assaults to make theirforce�*s ranks more diverse. and after a group of officers were found to have shared offensive messages at this london police station, the concern was that bad attitudes develop
6:04 am
during a police career. vetting should happen every ten years. you are not going to change that culture overnight. they'll vet at the start of the careers. well, they say they do. you know, obviously. there's controls in place and there's vetting and screening, but there's clearly not any vetting going on throughout the officers�* careers, which is what i think is what needs to be done. in nicola's case, sussex police said... the murder of sarah everard by a serving police officer, and the damage it did to trust in the police, demonstrate what could be at stake. today's report makes 43 recommendations for improving vetting. tom symonds, bbc news. the former health secretary,
6:05 am
matt hancock, has defended his decision tojoin i'm a celebrity get me out of here. writing in the sun this morning, he said the show is an opportunity to talk directly to people who aren't always interested in politics. 0ur political correspondent, ben wright, is in westminster. morning to you. we know he has been suspended as a conservative mp. what are the reaction has there been? it is on the front of many of the newspapers this morning. the reaction has _ newspapers this morning. tue: reaction has been newspapers this morning. tte: reaction has been uniformly disparaging and negative. no one is waving him up with a cheery goodbye and a happy good luck. there is disgust around westminster that matt hancock has chosen to do this while parliament is sitting. some of the time that he is a way parliament is in recess. he could be in thejungle for three weeks which has passed the point when the government should put forward its massive statement on
6:06 am
november the 17th. forward its massive statement on novemberthe17th. 0ne forward its massive statement on november the 17th. 0ne tory mp said he was an absolute prat and he had the whip withdrawn. another said they expected mps to be focused on they expected mps to be focused on the requirements of constituents. there has been anger among his local party in suffolk he has chosen to do this. campaign groups representing families of those bereaved during the pandemic said they are pretty disgusted by his decision to go and do this. he has written in the sun today about his decision to go down under, saying he has not lost his marbles what had too many pina coladas. he is trying to connect with the voters and the public in a different way. whether this is the right way to go about that, lots of people here have doubts. matt hancock has never shied away from a camera or publicity. he must have felt his career in government was over. no sign of him getting a new job in government, so he decided to
6:07 am
branch off on a new direction. there will be many tory mps while not happy publicly, they will be tuning in to see him consume various delicacies over the next few weeks. thank you very much. counter—terrorism police are now leading the investigation into a firebomb attack at a dover immigration centre on sunday. several were thrown at the site by a man, who was laterfound dead. 0ur correspondent simonjones is in dover this morning. simon, what's the latest on this? the attack happened down there in the area of the port where migrants are brought after they are picked up in the channel. it was just after 11 o'clock in the morning. a man drove up o'clock in the morning. a man drove up in his car. he threw two, three petrol bombs. it was a terrifying experience for everyone. now it is being examined by counterterrorism
6:08 am
officers. that is after they searched the home of a suspect in high wycombe. they say they found a number of items of interest, including digital devices. in terms of the investigation, police say they believe the attack was targeted and it was driven by hate. afterwards, some 700 migrants had to be moved from the centre here to the one at manston, further adding to the problems of overcrowding at the site at manston. tell the problems of overcrowding at the site at manston.— site at manston. tell us about what is happening _ site at manston. tell us about what is happening at _ site at manston. tell us about what is happening at manston. _ site at manston. tell us about what is happening at manston. we - site at manston. tell us about what is happening at manston. we are i is happening at manston. we are hearing reports of major overcrowding. what more do you know? this site was designed to house around 1000 people, adjustable around 1000 people, adjustable around 2a hours. at the weekend, there were 4000 people around 24 hours. at the weekend, there were 4000 people there. serious overcrowding and concerns conditions. last night immigration minister robertjenrick said a large number of people had been moved from

the site yesterday. he said a substantial number would be moved from the site today that he did not give numbers. hundreds of people were moved out to hotels yesterday. we had been speaking to one person who was moved out of manston earlier this week. he said he spent more than three weeks there and said conditions were like a prison. t conditions were like a prison. i slept on the floor, a lot of people were _ slept on the floor, a lot of people were there. in one big tent there were _ were there. in one big tent there were maybe 100 people. it was cold. we cannot_ were maybe 100 people. it was cold. we cannot go to the toilet, take a shower. _ we cannot go to the toilet, take a shower, have a bath. we do not have any close _ shower, have a bath. we do not have an close. ,., shower, have a bath. we do not have an close. , any close. the government says it ho es any close. the government says it hepes there _ any close. the government says it hopes there will _ any close. the government says it hopes there will be _ any close. the government says it hopes there will be a _ any close. the government says it hopes there will be a significant i hopes there will be a significant reduction over the course of this week, as long as there is not a big influx of people crossing the channel by boat. therein lies the problem for ministers. they are very much reliant on the weather about how many people make the crossing.
6:10 am
when government policy is largely determined by weather, that is not a good look when you're trying to defend the borders.— long—awaited reports into the deaths of three teenage girls, who were in the care of a troubled mental health hospital are expected to be published later today. christie harnett, nadia sharif and emily moore died within an eight—month period having been treated by the tees, esk and wear valleys nhs trust for several years. 0ur north of england correspondent fiona trott spoke to christie's parents ahead of today's reports. and a warning, this film may be upsetting for some. # you can count on me like one, two, three.# the biggest smile. but behind the smile, christie harnett was suffering. she was different, for want of a better word. she'd hide under tables and throw stuff around the classroom. she was always horrible,
6:11 am
horrible, or... fantastic. after years of mental health issues, christie was admitted how it was there is more reminiscent of how the victorian institutions used to be. you know, having to clean the blood up off their own because they needed to learn that... mental health got worse. well, that was the role of the care quality commission.
6:12 am
and inspectors were there injune 2019. just days after this, christie harnett took her own life. it suspended admissions.
6:13 am
until then, her family hope today's report will give them some answers. we want everybody to see the truth. it's all well and good, us telling everybody and coming on camera and saying this is how she was treated. but i think until people see it in black and white... from an independent. ..from an independent thing, they're not going to really believe it. because... just to change. yeah. change the practice that so that the patients are at the centre of what's going on. fiona trott, bbc news, county durham. the former israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, is on course for victory in the country's elections. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knelljoins us now from jerusalem. morning to you. it would mark a pretty dramatic return to power, wouldn't it? when will we know the
6:14 am
definitive outcome? tt wouldn't it? when will we know the definitive outcome?— definitive outcome? it could be a few da s definitive outcome? it could be a few days before _ definitive outcome? it could be a few days before official _ definitive outcome? it could be a few days before official results i definitive outcome? it could be a l few days before official results are declared. the ballots are being counted. it gives a very good indication of where things are going. we know there has been a high turnout, more than 71% of voters. the exit polls from three israeli networks put benjamin netanyahu's party on track for a first—place finish with a quarter of parliamentary seats but more importantly puts his block, which includes an extreme right party and two 0rthodox includes an extreme right party and two orthodox jewish includes an extreme right party and two 0rthodoxjewish parties, it gives them the block backing netanyahu a real majority. that would be if it comes to pass a dramatic comeback for mr netanyahu, he was. 0ut dramatic comeback for mr netanyahu, he was. out of office last year. he told his supporters injerusalem a few hours ago he felt they were on the verge of a great victory. it would end this period of unprecedented political stalemate we
6:15 am
have had in israel, which has seen the country go to the polls five times in underfour years. whatever happens, what is the remarkable story of the elections, is the rise of the far right. this is the third party and has leaders known for their explicitly racist rhetoric against palestinians. isil big celebrations at their headquarters overnight. current caretaker prime minister is telling people to wait patiently for the final results. there are a cappella parties, —— there are a couple of parties watching with bated breath. thank ou. north korea has fired more than 10 missiles, including one that landed close to south korea's waters. the south korean military says one ballistic weapon flew across their maritime demarcation line for the first
6:16 am
time before landing in international waters. the latest launch came after pyongyang called for an end to current south korean and us airforce drills. defence officials in seoul said they'd launched three air to ground missiles in response. the ministry of defence has told bbc news it destroyed records belonging to service personnel, who were dismissed from the military for being gay. 0ne veterans organisation has said that "this may feel like a cover up" to many people. but the mod maintains it was under a legal duty to delete the documents. angus crawford reports. meet lance corporaljean mcdonald. proud of her service and the uniform. dismissed by the army in 1981 for being gay. all of a sudden, you've lost your full career, you've lost your friends, you've lost your accommodation, your whole way of life, and it was just full of shame. thousands of service personnel were dismissed for being homosexual until the year 2000 when the ban was finally lifted.
6:17 am
veterans have campaigned forjustice ever since. injanuary this year, the government set up an independent review to look into their treatment. jean mcdonald applied for her full—service record to share as evidence, only for the mod to reveal that all documents about the military police investigation into her had been destroyed. it's a mixture of feelings. again feeling that you're invisible. that you don't count. that the government, they don't care about what happened. and that in some ways they're just trying to sort of... we're a bit of hidden history. the ministry of defence told us the policy followed at the time was to remove references to these former offences and investigations from service records. there was a legal duty to ensure these records were erased. with no records,
6:18 am
what proof is there? another hurdle then for lgbt+ veterans seeking compensation for the harm they suffered. angus crawford, bbc news. royal mail workers are to hold a series of strikes around black friday and cyber monday at the end of november, which are traditionally the biggest online shopping days of the year. the communication workers union says unless the row about pay, jobs and conditions is resolved, more walkouts in the run up to christmas will be considered. a fugitive wallaby, which was seen hopping around gardens in gateshead for more than a week, has been caught. choppy — as he's been named — is now settling into a new home at northumberland college zoo. it's believed he escaped from a smallholding last month, and was captured by an animal rescue team and rehomed. his keeper says he's bounced back from his ordeal. choppy is doing really well.
6:19 am
since he's been with us saturday, you know, he's come round from his anesthesia really well, and he's responding to treatment. and every day he's getting more and more active and he's back to his normal, bouncy self. what was he doing all that time? write little trip. speaking of normal bouncy cells, let's talk to carol. ,., ., normal bouncy cells, let's talk to carol. , ., ., ., normal bouncy cells, let's talk to carol. ., , ., , carol. good morning. this morning is the auiet carol. good morning. this morning is the quiet before _ carol. good morning. this morning is the quiet before the _ carol. good morning. this morning is the quiet before the storm. - carol. good morning. this morning is the quiet before the storm. a - carol. good morning. this morning is the quiet before the storm. a more l the quiet before the storm. a more chilly start to the day then we have been used to. we have got wet weather coming in across northern ireland this morning accompanied by strengthening winds. we take a look at that in picture form. there are a few showers in the west and across the english channel. a lot of dry weather. incomes this rain. this

