tv Breakfast BBC News October 30, 2023 6:00am-9:01am GMT
6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. fears for the crowded gaza hospital close to some of the heaviest shelling as israel intensifies its strikes against hamas. more trucks carrying aid are allowed into the territory from egypt. but aid agencies say it's nowhere near what's needed each day. friends and family of matthew perry talk of their heartbreak at the death of the actor as hollywood stars pay tribute. are we paying too much for petrol at the pumps? new calls this morning for supermarkets to cut their prices amid claims they're not passing on a cut in costs. in sport, a fired up erling haaland sees city steal the honours on derby day in manchester to leave united feeling blue.
6:01 am
good morning, we are in a very, very muqqy good morning, we are in a very, very muggy farm in detract for a perfect lesson in pumpkin carving. we would love to see yours soaping your pumpkins in good or bad, we will be having a go. weather—wise, fairly quiet in the next couple of days, by comparison by the end of the next week, we could see dora me, storm ciaran pushing and affecting the far south of —— we could see quite stormy weather. it's monday the 30th of october. our main story. israel has continued its heavy bombardment of gaza overnight, as it targets hamas in areas that are also crowded with civilians. aid workers say israel has ordered the evacuation of the al quds hospital in gaza, where14,000 people are sheltering and 400 seriously ill patients are being treated. areas near the hospital have already been hit by air strikes.
6:02 am
more than 30 trucks carrying food and supplies entered southern gaza yesterday, which is the largest humanitarian aid convoy to the territory since limited deliveries were allowed more than a week ago. the un says much more is needed. israel is attacking hamas, designated a terrorist organisation by many western governments, after it killed moo israelis, and took more than 200 hostage, on october 7th. our international editor jeremy bowen sent this report. people are living in the ruins in gaza. the israelis insist that they hit hamas targets, who use civilians as human shields. america said it has sent israel another reminder that hamas are legitimate military targets, and civilians are not. in gaza, the un fears civil order is breaking down. its food warehouses
6:03 am
in the south were looted. the desperation comes from israel's siege, which the un says violates the laws of war because it's a collective punishment of civilians. thousands of people ransacked the warehouses. israel says there is no food shortage in gaza. he is saying, "we have no flour, no water, not even toilets. 0ur houses were destroyed, no—one cares about us. we appeal to the people of the world, the big powers are against us. we need aid. we wouldn't have done this if we weren't in need." translation: we need fresh water. we need food. we are starving. this is totally unfair. our children can't sleep. further north in gaza city, after patients and staff refused israel's order to evacuate al-quds hospital, the wards filled with smoke as
6:04 am
buildings nearby were hit. only a few miles away, in sderot, the closest israeli town to gaza, a sense of grim determination has replaced the panic of the first few days after the hamas attacks. eyal hajbi, sderot�*s head of security, said his nephew and some of his team were killed by hamas. a visiting general, nimrod aloni, was greeted like a man back from the dead. 0n the 7th of october, hamas made the false claim that they had captured aloni and taken him into gaza. hajbi said they were all still trying to process the horror of what happened. the security chief took me on a tour of sderot�*s defences. hamas, he said, had hit them hard. the equation had to change, and if palestinian civilians suffered, it was not israel's fault. translation: we allowed them
6:05 am
to come and work in israel, - and we thought this would help the ordinary people of gaza. we thought a good economy would bring some peace. but now we know that only security brings peace. after 20 rounds of war with hamas and islamichhad, this needs to be a story that ends here. our eyes were closed, he said, and we lost everything. israel's dead are still being identified. hajbi says he can't face any more funerals. night and day, israel's ground war to destroy hamas gathers pace. it is reverberating around the region. the risks of a wider middle east war remain. jeremy bowen, bbc news in southern israel. we in southern israel. just wanted to tell you this morning we just wanted to tell you this morning more news. more than 60 people have been arrested after a mob, some shouting anti—semitic slogans and waving palestine flags,
6:06 am
stormed an airport in the russian republic of dagestan. the crowd ran through terminal buildings, apparently seeking passengers who had arrived on a flight from tel aviv. dramatic images have come into the bbc. people storming the airport try to find those passengers. russian officials said the situation was under control. we can show you some live pictures we are getting from gaza, these are coming in from the israel side looking into southern gaza. it has been another night of heavy bombardments. the statement we have just had in from the israel defence forces say that they hit a 600 hamas targets yesterday, sunday, compares with 450 targets yesterday, sunday, compares with a50 they struck on saturday, they said. an increase in the number
6:07 am
of attacks. as that continued israeli bombardment continued from the air, but also that ground incursion we have seen as well friday and saturday. throughout the programme we will hear from our correspondents both inside gaza and on the border in israel. let's speak to wyre davies injerusalem. just seeing those pictures, we see that the attacks have continued to gaza through the night.— through the night. yes, israel's o eration through the night. yes, israel's operation had _ through the night. yes, israel's operation had clearly _ through the night. yes, israel's operation had clearly stepped l through the night. yes, israel's l operation had clearly stepped up. tanks on the ground are staying in gaza. perhaps not the full—scale military incursion that many people had predicted or expected but it clearly is, as the israelis have been saying for the last couple of days, stage two of the operation.
6:08 am
israel say they are targeting specific hamas targets, the network of tunnels that go underneath god —— gaza city where according to israel hamas has it control headquarters and they are naming specific commanders who they say they are responsible for the atrocities october seven, when ia00 israelis were killed when hamas gunmen streamed across the border. the problem is, there is clearly a lot of collateral damage particularly in northern gaza, notjust buildings but a lot of civilians being killed as well. ~ , ., ., but a lot of civilians being killed as well. ~ , . ., ., ., as well. wyre we hear that more aid has been allowed _ as well. wyre we hear that more aid has been allowed into _ as well. wyre we hear that more aid has been allowed into gaza, - as well. wyre we hear that more aid has been allowed into gaza, but - as well. wyre we hear that more aid has been allowed into gaza, but the j has been allowed into gaza, but the charities and agencies working there say they desperately need a lot more than that. we say they desperately need a lot more than that. ~ ,': :: n say they desperately need a lot more than that. ~ ,': :: . _, than that. we saw 30 trucks coming across the southern _ than that. we saw 30 trucks coming across the southern border - than that. we saw 30 trucks coming across the southern border with - across the southern border with egypt yesterday at the rafah crossing. aid agencies say they need 100 trucks per day and probably more than that. the other issue is
6:09 am
israelis are only allowing in basic aid, medicine, food and water. the agencies say they also need fuels so the hospitals and desalination plants can operate as normal. israel will not allow fuel in because it said it will be stolen by hamas. israel has been coming under increasing international pressure even from its closest allies, the uk and the us, to have a pause to allow humanitarian aid in, open up humanitarian aid in, open up humanitarian aid in, open up humanitarian aid corridor. the one thing israel will not agree to it a ceasefire to allow that to happen. israel says its priority remains its military operation to crush hamas. there are international calls for a humanitarian pause. there will be another motion at the united nations security council later on today. that is unlikely to pass because the americans will side with the israelis and will not call for a ceasefire but the pressure on the humanitarian agencies and the people

of gaza, 1.2 million internally displaced people in gaza at the minute, the pressure on them is immense. minute, the pressure on them is immense-— minute, the pressure on them is immense. ~ , , ., ~ ., immense. wyre davies, thank you for that u date immense. wyre davies, thank you for that update from _ immense. wyre davies, thank you for that update from jerusalem. - immense. wyre davies, thank you for that update from jerusalem. sally - that update from jerusalem. sally can tell us what else we need to know this morning. doctors investigating the death of the friends actor matthew perry say they need to make further tests before a cause can be given. the 5a—year—old was found in the hot tub of his los angeles home on saturday, prompting initial reports he had drowned, but the la county medical examiner says additional investigations are needed. meanwhile, fans have been laying flowers both at his home and in new york, where friends was filmed, as louisa pilbeam reports. i went to that tanning place your wife suggested. was that place...the sun?! as chandler, matthew perry was the friend with the driest sense of humour who often got the biggest laughs. someone at work ate my sandwich. well, what did the police say?
6:11 am
the actor was found dead in his hot tub at his la home by emergency services on saturday. those who worked with him posted tributes on social media. hank azaria, who played phoebe's love interest david, saying perry was even funnier than his character. you know, a girl calls you by her ex—boyfriend's name, that's not a good thing, right? david, let me let me stop you there, because i think i see where this is going. i'm not very good at giving advice. azaria said unlike chandler, perry was good at advice, wanting to help others with drink and drug addiction that he struggled so deeply with. he was just, as a sober person, he was so caring and giving and wise, and he totally helped me get sober. and i really wish he could have... you know, found the, found it in himself to stay with the sober life more consistently.
6:12 am
among other tributes, this from singer adele. one of my friends, andrew, when i was like 12, did the best chandler impression. and he would do it all the time to make us laugh. and if any of us were having a bad day orfeeling low, he would just pretend to be chandler. and i remember that character for the rest of my life. fans laid flowers outside his home where the star died and spoke about how they will remember him. i know he didn't want to be remembered as the friend, the show from friends, but it's impossible, how could you not? he was friends. and so many people who followed his career will feel the same. it is the role that millions love him for and how they will remember him too. senior government advisers involved in the government's response during the pandemic are set to appear at the covid inquiry this week, in what could be a series of explosive hearings.
6:13 am
martin reynolds, the former principal private secretary to mrjohnson when he was prime minister, will give evidence today, as will former number ten director of communications lee cain. former chief advisor dominic cummings will give evidence tomorrow. coastguards are searching for a man who went missing in the sea in somerset. he was trying to help a woman and her dog who were swept into the water at burnham—on—sea near weston—super—mare but they managed to get out safely. an inquest into the death of gracie spinks is due to start this morning. the 23—year—old was attacked in a field in derbyshire in 2021, where she'd gone to look after her horse. a former work colleague believed to be responsible was found dead nearby. gracie's parents, alison heaton and richard spinks, spoke to breakfast after her death in 2021. yeah, she was a ray of sunshine, a beautiful young woman at the beginning of her life, her adult life. she mapped out what she wanted to do. she was passionate
6:14 am
about animals and horses. swimming, she loved swimming, didn't she? she was a talented singer, played the piano, beautiful artist. she loved musical theatre. she lit up the room wherever she went. everybody loved gracie. fun, very fun, happy girl and she was the life and soul of our house. we're so proud of her. really proud. i can't believe she's gone. and i don't think we'll ever accept that or believe it. you know, our lives changed that morning. but if, if some good comes out of this and we can change things and make the world a better place, you know, we've got to carry that baton and run with it now and make that change. portuguese police have told bbc panorama they have apologised to the parents of madeleine mccann for the way they handled the case. three—year—old madeleine went missing during a family holiday in portugal in 2007. her parents were initially questioned as suspects. richard bilton reports. the summer of 2007 was
6:15 am
dominated by a missing girl. words cannot describe the anguish and despair that we are feeling as the parents of our beautiful daughter, madeleine. how do you feel, kate? and an investigation that shifted towards her parents, paraded in front of a police station on the portuguese algarve. kate and gerry mccann have both been today declared arguido, with no bail condition. her parents have long been cleared of their suspect status, but 16 years later, madeleine remains lost. now the policia judiciaira, the investigative branch of the portuguese police who accused madeleine's parents of staging an abduction and hiding their daughter's body, have said sorry. the bbc has been told that officers from the pj traveled to the united kingdom. they met madeleine mccann�*s
6:16 am
father, gerry, and they apologised face to face. the pj told panorama the apology is for the way portuguese detectives handle the case and treated the family. it was an apology for the past. this pj is very different from the pj that was in charge in 2007. i'm sure they are trying to do their best. this story is a story of a family that was destroyed in portugal and has the right to live their life even without their daughter the best way they can. the portuguese officers also told the mccanns they think this man is the prime suspect. christian brueckner, who's already in jail for rape, is under investigation by german prosecutors. they've been building a case against him for five years, but he hasn't been charged. from what you've seen, you're sure she's dead? yeah. where was she killed, do you think she killed in portugal or elsewhere in portugal?
6:17 am
she died in portugal. so the portuguese police have apologized to the mccann family for the way they treated the mccann family and for the way they carried out the investigation in the early days. what do you think about that? that's a good sign. christian brueckner has denied murdering madeleine mccann. his lawyer says the case against him is lacking in substance. there has been no comment from the mccann family. they now have an apology from the force that accused them, but still no resolution to their search. richard bilton, bbc news. prime suspect: who took madeleine mccann? is on bbc one at 8pm tonight and it's available on iplayer now. heavy rainfall has caused widespread flooding in several areas over the weekend. there is a warning there is more to come _ there is a warning there is more to come this— there is a warning there is more to come this week as well. this was the scene in lanchester, county durham, where ten homes were evacuated and local shops

