good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. tax rises and spending cuts are expected when the chancellor delivers his autumn statement later. support for households with their energy cost is likely to be extended beyond april — but average bills will rise. so what are the hopes of people coping with spiralling costs? i'm in gloucester to find out what people here are hoping the to get from today's announcement.

egg rationing in some shops — the government says it's a temporary issue, farmers warn they're going out of business. wales have moved their first training session back to cope with the heat in qatar today. while yesterday, all 26 england players were put through their paces ahead of their world cup opener. 160 miles in four days and still going strong — we're with rugby league star kevin sinfield as he takes his ultra marathon challenge for mnd charities onto the tough end of the week. and the weather is not going to help. we have got some heavy rain and strong winds in central, eastern and strong winds in central, eastern and southern parts of the country. to the west, it is cold with frost and some dense fog currently in northern ireland. details later in the programme. good morning. it's thursday, the 17th of november. the chancellor will set out his plans on spending cuts and tax increases in his autumn statement this morning.

jeremy hunt has warned that he's planning to make difficult decisions and face into the economic storm, although he's also expected to announce an increase to benefits, tax credits, and state pensions, and to extend some help with energy bills beyond april. it's thought this will be funded by significant tax increases, as our business correspondent caroline davies reports. new chancellor, the fourth this year, and a new autumn statement. with inflation at its highest in 41 years, and warnings about the uk facing the longest recession since records began, the stakes are high, and around the uk people are already feeling it. what we usually buy for e2 is now £2.50. you start worrying how it's going to impact immediately, you know, feeding, clothing and heat in the house. me and my partner have said no presents for each other. - we've been together a number of years. l

we've never not bought each other a christmas present. _ and this year we're not buying each other a christmas present - because we simply can't afford to. so what do we think the chancellor plans to do? firstly, he's expected to raise state pensions, benefits and tax credits in april, by september's inflation rate. that was 10.1%. on energy, there'll still be a price cap, but it will rise, so that the typical household will be paying just over £3,000 a year. currently, they're paying around £2,500. not everyone lives in a typical household, and the cap is on unit rates, not your bills, which means how much you pay will still depend on how much energy you actually use. and there will likely be tax rises. energy companies are expected to be hit by an expanded windfall tax. the treasury are expected to say there needs to be cuts to spending plans, but those will be pushed back until after the general election. after liz truss and kwasi kwarteng's mini—budget, and the turmoil seen in the markets,

the treasury feels under pressure to show that it can win credibility back, while trying to reassure the country as the economy struggles. caroline davies, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent nick eardley. good morning. the government as a balancing act to kind of try to get right, especially after the last mini budget?— right, especially after the last mini buduet? ., ~ ., , mini budget? yeah, i think it wants to avoid exactly _ mini budget? yeah, i think it wants to avoid exactly what _ mini budget? yeah, i think it wants to avoid exactly what happened - mini budget? yeah, i think it wants to avoid exactly what happened in l to avoid exactly what happened in the last_ to avoid exactly what happened in the last mini budget, which is why we already— the last mini budget, which is why we already know a great deal of what the chancellor is planning today. he is going _ the chancellor is planning today. he is going to _ the chancellor is planning today. he is going to talk about if facing into the — is going to talk about if facing into the storm. i think he means the economic— into the storm. i think he means the economic storm, but he has got the pictures— economic storm, but he has got the pictures today, put it that way. the hi i pictures today, put it that way. the big thing _ pictures today, put it that way. the big thing the government needs to do today is_ big thing the government needs to do today is to _ big thing the government needs to do today is to try to persuade voters, mps and _ today is to try to persuade voters, mps and the financial markets that it has _ mps and the financial markets that

fired in self—defence against russian attack. 0ur correspondent, catherine byaruhanga, is in kyiv. good morning. catherine, it's a rare difference of opinion between president zelensky and his allies? yes, good morning. president zelensky— yes, good morning. president zelensky doubling down on the position— zelensky doubling down on the position from kyiv that they were not behind this attack. he told journalists yesterday that he believed this was not their missile and hot _ believed this was not their missile and not their missile strike. he says— and not their missile strike. he says he — and not their missile strike. he says he has spoken to army officials here who _ says he has spoken to army officials here who have gone through the data, collected _ here who have gone through the data, collected during that strike on tuesday. _ collected during that strike on tuesday, and he says from what they have shown _ tuesday, and he says from what they have shown him, they've shown him there _ have shown him, they've shown him there wasn't — have shown him, they've shown him there wasn't any ukrainian involvement in that strike. he is also _ involvement in that strike. he is also calling for proof. he wants

where have all the eggs gone? at asda, customers have been limited to purchases of two packs per person, while sainsbury�*s has taken to importing eggs from italy to make up the shortfall. so why is this happening? poultry farmers like billy robb from ayrshire say the key reason is the rising price of feed and fuel, and the impact that has on his profit. supermarkets have not been paying enough because of the rising costs, and i appreciate everybody�*s got rising costs, but we can't stand still with the price we're getting. i'm better losing money doing nothing as losing money to keep supermarkets supplied with eggs. and farmers are also dealing with an outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian flu, h5n1. new figures from the department for environment say 113 confirmed cases were detected since the start of last month. but the british retail consortium, which represents the big supermarkets, are

downplaying supply fears. we're not running out of eggs. there is a lot of pressure in the supply chain at the moment due to avian flu, which has affected egg production. but there are eggs in the supply chain. and what retailers are doing is working with their suppliers and making sure the stocks we've got are giving every customer the eggs that they need. with christmas fast approaching, the shortage of this household staple is causing concern. but the government say there are still nearly 40 million laying hens across the country, and that overall supply is unlikely to be affected. howard johnson, bbc news. the us republican party has secured a majority in the house cbs news. the slim majority will be enough to stall although mr biden's democrats did

manage to keep control

have been prevented. mr song is visiting his daughter's ashes. "daddy's here now," he says. "i hope you're doing well." 24—year—old eun—ji was one of the last victims to be identified. doctors told her father both her arms had been broken in the crush.

who do you want to take responsibility for your daughter's death? thousands have taken to the street to demand the president's resignation, angry that no one has taken responsibility. contrast this, to the empty streets of itaewon, once so full of life. the police cordon has finally been lifted, but the alley is almost completely deserted. most of the bars and the restaurants are still closed, and even the ones that are open, are completely empty.

