6:11 am
not be able to heat their homes at all. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. barriers have been put up along a main road in shanghai that has been a site of two days of protests against strict anti—covid rules. protestors in cities across china held up blank banners in protest at censorship and some called for president xi jinping to step down. the unrest was triggered by the deaths of ten people died in an apartment fire last week. some people are blaming covid restrictions for delaying the rescue effort. several hundred people also demonstrated outside the chinese embassy in london last night. those gathered were chanting support for the protestors in china, and laid flowers and candles in memory of the victims of the fire. meanwhile the bbc says it's extremely concerned about the treatment of one of its journalists, who was detained and assaulted while covering the protests in shanghai. ed lawrence was held for several

6:13 am
the deepest and most sudden on record here, unleashing the chaos that tore down the hills. from above, the destruction was clear with houses buried, many of them illegally built and buckling from the onslaught. what lay in its wake swept into the sea. well, this just shows the weakness of man against nature. while a crane and a whole team are needed to liftjust one vehicle, the mudslide hurled so many of them with its force. when the torrent of debris and earth came hurtling down here, little could withstand it. up the hill, the desolation deepens. a whole square under mud. desperate attempts to save what they can. we found rafaela, devastated by the destruction of her shop that rents motorbikes to tourists. translation: my son has shut himself indoors because he doesn't _ want to see any of this. he feels ill because he's seeing all of our sacrifices were worthless. i hope someone will help us.
6:14 am
i'm speechless. with rescue teams inundated, her husband and elderly father have had to step in to help clear the mud. translation: i feel destroyed for my daughter, of course. - we'll try and see if someone will help because we've worked all our lives to build this and all of a sudden it disappeared. supplies have been brought for dozens evacuated from their homes, put up in hotels. guests on their own island. larissa from ukraine has lived here for 20 years. translation: i came out shouting |to my husband that her neighboursj had lost their daughter and her baby. i was back in ukraine during the war. then i came here and our houses are destroyed and people are missing. how could this happen? then a mass to bring solace to those seeking answers in tragedy.
6:15 am
their minds turned to the moment the earth broke away and engulfed their lives. an island overwhelmed by itself. mark lowen, bbc news, ischia. the president of ukraine has said he believes russia will launch new missile attacks on his country in the coming week. in his nightly video address, volodymyr zelensky warned defence forces and citizens should be prepared to work together to withstand the consequences. let's cross now to kyiv and jess parker. we have seen these waves of attacks over the last few weeks, particularly president zelensky think they are going to keep coming. yes, and i think a lot of people across ukraine have that expectation as well. we have seen a number of missile attacks targeting ukraine's energy infrastructure. that has led to widespread power outages, people losing their water supplies as well,
6:16 am
and that is as temperatures keep going down as we head into winter. night time temperatures here in kyiv could hit as low as —7 this week. he is urging people to be prepared to look after one another and pay attention to air raid sirens. after wednesday's missile attack, they have been working frantically to try and restore power. president zelensky overnight said that in most regions, only scheduled blackouts are taking place, planned outages that people might know about to stabilise the energy system. further attacks are expected. why might russia be doing this? many people think it is to break the will of ukraine is to fight this war and drive ukrainians from the country if living conditions get too hard to other parts of europe, which could put pressure on the country there who are supplying a grain with weapon. irate who are supplying a grain with wea on. ~ .., who are supplying a grain with weaon. ~ .., , who are supplying a grain with wea-on. . , , ., ., weapon. we can see the snow on the roofto weapon. we can see the snow on the rooftop there — weapon. we can see the snow on the rooftop there for _ weapon. we can see the snow on the rooftop there for the _ weapon. we can see the snow on the rooftop there for the first _ weapon. we can see the snow on the rooftop there for the first time, - weapon. we can see the snow on the rooftop there for the first time, it - rooftop there for the first time, it is a reminder of how hard it is when
6:17 am
people cannot heat their homes. irate people cannot heat their homes. we have people cannot heat their homes. - have been talking to lots of people who have been without power and eating and water, elderly people and young families. that's partly why president zelensky is trying to get people to help each other within the communities. they have been setting up communities. they have been setting up point of refuge for people to go to when they can get warm and charge their phones because if you cannot charge your phone, you might not be able to check if your family or friends are ok following missile attack, or call for help or a non—pittance —— or an ambulance. the thing is that many of us take for granted not being taken for granted here in ukraine. business leaders in the north of england are warning rail services could "collapse into utter chaos" by january unless the government takes action. members of the northern powerhouse partnership are asking the transport secretary to address train travel in northern england, which has been severely disrupted by strikes and cancellations. the government agreed the current
6:18 am
situation was "unacceptable". our business reporter noor nanji reports. we've seen major disruption on the railways this year. business leaders from across the north of england say that's having a negative impact on the economy. they're calling for the transport secretary to act to prevent things getting worse. if many of those who worked in the department of transport down in london had to use these trains, then it would have got sorted a long time ago. it's not good enough that those in the north of england are getting a second class service. we need the investment in the long term in better connectivity, better infrastructure, but in the short term we just need to make the trains we've already got actually work. the rail operator, transpennine express, has been criticised for cancellations and reduced timetables. the northern powerhouse partnership lobby group says ministers urgently need to enable a new agreement on rest day working at the operator. transpennine express apologised to anyone who's been affected by the disruption which it blamed on staff sickness, a training backlog and infrastructure issues. the department for transport said the government is investing billions into northern transport
6:19 am
and is working closely with train operators to ensure new drivers are swiftly recruited and long term solutions are put in place so passengers can travel confidently without disruption. earlier, the transport secretary acknowledged the shortages and the impact they're having on services. it's to do with driver shortage, but it's also to do with the fact we don't have a proper seven day railway. we have days in the week where train services are completely dependent on the goodwill of people coming in to work on their day off. that isn't how you run a modern railway that people can depend on for running their daily lives. he is expected to meet labour mayors from across the north of england later this week to discuss the state of train services. noor nanji, bbc news. after arguably the most controversial series yet, the winner of itv�*s "i'm a celebrity get me out of here" has been crowned.

