6:01 am
to fall back on. in sport, how england were left humiliated against argentina at twickenham, a year out from the world cup. good morning. very cloudy day ahead with their showers or rain. the heaviest will be in the wet gusty wind but if anything it will strengthen over night. it's monday the 7th of november. our main story. the prime minister will urge world leaders to join what he is calling a "global mission for clean growth" at the cop27 climate change summit in egypt later today. rishi sunak will also call on nations to honour the pledges they made at last year's event in glasgow. here's our climate editorjustin rowlatt. you don't have to go far from the coast in egypt to find vivid evidence of what's at stake.
6:02 am
the red sea is home to some of the most magnificent and biodiverse coral reefs in the world. but coral is incredibly vulnerable to climate change. scientists say virtually all the world's coral reefs could be gone by the end of the century, possibly sooner now. think what that means. an ecosystem that's taken hundreds of millions of years to evolve, gone forever. rishi sunak arrived in egypt last night. these talks are reckoned to be the world's best hope of tackling climate change. the british prime minister will be announcing millions of pounds of funding for clean energy and forest protection today. he'll say the uk is steadfast in its support of countries on the front line of climate change. it's been another year of climate—related extreme weather. terrible floods left a third
6:03 am
of pakistan underwater, for example. another year of drought pushed a0 million people in east africa closer to famine. developing nations are demanding not just millions, but hundreds of billions of pounds of assistance from the rich world. nicola sturgeon, the scottish first minister, will also be in egypt today. she played a key role in the last un climate talks in glasgow and says it is time rich countries coughed up the cash they promised to help the developing world rise to the climate challenge. one bit of good news though. the egyptian reefs are particularly resistant to marine heating, according to local scientists. the negotiators here will need to summon similar reserves of resilience if progress is going to be made at the conference. justin rowlatt, bbc news, sharm el—sheikh, egypt. a cabinet minister has confirmed
6:04 am
that the prime minister knew a complaint for harassment and bullying had been filed against a tory mp before he was given a ministerial position. a series of messages sent by sir gavin williamson to ex—chief whip wendy morton were published on sunday. let's speak to our chief political correspondent nick eardley who is in westminster. correspondent nick eardley good correspondent nick eardley morning, nick. how di1 this good morning, nick. how difficult is this for the prime minister? i good morning, nick. how difficult is this for the prime minister?- this for the prime minister? i don't think there's _ this for the prime minister? i don't think there's any _ this for the prime minister? i don't think there's any doubt _ this for the prime minister? i don't think there's any doubt that - this for the prime minister? i don't think there's any doubt that this i this for the prime minister? i don't think there's any doubt that this is | think there's any doubt that this is another uncomfortable position for rishi sunak because this is his second big row about an appointment to the cabinet. last week it was the home secretary, suella braverman, todayit home secretary, suella braverman, today it is gavin williamson who is a minister in the cabinet office. the sunday times published a bunch of text messages yesterday between mr williamson and the former whip, wendy morton. and they are pretty angry, they include a number of
6:05 am
swear words, some see them is quite threatening because at one point he says, there is a price for everything, in a row about who got to attend the queen's state funeral. overnight the prime minister has told the sun newspaper that these messages are not acceptable, that it came at a difficult time but that everybody should be treated with respect. and rishi sunak has not given mr williamson his full support in the sense that he has not said that gavin williamson will definitely remain in hisjob. that's because the conservative party is looking into this, there has been a complaint made by wendy morton, the former chief whip, about these text messages. the conservative party is looking into that at the moment. not totally clear how long that complaint will take, it's a bit like asking how long a piece of string is, trying to find out how long these investigations take. but as i say, i think this is another
6:06 am
uncomfortable position for the government because again we are talking about whether someone should have been put into a senior cabinet role just have been put into a senior cabinet rolejust a have been put into a senior cabinet role just a couple of weeks after rishi sunak promised that integrity and professionalism would be at the heart of everything he did. mick. heart of everything he did. nick, thank ou heart of everything he did. nick, thank you very — heart of everything he did. nick, thank you very much _ heart of everything he did. nick, thank you very much. _ train commuters have been urged to check if their services are running this morning, after a planned strike was called off. the majority of rail operators say that because the walk—out was cancelled so late, there will be a reduced timetable. our reporter celestina olulode is at king's cross this morning. celesti na, celestina, the strike is off, but it could be a tough commute for many today? could be a tough commute for many toda ? , . , . ., today? yes, a mixed picture of dela s today? yes, a mixed picture of delays and _ today? yes, a mixed picture of delays and cancellations. - today? yes, a mixed picture of delays and cancellations. that | today? yes, a mixed picture of. delays and cancellations. that is what network rail has told passengers to expect today. but i should say that since we have been here this morning, just take a look at the arrivals board here. it shows you that a number of services are
6:07 am
expected to run from this station today. having said that, earlier on i spoke to some passengers who were trying to get to cambridge, there train has been cancelled, they are looking for alternative routes. but how did we get here? we got here because the rmt, one of the main unions in dispute with network rail, there is a dispute over pay and working conditions, and the rmt say that it working conditions, and the rmt say thatitis working conditions, and the rmt say that it is expected to ballot shortly which could mean that there could be more strikes further on down the line. we will have to wait and see. but the main thing is if you are travelling from this station orany you are travelling from this station or any station today, please check with the rail provider beforehand. celestina, for now, thank you, i know you will keep an eye on that this morning. donald trump has continued to hint that he may run for us president again in 2024,
6:08 am
telling voters at an election rally to "stay tuned". the former president was firing up republicans in miami before crucial midterm elections, which will determine who controls congress for the next two years. our north america correspondent nada tawfik reports. donald trump's name may not be on the ballot this election, but his agenda sure is. with the stage set for a republican sweep in florida, the former president sought to energise the crowd of his supporters in miami, and to urge them to vote to repudiate democrat's policies. if you want to stop the destruction of our country and save the american dream, you don't hear too much about the american dream over the last two years, then this tuesday you must go out and vote republican in this giant red wave. his nearly 90 minute speech touched on familiar themes, including the border wall and the investigations against him. donald trump has been
6:09 am
emboldened by the latest polls showing his party is likely to take one and perhaps both chambers of congress. once again, he teased his potential return. in order to make our country successful, safe and glorious, i will probably have to do it again, but stay tuned. donald trump hasn't announced he's running again, but his supporters are already preparing for it. in the meantime, the upcoming midterm elections have certainly heightened the feeling that they are in a battle to save america. i'm voting for conservative voices that are pro—god, pro—country, pro—family, pro—life. i'm a father and i want my daughter to be raised with make america great again. there's a lot at stake in the midterm election, for one, the control of congress.
6:10 am
but also donald trump's status if he goes after the presidency once more. nada tawfik, bbc news, miami. all captive birds in england must be kept indoors from today, to try to prevent the spread of bird flu. more than 200 cases have been confirmed since october last year and about 5.5 million birds have died or been culled. the restrictions are aimed at preventing house birds from interacting with wild birds, but the risk to people from the virus is said to be very low. one of the uk's best known comedians, peter kay, has announced his first stand—up tour in more than a decade. the 49—year—old has been out of the spotlight for much of the last four years after he cancelled a string of shows in 2017 due to "unforeseen family circumstances". announcing the new tour last night, he said it was good to get back to what he loves doing best.

6:12 am
especially through the english channel, and in the west, and with some spring tides and large waves, especially around the south coast. we could have some waves this evening and overnight across west cornwall and the english channel and the irish sea as high as four or five metres. tonight, a squally band of rain moving west to east, gusty winds inland even, these are the values can expect. 71 through the english channel, not a cold night, these temperatures are representative of what we would expect during the day at this time of year, not during the night. tomorrow the dregs of the front will clear away and then we will have some more showers coming in, hit and miss, sometime between them, windy tomorrow but not as windy as today, apart from in the south—west in the english channel where it will be gusty. 12 to 15 degrees.

