minutes — good morning. it's saturday november 19. nice to have your company. our top story — the prime minister rishi sunak has said he wants to make britain's streets safer for women and girls, following a number of recent high profile cases. mr sunak said his eldest daughter reaching the age where she wanted to walk to school by herself "brings home" the dangers faced by women and girls. simon jones has more, the role of prime minister inevitably brings with it a high level of security, but on a personal level, it was when rishi sunak�*s 11—year—old daughter said she wanted to walk to school herself that he had to reflect on the issue of safety. he told journalists "in the past i have taken for granted and many of us as men have, and the events of the last year showed us that so many women and girls, actually for a while, have not got as safe as they should, so tackling that in making a set of her people

of corporate manslaughter. a promise from the developed world to foot more of the climate bill has raised some hopes of breakthrough at cop 27. the climate summit in egypt has been extended for another day, as negotiations continue over the issue of how to compensate less wealthy nations for losses caused by global warming. a deal that all 200 countries will sign off on has yet to be reached. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill has more. as the event closes down around the negotiators, there is still deep divisions here. because what richer countries want to achieve and what the poorest countries need are at odds. developed nations want to focus on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, while the poorest and most vulnerable need funds for the damage already been caused by

6:15 am
good morning- — good morning. the rain is easing today so that's good news but we do expect further flood issues today so that's good news but we do expect furtherflood issues because we do still have seven severe flood warnings in force across north—eastern parts of scotland, particularly dundee and aberdeenshire. such a relentless band of rain here, blowing a gale across the northern isles and very choppy seas. 184 millimetres since wednesday, about 1.5 months of rain for some parts of eastern scotland. flood warnings or parts of eastern england as well but you can see the rain band today is lighter, patchy, misty and grey. a frosty start for northern ireland, some parts of wales with one or two patches of fog to lift but you can see we have drier weather on the cards and it is going to be chilly and we will notice that. temperatures will be below average for the next couple of days, i have not said that very much this autumn. this evening and overnight the rain from northern
6:16 am
ireland pushes its way east across all parts so again, it's not falling into the same wind direction or catchments but still unwelcome across central and eastern parts. it clears quickly but today of sunny spells and scattered heavy showers and the odd of thunder and again, feeling chilly with temperatures just the smidgen below what we would expect at this time in november. as i say, the flood risk is a real one is a go through the course of today, rachel and charlie.— is a go through the course of today, rachel and charlie. helen, thank you so much. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily telegraph leads on the prime minister's comments revealing his fears for the safety of women on uk streets. the front page also features a picture of aspiring lawyer zara aleena, who was murdered last summer by a sexual predator who had only recently been released from prison on license. the daily mail is leading on the last—minute decision to ban alcohol in stadiums, just 48 hours before the world cup kicks off in doha.
6:17 am
paddington is also featured on the paper's front page. the toy bears laid in tribute to the late queen will now explore buckingham palace, before being donated via the charity barnardo“s. the world cup is also on the front page of the guardian. the world cup does start this weekend. the paper says migrant workers employed as security guards at one of the parks appear to be being paid as little as 35 pence an hour. the paper also questions whether the world cup may taint david beckham“s brand. meanwhile, the daily express reports on the cost—of—living crisis and christmas. it says the price of turkey has risen by nearly a fifth. the front page also shows an image of a happy adele after she announced her return to las vegas. just very, very quickly, i cannot get through the morning without mentioning this, apparently 80s style perms are back, they are all

6:19 am
climate scientists have warned that change needs to come from the top, from governments and companies. but science and innovation will play an important part. yeah. so this week, we're going to look at some of the latest green ideas. and first off, take a deep breath. deep inhalation and exhale. if you live in the green, it's easy to forget what life is like in the grey. the air literally can smell sweeter, and it's definitely cleaner. the world health organization says air pollution poses a major threat to health and climate, and it kills an estimated seven million people worldwide every year. now, we're not all going to move back to nature but what if we could bring nature into the cities?
6:20 am
just outside berlin, this company is trying to freshen up oururban air. this is a biofilter which is sucking air in through the bottom and pumping it back out through this wall of moss. to illustrate that, we've got a smoke machine from the local discotheque. and if i just show you... there you go. it's going in through the bottom and out through the moss. and what happens to the air as it comes back out through the moss is where the magic happens. moss eats pollution. it sticks to its tiny leaves. it“s absorbed, digested, and then is turned into more moss. so, as fans draw dirty air in, the bad stuff is left on the moss leaves, leaving cleaner air to flow back out. the idea of using moss“ natural filtering properties came to the founder after he went for a jog.
6:21 am
so, i was in shanghai and i did a lot of exercise outdoors to get back in shape, so go out for runs. and after i think two or three months, i started to have difficulties breathing and that's when i thought maybe i caught the flu, maybe i caught the cold, and it kept on lasting until the point i really left china, left shanghai and went went back to germany. and only after i came back, i realised, "hey, there“s definitely "a connection to the air quality in china and my personal health". that's when it clicked and i realised i have to do something about the air quality in cities. for the past eight years, green city solutions have been growing moss up to 15 times faster than in nature. each moss mat takes just under 12 weeks to grow. and i have to say, there's something very soothing about being in their greenhouse. do you just come in here and stroke the moss? when i'm stressed.
6:22 am
laughter. ..cool about moss is that this plant doesn't have roots, so they can capture all nutrients through the walls, leaves or leaves“ surface. so, you can imagine, like the normal plants, it takes the nutrients from the earth, but it's moss. it can capture everything. the second thing is, like, every plant's moss can absorb c02 because it needs for photosynthesis, for the energy. but the benefit is the density of the moss is pretty high, so we need this higher leaf—surface ratio to capture as much as possible. so now, we are going to take a sample. you? i can do it? for sure. let's tweeze some moss. got some. perfect. now we can have a look under the microscope. there we go. and it's in the lab where we'll get to see moss“s super power. the plant acts a lot like a human lung, whose high surface area can absorb a lot of the air in one go.
6:23 am
and just like the lungs of a smoker, which end up getting blackened by tar, moss could act like the lungs of a city, eventually being covered in the stuff that we don't want to breathe. so, this is from our one active products. and the black bits are the... exactly. this is the fine dust or particles from polluted air. and these are the green cells. and it means that the moss is still healthy because it's green. but they are pretty powerful. really good. moss fan. well, yeah — i am, somehow! laughs. as well as pulling pollutants out of the air, there's another advantage to these biofilters, too. here's a piece of moss and here's a thermal—imaging camera, and you can see the temperature is about room temperature. but look — when i point this at the air that's coming out of the moss, when you switch
6:24 am
the ventilation on, look how much cooler it is. so, not only does this clean the air, it cools it, too. and of course, pulling pollutants out of the atmosphere could help cool more than just your local surroundings. air pollution and climate change are also directly related. we have pollutants in air pollution — for instance, black carbon, which speed up the heating of the planet. and by binding those pollutants, we also help to decelerate climate change. you'll already see these biofilters in several cities around the world, although you might not have realised that you're sitting in front of a load of moss. and to make sure the moss is as effective and long—lived as possible, the health of each moss mat can be monitored from hq. an algorithm can control the irrigation, depending on the individual conditions. so, in the future, i would envision that many buildings and the facades of the buildings would be covered
6:25 am
in our solutions and, of course, you could also have motorways — large stretches. you could also use our moss filters to clean and cool the air and maybe even protect it from noise. moss on its own won't solve the climate crisis, but in amongst the talk of inventing greener technologies, it may be worth taking a lead from something that's been right under our feet the whole time. after all, nature has been regulating the environment much longer than we've been disrupting it. moss — who“d have thought it could be so useful? the lungs of a city! nature's natural filter. now, as companies try to reduce their carbon footprint and their impact on the climate, there are lots of different things that they could try. you could change your manufacturing process, how you transport goods or even move factories, but all of these are big things to do, so you really need to know which is going to work best.
6:26 am
how do you do it? answer — get yourself a digital twin. you make a virtual copy of your entire business and try stuff out in that first. alasdair keane's been to see the makers of dettol, who are trying to assess whether they can make their new products more sustainable or not. we use these kinds of products every day, from cleaning table tops to personal hygiene and health. these brands are made by one company, called reckitt, and the industry to get them from factories to our homes is fast—moving and comes with a big impact on the planet. not huge, but important that we look at that carbon footprint and think how are we going to reduce it, decarbonise it? the product carbon footprint — that's everything from the raw materials all the way through to people using products — has to come down by 50% by 2030. that's going to take longer process. that's where we have to think not just about our factories, but the ingredients that we use, the packaging.
6:27 am
to work out how they can meet targets, the company is turning to a digital replica of everything they do through a programme called resilience. so, this is it. this is the digital twin. this is resilience. this is resilience“s version of different companies. we map them as a digital twin. we're looking at the data from a pretend company but the programme is bringing together lots of information, such as the miles that individual ingredients are shipped or how much energy each factory uses. it then runs lots of scenarios over the company to see how sustainable it is now and in the future. we've got a large team of analysts who compile a lot of data forecasts out into the future, looking at how policy“s likely to change in different countries of the world and how taxes are likely to change. the digital twin is also helping firms map the impact climate change is already having on their operations. so, this is an example of its factories in the united states and how they might be
6:28 am
subjected to future patterns of hurricane risk. and look at how often it's going to get disrupted, the cost to the business of that particular thing. and then, a company can then start to make changes in the laboratories here. they can work on a new product, put it into the programme and find out if it will make a difference? exactly, yes. so, that's where we're heading next. safety goggles on as i've been given rare access to the room where the next big thing in cleaning could be on the verge of discovery and where they're also adjusting existing product lines. we changed one of the ingredients, so it now uses lactic acid, and that's plant—based and it has a lower carbon footprint. and so, we looked at what resilience was telling us about where carbon footprints and maybe carbon tax in the future will affect us and we thought what are the ingredients we can change? and by moving to lower carbon ingredients, things like lactic acid, which is developed from fermenting maize, we were able to reduce the carbon footprint and that means it's set up for the future — a low—carbon,
6:29 am
low—water economy. reckitt aren't the only ones turning to this tech. there are estimates the market for digital twins could be worth a billions of dollars over the next decade. but having all the data on sustainability is one thing companies need to act on it. i think when a lot of people hear about big companies and sustainability, they probably roll their eyes because big companies are out to make money. what is the balance there between being more sustainable and and still bringing pounds in? well, the key here is how we can decarbonise and still grow. so, if we can achieve our ambition to be net zero by 2040, we can grow as well, and that decouples those two those two topics. it could be years before we know if the decisions companies are making now will really help the planet. this tech is making that a little bit less of a gamble. and that's it for the short version of the programme.

