from croissants and coffee to petrol and wine, we will find out how much all sorts of goods and services went up all sorts of goods and services went up in price when we get the latest inflation figures today. i'll be at a shop in nottingham. in sport... a valuable point for newcastle on their long—awaited champions league return, whilst the holders manchester city score three. news on a dreadful night for celtic to come. the plastic lawn backlash — we'll find out why sales of fake grass are falling. plus it is still pretty windy out there this morning and we will see some heavy rain sweep across england and wales. i will heavier full forecast details here on breakfast. the prime minister has confirmed he'll give details this week of plans to change some of the government's key green policies — which could include watering down some environmental pledges. mr sunak has insisted he's committed to reaching net—zero

carbon emissions by 2050, but in what he's called "a more proportionate way". our political editor, chris mason, has more details. within the conservative party in recent months, a fuming row, a cost—of—living squeeze, but extra costs feared for families to meet green targets. long—term promises, short—term political pressures. and then this moment. 13,965. cheering. in the london suburbs, a tory by—election win this summer when many expected defeat. and the key issue, a costly clampdown on dirty vehicles imposed by the capital's labour mayor — an idea the conservatives opposed. cutting carbon matters, the prime minister has long argued — but a balance has to be struck. i'm committed to net zero. of course i am. but we're going to do that in a pragmatic and a proportionate

way without unnecessarily adding costs and burdens to families, particularly at a time like now, when the cost of living is a challenge for people with inflation where it is. in new york this week, as world leaders gather at the united nations, intense debate, too, about climate change and what to do about it. among those there, this conservative mp — who led a review into the government's approach to net zero. this is going to be an economic disaster. actually, we are missing out already. we see the united states — where i am here at new york climate week — actually turbo—charging their efforts towards a green industrial revolution. why do we want to fall behind? did your heart sink when you heard about this? we still have, you know, a couple of hours and days in which maybe the prime minister might want to change his mind. well, thank you very much. but some conservatives and others have long campaigned forjust this kind of policy shift. as many other western countries are already doing, delay implementing net—zero

commitments — such as the ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles from 2030. this is an absolute farce. this is absolutely noi way to run a country. late—night policy statements - from the downing street bunker — as ever, driven by the absolute - chaos within the conservative party with a weak conservative - prime minister, rishi sunak. but there was no commitment from labour to restore any targets that are dropped. a leak within government, and a huge row boiling over — more than ever. let's get the latest on this now from our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. good morning, henry. confirmation that the prime minister will change some of those key green policies but that could prove highly controversial even for some in his own party. it controversial even for some in his own party-— own party. it absolutely could. i think there _ own party. it absolutely could. i think there are _ own party. it absolutely could. i think there are three _ own party. it absolutely could. i think there are three things - own party. it absolutely could. i | think there are three things that are fascinating here. there is the

substance, there is the rhetoric that rishi sunak is going to use in this speech, and there is the political impact. let's take them in ten will stop on the substance. what we think rishi sunak is considering is a very big deal. firstly, this ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars, which has been government policy for a few years, but would come into fales in 2030. if that is delayed —— come into force. if it is delayed until 2035 it would affect businesses and consumers. secondly, the ban on new installation of gas boilers due to come into effect in 2035. we think rishi sunak is considering weakening that so it would be phased out in 2035, you would have a target of about 80% of new gas boilers not being installed by that point. that would still be very significant. then there is the rhetoric that rishi sunak in this dramatic late night statement yesterday evening seemed to use. he said he wants to be honest with the public about the

costs and trade—offs of hitting the net zero by 2050. that is by implication saying that his predecessors, many of them conservative, have been dishonest with the public about how to hit the net zero. and then there is the politics. as you said, this will go down badly with some bits of the conservative party. but it will also be cheered to the rafters by other bits of the conservative party because, as you are hearing there, there has been a big debate within there has been a big debate within the conservative party over the last year or so about how to deal with net zero. rishi sunak, it seems, has picked a side. net zero. rishi sunak, it seems, has picked a side-— picked a side. henry, thank you very much. picked a side. henry, thank you very much- that — picked a side. henry, thank you very much- that is _ picked a side. henry, thank you very much. that is henry _ picked a side. henry, thank you very much. that is henry zeffman - much. that is henry zeffman reporting from westminster this morning. let's get more of the news of the day from jon. for the first time in the history of the nhs, both consultants and junior doctors in england will go on strike later today. it's part of a long—running dispute about pay and conditions. consultants began their two—day walk—out yesterday. junior doctors join them today

as they begin a three—day strike. our health correspondent sharon barbour reports. horn beeps. it's a strike never seen before in the history of the nhs. today sees both senior doctors — or consultants — and junior doctors refusing to work, united in anger over pay. none of us want to be on strike — we'd much rather be at work looking after patients. that's what we went to medical school for. but we know that if we don't solve this problem, if we don't deal with the pay issues that are resulting in doctors leaving the nhs, leaving the uk and going to work in other countries where they are valued properly, then the services are going to struggle even more in future. doctors will be there for emergency care, but health bosses say patients are still in danger. and, despite weeks of planning, hospitals are under intense pressure. during the industrial action in september so far, we've had to cancel 420 inpatient and day—case operations and 2,600 outpatient appointments.

and, of course, every time we cancel those, we're having to reschedule them, which is taking slots that other patients would ordinarily have been booked into. so, you know, it's a very disruptive period for our patients. and patients who've waited for months for operations or appointments have to wait even longer — including cancer patients. it's bad news for hospital waiting lists — in england, already at record levels — around 7.7 million patients. and that's more than the population of all of scotland and northern ireland. but there is a glimmer of hope, and talk of what's being described as constructive conversations taking place behind the scenes. it's not coming from ministerial level — the secretary of state hasn't met with consultants for more than 150 days — it's coming from a lower level in the department of health, but there is some movement there. we'd like to see that built on, we'd like to see a decent offer

that we would be able to put to our members and say, "is it enough for the dispute to end?" the consultants strike will end at 7:00 tomorrow morning, and the junior—doctors strike will finish 2a hours later. in medical emergencies, patients are being advised to still go to accident and emergency or to call 999. sharon barbour, bbc news. inflation is expected to have risen in august for the first time in six months — in an unwelcome reversal of the recent slowdown in the cost—of—living crisis. economists believe the figure — which will be released injust under an hour — will show inflation rose from 6.8% injuly, to 7.1% in august. dharshini david has this report. at this chain of cafe bars, a 30% increase in food bills has meant some unpalatable choices for the boss in plymouth. typically, in normal years, we'd increase our prices by around i.5%, 2%.

this last year, we've increased our prices by 8%. and so thinking about our burger and fries — so we do an excellent burger and fries — that used to be £9.95 here, and that's now £10.95 on the menu. but they've still been able to expand. customers — helped, perhaps, by pandemic savings or wage rises — have swallowed the higher prices as they treat themselves after the lockdown years. we've seen no kind of examples of people trading down or changing the way that they behave. and we're pretty representative — we trade throughout wales and england in all sorts of different towns and high streets. and, as i said, we've seen no shift in behaviour. and what you would typically expect if people were tightening their belts is you'd see fewer people out at the start of the week, you'd see less spending as you approach payday, and then a concentration of spending around payday. and those are the things that we look for when we're

looking at the data, and we haven't seen any of that. shops, bars, restaurants — even hairdressers — because some of their customers are feeling flush, they're able to push up prices. and those prices make up part of what's called core inflation. that's higher than the bank of england would like to see. that might mean there's another increase in interest rates tomorrow, even though overall inflation is weaker than it was at the end of last year. higher global oil prices, however, have pushed up petrol prices on the forecourt once again, meaning inflation is a bit more stubborn than it may have been. we've seen, since the beginning of august, petrol go up by 10p a litre and diesel by 13p — that's added £5.50 to filling up an average family petrol car, and £7 if you're driving a diesel. and while some items on the weekly shop are getting cheaper, food prices remain much higher than a year ago, as retailers, too, grapple with higher costs. the pain from this cost—of—living crisis isn't over yet.

dharshini david, bbc news. the tech firm meta — which owns facebook — has hit back at a new government campaign which criticises its plans to encrypt messages by the end of the year. the home secretary suella braverman has warned that hundreds of child abusers could escape punishment in the uk if the company makes its messaging services completely private. meta says it has developed "robust" safety measures. millions of low—income households will receive their next cost of living payment soon, the government has announced. £300 will be paid to eligible people between the 31st of october and the 19th of november. it's the second of three instalments. the safety of maternity care at two midlands nhs hospitals has been rated "inadequate" with "staff pushed to the brink" and mothers and babies put at risk. the care quality commission downgraded its ratings

for leicester royal infirmary and leicester general hospital following inspections in february and march. the university hospitals of leicester nhs trust, which runs the sites, said it took the findings of the report "incredibly seriously" and was already making improvements. the king and queen are beginning a three—day state visit to france. the trip was postponed in march because of protests in france against planned pension reforms. the royal couple will visit paris and bordeaux. hugh schofield sent this report from the french capital. a sumptuous chateau built for a one—time enemy of england — louis xiv. tonight, in its hall of mirrors, the setting for a state banquet in which king charles and queen camilla are the honoured guests. the palace and the gardens are looking their very best. france may no longer be a monarchy, but under emmanuel macron they like to do things in style. state visits are symbolic occasions, but nonetheless important for all that.

and here in versailles, the message is clear — that, despite all the dissensions of recent times over brexit and other matters, the historic alliance between britain and france — two countries that are so close in so many ways — is solid and unchanged. the king and the president have met before, here at a ceremony in london in 2020. and the king is no stranger to france — he's visited dozens of times over the years in private and official capacities. and like his mother, the late queen, he's comfortable in the language. he speaks french. though, of course, one link is a sad and tragic one. in august 1997, he travelled to paris to accompany back the body of his former wife, princess diana, after she died in the car crash. france's top royal watcher, stephane bern — who's met for france's top royal watcher, stephane bern — who's met king charles several times — the trip will once again reveal

the latent monarchism that he says lies inside many french people. we love england, we love the united kingdom. in general, people love the british royal family. we know everything about them. we love them. we love the queen. we want to show king charles and queen camilla that we love them, too. back in march, certain local difficulties — protests over raising the pension age caused the royal visit to be postponed at the last minute. no such problems expected this time round — with a schedule that includes the reconstruction work at notre—dame cathedral devastated in the fire of 2019. there'll be an address to parliamentarians in the historic senate, and on friday the royal couple are in the south west city of bordeaux. and to start things off later today, a ceremony at the arc de triomphe and the tomb of the unknown soldier — a reminder of the shared sacrifices of the last century of these two allied nations. hugh schofield, bbc news, paris.