6:14 am
media apps and websites. ican i can sort of believe that. people are just addicted to scrolling, doom is grown in? two are just addicted to scrolling, doom is grown in?— is grown in? two and a half hours seems an — is grown in? two and a half hours seems an awful _ is grown in? two and a half hours seems an awful lot _ is grown in? two and a half hours seems an awful lot of— is grown in? two and a half hours seems an awful lot of time. -- i is grown in? two and a half hours i seems an awful lot of time. -- doom seems an awful lot of time. —— doom scrolling. there are apps that can turnit scrolling. there are apps that can turn it off after a certain amount of time but it is too easy to override it. let's have a look inside. we have been talking about cop27 getting under way in egypt, there was a bat relay to move it from glasgow where cop26 was, now cop27 taking place in sharm el—sheikh. the organisers said they were overwhelmed by the response, it would get across all of the countries to get to egypt, 38 day route through 18 countries. runners,
6:15 am
cyclists and sailors transporting the baton. and also through some pretty rough terrain, but it has made it, to highlight some of those issues they are talking about at cop27. ~ , ., ~ ., ., cop27. we will be talking about that all mornin: cop27. we will be talking about that all morning this _ cop27. we will be talking about that all morning this morning. _ families who have lost loved ones to gambling addiction are urging the government to publish its long—awaited review of the uk's betting laws. the so—called white paper was commissioned almost two years ago, but has been delayed four times. ministers have told bbc breakfast it will be published "within weeks", but campaigners say the longer it takes, the more lives will be damaged. jayne mccubbin has more. the beautiful game used to be so simple. so what are you betting on? anything, corners, cards, you name it. not any more. i put £5 a month into an online gambling software, which told me about the amount of fouls players do and yellow cards. yeah, it's a seven fold goals - galore, need both teams to score. i've got three in at the minute. let's place a little bet on this afternoon's game. gambling has never been easier
6:16 am
and some say riskier. it's all about the next goal. there have been government attempts to make it safer, but a long promised overhaul of gambling laws is still nowhere to be seen. we've come to tranmere rovers to meet three men who say government inaction is costing lives. so this is ryan? that's ryan on our last holidays together. we came home on the friday and killed himself on the sunday afternoon. john's son ryan had a gambling addiction. he was 27 when he killed himself. he tried to stop. he tried to get off. one of the things he said again was the adverts. "when i try to get off, i can't get away from it. it's everywhere. as soon as i'm finished, they're texting me straightaway. offering me free bets." for me, it's part of the grooming to get them in there. the visibility for you is a form of grooming. yeah, it is, it's a form of grooming.
6:17 am
that could have been my mum sitting there. james is a recovering addict. and ijust feel angry, actually, that gambling advertising is still allowed in football when we know it's killing people. both the betting industry and those who run football insist there's no link between gambling adverts and addiction. here at league two tranmere, they fundamentally disagree. the game itself, i think, is an absolutely ideal platform that is being used and exploited by the gambling community to the detriment of our community. we were approached to put terminals in the ground and we didn't. the difficulty is we can say no to that, but the actual terminals are in everybody�*s phone, in everybody�*s hand. what would you say to the people watching this, saying, but you don't restrict the whole drink sector because alcoholics exist? if you're an alcoholic, trying to stop drinking, you don't have the local barman come round your house and give you 100 free shots of vodka.
6:18 am
this is not about stopping people gambling. this is stopping exploitative gambling. peter shilton spent 30 years as a professional footballer and 35 years as a gambling addict. i mean, when i started gambling it was sort of in the '70s and it was a totally different ball game. you know, it was three high street bookmakers you used to have an account with. the whole industry has changed completely. i opened peter's bank statement and added up what he'd lost in a month and i actually had an anxiety attack. my god, this is chronic. he's really ill. when i finish playing football, you know, it became more and more, especially when the internet gambling came on. and i hate to see the way that football's being used to promote gambling, and especially for youngsters, it's down to the government to stand up now since 2005 and make some serious changes. and if they don't, there's only one reason, and that is because of money.
6:19 am
this is an industry which has changed beyond all recognition, and the 2005 gambling act took shape before any of this really existed. the white paper to play catch up, well, that has been shelved four times and it's been through the hands so far of five different ministers. on—course bookmakers are perhaps the only part of the gambling industry which has stayed almost the same, and this sector believes a sense of urgency is desperately needed. introduction of the gambling act 2005 probably left the door open for a bit of a free for all. perhaps the government needs to take back a bit of that control. the betting and gaming council say they support the gambling review as an opportunity to raise standards, but any changes introduced by the government must not drive gamblers towards the growing unsafe unregulated black market. all eyes are now on paul scully, who, as the fifth minister at the helm, has promised to finally publish the white paper within weeks. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. a statement from the betting
6:20 am
and gaming council says... "betting advertising and sponsorship must comply with strict guidelines and safer gambling messaging is regularly and prominently displayed. the betting and gaming council's largest members pledged an additional £100 million of funding between 2019 and 2023 for research, education and treatment services to tackle problem gambling. and we'll be talking about this more just after eight o'clock with liz and charles ritchie whose sonjack took his own life due to his gambling addiction. if you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this conversation, you can find help and advice at bbc.co.uk/actionline.
6:21 am
later this week, union leaders are expected to announce the biggest—ever nurses strike in the uk, amid a dispute over pay. ahead of the likely walk—out, by members of the royal college of nursing, our health reporter laura foster has been talking to workers who've voted for and against the action. exhausted. undervalued. overworked. saddened. overwhelmed. stressed. geraldine and diane's feelings about theirjobs are very different from when they started as nurses seven years ago. we do an extraordinaryjob in an ordinary world. they've both voted in favour of striking. to be able to afford things and family life, i make sure i do extra shifts on the weekend. you know, iwork full time during the week and i then also have to give up my weekends so i don't get to see my son. i love being a nurse. i love what i do. i love seeing children thrive. i love empowering parents. but at the same time,
6:22 am
i always have to think about myself outside of the nurse role. i need to live, i need to eat. i have dreams, i have aspirations. and if financially i'm being impacted, everything else will fall apart. you know, i don't want to wince at my bank account every month. the royal college of nursing says a typical full—time nurse earns roughly the same as the average full—time worker in the uk. that's about £33,000. but the starting salary for a band five nurse is closer to 27,000. karen uses tiktok to help people understand nurses' wages, and disagrees with the idea that nurses should be happy with their pay. if people genuinely felt £27,000 was a good salary, universities would be inundated with people applying to be a nurse. nurses wouldn't be leaving in record levels. nhs would be retaining staff, and that's just not happening. so clearly that money is not enough.
6:23 am
and nobody�*s saying a nursing role is any more important or any less important than any other public sectorjobs. this is just our fight. job sites say they're noticing more and more nurses choosing to leave for less stressful roles, even if it means earning less. warehousing, retail, customer. service and administrative roles. those roles would typically pay considerably less - than an average nursing role. those sectors would typically offer something in the region _ of £10 to £12 an hour, i compared to about £17 to £20 an hour in nursing roles. so what would happen if union members vote for strike action where you live? the union would give notice to the health trusts and boards where members have voted to go on strike. on an agreed date, those nurses would stop working. there would still be safe staffing levels in emergency care and for urgent services, and it would be similar to the number of staff there'd be on christmas day. there could be disruption
6:24 am
to pre—planned appointments. some might have to be cancelled. ian in cornwall is concerned that strikes would be unsafe. how did you vote in the ballot, and why did you vote that way? i voted no. i decided no, because i felt we were going to put patients at risk. i know our leader at the rcn, royal college of nursing, have said we will not be putting patients at risk. but during this crisis, during this nursing crisis, if we reduce the staffing levels any further, the only outcome could be patient safety. so this is the reason that i voted no. the welsh government, and the uk government who are responsible for health care in england, say they've met the recommendations given by the independent nhs pay review body. in scotland, the scottish government says that its pay offer means its staff will be the best paid in the uk. meanwhile, in northern ireland, no formal pay offer has yet been made. any strike action would cause
6:25 am
disruption, but many nurses feel they've been left with no alternative. those who don't hear must feel that it's going to be at the detriment of our patients, sadly. but this may be the only way for people to truly realise that we deserve more. we deserve better. laura foster, bbc news, east london. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. for the first time, the elizabeth line will today start taking hundreds of thousands of workday commuters along the length of its line, from heathrow airport and reading all the way to abbey wood, and from shenfield to paddington. this was the first train heading to heathrow from abbey wood at 7.30 yesterday morning. the mayor of london says 60 million journeys have already been made on the line since it opened in may.
