good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and sarah campbell. our headlines today. police continue their hunt for daniel khalife, a former soldier accused of terrorism, who escaped from wandsworth prison by clinging to a delivery van. no apparent information on the manhunt overnight, but some big questions this morning for the prison service. how exactly did this happen? where exactly is their escaped prisoner? a bbc investigation finds that dozens of autistic young people in england and wales have died after serious failings in care, despite repeated warnings.

it is the start of a new era in ellesmere port today. good morning from the vauxhall plant where this is set to be the first electric van to roll off the production line. good morning. how hot is too hot? former champion danil medvedev says it's becoming dangerous for the players as they deal with rising temperatures at the us open. good morning from a very inviting charlton lino in east london. the forecast today is another muggy one. it is going to be very warm or hot. a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine, but the risk of thunderstorms in the west. details later. good morning. it's thursday, the 7th of september. our main story. a hunt is continuing for a suspected terrorist, who escaped from wandsworth prison in london by clinging to the underside of a food delivery van.

daniel khalife escaped in a chef's uniform yesterday morning. the justice secretary has ordered an urgent investigation into what happened. our reporter simonjones has more. currently britain's most wanted man. the hunt for daniel khalife, facing serious charges of threats to the state, is being described as urgent and extensive. despite all the security that should have been in place here at wandsworth prison, the former soldier managed to escape from the jail�*s kitchen by strapping himself to the bottom of a food—delivery van. he was wearing his distinctive chef's uniform. he could be anywhere in the country at the moment and, yes, of course we're mindful of the risk of him potentially leaving the country. we're focusing our efforts in london at the moment. so we have counter—terrorism officers now deployed across london, working with colleagues from across the metropolitan police and our partner agencies to try and find him here. he has connections to the north west of the country, so we are also working with colleagues all around the country. the hunt for daniel khalife extended to the borders, too —

additional security checks at airports and ports led to long queues forming for passengers. daniel khalifejoined the army in 2019. three years later, he became the subject of a counter—terrorism investigation. he's accused on the 2nd of january this year of planting fake bombs at the barracks in stafford, where he was based. he was arrested later that month. the charges he face include preparing an act of terrorism, and collecting information that might be useful to terrorists or enemies of the uk. wandsworth is a category b reception and resettlement prison, so it's not an obvious place for somebody who's been charged under terrorism offences, who is a potential national security risk. the justice secretary, alex chalk, has echoed those concerns, demanding an urgent investigation by the prison service into why daniel khalife wasn't being held in a high—security category a jail. but labour says the government itself has explaining to do. we know that there are huge

problems with prisons, and prison places in particular. and, as we've seen, there is now a terror suspect on the loose, having escaped from wandsworth prison. so big questions for the government to answer. in a statement, the prison service said... the police say although they don't believe daniel khalife poses a threat to the wider public, anyone who sees him should call 999 immediately. simon jones, bbc news. simonjonesjoins us now from wandsworth prison. simon, howard davies happen and where is daniel khalife? lots of people looking for him now. —— how did this happen?

people looking for him now. -- how did this happen?— did this happen? yes, this morning to ma'or did this happen? yes, this morning to major investigations _ did this happen? yes, this morning to major investigations are - did this happen? yes, this morning to major investigations are under. to major investigations are under way. the first and the most urgent is the manhunt to try to find him. he has been missing for almost 2a hours, but no apparent breakthrough. it is thought he managed to escape from the prison just before eight o'clock yesterday morning. now in terms of that investigation we have seen officers combing the area around here. but they say is also a nationwide search. now in terms of what happened, initially this was kept quiet. but after the police didn't make any progress within the initial hours, they decided to go public with their appeal for information and, of course, when daniel khalife left the gel he would have been dressed in his prison issue chef's uniform. —— left the prison. the other major investigation involves how exactly this could have happened. it almost sounds like —— like something out of a film, a prisoner bringing to the

bottom of a van. in theory, any prisoner coming or going from this prison, should undergo rigorous security checks. the question is, did this actually happen? that is why the justice secretary held did this actually happen? that is why thejustice secretary held an urgent meeting with the governor of the prison and other members of the prison service staff. but for the government faces embarrassing and they will be hoping for a quick resolution to this today. simon, thank yom _ resolution to this today. simon, thank yom at — resolution to this today. simon, thank you. at half _ resolution to this today. simon, thank you. at half past - resolution to this today. simon, thank you. at half past we - resolution to this today. simon, thank you. at half past we will. resolution to this today. simon, | thank you. at half past we will be talking to a former inmate at wandsworth prison who can give us his view on how he thinks this can possibly have happened. but for now, let's look at the rest of the news with charlie. thank you very much. it's expected to be confirmed this morning that the uk is rejoining the eu's flagship scientific research programme. the membership was lost during post—brexit negotiations. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminster.

two questions. remind people what it is and why it is so valuable? and why are we back in now, potentially? so, horizon is a vast cross european research grant programme. it is up to £80 billion of funding for scientists. before brexit british scientists. before brexit british scientists used to get a lot of those grants. intensifying particularly in recent months we have had research institution after research institution in the uk saying that because of brexit, because the uk had left this programme, theyjust can't get access to the same level of funding. what's interesting is that actually in the original brexit agreement that the uk and the eu signed, the uk was going to stay part of this programme. but itjust became collateral in that long running row which we heard lots about, about northern ireland's pro brexit trading arrangements. that all changed in february of this year, when rishi sunak and ursula von der

leyen, president of the european commission, agreed on the windsor framework, designed to solve the northern ireland impasse. interestingly, doesn't seem to have solved it. northern ireland power—sharing is still off the table, the parties disagree about a lot of things. but one thing it did sell was the problem of trust between the uk government and the european commission. i think this is the first sign of an improved relationship. we'll find out later this morning if we've justy experienced the hottest september night on record for the uk. temperatures reached 32 degrees in london yesterday, and they're expected to hit 33 degrees on saturday. scotland, wales, northern england and northern ireland will also have a warm weekend, but with temperatures peaking around 25 degrees. we will update you on that throughout the morning. president zelensky has condemned a russian attack in eastern ukraine, which killed at least 17 people,

including a child, and injured 33 others. he described the attack, which took place yesterday in kostyantynivka as "brazen wickedness". a review into the way vets charge for their services has been launched by the competition and markets authority. it will look into the cost of treatments, fees for emergency care, and whether they're giving customers enough information. it will also investigate how practice mergers have affected the sector. a piano used by freddie mercury to compose some of queen's biggest hits has been sold at auction for £1.7 million. bohemian rhapsody, killer queen and don't stop me now were among the songs he wrote at the yamaha baby grand, which he kept in his london home. hundreds of other personal items went under the hammer, including stage costumes, a collection of kimonos and a moustache comb.

intricate little thing. a turtle who was rescued in north wales after being swept across the atlantic, is now back in her native waters, 4,000 miles away. last week we told you how tally the turtle, who was named after talacre beach, near prestatyn, where she was found by a dog walker nearly two years ago, had been flown back to a zoo in texas. it isa it is a long journey. she's now been released back into the warm waters of the gulf of mexico, after being deemed strong enough to survive in the wild. the news was welcomed by the raf, which had helped to transport her. that is the actual picture of the departure. back in the water. the ri . ht departure. back in the water. the right result- _ departure. back in the water. tue: right result. definitely. departure. back in the water. tte: right result. definitely. talking about warm waters, it was another

days some parts of the country will see 30 degrees, orjust above. not all of us. what we have this morning thatis all of us. what we have this morning that is once again a lot of low cloud, mist and fog across eastern scotland, eastern england. that will slowly burn back to the coast. some of it might stake here and there. we have also got some showers, some heavy and thundery ones, towards the west. they will be putting northwards as we go through the course of the day. in between, a lot of dry, sunny and warm weather. temperatures are widely the made to the high 20s. locally in the south—east, 30, 3i, possibly 32 celsius. this evening and overnight we see a return to the low cloud or mist and fog coming into eastern areas. we see the showers continue to push northwards in the west. in between, some clear skies. it is going to be a muggy night. 0vernight lows of 12 to 17 degrees. tomorrow, once again, we start with the low cloud or mist and fog in eastern areas. it will slowly burn back to the coast. you might find the odd

pocket that sticks. still some showers coming up. in between, dry, muqqy showers coming up. in between, dry, muggy and sunny and very warm or hot. the temperatures are still widely into the 20s and locally into the 30s. it is not until we get to the 30s. it is not until we get to the weekend that we start to see the weather cooled down in scotland and northern ireland, with some showers, but it will still be dry, sunny, very warm or hot across parts of england and wales. thank you. the government has finally published an official list of 147 schools in england it says have crumbling concrete. the department for education says nearly 3000 pupils are going back to fully remote learning while a further 22,000 will do a mix of remote and face—to—face learning. frances read has been looking at the situation in different schools across the uk. first day of secondary school in north london, and 300 pupils are being taught in temporary classrooms

after concerns about raac. 15 classrooms have been out of commission since february, because of fears the roof could collapse. it's made of the now known to be weakened concrete, which safety experts say has exceeded its usable life span. temporary classrooms have been put in for the start of term, but not everyone's had the same amount of notice. a few miles away in harrow, some kids are in the classrooms. parents say some remote learning is also being used here to bridge the gap. it's a bit of both. i mean, they have some online material that they can access. i thought they were going to go in next week, actually, because of this, the situation. so far, the department for education says 19 schools in england have had to delay the start of term. 70% of schools impacted by raac are open for face to face learning, but there are four in which they've had to do remote learning instead, and it raises questions about whether this all could have been avoided.

in the commons yesterday, what some have called a blame game — criticisms of labour's original school rebuilding plans, and criticisms aimed at conservatives for scrapping them. the prime minister also underfire for his financial decisions while chancellor. in scotland, more than 30 schools have been identified so far, with at least two in wales as well. buildings in northern ireland also currently undergoing urgent checks. it's possible the tally of affected schools could rise in the coming weeks. no official record of where raac was used was ever made. children, just some of those now dealing with the consequences. frances read, bbc news. 6:15am. dozens of young autistic people have died after serious care failings, despite repeated warnings from coroners, bbc news has found. an investigation revealed more than 50 cases where health and social care authorities across england and wales were told to take action to

prevent future deaths. it also found that issues flagged a decade ago are still being warned about now. 0ur reporter ruth clegg has been following the stories of two young autistic women. i'm saffron. and i have, um, a lot of problems, but that's not all about. i love rainbows, i love the colour yellow, and i really want to help people. this is saffie. we've been chatting for over six months now. we chat via video call, video message, like the one that you've seen here. she's autistic, she's bold, and she's ambitious. but she's also been in and out of mental health units for the past nine years. i mean, hospital, like, really sucks. i've been sectioned. there's been a lot of stress, and, um,it�*s hard, but i'm going to get through this and things are going to get better, or, i don't know, that's really it. saffie took thisjust a few months ago. she was at a low ebb and her weight was dangerously low.

