6:02 am
after poland said two people were killed by a missile that landed near its border with ukraine. authorities in poland and ukraine say the explosion was caused by russian—made artillery but moscow has denied involvement in the strike. overnight, us presidentjoe biden said it was "unlikely" the missile had been launched from russia. howard johnson has this report. the aftermath of a reported air strike on a polish village close to the border with ukraine that killed two people. poland's president, andrzej duda, has said it's most likely that it was caused by a russian—made missile, but also said that there was no conclusive evidence yet as to who launched the attack. but russia's defence ministry has been quick to refute the claims, saying they amount to a deliberate provocation aimed at escalation. at the g20 meeting of world leaders in bali, indonesia, us presidentjoe biden was asked
6:03 am
if he believed the missile had been fired from russia. there is preliminary information that can test that. i don't want to say that until we completely investigate. it's unlikely in the lines of the trajectory that it was fired from russia, but we'll see. prime minister rishi sunak, who is also at the g20 talks, took to twitter to say he'd spoken to poland's president, adding... the blast in poland came on the same day ukraine says it faced its heaviest wave of missile strikes from russia in nearly nine months of war. there were attacks across the country. most of ukraine's major cities were hit, causing widespread electricity outages. what world leaders decide to do next depends on the work of investigators
6:04 am
still piecing together the series of events that led to the deadly blast. howard johnson, bbc news. we're joined now by karishma vaswani, who's at the g20 summit in bali. morning, karishma. what do we know about what happened during these talks that have been held between world leaders overnight? it was an emergency session held here
6:05 am
at bali at the g20 summit in the early hours, and the mood here has definitely changed, very much matching the gloomy guys behind me in bali. leaders had to discuss the issues they were confronted with after many of them got this news while they were sleeping. g7 countries in bali today are talking about the fact that the investigation must continue before they make any any further assessment about what has happened. it is fair to say that for a lot of asian countries at the g20 summit, it has brought home how much of an image ——
6:06 am
theissue brought home how much of an image —— the issue the global crisis is in ukraine and how it needs a global solution. donald trump has officially launched another bid for the white house saying he plans to run for president in 202a. in front of his crowd, inside his home, donald trump officially announced his comeback. in order to make america great and glorious again, i am tonight announcing my candidacy for the president of the united states. cheering. it was classic trump. he painted america as a dystopia that only he could rescue. this is notjust a campaign, this is a quest to save our country. talking about saving our country. he boasted about his time in office. everybody was thriving like never before. had a go at president biden. now we have a president who falls asleep at global conferences. and hit out at the various legal investigations into him. and i and the victim, i will tell you. i am a victim.
6:07 am
many of donald trump's supporters were celebrating outside mar—a—lago when he made his announcement. he is hugely popular here in his home state. but given that this was his big moment, his speech appeared low in energy. many members of his own party are questioning whether his political influence is fading. many republicans blame him for their party's underwhelming performance in the mid—term elections. most of the candidates mr trump publicly endorsed in crucial races lost. and his potential rival, 44—year—old florida governor rob desantis, had this to say after being called average by mr trump. i think what you learn is all that's just noise. and really what matters is, are you leading, are you getting in front of issues, are you delivering results for people and are you standing up for folks? and if you do that, none of that stuff matters. donald trump's announcement is a way for him to seize early momentum in the race. but there is a long way to go
6:08 am
and with his legal problems mounting, it may impact him both personally and politically. we can speak now to nomia who's in mar—a—lago this morning. how is this going to go down, both within the republican party and the country? within the republican party and the count ? , , ., country? yes, good question. good mornin: country? yes, good question. good morning to — country? yes, good question. good morning to yon — country? yes, good question. good morning to you. in _ country? yes, good question. good morning to you. in terms _ country? yes, good question. good morning to you. in terms of- country? yes, good question. good morning to you. in terms of the - morning to you. in terms of the reaction, president biden was asked if he wanted to comment, on the news that donald trump is running to be in the white house again, and mr biden was pretty blunt, he said, no, not really, didn't want to comment. donald trump's daughter ivanka trump said she would not be getting into politics this time. the american media has been interesting because the main us network did not break into programming to take this speech
6:09 am
live, fox news, which used to be very supportive of donald trump, actually cut away from the speech. there is a very conservative magazine called the national review which has released an opinion piece which has released an opinion piece which is very blunt, a picture of donald trump making his announcement on stage, with the word, no. they do not believe he is worthy of the republican nomination. he is not an unknown quality this time round, twice impeached, accused of inciting a mob and he is seen by the republicans is a bit toxic as they did not perform very well in the mid—term elections. if he wants to get the nomination, he had to get the republican party's backing, and it's widely expected that others will run alongside him.- it's widely expected that others will run alongside him. nomia, watch this sace, will run alongside him. nomia, watch this space. sneak— will run alongside him. nomia, watch this space, speak to _ will run alongside him. nomia, watch this space, speak to you _ will run alongside him. nomia, watch this space, speak to you soon. - the rate of inflation is expected to hit a new forty—year high when the latest uk figures are published in the next hour. energy and food prices have continued to soar in recent months, leaving many people struggling to pay their bills.
6:10 am
our economics correspondent andy verity has been looking into the pressures of rising prices. at this environmentally friendly brewery and pub in stroud in gloucestershire, rhe raw ingredients aren't getting any cheaper. you know, it wasn't long ago when the value of the pound really dropped and overnight the prices went up 10—12%. the devaluation of the pound in the past year means businesses have to pay more in pounds to buy goods priced in dollars or euros, how much do you pay for a bag of these? it varies anywhere between sort of £15 to £40 a kilo. the biggest rise is our power. our raw materials, so malt and hops, cans, labels, they've gone up between 10% and 15%. global inflationary pressure is now coming home in higher wage costs

areas, some in the west will fade through the day before the cloud thickens and a band of rain arrives with the strengthening winds. we have also got some showers around south—west scotland. temperatures peaking between nine and 13 degrees. a more chilly feel despite the sunshine we are looking at. it will cloud over through the day, just ahead of the weather front coming in. this is the strength of the winter you can expect, gusts, blustery inland, strong wind across the northern ireland and the wind is picking up through the day across the english channel. the area of rain is an area of low pressure which will push north and east through the course of the night taking a train with it. strong winds once again, a touch of frost in scotland and northern ireland. tomorrow we have low pressure with is moving north, a few showers coming in behind it but it should brighten up in the far south and
6:16 am
dropped amateur 12 or 13. —— top temperature 12 or 13. let's take a look at today's papers. many of the front pages lead on the explosions in poland, which killed two people. the daily telegraph features a picture at the scene of a farm vehicle lying overturned next to a large crater. the mirror reports that nato will hold crisis talks following the blast. the paper says 100 missiles were fired at ukraine on tuesday. it seems like that has come down a little bit this morning. the guardian's front page features a picture of two—year—old awaab ishak, who died from prolonged exposure to mould in his family's flat. the coroner called it a "defining moment" for the uk's housing sector. and the times reports that gps have been told to bypass hospital doctors and fast—track scans for patients, which could speed up cancer care
6:17 am
and cut down waiting times. looking inside the papers this morning, this one caught my attention. we know that kids today spend more time on screens but this is pretty stark, these figures. one in three children has never written a letter to anybody, not to santa, not to the tooth fairy, nobody. 84% said they would like to receive a letter, they like the idea of it but they have never done it. you letter, they like the idea of it but they have never done it.- they have never done it. you 'ust don't they have never done it. you 'ust don-t write i they have never done it. you 'ust don't write letters i they have never done it. you 'ust don't write letters any i they have never done it. you 'ust don't write letters any more. i they have never done it. you just don't write letters any more. i i don't write letters any more. i guess they have all written an e—mail? do you e—mail centre? guess they have all written an e-mail? do you e-mail centre? maybe ou text? e-mail? do you e-mail centre? maybe you text? 0r— e-mail? do you e-mail centre? maybe you text? 0rjust _ e-mail? do you e-mail centre? maybe you text? orjust upload _ e-mail? do you e-mail centre? maybe you text? orjust upload a _ e-mail? do you e-mail centre? maybe you text? orjust upload a document i you text? orjust upload a document with your spreadsheet request of what you want. it's pretty amazing. do you remember writing your christmas list? find do you remember writing your christmas list?— do you remember writing your christmas list? �* , ., ., christmas list? and we used to have to write a thank _ christmas list? and we used to have to write a thank you _ christmas list? and we used to have to write a thank you letters - christmas list? and we used to have to write a thank you letters as - to write a thank you letters as well. , , ., , | well. very well brought up! i haven't written _ well. very well brought up! i

