it's friday, the 22nd of september. the bbc is investigating a claim that russell brand exposed himself to a woman before joking about the incident on his radio 2 show. it's alleged to have happened in 2008, in los angeles. the woman did not work for the bbc but was employed in the building, where the presenter, who has denied any wrongdoing, recorded his show. graham satchell reports. russell brand is facing a series of sexual assault allegations, including rape and emotional abuse. the latest is said to have happened in this building in los angeles in 2008, where the broadcaster was recording an episode of his radio 2 programme. a woman, who the bbc is calling olivia, claims brand exposed himself to her in this bathroom. brand then laughed about the alleged incident minutes later on his show with his co—host, matt morgan. what made the bbc think that was appropriate to go out like that? ijust don't understand why they didn't investigate this much sooner, given the raunchy, outrageous bits. in a statement, the bbc said...

"we're very sorry to hear of these allegations and we will look into them. russell brown's co—presenter at the time, matt morgan, has also issued a statement. he says... it's the russell brand show and here's your host, i am. the latest claims follow an investigation by the sunday times and channel 4's dispatches programme, in which four women allege they were sexually assaulted by russell brand between 2006 and 2013. he has denied those claims but has not responded to this latest allegation. graham satchell, bbc news.

0ur entertainment correspondent colin paterson is outside bbc headquarters in london. colin, how does this latest allegation fit into what we've been hearing since the story broke nearly a week ago? the bbc has responded to these latest allegations by saying how sorry they are to hear about them and they will now form part of their investigation into russell brand's behaviour while he was a bbc radio presenter between 2006 and 2008. that investigation will look into who knew what and when. were complaints about his behaviour raised at the time and if so what actions were taken against him? it is also important to say that russell brand still completely denies all the allegations and says that any relationship he had at the time were consensual. this is now part of the wider industry issue. there are two investigations, one by

channel 4 and won by a production company looking into his behaviour while presenting a big brother spin off show in the early 2000 as well. when you look at what else has happened, russell brand has been de—monetised by you clip meaning he can no longer make money from his videos on there. his tour were supposed to be taking place tonight in plymouth, the last three dates that were all postponed. channel 4, they have had the investigation, and in australia, russell brand has been cancelled as a star speaker at a wellness festival. this story is very much moving on and these are the latest developments.— very much moving on and these are the latest developments. thank you for that. we have a story of hope, i think it is fair to say. a significant medical breakthrough. thank you. an eight—year—old girl has become the first child in the uk to receive a kidney transplant without needing to take drugs

to stop her body rejecting it. the child received both stem cells and a kidney transplant from her mother, which meant her body accepted the new organ. here's more from our medical editor fergus walsh. aditi's health has been transformed by a double transplant, thanks to her mum and a team at great 0rmond street hospital in london. she has an extremely rare genetic condition, which weakened her immune system and meant her kidneys were failing. so doctors took an unusual approach. first, aditi had a bone marrow transplant, using stem cells from her mum. this rebuilt aditi's immune system. six months later, she had a kidney transplant, again donated by her mother and her immune system accepted the organ as her own. her immune deficiency had to be corrected by having mum's bone marrow first, and because aditi was able to engraft and accept her mum's bone marrow, that therefore meant that her body

could then see her mum's kidney when it was transplanted as being part of her. within weeks of the transplant, aditi was taken off immunosuppression, which means she doesn't risk the long term side effects of these powerful drugs, which usually have to be taken daily to prevent organ rejection. the family is delighted. ifeel so happy, actually, as i then... i've given the blood cells and the kidney. so happy. yes, of course. i feel perfectly 0k, yes. i'm so proud of her. and she is amazing. she's doing very fine each and every day. and most of the support, i would say, is from from her side. because if she was someone who was bogged down by the procedures, or what she listens to on the ward, it could have been much more difficult for us. 0n the other hand, she was the one who was actually more outgoing. aditi is back at school and both her immune system and transplanted kidney are working normally.

the procedure is unlikely to be widely used, as the double transplant carries increased risks to the patient. fergus walsh, bbc news. us presidentjoe biden has told ukraine's volodymyr zelensky that extra support for his fight against the russian invasion arrive next week. —— will arrive. he promised new american battle tanks but not the requested missiles when the pair met at the white house. president zelensky then travelled to canada for an unnannounced visit, his first since the war started in february last year. police in new york have discovered a large quantity of drugs — including the opioid fentanyl — in a nursery where a one—year—old boy died last week. more than a dozen bags were hidden beneath a trapdoor at the day centre where nicholas dominici died of a suspected overdose. natwest says it's looking into a glitch with its cash deposit machines after customers reported money was missing

from their accounts. the bank said some payments were delayed but the issue has been resolved and no customer will be left out of pocket. king charles and queen camilla will end their state visit to france in bordeaux today. the royal couple will meet people affected by last year's wildfires, and visit a sustainable vineyard. 0ur royal correspondent daniela relph has been travelling with them. state visits can be a funny mix. moments of nostalgia, as royal trips of old are remembered and memories shared. applause. and serious messages of countries united, of enduring friendship, of positive alliances to tackle the world's global challenges. he speaks french. and the more informal stuff. meeting sports stars in france for the rugby world cup. and all the praise if it goes right.

and amidst all the unity, a little rivalry at table tennis, where the french came out on top. today, the focus shifts as the attention of the royal couple moves away from france's capital city. despite a tricky few years for the relationship between france and the uk post—brexit, the mood around this trip has been positive and optimistic. today, the king and queen leave paris and head south to bordeaux for the final day of the state visit. and there is something distinctly british about the weather forecast for bordeaux, as a city which is twinned with bristol prepares for its starring role in the state visit today. it will include a reception on board a royal navy frigate to highlight defence ties between the uk and france, plus a visit to an organic, sustainable vineyard. what's been noticeable during the week has been the obvious warmth and ease in the relationship

between the king and the queen and president and brigitte macron. last night, they said their goodbyes at the elysee palace, after a state visit where friendship and shared values have been the focus. daniela relph, bbc news, paris. she's known for lighting up the dancefloor but strictly professional amy dowden is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer. she's been documenting her journey on social media. this week, she took what she called the "hardest step" of her treatment so far, as will batchelor reports. amy dowden at home, surrounded by her family and friends. one by one, they cut off a lock of her hair. as each member of herfamily takes their turn, you can see the emotional impact it's having. amy is 33. she's been a dancer on strictly since 2017. she was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year and has been charting the course

of her illness on social media. in a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, often it feels like you don't have control through how you'll respond to the treatment. everything that you have to go through, how your body changes. but her shaving her hair off is her sign of saying, "i'm taking control and i'm going to put the time frame of when my hair comes out," rather than it feeling like it'sjust happening to her. as the final lock of hair is cut away, amy posted online that she wanted to help others to share the truth and bring normality to what she called a beautiful bald head. she described this moment as a hurdle she'd not even been able to think about, but says now she feels proud to have taken control. will batchelor, bbc news. we wish amy all the best with her ongoing treatment. if you were watching breakfast yesterday, you might

have seen our interview with peter langford, who was aiming to become the oldest man to cycle the length of britain. well, he's done it! peter, who is 90, pedalled from lands end tojohn 0'groats in 31 days. in itself, that is a huge achievement. it's the fourth time he's taken on the challenge. the retired vicar, from suffolk, previously completed the journey at the ages of 75, 80, and 85. we did ask him yesterday, what about 95? absolutely not! well done. congratulations. we are sitting comfortably. we will make simon do a bit of standing up. i bet he was cycling through a load of weather as well. the heatwave beginning of september, wet weather and of august. loads of wind this week, not

personally! it will be unsettled, today and over the weekend as well. a whole range of weather in the forecast. quite chilly out there this morning. temperatures into single figures across many parts of the uk. today we will see a mix of sunny spells, showers and that will bring some rainbows as well. plenty of those spotted yesterday. this is a satellite image. this swell of cloud is giving as unsettled weather. then a window of fine weather, that is tomorrow. this is harrop and nigel, out in the atlantic. that will move into sunday. it will weaken considerably. today showers across north and western areas of the uk, some of them could be heavy. they will move further south and east. all of us could catch the odd shower or two. windy conditions in the north. temperatures 12 to 1a in the north west of scotland. 12 to 18 the

further south and east you go. tonight we have a ridge of high pressure. this bulge. that squeezes down on the atmosphere and removes all the showers, most of the showers, and tends to clear the cloud as well. in central scotland it'll be three, four celsius, seven or eight further south. quite a chilly start on morning. 0ne or eight further south. quite a chilly start on morning. one or two showers affecting parts of east anglia and the south—east of england. later on in the day we will see cloud increasing and it may be some spots of rain as northern ireland and the south—west of england tomorrow. temperatures 1a to 18 celsius. thank you very much. star gazers will have their eyes on the skies above the us state of utah this weekend, where a very special capsule is due to plummet to earth from space. lam i am fascinated by this. it contains rocks and dust

from an asteroid, which took four years to reach, and could give vital clues about the formation of our planet more than four billion years ago. it didn't land grab of staff. —— a land grab of stuff. from that little bit, you can find out so much. 0ur science editor, rebecca morelle, has the details. asteroid bennu, a 500m wide rock hurtling through space. with its boulder—strewn terrain, it tops nasa's list of space rocks that pose a danger to our planet. but it could also shed light on our very beginnings. so nasa decided to get up close and personal with it. after a two—year journey captured on camera, this was the moment the osiris—rex spacecraft collected a sample in a smash and grab that lasted just five seconds. these bits of bennu were safely stowed in a capsule, and now they're heading

back to earth. we're looking at material that existed before our planet did, before the origin of life. in fact, some of it may have been from even before the solar system formed. so we're looking at the beginning of our story. how did our solar system form, how did asteroids come together? and did asteroids like bennu literally make the earth a habitable world? for the landing site, they've chosen a vast wilderness. after travelling for billions of miles through space, the capsule is going to land somewhere over here in the utah desert. scientists think there's about 250 grams of rock and dust inside. it doesn't sound like much. just a handful or so. but every single grain of this is precious. and scientists will study it to reveal the story of our solar system. the return won't be easy. the capsule will speed through the earth's atmosphere

