control of northern gaza after intense fighting. 50,000 palestinians fled to gaza city yesterday three evacuation routes after israel open a safe passage on the road to the south for several hours. meanwhile, a senior un official has accused both sides of committing war crimes. here is more from yolande knell. israel's vast military might on display once again. it says hamas has lost control of northern gaza and its troops are battling inside gaza city. this is a critical point in the war. and for the first time the bbc was given access behind israeli lines in gaza, escorted by soldiers. while the bbc had editorial control of the report, these pictures were cleared for use by the israeli military. i made it a huge disruption, officers showed what they said was a hamas weapons

the day densely israeli air strikes were reported across the length of the strip. —— deadly. the hamas run authorities now say more than 10,500 people have been killed. the un secretary—general says the civilian death toll in gaza shows something is clearly wrong with israeli military operations. but also that hamas is using people as human shields. meanwhile, the un human to commissioner, visiting the region, is accusing both israel and hamas war crimes. after g7 top diplomats voiced their concerns at a meeting injapan, attention is also beginning to turn to the post—war future. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, said there should be a united palestinian led government for gaza and the west bank as a step towards palestinian statehood. it’s towards palestinian statehood. it's also clear towards palestinian statehood. it�*s also clear that israel cannot occupy gaza. now the reality is that there

may be a need for some sort of transition period. at the end of the conflict. but it is imperative that the palestinian people be central to governance in gaza and in the west bank as well. but governance in gaza and in the west bank as well-— bank as well. but for now, this conflict rages _ bank as well. but for now, this conflict rages on. _ bank as well. but for now, this conflict rages on. hamas - bank as well. but for now, this conflict rages on. hamas mayl bank as well. but for now, this i conflict rages on. hamas may be hugely outgunned, but its guerrilla tactics on the streets of gaza could keep the war with israel going for months to come. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. we can speak to your knell now. tell us more about the movements of people heading south? cannot continue today?— people heading south? cannot continue today? yes, it looks like it can. in about— continue today? yes, it looks like it can. in about an _ continue today? yes, it looks like it can. in about an hour— continue today? yes, it looks like it can. in about an hour the - continue today? yes, it looks like| it can. in about an hour the israeli military will open this four hour window for people to move from north to south. of course, the roads are very difficult. people are having to

go on foot. there is a shortage of fuel, even if they do have their vehicles. but it has only been for the past several days we have had this safe passage aloud once again. we have seen really big numbers on the move. 50,000 yesterday. 15,000 the move. 50,000 yesterday. 15,000 the day before. we are looking closely to see what happened today. what we have heard from residents who are leaving gaza city, of course we don't know the relocations of israeli ground troops, but they say they are seeing and hearing them in different neighbourhoods quite deep inside the city, not far from the hospital, they say they can hear battles taking place with hamas fighters. schiffer hospital is where israel says it believes hamas leaders have a command centre. doctors there strongly deny that. the problem is in the south there is still the severe shortages of food

asserted yesterday?— considering what the prime minister asserted yesterday? suella braverman is never one — asserted yesterday? suella braverman is never one to — asserted yesterday? suella braverman is never one to mince _ asserted yesterday? suella braverman is never one to mince her— asserted yesterday? suella braverman is never one to mince her words, - asserted yesterday? suella braverman is never one to mince her words, as i is never one to mince her words, as you know, naga. but this is really quite some article that she has written in the times this morning. it is worth pulling out a few things. she describes the pro—palestinian protests, as she has done before, at hate marches. she describes those involved as a mob. she accuses senior police officers of employing a double standard. she says they take a softer approach to left—wing protests such as black lives matter than right—wing protests, such as anti—lockdown protest. he says the protests more generally are an assertion of privacy by certain groups, particularly islamist. this is a really incendiary peace. some people would support it but a lot of people will oppose it. one thing that really strikes me, as you mention, is that it came just a few hours after the row between the government

anti—metropolitan police seem to be anti—metropolitan police seem to be a little bit. the prime minister summoned a sir mark rowley, the commission of the metropolitan police, to downing street yesterday to explain why he had not asked the government for permission to ban the march planned for london on saturday. and afterwards, the prime minister seem to suggest that he had been given reassurances by the metropolitan police that it would take a firm approach to any disruption on saturday, and do all it could to protect the remembrance events. but a few hours later, and this article by suella braverman, and the row is more intense than it has been before. looking at the politics, it is fair to say there has been a lot of frustration within the conservative party at suella braverman pass rhetoric. i think a lot of conservatives do agree with the kind substance of her views, and probably with this article too. i spoke to one senior conservative yesterday who said, how much longer do downing street want? every day

the news agenda is dominated by senior conservatives having to answer questions about whether they do or don't agree with suella braverman's latest rhetoric. they put this question to be a few hours before this article was published. the question is even more pressing now. ., ~' the question is even more pressing now. ., ~ , ., now. thank you. henry _ now. thank you. henry zeffman. | now. thank you. - henry zeffman. there has now. thank you. _ henry zeffman. there has been a breakthrough in the long—running dispute between rail workers and train operators, which could end 18 months of industrial action. ben is going to explain. good morning- _ ben is going to explain. good morning. industrial— ben is going to explain. good morning. industrial dispute . ben is going to explain. (emf. morning. industrial dispute over pay and conditions have cause most disruption on the railways. trains not always running quite like that. it looks like the two sides could be moving towards a deal as train bosses have made a new offer to the rmt union. the dispute has been going on for 18 months. sincejune last year. workers have been calling for a betterjob security, pay and conditions. but following negotiations between the rmt and the

rail delivery group representing train operators, a deal has now been developed. what's in it? well, the bbc understands the offer involves a backdated pay rise for 2020 25%, or £1715. and job security guarantees, such as no compulsory redundancies until the end of 202a. rmt members will now vote on the deal in the referendum. that closes in november the 30th. it is the first deal they have voted on since the start of the dispute. i should just mention that there is a separate dispute with train drivers in the aslef union. that remains ongoing. so walk—outs over the christmas and new year period, those still could be possible. thank you very much. guidance has been issued to technology companies are setting out how they should combat internet grooming and deal with images of child sexual abuse. the media regulator 0fcom has set out the first of its measures to

showers will be in the south and the west, where they could be heavy and thundery, with some hail. wintry above about 600 metres, so the tops of the hills, in scotland. windy in the south, particularly the south—west of england. a lot of us will miss showers and have a largely dry day. there will be fewer in central and eastern areas as well as across northern scotland inland. and temperature wise today, there is no heat wave, that is for sure. nine to 11 degrees north to south. as we head through the evening and overnight, the winds remained strong across the south—west. there will still be a rash of showers. further north we will have some clear skies. mist and fog patches forming as well. the temperatures dropping away. across scotland, perhaps northern england as well, we could start the day with a touch of frost. not so as we come further south. we start off with cloudy and damp weather in southern wales, southern england, pushing down towards the far south—east. england, pushing down towards the

right—wing groups. the eye covers the reaction to those comments, suggesting a growing number of tories are concerned her comments will inflame tensions and a few will anger on the far right. there are some reports had busy rail stations have been left with that poppy sellers this year amid fears of more pro—palestine protests. —— without p°ppy pro—palestine protests. —— without poppy sellers. and many papers, including the daily telegraph, feature pictures of the princess of wales as she flies a drone whilst visiting a british army barracks in norfolk. a story in one of the science pages about research that has been done on tongue twisters. are you good at tongue twisters? not particularly know. a professor has written a piece about tongue twisters and what they could be used for. so, the idea is you get a saying like... a pickled pepper, peter piper picked a pickled pepper phrase.

is that correct? yes. just the one time. you programme it into your car, so there is a voice—activated thing on the lock, so that in case you're drunk you say it to the car, the car detects you can't say it properly and won't allow you to dry. this is stanford university. they give people a weight —based alcohol dose, enough to intoxicate them, and asked them over and over again to recite tongue twisters as they got more and morejunk. not surprisingly, what they discovered was that people got worse at saying peter piper — that! the more they drank of the worst they got, therefore the car could detect it, not allow you into the car and stop people from drinking and driving. how does it affect summary like you who can't say it? i can.

go on. the other one is she sells sea shells on the seashore. if you're the kind of person who is going to drink and drive —— drink and drive, you are not going to programme this into your car. and clearly if you think you might be, don't drive, that is the obvious thing to do rather than stand there saying stupid things to your car. it is just research. it is all an effort, isn't it? 23 minutes past six. a number of former mcdonald's employees are taking legal action against the fast food chain after a bbc investigation exposed a toxic culture of sexual harassment, racism and bullying. the firm's uk chief executive said he is determined to root out any behaviour that fell short of the high standards expected of the company. zoe, this report. ed is studying for his a—levels. he started a newjob at mcdonald's at the beginning of the year. very soon, one of the senior managers at the store repeatedly pestered him for six.