the former mayor of london, ken livingstone, has been diagnosed with alzheimer's. the 78—year—old was a prominent figure in london politics for more than four decades from the 1970s. he was elected as the first mayor of london, and held that role for eight years from 2000. in a statement, his family said he was being "well cared for". an ambulance worker who was saved by his patient and a nurse after he suffered a cardiac arrest has thanked them for giving him "another chance in life". shaun mcbride suddenly collapsed while he was preparing to take 72—year—old tommy stewart to hospital. louise hosie went to meet them during their emotional reunion. reunited with the man who helped to save his life. tommy. ambulance worker shaun mcbride has returned to glen o'dee hospital to see patient tommy stewart. the pensioner raised the alarm after shaun

suffered a cardiac arrest. you've got a good set of lungs on you. 0h, aye. shaun had just strapped tommy into his ambulance, and was about to take him to an appointment in aberdeen when he became unwell. basically, when i woke up i was told what happened. the first person i seen was my wife. just seen the top of his head hard next to the wall. but there was no way of getting — reaching the horn on the car or none, because i'm strapped in now. so ijust, next thing was, "roar." tommy's repeated cries were eventually heard by a hospital worker. i shouted, "get help, the driver's collapsed," and then she went, "0h, me!" and she ran inside and got help out. how's it going? i'm good, thanks, how are you? nurse freya smith—nicol was on duty that day. i think immediately we kind i

of thought it was going to be one of our patients — _ just a patient — because that'sjust kind of what you put two and two together kind of thing. _ and obviously, i didn't - expect to see shaun there. freya and her team gave shaun cpr for nearly half an hour. they used a defibrillator seven times as they waited for help to arrive. after spending time in intensive care, shaun pulled through. if it wasn't for tommy raising that alarm, er... ..and then the quick actions of freya and the team, er... ..i wouldn't be sitting here today! that was a report by louise hosie. what a moment, what reunion. lovely sto . we what a moment, what reunion. lovely story- we will — what a moment, what reunion. lovely story. we will look _ what a moment, what reunion. lovely story. we will look at _ what a moment, what reunion. lovely story. we will look at the _ story. we will look at the newspapers in a moment but first let's go to matt with the weather and it is looking wild and stormy in that picture. it isa

it is a bit for some. good morning. a windy night across england and wales, still is across western and southern coasts at the moment, a0 to 50 mph gusts, more for one or two. wherever you are getting up this morning it is pretty mild start for the stage in september. these are the stage in september. these are the temperatures out there at the moment. a bit more akin to what they should be in the afternoon, never mind first thing in the morning, but it is tempered by the wind. with it, heavy rain. heaviest bursts at the moment parts of central scotland, the south—west, cumbria, developing widely across wales and the south—west eventually. patch light rain to the south—east of the drizzle, showers in the north—east of scotland. still a bit of wet weather for many this morning. heaviest rain through the first part of the day across western england and wales, midlands, south west during lunchtime and in the afternoon towards east anglia and the south—east. that's where the strongest winds will be for a while but winds will strengthen further north. in between, some of you start with rain and will brighten up later. let's look at the journey

home, strongest winds by this stage through the eastern english channel and to the south—east. heavy bursts of rain around, lots of surface water and spray on the rose. bright it further north and west, a few scattered showers, one or two members of thunder. by this stage the winds ramping up across the highlands and western isles with more persistent rain pushing in to the southern highlands. those winds remain strong tonight across the north but will ease down in east anglia and the south—east as the rain gradually clears three. some clear skies, rain gradually clears three. some clearskies, one rain gradually clears three. some clear skies, one or two showers into tomorrow morning, and much fresher start to tomorrow but a bit more sunshine around before the showers get going. sunshine and showers over the next few get going. sunshine and showers over the next few days. get going. sunshine and showers over the next few days. aha, get going. sunshine and showers over the next few days. fix. bit get going. sunshine and showers over the next few days. fix. bit of the next few days. a bit of sunshine- _ the next few days. a bit of sunshine. thank _ the next few days. a bit of sunshine. thank you - the next few days. a bit of sunshine. thank you very l the next few days. a bit of - sunshine. thank you very much indeed. let's take a look at today's front pages. many of the papers report that rishi sunak is considering scaling back some of the government's commitments on reaching net—zero carbon emissions by 2050. mixed reactions in the paper to that news this morning. the times says the changes

will include scrapping plans to ban new gas boilers from 2035, and that the prime minister will argue the deadline would impose unnecessary costs on households. the daily mail welcomes the decision with the headline "finally! common sense on net zero," reporting that the prime minister is expected to argue that net zero can be achieved through a more "pragmatic" approach. while the guardian quotes one senior conservative who says this would be the "greatest mistake of mr sunak�*s premiership" and could costjobs and increase energy bills. meanwhile, the daily mirror leads with comments from the education secretary gillian keegan, who said school children affected by crumbling concrete told her they "actually preferred being taught in a portacabin to the classroom". this one caught my eye inside, in the daily mirror. a chap called rob byrne who lives in hampshire who had an 11 foot python in what it calls

and staff leaving the profession, parents should feel reassured. totally recognise that there have been pressures on staff and recruitment. that's why we're starting this big new campaign to recruit more people to the sector, to increase the money that's going into it, and i'm confident we'll be able to support that. junior doctors and consultants at london hospitals will go on strike today, as part of the first ever joint strike of nhs staff. consultants will go back to work tomorrow, while junior doctors will remain on strike until saturday. government ministers have called the co—ordinated action "callous and calculated". it marks an escalation in an ongoing dispute over pay. camden has become the first uk council to call for the crime of ecocide, environmental damage caused by deliberate or negligent action, to be recognised by international law. the council hope it will add weight to international calls to make it a criminal offence. france became the first eu country

to put ecocide into law. there are minor delays on the circle and hammersmith and city lines. and the metropolitan line has no service in either direction from chesham and amersham to rickmansworth and severe delays between watford and moor park. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. it was very windy yesterday with gusts of wind across the capital of over a0 miles an hour at times. and the blustery theme is just set to continue throughout today. in fact, some gusts of wind today, that brisk south—westerly, could approach 50 miles an hour at times, especially ahead of and on the weather front that will give us quite a lot of rain through the afternoon. but it is a dry start to the morning, there is some early brightness out there, very mild too this morning. the wind is particularly strong through the morning and on the weather front as that rain just gradually pushes its way in from the west. and that will be with us through the afternoon. so turning wet for the second half of the day, temperatures 19 or 20 celsius, you won't notice them too

much with the strength of the wind and of course that wet second half of the day. that rain will eventually clear its way eastwards but it could pep up for a time overnight tonight perhaps. and it's a largely dry start to the day on thursday. thursday we will see some sunny spells but also some showers, the winds are lighter. coming in from the north—west so cooler feeling air from friday. that's it there's plenty more on our website or the bbc news app. now it's back to sally and jon. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. we'll get an update on the latest inflation figures in the next half an hour showing how fast prices are rising. inflation had been falling recently, but economists believe it could be set to rise again. ben's at a coffee shop in nottingham, looking at how they've been handling rising costs. extra hot, please! yes, i am hitting

in october, inflation was at 11.1% in october. it has come down quite a bit. the expectation is that it could creep back up when we get the figure of what it was in august. partly driven by the increase in the price of petrol and diesel, you might have noticed that, oil has crept up in price since the start of the year. this week it was above £80 per barrel. another thing that could push average prices up is wiley, an increase in alcohol duty has put the price of wine up by 20%. that could put the average cost of goods and services higher. let's speak to one of the staff here, luke is sorting out the shelves before one —— the customers arrive, the manager here. rising prices, we have seen this 18 months, how is it affecting your shop? i months, how is it affecting your sho - ? ., months, how is it affecting your sho . ? ., ., months, how is it affecting your sho? ., ., shop? i would not say it has affected us _ shop? i would not say it has affected us too _ shop? i would not say it has affected us too much, i shop? i would not say it has| affected us too much, coffee shop? i would not say it has i affected us too much, coffee is shop? i would not say it has - affected us too much, coffee is part of your morning routine. i think what we are offering now is notjust

i think? it was a draw on their much anticipated champions league return. the showcase from manchester city showing that they could be in the final. yes, city going behind, but then scored three. so don't make city angry. there was that valuable point for newcastle on a special night for them. not such a good one for celtic though asjoe wilson reports. mike summerbee of manchester city past with the trophy the club now defends, and they lost the first half against red star belgrade. when the replays decided osman bukari was onside, he could fully celebrate. it's the modern way. city's second half response began with an exquisite finish from alvarez. rapid feet, even in slow motion. next, a blunderfrom red star's goalkeeper, the most popular glazer in manchester. the goalkeeper completely missed it! business as usual was

completed by rodri. he's some player, that's some finish. the complete footballer. here's what newcastle have been waiting for after two decades and saudi arabian millions, in milan against one of the most successful european teams there's ever been. here we go, rafael leao. ac milan found many ways not to score, this the most elaborate. after 9a minutes mainly defending, newcastle were here. could there be a chance? well, 0—0, a pointand a new experience, it will all help. celtic�*s evening in rotterdam featured two goals from feyenoord. here is the first. it also included two red cards. here's celtic�*s second. yeah, for that. part of the motivation for the manager's return was to make an impression on europe. well, brendan rodgers already has more to ponder. joe wilson, bbc news. after a tricky start to the season, manchester united go up against bayern munich tonight.

it was inevitable then we would hear from the england captain harry kane, who could have made the move from tottenham to united, had bayern not signed him in that big money deal at the end of the summer. this was his take on where united are currently. united, obviously they've been going through a bit of a tough spell recently, but sometimes it can be really dangerous because they're looking for a big response. and we need to be careful, we are at home, we want to dictate the game, we want to play the way we want to. but they have some threats as well that we really need to be careful of. no surprises to hear that england goalkeeper mary earps has been voted england's player of the year. just reward for those impressive performances at the recent world cup where she won the golen glove for best goalkeeper, helping guide the team to the final. she will be back in action for matches against scotland and the netherlands, not before millie bright gave her the award.

i think that defeats the object! no, not for me. not for you? no, it's a bit like a rough carpet, sorry. no worms, no bugs, which means no birds, which means nothing. so it's the worst of all worlds, basically. sales are down 66% since 2021, according to mybuilder.com. this trader, john, believes it's down from an artificial high during the pandemic. the product is here to stay, but he is noticing a shift. artificial grass is suddenly making people angry. but you're sensing a change amongst people. we put up a photograph of a nice garden, a before picture and after picture, it looks absolutely fantastic, the transformation is fantastic. and on the comments, not even a comment. red angry face, red angry face. you're surprised there is this emotional reaction to artificial grass? we know people have emotions and things like that, but give us a comment and we can have a bit of a debate. we can put our side across, you can put your side across, but red angry face, red angry

face, it's why? this man is at the heart of that debate. this is the balance between the critters... geese shriek 12 years ago, when professor ross cameron and the geese moved in, this space was a magnificently manicured real lawn. then he let nature take over. what do you get? lots of different butterflies. we've had marble whites here, we have a number of different dragonfly species, and it's the small mammals as well that brings in the bigger things. so the fox, the badger, the tawny owl, etc. so artificial grass, yay or nay? it's a nay, might be good for a sort of foot mat, but not much else. it kind of kills the wildlife underneath, the microbes in the soil, all that rich, organic stuff. we think that's good for our gut health and then good for our mental health. oh, somebody is enjoying the grass!

don't cover your garden with plastic. bugs are under threat. there's been around a 60% fall in insect numbers over the last 20 years. and while charities like bug life are urging people not to go fake... it is not a good alternative. it is creating a desert zone where bugs cannot live. ..the welsh environment minister is urging people to consider a swap with caution. you know, i don't have the power to ban artificial grass tomorrow morning and even if i did, i wouldn't. what we want to do is get people to understand what they're doing when they use products of that sort. convenience or catastrophe? campaigners want consumers to know that decisions have consequences. matthew scott, though, takes the need to connect to real grass so seriously, he has ditched his shoes. so you wear shoes for work? yes. that's pretty much it. pretty much, yeah, i couldn't get away with bare feet in the office, unfortunately.

