mud — a landslide pushing through ischia before dawn, burying and up turning that before it in its path. the rescue boats set off early but were hampered by strong winds and rough seas, buffeting attempts to reach the island from naples. as they came ashore, the impact was clear. morning light revealed the torrents of mud and what they had buried. this mountain has fallen on the homes that are no longer there, he says. houses were engulfed with people trapped beneath the mud. dozens of firefighters help evacuate those they could, a rescue and research for those still missing. the fear as more areas are unearthed, the number of confirmed victims could rise. for the islanders, their tranquillity was shaken by a nightmare. translation:

there are some cars that are facing upwards, that are shifted to the side. looking at them, one cannot explain how it was possible. vehicles were tossed aside and battered, held by a wave of mud into the waves of the ocean. houses have been cut off, some without power. the authorities calling on residents to stay inside. ischia's narrow streets are caked in the chaos. many of its homes, illegally built over the years, unstable and vulnerable. now an anxious wait for the weather to left to see the extent of the damage wreaked, turning ischia from ireland in till two rivers of mud. that was michael owen with the latest. —— island idyll.

than clearing, that rain is lingering in the south—east corner, you can see that here on our earlier satellite picture, this stripe of cloud bringing rain for most of us this weekend but a little wriggle in a band of cloud means that rain actually if anything is starting a friends back in across the south—eastern corner right now, this is the radar picture from the last few hours, further north and west we see spells of sunshine, at least we will want the sun comes up but also a scattering of showers, some of which will be on the heavy side, possibly thundering particularly in western scotland but the rain band really clings on across parts of kent into part of suffolk and norfolk, especially close to the coast, even right through the afternoon. not quite as windy as it was yesterday but still blustery in the western side of scotland, and temperatures generally between 10— 13 degrees, still mild, maybe not quite as mild as it was yesterday. this evening some of that rain will continue to linger but it will

eventually clear the south—east corner. elsewhere, clearspells but showers developing, particularly for western and south—western parts and western and south—western parts and we will see some fog starting to form across parts of north—east england where they could be a touch of frost in places, temperatures over 93—7 , so fog could well cause poor travel conditions across parts of north—east england tomorrow morning in that fog could be quite slow to clear. through the day scotland and northern ireland was his i was his hours fading, plenty of sunshine here but some showers will continue to coasts of wales in south—east england, some of those heavy, possibly thundering, the highest temperature in the south—west 12 degrees, particularly call if you get stuck with fog and part of north—east england and fog is likely to be a bigger issue on tuesday, very light winds, so anywhere really could see quite dense fog which could struggle to clear through the day, certainly quite a dull day in prospect and that will make it feel chillier. if we look further ahead through the coming week we see a weather system

trying to push it from the atlantic but it does not make much progress, and the reason why is this big area of high pressure going to be increasingly dominant across the north—east of europe, extending its influence towards our shores, meaning more in the way of dry weather. it is also going to feed some relatively chilly air in our direction, it is looking really quite cold across eastern europe later this week. for us, quite cold across eastern europe laterthis week. for us, nothing exceptional, we are of course moving into december, these temperatures, seven, eight degrees for the end of the week and not particularly unusualfor the week and not particularly unusual for the time of year, certainly feeling chillier than it has done but equally, not as much rain, it should be a little bit drier. more for me from out the programme. rain, it should be a little bit drier. more for me from out the programme. it rain, it should be a little bit drier. more for me from out the programme. it does rain, it should be a little bit drier. more for me from out the rouramme. ., , rain, it should be a little bit drier. more for me from out the rouramme. ., , ., rain, it should be a little bit drier. more for me from out the rouramme. ., , ., , rain, it should be a little bit drier. more for me from out the rouramme. ., , ., , , programme. it does look a bit grey. i willt programme. it does look a bit grey. i will try and — programme. it does look a bit grey. i will try and find _ programme. it does look a bit grey. i will try and find some _ programme. it does look a bit grey. i will try and find some more - programme. it does look a bit grey. i will try and find some more colour| i will try and find some more colour for you next time. if i will try and find some more colour for you next time.— for you next time. if it's not there, for you next time. if it's not there. it's _ for you next time. if it's not there, it's not _ for you next time. if it's not there, it's not there. - for you next time. if it's not there, it's not there. the i for you next time. if it's not - there, it's not there. the rainbow was a good _ there, it's not there. the rainbow was a good start! _ there, it's not there. the rainbow was a good start! it's _ there, it's not there. the rainbow was a good start! it's not - there, it's not there. the rainbow was a good start! it's not ben's . was a good start! it's not ben's

head of the royal college of emergency medicine, who has said he is "very worried" about the numbers dying, with hospitals overcrowded and unable to cope with the volume of people seeking help. the observer front page features the latest world cup action after france's kylian mbappe scored twice against denmark. the forward stole the show once again with second—half strikes to take his side through to the knock—out stages. and one of the most—read articles on bbc news online is the desert island disc festive line—up announcement. the tables will be turned as kirsty young returns to the show — this time as a castaway. cate blanchett and stephen spielberg will also feature in special episodes to mark the shows 80th birthday. i loved as an island! good for a long carjourney, good with that on. it will be strange for kirsty won't it? she has interviewed so many as the host, and now to the cast of it. she will know all the tricks! 27

minutes past six. it started with one man and his canoe during lockdown, and soon developed into a community drive to keep local waterways clea n. whenjames elliot began picking litter out of the river freshney in north east lincolnshire a few years ago, little did he think he would inspire a team of volunteers along the way. this is his story. hello, my name is james, also as the canoe river cleaner. i help clean and bring attention to our beautiful river. it all started when we were under lockdown, when we were restricted. it was when i saw a kingfisher land on an upended shocking trolley, and i thought something is going to be done. i have a canoe, just crack on. i have

lost track of the amount of litter i have taken out of this river. when i first started it was typically ten bags every time i went out to. t5 bags every time i went out to. t3 doing a fantasticjob. while there is not the longest river in the country, it's something i have to do. is good for the environment, for the local area. so do. is good for the environment, for the local area-— the local area. so i started this urou -. the local area. so i started this group- is _ the local area. so i started this group- is a _ the local area. so i started this group. is a don't _ the local area. so i started this group. is a don't like _ the local area. so i started this group. is a don't like seeing i the local area. so i started this group. is a don't like seeing it, especially _ group. is a don't like seeing it, especially on — group. is a don't like seeing it, especially on the _ group. is a don't like seeing it, especially on the river- group. is a don't like seeing it, especially on the river because j group. is a don't like seeing it, i especially on the river because of all the wildlife.— especially on the river because of all the wildlife. swans, ducks and thins. all the wildlife. swans, ducks and things- that's _ all the wildlife. swans, ducks and things. that's why _ all the wildlife. swans, ducks and things. that's why we _ all the wildlife. swans, ducks and things. that's why we are - all the wildlife. swans, ducks and things. that's why we are doing l all the wildlife. swans, ducks and things. that's why we are doing a j things. that's why we are doing a bit and hopefully _ things. that's why we are doing a bit and hopefully making - things. that's why we are doing a bit and hopefully making it i things. that's why we are doing a bit and hopefully making it a i things. that's why we are doing a | bit and hopefully making it a nicer place for everyone. this bit and hopefully making it a nicer place for everyone.— place for everyone. this is kind of meditation _ place for everyone. this is kind of meditation for _ place for everyone. this is kind of meditation for me, _ place for everyone. this is kind of meditation for me, i _ place for everyone. this is kind of meditation for me, i like - place for everyone. this is kind of meditation for me, i like being i meditation for me, i like being around anita, it relaxes me, as well as everything, i am making a difference, so it is a win—win. together with what i am doing on a regular basis and all my volunteers, we see the river in a lot better

condition, but also i think by a lot of social media posts to hopefully inspire and educate other people, that having a knock on effect, and people are just treating the river with a bit more care, and is glorious to have this running through our town because we have a lot of proud people in our town, and it starts with them taking care of their environment, and people do, people, just padding on the back and say do you want a coffee? nice one, and it acts as fuel, and it makes me feel that what i am doing is valid and importantand it feel that what i am doing is valid and important and it keeps me going. when it comes to what i want to do in the future, it's just the same, carry on doing this part of the river that is manageable for me and hopefully inspire others to get their own piece of the environment changed. thank you for telling us the story, joe. amazing the stories. haste

the eternal city of rome. one of the most visited places in europe. every time i come here, i am blown away by the food, the history, la dolce vita, and the amazing art you can find here. there are just over a hundred known works by the artist caravaggio. this is one that tourists can come and see and you can understand why he is able to make a name for himself. this one is just so explicit. but what's really cool is that you can also see his masterpieces in everyday spaces all around italy, like n churches, for example. but sadly, making artworks more readily accessible also leaves them vulnerable to theft.