6:22 am
to receive his £84,000 salary. "king of the bungle" is the metro's headline about mr hancock. we will be discussing this in a little more detail in a moment. lots of mixed opinions about whether he should be doing out while trying to send his constituents. cherry have a look on the inside pages? i know this will be a subject very close to your heart. —— shall we have a look? ido like i do like the gym. the suggestion is lots people get up in the first thing they do is go to the gym and do exercise. those people are crazy etc if you're going to get up in is needed before breakfast is go to the gym. there is a metabolism
6:23 am
suggesting you might be better exercising later in a day because of the way it affects your blood sugar. it keeps blood sugar lower for longer. according to your metabolism if you exercise an evening rather than the morning, which is a good thing, particularly if you are on the verge of type two diabetes and are trying to lose weight. i do not think i am in a fit state for anything and i will not be going too many gems. no chance of us doing that. not even you would go to the gym before this shift. —— too many gymnasiums. there are 24—hour gems. when is the last time he has sent or received a fax? a long time ago. in bbc local radio as a child, many years ago. i was trying to negotiate how you did it, whether you put the thing in 30. then i wear squeaky noise it would make. it is to be no
6:24 am
more. —— a weird squeaky noise. the end of the line for a fax machine. the regulator said telecom spans no longer need to provide the technology which means you need to use a fax machine. apparently 800 are still being used by the nhs, of all things. i am assuming they are just sending stuff to each other, very difficult to send it to anyone else. i would very difficult to send it to anyone else. iwould hope very difficult to send it to anyone else. i would hope they have come up with an alternative. a fax machine is quite slow. if you can scan and e—mail, you would think that would be the quickest way to do it. the technology was discovered in 1843, even before alexander bell's telephone. definitely time to move on. 150 years later. we promise more chat about matt hancock and his decision to go into the jungle. what
6:25 am
do the people who actually vote for him and mps think about it? we sent jane mccubbin to chastity to find out. —— chester zoo. theme t0 i'm a celebrity get me out of here. deep in the jungle, not of australia... ..but of chester zoo. roar! there was shock. have you heard who the latest sign up is matt hancock? no. yes. really? yes. that's going to be interesting. yes. what do you think of that move? car crash. actually, two car crashes. 0n the streets of matt hancock's constituency town of haymarket, there was horror. i mean, it's ridiculous. you're joking. i think maybe he should stay in politics, and get the country right instead of going on tv. yesterday, matt hancock was unveiled as a contestant in i'm a celebrity
6:26 am
and was promptly suspended by his party for ditching parliament for prime time tv. some people thought it was hysterically funny that he was going to eat bugs and things in thejungle. some people were just, "oh, well, what do you expect?" and some people were really angry. some people were furious because we now don't have an mp. he isn't the first politician to take part in this programme, but he is the most senior. he has the biggest reputation. and with everything that's going on right now from the cost of living crisis to the covid inquiry, to a lot of people, this doesn't seem like entertainment. because for too many people, he was the health secretary who broke the very rules he set. but the first line of defence for everybody, no matter who you are, no matter how old you are, is to follow that social distancing. you asked about hugging people. when people have had both jabs, then it is...
6:27 am
that is pretty safe. howard crosier and femi akinola both died in the early days of the pandemic. their children believe this is a terrible misjudgment by matt hancock, and a terrible mistake by itv. well, i'm angry. the fact that he is as well known as he is is because of his response to the worst public health crisis in 100 years. i think it's absolutely disgusting, and i think itv should be ashamed of themselves as well. hundreds of thousands of people have died under his watch, and i think it trivialises that loss that we're going through. but there is very little shame when it comes to mps and reality tv. britain has a long tradition. # gangnam style!# some mps have come out
6:28 am
more unscathed than others. as a has—been, somebody who isjust earning a bob or two doing these celebrity shows. you know, i think we all in public life have an element of vanity. and my own case was a slightly unusual one because i was actually a serving member of the cabinet. and some of my colleagues really sniffed and thought this was appalling. but i think most of them were actually ratherjealous. ten! and i took it seriously with the training and got ten from len. so it worked out well. appearing on these reality shows isn't all bad. i mean, i did first dates. do i recognise you from somewhere? i like to tell people that i'm in home and away. the beach blonde, surfer bum. yeah, yeah, that's me. i think his constituents i needn't worry too much. i'm pretty sure that they'll be well looked after. - and you know what? if he is obnoxious, -
6:29 am
he could be back in a week! what is the betting he will end up doing lots of eating challenges? we will talk about that throughout the programme this morning. i am sure you have a view. let is now. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm thomas magill. the mother of a delivery driver, who died after being knocked off his moped during a car chase in brixton on sunday, has spoken of her loss. 23—year—old deliveroo driver guilherme da silva was caught up in a car chase, which resulted in the shooting of the rapper lamar scott, known as perm. speaking from brazil, mr da silva's mother says she went into despair after learning about her son's death. translation: i'm devastated. my heart is bleeding. _
6:30 am
he was a great son. _ always with a smile on his face. and i would never have expected something like this to happen. i i have no words to express how much i'm suffering. . a drunk driver has been jailed after he smashed his car into a pedicab in south london, killing a woman. sophie strickland died on new kent road injuly while she was visiting the capital to celebrate her birthday. the driver, luis fernando balcazar soto from elephant and castle, didn't have a licence and was twice over the drink—drive limit when he drove into the parked pedicab. the 24—year—old has been sentenced to nine years and nine months. southend's bid to become uk city of culture in 2029, is set to be ruled out at the first hurdle due to costs. the council's cabinet will decide if they will be making a bid at a cabinet meeting next week. southend's member for culture and tourism said the simple reality is that they cannot afford it. the science museum is opening a brand new free, interactive gallery for 11—16 year olds.
6:31 am
the exhibition is aimed at changing perceptions and inspiring tomorrow's technicians, by allowing to meet people doing the job. let's take a look at how the tube is running this morning. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. it is another blustery day of weather today across the capital, but this time we should stay dry until we get to the evening, when there will be some more heavy rain moving eastwards. but for this morning it is dry out there. a bit chillier than we have been used to of late too, with temperatures having dropped back into high single figures. lots of morning brightness and sunshine, but we will see more cloud seep eastwards in the second half of the day with the approaching weather front. temperatures are now more or less at the seasonal average, mid—teens in celsius. the wind will pick up through the afternoon, gusting as high as 40 to 45 mph, locally even higher.
6:32 am
then this evening and overnight our front sweeps eastwards, introducing outbreaks of rain, some of which will turn to be rather heavy. the front clears eastwards, but then it is likely to move back on itself into thursday morning. so, thursday morning looking rather wet, particularly towards eastern areas. we will see some brightness, possibly spells of sunshine by the time we get to the end of the day. windy and wet. at least the tube is running well. i'm back in half an hour. bye—bye. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. coming up on today's programme... trouble on the roads — we'll be looking at the long—running tensions
6:33 am
between motorists and cyclists. duggeeis duggee is waiting for some new friends to arrive. they have come from a country called ukraine. a special episode of children's favourite hey duggee will introduce some new ukrainian friends to viewers. we'll find out more from the programme's producer. and the tale of a hound underground — we'll show you how tia the dog was rescued after spending two days stuck in a pipe. there's a warning that we'll all have to pay more tax when the government unveils its plans for the economy later this month. nina's looking at this for us. lots of announcements. we don't have any details yet but what are we expecting? it feels like a long wait. we expected an announcement on monday, but then it was pushed back so the chancellor and the prime minister could be in sync. all eyes on that
6:34 am
plan on the 17th of november. it comes after a chaotic period for the economy. in september, liz truss and kwasi kwarteng's mini budget had some massive consequences. the value of the pound dropped, and the number of mortgage options reduced. all in all there is an estimated £40 billion black hole in public finances. that is the difference between how much is coming in and what's being spent. how to fill it? well, there's been lots of speculation about taxes going up. it's thought the chancellor isn't keen to increase the rate of basic income tax, vat or national insurance, as they would go against the conservative party's last election manifesto. instead they might freeze tax allowances and thresholds, meaning as wages go up, more people are paying more tax. if the gut chooses to freeze tax thresholds in that context, the fact you are getting paid more, even though you can't afford more, means you will still pay more in taxes. you mightjump up the tax bracket, for example. you might pay more
6:35 am
detail with an effective rise in vat or pay more to national insurance. freezing these thresholds is effectively a way for the chancellor and prime minister to raise taxes without saying they are raising taxes. so how else could the money be raised? 0il giants bp and shell have posted massive profits worth billions of pounds in the last week alone. and that's stoked arguments for a windfall tax, where firms are taxed on earnings they're not directly responsible for. in this case profiting from the huge spike in oil costs due to the conflict in ukraine. rishi sunak did introduce a type of windfall tax, known as the energy profit levy, when he was chancellor in may, and this is expected to generate 17 billion in its first two years. what about cutting spend? the chancellor has suggested that mice —— this might have to happen. but opposition party said public services cannot take any more cuts. whatever happens, there is a belief
6:36 am
that as hard as things are for many households now, things are about to get even tougher. it looks like 2023 is going to be another— it looks like 2023 is going to be another tough year for the british ecorwmy, — another tough year for the british economy, for british households. we've _ economy, for british households. we've got— economy, for british households. we've got slow growth, we've got price _ we've got slow growth, we've got price rises— we've got slow growth, we've got price rises faster than wage rises hitting _ price rises faster than wage rises hitting living standards, interest rates _ hitting living standards, interest rates rising, adding to mortgage hills, _ rates rising, adding to mortgage hills, and — rates rising, adding to mortgage bills, and now it looks like we are going _ bills, and now it looks like we are going to — bills, and now it looks like we are going to face quite broad based tax rises as_ going to face quite broad based tax rises as well, taking another bite out of— rises as well, taking another bite out of people's income. and that is perhaps what many of you are feeling. unsure about where your mortgage, your energy bills, the cost of your supermarket shop will be in the coming months. expect some clarity on november the 17th. some clarity on november the 17th. some clarity on november the 17th. some clarity on your tax, for example, possibly energy support next year. tomorrow, we get the bank of and's update on interest rates. but thinking about it, where does the government have to go? if it doesn't want to increase income tax and key pensions how they are, there is not much room for manoeuvre. all eyes on
6:37 am
westminster on the 17th. thank you. let's talk sport. john hasjoined us on thank you. let's talk sport. john has joined us on the sofa. drama! did you ever watch something and just think, there is no way there is going to be any other result apart from a loss or a defeat, which is how it was looking for tottenham last night in their final group how it was looking for tottenham last night in theirfinal group game in the champions league? they were terrible. they were absolutely awful, let's be honest! they were going out. and then suddenly, a completely different side of the second half and they go through. unbelievable. top of the group. let's not forget, their manager antonio conte was watching from the stands. he could not be hands—on. still, the team came through. the message got across somewhere. maybe did a jose mourinho and message got across somewhere. maybe did ajose mourinho and hid himself in a laundry basket and got in. good morning. yes, to coin a classic sporting cliche, it was a game of two halves. and it was, as tottenham looked for all the world like they were heading
6:38 am
out of the champions league, suddenly tottenham came from a goal down to turn their fortunes around. natalie pirks reports. in the hostile stade velodrome it was boom or bust for tottenham. in the tightest of groups, a draw would be enough, but spurs' away form in europe has been rocky, and the early warning signs were there. manager antonio conte could do little about marseille's lively start, banished to the stands after a red card last week. and he could only watch as a nasty clash for son saw tottenham's dazed star led prematurely down the tunnel. as their injuries piled up, so did their problems. spurs would be dumped into the europa league unless they got much better. 0ne leap could break hearts. but spurs held their nerve in the dying seconds to put the matter to bed. and tottenham are through! group d winners, the last 16 awaits. natalie perks, bbc news.