6:26 am
the inquiry into the grenfell tower fire resumes today, after a three and a half month break. members of the panel have used the time to study more than 300,000 documents and submissions on behalf of the 72 people who died in the fire in north kensington five years ago. survivors are calling forjustice and for lessons to be learned. a former drug addict who spent months living on the underground, says he turned his life around with the help of art. ed worley, who also goes by the name opake, spent his teens and early 20s battling substance abuse and ended up sleeping rough. he eventually channelled his energy into painting, and is now showing his work at an exhibition. we'll hearfrom ed on bbc london later in the day. a look at the travel situation now, and although today's rail strike is off, passengers are being warned
6:27 am
to expect some disruption. on the tube board: now onto the weather with kate. good morning. the unsettled conditions continue. low pressure to the west of the uk driving this cold front through, could bring some heavy showers through this morning. and the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for heavy rain. that's for parts of the south east, surrey, sussex and kent. but everywhere seeing those showers. of course, the rain falling on already saturated ground, so could lead to some localised flooding. it's largely cloudy, but a few breaks appearing later on today, and temperatures reaching around 15 celsius. it's a breezy day, too, and that wind continues to strengthen overnight. a few clear spells, a few showers,
6:28 am
then a band of heavy rain through the early hours, rumbles of thunder likely, and the minimum temperature mild, between 11 and 13 celsius. it is going to stay very blustery through the course of tuesday. further showers, you can see again. you might heara rumble or two of thunder. but some sunny spells in there. that wind quite strong, pushing them through the afternoon, and temperatures on tuesday getting up to again around 15 celsius. now, it is going to stay unsettled, but fewer showers on wednesday. high pressure builds for thursday. quite a bit of cloud, but some breaks in that cloud, and the temperature exceptionally mild. that's it. but salma al—wardanny will start her breakfast show on bbc radio london from seven. sir ed davey, leader of the liberal democrats, will be speaking to her about what he feels the lib dems could do for london and the country. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. coming up on breakfast this morning.

6:35 am
moment. we are gearing up towards the men's rugby world cup next year. all of the home nations have been in action over the weekend. england played argentina yesterday. it is the gauge of where you are at the moment. they are such big games, one of the only times you get to test yourself against the big teams in world rugby. while england had a disappointing six nations campaign, they did well in australia. it is one step forward, two steps back. toulouse yesterday against argentina at home in front of a full twickenham, very disappointing. morning. argentina haven't fared too well against england of late, but they did yesterday. all the home nations are in world cup mode a year out, and england showed how far they've got to go as the opening round of matches drew to a close eddiejones said his side are 'under the pump' crashing to defeat to argentina, a game littered with errors, and one england had led at half time. but this was the knockout blow, one
6:36 am
of two tries in quick succession. and jones has called for a response with matches againstjapan, new zealand and south africa to come. wales went down against new zealand on saturday, although there were wins for scotland and ireland. a week out from the premier league season halting for six weeks to squeeze in the small matter of the world cup, signs perhaps liverpool are not facing the demise many have predicted. mo salah with two as they beat spurs. his first came afterjust ten minutes before doubling his lead just before the half time break after a mistake from eric dier left salah one—on—one with the keeper. harry kane pulled one back, but they failed to complete a comeback, liverpool still some way off the top, but a confidence boosting win. it's big for us, absolutely big, two wins in a row. yes, different competitions, but anyway, so that was not really important. now wednesday, derby. at the moment, no idea who we can line up for that game, but then saturday, southampton,
6:37 am
massive one for us as well. yeah, and today, now we're standing with 19 points, which isjust the maximum that was possible for today. that's really good. and, yeah, let's carry on. arsenal manager mikel arteta says his side are in the title race after they reclaimed top spot, beating london rivals chelsea 1—0. gabriel with the goal, they're now two points clear of manchester city, while chelsea are seventh. man city at the best team in the world with the best coach in the world with the best coach in the world and they are consistent as usual. we are trying to take steps. today i think we have taken another step against a really difficult opponent to convince ourselves that we can do it and we started to do it a little bit more consistently now. what a start for unai emery at aston villa, in his first match in charge he watched them beat manchester united 3—1. that moves them three points clear
6:38 am
of the relegation zone. jacob ramsey getting their third. ralph hassenhuttl�*s time as southampton manager could be drawing to a close after they lost 4—1 at home to newcastle, who climb up to third. the defeat leaves southampton in the relegation zone. while crystal palace are on the rise after they beat west ham thanks to a 94th minute winnerfrom michael olise. derby were seconds away from being in the hat for the second round of the fa cup. the rams were down to ten men when 2—0 up and blew their lead, conceding a 94th minute equaliser away at torquay united, who are bottom of the national league. cue the pitch invasion, their fans finally having something to celebrate this season after they forced a replay. a trip to pride park awaits them. the pressure's mounting on rangers manager gianni van bronckhorst. after they lost 2—1 to stjohnstone leaving them seven points behind leaders celtic in the scottish premiership. the win moves st
6:39 am
johnstone up to sixth. arsenal moved back to top of the women's super league with a convincing 4—0 victory over leicester city. the gunners were 3—0 up at half time before stina blackstenius added a fourth, as arsenal continue their unbeaten start to the season. and chelsea have moved level on points with arsenal at the top of the table after they beat manchester united 3—1 in front of a record crowd at leigh sports village — sam kerr got the goalscoring started. it ends united's perfect start the season. it's been an historic gymnastics world championships for great britain in liverpool. jessica gadirova took gold in the floor event to take gb�*s tally to a record breaking six medals. earlier in the competition she'd helped the team get silver, before taking a bronze medal in the women's all around. this victory makes her only the fifth british world
6:40 am
champion in history. i have been struggling with a little bit of pain afterallaround finals, so, ijust tried to push it, no matter what. i'm just so relieved that it was worth it. i pushed through the pain and it was worth it. so, i'm just so proud of myself forjust keep fighting, and ijust tried to focus, like, on my own individual performance, and i didn't listen to anyone else's score. so, ijust did it with my heart and i performed just for liverpool and myself. ijust performed for myself, no matter what. and i performed forjen, obviously. we are going to be speaking to a little later. each of the england teams involved in the three rugby league world cups are yet to lose, after the wheelchair side maintained their own 100% record. the firstjob was beating spain, and they did so handsomely. robert hawkings managed an impressive five tries in a match that saw england score 18 in all in a 104—12 win at the copper box arena,
6:41 am
in front of another record crowd for the sport. australia's win later over ireland means england are guaranteed a place in the semi finals. in the men's tournament, england will face samoa in their semi final after the samoans beat tonga 20—18 in their last eight match. brian to'o with this try. england beat samoa 60—6 in the opening group match of the tournament. you would think they will be well placed to do so again. no pressure. and michael check as well. talk about the busiest man in sport. there he was masterminding the win over england at twickenham, also coaching lebanon in the world beleaguered. that is multitasking. isn't it? i think you have one more story for us, john. d0 think you have one more story for us, john. �*, .,, i. think you have one more story for us, john. �*, ~ us, john. do i? let's hope you like this one.

6:44 am
squally winds. coupled with high tides. we could have waves, as much as four to five metres around west cornwall, through the irish sea and the english channel. there is a risk of localised flooding. a band of squally rain pushes from the west towards the east. in the west it is replaced by some heavy showers. these are the kinds of wind strengths you can expect. 71 in english channel, 42 in the north channel. temperature wise, ten to 14 north channel. temperature wise, ten to 1a degrees. more than what we would expect as the maximum temperatures during the day at this stage in november. as we head into tomorrow, low pressure very much with us. a band of squally rain lease quite quickly. still windy, just not as windy as today. there goes the rain. behind it we are looking at sunshine and showers. still gusty winds. the strongest once again will be in parts of the west and the south—west as well as
6:45 am
the english channel. temperatures 12 to about 15 degrees. moving on then, as we head into wednesday, still some showers around. it is going to be drier, there will be more sunshine. showers picking up in norfolk through the afternoon. heavier once in the north and west of scotland. temperatures 11 to about 1k of scotland. temperatures 11 to about 1a or 15 degrees. still above average. as we had from wednesday towards the end of the week, you can see that we have got fronts in the north. high pressure in the south. still quite windy. we are pooling in the wind from this mild source from the wind from this mild source from the azores. as we head in through thursday to sunday, the weather still remains mixed. but it won't be as windy and it will not be as white. there will still be showers at times. some sunshine around. temperatures still above average for the time of the year, looking out 16 in edinburgh, 17 in london. the average at this time of the year is
6:46 am
roughly between ten and 12 degrees north to still warm. thanks, carol. now, with a squeeze on all our finances as we head into winter, paying for christmas gifts and treats is going to be harder in a lot of households. research out today suggests more of us will be turning to christmas credit. nina has the details. morning. never cheap, this time of the year, is it? the suggestion from this research is that people are looking ahead to the next six weeks and budgeting more and wondering maybe for the first time if they need to ask for some help, get some credit support. good morning. 48 days to go. time to start thinking about how to make that day special, possibly on a different budget to last year. energy bills are going up, most wages aren't keeping pace with rising costs, and many households are having to cut their christmas cloth in a more careful way. one college in boston in lincolnshire is providing courses to help people manage theirfinances and still have fun.