she was being treated in a hospital on a general ward, because there were no specialist beds available. saffie's got an eating disorder linked to her autism, and she says she's never really got the help she so desperately needs. they didn't tackle the root of my disorder, which was not body image concern. for me, it was all bound up in sensory issues and rituals and rules, and keeping things the same. i wasn't allowed headphones at the table to cut out noise, being limited to three dislikes, despite all my sensory issues. i can't... i don't want to sound as if i'm complaining, but i'm very sensitive to things. every sense is very important to me. everything is amplified for me. during her latest admission, an independent panel reviewed saffie's care. they said staff did not fully understand her autism. every time saffie is admitted into hospital, her mum fears the worst.

on each occasion she came out, partly weight—restored, however damaged, traumatised, and her mental state got worse each time. 200 miles away, i meet another mum who knows that fear only too well. here's zoe's bedroom. we've got all the gymnastics pictures and the _ cheerleading pictures. jean has kept zoe's bedroom exactly the same since she died three years ago. zoe were just an amazing, articulate person, - and she really- wanted to help people. but she just had so much to give this world. - zoe had been misdiagnosed as having a personality disorder. her mental health, which was already pretty fragile, began to go downhill. nobody listened to zoe - and they wouldn't listen to me. and zoe was just so desperate. ijust don't understand | why there is such a lack of understanding of autism. zoe just said, "i'm too tired. i can't fight any more. - "i can't fight. "the only way i can see to get rid

of this diagnosis is to die." - zoe took her own life injune 2020. after her inquest, the coroner warned that a lack of understanding autism contributed to her death. he called for immediate action on a local and national level. and we have discovered that zoe is one of many. our investigation found that dozens of young autistic people have died following serious failings in their care, despite the repeated warnings from coroners. this is happening on a huge scale, and what we see is a story of systemic failure. so from the moment that an autistic person is born, they're late to get diagnosed, and then there's no actual plan for providing that rate support from day one, which means that they're more likely to go on to experience mental health issues, the increased likelihood of ending up in places like inpatient care, and, tragically, experiencing health problems and potentially

dying earlier than you would see in the general population. the government says autism training is being rolled out and its spending over £4 million improving services. despite experiencing those very failings, saffie is home and is determined to get better. i don't know who i would be without units, and because of all these experiences, i want to help other people. i want to get the world understanding what it's like being autistic. she's now training to be a mental health nurse and says she is determined to protect other young people from life in a system that struggles to understand autism. ruth clegg, bbc news. if you've been affected by any of the issues mentioned in that report, there's help on the bbc website. visit bbc.co.uk/actionline.

at ten past eight or this morning we will be discussing issues raised in that report. do let us know any comments you would like to include. that is just after comments you would like to include. that isjust after eight comments you would like to include. that is just after eight o'clock. let's take a look at today's papers. "total fa rce" are the words the sun uses to describe daniel khalife's escape from wandsworth prison. the paper has spoken to former metropolitan police commanderjohn o'connor, who refers to incident as "a d' | sgrace" the i is reporting that relief may be on the way for millions of people with mortgages. the governor of the bank of england has reportedly told mps the economy has improved, despite forecasts that interest rates will rise for the 15th time this month. the times front page features a story about home tech. the paper claims gadgets, including smart washing machines, are spying on people at home. what?! that is a bit of a worry, isn't it? a little bit xxx!

and on the front of the guardian, an image of the rolling stones, after they officially announced their first album of new songs in 18 years. take a look at this photo of japan's h2a rocket launching from the tanegashima space centre. the rocket is carrying a precision moon sniper, and isn't expected to touch down for around four to six months. i think they are going to have to get some air traffic control sorted for the moon soon. there are so many things taking off and landing there. that is a dramatic picture. a dramatic launch environment. sticking out into the water like that. it is rather beautiful, isn't it? i remembera few that. it is rather beautiful, isn't it? i remember a few years ago going to florida to watch one of the shuttle is launching, and you have to stand miles away because there is a huge... you have to be a long way away because they get quite hot! it is a good job you are here, isn't it?! a couple of stories on the inside. this struck me only because i have been shamed by my children

quite recently. despite the popularity of cooking shows, begging showers, only a quarter of us, 24%, are actually confident to make a decent cake. —— baking shows. personal expenses what? you know how children quite often like you to bake them a birthday cake, my pair —— my children have said this week, can you please go to the to buy as one? the last one was such a disaster. at least they are being honest. —— go to the supermarket. yes. baking is not my thing. it is genuinely quite awkward, isn't it? anyway, let's move on. time now for a story of resilience and hope in yemen's civil war, which has been grinding on for nearly a decade, although a temporary ceasefire, in place since last year, has reduced some of the violence. two years ago, our correspondent 0rla guerin met an extraordinary nine—year—old boy, ahmed, who refused to let the destruction of his school

bring an end to his education. now she's returned to his home to see how he's getting on. smiling through. this is ahmed rageeb. he's 11 years old and he doesn't let much get in his way. he's heading to the river to get water, a daily ritual. life was tough here, even before the war. but ahmed is a fighter. he's been blind from birth, along with four of his siblings. we've come back to meet him at his home near a front line. "it's very scary," he tells me. "we're afraid of gunshots. "when fighting starts, we can't go to the park

or the valley or anywhere." when was the last time you heard fighting and explosions? "last night," he says. for ahmed, school has always been a refuge of sorts. this was our first glimpse of him injanuary 2021, leading morning assembly at al wahda primary. it was bombed by the saudi—led coalition when it was occupied by houthi forces. ahmed was leading the class atjust nine years old. he had a wish list of repairs for the school, and viewers responded, thanks to him. so this is the new school. much has changed. stairs, ahmed. a yemeni donorfunded a new block, and a british charity refurbished classrooms.

saudi arabia, after years of bombing yemen, is building another school nearby. ahmed is pleased with the results, and has plenty of big plans. "i want to be a teacher, pilot, engineer, driver, ora doctor." do you think you'll be able to do all these things? "sure, i'll do everything. "and i'll marry a beautiful city girl, and she'll make me biscuits. "the girls here in the village don't know how to make good biscuits." back at the river, ahmed has a few moments of fun. but childhood in yemen is short. he is full of hope, full of promise, and he has already overcome so much. but he is still a child of war. 0rla guerin, bbc news, taiz.

amazing story. 6:27am. coming up on today's breakfast.... have you ever felt stung by a vets' bill? the competition and markets authority is concerned that some vets are not giving their customers the best deals, or the full picture about the final price they'll have to pay. here's the kind of thing they mean. shelly�*s dog loki developed a limp and she was told he'd need x—rays, which would cost a couple of hundred pounds. the final bill, including painkillers, was £485. the breakdown showed me sort of everything, and i was quite shocked atjust how extortionate some of these prices are. but the biggest bulk, i would say, of that charge was the anaesthetic alone. the painkiller charge was ridiculous. and ifound out after this incident

that you can actually buy the painkillers elsewhere by prescription, which is cheaper than going directly through the vet, but we wasn't told that at the time either. so, it was just taken at face value and i paid what i paid. something tells me a lot of people will be having similar thoughts about bills they have had to pay. it's the kind of thing you do. if something wrong. if you've got a story about what you were charged by a vet, good or bad, drop us a line. you can get in touch on whatsapp — the number is on screen now or you can scan the qr code to start a chat. you can still get in touch with us by email, and on x as well. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

a very good morning. welcome to bbc london, i'm thomas magill. a woman, who was left unconscious after being punched by a masked stranger in south east london, says the metropolitan police have not taken her attack seriously. the woman, who has asked to be known as anna, says she was assaulted in gipsy hill injuly and since the incident the met has been poor at communicating. now, she says her partner has resorted to making door—to—door inquiries himself. ifeel like it's been up to me and my family and friends to help solve this crime. i think because i was attacked and because i wasn't raped or killed, i don't think they're taking it that seriously. i'm just scared this man is going to do it again. and it is going to have more sinister consequences if he is not arrested. the met says it appears communication with the victim has been disjointed and slow at times. it says an investigation is ongoing and that it is taking the report very seriously. a growing number of london

businesses are calling on the government to scrap vat for tourists. shops, brands and heathrow airport say london is losing shoppers to other european cities, where they don't have to pay tax on items. the so—called "tourist tax" is being debated in parliament later but the government says scrapping the tax wouldn't benefit britons london musician eddy grant, famous for the song electric avenue, will be among those who will be honoured when he's inducted onto camden�*s �*music walk of fame'. he'lljoin other musical legends who have aleady been inducted — including amy winehouse, david bowie and madness. the music walk of fame celebrates pioneering figures in music — by embedding stones highlighting their name into the pavements around camden. let's take a look at the tubes now.

there's no service on the piccidilly line between heathrow terminals 2 and 3 and heathrow terminal 5 — otherwise a good service on the network. now onto the weather with kate. he hot and humid night last night. today more of the same. we are hanging on to the high temperatures. a bit of missed the last thing. that could left. we still could get hazy sunshine thanks to the saharan dust particles. it will be another uncomfortable night. the minimum 15 to 17 celsius, quite uncomfortable sleeping. tomorrow much of the same, high out to the east. conditions are similar with nest in the morning. again it will be hot and humid. perhaps cloud in the afternoon and temperatures still reaching 31 celsius. it stays with us as we head

through the weekend as well. temperatures staying in the high 20s. again we could get into the low 30s. 20s. again we could get into the low 305. it 20s. again we could get into the low 30s. it doesn't get any cooler till next week. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and sarah campbell. as we've been hearing this morning, a major manhunt is ongoing to find this man, daniel abed khalife, a former soldier accused of terrorism, who has escaped from prison. he was working in the kitchens at hmp wandsworth yesterday morning when, at around ten to eight, he managed to leave through the main gate by clinging to the underside of a food delivery van. a nationwide search began immediately

but by 3:30pm, counter—terrorism detectives went public, appealing for help to track him down. we're joined now by the film—maker chris atkins. he spent nearly a year in wandsworth after being convicted of fraud, and has written a book about his time there. good morning to you. thank you for joining us this morning. you have a take on this that most people watching have not. can you understand how it might have happened? t understand how it might have happened?— understand how it might have hauened? . , , , ., ,�* happened? i am surprised it doesn't ha en happened? i am surprised it doesn't happen more _ happened? i am surprised it doesn't happen more often. _ happened? i am surprised it doesn't happen more often. wandsworth - happened? i am surprised it doesn't happen more often. wandsworth is| happen more often. wandsworth is terrifying and scary. there are not enough staff, the staff that are not properly trained and there are a lot of very vulnerable prisoners with mental health problems and drug problems people do not know how to deal with and it is exceptionally dysfunctional. the processes of how they run the place are decades old. it is like a dystopian faulty towers is the best way i can describe it.

the details we have at the moment is the escapee was working on a kitchen, he seems to be wearing a chef's outfit. tell us from your experience, the layout. the kitchen... it is difficult for us to understand how it could possibly happen. take us through it. how does it work? tt happen. take us through it. how does it work? ., , �* ., ~' happen. take us through it. how does it work? ., , �* ., ~ ., , ., it work? it doesn't work, that is a thin. it work? it doesn't work, that is a thing- there _ it work? it doesn't work, that is a thing. there are _ it work? it doesn't work, that is a thing. there are lots _ it work? it doesn't work, that is a thing. there are lots of— it work? it doesn't work, that is a thing. there are lots of rules - it work? it doesn't work, that is a thing. there are lots of rules and | thing. there are lots of rules and processes which are often ignored. 0fficers processes which are often ignored. officers will say there are 500 rules and they might apply 50 of them. i have been writing about prison break, it is called time after time, about reoffending. i have a whole section on how easy it is to break out of prison because prisons are so dysfunctional. a guy i met got out of hmp winchester. he got out, walked out the front gate, pretending to be his twin brother.