6:24 am
where he talked about his addiction to painkillers and alcohol, and going back and forth and dealing with depression. so we know what his demons were, but still it really came as a shock. he was one of the great guys in hollywood. i don't say that lightly because we live in the age of instagram and influences and everybody is a star now, but matthew perry was a star. i'm not surprised, a year or so perry was a star. i'm not surprised, a year orso ago, perry was a star. i'm not surprised, a year or so ago, he said, when he leaves this as, he doesn't want to be remembered for friends which is exactly how most people remember him because he was with the show for ten years but he really wanted to be known for helping people who battled some of the same demons he did with painkillers and addiction, he wanted to be a shining light to let them know that they could get over it and have a sober life. he know that they could get over it and have a sober life.— have a sober life. he had been very active in helping — have a sober life. he had been very active in helping people _ have a sober life. he had been very active in helping people very - active in helping people very proactively. active in helping people very proactively-— active in helping people very roactivel . , ., ., proactively. yes, he had a sober house that _ proactively. yes, he had a sober house that he _ proactively. yes, he had a sober house that he created _ proactively. yes, he had a sober house that he created and - proactively. yes, he had a sober house that he created and then | proactively. yes, he had a sober. house that he created and then he

staying up late for us. there are calls for retailers to do more to cut petrol prices, as the wholesale cost is falling. ben can tell us more. what's going on? it is the phenomenon of rocket and feather, prices go up and up like a rocket but full slowly like a feather. it never feels like the price at the pump is coming down does it, that despite the oil prices falling since the highs of early last year after russia's invasion of ukraine. now the most recent figures show the average price at uk forecourts is £1.55 for petrol and £1.62 for diesel. let's compare that to how much retailers are paying for what they sell to you. wholesale prices for petrol last week were £1.13 for petrol and £1.23 for diesel. that means after vat, for every litre of petrol retailers are making 16p, and diesel it's12p. oil prices rose massively after the russian invasion of ukraine hitting $121 a barrel.
6:27 am
as chancellor rishi sunak cut fuel duty by sp to ease pressure on drivers. now the oil price has come down at around $90. so why aren't we seeing that drop at the pump, and what should retailers be doing? the price of petrol is seriously overcharged at the moment by the supermarket at that moment in particular— supermarket at that moment in particular who leads the markets. we are calling _ particular who leads the markets. we are calling on them to implement a 5p are calling on them to implement a 5p per— are calling on them to implement a 5p per litre — are calling on them to implement a 5p per litre catch to be fair on drivers — 5p per litre catch to be fair on drivers. this is really important from _ drivers. this is really important from a — drivers. this is really important from a treasury point of view because _ from a treasury point of view because they are giving drivers a duty cut — because they are giving drivers a duty cut by— because they are giving drivers a duty cut by 5p per litre and not getting — duty cut by 5p per litre and not getting it _ duty cut by 5p per litre and not getting it. you can sell cheaper because — getting it. you can sell cheaper because of the wholesale price because — because of the wholesale price because in northern ireland it is

only £1— because in northern ireland it is only ii 50 — because in northern ireland it is only £150 a litre, 5p cheaper than the uk _ only £150 a litre, 5p cheaper than the uk average. we put this to the major supermarkets, asda told us they publish prices of all their stations so customers know what they are paying. and this all comes as there are reports that the chancellor is under pressure to raise fuel duty for the first time in more than a decade in next month's autumn statement. so we may not see the prices drop at the pump that we want. certainly, sally and jon, not falling as sharply as people would like. ., ~' falling as sharply as people would like. . ~ i. still to come on breakfast, sir cliff richard is celebrating 65 years in showbiz — and he's been telling us about his early inspiration from the king of rock'n'roll. and then suddenly, "harry do the elvis thing," and i'd get up and go,

6:30 am
in and give clarity to police on what constitutes illegal acts of extremism. in recent weeks, pro—palestinian rallies have taken place in central london with the met unsure as to what can or cannot be chanted and what flags can be displayed. well, the mayor of london called on londoners to be more "tolerant" of each other — in light of the conflict in israel and gaza. anti—semitic and islamophobic hate crimes have soared in recent weeks — as violence has escalated in the middle east. sadiq khan has made it clear that he supports an immediate ceasefire in israel and gaza — which will allowed aid into effected areas — but but mr khan also wants calm here. i've not met a jewish london are not affected by what has i've not met a jewish londoner not affected by what has happened in israel by hamas. similarly, people are horrified by what's happening in gaza. i think all of us should show some sensitivity towards other people's feelings.
6:31 am
a car crash outside the indian high commission in central london led to nine people being taken to hospital after the vehicle hit a nearby bus stop. some of the injured were taken to major trauma centres. it happened in the early hours of yesterday morning in aldwych. a man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving. police don't believe it was an attack on the high commission or terror—related. something lighter now to enjoy from trafalgar square yesterday. the hindu festival of diwali was celebrated with music, dance and food. diwali is the festival of light — and the colourful event in the square is the largest in london. and it was very well attended, as well. let's take a look at the tubes now.
6:32 am
train cancellations on thejubilee line. now onto the weather with gemma. good morning. we're set to see an unsettled week of weather this week, but some heavy rain to come and some strong winds in the forecast, as well. as we go through the course of the day today, there's going to be some sunny spells around, but also some showers moving through — some of those showers could be heavy, there could be some thunder and lightning in those, as well, and we're looking at highs today of around 15 or 16 degrees. as we go through this evening, those showers will continue to push their way eastwards. they should clear up to leave a drier night for most of us, with some long clear spells, and the wind should fall a bit lighter, as well, through the course of tonight — so it will be a cooler night, with lows of around five or six degrees. this coming week is set to be an unsettled week of weather. we've got some very heavy rain and some strong winds to come as we go through wednesday night and into thursday — that's due to storm ciaran, that was named by the met office. there are some yellow warnings out for rain and wind at the moment from the met office, so it's really worth keeping up
6:33 am
i will have your next update in half an hour. goodbye for now. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. let's return now to our main story — and israel has continued its heavy bombardment of gaza overnight as it targets hamas — which is designated a terrorist organisation by the uk. some of those targets are in areas crowded with civilians — including the al-quds hospital, where1a,000 people are sheltering — and a00 seriously ill patients are being treated. some air stikes have already landed near the hospital — filling rooms with smoke, as you can see in these pictures. what you are seeing here is pictures of the trucks. more than 30 trucks carrying food and supplies entered southern gaza yesterday, which is the largest humanitarian aid convoy to the territory since limited deliveries
6:34 am
were allowed more than a week ago. the un says much more is needed. 6:3aam in the uk, just after 8:30am in the middle east, these pictures coming from the border between israel and gaza and once again, as we can see, smoke is rising on the skyline. we have been told by the israeli defence forces in the last few minutes, they say they have hit 600 what they call hamas targets yesterday and overnight, compared with a50 on saturday. significant increase and that is what we are hearing from our correspondents on the ground in gaza, that the bombardments have been relentless and increasing from the air as well as that incursion on the ground that we have seen with tanks and armoured bulldozers on friday into saturday. a warning from the united nations in the last few hours, about children
6:35 am
in gaza right now, they are facing what they call a catastrophic situation with parents left with no choice but to give their children salty water. obviously very dangerous for their health but they are running out of clean drinking water. that is a statement from the un in the last hour or so. we water. that is a statement from the un in the last hour or so.— un in the last hour or so. we hope to seak un in the last hour or so. we hope to speak to — un in the last hour or so. we hope to speak to the _ un in the last hour or so. we hope to speak to the united _ un in the last hour or so. we hope to speak to the united nation's - to speak to the united nation's relief agency for palestinian refugees a bit later on the programme and we will of course bring you up—to—date with our correspondence across the region. john is here with the sport. manchester is blue and united are feeling blue after the derby yesterday. i feeling blue after the derby yesterday-— feeling blue after the derby esterda . . ., , yesterday. i am not sure the united fans should — yesterday. i am not sure the united fans should have _ yesterday. i am not sure the united fans should have been _ yesterday. i am not sure the united fans should have been shouting - yesterday. i am not sure the united i fans should have been shouting keano yesterday. you fans should have been shouting keano esterda . ., ., �* ., ., , yesterday. you don't want to fire up erlin: yesterday. you don't want to fire up erling haaland _ yesterday. you don't want to fire up erling haaland and _ yesterday. you don't want to fire up erling haaland and that _ yesterday. you don't want to fire up erling haaland and that is _ yesterday. you don't want to fire up erling haaland and that is what - yesterday. you don't want to fire upj erling haaland and that is what they did. i erling haaland and that is what they did. ~' erling haaland and that is what they did. ~ ., ., ,. ., did. i think he would have scored an a . did. i think he would have scored anyway. probably. _ did. i think he would have scored anyway. probably. there - did. i think he would have scored anyway. probably. there is- did. i think he would have scored anyway. probably. there is a - did. i think he would have scored i anyway. probably. there is a feeling that all is not _ anyway. probably. there is a feeling that all is not quite _ anyway. probably. there is a feeling that all is not quite well— anyway. probably. there is a feeling that all is not quite well at - that all is not quite well at manchester united and what does that stem from? the ownership or are

fundamentally eric ten hard and the tactics? united will be... anas sarwar his interview was interesting after the game. you want to try to build some momentum. they were on a good run, winning games. manchester city and all their quality, difficult to go against them. morning. ahead of the game, manchester came together to remember sir bobby charlton with further tributes before kick—off. united, though, comfortably beaten thanks to a fired up erling haaland who scored two and set up another in a 3—0 win, as adam wild reports. for a city so divided, a rare moment of unity — the first manchester derby since the recent passing the first manchester derby since the recent passing of sir bobby charlton. the context, the backdrop, clear to all. whilst the rivalry does of course remain, so, too, does the respect — offered here by legends of both red and blue. the difference between the teams of today, though, was stark. united always struggling to get to grips until they did — a little too firmly.
6:37 am
what the video showed here was a foul, a city penalty — erling haaland ruthless. haaland scores. still, the story of the first half was sculpted by the hands of the keepers — city's ederson saving from scott mctominay. and if that was brilliant, moments later, his opposite number, andre onana, pulled off something quite extraordinary. he wouldn't, though, keep him out for long. the second half, starting as the first ended — an almost identical chance — but this time no stopping haaland. city two up and, in truth, too good. fitting that this manchester derby was finally finished by a local lad — phil foden, with the finishing flourish. they may be cross—city rivals, but on days like this there feels quite some distance between them. adam wild, bbc news. at the london stadium against west ham, everton marked the passing of theirformer chairman bill kenwright, who died last week. both sets of fans again coming together to mark his and sir bobby's passing. dominic calvert—lewin
6:38 am
scoring the only goal of the game as they secured a much—needed victory. the emotion of the day perhaps helping them to that win. we didn't really speak about it and make a sort of deal about it. but i think... i think, yeah, i think the underlying thing is that there's a lot of players here who've spent a bit of time here, you know, and know the chairman, and they're sad as well as i am. liverpool showed unity with theirforward luis diaz, as diogojota scored here, before holding aloft a shirt with team—mate diaz's name and number on it. the player missed the match after his parents were kidnapped in colombia, his mother has been rescued, but his father is still missing, with the authorities offering a reward for any information that would lead to his rescue. aston villa's remarkable season continued with a comfortable 3—1win against luton — moussa diaby with their second. defeat means luton stay in the bottom three. brighton and everton drew 1—1.
6:39 am
——brighton and fulham drew 1—1. how about this as a way of winning the game? rangers scored twice in the 90th and 93rd minutes to beat hearts. danilo with the winner. and that means rangers cut the gap on leaders celtic to five points. elsewhere, kilmarnock beat aberdeen 2—0. there were some unsavoury scenes ahead of the ligue1 match between lyon and marseille in france last night — the game postponed after lyon's team bus was hit with stones as as it entered the stadium in marseille. it's not the first time an incident like this has happened at the club. lyon's manager fabio grosso — seen here with blood on his face — was injured during the incident. marseille's officials issued a statement saying, "the club wishes a speedy recovery to lyon coach fabio grosso, and strongly condemns this violent behaviour which has no place in the world of football and in society." tributes have been paid to amercan ice hockey player adam johnson, who died after suffering a serious cut to his neck from a skate while playing

for the nottingham panthers on saturday. fans and team mates laid flowers outside the arena in nottingham — his team they're devasted by what was a freak accident. his team say they're devasted by what was a freak accident. the challenge cup game his team say they're devasted by what was a freak accident. the challenge cup game against sheffield steelers was stopped and then abandoned as the 29—year—old american received emergency treatment from paramedics on the ice. around 8,000 people were watching the game inside the arena at the time. lewis hamilton bounced back from the disappointment of being disqualified at the us grand prix to finish second at last night's mexico city race. world champion max verstappen started third and took the lead by the first corner, going on to win comfortably. but behind him his red bull team—mate sergio perez crashed out, disappointing the home fans. the race was also delayed for 25 minutes after kevin magnussen crashed. hamilton rose from sixth on the grid to claim second from ferrari's pole—sitter charles leclerc.