now let's not forget, liverpool's form has been patchy this season, but they'd already progressed in europe. their 2—0 win over napoli, not enough to seal top spot, and hand them an easier draw in the knockouts. they had a late goal as well. liverpool face spurs in the league next — an unwanted for rangers, finished with the worst group stage in league in this league in this time ue in this time to history, another loss, this time to ajax. they finished points ajax. they finished with zero points and —20 goal difference. not a and a —20 goal difference. not a great night for them. we said yesterday we would be able to talk about england beating brazil. well, we can. they did in the women's rugby league world cup. they won by 72—4.

6:42 am
starting to peak and get better as a team as well. and there was nothing to choose between the sides eventually, apart from maradona, and, you know, what happened, happened. we can't change it. one of the biggest — perhaps the biggest injustice in football. but, you know, everything's changed a lot now, and var and goal—line technologies, and all this kind of thing as well, so hopefully, that'll never happen again. we keep complaining about goal—line technology. we probably could have done it —— dumb then. 3 million. done it -- dumb then. 3 million.— done it -- dumb then. 3 million. ~ fl 3 million. where will it go? a museum? — 3 million. where will it go? a museum? possibly. - 3 million. where will it go? a museum? possibly. you - 3 million. where will it go? a. museum? possibly. you would 3 million. where will it go? a - museum? possibly. you would want something at that. it is such an historical moment in football history. infamous. and the shirt he wore that day went for 7 million. so you kind of think, the shirt and football combine, potentially £10 million. absolute must have collectors items. huge money. thank you. how much have we got?
6:43 am
not that much! nowhere near enough. you could have it one month, i got about the next month. we could rotate it. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. this morning it is a chillier start than we have been used to. but it is dry for many of us. some sunshine around first thing. however, in the west we are already seeing the clouds gathering. the rain starting to come in and the wind is also going to strengthen. the wind is going to be a feature of the weather today. to give you an idea of the kind of wind gusts we are looking at, these are the strengths. towards the west with exposure, we will have gales, even severe gales. even in land, especially across northern england, gusts of 40 to 45 mph, possibly more. if you are travelling, there
6:44 am
may well be some disruption. take extra care if you are in a light or high sided vehicle, or a bicycle. low pressure is coming our way. this is what is bringing all of this wet and windy weather. you can see how windy it is going to be. the rain now starting to show its hand across western parts of northern ireland. thundery showers and western areas. a few showers in the english channel. after a bright or sunny start, the cloud is 90 building from the west. as the weather front carrying all this rain arrives. the rain will be heavy at times. you could hear the odd rumble of thunder in northern ireland and western scotland. squally winds around. temperature —wise, 11 to 16 degrees. through the afternoon these are the kind of wind gusts you can expect. some of them will be higher than this. as we head on through the course of the overnight period, eventually the rain pushes into the south—east. behind it there will be
6:45 am
some clear skies. they will also be a few showers. it would be windy at the far north of scotland. into tomorrow, that is the picture. the rain takes time to clear. it pushes further northward and eastward. behind that, a mixture of sunshine and showers. for most it will not be as windy yesterday, except for the far north, where it will remain windy. when he too at the south—west, where we have further showers. into friday, high pressure bills. a lot of dry weather. some showers in the west. the winds much lighter. more blustery than windy, if anything. a temperature range of ten in the north to 14 as we swoop down towards the south. average temperatures at this time of the year are roughly that. we are getting closer to where we should be. as we head into saturday. rain in the west. that will push east through the day followed by blustery showers. and then on sunday,
6:46 am
eventually we see the rain completely clear the south—east. it is going to be another blustery day and another one of sunshine and showers. so the weather for the next few days is certainly very changeable and very few days is certainly very changeable and very mixed. you will keep us posted. thank you. there are thousands of ukrainian children living in the uk, who are trying to settle into new communities, new schools and new homes. to help them feel welcome, the bbc children's tv series — hey duggee — is adding some characters they may well recognise. let's take a look. duggee, what you doing? duggee's waiting for some new friends to arrive. they've come from a country called ukraine. lively music plays.

6:53 am
major rescue operation, as philip norton reports. just before sunday lunch, i was walking down this public footpath. my little terrier, tia, chased a rabbit, and i walk up and think, oh, well, where's she gone, where's she gone? then i seen that pipe and i thought, oh no. and i shot down there, put my head in the pipe and i could hear her. she wouldn't come back because the pipe's that tight she can't turn round. it was the start of a two—day ordeal for a much loved family pet, trapped almost 150 metres along a pipe underneath a field. this pipe runs from this ditch all the way past the barns. i hold my hands up to the fire brigade, they come. four appliances come to try and help me, and they've tried with everything they could, but unfortunately, the pipe was too long for the equipment they had. i went home and i was just thinking, what can i do, what can i do? with hours turning into days, his daughter's friend suggested these guys.
6:54 am
this is a remote control camera. we send this down into the drainage systems to look for, essentially cracks in pipes. they were looking for tia. quite tricky, to be fair. - so we got stuck at 111 metres. so then, dug up that bit of pipe, took- lthe top section of pipe out, moved| the fan up to there, put the camera back in through the hole. so it was around - about 140 metres up. you canjust about see over the top that little black shape, _ which obviously we were hoping was the dog. - another company sent a digger, and the rescue began. so, then we just dug the top of the pipe off, dug down the sides of it, took a little section out, put the camera back down. it got stuck again. so we had to do the same again. but this time, when we took it off, we looked down the pipe and we could see the dog. so we dug a bit further, pulled some our pipe off, and we got her out. come on. good girl, come on. come on, lass. yeah! yes!
6:55 am
i was ecstatic. i couldn't believe that she was still alive and we was getting her out. yeah, when i seen him pulling her out by the back legs and she's wriggling, trying to get back in, then, yeah, it's a good feeling, isn't it? brilliant, . it weren't even my dog and it was a bit emotional! amazing feeling. oh, i can't thank these lads enough. clearway, megaplant, dan our kid. as for tia, she's had a warm bath, and is safe and well back home. hey, you're a good girl, aren't you? back home? a lesson learnt — there's no more chasing rabbits. phillip norton, bbc news, swine, near hull. look at those ears! no more chasing rabbits. there's a lesson. nice few minutes. hey duggee and the dog. plenty more coming up. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill. the mother of a delivery driver, who died after being knocked off his moped during a car chase in brixton on sunday, has spoken of her loss. 23—year—old deliveroo driver guilherme da silva was caught up in a car chase, which resulted in the shooting of the rapper lamar scott, known as perm. speaking from brazil, mr da silva's mother says she "went into despair" after learning about her son's death. translation: i'm devastated. my heart is bleeding. _ he was a great son. _ always with a smile on his face. and i would never have expected something like this to happen. i i have no words to express how much i'm suffering. . southend's bid to become uk city of culture in 2029 is set to be ruled out at the first hurdel due to costs. the council's cabinet will decide if they will be making a bid at a cabinet meeting next week. southend's member for culture

