that's because you probably are. i'll explain shrinkflation, and whether shoppers should be warned. in sport, newcastle united prepared to make their champions league return after a 20 year absence in what will be a special night ahead for the club and its fans. plenty of rain around across the uk and if you are in england and wales, windy day expected. all the details here and breakfast. it's tuesday 19th september. consultants and junior doctors in england are set to stage their firstjoint strike in the history of the nhs. consultants begin a two—day strike at 7am, and junior doctors willjoin them tomorrow morning. the government says in order to protect patient safety, it is considering introducing minimum service level regulations, that would require some doctors to work during strikes. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes has this report. 13—year—old phoebe is

waiting for an operation on the tumour on her face. twice it's been cancelled because of industrial action by doctors. last week it was due to go ahead again, but this time there was no bed available. the delays are taking their toll. i'm not going to say it's selfish cos i understand with the cost—of—living crisis, it's very hard at the moment — especially for some people who maybe aren't getting paid as much as they should, especially for what they do. and i respect them, i really do, but for patients like me, it's really draining to keep having it, like, postponed, and really mentally damaging because you don't know what's going to be — you're getting so much anxiety from when it's next going to be. today's action by consultant doctors in england will be their third walk—out. the previous consultant strike days — which occurred last month — saw nearly 16,000 appointments cancelled or delayed, with around 6,000 staff off each day. overall, the nhs in england has seen

ten months of industrial action, during which more than 885,000 inpatient and outpatient appointments have been rescheduled. but for doctors like richard clarkson, these strikes are notjust about pay, but the future of the health service. you know, we have got to use this moment to really get the message across that we are haemorrhaging talent overseas. we are in a situation where the brightest and the best in schools aren't going to go into medicine, they're not going to want to become medical consultants — they're probably going to want to become financial consultants or management consultants. we want the brightest and best to be treating our families in the nhs for years to come. no ifs, no buts, no junior doctor cuts. tomorrow the consultants will be joined by their junior—doctor colleagues. nhs bosses predict almost all planned care will be affected. the government has announced it's looking at introducing minimum service levels in hospitals during strike action — defining the number of doctors, nurses and other front—line staff needed to cover urgent emergency and time—critical services.

meanwhile, phoebe is facing an anxious wait to see if her latest operation — planned for thursday — will finally go ahead. dominic hughes, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. good morning. the government says it will consult on these minimum levels of service during strikes. there is potentially a risk that this could inflame what our already pretty tense negotiations.— inflame what our already pretty tense negotiations. well, as you sa , tense negotiations. well, as you say. there _ tense negotiations. well, as you say. there are — tense negotiations. well, as you say, there are already _ tense negotiations. well, as you say, there are already such - tense negotiations. well, as you i say, there are already such serious tensions between government and between the health workers and their representatives that it is kind of hard to see how they could get much worse. i mean, just look at what is happening this week. as you head there, consultants going on strike in an hour orso there, consultants going on strike in an hour or so for 48 hours, junior doctors are beginning a three—day strike on wednesday. that means on wednesday, for the first time in this dispute, bothjunior

doctors and consultants will be on strike at the same time. now that is a sign that these negotiations, that the relationship between the government and the health unions is pretty bad already. but look, as you say, this government plan will inflame that and i think they know that it well. what is going on here is a steve backley the health secretary says the government is going to consult on how it might be able to enforce some minimum level of medical service beyond what is currently being provided on strike dates, the so—called christmas level. there will be a greater level of service than that, probably starting early in the year of the government proceeds as planned. what you see here is the reality that there is a big gulf in the negotiations. junior doctors and consultants both want talks on pay to reopen. the government view is that the question of pay was closed earlier this year when they gave consultants and a 6% pay rise and junior doctors a little bit more

than that. and so i expect that we will be having conversations like this with strikes ongoing and with the government talking about ways in which to mitigate the impact of those strikes for some time to come. henry, for now, thank you very much. that is our chief political correspondent henry zeffman in westminster. sally has the rest of the stories for the day. the metropolitan police has received a report of an alleged sexual assault in 2003, following allegations about the actor and comedian russell brand. four women have accused him of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse. russell brand denies the allegations. 0ur reporter vincent mcaviney is at new scotland yard. good morning. what more do we know? offices here at new scotland yard i'm not naming it russell brand but they say a woman has made contact alleging a serious sexual assault in sohoin alleging a serious sexual assault in soho in central london in 2003. she is being supported by specialist

officers. this follows a call out for metropolitan police that the mecca after the allegations came at on saturday that anyone who had a sexual assault should come forward, no matter when it was come and speak to them. they say they have also had contact with the newspapers and programme team who have investigated all this to ensure the women who took part know that they can also make contact with the met at any point. i can pretend to be nice for a little bit of time... russell brand made a career out of courting controversy. once again this morning, he's on the front page of the newspapers. brand says it's all untrue, and suggests a mainstream media plot. what i seriously refute are these very, very serious criminal allegations. also, it's worth mentioning that there are witnesses whose evidence directly contradicts the narratives that these two mainstream media outlets are trying to construct — apparently in what seems to me to be a coordinated attack. a suggestion that one of the women interviewed by dispatches says is simply insulting. it's laughable that he would even

imply that this is some kind of mainstream media conspiracy. called alice on the programme, she says she was assaulted by brand during a relationship that began when she wasjust 16 and he was in his 30s. yesterday on woman's hour, she described how she was picked up by a car she says that brand had ordered through the bbc. you believe a bbc car picked you up from school to take you somewhere to meet him? it was back to his house. and you know that because of the way that you'd seen these cars used — that's your understanding of it being a bb... yes, and because i'd used one of their cars previously that he'd told me just to tell the driver where to take me. the bbc is now looking into the allegations, along with a host of other media organisations — but there have long been rumours. the investigating team were far from the first to look into brand. russell brand was meant to be performing here tonight at a theatre in windsor,

but that show and the rest of his current stand—up tour have been postponed. russell brand might have more to worry about than theatres cancelling on him now. the involvement of the metropolitan police is a serious development that will likely lead to an investigation and they will likely want to speak to him. again, russell brand denies all allegations. it is, though, we know, very difficult for women to come forward and make allegations of sexual assault, even more so when there is a celebrity involved. there is increasing pressure, as well, the broadcasters coming from politicians, and a number 10 spokesperson saying these are very serious allegations and they need to be transparency from the media industry. another part of the media coming under some scrutiny is a social media. russell brand is still on multiple platforms, and in particular youtube. on multiple platforms, and in particularyoutube. he on multiple platforms, and in particular youtube. he has over 6 million followers watching his videos which have adverts which means he is getting money from

those. despite attempts to contact google, though, we have had no statement from him on them —— from then. the metropolitan police says more than a thousand officers are currently suspended or on restricted duties, as it tries to root out corruption in its ranks. the met says it will take years to get rid of officers who have breached standards or failed vetting — and there are plans for 60 misconduct hearings every month for possibly the next two years. we police by consent in this country. we know we've got so much to do to rebuild that trust and to rebuild that connection. the more effort that we do to identify those who are corrupting policing and corrupting that contract — and we will be, and we will continue to do that — the more difficult cases will come to light. the government has shown a "lack of leadership and deep—rooted complacency" in regulating the water industry, according to a house of lords committee. in an open letter to the environment secretary, peers call for urgent improvements

in the handling of the sewage problem and better protection for vulnerable customers. here's our environment correspondentjonah fisher. wherever we go to report on sewage spills, there's one item we keep seeing. so just on that reed there, you can see that that's a wet wipe that's caught on there. i can just see an awful lot of wet wipes. i can't see... i mean, it doesn't look very nice, but i can mainlyjust see wet wipes on there. along the banks of the thames, they're changing the course of the river. so this is what we refer to as a wet—wipe reef. so why is it still legal to sell plastic wipes that flush but never really go away? the water industry, the public, - all of those who've been consulted upon previously have said get rid of wet wipes _ the government, instead of getting on and does it, just says, well, - you need a consultation. that's not proper leadership. wet wipes is just one of the issues raised by the lords' industry and regulators committee in a letter that's highly critical of the government's policies

on water and sewage. well, the government has, for the last decade or so, l failed to address this - problem of underinvestment. they've run away from it. and, of course, the longer they run away from it, - the more it increases. and we saw no determination, no determined leadership - from the government to actually drive this through. _ the government says it firmly disagrees with the lords' committee, and that it's delivering increased investment, stronger regulation, and tougher enforcement to the water sector. a consultation on wet wipes that contain plastic will start this autumn, with the government saying it is committed to introducing a ban. jonah fisher, bbc news. the future of birmingham city council is to be discussed in the commons later,

with the government expected to announce that it will intervene in its running. the local authority effectively declared bankruptcy earlier this month, saying it couldn't afford to settle an equal pay claim of around three quarters of a billion pounds. the us military has found debris from the stealth fighterjet which vanished over south carolina on sunday after the pilot ejected amid a so—called "mishap". in a statement, officials said the debris was located the $80 millionjet was abandoned on auto—pilot, crashing hours later. officials struggled to find the aircraft because of its stealth technology. the government is expected to update its list of schools in england, known to be affected by the faulty concrete, raac. 147 schools in england were named in august, but the government has repeatedly said that number is likely to rise. there are also 33 schools affected in scotland and two in wales. our correspondent ellie price reports. they knew they had a problem with raac at this school in sandbach a year ago.

it put the dinner hall out of action, but after a lot of this, the kids should finally be let back in in about five weeks' time. so this is our temporary dining marquee. so, around 12 months ago, we moved out of the raac building. the dfe have been really supportive — they gave us the funding to get this solution in place right away. obviously, the main challenge with this space over the course of the winter has obviously been plummeting temperatures — you know, not as good as a permanent building. at least 19 english schools — affecting just under 10,000 pupils — had to delay the start of the new term because of similar problems with concrete in their buildings. later, the department for education will release an updated list of how many schools in england have raac. so far, it's1li7. i think everyone is bound to worry about the disruption. we know that there are some schools where young people can't all be in school because there's simply not enough space for them, and therefore they're back to remote learning.

that can't be satisfactory that that's still going on. and i think at the moment what we haven't got is a timescale — when is all of this going to be sorted out? and parents in particular need to know that. back in sandbach, the show — and lunch — must go on. here, they had a head start on dealing with raac, but it hasn't been that easy for schools who onlyjust discovered the problem. a bit grim on some days, if i'm entirely honest with you. i felt very sorry for schools who were discovering this with days to go. i know how i felt, and i had a whole summer to talk to other people and come up with solutions. it's kind of almost the worst thing that could happen to you as a head, really. the dfe paid for both the building work and the temporary marquee here in sandbach. they say they'll support any school affected in a similar way. ellie price, bbc news. folk singer roger whittaker, famous for his 1969 hit song the last farewell and expert whistling, has died at the age of 87.