so i go barefoot, funnily enough, on the school run, even though my kids hate me for it. grounding. according to advocates, it's the process of reconnecting and recharging via the earth's natural energy. just go outside, take your shoes off, stand on the grass, connection, and i'm sure you'll get benefit from it. not quite the same on plastic, apparently. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. i wonder what people think about that. �* . . . i wonder what people think about that. , ,,,, i wonder what people think about that. , ,,, that. it's a bit slippery on plastic- — that. it's a bit slippery on plastic. yes, _ that. it's a bit slippery on plastic. yes, if _ that. it's a bit slippery on plastic. yes, if it - that. it's a bit slippery on plastic. yes, if it is i that. it's a bit slippery on plastic. yes, if it is a i that. it's a bit slippery on plastic. yes, if it is a bit i that. it's a bit slippery on i plastic. yes, if it is a bit damp! at least the — plastic. yes, if it is a bit damp! at least the grasses _ plastic. yes, if it is a bit damp! at least the grasses looking i plastic. yes, if it is a bit damp! i at least the grasses looking green after all of the rain, the real grass! good morning. more rain to come over the next few days as well. and we will see some sunshine between the downpours. but will see some sunshine between the downours. �* . , , downpours. but at times it will be wind as downpours. but at times it will be windy as it — downpours. but at times it will be windy as it is _ downpours. but at times it will be windy as it is this _ downpours. but at times it will be windy as it is this morning. in i downpours. but at times it will be windy as it is this morning. in the| windy as it is this morning. in the last 2a hours, the wet spots have

beenin last 2a hours, the wet spots have been in the cambrian fells and snowdonia, almost half a month of rain falling snowdonia, almost half a month of rainfalling in snowdonia, almost half a month of rain falling in 2a—hour is. the rain filtering in the river system so some minorflooding, that might be possible, and there will be high winds across scotland. this is where the heaviest rain and strongest wind will be through this morning. let's focus on the south and west, we have rain becoming more persistent and heavy. into wales and northern england. gusts of wind across hills and coast, 50 to 60 miles an hour. breezy in the south and east, a few spots of rain to begin with. brightening up in northern ireland, the winds will strengthen as we go through this morning and into the afternoon. as we go through the day, the zone of bursts of heavy rain will work to the south and east, by the time we get to the end of the afternoon and evening rush hour.

skies will brighten elsewhere, heavy showers are possible but persistent rain in the north—west where winds will strengthen. feeling fresher later on with temperatures dropping through the afternoon but not cold at all, tonight will be fresher with rain clearing way from the south and east, wet and windy in the north—west of scotland. now, the stunning wainright peaks in the lake district may be beautiful but they're some of the most challenging to climb in the uk. these gorgeous shots are of wetherlam, one of 21a fells which make up the iconic peaks. the highest point is scafell pike which takes at least three or four hours to climb. steve harrison knows all about the fells. with just one kidney, he defied the odds to become the uk's first transplant patient to conquer them all. our reporter anne—marie tasker joined him for his final ascent. so over the years it

got worse and worse. even on dialysis, i kept going because i thought, well, i've got to do something because i felt if i sat still and didn't do anything, it kind of felt to me like i was giving up. so steve harrison from gainsborough in lincolnshire set himself a challenge to climb all of the lake district's 21a wainwright peaks with his wife, donna. steve was born with only one kidney, and it was steadily failing. did you think you were going to get to today and complete all 21a of them? no, no, definitely not. i know i was getting weaker, so i was thinking we'd only done 115 or something. ithought, well, basically got another 100 to go. i dropped down to seven stone. things that were standard for people was becoming really difficult, like getting up and down the stairs and had fingers crossed for a transplant really. team harrison. team harrison, come on. at the point of covid, when they stopped transportation,

we sorted out our wills, we sorted out, you know, all that sort of things. but at 37 i wasn't ready to say goodbye to my husband. facing kidney failure during the covid lockdown, steve had to learn to do dialysis at home. then in december 2020, the news a donor kidney had been found. since then, steve's carried on climbing and he thinks he's the first uk transplant patient to bag all 21a wainwright peaks. and his friends and family joined him as he reached the summit of his final climb. cheering. emotional, but it's a happy... yeah. kind of pinch yourself, can't actually believe i've done it emotion. just very grateful that everyone's

been here to see it today. when he was on dialysis firstly, and to then have the transplant thrown in there, yeah, it's absolutely astounding. the treatment is brutal, it's relentless. so without knowing what he was going into, to take on such a challenge is amazing. doing something like this- is a massive accomplishment post transplant and even not post transplant, just for- an average person. i think it's brilliant. i think he's done extremely well and i'm really pleased to be here. truly amazing. in more ways than i can possibly be thankful for for the donor, they really did change my life. he was born premature, so he's always been a fighter. so he weren't going to give up. he's gone from strength to strength. we just hope by doing this, no words can say thank you to the donor, but hopefully, if they're ever watching, we're making your son proud.

well done, steve, amazing. that was a report by anne—marie tasker. police officers are not turning up to deal with violent attacks on shop staff because the criminal has already fled. that's the claim from one coalition of businesses, which is calling for more action to deal with what it calls an "unprecedented" level of thefts. attacks like these have prompted the association of convenience stores to write to police and crime commissioners in england and wales, calling on forces to make it easier to pass on evidence, and boost efforts to find repeat and violent offenders. let's discuss this more now with the association's chris noice. good morning. how much is an issue right now, shoplifting? brute good morning. how much is an issue right now, shoplifting?— right now, shoplifting? we have never seen _

right now, shoplifting? we have never seen the _ right now, shoplifting? we have never seen the levels _ right now, shoplifting? we have never seen the levels that i right now, shoplifting? we have never seen the levels that we i right now, shoplifting? we have. never seen the levels that we are seeing now. it has been rising pretty steadily since 2021 whenever thing opened up since the pandemic and we are now seeing shoplifting at record levels, 1.1 million thefts across convenience stores last year and that is the tip of the iceberg because that is the number that are reported. we know that several million more incidents go under the radar. ., , . , ., radar. from the pictures we have seen, radar. from the pictures we have seen. clearly _ radar. from the pictures we have seen, clearly some _ radar. from the pictures we have seen, clearly some of— radar. from the pictures we have seen, clearly some of these i seen, clearly some of these incidents, this is notjust somebody putting something in their pocket, this is often violent and dangerous. unfortunately sometimes it doesn't start with someone putting something in their pocket and then coming back and doing that again, filling up a bag, and then when there is no intervention, they get more confident, they get more brazen and then eventually the shop staff all then eventually the shop staff all the retailers challenge them and say, you cannot keep doing this, or they get so confident they think they get so confident they think they can steal and be abusive and violent. it is a spiral when these incidents are not dealt with by the

police and responded to properly. i imagine shop workers are very frustrated by this. what are they saying to you, what are you hearing from them?— from them? retailers and shop workers alike _ from them? retailers and shop workers alike are _ from them? retailers and shop workers alike are dealing i from them? retailers and shop workers alike are dealing with i from them? retailers and shop i workers alike are dealing with this on a daily basis. they typically have very good evidence in these kind of things occur, we havejust seen some cctv, 95% of retailers having cctv in their stores. lots will have body worn cameras. they have a wealth of evidence. what we are worried about is that this evidence is not being taken into account by the police, especially for shop theft and violent incidents. we don't want to see these incidents reduce to a crime number. they need to be investigated and dealt with to take the most prolific offenders off the streets. what stories are you hearing about police reaction to an incident? for violent police reaction to an incident? fr?" violent and abusive incidents, we hear two things, either the retailer

is asked to keep the person in the store until the police arrive which is not practical and would escalate the situation severely. or if the person has already left, it gets de—prioritised and it does not require the attendance of the police. then the evidence is not captured and nothing happens. i think retailers arejust captured and nothing happens. i think retailers are just frustrated with the way that resources are being allocated and we get it, resources are stretched, but we are all agreed that these are crimes and they need to be investigated and we need to take these people off the streets and served justice. the streets and served 'ustice. the associationh streets and served 'ustice. the association of i streets and served justice. the association of police and crime commissioners have said they had set “p commissioners have said they had set up a groupware specialist police intelligence analyst will work to provide information that local forces and businesses can use to prevent gangs and arrest offenders, so that is a positive step?

absolutely, that is a positive step. we have seen a lot of positive steps over the last couple of years. two or three years ago, less than half of all of the police and crime commissioners in england and wales even mentioned crimes against businesses in their local plans, now it is almost all of them. we are moving in the right direction but we want to see consistency from the police were the retailer can rely on the fact that they will give evidence and that will be used in an investigation. brute evidence and that will be used in an investigation-— investigation. we know that suella braverman the _ investigation. we know that suella braverman the home _ investigation. we know that suella braverman the home secretary, i investigation. we know that suella l braverman the home secretary, who will speak to later, said that she wants all police officers to investigate every theft that will happen, how confident are you that that will happen? l happen, how confident are you that that will happen?— that will happen? i think every theft is a bit — that will happen? i think every theft is a bit of— that will happen? i think every theft is a bit of a _ that will happen? i think every theft is a bit of a stretch - that will happen? i think every theft is a bit of a stretch but . that will happen? i think every| theft is a bit of a stretch but we know that the majority of thefts that do take place are committed by a very small number of people, repeat offenders which i —— are known to the communities and retailers. so no defender lists are

hello, and a very good morning. i'm alice salfield. the family of former mayor of london ken livingstone has announced he has alzheimer's disease. he became the first—ever mayor of london in 2000, serving for eight years. he earned praise for his response to the 2005 suicide bombings and for helping london win the 2012 olympics. but five years ago he resigned from the labour party over accusations of anti—semitism, which he denied. he's now 78 and his family say he's being "well cared for" in retirement. withjust over six months until the government's expansion of free childcare is rolled out, there's concern at some london nurseries that there aren't enough places to meet demand. from april next year, eligible working parents of two—year—olds will have access to 15 free hours a week. the government says, despite rising numbers of nurseries closing and staff leaving the profession, parents should feel reassured.

so i totally recognise that there have been pressures on staff and recruitment. that's why we're starting this big new campaign to recruit more people to the sector, to increase the money that's going into it, and i'm confident we'll be able to support that. junior doctors and consultants at london hospitals will both go on strike today, for the first time in the history of the nhs. government ministers have called the coordinated action "callous and calculated". the strikes mark an escalation in an ongoing dispute over pay. camden has become the first uk council to call for the crime of ecocide — environmental damage caused by deliberate or negligent action — to be recognised by international law. the council hope it will add weight to international calls to make it a criminal offence. let's take a look at the tubes now.

the metropolitan line has no service in either direction from chesham and amersham to rickmansworth, with severe delays on the rest of the line. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. it was very windy yesterday with gusts of wind across the capital of over 1t0 miles an hour at times. and the blustery theme is just set to continue throughout today. in fact, some gusts of wind today, that brisk south—westerly, could approach 50 miles an hour at times, especially ahead of and on the weather front that will give us quite a lot of rain through the afternoon. but it is a dry start to the morning, there is some early brightness out there, very mild too this morning. the wind is particularly strong through the morning and on the weather front as that rain just gradually pushes its way in from the west. and that will be with us through the afternoon. so turning wet for the second half of the day, temperatures 19 or 20 celsius, you won't notice them too much with the strength of the wind and of course that wet second half of the day. that rain will eventually

clear its way eastwards but it could pep up for a time overnight tonight perhaps. and it's a largely dry start to the day on thursday. thursday we will see some sunny spells but also some showers, the winds are lighter. coming in from the north—west so cooler feeling air from friday. that's it. there's plenty more on our website or the bbc news app. now it's back to sally and jon. bye— bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. will the prime minister put the brakes on banning petrol and diesel cars? he's considering watering—down climate change pledges, but insists he'll still reach net—zero by 2050. consultants and junior doctors in england havejust started their first everjoint strike — an unprecedented moment in the history of the nhs.