7:03 am
following a number of recent high profile cases. mr sunak said his eldest daughter reaching the age where she wanted to walk to school by herself brings home the dangers faced by women and girls. simon jones has more. the role of prime minister inevitably brings with it a high level of security, but on a personal level, it was when rishi sunak�*s 11—year—old daughter said she wanted to walk to school herself that he had to reflect on the issue of safety. he told journalists "in the past i have taken for granted, and many of us as men have, and the events of the last year showed us that so many women and girls, actually for a while, have not felt as safe as they should, so tackling that and making it safer for people is something that is personally quite important to me". this march and calls for change was in honour of zara aleena, who was attacked walking home in east london injune. police said that she had
7:04 am
every reason to be there and every right to feel safe. jordan mcsweeney was seen later on tape following her. yesterday, he pled guilty to murder. he had been recently released from prison and his license had been revoked by the prison service. in a separate case, raneem oudeh and her mother, khaola saleem, were killed in 2018. they didn't feel safe. they had asked the police to help. they were stabbed to death by raneem oudeh's estranged husband, janbaz tarin. this was him following them on a night out. police have failed raneem and khaola beyond imagination. they had so many opportunities to save their lives, right up until the end. both were murdered. while on the phone to the police, begging for help. this is the moment tarin was finally arrested. yesterday, a jury at their inquest found earlier police errors materially contributed to the women's deaths. west midlands police have apologised. last year, the murder of sarah everard by a member
7:05 am
of the met police sparked protests and a debate on women's safety. police say it is still rare for people to be abducted from the streets, but have promised reform. rishi sunak has said he is committed to more police on the streets and increasing the number of present places. labour has accused the government of taking an axe to the vital services that are supposed to protect us. simon jones, bbc news. the family and friends of awaab ishak will hold a vigil in his memory later today. the two year old died because of mould in his rented home. his family are also calling for the resignation of gareth swarbrick, chief executive of their housing association, rochdale boroughwide housing, who they say should face a charge of corporate manslaughter. a promise from the developed world to foot more of the climate bill has raised some hopes of breakthrough at cop 27. the climate summit in egypt has been extended for another day, as negotiations continue over the issue of how to compensate less wealthy nations for losses caused by global warming.
7:06 am
a deal that all 200 countries will sign off on has yet to be reached. our science correspondent victoria gill has more. as the event closes down around the negotiators, there are still deep divisions here, because what richer countries want to achieve and what the poorest countries need are at odds. we will not stop! all: we will not stop! developed nations want to focus on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, while the poorest and most vulnerable need funds for the damage already been caused by climate change. those two things are — are held against each other, because developed countries have a lot of interest in the reduction of emissions, and developing countries are very interested in the fund to support them in disaster situations. so that is what is holding up a final decision at this cop. the floods in pakistan this year
7:07 am
showed the world just what climate change can cost. lost lives, homes washed away. and when ten—year—old nakeeyat dramani sam from ghana addressed the delegates here at cop 27, she shared her experience of a warming world. last month, in accra, where i live in ghana, was heavy rain that burst a dam. cars were under water. people were paddling canoes where there had been streets. thousands fled houses. it was very scary. for those countries that produce the least emissions but suffer the most, this about accountability. we know it's because of climate change. we know it's because polluters have made is the most difficult thing. the g20 among us. and i was encouraged to see the statement because they are acknowledging
7:08 am
as being the 80% of global emission holders they have a huge responsibility. the polluter must pay. that is the principle we must go by. but the decision now is purely political. can countries come together and agree? we are heading into the weekend so there is real pressure on the negotiators here. this has been called africa's cop, so countries on the frontline of climate change and its devastating impacts, many of which are in this continent, will want to see a breakthrough before they head home. thank you very much for your attention. whether a deal here makes that impact or not, it is future generations that have to live with the consequences. victoria gill, bbc news. almost half of ukraine's energy system has been crippled by a recent wave of russian missile and drone strikes, and 10 million ukrainians are without power. officials in kyiv have warned the capital city faces a complete shutdown of its power grid, as temperatures drop below freezing.

7:16 am
you're right, these are appalling cases and we all read them and just feel horror at what happened to these women and you're absolutely right, i welcome the prime minister wanting to focus on the issue. but we need not lipservice any more, we need real action and it takes a comprehensive approach so help police are prioritising these cases and actually labour put forward an amendment in the recent crime bill which the government accepted to make sure that violence against women and girls was a priority for the police. we need tougher sentencing, action online like you say in tackling misogyny, we need to make misogyny a hate crime which, it currently isn't. we need a whole range of things that the labour party set up we are happy to work with the government if they want to bring in that plan.— bring in that plan. what is your attitude because _ bring in that plan. what is your attitude because i _ bring in that plan. what is your attitude because i know - bring in that plan. what is your attitude because i know you i bring in that plan. what is your. attitude because i know you have children, what is your attitude when you teach them about personal safety going out? because it should be

every female's right to go out for an evening and not living in fear at their own personal safety but realistically, are you saying to them be careful? don't walk out on your own? always make sure someone knows where you are at any time? take precautions about the way that you look. are you having those conversations? i you look. are you having those conversations?— you look. are you having those conversations? , ., ., , conversations? i try not to make my own daughter _ conversations? i try not to make my own daughter anxious _ conversations? i try not to make my own daughter anxious about - conversations? i try not to make my own daughter anxious about these l own daughter anxious about these things. i think we all do. while at the same time making all of my children, actually, aware of these issues so that they can live their lives safely and accordingly but of course, we know as women, don't we, these are things we have to think about when we do go out of an evening or when we're walking home on own perhaps in a way that men don't but of course these women were in their own homes, in this particular case, and so we are seeing a challenge here with police who of course are massively stretched at the moment but are not prioritising these sorts of crimes and are not hearing these cries for

euros i8 all remember in the wake of the euros 18 months ago the huge wave of racist abuse that many of our footballers received after missing some penalties. well, they are still open to that now because the online safety bill the then prime minister promised to bring in to stop such abuse online is still not in force. it's on the government that it is not and we're still seeing this every day. not and we're still seeing this every day-— not and we're still seeing this every day. one thing i think is happening _ every day. one thing i think is happening more _ every day. one thing i think is happening more often i every day. one thing i think is happening more often it i every day. one thing i think is happening more often it is i happening more often it is individuals are calling out those who post — individuals are calling out those who post things about them so they will literally then repost things. so it— will literally then repost things. so it is— will literally then repost things. so it is done in plain sight so you call people — so it is done in plain sight so you call people out. i don't know how much _ call people out. i don't know how much you — call people out. i don't know how much you can or are prepared to say about— much you can or are prepared to say about your— much you can or are prepared to say about your own experiences because mps and _ about your own experiences because mps and lots of other public figures. _ mps and lots of other public figures, sporting figures included, often _ figures, sporting figures included, often in _ figures, sporting figures included, often in the firing line. what are you prepared to share with us about how it _ you prepared to share with us about how it has _ you prepared to share with us about how it has affected you? | you prepared to share with us about how it has affected you?— how it has affected you? i don't listen to it- _ how it has affected you? i don't listen to it. well, i how it has affected you? i don't listen to it. well, that's i how it has affected you? i don't listen to it. well, that's one i listen to it. well, that's one attitude but i listen to it. well, that's one attitude but still, i listen to it. well, that's one attitude but still, it i listen to it. well, that's one attitude but still, it can i listen to it. well, that's one attitude but still, it can stilli listen to it. well, that's one i attitude but still, it can still be there — attitude but still, it can still be there. it— attitude but still, it can still be there. 77, . attitude but still, it can still be there. ., , �*, there. it can and sometimes it's

7:45 am
edinburgh and durham have had about one month's rainfall. looming large, the next area of low pressure, massive cloud in the atlantic will make landfall across northern ireland before dark but for most of us it is a more dry day although still we have rain promote weather front across eastern parts of england and is scotland and may creep further westward through the day as well. so any rain, even bigger is lighter, is not welcome. it is where we will have quite grey and misty and murky conditions and we have morning fog elsewhere but otherwise sunshine coming through. it's chilly or it will feel chilly, only nine or ten the high today and the rain marching in and a strengthening wind, gals by the end of the day in parts of western scotland. before gales. it looks dry and fine for the rugby league world cup final taking place so that set fair but as we go through the evening and overnight perhaps the drive home there will be more rain on the way. a good, steady 15 or 20
7:46 am
millimetres in higher parts and again, although different catchment areas potentially across scotland more rain under saturated ground not welcome but not as julie more rain under saturated ground not welcome but not asjulie overnight tonight, quite a brisk wind blowing the rain eased, still have a keen wind across the northern isles but when should blow the rain away, little bit more quickly during the course of tomorrow so we start off perhaps on a wet night in eastern areas, writerfor the perhaps on a wet night in eastern areas, writer for the showers get going on a brisk wind, heavy showers, rumble of thunder, 8—11 as i say, a little on the chilly side compared with what we're used to. ahead of the next area of loan metaphor rain —— rain, but it doesn't last, looking wet and potentially windy again as we move into monday. this time, we are also concerned the southern and eastern areas, charlie and rachel, which of course i've had some big issues with flooding earlier in the week and still some flood warnings in force at the moment.—