6:45 am
from their star players as they prepare for the game. you do not need more to get yourself up and a world cup game between england and wales. have a look at these pictures in the england pan! phil foden. mixing sports. a better basketball and football with marcus rashford. showcasing all of his talents. how about getting a bull in a basketball net? unbelievable skills from phil foden. that is what you are trying to do at this world cup, ensure you are relaxed and can switch off from the big games when the spotlight is on you as it will be �*for on you as it will be tamarraw for and wales. on you as it will be tomorrow for and wales. look at fans england and wales. look at the fans here! they continue to spring surprises. that has been one of the talking points at this world cup. i'll be going to see any more tomorrow? england and wales will hope not, won't they?

6:48 am
there will be sunshine breaking through the north of scotland, wales and into the south—east and parts of northern ireland. some brighter skies with lingering fog patches. if you keep a focal day temperatures around five, six. most of us pushing into double figures. we have high pressure which will establish itself it will set out in the north—east of the uk. the winds will rotate around that. the original high pressure pushing on across the uk keeping the weather fronts at bay. wednesday is largely dry. there will be lingering mist and fog patches. today a bit of sunshine developing in the south of england and is to scotland. you'll notice it will feel cooler than it has of late. temperatures between seven and 12. the blocking area of high pressure stays put through the second half of this week at across parts of scandinavia. the wind is coming in from an easterly
6:49 am
direction. as we had to reach the end of the week, temperatures are set to drop off. there is dry weather. we could see a bit more cloud drifting in from the east later on in the week. after the 5°99y later on in the week. after the soggy weather we have seen, things do let drier to start of december. as we face rising energy costs, today the government has announced additional measures which they hope will help people save which they hope will help people hundreds of poun rails. save hundreds of pounds on the rails. a three—year programme beginning next spring will provide loft and wall cavity insulation. how much the difference it make? —— but how much of a difference will it make? we can speak now to shadow business secretaryjonathan reynolds. surely this is a positive thing?
6:50 am
energy efficiency measures are a hugely positive thing. there is a saying that still holds true for many years, you cannot build a swedish bout to the standards of an english hand. has shown where we have fallen behind where it should be. one of the sad story since 2010 is how much energy efficiency measures tailed off. it is something we had to do to hit net zero. it does reduce bills. it has not been a good story. i welcome the government finally recognising this. it is so late. we should have been doing something like this.— something like this. many years previously- _ something like this. many years previously- we _ something like this. many years previously. we are _ something like this. many years previously. we are launching i something like this. many years previously. we are launching a l previously. we are launching a campaign about turning down a thermostat and switching of radiators they do not need. you must welcome that. in order to save a little bit of cash as we head into the coldest part of the winter. that is true. the coldest part of the winter. that is true- the — the coldest part of the winter. twat is true. the staggering number of british homes do not have a

