good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... school's out for hundreds of thousands of children in scotland as a result of its first nationwide teachers strike in almost a0 years. turning to loan sharks to pay for the cost of living — a warning about using illegal money—lenders to buy essentials such as food and fuel. more than 150 hospitality venues are closing every week, as energy, food and staff costs surge. i'm at a restaurant in liverpool finding out how business owners are adapting to survive.

good morning from doha, where the upsets keep on coming at this world cup, as four—time winners germany lose to japan but make their voices heard with their protest before kick—off. wax on, wax off. the karate kid — ralph macchio — on the enduring love of the classic 19805 film, and its unforgettable script. a great piece of writing and a little bit of magic. i'll be at a sporting event and someone would just be like, "sweep the leg!" you know? and ijust turn around. i can only smile. morning. some of us starting off on bright _ morning. some of us starting off on bright note. there will be a band of heavy _ bright note. there will be a band of heavy rain — bright note. there will be a band of heavy rain moving from the west to the east _ heavy rain moving from the west to the east accompanied by school he wins _ the east accompanied by school he wins. behind that a return to sunshine _ wins. behind that a return to sunshine and blustery showers. ——

behind that a return to sunshine and blustery showers. it's thursday, 24th november. our main story. almost every primary and secondary state school across scotland will be closed today, as teachers hold a 24—hour national strike in a dispute over pay. university lecturers across the uk are also striking — meaning a day of disruption for millions of parents, children and students. it's the most widespread, industrial action in scottish schools for nearly a0 years, with hundreds of thousands of pupils forced to stay at home. here's our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon. school's out with tens of thousands of teachers in scotland walking out, hundreds of thousands of children affected and parents left making alternative plans for their kids. so it's going to be a bit of a stressful day for them. whilst some parents will be supporting the strike action, i'm sure deep down every parent will really be worrying about the change to schedule, managed childcare, trying to manage kids at home, juggle work.

it's just going to be a worrying day. the latest deal on the table would have seen lower paid teachers in scotland receive a rise of up to 6.85%. it's more than the previous 5% offer, but it's well below the 10% rise that unions want. a 10% increase isjust unaffordable for the scottish government. we have a fixed budget. it is already fully utilised for this year. so to do anything that would increase the resolution that we have on this would mean that money would have to come from elsewhere. so i'm very disappointed that we're moving to strike action. it's disruption for our children and young people and their families that we simply don't want to see. unions are angry and say the offer made by scottish local authorities and the scottish government is insulting — a kick in the teeth. so it seems like another exercise in time wasting, another great charade, another great piece of pantomime by the scottish government and cosla. and what it means is that we will be seeing strike action across scotland that will bring the vast majority of scotland's schools to closure because cosla and the scottish government have failed to take

seriously the very, very justified claims of teachers. these pupils who have exams on the way say they plan to use their time out of class wisely. so prelims are coming up. so ijust plan on revising for my prelims and, yeah, that's practically it. i'm just going to work - on my personal statement i need to send off to uni and study for a test i have coming up. - i'll be studying for my prelims as well, and i'll be prepping for my interviews as well for uni. this is further disruption after the interruptions in education caused by covid, but teachers say they are facing increasing financial hardship and have no choice but to strike. and more school closures are threatened in the months to come if this dispute is not resolved. lorna gordon, bbc news. around 70,000 university lecturers and support staff across the uk will also walk out today. it is the first of three days of industrial action, in a row over pay, working conditions and pensions. universities say they are

putting plans in place to mitigate the impact on 2.5 million students. elsewhere, thousands of postal workers have begun a 48—hour strike over pay, jobs and conditions in the run—up to black friday. royal mail said it had made its "best and final offer" to staff and accused unions of "holding christmas to ransom." staff said the offer would "spell the end of royal mail as we know it". 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now from westminster. morning to you. we have summed it up. there are a number of strikes happening today across the uk. there are talks going on in relation to the railways as well.— the railways as well. paint the icture. the railways as well. paint the picture- it _ the railways as well. paint the picture- it is — the railways as well. paint the picture. it is pretty _ the railways as well. paint the picture. it is pretty bleak. - the railways as well. paint the i picture. it is pretty bleak. feels like there is more industrial unrest as the days go by stop the big

picture at the moment is, the government says it does not have the money to pay inflation level pay rises. inflation is obviously running at over 10% just now. the government says the cash is not there to pay for similar pay rises. it also argues that if you did, you could make the problem of inflation worse and basically embedded in the system so people's pay was going up by a significant amount and inflation would stay high as well. rishi sunak has said his number one priority is to bring down inflation. that will not solve the problem for people seeing living standards squeezed, folk who are worried about paying bills and you are paying below inflation in a pay rise effectively it is a pay cut. that is the message the unions are taking to government ministers. there are talks today between the railway union, the rmt, and the transport

secretary about everything is going on and the raft of strikes we have seen on the railways. i would not hold my breath for any sort of outcome on that today. i think it is more of an introductory session for the transport secretary and the head of the rmt, mick lynch. unions will continue to make the argument that their members are not getting high enough pay rises. there is a real tension and it feels like this could get worse before gets better. thank ou ve get worse before gets better. thank you very much- _ in the latest episode of the �*newscast�* podcast, adam fleming and bbc political editor chris mason, address the christmas rail strikes with trade unionist mick lynch. to listen just search for �*newscast�* on bbc sounds. senior civil servants from multiple government departments are preparing to submit formal bullying complaints against the deputy prime minister, dominic raab. they want their claims to be looked at as part of an existing investigation into his conduct, which will also determine whether he used his private email address for government business.

mr raab says he does set high standards but has always acted with integrity. president zelensky has accused russia of crimes against humanity at a un security council meeting which was called following the latest barrage of damaging missile strikes. in kyiv, explosions left parts of the city without water and power, while lviv also reportedly lost power for a time. in zaporizhzhia, a newborn baby was killed when a rocket hit a maternity unit. russia has recently intensified its attacks on ukraine's energy networks. families struggling to keep up with the cost of living are being warned of the dangers of loan sharks. 0ne charity says this year is the first time they've seen people turn to illegal lenders to pay for essentials, like food and fuel. 0ur cost of living correspondent colletta smith has been speaking to someone who fell victim to this, we've changed her voice to protect her identity.

kelly needed a bit of extra help to afford the household extras, borrowing £100 from a neighbour's sister who she thought wasjust being kind. but she wasn't. and she asked for how much back? 325 back, each time. because it left me a bit short, i'd borrow again. and ijust kept borrowing and borrowing and borrowing just to keep myself afloat. how did it feel that so much money was being taken away from you each week, each month you were having to pay back? it was horrible. ijust felt like i was suffocating and i was like, "there's no way out." kelly ended up giving £900 of her £1,050 wages straight to the loan shark each month, and was threatened if she didn't pay. what was she saying would happen? the people aren't to be messed with and they are really bad people. we'd all be gonners. it's not illegal to lend money to a friend,

but lending to lots of different people without paperwork, charging high interest rates and even using threats to get that money back is illegal. the concern this year is because more people are struggling and wonga and kwik quid no longer exist, more people might turn to illegal lenders to make ends meet. this year, for the first time, we're seeing people who've borrowed from a loan shark for food and fuel. so we've always had everyday living expenses, but historically it's been whitegoods or tyres or school uniform, whereas now over half the people we supported in the first half of the year borrowed for everyday living expenses — food and fuel. eventually, kelly did seek help and made the call to stop loan sharks. if i was to give any advice to anyone, i would tell them to seek help now. it's never too late to get help. colletta smith, bbc news. there's more information, support and advice online at the bbc�*s cost of living web page. just search for "bbc cost of living" in your browser. the queen consort is to attend a special teddy bears picnic at a barnardo's nursery.

during the visit, she will personally deliver paddington bears that were left as tributes to queen elizabeth. 0ur royal correspondent sarah campbell has more. once upon a platinum jubilee, a little bear shared some tea time secrets with queen elizabeth ii. together, they touched a nation. tea ? oh, yes, please. and so, three months later, after the queen had died, it was perhaps no surprise that at royal palaces, parks and residences, in amongst the flowers and cards were hundreds and hundreds of paddington bears. even other members of the royal family commented, as they thanked crowds in the days after the queen's death. in photos released by the palace, it appeared that while they were

awaiting their forever homes, but what a cuddly toy needs most of all is someone to look after them. and that's where the children of barnardos enter the story. 1,000 teddies will be given to children supported by the charity across the uk. starting today, when barnardo's patron, the queen consort, will attend a special teddy bears picnic and deliver the first consort, will attend a special teddy bi will picnic and deliver the first consort, will attend a special teddy bi will j certainly deliver the first consort, will attend a special teddy bi will j certainly will. er the first most �*us will most �* us will start off morning with sunshine. we most �* us will start off morning the 1 sunshine. we most �* us will start off morning the course ine. we most �* us will start off morning the course off. we most will see some rain. the likely to be heavy, possibly is likely to be heavy, possibly

thundery. as that goes through we will see the return of blustery showers. some showers across scotland, some across northern england, wales, their sales. this area of rain will really bring us quite a bit stuck quite fast moving as well as we go through the course of the day. it is moving west heading towards the east of england and north—east scotland. eventually heavy bass with squally winds around it. there could be hail and lightning. temperatures ranging and lightning. temperatures ranging from eight to you can see from eight to 11 and 12. you can see a lot of showers coming in behind. a clump across the north of england. these could be heavy and thundery. these could be heavy and thundery. these are the overnight lows can afford to 10 degrees. into tomorrow,

some showers in the north—west. 0ne some showers in the north—west. one or two in northern ireland and northern england. a ridge of high pressure builds across as. that settles down quite nicely. they are not looking at wall—to—wall skies. some high cloud coming in from the west. 0ne some high cloud coming in from the west. one thing you will notice, it will not be as windy in the south as it has been in recent days. these are the temperatures, nine — 1a. it's been two years since the taliban took control of afghanistan and the un has described the humanitarian situation as a catastrophe, with millions of people on the brink of starvation. the bbc has found evidence that some families are being forced to take extreme steps, including selling their daughters into early marriages to pay forfood and medicine, as yogita limaye reports. just outside herat live tens of thousands, displaced by years of war and natural disasters. a second winter since the economy collapsed. in each home, a story

of acute hunger. they came to us wanting to be heard. we were shocked by what they said. "our children cry because they go into bed hungry. so we give them tablets to put them to sleep. they'd be better off dead," abdulwahab said. does anyone else also do that same thing? "a lot of us. all of us," they said. gulam hazrat was carrying the tablets with him. they were tranquillisers. 0thers later also showed us antidepressants they give their children. in the market, you can get five tablets for the price of one piece of bread. gulam said said he gives it to his one—year—old. these men, their dignity

broken by hunger. i sold my five—year—old daughter for $1,200 and sent my teenage son to iran illegally to work. my younger sons collect rubbish every day. "we have nothing. where should we take our children and go?," they asked. four—year—old nazia lives next door. she's been sold to be married to a boy from the southern province of kandahar. her father announced at the local mosque that he wanted to sell her because he couldn't afford to feed his family. at 1a, nazia will be sent away. i used most of the money to buy food and some for medicine for my son. look at him. he's malnourished and needs treatment. i'd never think of selling my

daughter if there was any other option. we didn't have to look hard to find these stories. they were behind every door we walked into. from what we've seen and heard, we know that there is a disaster unfolding on the ground here. hunger is a slow and silent killer, and often its effects aren't immediately visible. but the truth is, we will never know the scale of what is happening here because no—one is counting. people here feel abandoned by everyone, by the government that is currently running this country and by the whole world. this is an emergency. more than half the country needs life—saving support. millions are a step away from famine. yogita limaye, bbc news, herat. let's take a look at today's papers.