one of the most famous examples in history is the disappearance of a massive caravaggio from a sicilian church. so this is how the story goes. the year is 1969. it's17 october, we are in sicily. there is a huge rainstorm and the skies are illuminated by lightning and the sound of thunder. once all the locals are asleep, thieves are breaking into a church through a side window. they enter the church and they steal one of italy's most famous paintings, caravaggio's nativity. it rumoured that they cut the painting out of the frame and rolled it into a carpet, and steal off into the darkness of the night. it was also rumoured that this painting was stolen by one of sicily�*s biggest mafia bosses. the painting also said to have

turned up somewhere in switzerland. but over 50 years later and still nobody knows what has happened to caravaggio's nativity. it is estimated that around $6 billion worth of plundered art is being treated on the global black market every year. so much so that a special breadth of italy's military police, or carabinieri, is dedicated to tracking down the stolen treasures. over the years they have retrieved millions of pieces, and now, for the first time, these recovered artefacts are on display in a brand—new museum. some of these pieces are amazing! soon, all these relics will be sent back to their original homes across italy whilst

a new hall comes in. how many antiquities do you have in the museum? some of which have been trafficked thousands of miles right across the globe. so it's a business — you've got people in italy, people in switzerland,

people in the united states, all getting paid, and they are all part of this system? and i couldn't resist one last question. nobody knows where the caravaggio is. do you know where it is? have you got it? laughs. no, no, not here. tracking down the movements of these stolen items isn't easy. but not to be beaten, the carabinieri are adopting ever more sophisticated techniques, and a change in law means they can punish criminals more severely.

in this battle against these criminals, do you think you are winning? laughs. the carabinieri's cultural protection heritage squad are retrieved more than 14.5 million stolen artefacts and relics over the past 50 years. and i have come to their hq here because i have been given special access to the vaults where they keep all the stolen treasures that they've managed to recover. could you take me on a tour? i'd love to see more. it feels a bit like an aladdin's

cave in here, with lots of strange and wonderful things to look at, and the paintings, rows and rows of them. what's the story behind this piece of artwork? looks incredible. so they will just take a little section of the artwork and make money from that? yes. but there is some success stories. i am heading an hour north of rome to cerveteri, and the town's museum.

this 2,500—year—old pot, its most famous artefact. looted, trafficked, traded and found, it was eventually negotiated back. these artefacts are about more than just their physical beauty. i feel they are about the link that they have with the land of their origin and the connection that they have with the people from those areas. that's where the real history lies. it's good to see it back. who knows, maybe, just maybe, a certain caravaggio painting will make its way back home too one day. right, if you're thinking of going to rome anytime soon, here is some travel show tips on some things to maybe see or do while you are here. for something festive this december, go to the capuchin church in via veneto for an atmospheric

christmas concert. don't forget to go down below the church into those famous crypts, decorated by the famous bones of 4,000 capuchin monks. 0k, maybe that part isn't quite so festive. for a complete change of pace, it's not too late to register for the rome marathon that takes place in march. it's probably one of the most historic and scenic routes you'll ever do. starting and ending by the colosseum, there is even the option to complete it as a group of four so you just run or power walk part of the race. now, any guesses on how old rome is? well, let me tell you. next year the city will celebrate its 2,776th birthday. natale di roma takes place on 21 april and it is essentially a massive birthday party.

the city is filled with parades, shows and games, plus, all the museums will be free to enter. finally, if you appreciate the good glass of wine, like i do, consider checking out vino forum. the ten—day festival injune will be celebrating its 20th year, and visitors will have the opportunity to try some of 2,500 different types of wines available. wow. hopefully you'll find something cool there the maybe you'd like to try out if you ever come here. and here is a fascinating fact for you. did you know that rome has more water fountains than any other city in the world? yes, that's right. their water bill must be absolutely horrendous! 0k, still to come on week's programme: lucy tests out the latest gadgets. as she takes a trip with some four—legged friends.

5—star luxury? think that's a yes. and omar goes underground exploring in turkey. you can tell that's the star of david. what do we look for in a travel companion? doesn't matter if they are four—legged, extremely furry and have a wet nose? more than ever before, we are travelling with our pets and furry, four—legged friends, and the most popular animal companion that we like travel with is man's best friend. who doesn't love a dog? in recent years the demand for dog—friendly hotels, beaches and attractions has been on the rise. p&o ferries have launched this new vip pet lounge as part of its dover to calais service. and for clarity, that's vip as in very important pooch. it means pets no longer have to stay below deck, giving you a chance for some pet pampering while you are there. we are checking out some of the latest pet gadgets hitting the stores. if you're short of space

on your trip, but need somewhere for your dog to get some rest, help could be at hand. this is the dog bag rucksack by day and pop—up kennel by night, with loads of handy pockets for your dog's luggage, and makes a brilliant portable home from home. in theory it should pop out of the bag. hey! boom. easy. it didn't take long at all. let's see what ben thinks. 5—star luxury? i think that's a yes. the good thing about this is it's comfier in a plastic or steel crate, or doggy prison, as i call them. it's very sturdy, easy to carry, and you can buy accessories to line the bed with, depending on the outside temperature. if you're worried about your dog running wild at a camp site, or looking for an easy way

to transport your dog around, this isn't a bad solution. i am surprised that something like this fits into a rucksack, so the real test will be seeing how easy it is to get it back in the bag. i'm not quite getting the last fit. i've gotta admit, putting it back is not anything like as easy it is setting it up. but maybe with a little practice, it could get a whole lot easier. that's the best i can do. a recent survey showed 78% of pet owners are driving and flying together, the highest percentage ever recorded. if you're planning a road trip, it's important you have the right kit to keep you and your dog safe. here is a quick round—up of some of the best in in—car tech for your pet. if you have a puppy, you need to have a crate for travel. but this is also ideal for smaller dogs. it's crash tested and doubles as a dog bed when you are away. if your dog wears a harness on their walks, this one can also be used in the car and is crash tested to the standards

of child restraint systems. this gadget you've got to love. ben is an old man and not quite as good atjumping as he used to be. but help is at hand. with this portable dog ramp for older dogs and dogs with mobility issues. lots of us love wearable smart technology, it makes life easier and can be a lot of fun. there is fitness trackers for humans and there is this — the pawfit 2, which is kind of like a fitness tracker but for dogs. it connects to an app on your phone and you can make sure your dog is getting their steps in too, and gather fitness data from their walks. and if your dog is a bit of an escape artist, it has an alarm and light to help find them. and check this out. you can also create a virtual alert to let you know if they leave the area. this device proves that dog trackers aren'tjust about locating dogs or finding their favourite hangouts, they're brilliant

for tracking your dog's daily exercise and the fact you can set activity goals means it's really helpful as a weight management tool as well and could prevent them from putting on a few extra pounds and everything is personalised to your dog's breed, age and weight. it is waterproof and if your pet has a habit of splashing around in streams or rivers and you don't need to spend hours searching around for an excitable dog that has gone off in the park, it has live location tracking. but my best feature has got to be the audio id tag which broadcasts the dog's id to anyone who presses the button. it's not very loud and it's quite muffled but who knows when it will come in handy. thank you, lucy and also thanks to our a—legged friends, ben, onnie and ladybaby for helping us out with that too. before we finish this week's show we're going to head to turkey and a place called midyat, it's in the east of the country not far from the syrian border. recently, loads of films and

tv series have been shot there because it looks so stunning, but if you head underground, you will discover a whole different world. so we sent omar there to explore. welcome to midyat, a town in south—eastern turkey close to the border with syria. it's a place steeped in history and has been home to the many civilisations that passed through this area over the last 3,000 years. they've all left their mark up here on the surface, but also underground. during a restoration project to midyat�*s older buildings back in 2020, someone from the team discovered a doorway that leads to one of these caves, the more they dug, the more they found. these are underground spaces under each house and were known to people and used for storage because it's quite cold, but what they didn't know

was that they were all connected. and, my, what an incredible sight. i happily got lost in this network of caves, thought to be at least 1,900 years old, and estimated to have once been inhabited by over 70,000 people. a lot of this is quite weathered now, but you can see there's clear stairs and paths into different rooms. it's thousands of years old. what i'm fascinated by is the stone is solid, but look, it's soft at the same time. listen to that. this is limestone, so its texture is like a soft cheese underground and hardens magnificently outside in the open air and the sun, it is what a lot of houses in the district are made of and something midyat is famous for as well as the caves themselves.

and these cool caverns have attracted a lot of attention since their discovery. with this potential massive size possibly rivalling the famous cappadocia cave dwellings elsewhere in turkey. this is like the first time i don't mind being short, 2000 years ago, the average height might have been 5 foot four. i was amazed by the level of detail in some of what i was seeing. why are there crosses on the wall? even still, thousands of years, hundreds of years, detail is still amazing. though the historians here were figuring out what rooms have what purpose, some were more obvious than others.

the first christians lived here to live their religion freely, without any problem, during the rule of the roman empire. and these places, we can say they are to bury their dead people. here, we can find some marks, it might be a falcon or the hawk, it is a symbol of the bird, but it is very old and damaged. what did that signify? it might be the tomb of a soldier. tomb of a soldier? yeah, tomb of a soldier. they are be buried here. even though it's been thousands of years, i know it's damaged, this is still incredibly preserved, for you to be able to tell what animal it was. the eagle is probably a symbol of a soldier. it might be an eagle or a hawk, we are not sure yet. we must leave them to rest, go somewhere else. so we go to another cave they have discovered. a little bit of a tighter fit.

that's a tight space. have a look, have a look. those are small holes. throughout the dig they found many artefacts — candlesticks, coins, bracelet pieces, rings and more valuables, dating back to roman times in the first or second century. but it's thought the caves could be even older. and then we came back across a rather big clue that points to this room possibly being a very old jewish synagogue.