england head coach michael mott insists the team remain "an incredibly tight—knit unit" — despite another humilating defeat at the cricket world cup. england had actually been much improved with the ball against india — david willey picking up three wickets as india made just 229 from their 50 overs. but that was more than enough as india eased through england's batting line up — bowled out for 129 runs in just under 35 overs — india winning by 100 runs. england all but out of the tournament, with still three matches to play. there's every opportunity when you're losing to splinter and go separate ways. i can only say, from my opinion, the group's been incredibly strong in that part. if you see our training sessions, they're full of fun. people are putting their arm around each other, trying to help them. and, you know, it's easy to do that when you're winning — it's a lot harder when you're losing, and i'm proud
6:42 am
that we keep trying to get up. england willjust england will just be england willjust be looking for some kind of improvement as their toy draws to a close. —— as their tour draws to a close. northampton saints have got their first win of the new rugby premiership season — but onlyjust. curtis langdon scored their only try of the match as they beat newcastle 16—1a to move up to 7th in the table. newcastle stay bottom, and are now the only team yet to win in the league this season. in the united rugby championship, ulster are up to third after making it two wins from two. they beat the bulls 26—19 — jacob stockdale with the second of their two tries. elswhere cardiff beat the dragons while munster drew 13—13 with bennetton. domestic rugby back in the spotlight after the end of the world cup. judd trump's winning streak is now at 20 matches after he won the northern ireland open in belfast. the former world champion was at his brilliant best as he beat fellow englishman chris wakelin by nine frames to three in the final, playing some exhibition snooker along the way.

it's also the third consecutive ranking event he's won after victories at the english and wuhan opens. another trophy to add to the collection. and the highly anticipated undisputed world heavyweight title fight between tyson fury and oleksandr usyk is unlikely to happen this year — as originally planned. that's according to fury�*s promoter frank warren — who admits fury cannot go into a 12—week camp for another fight so soon after his controversial victory on points against francis ngannou, which went the distance on saturday night in saudi arabia. something of an exhibition. i don't know if anyone saw it. he came out on the right side of it, tyson fury, but lots of people saying perhaps it should have gone the other way against his much unfancied opponent but perhaps tyson are not as fit as he should be so no wonder they don't want the fight. find he should be so no wonder they don't want the fight-— want the fight. and certainly doesnt want the fight. and certainly doesn't want _ want the fight. and certainly doesn't want to _ want the fight. and certainly doesn't want to go _ want the fight. and certainly doesn't want to go straight l want the fight. and certainly i doesn't want to go straight into another camp. pare doesn't want to go straight into another camp-— doesn't want to go straight into another camp. doesn't want to go straight into another cam -. �* i. ., ., another camp. are you going to tell him that?! — another camp. are you going to tell him that?! i — another camp. are you going to tell him that?! iwill— another camp. are you going to tell him that?! i will leave _ another camp. are you going to tell him that?! i will leave that - another camp. are you going to tell him that?! i will leave that to - another camp. are you going to tell him that?! i will leave that to you. | him that?! i will leave that to you. you can let — him that?! i will leave that to you. you can let him _ him that?! i will leave that to you. you can let him know. _ him that?! i will leave that to you. you can let him know. no, - him that?! i will leave that to you. | you can let him know. no, thanks.

we are going to go straight to matt who has important revenues. we are braced for another storm. arnie who has important revenues. we are braced for another storm.— braced for another storm. we are indeed. let's hop ahead to the first half of the way because the met office have named the next area of low pressure to come our way which could have big impacts for some. not everyone but through wednesday night into thursday we will see the risk of damaging winds develop, more especially across the south, but of course with at the ground so saturated, any extra rainfall at the moment is not wanted. let me show you the details because it is this deep area of low pressure that will combine with a strong jet stream overhead to deepen rapidly as it heads towards us. quite a large area of low pressure, hence the rainfall footprint will be large. but the strongest of the winds will be on the southern edge of it and if we focus on that at the moment through wednesday into thursday, it is these areas where we could see some of the strongest winds. 50, 60 mass per hourin strongest winds. 50, 60 mass per hour in and towards the coast around
6:45 am
80, may be 90 mph. some of the strongest winds further south, intentionally getting higher than that towards parts of north—west france. still a few days away yet, so exact details will change. certainly worth keeping an eye on the forecast but at the moment the biggest impact from the wind will be across southern areas. seeing that flooding we have seen over recent days, rainfallalso flooding we have seen over recent days, rainfall also a concern and if we run the forecast accumulation, this is how much rainfall will tot up this is how much rainfall will tot up through the week, all areas will see a fair bit of rainfall as we go through the week and it is parts of the south—east of northern ireland with some of the highest totals and along the southern coastal counties of england where we will see further heavy showers, so flooding again will be a concern. today, by comparison, it is acquired today with a little bit of sunshine around for some. the best in the northern half of scotland. we start this morning wet in northern ireland, lots of cloud for the far south of scotland, northern england, occasional rain in places. that sky will sit in place, the rain will come and go through the day, some will stay dry. sunshine and heavy
6:46 am
showers developing across central and southern parts of england and wales into the afternoon, some of those on the thundery side. 15 degrees. much coolerfor those on the thundery side. 15 degrees. much cooler for the northern have to stop that but here at the driest and brightest of the weather. one or two showers. cold breeze blowing through into tonight but more showers in the west, driest conditions of the north and east, and away from the towns and cities in scotland we could see a bit of frost around for tuesday morning. another bright start, a dry day for many, certainly north of the central belt. south of the central belt, northern ireland and northern england, still plenty of cloud, occasional rain at times. head towards the south—west, we will see lively downpours push in later in the day. those could be on the heavy side. they will sweep their way northwards and eastwards, then as we go through juicy northwards and eastwards, then as we go throughjuicy night northwards and eastwards, then as we go through juicy night into wednesday and with strengthening winds. note with the visit with scotland on wednesday the risk of flooding but they could be snow on tops of the mountains. already turning windy elsewhere with a mixture of sunshine and showers. as
6:47 am
i have already mentioned it is through wednesday night into thursday, the stormiest of the weather is expected, especially across the south but i will leave you with some comfort, with the clocks changing the sunrise is a bit earlier at the moment as you have probably already noticed, back to where it was around a month ago. we would notice it if there were a real window in this room. you mean it's not real?! _ real window in this room. you mean it's not real?! lovely _ real window in this room. you mean it's not real?! lovely blue _ real window in this room. you mean it's not real?! lovely blue skies - it's not real?! lovely blue skies this morning. _ it's not real?! lovely blue skies this morning, as _ it's not real?! lovely blue skies this morning, as ever! - it's not real?! lovely blue skies this morning, as ever! see - it's not real?! lovely blue skies this morning, as ever! see you| this morning, as ever! see you later~ — for most people, retirement means finally taking a break from work — but for 82—year—old owen graham there's no slowing down. sounds like sir cliff. owen volunteers at a charity shop in sheffield at least five days a week — manning the till, training other volunteers, and tackling the never—ending task of keeping the books and dvds in order. our reporter olivia richwald went to meet him. we've got everything up to date. books have sold a lot this morning, so...
6:48 am
owen graham spent 55 years of his working life making spectacles for customers in barnsley. his second career as a charity shop volunteer began about four years ago — initially to combat loneliness after his wife died. well, it's keeping me active. i mean, if i'm at home, i just sit and go to sleep, which is not good for anybody. so i come here, and i talk to everybody. and they talk to me, so i'm happy with that! keeps me busy. it's a good job. i enjoy it. while i enjoy it, i shall carry on doing it. shop manager dawn thinks owen is simply marvellous — and notjust because he's her dad. if i'd let him, he'd come seven days a week, right? just to fill his time up. and because he feels comfortable and he feels valued here. what would you do without your dad in this shop? be lost without him, honestly. we'd be lost without him because he just gives 100% to everything that he does. owen works the till, trains new volunteers, and organises all the books,
6:49 am
cds and dvds. they are, they're all in alphabetical order. are they? and who sorts that out? me. and try to keep it that way! what do you do when people come along and mess them up — customers come along and mess them up? when i find them, i put them back where they belong. it's a full—timejob! the charity sense helps support thousands of people who are deafblind, or have complex disabilities — and this is one of more than 100 charity shops around the country. now owen has been nominated as volunteer of the year. he's been absolutely fantastic with all the volunteers — training them up, and showing them where to put things. he's brilliant, he'sl absolutely brilliant. puts 100% in. every time — he's here all t'time. every time i come in, - he's behind t'till or something. works really hard. that one's been round our shop about a dozen times. owen's dedication doesn't end when the shop closes — he also fixes broken toys and watches at home in the evenings. olivia richwald, bbc news.

sir mark rowley has called for the government to step in and give clarity to police on what constitutes illegal acts of extremism. in recent weeks, pro—palestinian rallies have taken place in central london with the met unsure as to what can or cannot be chanted and what flags can be displayed. the mayor of london called on londoners to be more "tolerant" of each other in light of the conflict in israel and gaza. anti—semitic and islamophobic hate crimes have soared in recent weeks as violence has escalated in the middle east. sadiq khan has made it clear that he supports an immediate ceasefire in israel and gaza which will allowed aid into affected areas but mr khan also wants calm here. i've not met a jewish londoner not affected by what has happened in israel by hamas. similarly, people are horrified by what's happening in gaza. i think all of us should show some sensitivity towards other people's feelings.

london is leading the way in teaching new technologies that could help cut carbon emissions and reduce climate change. thousands of students from around the world have been taught at the carbon capture pilot facility at imperial college — which is the only one of its type in the world. while environmentalists say such technology will delay something lighter now to enjoy from trafalgar square yesterday. the hindu festival of diwali was celebrated with music, dance and food. diwali is the festival of light — and the colourful event in the square is the largest in london. let's take a look at the tubes now. minor delays on the jubilee minor delays on thejubilee line and severe delays on the overground

between stratford and richmond and claphamjunction due between stratford and richmond and clapham junction due to a points fault. now onto the weather with gemma. good morning. we're set to see an unsettled week of weather this week, but some heavy rain to come and some strong winds in the forecast, as well. as we go through the course of the day today, there's going to be some sunny spells around, but also some showers moving through — some of those showers could be heavy, there could be some thunder and lightning in those, as well, and we're looking at highs today of around 15 or 16 degrees. as we go through this evening, those showers will continue to push their way eastwards. they should clear up to leave a drier night for most of us, with some long clear spells, and the wind should fall a bit lighter, as well, through the course of tonight so it will be a cooler night, with lows of around five or six degrees. this coming week is set to be an unsettled week of weather. we've got some very heavy rain and some strong winds to come as we go through wednesday night and into thursday — that's due to storm ciaran, that was named by the met office. there are some yellow warnings out for rain and wind at the moment from the met office, so it's really worth keeping up to date with the latest weather warnings, and keeping up to date with the latest forecast.

more trucks carrying aid are allowed into the territory from egypt. but aid agencies say it's nowhere near what's needed each day. friends and family of matthew perry talk of their heartbreak at the death of the actor as hollywood stars pay tribute. twelve months after rugby star levi davis went missing in spain, his mum talks to us about her pain and the questions she still needs answering. in sport, a fired up erling haaland sees city steal the honours on derby day in manchester to leave united feeling blue. potentially stormy weather heading our way later this week particularly for the far south of england but rain also in the forecast for the next couple of days, things look quieter with a mixture of sunshine and showers. all of the details later on on breakfast. it's monday the 30th of october.

israel has continued its heavy bombardment of gaza overnight, as it targets hamas in areas that are also crowded with civilians. aid workers say israel has ordered the evacuation of the al quds hospital in gaza, where 14,000 people are sheltering and 400 seriously ill patients are being treated. areas near the hospital have already been hit by air strikes. more than 30 trucks carrying food and supplies entered southern gaza yesterday, which is the largest humanitarian aid convoy to the territory since limited deliveries were allowed more than a week ago. the un says much more is needed. isreal is attacking hamas — designated a terrorist organisation by many western governments — after it killed 11t00 israelis, and took more than 200 hostage, on october 7th. our international editor jeremy bowen sent this report. people are living in the ruins in gaza. the israelis insist that they hit
7:03 am
hamas targets, who use civilians as human shields. america said it has sent israel another reminder that hamas are legitimate military targets, and civilians are not. in gaza, the un fears civil order is breaking down. its food warehouses in the south were looted. the desperation comes from israel's siege, which the un says violates the laws of war because it's a collective punishment of civilians. thousands of people ransacked the warehouses. israel says there is no food shortage in gaza. he is saying, "we have no flour, no water, not even toilets. our houses were destroyed, no—one cares about us. we appeal to the people of the world, the big powers are against us. we need aid. we wouldn't have done this if we weren't in need." translation: we need fresh water.
7:04 am
we need food. we are starving. this is totally unfair. our children can't sleep. further north in gaza city, after patients and staff refused israel's order to evacuate al-quds hospital, the wards filled with smoke as buildings nearby were hit. only a few miles away, in sderot, the closest israeli town to gaza, a sense of grim determination has replaced the panic of the first few days after the hamas attacks. eyal hajbi, sderot�*s head of security, said his nephew and some of his team were killed by hamas. a visiting general, nimrod aloni, was greeted like a man back from the dead. on the 7th of october, hamas made the false claim that they had captured aloni and taken him into gaza. hajbi said they were all still trying to process
7:05 am
the horror of what happened. the security chief took me on a tour of sderot�*s defences. hamas, he said, had hit them hard. the equation had to change, and if palestinian civilians suffered, it was not israel's fault. translation: we allowed them to come and work in israel, - and we thought this would help the ordinary people of gaza. we thought a good economy would bring some peace. but now we know that only security brings peace. after 20 rounds of war with hamas and islamicjihad, this needs to be a story that ends here. our eyes were closed, he said, and we lost everything. israel's dead are still being identified. hajbi says he can't face any more funerals. night and day, israel's ground war to destroy hamas gathers pace. it is reverberating around the region.