system should apply to any initiative, any development. people should have their say on that. what we have at the minute is an entire ban on onshore wind, the cheapest form of electricity production. it makes no sense. at one point the government was saying you could have racking people were in favour of it but you could not have onshore wind. that is nonsensical. a planning regime should apply the usual way. to have a ban on onshore wind makes no sense. the minute people stop being government ministers they seem to be available to look at reason and reconsider this. to be available to look at reason and reconsiderthis. decisions to be available to look at reason and reconsider this. decisions like this, given how important they are to the future should not be hostage to the future should not be hostage to internal politics in the conservative party and he has been sacked and what they are willing to say. this is the clear and coherent approach any government has to tackling these problems. tt approach any government has to tackling these problems. h is approach any government has to tackling these problems.- tackling these problems. it is a divisive issue. _ tackling these problems. it is a divisive issue. people - tackling these problems. it is a divisive issue. people think- tackling these problems. it is a l divisive issue. people think they are final do not like the metal. what should you do to try to

past stop. it has been described as an archeological "treasure trove" — roman mosaics and buildings under a farmers field in rutland. it was first discovered during the coronavirus lockdown in 2020, but archeologists have uncovered more and more since. the location's being kept secret and it's now been covered back up to preserve it. phil mackie was given exclusive access to the dig during the summer. after a millennium and a half, a roman home has emerged from the soil. this is part of the rutland villa complex, first discovered by the landowner�*s son two years ago. last year, they started digging and found this amazing mosaic, depicting a scene from homer's iliad. nothing like it had ever been found in britain before. they also use ground penetrating radar to survey the entire field and saw many more buildings. it's divided into three rooms and each room would have had its own temperature. so this room is the what's known as the caldarium.
6:56 am
this summer, archaeologists returned and uncovered much, much more. just gobsmacked, really. i mean, this is this is not the sort of, um, survival of archaeology that we expect in a rural situation. this is complete one—off, really, i think. you know, just by finding the mosaic, as we did a couple of years ago, it's amazing. so this is one of the buildings that is part of a much larger villa complex. this is the living room here. that is the fireplace. and you can still see the charred remains of a fire that must have been lit 1,600, 1,700 years ago. and what this site does is it gives a much greater insight into life at a period about which we know very little and will give a greater understanding of what life was like in roman britain. the field is literally filled with roman rubble, roof tiles, pottery and masonry. and they found another mosaic with an intricate pattern, a way
6:57 am
for the family who owned it to show off their wealth. it's amazing. it sort of makes up for all the muddy ditches that i've spent a lot of my time in, justjust being able to work on something like this. it kind of brings you a lot closer to the people that were living here, really, you know, and you're sort of experiencing the same kind of things that they would have been looking at every day. so it really does bring it to life for you. they think the site's possibly 100 years older than previously thought, although the mosaics were added much later in the 5th century — a last blast of roman britain. phil mackie, bbc news, rutland. now you see it, now you don't. covered over again. got to be protected. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm thomas magill. police are continuing to appeal for information after a 16—year—old
6:58 am
boy was arrested on suspicion of murder, after two teenagers were fatally stabbed just a mile apart in south—east london. the attacks happened in thamesmead and abbey wood on saturday afternoon. 16—year—old kearnie solanke and charlie bartolo were found with stab wounds. detectives say they're treating the two murders as linked, but need help to piece together what happened. officers are especially keen to hear from anyone who may have seen a dark—coloured suv or axit—type vehicle with distinctive silver roof bars in the areas around sewell road or titmuss avenue in the days before and prior to the murders. i'm also interested in speaking with those who knew charlie and kearnie and might be able to offer some information or insight into these senseless killings. there's a warning that cases of flu are rising in london with hospitalisations up by a third in the last week. data from the uk health security agency shows the highest rates