and tourism said the simple reality is that they cannot afford it. the science museum is opening a brand new, free, interactive gallery for 11—16 year olds. the exhibition is aimed at changing perceptions, and inspiring tomorrow's technicians, by allowing visitors to meet people doing the job. whilst much of the arts was hit badly by covid, the animation sector in london is said to be thriving. 0ne success story is the production of moley, a children's tv series about a little mole who lives under windsor castle. the hollywood actor who voices one of the main characters say working on animations is hugely enjoyable. i love doing the voiceover stuff. it's a gas. like you say, you know, it's not the opposite of acting. it's almost better than acting in a movie, because you can be more playful, i think, in a lot of ways. you don't have to wait around on sets for extended periods of time. if you're working with people like this, it's really fun and imaginative. let's take a look at how the tube
6:58 am
is running this morning. and look at that! a good service on all lines. now on to the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. it is another blustery day of weather today across the capital, but this time we should stay dry until we get to the evening, when there will be some more heavy rain moving eastwards. but for this morning it is dry out there. a bit chillier than we have been used to of late too, with temperatures having dropped back into high single figures. lots of morning brightness and sunshine, but we will see more cloud seep eastwards in the second half of the day with the approaching weather front. temperatures are now more or less at the seasonal average, mid—teens in celsius. the wind will pick up through the afternoon, gusting as high as 40 to 45 mph, locally even higher. then this evening and overnight our front sweeps eastwards, introducing outbreaks of rain, some of which will turn to be rather heavy. the front clears eastwards, but then it is likely to move back on itself into thursday morning. so, thursday morning looking rather wet,
6:59 am
particularly towards eastern areas. we will see some brightness, possibly spells of sunshine by the time we get to the end of the day. that's it from me. much more on the bbc website, our facebook and instagram platforms. for now, it's back to ben and sally on breakfast.
7:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today... police officers with criminal records and links to organised crime. a damning report says hundreds of recruits are joining the force when they should have failed vetting procedures. going to "where the people are". former health secretary matt hancock defends his decision to appear on i'm a celebrity. counter terrorism police are investigating the fire—bombing of a migrant processing centre in kent. cyclists call for britain's roads to be made safer, as a survey finds a quarter of motorists admit driving dangerously close to bikes. in sport. tottenham's turnaround. how a european exit loomed before topping their table on a night of late drama in the champions league. good morning. actually start to the day but try and find for most of us. rain and strengthening winds in the
7:01 am
west will push south and east through the day. gales with exposure, even severe gales. all the details throughout the morning. it's wednesday, the 2nd of november. it's far too easy for the wrong people to join the police — that's the view of a senior inspector whose damning report reveals that hundreds of officers in england and wales should have failed vetting checks. the watchdog's investigation also uncovered a culture of misogyny, sexism and predatory behaviour in some forces, as tom symonds reports. in 2012, nicola brooks reported she was being abused and stalked online. an inspectorfrom sussex police handled her case, but he carried on visiting her even after his involvement ended. no—one questioned him, and he should never have been able to get to me in that period. an investigation found he abused his position to engineer a brief sexual relationship with nicola at a difficult point in her life.
7:02 am
as my investigation proves, they target the most vulnerable women. and it's usually women like me. you know, domestic violence. serious, serious stalking, and nobody questions them because they are veteran experienced officers. the inspector was dismissed for misconduct. there were other women, too, but could vetting have rooted him out? today's highly critical report focuses on sexual and abusive behaviour. the police watchdog examined 725 cases, where officers were vetted. in 131, the decision was questionable at best. about one in five of them is somebody we think eitherjust shouldn't havejoined, or if they were going to join, should have had some special controls put around them. i don't think it's being taken seriously enough. i don't think police leadership realises how important it is. i don't think police leaders realise
7:03 am
the risk they carry by not having higher vetting standards, and therefore its too easy for the wrong people to get in. with cuts in the past, and officers leaving, the police are struggling to find 50,000 new recruits. in one force, not the met, a chief constable accepted a candidate previously accused of sexual assaults to make theirforce's ranks more diverse. and after a group of officers were found to have shared offensive messages at this london police station, the concern was that bad attitudes develop during a police career. vetting should happen every ten years. you are not going to change that culture overnight. they'll vet at the start of the careers. well, they say they do. you know, obviously. there's controls in place and there's vetting and screening, but there's clearly not any vetting going on throughout the officers' careers, which is what i think is what needs to be done. in nicola's case,
7:04 am
sussex police said... the murder of sarah everard by a serving police officer, and the damage it did to trust in the police, demonstrate what could be at stake. today's report makes 43 recommendations for improving vetting. tom symonds, bbc news. the former health secretary, matt hancock, has defended his decision tojoin i'm a celebrity get me out of here. writing in the sun this morning, he said the show is an opportunity to talk directly to people who aren't always interested in politics. 0ur political correspondent, ben wright, is in westminster. ben, what sort of reaction has there been? within westminster, sally, wholly negative i would say. one tory mp

# you can count on me like one, two, three.# singing constantly and dancing around the rooms all the time. and the smile. yeah. the biggest smile. every time, wasn't it? but behind the smile, christie harnett was suffering. she was different, for want of a better word. she'd hide under tables and throw stuff around the classroom. she was always horrible, horrible, or... fantastic. overly excitable and overly fantastic. after years of mental health issues, christie was admitted to west lane hospital with anorexia. how it was there is more reminiscent of how the victorian institutions used to be. yeah. you know, having to clean the blood up off their own walls from head banging. part of their policy was that the kids had to clean it up because they needed to learn that... to manage their illness. to manage their illness, yeah.
7:11 am
i remember telling her. "if you tell them everything that's going on in your head, they'll help you." yeah. "and you'll be able to live your life." but while christie was here, the family believe her mental health got worse. they say she was unlawfully strip—searched. she escaped on to a bridge and was brought back by an off—duty police officer. she was even discharged to hotel accommodation, where she harmed herself. so who is keeping an eye on west lane hospital? well, that was the role of the care quality commission. and inspectors were there injune 2019. workers told them staffing levels are terrible. patients said they felt unsafe. over a two—day period, there were 30 incidents of self harming. inspectors themselves found ligature risks, which they described as serious. just days after this, christie harnett took her own life. the trust was given a warning notice, but that wasn't enough. after two follow—up inspections, the care quality commission had
7:12 am
to take urgent action. it suspended admissions. the child and adult mental health service closed down. the trust says it's deeply sorry and that its new values of compassion, responsibility and respect need to be at the heart of everything it does. the hospital where christie was treated has been renamed, and the service is being run by another trust. a full inquest into christie's death is yet to take place. until then, her family hope today's report will give them some answers. we want everybody to see the truth. it's all well and good, us telling everybody and coming on camera and saying this is how she was treated. but i think until people see it in black and white... from an independent. ..from an independent thing, they're not going to really believe it. because... just to change. yeah. change the practice that so that the patients are at

the centre of what's going on. fiona trott, bbc news, county durham. israel's former prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has told supporters injerusalem he is on the brink of a "big victory", after exit polls put his right—wing bloc narrowly ahead in yesterday's general election. the current prime minister, yair lapid, says he's waiting for the votes to be counted. 0ur correspondent in israel, yolande knell reports. after a high turnout, exit polls suggest israel's former prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in position to take the reins of power again. but no matter what happens, his allies on the far right are jumping for joy. they are now the third—largest party. not long ago, the leaders of religious zionism,
7:14 am
known as racists and extremists, were out on the fringes of israeli politics. but this election has seen them transformed into key players. with his eyes on a cabinet post, itamar ben—gvir now tries to look like a conventional candidate. this was him last month, inflaming tensions at a flashpoint in eastjerusalem, by pointing a gun at palestinians during clashes. veteran campaigner mr netanyahu started election day waking up a startled voter and telling him to cast his ballot. yet it's his extremist deal with ultranationalists that could lead to his comeback. the current pm, yair lapid, made his pitch on thejob, signing a maritime deal with lebanon, an enemy state. his party's urged caution until all
7:15 am
the votes are counted. but there's no caution here. biden, don't worry. itamir is a very good guy. what do you like about him? he's a man. he's a man, like american, an americann. the terrorists, if some terrorists do something not good, in america, they're going to kill him. only the terrorists. it's ok. weeks of coalition wrangling could now follow. there's always the chance that celebrations will be short—lived. royal mail workers are to hold a series of strikes around black friday and cyber monday at the end of november — which are traditionally the biggest online shopping days of the year. the communication workers union says unless the row about pay, jobs and conditions is resolved, more walkouts in the run up

to christmas will be considered. footage has emerged appearing to show two giant christmas baubles tumbling down a street in central london. the festive decorations were seen rolling down the road into the path of oncoming traffic. i love this picture where it appears to burst. it's believed to have happened earlier this week during strong winds. it is like we are being attacked by christmas already. that is what happens when you put your decorations up in november, a lesson for astle. must have been windy. —— a lesson for us all.
7:17 am
yesterday we had gusty winds. today it will be more windy. to start we had clear skies. a chilly start to the day and had the clear skies. we will see sunshine very few showers in the west. scotland will continue with a view showers. all the time gladwell building from the west. you can see heavy rain living in across northern ireland accompanied by strengthening winds. —— moving in stop a view showers in the english channel which could flirt with south coast during the course of the day. the rain coming in from the west travelling east and south—east during the day. it will not make it down into the far south—east until in the day. behind the wins it will be quite showery. to give an idea of wind strength, this is what we are looking at. severe gales in the

7:19 am
and one in four admitted deliberately driving too close to them. richard bilton reports. if you cycle regularly in the uk, you'll have had one of these. there are more cyclists on the road than for 50 years, and disputes are commonplace. idiot! it's not always drivers who are to blame. we wanted to know what motorists across the uk thought of cyclists. some questions from panorama were added to a survey. 28% say they don't consider cyclists to be equal partners on the road. a third think cyclists shouldn't be on the road at all. and one in four admit they have knowingly driven too close to cyclists. early this year, the government
7:20 am
changed the highway code to give bikes priority over cars. cyclists can now ride in the middle of the lane if it is safer, and drivers are supposed to give them at least five feet of space. if i go over to the left on bends and hills, like this, it's encouraging drivers to try to sneak past to make a break for it. that is far more dangerous. he shouldn't be doing that! that's a dual white line, and we're on the brow of a hill. on average, two cyclists are killed every week, and more than 300 injured. let me show you how quickly things can go wrong. i've come in from the far side. i've made eye contact and then sort of realised, like, she's not going to stop. you can see the impact. the bike goes pretty
7:21 am

time about the increasing polarisation and conflict on the roads, which is really worrying, it is concerning. sometimes there is a media narrative to try to pitch people who drive and cycle is two separate groups. your other guest is the representative from motoring organisation who cycles and i am a cycling representative who often drives. we are not separate beings only travelling in one way. some of the reporting to try to create a polarisation as a news story sometimes it fosters an impatience and intolerance on the roads. that is detrimental to road safety and can cost lives. really important to try to move on from that. let can cost lives. really important to try to move on from that.- try to move on from that. let me brina try to move on from that. let me bring even _ try to move on from that. let me bring even at _ try to move on from that. let me bring even at this _ try to move on from that. let me bring even at this point. - try to move on from that. let me bring even at this point. i - try to move on from that. let me bring even at this point. i was - bring even at this point. i was taken by some of the statistics laid out in panorama tonight. 0ne taken by some of the statistics laid out in panorama tonight. one in

treat cyclists and give them more room, how to give way, the whole hierarchy of raids as the highway code points out. i think that is a step in the right direction. we have run our own campaigns with these little stickers that go on the side mirrors. every time a driver looks in the mirror, they see a sticker and they think bikes. i do think more campaigning is needed, more education is needed. bikes and cars are not going to go away, they are going to be here forever. 0ften are not going to go away, they are going to be here forever. often we are the same people and we need to live in harmony, safely, on the roads. , ., , roads. the point is that cyclist as some of the _ roads. the point is that cyclist as some of the responsibility. - some of the responsibility. straightaway we will get a lot of messages about cyclists going through red lights like they do not pay road tax. they can do what they want. slightly should be responsible as well. we

