good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. plans for a new nuclear power plant at sizewell are under review, as the government tries to find billions of pounds of savings. after the biggest interest rate rise in more than 30 years, there's a warning that higher rents could be on the way. the parents of the youngest victim of the manchester arena bombing say she was badly let down by the emergency services. saffie fought that night. but unfortunately, she was let down. badly, badly let down. i believe in my heart

that she would have survived. history is made in the gymnastics in liverpool, asjessica gadirova, wins britain's first ever women's individual all—around medal, at a world championships. and join me live exactly 100 years after a team of british and egyptian archaeologists discovered at the entrance to the tomb of tutankhamun. plus, it is a frosty start to friday for a sum and for many it is going to be a dry and sunny day. details coming up. good morning. it's friday, the 11th of november. our main story. plans for a new nuclear power plant in sizewell in suffolk are under review, as the government looks to try and cut spending. a high—speed rail line promised for the north of england could also be scaled back. a treasury spokesperson has insisted infrastructure

projects remain a priority. here's our business editor, simonjack. major energy infrastructure and transport projects, including a new nuclear plant in suffolk, and a new rail line in the north of england, are under review and could be delayed, watered down or even scrapped, as the government tries to cut spending, the bbc understands. the new business secretary, grant shapps, gave the clearest indication yet that recent commitments by former prime minister liz truss to a brand new line, eventually connecting northern towns and cities from hull to liverpool through bradford, were very likely to be scaled back. the line itself can deliver a 33 minute journey from manchester to leeds, quadruple nearly the capacity of that line, and do so without having to wait an extra 20 years beyond the delivery of what the upgrade can do. so we'll be able to provide all of that upgrade. there wasn't really much point in going and blasting new tunnels through the pennines. government officials also cast doubt

on the future of sizewell c, a £25 billion project to build two new nuclear reactors at an existing site in suffolk, that promises to provide up to 7% of the uk's total electricity needs. "we are reviewing every major project, including sizewell c" said people familiar with the matter. new large scale nuclear plants has been a key part of the government's strategy to help reduce the uk's reliance on fossil fuels. borisjohnson, while pm, declared it was his intention to build eight new reactors in the next eight years. a shift away from that position would represent a major change in uk energy policy, that some will lament, and some will celebrate. simon jack, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent iain watsonjoins us from westminster. morning. we know and we have been

the terra carta, an the initiative founded by the king which aims to encourage the private sector to commit to sustainability. prince william has announced the finalists for his global environment awards, the earthshot prize. the aim is to find new and creative ideas that will help protect our planet for the future. five winners will each receive £1 million to make their project a reality. 0ur climate editor, justin rowlatt, has been to revisit two of last year's winners. prince william launched his earthshot prize with a glamorous ceremony in london's alexandra palace last year. in the next ten years, we are going to act. this we are going to find the solutions to repair our planet. there was a galaxy of stars in attendance. david attenborough was one of the judges. we don't have eternity. we need to do this now. the aim — to inspire a new generation of innovators.

and you can see the results in the fronds of coral here in the bahamas. earthshot winner coral vita has developed systems for growing heat resistant corals to help restore the world's dying coral reefs. the goal would be to have coral vitas around the world, to go global with coral veta, because we've lost 50% of the world's reefs within the last decade. so this is a global issue, and reef restoration isn't something that's just exclusive to the bahamas. another winner aims to try and clear the polluted air in india.

their daughter, the youngest victim, was let down by the emergency services. just an hour before this public statement, they'd found out there was a remote possibility that their little girl, saffie rose, could have been saved with better treatment. and saffie fought that night. but unfortunately, she was let down. badly, badly let down. i believe in my heart that she would have survived had she been given the correct medical attention she needed. i do believe that. during the inquiry, experts had disagreed on whether she might have survived. for lisa, hearing there was even a remote chance is vindication of what they've always believed. so when you see it written in black and white, how does that make you feel? i've never understood how the first lot of experts could say she was unsurvivable, when even basic first aid wasn't applied. if everything was applied,

that should have been — ie, tourniquets... splinting. ..leg splinting... ..basic stuff, really. these wasn't even applied. if everything had been done and tried to save her life, and then come back and say that, then i can accept that, but i can't accept that. andrew says on the night everything went wrong, and this report confirms it. again, we've sat through the last two years of evidence and it's so hard to listen to all the excuses, the justification. erm... that basically the coordination of the emergency services that night.... and the lack of communication. ..was so wrong. everything went wrong. do you have any kind of feeling

today, that you have reached some sort of conclusion? well, saffie fought for her life. and people said that what they did was correct and adequate, and it wasn't. so, today gives us... ...that, it's ok, saffie, you did your best, but it just didn't arrive. and that's what it gives us. it was the emergency services that let her down. annabel tiffin, bbc news. the time now is 16 minutes past six. western officials say russian troops could be preparing to withdraw from part of the key ukrainian city of kherson, which they have held since march. ukraine has been trying to reclaim the city since the summer, but progress is slow and so far they've just reta ken some surrounding farmland.

kherson straddles both sides of the dnipro river. reports suggest russian commanders may be pulling troops back to the eastern side of the river, which is easier to defend. 0ur international editor jeremy bowen, cameraman fred scott and producer kathy long have spent the last few days on the front lines around kherson. in the trenches a mile or so from the russian perimeter around kherson, soldiers from the ukrainian 63rd brigade have learnt to be cautious. they're digging in for a long winter. "i love my dugout," he says. "it's going to be warm." this is the ground where months of optimistic talk from ukraine's leaders of a kherson offensive has collided with the stark reality of pushing russia back. translation: moving forward - in a counteroffensive is complicated to plan for, and it's a threat to people's lives. we have to take

account of everything. that's ourjob as commanders, to keep our men alive. 0utside mykolaiv, the city facing occupied kherson, they don't believe the russians will fold. piles of used—up tank shells show how hard it's been. 0n the mykolaiv front, the soldiers say they don't have the combat power to match russia's numbers or heavy guns. translation: they've got more. military equipment, more people. their soldiers are not trained, but they just charge forward, shouting, "hurrah". we don't have as many bullets as they have people. you can see why the kherson offensive is taking a lot of time. it's flat, open ground. they're under the russian guns. gunfire. and this is what happens

to them every day. that's why, since the summer, they've been talking about it, and it's hard to move forward. the ruins of mykolaiv�*s regional governor's office, destroyed early in the war, are a constant reminder of what russia can do. here as well, no one believes russia's defeat is inevitable. general dmytro marchenko, the commander credited with stopping the russian advance, now coordinates plans to recapture kherson. translation: first of all, we need . reactive artillery that can hit up i to 300 kilometres from us, and we need an air defence system — basics for any army in the world that wants to go on the offensive. an enemy who can do this, the general believes, cannot be

beaten without overwhelming force, which ukraine wants but does not have. clean water is trucked in to mykolaiv because russia blew up the waterworks. in the queue, someone said, "they can't bring us to our knees." defiance doesn't stop fear or anguish. "it's painful," says 0ksana. "everyone here is crying inside." they are worried too about doing this in winter, and the freeze. close by this week, russian missiles have hit civilian houses. one of the residents here was killed. people with very little have lost everything. not much was left to salvage in this house. this woman has two sons in the army. "the russians were saying hello," she said, "then

everything fell on my head." what is so difficult for people is the unpredictability of a strike that comes in the middle of the night when they think they're relatively safe at home. her neighbour, a firefighter used to rescuing others, was rescuing himself. translation: we can't stop fighting. we are on guard for our country. no one but us will protect it. i've faced this so many times. now it has come to my house. the main thing is that we are alive. everything else, we can start again. the pity of war envelops mykolaiv. the price of local victories that keep the pressure on the russians. if it comes to a battle for kherson, the price and the pity rise sharply. jeremy bowen, bbc news, mykolaiv.

and of course thanks to the camera team and producer there as well. cameraman fred scott and producer cathy long withjeremy bowen. let's take a look at today's papers. the mirror fills its front page with a photo of eight—year—old saffie—rose roussos, who was killed at the manchester arena bombing. her father tells the paper she was "badly let down" by officials. the daily mail also covers the report into the emergency response to the bombing. the paper asks, "what has happened to our 999 services?", after they were accused of falling far below the standard expected. most papers include the warning that the uk could face the longest recession in almost 100 years. the times notes that unemployment is forecast to almost double, as the bank of england raised interest rates in a bid to tackle spiralling inflation. and the metro also

leads on the economy. "this will hurt", is the headline. that's alongside a photo of the chancellorjeremy hunt, as he forecasts a very tough time forfamilies, whilst the government tries to get public finances back under control. it's the time of the morning we learn a little bit more about science. maggot therapy. what do you think of, wartime medicine? weill. science. maggot therapy. what do you think of, wartime medicine?— think of, wartime medicine? well, i think of, wartime medicine? well, i think sometimes _ think of, wartime medicine? well, i think sometimes the _ think of, wartime medicine? well, i think sometimes the maggots - think of, wartime medicine? well, i think sometimes the maggots used | think of, wartime medicine? well, i l think sometimes the maggots used to be used to clean up wounds.— be used to clean up wounds. exactly. the still be used to clean up wounds. exactly. they still are — be used to clean up wounds. exactly. they still are being _ be used to clean up wounds. exactly. they still are being used. _ be used to clean up wounds. exactly. they still are being used. maggot - they still are being used. maggot therapy has surged 50% in the nhs. it was accepted for use by the nhs in 2004. what it was accepted for use by the nhs in 200a. what happens if there is a facility in south wales which raise thousands of green bottle blow flies every year. they put them in these bio bags. imagine a tea bag. right?