6:19 am
now, after much anticipation, we could be about to witness the first major step in returning humans to the moon. are we sure? no! after a series of delays, nasa is hoping to successfully launch its artemis i flight test this morning. we can speak now to our science editor, rebecca morelle, who joins us from the goonhilly earth station in cornwall. rebecca, we have been here before, you have been over there, waiting, watching for this to happen, is it finally going to happen now? maybe? don't 'inx finally going to happen now? maybe? don'tjinx it! — finally going to happen now? maybe? don't jinx it! the _ finally going to happen now? maybe? don'tjinx it! the rocket _ finally going to happen now? maybe? don'tjinx it! the rocket is _ finally going to happen now? maybe? don'tjinx it! the rocket is looking - don'tjinx it! the rocket is looking really, really good at the moment. so the rocket is doing its job, there have been a few issues overnight where basically there was a bit of a leak spotted so they sent out a repair team, the red team, to the launch pad to fix it which is quite risky because the rocket is full of fuel, they have done that in
6:20 am
the rocket is looking great. but they have had a bit of a problem at one of the radar stations which will be tracking the rocket, that is a faulty ethernet switch. they have had to repair that. when this rocket goes up you have to track it to see where it is going and this radar station can send a control to the rocket to blow up the rocket if it is veering off course, so it has a very important role. at the moment, that station is not working so they are testing that as we speak. at the moment the rocket is looking good but there is an issue with station that will be tracking the rocket. the launch window has just opened, ten or 15 minutes in, they have got untilfour minutes ten or 15 minutes in, they have got until four minutes past eight to get this rocket up. it feels like everything is going well with the rocket, but there have been delays caused by this problem with the radar station. caused by this problem with the radarstation. i caused by this problem with the radar station. i am caused by this problem with the radar station. iam here caused by this problem with the radar station. i am here at goonhilly, you can see the dish behind me, the reason why i am here
6:21 am
is it is one of the places that will be tracking the spacecraft once it's up be tracking the spacecraft once it's up in the air. this dish behind me will be picking up a signalfrom the spacecraft, and it will be tracking it on its journey and that is really imported to see exactly where it is and how fast it's travelling but they cannot do that until the rocket leaves the ground that it is still on the ground at the moment. people miaht have on the ground at the moment. people might have been _ on the ground at the moment. people might have been wondering _ on the ground at the moment. people might have been wondering that - on the ground at the moment. people might have been wondering that you i might have been wondering that you might have been wondering that you might have been in cornwall on your holidays and can get back to florida! it holidays and can get back to florida! , ., , , florida! it is lovely here, but we are playing _ florida! it is lovely here, but we are playing a — florida! it is lovely here, but we are playing a vital _ florida! it is lovely here, but we are playing a vital role! - florida! it is lovely here, but we are playing a vital role! it - florida! it is lovely here, but we are playing a vital role! it shows the interconnectedness - are playing a vital role! it shows the interconnectedness of- are playing a vital role! it shows the interconnectedness of the l are playing a vital role! it shows - the interconnectedness of the whole mission, countries around the uk playing a vital part. 50 mission, countries around the uk playing a vital part.— mission, countries around the uk playing a vital part. so that launch window is just _ playing a vital part. so that launch window isjust about two - playing a vital part. so that launch window isjust about two hours - playing a vital part. so that launch window isjust about two hours a l window is just about two hours a little bit less, so whatever happens, we will tell you all about it on the programme. ii happens, we will tell you all about it on the programme.— happens, we will tell you all about it on the programme. if not today, one da ! the cost of school uniforms can put a lot of pressure on parents. so when a new law was introduced in england in september to make them more affordable,
6:22 am
it was widely welcomed. however, some charities say changes are not being put into practice quickly enough, and many families are still turning to them for support. caroline bilton reports. it's a church, but it's also home to a charity. above the congregation there are boxes and boxes and boxes of donated school uniforms. we've got over 500 boxes full of clothes. it's just such a huge need in the city for help with the costs of school clothing. and are you seeing that need grow? definitely this year. it's not helped by this. the need for a logo. some schools require more than others. 14 to 15 polo shirts... mum of four, louise, who also volunteers for this charity, knows only too well the pressures that are on parents. there are several schools in this area that want particular material style, fit, length, and all the uniform, including trousers and skirts,
6:23 am
has to have the tiny little logo on it to say the school approves. but this should have changed by now. in september, the government announced new legally binding rules that said branded items should be kept to a minimum and schools should ensure that uniforms are affordable. so the government's changed the rules. you laughed at me when i said that. yeah, because the schools, although they say they're doing it for the pupils, their restrictions, particularly in high school, are getting worse and worse. so many schools have the pe kits in house colours. and it'sjust, it's crazy. it's down to how these rules are interpreted. some expect more than others. and it's a frustration for this charity, which is continuously trying to keep up with growing demand. we're not really seeing any schools that we noticed simplifying their uniform or making it particularly much cheaper. in fact, some schools
6:24 am
we've seen increased the number of logoed items. this charity says it needs more donations, more volunteers, but also an understanding from schools of the impact that their school uniform policies are having on families in need. caroline bilton, bbc news. and if you think about it, school uniform is one of those things, it is so expensive to buy, particularly if you are buying lasers and the kind of thing, but recycling it is a really useful thing that you should be able to do —— buying lasers. different schools and different years in the different family, all needing different bits and pieces. let us know if that is affecting you right now. have you noticed a difference since the rule change in september? has there been a positive
6:25 am
impact or has it gone unnoticed? get in touch in the usual ways. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. it's a big week for the economy with the latest inflation figures due out in around half an hour and the chancellor gearing up for tomorrow's autumn statement. we've been speaking to people in southend about the pressures they are facing. demetris constantinou from a cafe on the seafront says his costs keep going up and up. everything has gone up, everything. the coffee, tea, the salads, the cucumbers, tomatoes. every single thing has gone up. there could be more travel disruption on the way, when the result of the rmt union's latest strike ballot is announced later. if staff working for network rail
6:26 am
and 1a train companies vote in favour, strikes could continue for another six months. they've already taken part in eight days of national strikes this year over pay, job security and working conditions. the london library has announced that helena bonham carter will be its first female president in its 181—year history. she took over from english lyricist and author sir tim rice yesterday. the actress says the library in st james's square is truly a place like no other. let's take a look at the tubes. and there's a part suspension on the overground, but a good service on all the other lines. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning, the unsettled theme is set to continue across the capital as we head through the rest of this week. and now, of course, temperatures are back down closer to the seasonal average. so not as warm as it was. it was quite chilly for a few spots last night with temperatures
6:27 am
dropping back to mid—single figures. the southerly wind is set to pick up this morning. already, a few showers around. mostly towards the south. there will be some dry spells here and there. some bright spells, too. but watch out for showers on and off as we head through much of the day. the cloud thickening from the south—west as we head through the afternoon with our approaching deep area of low pressure. top temperatures of 11—12c. overnight, set to turn wet and windy as this deep area of low pressure moves northwards and eastwards towards the south of the m25. there is a met office weather warning in force for heavy rain. high rainfall totals possibly leading to localised flooding. some very strong, blustery winds as well. that clears mostly by the time we get to tomorrow morning but there will be blustery showers on and off for much of the day on thursday. and finally with children in need coming up on friday, we've been hearing from the projects in london that benefit from your donations. the remark community charity runs camps and clubs for deaf
6:28 am

