1 july 2012 was when my rape happened. it was in los angeles that he met a woman the investigation by the sunday times, the times and channel 4's dispatches are calling nadia. she says they had a brief sexual relationship but that, on a later occasion, he raped her. the women speaking out have had their identities disguised. he pushed me up against a wall. i'm like, what are you doing? and he's like, i have a friend here, and i... i want you to come into the bedroom. i'm like, no, that's not happening. we're not doing that, and i tried to get away from him. and at this point, he's grabbing at my — my underwear. i'm telling him to get off me and he won't get off. and he has that glazed look in his eye again. i was very distraught, trying to get out of the house... the following year, brand met a woman the investigation is calling

phoebe. again, she says that they did have a sexual relationship but that it had ended when she found herself alone with him in his house. and he grabbed me and got me on the bed. i was fully clothed and he was naked at this point, and he held me down. and i was screaming, and i was like, "what are and i was screaming, and i was like, "what are you doing?" like, "stop, you're my my friend. i love you, please don't do this. i don't want to do this." a third woman says she met and had a brief relationship with brand when he was in his 30s and she was 16 and still at school. she says he later sexually assaulted her. i was pushing him away and pushing him away, and he wasn't. .. he wasn't backing off at all. and so i ended up having to punch him really hard in the stomach to get him off. and then he, like... finally then he, like — moved, fell backwards. and i was crying, and he said,

"oh, i only want to see your mascara run anyway." the allegations have been denied by russell brand in a video message. these allegations pertain - to the time when i was working in the mainstream, _ when i was in the newspapers all the time, when i was in the movies. i as i've written about - extensively in my books, i was very, very promiscuous. now, during that time _ of promiscuity, the relationships i had were absolutely always consensual. . what i seriously refute are these very, very. serious criminal allegations. the comedian, who achieved fame with his risque humour and who was once married to katy perry, is now facing the most serious of accusations. lizo mzimba, bbc news. simonjones is outside channel 4 headquarters. channel 4 obviously broadcast in conjunction with the times in the sunday times these allegations, but also one of the broadcasters that have employed russell brand in the past. what have the broadcasters had to say this morning? yes. past. what have the broadcasters had to say this morning?— to say this morning? yes, russell brand, of course, _ to say this morning? yes, russell brand, of course, found _ to say this morning? yes, russell brand, of course, found fame - to say this morning? yes, russell - brand, of course, found fame working for channel 4 on spin—offs of big

happy brother, but as you say it was last night that channel 4 itself broke because those allegations. bosses say they have looked back at past documentation and they cannot see any link to those allegations ever being made to the company. russell brand, of course, also works for the bbc. the bbc said he was removed from his programme on bbc radio two, that is after he made a lewd telephone call to the actor andrew sachs about his granddaughter leaving a voicemail message, and the bbc says that is proof that its processes do work. but the culture committee says she is extremely concerned that she fears this may turn out to be another case of alleged abuse of power in the television industry. as for russell brand himself, he hasn't gone into hiding. last night he actually was onstage in wembley in london. during

his performance he thanked the audience, it was a sell—out crowd, for their support. audience, it was a sell—out crowd, fortheirsupport. he audience, it was a sell—out crowd, for their support. he said there were things he wanted to talk about but said he wasn't able to. but of course, he did pre—empt that documentary by on friday night releasing that video on social media denying all the allegations. as regards the police, the metropolitan police tell us they are aware of these claims, but they say that no specific complaint has been received. but they are saying anyone who believes they have been the victim of a sexual assault should contact the police, however long ago it may have taken place.— it may have taken place. simon, thank you _ it may have taken place. simon, thank you very _ it may have taken place. simon, thank you very much. _ it may have taken place. simon, thank you very much. simon - it may have taken place. simon, l thank you very much. simon jones thank you very much. simonjones outside channel 4 headquarters in london. russell brand, of course, has been a hollywood star as well. one of these incidents alleged to have happened was in la. 0ur correspondent david willis explained how hollywood is reacting to these allegations. the allegations against russell brand centre on a seven—year period

between 2006 and 2013 in which he was at the height of his fame and spending a lot of his time here in los angeles pursuing a nascent film career with movies such as forgetting sarah marshall and get him to the greek. hosting a show on bbc radio to which for several months was broadcast from these very studios in and dating the american singer katy perry, who he subsequently married and then divorced. now, according to reports in the times, the sunday times and channel 4, in the times, the sunday times and channelli, russell in the times, the sunday times and channel 4, russell brand committed two sexual assaults here in la, one in which he penned a woman against the wall, it is alleged, at his home in los angeles and raped her — the reports say that that woman was subsequently admitted to a rape treatment centre on the same day but declined to file a police report because she didn't believe that her

allegations would be taken seriously. russell brand is also accused of sexually assaulting a woman whom he worked with here in la, and he is facing separate allegations of sexual assault against two other women, one of whom, it is alleged, was just against two other women, one of whom, it is alleged, wasjust 16 years old at the time. now, a spokesman for the los angeles police department contacted by the bbc said that the department currently had nothing to add to reports in the uk media. now, russell brand has vigorously denied the allegations against him and continues to insist that all of his relationships were consensual. that was david willis in los angeles for us this morning. let us catch up with the rest of the stories making the this morning. the number of people killed in last week's floods in libya has reached 11,300. two dams failed in a storm which saw most of the city

of derna washed away. there are now concerns that a cholera outbreak is looming because of a lack of clean water and medicine. 0ur correspondent anna foster reports. a landscape changed beyond recognition, a bustling city now a wasteland. the destructive power of water has ripped the heart from derna. its survivors left rapt with grief and anger. translation: we were told to stay inside our homes. . why? they should have told us there was a storm, told us the dam was old and crumbling. some of these destroyed buildings were 100 years old. this man lost five members of his family in the raging current. one was his ten—month—old daughter. he shows me their pictures. first alive, and then their bodies.

this was what brought him here — a convoy of ministers from the eastern government, one of libya's two opposing authorities. fighting has decimated the country's infrastructure. ferris says it has proved fatal. i spoke to the eastern prime minister, 0sama hammad. my my name is anna foster. i am from the bbc. first of all, mr hammad, how could this happen when the dams were supposed to keep people safe? "it was a very strong cyclone," he told me. "too strong for the dams." here in the centre of derna, the destruction is total, and when you look down this valley at an area that used to be filled with apartment buildings, homes, cars, thousands of people, with lives that have all been picked up and swept out to sea, you wonder how a city like this can ever recover.

down at the port, derna's dead are still returning to the city. recovery teams watch the waves and wait for them. this morning three more bodies were pulled from the debris, but thousands of others, swept far from here, will never come home. anna foster, bbc news, derna. the family of a 14—year—old boy killed in a stabbing in manchester say he was very kind and caring. nathaniel shani died in hospital after he was found with stab wounds friday evening. two boys aged 13 and 1a have been arrested on suspicion of murder, and they remain in custody. manchester and harper hey have to start talking about smartphones that range altercations, and young people carrying knives, and we are getting younger and younger people carrying knives, and we have to put our heads together in manchester and the uk to get on top of this. 0therwise

together in manchester and the uk to get on top of this. otherwise there will be more anguished families in this country. five people have been injured after being bitten by a dog at a holiday park in north wales. two men have been arrested and the dog has been seized after the incident, which saw one man hospitalised with serious injuries. north wales police said the dog is not believed to be an xl bully, but it is in the process of confirming its exact breed. the sea ice surrounding antarctica is at the lowest level ever recorded. satellite pictures of the ice show levels well below normal for this time of year. 0ne scientist called them almost mind—blowing and warned it could have severe consequences for the earth's temperatures. the speed limit in residential areas of wales has been reduced from 30 to 20 mph from today. the welsh government says it will save lives, but opponents have called it a war on motorists. 0ur wales correspondent tomos morgan has more. from today, driving slower will be

the norm in built—up areas across wales, but not everyone is happy in the slow lane. jane is a carer in barry, drives about 4—5 hours a day and is concerned with the impact it'll have on her. i'm afraid myself and my staff are going to bed thinking, "gosh, if we just take our concentration off that speedometer for two seconds, whether we've got a colleague in the car, whether the in—car phone goes, are wejust going to go up to 25 by mistake?" are you aware of the national changes coming in in september? if you're pulled over doing more than 20, then you could be fined. but the response from officers will be proportionate and reasonable. for the first 12 months there will be more focus on education, with police officers allowed a level of discretion. however, when it comes to fixed speed cameras, they'll operate using the current torrent threshold of 10%

above the speed limit plus two mph. although most roads in urban areas across wales will now have a reduced speed limit, every council across the country have picked out exemptions — roads that'll remain at 30 mph, roads like this one that are busier with vehicles and have fewer pedestrians and fewer cyclists. over a third of roads here will now be 20 mph, and these changes have been made, according to the welsh government, to reduce collisions. every day, five people die on roads right across the uk, and we know that speed is a factor in every single crash. also, we know that one in four fatal crashes involve somebody driving too fast. so speed matters on everyjourney, and the faster we drive, the greater our risk of crashing. a last—minute ditch to scrap the proposals by the conservatives was voted down in the senedd on wednesday, but the welsh government did say they would constantly review the impact of the change. the prime minister has said it wasn't something he was considering but speed

reductions are being trialled by some councils in england, while in scotland, slower speeds will become the norm within a few years. so, for now, wales becomes the first uk nation to adopt 20 mph as the rule and not the exception. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. and finally, a pink pigeon seen in a town centre has ruffled a few feathers amongst surprised locals. i see what you did there. the bird has been spotted accepting food from people in bury town centre in greater manchester, as well as on rooftops in the area. locals are speculating whether the mystery bird has been dyed, fallen into something, or is naturally pink. that is quite extraordinary. it could have fallen into a vat of cherry cola. could have fallen into a vat of cherry cola-— could have fallen into a vat of| cherry cola._ cherry cherry cola. into what? cherry drink. cherry-ade. _

joao pedro with brighton's final goal of the day. the defeat leaves united with just six points from their opening five games. brighton in fine form though — they're fourth in the table. late drama in north london, where sheffield united were so close to their first win of the season until tottenham scored two goals in stoppage time. richarlison equalised with his first league goal of the season, then set up dejan kulusevski to win it here with more than 100 minutes on the clock. new manager ange postecoglou's impressive start continues, with spurs second in the table with four wins from five. it's exactly the same for liverpool, who also had to come from behind to win at wolves. first stand in captain andy robertson put them in front with five minutes to go before a deflected harvey elliot shot, given as an own—goal, saw them win 3—1win at molineux. the third time in five premier league matches that liverpool have come from a goal down to take all three points. in the scottish premiership, celtic remain top after their 3—0 win over dundee, while rangers eased the pressure on manager michael beale with a 2—0 win at stjohnstone,

rabbi matondo sealing the three points. rangers remain fourth in the table, four points off the top. all saturday's results are on the bbc sport website. ferrari's carlos sainz will start this afternoon's singapore grand prix from pole, edging out george russell's mercedes after red bull struggled, with max verstappen only 11th. the first session of qualifying was stopped fractionally early after lance stroll crashed his aston martin heavily at the final corner. his car slid on to the kerb and spun into the barriers, tearing a wheel off the car and badly damaging it. he was taken to the medical centre for checks but soon released uninjured. in cricket, leicestershire are celebrating their first 0ne—day cup title for 38 years after they beat hampshire off the last ball to win the 0ne—day cup final at trent bridge. it was a remarkable turnaround when you consider leicestershire were 19/4 at one stage, but harry swindells hit 117 as they reached a total of 267/7.