7:03 am
into motor neurone disease. it comes after the death of former scotland international rugby player doddie weir, who was diagnosed with the condition in 2016. he was among a group of campaigners who helped secure the funding last year but charities say they are struggling to get hold of the cash. greg mckenzie reports. doddie weir has been described as an international force of nature. a six foot six inch tall sportsman who was just as brave off the field as he was on it. he had won 61 caps for his country. doddie weir, weir has scored. the former scotland international was diagnosed with motor neurone disease six years ago, during which time he had dedicated his life to raising awareness of the muscle wasting condition. becoming one of the world's leading mnd campaigners. we need help because at the moment there is no cure, it's a terminal illness. doddie weir's campaigning won him both awards and huge
7:04 am
affection, establishing the my name's doddie foundation. he was also part of the successful campaign to get the uk government to invest £50 million in targeted mnd research. following doddie's death, friend and fellow mnd campaigner rob burrow has criticised the government, calling for their promise to be delivered. he tweeted. .. 0ther campaigners also say the money has been too slow to materialise. his passing has galvanised the whole of the mnd community. and we're more determined than ever to deliver on doddie's legacy, a world free from mnd. in a statement, a department of health and social care spokesperson said...
7:05 am
but some experts say the process of obtaining funding needs to be simplified. i do honestly believe that there is a desire within government to get the money to us. but i don't think quite yet we have found the mechanism in the way that can happen. while tributes to doddie continue to flood social media, work to find a cure for mnd will continue. campaigners, professors and charities are due to come together tomorrow for a key meeting to discuss their plans. greg mckenzie, bbc news. this morning on the show we'll be paying tribute to doddie, speaking to his friends, former team—mates and fellow campaigners about his enormous legacy. and if you have memories of doddie

the new guidelines come after glasgow university research that showed former footballers were three—and—a—half times more likely to die from brain disease. three people have been arrested after the bodies of two babies were found at a home in bridgend, in south wales. two men and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of concealing the birth of a child. police called it a very distressing incident and are appealing for anyone with information to get in touch. an extra £1 billion will be used to insulate thousands of homes across england, scotland and wales. the government has announced a three—year programme, beginning next spring, which will provide loft and cavity wall insulation. they say it should help those who qualify save hundreds of pounds on their bills. 0ur political correspondent damian grammaticas reports. when it comes to our homes, the uk is said to have the oldest and least energy efficient housing in europe. much of it leaky old victorian

terraces, built over 100 years ago. a legacy of the industrial revolution. there is already a government scheme to get energy firms to help improve the worst homes. called eco, it's been in place for almost a decade, and is open to those in social housing or who own their own homes or rent privately and are on some benefits. it's now being expanded with another £1 billion. but only starting in spring next year and eligibility extended to those in lower council tax bands. fuel poverty campaigners say more should be done now for the most vulnerable. this scheme is not designed to reach the most vulnerable, it's designed to reach people who have not been able to benefit from previous schemes so it is intended to be a little broader than the existing government programmes but look, the exam question that we have is helping those people over the winter and into the next winter who are suffering the most from unaffordable energy prices. which is why for my organisation,
7:10 am
we believe government focus should be on the worst first, helping people in the greatest risk and greatestjeopardy, more of this money should be going to help them. if you are eligible, your energy firm will do a survey and pay for the improvements, usually low—cost insulation or upgrades to your heating. the average cost, about £1500 per home, it could cut your energy bill by a few hundred pounds a year. labour have described it as a reheated announcement with no new resources. campaigners say to really change things will cost billions more. this winter, the government is now planning to spend £18 million on more public information about how to reduce energy usage, including advice to turn down the temperature of your boiler, turn off radiators when you're not using the room, and seal drafts from windows and doors. many worry that the biggest concern should be for those who won't be

able to heat their homes at all. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. barriers have been put up along a main road in shanghai that has been a site of two days of protests against strict anti—covid rules. protestors in cities across china held up blank banners in protest at censorship and some called for president xi jinping to step down. the unrest was triggered by the deaths of ten people who died in an apartment fire last week. some people are blaming covid restrictions for delaying the rescue effort. meanwhile the bbc says it's extremely concerned about the treatment of one of its journalists, who was detained and assaulted while covering the protests in shanghai. ed lawrence was held for several hours before being released. the bbc says he was beaten by police. several hundred people also demonstrated outside the chinese embassy in london last night. those gathered were chanting support for the protestors in china, and laid flowers and candles in memory of the