he managed to bypass security and walk out. a similar huge nationwide manhunt. authorities were completely embarrassed. they ended up dropping charges because the authorities were so inept. they pretty much let him out as i could not prove he had done anything wrong. in wandsworth, the kitchens are in a different bit to the site of the rest of the wings. that is because of strange ways, the riots which went on for days and days with prisoners taking control of the kitchens. they have moved to the kitchen is out of the centre of the kitchen is out of the centre of the kitchen, moving it to a separate building. the downside when it is much easier to escape. he has seen his opening and gone for it. you were mentioning _ his opening and gone for it. you were mentioning about staffing levels, is it a concern and was a concern when you were there? tt levels, is it a concern and was a concern when you were there? it has been a concern _ concern when you were there? it has been a concern for _ concern when you were there? it has been a concern for a _ concern when you were there? it has been a concern for a decade. - concern when you were there? it has been a concern for a decade. the - been a concern for a decade. the justice budget took £1 billion cut

from 2010 onwards. it meant plummeting member of staff, support staff and the officers, the poor people on the front line who had to deal with prisoners day in and day out. i talk about it in my book, you have the old experienced officers. people like mr mackay in porridge. they got the boot because they are too expensive. younger officers are sometimes hired straight out of school with no experience of an environment like this. they get nine weeks training, which is bonkers, the lowest in europe and they are thrown win with a set of keys. they are terrified. these kids are like children like dressed as a prison officer on halloween. they would come to me and ask me the routine, what time people should come out for lunch. at one time i was given the register. they were social start when they asked me to do the

register and asked me to take people off the wing. i was injailfor a crime of dishonesty and it gave me this very responsible role. i could have ticked a box when a prisoner could havejumped over the wall and be on the way to france. 2&1 could have jumped over the wall and be on the way to france.— be on the way to france. 24 hours after the escaped _ be on the way to france. 24 hours after the escaped prisoner, - be on the way to france. 24 hours after the escaped prisoner, what i after the escaped prisoner, what will be happening? will it be full lockdown? t will be happening? will it be full lockdown? . , ., ., ., will be happening? will it be full lockdown? ., ., ., ,, lockdown? i was reading on a sunday newsa er lockdown? i was reading on a sunday newspaper and _ lockdown? i was reading on a sunday newspaper and they _ lockdown? i was reading on a sunday newspaper and they had _ lockdown? i was reading on a sunday newspaper and they had another - newspaper and they had another article yesterday. the whole prison will be on 24—hour lockdown. that prison is always on 24—hour lockdown. most prisoners 90% of the time are locked in cells all day, every day. they might get out for 20 minutes of exercise and will be lucky to get a couple of showers a week. they do not let people out of their sails anyway. they are shutting prison doors after the horse has bolted. sorry to mix my

metaphors. absolute blind panic. some very angry phone calls from the ministry ofjustice to the prison right now. prisoners hate embarrassment —— prisons hate embarrassment. they can usually hermetically seal them and banned prisoners from talking to the media. people get into terrible trouble if stuff gets leaked out of prison. that is why my first book on prison was so illuminating that this is what really goes on behind prison walls. normally they can seal them up walls. normally they can seal them up so it is completely opaque from public scrutiny, they can keep failing and getting things wrong. every now and again the public gets a chink of light into how dysfunctional prisons are. and something like this happen, hiding on the bottom of a van and getting out? it is pretty easy to do. irate out? it is pretty easy to do. we will have the _ out? it is pretty easy to do. we will have the latest with our correspondent at the top of the hour.

made publicly previously. he was very direct. he was saying a prayer could die out here. —— a player. the match was played under a partial roof—closure to offer the players and spectators some shade. after that exchange, medvedev found a way of keeping his cool, winning the next four games to beat andrey rublev and faces carlos alcarez next. after the match, he was asked about the issue of the heat. brutal conditions for both of us. i mean, i don't know if it could be seen through the camera but because i'm sweating so much, i use a lot of towels. i have no skin left on my nose here and here it is red. it's not because of the sun, it's not like you're burned, but i have no skin left. maybe i'm going to finish my career and nothing is going to happen and then it's fine and then i'm talking for nothing. but the question is, we don't want something to happen and then say, "oh, my god, medvedev said this a couple of years ago!" players using everything they can to

try to keep cool. cold towels. a very real warning over dangers he feels players are facing playing in that heat at the moment. madison keys will face aryna sabalenka in the women's semi—final after the american knocked out wimbledon champion marketa vondrousova. keys who was a finalist at flushing meadows six years ago, she proved too strong. taking the first set 6—1, before taking the next 6—4 to reach the last four. disappointment for england's women in the final t20 in derby as they suffered a shock first—ever series defeat to sri lanka who won the third match by seven wickets. signs were there from the start, dani wyatt out first ball, setting the tone for a sub par total of 116 all out. sri lanka in response set about chasing that down, with some big hitting, as they took the win with 3 overs to spare. this the first home t20 series that england have lost to anyone but australia in 13 years.

it's always disappointing to leave a series, to be completely —— to lose a series, to be completely honest with you. obviously, we had such an incredible ashes and i don't think that takes away from what a good team we are. louis said that to us after chelmsford that a couple of losses don't make you a bad team. and we're still learning. we're still working towards that bangladesh world cup next year. so we've still got 12 months of really planning and prepping and hopefully we'll see more polished performances by the time we get to that. the women's world cup might be over, the new wsl season yet to start, but champion's league qualifying is already underway. arsenal beat swedish side linkopings 3—0 in the semi—final of the first round of qualifying for the women's champions league. they face paris fc this weekend for a place in the second round — the stage before the group stage. arsenal on course to get there.

there were also wins for celtic and glasgow city but cardiff city and cliftonville lost. there have been more developments in spain where footballerjenni hermoso has filed a legal complaint over the kiss by the president of spain's football federation, luis rubiales. she was kissed on the lips by rubiales after spain's win over england at the world cup final in sydney, saying it was not consensual. rubiales denies that and has refused to resign, despite being suspended by fifa. the complaint means he could now face criminal charges. it is the latest development in this ongoing saga. we saw their head coach being sacked. he is still in his post at the moment but could face possible charges. i know you started with the weather in new york. for a club here properly warm. so warm at

the moment. the mini heatwave for us as well. let's get up—to—date with the figures. you are in the right place, and a day. it was very peculiar in salford. not only was it with a warm, it was raining as well. maybe some record temperatures? possibly, charlie. at the moment for example in porthmadog in wales, the temperature is 21.9 celsius, muggy, sticky and way above what we would expect at this time of year. if you are stuck under low clad mist and fog we have, temperatures are suppressed. inbound morale in scotland it is 9.4 celsius. it is muqqy scotland it is 9.4 celsius. it is muggy here at the lido. not a cloud in the sky. another hot day. a couple of days where a few places in the uk have had temperatures above 30 celsius and we are set to

continue in that vein with a few more places seeing that kind of temperature or higher in the next couple of days. the forecast is that the september heatwave does continue. you'll be very warm, one for of us. cooler temperatures coming our way for of us. cooler temperatures coming ourway in for of us. cooler temperatures coming our way in the north and west, in scotland and northern ireland as we come into the weekend. it will take longer to come into the south—east. it will not be till the beginning of next week. high pressure is out to the east, low pressure is out to the east, low pressure to the south—west. in between we are pulling on this warm or hot continental air. air quality over the next few days could be quite poor. thus, something to consider if you have respiratory issues. today we have low clad, mist and fog in the east of scotland and north—east england as well as the central belt. it will slowly burn back to the coast. also showers coming up from the south—west,

drifting north. getting into western scotland. in between dry and sunny with temperatures mid to high 20s, locally in the southeast 30, 31, maybe 32 today again. this evening and overnight low cloud, mist and fog comes back in from the north sea across eastern areas. also some further thundery showers coming in from the south—west and it will be a muqqy from the south—west and it will be a muggy night. temperatures falling away between 12 to 17 degrees. tomorrow a repeat performance of the low clad, mist and fog burning back to the north sea coastline. some of it may stick in places and showers to clear from the west. in between a lot of dry, sunny and hot weather. again temperatures up to 30,31, possibly 32. on saturday we are likely to see the highest temperatures. it could be up to 33 in the south—eastern corner. we are seeing showers coming in, we could

seeing showers coming in, we could see showers as far south as wales, for example. temperatures round about 14 to 19 in the north—western corner. we still are warm, very warm or hot for the rest of the uk. during sunday, the weatherfront starts to sink further south taking splashes of rain with it. changes on the horizon but notjust yet. thea;r the horizon but not 'ust yet. they are all the horizon but not 'ust yet. they an very h the horizon but not 'ust yet. they are all very well — the horizon but notjust yet. they are all very well behaved, - the horizon but notjust yet. they are all very well behaved, simmers behind you. no one yet has even splashed a tiny bit in your direction. don't give anybody any ideas, charlie! t direction. don't give anybody any ideas, charlie!— ideas, charlie! i am glad to hear it. iwill ideas, charlie! i am glad to hear it- iwilljust— ideas, charlie! i am glad to hear it. iwilljust tell— ideas, charlie! i am glad to hear it. i willjust tell you _ ideas, charlie! i am glad to hear it. i willjust tell you now, - ideas, charlie! i am glad to hear it. i willjust tell you now, i - ideas, charlie! i am glad to hear it. i willjust tell you now, i am. it. i willjust tell you now, i am not going in. it. i willjust tell you now, i am not going in-— it. i willjust tell you now, i am not auoin in. ., ., , , not going in. yet, carol, yet is the word. not going in. yet, carol, yet is the word- that — not going in. yet, carol, yet is the word. that was _ not going in. yet, carol, yet is the word. that was a _ not going in. yet, carol, yet is the word. that was a pretty _ not going in. yet, carol, yet is the word. that was a pretty definite i word. that was a pretty definite know, wasn't it? electric vans will start rolling off the production line at vauxhall�*s ellesmere port plant today — making it the uk's

first facility to produce only electric vehicles. hannah is there to tell us more. good morning. it has been a pretty uncertain time for the car industry. here in ellesmere port, it is a pretty big day. they make the citroen van here, peugeot, fiat and of course they are known for making vauxhall cars. from today it would be the first facility in the uk dedicated solely to making electric vehicles they hope to make 50,000 of them a year. if we look at the car industry, the automotive industry more widely, in the last year, around 800,000 vehicles were made and around a third of those were electric, plug—in hybrid. the big challenge for electric vehicles, one of the challenges, is the batteries. at the moment there is only one gig

a factory that has been announced in the uk. experts say we need more of them. that is set to be in somerset. charging is also an issue. there has been criticism of a lack of infrastructure, particularly for lorries and heavy goods vehicles, where there is a lack of charging infrastructure for them. convincing people to switch to using electric vehicles like this is a challenge. 0ne electric van hire company in manchester told us they are struggling to work out whether people are quite convinced. electric lines are at — people are quite convinced. electric lines are at the _ people are quite convinced. electric lines are at the start _ people are quite convinced. electric lines are at the start when - lines are at the start when electrics _ lines are at the start when electrics were introduced and stuff like that — electrics were introduced and stuff like that. once they found that there _ like that. once they found that there is— like that. once they found that there is no infrastructure for the fans _ there is no infrastructure for the fans. people hiring vans are people with businesses, they are going everywhere, all over the country. at is what _ everywhere, all over the country. at is what we _ everywhere, all over the country. at is what we feel in our place. where they are _ is what we feel in our place. where they are going, they might not have

for more than six decades, ken dodd was one of the uk's most popular stand—up comics. when you dream, do you dream in technicolor or black and white? i always dream in black and white now. well, i mean, at my age it's mostly repeats. in his house, he kept more than a thousand notebooks — full ofjokes, musings and his thoughts on life, and left his wife, anne, with very specific instructions about what was to happen to them. in the latter years of his life, he did say, "you will burn them everything when i'm gone. "you will burn all my notebooks, won't you? and i promised — it was easierjust to agree. you can't say, "no, i won't." he might have burnt them himself. he was a very private person. i'm interested in this one because he is so famous for his long shows and how they go on for hours. oh, yes! "i'm spoiling the quality of my life by being so self—indulgent and egotistical. i must take some material out." and i used to say, "really?" especially in the latter years. i used to say, "shorter shows, longer life." # happiness, happiness

