good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. figures out in an hour's time are expected to confirm the economy is shrinking amid widespread predictions that the uk is heading for recession. good morning from february in bristol, where i will be looking at why that gross domestic product figure is important for you. the nhs in england spent £3 billion on agency staff last year, as around one in ten roles remain vacant.

at iiam at ”am this morning, the uk will be asked to full silent for two minutes to mark armistice day, and the beginning of a weekend of remembrance commemorations. great britain cause a huge upset in the tennis as they stun spain in glasgow to reach the semi—finals of the world team event for the first time in 41 years. and whilst the rain continues to fall in north—west scotland, the story for most of us is just how mild it is out there and will be this weekend with an increasing amount of sunshine. all of the details coming up here on breakfast. it's friday, the 11th of november. our main story. official figures are expected to confirm this morning that the uk economy shrank in the third quarter of the year between july and september. economists say it could mark the start of what's predicted to be a two—year long recession. let's get more details now from hannah, who is at a brewery in bristol.

good morning, hannah. the reason you are there is obviously it was the chain, how everything links in terms of spending as we see how the economy is doing.— of spending as we see how the economy is doing. yeah, and how laces economy is doing. yeah, and how places like _ economy is doing. yeah, and how places like this _ economy is doing. yeah, and how places like this contributes - economy is doing. yeah, and how places like this contributes to - economy is doing. yeah, and how places like this contributes to the | places like this contributes to the economy locally, providejobs, that is why this gross domestic product figure that we are getting this morning is really important. what is gdp? it is the value of all the goods and services that we make and sell across the country. what we want to see is growth, that means that there will be more jobs and more investment up and down the country. we get these figures four times a year, and the last update showed that the economy had grown by 0.2% in the three months up tojune. today, though, we are expecting to see a full and when we get a negative number, as you say, that means that the economy is shrinking. the bank of england previously

warned that the uk is facing possibly the longest recession since records began, and it could last until 202a. we are not going to go into recession today, because in order to have a recession, you have to have six months of negative growth, where the economy is shrinking. today's figure would give us three months and it's possible that we might be in recession by christmas. why is that important? it's bad for your bank balance, potentially, because it means there are fewerjobs to go around, unemployment could rise. it's also bad for the government's bank balance, because it means that they potentially have less taxes to spend on public services. like education and health. that's another reason why today's figure will be looked at very chancellor —— very carefully by the chancellor as he prepares to make decisions in the autumn statement next week.- make decisions in the autumn statement next week. thank you, very much. there's a been a significant rise in the amount of money the nhs

is spending on freelance doctors, nurses and other health staff in an effort to cope with short—staffing. bbc research shows more than £3 billion was paid to agency staff in england alone last year with increases also seen across the other home nations. the department of health in england says it's working to help recruit and support nhs staff. the king's fund research group says the nhs faces some difficult decisions. the nhs has been trying to find greater efficiencies for a long, long time. but when i talk to clinical leaders, they are really, really nervous that they are going to have to make some really hard choices if they are going to stay in their budgets. and those kind of choices will be things like reducing the number of staff they use. or reducing the number of beds they have in hospital. and you can see those are really going to have an impact on the quality and access to patient care. ukraine's army says it has made major gains around the port city of kherson, following russia's announcement it was withdrawing its troops from the area. let's get the latest now from our correspondent catherine byaruhanga who joins us

speaking to the ukrainian government, trying to urge it to start considering negotiations with moscow to try and bring a peaceful end to this conflict. i have been speaking to the ukraine's prosecutor general and a close ally of president zelensky. he told me that the ukrainian government is not considering negotiations with moscow. we considering negotiations with moscow. ~ ., ., considering negotiations with moscow. ., ., ~ ., ., considering negotiations with moscow. ., ., «a, ., , moscow. we are now ukrainian is -a in: moscow. we are now ukrainian is paying the _ moscow. we are now ukrainian is paying the price _ moscow. we are now ukrainian is paying the price by _ moscow. we are now ukrainian is paying the price by our _ moscow. we are now ukrainian is paying the price by our blood, - moscow. we are now ukrainian is paying the price by our blood, for people _ paying the price by our blood, for peopie in— paying the price by our blood, for people in europe to live may be a little _ people in europe to live may be a little bit — people in europe to live may be a little bit worse than they lived before, — little bit worse than they lived before, but they lived as usual now. they don't _ before, but they lived as usual now. they don't hear missiles, they don't know_ they don't hear missiles, they don't know what— they don't hear missiles, they don't know what is bombing, they don't know_ know what is bombing, they don't know what— know what is bombing, they don't know what is bombing, they don't know what is killing, rape. fine know what is bombing, they don't know what is killing, rape.- know what is killing, rape. one of the wa s know what is killing, rape. one of the ways that _ know what is killing, rape. one of the ways that so _ know what is killing, rape. one of the ways that so many _ know what is killing, rape. one of the ways that so many of - know what is killing, rape. one of the ways that so many of us - know what is killing, rape. one of. the ways that so many of us around the ways that so many of us around the world have been affected by the conflict in ukraine is higherfood prices. 0ne conflict in ukraine is higherfood prices. one thing that was

introduced was the black sea grain initiative, a deal brokered by the un, to allow ukraine to export its food despite a reduction blockade. —— russian blockade. that deal comes to an end next weekend and we are expecting talks in geneva between russian officials and the un to see if this deal can continue so that is something we will be looking at. thank you, catherine. the former chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, says he warned liz truss to "slow down" from what he called the "breakneck speed" with which she introduced new policies as prime minister. mr kwarteng made the comments in an interview with talk tv, the first time he has spoken out since he lost his job last month. we're joined by our politicial correspondent, iain watson. good morning, take us through what has been said by the former chancellor.— has been said by the former chancellor. , ., ., ., chancellor. yes, charlie, good morning- _ chancellor. yes, charlie, good morning. kwasi— chancellor. yes, charlie, good morning. kwasi kwarteng - chancellor. yes, charlie, good. morning. kwasi kwarteng broke chancellor. yes, charlie, good - morning. kwasi kwarteng broke his silence after his 38 day stint as chancellor of the exchequer in his

talk tv interview. effectively his message was that the mini budget that he presided over that the measures of —— that the measures in it had gone far too quickly and fast, and although he said that he bought some response ready for it, he tended to shift the blame as far as possible onto liz truss. pointing out she was very dynamic, very forceful, in a hurry. and he said that he had warned her that if he was sacked, this is how things would turn out. i was sacked, this is how things would turn out. ~ ., , ., ., was sacked, this is how things would turn out. ~ .,, ., ., a turn out. i think it was too quick. he made the _ turn out. i think it was too quick. he made the argument - turn out. i think it was too quick. he made the argument to - turn out. i think it was too quick. he made the argument to the i turn out. i think it was too quick. . he made the argument to the prime minister, go slow at the time? i said, actually, after the budget, because — said, actually, after the budget, because we were going very fast, even _ because we were going very fast, even after— because we were going very fast, even after the mini budget, we were going _ even after the mini budget, we were going at— even after the mini budget, we were going at breakneck speed. and i said. _ going at breakneck speed. and i said. we — going at breakneck speed. and i said, we should slow down, slow down _ said, we should slow down, slow down. �* . , , said, we should slow down, slow| down-_ she down. and what did she say? she said, i've down. and what did she say? she said. we only _ down. and what did she say? she said, i've only got _ down. and what did she say? she said, i've only got two _ down. and what did she say? she said, i've only got two years, - down. and what did she say? she said, i've only got two years, and j down. and what did she say? shel said, i've only got two years, and i said, _ said, i've only got two years, and i said. you _ said, i've only got two years, and i said. you will— said, i've only got two years, and i said, you will only have two months if you _ said, you will only have two months if you carry — said, you will only have two months if you carry on like this, and in fact, _ if you carry on like this, and in fact, that's _ if you carry on like this, and in fact, that's what happened. and she in fact only had _ fact, that's what happened. and she in fact only had one _ fact, that's what happened. and she in fact only had one week _ fact, that's what happened. and she in fact only had one week so - fact, that's what happened. and she

in place. a few splashes of light rain and drizzle in the breeze but for the majority there will be a dry start your friday, cloudy, some breaks in the cloud to the south and east, some sunny spells coming through and in the sunshine it will feel especially warm. but tempered by the breeze, strongest of the north and west where winds could be cutting up to 60 miles an hour. look at these temperatures, could be up to 19 celsius. an unusually warm day for november. through tonight we will see patchy rain pushed across scotland and northern ireland, reaching into northern england and walking —— working its way north. in the clear skies in the north, temperatures down to three or a degrees. so a cooler start here. for the weekend it will stay on the mild side for england and wales, less windy and a lot more sunshine. more details later. those temperatures are remarkable. find details later. those temperatures are remarkable.— are remarkable. and credible for this sta . e are remarkable. and credible for this stage of _ are remarkable. and credible for this stage of november. - are remarkable. and credible for this stage of november. and - are remarkable. and credible for this stage of november. and we | are remarkable. and credible for- this stage of november. and we will find out if the _

"heroes denied truth" is the mirror's headline. it reports that veterans of britain's nuclear testing could have been denied proper care because their blood records were kept hidden and that some are still fighting to get their full medical records 70 years on.

a picture of peace and tranquility. but a0 years ago, this was known as bomb alley, with argentine jets attacking a british task force sent to liberate these islands on the other side of the world. you see that really grainy footage now, but it takes you right back. planes screaming through here and everybodyjust shooting at it. it was wild. gary marshall and mark white were here in may 1982 in the first wave of the assault. this is the first time they've returned, and it's bringing back painful memories. they came over the hill, two pucaras, and dropped the bombs onto the actual refrigeration plant. we lost quite a few guys in that and one of them was aaron's uncle paul.

he was wounded during the attack and he subsequently died of his wounds on the 10th ofjune, you know, four days before the end of the actual conflict itself. so, sad. sad time. some of their comrades who never came back, never lived to tell the tale, now lie in this small cemetery. it's for the survivors to honour and remember. but for gary platt, this return has not been easy. he's been putting it off for a0 years. i don't really think we closed, i didn't close that book. i kind ofjust left the ending unread, which is something that most people like to put closure on. certainly when you lose people,

there needs to be an end point or a point where you get comfortable, even if it doesn't finish. is this the end point for you, the closure? it needs to be a place i'm comfortable with and i haven't been so far. so i need to be comfortable that my survivor guilt and that my anguish at what i went through and certainly the pain that i see others still to this day going through, i need to get to a place where i can accept that. are you at peace here? not yet. but you're glad you came? you are. gary lost three good friends in this short ten week war. mates who he never had a chance to say a proper goodbye. this is where he came and this is where he ended. and so he's still here, i think.