7:50 am
of statistics in his autumn statement on thursday. later in the studio, the bbc�*s economics editor faisal islam ran through some of them. now, here are today's borrowing numbers — in yellow. the key thing is that they're large and they stay high. now, back in march, the official forecasts for government borrowing were much lower — in blue. the obr is forecasting that those tax rises and more significantly, the uk inflation rate, now at its highest rate in 41 years, will also drive those historic falls in real household disposable income. robin petherbridge was watching that and had this response:
7:51 am
well, bbc news said they would give us a response to those questions and we'll bring you that next week. the statement was, of course, long—awaited, and there had been plenty of previewing and speculation about what it might contain in the media over the past few weeks. as part of the build—up, last weekend's sunday with laura kuenssberg included an interview withjeremy hunt. will government departments get extra money now this year to deal with the costs of inflation? or are you going to, as everyone expects, tell them they've got to stick with what they were given in 2021? well, as you know, laura, and i think andrea knows, i'm going to announce the decisions on those things on thursday. well, again, without explaining to you now what i need to announce properly to the house of commons on thursday, i will be announcing what will happen from april on thursday. i'm not going to say now what that is. laura, you're being very artful in trying to get me to confirm elements of the package that i announce on thursday, as i would expect from you. but i'm not going to
7:52 am
do that, i'm afraid. a viewer called jens, originally from germany but now living in northamptonshire, contacted us about that interview and recorded his response for us. as per usual, laura kuenssberg interviewed the chancellor on her sunday morning programme before the big budget announcement on thursday. this seems to be the same pattern as andrew marr did before in his programme on a sunday, that it always had the chancellor of the exchequer on their programme before any such announcement, which then gives the chancellor each time the cop—out to say, "oh, i can't give you any more details about the budget — "you have to wait until the announcement on thursday." so my — my issue, therefore, is why are you not inviting the chancellor the sunday after such an announcement, where he then could give further detail, further explanation to the budget details? well, we asked the sunday with laura kuenssberg team for a response to that point, and they told us:
7:53 am
news desks went onto high alert on tuesday evening as reports came in of a development which looked potentially to be highly significant. tonight at 10:00, a russian missile — part of a big attack on ukraine — is said to have killed two people on a farm in poland. it would be the first time for nato territory to be hit in the current conflict but russia strongly denies
7:54 am
any responsibility. given that article 5 of nato's constitution requires countries to come to the defense of a fellow nato member if attacked, the prospect was soon being discussed of a military response against russia. by the next day, though, it was widely accepted that the missiles had come by accident from ukrainian air defence. cue a collective sigh of relief, but some viewers had questions to ask about the bbc�*s reporting of the incident. paul deakin wondered: and here's keith tindall:
7:55 am
do let us know your thoughts on anything we're featuring in this programme or any aspect of bbc news. details of how to contact us at the end of the programme. but now, for some of your other comments this week. the mixture of politics and showbusiness can be awkward, even excruciating, but it also provides a spectacle that many find compelling. that's evident from the interest in former health secretary matt hancock's appearance in the australian jungle as a contestant in itv�*s hit show i'm a celebrity... get me out of here, which featured on bbc one news bulletins last saturday. what i'm really looking for is a bit of forgiveness — that's what i'm really looking for. hey. oh, my god — i nearly cried then. well, political correspondent jonathan blake joins us. i how did matt hancock i defend himself, jonathan?
7:56 am
he said it was a mistake to have broken the guidance that he had set that wasn't what pam park wanted from bbc news. and sue reynolds echoed that. another conservative mp in the spotlight this week was deputy prime minister dominic raab, who asked for an investigation to be held into his behaviour after two formal complaints were made against him. the day before that, bbc political editor chris mason interviewed the prime minister at the g20 summit in bali and asked him about the allegations against mr raab. were there any concerns, even informal ones, raised with you about the conduct of dominic raab before you appointed him as your deputy?
7:57 am
i've been very clear. i don't recognise the characterisation of dominic's behaviour, and i also was not and am not aware of any formal complaints. i asked if there were any informal? no. there's a formal complaints process, and that's the important thing that people should avail themselves of that... let me be clear — are you saying there was nobody or no document made any even informal reference to his conduct, separate from a formal complaint? but i think it is important that we have a — we do — have a formal complaints process. but did anyone raise anything informally? i said, i don't recognise the characterisation of dominic's behaviour personally. john dean objected. and peter staker made a different point.
7:58 am
but others admired chris mason's interview. for instance, adrian lake, who told him on twitter: david hicks agreed. the un climate summit, cop27, has been continuing this week in egypt, and we reported last week on some viewers' concerns that the bbc�*s reporting of the summit was alarmist and could increase anxiety among the audience. anne wash disagreed with that, writing: we also mentioned in last week's programmejustin rowlatt�*s practice of wearing jeans on air and asked
7:59 am
for your thoughts on that. we've had a big response, with colin wildman joining in the criticism of his attire. but vikki slade came to his defence. ian shemilt agreed, adding: it's safe to say no jeans were worn by anyone involved in the bbc�*s first—ever news bulletin, which was broadcast 100 years ago this monday. the british broadcasting company, as it was then, was made up of a number of stations operated by different companies,
8:00 am
including london 2lo, run by marconi. the 6pm bulletin on the 14th of november, 1922, was read by arthur burrows, who soon took on the additional roles of director of programmes and children's presenter. although no recording exists, we know that first news programme contained a report from the old bailey, a speech from the prime minister, details of the fog in london and the latest billiard scores. and although newswatch wasn't on the air then, audience feedback was requested. burrows read the bulletin twice, once fast and once slowly, and listeners were asked to write in with their preference. do let us know your preferences on the current speed of news reading or anything else. you can email us. or you can find us on twitter. you can call us. and do you have a look at our website. that's all from us. we'll be back next week, talking to clive myrie,
8:01 am
and to hear more of your thoughts about bbc news coverage. goodbye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and charlie stayt. our headlines today. the prime minister says he wants to make britain's streets safer for women and girls, after a number of high profile cases over the past year. it comes as police failings were found to have contributed to the deaths of a mother and daughter, who were murdered after officers dismissed their concerns about the killer. a vigil�*s to held in memory of awaab ishak, the two—year—old who died because of mold in his home. good morning from doha. we'll have the latest from qatar as fans are banned from drinking at world cup stadiums, but back at home it's
8:02 am
a brilliant night for england as they are crowned wheelchair rugby league world champions, beating france in a thrilling final. the finishing line's in sight for kevin sinfield. these are live pictures this morning. he's on the final day of his epic, week—long ultra—marathon challenge in aid of mnd charities. he will be an halifax in half an hour's time but the scenes already this morning since he left bradford are like none we have seen this week. some towns and villages have turned out and they could join hands along the whole route. incredible stuff. good morning. severe flood warnings remain in force particularly in eastern scotland where the rivers are responding still to a month and a half worth of rain in some places. today's rain is lighter and more patchy. and i'll have a full weather forecast for the whole of the united kingdom in around 15 minutes.
8:03 am
good morning. it's saturday 19th november. our top story. the prime minister rishi sunak has said he wants to make britain's streets safer for women and girls, following a number of recent high profile cases. mr sunak said his eldest daughter reaching the age where she wanted to walk to school by herself "brings home" the dangers faced by women and girls. simon jones has more, the role of prime minister inevitably brings with it a high level of security. but on a personal level, it was when rishi sunak�*s 11—year—old daughter said she wanted to walk to school herself that he had to reflect on the issue of safety. he told journalists — in the past i've taken it for granted and many of us as men have, and the events of the last year showed us that so many women and girls actually, for a while, have not felt
8:04 am
safe as they should. so tackling that in making it safer for people is something that is personally quite important to me. there have been numerous walks, vigils and protests calling for change. this one was in honour of zara alleema. she was attacked by a stranger as she was walking home in east london injune. police said she had every right to be there, every right to feel safe. jordan mcsweeney was caught on camera following her. yesterday, he pleaded guilty to murder. at the time of the attack, he only recently been released from prison and his licence had been revoked by the probation service. in a separate case, these women were killed in solihull in 2018. they didn't feel safe, they had asked the police for help. they were stabbed to death by her estranged husband. this is him following them on a night out. west midlands police have failed them beyond imagination. they had so many opportunities to save their lives right up until the end. both were murdered while on the phone.
8:05 am
to the police. begging for help. this is the moment he was finally arrested. yesterday, a jury at the inquest found in earlier police errors materially contributed to their deaths. west midlands police have apologised. last year, the murder of sarah everard by a met police officer prompted grief protests and a national debate on women's safety. please say it still rare for people to be abducted from the streets but have promised reform. rishi sunak said he is committed to putting more police officers on the streets and increasing the number of prison places. but labour has accused the government are taking an axe to the vital services that are supposed to protect us. simonjones, bbc news. the family and friends of awaab ishak will hold a vigil in his memory later today. the two—year—old died because of mould in his rented home. his family are also calling for the resignation of gareth swarbrick, chief executive of their housing association — rochdale boroughwide housing — who they say should face a charge
8:06 am
of corporate manslaughter. a promise from the developed world to foot more of the climate bill has raised some hopes of breakthrough at cop 27. the climate summit in egypt has been extended for another day, as negotiations continue over the issue of how to compensate less wealthy nations for losses caused by global warming. a deal that all 200 countries will sign off on has yet to be reached. our science correspondent victoria gill has more. as the event closes down around the negotiators, there are still deep divisions here. because what richer countries want to achieve and what the poorest countries need are at odds. developed nations want to focus on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. while the poorest and most vulnerable need funds for the damage already being caused by

