6:01 am
of thrills and spills. and whilst we may have had heat to match that in marseille last week, this week is all change. things are about to change much cooler, and with it a little bit of rain at times, too. iwill with it a little bit of rain at times, too. i will have all the details on breakfast. it's monday 11th september. morocco faces a race against time to save those trapped under the rubble following friday's earthquake, which has killed more than 2,100 people. villagers in the atlas mountains have been using their bare hands to help rescuers search for people who may have survived. the uk has sent 60 search—and—rescue specialists — asjoe inwood reports. high in the atlas mountains, the grim work of recovering bodies continues. the desperate search for survivors continues. emergency services do what they can hear.
6:02 am
these remote communities didn't stand a chance against one of the most powerful earthquakes this country has ever seen. help is yet to reach the village of imine tala, where they are yet to count the dead. translation: the bodies of my son and his wife are under the rubble. i there was no—one there to recover the bodies. we ask you to make our voice heard by the authorities. we want to open the road. imine tala, which was close to the epicentre, has been all but destroyed. many who survived the initial quake are now homeless or in mourning. translation: people i are very depressed here. the village of imine tala is completely demolished. there's no—one left to help. the cliff fell on them. the people are still under the rubble and no—one can remove the stones, and the authorities haven't sent the equipment to remove them, as they haven't done so for three days.
6:03 am
you can smell the corpses everywhere. the earthquake struck on friday evening, just south of the historic city of marrakesh. its centre — a unesco world heritage site — was badly damaged. help is arriving — but slowly. a team of spanish volunteers has alreadyjoined the rescue efforts. a 60—strong british group is also on their way. moroccans have been queuing up to donate blood — the national football team amongst thosejoining in. translation: we will do whatever we can. . when we heard that blood donations were needed, we wanted to help. if it was blood they need, we will donate blood. and if they need more than that, we will help them more. back up in the atlas mountains, entire villages have been wiped out. once the rescue and recovery is over, they will have to try and rebuild — both their homes and their lives.
6:04 am
joe inwood, bbc news. let's speak now to our correspondent tom bateman, who is in the atlas mountains. we see some aid has started arriving, but the location we are talking about, it is such a challenge. talking about, it is such a challenge-— talking about, it is such a challenge. talking about, it is such a challenue. ~ , ~ ., challenge. absolutely. aid and critically rescue _ challenge. absolutely. aid and critically rescue work, - challenge. absolutely. aid and critically rescue work, because challenge. absolutely. aid and - critically rescue work, because many people have spent a third night out in the open and we are seeing rubble strewn across streets of collapsed homes. you heard about some of the villages completely wiped out. here in moulay brahim, many homes destroyed. i was talking to one man with his wife, they are living in a van with a tent outside at the moment. he has said that here they have already pulled a0 bodies out of the rubble, and much of that involves local residents by themselves digging with their bare
6:05 am
hands. a big problem has been getting that heavy machinery up the rock strewn winding roads to this very remote region. wejust made rock strewn winding roads to this very remote region. we just made the drive from marrakesh and as we tried to get to this village, one road was completely blocked. there was a large tent there with people sleeping inside, so some aid getting to these parts, but a lot of it is being delivered by charities. we have seen on state media images of the american airforce have seen on state media images of the american air force airlifting some people to safety and delivering aid, but that is really the exception and these areas —— the moroccan air force. we know so far that four other countries have been invited by moroccans to come and help with the effort, the uk among them. 60 rescuers, dogs, listening equipment on its way. but have you have been hearing many residents are saying it still seems very slow and
6:06 am
uncoordinated in terms of the response locally here.- uncoordinated in terms of the response locally here. tom bateman, thank ou response locally here. tom bateman, thank you for— response locally here. tom bateman, thank you for that _ response locally here. tom bateman, thank you for that update _ response locally here. tom bateman, thank you for that update from - thank you for that update from morocco. we will speak to tom later in the programme, as well. sally has more of the news today. the president of the spanish football federation, luis rubiales, has resigned — three weeks after kissing a player on the lips when spain won the world cup. jenni hermoso says she did not consent to the kiss, and has started legal action. rubiales initially refused to step down, despite facing widespread criticism. joe lynskey has more. it was the image that overshadowed spain's world cup winning moment. a kiss from the federation president that's brought three weeks of fallout. now, luis rubiales has stood down from his post. he gave this interview to piers morgan uncensored. you're going to resign? i'm going to, yes, because i cannot continue my work. in this situation now, the more intelligent and the thing i have to do.
6:07 am
the player he kissed, jenni hermoso, said it wasn't consensual, and football's world governing body had already taken action — rubiales is currently suspended by fifa from all football activity. he added in his statement... last month, rubiales had refused to resign, but as he stayed at the helm, more and more spanish players said they'd refuse to play. much of the women's squad remain on strike. the pressure has really been insurmountable, i think, for a very long time, and it really has been increasing over the last few weeks. it's come from everywhere across spanish society, as well as internationally. i think the tipping point wasjenni hermoso last week handing in an official complaint to the prosecutor's office, and now opening up criminal proceedings against him. and i think also him talking to his daughters, to his father, them saying to him, "it's time to preserve a bit of dignity here."
6:08 am
rubiales now follows the winning coach in leaving his position. the former president says he wants to bring stability as spain bid to host the men's world cup. for the women's team, this was a trophy that brought a split like none before. now the man at the centre has stepped back from the game. joe lynskey, bbc news. teaching suicide prevention in schools, and better support for middle—aged men are among 100 actions outlined in the government's new suicide prevention strategy, as it pledges to reduce the number of deaths in england within two and a half years. frances read reports. what i remember most about tom is his cheeky smile and cheeky sense of humour. that's probably the thing i miss most about him. tom parfitt, in his father's words. tom killed himself two years ago, but it's cases like tom's that many say could have been prevented. and now the government in england has set out more than 100 actions
6:09 am
as part of a strategy to reduce the numbers of those taking their own lives. with tom's case, he was an extremely bright young man. he was studying philosophy at st andrew's university, a straight—a student. however, he was also diagnosed as autistic. his autism made him very open to being influenced online. the government has set out several groups of people who will be targeted in particular with this strategy, and i welcome that. with something like this previously, would it have helped tom, would it have helped your family? yes — without doubt, it would have helped tom. i guess, for me, we need to see how effective it's going to be. i think that it's a very challenging space. 5,000 people in england die from suicide every year. among those most at risk — young people and people with autism,
6:10 am
middle—aged men who have some of the highest rates, and women who've given birth — it's the leading cause of deaths up to a year after the end of pregnancy. the government says it wants to reduce the numbers over the next couple of years. among the plans — creating a new alert system to notify authorities of emerging risks, giving fresh guidance for first responders, and making sure there's surveillance of trends — such as online. the plans have been largely welcomed, and last month a £10 million suicide prevention grant fund was launched. but many say the cash will need to keep coming. no plan is going to work without adequate funding — it's a bit like having a car with no petrol. and whilst the plan is new, much of the funding isn't new, and some of that funding does come to an end shortly. so if we are really going to be successful and achieve the ambitions and all of the really important areas of work identified in this strategy, then it is going to need consistent funding, as well. in all of this, support
6:11 am
forfamilies is key. pregnancy charities say hundreds of babies are being left without mothers because of a gap in care for those experiencing mental—health issues during or after pregnancy. this national strategy aiming to finally close that gap. frances read, bbc news. daniel khalife is due to appear at westminster magistrates' court charged with escaping from custody at hmp wandsworth. the 21—year—old was arrested on a canal towpath in west london on saturday, four days after he escaped. he was pulled off a bike by a plainclothes counter—terrorism officer. rishi sunak is facing pressure from within his own party to take stronger action against china — after a parliamentary researcher was arrested under the official secrets act, accused of spying for beijing. some senior conservative mps have called for china to be categorised as a threat to uk interests and national security. the home secretary says
6:12 am
she's commissioned advice on whether american bully xl dogs should be banned. suella braverman says an attack on an 11—year—old girl in birmingham showed the breed posed a "lethal danger", particularly to children. two men who intervened were also injured. the autumn covid and flu vaccines are being rolled out in england and also in wales from today. care home residents, anyone aged 65 and over, and front—line health and social care workers will be offered the jabs first. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes reports. so, two vaccines today, so it's one in each arm. for most of us, this is now a pretty familiar routine. the autumn vaccination programme — flu and covid jabs — first rolled out in scotland last week. from today, england and wales follow suit — all part of the effort to protect those most at risk this winter. those eligible for the autumn covid vaccine roll—out include older adults in care homes, all adults aged 65 and over, and front—line health and social care workers.
6:13 am
i really do urge people to come forward and get protected. it's the same as it has been in previous campaigns. if we get in touch with you, if you're asked to come forward for a vaccination, please do, because it's our best way of keeping you and your family safe. the roll—out has been brought forward because of concerns over a new variant known as ba.2.86. the latest guidance from the uk health security agency is that it's likely to be circulating in the community. that doesn't mean it's necessarily a more severe variant, but experts advise a precautionary approach. the nhs says those eligible for the autumn jab will receive an invitation to book an appointment. dominic hughes, bbc news. suddenly, that summer weather has vanished, hasn't it? flash flooding caused chaos for those heading home from the great north run yesterday. the tyne and wear metro was flooded,
6:14 am
trains had to be cancelled, and motorists reported long delays on the roads. isn't it interesting that it ended up isn't it interesting that it ended up like that? because the day started so warm and everybody was worried about getting too hot while they were running. it is worried about getting too hot while they were running.— they were running. it is almost troical. they were running. it is almost trepical- matt _ they were running. it is almost tropical. matt can _ they were running. it is almost tropical. matt can tell- they were running. it is almost tropical. matt can tell us - they were running. it is almost| tropical. matt can tell us more. all change. the unprecedented run of september heat resulted in some of these are spectacular storms. 0ver these are spectacular storms. over 13,000 lightning strikes across the uk yesterday. it means our weather is on the change to something cooler for all of us through this coming week. there will be a bit of rain at times, but it won't be a wash—out. there will be some days where the sunshine will still dominate. this morning, here is where the wet start is, past parts of northern ireland, the borders of northern england and southern scotland where we have the
6:15 am
heaviest showers at the moment. slowly merging southwards, fresher air to the north and west. it means, after a misty and murky start across much of england and wales, some sunny spells, particularly to the south and the. cloud will increase to south—west england, wales, the midlands through this afternoon bringing one or two showers. the thunderstorm possible, not as severe as yesterday. some longer spells of rain in the irish sea, across east of northern ireland, southern and eastern scotland, where as to the north and west we will see the sunshine return. a few isolated showers. it will feel fresher, temperatures only around 15 degrees through the afternoon, compared to 28 at the end of last week. 26, 27 still possible, humid to the south and east of the country and tonight it will be another muggy night, 15 or16 it will be another muggy night, 15 or 16 below. 0utbreaks it will be another muggy night, 15 or 16 below. outbreaks of rain pushing southwards a crossing and wales, far south as the midlands and a much fresher at night for scotland and northern ireland, temperatures dropping as low as three degrees.
6:16 am
thank you for now. mps will question senior civil servants at the department for education today about what's being done for schools affected by the weakened concrete, raac. the public accounts committee will hold what it's calling an "unplanned session" — following concerns around the safety of school buildings. ellie price reports. it's the second week of the new school year, and already we've learned far more than we ever wanted to about reinforced autoclave aerated concrete — or raac. 19 schools in england — affecting just under 10,000 pupils — had to delay the start of the new term because of it. 2a schools are using at least some remote learning as their buildings go out of action. this afternoon in westminster, mps on the public accounts committee will grill two top civil servants from the department for education. the chair — meg hillier mp — said she would be seeking serious reassurance from the government about what steps it's taking to grip and resolve the situation, and to prevent what she described as a crisis becoming any worse
6:17 am
than it already was. most of the schools across the uk aren't affected, but 1a7 schools in england, two in wales, and a0 in scotland have a problem with this concrete. the numbers in all the nations are expected to rise as more investigations are completed. in england, the government set a deadline for last friday for schools to tell them whether their buildings contain raac. the dfe say they will be collating that data this week, and conducting more building surveys on the affected areas. this weekend, heathrow and gatwick airport said they were monitoring raac in their sites. a number of hospitals, universities and theatres have also identified it. ellie price, bbc news. let's take a look at today's papers. many of them follow up on the arrest of a parliamentary researcher, amid claims he was spying for china. the telegraph says security services are poised to unmask more chinese spies in the coming months.
6:18 am
the guardian reports that the uk is facing what it calls a "growing epidemic" of preventable cancer cases, with 18a,000 this year caused by poor lifestyle habits like smoking, drinking and sunburn.