if you look here, it is the star of david, still quite defined and quite detailed, because of, wow they are telling me this is, what 1,600 years old. soldier on a horse. oh, yes. i can kind of see it. that is about the size of my hand. atiny hand. look, right there, it is my handprint. how did they get up there? so far, they've only uncovered 5%, 10% of the caves and it will be a while before the truth of midyat�*s underground past is properly bought to light. i'm dusty. i'm tired. but it was worth it. this will attract people, it is a wonder to see and there's still so much more to discover. thank you, omar.

and, you know, it's amazing to think of all the amazing history that you;ll find out there, which is a little bit like here in rome — mind blowing. well, that's it from us this week, make sure you look out for us next week, when... ibiza versus type 1 diabetes. dj reece parkinson tests out whether you can take on the party island whilst managing your blood sugar levels. until then, you can find loads of other amazing travel content from the bbc online by using the tags on your screen. but now for now from me, ade adepitan, and all of the travel show team here in rome, it is ciao for now.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and nina warhurst. good morning. our headlines today: tributes have been paid to doddie weir — the former scottish international rugby player who has died from motor neurone disease at the age of 52. a hero on and off the pitch — his final years were spent raising money to find a cure for the condition which took his life. we'll hear from those who knew him well. also this morning, people who use social media posts to encourage self—harm face criminal prosecution under new government proposals. several people are still missing feared dead after a mudslide swept away homes on the italian island of ischia.

a titan of rugby, of sport, of life. at his last appearance on the pitch, a rapturous reception — just one of many doddie weir received at murrayfield. doddie weir, when he goes like that, he is like a mad giraffe, but he's got great skills. doddie weir was one of scotland's favourite sons and most loved sportsman — at the heart of any team he played for, melrose rfc, the newcastle falcons among them. he earned more than 60 caps for scotland, starred in three world cups, and was a big presence on the 97 lions tour in south africa, his personality always shining through. doddie weir, you were seen by a group of south african journalists in the nightclub in port elizabeth.

mistaken identity. (laughter) it wasn't until 2004 that he hung up his boots to spend more time with family, retiring from rugby to a farm in the scottish borders. but in 2016 he received news that would change his life forever — that he had motor neurone disease. he told breakfast early in 2020, along with fellow players, rob burrow and stephen derby, about his wife's reaction when he was first diagnosed. she burst into tears, but from the rugby resilience, i knew what i had, what the issue was. so i said "all right, i've got this, and i try to find out". then i did the dreaded google — "what's going on?" — and up came mnd. oh oh. it is currently an incurable condition affecting the nerves and brain, but doddie weir wanted to change that, raising millions for research and campaigning through his foundation. it led to him receiving

an 0be from the queen, an honorary degree, and being honoured at the sports personality of the year awards. i've been involved in sport for a long time, and what it does show you is you've got a bit of spirit, a bit of fight, and my fight is to try and find a cure for mnd. speaking again to breakfast in september this year, he was still one of the lads. hi dodd, i haven't seen you for awhile. how have you been, you big giraffe? but he was also keen to raise awareness of the impact of mnd for those who might not have been in the limelight like he was. in a tweet, his family said:

friend and fellow rugby player rob burrows said: and the prince and princess of wales: doddie weir was always in the warm embrace of the murrayfield crowd. he was a hero to rugby fans, but was more than that — he was loved, he was respected — far beyond the sport where it all first began. frances read, bbc news. just an amazing character. i never met him but it sounds like he had such humour and character throughout and that tireless campaigning when he must�*ve been grieving and terrified about the future, he still

"he will always be a champion", kev added. isn't that a gorgeous photo of the two of them? so many tributes. just picking out some of them. and princess anne, who is patron of mnd scotland, said in a statement:

we will talk a lot more about that this morning and particularly about raising awareness and the work that doddie was able to doing that, and raising much—needed funds for those charities. fiend raising much-needed funds for those charities. �* . ., , charities. and reflecting on his character. _ charities. and reflecting on his character, will _ charities. and reflecting on his character, will be _ charities. and reflecting on his character, will be speaking i charities. and reflecting on his character, will be speaking to| charities. and reflecting on his i character, will be speaking to eddie nichol, former captain, they knew each other as kids, andjill douglas, friend and ceo of his charity. we look forward to speaking to them. but it is 11 minutes past seven. encouraging self—harm online could soon become a criminal offense, under new changes to the government's online safety bill. ministers say the decision was influenced by the case of 14—year—old molly russell, who took her own life in 2017, after viewing content about self—harm and suicide on social media. laura tra nt reports. 14—year—old molly russell from harrow in london died five years ago. the inquest into her

death found she took her own life after looking at content on social media relating to self—harm. since she passed away, molly's family have been campaigning for legislation to be passed to better protect young people online. the online safety bill has been in the making for four years, with frequent delays and updates. earlier this week, molly's dad, ian russell, spoke to the bbc, and expressed his frustration in delays of changes to the law. i think the online safety bill is something i care deeply about, because without a change that regulates the companies to operate their platforms more safely, these tragedies will continue to happen. it's too late for me, so in a way, it isn't a huge personal investment.

i'm just frustrated that an opportunity for change and an opportunity for greater safety for children has been delayed for so long. it's been confirmed the updated online safety bill will be put before parliament with some further changes. now, the encouragement of self—harm online is to be criminalised, ultimately with prison sentences and fines, so companies which do not remove illegal content could face fines, and perpetrators will be sentenced through the courts. this is the government trying to show that it is strong, that it can clamp on this behaviour, particularly when it targets children. but, in fact, this is a very complex area, with a lot of grey space in between where a lot of predators and others will continue to act, and, frankly, it will be difficult to enforce both for a regulator and a government eager to act.

the molly rose foundation, set up by herfamily to campaign for better online safety, says the update to the online safety bill is a significant move, but stressed it is important that other half of it legal content is within the scope of the bill. it is expected the amended online safety bill will be put before parliament in early december. laura trant, bbc news. rescue teams have been working through the night on the italian holiday island of ischia, after a mudslide triggered by heavy rain on friday caused significant damage. local officials say one person has been confirmed dead and at least 11 others are missing. our italy correspondent, mark lowen, has this report. through the night came the rain, torrential and fast. and then the mud — a landslide pushing through ischia before dawn, burying and upturning everything in its path. cars, trees, debris uprooted and thrown aside.

the rescue boats set off early, but were hampered by strong winds and rough seas, buffeting attempts to reach the island from naples. as they came ashore, the impact was clear. morning light revealed the torrents of mud and what they had buried. "this mountain has fallen on the homes that are no longer there", he says. houses were engulfed with people trapped beneath the mud. dozens of firefighters help evacuate those they could, a rescue and a search for those still missing. the fear as more areas are unearthed, the number of confirmed victims could rise. for the islanders, their tranquillity was shaken by a nightmare. translation: there are some cars that are facing _ upwards, that are shifted to the side — looking at them, one cannot explain how it was possible. vehicles were tossed aside

and battered, hurled by a wave of mud into the waves of the ocean. houses have been cut off, some without power — the authorities calling on residents to stay inside. ischia's narrow streets are caked in the chaos. many of its homes, illegally built over the years, unstable and vulnerable. now an anxious wait for the weather to left to see the extent of the damage wreaked, turning ischia from island idyll into rivers of mud. that was mark lowen reporting. ukraine's national police chief says 32 civilians have been killed by russian shelling in kherson city and the wider region since pro moscow forces withdrew two weeks ago. let's get more on this now, we're joined by our correspondent jessica parker, who is in kyiv for us this morning. jessica, what more do we know

about these strikes? of course, khernson is recently liberated and since then there have been reported to make repeated reports of heavy shelling and that update overnight, we were told by ukrainian authorities that 32 civilians have been killed, also of note there was a report as well a young girl being injured and she was taken to the region's children's hospital, two weeks ago, just over two weeks ago russian forces withdrew from kherson, seen as a major victory for ukrainian forces but russian troops withdrew to the other side of the river where it is thought they are digging in and sources suggest a shelling from that area, so this is not the first time we have heard reports of heavy shelling but this is a kind of update in terms of the gold that ukrainian authorities say is being placed on the ukrainian civilians. evacuations have taken place, three evacuations for the government but many residents remain in that area facing difficult conditions, not

least of all as well as the fighting nearby, but energy outages, that we have seen across ukraine, we have an update overnight from the presidency who says that numerous regions, including here in key avenue, they are continuing to see energy outages, they are still trying to restore the system of the last week's missile attacks targeted critical infrastructure, and they had to keep restoring power but what they do stabilise the system, people are being urged not to consume too much energy, to be frugal in their use and planned outages will return which was what we were seeing before the most recent wave of missile strikes when you see energy turned up strikes when you see energy turned up in certain areas of the city or other parts of ukraine as part of an effort to stabilise the system and of course, you can see, the weather is pretty cold temperatures are set to drop next week. for is pretty cold temperatures are set to drop next week.— to drop next week. for now, thank ou so to drop next week. for now, thank you so much- _ to drop next week. for now, thank you so much. think— to drop next week. for now, thank you so much. think about - to drop next week. for now, thank you so much. think about those i you so much. think about those without power _ you so much. think about those without power as _ you so much. think about those without power as we _ you so much. think about those without power as we head i you so much. think about those without power as we head into i you so much. think about those i without power as we head into the deepest winter which will be so

ireland in western scotland, some of the showers here heavy and thundery, still quite blustery in western scotland, not as windy as it was yesterday and still mild, 10/30 degrees. deny that men will slowly clear the south—east corner, we will see plenty of showers across the western southern part as well and some fog developing a north—eastern england, someone that could be quite dense. it could be chilly in the north—east of england, a touch of frost for some, most places between five and eight degrees. tomorrow they will be some showers around, initially across scotland and northern ireland but they will fade, so mainly and sunny here tomorrow but showers continuing for western and southern coast, some happy and thundery, some of the fog and lingering parts — across parts of north—east england, 12 in plymouth but as we look further ahead through the coming week we are going to see somewhat chilly weather, nothing exceptional for the time of year, debra just dropping a little but they won't be as much rain, it will be drier. ,, , . .,,