6:30 am
absolutely are. surrounded by sweet treats. look at this trade, millionaire shortbread. very few of us feel like millionaires, given the pressure on budgets. we get the latest figures out and they will tell us what average price rises were in october, that is the average increase in the cost of goods and services compared with a year earlier. the figure for september was at 10.1%. it means roughly speaking if various things cost £100 a year ago, they would cost you £110 now. compare it with the bank of england target of 2% and it overshoots that massively. we will have the update just after 7am. it is an average which means some things will have gone up even more. food is an example. food inflation is at a a0 year high, rising at
6:31 am
almost 15% year—on—year. wages we found out this week are rising at their fastest pace in 20 years but because of inflation, because things are getting more expensive, it feels like a cut in spending in real terms. the bank of england tried to rein in inflation by putting up interest rates to 3% which puts the pressure on mortgages and borrowing. i can speak to the owner. you have several of these businesses. the millionaire shortbread, it has gone up millionaire shortbread, it has gone up since last year. one millionaire shortbread, it has gone up since last year.— millionaire shortbread, it has gone up since last year. why is that? we have been affected _ up since last year. why is that? we have been affected by _ up since last year. why is that? we have been affected by increases - up since last year. why is that? we l have been affected by increases from manufacturers, from 25% to a0% increase on ingredients. it seems to be constant. we get three or four a month. suddenly you get another letter from the month. suddenly you get another letterfrom the same

hours before wales arrived, england had touched down on the rain bow — a virgin atlantic plane displaying oscar, is lgbt icon in a show of support for inclusivity at a tournament that this team are among the favourites to win. we try not to think about it that far ahead but, of course, that is the dream, that is what we are aiming to do. we will have to wait and see. it is going to be a tough tournament. starting monday, it's going to be a really tough game and we know that, so we have to prepare for that. but i am excited to get going. this is where england will be based as they bid for world cup glory. this luxury seaside resort on the outskirts of doha, the team hotel. but some in the squad are already making a big impression here. harry kane among the top players whose images tower above the city as it prepares to welcome more than1 million fans. both british teams get their world cup campaign under way on monday, but england will be the first to kick off here at the khalifa international stadium against iran. this is the only one of the eight venues that is not new.
6:36 am
this first ever world cup in the middle east costing the hosts an estimated £180 billion. this is an expression of their wealth and their ambition. after a build—up mired in controversy, fifa has launched a star—studded pretournament video with a message of unity. its president even telling the g20 summit in bali that the event could help peace in ukraine. my plea to all of you is to think on a temporary ceasefire for one month for the duration of the world cup, or at least the implementation of some humanitarian corridors. fifa has urged teams to focus on the football. but in a country where being gay is illegal, the us squad showed their support for the lgbt community with a rainbow—themed team logo at their base. and, last night, they invited migrant workers to a training session — another gesture showing how determined some sides here are to champion human rights
6:37 am
as well as the sport. england's women have ended their year unbeaten — a feat that manager sarina wiegman has called incredible. the lionesses won the euros on home soil in the summer, and capped off a successful 12 months with a one—all draw against norway. rachel daly putting them ahead. norway were reduced to ten, but frida maanum equalised late on after a goalkeeping error. it's now 26 matches unbeaten under wiegman, with the world cup on the horizon next summer. there was a victory for northern ireland, who beat italy 1—0 in belfast. sarah mcfadden's goal in the second half providing them with a memorable win over a side ranked nearly a0 places above them in the world standings. novak djokovic looks likely to play in the australian open next year after the country's government overturned his visa ban. the 21—time grand slam champion was detained injanuary after claiming he had a valid medical exemption to not only enter the country, but take part in the competition,

6:39 am
thank you. we will all move over now. here's carol. good morning, a cold start. where we have clear skies, you might run into a pocket of fog. today, sunny spells and showers until rain arrives later. you can see cloud on the picture which are showers. some have had thunder when they went through this morning. cloud to the east. that produced the heavy rain yesterday. it is still ensconced across north—east scotland where it is windy. no pressure is bringing rain today. drifting northwards. windy conditions around it. before a ridge comes into settle things down a little. showers in the west and south this morning. this is the rain heading into the northern isles.
6:40 am
still gusty. for shetland, the next few days and nights, gales and severe gales at times. some showers will fade through the day. in the south—west of england. you will find cloud will build and we will see rain coming in and the wind here will strengthen. 9—13, temperature —wise. a blustery day for most. the wind picking up in the english channel. still looking at gusts in excess of 60 mph across the northern isles. this is low pressure drifting eastwards and northwards taking rain with it through the night. some showers across scotland. pushing further west as we go through the night. and a cold night, particularly in parts of scotland and northern ireland where we are looking at a touch of frost. tomorrow starting with low pressure. rain swirling around it as it pushes
6:41 am
northwards. perhaps the driest and brightest conditions in northern ireland, barshowers. in the brightest conditions in northern ireland, bar showers. in the south, it should brighten up as we go through the day. but still windy through the day. but still windy through the day. but still windy through the english channel and areas adjacent. from thursday into the weekend, low pressure continues to push northwards. eventually arriving across scotland. here we will see rain. again, you can see the rotation around the low pressure. rain in central and eastern scotland and showers towards the west. it will feel nippy on friday. shetland could have gales up to 70 mph and temperatures 9—12. at the weekend, widespread frost, as well. so a lot going on with the weather the next few days. it is a busy morning for you.
6:42 am
39 days until christmas day. the economic uncertainty means many of us will be thinking of making changes to the way we approach the festive season — a time when people generally feel under pressure. cost of living correspondent colletta smith is travelling around the country hearing about the impact these new price pressures are having on old traditions. engine revs. these are my wheels for the next little while. as i travel around chatting to people about what exactly they are doing during this cost of living squeeze. how they are managing, what are they doing with their friends, their family, their communities, how they are making ends meet.
6:43 am
my first stop is down the road in the town of portishead. and, unbelievably, there is a rainbow. what an amazing sign. and it could not be more appropriate because this town has made a thing of lighting up the sky. like so many towns, council cuts have pulled the plug on the christmas lights. but, here, they have taken things into their own hands. look at this. look at this! and they are not doing things by halves. the good thing about this is we have got it so organised. that is better than my house. even my one string of lights is always in a total mess. imagine over a mile of cable. wow. the average spend is between £20,000 and £25,000 a year. a lot of that money comes from donations from the local public, sponsorship from local businesses and then any fundraising we can do through events. every single bulb on display is now
6:44 am
led, which brings down the cost of electricity massively. how would santa find portishead otherwise? fair enough. without this massive neon blue sign. without this massive neon blue sign saying this is portishead. he would get lost on the way. 85—year—old jack is the man in charge of fitting a lot of bulbs. what would you give me out of ten? you're the expert. ten out of ten. oh, thanks. jack is one of dozens of volunteers who will be lighting up this town in a couple of weeks. lots of places say the council should be funding that, we need that government money coming in there, but, actually, you have proved that it is not always necessary. it doesn't have to be an expensive thing like we have got here going. you can start off simple. you find everybody's keen to help, aren't they? we like to think we are helping not just people's spirits, _ but local businesses, as well. and, yeah, just have fun. it is back in the carfor me. oh, no, i've taken the wrong road.
6:45 am
if i can find the right route, i am off over the river severn to wales. that is a fab view. in cardiff, they are already getting the city geared up for christmas. but that is harder for a lot of people to say when it comes to their own finances. i am here to meet someone who has managed to save a little extra each month with the local credit union. last year wasn't a pleasant christmas, personally, but this year is going to be a better one because i have been able to budget better. by putting a way that £25 a month is peace of mind. because i know if anything breaks down in my flat, i have a back—up without having to ask my bank, or what i call unreasonable lenders. helen works full—time but has just got an extra job for 16 hours a week in a shop. you are kind of saying it has been a good, healthy moment for you to look at your finances and say... to get them sorted? yes, most definitely. and that is the question for the cost of living. do i need it?
6:46 am
no, i don't need it. i want it but i don't need it. and you don't miss it. instead of that extra bottle of wine that month, put £10 away in a credit union. right, all right. you've convinced me. i'm heading back towards gloucestershire and the english border. but at teatime in chepstow, everyone is thinking of ways to cut back in the run—up to christmas. just trying to be more creative with what we do, whether it is free things for the kids and activities, rather than spending money on going out and about more. me and my husband normally do presence but we are not this year. so you have agreed no presence? so you have agreed no presents? no presents, just the little ones, then making sure we have a nice day, to be honest. i am fuelled up and on the road again with plenty of inspiration to make the big day a bit more affordable this year. colletta smith, bbc news.
6:47 am