7:16 am
the price for a litre of petrol peaked at more than £1.90 in the summer — with diesel even higher at around £1.98. average prices have come down a lot since then. but should they have dropped even more? the wholesale cost of a litre of unleaded — that's what shops are buying it in for — has now fallen by 13 pence. but the average supermarket price you pay has reduced by only apence. what about diesel? the wholesale cost for a litre has dropped by 22 pence since the start of october. but the price at the pump has fallen by only 3 pence per litre. if you're a diesel driver you'll notice that gap between petrol and diesel now bigger than it's ever been. the rac says we are paying artificially high prices as supermarkets fail to pass on savings. it estimates that some are making 15p per litre. the biggest margins they've ever seen.
7:17 am
we really think here at the rac it is a chilly verging on something related to a scandal at the moment. we are going into a really expensive time for households up and down the country, drivers are paying more and more and we are saying to the big retailers, particularly the big supermarkets, what reason do you have keeping prices as high as you are? we would understand it if wholesale prices had onlyjust started to dip, we would understand because retailers need to buy fresh stock in an obviously only once they have done that are they going to reduce prices for drivers but we have seen week upon week of falling wholesale prices and retail prices have barely moved. we spoke to the british retail consortium — which represents supermarkets. it told us that retailers were doing everything they can to offer the best value for money on their forecourts. it also told us that supermarket fuel prices do remain lower than other retailers. but businesses relying on fuel say
7:18 am
prices need to come down. the increase in fuel prices is affecting the coach industry quite significantly. a lot of the coach operators have had to pass that increase onto their customers, which increase onto their customers, which in some cases, if it is people hiring a coach for example, they have had to experience an increase in the cost of the coach hire. we contacted tesco, morrisons, sainsburys and asda to put the rac claims to them, and didn't receive a reply. there is always a lag when wholesale prices come down, to reach the forecourt but the rac is making is it has been eight weeks at the trickle of prices coming down has not happened fast enough. and if you use a bus or you are buying a product that needs to travel on the road, if you hire in a labourer, they are all using fuel and all absorbing this commensal increase in

the thigh bone proves to be eight feet, 2.4 metres long. it's preserved in extraordinary detail, and detail will be critical to the forensic examination that will follow. the research team soon turn the site into a vast quarry. it proves to be one of the biggest dinosaur finds of the century. bone after bone emerge from the rocks.

7:23 am
the body becomes quite complicated. so when you get an animal weighing in at 50, 60, or potentially 70 towns, and just getting it as a living organism, it's basically a moving house. so to understand how that would have functioned, and even just to study its bones, you can understand so much about this creature. it might give us clues as to building new engineering materials for today, because we can learn from their bones. that one of the process of natural selection, revolution, has found solutions to some of these really quite complicated problems —— evolution. despite the fact that it is so enormous, i'm not familiar with the name patagotitan, you know tyrannosaurus and triceratops, why don't we know about this huge thing? in a macro it is the elephant in the room, orthe in a macro it is the elephant in the room, or the dinosaur in the room! how many elephants, nine? tao room, or the dinosaur in the room! how many elephants, nine? too many

travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill. police are continuing to appeal for information after a 16—year—old boy was arrested on suspicion of murder, after two teenagers were fatally stabbed just a mile apart in south—east london. the attacks happened in thamesmead and abbeywood on saturday afternoon. 16—year—old kearnie solanke and charlie bartolo were found with stab wounds. detectives say they're treating the two murders as linked, but need help to piece together what happened. officers are especially keen to hear from anyone who may have seen a dark—coloured suv or 4x4—type vehicle with distinctive silver roof bars in the areas around sewell road or titmuss avenue in the days before and prior to the murders. i'm also interested in speaking with those who knew charlie and kearnie and might be able to offer some information or insight into these senseless killings. there's a warning that cases of flu are rising in london

into the afternoon. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. this morning on breakfast we're remembering the life and legacy of doddie weir, the rugby star and motor neuron disease campaigner who died over the weekend at the age of 52. during his early playing career, doddie spent six years at melrose rfc and this morning john maguire has visited the grounds to get a sense of the impact doddie had on the club and community. good morning, john. he is part of the fabric of that place, isn't he?

personality, his drive, his charisma, he had something better. one thing that doddie would want us to do is to have a laugh. he would want us to have a laugh and that is what we will do. his character was amazing. he was larger—than—life. people use the word, legend, a lot. he was definitely a legend. everything he did, the impact was strong. he did not want to leave life without an impact. he has done that. his family, they had been amazing. they had been through a lot, as you can imagine. their strength has been phenomenal. we saw him two weeks ago. he went to his house. spent the day with him. there was a twinkle in his eye. he was
7:36 am
full of laughter. it is all about laughing. sometimes they said he was not serious enough. he got the balance right. give me one story, one thing you are thinking about since we knew we lost him. his kindness, how he would always put somebody else first. he was a guy who, if you needed to find someone who, if you needed to find someone who needed help, he was who he would phone because he would turn up and help you. he was a hard man when he played. i was playing melrose and i was on the wing. i was obviously quicker than doddie he came in straight punching in the head and said he will not do that again. in the days you could punch somebody in
7:37 am
the days you could punch somebody in the head. now you would be sent off. he just was a character. he would be getting from tackle and falling over again. always looking at these edges. just a lovable character. i was lucky. i think i got on with him really well because i was a farmer. my really well because i was a farmer. my first scotland trip was at 19. i was scared about going away with the scotland team. doddie said to me, one day, he said to me after a game i did not kick very well and i was very upset because we lost against england. he said to me, he put a smile on my face, when abs wanted to do it. you are brave enough to put your hand up. he made me feel good even when you are feeling down. that is the character of the man. missed but never forgotten. thank you for

