an eyewitness from the hospital has told the bbc that they saw tanks and soldiers enter the building. the bbc has not yet been able to verify those claims. but we have just received this report from our gaza correspondent which we can play for you now. the bbc was told by two i inside that israeli soldiers are storming five buildings of the hospital. one of the witnesses told the bbc that they sought six tanks and about 100 israeli commandos entering the main department, the emergency room. and if they were shouting in arabic, don't move. our middle east correspondent yolande knell is injerusalem. i know this is a situation that has been developing in recent hours. can you tell us what we know so far? for

da 5, you tell us what we know so far? for da s, of you tell us what we know so far? er?" days, of course, we have been really focused on gaza's al shifa hospital. it has been the focus of a big stand—off in the war with a lot of fighting happening, with israeli ground forces and hamas ground forces nearby. in the dead of the night we heard of that israeli forces had entered into the compound. there were those reports from different eyewitnesses speaking to the media a short time ago. a short time ago there was a spokesman from the hamas health ministry who said it forces had gone into the basement of the hospital. that is where the israelis say they have evidence that hamas uses an underground tunnel network as a command and control centre. and then we have for the first time yesterday the us coming out and saying that it had from its intelligence sources evidence that corroborated those claims. all we also heard from the white house during the course of the

day that hospitals and patients must be protected, kind of a warning going to the israeli forces as they obviously were planning some kind of a ride. hamas denies consistently it is misusing the hospital. and it has accused washington of giving a green light to this rate. caught up in all of this, estimates vary slightly, but you have more than 2000 people, some cite as many as 4000, including medics, patients in the hospital, and some of the people who have been sheltering there that originally, when they were thinking this was a safe place after the neighbourhoods they lived in or on the front line of israel's bombardment... some of the patients are extremely vulnerable. doctors have said it is not possible to move them. they include more than 30 premature babies who had to be taken from their incubators because of the lack of power. they have been very much

the focus of attention in the last few days. what could be done to evacuate this tiny number of children, the most vulnerable, still inside of the hospital, where conditions are said to be dire? yolande knell reporting live from jerusalem. we will keep you up—to—date with the latest developments as we get them confirmed. but nowjon confirmed. but now jon has confirmed. but nowjon has more of the news. some really big stories. the supreme court will today deliver its ruling on whether the government can go ahead with its plan to deport some asylum seekers to rwanda. the plan was first unveiled in april 2022 in an attempt to deter crossings on the english channel on small boats, but the scheme was ruled unlawful by the appeal court injune. our home editor mark easton has more. the new home secretary has barely got through the door of his office, but james cleverly faces the real threat that, within 48 hours of his arrival, the centrepiece of

his department's illegal migration policy will be in tatters. i had a very good conversation with the prime minister, who's made it very clear that he wants us to deliver on our promises to stop the boats. thank you. with the prime minister's demands still ringing in his ears, civil servants will have briefed him on his narrowing options should today's supreme court judgment be that sending asylum seekers to rwanda is unlawful. the government believes that by swiftly relocating cross—channel arrivals to east africa, the business model of the people smuggling gangs will be fatally damaged. 615 arrived on the kent coast on sunday alone. there is a serious and pressing need to take effective steps that will act as a deterrent. the government wants the supreme court justices to overturn the appeal court's conclusion that genuine refugees sent to rwanda might end up back in the country from which they fled, breaching their human rights

under the european convention. this lawyer represents asylum seekers who originally challenged the lawfulness of the rwanda policy. the supreme court will be considering whether rwanda is a safe third country and will be considering a wealth of evidence, including from the unhcr, about fundamental deficiencies in rwanda's asylum system. if the government wins, ministers are hopeful that flights will take off for rwanda before christmas. if they lose, its thought the home office will seek a new treaty with the rwandan government to take account of the concerns of the supreme courtjustices. but there are some in the conservative party who argue the real problem is the uk's commitment to the european convention on human rights. as foreign secretary, mr cleverly said he was not convinced the uk needed to leave the convention. as home secretary, will he still think the same later this morning? mark easton, bbc news.

let's speak now to our chief political correspondent henry zeffman, who is at downing street this morning. whatever the court decides today there are big implications for the government?— there are big implications for the government? there are big implications for the covernment? ~' ., ., , government? like london buses, big olitical government? like london buses, big political days — government? like london buses, big political days in _ government? like london buses, big political days in westminster - government? like london buses, big political days in westminster seem . political days in westminster seem to come in threes. on monday we had the reshuffle and the extraordinary resurrection of david cameron. yesterday, a full attack from suella braverman on the man she had called boss until the day before. and today the government's key immigration policy lies in the balance. we will find out from the supreme court this morning, a short walk away from here, whether planes can take off for rwanda potentially within weeks, or whether the government is going to have to go back to the drawing board. we know that conservative mps and many conservative voters are desperate to see a small boat stopped crossing the english channel. we also know that making

progress in that direction was one of the five vows that rishi sunak made at the start of this year, in which he asked the public to judge his leadership. so, it is no exaggeration to say that today is a huge day for the government. i guess we miaht huge day for the government. i guess we might get — huge day for the government. i guess we might get a _ huge day for the government. i guess we might get a fourth _ huge day for the government. i guess we might get a fourth bus _ huge day for the government. i guess we might get a fourth bus as - huge day for the government. i guess we might get a fourth bus as well- we might get a fourth bus as well when we hear from we might get a fourth bus as well when we hearfrom suella braverman. an extraordinary letter yesterday but she might have more to add? there is no word you can use to describe this letter which wouldn't be an exaggeration. excoriating, angry, explosive, really. we knew that suella braverman would make a big intervention after her sacking. and it's worth noting, this is not a resignation letter. she didn't quit. she was sacked. she has written this in response. we knew she would respond. the way she has responded is amazing. she accused rishi sunak of being weak and indecisive. but ultimately, of lying to her. she said they signed a document, we haven't seen it, i don't know if she

will produce it, but she said they signed a document when she agreed to support it for the leadership last year, in which he agreed to make various commitments on which she now says he has a night. it is one to watch, to see how many conservative mps might, or might not, follow her in attacking the prime minister. henry, thank you. a big economic story as well. the latest uk inflation figures are due out later this morning, telling us how much prices are rising. ben is here to tell us what we should be looking out for. yes, good morning. what we are getting today is a measure of how much prices have gone up on average compared to a year ago, for the goods and services that we'll typically spend our money on. that is what we mean when we talk about inflation. in september it was at 6.7%. remember, it is on average. some things went up more sharply. others went up by less. some will have fallen. what we are expecting is that prices on average were still rising in october. but probably not

as quickly as they were in september. the rate of price rises has actually slowed down a lot since the end of last year, when it was over 11%. the end of last year, when it was over11%. back the end of last year, when it was over 11%. back then, the prime minister pledged to have inflation by the end of this year, to below 5.4%. economists think that might have happened. we will find out for certain when the inflation figure is released at seven o'clock this morning for october. a couple of reasons for inflation possibly falling. the first is a falling energy prices. the lower energy price cap came in last month. that means gas and electricity costs have now come down. food prices from one month to the next, a fall in those could have helped to bring down the overall average rising prices. despite some groceries following a month on month, food and drink prices are still generally higher than they were a year ago. and of

course, interest rates. the bank of england has raised the cost of borrowing since last year, with the maine rate now at 5.52%. —— 5.25%. if borrowing is more expensive, it deters people from spending and a drop in demand tends to lead to price rises are slowing, or in some cases, prices even falling. as i say, we will find out the inflation figure for october in just under an hour. thank you. we will be back with you to get those numbers. the nhs has pledged to wipe out cervical cancer in england by 2040. around 850 women die from cervical cancer each year in the uk. but amanda pritchard, who is head of the nhs, says the combination hpv vaccines in schools and an increase in cervical screening means the disease is on track to be eliminated in the next 20 years. about 400 people have spent an anxious night away from home after being told to evacuate a bristol tower block.

major structural faults have been found in barton house, which mean it wouldn't be safe if there was a fire or explosion. the council says there's no immediate risk to health or life, and emergency services are on standby as a precaution. our reporter amanda parr was there last night. just the bare essentials, hastily packed cases and rucksacks, and around 400 people left their homes with no idea when or if they might return. we've never, ever had anything like this before. fires, yeah, but, erm... ..not having to move out. where i'm going? i have four kids. where i take it now at this time? the mosque is full. where i'm going? it is burning, because you don't see the people when they knock our door and everybody rushing out, and, "what's happened? what's happened?" start asking people, everybody pass it to the other one. and he didn't know, he didn't know — "we are waiting for the council. and somebody is going to..." it's not like that. so, shock, angerand in some cases complete despair. where are they going to stay? how we manage to get

them to school tomorrow? how am i going to go to work tomorrow? that's what things are. i don't have no friends. i don't have nowhere to stay. it's tough, to be honest. i'm panicking. i'm so panicked. it's so difficult to me. i'm so sorry. sorry you're going through it. i know. i'm so horrible, so horrible. the city council declared a major incident. they said surveys showed the building would not be safe in the event of a fire or explosion. there are significant structural faults. so we surveyed three flats out of the 98 within the building. it gives us a smattering — a smaller bit of evidence that led us to believe, actually there could be a wider problem. so we're now going to conduct a range of surveys over the next week. housing officers and welfare support workers have been on hand, but many have called for better communication after the shock announcement that left them reeling and out in the cold. amanda parr there. and our reporterjohn maguire

is there this morning. what a nightmare for the people who live in that block?— live in that block? yeah, i think as ou live in that block? yeah, i think as you gathered _ live in that block? yeah, i think as you gathered there _ live in that block? yeah, i think as you gathered there from _ live in that block? yeah, i think as you gathered there from that - live in that block? yeah, i think as i you gathered there from that report, clearly people shock, surprise, very upset. it is the uncertainty, of course, wondering whether all of a sudden their home is a dangerous place for them to be. that would have been their first reaction. there is barton house. 14 stories. built in 1958, 65 years old. bristol city council says it is the oldest property in their estate. it has unique characteristics within its architecture. it therefore says that other buildings may not be as affected as they think this one might be. you heard they had surveyed just a few of the flats. i was talking to a resident area was jointly cracks within their building which he felt were perhaps part of

the problem. it is that uncertainty, i think. residents were told yesterday afternoon to pack enough stuff for one or two nights away, to try to find somebody locally to stay with, family or friends, try to find somebody locally to stay with, family orfriends, or if not, there were provisions put aside by there were provisions put aside by the council to at least give someone a bed for the night. but it is the uncertainty that is the issue. they will be an urgency to make sure this building is properly surveyed to come up with a plan. the council saying at the moment it is a proportionate response to try to ensure people don't spend, didn't spend the night there, just to keep them out of any potential harm pass way. there will need to be further surveys before there is a definitive answer for those residents, surveys before there is a definitive answerfor those residents, 400 of them who normally call this place home. . ~ them who normally call this place home. ., ~ i. them who normally call this place home. . ~' ,, , them who normally call this place home. ., ~ i. , . them who normally call this place home. . ~ ,, , . ., home. thank you very much indeed for the update — friends stars courteney cox and matt le blanc have both paid their first individual tributes to co—star mathew perry following his death last month. cox, who played perry's on—screen wife monica,

said she was "so grateful for every moment" they worked together, while le blanc, who played his room—matejoey, said, "it was an honour to call you my friend." they have taken their time to make their statements. there was i thought they would all do something a little bit more coordinated and together. that meant coming to come. yeah, clearly choosing their words very carefully. doing it at the right time. 17 minutes past six. i am delighted to say that our friend carol is in the studio with a gorgeous picture behind you. is this what we can expect? behind you. is this what we can exect? ., is this what we can expect? some of us. this is this what we can expect? some of us- this picture _ is this what we can expect? some of us. this picture will _ is this what we can expect? some of us. this picture will change - is this what we can expect? some of us. this picture will change in - is this what we can expect? some of us. this picture will change in the i us. this picture will change in the nanosecond. for others as it is not going to be quite as pretty. good morning. this morning some of us are starting off with a view like this in terms of the blue skies. it is going to be bright and breezy today in the south. however, as we push further north, this is the picture