it is full of larvae. they are given to the nhs every year. and what happens, as a last resort, it is for wounds that are not healing with antibiotics. what they do is they take this tea bag of larvae, and it's not even that big, no bigger than apparently one millimetre across, and it's placed on top of a wound to come out of the open tissue, covered with a dressing and they leave it for up to four days. then the little maggots feed on the dead tissue. and then they secrete these antimicrobial molecules which disinfect the wound. you know like when you fall over when you are little and the scab gets a little bit gooey? they drink all of that up. stay in the bag. they take the bag and throw it away. it's fabulous science, isn't it?— science, isn't it? en'oy your breakfast. * science, isn't it? en'oy your breakfast. friday _ science, isn't it? enjoy your breakfast. friday morning. | science, isn't it? enjoy your - breakfast. friday morning. enjoy your breakfast. this story here is

"we're going to send you to rwanda." say, why? i think it's... my family are here, why

are you going to send me to rwanda? the home office says, "we remain committed to our world—leading migration partnership with rwanda, which will see those who come to the uk through dangerous, illegal and unnecessary routes relocated so they can rebuild their lives there." the london fire brigade are warning people to take extra care this bonfire night, after last year saw their emergency calls reach a five—year high. it comes as many organised displays have been cancelled — including lewisham's event on blackheath. southwark and hammersmith & fulham council have also cancelled events, as well as a display in clissold park. let's take a look at how the tubes are running this morning. the district line is part suspended between earl's court and richmond, and that's causing severe delays between earl's court and ealing broadway. and also just to give you a heads up — another round of rail strikes start tomorrow. thousands of members of the rmt union will walk out

in the long—running row over pay, conditions and jobs, causing travel disruption. around four out of five services are expected to be cancelled. more strikes are planned for monday and wednesday, and a tube strike is planned for thursday. the advice to passengers is not to travel for most of next week. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. we had yet more rain overnight last night, but the front that's brought is clearing, any remnants aren't going to last for long, and today, a brief bit of respite as a small window of high pressure brings some sunshine. and it should stay dry throughout, the wind is light, and the temperature today reaching around 13 celsius. now, into this evening, overnight, any fireworks displays for tonight — it's good news as it remains clear. it is going to be quite chilly, though, under those clearing skies — the minimum temperature dropping to three celsius. you'll notice, though, the cloud edging in for tomorrow morning. we mightjust get a bright but chilly start, but this front will move through fairly quickly.

we'll see the cloud increasing and then outbreaks of largely light and patchy rain. as we head into the evening, perhaps a little bit drier, but still a risk of a few showers. now, temperatures tomorrow — again, 13 or 1a celsius. now, bonfire night proper on saturday is going to be a largely cloudy affair and, like i said, we still could get a few outbreaks of rain into the evening. but some drier spells, too. it is going to be a warmer night tomorrow night, but it's going to stay largely unsettled as we head through sunday and into next week. that's it from me. much more on our website and bbc radio london, but for now it's back to charlie and naga. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up on breakfast this morning... the discovery of tutankhamun's 3,000—year—old tomb is still the greatest archaeological find ever made.

100 years on, we'll learn more about the pharaoh's enduring legacy. you might associate breakdancing with 19805 pop culture — but the dance craze has been re—gaining popularity and is the newest sport to feature at the 2024 paris 0lympics. we'll find out how to get started. rugby league's kevin sinfield is preparing to run seven ultra—marathons in seven days to raise money for mnd charities — the bank of england has raised interest rates again — the biggest single increase for more than 30 years. and with warnings of a long and tough time ahead for the economy — hannah's here to break down how it may impact you. this is an ongoing story and getting very realfor a lot this is an ongoing story and getting very real for a lot of people. we very real for a lot of people. i've been to bristol, _ very real for a lot of people. is: been to bristol, london, derby very real for a lot of people. i9: been to bristol, london, derby this

week, people all over the country finding it really challenging. yes, the bank of england has raised its benchmark interest rate for the eighth time in a row — which makes borrowing more expensive. the increase by three quarters of a percentage point is the single biggest rise for more than 30 years. the bank says it's doing this to slow down the rise in the cost of living — because when people can't borrow as much, they have less to spend, and that brings down prices. but that really is a balancing act — and the bank of england is also warning the uk is facing its longest recession since records began, with the economy set to shrink for up to two years. that means the number of people out of work could nearly double to more than 1 in 20. and the interest rate rise will impact millions of people through higher mortgages — with many set to see their monthly repayments go up by hundreds of pounds. it's notjust homeowners — renters could be hit, too, as landlords pass on ever—rising costs of their own. i've been speaking to tenants who are already

feeling the squeeze. ben and chris moved into their new home and out of bristol city centre to try to save money. but they're still paying more than £1,400 a month in rent and bills. how would you describe the state of the rental market at the moment? jammed. too busy, not enough homes. people are looking to rent, but there's too many landlords turning what would be a three—bedroom house into six—bedroom, seven—bedroom houses. so the quality of the rooms you're looking at is nothing to compare to what the price is. it's just gone completely... it's just gone to the moon! the property website rightmove says the average new tenancy is now at a record high, costing 11% more than a year ago. that's partly because demand for rented homes is far outstripping supply. but landlords are also facing additional costs, which some say they have no choice

but to pass on. well, the way we try and do it actually is... devon refurbishes and rents out properties in south tyneside. she says continuing interest rate rises will have to be passed on. mortgage costs are an operating cost, so they do have an effect as they rise. my situation personally, in my business, you know, we will have some mortgages that are coming out of their fixed term over the next 12 months or so. and that is going to have an impact on our business. have you already had to put rents up? yes, we have. it's not nice to increase costs for people. and most of the time when we're doing it, it's notjust because we're profiteering and we just want to earn more money. the vast majority of the time that we have to increase rent, it's because we've had an increase in our operating costs. in london, richard's one of those forced to accept that his rent is about to go up — from £1,300 to £1,500

from next month. i'm very bitter as a renter, i'd say, about the economic situation. i'm saving with my fiancee to buy our first home, to buy a car, to have a child, to get married. and that £2,000 extra that's going to be going away from my bank account every year is very difficult to square up with. and charities say that many renters simply don't have the money to withstand rising costs. renters are one of the most vulnerable groups at the moment. nearly half have absolutely no savings to speak of, and they can't simply up sticks and move at the drop of a hat when their landlord wants to up the rent and they can't afford it. if a landlord who has chosen to invest in property is struggling with rocketing prices, imagine what the impact is on that tenant. it simply can'tjust be passed on in that way. it's not as simple as that, and people simply won't be able to afford to pay their rent. they will be evicted and they will be homeless as a result. but continuing interest rate rises will only add to the pressure

on a rental market that's already under strain and causing stress for millions of renters as they try to survive. and you can find more information, support and advice online at the cost of living section of the bbc news website. there's also a mortgage calculator to work out how much your payments could rise. we are we a re really we are really keen to appear deliver cohere from people this morning about their rent bills, mortgages, —— we are really keen to hear from people about their rent bills, mortgages, how it is affecting them. albanians account for almost a third of the 38,000 people who have crossed the channel in small boats so far this year, according to the latest government figures. albanian drug gangs are thought to be using migrant camps in northern france to recruit people to work in the uk drugs industry, by offering to pay for their journey. 0ur paris correspondent lucy williamson reports. for each boat, each migrant, there can be many smugglers. albanian fixers, uk guarantors,

kurdish criminal gangs. one man who paid for a place on a kurdish boat this summer says he was approached by recruiters for the uk drugs trade in a dunkirk migrant camp. translation: they offered me lots of things - - to pay for thejourney, to give me a job, but i wasn't interested. they asked me four or five times. this is where the albanian migrant trail begins. small towns like laknas marked by absence — the shuttered houses and empty cafes — leftovers of an exodus that's spiked this year. as the price of crossing to the uk has dropped, the suburbs around tirana are being drained of people. locals in this neighbourhood say 70% of the community has already left, and many of those living here now are thinking ofjoining them. adverts on albanian social media promise easy passage for about £3,000, with middlemen

on hand to arrange transport from brussels, paris or dunkirk. we contacted some of them, posing as an albanian client. within half an hour, we had two offers for crossings, different options for payment, and advice on claiming asylum in the uk. this system is one reason uk police say the networks are hard to break. whereas in drugs, firearms, you would see a hierarchical structure with a kingpin at the top, we don't see that with organised immigration crime. we see close associations, loose networks across that migration route. french officials say that albanians are acting as middlemen for the iraqi kurdish gangs that still control most boat crossings from france. this woman's son crossed from dunkirk last month without the help of fixers,

or even the money to pay the smugglers. a relative in england acted as guarantor, she said, and got her son across. his younger brother — just 14 years old — is already planning his own trip. each successful crossing, an invisible thread that tugs at the minds of albanians back home. lucy williamson, bbc news, dunkirk. it is time to talk to mike. good morning. it is time to talk to mike. good mornint. ,:, :, it is time to talk to mike. good mornin. _ ,:, :, :, it is time to talk to mike. good i morning._ yesterday i morning. good morning. yesterday i was really heart-warming _ morning. good morning. yesterday i was really heart-warming scene i morning. good morning. yesterday ij was really heart-warming scene that was really heart—warming scene that bronze medalfor the men's team gb in the gymnastics. now you are focusing on the women's and more success. : :, , :, , :, , focusing on the women's and more success. :, ., success. and a bit of history, how cool to be — success. and a bit of history, how cool to be able _ success. and a bit of history, how cool to be able to _ success. and a bit of history, how cool to be able to say _ success. and a bit of history, how cool to be able to say i _ success. and a bit of history, how cool to be able to say i am - success. and a bit of history, how cool to be able to say i am the i cool to be able to say i am the first to do something as a woman for my nation, at whatever age, but when you are 18 it is even cooler.

side on goal difference. west ham beat fcsb, 3—0 in romania in theirfinal europa conference league group game. they were already through, but this is now a feather in their cap with pablo fornals scoring twice. it means west ham have played six, won six — they were already out of the competition before their final group game against istanbul basaksehir, which they lost 3—1. that was the last action for a scottish club with an impressive win over australia. in front of a world record crowd for wheelchair rugby league of over 3000 at the copper box arena in london, they won 38—8. jack brown here among the players scoring two tries. england, who won it in 2008, are favourites for the title — along with the holders france. elsewhere, spain beat ireland.

