and for villa after four decades away, a night to savour in switzerland. the beginning of the end for working from home? online giant amazon demands staff return to the office full time. # you look so wonderful in that dress, i love your hair like that. any requests? we'll be chatting to the runner who was serenaded by ed sheeran while she was out for a jog. a little bit cloudier for some of you but sunshine developing and if anything a bit warmer than yesterday. all of the details here on breakfast. good morning. it's wednesday the 18th september. britain, the united states and the un have called for restraint, after electronic pagers, used by members of the armed group hezbollah,
6:01 am
simultaneously exploded across lebanon in what appeared to be a sophisticated remote attack. hezbollah, which has been designated a terrorist organisation by the uk, israel and other western countries, has called it the biggest security breach. at least nine people died and nearly 3000 were injured. blasts were reported in supermarkets, homes and on the streets of the country, which shares borders with israel and syria. lebanon's health ministry says 200 people are in a critical condition and that hospitals are being inundated with the wounded. 0ur correspondent graham satchell reports. it was an audacious, unprecedented attack. all across lebanon, thousands of pagers exploding at the same time. many were on the street. some, like here, in people's homes. some in supermarkets.
6:02 am
emergency services struggled to cope with the scale of the attack. thousands of hezbollah members suffering injuries in the same instant. israel hasn't commented, but few have any doubts about its role. so how was israel able to target hezbollah in this way? hezbollah started using pagers and old technology after it realised its mobile phones were being monitored. the theory is israel knew hezbollah had ordered thousands of new pagers and intercepted the shipment. assuming that this was more thanjust making lithium batteries, you know, override and overheat, that they had planted small amounts of explosives in each one of these pagers, then this was unquestionably a calculated attack. 0n the border between israel and lebanon there have been constant exchanges of fire since the war in gaza began. yesterday's attack will pile more pressure into a region that is already volatile and precarious.
6:03 am
one of the scenarios, that this is just the beginning to disrupt hezbollah�*s communication network, a beginning of a much larger military operation in lebanon where when hezbollah cannot communicate with each other, the israelis will have a better chance at winning or expanding their operations in lebanon. funerals are already taking place in lebanon, and with them warnings. we hold the israeli enemy responsible for all of the victims, for all of the martyrs, for all of the wounded. and we believe that the reprisal is coming. hezbollah is now an organisation with thousands of injured fighters ina in a statement, the foreign office said...
6:04 am
there is now considerable international concern at what may come next. graham satchell, bbc news. we will get the latest from the release this morning and ask what it means for the entire region. at first ball of the news today with nina. new rules are coming into force today designed to ensure that communities will have access to cash and basic banking, after thousands of branches were closed in recent years. the change has prompted the announcement of 15 new, shared banking hubs. 0ur reporter will vernon has more. and although some people say that money grows on trees, the safest place for it is in the bank. britain's banks once stood at the very heart of the economy and society. but now banking is changing. more customers are going online, more businesses are going cashless and banks are closing branches. according to the consumer group, which, over 6000 have been closed in the last nine years. that's 60% of the entire
6:05 am
bank branch network. campaigners say closures particularly affect vulnerable groups such as the elderly. but the new government has promised to improve access. new rules come into force today, meaning that local communities must be provided with basic services such as atms. it means that if a bank and a building society wants to make changes to its locations of its branches or locations of its cash machines, before it makes any of those changes, it needs to have assessed whether it can continue to meet those local communities�* needs. and it's hoped this could be the solution. banking hubs. they're shared spaces run by the post office, but operated by the major banks, where people can pay in cash and cheques and make withdrawals and also speak to their bank staff. and britain's banks have now agreed to open 350 more of these in the next five years. all the vulnerable people will have access to cash, and they'll be able to go to a local
6:06 am
banking hub and have access. i think we're looking at the vulnerable people, which is elderly, who do not have access to the internet or the apps to get access and know what they're doing. so they come into the banking hub and they can have access to cash. but there's been criticism of the range of services offered across different banks, and the lack of printers to print out documents. the government has reportedly ordered banking bosses to make improvements, but customers in this branch say it's a vital part of the community. a lot of people, they need to use it because there is even not cash points. this is the only one. and there is one next to my shop, but it's not working most of the time. my banking is very, very basic and if i have any problem, i'm here. with these ladies here, that's all what i need.