could be a sprinkling in the shower sat follow, so 9—11 really quite chilly. sunday night into monday looks a chilly one as the rain clears away. the calmer head of the next storm, if you like, so a frosty start on monday, patchy fog, but we go again with more rain, more wind on monday. this time, it could be that the south and east of england see wettest of the weather, so no sign of the moment, charlie and rachel, of respite for many, although it does look a little bit drierfor although it does look a little bit drier for those severely affected today but still patchy rain. thanks very much- _ today but still patchy rain. thanks very much- we — today but still patchy rain. thanks very much. we will i today but still patchy rain. thanks very much. we will see i today but still patchy rain. thanks very much. we will see later i today but still patchy rain. thanks very much. we will see later on. i the family and friends of two—year—old awaab ishak, who died because of mould in his rented home, will hold a vigil in rochdale in his memory later today. but there are hundreds of other families living in houses with mould. carer anna rozalska showed tim muffett how the issue is affecting her family. on the top of my ceiling, it's horrendous! it makes me feel sick.
8:18 am
it's in the lounge. it's in the kitchen. in the bathroom. it's come through the paper! it's in my girls' bedrooms — all over the place. anna's council—owned flat is covered in mould. she's lived here in halesworth in suffolk with her husband and their two children for seven years. my nine—years—old daughter, she's getting really bad cough and allergy, and sometimes she's getting rash on her skin as well. my husband, as well, he's getting chest infections. anna is a carer. jane's family is one of several she helps support. but today it's jane who's supporting anna. you see, the thing is, if it goes in your lungs, that can grow in your lungs. it's terrible. absolutely shocking. horrified. absolutely horrified. she's a very caring person and it must worry her about her children.
8:19 am
and it also worries her greatly about her husband. earlier this week, an inquest into the death of two—year—old awaab ishak ruled that he died due to exposure to mould in his family's flat in rochdale. for some campaigners, the ruling, whilst shocking, didn't come as a surprise. i mean, it's absolutely horrific. it's all too common. i've traveled the country over the last 18 months speaking to tenants — hundreds of tenants living in similar situations with damp and mould, vulnerable individuals, those dying of cancer to young kids growing up in those sorts of environments. this is my children's bedroom. this week, residents on the estate where awaab died said mould is still a problem. rochdale borough wide housing, the association which manages the properties, says it is installing improved ventilation systems. but yesterday, rochdale council said it wanted to take back control of the properties run by the housing association.
8:20 am
could technology help? in glasgow, a pilot project's being run by the city council. sensors that detect damp conditions have been installed in 30 homes. the idea is that they alert the council if damp or mould is detected before health problems arise. the council says the scheme could be rolled out in social housing across the city. reaches those who really need it. in england, housing secretary michael gove promised this week to hold failing landlords to account. they have now been given ample opportunity to change their ways and to start treating residents with the respect they deserve. the time for empty promises of improvement is over. michael gove says he's going to name and shame failing landlords. what's your reaction to that? i think that's great. i think we absolutely need that. but where do we go when naming and shaming isn't effective? i think it needs to go much further than that. i think criminal prosecutions need to happen against landlords that are found to be risking the lives and health and safety of their tenants. because how many times
8:21 am
are we going to stand here and talk about similar situations to awaab? back in suffolk, anna says she's repeatedly told the council about her mould, but the response is always the same. theyjust told me to wipe off and use the bleach. it has come back again in a very short time. and keep the windows open. it's impossible because, when i'm going to keep my windows open, it's going to be cold at home. east suffolk council told the bbc it acknowledged that action was needed. it said it had allocated a dedicated member of staff to work closely with the tenant to resolve the issues together. for many families living in damp, mouldy conditions, concerns have deepened following the tragic story of awaab ishak, his death having shone a spotlight on the potential health risks of substandard housing. tim muffett, bbc news. housing lawyer daniel fitzpatrickjoins us now from our london newsroom.
8:22 am
good morning, daniel. ithink so many people will be more alert to the dangers of mould as a result of this tragic case. butjust how common problem is it? what sense do you get from people speak to? it’s a you get from people speak to? it's a very common _ you get from people speak to? it's a very common problem. i you get from people speak to? it�*s — very common problem. and we get many cases referred to us. and one of the difficulties with mould is that landlords first reaction is to blame the tenant, say it is a lifestyle, and the reason for that is that condensation dampness is not strictly disrepair under the act, and what they try to say is it's the tenant that is causing moisture in the air, such as not ventilating properly, doing laundry, and tried to blame the tenant and therefore they say it's not their responsibility. and that is a very, very common problem. ietuihat responsibility. and that is a very, very common problem.— responsibility. and that is a very, very common problem. what are your 0 tions if very common problem. what are your options if you — very common problem. what are your options if you do _ very common problem. what are your options if you do all— very common problem. what are your options if you do all the i very common problem. what are your options if you do all the right i options if you do all the right things as a tenant, ventilate, open
8:23 am
the windows, difficult in the winter but let's say you open them for a bit if there is moisture in the air? you clean it, as you saw on the film there, you clean it with bleach, you try to maintain the property as best you can, and it still keeps coming back? what are the options for you then as a tenant if the landlord won't act?— then as a tenant if the landlord won't act? well, first of all you have to raise i won't act? well, first of all you have to raise it i won't act? well, first of all you have to raise it with i won't act? well, first of all you have to raise it with landlord, i won't act? well, first of all you i have to raise it with landlord, make sure that you put the landlord on notice and that's very important. if a landlord is not told about this repair, they won't be held liable. i would certainly do it in writing, take photographs, and then, if the landlord doesn't take action, if it is a social landlord, they have internal complaints procedures, usually a three tiered complaints process. and you can then go to the housing ombudsman as well. the government is proposing as well that the housing ombudsman is extended to cover private sector as well. and ultimately, you can take a claim for
8:24 am
disrepair against your landlord and force them to take the action necessary. force them to take the action necessary-— force them to take the action necessa . . , ., . ., , necessary. the danger is of course, as well, necessary. the danger is of course, as well. if. — necessary. the danger is of course, as well. if. as _ necessary. the danger is of course, as well, if, as a i necessary. the danger is of course, as well, if, as a tenant, i necessary. the danger is of course, as well, if, as a tenant, you i necessary. the danger is of course, as well, if, as a tenant, you paint i as well, if, as a tenant, you paint over it, for example and it comes back and spread is the problem gets worse. are we talking about a lot of houses that just aren't fit for purpose? houses that 'ust aren't fit for pu.pese._ houses that 'ust aren't fit for --urose? . h , 7, purpose? yeah. it's design. that often causes _ purpose? yeah. it's design. that often causes dampness. i often causes dampness. unfortunately, it's often in modern bills. there is an proper ventilation, there isn't a proper heating system, and this is why it causes this mould growth to happen in the properties. i think it is extremely wrong landlords try to say it's a lifestyle of the tenant and immediately blame them saying it's their fault and not immediately blame them saying it's theirfault and not mine. instead of being proactive. butl theirfault and not mine. instead of being proactive. but i would say that tenants also have got a right, and of the fitness for human habitation, which is an implied covenant, which has now been brought
8:25 am
in and enforced in all tenancies, since 2020, and therefore it is the tenant living in property free from things like mould and that can be enforced against the landlord. and enforced against the landlord. and do ou enforced against the landlord. and do you think _ enforced against the landlord. and do you think there is a chance that this terrible case will spark landlords into action to do something about this problem on their properties? i something about this problem on their properties?— something about this problem on their properties? i think so, yeah. i think it their properties? i think so, yeah. i think it is — their properties? i think so, yeah. i think it is certainly i their properties? i think so, yeah. i think it is certainly raising i their properties? i think so, yeah. i think it is certainly raising the i i think it is certainly raising the issue on a national level, something which i have seen, and i think is very, very common, but the enforcement is difficult. the complaints procedures i have mentioned are quite weak. private landlords don't even have a proper complaints procedure and theyjust ignore. tenants are afraid to complain to a private landlord because they could get evicted then. so i think there is a lot to be done and i think protecting tenants rights and making sure that they are secure, having a proper complaints procedure, and also if necessary
8:26 am
being able to have access to bring a claim for breach of their tenancy and breach of the act. to force the landlord to do the necessary works. thank you very much indeed, daniel fitzpatrick, a housing lawyer. the time now is 8.26. let's introduce you to seven—year—old ravi. last year, seven—year—old ravi had to re—learn how to walk and feed himself after undergoing a major operation to remove a tumour from his brain and it made him determined to help other children going through the same ordeal. exactly one year on from the surgery, he's teamed up with some very big stars — including bastille, coldplay and paloma faith — to release his very own charity single. sara smith reports. # close my eyes and i can see. # a world that's waiting up for me. # that i call my own #. they call it ravi's silver lining. a glimmer of hope through the trauma
8:27 am
of having a brain tumour. this was his idea, recording his favourite song. but when you've parents with a host of music connections — his dad is in the band metronomy, his mum was a music booker — things can, well, grow. # they can say, they can say it all sounds crazy. and the video is a blink—and—you'll—miss—them roll call of famous names. bethan is a big picture. go big or go home kind of person. and so i think, like, as soon as we started actually thinking about working on the song and the people that we knew or people we thought we might have access to things kind of snowballed, i think is the word. # cos every night i lie in bed. # the brightest i colours fill my head. ravi himself has always loved music and perhaps even more so sport. so what does this video mean to him? i think wow.
8:28 am
i think what was actually supposed to be mummyjust recording me, singing a song on the phone turned into that. # they could say, they could say it all sounds crazy. it's about never stop dreaming. it's like it fits of what i'm trying to do here. even after extensive surgery, some of the tumour too dangerous to remove remains affecting his left side. but with a video, he wants to raise funds for research and awareness of symptoms crucial, according to his surgeon. if people do not know- about the symptoms and signs of brain tumours and how i they present in children all the way from when they're neonates i and infants all the way up to kind of teenage, young adulthood, then lwe're not getting early diagnosis. i his parents had no clue how many people would get involved with the video. they had the contacts, but ravi made the real connections. a lot of them have met ravi,
8:29 am
or he's written them a letter or done a video asking people to be involved and getting to meet him and getting to see his spirit is what got people engaged in it and helped create the vision that came out at the end. but when one message arrived, everyone was stunned. hi, ravi, it's huthackman. i think you're amazing that you're always thinking of others. but don't forget to dream big for you. and everyone around you, including us, is dreaming with you. yeah, that's what makes it really magical. when i go, they actually care enough to do that for us in our video. # i think of what i the world could be. # a vision of the one i see. the hope now that donations from those who watch the video will be as generous. sarah smith, bbc news. cani can ijust can i just say, can ijust say, that child has a gorgeous voice. what a lovely, lovely story. heroes come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes, don't they? let's catch up on