" force of nature", "champion", "inspiration", "friend" — they're just some of the tributes paid to doddie weir, whose death has been announced at the age of 52. it comes six years after the former scotland rugby international was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. here on breakfast we followed his journey as he raised millions of pounds to support others living with the condition. here he is in his own words. the average life expectancy is between one and three years, so i am here over that, still running, still smiling. is horrific what happens and eventually, you need help elsewhere and this why the big thing, all three of us are campaigning and we need help because at the moment there is no cure, it's at the moment there is no cure, it's a terminal illness. still need a bit

a larger—than—life character, wasn't he? huge personality, huge heart, and a huge determination to raise awareness of mnd, he showed the real—world impact of this disease but always did it with a smile on his face, fire in his spirit, and thanks to doddie and rob, it is not a cinderella disease anymore, doddie really brought this into the nation's front room. tell]! really brought this into the nation's front room. tell us about the disease _ nation's front room. tell us about the disease and, _ nation's front room. tell us about the disease and, because - nation's front room. tell us about the disease and, because i - nation's front room. tell us about the disease and, because i keep i the disease and, because i keep thinking — the disease and, because i keep thinking about how difficult it must have ireen— thinking about how difficult it must have been throughout the past five years _ have been throughout the past five years to _ have been throughout the past five years to be grieving, terrified of what _ years to be grieving, terrified of what is — years to be grieving, terrified of what is coming next but to be able to speak _ what is coming next but to be able to speak so — what is coming next but to be able to speak so publicly, it can�*t have been _ to speak so publicly, it can�*t have been easy — to speak so publicly, it can�*t have been easy. we to speak so publicly, it can't have been easy-— been easy. we often say is the disease that _ been easy. we often say is the disease that neurologist i been easy. we often say is the i disease that neurologist themselves would least like to contract. it is a disease of the motor nerves, the nerves that basically communicate

been huge advances in the past ten years, we have become further in the past ten years then in the previous century. i think we are actually at a stage now where we almost reached the threshold of understanding this disease are. we don't understand it all but we are at a stage where we are moving from the question of what on earth is going onto 0k, what can we do it, and what we are seeing is more and more interest from the drug industry, the drug companies are not here to make the world a better place, that's kind of a side effect, they are here primarily money for their shareholders but the fact that we are seeing more and more drug companies coming into mnd researchers because they think they can do something about this disease and our role is to try and facilitate that process, and give them the knowledge, the ideas in order to develop effective treatments.— order to develop effective treatments. ~ , :, :,

the next stages of how we access this funding and how we spend this as effectively as possible to make sure that we are moving the conveyor belt along from lab to ultimately doctor's prescription pad. i5 belt along from lab to ultimately doctor's prescription pad. is a doctor's prescription pad. is a reality that — doctor's prescription pad. is a reality that those _ doctor�*s prescription pad. is a reality that those drug companies will come — reality that those drug companies will come aboard because more and more _ will come aboard because more and more of— will come aboard because more and more of us — will come aboard because more and more of us will need help at some poiht _ more of us will need help at some poiht ih _ more of us will need help at some poiht in the — more of us will need help at some point in the future? that more of us will need help at some point in the future?— point in the future? that is true, we are an _ point in the future? that is true, we are an ageing _ point in the future? that is true, we are an ageing population, i point in the future? that is true, l we are an ageing population, and these neurodegenerative diseases, parkinson's, alzheimer's, they are more common the older you get, so certainly we do need to find these effective sooner rather than later. thank you for your time this morning, and sorry to cathy and the boys this morning who lost their

we. ..got. . . robots. now, this is our kind of place! just opened at heriot—watt university in edinburgh, the national robotarium is a research centre for scientists, to take the latest robotics and explore the best ways they can be used in industry as well as all walks of life. one of the aims of the national robotarium is to try and work out what work works for humans and what work doesn't work for humans, and therefore the robots should do that work instead. that's what they're trying to work out. what? well, if you didn't understand what that was about, maybe the robots could explain it better. what sort of research goes on here? research about human robot interaction, - artificial intelligence and trustworthy - autonomous systems. are they going to do weird experiments on us? no, this is a kind of place where they work with industry to explore robotics in society

and in the workplace. great. i love field trips. i feel excited. well, don't we all? one of the superstars of the robot world in general is spot — boston dynamics' flagship all—terrain dog—o—pod. out of the box, spot comes with lots of simple—sounding but really actually very complicated ability. that's my favourite. that's the bit i love — the side—to—side. spencer laughs. it can walk, balance, and it has lots of built—in safety features. and then it's up to researchers like rahul to try and customise it for new applications. we are looking at using this in construction sectors, especially getting them to walk around in confined spaces like in the nuclear decommission sites.

one of the things that we are doing right now is adding some custom sensors, like 3d laser scanners, generating a 3d map of a construction site. what it's doing right now is using the manipulator arm to semi—autonomously pick up a bottle. rahul has programmed in the idea of the bottle, the image of the bottle, and then spot is going and picking it up on its own. and it's done a good job. good boy! boston dynamics may have created the best—known quadruped robot in the world, but it's certainly not the only one. no, we've seen many on our travels, and james clayton has been to boston — to mit — where he's been meeting not a big dog, but a big cat. james: here at click, we've been following this guy around for a few years now. the incredibly animal—like mini cheetah. i've been told, though, that the mini cheetah has gotten cleverer. the boffins here call it the "learn—by—experience model" — machine learning that allows the cheetah to negotiate objects through trial and error.

and i'm told its learnt how to play football. now, i'm no ronaldo, but i thought i'd put it through its paces. but first, a piece to camera. 0k, we're going to play some football. i can't do any skills. this might take a long time. let's play some football! whistle. he laughs. oh, i thought he was running after us! with that out of the way, it was time to test it out. good skills! its close ball control was pretty good, though sometimes it seemed to be concentrating so hard on the football, it forgot how to actually walk. and trying to tackle it was pretty hard, too. it's quite scary! the researchers also decided to take it to places it had never been before, to see how it would do.

ooh. 0k. oh, can it do this? i'm not actually sure, but we can give it a try. let's see if i can do it. oh, wow. 0h... kind of. oh, look at it right itself! wow. yeah. so the thing is, it can't... it can't actually see the stairs. this is a blind controller, so it doesn't know that the stair's coming. it has to be totally reactive. so it hasn't learned how to do this, it's just reacting to falling, basically, down the stairs. yeah. i took a little bit of risk. it is really impressive. but what are the real—world applications for this? daniela rus is the director of csail. the robot can carry things for us, and can traverse dangerous territory and present us with information that is really too difficult for us to reach ourselves. the robot could also carry things for us as we walk up a mountain path. within a home, we have a lot of wheel—based robots, but those robots are not

going to go up the stairs — but the mini cheetah will. so if you want your robot to deliver cookies before bedtime, and that robot has to go from the kitchen to the bedroom up the stairs, then you really want the cheetah. with the world cup in full swing — both the cheetah and i show you how hard it is to actually play football well. it's still learning and getting better — unlike me. but training to do this shows its versatility. perhaps they could even be robot pets of the future. spencer: that was james. back at the robotarium, we've moved on to a very different sort of robot. this may be the size of a five—year—old child, but it's being used to analyse the interaction between brain and body in parkinson's patients. and in the future, it may even be able to predict disease progression.

it's very early days at the moment, and really only a proof of concept that meaningful data for parkinson's and other neurological conditions can be transferred from research into this form to be learnt from. there are cameras in the eyes, and also the body is covered with tactile sensors, which means if you touch it on the legs, the chest, the arms, or even the fingertips, it can feel you. parkinson's is one of several degenerative diseases which new technology and techniques may be able to slow the onset of. and nick kwek has been to meet someone who is determined that his condition won't take everything from him. nick: jim maxwell is one of around 5,000 people in the uk living with motor neuron disease — a terminal illness. putting shoes on is impossible for me. lifting trousers up's impossible for me to do. the illness is starting to take a good hold of me now.