it's hard to see at this stage how these streets can ever go back to the way they were before. welcome to cake. we haven't really been here since halloween. everyone that was lost, you know, those were people that came to our neighbourhood, and people from our neighbourhood, so... what are your biggest worries now going forward? i fear being scapegoated for, like, wider problems. this neighbourhood has a really special and unique place within korea, but it hasn't always been supported. chanting. many of the protesters were angry with the president here before itaewon. but if he fails to punish the right people, these rallying cries

will surely spread. jean mackenzie, bbc news. 18 minutes past six. let's take a look at some of today's front pages. the telegraph is among a number of papers looking ahead to the chancellor's autumn statement later this morning. it says jeremy hunt will tell mps that the uk needs to "face into the storm" in order to revive its economic fortunes. �*grin and bear it�* is the metro's headline, as it reports that the chancellor is preparing to deliver "a double dose of painful tax rises and big public spending cuts in britain's toughest budget for decades". according to the times, england's health secretary steve barclay has suggested that doctors should work more weekends in a bid to tackle a&e and ambulance waits. and the daily mail focuses on a decision by some uk

supermarkets to limit the number of boxes of eggs customers can buy. we will be talking about this later in the programme. it blames bird flu and the war in ukraine for the shortages. we'll be looking at that story in a little more detail just before eight. 0na on a slightly lighter note, according to a new survey nearly half of british people can remember just one mobile phone number, which is their own. i just one mobile phone number, which is their own-— just one mobile phone number, which is their own._ isl is their own. i can remember two. is that all? how— is their own. i can remember two. is that all? how many _ is their own. i can remember two. is that all? how many do _ is their own. i can remember two. is that all? how many do you - is their own. i can remember two. is i that all? how many do you remember? ! what it says — that all? how many do you remember? ! what it says is — that all? how many do you remember? ! what it says is four _ that all? how many do you remember? ! what it says is four in _ that all? how many do you remember? ! what it says is four in ten _ that all? how many do you remember? ! what it says is four in ten people i ! what it says is four in ten people can remember— ! what it says is four in ten people can remember one _ ! what it says is four in ten people can remember one or— ! what it says is four in ten people can remember one or two - ! what it says is four in ten people | can remember one or two numbers besides their own number, while only 1% of the population know 11 numbers or more. ~ , 1% of the population know 11 numbers or more. 2 , ., i. ., 1% of the population know 11 numbers or more. 2 , ., ., ~ ., 1% of the population know 11 numbers ormore. 2 , ., 2, 4' 2, " or more. why do you need to know 11 numbers? i — or more. why do you need to know 11 numbers? i know _

on their high streets. bromley, vauxhall and woolwich will get £130,000 each to support businesses and develop activites in the evening. it's hoped it will make the streets more welcoming and encourage greater footfall after 6pm. as children in need approaches tomorrow we've been looking at projects where your donations and fundraising have been making a difference. green shoes arts is a project in barking and dagenham empowering children who have a wide range of needs. they believe creative activities like drama can help with a child's wellbeing. it helps them by giving an opportunity to freely express themselves, a place where they are able to play, to kind of get whatever is inside them out. one of the things we've really been trying to achieve with the drama group particularly is saying, "i want to hear your ideas, i want to hear what you have to say", and it's given them a voice.

as i mentioned there, children in need is tomorrow. if you're doing something special or unusual to raise money do let us know — email hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk — we'd love to see your videos and photos and may feature some on our programme. let's take a look at how the tube is looking this morning. there's no service on the piccadilly line between rayners lane and uxbridge, due leaves on the line. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it has been a very wet and blustery night. some strong winds and heavy rain. this morning there is a bit more rain to come but it should turn dry a little later. the rain this morning, some heavier bursts but you can see it pulling away and through the afternoon, especially to the south we can see the cloud break up with sunny spells. further north, the home counties going to stay largely cloudy. the temperature today, 11 celsius, still quite breezy but it will be

lighter than last night. 0vernight tonight, again in the north, we could see spells of rain, largely cloudy, but again to the south some clearer spells and the minimum temperature in single figures at six celsius. tomorrow, it's looking largely dry. for friday, we have some sunshine around, perhaps a little bit of patchy cloud through the afternoon. the wind is a little lighter and temperatures reaching a maximum of around 11 celsius. as we head overnight, dry and clear, so the temperature dropping down into low single figures and we could see a frost on saturday morning, and certainly going to be a chilly start. the risk of a bit of mist. largely dry on saturday, but come sunday we start to see anotherfront moving in, so further unsettled weather to come with outbreaks of rain, and breezy at times. that's it from me. much more on our website and regular updates on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour but for now let's cross back to charlie and naga. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up on this morning's programme. four down, three to go.

kev sinfield will be setting off on yet another ultra marathon injust under half an hour — he's doing seven in seven days — and we'll be there to wave him off. singing. united in song. we'll hear how young people in kent and kyiv are collaborating on a festive classic — and hoping to land a christmas number one. and lady anne glenconner was a maid of honour at the queen's coronation, and a close friend of princess margaret. she'll be on the sofa at 850 to tell us about her extraordinary life. the chancellorjeremy hunt will lay out a raft of tax rises and spending cuts today when he gives his autumn statement. hannah is at a community cafe in gloucester to hear what people

there are hoping to hear. looking ahead to the statement, and looking, and hoping beyond hope that there might be some help offered. irate there might be some help offered. we are the food bank at the community centre which is known as gloucester feed the hungry, and this will be their perspective, where they send out 70 food parcels a week as they look at the chancellor's statement. let's run through some of the numbers the chancellor himself has been looking at. he said repeatedly he wants to bring down inflation, currently at 11%, the highest in 40 years, the rate that the cost of living is rising. we also have a likely recession across the country that would hitjobs and pay. the uk

economy shrank by 0.2% in the three months until september and there is also what the government claims it is a black hole in the nation's finances of over £50 billion as they try to close the gap between what they bring in in tax and what they spend on public services. so let's run through now how their decisions today are expected to affect you. the chancellor has already said we're all going to have to pay more tax. one way he could do that is to freeze income tax thresholds in england and northern ireland. at the moment, you don't pay any income tax at all until you earn just over £12,500, with a higher rate kicking injust over 50,000. if those amounts stay the same but people's wages rise, then more people will start to pay more tax. on top of that, the chancellor is considering raising more money from some of the highest earners.