6:53 am
and it was timely, as ultramarathon number three started with a tough slog on saturated and isolated roads. so a leeds rhinos shirt, kevin sinfield and rob burrow�*s former team, was a welcome sight. i thought i would come and see if i could tag along a little bit. show him some support. because i imagine when you pitch up in the middle of the cold out here and just seeing anything familiar and things like that, it would be good for him, good for morale. the team are supported by experts in sports science and nutrition. i am just mixing up some more energy drinks for kev and the other two runners. it was a really hard start this morning and they have drunk quite a lot more of the carb drink than we planned for, so just making sure they have enough for the next 30—odd k. cheering.

the great north run, but this is great — a great north run. they go way back. many years ago, i was the chancellor at leeds met university, and kevin, i presented him with his degree. he was a top student. he was top of the year, he was fantastic. you have got to admire a man like him, and sport throwing up a character like him is great for sport. it is great for rugby league, but it is great for the charity they are raising money for. these are the women's, men's and wheelchair rugby league world cups. kev will next see the men's trophy at the old trafford final on saturday. but that is not until he has completed another four ultramarathons, of course. kev will enter the stadium with his support team. i think that is going to be a really special moment and the end of yet another incredible feat of human endurance. another tick in the icon box as he ran across the tyne bridge.

to save his country. america's comeback starts right now. cheering. it's just five days until the start of the football world cup. england and wales both land in qatar ahead of their opening games on monday. a chilly start to the day—to—day but for most of us it is going to be with sunshine, some showers in the forecast which will be heavy and arrange sweeps of the south—west later, accompanied by strengthening winds. —— rain it sweeps into the south—west later. it's wednesday, the 16th of november. some breaking news this morning. new figures show the rate of inflation hit 11.1% in the 12 months to october. ben is at a bakery in gloucester this morning to explain more.
7:06 am
it is more than most economists were expecting, and the highest rate of price growth in at least a0 years. ben, we are hearing this is driven by food and fuel?— by food and fuel? yes, that's exactly it- — by food and fuel? yes, that's exactly it. there _ by food and fuel? yes, that's exactly it. there are - by food and fuel? yes, that's exactly it. there are many i by food and fuel? yes, that's i exactly it. there are many layers by food and fuel? yes, that's - exactly it. there are many layers to the data that we get but in the last few minutes we have heard the average price rises were 11.1% in october. roughly speaking, that means that a range of goods and services cost you £100 a year ago, they would now cost you £111, that it was essentially what inflation is. the rises driven by an increase in the cost of food and fuel. it was expected to go up in october because the energy prices went up in october. there is help for households and businesses, some of those rises have been limited, but they are starting to feed through. if it costs more to produce and make
7:07 am
things and transport them, those prices get passed on to us of the things we buy day today. this is the increase on the figure of september, 11.1% in october. it is way above the bank of england target of 2%, which is seen as a healthy rate of inflation, the sign of a growing economy. this is way above that, and when inflation is above target, the bank of england tends to increase interest rates to rein it in. they are currently at 3% and if it goes up are currently at 3% and if it goes up even more, that tends to put pressure on households, makes mortgages more expensive, makes borrowing more expensive, loans, credit cards and so on. tomorrow the chancellor outlines his plans for tax rises and spending cuts, and we find out how he is going to try and deal with the cost of living pressures that this inflation rate really highlights.—
7:08 am
pressures that this inflation rate really highlights. thank you very much, we will _ really highlights. thank you very much, we will come _ really highlights. thank you very much, we will come back- really highlights. thank you very much, we will come back to i really highlights. thank you very much, we will come back to you| really highlights. thank you very i much, we will come back to you for more analysis on those figures in the next hour. it confirms what a lot of people have been feeling in daily life over the last few weeks. everything is getting more expensive. world leaders have been holding emergency talks at the g20 summit after poland said two people were killed by a missile that landed near its border with ukraine. authorities in poland and ukraine say the explosion was caused by russian—made artillery but moscow has denied involvement in the strike. overnight, us presidentjoe biden said it was unlikely the missile had been launched from russia. howard johnson has this report. the aftermath of a reported air strike on a polish village close to the border with ukraine that killed two people. poland's president, andrzej duda, has said it's most likely that it was caused by a russian—made missile, but also said that there was no conclusive evidence yet
7:09 am
as to who launched the attack. but russia's defence ministry has been quick to refute the claims, saying they amount to a deliberate provocation aimed at escalation. at the g20 meeting of world leaders in bali, indonesia, us presidentjoe biden was asked if he believed the missile had been fired from russia. there is preliminary information that can test that. i don't want to say that until we completely investigate. it's unlikely in the lines of the trajectory that it was fired from russia, but we'll see. prime minister rishi sunak, who is also at the g20 talks, took to twitter to say he'd spoken to poland's president, adding... the blast in poland came on the same day ukraine says it faced its heaviest wave of missile strikes from russia in nearly
7:10 am
nine months of war. there were attacks across the country. most of ukraine's major cities were hit, causing widespread electricity outages. what world leaders decide to do next depends on the work of investigators still piecing together the series of events that led to the deadly blast. howard johnson, bbc news. we can speak to danjohnson who is in poland, half an hour from the scene of the strike. we're joined now by our security correspondent frank gardner to talk through the significance of these events. good morning, frank. more information emerging through the night. what is the likelihood that this was a deliberate attack on the part of russia?— part of russia? very low. this is not the trigger _ part of russia? very low. this is not the trigger for _ part of russia? very low. this is not the trigger for world - part of russia? very low. this is not the trigger for world war i part of russia? very low. this isj not the trigger for world war iii. there was a lot of fear last night that this could be possibly something which would trigger
7:11 am
something which would trigger something called article five of nato, which is the clause where one country in nato is attacked, it calls for the mutual defence of all the other countries come to its aid, its defence. that is not going to be the case here. almost certainly the early indications are that this was an accidental strike, almost certainly a ukrainian air defence missile fired at some of the barrage of russian missiles coming in in ukraine, and that michelle —— missile went astray. the complicating factor is the ukrainian air defence missiles are of russian designs and there is cross over there. russia has denied it but they often deny it hitting civilian targets. the fact is, this would not have happened if ukraine wasn't coming under intense attack from the barrage of 90 russian missiles fired yesterday at a target all over ukraine, mostly civilian targets.
7:12 am
that is not going to be the trigger that calls in nato to defend here. that is calming, a lot of people thinking this would escalate quickly. the response of the international community especially at the g20 summit is crucial, how they react to this? the at the g20 summit is crucial, how they react to this?— at the g20 summit is crucial, how they react to this? the g7 have been re they react to this? the g7 have been pretty unanimous — they react to this? the g7 have been pretty unanimous in _ they react to this? the g7 have been pretty unanimous in condemning i they react to this? the g7 have been. pretty unanimous in condemning this, 620, a pretty unanimous in condemning this, g20, a little pretty unanimous in condemning this, 620, a little bit pretty unanimous in condemning this, g20, a little bit more diluted, because that includes countries that don't necessarily share the wet�*s views on russia. so, china, for example, has been essentially sitting on the sidelines of this, reluctant to condemn russia. but clearly unhappy at any kind of escalation. france has said it is absolutely essential that we find out what caused this, that we should be very wary of any escalation. on paper, this is an alarming escalation, it means the expansion
7:13 am
of the war beyond the ukraine borders. if we take the assumption that this was an accidental strike, it's very important that, what was it's very important that, what was it aimed at? there was nobody aiming at military targets inside a nato country, that would have been escalate to ri and that has not happened. that is some reassurance to people. happened. that is some reassurance to --eole. ., .. happened. that is some reassurance to --eole. ., ~' , happened. that is some reassurance to --eole. ., ,, , . to people. thank you very much, frank. donald trump has officially launched another bid for the white house confirming he plans to run again for president in 202a. he made the announcement from his mar—a—lago estate in florida overnight, vowing that "america's comeback starts right now." our north america correspondent, nomia iqbal reports. in front of his crowd, inside his home, donald trump officially announced his comeback. america's comeback starts right now. cheering