how much did inflation heat up in august? we get the latest figures in the next few minutes that tell us the next few minutes that tell us the change in prices for goods and services. i am at a coffee shop in nottingham and will explain what it means for your cost of living. in sport... a valuable point for newcastle on their long—awaited champions league return, whilst the holders manchester city score three. we'll have news on a dreadful night for celtic to come as well. plus, some windy conditions around today for much of the uk and some heavy rain. especially across england and wales. i will heavier full forecast details here on breakfast. —— i will the prime minister has confirmed he'll give details this week of plans to change some of the government's key green policies — which could include watering down some environmental pledges. mr sunak has insisted he's committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050, but in what he's called "a more proportionate way". 0ur political editor, chris mason, has more details.

within the conservative party in recent months, a fuming row, a cost—of—living squeeze, but extra costs feared for families to meet green targets. long—term promises, short—term political pressures. and then this moment. 13,965. cheering. in the london suburbs, a tory by—election win this summer when many expected defeat. and the key issue, a costly clampdown on dirty vehicles imposed by the capital's labour mayor — an idea the conservatives opposed. cutting carbon matters, the prime minister has long argued — but a balance has to be struck. i'm committed to net zero. of course i am. but we're going to do that in a pragmatic and a proportionate way without unnecessarily adding costs and burdens to families, particularly at a time like now, when the cost of living is a challenge for people with inflation where it is.

in new york this week, as world leaders gather at the united nations, intense debate, too, about climate change and what to do about it. among those there, this conservative mp — who led a review into the government's approach to net zero. this is going to be an economic disaster. actually, we are missing out already. we see the united states — where i am here at new york climate week — actually turbo—charging their efforts towards a green industrial revolution. why do we want to fall behind? did your heart sink when you heard about this? we still have, you know, a couple of hours and days in which maybe the prime minister might want to change his mind. well, thank you very much. but some conservatives and others have long campaigned forjust this kind of policy shift. as many other western countries are already doing, delay implementing net—zero commitments — such as the ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles from 2030.

this is an absolute farce. this is absolutely noi way to run a country. late—night policy statements - from the downing street bunker — as ever, driven by the absolute - chaos within the conservative party with a weak conservative - prime minister, rishi sunak. but there was no commitment from labour to restore any targets that are dropped. a leak within government, and a huge row boiling over — more than ever. let's get the latest on this now from our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. from our chief political morning, from our chief political henry. confirmation that the morning, henry. confirmation that the prime minister will change some of those key policies but it is proving highly controversial. look, there is a political— proving highly controversial. look, there is a political row— proving highly controversial. look, there is a political row here but. there is a political row here but let's first do not lose sight of the fact that some of the policy measures under consideration in rishi sunak�*s team are very significant. let's take, for example, the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars. for some time, we have known that that ban

would come into force in 2030. it sounds like that year is likely to become 2035. that is a big shift for consumers and also of course for businesses, car manufacturers, and associated businesses. similarly, with gas boilers. we have known those were going to be phased out in 2035. it now sounds like that year might shift a bit or perhaps it will be a softer, more gradual phase—out. but yes, absolutely there is going to be a big political row here. rishi sunak in a very unusual statement last night confirmed there will be a speech on this topic this week and he said that he would be honest with the british people about the trade—offs involved in hitting the trade—offs involved in hitting the net zero legal commitment by 2050. by implication here is then saying that some governments, successive governments, some of them conservative, have been dishonest with the british people. that is quite a significant admission,

intervention, claim, and quite a significant shift in policy. but when you come to the conservative party, there has been a debate raging among its ranks for some time about how to deal with net zero, how to deliver on net zero, and it looks like rishi sunak is picking a side. henry, thanks very much indeed. here isjon with the rest of the news. in the last few minutes, junior doctors in england havejoined consultants on the picket line, as both go on strike together — for the first time in the history of the nhs. it's part of a long—running dispute about pay and conditions. 0ur health correspondent sharon barbourjoins us now. historical moment in industrial action, what is the impact for patients potentially? an patients potentially? in extraordinary day for the nhs. absolutely historic as junior doctors and their seniors, the

consultants who take the lead, tell the junior doctors what to do, all walking out today. we haven't got anyone on the picket line so far, they arejust anyone on the picket line so far, they are just starting to come out of hospitals or arrive to the picket lines right across england. 0f lines right across england. of course this strike only impacting england. what is the impact on patients? i spoke to some staff and they said this hospital is absolutely full, so what will happen? consultants, there will be a bit of cover on the wards, overseeing. the nurses of course either and there will be emergency care and if you have an emergency, of course you should still go to accident and emergency or dial 999 and you will be seen. it will be like christmas day except it won't be just one christmas day. putting enormous pressure on the hospitals, they have been planning for this for weeks but of course hospital bosses have been warning about this unprecedented action and saying that

it is getting less and less safe and they are saying to ministers, you perhaps don't realise how unsafe it is becoming. of course this is over pay, also over the independent review body, the group that decides pay, the consultants yesterday saying they wanted their independence restored. back to you. i told you it was busy this morning. in the last few minutes we've had the latest uk inflation figures. ben is in nottingham for us this morning, and can tell us more. ben. what are the numbers? well, it's a surprise _ ben. what are the numbers? well, it's a surprise at _ ben. what are the numbers? well, it's a surprise at this _ ben. what are the numbers? well, it's a surprise at this time - ben. what are the numbers? sjj it's a surprise at this time around because inflation dropped to 6.7% in august. many economists had been expecting to see it rise. just to remind you, inflation is the change in the cost of all sorts of average goods and services that we spend our money on and it measures how much

they changed in august compared with a year earlier. if you spend £100 and a range of things last august, those same things on average this august will have cost you £106.70. it has come down slightly from where it was injuly, when it was 6.8%, and it is coming down from that peak that it hit last october of 11.1%. i say this every time, it is important to remember it is an average change in the price of goods and services. of course that means some things will not have gone up as much, some will not have gone up as much, some will have gone up even more than that. notably people will have noticed petrol and diesel have gone up noticed petrol and diesel have gone up more sharply. a key one, the food. we have the prices on the board here, prices for the pastries in nottingham, but all sorts of food and drink have gone up by an average of 13.6% in august so food inflation still well above the price rises for

everything else in the economy. that figure for august of 6.7% is still way above the target the bank of england waits to see of 2%, the sign of a healthy economy. it is still way above that target so when the bank of england makes its decision on interest rates tomorrow, it will be factoring in the figure from today in deciding whether to put interest rates further. because this figure is still above the target, it may mean we see interest rates go up again. that makes mortgages, loans, credit cards more expensive. a worrying time for many, especially as figures suggest half a million households will come to the end of their fixed households will come to the end of theirfixed rate mortgage deals households will come to the end of their fixed rate mortgage deals at or around christmas, and because of those interest rates going up comic they could see their monthly payments jumped they could see their monthly paymentsjumped by they could see their monthly payments jumped by several hundred pounds. that is why today's figure is so important.— is so important. thank you for explaining _ is so important. thank you for explaining that. _ is so important. thank you for explaining that. back - is so important. thank you for explaining that. back with - is so important. thank you for| explaining that. back with ben is so important. thank you for - explaining that. back with ben later in the programme. the tech firm meta — which owns facebook — has hit back at a new government

campaign which criticises its plans to encrypt messages by the end of the year. the home secretary suella braverman has warned that hundreds of child abusers could escape punishment in the uk, if the company makes its messaging services completely private. meta says it has developed "robust" safety measures. and we'll be talking to the home secretary suella braverman at 7:30. millions of low—income households will receive their next cost of living payment soon, the government has announced. £300 will be paid to eligible people between the 31st of october and the 19th of november. it's the second of three instalments. the king and queen are beginning a three—day state visit to france. the trip was postponed in march because of protests against planned pension reforms.the royal couple will visit paris and bordeaux. hugh schofield sent this report from the french capital. a sumptuous chateau built for a one—time enemy of england — louis xiv.

tonight, in its hall of mirrors, the setting for a state banquet in which king charles and queen camilla are the honoured guests. the palace and the gardens are looking their very best. france may no longer be a monarchy, but under emmanuel macron they like to do things in style. state visits are symbolic occasions, but nonetheless important for all that. and here in versailles, the message is clear — that, despite all the dissensions of recent times over brexit and other matters, the historic alliance between britain and france — two countries that are so close in so many ways — is solid and unchanged. the king and the president have met before, here at a ceremony in london in 2020. and the king is no stranger to france — he's visited dozens of times over the years in private and official capacities. and like his mother, the late queen, he's comfortable in the language. he speaks french. though, of course, one link

is a sad and tragic one. in august 1997, he travelled to paris to accompany back the body of his former wife, princess diana, after she died in the car crash. for france's top royal watcher, stephane bern — who's met king charles several times — the trip will once again reveal the latent monarchism that he says lies inside many french people. we love england, we love the united kingdom. in general, people love the british royal family. we know everything about them. we love them. we love the queen. we want to show king charles and queen camilla that we love them, too. back in march, certain local difficulties — protests over raising the pension age — caused the royal visit to be postponed at the last minute. no such problems expected this time round — with a schedule that includes the reconstruction work at notre—dame cathedral devastated in the fire of 2019.

there'll be an address to parliamentarians in the historic senate, and on friday the royal couple are in the south west city of bordeaux. and to start things off later today, a ceremony at the arc de triomphe and the tomb of the unknown soldier — a reminder of the shared sacrifices of the last century of these two allied nations. hugh schofield, bbc news, paris. the former mayor of london, ken livingstone, has been diagnosed with alzheimer's. the 78—year—old was a prominent figure in london politics for more than four decades from the 1970s. he was elected as the first mayor of london and held that role for eight years from 2000. in a statement, his family said he was being "well cared for". an ambulance worker who was saved by his patient and a nurse after he suffered a cardiac arrest has thanked them for giving him "another chance in life". shaun mcbride suddenly collapsed while he was preparing to take 72—year—old

tommy stewart to hospital. mr stewart — who is an amputee — was strapped into the vehicle but was able to call for help. nurse freya smith—nicol then performed cpr until an ambulance arrived. another ambulance arrived! all is well that ends well, another happy reunion on bbc breakfast. find well that ends well, another happy reunion on bbc breakfast. and saying thank ou reunion on bbc breakfast. and saying thank you to — reunion on bbc breakfast. and saying thank you to each _ reunion on bbc breakfast. and saying thank you to each other— reunion on bbc breakfast. and saying thank you to each other at _ reunion on bbc breakfast. and saying thank you to each other at that - thank you to each other at that point. thank you to each other at that oint. ., , ., thank you to each other at that point-_ time i thank you to each other at that j point._ time to thank you to each other at that i point._ time to go thank you to each other at that - point._ time to go to point. lovely moment. time to go to matt, who point. lovely moment. time to go to matt. who is — point. lovely moment. time to go to matt. who is going — point. lovely moment. time to go to matt, who is going to _ point. lovely moment. time to go to matt, who is going to predict - point. lovely moment. time to go to matt, who is going to predict some l matt, who is going to predict some rather stormy weather by the looks of things. it already is, pretty windy out there — it already is, pretty windy out there across western parts of england _ there across western parts of england and wales once again. but it isn't a _ england and wales once again. but it isn't a cold _ england and wales once again. but it isn't a cold start. we have temperatures levels they should be an september afternoon, never mind after a _ an september afternoon, never mind after a long _ an september afternoon, never mind after a long night. a bit fresher in the north— after a long night. a bit fresher in the north of— after a long night. a bit fresher in the north of scotland but here are