# the greatest gift that we possess.# so what made you decide to keep them? i never thought of burning them. i knew i wasn't going to. i knew i couldn't. not because i thought they were valuable, but i thought they were valuable because they were unique. next year, liverpool will be the city of culture. we're having evening classes in graffiti and the dockers are having ballet lessons. i love the fact he can still make you laugh. he does because i've not seen that page either. how much have you learned about him from reading? 0h. it's not... i always thought he was clever, but i found out how much more clever he was than i realised. isn't that awful? the final preparations are being made for a new exhibition entirely dedicated to ken dodd at the museum of liverpool. this is the moggy coat. probably one of his most iconic costumes. this whole section is about ken, the legend.

this is dickie mint, which is my favourite object, i think, in the whole exhibition. but the notebooks are the real highlight. they've never been seen before, ever, by anyone outside of ken's house. and they give a little insight into his vulnerabilities as well, which you don't often see. he was the ultimate performer. so as soon as there was a camera on him, he knew it was there and he was great, and he was amazing. but just to see that little bit of uncertainty, i think that the public will be quite surprised by that. "i can't make you laugh. the laugh is there." and as for what ken would have made of his wife going against his wishes... i wonder if it would be... "i told you what to do." i feel surely he's put so much work into that. surely he wouldn't have liked to see it go up in flames. i couldn't have seen it go up in flames. how much do you miss him? oh, god! every day. every day that he's around me. he's in the house with me.

i talk to him. # happiness.# colin paterson, bbc news, liverpool. happiness! a lot of people will get a lot from that event, none more clearly than his widow, who is looking through stuff and finding things out. fascinating. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning, welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. a woman who was left unconscious after being punched by a masked stranger in south east london, says the metropolitan police have not taken her attack seriously. the woman, who has been asked to be known as anna, says she was assaulted in gipsy hill injuly, and since the incident the met has been poor at communicating. now she says her partner has resorted to making door to door enquiries himself.

ifeel like it's been up to me and my family and friends to help solve this crime. i think because i was attacked and because i wasn't raped or killed, i don't think they're taking it that seriously. i'm just scared this man is going to do it again. and it is going to have more sinister consequences if he is not arrested. the met says it appears communication with the victim has been disjointed and slow at times. it says an investigation is ongoing and that it is taking the report very seriously. growing number of london businesses are calling on the government to scrap vat for tourists. shops, brands and heathrow airport side london is losing shoppers to other european cities where they don't have to pay tax on items. the so—called tourist tax is being debated in parliament later. the government says scrapping the tax wouldn't benefit londoners and cost the taxpayer £2 billion per year.

people coming from overseas coming to london know they can get better value elsewhere. they are choosing to visit there elsewhere. we are seeing a huge drop in revenues that we could be raising from some of these international visitors. london musician eddy grant, famous for the song �*electric avenue', will be inducted later onto camden's music walk of fame. he'lljoin other musical legends, including amy winehouse, david bowie and madness. the music walk fo fame celebrates pioneering figures in music, by embedding stones into the pavements around camden. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. a hot and humid night last night. today more of the same. plenty of sunshine, yes, but we are hanging on to those high temperatures. plenty of sunshine but a bit

of mistiness around first thing. that will lift. we still could get hazy sunshine, thanks to the saharan dust particles. temperatures again reaching around 31 celsius. it will be another uncomfortable night. we're hanging on to this humid air. the minimum 15 to 17 celsius, quite uncomfortable for sleeping. tomorrow more of the same, high pressure out to the east. conditions remain very similar with plenty of sunshine. we could get a bit of mistiness in the morning. again it will be hot and humid. perhaps a little more cloud in the afternoon but temperatures still reaching 31 celsius. it stays with us as we head through the weekend as well. temperatures widely staying in the high 20s. again we could get into the low 30s. it doesn't really get any cooler till next week. that's it for now. more on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and sarah campbell. our headlines today. police continue their hunt for daniel khalife — a former soldier, accused of terrorism, who escaped from wandsworth prison by clinging to a delivery van. no breakthrough in the investigation overnight. this morning some key questions for the prison service. how exactly did this happen, and where exactly is that escaped prisoner? confirmation is expected later this morning that the uk has rejoined the eu's flagship science programme, horizon. are pet owners getting value from their vet? a review�*s started into the cost of veterinary services in the uk. good morning from charlton lido, where it is a muggy start. a muggy start for most of the country. we

are looking at another dry, sunny and very warm or hot day. the chance of some showers in the west. details later. from comedy to films and now children's books — the actor and now author ben miller joins us at ten to eight. good morning. it's thursday, the 7th of september. our main story. a hunt is continuing for a suspected terrorist who escaped from wandsworth prison in london by clinging to the underside of a food delivery van. daniel khalife escaped in a chef's uniform yesterday morning. thejustice secretary has ordered an urgent investigation into what happened. our reporter simonjones has more. currently britain's most wanted man. the hunt for daniel khalife, facing serious charges of threats to the state, is being described as urgent and extensive. despite all the security that should have been in place here at wandsworth prison, the former soldier managed to escape from the jail�*s

kitchen by strapping himself to the bottom of a food—delivery van. he was wearing his distinctive chef's uniform. he could be anywhere in the country at the moment and, yes, of course we're mindful of the risk of him potentially leaving the country. we're focusing our efforts in london at the moment. so we have counter—terrorism officers now deployed across london, working with colleagues from across the metropolitan police and our partner agencies to try and find him here. he has connections to the north west of the country, so we are also working with colleagues all around the country. the hunt for daniel khalife extended to the borders, too — additional security checks at airports and ports led to long queues forming for passengers. daniel khalifejoined the army in 2019. three years later, he became the subject of a counter—terrorism investigation. he's accused on the 2nd of january this year of planting fake bombs at the barracks in stafford, where he was based. he was arrested later that month. the charges he face include preparing an act of terrorism, and collecting information that might be useful to terrorists

or enemies of the uk. wandsworth is a category b reception and resettlement prison, so it's not an obvious place for somebody who's been charged under terrorism offences, who is a potential national security risk. the justice secretary, alex chalk, has echoed those concerns, demanding an urgent investigation by the prison service into why daniel khalife wasn't being held in a high—security category a jail. but labour says the government itself has explaining to do. we know that there are huge problems with prisons, and prison places in particular. and, as we've seen, there is now a terror suspect on the loose, having escaped from wandsworth prison. so big questions for the government to answer. in a statement, the prison service said...

the police say although they don't believe daniel khalife poses a threat to the wider public, anyone who sees him should call 999 immediately. simon jones, bbc news. simonjonesjoins us now from wandsworth prison. good morning. we heard about the internal investigation going on. how embarrassing is this for the prison service? , :, embarrassing is this for the prison service? , . , embarrassing is this for the prison service? , ., , ., service? yes, and this morning the prison service _ service? yes, and this morning the prison service is _ service? yes, and this morning the prison service is facing _ service? yes, and this morning the prison service is facing two - service? yes, and this morning the prison service is facing two major. prison service is facing two major investigations. the first investigations. the first investigation is being led by the met police. that is the manhunt for daniel khalife. no breakthrough on that as far as we are aware overnight. what we know is that he absconded from the jail almost 24 hours ago. he has been on the run since eight o'clock yesterday morning. what will be worrying for the polices when they are looking for somebody who has escaped, the first hours after the escape the key

before a prisoner is able to travel any sort of distance. but yesterday afternoon, having apparently exhausted all their leads and appeal —— an appealwas exhausted all their leads and appeal —— an appeal was made to the public. the second investigation and more embarrassing for the government is how exactly this happened. however prisoner could simply cling to the bottom of a van and get out of the gel that way. it almost sounds like something out of a film. —— out of the jail. the justice something out of a film. —— out of the jail. thejustice secretary has been talking to the governor of the prison and also other members of the prison service to determine what happened. because in theory, any van going in or out of the gel, should undergo vigorous security checks. it is not clear whether that happened or if the czechs did indeed take place, why didn't they find khalife? —— checks. in terms of the investigation, we know all four forces across the country are being asked to be on the lookout. but for

the government, they will be hoping for a swift resolution to this. labour say it shows the chaos at the heart of downing street when you can't even keep prisoners safely under lock and key. the government have responded saying they have increased the number of prison officers during the course of this year, but embarrassing, and also potentially damaging for them. simon jones at wandsworth _ potentially damaging for them. simon jones at wandsworth prison, - potentially damaging for them. simon jones at wandsworth prison, thank you for that. now the rest of the news with charlie. it won't come as a surprise to a lot of people if you had an uncomfortable night last night, temperatures very high. we'll find out later this morning if we've just experienced the hottest september night on record for the uk. daytime temperatures reached 32 degrees in london yesterday — and the heatwave is expected to peak at 33 degrees on saturday. scotland, wales, northern england and northern ireland will also have a warm weekend, but with temperatures peaking around 25 degrees.