whittaker started singing when he was studying medicine. his other hits included durham town and new world in the morning, and he sold nearly 50 million records around the world. 50 million! incredible. yellow incredible stuff. let's talk about the weather. there has been some beautiful pictures of... the weather. there has been some beautiful pictures of. . ._ beautiful pictures of... good morning- — beautiful pictures of... good morning. wow. _ really active couple of weeks, plenty — really active couple of weeks, plenty of — really active couple of weeks, plenty of viewings. partly because the skies — plenty of viewings. partly because the skies are clear but the sun is going _ the skies are clear but the sun is going through an active phase so you -et going through an active phase so you get bombarded with more electrons, charged _ get bombarded with more electrons, charged particles from the sun setting — charged particles from the sun setting off these beautiful scenes i'm about to show you. setting off these beautiful scenes - i'm about to show you._ not i'm about to show you. gorgeous. not 'ust in i'm about to show you. gorgeous. not just in scotland _ i'm about to show you. gorgeous. not just in scotland either. _ i'm about to show you. gorgeous. not just in scotland either. this _ i'm about to show you. gorgeous. not just in scotland either. this first - just in scotland either. this first image _ just in scotland either. this first image is— just in scotland either. this first image is from the highlands, admittedly, but you could see it as far south— admittedly, but you could see it as far south as — admittedly, but you could see it as

there is hope and there is help out there for everyone that is struggling, and for people like us that are left behind. if it happened to max, it can happen to anybody. and that's a startling fact. hope. it's... it's always, for me, been about hope. l er... three mums brought together by the loss of their sons to suicide. kim. liz. and michelle. mums to hayden. seb. and maxi. that's all right. are you feet going to get wet there? on friday, they're setting out on a walk of more than 250 miles to keep that message of hope out there. he was my life, the love of my life. it was just myself and maxi,

so i brought him up on my own. you know, without him, i didn't think that life could really ever be anything other than an existence. but, actually, it has to be, and it will be, and i think that's where i found some resilience. that is the face of a man who's just enjoyed a free period. _ he's nourished. he was such a happy boy, such a smiler, that for me it was about continuing and trying to smile as much as i could and wear my red lipstick for max because it was his favourite! hayden didn't feel able that he could sort of openly ask for help. i think if he'd have known about papyrus — cos i didn't know about papyrus then — there would have been a good chance that he would have been... "i'm not the only young person here that is struggling." if he'd have just asked for help, if he'd have known that more help was there available outside of going to see a doctor,

then give him medication, i think hayden would still be here. it's a video, isn't it? laughter. a kind...loving...very loyal. he was just seb. he wasjust... and if he'd have any idea how much he's been missed by so many, - he'd still be here. but he didn't. the mums have been inspired by the 3 dads walking, who've been calling for suicide prevention to be made a compulsory part of the school curriculum. what do you think that seb would make of you doing this? he'd be thinking, "oh, i can't believe how cringe is this that mum's doing this."

yeah. but actually, when we get to the end, i think he'd be really, really proud. yeah. hayden'd just be looking down on me saying, "you're having a laugh, you ain't going to do that!" but, yeah, hayden... he'd support us 100%. he'd say, "blooming good on you, love!"| and he would say, probably don't talk too much! - because i can talk. laughter. the mums have a huge network of support behind them — particularly in the village of madeley — where liz lives, and the walk will start. they are fondly known as the mums army. and when i was first thinking about doing this walk, i'm looking for two mums to do the walk with me. a very good friend of mine said, "can you do the walking, can you do the training?" and i said, "yeah." she said, "well, then the universe will provide, leave it to us." come on, sweet. good girl.

as long as michelle puts her hair up, she won't get tangled in a bush. yeah, it's challenging. but do you know what? we all think we've been i through...hell and back. and, actually, it makes you think, crikey, we can do anything. - there are tough moments, - but we will absolutely achieve it. absolutely. nothing will stop us, will it? no. alison freeman, bbc news, madeley. incredible stories, incredible women. they will be with us just after 8am. if you have been affected by any of the issues raised, help is available from bbc action line — just visit bbc.co.uk/actionline. as we have said, they will be with us, walking here, just after 8am. such an important thing. it is

and wales — including cctv and facial recognition. professor fraser sampson, the biometrics and surveillance commissioner, is due to step down at the end of october — and the home office says it has not yet decided how he will be replaced. our technology editor zoe kleinman reports. are you being watched? with millions of cctv cameras across the country — and on people's phones — the likelihood is you are. now, artificial intelligence is making it easier to scan faces on camera and in real time — live facial recognition. the metropolitan police has used it six times in london this year, including at the king's coronation. it resulted in two arrests. but the man who monitors how police and local authorities use the tech is worried we don't know enough about the equipment they're installing, and the data they're handling. do you know, i think we need a public review of..of exactly that. so, what equipment is being pointed

at who, and where, for what purpose? and where are the images being saved, who are they being shared with, what was the point of keeping them in the first place? because we don't know. oh, so it's just gone off now. yeah. and it's not only the police who are using it. simon gordon has turned a passion forfinding pickpockets into a business. are you policing? no, it's not policing. it's doing in a more efficient way what businesses have done all the way along — which basically is preventing crime. they've always done it. you know, they're always on the lookout for people. it's too difficult when you're serving customers. so all this is saying is, "oh, someone who's stolen before in the area has just walked into your store." facewatch has 600 uk stores on its books, including costcutter and sports direct. shopkeepers can upload images of suspected shoplifters and, if accepted by a human reviewer, they are then added to a watch list shared by other local shops in the scheme.

the firm says around 3,000 alerts are activated every month. but privacy campaigners are concerned about the rise of the tech. the fact is that, no matter who is targeted by facial—recognition technology, the tech subjects us all to dystopian surveillance as we go about our daily lives. it harms all of us. so i think we really need to resist the expansion of facial—recognition technology in our shops and on our streets. and the technology simply has to be banned. the home office says they support the fair and proportionate use of facial—recognition technology to tackle crime, and are working closely with the national police chiefs council to determine how policing can make best use of it. the eu wants to ban live facial recognition, but in the uk it's here to stay. given that it is being used and that use is likely to increase, we need to concentrate on making sure that the use is accountable and proportionate and ethical. it'll be up to regulators to keep an eye on the people keeping an eye on us.

zoe kleinman, bbc news. still to come on breakfast... when he's not on our screens or airwaves, broadcaster dermot o'leary is busy writing children's books. he'll be here to tell us about his latest book, wings of glory — which follows a swift called linus who joins the royal bird force. it's there. what a great picture! that's coming up at 7:50. have you met him? he will be that excited. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. i'm alison earle.

the met police has warned it will to take at least two years, possibly more to get rid of corrupt and incompetent officers. the crackdown follows the convictions of murderer wayne couzens and serial rapist david carrick, who were both former serving officers. the force said there are plans for 60 misconduct hearings a month as it tries to drive up standards. we know we've got so much to do to rebuild that trust and to rebuild that connection. the more effort that we do to identify those who are corrupting policing and corrupting that contract — and we will be and we will continue to do that — the more difficult cases will come to light. and i know it is a challenge. nhs bosses are warning of long delays and more disruption to services as four days of strike action begin today. consultants will walk out for 48 hours and there will also be a 72—hour strike byjunior doctors from tomorrow morning. thousands of patient appointments

are expected to be cancelled a teenager from north london is creating almost 200 flags of the world using nothing but rubik's cubes. 14—year—old mimi took up the challenge in memory of her uncle who died from a brain tumour and is raising money for research. but there is one drawback to using the puzzles. rubik's cube only has six colours, so it doesn't have black. the only flag that i couldn't do was estonia, because i normally use blue instead of the black, and its white, blue and black. so it would just be a big blue blob. travel now and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there are minor delays on the piccadilly line between acton town and heathrow airport. and for all the latest travel news where you are, tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates. weather now, here's elizabeth rizzini.

hello, there, good morning. it'll feel a lot more like autumn as we head through this week, with various systems out in the atlantic pushing eastwards, bringing us wet and windy weather at times — including today — and, of course, it's feeling cooler than it has been, too. and it is a cooler start to this morning. a few spells of brightness out towards the east, perhaps, for a time, but thickening cloud towards the west. there will be a lot of dry weather today, but always the chance of some outbreaks of rain, some light, patchy rain and drizzle here at times — particularly with the thickness of the cloud. but it's going to be very windy today, a very blustery day of weather, with a brisk south—westerly wind — perhaps gusting as high as a0 to 45 miles an hour at times. temperatures at about 18 degrees celsius, with this weather front — we've got some rather warm, muggy—feeling air again. so overnight tonight, then, temperatures may not drop below the mid—teens in celsius into tomorrow morning. there will be some dry weather around tomorrow, particularly through the morning, but we are expecting some heavy rain through the afternoon. and there's a brisk westerly wind — again, some strong gusts of wind

of over a0 miles an hour at times. there's more on our website including the new interactive dinosaurs at crystal palace. that's it from me, i'm back in around half an hour. hello this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. you may have noticed you're getting less for your money in the supermarket and it's notjust because of increased prices during the cost—of—living crisis. it's to do with something called "shrinkflation" and ben has all the details. it is stuff getting smaller. it is opposite to prices going up, the price stays the same manufacturers but less in the packet and common examples are chocolate and common examples are chocolate and crisps. definitely crisps. you may have noticed that you pay the same price for your favourite

coffee or packet of biscuits only to find out that it's shrunk in size. that's because of something called shrinkflation where manufacturers cut the size and weight of products rather than asking us to pay more. we've found a few examples, like a standard multipack of penguin biscuits. there used to be eight bars in a pack, now there are seven. this is a 12.5% reduction in size, while the retail price has stayed the same. a small pack of lurpak butter used to be 250 grams, but now it's 200 grams — which is a 20% reduction in size. one supermarket in france has started alerting customers about products affected. it's putting signs just like this one on shelves.

it says, "shrinkflation — this product has got smaller and the price charged by our supplier has gone up". and labour mp andy mcdonald, who sits on the business committee in parliament, thinks that should be replicated here. he says. he claimed that it's evidence of manufacturers exploiting customers. so what do shoppers here think? we spoke to some in manchester. you notice prices going up and the volume getting smaller, and the bit that i find most cheeky about it is they'll keep the packs the same size, so it looks like it, fill it with air and basically trick you into thinking there's more in there than there is. you feel a little bit as if you're being deceived. you know, ratherthanjust putting the prices up, prices are staying the same and things are getting smaller, obviously. so it does feel a bit deceptive. my daughters have moved out, but definitely when they lived at home, i would have always

in the past bought multi—packs to save money. so i find it concerning if they are now getting smaller. i'm more concerned with the prices going up, now. i mean, i feel like shrinkflation is just a standard that we've gotten used to. i'd pay less if it's for less, i'd pay more if it was for more. so just knowing the truth and what i'm paying for would be nice. the british retail consortium which represents shops and supermarkets told us it'll be asking its members about these stickers, so watch this space. and with the cost of living still continuing to bite, it's an issue that will be on the minds of shoppers as they look to ease the pressure on their household budgets. if this is something you've noticed, do let us know, you can contact us in all the usual ways do let us know, you can contact us and we'll read some of your comments out later on in the programme. back to you. do get in touch and let us know. what has been shrinking?

and the clip is interesting. saying you do not mind if you know. it is that underhand way. john is here on an historic morning for newcastle fans. when you have spent so long in the doldrums as newcastle did. following the takeover. they are backin following the takeover. they are back in the champions league for the first time in 20 years and it will be a huge night ahead as they prepare for theirfirst be a huge night ahead as they prepare for their first european adventure. and some torrential rain and not many people with coats. we will look at that in a moment. some fans already there. as patrick gearey reports.

hall, a local businessman. football is now a different game and newcastle are owned by a public investment fund backed by saudi cash which comes with ethical concerns given they're often criticised human rights record. their resources are vast but they have not funded a revolution. instead careful progress tested by a difficult group including paris st—germain and tonight's opponents ac milan. this a tonight's opponents ac milan. as a kid ou tonight's opponents ac milan. as a kid you are — tonight's opponents ac milan. as a kid you are always _ tonight's opponents ac milan. is —. kid you are always watching the champions league which is where you see some of the best players. the world's best. it will be hard to go there but we are not going to spectate and be in awe of the stadium. it will be a nice arena but we are there to compete. we have got ourselves in the competition and why not? ., �* , .. , , not? tonight's newcastle will be inducted back _ not? tonight's newcastle will be inducted back into _ not? tonight's newcastle will be inducted back into european - inducted back into european football's most exclusive club in one of its most famous venues and

high in the san siro is a good place to see how far you have come. we saw a little bit rain there. this was the fans out on the streets making good use of heavy rain. you would need a lot of rain for that to be comfortable. we're chatting to club legend rob lee at 7.30. he has probably replicated a celebration like that on the pitch. manchester city start their defence against red star belgrade. their fans enjoyed this one, that parade through manchester with their treble of trophies, the champions league their crowning moment last season. and pep thinks winning another will be easier than that one. will it be harder to defend it and it was— will it be harder to defend it and it was to — will it be harder to defend it and it was to win— will it be harder to defend it and it was to win it _ will it be harder to defend it and it was to win it for _ will it be harder to defend it and it was to win it for the _ will it be harder to defend it and it was to win it for the first - will it be harder to defend it andl it was to win it for the first time?

