there is so much that is familiar about remembrance sunday — the rhythm of the day unchanged for decades. but this year, as the final preparations are made, there will be one significant difference. for nearly all of her 70 years on the throne, queen elizabeth ii was at the cenotaph on remembrance sunday, honouring service and sacrifice. this year, after her death, she will be one of those we remember today. later this morning, for the first time as monarch, the king will lay a wreath here at the cenotaph. it is a new design that will incorporate his racing colors of scarlet, purple and gold — a tradition set by his mother, his grandfather and his great—grandfather. fanfare. last night, the king led the royal family, paying tribute to servicemen and women at the festival of remembrance. it began with a tribute to his mother, the queen, and her role as commander—in—chief of the armed forces and patron

of the royal british legion. a focus of remembrance this year will be those killed during the falklands war a0 years ago. their sacrifice was remembered, and today 400 members of the south atlantic medal association will march past the cenotaph. as the service ended from the ceiling of the royal albert hall, the poppies fell — a reminder of bloodshed and lives lost. as a new king, a new commander—in—chief leads the country in a weekend of remembrance. # happy and glorious. # long to reign over us. # god save the king!#

on bbc one from 10.15am. spending cuts of about £35 billion and plans to raise some £20 billion in tax in the coming years are expected to be set out in thursday's autumn statement. none ofjeremy hunt's decisions have been officially confirmed, but it is understood most of the extra revenue will come from freezing tax thresholds. 0ur political correspondent ben wright explains what the bbc has been told will be announced. well, the chancellor, jeremy hunt, has already talked about horrible, eye—wateringly difficult decisions that he's going to have to make on thursday when he delivers this statement to the commons. it's not being called a budget, but i think it will feel like a budget to everybody watching. and it's clear that tax rises, and certainly a squeeze to public spending in the short term is coming, as the government tries to fill in the black hole in the public finances and crucially convince financial markets that it's got a plan for bringing down the country's debt. so on tax, its expected that the government will freeze income tax thresholds until 2028. that means that even though people's wages might be going up, the government will still scoop up quite a lot of that money. sources are also indicating

that the top rate of tax, the 45p rate — that could kick in when people start earning £125,000 rather than £150,000, as they do at the moment. it's going to be a very difficult time for the public sector, and government departments are being told to expect no extra cash until 2025. and with inflation already eating away at the spending power of budgets, that's going to be really hard for much of the public sector. beyond that, the treasury's thinking about a meagre 1% rise to budgets. so, look, this will be politically contentious, it will be economically crucial, and i think a defining moment for rishi sunak�*s government. more than 40,000 migrants have crossed the channel from france to england in small boats this year, the bbc has calculated, the highest number since figures began to be collected in 2018. two years ago, there were just over 8,000 arrivals.

0ur reporter simonjones is in dover for us this morning. the milder weather we have all been experiencing presumably has contributed to the number of crossings late into the autumn. yes. crossings late into the autumn. yes, that has been _ crossings late into the autumn. yes, that has been a _ crossings late into the autumn. yes, that has been a major— crossings late into the autumn. ya: that has been a major factor. the that has been a majorfactor. the 40,000 figure is a difficult milestone for the government that promised to take back control of britain's borders. yesterday was really busy in the channel. the sea was very calm. lifeboats from dover and ramsgate brought back more than 100 people to shore. border. boats brought in many, many more. it is weather dependent. not surprising it was so busy yesterday. for the first 11 days of this month has been really windy and i had been no crossings at all. the minute the weather became more favourable,

boats started launching again the people in northern france wanting to get across the channel. there may have been more crossings overnight. the day the lifeboat launched on a couple of occasions in the early hours. —— the dover lifeboat. this could put more pressure on the migrant centre at manston we have been hearing so much about with concerns about overcrowding and conditions. the government had been living people out to hotels. the big hope for the government is to sign a new deal with french authorities. we are told that is imminent but it will be what they are calling an ambitious deal. the big idea is they are going to come together and increase the number of officers patrolling beaches in northern france even further. britain will have to pay tens of millions of pounds for that. they will be french officers. at the moment, france is

stopping around 40% of crossings but authorities believe that number needs to be at 70% or 80% for it to make a real difference and try to put people smugglers out of business. the deal will also likely see immigration officers from britain based in france in control rooms for the first time but we are unlikely to the border. 0ffers rooms for the first time but we are unlikely to the border. offers her boots on the ground because that is too contentious for french sovereignty. too contentious for french sovereignty-— too contentious for french sovereignty. too contentious for french sovereiun . ., , . the democrats have kept control of the us senate after winning the state of nevada. in a tight race, catherine cortez masto defeated the republican candidate, who had been endorsed by donald trump, giving her party the 50 seats it needs to have the majority vote in the chamber. president biden has said he's happy with the result. i feel good about where we are. i know i'm a cockeyed optimist, i understand that from the beginning.

but i'm not surprised. i'm incredibly pleased. and i think it's a reflection of the quality about candidates. they are all running on the same programme. an investigation has been launched into the mid—air collision of two second world war planes at an air show in texas. a p63 fighter hit a b17 bomber during an event to remember veterans in dallas. it's not been confirmed whether there have been any casualties but organisers say up to six people were onboard. prayers and thoughts for the crews that were involved today, for the people that saw it, for the family members. obviously, this is a very challenging time for those families. and when i say family, i mean the caf family and our customers that follow us all over the world and enjoy our shows. ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, has said that russian troops destroyed all critical infrastructure in kherson and nearby areas before they withdrew to the east bank

of the dnipro river. he said the city was left with no heat, electricity, water or communications. there's also huge concern about significant damage to a major dam in the area. 0ur correspondentjames waterhouse sent this report from 0desa in ukraine. 36 miles north of kherson, a reminder that liberation is rarely simple. this is the kakhovka dam — one of ukraine's biggest hydroelectric power plants. it's not clear who did this. a section's clearly been destroyed. if it collapsed, more than 80 locations would be flooded, including kherson. for now, the city is full of relief and celebration. the sight of ukrainian soldiers marks the end of eight months of russian occupation. recovery will take longer. translation: before fleeing from kherson, the occupiers i destroyed all critical infrastructure, communication,

water supply, heat, electricity. russian forces everywhere have the same goal. mockery of people as much as possible. but we will restore everything, believe me. russian forces may have retreated across the dnipro river, but they haven't gone away. we have been warned yesterday by our general staff of the ukrainian armed forces that russians are making new fortifications on the left bank side of the dnipro river, and there is a likelihood of massive artillery shelling. ukraine forcing russia out completely is still a long way off. but, in a war which brings more bad news than good, this is a country savoring kherson's liberation. all —— this is a country savouring kherson's liberation. all catherine byaruhanga is in kyiv for us this morning.

catherine, there's a huge amount of damage to infrastructure in kherson, isn't there? thatis that is the real problem right now, isn't it? troops may be allowed to liberate the city but getting it back up and running means there is a lot of work ahead.— back up and running means there is a lot of work ahead. good morning. her son has been — lot of work ahead. good morning. her son has been cut _ lot of work ahead. good morning. her son has been cut off— lot of work ahead. good morning. her son has been cut off from _ lot of work ahead. good morning. her son has been cut off from the - lot of work ahead. good morning. her son has been cut off from the rest - son has been cut off from the rest of ukraine for more than eight months. —— kherson. lots of infrastructure has been damaged. we saw people going out to fetch water with plastic bottles. as well as humanitarian considerations, this is also a security operation. a curfew has been set up in kherson and police are setting up checkpoints. there is the prospect that there is retreating forces had moved to other front lines in ukraine, especially in the east of the country. i was

speaking to a journalist who was in a front line town. he told me before he got to hospital a shell landed right at the entrance of the hospital. president zelensky is talking about hellish battles in eastern ukraine at the moment. this conflict has a humanitarian aspect but also a serious wall that is happening, especially now in the east. ., ~ happening, especially now in the east. . ,, , ., ., happening, especially now in the east. . ,, ., ., , ., happening, especially now in the east. . ., ., , ., east. thank you for that update stop -- a serious — east. thank you for that update stop -- a serious war. _ failings in the energy market have cost £2.7 billion — that's almost £100 per household, according to a group of mps. the public accounts committee said the industry regulator, 0fgem, had been too late to spot problems before a spike in wholesale energy prices last year, which caused dozens of suppliers to go bust. our business correspondent, mark ashdown, reports. until 2016, the energy market was dominated by the big six suppliers — including british gas and edf. 0fgem's efforts to create more competition and cheaper prices led to dozens of smaller firms flooding in.

but, within a couple of years, problems started to emerge. and this group of mps says the regulator was too slow to get a grip. it was a balance between how financially resilient they are where something went wrong. and when problems of their financial resilience became apparent in 2018, 0fgem didn't act till 2019, and a regulator needs to be there on the side of a consumer. and, in this case, they really missed that boat. and that, this report says, came at a cost. sincejuly last year, a total of 28 energy suppliers have gone out of business. that's affected around 4 million households. it's being paid for in all our bills to the tune of £2.7 billion, or £94 per household. the report says the energy price cap only gives limited protection to households. since it was first introduced in 2019, the typical bill payer has seen their costs go up by 221%. this committee now fears that wholesale prices could force the current cap of £3,500 for an average household

significantly higher. in a statement, 0fgem said the sheer scale and pace of this once—in—a—generation global energy price shock meant supplier failures were seen all over the world. but the supplier of last resort scheme acted as a vital safety net for british consumers, ensuring they continued to receive energy when their supplier failed. the committee of mps is also calling on the government to lay out how it plans to reform the energy market to support households as it moves away from fossil fuels towards more renewable energy supplies. mark ashdown, bbc news. a town in cambridge has knitted more than 200 armed forces figures for armistice day. take a look at this! this display is handcrafted by residents in whittlesey and represents the army, navy and royal air force. the display has been running for the past two

years after starting during the covid lockdowns to give residents something to keep them busy. fairto fair to say they have been very busy. knitted poppies are quite commonplace, aunt day? and hats on post boxes. i had never seen anything like that before. how long does it take to knit one of those? so clever. in around an hour, we'll be catching up with rugby league legend kevin sinfield, as he starts his epic third and final challenge running seven ultra marathons in seven days to raise funds for motor neurone disease. the man is an absolute legend already. he has done such incredible things, notjust in raising money but full awareness of and —— mnd. we will be there to support him as he kicks things off later this morning and cheer him along his way. pretty

gruelling first day ahead of him. we'll keep ion that. —— we will keep an eye on that. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. he is starting at murrayfield. it will be fine. this bug is mostly across eastern england at the moment. some of it is dense in places. if you are setting a fairly full remembrance sunday service, bearing in mind. this ability less than 100 metres in basis. the morning fog will lead to sunny spells. in some places it will take its time. whether it is gone by 11 o'clock is a query. there are signs of a change to come but not really until the end of the day. the fog is

the main problem this morning, particularly across central and eastern and south—east england. some of it will be slow to clear across the midlands, is lincolnshire and into east yorkshire. not too bad across scotland. add dry and hopefully sunny start to the day. you will start to see the bug slowly lifting, perhaps lingering across the northeast where i have already talked about. elsewhere, lighter winds. sheltered western area starting off with sunshine. a beautiful day as a whole. there is clad with rain pushing into northern ireland. that will take most of the day. a stronger breeze ahead of the system. the winds will stay frontal system. the winds will stay light. that will not help to shift the fog. the wind is coming from a southerly direction. another mild story, 12 to 18 degrees the high.