7:41 am
they include better insulation and an information campaign to encourage people to reduce how much gas and electricity they use. but how much of a difference will it make? we can speak now to the energy secretary grant shapps. good morning to you. good morning. it is a lot good morning to you. good morning. it is a lot of— good morning to you. good morning. it is a lot of money, _ good morning to you. good morning. it is a lot of money, potentially, i it is a lot of money, potentially, going for the insulation campaign to keep people's houses one. it does not start till next spring, does it? had he done it sooner people would be warmer this winter. this had he done it sooner people would be warmer this winter.— be warmer this winter. this is the latest in a — be warmer this winter. this is the latest in a whole _ be warmer this winter. this is the latest in a whole string _ be warmer this winter. this is the latest in a whole string of - be warmer this winter. this is the i latest in a whole string of schemes. we have spent into pounds in improving millions of home so far. this is a scheme for people who have left out thus far because their homes have not qualified. it will be open to everybody regardless of whether you live in private rented or own your own home. it is designed for you to be able to take measures
7:42 am
to improve your home if your energy certificate is d or worse. those measures could save you £300 a year. some questioning whether that is the right approach. we have heard from adam from the national energy action charity. he says opening up to everybody is nice but some people are particularly vulnerable he will not be targeted. you should be doing more to help people whose homes need it the most. this more to help people whose homes need it the most. . ,. more to help people whose homes need it the most. , ,. , it the most. this scheme is called e k+. it is it the most. this scheme is called e k+- it is the — it the most. this scheme is called e k+. it is the latest _ it the most. this scheme is called e k+. it is the latest in _ it the most. this scheme is called e k+. it is the latest in a _ it the most. this scheme is called e k+. it is the latest in a string i it the most. this scheme is called e k+. it is the latest in a string of- k+. it is the latest in a string of schemes. all the schemes until now have been focused on exactly people like were mentioned, people who are perhaps most vulnerable in most in need. what we recognise is any gap for people whose homes are poorly insulated but are not in any of the above—mentioned groups. as i say, add a 6.5 billion has been spent on
7:43 am
those groups. this money is to get to the next chunk of people. that is why think it is important to do this because a lot of money is to be saved by better insulation and the like. in addition, as you mention, also announcing today a campaign to better inform people about how to save money on energy bills. one of the tips alone i found to be an issue with my boiler, something called the boiler flow rate. it is about turning down the flow rate of about turning down the flow rate of a boiler and can save chunks of money. you didn't realise that? i have seen it mentioned before. it is about turning the flow rate down. down to 60 degrees. it makes no difference at all to the temperature in your house when it gets to radiators. radiators were still do
7:44 am
the same thing but will save you 100 quid straight off the bat. it is worthwhile. those sorts of things we will let people know about. in addition to the tens of billions of pounds the government is spending to support people's energy bills which otherwise would be very significantly higher this winter. part of the solution as using maureen usable energy, wind power. rishi sunak is keen to see that. some conservative backbenchers are keen to see the planning laws changed and have more wind farms. festival. both the prime minister and myself will be said with onshore wednesbury it needs to be done with local consent. secondly, from what i have seen of that amendment. i have
7:45 am
not studied the ramifications yet. looks to me the amendment itself is designed to make sure it is done with local consent. no great distance between anyone on this. nowadays, the cheapest form of electricity is offshore wind. this country produces more offshore went than any other in the world. over half the entire country energy requirement came from offshore wind. these could not be built on land. they are so giant you could not transport them. what we need is a full energy mix, notjust win. i will be talking more about that later this week. making sure we have energy security and energy independence for the united kingdom. the type of fuel, the fuel our

be disgusted about how someone is able to use a light entertainment show to rehabilitate the image. with regard to matt hancock sang about dyslexia on tv. casually mentioning it as a show does not suffice. talk about how it can be beneficial for workplaces, how there are many different forms. it is different for different forms. it is different for different people who have it. it is not about writing language, it is about expression. brilliant writers are dyslexic. casually mentioning it in an entertainment show does nothing. you have to talk about benefits it can bring. i do not think matt hancock did that. there is editing in shows. you do not always have freedom to say what you want. using it to get onto an entertainment show is not right. you are out of time. _