burnley and nottingham forest, burnley and nottingham forest, burnley took the lead. the new forest signing getting a superb equaliser on his debut. the lovely thing about football is when best friends with split loyalties come together to enjoy the game. as these two did so last night. stuart broad alongside his great friendjimmy night. stuart broad alongside his great friend jimmy andersson. stuart broad a nottingham forest fan. jimmy a burnley fan. they were smiling then and i imagine still talking afterwards following that draw. no knee slides or belly flops.

iam i am looking to —— looking forward to seeing more of those. they managed to stay on the flat stuff. and no tops. tops offer. i will worry about them all and say no coats. everyone do their own. more than 4 million children in england were not seen by an nhs dentist last year, according to figures from the house of commons library obtained by the liberal democrats. the data also show that more than half of adults have not been seen by an nhs dentist in the past two years. we're joined now by shawn charlwood, chair of the british dental association's general dental practice committee. why do you think these figures, what

do you think has made these results come out from the lib dems, that children are not seeing dentist so much for checkups?— children are not seeing dentist so much for checkups? thank you, as you sa , much for checkups? thank you, as you say. patients — much for checkups? thank you, as you say. patients are _ much for checkups? thank you, as you say, patients are paying _ much for checkups? thank you, as you say, patients are paying a _ much for checkups? thank you, as you say, patients are paying a price - much for checkups? thank you, as you say, patients are paying a price for - say, patients are paying a price for choices made on dentistry and i am pleased to see the liberal democrats are developing a plan. i would like all parties to develop a plan around dentistry because tooth decay is preventable. it is the number one reason children are going into hospitalfor a general reason children are going into hospital for a general anaesthetic and it affects how they eat, sleep, learn. dentists are not able to nip in the budget the problems they have and they develop into larger problems and we are set to see inequalities widened. i spoke to you earlier in the year in the studio and these problems are not new. we

have access problems to nhs dentistry but those problems are not inevitable. ministers promised a recovery plan in april and we are still waiting for that plan. dentists reluctantly walking away from what is an overstretched and underfunded nhs dental service. hagar underfunded nhs dental service. how did we aet underfunded nhs dental service. how did we get to — underfunded nhs dental service. how did we get to this point? as _ underfunded nhs dental service. how did we get to this point? as i - underfunded nhs dental service. how did we get to this point? as i say, - did we get to this point? as i say, it is not a new _ did we get to this point? as i say, it is not a new problem. _ did we get to this point? as i say, it is not a new problem. it - did we get to this point? as i say, it is not a new problem. it is - it is not a new problem. it is something the british dental association have highlighted for many years. we have a contract that the health select committee have twice said is unfit for purpose and it makes it difficult for practices to deliver nhs dentistry. that is why you are seeing millions of young and old patients struggling to gain access and we will only survive if ministers are ready to be ambitious and they need to act now. we need

reform. and sustainable funding for dentistry. we only have enough nhs dentistry. we only have enough nhs dentistry commissioned, funded, for half the population, so you can see why millions of young and old are struggling. you will have seen headlines earlier in the year where greater manchester, patients queueing from four in the morning on camp beds to access an nhs dental practice. we must have prevention at the core of a new contract in order that we can address issues, particularly children highlighted today. in particularly children highlighted toda . , , , particularly children highlighted toda. , , , ., today. in simple terms, how could ou today. in simple terms, how could you address _ today. in simple terms, how could you address that, _ today. in simple terms, how could you address that, what _ today. in simple terms, how could you address that, what would - today. in simple terms, how could you address that, what would you | today. in simple terms, how could - you address that, what would you do? if i were the minister, i would talk to the british dental association again about the plan we propose in order to improve access to nhs dentistry not only for these

children but for adults. it is an ongoing issue for many years. we are a wealthy 21st nation and we are seeing children under the age of two having all teeth removed because they have decay, completely preventable. we see adult patients, desperate, in pain, carrying out diy dentistry as it is called. it is not appropriate in our nation and i urge the minister to print his recovery plan as soon as possible and engage with us at the british dental association so we can improve the situation for millions of patients. thank you very much indeed. time to check in and look at the weather. it was dark and wet when i came in. that is much nicer. i think this morning many have had to go off with

an umbrella and a healthy dose of optimism. i have found sunshine. it is on the suffolk coast. a bright start. cloud overhead spilling in from the west and will bring a wet and windy day. low pressure is responsible, moving in and on the southern edge we have the strongest wind particularly in england and wales. and we will see rain at times. where we have the wettest to start, northern ireland, north—west england, north and west wales. heavy showers. some sunshine in the north of scotland. in the south, some showers and sunshine but in between continuing with rain on and off through the day. the most persistent rain on the hills but elsewhere it. at times. some dry breaks. the wind is a feature. gusting up to 50 mph.

60 in parts of england and wales around the hills and coasts. it gets lighter heading into scotland but even here, a breeze will push the showers across fairly rapidly. it should not be too long before sunshine comes up. temperatures 14-15 in sunshine comes up. temperatures 1a—15 in northern scotland. humid further south. tempered by the strength of the wind that continues to be a feature tonight and a windy night in england and wales. rain at times, extensively across scotland. and into northern ireland and wales in western england. temperatures tonight in england and wales, 15—16. we have low pressure as we go into wednesday. the strongest wind ahead of the cold front that will bring heavier bursts of rain. thunderstorms at times. brightening up thunderstorms at times. brightening up in the west. scotland and northern ireland, not horrendous,

some showers. pushing through on a strengthening breeze. some sunshine, and in eastern scotland, a warmer day than today. the rain moves out of the way into thursday. a brighter start in central and eastern areas but showers and thunderstorms get going and in parts of scotland, northern ireland, a more windy day, particularly around the highlands and islands with the wind up to 60 mph if not more. the weather has taken a turn. it is more autumnal because of the position of the jet stream rushing across the atlantic. in that we will see low pressure and those areas of low pressure will feed in. a little bit of a gap potentially on the end of friday and start of saturday. you might get a bit of sunshine at that moment.

a moment. you said we should be optimistic and the entire forecast was about rain and you give us one bit of sunshine. thank you. you will have seen missing posters before but you have probably never seen one aimed at tracking down a last lego man. ten—year—old jack acted after losing a tiny figure he made to look like himself on his walk to school. his reward poster worked after his mum shared a photo on social media. they have been speaking to ian haslam. lost, has anyone seen this lego man? matching eyebrows, hawaiian shirt, blue with palm trees and an orange stripe. dark green pants. he is very special to me. reward, stripe. dark green pants. he is very specialto me. reward, £2. stripe. dark green pants. he is very special to me. reward, £2. itruiitli stripe. dark green pants. he is very

that. i love this, as well. strictly theme. the new series of strictly come dancing kicked off this weekend and the class of 2023 includes some well—known faces including les dennis, angela scanlan and annabel croft. that music. already slightly excited, slightly nervous. slightly annoyed it has been a year. the 15 celebrities hit the dance floor for their first group routine and also found out which professional dancer they've been paired with. sophie van brugen has all the details. it's the launch of strictly come dancing 2023. sequins, spray tans and 15 fresh celebrities. it must be time for the new series of strictly come dancing. hamza and jowita! jowita's still riding high after winning the last series with hamza.

but can she repeat her success with jody? this year is a new challenge. i have a new, beautiful partner and i hope i can get that glitterball, as well, for him. also hoping for good fortune this year is saturday night tv veteran les dennis. lucky charm. family fortunes, we got 16 million viewers, you know, because there were only four channels in those days. 16 million — imagine that. i'm 70 this year. so i want to show people who maybe think that they are past it, that you're not, you're never past it. and get up and do it, get up and get out and do something. i've been doing my 10,000 steps a day, that's what i've been doing because i've got i've got a new knee, so i can't run. so i walk, i do 10,000 steps. and stepping into the dancing shoes is already proving a challenge for some. i've been wearing my slippers everywhere i go.

i've got a few blisters, i've got a few little blisters. but it's nothing that we can't work with. it's fine. i sort ofjumped in on the spray tan front two days ago and, already, people are laughing at me. every time i walk into my living room, it gets a huge guffaw. my tan lines are shocking. and this is the medium colour. apparently, there's two tones darker than this. i've got like an almost obscenely white midsection and then obscenely whatever colour we're calling this. tic tac orange? some may remember the version of the show when it was called come dancing. no celebrities, just professional dancers competing and a very familiar presenter. broadcaster, journalist angela rippon. - it's weird, really, not being in your place and being in this place, but i'm going to enjoy it. i've watched the show

since i was seven years old and we used to dance around the living room replicating all of the dances. it means so much to me to be here. i honestly don't feel like i'm a celebrity because i'm a really big fan of you. so i would... honestly. and allthe pros, like, oh, my god, i really wanted to meet all of you. comedian and radio host eddie kadi. for me, coming to this country at the age of ten and not speaking a word of english and then just being able to acquire this new culture and get to this stage. the biggest institution, i believe, in this country is strictly. and, to be on it, ijust want people to understand that a journey is possible. if you really focus, you can achieve everything. but, ultimately, the audience at home will decide who has the right moves to lift this year's glitterball trophy. sophie van brugen, bbc news. iam i am definitely ready for it. i am definitely ready for it. i love we have discussed everything

about who will win, who will do it. you have to work out who will do really well this year. there are some strong contenders. but a good mix of characters. it is back. strictly come dancing continues on saturday at 6.15pm on bbc one and bbc iplayer. still to come on breakfast. we're discussing �*shrinkflation' this morning — when the size of a product is reduced but the price stays the same. have you noticed a change in the size of any of your regular groceries? does a multipack of biscuits now have less in the pack? are they smaller? we'd love to hear your experiences of shrinkflation. we will be back but let's get the news where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. the met police has warned it will to take at least two years — possibly even more — to get rid of corrupt and incompetent officers. the crackdown follows the convictions of murderer wayne couzens and serial rapist

david carrick, who were both former serving officers. the force said there are plans for 60 misconduct hearings a month as it tries to drive up standards. we know we've got so much to do to rebuild that trust and to rebuild that connection. the more effort that we do to identify those who are corrupting policing and corrupting that contract — and we will be and we will continue to do that — the more difficult cases will come to light. and i know it is a challenge. nhs bosses are warning of delays and disruption to services as four days of strike action begin. consultants will walk out for 48 hours, and there will also be a 72—hour strike byjunior doctors from tomorrow. thousands of patient appointments are expected to be cancelled. they're dotted across the capital to celebrate famous people and the buildings they lived in. well, there are now 1000 english heritage blue plaques. the latest addition to the scheme is being unveiled later.

it will mark the former london headquarters of the women's freedom league near charing cross — which was part of the suffragette movement. how's this for a challenge? a teenagerfrom north london is creating flags of the world using nothing but rubik's cubes. 14—year—old mimi is doing it in memory of her uncle who died from a brain tumour, and is raising money for research. but there is one drawback... rubik's cube only has six colours, so it doesn't have black. the only flag that i couldn't do was estonia, because i normally use blue instead of the black, and its white, blue and black. so it would just be a big blue blob. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. weather now — here's elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. it'll feel a lot more like autumn as we head through this week, with various systems out in the atlantic pushing eastwards, bringing us wet and windy weather at times — including today — and, of course, it's feeling cooler than it has been, too.