through this evening and overnight we are going to see this rain, some of the heavy, moving into northern ireland, western fringes of wales and south—west england. we do have some clearer skies and temperatures into single figures. a lot going on first thing monday. some of the fog could be dense in places. as the fog squeezes into the area of high pressure it will weaken. a narrow band of rain across western scotland, north—west england, down towards the isle of wight by the middle of the afternoon. not as mild on monday but temperatures still above where they should be at the time of year. monday into tuesday there will be a spell of wet and windy weather moving through. heavy rain to come on tuesday. that will push its way north and east. allowing for some improvement before showers tuck in behind. look at the

difference! temperatures on tuesday where they should be for the time of year, between ten and 12 celsius. we were talking about needing my coat yesterday. i went out in just a t—shirt. it was great. i told you not to jump the gun! layers. t—shirt. it was great. i told you not tojump the gun! layers. i'm going to be standing with a group of beavers outside the parish church later. makes a change. we associate doing those things in the freezing cold. with small children it is not fun. the cost—of—living crisis could lead to some foster carers quitting if extra money is not provided to help cover increasing costs. support service foster talk said some carers were reaching a "crisis point" and has called for urgent action. 0ur social affairs correspondent

emma glasby has this report. we started fostering in 2007. so just coming up 16 years. i was brought up in a big family. i seem to have this ability to look after huge numbers of children. that's just what i do, and i love doing it. at their home in scarborough, jacqui and her husband are foster carers as well as bringing up their own children. they take in foster children long term in emergencies, and often look after traumatised children with extra needs. but jacqui's concerned foster care allowances are not covering the rising cost of living. foster carers are already subsidising these children's lives. and so, yeah, i am worried because, you know, not all foster carers are in a position where they can do that, and we are already so short of foster carers, you've got to worry for the children that are coming into care. where do they go?

fostering payments vary. jacqui fosters for north yorkshire county council. for a child aged between five and ten, she gets £195 a week to cover costs. for 11 to 15 year olds, it's £242. it's to cover food, possibly school meals, clothing, transport to school orfamily visits, toiletries, pocket money, days out, internet, perhaps a mobile phone. it's also for activities like swimming, football or gymnastics, which jacqui says are vital. these children often have very low self—esteem. they suffer from anxiety. they need these things probably more than your own children do, because they need outlets that are creative, something that they can find that they're good at. but if you're not in that situation where you have additional income from whatever, those things are just going to have to stop. so the children suffer?

so the children suffer, yeah. the government says no foster carer should be out of pocket because of the support they provide, but told us that fostering service providers are responsible for setting their own payment structures, using the national minimum allowance. north yorkshire county council told us that in october, it took the unusual decision of increasing fostering payments for the second time this year because of concerns about rising costs. more than 70% of children in care are in foster placements, but many older carers are leaving, and it's a struggle to replace them. some foster carers can have jobs, but jacqui looks after extremely vulnerable children, and says working would be impossible. some children are awake all night. some children abscond. we've had to kind of drive to places looking for these children, reporting things to the police, waiting up on phone calls

for the child to be returned back to you. if people are already out working 40 hours a week, they don't have space in their lives. it worries me constantly... ..about what's going to happen in the future. after the pandemic, and now the rising cost of living, there are growing demands on the care system. councils must find a way to keep hold of foster carers and recruit new ones. emma glasbey, bbc news. we are going to be talking about that later on in the programme. if you have any experience of fostering yourself, to get in touch. it underlines how the cost of living crisis affects so many aspects of day—to—day life. heartbreak yesterday for england's women's

rugby union team and then in the semifinalfor the in the semifinal for the rugby league team. the be a world cup final in the cricket delivers. yesterday, big super saturday was a big disappointment. gb using the billie jean cup tie in the tennis. 0ne disappointment. gb using the billie jean cup tie in the tennis. one big hope for england today and that is in australia against pakistan in the t20 world cup. only an hour and a half to go until england's men will take on pakistan in the t20 cricket world cup final. this is whether permitting. england have been preparing in melbourne. they're on a high after alex hales and captainjos buttler scored 170 between them to beat india in the semifinal and buttler admits he's been thinking about what'd feel like to lift that trophy: you dream about that kind of thing. it links back to being a kid, what

you are doing the garden with your brother and sister, pretending to lift the trophy in that kind of thing. now to have the opportunity to kind of live that thing out is incredibly special. we have been looking at weather updates. 100% chance of rain they said stop things are looking better. 0ur cricket reporter henry morean is there for us the first question has to be, what is the weather looking like at the moment? what are the chances of this match starting on time? we moment? what are the chances of this match starting on time?— match starting on time? we had not had a drop of _ match starting on time? we had not had a drop of rain _ match starting on time? we had not had a drop of rain all— match starting on time? we had not had a drop of rain all day. _ match starting on time? we had not had a drop of rain all day. looking i had a drop of rain all day. looking at the radar, there is rain moving in from the north. the good news is we have dodged the worst of it. if victoria towards canberra has taken

most of it. here at the mcg, the problem was not the rain that was falling at the time but rain beforehand. any rain that fell made it so much harder the empires to see the outfield fit for play. if there is rain and it stops we should get play going pretty quickly. the hope is that we have an entire day without play and at 7pm we see the heavens opening. it without play and at 7pm we see the heavens opening.— heavens opening. it can run later and we do _ heavens opening. it can run later and we do not — heavens opening. it can run later and we do not want _ heavens opening. it can run later and we do not want to _ heavens opening. it can run later and we do not want to get - heavens opening. it can run later and we do not want to get to - heavens opening. it can run later and we do not want to get to the | and we do not want to get to the scenario of sharing the trophy. both sides will want to avoid that. what has the atmosphere been like? we know how allowed the indian fans could be. 90,000 are expected in melbourne today. pakistan will have a strong showing as well. what has build—up been like?

you mentioned the game at adelaide, according to the barmy army there were just 80 england supporters according to the barmy army there werejust 80 england supporters in the stadium! that was the challenge england faced in terms of the atmosphere. having walked into the ground in the last hour or so i can safely say we are looking at a similar proportion in terms of the packis similar proportion in terms of the pack is done is apart compared to the england support. there is a lot more pakistan flags but we can expect a brilliant atmosphere. we have seen passionate cricket fans throughout this tournament. it was one of the great sporting occasions of the last ten years the last time, and i think we can look forward to something similar. it's not going to be i don't think completely full because a lot of india supporters bought tickets expecting their side to be here. close to here there is an executive box with team india on

it. it is a huge occasion and walking into the ground in the last hour as i say a wonderful atmosphere, just can't wait for it to start. atmosphere, 'ust can't wait for it to start. ., ., ~' atmosphere, 'ust can't wait for it to start. ., ., ~ ., ., atmosphere, 'ust can't wait for it to start. ., ., ., to start. looking forward to it here as well. to start. looking forward to it here as well- we _ to start. looking forward to it here as well. we will _ to start. looking forward to it here as well. we will leave _ to start. looking forward to it here as well. we will leave it _ to start. looking forward to it here as well. we will leave it there - to start. looking forward to it here as well. we will leave it there for l as well. we will leave it there for now. you can hear commentary on five spot extra. let's move away from cricket. it's the final weekend of the premier league before all eyes shift to the world cup in qatar which starts a week today, and arsenal will be the leaders at christmas. they're five points clear of manchester city at the top of the table after a 2—0 win over wolves. two goals from martin 0degaard getting them all three points. mikel arteta's side have now won 12 of their first 14 matches, and go into the world cup break on a high. i would train tomorrow but unfortunately everyone is going away. hopefully we will look after

them in and enjoy an incredible experience which is a footballer doesn't get better than playing for your country. brentford's ivan toney missed out on a place in england's world cup squad but had the perfect response, scoring twice as they beat manchester city 2—1 in a shock victory at the etihad. newcastle united stay third in the premier league after beating chelsea 1—0 at st james' park — thanks to a fantastic goal from joe willock. newcastle are now two points behind manchester city and seven points behind arsenal. arguably, the game of the day was at the tottenham hotspur stadium as spurs came from behind three times to beat leeds 4—3 in a thrilling match. rodrigo bentancur scoring twice late on, they go into the break in fourth place. there was an injury scare for leicester's james maddison just days after receiving his england call—up. he scored twice in leicester's 2—0 victory over west ham, but was taken off in the 25th minute with an apparent leg injury. afterwards manager brendan rodgers said he's fine,

and was substituted as a precaution. celtic have extended their lead at the top of the scottish premiership to nine points — they beat ross county 2—1 while rangers were held to a 1—1 draw at st mirren. the home side took the lead just after half time from declan gallagher's long throw — ayunga scoring at the second time of asking. rangers equalised with six minutes to go after ryan kent was brought down, captainjames tavernier put away the resulting penalty. there was drama and disappointment for england's men at the rugby league world cup as they were beaten by samoa in their semi—final. a golden—point drop goal decided the game and provided one of the shocks of the tournament as adam wild reports from the emirates stadium. up up close and personal, here was

england's challenge. a samoan battle cry for the ages but behind the passion a purpose. england had already beaten samoa once at this tournament, but now the stakes are higher and the opposition stronger. tim laffey racing in and england were behind. arrival returned on its head for tom burgess, quite literally. samoa the lead at the break, england for the first time at this world cup struggling. samoa side reborn, revitalised. this deception looked certain to have won it. england's stunned fans could only watch, seconds remaining england with a final chance of a breakaway. herbie farnworth restoring a hope that had all but vanished. now the dreaded golden

point next score wins it and almost unbearable but unbearable tension. but when the ball once crichton, ball fell once more to crichton, this was samoa's moment. samoa into the final of the rugby league world cup. so after all the hope, the heartbreak. this is england's world cup but it is them that are going home. women's rugby league semifinals tomorrow so there is still plenty of hope. i love your optimism! we will keep you in touch with the cricket throughout the show this morning, and you can listen to it on five sports extra as well. now time for the travel show.

kenya has been at warfor decades. its enemy? the poachers who prey on its precious wildlife. 0l pejeta conservancy's canine unit are just one of the many groups across africa taking up the fight against poaching. this illegal trade has threatened the very existence of animals like these. at the endangered species enclosure at 0l pejeta, will and i have been brought to meet mother and daughter, najin and fatu, the last surviving two northern white rhinos on earth. and here, it's very soft, on their ears. here. who's this? this is najin. hello, najin!

selling for something more than us$60,000. you can imagine a rhino, that is a lot of money and it's a lot of business and that's why still poaching becomes a serious problem. i kind of want to show you a footprint of a rhino. right here, we have one. it's humbling to meet najin and fatu, but frustrating not be able to see them. althouthames is teaching me some age—old rhino tracking techniques that rely on other sensors. but he told me to expect to get my hands dirty — very dirty. rhinos are very hygienic in nature. they drop their poop in a collective place, we call it a midden. it's pretty fresh.