at more than 27,000 mph, experiencing temperatures of 3,000 degrees, before descending down to the ground slowed by parachutes. beeping. the nasa team has been practising in the desert, working out the best way to recover the craft after it comes down. the most important thing is to keep the extraterrestrial material inside free from contamination. of course, we study meteorites here on earth and there's a lot we can learn from those meteorites. but they have gone through earth's atmosphere and potentially had some contamination from earth. so that's why we need a pristine sample from an asteroid. bennu's already thrown up some surprises — it's not a solid rock, it's a loosely held—together pile of rubble. and some surprising people have also been involved in the mission along the way. sir brian may helped the team to choose the best place to take a sample,

by making stereoscopic 3d images of bennu. i think originally 30 different sites were selected as possibilities, but some were rejected because the boulders were too big, some were rejected because it was actually too small to navigate into. some because the materials you were going to get weren't going to be nice enough. interesting. and the material that we were able to supply, i think, just enabled them to tip the balance to actually make those final decisions. all eyes are now on this patch of utah desert, ready for the landing. the hope is this mission could answer that most profound question — where did we come from? rebecca morrell, bbc news, utah. we will be talking about that a little later. really is fascinating. so much information from such a small thing. let's take a look at today's

front pages. the times reports that mortgage rates are beginning to fall after the bank of england held interest rates at 5.25%. the paper says it's positive for those with mortgages but there are concerns that savers will be hit. the telegraph claims the prime minister is considering a "major reform" of a—levels, saying that rishi sunak wants a new british baccalaureate to ensure children study more subjects. the proposals include english and maths becoming compulsory up until the age of 18. the metro has a story we've been reporting on this morning. it has a picture of eight—year—old aditi shankar, who has become the uk's first kidney transplant patient who will not need drugs for life to stop her body rejecting her new organ. the paper says the procedure "offers hope to others in future." and the mirror focuses on a beautician, who has been charged with spying on britain for russia. she's an eyelash expert, so the paper has gone with the headline,

"for your eyes only." and the most watched video on the bbc news website this morning is tickling ben and all of us. a pigeon flew into a man's head as he walked to the shops. neither were hurt when we should be clear. michael speirs from nottingham said it was "like being whacked full pelt with a feathered pillow." and that, in his opinion, the video was "comedy gold" and too good not to share. you know when you watch those videos you know you should not laugh and it makes you laugh all the more. the way the pigeon saunters off. can we have a look at it again? please. the

pigeon is quite happy, look! i do not know the pigeon is happy. i love how we get it from every angle as well. i will tell you what, really good cctv coverage. better than some of the filming that we do. we will have to get make up in to sort this out! are you all right? it has really tickled you this morning, hasn't it? the pigeon and the man were fine. we have spoken to the man, not the pigeon. the pigeon walked off. the pigeon is fine. i promise you, i promise... i'm going to put it on my phone. you know when you need a pick up, we are going to show it again on this programme because it has brought untold joy to

us. i hope it has you as well. the simple things. normal service resumes. 22 minutes past six is the time. finding an old wartime letter tucked inside a second—hand book sounds like it could be the start of a mystery novel. but, for bernard duff, it was even better than that. in an extraordinary coincidence, he recognised the name of the letter writer, which helped to rekindle a friendship dating back more than 90 years. crispin rolfe has the story. # what would you do if i sang out of tune? | they lived on the same street. # would you stand up and walk out on me? i grew up together. # lend me your ears. and i'll sing you a song. and lived through the war. # i will try not to sing out of key. but now in their 90s, back then, friends bernard and barbara went their separate ways, had families and, eventually, lost contact altogether.

you do that, you get everybody. all until now. bernard's chance purchase of a charity book and the old note found inside it, originally written by barbara in 1942, helped bring them back together. took the note out, had a read through and ijust couldn't believe it when i came to the name. it was barbara godden. as far as i was aware, there was only one barbara godden. and when i looked at the bottom and found that donald had been added, i knew it was barbara. but i was rather ungallant about barbara, because i thought she was at least two years older than me, which would have made her 96. and, like a lot of friends, she might have passed on. the book was familiar, but i had taken it to a charity shop only about a week before.

and he was in touch with the telegraph and it went from there. we have so many memories. we can't share them with anyone, can we? no. because they've all died, unfortunately. 0urfamilies are dead, you see — parents and so on. there is nobody to share it all with. but there are at least memories to share with each other, including a memorable trip to the river trent when they were nine and ten. we heard it was frozen. doesn't happen that often. so off we went down to the trent. it was great, wasn't it? a blizzard came. the thing there was, when i saw barbara godden, at the end of that note, the first thing that flashed through my mind was that. so that and almost 100 years of memories to share all through a chance reunion.

# try with a little - help from my friends. a bit weird, really. that note in that particular book. mysterious. it is, isn't it? that report by crispin rolfe. you're watching breakfast. still to come on today's programme... # what can i do...# northern soul is celebrating its half century this weekend. and we'll be live from blackpool with some fans who've been "keeping the faith" for 50 years. we are off to watch the pigeon video again. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london.

the mayor of london, sadiq khan, has announced who'll sit on new london policing board which will oversee and scrutinise reform of the metropolitan police. among the twelve members are neil basu, the former met assistant commissioner, and stuart lawrence, the brother of stephen lawrence. setting up the london policing board fulfils a key recommendation made by baroness casey in her review of the met published earlier this year. the studios in hertfordhire where the harry potter films were made are set for a big expansion. warner brothers studios leavesden will build ten new sound stages and an additional 400,000 sq ft — increasing production capacity by more than 50%. it's hoped it will create 4,000 direct or indirect jobs across the country. building is due to begin next year and be completed in 2027. london schools have received thousand of pounds in grants to help improve music lessons.

restore the music uk, a music education charity, has given over £200,000 in the capital as they say schools are under increasing financial pressure and their funding helps fill the gaps. kitting out a music department is one of the most expensive departments to furnish within school. sadly, perhaps you could say inevitably, music funding is one of the first areas that gets cut in many schools. let's take a look at the tubes. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. now the weather. good morning. it's a bright if cool start this morning. plenty of sunny spells around today, but also some scattered showers. now, it's dry first thing, but the cloud will start to bubble up as we head into the afternoon. and with that, those showers moving

through on a northwesterly breeze. exposed areas — the chilterns — 15 celsius, so feeling cool. central london around 18 celsius. any showers this afternoon will fade into the evening. it's dry, it's clear, the wind a bit lighter, too. so one or two mist patches and cool — temperatures down to 6c, so a chilly start to the weekend. tomorrow, a ridge of high pressure builds, so it's fending off any fronts associated with that low pressure to the northwest of scotland. so it's fine and it's dry. we've got some sunshine for tomorrow. temperatures still on the cool side. we've got a maximum of around 17 or 18 celsius. but as we head into sunday, we pick up a southerly flow and the temperatures are actually going to get a bit warmer. plenty of sunshine around for sunday and, as you can see, temperatures into next week in the low 20s. london has one of the lowest take—up rates for measles vaccinations in country. vaccinations in the country. today on bbc london, we'll be talking to public health england about the disease. if you have any questions on measles, the vax programme or why your child should be

vaccinated — please e—mail. that's it — there is of course more on our website. we're back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson. it's been a long time coming, but there was a bit of good news for anyone with a mortgage yesterday as the bank of england held interest rates for the first time in nearly two years. hannah can tell us more. there was speculation because we have the inflation figures showing a slight drop but it gave a hint where we could see the first wall. as you say, it is a long time coming. in some ways, yesterday was the moment we had been building up to a significant moment as part of this story. it was a tight decision.

the governor andrew bailey has a casting vote on the monetary policy committee and had to use it to come to a decision. until yesterday the base rate had been going up. 14 increases since december 2021, meaning the base rate is at 5.25%. that is where it will stay for now. why has it held fire on a rise? this graph of inflation and interest rate shows you what has been happening over the past two years. inflation, the rise in the cost of living, was at 11% last october. as the bank of england put up rates, the blue line, they went higher and higher. inflation has started to fall as a result of people having less spare money to spend and in part due to the higher mortgage. last month,

inflation fell again to 6.7% and the bank of england decided the work they had done is now having an effect and slowing the rise in the cost of living. the government is hoping the fall and continues so it can beat the pledge to bring inflation to around 5% by the end of the year but many might be wondering whether that means interest rates have peaked. this is what the bank of england governor said. we have peaked. this is what the bank of england governor said.— of england governor said. we have not had any _ of england governor said. we have not had any discussion _ of england governor said. we have not had any discussion on - of england governor said. we have not had any discussion on the - not had any discussion on the committee about reducing rates because that would be premature. our job is to get inflation down. we have a big job to do, quite a long way to go. it is encouraging but i am afraid we cannot be complacent. we will watch the evidence carefully as we always do. i went to wakefield after the announcement yesterday to find out how people there are coping. the

--eole do how people there are coping. tie: people do not spend as much money as they used to. right now, the people by £20 bunches where before it was 30-40. it will by £20 bunches where before it was 30—40. it will affect customers. hopefully we can see more relaxed and more open wallets here. hopefully, everything will be better. we hit rock bottom. the only way is up. better. we hit rock bottom. the only wa isu.�* ,, better. we hit rock bottom. the only wa isu-.�* , ., better. we hit rock bottom. the only wa isu. , . ,. . way is up. because we are such a new business we — way is up. because we are such a new business we cannot _ way is up. because we are such a new business we cannot get _ way is up. because we are such a new business we cannot get any _ way is up. because we are such a new business we cannot get any more - business we cannot get any more loans_ business we cannot get any more loans because our credit is so low so even _ loans because our credit is so low so even with interest rates not going — so even with interest rates not going up— so even with interest rates not going up and it is still hard to keep— going up and it is still hard to keep on— going up and it is still hard to keep on top of everything. we both have mortgages. so, ideally, that can stay — have mortgages. so, ideally, that can stay. yes, go back down. h0pefully~ _ can stay. yes, go back down. hopefully. we see a dip mid month before _ hopefully. we see a dip mid month before payday. usually the week before _ before payday. usually the week before payday. usually the week before payday is generally quiet. so, hopefully, it will be more of a

stadium announcer on the south coast, to drink it in because the first night of european football. the rain dampen the excitement and they did lose. sometimes, the sense of occasion, you can build things up too much. it is a group stage match so plenty of time to recover. it is good to see this passion because that is what the fans want. a moment to savour, a moment in history. it was all set up to be a memorable night for all associated with brighton, but in the end, their debut in europe didn't quite go to plan. they did dominate aek athens, for long periods but failed to take their chances in front of goal, while mistakes in defence, of goal, while mistakes in defence gifted the greek side victory in this, their opening match of the group stages, as nesta mcgregor reports. brighton's european debut and an atmosphere to match the occasion. hoping to spoil the party — aek athens, who didn't need long to make their mark. commentator: it's a good ball and a fantastic header. - the home side, a goal down, were given the chance to draw level

from the penalty spot. joao pedro, the club's record signing, nowjust a kick away from the history books. a landmark goal. the seagulls are primed for take—off, or so they thought. because the greek side were back in frontjust before half—time, much to the brighton manager's disappointment. however, his mood may have quickly improved. have quickly improved after the break — his team given another chance to draw level, another penalty, another goalforjoao pedro. but the greek champions are no strangers to big european nights and they made that experience count. brighton 3—2 losers. but a night that will live long in the memory, regardless of the result. nestor mcgregor, bbc news. liverpool are favourites to win the europa league, and got off to a winning start — but not without a scare against austrian side lask — falling behind early on. they did recover with three second—half goals. mo salah with the last of them.