7:14 am
it was classic trump. he painted america as a dystopia that only he could rescue. this is notjust a campaign, this is a quest to save our country. talking about saving our country. he boasted about his time in office. everybody was thriving like never before. had a go at president biden. now we have a president who falls asleep at global conferences. and hit out at the various legal investigations into him. and i am a victim, i will tell you. i am a victim. many of donald trump's supporters were celebrating outside mar—a—lago when he made his announcement. he is hugely popular here in his home state. but given that this was his big moment, his speech appeared low in energy. many members of his own party are questioning whether his political influence is fading. many republicans blame him for their party's underwhelming performance in the mid—term elections. most of the candidates
7:15 am
mr trump publicly endorsed in crucial races lost. and his potential rival, aa—year—old florida governor ron desantis, had this to say after being called average by mr trump. i think what you learn is all that'sjust noise. and really what matters is, are you leading, are you getting in front of issues, are you delivering results for people and are you standing up for folks? and if you do that, none of that stuff matters. donald trump's announcement is a way for him to seize early momentum in the race. but there is a long way to go and with his legal problems mounting, it may impact him both personally and politically. nomia iqbal, bbc news. it is quarter past seven, let's go straight to carol with the weather and beautiful picture once again. good morning, yes, lovely weather
7:16 am
watcher picture from scarborough, clear skies which means it will be a chilly start to the day. 1 degrees in glasgow and edinburgh, five in belfast, six in manchester. we have got clear skies and so it will be a sunny start as well. we might find the odd pocket of mist and fog but it will not last two long. showers fringing into eastern parts of northern ireland, it is a dry start. across northern england you might see the odd pocket of mr but it should lift but as we come south, there are a few showers in wales and southern england. offshore they have been quite thundery. showers will tend to fade as we go through the course of the morning the cloud will build and in will come some rain. a blustery day wherever you are with the wind strengthening with the band of rain through the english channel, and we are looking at strong winds and we are looking at strong winds and glasgow shetland. these are the afternoon temperatures, nine to 11 degrees. this evening and overnight,
7:17 am
a band of rain pushing north and east, winding around in the north sea and across shetland. a chilly night, in parts of scotland and northern ireland we could see a touch of frost. we pick up the area of low pressure as it continues to drift northwards tomorrow, when the coast of northern scotland, very windy in shetland and the north—east. the north—east. the driest and brightest conditions in northern ireland and it will brighten up later across the far south of england. highs up to 11, so you will notice the change in the weather. thank you very much. there are calls for an overhaul to the housing standards system in england after a coroner concluded the death of a toddler in his family's flat was directly linked to mould exposure. two—year—old awaab ishak died in 2020 from a severe respiratory condition. his father had repeatedly
7:18 am
raised complaints with rochdale boroughwide housing, but no action was taken. phil mccann has this report. the coroner said the death of awaab ishak should be a defining moment for the housing sector. this is the damp and mould that killed awaab. his family had been complaining about it for years. his dad had been told to paint over it, which he did, but that wasn't enough to stop awaab developing a lung condition which is extremely rare in young people. yesterday a coroner found that the only developed that condition because he had been exposed to the mould and damp in his home for his whole short life. the past two years have been gruelling. when awaab died, our lives changed forever. we cannot tell you how many health professionals we have cried in front of. and rochdale borough housing staff we have pleaded expressing concern for the conditions ourselves and awaab have been living in. this is where awaab's family had been living ever since his dad moved
7:19 am
here to rochdale from sudan in 2016. the coroner found the ishak family home here wasn't equipped for day—to—day living. that's despite the fact that rochdale boroughwide housing had previously blamed family's lifestyle on the mould, which eventually killed their son. the inquest heard the mould and damp was there because of bad ventilation, not the family's lifestyle. a legal claim meant no remedial action was taken, the coroner said it should have been. in response to the verdict, the housing association's chief executive said that he is truly devastated about awaab's death and the things that he said they got wrong. he added, we must make sure this can never happen again. awaab's death needs to be a wake—up call for everyone in housing, social care and health. but the housing secretary has called that chief executive to stand down. it seems to be inconceivable that the chief executive of a housing association, earning north of £150,000, who is responsible for decent homes in rochdale, the fact that this case was raised by awaab's father years ago, the fact that he had to get a solicitor on the case in order
7:20 am
to try to make sure that he and his family were living in a decent home, the fact that they did nothing and hid behind procedure, i mean, honestly, it beggars belief that this guy is still in office. he is coming here in order to explain to me why it was that the tragedy was allowed to happen. but are the ishaks alone? in the block where they lived, yesterday i spoke to one woman who didn't want to appear on camera but she sent me these photos of the mould in her home. she said that she has been raising it with rochdale boroughwide for years as well. the coroner looking into awaab's death ask the question when she delivered her verdict which many others are asking. she said, how in the uk, in 2020, does a two—year—old child die from exposure to mould in his home? phil mccann, bbc news, rochdale. a desperate story. we're joined now from west london by polly neate, the chief executive of the housing charity, shelter. and here in the studio, gp dr helen wall. morning to you both. polly, if i could come to you first of all, so
7:21 am
desperately sad to read the awful details of this case yesterday. how surprised were you to hear about this and how common are situations like this? i this and how common are situations like this? ., , , , , �* like this? i mean, surprised isn't the word. _ like this? i mean, surprised isn't the word. is _ like this? i mean, surprised isn't the word, is it? _ like this? i mean, surprised isn't the word, is it? it _ like this? i mean, surprised isn't the word, is it? it is _ like this? i mean, surprised isn't the word, is it? it isjust- the word, is it? it isjust appalling. and tragic, words aren't good enough, really. so, of course, it is very shocking. i mean, surprised is not the word because at shelter, my colleagues are dealing with people living in appalling conditions, unlivable conditions, in both social housing and private renting. every single day. this is our daily caseload at shelter. so i cannot say i am surprised by the conditions that this poor little boy and his family were living in, no. one of the things that awaab's
7:22 am
family said is that the housing authorities were not proactive on theissue authorities were not proactive on the issue of the mould, where they were living. it is something that is now overlooked?— were living. it is something that is now overlooked? well, look, there has been a — now overlooked? well, look, there has been a lot _ now overlooked? well, look, there has been a lot of— now overlooked? well, look, there has been a lot of talk— now overlooked? well, look, there has been a lot of talk about - now overlooked? well, look, there has been a lot of talk about this i has been a lot of talk about this being a wake—up call for housing. one might have thought grenville would have been that —— the grenfell tower would have been that but five years later, another appalling tragedy which has shocked everyone in the country. but it's the systemic neglect of social housing and social housing tenants. there are complex causes behind it is, it's not about excuses. it's about the fact of resourcing of sector. it's deeply under resourced, and, also, a culture in which tenants up to view views are not taken sufficiently seriously. the government a chilly has brought forward the social housing
7:23 am
regulation bill which we have been working on with grenfell survivors for some time. that bill will ensure, particularly with amendment in the lords that have gone in, that we will get proper off�*s textile inspections of social homes, and thatis inspections of social homes, and that is really important —— proper ofsted style inspections. but the government need to act on private renting as well because they have been promising the renter reform bill for a long time and that legislation needs to come forward as a matter of urgency to protect all tenants. these sorts of conditions, i don't like to say it but they are disgustingly common in this country. polly, thank you for now. let's turn to helen and talk about the health implications of this. mould looks horrible, doesn't it, everybody thinks it is horrible, but a lot of people will have been surprised to