yeah. jackie giffin has come to remember her brother. brett patrick giffin was one of the first casualties of the war, killed when his helicopter was shot down. he was buried at sea. there is no grave forjackie to visit. for her, there'll always be a void. but this trip has provided comfort. coming here and meeting people, ex—soldiers that were there, has meant an awful lot because it was real. and they say, "oh, i know him and i knew him," and "oh, i remember the gazelles went down," and, yeah. so that's very sort of reassuring. very comforting in a strange way. it may now be a0 years ago, but in the falklands they'll never be forgotten. here in the capital, stanley, there's a silhouette for each of the 255 british servicemen

who lost their lives. they died 8,000 miles from home. but here, they'll always be remembered. the distance of time may have made these islands even more remote to many. but the british forces who fought here are still living with this conflict. a war which, though painful, they still believe was just. jonathan beale, bbc news, the falkland islands. 0ur our thanks go to gary and jackie who were sharing their memories and what it means to go back at this moment in time. you may remember the story of lilian thorpe, who found the grave of her stillborn son 60 years after his death. in those days babies who were stillborn were taken away and buried by the hospital so she never had a chance to cuddle him, or say goodbye. the story inspired many other families to go in search of the final resting place of their stillborn babies

including marjorie rigby whose baby daughter died 76 years ago. suzanne hailey has been to hear her story. marjorie and charlie rigby, pictured here on their wedding day in 19a5, three days before ve day. a year after the second world war had ended, marjorie, who'd worked as a plotter in the women's auxiliary air force, was expecting her first baby. there was no prenatal care in those days, and you just lived your normal life without any extra care. just got on with it, really, because it was my first baby and both my husband and i had been through the war. i was promised a treat, so i was booked into a private nursing home. but the labour turned out to be very long. it was actually three days. the matron called the consultant from the hospital and hejust

spoke to her, really, rather than to me, and said, this baby's dead, we'll get her into hospital. a month overdue, marjorie delivered her stillborn baby girl after a highly traumatic labour. and then i was just taken back to my room and left. nobody came to talk to me or tell me how to get on with life, you know. i was just left. i was in there for a fortnight, which was normal in those days. and then ijust went home and carried on. marjorie went on to have two more daughters. she says it was later in her life that she felt the trauma of what happened. ijust thought, well, if she's gone in an incinerator, she's gone and that's it. i didn't...| didn't think about — i tried not to think

about it, really. life went on, but marjorie never forgot her baby girl, who she named laura. every year, i get a new diary at christmas and the first date i put in there is september the 3rd — laura's birthday. every year for 70 odd years. now, at the age of 102, marjorie is a great grandmother. herfamily have helped her to heal over the years. this is a memorial plaque that my daughter made for my mum to acknowledge the birth of her stillborn baby. earlier this year, 76 years after losing her baby, marjorie and her family found baby laura's resting place in stockport cemetery. we found out that our sister had her own little coffin and had been buried with five other babies and an adult — in an unmarked plot,

but that doesn't matter. so we told mum and we went to see the plot. just took a little bunch of flowers from the garden. and the look of peace on mum's face was worth everything. it was just amazing. at least it's acknowledged finally, hasn't it, mum? definitely. yeah, it's sort of peace now. marjorie and herfamily were helped by the charity brief lives remembered, who also helped them to secure a still birth certificate. it's really been a big relief to know where she is and that she was actually put in a coffin with other babies. a lifetime and beyond. time is a healer, but grief like this stops the clocks. finally, for marjorie, answers. the truth and closure. i'm not happy, but i know

it's got a conclusion. and i can sort of close my mind off now as to what might have happened. i know what has happened. suzanne hailey, bbc news. marjorie's words at the end to sum it up perfectly, as far as she and the family's consent. she is 102, so thank you to her and all of her family for that. to thank you to her and all of her family for that.— thank you to her and all of her family for that. to wait that long with that conclusion _ family for that. to wait that long with that conclusion with - family for that. to wait that long with that conclusion with such i with that conclusion with such dignity, very moving. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm thomas magill. young people are being encouraged to get their meningitis vaccine after new research found uptake has been worryingly low in london. experts say nearly one in five

18—year—olds missed their routine vaccine in secondary school, leaving them unprotected. in some areas, such as islington and hackney, this number was higher, with 35% of 18—year—olds unprotected. as people prepare to rememberfallen soldiers for armistice day, one of the few remaining british indian soldiers who fought in world war ii has been speaking of his pride. 97—year—old sergeant mohammad hussain, from windsor, was one of hundreds of thousands of indians who fought. he's been speaking to bbc london's asad ahmad about how he was prepared to pay the ultimate price. i fight for the british. be loyal to the british crown. was it difficult for you? son, it doesn't matter about the difficulty.

because we were ready to die for the british. and there will be a two—minute silence at 11am this morning to mark armistice day. tube lines are expected to get back to a normal service today — but it won't be until mid—morning. it follows yesterday's rmt strike, their sixth this year, which brought most of the london underground to a halt. transport for london advise commuters to plan ahead and check before they travel. well let's see how the tube's looking at the moment lots of issues — all lines are suspened except for the northern line that has a reduced service between edgware and golders green and high barnet to finchley central. and the dlr and elizabeth line are running as normal. the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. it was exceptionally mild across the capital last night. we are starting off today, armistice day, with temperatures in the low teens in celsius.

lots of low cloud initially, we have still got the strength of that brisk south—westerly wind blowing as well. but through the afternoon in particular, there will be a lot more sunshine than we saw yesterday. that's because the wind will ease down, it's coming more from the south and eventually the south—east. sojust a drierfeed of air, really. it will stay dry throughout the day, we will see temperatures peaking around 16 or 17 celsius. that's around five or six celsius above the seasonal average. now, overnight tonight, the winds are lighter and there will be a lot of clear skies around as well. we will see some mist and fog develop into tomorrow morning, and that could be quite stubborn to lift and clear. but it's a cooler start to the day on saturday, the mist and fog will lift and there will be a lot of sunshine around. set to stay dry over the weekend, still warm on saturday but cooler and cloudier probably for remembrance sunday. that's it from me, much more on our website, and bbc radio london.

i will be back in 30 minutes. hello this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up on the show this morning. sam smith strikes again, fresh from yet another number one, the singer songwriter willjoin us on the sofa to discuss their upcoming album and tour. maybe this is more your thing. a trip to the 805. spandau ballet's martin kemp will be here to talk about his latest book dedicated to the era of the new romantics. and we'll hear about the amateur film—makers from bradford whose efforts have finally made it to the big screen —

after 90 years of trying. with the world cup just around the corner and christmas fast approaching, it's the time of year that many businesses rely on festivities to boost their sales. but the outlook for the uk economy is gloomy and the latest figures released in the next half—hour are expected to highlight that. hannah's at a brewery in bristol this morning to explain what it all means. it is all about the real economy and how it feels for people? it is. they brew around 70,000 pints a year in this brewery. 70,000 a week, not a year, i am sorry. introducing you to clem elphick from bristol beer factory who can talk is through how costs have gone up. the

numbers through how costs have gone up. tue: numbers the through how costs have gone up. tte: numbers the talking through how costs have gone up. t"t2 numbers the talking and through how costs have gone up. tt2 numbers the talking and this through how costs have gone up. t“t2 numbers the talking and this year have seen go up and is we have seen malts go up and is forecasted to go up by a0—50%. c0 300 and and energy huge bills you threefold. 2— £272 ,,-- facina. we threefold. 2— £2,222; we facina. we h threefold. 2— £2,222; we facina. we mm threefold. 2— £2,222; we facina. we are facing. we will have a chat more with you in a second domestic product and the gdp figure we are getting but we will talk through what it means. gdp is the value of all the goods and services we make and sell across the country and what we are looking we make and sell across the country for is and what we are looking for is growth. we get these figures four times a year and the last update showed growth of 0.2% in the three months up tojune. we expect to see a fall today and a negative number means the economy is shrinking. we know the bank of england predicts perhaps the longest recession since records began that could last until

202a. we are not going into recession today because technically for a recession, you have to have six months of negative growth and this would only be three but it gives an indication of the direction the economy is heading. a recession is bad for all of us at home because it can lead to less money for companies that can lead to pay falling and it can mean unemployment rises. as well as being bad potentially for your bank balance, it is bad for the bank balance of the government because it means they bring in less money through taxes so they have less money to spend on public services and health and education which is why the government will be looking closely at these figures today as they prepare for the autumn statement. this place is a good illustration of how a business can help to grow an area. tell me about why you set up

need? but they are in the semifinal. this was the most unlikely and amazing of victories. because having slumped to defeat to kazakstan on tuesday, few gave great britain a chance. because only winning all three of their matches against spain would send them through. but that's exactly what they did. after wins in the singles for heather watson and harriet dart, the doubles pair of alicia barnett and olivia nicholls finished the job in straight sets, to secure a tie against australia in the last four and earn the players a place in the history books of this competition. it was 1981 the last time a british team got this far in the world team event, now known as the now known as the billiejean king cup. i am just so proud of this team. every single player on this team has done themselves proud. the team spirit has been high. also, i just can't thank everyone who has come to support the british team here. yeah, thank you so much. we want to put women's tennis in this country on the map and the support you give us and the team, you help us create

amazing memories, so thank you. australia next up. now to football and james maddison says it's a dream come true to be picked for gareth southgate's, england squad for the upcoming world cup. he's only played once for his country so far, but has been in brilliant form for leicester this season in the premier league. and he posted this on social media last night — a picture of him as a young lad, saying "it hasn't sunk in, i'm going to the world cup. dreams really do come true". another player who's celebrating a recall to the england squad is marcus rashford and he scored in manchester united's a—2 win over aston villa in the league cup last night. rashford was man of the match and scored united's second equaliser, before goals from bruno fernandes and scott mctominay wrapped up the win. the fourth round draw is on the bbc sport website. united will host burnley. man city will play liverpool. england's women will face new zealand in the semi—final of the rugby league world cup. the kiwis lost 10—8 to australia in york to leave