the scottish daily mail leads with the headline, "end of the road for sturgeon." the paper reports that the first minister's bid for another referendum on scottish independence is in tatters after the supreme court ruled it would be illegal to hold another vote without the uk government's consent. meanwhile, the national, which calls itself "the newspaper that supports an independent scotland" has the headline, "our voice will not be silenced." the times reports that government ministers are preparing a £25—million public information campaign to encourage people to reduce their energy bills. and the telegraph's back page leads with the story that sirjim ratcliffe, who's one of britain's richest men and a manchester united fan, is planning to put in a bid to buy the football club. anything on the inside? the story about an old cat. this is flossie, who is an extraordinary 26 years old. she has been crowned the

world's oldest cat. just about turned 27. in cat years it works out to the human equivalent of 120 years. as it? it does. people who look after her now... flossie has had different owners over the years. she started off as a stray near. she started off as a stray she had different owners over the years. she started off as a stray she is quite a tough cookie. ludik!120. —— luke —— luke —— look. she is deaf, with failing eyesight and stomach problems. other than that she never turns up her nose at a good meal. there we go. as long as they are still eating. good luck to flossie.

an ancient gold coin, once thought to be fake, has now revealed the existence of a third century roman commander. the coin bears the name and image of an historicalfigure, sponsian, who had previously been written out of the history books. here's 0ur science correspondent, pallab ghosh. a roman coin that has baffled historians, thought have been a fake for hundreds of years. a close look shows pit marks. these and its crude design led to the experts thinking it was made by forgers in the 18th century. oh, that's really nice around there. can we get a higher resolution image of that? but scientist, paul pierson, thought they were wrong. so he began a forensic investigation. silicon, oxygen, iron. under a high power microscope, he found scratches, which could only have been produced by rubbing together with other coins in purses. and a chemical analysis showed that it had been buried under the soilfor hundreds of years. all clues that indicate that it was genuine. yeah, look at that.

i think what we found is an emperor, an important historical figure in his own time, thought to have been a fake, been written off by all the experts and the historians. we've found that he was real and that he had a role in history. the coin is one of just four at glasgow university's hunterian museum. these three are of known roman emperors, but this one has been a real mystery. it has a picture of someone that the experts thought never existed at all. the coins were originally discovered in 1713 in transylvania. it was a small hoard of roman gold, and it was transported to the imperial coin collection in vienna. the detective story to discover who the mystery man was continued withjesper eriksson. well, they came here by quite an extraordinary route, really. they've been laying in wooden cabinets, nearforgotten for almost 200 years.

his research suggested that the face on the coin belonged to a real life military leader, called sponsian, who ruled a province of the empire that is now transylvania, where only ruins remain of the roman occupation. the reason our research on these coins is so important is that we feel we've now proved that they are real coins and can therefore say that sponsian could be a real person and that he is legitimately, therefore a lost roman emperor. the researchers now want to find more evidence of sponsian and to see what more can be learnt about the lost roman emperor. palab ghosh, bbc news, glasgow. i studied ancient history at school. i studied ancient history at school. i did ancient rome and ancient greece. when isil this, ifelt, i did ancient rome and ancient greece. when isilthis, ifelt, i had never heard of him. 0bviously un

never very good at school. he was written out of the history books. i didn't learn it then so why would i learn it now. sponsian. that is his name. he existed. he had a crown. finally we find out. shall we have a look at doha. the world cup and away now. we will be withjohn na few minutes. today is the day that england and wales separately will be talking about their next matches taking place tomorrow, friday. plenty of drama in the meantime. john will bring us up—to—date with all of that in a the minutes' time. lots of shock results. germany being beaten by japan. lots of shock results. germany being beaten byjapan. this is something else i learned about you this

morning. if i said to you, wax on, wax off, he would look at me blankly. i would think a treatment in a spa. we are talking about karate kid. we have an interview with him. he is now 61, which has made quite a few other reassess how we feel in the office this morning. —— a few of us. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london the uk's biggest everfraud sting has brought down a phone number spoofing site used by criminals to scam thousands of victims out of millions of pounds. at one stage almost 20 people every minute were being contacted by sammers hiding behind false identities using the site. the met said it has made more

than 100 arrests in the crackdown. a new study has shown that controversial ltns — low traffic neighbourhoods — do not create more congestion. researchers from imperial college found a reduction in traffic and in nitrogen dioxide in the ltns and in the boundary roads. the study, based in islington, also found that traffic dropped by over half inside the zones and by 13% at the boundaries. a so—called cost of living bus — is set to visit dozens of areas around london over the next few months — offering people advice to keep them out of debt. city hall says half of those polled recently — earning under £40,000 — think they'll struggle to pay their bills this winter. the support is free, and no appointment is necessary. debt is really common. in london, five in ten people are now worried about their finances and think they're not going to be able to make their rent at the end of this month. the earlier people seek

advice, the more tools our advisors will have in their toolkit to offer support. a new record has been set by a pet in south—east london as the world's oldest living cat. flossie who is 26—years—old was confirmed as the oldest cat by guinness world records, which said she had a human equivalent age of 120 years old. her owner in 0rpington described flossie as "an amazing cat" who settled in after being rehomed by cats protection. let's look at the travel. 0n the cheap this morning, most lines running well but the metropolitan line has minor delays, but the piccadilly line is currently part suspended although everything else is ok. good morning. some milder air now with us from the south on a brisk south—westerly wind and the generally unsettled theme is set to continue for the rest of the week, so more wet and windy weather in the forecast included late on today.

dry and bright start with temperatures dropping back into mid single figures, some sunshine and then the cloud will thicken from the west as we head through the afternoon watch out for one or two showers ahead of the main front. the wind is set to pick up and top temperatures at a fairly mild 12 or 13 celsius. there is a met office weather warning in force for southern areas of the m25 for heavy rain and strong, gusty winds. as the front moves east probably through the evening rush hour, possibly a lot of spray on the roads. it clears, and behind it should be dry for much of the rest of the night with some clear spells, but it does stay rather windy and this is how we start friday morning. friday does look dry. it does stay rather breezy and there will be sunny spells and temperatures a little lower. mild again over the weekend with some rain at times. plenty more on the website are the usual address, and we are back in half an hour.

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up on breakfast this morning. sandy law is the uk's longest surviving heart transplant patient. a0 years on from her first operation we'll bring you the moment she was reunited with her surgeon. british paralympic sprinterjohn mcfall says he wants to show that "space is for everyone" after being chosen as the first disabled astronaut by the european space agency. we'll hear more from him in about an hour's time. former blue peter presenter peter duncan is preparing for a christmas panto with a difference — all his shows will be streamed online as a cost effective festive treat for families, schools and community groups. he'll be herejust before nine. let's turn our attention to the

goings—on at the world cup and go to john who is there for us now. good morning. if there is a theme so far in the matches, it is surely surprise results.— in the matches, it is surely surprise results. in the matches, it is surely surrise results. , . , , surprise results. yes, and i guess we ask ourselves, _ surprise results. yes, and i guess we ask ourselves, what _ surprise results. yes, and i guess we ask ourselves, what makes i surprise results. yes, and i guess we ask ourselves, what makes a l surprise results. yes, and i guess - we ask ourselves, what makes a world cup so special and so unique, yes, it's the star players and it's nations pitting themselves against each other�*s, perhaps those who have not faced each other and the fans coming from all over the world to be here in one place for this world cup, but in many ways it is about the shocks, and they will live long in the memories as we move forward through the years, and that will certainly be the case now with saudi arabia having beaten argentina, one of the great world cup shocks and we saw another one yesterday with germany, the four—time winners, and only brazil have won the world cup more times, losing to japan and

imagine this, if germany go on to lose against spain in the next match, which is a possibility when you consider spain thrashed costa rica yesterday, 7—0, and japan beat costa rica, japan would be through and germany would be out, which seems unthinkable with the world cup pedigree they have. it is all heating up, that is for sure. lovely touch that from asano. and asano has managed to sneak in. japan is by reputation a polite, orderly nation, but then they've never beaten germany in men's football before. a match that left the world open—mouthed began in contrasting fashion. the germans feel silenced by fifa and this was their statement. the game began conventionally enough for germany, a foul, a point to the spot. germany, penalty, world cup. this should go in. ilkay gundogan did not disappoint, but no one else in white could be so ruthless.

stilljust about in it, japan made changes. one was ritsu doan. the scorer of japan's equaliser plays football in germany, as in fact as one ofjapan�*s other substitutes, takuma asano, without a league goal all season. germany simply didn't see this coming. cue pandemonium. but however wild the party, the japanese always remember to clear up. spain, on the other hand, were intent on making a mess of costa rica. it was soon obvious that the only upset you would be getting here was here, and surely he could even admire this masterclass. watch for example this strike from gavi, the youngest world cup goal scorer since pele. remember the name. costa rica will hope you forget the game. it finished 7—0. "nil" has been a problem for canada at the world cup. they failed to score in their only appearance in 1986, and this was their chance. a penalty against world numbertwo, belgium.