and it is a cooler start to this morning. a few spells of brightness out towards the east, perhaps, for a time, but thickening cloud towards the west. there will be a lot of dry weather today, but always the chance of some outbreaks of rain, some light, patchy rain and drizzle here at times — particularly with the thickness of the cloud. but it's going to be very windy today, a very blustery day of weather, with a brisk south—westerly wind — perhaps gusting as high as 40 to 45 miles an hour at times. temperatures at about 18 degrees celsius, with this weather front — we've got some rather warm, muggy—feeling air again. so overnight tonight, then, temperatures may not drop below the mid—teens in celsius into tomorrow morning. there will be some dry weather around tomorrow, particularly through the morning, but we are expecting some heavy rain through the afternoon. and there's a brisk westerly wind — again, some strong gusts of wind of over 40 miles an hour at times. there's more on our website, including the new interactive dinosaurs at crystal palace. that's it from me —

i'm back in around half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. our headlines today. consultants begin another strike as the government says it could force some doctors to work during industrial action. a report of sexual assault is made to police, following allegations against the comedian russell brand. ever wondered if you're paying more for a packet of crisps or a tin of cat food but getting less for your money? that's because you probably are. i'll explain shrinkflation, and whether shoppers should be warned. like with this sign in a french supermarket. in sport... newcastle fans in dreamland as they make their return to the champions league — a day many thought would never come — after a 20—year absence. we will hear from a club legend this hour. whilst there will be some sunshine around for some, lots of cloud for

most, outbreaks of rain and for england and wales pretty windy, all the details later. it's tuesday 19th september. consultants and junior doctors in england are set to stage their firstjoint strike in the history of the nhs. consultants begin a two—day strike at 7am, and junior doctors willjoin them tomorrow morning. the government says in order to protect patient safety, it is considering introducing minimum service level regulations, that would require some doctors to work during strikes. our health correspondent dominic hughes has this report. 13—year—old phoebe is waiting for an operation on the tumour on her face. twice it's been cancelled because of industrial action by doctors. last week it was due to go ahead again, but this time there was no bed available. the delays are taking their toll. i'm not going to say it's selfish cos i understand with the cost—of—living crisis, it's very hard at the moment — especially for some people who maybe aren't getting paid as much as they should, especially for what they do.

and i respect them, i really do, but for patients like me, it's really draining to keep having it, like, postponed, and really mentally damaging because you don't know what's going to be — you're getting so much anxiety from when its next going to be. today's action by consultant doctors in england will be their third walk—out. the previous consultant strike days — which occurred last month — saw nearly 46,000 appointments cancelled or delayed, with around 6,000 staff off each day. overall, the nhs in england has seen ten months of industrial action, during which more than 885,000 inpatient and outpatient appointments have been rescheduled. but for doctors like richard clarkson, these strikes are notjust about pay, but the future of the health service. you know, we have got to use this moment to really get the message across that we are haemorrhaging talent overseas. we are in a situation where the brightest and the best

in schools aren't going to go into medicine, they're not going to want to become medical consultants — they're probably going to want to become financial consultants or management consultants. we want the brightest and best to be treating our families in the nhs for years to come. no ifs, no buts, no junior doctor cuts. tomorrow the consultants will be joined by their junior—doctor colleagues. nhs bosses predict almost all planned care will be affected. the government has announced it's looking at introducing minimum service levels in hospitals during strike action — defining the number of doctors, nurses and other front—line staff needed to cover urgent emergency and time—critical services. meanwhile, phoebe is facing an anxious wait to see if her latest operation — planned for thursday — will finally go ahead. dominic hughes, bbc news. let's speak to our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. we will speak to steve barclay at 7:30am. sally has the details of the

rest of the day's stories. the metropolitan police has received a report of an alleged sexual assault in 2003, following allegations about the actor and comedian russell brand. four women have accused him of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse. russell brand denies the allegations. our reporter vincent mcaviney is at new scotland yard. good morning. what more can you tell us? offices here at new _ what more can you tell us? offices here at new scotland _ what more can you tell us? offices here at new scotland yard - what more can you tell us? offices here at new scotland yard have - what more can you tell us? offices| here at new scotland yard have not named russell brand but have said a woman has come forward with an accusation of sexual assault back in 2003 in soho in central london. specialist officers are now supporting her and that comes after the revelations at the weekend, and the revelations at the weekend, and the met saying that anyone who has any allegations at any period similar to those in the programme should come forward and i have to say once again that russell brand denies all the allegations that have been made, but the met have said

they are also in contact with the sunday times, the times and the channel 4 dispatches team, to make sure the women featured in it know they can come forward and speak to them at any point. this is a serious development in all of this. they will likely now be an investigation by the metropolitan police and they will likely want to speak to russell brand himself. he was meant to be at a theatre tonight in windsor as part of the tour he is currently on but yesterday we also got the news that his theatre dates have all been postponed with people being offered their tickets back. there are questions about the social media platforms that are still giving him a platform, particularly youtube, where he has over 6 million subscribers and get paid adverts and the money from those. so far at google not giving any comment on any of that. ., ~ google not giving any comment on any of that. ., ,, , ., the metropolitan police says more than a thousand officers

are currently suspended or on restricted duties, as it tries to root out corruption in its ranks. the met says it will take years to get rid of officers who have breached standards or failed vetting — and there are plans for 60 misconduct hearings every month for possibly the next two years. the government is expected to announce it will intervene in the running of birmingham city council. the local authority effectively declared bankruptcy earlier this month, saying it couldn't afford to settle an equal pay claim of around three quarters of a billion pounds. the government has shown a "lack of leadership and deep—rooted complacency" in regulating the water industry, according to a house of lords committee. in an open letter to the environment secretary, peers call for urgent improvements in the handling of the sewage problem and better protection for vulnerable customers. there have been protests in eastern libya after the collapse of two dams during a storm triggered catastrophic floods, killing thousands of people. many survivors blame the government for the disaster.

our correspondent anna fosterjoins us now. good morning. what can you tell us about these protests? goad good morning. what can you tell us about these protests? good morning. this happened — about these protests? good morning. this happened in _ about these protests? good morning. this happened in the _ about these protests? good morning. this happened in the centre _ about these protests? good morning. this happened in the centre of- about these protests? good morning. this happened in the centre of derna| this happened in the centre of derna yesterday afternoon. some of the locals had told us the day before that they were planning to gather outside the mosque and make their voices heard. the diff with the authorities about the fact these dams broke in heavy rain. it is important to know that here in libya there are two separate opposing rival governments, one in the west and one in the east and it is the eastern authorities that were the focus of this. there was chanting. you can see people were gathering. we could hear it going up and down that the new chasm that has been created through the centre of derna and later on we saw videos on social media suggesting the mayor of derna had had his home set on fire and it is symptomatic really of some of the public anger at what happened to the dams. some of the people here feel the leaders were not looking after

them, that the dams were not properly maintained, that they should have been able to stand up to the torrent of water. when i spoke to the eastern prime minister a few days ago, he told me it was nature and it was god and that nothing could have stopped the water, but you can really see how the anger, grief by mixing together now and creating real tensions here in eastern libya.— creating real tensions here in eastern libya. creating real tensions here in eastern lib a. ., ,, , . the government is expected to update its list of schools in england, known to be affected by the faulty concrete, raac. 147 schools in england were named in august, but the government has repeatedly said that number is likely to rise. there are also 33 schools affected in scotland and two in wales. the us military has found debris from the stealth fighterjet which vanished over south carolina on sunday after the pilot ejected amid a so—called "mishap". the $80 millionjet was abandoned on auto—pilot and crashed hours later.

but wait for it... they couldn't find it for a while because of the stealth technology on board. so good was it, they couldn't find where it had crash landed. it was it, they couldn't find where it had crash landed.— was it, they couldn't find where it had crash landed. it took them days, didn't it? and — had crash landed. it took them days, didn't it? and you _ had crash landed. it took them days, didn't it? and you think— had crash landed. it took them days, didn't it? and you think someone - didn't it? and you think someone miaht call didn't it? and you think someone might call and — didn't it? and you think someone might call and go, _ didn't it? and you think someone might call and go, i _ didn't it? and you think someone might call and go, i think - didn't it? and you think someone might call and go, i think there i didn't it? and you think someone j might call and go, i think there is a fighterjet in my back garden. but apparently not, it is america! $80 million, that _ apparently not, it is america! $80 million, that is _ apparently not, it is america! $80 million, that is a _ apparently not, it is america! $2 million, that is a lot. apparently not, it is america! $80 million, that is a lot. and - million, that is a lot. and expensive _ million, that is a lot. and expensive mishap. - time for a look at the weather. and matt has promised some sunshine. it is in the highlands. let's go now! but it will take a while. beautifulstart. here we let's go now! but it will take a while. beautiful start. here we will see some of the best of the sunshine, one or two passing showers. if you will get through the

day dry but there is a lot of cloud to come. if you are in the bulk of england and wales, southern scotland, northern ireland, expect wet weather and for england and wales some windy conditions. windiest conditions around the hills and coast in england and wales, gusts expected in excess of 40, 50 mph. higheraround gusts expected in excess of 40, 50 mph. higher around some coasts and hills. not quite as windy further north but enough off a breeze to push through the showers. here is the persistent rain to start, northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england, western half of wales. there are gaps, the rain will ease off at times, still heavy now and again particularly over the hills but it should be a case that there are moments to get out and make the most of it. further south, some passing lighter showers. temperatures highest around 19, 20, may 21 degrees. tempered by the strength of the wind, always fresh at that further north where you are. as we end to the day, with the strong ways to contend with and

across england and wales, it gets wetter around cumbria, north—west england, south—west scotland and northern ireland. the rain will get heavier, pushing northwards as we go through tonight and we'll start to see another band of quite lively rain with some thunderstorms pushing to the west of england and wales and tonight it will stay windy. even tomorrow, quite a breeze blowing. thank you. more than a fifth of all coercive—control cases reported to the police since it became an offence eight years ago were from people aged under 25. data from police forces across england and wales show cases involving young people are on the rise — but charities claim this is not being widely recognised. rahil sheikh reports. i went to notting hill carnival for the first time, which he was really against. but, eventually, he said yes because he sort of vetted the friends that i have. and i had 120 missed calls.

he was screaming, swearing. he'd call me, like, a prostitute. and i must have been cheating if i was sort of out and about with my friends. faustine was 16 at the time and this was her first relationship. he did say things like "i love you" very early on in the relationship and also gifting, messaging all the time. she didn't immediately realise she was experiencing coercive control, but when she went to the police, she says it was dismissed. domestic abuse, at the time i reported it and even now, is kind of seen as a middle—aged woman's problem. i think young people, including myself, are not taken seriously. she managed to get out of the controlling relationship, but, for others, the consequences can be deadly. in wiltshire, carole gould's 17—year—old—daughter ellie was murdered by her ex—boyfriend from school. hi. ellie's dad, matt, found her. she'd been stabbed 13 times in the neck. it happened in this kitchen. i block it from my mind, i think,

because i didn't find ellie. i can block that and separate that and remember the happy times that we had here as a family. but it's very, very hard for matt, because he has flashbacks about finding her. you are mentally damaged by that. this was a book, i think, that was left at the school. thomas griffiths was jailed for murder. two years after killing ellie, a domestic homicide review found he displayed controlling and coercive behaviour, including educational sabotage. she wanted to focus on her studies because she had some important exams coming up, and he was making herfeel bad about that, saying, "does it not make you feel bad that we're not seeing each other after school?" and i wish now i had known more about coercive controlling behaviours and what it could lead to. coercive control was made illegal in england and wales in 2015.