6:21 am
that you're too fat — i don't think that's preparing you for anything. these are the former dancers speaking out about what they say is a toxic culture of body shaming and bullying at two of britain's top ballet schools. i think it broke me a bit. i think it broke me, and i don't think i ever really got put back together. every year, hundreds of children audition for a coveted place at the royal ballet school in london and elmhurst ballet school in birmingham — widely regarded as among the best schools in the world. there, from age 11 up, they train like elite athletes. ellen elphick attended both schools, and says it was a single comment from a teacher during parents' evening at elmhurst that set her on a path to an eating disorder that lasted 15 years. she sat with my parents, basically said — to their faces, whilst i was sat there — that i was soft and i needed to tone up.
6:22 am
i felt really ashamed that my body wasn't right, and that it was so bad that she had to talk to my parents about it. i was 13! then i started making myself sick. and that's when i won all the prizes. it is expected that ballet dancers should be slim and athletic, but the industry has had a reputation for favouring extremely thin ballerinas. in 2009, aged 16, ellen got into the royal ballet school. two weeks in, she says she had a one—on—one with a teacher who described the line a ballerina's figure was supposed to take. she just basically said to me, "if i had a knife, this is what i would cutoff." and she literally cut my entire bum off, kind of all of half my thigh, basically, and then a third of my calf. ellen is now taking legal action against the royal ballet school for the treatment she says she suffered there.
6:23 am
gayle sturrock is a psychotherapist who has counselled hundreds of dancers. they would have anxiety, panic attacks, self—harm, suicide attempts, depression. it's an educational setting, you're a developing young person. if you're told you're not good enough, you're useless, constantly, that gets hard—wired in. you know, you believe that after a while, don't you? jacob tidmarsh was 11 when he joined royal ballet school in 201a. he says some of his teachers were unpredictable and cruel. for the two and a half years i was at the ballet school, i was... ..intimidated, humiliated and left feeling very scared and, quite frankly, broken. i felt that, when i was upset, i couldn't ever express that in the ballet class because it would just bring about more cruel behaviour. you don't prepare anyone for anything by cruelty.
6:24 am
i'm not saying that the teachers are bad people — they think they're doing the right thing. they're doing exactly what was done to them. both schools dispute the accounts given to the bbc, and say their own records differ. in a statement, the royal ballet school says nothing is more important to us than the happiness and continued well—being of its students, and that it's continuously improving and innovating in order to protect their health and welfare. elmhurst says it promotes good physical and mental health, and acts whenever issues are identified. it added that it has a modern teaching approach, placing highly disciplined training within the framework of strong safeguarding principles. while the ballet schools insist they're doing everything they can to improve the culture, these former students believe much still has to be done to ensure the safety and well—being of their successors. mark daly, bbc news.