alphonso davies foiled by thibault courtois. in truth, they had enough chances to make up for it, but what matters is how you finish them. michy batshuayi's strike meant belgium one, canada — still — nil. patrick gearey, bbc news. canada will feel unfortunate in that match yesterday to not beat belgium after the way they played. we are edging ever closer to england and wales back in action tomorrow, and there was some concern yesterday over the fitness of england striker and captain harry kane who had to have a scan on his ankle and left the stadium after the victory over iran with some strapping. we understand he should be fit to take part in the second group game against the united states tomorrow. so a bit of a boost for england, a precautionary measure, the scan. he

was out on the pitch yesterday going through the training session with his team—mates and jordan pickford, the england goalkeeper says it will prove a huge boost to the team. we know why we are here, we want to win the tournament and we know how hard it wiii— the tournament and we know how hard it will be _ the tournament and we know how hard it will be to _ the tournament and we know how hard it will be to win the tournament but we are _ it will be to win the tournament but we are ready for every challenge and there _ we are ready for every challenge and there wiii— we are ready for every challenge and there will always be challenges in football _ there will always be challenges in football matches. as i said earlier, the ireh— football matches. as i said earlier, the iran defensive record is very good _ the iran defensive record is very good and — the iran defensive record is very good and to score six goals against them _ good and to score six goals against them in _ good and to score six goals against them in the — good and to score six goals against them in the first group game of the world _ them in the first group game of the world cup— them in the first group game of the world cup is a really good statement for us _ world cup is a really good statement for us as_ world cup is a really good statement for us as a _ world cup is a really good statement for us as a team and to build on as well for us as a team and to build on as wetland _ for us as a team and to build on as well and keep moving forward to the usa game — well and keep moving forward to the usa game. we well and keep moving forward to the usa came. ~ ., . well and keep moving forward to the usa came. . ., . . , usa game. we saw how much the welsh team and squad — usa game. we saw how much the welsh team and squad have _ usa game. we saw how much the welsh team and squad have enjoyed _ team and squad have enjoyed themselves on those inflatable welsh dragons in the team hotel. the other big boost as the news that their midfielderjoe allen has returned to training and has been instrumental, an experienced player in the squad, so a huge boost for them to have him backin so a huge boost for them to have him back in contention to start potentially their match tomorrow which kicks off at ten o'clock

for the last 40 years for a checkup. the team at papworth have saved sandy's life, not once, but twice. oh, i'm very, very, very well. so over the moon, so happy to be here and to be alive still. and just lucky. and we're really enjoying life. sandy was born with a congenital heart condition. she knew without help she would die. terry used to carry me downstairs in the morning, put me on the settee with our little dog, and he would pop in throughout the dayjust to make sure i was still 0k, but i was really ill. i couldn't even brush my own hair, that's how bad i was. in november 1982, sandy was told she had just weeks to live. archive: the world's first heart transplant has been performed. medical history has been made in south africa. 1967, and the first heart transplant.

it made headlines around the world. the first patient survived for 18 days, but almost immediately, there was criticism. some questioned the morality of using someone else's heart, but the main problem was as more transplants were done, survival rates were very poor. eventually, medical authorities called a halt. at papworth hospital, one surgeon, sir terence english, was determined to restart the programme and presented a research study to the powers that be. about two weeks later i get a letter from the chief medical officer saying, well, english, a nice piece of work, but no money for a programme, and we don't want to see any one—off transplants. and ijust thought, damn you. i'm going to do it. news of the offer of - a donor heart comes first the surgical unit at papworth.

sir terence defied his critics, found some money, collected the donor heart himself and started operating. i've seen some film footage of an austin maxi. is that you driving the car with the police escort? yes. with a heart? in an ice box? yes, that's right, yes. that is really hands on, isn't it? yes, well, it was important, because if that heart didn't work, you're in trouble. a0 years ago, sir terence collected a donor heart, checked it was ok and operated on sandy. 0n the night of the operation, he came in to see me and we were chatting and it was like talking to a friend. he said, "sandy, if i wake up i might get a month, if i get a month, i get six months.

if i get six months, i will get a year. and if i get a year, get five years." and here i am, a0 years later, still going. when they took me in to see her after the operation, the first thing i did was lift up the bedclothes and her feet were pink. and not blue. and i knew then that she had got good circulation. i could feel my toes. my feet were warm for the first time in...ever. and it felt really good. and then i saw him, and it was wonderful. you know, ifelt i could take on the world. hello. well, well, well. this is when the big hug happens. yes. thank you. well, it's lovely to see you after all this time. it really is. yeah, you've given me my life. sir terence is now 90, but he remembers vividly each operation and the life and death conversations that happened at the time.

when i talked to patients, i explained how uncertain it all was and what we were looking for was perhaps ten years with this, so to see somebody who has been told that and looking as well she is 40 years on is just terrific. applause. thank you. sandy has now had two heart transplants, and a0 years after her first operation, she is the longest surviving patient in the uk. she owes her life to the pioneering team at the royal papworth hospital. graham satchell, bbc news. thank you so much. i don't think those hogs could be held long enough. am i don't think those hogs could be held long enough. an extraordinary sto . held long enough. an extraordinary story- those _ held long enough. an extraordinary story. those images _ held long enough. an extraordinary story. those images of _ held long enough. an extraordinary story. those images of sir - held long enough. an extraordinary story. those images of sir terence | story. those images of sir terence english driving the car to pick up the heart himself with a police

continue to build and then we will see the arrival of the rain. the showers continue across scotland but they will be wiped out as the weather front comes in they will be wiped out as the weatherfront comes in bringing in the rain. the rain will be torrential and we could have in one or two hours as much as 15 millimetres, possibly more and you can see the black circles representing the strength of the wind gusts, so through much of the irish sea we will be looking at strong and gusty winds and through the course of the day that band of torrential rain or move quite quickly east, and it's also moving across scotland as well and where ever you see green and yellow on the chart, it tells you where the heaviest bursts are likely to be an behind it the wind will ease slightly and we will see a return to sunshine and some blustery showers, but in the rain and showers today, we could see some hail and hear some thunder. temperatures between nine and 13 degrees north to south. as we head through the evening and overnight that band of rain will clear the east and there will be

showers coming across western scotland, northern ireland and a clump of showers that could be heavy and thundery moving across northern england and it will be windy across the west. tomorrow we have showers around but it will be quieter as a ridge of high pressure builds across southern areas on the wind will also be lighter but you will find through the day it will turn hazy and temperatures tomorrow up to about 1a degrees. it’s temperatures tomorrow up to about 14 de . rees. �* , temperatures tomorrow up to about 14 decrees. �* , , �* temperatures tomorrow up to about 14 decrees. v , �* degrees. it's quite mild, isn't it? it is, and — degrees. it's quite mild, isn't it? it is, and if— degrees. it's quite mild, isn't it? it is, and if anything _ degrees. it's quite mild, isn't it? | it is, and if anything temperatures will rise not by day but will not fall away much by night and we are still looking at double figures. carol, thank you. see you later on. more than 150 hospitality businesses are closing every week, as they struggle with rising costs. hannah's in liverpool

which are rising at their fastest rate for decades and also energy cost. hospitality firms had seen their energy costs more than triple since the start of september and there is a government scheme in place to help with support for that until april next year. but many businesses are asking what else they can do to help them survive in the next few months. my colleague has been to one restaurant in essex where they are making a few changes to the menu. tt where they are making a few changes to the menu— to the menu. if you are a fan of ies ou to the menu. if you are a fan of pies you can — to the menu. if you are a fan of pies you can still _ to the menu. if you are a fan of pies you can still get _ to the menu. if you are a fan of pies you can still get one - to the menu. if you are a fan of pies you can still get one here | to the menu. if you are a fan of i pies you can still get one here but now there is only one on the menu whereas they used to be three. diners at the green room restaurant in colchester are being offered a menu that is halved in size in the past year. menu that is halved in size in the ast ear. ~ �* ., menu that is halved in size in the ast ear. ~ �* :, :, menu that is halved in size in the past year-— menu that is halved in size in the ast ear. ~ �* :, :, ., past year. we've gone from the large menu with the _ past year. we've gone from the large menu with the three _ past year. we've gone from the large menu with the three pies _ past year. we've gone from the large menu with the three pies and - past year. we've gone from the large menu with the three pies and three l menu with the three pies and three burgers and the fish options which has shrunk down to the aa sheet with just for starters, nine main courses and the stakes. it was an option the owner decided to do to keep the

business open rather than closing. staffing is the biggest issue here. the restaurant has struggled to recruit since the pandemic and that means there aren't enough chefs to cook as many items as they used to be. rising food prices and energy bills have also played a part. {lister bills have also played a part. over a ear bills have also played a part. over a year ago — bills have also played a part. over a year ago we _ bills have also played a part. over a year ago we had _ bills have also played a part. over a year ago we had five _ bills have also played a part. 09 a year ago we had five full—time chefs and a couple part—time but now we are down to three and the menu had to reduce so they could keep up with the workload. we had to change and adapt the menu to rising food costs and we now have the challenge of the energy prices going up. sometimes you just have to keep things in stock, so if there's too much on the menu, things are not getting used and it gets wasted. for us, we are making changes to keep the business open so we can adapt because there are less and less chefs and there are so many other businesses you know that are struggling as well. it does make us wonder how many businesses will survive and be here this time next year. survive and be here this time next ear. , , , year. the industry body, uk hospitality. _ year. the industry body, uk hospitality, says _ year. the industry body, uk hospitality, says cutting - year. the industry body, uk i hospitality, says cutting many year. the industry body, uk - hospitality, says cutting many sizes

series �*cobra—kai'. now in his sixties, the original karate kid himself ralph macchio has written a book about the enduring legacy of the film. he's been speaking to our entertainment correspondent colin paterson. show me wax on, wax off. ralph macchio, what i love is the fact you have written this book, and you know what people want to hear about. truthfully, it is sort of the anti—memoir. it's not the normal crash and burn, drop down to the depths and build yourself back up to redemption story. it's more a celebration of that film, what it has meant for almost a0 years, what it's meant for me in my life and what it's been like to walk in those shoes. what do you think, mr miyagi? i tell you what miyagi thinks, i think you dance around too much.

you say almost a0 years, and there has been the three original films, then there were two reboots, cobra kai, which we will come onto. your theory as to why the karate kid is still so loved? for the film, the story, the characters, they work on a human level. on a human level that spans space and time and generations. yes, the 80s hair and the mismatched wardrobe. you don't want to hear the truth. all you want to hear how great it is out here. it may be great for you, but it sucks for me. i hate this place. i want to go home. why can't we just go back home? you know, bullying, wish fulfilment, mentorship, overcoming obstacles. single parenting, starting a new life in a different town. these are all themes that still resonate today. one thing you didn't like, the title. the karate kid. what's wrong with it? there's nothing wrong with it.

it was back then, and i quote the great producer of the karate kid producer of the karate kid, jerry weintraubb, it's a terrible title which makes it a great title. because it's so kind of cheesy comic sounds like a tv after school special or a cartoon. daniel larusso is going to fight. daniel larusso is going to fight! listen, as a young actor you all want to be 0livier, de niro, you want to have shakespearean titles to work and i have this thing called the karate kid. wax on, wax off. breathe in through nose, out the mouth. why has it become such a quotable film? right, well, listen, wax on, wax off has become part of the american lexicon, if not the world over. wax on, wax off.