you can expect. more cloud. we have also got some rain. the rain has been with us through the course of the night, extending through northern ireland, south—west scotland and northern ireland. it weakens through the day. showers in eastern scotland are sinking further south. more sunshine will develop in the far north of scotland. as we push for south across england and also wales, we are looking at a mixture of sunny spells, bright spells and showers. the showers are becoming less frequent through the course of the afternoon. and although we start off on a blustery note, the wind will ease. temperatures eight to 40 degrees north to south. as we head on through the evening and overnight at the front still with us as a weak feature. showers in south—east scotland, north—east england. some clear skies. scotland, north—east england. some clearskies. mist scotland, north—east england. some clear skies. mist and fog patches forming where we have got the lighter winds in the north of the country. you can already see rain from the south—west. that will be

accompanied by strengthening winds, especially in the south—west. it will be a cold night in scotland. these temperatures you see represent what you can expect in towns and cities. in rural areas, what you can expect in towns and cities. in ruralareas, in what you can expect in towns and cities. in rural areas, in the highlands especially, we could get as low as —5. we are looking at not just some fog but also some frost as well. when you said it was changeable, you were right. let's take a look at today's papers. for the second day in a row, the aftermath of suella braverman�*s sacking as home secretary leads many of the front pages. the telegraph focuses on mrs braverman�*s "brutal attack" on her old boss rishi sunak. it pulls out a quote from mrs braverman�*s letter in which she says: "i must surely conclude now, you never had any intention of keeping your promises." the mirror goes with the headline, "tories are revolting" with the strapline, "maybe they could try running the country for a bit instead".

i think they are suggesting revolution type of revolting. "revenge served hot" is the �*i's' headline in reference to what they call suella braverman�*s "blistering attack" on the prime minister. the times' splash also features a picture of braverman and says a "rebellion looms" if the supreme court blocks the government's postponed scheme to send some asylum seekers to rwanda. we are waiting for that decision during the morning. i love this story. it is in some of the papers and on the bbc website. about a bird. a bird in new zealand. this is what we need today. it is a very new zealand bird. every year in new zealand bird. every year in new zealand they have a competition. people can vote for their favourite bird. what's your favourite people can vote for their favourite bird. what's yourfavourite bird competition. the comedian and tv presenter in america, john oliver, heard about this. decided he would

enter it. not as a bird. as a voter. anyone can vote. even if they are in america. so he began a campaign for the borage, this particular bird, and as a result they had ten times the votes of any other bird, and it won. the people in new zealand are crying foul. you have done it again. no, they're doing it again in the papers! they say it has been hijacked, manipulated. fair enough, it was within the rules. it might be like leaving out all the other birds who didn't have a chance to get their campaign supported. 21 minutes past six. a bbc investigation has found a booming black market in the sale of weight loss injection kits, despite warnings from health officials. these versions, commonly purchased online and via social media, contain an active ingredient used in some diabetes medications, which are illegal to sell without prescription. aoife walsh reports.

i was extremely ill. i was retching, and there was nothing left any more. all my stomach acids had been thrown up. blood, white foam — horrendous. maddie ended up in a&e after taking a knock—off weight loss drug she bought online. the diabetes drug ozempic, which has semaglutide as its active ingredient, made headlines last year for being hollywood's secret weight loss drug causing demand to spiral. i wanted to lose weight quickly, and my friend recommended this instagram account where she got these weight loss injections from. so that's where the lip king came in. right, guys, so this is your mixing video for your semaglutide. this is your actual supplements. this is what you're going to be mixing. i've never, ever had sickness quite like it in my life.

the nausea, even when the vomiting stopped after i'd been given the drip and the anti—sickness, it continued for another seven to eight days after. this — i mean, it's quite shocking, to be honest, that maddie has no idea what she's taking. even if it is semaglutide, we don't know what the dose of that is. as pharmacies across the uk struggled to keep these medicines on the shelves, an illicit black market selling knock—off versions of the drugs began to flourish. so, after speaking to maddie about her experience, i wanted to see for myselfjust how easy it is to find these weight loss medications online. it wasn't difficult. and we bought several samples to be tested in a lab. under uk law, you need a prescription to get this medicine. the sale of this drug, without going through a proper online pharmacy, would not be legal.

you have to be licensed with the mhra, and if you're not registered with them, then you're not complying with the the regulations. the licensed drugs are in ready mix pens, whereas the knock—off versions come as a powder in a vial that people have to measure out themselves. just draw up the liquids like that. and there's two mil in total. medics have warned of the potential risks of people accidentally taking too much, especially if they are following incorrect instructions, which is what happened to maddie. then here you can see i've got, "hey, babe. followed the chart dosage. week one, ten units, week two, 20..." you want to do 20 units your first week, your second week you want to do 30 units. so clearly there's a mix up, because the video is saying to start at 20 and the whatsapp here says to start at ten. but of course, it's completely the wrong advice. and these medications need to be prescribed by healthcare professionals.

unlicensed medicines aren't subject to the same strict quality controls as licensed drugs. our lab tests found the products we bought online were inconsistent. so in terms of the amount of semaglutide in each vial, what did you find? so we found that out of six vials, three of them - had less than expected, _ and one didn't have any whatsoever. so does that mean that the buyer is not always sure what they're getting? correct. it looks from the analysis that they will be getting i just water and salts. the results showed that the lip king sample contained a lower than advertised amount of semaglutide. the uk's drug regulator, the mhra, said...

phone rings we've sent our allegations tojordan parke, aka the lip king, multiple times. we're going to try and contact him once more. well, that's really disappointing. i really wanted to hear the lipking side of the story. we've put our allegations to him multiple times in multiple different ways, and we've got no response. right, good luck, guys — happy weight loss! i don't know, after watching this video, why i thought it was a good idea to inject this. there's clearly many alarm bells. despite warnings from health officials, this booming black market will continue to thrive, putting the public at risk until proper action is taken. aoife walsh, bbc news. you can see more on that in a new bbc three documentary, the skinny jab uncovered,

on the iplayer now. we will discuss it later in the programme. coming up... he's a person i...i love, i enjoy being with. um... that's about it, i think. she's best known for her portrayal of sybil fawlty in the hit 1970's bbc comedy, fawlty towers. he is one of the greatest stage actors of his generation. now, after 60 years of marriage, two children, and a dementia diagnosis, prunella scales and timothy west tell us the secret to their long love story. it isa it is a beautiful watch. absolutely gorgeous. it is what we need to see today. beautifulfarm. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning —

welcome to bbc london, i'm thomas magill. the family of an eight—year—old girl who died when a car crashed into a school in wimbledon have told bbc london that "every day is like a punishment", and have described their daughter as the light of their lives. nuria sajjad died along with another eight—year—old girl when a land rover ploughed into an end—of—term school tea party injuly. the driver was bailed after being arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving. but nuria's parents have criticised the progress of the police investigation. the emotional trauma and the loss of our child just doesn't seem to be front and centre of what's being considered. is that how you feel, smera, as well? yeah. i mean, two girls have lost their lives. - if that is not a priority, then what is? - the met say their thoughts remain with the family of nuria and they "recognise that the time

taken can cause further distress — but it is only right and fair to all involved that we carry out a thorough and extensive investigation". and you can read more of the parents' interview online or by downloading the bbc news app. a cross—party group of london councillors say homelessness in the capital is in an "emergency situation" — and the single fastest way to reverse it is to end the freeze on the local housing allowa nce. around 170,000 londoners — equivalent to one in 50 residents — are homeless and living in temporary accommodation arranged by their local borough. the lha is a form of housing benefit that goes to lower—income households living in privately rented accommodation. let's take a look at the tubes now. severe delays on the northern line between kennington to camden town via bank. now onto the weather

with gemma plumb. good morning. it's set to be a dry and fine day for many of us today. a little bit of a breeze out there today, but there should be plenty of sunshine to come for all of us. so today's starting on a dry note and we'll hold on to that dry weather as we go through the course of the day. plenty of sunshine around, although into the afternoon it might just start to bring in a little bit more in the way of patchy cloud, and there's a little bit of a breeze out there today with highs of around 11 or 12 degrees. as we go through this evening and into the overnight period, it will be dry and clear for a time. but as we go through into the early hours, we're going to start to see that cloud thickening and, by the end of the night, we're going to start to see some rain moving in, as well. so it could be quite a wet start to the day for many of us on thursday, and some of that rain could be quite heavy. tonight will be a chillier night with lows of around four or five degrees. so thursday will start on a wet note, like i say, and that rain will probably continue

for most of us as we go through the course of thursday — it could be heavy at times. at the moment, friday looks as though we're going to see more in the way of dry weather returning, but by this weekend, it is set to turn unsettled once again. it's going to be blustery with spells of rain around, but turning milder. that's it from me — much more on our website, the bbc news app and on bbc radio london. but for now let's cross back tojon and sally. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. we are working hard to work out exactly what is happening in gaza. it is a moving situation, details coming in all the time. what we understand is that overnight and right now, israeli forces have been carrying out a military operation inside the largest hospital in gaza. they are describing this as a precise and targeted action at the site where it claims hamas has a

command centre. us intelligence has backed up those claims overnight. you can see the map and this hospital, we have split spoken a lot about it, the al—shifa hospital. babies have lost access to incubators over the last few days, those pictures have gone around the world. some medics have pleaded for the targeting of it to stop but israel is saying again this morning, the israel defence force spokesperson, in the last few minutes, to cnn, that the hospital complex may be the beating height, he says, of hamas. hamas is designated a terrorist organisation by many governments around the world including the uk which is why israel says it is targeting acro one hospital. says it is targeting acro one hosital. , , says it is targeting acro one hospital-— says it is targeting acro one hosital. , , ,. hospital. this is the scene live this morning. _ hospital. this is the scene live this morning. as _ hospital. this is the scene live this morning. as you - hospital. this is the scene live this morning. as you can - hospital. this is the scene live this morning. as you can see i hospital. this is the scene live i

israel border so it is hard to know exactly what is happening with the camera. you get some movement on it but we can show you some pictures, this is the hospital. these are not today, after this latest targeting by israel began overnight. these are pictures i think from the last couple of days.— pictures i think from the last coule of da s. �* , ., couple of days. and 'ust to remind ou of the couple of days. and 'ust to remind you of the words — couple of days. and just to remind you of the words reported - couple of days. and just to remind you of the words reported by - couple of days. and just to remind you of the words reported by our l you of the words reported by our correspondent in gaza, who had received an eyewitness report from inside this hospital. these pictures are from previously, from the last couple of days, not from the ongoing situation. this is the eyewitness report.