good morning from bbc london, i'm thomas magill. the mother of a delivery driver, who died after being knocked off his moped during a car chase in brixton on sunday, has spoken of her loss. 23—year—old deliveroo driver guilherme da silva was caught up in a car chase, which resulted in the shooting of the rapper lamar scott, known as perm. speaking from brazil, mr da silva's mother says she went into despair after learning about her son's death. translation: i'm devastated. my heart is bleeding. _ he was a great son. _ always with a smile on his face. and i would never have expected something like this to happen. i i have no words to express how much i'm suffering. . a drunk driver has been jailed after he smashed his car into a pedicab in south london, killing a woman. sophie strickland died injuly while she was visiting the capital to celebrate her birthday. the driver, luis fernando balcazar soto, from elephant and castle, didn't have a licence and was twice over the drink—drive limit,
7:30 am
when he hit the parked pedicab. the 24—year—old has been sentenced to nine years and nine months. whilst much of the arts was hit badly by covid, the animation sector in london is said to be thriving 0ne success story is the production of moley, a children's tv series about a little mole who lives under windsor castle. the hollywood actors who voice the main characters say working on animations is hugely enjoyable. i love doing the voiceover stuff. it's a gas. like you say, you know, it's not the opposite of acting. it's almost better than acting in a movie, because you can be more playful, i think, in a lot of ways. you don't have to wait around on sets for extended periods of time. if you're working with people like this, it's really fun and imaginative. let's take a look at how the tube is running this morning. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning.
7:31 am
it is another blustery day of weather today across the capital, but this time we should stay dry until we get to the evening, when there will be some more heavy rain moving eastwards. but for this morning it is dry out there. a bit chillier than we have been used to of late too, with temperatures having dropped back into high single figures. lots of morning brightness and sunshine, but we will see more cloud seep eastwards in the second half of the day with the approaching weather front. temperatures are now more or less at the seasonal average, mid—teens in celsius. the wind will pick up through the afternoon, gusting as high as 40 to 45 mph, locally even higher. then this evening and overnight our front sweeps eastwards, introducing outbreaks of rain, some of which will turn to be rather heavy. the front clears eastwards, but then it is likely to move back on itself into thursday morning. so, thursday morning looking rather wet, particularly towards eastern areas. we will see some brightness, possibly spells of sunshine by the time we get to the end of the day.
7:32 am
don't forget your belly. that's it from me. much more on the bbc website, our facebook and instagram platforms — i'll be back in half an hour. bye— bye. hello, you're watching breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. hundreds, if not thousands, of corrupt officers may be serving in england and wales police forces, a watchdog warned as it condemned poor police vetting standards. inspectors gave details of a number of cases from between october 2018 and september 2021, to highlight problems with police vetting systems, including one candidate applying to be a special constable who exposed himself to the same woman seven times in a two—week period, each time standing at his bedroom window. the man applied three times to the same force over a 13—year period, but was rejected,
7:33 am
before appealing and then being cleared. 0ne police officer had been caught speeding five years earlier, had been convicted of attempted theft in another country, and there was intelligence possibly linking him to drug dealing and cars used by violent criminals. another said he had been cautioned for shoplifting as a juvenile, and as a teenager had been accused of rape. no measures were put in place to monitor him while working as a police officer to minimise risk. 0ne officer, who still works with vulnerable people, was given a final written warning for sending extremely sexually explicit and racist messages to a female colleague. let's speak now to martin hewitt, chair of the national police chiefs council. good morning to you. wejust run through some of those cases. they are shocking. how is that allowed to

7:35 am
vetting, we have been looking at the processes used and how well they are running those processes in accordance with the codes of practice. we have been reviewing that along with the college of policing. that work will continue. and quite clearly, for the forces part of this inspection, the individual cases are being thoroughly looked at. in terms of the misconduct issues, we have been doing enormous amounts of work. every force has looked at all of those cases that are pending within their misconduct system, particularly those cases that relate to sexualised behaviour, misogynistic behaviour. and we're dealing with those. and your viewers will have seen lots of stories coming out with offices being removed from forces, being sacked because their behaviour does not meet these standards. and that work continues as we go forward. so, it's a combination of making sure that we get our practices as effective and efficient as they can be, and they have to be, around vetting people
7:36 am
when they come into the organisation, when they go into sensitive roles, when they move between organisations, and that work is under way. and also, making sure we are rooting out those people in our organisation who do not live up to the standards we expect and, more importantly, the public expect from the police service.— importantly, the public expect from the police service. apart from these individual cases, _ the police service. apart from these individual cases, the _ the police service. apart from these individual cases, the problem - the police service. apart from these individual cases, the problem here. individual cases, the problem here is this is about image and perception. we call the police when we want help and we want to feel safe when they attend to whatever we have called them for. these cases suggest we can't feel safe with the very people who are supposed to be protecting us?— protecting us? that's absolutely riuht. this protecting us? that's absolutely right- this is _ protecting us? that's absolutely right. this is around _ protecting us? that's absolutely right. this is around trust - protecting us? that's absolutely right. this is around trust and i right. this is around trust and confidence. it gets to the very heart of trust and confidence. and as you say, everybody turns to the police service at often the greatest hour of need. i think it is really important to say the report opens it up important to say the report opens it up with the comment that the vast majority of those that are police officers and working within police
7:37 am
live up to the high standards we all expect and provide that service. but there is no doubt, and i am not pulling away from the fact, that there is work for us to do around there is work for us to do around the culture that we have in certain aspects and in certain places. some of that toxic culture remains. we need to make sure the processes, be they the process around vetting and assuring ourselves about our staff, or the process about how we deal when misbehaviour happens, have to be right. and one of the other things we are doing across the country is really, chief constables in forces requiring and asking all of their staff, a call eight out culture, where anybody who sees behaviour that is not acceptable, has got the confidence to come forward. and that confidence based around the fact they know we will deal with the issues. and people who do not deserve to be in policing because we don't have the high standards, removed from the organisation.— standards, removed from the oruanisation. , , organisation. the problem is you 'ust don't organisation. the problem is you