6:47 am
# once i was a flight risk the pressure of christmas. # slipping through the darkness perhaps this year, more challenging than most. # but soon i think i will be safe.# we know that this christmas is obviously going to be a real big challenge for, particularly the homeless, those on the poverty line, and the retired community. all pressures that mean there are now courses on offer being run by boston college, to help people get to grips with their finances ahead of the festivities. it's notjust about going to tesco or asda or lidl or sainsbury�*s, or whatever. it's about picking the right quality at the right price for your budget and being able to prepare with energy costs and everything else leading up to christmas. so what we're here to do today, we're going to help the community, we're going to help the people of boston use those skills, especially at this time of year, when finances
6:48 am
are stretched, and make the most of the money they've got. today's boston college class started with bingo. seven and one, 71. but out on the streets, it's more of a lottery as to whether people can afford their hopes for christmas. christmas is an extra pressure. whether you do savings schemes or not, it will still mean that you may not be able to afford all that you want for christmas. i mean, the price of a turkey — just go to asda, £22.50. who's going to afford that? are you budgeting already? well, we just have to buy little bits here and there, because if you leave it all all in one go, itjust cripples you. not a challenge. - i'm going to catch a bus. of course, with inflation putting up the prices of pretty much everything, this isn'tjust a problem confined to christmas. it's going to be those months and weeks after christmas as well. so the plan is to carry on with this after christmas, and help them budget learn about the energy costs, so that they can survive until the weather gets
6:49 am
better, at least. that was crispin rolf reporting from lincolnshire. research out today shows that half of shoppers surveyed would be using credit plans, including buy now pay later options. and of those paying on credit cards and credit payment plans, a fifth will be doing so for the first time. as you'd expect, with the economic pressures people are facing, a vast majority said they would be shopping around for the best deals this christmas, and waiting for the sales. and underlining that squeeze people are feeling, separate research today for the government—backed money and pension service suggests that one in six adults in the uk have no savings at all, with over a quarter having only £100 or less. so with tight financial times ahead, we asked shoppers in west london how they were intending to pay for their christmas shopping this year. i was a single parent at 18. if you can't afford it,
6:50 am
you can't have it. i and i've lived that life ever since. and i tend to buy things every so often on the run—up to christmas. so, ijust bought something from my nephew for christmas, and i keep buying bits and pieces as i go on. i'm most probably going to struggle. plus, i'll have to most probably, you know, take my time with — well, i'll have to look after my money in a certain way and i'll have to spread my money out because... i'll have to put cut down on the money, put it that way. i'm already in debt with klarna. i have _ i'm already in debt with klarna. i have been— i'm already in debt with klarna. i have been using klarna for food shopping — have been using klarna for food shopping and stopper. but it's also like, shopping and stopper. but it's also like. guite. — shopping and stopper. but it's also like, quite, like, hard to be able to budget — like, quite, like, hard to be able to budget for presents and stuff if you are _ to budget for presents and stuff if you are like having to save to pay for electric— you are like having to save to pay for electric and food.— for electric and food. obviously everything _ for electric and food. obviously everything has _ for electric and food. obviously everything has gone _ for electric and food. obviously everything has gone up - for electric and food. obviously everything has gone up in i for electric and food. obviously | everything has gone up in price. food shopping, petrol. it is a bit of a worry how we are going to save enough to get enough presence. share enough to get enough presence. are ou enough to get enough presence. are you looking forward to christmas?

well, yeah, and my birthday is a day before _ well, yeah, and my birthday is a day before christmas. 30 well, yeah, and my birthday is a day before christmas.— before christmas. so double presence? _ before christmas. so double presence? excellent. - you can find more information, support and advice online at the bbc�*s cost of living web page. just search for bbc cost of living in your browser. really tempting, particularly at this time of the year, to look at credit options. and actually, lots of people use credit really successfully. wait for the next and it works out really well. but your outgoings are becoming increasingly unpredictable at the moment. so perhaps think about being a more cautious. we are going to be speaking with a representative from citizens advice later and finding out if you are turning to credit, what the advices, where you have to be careful around that. we what the advices, where you have to be careful around that.— what the advices, where you have to be careful around that. we have sort of not be careful around that. we have sort of got used — be careful around that. we have sort of got used to _ be careful around that. we have sort of got used to money _ be careful around that. we have sort of got used to money being - be careful around that. we have sort of got used to money being quite i of got used to money being quite cheap because interest rates have been so low for so long. so now suddenly people having a bit of a shock, not only are prices going up, but the cost of borrowing that money

6:53 am
the ss virago lies on the sea bed, thousands of miles away from her intended destination. as the divers got closer, mysterious objects began to loom out of the darkness. the wreck lies in 45 metres of water. it is probably in the most tidal area in the uk. the divers have got a maximum 20 minutes when daunay need ti'd. it's a very tricky place to dive. but when the divers went down on the wreck the first things they saw were these big stationary steam engines. and lots and lots of ironwork. the more they spun around, the more wheels and grind stones and lots of bits of machinery. there is a thousand

7:16 am
the trains, getting a passport. and i think people wonder what has happened to our country, why is it so chaotic? and i'm afraid the finger of blame really has to go with the conservatives, because they have been fighting each other and not focusing on the issues that people care about. so not focusing on the issues that people care about.— not focusing on the issues that people care about. so how would you chance people care about. so how would you change that? — people care about. so how would you change that? as _ people care about. so how would you change that? as we _ people care about. so how would you change that? as we said _ people care about. so how would you change that? as we said in _ people care about. so how would you change that? as we said in the i change that? as we said in the introduction, you are third in the polls, not in a position to form a government outright, how would you change what is happening in westminster?— change what is happening in westminster? , ., ., ., westminster? first of all we have not to westminster? first of all we have got to replace _ westminster? first of all we have got to replace a — westminster? first of all we have got to replace a conservative i got to replace a conservative government. the liberal democrats are well placed to beat many conservative mps. as you said in the introduction, we have won three elections in the last 16 months, and we didn'tjust win them in seats where we were close, we win them in seats where we were some way behind, in conservative heartland, in true blue bucks, north shropshire, a conceit that the conservatives held 200 years, and in east devon, as
7:17 am
seat where we had to overturn a majority which was so large it had never been overturned before. we have shown across the country that liberal democrats are well placed to beat conservative mps. and people are switching to the liberal democrats, lifelong conservatives, if we can do that, we can put forward our policies which are essentially for a fair deal for people. people work hard, they raise their kids, looking up the loved ones, they are doing the right thing and all they want from the government is a fair deal. they want the government to do the right thing. they have been looking at the conservative party and they have seen chaos in shambles. taste conservative party and they have seen chaos in shambles.- conservative party and they have seen chaos in shambles. we will come onto some of — seen chaos in shambles. we will come onto some of those _ seen chaos in shambles. we will come onto some of those policies _ seen chaos in shambles. we will come onto some of those policies in - seen chaos in shambles. we will come onto some of those policies in a i onto some of those policies in a second. i am interested onto some of those policies in a second. iam interested in onto some of those policies in a second. i am interested in whether you think you can replicate in what you think you can replicate in what you are seeing in local constituencies on a national scale. looking at the polls, rishi sunak the prime minister, trusted and now on the economy. do you think you have missed your opportunity, an

opportunity which was presented, an open goal, a lot of that chaotic stuff we saw in westminster. people now trust the prime minister on one of the biggest issue that is facing them, that cost of living crisis and them, that cost of living crisis and the handling of the economy. i don't think so, the handling of the economy. i don't think so. when _ the handling of the economy. i don't think so, when i _ the handling of the economy. i don't think so, when i knock _ the handling of the economy. i don't think so, when i knock on _ the handling of the economy. i don't think so, when i knock on doors i the handling of the economy. i don't think so, when i knock on doors and | think so, when i knock on doors and talk to people in my constituency and across the country, and here in manchester i am going campaigning cheadle and hazel grove, and when i talk to our candidates there who are talking to local people, tom morrison in cheadle, lisa smart in hazel grace, they tell me that lots of lifelong conservatives, it doesn't matter that the premise has changed, they feel that the conservative party has the problem and it is the conservative party who has been letting people down. the conservative party that has taken people for granted and is totally out of touch. but people for granted and is totally out of touch.— people for granted and is totally out of touch. �* ., i. ~ i. out of touch. but do you think you have missed _ out of touch. but do you think you have missed your— out of touch. but do you think you have missed your opportunity? i out of touch. but do you think you l have missed your opportunity? no, that is what — have missed your opportunity? no, that is what we _ have missed your opportunity? iirr, that is what we are still picking up. the polls may be the polls, but
7:19 am