8:35 am
son to have to go through this. we've raised 6,200 as a family since january last year, which is nothing compared to kev but, you know... every little helps. some have always asked i the question and said how does it impact the family, i and it was probably the best and worst of times. and some of them say how can it be i the best of times when, actually, i we knew we only had a year to go. that was it. it was a year diagnosis. but we make sure we made as many memories as we could, _ it brought the family together. three brothers. we could only do what we could do for our dad and for our mum. i but, actually, tough time, i but brought us all closer together. new runners join the team. all know why they're here. would you normally run a distance like this? no, not particularly. but, you know, it's infectious and you're infectious and you're led by kev at the front. and he's such a leader. he almost dictates everything. and the group are incredible, there's such a good team behind everyone.
8:36 am
i'm going through my hometown, bramley. pretty sure my lad's got a bit of dispensation to come out and see his dad. a bit of a hill before that, and then we are off up into bradford. so the end is nigh, but pleasure to be here. applause and waiting for them at the headingley home ground, rob burrow, the man whose diagnosis inspired this incredible challenge of seven ultra—marathons in seven days. i know you're all stood side to side with us, just like we have tried to do for rob. lindsay and the family. our team, i can't thank you enough. the support, the awareness we've created, the money we have raised. i'm sure there has been a fewjokes and things along the way and a few tales told, but we've been watching in awe and just incredibly proud of them all. for them to do this,
8:37 am
not only physically but mentally do this challenge, as i say, it's mind—blowing. mnd is unconscionably cruel to all those it touches, but kev�*s campaign brings positivity with every mile covered. being in touch with kevin all the time. all the time. his machine has been sending him lovely messages. "keep it going, mate." you know? it's unbelievable, the friendship between them is fantastic. everybody needs a friend like kevin. they do. it would be a better world. what was it kev said at one point? "if it had of been the other way around, rob, would you have done it for me?" and what was the answer? oh, i'm sure he would have done. he would have done his best. he would have done. yeah. running 40 miles a day is really taking its toll. kev, chris and dave are being held together by their expert support team and a lot of tape. what's your body saying to you? it's broken.
8:38 am
taping on calves and hamstrings. great work. and then just going at a kilometre a time now. yeah, it's really tough. is that it? just one more, one more, one more? it absolutely has to be. it has to be. the route was planned to connect three elite sportsmen, members of a club no—one wants tojoin. and the final destination was bradford city, where stephen darby played, captained and is much loved. applause clearly emotional, he wanted to be here to thank kev in person. for guys like rob and stephen
8:39 am
and ed, and that full mnd community, we have to make sure that that beacon is shining brighter than it ever has. colin doyle played with stephen and says mnd is as indiscriminate as it is damaging. it's absolutely terrible, isn't it? to see them doing the ultramarathon, seven in seven, is phenomenal. but he's obviously trying to get the awareness for mnd. so, yeah, it's not nice, but for me to be here... as soon as i heard it was happening, i was down here straightaway. the fundraising target — £777,777 — echoing rob burrow�*s shirt number, has now been surpassed. smashed, in fact. cost of living has gone through the roof, christmas is on its way. some of the villages we've
8:40 am
been through, and towns, i'm sure in and amongst all that there are people struggling to put their heating on. and they are coming out and giving us cash. and that in itself is really humbling for all of us. it's worth every step. day six done. yeah, one day to go. i think both me and dave are absolutely broken, but we know we'll get there. we will get to old trafford tomorrow. i think we've got a bit of physio later on today to mend us and get us to old trafford. but phenomenal today, seeing rob, stephen. i mean, this is what it's all about. the fans around the place have been amazing. the support in leeds has been incredible. so it kept us going. three, two, one, and they are off. this was the final scent off, the last hurrah. the small matter of another 38 miles to the rugby league world cup final at old trafford, and of course the biggest reception yet. which will be richly deserved.

"this is wheelchair rugby league —
8:57 am
take no prisoners." rugby union world cup winner rocky clarke says the sport is so exciting. "can't believe i've onlyjust found it." and rugby league legend rob burrow has been so impressed by the wheelchair world cup. plenty of action and amazing skills. even he wouldn't dare play. wheelchair potentially has enormous growth potential. it's so accessible. it's so engaging. so many people anecdotally tell me it's their favourite second sport, and i think that's cause for celebration. the future of the game, though, will have to wait. this is england's moment. rugby league world cup winners. i had the privilege to spend some time in the company of those england players of the last weeks and months. it really is how to put into words just what that world cup victory will mean, and to have so much preparation, so much hard work, so much trimming to do it on world soil really was a very special sporting moment. events here really
8:58 am
have a lot to live up to. the women's final goes on first, new zealand knocked out england, taking on australia. and any men 's final, australia taking on similar, really the surprise package. the first pacific island through to a final. hugely proud, hugely passionate. they have had good luck messages from the likes of the rock this week, who of course has samoan heritage. if it's anything like last night, it really should be a very special occasion indeed. looking forward to _ special occasion indeed. looking forward to seeing i special occasion indeed. looking forward to seeing that i special occasion indeed. looking forward to seeing that place i special occasion indeed. looking i forward to seeing that place packed out behind you later. many thanks. what a special moment for england's wheelchair side. we have grown to love the physicality of that competition, and what a way for them to round off what has been an incredible tournament without world cup win. we have been reflecting on those comments from the fifa president this morning, quite
8:59 am
extraordinary comments as he looks to promote a sense of inclusivity at this world cup and quell some of that criticism that it's come towards the organisers of the awarding of this tournament to this middle eastern state. i'm not quite sure whether or not it will have the desired effect. there is no doubt about it, i think these issues will continue to drift present themselves despite edging ever closer to kick—off at this world cup with a host qatar getting under way against ecuador. . ~ host qatar getting under way against ecuador. ., ,, 7 ., 7 . 7 ecuador. thank you very much. many --eole ecuador. thank you very much. many people are. — ecuador. thank you very much. many people are. we _ ecuador. thank you very much. many people are, we are i ecuador. thank you very much. many people are, we are looking i ecuador. thank you very much. many people are, we are looking forward i people are, we are looking forward to the football itself, but still finding it very problematic dealing with those issues and those comments. quite extraordinary comments. quite extraordinary comments. we may talk more about there is a little later on. the headlines — there is a little later on. the headlines coming i there is a little later on. the headlines coming up i there is a little later on. the headlines coming up injust a moment.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and charlie stayt. our headlines today. the prime minister says he wants to make britain's streets safer for women and girls, after a number of high profile cases over the past year. it comes as police failings were found to have contributed to the deaths of a mother and daughter, who were murdered after officers dismissed their concerns about the killer. no deal at the un climate change conference in egypt. talks are extended as countries push for an agreement on cutting carbon emissions. the finishing line's in sight for kevin sinfield. he's on the final day of his epic, week—long ultra—marathon challenge in aid of mnd charities.
9:01 am
good morning. severe flood warnings remain in force particularly in eastern scotland where the rivers are responding still to a month and a half worth of rain in some places. today's rain is lighter and more patchy. and i'll have a full weather forecast for the whole of the united kingdom in around 15 minutes. good morning. it's saturday 19th november. thanks for your company this morning. our top story. the prime minister rishi sunak has said he wants to make britain's streets safer for women and girls, following a number of recent high profile cases. mr sunak said his eldest daughter reaching the age where she wanted to walk to school by herself "brings home" the dangers faced by women and girls. simon jones has more, the role of prime minister inevitably brings with it a high level of security. but on a personal level, it was when rishi sunak�*s 11—year—old daughter said she wanted to walk to school herself
9:02 am
that he had to reflect on the issue of safety. he told journalists — in the past i've taken it for granted and many of us as men have, and the events of the last year showed us that so many women and girls actually, for a while, have not felt safe as they should. so tackling that in making it safer for people is something that is personally quite important to me. there have been numerous walks, vigils and protests calling for change. this one was in honour of zara alleema. she was attacked by a stranger as she was walking home in east london injune. police said she had every right to be there, every right to feel safe. jordan mcsweeney was caught on camera following her. yesterday, he pleaded guilty to murder. at the time of the attack, he only recently been released from prison and his licence had been revoked by the probation service. in a separate case, these women were killed in solihull in 2018. they didn't feel safe, they had asked the police for help.
9:03 am
they were stabbed to death by her estranged husband. this is him following them on a night out. west midlands police have failed them beyond imagination. they had so many opportunities to save their lives right up until the end. both were murdered while on the phone to the police begging for help. this is the moment he was finally arrested. yesterday, a jury at the inquest found earlier police errors materially contributed to their deaths. west midlands police have apologised. last year, the murder of sarah everard by a met police officer prompted grief protests and a national debate on women's safety. police say it's still rare for people to be abducted from the streets but have promised reform. rishi sunak said he is committed to putting more police officers on the streets and increasing
9:04 am
the number of prison places. but labour has accused the government are taking an axe to the vital services that are supposed to protect us. simon jones, bbc news. a promise from the developed world to foot more of the climate bill has raised some hopes of breakthrough at cop 27. the climate summit in egypt has been extended for another day, as negotiations continue over the issue of how to compensate less wealthy nations for losses caused by global warming. a deal that all 200 countries will sign off on has yet to be reached. our science correspondent victoria gill has more. as the event closes down around the negotiators, there are still deep divisions here. because what richer countries want to achieve and what the poorest countries need are at odds. developed nations want to focus on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. while the poorest and most vulnerable need funds for the damage already being caused by climate change.