them second in pool b. the victory means australia will play papua new guinea in a double—header on monday. wales will face england in the semi—final of the wheelchair tournament on sunday. they beat scotland 70 points to 36 to finish runners—up in group b. scotland finished bottom of the group after three defeats if you're getting excited about cricket's t20 world cup final on sunday, when england will face pakistan, i'm afraid matt says it will be dominated by the weather, and there's a 100% certainty of heavy rain. that could mean they need to use the reserve day on monday in melbourne, and there's even a chance of the trophy having to be shared. in the knockout stages, at least ten overs per side are needed to consitute a match. in almost 2a hours' time, the england red roses will be getting their women's rugby union world cup final under way in auckland against the hosts new zealand. england have been top of the world rankings

since november 2020 and have won their past 30 tests. now the england lionsesses, leah williamson, tasted success in the euros this year and has sent this message to the red roses ahead of theirfinal. hi, girls, ijust want to wish you all the best for the final on sunday. i am so proud to be english when i watch you. and, yeah, you are heroes in my eyes already, but i know you can do this. so, yeah, can't wait to be watching from home. another sleepless night, i am sure, but, yeah, can't wait to watch you lift that trophy. it is tomorrow. have you ever seen the tv game show ninja warrior? well in six years' time, athletes could be competing for a gold medal in something very similar. it's part of proposals within the sport of modern pentathlon, but it's seen a number of athletes express anger and frustration as well as a current british olympian saying he would quit. matt graveling has more. it's fast, physical

and controversial. in just six years, this ninja warrior—style event could be in the olympics. the activity would replace showjumping as part of modern pentathlon, which made headlines last year when a german coach punched a horse. but britain's reigning olympic champion says if this happens, he will quit. if the fifth discipline of obstacles goes through and the leadership stays the same, i don't think it is an acceptable way to manage a sport so, on principle, i would walk away. this year, obstacle racing has been tested in four countries. organisers say there was an 88% satisfaction rating from participants. however, in an open letter yesterday, us pentathlon athletes said they do not support it.

a vote some say has been achieved using a lack of transparency. modern pentathlon is governed by the uipm. last month, their president, dr klaus schormann, said this. we are looking for the future. we are proud about the past. but never forget change, or you will be changed. with the sport in flux, modern pentathlon is not currently listed for the olympics in 2028. president schormann says it needs to become more appealing and accessible and this is why obstacle racing was chosen from 61 other suggestions during a recent consultation. it was the only option that was tested. the uipm said this was due to time constraints. however, this contract, shown to the bbc, seems to suggest that the uipm had plans tojoin forces with the international obstacle racing federation five years earlier. in a statement, the uipm said...

alex watson competed in modern pentathlon at three olympic games. he has put himself forward to replace dr schormann as president. the sport is in chaos. and it cannot continue. what i would ask the uipm is you said that there was a process of selecting the fifth discipline, but we know they never disclose that they have been in negotiations with obstacle racing for a number of years. tomorrow's vote to switch disciplines requires support from at least two thirds of national federations. so after more than a century of showjumping in modern pentathlon, paris 202a could be the discipline's final games, and possibly the last for some of the sport's current stars, for whom the handling of this change is too big an obstacle to overcome. a big issue. it has been a part of

the olympic since 1912. does it get rid of horse and replace it with obstacle racing. it might make it more accessible. i am still reeling from how fast they go. incredible, the fitness. i think matt would be good at it. why? agile and fast. i would love to, yes. be careful what you say you will do. i have learned from the past. we had a weather forecast for the cricket. melbourne, 100% chance of rain. but even then, showers in the forecast. for cars, the weather here will be better. sunny and warm. incredibly mild at the moment but with winter around the corner, some will be looking at the forecast and energy bills nervously to see what is

happening. but what are the prospects this winter and if you are struggling with bills, what help is available? i took a walk with the cost of living correspondence to find out. it is actually quite mild today and it has been. i haven't taken any risks. it has been incredibly warm autumn so far but, with that, on a cloudy and wet and windy days, it has felt on the cool side. yes, lots of houses feel cooler. people know it is getting colder. and whatever the weather, people's bills are expensive. is there stuff we can do around the house to save money? i suppose even on a sunny day... even the weather — you could use to your advantage. on a sunny day, there is still warmth, even in the winter with that sunshine. a bit of a breeze — get your washing outside. it will dry, even not fully, just a little bit will save you money. not using the tumble dryer can save you around £70, £80 a year. it makes a difference. and if you bring your furniture away from your radiators, the warmth will circulate that

little bit more and that will save you money. draft excluders around doors, windows. that could save, according to the energy saving trust, 60 quid a year. a chimney balloon up your chimney, if you are not using it, stopping that cold breeze coming down, can save £90 a year. is there any help for people right now? right now, people can get hold of the warm homes discount. if you apply through your energy supplier, you could get 150 quid off your bills. if you are on certain types of benefits, if you are vulnerable, it is worth trying for it. there is a limited pot available and it is worth getting your name down early. we are coming into winter. the million—dollar question everybody wants to know the answer to, what is in store? the met office in their outlook for the winter months have said that it could be a fairly average winter, if anything, maybe cooler than we normally expect. it is not great news, but at least for most pensioners, the winter fuel payment is already kicking in. it could be up to 600 quid this

year, because it has been rolled in with a cost of living pensioner payment, an extra chunk of money which will help, at least, with energy bills, whatever the weather. exactly. when is it going to get really cold? i wish i could tell you. unfortunately, the science isn't quite there yet. what i can say is that, across the uk, january is of course the coldest month. it is that month when you see the most number of frosts in the uk. that zero temperature is crucial, because if we get seven days forecast or arriving at zero or below... that is quite a long time. a full week of it, in your particular area, then people qualify for a cold weather payment. for people on certain types of benefits such as universal credit, that is an extra 25 quid a week. the bottom line is no one should be too cold. tell your supplier if you have a child under five or are pregnant, have a disability,

or are a pensioner, and you will not be cut off — whatever the weather brings this winter. that is the key, make sure your energy supplier knows. today, incredibly mild. ridiculously so at this stage in november. temperatures in parts of scotland and northern ireland could be record—breaking to start a november morning. but there is a blustery wind and some have wet weather. this stretch of cloud from near the caribbean and on the eastern side, we are dragging up warm airfrom the eastern side, we are dragging up warm air from the mid—atlantic. eastern side, we are dragging up warm airfrom the mid—atlantic. when it combines with weather fronts, thatis it combines with weather fronts, that is when you get rain. so far it is mainly in the north—west and that is mainly in the north—west and that is where it will stay. 150 millimetres since wednesday in the highlands. it is still raining and will continue to do so much of the day but away from that, like rain,

but the majority have a dry start. cloud appearing. but breaks appearing. the rain sitting in western scotland. edging into northern ireland. temperatures, starting mild. with the gusty wind coming in, may be touching 60 mph, as it goes over the hills, we could see the highest temperatures around the moray firth, maybe up to 19 celsius, 66 fahrenheit. we will start the evening on a mild note. in scotland, rain for time. start the evening on a mild note. in scotland, rainfortime. moving into the far north of england and later moving northwards again. in the clearing skies to the north of that, quite a difference. temperatures could drop to 3—a. elsewhere, mild but not as mild as the night we have just had. lighter winds tomorrow. a lot of cloud. rain and drizzle in

western scotland moving north. overall drying, and for the weekend, many will be happy in the fact it will be dry with a lot of sunshine. highest temperatures on saturday in the south—east where we could see up to 18. sunday, there could be more fog around in the morning but as we go through the night and into sunday, staying largely dry. late on sunday, staying largely dry. late on sunday we see rain creeping towards ireland. most have a sunny sunday. temperatures still on the high side. beyond that, low pressure will spin in. and this is the outlook for the capital cities next week. rain on and off. windy at times. but after temperatures in the upper teens today, back to where we should be for november with edinburgh, 9 degrees by friday. nice to have you in the studio.

perseverance, never giving up. that's been at the heart of one of britain's oldest amateur film—making clubs. and as a result, one of its movies has finally made it to the big screen. it's a documentary about the ups and downs of running the club — the bradford movie makers — and it's already proving a hit with critics. media and arts correspondent, david sillito has been to see it. we are a group of keen amateurfilm—makers. the bradford movie makers. they have been making films since 1932 with lots of enthusiasm but not a lot of success. however, things have changed. after 90 years of ups and downs of the bradford movie makers, there have been some difficult moments, but this is a very special day. because we are all gathered together because there

is going to be a proper premiere, a red—carpet experience happening. well, in an hour or two's time, isn't it? good feeling, guys? all: yes. i would like to remake oklahomal where i am riding a white stallion. the film, a bunch of amateurs, is a documentary about the club. it tells the story of people like harry. # oh what a beautiful morning. here doing his version of oklahoma. the documentary has been getting rave reviews. harry has been all over. you have been to bafta? i've been to bafta, i've been- to london twice in this last week. are you getting used to this show business lifestyle? # oh what a beautiful morning #. i i am 86, but, the thing is, it has. taken me to get to 86 to get fame, get on the big screen, as it were, you know. | colin has been a member

for more than 50 years. this is his first premiere. this is more my line, you know. cine, you know. oh, it's dropped out again. congratulations on this special day for you. 90 years at the club, 50 years you have been a member. and now your red—carpet premiere. this is a special day for you. oh yeah. i'm looking forward to it, yeah. and this burst of fame follows some difficult times. but they have stuck together. and the response... oh, i've got a bit in my cup. ..at the first screenings? clapping, cheering, stomping. the first time we were going, oh, audience, you know. people were making noises? absolutely. they got a standing ovation. they were cheering. stamping their feet, clapping. but this is about more than just a hobby.

a lot of the members are carers. the idea of the film began whenjoe, a disability support volunteer, posted a message online. about loneliness and isolation. you talk about very personal things. there is depression and... yeah, i have that. i have had that for many years. for my sins, yeah. it's loneliness. i can have a short story of my life on film, if i wanted. it may be disguised as in comedy, but there is a lot of humour where it is sadness behind it, you know what i mean? it is like the two faces of the mask. any story, it's got you in it, and that's the really important thing. and phil — here playing death — outside the club... i don't like the laugh.