much of rhinos' poop is semi—digested grass. it feels like soil back at home. yeah. i guess it's fertiliser. 0h, now it is smelling a bit doggy. and so there are all rhinos dropping their poop together. oh, you're... there is the smell! it doesn't smell that bad. itjust smells of, like, off grass, you know? the reason why we value these middens is especially when you're doing patrols as rangers, the rangers will use this as a parameter. yes. but lots of rhinos use it to communicate. they poop out different smells at different stages. a young one is different from a mature rhino, a female is different from a male. the canine unit who protect the animals here are made up of armed rangers and highly trained dogs. each of these brave pooches has a special ability, from picking up the scent of a poacher to detecting ammunition, and even attacking potential suspects so they can be detained.

and their target today...is me. the canine unit raise funds for their work by allowing tourists to take part in their dogs�* training. sarah's going to smell my scent and go, "that's her" and track my footsteps. ok, let's go. we're hiding now. 0k, we're hiding — we're hiding from sarah. this swab is like a scent magnet. yeah, hopefully she doesn't see me and shejust... yeah, we're testing her! sarah the dog can get everything she needs to know to find me from a quick sniff of a swab rubbed over my footprint. so scared! i don't know was she's gonna do when she finds me!

i mean, she's got her harness on and she's in work mode, and i know more than anyone that a dog in work mode is so focused, just like my guide dog girl is. humans live in a world of sight, whereas man's best friend lives in a world of smell and can follow the scent across the plains. they're coming...gosh! good girl! there you go! you found me! well done! clever girl! you're just so amazing! does she look happy with herself? she probably does! all in a day's work, hey, honey? before i left 0l pejeta for the maasai mara, james and will wanted

to introduce me to another type of rhino. meet baraka, the blind rhino. this is baraka. oh, i can hear him! in the local language, baraka means blessed. blessed. yes. 0h, he sounds sweet. is he eating his little leaves? black rhinos are nervous in temperament, which can make them really aggressive and hard to get close to on safari. but this one is an exception to the rule and happily lets visitors feed him. meet �*baraka the blind'. he lost his right eye to a fight with another rhino. did he lose that first, the right eye? yeah, his right eye first. same as me, yeah. and then the left eye got a disease, cataracts, and the attempts to treat the cataracts were futile. ijust — i really... i really feel for him, you know, having to get around in this enclosure and learning his way about.

and the same with the cataract — that must be so confusing for him when he was first going blind. was he... was he upset in any way, could you tell that he was upset? yeah, he was very upset. he was the age of one to 14, he was roaming free out in the wild and i think him becoming blind at the age of 14, he had to learn how to do things in that state. 0k, yeah. it was really hard, it was really hard. i know for us sometimes we have people to help us. we have dogs to help us in our movement and, you know, the caretakers had to step in, which was not easy because he was still aggressive. so he was very defensive in himself. so i'm really happy for what he's made of himself and being able to still be here. yeah, it's so hard. i just, yeah. . .i understand. i have a really rare genetic condition and i had a cataract too that eventually, in my last remaining eye, just like baraka, it kind of, like, made my vision go and eventually that got,

you know, it detached my retina at the back. sorry. cries. it's ok, it's ok. it's completely fine. but, honestly, when you call baraka a blessing, it is a blessing. it is a blessing to be blind, because it means he's meant to teach people a lesson. he's meant to — he's meant to be here to get people to understand that you shouldn't be poaching these beautiful animals. i'm sorry. it's hard. it's taking an emotional toll on you, realising the journey that baraka has been through. james, is he happy? he is a happy rhino. i think the munching itself, you can tell.

we are near the waterfalls. what can you see? i can see a camel, just close... a camel?! yeah, just a camel! laughs. there's a cameljust close to us. how many humps? 0ne hump — one hump, one hump, yes. and there's a carjust close to you — there's a toy carjust close to you. a toy car! so it's a playground for children. thomson's falls is a huge tourist attraction and there's a viewing platform where you can check out the 74m—high waterfall. but that's not going to cut it for me. what's this — is this stairs? yes, these are stairs. lovely. are they uneven, will? yeah. 0h, 0k. um... i'm a bit afraid that i'm going to fall, so i'm just going to give you this tag for your arm. itjust helps me balance a lot more so i can use the cane and hold on to you then.

instead, will and i are going to hike down to the bottom of the ravine... i'll get you to hold onto it. ..so i can get to really experience the falls. normal amount, cool. then... yep. ..bring your leg there. there, yep. so, what you're going to do first — we'll pass through here, we can go slowly. this is the nastiest... the nastiest, yeah. ..of all of them. 0k. so let me hold you. yeah. wow! well done, will. well done. you're welcome. thank you so much. you're welcome. and you were using my cane, weren't you? laughs. it's the toughest! it is! it's the toughest thing i've ever done! the ability to just think negatively about my blindness, i used to think, oh, well, going to a different country is just a really expensive way

of basically being in my back garden, and i didn't appreciate what else you could get from an experience. all you keep having to tell yourself is, you know, i'm getting to the waterfall, i'm getting to the waterfall. and now i can feel it on my face, it'sjust the best thing ever — that i've ever experienced. so, the waterfall is about 74 metres going down. 0k. it is 70 feet deep. and i'm guessing at the bottom of the waterfall, it's, like, really harsh, like, white water. yes, it has, like, foam. so this type of landscape, i didn't think you will ever reach here. i'm very proud of you. thank you.

so, lucy, are you ready to go to the migration in maasai mara? i am, i'm so ready. this is the classic africa of storybooks and the location of the great migration. betweenjune to september each year, over 1.5 million wildebeest make the 300—mile round trip from the serengeti in tanzania to the maasai mara here in kenya in search of fresh grass.

that's if they can get past the lions, the hyenas and cheetahs laying in wait for them. they then have to tackle the steep—sided rivers that cross the migration route. most of these rivers are teaming with nile crocodiles that can grow up to 20 feet in length. the river crossings are pure natural theatre, and they're what the 300,000 tourists who visit here each year come to experience. but the crossings are extremely rare to see, so let's just hope i have some beginner's luck.

as will and i arrive at the gates of the maasai mara national reserve, i get to meet some entrepreneurial maasai women. lovely to meet you, linda. can you — can you tell me what you're selling? i can't see you. crosstalk. this giraffe? it's linda. hi, linda! so, basically... laughs. i don't know what to do! sorry... someone hit me in the head with the giraffe! ok, i need to take control of this. everyone take a step back. ok, here you go. thank you so much, i love them! linda! i don't think i've ever been so overwhelmed in my whole entire life. i don't know what these are. i don't know what... i mean, they're giraffes. once they found out i love giraffes, i got about 70 giraffes, but i wasn't allowed to feel them. so, um... i will treasure these

forever on my mantelpiece. gerald and lenny! the maasai are a kenyan tribe and famed across the country — so much so that their shield and spears can be seen on the nationalflag. traditionally, maasai life has been built around their cattle but that way of life has come under threat in an ever—modernising world. but with more and more tourists coming to kenya for the great migration, the maasai are diversifying into tourism and opening some of their villages so visitors can experience their traditional way of life. ooh, yeah! the women of the village have decided if i can't see them with my eyes, then they will give me the chance to wear their traditional dress — which is great for me, as it's really tactile. did you make this?

yeah! traditional singing. we like guests. even our father say, the guests, they are best. yeah? and they are blessed. yeah. and actually, they go to see the big five. they say they want to see the big six. you know, the maasai, they're the big six. oh, right! yeah, because... so, five animals and then you guys. and then us. the best time to go on a game drive is either last thing at night orfirst thing in the morning. will believes if we are to have any chance in catching a river crossing, we will have to be out in the vehicle before dawn. so tonight, we are staying at a place called sala's camp,

deep in the maasai mara on the banks of the sand river. animal noises. oh, what is that?! but it's very overwhelming. every little sound, i'm like, "what is that?" i can hear it. gasps. animal noises. that sounds so close! after finding out i was being kept awake half the night by a baboon and a leopard having an argument, it was time to head out to try and find an elusive river crossing. but it didn't take long before i got a reminder ofjust how deadly this journey is for the wildebeest. what's that noise? so, the noise is a kill. 0k. so, the noises that you hear... cracking. cracking, yeah. ..is the vultures trying to

remove the meat off the bones. then they are eating the intestines. are these birds dangerous, will? it's dangerous when you are dead. laughs. this is the feasting season for the predators. yeah. oh, i can hear the wildebeest to the left of me! for most of the year, the maasai mara is quiet and calm with bush wilderness that goes on for miles. but during the migration, it's a totally different story. can you hear the sounds of the wildebeest? it's everywhere, isn't it? 3d sound! yes. something you can't get anywhere else. it's just beautiful. i love it and i've got my little figure here.

do they look like this, will? yes, they look like this. so, first, their legs looks like hyena. they have very weak legs. yes. when god was creating the wildebeest, he was the last animal to be created. hmm—mm. a wildebeest is made with different types of animals. so, on the top is like a horse. on the horns, they look like a cow horn. yes. then they have the beards, like a goat. they do? giggles. a beard like a goat! around you, how many wildebeests would you say there were? i think we have the herd is about 50,000 or maybe 100,000, just close to us. gasps. as there's so many wildebeest around the area our camp is in, this is a good sign that a crossing is about to happen. the ones who are moaning at the leaders, those are the leaders, they are

the ones who are moaning because now, it's early in the morning, it's only the leaders who are going to make it, who have to go. but following a herd of wildebeest is not easy. until will spots some shadowy figures at the edge of the river. so, the leader has just called for them to cross. yes. and now, they're making noise. they're communicating, saying, there is nothing. there's no crocs or there are no hippos around. this is a case of right place and right time for both us and the wildebeest. can you hear them in the water? yeah, ican! and, yes, thousands and thousands crossing right now. maybe the lions and crocs were already full because this time, it seems that the herd reached the other side of the river and fresh

grass unscathed. i may have taken the long way round on this safari, from my own, but now, i'm getting to experience one of nature's marvels — something i'd never thought i'd be doing when i first lost my eyesight. so, this is the eighth wonder of the world. later that evening, i wanted to end my safari in the traditional way — with a sundowner, where you enjoy a drink watching the sunset against the beautiful african sky. not a very blind—friendly experience, let's face it! but then, kenya had other plans.

would you like a drink? both laugh. can i have a g&t, please, will? yes! so, enjoy! it knew that i wanted rain because i can't see the sun. and all the animals are happy! yeah! all the animals are happy, and so is this blind girl! yeah! cheers! this is my blind girl sundown! this has been one of the most amazing things i have ever done and now, i can well and truly say this is how a blind girl goes on safari. thunder rumbles

good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. our headlines today... on remembrance sunday, king charles will lead the service at the cenotaph for the first time as monarch since the death of his mother. fanfare. he joined other members of the royal family at the festival of remembrance last night to pay tribute to servicemen and women. spending cuts of £35 billion are expected from the chancellor in thursday's autumn statement, along with plans to raise billions in tax. more than 40,000 migrants have crossed the channel in small boats so far this year — the highest number since figures were first collected. good morning form murrayfield in edinburgh, where rugby league star kevin sinfield is about to begin the massive challenge of running seven ultra marathons in seven days.

unchanged for decades. but this year, as the final preparations are made, there will be one significant difference. for nearly all of her 70 years on the throne, queen elizabeth ii was at the cenotaph on remembrance sunday, honouring service and sacrifice. this year, after her death, she will be one of those we remember today. later this morning, for the first time as monarch, the king will lay a wreath here at the cenotaph. it is a new design that will incorporate his racing colours of scarlet, purple and gold — a tradition set by his mother, his grandfather and his great—grandfather. fanfare. last night, the king led the royal family, paying tribute to servicemen and women at the festival of remembrance. it began with a tribute to his mother, the queen, and her role as commander—in—chief of the armed forces and patron of the royal british legion.