from cancer research uk. good morning to you. thank you for talking to us this morning. how realistic is this ambition? this is a realistic ambition _ realistic is this ambition? this is a realistic ambition because - realistic is this ambition? this is a realistic ambition because the | a realistic ambition because the great news is that we have two tools that can help us tackle cervical cancer, which is a very preventable cancer, which is a very preventable cancer, because it is caused by the hpv virus and we have both the vaccination that helps to eliminate some of the higher risk forms of hpv, and then also that is backed up ljy hpv, and then also that is backed up by cervical screening, which can pick up early cell changes and presence of hpv which can then be treated before they even develop into cancer. so it is great news that the nhs has said using these tools, and also combating some of the difficulties and barriers people face to attending screening and making it easier to book appointments, that they will really try and make sure that prevention of

cervical cancer is a reality. it sounds like this is a success story to date. how do we get to 2040 and eradicating it all together? the main thing _ eradicating it all together? the main thing is — eradicating it all together? the main thing is to _ eradicating it all together? tue: main thing is to maintain eradicating it all together? tte: main thing is to maintain good levels of vaccination coverage and all boys and girls aged 12 to 13 are routinely vaccinated, invited for vaccination through their schools and then also maintaining high levels of cervical screening uptake. at the moment we have seen a dip in cervical screening uptake, partly due to the pause during covid but also we know some women don't come forward because of barriers to attending their screening. so we need to keep the levels of both of these things high, and if we do that, that means they will be very few cases in the future.— that, that means they will be very few cases in the future. what can be done to encourage _ few cases in the future. what can be done to encourage women _ few cases in the future. what can be done to encourage women to - few cases in the future. what can be done to encourage women to go - few cases in the future. what can be done to encourage women to go for| done to encourage women to go for their screening? you talk about there being barriers. there are lots of reasons why women might put that

appointment off. what can be done to change that? the appointment off. what can be done to change that?— appointment off. what can be done to chance that? ,, ., ., ., . change that? the nhs have announced toda the change that? the nhs have announced today they want _ change that? the nhs have announced today they want to _ change that? the nhs have announced today they want to look _ change that? the nhs have announced today they want to look at _ change that? the nhs have announced today they want to look at different - today they want to look at different ways of making appointments easier. we know that some of the barriers people face our fear and embarrassment people face ourfear and embarrassment and people face our fear and embarrassment and discomfort around the cervical screening test, and different approaches are being looked at. for example, in some areas of low uptake there is a trial to look at where self the sampling and attest women do at home might be more acceptable. we also have had improvements in recent years. cancer research uk researchers have shown that cervical screening where you look for hpv and then you look for cervical abnormalities can now reduce the period, the interval between different screening, so women don't always have to go for screening quite as often. it is a

case of information, improvements to the programme, but also making sure that women know that they can talk to their nurse about any concerns that they have and adjustments also can be made during the screening process. t can be made during the screening rocess. , , . ., , process. i guess particularly focusina process. i guess particularly focusing the _ process. i guess particularly focusing the message - process. i guess particularly focusing the message on i process. i guess particularly i focusing the message on younger women, because cervical cancer, one of the most common types of cancer in under 40s? of the most common types of cancer in under 405?— in under 40s? that's right. unlike many cancers _ in under 40s? that's right. unlike many cancers which _ in under 40s? that's right. unlike many cancers which risk _ in under 40s? that's right. unlike many cancers which risk increases with age, the peak of cervical cancer is for women in their 30s and so with each new generation it is important that we re—stress the importance of cervical screening and the fact that it is preventative, it is about finding early hpv and early changes so they can be treated effectively, so really important that we get that message through. itide that we get that message through. we have seen that screening is a really successful model and it seems to be working. are there any other types of cancer that this could be applied to? ., ., , ., . ., ,

pressure that has been driving the weather is pushing off into the north sea but we still have the active end of the weather front. we have another weather front coming in across the west of the country, that is fairly weak, and a transient ridge of high pressure which will eventually kill off a lot of the showers. we have seen quite steady rain with snow on the tops of the mountains in scotland through the night. here is our weak weather front and we have a peppering of showers especially across wales and south—west england to start the day. through the day this weather front will continue to weaken. the system in scotland will sink further south, so we will see more sunshine across the north of scotland, and as the ridge of high pressure builds in across southern england, wales and northern ireland it will start to kill off the showers, brighten up and more it will cease in china. the other thing about today it is quite blustery at the moment but wind will ease through the day with temperatures eight to 14 degrees north to south. later we will see the next batch of rain waiting in the next batch of rain waiting in the winds. another area of low

pressure coming our way. it will introduce some rain and some strengthening winds across the south—west through the night. we will still have a few showers clinging to eastern parts of scotland and north—east england, but there will be some clear skies. where we have clear skies and light winds, especially across scotland, temperatures will fall away low enough for a frost in some sheltered kinds, down to —5. sheltered parts of northern england and across northern ireland, temperatures will fall away, so we could see a touch of frost here, as well. mist or and bug forming overnight will be slow to clear through tomorrow. talking of tomorrow, here is the rain coming in across the southern areas. again, some could be heavy. it will be windy through the the channel islands. local gales here. later in the day we have the next band of rain coming in from the atlantic. tomorrow's dryer and brightest weather bar a few showers will be across scotland. it will also feel chilly tomorrow, as well. only six in lerwick, nine in liverpool, but

still 14 where we have the cloud, rain and wind in the channel islands. from thursday to friday, where front pushes across us. we have a weak system coming in and another ridge of high pressure building. that means we start off with a few showers in some eastern areas. they will clear. as the ridge builds in there will be a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine. from our weakfront weather, a fair bit of sunshine. from our weak front we could see one or two showers but then later in the day, again, the cloud will build from the west, the wind will strengthen and we will see our next area of low pressure coming in. it is like a conveyor belt at the moment, and that will bring in rain. but notjust rain, also some high temperatures. we have a change in our ms that we see that as the yellow start to return to the chart. with that comes a clutch of weather fronts, so notjust warmer air but also rain and the squeeze in the isobars tells its own story. into the weekend it will be wet, windy at

times with local gales. but the temperatures once again i going to rise. that bike is truly mixed! that is one of the most mixed bags we have ever had! laughter that is a good line, i will steal that. i that is a good line, i will steal that. ., , that is a good line, i will steal that. ., ~ that is a good line, i will steal that. ., ,, ., that is a good line, i will steal that. . ,, . that. i was talking about the weather! — that. i was talking about the weather! he _ that. i was talking about the weather! he is _ that. i was talking about the weather! he is on _ that. i was talking about the weather! he is on form i that. i was talking about the i weather! he is on form today, that. i was talking about the - weather! he is on form today, carol, weather! he is on form today, carol, we will have — weather! he is on form today, carol, we will have to _ weather! he is on form today, carol, we will have to watch _ weather! he is on form today, carol, we will have to watch out _ she is best known for her role as the domineering and long—suffering sybil fawlty in the hit bbc comedy fawlty towers. he is one of the greatest stage actors of his generation. now, after 60 years of marriage, timothy west and prunella scales — who was diagnosed with dementia nearly ten years ago — have been lifting the lid on their enduring love story. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson went to meet them. 60 years of showbiz marriage.

how long? 60 years. 60 years? it hasn't really been hard work, has it? no! he's a person i...i love, i enjoy being with. um... that's about it, i think. prunella scales is best known as sybil in fawlty towers. basil...there's a kipper sticking out of yourjacket. timothy west is regarded as one of the best stage actors of his generation. what means your graces? good my friends, consider, you are my guests. but for the last 20 years — meaning for almost a third of their marriage — prunella scales has had vascular dementia. it was in 2001 when her husband first spotted that something was not right. i came to see a play that pru was doing in greenwich. i went to see the first night and it was fine, it was good...good. much enjoyed by the audience.

and then... i went to see it again a bit later on and i thought... pru's. . .a bit strange. shes not...not totally with it. she's not...not totally with it. it was more than a decade later that the diagnosis for dementia came. yes, it was, yes. yes, it was. we went to see a specialist who just said, "i'm sorry," you know, "this isjust something that happens to you when you get older and... it's not going to get any easier, but you can cope with it." we manage. # hello, hannah. # well, hello, hannah. # it's so nice to have you back where you belong. timothy west decided that the year of their diamond wedding anniversary was the perfect time to write pru and me — a love story which doesn't shy away from talking about dementia, but understandably mainly

focuses on the fun. pru, what made you first fall in love with tim? what made me fall in love with him? um... did you? chuckling. i don't know — well, we were working together. and i like being with him. you know? we were doing a job, weren't we? we were doing a terrible play, yes. yeah, a terrible play. we used to keep... keep...talking to each other through letter—writing. he writes lovely letters. marvellous letters. we both...loved writing to each other. sometimes two or three times a day. three times a day? you're putting the rest of us to shame, guys! how do you feel your relationship has changed over the years? i don't think it's changed at all. no, no. do you?

i've got to know him better and better and better. i know that things are going to change a little bit, but it's been a long time and we've managed pretty well, really. i don't think we ever think, "oh, no, come on..." no, i don't — not ever. i've been asked to live for the rest of my life with somebody i respect very much and i quite admire, and agree with about a lot of things, and argue with about a lot of things very — quite, quite happily, you know? one of the wonderful things is you've got each other�*s work to look at. yes, yes. that's absolutely true, yes. yeah. how do you feel when you watch pru in fawlty towers? do you really imagine, even in your wildest dreams, that a girl like this could possibly be interested in an ageing

brilliantined stick insect like you? laughter. oh, yes, well, i enjoy it because... because it's good. it's good. and she's.... i get a few notes! yes, yes — sometimes, yes. that's fair enough, yeah. one really unexpected hit was the great canaljourneys. first thing you can see as you come round the bend... right. ..is that rather extraordinary tower. yes. we didn't start out thinking it was going to be an especially exciting performance for people to watch. we just said, you know, this is something we do, and why not make some of it available to people who would like to use the canals themselves? but on the whole, it's been tremendously enjoyable to do because we're actually quite good at it. yes, after all these years,

it is clear that this is a love story undiminished by dementia. how does it feel to have been married 60 years? how does it feel to you? well, i... i don't know. what am i supposed to say? thank you. well, thank you. thank you and thank you... thank you. thank you for seeing me for so long. well, we've done all right. colin paterson, bbc news. they certainly have, haven't they? they— they certainly have, haven't they? they have — they certainly have, haven't they? they have done better than all right. they have done better than all ritht, ., , .y they have done better than all riuht. . , ., they have done better than all riuht. . ,_ ., . right. happy anniversary to tim and pru. that right. happy anniversary to tim and pru- that is — right. happy anniversary to tim and pru- that is a _ right. happy anniversary to tim and pru. that is a proper— right. happy anniversary to tim and pru. that is a proper love _ right. happy anniversary to tim and pru. that is a proper love story. i pru. that is a proper love story. inspiring- _ still to come... # home for christmas we should be. # home with friends and family.

the driver was bailed after being arrested on suspicon of dangerous driving. but nuria's parents have criticised the progress of the police investigation. the emotional trauma and the loss of our child just doesn't seem to be front and centre of what's being considered. is that how you feel, smera, as well? yeah. i mean, two girls have lost their lives. - if that is not a priority, then what is? - the met say their thoughts remain with the family of nuria and they recognise that the time taken can cause further distress, "but it is only right and fair to all involved that we carry out a thorough and extensive investigation". and you can hear more of that interview with nuria's parents on bbc radio london after seven this morning. a cross—party group of london councillors say homelessness in the capital is in an emergency situation, and the single fastest way to reverse

it is to end the freeze on the local housing allowance. around 170,000 londoners — equivalent to one in 50 residents — are homeless and living in temporary accommodation arranged by their local borough. the lha is a form of housing benefit that goes to lower—income households living in privately rented accommodation. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's minor delays on the northern and overground lines, but otherwise a good service on the rest of the network. now onto the weather with gemma plumb. good morning. it's set to be a dry and fine day for many of us today. a little bit of a breeze out there today, but there should be plenty of sunshine to come for all of us. so today's starting on a dry note and we'll hold on to that dry weather as we go through the course of the day. plenty of sunshine around, although into the afternoon it might just start to bring in a little bit more in the way of patchy cloud,