—— sex. ed was 16. this happened in front of others. he would say it was just banter. but then, behind closed doors, in the fridge or the coolroom, or the stockroom, when no—one else was there. he would very much give the impression that he was being absolutely serious. it's gross and disgusting and horrifying that someone with that much power in the workplace could say something like that to a 16—year—old, such as myself. the harassment went on for several months until ed quit in april. i was really upset. it did take a toll on my mental health. i did have some shifts where i would get upset about going into work and would cry a lot before going into my shifts. yeah.

injuly, a bbc investigation revealed that more 100 current and recent employees and experienced a culture of harassment and bullying at the company. several workers told the bbc there were too scared to complain to managers, because they didn't think they would be believed. you went to a senior manager and asked for help. what happened ? i tried to explain to a senior manager that someone who was much older than me was sexually harassing me and making sexual comments to me. i was informed by the person i tried to report it to that if they heard any more about it i would face severe consequences, including not being eligible for promotion. ed is one of a number of ex—mcdonald's workers taking the company to court. it could be one of the first #metoo group actions in the uk.

following the bbc investigation we were contacted by a number of people. on examination there were things coming through about how mcdonald's practices and systems were happening. and in particular in relation to how vulnerable the youngest workers at mcdonald's are. and we felt that they should — mcdonald's should be held accountable by this young group of people. after the bbc investigation into mcdonald's was broadcast injuly, another 160 people contacted us with allegations of bullying and harassment, and 200 people contacted the quality watchdog, the hrc, with their complaints. several current employees have told us that the workplace culture of mcdonald's has not changed much sincejuly. steve reed contacted the bbc injuly about what he said was a sexist and bullying culture at the store his daughters worked out.

liv decided to quit at the beginning of summer. she says one of the senior managers was openly racist about a new employee. there was a member of staff, fairly new to the store, about two or three weeks in, and she was sikh, and pretty much there was a comment made about how it was her type of people that bomb us. hearing something like that disgusted me. you're supposed to be supporting people, but you are openly and freely saying things like that. you are still working there. has it changed since liv left? it's the same. the behaviour is still as she left, exactly _ the behaviour is still as she left, exactly the — the behaviour is still as she left, exactly the same. it hasn't changed. it's meant to be a friendly environment. and it isn't. the language that is there isjust unacceptable. it's heartbreaking.

| the worst thing is probably thatj nothing has been done about it. nothing has changed, you know, since july.| in a statement, alistair macrow, ceo of mcdonald's uk and ireland said:.

mcdonald's prides itself on employing one of the youngest workforces in the country. its critics say it is failing in its duty to keep them safe. zoe conway, bbc news. and we will have more from zoe later in the programme. coming up, one of the most famous film outfits ever made, up for auction tonight. the cost worn by three sepia, one of star wars' best known characters, goes under the hammer. —— c3 pl. find out more after six o'clock. there will be a lot of people interested in that. high prices, i'm thinking. time for the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london.

businesses in the west end are pleading for the return of vat—free shopping this christmas, after the government ended it in 2021. london businesses are at a 20 percent price disadvantage compared to their european neighbours — according to the new west end company. but the treasury says it lets foreign tourists claim back the tax as they return home, which doesn't benefit the british public. an historic east london church is among 10 sites across the city to be added to heritage england's at—risk register. the church of st george in the east, in stepney, and the upminster tithe barn in havering are among those considered to be at risk. the 10 sites face decay and neglect, the public body said. however, an "exceptional" 41 sites across london have been removed from the register thanks to various interventions. leading academics have said 2—3 days in the office is where many businesses should be aiming, as workers expect a more hybrid type of employment. for professions where this is practical — some employers such as zoom — say it pays to have people

in the office for some of the time, but also to be flexible and to offer days at home. employers' expectations have changed. and those employers that don't realise that, and adapt accordingly, are setting themselves up for business failure in many ways. after three years of work and £250 million, an upgraded gatwick railway station will open to passengers on november 21st. it will make manyjourneys five minutes quicker. with 20 million passengers a year, it's the region's busiest station outside london. a new concourse above the platforms has been built while both the railway and the airport remained open. it's been a huge challenge to build a new airport concourse above an operational railway that's as busy as this — a railway that operates 24/7 and an airport that works 24/7. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a part closure on the 0verground, and minor delays on the bakerloo line.

now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there are a few showers around this morning. quite a breezy day as well, but we will see some sunny spells developing. the showers being blown through on that south westerly. and when the cloud breaks up, we'll see the sunny spells, but really anywhere could see a shower through the day. temperatures getting up to around 11 celsius. now overnight tonight, still a few showers blowing through some clearer spells, at least to start with. but then we'll see more cloud and more rain moving in from the west as we head through to dawn on friday morning. the minimum temperature dropping down to around five or six celsius for tomorrow. we'll get the rain in the morning, but it will gradually start to clear away. it is looking largely dry as we head into the afternoon. some sunshine to end the working week and temperatures tomorrow around ten celsius. so feeling quite cool. despite the sunshine. the wind starts to veer from the northwest.

now it is looking largely dry as we head into saturday. but then sunday we've got some outbreaks of rain. they could be quite heavy as we head into the afternoon. that's it from us for now. i'm back with your news travel and weather updates in half an hour. now it's back to naga and charlie. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. mike is here with more disappointment. aha, mike is here with more disappointment. mike is here with more disauointment. �* . ., , . .,., . disappointment. a crazy, chaotic ni . ht in disappointment. a crazy, chaotic night in copenhagen. _ disappointment. a crazy, chaotic night in copenhagen. 400 - disappointment. a crazy, chaotic night in copenhagen. 400 years| disappointment. a crazy, chaotic i night in copenhagen. 400 years on from _ night in copenhagen. 400 years on from shakespeare's first folio and he would — from shakespeare's first folio and he would not have scripted the drama — he would not have scripted the drama. manchester united with a turbulent— drama. manchester united with a turbulent season, 2—0 cruising, and cope _ turbulent season, 2—0 cruising, and cope and _ turbulent season, 2—0 cruising, and cope and hagan come back and marcus rashford _ cope and hagan come back and marcus rashford is _ cope and hagan come back and marcus rashford is sent off and manchester united _ rashford is sent off and manchester united fans cry there is something rotten— united fans cry there is something rotten in— united fans cry there is something rotten in the state of denmark about a plot _ rotten in the state of denmark about a plot twist— rotten in the state of denmark about a plot twist at the end, player called — a plot twist at the end, player called rune comes in and scores the

"your theatre of nightmares. " a warning that soon looked a little bit silly. what a start this is. rasmus hoyland put united ahead, and when the former copenhagen player made it 2—0, it seemed it was he that was doing the haunting. but in a flash, everything changed. a clumsy challenge from marcus rashford and he was sent off and how copenhagen capitalised. mohamed elyounoussi pulled one back and after a handball

by harry maguire, it was a penalty. and somehow it was two all at the break. scores! but the drama had barely begun. this time, a copenhagen handball and bruno fernandes fired united back ahead. but their ten men couldn't cling on as two late copenhagen goals gave the hosts a 4—3 win. a champions league classic. but for united, that won't be much consolation. arsenal, meanwhile, remain top of their group after they beat sevilla 2—0. goals from leandro trossard and after the break from bukayo saka. for them, at least, a straightforward night. andy swiss, bbc news. after the game the manchester united manager was bemoaning the lack for his side on some of the decisions. we are winning the game, and i think the red _ we are winning the game, and i think the red card _ we are winning the game, and i think the red card changes everything. and then we _ the red card changes everything. and then we conceded two goals before half time _ then we conceded two goals before half time which should never have

after an absolutely woeful cricket world cup campaign, england eventually remembered how to win again — only their second victory of the competition, beating the netherlands by 160 runs in pune. ben stokes orchestrated the victory with his first world cup century and whilst they are out of the tournament finishing eighth out of ten is important as they have to get into the top eight to get them into the champions trophy competition and england are up to seventh following this. former captain eoin morgan has described england as a sinking ship that the current skipperjos buttler insists they are still fighting. everyone has been frustrated, but the guys _ everyone has been frustrated, but the guys have stayed tight and everyone has stayed really close and kept working hard and you don't get to the _ kept working hard and you don't get to the level of player we have in the squad — to the level of player we have in the squad without having that personal pride and work ethic and determination to put things right when _ determination to put things right when they are not going the way you want _ when they are not going the way you want. �* . , when they are not going the way you want. �* .,, ., . , when they are not going the way you want. ~ .. ,., ., , want. and the last matches against pakistan on — want. and the last matches against