victory too for european conference league champions west ham, who also had to come from behind to beat serbian side backa topola 3—1. this is now the higher status europa league for them. and a win too for scottish side rangers — a victory that eases the pressure on rangers manager michael beale. they won 1—0 at ibrox, beating spanish side real betis. abdallah sima with the goal. so a mixed night for british teams in the europa league but it was a bad night for two british sides in the europa conference league. in their first european match in 13 years, aston villa twice came from behind — but still lost 3—2 against legia warsaw in poland. the villa manager, unai emery, saying it was a learning curve for his side. and defeat too for aberdeen, as they were beaten in germany, losing 2—1 against eintracht frankfurt in aberdeen's first appearance in a european group stage for 15 years. it's a huge weekend ahead at the rugby world cup, with two of the favourites,

ireland and south africa, clashing tomorrow, while hosts france have made it 3 wins out of 3 at the rugby world cup after demolishing minnows namibia 96—nil — but their victory could come at a huge cost. the french were ruthless on the easiest of nights in marseille. damian penaud with a hattrick. but captain and 2021 world player of the year, antoine dupont, was taken off with a head injury — after a red card tackle from namibia's captain. there are fears it could be a fractured jaw and that would almost certainly rule him out of the tournament. it's a huge fortnight in golf with europe taking on the usa in one of sports great rivalries. next week, the men's ryder cup gets under way, but this morning, within the hour, the battle for the women's solheim cup begins in spain. team europe are aiming to win the event for a third time in a row — something they've never done before. the opening ceremony celebrated the culture of andalucia on the south coast of spain, with a freddie mercury tribute act stirring the passions, with european fans full of confidence that nothing

will stop them now, and that their team will be champions again over the americans who are very much the underdogs against what's being hailed as europe's strongest side ever. it includes england's charley hull and georgia hall, with scotland's gemma dryburgh making her debut after years of being a fan. and cheering on — her captain suzann pettersen. obviously, four years ago, like you said, i was a spectator at gleneagles. so this is a very different experience. and i was definitely inspired when i went to watch the girls then winning there. and suzann, obviously, when i'm holing that winning putt. so it's pretty special her being my captain now. but yeah, it's nice to fly the flag for scotland. and you can see the highlights on bbc two at seven o'clock. we have so much great music for you. we will celebrate five decades of northern soul in a few minutes but we also

have the undisputed queen of pop. and we've also got the undisputed queen of pop, who has been knocking out hits for 35 years. kylie minogue has just released her latest album — her 16th and headlined radio 2's "in the park" festival. she sat down with me for a chat. 16th album — tension. it's fabulous. yes. it's really fabulous. i had a chance to listen to it. and what speaks to you? ten out of ten. really? i'm so surprised. everyone says something different, which is great. yeah. padam padam — are you surprised atjust how quickly it became big? # padam, padam, i hear it and i know. # i know you wanna take me home and get to know me close. # padam, padam. i reacted to the song — that was a song that came in. so i heard it as a demo and flipped

the second i heard it. i was like, yes, when can i get my vocals on it? like, get me that song now. and we lived with it for about a year. i recorded my vocals in a hotel room, which i've done a lot of on this album, wherever i happened to be. but the way that it took off and just became this, er, thing. and it's the first time in my career that i've been able to see it unfold right in front of me, day by day by day. the thrill never goes away, does it? no, no, no, no. and i had the performance last weekend for radio two. in leicester. which was unreal. # i'm spinning around, move out of my way. # i know you're feeling me cos you like it like this. can i ask you a question about your outfit? yeah. it looked amazing. it did. how sweaty were those trousers?

it was, um, let's put it this way, quick change was... necessary. it was a struggle. because i think it's my age now. a bit of profanity and a quick change. and i'm going, "start clapping, do something." trying to, like, you know, peel the outfit off and get into a cat suit after that. but, hey, we got we got there. kylie when she first started. 17, 18. # i should be so lucky. what would you say to that kylie to make sure, because you're in a fantastic place now, that you get here to this moment of happiness. um, that's an emotional question, isn't it? i would say, aside from

the throwaway answer, which is keep a diary, which i wish i had, i would say don't be so hard on yourself. believe, have fun along the way. but i'd like to at least advise her that it's ok. all these things are normal, what you're going through. and i'd say, hey, you're going to have a great time. it's not all going to be great, but, overall, it's going to be great. and i'll say you won't believe it — you are going to get to meet so many amazing people. you're going to sing incredible songs and you're going to play a part in people's lives. so. enjoy it and lucky you. she is in such a good place. i am so jealous you got to meet her.

you can hear my full interview with kylie after half eight this morning. kylie's new album �*tension' is out today. you can watch her headline set from last weekend's radio 2 in the park tomorrow night on bbc2 at 10.05pm and bbc iplayer. i will not forgive you for interviewing kylie. how are you doing with the weather, simon? a mixed weekend. a lovely start. it is quite cold out there. if you are going out in the next half hour, bear that in going out in the next half hour, bearthat in mind. going out in the next half hour, bear that in mind. a lovely, clear start. that is the scene in essex at the moment. today there will be cloud building, showers developing quite widely into the afternoon with rainbows to be spotted. you can see the cloud here. unsettled weather for today. this clear spell, a window of fine weather on saturday

before hurricane nigel, it will move in for sunday but it will not be a hurricane by the time it reaches us. today, showers in northern and western areas this morning will drift south and by this afternoon all at some point will catch a shower. strong winds in the east of scotland. temperatures 12—13 in the north—west, up to 18 further south and east. tonight, a ridge of high pressure. that squeezes down on the atmosphere. high pressure moving down. it clears the showers and cloud. another chilly night. temperatures down to three celsius in central scotland. even in the south, 7—8. like today, a lot of clear skies tomorrow. top some showers in norfolk and suffolk in the afternoon. the cloud will

increase from the west with outbreaks of rain later in the day in the far west. into sunday. i mentioned hurricane nigel but by this stage it will not be a hurricane but it is an area of low pressure out to the north—west. you can see the isobars closer together. stronger winds and with that outbreaks of rain. gail is expected around irish sea coasts and with that heavy rain, especially in northern ireland, wales, north—west england and eventually pushing up into scotland. in the midlands, eastern and south—eastern england, largely dry with sunny spells. the temperature is a little bit higher on sunday because we have switched the wind direction to a south—westerly. temperatures back up to 18-20. as south—westerly. temperatures back up to 18—20. as we go into next week, remaining fairly unsettled. temperatures will remain about

17-21. temperatures will remain about 17—21. just above the average. we keep the south—westerly wind. further showers or longer spells of rain at times throughout the week so quite unsettled going into next week. it will not be a wash—out. we have sunshine coming through. giving fairly nice conditions for time next week. remember it is the equinox on sunday. the worst day of the year. 0k, we will explore that later, shall we? to be continued. one of northern soul's most famous clubs is celebrating its 50th anniversary this weekend. the wigan casino no longer exists in physicalform, but its spirit lives on in blackpool. our arts correspondent david sillito is there.

good morning. we said it lives on in spirit and this is what it is about, the spirit. yes, we are here celebrating wigan at the moment to an extraordinary club that began in september the 23rd 1973 and club that began in september the 23rd1973 and how club that began in september the 23rd 1973 and how else would you celebrate it? all night, to have people at 6.47 dancing. they are going mad this morning. welcome to the winter gardens in blackpool. we are celebrating with 4000 people. a club that began 50 years ago. if any club that began 50 years ago. if any club deserves the name of being legendary, it is the wigan casino. and we are celebrating how it essentially transformed a culture and is living on today. i have been catching up with people from back in the 1970s who went to the original wigan casino.