and there's a little bit of a breeze out there today with highs of around 11 or 12 degrees. as we go through this evening and into the overnight period, it will be dry and clear for a time. but as we go through into the early hours, we're going to start to see that cloud thickening and, by the end of the night, we're going to start to see some rain moving in, as well. so it could be quite a wet start to the day for many of us on thursday, and some of that rain could be quite heavy. tonight will be a chillier night with lows of around four or five degrees. so thursday will start on a wet note, like i say, and that rain will probably continue for most of us as we go through the course of thursday — it could be heavy at times. at the moment, friday looks as though we're going to see more in the way of dry weather returning, but by this weekend, it is set to turn unsettled once again. it's going to be blustery with spells of rain around, but turning milder. that's it from me — much more on our website, the bbc news app and on bbc radio london, where there will be regualr bulletins across the morning.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. israel says it is carrying out military operations against hamas inside gaza pass largest hospital right now. an eyewitness tells the bbc they have seen tanks and commando soldiers entering the main emergency department. the supreme court rules whether the government because my plans to send some asylum seekers to rwanda is lawful. inflation figures due out in the next few minutes. we are expecting to see that price rises slowed down in october. i will look at what it means for you and your cost of living. a man is arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after the death of nottingham panthers ice hockey player adam johnson during a game last month. from boy band fame to children's

altar, and now he is also a playwright. tom fletcherjoins us to tell us about creating his first kids' show. good morning. today for parts of england and scotland we are looking at cloud and party like rain. they will be sunshine and showers. showers easing through the day. good morning, it is wednesday the 15th of november. the israeli army says it is carrying out a military operation against hamas in gaza's largest hospital, al—shifa. it describes it as a precise and targeted action at the site in the north of the territory. both israel and of the us claim that hamas as a command base under the al—shifa hospital, something hamas denies. an eyewitness inside of the hospital told the bbc they saw israeli tanks

and then the soldiers entered the building. the bbc is not yet been able to verify these claims. we are just getting lots of information in. we are going through it minute by minute. and we havejust had we are going through it minute by minute. and we have just had this update from our correspondent rusty other blue. today the bbc was told by two eyewitnesses inside that israeli soldiers are storming five buildings of the hospital. one of the witnesses told the bbc that they saw six tanks and over 100 israeli commanders entering the main department emergency room and they were shouting in arabic, don't move, don't move. those are the words of rushdi abualouf. this is the live shot from the border between israel and gaza. we are getting update all of the

time which we will bring to you. the latest line coming from the hamas government media office. they have issued a statement calling israel pass rate on the al—shifa hospital in a war crime. a moral crime. and a crime against humanity. it goes on to say 9000 patients, medical staff and displaced civilians were out of the hospital when the raid happened under the cover of night. just a little bit more information. this is a civilian facility, not a military installation, according to this statement. that is the line from hamas. hamas. hamas designated a terrorist organisation by the uk government and many other governments around the world. we have had a statement as well from the israel defence force. their spokesperson insisting that this hospital compound you see at the moment, the al—shifa hospital, is what they're calling

maybe even the beating heart of hamas, a centre of gravity, they say. they claim that beneath that hospital, and even within the walls of the hospital, a command centre for terrorists. that is why they say they are having to targeted as part of their wider operation. mark lohan is in southern israel. good morning. what more can you tell us? morning. we are getting an eyewitness statement to the bbc, another eyewitness from inside the hospital, who says that israeli forces are going, in his words, room to room, floor to floor, questioning everyone. they are accompanied by medics and arabic speakers. he says the displaced civilians are made to gather in the courtyard. some have had to remove their clothes for security reasons. this eyewitness describes the israeli military as being in complete control of

al—shifa hospital. a reminder that al—shifa hospital. a reminder that al—shifa is gaza's largest hospital. around a 22 acre com plex. so, the israeli military, in the words of the eyewitness, in complete control, adding that there is no shooting going on inside the hospital. now, the americans, as you alluded to there, have gone the furthest they have so far in backing up israel's claims regarding al—shifa, saying that according to american intelligence, hamas command centres are underneath al—shifa, which they are underneath al—shifa, which they are also using as weapons storage and possibly also to hold hostages. under international humanitarian law, a hospital must be protected from fighting. however, also under international law if a hospital is being used for military purposes, it loses its protected status. and therefore, if the claims indeed are

proved, that hamas is using al—shifa as a command centre, it loses its protected status and that would be a war crime committed also by hamas. that gives you a sense of how complicated this is under international humanitarian law. we are still, of course, in a situation where dozens of corpses, bodies are lying outside of the hospital. the hospital said yesterday they were having to dig a grave, a mass grave, for some 180 bodies outside the hospital. the israelis say they are transporting equipment, incubators and baby food and medical supplies to the hospital as a sign of not targeting al—shifa for medical reasons, but only targeting it for what they say is a hamas command centre. thank you for that latest update. we will bring you all the latest lines as we get them through the morning. now let's get the latest news from jon. thank you. there is a lot going on

this morning. let's start with the fact that the latest uk inflation figures are just out, telling us fact that the latest uk inflation figures arejust out, telling us how much prices are rising by. inflation has fallen to 4.6%. that is the lowest level it has been for two years. but what does that tell us about the wider economy and about your money?— about the wider economy and about your money? bank can tell us more. good morning- _ your money? bank can tell us more. good morning. this _ your money? bank can tell us more. good morning. this figure _ your money? bank can tell us more. good morning. this figure tells i your money? bank can tell us more. good morning. this figure tells us i good morning. this figure tells us how much prices went up on average in october compared to a year ago for the goods and services we all typically spend our money on. in october, inflation was at 4.6%. now that figure, 4.6%. that means if you spent £100 on a range of things in october last year, that shame shopping park —— basket would cost you £104.60 when you're on. it is on average. some things would have gone up average. some things would have gone up more sharply in price while others will have gone up by less, some may even have fallen. that overall rate of price rises is lower

thanit overall rate of price rises is lower than it was in september, down from 6.7%. and it has come down a lot since the start of the year when it was over 10%. remember, since the start of the year when it was over10%. remember, back since the start of the year when it was over 10%. remember, back then the prime minister pledged to halve inflation by the end of 2023. so he has now made that priority. that has never achieved. what is behind it? a couple of reasons. first, a fall in energy prices. ofgem's lower energy prices took effect last month. gas and electricity costs have come down. a fall in some food prices from one month to the next also helped to bring down average price rises. despite some groceries following month on month, food and drink prices are still generally higher than a year ago. remember this as well. slower price rises overall may relieve pressure on some households, but it doesn't mean the cost of living crisis has gone away. a cooling and inflation is welcome, particularly — a cooling and inflation is welcome, particularly since we have come away

from the _ particularly since we have come away from the peak of 11.1%, which was the figure — from the peak of 11.1%, which was the figure for inflation last october. so this is really important. for consumers it means that even_ important. for consumers it means that even though inflation is cooling. _ that even though inflation is cooling, that actually means that price _ cooling, that actually means that price rises — cooling, that actually means that price rises are easing. it doesn't necessarily— price rises are easing. it doesn't necessarily mean that prices are falling — necessarily mean that prices are falling. that is something consumers have to _ falling. that is something consumers have to he _ falling. that is something consumers have to be aware of when it comes to their budgeting. they still do need to keep _ their budgeting. they still do need to keep a — their budgeting. they still do need to keep a keen eye on their finances to keep a keen eye on their finances to ensure _ to keep a keen eye on their finances to ensure that they retain financial resilience — resilience. it's - resilience. it's also worth saying the bank resilience. — it's also worth saying the bank of england has a target to keep inflation at 2%. that is seen as a healthy rate for the economy. the current figure is still well above that. that is why the bank of england has been increasing interest rates over the past couple of years, to try and bring inflation down closer to that. the main rate of interest is now 5.25%. we are seeing the effects of that. if borrowing is more expensive, it deters people and businesses from spending. a drop in

demand tends to lead to price rises slowing or in some cases prices may even start to fall. thank you. thank you very much indeed. we hearfrom the government later and ask a much greater if they can claim for that reduction in inflation. all eyes on the supreme court of this morning. they're going to rule on whether the government's plant to send some asylum seekers to rwanda is lawful. the policy was blocked by the appeal court earlier this year. of the government is appealing against that decision. this is all part of a central plan by rishi sunak to stop small boats crossing the channel. mark easton explains. the new home secretary has barely got through the door of his office, but james cleverly faces the real threat that, within 48 hours of his arrival, the centrepiece of his department's illegal migration policy will be in tatters. i had a very good conversation with the prime minister, who's made it very clear that he wants us to deliver on our promises to stop the boats. thank you.

with the prime minister's demands still ringing in his ears, civil servants will have briefed him on his narrowing options should today's supreme court judgment be that sending asylum seekers to rwanda is unlawful. the government believes that by swiftly relocating cross—channel arrivals to east africa, the business model of the people smuggling gangs will be fatally damaged. 615 arrived on the kent coast on sunday alone. there is a serious and pressing need to take effective steps that will act as a deterrent. the government wants the supreme court justices to overturn the appeal court's conclusion that genuine refugees sent to rwanda might end up back in the country from which they fled, breaching their human rights under the european convention. this lawyer represents asylum seekers who originally challenged the lawfulness of the rwanda policy. the supreme court will be

considering whether rwanda is a safe third country and will be considering a wealth of evidence, including from the unhcr, about fundamental deficiencies in rwanda's asylum system. if the government wins, ministers are hopeful that flights will take off for rwanda before christmas. if they lose, its thought the home office will seek a new treaty with the rwandan government to take account of the concerns of the supreme courtjustices. but there are some in the conservative party who argue the real problem is the uk's commitment to the european convention on human rights. as foreign secretary, mr cleverly said he was not convinced the uk needed to leave the convention. as home secretary, will he still think the same later this morning? mark easton, bbc news. let's talk to henry about this. whatever the supreme court decides to date, it is a massive decision for the government, isn't it? yellow migrate is a huge day for the

government.— migrate is a huge day for the covernment. a, . government. monday a huge day. the return of david _ government. monday a huge day. the return of david cameron, _ government. monday a huge day. the return of david cameron, which i government. monday a huge day. the return of david cameron, which none | return of david cameron, which none of us were expecting. tuesday was a huge day, a fullbore attack from the former home secretary on rishi sunak. and today i think could be the biggest day of the lot because right back to borisjohnson there is asylum policy has been the heart of the government's attempts to curb illegal immigration and to stop small boats crossing the english channel. the supreme court is the highest court in the land. this is effectively the final verdict. should they give the government of the green light that would be a real psychological boost for the conservative party and could potentially change the situation, though perhaps not, critics will say it is a tiny number of people and that won't actually change the incentives, the pull factors, for people to come here. should there be an adverse ruling by the supreme court, it will be fascinating to see how rishi sunak response, but also

how rishi sunak response, but also how james cleverly, the new home secretary, responds and shows people what his instincts are on this issue. �* . ,., what his instincts are on this issue. �* . ., ., ., issue. and also how the former home secreta , issue. and also how the former home secretary. suella _ issue. and also how the former home secretary, suella braverman, - secretary, suella braverman, response, because that letter she sent yesterday to rishi sunak explaining her thoughts on leaving office, the attack was extraordinary, wasn't it? there is no adjective _ extraordinary, wasn't it? there is no adjective you _ extraordinary, wasn't it? there is no adjective you could _ extraordinary, wasn't it? there is no adjective you could use - extraordinary, wasn't it? there is no adjective you could use that i no adjective you could use that would feel over hyped for this letter. i have never quite seen any thing as bitter, as i could come as acrimonious. that is extraordinary because just a couple of days ago, though clearly privately the relationship wasn't great, she was rishi sunak�*s com secretary. one thing ifind really fascinating is notjust thing ifind really fascinating is not just the thing ifind really fascinating is notjust the language, the proper attack on rishi sunak�*s leadership across various issue, including the issue of small boats, she claims there was a document they agreed during the leadership election when she backed him last summer, the second conservative leadership

election, and she says rishi sunak renate in certain commitments it made two. she had not produced that document. i asked whether that document. i asked whether that document existed. let's see whether that document gets produced. if it does, i think it could become a rallying point for conservative mps who are unhappy with rishi sunak�*s leadership. you who are unhappy with rishi sunak's leadershi. ., ., who are unhappy with rishi sunak's leadershi. ., . . leadership. you are having quite the week. leadership. you are having quite the week- thank — leadership. you are having quite the week. thank you _ leadership. you are having quite the week. thank you for _ leadership. you are having quite the week. thank you for now. _ week. thank you for now. see you later. the nhs has pledged to wipe out cervical cancer in england by 2040. amanda prichard amanda pricha rd says amanda prichard says improved hpv vaccination programmes in schools and an increase in cervical screening rates together could see the disease, which claims the lives of 850 women a year in the uk, eradicated over the next two decades. hundreds of people have spent the night away from home after a tower block in bristol was evacuated following the discovery of major structural faults. following the discovery of major structuralfaults. the following the discovery of major structural faults. the council says

there is no immediate risk to health or life. emergency services are on standby as a precaution. amanda palmer was there. just the bare essentials, hastily packed cases and rucksacks, and around 400 people left their homes with no idea when or if they might return. we've never, ever had anything like this before. fires, yeah, but, erm... ..not having to move out. where i'm going? i have four kids. where i take them now at this time? the mosque is full. where i'm going? it is burning, because you don't see the people when they knock our door and everybody rushing out, and, "what's happened? what's happened?" start asking people, everybody pass it to the other one. and he didn't know, he didn't know — "we are waiting for the council. and somebody is going to..." it's not like that. so, shock, angerand in some cases complete despair. where are they going to stay? how we manage to get them to school tomorrow? how am i going to go to work tomorrow?