this is incredible. it's a dream come true. it's something... when we were a 15—year—old kid playing this part for the first time, we never imagined anything like this before. we thought we were just having a little push around. but this is something really special. fifa has written to all 32 nations competing in the world cup, telling them the time has come to "focus on the football", with 16 days to go before the tournament begins. the world cup has been surrounded by controversy, with qatar criticised for its stance on same—sex relationships, human—rights record and treatment of migrant workers. peaceful protests have been planned by some players. qatar's world cup organisers state "everyone is welcome". to that going back to the rugby league world cup, the wheelchair rugby league, so exciting, i loved

northern ireland, as well. chilly out there this morning. still a little bit of wet weather, as well. we saw more heavy rain through the night across the south—east, five flood warnings across kent and sussex this morning but the rain is clearing, fine for the rest of the day. isolated showers in the west. in the highlands and islands of scotland, they will drift further southwards so we could hit glasgow and south—west scotland later. isolated in northern ireland, one or two for the far west of england and wales. really it today out of what we have had this week is the driest and sunniest of the week and with lighter winds. the easiest conditions to the far north scotland where a few showers will continue. further south, winds much lighter, 11 to 14 degrees, it will feel colder than you are used to but fairly typical november temperature. into the evening and overnight, dry, clear start across many parts of england, wales and scotland. rain spreads into northern ireland later on. before it arrives we will see temperatures drop quite markedly across eastern areas and so the chance of a frost for a time, milder conditions in the west first thing.

that rain in western areas will gradually push its way eastwards as we go through tomorrow. tomorrow, bright start for the early brightest in the east, rain spreads its way eastwards, heavy at times, turning lighter and catchier, but parts of scotland, northern ireland and the western fringes of england as well as wales will brighten up through the day to sunny conditions. temperatures similar to today. tomorrow evening, any plans to go to displays, stills and cloud, patchy rain in east anglia and the south—east, showers later in scotland and northern ireland but a lot of dry and clear weather to take us through saturday evening. into sunday, the area of low pressure which was hurricane martin, getting closer, bringing in more south—westerly wind once again. temperatures up a bit, some persistent rain close to east anglia and the south—east, watch out on saturated ground, but compared to saturday, showers much more widely and we will start to see some become heavy and thundery at times. a bit more sunshine between the showers and temperatures around 11 to 14 degrees. next week, the temperatures will climb a bit further still. 0nce

will climb a bit further still. once again, rain at times, much like the weekjust gone. thanks very much. see you later. it's100 years to the day since archaeologists made one of the world's greatest discoveries — tutankhamun's 3,000—year—old tomb. 0ur reporter robert hall is at the tutankhamun exhibition in dorchesterfor us this morning. it looks like a treasure trove just there. how are you? good morning. good morning, you too. it is. as you will find out a bit later on, this is a representation, completely accurate, of what howard carter, the archaeologist and his team, found when they went into the very first chamber. they found a staircase, they then went through a wall and came to this chamber, which is packed with notjust valuable items, but also mundane things. these down here are little baskets that would have contained food to help the pharaoh and his journey to the

afterlife. all of this, thousands of objects, about 5000 altogether, were found, but this was just the beginning because as they worked their way through the antechamber they came to another bricked up entrance and this is where the real journey, the real mysteries began to unfold. 33 centuries had passed i since human feet last trod the floor on which we stood. we had penetrated two chambers. but when we came. to a golden shrine — the doors closed and sealed — we realised that we were in i the presence of the dead king. legend says it was spotted by a young egyptian — the buried staircase leading to what archaeologists still call the greatest find ever made. howard carter had spent over a decade looking for it. from now on, each chapter would be

more incredible than the last. in a tiny tomb, we have everything from the royal court crammed in. we've got gold, jewellery, flowers, lunch boxes, underwear, clothes, sandals. we get a sense of the variety of material that survived from ancient egypt — some of it wonderfully beautiful, some of it really touchingly simple, as well. a golden effigy of the young king, of magnificent workmanship, i fill the hole of the interior, i laid on that golden outer lid fill the whole of the interior, laid on that golden outer lid| with a tiny wreath of flowers. news of the find was rushed here, to highclere castle — famous for its downton abbey connection nowadays, but back then, home to someone else fascinated

by the mysterious young pharaoh. the story of tutankhamun is always linked with one name — that of howard carter, the man who broke through that wall 100 years ago. but carter wouldn't have been there at all without the passion and, perhaps more importantly, the finance of another egyptologist — this man, the 5th earl of carnarvon. he was somebody who never gave up. he kept on looking for the tomb of the lost pharaoh tutankhamun. and i guess... it wasn't about treasure, — it's about knowledge and works of art. so it was a different ambition, i think, which fuelled his interest and his passion. the story sparked what became known as tutmania. from a few curious visitors, to the millions who viewed the wonders of the tomb at travelling exhibitions. i am sorry, there will be no more admission for the exhibition tonight. it is the last day, so we're

going to put it to sleep now for another 3,000 years. and hanging in the air, the legend of a pharaoh's curse on those who dared to enter the tomb. the newspapers named five men as its victims — among them, lord carnarvon himself. historians, though, have a very different explanation. carnarvon had struck this exclusive deal with the times and only they had access to the original images, and the other newspapers were finally also in the position to create their own story, finally. so maybe that's the first example of fake news. i always wondered what it was like to live through a global media event. in some ways, downton has been another media global event and, again, this house is at the centre of it, this castle. the pharaoh's treasures are back home where they belong, but the story alone is enough to capture new audiences. it's just really cool how the people from back then, without as many tools as we do now,

were able to get into such a well—guarded tomb. i love that tutankhamun's death is a mystery. no—one will really know how he died, and then maybe people in the future no—one will really know how he died, land then maybe people in the future| might find out how he's died. someone who was king at quite a young age — i mean, he was only eight so, i mean, it's quite a big responsibility. i know i'm 11 and the only thing i'm responsible of is being team captain. it's something which has happened and something which is exciting and which we want to discover more about. like tutankhamun's interlocking coffins, there are many layers to this story. howard carter's successors are still finding new pieces of the jigsaw, still solving the mysteries which remain hidden in the valley of the kings. well, obviously all of those

valuable objects went back, quite rightly, to egypt, and what has happened here in dorchester is that the team have recreated totally accurately from drawings, descriptions, items, about 100 items, from the tomb and of course items, from the tomb and of course it seems like this scenario. this is howard clark beginning the process of lifting the various coffins out of lifting the various coffins out of the sarcophagus which was in the burial chamber. michael, you are in this right from the start. what did you set out to do here? iterate this right from the start. what did you set out to do here?— this right from the start. what did you set out to do here? we first set out to make — you set out to do here? we first set out to make it— you set out to do here? we first set out to make it possible _ you set out to do here? we first set out to make it possible to _ you set out to do here? we first set out to make it possible to see i out to make it possible to see something of tutankhamun because the originals had to go back to egypt and they were not here. 15 years after the major exhibition at the british museum, we started to produce this, and the idea is not only to present the treasures, which are nice to see, but to put them in sort of context so you have some

idea going into the tomb as we have recreated, some idea of what it was like at the time it was discovered. you go in there and get the whole feel. i you go in there and get the whole feel. ~ :, , :, ., ., feel. i know you are an archaeologist - feel. i know you are an archaeologist and i feel. i know you are an i archaeologist and historian, egyptologist, what struck me as the haphazard nature of it. use all my pictures in my report where things that look like they have been chucked in, which you wouldn't expect. chucked in, which you wouldn't ex-ect. :, ,:, chucked in, which you wouldn't ex-ect. :, , ., expect. no. the point is that, firstl , expect. no. the point is that, firstly. the — expect. no. the point is that, firstly, the tomb _ expect. no. the point is that, firstly, the tomb had - expect. no. the point is that, firstly, the tomb had been i expect. no. the point is that, i firstly, the tomb had been broken into twice, so a little bit of the chaos could be because they were refilling it. but, yes, they had a tomb that was really too small for what was supposed to be buried there, so what you saw in the antechamber was literally stacked, higgledy—piggledy everywhere, just to get it in. later on, like in the burial chamber here, there was a little bit more order, but still very small, nobody quite appreciates

how difficult it was to get the coffins out of the sarcophagus. it was so tight that they had to put a scaffold over, and then, don't forget, this was very, very heavy. there were three coffins. this is the outer coffin. and that is the second coffin, but the third coffin was a solid gold. you can imagine nearly 1000 kg of gold, very heavy in a confined space. nearly1000 kg of gold, very heavy in a confined space.— nearly 1000 kg of gold, very heavy in a confined space. michael, thank ou ve in a confined space. michael, thank you very much _ in a confined space. michael, thank you very much for _ in a confined space. michael, thank you very much for talking _ in a confined space. michael, thank you very much for talking to - in a confined space. michael, thank you very much for talking to me. i l you very much for talking to me. i am just fascinated by this and there is a lot i want to talk to you about in a minute. we will be back in a little while and what i want to do thenis little while and what i want to do then is talk about the mysteries, because as i said in that report earlier, there is still so much to be discovered, so many questions. it is a story which is not over yet. it is really fascinating, as you say. we are back with you later on. for the moment, thank you. iterate

is reminding people of the danger of driving through flood water. they say they helped motorists trapped in the floods yesterday, with three people assisted to safety. they are warning of the risk of being swept away or getting stranded. their advice is to find another route or delay yourjourney. the labour mp for brighton kemptown says he is concerned that tenants are being evicted so landlords can charge more rent. the issue was raised by lloyd russell—moyle in a commons debate on the private rented sector, along with dover's mp, natalie elphicke. there are cross—party calls for the government to get rid of the so—called �*section 21 no—fault�* evictions, which some mps say makes it too easy to terminate tenancies at short notice. it is something the government has pledged to do. we see a way of assured short hold tenancies coming to an end, section 21 being used to get higher rents and pushing up inflation, sometimes above 20% in areas.