6:52 am
temperatures on thursday 1a to 21. here is what the rest of the weekend into the weekend looks like. expect wet weather at times with some sunshine. much cooler than we have been used to. back to you. it is autumn- _ more than 7,000 seabirds have died from avian flu at colonies across the uk this year, according to the national trust. the charity has announced that the farne islands, off the northumberland coast, will stay closed to visitors, while they try to reduce the spread of the outbreak. fiona trott has more. on their way to work. their office is an island off the northumberland coast. we'll maybe do the checks first for any dead birds on the island and then crack on with the otherjobs. inner farne has been a part of their lives for years, but they never thought it would be like this. please make sure that you dip your feet in disinfectant before you leave the jetty. these days, all
6:53 am
precautions are needed. they'll do anything to stop the spread of avian flu. here's why. hundreds and hundreds of carcasses have been collected over the past 18 months. today's research shows the number of dead birds here has reduced and they wonder if quicker collections are the reason why. but, different and rarer species are perishing. in terms of individual species, for species like the terns, they... there are fewer of them to begin with anyway. so their loss this year is significant and is worrying. and here, at neighbouring long nanny, hundreds of arctic terns have also died, along with a0% of their chicks. at cemlyn in north wales, more than half of the common terns have been lost. the national trust says the government's been concentrating on how to protect the poultry industry and more needs to be done. it's only latterly that they've started focusing on the impacts on our wild birds, and we need some
6:54 am
catching up to do now. we're asking for urgent action from the government to help support greater collaboration between themselves, research scientists, as well as conservation organisations, like the national trust, such that we can combine our efforts and enable us to build an evidence base. defra says it shares concerns about the impact on seabirds and is aiming to publish its plan on how to deal with them later this year. it's also working with advisers to assess the wild bird population in wales. inner farne a globally significant breeding site for the charity, and it needs paying visitors. this is the closest they can get. right now, we're the only ones allowed on inner farne, and that feels really strange. normally, at this time of year, there would be about 500 people a day coming on to the island.
6:55 am
but bird flu is still having a devastating effect. and, for the rangers who work here, it's really tough. i walk past one of my arctic tern nests and the chick was so close to fledging and had obviouslyjust died. and i was doing my daily checks and the adult was kind of just sat there thinking, "oh, what do i do now?," kind of thing. and yeah, it was kind of gut—wrenching, really. but there's hope. the rangers are working hard to give the birds a fighting chance for when they return next year. so we're just pulling up this hemlock, which is a plant that dominates the area, so that there's more kind of sand and gravel exposed for the arctic terns' nesting area. today's research raises important questions. are different species doing better because they're becoming immune? are others doing worse because of how they interact? that's why the national trust is calling for more research and more guidance to protect these precious birds. fiona trott, bbc news,

