good morning and welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today... the world is facing "crisis after crisis". that's the warning as world leaders gather for the 620 summit in indonesia. at the summit, prime minister rishi sunak addressed the russian foreign minister, condemning the war in ukraine. are your wages keeping up with the ever—rising cost of living? as bills rise, latest figures are expected to show the value of our pay dropping again. i'll be looking at the impact that could have on you. former american first lady michelle obama tells bbc breakfast how she felt
6:01 am
when donald trump replaced her husband in the white house. it still hurts. but that point in time when you have to ask yourself, was it worth it? england and wales fly out to qatar for the world cup later today. england and wales begin their campaigns in six days' time with the welsh competing at their first world cup since 1958. it's day three for super kev sinfield on his week—long ultra marathon challenge in aid of mnd charities. kevin is likely to get wet, as we all are, as we have a band of rain moving from west to east accompanied by strong winds and followed by sunshine and heavy showers. i will have all the details later in the programme. it's tuesday the 15th november. world leaders have gathered in bali for the first day of the 620 summit —
6:02 am
with a warning that the world is facing "crisis upon crisis". the prime minister rishi sunak confronted russian representatives during the first session this morning, and said russia must "get out of ukraine and end this barbaric war". 0ur political editor chris mason reports. a long haul to meet fellow leaders of the world's largest economies. economies in trouble. recovering from the pandemic and confronting the consequences of the war in ukraine. rishi sunak was formally welcomed here this morning and headed for the opening session, a first chance for a british prime minister to condemn the war to a senior russian minister in the same room. it was thought russian president vladimir putin may come here. in the end, he sent his foreign minister sergei lavrov, instead. as well as the gatherings of all of the leaders in one room, there's also the chance for rishi sunak to meet leaders one—on—one,
6:03 am
often for the first time, the likes of president biden and also the prime ministers of india and australia among them and to make an argument that the economic problems we face are faced by others as well, but it is now rishi sunak�*s responsibility to try and sort out the economic problems back home and he'll to try to do that in this autumn statement budget in all but name on thursday. away from the palm trees, the lily pads and, yes, the rain of this corner of southeast asia, the reality of tax rises and spending cuts, just days away, and trying to convince people a downpour of what many will see is bad news is worth it. chris mason, bbc news, in bali. we're joined now by our chief asia presenter, karishma vaswani, who is in bali for us this morning. karishma — it's the first day of the summit. what else will be on the agenda?
6:04 am
no more rain for now, sally, but there has been a lot taking place at there has been a lot taking place at the 620's summit today. it has kicked off with a discussion and reading about food security, top of the line for so many countries here, particularly when you put this global meeting against the backdrop of that war in ukraine. we also heard from president zelensky of ukraine. he addressed delegates and leaders via video link, talking, he said, to the 619, not the 620, making a direct reference to exclude russia from this conversation. he repeated the sorts of things we have heard before that the destructive war in ukraine must end and he said that thousands will die if it doesn't. we heard similar comments from the host of the 620's summit, the indonesian president, who also talked about the fact that the war must end, when he opened the 620's summit earlier today. one of the key
6:05 am
concerns of course is what kind of consensus this group of the top economies of the world will be able to come to when it comes to issues like ukraine, because of course there are nations like the uk for instance you are corralling support to try to get that condemnation and a unified voice, the us as well but other countries, who have depended on russia for some of their energy supplies, china, india, indonesia for instance, are likely do not want to be as strong when it comes to that language so it'll be interesting to see what comes out of this summit over the course of the next couple of days.— next couple of days. karishma vaswani, _ next couple of days. karishma vaswani, thank _ next couple of days. karishma vaswani, thank you. - as we've just been hearing the president of ukraine has addressed the summit via video link, calling for a return to peace in his country. yesterday volodymyr zelensky paid a surprise visit to kherson, only days after russian troops withdrew from the city. 0ur correspondent, catherine byaru hanga is in kyiv for us this morning.
6:06 am
what kind of reception did president zelensky get when he reached 6arcon? it was a significant visit from president zelensky du kherson, especially as the 620's summit kicks off in indonesia. when he got there the city was guarded by armed soldiers but he made a short tour around the city. he thanked soldiers who had helped to recapture kherson, and waved at the crowds. he spoke of it is a great day and said ukraine will keep on pushing russian forces out of any occupied territory. but this is still a difficult moment for ukraine. the people in kherson live without water, live without food, basic medicines, the authorities you have to try and help the people there, bringing in humanitarian assistance. it is going to be very difficult for ukraine to ignore international calls for negotiations. today president zelensky is saying that this is the
6:07 am
time to end that rush—hour's aggression and that russia needed to show any kind of action is to show that they really did want peace. catherine, thank you for that. figures out later this morning will show how wages compare to the cost of living. nina's here with us. nina, what are we expecting? we will be looking at the numbers between july and september, we will be looking at the numbers betweenjuly and september, the labour market, how many people were working, where, and crucially where their wages are at. the last figures we had showed wages were rising, about 5.5%. in normal times that would be pretty decent for households but we keep coming back to inflation, the rate at which prices are rising, food, fuel, energy, all going through the roof, putting inflation overall at 10.1% which is a a0 year high. five times the bank of england target a few %. in real terms that means how far your money is going in real life, so
6:08 am
despite those pay rises, we were on average over that period 3% worse off. what we are seeing is real terms pay, excluding bonuses, dropping faster than at any point records began. and this is really interesting. the size of that gap depends on who you are and where you work. so, if you work in the public sector, you would have had a 2.2% pay rise on average. in the private sector that is around 6%. it will be very different philosophy will depend on where you work. you will see just after seven o'clock if that is a pattern that is continuing, and it comes in a big week as we await the chancellor's announcement on thursday. the backdrop to the big autumn statement, thank you very much indeed, nina. the union for senior civil servants is urging the prime minister to reform the ministerial complaints system — following allegations of bullying by ministers. it's after claims that the justice secretary, dominic raab, previously mistreated his staff and comes in the wake of 6avin williamson's resignation
6:09 am
last week over accusations about his behaviour. 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now. nick, does rishi sunak have a handle on this? the have a handle on this? thing that will make numbe pretty the thing that will make number ten pretty nervous is that these accusations against different ministers keep coming. as we heard, the most recent have been against the most recent have been against the deputy prime minister dominic raab. the latest reports over the last 2a hours, that he used what has been called abrasive behaviour in the past, bloomberg said that was reported to the top civil servant in the country, the top civil servant in the foreign office who dominic raab used to work with has suggested it is plausible that some of the bullying behaviour has been alleged could have been through. dominic raab�*s spokesperson says that he has always been professional, he has always been professional, he has always had good working relationships and i have never been any formal complaints against him, and rishi sunak on the plane over to
6:10 am
bali was asked about this by reporters and again said he didn't recognise any of this, he had never heard of any official complaints against dominic raab, but the unions that represent civil servants are waving a red flag and seeing one of the reasons may well be that the complaints system isn't very good at all. they are worried that people are put off by how complicated it is, how it is left basically to the prime minister to decide when ministers should or shouldn't be investigated, so the union, who looks after senior civil servants, the fda, say there has to be a reform of the system to make sure that complaints can be dealt with at the time. like an actor was a suggestion this morning that... there's also suggestions council tax could be going up — what do we know about this? it is possible that that happens,
6:11 am
certainly in england. 0ne it is possible that that happens, certainly in england. one of the things the treasury has been looking at is allowing councils to put up council tax by a bit more. at the moment there is a limit, you can only put it up by 3% without a referendum of everybody in the area. my referendum of everybody in the area. my understanding is that the treasury has for the last few days been exploring ways to increase that level, so that councils can raise a bit more cash without a referendum. we don't know exactly what that level will be. there are some suggestions in the mail this morning and the daily telegraph that it could be around 5% and the work tends to happen in these big budget weeks is that the idea is discussed in the treasury, some of the details sometimes leak out and we then find out for sure on thursday. i think there is a decent chance that by the end of the week we will be talking about the possibility of council tax going up, and, given that other taxes are going to go up as well, it all means that the squeeze on
6:12 am
household incomes could be more severe. w' household incomes could be more severe. . ~' household incomes could be more severe. . ~ y household incomes could be more severe. ., ~ , . severe. nick, thank you very much indeed. the health secretary, steve barclay, will hold talks with union leaders today, amid the growing prospect of further strikes by nhs workers. the royal college of nursing announced last week that many of its members had voted to walk out in a dispute over pay and staff shortages. 0ther unions are carrying out ballots. it's understood today's meeting will be focused on workforce issues in england. there are just days to go before the start of the world cup in qatar, but the build—up to the event has been blighted by safety concerns. now, a bbc investigation has uncovered evidence that migrants working on infrastructure projects in the final months before the tournament have died or suffered abuse, despite assurances from the qatari government that the situation would improve. 0ur south asia correspondent rajini vaidyanathan sent this report. the district of dhanusha is in nepal's south—east, a remote and rural landscape.
6:13 am
here, almost everyone relies on agriculture to make a living. in the years since the world cup was awarded to qatar, hundreds of thousands of young men have left this district to find work there. anil�*s uncle was one of those who went. but he recently died in a workplace accident in qatar. translation: many nepalese go to qatar as labourers, _ even after studying things like computer science. they are there suffering. my uncle also went there as a labourer. if he had known this could have happened, he would never have gone. bilthu feels the same. four years ago, his son left for a job in qatar, sending whatever he earned back to his family. last month, they received a call from one of his friends in the gulf. sidesh had been killed underground while working
6:14 am
on an infrastructure project, as doha readies itself at the world cup. translation: we got a call from a family friend in qatarj who told us sidesh had died while working. we haven't received any compensation. we just got the dead body and nothing else. we contacted the company sidesh worked for but they didn't respond. it is notjust from here in nepal. across south asia, hundreds of thousands of people have left for work in qatar. world cup infrastructure projects have created many more jobs for them to go to, but have also led to more stories of poor working conditions and lax safety measures. qatar's government says its efforts have led to significant improvements in standards and that it remains committed to the health, safety and dignity of everyone working on its projects. sadish worked in qatar in 2016 on a construction project
6:15 am
linked to the world cup, but within weeks, he was badly injured in a workplace accident. now he is unable to walk without a stick. he says he is yet to receive a single penny in compensation, but was concerned about safety from day one. translation: we had to go up and down in the man lift. - i feared i would fall down while working at such great heights, or even die. the project sadish was working on told us they can't comment on individual cases, but that any incident that happens on their site is fully investigated. but for many in south asia, who left for qatar from these areas, the opportunities the run—up to the world cup offered turned into tragedy instead of triumph. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, dhanusha, nepal. edinburgh's war memorial
6:16 am
was set on fire yesterday — less than 2a hours after remembrance sunday services were held. several wreaths which were laid in the royal mile were completely burned and the city's stone of remembrance was also damaged. edinburgh's lord provost robert aldridge said the act of vandalism was "disgusting and disrespectful". shocking pictures from edinburgh. we do have some good news — a happy tail! a missing dog has handed herself into a police station after getting lost out on a walk. rosie the border collie became separated from her owner after being spooked by a firework. cctv camera captured the moment she walked through the automatic doors at loughborough police station.
6:17 am
rosie has since been reunited with her family. lovely to see her home. that is great! a quite autumn this morning. carol has already mentioned it. kevin sinfield out on his run. they are all going to get wet today, are all going get wet today? yes. are all going to get wet today, are all going get wet today?— all going get wet today? yes, we are, i all going get wet today? yes, we are. i hepe _ all going get wet today? yes, we are, i hope that _ all going get wet today? yes, we are, i hope that you _ all going get wet today? yes, we are, i hope that you have - all going get wet today? yes, we | are, i hope that you have brought some waterproofs with you. in northern ireland it is brightening up northern ireland it is brightening up because the rain has gone through what we have heavy rain moving from west to east accompanied by strong, gusty winds. some eastern area starting off dry and bright, but here is the band of rain continuing to edge north and east, heavier across south—west england and into the midlands and pushing northwards,
6:18 am
turning heavy later on across aberdeenshire, perth and kinross. behind it we see a return to sunshine and blustery showers. some of those could be heavy and potentially thundery. these are the strengths of the gusts of wind so gusty today, noticeably inland and through the english channel and in shetland, as much is 60 mph. temperatures, between i! and shetland, as much is 60 mph. temperatures, between 11 and 13, so closer to where we should be at this time of year. this evening and overnight that rain pushes steadily towards the north—east of scotland. here, too, windy once again and behind that a lot of showers some of those thundery, in the south—west, and a cooler night than we had last night. as we head into tomorrow, still windy across the far north—west with gusts about 70 mph in shetland, sunshine and showers and later, more rain and strong winds coming across the south—west,
6:19 am
jon and sal, it is all changing. i don't think i will be going running or walking anywhere today! the whole nation is saying, where is my brolly?! as donald trump is expected to make an announcement about the 202a presidential election, former first lady michelle obama has spoken out about how his previous victory "still hurts". in an exclusive interview with bbc breakfast, she's been speaking to naga about her husband's time in office, and what happened next. let's take a look. and it still hurts. but, that's that point in time where you have to ask yourself was it worth it, did we make a dent, did it matter? and when i'm in my darkest moment, my most irrational place i could say well maybe not, maybe we were not good enough but then, i look around and i, you know, when there is more
6:20 am
clarity, when i'm able to unpack those feelings and think and think more rationally, i think, well, my god, as i said earlier today, there is a whole world of young people who are thinking differently about themselves because of the work that we'd done, and that's where, you cannot allow the great to be the enemy of the good, you know? did everything get fixed in the eight years that we were there? absolutely not. that's not how change happens. but we laid a marker in the sand. we pushed the wheel forward a bit. progress isn't about a steady climb upwards, there's ups and downs and stagnation. that's the nature of change. that is a bbc breakfast exclusive. later in the programme we will have the full interview between michelle
6:21 am
obama and naga, it is fantastic. michelle 0bama's book the light we carry is out today. the full interview with naga and michelle obama is available now on bbc iplayer. and michelle obama is available let's take a look at today's papers. and michelle obama is available many of the front pages include reports about potential announcements in thursday's autumn statement. the times says the prime minister will prioritise support for the poorest by boosting the living wage from £9.50 an hour to about £10.a0 an hour. there are lots of numbers in the papers this week. average council tax bills are expected to exceed £2,000 a year for the first time, the daily telegraph reports. it says plans by the chancellor to let councils raise the levy by 5%
6:22 am
would mean households in a typical band d property face paying up to £100 extra. the metro pictures ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky during a visit to the recently liberated city of kherson, which had been under russian occupation for eight months. mr zelensky says this signals "the beginning of the end of the war". and one of the most watched videos on bbc news online still this morning featured on breakfast yesterday is a—day—in—the—life of single dad samuel, who lives in a one—bedroom flat in bristol with his two young sons. lots of you have been in touch and we've passed on all your messages and best wishes to samuel — we'll keep checking in with him and let you know how he's getting on. we will be going back to check on them. let's stay with that theme about the cost of living. all eyes are on the autumn statement on thursday and how the government will try and balance the books. there are fears that some of the savings could come from the £120 billion spent
6:23 am
on benefit payments every year. millions of disabled people rely on this income to help pay for the extra costs of having a disability. ruth clegg reports. all right, isabel? are you going to pick another flower? which one do you want, this one? this may not look like a family on the brink, but they survive on benefits and help from family and friends. if we didn't have that, or it was reduced, god forbid, in any way, we would lose the house. keep pushing! we don't get any support for housing costs or anything like that, so,... i can't imagine what it would be like to not have that and, in fact, i don't really like to think too much about what it would and wouldn't be like to have that because it's too difficult to picture in my head. elizabeth's life revolves around isabel's care.
6:24 am
knees together! she's funny, she's happy, she always wakes up with a smile on her face. yep, pay attention. in your wheelchair, please. isabel has learning difficulties and epilepsy. and such complex conditions bring many extra costs. that's expensive, that's about £6,000, but for me, it's more about the accumulation of stuff. like, as her mobility�*s deteriorated, or her needs have changed, you slowly add things on and it's not like you canjust go, well, if we cut back on that... because, like you say, isabel has to have that. yeah, yeah. and the wheelchair, this is going to be my next expense, i need to get a quote for another one of these but it is... it is ten years old. and also, she is spending more time in it. she doesn't have a diagnosis, so i don't know what's going to happen next. that's really hard. i'm almost reacting to situations rather than anticipating
6:25 am
what's going to happen. more than 5 million people claim disability benefits. and that support can be crucial because, while disabled people make up just over 20% of the population, they account for more than a0% of the poorest households. there can be no more cuts. - there can be no more austerity. because that will simply lead to loss of life. - people have changed _ what they are eating, they have reduced what they are eating, they have reduced transport, i they have reduced medical activity i so, a lot of people do additionall things like therapies, _ extra drugs that they may need, those have all stopped. people cannot afford their health care. . this cafe in wigan provides a lifeline. run by disabled people, it's where problems are shared and support is given. my name is hannah, i am a third year literature and creative writing student.
6:26 am
at 37, hannah has been fulfilling a lifelong ambition to get a degree and become a writer, but right now her independence is at risk. i feel like a prisoner in my own home, because of financial reasons, and i can't afford to do things, but not having the support in place, my biggest fear is that i'm going to go back to the institutional life living that i had just got out of. without her mum, isobel would have to go into residential care. it was either my children or myjob and that's not a choice, is it? there was no choice. this was not going to be my career path. it's not my fault. it's not isabel's fault, it's the situation that we are in. what's that? camera! the government says disabled people have received a £150 cost of living payment as part of a wider package
6:27 am
of support but, with what could be the biggest financial squeeze for a generation, and with many struggling to make ends meet, disabled people just want to make sure they get their voices heard, and listen to, before it's too late. ruth clegg, bbc news, greater manchester. this is something we will continue to look at the head of the autumn statement coming on thursday. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill. a new study has found drugs, social media usage and missed mental health appointments are all factors driving the capital's homicide rates. the violence reduction unit analysed police data to better understand the cases of murder. it also looked at where help could be targeted to prevent incidents in the future. last year, there were
6:28 am
a record number of teenage killings in the capital, with each death costing the met and criminaljustice system an estimated £800,000, according to the report. a group of older londoners are calling for an end to travel restrictions which mean they can't use their free transport passes before 9am. the perk was removed during lockdown, and this morning, the group will head to city hall hoping to convince the mayor to re—instate the benefit. a final decision on the passes will be made by the mayor before the end of the year. new data suggests london has lost its position as europe's most important stock market. the business media group bloomberg says france has taken the top spot. a weak pound, fears of a recession and a surge in the sale of french luxury goods is thought to be behind the shift. let's take a look how the tube is running this morning — and the piccadilly line is part suspended between rayners lanes and uxbridge because of leaves on the line.
6:29 am
now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. it's looking really rather unsettled weather wise across the capital as we head through the rest of the week. wet and windy at times. and temperatures will be returning back down to the seasonal average, too. so feeling a lot cooler than it was over the course of the weekend. this morning, it is a dry early start out towards eastern areas but the cloud is thickening and that southerly wind will start to pick up. it is going to be a very blustery day with strong, gusty winds, particularly through the afternoon, as this heavy rain sweeps eastwards. we will see some heavy downpours for a time. that system clearing largely as we head through to the end of the day, out towards western home counties. top temperatures around 12 celsius, so already coming down. 0vernight tonight, some clear spells around at first and we will start to see some showers follow on behind that weather front. it is still going to be quite windy. temperatures dropping back to single figures. on wednesday, another deep area of low pressure is going to give us very blustery winds and some heavy
6:30 am
showers at times, especially through the afternoon. just before we go, on this evening's programme we'll be talking about the polio vaccine after an extra jab has been offered to children in the capital aged between one and nine, after the virus was found in the sewage system. would you like to know more about how it works? or perhaps why it's needed? ping us an email with your question or comment and we'll put it to an expert at 6.30. email us at hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk. that's it from me, but there's much more on our website and get regular updates throughout the morning on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. coming up on breakfast this morning. two down, five to go.
6:31 am
we'll catch up with rugby league's kevin sinfield as he sets off on his third ultra—marathon, inspired by rob burrow, to raise money for motor neurone disease. i had to think about this story i wanted them to tell about ourfamily and i didn't want to be at the core of it and have them say, "my father could have been president of the united states but we didn't do it because my mother was afraid." former first lady michelle obama talks about feeling the fear, but doing it anyway in an exclusive interview with bbc breakfast. and maradona's infamous "hand of god" goal has gone down in footballing history. we'll hear how the ball used to score it is going under the hammer this week.
6:32 am
they are talking millions, aren't they? a lot of money, 3 million pounds. we are nowjust a couple of days away from finding out the chancellor's plans for the economy in the autumn statement. and it comes at a time when most households are seeing the value of their pay reduce compared to how quickly prices are rising. nina's here to explain. we are all noticing it, aren't we? it won't be news to anyone that their pay it won't be news to anyone that their pay is it won't be news to anyone that their pay is not it won't be news to anyone that their pay is not keeping it won't be news to anyone that their pay is not keeping pace it won't be news to anyone that their pay is not keeping pace with inflation, it is always nice to get a pay rise but where inflation is where it's at, it is not going that far. if you've secured that long—awaited pay rise, but aren't feeling better off you are not alone. here's why. inflation — the rate at which prices rise — is currently at a a0—year high of 10.1%. life is basically costing 10% more than it did a year ago. that means that real terms pay — despite salaries going up — is dropping. last month's figures showed on average we were all 3% worse off — statistically even worse off if you work in the public sector. lots of workers aren't happy.
6:33 am
postal workers, train workers, bus drivers, barristers, civil servants and nurses have all voted to strike. more are expected to follow. and of course, as most households are feeling worse off, that's afffecting how we spend. that's affecting how we spend. zoe conway reports. the 200 degrees coffee company says the success of the business doesn't just rely on the quality of the beans. it also depends on the well—being of its staff. this year, the owners gave their employees a 5% pay rise and they have tried to help them through the cost of living crisis by giving them grants and loans. it has definitely made a difference. it has made me not nervous about the future as much as i could possibly have been earlier this year. i think going into this year, having just dealt with covid, it was really quite a nervous time, knowing, do i dare take meter readings, that kind of thing? but i think having the support from the business and having that pay rise has just sort of lightened
6:34 am
the load a little bit and made it feel a little bit more comfortable. taken the edge off? definitely taken the edge off! absolutely. but with the country forecast to be in recession by the end of the year, the business may not be able to afford to be so generous next year. there's a lot of pressures that we have got to deal with. we all know how utilities have gone up, you know, 200% for us as a business. 0ur green bean costs have gone up 25%. there is wage inflation, as we are talking about now. and then other consumables which have gone up between 10—15%. so that all goes into the mix, and yes, we've got some tricky decisions to make but as a business, you know, we will do our utmost to make sure we give our staff the increases they need. inflation is now more than 10%, and could go even higher by christmas. but pay is not keeping up. this year, private sector pay has risen by 6.2%, while public sector pay has gone up by 2.2%. it is the largest gap between public
6:35 am
and private sector pay on record. public sector pay is starting to fall behind private sector pay, both overall, so public sector pay is now lower than private sector pay for pretty much the first time on record but also, it is growing far more slowly as well. this is a particular problem now, with inflation above 10%. public sector workers are falling further and further behind in real terms pay than their private—sector counterparts. talk me through what you have done here? michael is teaching binary arithmetic. a graduate of teach first, he is now a senior manager of the ark 6lobe academy in south london. half the students are eligible for free school meals, yet their a—level results are some of the very best in the country. i see myself in a lot of those kids. i grew up as a child who was eligible for free school meals, and i try to be the teacher that i wish i'd had in the school, in my school going up. like many teachers,
6:36 am
michael got a 5% pay rise. it is higher than many other public—sector professions, because of what is being called a teacher recruitment crisis. he says several of the teachers he trained with have left the profession. i do have peers, of course, i've got several who have stayed in the profession but i do have people who have thought, you know what, they want to move into the private sector and there is always a common theme as to why. of course, there is a workload issue. however, the pay needs to be enough to make sure they can sustain their lifestyle and make sure they are able to do well. so my message really is to make sure, if you want to see the best teachers coming into schools, then the pay needs to also reflect that. the chancellorjeremy hunt is determined to drive down inflation by holding down wages. whilst he might not be able to control what people at this company are paid, he is expected to limit next year's public—sector pay rises to 2%. zoe conway, bbc news.
6:37 am
a really difficult time for that coffee shop and for the hospitality industry, already severely bruised by lockdowns. some will be closing their doors in the run—up to christmas — traditionally their most profitable period. one in five food and drinks businesses have cut trading hours, or are planning to do so to save money on energy costs. and one in 20 have or are planning to close for two or more days a week. tomorrow we get the latest inflation figures — which will tell us if wages are being stretched even further in real terms. you probably don't need me to tell you that, though. you will be feeling it almost every day. so a big challenge for the chancellor, who's said we'll be paying more tax, despite most of us feeling worse off. we will wait to see what he says on thursday. just a reminder, you are not alone in this. there's more information, support and advice online at the bbc�*s