# do you want me to get down on my knees? # beg you, baby, please. # cry a million tears #. the fabled wigan casino in its �*70s heyday and one of the few nights a camera was allowed in — for a film about young people who travelled from across the country to dance all night to what had become known as northern soul. i suddenly saw this amazing dancing going on and that was mesmerising. # what can i do when i still love you? entirely of their own invention, these kids had come up with something that was theirs, the focus of their week. different. take it easy, please! take it easy. - don't push! there is even a blue plaque to it, but the casino itself has long gone. in its place, as you can see, is a shopping centre. # do i love you? but while the casino is gone, many are still keeping the faith, such as gideon here and sandy.

i like to play the night by frankie valli and the four seasons. and they've still got it. # beware this promise. it was a wednesday. when i first walked in, i was like, whoa! what was different about it when you walked in? it was just pulsating and the atmosphere was just amazing. yeah, you could feel it. and the hairs are standing up on my arm, literally, look. that feeling i get even now after how many decades? 45 years. i can't describe what he'sjust said there. 45 years. there'll never be another wigan casino — never ever. # and you know you're gonna lose more than you found. _ also in the film, young chris from leigh, who was a bit worried about telling her dad where she was going. i told my mum how much i liked it and she figured

i'd want to go every week. she says, "well, you're going to have to tell your dad because he's got an idea anyway," you know. but she said i'm not telling him. 45 years on, we tracked her down. did your dad ever approve of you going? well, he knew about it when he saw the film, didn't it? the film, didn't he? that showed you how bright i was! i'm not the sharpest knife in't box. do you miss those days? yeah, because it was special. once you get into northern, you don't lose it. it's like another family. once you're in, you're in for life. you're fantastic! nah, nah, nah. looking at those days, what was it like in there? oh, it was banging. like, you'd go and sweat was dripping off the walls.

and as soon as you walked through the door, you were on it. because the music was going poom—poom—poom. it didn't matter. how did you do it all night? yeah, well, some of us had a bit of help, but it's one of them. i'm not asking any questions. i saw that and i thought, i want to meet her, i want to meet her. you are a star and i found you, i found you. have i changed? nothing — nothing has changed. i've still not got a posh accent. # follow you around, everywhere in town. i northern soul — it wasn'tjust wigan, it was a family, a community. and, 50 years on, thousands are still keeping the faith.

we are still keeping the faith this morning. i cannot believe how much energy everyone has. debbie, you are a remarkable dancer. way too young to remember wigan? hat a remarkable dancer. way too young to remember wigan?— to remember wigan? not at all. i'm 63 next year — to remember wigan? not at all. i'm 63 next year and _ to remember wigan? not at all. i'm 63 next year and my _ to remember wigan? not at all. i'm 63 next year and my years - to remember wigan? not at all. i'm 63 next year and my years at - to remember wigan? not at all. i'm 63 next year and my years at wigan | 63 next year and my years at wigan were from 75 to 78. i joined 63 next year and my years at wigan were from 75 to 78. ijoined the air force in 78 and left that behind me. truly from wigan so hence being here for the anniversary.— for the anniversary. emotional, amazing- _ for the anniversary. emotional, amazing. what _ for the anniversary. emotional, amazing. what is _ for the anniversary. emotional, amazing. what is it _ for the anniversary. emotional, amazing. what is it about - for the anniversary. emotional, amazing. what is it about and i for the anniversary. emotional, - amazing. what is it about and why? we had the 70s, depression times, people going to america and bringing singles, not linked to motown, linked to whatever they were. and it that music hit the streets, in the 70s particularly, northern soul exploded. i 70s particularly, northern soul

that is impressive. i am exhausted looking at that. it makes me want to dance. it makes me want to dance. it does not make me want to dance. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. the mayor of london, sadiq khan, has announced who'll sit on new london policing board which will oversee and scrutinise reform of the metropolitan police. among the 12 members are neil basu, the former met assistant commissioner and stuart lawrence, the brother of stephen lawrence. setting up the london policing board fulfils a key recommendation made by baroness casey in her review of the met published earlier this year. the studios in hertfordhire where the harry potter films were made are set for a big expansion. warner brothers studios leavesden will build ten new sound

stages and an additional 400,000 square foot — increasing production capacity by more than 50%. it's hoped it will create 4,000 "direct or indirect" jobs across the country. building is due to begin next year and be completed in 2027. london schools have received thousand of pounds in grants to help improve music lessons. "restore the music uk", a music education charity, has given over £200,000 in the capital as they say schools are under increasing financial pressure and their funding helps fill the gaps. kitting out a music department is one of the most expensive departments to furnish within school. sadly, perhaps you could say inevitably, music funding is one of the first areas that gets cut in many schools. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. just minor delays on the bakerloo line. now on to the weather

with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a bright if cool start this morning. plenty of sunny spells around today, but also some scattered showers. now, it's dry first thing, but the cloud will start to bubble up as we head into the afternoon. and with that, those showers moving through on a northwesterly breeze. exposed areas — the chilterns — 15 celsius, so feeling cool. central london around 18 celsius. any showers this afternoon will fade into the evening. it's dry, it's clear, the wind a bit lighter, too. so one or two mist patches and cool — temperatures down to 6c, so a chilly start to the weekend. tomorrow, a ridge of high pressure builds, so it's fending off any fronts associated with that low pressure to the northwest of scotland. so it's fine and it's dry. we've got some sunshine for tomorrow. temperatures still on the cool side. we've got a maximum of around 17 or 18 celsius. but as we head into sunday, we pick up a southerly flow and the temperatures are actually going to get a bit warmer. plenty of sunshine around for sunday and, as you can see, temperatures

into next week in the low 20s. london has one of the lowest take—up rates for measles vaccinations in country. today on bbc london we'll be talking to public health england about the disease. if you have any questions on measles, the vax programme or why your child should be vaccinated, please e—mail hello bbc london at bbc.co.uk. that's it — there is of course more on our website. we're back in half an hour. good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and naga munchetty. our headlines today... more questions for the bbc, following a claim that russell brand exposed himself to a woman before laughing about it on his radio 2 show. an eight—year—old girl becomes the first person in the uk to have a special type of kidney

transplant, which means she won't need to take drugs "for life" as a result. the real cost of shop crime, as the co—op reveals it's lost more than £30 million this year. we look at how businesses are tackling shoplifting and theft. in sport... the seagulls get their wings clipped on their european debut. on a historic stormy night on the south coast, aek athens rain on brighton's parade in theirfirst ever match in europe. a quiet but chilly start to the day. we will— a quiet but chilly start to the day. we will have sunshine but cloud will build up _ we will have sunshine but cloud will build up in _ we will have sunshine but cloud will build up in the afternoon. with that showers _ build up in the afternoon. with that showers moving in and the risk of one or— showers moving in and the risk of one or two — showers moving in and the risk of one or two rainbows as well. the full forecast later on the programme. it's friday, the 22nd of september. the bbc is investigating a claim that russell brand exposed himself to a woman before joking about the incident on his radio 2

show. it's alleged to have happened in 2008 in los angeles. the woman did not work for the bbc but was employed in the building where the presenter, who has denied any wrongdoing, recorded his show. graham satchell reports. russell brand is facing a series of sexual assault allegations, including rape and emotional abuse. the latest is said to have happened in this building in los angeles in 2008, where the broadcaster was recording an episode of his radio 2 programme. a woman, who the bbc is calling olivia, claims brand exposed himself to her in this bathroom. brand then laughed about the alleged incident minutes later on his show with his co—host, matt morgan. what made the bbc think that was appropriate to go out like that? ijust don't understand why they didn't investigate this much sooner, given the raunchy, outrageous bits. in a statement, the bbc said...

russell brown's co—presenter at the time, matt morgan, has also issued a statement. he says... it's the russell brand show and here's your host, i am. the latest claims follow an investigation by the sunday times and channel 4's dispatches programme, in which four women allege they were sexually assaulted by russell brand between 2006 and 2013. he has denied those claims but has not responded to this latest allegation. graham satchell, bbc news. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson is outside bbc headquarters in london. this story has been out there for a

week now and it is developing, isn't it? ., , ., ., ., , it? the latest allegations will feature into _ it? the latest allegations will feature into the _ it? the latest allegations will feature into the bbc- it? the latest allegations will- feature into the bbc investigation into russell brand while he was a presenter on bbc radio shows between 2006 and 2008. that investigation will look at who knew what and when. what complaints had been made at that time and how where they acted on. the bbc has also said they were very much like to speak to this woman who has made these allegations in la and they will be speaking to the los angeles bureau and want to speak to people working there at the time of the alleged incident in 2008. this is part of a wider industry issue. we have had over the last week how there are two investigations into russell brand's behaviour while he was presenting a big brother spin off show, one from channel 4 and one from the production company. there have been

developments this week like you deciding to de—monetise russell brand's content. you can no longer make money from adverts, appearing in theirs. and australian welfare organisation removed him as well. any relationship he had ——. a story of medical advances and a story of hope. you are right. it could be game changing. an eight—year—old girl has become the first child in the uk to receive a kidney transplant without needing to take drugs to stop her body rejecting it. the child received both stem cells and a kidney transplant from her mother, which meant her body accepted the new organ. here's more from our medical editor fergus walsh. aditi's health has been transformed by a double transplant, thanks to her mum and a team at great 0rmond street hospital in london.

she has an extremely rare genetic condition, which weakened her immune system and meant her kidneys were failing. so doctors took an unusual approach. first, aditi had a bone marrow transplant, using stem cells from her mum. this rebuilt aditi's immune system. six months later, she had a kidney transplant, again donated by her mother and her immune system accepted the organ as her own. her immune deficiency had to be corrected by having mum's bone marrow first, and because aditi was able to engraft and accept her mum's bone marrow, that therefore meant that her body could then see her mum's kidney when it was transplanted as being part of her. within weeks of the transplant, aditi was taken off immunosuppression, which means she doesn't risk the long term side effects of these powerful drugs,

bad the situation has become. the co—op has revealed that its food business lost £33 million this year to crimes including shoplifting and fraud. that comes after the boss ofjohn lewis — dame sharon white — said shoplifting was a "terrible scourge", with incidents doubling over the last 12 months. and the british retail consortium says shops are reporting 8 million incidents of customer thefts in a year, with rates increasing. and it's notjust the big retail chains which are feeling the impact — small independent firms can be even more vulnerable. they do not have the luxury of security or cctv. andy gill reports from liverpool. a customer at shared earth gift shop in liverpool earlier this month. he takes an object from the shelf with his right hand and pockets it. moments later, it's the left hand in use. again, he pockets the item. we're losing a significant amount that it is affecting us. and, you know, it is our livelihood. we don't... you know, we need that money because our rents are going up.

our rates are going up. cost of stock is going up. so when people take stuff, it really does affect us. people have less disposable income. the disposable income, they have, they're really choosy about what they spend it on. but also people don't... they still want things. they'll take a £15 candle, but they'll buy a £1.50 pack of incense at the till, you know. so they're taking what they want without paying for all of it. and that happens all the time now. shared earth is on bold street, home to many of liverpool's independent retailers. across the way at resurrection, they have noticed an increase in shoplifting lately, and today they were putting in a new cctv system to fight back. we had about £1,000 of stock taken just a couple of weeks ago. it's really tough at the moment. we're obviously trying to make a lot of money because we're an independent business. we've got people's, like, livelihoods here. we want people to be able to be paid at the end of the month. another bold street independent is grin.