since then, more than a fifth of cases have been from alleged victims between the ages of 11 and 24. the number of suspects aged under 25 has been rising year on year, but only 5% of those cases resulted in a charge. more than a third of cases fall through because of a lack of evidence. campaigners say with so much communication happening between young people on their phones, more prosecutions should be taking place. but police insist it's not that simple. if perpetrators have locked down and encrypted their accounts, that can be incredibly complex. if a phone is locked, it can take us up to two years to get into that evidence. but i'm not excusing mistakes of the past and i'm certainly not suggesting we don't have a lot more to do now. some say that an additional barrier for the police are existing laws, which fail to recognise that under—16s can be victims of domestic abuse. children should be recognised in the domestic abuse legislation,

including peer—on—peer relationships. if nothing else, it's because they are different. they disclose differently, they need different support. amending the law is one solution. the other is more education. the government says compulsory relationships—and—sex—education classes are taught to students under 16 in england, but the curriculum is being reviewed this autumn. faustine thinks 16—to—18—year—olds need to be included. do you guys know what coercive control is? not telling someone what to do, but, like, saying other things so they do it by themselves. she's put together a team delivering sessions on coercive control in sixth forms and colleges. currently, these classes are optional, but she's calling on the government to make them compulsory. if we want young people to have the best, brightest start to their lives, we need to equip them with all these skills. otherwise, we're just setting young people up for complete failure. thank you. rahil sheikh, bbc news.

a calamitous problem. in lough neagh, there's been a massive growth of toxic bacteria known as blue—green algae. campaigners say it's killing birds, harming animals and ruining a unique natural treasure. this is completely new to me. never seen the likes of it before — nor has my family, who have lived there for generations before me. it was only a couple of weeks ago when i went out into a boat, and the wake of the boat behind me, in parts, was like a thick pea—green soup. and thatjust came as a real shock that this lough is in deep trouble. the lake's shoreline is almost 100 miles long and it's in places here that the pollution is particularly glaring. well, at this gate, the algae's backed up to form a thick, stodgy sludge. and what really strikes you here, as well as the sight, is the smell. you'd think there had been something like a gas leak and, along with it,

there's a hint of the odour of rotten eggs, perhaps. it's very, very grim. the bacteria has bloomed for several reasons, including settled weather and the presence of an invasive species of mussel. but the algae feeds off chemicals in the water. it's to do with policy of farming, to do with policy of sewage and to do with the policy on septic tanks. and climate change is also to blame. there's been a one—degree increase in the temperature of the bottom of the lough from about 1995. it might not sound a lot, but that's been pretty significant. the impact is spreading beyond the lake and damaging people's livelihoods. this is what used to take place on the river bann near coleraine, which is downstream from lough neagh.

but the edge watersports centre has had to close. the business was dealt a fatal blow by the arrival of the algae in the summer. the message going out from statutory authorities is don't go near the water, don't get in the water. and, as a business, you just can't do anything. so for you as a business person, but also somebody who clearly is so passionate about water sports, i mean, this must be incredibly disappointing, to put it mildly. it's completely heartbreaking, to be honest. i met my wife through water skiing on the river. you know, our kids grew up with it. you know, my customers and staff are like a family down here, and that's all been ripped away from us. those who have been most affected say one of their biggest difficulties has been uncertainty over who can help. no one agency is in charge of lough neagh. northern ireland is currently without a devolved government because of a political crisis. officials say there's

a range of programmes to improve water quality. but residents, scientists and campaign groups are warning there needs to be more urgent action to rescue the uk's largest lake. chris page, bbc news, on lough neagh. earlier in the programme we were talking about shrinkflation, when stuff gets smaller but the price probably stays the same if not going up. probably stays the same if not going u -. �* , r probably stays the same if not going u -. �* , ~ , ., , . up. ben is here. a few people have been in touch. _ up. ben is here. a few people have been in touch. if— up. ben is here. a few people have been in touch. if only _ up. ben is here. a few people have been in touch. if only you - up. ben is here. a few people have been in touch. if only you got - up. ben is here. a few people have been in touch. if only you got as i been in touch. if only you got as many chocolate _ been in touch. if only you got as many chocolate bars _ been in touch. if only you got as many chocolate bars in - been in touch. if only you got as many chocolate bars in crisps. it has really — many chocolate bars in crisps. it has really in there. has noticed it with branded toilet paper and kitchen — with branded toilet paper and kitchen paper. she says smaller, thinner— kitchen paper. she says smaller, thinner squares. crisps, smaller sguares — thinner squares. crisps, smaller suuares. , , , ., squares. they put fewer things on the role, squares. they put fewer things on the role. that— squares. they put fewer things on the role, that is _ squares. they put fewer things on the role, that is what _ squares. they put fewer things on the role, that is what is _ squares. they put fewer things on the role, that is what is getting i the role, that is what is getting smaller? ., . . the role, that is what is getting smaller? ,, ., . . ~ smaller? she has noticed that. and also with crisps. _

for 60 misconduct hearings a month as it tries to drive up standards. we know we've got so much to do to rebuild that trust and to rebuild that connection. the more effort that we do to identify those who are corrupting policing and corrupting that contract — and we will be and we will continue to do that — the more difficult cases will come to light. and i know it is a challenge. nhs bosses are warning of delays and disruption to services as four days of strike action begin. consultants will walk out for 48 hours and there will also be a 72—hour strike byjunior doctors from tomorrow. thousands of patient appointments are expected to be cancelled. they're dotted across the capital to celebrate famous people and the buildings they lived in. there will soon be 1,000 english heritage blue plaques. the latest addition to the scheme is being unveiled later. it will mark the former london headquarters of the women's freedom league

near charing cross, which was part of the suffragette movement. how's this for a challenge? a teenagerfrom north london is creating flags of the world using nothing but rubik's cubes. 14—year—old mimi is doing it in memory of her uncle who died from a brain tumour and is raising money for research. but there is one drawback. rubik's cube only has six colours, so it doesn't have black. the only flag that i couldn't do was estonia, because i normally use blue instead of the black, and its white, blue and black. so it would just be a big blue blob. travel and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. just some minor delays on thejubilee line. weather now, here's elizabeth. hello, there, good morning. it'll feel a lot more like autumn as we head through this week, with various systems out in the atlantic pushing eastwards, bringing us wet and windy weather at times — including today — and, of course, it's feeling cooler than it has been, too.

and it is a cooler start to this morning. a few spells of brightness out towards the east, perhaps, for a time, but thickening cloud towards the west. there will be a lot of dry weather today, but always the chance of some outbreaks of rain, some light, patchy rain and drizzle here at times — particularly with the thickness of the cloud. but it's going to be very windy today, a very blustery day of weather, with a brisk south—westerly wind — perhaps gusting as high as 40 to 45 miles an hour at times. temperatures at about 18 degrees celsius, with this weather front — we've got some rather warm, muggy—feeling air again. so overnight tonight, then, temperatures may not drop below the mid—teens in celsius into tomorrow morning. there will be some dry weather around tomorrow, particularly through the morning, but we are expecting some heavy rain through the afternoon. and there's a brisk westerly wind — again, some strong gusts of wind of over 40 miles an hour at times. there's more on our website including the new interactive dinosaurs at crystal palace. that's it from me, i'm back in around half an hour.

hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. just with sally nugent and ben thompson. a little bit 0�* this just a little bit of breaking news. this is about russell brand, the story we have reported on the programme the past couple of days and the latest live from google. russell brand has a youtube channel. we have a statement from youtube saying we have suspended monetisation on russell brand's channle for violating our creative responsibility policy if a creator's off platform behaviour harms users, employees or ecosystem, we take action to protect the community. it is important because there were allegations he could still make money, the adverts placed around the content russell brand was creating for youtube is generating money

still. they say he will no longer be able to monetise youtube and they say they take action to protect their community and they say it will prohibit anyone using a new or alternative channel to circumvent this decision. this comes off the back of the suspension of his live stage show. the publishers saying they are pausing future projects. and channel 4 axing programme is linked to russell brand. he denies the claims and russell brand says his relationships have always been consensual. if there are further developments we will bring them to you here. another story we are following. in the last half an hour, consultants in england have started the latest 48—hour strike, as the nhs braces itself for four—days of disruption. junior doctors will also join the picket line tomorrow, for their own 72—hour strike. we're joined now by the health secretary steve barclay. good morning. here we are again.

another walk—out. good morning. here we are again. anotherwalk—out. it good morning. here we are again. another walk—out. it will inevitably affect patients. why is this not yet resolved? irate affect patients. why is this not yet resolved? ~ . . .. , resolved? we have accepted the independent _ resolved? we have accepted the independent pay _ resolved? we have accepted the independent pay review- independent pay review recommendations which means for a junior doctor starting this summer a pay rise of 10.3% and the average of 8.8% forjunior doctors and for many viewers it is probably more than they themselves. and we have accepted the bma number one asked which was generous changes to pension taxation which the government has agreed. we have to get the balance right in terms of also recognising the pressure on inflation and the needs of others in the public sector in terms of in the armed forces, teachers, elsewhere in the nhs. and for those working in the nhs. and for those working in the private sector. we accepted the recommendations. i do not think a

pay rise demand of 35% which is what junior doctors are asking for is reasonable. and that is why we made a final offer in terms of pay that respect sinful recommendations of the pay review body process. you can understand why _ the pay review body process. you can understand why bma _ the pay review body process. you can understand why bma are _ the pay review body process. you can understand why bma are asking - the pay review body process. you can understand why bma are asking for i understand why bma are asking for higher wages which they say is to make up for 15 years of below inflation wage rises and they point to the fact you have settled cases with nurses, paramedics, 999 call handlers, why not settle forjunior doctors? irate handlers, why not settle for “unior doctors? ~ . , doctors? we have settled with nurses, paramedics, - doctors? we have settled with nurses, paramedics, porters, | nurses, paramedics, porters, cleaners, over! billion nhs workers, and we did it through constructive discussion with them. —— 1 million. we also have to focus on wider challenges of bringing inflation down and a demand of 35% would not be consistent with the need to bring inflation down. in

terms of getting the balance right we need to protect patients and that is why we are announcing a consultation on minimum service levels in hospitals to protect patients in terms of time critical services such as chemotherapy and dialysis not covered by a christmas day service and also recognising the important right to strike but it is necessary to get the balance right in terms of time critical services in terms of time critical services in hospital and that is what we are setting out today. i in hospital and that is what we are setting out today.— setting out today. i want to come onto the consultation _ setting out today. i want to come onto the consultation in - setting out today. i want to come onto the consultation in a - setting out today. i want to come onto the consultation in a second| setting out today. i want to come i onto the consultation in a second of minimum service levels because interesting to hear how you think they will work but on the constructive talks. you use the word constructive. the bma say the conversations are constructive. how close are we to a resolution? the government _ close are we to a resolution? the government set _ close are we to a resolution? the government set a _ close are we to a resolution? 11a: government set a position in close are we to a resolution? 119 government set a position in terms of pay and the prime minister has been clear it is a fair and final settlement. you pointed to the fact

we discuss with the agenda for change and reached agreement with over! million staff but it is not proportionate as the junior doctors have demanded to ask for 35%. i cannot imagine your viewers are receiving that sort of pay rise. we have a process through the independent pay review body that looks at issues. we have accepted their recommendations. we have made changes to pension taxation that is beneficial to nhs consultants which was the number one ask the bma had. we have to be fair to others in the nhs and fairto we have to be fair to others in the nhs and fair to public sectors and private—sector workers who will look at an average pay rise forjunior doctors of 8.3% and think that is more than they are receiving. irate doctors of 8.3% and think that is more than they are receiving. we can talk about minimum _ more than they are receiving. we can talk about minimum service - more than they are receiving. we can talk about minimum service levels. i talk about minimum service levels. they consultation. this is essentially forcing some doctors to work during strikes to maintain a