his life is looking after his disabled brother. it is more than just a club, really, isn't it? it is a family. this is my family that i'm not related to. i think what happens in this film, we are all going to get old, we are all going to be looking for something to do with our minds, we are all going to be looking for a community. we may lose our loved ones. i think this club is like an amazing alternative family. and for this little family of enthusiasts, it doesn't get better than this. harry has even made the front cover of film & videomaker. and then, there was the main event. the hometown gala premiere. after 90 years, a moment to savour for the bradford movie makers. applause. david sillito, bbc news, bradford.

not so much about the film. a bunch of amateurs is released today in cinemas. time now to get the news where you are. up good morning from bbc london, i'm thomas magill. young people are being encouraged to get their meningitis vaccine after new research found uptake has been worryingly low in london. experts say nearly one in five 18—year—olds missed their routine vaccine in secondary school, leaving them unprotected. in some areas such as islington and hackney, this number was higher with 35% of 18—year—olds unprotected. as people prepare to rememberfallen soldiers for armistice day one of the few remaining british indian soldiers who fought in world war ii

the london underground to a halt. transport for london advise commuters to plan ahead and check before they travel. let's see how the tube's looking at the moment. lots of issues as you might expect, all lines are suspened except for the northern line that has a reduced service between edgware and golders green and high barnet to finchley central. and the dlr and elizabeth line and overground are running as normal. the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. it was exceptionally mild across the capital last night. we are starting off today, armistice day, with temperatures in the low teens in celsius. lots of low cloud initially, we have still got the strength of that brisk south—westerly wind blowing as well. but through the afternoon in particular, there will be a lot more sunshine than we saw yesterday. that's because the wind will ease down, it's coming more from the south and eventually the south—east. sojust a drierfeed of air, really. it will stay dry throughout the day, we will see temperatures peaking

around 16 or 17 celsius. that's around five or six celsius above the seasonal average. now, overnight tonight, the winds are lighter and there will be a lot of clear skies around as well. we will see some mist and fog develop into tomorrow morning, and that could be quite stubborn to lift and clear. but it's a cooler start to the day on saturday, the mist and fog will lift and there will be a lot of sunshine around. set to stay dry over the weekend, still warm on saturday but cooler and cloudier probably for remembrance sunday. that's it from me, much more on our website, social media and riz is just starting her breakfast show on bbc radio london where there will be updates on how the tube is running this morning.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. confirmation that the uk economy shrank in the third quarter of the year, amid widespread predictions of a long recession. gdp has fallen by 0.2%. i will be explaining what that means for you. the nhs in england spent £3 billion on agency staff last year, as around one in ten roles remain vacant. at the cenotaph here at whitehall, and that will be the focus of a weekend of remembrance commemorations starting with a two—minute silence at 11am today to mark armistice day. great britain cause a huge upset in the tennis as they stun spain

in glasgow to reach the semi—finals of the world team event for the first time in a1 years. and whilst the rain continues to fall in north—west scotland, the story for most of us is just how mild it is out there and will be this weekend with an increasing amount of sunshine. all of the details coming up here on breakfast. it's friday, the 11th of november. our main story. in the last few minutes, official figures from the office for national statistics revealed the uk economy shrank by 0.2% in the third quarter of the year betweenjuly and september. let's get more details now from hannah, who is at a brewery in bristol. she is looking at the implications of this. good morning, hannah. morning. we will be talking through what this means for breweries and bars like this one. but first of all, what does gdp mean? it is the value of all the goods and services that we make and sell across the

whole of the country and that figure released in the last few minutes shows that the economy is now shrinking. gross domestic product fell by 0.2% in the three months to september. we get these figures four times a year, we were expecting to see a fall today. the bank of england had previously warned that the uk could be facing its longest recession since records began, expected to last until 202a. this figure that we have just had in the last few minutes is an indication that we are potentially now really on the road to that. we are not technically in recession today because for that to happen you need to have had six months of negative growth where the economy is shrinking, today's figure only tells us there has been three months where the economy is shrinking. why is that important? really, when we are in recession, it tends to mean that companies mean make less money, pay

could fall and an implement could rise. it could be bad for your bank balance at home, —— unemployment could rise. it is also bad for the government because they bring in less through taxes and they have less through taxes and they have less money to spend on public services like health and education. that's why the previous government was chasing growth, it wanted to see these numbers going up. as we say in these numbers going up. as we say in the last few minutes we now know the figure for the last three months is a fall of 0.2%. that figure will be looked at very closely by the chancellor as he prepares for his autumn statement next week. we are expecting to hear from autumn statement next week. we are expecting to hearfrom him in the next half an hour or hour or so. thank you very much, hannah. ukraine's army says it has made major gains around the port city of kherson, following russia's announcement it was withdrawing its troops from the area. let's get the latest now from our correspondent catherine byaruhanga who joins us from the capital kyiv this morning.

catherine, good morning. take us through what we know at this stage about kherson and what is happening there. . about kherson and what is happening there. , , . ., , about kherson and what is happening there. , ,. ., , , there. yes, the focus certainly is on the southern _ there. yes, the focus certainly is on the southern region _ there. yes, the focus certainly is on the southern region of- there. yes, the focus certainly is i on the southern region of kherson. we have heard from president volodymyr zelensky last night who said that his country's troops have taken a1 settlements, they had previously been under russian control. the military chief for ukraine then said that his troops had advanced by four miles towards the city of kherson. and this is welcome news for ukraine �*s international partners who continue to back military with military assistance and finance. this week we have heard from the united kingdom and the us, saying that they will step up military assistance to ukraine. but as ukraine continues to make advancements on the battlefield, we are also hearing reports from the us that senior officials there are now speaking to officials there are now speaking to officials in kyiv, urging them to

start considering negotiations with moscow. what do people here think about that? i have been speaking to the prosecutor general for ukraine, who is investigating war crimes carried out by russia in ukraine. he said the government here is certainly not considering negotiations right now. we are now, ukrainians, paying the price by our blood, for people in europe to live maybe a little bit worse than they lived before, but they live as usual now. they don't hear missiles, they don't know what is bombing, they don't know what is killing, rape. that is the prosecutor general for ukraine. one way we have all been affected by this conflict is higher food prices. a deal that is meant to help ukraine export food products through the black sea initiative is due to end next weekend but we

understand negotiations for it to continue will take place today in geneva. . ~ continue will take place today in geneva. ., ,, , ., ., counter—terrorism officials in brussels are investigating the fatal stabbing of a police officer in brussels yesterday evening. another officer was wounded in the attack near a train station in the north of the city. his injuries are not being described as life—threatening. police say the suspect was shot and taken to hospital. us presidentjoe biden will address the cop27 climate conference in egypt later where he'll stress the importance of keeping the rise in global temperatures below 1.5 degrees celsius. scientists say going above this threshold will have very dangerous effects but new research suggests the world could surpass that level in just nine years' time. you heard from hannah a little earlier on that the economy, we have had the office of national

statistics saying that 0.2% shrink in the economy. we are expecting a current chancellor general hand. but we are looking at some comments after the mini budget from kwasi kwarteng which cause turbulence? yes, then chancellor for 38 days, has been getting his version of events out with an interview that he did with talk tv last night ahead of the current chancellorjeremy hunt's statement on the economy, the spending cuts and tax rises we are going to get on november 17. i guess he is likely to perhaps point the finger at liz truss and kwasi kwarteng's administration. in this interview, kwasi kwarteng said actually it was very much the prime minister who felt that things had to move quickly, he thought it was too quick. thought a measured pace would have been more appropriate. although he said he takes some response

penalty for the mini budget but he also puts the spotlight very much on liz truss saying she was very forceful, very dynamic, and that he warned her what might happen if she continued at that place. i think it was too quick. so you made the argument to the prime minister, go slower, at the time? i said, actually, after the budget, because we were going very fast, even after the mini budget, we were going at breakneck speed. and i said, we should slow down, slow down. and what did she say? she said, "i've only got two years," and i said, "you will have two months if you carry on like this," and that's, i'm afraid, what happened. he also said that he warned her when he was sacked that it was mad to get rid of him and maybe she would have only have three weeks, but he said then that she actually only had six days. he found that he was going to be sacked on twitter, which perhaps gives you an insight into the chaos in the last few days of the liz truss administration. this mini budget has a long tail, people with mortgages will know that only too

well. he was asked whether he wanted to apologise and he said he expressed some regret, he did not quite say sorry but he said he was sorry for those people who were remortgaging, but also pointed out that interest rates were going up around the world. he has stuck to his view that it is still better to cut taxes to boost economic growth. that is not what is going to happen next week. he said he remains 100% supportive of the new government. thank you very much for that. a two—minute silence will be held at 11am this morning to mark the end of the first world war. services will take place across the uk for armistice day including at the cenotaph in london, which is wherejohn maguire is this morning. john, very much the centre of attention today, there will be a number of events held there where you are, tell us more.— you are, tell us more. yes, in the beginning — you are, tell us more. yes, in the beginning of— you are, tell us more. yes, in the beginning of a _ you are, tell us more. yes, in the beginning of a weekend _ you are, tell us more. yes, in the beginning of a weekend of- beginning of a weekend of remembrance with armistice day falling on friday, and remembrance sunday on sunday in a couple of

risk of flooding will continue. away from that there could be sums spots of light rain and drizzle in the breeze in the west and it will be a gusty breeze but it will break up the cloud or some eastern areas. sunshine developing, rain still here in western scotland, edging into northern ireland. we will see the strongest of the winds today, gusting 50 to 60 miles an hourfor one or two. the wind is coming all the way from the mid—atlantic, so we're saying to me like this through the afternoon, peaking at around —— seen temperatures like this to the afternoon, peaking at 19 degrees. it will be not quite as warm tonight, rain edging north. the clear skies lasting in the north—east of scotland, we could see temperatures down to three degrees. so a big contrast to the moment. the patchy rain will head north and in doing so dragging more of a southerly wind for the weekend. like lighter winds, but a lot more sunshine. very

pleasant for the vast majority but it will change next week. more details later on. the nhs is spending billions of pounds each year on freelance doctors, nurses and other health staff in an attempt to plug the gap of staff vacancies across the service. that's the finding of an investigation by the bbc which shows all four uk nations have seen a significant increase in spending on agency staff over the past year. our health reporter chloe hayward has more. we have had to use more agency staff, unfortunately, and that comes with a cost. hospitals around england are struggling to fill rotas. we have seen an increase in people leaving. there's no doubt that one of the reasons is around more money. with wards already full, more doctors and nurses are needed, and expensive agency workers are often the only way to fill staffing gaps. we're all fishing in a relatively shallow pool of staff, so until we address the longer term challenges around workforce, it's always going to be