playback where those rockets are fired from, underground tunnels, at depots where they keep their weapons, hamas. and they have been releasing videos that show israeli forces on the ground in gaza, this is something we have talked about for several weeks but on friday night that intensification saw infantry troops and artillery moved into gaza. they have been working there for the last couple of days and it signals what the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu called the second stage of what would be a long and difficult war. we are hearing some more aid has been allowed into gaza in the last few hours, but agencies, charities are saying much more of that is needed. ., �* , are saying much more of that is needed. . �* , ., g ., are saying much more of that is needed. . �*, ., g ., �*, needed. that's right, and jon. it's notable, some _ needed. that's right, and jon. it's notable, some of— needed. that's right, and jon. it's notable, some of the _ needed. that's right, and jon. it's notable, some of the pictures - needed. that's right, and jon. it's| notable, some of the pictures that we saw coming out of gaza yesterday, after the communication blackout of 30 hours or so, some of the first pictures were people breaking into a un warehouse and you could see people carrying away things like
7:08 am
bags of wheat and flour, simple basic supplies like hygiene kits. it shows you how desperate people are poor humanitarian aid. the un agency that looks after palestinian refugees say they feared a breakdown of civil order because people were not getting what they needed. more trucks have been allowed in but over the week there had still been just over 100 and you normally get 100 in a single day. you can see why there is a lot of diplomatic effort still going on behind—the—scenes, particularly led by the us as well, to try and make sure that the level of humanitarian aid that is going in through egypt continues to increase and give those civilians are still trapped in gaza a fraction at least of what they need.— trapped in gaza a fraction at least of what they need. thank you very much for that _ of what they need. thank you very much for that update, _ of what they need. thank you very much for that update, anna - of what they need. thank you very ! much for that update, anna foster of what they need. thank you very i much for that update, anna foster in southern israel. more than 60 people have been arrested after a mob, some shouting anti—semitic slogans and waving palestine flags, stormed an airport in the russian republic of dagestan. the crowd ran through terminal buildings, apparently seeking

passengers who had arrived on a flight from tel aviv. russian officials said the situation was under control. it is nine minutes past seven, what else do we need to know this monday morning? sally can tell us. doctors investigating the death of the friends actor matthew perry say they need to make further tests before a cause can be given. the 54—year—old was found in the hot tub of his los angeles home on saturday, prompting initial reports he had drowned, but the la county medical examiner says additional investigations are needed. meanwhile, fans have been laying flowers both at his home and in new york, where friends was filmed — as louisa pilbeam reports. i went to that tanning place your wife suggested. was that place...the sun?! as chandler, matthew perry was the friend with the driest sense of humour who often got the biggest laughs.
7:10 am
someone at work ate my sandwich. well, what did the police say? the actor was found dead in his hot tub at his la home by emergency services on saturday. those who worked with him posted tributes on social media. hank azaria, who played phoebe's love interest david, saying perry was even funnier than his character. you know, a girl calls you by her ex—boyfriend's name, that's not a good thing, right? david, let me let me stop you there, because i think i see where this is going. i'm not very good at giving advice. azaria said unlike chandler, perry was good at advice, wanting to help others with drink and drug addiction that he struggled so deeply with. he was just, as a sober person, he was so caring and giving and wise, and he totally helped me get sober.
7:11 am
and i really wish he could have... you know, found the, found it in himself to stay with the sober life more consistently. among other tributes, this from singer adele. one of my friends, andrew, when i was like 12, did the best chandler impression. and he would do it all the time to make us laugh. and if any of us were having a bad day orfeeling low, he would just pretend to be chandler. and i remember that character for the rest of my life. fans laid flowers outside his home where the star died and spoke about how they will remember him. i know he didn't want to be remembered as the friend, the show from friends, but it's impossible, how could you not? he was friends. and so many people who followed his career will feel the same. it is the role that millions love him for and how they will remember him too. the bbc�*s panorama programme has

7:14 am
decisions taken during the pandemic. from this evening, i must give the british people a very simple instruction. you must stay at home. ..shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. over the past month, we've already heard detailed evidence from some of the key scientists involved... as i've explained on the 20th with the prime minister, i said the decision isn't to lock down or not — the decision is, either you do it now and get on top of this epidemic and control the epidemic, or you let it control you. ..and seen pages of text messages and personal diary entries from politicians and their advisers. they often reflected irritation or even vitriol. mr cummings' whatsapps in particular contained a certain degree of brusqueness. this week, the inquiry will start to hear in person from senior officials working in downing street at the time. this morning, martin reynolds —

who used to be borisjohnson's principal private secretary — will give evidence. he was caught up in the partygate scandal — at one point sending an email urging staff to bring their own booze to an event. later, former communications chief lee cain is likely to be asked about whatsapp exchanges in which he appeared to criticise ministers and the way some key decisions were taken. good morning, mr cummings. and tomorrow dominic cummings will be questioned under oath about those messages, his time in downing street, and his controversial decision to travel to durham during lockdown. testimony this week, then, could make uncomfortable reading for the government as those major pandemic decisions come back under the microscope. before christmas, there will be a chance to respond — with matt hancock, borisjohnson and the current prime minister, rishi sunak, all likely to be called as witnesses. jim reed, bbc news. full coverage of that across the bbc

rain comes in with storm ciaran, particularly stormy in the south of england. make the most of something quieter over the next few days, not particularly dry but the winds will be light, rainfall not as extensive, varying quite drastically from one place to the next. wettest in northern ireland this morning, it will ease a little bit. a scattering of showers across england and wales, heaviest toward south wales and southern counties, watchable more persistent rain which could clip into the far south—east later. even here we have a line of heavy showers right now. what's of cloud across northern england, southern scotland, northern ireland, occasional splash of rain, dry and gloomy. for most. northern scotland needs a respite from the rain and it is dry and sunny for many, one or two showers but rather cool. south scotland, northern ireland, and northern england by the end of the day will

after vulnerable elderly people. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly, reports. helen smith's mum mary is having care at home, organised by her nhs support service in the west midlands. mary's family were immediately concerned about some of the staff from one of the agencies sent by the nhs. we could tell that particularly one of them was very new to the country and had had no training. in some cases i had to use videos that i found on youtube to show them how to use the equipment. we could see that the care workers were working seven days a week. we're also trying to look after our mum and she is obviously our priority, but at the same time i can't turn my back on the people that are that were taking care of her. the company involved — santos, based in wolverhampton — strongly rejected the criticisms. they told us their staff were fully trained, and were not forced
7:20 am
to work excessive hours. in a statement, the nhs area responsible for assigning santos to the family told us... "we're sorry that the family feel they have not received the standard of care we would expect, and we would like to apologise for that. these cctv pictures show staff sent to one care home by another agency. these workers had recently arrived in the uk. they had visas, but none of the required training. in a corridor, one is eating food meant for residents. and here, another ignores a resident needing help. the home's full—time staff raised the alarm. this care provider is not alone. raj sehgalfrom the national care
7:21 am
association says the system, which allows care workers to come in from overseas, has been seized on by some scammers. solicitors, agents, agencies. and the government has sort of opened the doors, really, to immigration into the care sector and they have seen an opportunity. for them, it's a cash cow. it is very difficult because i was keeping... in another part of the uk, this young woman is one of the thousands to arrive since the government opened up the care—worker route. she wants to remain anonymous and is using the pseudonym susan. she had some training at home in southern africa. she expected but didn't get any more from the care agency, which brought her over here and charged her £3,000. we've seen the emails. so my family now had to, like, help me. we had to sell our cars. we had to sell furniture and stuff. we had to sell our businesses, as well. the agency told her the money was to cover the cost of her visa and certificate of sponsorship. in fact, they should have paid for the certificate,
7:22 am
and the cost of her visa was just under £250. so you've paid thousands of pounds when, in fact, you should have only paid a few hundred pounds? a few hundred pounds, yes. how do you feel about that? i feel robbed. susan says she was then forced to hand over £1,500 in cash to another company to get work. these are her secret pictures. the national care association says the sector needs to be better protected, with tighter controls on companies allowed to sponsor workers. a government spokesperson said those found operating unlawfully could face prosecution and removal from the sponsorship register. june kelly, bbc news. we're nowjoined by nadra ahmed, executive chair of the national care association. warning nadra. i love watching, this is the last thing the care ——
7:23 am
morning, nadra. i imagine watching that, this is the last thing the care industry need at the moment. absolutely, it's common knowledge that we have a workforce shortage, it was 156,000, now a few less but 70,000 people of the people who have taken place is our international recruits. these people are like gold dust, we should be treating them with the most respectful coming in and treating our vulnerable people. people who will be watching this morning you have members of their family in care homes or rely on social care, how worried should they be? i social care, how worried should they be? .. , ., �* social care, how worried should they be? ~' , ., �* ., social care, how worried should they be? ~ �* ., be? i think we shouldn't have people beint be? i think we shouldn't have people being worried — be? i think we shouldn't have people being worried about _ be? i think we shouldn't have people being worried about this. _ be? i think we shouldn't have people being worried about this. the - be? i think we shouldn't have people being worried about this. the people i being worried about this. the people we should be worrying about other people who are coming in under these rogue conditions. because providers will be doing their very best to make sure that they can deliver the best care that they can. what they are reliant on sometimes is the fact that they have to get those members of staff from an agency and it is
7:24 am
these agencies that need to be really knocked out or registered so that we have got some sort of check and balance around them. people in the care settings, we have to remember that they are surrounded by other people. we need a domestic workforce, we have some domestic workforce, we have some domestic workforce, we have some domestic workforce, we need a bigger domestic workforce. international recruitment is a short—term fix, we need to be looking at what the domestic workforce is that we need so that we can eliminate some of the challenges around it. the vulnerable people that are coming into this country having paid thousands and borrowed money, some tell us they have sold houses to bring them across on this licence. the licence was set up to support the sector to get a workforce to deliver care, that is the purpose. rogue agencies have set “p the purpose. rogue agencies have set up and this is where the problem is a. 50 up and this is where the problem is a. ., up and this is where the problem is