those two things are held against the charter because developed countries have a lot of interest in the reduction of emissions, and developing countries are very interested in the fund to support them in disaster situations, so that's what's holding up a final decision. in the floods in pakistan this year showed the world just what climate change can cost. lost lives, homes, washed away. and when this ten—year—old from ghana addressed the delegates here at cop27, she shared her experience of a warming world. last month, where i live in ghana, there was a heavy rain outpost and cars went underwater. people were paddling canoes where there had been streets. thousands of flooded houses.
9:06 am
it was very scary. for those countries who produced the least emissions but suffered the most, this is about accountability. we know it's because of climate change. i the polluters have made this the most difficult thing. the g20 among us, i was encouraged to see this statement _ because they are acknowledging, as being the 80% of global- emissions holders, _ they have a huge responsibility. that's the principle we must go by. the question now is purely political. can countries come together and agree? we are now heading into the weekend, so there is real pressure on the negotiators here. this is being called africa's cop27 so countries which are on the front line of climate change and its devastating impact, many of which are in this continent, will want to see a breakthrough before they head home. thank you very much for your attention. and whether a deal here makes a breakthrough or not, its future generations that have
9:07 am
to live with the consequences. victoria gill, bbc news, sharm el—sheik. almost half of ukraine's energy system has been crippled by a recent wave of russian missile and drone strikes and ten million ukrainians are without power. officials in kyiv have warned the capital city faces a "complete shutdown" of its power grid, as temperatures drop below freezing. the government has urged people to save energy by reducing the use of domestic appliances. a search is due to resume this morning for a woman reported to have been swept away whilst trying to rescue a dog in the river don in aberdeenshire. heavy downpours hit swathes of eastern scotland yesterday, causing flooding, road and railway closures. robert townsend reports. this was the scene in fife after heavy rainfall brought severe flooding to parts of the road network. elsewhere in dunfermline, commuters faced impossible conditions. whilst floodwaters also rose across parts of edinburgh.
9:08 am
the past 24 hours has seen heavy rain and winds batter much of the east coast. residents, with the help of fire crews, tried their best to defend their homes against flooding — until the rising water levels proved too much. when the water started seeping through the floorboards, through the tiles of the bathroom initially, itjust came all the way through. and it's just spreading into the bottom level of the house. what can you do? you put down towels, but that's not going to help. it's happened before and, i mean, it's really upsetting because it is uprooting my family again. for some, the conditions brought devastation to property. new doors. all of this is done out, insulated. and this is flawed, yeah. i can see him doing it up to move in and... all this floor is going to have to come up now. that partition's going to have to come out. the plaster boards. for others, it was an anxious wait to see if they would be spared the very worst of the weather. i've got a nine—month—old son so, you know, when you've got
9:09 am
a baby in the house, it is much worse worrying about where you are going to go and all the things you need to take for him and stuff. rest centres have been set up for some of those in the most affected areas. severe flood warnings remain in place for parts of aberdeenshire and angus. rail travel has also been severely disrupted with cancellations and speed restrict directions across much of the network. sailings to and from shetland face cancellations and supplies on supermarket shelves are now running low. tribes have been urged to avoid unnecessaryjourneys tribes have been urged to avoid unnecessary journeys where tribes have been urged to avoid unnecessaryjourneys where possible but some river levels still not thought to have reached their peak. we are telling people to take travel advice and warnings. look at the police warnings. with disruption expected to continue into the weekend, residents are being urged to follow official advice.
9:10 am
robert townsend, bbc news. this morning the fifa president gianni infantino has been speaking at a press conference in qatar, and talked about his support for the lgbtq community and migrant workers. john's in qatarfor us this morning, and has been listening to his comments. i think ithinka i think a fairfew i think a fair few raised eyebrows about the manner in which he talked about the manner in which he talked about these kinds of issues. just remind us what he said.- about these kinds of issues. just remind us what he said. yes, good mornin. , remind us what he said. yes, good morning. both- _ remind us what he said. yes, good morning, both. extraordinary- morning, both. extraordinary comments from the fifa president gianni infantino in the last hour or so. he's obviously trying to promote a sense of inclusivity around this world cup, something which has been greatly questioned ever since the awarding of this tournament to qatar, which has been hugely criticised and he was responding to those criticisms and he appeared very angry, very cross, as you can imagine, perhaps with a criticism that's been levelled at fifa. in what is meant to be a huge
9:11 am
celebration for the staging of a world cup in the first in the middle east, which is meant to be their crowning moment but it certainly didn't appear as though he was feeling that with those comments which he made that press conference. let's have a listen now to what he had to say. today i feel qatari. today i feel arab. today i feel african. today i feel gay. today i feel disabled. today i feel a migrant worker. in that press conference, he also went on to say he's not gay, not a
9:12 am
migrant worker, but he says he knows what it's like, because he was bullied for having red hair. he is accused the western media of hypocrisy in its reporting of the treatment of migrant workers, a it's been a part in six and half thousand migrant workers died here in qatar ever since the world cup was awarded to the gulf state, a figure which qatari authorities say has been misrepresented. with many of those believed to have died on world cup —related infrastructure projects. already, what he has said has drawn widespread criticism. he was hoping to quell some of that criticism which has faced faith in awarding the tournament here on the eve of the tournament here on the eve of the start of this tournament ahead of what is meant to be the crowning moment, but arguably, of what is meant to be the crowning moment, butarguably, he of what is meant to be the crowning moment, but arguably, he has drawn the spotlight further on some of thoseissues the spotlight further on some of those issues and that spotlight forever on fifa as we prepare for this tournament to kick off here tomorrow without opening match with qatar taking on ecuador. thank tomorrow without opening match with qatar taking on ecuador.— qatar taking on ecuador. thank you very much. — qatar taking on ecuador. thank you very much. john- — qatar taking on ecuador. thank you very much, john. the i qatar taking on ecuador. thank you very much, john. the time i qatar taking on ecuador. thank you very much, john. the time now i qatar taking on ecuador. thank you very much, john. the time now is i
9:13 am
qatar taking on ecuador. thank you | very much, john. the time now is 12 minutes past nine. saturday morning. last night, children in need's live programme on bbc one raised more than £35 million. the star—studded night was full of special moments, surprises and secret announcements. our culture correspondent steffan powell was watching. # had to have high, high hopes for a living.# there's nothing like children in need for bringing britain's most talented performers onto a stage, whether they're dancing, singing... # cos i'm not ready # to find out you know how to forget me.# i ..or in the case of some of britain's most famous soap stars, struggling with quiz questions. nigeria. the correct answer is egypt. egypt. time now for an out of this world doctor who exclusive. it's also a good night to spring a big surprise or two, and not much is bigger than a major reveal about one of television's most loved shows. here she is.
9:14 am
millie gibson, the actor from coronation street, was unveiled as doctor who's new sidekick, ruby sunday. no, ijust hope i can, you know, make you all happy and, like, fill the boots of the other companions, so... she willjoin sex education star ncuti gatwa in the tardis in a new—look doctor who coming next year. this chair was made in memory of my son, etienne. when he was eight years old, he became suddenly severely ill with encephalitis. he died very unexpectedly of a seizure during the night. there was an emotional episode of the repair shop that really tugged at the audience's heartstrings. organizers hope that moments like that and marathon fundraising efforts mean that this children in need programme did more than just raise cash, but brought the country together
9:15 am
at a difficult time — with the cost of living rising. for you to actually donate when things are so challenging, it's so greatly appreciated. and i met some amazing people that run the projects that children in need funds, and it's changing lives. it's helping young people. are you ready for this? let's see how much we've raised. that financial reality might have had an impact. the total figure raised on the night was a little lower than recent years. contributions will keep coming in over the coming days and weeks, so the final total will be higher — and that money will support a range of projects across the country to help children who really need it. stefan powell, bbc news. now another beautiful story here for you. the beautiful moment a new chimpanzee mum saw her baby for the first time after a complicated birth has been caught on camera. take a look at this.
9:16 am
this is when mahalay met her baby kuchiza 48—hours after giving birth by c—section at sedgwick county zoo in kansas earlier this week. the zoo said mahalay is an exceptional mother and it's clear how much she loves her baby. that was that moment when she saw her baby for the first time. when you watch it in full, what's gorgeous as she can see a bundle and then you just see the little arm go up then you just see the little arm go up and it's when she sees the arm and recognises her. she grabs her. it's just gorgeous. you and recognises her. she grabs her. it'sjust gorgeous. you re—enact that scene. show us the chimpanzee arm again. it's uncanny, isn't it. it's just like arm again. it's uncanny, isn't it. it'sjust like being arm again. it's uncanny, isn't it. it's just like being there. arm again. it's uncanny, isn't it. it'sjust like being there. really nice. 9.16. we are following in
9:17 am
great detail actually kevin sinfield is journey, great detail actually kevin sinfield isjourney, his last great detail actually kevin sinfield is journey, his last day of this extraordinary week he is having. 40 miles a day. it's like an ultramarathon everyday day he's running all of course to raise money for motoneuron disease and he is running later today on his way to the rugby league world cup final and he will be appearing there at a remarkable moment, so our cameras this morning are following him as he's running. what we've seen throughout the morning is the numbers of people who are turning up, curiously, we happen to have come in when there's not many people around but amazing numbers of people are coming out wishing him well as he goes past. you can see the traffickers come to a standstill as they are going past. the other thing i don't we quite get, a sense from this angle, is the
9:18 am
incline as well. it's quite hilly, the route today. there is a lot of uphill. let's listen in. applause there's only one kevin sinfield! cheering brilliant. keep going, kevin. the weather has been kinder to them today. how was it for the rest of us? i today. how was it for the rest of us? . . today. how was it for the rest of us? ., , , ~' ., today. how was it for the rest of us? . , , ,, ., . 7 us? i was 'ust thinking how chilly it must us? i wasjust thinking how chilly it must be _ us? i wasjust thinking how chilly it must be no _ us? i wasjust thinking how chilly it must be no shorts i us? i wasjust thinking how chilly it must be no shorts and i us? i wasjust thinking how chilly it must be no shorts and the i us? i was just thinking how chilly| it must be no shorts and the fact, even tomorrow, the forecast has a chance of wintry weather over the pennines. forthe chance of wintry weather over the pennines. for the rest of us, it's a little bit kinder today, mrfog pennines. for the rest of us, it's a little bit kinder today, mr fog this morning, in wales, earlier, and also quite frosty in some parts of western britain and northern ireland. but the weather hasn't been kind this week and there are still flood warnings, severe flood warnings as well across the north—east of scotland. aberdeenshire, angus and dundee,
9:19 am
where we have not had far short of 200 millimetres of rain in the last three days. although it is later today, you can see the blues filling in in the next 24—hour is as we get the next weather front moving in from the atlantic. not as wet and eastern areas are still getting some rain and the ground is saturated. flood warnings from the south—east, the midlands, north—eastern england in eastern scotland and this is all heading our way. there is a little window of respite for most of us so we have had this rain through the morning across eastern areas. it petering out through the day, leaving a legacy of cloud. further west, it's cold, mist and fog around, but hazy sunshine, and that will fade through the afternoon as the wind strengthened, bringing rain into northern ireland. still relentless windsor trash out and orkney. it's been blown a gale for several days here. some very rough conditions here and feeling chilly. 8-10. that conditions here and feeling chilly. 8—10. that will be the case for the arrival in manchester for the rugby
9:20 am
league world cup finals taking place today. it should be dry, fine, but later on this evening and overnight, the rain marches from northern ireland across scotland, england and wales through the night, perhaps not meeting the far east of east anglia and further west it clears up later as well but a blustery old night with the rain pushing through. tomorrow morning, once again in those areas where we've got very, very saturated ground, a month and a half of rain is falling, but it will clear away for a brighter day tomorrow. sunny spells but scattered heavy showers around and the odd rumble of thunder. 8—11. noticing that shilpa titley after the cool start and a cooler start monday morning, quite cool tomorrow night. ahead of the rain so a touch of frost and patchy fog to start on monday morning but then we do it on again. more wind and rain rolling in off the atlantic. that rain really looking pretty persistent across england and wales and here too we
9:21 am
have flood warnings at the moment. a months worth of rain in some places this week and the grand saturated, so lots of whether still going on despite a brief respite for many today. racheland despite a brief respite for many today. rachel and charlie. thanks very much- _ breaking news for you becausejust as helen was telling us the weather some really good news about kevin sinfield's fundraising efforts. we said earlier today it's not going to be surprising if he hits the £1 million mark and he has done it. even within this programme. he has done it. we haven't come he has done it. look at that total. over £1 million. and there he is. whether he knows that by now, i don't know. he's certainly got a spring in his step. that time now is 9.21. campaigners say hundreds of village halls across england could be forced to close this winter because of the high cost of energy. the rural poverty charity, acre, said the chancellor didn't go far enough in his autumn statement to help more than half of the rural
9:22 am
community buildings, which are in financial difficulty. ellie price reports. i think i'll have some port, james. oh, yes, madam. they're making drama out of a crisis. well, actually, it's a comedy. now i've come into money, i can have my own butler pouring it for me! this drama group have sold 120 tickets for their annual edwardian caper this weekend. if only we had some more money, madam. then you could pay for the village hall. but sadly, they can't. the electricity bill has gone up tenfold in the last three years, and the village hall, which also hosts a carpet bowlers today, is facing closure within months. once the money's gone, it's gone. we are unsustainable at the moment, or will become so. it'd be a disaster. i mean, we come here three times a week. i this particular club, we're quite ancient. but there are young people.
9:23 am
if you watch telly... have you got the jack? thank you. we hear that this hall. is in financial problems because of the energy prices and it may have to close. what would that mean to you? that would be very sad. i mean, i come here and i do art sometimes on a saturday as well. i was looking on the internet for a somewhere else that did short mat bowls. nowhere around. the community choir would fold. the drama group would fold. the community... it's just the heart of the community. and it would just disappear. we have a group of sort of willing volunteers who come along, come rain, come shine. and we just love strutting our stuff. i've lost my trousers many times on this stage, and if we had no heat, i'd get cold. campaigners say their story is depressingly familiar in rural areas, with up to 10% of village halls in england considering closure. so, as well as facing rising energy bills, the other difficulty for them is that most village halls
9:24 am
are in old buildings, some dating as far back as the 1920s. and of course, that means that they are typically not energy efficient. and the only way to make them energy efficient is by by carrying out adaptations. and then that costs money. all the equipment which generate our heat for free by having... but that's what they did at the village hall over in gamlingay. it's now known as the eco hub. energy bills are virtually nothing, but they know they were lucky. the refurb ten years ago cost £2.4 million. future—proofing in the design of the building is absolutely key. we all know that we're suffering with global warming and we're seeing energy costs going through the roof and so on. but by future—proofing, with renewable energy sources such as solar panels, such as ground source heat pumps, really does eliminate those issues becoming a problem down track. let me see it. just wiggle, wiggle.
9:25 am
it's chair pilates today — just like the hall over in hollingbury, this community centre is nearly fully booked most days, but a costly investment over a decade ago means it can look forward to staying that way. ellie price, bbc news, cambridgeshire. let's speak now ot graham briggs, chief executive of the rural services network, a body which campaigns for more funding for rural areas. it goes without saying how important village halls are to the life and soul of a community, so how many of them, what sense do get are in crisis at the moment?— them, what sense do get are in crisis at the moment? good morning. i think as crisis at the moment? good morning. i think as your— crisis at the moment? good morning. i think as your report i crisis at the moment? good morning. i think as your report has i crisis at the moment? good morning. i think as your report hasjust i i think as your report has just demonstrated, we are hearing around half are really, really struggling at the present time. and again, as your report said, those that have been able to get the funds to do so, the investment in energy efficiency
9:26 am
and insulation and all the rest of it, are faring better than those that were built at the end of the first world war which are very expensive and difficult to actually treat from an energy efficiency point of view. so those are all of the issues. i think there is another major issue that people need to reflect upon, which is what happens if the village hall isn't there? we have heard in that article some of the social uses of the village hall but they are also essential service centres, many of them are places where elderly people go for their lunch clubs, the venues for post offices in many cases. shops. some cases outreach services for doctors.
9:27 am
public authorities use them. they use them for polling stations. as one of your earlier report was talking in terms of flooding, they become emergency centres in the case of bad weather. they are where public authorities go to explain and consult with the public. they really are the lifeblood of rural communities. i are the lifeblood of rural communities.— are the lifeblood of rural communities. i know you are campaigning _ communities. i know you are campaigning for— communities. i know you are campaigning for this i communities. i know you are i campaigning for this nationally. you live in a lovely part of the world in shropshire. what are your personal experiences near you? yeah, certainly village _ personal experiences near you? yeah, certainly village halls i personal experiences near you? yeah, certainly village halls in i certainly village halls in shropshire are in exactly that same position. there is no such thing as a village hall which typifies every other village hall. there are different sizes, different ages, some of them will be in conservation areas which make energy problems
9:28 am
even more complicated but of course, the other thing is, if the village hall closes, the residents of that village and the wider community, there's nowhere else to go. a lack of public transport, during the day and particularly at nights and weekends, we are in danger of effectively trapping people in their own homes through a lack of public space. all are run by volunteers, i hasten to add.— space. all are run by volunteers, i hasten to add. graham, thank you very much- _ hasten to add. graham, thank you very much. talk i hasten to add. graham, thank you very much. talk about i hasten to add. graham, thank you very much. talk about village i hasten to add. graham, thank you| very much. talk about village halls and what it means to communities. we are ready until ten o'clock this morning. we're on bbc one until ten o'clock this morning, when matt tebbutt takes over in the saturday kitchen. matt, what's on the menu for us? charlie wants to know all details of my menu plans including whether my chips would be crinkled cut and i felt this was a realjudgment on me.