at the moment, people who earn more than £150,000 start to pay 45p in tax for every extra pound that they earn. that rate could now start to kick in at £125,000 instead. then there's talk that the government could allow local authorities in england to put up council tax further. it's how we pay for bin collections, street lights, maintaining parks and libraries. it's thought the average household could end up paying as much as £2,000 per year, about £500 more than the current average. now let's talk about your energy bill. this winter, the government is subsidising us all, so the average annual household bill wouldn't come to more than £2,500, but of course, if you use more than average, your bill can be higher than that figure. the chancellor has already said he won't continue with that level of support, but its expected there will be some kind of cap in place with support

targeted at poorest households. now, you've probably noticed your money isn't going as far as it used to, but millions of people could be set to get a pay rise as the minimum wage for people aged over 23 goes up by 90p, to £10.40 per hour. that's slightly below the increase in the cost of living, and there are also questions about pay rises for public sector workers such as nurses and teachers. pensioners, though, are expected to see their payments go up in line with inflation as the prime minister previously promised. and as well as impacting your personal finances, today's announcement will affect the services we all use as well. the chancellor is reported to want to save around £35 billion, which could put a strain on the budgets for things like schools, the police and social care. we won't know until later this morning what decisions he's made,

but the chancellor has already said some of them have been difficult. i'm joined by their person who runs the centre and thanks for having us. talk is free what you do here. we have the talk is free what you do here. 2 have the gloucester food bank here, and we also walk into our household items here, so shelters contact us with residents moving into their first flats after some time in hospital or something so we can make sure they get a bed, new bedding, household items, and ensure that their new chapter in life starts off on a positive note.— on a positive note. you've got all the clothes _ on a positive note. you've got all the clothes here _ on a positive note. you've got all the clothes here as _ on a positive note. you've got all the clothes here as well. - on a positive note. you've got all the clothes here as well. we i on a positive note. you've got allj the clothes here as well. we give out maybe _ the clothes here as well. we give out maybe two — the clothes here as well. we give out maybe two or _ the clothes here as well. we give out maybe two or three rails i out maybe two or three rails worth of clothing a week ensuring that the most vulnerable have warm clothing, especially winter coats right now. we properly give out about 20 or 30 a week. people are struggling and

monday. all 26 england players were able to take part in their first training session ahead of the opening game against iran on monday including kyle walker with the man city defender only just including kyle walker with the man city defender onlyjust recovering from groin surgery. but fit enough to join the session at england's training base in al wakrah. the in—form leicester attacking midfielder james maddison was also there, fresh from a recall to the national squad. my dad actually cried, and he is not someone _ my dad actually cried, and he is not someone who tries and i don't think i've someone who tries and i don't think i've seen— someone who tries and i don't think i've seen him cry for years. happy tears. _ i've seen him cry for years. happy tears. of— i've seen him cry for years. happy tears, of course, but the announcement on thursday, after training _ announcement on thursday, after training i— announcement on thursday, after training i wanted to go and see him and i_ training i wanted to go and see him and i went— training i wanted to go and see him and i went back to coventry and had dinner— and i went back to coventry and had dinner at— and i went back to coventry and had dinner at home with my mum and dad and my— dinner at home with my mum and dad and my little — dinner at home with my mum and dad and my little boy and my partner, so i and my little boy and my partner, so i wanted _ and my little boy and my partner, so i wanted to— and my little boy and my partner, so i wanted to give my mum a big hug and it— i wanted to give my mum a big hug and it was— i wanted to give my mum a big hug and it was a — i wanted to give my mum a big hug and it was a special day for all of us and _ and it was a special day for all of us and one — and it was a special day for all of us and one i_ and it was a special day for all of us and one i will definitely never forget _ scotland aren't at the world cup, but they lost 2—1

in a friendly in turkey last night. the hosts were 2—0 up by early in the second half thanks to goals from former liverpool and norwich defender ozan kabak and marseilles forward cengiz under john mcginn ran from the halfway line to hit back in style just after the hour mark with his 15th international goal, but they couldn't find an equaliser. brentford striker ivan toney has been charged with 232 alleged breaches of betting rules by the football association. the 26—year—old last week admitted he was assisting the fa with its investigation into historic breaking of gambling rules. toney has until november the 24th to provide a response and faces a lengthy ban if the allegations are proven. it seems hard to believe thatjust four days after winning the t20 world cup cup final england's cricketers are back in action again. they're playing australia in the first of three one day internationals in adelaide.. much has been said about their congested schedule, and there's been signs of tiredness in some of their batting so far.

in one word — cruel. we just wanted to come and cheer him on. brilliant. jill's twin sister, joan, has mnd. everybody�*s supporting him, coming out, early morning, he is just amazing. amazing man. kevin! his efforts, inspired by his friend rob burrow, have captured the imagination of all ages. schoolchildren in winyard excited not only to be out of the classroom but to witness something very special. would you like to run 40 miles a day? no. can you imagine it? no. he's doing it for a good cause though, that is what matters. it's a great cause to raise money. and i think he's very brave and very strong to do this. this marks halfway, three and a half

days of constant exertion. getting better and better. unbelievable, getting all the kids out, and brilliant, and at the halfway point, so a big moment for all of us. at each stop, someone affected by mnd sets them off with seven beats of the drum. it's sandra's turn, even with her broken arm. got that on the back of the t—shirt. here we are. she lost her husband to the disease. you've done a good deal of fundraising yourself. yes, nearly 18,000 now, yes. so, we've got another event coming up at the weekend, a small one, at a rugby club again. and then a christmas fair and things. it all helps, doesn't it? with 40 miles to cover each day, it's vital the team keep each other distracted, amused, motivated. they are rarely quiet. and so are the crowds that greet them. thank you for coming down. applause.

yes, it seems to come back down by the morning again. this challenge defies logic, beggars belief, but there is some science, and scientists helping to keep them going. just making sure that at the start and end of the day, the next morning, kev is staying about right and we can look at the fuelling and feeding strategy to make sure kev�*s as good a position as he can be. and i think having a nutritionist on your case all the time, there was a few times where he didn't want to have what we were trying to get down his neck. this time, he seems to have really got what we are trying to do and he understands it and he's been signalling back to the car and he's almost saying, "i'm top of the class", so he's doing fantastic and doing it without prompting now, almost. thank you. applause. thank you. see you in the morning!