minimum level of service. how would it work? this — minimum level of service. how would it work? this is _ minimum level of service. how would it work? this is something _ minimum level of service. how would it work? this is something other - it work? this is something other countries get right and if one looks at france, italy, they have a balance in terms of what they call sunday service, recognising the right to strike and recognising the need of patients around time critical services. there would be disruption from a strike in terms of a hip or knee operation but we do think it is different for time critical services such as chemotherapy, dialysis. it is important patients have confidence those services will be delivered. a problem with the escalation of the strikes by the bma, the more radical approach taken with a christmas day service is it does not cover things like chemotherapy and dialysis and it makes it difficult for nhs leaders to plan. what we saw in august was when nhs leaders locally

agreed with bma representatives locally to have exemptions for time critical care, the national bma committee refused to agree with local representatives. it is important nhs leaders have the ability to plan and important patients watching the programme know that time critical services will be provided. that is why we have the consultation. we passed the main legislation in july. consultation. we passed the main legislation injuly. haifa consultation. we passed the main legislation in july.— legislation in july. how will it work in detail— legislation in july. how will it work in detail when - legislation in july. how will it work in detail when it - legislation in july. how will it work in detail when it comes| legislation in july. how will it i work in detail when it comes to policing? are you prepared to sack a doctor or consultant who goes on strike in defiance of the minimum level of service? irate strike in defiance of the minimum level of service?— level of service? we do not think that is the _ level of service? we do not think that is the issue. _ level of service? we do not think that is the issue. if _ level of service? we do not think that is the issue. if doctors - that is the issue. if doctors refused to _ that is the issue. if doctors refused to work _ that is the issue. if doctors refused to work and - that is the issue. if doctors refused to work and you i that is the issue. if doctors | refused to work and you ask that is the issue. if doctors i refused to work and you ask for a minimum service level you will face a conflict? . . minimum service level you will face a conflict? , , . a conflict? this is something that other countries _ a conflict? this is something that other countries get _ a conflict? this is something that other countries get right - a conflict? this is something that other countries get right and i a conflict? this is something that other countries get right and that is what we have looked at. the majority of doctors i think would look at the legal position and obey the law, that is the approach that

staff would take. the main way it would apply is particularly around trade unions and any potential fines they would be subject to if they did not comply with the door. enforcement, these are decisions for employers locally. it is about enabling legislation that gives a safety net focused on patients for time critical care which other countries managed to balance. we are consulting on the detail but in terms of enforcement it is about the actions of the trade union themselves rather than enforcement taken against individual doctors who i am sure would want to abide by the law. is i am sure would want to abide by the law. . :, i am sure would want to abide by the law. , :, :, i am sure would want to abide by the law. , :, . :, i am sure would want to abide by the law. is it tone deaf? you are asking doctors and — law. is it tone deaf? you are asking doctors and bma _ law. is it tone deaf? you are asking doctors and bma to _ law. is it tone deaf? you are asking doctors and bma to come - law. is it tone deaf? you are asking doctors and bma to come to - law. is it tone deaf? you are asking i doctors and bma to come to negotiate with you in good faith on what you will pay and you are now saying but if you do not comply we will force you to? 1 if you do not comply we will force ou to? ~ . if you do not comply we will force ou to? ,, , . . you to? i think it is about a balance — you to? i think it is about a balance between _ you to? i think it is about a| balance between protecting

turning fresher. the strongest wind in the highlands and islands. up to 60 mph. brighter conditions in scotland, northern ireland, north—west england and west wales in the day but the heavy and at times thundery rain moves eastwards causing a lot of surface water by the end of the day. the window should ease in southern parts as we go through wednesday night and into thursday. but more rain go through wednesday night and into thursday. but more rain in go through wednesday night and into thursday. but more rain in the forecast the rest of the week. are you going to slide back out? moonwalking. i love it. don't you love live television? you know who is good at live telly and would never be seen doing anything like that? it is this man. dermot o'leary. broadcaster. how are you? we are really good. nobody ever asks us. how are you?- nobody ever asks us. how are you? nobody ever asks us. how are ou? ~ ., ., .,

and i know it is a challenge. they're dotted across the capital to celebrate famous people and the buildings they lived in. well, there will soon be 1,000 english heritage blue plaques. the latest addition to the scheme is being unveiled later. it will mark the former london headquarters of the women's freedom league near charing cross — which was part of the suffragette movement. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. now onto the weather. cloudy with a few spots of rain, but there is a chance of some sunny periods later in the day. expect temperatures of up to 19 degrees. there's more on our website including the new interactive dinosaurs at crystal palace. that's it from me, i'm back in around half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. our headlines today. consultants begin another strike as the government says it youtube suspends monetisation of russell brand's channel following allegations against the comedian. consultants begin another strike as the government says it could force some doctors to work during industrial action. ever wondered if you're paying more for a packet of crisps or a tin of cat food but getting less for your money? i'll explain shrinkflation, and whether shoppers should be warned. like with this sign in a french supermarket. in sport... newcastle fans in dreamland as they make their return to the champions league after a 20—year absence.

a big night ahead. and whilst they could be a bit of sunshine at the top and tail of the country, expect cloud for most outbreaks of rain and for england and wales are some strong winds. your full forecast later on. it's tuesday 19th september. youtube says it will stop russell brand making money from his online channel. the google owned company said he was violating our creative responsibility policy. four women have accused the comedian of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse. let's get the latest. this news breaking within the last half hour orso breaking within the last half hour or so that youtube will stop that monetisation, meaning he cannot make money from the adverts around his videos online. what more do we know? that's right. russell brand might have disappeared from more traditional media outlets over

recent years but has built this huge online following on social media, the likes of twitter, instagram and youtube. youtube is where he seems to have the most support, over 6 million subscribers watch is near daily videos. what monetisation means is that when you click on a video on youtube, the company plays an advert from another company or organisation before the video, sometimes during it, and at the end, as well, and the creators of the accounts and monetise and get a cut of the profits. russell brand —— russell brand has made a lot of money from that. this morning youtube and i contacted google and they have come back and said we have suspended the monetisation of his channel for violating our creative responsibility channel. the creators of platform here behind our users or ecosystem we take steps to protect the community. i have gone on to russell brand's channel, which is still there. there are no adverts that play around the videos but there is something cold paid promotion, where he himself in the

middle of the video plug is a product or a brand or a website, and thatis product or a brand or a website, and that is still there so is potential he could still be making money from that. in terms of the other developments, yesterday afternoon officers, not naming brand, here at new scotland yard, came forward to say they have received an allegation from a woman of a sexual assault allegedly in 2003 in soho in central london. that came to light after they put out a call over the weekend for anyone who had similar allegations to those in the sunday times, the times and channel 4's dispatches to come forward. the met also say they are in contact with the programme makers, with those newspapers, make sure that all of the women featured know how to contact them to report the allegations, should they want to. this is a significant development in this. there will likely now be and that investigation and they will likely want to speak to russell brand, as well. he has denied all allegations. the last we heard of

him was of course that youtube video ahead of the publication of these details over the weekend. he has not spoken since, apart from at his gig in wembley on saturday night. but his gig that was meant to be today in windsor has been cancelled, as have the rest of his tour dates. for now, have the rest of his tour dates. for now. thank — have the rest of his tour dates. for now, thank you very much. we will be back with you if there are more details. that breaking news, youtube suspending monetisation of russell brand's channel. more on that as we get it. let's look at the other main stories, sally has those. consultants have begun a two—day strike with junior doctors joining them tomorrow. the government says in order to protect patient safety, it is considering introducing minimum service level regulations, that would require some doctors to work during strikes. our health correspondent dominic hughes has this report. 13—year—old phoebe is waiting for an operation on the tumour on her face. twice it's been cancelled because of industrial action by doctors. last week it was due to go ahead again, but this time there was no bed available. the delays are taking their toll.

i'm not going to say it's selfish cos i understand with the cost—of—living crisis, it's very hard at the moment — especially for some people who maybe aren't getting paid as much as they should, especially for what they do. and i respect them, i really do, but for patients like me, it's really draining to keep having it, like, postponed, and really mentally damaging because you don't know what's going to be — you're getting so much anxiety from when it's next going to be. today's action by consultant doctors in england will be their third walk—out. the previous consultant strike days — which occurred last month — saw nearly 46,000 appointments cancelled or delayed, with around 6,000 staff off each day. overall, the nhs in england has seen ten months of industrial action, during which more than 885,000 inpatient and outpatient appointments have been rescheduled. but for doctors like richard clarkson, these strikes are notjust about pay, but the future of the health service.

you know, we have got to use this moment to really get the message across that we are haemorrhaging talent overseas. we are in a situation where the brightest and the best in schools aren't going to go into medicine, they're not going to want to become medical consultants — they're probably going to want to become financial consultants or management consultants. we want the brightest and best to be treating our families in the nhs for years to come. no ifs, no buts, no junior doctor cuts. tomorrow the consultants will be joined by their junior—doctor colleagues. nhs bosses predict almost all planned care will be affected. the government has announced it's looking at introducing minimum service levels in hospitals during strike action — defining the number of doctors, nurses and other front—line staff needed to cover urgent emergency and time—critical services. meanwhile, phoebe is facing an anxious wait to see if her latest operation — planned for thursday — will finally go ahead. dominic hughes, bbc news.

let's speak to our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. good morning. the government consulting on introducing minimum service levels. how will that go down in negotiations? hat service levels. how will that go down in negotiations? not well! in short. the government _ down in negotiations? not well! in short. the government has - down in negotiations? not well! in short. the government has had . down in negotiations? not well! in| short. the government has had the power to do this for a little while but what they are announcing today is that they are taking the first step in the legislative process, the consultation process towards setting out those levels of service that doctors will have to provide even went on strike. this morning speaking to you, steve barclay, the health secretary, said this was all about getting the balance right. in terms of getting the balance right, we need _ terms of getting the balance right, we need to protect patients as well and that— we need to protect patients as well and that is— we need to protect patients as well and that is why we are announcing the consultation on minimum service levels _ the consultation on minimum service levels in _ the consultation on minimum service levels in hospitals to protect the patients — levels in hospitals to protect the patients in terms of time critical services — patients in terms of time critical

services like chemotherapy or dialysis. — services like chemotherapy or dialysis, that are not covered by a christmas — dialysis, that are not covered by a christmas day service. also recognising people's important right to strike _ recognising people's important right to strike but it is necessary to get the balance right in terms of time critical— the balance right in terms of time critical services in hospital and that is— critical services in hospital and that is what we are setting out with the consultation today.— the consultation today. obviously this comes _ the consultation today. obviously this comes at _ the consultation today. obviously this comes at a _ the consultation today. obviously this comes at a critical _ the consultation today. obviously this comes at a critical time - the consultation today. obviously this comes at a critical time in . the consultation today. obviously| this comes at a critical time in the dispute between the government and between doctors and so todayjust in the last hour or so, consultants have begun a 48—hour strike. tomorrow, junior doctors begin a three—day strike so that means that tomorrow for the first time junior doctors and consultants will be on strike at the same time. i think part of what has prompted the government to come out with these measures today is a recognition that despite what the government thought was some progress on pay, there is still a bit of a golf between the government's position and the doctor's' position so i wouldn't be surprised if before long you are hearing steve barclay again talking

about mitigations for patients for another set of strikes.— about mitigations for patients for another set of strikes. henry, thank ou. the metropolitan police says more than a thousand officers are currently suspended or on restricted duties, as it tries to root out corruption in its ranks. the met says it will take years to get rid of officers who have breached standards or failed vetting — and there are plans for 60 misconduct hearings every month for possibly the next two years. the government is expected announce it will intervene in the running of birmingham city council. the local authority effectively declared bankrupcy earlier this month, saying it couldn't afford to settle an equal pay claim of around three quarters of a billion pounds. the government has shown a "lack of leadership and deep—rooted complacency" in regulating the water industry, according to a house of lords committee. in an open letter to the environment secretary, peers have called for urgent improvements in the handling of the sewage problem and better protection for vulnerable customers.