why i should stick my neck out for you is quite beyond my capacity. of course, the key. item is his beautiful, beautiful face. even better, even better if i do that. what was it like to wear? awful. 0n the inside, absolutely awful. first of all, it's kind of up there to my nose and then no, no peripheral vision at all. so absolutely tunnel vision. did you hear that? they shut down the main reactor. they'll be destroyed for sure. you originally didn't want this part, did you? no, ididn't. i didn't. i'd been acting a couple of years, and i think i thought i was rather serious actor. boy, did that change. george lucas wanted somebody who was to have a certain amount of ability with mimes. and then he showed me ralph mcquarrie's concept painting. i looked at that original face

that was kind of looking out. so lost, so forlorn, so adrift, really. and i wanted to help him. c3p0 head is expected to fetch between £500,000 and £1 million. not bad given that many assumed star wars would be a flop. carrie, mark, harrison, myself, sir alec guinness. we all agreed it was rubbish that nobody would ever go and see this stuff. 0nly george lucas believed. and one of my of course favourite things is the original script. which, do you notice, it says the star wars because that's what it was. one of my favorite scenes is right at the beginning where r2 and 3p0 are kind of lost in the desert. they couldn't get r2 to go up a slope in the sand. it was on a piano wire being pulled and he says we seem to be made to suffer.

it's our lot in life. i've got to rest before i fall apart. myjoints are almost frozen. hearing that voice, anthony, it's amazing to hear you saying that. seeing the words in the script, i think are lovely. the script is expected to fetch between 10 and £20,000. star wars aside for movie buffs with money to spare, this auction is a big deal. this is harrison ford's whip. indiana jones's whip, used in indiana jones and the temple of doom. this has an auction estimate of £100 to £200,000. so this is freddy kruger's razor blade, finger glove from a nightmare on elm street. we've really seen a surge of interest in horror collectors over the last few years. it has an auction estimate of £200 to £400,000. i think it could soar well past that. will you be sad to see him go? he's very much here.

i love the line. "we are doomed", because, you know, it is his take on life. but then in the last film, we had this wonderful line where poe dameron says, you know, what are you doing for 3p0? taking one last look, sir. at my friends. star wars, a new home. tim muffett, bbc news. anthony daniels is such a lovely man. we have interviewed him on the sofa and he was always so lovely and thoroughly enthusiastic about it all. lets talk to carol because she has the weather. whether she has. you have tried that twice today. i’m you have tried that twice today. i'm auoin to you have tried that twice today. i'm going to keep going. 0h _ you have tried that twice today. i'm going to keep going. oh no, - you have tried that twice today. i'm| going to keep going. oh no, charlie.

benefit the british public. an historic east london church is among 10 sites across the city to be added to heritage england's at—risk register. the church of st george in the east, in stepney, and the upminster tithe barn in havering, are among those considered to be at risk. the 10 sites face decay and neglect, the public body said. however, an exceptional 41 sites across london have been removed from the register thanks to various interventions. after three years of work and £250 million, an upgraded gatwick railway station will open to passengers on november zist. it will make manyjourneys five minutes quicker. with 20 million passengers a year, it's the region's busiest station outside london. a new concourse above the platforms has been built while both the railway and the airport remained open. it's been a huge challenge to build

a new airport concourse above an operational railway that's as busy as this — a railway that operates 24/7 and an airport that works 21r/7. one of the oldest women in london is celebrating her birthday this week. ellen haylorfrom barnes, turns 105 years old. she worked on the home front during the war and helped with the rationing of food. we had to go into an air raid shelter, which the government supplied. landmines came down on a parachute. we had one land at the top of our road. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a part closure on the 0verground, and minor delays on the bakerloo line. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there are a few showers around this morning. quite a breezy day as well, but we will see some sunny

spells developing. the showers being blown through on that south westerly. and when the cloud breaks up, we'll see the sunny spells, but really anywhere could see a shower through the day. temperatures getting up to around 11 celsius. now overnight tonight, still a few showers blowing through, some clearer spells, at least to start with. but then we'll see more cloud and more rain moving in from the west as we head through to dawn on friday morning. the minimum temperature dropping down to around five or six celsius. for tomorrow. we'll get the rain in the morning, but it will gradually start to clear away. it is looking largely dry as we head into the afternoon. some sunshine to end the working week and temperatures tomorrow around ten celsius. so feeling quite cool, despite the sunshine. the wind starts to veer from the northwest. now it is looking largely dry as we head into saturday. but then sunday we've got some outbreaks of rain. they could be quite heavy as we head into the afternoon. that's it from us for now.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines. the home secretary accuses the metropolitan police of treating pro—palestinian protests differently to demonstrations by right—wing groups. the israeli military says hamas has lost control of northern gaza after intense fighting. could this be the end of a long—running dispute between railway workers and train companies? rmt members are voting on a new deal after nearly 18 months of strikes and disruption. hollywood actors are returning to work after a deal was reached to end their four—month old strike. an absolutely astonishing night in the champions league for manchester united. the led twice, were down to ten men, then defeat to copenhagen — another big blow in a difficult season.

good morning. today is another day of sunshine and showers, most of which will be in the south and west. some will be heavy. it will also be windy in the south—west of england. into the weekend are some of us will see some rain. details later. good morning. it's thursday, 9th of november. the home secretary has accused the metropolitan police of "playing favourites", by treating pro—palestinian marches differently to demonstrations by right wing groups. it follows scotland yard's decision not to ban an event planned on armistice day this weekend. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. do you want to take us through some of the language that is being used and why this is of significance, bearing in mind this is the home secretary's comments?- secretary's comments? suella braverman — secretary's comments? suella braverman does _ secretary's comments? suella braverman does not _ secretary's comments? suella braverman does not mince - secretary's comments? suella| braverman does not mince her secretary's comments? suella -

braverman does not mince her words. let me give you a few choice phrases from these articles he has written for the times. she describes the pro—palestinian protests, as she has done before with some controversy, as hate marches. she says those involved amount to a mob. she accuses senior police officers employing a double standard, that is she says they take a softer approach, notjust to these protests but what she describes as left—wing protest such as the black lives matter protests in 2020, compared to how they police on the protest. she identifies the anti lock protest during the pandemic. she also says these protests are an assertion of privacy by certain groups, particularly islamist. what really strikes me is that this article came just a few hours after the row between the government and the metropolitan police over the policing of this protest on saturday, and armistice day, appeared to be just cooling off a

little bit. rishi sunak summoned sir mark rowley, the met chief, to downing street yesterday to explain why he hadn't asked that the government to ban the protest. afterwards he said he had been given reassurances by the metropolitan police that they were doing all they could to protect remembered events and prevent disruption. the garment position at that point was an acceptance that these protests were going ahead. —— the government position. then take stock and see what happens. now the government is embroiled in a more intense row with the metropolitan police than at any point during this episode. it is frustrating conservatives. speaking to senior people in government, it is not that they necessarily disagree with the substance of what suella braverman says. a lot of them are determined to stick up for the jewish community. there has been a steep rise in anti—semitism in recent days. some of them believe these marches have encouraged that. some of them believe the police have been too soft on these protests. but her language, her rhetoric, particularly because she is the home

secretary, does seem to repeatedly cause unease at the top of the conservative party and at the top of government. somebody was asking me yesterday how much longer downing street would put up with senior ministers going into the media to say whether they agreed or disagreed with the latest thing the home secretary had said. that question they put to me a few hours before that question dropped. —— article dropped. the question is more pressing now. thank you. that discussion about the protest at the weekend is because of what is happening in the middle east. they have been a number of development overnight. yes, there have. the israeli military says hamas — designated a terrorist organisation by the uk — has now lost control of northern gaza, after intense fighting. 50,000 palestinians fled gaza city yesterday through evacuation routes, after israel opened a safe passage on the road to the south, for several hours. meanwhile, a senior un official has accused both this sides of committing war crimes. let's speak now to our correspondent

mark lowen, who's in israel. good morning. we saw this window yesterday for people to move. is that window going to be reopened today? it that window going to be reopened toda ? . . . that window going to be reopened toda ? , , . ., , today? it is expected to be reapened. _ today? it is expected to be reopened, naga. - today? it is expected to be reopened, naga. it- today? it is expected to be reopened, naga. it has - today? it is expected to be| reopened, naga. it has not today? it is expected to be - reopened, naga. it has not been confirmed by the israelis but they say it could again be reopened today. actually, it was extended, it was open for an extended period of time yesterday, another hour on top of what they thought they were going to make accessible, but given the numbers, they say, that crossed from the north to the south of gaza, fleeing the most intense of the military offensive in the north, the israeli defence forces say 50,000 took that road yesterday. so, it would probably be expected that a similar number could flee today, even though there were also air strikes in the south yesterday that the palestinians said killed 23 people. that is on the safe passage