hampshire looked like they'd get there, needing eight off the last over and four from the last ball, but they fell short, with leicestershire winning by two runs on a memorable day for their supporters. a report this week says that almost a third of the country's public pools are now more than four decades old and in need of immediate investment. swim england claim the sport has an annual social value of £2.4 billion, due in part to the health benefits easing pressure on the nhs. but for this to continue, urgent funding is required. with more than 1,000 public pools having now closed since 2010, one olympic gold medallist says we've reached a crisis point, as matt graveling reports. they say you can't put a price on your health, but according to a new report, you can quantify its value, and it claims the benefits of swimming, whether mental or

physical, is worth billions. but it also says there is a problem. ladle also says there is a problem. we have had also says there is a problem. - have had over 1000 facilities close since 2010, and that for me is what is screaming out as the crisis. that's what worries me the most. there will be more burden on the nhs because people are not going to swimming to relieve their illness worries and really prevent that demand. so the whole thing is just going to be an utter crisis if we don't do something about it now. the financial benefit of swimming has been outlined in the new report, using data including the number of health conditions in swimmers alongside trips to gps, a&e and surveying mental well being, swim england has calculated that swimming is a social value of £2.4 billion, and it claims the largest health savings, around £100 million, up from dementia and diabetes, with a reduction in the rate of depression among swimmers said to be worth almost £3.5 million. it’s among swimmers said to be worth almost £3.5 million.—

time injapan. yay! 0oh, it's a latte! i'm experiencing it through sound, taste, smell and touch. all the colours taste different! different, yes! i'm a content maker, activist and broadcaster. hi, guys. this is my first blind vlog. ten years ago, i lost my eyesight and since then, i've been on a mission to prove that having a disability doesn't have to hold me back. i've come a long way learning to live with sight loss... hello, sweetheart. good girl. ..but i've never been this far away from home. it's just hit me like a ton of bricks that it's actually really hard being in a new place when you can't see it. in this first episode... the ferry�*s about to depart! ..i'm travelling from the mainland to one

of the remotest parts of japan. oh, what are these for? but will i be able to make sense of a country so famous for its visual beauty? this is japan — the way i see it. i'm injapan's capital city, tokyo. it's my first time injapan. it's going to be very exciting but very overwhelming. where's the line? i've lost the line. 0h, here. here's the line. i left my guide dog at home and i'm travelling with my long white cane... ok, i think i'm on the crossing right now. 0oh, there's someone with a megaphone. ..and at the moment, i am feeling apprehensive. loud street noises. ah, there's so much noise!

i'm going to go for it. i love the fact that the streets are quite wide. ifelt very confident walking up and down. day one in tokyo, i am going to meet rikarin, who is an influencer and a fashion designer, and we're going up harajuku. so, i want to know all about harajuku fashion. then, i'm going to have a feel with all of my other senses, so i can understand where she's coming from and what fashion she likes to wear. 0k. hey, hello! it's so lovely to meet you! can i hug you? yeah, course you can. it's lovely to meet you. can i get a quick audio description of you? sure, sure. i have a yellow, puffy dress, like this. can i feel? sure! it's like an organza dress. oh, wow! with a — like a border knit top with the jeans. it's a little bit casual style. oh, you've put jeans underneath.

yeah, yeah. can i be guided by yourarm? sure. so can i hold on to your...? here. that's it — perfect. fashion, it's a massive passion of mine, just actively touching everything and feeling all the fabric. there's this street, it's called takeshita street. okay. it's like the main street of harajuku. so, all the kids who have heard of harajuku first come here. it looks like so many different, like, tastes is mixed together. some shops, like on the left here, is really gothic. ah! wow! maybe on the right you'll see kebab shop! laughter. on the right again, i think you'll be surprised. and actually, i'm going to take you to the sweet place. 0h, 0k. here's the first step. yep. yes. 0k. the step is quite narrow. wow. it really smells sugary. yeah.

ok. you got one? oh, my god, amazing! oh, my gosh, it's so big! all the colours taste different! different, yes. wow. i think i like the pink one the best. yeah? the blue one's nice but it tastes like more like fake sweets. so, this is what harajuku tastes like? yeah. i'll stay here. laughs. it feels exciting, it feels energetic, and very individual. and here is a shop sign. oh, my god. he only has one eye. oh, representation! he knows how it feels! he's visually impaired, too! and the last one. 0k. stop here... 0k. ..and turn to the right. this is a really very famous and important place for the culture called kawaii culture. have you ever heard of it? no. yeah, kawaii means like something cute. we say "kawaii" to every single thing that we love.

wow, that's so unusual. yeah. it feels like there's loads of clothes around me, so the audio is very dampened. mm—hm. yeah. the clothes there feel like nothing i've everfelt before that i would wear. it was a culture shock. oh! what do you think is that? i think you cannot... i don't know. oh, my gosh. it's a big rat. a rat?! a rat, yeah. giggles. this culture was born because of a little bit of rebellion — in a good way. that's why harajuku fashion or harajuku culture is not only about something really cute. like, its not like that. they always have, like, eyeballs or bones. yeah. something a little bit dark side. yeah. you're walking on the red carpet right now. yeah! i work it! work it, work it! laughter. yeah! this shop is for the cosmetics and this room is for the wigs.

shall we try some on? i could maybe try this one on. fluffy one. yeah. i've never worn a wig. oh, really? yeah, never. hey! what do you think? you look like a poodle! what made you want to get into this sort of fashion style? i was like a shy girl but after i found this community, i feel it's totally different from my school or anything, like my family. it's different. so, it's a completely new community, it's new me, so i can be myself however i want. and that really changed my life, i think. i really relate to that because when i got my long white cane out, i felt really self—conscious and nervous. not dressing like other people makes you feel like, "yeah, i'm me! "i'm individual". yeah. i became blind at age 17 due to a really rare genetic condition. you want to just live the sighted life that you had

and every day, every thing, every task that you go to do is a reminder that you can't do it any more and that, for me, mentally, was a massive struggle when i went blind. i'm heading to saitama, about an hour away from tokyo. i'm off to see ryusei. he is a blind skateboarder and he has not let his blindness define him. i'm just really excited to understand why he skateboards and how he does it, because it's really scary in my mind! ryusei holds two world records for performing skateboard tricks without eyesight. how long have you been a blind skaterfor?

what's it like to skate as a blind person? it seems scary. although i can't see ryusei's skills, i remember what skateboarding looks like and it blows my mind that he's got the courage to get back up every time he falls. 0h! yeah. yeah? yeah. is every skateboard as wobbly? how do you say "three, two, one" injapanese? san, ni...

ichi. ..ichi. yeah. go! yeah. excited scream. laughs. wa—hey! i can see why this is freeing but i also don't want to go too fast! 0k. i think that's me. it's so scary! like me, ryusei lost his eyesight due to a rare disease. he's now 95% blind. how did that affect you mentally, you know, suddenly having sight and then not? cos i know, for me, i took it really badly for a couple of years. i had a mental breakdown. i just wondered about you and yourjourney.

i know what it's like to be in the darkest place because something's happened to you that shatters your heart. when you can't do just the little things that make up your life, you don't believe you can, like, truly go on without some massive, massive willpower behind you. i admire ryusei's drive to keep doing what he loves. i think it's really amazing to see other blind people just rock it wherever they are, and that's really special.

we've got something there that connects us. it's time to leave the city and i'm heading to a place that's unlike anywhere i've been. the automated gates for the... my destination is sado island. and then, you can go through the gate. my local producer is ryuso helping me on the ferry. oh, my gosh. this is a line all the way to the ferry? yeah. this is so cool. i wish we had this in our ports in england. it would stop me falling in the sea. laughs. right, now we are about to board the ferry. what is that metal drumming? right, so, they're telling us the ferry is about to depart — that's what the drum is. now, we are on the ferry. yay! oh, that's so cool! yeah.

there was no step up or anything. it's so accessible. yeah, it was pretty smooth, wasn't it? yeah. whistle blows. the ferry is about to depart! gong bangs. cackles. that was really fun! so, the ship is slowly turning directions. 0k. and then, from there, its 2.5 hours to sadogashima. lovely. how far down is the water? oh, far enough that you don't want to fall. laughs. it's about, like, a four—storey building. 0h, 0k. i would say, yeah. wow. these are the kind of experiences as a blind person that are really sensory for me — the wind in my hair and the rain, like, little bits of rain. i can hear a seagull. laughs. gulls cry. i can hear the engine down below. i can hear the water.

really cool. i've come to sado island in the sea ofjapan, and i'm here to experience a unique tradition called the onidaiko festival. so what is the onidaiko festival? we try to keep the community together and, at the same time, we wish a good harvest and health. the onidaiko is danced to represent the gods. everything's connected to each other. i want to find ways to engage with the festival that don't rely on eyesight. konnichiwa. terue has brought me to the taiko drumming centre. this building is named tatakokan. tatako. yes. tatako means "let's play taiko" injapanese. oh, tatako!

yes! tatako, yes! taiko drumming is an ancient art that's central to the onidaiko festival. so this is taiko. ..not so strong. 0k. relax. yes. 0k, good, good. laughter. ok, you lift your arm up higher. and down. beats drum. yes. 0k. more. oh, it's good. it's good. i give you to "se, no". se, no is like one, two. 0k, 0k. se, no! next. yes. cheering. i feel like it's a sense of self that you find when you're drumming. i can't see visual pieces

of art, but to be able to experience it with wood all around me, i felt the sound just through my whole body. how was it? amazing! laughter. it was a massive sensory experience. when masami started to drum... ..i didn't expect to feel overcome with passion for what she does. i didn't know how moved i would be by hearing the sounds ricochet from the drum all the way around the room.

it was so moving. wow! well done. oh, my gosh, that was incredible. ijust, ifeel this sense of calm after that because it was so... you just felt it through your whole body, don't you? right. it's like your body's echoing with the... yeah. ..drum. yeah. i didn't have a need to, like, be able to see then, which is like one of the first times in my life. being blind in that moment didn't matter. yeah. you can feel that. you don't need to see it. just feel it. yeah. that's what music does. it's just amazing. sniffs. 0h.

laughs. thank you. speaks japanese. thank you. thank you so much. i am so super proud of myself and i'm not afraid to say it. to think, "oh, being blind is so crummy, i'll "never go away" and now, i'm over the other side of the world and i'm so excited to experience all of my other senses. as well as drumming, costumes are a key part of the onidaiko tradition. konnichiwa. i've come to meet watanabe aritsune, who carves traditional oni, or demon masks, worn by the festival's dancers. translation: there's some chair. _ 0k. one more, one more. 0k. one more, one more chair. here? no, next to. next to it. laughs. we got there in the end.

what's in front of me? so, five oni masks in front of you. the masks are a tactile symbol of what once was and what is now. and i think that's beautiful to still have that within the small communities of the island. so, here is his mask. so that usually male only closing their mouths. 0h. 0h! that's scary. how does it feel when you see your masks in the festival? are you proud?

i love the lion's mechanicaljaw. i think that was one of my favourite parts. yeah, i like that. the tactile experience is now going to make the festival come alive to me in my mind. i now have a picture of what they may be wearing. i can have an audio description of how they dance, and then i'm hearing the music. i can fully immerse myself in the festival, so i'm really excited. drum beats. there are over 100 onidaiko dance groups on the island and they dedicate their performances to a shrine. the lions came out. now, she's trying to scare them. wow. they're so close. yeah. the lions are moving around as well. yeah. applause. yay! woo! thank you. 0h!