a focus of remembrance this year will be those killed during the falklands war 40 years ago. their sacrifice was remembered, and today 400 members of the south atlantic medal association will march past the cenotaph. as the service ended, from the ceiling of the royal albert hall, the poppies fell — a reminder of bloodshed and lives lost. as a new king, a new commander—in—chief leads the country in a weekend of remembrance. # happy and glorious. # long to reign over us. # god save the king!#

on the tax side, income tax will play a big part. we will not necessarily see rates of income tax change. thresholds will be frozen. the rate at which you start paying, the amount at which you start paying more tax as you and more is frozen, meaning more people end up paying more as wages go up over time. it could also be the top rate of tax, 45p in the pound is paid by those earning £125,000 or more as opposed to £150,000 or more at the moment. we are being told it is unlikely departments will get any more money before 2025. beyond that the treasury is talking about an extra 1% in terms of budgets. many think about how much prices are going up at the moment, the rate of inflation, it will feel like a real terms cut. their watchword will be

restraint and it will be very difficult for a lot of conservative mps, not least the general public to swallow. ., ~ mps, not least the general public to swallow. ., ,, , ., , . more than 40,000 migrants have crossed the channel from france to england in small boats this year, the bbc has calculated. it's the highest number since the figures were first collected in 2018. two years ago there were just over eight thousand arrivals. britain and france are reportedly close to a deal to increase patrols along the french coast. the democrats have kept control of the us senate after winning the state of nevada. in a tight race, catherine cortez masto defeated the republican candidate, who had been endorsed by donald trump, giving her party the 50 seats it needs to have the majority vote in the chamber. the results amount to the best midterm performance for a sitting party in 20 years. an investigation has been launched into the mid—air collision

of two second world war planes at an air show in texas. a p63 fighter hit a b17 bomber during an event to remember veterans in dallas. it's not been confirmed whether there have been any casualties but organisers say up to six people were onboard. ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, has said that russian troops destroyed all critical infrastructure in kherson and nearby areas before they withdrew to the east bank of the dnipro river. he said the city was left with no heat, electricity, water or communications. there's also huge concern about significant damage to a major dam in the area. a big day ahead for kevin cynthia. —— rugby league legend kevin sinfield sets off this morning

on what is arguably his toughest challenge yet — running seven ultra marathons in seven days. it's the third and final part of his epic mission to raise awareness and funds for those impacted by motor neurone disease, inspired by his former teammate rob burrow. starting at murrayfield in edinburgh, kevin will make his way south into england and pass through chester—le—street, york and bradford before finishing at old trafford in time for the men's rugby league world cup final next saturday. when you see it like that on the map you get a sense of how far it is, don't you? richard askam is with kevin this morning. everyone was in fine voice earlier. richard, how are the final preparations going? we are going to speak to kevin and a moment. this is where he is setting

woman who wants the job, rachel reeves, shadow chancellor. also a special day with remembrance sunday, that their sadness at the cenotaph for the new king. we will be joined by a man deeply involved with all of that. maybe he will have special recollections for remembrance sunday. i hope to see you then. thank you very much. we're here on the bbc news channel until nine this morning. we will be talking about the remembrance services taking place across the uk. will be finding out how foster carers are quitting if they do not have an increase in

money. but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. bye for now.

good morning. it is 7.25. this is breakfast with ben thompson and rachel burden. and it is definitely november, apparently i said october earlier. plenty to talk about this morning but we will start with this story. more than 40,000 migrants have crossed the channel from france to england in small boats this year, the bbc has calculated. it's the highest number since the figures were first collected in 2018. two years ago there were just

over 8,000 arrivals. our reporter simonjones is in dover for us this morning. simon, milder weather has led to more crossings, hasn't it? but also we are hearing lots of response from government agencies on both sides of the channels about how they might tackle this crisis. yes. they might tackle this crisis. yes, there have _ they might tackle this crisis. yes, there have been _ they might tackle this crisis. yes, there have been a _ they might tackle this crisis. yes, there have been a lot _ they might tackle this crisis. yes, there have been a lot of- they might tackle this crisis. 12: there have been a lot of initiatives recently to try to stop the crossings or at least bring down the number of people making the dangerous journey, number of people making the dangerousjourney, but number of people making the dangerous journey, but the number of people making the dangerousjourney, but the reality is this is largely dependent upon the weather. that is really dictating it. today it was foggy at the start of the day, that has now lifted. it is very calm in the channel so we are expecting another busy day for crossings. the dover lifeboat launched a couple of times over night and yesterday it is thought hundreds of people made the journey taking us beyond the 40,000 figure so far this year. in terms of trying to stop the crossings, the latest hope for the government is a new agreement with the french

authorities. that is said to be very close to being signed. we may get further details later this week. that is likely to see the number of french police officers patrolling beachesin french police officers patrolling beaches in northern france increased once again. at the moment france is stopping around 42% of the crossings, but it is thought that number needs to be something like 70% to act as a real deterrent to the people smugglers and tried to break their business model. it is thought also british immigration officers could be based in france in control rooms for the first time. this morning writing in the delagrave, robertjenrick —— writing in the telegraph said he wanted to stop the lure of fancy hotels. he says he wants to use more suitable accommodation as he sees it, possibly looking at former student

accommodation or possibly former parks which are no longer in use to use to try to stop the idea of hotels being a magnet. simon, thank ou for hotels being a magnet. simon, thank you for now- — the democrats have kept control of the us senate after winning the state of nevada — a significant achievement for the party. in a tight race, catherine cortez masto defeated the republican candidate who had been endorsed by donald trump, giving her party the 50 seats it needs to have the majority vote in the chamber. our north america correspondent david willis has more. in these elections, joe biden's democrats have outperformed expectations, there's no question about that. us projections giving victory in the key swing state of nevada to the democrat candidate catherine cortez masto, who was up against a trump—endorsed republican candidate, adam laxalt. now, at one point, ms

cortez masto was trailing her republican rival. but then came the votes from the most populated part of the state of nevada, clark county. that's the area around the city of las vegas. that tipped it in the democrats' favour. it paves the way for the democrats to take up 50 seats in the new senate. and with the casting vote of the vice president, kamala harris, they will therefore have a majority in the upper house. but even more remarkable, it seems, is the democrats' performance in the house of representatives. republicans seem certain to have acquired the majority there, but by a much slimmer margin than many had predicted previously, perhaps by as few as a handful of votes. that will still give them the opportunity, however, to stymiejoe biden's legislative agenda, something that they have made clear that they intend to do, including over possibly the provision of further

military aid to ukraine. but given that inflation in this country is currently at a near more than 40—year high and his approval rating is as low as it's ever been as far asjoe biden is concerned, this was a remarkable performance in these midterm elections by the democrats. midterm elections traditionally, of course, in this country favour the party in opposition, and this amounts to the best performance of its kind in 20 years — since george w bush's republicans achieved gains in both houses of congress back in 2002 following 9/11. david willis of there in washington for us. ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, has said that russian troops destroyed all critical infrastructure in kherson and nearby areas before they withdrew to the east bank of the dnipro river. he said the city was left with no heat, electricity, water or communications. there's also huge concern

about significant damage to a major dam in the area. our correspondentjames waterhouse sent this report from 0desa in ukraine. 36 miles north of kherson, a reminder that liberation is rarely simple. this is the kakhovka dam — one of ukraine's biggest hydroelectric power plants. it's not clear who did this. a section's clearly been destroyed. if it collapsed, more than 80 locations would be flooded, including kherson. for now, the city is full of relief and celebration. the sight of ukrainian soldiers marks the end of eight months of russian occupation. recovery will take longer. translation: before fleeing from kherson, the occupiers i destroyed all critical infrastructure, communication, water supply, heat, electricity. russian forces everywhere

have the same goal. mockery of people as much as possible. but we will restore everything, believe me. russian forces may have retreated across the dnipro river, but they haven't gone away. we have been warned yesterday by our general staff of the ukrainian armed forces that russians are making new fortifications on the left bank side of the dnipro river, and there is a likelihood of massive artillery shelling. ukraine forcing russia out completely is still a long way off. but, in a war which brings more bad news than good, this is a country savouring kherson's liberation. james waterhouse there with the latest from ukraine. failings in the energy market have cost £2.7 billion — that's almost £100 per household, according to a group of mps. the public accounts committee said the industry regulator, 0fgem,

had been too late to spot problems before a spike in wholesale energy prices last year, which caused dozens of suppliers to go bust. an iranian man who lived in a paris airport for 18 years has died. mehran karimi nasseri was caught in diplomatic limbo when he made a small area of roissy charles de gaulle airport his home in 1988. his experience inspired the 2004 film, the terminal, starring tom hanks. emer mccarthy reports. mehran karimi nasseri's story was stranger than fiction. an iranian exile, he lived in paris' charles de gaulle airport for 18 years after being refused entry to britain and france because he had no papers. here he is speaking back in 1999. i think nobody can live 11 years in such a situation. and i am a unique immigration case.

i have appealed to two, three, four governments, and some have been successfully granted, and some refused, but in this situation, i am a unique immigration case. all of his possessions were stored in boxes and bags on an airport cart, and he would wash and shave in airport bathrooms. mr navorski, follow me. his story grabbed the attention of the famed director stephen spielberg and inspired the 2004 film the terminal. there is a man walking around the terminal in a bath robe. tom hanks played the role of viktor navorski who was based on mehran karimi nasseri, and found himself stranded atjfk. despite being granted refugee status and the right to remain in france in 1999, mehran stayed at the

airport until 2006. he then spent time living in a hostel, using the money he had received for the terminal. an airport official said he returned to the airport a few weeks ago, where he lived until he died of natural causes in terminal 2f. he was 76. that was the most remarkable story. incredible. being caught in that limbo and you have nowhere to turn. incredible stories have emerged from sport this weekend. world cup is going on all over the place, hasn't gone the way of england fans yet? no, not in rugby league for the men we know and not in rugby union for the women but the cricket world cup is 30 minutes away and we are keeping an eye on the weather in melbourne. it is looking good at the moment and it looks like play will get under way at eight o'clock our time. england playing pakistan have

won the toss, they have put pakistan in to bat and they are unchanged from the team that thrashed india. can they now get themselves over the line? pakistan seemingly without momentum, they lost their first game to zimbabwe but have looked good since. england preparing in melbourne on a high. alex hales, jos buttler scored 120 between them. jos buttler scored 120 between them. jos buttler admits he has been thinking about what it would feel like to lift that trophy. i certainly have a few dreams about that kind of thing and of course i think it really links back to what you are like as a kid really. it's the kind of things you would be doing in the garden with your brother and sister, pretending to lift a trophy and that kind of thing. now to have the opportunity to have a chance to live that kind of thing out is incredibly special. live commentary, you can hear that ball by ball from eight o'clock on

five sports extra. there was drama and disappointment for england's men at the rugby league world cup as they were beaten by samoa in their semi final. a golden—point drop goal decided the game and provided one of the shocks of the tournament as adam wild reports from the emirates stadium. up close, personal, here was england's challenge. a samoan battle cry for the ages. but behind the passion, a purpose. england had already beaten samoa once at this tournament, crichton's intereption looked

certain to have won it. england's stunned fans could only watch on. seconds remaining, england with a final chance of a breakaway. herbie farnworth restoring a hope that had all but vanished. now the dreaded golden point next score wins it, an almost unbearable tension. but when the ball fell once more to crichton, this was samoa's moment. samoa into the final of the rugby league world cup. so after all the hope, the heartbreak, this is england's world cup but it is them that are going home. more on that shortly but we will talk about the commonwealth games as well. it's england wales in the semi—finals of the rugby league that's at 2.30. meanwhile in rugby union, england head into next week's

match against new zealand in the autumn nations full of confidence. they beat japan 52 points to 13 in a dominant performance. afterwards, england head coach eddiejones was full of praise for his side and said they have what it takes to beat the all blacks. new zealand face scotland later today. a mixed weekend of sport so far four home nations, what about the tennis? great britain's team at the billiejean king cup had exceeded expectations by reaching the semi finals of the competition for the first time since 1981.