that's what things are. i don't have no flat. i don't have nowhere to stay. it's tough, to be honest. i'm panicking. i'm so panicked. it's so difficult to me. i'm so sorry. sorry you're going through it. i know. it's so horrible, so horrible. the city council declared a major incident. they said surveys showed the building would not be safe in the event of a fire or explosion. there are significant structural faults. so we surveyed three flats out of the 98 within the building. it gives us a smattering — a smaller bit of evidence that led us to believe, actually there could be a wider problem. so we're now going to conduct a range of surveys over the next week. housing officers and welfare support workers have been on hand, but many have called for better communication after the shock announcement that left them reeling and out in the cold. amanda parr there. and our reporterjohn maguire is there this morning.

heartbreaking to see those people wondering where they were going to end up last night. do we know where they have gone?— they have gone? various different laces. they have gone? various different places- what _ they have gone? various different places. what the _ they have gone? various different places. what the council - they have gone? various different places. what the council had i they have gone? various different places. what the council had said | places. what the council had said when they broke that news to people yesterday, i was talking to one resident last night, who spent the night, a few did decide to stay on, the council said to take enough stuff for one, maybe two nights, try to stay with family and friends. there was a real community response. there was a real community response. there is a gp surgery up the road that opened its doors. around 50 people there. barton house houses around 400 people normally. as you can imagine that is a lot of people to try to look after across the city. there was also a centre opened in the city centre as well by the council to try to give people at least a bed for the night. but as you saw from the report there, people grabbed what they go out and left as soon as they could to try to make sure they were as safe as

possible. to try to put things into context, this building was constructed in 1958. 65 years old. the council saying it is a unique construction. the other tower blocks that surround this area may not be affected. probably aren't affected, actually, by the issues here. they are not entirely sure what the issue is. as you head in the report, essential to try to figure out exactly what is going on. it is not right correct or not like that aerated concrete which is affecting schools and councils etc a few months ago. it is now up to civil engineers, architects, surveyors etc, to figure out what has happened. forthe etc, to figure out what has happened. for the people who managed to find a bed for the night last night, not too far away, because people have to go to work and school, the priority for them is to find out what is going on and when they can get back home. indeed. hopefully they will get some answers soon.

thank you very much indeed. eight is 20 past seven exactly. here is carol with the weather. good morninu. here is carol with the weather. good morning- it — here is carol with the weather. good morning- it is _ here is carol with the weather. good morning- it is a _ here is carol with the weather. good morning. it is a mixed _ here is carol with the weather. good morning. it is a mixed bag. - morning. it is a mixed bag. temperatures are up and down, rain times, such might. —— sunshine. today we have a lot of cloud and some rain in the north. bright and breezy conditions in the south. you can see what is happening quite nicely on the satellite. we have got all this cloud. this is producing some rain. we have got a big batch of cloud coming in from the atlantic later on which will produce heavy rain. rain across scotland are sinking further south as we go through the course of today. it will brighten up in the north of scotland. a weak weather front trekked across northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england, some cloud around that. the rain increasingly turning party. showers in wales and south—west entered. east anglia, the midlands

and the south—east should stay mostly dry with sunshine. three the day it will be blustery, especially for the south across england and wales. this band of rain will start to break up. temperatures, eight in the north to 14 in the south. you can see what is waiting in the wings behind me. this evening and overnight at this rain and the cloud out of it starts to build. the wind picks up on the south—west. a few showers left over in eastern scotland and north—east england. it would be called across the northern half of the country with a local frost and also set mist and fog. the mist and fog tomorrow will be sorted here. —— slow to clear. windy in the channel islands. locally we will see some cows. later the next band of rain comes in from the west. the driest conditions tomorrow will be in scotland are a few showers. cooler tomorrow than today. thank you. see you soon. just after

20 past seven. the number of smokers lighting up across the uk is now at a record low. but despite that new figures this morning suggest millions of cigarette buts are still being discarded every single day. the campaign group keep britain tidy site cigarettes now account for more than 60% of all later in england. tim muffett is in kingston. is a problem there?— tim muffett is in kingston. is a problem there? tim muffett is in kingston. is a roblem there? ~ , , , problem there? well, it seems it is re problem there? well, it seems it is pretty much — problem there? well, it seems it is pretty much a _ problem there? well, it seems it is pretty much a problem _ problem there? well, it seems it is| pretty much a problem everywhere. problem there? well, it seems it is i pretty much a problem everywhere. we are talking about the amount of litter on our streets. it can be hard to visualise what that looks like. keep britain tidy has said 2.7 million cigarette buts are dropped on uk high streets every day. if you break that down on an hour by hour basis between eight in the morning and eight in the evening, that is about 225,000 cigarette buts per hour. what does that look like. it looks like this. keep britain tidy

have called it an inhalation installation. a visual, stark reminder of what an issue dropped cigarettes are. smokers are three times likely than nonsmokers to even not consider these to be litter. the idea that cigarette buts don't cause any harm, there —— that is not the case. cigarette filters can can trade get —— contain traces of arsenic, lead and nicotine. they are not biodegradable. if they end up in the river, they can create real damage to marine wildlife as well. later we will be speaking to a man whose mission is to clean the streets of as many of these as possible. but litter is certainly notjust possible. but litter is certainly not just an possible. but litter is certainly notjust an issue on high streets. it is a problem in rural areas as well. thomas morgan has been with mountain bikers in north wales who have been combining their hobby with a desire to make forest as tidy as possible. when you think of littering, the forest may not be the first

place that comes to mind. there's some just down here. oh, i see — i can see it, yeah. yeah, so this is getting like — this is another one. wherever i see rivers or wash—throughs or pipes, i expect to see trash because it all gets funnelled in. within the covered wilderness of our woodlands, the spread of our contamination is becoming more apparent — thanks to the work of a group of mountain bikers. trash free trails began six years ago by dom ferris, and his two passions of mountain biking and conservationism combined. if you speak to anyone, you know — a group of kids, especially — you say, you know, what animal comes to mind when you think about the harm that plastic pollution does? you know, and it's turtles, dolphins, whales. but, you know, four to 23 times more plastic pollution's entering our terrestrial ecosystems than is the oceans, so it has to be doing similar types of harm to the wildlife in these places. mark is one of the many volunteers.

he's now an ambassador for the group, as it's an issue that's close to his heart. does it annoy you at all? as i said when i first started cleaning trails, i used to be really angry and i used to walk around with a face like thunder. the group's just released their state of our trails report, shedding further light on the scale of the issue. over the past three years, trash are trails have collected at least 120,000 different individual pieces of litter — and the highest polluters, amounting to 15% of everything they've collected, have been plastic single—use drinks containers. and a third of everything that's been picked up have shown signs of animal interaction — and there's real concern about the deadly impact our rubbish could be having on wildlife. clear signs of animal interaction with this, with this packet of crisps here — all these chew marks. really sadly, 21% have reported signs of animal death. now there's different kinds

that we record that. so there would be the obvious kind — finding remains, either of invertebrates or, you know, again, a bit more sadly, keystone species like mice, voles. and a lot of those, sadly, are kind of trapped inside bottles because they've gone in after it and can't get their way back out. what would you like to see from this report, and what would you like to see from the government implement? we strongly believe that a deposit—return scheme will make a massive overnight difference. so, you know, you buy yourself... you buy yourself a one—litre water bottle from a supermarket and drink it, you take it back and you get 10p or 20p back on that. you actually — you do pay 10p or 20p more, but by taking it back, you get your deposit returned. drinks bottle. scotland was due to be the first country in the uk to implement a deposit—return scheme earlier this year, but that's been delayed until 2025, as it works with the rest of the home nations on a similar approach on the issue.

the cleaner our forests, the cleaner they'll remain — that's trash free trails' hope — but also that their work will keep our wildlife safe and ourforests edens we'll want to drop into for years to come. tomos morgan, bbc news, llandegla. effo rts efforts to keep forests tidy. keep britain tidy are focusing on cigarette buts today. the medical advice is don't smoke in the first place. but if you do, when it comes to discarding a cigarette, they want people to think carefully about what they do. so many are discarded. this is a temporary structure. it will be cleared away. they want people to think about what an issue these days. we will be talking in a while to somebody who has picked up more than 100 million —— 1 million

cigarette buts. first, the news when you are. a very good morning — welcome to bbc london, i'm thomas magill. the family of an eight—year—old girl who died when a car crashed into a school in wimbledon have told bbc london that "every day is like a punishment", and have described their daughter as the light of their lives. nuria sajjad died along with another eight—year—old girl when a land rover ploughed into an end—of—term school tea party injuly. the driver was bailed after being arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving. but nuria's parents have criticised the progress of the police investigation. the emotional trauma and the loss of our child just doesn't seem to be front and centre of what's being considered. is that how you feel, smera, as well? yeah. i mean, two girls have lost their lives. - if that is not a priority, then what is? -

the met say their thoughts remain with the family of nuria and they "recognise that the time taken can cause further distress — but it is only right and fair to all involved that we carry out a thorough and extensive investigation." and you can hearfrom the family on our lunchtime and evening programmes at 1.30 and 6.30 this evening. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with gemma plumb. good morning. it's set to be a dry and fine day for many of us today. a little bit of a breeze out there today, but there should be plenty of sunshine to come for all of us. so today's starting on a dry note and we'll hold on to that dry weather as we go through the course of the day. plenty of sunshine around, although into the afternoon it might just start to bring in a little bit more in the way of patchy cloud, and there's a little bit of a breeze out there today with highs of around 11 or 12 degrees. as we go through this evening and into the overnight period,

it will be dry and clear for a time. but as we go through into the early hours, we're going to start to see that cloud thickening and, by the end of the night, we're going to start to see some rain moving in, as well. so it could be quite a wet start to the day for many of us on thursday, and some of that rain could be quite heavy. tonight will be a chillier night with lows of around four or five degrees. so thursday will start on a wet note, like i say, and that rain will probably continue for most of us as we go through the course of thursday — it could be heavy at times. at the moment, friday looks as though we're going to see more in the way of dry weather returning, but by this weekend, it is set to turn unsettled once again. it's going to be blustery with spells of rain around, but turning milder. nowjust before we go — it's children in need week all this week, and we are looking at the youngsters in london who benefit from your donations. and for children in the royal london hospital, the london symphony orchestra regularly visits to offer music sessions. they deliver mini bedside concerts for children and families coping with life—limiting and life—threatening illnesses. it can calm, it can soothe, but it can distract. you know, someone mightjust be