6:39 am
squad is flying out to qatar today. 6eorge zielenski reports. bags packed and ready to go. 6areth bale arriving in wales ahead of the team's departure to qatar. hi. hiya, bud. how are you doing? a chance to reunite with team—mates and staff as the reality of wales' involvement at their first world cup in 6a years starts to sink in. we normally have kind of that build—up into a major tournament, where, yeah, some of the boys were even playing late last night so, um, yeah, it's a bit of a different feeling. but i think, yeah, evenjust having training this morning, the buzz was there. everybody was just that little bit more sharp, that little bit more ready and, yeah, looking forward to getting on the plane and getting out there, and i think then it will really start to sink in and feel like we are really at a world cup. you 0k? 6areth, how are you, son? 6a years ago, it was the likes of cliffjones and terry medwin leading the line for wales at a world cup.
6:40 am
both met bale to offer words of advice and encouragement. a chance for the team of 2022 to learn a few things from the class of �*58. it was great just to get some stories on how they felt, what they kind of went through, and, yeah, justjoking about some of the... there was a story that they came back and somebody was like, "oh, where have you been, on holiday?" and he was like, "no, i'vejust come back from the world cup." so just how times have changed now, where we are followed in the spotlight, to how it was there. it all gets very real from next monday, though, in that first group game against the usa. 6eorge zielenski, bbc news, in the vale of 6lamorgan. england also fly out later today, and they've had their official team photo. here's 6areth southgate and his 26—man squad looking in rather casual and relaxed mood when they met up at st george's park yesterday. very dapper indeed. i like it, though. i know, it is t-shirt and _ i like it, though. i know, it is t-shirt and no _ i like it, though. i know, it is t-shirt and no ties, - i like it, though. i know, it is t-shirt and no ties, open - i like it, though. i know, it is- t-shirt and no ties, open jackets, t—shirt and no ties, open jackets, it is nice, it looks like a genuine