9:41 am
got a lot to live up to. it is going | to be a great atmosphere, great. great to speak to you. as we know, some of those issues with regards to this world cup have been put front and centre once again by gianni infantino's comment. we have seen yesterday there was a light show, a drone —like show, which was presumably part of what we can only believe is going to form a part of the opening ceremony potentially tomorrow ahead of the start of this world cup when qatar take on ecuador. that was over the bay here. i'm not sure that will pull the focus away from some of those issues as we know with fifa. they had already drawn criticism at this tournament so far. letters in which they chose teams to focus on football, the fa and the fa of wales responded by saying that human rights are universal. if fifa and gianni infantino and any potential lecture that we might see tomorrow for that world cup opening ceremony
9:42 am
was going to draw the attention, draw the focus away from some of thoseissues draw the focus away from some of those issues we have spoken so much about, i think arguably his comments today really have just put those issues front and centre once again. john, thank you very much. england face the all blacks in an autumn international, so it is not as significant as a rugby league world cup final, but rugby union fans, and charlie and i have had a minor disagreement about what the outcome might be. i will update that tomorrow. let's take a look at the weather. i tomorrow. let's take a look at the weather. ., ., , , , weather. i more optimistically, basicall . weather. i more optimistically, basically. sorry, _ weather. i more optimistically, basically. sorry, helen. - weather. i more optimistically, basically. sorry, helen. sorry,| basically. sorry, helen. sorry, kevin. here is the weather forecast brought to you by kevin and the team on their way to old trafford for that rugby league world cup final this afternoon. so whereabouts about our day at the moment? i must admit, i have slightly lost track of the