having a really uncomfortable day and they're just, you know, feeling rotten and it can just distract them and take them away from it. what a wonderful charity. more on that tonight, as well. that's it from me — much more on our website, the bbc news app and on bbc radio london, where there will be regular bulletins across the morning. i'll be back in half an hour with the latest for london. good morning. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. lots to tell you about this morning. a major developing story this morning. the israeli army says it's carrying out a military operation against hamas inside gaza's largest hospital, al—shifa, where both israel and the us claim that hamas has a command base. they deny the claims. hamas — which is regarded a terrorist organisation by the uk government — has issued a statement calling israel's raid on gaza's al—shifa hospital a "war crime",

a "moral crime" and a "crime against humanity". we can speak now to gareth davies, exchequer secretary to the treasury. good morning. i know there is a lot to get through but i want to start in the middle east. your reaction to these developments overnight at the al—shifa hospital. goad these developments overnight at the al-shifa hospital.— these developments overnight at the al-shifa hospital. good morning. the british government _ al-shifa hospital. good morning. the british government has _ al-shifa hospital. good morning. the british government has been - al-shifa hospital. good morning. the british government has been very i british government has been very clear that we support israel in tackling hamas, one of the worst terrorist organisations that the world has ever seen. we have also been clear that israel needs to act in accordance with international humanitarian law. i am not close to the developments you refer to but we maintain that position and maintain constant engagement with the israeli government. constant engagement with the israeli covernment. ., .. ., constant engagement with the israeli government-— government. your reaction to that statement from _ government. your reaction to that statement from hamas, _ government. your reaction to that statement from hamas, which i government. your reaction to that statement from hamas, which we| government. your reaction to that i statement from hamas, which we know is designated a terrorist organisation, that this is a war crime and a moral crime. what is not

as i say, in accordance with international humanitarian law. you are here to — international humanitarian law. you are here to talk— international humanitarian law. you are here to talk to us, i know, or to react to the inflation figures we have had. 4.6%. you must be pleased with that. ~ ~ , ., with that. well, i think we should all be pleased — with that. well, i think we should all be pleased with _ with that. well, i think we should all be pleased with that, - with that. well, i think we should all be pleased with that, inflationi all be pleased with that, inflation reached nearly 11% at the end of last year. it is still too high, we are most certainly not complacent, but obviously we are pleased it is going in the right direction, significantly reduced. this will have a positive impact on families and businesses across the country. we have always been clear that tackling inflation is our number one priority because it does impact everybody. it impacts our prospects for growth and so yes, it is good that inflation is coming down, but inflation rarely goes down in a straight line, so we have to maintain our vigilance to inflation and make sure that we, specifically in the treasury and across the

government, i doing things to ensure we don't exacerbate inflation, we don't make it worse, and we continue to support the bank of england in getting it down. to support the bank of england in getting it down-— to support the bank of england in getting it down. what most people watchin: getting it down. what most people watching this _ getting it down. what most people watching this programme - getting it down. what most people watching this programme will i getting it down. what most people watching this programme will want getting it down. what most people i watching this programme will want to know is when this is going to impact how much money they have to spend. in terms of food and fuel. we have at the latest statement from the ons just a short time ago, pointing out that energy prices, food prices are still higher than they were two years ago. so people are going to feel any effect from this? igrate feel any effect from this? we appreciate — feel any effect from this? - appreciate people are going through appreciate people are going through a different time and have gone through a difficult time —— people are not going to feel any effect. prices are still high but we should recognise that energy prices and food inflation in particular is coming down. like i said, we have to stay with the plan, we have to stay vigilant to inflation because it does affect everybody and people are still feeling the effects of high inflation, even at 4.6%, that is higher than the bank of england targets, which is why we have to

try to bring down inflation. in the treasury we have a number of levers available. the first thing we can do is make difficult decisions on things like public sector pay, on increasing borrowing, which would increase inflation stop but we also have introduced measures such as the energy price guarantee, which the obr have been clear would knock off about 2% from headline inflation to bring down energy bills. so there are tools available to us. i want to be really clear, the bank of england have the primary tool of interest rates but we have a role to play in bringing it down. it has never been inevitable that inflation would come down. it has taken difficult decisions from us an action by the of england to get inflation down. igrate of england to get inflation down. we know there is a big decision due later today and one of the —— on one of the government's key policies, the rwanda decision. what happens if the rwanda decision. what happens if the government does not succeed today? tt the government does not succeed toda ? , , . ., ., today? it is difficult for me to speculate _ today? it is difficult for me to speculate on _ today? it is difficult for me to speculate on what _ today? it is difficult for me to speculate on what the - today? it is difficult for me to l speculate on what the decision today? it is difficult for me to i speculate on what the decision will be at 10am but we have always been

that police statement following that arrest for manslaughter. it was proper right of the rovers stuff for cole palmer. a few minutes after leaving the pitch here he got after leaving the pitch here he got a message to say he had been called up a message to say he had been called up to the england squad ahead of their game on friday against malta. a great moment for him and his family in what has been quite the

week. i got the message after the match, probably around — near enough straight away, actually, after the match. but my phone was, like, going crazy because i've got some city fans that are mates and family and all that. so then i read it. and then, like, i read it again so it was — it was confirmed. so, yeah, then ijust rang my dad straight away because it was a proud moment for me and my family when i got the text. extremely proud, i'm sure. it will be a huge week for the whole of wales, as well. they will qualify for next summer's european championship if they win both of their remaining qualifying matches. armenia this weekend and turkey next week. they certainly have momentum after an impressive win over croatia last time out. coming off that win, i think you have to be confident. and, you know, we're in a place where it's in our hands at the end of the day. to get to a massive competition like that, it's what you want to do,

and that's where we want to get to as a country. and, yeah, we're very confident, we believe in what we do and hopefully, we can go out there saturday and get thejob done. what a few days ahead. long touted as one of the greatest managers in women's football, emma hayes will become the highest—paid women's football coach in the world, when she takes charge of the united states women's team at the end of the season. she'd been expected to take up the role after announcing she will be leaving chelsea. hayes said her feelings for the us team "run deep" and she'd dreamed of coaching the side for a long time. jo currie reports. leader, trailblazer and above all, a winner. it will be chelsea's name in history. emma hayes is the most successful female coach in this country — with chelsea, she's won everything there is to win domestically. she has led chelsea to the fa cup. and now she's taking on the biggestjob in the world — becoming head coach of the usa. i mean, she's a massive figure, you know, legendary coach in terms of what she's achieved.

and i think she can drive standards just from the aura and the presence that she has, and the respect level she has from so many players and coaches — within england, but also further afield and abroad, as well — itjust shows us kind of the iconic status that she has. hayes' reign at chelsea is unrivalled, winning 13 trophies in 11 years — including the treble in 2021, the year she guided them to the champions league final. she will need to bring plenty of that winning magic to her new role. the usa has always been the dominant force in women's football — four—time world and olympic champions. but after being knocked out of this summer's world cup in the round of 16, they're in need of a rebuild — and at a time when scrutiny has never been higher. the rise of the european teams has changed the dynamic around the national teams in women's football. and i think that — you know, people keep talking about the us

are getting caught up, they're getting caught up — they've now been caught up and probably overtaken. so i think the challenge for them is to get back to, you know, that number one spot. hayes is writing her own exit from chelsea — she'll leave at the end of this season in may. it'll then be a quick turnaround to lead the us to this summer's olympic games in paris. jo currie, bbc news. a big challenge ahead. the second episode of rob burrow�*s new podcast has gone live this morning on bbc sounds. the legendary leeds rhinos star talks to sports stars about their careers, challenges and successes. his latest guest is the former england rugby union player and world cup winner jonny wilkinson. burrow teased wilkinson about losing his england points scoring record to owen farrell. how does it feel to no longer be the best? oh, that's hard, isn't it?! oh, that's harsh, isn't it?! the old me would go — -

they are accompanied by medics and arabic speakers. the bbc hasn't verified that claim but we do have it from a source of our bbc correspondent in gaza, rushdi abualouf. , . , abualouf. israel says it is targeting _ abualouf. israel says it is targeting that _ abualouf. israel says it is targeting that hospital. abualouf. israel says it is - targeting that hospital because it believes it is the centre for hamas, which is designated a terrorist organisation by the uk and by governments around the world. in turn, hamas has issued a statement in the last half hour or so, calling this raid by israel of the hospital a war crime, but we have heard from a war crime, but we have heard from a uk minister disputing that here on breakfast in the last few minutes. carol has the weather. it is a mixed bag. it carol has the weather. it is a mixed ba. _ . ., , , carol has the weather. it is a mixed ban. . . , , ., , bag. it certainly is. one of my friends jess — bag. it certainly is. one of my friends jess yesterday - bag. it certainly is. one of my l friends jess yesterday described bag. it certainly is. one of my - friends jess yesterday described it friendsjess yesterday described it as revolting. maybe not quite that far. good morning. this morning it is mixed fortunes because if you are

in the south today will be bright and breezy. a few showers just now, they will ease, but if you are further north it is cloudy and damp. low pressure is pushing into the north sea but we still have an active end of this weather front. this weather front is weakening and we have this transient ridge of high pressure building in which will kill off the showers as we go the afternoon. we have seen quite a bit of rain across parts of eastern scotland, coming in across the south—west, northern ireland and into north—west england. also some showers across wales south—west england. through the day, you will find this band of rain syncs a bit further south so it will brighten up across the north of scotland. the rain coming in across northern ireland, south—west scotland and northern england will fragment but they will still be some cloud around, you might see one or two brighter breaks to the east of the pennines, and the showers will fade across england and wales further south, leaving us with a dry afternoon with some sunshine.

wherever you are it will be blustery. later in the afternoon the winds will ease. temperatures eight to 14 winds will ease. temperatures eight to iii degrees. then the next system is waiting in the winds. another area of low pressure which is coming our way through the evening and overnight. bringing in thickening cloud, some rain and strengthening winds. strengthening winds in the south—west. there will also be a few remnants of the weather front bringing showers across eastern scotland and north—east england, and under clear skies, especially across the highlands and parts of northern england and northern ireland, it will be a cold night with some frost. temperatures could fall away to —5 in sheltered glens. here with light winds there will be mist and fog patches warming which will be quite slow to clear tomorrow and that will suppress the temperatures here tomorrow, as well. if we pick up here tomorrow, as well. if we pick up the rain across southern areas it will push eastward through the day. it will be windy with local gales across the english channel and the channel islands, and then the next system comes in from the west. again

introducing some rain. the driest conditions tomorrow will be across scotland but wherever you are it is going to feel cooler than it is today. as we head on from thursday into friday, eventually our weather front crosses to the east and clears. we have a weak front coming to the west which will produce a few showers but we also have high pressure trying to build it. that rain clears early doors in the morning, a lot of dry weather, quite a bit of sunshine around. one or two showers here and there in the west and the cloud thickens up, the rain comes in and the wind will start to strengthen from the west. as we head on into the weekend, things changed. a new area of low pressure comes in and you can see the yellow is coming in. that is indicating that we are looking at some higher temperatures. but with the low pressure comes a clutch of fronts, some rain, and you can tell from those isobars that it will be windy. this weekend the summary is wet and windy with local

it's wednesday, the 15th november. the israeli army says it's carrying out a military operation against hamas in gaza's largest hospital, al—shifa. it describes it as precise and targeted action at the site in the north of the territory. both israel and the us claim that hamas has a command base under al—shifa — which hamas denies. an eyewitness inside the hospital told the bbc they saw israeli tanks and soldiers enter the building. israeli forces are going room to room questioning people. they are in complete control. there is no shooting taking place. the bbc has not yet been able to verify the claims. our gaza correspondent rushdi abualouf sent us this update a little earlier. today the bbc was told by two

eyewitnesses inside there are israeli soldiers storming five buildings of the hospital. one of the witnesses just told the bbc, "i saw six tanks and about 100 israeli commanders units entering the main department emergency room, and they were shouting in arabic, don't move, don't move! " our correspondent mark lowen is in southern israel. mark, what can you tell us? we have just had another opt out from a journalist in sight as shifa hospital, who says that the israeli soldiers have been using loudspeakers to demand that all men between the ages of 16 and a0 leave all the buildings except for the surgical and emergency departments. he adds that the israeli soldiers have been firing into the air to force those people out of the buildings. and that they have installed scanners, that of the

people should be passing through. that is the same journalist who told us that the israeli military are now in full control of al—shifa. a reminder that it is a medical complex that sprawls around 22 acres in size. it is the largest hospital in size. it is the largest hospital in gaza. and the israeli military are in complete control. overnight at the americans issued their fullest corroboration of the israeli claims that al—shifa has been used by hamas to conceal a command centre, with the white house spokesman saying that american intelligence packs those claims. they believe that underneath al—shifa it has been a command centre, weapons storage and an area to hold hostages. now, underthe geneva convention hospitals are protected spaces. but if one warring side or is using a medicalfacility as a military facility, or a military site against the other, thenit military site against the other, then it loses its protected status. and it becomes a war crime. that

gives you a sense of how murky this is. and how both sides in this conflict are now being accused of war crimes, according to the united nations. thank you very much indeed. the very latest from southern israel, including the statement from hamas, designated a terrorist organisation by the uk government. now let's catch up with the rest of this morning's news withjon. some big economic news. the latest uk inflation figures are out, telling us how much prices are rising by. inflation has fallen to a.6 percent — that's the lowest level for two years. what does it mean for you and your money? ben can tell us more. good morning. this inflation figure tells us how much prices went up an average in october compared to a year ago. average in october compared to a yearago. for goods average in october compared to a year ago. for goods and services will typically spend our money on. in october, inflation was at a.6%.