help is yet to reach the village of imine tala, where they are yet to count the dead. translation: the bodies of my son i and his wife are under the rubble. i there was no—one there to recover the bodies. we ask you to make our voice heard by the authorities. we want to open the road. imine tala, which was close to the epicentre, has been all but destroyed. many who survived the initial quake are now homeless or in mourning. translation: people i are very depressed here. the village of imine tala is completely demolished. there's no—one left to help. the cliff fell on them. the people are still under the rubble and no—one can remove the stones, and the authorities haven't sent the equipment to remove them, as they haven't done so for three days. you can smell the corpses everywhere. the earthquake struck on friday evening, just south of the historic city of marrakesh.
7:03 am
its centre — a unesco world heritage site — was badly damaged. help is arriving — but slowly. a team of spanish volunteers has alreadyjoined the rescue efforts. a 60—strong british group is also on their way. moroccans have been queuing up to donate blood — the national football team amongst thosejoining in. translation: we will do whatever we can. . when we heard that blood donations were needed, we wanted to help. if it was blood they need, we will donate blood. and if they need more than that, we will help them more. back up in the atlas mountains, entire villages have been wiped out. once the rescue and recovery is over, they will have to try and rebuild — both their homes and their lives. joe inwood, bbc news.
7:04 am
let's speak now to our correspondent tom bateman who is in the atlas mountains. as we have been hearing, every minute counts in a situation like this. what are you seeing in terms of age arriving?— this. what are you seeing in terms of age arriving? where we are in the villare of of age arriving? where we are in the village of moulay — of age arriving? where we are in the village of moulay brahim, _ of age arriving? where we are in the village of moulay brahim, very i village of moulay brahim, very little of it at all. as we have daybreak it is revealing once again the level of destruction here. it also brings of course some opportunity for locals here to continue searching but they have been having to do it very much on their own. i spoke to one man as we arrived here who said that in the last a8 hours villagers have pulled a0 people, dead, from the rubble, a0 bodies. i asked whether he believed there were people still trapped alive, he simply shrugged his shoulders and said he just didn't know. the big problem here is about accessibility. it is very rugged. as
7:05 am
we drove up we were unable to get our car we drove up we were unable to get ourcarup to we drove up we were unable to get our car up to this spot here. we had to walk to this particular point. what is critical in the hours and days after an earthquake like this is the need to get heavy lifting machinery, to try to get that rubble out if there are any people still trapped alive to try to find them. that seems almost impossible at a spot like this. now, moroccan state tv has shown images of airlifts, of aid supplies, of rescuers to some of these much more remote regions, some of these areas wiped out. some residents talk about the response that just seems to slow, residents talk about the response thatjust seems to slow, too uncoordinated. in the meantime the moroccans have allowed international rescue and age to come in but only for a country so far. it does include the uk, the uk authorities are saying last night that they would be 60 rescuers plus dogs and also a specialist listening equipment. the challenges here remain great in a region, the worst

7:07 am
the player he kissed, jenni hermoso, said it wasn't consensual, and football's world governing body had already taken action — rubiales is currently suspended by fifa from all football activity. he added in his statement... "waiting and holding on is not going to contribute last month, rubiales had refused to resign, but as he stayed at the helm, more and more spanish players said they'd refuse to play. much of the women's squad remain on strike. the pressure has really been insurmountable, i think, for a very long time, and it really has been increasing over the last few weeks. it's come from everywhere across spanish society, as well as internationally. i think the tipping point wasjenni hermoso last week handing in an official complaint to the prosecutor's office, and now opening up criminal proceedings against him. and i think also him talking to his daughters, to his father, them saying to him,
7:08 am
"it's time to preserve a bit of dignity here." rubiales now follows the winning coach in leaving his position. the former president says he wants to bring stability as spain bid to host the men's world cup. for the women's team, this was a trophy that brought a split like none before. now the man at the centre has stepped back from the game. joe lynskey, bbc news. the home secretary says she's commissioned advice on whether american bully xl dogs should be banned. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffmanjoins us now from westminster. good morning. can you tell me what is behind this latest line of news? very strong language from the home secretary last night, clear and lethal danger, and i think if anyone has seen the video clip that was doing the rounds at the weekend of an attack by one of these dogs on an 11—year—old girl in birmingham, and on two men trying to help her, i
7:09 am
think they will understand at least why the home secretary felt she had to say something. she says she has commissioned advice from officials on whether it might be possible to find a way to ban these dogs. the answer is, it is pretty complicated. there are a few different reasons for that. one is that it is actually up for that. one is that it is actually up to the environment department to decide whether these dogs get added to the list of dangerous dogs. is there are very few breeds of dogs, four breeds, that are currently banned, and that is because it is quite hard to find a way to specifically ban one breed without ending up inadvertently banning some sort of cross breeds or similar breeds, so these are all practical issues. but i think what you have from the video doing the rounds of the weekend come from the campaign from the mother of another child who was attacked by one of these dogs and sadly lost their life, is you have a great deal of public pressure and when you get a great deal of public pressure, you get major
7:10 am
political pressure. and so i expect we will hear more from suella braverman about ways the government can act against these dogs in the near future. can act against these dogs in the near future-— near future. henry, thanks very much. rishi sunak is facing pressure from within his own party to take stronger action against china. it comes after a parliamentary researcher was arrested under the official secrets act, accused of spying for beijing. some senior conservative mps have called for china to be categorised as a threat to uk interests and national security. the german car manufacturer bmw is expected to announce a £600 million investment in its mini factory in oxford. it will be used to produce a new generation of electric cars. the government is among those providing funding, thought to be around £75 million, and says the decision will secure a,000 jobs. 21—year—old daniel khalife is due to appear at westminster magistrates court charged with escaping from custody at hmp wandsworth.
7:11 am
anna fosterjoins us now from outside court. what can we expect from the hearing? good morning. it will almost certainly be brief, coming less than a8 hours after daniel khalife was arrested on a canal towpath in northolt after a huge manhunt. he was on the run for four days and stands accused of escaping from wandsworth prison by managing to attach himself to the bottom of a food truck that was making a delivery. we will remember, of course, for several days there was that huge operation at ports and airports, police officers right across the country were involved in trying to track him down. he will appear in court because he was already under remand charged under the terrorism act so he will appear in court this morning and he will almost certainly not be granted bail, which is one of the things that these early hearing sent to
7:12 am
deal with. there's also a spotlight now on once with prison itself, the justice secretary telling laura kuenssberg yesterday that around inmates had been moved from there. he said protocols were in place and the question now is how carefully and how strictly they were being adhered to. is and how strictly they were being adhered to-_ and how strictly they were being adhered to. , , . adhered to. is very much indeed. -- thank ou adhered to. is very much indeed. -- thank you very _ adhered to. is very much indeed. -- thank you very much _ adhered to. is very much indeed. -- thank you very much indeed. - flash flooding caused chaos for those heading home from the great north run yesterday. all those brave people, well done to everyone who took part. this is what happened at the end of the day. the tyne and wear metro was flooded, trains had to be cancelled and motorists reported long delays on the roads. don't know what was worse, trying to drive through that or run through it. , , .,. drive through that or run through it. , , ., . yes! we've all seen action movies in which the hero cop commandeers a random bystander�*s vehicle to chase down a baddie. usually it's a car — but it turns out a child's bike will also do thejob.