support people, with learners, whether it is a private renting land or a social landlord. but the ultimate answer to this is that housing needs to be a political priority, and it has not been for decades. we need new decent high quality social homes, that is going to require investment. and we need proper regulation and proper rights for tenants in both social housing sectors and the private rental sector. ~ ., ., ., sector. we have to leave it there but thank you — sector. we have to leave it there but thank you very _ sector. we have to leave it there but thank you very much - sector. we have to leave it there but thank you very much for - sector. we have to leave it there i but thank you very much for talking to us, polly and helen. nasa took a huge step forward in its plan to return humans to the moon this morning with the successful launch of its artemis 1 test rocket. finally, it has happened! we have reported on the attempted take—offs on the last few weeks. it comes after a series of delays in recent weeks. let's get reaction now from our science editor, rebecca morelle, whojoins us

7:29 am
then the mission lasts for 26 days. spacecraft will leave the earth's orbit, start heading to the moon, it will take a few days to get there, it will do an orbit around the moon and then come back to earth, landing on the 11th of december. no astronauts on board this time, this is a test flight, this is a really important thing to say. it marks the start of humanity's returned to the moon because if this goes well, the next thing we will see is astronauts getting on board and heading to the moon which will be an incredible sight. it moon which will be an incredible si . ht. moon which will be an incredible siuht. ., .. moon which will be an incredible siuht. ., ,, i. moon which will be an incredible siuht. ~ " g. , moon which will be an incredible silht, ., ~' i, , . sight. it will, thank you very much indeed. sight. it will, thank you very much indeed- the _ sight. it will, thank you very much indeed. the lord _ sight. it will, thank you very much indeed. the lord has _ sight. it will, thank you very much indeed. the lord has brought - sight. it will, thank you very much indeed. the lord has brought you | indeed. the lord has brought you live on the programme —— the launch was brought to you live on the programme half—an—hour ago. was brought to you live on the programme half-an-hour ago. finally, artemis is up — programme half-an-hour ago. finally, artemis is up there _ programme half-an-hour ago. finally, artemis is up there somewhere, - programme half-an-hour ago. finally, artemis is up there somewhere, price| artemis is up there somewhere, price is also going up, the latest inflation figures bringing to you soon. a very good morning from bbc london, i“m alice salfield. the latest inflation

figures have been published in the last half an hour, showing prices rose by 11.1% in the year to october. we've been speaking to people in southend about the pressures they“re facing with prices climbing at their highest rate for a0 years. demetris constantinou from a cafe on the seafront says his costs just keep rising. everything has gone up, everything. the coffee, tea, the salads, the cucumbers, tomatoes. every single thing has gone up. gps are being urged to send thousands more people directly for scans in a bid to speed up cancer diagnoses. nhs england is asking doctors to order more ultrasounds, brain mris and ct scans for vague symptoms that fall outside the current two—week cancer referral to see a specialist. it“s hoped the new guidance will free up thousands of hospital appointments and cut waiting times. there could be more travel disruption on the way, when the result of the rmt union's

latest strike ballot“s announced later. if staff working for network rail and 1a train companies vote in favour, strikes could continue for another six months. they've already taken part in eight days of national strikes this year over pay, job security and working conditions. staying with travel let's take a look at the tubes. and there are severe delays on the overground. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning, the unsettled theme is set to continue across the capital as we head through the rest of this week. and now, of course, temperatures are back down closer to the seasonal average. so not as warm as it was. it was quite chilly for a few spots last night with temperatures dropping back to mid—single figures. the southerly wind is set to pick up this morning. already, a few showers around. mostly towards the south. there will be some dry spells here and there. some bright spells, too. but watch out for showers on and off
7:32 am
as we head through much of the day. the cloud thickening from the south—west as we head through the afternoon with our approaching deep area of low pressure. top temperatures of 11—12c. overnight, set to turn wet and windy as this deep area of low pressure moves northwards and eastwards towards the south of the m25. there is a met office weather warning in force for heavy rain. high rainfall totals possibly leading to localised flooding. some very strong, blustery winds as well. that clears mostly by the time we get to tomorrow morning but there will be blustery showers on and off for much of the day on thursday. finally, with children in need coming up on friday, we've been hearing from the projects in london that benefit from your donations. the remark community charity runs camps and clubs for deaf children in north london. i get to see my friends, i meet them, i play games with them, and when i go out, i have fun, i do new activities and make new friends.
7:33 am
please let us know if you're planning any fundraising. i will be back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. it's been confirmed that uk inflation hit 11.1% in the 12 months to october. that's the highestjump in price rises in a1 years. let's get reaction from ben, who is in gloucester this morning. good morning. good morning. we have been waiting to find out the figure and we can fill in the gap now. 11.1%. that is the inflation rate which is the rate at which prices
7:34 am
for average goods and services we typically spend money on has gone up compared with a year earlier and roughly speaking it means if you spend £100 on things this time a year ago, they would now cost £111. it is an average so somethings will have gone up by than that. food is a good example. food inflation is running at almost 15%, the fastest rate of increase for a0 years. although wages are rising at the fastest rate in 20 years, because of this rise in prices, it is a real terms wage cut for most. when inflation is so far above the bank —— bank of england target of 2%, the bank raises interest rates to try to bring that down. that increases the cost of mortgages, credit cards, and
7:35 am
borrowing with a further squeeze on budgets. we can find out how it is affecting businesses. we are in gloucester. we can speak to the business development manager of for this chain. what kind of decisions are you having to make because of the rate of inflation? brute are you having to make because of the rate of inflation?— the rate of inflation? we have to make big decisions _ the rate of inflation? we have to make big decisions and - the rate of inflation? we have to make big decisions and a - the rate of inflation? we have to make big decisions and a main l the rate of inflation? we have to i make big decisions and a main one is to put up prices. that is difficult. we do not want to do it but we are forced to. , ., , , ., i. forced to. give a sense of where you feel the cost — forced to. give a sense of where you feel the cost pressure _ forced to. give a sense of where you feel the cost pressure most? - feel the cost pressure most? multiple factors. the main being energy. we see over £a00,000 increase on energy prices across the business and we have to find money to pay for that which is an additional cost that is not factored in. with fewer and ingredients costs, which is happening on a day—to—day basis and multiple