you know, if you say wax on, wax off, people immediately go to daniel larusso's chores and they became karate moves, which isjust a great piece of writing and a little bit of magic. you know, sweep the leg. sweep the leg. i will be at a sporting event and someone will shout "sweep the leg" and i can only smile. and just the concept of catching flies with chopsticks. heh, heh, heh, mr miyagi, look. over time, the internet, pop culture, comedy writers will poke fun in a way at the 19805 of it all and then it becomes almost becomes almost a parody, as well as respect. people continue to be shocked that you were 22 when you were filming the karate

kid. you looked so much younger. it's a blessing and a curse that i've had my whole life. it's not much of a curse as i'm now north of 60. yes, i said that out loud. so we can cut that part. i'm joking. 61? yes, you have the stats. there's no escaping it now, today. but yes, that is part of who i am, part of my legacy. i blame my parents for the good genes and my youthful appearance. the karate kid got a whole new lease of life in 2018 with the arrival of cobra kai. our new champion. banzai, daniel larusso here for larusso auto. we are chopping prices on all of our inventory. how much of a relief and joy was it

to you to get this chance to revisit daniel and bring your career this beautiful full circle. what it has become is beyond expectations of how big after the youtube launch and netflix picking up the show during a global pandemic and rereleasing the show and it exploding around the world. johnny, you and i, this, we are done. it is beyond rewarding when i have 12 and 1a—year—old kids running up to me thinking i am the coolest, and wanting to know how cool mr miyagi was and can i tell them a story. how many of those 12 and 1a—year—olds are finding the show without their parents saying, "hey, you've got to watch this, i loved it when i was a kid." i hear that all the time, and i will paint the scene for you. a group of kids will be watching the show and they have their friends over and they are watching cobra kai and their parent comes home "what are they watching?" then all of a sudden they will see

an actor like myself or elizabeth shue and they say, wait a second, do you know, you are watching... you have to sit down with me and watch these movies. and now you have family viewing and ages 12 and up to 72 sitting on the same couch watching a television show, and maybe even reading a book. iam assuming i am assuming when you didn't do what lots of kids did at the time, and practised those moves. he tells and practised those moves. he tells a iood and practised those moves. he tells a good story- _ and practised those moves. he tells a good story- he — and practised those moves. he tells a good story. he was _ and practised those moves. he tells a good story. he was 22 _ and practised those moves. he tells a good story. he was 22 years - and practised those moves. he tells a good story. he was 22 years old i a good story. he was 22 years old when he played the 1a—year—old. yes. when he played the 14-year-old. yes. but look at him _ when he played the 14-year-old. yes. but look at him now. _ when he played the 14—year—old. yes. but look at him now. he's older than you, and he looks like that. fiider you, and he looks like that. older than me? really? _ you, and he looks like that. older than me? really? he _ you, and he looks like that. older than me? really? he is. - ralph's book is called "waxing on: the karate kid and me." time now to get the news, travel and weather where

protest about pay. postal workers are holding the first of several a8 hour walk—outs and university lecturers are starting a three—day strike. in scotland, almost every primary and secondary state school will be closed, as teachers hold a 2a hour, national strike. it's the most widespread industrial action in scottish schools for nearly a0—years, with hundreds of thousands of pupils forced to stay at home. here's our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon. school's out with tens of thousands of teachers in scotland walking out, hundreds of thousands of children affected and parents left making alternative plans for their kids. so it's going to be a bit of a stressful day for them. whilst some parents will be supporting the strike action, i'm sure deep down every parent will really be worrying about the change to schedule, trying to manage childcare, trying to manage kids at home, juggle work. it's just going to be a worrying day. the latest deal on the table would have seen lower paid teachers

in scotland receive a rise of up to 6.85%. it's more than the previous 5% offer, but it's well below the 10% rise that unions want. a 10% increase isjust unaffordable for the scottish government. we have a fixed budget. it is already fully utilised for this year. so to do anything that would increase the resolution that we have on this would mean that money would have to come from elsewhere. so i'm very disappointed that we're moving to strike action. it's disruption for our children and young people and their families that we simply don't want to see. unions are angry and say the offer made by scottish local authorities and the scottish government is insulting — a kick in the teeth. so it seems like another exercise in time wasting, another great charade, another great piece of pantomime by the scottish government and cosla. and what it means is that we will be seeing strike action across scotland that will bring the vast majority of scotland's schools to closure because cosla and the scottish government have failed to take seriously the very, very

justified claims of teachers. these pupils who have exams on the way say they plan to use their time out of class wisely. so prelims are coming up. so ijust plan on revising for my prelims and, yeah, that's practically it. i'm just going to work - on my personal statement i need to send off to uni and study for a test i have coming up. - i'll be studying for my prelims as well, and i'll be prepping for my interviews as well for uni. this is further disruption after the interruptions in education caused by covid, but teachers say they are facing increasing financial hardship and have no choice but to strike. and more school closures are threatened in the months to come if this dispute is not resolved. lorna gordon, bbc news. around 70,000 university lecturers and support staff across the uk will also walk out today. it is the first of three days of industrial action, in a row over pay, working conditions and pensions.

universities say they are putting plans in place to mitigate the impact on 2.5 million students. the sector has over £a0 billion of reserves. last year it created larger surpluses than ever before. the bottom line is vice chancellor is want to invest in buildings not staff. it is not right., it is not right for students. we are going on strike because we know the money is there, vice chancellors are saying they do not want to pay it to staff. elsewhere, thousands of postal workers have begun a a8—hour strike over pay, jobs and conditions in the run—up to black friday. royal mail said it had made its "best and final offer" to staff and accused unions of "holding christmas to ransom." staff said the offer would "spell the end of royal mail as we know it". our members are fighting for theirjobs. we're fighting against compulsory redundancies. we're actually fighting to also save the service, the service that has served this country well

for so many years and can still go on being a major contributor to the uk economy. that's what this dispute is about. it's also about saving the service for the public and defending all of the work that our postal workers do on a daily basis in every community across the uk. 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now from westminster. lots of strike action on today. it was threatened, wasn't it? it was talked about in recent months and is now coming to fruition. abs, talked about in recent months and is now coming to fruition.— now coming to fruition. a pretty bleak picture — now coming to fruition. a pretty bleak picture across _ now coming to fruition. a pretty bleak picture across all- now coming to fruition. a pretty bleak picture across all of- now coming to fruition. a pretty bleak picture across all of these i bleak picture across all of these different industries across different industries across different parts of the country. not just westminster controlled stuff we are seeing strikes on. in scotland, education is devolved. this is proving to be a big issue for a lot of people. we all know broadly what theissue of people. we all know broadly what the issue is. the unions are saying inflation is up at 11%. we need pay

rises to match that so members are not facing a real terms pay cut. that is what they have been arguing for the last few weeks and months. the government in westminster simply argues that is not affordable. there is not enough money to pay big inflation matching pay rises. if you did that ministers are making the case it might make things even worse because inflation would become embedded in the system because prices would go up because peoples wages are going up. not everybody agrees with that. you can see the fundamental tension between what unions are saying and what employers and the government are saying. it does feel like this will continue potentially for a few weeks, potentially for a few weeks, potentially a fee months yet. there are the rail strikes as well. the transport secretary at westminster is meeting with the head of the rmt today to talk about some of these

issues. again, it does not feel like a breakthrough is imminent, it does not feel like today is really about putting all of the issues on the table and seeing if they can be worked out, it is more of an introductory chat between the two of them. my hunch is this will go on for a while. we might be talking about strikes for weeks, potentially months. the issues at the heart of this are pretty hard to resolve. thank you very much. in the latest episode of the newscast podcast, adam fleming and bbc political editor chris mason, address the christmas rail strikes with trade unionist mick lynch. to listen just search for newscast on bbc sounds. senior civil servants from multiple government departments are preparing to submit formal bullying complaints against the deputy prime minister, dominic raab. they want their claims to be looked at as part of an existing investigation into his conduct, which will also determine whether he used his private email address for government business. mr raab says he does set high

standards but has always acted with integrity. president zelensky has accused russia of crimes against humanity at a un security council meeting, which was called following the latest missile strikes across ukraine's energy infrastructure. 0ur europe correspondent, jessica parker, joins us from kyiv. a very good morning to you. take us through their latest comments from president zelensky and the latest on the infrastructure problems. presidents are lenski overnight accused russia of energy terror after the latest wave of strikes targeting critical infrastructure. —— president zelensky. in the end, we are told by the mad vitali clitch code that 70% of the city is without electricity. some of the city also without water. people have been working overnight to try to restore

power, get things up and running again. you can see behind me it is misty. not many lights in the building either. this after they had been already trying to repair critical infrastructure after recent waves of attacks. that that what will happen is there will be attacks, they will try to fix the infrastructure, they will get a certain way through that and there will be further attacks yet again. this is spilling across the border to a neighbouring country, moldova, who are also suffering power cuts. there are warnings of a humanitarian crisis as we head into what will be a very cold winter.— families thank you. struggling to keep up with the cost of living are being warned of the dangers of loan sharks. 0ne charity says this year is the first time it's seen people turn to illegal lenders to pay for essentials like food and fuel. 0ur cost of living correspondent, colletta smith, has been speaking to someone who fell victim to this, we've changed her voice to protect her identity. kelly needed a bit of extra

help to afford the household extras, borrowing £100 from a neighbour's sister who she thought wasjust being kind. but she wasn't. and she asked for how much back? 325 back, each time. because it left me a bit short, i'd borrow again. and ijust kept borrowing and borrowing and borrowing just to keep myself afloat. how did it feel that so much money was being taken away from you each week, each month you were having to pay back? it was horrible. ijust felt like i was suffocating and i was like, "there's no way out." kelly ended up giving £900 of her £1,050 wages straight to the loan shark each month, and was threatened if she didn't pay. what was she saying would happen? the people aren't to be messed with. they are really bad people. we'd all be gonners. it's not illegal to lend money to a friend, but lending to lots of different people without paperwork, charging

high interest rates and even using threats to get that money back is illegal. the concern this year is because more people are struggling and wonga and kwik quid no longer exist, more people might turn to illegal lenders to make ends meet. this year, for the first time, we're seeing people who've borrowed from a loan shark for food and fuel. so we've always had everyday living expenses, but historically it's been whitegoods or tyres or school uniform, whereas now over half the people we supported in the first half of the year borrowed for everyday living expenses — food and fuel. eventually, kelly did seek help and made the call to stop loan sharks. if i was to give any advice to anyone, i would tell them to seek help now. it's never too late to get help. colletta smith, bbc news. there's more information, support and advice online at the bbc�*s cost of living web page. just search for bbc cost of living in your browser.