if you look at the elections, council by—elections, what we are being told by people, some people who voted tory all their lives, they will not put up with his chaos any more. they feel the conservatives have let them down. let me give you an example of mortgages which is something i have been talking a lot about. because the conservatives trashed the economy and people have seen hundreds have pounce on their mortgage bills, we call it the conservative property penalty, people want to know, if i am going to lose their home, one in four people are fearing that, is the government going to help? the conservatives are completely silent on this. they used to be a scheme to help people struggling with their mortgages and the conservatives got rid of it. it increasingly looks like the conservatives are not there people. many people who have saved up people. many people who have saved up and worked hard to buy their homes, they would say the conservative party is no longer the party of homeowners. it’s
7:20 am
party of homeowners. it's interesting _ party of homeowners. it's interesting you _ party of homeowners. it's interesting you talk about mortgages, people will be feeling the extra cost of the interest rates which makes those mortgage repayments more expensive. the 28% of households have a mortgage, meaning 72% of people don't have a mortgage. many people would think it was a much lower percentage. so will people —— would your policy help people —— would your policy help people who are not that 28%? it would because people aspire to saving for a home. they must be really worried. and there are also renters. lots of people are renting, and we are seeing rent go up. what they liberal democrats have called for is the government to do what they promised. the government have promised to ban what is called no—fault evictions, when people are falling into a little bit of rent arrears, the landlord can get them out. if you have got a young family, and you have to move home, and find
7:21 am
a new place, it is dramatic for you. that's why it is right that there should be a ban on no—fault evictions. the conservatives have kept promising it and just don't deliver. what the liberal democrats are saying, it's part of a package to help notjust people with mortgages or people hoping to buy a home for the first time, but also people who are renting, we have got a package of help for them. we people who are renting, we have got a package of help for them.- a package of help for them. we call it our fair deal. _ a package of help for them. we call it our fair deal. tell _ a package of help for them. we call it our fair deal. tell me _ a package of help for them. we call it our fair deal. tell me about i it our fair deal. tell me about that, what financial help would i get if i am renting or have a mortgage, if i voted for you, what would i get in return?— would i get in return? let's talk about mortgages _ would i get in return? let's talk about mortgages first _ would i get in return? let's talk about mortgages first of - would i get in return? let's talk about mortgages first of all. i would i get in return? let's talk| about mortgages first of all. we have said if your mortgage payments have said if your mortgage payments have increased by more than 10% of your household income, that is probably about 1.5 million people who are on low and moderate incomes with a mortgage, that you can apply for a grant of up to £300 per month. and we are saying this should be paid for by reversing the cuts the
7:22 am
conservatives made on taxes on banks. since 2016, the conservatives have the surcharge, and the bank levy, and given a lot more money to the banks. what the liberal democrats are saying, with a fair deal, you would ask the banks you are making very large profits to pay are making very large profits to pay a little bit more to help people with mortgages. after all, we bailed out the banks back in 2008. we think it is only fair that with the conservatives having trashed the economy and caused this problem, they should be asking the banks to assist in this package that we have called our mortgage protection fund. about £300 per month, that would cost about 3 billion, you have explained how he would try to pay for it. but you call it fairness, but is it right that all of that money is being spent on 28% of people who have a mortgage in this country? and actually the bigger problem is people things like —— things like general prices going up,

food, energy, those effect pretty much everybody. ii food, energy, those effect pretty much everybody.— food, energy, those effect pretty much everybody. if you look at what the liberal democrats _ much everybody. if you look at what the liberal democrats have - much everybody. if you look at what the liberal democrats have said i much everybody. if you look at what| the liberal democrats have said over the liberal democrats have said over the last year, we have led to the debate on both the help that people should get and how it would be paid for. let me give you two examples. over a year ago, the liberal democrats with the first party to argue for a windfall tax on the record profit on the oil and gas giants who are making tens of billions of pounds, and that has got worse, well, betterfor them but worse, well, betterfor them but worse for us, after president putin invaded ukraine. there are huge amounts of profit and i think it is morally right and fair that they should be taxed to provide the money to help people who are really struggling with those bills that you mentioned. and we were the first to call for a freeze on the energy cap that caps the gas and electricity prices. we think that should have been frozen. unfortunately the conservatives didn't, they allowed it to go up by another £500. if they
7:24 am
had taken the measures that the liberal democrats had argued for over a year ago, we would have had the money to help people properly and we would not have seen the financial black hole that has opened up financial black hole that has opened up which has led to this. the conservatives have so mismanaged our economy because they will not provide a fair deal, the conservatives caused this chaos, and it's not surprising that people are pretty angry out there. i have never known people so ashamed of their government. the conservatives are really betraying our country, i think. those are strong words but i feel it, it is so chaotic, i have never known our wonderful and brilliant country so badly governed. just a final thoughts, cop27 in egyptin just a final thoughts, cop27 in egypt in sharm el—sheikh, it was in glasgow, a lot of people saying, what is the point of it, does it deliver anything? we are dealing with issues at home with prices rising, why meet in a very hot
7:25 am
country halfway around the world, what will this deliver?— what will this deliver? climate chan . e is what will this deliver? climate change is a — what will this deliver? climate change is a global— what will this deliver? climate change is a global problem i what will this deliver? climate change is a global problem so| what will this deliver? climate i change is a global problem so we have got to persuade other countries to take action. what i think we should be doing is showing that if you take the right action, it's really good for people in your own country. so the liberal democrats were very much part of increasing but in's renewable power, it was a liberal democrat policy which made us a world leader in offshore wind for example. what that has done is reduce people's bills, or offset some of the rises they are getting because it is gas and fossil fuels which is expensive, if you go the liberal democrat way with renewable power, it is much cheaper now. if you take the liberal democrat approach to tackle carbon emissions, you get cheaper bills, but it also means we are more secure. we don't have to import so much gas. we have seen the damage that president putin has done by using his gas as a weapon, and i think that is why we
7:26 am
need to invest in other forms of energy so we are not so reliant on people like president putin. goad energy so we are not so reliant on people like president putin. good to see ou, people like president putin. good to see you. thank _ people like president putin. good to see you, thank you _ people like president putin. good to see you, thank you for _ people like president putin. good to see you, thank you for being - people like president putin. good to see you, thank you for being here, | see you, thank you for being here, sir ed davey, leader of the liberal democrats. sir ed davey, leader of the liberal democrats-_ the number of children who need help with their speech and language has risen, particularly for those who began school after the first lockdown. nhs waiting lists are also at their highest ever for speech and language therapists with some families waiting more than a year. our education reporter vanessa clarke has the story. playing, listening and learning. all things we expect our children to do in school. but for lewis, this is huge progress. speech hasn't come easy. you couldn't hold a full conversation with lewis. it came to a point where he pointed at things, like if he wanted a drink he'd point, point for a cup because he wanted to drink. because he was too nervous to tell me what he wanted in case i didn't understand. it was just... it was just really a struggle.
7:27 am
they are describing words and describing words are... adjectives. lewis is not alone. in the past year, there has been an increase in children needing help with language. here at northwood community school in knowsley, teachers have seen a rise, particularly among five and six—year—olds who missed out on opportunities to learn during the pandemic. at its purest level, it's a communication and language need, but obviously it affects their concentration, their associated behaviours, their ability to regulate themselves. lots of sensory needs on top of that as well. so classroom teaching has had to look very different for that group moving forward. garden, what could we say about a garden? tell me something about your garden. the school also has a specialist speech hub where children are given extra help with trained staff and therapists. for children like these, who may have missed out because of the various lockdowns on pre—school or attending speech and language therapy or even socialising, help like this now is essential.
7:28 am
otherwise, experts say, it can have a massive impact on a child's education or even simple things like making friends. we've seen that, particularly in the pandemic. it's exacerbated existing problems that children may have had and it's also produced children who are struggling because theyjust haven't had that exposure to to talk or the opportunities to develop there, you know, a range of new words. so it's undoubtedly made things worse. a is for apple. good boy! we say, ah. very good. but this is an issue that is also affecting much younger children, too. in scarborough, three—year—old seamus has been on the nhs waiting list to see a speech and language therapist for almost a year. dah, very good. at first seamus was very frustrated because he didn't have, he didn't have signing, he didn't have anything
7:29 am
at all to express himself. so he was quite angry, he'd get quite upset. we could see that all these words were bubbling up in him, but he just wasn't able to tell us them. so since we've had the signing, things have improved massively. we've worked so hard to get him where he is, but we don't know how to go further without extra help to move him on. back in knowsley, lewis has big plans for the future. what would you like to be when you grow up? a police officer. and why do you want to be a police officer? so i can arrest people. i can hold a conversation with lewis now, and i couldn't before. the gratitude i have for the school and the hub, it's... like i could never, ever repay them for what they've done for lewis. he's. ..