known as mnd or als, the condition gradually takes away movement from people — and, for almost everyone with it, their voice, too. to actually live in a world where you can't speak and be heard, it sounds — to me, it sounds alien and frightening at the same time. thanks to some new tech, jim's going to record his voice from home, so it can be digitally reproduced if he loses it. it's really important that i do bank this voice so that i can still be seen, still be me. i will always be me is an interactive storybook by intel and dell. created in partnership with rolls—royce, the mnd association and edinburgh—based start—up speakunique, it conveys the effects of mnd written in the first person. it takes around an hour to read — a fraction of the time it would traditionally to record in a professional voiceover booth — and all the recordings from the book are sent here for processing.

personalised speaking. all of our voices are built on what we call a base voice, which incorporates hundreds and hundreds of hours of people speaking, which means that when we come to recording an individual, we've got all those examples already in our system. and so with the short amount of recording that the individual can do through the book, we can then sort of adapt our base voice to sound like that one individual. as well as replicating, the company says it's able to restore voices back to healthy—sounding speech. the first three are really fast, but they might be ok if they were slowed down. our system understands what, say, a normal articulation pattern would be. so if someone comes to record and they've noticed that their articulation is slurred, or they have effort in their speech, we can disregard anything that might be part of their disease and retain just what's them. when you talk to me, and i want to listen to... for someone who's been diagnosed with this, - every minute counts. and that process is extremely meaningless, except for- the fact that eventually it generates a voice. - so essentially it's a way to get people to speaki

to their loved ones in ways| that can get them to adjust to what's going to happen and what's coming. - dad's always been the life and soul of a party. if you walk into places, he's normally the first person you hear. yeah, he's the laugh you hear, the voice you hear. _ yeah. to even still have that, even if it's not coming from him... i think will be great. how important is it to be able to hear your dad's voice once he's gone? sometimes he says stuff and, you know, i hear it and i'm like, "oh, please don't forget that." you know, if i didn't manage to capture it, like... yeah. i think my daughters might be a bit sick of hearing me, but i think it's essential for me. aland deep learning| is improving at a rate that none of us can - actually even comprehend. to me, itjust says- that the fidelity of these systems will start to sound much, much more - like people, right? without having to have that

huge cost of capturing - data just for the sake - of generating voice banking. and i will always love you. that's it. what did you think about that, jim? yeah, some of the phrases and wording, it hits a raw nerve. it talks about where i'll need help from my girls — whether to get dressed — when obviously, when they were babies, that was myjob. yeah. it's quite strong. of course, creating a voice bank isjust one part of the puzzle. putting it to use is another thing altogether. when i'm actually dead and gone, they can still go into that app and still listen to my voice. so i might be gone, but i'll still be there for them. wow. that was nick. and that's it from us. thanks forjoining us

on ourjaunt around the national robotarium here in edinburgh. there's much more in the full—length version that can be found on iplayer. thanks for watching. bye. captions by red good morning, welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and nina warhurst. our headlines today. tributes have been paid to doddie weir, the former scottish international rugby player who has died from motor neurone disease at the age of 52. a hero on and off the pitch, his final years were spent raising money to find a cure for the condition which took his life.

we'll hear from those who knew him well. people who use social media posts to encourage self—harm face criminal prosecution under new government proposals. several people are still missing feared dead after a mudslide swept away homes on the italian island of ischia. good morning from doha, where some messi magic helps argentina get their world cup back on track with a win over mexico. and, ahead of the final of i'm a celebrity get me out of here, we'll ask, could the controversial contestant matt hancock be crowned king of thejungle? good morning. rain will linger across the south—east of england during today. elsewhere some spells of sunshine but some heavy showers. into the start of the new week, fog is likely to become an issue. all of the weather details coming up.

it's sunday, november 27th. our main story. tributes have been paid to the rugby union star, campaigner and fundraiser doddie weir, who has died at the age of 52. the scottish international had been diagnosed with motor neurone disease six years ago. described as a "force of nature" by his wife, doddie used his profile to push for better research into the condition, raising millions of pounds through his charity foundation. frances read reflects on his life. a titan of rugby. of sport, of life. at his last appearance on the pitch, a rapturous reception, just one of many doddie weir received at murrayfield. and great stuff there by doddie weir, who, when he goes like that, he's like a mad giraffe, but he's got great skills. doddie was one of scotland's favourite sons and most loved sportsmen. at the heart of any team he played for, melrose rfc and newcastle falcons among them. he earned more than 60 caps for scotland, starred

in three world cups... doddie weir has scored. doddie weir is the man who's over. ..and was a big presence on the 1997 lions tour in south africa. his personality always shining through. doddie weir, you were seen by a group of south african journalists in a nightclub in port elizabeth. mistaken identity. it wasn't until 2004 that he hung up his boots to spend more time with family, retiring from rugby to a farm in the scottish borders. but in 2016, he'd received news that would change his life forever, that he had motor neurone disease. he told breakfast early in 2020, along with fellow players rob burrow and stephen darby, about his wife's reaction when he was first diagnosed. she burst into tears. but i think almost the rugby resilience, i knew what i'd had,

knew what the issue was. so when he said to me, "it's all right, we've got this, we're going to try and fight it." and then i did the dreaded google, what have i got, what's going on? and it came up mnd, and it was kind of, uh—oh. it's currently an incurable condition affecting the nerves and brain. but doddie wanted to change that, raising millions for research and campaigning to raise awareness through his foundation. it led to him receiving an obe from the queen, an honorary degree... the 2019 helen rollason award recipient is doddie weir. and being honoured at the sports personality of the year awards. i've been involved in sport for a long time and what it does show you is you've got a bit of spirit, a bit of fight, and my fight is to try and find a cure for mnd. speaking again to breakfast in september this year, he was still one of the lads. hi, dod, not seen you for a while. how have you been, you big giraffe?

but he was also keen to raise awareness of the impact of motor neurone disease for those who might not be in the limelight like he was. in a tweet, his family said... friend and fellow rugby player rob burrow said... and the prince and princess of wales... doddie weir was always in the warm embrace of the murrayfield crowd. he was a hero to rugby fans,

but he was more than that. he was loved, he was respected far beyond the sport where it all first began. frances read, bbc news. as we've been hearing, plenty of people have been paying tribute to doddie. prime minister rishi sunak tweeted... and former rugby league player rob burrow, who has also been living with mnd, tweeted... rob's criticism of the government is in reference to the £50 million that was promised in november 2021 to help find new therapies for motor neurone disease.

the government says it is still committed to the funding but the mnd association charity recently expressed frustration that the money had yet to reach researchers. we're joined now by former scotland captain andy nicol along withjill douglas, who is chief executive of my name's doddie foundation. morning tea both, thank you for being with us. a terribly sad morning, particularly for those who knew him so well. how did you get to know doddy, jill? i’m knew him so well. how did you get to know doddy. jill?— know doddy, jill? i'm going back in time, know doddy, jill? i'm going back in time. really- _ know doddy, jill? i'm going back in time. really- i— know doddy, jill? i'm going back in time, really. i knew— know doddy, jill? i'm going back in time, really. i knew him _ know doddy, jill? i'm going back in time, really. i knew him in - know doddy, jill? i'm going back in time, really. i knew him in my- know doddy, jill? i'm going back in| time, really. i knew him in my early teens, we are both in the scottish border is a farming background, so i knew him through horses, ponies, rugby clubs, he has been a lifelong friend, he introduced me to my husband, he was best man in our wedding and godfather to our eldest.

it a time for us to may be reflect and be thankful for the fun times in the life that we had with doddie but also be true to his legacy and keep carrying on his work and how determined he was to shine a light on this disease but also see what we can do together to try and bring a cure about. ifeel as can do together to try and bring a cure about. i feel as though progress is being made. the last few years of his life that was very much his focus but it did not define him. he had so much more in his life, he had a rich and vibrant life, doddie. that's why it's so heartbreaking this morning. that's why it's so heartbreaking this morning-— that's why it's so heartbreaking this morning. let's reflect on who doddie was _ this morning. let's reflect on who doddie was as _ this morning. let's reflect on who doddie was as a _ this morning. let's reflect on who doddie was as a man. _ this morning. let's reflect on who doddie was as a man. how- this morning. let's reflect on who doddie was as a man. how will. this morning. let's reflect on who. doddie was as a man. how will you remember doddie? i doddie was as a man. how will you remember doddie?— doddie was as a man. how will you remember doddie? i think because he's done so _ remember doddie? i think because he's done so much _ remember doddie? i think because he's done so much in _ remember doddie? i think because he's done so much in the _ remember doddie? i think because he's done so much in the last - remember doddie? i think because he's done so much in the last five l he's done so much in the last five years— he's done so much in the last five years for— he's done so much in the last five years for mnd, we sometimes forget 'ust years for mnd, we sometimes forget just how— years for mnd, we sometimes forget just how good a rugby player doddie was. just how good a rugby player doddie was he _ just how good a rugby player doddie was. he was brilliant. i first met him through scottish schools in 35 years— him through scottish schools in 35 years ago. — him through scottish schools in 35 years ago, he was a number eight

should have been meeting professors tomorrow, we have postponed it because i feel like we need to take a moment to reflect on doddie before we go back into that conversation. the work does go on. i feel as though what doddie was able to do was talk to people in a very straight forward way, he was a very challenging, he asked very blunt questions and often was given a very blunt answers and i think that was so important, the way that he handled that. but also the way that he gave hope to people with mnd. the number of families and individuals he reached out to and contacted over the last five years who were going through the same thing that he was was really powerful and the messages we have had over the last 2a hours have been incredible from people who have been incredible from people who have been incredible from people who have been touched by doddie and want to help. the fundraising has been hugely important, we have committed £8 million into research which is a phenomenal amount of money and only possible because of these incredible people who were inspired by doddie