seven former home secretaries have written to the prime minister, urging him to end the delay on introducing a new law which would tighten security at public venues. on introducing a new law which would plans for martyn's law, named after manchester arena victim martyn hett, were announced in may. but the bill has yet to be tabled, sparking criticism from its supporters. frances read reports. his life was taken. but martyn hettt�*s legacy is what many hope will save lives. this was the terrifying night of may 22nd, 2017. martyn was one of 22 people killed in the manchester arena bombings. and since his death, his mother, fegan, has campaigned for what will be known as martyn's law — to ensure improved security at public venues. an inquiry into the bombings found that there had been failings all round from the police to private security companies. now seven former home secretaries from lord blunkett to priti patel

have written to the prime minister asking to bring forward the legislation. in the letter, they say the most importantjob of any government is to ensure the safety of its citizens. given the importance of this issue, they urge rishi sunak to personally step in and ensure that the bill is implemented in full during this parliament. now, what's being proposed here is, yes, a responsibility on those businesses to protect people that come there, but a government commitment to making sure that there is the training and other support in place to enable them to do that. it strikes me and other home secretaries that that's a sensible way for us to work together to keep people safe. it comes off the back of several senior police officers, also writing to the prime minister saying the delays are dangerous to public safety. the government accused of moving at an unacceptably slow pace. parliament is very busy. the government is very busy.

but we collectively take the view that this is such an important issue. this relates to the public safety and protection of our citizens. that's the reason why we're pursuing this letter. the government says its commitment to martyn's law, as set out in its 2019 manifesto, remains and that it's working hard to bring forward the legislation as soon as possible. for martyn's family, its key to making sure the atrocity that took his life can't be repeated so easily. frances reid, bbc news. the campaign to improve security at public venues following the manchester arena attack has been championed by martyn's mum, figen murray, whojoins us now. morning to you. what do you know about what is happening? do you know about what is happening? do you know about the letter signed by seven former home secretary is being sent to the prime minister? yes. former home secretary is being sent to the prime minister?— to the prime minister? yes, i am art of to the prime minister? yes, i am part of the _ to the prime minister? yes, i am part of the campaign _ to the prime minister? yes, i am part of the campaign and - to the prime minister? yes, i am part of the campaign and i - to the prime minister? yes, i am part of the campaign and i did i to the prime minister? yes, i am i

government has been overall supportive and i am sure the home secretary will at some point meet me when she gets a minute. but you know i should expect with a new government things are rather busy. however, i think it is really important to get this over the line. the longer you wait the more this will cost lives in the future. you are very determined, _ will cost lives in the future. you are very determined, of course. you are very determined, of course. you are not going to let up. i notice he let out a heavy sigh when you are watching our piece a moment ago. is there a better view... the government has come up with a number of reasons, like time in the house of reasons, like time in the house of commons to get things through. do you have a lingering doubt they are not as determined as you are to see this through? t do not as determined as you are to see this through?— this through? i do not have a liniierin

training staff with the training available on the protect uk app. we are asking them to tell their staff if an attack happens where in this building would you evacuate your staff and colleagues and your customers? that is all we are asking. the training is free anyway. we have spoken to you over the years. always been kind of a standard bail energy and determination. understandable. the point is, i leave that to what charlie was saying earlier, all these delays, the reasons, coronavirus, change in government, the bills take time to word and to go through. how acceptable is it for you to wait for it to go through? t you to wait for it to go through? i lost myjob as a therapist. i can no

longer do thatjob. this is myjob. my longer do thatjob. this is myjob. myjob is martyn �*s mother. i will see it through however long it takes. i would have thought, see it through however long it takes. iwould have thought, because the government committed to it in their manifesto, because the government is talking about it, it will go over the line asap. the longer the government wait the more there is a chance of another attack and people dying. there is a chance of another attack and people dying-— there is a chance of another attack and people dying. thank you so much for comini and people dying. thank you so much for coming into _ and people dying. thank you so much for coming into the _ and people dying. thank you so much for coming into the as. _ and people dying. thank you so much for coming into the as. much - for coming into the as. much appreciated. the energy regulator, 0fgem, has announced its latest price cap figures forjanuary to march. the new figure doesn't affect what customers will pay, but it does give an idea of the costs to the government of its energy price guarantee. hannah is in liverpool and can tell us more. you are trying to get a sense of how hospitality is being affected. talk us through what we know this

subsidising everyone to the tune of more than £100 a month for the first three months of the year. the reason why that matters as it gives us some sense of what the government is going to be paying in terms of subsidising peoples energy bills throughout the period of its energy price guarantee. call morning sites has forecast that the full government cost for 18 months will be approximately £a2 billion. that chancellorjeremy hunt has already said the energy price guarantee will not go on beyond spring 202a, when it is currently due to end. the government hopes we will find ways of reducing energy bills before than by using less electricity, for example, and that will mean even if the cost of gas and electricity remains high after 202a, they will be able to bring their price guarantee to an end. thank you for ex-ilainin guarantee to an end. thank you for explaining all— guarantee to an end. thank you for explaining all of— guarantee to an end. thank you for explaining all of that _ guarantee to an end. thank you for explaining all of that for _ guarantee to an end. thank you for explaining all of that for us. - guarantee to an end. thank you for explaining all of that for us. we i explaining all of that for us. we will be back with you later in the

a so—called cost of living bus — is set to visit dozens of areas around london over the next few months — offering people advice to keep them out of debt. city hall says half of those polled recently — earning under £a0,000 — think they'll struggle to pay their bills this winter. the support is free, and no appointment is necessary. debt is really common. in london, five in ten people are now worried about their finances and think they're not going to be able to make their rent at the end of this month. the earlier people seek advice, the more tools our advisors will have in their toolkit to offer support. a new record has been set by a pet in south—east london as the world's oldest living cat. flossie who is 26—years—old was confirmed as the oldest cat by guinness world records, which said she had a human equivalent age of 120 years old. her owner in 0rpington described flossie as "an amazing cat" who settled in after being rehomed by cats protection.

it's the job of dreams, with an office that has spectacular views, offering an out of this world experience. many would love to be an astronaut, but very few make the cut. now in paris, the european space agency has added some new names to the role of honour. selected from more than 22,000 applicants, this is the astronaut class of 2022. but for the first time, esa is widening the pool of talent by recruiting the first—ever para—astronaut. i think, being an amputee, being an astronaut was never really on my radar, because like the military, you wouldn't pass the medical selection process. john mcfall is a paralympian sprinter. his right leg was amputated above the knee after a motorbike accident. he has been selected using exactly the same criteria as all european astronauts. the only difference is he has a disability. when esa announced they were looking for candidates with a physical

disability to run this astronaut feasibility project, i looked at the person specification and itjust kind of called out to me and ifelt so inspired by it. i felt compelled to apply, and i thought i would have the skills, the mix of skills and scientific background that i could really help them answer this very aspirational question of can we get someone with a physical disability into space, to work in space safely? and i thought i could be that person. all astronauts have to undergo rigorous training. part ofjohn's job will be to test how the kits like spacesuits and spacecraft need to be adapted. his selection does not mean he will definitely get to go into space, but esa want to pave the way to make it happen. you look at sport in particular, which is where i guess i hailfrom, but look at the way that inclusion, especially physical disability breaks down those boundaries of perception. and this is another small cog

in a global wheel of people's perceptions of ability. the last time a british astronaut got one of the jobs was more than a decade ago. that was tim peake, who got his trip to the international space station in 2016. now two more brits might get the chance of a mission. megan christian, who is in the reserve squad, and rosemary coogan, an astrophysicist who is part of the professional astronaut corps and will start her newjob soon. how are you feeling about the training that is ahead? today is just a beginning, isn't it. absolutely. today is the beginning and the end of a very but in no way an end, and the beginning of the whole new chapter. i think the training will be incredibly exciting and i cannot wait to spend more time with my colleagues and we will all be in it together. there will soon be many

opportunities for these new astronauts, including trips to the moon with the artemis mission. i would love to go on a mission into space, and the international space station would be fantastic, but it would be amazing to be part of the artemis project, so going to the moon would be one of my aspirations. the hope is this marks the moment we open up space to everyone. rebecca morrelle, bbc news, paris. we'rejoined now by libbyjackson, head of exploration at the uk space agency. good to see you. good morning. what do ou good to see you. good morning. what do you make — good to see you. good morning. what do you make of _ good to see you. good morning. what do you make of this? _ good to see you. good morning. what do you make of this? it _ good to see you. good morning. what do you make of this? it is _ good to see you. good morning. what do you make of this? it is bringing i do you make of this? it is bringing in more diversity and obviously this man is not definitely going into space but he is part of the programme that will be training. yes, indeed. and it is all about how much _ yes, indeed. and it is all about how much these — yes, indeed. and it is all about how much these astronauts are role models, — much these astronauts are role models, our leaders and a visible part of— models, our leaders and a visible part of the — models, our leaders and a visible part of the space sector that we rely on — part of the space sector that we rely on every day and that we were there _ rely on every day and that we were there in— rely on every day and that we were there in paris to invest and support, _ there in paris to invest and support, so i'm delighted to see the range _ support, so i'm delighted to see the range of— support, so i'm delighted to see the range of diversity in the astronaut

other associations are doing their job properly, then they can expand, but the chief executives of these organisations, many of them are earning significantly more than you or i, they have a responsibility to use the money they have already got to do theirjob properly. we are not giving money to organisations that are operating incompetently and in some cases callously. the are operating incompetently and in some cases callously.— some cases callously. the logic of what ou some cases callously. the logic of what you are _ some cases callously. the logic of what you are saying _ some cases callously. the logic of what you are saying is, _ some cases callously. the logic of what you are saying is, surely, i some cases callously. the logic of. what you are saying is, surely, that rochdale boroughwide housing, which is who we are talking about in this instance, should not be operating housing. why allow them to carry on if you are saying this morning to us that your opinion as housing secretary is that they are not capable of running a housing organisation? you are saying they are not capable. t organisation? you are saying they are not capable.— are not capable. i am saying they have failed- _ are not capable. i am saying they have failed. do _ are not capable. i am saying they have failed. do you _ are not capable. i am saying they have failed. do you have any i have failed. do you have any confidence _ have failed. do you have any confidence in _ have failed. do you have any confidence in them - have failed. do you have any confidence in them being i have failed. do you have any. confidence in them being able have failed. do you have any i confidence in them being able to offer safe accommodation to people this morning?— offer safe accommodation to people this morning? there chief executive, after this tragic— this morning? there chief executive, after this tragic case, _ this morning? there chief executive,