that means if you spend £100 on a range of things in october last year, that same shopping basket would cost you, on average, £10a 60 p. that is this october. an average some things went up in price more sharply like groceries. others went up sharply like groceries. others went up by less, like furniture. some things have fallen in price compared to a year ago, including gas, electricity, petroland to a year ago, including gas, electricity, petrol and diesel. to a year ago, including gas, electricity, petroland diesel. but the overall rate of price rises in october was lower than it was in september when it was 6.7%. it has come down a lot since the start of the year when it was over 10%. back then the prime minister pledged to halve inflation to below 5.a% by the end of the year. so, that target has been paid. a couple of reasons behind inflation slowing. first, a falling energy prices. the lower

energy price cap came in last month. costs have come down significantly since last year. they are still higher than two years ago. a fall in some food prices from one month to the next. that also helped bring down average price rises. but despite some groceries falling month on month, food and drink prices are still generally higher than they were a year ago. slower price rises overall will relieve some of the pressure on households. but make no mistake, it does not mean the cost of living crisis has gone away. in january the of living crisis has gone away. injanuary the prime minister said his number— injanuary the prime minister said his number one place was to have mike _ his number one place was to have mike inflation. people at the time said it _ mike inflation. people at the time said it would happen automatically. we know _ said it would happen automatically. we know that that wasn't the case. we know that that wasn't the case. we took— we know that that wasn't the case. we took some difficult decision to control— we took some difficult decision to control borrowing and debt and we have now — control borrowing and debt and we have now delivered that pledge a whole _ have now delivered that pledge a whole month early. there is lots more _ whole month early. there is lots more work— whole month early. there is lots more work to do. we still have to bring _ more work to do. we still have to bring inflation down to its target

level_ bring inflation down to its target level of— bring inflation down to its target level of 2%. but now we are beginning to win the battle against inflation. _ beginning to win the battle against inflation, we can move to the next part of— inflation, we can move to the next part of our— inflation, we can move to the next part of our economic plan, which is the long—term growth of the british economy _ the long—term growth of the british economy. that is why next week will be an— economy. that is why next week will be an autumn statement for growth. the chancellor referring to the bank of england target to keep inflation at 2%. that is seen as a healthy rate for the economy. the current figure remaining above that. that is why the bank of england has been putting up interest rates, to try to bring inflation down. we are seeing the effect of the latest interest rate. if borrowing is more expensive, it deters people in business from spending. a drop in the ban tends to lead to price rises slowing, as we have seen, or in some cases, eventually, prices may eventually full. thank you. all eyes on the supreme court this morning. it will remove on whether

the cry or it will rule on whether the cry or it will rule on whether the government plan to send some asylum seekers to rwanda is lawful. the policy was blocked by the appeal court earlier this year. but the government is appealing against that decision. it is all part of rishi sunak pass plan to stop small boats crossing the channel. live to the supreme court and dominic casciani. what are we looking for this morning? well, my granny always used to say to me that betting was a mugs game. i think the decision here today sums that up. nobody can really guess in an informed way what the supreme court will decide. but it has been a £1a0 court will decide. but it has been a £iao million gamble for the government to get to this stage because that is how much this scheme has cost so far in its attempt to send some people who have come across the english channel from france, to rwanda. the critical question in this case out for the supreme court is not of the politics of whether or not the government has a plan to stop the boats, but

whether or not there has been a correct legal test over the question of safety in rwanda. in december of last year, the high court, two judges there, ruled the home secretary had been rational in deciding she had all the deals and insurances in place from the government in kigali that anyone sent to rwanda would be fairly treated, and therefore, their human rights would be protected. the court of appeal reversed that, saying there had to be more searching examination of the evidence, including critical questions from the united nations refugee agency, which said that rwanda could potentially send people back to the countries from which they fled. that is really at the heart of this. which way it goes, we don't know. if the government wins, you could see flights possibly by the end of the year. if the government loses, the policy is basically in tatters. dominic, thank you very much indeed for now. there will be full coverage

of that decision on the bbc news channel and on the bbc news website and app as well. one of the key architects of the rwanda scheme was suella braverman. she was sacked as home secretary on monday. yesterday she sent that explosive letter criticising rishi sunak. let's go live to westminster and speak to henry. the prime minister is having quite the week, isn't he? he henry. the prime minister is having quite the week, isn't he?— quite the week, isn't he? he really is. these quite the week, isn't he? he really is- these big _ quite the week, isn't he? he really is. these big political _ quite the week, isn't he? he really is. these big political days - quite the week, isn't he? he really is. these big political days seem . quite the week, isn't he? he really| is. these big political days seem to becoming like london buses in threes. on monday, the return of cameron. yesterday, this excoriating letterfrom cameron. yesterday, this excoriating letter from suella cameron. yesterday, this excoriating letterfrom suella braverman. and today, a ruling on what was actually a big theme of suella braverman's letter to the man she called bass just a couple of days ago. she said he had not taken firm enough action on small bolts. she seemed to think the government was basically proceeding on the basis of wishful thinking, that the supreme court

would rule in rishi sunak 's failure. suella braverman whose army? today might help us to settle that question. the leadership issue, the question of whether suella braverman and other right—wing conservative mps might try to oppose rishi sunak going forwards, think that really intersects with what the supreme court will do today. whatever the supreme court rules, whether it is a good ruling for the government or an adverse ruling, conservative mps will be watching very closely for high rishi sunak responds, and also for herjames cleverly, suella braverman's successor as home secretary, response. if he doesn't take firm enough action, as a conservative mps on the right of the party perceive it, that i think we will see more language like that in suella braverman's letter. thank you very much indeed for now. hundreds of people have spent the night away from home after a tower block in bristol was evacuated following the discovery of major structural faults. following the discovery of major structuralfaults. the following the discovery of major structural faults. the council there says there is no immediate risk to

see we have got some rain in scotland, which through the day will sink southwards. it will brighten up in the north. the brighter skies today will be, as you come for the south. one or two showers in south—west england and wales. they will fade. forthe south—west england and wales. they will fade. for the rest of southern england into east anglia, the midlands, it is drier and brighter. we have got a weak weather front and then into scotland, rain. more sunshine in the north. winds lighter in the north. a blustery day in the south. and then later on, the cloud will start to build in the south—west. that is heralding the arrival of another area of low pressure. that brings some wet and windy weather. temperatures today eight to about a0 degrees north to south. as we had on through the evening and overnight, watch how the cloud continues to build from the south—west. the rain arrives on the win strengthens. we have the remnants of today's front producing showers across parts of eastern scotland and not eating them. under

clear skies for parts of scotland, parts of northern ireland, part of northern ireland, it is going to be cold. we are looking at a frost. there will also be mist and fog which will be slow to clear as we go through tomorrow. thank you. 17 minutes past eight. a bbc investigation has found a booming black market in the sale of weight loss injection kits, despite warnings from health officials. these versions, commonly purchased online and via social media, contain an active ingredient used in some diabetes medications, which are illegal to sell without prescription. aoife walsh reports. i was extremely ill. i was retching, and there was nothing left any more. all my stomach acids had been thrown up. blood, white foam — horrendous. maddie ended up in a&e after taking a knock—off weight loss drug she bought online.

the diabetes drug ozempic, which has semaglutide as its active ingredient, made headlines last year for being hollywood's secret weight loss drug causing demand to spiral. i wanted to lose weight quickly, and my friend recommended this instagram account where she got these weight loss injections from. so that's where the lip king came in. right, guys, so this is your mixing video for your semaglutide. this is your actual supplements. this is what you're going to be mixing. i've never, ever had sickness quite like it in my life. the nausea, even when the vomiting stopped after i'd been given the drip and the anti—sickness, it continued for another seven to eight days after. this — i mean, it's quite shocking, to be honest, that maddie has no idea what she's taking. even if it is semaglutide, we don't know what the dose of that is. as pharmacies across the uk

struggled to keep these medicines on the shelves, an illicit black market selling knock—off versions of the drugs began to flourish. so, after speaking to maddie about her experience, i wanted to see for myselfjust how easy it is to find these weight loss medications online. it wasn't difficult. and we bought several samples to be tested in a lab. under uk law, you need a prescription to get this medicine. the sale of this drug, without going through a proper online pharmacy, would not be legal. you have to be licensed with the mhra, and if you're not registered with them, then you're not complying with the regulations. the licensed drugs are in ready mix pens, whereas the knock—off versions come as a powder in a vial that people have to measure out themselves. just draw up the liquids like that. and there's two mil in total. medics have warned of the potential risks of people accidentally taking too much, especially if they are following

incorrect instructions, which is what happened to maddie. then here you can see i've got, "hey, babe. followed the chart dosage. week one, ten units, week two, 20..." you want to do 20 units your first week, your second week you want to do 30 units. so clearly there's a mix up, because the video is saying to start at 20 and the whatsapp here says to start at ten. but of course, it's completely the wrong advice. and these medications need to be prescribed by healthcare professionals. unlicensed medicines aren't subject to the same strict quality controls as licensed drugs. our lab tests found the products we bought online were inconsistent. so in terms of the amount of semaglutide in each vial, what did you find? so we found that out of six vials, three of them - had less than expected, _ and one didn't have any whatsoever.