7:38 am
from winning the hosting rights 12 years ago, right through to the concerns over qatar's human rights record. this is a world cup like no other, asjohn watson reports. the 2022 fifa world cup is qatar. it is one of the most controversial world cups in history. from the start, allegations of corruption — had fifa executives been bribed into awarding the tournament to qatar? despite no evidence to prove it, questions remained. was the country trying to mask its human rights record with the staging of this tournament? it's been reported 6,500 migrant workers have died since qatar won the right to host the world cup. the qatari government claimed there were just 37 deaths at world cup stadium construction sites, butjust three of those were work—related. the figure of 6,500 is not accurate in terms of the number of workers who have died on world cup sites or even for work—related reasons.
7:39 am
it's really looking at the overall number of south asian nationals who have died over a ten—year period. that said, we know that the government of qatar is not in a position to present what is the actual number of work—related deaths in one year going back ten years. many people living in qatar do not benefit from the freedoms enjoyed by many living here in the uk. same—sex marriage is not recognised and gay people face arrest or evenjail. the fa say they've been given assurances that lgbtq+ fans will not be arrested for holding hands or kissing in public. i think the world cup itself will probably pass without incident, because the qataris have an interest in sports washing and protecting their reputation. but the damage is done. lgbt fans are already staying away and also many other groups, whether it's women's rights or migrant workers who are not protected during this world cup. qatar has strict controls on alcohol, but drinking will be permitted at stadiums on match days

and in fan zones, as liverpool fans experienced when doha staged the club world cup final three years ago. it will be a different experience forfans, but concerns over the welcome they“ll receive have been heightened following comments on homosexuality made by a world cup ambassador. but do you think gay is haram? it's haram. because why is it haram? it's haram why? because of damage in the mind. despite widespread criticism, organisers have insisted from the start it will be an inclusive world cup. experience the middle east, experience who we are in our entirety, who we are as people. leaving aside what they see in the news. leaving aside the stereotype, the concepts that have unfortunately been embedded in people's minds, for them to actually see us as a people.
7:41 am
very, very similar in many ways and different in other ways. but to celebrate the differences and be able to enjoy the similarities. after the bid was won 12 years ago, many wondered how this largely desert state, with searing temperatures and little footballing history, could stage a world cup. as we prepare for the first ever winter tournament in the middle east, we're about to find out. john watson, bbc news. we are joined now by our sports correspondent natalie pirks who is in doha. we are hearing about the protracted build—up with all the issues. what is the feeling on the ground now that you have arrived?— is the feeling on the ground now that you have arrived? good morning. i soke to that you have arrived? good morning. i spoke to a — that you have arrived? good morning. i spoke to a couple _ that you have arrived? good morning. i spoke to a couple of— that you have arrived? good morning. i spoke to a couple of locals _ i spoke to a couple of locals yesterday who are incredibly excited. they welcomed us to doha. they said they cannot wait for the football to get going, they have
7:42 am
been welcoming. there is a glossy spin here. everywhere you go, you could not fail to know the world cup was happening in qatar. banners everywhere, footballers along the side of skyscrapers. it has been done well in terms of making it look like the world cup has finally come to the middle east. if you listen to radio, every story is relentlessly positive, trying to drown out the noise incoming from the rest of the world. there is construction everywhere. everywhere you look, they are putting the finishing touches on here. this is certainly not ready yet. i think that is symptomatic of the fact that around 1.2, 1.7 symptomatic of the fact that around 1.2,1.7 million are expected here in the next four weeks. this is a country with a population ofjust under 3 million, so half the population of the country will be here in the next four weeks and i think it will get rather crowded. ii
7:43 am
think it will get rather crowded. if we talk about the football and look at england and wales. england may have hoped for greater things a year ago but their form have hoped for greater things a year ago but theirform has dipped. for wales, the first world cup in 6a years. those feelings do not get much better. years. those feelings do not get much better-— years. those feelings do not get much better. , . ., , ., much better. absolutely, wales got the heroes' — much better. absolutely, wales got the heroes' send _ much better. absolutely, wales got the heroes' send off— much better. absolutely, wales got the heroes' send off yesterday - much better. absolutely, wales got the heroes' send off yesterday and i the heroes“ send off yesterday and arrived in the early hours. they are on a run of form. they have not won since beating ukraine to reach the world cup but they will be excited to get going and fate would have put them in the same group as england. england, expectations slightly dampen. they have done remarkably well in tournaments. getting to the semifinal in russia and the final in euros. they are on their worst run of form since 1958. —— wales, and
7:44 am
for both teams, when they kick off, it will be a different moment in time for both, but they will both want to get out of that group and see how far they can go. we have seen wales go on brilliant runs in tournaments. england, there is an expectation they will at least get past the quarters. gareth southgate said not making the final would be a disappointment. when the football starts, fifa will hope we stop talking about these kinds of things. that will not happen. england tomorrow will invite migrant workers tomorrow will invite migrant workers to train with them as the usa did. and in wales, wearing armbands in solidarity with lgbtq+. solidarity with lg btq+. homosexuality solidarity with lgbtq+. homosexuality is banned here. and these quiet shows of defiance i think will continue from both players and fans. if fifa think they are going to be quiet, i think that
7:45 am
is wishful thinking.— is wishful thinking. thank you. encland is wishful thinking. thank you. england play _ is wishful thinking. thank you. england play iran _ is wishful thinking. thank you. england play iran and - is wishful thinking. thank you. england play iran and their- is wishfulthinking. thank you. - england play iran and their manager has also given the go—ahead to players to make a demonstration about what is going on in iran at the moment. i think we will see football but issues front and centre. we will continue to talk about wales. after decades of defeat and disappointment, the wales football team have arrived in qatar for their first world cup in 6a years. ahead of the tournament, a new bbc series looks at the squad“s transformation from international also—rans to serious contenders — including that remarkable run at the 2016 european championships. let's take a look. i knew we“d take a lot of supporters, i didn't realise how much we would take. so we fly into brittany in the night before. the staff have collected a video
7:46 am
of all our families and friends saying good luck messages. so that was quite emotional. we go to bed. my eyes open, and i can hear noise and i get up in my boxers, i draw the curtains back and, honestly, there was thousands of red shirts. just a sea of red, and i was like, "jesus, let us sleep, then, if you want us to win the game!" and they were bouncing. all the lads were like, this is insane. they're out there now. i know everyone says probably their own fans are the best, but literally no one beats our fans. the passion, the togetherness, it's just hard to explain. even we feel it as players. it was like being in cardiff city centre. couldn't see the concrete for red. and the noise, and i'm getting on the bus, and the lads are calm, and i end up going, come on! i don't even know who said it, i could hear them saying, telling us to keep calm, look at the state of him! i couldn't help it, it wasjust like, just went along with it. just the noise and atmosphere.
7:47 am

give you one example, these rum truffles where £1 80 this time last year, they are now £2 20. that is one example. the driving up of the average prices has been pushed up by the increasing cost of food and energy, in october we saw the new energy, in october we saw the new energy prices rise notjust for households but for businesses like this one here in gloucester. why does it matter? when the bank of england looks at inflation, it wants it to sit at about 2%, that is the sign of a healthy economy that is growing and putting onjobs and people are making more money, business is making more money, people getting higher wages. when in his way above that, it means that the cost of things is going up faster than people's wages so people feel poorer. budgets are squeezed, businesses do not invest, it's harder for businesses do not invest, it's harderfor them businesses do not invest, it's harder for them to give pay rises. this bakery for example, their energy bills have doubled each