we will talk to carol in a few minutes to find out what those temperatures actually were overnight. it's been announced the uk is rejoining the eu flagship scientific research programme, now. the membership was lost during post—brexit negotiations. —— horizon. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminster. that official confirmation in the last minute or so has come through. it is significant, this. remind people of the money involved and why it is changing now? 50. people of the money involved and why it is changing now?— it is changing now? so, horizon euroe it is changing now? so, horizon europe is— it is changing now? so, horizon europe is an — it is changing now? so, horizon europe is an £80 _ it is changing now? so, horizon europe is an £80 billion - it is changing now? so, horizon europe is an £80 billion across| europe is an £80 billion across european research grant programme. so, before brexit, when the uk was part of the european union, the uk scientists and the uk could apply to

horizon for a grands. when the uk left the eu the uk left that programme and scientists at uk research organisations in this country couldn't get access to the same funding from other sources. that changes from today. just announced in the last few minutes is that uk scientists can now apply to horizon europe starting today. after a phone call last night between rishi sunak and president ursula von der leyen. this is very significant for scientists. der leyen. this is very significant forscientists. it der leyen. this is very significant for scientists. it has a broader significance. this is the first sign that there is now some trust again between the uk government and the government of the european union, the european commission. that basically has not been there. that trust. i think really since the 23rd ofjune 2016 when the uk voted that it wanted to leave european union. so i think it is possible that this mightjust be one of a start of a string, where inch by inch, bit by

bit, agreement by agreement, the uk might get to a somewhat closer relationship with the european union. henry, thank you. president zelensky has condemned a russian attack in eastern ukraine which killed at least 17 people, including a child, and injured 33 others. he described the attack, which took place yesterday in kostyantynivka, as "brazen wickedness" . mexico's supreme court has legalised abortion nationwide. the ruling means the federal healthcare system will be able to provide abortion services across all 32 states. japan has successfully launched a rocket carrying a small craft which it hopes to land on the moon early next year. if the mission succeeds, japan will become the fifth country to reach the lunar surface. they are never not striking those

images. amazing. royal mail has revealed images of 12 special stamps to mark 70 years since the start of dame shirley bassey�*s career. and why not? what a career. it's the first time an entire stamp issue has been dedicated to a solo female music artist. dame shirley said she's "absolutely thrilled and never dreamed that one day her face would be on a stamp". that's the sort of thing, can you guess which numbers he is singing from the images? i would need to look more closely. big songs. let's go to carol. there is a technical area of this, then there is the bit we are all experiencing. it has been a really hot night last night, hasn't it? it may well be some kind of a record. it might well be, chardy. we should find out shortly. for a tropical

night it means temperatures don't fall lower than 20 celsius. —— charlie. that may have happened in parts of wales last night. we are yet to have them, they should be in shortly and they can be confirmed later on by the met office. whether we have had a tropical night or not and how it compares with previous nights. the heatwave does continue. some of us are already in humid conditions. the next few days temperatures will be 30 degrees or a rate higher than that. —— are a bit higher than that. the forecast for the next few days is certainly the september heatwave is continuing. the low cloud, mist and fog we have this morning is draped across parts of eastern and central scotland. as well as north—east england. very slowly through the course of the day what you will find is that will burn back to the coast. but of some of it could linger in spots. the other thing, we have seen some heavy

showers overnight across pembrokeshire, for example. through the day we will have some showers moving up through the irish sea and later getting into western scotland. but in between we are looking at a lot of dry, sunny and warm conditions. temperatures widely in the mid to high 20s. locally, the low 30s in the south—east. through this evening and overnight we see the return of the low cloud or, mist and fog across eastern and central parts of scotland, north—east england, the showers move away from the far north of scotland. clear skies. another multi—1. another one uncomfortable for sleeping in. —— another muggy one. tomorrow, the low cloud, mist and fog pushes back towards the east coast. a lot of it burning away. further showers coming in from the south—west drifting further north. in between, again, a lot of dry, sunny or warm, as my very warm, weather. we could hit 32

degrees in the south—east. it looks like the highest temperature will be on saturday where someone —— or somewhere in the south—east could reach 32 celsius. at this time of the year, the beginning of september, the average temperature in the south—east is nowhere near 33. it is closer to 21. carol, thank you very much. we will checkin carol, thank you very much. we will check in through the morning. and see whether records were actually broken. we will keep an eye on those figures. you won't have had your heating on last night, we know this. providing free heating on prescription results in patients making fewer trips to see their gp — that's the finding of the biggest ever trial of the idea. most of the people involved in the trial were over—65 and had breathing problems, and many were from low income households. our cost of living correspondent colletta smith has the story. retired binmanjames has

a lung condition that makes moving about difficult. you're gasping for air. it's not nice. it really is not nice. but last winter was different because his heating came on prescription from his doctor. along with more than 800 others in this trial, the winter bill was paid upfront to his energy account. i was over the moon. and it was easing the pressure, the pressure i had, to pay things. i just felt safe. i'd like to make an appointment to see the doctor, please. yeah, no problem. and that's something that researchers from sheffield hallam university saw as they tracked patients over the last year. a big boost in how people were feeling, and emerging evidence of fewer prescriptions and trips to the doctor than would be expected. we want people to be out there, healthy, happy, living well in the community. doctors involved think there has

been financial benefits to patients being here less often. firstly, there's a cost to the patient in terms of the fact that they might not be able to go to work. there's also the cost to the health care system. it depends how poorly they are as to whether they come to us, whether they go to a&e, whether they call an ambulance, for example. and all of those different things have got different costs associated with them. crisis management, it takes much longer to resolve that, and it's much more expensive than stopping it at the front end. researchers say it's still too early to say if the benefit to the nhs would be more than the £1,000 price tag per patient. but dr hollingsworth is in no doubt. invest in this intervention and it helps not only the patient, but actually, the wider community. although the government funded the first tiny pilot project two years ago, it was actually the private sector that paid for the 800 or so houses last winter. and that pot of money has run out.

so the question is, what happens next? because if the government were to pick up the tab and extend this scheme across the uk, it wouldn't come cheap. a special task force of industry, government, health care and charities are now trying to work out what the next steps could be. and the former home secretary amber rudd, is the chair. they should think about this when they put together any new energy policy. the really interesting thing to me anyway, as a former secretary of state, is that this is very effective targeting of people who are most adversely affected and are most vulnerable. and we've been able to show that they can be helped and targeted with relatively small amounts of money, which is transformational for their lives. now, the pilot's over, james is back tojuggling the bills and keeping well this winter. if you were offered the same again this winter? i'd love it. i'd do somersaults! colletta smith, bbc

what we can do to meet those needs. there are lots of families struggling to access services. so part of my role is, what can we do whilst we are waiting to access services? what can we do to support adults around that young person to try and help understand what they are going through and why it presents as it does? and how can we support them? fight! presents as it does? and how can we support them?— presents as it does? and how can we support them? and how can you? most tteole support them? and how can you? most people won't — support them? and how can you? most people won't be — support them? and how can you? most people won't be in _ support them? and how can you? most people won't be in the _ support them? and how can you? most people won't be in the position - people won't be in the position lucky enough to have you on hand. if there are people watching, if there are people going through difficulties, what is the best piece of advice you could give? tithe difficulties, what is the best piece of advice you could give?- difficulties, what is the best piece of advice you could give? one of the best pieces — of advice you could give? one of the best pieces of _ of advice you could give? one of the best pieces of advice _ of advice you could give? one of the best pieces of advice i _ of advice you could give? one of the best pieces of advice i can _ of advice you could give? one of the best pieces of advice i can give i of advice you could give? one of the best pieces of advice i can give is i best pieces of advice i can give is to always, always see the surface behaviour as a communication of need. so, for taylor she was crying, for example. and that was, help me, help me. in regards to helping that young person, it isjust being, initially, before we can get all the other services etc involved, it is being that stable constant for that young person so that they know when they are low, we are there to

support them. it is the emotional connection which is what mum was just talking about in regards to what i have always had, it is about strengthening that, not being afraid to talk about it. there is no quick fix. it is really, really important for the young person and everybody else around them to understand, to try to balance that with the rest of their life. this does not have to be their life. this does not have to be their whole life. what else can we draw upon to get them through this scenario, through those difficult times? an emotional connection is huge with the adults around them. t huge with the adults around them. i bet a few hugs along the way hasn't done any harm?— bet a few hugs along the way hasn't done any harm?- lovely i bet a few hugs along the way hasn't i done any harm?- lovely having done any harm? plenty. lovely having ou both done any harm? plenty. lovely having you both here- — done any harm? plenty. lovely having you both here. i'm _ done any harm? plenty. lovely having you both here. i'm so _ done any harm? plenty. lovely having you both here. i'm so pleased - done any harm? plenty. lovely having you both here. i'm so pleased you i you both here. i'm so pleased you are a good place now. wonderful success story. thank you for coming in. thank you well. you will be able to watch that programme at nine o'clock on bbc two or on the iplayer. it's a big day for the vauxhall plant

the woman, who has been asked to be known as anna, says she was assaulted in gipsy hill injuly, and since the incident the met has been poor at communicating. now she says her partner has resorted to making door to door enquiries himself. ifeel like it's been up to me and my family and friends to help solve this crime. i think because i was attacked and because i wasn't raped or killed, i don't think they're taking it that seriously. i'm just scared this man is going to do it again. and it is going to have more sinister consequences if he is not arrested. the met says it appears communication with the victim has been disjointed and slow at times. it says an investigation is ongoing and that it is taking the report very seriously. a growing number of london businesses are calling on the government to scrap vat for tourists. shops, brands and heathrow airport say london is losing shoppers to other european cities where they don't have to pay tax on items.

the so—called tourist tax is being debated in parliament later. the government says scrapping the benefit scrapping the benefit wouldn't londoners. the parts of europe don't charge the tourist tax and they are choosing to visit there instead. that means a huge drop in revenues we could be raising from international visitors. london musician eddy grant, famous for the song electric avenue, will be inducted later onto camden's music walk of fame. he'lljoin other musical legends, including amy winehouse, david bowie and madness. the music walk fo fame celebrates pioneering figures in music, by embedding stones into the pavements around camden. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. a hot and humid night last night.

today more of the same. plenty of sunshine, yes, but we are hanging on to those high temperatures. plenty of sunshine but a bit of mistiness around first thing. that will lift. we still could get hazy sunshine, thanks to the saharan dust particles. temperatures again reaching around 31 celsius. it will be another uncomfortable night. we're hanging on to this humid air. the minimum 15 to 17 celsius, quite uncomfortable for sleeping. tomorrow more of the same, high pressure out to the east. conditions remain very similar with plenty of sunshine. we could get a bit of mistiness in the morning. again it will be hot and humid. perhaps a little more cloud in the afternoon but temperatures still reaching 31 celsius. it stays with us as we head through the weekend as well. temperatures widely staying in the high 20s. again we could get into the low 30s. it doesn't really get any cooler till next week.