many people have said this week that kevin sinfield is a machine, but, a machine doesn't have a heart. here we go. out in the rain, the beautiful north yorkshire liquid sunshine. we will beat the drum down from seven. sally, the chief executive of mnd eight will do it for us. i'll be ready? still in good voice. from seven. seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. and they are off. running through the rain like it'sjust off. running through the rain like it's just not there. fantastic sendoff once again. it is day number five and super care of is go.-

to seize a number of dockless bikes unless urgent action is taken by their operator. wandsworth council says an increasing number were found blocking pavements last weekend. the provider, lime uk, says it's introduced various new measures to prevent bikes cluttering up busy areas. three parts of the capital are set to receive cash from city hall to help boost the night time economy on their high streets. bromley, vauxhall and woolwich will get £130,000 each to support businesses and develop activities in the evening. it's hoped it will make the streets more welcoming and encourage greater footfall after 6pm. as children in need approaches tomorrow, we've been looking at projects where your donations and fundraising have been making a difference. green shoes arts is a project in barking and dagenham empowering children who have a wide range of needs. they believe creative activities like drama can help with a child's well—being. it helps them by giving an opportunity to freely express themselves, a place

where they are able to play, to kind of get whatever is inside them out. one of the things we've really been trying to achieve with the drama group particularly is saying, "i want to hear your ideas, i want to hear what you have to say", and it's given them a voice. as i mentioned there, children in need is tomorrow. if you're doing something special or unusual to raise money, do let us know. we'd love to see your videos and photos and may feature some on our programme. let's take a look at how the tube is looking this morning. minor delays on the district line from barking to earls court. there's no service on the piccadilly line between rayners lane and uxbridge due to leaves on the line. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it has been a very wet and blustery night. some strong winds and heavy rain.

and breezy at times. much more on our website and regular updates on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. tax rises and spending cuts are expected when the chancellor delivers his autumn statement later. support for households with their energy cost is likely to be extended beyond april — but average bills will rise. so what are the hopes of people coping with spiralling costs? i'm in gloucester to find out what people here are hoping the to get from today's announcement. egg rationing in some shops — the government says it's a temporary issue, farmers warn they're going out of business.

wales have moved their first training session back to cope with the heat in qatar today. we meet the singers in kent and kyiv who have linked up to make new version of a festive classic, thy�*re hoping will be a big hit this christmas good morning. some dense fog to watch out for across northern ireland this morning. a cold start. we have some heavy rain and gusty winds in central, eastern and southern areas, slowly moving northwards. details later. good morning. it's thursday, the 17th of november. the chancellor will set out his plans on spending cuts and tax increases in his autumn statement this morning. jeremy hunt has warned that he's planning to make difficult decisions and face into the economic storm,

although he's also expected to announce an increase to benefits, tax credits, and state pensions, and to extend some help with energy bills beyond april. it's thought this will be funded by significant tax increases, as our business correspondent caroline davies reports. new chancellor, the fourth this year, and a new autumn statement. with inflation at its highest in 41 years, and warnings about the uk facing the longest recession since records began, the stakes are high, and around the uk people are already feeling it. what we usually buy for £2 is now £2.50. you start worrying how it's going to impact immediately, you know, feeding, clothing and heating the house. me and my partner have said no presents for each other. - we've been together a number of years. l we've never not bought each other a christmas present. _

and this year we're not buying each other a christmas present - because we simply can't afford to. so what do we think the chancellor plans to do? firstly, he's expected to raise state pensions, benefits and tax credits in april, by september's inflation rate. that was 10.1%. on energy, there'll still be a price cap, but it will rise, so that the typical household will be paying just over £3,000 a year. currently, they're paying around £2,500. not everyone lives in a typical household, and the cap is on unit rates, not your bills, which means how much you pay will still depend on how much energy you actually use. and there will likely be tax rises. energy companies are expected to be hit by an expanded windfall tax. the treasury are expected to say there needs to be cuts to spending plans, but those will be pushed back until after the general election. after liz truss and kwasi kwarteng's mini—budget, and the turmoil seen in the markets, the treasury feels under pressure

to show that it can win credibility back, while trying to reassure the country as the economy struggles. caroline davies, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent nick eardley. morning. we are in that strange time, just a few hours away, plenty of speculation about what the chancellor will come up with. we do not need to speculate. it is very difficult times for a lot of people, and that is unlikely to change today? and that is unlikely to change toda ? ., ~' and that is unlikely to change toda ? ., ,, . , today? no, i think that is right. for a lot of— today? no, i think that is right. for a lot of households - today? no, i think that is right. for a lot of households these . today? no, i think that is right. i for a lot of households these greece is going _ for a lot of households these greece is going to _ for a lot of households these greece is going to feel even worse once we see the _ is going to feel even worse once we see the full— is going to feel even worse once we see the full autumn statement. the truth is _ see the full autumn statement. the truth is we _ see the full autumn statement. the truth is we know most of what is in it. truth is we know most of what is in it -- _ truth is we know most of what is in it -- the _ truth is we know most of what is in it. —— the squeeze. the government doesh't _ it. —— the squeeze. the government doesn't want — it. —— the squeeze. the government doesn't want what happened a few weeks _ doesn't want what happened a few weeks ago and have surprises announced in parliament that spooked the markets and spoke to the public

northwards, we will find it will brighten up in much of wales, central and southern england. gusty winds again today, the strongest of which will be in the english channel, along the north sea. and once again in shetland. these are the temperatures. tempered by the wind and rain. eight to 11 degrees north to south. chile if you are exposed to them. as we head into the ceiling and overnight, here is the centre of the low pressure. the wind spiralling around it. moving northwards and westwards. the heaviest rain by the end of the night will be in eastern scotland. still showers packing in from the atlantic. temperatures no problems with frost tonight. tomorrow then, we still have the low pressure across scotland. still some heavy rain. drifting further west. you can see some showers coming in behind across northern ireland, northern england, but further south, something drier and brighter developing. highs of eight to 11 degrees. thank

you. 16 highs of eight to 11 degrees. thank ou. ' ~ . highs of eight to 11 degrees. thank ou. ' ~ , , highs of eight to 11 degrees. thank ou. ~ , , on yesterday's breakfast we covered the tragic death of awaab ishak — a two—year—old boy who died of a respiratory condition caused by exposure to mould in his housing association flat. the housing ombudsman has ordered further investigations run by the same landlord. but the bbc has now seen evidence of severe damp and mould in other properties on the same estate, in rochdale, where awaab lived. abbiejones reports. afterjust a few minutes on rochdale's freehold estate, we're invited into a flat just around the corner from where awaab ishak died. the pungent smell of mould hits us as soon as we enter. it's under the kitchen sink. in the lounge strips of cardboard laid down to try to soak up the moisture. and, most worryingly for the family who live here, in the kids' bedrooms. last night, actually, i noticed it's completely mould,

my son's beddings. i had to change everything and throw it down straightaway. so he's sleeping in mould? yeah. the family say they're all now using inhalers. the children's mum doesn't want to show her face on camera, but says she's desperate for help. really worried, really stressed every day. this is one of my big worries. really, really desperate to get out of this situation, because of my children. and have you reported this? i have reported several times since four years. four years? four years. to rochdale boroughwide housing? somebody turns up and scrub and paintjust the walls, not the cupboard. within one week or five days, it will grow again. this is my children's bedroom. and as you can see, the mould and the dampness of the wall. it smells really badly. night—time is horrendous. not far away, raja miah says he is also really concerned for his children's health.