8:14 am
next few days and nights across shetland, where we are looking at gales or severe gales. ten to 13 degrees in blustery winds. tonight we have got all of this rain coming in across southern areas, the wind will be picking up in the english channel. ahead of it across the midlands we will see more cloud developed. into northern england, scotland and northern ireland, mostly dry bar the showers in the north—west. affronting the northern isles will be slipping towards some north—eastern parts of england —— a front in the northern isles. under clear skies in northern ireland and scotland, cool enough for a touch of frost. an area of low pressure will just north tomorrow, heavy rains across northern england and east anglia, it should brighten up across southern england by one or two showers. northern ireland having a relatively decent stay with a fair
8:15 am
bit of sunshine by one or two showers and temperatures nine to 11, but it will feel chilly because the temperatures are tempered by the wind. frost, first and we have heard that for a bit. we have had a lot of response to our next story, talking about the cost of school uniforms. they can get desperately expensive and put a lot of pressure on parents. when a new law was introduced it was widely welcomed to make them more affordable. some charity tell us the changes are not being put into practice quickly enough by schools and many families are turning to them for support. it's a church, but it's also home to a charity. above the congregation
8:16 am
there are boxes and boxes and boxes of donated school uniforms. we've got over 500 boxes full of clothes. it's just such a huge need in the city for help with the costs of school clothing. and are you seeing that need grow? definitely this year. it's not helped by this. the need for a logo. some schools require more than others. 14 to 15 polo shirts... mum of four, louise, who also volunteers for this charity, knows only too well the pressures that are on parents. there are several schools in this area that want particular material style, fit, length, and all the uniform, including trousers and skirts, has to have the tiny little logo on it to say the school approves. but this should have changed by now. in september, the government announced new legally binding rules that said branded items should be kept to a minimum and schools should ensure that uniforms are affordable. so the government's changed the rules. you laughed at me when i said that. yeah, because the schools, although they say they're doing it for the pupils,
8:17 am
their restrictions, particularly in high school, are getting worse and worse. so many schools have the pe kits in house colours. and it'sjust, it's crazy. it“s down to how these rules are interpreted. some expect more than others. and it's a frustration for this charity, which is continuously trying to keep up with growing demand. we're not really seeing any schools that we noticed simplifying their uniform or making it particularly much cheaper. in fact, some schools we've seen increased the number of logoed items. this charity says it needs more donations, more volunteers, but also an understanding from schools of the impact that their school uniform policies are having on families in need. caroline bilton, bbc news.

8:38 am
like buses, two olympic legends, jonathan edwards and steve cram, arrived at once to provide some early support. and it was timely, as ultramarathon number three started with a tough slog on saturated and isolated roads. so a leeds rhinos shirt, kevin sinfield and rob burrow“s former team, was a welcome sight. i thought i would come and see if i could tag along a little bit. show him some support. because i imagine when you pitch up in the middle of the cold out here and just seeing anything familiar and things like that, it would be good for him, good for morale. the team are supported by experts in sports science and nutrition. i am just mixing up some more energy drinks for kev and the other two runners. it was a really hard start this morning and they have drunk quite
8:39 am
a lot more of the carb drink than we planned for, so just making sure they have enough for the next 30—odd k. cheering as every one of the day's a1 miles was completed, they left the northumberland countryside behind. people braved the deluge to clap and to donate to the fight against motor neurone disease. they ran out. yay! brilliant. we gave them some cake and water. he is doing a grand job. doddie weir's name has loomed large since the beginning of the seven—in—seven challenge, not least here at newcastle falcons, where he used to play. cheering thank you so much. an absolutely unbelievable welcome. i wouldn't expect anything less
8:40 am
when we come to a place where doddie stayed. lee and ian, who are both living with mnd, wanted to thank kevin in person. pleased to shake your hand. you are a legend. the support we are getting from the mnd association has been fantastic. within 2—3 weeks of being diagnosed, i had my voice banked. things were in motion for stair lifts and whatever, you know. they have been fantastic. everybody has been fantastic. the support from everyone has been spot—on. great. | it is fantastic what he has done j and it's also raising awareness, as well, for this disease and it is nice to be - here to applaud him.
8:41 am
for what he has done. at newcastle united“s ground, another icon paid tribute — sir brendan foster, olympian and founder of the great north run. more than a million people run the great north run, but this is the great great north run. they go way back. many years ago, i was the chancellor at leeds met university, and kevin, i presented him with his degree. he was a top student. he was top of the year, he was fantastic. you have got to admire a man like him, and sport throwing up a character like him is great for sport. it is great for rugby league, but it is great for the charity they are raising money for. these are the women's, men's and wheelchair rugby league world cups. kev will next see the men's trophy at the old trafford final on saturday. but that is not until he has completed another four ultramarathons, of course. kev will enter the stadium with his support team. i think that is going to be a really
8:42 am
special moment and the end of yet another incredible feat of human endurance. another tick in the icon box as he ran across the tyne bridge. and through the rain like it wasn't there. finally, with daylight fading, he reached chester—le—street and durham's cricket ground — just the latest finish line. it is these send offs, banging the drum, that help to prepare kev and the team onwards and onwards yet again. to teesside, then middlesbrough, and the small matter of running yet another a0 miles. but, at least his feet should stay dry today.
8:43 am
here we are. the guys are ready to settle. next stop will be halfway through which as kev said will be a fantastic psychological boost. we get david to beat the drum. counting down and seven. we will chat to him in a second. from seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. and they are off. you would not believe it. you just would not believe they have run, well, ten miles this morning, a0 miles every day over the past days, just extraordinary. david, good drumming. we are doing this because they want to bang the drum for awareness of this condition. your son has for awareness of this condition. yourson has mnd, for awareness of this condition. your son has mnd, diagnosed about the same time as rob burrow.

8:47 am
the rate of inflation has hit its highest rate in more than four decades according to new figures from the office for national statistics. ben can tell us more. he is in gloucester this morning. at a cafe and bakery where they are feeling every percentage point in real time. they really are. i have come into the kitchen this time. to demonstrate what is causing mass inflation. to keep the freezers and fridges cold. to run the ovens and make the breakfast nice and hot. that is way above the target of 2%.
8:48 am
and also adding pressure on businesses like this one. the rate of food price inflation is at 16.a%. and wages are rising at their fastest rate in 20 years but they are not keeping up with average price rises. in real terms people are feeling what is in effect a cut in wages. the bank of england put interest rates up to 3% to try to tame inflation. it may go ahead and the language on ukraine was quite a lot stronger. they reference the un general assembly resolution, condemning rash explicitly. a lot of the members at the g20, the ones
8:49 am
known as the g7 were reluctant to be too confrontational to russia. they are not signed up to the idea of being really hard line on the issue. lots of debate about what would go into the final statement. they referenced the resolution, very tough, unconditional condemnation of the wall and unconditional condemnation of the threat to use nuclear weapons. only one person has threatened that and that is vladimir putin. the fact this very large missile strike happened on ukraine while the ministers were here, including sirj lab of —— sergei lavrov. we had the historic meeting between xi jinping and joe biden which we set the tone of the chinese relationship. in the end there is a

8:51 am
an effort to get back to the mangrove planting, to re—engage with some of the other issues at the summit like climate change method security and the global economy, which other countries are more focused on. also the sense they have got a lot more cooperation and support than was expected at the beginning of the summit. president biden sa s beginning of the summit. president iiriden says it _ beginning of the summit. president iiriden says it is _ beginning of the summit. president biden says it is unlikely _ beginning of the summit. president biden says it is unlikely the - biden says it is unlikely the missile that killed two people in poland near the border with ukraine was fired from russia. our north america correspondent has more from washington. america correspondent has more from washinaton. ., , , ., , washington. over the last peel hours there has been _ washington. over the last peel hours there has been a _ washington. over the last peel hours there has been a lot _ washington. over the last peel hours there has been a lot of _ washington. over the last peel hours there has been a lot of concern, - washington. over the last peel hours there has been a lot of concern, a i there has been a lot of concern, a lot of questions asked about this incident on the polish— ukraine border. president biden appears to have laid some of that concern to rest with the comments we just heard. he had briefed members of the 67 heard. he had briefed members of the g7 and eu behind closed doors at the 620
8:52 am
g7 and eu behind closed doors at the g20 summit in bali. as you heard, he said it was unlikely that the missile that killed two people just over the border in poland was fired from russia. he was basing this on a telephone conversation he had with the polish president and also separate compensation with the nato secretary—general. poland has identified the missile as potentially russian—made, although it has been fairly cautious even about that. as to its origin, that is all part of this investigation. it remains to be seen. if indeed it is a russian missile, it will be the first time since the invasion of ukraine that a russian weapon has come down on nato territory. obviously, still, a lot of questions about this incident remain unanswered. ih about this incident remain unanswered.—