"the 6lazers don't care about the club" on a sporting front — the latest explosive statement from cristiano ronaldo. he of course made headlines yesterday after telling talktv he felt "betrayed" by manchester united. and he claimed they were trying to force him out. rinaldo has now called united a marketing club focused on money as well as the glaze is, he's taken a swipe at wayne rooney and gary neville, former team—mates, who have criticised him at times, saying they
6:42 am
are doing it to be more famous and they are not his friends. talking of potentially strained friendships, this is bruno fernandes, ronaldo's manchester united team—mate, joining up with him and the rest of the portugal team for the world cup. you can make what you want of this short exchange. what is going on there? we don't know what _ what is going on there? we don't know what was _ what is going on there? we don't know what was said. _ what is going on there? we don't know what was said. this - what is going on there? we don't know what was said. this was - what is going on there? we don't . know what was said. this was posted by portugal on their official social media channels. 50 by portugal on their official social media channels.— media channels. so that was an official video? _ media channels. so that was an official video? it _ media channels. so that was an official video? it was _ media channels. so that was an official video? it was and - media channels. so that was an official video? it was and you i media channels. so that was an l official video? it was and you can ima . ine official video? it was and you can imagine the _ official video? it was and you can imagine the comments _ official video? it was and you can i imagine the comments underneath. official video? it was and you can - imagine the comments underneath. it was much longer than that, but everyone is...— was much longer than that, but everyone is... was much longer than that, but eve one is... . ~ everyone is... can we get some var on that? i _ everyone is... can we get some var on that? i was — everyone is... can we get some var on that? i was going _ everyone is... can we get some var on that? i was going to _ everyone is... can we get some var on that? i was going to say, - everyone is... can we get some var on that? i was going to say, only - on that? i was going to say, only two renlays- _ as for manchester united they say they'll consider their response to what ronaldo's saying after the full facts haves been established, which we assume is once the interview's gone out in full. of course, they are paying the player £500,000 per week. still. but for how player £500,000 perweek. st ii. but for how much longer, that remains to be seen.
6:43 am
england's hopes of reaching a first ever rugby league world cup final were dashed by a 20—6 defeat in york last night. new zealand fought back from falling behind to an early fran 6oldthorp try to score four of their own as the three—time champions powered their way into the final once again. england's challenge ending at the semifinal stage for the fourth consecutive time. what a home world cup it has been for us. we definitely wanted to go that one step further than the semifinals but we are really, really pleased with what we have done in this world cup and we hope that we have inspired the next generation. there are so many young girls in the crowd who, you know, hopefully will take up rugby league as a sport and we can leave that as a legacy after this. and finally, as we've been saying, dozens of premier league players are making their way to qatar this week but of course not all of them, and one notable omission is the league's top—scorer, norway's erling haaland, who has an extended break because his country haven't qualified. he'll get a break —
6:44 am
unless manchester city are tempted to take up this offer from their neighbours ashton united in the seventh tier of english football. they've kindly offered to take haaland on loan, to keep him match fit. iam not i am not sure they need him because they won a—0 last night, not often i check their results but i wanted to have a quick look. that is kind of them, very self and. haifa have a quick look. that is kind of them, very self and.— have a quick look. that is kind of them, very self and. how many would them, very self and. how many would the score them, very self and. how many would they score with _ them, very self and. how many would they score with erling _ them, very self and. how many would they score with erling haaland - them, very self and. how many would they score with erling haaland in - they score with erling haaland in they score with erling haaland in the team? i they score with erling haaland in the team? ~' .,, they score with erling haaland in the team? ~ ., , ., ., the team? i think most teams around the team? i think most teams around the world would _ the team? i think most teams around the world would be _ the team? i think most teams around the world would be happy _ the team? i think most teams around the world would be happy to - the team? i think most teams around the world would be happy to borrow l the world would be happy to borrow him. i'm sure he will be sunning it up him. i'm sure he will be sunning it up on the beach somewhere. thank you. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it might not be entirely pleasant. there is a close.— it might not be entirely pleasant. there is a close. carroll, get your chamois out! _ chamois out! good tip! it is a wet start to the 6ood tip! it is a wet start to the day, good morning everyone, for most of us, heavy rain moving in from the west to the east, accompanied by strong, gusty wind just ahead of it and along it. you can see what we have got. this is the radar picture showing where the rain has been. it
6:45 am
is now clearing northern ireland, and pembrokeshire and also cornwall. it is continuing to push northwards and eastwards as we go through the day. if you are just stepping out, take a brolly or something waterproof because you are going to need it. you can see the rate at 9am across much of scotland, showers ahead of it but brightening up nicely in northern ireland, but you are not immune to a shower. across northern england, through the midlands and north—east england, down towards the south coast, the rain, having cleared away from the channel islands. through the rest of the day, the rain continues to push north and eastwards with some heavy rain getting in across perth and kinross and aberdeenshire. clearing away from the far south of england, wales and northern ireland and also south—west scotland. but it is going to be a windy day. the strongest winds later will be across shetland where we are looking at up to 60 mph but still gusty wind through the english channel and you will notice them inland as well. temperatures ranging from ten in the north to about 12 further south. this evening
6:46 am
and overnight, the rain eventually makes it into the north of scotland. here, too, in shetland once again, a windy night with gusts of potentially 70 mph. behind that band of rain, we are looking at a mixture of rain, we are looking at a mixture of dry conditions and also some showers but some of the showers will be quite heavy and potentially thundery across the far south—west. a cooler night than the one just gone. into tomorrow, we start off with some dry conditions, sunshine and showers, but we do have this next band of rain coming our way and thatis next band of rain coming our way and that is going to be accompanied once again by strong winds, with temperatures roughly where they should be. it keeps coming. carol, thank you. not sure that is what you want to hear if you are about to set off on an ultramarathon today. who else are we talking about but kevin sinfield who will soon be starting the third day of his latest epic challenge. kevin is running seven ultra—marathons in seven days — to raise awareness and funds for those impacted by
6:47 am
motor neurone disease, inspired by his former team—mate and deep friend rob burrow. he started at murrayfield in edinburgh on sunday and throughout this week, he'll pass through chester—le—street, york and bradford — before finishing on the pitch at old trafford at half—time in the men's rugby league world cup final on saturday. the timings of that are going to have to be very precise. this morning, he's setting off on his latest leg from 0tterburn. john maguire is with him. and all the team, and i can see kevin behind you, good morning. 6ood kevin behind you, good morning. good morning. we literally dragged every body out of bed. 6ood good morning. we literally dragged every body out of bed. good morning, 0tterbein. every body out of bed. good morning, otterbein. ,., ., every body out of bed. good morning, otterbein. ., every body out of bed. good morning, otterbein._ that - every body out of bed. good morning, otterbein._ that might| otterbein. good morning! that might be one of the — otterbein. good morning! that might be one of the best _ otterbein. good morning! that might be one of the best so _ otterbein. good morning! that might be one of the best so far— otterbein. good morning! that might be one of the best so far this - otterbein. good morning! that might be one of the best so far this week, | be one of the best so far this week, pretty good, really impressed with that, here he is, super cave, how are you feeling? i that, here he is, super cave, how are you feeling?— are you feeling? i think i had to dra: are you feeling? i think i had to drag these _ are you feeling? i think i had to drag these got _ are you feeling? i think i had to drag these got out _ are you feeling? i think i had to drag these got out of _ are you feeling? i think i had to drag these got out of bed - are you feeling? i think i had to drag these got out of bed as . are you feeling? i think i had to i drag these got out of bed as well. it has been brilliant, they really

6:53 am
is and what a harsh disease it is. kevin, kevin, kevin! 0n the home straight to 0tterburn at long last, and the most enthusiastic crowd of the day has to go to the children from the local primary school. hooray! car horns beep. 280 miles in a week. what would that be like? that's like my mum and me driving to blackpool or something. well, it gives you exercise. but you'd get very exhausted quickly. he needs to eat about three or four times the normal amount of food. what would that be like? well, you wouldn't really be full because you would keep on burning the fat off. and is this a blessing or a curse? after 38 miles, to bejoined by former world record—holder and 0lympian steve cram. you know, absolutely made up to have steve with us. he's a hero of mine and an absolute legend. yeah, i think itjust shows
6:54 am
the bigger message around this, that people are really supportive of the mnd community and i can't thank steve enough. thanks, everybody. really kind of you to come out. i'm a bit embarrassed because i've only run a very short distance with him. you were fast, though, weren't you? you were quick. you picked the place up for me. i might have had you at the end of the street! i know, but as i said, you know, this is one of those things which thankfully, it is the spotlight which it draws on it and as the week goes on, i'm sure he's going to get incredible support along the way. after a long, hard day of ups and downs, kev�*s next destination was yet another extreme location. thank you again, thank you. i'm going to get in the ice bath, all right? applause. how was the ice bath last night? cold! no, it was good. i think we are getting used to them again now. it has been a long time. i are getting used to them again now. it has been a long time.— it has been a long time. i don't know if you _

to prevent incidents in the future. last year, there was a record number of teenage killings in the capital, with each death costing the met and criminaljustice system an estimated £800,000, according to the report. a group of older londoners are calling for an end to travel restrictions which mean they can't use their free transport passs before 9am. the perk was removed during lockdown, and this morning the group will head to city hall hoping to convince the mayor to re—instate the benefit. a final decision on the passes will be made before the end of the year. new data suggests london has lost its position as europe's most important stock market. the business media group bloomberg says france has taken the top spot. a weak pound, fears of a recession and a surge in the sale of french luxury goods is thought to be behind the shift. let's take a look how the tube