7:26 am
being brought here under false pretenses. they will say they are responding to calls from you wanting like something like this to operate, are you saying it has not been set “p are you saying it has not been set up properly and there are gaps? thea;r up properly and there are gaps? they have up properly and there are gaps? tye: have responded to up properly and there are gaps? tte1: have responded to our up properly and there are gaps? tye1: have responded to our cries up properly and there are gaps? tte1: have responded to our cries because we have desperately tried to get that in place. but what they didn't listen to was our calls to make sure that there was a national strategy that there was a national strategy that helped with the pastoral care, the orientation of people, making sure that accommodation was the end we made sure we knew what was going to happen. that is the bit that has gone askew and it could have been avoided. and we can still make a difference if we could just get that national perspective in and make sure that there are rules and regulations that are followed. thank ou for regulations that are followed. thank you for coming _ regulations that are followed. thank you for coming in — regulations that are followed. thank you for coming in are _ regulations that are followed. thank you for coming in are talking - regulations that are followed. thank you for coming in are talking about this, nadra. let us know if this affects you this morning at home. sir cliff richard has been
7:27 am
speaking to breakfast about his 65 years in showbiz, covering all sorts of topics from his stretching routine to ageism in the music industry. we'll play the full interview at eight—forty but here's a little taste of his chat with charlie. you'vejust had a birthday, right? yes, i have. imean, i... i can't believe it, really. i'm going on tour and it's my 65th year singing. # it's so funny # why we don't talk any more. my birthday led me to be 83. and are we comfortable with 83? how's the cliff richard mindset at 83? i don't know how to... i mean, i feel fantastic. imean, i'm... i'm going on tour. i've got a book out. i've got an album coming out. and when my tour starts, we're going to film it and i'm going to be in cinema. so...what do i feel? fabulous.
7:28 am
does the word "slowing down" ever have anything to do with your life? yes. i have in the last few years tried to slow down. in other words, i don't do as much. like what? well, for instance, if i'm going to do a tour, i try to make sure that i have a day off every other day so that i'm not constantly singing. i can't do that any more. and obviously i don't want to retire, but i'm probably going to stop. like a red light. see the red light, you stop. if it goes green, you think, "ok, i'll go now." so i've left myself open to still be available to do things as long as i can. fortunately, i can still sing. he certainly came. he is not stopping _ he certainly came. he is not stopping ever. _ he certainly came. he is not stopping ever, is _ he certainly came. he is not stopping ever, is he? - he certainly came. he is not stopping ever, is he? he - he certainly came. he is not stopping ever, is he? he is. he certainly came. he is not - stopping ever, is he? he is pacing himself. stopping ever, is he? he is pacing himself- he _ stopping ever, is he? he is pacing himself. he is _ stopping ever, is he? he is pacing himself. he isjust _ stopping ever, is he? he is pacing himself. he isjust going, - stopping ever, is he? he is pacing himself. he isjust going, good i himself. he is 'ust going, good attitude. he _ himself. he isjust going, good attitude. do you _ himself. he isjust going, good attitude. do you think- himself. he isjust going, good attitude. do you think charlie | attitude. do you think charlie should have _ attitude. do you think charlie should have undone i attitude. do you think charlie should have undone hisi attitude. do you think charlie should have undone his tie i attitude. do you think charlie ! should have undone his tie to attitude. do you think charlie i should have undone his tie to match sir cliff?
7:29 am
sir cliff richard goes on tour in november. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm asad ahmad. the commissioner of the metropolitan police has admitted to having lawyers sitting with officers in the police operations room during recent demonstrations to tell officers if protestors are breaking the law or not. sir mark rowley has called for the government to step in and give clarity to police on what constitutes illegal acts of extremism. in recent weeks, pro—palestinian rallies have taken place in central london with the met unsure as to what can or cannot be chanted and what flags can be displayed. the mayor of london called on londoners to be more "tolerant" of each other — in light of the conflict in israel and gaza. anti—semitic and islamophobic hate crimes have soared in recent weeks — as violence has escalated in the middle east. sadiq khan has made it clear that he supports an immediate ceasefire in israel and gaza —
7:30 am
which will allowed aid into effected areas — but but mr khan also into affected areas — but mr khan also wants calm here. i've not met a jewish londoner not affected by what has happened in israel by hamas. similarly, people are horrified by what's happening in gaza. i think all of us should show some sensitivity towards other people's feelings. the university of london appears to be leading the way in teaching new technologies that could help cut carbon emissions. thousands of students from around the world have already been taught at the carbon capture pilot facility at imperial college. it's the only one of its kind in the world. engineers say they work they do here will help reduce emissions from heavy industry. something to enjoy from trafalgar square yesterday. how good was that?!
7:31 am
the hindu festival of diwali was celebrated with music, dance and food. diwali is the festival of light — and the colourful event in the square is the largest in london. let's take a look at the tubes now. severe delays on the overground between stratford and richmond and claphamjunction due between stratford and richmond and clapham junction due to a signal fault. train cancellations on the jubilee line. now onto the weather with gemma. good morning. we're set to see an unsettled week of weather this week, but some heavy rain to come and some strong winds in the forecast, as well. as we go through the course of the day today, there's going to be some sunny spells around, but also some showers moving through — some of those showers could be heavy, there could be some thunder and lightning in those, as well, and we're looking at highs today of around 15 or 16 degrees. as we go through this evening, those showers will continue to push their way eastwards. they should clear up to leave a drier night for most of us, with some long clear spells, and the wind should fall a bit lighter, as well,
7:32 am
through the course of tonight — so it will be a cooler night, with lows of around five or six degrees. this coming week is set to be an unsettled week of weather. we've got some very heavy rain and some strong winds to come as we go through wednesday night and into thursday — that's due to storm ciaran, that was named by the met office. there are some yellow warnings out for rain and wind at the moment from the met office, so it's really worth keeping up to date with the latest weather warnings, and keeping up to date with the latest forecast. i will have your next update in half an hour. goodbye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. let's return now to our main story — and israel has continued its heavy bombardment of gaza overnight as it targets hamas — which is designated a terrorist organisation by the uk. some of those targets are in areas crowded with civilians — including the al-quds hospital, where 111,000 people are sheltering —
7:33 am
and 400 seriously ill patients are being treated. that is why that hospital is under such focus at the moment. some air stikes have already landed near the hospital — filling rooms with smoke, as you can see in these pictures. more than 30 trucks carrying food and supplies entered southern gaza yesterday, which is the largest humanitarian aid convoy to the territory since limited deliveries were allowed more than a week ago. the un says much more is needed. let's go live to gaza. this is our shut from the border looking into gaza. you can see thick black smoke, more than there was even in the last half hour or so and we are talking
7:34 am
very much this morning about that hospital this morning, which israel has told doctors to evacuate. we know medical staff have said that simply evacuating people from that site is impossible. another night of heavy bombardment. the palestinian red crescent — heavy bombardment. the palestinian red crescent has _ heavy bombardment. the palestinian red crescent has issued _ heavy bombardment. the palestinian red crescent has issued a _ heavy bombardment. the palestinian red crescent has issued a statement| red crescent has issued a statement saying the air strikes are continuing in that area around the hospital which doctors have been told to evacuate by israel. we are told to evacuate by israel. we are told that the israel defence forces have said in a statement this morning that they have hit 600 hamas targets in the last 2a hours, up from a50 on saturday into sunday. palestinian christians in bethlehem, in the occupied west bank, have been praying for peace in gaza at special church services. official figures now put the number of people killed at more than 8,000 people — including 18 when an israeli air strike hit an historic church where people had been sheltering. our middle east correspondent
7:35 am
yolande knell reports. singing. a prayerfor peace... ..that isn't being answered so far. palestinian christians at bethlehem's nativity church say they feel solidarity with everyone suffering in gaza. all people are equal for us. we live like brothers here, sisters here. we have to pray. we have to be one hand, one...one country with each other. not their problem, it's our problem — all of us. in gaza, it's over a week since an israeli air strike hit the compound of saint porphyrius — the site of one of the oldest churches in the world. israel says it was targeting a hamas command centre nearby. many of the 1,000 christians living in gaza were sheltering here. they were left feeling nowhere was safe.
7:36 am
there was despair at a mass funeral outside the church. four of the 18 killed were small children. they were deeply mourned here, but also by relatives living in the west bank. this woman lost her aunt. she says her family had stayed in gaza through successive wars. every time we ask them, "do you want to leave?" they would say, "no, this is our route, this is where we were born," and all these kinds of, you know, commitment to the land. but this time, they don't know if they want to stay — that is if they actually survive. just months ago in gaza, during the orthodox easter, saint porphyrius was packed with worshippers. christians here are deeply connected to their church. gaza is one of the oldest christian communities in the entire world. and of course we're concerned about every human lives, but after all is done, one of our biggest concerns and fears is that this long, long tradition of christian presence
7:37 am
in gaza might come to an end. since the war, foreign pilgrims have deserted bethlehem, and decades of violence and occupation have already seen many christians leaving the holy land. now, on top of all the other human tragedies of the past three weeks, some locals here are worried that there could be yet another loss — the last remaining christian community in gaza. yolande knell, bbc news, bethlehem. it's a year since the professional rugby player levi davis went missing in spain — and his family have told the bbc they won't lose hope of finding him alive. levi was 2a years old when he disappeared in barcelona. the police there say the investigation is still ongoing. rachel stonehouse has been speaking to his family. this one reminds me of sunday school. mavis davis, my grandma, what
7:38 am
a name, first of all, rock star. lovely, isn't it? it's hard, i think, as the days are going by and coming up to the anniversary, it's bringing it all back again, the emotions. ijust hope that he does turn up whenever that is. well, this right here will tell you... make me proud. yeah, he'll make you proud. he makes you proud already. and he's going to make you proud again. yeah. even better. before he went missing, levi played professional rugby. a finishing masterclass from levi davies. for teams including premiership side bath. and also pursued his passion for music, appearing
7:39 am
on celebrity x factor in 2019, and he later went on to sign a record deal. but he disappeared on the 29th of october 2022. levi had been staying with a friend in ibiza for a couple of weeks when he left suddenly and travelled to barcelona by ferry. he sent his mum, julie, this video on the way, telling her it was beautiful. when levi arrived into the city he went to this bar and was spotted leaving on their cctv at around 10.30 in the evening. that was the last confirmed sighting of him, a year ago now. when levi was four or five we'd, you know, like bring the kids down to play in the park, especially here, skateboarding. this is one of his favourite sports. and he would not take no for an answer. he was like, "i want to try that cos that looks like fun." what does it feel
7:40 am
like coming back today? you know, we're just sort of taking one day at a time and live in hope and pray that he will turn up one day. you know, a year on and he's no longer here, it's... yeah, it's heartbreaking, to say the least. the morning after levi disappeared, passengers on a cruise ship close to the port of barcelona reported seeing a man in the water. a search was started, but then called off after nobody from the boat was missing. his passport was found at the port a few weeks later. more than six months went by. then in may, the police in barcelona confirmed they were investigating the possibility levi had drowned and released this video of their search. what we call the golden hour, the first moments after the case is opened, are really, really critical. charlie hedges is a missing person expert and former police officer and is surprised the initial search was called off after reports
7:41 am
from the cruise ship. i find it very strange that was just called off on such an easy check of the people on board, because there's no saying whether the person had fallen off the ship or had come from somewhere else. and so i would have expected a more thorough search to follow, assuming that the witnesses were credible and corroborated the information they were giving. and then, of course, in a busy waterway like that, with lots of ships going backwards and forwards, it's tidal, it's incredibly difficult searching in water anyway. and the longer you leave it, the more challenging it becomes. and the longer time goes on, the harder it is to track down the leads. the evidence becomes eroded, witnesses disappear. the police in barcelona have told bbc news the case is still ongoing, but there are no further updates at the moment. i would have hoped by now that there would have been at least some more evidence. how about the police investigation? what have they told you recently? so within the last two weeks,
7:42 am
they've updated me to say that they've now completed the search of the waters and haven't located either his body or, you know, his bag or any belongings. you know, the search of the waters has been, you know, so late in the day. to me, it should have been carried out earlier on. all those sort of questions that i need — i do need answering. again, it's a case of, i need to get to barcelona, as you know, and ask why. rachel stonehouse, bbc news. the ongoing search for levis davis. it is time for the sports withjohn. and unstoppable earning island. not last time we will say that —— erling
7:43 am
haaland. don't wind him up. i think thatis haaland. don't wind him up. i think that is sensible. the manchester united fans were giving him a bit of stick with shouts of keano, you might remember it was roy keane who put that huge tackle on his dad in one of the diabetes way back when. he was aware of that! it one of the diabetes way back when. he was aware of that!— he was aware of that! it backfired. scored two — he was aware of that! it backfired. scored two and _ he was aware of that! it backfired. scored two and set _ he was aware of that! it backfired. scored two and set up _ he was aware of that! it backfired. scored two and set up another. i he was aware of that! it backfired. | scored two and set up another. the manchester derby going the way of city so manchester was blue yesterday. good morning. it was a poignant day as both clubs paid tribute to sir bobby charlton. but the gulf in class between the two sides remains clear, with city runaway winners over united. before kick off, supporters and former players from both teams joined together to pay their respects to united's former captain with a minute's applause. but once the match got under way, it was one—way traffic. erling haaland scored twice to put city in control, before phil foden wrapped up the win ten minutes from time. if united were hoping to trim the gap to city, this a reminder there remains a long
7:44 am
way to go. well, against the rival and old trafford, yeah, of course. but we played... i had the feeling that this part of the season we were playing... we are playing better than the last season in this part of the season. so, yeah, we are here. so come in old trafford and, yeah, all the time, when here always we perform well. last season we lost. today this season we won, so good. of course we are down and we played a good game first half and of course we will be disappointed and we will be annoyed today. but tomorrow we will be there. we will have energy and then we will prepare the game. a special atmosphere at the london stadium, too, as everton marked the passing of their former chairman bill kenwright, who died last week. they were away to west ham,
7:45 am
with both sets of fans coming together to mark his and sir bobby's passing. dominic calvert—lewin scoring the only goal as everton secured a much—needed victory. the emotion of the day perhaps helping them to that win. liverpool beat nottingham forest and showed their support to team mate luis diaz who missed the match after his parents were kidknapped from their home in colombia. when diogojota scored here he held a shirt aloft with diaz's name and number on it. diaz's mother has been rescued, but his father is still missing, with the authorities offering a reward for any information that would lead to his safe return. he was with us in the hotel and then he just went home. i think it's a very harsh situation. i don't know if anyone knows how we react if it happens to us. it's just hard to think about it.
7:46 am
and, yeah, he was going to play. i played instead of him. and ijust remember obviously if we scored and i scored to hold his shirts to show him a little bit, we are obviously with him, and hopefully the things work out well in the end. what a season aston villa are having, their remarkable run continued with a comfortable 3—1win against luton — moussa diaby with their second. defeat means luton stay in the bottom three. brighton and fulham drew 1—1. how about this as a way of winning a game? in the scottish premiership. rangers scored twice in the 90th and 93rd minutes to beat hearts. danilo with the winner. and that means rangers cut the gap on leaders celtic to five points. elsewhere, kilmarnock beat aberdeen 2—0. there were some unsavoury scenes ahead of the match between lyon and marseille in league one in france — the game was postponed after lyon's team bus was hit
7:47 am
with stones as as it entered the stadium in marseille, smashing several windows of the bus. lyon's manager fabio grosso — seen here with blood on his face — was injured during the incident. marseille's officials issued a statement saying, "the club wishes a speedy recovery to the lyon coach fabio grosso and strongly condemns this violent behaviour which has no place in the world of football and in society." it's not the first time an incident like this has happened at the club. tributes have been paid to amercan ice hockey player adam johnson, who died after suffering a serious cut to his neck from a skate while playing for the nottingham panthers on saturday. fans and team mates have been laying flowers outside the arena in nottingham — his team say they're devasted by what was a "freak accident". the challenge cup game against sheffield steelers was stopped and then abandoned as the 29—year—old american received emergency treatment from paramedics on the ice. around 8,000 people
7:48 am
were watching the game inside the arena at the time. lewis hamilton bounced back from the disappointment of being disqualified at the us grand prix to finish second at last night's mexico city race. world champion max verstappen started third and took the lead by the first corner going on to win comfortably. but behind him his red bull team—mate sergio perez crashed out disappointing the home fans. the race was also delayed for 25 minutes after kevin magnussen crashed. hamilton rose from sixth on the grid to claim second from ferrari's pole sitter charles leclerc. and the highly anticipated undisputed world heavyweight title fight between tyson fury and oleksandr usyk is unlikely to happen this year — as originally planned. that's according to fury�*s promoter frank warren — who admits fury cannot go into a 12—week camp for another fight — so soon after his controversial victory on points against francis ngannou, which went the distance on saturday night in saudi arabia.
7:49 am
perhaps no surprise that frank warren is encouraging thais if you're to take some time before his next fight. that was essentially an exhibition match against an mma fighter who doesn't have much boxing experience, put in a really impressive performance against tyson fury so obviously feels he needs to get ready for that. you fury so obviously feels he needs to get ready for that.— fury so obviously feels he needs to get ready for that. you can see why he needs a — get ready for that. you can see why he needs a break. _ get ready for that. you can see why he needs a break. he _ get ready for that. you can see why he needs a break. he does. i get ready for that. you can see why he needs a break. he does. no i get ready for that. you can see why i he needs a break. he does. no break in the weather, _ he needs a break. he does. no break in the weather, i'm _ he needs a break. he does. no break in the weather, i'm afraid. i he needs a break. he does. no break in the weather, i'm afraid. another i in the weather, i'm afraid. another storm on its way in the next few days. good morning. the met office have named another area of low pressure set to come this way from wednesday onwards. storm ciaran could bring stormy weather to the south of the uk with winds, and more widely there will be more widespread heavy rain. let me show you the charts. really
7:50 am
strong jet stream coming across the atlantic, that will tie in with the area of low pressure to rapidly deepen it, causing strong winds. when difference around it to bring the more persistent rain in places. exact details will change as we get closer to wednesday and thursday. but one to watch at the moment as far as when strength is concerned is towards the south of the uk. south wales, southern parts of england. inland quite widely we could see winds off 50 to 60 mph. on exposed headlands, may be up to 90 mph and over open water is even more, especially down towards the north—west of france as things stand at the moment. the exact details could change and we will keep you updated. the rainfall over the next couple of days, amounts will vary drastically from one place to the nextin drastically from one place to the next in form of showers but notice how the rainfall totals adult through the week, showing everyone will see some rain, driest conditions in north—west scotland but brighter colours here to the south—east of northern ireland, an
7:51 am
indication we can see over 100 millimetres of rain along the south—eastern corner and it is here where the greatest risk of flooding is. fairly high totals in some of the saturated areas of southern england, across wales and eastern scotland. by comparison, today is a sunshine and showers. some of you will stay dry throughout, especially in the northern half of scotland. only a few isolated showers, bit of a cool breeze but lots of sunshine. sunshine between the downpours could be heavy and thundery across the midlands, southern england and wales, but northern england, far south of scotland, northern ireland, cloudy day, outbreaks of rain coming and going, best conditions the eastern half of northern ireland today, i suspect, eastern half of northern ireland today, isuspect, and eastern half of northern ireland today, i suspect, and temperatures on the cool side in northern scotland, not far from where we should be at this stage in the year. mild it in sunnier moments by the south. convinced that they longer spells of heavy thundery rain in the south—east corner, that will clear and then tonight i will be prevalent across the western half of england, wales, and into northern ireland. with clear skies the northern half of scotland, the chance of frost to