these net zero commitments. what is your initial reaction to what we have heard?— your initial reaction to what we have heard? ~ , , . . have heard? well, it is 'ust classic rishi sunak * have heard? well, it is 'ust classic rishi sunak chaos, _ have heard? well, it isjust classic rishi sunak chaos, isn't _ have heard? well, it isjust classic rishi sunak chaos, isn't it? - have heard? well, it isjust classic rishi sunak chaos, isn't it? the i rishi sunak chaos, isn't it? the government is not being led well. ministers did not seem to know about these egregious u—turns in government policy. the conservative party is out of control with tory mps being furious over night and some calling for rishi sunak to go. but most importantly this is more at risk for the british economy and british business. these targets are important to the british businesses know how to invest in workforce and factories. government has been signing off hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayer subsidy to help businesses get ready for the long held changes and now rishi sunak is you turning via leaks and midnight statements from the bunker at downing street, not how you run a country. b. downing street, not how you run a count . �* ., ., ., country. a few weeks ago labour announced _ country. a few weeks ago labour announced you _ country. a few weeks ago labour announced you were _ country. a few weeks ago labour announced you were you - country. a few weeks ago labour announced you were you turning | country. a few weeks ago labour i announced you were you turning -- announced you were you turning —— you where u—turning and your

as our climate change commitments. our labour business secretary janet reynolds says we can, we could come from his conversations with businesses and workers across the country, they know that reaching net zero is an important part of our approach notjust to tackling climate change but to make sure our economy is fit for the future, this is about securing jobs, good pay, as the world transitioned to tackling climate change. that is the labour party listening to british people and the british economy and the conservatives are refusing to listen. theirfingers conservatives are refusing to listen. their fingers are conservatives are refusing to listen. theirfingers are in conservatives are refusing to listen. their fingers are in their ears and they are in chaos in the bunker in downing street. you ears and they are in chaos in the bunker in downing street. you say it is not a u-turn _ bunker in downing street. you say it is not a u-turn on _ bunker in downing street. you say it is not a u-turn on your _ bunker in downing street. you say it is not a u-turn on your own - bunker in downing street. you say it is not a u-turn on your own green i is not a u—turn on your own green prosperity plan but you have made changes, changed your environment policy, you will concede. do you think you will have to tweak further your plans to show that you are listening to people who are really concerned about paying for net zero? as we prepare for the next election of course we will provide more detail on how our policies will work in government but that is what

there has been a long held cross—party consensus on these measures which was important for business. that is why we have seen conservatives signing off taxpayer subsidies for businesses to get ready. why would you agree to sign off hundreds of millions of pounds off hundreds of millions of pounds of subsidy for business to hit these targets, only last week, and ben this week come out you are —— and say you are changing the targets? it is chaotic, the prime minister is too weak to run the country, his party. the sooner we have a general election so we can save these problems —— fixes problems the better. problems -- fixes problems the better. ., ., ., , problems -- fixes problems the better. ., ., better. inflation has eased slithtl . better. inflation has eased slightly- i— better. inflation has eased slightly. i suppose - better. inflation has eased slightly. i suppose the i better. inflation has eased - slightly. i suppose the government will say its economic plan is working. will say its economic plan is workint. ., ., will say its economic plan is working-— will say its economic plan is workint. ., ., ., ., ~j~ working. inflation has gone from 6.8 to 6.7% working. inflation has gone from 6.8 to 6-7% and — working. inflation has gone from 6.8 to 6-7% and a _ working. inflation has gone from 6.8 to 6.7% and a 0.1%_ working. inflation has gone from 6.8 to 6.7% and a 0.1% decline - working. inflation has gone from 6.8 to 6.7% and a 0.1% decline in - working. inflation has gone from 6.8 to 6.796 and a 0.196 decline in the i to 6.7% and a 0.1% decline in the increasing rate of prices will mean very little to families across the country that can't afford to pay their bills. our assessment and the labour party is that on average bills have increased by around £400 a month because of the price of

petrol, energy, food and other things we have to buy a day in, day out. a 0.1% change in the headline rate of inflation is nowhere near the action we need to see on this government and not delivering on the promise from rishi sunak that he was going to have inflation and ease the cost of living for families. darren jones, thank you. let's turn our attention to birmingham city council now — where the government is sending in officials to run the effectively bankrupt authority. the levelling up secretary michael gove told the commons yesterday, that senior leadership figures at the labour—run council had "harmed the city". let's hear what he had to say. birmingham city council has not served the citizens of that great city as it should have. for years now, the city has suffered as the council has failed to grip under— performance. poor leadership, weak governance, woeful mismanagement of employee relations, and ineffective service delivery have harmed the city. when failures in local government occur, we must act. as we devolve more power to local government overall, so we must demand sharper accountability, and the need for

action in birmingham is pressing. so what decisions could be made to try to get the city back on a stable financial footing? kathryn stanczyszyn has this report. a big city with a big problem. after birmingham city council declared itself effectively bankrupt, the government has said it's no longer fit to run its own affairs, and is taking over. people who live here are wondering what that means for them. the community association that runs this parent—and—toddler group currently receives council funding, but is worried that's now at risk. we've supported local residents with warm spaces over the cost—of—living crisis — food hampers, things like that. a lot of that has been funded through council initiatives. cost of living is still going to be an issue for people. with less resources in the council, actually local residents are going to be hit really hard. jade lives in a council house with her daughter and disabled mum. she says the city is already in decline. you could see how it's sort of gone downhill, if you like,

over a period of time. like, they try and sort of make it better and stuff like that, but you can see that we are struggling as a city. spiralling financial problems at birmingham city council have only come to light publicly in recent months — when it was revealed new equal—pay claims will reach at least £760 million. the situation's made worse by a bill for a botched it system. an inquiry will look into what's happened, but commissioners are being brought in urgently. clearly, we have challenges here in birmingham that we need to address — not least stabilising the finances of this council and delivering the decent services that the people of this city need and deserve. and that's what we'll be working with them to do. the likely outcomes — services cut, council tax going up, and assets sold off. the biggest council in europe is down. you know, there's over. a million people living just in this inner city...

yeah. ..who are expecting better. from their people they voted for than they're getting now. last summer's commonwealth games were supposed to hail a golden decade for birmingham. instead, it's left with uncertainty and some difficult decisions. let's get more on this now with stuart hoddinott from the institute for government. good morning. we have heard from the report there what the situation is, but what impact is this going to have on people who have deliver pay their taxes and live in birmingham? it will be almost certainly quite severe for some people. they will now look to try to find savings to close that gap. they will look at all the services they provide, trying to find where they can make cuts, and they will be butting up against their statutory duties, the services they have a legal obligation to provide. things like adults and children's social care and some library services. but they will be making cuts to things like,

potentially, park spaces, libraries, museums, potentially road maintenance to try to bridge that gap they have. i maintenance to try to bridge that gap they have-— maintenance to try to bridge that gap they have. i some things they are not allowed _ gap they have. i some things they are not allowed to _ gap they have. i some things they are not allowed to cut, _ gap they have. i some things they are not allowed to cut, that i gap they have. i some things they are not allowed to cut, that they l are not allowed to cut, that they have to keep providing?- are not allowed to cut, that they have to keep providing? there are those statutory _ have to keep providing? there are those statutory responsibilities i those statutory responsibilities they have, in particular the biggest pressures will come from and children's social care. even there, they will be able to find some stability, likely, to try to make cuts but ultimately they do have to provide some services. what cuts but ultimately they do have to provide some services.— provide some services. what steps could an appointed _ provide some services. what steps could an appointed commissioner. provide some services. what steps i could an appointed commissioner take to try to balance the books, try to shift things around?— shift things around? they will be lookin: shift things around? they will be looking into _ shift things around? they will be looking into different _ shift things around? they will be looking into different savings, i looking into different savings, thinking about savings in and around it way than the council themselves. they will look at jobs within the council, thinking there can be savings made from getting rid of jobs, sadly. they will also be looking if it is possible to try to sell some of birmingham's assets to try to bridge the gap. what sell some of birmingham's assets to try to bridge the gap.— try to bridge the gap. what would that be? all _ try to bridge the gap. what would that be? all local— try to bridge the gap. what would that be? all local authorities i try to bridge the gap. what would j that be? all local authorities have some assets _ that be? all local authorities have some assets that _ that be? all local authorities have some assets that they _ that be? all local authorities have some assets that they own, i that be? all local authorities have

hello and a very good morning. i'm alice salfield. the family of former mayor of london, ken livingstone, has announced he has alzheimer's disease. he became the first ever mayor of london in 2000, serving for eight years. he earned praise for his response to the 2005 suicide bombings and for helping london win the 2012 olympics. but five years ago he resigned from the labour party over accusations of anti—semitism, which he denied. he's now 78 and his family say he's being "well cared for" in retirement. withjust over six months until the government's expansion of free childcare is rolled out, there's concern at some london nurseries that there aren't enough places to meet demand. from april next year eligible working parents of two—year—olds will have access to 15 free hours a week. the government says despite rising numbers of nurseries closing and staff leaving the profession parents should feel reassured. so i totally recognise

that there have been pressures on staff and recruitment. that's why we're starting this big new campaign to recruit more people to the sector, to increase the money that's going into it, and i'm confident we'll be able to support that. two men and a woman have been arrested in connection with a fire in a 15—storey block of flats in kilburn on monday evening. no—one was hurt but the building in kilburn square was evacuated and it took 60 firefighters around 90 minutes to bring the fire under control. camden has become the first uk council to call for the crime of ecocide, environmental damage caused by deliberate or negligent action, to be recognised by international law. the council hope it will add weight to international calls to make it a criminal offence. let's take a look at the tubes now. a few problems this morning. severe delays on the central, circle and hammersmith and city lines. and the metropolitan line has no service in either direction from chesham and amersham

to rickmansworth with severe delays on the rest of the line. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. it was very windy yesterday with gusts of wind across the capital of over 40 miles an hour at times. and the blustery theme is just set to continue throughout today. in fact, some gusts of wind today, that brisk south—westerly, could approach 50 miles an hour at times, especially ahead of and on the weather front that will give us quite a lot of rain through the afternoon. but it is a dry start to the morning, there is some early brightness out there, very mild too this morning. the wind is particularly strong through the morning and on the weather front as that rain just gradually pushes its way in from the west. and that will be with us through the afternoon. so turning wet for the second half of the day, temperatures 19 or 20 celsius, you won't notice them too much with the strength of the wind and of course that wet second half of the day. that rain will eventually clear its way eastwards but it could pep up for a time overnight tonight perhaps. and it's a largely dry start

to the day on thursday. thursday we will see some sunny spells but also some showers, the winds are lighter. coming in from the north—west so cooler feeling air from friday. there's plenty more on our website or the bbc news app. back to sally and jon. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. let's go back to our top story now and as we've been hearing rishi sunak is considering weakening some of the government's key green commitments. we'rejoined now by the home secretary suella braverman. i know you want to talk about online safety and we will get onto that in a moment but first i want to ask you about your government's net zero commitments. we had a statement last night which was a bit vague, can you clarify the situation for us? t’m clarify the situation for us? i'm sure ou