is running this morning. and the picadilly line is part suspended between rayner�*s lane and uxbridge because of leaves on the line. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. it's looking really rather unsettled weather—wise across the capital as we head through the rest of the week. wet and windy at times. and temperatures will be returning back down to the seasonal average, too. so feeling a lot cooler than it was over the course of the weekend. this morning, it is a dry early start out towards eastern areas but the cloud is thickening and that southerly wind will start to pick up. it is going to be a very blustery day with strong, gusty winds, particularly through the afternoon, as this heavy rain sweeps eastwards. we will see some heavy downpours for a time. that system clearing largely as we head through to the end of the day, out towards western home counties. top temperatures around 12 celsius, so already coming down. 0vernight tonight, some clear spells around at first and we will start to see some showers follow on behind that weather front.
7:00 am
it is still going to be quite windy. temperatures dropping back to single figures. on wednesday, another deep area of low pressure is going to give us very blustery winds and some heavy showers at times, especially through the afternoon. just before we go — on this evening's programme we'll be talking about the polio vaccine after an extra jab has been offered to children in the capital aged between one and nine after the virus was found in the sewage system. would you like to know more about how it works or perhaps why it's needed? ping us an email with your question or comment and we'll put it to an expert at 6.30pm. that's it from me, but there's much more on our website and get regular updates throughout the morning on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour. back now to sally and jon.
7:01 am
good morning and welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. 0ur headlines today... the world is facing "crisis after crisis". that's the warning as world leaders gather for the 620 summit in indonesia. at the meeting, prime minister rishi sunak has addressed the russian foreign minister directly, condemning the war in ukraine. pay rise? what pay rise?! as bills go up, the latest figures on wages are likely to show another real— terms cut in take home pay. i'll break down the numbers and ask what they mean for you. council tax could be on the way up for all of us, as the chancellor looks for ways to help fund social care. in an exclusive interview with bbc breakfast, former american first lady michelle obama tells us how she felt when donald trump replaced her husband in the white house. and it still hurts. but that's that point in time when you have to ask yourself, was it worth it?
7:02 am
england and wales fly out to qatar today for the world cup. harry kane and gareth bale's sides are in the same group, with their first games just six days away. if just six days away. you are heading out, grab your umbrella, if you are heading out, grab your umbrella, we have heavy rain moving from the west towards the north—east through the day, accompanied by gusty winds and followed by sunshine and some heavy showers. i will have all the details later in the programme. it's tuesday, 15th november. world leaders have gathered in bali for the first day of the 620 summit — with a warning that the world is facing "crisis upon crisis". the prime minister rishi sunak confronted russian representatives during the first session earlier this morning, and said russia must "get out of ukraine and end this barbaric war". 0ur political editor chris mason reports. a long haul to meet fellow leaders
7:03 am
of the world's largest economies. economies in trouble. recovering from the pandemic and confronting the consequences of the war in ukraine. rishi sunak was formally welcomed here this morning and headed for the opening session, a first chance for a british prime minister to condemn the war to a senior russian minister in the same room. it was thought russian president vladimir putin may come here. in the end, he sent his foreign minister sergei lavrov, instead. as well as the gatherings of all of the leaders in one room, there's also the chance for rishi sunak to meet leaders one—on—one, often for the first time, the likes of president biden and also the prime ministers of india and australia among them, and to make an argument that the economic problems we face are faced by others as well, but it is now rishi sunak�*s responsibility to try and sort out the economic problems back home
7:04 am
and he'll to try to do that in this autumn statement budget in all but name on thursday. away from the palm trees, the lily pads and, yes, the rain of this corner of southeast asia, the reality of tax rises and spending cuts, just days away, and trying to convince people a downpour of what many will see is bad news is worth it. chris mason, bbc news, in bali. chrisjoins us now from bali. i suppose despite the fact that the sun has come out they will be thinking about the economic storm around the world and at home as well. ,., ., around the world and at home as well. , ., ., ., , around the world and at home as well. ,., ., ., , ., , ,., , well. good morning, they absolutely are, a well. good morning, they absolutely are. a problem _ well. good morning, they absolutely are, a problem caused _ well. good morning, they absolutely are, a problem caused at _ well. good morning, they absolutely are, a problem caused at least i well. good morning, they absolutely are, a problem caused at least in i are, a problem caused at least in part by one of their own members, russia is a member of the 620 and
7:05 am
has been around the table this morning. as i mentioned, rishi sunak addressing sergei lavrov, the russian foreign minister, who is here instead of president putin, but in the end that did not happen, and yes, to an extent, these are problems shared and leaders here can take some comfort from that but in the end it is their responsibility back on to do something about that. right now they are gathering for a leaders' lunch, it is very hot, sweaty and muggy here in southeast asia, they are gathering amidst this bamboo structure for a working lunch as they attempt to find common ground. this is a club that is defined by economics. it is useful to explore an economic crisis like the one we are confronting at the moment, but the problem is that the countries that make up the 620's countries that make up the 6205 have big economies in common but not a lot else. big divergence as far as worldview is concerned, encapsulated by the fact that russia is a member
7:06 am
of this association, with china, and india and others as well so they are not even gathering for the diplomatic niceties you get, the family photos, like a very middle aged school photo with all of the leaders and their proxies getting together and smiling for the camera, they are not doing that, such as the division on that question of russia. there might not even be up communique of summit conclusions such as the extent of this agreement around the table. bud such as the extent of this agreement around the table.— around the table. and that club addressed _ around the table. and that club addressed by — around the table. and that club addressed by zoom _ around the table. and that club addressed by zoom by - around the table. and that clubl addressed by zoom by president zelensky of ukraine, what is the reaction to what he had to say? the reaction to what he had to say? the reaction from _ reaction to what he had to say? iie: reaction from the reaction to what he had to say? "iie: reaction from the vast reaction to what he had to say? ii2 reaction from the vast majority of leaders here, of overwhelming support. rishi sunak made it perfectly clear the uk will remain committed to ukraine for as long as it takes, as he put it, and that is the general view from the vast majority here, but when you probe away specifics, you get division so firstly, clearly, russia is here,
7:07 am
sergei lavrov the foreign minister here would have a different view, the language from the likes of china is different and is softer and that is different and is softer and that is why when the diplomats hear attempt to assemble conclusions that the world can send at the reunited message in the direction of moscow they end up falling flat and it would appear that draft attempts at coming up with those conclusions are pretty bland, the language is pretty neutral, leaning instead on what countries themselves have said indefinitely rather than an independent sense that they are all coming together to condemn russia, together, because there are disagreements among this pretty amorphous club.— disagreements among this pretty amorphous club. chris mason, live in bali at the 620, — amorphous club. chris mason, live in bali at the 620, thank _ amorphous club. chris mason, live in bali at the g20, thank you _ amorphous club. chris mason, live in bali at the g20, thank you so - amorphous club. chris mason, live in bali at the g20, thank you so much, | bali at the 620, thank you so much, and rishi sunak will return to the uk in the next couple of days to deal with economic matters here. council tax payments could be rising for all of us
7:08 am
as chancellorjeremy hunt looks for ways to help fund social care. 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardley joins us now. nick — what do we know about this? good morning to you, sally. 0ne caveat to everything you will hear this week around the autumn statement is the treasury keeps saying that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed and it could all change at the last minute, but one of the things that is being discussed over the past few days is, in 11 downing st, is the idea of allowing councils to increase council tax by a bit more. at the moment councils are allowed to increase council tax byjust under 3% and if they want to do it put it to a referendum. 0ne 3% and if they want to do it put it to a referendum. one of the things that seems increasingly likely is that seems increasingly likely is that the level at which that could go that the level at which that could 9° up that the level at which that could go up will be higher so there is some speculation in the papers this morning that council tax could be
7:09 am
allowed to be put up by as much as 5%, without a referendum, but the thinking is that council budgets are really squeezed just now, in particular, there is huge concern about how social care is going to be funded by local authorities, so that is something that we could well be seeing over the next few months, in addition to the other tax increases that a lot of us are going to be facing, to try and balance the books, council tax is one that could well be going up in england. irlick. well be going up in england. nick, thank you- — in the past few minutes, we've had an update on how wages compare to the rising cost of living. nina's been taking a look. what do the numbers tell us? we got these numbers _ what do the numbers tell us? we got these numbers at _ what do the numbers tell us? we got these numbers at seven _ what do the numbers tell us? we got these numbers at seven o'clock- what do the numbers tell us? we got these numbers at seven o'clock on i these numbers at seven o'clock on these numbers at seven o'clock on the labour market, who is working, where they are working and crucially how much they are getting paid for the months ofjuly — september put up the months ofjuly — september put up wages were rising again on
7:10 am
average by 5.7%. in normal times that would be a decent pay rise but these are not normal times. everything costs more, inflation above 10%, meaning in real terms how far your money is actually going. pay is down 2.7% on average. and the size of that gap between your pay and how much things cost depends who you are and where you work. have a look at this. public sector workers, their pay went up 2.2%, so the gap between wage increase and inflation is massive. the private sector workers so they go up 6.6%, a massive chasm, and drawing every time we get these numbers and it is something to keep an eye on because we keep hearing about talent leaving key worker roles to go to private sectorjobs. where does that leave the chancellor ahead of the autumn statement on thursday? with a headache. he has a workforce feeling pretty peeved about the fact that incrementally the money they take on
7:11 am
is being eaten into. people are seeing kimura spend beginning to diminish and the economy is almost definitely heading into recession. there is also a massive hole in his balance sheet in terms of what is coming in and what is going out and lots of experts asking at the moment how on earth he can feel it.— how on earth he can feel it. nina, thank you — how on earth he can feel it. nina, thank you for— how on earth he can feel it. nina, thank you for now. _ the health secretary, steve barclay, will hold talks with union leaders today, amid the growing prospect of further strikes by nhs workers. the royal college of nursing announced last week that many of its members had voted to walk out in a dispute over pay and staff shortages. 0ther unions are carrying out ballots. it's understood today's meeting will be focused on workforce issues in england. some shocking pictures — edinburgh's war memorial was set on fire yesterday, less than 2a hours after remembrance sunday services were held. several wreaths which were laid in the royal mile were completely burned and the city's stone
7:12 am
of remembrance was also damaged. edinburgh's lord provost robert aldridge said the act of vandalism was "disgusting and disrespectful". the 6rammy award—winning singer roberta flack has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease. # the first time ever i saw yourface...# the musician, famous for songs like the first time ever i saw your face and killing me softly, has been left unable to sing and is also having difficulty speaking. her management announced her diagnosis ahead of a documentary about her being released next week. it is another reminder of how devastating that disease can be. if you are feeling a bit down on this
7:13 am
cold, miserable wet morning, we have a lovely story for you right now... a missing dog has handed herself into a police station after getting lost out on a walk. rosie the border collie became separated from her owner after being spooked by a firework. cctv camera captured the moment she walked through the automatic doors at loughborough police station. she stayed there, look. she isjust going to make herself comfortable. my going to make herself comfortable. my name is rosie, this is my address, and i want my owners to find the right now. they are all reunited and that is a lovely story. we needed that. we need some sunshine and all of that kind of thing as well. and what a lovely picture have you got to us, carol?
7:14 am
good morning, everybody, we have heavy rain moving from the west towards the north—east and it is accompanied and preceded by strong winds. there will be a little sunshine in the forecast later on. here is our band of rain, where you see green and yellow that tells you the rain will be having that particular area and as it pushes to the north—east you can see behind it and return sunshine with some showers. some of those showers will be heavy and potentially thundery. whatever you are today, we have gusty winds, especially through the english channel and later, gusts of “p english channel and later, gusts of up to 60 mph across shetland. these are the temperatures, 11—13, more or less bang on where you would expect them to be at this stage in november. through the afternoon, we will still have some of those showers, the potentialfor them to be heavy and thundery, some brighter skies in between, then we run into the rain across northern england and scotland having cleared northern ireland, argyll and bute, and dumfries and galloway, and some will
7:15 am
be heading across aberdeenshire, perth and kinross for example. eventually it makes its way up into the north—east of scotland. 0vernight will have gusts of up to 60 and possibly more miles per hour, a cooler night than a nightjust gone, some showers potentially heavy and thundery, and tomorrow, starting off with some sunshine, though some showers, but then we have the next area of low pressure coming in and thatis area of low pressure coming in and that is going to bring in further rain and stronger winds, sal and jon. �* . . , , jon. but at least it is mild. temperatures _ jon. but at least it is mild. temperatures more - jon. but at least it is mild. temperatures more or- jon. but at least it is mild. | temperatures more or less jon. but at least it is mild. i temperatures more or less bang jon. but at least it is mild. - temperatures more or less bang on now what they should be. people in somalia are facing a continuing hunger crisis, as the country endures its worst drought in a0 years. now, the united nations is warning that half a million children under five are at risk of death by the middle of next year. 0ur africa correspondent andrew harding has gone to baidoa, one of the areas worst affected by the crisis. we should warn you that there are some distressing images
7:16 am
in his report. it's an important watch. we're tearing through baidoa. 0ur guards driving faster than on our last visit. the threat of ambushes by islamist militants is growing here. suddenly, we stumble across a funeral for a six—year—old boy who starved to death yesterday. 11 more children were buried here this week. but it's one particular family that's drawn us back to a desolate camp on the edge of town. fatuma mohammed is heating breakfast for her children, a cup of tea. they'll eat later in the day. nice to see you again. we've returned to see how the family is coping. hi, dahir, how are you?
7:17 am
this was dahir six weeks ago, mourning his younger brother salat, who died of hunger on the journey into baidoa. today, he's in good spirits. is milian feeling hot? but his two sisters are now struggling. they have suspected measles, perhaps pneumonia, too — the illnesses that seem to feast on hunger. and which lead so often to this. in a nearby hospital, two—year—old naima looks like a burn victim. in fact, her body is reacting painfully to prolonged starvation. as on our visit last month, the ward here is still full of such cases. does it feel to you like the world is paying attention now to somalia? now we can say that the attention of the international community is on somalia, especially the drought here.
7:18 am
so you're getting more aid because of that? we are not getting enough, but we hope to come soon. it's a desperate situation. back at the camp, 11—year—old dahir is heading to school. he's bright, alert. 0ur presence may be part of that. but around him, listless children and a chorus of coughing. the teacher tells us most of his class struggle to attend or to focus. many here will be stunted for life. across the road, a sudden crowd. a mood of near panic, as frustrated mothers try to register for new food hand—outs. but there's not enough. it's overwhelming. we are not getting the resources
7:19 am
on time with adequate also amounts. so you're only getting half what you need, is that right? that's exactly the right picture. we are getting half of what we want. later in the day, fatuma hauls water home for her children. dahir is quick to help out. "i'm getting by," she says. "but my children are not well." "i must work to make sure they survive." somalia is struggling right now, but it's worth remembering that before this last drought, dahir and his family were doing 0k. they had fields and crops. they had six cows and some goats. they were middle class farmers, suddenly left destitute, bankrupted by drought, by climate change. inside their hut, the girls slump. do you worry about
7:20 am
yoursisters, dahir? yeah. "yeah, yes," he says. what do you worry about? we are straying here towards painful memories of dahir�*s brother. "i just want my sisters to get better." he says it three times. an exhausted fatuma joins her daughters on their blanket. 0ne family in a nation still overwhelmed by hunger. andrew harding, bbc news, somalia. incredibly distressing images in that report. we're joined now by claire sanford from save the children. you are just back from somalia yourself, just tell us what you saw when you were there. the situation in somalia is _ when you were there. the situation in somalia is severe _ when you were there. the situation in somalia is severe and _ when you were there. the situation in somalia is severe and far- when you were there. the situation

in somalia is severe and far worse l in somalia is severe and far worse than when i visited the country back in june. we than when i visited the country back injune. we have more than 7 million people who are food insecure at the moment and 1.8 million of those are children and as your report suggested, more than 500,000 of those are at risk of severe malnutrition between now and next year, those are the children we are really concerned about and who have the potential to die. lode really concerned about and who have the potential to die.— the potential to die. we know that andrew showed _ the potential to die. we know that andrew showed us _ the potential to die. we know that andrew showed us stories - the potential to die. we know that andrew showed us stories of i the potential to die. we know that i andrew showed us stories of people experiencing this awful situation at the moment. take us back a little bit, what has caused this crisis? br; bit, what has caused this crisis? by a bit, what has caused this crisis? el: a number of different factors. somalia is experiencing climate change at its worst. it is a country that makes less than 1% of global greenhouse emissions but is experiencing the worst climate change, and covid impacted food and health supply chains, the country is a conflict of more than 30 years and in addition, the ukraine crisis has
7:22 am
played a critical role in this emergency particularly because 90% of the grain imports come from russia and the, from ukraine and they have been limited and that has raised the cost of key commodities that the somali people need to buy. like a magnet is an international picture. it is enough being done by the international community to help? money is getting into the country and we are able to respond and we are providing life—saving interventions, in health centres and stabilisation centres and in the hospitals i visited some emergency aid is getting through but as your colleague suggested on the video, not enough is getting there, and a happy loss of early warning signs when we should have responded sooner and at greater scale, and that is the key thing at the moment. we are seeint that the key thing at the moment. we are seeing that people _ the key thing at the moment. we are seeing that people are _ the key thing at the moment. we are seeing that people are in _ the key thing at the moment. we are seeing that people are in simply i seeing that people are in simply desperate circumstances, desperate images we are showing on our television now, but what sort of