but their surprise run came to an end after a tense deciding doubles match against australia in glasgow. level after the two singles ties, olivia nicholls and alicia barnett lost the doubles after going down 10—6 in the deciding tie break. could mercedes win their first race of the formula one season in brazil this evening? they'll have the best possible start with george russell on pole after winning yesterday's sprint race in brazil. he started from third at interlagos and fought an epic battle with new world champion max verstappen. he got past the dutchman just after the halfway point and went on to win comfortably. carlos sainz finished second, but a five place penalty for his ferrari's engine change sees lewis hamilton move up to second alongside his mercedes team mate. it was incredible. i expecting in all the hard but it goes to show all the hard work everyone is putting in and the progress we a team have made.

progress we as a team have made. these last three races, the cars have been really great. obviously difficult to know how max would have on had "thigh; " ”(£11.56 hébee'fi w 7 ”(£11.53 hébee'fi of w 7 7713577115}! hébee'fi 057g}; 77 7 7 7 $7511.73}! hébeefi 0561555277 77 7 got on had he been on the soft tyres, but nevertheless standing here is a great finish. former championjimmy white has been knocked out of uk snooker championships. his dream run was ended by ryan day in a 6—2 defeat. white had won four matches to qualify for the last 32 but day led from the start. he'll face england's sam craigie next, who knocked out defending champion zhao xintong. it is all happening today. i keep getting messages from various people in melbourne at the moment with pictures of the sky. it is cloudy and windy i'm told, but it looks like the rain is staying out the way and play should get under way in around 20 minutes.— and play should get under way in around 20 minutes. fingers crossed. stick around — around 20 minutes. fingers crossed. stick around for _ around 20 minutes. fingers crossed. stick around for this, _ around 20 minutes. fingers crossed. stick around for this, this _ around 20 minutes. fingers crossed. stick around for this, this is - around 20 minutes. fingers crossed. stick around for this, this is an - stick around for this, this is an interesting piece about the legacy

of the commonwealth games. the infrastructure built, can you use it afterwards or does it sit there is a white element? the sandwell aquatics centre was the only purposely built venue for the birmingham commonwealth games. now it's being remodelled at a cost of around 90 million pounds to provide a legacy for the community as amy cole reports. this wasn'tjust a place where athletes came to impress. this was the place that impressed, and it was seen on a global scale. the sandwell aquatics centre already boasts an olympic—sized swimming pool and a dive tower, but soon it will be known for much more. it's currently undergoing a ten—month phase of remodelling so that it's truly fit for the local community. take this area — a private pool tucked away from the main attraction. perfect for people with autism and those who want to be more discreet. look where this building is being built. it needs to work for the communities, the people that live here.

and if they say that what they want is a women—only gym and a women's only sauna, and that they want a pool that they can learn to swim in where they feel comfortable, well, those things have been built into the design of the building from the start, and they're still here today, even after we've had an amazing global competition here. i think they'll be enjoyed for decades to come. the centre will also house the largest dry dive facility in the uk. it's where diving stars of the future can come to train, and it's hoped that this will encourage dive clubs to spring up. this is a training facility for the competition divers, but it's more tailored around the younger people coming through. the people who've got aspirations to learn diving and to be the future generations of our divers in the uk. there will also be a gym, a cycling studio, two sports halls and an outdoor football pitch. state of the art. but times are hard, so how affordable will it be?

this will be a council—run leisure centre, it will be priced in line with our other leisure services. but there'll also be a range of concessions available and also we're looking at things like cheap entry points at different times of the day. so much of this centre is about creating a sporting legacy which will inspire generations of people to come. it's due to open nextjuly. amy cole, bbc news. that is the view this morning from birmingham. i’m that is the view this morning from iairmingham-_ that is the view this morning from birmingham. that is the view this morning from birminuham. �* . ., birmingham. i'm always fascinated as well how you — birmingham. i'm always fascinated as well how you can _ birmingham. i'm always fascinated as well how you can re-purpose - birmingham. i'm always fascinated as well how you can re-purpose a - well how you can re—purpose a building like that, built so specifically for one thing and yet... i making it sound very easy, i'm sure there's a lot of engineering into making it work. good luck to them. the engineering into making it work. good luck to them.— engineering into making it work. good luck to them. the weather today is important — good luck to them. the weather today is important because _ good luck to them. the weather today is important because a _ good luck to them. the weather today is important because a lot _ good luck to them. the weather today is important because a lot of - good luck to them. the weather today is important because a lot of people . is important because a lot of people will be outside for remembrance day events and looking at the picture behind louise it might be difficult to see what's going on! what is happening?—

may be in lincolnshire, the vale of york, always know darius for four, it could linger all day. in the afternoon clouding over into northern ireland and a weather front arriving here by the end of the day, but not really until after dark. in terms of the feel of the weather, not bad at all. the winds will stay on the light side for most, but across scotland and head of the rain, we will see stronger winds here. generally those temperatures are likely to peak between 12 and 18 celsius. at this time of year they should be around eight to 13 so you can see how mild it will continue to be. through the evening, here comes the fog once again. it will become quite dense in places. at the same time, i weatherfront quite dense in places. at the same time, i weather front pushes into northern ireland, the western fringes of wales and south—west england. if we get some clearer skies, favoured parts in scotland and maybe east anglia. but fog in

the morning could be dense in places yet again, bear that in mind for your monday morning commute. the rain will continue drifting eastwards, but with the high pressure controlling the story it weakens off, just a narrow band of nuisance rain for some and behind it we should see an improvement. ahead of it if the fog clears there will be some cloud around but staying dry. still above the average for the time of year. into tuesday we see wetter weather and windy weather pushing in. some of the rain really quite heavy on tuesday and quite windy with it as well. so on the whole spell of wet weather on tuesday, behind it brighter with some showers tucking in behind. noticeably milder, 11 to 13 degrees. still mild but not quite as warm as it has been, and it stays unsettled for the next few days with some sharp showers around. as we go through the week, it looks likely to be a little bit cooler. just a heads

up be a little bit cooler. just a heads up for you lot, if you will be watching the cricket in melbourne it might be dry at the moment but there is some rain on the way. hour might be dry at the moment but there is some rain on the way.— is some rain on the way. how bad is the rain likely _ is some rain on the way. how bad is the rain likely to _ is some rain on the way. how bad is the rain likely to be? _ is some rain on the way. how bad is the rain likely to be? is— is some rain on the way. how bad is the rain likely to be? is it _ is some rain on the way. how bad is the rain likely to be? is it going - the rain likely to be? is it going to persist? it the rain likely to be? is it going to persist?— the rain likely to be? is it going to ersist? , ., , ., to persist? it is really not looking aood. i to persist? it is really not looking good- i mean _ to persist? it is really not looking good. i mean yes, _ to persist? it is really not looking good. i mean yes, it— to persist? it is really not looking good. i mean yes, it could - to persist? it is really not looking good. i mean yes, it could really| good. i mean yes, it could really scupper the story i'm afraid. sorry to be the bare there are of good news! i will show you a graphic in half an hour if you are really interested. i half an hour if you are really interested.— half an hour if you are really interested. . ., ., ., . interested. i am all for a graphic! because also _ interested. i am all for a graphic! because also chetham _ interested. i am all for a graphic! because also chetham was - because also chetham was optimistically forecasting it would be ok_ optimistically forecasting it would be ok with his weather skills. that's— be ok with his weather skills. that's why i thought i will give you a heads up. don't get too excited, it is not looking good. taste a heads up. don't get too excited, it is not looking good.— a heads up. don't get too excited, it is not looking good. we will give ou it is not looking good. we will give you updates _ it is not looking good. we will give you updates with _ it is not looking good. we will give you updates with the _ it is not looking good. we will give you updates with the cricket, -

safe and effective the treatment is for liver cancer but interestingly, researchers have now found that histotripsy can, in some cases, kick—start an immune response, which means the body can start fighting the disease on its own. yasmin morgan—griffiths has been following one cancer patient on his histotripsyjourney. peter is a guinness world record—holding skateboarder but he had to retire from competing when he was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer three years ago. it can affect cells in several organs of the body, including the liver. it turns your life into a roller—coaster. just absolutely terrifying. you don't know how long you've got whatsoever. peter's liver tumours are so small and widespread they can't be removed through surgery. he had several rounds of radiation therapy and chemotherapy, but these took a heavy toll on him. fatigue, energy levels, really heavily hit. i had my review and they basically said i was not responding to the chemo. but then, peter was offered the chance to undergo a new cancer treatment at stjames's hospital in leeds. histotripsy is a type of focused ultrasound which destroys tissue inside the body, completely noninvasively.

it's much more precise than treatments which use heat or radiation, meaning it can better treat tumours which are small and widespread in vital organs like the liver. us—based tech company histosonics is running the most advanced histotripsy trial to date. there's tiny, nanometre—sized micro bubbles that naturally exist within tissue and when we hit a focus point with the ultrasound, it excites those bubbles and those bubbles expand and collapse and they mechanically destroy tissue. patients will awake from their procedure and generally most times not know that they were ever treated. the team is going to be using standard ultrasound to identify where in peter's body the tumour is. then they will use this robotic arm to deliver a much stronger therapeutic type of ultrasound to destroy it. histosonics�* technology is focused on the liver because tumours there are notoriously hard to treat and survival rates are low.

the hope is histotripsy will give inoperable patients like peter better treatment options. it sounded amazing, really. at the time, my alternative was basically to go to a stronger, heavier chemo and i was hoping not to have to do that. this is quite an opportunity. leeds teaching hospital's nhs trust is one of 16 centres in the us and europe taking part in the global hope for liver trial. its aim is to find out how safe and effective the treatment is. just 46 people worldwide have received the procedure so far, including peter. we are about to start a treatment here. professor tze min wah is overseeing his treatment. in the middle, next across, can you see the bubbles? that's the focal point of the treatment. you can hear the sound. so, can you see bits of the tumour being destroyed right now? you can see the focal point is destroying a tumour and as you can see the bright area here.