clarify the situation for us? i'm sure you would _ clarify the situation for us? t�*"n sure you would not expect me as home secretary to pre—empt the detail that the prime minister will be announcing later this week in a speech on the subject but what i can say is that we remain absolutely committed to delivering net zero by 2050 in line with our international agreements. 2050 in line with our international agreements-— 2050 in line with our international atreements. , ,, agreements. ok, so rishi sunak said last nitht agreements. ok, so rishi sunak said last night that _ agreements. ok, so rishi sunak said last night that he _ agreements. ok, so rishi sunak said last night that he would _ agreements. ok, so rishi sunak said last night that he would be _ agreements. ok, so rishi sunak said last night that he would be honest i last night that he would be honest about the costs and trade—offs of net zero, so does that mean that borisjohnson, who came up with many of these commitments, was not honest? ., ., ., , , ., honest? no, what it means is that the prime minister _ honest? no, what it means is that the prime minister is _ honest? no, what it means is that the prime minister is taking i honest? no, what it means is that the prime minister is taking an i the prime minister is taking an approach of pragmatism and proportionality when it comes to delivering our net zero commitments. it's right that he assesses the issue as a whole, taking into account people's bank balances, livelihoods, the way that they are living their lives and the cost of living their lives and the cost of living challenges that many families around the country are facing. and ultimately were not going to save the country by bankrupting the

british people. you the country by bankrupting the british people.— british people. you are in the cabinet that _ british people. you are in the cabinet that the _ british people. you are in the cabinet that the time - british people. you are in the cabinet that the time that. british people. you are in the l cabinet that the time that boris johnson made this commitment, what did you feel about them and what you feel now? t did you feel about them and what you feel now? . ., feel now? i commend the prime ministerfor— feel now? i commend the prime minister for making _ feel now? i commend the prime minister for making difficult i minister for making difficult decisions in the long—term interest of the economy and the british people. putting livelihoods first, putting challenges that we are facing first, and taking ultimately a proportionate approach. i'm incredibly proud of what the conservative administration over the last ten years has achieved when it comes to the environment, whether thatis comes to the environment, whether that is reducing carbon emissions by 50% since the 1990s or whether it is increasing the output from renewable sources by fourfold. those are great achievements, we are a global leader when it comes to setting the gold standard on the environment. and that commitment remains unnamed. you soke a that commitment remains unnamed. you spoke a few weeks ago, in july, spoke a few weeks ago, injuly, about the need to suspend the all—consuming desire to achieve net

the not—too—distant future, shall we say. do you think this is a short term political gain that might in fact damage the prospect of children and young people watching the programme this morning? hat and young people watching the programme this morning? not at all. i actually think— programme this morning? not at all. i actually think this _ programme this morning? not at all. i actually think this is _ programme this morning? not at all. i actually think this is about - programme this morning? not at all. i actually think this is about the i i actually think this is about the long term. this is about ensuring sustainability over the long term, ensuring that personal bank balances are not harmed, that household incomes are not burdened, and that ultimately we take everybody with us on this long—term journey. this is a goal that we are all committed to but we need to get there in a steady way, in a cost—effective way, in a proportionate way. t way, in a cost-effective way, in a proportionate way.— way, in a cost-effective way, in a proportionate way. i know you want to talk about _ proportionate way. i know you want to talk about meta _ proportionate way. i know you want to talk about meta this _ proportionate way. i know you want to talk about meta this morning, i to talk about meta this morning, what are you asking meta to do with regards to end encryption and private messaging on that platform? if i may, i would like to set out a sense of crisis about the risk that we are currently facing. when it comes to online child sexual abuse. i have met victims and survivors of

this heinous crime. i have seen how devastating it can be for them and their families devastating it can be for them and theirfamilies and for devastating it can be for them and their families and for parents all around the country, we need to be alive to the increasing risks that our children face online. being on social media is part of our lives, but unfortunately, forum like facebook messenger and instagram direct are the fora of choice of online paedophiles. we are arresting 800 perpetrators a month, safeguarding about 1200 children a month from this evil crime and what we are seeing is an increasing trend of perpetrators, paedophiles identifying and seeking out children online, grooming them, gaining their trust and duping them into performing sexual acts, indecent acts, pornographic acts online,

capturing that, filming it, sharing it and fundamentally abusing them. and we also know most worryingly that there is a very high correlation and connection between those who are predators online and then those who go on to commit physical and in—person child sexual abuse, about 80% of online child sexual abusers also commit in—person contact physical abuse. so this is around our country, in our communities, it doesn'tjust affect other people's children, this affects all strata of society. and michael 22 is to work with us more constructively to out —— and my call to meta is to work with us more constructively and roll out safety measures because what they are proposing at the moment will make instagram direct and facebook safe havens for paedophiles. the instagram direct and facebook safe havens for paedophiles.— havens for paedophiles. the online safe bill havens for paedophiles. the online safety bill passed _ havens for paedophiles. the online safety bill passed through - havens for paedophiles. the online safety bill passed through the i havens for paedophiles. the online | safety bill passed through the lords yesterday. if his much lauded bill protects children in the way it is

industry leaders, internet watch foundation and the nspcc all agree that there is a technological solution to be rolled out more broadly which protects children online and i am calling on meta to work with us constructively to roll out that in technology so that children are not exposed and exploited and abused online. hagar exploited and abused online. how frustrating is _ exploited and abused online. how frustrating is it _ exploited and abused online. how frustrating is it that this piece of legislation that has been worked on for a long time has gone through and we still have to approach a company like meta and ask for their help? ides like meta and ask for their help? as i like meta and ask for their help? is i said, my focus is on like meta and ask for their help? sis i said, my focus is on working constructively first and foremost. but ultimately protecting children online. we now have a powers can contained in this new legislation that enables us, via ofcom, the regulator, to make companies take steps. but i would far rather work constructively, we welcome them in our lives, iam pro

constructively, we welcome them in our lives, i am pro encryption and privacy and i believe that there is a middle ground can be achieved, there are a common solution that we can both embrace which meets my objective is to keep children safe online but also meets meta's objective is to enable them to carry out their commercial activities. home secretary suella braverman, thank you. john has the sport for us. all of the newcastle _ john has the sport for us. all of the newcastle fans _ john has the sport for us. all of the newcastle fans making i john has the sport for us. all of the newcastle fans making the| john has the sport for us. all of the newcastle fans making the return journey from milan where they were. they will be quite happy? thea;r they will be quite happy? they didn't lose _ they will be quite happy? they didn't lose which _ they will be quite happy? they didn't lose which is _ they will be quite happy? they didn't lose which is the - they will be quite happy? they didn't lose which is the big thing. and they have waited a long time. yesi _ and they have waited a long time. yes. their— and they have waited a long time. yes, their champions league campaign is up and running with a valuable point. three british sides in action. we'll start with newcastle after 20 years away from the big time. the fans revelling in their return. the players enjoying that famous champions league music that's played before kick off. newcastle though didn't actually have a shot on target until the 95th minute in milan. they didn't lose though in what was

a hard fought goalless draw. imagine the scenes if that had gone in! here's what the fans made of it. we would take a point beforehand. roll onto the next home game against psg, and hopefully get a win against them. i think we're very lucky to be honest. i'm over the moon, coming all this way and it was the right result. and the crowd has been absolutely amazing, couldn't fault them. i thought we sort of grew into the game a little bit. funny, i actually thought the first ten minutes we started quite well and then sort of the next 20, they went off. but a lot of it was either us giving the ball away or us giving them a chance to sort of counterattack. but the second half, we have done a much betterjob of looking on, a much betterjob of locking on, pressing and making it a lot harderfor them. and obviously we didn't quite have enough going for it i would say tonight but i think it's more, not nothing to fear but definitely more than good enough

to play at this level. they are still smiling, it was a special night. don't get manchester city angry, i think that was the takeout from their 3—1 win over red star belgrade. the holders dominated as you might expect, after the video assistant referee had a look at it. city weren't happy about that, they went on to score three, 3—1 it finished, julian alvarez with two of them. a night to forget for celtic who slipped to a 2—0 defeat and had two players sent off against feyenord in rotterdam. there were in it before calvin stengs delivered a killer blow right before half—time, beating joe hart from distance. the second—half saw celtic reduced to nine men before they sealed all three points in the second half. interesting to hear from the england captain harry kane, now of bayern munich of course. his side face manchester united tonight, who've had a dificult start to the season.

had things turned out differently he might have moved to united. united, obviously they've been going through a bit of a tough spell recently, but sometimes it can be really dangerous because they're looking for a big response. and we need to be careful, we are at home, we want to dictate the game, we want to play the way we want to. but they have some threats as well that we really need to be careful of. not a 20 year absence from the champions league for arsenal, just the six years away for mikel arteta's side. it's psv eindhoven for them later and their manager is revelling being back in the competition. every time that i watched it and we weren't there, i felt it. i think you put pressure on yourself, you know. this club has to win the champions league. and when i have the job that i had, i had a responsibility to try to bring the club to the biggest stages, the biggest tournament. and then be fighting for them. and it was a process

but we are here and now we have to make the most out of it. and always enetertaining when a goalkeeper scores. keep your eyes on the fella in yellow, the lazio goalkeeper, up he comes to score with a header against atletico madrid, to earn a draw. the funniest thing, keepers never know where to run! do you celebrate in front of the fans or get straight back to the goal in fear of conceding one? that is tacit, goal in fear of conceding one? that is tacit. you — goal in fear of conceding one? that is tacit, you cannot _ goal in fear of conceding one? that is tacit, you cannot criticise him for the elevation, but where do i go home? —— that is fantastic, you cannot criticise him for his celebration, but where do i go? it celebration, but where do i go? it must be nice to get through sport without match interfering! goad without match interfering! good mornint , without match interfering! good morning. matt! _ without match interfering! good morning, matt! safely - without match interfering! good morning, matt! safely in - without match interfering! good morning, matt! safely in my i without match interfering! good| morning, matt! safely in my box without match interfering! good i morning, matt! safely in my box this mornin , morning, matt! safely in my box this morning. well— morning, matt! safely in my box this morning, well away _ morning, matt! safely in my box this morning, well away from _ morning, matt! safely in my box this

everyone! good morning, i'm alice salfield. the family of former mayor of london ken livingstone has announced he has alzheimer's disease. he became the first mayor of london in 2000, serving for eight years. he's now 78 and his family say he's being "well cared for". withjust over six months until the government's expansion of free childcare is rolled out, there's concern at some london nurseries that there aren't enough places to meet demand. from april next year eligible working parents of two—year—olds will have access to 15 free hours a week. the government says, despite rising numbers of nurseries closing and staff leaving the profession, parent's should feel reassured. so i totally recognise that there have been pressures on staff and recruitment. that's why we're starting this big new campaign to recruit more people to the sector, to increase the money that's going into it, and i'm confident we'll be able to support that. let's take a look at the tubes now.

the metropolitan line has no service between chalfont and chesham, with severe delays on the rest of the line. today's weather — starting off with some cloud, sunny spells and the odd light shower. in the afternoon, thick cloud and a band of heavy rain. a top temperature of 21 celsius. that's it — there's plenty more on our website or the bbc news app. i'll see you in half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. will the prime minister put the brakes on banning petrol and diesel cars? he's considering watering—down climate change pledges, but insists he'll still reach net—zero by 2050. consultants and junior doctors in england started their first ever joint strike just one hour ago — an unprecedented moment in the history of the nhs. in sport... the holders up and running. did manchester city show us why they could be favourites to lift the champions league title again? the plastic lawn backlash — we'll find out why sales of fake grass are falling.

and the rain is bouncing off at some of the lawns this morning. heavy rain working eastwards across england and wales today. like yesterday, still pretty windy. the full forecast details coming up on breakfast. the prime minister has confirmed he'll give details this week of plans to change some of the government's key green policies — which could include watering down some environmental pledges. mr sunak has insisted he's committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050, but in what he's called "a more proportionate way". our political editor, chris mason, has more details. within the conservative party in recent months, a fuming row — a cost—of—living squeeze, but extra costs feared for families to meet green targets. long—term promises, short—term political pressures. and then this moment.