7:30 am
you know, he's just... he's such a better boy. the government says it is investing in early years, development and training for professionals to help children get the support they need. vanessa clarke, bbc news, knowsley. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. for the first time, the elizabeth line will today start taking hundreds of thousands of workday commuters along the length of its line from heathrow airport and reading, all the way to abbey wood, and from shenfield to paddington. this was the first train heading to heathrow from abbey wood at 7.30 yesterday morning. the mayor of london says 60 million journeys have already been made on the line since it opened in may.
7:31 am
the inquiry into the grenfell tower fire resumes today, after a three and a half month break. members of the panel have used the time to study more than 300,000 documents and submissions on behalf of the 72 people who died in the fire in north kensington five years ago. survivors are calling forjustice and for lessons to be learned. a former drug addict who spent months living on the underground says he turned his life around with the help of art. ed worley, who also goes by the name opake, spent his teens and early 20s battling substance abuse and ended up sleeping rough. he eventually channelled his energy into painting and is now showing his work at an exhibition. within my work i repeat the same action, i repeat the same image over and over again, and i achieve a different outcome, which therefore, for me, breaks that cycle of insanity that i lived in. and that is what everything,
7:32 am
all of my work, is based around. you can see him talking openly about substance abuse on our website. a look at the travel situation now. and although today's rail strike is off, passengers are being warned to expect some disruption. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. the unsettled conditions continue. low pressure to the west of the uk driving this cold front through, could bring some heavy showers through this morning. and the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for heavy rain. that's for parts of the south east, surrey, sussex and kent. but everywhere seeing those showers. of course, the rain falling on already saturated ground, so could lead to some localised flooding. it's largely cloudy, but a few breaks appearing later on today, and temperatures reaching around 15 celsius. it's a breezy day, too, and that wind continues to strengthen overnight. a few clear spells, a few showers, then a band of heavy rain
7:33 am
through the early hours, rumbles of thunder likely, and the minimum temperature mild, between 11 and 13 celsius. it is going to stay very blustery through the course of tuesday. further showers, you can see again. you might heara rumble or two of thunder. but some sunny spells in there. that wind quite strong, pushing them through the afternoon, and temperatures on tuesday getting up to again around 15 celsius. now, it is going to stay unsettled, but fewer showers on wednesday. high pressure builds for thursday. quite a bit of cloud, but some breaks in that cloud, and the temperature exceptionally mild. that's it. but salma al—wardanny is starting her breakfast show on bbc radio london. sir ed davey, leader of the liberal democrats, will be speaking to her about what he feels the lib dems could do for london and the country. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. good morning. it isjust after
7:34 am
good morning. it is just after half past seven. with the cop27 summit under way, climate issues are top of the agenda internationally and for the government here in the uk. we're joined now by the business secretary, grant shapps. morning to you. i am going to start with climate and cop27. rishi sunak was not originally going to go and then had a change of mind. why did he make that u—turn? then had a change of mind. why did he make that u-turn?_ he make that u-turn? yeah, only because he _ he make that u-turn? yeah, only because he had _ he make that u-turn? yeah, only because he hadjust _ he make that u-turn? yeah, only because he had just come - he make that u-turn? yeah, only because he had just come in i he make that u-turn? yeah, only because he had just come in as i he make that u-turn? yeah, only i because he had just come in as prime minister, his number one priority is making sure that everything is stabilised and getting ready for the autumn statement on the 17th of the month. he got that work done and was able to confirm his attendance at cop27, where he is right at this moment. 50 cop27, where he is right at this moment. , ., cop27, where he is right at this moment. i. ., cop27, where he is right at this moment. ., ., ~ moment. so you say that work has been done. _ moment. so you say that work has been done. it— moment. so you say that work has been done, it is _ moment. so you say that work has been done, it is finished? - moment. so you say that work has been done, it is finished? do i moment. so you say that work has been done, it is finished? do you i been done, it is finished? do you know what is in it?— know what is in it? that's right. his involvement... _ know what is in it? that's right. his involvement... i— know what is in it? that's right. his involvement... i have i know what is in it? that's right. his involvement... i have been | his involvement... i have been working closely with the prime minister and the chance on the elements to do with business, which
7:35 am
is energy and it as well, of course. he has been chancellor, of course, the prime minister, so he is well—versed in all of those issues. and also, i should say as chancellor did an awful lot to help the climate change agenda and provide a lot of funding, particularly last year, for the one in glasgow. they got a lot of that early work done. the chancellor is finishing that off, and that has meant the prime minister can go to cop27, in egypt. that is where he is now and where i am going later in the week. last ear's am going later in the week. last year's targets — am going later in the week. last year's targets have _ am going later in the week. last year's targets have not been met. so what is the point of these summits? well, look, it is true there is a huge challenge globally to bring the world along. it is worth knowing that we finished the uk's presidency, alok sharma was the president, refinish it this when he
7:36 am
took that over, when the uk took that overcome about 30% of the world was signed up to net zero by 2050, to get to that position by halfway through the century. today that is 90% of the gdp of the world signed up. it has gone from 30 to 90%. that is quite an achievement during the uk presidency. there is a lot more to do. that is what is being discussed this week and next in egypt. discussed this week and next in egypt i discussed this week and next in egypt. i will be joining those discussions. but the prime minister today announcing £65 million of funding to make sure that energy can be produced elsewhere in the world in a way which is sustainable. and actually, i am in a way which is sustainable. and actually, iam here in a way which is sustainable. and actually, i am here in teesside today, announcing a green refinery for lithium, the first, not only in this country, but the first in europe. it will be taking place right here in the north—east, being built right here. you right here in the north-east, being built right here.— right here in the north-east, being built right here. you mention when rishi sunak — built right here. you mention when rishi sunak was _ built right here. you mention when rishi sunak was chancellor. - built right here. you mention when rishi sunak was chancellor. in - built right here. you mention when| rishi sunak was chancellor. in fact,

williamson has apologised because i think in retrospect he rather wishes he had not sent them. they would be inappropriate in any format, whether thatis inappropriate in any format, whether that is in government, in business, frankly, between friends. one should never send messages like that. sometimes people get frustrated. that is why it is right to have a process to look into that and come to a judgment. i'm sure that will happen relatively quickly.- happen relatively quickly. grant sha s, happen relatively quickly. grant shapps, business _ happen relatively quickly. grant shapps, business secretary, i happen relatively quickly. grant shapps, business secretary, thank you. it is almost a quarter to eight. let's talk tojohn about it is almost a quarter to eight. let's talk to john about the it is almost a quarter to eight. let's talk tojohn about the sport. let's talk to john about the sport. good let's talk tojohn about the sport. good morning. a busy let's talk to john about the sport. good morning. a busy weekend let's talk tojohn about the sport. good morning. a busy weekend and a disappointing one for england in their opening match of the autumn internationals in rugby. it is a barometer of where teams are at, where all the home nations are at as we build to the world cup next year. and to lose at home against argentina, a team that have not enjoyed any real success there in recent times, to lose by a point in
7:44 am
what was a disappointing showing, will frustrate england. the next time they face each other is in the opening match of the world cup in september. a disappointing weekend for them. morning. it was a first defeat for england at twickenham against argentina in 16 years, one eddiejones said would lead to some uncomfortable conversations. a year out from the world cup, some costly errors hurt england, who were leading at half time, but two tries in quick succession changed the game for argentina, who were able to put over a penalty that kept them in front at the end. and with a defeat for wales on saturday and a less than convincing victory for scotland, an indication of where the home nations are at with paris 2023 looming on the horizion. jones has called on a response with matches againstjapan, new zealand and world champions south africa to come. arsenal are back on top of the premier league after beating chelsea. meanwhile, liverpool manager jurgen klopp compared mo salah
7:45 am
to some of the great strikers in the club's history as they beat spurs. he scored two yesterday in their 2—1 win at spurs, his first came afterjust ten minutes before he doubled their lead just before the half time. signs the club are perhaps not facing the demise many had feared and salah's double act drawing high praise from his manager. kenny dalglish probably had spells where he didn't score, ian rush had them probably, and robbie fowler might have had them, i'm not sure. when you see the goal rush and you think he has scored all the time. but i'm pretty sure they didn't. and then when you look back and realise, oh, that was a real legacy, wow. and it will be with mo, 100%. can you imagine having this sort of start, yourfirst game in charge? unai emery at aston villa watching his side beat manchester united 3—1. and moves them three points clear of the relegation zone. arsenal are back on top

lot of important voices to be heard, also important voices who will not be here, we have not got the leaders of china, india or russia. the american president not coming till friday so some of the biggest leaders of the world are missing, some of the biggest emitters are missing. but they are all talking about tackling climate change. what about tackling climate change. what kind of impact _ about tackling climate change. what kind of impact can _ about tackling climate change. what kind of impact can a _ about tackling climate change. what kind of impact can a conference like this actually have?— this actually have? that's a key question- _ this actually have? that's a key question. this _ this actually have? that's a key question. this is _ this actually have? that's a key question. this is the _ this actually have? that's a key question. this is the only - this actually have? that's a key| question. this is the only forum this actually have? that's a key - question. this is the only forum we have for getting the whole world together to discuss climate change and it take to the whole world to solve this problem because every country contributes to the carbon dioxide that is warming and atmosphere. so we do need this to work. but, as i said in my report, these are really tricky discussions. the bottom line is, these are about cash and lots of cash. not millions, not billions, but hundreds of