the walls and windows are damp and mouldy. it's the same in their parents' bedroom. raja says the problem's been ongoing for four years. i'm worried about my kids, because they are always getting ill, you know, cough and all that. so it could be because of the mouldiness. i'm thinking of moving to living room until they sort it out. sleeping in the living room? yes, sleeping in the living room, because of the smell. this is the kitchen ceiling in another flat on the estate, black with mould. it's worse in the lounge area. the tenant doesn't want to be identified, but tells me they're deeply depressed. we've spent less than two hours in a very small area of this estate, but we've spoken to six people who say they have serious problems with mould in their homes. and these are long standing problems, which nearly two years since the death of awaab ishak, still haven't been resolved. the greater manchester tenants union has also been talking to residents here. its rochdale chair says he's worried the tragedy of what happened to

two—year—old awaab could befall another family. on the basis that this is an ongoing issue, that there's mould still in these flats, a mould in quite a lot of the social homes in rochdale, then you've got to raise the issue and the danger that more health issues, if not deaths, are a distinct possibility. and that is something that just is unacceptable. rochdale boroughwide housing promised it is — and will be — doing things differently. but many of the tenants living on this estate say nothing has changed. abbiejones, bbc news, rochdale. we'rejoined now by christian weaver, who is the barrister for awaab ishak�*s family. good morning. i know you have had contact with the family since tuesday's verdict. just give us a

is the rising price of feed and fuel, and the impact that has on his profit. supermarkets have not been paying enough because of the rising costs, and i appreciate everybody�*s got rising costs, but we can't stand still with the price we're getting. i'm better losing money doing nothing as losing money to keep supermarkets supplied with eggs. and farmers are also dealing with an outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian flu, hsni. new figures from the department for environment say 113 confirmed cases were detected since the start of last month. but the british retail consortium, which represents the big supermarkets, are downplaying supply fears. we're not running out of eggs. there is a lot of pressure in the supply chain at the moment due to avian flu, which has affected egg production. but there are eggs in the supply chain. and what retailers are doing is working with their suppliers and making sure the stocks we've got are giving every customer

the eggs that they need. with christmas fast approaching, the shortage of this household staple is causing concern. but the government say there are still nearly a0 million laying hens across the country, and that overall supply is unlikely to be affected. howard johnson, bbc news. we're joined now by llryjones who's a free range poultry farmer in denbighshire. thank you so much for talking to me and explaining what is going on. can we start with avian flu. there are quite a few factors affecting prices and production, so can we start with avian flu and how it has affected your business? that avian flu and how it has affected your business?— your business? at the moment, because l'm _ your business? at the moment, because m in _ your business? at the moment, because i'm in wales, _ your business? at the moment, because i'm in wales, it - your business? at the moment, because i'm in wales, it hasn'tl because i'm in wales, it hasn't affected wales as much as england and this may be only been seven cases in wales so far so as a business it's not really affected mine at all and that is why, as

farmers, we understand it is an issue but at the end of the day, it issue but at the end of the day, it is the costs of producing the eggs that remains difficult. let’s is the costs of producing the eggs that remains difficult.— is the costs of producing the eggs that remains difficult. let's take a look. that remains difficult. let's take a look- avian _ that remains difficult. let's take a look. avian flu, _ that remains difficult. let's take a look. avian flu, not _ that remains difficult. let's take a look. avian flu, not a _ that remains difficult. let's take a look. avian flu, not a problem, i that remains difficult. let's take al look. avian flu, not a problem, but it is for many farmers, but when it comes to costs, which costs or which factors are driving up your costs at this moment in time?— factors are driving up your costs at this moment in time? basically, it's everything — this moment in time? basically, it's everything my _ this moment in time? basically, it's everything. my feed _ this moment in time? basically, it's everything. my feed bill— this moment in time? basically, it's everything. my feed bill has - this moment in time? basically, it's everything. my feed bill has gone i this moment in time? basically, it's| everything. my feed bill has gone by £20,000 extra a month, and our electricity bills, like everybody else, they have nearly tripled and i am receiving half per egg than i was last year and it simply isn't acceptable, and we cannot carry on moving this sort of money and this is why we are seeing less eggs. taste is why we are seeing less eggs. we will aet is why we are seeing less eggs. we will get to the point about what

costs are being passed on through the supermarkets to the consumers and how it relates to you in a second, but i want to get an idea of your costs, and you said £20,000 extra per month on feed, plus electricity, so say you produce, how many eggs do you produce a month? we many eggs do you produce a month? , produce about 28,000 eggs a day. in produce about 28,000 eggs a day. in terms of producing those eggs, how much more expensive is it to produce those eggs in percentage terms? i think the costs have gone up by about 20%, but we have not seen that back and i realise that consumers are paying the percentage more for their eggs and they are not passing it down the line. and our costs have gone up. it down the line. and our costs have one u -. ~ . . it down the line. and our costs have a-oneu.~ ., , ,., ., ., gone up. what is the explanation? when ou gone up. what is the explanation? when you negotiate, _ gone up. what is the explanation? when you negotiate, i—

gone up. what is the explanation? when you negotiate, i don't - gone up. what is the explanation? when you negotiate, i don't know| gone up. what is the explanation? - when you negotiate, i don't know how you negotiate within the supermarket well, but what is the explanation when you get 1p or half a p more per packet, and then they are charging 20% more? , packet, and then they are charging 20% more?— packet, and then they are charging 20% more? , . _ ., , 20% more? they are saying that they have their costs _ 20% more? they are saying that they have their costs going _ 20% more? they are saying that they have their costs going up _ 20% more? they are saying that they have their costs going up as - 20% more? they are saying that they have their costs going up as well- have their costs going up as well and they are trying to keep food as cheap as possible, which we understand because everybody has to watch their pounds now, but we can see the prices increasing for the customers and in may and august, the supermarkets invited us to a meeting and nobody turned up, none of the supermarkets turned up and we had been telling them since may that this is happening and literally they are not listening to us and haven't all summer and it come to this now. what is the consequence of this now?