take us into another dry and bright tuesday. it is really from the far south of scotland into northern england and northern ireland, we stick with lots of cloud again, outbreaks of rain. some sunshine for a time the parts of wales, central and southern england but in a south—west later heavy rain pushes in and the winds will start to pick up. strongerwinds in and the winds will start to pick up. stronger winds for in and the winds will start to pick up. strongerwinds forall as in and the winds will start to pick up. stronger winds for all as we go into wednesday. first area of low pressure pushes in, persistent rain sweeps northwards, could have a bigger impact across scotland this time, particularly in the east. snow over the hills. south of that, blustery winds bring mixture of sunshine and thundery showers but wednesday night into thursday, storm ciaran rolls in, bringing those potentially damaging winds across the south, but more in the way of widespread rainfall and that risk of flooding. back to you. thank you. it feels relentless- _ back to you. thank you. it feels relentless. a _ back to you. thank you. it feels relentless. a lot _ back to you. thank you. it feels relentless. a lot of _ back to you. thank you. it feels relentless. a lot of rain. i back to you. thank you. it feels | relentless. a lot of rain. sticking with that theme... _ while many areas are preparing for potential floods this week, one town in lincolnshire is still clearing up after its defences failed nine days ago. the environment agency has

apologised to residents of horncastle after a sluice gate failed, causing around 80 properties to be flooded. linsey smith went to see the damage. this isn'tjust a clean—up — it's a race against time to get this pre—school ready for the first day of term today. a term where 52 children will be without their outdoor classroom, thanks to the flood waters. we've had to bin nearly everything. we had a box of the children's wellies, we had all our forest school stuff, we've lost our firepit. and in our natural garden we've lost all our diggers, our slide — everything. parents have rallied to help — some setting up a gofundme page to replace toys. it's just really... it's really sad that we've come to this, but it is really, really heart—warming to see that everybody is willing to rally round. heighington millfield primary school next door was not so lucky — water flowed into the classrooms, pupils will be home—schooled this week.
7:54 am
this land is normally home to horses and ponies that have been rescued by bransby horses — a welfare charity. they were given a two—hour warning from the environment agency that it was to be flooded. thankfully, all our staff and our horses are safe. i mean, we fully support the environment agency and needing to use that washland because obviously it protects homes and businesses further down in lincoln. but what it does mean is we have had to move around 100 horses, and try and find some different living accommodation for them. in horncastle, there were more sandbags than people today. some business owners told us they were too angry to talk on camera, after the environment agency admitted they were flooded because of a faulty flood defence. there's going to need to be some answers. we're going to need to know why. because insurance for us is going to absolutely rocket. there's a lot of angry people. a lot of angry people.

it's not good when so much money was spent on a scheme that didn't work. somebody needs...needs a serious talking to. the water may have receded in horncastle, but worries are rising — will this happen again if the defences designed to protect them failed so badly? linsey smith, bbc news. it is set to be a rather soggy halloween tomorrow and you might be getting ready for it, carving yourself a pumpkin. i getting ready for it, carving yourself a pumpkin.- getting ready for it, carving ourselfa --umkin. ~' ., ., yourself a pumpkin. i know someone who is already- _ jayne mccubbin is busy pimping up pumpkins in pontefract. where else would you be? how are you getting on. i where else would you be? how are you ttettin on. , ., where else would you be? how are you ttettin on. ., , getting on. i tell you what, it is much improved _ getting on. i tell you what, it is much improved on _ getting on. i tell you what, it is much improved on efforts i getting on. i tell you what, it is much improved on efforts in i getting on. i tell you what, it is i much improved on efforts in previous years of zigzag mouth and circle

8:01 am
from the limelight. i've left myself open to still be available to do things as long as i can. fortunately, i can still sing. storm ciaran is on its way from wednesday onwards, bringing some very strong winds to the south of the uk with widespread gales, heavy rain with the risk of flooding elsewhere but for the next couple of days before it arrives, things a little bit quieter. full forecast here on breakfast. it's monday the 30th of october. israel has continued its heavy bombardment of gaza overnight, as it targets hamas in areas that are also crowded with civilians. aid workers say israel has ordered the evacuation of the al quds hospital in gaza, where 111,000 people are sheltering and 400 seriously ill patients are being treated. areas near the hospital have already
8:02 am
been hit by air strikes. more than 30 trucks carrying food and supplies entered southern gaza yesterday, which is the largest humanitarian aid convoy to the territory since limited deliveries were allowed more than a week ago. the un says much more is needed. israel is attacking hamas — designated a terrorist organisation by many western governments — after it killed 11100 israelis, and took more than 200 hostage, on october 7th. our correspondent wyre davies has the latest developments. the al quds hospital in the heart of gaza city. around 111,000 internally displaced people who have fled from their homes to escape relentless israeli bombing are said to be sheltering in the grounds here. israel has accused hamas of deliberately basing itself near or even within public buildings like hospitals, and that's why it's targeting areas around the hospital. shelling in recent
8:03 am
days has been intense. israel has urged these people to leave, to flee south, to what it says is relative safety. but with 400 patients inside the hospital, many of them in intensive care units, that's an impossible demand, say doctors and health officials. translation: we have received various warnings today, i the first was through a phone call from the palestinian red crescent which the israeli army called to demand the evacuation of all patients and workers as well as those residing in the hospital to the south of gaza. they mentioned that this area is going to be a military zone, that there will be clashes and the area will be dangerous and that we have to evacuate quickly. desperate people take desperate actions. raiding un stores for flour and other basics. israel has repeatedly questioned the scale of the crisis in gaza, saying there is no shortage of food, and that supplies of basics like water are adequate.
8:04 am
but the reality on the ground tells a different story. around 30 trucks carrying basic aid were allowed into gaza yesterday to the border with egypt, and improvement but nowhere through the border with egypt, an improvement but nowhere near the hundreds of trucks that are needed each day, say aid agencies. israel in effect controls and restricts what gets into gaza and that, say some, has dire consequences. they blockade food and gasoline. that could be a war crime, could be a crime against humanity, and even genocide, if the intention was to destroy the people in gaza. israel's priority is its military objective, to crush hamas as a fighting force. and that means pummelling hamas targets, sending in tanks and troops on the ground into gaza, where they remain. stage two of this offensive, a land incursion, is well under way. but there are other
8:05 am
considerations for israel. the plight of more than 220 hostages held by hamas, israelis and internationals, is impossible for the government to ignore. the voices of the families calling for the government to focus on their return are increasingly loud. i'm just a granddaughter, begging to get her grandma back home. and if i will stop believing, if i will stop hoping, then there is nothing, no reason to wake up in the morning and i need to have this hope. so even though i might have different opinions with the government, or with the authority, i have to believe that they are doing their best. israel wants the world to remember why it says the unprecedented assault on gaza that has to happen. each day, more victims from october seven are buried, after 1400 people killed inside israel by hamas gunmen who breached the borderfence. never again, says israel,
8:06 am
whatever the cost. wyre davies, bbc news, jerusalem. it is six minutes past eight here in the uk which means it isjust after 10am in the middle east, we can see some pictures here from gaza, heavy smoke rising from buildings, struck by the latest round of israeli air strikes. the statementjust in from the israeli military, they say that killed they say more than 20 hamas terrorist operatives in tunnels in gaza overnight.— gaza overnight. tunnels and buildints gaza overnight. tunnels and buildings across _ gaza overnight. tunnels and buildings across the i gaza overnight. tunnels and buildings across the gaza i gaza overnight. tunnels and i buildings across the gaza strip. they say as their efforts, their bombardments, continue and intensify. meanwhile we have a statement from the palestine red crescent organisation which says that there are still taxed and
8:07 am
bombardments continuing around the al quds hospital that we were hearing about, —— attacks and bombardments, and explosions from the area. our correspondent anna foster is also in southern israel, fairly close to that border with gaza. you were telling us that's not only have we seen that more bombing gaza overnight but you had seen rockets coming from gaza into israel? that’s coming from gaza into israel? that's ritht, jon, coming from gaza into israel? that's right. jon. that's _ coming from gaza into israel? that's right, jon, that's one _ coming from gaza into israel? that's right, jon, that's one of— coming from gaza into israel? that's right, jon, that's one of the i coming from gaza into israel? that's right, jon, that's one of the things i right, jon, that's one of the things that the israeli defence forces are trying to tackle. they are focusing on the hamas infrastructure inside gaza but one of the things they are trying to eliminate is the launch pad that they used to fire rockets here into israel. in the last hour orso here into israel. in the last hour or so we saw a barrage come up and over and we see them intercepted by the iron dome system which basically meets the rockets and blows them up in the sky, it looks like puffs of
8:08 am
white popcorn on the skyline. we have seen that happen this morning and this has been a regularfeature over the last three weeks or so. certainly since friday evening, there has been a real intensification. because the israel defence forces have their soldiers inside gaza, have released pictures of infantry troops operating inside buildings, and tanks rolled in, and you will hear the sound of artillery fire continuing to go in there. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu has described what is happening now is the second stage of what will be a long and difficult war.— a long and difficult war. thank you very much. _ a long and difficult war. thank you very much. anna _ a long and difficult war. thank you very much, anna in _ a long and difficult war. thank you very much, anna in southern i a long and difficult war. thank you | very much, anna in southern israel. that's go to our correspondence in khan younis, i know it has been a challenging weekend, what is the situation? the challenging weekend, what is the situation? , ., ., .,