in what he was trying to do. we have also given significant funds to help people living with the disease live as best alive as they can. the crucial thing now is just to carry that forward. we do believe we are making progress and it was so important to have him as a figurehead. yes, he's gone, and we will remember him and on that legacy. he always said he felt lucky because he was well supported and had a wonderful family around because he was well supported and had a wonderfulfamily around him but many people were not as lucky as he was. that was testament to the man himself. so we will carry on the work and we will not rest. and we thank everybody who has been so incredibly kind and supportive and honestly, some of the imaginative things that people do, we have got doddie aid starting injanuary, incredible people young and old stepping forward and wanted to help which inspires us all every day. finally, andy, what do you think you would make of all this? he went into sport to be a sportsman, he developed this illness and will be

was influenced by the case of 14—year—old molly russell, who took her own life in 2017, after viewing content about self—harm and suicide on social media. laura tra nt reports. 14—year—old molly russell from harrow in london died five years ago. the inquest into her death found she took her own life after looking at content on social media relating to self—harm. since she passed away, molly's family have been campaigning for legislation to be passed to better protect young people online. the online safety bill has been in the making for four years with frequent delays and updates. earlier this week, molly's dad, ian russell, spoke to the bbc and expressed his frustration at delays in changes to the law. i think the online safety bill... it's something i care deeply about because without a change that regulates the companies to operate their platforms more safely, these tragedies

will continue to happen. it's too late for me. so in a way, it's not a huge personal investment. i'm just frustrated that an opportunity for change and an opportunity for greater safety for children has been delayed for so long. it's been confirmed the updated online safety bill will be put before parliament with some further changes. now the encouragement of self—harm online is to be criminalised, ultimately with prison sentences and fines, so companies which do not remove illegal content could face fines and perpetrators will be sentenced through the courts. this is the government trying to show that it is strong, that it can clamp down on this behaviour, particularly when it targets children. but in fact this is a very complex area with lots of grey space in between where a lot of predators and others will continue to act.

and frankly, it's going to be very difficult to enforce, both for a regulator and for a government eager to act. the molly rose foundation, set up by herfamily to campaign for better online safety, says the update to the online safety bill is a significant move. but stress it's important other harmful but legal content is also within the scope of the bill. it's expected the amended online safety bill will be put before parliament in early december. laura trant, bbc news. joining us now is amanda stephens who's been working alongside the family of molly russell to get the online safety bill passed. amanda's son olly was murdered last year. police said his killers' attack had been planned on social media. very good morning to you, thank you for speaking with us. does this feel like a step in the right direction? it really does. it's such a positive

thing to hear. because what we now know about social media and the lives that our children live on it is that thing is that in the real world, away from that world, are illegal, stop being illegal there. it is not policed, so actually to have this step forward and this strong stance on this is fantastic news. ~ strong stance on this is fantastic news. , news. we saw with molly's inquest, the twists and _ news. we saw with molly's inquest, the twists and turns _ news. we saw with molly's inquest, the twists and turns on _ news. we saw with molly's inquest, the twists and turns on social - news. we saw with molly's inquest, | the twists and turns on social media and how difficult it is to police it but that should not be a reason not to. i but that should not be a reason not to. . ., . , g , but that should not be a reason not to. . to. i agree, totally. just because something _ to. i agree, totally. just because something is _ to. i agree, totally. just because something is hard, _ to. i agree, totally. just because something is hard, it _ to. i agree, totally. just because something is hard, it shouldn't l to. i agree, totally. just because - something is hard, it shouldn't mean that it stops us wanting to push forward. at the end of the day, our children are losing our lives, we are losing them from our lives. it's wrong, and we need to, as quickly as possible, but in the best possible way, move forward. and i can't stress how strongly i feel about

this. this is positive news, and i will not be disheartened, yes, it is going to be tricky, but let's just stay positive. going to be tricky, but let's 'ust stay positivei going to be tricky, but let's 'ust stay positive. absolutely. it feels like a lot of— stay positive. absolutely. it feels like a lot of the _ stay positive. absolutely. it feels like a lot of the hard _ stay positive. absolutely. it feels like a lot of the hard work- stay positive. absolutely. it feels like a lot of the hard work has . stay positive. absolutely. it feels l like a lot of the hard work has now been done in acknowledging the fact that it has been lawless. now do you think things will be a little bit easier to add further amendments? i easier to add further amendments? i think... ithink easier to add further amendments? i think... i think what i found what is so frustrating out of all of this is so frustrating out of all of this is it has been proven time and time again through the loss of our children that social media is not police are not governed. yet, even with this awareness, the social media companies do nothing to rectify it, do nothing to protect our children. so without the online safety bill being very strong, we are left without a solution. band safety bill being very strong, we are left without a solution. and you met with molly's _ are left without a solution. and you met with molly's family _ are left without a solution. and you met with molly's family last - are left without a solution. and you met with molly's family last week. | met with molly's family last week. you went so far as to say that lives

develop across parts of north—east england where there could be some frost but for most of us overnight temperatures will be between four and 8 degrees. a little chillier than recently. some of the fog could be cs low declare in the north—east, showers in western and southern parts but spells of sunshine. northern ireland and scotland by the afternoon predominantly dry and sunny. chillierthan afternoon predominantly dry and sunny. chillier than it has been in that it sunny. chillier than it has been in thatitis sunny. chillier than it has been in that it is one of the themes of the coming weeks, temperatures dropping away a little bit, nothing exceptional for the time of year but feeling cooler into the start of december. fog a problem on tuesday, generally some cloud through the week but then turning dryer. after a ll after all that rain, we will take a bit of grey nothing exceptional. time to start getting the extra layers out. rescue efforts are continuing on the italian holiday island

of ischia, after a mudslide triggered by heavy rain on friday caused significant damage. local officials say one person has been confirmed dead and at least 11 others are missing. our italy correspondent, mark lowen joins us from nearby naples this morning. good morning. what do we know about what is going on on the ground there? we spoke to one journalist there? we spoke to one journalist there this morning saying a lot of there this morning saying a lot of the community were getting involved in the rescue efforts but has official help got there as well? it official help got there as well? it will now begin to arrive more easily because the ferries have restarted, naples where i am now to ischia. we are on board one of the best there is to resume this morning because they were suspended yesterday after they were suspended yesterday after the very heavy weather. not only the torrential rain on saturday morning which triggered the landslide at fyvie, but very rough seas and strong winds. now the ferries have resumed and that help the rescue effort and bring in vehicles to clear some of the mud. the scenes

from ischia were very dramatic. it was a torrent of mud and a breach which hurtled down the hills into one town on the island, uprooting, flinging vehicles across the island and into the sea itself. burying houses. so far one person is known to have died and ii houses. so far one person is known to have died and 11 people are missing but the rescuers fear that as they accessible part of the island and clear more of the mud, perhaps they will find other bodies buried beneath it.— buried beneath it. thank you very much for now. — buried beneath it. thank you very much for now, mark. _ buried beneath it. thank you very much for now, mark. he - buried beneath it. thank you very much for now, mark. he will - buried beneath it. thank you very | much for now, mark. he will keep buried beneath it. thank you very . much for now, mark. he will keep us updated through the day.— updated through the day. hoping as the sun comes _ updated through the day. hoping as the sun comes up _ updated through the day. hoping as the sun comes up in _ updated through the day. hoping as the sun comes up in the _ updated through the day. hoping as the sun comes up in the light - updated through the day. hoping as the sun comes up in the light gets . the sun comes up in the light gets through that they will find some of the people. through that they will find some of the tteole. . through that they will find some of the tteole. , . ., ,. the people. yes, allowing the rescue efforts to get — the people. yes, allowing the rescue efforts to get under _ the people. yes, allowing the rescue efforts to get under way. _ for years, it's been one of the biggest challenges facing successive governments — how best to reform social care and help ease the pressure on the nhs. the chancellor, jeremy hunt has

announced an extra £2.8 billion in funding for england's care sector next year, but with more than 2 million people waiting for support, campaigners say it's not enough. nikki fox reports. 81—year—old janice field was taken to hospital with a suspected heart attack. she hadn't had one, but the family say she was sick and colchester hospital was extremely busy. despite no carers being in place, she was returned in an ambulance at 10.45 at night. she actually didn't arrive into her flat until midnight. to discharge an 81 year old lady and have them having to be transferred in the middle of the night is totally u na cce pta ble. but the nurse we spoke to was, in fact, emphatic. she was desperate. she said, "no, we have no beds. this has got to happen. she's clinically fit, she's got to go, she's got to go.