7:39 am

within our organisation. we are rooting out where there is toxic culture, where there is behaviour that does not meet our standards. and we are being very transparent about doing that. i think that is really important. and i hope that provides some reassurance to your viewers that at the top of all the organisations we take this incredibly seriously. and there is an urgency for us to deal with this, because, as we set a couple of times, the fundamental point here is anybody who calls the police needs to be satisfied that when those police officers turn up, they will do theirjob properly and will be there to protect them. yes, do theirjob properly and will be there to protect them. yes, that is there to protect them. yes, that is the oint there to protect them. yes, that is the point in _ there to protect them. yes, that is the point in all— there to protect them. yes, that is the point in all of _ there to protect them. yes, that is the point in all of this. _ there to protect them. yes, that is the point in all of this. martin - there to protect them. yes, that is the point in all of this. martin he i the point in all of this. martin he would, thank you for being with us this morning. thank you. it is exactly 20 to eight. time for the sport withjohn. things changed dramatically in the champions league last night? they did. and in an illustration of why we love sport. the share of it all. anyone watching tottenham last night would not have thought they
7:41 am
saw those pictures at the end of them said reading. it was edge of your seats still. you might have fallen asleep in the first—half, tottenham are that bad. they only needed a draw to progress. do you try to defend? they were against marseille, who scored, and that motivated tottenham to play a little bit more in the second half. but yeah, it was a contrast from the first to the second half. but they got over the line in the end, yeah. a bit of everything. morning. at one point tottenham were heading out, then qualifying second, before topping the group thanks to a goal that came with virtually the last kick of the game. having trailed at half time, they pulled a goal back, riding their luck at times, before piere emile—hojberg raced clear in the 95th minute, to score the goal that gave them a 2—1victory, to go through as group winners. all without head coach antonio conte who was banned and had to watch from the stands. it was very difficult, the first half. in the difficulties we don't
7:42 am
lose the mind, we didn't lose the mind. we stay into the match. liverpool were already through, a bigger victory than their 2—0 win over napoli, that came thanks to a late goalfrom darwin nunez, would have put them through as group winners, so a tougher draw awaits them when the competition resumes in february. with liverpool back to league action against spurs on sunday. we showed tonight everything. we showed pieces of really, really, really good football and the defensive stop was on high level. napoli is at the moment a real force. so it could have been extremely difficult for us tonight but the boys played a really good game, and that is why it was not. an unwanted record for rangers, who finished their first champions league campaign in 12 years. they close with the worst group stage performance in teh competition's history.
7:43 am
six defeats, zero points and a minus 20 goal difference. that defeat against ajax. now it doesn't happen often, england beating brazil, but it did yesterday in the women's rugby league world cup. and it was big, 72 points to 4 in their tournament opener, 14 tries, in front of a record crowd too, 15,000 fans watched at headingley. courtney winfield hill and amy hardcastle both scored hat—tricks. i'm really happy to see different people getting over the line. there's been some great work, some great push work. and we've worked really well as a team in getting that shape as well. and for me, it's, you know, we recognise that there was errors within the game and we fixed that. and you could with that in performance. england face canada next, who lost to papua new guinea. that match will feature as part of a double header with papua new guinea, with the princess of wales in attendance. great britain produced the best
7:44 am
performance by a women's team winning silver in the team final at the world gymnastics championships. and that is the best performance by a women's artistic team from this country in the history of the competition. jessica gadirova's floor routine sealed second spot on the podium, and it means they've already qualified for the paris olympics in 2024. the usa took the gold medal for the sixth time in a row. the ball that diego maradona used to score his �*hand of god' goal against england, at the 1986 world cup in mexico, is to be sold at auction. it has a cool £3 million estimate placed on it. the infamous handball goal in the the quarter—final helped argentina to knock england out of the world cup. who can forget this? tunisian referee ali bin nasser had kept the ball all these years, but has decided to sell it. there it is. a little bit more deflated than the date was used. it's currently on display at wembley ahead of
7:45 am
the auction later this month. it was special to be in the world cup and we were just starting to peak and get better as a team as well. and there was nothing to choose between the sides eventually, apart from maradona, and, you know, what happened, happened. we can't change it. one of the biggest — perhaps the biggest injustice in football. but, you know, everything's changed a lot now, and var and goal—line technologies, and all this kind of thing as well, so hopefully, that'll never happen again. they didn't have technology that day. it might have made a difference. it was interesting. the refereejust difference. it was interesting. the referee just blamed the linesman. he said, the linesman rested. and here we are still talking about it, and that is why it is worth so much money. it is the referee who has the ball? he has the ball. it was his mistake! it wasn't just that goal. it was the incredible run that maradona produced from the halfway line.
7:46 am
england pulled a goal back. john, it was a long time ago! do you think any england fans will be bidding for it? no. thank you. still not over it. just turned quarter to eight. the ministry of defence has told bbc news it destroyed records belonging to service personnel who were dismissed from the military for being gay. 0ne veterans organisation has said that this may feel like a cover up to many people — but the mod maintains it was under a legal duty to delete the documents. angus crawford reports. meet lance corporaljean mcdonald. proud of her service and the uniform. dismissed by the army in 1981 for being gay. all of a sudden, you've lost yourfull career, you've lost your friends, you've lost your accommodation, your whole way of life, and it was just full of shame. thousands of service personnel were dismissed for being homosexual until the year 2000 when the ban
7:47 am
was finally lifted. veterans have campaigned forjustice ever since. injanuary this year, the government set up an independent review to look into their treatment. jean mcdonald applied for her full—service record to share as evidence, only for the mod to reveal that all documents about the military police investigation into her had been destroyed. it's a mixture of feelings. again, feeling that you're invisible. that you don't count. that the government, they don't care about what happened. and that in some ways they're just trying to sort of... ..we're a bit of hidden history. the ministry of defence told us the policy followed at the time was to remove references to these former offences and investigations from service records.
7:48 am
there was a legal duty to ensure these records were erased. with no records, what proof is there? another hurdle then for lgbt+ veterans seeking compensation for the harm they suffered. angus crawford, bbc news. we have been keeping carol very busy the last few days with a very complicated weather picture. morning. good morning. you are absolutely right. if you have stepped outside, maybe to put the bins out, and you have noticed it is a wee bit chilly, you wouldn't be wrong. temperatures much lowerfor many of us than they have been. we have clearer skies. for many it is a bright or sunny start. we have already got some rain in the west. that will push southwards and eastwards through the day, accompanied by strengthening winds. to give you an idea of the strength of winds later, this is what you can expect. these are the costs. with exposure in the west and north—west,
7:49 am
we are looking at gales, even severe gales. not even inland. we are looking at 40 to 50 miles per hour winds. if you are on a bike, or a high sided vehicle, bear that in mind. we have a developing area of low pressure. it is coming our why bringing the wet and windy conditions. ahead of it, a transient ridge of high pressure. you can see that rain is already making progress in two western parts of northern ireland. showers might be handed in the west. some heavy infantry. things are required under that. so, settled. the winds light. we will see some sunny skies. a few showers in the english channel. but of the heavy rain moving in across northern ireland, scotland, northern ireland, wales and the south—west. accompanied by squally winds. these are the temperatures. 11 to about 16 degrees. the rain not getting into
7:50 am
before south eastern to later. and these are the gusts of wind strength. that is the middle of the afternoon. some will be higher, some will be lower. eventually the rain makes it into the south—east. behind it, a platter of showers across the north west. some of those will be heavy infantry. it will remain windy across the far north of scotland. it is going to be another chilly night in the north, but not where we have got the cloud and rain. tomorrow the rain in the south—east if anything just moves further northwards and eastwards. it takes its time to clear. a lot of dry weather. a fair bit of sunshine. still windy in the north. later on in the day it is going to be windy across the far south—west of england. as we head into friday, we have got high pressure across us. so a much brighter day. we will have lighter winds. they will be more sunshine. it will be drier, bar a few showers. temperature wise we are more or less where we should be at this time of the year. ten to 13 or 14 degrees.
7:51 am
as we head into the weekend, well, on saturday itself, we will have rain in the west, heading towards the east. behind that, sunshine and showers. that rain will clear the far south—east on sunday. behind it, sunshine and showers and another blustery day. it really is a bit of everything. thank you. it is autumn, it is what you expect. we have got a bit of face and a bit of that. it keeps us all busy. especially you. thank you. as we've been reporting this morning, the former health secretary matt hancock is facing criticism overjoining the cast of i'm a celebrity get me out of here. let's see how today's front pages tell the story. the sun carries an interview with the mp explaining his decision and also reports he will miss dozens of commons votes while on the show, and will continue to receive his 84—thousand pound salary. �*the man with no shame' —
7:52 am
that's the mirror's take on the news, as it reports there are calls for mr hancock to stand down and the express says there's �*fury�* from covid—bereaved families over his decision to join the reality tv programme. so this is how mr hancock has been defending the decision. some of the quotes from the sun. he says there are many ways to do thejob of being an mp, adding... and that rather than looking down on reality tv, we should see it for what it is — "a powerful tool to get our message heard by younger generations." but not everyone agrees with him. it's ridiculous. you're joking! he. should it's ridiculous. you're joking! should stay it's ridiculous. you're joking! he should stay in politics and get the country _ should stay in politics and get the country right _ should stay in politics and get the country right rather— should stay in politics and get the country right rather than - should stay in politics and get the country right rather than going i should stay in politics and get the country right rather than going on tv. we've had a couple of viewers get in touch about this too. sharon in devon says she was shocked to hear the news, and called it "another slap
7:53 am
in the face", with british taxpayers expected to fund mr hancock while the "plays in the jungle". flo felt differently. she said other politicians have taken part in similar reality tv shows without this kind of scrutiny, and that people should be grateful for the government's work during the pandemic, especially the former health secretary. do let us know what you think about his decision. you can contact us here at bbc breakfast. and later on in the programme we are going to be speaking to tony blackburn, the winner of the first ever i'm a celebrity... back in 2002. and also, fiona on when from matt hancock's local constituency conservative party. we will ask both of them what they think. a question i want to ask tony blackburn again, would he do it again, having done it once? and do you think it is worse than it
7:54 am
used to be in terms of the tasks and eating challenges? they may have got worse over the years. people get quite tactical about who they vote for. we will talk about that. get in touch. last week we heard how production of the ford fiesta is stopping to make way for electric models, with sales of new petrol and diesel cars coming to an end in the uk by 2030. 0ne country that looks set to meet that same target five years earlier is norway. believe it or not, some claim its move to electric vehicles was kick started by 80s pop group aha. the band carried out a number protests and a campaign of civil disobedience 33 years go, in a bid to get their government to take the issue seriously. kevin keane went to oslo to find out how it all happened. they were 1980's heart—throbs who,
7:55 am
even then, had an interest in cars. # take me on # take on me.# but their passion went way beyond speed and style. as the lead singer of a—ha, morten hackett was using his platform to raise awareness about the environment. and in 1989, this unlikely grouping of two pop stars, an environmentalist and an academic imported norway's first modern day electric car, a fiat panda, which they used for civil disobedience. we've brought them back together to recreate that photo. now, the question is, can we all go down on our knees? did we do that as well? and they're using a modern day electric fiat. 33 years on, we want it exact. like that, yeah. so, big smiles all around. they racked up fines, which they refused to pay until the car was impounded.
7:56 am
did you feel like you were a rebel? i didn't feel i was entering into the role of a rebel, really. i realised that that's what it was, but it was just necessary. it was what we needed to do. and it made... ..just made every sense, you know? the original car was repeatedly bought back and more fines accrued, with an aim of embarrassing the government into taking electric vehicles seriously. the car was a symbolic thing, right? so, because there was only two seats and you guys drove it. and obviously, with morten there, it created also press, you know, it became visible. so it wasn't about necessarily embarrassing the government. it was more about getting focus on this as a potential future game changer. but it went 45 kilometres, so it was not... _ it was early days. you'd have to charge for 48 hours.
7:57 am
so, you then collectively imported the first one into norway. what was that like receiving that, having that on norway's roads? well, government tried to put all kinds of different attempts at taxing it, which we refused because it was just rubbish. it was a diesel tax. it took took a year to pave the road and with this little fiat panda - for the regulations in norway. but it's interesting how, now, 33 years later, we are the grown—ups and we have kids, all of us. and we have a responsibility to our own families and to our own nation and to the global community. the campaign was conceived by professor rostvik, who'd been frustrated that electric vehicles weren't being taken seriously. today, it's a different story. the last six months, meaning 2022, 78% of all sold cars are pure electric.
7:58 am
so, pretty soon there will be 100%. and from 2025, the government has announced they will ban the sales of all petrol and diesel cars. norway today is a different place, with electric infrastructure much more commonplace than in the uk. morten, how optimistic are you about the future? i am, with the thought that the world only looks the way it does today because we keep it that way, because the upkeep of how we do things, how we go about things. it can change very fast if we choose to change. there's little doubt norway will meet its target of banning new fossil fuel cars in a couple of years. with electric ferries now entering service, they've already moved on to their next climate challenge, decarbonising the rest
7:59 am
of their transport infrastructure. but it was the country's biggest musical export that helped give it that original shove. kevin keane, bbc news, oslo. you will have that song in your head all day. we are really sorry. it is a great song. disclosure: electric cars — ready for the charge? is available on bbc iplayer and on bbc one scotland tonight at eight o'clock. stay with us, headlines coming up.
8:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. our headlines today... police officers with criminal records and links to organised crime. a damning report says hundreds of recruits are joining the force when they should have failed vetting procedures. going to "where the people are". former health secretary matt hancock defends his decision to appear on i'm a celebrity. counter terrorism police are investigating the fire—bombing of a migrant processing centre in kent. who will have to take higher taxes?
8:01 am
the government warns of even tougher times ahead, as it looks to plug a £40 billion hole in the national plan for taxes. what might that mean for you? i'll take a look. in sport. tottenham's turnaround. how a european exit loomed before topping their table on a night of late drama in the champions league. good morning. actually but dry and bright start for many of us. we do have rain already in the west that will push south and east during the course of the day. not getting into the south—east yet. it will be accompanied byjust three wins with severe gales in some areas. —— with blustery wind. it's wednesday, the 2nd of november. our main story. it's far too easy for the wrong people to join the police — that's the view of a senior inspector whose damning report reveals that hundreds of officers in england and wales should have failed vetting checks. the watchdog's investigation also
8:02 am
uncovered a culture of misogyny, sexism and predatory behaviour in some forces, as tom symonds reports. in 2012, nicola brooks reported she was being abused and stalked online. an inspectorfrom sussex police handled her case, but he carried on visiting her even after his involvement ended. no—one questioned him, and he should never have been able to get to me in that period. an investigation found he abused his position to engineer a brief sexual relationship with nicola at a difficult point in her life. as my investigation proves, they target the most vulnerable women. and it's usually women like me. you know, domestic violence. serious, serious stalking, and nobody questions them because they are veteran experienced officers. the inspector was dismissed for misconduct. there were other women, too, but could vetting have rooted him out? today's highly critical report focuses on sexual and abusive behaviour.
8:03 am
the police watchdog examined 725 cases, where officers were vetted. in 131, the decision was questionable at best. about one in five of them is somebody we think eitherjust shouldn't havejoined, or if they were going to join, should have had some special controls put around them. i don't think it's being taken seriously enough. i don't think police leadership realises how important it is. i don't think police leaders realise the risk they carry by not having higher vetting standards, and therefore its too easy for the wrong people to get in. with cuts in the past, and officers leaving, the police are struggling to find 50,000 new recruits. in one force, not the met, a chief constable accepted a candidate previously accused of sexual assaults to make theirforce's ranks more diverse. and after a group of officers were found to have shared offensive messages at this london police station, the concern was that bad attitudes develop
8:04 am
during a police career. vetting should happen every ten years. you are not going to change that culture overnight. they'll vet at the start of the careers. well, they say they do. you know, obviously. there's controls in place and there's vetting and screening, but there's clearly not any vetting going on throughout the officers' careers, which is what i think is what needs to be done. in nicola's case, sussex police said... the murder of sarah everard by a serving police officer, and the damage it did to trust in the police, demonstrate what could be at stake. today's report makes 43 recommendations for improving vetting. tom symonds, bbc news.
8:05 am
the former health secretary, matt hancock, has defended his decision tojoin i'm a celebrity get me out of here. writing in the sun this morning, he said the show is an opportunity to talk directly to people who aren't always interested in politics. our political correspondent, ben wright, is in westminster. ben, what sort of reaction has there been? morning. in that article matt hancock says he has not lost his marbles or had too many cocktails. the reaction in westminster has not been amused, to say the least. he has been booted out of the parliamentary tory party in westminster for now. that means his whip has been suspended. yesterday the prime minister said he expected mps to be focused on constituents, particularly at a time like this. anotherformer
8:06 am
particularly at a time like this. another former conservative minister said he was a prat. constituents in his former separate constituency are angry as well. the reaction has been negative. i am sure some mps will be tuning in to watch matt hancock eat a variety ofjungle delicacies. an acceptance on the part of matt hancock that despite having been a very ambitious politician earlier in his career, he wanted to return to the cabinet or a ministerialjob under the premiership of rishi sunak. he now embarks on a different career. ., ~' sunak. he now embarks on a different career. ., ~ , ., y . counter—terrorism police are now leading the investigation into a firebomb attack at a dover immigration centre on sunday. several petrol bombs were thrown at the site by a man, who was laterfound dead. our correspondent simonjones is in dover this morning. simon, what's the latest on this?
8:07 am
the attack happened in an area of the pull down there where migrants are brought once they are picked up in the channel. 0n are brought once they are picked up in the channel. on sunday, just after 11 o'clock in the morning, a man drove his car and three two, three petrol bombs at the site. two members of staff were injured. now we know counterterrorism police are looking into what happened. that after they searched the home of the suspect in high wycombe. they say they found a number of items of interest which they are urgently examining. they say they are digital devices. after the attack 700 migrants had to be moved for their own safety to the processing site at manston. that site was already hugely overcrowded and added to the pressure. we know at the weekend
8:08 am
there were 4000 people on the site when it was only designed for around 1000 people for initial processing. they are only supposed to spend 24—hour spare. they are only supposed to spend 24—hourspare. some they are only supposed to spend 24—hour spare. some have enough for around a month. we have been speaking to one man, he was moved out of manston on monday after spending three weeks there. he has described conditions as being like a prison. t described conditions as being like a rison. , , ., ., ., described conditions as being like a rison. , , ., ., described conditions as being like a rison. , ., ., prison. i slept on the floor, a lot of people _ prison. i slept on the floor, a lot of people were _ prison. i slept on the floor, a lot of people were there. _ prison. i slept on the floor, a lot of people were there. in - prison. i slept on the floor, a lot of people were there. in one - prison. i slept on the floor, a lot of people were there. in one bigj of people were there. in one big tent, _ of people were there. in one big tent, maybe 130 people. it was cold. we cannot _ tent, maybe 130 people. it was cold. we cannot go to the toilet, take a shower. _ we cannot go to the toilet, take a shower, take a bath. we do not have any clothes — shower, take a bath. we do not have any clothes. we are not animals. you cannot— any clothes. we are not animals. you cannot eat _ any clothes. we are not animals. you cannot eat or— any clothes. we are not animals. you cannot eat or sleep. i could not call my— cannot eat or sleep. i could not call my family to tell them i was ok. call my family to tell them i was ok it _ call my family to tell them i was ok it was — call my family to tell them i was ok. it was like a zoo. immigration minister said _ ok. it was like a zoo. immigration minister said yesterday _ ok. it was like a zoo. immigration minister said yesterday a - minister said yesterday a significant number of people were moved out of manston to other accommodation. one coachload to people to a hotel near heathrow. a