8:07 am
billions and in the future we will be talking trillions of dollars. so a huge transfer of cash from the developed world to the developing world on the basis that, and this is what the argument is of the developing world for years, you cause the crisis getting witch burning fossil fuels, you cause the crisis getting witch burning fossilfuels, you have cause the crisis getting witch burning fossil fuels, you have got to help us solve it. but talking about money is always difficult so these discussions will be complex and tricky. these discussions will be complex and tric . . ~ these discussions will be complex and tric . ., ~ i. the prime minister has said expletive—laden text messages sent by sir gavin williamson to a colleague are "unacceptable". downing street confirmed the prime minister knew about a complaint against sir gavin before appointing him to cabinet, but had not seen the messages. let's speak to our chief political correspondent nick eardley who's in westminster. we know the prime minister having arrived in egypt but i want to how much pressure he is facing back home? a, �* , home? morning, ben. there is definitely _ home? morning, ben. there is definitely pressure _ home? morning, ben. there is definitely pressure to - home? morning, ben. there is definitely pressure to explain l home? morning, ben. there is definitely pressure to explain a home? morning, ben. there is i definitely pressure to explain a bit more about this appointment because
8:08 am
we know that rishi sunak was warned about a complaint about gavin williamson. the prime minister has told the sun newspaper overnight that he had not seen the messages until they appeared in a newspaper over the weekend. gavin williamson sent a bunch of messages to the person in charge of conservative party discipline, wendy morton, which were full of swear words, which were full of swear words, which seemed pretty angry, which some have seen is quite threatening. we had the business secretary grant shapps on the programme earlier, he said that these messages were inappropriate, that they should not have been sent, but there was no process looking into them. my understanding is that mr williamson has not been told that initial investigation is under way by the conservative party, but it does raise questions i think over rishi sunak�*sjudgment. we now have a cloud over the appointment of gavin williamson, questions about whether mr sunak should have put him in the
8:09 am
cabinet. and you will remember that last week, there were all the questions about the home secretary as well. she got herjob back despite being told to resign by liz truss for breaking the ministerial code by sending private e—mails, sorry, work e—mails on a private account. there were also all those questions about whether she took enough action to deal with the backlog of asylum seekers at the manston centre in kent. that's been really controversial, because behind the scenes there have been accusations that miss braverman didn't do enough work to make sure that the government was complying with the law. this morning we heard from grant shapps who was the person who took over from miss braverman the first time she was forced to resign, and he suggested as well that enough work had not been done to clearly asylum backlog. certainly, the concern was that we
8:10 am
would _ certainly, the concern was that we would be — certainly, the concern was that we would be in — certainly, the concern was that we would be in a position where people were unintentionally being detained, which _ were unintentionally being detained, which would not be legal. so i wanted — which would not be legal. so i wanted to make sure we remained within_ wanted to make sure we remained within the — wanted to make sure we remained within the law or at least showed that we _ within the law or at least showed that we were trying to rectify the situation — that we were trying to rectify the situation. the advice i had was very. _ situation. the advice i had was very. very— situation. the advice i had was very, very clear on that. the home secretary— very, very clear on that. the home secretary obviously agrees, because she has— secretary obviously agrees, because she has continued to follow the same policy— she has continued to follow the same policy that— she has continued to follow the same policy that i _ she has continued to follow the same policy that i put in place.— policy that i put in place. suella braverman _ policy that i put in place. suella braverman has _ policy that i put in place. suella braverman has said _ policy that i put in place. suella braverman has said that - policy that i put in place. suella braverman has said that she . policy that i put in place. suella| braverman has said that she did policy that i put in place. suella - braverman has said that she did not do anything to try and stop alternative accommodation being found for people being kept at manston, but i think what mr schatz has just said will raise a whole bunch of new questions —— but i think what grant shapps has just said will raise a whole lot of questions about whether enough was donein questions about whether enough was done in the home of his under suella braverman to deal with this issue. it all means that the prime minister as he arrives in egypt for cop27 is facing domestic pressures as well over hisjudgment and facing domestic pressures as well over his judgment and whether the integrity and professionalism he promises being exhibited in the
8:11 am
appointment of suella braverman and gavin williamson.— gavin williamson. thank you very much. train commuters have been urged to check if their services are running this morning, after a planned strike was called off. the majority of rail operators say that because the walk—out was cancelled so late, they will be running a reduced timetable. some services on wednesday are also likely to be disrupted. ahead of the men's football world cup, prince william has been discussing mental health with england players harry kane and declan rice. they hope their open conversation will help highlight the importance of supporting mental wellbeing. our royal correspondent daniela relph has more. two footballers and one royal fan, who opened up about the challenges of supporting england. you know, handling some of those really disappointing england results of the past, that was hard. i found that really difficult because again, the same euphoria that we had comes crashing down and whittles away, and that's quite hard to take because you feel all on a high, you feel together
8:12 am
and then suddenly normal life just gets back on again and it's like, where did that all go? was that real, what happened, and how do i get that feeling back? and yet football has that ability to just put it all on a plate for you and suddenly take it all away. the prince of wales has spoken to a number of players in recent years about how they managed their own well—being. football has become an effective way of communicating, and encouraging men in particular to open up, to share their worries and to find the right help when they need it. i'm after my role model here, you know? in his latest conversation, there was a focus on england's agonising defeat to italy in the euro finals last summer. harry kane and declan rice told the prince the loss and the recovery was a real test of their mental strength. to come as close as a penalty shoot—out, and within that moment, you are literally seconds away from having the biggest high you're probably ever going to have, to all of a sudden having one
8:13 am
of the biggest lows you're ever going to have. the togetherness we showed| when we all came in a huddle after we had lost that, - and gareth said some really, you know, important words. i think that brought us all together because then we had to qualify - for a world cup in the next round of games. _ whoever you are, whatever your life experience, open up and get the right help, the advice from this team of prince and players. daniela relph, bbc news. one of the uk's best—known comedians, peter kay, really important conversation there. they talk about the highs and lows and thinks that perhaps in normal life that you don't have, but the absolute extremes, and how you handle them and cope with them, really important, those conversations. i really important, those conversations.- really important, those conversations. . ., ., ., ~ conversations. i am going to talk about an extraordinary _ conversations. i am going to talk about an extraordinary high - conversations. i am going to talkj about an extraordinary high now! this is good news! one of the uk's best—known comedians, peter kay,
8:14 am
has announced his first stand—up tour in more than a decade. the 49—year—old has been out of the spotlight for much of the last four years after he cancelled a string of shows in 2017 due to "unforeseen family circumstances". announcing the new tour last night, he said it was good to get back to what he loves doing best. a lot of his jokes involve the weather, don't they? he talks about fine the rain. weather, don't they? he talks about fine the rain-— fine the rain. soaks you through. carol knows _ fine the rain. soaks you through. carol knows all— fine the rain. soaks you through. carol knows all about _ fine the rain. soaks you through. carol knows all about that, - fine the rain. soaks you through. l carol knows all about that, haven't got fine lorraine today? that will soak you through? we have got heavy rain which will soak you through! a lot of us have heavy rain today and some showers in the forecast and gusty winds. we have got it all going on. one or two brighter skies in north—east and south—east england and northern scotland but you can see the showers continue as we go through the day. some of them will be heavy and some
8:15 am
of us will miss them, and as we travel further north, the rain will edge slowly eastwards. some will be heavy and thundery, still some showers in northern ireland and in parts of scotland as we head through the afternoon. don't forget those gusty winds. temperatures ii in the north to 16 in the south. if anything the wind is going to pick up this evening and overnight, particularly across the irish sea, south—west england come into the english channel as well. we could have cussed in the english channel up have cussed in the english channel up to 70 miles an hour. coupled with some high tides, some very large waves, 45 metres high around west cornwall and the english channel. there is the risk of localised flooding. it is not going to be a cold night tonight, for many it will be another mild one. tomorrow, the squally rain which crosses us overnight clears away, behind it we see a rash of showers in the west. on a brisk winter they will go
8:16 am
towards the east but they will be fewer and further of between ten today. you will still catch the odd heavy one. although the winds will not be as strong, it will be pretty gusty. temperatures, ten in the north to iii gusty. temperatures, ten in the north to 1a in the south. families who have lost loved ones to gambling addiction are urging the government to publish its long—awaited review of the uk's betting laws. the so—called white paper was commissioned almost two years ago, but has been delayed four times. ministers have told bbc breakfast it will be published "within weeks", but campaigners say the longer it takes, the more lives will be damaged. jayne mccubbin has more. the beautiful game used to be so simple. so what are you betting on? anything, corners, cards, you name it. not any more. i put £5 a month into an online gambling software, which told me about the amount of fouls players do and yellow cards. yeah, it's a seven fold goals - galore, need both teams to score.