there are serious concerns about overcrowding at lewes bonfire night tomorrow. the fire service is urging people not to travel and to go to locally organised fireworks events instead. fire crews say dense crowds make it hard to get to people if there is an emergency. road closures are in place from 4.00pm tomorrow and there will also be no trains due to strike action. here's a look at the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. we've had yet more rain overnight, but the good news is it's clearing away fairly swiftly first thing from the far south—east. a brief ridge of high pressure means today is going to stay dry. with plenty of sunshine. a north—westerly flow, so feeling chilly with 13 celsius the maximum temperature. it's going to stay largely dry and clear overnight so it is going to feel quite chilly with the minimum temperature down to five celsius. the wind switches as we head into saturday morning. we see this cloud approaching, that's our next front. it's going to bring some outbreaks of rain through saturday. of course, it's bonfire night tomorrow. it is looking largely cloudy. we are likely to see further

outbreaks of mainly light and patchy rain through the evening, but some drier spells too. the unsettled conditions last through sunday, but temperatures are getting a little milder into next week. time now for our photo of the day. andi green captured this shot of a rainbow over the white cliffs of dover. don't forget, you can send us your pictures on social media using the hashtag #photo0ftheday. that's all for now. see you in half—an—hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today. keeping the lights on this winter — from today customers who agree to use less electricity at peak times can get discounts on their bills. plans for a new multi—billion pound nuclear power plant at sizewell are under review as the government

tries to find savings. after the biggest interest rate rise in more than 30 years, there's a warning that higher rents could be on the way. history is made in the gymnastics in liverpool, asjessica gadirova wins britain's first ever women's individual all—around medal at a world championships. from 80's craze to olympic sport — how breakdancing is making all the right moves. and after getting us in a spin this week, the weather has quieten down this week. a dry and sunny start. details coming up. good morning. it's friday, the 4th of november. our main story. a scheme that will allow households to qualify for money off their electricity bills, is being launched today, as part of efforts to avoid blackouts this winter. it's being trialled by energy suppliers, who will pay customers to reduce their electricity use at peak times. although power outages

are unlikely, it's part of contingency plan, as our business correspondent emma simpson reports. it's the time of day when many of us get home, put on the lights and all the appliances, as well. but millions of us could now earn money off our bills by using less electricity when demand is at its peak. julie in saffron walden is up for it. so what i've done is i've ditched the kettle and i've bought this water dispenser. and the reason i've done that is because i was finding that i was boiling the same piece of water time and time again. i hear you. she's already taken part in a small trial this year, and is signed up for the national grid's new scheme. if you've got enough notice — which normally may be the day before — you can plan around it, you can just sort of say, we're going to have dinner at this time. and i think it's a really good thing for everybody to try and do if they are able to. i think it's something that i've found that i've actually enjoyed doing as part of our lives. and you've earned some money.

earned a bit money out of it, yeah. so what's the deal with the national grid's demand flexibility scheme? there are 12 one—hour tests planned for this winter. they'll take place between 4pm and 7pm — peak time for energy use. national grid says a typical household could save £100 off their bills. but it all depends on how much energy you use, and your energy company. you need a smart meter to take part. most energy suppliers are in the process of signing up. to really reduce your electricity use, its all about the big appliances — like the washing machine, the tumble dryer and the dishwasher — using them late in the evening, or even overnight. but is the financial incentive going to be big enough to get households and businesses to take part? here at national grid, they have to balance supply and demand by the minute. they want to be able to save two

gigawatts of electricity during peak hours if needed — the equivalent of powering a million homes. it is something they have never tried on this scale before. they have got mothballed coal plant on standby as well to help this control room keep the lights on this winter in these challenging times. emma simpson, bbc news. we'rejoined now byjake rigg, who's from the national grid electricity system operator. good morning. there is lots to clarify here. let's start. for this to actually happen, first domestic customers need to be asked by their energy provider to take part? yeah. energy provider to take part? yeah, so, enert energy provider to take part? yeah, so, energy provider— energy provider to take part? yeah, so, energy provider will— energy provider to take part? yeah, so, energy provider will be - so, energy provider will be approaching people. my energy provider— approaching people. my energy provider has already approached me, my family _ provider has already approached me, my family. it will be coming out in the next _ my family. it will be coming out in the next few weeks and days. do you have to say — the next few weeks and days. do you have to say yes? _ the next few weeks and days. do you have to say yes? you _ the next few weeks and days. do you have to say yes? you have _ the next few weeks and days. do you have to say yes? you have to - the next few weeks and days. do you have to say yes? you have to opt i the next few weeks and days. do you have to say yes? you have to opt in. | have to say yes? you have to opt in. nobody will — have to say yes? you have to opt in.

spending, the bbc understands. the new business secretary, grant shapps, gave the clearest indication yet that recent commitments by former prime minister liz truss to a brand new line, eventually connecting northern towns and cities from hull to liverpool through bradford, were very likely to be scaled back. the line itself can deliver a 33 minute journey from manchester to leeds, quadruple nearly the capacity of that line, and do so without having to wait an extra 20 years beyond the delivery of what the upgrade can do. so we'll be able to provide all of that upgrade. there wasn't really much point in going and blasting new tunnels through the pennines. government officials also cast doubt on the future of sizewell c, a £25 billion project to build two new nuclear reactors at an existing site in suffolk, that promises to provide up to 7% of the uk's total electricity needs. "we are reviewing every major project, including sizewell c," said people familiar with the matter. new large scale nuclear plants has been a key part of the government's

strategy to help reduce the uk's reliance on fossil fuels. borisjohnson, while pm, declared it was his intention to build eight new reactors in the next eight years. a shift away from that position would represent a major change in uk energy policy, that some will lament, and some will celebrate. simon jack, bbc news. passengers will experience more rail disruptions from tomorrow, as workers take part in the latest day of strike action in a long—running dispute over pay, jobs and working conditions. members of the rmt union and the tssa will strike, causing disruption into sunday morning. about a fifth of britain's usual train services will run, and they'll start later and finish earlier than normal. passengers are being told to only travel by train if necessary. pakistan's former prime minister imran khan is in a stable condition after being shot in the leg at a protest rally. one person died when gunfire hit mr khan's vehicle in wazirabad.

and foggy out there. this is perth and kinross in central scotland. it is here and part of northern ireland and northern england that have the lowest temperatures. below freezing in some spots. the odd bit of frost and fog elsewhere. still some rain. heavy rain again last night a sussex and kent. that is clearing. flood warnings in force. a few showers in the west. at agley western scotland. but actually, very few of them. most of you will get through the day completely dry. good long sunny spells. it does feel colder out of there, even during the afternoon, compared to what we have been used to. but ten to 14 celsius. a fairly typical of a november day. drive for the vast majority. dry start tonight. things will change across ireland later as we see rain moving. cloud will increase elsewhere. not quick enough to stop a frost. eastern england could see that for a time. those temperatures rising tomorrow morning. that is because a

band of cloud pushes eastwards across all parts during the day, rain lingering in the afternoon in shetland, parts of eastern and southern england. elsewhere, skies will clear just southern england. elsewhere, skies will clearjust in time for bonfire night. more details later. thank you. the gap in gp care between the richest and poorest parts of england has widened, according to research for bbc newsnight. whilst people in less affluent areas on average develop chronic health conditions at a younger age and die earlier, they have fewer gps and a worse experience. here's newsnight�*s chief correspondent, david grossman. blackpool is the poorest town in england. it has the lowest life expectancy in the country. and with that, multiple complex health needs. you might assume those challenges would mean more doctors and better care. but come to places like the revoe estate, and you'll hear the opposite. you're always encouraged — anything that you suspect may be cancer. so i found a lump my lower back. it was painful.

i phoned up my gp to get an appointment and they suggested it might be better to go to the walk—in centre because i'd get seen quicker. they offered me an appointment, but it was in three weeks' time. so they were great, but they did just pack me off with some painkillers. er... there was no access to a gp, there was no referral to anybody else. ijust sit there crying. i think, what's the point of trying to phone when no—one _ wants to help you? i rely on my volunteers... christina is a youth worker at the centre. she says local kids often come to her for medical advice. they come and tell us, like, "mum tried to make me a doctor's appointment for this, but we haven't been able to, so i don't know what it is, but it's worrying me. do you think it's this, this?" and they are quite worried about it, and that's kids... they ask you for a medical diagnosis? yeah. i've got kids that are from seven to 13 coming in and asking — going, "do you think i've got this? because i've got this rash on my arm, but mum can't get me into the doctors." the uk's clearly gripped by a crisis in gp care right now, but research for newsnight suggests that that crisis is being felt even more acutely in areas like this that

are already struggling with multiple deprivations. the figures suggest that places like blackpool have far fewer gps per head of population, and far lower levels of satisfaction with their care. the experience of these residences typical of gp care in poorer areas. nardini are there fewer gps offering fewer appointments, for the care, as measured by the care quality commission, and averages of a lower standard. exclusive research for a newsnight suggests the quality of patients' experience also correlates with devil —— levels of deprivation. in other words, the poorer an area, the lower patients rated their overall gp care. surgeries are harder to reach on the phone. and when they do get an appointment, patient in poor areas read the experience lower than those in more affluent areas.

newton drive health centre in blackpool is rated as good by the care quality commission. susan green is a gp and partner. she says criticism of gps — particularly the idea that they are being lazy or uncaring — is hard to listen to. it is so devastating to be told that you're the problem. and you have to just say to yourself, "i know the reality of what i have done today. i know the reality that if i do crumble and i can't do this any more, that's another 80 appointments a week potentially lost." the pain of a struggling primary care sector isn't spread equally. places like blackpool have already suffered most. and what was really striking on our visit — no—one seemed to think that the stresses on the system were about to ease. david grossman, bbc news, blackpool. you can watch the full report on newsnight tonight at 10:30 on bbc two and iplayer.