significant number are expected to be made out of manston again today. robertjenrick said if we do not see a large number of people making the crossing this week, overall numbers at manston will be falling at a sustainable level. therein lies the problem. it is very much dependent on the weather. yesterday was choppy. we have not seen any arrivals. government policy appears to be dictated by the weather and thatis to be dictated by the weather and that is certainly not a good look when they want to take back control of the borders.— israel's former prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has told supporters injerusalem he is on the brink of a "big victory." it comes after exit polls put his right—wing bloc narrowly ahead in yesterday's general election. the current prime minister, yair lapid, says he's waiting for the votes to be counted. royal mail workers are to hold a series of strikes around black friday and cyber monday at the end of november — which are traditionally the biggest

8:14 am
because we now don't have an mp. he isn't the first politician to take part in this programme, but he is the most senior. he has the biggest reputation. and with everything that's going on right now from the cost of living crisis to the covid inquiry, to a lot of people, this doesn't seem like entertainment. because for too many people, he was the health secretary who broke the very rules he set. but the first line of defence for everybody, no matter who you are, no matter how old you are, is to follow that social distancing. you asked about hugging people. when people have had both jabs, then it is... that is pretty safe. howard crosier and femi akinola both died in the early days of the pandemic. their children believe this is a terrible misjudgment
8:15 am
by matt hancock, and a terrible mistake by itv. well, i'm angry. the fact that he is as well known as he is is because of his response to the worst public health crisis in 100 years. i think it's absolutely disgusting, and i think itv should be ashamed of themselves as well. hundreds of thousands of people have died under his watch, and i think it trivialises that loss that we're going through. but there is very little shame when it comes to mps and reality tv. britain has a long tradition. # gangnam style!# some mps have come out more unscathed than others. the risk for him is that he risks now being seen as a has—been, somebody who isjust earning a bob or two doing these celebrity shows. you know, i think we all in public life have an element of vanity. and my own case was a slightly
8:16 am

for culture and tourism, has said they simply can't afford it. whilst much of the arts was hit badly by covid, the animation sector in london is said to be thriving. one success story is moley — a children's tv series about a mole who lives under windsor castle. the hollywood actors who voice the main characters say animations is hugely enjoyable. i love doing the voiceover stuff. it's a gas. like you say, you know, it's not the opposite of acting. it's almost better than acting in a movie, because you can be more playful, i think, in a lot of ways. you don't have to wait around on sets for extended periods of time. if you're working with people like this, it's really fun and imaginative. let's take a look at how the tube is running this morning. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. it is another blustery day of weather today across the capital, but this time we should stay dry until we get to the evening, when there will be some more heavy
8:29 am
rain moving eastwards. but for this morning it is dry out there. a bit chillier than we have been used to of late too, with temperatures having dropped back into high single figures. lots of morning brightness and sunshine, but we will see more cloud seep eastwards in the second half of the day with the approaching weather front. temperatures are now more or less at the seasonal average, mid—teens in celsius. the wind will pick up through the afternoon, gusting as high as 40 to 45 mph, locally even higher. then this evening and overnight our front sweeps eastwards, introducing outbreaks of rain, some of which will turn to be rather heavy. the front clears eastwards, but then it is likely to move back on itself into thursday morning. but then it is likely to move back so, thursday morning looking rather wet, particularly towards eastern areas. we will see some brightness, possibly spells of sunshine by the time we get to the end of the day. that's it from me. for now, it's back to ben and sally on breakfast.
8:30 am
hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sally walker. good morning. just about to turn have passed out. hundreds of police officers who should have failed vetting checks may be in the job in england and wales, according to a damning new report. his majesty's inspectorate of constabulary and fire & rescue services looked at eight forces, reviewing hundreds of police vetting files and found examples of police officers transferring between forces despite complaints or misconduct allegations. a prevailing culture of misogyny, sexism and predatory behaviour towards female police officers and members of the public. officers and staff with criminal records who had given false or incomplete information during the vetting process. incidents which should have been assessed as gross misconduct, assessed as misconduct only, or not treated at all. let's speak now to parm sandhu, a former chief superintendent who left the met police after 30 years.

8:32 am
behind him, with two different partners, where he has left marks on their necks. i will leave it to the imagination as to what he has done. another one actually used a knife to threaten his partner. you have got incidents like that. these police officers are then going out to deal with domestic abuse victims and they are advising those victims, and also the perpetrators. how independent are they? how much can you trust them? but also, i would like to point out that the majority of police officers are good, caring individuals. they are there for the right reasons. how do they feel waking up today reading this report, talking about colleagues they are serving with, who should not be in the police service?— serving with, who should not be in the police service? when you were recruited, what _ the police service? when you were recruited, what sort _ the police service? when you were recruited, what sort of _ the police service? when you were recruited, what sort of vetting - recruited, what sort of vetting procedures are you aware of that you went through? t procedures are you aware of that you went through?— went through? i am really disappointed _ went through? i am really disappointed with - went through? i am really disappointed with the - went through? i am really i disappointed with the vetting procedures because i know that when you join the job, procedures because i know that when you join thejob, you get invited. and quite often you are never vetted again. it is only when you go for
8:33 am
promotion or a different kind ofjob where you need a higher level of vetting that that vetting takes place. this report calls for action. it calls for everybody to be vetted again so the right people are in the organisation. but in my experience people can go through 30 years of service without being vetted again, which is wrong and dangerous. another issue with the vetting thing is that if something happens, or a person commits a crime or comes to notice, it is self reporting, so that if you commit an offence outside of your force area, your employers don't know. not unless you tell them that you have done something wrong. and if you have allowed on your vetting form when you join, you are not going to tell the truth and say, oh, by the way, i have just beaten up my partner, or been involved in an incident. it is not going to happen. th been involved in an incident. it is not going to happen.— not going to happen. in your experience. _

basics. you're starting from the training, from acceptability. but one of the big things is, they have to make an example of these officers. they have to be sacked. they have to be gotten rid of. that will act as a deterrent for other officers to behave properly. during our 30 officers to behave properly. during your 30 years _ officers to behave properly. during your 30 years experience, - officers to behave properly. during your 30 years experience, did - officers to behave properly. during your 30 years experience, did you | your 30 years experience, did you notice a change at any point, an improvement at any point? there was an improvement. _ improvement at any point? there was an improvement, especially _ improvement at any point? there was an improvement, especially after - improvement at any point? there was an improvement, especially after the | an improvement, especially after the recommendations from the macpherson report. but i feel the police service has gone backwards. and with the use of social media and whatsapp, the sort of behaviour is becoming more hidden. they are choosing groups that share these awful fantasies, choosing groups that share these awfulfantasies, these choosing groups that share these awful fantasies, these awful images, and they are getting away with it. it is only recently that he's to light. even a mobile phone is issued to police officers, some of the police forces don't keep a track of who has got what found. so how do