6:07 am
across britain's towns and cities, closures of things like pubs and chemists are also on the rise. it's hoped that schemes such as banking hubs could help reenergise the high street. will vernon, bbc news. the hip—hop star sean diddy combs will be back in court later today. his lawyers will apply for bail while he awaits trial on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. 0ur north america correspondent peter bowes reports. sean diddy combs, one of the world's best known and most influential hip hop producers. a global superstar who's now facing a possible life sentence if found guilty on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. in court, wearing a black t—shirt and grey tracksuit bottoms, he denied all the charges, but thejudge refused him bail after prosecutors argued he was a danger to society and a flight risk. 0utside court, the rapper's sons turned up to support their father.
6:08 am
his lawyer said they offered $50 million in bail to get him out ofjail before the trial starts, but the judge said no. he's going to fight this to the end. he's innocent. he came to new york to establish his innocence. he's not afraid, he's not afraid of the charges. sean combs is accused of using his power and fame to attract women under the pretence of romantic relationships, but to later force them into sexual activity. the charges follow a raid by heavily armed agents on the musician's properties in miami and los angeles in march. they're similar in nature to claims made last year by his former partner, the r&b singer cassie ventura, who accused him of rape and physical abuse. he denied it, but a day later the pair settled the case without disclosing any details. then there was this. cctv footage emerged in march showing sean combs chasing and assaulting cassie in a los angeles hotel in 2016. prosecutors said charges couldn't be
6:09 am
filed because of the amount of time that had passed. my behaviour on that video is inexcusable. i take full responsibility for my actions in that video. he cultivated a bad boy image, but real life is a far cry from the red carpet. and sean combs�* lawyers say they're preparing for a long battle ahead. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. emergency workers in hungary and slovakia are racing to create flood defences in low—lying settlements, as water levels continue to rise due to heavy rain across central and eastern europe. tens of thousands of homes in poland and czechia are still without electricity and fresh water following the extreme weather and flooding brought by storm boris. at least 21 people have been killed. at least seven people, including three firefighters, have died as wildfires continue to rage across portugal.
6:10 am
parts of the country have been ablaze since the weekend, with temperatures in some areas topping 30 celsius. the eu has said it would send eight firefighting planes to help portugal tackle the fires. families harmed by failings in maternity care at nottingham university hospitals say they are still waiting for proper accountability, two years after the senior midwife donna 0ckenden began a review of almost 2,000 cases. this morning the trust will launch a new service to support those affected. nicola sturgeon has predicted that scotland will become independent as part of a wider shake—up of uk governance. speaking on the ten year anniversary of the independence referendum, the former snp leader said she believed a yes victory was "within grasp" on the eve of the vote. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordon has more. cheering. it was a question that divided a nation.