9:44 am
he will be absolutely delighted about that, i've got no doubt. he is running for various mnd causes, including the motor neuron association. and various others as well. you can see all about that on his fundraising page. just have a look for that online. so his fundraising page. just have a look for that online.— look for that online. so let's get the weather _ look for that online. so let's get the weather for _ look for that online. so let's get the weather for the _ look for that online. so let's get the weather for the weekend. i look for that online. so let's get - the weather for the weekend. helen is there right now. this is looking through the trees at the mist in powys this morning. the coldest night since spring last year for wales and northern ireland. images well below freezing. further east, it has been relentless. we still have severe flood warnings in force across aberdeenshire, angus and dundee, and we have had the best part of 200 millimetres up over the hills, even in durham and edinburgh we have had 50, 60 millimetres. this is the rainfall in the next 24—hour
9:45 am
is. it is coming in off the atlantic, but you can see the focus is the north—west. but still some north—eastern parts of scotland will continue to see another 10—15 millimetres of rain. with it, some strong winds. we have had strong winds well across shetland, we have had a gale force winds blowing. that is made conditions treacherous indeed, and they continue today. the good news is that our weather front is fizzling out. it is creeping it a bit further westwards at times, quite a bit of cloudy grey sky here. further west, some mist and fog this morning to clear as we saw, and then it should be a pleasant enough day. it will feel chilly out there. i have certainly moved into my thick padded jacket. i had gloves and a hat on yesterday. i think it is that sort of weather again what today. then the rain for all as it pushes its way eastwards overnight, except
9:46 am
perhaps to east anglia. it shouldn't be as chilly, except in east anglia, as it was last night. clear skies following sunshine again tomorrow, but a real rash of showers. pushing to gale force in the north—west, continuing to blow quite briskly tomorrow. although the focus for the showers will be in western areas, once the wet warning is finished across the east, there will be a few showers pushing eastwards through the day. 8—10 again. chilly night sunday into monday, we shouldn't be surprised at this time of year that we see sam frost and some fog. but again, there is so little respite at the moment from this wet and windy weather, and more of it comes for england and wales. taking its time to push up into scotland, but again another 20—30 millimetres are on the cards. for more on the weather, head
9:47 am
to the website. 0r cards. for more on the weather, head to the website. or the sea per website, the scottish environment protection industry, further flood warnings. thanks, helen. we are following this morning kevin sinfield. today is the final day. we say it like it is just a little. it is 40 miles today. it is the epic mnd challenge, and i think we can show you the picture here. we are heading towards saddleworth this morning. the route will and later today, it is the world cup rugby league final. that is the destination. john is a little ahead of the route. just waiting his arrival. look at the sunshine you have there. it is quite a day. yes. have there. it is quite a day. yes, it is a beautiful— have there. it is quite a day. yes, it is a beautiful day. _ have there. it is quite a day. yes, it is a beautiful day. they - have there. it is quite a day. yes it is a beautiful day. they started off with glorious weather when they went from edinburgh to melrose, and
9:48 am
then nice weather on day two from melrose as they cross the border into england, into northumberland. but of course, we had a couple of absolutely grim days in the interim, two very wet days. but the sun is out, it seems absolutely appropriate. kevin and the team will be coming across the top of saddleworth. they will have already got a glimpse of the high in the central of manchester. their ultimate destination later on today with old trafford. the crowds are gathering already. perhaps running a little bit behind schedule, but you can understand because it is a pretty brutal run. some guys here from the huddersfield giants, who are here to cheer kevin on. he is always a bit funny about different teams. what sort of reception do you think you guys are going to get? abs, think you guys are going to get? a phenomenal effort he is doing. for his team—mate. it phenomenal effort he is doing. for his team-mate.— his team-mate. it has been a phenomenal— his team-mate. it has been a phenomenal effort. _ his team-mate. it has been a phenomenal effort. 40 - his team-mate. it has been a phenomenal effort. 40 miles| his team-mate. it has been a. phenomenal effort. 40 miles a

9:50 am
the penultimate day, the finish line approaching yet are still so far away. within the burgeoning crowds are so many people whose lives have been blighted by motor neurone disease. thank you very much! my mum is the fifth member of her family to die from it, and i'm not going to be the fourth generation. i won't allow me or my sister or my son to have to go through this. we've raised 6,200 as a family since january last year, which is nothing compared to kev but, you know... every little helps. some have always asked - the question and said how does it impact the family, - and it was probably the best and worst of times. and some of them say how can it be i the best of times when, actually, i we knew we only had a year to go. that was it. it was a year diagnosis. but we make sure we made as many memories as we could, _ it brought the family together. three brothers. we could only do what we could do for our dad and for our mum. - but, actually, tough time, - but brought us all closer together.
9:51 am
new runners join the team. all know why they're here. would you normally run a distance like this? no, not particularly. but, you know, it's infectious and you're led by kev at the front. and he's such a leader. he almost dictates everything. and the group are incredible, there's such a good team behind everyone. i'm going through my hometown, bramley. pretty sure my little lad's got a bit of dispensation to come out and see his dad. a bit of a hill before that, and then we are off up into bradford. so the end is nigh, but pleasure to be here. applause and waiting for them at the headingley home ground, rob burrow, the man whose diagnosis inspired this incredible challenge of seven ultramarathons in seven days. i know you're all stood
9:52 am
side to side with us, just like we've tried to do for rob, lindsay and the family. our team, i can't thank you enough. the support, the awareness we've created, the money we have raised. i'm sure there's been a fewjokes and things along the way and a few tales told, but we've been watching in awe and just incredibly proud of them all. for them to do this, not only physically but mentally do this challenge, as i say, it's mind—blowing. mnd is unconscionably cruel to all those it touches, but kev�*s campaign brings positivity with every mile covered. being in touch with kevin all the time. all the time. his machine has been sending him lovely messages. "keep it going, mate." you know? it's unbelievable, the friendship between them is fantastic. as rob said, everybody needs a friend like kevin. they do. it would be a better world.

what was it kev said at one point? "if it had of been the other way around, rob, would you have done it for me?" and what was the answer? oh, i'm sure he would have done. he would have done his best. he would have done. yeah. running 40 miles a day is really taking its toll. kev, chris and dave are being held together by their expert support team and a lot of tape. what's your body saying to you? it's broken. taping on calves and hamstrings. great work by dos. and then just going at a kilometre a time now. yeah, it's really tough. is that it? just one more, one more, one more? it absolutely has to be. it has to be. the route was planned to connect three elite sportsmen, members of a club no—one wants tojoin. and the final destination was bradford city, where stephen darby played, captained and is much loved.

applause clearly emotional — he wanted to be here to thank kev in person. for guys like rob and doddie and stephen and ed, and that full mnd community, we have to make sure that that beacon is shining brighter than it ever has. colin doyle played with stephen and says mnd is as indiscriminate as it is damaging. it's absolutely terrible, isn't it? to see them doing the ultramarathon, seven in seven, is phenomenal. but he's obviously trying to get the awareness for mnd. so, yeah, it's not nice, but for me to be here...

as soon as i heard it was happening, i was down here straightaway. the fundraising target — £777,777 — echoing rob burrow�*s shirt number, has now been surpassed. smashed, in fact. cost of living's gone through the roof, christmas is on its way. some of the villages we've been through, and towns, i'm sure in and amongst all that there are people struggling to put their heating on. and they're coming out and giving us cash. and that in itself is really humbling for all of us. it's worth every step. day six done. yeah, one day to go. i think both me and dave are absolutely broken, but we know we'll get there. we'll get to old trafford tomorrow. i think we've got a bit of physio later on today to mend us and get us to old trafford. but phenomenal today, seeing rob, stephen. i mean, this is what it's all about. the fans around the place have been amazing. the support in leeds was incredible.