"we're going to send you to rwanda." say, why? i think it's... my family are here, why are you going to send me to rwanda? the home office says, "we remain committed to our world—leading migration partnership with rwanda, which will see those who come to the uk through dangerous, illegal and unnecessary routes relocated so they can rebuild their lives there."

the london fire brigade are warning people to take extra care this bonfire night, after last year saw their emergency calls reach a five—year high. it comes as many organised displays have been cancelled — including lewisham's event on blackheath. southwark, hackney, and hammersmith & fulham council have also cancelled events. let's take a look at how the tubes running this morning. the district line has severe delays due to a signal failure at gunnersbury. and also just to give you a heads up — another round of rail strikes start tomorrow. thousands of members of the rmt union will walk out in the long—running row over pay, conditions and jobs, causing travel disruption. around four out of five services are expected to be cancelled. more strikes are planned for monday and wednesday, and a tube strike is planned for thursday.

the advice to passengers is not to travel for most of next week. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. we had yet more rain overnight last night, but the front that's brought is clearing, any remnants aren't going to last for long, and today, a brief bit of respite as a small window of high pressure brings some sunshine. and it should stay dry throughout, the wind is light, and the temperature today reaching around 13 celsius. now, into this evening, overnight, any fireworks displays for tonight — it's good news as it remains clear. it is going to be quite chilly, though, under those clearing skies — the minimum temperature dropping to three celsius. you'll notice, though, the cloud edging in for tomorrow morning. we mightjust get a bright but chilly start, but this front will move through fairly quickly. we'll see the cloud increasing and then outbreaks of largely light and patchy rain. as we head into the evening, perhaps a little bit drier, but still a risk of a few showers. now, temperatures tomorrow — again, 13 or 14 celsius. now, bonfire night proper on saturday is going to be

a largely cloudy affair and, like i said, we still could get a few outbreaks of rain into the evening. but some drier spells, too. it is going to be a warmer night tomorrow night, but it's going to stay largely unsettled as we head through sunday and into next week. that's it from me. much more on our website and bbc radio london. i'll be back in an hour, but for now it's back to charlie and naga. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. a record number of people have crossed the english channel in small boats this year. almost 40,000 migrants have made the journey — the highest number since records began in 2018. it comes as campaigners are threatening legal action against the home secretary, suella braverman — over conditions at the manston migrant holding centre. simonjones is in

dover this morning. a very wet dover. good morning. it shows the conditions that people are coming in all the time, but the pressure, i think, coming in all the time, but the pressure, ithink, increasing ever more suella braverman to show, especially after her visit yesterday, that something will be done quickly. yesterday, that something will be done quickly-— done quickly. yes, it's going to take only _ done quickly. yes, it's going to take only around _ done quickly. yes, it's going to take only around another - done quickly. yes, it's going to take only around another 50 i done quickly. yes, it's going to - take only around another 50 people orso take only around another 50 people or so making the crossing before we reach that 40,000 mile stone. the weather has put paid to any more journeys overnight and it may remain choppy in the channel 4 the rest of today, but suella braverman did come today, but suella braverman did come to dover yesterday. she was down there in the port. she is the latest home secretary to say she wants to make the route unviable. she refused to speak to the media on her visit yesterday, but she did say in a statement afterwards that innovative new solutions are needed to tackle the crossing. she didn't give any

details, though, on what those solutions might possibly be. in the short term, the focus is very much on the detention centre, around 20 miles from here, where migrants are taken once they [and here in dover, for their initial processing. we have heard stories over the past week of overcrowding there, disease spreading, the site was designed to hold around 1600 people maximum, but it has been holding 4000. that was the figure at the weekend. the government has been moving people out. it said last night that there were 2700 people still on site, but thatis were 2700 people still on site, but that is far in excess still of what the site was designed for. the government says it is making improvements there, it says it is improving the medical facilities, improving the medical facilities, improving activities for the migrants who are based on the site, improving catering facilities. and there is extra bedding being brought in. now, the local mp, sir roger gale, after the visit said that he

believed suella braverman had understood the scale of the challenge they were facing there, and this was not the right place to hold people for any length of time. and that could be challenged in the courts, because there are potentially two legal challenges the government are facing. one of them is being brought by a group called detention action along with a woman who said she spent around 20 days at the site. they are arguing that women and children are being forced to sleep alongside men that they are not related to, and that is creating a safeguarding risk. they say people inside are not being given access to proper legal advice, and they are saying this whole site is holding people illegally. now the government is stressing that it cannot simply leave people destitute but is acknowledging that things need to be done. now, afterthe acknowledging that things need to be done. now, after the visit yesterday, we are expecting today the immigration minister robert jenrick to come here to dover once again. he was there yesterday, he will meet with the local mp natalie

elphicke, and also meet councillors and residents. it is elphicke, and also meet councillors and residents.— and residents. it is an extensive kind of list _ and residents. it is an extensive kind of list of— and residents. it is an extensive kind of list of the _ and residents. it is an extensive kind of list of the picture - and residents. it is an extensive kind of list of the picture of- and residents. it is an extensive | kind of list of the picture of what is happening. simonjones, thank you so much. we're joined now by policing minister chris philp. he is part of the home office. very good morning to you, thank you for your time. good morning to you, thank you for our time. .., ., good morning to you, thank you for our time. ,., ., ., good morning to you, thank you for your time-_ do - good morning to you, thank you for your time._ do you i good morning to you, thank you for i your time._ do you want your time. good morning. do you want to 'ust ick your time. good morning. do you want to just pick up — your time. good morning. do you want to just pick up on _ your time. good morning. do you want to just pick up on issues _ your time. good morning. do you want to just pick up on issues down - your time. good morning. do you want to just pick up on issues down in - tojust pick up on issues down in devon? in kent, in dover. and just tell us the basic statistics as you know them this morning in terms of the numbers. take us through the detail. ., . . ., the numbers. take us through the detail. . , , ., , detail. there has been a very substantial _ detail. there has been a very substantial effort _ detail. there has been a very substantial effort in - detail. there has been a very substantial effort in the - detail. there has been a very substantial effort in the last. detail. there has been a very - substantial effort in the last seven days to reduce the number of people in the manston camp. i believe about 1000 people or slightly over 1000 have come out of that camp in the course of the last week, so very substantial reduction in numbers. in addition to that there been a lot of work done to improve the facilities and also build additional accommodation on that site. in the last seven days, we have seen, i

think, very dramatic improvement in the circumstances there. it has obviously been very challenging, as you said a second ago, or simon jones said a second ago, in his report. but the truth of it is, it is very, very difficult to deal with this enormous influx of people. about 40,000 people have come into the united kingdom on small boats across the english channel so far this year. that has put enormous pressure on the system because, at the same time as those people have arrived, we have also welcomed 150,000 ukrainians, over100,000 150,000 ukrainians, over 100,000 people 150,000 ukrainians, over100,000 people have arrived from hong kong that are fleeing persecution by the chinese communist party. we have welcomed about 23,000 people from afghanistan, and before that we brought over about 20,000 people from syria. we have been very generous, the uk has been very generous, the uk has been very generous to people who are fleeing persecution. but these 40,000 channel crossings have really put enormous pressure on the system. those crossings of course are illegal... those crossings of course are illeaal... v those crossings of course are illegal- - -_ those crossings of course are illeal... �*, ., ~' ., ,., illegal... let's talk about manston, i want to illegal... let's talk about manston, i want to bring _ illegal... let's talk about manston, i want to bring you _ illegal. .. let's talk about manston, i want to bring you back— illegal... let's talk about manston, i want to bring you back to - illegal... let's talk about manston, l i want to bring you back to manston. no, if i may, iwant

raising issues to do with vetting, where vetting procedures had not been properly applied. there was issues of significant concern and questions answered in parliament i think yesterday about that. there were 43 recommendations made, three for the home office, 44 the police, and police organisations. and we need to make sure those recommendations are all acted on —— 40 four the police. we need to make sure the vetting processes and the conduct questions get properly addressed. forthat conduct questions get properly addressed. for that small minority, where there are problems and concerns. where there are problems and concerns-— where there are problems and concerns. ., . , concerns. your 'udgment was called into question — concerns. yourjudgment was called into question because _ concerns. yourjudgment was called into question because of— concerns. yourjudgment was called into question because of your - into question because of your backing for a liz truss' plans for the mini budget. you told this programme that you supported it very clearly at the time. the governor of the bank of england has now said the uk's standing had been damaged by the mini budget. we are facing a lengthy recession, a significant rise in unemployment. are you in a

position now when you would wish to apologise for your own role in that, given what we now know has happened? i was a minister at the time, as you say. the decisions around the mini budget were taken by the then prime minister and principally likely then prime minister and to a lesser extent the then chancellor. she apologise shortly afterwards and obviously is no longer in office. things like the currency and bond yields, which deteriorated four or five weeks ago, i now back to levels that are pretty similar to where they were previously. you mentioned unemployment. unemployment is currently at the lowest level it has been for 48 years. you mention to the bank of england... haifa been for 48 years. you mention to the bank of england... now expected to no the bank of england. .. now expected to no u- the bank of england... now expected to go up dramatically _ the bank of england... now expected to go up dramatically into _ the bank of england... now expected to go up dramatically into next - to go up dramatically into next year. to go up dramatically into next ear. ~ .., to go up dramatically into next ear. ~ ,., . to go up dramatically into next ear. ~ . ., year. well, so, there are global economic— year. well, so, there are global economic challenges. _ year. well, so, there are global economic challenges. they - year. well, so, there are global economic challenges. they are | year. well, so, there are global i economic challenges. they are not unique to the uk. inflation in the eurozone is about 10%, the same as here. in germany it is 12%, in holland i think even 14%. we have seenjacob morgan talk about the seen jacob morgan talk about the likelihood of a recession in

shouldn't be able to be done by the human body. and now a bit of history. another historic night for great britain at the world gymnastics championships in liverpool. jessica gadirova made history, securing the nation's first all—around final medal in the women's artistic gymnastics. gadirova had been part of the british squad who claimed team silver a couple of days ago, and the dublin—born18—year—old followed that with a brilliant effort last night to take bronze. all those weeks, months, of training, paying off in the routine. and gadirova's team—mate alice kinsella finished fourth. next to a night of heavy metal at the copper box in london, as england won their opening match of the wheelchair rugby league world cup against australia. in front of a world record crowd, for wheelchair rugby league of over 3,000, england won 38—8. jack brown here, among the players scoring two tries. and look at this for a big hit on the captain tom halliwell — not for the faint—hearted. but he picked himself up and carried on and later said on social media, "safe to say i lost this battle."