concerning one. but there are many other housing associations, many other housing associations, many other providers that are not doing right by their tenants and we have had campaigners who have highlighted the failure of so many housing associations to provide their tenants with appropriate accommodation and it's also the case that there are private landlords who are not doing the right thing, so we need to tackle this problem nationwide.— need to tackle this problem nationwide. :, , :, ,, :, need to tackle this problem nationwide. 9, , 9, ~' :, . nationwide. how will you know which housin: nationwide. how will you know which housing organisations _ nationwide. how will you know which housing organisations are _ nationwide. how will you know which housing organisations are not - nationwide. how will you know which housing organisations are not doing . housing organisations are not doing theirjob properly and how many people do you think are living in unsafe housing as we speak? the reiulator unsafe housing as we speak? the regulator has _ unsafe housing as we speak? t“t9 regulator has written to housing associations and local authorities to make sure we have a particular focus on damp and mould but it's also the case that there is a responsibility on housing associations and other landlords to let us know about other hazards and let us know about other hazards and let us know how people are dealing

social rented sector and it's also why we are looking at additional regulation in the private rented sector. and other authorities are finding improved enforcement. your government — finding improved enforcement. your government has _ finding improved enforcement. your government has been in power for 12 government has been in powerfor 12 years. are you embarrassed laying out those statistics to me today, given that you have been in various positions within those governments for many, many years? is it embarrassing as well as appalling that this is happening? tt embarrassing as well as appalling that this is happening?— embarrassing as well as appalling that this is happening? it makes me an: that that this is happening? it makes me angry that people _ that this is happening? it makes me angry that people are _ that this is happening? it makes me angry that people are living - that this is happening? it makes me angry that people are living in i that this is happening? it makes me angry that people are living in bad i angry that people are living in bad conditions and my aim is to improve the conditions in which people live. all the time i've been in government it has been my aim to improve people's lives whether that's improving the quality of education, helping with rehabilitation in the justice system, improving the quality of our environment, and now making sure that people have decent homes in which to live. i making sure that people have decent homes in which to live.— homes in which to live. i want to ask about _ homes in which to live. i want to ask about a _ homes in which to live. i want to ask about a number _ homes in which to live. i want to ask about a number of _ homes in which to live. i want to ask about a number of strikes i ask about a number of strikes happening today. you will be well

good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... school's out for hundreds of thousands of children in scotland today, as a result of its first nationwide teachers strike in almost 40 years.

university lecturers across the uk are also walking out today, and there's disruption to the postal service with a strike by royal mail workers. turning to loan sharks to pay for the cost of living — a warning about using illegal money lenders to buy essentials such as food and fuel. more than 150 hospitality venues are closing every week, as food, energy and staffing costs said. good morning from a restaurant in liverpool where i am finding out how businesses are trying to adapt. good morning from doha, where the upsets keep on coming at this world cup, as four time winners germany lose to japan but make their voices heard with their protest before kick off. wax on, wax off. the karate kid, ralph macchio, on the enduring love

of the classic 19805 film, and its unforgettable script. a great piece of writing and a little bit of magic. i'll be at a sporting event and someone would just be like, "sweep the leg!" you know? and ijust turn around. i can only smile. good morning. some of us to a sunny start this _ good morning. some of us to a sunny start this morning with a few showers _ start this morning with a few showers. there is a brand of torrential— showers. there is a brand of torrential rain and score a win in the west — torrential rain and score a win in the west. that will be moving eastwards during the day. —— and squally— eastwards during the day. —— and squally winds in the west. all the details _ squally winds in the west. all the details later on in the programme. it's thursday, 24th november. a series of strikes are underway across the uk today as workers in various sectors protest about pay. postal workers are holding the first of several 48—hour walk—outs and university lecturers are starting a three—day strike. in scotland, almost every primary and secondary state school will be closed, as teachers hold a 24—hour,

national strike. it's the most widespread industrial action in scottish schools for nearly lio years, with hundreds of thousands of pupils forced to stay at home. here's our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon. school's out with tens of thousands of teachers in scotland walking out, hundreds of thousands of children affected and parents left making alternative plans for their kids. so it's going to be a bit of a stressful day for them. whilst some parents will be supporting the strike action, i'm sure deep down every parent will really be worrying about the change to schedule, trying to manage childcare, trying to manage kids at home, juggle work. it's just going to be a worrying day. the latest deal on the table would have seen lower paid teachers in scotland receive a rise of up to 6.85%. it's more than the previous 5% offer, but it's well below the 10% rise that unions want. a 10% increase isjust unaffordable for the scottish government. we have a fixed budget. it is already fully utilised for this year.

so to do anything that would increase the resolution that we have on this would mean that money would have to come from elsewhere. so i'm very disappointed that we're moving to strike action. it's disruption for our children and young people and their families that we simply don't want to see. unions are angry and say the offer made by scottish local authorities and the scottish government is insulting — a kick in the teeth. so it seems like another exercise in time wasting, another great charade, another great piece of pantomime by the scottish government and cosla. and what it means is that we will be seeing strike action across scotland that will bring the vast majority of scotland's schools to closure because cosla and the scottish government have failed to take seriously the very, very justified claims of teachers. these pupils who have exams on the way say they plan to use their time out of class wisely. so prelims are coming up. so ijust plan on revising for my prelims and, yeah,

that's practically it. i'm just going to work i on my personal statement i need to send off to uni and study for a test i have coming up. - i'll be studying for my prelims as well, and i'll be prepping for my interviews as well for uni. this is further disruption after the interruptions in education caused by covid, but teachers say they are facing increasing financial hardship and have no choice but to strike. and more school closures are threatened in the months to come if this dispute is not resolved. lorna gordon, bbc news. our scotland correspondent alexandra mackenzie joins us now from glasgow. you can see the picket line behind you. tell us more. the you can see the picket line behind you. tell us more.— you. tell us more. the picket line here 'ust you. tell us more. the picket line here just formed _ you. tell us more. the picket line here just formed a _ you. tell us more. the picket line here just formed a short - you. tell us more. the picket line here just formed a short time i you. tell us more. the picket line | here just formed a short time ago. we arejust outside here just formed a short time ago. we are just outside glasgow. there will be picket lines like this across the country because most state schools, primary and secondary

will be closed today apart from a few in orkney and shetland. this is the first strike in this dispute. already other dates have been planned next year. there was a new offer put on the table on tuesday but the biggest teaching union which represents 80% of teaching staff said that it was no... they were not going to accept that. they took about an hour before the unanimously decided for the strike to go ahead. they said it was an insult to its members, a rehash of a previous offer that most members would get 5% and some would get 6.8%. not close to the 10% they had been asking for. the scottish government, as you had, so they cannot offer 10%, they have a set budget. if they were going to give more money to the teachers, they would have to take money from

other areas. apart from the picket lines we see here, we're also going to see rallies across this afternoon. they will be in inverness, dundee, glasgow, edinburgh and members will also gather at the scottish parliament. obviously, parents and children up also going to be affected by the dispute. today some children will be happy to have the day of school. others have got exams coming up, so have said they will be spending the day at home preparing for those exams. this is after the pandemic when children have already missed out on a lot of teaching. for some parents it will be extremely difficult today if they are having to work and make other childcare arrangements or possibly having to work from home today.— around 70,000 university lecturers and support staff across the uk will also walk out today. it is the first of three days of industrial action,

in a row over pay, working conditions and pensions. universities say they are putting plans in place to mitigate the impact on 2.5 million students. the sector has over £40 billion of reserves. last year it created larger surpluses than ever before. the bottom line is vice chancellors want to invest in buildings not staff. it is not right, it is not right for students. we are going on strike because we know the money is there, vice chancellors are saying they do not want to pay it to staff. elsewhere, thousands of postal workers have begun a 48—hour strike over pay, jobs and conditions in the run—up to black friday. royal mail said it had made its "best and final offer" to staff and accused unions of "holding christmas to ransom." staff said the offer would "spell the end of royal mail as we know it". our chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now from westminster. we knew this strike action was building. we had the warnings over

the summer, even earlier this year. inflation rising, pay rises being demanded, and now they are here. look, the fundamental problem is that unions are arguing that the cost of living is going up so significantly that people's wages need to as well. the government and employers arguing they do notjust have the money to do that. it is really interesting just how widespread some of these strikes have become. it is different sectors, different unions, different parts of the uk. the scottish strike today in education, for example, is an area controlled by the scottish government. we're also seeing a lot of strikes in england in areas which are the responsibility of the uk government. it is an all—round problem. we had michael gove, the cabinet minister on the programme about 15 minutes ago. he said he wants to try to get everyone back

ground the table to try to resolve this. there are fundamental issues which are going to be quite hard to resolve, maybe even harder to resolve, maybe even harder to resolve after the autumn statement we got last week. there is no extra money for government departments in the next couple of years. there will be calls for more pay rises. if they are going to happen, government departments will have to find the money from their existing budget. that will be tricky as well. it does feel like a pretty bleak picture, i am sorry to say. i know things look am sorry to say. i know things look a bit negative at the moment. when it comes to strikes, nagy. it seems like that could continue potentially for weeks and months yet. —— when it comes to strikes lady. we for weeks and months yet. -- when it comes to strikes lady.— comes to strikes lady. we know mick l nch from comes to strikes lady. we know mick lynch from the _ comes to strikes lady. we know mick lynch from the rmt _ comes to strikes lady. we know mick lynch from the rmt union _ comes to strikes lady. we know mick lynch from the rmt union meeting l comes to strikes lady. we know mick l lynch from the rmt union meeting the transport secretary later this morning. in the newscast podcast i was listening to last night, they

are discussing that with mick mensch to find out what he wants to know and what he wants put onto the table and what he wants put onto the table and what he wants put onto the table and what would stop the strike action at least when it came to rail action. you can search for that on bbc sounds. restrictions on liquids and laptops in hand luggage could be removed at uk airports within two years. since november 2006, passengers have been restricted to clear plastic bags holding no more than 100ml, which must be shown to security staff. the government is considering rolling out new high—tech 3d scanners, which provide a clearer picture of a bag's contents, and help prevent explosives being smuggled onboard. infrastructure. lost powerfor a time.

energy infrastructure, whether substations or power lines. the theories this will keep happening again and again through the winter. the ukrainian government says they are working on ways to try to support the population potentially through this filter if you look overnight they are trying to find ways to get through these moments where there are massive outages. in one hospital in central ukraine, a hospital lost power but run—off generators and we are told still managed to carry out successfully two kidney transplants. many think what russia is trying to do after it suffered setbacks on the front line in this conflict, they are trying to break the will of the ukrainian people as we enter winter and the colder months and full the ukrainian politicians to the negotiating table to make compromises. president zelensky still insisting that will not happen, repeating calls to the west for more help, particularly in terms of air defence systems. thank ou.