8:17 am
i've got three in at the minute. let's place a little bet on this afternoon's game. gambling has never been easier and some say riskier. it's all about the next goal. there have been government attempts to make it safer, but a long promised overhaul of gambling laws is still nowhere to be seen. we've come to tranmere rovers to meet three men who say government inaction is costing lives. so this is ryan? that's ryan on our last holidays together. we came home on the friday and killed himself on the sunday afternoon. john's son ryan had a gambling addiction. he was 27 when he killed himself. he tried to stop. he tried to get off. one of the things he said again was the adverts. "when i try to get off, i can't get away from it. it's everywhere. as soon as i'm finished, they're texting me straightaway. offering me free bets." for me, it's part of the grooming to get them in there. the visibility for you
8:18 am
is a form of grooming. yeah, it is, it's a form of grooming. that could have been my mum sitting there. james is a recovering addict. and ijust feel angry, actually, that gambling advertising is still allowed in football when we know it's killing people. both the betting industry and those who run football insist there's no link between gambling adverts and addiction. here at league two tranmere, they fundamentally disagree. the game itself, i think, is an absolutely ideal platform that is being used and exploited by the gambling community to the detriment of our community. we were approached to put terminals in the ground and we didn't. the difficulty is we can say no to that, but the actual terminals are in everybody�*s phone, in everybody�*s hand. what would you say to the people watching this, saying, but you don't restrict the whole drink sector because alcoholics exist? if you're an alcoholic,
8:19 am
trying to stop drinking, you don't have the local barman come round your house and give you 100 free shots of vodka. this is not about stopping people gambling. this is stopping exploitative gambling. peter shilton spent 30 years as a professional footballer and 35 years as a gambling addict. i mean, when i started gambling it was sort of in the '70s and it was a totally different ball game. you know, it was three high street bookmakers you used to have an account with. the whole industry has changed completely. i opened peter's bank statement and added up what he'd lost in a month and i actually had an anxiety attack. my god, this is chronic. he's really ill. when i finished playing football, you know, it became more and more, especially when the internet gambling came on. and i hate to see the way that football's being used to promote gambling, and especially for youngsters. it's down to the government to stand up now since 2005 and make some serious changes. and if they don't, there's only one reason,
8:20 am
and that is because of money. this is an industry which has changed beyond all recognition, and the 2005 gambling act took shape before any of this really existed. the white paper to play catch up, well, that has been shelved four times and it's been through the hands so far of five different ministers. on—course bookmakers are perhaps the only part of the gambling industry which has stayed almost the same, and this sector believes a sense of urgency is desperately needed. introduction of the gambling act 2005 probably left the door open for a bit of a free for all. perhaps the government needs to take back a bit of that control. the betting and gaming council say they support the gambling review as an opportunity to raise standards, but any changes introduced by the government must not drive gamblers towards the growing unsafe unregulated black market. all eyes are now on paul scully, who, as the fifth minister at the helm, has promised to finally publish the white paper within weeks.
8:21 am
jayne mccubbin, bbc news. we're joined now by liz and charles ritchie, whose sonjack took his own life after struggling with a gambling addiction. and will prochaska, who's the strategy director at gambling with lives. i will come to you first, liz, thank you so much for coming back in, i know we have spoken to you before about this. tell me how that is for you today, watching that report. and how frustrated you might be feeling? to be honest, angry, actually. because, you know, our son took his life after real struggles, and he was misled. the information is so misleading, that there is not many people struggling, and when he first went into the bookies, when he was underage, with his friends, from
8:22 am
school, big party of them, going into the bookies, he thought it was safe. why would he not? it was badged as being a bit of fun. and that's the point about it being misleading. it is badged as being a leisure pursuit, it's not. it's the sale of an addictive product. in some of these products have higher addiction and at this rate than heroin. and afterjack died, we set “p heroin. and afterjack died, we set up gambling with lives because we saw so many families struggling with this and we wanted to make sure that other families didn't suffer like we suffer every day. i have spoken to so many bereaved mums, and they always say my heart is broken. and i don't want to have to keep doing that. and we can stop this, we can stop this. but it's up to the government. i mean, when are we going to get this?— going to get this? charles, that is the question. _ going to get this? charles, that is the question, isn't _ going to get this? charles, that is the question, isn't it? _ going to get this? charles, that is the question, isn't it? delayed, . going to get this? charles, that is| the question, isn't it? delayed, as we said, four times. what

8:47 am
down in the murky depths of the english channel, the ss virago lies on the sea bed, thousands of miles away from her intended destination. as the divers got closer, mysterious objects began to loom out of the darkness. the wreck lies in 45 metres of water. it's probably in the most tidal area in the uk. when the divers dive, they've got a maximum 20 minutes window in a neat tide and it's a very tricky place to dive. but when the divers went down onto the wreck the first things they saw were these big stationary steam engines, and lots and lots of ironwork. the more they spun around, the more wheels and grind stones and lots of bits of machinery. there's a thousand tonnes of metal there and we've got no idea at the moment what most of it is. virago was due to arrive in the port of odesa,
8:48 am
but it was a journey she would not complete. she left hull in 1882, fully loaded with over 1000 tonnes of machinery and, it's thought, over a thousand tonnes of coal. but she only made it as far as the english channel before mysteriously sinking two miles off the coast of alderney. we know that there was fog in the channel on that day or that night. but she's two miles from any bit of land. why couldn't the crew get into the lifeboats? i mean, she had these beautiful lifeboats, top quality, and nobody was saved. and yet, foggy night, flat calm, you would have thought people would have escaped. they were 26 people on board when virago sunk. no one survived. and to this day, the boat is still registered as missing. in the 19th century the loss of ships was greeted in much the same way as car crashes would be
8:49 am
reported in the paper today. we didn't have the sophistication we have got today in terms of navigation, in terms of ship construction, or the like. the losses did occur on an all too regular basis. it's thought there are many more wrecks like this in the english channel, just waiting to be discovered. for lifelong diver richard it's a discovery like no other. well, i've been diving commercially 55 years. it's the most interesting wreck. it's once in a lifetime. i'd never believe that a rag like that would exist in that area, be there 140 years, and nobody had really found it or looked at it, but we've yet to explore the whole of the rack. so what caused virago to enter up here? was it a storm, even sabotage?
8:50 am
the discovery of this wreck leaves more questions than answers. euan duncan, bbc news, in the channel islands. many dog owners, i would say most dog owners, now their pet is super special. but a new cbeebies show is highlighting the vital work of five superhero assistance dogs. dog squad follows the funny and heart—warming adventures of kika, diesel, megee, sylvie and tinks as they support their owners in everyday life, here they are in action. right, careful amit. forward, kika. i'm especially trained for escalators, but they can be dangerous. not too late. just perfect. when we lower meggy out of the helicopter, we have to use these special dog goggles.