more on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london. i will be back in half—an—hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and sarah campbell. as we've been hearing this morning, a major manhunt is ongoing to find this man, daniel khalife, a former soldier accused of terrorism, who has escaped from prison. let's ta ke let's take you through what we know so far. he was working in the kitchens at hmp wandsworth yesterday morning when, at around ten to eight, he managed to leave through the main gate by clinging to the underside a food delivery van. a nationwide search began immediately but, by 3:30, counter—terrorism detectives went public, appealing for help to track him down. we'rejoined now by rosena allin—khan, the labour mp whose constituency of tooting includes hmp wandsworth. very good morning to you. thank you for your time this morning. i

seven members of staff turned up for a night shift to look up to 1500 inmates. the prison itself was also without water faucet stays. there has been ongoing staffing issues at wandsworth prison. what this meant was that on shifts like that, that was that on shifts like that, that was so understaffed, people were then asked to stay to do double shifts to make up the shortfall. undoubtedly, when you have situations like this, things will happen the mistakes will be made. it is really disconcerting there is now someone on the loose he was able to escape. i raised this with the justice secretary nine months ago when i was alerted to this. {shoe justice secretary nine months ago when i was alerted to this. give me a sense, when i was alerted to this. give me a sense. a — when i was alerted to this. give me a sense. a lot _ when i was alerted to this. give me a sense, a lot of _ when i was alerted to this. give me a sense, a lot of people _ when i was alerted to this. give me a sense, a lot of people when i when i was alerted to this. give me a sense, a lot of people when they| a sense, a lot of people when they first heard the story, alongside the wider issues you are talking about them in terms of the mechanics of them in terms of the mechanics of the moment this prisoner escaped, the moment this prisoner escaped, the idea that at a prison in 2023,

it is possible to just walk out of the kitchen, climb under a van and drive out of the gates. lttrul’hat the kitchen, climb under a van and drive out of the gates.— drive out of the gates. what are our drive out of the gates. what are your thoughts — drive out of the gates. what are your thoughts about _ drive out of the gates. what are your thoughts about that? i drive out of the gates. what are | your thoughts about that? really interesting you say that. many decades ago we had great train robber robbie big —— ronnie biggs escaped from wandsworth prison. now it is like a bad comedy movie that something similar has happened again. undoubtedly questions need to be asked. it is deeply concerning. we know what he is suspected of having done. this could have been anyone that is in there for any reason and understandably the public will be concerned. i think what is really, really important is the understanding that there is a wider issue around the country across all our prison services of understaffing, under resourcing and fundamentally this looks at the broader picture of a failing public services across the country. we have schools falling down. my local

prison were six days without water. the nhs is on its knees. this has to be a wake—up call for the government to actually do something about this. i am assuming that you mentioned at the beginning you are the local mp, saying you lived very close by. among other things, i dare say people who live near prisons, it could be one or another prison in the uk, must be a little bit concerned about how easy it is an assumption is made that prisoners are kept inside the prison. if it is so easy to get out, that is an immediate concern for people living close by. t0 immediate concern for people living close b . ., , immediate concern for people living closeb. :,, :, , immediate concern for people living closeb. .,, ., , , immediate concern for people living closeb. .,, ., , ,., ., close by. to be honest, it is a real concern when _ close by. to be honest, it is a real concern when you _ close by. to be honest, it is a real concern when you live _ close by. to be honest, it is a real concern when you live close i close by. to be honest, it is a real concern when you live close by. i i concern when you live close by. i think everyone i have spoken to is really concerned because generally it is my understanding that prisoners don't try to stay really close to where they have escaped from. they will be on the move. that is why the work has been to try to find him in ports and airports.

nobody here is suspected of committing crimes like that should be able to escape. the real question is, how has it been allowed to happen? what are the systemic failings question about why are we having ships were only seven people are turning up to look after 1500 inmates. —— shifts. white mafi mentioned the wider context. th mentioned the wider context. in essence, if a labour mentioned the wider context. in essence, ifa labouradministration essence, if a labour administration were to be in government, would there be more money for the prison service? —— you mentioned the wider context. tt service? -- you mentioned the wider context. , ., , ., , ., context. it is about people wanting to work in the _ context. it is about people wanting to work in the service _ context. it is about people wanting to work in the service and - context. it is about people wanting to work in the service and feeling i to work in the service and feeling it is a worthwhile job for them. with cuts to pay, poor working conditions, it is very, very difficult to attract people into the prison service. when i went to wandsworth prison myself and asked the governor lots of questions because she was saying it is really hard to recruit the full terms and conditions people were sick because

they are struggling with mental health. imagine you go to work feeling as if you have one arm tied behind your back. on her watch she has people escaping. that will affect you inevitably and stop you wanting to come to work and do your job. ma; wanting to come to work and do your 'ob. ~ , , ., ., , wanting to come to work and do your 'ob. y , ., ., job. my question was, would labour tut in job. my question was, would labour put in more — job. my question was, would labour put in more money? _ job. my question was, would labour put in more money? we _ job. my question was, would labour put in more money? we have i job. my question was, would labour put in more money? we have a - job. my question was, would labour put in more money? we have a new shadow put in more money? we have a new shadowjustice _ put in more money? we have a new shadowjustice secretary _ put in more money? we have a new shadowjustice secretary appointed | shadow justice secretary appointed this shadowjustice secretary appointed this week, that would be a question for her. , ~ this week, that would be a question for her. ., ~ , ., this week, that would be a question for her. . ~' , ., , this week, that would be a question for her. ., ~ ,, , . this week, that would be a question for her. . ~' , ., , . . for her. thank you very much. that from the labour _ for her. thank you very much. that from the labour mp _ for her. thank you very much. that from the labour mp for— for her. thank you very much. that from the labour mp for tooting. it| from the labour mp for tooting. it was in her constituency where the prisoner escaped from wandsworth prison. most of us won't need reminding that the weather has been hard to predict this year. we're currently in a heatwave, which followed a washoutjuly and august, but the uk's hottest june on record. in the last month, heatwaves, wildfires, torrential rain and hurricanes have battered much of the northern hemisphere. the heat in august created tinder—dry conditions which led

to wildfires that swept across the mediterranean. this was in athens. the island of maui in hawaii also suffered devastating wildfires, which were fanned by high winds. 80% of the historic town of lahaina was destroyed. a few days later, wildfires meant 15,000 households were evacuated from british columbia in canada — an area larger than england has been devastated and at least 1,000 fires are still burning. and in the last 48 hours, we've seen flash flooding in bulgaria, turkey and greece. roads turned into rivers, with parked cars completely submerged. we're joined now by our climate editor, justin rowlatt. justin, all of this extreme weather around the world — and here in the uk we'vejust been through a "tropical night"

can you tell us what is going on? what is unusual this year is how many records have been broken, particularly around heat. we have had the hottest day ever recorded, the hottest week ever recorded and now the hottest summer ever recorded in the northern hemisphere. four months left of the year and copernicus, the european weather and climate monitoring service is already predicting this will be the hottest year ever recorded. what they are saying is this is likely to be the hottest year in 120,000 years, so since the beginning of the last ice age. really extraordinary weather. it is not normal for this many records to be broken. this is really extremely unusual weather we have been seeing. it really extremely unusual weather we have been seeing.— have been seeing. it has felt over the summer— have been seeing. it has felt over the summer that _ have been seeing. it has felt over the summer that every _ have been seeing. it has felt over the summer that every single - have been seeing. it has felt over the summer that every single day there has been an extreme weather event happening somewhere not too

far away. event happening somewhere not too faraway. in event happening somewhere not too far away. in a sense, justin, should we expect this to be happening more frequently going forward? is extreme going to become the norm? that frequently going forward? is extreme going to become the norm?— going to become the norm? that is what seems _ going to become the norm? that is what seems to _ going to become the norm? that is what seems to be _ going to become the norm? that is what seems to be happening. - going to become the norm? that isi what seems to be happening. what going to become the norm? that is i what seems to be happening. what is clear is the fingerprint of climate change and all of this. if you raise average temperatures, you will make hotter temperatures more likely and you make keep waves more likely and extreme temperatures are significantly more likely. that is what we have been seeing you talk about some of the weather events we have seen this year, the incredibly hot heat waves we saw in europe this year, those sign say would have been virtually impossible without the climate change caused by what we have pumped into the atmosphere. behind it is the role of climate change, our heating climate as a result of the carbon dioxide emissions our society produces. tar

emissions our society produces. for man , emissions our society produces. for many, many years there was a reluctance to saying, yes, this is definitely due to climate change. has that reluctance completely gone? scientists have been clear that the decades climate change would cause big changes to the weather we see year after year. that certainly is happening. most of what is happening is in line with models that have existed for many years and is consistent with what scientists say have been happening. the kind of weather we are seeing, it is unarguable. the sceptics who say i simply do not believe mankind is having its effect on global climate, those sceptics are having to face the fact there are such dramatic changes in weather systems around the world, it is unarguable that climate change is happening. we are seeing such extremes and we are increasing the amount of pollution we are pumping into the atmosphere. that is the key to this. we need to reduce carbon emissions to reduce

the progress of climate change and slow down the increasing temperatures that are causing extremes we have been talking about. thank you for that this morning. you are talking about extreme weather across the northern hemisphere. also potentially record—breaking temperatures here in the uk. carol is there at the lido. i think we can find out exactly what to expect over the coming days. these hot temperatures, i think, the coming days. these hot temperatures, ithink, are the coming days. these hot temperatures, i think, are due to last sat into the weekend. i think that carol has pushed justin into the water and taking his position. what have you done with him? he has been auoin what have you done with him? he has been going up — what have you done with him? he has been going up and _ what have you done with him? he has been going up and down _ what have you done with him? he has been going up and down there - what have you done with him? he has been going up and down there like - what have you done with him? he has been going up and down there like a l been going up and down there like a basking shark. actually he is just standing next to me. he is going on later. we will help him. morning, everybody. last night was a tropical night for fell to 21 celsius. in

porthmadog it was 20.2. the met office will officially declare it a tropical night later on. one or two places hit back criteria as well. not a record—breaking september night. that happened a few years ago when the temperature did not full lower than 20.7. what we are looking at today is the summer weather continuing. we have low cloud, mist murk coming in from the north sea through the course of the night. very slowly it will burn back towards the north sea coastline. it may well stick in one or two places. that will suppress the temperatures. also some heavy and thundery downpours in pembrokeshire over night. today we'll see a few more thundery showers. they will be isolated and moving up in the west, eventually getting into the west of scotland. in between all of that it will be dry, sunny and warm, if not hot. the highest temperatures once

again unlikely to be in the south—east, anywhere between 30 and 32. why do we are looking at temperatures from the mid 20s to the high 20s in celsius. this evening and overnight once again low cloud, mist and murk comes in from the north sea, across eastern and central scotland, north—east england. at the same time the show is will clear the north—east of scotland. there will be clear skies and it will be a muggy night with temperatures falling weigh between 12 and 17. tomorrow we start off with a low cloud, mist and fog in the east and central scotland, pushing back to the north sea coastline, burning away mostly and again showers coming up in the west. in between fine, sunny and warm. we are looking at temperatures from the mid 20s to the high 20s. it looks like on saturday we could hit 33 celsius. if that happens it will only be the fifth time in september

in the last century that we have had a temperature that high.— a temperature that high. thank you very much- — a temperature that high. thank you very much- see _ a temperature that high. thank you very much. see you _ a temperature that high. thank you very much. see you later. - we're talking about vets bills today, as the competition and markets authority is concerned that some practices are not giving their customers the best deals, or the full picture about the final price they'll have to pay. earlier we asked you to get in touch with some of your experiences — here's just a few of the many messages we've received. jon in kings lynn said: "i was charged £11250 to insert a tiny prosthesis on my yorkshire terrier�*s elbow. it broke. they agreed to do the operation again at cost price. this was £750." that is extraordinary! no name on this message but it says "my dog had a bad stomach and it cost me over £100. the medication they gave me could be bought in a well known pet shop