8:02 am
pledge to fund research into motor neurone disease. it comes after the death this weekend of former scotland international rugby player doddie weir. he was diagnosed with the condition in 2016, and was a leading fundraiser for mnd charities. graham satchell has been looking back on his life. doddie weir was a scottish rugby legend, a warrior on the pitch. commentator: when he goes like that he is a mad _ giraffe with great skills. he was capped 61 times for his country. when he retired from rugby, doddie went back to the family farm. in 2016, he noticed something was wrong. he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease a year later. someone has put this card into my hand. with that i will try to make a difference. any parent who is worried about the future. the kids, i have three
8:03 am
young boys, 16 and 13. you always want to try to grow up with them if you can. that is a worry. i will be ok in five minutes. i will be ok. crack on. doddie started a charity. his foundation has raised almost £10 million to find a cure for mnd. on this programme, we have followed his story, as he teamed up with other sports stars living with the condition, stephen darby, rob burrow. it is a muscle wasting disease. in the later life of mnd, it is horrific because you need help everywhere. the muscles in your leg disappear, so you can't walk. you cannot eat and the muscles in your speech disappeared. you cannot swallow or breathe. it is horrific what happens. it was doddie's sense
8:04 am
of humour that shone through. this is your chance, any accent you want. for services to rugby and services to the community and the scottish borders. he received an obe from the queen. he was given the helen rollason award at the bbc sport personality of the year. it is quite ironic being a scottish rugby player in the '90s, this is the closest i have ever got to a trophy, so it is very nice. applause. just two weeks ago, doddie was at murrayfield as kevin sinfield started his ultramarathon epic challenge.
8:05 am
alongside him, jim maxwell who also has mnd. i remember doddie as an absolute giant, a giant in the sport and a giant for all of us in the mnd community. he spoke for us, on behalf of us and for us and we will love him forever. dearest doddie, i am sorry to hear you have gone too soon. before i met you, i was lost in my diagnosis and felt sorry for myself, felt like my world was over. you told me to challenge everything and never give in. from that day changed my world. you changed my outlook on my life going _ you changed my outlook on my life going forward. you made me feel happy and positive, you made me see how you can still get on with life regardless of mnd.
8:06 am
you showed me the way to live. i will be forever grateful. i will keep you in my thoughts and i will never give in, i will fly the flag for you. do i start wearing tartan? that is the question. rest in peace. commentator: doddie weir, one of scottish rugby's favourite sons... - when he announced his diagnosis in 2017, he took to the pitch with his three sons. he delivered the match ball as scotland faced the all blacks. two weeks ago, he was back at murrayfield, again with his sons. again the crowd stood as one. it was his last public appearance. he remained to the very end a giant of a man. doddie weir, who died on saturday. we can speak now to two people who got to know doddie

through his campaigning for motor neurone disease research. former leeds rhinos player, kevin sinfield has raised millions of pounds for the mnd association through a series of extreme challenges. also joining us from new south wales in australia is ed slater, who announced his retirement from professional rugby earlier this year after being diagnosed with mnd. thank you both very much indeed for talking to us this morning. if i can come to you first, ed, it's great to see you, thank you for talking to us. i know this is not going to be an easy interview for you to do. i will ask you first of all, what doddie meant to you, how important he has been for you over the last few months. he has been for you over the last few months-— he has been for you over the last few months. , ., ., ., few months. doddie is a hero, to me, to a lot of people. _ few months. doddie is a hero, to me, to a lot of people. and, _ few months. doddie is a hero, to me, to a lot of people. and, you _ few months. doddie is a hero, to me, to a lot of people. and, you know, . to a lot of people. and, you know, him and his foundation where one of the first people to reach out and

8:12 am
but i had an inkling that he was going to be there, no behold he was there with a smile on his face. it must�*ve been a struggle to get up and get there and it must have been tough on cathy to get him there. but he was a stubborn guy, he said he was going to do something he did it, and it meant a great deal the team. looking back now, it's really important moment for all of us because it's the last time i got to look him in the eyes, but also, i think he showed the whole mnd community, just by turning up that day, what he thought of everybody. he was such an unselfish man. doddie's foundation raised millions for mnd research, a couple of weeks ago you have just raised more for mnd research, a couple of weeks ago you havejust raised more money, kev. i know a lot of people in the mnd community are saying that this is a moment to put pressure on the government to make the funding which