and individuals are having to make decisions that are inhumane. colchester hospital say they're doing everything they can to respond to the high demand for their services. janice was so ill, she was readmitted the next day. her daughter—in—law used to work as a nurse. we always had issues with beds to a point. but we would never, ever, ever have considered sending someone home past 5pm. older people have paid their dues into society. they've worked hard and they need more respect than this. i think there are significant breakdowns in the system at the moment and clear evidence of that is the fact that we've

got hospital wards that are chockablock full. that position is only going to get worse through the winter months. and we know that there are beds sitting available in most care homes where those people can be better looked after. brandon park nursing home pays a living wage to attract workers, but it struggles to offer councilfunded placements. so this is one of the few vacant rooms we have available at the home at the moment, and it would probably be rented out for something in the region of £1,200 a week. social services rates would pay a little over half of that. some people would say that you just want to charge more because you want the profit. the cost of providing quality care is really high. thinking about the massive hike in energy prices we've all seen this year. how does it feel when you take a phone call from the local authority and you do have to say no to people? it's really hard, particularly because people are being presented to us with more and more complex health needs.

we are in what feels like crisis times now and that is only going to get worse over the next decade. all the time we are playing a little bit of catch up and we're always short of the funding we need to provide the services we would all want in our older life. the government has delayed a cap on care costs recommended by sir andrew dilnot. it would have meant people paying less for care, but local authorities say they can't afford more. they have to consider, how are they going to pay and set aside that money to pay for it. would councils cope if they did have to cover the costs? no, they could not cope, no. because it would increase costs dramatically once people reach those caps. and the budgets are under pressure today. by 2041, the population of over 855 in some places could double.

with the number of care workers decreasing, some say that paints a worrying picture. that was nikki fox reporting. three years and 411 days — that's how long borisjohnson held the most powerfuljob in the uk, as prime minister. it was a period marked by unprecedented turmoil, from brexit to the pandemic, and of course, a series of controversies that ultimately forced him out of office. now, a new book takes a look behind—the—scenes look at the events that led to his resignation earlier this year. it was written by the financial timesjournalist, sebastian payne, who joins us now in the studio. we were discussing before the programme, there were so many bits of him resigning, just talk us through it. of him resigning, 'ust talk us through eh of him resigning, 'ust talk us throu.h it, . ., ., , ., ,, through it. what actually happened? reau through it. what actually happened?

which was the scandal over chris pincher, the former deputy chief whip who had sexual abuse allegations thrown at him and boris johnson failed in his response. so it is those three factors. it was july last year, after a tumultuous 24 july last year, after a tumultuous 2a hours, he decided that finally it was over and he would have to go. they will be the three p if you do a—level politics. they will be the three p if you do a-level politics.— a-level politics. exactly. and you _ a-level politics. exactly. and you say _ a-level politics. exactly. and you say this - a-level politics. exactly. and you say this book i a-level politics. exactly. - and you say this book covers a nine—month period. given what you have explained of quite how much went on that we all lived through, of course, day—to—day, it's hard to see how you can fit it all into one book. it feels like it should be several volumes. book. it feels like it should be severalvolumes. it book. it feels like it should be several volumes. it will certainly be multiple chapters of history textbooks. be multiple chapters of history textbooks-— be multiple chapters of history textbooks. . , ., ., textbooks. the reason i try to do this tuite textbooks. the reason i try to do this quite snappy _ textbooks. the reason i try to do this quite snappy book— textbooks. the reason i try to do this quite snappy book now - textbooks. the reason i try to do this quite snappy book now is . this quite snappy book now is because there is so much interest in borisjohnson and everybody has a very set views. he is the most

marmite politician of modern history. either people love him or they hate him. i've tried to give both sides of him to people, to say that on the one hand he was very flawed, he made a lot of mistakes, but a lot of other people said, actually, i thought he did good stuff. i've tried to give nuance between that, but it is 84,000 words and i wrote it in a monthjust to get out there. it is quite a pacey read and gives you a good sense of the drama of that time. is it read and gives you a good sense of the drama of that time.— the drama of that time. is it too soon? we _ the drama of that time. is it too soon? we have _ the drama of that time. is it too soon? we have all— the drama of that time. is it too soon? we have all lived - the drama of that time. is it too | soon? we have all lived through this, and as you said, whatever you think of borisjohnson, it is all in our very recent memory. what is new? what will we learn in the book that we don't know already?— what will we learn in the book that we don't know already? when we lived throuth we don't know already? when we lived through these — we don't know already? when we lived through these events _ we don't know already? when we lived through these events and _ we don't know already? when we lived through these events and talk - we don't know already? when we lived through these events and talk to - through these events and talk to them, and for some viewers it will be an uncomfortable reminder of a very bad time in politics, but what i have tried to do is to give a real insight track. i did 40 hours of interview, i spoke to civil

servants, cabinet ministers, people very close to the former prime minister, to give you a real sense of what actually goes on behind the scenes. for example, in one of the scenes. for example, in one of the scenes at the end of the book, one of the last chapters is called the bunker, a 24 hour period before borisjohnson goes, where essentially everyone goes a bit mad in downing street and lock themselves in a room where they are trying to prop up this government thatis trying to prop up this government that is falling apart around them. within that part of the book i give direct conversations between michael gove, the levelling up secretary, and borisjohnson. borisjohnson at the very end of his premiership decides to fire michael gove, literally just for revenge decides to fire michael gove, literallyjust for revenge because he felt michael gove had betrayed him. so he rings up michael gove, and he says "oh, prime minister, have you decided to go?". and he says "no, mikey boyd, it is you going." —— boy. the whole edifice

was collapsing around him. michael gove, who was having a drink party in his flat that night was standing with a glass of wine saying, "he is staying? it is that kind of detail you haven't seen elsewhere, and it gives you a real sense of what politics is like, what boris johnson is really like to work with. there's a lot of lessons for where politics goes now because we have obviously had another prime minister since he left, and now on to rishi sunak. it was a very, very tricky nine—month period but the drama has not ended since then either. hagar nine-month period but the drama has not ended since then either.— not ended since then either. how do ou tet not ended since then either. how do you get those _ not ended since then either. how do you get those juicy _ not ended since then either. how do you get those juicy bits _ not ended since then either. how do you get those juicy bits of _ not ended since then either. how do you get those juicy bits of detail? i you get those juicy bits of detail? well, when you speak to lots of people, and i have been in thisjob for about 12 years now, so you do pick up contacts, people's trust, and you do explain to them why you are doing this. one reason to get their side across is for history, we want to be remembered well in books as opposed to newspaper reports at the time, but if body wants to get across their side of the story. when

you live these events every day it ends up as scraps in the media, but with a book you've got more chapters and you can sit back and give a much wider picture. and of course, some of it is ego. people love the idea of it is ego. people love the idea of trying to get themselves into a book. no, never! not politicians! it is telling that you call them scenes. "the final scene of the book". ultimately, he was brought down by his own party. do you think that is because they thought he could not be elected again, or that he wasn't good enough for thejob? the elected again, or that he wasn't good enough for the job? good enough for the 'ob? the two are aned good enough for the 'ob? the two are thked together— good enough for the job? the two are linked together because _ good enough for the job? the two are linked together because they - good enough for the job? the two are linked together because they looked i linked together because they looked at how unpopular he had become in the polls at the time and thought actually, he is not going to win the next general election. there is one thing about the conservative party, or they really care about is winning the next election and staying in power. i think it was partly that, but also, boris johnson power. i think it was partly that, but also, borisjohnson had been prime ministerfor three but also, borisjohnson had been prime minister for three years by that point. he had done very well with the ukraine war, he did well

with the ukraine war, he did well with the ukraine war, he did well with the vaccine roll—out, but his record on other parts of politics wasn't that good. i think a lot of his mps kept saying they would give him another chance, and he went through about three iterations of his downing street team. none of them really worked. it was always chaotic, it was always full of drama, and i think mps eventually thought, you can try something three times and if it's not the people around him, maybe it is a man at the top. eventually they came to that conclusion and thought it was not going to get any better, so they rolled the dice with liz truss, which was possibly not the best idea, and now they have tried to roll it again with rishi sunak. things seem to have calmed down a little bit, but we haven't heard the last of borisjohnson yet. i don't know if you will ever come back as prime minister, but he will be in our politics and our minds. years to come. i suspect you are right. thank you, nice to see you. speaking of drama, john is in qatar. maybe the colourful summer storms later on. good morning.

yes, good morning. we are looking at those teams, those nations who suffered those upsets in their opening matches. how are they going to respond? we will be talking about germany in a moment, who face a huge match today if they are to keep their world cup dream alive. yesterday it was all about some of the star players at this tournament taking centre stage once again. the very best in the world to find on this stage. for the superstars of the world cup, to do it here means so much. for some, it may be their last chance. lionel messi has said this is his last stand. he's 35, but still does the extraordinary. his argentina side had toiled, teetering on the brink of world cup exit. now they saw a future. not just at this tournament,

but when messi moves on, as next to dance through mexico was enzo fernandez. 21, a skilled apprentice. the mastery of messi still in the show. poland haven't made the last round since 1996. it is now in reach thanks to a touch. this was even better than the first save. 1—0 up to saudi arabia, it fell to a man whose career is defined by goals. at 34, this is first—ever at a world cup. he said "the older i get, the more emotional i get". every polish fan in the world will celebrate that. - 23—year—old kylian mbappe plays off raw instinct. he's part of a french team who are champions. no team has retained it since 1962. at 1—1 with denmark, they had a first test,

but found their way to their front man. mbappe scoring again! he has 31 goals for france, and three at this world cup. with this, they are through already. mbappe is in a race for greatness. australia's strength is their collective — their first world cup win in 12 years came from the head of mitchell duke, who scored and made a signal, aj for his son, jackson. good job, dad. this was the day that shone a light on football's greatest stars and its human side. yes, it is amazing after all these years that argentina can still turn to lionel messi to dig themselves out of a hole as they get their world cup campaign back on track after that surprising defeat first time out to saudi arabia. really big day today for germany. they need a win to get their world cup back on track.