he's got, he's got hair. i felt that day shifted my mind—set. i always thought that my blind experience was less than... oh, what are these for? ..that when i felt something tactile, i didn't see that as valid as actually looking at that thing in real life. this is the god of snake. the god of snake. that day proved to me that my tactile experience was as valid as a visual one. yes! yeah. thank you. up the road, a children's dance group is performing door to door to the families in the village. i love that it's all really immersive. the kids are so, so cute as well. what are they saying? kids chant. it doesn't mean anything, but it's cheering the people up.

so, you mean like "yay"? yes, that's. .. yay! chuckles. chanting in japanese. this trip has made me more confident. i truly believe that the way i interact with the world in a tactile way when i go back home is enough. chanting continues. i am enough. chanting. oh, my god. the energy is so electric right now. i'm so excited. it's just the chanting.

it's like, makes you feel like you're in a bit of a trance. chants. yay! the kids are shouting. it's just such a sense of community. in the second part of my travels, i'm back in tokyo... go. ..asking whether guide dogs could be replaced. faster, faster, faster. i've never been guided by ai before. this is so cool! squeals. and i head to hiroshima to find out about the resilience of its people.

good morning. welcome to breakfast, with sarah campbell and roger johnson. our headlines today: the comedian and actor russell brand is accused of rape and sexual assault following an investigation by the sunday times, the times and channel 4's dispatches.

i was screaming, and i was like, what are you doing? like, stop, you're my friend. i love you. please don't do this. channel 4 bosses have described the details as disturbing, but russell brand took to the stage, and has always insisted that his relationships have always been consensual. authorities in eastern libya blame nature for the failure of two dams which allowed floodwater to devastate the city of derna. good morning from wembley stadium, this starting point for the latest football march for prostate cancer. people walking from here to wycombe wanderers. we will be talking to some of the walkers later in the programme. a landmark night for ireland and johnny sexton, as he becomes their record points scorer during an emphatic win over tonga at the world cup. and good morning. we're going to see some heavy and thundery downpours today,

in hollywood movies. 1 july 2012 was when my rape happened. it was in los angeles that he met a woman the investigation by the sunday times, the times and channel 4's dispatches are calling nadia. she says they had a brief sexual relationship but that, on a later occasion, he raped her. the women speaking out have had their identities disguised. he pushed me up against a wall. i'm like, what are you doing? and he's like, i have a friend here, and i... i want you to come into the bedroom. i'm like, no, that's not happening. we're not doing that. and i tried to get away from him, and at this point, he's grabbing at my — my underwear. i'm telling him to get off me and he won't get off. and he has that glazed look in his eye again. i was very distraught, trying to get out of the house...

the following year, brand met a woman the investigation is calling phoebe. again, she says that they did have a sexual relationship but that it had ended when she found herself alone with him in his house. and he grabbed me and got me on the bed. i was fully clothed and he was naked at this point, and he held me down. and i was screaming, and i was like, what are you doing? like, stop, you're my my friend. i love you, please don't do this. i don't want to do this. a third woman says she met and had a brief relationship with brand when he was in his 30s and she was 16 and still at school. she says he later sexually assaulted her. i was pushing him away and pushing him away, and he wasn't. .. he wasn't backing off at all. and so i ended up having to punch him really hard in the stomach to get him off. and then he, like... finally then he, like — moved, fell backwards. and i was crying, and he said, "oh, i only want to see your

mascara run anyway. " the allegations have been denied by russell brand in a video message. these allegations pertain - to the time when i was working in the mainstream, _ when i was in the newspapers all the time, when i was in the movies. i and as i've written _ about extensively in my books, i was very, very promiscuous. now, during that time _ of promiscuity, the relationships i had were absolutely always consensual. . what i seriously refute are these very, very. serious criminal allegations. the comedian, who achieved fame with his risque humour and who was once married to katy perry, is now facing the most serious of accusations. lizo mzimba, bbc news. simonjones is outside channel 4 headquarters. simon, channel 4 are broadcasting these allegations in dispatches last night, having done the work with the sunday times and the times, but also

one of the broadcasters, along with the bbc, that employed russell brand. what have the broadcasters been saying this morning? yes. been saying this morning? yes, russell brand _ been saying this morning? yes, russell brand of _ been saying this morning? yes, russell brand of course - been saying this morning? 1a: russell brand of course found fame on television working for channel 4 in big brother. channel 4 says that the allegations shown last night a deeply travelling. —— are deeply troubling. it says it can find no evidence of these claims being made to the broadcaster. russell brand, of course, also worked for the bbc. the bbc said he was removed from his show on bbc radio two after being found to have left a lewd voicemail message on the phone of broadcaster andrew sachs about his granddaughter, and the bbc says that that shows that the processes did work and that they take the issues raised seriously. but the chair of the commons culture committee says she is extremely concerned and fears this may be another case of alleged abuse of power in the television

industry, and she wants a full investigation. as regards russell brand himself, he is certainly not hiding away. he turned up for his show last night in wembley, it was a sell—out crowd, around 2000 people. he said at the start of the show there were things he wanted to talk about but couldn't, but he thanked the public for their support, and he did get a standing ovation. now, as regards any police involvement in this case, the metropolitan police have told us they are aware of these allegations, but they say no specific claims have been made, and they are encouraging anyone who believes they have been the victim of a sexual assault to contact the police, however long ago that may have happened. police, however long ago that may have happened-— police, however long ago that may have ha ened. ,, ., ., ,, y., , have happened. simon, thank you very much. have happened. simon, thank you very much- those — have happened. simon, thank you very much. those allegations _ have happened. simon, thank you very much. those allegations against - much. those allegations against russell brand on the front page of most of the sunday papers this morning. lots of other news around, of course, on this sunday morning. sarah has a full round—up, starting with the devastation in libya. the number of people killed in last

week's floods in libya has reached 11,300. two dams failed in a storm which saw most of the city of derna washed away. there are now concerns that a cholera outbreak is looming because of a lack of clean water and medicine. our correspondent anna foster reports. a landscape changed beyond recognition, a bustling city now a wasteland. the destructive power of water has ripped the heart from derna, its survivors left wracked with grief and anger. translation: we were told to stay inside our homes. . why? they should have told us there was a storm, told us the dam was old and crumbling. some of these destroyed buildings were 100 years old. faris ghassar lost five members of his family in the raging current. one was his ten—month—old daughter. he shows me their pictures, first alive, and then their bodies.

this was what brought him here — a convoy of ministers from the eastern government, one of libya's two opposing authorities. fighting has decimated the country's infrastructure. faris says it has proved fatal. i spoke to the eastern prime minister, 0sama hammad. my name is anna foster. i am from the bbc. first of all, mr hammad, how could this happen when the dams were supposed to keep people safe? "it was a very strong cyclone," he told me. "too strong for the dams." here in the centre of derna, the destruction is total, and when you look down this valley at an area that used to be filled with apartment buildings, homes, cars, thousands of people, with lives that have all been picked up and swept out to sea, you wonder how a city like this can ever recover.

down at the port, derna's dead are still returning to the city. recovery teams watch the waves and wait for them. this morning three more bodies were pulled from the debris, but thousands of others, swept far from here, will never come home. anna foster, bbc news, derna. the family of a 14—year—old boy killed in a stabbing in manchester say he was very kind and caring. two boys aged 13 and 14 have been arrested on suspicion of murder, and they remain in custody. nathaniel shani died in hospital after he was found with stab wounds friday evening. manchester and harpurhey have to start talking about smartphones that arrange altercations and young people carrying knives, and they're getting younger and younger carrying knives. and we have to put our heads together in manchester and the uk

to get on top of this. otherwise there will be more anguished families in this country. five people have been injured after being bitten by a dog at a holiday park in north wales. two men have been arrested and the dog has been seized after the incident, which saw one man hospitalised with serious injuries. north wales police said the dog is not believed to be an xl bully, but it is in the process of confirming its exact breed. the sea ice surrounding antarctica is at the lowest level ever recorded. satellite pictures of the ice show levels well below normal for this time of year. one scientist called them almost mind—blowing and warned it could have severe consequences for the earth's temperatures. the speed limit in residential areas of wales has been reduced from 30 to 20 mph from today. the welsh government says it'll save lives, but opponents have called it a war on motorists. our wales correspondent tomos morgan has more. from today, driving slower will be

the norm in built—up areas across wales, but not everyone is happy in the slow lane. jane is a carer in barry, drives about 4—5 hours a day and is concerned with the impact it'll have on her. i'm afraid myself and my staff are going to bed thinking, "gosh, if we just take our concentration off that speedometer for two seconds, whether we've got a colleague in the car, whether the in—car phone goes, are wejust going to go up to 25 by mistake?" are you aware of the national changes coming in in september? if you're pulled over doing more than 20 then you could be fined, but the response from officers will be proportionate and reasonable. for the first 12 months there will be more focus on education, with police officers allowed a level of discretion. however, when it comes to fixed speed cameras, they'll operate using the current torrent threshold of 10% above the speed limit plus two mph.

although most roads in urban areas across wales will now have a reduced speed limit, every council across the country have picked out exemptions — roads that'll remain at 30 mph, roads like this one that are busier with vehicles and have fewer pedestrians and fewer cyclists. over a third of roads here will now be 20 mph, and these changes have been made, according to the welsh government, to reduce collisions. every day, five people die on roads right across the uk, and we know that speed is a factor in every single crash. also, we know that one in four fatal crashes involve somebody driving too fast. so speed matters on everyjourney, and the faster we drive, the greater our risk of crashing. a last—minute ditch to scrap the proposals by the conservatives was voted down in the senedd on wednesday, but the welsh government did say they would constantly review the impact of the change. the prime minister has

said it wasn't something he was considering, but speed reductions are being trialled by some councils in england, while in scotland, slower speeds will become the norm within a few years. so, for now, wales becomes the first uk nation to adopt 20 mph as the rule and not the exception. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. we've seen lots of pop stars crowdsurf over the years, but have you ever heard of crowd sailing? no, it is a bit like white water rafting. this was the beautiful moment whenjames blunt finished his set at bbc radio 2's party in the park in leicester. there he goes. that is quite cool. he climbed into a union flag inflatable dinghy and let the crowd carry him over their heads. does he get all the way to the back? that is a great way to avoid the queues to get out. you can watch his full set on the bbc iplayer,

along with other acts including texas, busted and bananarama. but i am not sure they... they all left in inflatables _ but i am not sure they... they all left in inflatables as _ but i am not sure they... they all left in inflatables as well. - but i am not sure they... they all left in inflatables as well. look i but i am not sure they... they all left in inflatables as well. look atj left in inflatables as well. look at it no. left in inflatables as well. look at it go- that's _ left in inflatables as well. look at it go. that's really _ left in inflatables as well. look at it go. that's really good. - left in inflatables as well. look at it go. that's really good. well - it go. that's really good. well done, it go. that's really good. well done. james _ it go. that's really good. well done, james blunt. _ it go. that's really good. well done, james blunt. lets - it go. that's really good. well done, james blunt. lets have j it go. that's really good. well i done, james blunt. lets have a it go. that's really good. well - done, james blunt. lets have a look at the weather, _ done, james blunt. lets have a look at the weather, shall _ done, james blunt. lets have a look at the weather, shall we? _ done, james blunt. lets have a look at the weather, shall we? sarah, . done, james blunt. lets have a look| at the weather, shall we? sarah, one of your weather watchers has been up bright and early, by the looks of it. , ., ., bright and early, by the looks of it. , ., i. bright and early, by the looks of it. yes, good morning. if you are 'ust it. yes, good morning. if you are just waking _ it. yes, good morning. if you are just waking up — it. yes, good morning. if you are just waking up and _ it. yes, good morning. if you are just waking up and opening - it. yes, good morning. if you are just waking up and opening your| just waking up and opening your curtains, you are lucky if you have a view like this one. this was one of our weather watchers, patrick and see in east sussex. booze goes around for some of us, but not everywhere. contrast that with further west, the view in somerset an hour or so ago. some heavy showers and thunderstorms have been battling in from the south overnight and will continue to push north through the day. sunshine for many of us first thing but there is