6:11 am
the stakes were high. emotions were too. just shut up! when the vote came back, the result was this. the majority of valid votes cast yesterday in response to the referendum question, should scotland be an independent country, were in favour of "no". there was elation for some, devastation for others. the yes campaign called it a once in a generation opportunity. but brexit, which scots rejected, meant there were soon calls for another vote. the uk government repeatedly said no. perhaps one of the things that gives me greatest heart is the lengths the westminster establishment is going to, to prevent scotland ever getting the chance to make that decision again, because i suspect they know that when that decision does fall to be made again, scotland will vote yes. one of those who argued for the union believes nicola sturgeon might have got a second referendum
6:12 am
on independence after brexit, but that she got her tactics wrong. if she'd played a slightly longer game, and if she'd said, "brexit is so big and it's such a big challenge that i'm going to put party politics to one side for a moment, i'm going to try and work with the uk government, we need to salvage what we can from this." and then maybe six months down the line said, "you know what? i can't work with these people. scotland has another opportunity, it has a different choice," i think things could have been materially different. a decade on, there appears no clear path to another referendum. but scots remain divided on the constitution. scotland's future is far from settled. lorna gordon, bbc news. the princess of wales has carried out her first work meeting since the end of her cancer treatment. the meeting was related to the princess's work on families and early childhood and, as our senior royal correspondent daniela relph reports, is another step in her recovery. this time has, above all,
6:13 am
reminded william and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life. the princess's return to public life is being carefully managed. last week's release of the intimate family video narrated by the princess, a sign that things were beginning to feel more positive. i am, however, looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when i can. the princess's first work meeting was held at windsor castle yesterday afternoon. few details have been released, but it was related to her families and early childhood project. early years has been a focus of much of the princess's public work in recent years, but kensington palace say she won't be returning to full time royal duties for now, and instead plan a light schedule for her. 0n the balcony for trooping the colour injune, one ofjust two official engagements
6:14 am
for the princess in the past nine months. she has described this year as incredibly tough for her and her family. it's hoped she mayjoin the royal family again for engagements around remembrance sunday and in the run—up to christmas. daniela ralph, bbc news. imagine this. you're heading out for a run after work, trying to decide whether to listen to music or a podcast, and instead, end up getting serenaded by one of the biggest pop stars in the world. i can't ican't imagine i can't imagine that, to be honest! me neither! hello. any requests? can you do tenerife sea? yeah. # you look so wonderful in that dress. # i love your hair like that. # the way it falls on the side of your neck. nikki atkins, who's a teacher,

6:16 am
moon. a glorious and clear night. it's a case of sunshine which might take awhile this morning but it will develop for most parts across the uk today and once again it will feel warm, for some of you, the warmest day of the week. this morning it is a good deal warmer across southern areas compared with yesterday, up to around 13 degrees in some spots because the cloud has rolled in, coolest in northern ireland and northern england, with fog patches across scotland at the north of england as well. they will clear, lots of sunshine in the north. cloud in east wales in central and eastern england will breaks up in the afternoon, one or two patches remaining around the coast but most will have a sunny afternoon. bit more of a breeze for england and wales through today, that has fed the cloud in so cooler along the north sea coasts but up to 2a in
6:17 am
london, warmest across northern scotland, 2&25. no cloud develop —— the luke clout develops again tonight, rolling in from the north coast, but staying clear in some areas. a cooler start tomorrow but we then do it all over again, morning cloud breaking up, probably more stubborn across eastern coastal counties and the north of scotland. temperatures tomorrow highest in the south—east, maybe 26 degrees, 23 to the west of scotland. thank you, we will be talking about the lunar eclipse later on. the retailer amazon is demanding that all its corporate staff return to the office full time from january in a move to reverse the post pandemic culture of working from home at least for some of the week. ben is looking at this for us. ben, this move comes as rules
6:18 am