early studies have shown histotripsy can also kick—start an immune response that enables the body to fight cancer on its own. this is what tumour cells in rodents look like before histotripsy. but look at them after. the changing colour shows the immune system has been stimulated to destroy tumour cells. the hope for liver trial is investigating how and why histotripsy triggers this response and how reliably it can be seen in humans. two out of eight patients in a small initial study had this effect. that is, yeah, what i'm really hoping for is that you get the immune response and it starts to clear up all of the things in the liver. cancer experts say histotripsy could be a significant breakthrough. it would be potentially game changing for a lot of cancer patients. you don't need an invasive treatment, you don't need the toxic drugs that we may use in a standard chemotherapy, so you could have an example where you use histotripsy to stimulate the immune system and then you come in with the immune—activating drugs and they might be able

to then finish off the tumour. but there are some concerns. it may release bits of cancer in the process of breaking it up and obviously, the big concern there is if you release cancer cells around the body, then you might end up with the spread of the cancer to other places. i've not seen any evidence of that happening but it's something we and i'm sure the trial will keep an eye out for that. it's not clear if an immune responses been triggered in peter but a month after his procedure, professor wah was able to show me the results of his treatment. this is an mri before treatment for peter and this is the day after, and you can see this area is now totally treated and the dark area represents cancer cell death. does that mean that we are looking at a good outcome for peter, potentially, at the moment? yes, early efficacy has proven to be very promising for him. and we will need to follow him up long—term. histosonics is working on an updated version

of its machine to sell to hospitals once they've secured regulatory approval. we've developed the platform to be adaptable to almost any part of the body. what we are doing in the liver might be the most challenging. it's deep, it moves and those are potential limitations of what were doing, but we've overcome those and we feel that everything we do gets easier. there are also early trials, separate from histosonics, investigating whether histotripsy can work on other parts of the body. peter's cancer is now stable but he still has other tumours in his body and he is waiting to see whether histotripsy stimulates an immune response before exploring other treatment options. i think no matter what the outcome on immune response is, i think it's going to be pretty dramatically life—changing anyway,

just the removal of that lesion. knowing that that's gone is a huge relief. we're in the midst of an energy crisis. and office buildings are notoriously power—hungry beasts. plus, in the post—covid world, there's often fewer people actually using them. the great thing about smart buildings is they can have energy efficiency built—in from the ground up. literally. but how about all of those existing buildings, the ones that are climate—controlled but not climate—minded ? we've come to atomico house in london, an office building which has been given a new greener lease of life. this building has had an official net zero refurbishment and all of the furniture is either sustainably sourced, vintage or recycled. this building's evolution and ethos has been born out

of different kind of success. yeah, and this is probably a good time to meet a man behind the building, and a whole lot more. niklas zennstrom co—founded skype, and atomico is his tech focused adventure capital firm. focused venture capital firm. and when he is looking for companies to invest in, he is also interested in how they intend to affect the planet. the whole mission of atomico is to support founders, game—changing founders using technology to go out and replace legacy businesses with new ways of doing things. and potentially build great businesses, and by doing that, building sustainable businesses that are, for example, replacing eating meat by lab—produced meat, building electrical aeroplanes or indoor farming. but we also, we are encouraging founders to do that. but we realise also that we need to walk the talk, and we need to lead by example,

by looking after our own house, literally. you founded skype, which is the type of technology that is now allowing people to work from home orfrom anywhere. it might be tempting to think you would be all for closing offices anyway? we created skype because of necessity, that we were remote workers. when we started, we had people in different places and we wanted to be able to communicate. but you know what, there is nothing that beats coming together. and as humans we are not individualistic, we are like crowd people. i am very much for getting together, it doesn't mean you always have to be together, because i wasjust on a video call with some of our colleagues because they are working intensely on a project, and one person said i am at home so i can go deep and focus on something. i believe that you have a combination. you are very passionate about europe being able to compete with silicon valley. how are we doing?

if you would ask the question, say five or seven or ten years ago, you would have probably started with, why is it that europe is failing in tech? the reality is we're doing really well. because there will be a time when we don't talk about the tech sector anymore, because every company, when we talk about sustainability, if you talk about companies that are going to have a long duration, they need to be technology companies. and this isjust about the global movement of entrepreneurship which is happening everywhere, and it is fantastic, it should not be one place beating the other, it should be happening everywhere. you are an entrepreneur, you have met a load of entrepreneurs, what makes a good entrepreneur? it is a good question, and the hardest question to know. the whole team, we are meeting a lot of entrepreneurs, we always ask ourselves, "is this the one?" we don't know, ask us in ten years. you don't know? you don't know, it is impossible. but there are a few things —

they need to have grit, passion, perseverance. and they need to be so passionate about their field, that they want to disrupt or build, so that they really inherently understand it. and they need to be able to articulate their strategy and they need to be a leader so they can get people to follow them. and they need to have a lot of perseverance. because it is not easy. that is it for the shortcut of click for this week. the full—length version of click for this week waiting for you right now on iplayer, of course. we shall be back next week, thanks for watching. bye— bye.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. our headlines today: on remembrance sunday, king charles will lead the service at the cenotaph for the first time as monarch since the death of his mother. he joined other members of the royal family at the festival of remembrance last night to pay tribute to servicemen and women. spending cuts of £35 billion are expected from the chancellor in thursday's autumn statement, along with plans to raise billions in tax. two vintage planes collide and crash at an air show in texas — details of any casualties aren't yet known. after disappointment at the men's rugby league and women's rugby union world cups, can england's cricketers change the mood ? they've won the toss and put pakistan into bat as play gets under way in their g20 final in melbourne.

morning, all. there's quite a lot of low cloud, mist and fog around at the moment. that will gradually lift, thin and break up to some sunny spells coming through. a largely dry day for many and mild for all. all the details coming up shortly. it's sunday, 13th november. our main story: king charles ii! will lead the nation in honouring those who lost their lives at war in his first remembrance sunday service as sovereign. the royal family will lay wreaths at the cenotaph and the uk will fall silent at 11 o'clock this morning as part of the commemorations. daniela relph reports. there is so much that is familiar about remembrance sunday — the rhythm of the day unchanged for decades. but this year, as the final preparations are made, there will be one significant difference. for nearly all of her 70 years on the throne,

queen elizabeth ii was at the cenotaph on remembrance sunday, honouring service and sacrifice. this year, after her death, she will be one of those we remember today. later this morning, for the first time as monarch, the king will lay a wreath here at the cenotaph. it is a new design that will incorporate his racing colours of scarlet, purple and gold — a tradition set by his mother, his grandfather and his great—grandfather. fanfare. last night, the king led the royalfamily, paying tribute to servicemen and women at the festival of remembrance. it began with a tribute to his mother, the queen, and her role as commander—in—chief of the armed forces and patron of the royal british legion. a focus of remembrance this year

will be those killed during the falklands war 40 years ago. their sacrifice was remembered, and today 400 members of the south atlantic medal association will march past the cenotaph. as the service ended, from the ceiling of the royal albert hall, the poppies fell — a reminder of bloodshed and lives lost. as a new king, a new commander—in—chief leads the country in a weekend of remembrance. # happy and glorious. # long to reign over us. # god save the king!# daniela relph, bbc news. you can watch full coverage of the remembrance sunday commemorations on bbc one

what the chancellor will announce when he stands up in the house of commons for the autumn statement on thursday, but none of it is confirmed until it comes out of his mouth. we know as the chancellor and prime minister have been saying at every opportunity for the last few weeks that they will have to take difficult decisions, eye watering decisionsjeremy hunter said, decisions jeremy hunter said, because they decisionsjeremy hunter said, because they believe that the state of the public finances needs to be shored up. the amount of the doubt that the uk has need to be brought down and confidence needs to be restored in the financial markets looking to the uk economy. in terms of tax and spending there will be big decisions taken. a couple of key parts of that that we are pretty sure will happen in terms of income tax, the headline rates of tax that we pay are unlikely to change in the most part. the thresholds will be frozen, that means if people earn more money over time and wages increase, more people end up moving

into the higher tax brackets and paying more tax. for the highest earners it is likely that the highest rate of income tax will be paid out to people earning 125,000 pounds per year. when it comes to the amount of money that government departments have to spend, they are being told to expect no more until 2025 than the current budgets permit. then an increase of 1% when you take into account inflation at the amount that is rising and prices are rising at the moment, that will feel very much like your trim spending cuts year after year. the chancellor said today, describing himself as scrooge, making sure that christmas doesn't have to be cancelled. there are difficult and unpalatable things, just a few days away. unpalatable things, 'ust a few days awa . ., , .., away. nothing is confirmed until it is confirmed. _ away. nothing is confirmed until it is confirmed, as _ away. nothing is confirmed until it is confirmed, as you _ away. nothing is confirmed until it is confirmed, as you say. - away. nothing is confirmed until it is confirmed, as you say. a - away. nothing is confirmed until it is confirmed, as you say. a busy i is confirmed, as you say. a busy week ahead, jonathan.

a busy week ahead, jonathan. more than 40,000 migrants have crossed the channel from france to england in small boats this year, the bbc has calculated. it is the highest number since the figures were first collected in 2018. two years ago there were just over 8,000 arrivals. our reporter simonjones is in dover for us this morning. simon, milder weather has led to more crossings, hasn't it? this story is top of the agenda for many weeks in this country. what progress is being made to manage this situation?— this situation? well, what we are heafina this situation? well, what we are hearin: is this situation? well, what we are hearing is that _ this situation? well, what we are hearing is that a _ this situation? well, what we are hearing is that a new _ this situation? well, what we are hearing is that a new deal - this situation? well, what we are i hearing is that a new deal between britain and france is very close. it could be signed later this week. we are told it will be ambitious. we understand that will involve far more police officers on the beaches in northern france patrolling to try to stop those lunching in the first place. those will be french police officers and britain will be paying

for them. officers and britain will be paying forthem. ultimately, looking at what is going to happen, britain did want british border force boots on beaches over in france, but i think that was a step too far for the french authorities, but we are likely to see increased surveillance and some immigration officers from the uk based over in calais so they can see in real time exactly what is happening. in terms of the crossings, with the weather, it is very calm again today, meaning it will not be calm for the border force, the light within the coastguard who deal with any boots making the journey. coastguard who deal with any boots making thejourney. i coastguard who deal with any boots making the journey. i am hearing already this morning there are a couple of boats on their way. the immigration minister has written today that he wants to reduce the number of asylum seekers in hotels because he believes that is a pull factor, people think they can get across the channel and they will be in a hotel within days or hours. he says he wants to use other forms of

accommodation, perhaps student accommodation, perhaps student accommodation, perhaps student accommodation, perhaps former holiday parks, that he called more functional, but refugee groups say that people coming here to languish in hotels is totally wrong. there is such a backlog in the asylum system overall. the democrats have kept control of the us senate after winning the state of nevada. in a tight race, catherine cortez masto defeated the republican candidate who had been endorsed by donald trump, giving her party the 50 seats it needs to have the majority vote in the chamber. in a tight race, catherine cortez masto defeated the republican candidate who had been endorsed by donald trump, giving her party the 50 seats it needs to have the majority vote in the chamber. the results amount to the best midterm performance for a sitting party in 20 years. i feel good about where we are. i know i'm an cock—eyed optimist, i understand that, but i'm not surprised by the turnout, i'm incredibly pleased by the turnout, and i think it's a reflection on the quality of our candidates and they are all