day—to—day. he is going via kingston park for newcastle falcons for the rugby, stjames' park for park for newcastle falcons for the rugby, st james' park for newcastle united football club, and durham county cricket club in chester—le—street, where he ends. he has got it all covered. two down, five to go. he is wearing a special pink trainers that have been keeping him going. we saw body where paying tribute to those pink trainers the other day —— we saw doddie weir paying tribute. this ultramarathon, it is like anything over a normal marathon, over 26 miles and it is about a0 miles a day that he is doing on average. if you are putting off that run of a couple of miles this morning, that put it into perspective! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill.
7:27 am
a new study has found drugs, social media usage and missed mental health appointments are all factors driving the capital's homicide rate. the violence reduction unit analysed police data to better understand the causes of murders here. it also looked at where help could be targeted to prevent incidents in the future. last year, there was a record number of teenage killings in london — with each death costing the met and criminaljustice system an estimated £800,000 according to the report. a group of older londoners are calling for an end to travel restrictions which mean they can't use their free transport pass before 9am. the perk was removed during lockdown, and this morning the group will head to city hall hoping to convince the mayor to re—instate the benefit. a final decision on the passes will be made before the end of the year. new data suggests london has lost its position as europe's most
7:28 am
important stock market. the business media group bloomberg says france has taken the top spot. a weak pound, fears of a recession and a surge in the sale of french luxury goods is thought to be behind the shift. let's take a look how the tube is running this morning. minor delays on the 0verground and the piccadilly line is part suspended between rayners lanes and uxbridge because of leaves on the line. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. it's looking really rather unsettled weather wise across the capital as we head through the rest of the week. wet and windy at times. and temperatures will be returning back down to the seasonal average, too. so feeling a lot cooler than it was over the course of the weekend. this morning, it is a dry early start out towards eastern areas but the cloud is thickening and that southerly wind will start to pick up. it is going to be a very blustery day with strong, gusty winds,
7:29 am
particularly through the afternoon, as this heavy rain sweeps eastwards. we will see some heavy downpours for a time. that system clearing largely as we head through to the end of the day, out towards western home counties. top temperatures around 12 celsius, so already coming down. 0vernight tonight, some clear spells around at first and we will start to see some showers follow on behind that weather front. it is still going to be quite windy. temperatures dropping back to single figures. on wednesday, another deep area of low pressure is going to give us very blustery winds and some heavy showers at times, especially through the afternoon. and just before we go — on this evening's programme we'll be talking about the polio vaccine after an extra jab has been offered to children in the capital aged between one and nine after the virus was found in the sewage system. would you like to know more about how it works? or perhaps why it's needed? ping us an email with your question or comment and we'll put it to an expert at 6.30.
7:30 am
that's it from me. i'll be back in an hour. now back to sally and john hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. as donald trump is expected to make an announcement about the 202a presidential election, former first lady michelle obama has spoken out about how his previous victory "still hurts". in an exclusive interview with bbc breakfast, she's been speaking to naga about her husband's time in office, family life and her new book. let's take a look. and it still hurts. but that's that point in time when you have to ask yourself, "was it worth it? did we make a dent? did it matter?"
7:31 am
and when i'm in my darkest moment, right, my most irrational place, i could say, "well, maybe not. maybe we weren't good enough." but then i look around and i, you know, when there is more clarity, when i'm able to unpack those feelings and think more rationally, i think, "well, my gosh," as i said earlier today, "there's a whole world of young people who are thinking differently about themselves because of the work that we've done." and that's where, you know, you can't allow great to be the enemy of the good. you know, did everything get fixed in the eight years that we were there? absolutely not. that's not how change happens. but we laid a marker in the sand. we pushed the wheel forward a bit. but progress isn't about a steady climb upward. there are ups and downs and stagnation. that's the nature of change.
7:32 am
yet the world we're in today here in the uk and in the united states has become more and more polarised, particularly when it comes to politics. people seem divided. they seem angry. what, in your opinion, is needed to bring people back together, to let them have pleasant discourse, agreeable disagreements on a middle ground? well, leadership matters. the voices at the top matter. if we continue to be susceptible to voices that want to lead by fear and division, we will follow suit. that's why government matters. democracy matters, voting matters. so i think it starts with having leadership that reflects the direction that we want to go in as a people. one of the biggest challenges you refer to when you talk about fear, you say, "the most anxious i've ever been in my life
7:33 am
was when barack obama told me for the first time that he wanted to run for president of the united states. and it's strange that i could have altered the course of history with my fear." you know, you could have said no. you know you had that option and it would have stood. are you pleased you said yes? iam. i think, to take a moment to talk about the man that i love, i think that barack was a consequential leader. i think, you know, for so many young people, notjust here in america, but around the world, they grew up knowing only a black president, an african—american family in the white house. they saw themselves in one of the most powerful positions on earth. if you just count that alone, not to mention all of his accomplishments from a policy perspective, it was absolutely worth taking that leap of faith.
7:34 am
but that's why i share that story. i want people to sit with how fear can catch us up, because i had to work through what was keeping... what would have kept me from saying yes. and what it was, was me not wanting to change, not wanting to change my life, going to a new city, doing something i didn't know, making new friends, trying something hard. i didn't want to share that type of doubt with my girls. i had to think about the story i wanted them to tell about our family. and i didn't want to be at the core of it and have them say, "my father could have been president of the united states, but we didn't do it because my mother was afraid." i didn't want to tell that story. i lived through the legacy of too many people, particularly african—american people, my grandfathers included, whose lives were constricted by their fear of something different. you talk about visibility
7:35 am
and you talk about the importance of being seen and about many minority groups which are not seen still. and you say we need to stay aware of whose stories are being told and who is being erased. who at this moment in time do you think isn't being seen? you know, the irony is, i think there are more and more people who feel like they don't matter on this planet. you know, and i talk about what it feels like to be different. you know, i open up the book by talking about difference and how it defines so much about how we see one another and how we see the world. but you'll notice that i also define difference very broadly. it is notjust race and gender,
7:36 am
but its economic status, it's whether you live in the city or on a farm. it's how you learn, how you love, how you feel. there's so many of us who feel marginalised. and that's a curious thing that we... because we live in such a complicated planet, that so many of us don't feel seen. i love the fact that you say when you entered, "we needed a pencil box for sasha, a ball gown for me, a toothbrush holder and an economic rescue package." i mean, there was a whole load of stuff going on alongside a life you wanted to make normal, and you talk about how you had to protect your daughters, malia and sasha, more than ever before, and help them live with a small level of normality. did you succeed, do you think? you know, i'd like to say that now that they are young women in the world, still becoming who they're going to be, i am so proud of the individuals
7:37 am
that they've become. and yes, we fought to make their lives normal in a very abnormal situation. and we did that byjust pushing them towards normalcy, really just systematically making sure that they didn't connect their lives to what we were doing. that meant that they had to go to school when it was time to go to school, making sure they could drive a car and knew how to make their beds and, you know, were on teams and participated in soccer matches. and that meant that we had to normalise ourselves as parents in the community so that us showing up for a parent—teacher night or soccer game wasn't a big to do. so it was a mighty bit of work keeping our kids on a normal track. but i can say what helped a lot was having marian robinson, grandmother in chief,
7:38 am
on our side through the process. one of the sweetest stories is when you had a classroom of young children and you said, "ask me anything you like." and one of them popped up a hand and just said, "can i have a hug?" yeah. the secret to a good hug, according to michelle obama? you've got to mean it. people know the difference. you know, they know when you're embracing them for show and when you're embracing them because you see them. so i think the key is, don't hug unless you mean it, because people will know the difference. michelle obama, it is time for your quickfire round. oh, my gosh. very easy questions. but they're to be answered. quick, quick, quick. which question do you detest being asked? "are you going to run for president?" answer? i detest it. no, i'm not. i'm not going to run. how is your husband barack�*s golf? and why don't you play more?
7:39 am
oh, you know, barack would say his game is frustratingly average for the amount that he plays. why don't i play? because i'd rather play tennis. you mentioned your wonderful mother, who stayed at the white house for eight years alongside you to help raise the family. so you spent all that time together. have you finally usurped your brother craig as her favorite child ? no, i don't think i've surpassed that goal. he's still pretty cute and he's still her only son. i'm still working on it, though. knowing there was a huge reaction when you broke protocol, when you hugged the queen when you visited the uk, would you hug the king given a chance? i would...i would take his lead. i would stand down until i was touched or hugged. i've learned that protocol! you are 30 years married.
7:40 am
congratulations. i believe you celebrated in october. thank you, yay for us! in one word, the secret not to staying together because lives are separate and they come back. the secret of coming back together. love. let me say this, like is even more important than love. like, that's my word. and finally, the most important and politically astute question you will be asked in your lifetime. toilet roll — your parents fought over whether the toilet roll should go over or under the toilet roll holder. your mother stood down to go under. give us an insight, in the obama household, over or under? i do reveal this in the book, and if i wanted to leave
7:41 am
a cliffhanger, i would tell people to buy the book to find out. but i won't be so cruel. we are an over family. we ask the important questions on this programme. i don't think i've ever noticed!— ever noticed! naga is able to play tolf with ever noticed! naga is able to play golf with her- _ ever noticed! naga is able to play golf with her. she _ ever noticed! naga is able to play golf with her. she did. _ ever noticed! naga is able to play golf with her. she did. and - golf with her. she did. and exclusive _ golf with her. she did. and exclusive bbc _ golf with her. she did. and exclusive bbc interview, i golf with her. she did. and i exclusive bbc interview, there. michelle 0bama's book the light we carry is out today. the full interview with naga and michelle obama is available now on bbc iplayer. time for the sport and we have been talking about this world cup for ever such a long time but it is just starting to get a little bit exciting, certainly about the football, anyway. we exciting, certainly about the football, anyway.— exciting, certainly about the football, anyway. we are edging closer, football, anyway. we are edging closer. and _ football, anyway. we are edging closer, and thank— football, anyway. we are edging closer, and thank you _ football, anyway. we are edging closer, and thank you for - football, anyway. we are edging closer, and thank you for not i football, anyway. we are edging i closer, and thank you for not asking whether i'm overall under, no response at all. we whether i'm overall under, no response at all.— whether i'm overall under, no response at all. we are finally ttettin response at all. we are finally getting there. _ response at all. we are finally getting there, the _ response at all. we are finally getting there, the biggest i response at all. we are finally i getting there, the biggest build-up getting there, the biggest build—up in memory and it feels quite exciting for wales because they are making history and they are finally
7:42 am
in the world cup for the first time since 1958. we will see how england develop, does not feel like there's a lot of excitement and momentum at the moment but both sides are in the same group and at this time next week, they will have played their first matches. 6areth bale says it's yet to sink in. he says he's 100% fit to play. he admits it was difficult growing up unable to see wales play at at the finals, but now the country's preparing to play in a world cup for the first time in 6a years. he says he can't wait. theirfirst group game is against usa on monday. for the kids now, to be able to have wales, their country, being able to watch them and have the actual kind of poster up on the wall, to mark out each game, will be incredible and i think it will definitely inspire another generation of kids to really love and get into football and i think that willjust benefit wales in the future, both the men's and women's game. the england and wales squad is both
7:43 am
flying out. england's first game next monday is against iran. more explosive lines from the cristiano ronaldo interview now. this time, saying the 6lazers don't care about manchester united on a sporting front. he of course made headlines yesterday after telling talktv he felt "betrayed" by manchester united and claimed they were trying to force him out. we've now heard ronaldo call united a marketing club focused on money, and as well as the 6lazers, he's taken a swipe at former team—mates wayne rooney and gary neville who've been critical of him at times — saying they're doing it to be more famous and they're not his friends. talking of potentially strained friendships, this is bruno fernandes, ronaldo's manchester united team—mate, joining up with him and the rest of the portugal team for the world cup. you can make what you want of this short exchange. it's not clear what was said but that video was posted by portugal's social media channels.
7:44 am
as for manchester united, they say they'll consider their response to what ronaldo's saying after the full facts haves been established, which we assume is once the interview's gone out in full. england's hopes of reaching a first ever rugby league world cup final were dashed by a 20—6 defeat in york last night. we saw the tournament end for the men at the weekend. new zealand fought back from falling behind to an early fran goldthorp try to score four of their own as the three—time champions powered their way into the final once again. england's challenge ending at the semifinal stage for the fourth consecutive time. better news at the weekend on the world cup front for england's white bull cricketers. they secured their legacy as one of the sport's great sides after winning the t20 world cup against pakistan on sunday and becoming the first side to hold the 20 over and 50 over world
7:45 am