they are incredible, and they? today it's france vs wales and scotland against usa, in sheffield. both games live on bbc two, from 1045. now football, and fifa has written to all 32 nations competing in the world cup, telling them the time has come to, "focus on the football", with 16 days to go before the tournament begins. the world cup has been surrounded by controversy, with qatar criticised for its stance on same—sex relationships, human rights record, and treatment of migrant workers. in response, peaceful protests have been planned by some players. qatar's world cup organisers state "everyone is welcome". but it is going to be a very testing month, isn't it, it is fair to say, when the world cup begins, to see what protests are made and what statements are made by teams and players.

with audiences that for years had felt under—represented in the superhero genre. it will not change under my watch. this movie looks to build on that success, with a predominantly black cast and many strong female characters. the feeling it gives me, as a woman of colour, to see my story reflected back — still gives me a rush of exhilaration to be seen. so i have a feeling we could do with more and more. they deserve to be up there on the big screen and seen in this way, and ijust really would love to see more of that. for the fans here on the black carpet this evening, tonight is one of mixed emotions. there's an energy and excitement, as you can see, that the black panther is back on the silver screen, but also a sense of mourning, of sadness, actually, because chadwick boseman — king t'challa himself — isn't here to see this legacy of creating a character that speaks to an audience that many other superheroes simply don't.

respecting chadwick and what he started us off with is the way forward. and ryan was so smart and just honest enough to embrace the loss and make this film about loss, and about what we do when we lose somebody — because we all experience it at one point or another. and so i think it's going to really resonate with people, and the honesty of it will surprise people. for me, the most important thing is just thinking about the why. why are we moving forward? why are we continuing this without him, you know? and what would he have wanted? and i feel very strongly from the guidance of our director that this is something that he would be proud of. so this movie has to tread a fine line — pay respect to chadwick boseman's legacy, but at the same time reframing the franchise, so it can have more critical, commercial and cultural success in the future. he was a guy who worked up until his last days. he produced great art up until his last days.

he had incredible collaborations up until his last days. so, for us, they were one and the same. you know, like, if we were going to do it for him, we had to do it in a way that would move things forward. and there's clearly an appetite for its return — the trailer gathered 172 million views in its first 24 hours online. it bodes well for marvel studios, who want to keep fans happy and buying cinema tickets. we'll find out if it's worked when the film opens to the public on the 11th of november. steffan powell, bbc news. great drama. from that kind of drama to break dancing, which is dramatic. did you try it as a kid? ila. to break dancing, which is dramatic. did you try it as a kid?— did you try it as a kid? no. did you really think— did you try it as a kid? no. did you really think i _ did you try it as a kid? no. did you really think i had? _ did you try it as a kid? no. did you really think i had? i _ did you try it as a kid? no. did you really think i had? i don't i did you try it as a kid? no. did you really think i had? i don't know. i did you try it as a kid? no. did you really thinki had? i don't know. i. really thinki had? i don't know. i did, i really thinki had? i don't know. i did. iwas— really thinki had? i don't know. i did, i was useless _ really thinki had? i don't know. i did, i was useless at _ really thinki had? i don't know. i did, i was useless at it. i really thinki had? i don't know. i did, i was useless at it. any i really thinki had? i don't know. i did, i was useless at it. any time j did, i was useless at it. any time of day, it is probably pretty tough that it of day, it is probably pretty tough thatitis of day, it is probably pretty tough

best chance at a medal. here he is competing at the world championships in seoul. since i was young, since i started, i always wanted to be the best in the world. one, two, three... i've always strived for that to be the best at what i do, and the olympics is the best of the best, it's the top of the game, so... and even just to get there would be incredible. but to win something like that, or represent the country, would be incredible. andjump, over, and pose. as a sport, it has come so far. born on the streets of new york back in the late 1960s. including everything from spinning on your hands, to your head. and here is the british team performing in 1984, when they appeared on bbc breakfast time in the world's first breakdancing championship. i think that the british crew still has to learn to put their routines together a little more creatively, and get

a little more synchronisation. fast forward three and a half decades... ..and breaking is again raising its profile here in the uk. this weekend, manchester is hosting the european championships and, for the last few months, these children have been taking dance lessons. close together — oooh, very nice. like this! exactly. it actually makes me feel happy. would you be doing if you weren't doing this? i would be watching tiktoks and just eating junk food. so you go right, left, toe. it makes me feel really good because i'm actually, like, i doing stuff that i never thought i'd be able to do _ you get to see theirjourney, learning breaking and getting themselves into something that's new to them, and that you only get when you start learning. so it's really nice to see them progress. one whip, one swing, and see how many spins you get.

it's all funded by manchester city council, as many of these children wouldn't be able to afford the classes. so harpurhey is the second—most deprived ward in england. really high levels of poverty — 60% of free school meals — and we give free meals at the end of every session, you know? and itjust raises confidence and their self—belief that there is a world out there that they can grasp and get opportunities from. one, two... it sort of filters down to the next generations — having the championships, having things that are visible to the next generation. we have these amazing kids here that get the opportunity to come to great clubs like this. and then we turn... when you see these young kids from — notjust here, but all over the world — who are incredible and they're way more advanced than i was. having opportunities like this, knowing that maybe somebody in this room today could become an olympic medallist, is... yeah, it's life changing, really. and when you do head spins, does that hurt your head? not really, no. i've got used to it over the years, where i've developed sort

of a stronger sort of neck, head, to get used to the textures. and now i have a really good head spin. it's what i'm known for — it's one of my special moves, so... it doesn't hurt me. so this is at the easier end of the spectrum, but you might see this at the olympics in two years' time. she laughs. i need a bit more practice. but for now, all eyes are on this weekend's championships — which will hopefully be the stepping stone to karam's gb olympic dream. fiona lamdin, bbc news. well, we are going to meet lauren, the teacher come in a minute, but let me show you what she can do.

keeping the lights on this winter — a new scheme launches which will see customers offered cheaper bills if they agree to use less electricity at peak times. plans for a new multi—billion pound nuclear power plant at sizewell are under review as the government tries to find savings. after the biggest interest rate rise in more than 30 years — there's a warning that higher rents could be on the way. the parents of the youngest victim of the manchester arena bombing say she was badly let down by the emergency services. saffie fought that night. but unfortunately, she was let down. badly, badly let down. i believe in my heart that she would have survived. it isa it is a frosty and foggy start to friday but of the driest and sunniest.

good morning. it's friday, lith november. a scheme that will allow households to qualify for money off their electricity bills is being launched today, as part of efforts to avoid blackouts this winter. it's being trialled by energy suppliers, who will pay customers to reduce their electricity use at peak times. although power outages are unlikely, it forms part of a contingency plan, as our business correspondent emma simpson reports. it's the time of day when many of us get home, put on the lights and all the appliances, as well. but millions of us could now earn money off our bills by using less electricity when demand is at its peak. julie in saffron walden is up for it. so what i've done is i've ditched the kettle and i've bought this water dispenser. and the reason i've done that is because i was finding that i was boiling the same piece of water time and time again. i hear you. she's already taken part in a small trial this year, and is signed up

for the national grid's new scheme. if you've got enough notice — which normally may be the day before — you can plan around it, you can just sort of say, we're going to have dinner at this time. and i think it's a really good thing for everybody to try and do if they are able to. i think it's something that i've found that i've actually enjoyed doing as part of our lives. and you've earned some money. earned a bit money out of it, yeah. so what's the deal with the national grid's demand flexibility scheme? there are 12 one—hour tests planned for this winter. they'll take place between 4pm and 7pm — peak time for energy use. national grid says a typical household could save £100 off their bills. but it all depends on how much energy you use, and your energy company. you need a smart meter to take part. most energy suppliers are in the process of signing up. to really reduce your electricity use, it's all about the big appliances — like the washing machine, the tumble

dryer and the dishwasher — using them late in the evening, or even overnight. but is the financial incentive going to be big enough to get households and businesses to take part? here at national grid, they have to balance supply and demand by the minute. they want to be able to save two gigawatts of electricity during peak hours if needed — the equivalent of powering a million homes. we haven't said in previous years there is a significant or potential risk, however unlikely, black outs. we don't normally go out and say that. this year, because of the unprecedented situation, we are saying, we have to warn the public there is a possibility of it, however remote. that is why we are putting in these extra tools. they've got mothballed coal plants on standby, as well —

all to help this control room keep the lights on this winter in these challenging times. emma simpson, bbc news, reading. plans for a new nuclear power plant in sizewell in suffolk are under review as the government looks to try to cut spending. (naga)a high—speed rail line promised for the north of england could also be scaled back. a treasury spokesperson has insisted infrastructure projects remain "a priority". here's our business editor, simonjack. major energy infrastructure and transport projects, including a new nuclear plant in suffolk, and a new rail line in the north of england, are under review and could be delayed, watered down or even scrapped, as the government tries to cut spending, the bbc understands. the new business secretary, grant shapps, gave the clearest indication yet that recent commitments by former prime minister liz truss to a brand new line, eventually connecting northern towns and cities from hull to liverpool through bradford, were very likely to be scaled back. the line itself can deliver a 33 minute journey from manchester to leeds, quadruple nearly the capacity of that line, and do

so without having to wait an extra 20 years beyond the delivery of what the upgrade can do. so we'll be able to provide all of that upgrade. there wasn't really much point in going and blasting new tunnels through the pennines. government officials also cast doubt on the future of sizewell c, a £25 billion project to build two new nuclear reactors at an existing site in suffolk, that promises to provide up to 7% of the uk's total electricity needs. "we are reviewing every major project, including sizewell c," said people familiar with the matter. new large scale nuclear plants has been a key part of the government's strategy to help reduce the uk's reliance on fossil fuels. borisjohnson, while pm, declared it was his intention to build eight new reactors in the next eight years. a shift away from that position would represent a major change in uk energy policy, that some will lament, and some will celebrate. simon jack, bbc news.