8:38 am
how to fill it? well, there's been lots of speculation about taxes going up. it's thought the chancellor isn't keen to increase the rate of basic income tax, vat or national insurance, as they would go against the conservative party's last election manifesto. instead they might freeze tax allowances and thresholds, meaning as wages go up, more people are paying more tax. if the government chooses to freeze tax thresholds in that context, the fact you are getting paid more, even though you can't afford more, means you will still pay more in taxes. you mightjump up the tax bracket, for example. you might pay more at the till with an effective rise in vat or pay more to national insurance. freezing these thresholds is effectively a way for the chancellor and prime minister to raise taxes without saying they are raising taxes. so how else could the money be raised? yesterday we reported bp's massive profits. last week it was shell. that's triggered more calls for them

to pay higher windfall taxes. that's where businesses pay an extra tax on earnings they weren't responsible for — in this case prices being pushed up by war in ukraine. rishi sunak did introduce a type of windfall tax, the energy profit levy, when he was chancellor in may. the treasury hopes it will generate £17 billion in two years. but critics say businesses can avoid paying it by investing. as well as bringing in more money, what about cutting spend? the chancellor has suggested this might have to happen, but the opposition say public services can't take any more cuts. whatever happens, there is a belief that as hard as things are now for many households, things are about to get even tougher. it looks like 2023 is going to be another tough year for the british economy, for british households. we've got slow growth, we've got price rises faster than wage rises hitting living standards, interest
8:40 am
rates rising, adding to mortgage bills, and now it looks like we are going to face quite broad—based tax rises as well, taking another bite out of people's income. and that's what perhaps many of you are feeling. unsure about where your mortgage, you energy bills, the cost of the supermarket shop will be in coming months. expect some clarity on november 17th. but it may be clarity on your tax, it may be someone your energy support when it comes to next spring. some clarity on your mortgage, but everything up in the air. predictions are very wary —— varied. big questions about what will it will take us to get through the winter and out of the other side. as you can probably tell, john is here. morning. champions day, what a night last night. totten progressing. at one of the things being levelled at the tournament is it is quite
8:41 am
predictable in the group stages, you get the same teams, it is not very competitive. but not inthat non—�*s group. i think at one point last night, any of the four teams in that group were top of the table. it shows how tight it was. but they got the win. very dramatic. they got it late as well. morning. at one point tottenham were heading out, then qualifying second, before topping the group thanks to a goal that came with virtually the last kick of the game. having trailed at half time, they pulled a goal back, riding their luck at times, before piere emile—hojberg raced clear in the 95th minute, to score the goal that gave them a 2—1victory, to go through as group winners. all without head coach antonio conte who was banned and had to watch from the stands. liverpool were already through. a bigger victory than their 2—0 win over napoli, that came thanks to a late goalfrom darwin nunez, would have put them through as group winners. so a tougher draw awaits them when the competition resumes in february. liverpool back to league action
8:42 am
against spurs on sunday. we showed tonight everything. we showed pieces of really, really, really good football and the defensive stuff was on high level. napoli is at the moment a realforce. so it could have been extremely difficult for us tonight but the boys played a really good game, and that is why it was not. an unwanted record for rangers who finished their first champions league campaign in 12 years. they close with the worst group stage performance in the competition's history. six defeats, zero points and a minus 20 goal difference. the latest against ajax last night. zero points. now it doesn't happen often, england beating brazil, but it did yesterday in the women's rugby league world cup. and it was big, 72—4 in their tournament opener, 14 tries, in front of a record crowd too, 15,000 fans watched at headingley.
8:43 am
courtney winfield hill and amy hardcastle both scored hat—tricks. now how about this at the world gymnastics championships — great britain's women winning silver in the team final in liverpool. and that is the best performance by a women's artistic team from this country in the history of the competition. jessica gadirova's floor routine sealed second spot on the podium and it means they've already qualified for the paris olympics in 2024. all smiles at the end. it adds to the brand they won the olympics last year. women's gymnastics in a good place. they have secured a spot for the next games in paris. you kind of wonder what might come next. more medals! when mark longley saw his dog chase after a rabbit on their daily walk it was nothing new — but he didn't expect
8:44 am
it become a two—day ordeal. his little terrier, tia, got trapped almost 150 metres along a pipe — prompting a major rescue mission, as phillip norton reports... just before sunday lunch, i was walking down this public footpath. my little terrier, tia, chased a rabbit, and i walk up and think, oh, well, where's she gone, where's she gone? then i seen that pipe and i thought, oh no. and i shot down there, put my head in the pipe and i could hear her. she wouldn't come back because the pipe's that tight she can't turn round. it was the start of a two—day ordeal for a much loved family pet, trapped almost 150 metres along a pipe underneath a field. this pipe runs from this ditch all the way past the barns. i hold my hands up to the fire brigade, they come. four appliances come to try and help me, and they've tried with everything they could, but unfortunately, the pipe was too long for the
8:45 am
equipment they had. i went home and i was just thinking, what can i do, what can i do? with hours turning into days, his daughter's friend suggested these guys. this is a remote control camera. we send this down into the drainage systems to look for, essentially cracks in pipes. they were looking for tia. quite tricky, to be fair. - so we got stuck at 111 metres. so then, dug up that bit of pipe, took- ithe top section of pipe out, moved| the van up to there, put the camera back in through the hole. so it was around - about 140 metres up. you canjust about see over the top that little black shape, _ which obviously we were hoping was the dog. - another company sent a digger, and the rescue began. so, then we just dug the top of the pipe off, dug down the sides of it, took a little section out, put the camera back down. it got stuck again. so we had to do the same again. but this time, when we took it off, we looked down the pipe and we could see the dog.
8:46 am
so we dug a bit further, pulled some our pipe off, and we got her out. come on. good girl, come on. come on, lass. yeah! yes! i was ecstatic. i couldn't believe that she was still alive and we was getting her out. yeah, when i seen him pulling her out by the back legs and she's wriggling, trying to get back in, then, yeah, it's a good feeling, isn't it? brilliant, to be honest. it weren't even my dog and it was a bit emotional! amazing feeling. oh, i can't thank these lads enough. clearway, megaplant, dan, our kid. as for tia, she's had a warm bath, and is safe and well back home. hey, you're a good girl, aren't you? back home? a lesson learnt — there's no more chasing rabbits. phillip norton, bbc news, swine, near hull. not sure i believe that. i think tia will continue to chase rabbits. very cute face.
8:47 am
very cute. let's talk about the weather. carol has the details. good morning. good morning. for many of us it is a chilly start to the day. cheerier than we have been used to. it is only 2 degrees in parts of north—east scotland, where out towards the west where we have the cloud building, some rain coming in and the wind strengthening, temperatures are a bit higher. a bright start for many. a transient ridge of high pressure. wet and windy weather coming in from the west. the kind of wind strengths you can expect are these. these are the costs, even in land we are looking at 40 to 50 mph across the north of england, possibly a little bit more out towards the west with exposure. we are looking at gales, even severe gales. something to bear in mind if you are travelling. it is because of this area of low pressure. it is coming in from the atlantic, bringing notjust in strong winds but also some heavy rain. it is
8:48 am
usurping that transient ridge of high pressure. we have the rain going across western parts of northern ireland and scotland. ahead had a bit, a few showers from the english channel. flirting with the south coast at times. many starting on that right now too. the cloud building. the rain not getting into the south—east. if we follow that band of rain you can see the bright colours indicating where the heavy rain is. continuing round. we returned to showers across the outer hebrides and northern ireland through the day. but squally winds around his band of rain. this is what you can expect that a three o'clock this afternoon. strong in the north—east of scotland, 48. about 58 across cornwall. through this evening and overnight that rain makes it into the south and south—east. we continue with heavy and thundery showers in the far north of scotland. here it will remain windy. and cool under clear skies. across many parts of the uk,
8:49 am
except the south, where we have the thick cloud and rain. the rain drift further northwards and eastwards tomorrow. behind it, dry weather, showers through the day, still windy, heavy showers in the far north of scotland. the wind across to the isles of scilly, south—west wales, south—west england, picking up wales, south—west england, picking up in the evening. these temperatures are more or less bang on where they should be at this stage of november. into friday, high pressure is in charge, things quietened down. a lot of dry weather. some showers, the exception rather than the rule. the wind will be much lighter. these are the temperatures again, similar to what we're looking at on thursday. into the weekend, we start off on saturday with red and the west, drifting eastwards. behind it, and showers. that rain will tear the east. behind it, sunshine and showers, showers. that rain will tear the east. behind it, sunshine and showers, they showers. that rain will tear the east. behind it, sunshine and showers, they will showers. that rain will tear the east. behind it, sunshine and showers, they will be showers. that rain will tear the east. behind it, sunshine and showers, they will be blustery. thank you. blustery, changeable, sunshine and showers.

seasonably appropriate. it is autumn. manchester in the early 90s was the centre of uk music culture. and no—one embodied that more than mark berry, better known as bez, on stage with his maracas, having it large with the happy mondays. skip forward 30 years, and he's swapped the late nights for the peace of the countryside, and a love of beekeeping. but let's remind ourselves of bez in his madchester hey—day. # i don't have a decent bone in may. # i don't have a decent bone in may. # what you get is just what you see. # i never, ever give to the needy. # i never, ever give to the needy. # come up and see me.