line. otherwise we have heard now from our team inside gaza, it has been confirmed that talks are ongoing, mediated by the qataris, involving the americans, over the release of 12 hostages. some of them are americans. that would be a glimmer of hope in this historic conflict. and the last development is of course antony blinken, the us secretary of state, pushing and talking about what could happen in gaza post hamas, post the conflict, saying that gaza should be part of a future palestinian state, but de—militarised and free of the hamas thread. so, as all parties throughout to talk and think more about the shape of gaza, if and when hamas is finally eliminated. thank ou ve hamas is finally eliminated. thank you very much- — hamas is finally eliminated. thank you very much. mark _ hamas is finally eliminated. thank you very much. mark lowen. - you very much. mark lowen. there has been a breakthrough in the long—running dispute between rail workers and train operators, which could end 18 months of industrial

action. ben has more action. code is the key word. yes, it all depends on what happens in a crucial vote. industrial disputes over pay and conditions have caused disruption on the railways. but finally it looks as if the two sides could be moving towards a deal as train bosses have made a new offer to members of the rmt union. the dispute has been going on for 18 months, sincejune 2022. workers have been calling for a betterjob security, pay and working conditions. but following negotiations between the rmt union and the rail delivery group, representing train operators, a deal has taken shape. the bbc understands the offer involves a backdated pay rise for 2022 of 5%, or £1750, and job security guarantees, such as no compulsory redundancies until the end of next year. rmt members will

now vote on the deal in an online referendum, which closes on the 30th of november. it is the first deal they have voted on since the start of the dispute. so, it is significant. i should just mention that a separate dispute with train drivers of the aslef union remains ongoing. walk over christmas and the new year could still be possible. thank you. guidance has been issued to technology companies, setting out how they should combat internet grooming and deal with images of child sexual abuse. the media regulator 0fcom has set out the first of its measures, to help firms comply with the government's online safety act. changing default settings so children don't appear in recommended friends lists, is among the plans. the nhs is launching a five—year study to see how blood tests might help diagnose people with early—stage alzheimer's disease. experts say spotting the condition sooner, could allow people to have new treatments to slow the disease. currently, there is no single test for alzheimer's, and patients can wait years for a diagnosis.

an independent inquiry into the uk's deadliest migrant boat incident has been ordered by the government. at least 27 people, including a pregnant woman and three children, died when their boat sank in 2021. simonjones has the details. 27 people died, four are still missing, when their boat capsized in the channel in 2021. that day, more than 1200 people made numbeous attempts at the crossing. the marine accident investigation branch has found that, due to poor weather conditions, there was a lack of aerial surveillance available. without a clear picture of the number of migrant boats crossing the dover straight, their location or the level of distress each boat was experiencing, hm coastguard were severely limited in its ability to mount an effective search and rescue response. overnight, the lack of staff

at the maritime centre in dover meant there were insufficient resources to correlate information from emergency calls. this may have contributed to the erroneous determination that the migrant boat in distress had been found and those on board rescued by a border force vessel. now the transport secretary has ordered an independent non—statutory inquiry. he says he wants to provide clarity to the victims' family, a move welcomed by the dover mp. it underlines the importance of making sure these vessels are not in the water in the first place, that there is a joint security zone with france running across the channel, so that wherever boats need to be intercepted, they can be swiftly, and they can be taken back to france. we wouldn't then see this tragic loss of life. his majesty's coastguard says it works in the most challenging conditions imaginable to save lives. it said it sent a helicopter to the scene. it put out emergency messages to shipping and requested the help of

the french authorities. the french refused to co—operate with the initial investigation, leaving the families of those who survived with questions. 0ur position is that the inquiry must be statutory. it will require power to compel witnesses and disclosure of evidence. the number of deaths and the public interest in this case strongly speak in favour of a statutory public inquiry. ultimately, the family want to get to the truth of what happened on that night, and they want the lessons to be learned and deaths to be prevented in the future. since the tragedy around 75,000 people have made the crossing. investigators are now calling for the better sharing of information between the uk and france, to try to prevent further loss of life. simon jones, bbc news. a deal has been reached to end a strike by actors in hollywood which has halted tv and film production forfour months. it

has halted tv and film production for four months. it resolves disputes about streaming revenue and the use of artificial intelligence. peter bowes reports from los angeles. for many in hollywood it was a strike that it felt like it would never end. actors and their studio bosses are divided. their differences went much further than pay, with the use of artificial intelligence in storytelling a defining issue for the future of the industry. jane fonda expressed her fears when she joined a picket line in hollywood. it'll be replicated without my consent in a context i am not aware of and i won't be paid for it. coming up on the right is the capitol records building. most actors are not famous. they work when they can, but often have to supplement their income doing otherjobs. take ben. i'm not an a—list actor.

i'm a journeyman actor trying to make a living doing this. but during the strike he says he was forced to spend more time on the back—upjob as a hollywood tour guide. ijust basically had to go back to the grind, what we call the la hustle, juggling jobs and trying to make a career, an entertainment career. in an industry that can be fickle at the best of times, the la hustle is what many actors are used to doing, which is why fighting for better residuals, or repeat fees, was a key issue for their union. the end of the strike means the entire entertainment industry will now get back to work. sound engineers, camera operators, make—up artists and the companies that provide props — they have all suffered. for some the past year was worse than during the pandemic. it's going to be one of those years that we look back on and say, oh, well, it used to be 2020,

now it's going to be 2023 is the year that people are going to talk about as a really dark time. as actors return to sets, they will also be allowed to appear again on chat shows, promoting the movies they made before the walk—out, like barbie and oppenheimer, blockbusters that could dominate hollywood's upcoming awards season. but the biggest prize of all goes to the industry itself, now back in business. lights, cameras, and action. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. the time is 7:15am. time to find out what is happening with the weather. good morning. what a lovely scene. it is indeed. good morning. this morning once again our forecast is one of sunshine and showers. some of these showers will be heavy and thundery with some hail. wintry on the tops of the scottish hills. you

who have to go. without conservative party members having any say whatsoever. so i began this process of looking into, how is this happening? and what i discovered was disturbing to say the least. somebody described to me yesterday as there being a bomb on every page. i think there is because this is which people just don't know. why does it matter? you might think it is the conservative party. the conservative party spends more years in power than any other party. and it matters because what it highlights is a complete deficit of democracy. and it also shows that actually nothing happens by accident. in either government or at the top of my party. everything is decided by a quite small group of men, who decide who will be an mp, who will be a minister, when that minister's career will crash by pulling various levers, who will be

prime minister and how long they will remain prime minister. and of course conservative party voters and people who go to the ballot box think their vote matters. it doesn't matter at all because they stuff is all pre—decided. did matter at all because they stuff is all pre-decided._ all pre-decided. did you have any idea that there _ all pre-decided. did you have any idea that there was _ all pre-decided. did you have any idea that there was this _ all pre-decided. did you have any idea that there was this group - all pre-decided. did you have any idea that there was this group of| idea that there was this group of men, this small group of men, you say, who were in your words, kind of controlling who stays, who remains, whilst you are an mp and whilst he became an mp?— became an mp? there is a story in the book about _ became an mp? there is a story in the book about how _ became an mp? there is a story in the book about how i _ became an mp? there is a story in the book about how i put - became an mp? there is a story in the book about howl put an - became an mp? there is a story in| the book about howl put an advice the book about how i put an advice note into the prime minister's red box for him to sign off overnight and howl box for him to sign off overnight and how i received a telephone call, very early the following morning, from someone whose identity i had to protect within number 10, to say to me, you need to know that your advice note, from a secretary of state to the prime minister in his red box, has been altered overnight. that would have been done by one person. isuppose that would have been done by one person. i suppose i am asking, did

you say... did you know this was behind the conservative party? that set alarm bells _ behind the conservative party? that set alarm bells for— behind the conservative party? trust set alarm bells for me. i am elected. i am appointed by the elected. i am appointed by the elected prime minister. who is it who has interfered with my advice note in the pmi's red box? what are discovered by investigating that was that this process has been going on right back to the time of iain duncan smith. these men have been involved in the party since the late 19905. and at every stage, whether it is theresa may, david cameron, iain duncan smith, whether it is, liz truss, she is the only person who didn't have any of them close to her, because she knew about them. there are this group. they always have two or three at the heart of number 10. have two or three at the heart of number 10-_ have two or three at the heart of number10. ~ ., . j ., ., �* number 10. who are they? you don't name all of — number 10. who are they? you don't name all of them. _ number 10. who are they? you don't name all of them. i _ number 10. who are they? you don't name all of them. i can't _ number 10. who are they? you don't name all of them. i can't name - number 10. who are they? you don't name all of them. i can't name all. name all of them. i can't name all of them because _ name all of them. i can't name all of them because they _ name all of them. i can't name all of them because they libel- name all of them. i can't name all of them because they libel laws i name all of them. i can't name all- of them because they libel laws mean i had to circumnavigate them by, in some cases, it would have meant the book was delayed. i could have named them but it would have meant the book wouldn't of been out for another six months.— book wouldn't of been out for another six months. isn't it more important _ another six months. isn't it more important to _