are tightened in this country to give people the option of flexible working. some people thought things would never go back to how it was before the pandemic. some companies are requiring people to work at least some of the week back in the office. it's quite a big step for a company to require people to be in the office every day. let me explain the details of what we know. amazon is one of the world's largest companies and working from home has been a source of tension. the chief executive of the retail giant andy jassy has told staff that from january everyone would have to be in the office every working day like they were before the pandemic. they will only be able to work from home in exceptional circumstances such as a sick child or home emergency. he says it's to allow staff to collaborate and connect better. but the move away from hybrid working completely, ?goes against the grain. in the uk flexible working is now very common,
6:19 am
with nearly half of all workers spending at least some days each week working from home. since april the law allows someone to request flexible working from the very first day in a newjob although an employer does not have to grant it. and the new labour government's flagship employment rights bill will go further proposing to make flexible working the default for workers when they start a job. the business secretary jonathan reynolds said this week that being able to work from home makes staff more productive and loyal. but the issue of working from home is the cause of a long—running dispute at the office for national statistics, a public body. 1,000 union members have been refusing to return to the office for two days a week as instructed since may. so not everyone agrees on the benefits of working on the benefits of working from home. so where it will go, i think the resistance
6:20 am
and the divisiveness will be maintained. and i think there will be a lot of legislation that arises from it, quite honestly, and litigation, because i think it's so divisive and it's been so differently approached by different businesses over the course of the last three years that there is a real hot pot and mixture of peeling out there. and, you know, ithink it would be a litigation piece, and a caselaw driven subject matter for some time. we'd like to hearfrom you on this. does being able to work from home help you? are you more productive there? or do you prefer being in the office with colleagues? does the flexibility of working from home play a part in which jobs you'd apply for? let us know in the usual ways. as ever, give us your name and where you are getting in touch from so we can give you a mention. important to remember that this does not apply to everyone, somejobs you remember that this does not apply to everyone, some jobs you just cannot do from home like work in a shop or people who have got to do face—to—face work. for some people itjust face—to—face work. for some people it just doesn't face—to—face work. for some people itjust doesn't present itself as an option. we

6:24 am
there's three holes, each dedicated to a cause close to dave's heart. the nature hole. the boccia hole celebrating the paralympic sport. and the pudsey hole, which sarah was a dab hand at. i like crazy golf cos i like playing. it's a good game and it's fun and it's healthy because it's more exercise for me. it's getting me out from the house. it was quite fun. i got all the... in the hole and i loved the day, thank you. so we're all going to have a go. dave's told local charities those in need will always be able to use the golf course. what's really nice is this is we can come back again and we'll be able to have more events here and we'll be able to get more involved. and so the more that we come, the more the guys
6:25 am
will get more skills. so they'll be more independent and they'll feel more confident. you've got to move it out from the fence. that's it, take it from there. so how did dave feel to see his dream become a reality? simply fantastic. i try not to get too emotional. absolutely, much better than i'd even imagined. it's been a couple of weeks of busy times, but it's superb, chris, it's absolutely fantastic. in this leatherhead garden, there's a whole lot to feel good about. yes! chris slegg, bbc news. brilliant. that is a win-win, on the lotte . brilliant. that is a win-win, on the lottery- isn't _ brilliant. that is a win-win, on the lottery- isn't it _ brilliant. that is a win-win, on the lottery. isn't itjust, _ brilliant. that is a win-win, on the lottery. isn't itjust, what- brilliant. that is a win-win, on the lottery. isn't itjust, what a - lottery. isn't it 'ust, what a lovely man. _ time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'mjim wheble. the mistaken arrest of an actor in west london is being investigated by the metropolitan police.

6:28 am
so far this week — there's been a lot of dry weather around, with good spells of sunshine. high pressure continues to dominate. a bit of early cloud to deal with, but once that clears there'll be plenty of sunshine on the way over the coming days. so this morning it's a mild start to the day. here's that early cloud that's eventually going to clear to allow for plenty of sunshine through the rest of the day. those winds will pick up, so it is going to be feeling breezier, and we're looking at top temperatures in that sunshine up to around 2a degrees. so this evening and overnight it stays dry — the best of the clear spells at first, but by the end of the night, we'll start to get quite a bit of cloud pulling in again, and temperatures will fall away to around 13 to 1a degrees, which sets us up for another mild start on thursday morning. thursday, quite a dull start to the day, there'll be quite a bit of cloud first thing, but once that clears there'll be plenty of sunshine through the rest of the day, with highs of around 25 degrees. that's it — lots more on our website, though, including plans to courier blood samples between hospitals using drones.