misty and cold there. here not so much. it is getting warmer. it really was nippy. that is fine, it is winter. we expect it. then we have had mild bouts which are a bit of a surprise. a surprise for you but we knew it was coming. that bad joke failed dismally. quite a mad start to the day compared with yesterday. temperatures as we go into their weekend are going to climb. some of us will start off with sunshine first thing this morning. in the west we have showers and then a band of torrential rain coming in. accompanying that will be squally winds as it pushes from the west to east. there are a few scattered showers ahead of the band of rain. here it comes, moving swiftly from the west to the east. squally winds around it. we could have as much as 50 millimetres rainfall in the space of one to two hours. pulling an

already saturated ground. there could be localised flooding. surface water and spray around. as that needs east, behind it a return to sunshine but also blustery and heavy showers. this evening there will be showers. this evening there will be showers across wales and the south—west as his band of rain continues to push steadily it was eastern parts of england. some showers across the north west of england, south—west scotland. again you can see showers coming in across western parts of scotland as the band of rain continues into the northern isles. it clears eastern england through the evening. a rash of showers and strong ones coming into the north west of scotland. some showers in the north of england could be heavy and thundery. things will settle down and the wind will not be as strong either. it will be across the north west. it will still be blowing in some showers across

northern ireland and western scotland. high cloud coming into the west in the afternoon. sunshine will turn hazy. the temperatures up to iii degrees. i am sorry. turned my microphone off. i thought it was very funny to be completely honest. it went the way myjokes always go, tumbleweed moving across the screen. i rest my case. see what we did there! families struggling to keep up with the cost of living are being warned of the dangers of loan sharks. one charity says this year is the first time it's seen people turn to illegal lenders to pay for essentials like food and fuel. our cost of living correspondent colletta smith has been speaking to someone who fell victim to this, we've changed her voice to protect her identity. ijust felt like i was suffocating. and i was like, "there's no way out." kelly had a full—time job, but money was tight,

just keeping the fridge full for the kids. she was relieved when the sister of a neighbour offered to [end her some money. how much did you borrow? £100. she asked for how much back? she said it's 325 back. and i was like, "wow." i was shocked. with paying that back, because it left me a bit short, i'd borrow again, and ijust kept borrowing and borrowing and borrowing just to keep myself afloat. but then there'd be times where i'd wake up in the morning and i checked my bank, and there would just be a random £100 in my bank and i'd be thinking, "where has that come from?" she was putting money into your bank account without you asking for it? yeah. and then demanding bigger interest payments back for that. it got me more down because she wouldn't let me send it back, and i was suffocating more and more. she knew when i got my universal credit. one of the kids dlas.

she'd know when i got my wages. she knew i got paid every tuesday. in the end because i was in so much rent arrears, i was just constantly borrowing all the time to get electric, to get food because the little bit of money i had wasn't enough to cover my family. how did it feel that so much money was being taken away from you each week? each month? i had pictures in my heart. i put my kids in to care and i'd go and jump off a bridge. that was the only way i could see of getting out of that situation — many times i thought that. kelly's best friend marie knew something was badly wrong. ijust used to get her little bits of shopping. i said to her, "you can come to me. you can talk to me." and eventually she did. but i felt useless. ijust felt, like, i don't know what to do for her. she's too scared. it was horrible. absolutely horrible. the support i've had off

marie and off my other friends has been amazing. i think if they'd have just said, "it's your own fault, you sort it." i don't think i'd be sat here today. eventually, kelly told everything to the woman from the housing association collecting her rent, and she helped her ring the stop loan sharks helpline. life's great. i haven't got the weight of the world on my shoulders. i've got the money to myself. marie and kelly have a message to anyone else who's still trapped. always trust your instincts, don't be lured in by them. a loan shark could be anyone. it could be a man. it could be a woman. could be your next door neighbour. if they offer your money and say, "do you want x amount back? —— if they offer your money and say, they want x amount back?,

don't fall for it because it's a trap. our cost of living correspondent coletta smith joins us now. you know this story so well. what is shocking is people in our hour of need, desperate need. they have a glimpse of kindness, they think and then they get sucked in and cannot get out of this. it is then they get sucked in and cannot get out of this.— get out of this. it is that trap. as soon as you _ get out of this. it is that trap. as soon as you take _ get out of this. it is that trap. as soon as you take that _ get out of this. it is that trap. as soon as you take that initial i get out of this. it is that trap. as| soon as you take that initial lump of money it is not alone, it is a trap, with the idea you will never be able to pay it back because interest rates will be so high. people do not clot who alone shall his at the beginning. understandably say because it is probably someone they know already, consider a friend. in our friends we still think of grant mitchell when he think of grant mitchell when he think of grant mitchell when he think of a loan shark. you think other big, burly bloke may be threatening physical violence. that is often not the case any more. it is often not the case any more. it is emotional blackmail, the psychological manipulation people are going through.— are going through. when you are desperate. _ are going through. when you are desperate. you _ are going through. when you are desperate, you do _ are going through. when you are desperate, you do not _ are going through. when you are desperate, you do not think i are going through. when you are l desperate, you do not think about things like, whereas the paperwork?

let me sinus, what other terms and conditions? if you do not think about having that transaction when it is face to face. that is the problem. there is no reasoning with this person when it came to interest. this person when it came to interest-_ this person when it came to interest-— this person when it came to interest. .. , ., ., this person when it came to interest. , ., ., ., interest. exactly. nothing to go back to will _ interest. exactly. nothing to go back to will keep _ interest. exactly. nothing to go back to will keep records i interest. exactly. nothing to go back to will keep records of i interest. exactly. nothing to go | back to will keep records of keep track of what has happened. that initial so an example was £100. she ended up paying nearly £1000 a month for more than a year. it is much money that people are trapped into paying. there are fewer options for people at the moment. it is a really difficult year this year. one guy and quick quid no longer exist. they were high interest lenders but they were high interest lenders but they were doing so legally. with the cost of living crisis this year in particular, finances are already stretched. perhaps the credit card is maxed out already and people are unable to get credit in the usual

ways, people with lower credit scores. if there is. loan sharks, a government funded agency, that people will turn to loan sharks this festive period is going to black friday and towards christmas to get funds when budgets are stretched elsewhere. if funds when budgets are stretched elsewhere. ., , ., . elsewhere. if someone is watching this morning _ elsewhere. if someone is watching this morning and _ elsewhere. if someone is watching this morning and is _ elsewhere. if someone is watching this morning and is in _ elsewhere. if someone is watching this morning and is in that - this morning and is in that situation or attempted, thinking, i need to get money from somewhere, what is a get out? what steps do you take to get out that situation? if you are already in trapped in a situation with a loan shark, the best advice is to go to the stop loan sharks helpline. there is a website, a 24—hour helpline. they can help you through the process. if it is —— it is an anonymous helpline. often the point is it is a loan shark and it is notjust ye down landing too. if they can repeat that information together and pass

it to the police that can be stopped. the person can be helped. maybe a person does not want to give their name. maybe you want to tilt to sign but not provide a witness statement. it is a very difficult process to three. —— want to talk to someone. that lady has been able to get out and transform her life in the process. if you are tempted to do this, there are much sensible and legal means to go down. almost everywhere in the uk has a credit union. if your credit score is really low that you need extra money, go to your credit union. the ukefihood money, go to your credit union. the likelihood is — money, go to your credit union. the likelihood is they can help you out. all good information. there's more information, support and advice online at the bbc�*s cost of living web page. just search for "bbc cost of living" in your browser. a lovely tale for you now.

sandy law had her first heart transplant in 1982, and a0 years on she is now the longest surviving heart transplant patient in the uk. to mark the anniversary, she's been reunited with some of the team who looked after her, including the surgeons who performed her operation. graham satchell has more. sandy law and her husband, terry. they've been coming to the royal papworth hospital in cambridge every six months for the last a0 years for a checkup. the team at papworth have saved sandy's life, not once, but twice. oh, i'm very, very, very well. so over the moon, so happy to be here and to be alive still. and just lucky. and we're really enjoying life. sandy was born with a congenital heart condition. she knew without help she would die. terry used to carry me downstairs in the morning, put me on the settee

with our little dog, and he would pop in throughout the dayjust to make sure i was still 0k, but i was really ill. i couldn't even brush my own hair, that's how bad i was. in november 1982, sandy was told she had just weeks to live. archive: the world's first heart transplant has been performed. | medical history has been made in south africa. 1967, and the first heart transplant. it made headlines around the world. the first patient survived for 18 days but, almost immediately, there was criticism. some questioned the morality of using someone else's heart, but the main problem was as more transplants were done, survival rates were very poor. eventually, medical authorities called a halt. at papworth hospital, one surgeon, sir terence english, was determined to restart the programme. he presented a research study to the powers that be. about two weeks later,

i get a letter from the chief medical officer saying, "well, english, a nice piece of work, but no money for a programme, and we don't want to see any one—off transplants." and ijust thought, "damn you. i'm going to do it." archive: news of the offer| of a donor heart comes first the surgical unit at papworth. sir terence defied his critics, found some money, collected the donor hearts himself and started operating. i've seen some film footage, sir terence, of an austin maxi. is that you driving the car with a police escort? yes. with a heart? in an ice box? yes, that's right, yes. that is really hands on, isn't it? yes, well, it was important, because if that heart didn't work, you're in trouble!

a0 years ago, sir terence collected a donor heart, checked it was ok and operated on sandy. on the night of the operation, he came in to see me and we were chatting. it was like talking to a friend. he said, "sandy, if i wake up i might get a month, if i get a month, i will get six months. if i get six months, i will get a year. and if i get a year, i get five years." and here i am, a0 years later, still going. when they took me in to see her after the operation, the first thing i did is lift up the bedclothes and the feet were pink, and not blue. so i knew then that she had got good circulation. i could feel my toes. my feet were warm for the first time in...ever. and it felt really good. and then i saw him,

and it was wonderful. you know, ifelt like i could take on the world. hello. well, well, well. this is when the big hug happens. yes. thank you. well, it's lovely to see you after all this time. it really is. yeah, you've given me my life. sir terence is now 90, but he remembers vividly each operation and the life and death conversations that happened at the time. when i talked to patients, i explained how uncertain it all was and what we were looking for was perhaps ten years with this. so to see somebody who had been told that and looking as well she is 40 years on is just terrific. applause. thank you.