8:10 am
now access in and out of gaza —— gaza city and northern gaza is capped. this roach, back in 2014, they were closed, in 2008, they were cutting this road all the way from the west beach to northern israel in the west beach to northern israel in the east. the area at about eight and a half kilometres and it used to be known as a previous name before 2005 when israeli settlers used to be in gaza before the disengagement. that was the main road leading the israeli settlement to israel. now israeli settlement to israel. now israel is in control, the tanks are in control of this road which is about eight kilometres. these re torts about eight kilometres. these reports are — about eight kilometres. these reports are coming _ about eight kilometres. these reports are coming into i about eight kilometres. these reports are coming into you i about eight kilometres. these i reports are coming into you and to us via the ap news agency that israeli tanks are on the edge of

we need at least100 trucks every day to be able to... now it is more than two thirds of the population are in the southern area and almost half of them in the city where i am standing, khan younis. people are struggling here, in the hospital, hundreds of families living on the grounds of the hospital, the hospital itself has a severe shortage of fuel and medicine. so what the people here are hopeful of is this sustainable humanitarian corridor from is this sustainable humanitarian corridorfrom egypt is this sustainable humanitarian corridor from egypt into this area so people here can have some sort of belief. because water is a real problem here, and food is a real problem here, and food is a real problem as well as medicine. lode problem here, and food is a real problem as well as medicine. we will leave it there. _ problem as well as medicine. we will leave it there, thank _ problem as well as medicine. we will leave it there, thank you _ problem as well as medicine. we will leave it there, thank you very i problem as well as medicine. we will leave it there, thank you very much i leave it there, thank you very much indeed, stay safe. that is rushdi abualouf for the bbc. in the last

few minutes, the foreign secretary james cleverly, who is on a visit to abu dhabi in the middle east, said, "we need to de—escalate, we need to get humanitarian aid to the people of gaza". he goes on to say, we had reassurances from israel that they will act with professionalism, restraint and abide by international law. there has been a lot of focus over the last few days about whether or not a ceasefire is possible, if not a steve meyer, what they are talking about in terms of humanitarian causes, pauses. the foreign secretary saying they have reassurances from israel that they will act with professionalism, restraint, abide by international law and he said in terms of this, we need to de—escalate and get
8:14 am
humanitarian aid to people in gaza. no more of the morning's news. —— now, more of the news. senior government advisers involved in the response during the pandemic are set to appear at the covid—19 inquiry this week. they'll include borisjohnson's former chief adviser dominic cummings, and his former head of communications lee cain. our health reporter jim reed has more details. from border controls, to social distancing, to lockdowns — this second phase of the covid inquiry looks at the major political decisions taken during the pandemic. from this evening, i must give the british people a very simple instruction. you must stay at home. ..shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. over the past month, we've already heard detailed evidence from some of the key scientists involved... as i've explained on the 20th with the prime minister, i said the decision isn't to lock down or not — the decision is, either you do it now and get on top of this epidemic and control the epidemic, or you let it control you. ..and seen pages of text messages and personal diary entries
8:15 am
from politicians and their advisers. they often reflected irritation or even vitriol. mr cummings' whatsapps in particular contained a certain degree of brusqueness. this week, the inquiry will start to hear in person from senior officials working in downing street at the time. this morning, martin reynolds — who used to be borisjohnson's principal private secretary — will give evidence. he was caught up in the partygate scandal — at one point sending an email urging staff to bring their own booze to an event. later, former communications chief lee cain is likely to be asked about whatsapp exchanges in which he appeared to criticise ministers and the way some key decisions were taken. good morning, mr cummings. and tomorrow dominic cummings will be questioned under oath about those messages, his time in downing street, and his controversial decision to travel to durham during lockdown. testimony this week, then,
8:16 am
could make uncomfortable reading for the government as those major pandemic decisions come back under the microscope. before christmas, there will be a chance to respond — with matt hancock, borisjohnson and the current prime minister, rishi sunak, all likely to be called as witnesses. jim reed, bbc news. the bbc�*s panorama programme has learned that portuguese police have apologised to the parents of madeleine mccann for the way detectives investigated her disappearance. three—year—old madeleine went missing during a family holiday in portugal in 2007. her parents kate and gerry were initially questioned as suspects. an inquest into the death of gracie spinks is due to start this morning. the 23—year—old was attacked in a field in derbyshire in 2021, where she'd gone to look after her horse. a former work colleague believed to be responsible was found dead nearby. gracie's parents, alison heaton and richard spinks, spoke to breakfast after her death in 2021. yeah, she was a ray of sunshine,

a beautiful young woman at the beginning of her life, her adult life. she mapped out what she wanted to do. she was passionate about animals and horses. swimming, she loved swimming, didn't she? she was a talented singer, played the piano, beautiful artist. she loved musical theatre. she lit up the room wherever she went. everybody loved gracie. fun, very fun, happy girl and she was the life and soul of our house. we're so proud of her. really proud. i can't believe she's gone. and i don't think we'll ever accept that or believe it. you know, our lives changed that morning. but if, if some good comes out of this and we can change things and make the world a better place, you know, we've got to carry that baton and run with it now and make that change. heavy rainfall has caused widespread flooding in several areas over the weekend. i'm so affected by it that i can

only say it!— i'm so affected by it that i can only say it! this was the scene in lanchester, county durham, where ten homes were evacuated and local shops were damaged. in hastings, a shopping centre was evacuated and the fire service warned people to avoid the area. and this was the cornish town of looe, where residents had to wade through knee—deep water. the environment agency has issued 72 flood warnings covering south wales and much of southern england ahead of storm ciaran approaching on wednesday. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. a beautiful picture of autumn leaves. , ., , a beautiful picture of autumn leaves. , ., ., a beautiful picture of autumn leaves. , ., , ., ., ., leaves. yes, a bit of a autumn brightness _ leaves. yes, a bit of a autumn brightness for _ leaves. yes, a bit of a autumn brightness for the _ leaves. yes, a bit of a autumn brightness for the next i leaves. yes, a bit of a autumn brightness for the next few . leaves. yes, a bit of a autumn l brightness for the next few days leaves. yes, a bit of a autumn - brightness for the next few days but stormy weather, i hate to say it, we could see more scenes like that through the rest of the week. more heavy rainfall to come especially
8:19 am
from wednesday when storm ciaran rolls in, that is when some of the stormiest of the winners will be, especially in england and south wales. the next few days relatively quiet by comparison but we could all have heavy and impactful showers, especially in northern ireland. away from that, a scattering of showers across england and wales, heaviest was the south—west, heavier showers could continue to affect parts of kent and the south—east, merging into longer spells of rain by the end of the day. we will see some sunshine at times, southern scotland, northern ireland, continuing with outbreaks of rain. the brightest weather will be in the northern half of scotland and eastern parts of scotland where we saw flooding a few weeks ago. this is where things will be at their driest, a well welcomed break from the rain and strong winds. feeling cold, fairly cloudy in northern ireland and north england. heavy and
8:20 am
landry showers working north and west, sunshine in between and then long downpours into the south—east. more showers come in western areas and especially the eastern half of northern ireland, concerned with flooding. frost possible in northern parts of scotland but this is storm —— storm ciaran rolling in, we will see the strongest of the winds in the south. doctors investigating the death of the friends actor matthew perry say they need to make further tests before a cause can be given. the 54—year—old was found in the hot tub of his los angeles home on saturday, prompting initial reports he had drowned but the la county medical examiner says additional investigations are needed. fans have been laying flowers both at his home, and in new york where friends was filmed as louisa pilbeam reports. i went to that tanning place your wife suggested. was that place...the sun?!
8:21 am
as chandler, matthew perry was the friend with the driest sense of humour who often got the biggest laughs. someone at work ate my sandwich. well, what did the police say? the actor was found dead in his hot tub at his la home by emergency services on saturday. those who worked with him posted tributes on social media. hank azaria, who played phoebe�*s love interest david, saying perry was even funnier than his character. you know, a girl calls you by her ex—boyfriend's name, that's not a good thing, right? david, let me... let me stop you there, because i think i see where this is going. i'm not very good at giving advice. azaria said, unlike chandler, perry was good at advice — wanting to help others with drink and drug addiction that he struggled so deeply with. he was just, as a sober person, he was so caring and giving and wise, and he totally
8:22 am
helped me get sober. and i really wish he could have done... you know, found the... found it in himself to stay with the sober life more consistently. among other tributes, this from singer adele. one of my friends, andrew, when i was, like, 12, did the best chandler impression. and he would do it all the time to make us laugh. and if any of us were having a bad day orfeeling low, he would just pretend to be chandler. and i remember that character for the rest of my life. fans laid flowers outside his home, where the star died, and spoke about how they will remember him. i know he didn't want to be remembered as the friend — the show from friends — but it's impossible, how could you not? he was friends. and so many people who followed his career will feel the same. it is the role that millions love him for, and how they will remember him, too.
8:23 am
still no official statement from matthew perry because 's co—stars on friends, it is thought they are putting together something that they will publish today. let's look at some more of the tributes that have been paid to matthew perry. actress gwyneth paltrow reminisced about a romantic summer she spent with him before friends started to air, describing him as so funny, so sweet and so much fun to be with. viola davis said she was devastated at the news, saying matthew perry's book shifted so many close to her heart. she said that beyond the joy he brought to many, his heart reigned supreme. comedian omid djalili said regardless of being aware of his demons and despite the world facing humanitarian catastrophes, it's still a shock to wake up
8:24 am
to news about the sad passing of a colossal talent like matthew perry. the duchess of york sarah ferguson, who once made a cameo appearance in friends, posted a photo of herself with the cast and said "it is a tragedy to lose you so early in life, rest in peace, dear matthew. you have given so muchjoy and laughter to so many". the actor sterling knight starred alongside matthew perry in a 2009 comedy film called "17 again", about a middle—aged man who becomes his teenage self. he's been explaining what it was like to work with such a huge star. his character, chandler bing, is probably one of the most iconic sitcom characters that we've had from the states. his timing, his ability to take
8:25 am
what would probably be considered a throwaway line and turn it into something really funny was a talent that i was always... i always admired about him. so, al, basketball season's coming up. you ready? yeah. been working on that outside shot? mm—hm. passing? good. dribbling? really good. well, good's not going to get you a scholarship. i mean it's great. i it's great, it's great. that's my boy. remember, it's not how big you are — it's how big you play. and when i ended up working on the movie, he was very kind to me — as was everybody else — and i made an utter... i think probably the british word of pillock of myself. um... but he was super sweet, he was very generous — not only with me, but with zac and with everybody. and when you're as successful as he was for as long as he was... i know plenty of people that have worked with successful —
8:26 am
that level of success — and the people have not been as kind as they need to be, or they're not required to be that nice to you. and he was always very sweet, he was always very generous and giving. i had a nice talk with him at one point. i remember we were... i was sitting in michelle trachtenberg's trailer and we were hanging out and we were talking as michelle had kind of come up through the nickelodeon stuff, and i was working with disney and he just stopped by while we had some downtime and he probably took 30, a0 minutes tojust hang out with us, ask us what was going on with working — you know, what. .. was there any new stuff that he didn't know? which i found to be quite endearing, mainly because i'm absolutely positive that he knew... ..everything that happened to be going on and progressing in the world of sitcom. but he was nice enough to at least offer a bended ear and listen to our thoughts and perspectives on things, and gave us some
8:27 am
advice and gave us... ..reallyjust general life lessons, i think. and he was such a giving, kind person when he didn't have to be. and i'll always be grateful for that. i think the thing that struck me most about matthew was the fact that he was so kind and so genuine. to not only me, but to everyone that i saw him interact with — especially when he didn't need to be. he gave so much to not only me and zac while we were shooting the film, but he was kind and he was genuine to the rest of the cast, the crew. i'd never found anybody that had anything bad to say about him. and it really struck me how much effort he put in to making sure that people felt heard... ..and would be very, very giving with his time. and that will always sit with me as something to strive for.

the mayor of london called on londoners to be more "tolerant" of each other — in light of the conflict in israel and gaza. anti—semitic and islamophobic hate crimes have soared in recent weeks — as violence has escalated in the middle east. sadiq khan has made it clear that he supports an immediate ceasefire in israel and gaza — which will allow aid into affected areas — but mr khan also wants calm here. i've not met a jewish londoner not affected by what has happened in israel by hamas. similarly, people are horrified by what's happening in gaza. i think all of us should show some sensitivity towards other people's feelings. the university of london appears to be leading the way in teaching new technologies that could help cut carbon emissions. thousands of students from around the world have already been taught at the carbon capture pilot facility at imperial college. it's the only one of its kind in the world. engineers say they work they do here will help reduce emissions from heavy industry.