the northern ireland secretary has announced he will not call a fresh stormont assembly election in december. chris heaton—harris says he has listened to concerns about the impact and cost of an election and says he will make a statement to parliament next week. the deadline to restore the power—sharing executive at stormont passed last month following the election in may. the immigration minister, robertjenrick, is due to visit dover today to discuss concerns about the number of people who have crossed the english channel in small boats this year. almost 40,000 migrants have so far made the journey, the highest number since records began in 2018. the meeting comes as campaigners are threatening legal action against the home secretary, suella braverman, over conditions at the manston migrant holding centre. king charles is to host a reception at buckingham palace this afternoon, as part of preparations for the cop27 climate conference in egypt. it was announced last month that the monarch would not be travelling to the summit, following discussions with the then

prime minister, liz truss. our royal correspondent, sarah campbell, reports. this time last year, glasgow hosted cop26, with the then prince of wales taking a leading role. key decision makers from nearly 200 countries spent two weeks trying to agree practical targets and measures to help alleviate the climate crisis. shortly afterwards, the royal couple visited egypt, and cop27 was very much on the agenda. the united kingdom will be with egypt as your friend and partner in this epic struggle to protect and restore our environment. the king has championed the fight against climate change for decades, and many had assumed he would want to travel to sharm el—sheikh in person. according to palace sources, advice was sought from the government, then led by liz truss, and the decision taken that king charles should not go. that decision stands despite the change in prime minister, although a downing street spokeswoman indicated yesterday

that had mr sunak been in post earlier, his majesty may have gone, after all. his majesty, of course, is a great supporter of this issue, has been for very many decades, almost a lifetime. and he's seen as a leader on this around the world. he was there in paris, he was there in glasgow. and this is a matter between the palace and the government. but whatever happens, his majesty will be there with us in spirit in egypt. so rather than travelling to sharm el—sheikh, a palace spokesperson said, the king's focus is on the pre—cop reception, where senior business leaders, experts and ngos can discuss the important work of the summit, and explore the ways in which public private partnership can help tackle climate change. among those due to attend the buckingham palace reception today, will be the us special presidential envoy for climate, secretaryjohn kerry. 0n the agenda, the terra carta, the initiative founded by the king when he was prince of wales, and which aims to encourage the private sector to

commit to sustainability. also making an appearance at the palace reception, the prime minister, rishi sunak. earlier this week, he reversed his decision not to attend cop27, and along with world leaders, including the presidents of the us and france, will now travel to egypt. sarah campbell, bbc news. a christmas stamp collection featuring queen elizabeth ii has been released by royal mail. it will be the last time the queen's silhouette will feature on a festive stamp. the set of six art deco—style stamps depict moments from the nativity. the minutest art deco—style stamps depict mon little from the nativity. the minutest art deco—style stamps depict mon little fro nippy nativity. the minutest art deco—style stamps depict mon little fro nippy is tivity. the minutest art deco—style stamps depict mon little fro nippy is myzy. morning. a little bit nippy is my analysis of the morning so far. how am i doing? i analysis of the morning so far. how am i doing?— analysis of the morning so far. how am i doing? i think that is a erfect how am i doing? i think that is a perfect way _ how am i doing? i think that is a perfect way to — how am i doing? i think that is a perfect way to sum _ how am i doing? i think that is a perfect way to sum up _ how am i doing? i think that is a perfect way to sum up this - how am i doing? i think that is a - perfect way to sum up this morning. very cold this morning. notjust cold. i want to draw your attention to parts of the south—east. across

if not for the emergency services inadequacies. it also found that the youngest victim, eight—year—old saffie—rose roussos, was highly unlikely to have survived her injuries, but the possibility couldn't be ruled out if she had received better treatment. annabel tiffin was with saffie's family as the inquiry chairman sirjohn saunders delivered his findings. as they watch sirjohn saunders, andrew and lisa roussos face an unbearable truth. their daughter, the youngest victim, was let down by the emergency services. just an hour before this public statement, they'd found out there was a remote possibility that their little girl, saffie rose, could have been saved with better treatment. and saffie fought that night. but unfortunately, she was let down. badly, badly let down. i believe in my heart that she would have survived had she been given the correct medical attention she needed. i do believe that.

during the inquiry, experts had disagreed on whether she might have survived. for lisa, hearing there was even a remote chance is vindication of what they've always believed. so when you see it written in black and white, how does that make you feel? i've never understood how the first lot of experts could say she was unsurvivable, when even basic first aid wasn't applied. if everything was applied, that should have been — ie, tourniquets... splinting. ..leg splinting... ..basic stuff, really. these wasn't even applied. if everything had been done and tried to save her life, and then come back and say that, then i can accept that, but i can't accept that. andrew says on the night everything went wrong, and this report confirms it. again, we've sat through the last two years of evidence and it's so hard to listen to all the excuses,

the justification. that basically the coordination of the emergency services that night.... and the lack of communication. ..was so wrong. everything went wrong. do you have any kind of feeling today, that you have reached some sort of conclusion? well, saffie fought for her life. and people said that what they did was correct and adequate, and it wasn't. so, today gives us... ...that, it's ok, saffie, you did your best, but it just didn't arrive. and that's what it gives us.

"we're going to send you to rwanda." say, why? i think it's... my family are here, why are you going to send me to rwanda? the home office says,

"we remain committed to our world—leading migration partnership with rwanda, which will see those who come to the uk through dangerous, illegal and unnecessary routes relocated so they can rebuild their lives there." the london fire brigade are warning people to take extra care this bonfire night, after last year saw their emergency calls reach a five—year high. it comes as many organised displays have been cancelled, including lewisham's event on blackheath. southwark, hackney and hammersmith and fulham council have also cancelled events. and we'll have much more on those cancelled events, and what fireworks displays are still going ahead on tonight's programme at 6.30. let's take a look at how the tube's running this morning. the district line has severe delays due to a signal failure at gunnersbury. and just to give you a heads up — another round of rail

strikes start tomorrow. thousands of members of the rmt union will walk out in the long—running row over pay, conditions and jobs, causing travel disruption. around four out of five services are expected to be cancelled. the advice to passengers is not to travel for most of next week. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. we had yet more rain overnight last night, but the front that's brought it is clearing, any remnants aren't going to last for long, and today, a brief bit of respite as a small window of high pressure brings some sunshine. and it should stay dry throughout, the wind is light, and the temperature today reaching around 13 celsius. now, into this evening, overnight, any fireworks displays for tonight — it's good news as it remains clear. it is going to be quite chilly, though, under those clearing skies — the minimum temperature dropping to three celsius. you'll notice, though, the cloud edging in for tomorrow morning. we mightjust get a bright but chilly start, but this front will move through fairly quickly. we'll see the cloud increasing and then outbreaks of largely

light and patchy rain. as we head into the evening, perhaps a little bit drier, but still a risk of a few showers. now, temperatures tomorrow — again, 13 or ill celsius. now, bonfire night proper on saturday is going to be a largely cloudy affair and, like i said, we still could get a few outbreaks of rain into the evening. but some drier spells, too. it is going to be a warmer night tomorrow night, but it's going to stay largely unsettled as we head through sunday and into next week. that's it from me. much more on our website and bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour, but for now it's back to charlie and naga. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. we're on bbc one until 9:15 this morning — then it's time for morning live with kimberly and rev.

money in the household. this comes as the news that we got yesterday, the announcement at lunchtime that the bank of england has raised interest rates again — the biggest single increase for more than 30 years. and with warnings of a long and tough time ahead for the economy — hannah's here to break down how it may impact you. we have spoken already about the prospect of rising interest rates and now they are here, it is really happening and it really starts happening and it really starts happening in real life. it affects mortgages. _ happening in real life. it affects mortgages, credit _ happening in real life. it affects mortgages, credit cards, - happening in real life. it affects| mortgages, credit cards, loans, happening in real life. it affects - mortgages, credit cards, loans, and we will come on in a second to how it affects renters, as well. yes, the bank of england has raised its benchmark interest rate for the eighth time in a row — which makes borrowing more expensive. the increase by three quarters of a percentage point is the single biggest rise for more than 30 years. the bank says it's doing this to slow down the rise in the cost of living — because when people can't borrow as much, they have less to spend, and that brings down prices. but that really is a balancing act — and the bank of england is also warning the uk is facing its longest

recession since records began, with the economy set to shrink for up to two years. that means the number of people out of work could nearly double to more than one in twenty. and at the same time, the interest rate rise will impact millions of people through higher mortgages — with many set to see their monthly repayments go up by hundreds of pounds. it's notjust homeowners — renters could be hit, too — as landlords pass on ever—rising costs of their own. i've been speaking to tenants who are already feeling the squeeze. ben and chris moved into their new home and out of bristol city centre to try to save money. but they're still paying more than £1,1i00 a month in rent and bills. how would you describe the state of the rental market at the moment? jammed. too busy, not enough homes. people are looking to rent, but there's too many landlords

turning what would be a three—bedroom house into six—bedroom, seven—bedroom houses. so the quality of the rooms you're looking at is nothing to compare to what the price is. it's just gone completely... it's just gone to the moon! the property website rightmove says the average new tenancy is now at a record high, costing 11% more than a year ago. that's partly because demand for rented homes is far outstripping supply. but landlords are also facing additional costs, which some say they have no choice but to pass on. well, the way we try and do it actually is... devon refurbishes and rents out properties in south tyneside. she says continuing interest rate rises will have to be passed on. mortgage costs are an operating cost, so they do have an effect as they rise. my situation personally, in my business, you know, we will have some mortgages that are coming out of their fixed term

over the next 12 months or so. and that is going to have an impact on our business. have you already had to put rents up? yes, we have. it's not nice to increase costs for people. and most of the time when we're doing it, it's notjust because we're profiteering and we just want to earn more money. the vast majority of the time that we have to increase rent, it's because we've had an increase in our operating costs. in london, richard's one of those forced to accept that his rent is about to go up — from £1,300 to £1,500 from next month. i'm very bitter as a renter, i'd say, about the economic situation. i'm saving with my fiancee to buy our first home, to buy a car, to have a child, to get married. and that £2,000 extra that's going to be going away from my bank account every year is very difficult to square up with. and charities say that many renters simply don't have the money to withstand rising costs.