for £25." this one says: "my dog has 2 bad teeth. the bill was £1600 but that's only £99 per extraction. the rest was anesthetic and medical kit. one tooth fell out last night but i checked and the bill won't be halved." and chantal wrote in to say: "my kitten ziggy broke one of his back legs. he had to have sedations each time his bandage was changed and stayed at the vets for several weeks whilst receiving treatment. fortunately, i had taken out insurance. the final vet bill was £7,500." goodness me! there is extraordinary numbers. to keep those stories coming in. we're joined now by george lusty from the competition and markets authority. very good morning to you. i am not going to get you to comment on some of those we read up because we do not have the other side of the stories. i suppose what it does is

it does illustrate concerns that people have fundamentally they are not getting ripped off, i suppose is what it boils down to. we not getting ripped off, i suppose is what it boils down to.— what it boils down to. we are a nation of _ what it boils down to. we are a nation of patent _ what it boils down to. we are a nation of patent lover - what it boils down to. we are a nation of patent lover squirted | what it boils down to. we are a - nation of patent lover squirted have domestic pets. many of us became pet owners for the first time during pandemic. with other bills going up, it is important that people know exactly how much they are likely to ny- exactly how much they are likely to pay. if there is a big, unexpected bill it can have a huge impact on household budgets. we really want to hear from household budgets. we really want to hearfrom people. we are household budgets. we really want to hear from people. we are starting a broad review of the sector. we want to hear from broad review of the sector. we want to hearfrom people who have broad review of the sector. we want to hear from people who have used that, tell us about experiences. just drawing on information on what people have had to pay and the services they have had. how will you judge at any point whether what people had paid for and the treatment they have had is fair? the

resorted to making door to door enquiries himself. ifeel like it's been up to me and my family and friends to help solve this crime. i think because i was attacked and because i wasn't raped or killed, i don't think they're taking it that seriously. i'm just scared this man is going to do it again. and it is going to have more sinister consequences if he is not arrested. the met says it appears communication with the victim has been disjointed and slow at times. it says an investigation is ongoing and that it is taking the report very seriously. the weather. it will be dry, sunny and very hot across all of the capital. top temperature of 31 degrees. that's it. i'm back in half an hour.

from wandsworth prison in london by clinging to the underside daniel khalife escaped in a chef's uniform yesterday morning. thejustice secretary has ordered an urgent investigation into what happened. an urgent investigation our reporter simonjones has more. an urgent investigation currently britain's most wanted man. the hunt for daniel khalife, facing serious charges of threats to the state, is being described as urgent and extensive. despite all the security that should have been in place here at wandsworth prison, the former soldier managed to escape from the jail�*s kitchen by strapping himself to the bottom of a food—delivery van. he was wearing his distinctive chef's uniform. he could be anywhere in the country at the moment and, yes, of course we're mindful of the risk of him potentially leaving the country. we're focusing our efforts in london at the moment. so we have counter—terrorism officers now deployed across london, working with colleagues from across the metropolitan police and our partner agencies to try and find him here. he has connections to the north west of the country, so we are also working with colleagues all around the country. the hunt for daniel khalife extended to the borders, too —

additional security checks at airports and ports led to long queues forming for passengers. daniel khalifejoined the army in 2019. three years later, he became the subject of a counter—terrorism investigation. he's accused on the 2nd of january this year of planting fake bombs at the barracks in stafford, where he was based. he was arrested later that month. the charges he face include preparing an act of terrorism, and collecting information that might be useful to terrorists or enemies of the uk. i'm surprised it doesn't happen more often _ i'm surprised it doesn't happen more often you _ i'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. you look at a place like wandsworth, it's absolutely terrifying, secure and scary from the outside. inside it is abject chaos— the outside. inside it is abject chaos on— the outside. inside it is abject chaos on a _ the outside. inside it is abject chaos on a day—to—day basis. there aren't— chaos on a day—to—day basis. there aren't enough staff. the staff there aren't enough staff. the staff there are not— aren't enough staff. the staff there are not properly trained. there are are not properly trained. there are a lot— are not properly trained. there are a lot of— are not properly trained. there are a lot of very— are not properly trained. there are a lot of very vulnerable prisoners with mental health conditions and dru- with mental health conditions and drug problems that people don't know how to _ drug problems that people don't know how to deal with. and it's exceptionally dysfunctional, the processes of how they run the place

good morning. take us through the latest? so many questions for the prison service to answer. yes. latest? so many questions for the prison service to answer.- latest? so many questions for the prison service to answer. yes, it is now 24 hours _ prison service to answer. yes, it is now 24 hours since _ prison service to answer. yes, it is now 24 hours since daniel- prison service to answer. yes, it is now 24 hours since daniel khalife i now 24 hours since daniel khalife absconded. he actually came out of the front door, which you can see behind me in the prison, clinging to the bottom of the food van. it sounds like something out of a film, but it has got very serious consequences for the prison service and also for the garment. i have just spoken to the metropolitan police. they tell me there has been no breakthrough overnight. —— for the government. the manhunt is ongoing. all police forces across the uk told to be on alert. also, the uk told to be on alert. also, the port at dover are continuing with additional security checks on people leaving the country. it could be another difficult day for people at ports and airports. that is just one part of the investigation. there is also now a separate investigation by the prison service asking that

key question, how on earth could this have happened at a prison like this have happened at a prison like this one? we know thejustice secretary is demanding answers. he has held a meeting with the prison governor and also members of the prison service. but labour are saying this shows the state of the prison service. and a government that it says simply can't keep people under lock and key. in the past half an hour on breakfast we spoke to the local labour mp in this area and she said she found out in one night shift last december, only seven members of staff were available to look after 1500 prisoners. so, questions about how this place is being run, but the more immediate question, where exactly is this escaped prisoner? simon, thank you. now with the rest of the news, here is charlie. thank you. in the last hour it has been

announced the uk is rejoining the eu scientific programme horizon. the membership was lost during post—brexit negotiations. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminster. i dare say a lot of uk—based scientists will be celebrating this morning because these are significant events in terms of research and funding available? that's right. this is what a lot of scientists have been calling out for explicitly for a few years. it is three years since uk scientists, uk research institutions, lost access to this funding. a rise in europe, which stretches across eu countries and a few other associate members, which is the state is the uk will have, it is a huge programme. we are talking about £80 billion of grants over a seven—year period. uk scientists can start applying for

those grands today, which they will be delighted by. raac grands. there is an interesting political dimension to this. of course, successive prime ministers, and we have had a fair few successive prime ministers, and we have had a fairfew prime successive prime ministers, and we have had a fair few prime ministers recently, have not managed to negotiate this access. at rishi sunak, who did vote or to leave the european union in 2016, has shown repeatedly, first on northern ireland, now on this, that he prefers cooperation rather than confrontation with brussels. and i think after this we may see some other programmes are some other examples where the uk may have a closer relationship with the european union.— closer relationship with the european union. president zelensky has condemned a russian air strike on eastern ukraine, which killed at least 17 people, including a child, and injured 33 others. he described the attack, which took place yesterday in kostyantynivka, as "brazen wickedness".

and i have, um, a lot of problems, but that's not all about. i love rainbows, i love the colour yellow, and i really want to help people. this is saffie. we've been chatting for over six months now. we chat via video call, video message, like the one that you've seen here. she's autistic, she's bold, and she's ambitious. but she's also been in and out of mental health units for the past nine years. i mean, hospital, like, really sucks. i've been sectioned. there's been a lot of stress, and, um, it's hard, but i'm going to get through this and things are going to get better, or, i don't know, that's really it. saffie took thisjust a few months ago. she was at a low ebb and her weight was dangerously low. she was being treated in a hospital on a general ward, because there were no specialist beds available. saffie's got an eating disorder linked to her autism, and she says she's never really got the help she so desperately needs. they didn't tackle the root of my disorder, which was not body image concern.

for me, it was all bound up in sensory issues and rituals and rules, and keeping things the same. i wasn't allowed headphones at the table to cut out noise, being limited to three dislikes, despite all my sensory issues. i can't... i don't want to sound as if i'm complaining, but i'm very sensitive to things. every sense is very important to me. everything is amplified for me. during her latest admission, an independent panel reviewed saffie's care. they said staff did not fully understand her autism. every time saffie is admitted into hospital, her mum fears the worst. on each occasion she came out, partly weight—restored, however damaged, traumatised, and her mental state got worse each time. 200 miles away, i meet another mum who knows that fear only too well. here's zoe's bedroom. we've got all the gymnastics pictures and the _

cheerleading pictures. jean has kept zoe's bedroom exactly the same since she died three years ago. zoe was just an amazing, articulate person, - and she really- wanted to help people. but she just had so much to give this world. - zoe had been misdiagnosed as having a personality disorder. her mental health, which was already pretty fragile, began to go downhill. nobody listened to zoe - and they wouldn't listen to me. and zoe was just so desperate. ijust don't understand | why there is such a lack of understanding of autism. zoe just said, "i'm too tired. i can't fight any more. - "i can't fight. "the only way i can see to get rid of this diagnosis is to die." - zoe took her own life injune 2020. after her inquest, the coroner warned that a lack of understanding autism contributed to her death. he called for immediate action on a local and national level.

and we have discovered that zoe is one of many. our investigation found that dozens of young autistic people have died following serious failings in their care, despite the repeated warnings from coroners. this is happening on a huge scale, and what we see is a story of systemic failure. so from the moment that an autistic person is born, they're late to get diagnosed, and then there's no actual plan for providing that right support from day one, which means that they're more likely to go on to experience mental health issues, the increased likelihood of ending up in places like inpatient care, and, tragically, experiencing health problems and potentially dying earlier than you would see in the general population. the government says autism training is being rolled out and it's spending over £4 million improving services. despite experiencing those very failings, saffie is home and is determined to get better. i don't know who i would be

without units, and because of all these experiences, i want to help other people. i want to get the world understanding what it's like being autistic. she's now training to be a mental health nurse and says she is determined to protect other young people from life in a system that struggles to understand autism. ruth clegg, bbc news. we're joined now by chrissy meleady, who's the chief executive of equalities and human rights uk, and sir robert buckland, the chair of the all—party parliamentary group on autism. good morning. you have a say have a personalfamily good morning. you have a say have a personal family interest in this because your daughter has autism. i think is that it? its, because your daughter has autism. i think is that it?— think is that it? a little bit older than that- _ think is that it? a little bit older than that- my — think is that it? a little bit older than that. my family _ think is that it? a little bit older than that. my family have - think is that it? a little bit older than that. my family have lived | than that. my family have lived through— than that. my family have lived through the experience. and listening to those stories really

improve services for autistic children and young people, and yet the evidence that we have gathered, that you know all too well, is that that you know all too well, is that thatis that you know all too well, is that that is not touching the sides. what bait of this is government not getting? i bait of this is government not caettin ? ~ . bait of this is government not iiettin ? ~ ., . ., bait of this is government not caettin ? ~' ., _, ., getting? i think we have come over the last ten — getting? i think we have come over the last ten years _ getting? i think we have come over the last ten years or— getting? i think we have come over the last ten years or more, - getting? i think we have come over the last ten years or more, made i the last ten years or more, made huge _ the last ten years or more, made huge strides in understanding and being _ huge strides in understanding and being aware about autism. and there is no doubt _ being aware about autism. and there is no doubt that provision has improved _ is no doubt that provision has improved. but as chrissie is saying, the demand — improved. but as chrissie is saying, the demand is so great, and the waiting — the demand is so great, and the waiting times so long, that many people _ waiting times so long, that many people are not getting that diagnosis as early as possible. and i therefore — diagnosis as early as possible. and i therefore not getting the support that they— i therefore not getting the support that they need. certainly from my time _ that they need. certainly from my time as— that they need. certainly from my time asjustice that they need. certainly from my time as justice secretary, that they need. certainly from my time asjustice secretary, i worked to make _ time asjustice secretary, i worked to make sure that autism are neurodiversity within the criminal justice _ neurodiversity within the criminal justice system is better dealt with and the _ justice system is better dealt with and the results are that there are improvements already happening. but for people _ improvements already happening. but for people out there now, of course, that progress is too slow. for every life lost, _ that progress is too slow. for every life lost, that is a huge waste, not