i'm luxmy gopal. businesses in the west end are calling for the return of vat—free shopping this christmas, after the government ended it in 2021. london businesses are at a 20% price disadvantage compared to their european neighbours according to the new west end company. but the treasury says it lets foreign tourists claim back the tax as they return home, which doesn't benefit the british public. an historic london church is among ten sites across the city to be added to heritage england's at—risk register. the church of st george in the east, in stepney, and the upminster tithe barn in havering are among those considered at risk. the public body said the sites face decay and neglect. but 41 sites across london have been removed from the register thanks to various interventions. after three years of work and £250 million, an upgraded gatwick railway station will open to passengers on november 21st. it will make manyjourneys five minutes quicker. with 20 million passengers a year, it's our region's busiest station outside london.

a new concourse above the platforms has been built while both the railway and the airport stayed open. it's been a huge challenge to build a new airport concourse above an operational railway that's as busy as this — a railway that operates 24/7 and an airport that works 2li/7. one of the oldest women in london is celebrating her birthday this week. ellen haylorfrom barnes, turns 105 years old. she worked on the homefront during the second world war and helped with the rationing of food. we had to go into an air raid shelter, which the government supplied. landmines came down on a parachute. we had one land at the top of our road. let's take a look at your travel news now. there are minor delays on the bakerloo line. good service on all other lines.

now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there are a few showers around this morning. quite a breezy day as well, but we will see some sunny spells developing. the showers being blown through on that south westerly. and when the cloud breaks up, we'll see the sunny spells, but really anywhere could see a shower through the day. temperatures getting up to around 11 celsius. now overnight tonight, still a few showers blowing through, some clearer spells, at least to start with. but then we'll see more cloud and more rain moving in from the west as we head through to dawn on friday morning. the minimum temperature dropping down to around five or six celsius. for tomorrow. we'll get the rain in the morning, but it will gradually start to clear away. it is looking largely dry as we head into the afternoon. some sunshine to end the working week and temperatures tomorrow around ten celsius. so feeling quite cool, despite the sunshine. the wind starts to veer from the northwest. now it is looking largely dry

as we head into saturday. but then sunday we've got some outbreaks of rain. they could be quite heavy as we head into the afternoon. i'm back with your news travel and weather updates in half an hour. now it's back to naga and charlie hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the israeli military says hamas — designated a terrorist organisation by the uk — has now lost control of northern gaza, after intense fighting. our international editor jeremy bowen, has been with the israeli defence forces, inside the territory. while the bbc retained editorial control of the report, the sections featuring the israeli military have been cleared by the idf.

like young soldiers in many wars, israeli troops looked excited, not apprehensive, as they made their final preparations to join israel's invasion of the gaza strip. they're moving in as the war approaches a critical point. their colleagues already inside the strip have surrounded gaza city. these men might be part of the next stage, locating hamas tunnels and fighting street by street. israel's prime minister promised his country a mighty vengeance against hamas. but with so much firepower, one question — is israel following joe biden's advice not to be blinded by rage, to defend itself, but also protect the lives of palestinian civilians? we went into gaza with the israeli army on condition we didn't reveal their positions. video shot after they took us through the gap in the fence into gaza — though not this script — had to be submitted to their military censors. we got out of the back of an armoured vehicle and walked into a wasteland. after a month of air strikes and more than a week

of tanks and troops, every building i saw was damaged or destroyed. they wanted to show us what they said was a hamas weapons factory, in this wrecked structure. this is their scuba diving equipment that's meant to come from sea, from their land to our land. and they made drones that drop bombs, he said, in this workshop. places like this, he said, originated the 7th of october attacks. but upstairs was a family apartment. the soldiers said it was more proof that hamas used civilians as human shields, building bombs underneath a bedroom used by children. the officer said hamas — not israel — was responsible for civilian deaths. we know, intelligence. we know what we hit. we know the targets, they're approved by our command. it's not that i wake up and my objective is to ruin the city. i aim for enemy and enemy only, and i use all in my power

to hit the enemy only. sojudging by the destruction here, the enemy was everywhere, you'd say? yes. israel's strategic equation measures the destruction and death it's brought to palestinians in gaza — civilians as well as hamas — against the pain of its own people and the importance of making them feel safe again. the overriding impressions i have from being here is, first of all, the level of force that israel has brought to bear on the gaza strip — a vast amount of military power. in addition, the level of destruction, massive destruction, thousands of homes gone. israel says a military necessity, self—defense. this woman's view was different. she said it was because of israel's bombardment, because nowhere was

safe, because there was no food or drinking waterfor the children and because israel had bombed the bakeries. israel said 50,000 palestinians moved south after it promised safe passage. hamas released more videos of its fight against israel in gaza's streets. it claims victories but it is vastly outgunned. hamas cannot win a toe to toe fight with israel but guerilla tactics, hit and run, might drag the war out for months, and force a ceasefire. more israeli tanks were moving forward as we left the gaza strip this evening. israel's western allies support the invasion. but america's reminders about the laws of war and the pressure for humanitarian pauses suggest even israel's closest allies are queasy about this war�*s human catastrophe. jeremy bowen, bbc news, gaza.

for bayern munich, as they beat galatasaray, 2—1 and made it through to the knock—out stage. he now has 22 goals, to his name, from 18 matches, in all competitions. england manager gareth southgate will have been pleased to see his captain in fine form, ahead of the final round of european championship qualifiers coming up injust over a week's time. arsenal had a far more sedate evening they need just one win from their last two group games to qualify for the knock out stages, after they easily beat sevilla 2—0 at the emirates stadium. bukayo saka was the star, setting up leondro trossard before scoring superb second himself. arsenal are now four points clear at the top of theirgroup. i think it was more of the really good things that we did in newcastle and we responded with a team performance and did well against a team who are difficult to play against and today, tactically when there was something else, we played a different game and in fermented

what we wanted, really, really well, so i'm really happy with the last two performances. tonight, liverpool can reach the knock—out stages of the europa league with a win in toulouse — and luis diaz has travelled with the squad. managerjurgen klopp says it's up to diaz whether he plays, as he waits for news on his father, who's still be held by kidnappers in colombia. no real news, always positive signs, somehow, _ no real news, always positive signs, somehow, but— no real news, always positive signs, somehow, but not _ no real news, always positive signs, somehow, but not real— no real news, always positive signs, somehow, but not real news. - no real news, always positive signs, somehow, but not real news. and, i somehow, but not real news. and, yes. _ somehow, but not real news. and, yes, he _ somehow, but not real news. and, yes. he decided _ somehow, but not real news. and, yes, he decided last _ somehow, but not real news. and, yes, he decided last week- somehow, but not real news. and, yes, he decided last week becausej somehow, but not real news. and, i yes, he decided last week because he cannot— yes, he decided last week because he cannot go— yes, he decided last week because he cannot go to — yes, he decided last week because he cannot go to colombia _ yes, he decided last week because he cannot go to colombia and _ yes, he decided last week because he cannot go to colombia and that - yes, he decided last week because he cannot go to colombia and that wouldj cannot go to colombia and that would not be _ cannot go to colombia and that would not be the _ cannot go to colombia and that would not be the case — cannot go to colombia and that would not be the case at _ cannot go to colombia and that would not be the case at the _ cannot go to colombia and that would not be the case at the moment, - cannot go to colombia and that would not be the case at the moment, so. cannot go to colombia and that would| not be the case at the moment, so he is here _ not be the case at the moment, so he is here and _ not be the case at the moment, so he is here and when— not be the case at the moment, so he is here and when he _ not be the case at the moment, so he is here and when he is— not be the case at the moment, so he is here and when he is here _ not be the case at the moment, so he is here and when he is here and - not be the case at the moment, so he is here and when he is here and he i is here and when he is here and he is here and when he is here and he is at— is here and when he is here and he is at training, — is here and when he is here and he is at training, it— is here and when he is here and he is at training, it is _ is here and when he is here and he is at training, it is a _ is here and when he is here and he is at training, it is a safe _ is here and when he is here and he is at training, it is a safe place - is at training, it is a safe place and _ is at training, it is a safe place and when _ is at training, it is a safe place and when he _ is at training, it is a safe place and when he is _ is at training, it is a safe place and when he is in _ is at training, it is a safe place and when he is in training - is at training, it is a safe place and when he is in training and| and when he is in training and around— and when he is in training and around the— and when he is in training and around the matches, - and when he is in training and around the matches, it's - and when he is in training and around the matches, it's a - and when he is in training and. around the matches, it's a safe place _ around the matches, it's a safe place with _ around the matches, it's a safe place with the _ around the matches, it's a safe place with the team _ around the matches, it's a safe place with the team and - around the matches, it's a safe - place with the team and everything is 0k— place with the team and everything is ok and _ place with the team and everything is ok and he — place with the team and everything is ok and he wants _ place with the team and everything is ok and he wants to— place with the team and everything is ok and he wants to be _ place with the team and everything is ok and he wants to be with - place with the team and everything is ok and he wants to be with us i place with the team and everything i is ok and he wants to be with us and he's travelled — is ok and he wants to be with us and he's travelled and _ is ok and he wants to be with us and he's travelled and he _ is ok and he wants to be with us and he's travelled and he is _ is ok and he wants to be with us and he's travelled and he is here - is ok and he wants to be with us and he's travelled and he is here and - he's travelled and he is here and available — nottingham panthers have pulled out of the challenge cup ice hockey