a chance of thundery downpours that will gradually spread north through much of the uk over the next 12—24 hours. on the satellite image we have a couple of things, the weather front to the west, then this will of cloud to the south of the area of low pressure that is bringing the warm humid airahead low pressure that is bringing the warm humid air ahead of it but also thundery downpours, particularly in the southwest of england and wales. rain for northern ireland, southwest scotland as well. some sunny spells across northern scotland after a chilly start. as we head through the afternoon hours, this is about lunch. have recovered followed very downpours heading into north wales as well. —— heavy, thundery downpours. showers moving on from the south. not as hot as recent days. 28 in the southeast yesterday. today 22—23. mid to high teens further north. a little warmer than recent days in northern ireland. in the latter part of the afternoon and

evening, thundery downpours continued to push north into northern england and parts of scotland. then more rain will work in from the southwest and towards the east as well. really many of us will be seeing some downpours as we start monday morning. still quite mild, temperatures in the mid teens, but something pressure is moving in from the atlantic and that is because we have a couple of areas of low pressure heading our way in the next few days. these weather fronts heading through monday will bring spells of rain but introducing brighter, fresher conditions later in the day. cloud and rain for much of scotland, central boats of england through monday morning with the odd thunderstorm around. slowly clearing eastwards, followed by a fresh of showers and sunny spells moving on from the west. a breezy field to the weather. 14— 20 degrees or so. we will have lost the humidity that has been with us for several days in the south. monday into tuesday, the next of low pressure, we will send a conveyor belt of low pressure systems over

the next few days. some rain across parts of northern ireland, england and wales is well, drifting to scotland gradually through the day on tuesday. perhaps something brighter moving on from the southwest later on. temperatures around the mid to high teens for most of us by this stage in the week. from mid week onwards, the thing doesn't change too much. very autumnal. unsettled through the week ahead. a bit of sunshine around but plenty of showers symbols on the outlook here. temperatures are much more seasonal for this time of year. one last day of perhaps drier, brighter weather before the thundery showers are going to affect many of us. showers are going to affect many of us, ,,., ., ., showers are going to affect many of us. sarah and roger? lovely, thank ou. us. sarah and roger? lovely, thank you- raincoats _ us. sarah and roger? lovely, thank you. raincoats and _ us. sarah and roger? lovely, thank you. raincoats and umbrellas - us. sarah and roger? lovely, thank you. raincoats and umbrellas at - us. sarah and roger? lovely, thankj you. raincoats and umbrellas at the ready for the lovely. maybe not. it is 7:18am- — junior doctors in england have already staged five strikes this year, but this week for the first time they will walk out at the same

time as consultants. the escalation of the pay row with the government is the first time the two groups have taken action together. but what will it mean for patients? that is the big question. we're joined now by matthew taylor, the chief executive of the nhs confederation. the nhs confederation represents healthcare providers. good morning mr taylor. thank you for talking with us. we posed the question in our introduction. what will it mean for patients? what do you think? ihiihs for patients? what do you think? nhs leaders will for patients? what do you think? hhs leaders will do what we have had to do for these strikes which now have been stretching on for almost a year if you go back to the action taken ljy if you go back to the action taken by nurses and paramedics. that is to take me action to negotiate with the trade unions, mitigations that ensure life and limb cover. but also to cancel appointments to draw up different rotors. it takes a lot of effort and energy to ensure that we manage these strakes and every time it happens, every time we have

strakes, the number of cancellations go strakes, the number of cancellations 9° up strakes, the number of cancellations go up and the challenge of reducing waiting lists becomes ever harder. as we heard, in the week, 7.7 million people now, the highest ever on the waiting lists. on friday, heads of leading hospitals in england road to the prime minister and the bma asking them to get back around the negotiating table. they said there are profound concerns for the risk that ongoing strakes poses for the care and safety of patients. how serious is this? it is for the care and safety of patients. how serious is this?— how serious is this? it is a combination _ how serious is this? it is a combination of— how serious is this? it is a combination ofjunior - how serious is this? it is a i combination ofjunior doctors how serious is this? it is a - combination ofjunior doctors and combination of junior doctors and consultants. combination ofjunior doctors and consultants. i don't think we are yet clear about the impact it will have. we will have agreed certain mitigations with the bma to try to ensure life and limb cover, christmas day cover. but the fact is, you know, if you are on a waiting list and need an appointment, for that to be cancelled, it involves risks,

involves people being sick in the community and not getting the advice operation than they need. of course there is patient harm and risks. that is inevitable. we're now talking about almost certainly over a cancellations of appointments during the industrial action. we're talking over £1 billion in cost. just this week the government committed to hundred million extra to the health service to help us through winter. but that was dwarfed by the billion or so extra costs. our estimate would be of strakes this week will probably cost more than the injection money from the government. these strakes, you know, they lead to huge burdens on the health service and the shelford group's call for the bma and the government to get together is one we we have made in the past to make past. we can only hope that this time that callers listen to. ——we have made in the past and will make repeatedly. the have made in the past and will make reeatedl . ., ., , ., repeatedly. the government has made an order it -- —

difficult at the moment to see a way forward but that has been the case in the past and a way forward has been found. in the past and a way forward has been found-— in the past and a way forward has been found. n, ._ ., ., been found. matthew taylor from the nhs confederation, _ been found. matthew taylor from the nhs confederation, thank— been found. matthew taylor from the nhs confederation, thank you - been found. matthew taylor from the nhs confederation, thank you for - nhs confederation, thank you for taking the time to talk to us this morning. just over a year ago, ourfriend and colleague bill turnbull died of prostate cancer. he was best known as a familiar face on the bbc breakfast sofa for 15 years — but he was also a dedicated wycombe wanderers fan. yes, his dedication to wik knew few bounds. —— wycombe. today, some of his family and friends will honour his legacy with by walking from wembley to the home of his beloved team in aid of the charity prostate cancer uk. our reporter graham stachell is in wembley at the starting line. graham, what's the atmosphere like there? ata at a famous face indeed. what will happen today? what is the atmosphere like this morning? goad happen today? what is the atmosphere

three early tries topped by the dancing feet of the magical mack hansen. and just before the break, a moment of history forjohnny sexton, as he overtook ronan o'gara to become ireland's record pointscorer. come the second half, accelerated out of sight, two tries for bundee aki as tonga had no answer to their pace and power. rob herring running things off. the world's number one team certainly lived up to their billing. earlier, meanwhile, wales had flocked to nice hoping to roar past portugal. after last weekend's win over fiji, on paper this should be an easier match for wales against one of the tournament's real outsiders. after all, portugal had never

won a world cup game — but although wales, wearing black, scored two first—half tries — the best from louis rees—zammit — they never hit their stride. after the break, when nicolas martins crashed over, portugal threatened something remarkable. but ultimately, taulupe faletau sealed wales a 28—8 win and a valuable bonus point. job done, but improvement required. andy swiss, bbc news, nice. job done for wales. as for ireland, as we said, johnny sexton has now moved seven clear of ronan 0'gara's tally of 1,083 points. afterwards he called it a lovely personal milestone and says his son, who is nine, is very proud of him but might one day want to break the record himself. my my little boy would be over the moon. he was talking about it during the week and it probably means more to him. he will chase it down now.

and so with the other teams, it starts to be broken, some of the young guys will be looking to is up. i am proud to do it, but tonight was more about getting the win and moving on to what is such a massive game this week. england play their second game of the world cup tonight. japan are their opponents in nice, with live commentary on 5 live from 8:00pm. last weekend they got an impressive win over argentina, albeit without scoring a try, and will be hoping to step things up with a more attacking performance tonight, even if it's not the main focus. obviously, we like to score tries and, you know, score loads of tries, but for me, it is by any means necessary, as long as we get the win. every game is different and every game will present different challenges and i think the task is to find ways to — to get on the positive side of the result. premier league now, and there was more misery for manchester united as they lost

3—1 to brighton at old trafford, piling more pressure onto manager erik ten hag. joao pedro with brighton's final goal of the day. the defeat leaves united with just six points from their opening five games. brighton in fine form, though — they're fourth in the table. late drama in north london, where sheffield united were so close to their first win of the season until tottenham scored two goals in stoppage time. richarlison equalised with his first league goal of the season, then set up dejan kulusevski to win it here with more than 100 minutes on the clock. new manager ange postecoglou's impressive start continues, with spurs second in the table with four wins from five. it was business as usual for champions manchester city, the only side in the premier league with a 100% winning record. they came from behind to beat west ham 3—1 at the london stadium. erling haaland scored city's third for the returning pep guardiola after his break following minor back surgery.

in the scottish premiership, celtic remain top after their 3—0 win over dundee, while rangers eased the pressure on manager michael beale with a 2—0 win at stjohnstone, rabbi matondo sealing the three points. rangers remain fourth in the table, four points off the top. all saturday's results are on the bbc sport website. in cricket, leicestershire are celebrating their first one—day cup title for 38 years after they beat hampshire off the last ball to win the one—day cup final at trent bridge. it was a remarkable turnaround when you consider leicestershire were 19/4 at one stage, but harry swindells hit 117 as they reached a total of 267/7. hampshire looked like they'd get there, needing eight off the last over and four from the last ball. but they fell short, with leicestershire winning by two runs on a memorable day for their supporters. american sepp kuss will ride into madrid later today to be

crowned winner of the vuelta a espana after retaining his overall lead on the penultimate stage. dutchman wout poels beat last year's winner, remco evenepoel of belgium, to take the stage victory in guadarrama. more than ten minutes later, kuss crossed the finish line with his teammatesjonas vingegaard and primoz roglic. they'll ultimately stand on the podium in that order. theirjumbo—visma team is the first to win all three grand tours in one year — a remarkable achievement. the king and queen were at doncaster yesterday for the prestigious saint leger race. but the king's horse, desert hero, missed out on victory, finishing in third place behind the winner, continuous, trained by aiden o'brien — his seventh saint leger victory. arrest was in second place, ridden by frankie dettori, meeting the king and queen here in his final classic before he retires later this year. ferrari's carlos sainz will start this afternoon's singapore grand prix from pole,

edging out george russell's mercedes after red bull struggled, with max verstappen only 11th. the first session of qualifying was stopped fractionally early after lance stroll crashed his aston martin heavily at the final corner. his car slid on to the kerb and spun into the barriers, tearing a wheel off the car and badly damaging it. he was taken to the medical centre for checks but soon released uninjured. and england's tommy fleetwood is two shots off the lead at the bmw championship at wentworth. he shot a third round of 67 to storm into contention and will be in the final pairing today with his european ryder cup teammate, the wild card pick ludvig aberg, who birdied the 18th to open up a two—shot lead, helped by this brilliant approach from the bunker. you can see why he is such an exciting talent. the ryder cup later this month. , .