kevin, _ get something to cure this disease. kevin, your— get something to cure this disease. kevin, your challenges have been raising millions of pounds for motor neurone research and to build a special hospital that will have rob burrow�*s name on it, and money will go to families. how frustrating is it to be doing all of this with your amazing support team and still be waiting on that £50 million from the government? we waiting on that £50 million from the government?— government? we will still be doing it regardless. _ government? we will still be doing it regardless, 50 _ government? we will still be doing it regardless, 50 million _ government? we will still be doing it regardless, 50 million isn't - it regardless, 50 million isn't enough. it is for pure research. so that human side, providing technology for the guys who are diagnosed, providing counselling services, a 24—hour helpline for the mnd community is so important. the softer side of the disease. the most important thing for someone who is diagnosed is time and they are running out of time. i can't see any excuse or reason when that money is
8:15 am
being held back. there is one of my own mind. because these people are running out of time. if we are going to help make a difference and shift the dial on this disease, that money needs to be available sooner rather than later. i understand red tape and bureaucracy but ijust don't see and bureaucracy but ijust don't see a valid reason at this point. that money has to come. if you look at what our government have spent over the last two or three years in particular on covid, this is a drip in the ocean for it. that money is there and we want to provide hope and a future for this community at the minute. i don't understand it. before we let you both go, just checkin before we let you both go, just check in with ed, how are you doing, ed? it has been a few weeks since we last i do here in studio, how are you feeling?— last i do here in studio, how are you feeling? i'm ok, thanks, jon. eve da you feeling? i'm ok, thanks, jon. everyday has _ you feeling? i'm ok, thanks, jon. everyday has its _ you feeling? i'm ok, thanks, jon. everyday has its challenges, - you feeling? i'm ok, thanks, jon. i everyday has its challenges, whether is physical— everyday has its challenges, whether is physical or mental. i have been

supermarkets are being accused of "taking advantage" of drivers by charging "far higher" fuel prices than they should be. the rac say the uk's biggest fuel retailers are refusing to lower their pump prices despite a drop in wholesale costs. and supermarkets' profit margins are around 15p per litre for petrol and diesel. the business secretary grant shapps says he's looking into the issue. i have been speaking to the competitions market authority, who did some very good work on this recently, to show that not all of the savings were being passed on potentially from the refineries as well. i saw that story, i will be asking them to go back on this, i will be putting pressure on the retailers and the supermarket as you mentioned to make sure those savings are passed on. i also appeal to the public, to motorists, to make sure you do hold them to account. it can

suspicion of murder after the fatal stabbing of two teenagers in london. the deaths of the teenagers a mile apart were linked, according to police. police say the victim's families are being supported by specialist officers. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill. police are continuing to appeal for information after a i6—year—old boy was arrested on suspicion of murder, after two teenagers were fatally stabbed just a mile apart in south—east london. the attacks happened in thamesmead and abbeywood on saturday afternoon. i6—year—old kearnie solanke and charlie bartolo were found with stab wounds. detectives say they're treating the two murders as linked, but need help to piece together what happened.
8:30 am
officers are especially keen to hear from anyone who may have seen a dark—coloured suv or axa—type vehicle with distinctive silver roof bars in the areas around sewell road or titmuss avenue in the days before and prior to the murders. i'm also interested in speaking with those who knew charlie and kearnie and might be able to offer some information or insight into these senseless killings. there's a warning that cases of flu are rising in london with hospitalisations up by a third in the last week. data from the uk health security agency shows the highest rates are among five to ia year olds. health experts say vaccines are the best protection and are urging more people to get a flu jab. let's take a look at how the tube is moving this morning. there's no service between stonebridge park and harrow & wealdstone on the bakerloo line. minor delays on the central line between white city and ealing

8:32 am
through the morning. some areas of cloud, but also some brighter spells here and there too. watch out for a few showers, especially later on this afternoon. they'll be moving in from the south, but not everywhere will see them. top temperatures already a drop there between 9 and 11 degrees celsius. and then overnight tonight, there will be some long clear spells around. it's going to be feeling colder than it was last night. it should stay largely dry, but there will be more mist and fog developing into tomorrow morning, and that will be very slow to lift and clear through the morning. it's a colder, mostly dry day, but it will be quite murky. the cloud set to persist into the afternoon. that's it from me. much more on our website and on bbc radio london i'll be back in an hour but for now its back to sally and john. good morning and welcome to breakfast withjon and sally. we're on bbc one until 9:15am this morning. then it's time for morning live with gethin and janette. let's see what they've got coming