tournament, following the death of their player adam johnson last month. he was hit on the neck by a skate during a match by one of the opposing sheffield steelers team. the panthers haven't played since and they say they'll give an update on their scheduled league fixtures, in the coming days. a century from ben stokes gave england just their second win at the cricket world cup in india and lifted them off the bottom of the table. they beat the netherlands by 160 runs. stokes hit six sixes on his way to 108, the first time he's made a century at a world cup. and though the defence of their title is over, importantly the victory takes them up to seventh and if they can stay there they would at least qualify for the next champions trophy competition. australia captain meg lanning has announced her retirement from international cricket this morning. lanning, who missed this summer's ashes for medical reasons, is australia women's greatest run scorer. the 31—year—old played for her country 241 times, winning seven world cups. she plans to continue

not to ban an event planned on armistice day this weekend. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. morning. we have the home secretary talking about the metropolitan police. what has she said? good morninu. police. what has she said? good morning- the — police. what has she said? good morning. the core _ police. what has she said? good morning. the core of _ police. what has she said? good morning. the core of suella - morning. the core of suella braverman's argument in this article she has written is about double standards. she says the police treat different kinds of protesters differently. and here is the key passage. he talks about how and nationalist protesters, who engage in aggression, are rightly, she says, met with a stern response, but pro—palestinian mobs, note the word of mobs, who behave in a similar way are not treating the same. that is the core of her argument. she is accusing the metropolitan police, notjust accusing the metropolitan police, not just on accusing the metropolitan police, notjust on this issue, but on all sort of other protests they have

policed, or treating left—wing, liberal protesters gently, and treating right—wing, or right—wing nationalist protest much more harshly. nationalist protest much more harshl . . ., . nationalist protest much more harshl. . ., . , , harshly. ok. so we have got a sense ofthe harshly. ok. so we have got a sense of the kind — harshly. ok. so we have got a sense of the kind of— harshly. ok. so we have got a sense of the kind of language _ harshly. ok. so we have got a sense of the kind of language being - harshly. ok. so we have got a sense of the kind of language being used. | of the kind of language being used. what about the reaction? there of the kind of language being used. what about the reaction?— what about the reaction? there is intense dissatisfaction _ what about the reaction? there is intense dissatisfaction in - what about the reaction? there is intense dissatisfaction in the - intense dissatisfaction in the conservative party with suella braverman this morning. as i was sitting down to talk to you just now, i am getting all sorts of whatsapps. one tory mp messaged me to say that they are now getting into a position where suella braverman's comments reflect, not just on her, but on the prime ministerfor keeping her in place. it is worth noting most conservative mps, including the one i was speaking to, probably broadly agree with her a lot of the substance that she is arguing, but it is a lot of the substance that she is arguing, but it is her rhetoric. they tell us greg has been the case before. they feel very uneasy having to defend, or having to come in some cases, distance themselves from. a

relationship with number 10 this morning is very interesting. we have asked downing street a few times whether they signed off this article and they can't say so. whether they signed off this article and they can't say 50. one very senior person said to me, that position isjust not senior person said to me, that position is just not sustainable. thank you very much for the moment. of course, we are talking about the protest here in london specifically. but there is a reason, which is the events in the middle east. naga, i know there have been a number of development. south certainly have. the israeli military says hamas, designated a terrorist organisation by the uk, has lost control of northern gaza. palestinians fled yesterday. israel open a safe passage on the road to the south. a senior un official has accused both sides of committing war crimes. let's talk to mark lohan, in israel. good morning. we saw that

window opening yesterday for people to move. is there more of the same today? to move. is there more of the same toda ? . . �* , to move. is there more of the same toda ? . , �* , , to move. is there more of the same toda? , today? hasn't yet been officially confirmed by — today? hasn't yet been officially confirmed by the _ today? hasn't yet been officially confirmed by the israeli - today? hasn't yet been officially confirmed by the israeli defence force. we expect the winner will be open today. because of the sheer numbers the israelis say took the road from north to south, fleeing the most intense of the military offensive. yesterday they say 50,000 civilians fled south. actually, they had to extend the window of opening the road by another error, given the number. we will open today. no confirmation as yet. as for the fate of the hostages, remember this all began more than a month ago when hamas took more than 240 people hostage and killed 1400 here in israel, we understand from our bbc team inside gaza, we have been told from a source involved in talks being mediated by qatar, in

coordination with the us, that talks are ongoing to try to free 12 hostages, half of them american. now, in exchange for that they would be a three day humanitarian pause in the fighting for more progress on hostage negotiations and on delivery of aid. those talks are ongoing. the last line to bring you at the moment is the diplomacy, which continues apace. the us secretary of state is in seoul today. yesterday he gave his reaction to comments from the israelis about possible israeli security responsibility for gaza in the long term. antony blinken, the us secretary of state, said there must be no reoccupation of gaza by israel when this conflict is over. it should be free of violence, it should be free of hamas as well. and it should become part of a future palestinian state. so, still a lot of talk behind closed doors and among diplomats, particularly with the americans, over the shape of future control of gaza. at this

stage it is very early in the process to be doing that, and still no real consensus on who could take control and who could rebuild gaza if, and when, hamas is eliminated. thank you for taking us through that. guidance has been issued to technology companies are setting out how they should combat international grooming and deal with images of child sexual abuse. the media regulator 0fcom has set out the first of its measures, to help firms comply with the government's online safety act. changing default settings so children don't appear in recommended friends lists, is among the plans. an independent inquiry into the uk's deadliest migrant boat incident has been ordered by the government. at least 27 people, including a pregnant woman and three children, died when a boat sank in 2021. a report into the incident concluded that staffing levels were insufficient to oversee the search and rescue operations.

the nhs is launching a five—year study to see how blood tests might help diagnose people with early—stage alzheimer's disease. experts say spotting the condition sooner, could allow people to have new treatments to slow the disease. currently, there is no single test for alzheimer's, and patients can wait years for a diagnosis. there has been a breakthrough in the long run between rail workers and train operators that could end 18 months of industrial action. ben can come —— bank and explain more. good morning. industrial disputes have cause much disruption on the roadways. trains not always running like this one. it looks likely the two sides could be moving towards a deal as train bosses have made a new offer to members of the rmt union. the dispute has been going on for 18 months, sincejune last year. workers have been calling for a betterjob workers have been calling for a better job security, workers have been calling for a betterjob security, more pay, and working conditions. following

negotiations between the rmt union and the rail delivery group representing train operators, a deal has taken shape. the bbc understands the offer involves a backdated pay rise for 2022 of 5% or £1750. as well as job security guarantees, such as no compulsory redundancies until the end of 2024. warranty members will vote in the deal on an online referendum which will close online referendum which will close on the 30th of november. significantly this is the first deal they have voted on since the start of the dispute. i should make it clear that a separate dispute with train drivers in the aslef union remains ongoing. so, walk—outs over christmas and new year could still be possible. thank you. a deal has been reached to end a strike by actors in hollywood which has halted most film and television production for nearly