tomorrow. but we start off with rain tomorrow for northern ireland and wales, down towards southwest england, the channel islands. the rain is heavy and thundery and slowly pushing northwards. some sunshine this morning for parts of the midlands towards its england and also the northern parts of scotland as well. the heavy showers and thunderstorms just creep north through the midlands down towards the london area as well through to the london area as well through to the afternoon. sunshine and further heavy showers returning from the south. temperatures in the channel islands 23 degrees or so, another 28 we saw yesterday. mid to high teens further north. contrasting temperatures. but we will all seem wet weather through the evening and into tonight. the first band of heavy rain pushes over northern ireland into scotland. every downpours returning over parts of england and wales, heavy rainfall nor northern ireland which should lead to the early hours are monday. a frost free night, not as cold as cold as it was in the north of scotland last night. still readily mild to start monday, but low

pressure dominating. a couple of weather fronts moving from west to east on monday. we will start with heavy, potentially thundery rain across parts of scotland and through the spine of england as well. the line of cloud and rain slowly clears east on monday then it will be followed by something brighter and fresher coming in from the west with these breezy conditions still peppering showers as well. temperatures typically in the mid to high teens in the north and west. we could still see 20 degrees or so for east anglia and the south—east on monday. but monday night on tuesday, we look to the atlantic as the next area of low pressure crimson. that will be more wet and windy weather for many of us on tuesday. they ran heaviest first thing for northern ireland, wales, northern england as well. but it will move further north and east through the day. many of us seeing spells of rain at some point, breezes, and averages 14/19 by the state. mid week onwards, we will keep the unsettled spell. here is

the outlook for wednesday, thursday, friday, and plenty of showers symbols on the outlook, but sunshine, too, so it won't be raining all the time. temperatures much more difficult for the time of year and it will feel blustery for the next week or so. enjoy any spells of sunshine you see 20 degrees or so for east anglia and the south—east on monday. but monday night on tuesday, we look to the atlantic as the next area of low pressure crimson. that will be more wet and windy weather for many of us on tuesday. they ran heaviest first thing for northern ireland, wales, northern england as well. but it will move further north and east through the day. we'll be back with the headlines at 8:00am. now on breakfast, it's time to get the latest technology news with click.

the royal institution of great britain. for the past two centuries, this independent charity has sought to connect as many people as possible with the wonders of science. famed for its christmas lectures, which are aired by the bbc, the royal institution's iconic theatre is a place where leading scientists regularly share their work with live audiences. one area of scientific research which affects us all is in the diagnosis and treatment of serious illnesses. now, the great thing is science has helped us live longer, but the flipside of that is that we are now discovering illnesses which mainly only occur in old age. yeah, many of us have watched the decline of loved ones with dementia, and whilst there's no cure, there are treatments to help manage the symptoms. it's really important to diagnose it early, though, and technology is helping to play its part in that. since the 1940s, gps have been testing memory with pen and paper.

and the results of that test are confirmed by a lumbar puncture. not only is that highly invasive, but it can also only be performed by a neurologist. now, researchers at university college london are using virtual reality to help detect early signs of alzheimer's disease, before it reaches the more severe stages of dementia. we know that in individuals with dementia diseases, there's two components. there's the biological component, which might be detected by a blood test, but there's also the cognitive — the thinking and the memory and the navigation component. and that's the problem that we're trying to solve, is how do— we complement new biological tests with really good cognitive tests that can detect it many years before dementia starts? if you look at the neuroscience of how the disease starts in the brain, it starts in the region that we think is responsible for our ability to navigate. there's also an incredible experience where you get completely immersed in a new environment, and the way we've designed it is a really beautiful open

field where you can see mountains, you can see pine trees. so we're trying to make it as much of a relaxing process as possible. it's time to go into the virtual world, and then i'm going to be navigating my way around. yes, exactly. from a starting point, the user has to follow the cones, and then information from the virtual landscape is removed and they need to find their way back to where they started from. and this is the controller, and you will only have i to use the trigger button, which is the one... - that one? yeah. basically, you are immersed in this virtual environment. i there's the one. i'm just going to walk towards the cliff. and as soon as you reach, you stop. i i need to remember this spot to come back to later. i'll now go to two. and three. oh, i'm somewhere else. what's happening now? so basically, this time we kept all the ground information, i

as you can notice. yeah. but we removed completely all the distant landmarks. i ok, so this is easier for distance, but harder for direction. exactly, that's great. yeah, you got it. i think it was over here. the tricky bit�*s trying to get back to cone one. oh, i'm quite close! yeah, well... well, relatively close. maybe i'm not that close at all. i'm in the right field, i think might be as close as i am. well, i don't know how i did, but it seemed rather challenging. and i've done a lot of vr before, so i'm used to walking around in one of these headsets. i wonder how it would be for someone doing it for the first time for this purpose. maybe it'd be thoroughly immersive, so it would do the job well, or maybe it would be a bit distracting and make them feel a bit nervous. i don't know. the test doesn't discriminate based on language or culture. navigation is something that we all do. we think that this is therefore a test that works across

different cultures, regardless of education, language, demographics. but we haven't tested those diverse populations who historically have always been slightly disenfranchised by standard testing and say, "well, actually, we can do it, we can apply this one and identify in you too." we've seen a turning point in alzheimer's detection recently. researchers have developed a blood test that could uncover the disease long before symptoms emerge. and a new fda—approved drug may see the progression of the disease slowed down. this means that one day it could become manageable for longer. and although they are in their early stages, it gives us hope that one day the impact of dementia may be lessened. the royal institution is famed for its role in science education. it hosts science shows and workshops, and it creates resources for schools. and thatjob's become more important than ever in a world where telling fact from fiction is becoming increasingly

difficult. and jacqui wakefield has been investigating how children are being targeted online with fake science. under—18s are the biggest audience on youtube... my favourite youtuber is a gamer called dantdm. i like, like, animalvideos. mr beast. ..and parents and schools now rely on it as a tool to access great science content. but there's a new type of content creator using artificial intelligence to create videos full of false information. imagine being told that the world you live in is not real. creators are tagging these videos as educational content, and they're often beating legitimate science videos in the race to be recommended. these videos do well because they are potentially in some way maybe conspiratorial.

you know, we're all fascinated by things that run counter to what we're officially told, and children obviously maybe are more susceptible, perhaps, to this than adults. we wanted to see if these videos were reaching children. so we created an experiment. we set up four children's accounts on youtube. each account watched 50 science videos from legitimate creators. after only four days, one of the bad science channels cropped up in the recommended videos. once we clicked these videos, they flooded our recommended feed. but would kids in the real world believe what they were seeing? with the right amount - of pressure, the great pyramid could generate a tremendous amount of electricity. - i find it really interesting that pyramids can make electricity. pyramid power plantsi were and are possible. i was quite surprised to find out... ..just a pile of rocks can form electricity. i didn't know that people| so long ago would be able

to make electricity- and use modern technology. the person who was talking sounded very professional and knew what he was talking about. we found more than 50 channels creating these bad science videos, and they are getting hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions, of views. but how are they multiplying so fast? we found out that these channels are being created using artificial intelligence. a video needs a script, and with al, it can be generated in seconds. then it needs a voice. ai vmcsovsk: it no - longer needs to be human. it's not quite there yet, but eventually we won't be able to tell the difference. then, ai can find footage from across the internet, taking from different sources, and piece together the final film. and they're full of false information like this. weather patterns have seen some remarkable changes in the past decades, but these changes might not be caused by climate change at all. here they took old footage

from a nasa expert's video. they took out his voice and replaced it with al narration saying climate change isn't caused by humans, which isn't in the original. kyle hill, a science communication specialist, educator and youtuber, began to notice these videos cropping up in his feed a couple of months ago. so being a youtube creator, i always try to have my ear to the ground for what other science and technology related channels are doing. but it wasn't until one of my viewers actually pointed out that it looked like a lot of the channels they were getting recommended after watching my videos started looking very the same. these channels seem to have identified the exact right thing and how to do that thing to maximise views with the least amount of actual effort. with new ai tools, anyone can create channels in a matter of hours, and there are hundreds of tutorials on youtube. with each video getting tens

of thousands of views, these channels can mean massive payouts for creators, and creators aren't the only ones profiting. youtube takes nearly half of advertising revenue from every video. youtube told us that they recommend youtube kids for under—13s, which has a higher bar for videos shown. they said they're committed to removing misinformation from their platforms. they also directed us to information panels that show additional context on conspiracy—related content. we found this was only present for a few of the videos across the 50 channels. they didn't comment on advertising revenue they may receive from these videos. we reached out to some of the channels for comment. one responded saying their videos were intended for entertainment purposes and that they didn't target children. they also said the majority of their scripts were not written using ai. you know, i think the idea that youtube and google making money off the back of adverts being served against pseudoscience,

ai—generated news, that's really — that seems really unethical to me. off—screen: that video was actually all fake. i'm actually...really confused. i thought that was 100% real. i would've probably believed it if you hadn't told us _ it was fake. i mean, i think i did believe it until a few minutes ago. i'm just shocked. i think this is - an emerging threat. i think that we don't have a really clear i understanding yet of how ai and ai—generated content i is really impacting - children's understanding. good information is probably going to be pushed out. we will have so much ai—generated content that you will not want to spend the time or the effort ever sifting through it. but some of the kids were able to spot that there was something not quite right about the videos. maybe because of the, like, voice, like the choice of... voice they had. yeah, they used, like, an ai voice. i thought was fake because, like, you could tell, - like, that it was not

edited properly. i ai is evolving fast. as these videos continue to multiply, bad science could drown out good content. and that's it for the short version of the programme. the full—length version can be found and iplayer. thanks for watching. we will see you soon. , .y

good morning. welcome to breakfast with sarah campbell and rogerjohnson. our headlines today. the comedian and actor russell brand is accused of rape and sexual assault following an investigation by the sunday times, the times and channel 4's dispatches.

here at channel 4, bosses say the allegations are deeply troubling, but russell brand himself took to the stage in london last night and got a standing ovation and he insists his relationships have always been consensual. authorities in eastern libya blame nature for the failure of two dams which allowed floodwater to devastate the city of derna. wales becomes the first nation in the uk to drop the speed limit from 30 to 20 miles per hour in built up areas. a landmark night for ireland and johnny sexton, as he becomes their record points scorer during an emphatic win over tonga at the world cup. and good morning. we're going to see some heavy and thundery downpours today, particularly towards the south and the west. still some spells of sunshine further north and east. i'll bring you all the details here on bbc breakfast. it's sunday the 17th of september. our top story.

the comedian russell brand has been accused of rape, sexual assaults and emotional abuse over a seven—year period at the height of his fame. the details are contained in a joint report by the sunday times, the times and the channel 4 programme dispatches. mr brand denies all the allegations. this report from our correspondent lizo mzimba contains details some viewers may find upsetting. over the course of the evening, some of my accoutrements could make their way onto your body. laughter. in the late 2000s and early 2010s, russell brand was one of britain's best—known faces... announcer: russell brand! ..famous as a comedian and presenter on both sides of the atlantic... i am famous in the united kingdom! ..even appearing in hollywood movies. one july 2012 was when my rape happened. it was in los angeles that he met a woman the investigation by the sunday times, the times and channel 4's dispatches are calling nadia.