renters are one of the most vulnerable groups at the moment. nearly half have absolutely no savings to speak of, and they can't simply up sticks and move at the drop of a hat when their landlord wants to up the rent and they can't afford it. if a landlord who has chosen to invest in property is struggling with rocketing prices, imagine what the impact is on that tenant. it simply can'tjust be passed on in that way. it's not as simple as that, and people simply won't be able to afford to pay their rent. they will be evicted and they will be homeless as a result. but continuing interest rate rises will only add to the pressure on a rental market that's already under strain and causing stress for millions of renters as they try to survive. and you can find more information, support and advice online at the cost of living section of the bbc news website. there's also a mortgage calculator to work out how much your payments could rise. we've had a few comments on this. rich on twitter says, "landlords just see renting out a house a cash cow, and due to demand they don't care about increasing the cost

as they know someone will pay it." there are of course some who were put up the rent because they know they can get the money. we have spoken to others who feel genuinely bad about passing on these costs. thank you very much. it leads nicely to mike. costs being passed on, people start making decisions. sacrifices potentially.— sacrifices potentially. none of those decisions... _ sacrifices potentially. none of those decisions... sport - sacrifices potentially. none of those decisions... sport is - sacrifices potentially. none of those decisions... sport is by| sacrifices potentially. none of. those decisions... sport is by no means exempt. those decisions. .. sport is by no means exempt.— those decisions... sport is by no means exempt. football fans, the last thing they _ means exempt. football fans, the last thing they want _ means exempt. football fans, the last thing they want to _ means exempt. football fans, the last thing they want to budget - means exempt. football fans, the last thing they want to budget on | means exempt. football fans, the | last thing they want to budget on is going to be their beloved club. it may be their one social outing a week, when they meet with other fans. certainly going to away matches, if there are two or three of you, it could be £150. the early evidence is that some fans will be put off going to these matches and that hits the finances of the clubs involved, especially lower down the lake. , , , we

lake. this is being looked into? we have a special— lake. this is being looked into? we have a special report. _ a fans group, the football supporters association, says it's "very concerned" after a survey found a quarter of fans at non—league clubs expect to go to fewer matches this winter, because of the cost—of—living crisis. it's another blow to clubs already struggling with rising bills. but despite that, one club is opening its doors to help its local community — as our sports correspondent andy swiss reports. a november night at non—league chesterfield, and a victory over visitors gateshead for their fans to cheer. cheering. but this is a club now offering far more than just football. hi, everybody, you all right? it's opened its doors as a warm hub for the local community, where people like brenda can come for hot drink and some welcome respite amid the cost—of—living crisis. it means a lot. come here for company, and t'food's nice and it keeps me warm in t'winter. if we can take a little bit of that pressure away and say,

actually, every night, come here — there will be food, there will be heating — i hope that that gives families that a little bit of comfort. and fans are proud that their town, their club, is opening up to people in a time of unprecedented worry. but fans are facing their own financial pressures. finding the money to support their team is more challenging than ever. it's notjust the price of the tickets, it's the price of what you buy inside. so obviously i've got my coffee here but the price of that's going up. getting into to...come to the match, parking, etc. i mean, to go to a london game for us, it's £150 for one game. you know? and that's like...three weeks' shopping for me. well, a survey by the football supporters association's found nearly a quarter of non—league fans expect to attend fewer matches this winter because of the cost—of—living crisis. and when it comes to travelling to away fixtures, nearly half say they'll be cutting back.

clubs will be very, very concerned to hear that fans are thinking about staying away from games or spending less because it's going to be a very, very tricky winter for a lot of football clubs if they're going to be losing a significant portion of their matchday income. and with clubs also facing soaring energy bills — especially for floodlights — the emphasis is simply on survival. we're looking at every angle we can. can we turn floodlights off earlier after a match? can we turn them on later before the game? i know some clubs have looked at kick—off times, and i think we're in the territory at the moment of we don't rule anything out. do you fear some clubs might go under? i think it's... it's a constant threat that some could go under. we'll make sure that we're all right here — one way or another, we'll get through it. from fans, to clubs, to communities, though, a challenging winter awaits — of battles on the pitch, but even bigger battles off it. andy swiss, bbc news, chesterfield.

certainly challenging times ahead but in a funny way, just like during the pandemic, these crises sometimes been communities and clubs and fans together. there is no sport i don't think in which the fans are closer to the clubs and the players and the community get as a whole than in rugby league, which... well... hello, kevin.— rugby league, which... well... i hello, kevin._ you rugby league, which... well... - hello, kevin._ you are hello, kevin. good morning. you are obviously right- _ hello, kevin. good morning. you are obviously right. it _ hello, kevin. good morning. you are obviously right. it is _ hello, kevin. good morning. you are obviously right. it is obviously - obviously right. it is obviously what kevin has been doing that shows that sense of community. if you're a regular breakfast viewer, you'll be familiar with marathon man kevin sinfield, who is continuing his mammoth fundraising effort for mnd charities, inspired by his friend and former team—mate, rob burrow. next sunday, kevin will embark on his biggest challenge yet — to run more than 300 miles in one week. he'll be starting the ultra 7 challenge from murrayfield stadium in edinburgh, before finishing on the pitch at old trafford at half time in the men's rugby league world cup final. kevin joins us now.

is at the tutankhamun exhibition in dorchesterfor us this morning. good morning to you. best explain straightaway the bits we can see around you there are exact replicas of what was discovered.— around you there are exact replicas of what was discovered. yeah, that's ri . ht. this of what was discovered. yeah, that's right- this is — of what was discovered. yeah, that's right. this is what _ of what was discovered. yeah, that's right. this is what howard _ of what was discovered. yeah, that's right. this is what howard carter- right. this is what howard carter would have seen when he broke through the first wall. he found a flight of steps, went down, broke through. this is an antechamber to the actual tomb. what was extraordinary about this room was it was packed with objects. some of them incredibly valuable, covered in gold will stop others quite humble, if you like. furniture, shoes. bits and pieces of household stuff. this, for example, is a pile of baskets containing food to help the faroe into the afterlife. but of course the antechamber it was just the first little bit of this

extraordinary journey through the tomb complex figure through this wall was the tomb of the pharaoh himself. 33 centuries had passed i since human feet last trod the floor on which we stood. we had penetrated two chambers. but when we came. to a golden shrine — the doors closed and sealed — we realised that we were in i the presence of the dead king. legend says it was spotted by a young egyptian — the buried staircase leading to what archaeologists still call the greatest find ever made. howard carter had spent over a decade looking for it. from now on, each chapter would be more incredible than the last. in a tiny tomb, we have everything from the royal court crammed in. we've got gold, jewellery,

flowers, lunch boxes, underwear, clothes, sandals. we get a sense of the variety of material that survived from ancient egypt — some of it wonderfully beautiful, some of it really touchingly simple, as well. a golden effigy of the young king, of magnificent workmanship, i fill the whole of the interior, laid on that golden outer lidl with a tiny wreath of flowers. news of the find was rushed here, to highclere castle — famous for its downton abbey connection nowadays, but back then, home to someone else fascinated by the mysterious young pharaoh. the story of tutankhamun is always linked with one name — that of howard carter, the man who broke through that wall 100 years ago.

but carter wouldn't have been there at all without the passion and, perhaps more importantly, the finance of another egyptologist — this man, the 5th earl of carnarvon. he was somebody who never gave up. he kept on looking for the tomb of the lost pharaoh tutankhamun. and i guess... it wasn't about treasure — it's about knowledge and works of art. so it was a different ambition, i think, which fuelled his interest and his passion. the story sparked what became known as tutmania. from a few curious visitors, to the millions who viewed the wonders of the tomb at travelling exhibitions. i am sorry, there will be no more admission for the exhibition tonight. it is the last day, so we're going to put it to sleep now for another 3,000 years. and hanging in the air, the legend of a pharaoh's curse on those who dared to enter the tomb.

the newspapers named five men as its victims — among them, lord carnarvon himself. historians, though, have a very different explanation. carnarvon had struck this exclusive deal with the times and only they had access to the original images, and the other newspapers were finally also in the position to create their own story, finally. so maybe that's the first example of fake news. i always wondered what it was like to live through a global media event. in some ways, downton has been another media global event and, again, this house is at the centre of it, this castle. the pharaoh's treasures are back home where they belong, but the story alone is enough to capture new audiences. it's just really cool how the people from back then, without as many tools as we do now, were able to get into such a well—guarded tomb. i love that tutankhamun's death is a mystery. no—one will really know how he died, land then maybe people in the future| might find out how he's died.

someone who was king at quite a young age — i mean, he was only eight so, i mean, it's quite a big responsibility. i know i'm 11 and the only thing i'm responsible of is being team captain. it's something which has happened and something which is exciting and which we want to discover more about. like tutankhamun's interlocking coffins, there are many layers to this story. howard carter's successors are still finding new pieces of the jigsaw, still solving the mysteries which remain hidden in the valley of the kings. as if by magic, we are through the wall and into the tomb itself. but there is howard carter, lifting the coffin out of this sarcophagus. john, you are an egyptologist, you