what is the consequence of this now? what we are hearing is that some farmers like yourself are saying, right, i'mjust farmers like yourself are saying, right, i'm just not going to produce any more. right, i'm 'ust not going to produce an more. . right, i'm 'ust not going to produce an more. , , . . , any more. yes, i understand farmers basically understanding _ any more. yes, i understand farmers basically understanding that - any more. yes, i understand farmers basically understanding that they - basically understanding that they lose less money by having more hens than having hands, so you cannot blame farmers in that situation and it really is frightening. we need to get more money now. farmers need to be confident they can cover their costs and it will probably take over six months to go back to normal, to having all of the eggs that we need on the shelves.— having all of the eggs that we need on the shelves. thanks very much for talkin: to on the shelves. thanks very much for talking to us — on the shelves. thanks very much for talking to us and _ on the shelves. thanks very much for talking to us and giving _ on the shelves. thanks very much for talking to us and giving us _ on the shelves. thanks very much for talking to us and giving us an - talking to us and giving us an insight into what your business is like at this moment in time. usually if you use the phrase look away now, it's because people who are

squeamish should look away, but if you're not ready to hear a christmas song, one is coming up. it is coming up song, one is coming up. it is coming up now. maybe it is a bit early but this has a story behind it. it's a collaboration by two choirs — one from kent and the other from kyiv — as they celebrate the new bonds of friendship between the uk and ukraine, and the shared language of music. piers hopkirk has been to find out more. carol of the bells it's an example of the power of music to bring people together. while singers from schools across west kent were put through their paces here... ..hundreds of miles away in kyiv, singers gathered between the air raid sirens for their part in a recording project that unites both countries in song. singing.

you don't have to speak ukrainian, you don't have to speak english. music pulls you together. it is putting into perspective the fact that we are all here in this lovely building and we have been rehearsing in primary schools all over the weald. the choir in ukraine are rehearsing when they can between sirens, between explosions, between losing their power, in bunkers, in car parks. but they are still able to send back something really positive and something they are proud of, and we are proud to be working with them on. it's called the carol of the bells. a christmas tune that many will recognise from festive adverts to films like home alone. fewer though will know it is a traditional ukrainian song called shchedryk.

anna helped inspire the project. her home town is under russian occupation. she and her son came to kent in may. this song is very important for us, because this song is about hope, hope for better times, for rebuilding our country and for a betterfuture for all ukrainians. i am very proud of singing with my english friends. it will send a good message to send to the warriors that _ are trying to defend ukraine, i and boost them and help them. how proud are you to be involved? on a scale of one to ten, probably about ten. - the aim is to blend the choir is to create a single track. it will then go on sale to raise money for reconstruction projects in ukraine.

so, a trans—european expression of solidarity through song. all in time, they hope, for the christmas charts. singing.

our hague correspondent anna holligan reports. 0njuly17th, 2014, 298 people boarded malaysia airlines flight 17 at amsterdam's schiphol airport, bound for kuala lumpur, but they would never reach their destination. the plane was shot out of the sky by a surface to air missile. it's mass murder. 298 people were murdered. eight years on, today will bring a verdict for the families searching for truth. the justice we're now witnessing here, has been a long time in the making. two separate inquiries were launched, one focusing on what caused the plane to break up in midair. the other on who was criminally responsible. relatives at the epicentre of this disaster placed their faith in the quest forjustice. silene fredriksz�* son bryce and his girlfriend daisy were on board flight mh17.

we will never get our children back, we know that. some people sometimes tell us, "why are you still fighting for this case?" we need the truth, and we need justice. a sd reconstruction of the returned wreckage formed part of the evidence that helped investigators to identify the exact warhead that perforated the plane, and found it was fired from territory that was at the time held by russian—backed separatist forces. via intercepted telephone calls, witnesses, photos and social media posts, they were able to point the finger at three russians and one ukrainian. the most prominent suspect is igor girkin, who prosecutors say is a former colonel in russia's fsb intelligence service. eliott higgins' pioneering open source investigative work assisted the prosecution. anyone who would claim that russia wasn't involved with this shoot down

is really a ridiculous person. russia has always denied supplying the missile, but many of the families think that if the west had taken a tougher stance in response to mh17, the current conflict in ukraine could have been prevented. putin has never been stopped. he's capable of everything. we've seen that now. i hope the world wakes up now. the families to find the truth. that feeling ofjustice to be done gives a good feeling and gives, i hope, give some peace about this subject. anna holligan, bbc news, schiphol.

the us republican party has secured a majority in the house of representatives, the lower chamber of congress, after the midterm elections, according to projections by cbs news. the slim majority will be enough to stall presidentjoe biden�*s agenda for the next two years, although mr biden�*s democrats did manage to keep control of the senate, which is the upper chamber of congress. how good are you at learning new names? taste how good are you at learning new names? ~ ., how good are you at learning new names? ~ . ., ., . �* names?- - yeah. names? yeah. but m [m rather than the commonly—used english title.

some heavy rain to come across northern england and eastern scotland. we have also got some showers coming on across the east of northern ireland and also parts of wales. forthe northern ireland and also parts of wales. for the west of northern ireland it should brighten up. it should brighten up in south wales and southern england, barring a few showers. gusty winds through the north sea and especially shetland. as we head through the rush—hour, we will still have some residual showers across england. but equally, there will be a lot of dry weather. getting into the midlands, northwards, we are back under the influence of the low pressure, so it is cloudy and wet, the exception being the worst of northern ireland. moving through northern england into scotland, you can see the extent of the cloud. rain needs, showers and the cloud. rain needs, showers and the west, strong winds. this evening and overnight the low pressure continues to migrate northwards. having had a heavy rain in northern ireland, it will move into north—east scotland. with all these cloud around, and blustery conditions, we are not anticipating any problems with rust tonight.

tomorrow, this area of low pressure brings heavy rain into eastern scotland. it drifts further west through the course of the day. showers in northern ireland getting through into northern ending crack to northern england, a few into wales. in the south, something drier. temperatures tomorrow ranging from nine in the north to ii in the south. friday into saturday they will be some frost under grey skies in northern ireland and southern england. on sunday we could see some snow in the mountains of the highlands and the grampians, and potentially snow in the mountains of the highlands and the grampians, and potentially too snow in the mountains of the highlands and the grampians, and potentially too the snow in the mountains of the highlands and the grampians, and potentially too the north snow in the mountains of the highlands and the grampians, and potentially too the north pennines. thanks so much. we will speak to you later. thank you. very much concentrating on lookin: thank you. very much concentrating on looking ahead _ thank you. very much concentrating on looking ahead to _ thank you. very much concentrating on looking ahead to the _ thank you. very much concentrating on looking ahead to the chancellor'sj on looking ahead to the chancellor's autumn statement today. we know things are difficult for things —— people at the moment. that may well not change as a result of what happens. hannah is at a cafe for us. this is quite a special place. a community cafe. there are a

to have to pay more tax. one way he could do that is to freeze income tax thresholds in england and northern ireland. at the moment, you don't pay any income tax at all until you earn just over £12,500, with a higher rate kicking injust over 50,000. if those amounts stay the same but people's wages rise, then more people will start to pay more tax. on top of that, the chancellor is considering raising more money from some of the highest earners. at the moment, people who earn more than £150,000 start to pay 45p in tax for every extra pound that they earn. that rate could now start to kick in at £125,000 instead. then there's talk that the government could allow local authorities in england to put up council tax further. it's how we pay for bin collections, street lights, maintaining parks and libraries.