7:27 am
as a 21—year—old man is charged with escaping from wandsworth prison last week, an inmate has been stabbed there. the man is in a critical condition and was taken to a major trauma centre after the london air ambulance flew to the prison to help. wandsworth prison has faced increased scrutiny after events since wednesday. a man aged in his 50s has been knocked down by a car and and killed near royal oak underground station. it happened in the early hours of yesterday morning, after which police arrested a man in his 20s driving a blue mercedes, on suspicion of driving while unfit through drugs. police are appealing for witnesses who saw what happened on harrow road. residents in an area of south london have voiced concerns about smoke from a fire, which started on friday and continued over the weekend at a waste disposal site in herne hill. london fire brigade say it started on shakespeare road and is under control although the fire is "still producing smoke." nearby residents are told to keep windows and doors closed.
7:28 am
while people in other london boroughs have complained of the impact of the ongoing smoke. the hugely popular elizabeth line service — has proved to be missing the mark when it comes to reliability. figures show that nearly one in 10 trains were cancelled from around mid—july to mid—august — giving it the worst rail figures in the country. transport for london apologised for what it said were a "number of recent issues." in the past six days alone, there have been problems due to a signalfailure, overhead line problems, a faulty train and a person on the track. let's take a look at the tubes now. jubilee line, delays due to shortage of trains. now on to the weather with kate. good morning. the trend this week is for the temperatures to get a little cooler
7:29 am
and a little fresher. but, today, it is still feeling really rather humid. we've got some cloud around this morning, but it will start to break up. we'll see some sunny spells developing. the temperature today getting back up into the high twenties — around 27 celsius. there is a little more cloud around today, so perhaps not quite as warm as yesterday. now, overnight tonight, we'll see cloud increasing coming and going. with that, the chance of a shower. it is going to be another sticky night, 1a to 16 celsius the minimum. now, a frontjust starts to move south tomorrow. that's eventually going to bring this cooler air, but it really is going to take its time. the cloud will increase after a bright start tomorrow. the chance of some thundery showers, as we head through the day. but temperatures that bit cooler, 23 celsius, the maximum. it's going to be a fresher start on wednesday morning as well. should see plenty of sunshine, though. and as we head towards thursday, with the sunshine, the temperature actually getting back up into the mid twenties. finally, a new, free exhibition looking at how fashion and design can be used as a force for social change is to be held by the london college of fashion. it doesn't open for a few weeks

but there are some images of what to expect on our website. take a look if you can. goodbye for now. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. this morning, the government has published its long—awaited suicide prevention strategy for england, which aims to reduce the number of deaths within two and a half years. there are more than 100 proposals in the new document, and here to discuss them is the minister for mental health, maria caulfield. good morning. thank you forjoining us. it is exactly 11 years ago to the days since the last silicide strategy. in the meantime, many lives have been lost. —— suicide. why has it taken so long? it is really important _ why has it taken so long? it is really important to _ why has it taken so long? it 3 really important to have made progress which has been made since that time. we saw a 20% reduction
7:31 am
compared with two decades ago. since before the pandemic, progress started to plateau. we haven't seen a huge increase in numbers and haven't made any further progress in reducing their numbers. that is why we are bringing forward the strategy now. there have been 5000 deaths by suicide each year. there are particular groups of the population more at risk. middle—aged men are more at risk. middle—aged men are more at risk than the average population. important to bring up forward so we can keep on with the process of reducing the suicide rate further. , ., ., process of reducing the suicide rate further. , . ., , ., further. use a weight had stalled renerall further. use a weight had stalled generally since _ further. use a weight had stalled generally since 2019. _ further. use a weight had stalled generally since 2019. rates i further. use a weight had stalled - generally since 2019. rates amongst children have increased in the last few years. you say you will bring those numbers down within the next two and a half years. by how many? why two and a half years? we two and a half years. by how many? why two and a half years?— two and a half years. by how many? why two and a half years? we want to see numbers — why two and a half years? we want to see numbers reducing _ why two and a half years? we want to see numbers reducing as _ why two and a half years? we want to see numbers reducing as quickly - why two and a half years? we want to see numbers reducing as quickly as i see numbers reducing as quickly as

possible. in the five year strategy, many lives could be lost and we want to save as many lives as possible. for example, it is the leading cause of death in new and pregnant mums. that is a shocking statistic, that it is the leading cause of death. work has been going on in terms of setting up maternity facilities across the country to support new mums. we want to make suicide everyone�*s business. everyone can make a difference. for middle—aged men, two thirds who take their lives by suicide had been in touch with a public facing organisation in the months leading up to a suicide. knowing who is at risk and the pressures that can trigger intention full—service side where they are asking people if they are ok, helping them with whatever problems they are facing. —— intention for

7:36 am
not used to before. it is about schools and universities. that is why we are rolling out mental health support teams in school. we want to increase that to to cover 50% of schools in a 12 month period. we are supporting something like 3 million children with mental health support teams. teachers are saying the difference it is making are not only providing mental health support but by raising awareness of what good mental health is like and asking for help if you are coming to a point of crisis or a period of challenge in your life and teaching young people how to cope is fundamental going forward in terms of reducing that suicide rate.— forward in terms of reducing that suicide rate. three dads and other campaigners _ suicide rate. three dads and other campaigners were _ suicide rate. three dads and other campaigners were welcome - suicide rate. three dads and other campaigners were welcome that. l suicide rate. three dads and other- campaigners were welcome that. there is a bigger picture, people are worried about the cost of living and health concerns and education pressures and the government should be tackling the causes, the root