13,965. cheering. in the london suburbs, a tory by—election win this summer when many expected defeat. and the key issue, a costly clampdown on dirty vehicles imposed by the capital's labour mayor — an idea the conservatives opposed. cutting carbon matters, the prime minister has long argued — but a balance has to be struck. i'm committed to net zero. of course i am. but we're going to do that in a pragmatic and a proportionate way without unnecessarily adding costs and burdens to families, particularly at a time like now, when the cost of living is a challenge for people with inflation where it is. in new york this week, as world leaders gather at the united nations, intense debate, too, about climate change and what to do about it. among those there, this conservative mp — who led a review into the government's approach to net zero. this is going to be an economic disaster.

actually, we are missing out already. we see the united states — where i am here at new york climate week — actually turbo—charging their efforts towards a green industrial revolution. why do we want to fall behind? did your heart sink when you heard about this? we still have, you know, a couple of hours and days in which maybe the prime minister might want to change his mind. well, thank you very much. but some conservatives and others have long campaigned forjust this kind of policy shift. as many other western countries are already doing, delay implementing net—zero commitments — such as the ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles from 2030. this is an absolute farce. most importantly this is more risk for british business. these targets are important so british businesses know how to invest in their workforce and factories. covenant have invested in millions of pounds of taxpayer subsidies to get businesses ready for these long held

changes and now we rishi sunak is u—turning. but there was no commitment from labour to restore any targets that are dropped. a leak within government, and a huge row boiling over — more than ever. let's get the latest on this now from our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. morning, henry. confirmation from yourstory morning, henry. confirmation from your story that the prime minister is going to change some key green policies. a bit vague at the moment but it could prove highly controversial even for some in his own party. let me clear up some of the vagueness. here are two things we know are under consideration. two big ticket green measures that it seems are going to change. one of them is on cars. as it stands, in 2030, you will no longer be able to buy new petrol and diesel cars. but it sounds like rishi sunak is considering very seriously wishing

that back to 2035, so five years longer. similarly, gas boilers, as it stands, going to be phased out in 2035. sounds like that date might slip a little bit. you had suella braverman, the home secretary, on your show earlier and she confirmed, or appear to confirm that there is a change of approach coming from the government on this. we need to adopt an approach of pragmatism and balance, and we need to ensure that we achieve that goal, but in a sustainable way, in a way that doesn't impose undue and disproportionate cost on families and householders and workers, and that we don't inhibit the daily way of lives that many of us are used to. so you heard there rhetorically that what the government is trying to do is say, we are committed to the 2050 net zero legal commitment, but that they want to do so in a way they think is fair on families that will

take more of the country with them as they get there. but that is very controversial, as you said earlier, with some members of the conservative party. you have green conservative party. you have green conservative mps are saying this is a significant weakening of commitments made pretty recently, by the way, by borisjohnson. that debate has been raging in the conservative party for some time. what rishi sunak has done is pick a side. , . ~ what rishi sunak has done is pick a side. , ., ,, ,~. what rishi sunak has done is pick a side. , . ~' ,, , what rishi sunak has done is pick a side. , ., ,, ,~. , . side. henry, thank you very much indeed. in the last hour, junior doctors in england havejoined consultants on the picket line, as both go on strike together — for the first time in the history of the nhs. it's part of a long—running dispute about pay and conditions. our health correspondent sharon barbourjoins us now. from a picket line in london. what is happening with the doctors today and how does it impact on patients? a huge impact on patients, hundreds

of thousands of appointments cancelled. the patients were notified and the doctors told me they tried to schedule important appointments when there were none the strike days to make sure they did not miss out. but in the hospital today there will be some cover on the wards if you are already a patient being treated. the nurses of course are there but minimal cover on the wards and there will be emergency cover, so christmas day cover in effect. emergency patients will be looked after and if you do have a medical emergency you are urged to contact 999 as usual, or turn up at your accident and emergency. a full hospital here, staff inside have been telling me. lots of patients, the doctors on the consultants though in an unprecedented move in the history of the nhs, all out on strike together. the reason is over pgy- strike together. the reason is over pay. i am joined strike together. the reason is over pay. iamjoined by strike together. the reason is over pay. i am joined by one of the junior doctors who has just arrived on the picket line. you were telling

tell us? well, they tell us the chan . e tell us? well, they tell us the change in _ tell us? well, they tell us the change in average _ tell us? well, they tell us the change in average prices - tell us? well, they tell us the - change in average prices compared with 12 months earlier. as you say, that figure for august for inflation was 6.7%. that means if you spent £100 on a range of things last august, those same things now on average would cost you £106.70. it is a slowing down in price rises compared withjuly, but remember that doesn't mean prices are necessarily falling, it means they are rising but not quite as quickly as they had been. it was a surprise fall, many economists expected inflation to go up because, for example, the price of fuel has gone up, people have noticed their petrol and diesel has got more expensive. remember, it is an average, so some things will have gone up by even more than that, most notably food and drink. inflation for that was at 13.6%. and drink. inflation for that was at i3.6%. getting significantly more expensive than things and the rest of the economy. it does still mean there is a squeeze on household budgets as the chancellorjeremy hunt has acknowledged.

the path to lowering inflation is never _ the path to lowering inflation is never easy because it doesn't happen in a straight— never easy because it doesn't happen in a straight line but if you look at the — in a straight line but if you look at the overall picture since it peaked — at the overall picture since it peaked last autumn, it is now down 40% and _ peaked last autumn, it is now down 40% and that says the plan is working _ 40% and that says the plan is working. but even at 6.7%, that is a lot of— working. but even at 6.7%, that is a lot of pain _ working. but even at 6.7%, that is a lot of pain for— working. but even at 6.7%, that is a lot of pain for ordinary families who are — lot of pain for ordinary families who are seeing their shopping bills io who are seeing their shopping bills go up. _ who are seeing their shopping bills go up, theirfuel who are seeing their shopping bills go up, their fuel prices go up, that is why— go up, their fuel prices go up, that is why it _ go up, their fuel prices go up, that is why it essential that we continue to stick— is why it essential that we continue to stick to — is why it essential that we continue to stick to that plan, deliver the prime _ to stick to that plan, deliver the prime minister's pledge and the bank of england's target, get it right down _ of england's target, get it right down to— of england's target, get it right down to 2%. well, the figure itself is important because it tells us about the cost of living pressures on businesses and households around the uk and it is also important because tomorrow the bank of england makes its decision on interest rates, the cost of borrowing. yes, fall in the rate of borrowing. yes, fall in the rate of inflation is a move in the right direction, but 6.7% is still way above the target for the bank of england, so many expect we could still see another rise in interest

rates tomorrow, which makes mortgages, loans and credit cards in the short term or expensive, while the short term or expensive, while the hope is that ultimately it will slow down inflation and price rises in the mid—term to long—term. ila in the mid-term to long-term. no doubt in the mid—term to long—term. no doubt you will be looking at that tomorrow morning. thank you. the tech firm meta — which owns facebook — has hit back at a new government campaign which criticises its plans to encrypt messages by the end of the year. the home secretary suella braverman has warned that hundreds of child abusers could escape punishment in the uk, if the company makes its messaging services completely private. meta says it has developed "robust" safety measures. the king and queen are travelling to paris today for a three—day state visit. the trip was postponed in march because of protests in france against president macron's pension reforms. our royal correspondent daniela relphjoins us now from the french capital.

bonjour! good morning, that's what it means. tell us about this visit. bonjour from it means. tell us about this visit. bonjourfrom paris. the king and queen are due to arrive here early on this afternoon and this will be their first stop. the arc de triomphe. they will get the full ceremonial welcome by the french president emanuel macron. the king and presence will then go to the lycee palace. over the next three days we will see a mix of culture, sports, and a bit of mr alger because some of the programme has been built around an reflects back to visit is the late queen made to france during her 70 year reign. it has been bumpy between the uk and france especially since brexit and there are thorny issues around trade. this doesn't fix that but it

perhaps suits the water is an easy some of the tension is a bit and every state visit requires a bit of glitz and glamour and that comes this evening at the palace of versailles, which used to be the royal residence when france had its own royal family before the revolution. tonight they will be a black—tie state banquet at their site where the king and queen will be honoured and the ties between the two countries will be celebrated. good stuff. full coverage on the bbc. thank you. merci beaucoup. iam fluent! bbc. thank you. merci beaucoup. i am fluent! , an ambulance worker who was saved by his patient and a nurse after he suffered a cardiac arrest has thanked them for giving him "another chance in life". it's amazing. imagine going to rescue someone _ it's amazing. imagine going to rescue someone and - it's amazing. imagine going to rescue someone and having i it's amazing. imagine going to i rescue someone and having them rescue someone and having them rescue you! shaun mcbride suddenly collapsed while he was preparing to take 72—year—old tommy stewart to hospital. mr stewart — who is an amputee — was strapped into the vehicle but was able to call for help. nurse freya smith—nicol then performed cpr until an ambulance arrived.

he served for eight years, earning praise for his response to the 2005 suicide bombings and for helping london win its bid to host the 2012 olympics. five years ago he resigned from the labour party over accusations of anti—semitism, which he denied. he's now 78 and his family say he's being "well cared for" in retirement. withjust over six months until the government's expansion of free childcare is rolled out, there's concern at some london nurseries that there aren't enough places to meet demand. from april next year eligible working parents of two—year—olds will have access to 15 free hours a week. the government says despite rising numbers of nurseries closing and staff leaving the profession, parents should feel reassured. so i totally recognise that there have been pressures on staff and recruitment. that's why we're starting this big new campaign to recruit more people to the sector, to increase the money that's going into it, and i'm confident we'll be able to support that.

two men and a woman have been arrested in connection with a fire in a 15—storey block of flats in kilburn on monday evening. no—one was hurt but the building in kilburn square was evacuated and it took 60 firefighters around 90 minutes to bring the fire under control. camden has become the first uk council to call for the crime of ecocide, environmental damage caused by deliberate or negligent action, to be recognised by international law. the council hope it will add weight to international calls to make it a criminal offence. let's take a look at the tubes now. severe delays on the central line. and the metropolitan line has no service between chalfont & latimer and chesham with delays on the rest of the line. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. it was very windy yesterday with gusts of wind across the capital of over a0 miles an hour at times.