here, they noticed a drop off in shoplifting after the end of covid lockdowns, but now it's back up again. after covid, there was a lot less. everyone seemed to be a lot more supportive of small businesses. but now i don't think anyone cares. i think it's gone back to previous levels and everyone's... yeah, people that want to steal will steal. the body representing city centre businesses runs an app and a radio link to share information about criminals. it's not a victimless crime. especially in an area like bold street, where we do have a lot of independent businesses and family—owned businesses. it's, er, you know, something that needs to be addressed and we're doing the best we can to support them. merseyside police say they take all business crime, including shoplifting, extremely seriously and any incident, no matter how small, will be thoroughly investigated. andy gill, bbc news, liverpool. we're joined now by paul

mike. we love moments of history and it was that on the south coast and a first taste of european football for brighton fans. it was something many thought they'd never see, and it does take some adjusting too as the team found out on the pitch. the seagulls were beaten 3—2 at home by aek athens who rained on brighton's parade. and they led twice. two penalties from joao pedro enabled brighton to level both times and they were then favourites, to win it — but couldn't take their chances. it was athens who took all three points, late on. it is only the first europa league group match, and the brighton boss said his team must be smarter. liverpool are favourites to win the europa league and got off to a winning start — but not without a scare against austrian side lask — falling behind early on. they did recover with three second half goals — mohammed salah with the last of them. people expect us to fly through this

competition. it will not happen. it will not happen in the group stage or at this stage. we have to dig into it and that is what we did. we are a massive learning curve tonight. the opponent suffered much less from the pitch than we did. we had the ball more often but besides that we had to get used to it so we can learn so much. victory too for west ham, the winners of last season's europa conference league. that meant they could upgrade to the europa league and they came from behind to beat serbian side backa topola 3—1. new signing mohammed kudus, getting his first goal for the club. and a win too for scottish side rangers — a victory that eases the pressure on manager michael beale. they won 1—0 at ibrox — beating spanish side real betis. abdallah sima with the goal. it was a bad night for the two british sides in this season's europa conference league. in their first european match in 13 years, aston villa twice came from behind

but still lost 3—2 against legia warsaw, in poland. the villa manager, ubnai emery, saying it was a learning curve for his side. and defeat too for aberdeen as they were beaten in germany, losing 2—1 against eintracht frankfurt in aberdeen's first appearance in a european group stage for 15 years. it's a huge fortnight in golf with europe taking on the usa in one of sport's great rivalries. the battle for the women's solheim cup is under way, with the men's ryder cup next weekend. the solheim cup is in southern spain and team europe are aiming to win the event for a third time in a row — something they've never done before. usa had the honour of teeing off first. you can watch highlights on bbc two tonight at 7 o clock. tonight at 7 o'clock. after serving a four match ban, england captain owen farrell will come straight back into the team for their next rugby union world cup match. farrell will play at fly—half for saturday's pool

match with chile with head coach steve borthwick making 12 changes in total. fellow fly—half marcus smith will play at full back, whilst george ford drops to the bench. he was the hero against argentina. ireland are also back in action, tomorrow, against the defending champions south africa. andy farrell has made just one change to the team that beat tonga — with jamison gibson—park replacing conor murray. wales and scotland both play on sunday. the rugby union world cup hosts france have been dealt a potentially massive blow. they have made it three wins out of three, after demolishing minnows namibia 96—0. but that victory could come at a huge cost. the french were ruthless on the easiest of nights in marseille. damian penaud with a hat—trick. but captain and 2021 world player of the year, antoine dupont,

was taken off with a head injury, after a red card tackle from namibia's captain. there are fears it could be a fractured jaw and that would almost certainly rule him out of the tournament. it's the most exciting finale to a rugby league super league season this century, with three teams all vying to finish top of the league in the final set of matches tonight. this will be the end of the regular season, before the play—offs decide the champions. reigning champions st helens start the day in 3rd, but are only behind catalans dragons and leaders wigan on points difference. so there are so many permutations. st helens host hull fc in the easiest looking game on paper. the dragons are at salford, while wigan are away to leigh. radio 5 live sports extra will have full coverage of the games that decide who will lift the league leaders' shield. and finally, if you're a parent, you need to be able to multi—task — but at one major league baseball match, one dad proved he was a proper champion at it. a huge home run from philadelphia phillies star

saw this ball heading to the crowd — and it was this fan who stole the headlines as he took a one—handed catch whilst holding his daughter. his reward? a signed baseball from the braves. he does not even disturb his daughter and enjoyment of the lollipop. incredible. she has her priorities in the right place. you were talking about the rugby. scotland has announced its team and i know you will look at that. here's simon. good morning. you were going to talk about the equinox. i was getting confused with my dates. we were talking about how i do not like it but i was thinking it might be the longest... sure to stay. are you still confused? and the 21st of october.

clocks go back. full back, spring forward. the equinoxes when the sun, we start to be pointed away from the sun. it means nights become longer than days. there is another reason you do not like it. because we get up in the dark and do that all the time. before we get to the equinox on saturday morning, a lovely start in devon. some lovely sunrise pictures sent in. the cloud bills and with showers moving through. a mixture of sunny spells and showers. i start with the satellite because it shows a good picture of the next few days. today we have cloud. sunny spells and showers. a window of fine weather, clear skies on saturday and on sunday, hurricane nigel, but by the time it reaches us it will not be a hurricane but wet and windy

weather on sunday. today, showers in northern and western areas drift south and east. by this afternoon all at some point could catch a shower. sunny spells between. windy in the north—east of scotland. 13—18 the range of temperatures. tonight, this is the bump in the pressure pattern that sinks the air. it means the cloud and showers clear. overnight it could be cold, especially in central scotland with temperatures down to 3—4. even towards the capital, temperatures in single figures. on saturday, a cold start but a lovely start. a lot of sunshine. showers in norfolk and suffolk. they should clear. later, we will see cloud increasing across northern ireland, south—west england. maximum temperatures on saturday 14—18. thank you.

nhs bosses have apologised after an elderly cancer patient was wrongly discharged to a stranger's home, where she spent the night alone. joyce wright, who is 83, was in hospital after a fall but was mistaken for another patient, taken to their empty house by ambulance and left there. jessica lane has more on this. the fact is that she slept in somebody else's bed, unattended. it should never ever have happened. andy is on the phone to his mp. he wants her help getting answers from boston pilgrim hospital in from boston pilgrim hospital and the east midlands ambulance service about what happened to his mum this week. she is 83 years old. she has bowel cancer. she is on palliative care, she has limited mobility. the fact that she is in a property she is unfamiliar with. she did not even know where the toilet is. what goes through my mind as her son is the fact we could have

been having a totally different conversation now. on monday, joyce had a fall and was taken to hospital. she and andy were expecting them to help arrange for carers to come to help her more at home. they weren't expecting the phone call that andy received. is that mr wright? i said yes, speaking. unfortunately, your mum has been discharged. i was in shock. i said what do you mean? she should not be discharged yet and i am the next of kin. the reply i got, you misunderstood, what we are trying to say is your man was taken from the hospital by mistake. it should have been another patient. your mum has been taken to the other patient�*s address. how is your mum now? she is ok, comfortable. we have the pain relief sorted. i said i understand you have had a jaunt. she said yes, pity it was not last week, the sun was shining. and she made me

necessarily blame one person. i do not blame the nurses, the ambulance staff. i blame the procedures in place. something has happened and it is a result of the pressure everyone is a result of the pressure everyone is under. : :, , :, :, , , is under. and he wants more answers about how the — is under. and he wants more answers about how the mix-up _ is under. and he wants more answers about how the mix-up happened - is under. and he wants more answers about how the mix-up happened and| about how the mix—up happened and promises that it will not happen again. joyce is now receiving the care and medication she needs and a proper plan will be put in place for when she is discharged once more to the correct house. stargazers will have their eyes on the skies above the us state of utah this weekend, where a very special capsule is due to land on earth from space. it contains rocks and dust from an asteroid, which took four years to reach — and that could give vital clues about the formation of our planet,

more than four billion years ago. our science editor rebecca morelle has the details. asteroid bennu, a 500m wide rock hurtling through space. with its boulder—strewn terrain, it tops nasa's list of space rocks that pose a danger to our planet. but it could also shed light on our very beginnings. so nasa decided to get up close and personal with it. after a two—year journey captured on camera, this was the moment the osiris—rex spacecraft collected a sample in a smash and grab that lasted just five seconds. these bits of bennu were safely stowed in a capsule, and now they're heading back to earth. we're looking at material that existed before our planet did, before the origin of life. in fact, some of it may have been from even before the solar system formed. so we're looking at the beginning of our story. how did our solar system form, how did asteroids come together? and did asteroids like bennu literally make

the earth a habitable world? bennu literally make for the landing site, they've chosen a vast wilderness. after travelling for billions of miles through space, the capsule is going to land somewhere over here in the utah desert. scientists think there's about 250 grams of rock and dust inside. it doesn't sound like much. just a handful or so. but every single grain of this is precious. and scientists will study it to reveal the story of our solar system. the return won't be easy. the capsule will speed through the earth's atmosphere at more than 27,000 mph, experiencing temperatures of 3,000 degrees, before descending down to the ground slowed by parachutes. beeping. the nasa team has been practising in the desert, working out the best way to recover the craft after it comes down. the most important thing is to keep the extraterrestrial material

inside free from contamination. of course, we study meteorites here on earth and there's a lot we can learn from those meteorites. but they have gone through earth's atmosphere and potentially had some contamination from earth. so that's why we need a pristine sample from an asteroid. bennu's already thrown up some surprises — it's not a solid rock, it's a loosely held—together pile of rubble. and some surprising people have also been involved in the mission along the way. sir brian may helped the team to choose the best place to take a sample, by making stereoscopic 3d images of bennu. i think originally 30 different sites were selected as possibilities, but some were rejected because the boulders were too big, some were rejected because it was actually too small to navigate into. some because the materials you were going to get weren't going to be nice enough. interesting.