a bit hand—to—mouth. on the ward in colchester hospital... i will be responsible for staffing for the whole of the site today. ..andy is in charge of filling rotas and knows these challenges all too well. yesterday as an example, i thought my emergency department was nice and safe for the evening and a couple of hours before we had a couple of people call in sick and then immediately that changes things. overall, the nhs in england spent more than £3 billion on agency staff in the last year. that's up 20% on the year before. and agency spending is also rising in other parts of the uk. in scotland it has doubled in the past year, while in wales it has risen by over a0%. in northern ireland it is four times higher than it was three years ago. with so many hospital budgets already very stretched, difficult decisions are now being made. i think the nhs has been trying to find greater efficiencies for a long, long time. but when i talk to clinical leaders, they're really, really nervous that

they're going to have to make some really hard choices if they're going to stay in their budgets. and those hard choices will be things like reducing the number of staff they use. or reducing the number of beds that they have in hospital. and you can see those are really going to have an impact on the quality and access to patient care. improving staff retention could play a key part when it comes to reducing agency spend. so now trusts around the country are taking steps such as improving rota flexibility, offering wellbeing sessions and launching mental health days. but for now, it ultimately comes down to flexibility and money. a junior doctor can triple his hourly rate if he works for agency versus being on an nhs contract. i wouldn't consider taking the shift if it wasn't paying the market rate, which would be around £50 to £60. i'd absolutely love to go back to being a staff member. it's mainly about the pay. sometimes you'll only be able to book a shift for two, three, four days a week. and you'll be very transient

in the department. you won't know who the consultants are, the other members of staff, and it can sometimes affect the working dynamic, because you're just seen as a replaceable agency worker. the department of health says a long—term workforce plan is coming, but for now, nhs trusts around england are left with little choice but to allocate more and more of their budgets on paying growing staff bills rather than providing front line services. chloe hayward, bbc news. we'rejoined now by the president of the royal college of physicians, dr sarah clarke, who is also a consultant cardiologist. let's talk about some of the issues that have arisen from that. good morning, thank you for your time this morning. i know you are very busy people. essentially at the heart of this problem is a lack of staff, it's a straightforward equation, they are having to pay the money because the staff are not there in normal circumstances that's correct, the staff shortages have

meant that we have had to dip into these public spending pot and pay for agency and locum staff and that comes at a significant cost. unfortunately staff are looking to work more as locums and they are paid more but it gives them more flexibility and it allows them to choose when they want to work. it takes them away from some of the terms and conditions that are unpopular. terms and conditions that are unpopular-— terms and conditions that are un--oular. , ,. unpopular. this is costing huge amounts of _ unpopular. this is costing huge amounts of money. _ unpopular. this is costing huge amounts of money. people - unpopular. this is costing huge | amounts of money. people may unpopular. this is costing huge - amounts of money. people may be under the impression that there are rules allowed for how much extra was allowed within the system for agency staff, are those rules being broken? my staff, are those rules being broken? my understanding of the agency spent for the last financial year was £7.1 billion. one fix for this would be to employ more doctors. that is why we are waiting for a workforce plan to come out. if we doubled the number of medical students from 7500

to 15,000, that would only cost 1.8 billion per year as opposed to the 7.1 billion being spent on agency gusts. there are solutions that bolster the workforce and deal with the financial impact. that bolster the workforce and deal with the financial impact.— the financial impact. that is the medium or— the financial impact. that is the medium or long _ the financial impact. that is the medium or long term _ the financial impact. that is the medium or long term solution, | the financial impact. that is the l medium or long term solution, to have more staff. but in the medium term, how is it allowable that a locum doctor, wejust had a case there, can make three times the salary of a regular doctor? why is that allowed?— salary of a regular doctor? why is that allowed? unfortunately, they are employed _ that allowed? unfortunately, they are employed by _ that allowed? unfortunately, they are employed by agencies - that allowed? unfortunately, they are employed by agencies so - that allowed? unfortunately, they are employed by agencies so theyj that allowed? unfortunately, they - are employed by agencies so they set the fees and the trusts, if we have short staffing issues, we have to get more staff because we have to have people to care for our patients. in the longer term it is fixing the workforce issue. fin a fixing the workforce issue. on a day-to-day _ fixing the workforce issue. on a day-to-day basis, _ fixing the workforce issue. on a day-to-day basis, it _ fixing the workforce issue. on a day-to-day basis, it doesn't - fixing the workforce issue. on a day—to—day basis, it doesn't sound very healthy, if i can use that

services are under enormous pressure in terms of budget. given the numbers we are talking about, you came up with the figure of 7 billion, we are quoting 3 billion in england alone this is costing. if thatis england alone this is costing. if that is called out, as in, we cannot afford to pay that money, what happens? what happens next? is there a scenario where you just don't have enough staff on the wards and you cannot do the work you would want to do? t cannot do the work you would want to do? ~ ., , cannot do the work you would want to do? ~' . . , , . do? i think we will always have enou:h do? i think we will always have enough staff. _ do? i think we will always have enough staff, but _ do? i think we will always have enough staff, but of— do? i think we will always have enough staff, but of course, i do? i think we will always have i enough staff, but of course, then you start looking, if rationing services, i hate to use that word but he would have to think about what you can provide and what is essential. of course emergency services are essential but you would have to look at services you provide. the solution here is not just a short—term fix, we have to look at the long—term and we need to get the government to produce a workforce plan so we can plan ahead notjust in the short term but the longer term and other doctors, the

physician associates, the sas doctors and those that come from overseas to compliment the whole workforce, we all learn from each other. it's really important that we don'tjust other. it's really important that we don't just focus on other. it's really important that we don'tjust focus on the short term but we plan for the longer term. l but we plan for the longer term. i can see you are obviously preparing for your day, can see you are obviously preparing foryour day, i can see you are obviously preparing for your day, i knew at the beginning of your day? i was looking for you? beginning of your day? i was looking foryou? i beginning of your day? i was looking for you? i know you are under enormous pressure. t for you? i know you are under enormous pressure.— enormous pressure. i am an interventional_ enormous pressure. i am an interventional cardiologist, l enormous pressure. i am an interventional cardiologist, i enormous pressure. i am an - interventional cardiologist, i am off to put some stents in some patients today, that is my dayjob but i also spent time in london at the royal college.— the royal college. thank you for talkin: to the royal college. thank you for talking to us _ the royal college. thank you for talking to us this _ the royal college. thank you for talking to us this morning. - the royal college. thank you for talking to us this morning. 25 i talking to us this morning. 25; minutes past talking to us this morning. 25 minutes past seven. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm thomas magill. young people are being encouraged to get their meningitis vaccine after new research found uptake has been worryingly low in london.

experts say nearly one in five 18—year—olds missed their routine vaccine in secondary school, leaving them unprotected. in some areas, such as islington and hackney, this number was higher with 35% of 18—year—olds unprotected. as people prepare to rememberfallen soldiers for armistice day one of the few remaining british indian soldiers who fought in world war ii has been speaking of his pride. 97—year—old sergeant mohammad hussain from windsor was one of hundreds of thousands of indians who fought. he's been speaking to bbc london's asad ahmad about how he was prepared to pay the ultimate price. i fight for the british. be loyal to the british crown. was it difficult for you? son, it doesn't matter about the difficulty. because we were ready to die for the british.

big ben will ring 11 times at 11am this morning to mark the start of a two minute silence for arm—istice day. transport for london is warning commuters it could be until mid—morning if before the tube's back to a full service following yesterday's strike. only a handful of trains ran across the network as ten thousand rmt members walked out — their sixth time this year — over what the union says are threats to jobs, conditions and pensions let's see how the tube's looking at the moment. lots of issues. all lines are suspended except for the northern line — that has a reduced service between edgware and golders green and high barnet and finchley central. and the dlr, elizabeth line and overground are running as normal. the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. it was exceptionally mild

across the capital last night. we are starting off today, armistice day, with temperatures in the low teens in celsius. lots of low cloud initially, we have still got the strength of that brisk south—westerly wind blowing as well. but through the afternoon in particular, there will be a lot more sunshine than we saw yesterday. that's because the wind will ease down, it's coming more from the south and eventually the south—east. sojust a drierfeed of air, really. it will stay dry throughout the day, we will see temperatures peaking around 16 or 17 celsius. that's around five or six celsius above the seasonal average. now, overnight tonight, the winds are lighter and there will be a lot of clear skies around as well. we will see some mist and fog develop into tomorrow morning, and that could be quite stubborn to lift and clear. but it's a cooler start to the day on saturday, the mist and fog will lift and there will be a lot of sunshine around. set to stay dry over the weekend, still warm on saturday but cooler and cloudier probably for remembrance sunday. that's it from me, much more on our website,

social media. and i'll be back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. we have just heard the latest figures on the economy and this is how it looks. figures on the economy and this is how it looks-— how it looks. shrinking by 0.2% in the third quarter _ how it looks. shrinking by 0.2% in the third quarter of _ how it looks. shrinking by 0.2% in the third quarter of the _ how it looks. shrinking by 0.2% in the third quarter of the year. - the third quarter of the year. hannah is in a brewery in bristol to look at the effect of this number and how things are made, sold, how we buy them. the impact businesses like this can have on an area and the business and jobs they bring a mat is at risk when we see the economy shrinking. it is down by

0.2% in the three months to september. before that, the previous three months, the economy showed a small sign of growth. that is why technically we will not go into recession today, because to go into recession today, because to go into recession means you have to have six months of negative growth. today is seen as the first step on what the bank of england has predicted could be the longest recession since records began, expected to last potentially until 202a. hospitality, services are actually flat in terms of the figures. they have neither grown nor shrunk. manufacturing is down. construction, a bright spot, perhaps, that was slightly up. i am joined by karl thompson who is an economist. good morning. explain to people why they should care about growth falling. loath? people why they should care about growth falling-— growth falling. why is it bad? it lives us growth falling. why is it bad? it

what we now need to do is celebrate. mike is the person to do that with. a night for the underdogs. an two tennis players people might not have heard much about but they are part of a team that made history last night getting great britain to the semifinal of what used to be the fed cup. now the billyjean king up. the first time they have been this far in a1 years. after great britain slumped to defeat to kazakstan on tuesday, it seemed their chance of progressing had gone. their only hope was winning all three of their matches against spain. a miracle was needed. but that's exactly what they did. after wins in the singles for heather watson and harriet dart, the doubles pair of alicia barnett and olivia nicholls finished the job in straight sets to secure a tie against australia in the last four, and earn the players a place in the history books of this competition. it was 1981 the last time a british team got this far in the world team event.