she says they had a brief sexual relationship, but that on a later occasion he raped her. the women speaking out have had their identities disguised. he pushed me up against a wall. i'm like, what are you doing? and he's like, i have a friend here, and i... i want you to come into the bedroom. i'm like, no, that's not happening. we're not doing that. and i tried to get away from him, and at this point, he's grabbing at my — my underwear. i'm telling him to get off me and he won't get off. and he has that glazed look in his eye again. i was very distraught, trying to get out of the house... the following year, brand met a woman the investigation is calling phoebe. again, she says that they did have a sexual relationship but that it had ended when she found herself alone with him in his house. and he grabbed me and got me on the bed. i was fully clothed and he was naked

at this point, and he held me down. and i was screaming, and i was like, what are you doing? like, stop, you're my friend. i love you, please don't do this. i don't want to do this. a third woman says she met and had a brief relationship with brand when he was in his 30s and she was 16 and still at school. she says he later sexually assaulted her. i was pushing him away and pushing him away, and he wasn't... he wasn't backing off at all. and so i ended up having to punch him really hard in the stomach to get him off. and then he, like... finally then he, like — moved, fell backwards. and i was crying, and he said, "oh, i only wanted to see your mascara run anyway. " the allegations have been denied by russell brand in a video message. these allegations pertain to the time when i was working in the mainstream, when i was in the newspapers all the time, when i was in the movies. and as i've written about extensively in my books,

i was very, very promiscuous. now, during that time of promiscuity, the relationships i had were absolutely always consensual. what i seriously refute are these very, very serious criminal allegations. the comedian, who achieved fame with his risque humour and who was once married to katy perry, is now facing the most serious of accusations. lizo mzimba, bbc news. simonjones is outside channel 4 headquarters. channel 4 in the position of being a part of the team that has done this investigation and made the allegations with the dispatches programme last night but also one of the broadcasters who have in the past employed russell brand. what have they had to say this morning? russell brown —— russell brand found fame working for the reality programme big brother but it was

channel 4 that the costly expose of documentary and bosses here so they concerned by the allegations but have done a review and they can find no evidence of the claims being raised with the broadcast at the time. russell brand also was a high—profile workerfor time. russell brand also was a high—profile worker for the bbc and had a show on radio two and the bbc say he was taken off air after he was found to have left a lewd voice mail message for the actor andrew sachs about his granddaughter, nick shows that the bbc takes allegations of wrongdoing and bad behaviour seriously as for russell brand himself he took to the stage in london last night for his stand—up show and he told the audience that he was very thankful for their support and said there were things he wanted to talk about but said he was unable to do that and at the end of the show he did get a standing ovation. it's interesting that he

pre—empted this documentary by releasing that video on social media himself on friday night. interesting how he is bypassing the mainstream media as he sees it, trying to talk directly to his millions of followers but there is still concern over what has happened from the chair of the commons culture committee who says she wants to hear more from the broadcasters and fears this could be another example of an abuse of power in the television industry. the police say they are aware of the allegations but have not received any specific complaints.— not received any specific complaints. not received any specific com-laints. ,, ., ., ,, , ., , complaints. simon, thank you very much. russell brand of course appeared in hollywood films and one of the incidence was alleged to have been happening in los angeles. our correspondent david willis explained how hollywood is reacting to these allegations. the allegations against russell brand centre on a seven—year period between 2006 and 2013 in which he was at the height of his fame and spending a lot

of his time here in los angeles pursuing a nascent film career with movies such as forgetting sarah marshall and get him to the greek, hosting a show on bbc radio 2 which for several months was broadcast from these very studios, and dating the american singer katy perry, whom he subsequently married and then divorced. now, according to reports in the times, the sunday times and channel 4, russell brand committed two sexual assaults here in la, one in which he pinned a woman against the wall, it is alleged, at his home in los angeles and raped her. the reports say that that woman was subsequently admitted to a rape treatment centre on the same day but declined to file a police report because she didn't believe that her allegations would be taken seriously. russell brand is also accused

of sexually assaulting a woman whom he worked with here in la, and he is facing separate allegations of sexual assault against two other women, one of whom, it is alleged, was just 16 years old at the time. now, a spokesman for the los angeles police department contacted by the bbc said that the department currently had nothing to add to reports in the uk media. now, russell brand has vigorously denied the allegations against him and continues to insist that all of his relationships were consensual. let's catch up with the other main stories. and we start with the continued devastation in libya. the number of people killed in last week's floods in libya has reached 11,300. two dams failed in a storm which saw most of the city

of derna washed away. there are now concerns that a cholera outbreak is looming because of a lack of clean water and medicine. our correspondent anna foster reports. a landscape changed beyond recognition, a bustling city now a wasteland. the destructive power of water has ripped the heart from derna, its survivors left wracked with grief and anger. translation: we were told to stay inside our homes. i why? they should have told us there was a storm, told us the dam was old and crumbling. some of these destroyed buildings were 100 years old. faris ghassar lost five members of his family in the raging current. one was his ten—month—old daughter. he shows me their pictures, first alive, and then their bodies.

this was what brought him here — a convoy of ministers from the eastern government, one of libya's two opposing authorities. fighting has decimated the country's infrastructure. faris says it has proved fatal. i spoke to the eastern prime minister, 0sama hammad. my name is anna foster, i am from the bbc. first of all, mr hammad, how could this happen when the dams were supposed to keep people safe? "it was a very strong cyclone," he told me. "too strong for the dams." here in the centre of derna, the destruction is total. and when you look down this valley at an area that used to be filled with apartment buildings, homes, cars, thousands of people, with lives that have all been picked up and swept out to sea, you wonder how a city like this can ever recover. down at the port, derna's dead are still returning to the city.

recovery teams watch the waves and wait for them. this morning three more bodies were pulled from the debris, but thousands of others, swept far from here, will never come home. anna foster, bbc news, derna. the family of a 14—year—old boy killed in a stabbing in manchester say he was "very kind" and "caring." two boys, aged 13 and 14, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and they remain in custody. nathaniel shani died in hospital after he was found with stab wounds on friday evening. manchester and harpurhey have to start talking about smartphones that arrange altercations and young people carrying knives, and they're getting younger and younger carrying knives. and we have to put our heads together in manchester and the uk to get on top of this. otherwise there will be more anguished families in this country. five people have been injured

after being bitten by a dog at a holiday park in north wales. two men have been arrested and the dog has been seized after the incident which saw one man hospitalised with serious injuries. north wales police said the dog is not believed to be an xl bully but it is in the process of confirming its exact breed. the sea ice surrounding antarctica is at the lowest level ever recorded. satellite pictures of the ice show levels well below normal for this time of year. one scientist called them "almost mind—blowing" — and warned it could have severe consequences for the earth's temperatures. the speed limit in residential areas of wales has been reduced from 30 miles per— hour to 20 from today. the welsh government says it'll save lives, but opponents have called it a war on motorists. our wales correspondent tomos morgan has more. from today, driving slower will be the norm in built—up areas

across wales, but not everyone is happy in the slow lane. jane is a carer in barry, drives about 4—5 hours a day and is concerned with the impact it'll have on her. i'm afraid myself and my staff are going to bed thinking, "gosh, if we just take our concentration off that speedometer for two seconds, whether we've got a colleague in the car, whether the in—car phone goes, are wejust going to go up to 25 by mistake?" are you aware of the national changes coming in in september? if you're pulled over doing more than 20 then you could be fined, but the response from officers will be proportionate and reasonable. for the first 12 months there will be more focus on education, with police officers allowed a level of discretion. however, when it comes to fixed speed cameras, they'll operate using the current tolerance threshold of 10% above the speed limit plus two mph. although most roads in urban areas across wales will now have a reduced speed limit, every council

across the country have picked out exemptions — roads that'll remain at 30 mph, roads like this one that are busier with vehicles and have fewer pedestrians and fewer cyclists. over a third of roads here will now be 20 mph, and these changes have been made, according to the welsh government, to reduce collisions. every day, five people die on roads right across the uk, and we know that speed is a factor in every single crash. also, we know that one in four fatal crashes involve somebody driving too fast. so speed matters on everyjourney, and the faster we drive, the greater our risk of crashing. a last—minute ditch to scrap the proposals by the conservatives was voted down in the senedd on wednesday, but the welsh government did say they would constantly review the impact of the change. the prime minister has said it wasn't something he was considering, but speed reductions are being trialled by some councils in england, while in scotland, slower speeds will become the norm

within a few years. so, for now, wales becomes the first uk nation to adopt 20 mph as the rule and not the exception. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. we've seen lots of pop stars "crowd surf" over the years but have you ever heard of crowd sailing? well, take a look at this. this was the beautiful moment when james blunt finished his set at bbc radio 2's party in the park, in leicester. i reckon he looked at the size of the crowd and thought, how can i get out of here quickly and he came up with the ingenious idea of climbing into a dinghy. i with the ingenious idea of climbing into a dinghy-— into a dinghy. i tell you what, it works. into a dinghy. i tell you what, it works- he _ into a dinghy. i tell you what, it works. he gets _ into a dinghy. i tell you what, it works. he gets right _ into a dinghy. i tell you what, it works. he gets right to - into a dinghy. i tell you what, it works. he gets right to the i into a dinghy. i tell you what, it. works. he gets right to the back. well, we don't know if it was right to the back. well, we don't know if it was right to the back-— to the back. you could still be iioin. to the back. you could still be going- he _ to the back. you could still be going- he was _ to the back. you could still be going. he was really - to the back. you could still be | going. he was really motoring. to the back. you could still be i going. he was really motoring. we should say you _ going. he was really motoring. we should say you can _ going. he was really motoring. we should say you can watch - going. he was really motoring. we should say you can watch the i going. he was really motoring. we should say you can watch the full. should say you can watch the full set on the bbc iplayer.

along with other acts including texas, busted and bananarama. we don't know if there was a flotilla of dinghies. pretty good though, well done. it’s flotilla of dinghies. pretty good though, well done.— here's sarah with a look at the weather. some reasonably warm temperatures yesterday but it is all on the turn. that sums it up nicely. yesterday we had 28 degrees in the south—east but today we will see thunderstorms pushing their way in so temperatures coming down and we will see something more autumnal in the next few days. this was the picture in kent, a serene start and many places start with sunny spells especially in the north and the east but there is the threat of heavy showers and thunderstorms that will affect much of the uk in the next 12 or 24 hours so some very unsettled conditions and we've already had them working

in from the south—west and you can see the swirling cloud out to the south pushing its way in and we have a weather front heading in from the atlantic but sunshine in the north and then freezing in a few spots and sunshine in the midlands and east anglia but further west we have rain for northern ireland and wales and heavy, thundery downpours already moving across the channel islands and the south—west of england and if you're heading to radio two in the park you might catch these torrential downpours in the middle of the afternoon that they will push their way north into the evening. top temperature is still 22 or 23 and feeling humid and muggy in the south but further north we are looking at the mid to high teens. into the evening a rash of heavy showers and thunderstorms clears away from the midlands so parts of northern england, northern ireland seeing more rain and then heavy downpours in the south—east as well

and for scotland it's also turning wet and there might be the odd rumble of thunder around. reasonably mild, certainly a rumble of thunder around. reasonably mild, certainlya mild night rumble of thunder around. reasonably mild, certainly a mild night across scotland compared to last night and cloud and rain to start things off tomorrow and we will see a couple of weather fronts pushing their way east and as they do, the warm, humid air will get cleared away to the near continent so we are left with an atlantic influence and some heavy rain first thing on monday and down the spine of england as well and the first batch clears east and then it is sunshine and a peppering of blustery showers moving in from the west so temperatures not as warm as we've seen in the south but still up to 20 degrees or so with highs of 14 for the likes of bell forster. moving from monday into tuesday, the next area of low pressure gathers pace and here it is, quite a few isobars showing it will be quite a windy spell of weather so threw into tuesday there is rain likely particularfor tuesday there is rain likely particular for northern ireland, wales and northern england and

pushing into scotland and may be something dry are working into southern parts of england but blustery downpours and back in the teens for most of us and a different feel to the weather and through mid week that will be the picture. we will wave goodbye to the spell of late summer warmth and walk —— welcome in autumn but there is sunshine around but also blustery downpours. sunshine around but also blustery downpours-— sunshine around but also blustery down iours. ., ,., ., , downpours. time to get some washing downpours. time to get some washing d on the downpours. time to get some washing dry on the line — downpours. time to get some washing dry on the line but _ downpours. time to get some washing dry on the line but that _ downpours. time to get some washing dry on the line but that might - downpours. time to get some washing dry on the line but that might be i dry on the line but that might be it. , , , ., ., ~ sam newey was just 22 years old when he was killed fighting russian forces in ukraine. the student from solihull was leading an assault on an enemy trench when he died two weeks ago. now his mother says she couldn't be prouder of his decision to volunteer for combat. giles latcham reports. aged just 22, sam knew he was growing into a leader. this is one of the last videos of him. please donate to help us.