a new long—term contract has been awarded to the train operator avanti, it will run for a maximum term of nine years, and avanti was previously told to improve after a period of poor performance, which it blamed on driver shortages and poor industrial relations. fellow operator cross—country has been given a new contract for four years with a maximum of eight. the us military has found debris from the stealth fighterjet which vanished over south carolina on sunday after the pilot ejected amid a so—called "mishap". everything was fine. i say fine, nobody was hurt and the pilot was able to eject. the $80 millionjet was abandoned on auto—pilot and crashed hours later. but guess what?! couldn't find it! laughter do you know why? because it is stealth jet. laughter you think someone would notice if it

there is hope and there is help out there for everyone that is struggling, and for people like us that are left behind. if it happened to max, it can happen to anybody. and that's a startling fact. hope. it's... it's always, for me, been about hope. i er... three mums brought together by the loss of their sons to suicide. kim. liz. and michelle. mums to hayden. seb. and maxi. that's all right. are you feet going to get wet there, love? on friday, they're setting out on a walk of more than 250 miles to keep that message of hope out there. he was my life, the love of my life.

it was just myself and maxi, so i brought him up on my own. you know, without him, i didn't think that life could really ever be anything other than an existence. but, actually, it has to be, and it will be, and i think that's where i found some resilience. that is the face of a man who's just enjoyed a free period. _ he's nourished. he was such a happy boy, such a smiler, that for me it was about continuing and trying to smile as much as i could and wear my red lipstick for max because it was his favourite! hayden didn't feel able that he could sort of openly ask for help. i think if he'd have known about papyrus — cos i didn't know about papyrus then — there would have been a good chance that he would have been... "i'm not the only young person here that is struggling." if he'd have just asked for help, if he'd have known that more help was there available outside of going to see a doctor, then give him medication, i think hayden would still be here.

it's a video, isn't it? laughter. a kind...loving...very loyal. he was just seb. he wasjust... and if he'd have any idea how much he's been missed by so many, - he'd still be here. but he didn't. the mums have been inspired by the 3 dads walking, who've been calling for suicide prevention to be made a compulsory part of the school curriculum. what do you think that seb would make of you doing this? he'd be thinking, "oh, i can't believe — how cringe is this that mum's doing this?" yeah. but actually, when we get to the end, i think he'd be really, really proud.

yeah. hayden'd just be looking down on me saying, "you're having a laugh, you ain't going to do that!" but, yeah, hayden... he'd support us 100%. he'd say, "blooming good on you, love!"| and he would say, probably don't talk too much! - because i can talk. laughter. the mums have a huge network of support behind them — particularly in the village of madeley — where liz lives, and the walk will start. they are fondly known as the mums army. and when i was first thinking about doing this walk, i'm looking for two mums to do the walk with me. a very good friend of mine said, "can you do the walking, can you do the training?" and i said, "yeah." she said, "well, then the universe will provide, leave it to us." come on, sweet. good girl. as long as michelle puts her hair up, she won't get tangled in a bush.

yeah, it's challenging. but do you know what? we all think we've been i through...hell and back. and, actually, it makes you think, crikey, we can do anything. - there are tough moments, - but we will absolutely achieve it. absolutely. nothing will stop us, will it? no. alison freeman, bbc news, madeley. those three very special mums are here with us this morning. good morning. here with us this morning. good morninu. here with us this morning. good mornin. _ ,., ., ., here with us this morning. good morning._ thank| here with us this morning. good i morning._ thank you so morning. good morning. thank you so much for sharing _ morning. good morning. thank you so much for sharing what _ morning. good morning. thank you so much for sharing what is _ morning. good morning. thank you so much for sharing what is an _ much for sharing what is an incredibly difficult story for all of you. that beautiful film there. there is a really important message, really important reason you are here, you are together, that you want to share with people today and lots of ways it is a message of not giving up and a message of finding hope. what would you say about that,

former serving officers. the force said there are plans for 60 misconduct hearings a month as it tries to drive up standards. we know we've got so much to do to rebuild that trust and to rebuild that connection. the more effort that we do to identify those who are corrupting policing and corrupting that contract — and we will be and we will continue to do that — the more difficult cases will come to light. and i know it is a tension, it is a challenge. a block of flats in kilburn has been evacuated after a fire broke out on the 13th floor. around 60 firefighters tackled the blaze which began yesterday evening. it's now under control and no—one's been hurt. brent council has set up a rest centre for anyone needing shelter. they're dotted across the capital to celebrate famous people and the buildings they lived in. there will soon be1000 english heritage blue plaques. the latest addition to the scheme is being unveiled later. it will mark the former headquarters of the women's freedom league

of course, it's feeling cooler than it has been, too. and it is a cooler start to this morning. a few spells of brightness out towards the east, perhaps, for a time, but thickening cloud towards the west. there will be a lot of dry weather today, but always the chance of some outbreaks of rain, some light, patchy rain and drizzle here at times — particularly with the thickness of the cloud. but it's going to be very windy today, a very blustery day of weather, with a brisk south—westerly wind — perhaps gusting as high as a0 to 45 miles an hour at times. temperatures at about 18 degrees celsius, with this weather front — we've got some rather warm, muggy—feeling air again. so overnight tonight, then, temperatures may not drop below the mid—teens in celsius into tomorrow morning. there will be some dry weather around tomorrow, particularly through the morning, but we are expecting some heavy rain through the afternoon. and there's a brisk westerly wind — again, some strong gusts of wind of over a0 miles an hour at times. there's more on our website, including the new interactive dinosaurs at crystal palace. that's it, i'm back in around half an hour.

hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. you may have noticed you're getting less for your money in the supermarket and it's notjust because of increased prices during the cost—of—living crisis. it's to do with something called "shrinkflation" and ben has all the details. is annoying. it has touched a nerve for many. related to the cost of living. some manufacturers thinking keep the price the same and making packs smaller is price the same and making packs smaller is a price the same and making packs smaller is a better price the same and making packs smaller is a better alternative price the same and making packs smaller is a better alternative to putting up prices when budgets are squeezed. you may have noticed that you pay the same price for your favourite coffee or packet of biscuits only to find out that it's shrunk in size. that's because of something called shrinkflation where manufacturers cut the size and weight of products rather than asking us to pay more.

we've found a few examples, like a standard multipack of penguin biscuits. there used to be eight in a pack, now there are seven. this is a 12.5% reduction in size, while the retail price has stayed the same. a small pack of lurpak butter used to be 250 grams, but now it's 200 grams — which is a 20% reduction in size. one supermarket in france has started alerting customers about products affected. it's putting signs just like this one on shelves. it says, "shrinkflation — this product has got smaller and the price charged by our supplier has gone up." and labour mp andy mcdonald, who sits on the business committee in parliament, thinks that should be replicated here. he says...

he claimed that it's evidence of manufacturers exploiting customers. the british retail consortium says that quantities and sizes are always on the packaging and shrinkflation does not break any rules. we can speak to a consumerjournalist. is that right, it does not break any rules? it that right, it does not break any rules? , ., ., that right, it does not break any rules? , . ., ., , that right, it does not break any rules? , ., ., ., , ., rules? it is legal and it has gone on a lona rules? it is legal and it has gone on a long time. _ rules? it is legal and it has gone on a long time. you _ rules? it is legal and it has gone on a long time. you may - rules? it is legal and it has gone i on a long time. you may remember when toblerone got rid of a triangle in its chocolate bar. and every year, quality street and rose's chocolates seem to get smaller but it has hit home that now inflation is soaring ahead. food inflation hit 19% this year. it has come down a little. at the same time,

manufacturers are cutting sizes which is when consumers understandably get enraged. taste which is when consumers understandably get enraged. we had so many text — understandably get enraged. we had so many text messages _ understandably get enraged. we had so many text messages about - understandably get enraged. we had so many text messages about this. | so many text messages about this. someone made a good point that in the long run, does it make costs more expensive for manufacturers because they have to make more packets, people buy them more often, a waste of packaging and bad for the environment. in the long run this presumably pushes up costs for everyone?— presumably pushes up costs for eve one? ., ., ., ., ,., everyone? you would have thought so but it is not the _ everyone? you would have thought so but it is not the case. _ everyone? you would have thought so but it is not the case. what _ everyone? you would have thought so but it is not the case. what emerged i but it is not the case. what emerged out of this food inflation environment over the past two years is the manufacturers in the main have not suffered. they have not shared the pain. in the same way, to credit supermarkets, their profits have fallen over the past year. the competition authorities investigated and found they were making less money in their pocket for every pound they got in the till. the food

manufacturers' profits are significantly higher than supermarkets and they have not fallen. it is a negotiating tactic on the part of the supermarkets and it is happening in france with a supermarket putting up labels to shame the manufacturers to essentially get the upper hand in negotiating tactics to get price cuts from the manufacturers. i am not sure consumers necessarily win out, it is consumers stuck in the middle in a row between the supermarkets and manufacturers. do you think the signs on the shelves would work here or is there something better we could do as customers to look for a better deal? the signs are a clever move on the part of supermarkets but in the uk, over half of all the things we buy our supermarket own label. we have a huge proportion compared with the rest of the world with own label goods. with the supermarkets be honest about their own products they

have cut in size as well as manufacturers such as unilever. i am not so sure. what needs to happen is clearer labels in terms of package sizes and price per unit. the supermarkets say they are working hard and abiding to the law. you walk down through a typical supermarket and you have something with one litre and another similar product with a difference and you do not want to get out a calculator to work out what is what we do not have the time to do that and i think the supermarkets know it so the labelling on the shelf needs to be clearer. .. .., labelling on the shelf needs to be clearer. .. .. , , labelling on the shelf needs to be clearer. , , ~ labelling on the shelf needs to be clearer. ,, ~ ., ., clearer. practical tips. a lot of ou clearer. practical tips. a lot of you have _ clearer. practical tips. a lot of you have been _ clearer. practical tips. a lot of you have been in _ clearer. practical tips. a lot of you have been in touch - clearer. practical tips. a lot of you have been in touch by- clearer. practical tips. a lot of. you have been in touch by e-mail clearer. practical tips. a lot of - you have been in touch by e-mail and you have been in touch by e—mail and whatsapp. someone said this has happened a while. a number of viewers say they have noticed it with pet food with cat food pouches

shrinking in size. angela has commented on the butter example. she has noticed both lurpak sizes have shrunk but remain at original prices. and a viewer has practical evidence, 300 grams of cream crackers used to not fit entirely in the tin at home and they said they would pack them on the side and on top and now the whole pack fits in without problem. plenty of examples. thank you for your messages. it has clearly touched a nerve. advice from me. look at the supermarket shelves, it tells you the price per hundred grams. if you are comparing value it can be a guide to whether you are being charged more with a smaller packet. studio: the cracker tin wins. every time, as a phrase in itself.