it's thought the average household could end up paying as much as £2,000 per year, about £500 more than the current average. now let's talk about your energy bill. this winter, the government is subsidising us all, so the average annual household bill wouldn't come to more than £2,500, but of course, if you use more than average, your bill can be higher than that figure. the chancellor has already said he won't continue with that level of support, but its expected there will be some kind of cap in place with support targeted at poorest households. now, you've probably noticed your money isn't going as far as it used to, but millions of people could be set to get a pay rise as the minimum wage for people aged over 23 goes up by 90p, to £10.40 per hour. that's slightly below the increase in the cost of living, and there are also questions about pay rises for public sector workers such as nurses and teachers. pensioners, though, are expected

to see their payments go up in line with inflation as the prime minister previously promised. and as well as impacting your personal finances, today's announcement will affect the services we all use as well. the chancellor is reported to want to save around £35 billion, which could put a strain on the budgets for things like schools, the police and social care. we won't know until later this morning what decisions he's made, but the chancellor has already said some of them have been difficult. lam iamjoined by i am joined by brigid and dave, who have come along to talk to us about what they would like to hear from the chancellor. good morning. brigid, if we start with you, you are a carerfor your husband, who is at home and has dementia, how has the cost of living affected you and

good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill. a london council is threatening to seize a number of dockless bikes unless urgent action is taken by their operator. wandsworth council says an increasing number were found blocking pavements last weekend. the provider, lime uk, says it's introduced various new measures to prevent bikes cluttering up busy areas. three parts of the capital are set to receive cash from city hall to help boost the night time economy on their high streets. bromley, vauxhall and woolwich will get £130,000 each to support businesses and develop activites in the evening. it's hoped it will make the streets more welcoming and encourage greater footfall after 6pm. as children in need approaches tomorrow we've been looking at projects where your donations and fundraising have been making a difference. green shoes arts is a project in barking and dagenham empowering children who have a wide range of needs. they believe creative activities like drama can help with a child's wellbeing.

it helps them by giving an opportunity to freely express themselves, a place where they are able to play, to kind of get whatever is inside them out. one of the things we've really been trying to achieve with the drama group particularly is saying, "i want to hear your ideas, i want to hear what you have to say", and it's given them a voice. as i mentioned there, children in need is tomorrow. if you're doing something special or unusual to raise money do let us know — email hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk — we'd love to see your videos and photos and may feature some on our programme. let's take a look at how the tube is looking this morning. minor delays on thejubilee line. there's no service on the piccadilly line between rayners lane and uxbridge due leaves on the line. now onto the weather

with kate kinsella. good morning. it has been a very wet and blustery night. some strong winds and heavy rain. this morning there is a bit more rain to come but it should turn dry a little later. the rain this morning, some heavier bursts but you can see it pulling away and through the afternoon, especially to the south we can see the cloud break up with sunny spells. further north, the home counties going to stay largely cloudy. the temperature today, 11 celsius, still quite breezy but it will be lighter than last night. overnight tonight, again in the north, we could see spells of rain, largely cloudy, but again to the south some clearer spells and the minimum temperature in single figures at six celsius. tomorrow, it's looking largely dry. for friday, we have some sunshine around, perhaps a little bit of patchy cloud through the afternoon. the wind is a little lighter and temperatures reaching a maximum of around 11 celsius. as we head overnight, dry and clear, so the temperature dropping down into low single figures and we could see a frost on saturday morning, and certainly going to be

a chilly start. the risk of a bit of mist. largely dry on saturday, but come sunday we start to see anotherfront moving in, so further unsettled weather to come with outbreaks of rain, and breezy at times. that's it from me — much more on our website and regular updates on bbc radio london. i'll be backjust after 9 but for now let's cross back to charlie and naga. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt . just before seven o'clock this morning we watched the rugby league legend kevin sinfield set off on his fifth ultra marathon in five days. and he's still got two more to do. kevin started at murrayfield stadium in edinburgh on sunday and throughout this week he's hoping to cover more than 300 miles — to get him to old trafford stadium for the rugby league world cup final on saturday.

it's all about pacing himself. this morning we saw him set off from stokesley, in north yorkshire — and he'sjust arrived in osmotherley. this morning we saw him set off from stokesley, he ran in and got given a big coat to keep us updated. this is all about friends, isn't it?- about friends, isn't it? yes, absolutely. _ about friends, isn't it? yes, absolutely. perfectly - about friends, isn't it? yes, j absolutely. perfectly timed. about friends, isn't it? yes, | absolutely. perfectly timed. i about friends, isn't it? yes, - absolutely. perfectly timed. ifeel terrible diving and when you've just arrived but you are never out of breath. how has it gone this morning?— breath. how has it gone this mornin: ? �* . . breath. how has it gone this mornin. ? �* . . . , morning? brilliant. the weather has roball morning? brilliant. the weather has probally held _ morning? brilliant. the weather has probally held because _ morning? brilliant. the weather has probally held because it's _ morning? brilliant. the weather has probally held because it's picked - probally held because it's picked the spirits up and jamie peacock, he's been outstanding and three good mates from leicester tigers, really special to see them, friends who mean a lot to me who come and join and support in the way they have, so it's been good. and look at the people who have come out.