slav, ukraine. two weeks ago, his unit stormed a russian trench and freed ukrainian prisoners. he held the position until everyone else was clear. and for his mum, vicki his courage is a comfort. sam waited for all of his unit to be safe, but he also rescued prisoners. so he set people free and then was hit by artillery. so, i couldn't be more proud of my boy as a human being. and any parent would be. when the war started, sam quit his university course in birmingham to travel to ukraine. he began as a medic and aid worker, helping communities affected by flooding. so we had one little fire fight, just one. elias managed to kill

one of the dusters. but later following in the footsteps of his big brother dan, who spent five years fighting isis in syria, he went into combat. dan eventually becoming his commanding officer. not once did he ever show any sign of fear. courageous throughout. and i couldn't have been more proud of him. it's quite a weird feeling to be in combat anyway. but when you're in combat with your blood brother, that's a completely different ballgame. you kind of have to take extra care at looking at things, but you don't want to be obvious about it. so you have to kind of beast everybodyjust as hard as you beast your own brother, but you have to be even more harder on your brother. so it's quite a complicated thing, but like i say, i was lucky enough to be involved in firefights with them, but he was just an excitable, eager young man. the family's raised £25,000 to fly his body home and pay for his funeral. by one estimate, there are more than 50 britons fighting in ukraine. sam's mum wants to start a fund to pay for counselling to help them

when they get home. they're are ex—military volunteering who will get help when they get home. but there are also youngsters like sam, who on return home and if they're lucky enough to come home, will struggle massively. i've had a lot of friends like kill themselves since they came back from different war zones. i think over the years it's about 13 or 14 people i've lost. i mean, the war doesn't end when you come home. you've got another war when you get back as well. dan plans to return to ukraine despite his brother's death. and for anyone who questions sam's decision to fight, his mum has this message. he left the comfort of a peaceful country to enter a war zone, to save and help other human beings. and i am immensely proud. that was vikki downes talking to our reporter giles latcham.

let's talk to retired lieutenant—colonel glen grant. he's from the think tank ukrainian institute for the future and joins us now from riga. thank you so much forjoining us today, and we heard from some's family and there is another case of daniel, 36—year—old volunteer from britain recently found. what can you tell us about the number of brits who are going over and volunteering to fight in ukraine? you who are going over and volunteering to fight in ukraine?— to fight in ukraine? you mentioned on the report. _ to fight in ukraine? you mentioned on the report, about _ to fight in ukraine? you mentioned on the report, about 50. _ to fight in ukraine? you mentioned on the report, about 50. reports i on the report, about 50. reports i've had is that it slightly less than that but let's say 50 as a number. what people have to understand, really is anybody who volunteers to go and fight is liable not to come back because this is a really, really bad war zone and this

is not something that should be taken lightly by anybody. at all. it's not a computer game. lligfhat taken lightly by anybody. at all. it's not a computer game. what do ou think it's not a computer game. what do you think are _ it's not a computer game. what do you think are the _ it's not a computer game. what do you think are the motivations i it's not a computer game. what do you think are the motivations for i you think are the motivations for the people you have come across as volunteers? it’s the people you have come across as volunteers?— volunteers? it's interesting. it seems to _ volunteers? it's interesting. it seems to be — volunteers? it's interesting. it seems to be a _ volunteers? it's interesting. it seems to be a wide _ volunteers? it's interesting. it seems to be a wide range - volunteers? it's interesting. it seems to be a wide range of l seems to be a wide range of motivations. some people arejust trying to find out about themselves and what sort of person they are. others are driven by wanting to support and help ukraine because they see the injustice and the horrible loss of the whole thing. fighting on the front line is not the only thing people can do because there is still a lot of people neededin there is still a lot of people needed in support areas. we have a lot of volunteers, much more than 50 who are running aid from the uk,

mercenaries. there have been examples of people prosecuted under anti—terrorist laws who have gone to fight in other conflicts, one example being someone who went to fight in turkey, around the syrian conflict. , ., �* , fight in turkey, around the syrian conflict. , ., v , conflict. yes, that's exactly right and it would _ conflict. yes, that's exactly right and it would be _ conflict. yes, that's exactly right and it would be hard _ conflict. yes, that's exactly right and it would be hard to - conflict. yes, that's exactly right| and it would be hard to prosecute somebody under uk law given that the uk government and the uk in general is giving so much to ukraine. you would have a very strong moral argument, ajustice would have a very strong moral argument, a justice argument that you are only doing what the country and government says it wants you to do. but even so, people have to remember if you are going to go anywhere near the front line, you are going to get bombarded by artillery and you are likely not come back and that is a significant thing. it'sjust a hero come back and that is a significant thing. it's just a hero thing to do. you have to be good at yourjob if

you go there. there are people who are wanted with medical skills or ambulance crews who have been doing it for ten years, or ex soldiers who have ten or 15 years experience and they will be well wanted but people who go there with no expense whatsoever are a burden on the system, and many people are not happy that they come at all. clearly these peeple _ happy that they come at all. clearly these people have _ happy that they come at all. clearly these people have a _ happy that they come at all. clearly these people have a compulsion - these people have a compulsion almost to help in some way if, as you are suggesting, this is not the best way to help, what is? the best wa is best way to help, what is? the best way is raising _ best way to help, what is? the best way is raising money _ best way to help, what is? the best way is raising money and _ best way to help, what is? the best way is raising money and finding - way is raising money and finding equipment for people on the front line and you can do this through either supporting official charities or you can go on to facebook and quickly identify units in the front line, brigades who are asking for specific items of support like night

hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and sarah campbell.

after wins for ireland and wales, can england continue their winning start at the world cup tonight? japan are their opponents in nice. former england scum—half and world cup winner matt dawson joins us now. england was a good win over argentina last weekend after all the problems, the need to make a statement, put in a more attacking performance and show they can stretch teams, should that be the focus today are not? your mac seems to be the focus for everybody outside the england to be the focus for everybody outside the englan- to be the focus for everybody outside the englan to be the focus for everybody outside the enaulan s. , outside the england camp, whether it is the focus in — outside the england camp, whether it is the focus in the _ outside the england camp, whether it is the focus in the england _ outside the england camp, whether it is the focus in the england camp - outside the england camp, whether it is the focus in the england camp we l is the focus in the england camp we shall wait and see. i'm very much along the lines it is about winning, it is very important to win these games and get momentum going into the quarterfinal if they win this

game againstjapan. of course we would love to see loads of tries from england. iwas would love to see loads of tries from england. i was incredibly happy in the way england got through that game against furious so england will have to be wary of that. but there is no question england's attack will click at some stage. maybe it will be tonight, but i'm just hopeful england will win the game rather than scoring a bag of tries. it england will win the game rather than scoring a bag of tries. it has been a different _ than scoring a bag of tries. it has been a different mood _ than scoring a bag of tries. it has been a different mood spring - than scoring a bag of tries. it has been a different mood spring in l been a different mood spring in their step. been a different mood spring in theirstep. do been a different mood spring in their step. do you sense the difficult run they have had has brought this group closer together? what you make of the balance of personalities they have on that site? j personalities they have on that site? ~' ., , ,., site? i think there was something different last _ site? i think there was something different last week, _ site? i think there was something different last week, no _ site? i think there was something different last week, no question |

we have pitched before as being world—class and now on the world stage that is where the need to be and if they are england will be a very dangerous side and other teams will be hoping england those players don't get that level because we will be tough to beat. i don't get that level because we will be tough to beat.— be tough to beat. i have to talk about ireland _ be tough to beat. i have to talk about ireland and _ be tough to beat. i have to talk about ireland and sexton - be tough to beat. i have to talk about ireland and sexton and l be tough to beat. i have to talk l about ireland and sexton and the record scorer now in that win over tonga. what makes him so special? firstly, his physicalfitness is amazing. i think he is 38 now and to be playing this game at this level consistently, and yes he has had a few bumps and bruises along the way but my goodness me, he is in shape, and all of the year is an experience at the very top in world cups and european championships and domestic league competitions, he is able to bring it onto the field and bring

the team around him through the game. he is a fly—half and understands the game superbly well. physically he is able to still do the things he wants his brain to do which is never usually the case at a 30—year—old to ao—year—old. and he has the respect of the team and the coaching and the nation around him. and also a rugby and that it might individual, somebody that rugby fan should be very proud of whether you support island or not. ida should be very proud of whether you support island or not.— support island or not. no scotland -la in: support island or not. no scotland playing this _ support island or not. no scotland playing this weekend _ support island or not. no scotland playing this weekend so _ support island or not. no scotland playing this weekend so for - support island or not. no scotland| playing this weekend so for wales, not convincing against portugal and this new look side, the balance of experience and youth, where they aren't at the moment? it is experience and youth, where they aren't at the moment?— aren't at the moment? it is i was auoin to aren't at the moment? it is i was going to be _ aren't at the moment? it is i was going to be difficult _ aren't at the moment? it is i was going to be difficult one, - aren't at the moment? it is i was going to be difficult one, how - aren't at the moment? it is i was i going to be difficult one, how many times we see can you back it up from

face that and deal with it and at this moment we don't deal that well with it but we can do, we showed last year and we have to show the determination be shown at. —— and we have shown it. late drama in north london where sheffield united were so close to their first win of the season until tottenham scored two goals in stoppage time. richarlison equalised with his first league goal of the season then set up dejan kulusevski to win it here with more than 100 minutes on the clock. new manager ange postecoglou's impressive start continues with spurs second in the table with four wins from five. it's exactly the same for liverpool, who also had to come from behind to win at wolves. first, stand—in captain andy robertson put them in front with five minutes to go, before a deflected harvey elliot shot. given as an own goal saw them win 3—1win at molineux. the third time in five premier league matches that liverpool have come from a goal down

to take all three points. they came from behind to beat west ham 3—1 at the london stadium. erling haaland scored city's third for the returning pep guardiola, after his break following minor back surgery. in the scottish premiership, celtic remain top after their 3—0 win over dundee, while rangers eased the pressure on manager michael beale with a 2—0 win at stjohnstone, rabbi matondo sealing the three points. rangers remain fourth in the table, four points off the top. all saturday's results are on the bbc sort website. ferrari's carlos sainz will start this afternoon's singapore grand prix from pole, edging out george russell's mercedes, after red bull struggled with max verstappen only 11th. the first session of qualifying was stopped fractionally early after lance stroll

crashed his aston martin heavily at the final corner. his car slid on to the kerb and spun into the barriers, tearing a wheel off the car and badly damaging it. he was taken to the medical centre for checks but soon released uninjured. he'll miss today's race, though. in cricket, leicestershire are celebrating their first one—day cup title for 38 years after they beat hampshire off the last ball to win the one—day cup final at trent bridge. it was a remarkable turnaround when you consider leicestershire were 19—li at one stage, but harry swindells hit 117 as they reached a total of 267—7. hampshire looked like they'd get there — needing eight off the last over, and four from the last ball, but they fell short — with leicestershire winning by two runs on a memorable day for their supporters. the king and queen were at doncaster yesterday for the prestigious saint ledger race, but the king's horse, desert hero missed out on victory finishing in third place behind the winner, continuous, trained by aiden o'brien. his seventh saint ledger victory.