running on the same programme. in a tight race, catherine cortez masto defeated the republican an investigation has been launched into the mid—air collision of two second world war planes at an air show in texas. a p63 fighter hit a b17 bomber during an event to remember veterans in dallas. it's not been confirmed whether there have been any casualties, but organisers say up to six people were onboard. prayers and thoughts for the crews that were involved today, for the people that saw it, for the family members. obviously, this is a very challenging time for those families. and when i say family, i mean the caf family and our customers that follow us all over the world and enjoy our shows. ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, has said that russian troops destroyed all critical infrastructure in kherson and nearby areas before they withdrew to the east bank of the dnipro river. he said the city was left with no heat, electricity, water or communications. there's also huge concern

about significant damage to a major dam in the area. catherine byaruhanga is in kyiv for us this morning. catherine, there's a huge amount of damage to infrastructure in kherson, isn't there? the ukrainian authorities are trying to assess the situation in kherson following the retreat of the russians from the region. we are also getting a sense of the damage caused as russia was leaving. you mentioned the dam, we understand that this dam, there was an explosion on the dam. this happened on friday and we saw these images of a massive explosion under the cover of darkness. we still don't know how much of the dam has been damaged. it was to collapse, this will cause

massive damage, including kherson. the people in kherson are worried about the most basic things, finding food and medicine. the mayor called the humanitarian condition there are severe. looking forward, this is still a security operation. a curfew has been introduced in kherson and police are setting up checkpoints all over the city because we understand there are still some russian soldiers who stayed behind. they have been removing their military uniforms and putting on civilian clothing. there is a a: 7 kherson, infrastructure situation. in. wrens" but infrastructure situation. in. vheru" but also infrastrutturu situation. in. wrens" but also considerations infrastrutturu situation. in. vheru" but also considerations about how ukraine can keep it secure. catherine, thank you. failings in the energy market have cost £2.7 billion, that's almost £100 per household, according to a group of mps.

the public accounts committee said the industry regulator, 0fgem, had been too late to spot problems before a spike in wholesale energy prices last year, which caused dozens of suppliers to go bust. our business correspondent, mark ashdown, reports. until 2016, the energy market was dominated by the big six suppliers — including british gas and edf. ofgem's efforts to create more competition and cheaper prices led to dozens of smaller firms flooding in. but, within a couple of years, problems started to emerge. and this group of mps says the regulator was too slow to get a grip. it was a balance between how financially resilient they are where something went wrong. and when problems of their financial resilience became apparent in 2018, 0fgem didn't act till 2019, and a regulator needs to be there on the side of a consumer. and, in this case, they really missed that boat. and that, this report says, came at a cost. sincejuly last year, a total of 28 energy suppliers have gone out of business. that's affected around

4 million households. it's being paid for in all our bills to the tune of £2.7 billion, or £94 per household. the report says the energy price cap only gives limited protection to households. since it was first introduced in 2019, the typical bill payer has seen their costs go up by 221%. this committee now fears that wholesale prices could force the current cap of £3,500 for an average household significantly higher. in a statement, 0fgem said the sheer scale and pace of this once—in—a—generation global energy price shock meant supplier failures were seen all over the world. but the supplier of last resort scheme acted as a vital safety net for british consumers, ensuring they continued to receive energy when their supplier failed. the committee of mps is also calling on the government to lay out how it plans to reform the energy market to support households as it moves away from fossil fuels towards more

renewable energy supplies. mark ashdown, bbc news. when we spoke to louise earlier, she promised us some meteorological expertise and a map! it is incredibly difficult, i must quantify! you can see how many showers have been in the area over the last few hours. we should say the reason we are talking about this because the t20 world cup final is going on at the moment. and i said it is going to rain. you would believe that, wouldn't you, looking at this because these are the showers to the west of melbourne. i think that there will

be some significant showers today. whether it will be a wash—out, it is cricket, it is never possible to say it will be a complete wash—out. this is the convergence zone of the winds, they are funnel the showers just to the west of melbourne at the moment. there is the potential they could stay dry, but i think it will be wet and there will be showers. you can take the mickey out of me in an hour! we would never dream of doing that. that is my best guess. it is weather, it is not completely 100% accurate. so, at the moment, they are on the pitch and they want to start and get going, so that is a start, at least. they will certainly get some showers through the day to day that will interrupt things. we need them to

have a result today. let's move to something a bit more simple, but not necessarily straightforward. this is the story at the moment, this is happening in wakefield, fog, some a bit dense. it is starting to lift into misty conditions. this is north lincolnshire just an hour or so ago. gradually we will have an improvement is to go through the day. the areas where we have fog at the minute through central and eastern england, some of it really quite dense. that means visibility less than a hundred metres. allow a bit of extra time if you're going to remembrance sunday services. further north, it is a largely fine day with some cloud around. on the whole it is dry and it will stay like that too much of the day. another mild day. eventually the cloud and fog will burn back to the north sea coast. here it may well linger through the afternoon, i'm afraid, but we will get sun coming through

for many. it will be mild with temperatures between 13 and 18 celsius by the middle part of the afternoon. the wind is a feature, blustery, strong gusts in scotland, and ahead of this rain pushing into northern ireland. it will take all day to get there and it will stay dry during daylight hours. the house between 12 and 18 degrees. another incredibly mild story for this time of year. as we move into the latter stages of sunday, this weather front will start to push into northern ireland, western fringes of wales, down into south—west england and gradually into the western isles, as well. an narrow band with some pretty heavy rain. elsewhere, fog will form, some of it thence in places. where we do have clear skies, it will get down to single figures. for monday, a messy story. some fog, some of it thence. the cloud and will will purchase why

steadily equals —— steadily eastward. it will weaken. a degree orso eastward. it will weaken. a degree or so fresher as we move into monday. these temperatures above where they should be. as we move out of monday into tuesday, we will see a spell of heavier, more persistent rain pushing in from the west and that will continue to track its way eastwards, clear skies following on behind, then a trail of sharp showers to come. from tuesday onwards, the weather getting a bit fresher, back to where we should be for the time of year, and certainly more unsettled. given that big band of rain, it is fair to say there will be plenty here, it is not and may be like melbourne. yes, a lot of heavy rain to come as you go through the week. even when the rain clears, a lot of sharp showers. we will speak to you later to find

out if your forecasting model was right. the latest in melbourne is 29 for no loss for pakistan. the cost—of—living crisis could lead to some foster carers quitting if extra money is not provided to help cover increasing costs. support service �*foster talk�* said some carers were reaching a "crisis point" and has called for urgent action. our social affairs correspondent emma glasby has this report. we started fostering in 2007. so just coming up 16 years. i was brought up in a big family. i seem to have this ability to look after huge numbers of children. that's just what i do, and i love doing it. at their home in scarborough, jacqui and her husband are foster carers as well as bringing up their own children. they take in foster children long term in emergencies, and often look after traumatised children with extra needs. but jacqui's concerned foster care allowances are not covering the rising cost of living.

foster carers are already subsidising these children's lives. and so, yeah, i am worried because, you know, not all foster carers are in a position where they can do that, and we are already so short of foster carers, you've got to worry for the children that are coming into care. where do they go? fostering payments vary. jacqui fosters for north yorkshire county council. for a child aged between five and ten, she gets £195 a week to cover costs. for 11 to 15—year—olds, it's £242. it's to cover food, possibly school meals, clothing, transport to school or family visits, toiletries, pocket money, days out, internet, perhaps a mobile phone. it's also for activities like swimming, football or gymnastics, which jacqui says are vital.

these children often have very low self—esteem. they suffer from anxiety. they need these things probably more than your own children do, because they need outlets that are creative, something that they can find that they're good at. but if you're not in that situation where you have additional income from whatever, those things are just going to have to stop. so the children suffer? so the children suffer, yeah. the government says no foster carer should be out of pocket because of the support they provide, but told us that fostering service providers are responsible for setting their own payment structures, using the national minimum allowance. north yorkshire county council told us that in october, it took the unusual decision of increasing fostering payments for the second time this year because of concerns about rising costs. more than 70% of children in care are in foster placements,

but many older carers are leaving, and it's a struggle to replace them. some foster carers can have jobs, but jacqui looks after extremely vulnerable children, and says working would be impossible. some children are awake all night. some children abscond. we've had to kind of drive to places looking for these children, reporting things to the police, waiting up on phone calls for the child to be returned back to you. if people are already out working 40 hours a week, they don't have space in their lives. it worries me constantly... ..about what's going to happen in the future. after the pandemic, and now the rising cost of living, there are growing demands on the care system. councils must find a way to keep hold of foster carers and recruit new ones. emma glasbey, bbc news. let's speak now to rachel cole from foster talk a service

which provides support to foster carers. first thing to say is that foster carers are a breed of their own, aren't they? 1 carers are a breed of their own, aren't they?— carers are a breed of their own, aren't they? carers are a breed of their own, aren't the ? ., ., , ., aren't they? i would agree, they are su er aren't they? i would agree, they are super heroes _ aren't they? i would agree, they are super heroes in _ aren't they? i would agree, they are super heroes in their _ aren't they? i would agree, they are super heroes in their own _ aren't they? i would agree, they are i super heroes in their own community. they work very hard, tirelessly to support young children and teenagers to make sure they have the right support so they can thrive and flourish in their new home. they are very important in our society. the value of the _ very important in our society. the value of the work they do is not represented in the money that they get. the difficulty that piece highlighted is that it is different where you are in the country. is there any standardised way to acknowledge the rising cost of living in these payments? that acknowledge the rising cost of living in these payments? at the moment, living in these payments? at the moment. this — living in these payments? at the moment, this is _ living in these payments? at the moment, this is the _ living in these payments? at the moment, this is the problem - living in these payments? at the

moment, this is the problem we j living in these payments? at the - moment, this is the problem we are saying, that foster carers across the country are receiving different payments and it is very difficult for them. we conducted a survey of 4,000 foster carers and will be found, 92% felt 92% worse off than last year, which is quite concerning, 18% are currently in debt because of these rises. if concerning, 18% are currently in debt because of these rises. if you see more carers _ debt because of these rises. if you see more carers leaving _ debt because of these rises. if you see more carers leaving the - debt because of these rises. if you see more carers leaving the system, what kind of problems that cause? don't know what the gap is in foster carers across the country at the moment?— carers across the country at the moment? . . ., ., . moment? we are already at a deficit. we are not recruiting _ moment? we are already at a deficit. we are not recruiting enough - moment? we are already at a deficit. we are not recruiting enough fosteri we are not recruiting enough foster carers and we are seeing more and more foster carers leaving the sector, so the retention rates are good. as your reporter said earlier, foster carers are an ageing community, most of them are over 50, over 60. we are going to say 25,000 foster deficit in the next years

unless we do something about it. i unless we do something about it. i wasjust going to unless we do something about it. i was just going to say, unless we do something about it. i wasjust going to say, none of this was just going to say, none of this is going to particularly encourage people who are thinking about going into foster care. are there benefits that you can talk about that would encourage people to even consider it as an option for them and their families? , ., , families? yes, i would definitely sa foster families? yes, i would definitely say foster care _ families? yes, i would definitely say foster care is _ families? yes, i would definitely say foster care is very _ families? yes, i would definitely| say foster care is very rewarding. you're giving a child at home and watching them flourish. you're giving them new life experiences. we wouldn't want to deter people from this, but we just want them to know the realities. what we are really asking for is for the government to have an open discussion and ensure that the alliances that foster carers are getting are in line with the cost of living increases. we are seeing some local authorities, different agencies increasing the fees, but like you said and we are saying in a report, there isjust not enough consistency throughout the country. if we want things to