good morning, i'm asad ahmad. as a 21—year—old man is charged with escaping from wandsworth prison last week, an inmate has been stabbed at the prison. the man is in a critical condition and was taken to a major trauma centre after the london air ambulance flew to the prison to help him. wandsworth prison has faced increased scrutiny after events since wednesday. a man aged in his 50s has been knocked down by a car and and killed near royal oak underground station. it happened in the early hours of yesterday morning — after which police arrested a man in his 20s driving a blue mercedes on suspicion of driving while unfit through drugs. police are appealing for witnesses who saw what happened on harrow road. residents in an area of south london have voiced concerns about smoke the hugely popular elizabeth line service has proved to be missing the mark when it comes to reliability. figures show that nearly one in ten trains were cancelled from around mid—july to mid—august — giving it the worst rail figures in the country. transport for london

the rubble following friday's earthquake, which has killed more than 2,100 people. villagers in the atlas mountains have been using their bare hands to help rescuers search for people who may have survived. the uk has sent 60 search—and—rescue specialists — asjoe inwood reports. high in the atlas mountains, the desperate search for survivors continues. in the town of moulay brahim, emergency services do what they can. these remote communities didn't stand a chance against one of the most powerful earthquakes this country has ever seen. help is yet to reach the village of imine tala, where they are yet to count the dead. translation: the bodies of my son i and his wife are under the rubble. i there was no—one there to recover the bodies. we ask you to make our voice heard by the authorities. we want to open the road.
8:02 am
imine tala, which was close to the epicentre, has been all but destroyed. many who survived the initial quake are now homeless or in mourning. translation: people i are very depressed here. the village of imine tala is completely demolished. there's no—one left to help. the cliff fell on them. the people are still under the rubble and no—one can remove the stones, and the authorities haven't sent the equipment to remove them, as they haven't done so for three days. you can smell the corpses everywhere. the earthquake struck on friday evening, just south of the historic city of marrakesh. its centre — a unesco world heritage site — was badly damaged. help is arriving — but slowly. a team of spanish volunteers has alreadyjoined the rescue efforts. a 60—strong british group is also on their way. moroccans have been queuing up to donate blood —
8:03 am
the national football team amongst thosejoining in. translation: we will do whatever we can. i when we heard that blood donations were needed, we wanted to help. if it was blood they need, we will donate blood. and if they need more than that, we will help them more. back up in the atlas mountains, entire villages have been wiped out. once the rescue and recovery is over, they will have to try and rebuild — both their homes and their lives. joe inwood, bbc news. the search and recovery operation goes on. let's speak now to our correspondent tom bateman, who is in the atlas mountains. we have seen some help beginning to arrive but it is a real challenge, given the location.—

8:05 am
here. there are badly damaged or collapsed homes. the critical things in the hours and days after the earthquake by getting in heavy lifting machinery with rescuers who can use it, and getting that here has proved so far almost impossible. that moroccans have allowed in some international help. the uk sending 60 rescuers and dogs and listening equipment and other countries sending in rescue teams, as well, but it is getting to this dilemma for these spots, because there are many villages, half a million people across this region as a whole, is proving extremely challenging. tam proving extremely challenging. tom bateman, thank _ proving extremely challenging. tom bateman, thank you very much indeed for that update. it is monday morning, sally has more news. the president of the spanish football federation, luis rubiales, has resigned, three weeks after kissing a player on the lips when spain won the world cup. jenni hermoso says she did not consent to the kiss and has started legal action. rubiales initially refused to step down despite facing widespread criticism. joe lynskey has more.
8:06 am
it was the image that overshadowed spain's world cup winning moment. a kiss from the federation president that's brought three weeks of fallout. now, luis rubiales has stood down from his post. he gave this interview to piers morgan uncensored. you're going to resign? i'm going to, yes, because i cannot continue my work. in this situation now, the more intelligent and the thing i have to do. the player he kissed, jenni hermoso, said it wasn't consensual, and football's world governing body had already taken action — rubiales is currently suspended by fifa from all football activity. he added in his statement... last month, rubiales had refused to resign, but as he stayed at the helm, more and more spanish players said they'd refuse to play.
8:07 am
much of the women's squad remain on strike. the pressure has really been insurmountable, i think, for a very long time, and it really has been increasing over the last few weeks. it's come from everywhere across spanish society, as well as internationally. i think the tipping point wasjenni hermoso last week handing in an official complaint to the prosecutor's office, and now opening up criminal proceedings against him. and i think also him talking to his daughters, to his father, them saying to him, "it's time to preserve a bit of dignity here." rubiales now follows the winning coach in leaving his position. the former president says he wants to bring stability as spain bid to host the men's world cup. for the women's team, this was a trophy that brought a split like none before. now the man at the centre has stepped back from the game. joe lynskey, bbc news. the home secretary says she's commissioned advice on whether american bully xl dogs should be banned. our chief political correspondent henry zeffmanjoins us

now from westminster. good morning. what is behind this latest line of news? bier? good morning. what is behind this latest line of news?— latest line of news? very strong lanauuae latest line of news? very strong language from _ latest line of news? very strong language from home _ latest line of news? very strong language from home secretaryl latest line of news? very strong i language from home secretary suella braverman last night, saying these dogs are clear and lethal danger to people. the reason for that was really a video which went viral over the weekend of a pretty tough to watch a grim attack on an 11—year—old girl in birmingham and also on a couple 11—year—old girl in birmingham and also on a couple of 11—year—old girl in birmingham and also on a couple of men 11—year—old girl in birmingham and also on a couple of men who 11—year—old girl in birmingham and also on a couple of men who tried 11—year—old girl in birmingham and also on a couple of men who tried to her. help that is the strong language from suella braverman, she says she has commissioned advice from officials on how to crack down on these dogs. the practicalities may be quite complicated. firstly it is not directly in suella braverman's gift, she is a senior minister but legislation that need to be changes in the department for the environment. there are practical questions about whether it is possible to specifically ban the
8:09 am
bully xl dog without running some other dogs because the bully xl dog isn't officially recognised by the kennel club and some point out it is already illegal to own a dog that is out of control, so perhaps the kinds of horrible cases we have seen footage of would be captured by that offence. realistically i think when you look at the video that prompted the very strong public condemnation, public intervention from suella braverman, you realise the government is not going to allow itself, surely, to be bogged down in practicalities here because people will watch that video and want action from ministers.- will watch that video and want action from ministers. nicky campbell will be getting your reaction to this on bbc news, bbc two, radio 5 live and bbc sounds this morning from 9.00. rishi sunak is facing pressure from within his own party to take stronger action against china. it comes after a parliamentary researcher was arrested under the official secrets act, accused of spying for beijing. some senior conservative mps have called for china to be categorised as a threat to uk interests and national security.