and the material that we were able to supply, i think, just enabled them to tip the balance to actually make those final decisions. all eyes are now on this patch of utah desert, ready for the landing. the hope is this mission could answer that most profound question — where did we come from? rebecca morrell, bbc news, utah. rebecca morrelle, bbc news, utah. we'rejoined now by dr sarah crowther, a planetary scientist at the university of manchester. lam i am excited. me too. this spacecraft _ i am excited. me too. this spacecraft has _ i am excited. me too. this spacecraft has been - i am excited. me too. this spacecraft has been to - i am excited. me too. this spacecraft has been to an | i am excited. me too. this - spacecraft has been to an asteroid. a smash and grab. it collected the material and is bringing it back to earth to study and try to understand more about the asteroid and wider solar system. more about the asteroid and wider solar system-— more about the asteroid and wider solar system. what is in this smash and crab solar system. what is in this smash and grab bit. _ solar system. what is in this smash and grab bit. a _ solar system. what is in this smash and grab bit, a tidy _ solar system. what is in this smash and grab bit, a tidy amount, - solar system. what is in this smash and grab bit, a tidy amount, that i and grab bit, a tidy amount, that you are hoping to see? labile and grab bit, a tidy amount, that you are hoping to see?— you are hoping to see? we think asteroids like _

recorded his show. he has denied any wrongdoing. graham satchell reports. russell brand is facing a series of sexual assault allegations, including rape and emotional abuse. the latest is said to have happened in this building in los angeles in 2008, where the broadcaster was recording an episode of his radio 2 programme. a woman, who the bbc is calling olivia, claims brand exposed himself to her in this bathroom. brand then laughed about the alleged incident minutes later on his show with his co—host, matt morgan. what made the bbc think that was appropriate to go out like that? ijust don't understand why they didn't investigate this much sooner, given the raunchy, outrageous bits. in a statement, the bbc said... russell brown's co—presenter at the time, matt morgan, has also issued a statement. he says...

it's the russell brand show and here's your host, i am. the latest claims follow an investigation by the sunday times and channel 4's dispatches programme, in which four women allege they were sexually assaulted by russell brand between 2006 and 2013. he has denied those claims but has not responded to this latest allegation. graham satchell, bbc news. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson is outside bbc headquarters in london. morning to you. it has been about a week, hasn't it, since these stories, these allegations have been coming out? how does this fit into

that pattern? the coming out? how does this fit into that pattern?— coming out? how does this fit into that pattern? the bbc has said the new allegations _ that pattern? the bbc has said the new allegations will _ that pattern? the bbc has said the new allegations will feature - that pattern? the bbc has said the new allegations will feature into i new allegations will feature into the inquiry over russell brand while he was presenter at the bbc between 2006 and 2008. the inquiry will be looking at you knew what and when. were complaints raised against russell brand at the time however they acted upon? when it comes to they acted upon? when it comes to the allegations, they want to speak to the women in la who has raised them and speak to people working in them and speak to people working in the la bureau at that time. this is happening around the industry as well. not one but two investigations into the behaviour of russell brand when he was presenting a big brother spin off show, one from channel 4 and the otherfrom spin off show, one from channel 4 and the other from the production company which now owns and all, he made that programme. —— owns endemol. we have seen his tour

cancelled, he was supposed to be playing at plymouth tonight. he was also meant to be the headline act out a well—being festival. youtube will not monetise content from russell brand any more, meaning he can no longer make money from it. russell brand has denied these allegations and said all his relationships were consensual. thank ou very much. there is a story of hope, medical advancement and a lovely little girl, who has benefited. a really important scientific breakthrough. let me explain. an eight—year—old girl has become the first child in the uk to receive a kidney transplant without needing to take drugs to stop her body rejecting it. the child received both stem cells and a kidney transplant from her mother, which meant her body accepted the new organ. here's more from our medical editor fergus walsh. aditi's health has been transformed by a double transplant, thanks to her mum and a team

at great 0rmond street hospital in london. she has an extremely rare genetic condition, which weakened her immune system and meant her kidneys were failing. so doctors took an unusual approach. first, aditi had a bone marrow transplant, using stem cells from her mum. this rebuilt aditi's immune system. six months later, she had a kidney transplant, again donated by her mother and her immune system accepted the organ as her own. her immune deficiency had to be corrected by having mum's bone marrow first, and because aditi was able to engraft and accept her mum's bone marrow, that therefore meant that her body could then see her mum's kidney when it was transplanted as being part of her. within weeks of the transplant, aditi was taken off immunosuppression, which means she doesn't risk

the long term side effects of these powerful drugs, which usually have to be taken daily to prevent organ rejection. the family is delighted. ifeel so happy, actually, as i then... i've given the blood cells and the kidney. so happy. yes, of course. i feel perfectly 0k, yes. i'm so proud of her. and she is amazing. she's doing very fine each and every day. and most of the support, i would say, is from from her side. because if she was someone who was bogged down by the procedures, or what she listens to on the ward, it could have been much more difficult for us. on the other hand, she was the one who was actually more outgoing. aditi is back at school and both her immune system and transplanted kidney are working normally. the procedure is unlikely to be widely used, as the double transplant carries increased risks to the patient.

fergus walsh, bbc news. us presidentjoe biden has told ukraine's volodymyr zelensky that extra support for his fight against the russian invasion will arrive next week. he promised new american battle tanks but not the requested missiles when the pair met at the white house. president zelensky then travelled to canada for an unnannounced visit, his first since the war started in february last year. police in new york have discovered a large quantity of drugs — including the opioid fentanyl — in a nursery where a one—year—old boy died last week. more than a dozen bags were hidden beneath a trapdoor at the day centre where nicholas dominici died of a suspected overdose. king charles and queen camilla will end their state visit to france with a trip to bordeaux today. the three—day visit has already seen king charles meet with footballers and address

the senate — the upper house of the french parliament. the royal couple also attended a formal banquet at versailles. she's known for lighting up the dancefloor but strictly professional amy dowden is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer — and she's been documenting her journey on social media. this week, she took what she called the "hardest step" of her treatment so far, as will batchelor reports. amy dowden at home, surrounded by her family and friends. one by one, they cut off a lock of her hair. as each member of herfamily takes their turn, you can see the emotional impact it's having. amy is 33. she's been a dancer on strictly since 2017. she was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year and has been charting the course of her illness on social media. in a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, often it feels like you don't have control through how you'll respond to the treatment. everything that you have to go

through, how your body changes. but her shaving her hair off is her sign of saying, "i'm taking control and i'm going to put the time frame of when my hair comes out," rather than it feeling like it'sjust happening to her. as the final lock of hair is cut away, amy posted online that she wanted to help others to share the truth and bring normality to what she called a beautiful bald head. she described this moment as a hurdle she'd not even been able to think about, but says now she feels proud to have taken control. will batchelor, bbc news. we wish amy well as she continues with her treatment. the prevalence of cctv cameras has long been a source for debate. some would argue they create a surveillance society, which erodes personal privacy. on the other hand, they also let us see when a man gets hit

in the head by a pigeon. classic! this is the moment when michael speirs, from nottingham, was dive—bombed on his way into a shop. he said it was "like being whacked full pelt with a feathered pillow" and that, in his opinion, the video was "comedy gold" and too good not to share. as you can see the pitch and trots off merrily, quite happily. he is also unhurt. how do you know when a pigeon is happy? it looks very happy. itjust trots off. i think michael was a little bruised. i love the various camera angles. best cctv. here we go. there is a better angle, this is it. wait for it! boom! brought me untold joy this

morning, honestly has. he stands there for ages, wattana hasjust happened? i am there for ages, wattana hasjust happened? lam not there for ages, wattana hasjust happened? i am not sure if he is rubbing his hair better or he is perplexed and confused. best video of the day. you are challenging the images here. i looked at that picture and thought it was just like a painting. gorgeous. from kent this morning. some shallow cloud starting to build up on the coast this morning. the colours are amazing. tell is a good story. we have a fine start to the day for many of us. the clouds building up in the sky. a case of sunny spells and showers. the showers will come and go as the day goes on. you might even catch a rainbow or two like we saw yesterday. on the satellite image, a really good picture as to what will happen over the next couple of days.

todayit happen over the next couple of days. today it is a case of the swell of cloud in the north—east of the uk giving an unsettled feel. then this clearer window, cloudless skies. that is saturday's weather, sunday is this one here. hurricane nigel will weaken considerably before it needs close to our shores. it will be an ex hurricane. today scattered showers in the north and west this morning will drift their way. sunny spells in between. at some point all of us could catch a shower. showers in the far north—east of scotland. maximum 12, 13. in the south—east, 15 to 18. tonight this is there when of fine weather. a ridge of high pressure. the clouds disappear and i will be clear skies to take us into saturday morning, which does mean it will be quite chilly first thing on saturday. temperatures three to 4 degrees in central areas, eight to nine further south. a great start to

the weekend. saturday is a better day of the weekend. with this sunshine the crowd increases. a bit of rain later on in the day. sunday will be wet and windy. a longer forecast in about half an hour. thank you. the radio dj and tv star roman kemp has spoken openly for several years about his own mental health issues and the need to get more help for young people. earlier this week, he posted an open letter on social media and received a response from a government health minister, maria caulfield, saying she'd like all school pupils in england to have access to a mental health support team. let's see the scale of the problem. according to the latest nhs figures, nearly 70,000 people aged 19 and under in england were referred to child and adolescent mental health services in april 2021.