we just wanted to come and cheer him on. brilliant. jill's twin sister, joan, has mnd. everybody�*s supporting him, coming out, early morning, he is just amazing. amazing man. kevin! his efforts, inspired by his friend rob burrow, have captured the imagination of all ages. schoolchildren in winyard excited not only to be out of the classroom but to witness something very special. would you like to run a0 miles a day? no. can you imagine it? no. he's doing it for a good cause though, that is what matters. it's a great cause to raise money. and i think he's very brave and very strong to do this. this marks halfway, three and a half days of constant exertion. getting better and better. unbelievable, getting all the kids out, and brilliant, and at the halfway point, so a big moment for all of us. at each stop, someone affected

by mnd sets them off with seven beats of the drum. it's sandra's turn, even with her broken arm. got that on the back of the t—shirt. here we are. she lost her husband to the disease. you've done a good deal of fundraising yourself. yes, nearly 18,000 now, yes. so, we've got another event coming up at the weekend, a small one, at a rugby club again. and then a christmas fair and things. it all helps, doesn't it? with a0 miles to cover each day, it's vital the team keep each other distracted, amused, motivated. they are rarely quiet. and so are the crowds that greet them. thank you for coming down. applause. yes, it seems to come back down by the morning again. this challenge defies logic, beggars belief, but there is some science,

and scientists helping to keep them going. just making sure that at the start and end of the day, the next morning, kev is staying about right and we can look at the fuelling and feeding strategy to make sure kev�*s as good a position as he can be. and i think having a nutritionist on your case all the time, there was a few times where he didn't want to have what we were trying to get down his neck. this time, he seems to have really got what we are trying to do and he understands it and he's been signalling back to the car and he's almost saying, "i'm top of the class", so he's doing fantastic and doing it without prompting now, almost. thank you. applause. see you in the morning! many people have said this week that kevin sinfield is a machine, but, a machine doesn't have a heart.

three, two, one. recovery times are not getting any longer before the team hits the road again. but for the first time, they are on the home leg. it's now four days down, three to go. getting tantalisingly close but i don't want to talk about the end so much because there is so much to run. jamie peacock is with kevin today, team mates for years and years and you will have been through some stressful times, some big, physical days over the years. what is it like today? taste physical days over the years. what is it like today?— is it like today? we have been in the trenches _ is it like today? we have been in the trenches together, - is it like today? we have been in the trenches together, playing i the trenches together, playing together but it's great to be out here supporting him and what he's is incredible. i am here supporting him and what he's is incredible. lam playing here supporting him and what he's is incredible. i am playing a small role and it's humbling to see him here. i role and it's humbling to see him here. ~ ., i. . ., role and it's humbling to see him here. ~ ., . ., . here. i know you have run on a previous _ here. i know you have run on a previous challenge. _ here. i know you have run on a previous challenge. this - here. i know you have run on a previous challenge. this is - previous challenge. this is obviously different, or does it feel

full training session back today, to cope with the heat in qatar. they were due to train at lunchtime, but have pushed it now towards the evening, with temperatures over 30 degrees surprising the squad. some of the playersjoined local youngsters for a kickabout yesterday as rob page's team settled into their surroundings. wales are in england's group and take on usa in their opening match on monday. other teams are still arriving in qatar. one of the pre tournament favourites argentina touched down overnight. here they are, with their superstar lionel messi one of the first out of the plane. the world cup is one of the few trophies missing from his pretty successful career to date. they've been preparing in abu dhabi where they beat united arab emirates in their final warm up match and that stretched their unbeaten run to 36 games scotland aren't at the world cup,

but they lost 2—1 in a friendly in turkey last night. the hosts were 2—0 up by early in the second half thanks to goals from former liverpool and norwich defender ozan kabak and marseilles forward cengiz under john mcginn ran from the halfway line to hit back in style just after the hour mark with his 15th international goal, but scotland couldn't find an equaliser. it seems hard to believe thatjust four days after winning the t20 world cup, england's cricketers are back in action. they're playing australia in the first of three one day internationals in adelaide. much has been said about their congested schedule and there were some signs of tiredness in some of their batting. captain jos buttler out for 29. dawid malan though, a bright spot. he made a fine 134, helping england to set a target of 288. australia though are going well, 92 without loss after 13 overs.

ronnie o'sullivan is through to the quarter finals of the uk snooker championship for the 19th time. that's the whitewash included a break of 139.... o'sullivan is attempting to win the uk title for the eighth time. for me, it's not easy. when you get back to winning, it brings a lot of stuff with it, and you know, it takes a lot of the enjoyment out of it sometimes because, you know, anything but a win becomes no good. last year i was happy with the quarterfinals, but this year i'm thinking if i don't win it, it's a disaster. it's ridiculous, really. let'sjust disaster. it's ridiculous, really. let's just say your perception changes. ronnie o'sullivan always a man with opinions _ ronnie o'sullivan always a man with opinions. he ronnie o'sullivan always a man with oinions. . , ., opinions. he never fails to deliver. sarah, opinions. he never fails to deliver. sarah. thank _ opinions. he never fails to deliver. sarah, thank you _ opinions. he never fails to deliver. sarah, thank you so _ opinions. he never fails to deliver. sarah, thank you so much. - a leading surgeon who was paralysed in a freak accident has achieved something that many people thought

would never be possible — he's returned to the operating table. mohammed belal is back to performing surgery at the queen elizabeth hospital, in birmingham, thanks to a wheelchair which lifts him to a standing position. michele paduano went to meet him. not a birthday but a celebration of a return to work after 21 months that not many thought possible. but one man never stopped believing. it's so important to have hope. you know, hope allows you to push on, and i knew i was going to try my best. whatever happens in the end, you know, you can try your best and accept that it may end in failure, it may not do, but if you don't try, then you never know. in february 2021, while cycling at 25 mph, mohammed belal was struck by a falling tree. as soon as he awoke, he knew he was paralysed. when i first met him injanuary he had been through several operations and months of physiotherapy. you have to be realistic, too, but at the same time you have to push as hard as you can and not give up.

i reframed my rehab as my newjob. his return to work is thanks to this £25,000 chair that elevates to allow him to stand whilst operating. at first, this leading surgeon will be working under the supervision of the man that he trained until he finds his feet. well, he says that it's a complete reversal, but really it will carry on the same and i'm just going to be a pair of hands to help him do his stuff. he's still going to tell me what i need to do and what needs to be done. the first operation requires 20 minutes standing and requires a lot of core strength to remain upright. i think there will be a few tears. i think there will. why is that? because we never thought we would have him back here and to have him back, he's an absolutely fantastic surgeon and to be able to come back and do what he does, i think it will be an emotional day for the theatre team. it's something i always wanted to go back to and, you know, i understood the challenges involved but it's _ going to be amazing to go back to doing what i've been trained

for and what i love doing. a remarkable achievement. brilliant story and lovely to see. heavy rain and flooding have caused transport problems in the south of england overnight. the m23 in sussex was closed between junctions 10 and 11 when around 20 cars became stuck in flood water near chichester. it re—opened at 8 o'clock this morning. the rail line from lewes to haywards heath was also blocked. the warning being although it has happened this morning, beware if you are heading out and about today because carol, i don't think you are going to cheer u5 because carol, i don't think you are going to cheer us up that much in terms of whether the rain will dissipate through the day.