so does that mean that the buyer is not always sure what they're getting? correct. it looks from the analysis that they will be getting i just water and salts. the results showed that the lip king sample contained a lower than advertised amount of semaglutide. the uk's drug regulator, the mhra, said... "purchasing from illegal suppliers means there are no safeguards to ensure products meet our quality and safety standards. and taking such medicines may put your health at risk." phone rings we've sent our allegations tojordan parke, aka the lip king, multiple times. we're going to try and contact him once more. well, that's really disappointing. i really wanted to hear the lip king side of the story. we've put our allegations to him multiple times in multiple different ways, and

we've got no response. right, good luck, guys — happy weight loss! i don't know, after watching this video, why i thought it was a good idea to inject this. there's clearly many alarm bells. despite warnings from health officials, this booming black market will continue to thrive, putting the public at risk until proper action is taken. aoife walsh, bbc news. gp dr nighat arifjoins us now. morning. they is a drug that should be available on prescription only. how is it getting prescribed? how does it work? it how is it getting prescribed? how does it work?— how is it getting prescribed? how does it work? it works in different wa s. as does it work? it works in different ways- as we _ does it work? it works in different ways. as we saw _ does it work? it works in different ways. as we saw from _ does it work? it works in different ways. as we saw from that - does it work? it works in different ways. as we saw from that of - does it work? it works in different ways. as we saw from that of a i does it work? it works in different i ways. as we saw from that of a day, people are getting it off licence from other providers and they are getting it off—line as well, where actually you can put in some information and it doesn't necessarily mean there is a medical professional on the other side prescribing, particularly if it is

privately done. these medications, and social media i know it comes up my tiktok feed. it is a quick fix for some people. unfortunately, weight or obesity are such an emotive conversation, so when you have those insecurities it is very easy to buy into that and think, this is going to be the bit that is going to help me lose weight or get me ready for a wedding, or make sure that i am on the track to weight loss. it actually, as we saw from that, there are serious consequences we need to consider. == that, there are serious consequences we need to consider.— we need to consider. -- but actually- — we need to consider. -- but actually. this _ we need to consider. -- but actually. this is _ we need to consider. -- but actually. this is a _ we need to consider. -- but actually. this is a drug - we need to consider. -- but actually. this is a drug that l we need to consider. -- but. actually. this is a drug that you can't even give out as a gp, it has to be from a weight loss clinic? semi—low tide, which is the brand tied ——... there is ozempic as well. we have had ozempic for around a while. it is not prescribed by gps. anybody watching today, please don't

call your gp for these jab macro. it is prescribed by third tier weight loss services. we have been giving these medications are tied to the out diabetes. how does this medication more? essentially, it is a casa medication. it has glp—i receptors. it basically mimics the hormone glp—i, which is released in our god, especially when we eat. it works in two ways. it lowers your blood sugars by increasing insulin. perfect for type two diabetics who are overweight. it allows them to reduce their weight. also, what it does is, when you eat, it gives you the sensation you are full. it works on these receptors within the brain. essentially it decreases calorie intake if taken in the right way. but even the manufacturers and fee data and the research show that it is not a single bullet. —— silver bullet. emotional well—being has to

be looked at, your relationship with food, as well as physical exercise. these medications can'tjust be going to the gp and you will get it. but we have, the nhs, a lot of my patients have been given a shared care protocol, where i share it with the specialist, we prescribe it and we give them ozempic because they are type two diabetic. with all of that in mind, can you understand why people do look online and try to get it in other ways? filth. and try to get it in other ways? oh, absolutely- — and try to get it in other ways? oh, absolutely- i— and try to get it in other ways? (1)! absolutely. i think and try to get it in other ways? (31, absolutely. i think that and try to get it in other ways? 1i absolutely. i think that obesity and try to get it in other ways? oi, absolutely. i think that obesity is absolutely. i think that obesity is a chronic disease which is multifactorial. there are genetic factors. there are lifestyle factors. there are lifestyle factors. nutrition. there is a cost of living crisis, which means that gaining exercise and good nutrition is a privilege. everybody doesn't have that. these are the quick fixes people think they can have. obviously they think that if they have this for a short period of time and buy them online and actually through private means, and if it is unregulated as well, you are putting yourself at risk. it is always best to discuss other past medical

history might have with your gp because they are not cheap either. we have to think about the fact — i mean, if you are looking at ozempic, there are four rejections, they go subcutaneously into the stomach, and they're roughly between 70 to £80 for one month subscription. that is quite a lot of money that we are thinking about and talking about. and it means that also, if you are, say, a relatively healthy weight, because your body mass index on the nhs, the guidelines are that if you are 30 and above that you have type two diabetes, heart disease, if you are 27.5 from black and asian ethnic minorities, you should be thinking about having this medication from a specialist weight leg service. —— loss service. there are side effects. we have to monitor that. mostly they are constipation, bloating, nausea, fatigue, headaches. but at lower doses they can be tolerated by some patients. what we do is we start slow and

increase. it can be quite good. but it is a tool that we have without forgetting the fact that it's a multifactorial way of managing weight loss. we multifactorial way of managing weight loss-— weight loss. we have to leave without. thank _ weight loss. we have to leave without. thank you _ weight loss. we have to leave without. thank you for - weight loss. we have to leave | without. thank you for coming weight loss. we have to leave i without. thank you for coming in weight loss. we have to leave - without. thank you for coming in and expand on that. lovely to see you. you can see more on that in a new bbc 3 documentary, the skinny jab uncovered, on the iplayer now. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. let's find out what they have in store. coming up, it's been revealed this morning that almost one in ten brits are being driven into poverty by the price of transport. bbc�*s cost of living correspondent, colletta smith, tells us how to save cash when you're on the move. a new report suggests transport is the biggest spend for- households in rural areas and it's second only to housing costs- for people who live in cities. i'll tell you if you're entitled| to a railcard and why renting a car could actually— save you over £3,000 a year. also, with shorter winter days, around two million people in the uk are living with seasonal affective disorder. dr rupy's explaining why talking about how you feel can combat the blues and he's cooking up green pasta packed

more in the way of patchy cloud, and there's a little bit of a breeze out there today with highs of around ii or 12 degrees. as we go through this evening and into the overnight period, it will be dry and clear for a time. but as we go through into the early hours, we're going to start to see that cloud thickening and, by the end of the night, we're going to start to see some rain moving in, as well. so it could be quite a wet start to the day for many of us on thursday, and some of that rain could be quite heavy. tonight will be a chillier night with lows of around four or five degrees. so thursday will start on a wet note, like i say, and that rain will probably continue for most of us as we go through the course of thursday — it could be heavy at times. at the moment, friday looks as though we're going to see more in the way of dry weather returning, but by this weekend, it is set to turn unsettled once again. it's going to be blustery with spells of rain around, but turning milder. nowjust before we go — it's children in need week all this week, and we are looking at the youngsters in london who benefit from your donations. and for children in the royal london hospital, the london symphony

orchestra regularly visits to offer music sessions. they deliver mini bedside concerts for children and families coping with life—limiting and life—threatening illnesses. it can calm, it can soothe, but it can distract. you know, someone mightjust be having a really uncomfortable day and they're just, you know, feeling rotten and it can just distract them and take them away from it. what and take them away from it. a lovely charity. that's it from me — much more on our website, the bbc news app and on bbc radio london, where there will be regular bulletins across the morning. i'll be back in half an hour with the latest for london. good morning. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. let's return to our main story now, and the israeli army says it's carrying out a military operation against hamas in gaza's largest hospital, al—shifa. it describes it as "precise

and targeted" action at the site in the north of the territory. both israel and the us claim that hamas has a base under al—shifa, which hamas denies. hamas are designated as a terrorist organisation by the uk government. earlier today an eyewitness inside the hospital has told the bbc they've seen israeli forces going room to room, floor by floor questioning people and that they're in "complete control". they added there is no shooting taking place. the bbc has not yet been able to verify the claims. we can speak now tojuliette touma from the united nations agency for palestinian refugees. joining us now from oman. thank you forjoining us. have you managed to get information out of the hospital from your people in gaza? irate

what they've been up to. we're back again with children in need for a diy sos special, and the team at radio two are lending us a helping hand once more. good afternoon, leicester! oh, it's so good to be back for radio two in the park. we're in risley in the east midlands, up the road from radio two in the park, and we're here to help put up a brand—new building for an amazing charity. children in need—supported charity treetops helps bereaved families and their children through the devastating time of losing a loved one. you're allowed to do whatever you want. head of therapeutic services and counsellor isjules. they're going through probably one of the worst things that's ever going to happen to a young person — losing a parent, a sibling or somebody very close to them so early in life is...is devastating. so this building will give them exactly what they need to start their healing process.

you can watch the diy sos children in need special tomorrow at 9pm on bbc one. sounds like it will be really special. another lovely film for you now. she is best known for her role as the domineering and long—suffering sybil fawlty in the hit bbc comedy fawlty towers. he is one of the greatest stage actors of his generation. now, after 60 years of marriage, timothy west and prunella scales — who was diagnosed with dementia nearly ten years ago — have been lifting the lid on their enduring love story. our entertainment correspondent

colin paterson went to meet them. 60 years of showbiz marriage. how long? 60 years. 60 years? it hasn't really been hard work, has it? no! he's a person i...i love, i enjoy being with. um... that's about it, i think. prunella scales is best known as sybil in fawlty towers. basil...there's a kipper sticking out of yourjacket. timothy west is regarded as one of the best stage actors of his generation. what means your graces? good my friends, consider, you are my guests. but for the last 20 years — meaning for almost a third of their marriage — prunella scales has had vascular dementia. it was in 2001 when her husband first spotted that something was not right.

i came to see a play that pru was doing in greenwich. i went to see the first night and it was fine, it was good...good. much enjoyed by the audience. and then... i went to see it again a bit later on and i thought... pru's. . .a bit strange. she's not...not totally with it. it was more than a decade later that the diagnosis for dementia came. yes, it was, yes. yes, it was. we went to see a specialist who just said, "i'm sorry," you know, "this isjust something that happens to you when you get older and... it's not going to get any easier, but you can cope with it." we manage. # hello, hannah. # well, hello, hannah. # it's so nice to have you back where you belong. timothy west decided that the year of their diamond wedding anniversary

was the perfect time to write pru and me — a love story which doesn't shy away from talking about dementia, but understandably mainly focuses on the fun. pru, what made you first fall in love with tim? what made me fall in love with tim? what made me fall in love with him? um... did you? chuckling. i don't know — well, we were working together. and i like being with him. you know? we were doing a job, weren't we? we were doing a terrible play, yes. yeah, a terrible play. we used to keep... keep...talking to each other through letter—writing. he writes lovely letters. marvellous letters. we both...loved writing to each other. sometimes two or three times a day. three times a day? you're putting the rest of us to shame, guys!

how do you feel your relationship has changed over the years? i don't think it's changed at all. no, no. do you? i've got to know him better and better and better. i know that things are going to change a little bit, but it's been a long time and we've managed pretty well, really. i don't think we ever think, "oh, no, come on..." no, i don't — not ever. i've been asked to live for the rest of my life with somebody i respect very much and i quite admire, and agree with about a lot of things, and argue with about a lot of things very — quite, quite happily, you know? one of the wonderful things is you've got each other�*s work to look at. yes, yes. that's absolutely true, yes. yeah. how do you feel when you watch

pru in fawlty towers? do you really imagine, even in your wildest dreams, that a girl like this could possibly be interested in an ageing brilliantined stick insect like you? laughter. oh, yes, well, i enjoy it because... because it's good. it's good. and she's.... i get a few notes! yes, yes — sometimes, yes. that's fair enough, yeah. one really unexpected hit was the great canaljourneys. first thing you can see as you come round the bend... right. ..is that rather extraordinary tower. yes. we didn't start out thinking it was going to be an especially exciting performance for people to watch. we just said, you know, this is something we do, and why not make some of it available to people who would like to use the canals themselves?

but on the whole, it's been tremendously enjoyable to do because we're actually quite good at it. yes, after all these years, it is clear that this is a love story undiminished by dementia. how does it feel to have been married 60 years? how does it feel to you? well, i... i don't know. what am i supposed to say? thank you. well, thank you. thank you and thank you... thank you. thank you for seeing me for so long. well, we've done all right. colin paterson, bbc news. that has made my morning. they obviously adore each other. it's gorgeous. obviously adore each other. it's gorgeous-— obviously adore each other. it's ”oreous. . ~' ., ., gorgeous. thank you to them for shafinu gorgeous. thank you to them for sharing our— gorgeous. thank you to them for sharing our story _ gorgeous. thank you to them for sharing our story and _ gorgeous. thank you to them for sharing our story and happy - sharing our story and happy anniversary, 60 years. from classical carols