that's up 109% — more than double pre—pandemic levels. and between 2021 and 2022, almost 200,000 young people aged 10 to 19 took antidepressants. roman joins us now. morning. good to see you. we should explain where morning. good to see you. we should explain where you morning. good to see you. we should explain where you are. morning. good to see you. we should explain where you are. you morning. good to see you. we should explain where you are. you put morning. good to see you. we should explain where you are. you put a pause in your programme to be able to talk to us. thank you very much. i am playing the songs as we speak. all good to chat. tbs, i am playing the songs as we speak. all good to chat.— all good to chat. a lot of good multitasking _ all good to chat. a lot of good multitasking going _ all good to chat. a lot of good multitasking going on. - all good to chat. a lot of good multitasking going on. on - all good to chat. a lot of good multitasking going on. on a i all good to chat. a lot of good i multitasking going on. on a more serious subject, you posted this open letter. what were you hoping to achieve by posting that? where were you coming from in that moment? in you coming from in that moment? i“i the letter i have posted, as you were talking about those statistics, more than doubling, over 109% in terms of people asking for that help for children. what the current system, how it is, it is incredibly

difficult for children to have access to any form of mental health. sometimes the best form of help they can have is in their own school. they are in schools all time. mental health support team in a school is something like gold dust at the minute. it is a mental health professional to help with teachers, parents, it can help the people directly and alleviate some of the waiting time lists we are seeing as well. you are accessing the problem straightaway. the current people in power, they were like, 0k, we are going to roll out mental support teams. our going to roll out mental support teams. 0urtarget going to roll out mental support teams. our target for how many we want to see was 36%. that means 36% of schools in the uk will have a mental health support team. a target in my opinion should always be 100%. we should be looking to provide that to every child. you cannot divvy it

up. how can you decide? my open letter went out and i was asking to move that target from 36% to 100%. tell people your goal is to do that in every single school. that is what i was asking for. shortly after that letter went out, a new target was posted and that target was then 50%. that, to me, still isjust so horrendously disappointing, as he mentioned before. iwrote horrendously disappointing, as he mentioned before. i wrote this open letter to all mps and government and the mental health minister, maria caulfield, she obviously came back and has responded to me in the last week, both publicly on twitter and also privately. i also, the letter she did reply with and the things she did reply with and the things she did reply with and the things she did come back and say, i cannot help but say i am not heavily disheartened and disappointed by her response, given that technically

they are saying, yes, we are happy with 50%. that, to me, is crushing once again. it means one in two children are going to miss out on very important care. and that was my main problem with it. i am still pushing for that 100% promise. interesting. we are looking at that letter. it is a stark reminder of the work that needs to be done. maria caulfield is saying, i would like to see all pupils in schools in england having access to a mental health support team. we have also said uc very little point meeting with her unless they are not going to change that target. is that right? i to change that target. is that riuht? , :, :, , :, right? i try to meet maria before and it was _ right? i try to meet maria before and it was not _ right? i try to meet maria before and it was not allowed _ right? i try to meet maria before and it was not allowed to - right? i try to meet maria before i and it was not allowed to happen. she has asked me for that meeting. i feel like there is little point in meeting if her stance is, they are happy with 50%. then i need to go

somewhere else, clearly. i am happy with 50%. then i need to go somewhere else, clearly. lam having conversations with very, very senior mps from both parties about promising that 100%. it does look good. this is something that ministers out there, they do want to do, they want to be able to say our target is 100%. as i say, it is extremely disappointing and i think such a disservice to the children out there who require this help, to say to them, half of the country we will try to get you help. my main goal is to give people that hope can i say 100%. maria, goal is to give people that hope can isay100%. maria, if goal is to give people that hope can i say 100%. maria, if she is saying she wants it to be in all schools, why can't she tell us it will be 100%? that is what i am asking for. rehman, you have had a critically acclaimed film, a silent emergency, where you personally explore mental

health, mental health pressures and suicide as well. what response have you had from young people? we reach a morning audience with perhaps kids going to school and on your radio show you are perhaps reaching a different audience. what are they saying to you now the topic of mental health is spoken about much more? 9. . mental health is spoken about much more? :, , more? that is exactly it. it was really hard _ more? that is exactly it. it was really hard for _ more? that is exactly it. it was really hard for me _ more? that is exactly it. it was really hard for me to _ more? that is exactly it. it was really hard for me to bring i more? that is exactly it. it was really hard for me to bring out| more? that is exactly it. it was i really hard for me to bring out that film and have this whole thing of being open and talking about how we are feeling and seeing us as the british public getting so much better at being open about mental health, about asking twice, our people 0k? really checking in with one another. i was always seeing those numbers getting higher and higher and his seemingly getting worse and worse. i was not flipping those numbers on their head. as the general public, we are doing our bit. young people in this country are doing their bit. all we have askedis are doing their bit. all we have asked is for them to talk more and

be more open. now we are saying, we have spoken more and being more open. now it is time for the people in power to provide that help. if we leave these people we are leaving them hopeless.— leave these people we are leaving them hopeless. good to talk to you. thank ou them hopeless. good to talk to you. thank you so — them hopeless. good to talk to you. thank you so much _ them hopeless. good to talk to you. thank you so much for— them hopeless. good to talk to you. thank you so much for coming i them hopeless. good to talk to you. thank you so much for coming on i thank you so much for coming on breakfast in the middle of your radio show. what song is on now? we are radio show. what song is on now? 9 are going to go into olivia rodrigo to bring the made up. i are going to go into olivia rodrigo to bring the made up.— to bring the made up. i love her. thank you _ to bring the made up. i love her. thank you for— to bring the made up. i love her. thank you for speaking _ to bring the made up. i love her. thank you for speaking to - to bring the made up. i love her. thank you for speaking to us i to bring the made up. i love her. thank you for speaking to us and taking that time. the potential consequences of poor mental health can be catastrophic. on average, around five young people take their own lives every day in the uk. we have heard roman talking about how he is impacted. breakfast�*sjohn maguire is with three mums, who all lost sons to suicide, and they're taking on a huge challenge in memory of their boys, and to raise awareness of the issue. morning, john. morning to you. they are going to

organisations and institutions which can help. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. police are appealing for help finding an essex mother and her two children who are missing. jamie—leigh kelly left a support centre for vulnerable mothers and children in north—west london on tuesday with her three—year—old daughter and newborn baby boy. they were collected by a blue ford fiesta which then drove away. police don't believe the children have been harmed. a man in his 50s has been arrested on suspicion of child abduction and conspiracy to kidnap. the mayor of london, sadiq khan, has announced who'll sit on new london policing board, which will oversee and scrutinise reform of the metropolitan police. among the 12 members are neil basu, the former met assistant commissioner and stuart lawrence, the brother of stephen lawrence. setting up the london policing board fulfils a key recommendation made by baroness casey in her review of the met�*s culture published earlier this year.

london schools have received thousand of pounds in grants to help improve music lessons. restore the music uk, a music education charity, has given over £200,000 in the capital as they say schools are under increasing financial pressure and their funding helps fill the gaps. kitting out a music department is one of the most expensive departments to furnish in a school. sadly, music funding is one of the first areas that gets cut in these schools. let's take a look at the tubes. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. just minor delays on the bakerloo line. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a bright if cool

start this morning. plenty of sunny spells around today, but also some scattered showers. now, it's dry first thing, but the cloud will start to bubble up as we head into the afternoon. and with that, those showers moving through on a northwesterly breeze. exposed areas — the chilterns — 15 celsius, so feeling cool. central london around 18 celsius. any showers this afternoon will fade into the evening. it's dry, it's clear, the wind a bit lighter, too. so one or two mist patches and cool — temperatures down to 6c, so a chilly start to the weekend. tomorrow, a ridge of high pressure builds, so it's fending off any fronts associated with that low pressure to the northwest of scotland. so it's fine and it's dry. we've got some sunshine for tomorrow. temperatures still on the cool side. we've got a maximum of around 17 or 18 celsius. but as we head into sunday, we pick up a southerly flow and the temperatures are actually going to get a bit warmer. plenty of sunshine around for sunday and, as you can see, temperatures into next week in the low 20s. london has one of the lowest take—up rates for measles vaccinations in country.

today on bbc london, we'll be talking to public health england about the disease. if you have any questions on measles, the vax programme or why your child should be vaccinated — please e—mail. that's it. we're back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and naga munchetty. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. let's find out what they have in store with kimberley and mark. good morning. good morning. coming up good morning. good morning. coming up on the show. it is one of the world's most effective antibiotics but almost 3 million people are allergic to penicillin. dr but almost 3 million people are allergic to penicillin.— allergic to penicillin. dr ran' tells us howi allergic to penicillin. dr ran' tells us how a i allergic to penicillin. dr ran'

she covered a range of topics when she sat down with us from social media to the hazards of performing in plastic trousers. you look amazing. good to see you. i am lovina amazing. good to see you. i am loving the _ amazing. good to see you. i am loving the leather _ amazing. good to see you. i am loving the leather boot - amazing. good to see you. i —n loving the leather boot thing you are doing. it loving the leather boot thing you are doinr. , , , ., loving the leather boot thing you aredoina. ,, , ., are doing. it fixes stuff. i am so ha -

padam padam — are you surprised atjust how quickly it became big? # padam, padam, i hear it and i know. # i know you wanna take me home and get to know me close. # padam, padam. i reacted to the song — that was a song that came in. so i heard it as a demo and flipped the second i heard it. i was like, yes, when can i get my vocals on it? like, get me that song now. and we lived with it for about a year. i recorded my vocals in a hotel room, which i've done a lot of on this album, wherever i happened to be. but the way that it took off and just became this, er, thing.

and it's the first time in my career that i've been able to see it unfold right in front of me, day by day by day. padam padam — are you surprised atjust how big, how quickly it became big? so the whole tiktok thing, social media, you go back to when you first started, none of that. i'm just starting out really getting some traction with... i mean, i've got a very kind of intense following, but it is growing. # tenion! even if it was neighbours

hysteria time now, i mean i dread to think what myself, jason and guy would have got up to on tiktok. imean, can you imagine? would have been great actually. think of all the things when people didn't have camera phones that you could have got up to no one knew about. right, well, i know those things we've got up to. so they're in the vault. we'll leave them there. i think about seeing rick astley with a kylie t—shirt on. your very good friend, obviously. i see chris martin joining you when you went to glastonbury — because you couldn't go the first time because you were recovering from breast cancer. yeah. he did one of your songs as well. i feel there's a real affection for you from all types, all the genres there, regardless. how does that feel and do you recognise it? i do and it's so rewarding and from different artists, if they feel anything like i do, it might not be your style of music, but you just have —

i have deep respect for all artists because, you know, hey, there's a lot more difficultjobs out there. there's a lot more taxing, challenging, demandingjobs, but i know what this one takes. the thrill never goes away, does it? no, no, no. and i had the performance last weekend for radio 2 which was unreal. # i'm spinning around, move out of my way. # i know you're feeling me cos you like it like this. can i ask you a question about your outfit? yeah. it looked amazing. it did. how sweaty were those trousers? it was... let's put it this way, quick change was a struggle. necessary. i think it's my age now... a bit of profanity in the quick change and i'm going, "start clapping, do

something!" trying to, like, peel the outfit off and get into a catsuit after that. but hey, we got we got there. you have performed with some amazing artists. yes. who's still on the wish list? ooh, um. oh, god, all sorts of people. randomly, like david byrne, brandon flowers, harry styles. oh, that would be good. um... debbie harry. beyonce. i mean, honestly, it's such. . .whoever. do you have calls in? if you do have a wish list, do you have calls in with your people and there —— their people kind of going, hey, what about it one day? i don't know if any of them are aware of this, so here's the call. they are now. by the way, baby doll. ok, well, you and i are massive prince fans. huge, ridiculously huge prince fans.