i am just so proud of this team. every single player on this team has done themselves proud. the team spirit has been high. also, i just can't thank everyone who has come to support the british team here. yeah, thank you so much. we want to put women's tennis in this country on the map and the support you give us and the team, you help us create amazing memories, so thank you. if you want to know what it means to be picked for the world cup. james madison says it's a dream come true to be picked for gareth southgate's, england squad for the upcoming world cup. he's only played 3a minutes for his country so far. but he has been in great form for leicester in the premier league. and he posted this on social media last night, a picture of him as a young lad, saying "it hasn't sunk in, i'm going to the world cup. dreams really do come true". another player who's celebrating a recall to the england squad is marcus rashford and he scored in manchester united's a—2

win over aston villa in the league cup last night. rashford was man of the match too, and scored united's second equaliser, before goals from bruno fernandes and scott mctominay wrapped up the win. united will host burnley in the fourth round. england's women will face new zealand in the semi—final of the rugby league world cup. the kiwis lost 10—8 to australia in york to leave them second in pool b. the victory means australia will play papua new guinea in a double—header on monday. wales will face england in the semi—final of the wheelchair tournament on sunday. they beat scotland 70 points to 36, to finish runners—up in group b. scotland finished bottom of the group, after three defeats. it really is unprecedented. we have a week of finals, next friday and saturday, the rugby league world cup finals. tomorrow in rugby union the red roses of england against new zealand and on sunday, weather permitting, and matt said it would rain in melbourne, england against pakistan in the t20 cricket. a lot

to cram in before the football world cup. a meeting that was due to take place between the mother of murdered student libby squire and the man convicted of her killing has been cancelled. pawel relowicz had agreed to a visit with lisa squire as part of a restorativejustice programme, but he's now changed his mind. abi smitton reports. libby squire, a daughter, sister and friend who loved life. she was studying at university in hull when she disappeared on a night out injanuary 2019. she was raped and murdered by a serial sex offender, and her body was found in the humber estuary seven weeks later. last year, her killer, pawel relowicz, was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 27 years. as a family, today's verdict changes nothing for us. there is no closure, we don't get to have libby back and our lives don't revert back to normal.

libby will always be with us, and we are all so proud of our beautiful, caring, wonderful girl. and although she has been physically taken from us, the memories we have and the love we share will never be taken. since that day, lisa has spoken of her desire to meet libby's killer. last month, he agreed as part of a restorativejustice programme. just a few weeks on, and he's changed his mind, denying lisa answers to questions about her daughter that she's waited years to ask. abi smitton, bbc news. libby's mother lisa joins us now. good morning, how are you? good morning, i am fine, thank you. itrui’heh morning, i am fine, thank you. when and how did — morning, i am fine, thank you. when and how did you _ morning, i am fine, thank you. when and how did you hear— morning, i am fine, thank you. when and how did you hear the _ morning, i am fine, thank you. when and how did you hear the news - morning, i am fine, thank you. when and how did you hear the news that the killer of libby will not meet you now? the killer of libby will not meet ou now? . . the killer of libby will not meet ou now? . , , the killer of libby will not meet ou now? , , ., ., you now? last thursday, 'ust over a week ago. — you now? last thursday, 'ust over a week ago. my * you now? last thursday, just over a week ago. my restorative _ you now? last thursday, just over a week ago. my restorative justice - week ago. my restorative justice caseworker came for a visit in the morning and said he had withdrawn

morning so far. temperatures in north—east scotland and parts of northern ireland around 16—17. hard to believe it is a november morning. it will change next week because of the remnants of this hurricane which is across florida which will stir things up next week. before that, this cloud is pushing to the north—west of the uk. outbreaks of rain affecting the north highlands. on the eastern side, that mild air pushing up. as they combine, where we have rain, and a lot of it, 150 millimetres since wednesday in the highlands. continuing to rain here throughout the day but turning dry in the western isles later. away from that, some drizzle in the breeze. further east, the cloud breaks up and more sunshine develops in the afternoon as the breeze stirs things up. the rain edging into northern ireland in western scotland

later. could gust up to 60 miles an hour which could have a travel impact and potential for flooding. but look at the afternoon temperatures. we should be 10—12. we could see 19 on the coast of the murray firth later. here some changes. rain turning lighter across scotland and northern ireland and edging into the north of england and then pushing northwards later. clear skies in the northern half of scotland. we could see temperatures down to 3—a there. elsewhere, a mild start. some fog patches could be around. the wind lighter tomorrow. drizzle to start the weekend in western scotland which will move north back towards the hebrides and perhaps orkney and shetland. it means for the rest of us, increasing amounts of sunshine on saturday. potentially up to 18 in the south—east corner. do it all again

saturday night into sunday with drizzle in northern scotland clearing northwards. through sunday, dry with lots of sunshine for the majority. some rain in the west later. temperatures up to 17. the hurricane nicole will stir things up. it will not give a huge impact but these weather fronts will burst through the mild weather we have and bring something different next week. rain on and off. not quite the sunshine from the weekend but rain at times. and it will feel like november again. you are so good. for anyone who did not quite catch it. through the barricades, gold, a bit of truth. how do you follow that? we can't. we can follow it with martin kemp. who i can see walking into the

here at the cenotaph today and right across the uk during the two—minute silence at 11am to mark armistice day. they're calling it the miracle of glasgow. against all odds, great britain sweep aside spain to reach the semifinals of the world team event for the first time in 41 years. and whilst the rain continues to fall in north—west scotland, the story for most of us is just how mild it is out there and will be this weekend with an increasing amount of sunshine. all of the details coming up here on breakfast. it's friday, the 11th of november. our main story. in the last hour, official figures revealed the economy shrank by 0.2% betweenjuly and september meaning the uk is one step closer to a recession. the uk is one step reacting to the news, the chancellorjeremy hunt said he was "under no illusion that there is a tough road ahead".

the bank of england says that we are likely to be in recession. it is disappointing but not entirely unexpected news. and what we need to do now is to present a plan to the country to tackle the root cause of theissues country to tackle the root cause of the issues we face, which is inflation. and a plan that protects the most vulnerable, and that's what i must do next thursday. fine the most vulnerable, and that's what i must do next thursday.— i must do next thursday. are you alarmed by _ i must do next thursday. are you alarmed by the — i must do next thursday. are you alarmed by the fact _ i must do next thursday. are you alarmed by the fact that - i must do next thursday. are you alarmed by the fact that the - i must do next thursday. are you alarmed by the fact that the uk l i must do next thursday. are you | alarmed by the fact that the uk in the g7 the only economy that is shrinking at the moment? according to the international _ shrinking at the moment? according to the international monetary - shrinking at the moment? according to the international monetary fund, | to the international monetary fund, around a third of the world's economy is in recession this year all will be in recession next year. and that is principally but not entirely because of very high global energy prices. we are not immune to that in the uk, and what we need is a plan that shows how we are going to get through this difficult period. if it is a recession, how we make it a shallower and quicker one

so we can protect businesses that are really struggling as these figures show. also give families some hope that we will get through to the other side with the most vulnerable people protected. that speak to hannah who is in a brewery in bristol. we know that the economy is shrinking, we heard from the chancellor that saying amongst other things that there is a very substantial gap in our national finances, and anyone watching us this morning is going to want to know, what does that mean for our household, what does it mean for the economy more widely, the things we do and the things we spend money on? good morning, yes. you can probably hear around me that production has got started here at this brewery this morning. there is malted barley and water being mixed inside here. across the whole economy, as you say, production is going down. gdp is falling, 0.2% in the three months to september. the three months

before that did show growth which is why technically we are not in recession as of today but we could be a by christmas. in order to have a recession, you have to have six months of the economy shrinking. if we look a little bit closer at today's figures, hospitality and services are largely flat, but manufacturing has been down more than average, construction is very slightly up. in september in particular, there was a particularly big shrink in the economy of 0.6%. that was largely down to the bank holiday for the queen's funeral. why does all of this matter is the big question of what many people. when the economy goes into recession, when the economy is shrinking, it tends to mean that there are fewer jobs to go around, unemployment rise, it means that companies are making less money, they are less able to invest and provide jobs like

this brewery has for this particular area of bristol. it can be bad for your bank balance could it also poses a particular challenge for the chancellor who we had from there, because it means that if we are all earning less and doing less in the economy, it means that taxes the amount of money he brings in goes down and that begets less money to spend on things like health and education. that's why today's figure which shows the overall health of the economy really shows the challenge that the chancellor faces as he prepares his autumn statement next week. ., ~' , ., as he prepares his autumn statement next week. ., ~ , ., . . we're joined by our political correspondent, iain watson. all of this is in light of the, fair to say, disastrous mini budget when so many reversals had been made by the chancellor we had from earlier, jeremy hunt. that mini budget is still making ripples?— still making ripples? absolutely, na . a, still making ripples? absolutely, naga. good _ still making ripples? absolutely, naga, good morning. _ still making ripples? absolutely, naga, good morning. kwasi - still making ripples? absolutely, - naga, good morning. kwasi kwarteng,

the then chancellor, 48 days, has been speaking to talk tv. this mini budget has a long tail and people with mortgages will know that. in this interview he didn't actually apologise for the mini budget but he said he was sorry for those who are currently remortgaging. whose fault was all of this? he said he took some responsibility as chancellor but i think the person next door at number 10 downing st was the person he had in mind, because he said that liz truss, the then prime minister, wanted to go quickly. while he favoured a more measured approach, as he put it. he also said that she was very dynamic, very forceful, suggesting perhaps he was pushed into some of these measures quicker than he would have liked. he didn't however apologise for the fact that interest rates had gone up. he said, there is a global recession. it was not so much the strategy that he said was wrong, it was the pace. he said was wrong, it was the pace. he said he did warn liz truss of the consequences of going too fast.