they go up against spain. germany lost their first match to japan — one of the shocks of the tournaments so far. things don't get any easier — spain for them today who beat costa rica 7—0. if germany lose and japan beat costa rica, then germany would be out after just two games. we have got plenty of other action coming today. we see belgium taking on morocco. we have got croatia as well, finalists four years ago, when they take on canada and the other match today. you just wonder, with all of these shocks that are played out so far, could the exit of germany be a big talking point again of this tournament? when you consider they went out of the group stage at the last world cup. all eyes will fall on that huge games to come against spain later on. it should be a cracker. it come against spain later on. it should be a cracker.- come against spain later on. it should be a cracker. it will be! it should be a cracker. it will be! it will be it should be a cracker. it will be! it will be very — it should be a cracker. it will be! it will be very exciting. - it should be a cracker. it will be! it will be very exciting. almost l it will be very exciting. almost unthinkable. only brazil have won the world cup more times than germany. he would have predicted

that germany would be going out of the group phase again. they will need their star players to step up, just as lionel messi did yesterday for argentina. john, we are a week in now, and it's a big —— a bit ofa john, we are a week in now, and it's a big —— a bit of a calmer day. what are your thoughts of how the week has gone so far? we hand the magnet know there's been a lot of controversy, but also a lot of sport stop is the balance in the right place, do you think? i stop is the balance in the right place, do you think?— stop is the balance in the right place, do you think? i think the fans are enjoying _ place, do you think? i think the fans are enjoying it. _ place, do you think? i think the fans are enjoying it. just - place, do you think? i think the fans are enjoying it. just being| fans are enjoying it. just being here, one of the great things about a world cup is seeing the fans together, and it has been very good—natured. i think that has been illustrated wherever you go around qatar, wherever the fans are getting together for these matches. qatar, wherever the fans are getting togetherfor these matches. and it has been a tournament of upset so far. some of those shocks have been the big talking points. and with some six days to now before we head into the knockout stages of this world cup, when we get to the kind of business end of things, to still have england and wales in with a

chance, obviously england with a strong chance of qualifying as group winners, but wales still with a mathematical possibility of progressing and that offers a interesting talking point. so many well—documented issues in the build—up, but the football is certainly now fascinating to watch, not least with some of the stars that have put on brilliant performances so far. the likes of lionel messi and rinaldo are here, and is very rare that you get the world's best getting together for a world cup that only happens every four years. so i think the world cup and the football that we are now seeing has been very entertaining so far. ,, , . , far. quite possibly those big names totether far. quite possibly those big names together for— far. quite possibly those big names together for the _ far. quite possibly those big names together for the last _ far. quite possibly those big names together for the last time, - far. quite possibly those big names together for the last time, isn't - together for the last time, isn't it? thank you very much. enjoy the matches today, particularly the german one. this morning, we've been reflecting on the life and legacy of doddie weir — the former rugby star turned fundraising legend, whose death has been announced at the age of 52. doddie was diagnosed with motor

neurone disease six years ago. here on breakfast we followed his journey as he raised millions of pounds to support others living with the condition. this is him in his own words... the average life expectancy is between one and three years, so i am here over that, still running, still smiling. it is horrific what happens eventually — you need help elsewhere and this is why the big thing, all three of us are campaigning and we need help because at the moment there is no cure, it's a terminal illness. still need a bit of help with the shower and eating, but otherwise, i'm down on the farm, quite enjoying it, spending time with the family, driving my tractor which i quite enjoy, just doing normal things. things are not too bad.

recently, doddie who turned 50 last month made a private visit to rob at his home in yorkshire. i've come to see you, come to see how you are getting on. as ever, the former scotland international knows just what to say in an important team talk. i know you are fighting hard.

i'll keep these as my best. so touching to hear him in his own words there, and to see the impact is the illness took hold, but the bravery to keep talking for as long as he could. irate bravery to keep talking for as long as he could-— bravery to keep talking for as long as he could. we have been hearing from people _ as he could. we have been hearing from people that _ as he could. we have been hearing from people that knew— as he could. we have been hearing from people that knew doddie - as he could. we have been hearing from people that knew doddie so l from people that knew doddie so well, and the raising of awareness about the illness, and that report ended there with doddie discussing his friend and fellow fundraiser, kevin sinfield, who has raised more than £1.5 million into research for

motor neurone disease. it’s motor neurone disease. it's incredible. _ motor neurone disease. it's incredible, especially at the moment when we know households are struggling with their finances. let's hear more of the tributes that have been pouring in. he won 52 caps for scotland... and doddie was remembered at twickenham last night during the autumn international match between england and south africa. many more tributes to come within

sports, no doubt. yes, plenty online as well with so many of you sharing thoughts and memories and personal stories about doddie weir and the work he did. take a look at those if you want to. it is 8:51am. ben has got the weather forecast for us. we have seen rain pushing eastward this weekend. that reign in no mood to clearfrom weekend. that reign in no mood to clear from the south—east corner, so it will continue for a time. elsewhere, sunshine and showers today. you can see the rain clinging on across parts of east anglia, the south—east and also the channel islands for a good part of the day. further north and west, many places getting off to a cloudy start. the sun will come out. spells of sunshine for northern ireland and scotland, but they could be scattered showers which could be heavy and thundery. breezy in the west of scotland, but not as busy elsewhere. temperatures 10—13 c. the

range of finely clear from the south—east corner tonight. clear spells and showers elsewhere, with fog developing in north—east england which could be quite dense. temperatures for— eight celsius. tomorrow, sunny spells and showers. the showers will become confined through the day to the western coast of wales, along the south coast of england and the channel islands and some could be heavy and thundery. further north and west some sunshine, although some of the fog in north—east england could linger for a while. chillier than it has been, 8—12 c. through the week ahead, a frontal system is trying to push in from the atlantic. so far, so familiar, but this time, the weather fronts are deflected by this big area of high pressure. an increasingly dominant across the north—east of europe, where it is going to be really, really cold this week. it is going to turn a bit colder than it has been for us, nothing exceptional for the time of year, but temperatures will drop away. a lot more dry weather to come through the week ahead, but there will be mist and fog making it

rather grey and murky at times. have a good sunday. thank you, ben. just the right weather to get my tree up. misty, seasonal. it started with one man and his canoe during lockdown, but has gone on to inspire a whole community to work together to keep their rivers clean. as well as picking litter along the river freshney in north east lincolnshire, james elliot has also found a team of volunteers along the way. hello, my name is james, also known as the canoe river cleaner. i help clean and bring attention to our beautiful river freshney. it all started when we were under lockdown when we were restricted. it's when i saw a kingfisher land on an upended shopping trolley. i just thought, something has got to be done. i've got a canoe, let's crack on.

i've lost track of the amount of litter i've taken out of this river. when i first started, it was typically ten bags every time i went out. he's doing a fantasticjob. whilst it's not the longest river in the country, it's a little bit much for me to manage. it's good for the environment, it's good for the local area. so i started a group called the freshney comrades. nobody likes seeing litter, especially on the river, because of all the wildlife. swans, ducks and things. that's why we come and do our bit and hopefully make it a nice place for everyone. this is kind of meditation for me. i like being around nature, it de—stresses me, and as well as everything, i'm making a difference so it is a win—win. so, together with

what i'm doing on a regular basis and all my volunteers, we see the river in a lot better condition. and also, inspired by a lot of the social media posts that i spend a lot of time doing, to hopefully inspire and educate people, that is having a knock—on effect and people are just treating the river with a bit more care. it's glorious to have this running through our town. we have got a lot of proud people in our town, it starts with them taking care of the environment and people are doing that. people come and pat you on the back and say, do you want a coffee, nice one, and it acts as fuel. it makes me feel that what we are doing is valid and important and keeps me going. when it comes to what i want to do in the future, it's just the same. carry on doing this part of the river that is manageable for me and hopefully inspire others to get their own piece of the environment to change.

somehow really calming as well, watching that. really incredible work, and it shows that good things can come out of lockdown as well. absolutely. the cost of living crisis is having an impact on both households and businesses — particularly rising energy bills. but one company in lancashire has had free power for almost a century by using gravity. phil cunliffe has been for a look around. steel aerial wrote plays were once a common sight, but this is now the only one in europe still in operation, and from a distance it could be mistaken for a cable car. rising up from the floor of the valley up to the crest of the more, it's been working for almost 100 years, running on fresh air. it is it's been working for almost 100 years, running on fresh air. it is a travi years, running on fresh air. it is a gravity fed _ years, running on fresh air. it is a gravity fed aerial— years, running on fresh air. it is a gravity fed aerial ropeway. - years, running on fresh air. it is a gravity fed aerial ropeway. what. years, running on fresh air. it is al gravity fed aerial ropeway. what it is doing is the weight of the clay going down to our brickworks. the

bye bye.