7:48 am
they want to do their thing is with they want to do their thing is with the celebrations which is fine. there is a bit of talk about the nonalcoholic champagne but at the time, i don't think the players even care what it is, to be honest, it is just one of those things that has happened over a long period of time. we don't mind it at all. me and adil rashid, we get our photo with the boys, which is the main bit, and yeah, wejust crack boys, which is the main bit, and yeah, we just crack on, we don't really think about it too much. talking about racking on, the one—day series against australia happens just four days after the final, what do you make of the scheduling? ! final, what do you make of the scheduling?— final, what do you make of the schedulin: ? ~ ., , , , scheduling? i think that is pretty touch scheduling? i think that is pretty tough because — scheduling? i think that is pretty tough because it is a very - tough because it is a very tiring process, having come from pakistan just before the world cup and then playing 3t20s against australia, then the world cup and then another series against australia. it is pretty crazy and i know there's a lot of people who say, well, you are playing for england but you get tired and you want to give 100% all the time and sometimes it is not

always that easy to do, to turn up, especially after winning a world cup, the guys will be celebrating, for the last couple of days, they will have done what they want to do, chilling out, and then you go straight into a game, and the focus obviously changes onto the one—day internationals, and we want to try to win that as well. i internationals, and we want to try to win that as well.— to win that as well. i have ten seconds. _ to win that as well. i have ten seconds. any _ to win that as well. i have ten seconds, any chance - to win that as well. i have ten seconds, any chance of- to win that as well. i have ten seconds, any chance of ben i to win that as well. i have ten - seconds, any chance of ben stokes coming out of one—day retirement? we saw him bring the trophy home, are you and the other players working your magic on him?— you and the other players working your magic on him? yeah, look, as lona as your magic on him? yeah, look, as long as he — your magic on him? yeah, look, as long as he is _ your magic on him? yeah, look, as long as he is there _ your magic on him? yeah, look, as long as he is there for— your magic on him? yeah, look, as long as he is there for the - your magic on him? yeah, look, as long as he is there for the world i long as he is there for the world cup he does not have to play the rest, that is my perspective, just turn up for the world cup and don't worry about the rest of it! we turn up for the world cup and don't worry about the rest of it!— worry about the rest of it! we will hold ou worry about the rest of it! we will hold you to _ worry about the rest of it! we will hold you to that, _ worry about the rest of it! we will hold you to that, and _ worry about the rest of it! we will hold you to that, and ben - worry about the rest of it! we will hold you to that, and ben stokes| hold you to that, and ben stokes will defend the one—day world cup with england in india next year. we wish you and the lads all the best against australia, moeen, thank you forjoining us. moeen ali, talking about the highs and lows in his career and what a moment, 19 from 12

7:51 am
way behind the rain. the rain has been heavy as it moved across northern ireland and western scotland and north—west england, wales and the south—west but it is continuing to journey eastwards, so it is drying up in northern ireland, pembrokeshire and cornwall. the rain will be heavy as it advances northwards and eastwards through the day. behind it, a return to sunshine and some of those showers we saw on the satellite picture. some of those locally will be heavy and potentially thundery as well. the wind will be a feature today, just ahead of the rain and along the band of rain. you can see wherever you are, gusty wind, gusty through the english channel, and gusty across the north—east of scotland later, in shetland in particular. temperatures today ranging from 11—14, so if you are exposed to the wind and the rain, it will feel quite cool. you will notice the difference compared to recent days. through the evening and overnight, the rain continues to march into the far north—east of scotland. gusty wind in shetland, as
7:52 am
much as 60 mph, possibly a bit more than that. behind that, some showers, some of those heavy, potentially thundery in south—west england and it is going to be cooler than the one that has just gone. as we head through tomorrow, still gusty wind across the far north—east of scotland, shetland primarily, and for much of the uk tomorrow will be dry, with some sunshine and a few showers around but then later, the next area of low pressure comes our way, bearing rain into the south—west of england and also over towards the isle of wight, for example, and the wind is going to strengthen here. temperatures, 10—13 or maybe iii. that area of low pressure will be with us wednesday night into thursday, it will move across us with bands of rain spiralling around it. you can see from the squeeze in the eyes of eyes in the south we will have gusty wind but stronger in the north sea during the course of the day. on thursday, as the low pressure moves north, don't forget, we have got the rain
7:53 am
moving around it, eastern scotland will see quite a bit of rain from the system, showers following behind and the wind picks up in the north sea. as we head into friday, the low pressure clears scotland, with a ridge of high pressure, still a few showers around but strong winds, very strong wind, potentially severe gales across shetland with gusts of as much as 70 or even 75 mph, possibly even more. thank you. if you regularly practice yoga, then you're probably familiar with the move "downward—facing dog." manoeuvre? it would be more than a manoeuvre — manoeuvre? it would be more than a manoeuvre for _ manoeuvre? it would be more than a manoeuvre for me! _ manoeuvre? it would be more than a manoeuvre for me! i _ manoeuvre? it would be more than a manoeuvre for me! i love _ manoeuvre? it would be more than a manoeuvre for me! i love that. - but now there's a trend that gives the phrase a whole new meaning. this is my favourite story today. it includes real puppies in the classes, and organisers say it's beneficial for both the humans and canines who are taking part. molly brewer reports. and when we are lying down,
7:54 am
do be prepared, they probably will come and jump on your face, nibble your ears and your toes, so be prepared for all the puppy love. yoga but with a fluffy twist, with literal downward facing dogs. the puppies just run around. as you can see, theyjust make everyone so happy. and i always tell people at the start of the classes, feel free to join in if and when. if you want to sit with the dogs the whole time, feel free to do so. this unique practice is a combination of animal therapy and yoga, which aims to help with anxiety and stress. not everyone has access to pets and animals. especially people like students, who might be away for uni and might be missing their pets. so it has great mental health benefits well. it really helps with the puppies' socialisation process, so it helps puppies get used to being around people,
7:55 am
being in a new environment, before they go to their new home. but being puppies with still a lot to learn, there's always a risk of a few accidents. but people here say that is a small price to pay. anyone who's had a dog or a puppy knows that they will wee or they will bark sometimes. that is an understatement, yeah. there is an understanding, yeah. it isjust really nice, - it brings you all the serotonin and good vibes and the puppies are so adorable. _ she is a big dog fan. yes _ this is a dream come true! seriously. i have been stealing puppies all session. molly brewer, bbc news. and when i roll my yoga mat out at home, my dog joins in, does a little stretch? did home, my dog 'oins in, does a little stretch? , ., ~' home, my dog 'oins in, does a little stretch? , ., ~ stretch? did not look like there was a lot of yoga _ stretch? did not look like there was a lot of yoga going _ stretch? did not look like there was a lot of yoga going on, _ stretch? did not look like there was a lot of yoga going on, it _ stretch? did not look like there was a lot of yoga going on, it was - a lot of yoga going on, it was basically playing with the dogs which is my kind of yoga. sitting on the mat is yoga. — which is my kind of yoga. sitting on the mat is yoga, its _ which is my kind of yoga. sitting on the mat is yoga, its fine. _ which is my kind of yoga. sitting on the mat is yoga, its fine. it - which is my kind of yoga. sitting on the mat is yoga, its fine. it is - which is my kind of yoga. sitting on the mat is yoga, its fine. it is all i the mat is yoga, its fine. it is all very zen- _

7:57 am
think is that they only represent the tip of a much bigger iceberg. these are incredibly difficult crimes to detect and to prosecute. this number of confirmed incidents is a real concern and it is having conservation impact on populations of some of our most iconic species. every case is different but give some trends, why is this happening? why it is happening, it is particularly on land why it is happening, it is particularly on [and associated with game bird shooting, like grouse in the uplands, pheasant and partridge shooting in the lowlands. more than two thirds of incidents are on those kind of land and that is why we desperately need to see greater regulation to tackle this ongoing high levels of illegal killing. 50 high levels of illegal killing. so in simple terms, is this deliberate? yeah, absolutely, this is deliberate targeting of birds of prey. birds of prey eat things and on some of the estates, not all of the shooting estates, not all of the shooting estates but clearly, far too many, we still see this basically

uk prime minister rishi sunak confronted russian representatives during the first session earlier this morning, and said russia must "get out of ukraine and end this barbaric war". our political editor chris mason reports. a long haul to meet fellow leaders of the world's largest economies. economies in trouble. recovering from the pandemic and confronting the consequences of the war in ukraine. rishi sunak was formally welcomed here this morning and headed for the opening session, a first chance for a british prime minister to condemn the war to a senior russian minister in the same room. it was thought russian president vladimir putin may come here. in the end, he sent his foreign minister sergei lavrov, instead. as well as the gatherings of all of the leaders in one room, there's also the chance for rishi sunak to meet leaders one—on—one, often for the first time,
8:03 am
the likes of president biden and also the prime ministers of india and australia among them, and to make an argument that the economic problems we face are faced by others as well, but it is now rishi sunak�*s responsibility to try and sort out the economic problems back home and he'll to try to do that in this autumn statement — budget in all but name on thursday. away from the palm trees, the lily pads and, yes, the rain of this corner of southeast asia, the reality of tax rises and spending cuts, just days away, and trying to convince people a downpour of what many will see is bad news is worth it. chris mason, bbc news, in bali. we're joined now by our correspondent, jonathan head, who is in bali for us this morning. jonathan — what else has been happening at the summit?
8:04 am
this morning has been dominated by ukraine as everyone knew this summit would be with an address by president zelensky by video link. he is still in kyiv stop it was to the leaders of this group which includes the russian foreign minister sergei elaboro who had to sit and listen to a wrong —— long speech denouncing the invasion and calling on the other countries here that they should take action to end the war, and not submit to brush up as much nuclear blackmail as he called it. he described the defeat of russian forces, the withdrawal of their forces, the withdrawal of their forces from kherson as kind of like d—day, and that is the kind of rhetoric. most countries are acutely concerned about the war, notjust the threat to europe but also the damage it has done to food supplies and energy supplies, so there's topics are dominating. where there are differences as the stress that is put on it. the us and its allies want russia isolated. they want real
8:05 am
condemnation. there are other countries like india which has strong military relations with russia he believed more subtle diplomacy is needed and don't want russia to be isolated so there is not a common approach and when we get a final statement there will be some reflection of that. certainly a huge amount of angst about the war in ukraine and the need to end it but perhaps not so much finger—pointing at russia. beyond that these massive problems of climate change, food security, getting the global economy going again and in some sense, some of the countries here are concerned that the ukraine issue has eclipsed that, and the big rapprochement of the us and the big rapprochement of the us and china, they want these topics to be front and centre.— and china, they want these topics to be front and centre. jonathan, thank ou. council tax payments could be going up for all of us as the chancellor, jeremy hunt, looks for ways to help fund social care. our chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now. the chancellor is preparing for that