four months. the union says the issue —— the agreement resolves disputes about streaming revenue and the use of artificial intelligence. the industrial reaction has delayed the release of numerous big blockbuster films, the release of numerous big blockbusterfilms, including two avengers titles. time to talk to carol and find out what is happening with the weather. i least see a lovely rainbow but there is still a lot of rain for now at least. . �* . there is still a lot of rain for now at least. . �* , . . , at least. that's right, naga. this morninu at least. that's right, naga. this morning is _ at least. that's right, naga. this morning is a _ at least. that's right, naga. this morning is a mixture _ at least. that's right, naga. this morning is a mixture of - at least. that's right, naga. this| morning is a mixture of sunshine at least. that's right, naga. this - morning is a mixture of sunshine and showers. the same for tomorrow. the distribution of the showers will be different tomorrow compared to today. simply because the wind direction is changing. you can see on the satellite picture all the speckled cloud. these are all showers heading towards us. in the atlantic there are another two areas of cloud. those are both areas of low pressure. one of them will come our way. what we have this morning are showers, particularly in the west and also the south. windy

criminal action. what the police are focused on doing is making sure that the march on saturday takes place in a peaceful way and in no way disrupt any of the events that are taking place for armistice day on saturday. that is what we are all focused on doing. do that is what we are all focused on doinu. ,, . that is what we are all focused on doinu. . doing. do you agree with your colleague. — doing. do you agree with your colleague, the _ doing. do you agree with your colleague, the home - doing. do you agree with your i colleague, the home secretary's language when she talks about pro—palestinian mobs? i language when she talks about pro-palestinian mobs?- language when she talks about pro-palestinian mobs? i have been in meetinas pro-palestinian mobs? i have been in meetings this — pro-palestinian mobs? i have been in meetings this week _ pro-palestinian mobs? i have been in meetings this week with _ pro-palestinian mobs? i have been in meetings this week with the - pro-palestinian mobs? i have been in meetings this week with the home i meetings this week with the home secretary and police leaders from the met and forces across the country, including the british transport police, who i work closely with, we are all focused on making sure that the police have the legal powers that they need, which they do, and we are focused on making sure the protest on saturday goes ahead in a way that doesn't cause injury to the public and takes place

as. so, iwill ask favourites when it comes to protest as. so, i will ask you this question. does your government have full confidence in sir mark rowley? look, the prime minister had the commissioner of the metropolitan police in yesterday. and asked him for assurances that the met had done everything it could, using all of the legal powers the government has given it. we strengthen the public order act earlier this year and asked for assurances that the met were going to protect the important symbols of the remembrance events at the weekend and they had all the legal powers and things they had in place to keep people safe and make sure that protest march is conducted in a lawful and orderly way. the prime minister received those assurances from the metropolitan police commissioner yesterday and said so. police commissioner yesterday and said 50. that is why the march is going ahead on saturday. if said 50. that is why the march is going ahead on saturday. iii said so. that is why the march is going ahead on saturday. if i may, mark harper. _ going ahead on saturday. if i may, mark harper, after— going ahead on saturday. if i may, mark harper, after that _ going ahead on saturday. if i may, mark harper, after that meeting i going ahead on saturday. if i may, i mark harper, after that meeting took place, the home secretary said the words that there is a perception

disruption on the railways running up disruption on the railways running up to the important christmas period. that will be good news for everybody. i hope that deal is carried at the end of the month. and also, those rmt members can get a pay rise before christmas. mark harper, thank you for your time. . .. mark harper, thank you for your time. . ~' ,, the uk boss of mcdonald's will face questions from a group of mps over allegations of sexual harassment, racism and bullying in its restaurants. injuly, a bbc investigation heard from more than 100 people who share their expenses of marking the fast—food chain. now a number of former employees are taking legal action against the company. alice tim macrow said he is determined to root out any behaviour that fell short of the high standards like at the company. zoe conway has more. ed is studying for his a—levels. he started a newjob at mcdonald's at the beginning of the year. very soon, one of the senior managers at the store repeatedly pestered him for sex.

ed was 16. this happened in front of others. he would say it was just banter. but then, behind closed doors, in the fridge or the coolroom, or the stockroom, when no—one else was there, he would very much give the impression that he was being absolutely serious. it's gross and disgusting and horrifying that someone with that much power in the workplace could say something like that to a 16—year—old, such as myself. the harassment went on for several months until ed quit in april. i was really upset. it did take a toll on my mental health. i did have some shifts where i would get upset about going into work and would cry a lot before going into my shifts. yeah.

injuly, a bbc investigation revealed that more 100 current and recent employees alleged a toxic culture of harassment and bullying at the company. several workers told the bbc there were too scared to complain to managers, because they didn't think they would be believed. you went to a senior manager and asked for help. what happened ? i tried to explain to a senior manager that someone who was much older than me was sexually harassing me and making sexual comments to me. i was informed by the person i tried to report it to that if they heard any more about it i would face severe consequences, including not being eligible for promotion. ed is one of a number of ex—mcdonald's workers taking the company to court. it could be the first #metoo group actions in the uk. following the bbc investigation we were contacted by a number of people.

on examination there were things coming through about how mcdonald's practices and systems were happening. and in particular in relation to how vulnerable the youngest workers at mcdonald's are. and we felt that they should — mcdonald's should be held accountable by this young group of people. after the bbc investigation into mcdonald's was broadcast injuly, another 160 people contacted us with allegations of bullying and harassment, and 200 people contacted the equality watchdog, the hrc, with their complaints. several current employees have told us that the workplace culture of mcdonald's has not changed much sincejuly. steve reid contacted the bbc injuly about what he said was a sexist and bullying culture at the store his daughters worked out. liv decided to quit at the beginning of summer.

she says one of the senior managers was openly racist about a new employee. there was a member of staff, fairly new to the store, about two or three weeks in, and she was sikh, and pretty much there was a comment made about how it was her type of people that bomb us. hearing something like that disgusted me. you're supposed to be supporting people, but you are openly and freely saying things like that. you are still working there. has it changed since liv left? it's the same. the behaviour is still as she left, exactly the same. it hasn't changed. it's meant to be a friendly environment. and it isn't. the language that is there isjust unacceptable. it's heartbreaking.

| the worst thing is probably thatj nothing has been done about it. nothing has changed, you know, since july.| in a statement, alistair macrow, ceo of mcdonald's uk and ireland said: mcdonald's prides itself

on employing one of the youngest workforces in the country. its critics say it is failing in its duty to keep them safe. zoe conway, bbc news. delighted to say zoe joins us now. good morning. that initial investigation injuly, what has happened since? investigation in july, what has happened since?— investigation in july, what has ha ened since? . , . ., happened since? that investigation involved 100 _ happened since? that investigation involved 100 employees _ happened since? that investigation involved 100 employees and - happened since? that investigation | involved 100 employees and reason employees telling us their stories. in the days following another 160 people contacted us, some with very serious allegations. and we know that 200 people contacted of the equality commission. what we don't know is how many people have contacted the mcdonald's complaint unit, which they set up in the wake of our investigation. mcdonald's won't tell us. we don't know for example if any of the people that have complained to them, their complaints have been referred to the

police. wejust complaints have been referred to the police. we just don't know. it will be interesting to find out what happens next tuesday, which is when the chief executive is going to be called in by mps to see whether they ask him that question. just how many complaints is he getting? clearly mcdonald's want to be seen to be taking all of this incredibly seriously. taking all of this incredibly seriously-— taking all of this incredibly seriousl . , . , ., . seriously. tell us a bit more about that? people _ seriously. tell us a bit more about that? people sometimes - seriously. tell us a bit more about that? people sometimes get i seriously. tell us a bit more about i that? people sometimes get confused with select committees. tell us a bit more about that occasion and what is required of the people who are called to give evidence? weill. are called to give evidence? well, it is interesting _ are called to give evidence? well, it is interesting because _ are called to give evidence? well, it is interesting because the i are called to give evidence? d it is interesting because the chair of the business select committee, liam byrne, worked on mcdonald's as a teenager. that is quite interesting. what is going to happen is that this group of cross—party mps will be asking the chief executive about how he has been handling the complaints, what new measures he has put in place. he saysin measures he has put in place. he says in his statement that he is taking this all of —— all of this

incredibly seriously and he is going to root it out. i think what they will want to interrogate is how mcdonald's is structured. it's a franchise model. 90% of the restaurant are run by franchises. so the question becomes, how do you become —— how do you hold the franchisee to account? do the franchisees fear they could lose their contract if they don't uphold their contract if they don't uphold the law? at what we do know is that in the last five years none of those franchisees have lost a contract because they have failed to uphold the labour law. so. because they have failed to uphold the labour law.— because they have failed to uphold the labour law. so, has mcdonald's been able to _ the labour law. so, has mcdonald's been able to show— the labour law. so, has mcdonald's been able to show it _ the labour law. so, has mcdonald's been able to show it has _ the labour law. so, has mcdonald's been able to show it has been i been able to show it has been improving sincejuly, that it has done things to improve the franchisee, the franchises, the behaviour amongst staff and the treatment amongst staff? it interesting because i have been talking to people still working at mcdonald's and some say that managers have been fired in the wake of the investigation. we have also

heard that managers at the franchise level have been going into stores and talking to people. certainly, mcdonald's say there has been disciplinary hearings. i think the question is, if you phone a complaints unit, what happens to your complaint? if it gets referred to the franchise, which is what i have been hearing, and it gets referred to the business manager, the person in charge of you, isn't it quite clear to the business manager who has been doing the complaining? how anonymous is all of this? that is what i have been hearing. i think there is a bit of a question still about how that is being handled. buti question still about how that is being handled. but i think the really big question is, how are you going to make sure that the franchises uphold the law and make those employees feel safe? let's remember, we are talking about 16, 17—year—olds. one of the things i have been asked is, why mcdonald's?