and the blustery theme is just set to continue throughout today. in fact, some gusts of wind today, that brisk south—westerly, could approach 50 miles an hour at times, especially ahead of and on the weather front that will give us quite a lot of rain through the afternoon. but it is a dry start to the morning, there is some early brightness out there, very mild too this morning. the wind is particularly strong through the morning and on the weather front as that rain just gradually pushes its way in from the west. and that will be with us through the afternoon. so turning wet for the second half of the day, temperatures 19 or 20 celsius, you won't notice them too much with the strength of the wind and of course that wet second half of the day. that rain will eventually clear its way eastwards but it could pep up for a time overnight tonight perhaps. and it's a largely dry start to the day on thursday. thursday we will see some sunny spells but also some showers, the winds are lighter. coming in from the north—west so cooler feeling air from friday. that's it, there's plenty more on our website or the bbc news app. now it's back to sally and jon

and i'll see you in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. we've had the latest uk inflation figures this morning and there's been a surprise fall to 6.7%. we were expecting them to actually go we were expecting them to actually 9° up we were expecting them to actually go up a bit. we were expecting them to actually no u- a bit. . we were expecting them to actually no u- a bit. , ., . go up a bit. then is in nottingham at a coffee — go up a bit. then is in nottingham at a coffee shop, _ go up a bit. then is in nottingham at a coffee shop, what _ go up a bit. then is in nottingham at a coffee shop, what are - go up a bit. then is in nottingham at a coffee shop, what are you i go up a bit. then is in nottingham i at a coffee shop, what are you doing with that? i don't really fancy the look of that milk any more, but take away, then. it look of that milk any more, but take away. then-— away, then. it is a very good question- — away, then. it is a very good question. you _ away, then. it is a very good question. you cannot - away, then. it is a very good question. you cannot see i away, then. it is a very good | question. you cannot see the away, then. it is a very good - question. you cannot see the worried customers looking on! less worried about the inflation figures, more worried about my coffee making skills. i have been practising this morning, let me give you a quick demonstration, go round the outside

like that, there we go, and that is a beautiful bit of abstract art, i think we shall call it. i will leave that to the experts. evan is here stop i will focus on what you can talk to me about, inflation figures. average prices went up by 6.7% in august, that is slowing down in price rises compared withjuly. that is 6.8%. that remember tells us the average change in prices compared to average change in prices compared to a year ago, it is on average, some will have gone up even more sharply. one example is food inflation, that was 13.6% up in august. food and drink getting much more expensive. the big question is, what this will mean for interest rates. the bank of england saying that inflation is still above its target and with interest rate at 5.25%, the

expectation is tomorrow it might well push ahead with pushing interest rates up even more to try to rein in price rises. let's find out the impact that the inflation is having on businesses like this coffee shop, stephen is the managing director of the chain. price rises have slowed a bit, what are the biggest price pressures for your chain of coffee shops? it is biggest price pressures for your chain of coffee shops? it is around utility prices _ chain of coffee shops? it is around utility prices still. _ chain of coffee shops? it is around utility prices still. we _ chain of coffee shops? it is around utility prices still. we locked i chain of coffee shops? it is around utility prices still. we locked into i utility prices still. we locked into a contract in the peak last year, three year contract, so trying to navigate those contracts and resolving cost without putting pressure on our customers is a challenge. pressure on our customers is a challenge-— pressure on our customers is a challenge. pressure on our customers is a challenue. ., , , , , challenge. one of the surprises was the rate of inflation _ challenge. one of the surprises was the rate of inflation slowing - challenge. one of the surprises was the rate of inflation slowing down, i the rate of inflation slowing down, partly because economists noted that petrol and diesel prices had gone up, does that affect a business like this? ., . . this? not a huge impact. there are cost inflation _ this? not a huge impact. there are cost inflation prices _ this? not a huge impact. there are cost inflation prices but _ this? not a huge impact. there are cost inflation prices but mainly i this? not a huge impact. there are

that's some finish. the complete footballer. here's what newcastle have been waiting for after two decades and saudi arabian millions, in milan against one of the most successful european teams there's ever been. here we go, rafael leao. ac milan found many ways not to score, this the most elaborate. after 94 minutes mainly defending, newcastle were here. could there be a chance? well, 0—0, a pointand a new experience, it will all help. celtic�*s evening in rotterdam featured two goals from feyenoord. here is the first. we would take a point beforehand, roll on the next home game against psg, hopefully we win against them. i think we are over the moon, it was the right— i think we are over the moon, it was the right result, the crowd has been amazing, _ the right result, the crowd has been amazing, could not fault them. celtic�*s evening in rotterdam featured two goals from feyenoord. here is the first. it also included two red cards.

here's celtic�*s second. yeah, for that. part of the motivation for the manager's return was to make an impression on europe. well, brendan rodgers already has more to ponder. joe wilson, bbc news. certainly some head in hands moment for cettic— certainly some head in hands moment for celtic last night. harry kane will take centre stage as manchester united face bayern munich tonight. as will eric ten haag, the united manager. the club opted not to pursue a deal for the former tottenham striker in summer and already things are looking tricky for united in the early stages of the season. we are very respectful, and we know bayern munich especially in the champions league at home, especially in the group stage they are very strong. as you say, we are looking forward, because we like a challenge. and also, we trust ourselves. not a 20 year absence

from the champions league for arsenal, just the six years away for mikel arteta's side. it's psv eindhoven for them later and their manager is revelling being back in the competition. every time that i watched it and we weren't there, i felt it. i think you put pressure on yourself, you know. this club has to win the champions league. and when i have the job that i had, i had a responsibility to try to bring the club to the biggest stages, the biggest tournament. and then be fighting for them. and it was a process but we are here and now we have to make the most out of it. spain's world cup wining squad have decided to end their strike of the national team, after their football federation said it would make immediate and profound changes to its structure. it comes just a day afterjenni hermoso, the player who was kissed by luis rubiales, claimed the environment had not changed enough for her to be prepared to return to play. now only two of the 23 who have been called up say they won't play. it follows a series of meetings

in the early hours of this morning. after her performances in that final, no surprises to hear that england goalkeeper mary earps has been voted england's player of the year. just reward for those impressive performances at the recent world cup where she won the golden glove for best goalkeeper, helping guide the team to the final. she will be back in action for matches against scotland and the netherlands, not before millie bright gave her the award. oh, millie! i could not be prouder to present this to you. that's cute. player of the year. don't, i'm going to get emotional. honestly, you deserve it more than anyone. honestly, you have carried the cart. there is no surprise you've been up for every single award. honestly, i've got goose bumps because ourjourney has been incredible so congratulations. that's so cute, what a speech!

she is accruing so many awards, she will need an arena that pick to store them all! and the countdown is on to the cricket world cup. and someone all too aware of that isjoe root who could play against ireland later as he looks to cemenet his place in the side that will begin their world cup defence. the former england captain is in the 15 man squad for the tournament in india but has struggled in the 50 over format recently. the team to take on ireland at headingley is made up of back up players and root, who has been added, in the hope he can get some confidence boosting runs. that starts at midday. a number of back—up players in there but a chance forjoe root to shine as he so often does if he can try and force his way into the side. thank you. shenanigans. {30

in excess of half a month of rain in the cumbrian fells and a pot part of north wales. strong winds to go with it tied into this area of low pressure which is going to be pushing across the north of scotland through today, and this is where the front causing issues with travel this morning. wettest conditions in the west of england and wales in the south—west, with the strongest of the wins, 50 miles an hour easily. that is slowly pushing it so the next few hours we might start to see the wind is down in the far west of wales and the sunshine come out but the rain slides its way down into the rain slides its way down into the southern county, midlands, yorkshire, brightening across cumbria and lincolnshire by —— lancashire by mid—morning. sunshine and showers in scotland and northern ireland. longerspells and showers in scotland and northern ireland. longer spells of rain in the western isles as the winds pick up the western isles as the winds pick up later. the heavy rain will be working towards east anglia and the south—east for the end of the afternoon at the start of the evening rush hour, a lot of surface

water and spray around, gusty winds as well, still have an impact on travel here. temperature is not up much from what they are at the moment, it may feel a bit fresher in the north and west later as the wind continues to strengthen. evening rush—hour, east anglia and south—east, heavy rain clears into tomorrow morning and then wind is down. strong winds remain in the north—east with further rain, showers elsewhere and clearer skies. the cooler nights than last night, 10 degrees cooler than they are at the moment. four orfive in some rural parts as we start tomorrow morning. a lot more sunshine to start the day, the exception of the west of scotland in the north coast of northern ireland, outbreaks of rain, strong and gusty winds. sunshine and shower clouds building up sunshine and shower clouds building up through england and wales to the day, heavy and rumbles of thunder in the south—west into southern counties and east anglia. temperatures for all down a little bit on the past few days. into

tonight and friday, low pressure starts to pull away and we drag more of an north—westerly airflow. sunshine and chilly air to begin with but the sunshine going north and west and through the day they will develop more widely, some on the heavy and thundery side. the south coast staying dry through friday by and large but temperatures mid to high teens. the weekend, another cool night friday to saturday but saturday should start dry and bright with sunshine, rain in the west later but back to square one on sunday, more outbreaks of rain around and strong and gusty winds. enjoy your day, back to you both. whatever the weather, the stunning wainright peaks in the lake district are among the most challenging to climb in the uk. these gorgeous shots are of wetherlam — one of 214 fells which make up the iconic peaks.

the highest point is scafell pike — which takes at least three or four hours to climb. steve harrison knows all about the fells. and he has defied the odds to become the uk's first transplant patient to conquer them all. our reporter anne—marie tasker joined him for his final ascent. so over the years it got worse and worse. even on dialysis, i kept going because i thought, well, i've got to do something because i felt if i sat still and didn't do anything, it kind of felt to me like i was giving up. so steve harrison from gainsborough in lincolnshire set himself a challenge to climb all of the lake district's 214 wainwright peaks with his wife, donna. steve was born with only one kidney, and it was steadily failing. did you think you were going to get to today and complete all 214 of them? no, no, definitely not. i know i was getting weaker, so i was thinking we'd only

done 115 or something. ithought, well, basically got another 100 to go. i dropped down to seven stone. things that were standard for people was becoming really difficult, like getting up and down the stairs and had fingers crossed for a transplant really. team harrison. team harrison, come on. at the point of covid, when they stopped transportation, we sorted out our wills, we sorted out, you know, all that sort of things. but at 37 i wasn't ready to say goodbye to my husband. facing kidney failure during the covid lockdown, steve had to learn to do dialysis at home. then in december 2020, the news a donor kidney had been found. since then, steve's carried on climbing and he thinks he's the first uk transplant patient to bag all 214 wainwright peaks. and his friends and family joined him as he reached

the summit of his final climb. cheering. emotional, but it's a happy... yeah. kind of pinch yourself, can't actually believe i've done it emotion. just very grateful that everyone's been here to see it today. when he was on dialysis firstly, and to then have the transplant thrown in there, yeah, it's absolutely astounding. the treatment is brutal, it's relentless. so without knowing what he was going into, to take on such a challenge is amazing. doing something like this- is a massive accomplishment post transplant and even not post transplant, just for- an average person. i think it's brilliant. i think he's done extremely well and i'm really pleased to be here. truly amazing. in more ways than i can possibly be thankful for for the donor, they really did change my life. he was born premature, so he's always been a fighter. so he weren't going to give up. he's gone from strength to strength.

we just hope by doing this, no words can say thank you to the donor, but hopefully, if they're ever watching, we're making your son proud. well done, steve. a lovely bit of fresh our- _ that was a report by anne—marie tasker. have you ever felt "blutterbunged", or wanted to go "yolo" with your "bestie"? not this morning, and yeah? i don't know! those words may sound odd to some of you but countdown's susie dent is hoping they've also put a smile on yourface. you are smiling! she is here now and can explain why. you have put together this credibly magical words that would make you smile. yes. together this credibly magical words that would make you smile.- that would make you smile. yes, i noticed, i work—