8:07 am
called "excessive council tax called " excessive council tax rises", called "excessive council tax rises", but it is one of the things thatis rises", but it is one of the things that is on the table to try and shore up the public finances. it would allow the treasury to say that there are councils raising a bit of extra cash without the government putting that tax up directly. but it all plays this picture, we were talking about it yesterday, and today and will be again tomorrow and the rest of this week about taxes going up, and that means more of a squeeze on household incomes. the autumn statement is on thursday. can i ask you about reports in the papers this morning about ministers was multi—behaviour, allegations of bullying behaviour within whitehall and how that might be dealt with —— about ministers was multi—behaviour. we had gavin williamson resigning over this. a steady trickle of
8:08 am
accusations against dominic raab, the deputy prime minister. his team have said that he has been thoroughly professional and have never been any formal complaints against him. rishi sunak, ask about this in indonesia, said something similar, no formal complaints. there have been some concerns raised. they have been some concerns raised. they have come out on some of the papers. bloomberg this morning saying that the top civil servant in the country was told about abrasive behaviour from dominic raab in the past. one of the interesting things about that formulation of words, about no formal complaints, is interesting because the argument that one of the union representing civil servants, the fda, is that there is not much of a process for civil servants to make formal complaints against ministers, it is at the behest of the prime minister because they are in charge of the prime ministerial —— the ministerial code which govern the behaviour of ministers when they are in theirjobs, so the fda has
8:09 am
called for an overhaul of the rules to make sure that civil servants to have a way of raising concerns if they have any. but you are right. there has been this strange thing that has been happening since rishi sunak appointed his cabinet. much controversy around some of those appointments. some questions about the behaviour of some ministers in the behaviour of some ministers in the past, all of it the night, now, those calls for a more formal mechanism to raise those concerns. —— all of it denied. the health secretary, steve barclay, will hold talks with union leaders today, amid the growing prospect of further strikes by nhs workers. the royal college of nursing announced last week that many of its members had voted to walk out in a dispute over pay and staff shortages. other unions are carrying out ballots. it's understood today's meeting will be focused on workforce issues in england. edinburgh's war memorial was set on fire yesterday — less than 2a hours after remembrance sunday services were held. several wreaths which were laid in the royal mile
8:10 am
were completely burned and the city's stone of remembrance was also damaged. edinburgh's lord provost robert aldridge said the act of vandalism was "disgusting and disrespectful". the grammy award—winning singer roberta flack has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease. # the first time ever i saw yourface...# the musician, famous for songs like the first time ever i saw your face and killing me softly has been left unable to sing and is also having difficulty speaking. her management announced her diagnosis ahead of a documentary about the singer being released next week. sad news. what a voice. we do have one lovely story for you at least, this morning. a missing dog has handed herself
8:11 am
into a police station after getting lost out on a walk. she is clearly very clever, this dog! rosie the border collie became separated from her owner after being spooked by a firework. cctv camera captured the actual moment she walked through the doors. she isjust finding she is just finding a she isjust finding a corner, and she stays here. delighted to say that rosie has been reunited with her family. that rosie has been reunited with herfamily. and the police are following a number of leads! ugh! carol, get me out of here! it isa it is a wet start to the day, some heavy rain coming in from the west pushing northwards and eastwards, and it is preceded and accompanied by strong winds. you can see the
8:12 am
progress it is making as we go through the course of this morning. it has already cleared northern ireland and will continue to clear dumfries and galloway, also through wales and parts of south—west england but in south—west england you will see showers develop. out towards the west behind that band of rain we are looking at sunshine and showers as rain continues to move north and east, along some gusty winds. laterthe north and east, along some gusty winds. later the strongest winds will be in shetland with gusts of up to 60 mph. temperatures between 11-14, to 60 mph. temperatures between 11—14, north to south, and it will feel cooler if you are in the wind and rain. this evening and overnight, that rain pushes up into the north—east, still with gusty winds. behind it, we will see some clearer skies, also some showers and the odd rumble of thunder across south—west england. under clear skies it will be a colder night than it was last night. tomorrow, we start off with sunshine and showers. many of those showers spreading through the course of the day. later, another band of rain coming
8:13 am
in from the south—west, accompanied by stronger winds and gusty winds still in shetland. top temperatures, up still in shetland. top temperatures, up to about 13 or iii, sal and jon. thank you, carol, we will talk to you again soon. all eyes are on the autumn statement on thursday and how the government will try and balance the books. there are fears that some of the savings could come from the £120 billion currently spent on benefit payments every year. millions of disabled people rely on this income to help pay for the extra costs of having a disability. ruth clegg reports. now, isabel? are you going to pick another flower? which one do you want, this one? this may not look like a family on the brink, but they survive on benefits and help from family and friends. if we didn't have that, or it was reduced, god forbid, in any way, we would lose the house.
8:14 am
keep pushing! we don't get any support for housing costs or anything like that, so... good girl! i can't imagine what it would be like to not have that and, in fact, i don't really like to think too much about what it would and wouldn't be like to have that because it's too difficult to picture in my head. elizabeth's life revolves around isabel's care. knees together! she's funny, she's happy, she always wakes up with a smile on her face. yep, pay attention. in your wheelchair, please. isabel has learning difficulties and epilepsy. and such complex conditions bring many extra costs. that's expensive, that's about £6,000, but for me, it's more about the accumulation of stuff. like, as her mobility�*s deteriorated, or her needs have changed, you slowly add things on and it's not like you canjust
8:15 am
go, well, if we cut back on that... because, like you say, isabel has to have that. yeah, yeah. and the wheelchair, this is going to be my next expense, i need to get a quote for another one of these but it is... it is ten years old. and also, she is spending more time in it. she doesn't have a diagnosis, so i don't know what's going to happen next. that's really hard. i'm almost reacting to situations rather than anticipating what's going to happen. more than 5 million people claim disability benefits. and that support can be crucial because, while disabled people make up just over 20% of the population, they account for more than 40% of the poorest households. there can be no more cuts. - there can be no more austerity. because that will simply lead to loss of life. - people have changed _ what they are eating, they have reduced what they are eating, they have reduced transport, i
8:16 am
they have reduced medical activity i so, a lot of people do additionall things like therapies, _ extra drugs that they may need, those have all stopped. people cannot afford their health care. . this cafe in wigan provides a lifeline. run by disabled people, it's where problems are shared and support is given. my name is hannah, i am a third year english literature and creative writing student. at 37, hannah has been fulfilling a lifelong ambition to get a degree and become a writer, but right now her independence is at risk. i feel like a prisoner in my own home, whether it be because of financial reasons, and i can't afford to do things, but not having the support in place, my biggest fear is that i'm going to go back to the institutional life living that i had just got out of. without her mum, isobel would have
8:17 am
to go into residential care. it was either my children or myjob and that's not a choice, is it? there was no choice. this was not going to be my career path. it's not my fault. it's not isabel's fault, it's the situation that we are in. what's that? camera! the government says disabled people have received a £150 cost of living payment as part of a wider package of support but, with what could be the biggest financial squeeze for a generation, and with many struggling to make ends meet, disabled people just want to make sure they get their voice heard, and listened to, before it's too late. ruth clegg, bbc news, greater manchester. lots of you getting in touch about that story and the issues affecting you right now. if you were watching yesterday you'll have seen the story
8:18 am
of dad—of—two samuel from bristol. samuel lives in a one—bedroom flat with his two young sons and has been struggling with the rising cost of living. he was telling us how he was having to boil the kettle to run bit of a bath and queue up for things that were on offer offer at the supermarket. lots of you have been in touch and we've passed on all your messages and best wishes to samuel — we'll keep checking in with him and let you know how he's getting on. we've had an update this morning on how wages compare to the rising cost of living. wages might be going up but it doesn't feel like it because everything has been going up. nina's been taking a look. if you've secured that long—awaited pay rise, but aren't feeling better off, you are not alone. here's why. inflation — the rate at which prices rise — is currently at a ito—year high of 10.1%. life is basically costing 10% more than it did a year ago.
8:19 am
we learned this morning that pay actually rose by 5.7% in the year to september. but despite salaries going up, what you actually take home is dropping when you take into account rising prices. we are an average 2.7% worse off. statistically even worse off if you work in the public sector. and the gulf between what you earn in the private sector compared to public sector workers is growing. there is evidence, that that is contributing to key worker shortages. contributing to key worker shortages-— contributing to key worker shortages. contributing to key worker shortaies, . ., ., , ., ., shortages. we have a very animated labour shortages. we have a very animated labour market _ shortages. we have a very animated labour market at _ shortages. we have a very animated labour market at the _ shortages. we have a very animated labour market at the moment - shortages. we have a very animated labour market at the moment and l shortages. we have a very animated i labour market at the moment and yes, some people are leaving the public sector to join the private sector, seeking out those better pay bargains. is seeking out those better pay baraains. , . , ., ., seeking out those better pay baraains. , . ., ., seeking out those better pay baraains. . ., ., bargains. is wages are not going as far, most households _ bargains. is wages are not going as far, most households are _ bargains. is wages are not going as far, most households are feeling i far, most households are feeling worse off and that is affecting how we spend.

zoe conway reports. the 200 degrees coffee company says the success of the business doesn't just rely on the quality of the beans. it also depends on the well—being of its staff. this year, the owners gave their employees a 5% pay rise and they have tried to help them through the cost of living crisis by giving them grants and loans. it has definitely made a difference. it has made me not nervous about the future as much as i could possibly have been earlier this year. i think going into this year, having just dealt with covid, it was really quite a nervous time, knowing, do i dare take meter readings, that kind of thing? but i think having the support from the business and having that pay rise has just sort of lightened the load a little bit and made it feel a little bit more comfortable. taken the edge off? definitely taken the edge off! absolutely. but with the country forecast to be in recession by the end of the year, the business may not be able to afford to be so generous next year. there's a lot of pressures
8:21 am
that we have got to deal with. we all know how utilities have gone up, you know, 200% for us as a business. our green bean costs have gone up 25%. there is wage inflation, as we are talking about now. and then other consumables which have gone up between 10—15%. so that all goes into the mix, and yes, we've got some tricky decisions to make but as a business, you know, we will do our utmost to make sure we give our staff the increases they need. inflation is now more than 10%, and could go even higher by christmas. but pay is not keeping up. this year, private sector pay has risen by 6.2%, while public sector pay has gone up by 2.2%. it is the largest gap between public and private sector pay on record. public sector pay is starting to fall behind private sector pay, both overall, so public sector pay is now lower than private sector pay for pretty much the first time on record but also, it is growing far more slowly as well. this is a particular problem now, with inflation above 10%.
8:22 am
public sector workers are falling further and further behind in real terms pay than their private—sector counterparts. talk me through what you have done here? michael is teaching binary arithmetic. a graduate of teach first, he is now a senior manager of the ark globe academy in south london. half the students are eligible for free school meals, yet their a—level results are some of the very best in the country. i see myself in a lot of those kids. i grew up as a child who was eligible for free school meals, and i try to be the teacher that i wish i'd had in the school, in my school growing up. like many teachers, michael got a 5% pay rise. it is higher than many other public—sector professions, because of what is being called a teacher recruitment crisis. he says several of the teachers he trained with have left the profession. i do have peers, of course, i've got several who have stayed in the profession but i do have people who have thought, you know what, they want to move
8:23 am
into the private sector and there is always a common theme as to why. of course, there is a workload issue. however, the pay needs to be enough to make sure they can sustain their lifestyle and make sure they are able to do well. so my message really is to make sure, if you want to see the best teachers coming into schools, then the pay needs to also reflect that. the chancellorjeremy hunt is determined to drive down inflation by holding down wages. whilst he might not be able to control what people at this company are paid, he is expected to limit next year's public—sector pay rises to 2%. zoe conway, bbc news. we heard how hard things are for laura and steven — and more widely for the hospitality industry. this should be their strongest trading period, and yet one in five food and drinks businesses have or are planning to cut trading hours
8:24 am
to save money on energy costs. we've had an update from the chancellor in the last hour in relation to those wage figures. jeremy hunt saying "tackling inflation is my absolute priority and that guides the difficult decisions on tax and spending we will make on thursday." referring of course to the much— anticipated autumn statement. make no mistake, you will be affected. he's said to expect tax rises at a time when most households are already feeling their wages stretch beyond what's comfortable. there's more information, support and advice online at the bbc�*s cost of living web page. just search for "bbc cost of living" in your browser. jon and sally. we're on bbc one until 9:15am this morning — then it's time for morning live with sam and gethin. they can tell us what they have in store.

powerful tops. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill. a new study has found drugs, social media usage and missed mental health appointments are all factors driving the capitals homicide rate. the violence reduction unit analysed police data to better understand the causes of murders here. it also looked at where help could be targeted to prevent incidents in the future. last year, there was a record number of teenage killings in london — with each death costing the met and criminaljustice system an estimated £800,000 according to the report. a group of older londoners are calling for an end to travel restrictions which mean they can't use their free transport passes before 9am. the perk was removed during lockdown, and this morning the group will head to city hall hoping to convince the mayor to re—instate the benefit. a final decision on the passes will be made before the end of the year.

new data suggests london has lost its position as europe's most important stock market. france has taken the top spot according to business experts bloomberg. a weak pound, fears of a recession and a surge in the sale of french luxury goods is thought to be behind the shift. let's take a look how the tube is running this morning. severe delays on the dlr between bank and lewisham due to train faults. severe delays on the 0verground and the piccadilly line is part suspended between rayners lanes and uxbridge because of leaves on the line. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. it's looking really rather unsettled weather wise across the capital as we head through the rest of the week. wet and windy at times. and temperatures will be returning back down to the seasonal average, too. so feeling a lot cooler than it was over the course of the weekend. this morning, it is a dry early start out towards eastern areas
8:29 am
but the cloud is thickening and that southerly wind will start to pick up. it is going to be a very blustery day with strong, gusty winds, particularly through the afternoon, as this heavy rain sweeps eastwards. we will see some heavy downpours for a time. that system clearing largely as we head through to the end of the day, out towards western home counties. top temperatures around 12 celsius, so already coming down. overnight tonight, some clear spells around at first and we will start to see some showers follow on behind that weather front. it is still going to be quite windy. temperatures dropping back to single figures. on wednesday, another deep area of low pressure is going to give us very blustery winds and some heavy showers at times, especially through the afternoon. and just before we go, on this evening's programme, we'll be talking about the polio vaccine. an extra jab has been offered to children in the capital aged between one and nine after the virus was found in the sewage system. would you like to know more about how it works? or perhaps why it's needed?