the woman, who has been asked to be known as anna, says she was assaulted in gipsy hill injuly — and since the incident the met has been poor at communicating. now, she says her partner has resorted to making door to door enquiries himself. ifeel like it's been up to me and my family and friends to help solve this crime. i think because i was attacked and because i wasn't raped or killed, i don't think they're taking it that seriously. i'm just scared this man is going to do it again. and it is going to have more sinister consequences if he is not arrested. the met says it appears communication with the victim has been disjointed and slow at times. it says an investigation is ongoing and that it is taking the report very seriously. a growing number of london businesses are calling on the government to scrap vat for tourists. shops, brands and heathrow airport say london is losing shoppers to other european cities where they don't have to pay tax on items. the so—called "tourist tax" is being debated in parliament later

but the government says scrapping the benefit wouldn't help londoners. some people were coming from overseas, who've got a lot of money to spend, they're not attracted to london because they know they can get better value for money in other parts of europe that don't charge a tourist tax and they are choosing to visit instead and means we've seen a huge drop, i think, in the sort of revenue that we could be raising from some of these international visitors. london musician eddy grant, famous for the song, electric avenue, will be inducted later onto camden's music walk of fame. # we're gonna rock down to electric avenue...# he'lljoin other musical legends — including amy winehouse, david bowie and madness. the music walk of fame celebrates pioneering figures in music by embedding stones into the pavements around camden. let's take a look at the tubes now. minor delays on thejubilee line.

carrying on going. massive congratulations. my my heart was going a little bit with the nerds. we have been talking about the heat here. my goodness me, it is hot in other places. the us open, they are in the midst of a heatwave. temperatures have risen to the mid 30s. it has prompted daniil medvedev to try to stay cool with the ice drenched towel. he has warned officials that a player could die on court if they are continually made to play in these extreme conditions. yes, good morning. it's the comments from daniil medevdev, a former champion, that has sparked discussion around the temperatures players have to play in. this is what he said on court. icannot imagine. one player going to die and they're going to see. commentator: well, this is a... did you see? well, it's a very serious point that daniil medvedev�*s making and it's one that he actually has

made publicly previously. there we go, not the first time he has raised this. the match was played under a partial roof—closure to offer the players and spectators some shade. after that exchange, medvedev found a way of keeping his cool, winning the next four games to beat andrey rublev and faces carlos alcarez next. inevitably, after the match, he was asked about the issue of the heat. brutal conditions for both of us. i mean, i don't know if it could be seen through the camera but because i'm sweating so much, i use a lot of towels. i have no skin left on my nose here and here it is red. it's not because of the sun, it's not like you're burned, but i have no skin left. maybe i'm going to finish my career and nothing is going to happen and then it's fine and then i'm talking for nothing. but the question is, we don't want something to happen and then say, "oh, my god, medvedev said this a couple of years ago!" there we go. the thoughts of daniil

medvedev. players trying to keep cool out there at the moment. madison keys will face aryna sabalenka in the women's semi—final after the american knocked out wimbledon champion marketa vondrousova. keys who was a finalist at flushing meadows six years ago, proved too strong. taking the first set 6—1, before taking the next 6—4 to reach the last four. disappointment for england's women in the final t20 in derby as they suffered a shock first—ever series defeat to sri lanka who won the third match by seven wickets. signs were there from the start, dani wyatt out first ball, setting the tone for a sub par total of 116 all out. sri lanka in response set about chasing that down, with some big hitting, as they took the win with three overs to spare. this the first home t20 series that england have lost to anyone but australia in 13 years. it's always disappointing to lose a series, to be completely honest with you.

obviously, we had such an incredible ashes and i don't think that takes away from what a good team we are. louis said that to us after chelmsford that a couple of losses don't make you a bad team. and we're still learning. we're still working towards that bangladesh world cup next year. so we've still got 12 months of really planning and prepping and hopefully we'll see more polished performances by the time we get to that. the women's world cup is over, the new wsl season yet to start, but champion's league qualifying is already under way. arsenal beating swedish side linkopings 3—0 in the semi—final of the first round of qualifying. they'll now face paris fc for a place in the second round, the stage before the group stage. also through, celtic and glasgow city but cardiff city and cliftonville both lost. perhaps they are used to warm temperatures in preseason. i don't think anyone was expecting the mini heatwave we are experiencing. tough conditions for anyone playing sport

the time we get to saturday. what is happening? high pressure to the east, no pressure to the south—west. we are dragging in all the warm and hotairfrom we are dragging in all the warm and hot airfrom the we are dragging in all the warm and hot air from the continent. air quality may deteriorate in the next few days and you may notice that. you will notice a lot of dry, hot and sunny weather. some of the cloud will linger during the day and that will linger during the day and that will suppress temperatures. cloud pushing north in the irish sea and getting into western scotland. for the rest of us a lot of sunshine. temperatures widely from the mid to high 20s. locally we are looking at 30 in the south east, maybe 31, 32. this evening and overnight you see a return to low cloud, mist and fog. coming in once again across the east

of scotland and north—east england, the central belt. showers coming in again in the south—west of england. it will be a muggy night with layers of 12 to 17. built into tomorrow, a repeat performance. low cloud great mist and fog pushes back on the east coast. a lot of the fog will linger and a lot will burn off. in between and a lot will burn off. in between a lot of dry weather, sunny and warm once again. high is up to 30, the low 30s. why did the mid to high 20s. as we get into saturday, a week by the front trying to come in from the north—west bringing in more cloud across western scotland and northern ireland with some splashes of showery rain. some of that getting into wales as well. in between, further south, there will between, further south, there will be some sunshine. on saturday we could see 33 degrees in the far south—east. in the far north—west lower temperatures, round about 19 or into the low 20s. that heralds a

change in the weather because after that the weather front will try to slip south are taking rain with it and pressure conditions. no more 33, the average for this stage in september in the south east where we are expecting 33 is round about 21. you will notice the difference. i5 you will notice the difference. is the water warm, carol? hang i you will notice the difference. isj the water warm, carol? hang on you will notice the difference. is i the water warm, carol? hang on a minute, i the water warm, carol? hang on a minute. iwill— the water warm, carol? hang on a minute, i willjust _ the water warm, carol? hang on a minute, i willjust try. _ the water warm, carol? hang on a minute, i willjust try. yes, i the water warm, carol? hang on a minute, i willjust try. yes, yes i the water warm, carol? hang on a minute, i willjust try. yes, yes it| minute, i willjust try. yes, yes it is. it is quite lovely. minute, iwilljust try. yes, yes it is. it is quite lovely.— minute, i willjust try. yes, yes it is. it is quite lovely. shame not to io in. is. it is quite lovely. shame not to go in- lovely _ is. it is quite lovely. shame not to go in- lovely to — is. it is quite lovely. shame not to go in. lovely to see _ is. it is quite lovely. shame not to go in. lovely to see this _ is. it is quite lovely. shame not to go in. lovely to see this morning. | go in. lovely to see this morning. people swimming this morning, enjoying themselves. before sir ken dodd died five years ago — at the age of 90 — he asked his wife lady anne to burn the 1,000 or so notebooks he'd filled with jokes, thoughts and theories. thankfully, for doddy�*s fans, she decided to go against his wishes — and this weekend a selection of those notebooks can be seen as part of a new exhibition

dedicated to the entertainer. colin paterson has had an exclusive first look. sir ken dodd's notebooks can now only be touched whilst wearing white gloves. even if you were married to him. that's the wonderful thing about museums. they treat everything with such respect. we could never afford meat pies. i'll never forget the times when my mother would treat us by putting a crust over the dustbin. for more than six decades, ken dodd was one of the uk's most popular stand—up comics. when you dream, do you dream in technicolor or black and white? i always dream in black and white now. well, i mean, at my age it's mostly repeats. in his house, he kept more than a thousand notebooks — full ofjokes, musings and his thoughts on life, and left his wife, anne, with very specific instructions about what was to happen to them. in the latter years of his life, he did say, "you will burn them everything when i'm gone. "you will burn all my notebooks, won't you? and i promised — it was easierjust to agree.

you can't say, "no, i won't." he might have burnt them himself. he was a very private person. i'm interested in this one because he is so famous for his long shows and how they go on for hours. oh, yes! "i'm spoiling the quality of my life by being so self—indulgent and egotistical. i must take some material out." and i used to say, "really?" especially in the latter years. i used to say, "shorter shows, longer life." # happiness, happiness # the greatest gift that we possess.# so what made you decide to keep them? i never thought of burning them. i knew i wasn't going to. i knew i couldn't. not because i thought they were valuable, but i thought they were valuable because they were unique. next year, liverpool will be the city of culture. we're having evening classes in graffiti and the dockers are having ballet lessons. i love the fact he can still make you laugh. he does because i've not seen that page either. how much have you learned about him from reading? 0h. it's not...

i always thought he was clever, but i found out how much more clever he was than i realised. isn't that awful? the final preparations are being made for a new exhibition entirely dedicated to ken dodd at the museum of liverpool. this is the moggy coat. probably one of his most iconic costumes. this whole section is about ken, the legend. this is dickie mint, which is my favourite object, i think, in the whole exhibition. but the notebooks are the real highlight. they've never been seen before, ever, by anyone outside of ken's house. and they give a little insight into his vulnerabilities as well, which you don't often see. he was the ultimate performer. so as soon as there was a camera on him, he knew it was there and he was great, and he was amazing. but just to see that little bit of uncertainty, i think that the public will be quite surprised by that. "i can't make you laugh. the laugh is there." and as for what ken would have made of his wife going against his wishes... i wonder if it would be...

"i told you what to do." i feel surely he's put so much work into that. surely he wouldn't have liked to see it go up in flames. i couldn't have seen it go up in flames. how much do you miss him? oh, god! every day. every day that he's around me. he's in the house with me. i talk to him. # happiness.# colin paterson, bbc news, liverpool. happiness! he was such an extraordinary character. julian clary is here on the sofa with us this morning. did you ever meet him? he the sofa with us this morning. did you ever meet him?— the sofa with us this morning. did you ever meet him? he was wonderful, wonderful to — you ever meet him? he was wonderful, wonderful to see _ you ever meet him? he was wonderful, wonderful to see that. _ you ever meet him? he was wonderful, wonderful to see that. there _ you ever meet him? he was wonderful, wonderful to see that. there is - wonderful to see that. there is probably a generation of people who would not know who ken dodd was. he