the german car manufacturer bmw is expected to announce a £600 million investment in its mini factory in oxford. it will be used to produce a new generation of electric cars. the government is among those providing funding, thought to be around £75 million, and says the decision will secure 4,000 jobs. 21—year—old daniel khalife is due to appear at westminster magistrates court charged with escaping from custody at hmp wandsworth. anna a n na foster anna fosterjoined us now from outside the court. one can we expect to hear today? it outside the court. one can we expect to hear today?— to hear today? it will be almost certainly a _ to hear today? it will be almost certainly a very _ to hear today? it will be almost certainly a very brief— to hear today? it will be almost certainly a very brief hearing i to hear today? it will be almost | certainly a very brief hearing but already just around the certainly a very brief hearing but alreadyjust around the corner, the place with a prison transport vans come in, there is a big crowd with cameras waiting for it daniel khalife to arrive and he will be seenin khalife to arrive and he will be seen in court less than 48 hours after he was caught on a canal towpath in northolt by a
8:11 am
plainclothes police officer. of course that for days he was missing from prison was a huge story. we saw police officers right up and down the country watching borders, transport hubs, trying to catch him after he is accused of escaping from prison. as we heard, he was working in the prison kitchen, and he seemingly attached himself to the bottom of the food van that had made a delivery and then managed to spend four days away from prison so he will appear here this morning charged with escaping from prison. he is also of course in prison, we should remember, because he had been remanded in custody previous charges for offences under the terrorism act and offences under the official secrets act, offences he denies, and we will see him in court in the next few hours. we will see him in court in the next few hours-— flash flooding caused chaos for those heading home from the great north run yesterday. the tyne and wear metro was flooded, trains had to be cancelled and motorists reported long delays
8:12 am
on the roads. after we have spoken quite a lot yesterday about how the runners need to rehydrate, be really careful about water intake.— to rehydrate, be really careful about water intake. they certainly not about water intake. they certainly got hydrated! _ about water intake. they certainly got hydrated! gosh. _ well we have my wet weather or a taste of sunshine? a bit of both but thankfully not as much as yesterday. a few storms around but this morning we start with some sunshine. in south from newcastle, in wakefield, 18 degrees there at the moment. that is to start the day. a very humid start again but that sort of temperature will be closer to an afternoon high as we go through the rest of the week. things are changing. in the capital cities through the working week, notice the temperatures dropping in all areas. still some humid air continuing today and the start of tomorrow across the south—east and all of us will see at
8:13 am
least a little bit of rain at times as well as some sunshine. bringing about that change this morning, let's get back to the here and now. the northern half of the country, bands of rain shepherding in the fresh air. outbreaks of rain in northern ireland, parts of scotland on and off. heavier adverse across cumbria, edging into northumberland again at the moment, the heavier showers working southward through the day. west of scotland and northern ireland will brighten up later and continue to see some sunny spells towards parts of the midlands, east anglia, south—east england, varying amounts of cloud after a murky start. i thought pm there will be some sharp showers in south—west england and wales, towards lincolnshire and yorkshire. some could be heavy and thundery but not on the scale of your stay. wetter around the northern irish sea to the south and south—east of scotland with lots of sunshine to the north and west, 102 showers here but already seeing a change in temperature. forget the 28 degrees we saw on friday. 15 degrees the high across parts of north—west scotland today, warming to the south
8:14 am
and east. 26 or 27 degrees. state humid across southern and eastern areas tonight, outbreaks of rain across northern england, wales, edging to the midlands. clear skies to scotland and northern ireland and later northern england, so much cooler start here tomorrow. temperatures only few degrees above freezing for one or two, but fairly sticky the south and east before bigger changes later on tuesday. thank you very much indeed. teaching suicide prevention in schools and better support for middle—aged men, are among 100 measures outlined in the government's new suicide prevention strategy for england. the figures are stark. more than 5,000 people took their own lives in england and wales in 2021. ministers are pledging to reduce that number within the next two and a half years. frances read reports. what i remember most about tom is his cheeky smile and cheeky sense of humour. that's probably the thing i miss most about him. tom parfett, in his father's words. tom killed himself two years ago,
8:15 am
but it's cases like tom's that many say could have been prevented. and now the government in england has set out more than 100 actions as part of a strategy to reduce the numbers of those taking their own lives. with tom's case, he was an extremely bright young man. he was studying philosophy at st andrew's university, a straight—a student. however, he was also diagnosed as autistic. his autism made him very open to being influenced online. the government has set out several groups of people who will be targeted in particular with this strategy, and i welcome that. with something like this previously, would it have helped tom, would it have helped your family? yes — without doubt, it would have helped tom. i guess, for me, we need to see how effective it's going to be. i think that it's a very challenging space.
8:16 am
5,000 people in england die from suicide every year. among those most at risk... young people and people with autism. middle—aged men — who have some of the highest rates. and women who've given birth — it's the leading cause of deaths up to a year after the end of pregnancy. the government says it wants to reduce the numbers over the next couple of years. among the plans — creating a new alert system to notify authorities of emerging risks, giving fresh guidance for first responders, and making sure there's surveillance of trends — such as online. the plans have been largely welcomed, and last month a £10 million suicide prevention grant fund was launched. but many say the cash will need to keep coming. in all of this, support forfamilies is key. pregnancy charities say hundreds of babies are being left without mothers because of a gap in care for those experiencing mental—health issues during or after pregnancy. this national strategy aiming to finally close that gap.