why are you investigating mcdonald's? doesn't this happen in lots of places? my answer is, if you ask a parent why they are happy with their child working in mcdonald's, they would say because they trust they would say because they trust the brand in a way they don't local takeaway. the brand in a way they don't local takeawa . , . the brand in a way they don't local takeawa . , , , ._ takeaway. very interesting. tuesday is the da . takeaway. very interesting. tuesday is the day- we _ takeaway. very interesting. tuesday is the day. we will— takeaway. very interesting. tuesday is the day. we will do _ takeaway. very interesting. tuesday is the day. we will do more - takeaway. very interesting. tuesday is the day. we will do more than. i is the day. we will do more than. thank you. it is half past eight. when we come off air on bbc one at about quarter past nine, morning live takes over. and nicky and gethin are going to be guiding you through that. good morning. good morning. coming up good morning. good morning. coming up today, it is known as a silent killer and can go undetected for years. new research has found most adults in the uk with high cholesterol aren't getting treatment stop dr ranj explains why it is crucial to get levels checked. yes. if left undiagnosed _ crucial to get levels checked. yes. if left undiagnosed it _ if left undiagnosed it could dramatically— if left undiagnosed it could dramatically increase - if left undiagnosed it could dramatically increase your| if left undiagnosed it could i dramatically increase your risk if left undiagnosed it could - dramatically increase your risk of having _ dramatically increase your risk of having a — dramatically increase your risk of having a heart— dramatically increase your risk of having a heart attack— dramatically increase your risk of having a heart attack or - dramatically increase your risk of having a heart attack or a - dramatically increase your risk of| having a heart attack or a stroke. dramatically increase your risk of. having a heart attack or a stroke. i will tell— having a heart attack or a stroke. i will tell you — having a heart attack or a stroke. i will tell you how _ having a heart attack or a stroke. i will tell you how symptoms - having a heart attack or a stroke. i will tell you how symptoms like i will tell you how symptoms like swollen — will tell you how symptoms like swollen knuckles _ will tell you how symptoms like swollen knuckles and _ will tell you how symptoms like swollen knuckles and a - will tell you how symptoms like i swollen knuckles and a whitening around _ swollen knuckles and a whitening around your— swollen knuckles and a whitening around your iris _ swollen knuckles and a whitening around your iris could _ swollen knuckles and a whitening around your iris could mean- swollen knuckles and a whitening around your iris could mean you i swollen knuckles and a whitening i around your iris could mean you are at risk _

off and how copenhagen capitalised. mohamed elyounoussi pulled one back, and after a handball by harry maguire, it was a penalty. and somehow it was 2—2 at the break. scores! but the drama had barely begun. this time, a copenhagen handball and bruno fernandes fired united back ahead. but their ten men couldn't cling on as two late copenhagen goals gave the hosts a li—3 win. a champions league classic. but for united, that won't be much consolation. arsenal, meanwhile, remain top of their group after they beat sevilla 2—0. goals from leandro trossard and after the break from bukayo saka. for them, at least, a straightforward night. andy swiss, bbc news. after the game the manchester united manager— after the game the manchester united manager bemoaned his side's luck and some _ manager bemoaned his side's luck and some of— manager bemoaned his side's luck and some of the _ manager bemoaned his side's luck and some of the decisions. we manager bemoaned his side's luck and some of the decisions.— some of the decisions. we are winnina some of the decisions. we are winning the —

and that was happening every day? he recorded in his log book how he was shot down twice in eight days was shot down twice in eight days was not the first time he was rescued from the sea. john had bailed out after his hurricane aircraft was hit. what do you think that would have been like for you, being in the middle of the sea, not knowing if

you are going to be rescued? john spent most of the war in 85 squadron. do you have any thoughts, looking at that picture now? that you you are pointing to. he has particularly strong memories of his friend dickie lee who was killed in action.

you are the last known surviving fighter pilot from the battle of britain, the group of people who sir winston churchill famously described as the few. what does it mean to you? irish luck?

do you know what, we are lucky to be able to hear from somebody like group capt able to hear from somebody like group cathohn hemingway, speaking to our ireland correspondent, chris page. and i love the fact that when he looked at the photo, the first thing he picked out was him having his hands in his pockets. that kind of sentiment of the improper, and wearing your uniform with pride and doing what you have done with pride. an amazing interview. 104 years old. group captainjohn hemingway group captain john hemingway speaking group captainjohn hemingway speaking to chris page for us this morning. speaking to chris page for us this morninu. �* , , . speaking to chris page for us this morninu. �*, , . ., ., . morning. there's been a lot of rain around of late. _ morning. there's been a lot of rain around of late. carol, _ morning. there's been a lot of rain around of late. carol, i— morning. there's been a lot of rain around of late. carol, i don't - morning. there's been a lot of rain around of late. carol, i don't think| around of late. carol, i don't think it is quite over yet. i know you are going to kind of hint towards less rain next week, but this week? we are stuck in sunshine and showers for today— are stuck in sunshine and showers for today and tomorrow but the distribution of showers will vary. saturday — distribution of showers will vary. saturday looking dry for most of us but the _ saturday looking dry for most of us but the showers today largely across the west _ but the showers today largely across the west and south where they could

a long time ago... well, yesterday... in a store room far, far away... actuallyjust outside the m25... a movie memorabilia auction was being prepared. amongst the items, many belonging to anthony daniels, who played c—3po in starwars. 0h! master tim, thank you so much for coming. he really is in first class condition. i've worked with him before. here he comes. anxious, awkward, yet polite and loyal. c—3po appeared in all nine films of the star wars saga. why i should stick my neck out for you is quite beyond my capacity. of course, the key. item is his beautiful, beautiful face. even better, even better if i do that. what was it like to wear? awful. on the inside, absolutely awful.

first of all, it's kind of up there to my nose and then no, no peripheral vision at all. so absolutely tunnel vision. did you hear that? they shut down the main reactor. they'll be destroyed for sure. you originally didn't want this part, did you? no, ididn't. i didn't. i'd been acting a couple of years, and i think i thought i was rather serious actor. boy, did that change. george lucas wanted somebody who was to have a certain amount of ability with mimes. and then he showed me ralph mcouarrie's concept painting. i looked at that original face that was kind of looking out. so lost, so forlorn, so adrift, really. and i wanted to help him. c3po's head is expected to fetch between £500,000 and £1 million. not bad given that many assumed star wars would be a flop. carrie, mark, harrison, myself, sir alec guinness,

we all agreed it was rubbish that nobody would ever go and see this stuff. only george lucas believed. and one of my, of course, favourite things is the original script. which, do you notice, it says "the star wars" because that's what it was. one of my favorite scenes is right at the beginning where r2 and 3po are kind of lost in the desert. they couldn't get r2 to go up a slope in the sand. it was on a piano wire being pulled and he says "we seem to be made to suffer." it's our lot in life. i've got to rest before i fall apart. myjoints are almost frozen. hearing that voice, anthony, it's amazing to hear you saying that. seeing the words in the script, i think are lovely. the script is expected to fetch between 10 and £20,000. star wars aside, for movie buffs with money to spare, this auction is a big deal.

this is harrison ford's whip. indiana jones's whip, used in indiana jones and the temple of doom. this has an auction estimate of £100 to £200,000. so this is freddy kruger's razor—blade—fingered from a nightmare on elm street. we've really seen a surge of interest in horror collectors over the last few years. it has an auction estimate of £200 to £400,000. i think it could soar well past that. will you be sad to see him go? he's very much here. i love the line, "we are doomed", because, you know, it is his take on life. but then in the last film, we had this wonderful line where poe dameron says, you know, "what are you doing 3po?" and he goes, "taking one last look, sir, at my friends."