i reckon you can tell, when you look at something it is 73 grams and i reckon it used to be 75. we are doing the opposite of shrinkflation now. booming newcastle. plenty of cash. with the return of the champions league, manchester city, celtic, perhaps in it regularly. newcastle, i do not think this day, they thought would come. pretty high chances, the way they are playing, going into this in confidence. they will be cheered on by the newcastle fans who have made the trip and those packing into bars everywhere. good morning. they suffered two relegations from the premier league in the last 20 years since they last qualified for champions league but they are back

in the big time and determined to enjoy it. as patrick gearey reports. it's a long way from newcastle to milan. since their lastjourney to the champions league, their world has turned many times. two relegations, various demonstrations, acrimony and now harmony. # is this the way to barcelona #. a soundtrack for an adventure. it means so much to the fans. after the takeover and certainly with mike ashley, it is amazing. we are back in the champions league and doing it properly— with a proper group — psg, dortmund, milan. i keep looking around and thinking i am here to watch newcastle in the champions league. it's fantastic. their most famous champions league night was 26 years ago almost to the day. the hat—trick from asprilla took them to a 3—2 win over mighty barcelona —

a famous victory toasted afterwards by the owner sirjohn hall, a local businessman. football is now a different game and newcastle are owned by a public investment fund backed by saudi cash — which comes with ethical concerns given saudi arabia's often criticised human rights record. their resources are vast but they have not funded a revolution. instead careful progress that will be tested by a difficult group including paris saint—germain and tonight's opponents ac milan. as a kid you are always watching the champions league which is where you see some of the best players. some of the world's best. it will be an honour to go there but we are not going to spectate and be in awe of the stadium. it will be a nice arena, but we are there to compete. we have got ourselves in the competition and why not? tonight, newcastle will be inducted back into european football's most

exclusive club at one of its most famous venues, and high in the san siro is a good place to see how far you have come. how much are they enjoying it? enough to barely slide seminaked perhaps on a milan pavement. this is what newcastle fans have been up to a head of the game. it looks fun. i suppose 20 years is a long time so if you are going to enjoy it, soak it up. manchester city start their defence against red star belgrade. will their campaign end with another parade with three trophies on display? the champions league, their crowning moment. celtic facing dutch champions feyenoord. their only other previous meeting with the rotterdam club came in the 1970 european cup final. not european action but premier league action for burnley and nottingham

forest last night. burnley took the lead in this one when zeki amdouni scored but the new forest signing callum hudson—odoi curled in a superb equaliser on his debut to earn a one—all draw. there was still time for burnley to have a man sent off and a goal disallowed through var. and the lovely thing about football is when best friends with split loyalties come together to enjoy a game. two special guests introduced before the game last night — cricketing legends stuart broad and jimmy anderson. broad a forest fan, jimmy a big burnley fan. over 1,200 test wickets between them. smiling then, and i imagine, still talking after following that one all draw.

the spanish footballjenni had no so has accused intimidating behaviour. despite being on strike over their treatment and conditions in the squad. the former president pictured there eventually resigning following there eventually resigning following the case on her but hermoso who was left out of the squad said little has changed and there is a long way to go before she and some of the players would be willing to return. she was told she was left out to protect her. her argument is if the conditions are right in the squad, what do i need protecting from, i should be willing and ready to come back? thank you. presenter chris tarrant has had one of the most varied careers in television — from the custard pie throwing nonsense of tiswas to the drama and tension

on who wants to be a millionaire? chris has spent more than 50 years entertaining and quizzing tv audiences. i caught icaught up i caught up with him to look back at his memories. and here is a quick reminder. tiswas theme. # saturday, saturday. # saturday is tiswas day. # saturday, saturday. # saturday is tiswas # never—again to miss cos saturday is tiswas day #. i cheering. hello, as you've been hearing, tremendous atmosphere here for the first pop quiz in a decade. we're in the bbc pebble mill studio. what do you think of the show so far? we're in the bbc pebble mill studio in birmingham, we're looking forward to lots of calls. and you didn't think it could possibly be grain. if you'd gone for grain...

..you'd just have lost a60,000! cheering. you are a millionaire! fantastic. chris joins us now. morning. i'm really sorry to say this first up, but 50 years. yes. all right, sal. yes, it's a long time. and i'm very, very ancient. it's been an incredible time. i've had a brilliant time. i have loved everything of it. i really have loved everything i've ever done, you know? and the whole thing about, you know, it's not a properjob, you know, sally, and i know. and don't tell everybody, it's not a properjob. dear old terry wogan, one of the nicest, kindest men i ever met, said to me once, "you know, i've never done a day's work since i left the bank in dublin." and i know what he meant. hejust loved doing it. but you could tell that about him and maybe, i think, we can tell that about you.

because you realise, it doesn't always have to be serious, does it? no. i had a great time, i had a great time on the radio. tiswas was brilliant, fun, ridiculous fun for young guys. and millionaire wasjust a delight to do it, you know? i mean, it was huge. but also, ijust love the people bouncing — you know, how are you going to how are you going to play? how much money do you need? are you going to lose it? all that stuff. incredible drama, millionaire, incredible personal drama, watching eyeball to eyeball. you've just won £1 million! you are amazing! £1 million. was that a difficultjob to do? no, it's not a properjob! no, it wasn't. i mean, i did get quite nervous when we started. the first one, i remember for once actually saying to my missus and my manager, can you just go outside and give me five minutes?

i don't normally do that. ijust wanted to get my head together because i didn't know, nobody knew, how huge it was going to be. but we knew it was to be quite a major gig and it was going to be on every single night of the week for ten nights and all that, which is very brave by the then controller. and itjust went through the roof. i'm interested in the possibility of you being nervous. why do you think that made you nervous? because... i thinkjust an awful lot of people wanted it to fail. an awful lot of people said it will fail. why? because it was too much money. and there was a lot of talk about people getting greedy and ruining their lives. it never ruined anybody�*s life. people getting big sums of money. it's good. it's good fun, you know? i was just aware of a tremendous amount riding on it. more so for a few other people behind the scenes than me — people put their houses on it.

and it was quite a change for me, i suppose, from a lot of the sort of lighter stuff i'd done. it was quite a proper, serious, grown—up programme, so yeah, i was a bit nervous. let's talk about the opposite of grown up programmes. tell me about tiswas. tell you about tiwas? yes, that wasn't grown—up. it was just mad. it was wonderful. i mean, if i do an after—dinner now, bearing in mind all the things i've done for so long, the first question will be something about sallyjames or spit the dog or something. i can't understand why sally james never gets a custard pie. ido! i think we can clear that up. cheering. i mean, ijust remember one morning i'm rolling about in custard with annie lennox, chrissie hynde and sheena easton, and i thought, "i'm being paid for this — what a great gig!" how rehearsed was it? not at all. wow. we didn't have time! really, not at all? no, we were on air at 9:00 on a saturday morning. frank carson and i used to go to a pub called the garryowen and drink till the small hours and write most of the script, and then the next morning we'd go and do it.

you'd write the script in the pub? sometimes on a beer mat. that's how small the script was? yes, but it was... in its way, you just did outlines. no, we did — we talked through things in the morning. we didn't have time — you didn't have time to rehearse, and it was live, live, live. i want to remind you of a moment, though, that is tiswas—related — when you won an nta award, was it a lifetime achievement award? yeah. and there was a phantom flan flinger. yeah. tell us about that. w'd won the...whatever you got for who wants to be a millionaire again. and then at the end, trevor mcdonald said, "oh, and finally there's a lifetime achievement award." and i sort of realised this person they were talking about was me. and it's at the royal albert hall. and all these various clips went out and stuff i'd done — which was great, and i was suitably proud and humbled. and then he said, "we've got one more surprise for you." and this figure comes on all in black with just the eyes showing. and it's the phantom flan flinger. and he's holding a custard pie, and i'm thinking... i'm looking at this thing, thinking, "surely he's not... i've got my best dicky bow on — he's not going to hit me

with the custard pie." and then i'm looking at this person thinking, "well, it's not the original flan flinger," cos he had a bit of a tum—tum. it's obviously not sally james, it's obviously not lenny henry, who on earth is it?! and then this person peeled the wig off and the hat and all the bits. it was my dad! happy birthday, my son. and it wasjust like, "oh, my god..." i spoke to dad in the morning and he said, you know, "good luck tonight, mum and i'll be watching," and all that. and then, wicked old devil, he didn't tell me was actually already in the car on the way to the studios. and when he took the mask off, oh, my... i mean, iwas... i was tears. cos i gave him a huge bear hug. i remember looking up all around — all the boxes were standing up, cheering. i thought, this is me and my dad, my best mate, you know, one of my heroes, in the albert hall. and it was... you know, i said in the book, i don't think it will ever get better than that. of course, it never did. he was... he was a wonderful human being — a lovely, lovely guy. and hejust did that, which isjust an extraordinary thing to do.

it's wonderful. how do you surprise a person who is unsurprisable on live television? that's what you do. you bring your dad on. wicked old devil. and everybody knew — all my mates knew, you know, everybody knew about it except me! one of the things i don't think you mention in the book, but i know is a huge part of your life is, you had a stroke several years ago, didn't you? yeah. on an aeroplane. mm—hm. and... so scary, yeah. 39,000 feet. i got on this plane and my arm was sort of playing up a bit and whatever. and slowly... and it was night time — i was coming back from bangkok, i'm been filming in burma. and slowly i sort of was almost losing consciousness and coming back and losing it and coming back. and i realised after a while, i'm having a stroke. and i thought... it sounds daft — it's a very british thing, like... you know, i don't want to... i don't want to worry anybody. make a fuss. and i didn't want to [and anywhere. you know, because from bangkok to london —

which is like, you know, god knows how many hours, the longest night of my life — there's no way you'd really want to stop your plane — you know, why would you come down? so ijust wanted to get home. and when i finally got off the plane, ifell over and they rushed me to hospital. i was very lucky. very lucky. i mean, i'm completely, completely well — totally sorted. but it was scary. did that change you in any way? er... i stopped drinking whisky. jane prepared a much more careful diet than i was living on — the pies went out the window. yeah, of course it did, it calmed me down a bit. a bit. not completely. no, not completely, but a bit. good to know. chris tarrant, thank you so much forjoining us. thank you. what a lovely conversation and what an incredible story. i did not want to bother anyone. i did not want to land. ijust want to get home. an interesting decision but good to see him fit and well. and what a career. 50 years in the

business. chris tarrant�*s book is called it's not a properjob — stories from 50 years in tv. a very properjob is telling us what the weather will do matt, good morning. i think you have gone viral. one of those mornings. definitely not a properjob. some proper rain this morning. let me take you to leeds. this shot probably sums up the day for many. it has disappeared but it will come back. raining heavily in leeds linked to a weather system that will work its way through to tomorrow, bringing strong winds. the heaviest rain in northern england, scotland and western wales. easing off in northern ireland. it will come again later on. some brightness in the

south—east. the far north of scotland, passing potentially thundery showers but here sunshine as well. just the central swathe with some of the wettest conditions. through the afternoon, strong winds and for much of the day around the channel islands, england and wales. the strongest gusting may be up to 60 mph in the west. further north, not as strong but blustering. rain returning to northern ireland and south—west scotland this afternoon but still sunshine to end the day further north. in the north of scotland, 13—15. 19—21 in the south. feeling humid in england and wales but that will be tempered by the strength of the wind that remains strong tonight in england and wales. heavy bursts of rain returning to the north and west later. and with that we could see thunder. a mild

night in england and wales. the lowest temperatures 8—9. wednesday, lowest temperatures 8—9. wednesday, low pressure brings stronger winds later to the highlands but to begin with, england and wales, windy. rain heavy at times. moving southwards and eastwards. might not reach east anglia and kent coast until the end of the day. brightening up in the west. across the highlands and islands, frequent showers that could merge with longer spells of rain and here strongest winds will develop up to 60 mph possible. whilst we start with sunshine on thursday, a fresh start, showers will develop and some will be thundery. some spots staying dry. temperatures down byjust a little bit at around ill—19. driving this change to something more autumnal is thejet

this change to something more autumnal is the jet stream. it is being fed by decaying atlantic hurricanes and strengthening towards us and it is in the dips we see low pressure. at the end of the week, the weekend, a gap between the systems which means by the end of friday into the start of saturday, some brighter weather but more rain and winds later in the weekend. we look forward to that! brighter days. we will try next week. you're watching bbc breakfast. it's 8:59