8:18 am
evidence—based, it is being led by the evidence base, which is exactly what we always asked for. it really has that voice of lived experience and i really welcome it because for me, government is bombarded all the time with priorities and i think this is definitely a priority. and so i am delighted to see this strategy out today and also the £10 million funding attached to it, as well, so i am absolutely delighted. you lost your husband, mark committed suicide, and there is a lot in this strategy looking at men, isn't there? suicide is the most common cause of death among men of a certain age bracket. what are your thoughts on that particular focus? i mean, again, the focus that we have had on male suicide for a long time, i think... had on male suicide for a long time, ithink... i had on male suicide for a long time, i think... i dread to think where those numbers would be if we didn't have that focus and we haven't had that focus kind off from the

residents in an area of south london have voiced concerns about smoke from a fire, which started on friday and continued over the weekend at a waste disposal site in herne hill. london fire brigade say it started on shakespeare road and is under control although the fire is "still producing smoke." nearby residents are told to keep windows and doors closed. while people in other london boroughs have complained of the impact of the ongoing smoke. the hugely popular elizabeth line service has proved to be missing the mark when it comes to reliability. figures show that nearly one in 10 trains were cancelled from around mid—july to mid—august — giving it the worst rail figures in the country. transport for london apologised for what it said were a "number of recent issues." in the past six days alone, there have been problems due to a signalfailure, overhead line problems, a faulty train and a person on the track.

disappearfrom high streets. we the retail chain wilko is going to disappear from high streets. we were talking about a potential rescue bid but it appears wilko is going. just a little bit more information is coming through at the moment. some of the remaining stills might be sold to rival retailers but it is likely workers in those locations will still lose theirjobs. the retailers who end up buying groups stores could end up giving jobs to former wilko workers but the retail chain wilko is looking very likely to disappear from the chain wilko is looking very likely to disappearfrom the high chain wilko is looking very likely to disappear from the high street after the rescue bid failed over the weekend. we are hearing from a business team the brand could be bought by someone else, it had become an internet business but as it appears this morning, set to disappearfrom the high as it appears this morning, set to disappear from the high street. there had been hopes of a rescue bid from the owner of hmv but that has failed after a weekend of

8:41 am
would close around the uk. there are half a dozen wilko stores in the greater liverpool area, where i am alone. it has been a high street presence trading for almost 100 years now. it is a huge loss for the high street. there had been hopes of the stores can be saved. there is still talk of rivals stepping in and buying some of their stores. the key point is there was no buyer coming forward to buy up the whole chain. there were no viable office for that. so this piece by piece fragmentation prolong the uncertainty and the agony for the workers affected. we know already that 1300 job losses also were confirmed. this deal with hmv falling through makes it look as though there could yet be more job losses announced in the coming days and weeks. a really difficult and

8:43 am
was trying to understand you, you are really impressed by wales. allez les bleus! and france to win. in the buzz around her everyone was on the edge of their seats because the match took place in bordeaux. everyone was holding their breath towards the end when fiji almost snatched it. four tries, including this one from elliot dee, took wales into what looked like a commanding lead. fiji though came back to stage a dramatic finish. they needed a converted try with the last play of the game for the win but they couldn't get over the line. a bit ofa a bit of a fumble. heartbreakfor the fijians — a hardfought bonus point win for wales.
8:44 am
imagine how wales nerve shattering. how wales and honestly, honestly, i'm glad i've got my doctor with me because i think i've had a heart attack. yeah, it was... it was... surely, it's the best game of the tournament, wasn't it? ridiculous. my head was in my hand. yeah, it was. we kind of couldn't really take it. it was right in front of us. i really thought that fiji - were going to get it and it was all going to be over. but, thankfully, by some miracle, wales managed to hold on. - i couldn't even watch, i was hiding under my flag. too scary to watch. too tense. that was the most intense game of rugby i think i've watched in person. you can tell i've lost my voice just by screaming at the end there. right till the end, fiji really pushed wales. i thought dan biggar had an amazing match, josh adams had a really good game as well. i was really nervious coming into today. i thought... fiji beat england a couple
8:45 am
of weeks ago, i was nervous. wales played really well and i am happy with that performance. what a performance! not a great start for scotland though — they're in the toughest pool of this world cup and lost their opening match to the defending champions south africa. it was a decent performance from the scots, some great running moves at times. it was always going to be a tough ask, but the springboks showed why they're one of the favourites to lift the webb ellis cup, scoring two tries — this the second from kurt—lee arendse, as the won by 18—3 points here in marseille. the boks just too powerful for gregor townsend's side. scotland now have two weeks to prepare for their next game against tonga. to be fair to the springboks they put us under a huge amount of pressure and we knew they were going to. the big bit is probably the start the second half. we had a bit of momentum going into the half with a scrum penalty on their ball, but then that all changed second half, they came out with the momentum. so that's what we'll look at and i don't know what... we'll have to think about what we can do to make sure that doesn't happen. there is still time in this

8:49 am
talk about the tennis. an historic moment and another milestone for novak djokovic. novak djokovic has won a 24th grand slam, equalling margaret court's all—time record. he beat daniil medvdev at the us open. it was straight sets, but far from straightforward. he was made to work for it. the second set was one hour and 44 minutes before it was decided on a tie—break. and from there he went on to win a fourth title at flushing meadows. what probably made a difference in the key of the match was the second set. almost two hours. i don't think i've ever played a longer set in my life, particularly not on this occasion against a top player, like daniil. i think he was probably a better player in the second set — he deserved to win that set more than i did. somehow i managed to turn things around in the tie—break and, when it mattered, i put one ball in play more than he
8:50 am
did and that was enough. britain's alfie hewett retained his us open singles wheelchair title, beating his doubles partner gordon reid in new york. what was unusual about this... the duo have won 18 major titles together, but it was the first time the doubles partners had come up against each other in a grand slam final but hewettjust too good, winning in straight sets. he called his fourth us open triumph the "stuff of dreams." that we are. that is it. we have got the trophy. we are about to set sail. we have got a lift on dominique's bike. ready to go? time to say goodbye to marseille. quite an emotional moment. here we go, out

at work. they are not meant to express their own views in that way. here, at this huge moment for the country, the man who was the boss for the civil service in the foreign office working for borisjohnson, who was foreign secretary, reveals in that moment he thought it was the right thing to tell staff and apple to tell ministers how he voted. i think for a lot of people who have been interested in this over the years, it will stare up a sense that has been there among brexiteers for quite some time. it was one of the criticisms levelled at the civil service actually they dragged their feet over brexit and were all on the remaining side. that has always been rejected. simon mcdonald said he thought it important for people to know so we can all move on. it was a pretty extraordinary admission. other civil servants said they did not see why it was helpful. the danger is, you will get brexiteers