something to enjoy from trafalgar square yesterday. the hindu festival of diwali was celebrated with music, dance and food. diwali is the festival of light — and the colourful event in the square is the largest in london. let's take a look at the tubes now. severe delays on the overground between stratford and richmond and claphamjunction due to a points failure. train cancellations on thejubilee line. now onto the weather with gemma. good morning. we're set to see an unsettled week of weather this week, but some heavy rain to come and some strong winds in the forecast, as well. as we go through the course of the day today, there's going to be some sunny spells around, but also some showers moving through — some of those showers could be heavy, there could be some thunder and lightning in those, as well,
8:35 am
and we're looking at highs today of around 15 or 16 degrees. as we go through this evening, those showers will continue to push their way eastwards. they should clear up to leave a drier night for most of us, with some long clear spells, and the wind should fall a bit lighter, as well, through the course of tonight — so it will be a cooler night, with lows of around five or six degrees. this coming week is set to be an unsettled week of weather. we've got some very heavy rain and some strong winds to come as we go through wednesday night and into thursday — that's due to storm ciaran, that was named by the met office. there are some yellow warnings out for rain and wind at the moment from the met office, so it's really worth keeping up to date with the latest weather warnings, and keeping up to date with the latest forecast. i will have your next update in half an hour. goodbye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. let's find out what they have in store with helen and rav. good morning. good morning. morning. coming up...

search for petrol prices, all of the ps came up with pumpkins. there are some scary examples but what is scary all year round is how much we are paying for our petrol and diesel at the pumps. let me explain. it never feels like the price at the pump is coming down, does it? that's despite the price of oil falling from the highs of early last year after russia's invasion of ukraine. the most recent figures show the average price at uk forecourts is £1.55 for petrol and £1.62 for diesel. let's compare that to how much retailers are paying for what they sell to you. wholesale prices for petrol last week were £1.13 for petrol and £1.23 for diesel. that means, after vat, for every litre of petrol retailers are making 16p, and diesel it's12p. oil prices rose massively after the russian invasion of ukraine — hitting $121 a barrel.
8:39 am
as chancellor then, rishi sunak cut fuel duty by sp to help ease pressure on drivers. now the oil price has come down to around $90 a barrel. so why aren't we seeing that drop at the pump, and what should retailers be doing? the price of petrol is seriously overcharged at the moment by the supermarkets in particular who leads the market. who lead the market. we're calling on them to implement a 5p—a—litre cut to be fair to drivers. this is also really important from the treasury's point of view, because they're giving drivers a 5p—a—litre duty cut, but they aren't getting it. and it's also very clear that you can sell fuel cheaper because of the wholesale price — because in northern ireland it is only 1.50 a litre at the moment — 5p cheaper than the uk average. we put this to the major supermarkets. asda told us they publish prices of all their stations so customers know what they are paying.
8:40 am
it helps them to shop around. and this all comes as there are reports that the chancellor is under pressure to raise fuel duty for the first time in more than a decade in next month's autumn statement. so we may not see the prices drop at the pump that we want. the fact is we may never mind. lots of you getting in touch about _ never mind. lots of you getting in touch about this, _ never mind. lots of you getting in touch about this, talking - never mind. lots of you getting in touch about this, talking about. never mind. lots of you getting in| touch about this, talking about the big variations between different parts of the country but also between the same company having different prices locally. val has beenin different prices locally. val has been in touch on twitter, saying she paid £1.41 at the petrol station in newton abbot in devon, then drove home to rotherham, where it was £1.61, the same company. she said, when it can theyjustify £1 per gallon difference?— when it can theyjustify £1 per gallon difference? that is a big difference. _ gallon difference? that is a big difference, isn't _ gallon difference? that is a big difference, isn't it? _ gallon difference? that is a big

8:42 am
to united's former captain with a minute's applause. but once the match got under way, it was one—way traffic. erling haaland scored twice to put city in control before phil foden wrapped up the win ten minutes from time. if united were hoping to trim the gap to city, this a reminder there remains a long way to go. well, against the rival and old trafford, yeah, of course. but we played... i had the feeling that this part of the season we were playing... we are playing better than the last season in this part of the season. so, yeah, we are here. so come in old trafford and, yeah, all the time, when here, always we perform well. last season we lost. today, this season, we won, so good. a special atmosphere at the london stadium too as everton marked the passing of their former chairman bill kenwright, who died last week. they were away to west ham, with both sets of fans coming together to mark his
8:43 am
and sir bobby's passing. dominic calvert—lewin scoring the only goal as everton secured a much—needed victory. the emotion of the day perhaps helping them to that win. a major police search is under way in colombia for the the father of liverpool footballer luis diaz who was kidnapped over the weekend. diaz's teammates showed their support holding a shirt aloft after diogojota scored in liverpool's 3—0 win over nottingham forest. the player missed the game following news of the kidnapping of both of his parents, although his mother has since been found. rangers manager philippe clement said his side showed their "never give up" mentality, as they scored twice in the 90th and 93rd minutes to beat hearts. danilo with the winner. and that means rangers cut the gap on leaders celtic to five points. elsewhere, kilmarnock beat aberdeen 2—0.

tributes have been paid to american ice hockey player adam johnson, who died after suffering a serious cut to his neck from a skate while playing for the nottingham panthers on saturday. fans and team—mates have been laying flowers outside the arena in nottingham where the panthers play — his team say they're devasted by what was a "freak accident". the challenge cup game against sheffield steelers was stopped and then abandoned as the 29—year—old received emergency treatment from paramedics on the ice. around 8,000 people were watching the game inside the sheffield arena at the time. and if you didn't catch tyson fury box over the weekend then you missed the world heavyweight champion hitting the canvas against an opponent who was making his world professional boxing debut. in what was a huge surprise fury looked off the pace against former ufc champion francis ngannou, yet was surprisingly handed the win. fury�*s promoter frank warren's said

the planned undisputed world heavyweight fight between him and oleksander usyk is unlikely to take place this year. luckily his belts weren't on the line. it was meant to be about the setup, the big bout. they face off each other in the ring afterwards but alexandra vecic will be thinking bring it on, possibly, after that. all add to the drama. i bring it on, possibly, after that. all add to the drama.— all add to the drama. i love the fact that we _ all add to the drama. i love the fact that we talk _ all add to the drama. i love the fact that we talk about - all add to the drama. i love the fact that we talk about it - all add to the drama. i love the fact that we talk about it as - all add to the drama. i love the fact that we talk about it as a l fact that we talk about it as a friendly. they are not friendly. thank you. he's one of the most successful british artists of all time and is currently celebrating 65 years in the music industry. but despite his success, sir cliff richard has told bbc breakfast he has no plans to retire — even at 83! in fact, he's about to release a new album, book and cinema tour. charlie went to meet him. cliff.
8:46 am
lovely to see you. thank you. nice to see you. yeah. and you're going to teach me how to sit properly in a chair because you've got a bit of theatrical experience. what's. .. it's nothing to do with theatrical, it depends on how your back is. i have... i used to have trouble with the lower part of my back... ah! ..and this chair is really not good for it because normally i'd have a cushion behind it... 0k. ..pushing to sit straight. ah! so the only answer i can give you is to sit as straight as you can. i'll try. how am i doing? is that all right? yeah, but the jacket�*s bad. is it... 0k! this isn't going well so far. what's wrong with the jacket? nothing. how's the back now, by the way? it's good now. and it leads us nicely onto the question about how you are. you'vejust had a birthday, right? yes, i have. imean, i... i can't believe it, really. i'm going on tour and it's my 65th year singing. # it's so funny. # why we don't talk any more. my birthday led me to be 83.
8:47 am
and are we comfortable with 83? how's the cliff richard mindset at 83? i don't know how to f... i mean, i feel fantastic. imean, i'm... i'm going on tour. i've got a book out. i've got an album coming out. and when my tour starts, we're going to film it and i'm going to be in cinema. so...what do i feel? fabulous. does the word "slowing down" ever have anything to do with your life? yes. i have in the last few years tried to slow down. in other words, i don't do as much. like what? well, for instance, if i'm going to do a tour, i try to make sure that i have a day off every other day so that i'm not constantly singing. i can't do that any more. and obviously i don't want to retire, but i'm probably going to stop. like a red light. see the red light, you stop. if it goes green, you think, "ok, i'll go now." so i've left myself open to still be available to do things as long as i can.
8:48 am
fortunately, i can still sing. that's the main thing. and i don't need ai for help. yet. i won't need it because the minute i can't sing, i won't do it any more. i'm not sure that i would want to put out a record that i hadn't actually sung in tune on. do you know what i mean? if you can't do it any more, just be graceful and move out. on the hologram theme — which may or may not happen — what era cliff richard would you like it to be? would it be the 20—year—old, the 18—year—old cliff richard, or the 50—year—old, or... what era would you like to maintain? i think i would like to maintain the '80s. # got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, livin' doll. # got to do my best to please her. # just cos she's a livin' doll. do you have an exercise regime? like, when you get up in the morning... because famously, some performers who perform to, you know, a greater age...have a regime
8:49 am
they stick to, which is how they keep doing the job. do you do that? yeah, well, in a way. but you talk about getting out of bed — for instance, i never get up without stretching. i stretch my knees this way, that way, pull them up, that way, that way. i put my arms behind my back to straighten the thing. and when i get out of bed... ok, we'll go with it. we'll follow you, you can do it. ..i put my calf muscles against the bed and straighten up. that's what i do. and the vocal exercises i do were given to me by olivia newton—john as a birthday gift from her coach. # the wheels are in motion. #and i... and the other thing that's really easy to do in the car — it's embarrassing if someone's sitting next to you — is to croak. he croaks. ..because your vocal cords are never as relaxed as when you're doing that. it's just the first...
8:50 am
what am i doing here? it sounds a bit like... it sounds like you're not well, to be honest with you! well, that's why you can't really do it in public. no, because everyone would be worried. they're thinking, "i've just see cliff richard and he's not well!" "he's sick," yes. well, people think i'm sick anyway, but what the heck? if someone were watching this interview — which goes out on bbc breakfast — and they'd never heard of cliff richard... younger — maybe the young people — how would you describe yourself? a lot of people that i meet — younger folks, like below the age of 25 — say, "do you still record?" and i have to say to them, "well, my album is in the charts, but it's not your fault you don't know, because probably you've not heard me." so i've been fighting for years to see if we can get some airplay on radio, because rock and roll and radio were hand—in—glove in those old days. you made a record hoping and wishing that it would be played. and of course it was played. and the higher you got into the record chart, the more your record was played on radio. not... no age is counted. so do you think your industry is ageist?
8:51 am
because people might say now, you've got examples — you've got the rolling stones... yeah. you've got people who are playing on and on and on, and carrying on. and they can still do it, you see, that's the thing. yeah. the rolling stones are still probably the biggest, most popular band on the planet because they can still do it. mick still sings live. they still play live. and that's what i try to do. # here am i. # i'm looking for you. # wondering why do i feel so blue? and this tour, for instance, i'm singing all 14 of my number ones, so everybody in that audience that's coming to see me — well, most have probably bought at least five of them, and they're going to know them. # christmas time. # mistletoe and wine. # children singing christian rhyme. in your book, you talk a lot about elvis, because you're a massive fan and he was an inspiration to you.
8:52 am
he was. i think i know the answer to this. do you do an elvis impersonation? i used to try to do it, and i think sometimes, when i was still at school at 15, we used to do an end—of—term party thing. and i had a group called the quinto — five of us — and we'd sing boop—doo—wop stuff — # eddie, my love # — all that. and then somebody shouted, "harry, do the elvis thing!" and i'd get up and go... "uh-huh-huh!" and i, you know... i think i did quite well at it, but i was only 15 then. # come on, pretty baby. # let's move it an' a groove it. # well, a shake—a baby shake. # well, honey please don't lose it. was there ever a point, cliff, in your career, when you sort of thought about your path as a performer where you thought, the nice guy, the kind of the clean—living guy image... ..or the other route — you know, the kind of bad boy, you know, the music
8:53 am
industry or whatever. was there ever a kind of conscious decision to go, "do you know what? i'll be that." no. i don't ever want to be bad. # we're all going on a summer holiday. # no more working for a week or two. and even in the early days, they tried to plaster me as a rebellion. and i'm thinking, "no." i never had anything to rebel. i had a great family life. and when i'm with my sisters, sometimes we've talked about, "do you ever remember being unhappy?" and none of us can remember that. it's been lovely chatting. if i said... would you give us something? just a line of something to sing us out of this interview? i'll tell you what. it's... # right from early days, from the moment i was born. # i would take my guitar in the early, early morning. # and go down to the fields and play. # yay, yay. # sittin' down there in the long grass, strummin'. # i could see the people from miles around comin'. # to hear me sing my music and play.