change, we want recruitment to increase, we have to ensure that foster carers have the right amount of money to ensure they can do activities with children, they can ensure that they can put on the heating and feed them, because we are seeing 3% of the people that responded to our survey say they now go to foodbanks and that is very worrying. go to foodbanks and that is very wor in. :, ~ go to foodbanks and that is very wor inc. ., ,, i. go to foodbanks and that is very wor inc. . ~ i. ., go to foodbanks and that is very war in, ., ~' y:, :, :, go to foodbanks and that is very wor inc. :, ~' ., ., , go to foodbanks and that is very wor inc. :, ., ., , : worrying. thank you for to us. we are seeing — worrying. thank you for to us. we are seeing so _ worrying. thank you for to us. we are seeing so many _ worrying. thank you for to us. we are seeing so many people - worrying. thank you for to us. we are seeing so many people are . are seeing so many people are thinking about getting alternative jobs, second or third job is to get over this cost of living crisis, which is not an option for the foster carers who don't have the time to work as well as care for the children. quick update on the cricket, england have taken a wicket in the t20 world cup final. pakistan, who are battling, 34—1, i'm not sure how many overs that is after. we will get a more specific update later on. i think this

pakistan side will be hard to break down. when russell boyce was a student he spent his time at one of his favourite pubs taking pictures of the locals. decades later he's returned to his former haunt to recapture the "friendly old boys" who frequented the bar in the same position they were photographed in back in 1983. simon spark has this report. in this pub in hull, there are photographs of photographs, showing life in the beginning of the 19805 and present day combined. they have been reigniting memories in a pub already filled with nostalgia. all the action used to go on in the back room, which you can't get to now. but this pub is iconic. without a shadow of a doubt. there is not a day i don't learn

anything, another story, another piece of history. it is fantastic, the things that people have got to tell you. there's the pillar of the window, so that picture was taken here, i and then you can see the line of the ban _ photographer russell boyce returned to hull after almost 40 years to retake the images. the thing is, i came here every single day, shooting pictures, until eventually everyone ignored me, i became a piece of furniture, and that's where you can get in close, you can get pictures, you can walk around people, theyjust go, "oh, there he is," theyjust ignore me. i took a series of pictures and i thought it would be nice to try to connect the pictures from the 19805 to now, and the figures were then coming back from then to today to have another pint. these guys are doing their...watching the horse racing. i think that's a lovely picture. the intensity of watching the telly, the racing. this is one of my favourite pictures because you can see eddie walking down the length of what is reputedly one of the longest bars in many places, and you can see all the drinkers just leaning on the bar, waiting. the fruit machine was here and you see the girls playing that, so i think it really works.

let's do another one. they're a snapshot of how everything and nothing changes all at the same time. what hasn't changed is the warmth of the people accepting what i'm doing, and it's wonderful. beautiful, stuff that has changed and stuff that hasn't. didn't mention the price £1, that will change. —— the price of a pipe, that will have changed. we're going to share a lovely story with you now about an act of kindness that has been remembered for almost 80 years — in 1944 normandy, veteran reg pye gave a piece of bread and jam to a stranger whilst fighting in france. he's kept a photograph of the girl he helped in his wallet ever since but never expected to see her again — fortunately, luck was on his side. lucy vladev reports. we landed upon the beach,

because it was late getting there. we broke down on the way up, it was american landing craft, you can see that. and the corvettes were circling us. some memories neverfade. for reg, both the harshness and humour he found it during the war still burn brightly. myself, an american airborne boy, rushed for a hole in the ground because of the bombing, and we spent the night with a rabbit, a nanny goat and a pig. a normandy veteran, he was building bridges and taking up mines, which landed him in a village in northern france in 1944. one afternoon, with rations of pilchards and jam on bread in hand, he suddenly noticed a girl. she was staring at me and i thought, what's she staring at? i looked down and it was the bread. so i offered her the bread, i don't

remember her taking the bread, but i remember her running across the village square and going into the church. i never saw her after that. but then in the morning we were pulling away, carry on wherever we were going, but in my cab i had a quantity of milk, don't know how much, i don't even remember if i drank it or not, but in amongst that was a photograph. and reg kept that photo for nearly 80 years, never telling anyone his story until now. so this armistice day, they were finally reunited. with bread and jam, of course. jam sandwich. they laugh. it was a chance to rekindle a connection started decades ago. and despite the hard times for reg, who turns 99 today, humour always wins out.

so she is going to dump her boyfriend in the home now and she is going to marry reg. she is going to marry you? laughter. that is what the interpreters said, she is going to marry you, she is going to dump her boyfriend. there we are. a new chapter, perhaps, in an extraordinary life. beautiful. lovely story. we have heard some lovely stories this week, was reg's story, we heard from john yesterday, lovely. do you or someone you know have a story to share about world war ii? ahead of its 80th anniversary in 2025, the bbc is trying to gather as many first—hand accounts from surviving veterans as possible, to preserve them for future generations. you can contact us here at www.bbc.co.uk/wewerethere or visit the bbc news website and search "we were there".

plenty of stories already on there. as the nation remembers the lives lost because of war, our royal correspondent sarah campbell is at horse guards parade in whitehall, ahead of this morning's commemorations. it is getting busier there this morning as people get ready for those celebrations, commemorations. indeed, morning, istepped those celebrations, commemorations. indeed, morning, i stepped away from the cenotaph in horse guards and this is where the 10,000 or so veterans gather together to line up because they will take part in a march past after the cenotaph service. you can speak to anyone here and they will have the most amazing stories. i am pleased to say

a tommy makinson penalty to drew england level — 26 points all, which sent the match into golden point extra time. but after mistakes from england, that golden point came from the boot of steven crichton, sending samoa into the final at their hosts' expense. i was never happy in that game, i thought— i was never happy in that game, i thought we — i was never happy in that game, i thought we were below our standards, i am looking at what i did, what we did in— i am looking at what i did, what we did in training, some soul—searching going _ did in training, some soul—searching going on— did in training, some soul—searching going on from the staff. but the players' — going on from the staff. but the players' effort in this tournament has been — players' effort in this tournament has been great. i doubt doubt their efforts _ has been great. i doubt doubt their efforts. just not good enough today. —— | efforts. just not good enough today. -- i don't _ efforts. just not good enough today. —— i don't doubt. it's england—wales in the semifinals of the rugby league wheelchair world cup this afternoon. that's at 2.30. meanwhile in rugby union, england head into next week's match against new zealand in the autumn nations full of confidence.

they beat japan 52 points to 13 in a dominant performance. afterwards, england head coach eddiejones was full of praise for his side and said they have what it takes to beat the all blacks. new zealand face scotland later today. wales recovered from a heavy defeat against new zealand to beat argentina 20—13 in the second game of the series. it was a much—needed win for wales, who go on to host georgia and australia in their remaining november fixtures. ireland survived an early scare from fiji to win 35—17 in dublin. exceeded expectations by reaching the semifinals of the competition for the first time since 1981. but their surprise run came to an end after a tense deciding doubles match against australia in glasgow.

set his new film here, the old oak, and, as the name suggests, much of the action takes place in a boozerjust down the road. ok, here we go then. andy? ok, were turning over. that worked really well. that worked very well. welcome back to the north east. you've come back for a third film. i know, i can't think why! ken loach is the master of social realism cinema. he set his previous two films on tyneside, so what has made him return to the region for what may be his last full—length feature? it's a good place, and we'd done two films that ended in a certain way and we just felt we needed to do one that had some optimism, as well as showing all the difficulties. his latest film is about two communities coming together — the locals from a durham pit village and refugees from war—torn syria.

when the pits shut, nothing replaced them, communities were destroyed and the people who come from a war, well, you can imagine the traumas they've had, so the two communities meeting each other and finding a way to survive, if it works, should give us something. 0h! what are you doing? well, i'll give you three guesses. and then board it there. very good. my name's dave turner... loud crash. on cue! what was that? i'm not sure, actually. 0h, it'sjust there's a lighting guy up on top of the fridge. dave is a retired firefighter and he's been cast in the lead role as tj, who owns the old oak. it is terrifying, there's no other word to describe it, but because it's ken loach

and because the people around him give you, i'm not going to say the confidence, but they make you believe that you can do it and that's the only reason why i'm here. we are going to change that camera position and then come up there, i think. today they're filming quite a complicated scene that involves most of the cast and in this scene two communities, the locals and the syrians, come together and feast in what is the only public space left in the town. given the circumstances of these two traumatised communities, this becomes a place of... it's a contested territory, so i suppose it all comes to fruition here in the old oak, where a group of them in the community have said, come and eat with us, very much inspired by what happened during the miners' strike as the key idea of, if people eat together, they stick together. and it's notjust the food that's authentic, so are the extras. sisters rabbia, hasna and saba

came here as refugees. well, it's the real story of most of the syrian . families, to be honest. so it is the story of how. we came to here and how we are leaving here, as well. how we faced some good people in the area where we live - in durham and bad people. that works really well. ken loach will be 87 by the time this film is released, but it's very hard to imagine him stopping. is this going to be your last film? who knows? but i can't imagine another one at the moment. you always said that though, ken? yeah, i know, but there comes a time when father time takes his toll, you know? but anyway, we'll see. well, good luck with the rest of the film. thank you so much. and see you later. thank you. go and have your sandwich! 0k. here's louise with a look

at this morning's weather. lots of people aren't about today for remembrance sunday services. yeah, i suspect this graveyard and church will become very busy over the next few hours but the fog may linger across parts of lincolnshire and east yorkshire. some has been quite dense in places so far, and this is where we see the dense fog across central and eastern england. to the west, more cloud but largely dry and bright start, not too bad in scotland. certainly drier than it has been across the bar north—west. through the afternoon, most of this fog will tend to lift into low cloud, breaking up and allowing for sunshine. southerly flow once again, incredibly mild. strongest wind through scotland and ahead of this band of rain gradually moving into

northern ireland, that will take its time. again look at the temperatures, way above where they should be for this time of year. my old remembrance sunday 11—18 c the high, but rain pushes into northern ireland after dark, a narrow band of rain gradually sweeping steady east, i have met we will see dense fog forming, first thing tomorrow in central and eastern england, bear that in mind, to the west we will see rain sweeping steadily eastwards through the day on monday. rugby league legend kevin sinfield has started his toughest challenge yet, running seven ultra marathons in seven days. just over an hour ago, he set off on the third and final part of his epic mission to raise awareness and funds for those impacted by motor neurone disease, inspired by his former team—mate rob burrow. he started at murrayfield in edinburgh, and is making his way south into england, passing through chester—le—street,

hello, in a few days the chancellor will tell us what he'll tax and spend. his choices that will affect us all. he's here to explain this morning. first was the emergency. what's next for the economy, with recession on the way? it's not going to be easy. there are going to be some very difficult choices. i've used the word eye watering before, and that's the truth. we can't carry on like this. with growth lower than our competitors. the government can ill afford more political embarrassments. sir gavin williamson has posted a letter. he is resigning from government. rather than take on the bullies, he lines up alongside them and thanks them for their loyalty.

money talks, yet money's tight. but being trusted on the economy is top of this pair's list.