sandy has now had two heart transplants and, a0 years after her first operation, she is the longest surviving patient in the uk. she owes her life to the pioneering team at the royal papworth hospital. graham satchell, bbc news. thank you so much. that truly is a wonderful story. reunited after all they shares. i am absolutely fascinated. i saw the film earlier on. the professor was going personally to pick up the heart with a police escort make sure it got back. i keep wanting to say it got back. i keep wanting to say it is heart—warming, it absolutely is, makes you feel happy to see such joy- is, makes you feel happy to see such joy. i love the fact her husband had to check her feet to make sure the blood circulating. the simplest things mean biggest things. we're on bbc one until quarter—past nine this morning. then it's time for morning live with gethin and sam.

good morning. you know| good morning. you know i have noticed, had dark is this morning. all of a sudden that change comes through, doesn't it? the all of a sudden that change comes through, doesn't it?— through, doesn't it? the sun is t in: to through, doesn't it? the sun is trying to come _ through, doesn't it? the sun is trying to come through, i isn't it? a packed show today. right now, thousands of people are living with mould in their homes. earlier this week dr xand explained how damaging it can be to your health. following the heart breaking story of 2—year—old awaab ishak, who died after living in a flat full of mould, there are calls for a crackdown to tackle the issue. today, matt allwright wants you to know your renters rights. i'll be telling you what to do if your landlords not helping get rid of it and why refusing to pay your rent until it's dealt with is never a good idea. also today, with 9 out of 10 nhs dentist practices not taking on any new patients, many are resorting to diy dentistry. we find out how mobile clinics are helping to fill the gaps in appointments. plus, they can improve the chances of surviving a cardiac arrest by up to 70% but turns out only 15% of us would be confident using one in an emergency.

dr ranj is here with his defibrillator do's and don'ts. and amanda holden will be here to tell us why being a celebrity investigator on the hit musical game show "i can see your voice" means she's looking at host paddy mcguinness in a completely different way! that would be a different kind of show, wouldn't it? see you later. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello. good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. scotland yard is texting 70,000 victims of banking scams today, as part of the uk's biggest ever police anti—fraud operation. it's brought down a phone number spoofing site used by criminals to scam thousands of victims out of millions of pounds. at one stage almost 20 people every minute were being contacted by scammers

hiding behind false identities. the met said it has made more than 100 arrests. a new study has shown that controversial ltns — low traffic neighbourhoods — do not create more congestion. researchers from imperial college found a reduction in traffic and in nitrogen dioxide in the ltns and in the boundary roads. the study, based in islington, also found that traffic dropped by over half inside the zones and by 13% at the boundaries. patients have been reliving their experiences of their time in intensive care whilst being treated for covid. jan ehtash spent five weeks at st helier�*s in south west london. she said she had the strangest, scary dreams whilst in intensive care — which consultants say is a phenomenon called icu delirium. i could hear these machines and then another machine was making a noise. i was thinking, they are communicating to each other now. there are a multitude of reasons why they may get these.

we are looking all the time at what we can do to ameliorate this. if nothing else to verify for them that what they experience is something we are familiar with. a so—called cost of living bus is set to visit dozens of areas around london over the next few months — offering people advice to keep them out of debt. city hall says half of those polled recently — earning under £a0,000 — think they'll struggle to pay their bills this winter. the support is free, and no appointment is necessary. let's take a look at the tubes now. just minor delays on thejubilee, hammersmith and city and piccadilly lines and the metropolitan line is part suspended between chalfont & latimer and amersham. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. some milder air now with us from the south on a brisk south—westerly wind and the generally unsettled theme is set to continue for the rest of the week, so more wet and windy weather in the forecast including late on today.

today, largely dry during the daylight hours, dry and bright start with temperatures dropping back into mid single figures, some sunshine and then the cloud will thicken from the west as we head through the afternoon. watch out for one or two showers ahead of the main front. the wind is set to pick up and top temperatures at a fairly mild 12 or 13 celsius. there is a met office weather warning in force for southern areas of the m25 for heavy rain and strong, gusty winds. as the front moves east probably through the evening rush hour, possibly a lot of spray on the roads. it clears, and behind it should be dry for much of the rest of the night with some clear spells, but it does stay rather windy and this is how we start friday morning. friday does look dry. it does stay rather breezy and there will be sunny spells and temperatures a little lower. mild again over the weekend with some rain at times. that's it. head to our website to have a look at the billion—pound renovation plans for liverpool street station. we're back around 9.

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt more than 150 hospitality businesses are closing every week, as they struggle with rising costs. inflation, lower customer numbers, and there's a lot of them —— a lot for them to think about when it comes to cutting back. hannah's in liverpool to find out more. good morning, hannah. yes, they've 'ust had good morning, hannah. yes, they've just had the — good morning, hannah. yes, they've just had the food _ good morning, hannah. yes, they've just had the food delivery _ good morning, hannah. yes, they've just had the food delivery here i good morning, hannah. yes, they've just had the food delivery here this i just had the food delivery here this morning, all the fresh stuff, and the cost of eight, as we've said many times, has gone up massively, and that's a large part of what is causing the difficulties for hospitality businesses, first there was the lockdown we had and came through a now rising costs for pretty much everything, and add to that the fact that many people have less money to spend on nice things, as it were, like coming out to a

restaurant in the evening. all of that put together means since march 2020 there have been nearly 11 and a half thousand restaurants, hotels, pubs and bars that have permanently closed down. more than 2,200 of those closures happened betweenjune and september this year — as the rising cost of energy and food really started to bite. many hospital businesses saw their energy cost triple by the start of september. the government has put a scheme in place to limit the rise until april, scheme in place to limit the rise untilapril, but scheme in place to limit the rise until april, but we are not sure what will happen after that. let's talk to chris, who owns two restaurants and a coffee shop here. chris, how are you adapting in the context of those difficulties to make the business work? what changes are you having to make? you make the business work? what changes are you having to make?— are you having to make? you can't normally instantly _

but however wild the party, the japanese always remember to clear up. spain, on the other hand, were intent on making a mess of costa rica. it was soon obvious that the only upset you would be getting here was here, and surely he could even admire this masterclass. watch for example this strike from gavi, the youngest world cup goal scorer since pele. remember the name. costa rica will hope you forget the game. it finished 7—0. "nil" has been a problem for canada at the world cup. they failed to score in their only appearance in 1986, and this was their chance. a penalty against world numbertwo, belgium. alphonso davies foiled by thibault courtois. in truth, they had enough chances to make up for it, but what matters is how you finish them. michy batshuayi's strike meant belgium one, canada — still — nil. patrick gearey, bbc news.

he is now 61 has written a book about the legacy of the film and why people love it and he's been talking to our entertainment correspondent. show me wax on, wax off. ha! ralph macchio, what i love is the fact you have written this book, and you know what people want to hear about. truthfully, it is sort of the anti—memoir. it's not the normal crash and burn, drop down to the depths and build yourself back up to redemption story. it's more a celebration of that film, what it has meant for almost 40 years, what it's meant for me in my life and what it's been like to walk in those shoes. what do you think, mr miyagi? i tell you what miyagi thinks, i think you dance around too much. you say almost 40 years, and there has been the three original films, then there were two reboots, cobra kai,

which we will come onto. your theory as to why the karate kid is still so loved? for the film, the story, the characters, they work on a human level. on a human level that spans space and time and generations. yes, the 80s hair and the mismatched wardrobe. you don't want to hear the truth. all you want to hear how great it is out here. it may be great for you, but it sucks for me. i hate this place. i want to go home. why can't we just go back home? you know, bullying, wish fulfilment, mentorship, overcoming obstacles. single parenting, starting a new life in a different town. these are all themes that still resonate today. one thing you didn't like, the title. the karate kid. what's wrong with it? there's nothing wrong with it. it was back then, and i quote the great

producer of the karate kid, jerry weintraub, saying, it's a terrible title which makes it a great title. because it's so kind of cheesy and sounds like a tv after school special or a cartoon. daniel larusso is going to fight? daniel rousseau is going to fight! daniel larusso is going to fight! listen, as a young actor you all want to be olivier, de niro, you want to have shakespearean titles to work and i have this thing called the karate kid. wax on, wax off. breathe in through nose, out the mouth. why has it become such a quotable film? right, well, listen, wax on, wax off has become part of the american lexicon, if not the world over. wax on, wax off. you know, if you say wax on, wax off, people immediately go

to daniel larusso's chores and they became karate moves, which isjust a great piece of writing and a little bit of magic. you know, "sweep the leg". sweep the leg. i will be at a sporting event and someone will shout "sweep the leg" and i can only smile. orjust the concept of catching flies with chopsticks. heh, heh, heh, mrmiyagi! look! over time, the internet, pop culture, comedy writers will poke fun in a way at the 1980s of it all and then it becomes almost a parody, as well as respect. people continue to be shocked that you were 22 when you were filming the karate kid. you looked so much younger.

it's a blessing and a curse that i've had my whole life. it's not much of a curse as i'm now north of 60. yes, i said that out loud. so we can cut that part. i'm joking. 61? yes, you have the stats. there's no escaping it now, today. but yes, that is part of who i am, part of my legacy. i blame my parents for the good genes and my youthful appearance. the karate kid got a whole new lease of life in 2018 with the arrival of cobra kai. meet our new champion. banzai! daniel larusso here for larusso auto. we are chopping prices on all of our inventory. how much of a relief and joy was it to you to get this chance to revisit daniel and bring your career this beautiful full circle?

what it has become is beyond expectations of how big after the youtube launch and netflix picking up the show during a global pandemic and rereleasing the show and it exploding around the world. johnny, you and i, this, we are done. it is beyond rewarding when i have 12 and 14—year—old kids running up to me thinking i am the coolest, and wanting to know how cool mr miyagi was and can i tell them a story. how many of those 12 and 14—year—olds are finding the show without their parents saying, "hey, you've got to watch this, i loved it when i was a kid." i hear that all the time, and i will paint the scene for you. a group of kids will be watching the show and they have their friends over and they are watching cobra kai and their parent comes home from work and they look around the corner and they are like, "what are they watching?" then all of a sudden they will see an actor like myself or elizabeth shue and they say, wait a second, do you know, you are watching...

you have to sit down with me and watch these movies. and now you have family viewing and ages 12 and up to 72 sitting on the same couch watching a television show, and maybe even reading a book. we are watching that, peter duncan with us, and we were reminiscing about. we are trying to work out who's era that was, and you say you remember it, but not that well. i think i'd moved onto more serious roles_ think i'd moved onto more serious roles at_ think i'd moved onto more serious roles at that point. i think i'd moved onto more serious roles at that point.— roles at that point. i think it was definitely my — roles at that point. i think it was definitely my era. _ roles at that point. i think it was definitely my era. even - roles at that point. i think it was definitely my era. even now, - roles at that point. i think it was definitely my era. even now, i i roles at that point. i think it was| definitely my era. even now, i try to catch flies with chopsticks. you can't help yourself. i should say the bookies out. i will get the name in a moment —— the book is out. we