you've had the chance to work with him. have you found the cassette yet that was sent to you when he took your lyrics and did magic with them? and i find this outrageous, kylie. it's scandalous. it is. it's got to be somewhere, the cassette. which i imagine... maybe it's not labelled. vegas — what can you tell me about it? i'm imagining showgirly, cabaret. i've seen i think it's modern—day art deco fantasy, which thrills me no end. yes, so as opposed to what i would have thought my vegas debut would have been, it's it's not a massive show. it's caps it at a thousand. it's really intimate. you're going to be super comfortable. there's booths and, you know, tables and the lamps and all of that stuff. so it's going to feel once you walk into the venue, which is called voltaire, it's already the experience. i'm just the star turn, but it should be an evening of experience.

so i'm trying to think from a bit of the study that i've done online, it's perhaps more like old vegas. and i've seen big shows in vegas which are fantastic, which are more traditional kind of arena venues. but this is very intimate. i mean, stage, long catwalk, tables and chairs. i'm going to be seeing the whites of everyone's eyes. but i think it's going to turn into studio 5a pretty quickly. it's going to escalate from kind of lounge vibes to whoop—whoop laser. so we're still putting a lot into the show in an intimate setting. kylie, when she first started, 17, 18. # i should be so lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky. # i should be so lucky in love. what would you say to that, kylie,

to make sure, because you're in a fantastic place now that you get here to this moment of happiness? oh, man. that's an emotional question, isn't it? iwould... aside from the throwaway answer, which is keep a diary, which i wish i had. i would say don't be so hard on yourself, believe. have fun along the way. but i'd like to at least advise her that it's ok, all these things are normal, what you're going through. and i'd say, hey, you're going to have a great time. it's not all going to be great, but, overall, it's going to be great. and i'd say you won't believe it — you are going to get to meet so many amazing people. you're going to sing incredible songs and you're going to play

a part in people's lives. so enjoy it and lucky you. so jealous you got to do that interview. she has been working really hard, as well. i was trying to work out a favourite, so many good songs. i have a list, charting the top ten songs. of her songs? i had 12 and could not narrow it down and i said you narrow it down and she struggled, really struggled. kylie's new album 'tension' is out today and you can watch her headline set from "radio 2 in the park" on the bbc iplayer. it's also on bbc two tomorrow night. from kylie to one of her backing dancers, mike. once upon a time. 2019, strictly launch show, all the contestants had

to dance around her. she could not really see my flicks and kicks because we had not learned anything then. you talk about dancing. the football last match. brighton making their first appearance football last match. brighton making theirfirst appearance in european football ever. it did not go to plan. it is very different. the atmosphere. brighton might be flying high in the premier league but on this historic night they discovered european football is something they will have to adjust to. their manager says they have to be smarter. the seagulls were strong favourites against aek athens, who are sixth in the greek league but they came and spoilt the brighton party winning 3—2. they led twice. two penalties from joao pedro enabled brighton to level both times and they were then fancied, to win it — but couldn't take their chances and it was athens who took all three points, late on. it is only the first europa league group match, so plenty of time to learn. liverpool are favourites to win this the europa league and got off to a winning start, but not without a fright,

against austrian side lask — falling behind early on. they did recover with three second—half goals — mo salah with the last of them. now because west ham won last season's europa conference league, they are now rewarded with a place in the europa league and they came from behind to beat serbian side, to beat serbian side backa topola 3—1. new signing mohammed kudus getting his first goal for the club. a europa league sigh of relief for the rangers boss. a victory that eases the pressure on manager michael beale. they won 1—0 at ibrox — beating spanish side real betis. abdallah sima with the goal. aston villa and aberdeen were also back in europe after long absences and will need to improve in this season's europa conference league. in their first european match in 13 years, aston villa twice came from behind — but still lost 3—2 against legia warsaw, in poland. defensive errors cost them. this group may have looked like a breeze to some, but villa now have work to do to prove their european credentials again.

and defeat too for aberdeen as they were beaten in germany — losing 2—1 against eintracht frankfurt in aberdeen's first appearance in a european group stage for 15 years. staying with football some really sad news. the sheffield united player maddy cusack has died at the age of 27. cusack had been at the club since 2019 and became the first player to reach 100 appearances for the women's team last season. she also worked as a marketing executive at the club, who said in a statement that they were devastated. our thoughts are with her family and friends, as well. onto golf. a huge fortnight for golf fans is under way, with the europe taking on the usa in one of sports great rivalries. the men's ryder cup begins a week today, with the battle for the women's solheim up is in full solheim cup is in full swing in southern spain. team europe are aiming to win the event for a third time in a row —

something they've never done before. usa had the honour of teeing off first and have the edge overall in the first four matches. now the european team, which is said to be the strongest ever, will later on feature scotland's gemma drybrough, who was a fan and cheering on her now captain, last time around. obviously four years ago, like you said, i was a spectator at gleneagles. so this is a very different experience. and i was definitely inspired when i went to watch the girls then winning there. and suzann, obviously and holing that winning putt. so it's pretty special her being my captain now. but yeah, it's nice to fly the flag for us. the rugby union world cup hosts, france, have been dealt a potentially massive blow. they have made it 3 wins out of 3, after demolishing minnows namibia 96—nil. but that victory could come at a huge cost. the french were ruthless on the easiest of nights in marseille. damian penaud with a hat—trick. but captain and 2021 world player of the year antoine dupont was taken off with a head injury after a red card tackle from namibia's captain.

there are fears it could be a fractured jaw and that would almost certainly rule him out of the tournament super league season this century, with 3 teams all vying to finish top of the league, in the final set of matches tonight. this will be the end of the regular season, before the play offs decide the champions. the reigning champions st helens start the day in 3rd, but are only behind catalans dragons and leaders wigan on points difference. there are so many permutations. st helens host hull fc, in the easiest looking game on paper. radio 5 live sports extra will have full coverage of the games that decide who will lift the league leaders shield... max verstappen is back

where he has been for most of the season, out in front at practice for the japanese grand prix. verstappen has a huge 151 point lead over his teammate sergio perez in the standings heading into this weekend's race and is back on form after weekend's blip, in singapore. tday�*s session was ended early, when pierre gasly, lost control at the notorious degner two corner, locking a front wheel before sliding off track and ripping off a front wheel on the barrier. we told you we had a lot of good music for you on the programme today. wigan casino no longer exists in physicalform but its spirit certainly lives on in blackpool. our arts correspondent david sillito is there. david, i looked at the contract. definitely nothing in it about no dancing.

i have been making friends this morning. julian from chesterfield. over here, the duracell bunny. from preston. hayley. from blackpool over here. we have an original wigan casino dancer.— casino dancer. you were there originally- _ casino dancer. you were there originally. back _ casino dancer. you were there originally. back in _ casino dancer. you were there originally. back in 1975. - casino dancer. you were there originally. back in 1975. the i casino dancer. you were there - originally. back in 1975. the reason we are here — originally. back in 1975. the reason we are here is _ originally. back in 1975. the reason we are here is not _ originally. back in 1975. the reason we are here is not because - originally. back in 1975. the reason we are here is not because of- we are here is not because of anything... well, we are going back 50 years and wigan casino, was not the birth of northern soul but something very much in their hearts. and is essentially... well, if any club deserves the title legendary, it is wigan. here is the explanation

why. # do you want me to get down on my knees? # beg you, baby, please. # cry a million tears #. the fabled wigan casino in its '70s heyday and one of the few nights a camera was allowed in — for a film about young people who travelled from across the country to dance all night to what had become known as northern soul. i suddenly saw this amazing dancing going on and that was mesmerising. # what can i do when i still love you? entirely of their own invention, these kids had come up with something that was theirs, the focus of their week. different. take it easy, please! take it easy. - don't push! there is even a blue plaque to it, but the casino itself has long gone. in its place, as you can see, is a shopping centre. # do i love you? but while the casino is gone, many are still keeping the faith, such as gideon here and sandy.

i like to play the night by frankie valli and the four seasons. and they've still got it. # beware of this promise. it was a wednesday. when i first walked in, i was like, whoa! what was different about it when you walked in? it was just pulsating and the atmosphere was just amazing. yeah, you could feel it. and the hairs are standing up on my arm, literally, look. that feeling i get even now after how many decades? 45 years. i can't describe what he'sjust said there. 45 years. there'll never be another wigan casino — never ever. # and you know you're gonna lose more than you found. _ also in the film, young chris from leigh, who was a bit worried about telling her dad where she was going. i told my mum how much i liked it and she figured i'd want to go every week.

she says, "well, you're going to have to tell your dad because he's got an idea anyway," you know. but she said i'm not telling him. 45 years on, we tracked her down. did your dad ever approve of you going? well, he knew about it when he saw the film, didn't he? that showed you how bright i was! i'm not the sharpest knife in't box. do you miss those days? yeah, because it was special. once you get into northern, you don't lose it. it's like another family. once you're in, you're in for life. you're fantastic! nah, nah, nah. looking at those days, what was it like in there? oh, it was banging. like, you'd go and sweat

was dripping off the walls. and as soon as you walked through the door, you were on it. because the music was going poom—poom—poom. it didn't matter. how did you do it all night? yeah, well, some of us had a bit of help, but it's one of them. i'm not asking any questions. i saw that and i thought, i want to meet her, i want to meet her. you are a star and i found you, i found you. have i changed? nothing — nothing has changed. i've still not got a posh accent. # follow you around, everywhere in town. i northern soul — it wasn't just wigan, it was a family, a community. and, 50 years on, thousands are still keeping the faith.