i said, actually, after the budget, because we were going very fast, ice even after the mini budget, - we were going at breakneck speed. and i said, we should slow down, slow down. and what did she say? she said, "i've only got two years," and i said, "you will have two months if you carry on like this," and that's, i'm afraid, what happened. interestingly, he also said that it was mad of liz truss to sack him. but i do wonder if his success, jeremy hunt, shares that view. he was asked about these comments this morning and he said, all i would say that if you come forward with a plan that if you come forward with a plan that does not show how you are getting decked down in the medium term, the markets react badly. —— getting jets down. the country had to show that it could pay its way. i don't think there was a great meeting of minds through there, and we will get another budget from jeremy hunt —— and autumn statement

from jeremy hunt. he said there will be some eye watering decisions to make on tax and spending so there is something to look forward to! indeed, thank you very much. there's a been a significant rise in the amount of money the nhs is spending on freelance doctors, nurses and other health staff in an effort to cope with short—staffing. bbc research shows more than £3 billion was paid to agency staff in england alone last year, with increases also seen across the other home nations. the department of health in england says it's working to help recruit and support nhs staff. russian officials say their troops have begun to exit the southern ukrainian city of kherson, in a process that's expected to take weeks. our russia editor steve rosenberg is in moscow for us this morning. good morning, steve. talked us through what has happened in kherson, what we know about the situation there now and what is the reaction? ~ , , . situation there now and what is the

reaction? ~ ,, . , situation there now and what is the reaction? ~ ,, . ., reaction? well, russia says that it started to withdraw _ reaction? well, russia says that it started to withdraw its _ reaction? well, russia says that it started to withdraw its troops - reaction? well, russia says that it| started to withdraw its troops from kherson. it is not known really how long this will take, some people suggest a matter of days, some people weeks. as far as the reaction here, we were on the streets yesterday asking people, and there was a mixed reaction. one man said to me he was confused, because just a few weeks ago russia claimed that occupied kherson would be russian forever, and now russia is retreating from there. one woman said to me, that's good, all russian troops should pull out of ukraine immediately. someone else said that, if the russian commanders had taken that decision to withdraw, then that is the right decision. interestingly, pro—war russian military bloggers have been writing angry posts accusing officials of betrayal and treachery over the retreat from kherson. the message being put out by the state media here is, yes, this was a difficult decision to take, but strategically necessary one, and the media, the

state media has been calling on russians to support the army, to support the president, president putin, and encouraging people to look for scapegoats abroad. putin, and encouraging people to look for scapegoa nato, ad. izm sf— putin, and encouraging people to look forscapegoa nato, blaming sf— putin, and encouraging people to look for s the goa nato, blaming “ism ,, w putin, and encouraging people to look for s the war nato, blaming “ism ,, w putin, and encouraging people to look for s the war n ukraine. ing ifirm” if if west, for the war in ukraine. so, what do you _ west, for the war in ukraine. 50, what do you think the long—term consequences for vladimir putin are? that is a key question. made 77” 7” "7" w russian ukraine, there was the commander in ukraine, there was the minister, who is the russian deferics ministsfiiwho is the who actually russian defence ministeiifwhe is the who actually gave the order to one who actually gave the order to retreat. where was where wseen. . . .a, the that been to distance putin from what many vladimir putin from what many people here setback for

military operation. he let military operation. he let his ilitary operation. he let his ilitary operation the bad of let his generals deliver the bad news. here's the thing putin, and this issue is vladimir putin, and this issue is much broader thanjust vladimir putin, and this issue is much broader than just kherson. vladimir putin, and this issue is much broader thanjust kherson. for years, he had the reputation amongst the russian elite here is a winner, is a great strategist, as someone who always managed to come out on top. but since february 24, his decision to invade ukraine, that image has gone. when you look at what has happened, not only has this innovation because death and destruction in of i“! to in of the eitieens te fight in li'sfaine. the russia are eitieehs te fight in li'sfaihe. the russia are great. economic costs for russia are great. and russia has been losing some of the territory it occupied in recent weeks. if you look at what is happening in kherson. the. ithink the danger is for vladimir putin is

that people will perceive him differently, not so much public opinion but people in the russian elite, people around him, people in power will start to see him in a different way. i’m power will start to see him in a different way.— power will start to see him in a different way. i'm detecting, and ou can different way. i'm detecting, and you can tell— different way. i'm detecting, and you can tell me _ different way. i'm detecting, and you can tell me more, _ different way. i'm detecting, and you can tell me more, a - different way. i'm detecting, and you can tell me more, a lot- different way. i'm detecting, and you can tell me more, a lot of. you can tell me more, a lot of caution about what people are reading into what's happening in kherson, the withdrawal there. what is your take on what this moment in time us about war is your take on what this moment in time - -it i war - is your take on what this moment in time ~ war is your take on what this moment in time ~ ., ,. ., ., here that what russia has of thought here that what russia has decided to do by pulling out of kherson suggests that russia is being more realistic about the situation there. when vladimir putin came out a few weeks ago and signed all these documents and claimed that kherson region and three other ukrainian territories were now suddenly part of russia, that raised a few eyebrows. there are some people here that believe that russia is now looking more realistically at

the military situation on the ground. this is not representing an end to the war, and, when you watch state television here and listen to commentators, they are talking about a long winter, they talk about the russian military digging in different positions. but i think, still, the fact that russia is retreating from kherson, that is a blow, i think of the procedure russian authorities. after all, the city of kherson was the only ukrainian provincial capital that the russians had managed to occupy, had managed to occupy, since they invaded back in february.— had managed to occupy, since they invaded back in february. thank you very much. — invaded back in february. thank you very much, russian _ invaded back in february. thank you very much, russian editor, - invaded back in february. thank you very much, russian editor, steve i very much, russian editor, steve rosenberg reporting from moscow. just stop oil activists say they have ended what they have demonstrators from the group have blocked parts of the busy motorway in the south east of england for four days, leading to multiple arrests. they have called on the prime minister, rishi sunak, to act on his own promises made

things and if you are in the north—west of scotland there is also a fair bit of rain, it is throwing it down quite markedly across the highlands as it has been for the past couple of days. more rain to come through today. there is the odd splash of rain and a breeze elsewhere across scotland and into western parts of england and wales and it will turn wetter to the west of northern ireland later. the vast majority will get through friday dry, in hartlepool there are a few cloud breaks around and a few more will appear through the day, sunny spells through many parts of england, wales and eastern scotland. but it is going to be windy especially in the west, part of western scotland and northern ireland could see winds gusting 40, 50, 60 miles ireland could see winds gusting 40, 50,60 miles an hour. ireland could see winds gusting 40, 50, 60 miles an hour. even with the wind we could see temperatures peaking at 19 celsius on the north—east coast of scotland. we finish the afternoon with rain in northern ireland, outbreaks of rain turning light patchy as it goes across scotland. it edges into cumbria and northumberland, and then pushes northwards again. on the

northern edge, 17 at the moment, it could be three or four tomorrow morning. most has a mild start but not quite as bad as this morning. takes us into the weekend, the winds are lighter, more sunshine around, more of you will be dry and the mild weather continues. i4 more of you will be dry and the mild weather continues. 14 to 17 or 18 degrees with highs well above where we should be for this stage in november. it does turn cooler as you go into next week. as it should become a middle of november. we're on bbc one until quarter—past nine this morning then it's time for morning live with gethin and michelle. there they are, right now. good morning. there they are, right now. good morninr. a, coming up on morning live. as households struggle to afford to pay their rising bills, energy companies are remotely switching smart meters to more expensive prepayment ones, sometimes without warning. it's hard to believe, i but our consumer champ matt allwright is here to give

you the facts _ this shouldn't be happening. people have been left without heating and power for days or even weeks, not realising they need to be topping up their meter. they've been disconnected by the back door, but you've got ofgem on your side. i'll tell you what you can do. also on the show, it's flooring people across the uk, i including our own dr punam. she's here to explain that flu season has come early, i why it's hitting harder right now and how a new test could tell i you if it's flu or covid in minutes. this was the most miserable experience and i would not wish it on anyone! — experience and i would not wish it on anyone! i will be explaining that flu season— on anyone! i will be explaining that flu season has come early, it is hitting — flu season has come early, it is hitting harder and how a new test could _ hitting harder and how a new test could tell— hitting harder and how a new test could tell you if it is glue or covid — could tell you if it is glue or covid in _ could tell you if it is glue or covid in minutes. plus, it's the most talked about gadget in the kitchen but how do they actually work? presenter and scientist greg foot tells us if air fryers are worth the hype orjust a load of hot air. also, we're talking to one i of the stars of the bbc's epic new drama, the english, i set in america's wild west, but filmed in spain.

started last night, it is absolutely brilliant. and the nation will fall silent at 11 o'clock to mark armistice day. we've got an inspiring song of hope to end the show. soprano laura wright will be performing live from our balcony across the rooftops of manchester. maybe you will be able to hear her! see you at 9:15. we will listen out! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm thomas magill. young people are being encouraged to get their meningitis vaccine after new research found uptake has been worryingly low in london. experts say nearly one in five 18—year—olds missed their routine vaccine in secondary school, leaving them unprotected. in some areas such as islington and hackney, this number was higher with 35% of 18—year—olds unprotected. as people prepare to

remember fallen soldiers remember fallen soldiers for armistice day later, one of the few remaining british indian soldiers who fought in world war ii has been speaking of his pride. 97—year—old sergeant mohammad hussain from windsor was one of hundreds of thousands of indians who fought. he's been speaking to bbc london's asad ahmad about how he was prepared to pay the ultimate price. i fight for the british. be loyal to the british crown. was it difficult for you? son, it doesn't matter about the difficulty. because we were ready to die for the british. big ben will ring 11 times at 11am this morning to mark the start of a two—minute silence for armistice day. transport for london is warning commuters it could be mid—morning before the tube's back to a full service following yesterday's strike.

only a handful of trains ran across the network as ten thousand rmt members walked out, their sixth time this year, over what the union says are threats to jobs, conditions and pensions. let's see how the tube's looking at the moment. lots of issues. the bakerloo is still part suspended and there are severe delays on the circle, district, hammersmith and city, jubilee, metropolitan and piccidilly lines at the moment. but a good service on all other lines — so it seems to be slowly getting back up and running. the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. it was exceptionally mild across the capital last night. we are starting off today, armistice day, with temperatures in the low teens in celsius. lots of low cloud initially, we have still got the strength of that brisk south—westerly wind blowing as well. but through the afternoon in particular, there will be a lot more sunshine than we saw yesterday.