arrest was in second place, ridden by frankie dettori — meeting the king and queen here — in his final classic before he retires later this year. with the growing pressure on gps, we're often told we should be using local pharmacies to get advice. but what if you no longer have one? more than 1,000 pharmacies across the country are expected to close this year. now one mp is warning the government that that the shortage could soon become as serious as the lack of dentists. andrew sinclair reports. simon ingram has been running the cromer pharmacy in norfolk for the last ten years. 0k? yeah, it is. it's busy and it can be hard work to balance the books.

the cost of running the shop keeps going up, and yet the fee he gets from the nhs hasn't changed in four years. when we lose a member of staff, we might not be able to replace them. you know, we are having to look at what we can spend. you know, we have had many members of the team choosing themselves to come in, work through their lunches, come in early to try and keep up with the workload because they're concerned that things won't be ready for patients when it needs to be. how much of a crisis is this for this pharmacy? i'd say it's pretty large, really. he says from time to time, the two other pharmacies in the town have to temporarily close, putting more pressure on him and inconveniencing customers. there are 10% fewer community pharmacies than there were seven years ago. across the country, more than 200 closed in the first half of this year, and there are more than 700 expected to close in the next few months. and according to one survey, three quarters of pharmacies could be at risk of closing. the problem is said to be particularly bad in rural areas where it's harder to recruit staff. pharmacies are still the only health care professional that you can see

without an appointment free of charge. it's notjust funding pressures. hundreds of pharmacists have been persuaded by the nhs to leave pharmacies and work instead in gp surgeries. it's providing a better service for patients, but is an added pressure for pharmacists who are already struggling to find staff. the steady stream of closures will turn into a torrent. this afternoon the problems were raised in parliament by an mp who knows all about nhs pressures. there are, sir mark, clear comparisons to be drawn with the current state of nhs dentistry and it is vital that action is taken to prevent a repeat of this particular nightmare. the health minister admitted that there were pressures on the sector. he recently announced £645 million of new funding and money for more training places.

the opposition parties question if it will be enough. this is another part of the nhs that's under a lot of pressure. it and mr aldous will be hoping that things will soon turn a corner. that was andrew sinclair reporting. on bbc one at nine o'clock this morning it's time for sunday with laura kuenssberg. let's find out what she's got in store. join me in half an hour over on bbc one. with that disaster unfolding in libya, in the chair will be the foreign secretary, james cleverly. what more could or should the uk do to help people stranded in that country? of course we'll be talking to about the scandal around the star russell brand and an issue that affects families everywhere. how should kids be helped to manage the world online? after months of delays, the government is finally about to bring in a new law to tackle online safety. but does it really make things safe for kids on the internet? molly russell's father, ian russell,

who's become a prominent campaigner on this issue, willjoin us, too. i hope to see you over on bbc one, not long at nine o'clock. it has been bringing the cinema experience to rural communities for 25 years, but there are fears scotland's only mobile cinema may soon have to come off the road. films are currently being shown in a leased vehicle after the purpose—built screen machine suffered multiple breakdowns, but there's no funding secured to extend its lease. iain macinnes has more. for the last 25 years, the screen machine has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, reaching just about every inhabited scottish island and many rural communities in between. today, ullapool is the venue, but the future for this mobile cinema is uncertain.

since we've taken the hire of the cinemamobile, we've had to restrict the venues that we can visit on a regular basis. massive disappointment. we're getting emails, we're getting texts, we're getting lots of social media, not complaints, because they understand that we're trying our best. the lease on this vehicle only runs until april of next year, and at the moment there's no sign of an extension and there's no replacement vehicle on order. the concern is that many more brutal and island communities could miss out. we're unable to visit seven islands that we would normally get to. so customers on, for example, cumbrae and jura are already feeling the disappointment of not being able

to to visit the screen machine. with nothing else in the pipeline will be faced with winding the service down. the screen machine has brought the world of cinema to many of our rural and island communities. but more than that, it's inspired a new generation of filmmakers and actors. watching films in the screen machine inspired me to want to tell stories and go on to become a bafta winning film and tv drama director. not having the screen machine would be like not having your loved family member come to visit. and that provides so much warmth and spirit and gives you the chance the solution — a replacement purpose built cinema will cost £1.11 million and take over a year to complete.

now customers have been urged to lobby the scottish government for what could be a more green screen machine working towards net zero. this is a mega event to be able to just come along and throw a magic lorry that opens up into a cinema. i think it's just such a great asset. i really do always have. it feels more community and you know, everybody actually can have a wee talk and then afterwards everybody knows what has been going on. and the scottish government says there's significant pressure on the funding of cultural organisations, but that it's working closely with the sector. without intervention though, the future of film and far from parts of scotland may be in doubt. ian mcinnes, bbc news. here's sarah with a look at the weather. this picture comes from highland scotland. the stripes in the side. a gorgeous start to the day. pretty chilly across northern parts of scotland at the moment, temperatures down below freezing. under clear skies. furthersouth down below freezing. under clear skies. further south chlamydia but the timidity will spark off thunderstorms today so a chance of thundery downpours for many of us, particularly northern parts of england and wales. you can see this kind in the satellite image, an area of low pressure drifting south and also a weather front moving in from

the west so all in all fairly unsettled a few days ahead. some rain over the next few hours from northern ireland into wales, down toward south wales in the south—west of england and the channel islands stop that rain really heavy and thundery and thunderstorms towards the isle of wight. some sunshine for the isle of wight. some sunshine for the midlands, east anglia and south—east ahead of thundery downpours that pushed north through the middle of the afternoon. more showers return from the south. not as hot as yesterday, still 20 to 23 degrees, feeling quite humid in the south and further north much cooler and fresher, typically mid to high teens. this evening heavy rain and thunderstorms push across parts of northern england and northern ireland and more rain across scotland. forsouthern ireland and more rain across scotland. for southern england more spells of heavy charity thundery rain. you might see large—scale and wind smalling. —— squalls. the

cooler and fresher air will work in from the west behind this front sweeping it slowly westwards through the day. quite a few isobars show the day. quite a few isobars show the winds will pick up through the day. monday starts with rain for central scotland, down the spine of england, showers in the south slowly that area just east and more sunshine from the west with study showers. maybe not quite as heavy as thundery as the downpours we see today. temperatures mid—teens, possibly 20 towards the south—east but the heat and humidity clearing away and low pressure and weather fronts working n. the remnants of a former hurricane tied up with the low pressure moving and through the middle of the week so choose the blustery rain to come, spreading north and east for many parts of the uk and perhaps a bit drier in the south—east. temperatures about 1k degrees to 19 degrees. all in all,

fairly unsettled tuesday into wednesday and that area of low pressure bringing spells of rain. the outlook for the rest of the working week, some rain symbols on the chart but a bit of brightness in between although it will feel blustery and much cooler than it has especially in the south. it was one of the most memorable and hard—hitting tv dramas of the 1980s, telling the story of mass unemployment through the experiences of a group of men from liverpool. we're talking, of course, about boys from the black stuff, including the unforgettable yosser hughes. let's take a look. you are graeme souness, aren't you? yeah.

you're famous. well... i'm yosser hughes. pleased to meet you. you look like me. 0h, aye? magnum, as well. pardon? magnum. a detective, years ago in the television, an american. 0h, aye? more than a0 years later it's back as a play, which opened in liverpool this weekend. before the curtain went up, i sat down for a chat with the original writer — alan bleasdale — and james graham, who adapted it for the stage. it's never been seen on the stage and i never thought it would be seen on the stage.

i think i personally owe a huge debt to, first of all, kevin foon, who was at the royal court, who every new year's day for several years would ring me up and begged me to do an adaptation of the boys from the blackstuff, and i said i wouldn't and i couldn't. i didn't know anyone who could. and then kate, the director wrote to me and i turned her down. and then everyone told me i turned down a tremendous young talent. and she wrote to me again. then she introduced me to another tremendous young talent. you know how bitterly i say the word young boy sitting next to you. yes. wasjames graham. and so the combination of those

people and a remarkable company of actors and everyone here at the royal court has made this possible. and james, you were born the year that this hit the television in 1982. yes. yeah. i mean, it meant so obviously i couldn't i couldn't see it when it first went out, but i saw it when it got repeated at some point. and it meant such a lot to me and my family, because even though we're not from liverpool, alan's writing and his work and these characters, they help make sense to me of the situation i was experiencing and my family were experiencing growing up in the mid—90s by that point where there was economic desperation and everyone was losing theirjobs. i can do that, i can carry| things, i've had practice. and i think

that's the thing. even though this is set, what now, 41 years ago, unfortunately, there was a universal resonance to the themes of people struggling and those parallels we see today, don't we? alan, you must be slightly depressed by it, i suppose. incredibly depressed because things haven't changed and people say, well, you know, there was unemployment and people were signing on and that doesn't happen quite so much now. the dreadful thing for us and for everyone involved in this is that bad things are still happening to the same people. that's what makes all of us involved in this angry. they're different bad things, but they're still bad things. it's a quality of life for people like us and from where we come from. not important. 1984, this was the miner's village. you know what folk are saying? someone's targeting striking miners, inviting sherwood. l i took a lot of leaves out of the bleasdale book in terms of how you how you try to create a whole ensemble, a whole community of characters, and how their sort of economic condition drives a lot of their choices and a lot

of their struggles. but also what i really took and what i hope an audience live on stage gets to appreciate is people forget how funny black stuff was. go on. i could do that. you don't have to walk straight. i can walk straight. go on. get set. go. put the nets up as well. these characters are incredibly witty. they have that liverpudlian sort of gallows humour where they look at their difficult legacy and theyjust take the mickey out of it and they take the mickey out of each other. the way that alan writes. so lyrically, these characters express themselves so passionately and so beautifully and with such humor. i think that's hopefully what it's going to add to the experience of watching it on stage, because you get

the audience, we hope, laughing along and feeling sort of like that communal, collective experience. i wouldn't have done this anywhere else, and i didn't think i was going to do it at the royal court because i didn't think it could be done. and thanks to the people who were involved in it, no one more so than than the person sat next to me and the director and the producer and the artist. it's going to happen. and i hope i've seen fantastic nights of the royal court, where the celebration of theatre and life has been truly remarkable on both sides of the of the stage and the audience. if it's anything like that, i'll be extremely happy. that's lovely to meet two people with such mutual respect. thank you. thank you both very much. thank you. earlier in the programme we were live at wembley stadium where more than 300 people were about to set off on a big walk in aid of the charity prostate cancer uk. this is them setting off at 7.30 this morning led by the broadcasterjeff

stelling. they're walking 26 miles to the home stadium of wycome wanderers. one of the people they are walking for is our friend and former colleague bill turnbull who died from the disease last year. as well as being a fixture on the breakfast sofa for many years he was also a massive wycombe wanderers fan — and that's the destination for the walkers today. 26 miles... that's all from us today. have a lovely day. goodbye.

there's plenty to talk about this morning, at home and abroad. a city swept away — floods in libya, only days after a huge earthquake in morocco. thousands and thousands of lives lost. natural challenges, and perhaps dangerous diplomatic ones too. russia and north korea's

leaders, side by side. an alleged chinese spy roving our parliament. probation, prison, schools, china — yet again inaction man fails to heed the warnings... labour faces its own questions about tougher talk on immigration, glad handing in the hague and across the pond. i don't think it's credible that he really wants to grip this problem. so our main question this morning — how should our politicians handle relations around the world? who better to answer that question than the foreign secretary, james cleverly? and is this the most powerful man in labour most people have never heard of? pat mcfadden, who's in charge of keir starmer�*s election campaign. and plans to make the online world safer are about to become law after tireless work by campaingers like ian russell — who's daughter molly