8:33 am
about seven because that was rob burrow�*s shirt number. hang on, kev, we are going to get you to hit it, seven totes from the truck... look, he's gone, so keen to get started. thank you very much. no countdown, he is off. steve cram is with him. a big wave to the crowds. absolutely amazing. we will be catching up with them later and we will tell you all about it on breakfast tomorrow but first, let's look back at the last 24 hours for kev and the rest of the team. as the sun fought against the fog, kevin sinfield's pink trainers appeared through the mist. cheering and applause. the scottish borders have given the team a great welcome. the word is certainly out. thank you very much. not sure about the wigan shirt,
8:34 am
but we'll have to let you off. only kidding, mate. good on you. the ultra 7 in 7 challenge is raising money and awareness. it is smashing both. with each passing mile, people come out to show their admiration. keep going! well done! i it is absolutely amazing, just inspirational, yeah, | i had to come off the farm today just to come and wave _ and spur him on. it is really moving, what he's doing for his friend. and he's got a big hill to run up. i've just driven down it! he is turning heads whenever he runs past. everybody that has been out on the road is absolutely amazing, to come out and support us, it's been incredible.
8:35 am
chris and glenn are setting up refreshments whenever they stop. food is fuel. everybody has been very generous as we are going along the route, donating material and food and so on. very appreciative of what kevin and the team are doing. just to everybody who has turned out for us, thank you very much, it is really appreciated. why have you turned out today? just for support. support - to support. we all know somebody that's had the disease. he is doing a... it's wonderful, what he's doing, wonderful. total inspiration. isn't it? absolutely. you know, we drove up some of those hills. yeah, well, he's got the worst to come. i yeah. this is one of the toughest days for hill climbs. the approach to the border is brutal. bell rings. one of the charities kevin is supporting will build a motor neurone disease centre
8:36 am
at the seacroft hospital in leeds. it will be dedicated to his former team—mate rob burrow. awareness has never been higher about mnd and i think that is down to the trials of kev and rob burrow, who, you know, these people have bravely put out that... you know, they are talking about their condition at the most vulnerable time in their lives. and, yeah, i don't think there's many people in the country now that don't know what mnd is and what a harsh disease it is. kevin, kevin, kevin! on the home straight to 0tterburn at long last, and the most enthusiastic crowd of the day has to go to the children from the local primary school. hooray! car horns beep. 280 miles in a week. what would that be like? that's like my mum and me driving to blackpool or something. well, it gives you exercise. but you'd get very exhausted quickly. he needs to eat about three or four times the normal amount of food. what would that be like?
8:37 am
well, you wouldn't really be full because you would keep on burning the fat off. and is this a blessing or a curse? after 38 miles, to bejoined by former world record—holder and olympian steve cram. you know, absolutely made up to have steve with us. he's a hero of mine and an absolute legend. yeah, i think itjust shows the bigger message around this, that people are really supportive of the mnd community and i can't thank steve enough. thanks, everybody. really kind of you to come out. i'm a bit embarrassed because i've only run a very short distance with him. you were fast, though, weren't you? you were quick. you picked the place up for me. i might have had you at the end of the street! i know, but as i said, you know, this is one of those things which thankfully, it is the spotlight which it draws on it and as the week goes on, i'm sure he's going to get incredible support along the way. thank you again, thank you. i'm going to get in
8:38 am
the ice bath, all right? applause. and he's off, good luck. ice bath done, food eaten, sleep taken, back to it, heading to stjames's park in newcastle and ending the day at the durham cricket ground in chester—le—street. and did i'm a and it is 41 miles? —— did i mention. which is why he was so keen to get going, i suppose. which is why he was so keen to get going, isuppose. we which is why he was so keen to get going, i suppose. we are still with the locals in fine fettle, some people have travelled a long way to get here, and he has come from the canary islands! —— andy has come. jonathan edwards is still with us, we spoke a bit earlier before kev setup, it is that kind of mindset, his career as a player and coach, incredibly successful, all about aggression and power, how do you slip your mind to doing something totally different?— totally different? well, i think as i said when _ totally different? well, i think as i said when he _ totally different? well, i think as i said when he was _ totally different? well, i think as i said when he was here, - totally different? well, i think as i said when he was here, it i totally different? well, i think as i said when he was here, it is i totally different? well, i think as i said when he was here, it is hisj i said when he was here, it is his mate, clearly the relationship he
8:39 am
has with rob burrow something very deep and special and you need a reason to do something and he has got the perfect reason. it must be horrible to see his mate go through what he's going through so nothing is too difficult in order to raise money and awareness for what is a horrible disease. i money and awareness for what is a horrible disease.— horrible disease. i don't know what ou're horrible disease. i don't know what you're training _ horrible disease. i don't know what you're training involved _ horrible disease. i don't know what you're training involved apart i horrible disease. i don't know what you're training involved apart from | you're training involved apart from the triple jump techniques but did you do long distances? what is 40 miles running like a? i will]! you do long distances? what is 40 miles running like a?— miles running like a? i will never know, i miles running like a? i will never know. i don't— miles running like a? i will never know, i don't think _ miles running like a? i will never know, i don't think am _ miles running like a? i will never know, i don't think am i - miles running like a? i will never know, i don't think am i just i know, i don't think am ijust couldn't do it. we were chatting about cross—country at school and how he hated it and i was exactly the same, i would get out of the school gate and put my tracksuit on and walk five miles and that is pretty much what he did. this is not a natural environment, it is not like steve cram who can run forever, he doesn't like running so even a greater achievement to put his body through something which he is not naturally made. white great to see you this morning and thank you for coming and bending your support, let's talk to a couple of the children. let's talk to a couple of the children-— let's talk to a couple of the children. ~ ., i. ~ ., ., children. would you like to run or could ou children. would you like to run or could you run _ children. would you like to run or could you run 40 _ children. would you like to run or could you run 40 miles? - children. would you like to run or could you run 40 miles? no. i children. would you like to run or| could you run 40 miles? no. what children. would you like to run or. could you run 40 miles? no. what is the furthest you have ever run?

8:42 am
1958. both wales and england are flying out to qatar today. george zielinski reports. bags packed and ready to go. gareth bale arriving in wales ahead of the team's departure to qatar. hi. hiya, bud. how are you doing? a chance to reunite with team—mates and staff as the reality of wales' involvement at their first world cup in 64 years starts to sink in. we normally have kind of that build—up into a major tournament, where, yeah, some of the boys were even playing late last night so, um, yeah, it's a bit of a different feeling. but i think, yeah, evenjust having training this morning, the buzz was there. everybody was just that little bit more sharp, that little bit more ready and, yeah, looking forward to getting on the plane and getting out there, and i think then it will really start to sink in and feel like we are really at a world cup. you ok? gareth, how are you, son? 64 years ago, it was the likes of cliffjones and terry medwin leading the line for wales
8:43 am
at a world cup. both met bale to offer words of advice and encouragement. a chance for the team of 2022 to learn a few things from the class of '58. it was great just to get some stories on how they felt, what they kind of went through, and, yeah, justjoking about some of the... there was a story that they came back and somebody was like, "oh, where have you been, on holiday?" and he was like, "no, i'vejust come back from the world cup." so just how times have changed now, where we are followed in the spotlight, to how it was there. it all gets very real from next monday, though, in that first group game against the usa. george zielenski, bbc news, in the vale of glamorgan. england also fly out later today, and last night they had a special visitor at st george's park ahead the prince of wales dropped by to wish them all the best. he's the president of the football association and presented the players with their shirt numbers.
8:44 am
he's previously confirmed he won't be at the world cup for any of the matches because of a busy diary. he also had this message for the england players. i really had to point out that the rest of the country is behind you, and we are all rooting for you. enjoy it. interesting he's going to see the england _ enjoy it. interesting he's going to see the england players. - enjoy it. interesting he's going to see the england players. i- enjoy it. interesting he's going to | see the england players. i wonder might you of aussie the wales team? i dragged he's the prince of wales to bite but there is a princess of wales? do you see what i'm getting at? . , ., ., wales? do you see what i'm getting at? ., , ., ., ., ., " at? that is the video we are looking out for which _ at? that is the video we are looking out for which we _ at? that is the video we are looking out for which we are _ at? that is the video we are looking out for which we are not _ at? that is the video we are looking out for which we are not sure i at? that is the video we are looking out for which we are not sure if i out for which we are not sure if we're going to get. clear conflict because he is going to be rooting for england and wales, i am sure as well but we will see how that plays out. short and sweet, he's rooting for england, we know that for definite. now onto cristiano ronaldo. we have had more of that
8:45 am
interview that he has given come out. he has said the glazers don't care about the club and the sporting front, the owners of manchester united. he of course made headlines yesterday after telling talktv he felt "betrayed" by manchester united and claimed they were trying to force him out. we've now heard ronaldo call united a marketing club focused on money. as well as the glazers, he's taken a swipe at former team—mates wayne rooney and gary neville, who've been critical of him at times, saying they're doing it to be more famous and they're not his friends. talking of potentially strained friendships, this is bruno fernandes, ronaldo's manchester united team—mate, joining up with him and the rest of the portugal team for the world cup. you can make what you want of this short exchange. it's not clear what was said but that video was posted by portugal's social media channels. as for manchester united, they say they'll consider their response to what ronaldo's saying after the full facts have been established, which we assume is once
8:46 am
the interview's gone out in full. england's women need to turn professional if they�* re to close the gap on new zealand and australia in rugby league. that's according to departing head coach craig richards. england's dream of reaching a first ever women's rugby league world cup final were dashed by new zealand in york. new zealand, who turned professional earlier this year, fought back to reach their sixth successive final. they won by 20—6 last night. england captain emily rudge hopes that despite the loss there will be a lasting legacy in this country. what a home world cup it has been for us. we definitely wanted to go that one step further than the semifinals but we are really, really pleased with what we have done in this world cup and we hope that we have inspired the next generation. there are so many young girls in the crowd who, you know, hopefully will take up rugby league as a sport and we can leave that as a legacy after this. disappointment in the end for the women in rugby league but we should
8:47 am
say that the men's wheelchair final, they are through to the rugby league world cup final which will be against france on friday. that has been a brilliant _ against france on friday. that has been a brilliant watch, _ against france on friday. that has been a brilliant watch, hasn't i against france on friday. that has been a brilliant watch, hasn't it? i been a brilliant watch, hasn't it? it has and at least england are through to the final of that competition.— through to the final of that competition. through to the final of that cometition. ., ~ ., ., competition. thank you for 'oining us. straight to the weather now but carol is not alone. good morning. good morning! we were talking about dogs earlier but this pussycat very much looks like he is saying, "i'm not going out in that". it is brightening up in northern ireland and parts of wales and also south—west england. but the rain is continuing to journey steadily eastwards, some heavy morning across parts of leicestershire. it is all connected with these weather fronts which are wrapped around this area of low pressure, assented out in the atlantic. if you look at the squeeze on the isobars, particularly so across the north—east, which tells you we're looking at gusty wind. dusty went ahead and along this where the front, producing all this rain which as i mentioned is now clearing some parts of the west. as
8:48 am
we go through the day, it will continue its journey, we go through the day, it will continue itsjourney, moving northward and eastward, still some heavy bus across parts of north—east england, in three parts of eastern scotland as well. gusty wind ahead of it and on it. the wind easing a little bit behind it but we are still looking at sunshine and blustery showers and some of those could be heavy with the odd rumble of thunder. this gives you an idea of thunder. this gives you an idea of the strength of the wind gusts, also gusty through the english channel and we could have as much as 60 mph gusts in the northern isles a bit later in the day, especially shetland. temperatures, 11—14, so more or less where we would expect them to be at this stage in november. this evening and overnight, the rain clears northern england. it moves north—eastwards across scotland, still gusty wind here and then we have got clear skies and showers and some of them will be heavy. we could hear the odd rumble of thunder in the south—west. a cooler night as well compared to last night. temperatures could easily slip away to two, three or 4
8:49 am
degrees across northern england and central scotland. tomorrow, we start with rain across the north—east but it moves away. then a lot of dry weather, and a few showers around but through the day, what you will find is the cloud will build and the rain will arrive and the wind will strengthen across the far south—west of england. temperatures tomorrow very similar to what we are looking at today. this is the area of low pressure bringing that rain into the south—west. through wednesday night and into thursday, drifting a bit further northwards and eastwards, with rain spiralling around it. look at the isobars, especially in the north sea. thursday, it is going to be windy. on thursday, a low—pressure drifting northwards and eastwards. the rain is moving all the way it. showers following behind. windy, notjust in the north sea but also quite gusty through the english channel and also the northern isles. temperatures about 9-13. thank you. i thought black cats were

8:51 am
within a matter of minutes, because moments later, he delivered this tantalising display of footballing prowess. you have to say that's magnificent. a goal which years later would go on to be named "goal of the century." that very ball which the number 10 used so menacingly is owned by the tunisian referee who took charge of the tie and did not spot the handball. we filmed itjust recently at wembley, on the day it was announced it is being sold at auction. it may have seen better days, but could fetch up to £3 million. the referee picked the ball up at the end of the game and can be seen carrying the ball off, and he popped it in a cupboard and it has been there ever since, for 36 years. he's in his 70s now and decided now is the time to sell. you can see from the coverage that the ball has attracted since we announced it,
8:52 am
just how important it is to people and the history of the world cup. it is only right that hopefully it will go on to be displayed in one of the museums around the country or around the world, really. in the same auction, there are hundreds of other items from across the globe and from days gone by. from england's 1966 victory, there are signed photographs, the mascot world cup willie merchandise... originally minted in 66. ..and someone has already bid thousands of pounds for this 1p piece, said to be the penny used by the referee for the coin toss at that game. this is an argentina shirt from 1986. this '86 argentina shirt is identical to maradona's, which sold for £7 million earlier this year. but number eight, nestor clausen, never played in the quarterfinal, so this is likely to go for a much more modest price. but there is a story that the team bought this strip
8:53 am
during an ad hoc shopping trip, after the shirts they had brought to the tournament were not suitable for the weather in mexico. argentina went out to the '86 world cup with heavy duty shirts. the heat in mexico was too much so they went shopping for a lighter weight kit, just around the sports shops of mexico. the kit man and maradona, who famously saw the blue shirt, said, "i like that one, we will beat england did that." they bought the kit, tacked the argentina badge on, had to make do with some american football style glittery transfer numbers on the back, so that is quite unusual. of course, it is lot no 295 which is causing much excitement, the ball used in that 1986 quarterfinal. this isjust a replica. the real one is at an undisclosed location and its current estimate is £2.5 million—£3 million. although it is a bit battered and no longer inflates,
8:54 am