that's because the wind will ease down, it's coming more from the south and eventually the south—east. sojust a drierfeed of air, really. it will stay dry throughout the day, we will see temperatures peaking around 16 or 17 celsius. that's around five or six celsius above the seasonal average. now, overnight tonight, the winds are lighter and there will be a lot of clear skies around as well. we will see some mist and fog develop into tomorrow morning, and that could be quite stubborn to lift and clear. but it's a cooler start to the day on saturday, the mist and fog will lift and there will be a lot of sunshine around. set to stay dry over the weekend, still warm on saturday but cooler and cloudier probably for remembrance sunday. that's it from me. more on our website, and i'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. let's get more on that

breaking news this morning that the uk is one step closer to recession after official figures showed the economy shrank by 0.2% percent in the third quarter of the year. it is about how it will impact us on businesses and their spending on our spending and hannah is in a brewery in bristol to put it into context. good morning. good morning. we have beenin good morning. good morning. we have been in the brewery all morning. it would be remiss not to show you around and what is going on now that production is started.— production is started. christian will talk us _ production is started. christian will talk us through _ production is started. christian will talk us through it. i production is started. christian will talk us through it. we i production is started. christian | will talk us through it. we have four ingredients, malt, water, yeast, hops and here we are mashing in for today's bru, independence. the first two ingredients, water and malted barley. we are mashing in and we have a 67 degrees mash. and we

falls, it could mean unemployment goes up and as well as being bad for your bank balance, it can be bad for the government because it means they take less in taxes to pay for public services such as education and health. that is why the previous government wanted to chase growth. the questions for the chancellor as he prepares his autumn statement. i am going to talk to sam. about what this means for your business. what are you seeing at the moment? the bi est are you seeing at the moment? tfue biggest concern i have is the sector of hospitality is under pressure. as a business, as all businesses, our costs are soaring. how much of that do we pass on? we need to protect customers. we cannot price out end consumers. we need people in pubs eating and drinking and enjoying the hospitality sector so it is a

balancing act. i need to protect margin and grow the business and invest in the business and protect my team. it is a total balancing act of controlling costs. do my team. it is a total balancing act of controlling costs.— of controlling costs. do you worry about people _ of controlling costs. do you worry about people not _ of controlling costs. do you worry about people not being i of controlling costs. do you worry about people not being able i of controlling costs. do you worry about people not being able to i about people not being able to afford to go out to pubs? tiff about people not being able to afford to go out to pubs? of course. it is our livelihood. _ afford to go out to pubs? of course. it is our livelihood. we _ afford to go out to pubs? of course. it is our livelihood. we have i afford to go out to pubs? of course. it is our livelihood. we have a i it is our livelihood. we have a company and we employ people and if people do not spend the business goes under. people do not spend the business goes under-— people do not spend the business aoes under. , , . ,, ., goes under. does this make it more difficult for you? _ goes under. does this make it more difficult for you? it _ goes under. does this make it more difficult for you? it brings i goes under. does this make it more difficult for you? it brings factors i difficult for you? it brings factors into -la . difficult for you? it brings factors into play- i— difficult for you? it brings factors into play. i have _ difficult for you? it brings factors into play. i have concerns. i difficult for you? it brings factors into play. i have concerns. we i difficult for you? it brings factorsl into play. i have concerns. we are looking to expand. not being able to do that with the economic crashes would be devastating for the team and the opportunity to grow the business. hate and the opportunity to grow the business. ~ ., and the opportunity to grow the business. ~ . ., and the opportunity to grow the business. ~ . . ., business. we have heard that in these figures — business. we have heard that in these figures there _ business. we have heard that in these figures there is i business. we have heard that in these figures there is an i business. we have heard that in these figures there is an impact | these figures there is an impact from the queen's funeral for september. we have the world cup and then christmas. how important are events like that for your business? it could not come at a better time.

a bit of national pride and positive energy with a good performance in the world cup and christmas spending, it will help hospitality. thank you. the chancellor has said that he is under no illusion there is a tough road ahead. he said there are difficult decisions. we heard about him saying that before. we will hear more about the difficult decisions he has to take next week in the autumn statement. there's 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. it's been 40 years since the falklands war. now, a group of uk veterans has returned to the islands for the first time to mark remembrance sunday.

255 british military personnel lost their lives in the conflict, which lasted 74 days. defence correspondent jonathan beale has travelled back to the falklands with some of those who survived. san carlos bay today, a picture of peace and tranquility. but 40 years ago, this was known as bomb alley, with argentine jets attacking a british task force sent to liberate these islands on the other side of the world. you see that really grainy footage now, but it takes you right back. planes screaming through here and everybodyjust shooting at it. it was wild. gary marshall and mark white were here in may 1982 in the first wave of the assault. this is the first time they've returned, and it's bringing

back painful memories. they came over the hill, two pucaras, and dropped the bombs onto the actual refrigeration plant. we lost quite a few guys in that and one of them was aaron's uncle paul. he was wounded during the attack and he subsequently died of his wounds on the 10th ofjune, you know, four days before the end of the actual conflict itself. so, sad. sad time. some of their comrades who never came back, never lived to tell the tale, now lie in this small cemetery. it's for the survivors to honour and remember. but for gary platt, this return has not been easy.

he's been putting it off for 40 years. i don't really think we closed, i didn't close that book. i kind ofjust left the ending unread, which is something that most people like to put closure on. certainly when you lose people, there needs to be an end point or a point where you get comfortable, even if it doesn't finish. is this the end point for you, the closure? it needs to be a place i'm comfortable with and i haven't been so far. so i need to be comfortable that my survivor guilt and that my anguish at what i went through and certainly the pain that i see others still to this day going through, i need to get to a place where i can accept that. are you at peace here? not yet. but you're glad you came? you are. gary lost three good friends in this short ten week war. mates who he never had a chance

to say a proper goodbye. this is where he came and this is where he ended. and so he's still here, i think. yeah. jackie giffin has come to remember her brother. brett patrick giffin was one of the first casualties of the war, killed when his helicopter was shot down. he was buried at sea. there is no grave forjackie to visit. for her, there'll always be a void. but this trip has provided comfort. coming here and meeting people, ex—soldiers that were there, has meant an awful lot because it was real. and they say, "oh, i know him and i knew him," and "oh, i remember the gazelles went down," and, yeah. so that's very sort of reassuring. very comforting in a strange way.

it may now be 40 years ago, but in the falklands they'll never be forgotten. here in the capital, stanley, there's a silhouette for each of the 255 british servicemen who lost their lives. they died 8,000 miles from home. but here, they'll always be remembered. the distance of time may have made these islands even more remote to many. but the british forces who fought here are still living with this conflict. a war which, though painful, they still believe was just. jonathan beale, bbc news, the falkland islands. we're joined now by former lieutenant chris caroe who's served in the falklands war as a royal marine. i wonder. you wear your medals

mountain way, when he takes people to the mountain is talks them through theirfears, notjust to the mountain is talks them through their fears, notjust from the falklands but iraq, bosnia, afghanistan. so when they come off the mountain after a week, he gets them to write on the stone what it is they cannot cope with and then they throw it off the mountain. and they throw it off the mountain. and they come down slightly refreshed. andy has had funding. the royal british legion are helping with that. it is ensuring those who suffered get the opportunity to be listened to. marines and para—s, you are not going to go crying on someone�*s shoulder. you bottle it up. that is the problem. you have to sit back and realise you have a problem and who you will chat to. then you go through the welfare officer, british legion, and work it from there. it has definitely changed now. it is definitely better thanit changed now. it is definitely better than it was then. when we came back,

against australia in the last four. it was 1981 the last time a british team got this far in this competition. i am just so proud of this team. every single player on this team has done themselves proud. the team spirit has been high. also, i just can't thank everyone who has come to support the british team here. when we prepared for the match we knew what we had to do. it was always a big ask. the girls delivered. through to the semifinals. we have to allow ourselves to dream a little bit, right? ourselves to dream a little bit, ritht? ~ , , the england players picked to go to the world cup have been sharing what it means on social media. and a common theme seems to be posting pictures of themselves when they were young fans. this is jack grealish who says he's just a kid from solihull who's first world cup memory is going into school early to watch england vs brazil in 2002. "to think 20 years later, i'd be playing at one, blows my mind," he says. it was a great day all around

for a player who's celebrating a recall to the england squad. marcus rashford showed he's back to his best, scoring in manchester united's li—2 win over aston villa in the league cup last night. rashford was man of the match, as well, and scored united's second equaliser, before goals from bruno fernandes and scott mctominay wrapped up the win. united will host burnley in the fourth round. england's women will face new zealand in the semifinal of the rugby league world cup. while it's wales who will face england in the semis of the wheelchair tournament on sunday. they beat scotland 70 points to 36, to finish runners—up in group b. scotland finished bottom of the group, after three defeats. if you're getting excited about cricket's t20 world cup final on sunday, when england will face pakistan, i'm afraid matt says it will be dominated by the weather, with a 100% certainty of heavy rain. that could mean they need to use the reserve day on monday in melbourne, and there's even a chance of the trophy having to be shared. in the knockout stages,

at least ten overs per side, are needed to consitute a match. england will hope they can repeat the quick work they made of india, in the semi—finals yesterday morning and that ten wicket win. in almost 24 hours' time, the england red roses will be finishing their women's rugby union world cup final. in auckland against the hosts new zealand. england have been top of the world rankings since november 2020 and have won their past 30 tests. now the england lionsesses' leah williamson tasted success in the euros this year, and has sent this message to the red roses ahead of theirfinal. hi, girls, ijust want to wish you all the best for the final on sunday. i am so proud to be english when i watch you. and, yeah, you are heroes in my eyes already, but i know you can do this. so, yeah, can't wait to be watching from home. another sleepless night, i am sure, but, yeah, can't wait to watch you lift that trophy. a motivational message. and she

meant tomorrow, saturday, not sunday but a lovely message to send to them. every little bit helps. all in it together. thanks very much. hit—maker, award—winner, game—changer. much has been said about sam smith's impact on music and culture in recent years. their latest song, called "unholy", spent four weeks at the top of the uk charts making marking their sixth number one single. let's remind ourselves of some of sam's biggest hits. # stay with me. # cos you're all i need. # cos the writings on the wall. # look what you made me do. # i'm with somebody new. # oh, baby, baby, i'm dancing with a stranger. # look what you made me do. # i'm with somebody new.