6:29 am
i'll be back in half an hour but for now back to nina and jon. hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. thank with nina warhurst and jon kay. you forjoining us. a wildlife charity is declaring a national "butterfly emergency" after its annual count recorded the lowest numbers in its 1a—year history. butterfly conservation says this summer's wet weather is partly to blame, but long—term trends are also causing concern. 0ur environment correspondent jonah fisher is at a butterfly farm in stratford—upon—avon this morning. peeking through the undergrowth. where is he? laughter good morning. welcome to the tropical— good morning. welcome to the tropical rainforest of stratford—upon—avon. this is the butterfly— stratford—upon—avon. this is the butterfly farm in the centre of

6:31 am
a third of butterfly species had their worst year on record, including the common blue — which was not seen in some places at all. and while the wet weather's partly to blame, scientists say the long—term trend towards fewer butterflies is a sign that nature's in trouble. declines in butterflies means declines in pretty much everything. and, ok, this year might be particularly bad because of the weather, but over the long term, even when the weather is good, these species aren't able to do as well as they might be able to because we've not got the habitat available for them. butterflies have been hit by a host of pressures, including climate change, habitat loss, and the use of pesticides. butterfly conservation is calling for a total ban of pesticides known to harm butterflies and bees. neonicotinoids were banned in the uk several years ago, but exceptions have been made for emergency use on crops. and while the government says it intends to change this policy, it has not yet given a timescale.
6:32 am

6:37 am
the last victory in champions league and winning the trophy. we want to dedicate this victory for gary shaw, his family, and for all the supporters of aston villa. for liverpool, a slower start. they fell behind to ac milan in arne slot�*s first match in europe as coach, but his team would rise to it. konate! ibrahima konate and then virgil van dijk — the two centre backs with goals to set liverpool on course. a 3—1win meant, for both premier league clubs, this first night was emphatic. the same could be said for bayern munich and harry kane. kane... they're back in control now. he scored four goals as his team won 9—2. it made him england's top scorer in this competition. and at the bernabeu, another superstar arrived. the european champions have found ways to still improve. a special moment for a special player.
6:38 am
kylian mbappe for real madrid, and his first goal for them in europe. stuttgart blown away. the champions league is up and running. joe lynskey, bbc news. those four hurricane goals will not be lost on villa supporters. —— four harry kane goals. now, we saw the longest penalty shoot—out in league cup history last night. 3a penalties were taken as preston knocked out premier league oponents fulham, coming through 16—15. so many penalties were taken, even the goalkeepers had a go. and the goals didn't stop there. manchester united scored seven against barnsley. marcus rashford with two against a side two leagues below them. rashford hitting some form after some patchy spells last season. everton were on the end of another defeat. after a 1—1 draw, southampton goalkeeper alex mccarthy was the hero, saving ashley young's penalty in a game between the two premier league sides yet to pick up
6:39 am
a point this season. you can find all of last night's league cup results plus tonight's fixtures on the bbc sport website. good luck reading the match reports of preston's win. someone else who battled hard in a marathon contest — emma raducanu, who beat payton stearns at the korea 0pen. she won in straight sets but both went to tie—breaks and they were on court for over two and a half hours. this was raducanu's first match since herfirst—round exit in the us 0pen but she is into the second round. and confirmation has come — the commonwealth games are returning to glasgow in two years' time, 12 years after it last hosted the event. the scottish goverment has given its backing to the city to stage it, having stepped in after the australian state of victoria pulled out due to rising costs, but australian authorities have promised a "multi—million—pound investment". the infrastructure is already there but these games will look very different, with just ten core sports, and many believe this pared—down version could be the only viable way forward for the commonwealth games.
6:40 am
that is the big question. will this protect the games for the future, a scaled—down version, or are you losing, i guess, with some of those sports not part of it? are you losing what the commonwealth games is all about? i guess we will find out. ~ , .,, is all about? i guess we will find out. ~ , , ., , ., out. we will put those questions to hannah miley _ out. we will put those questions to hannah miley and _ out. we will put those questions to hannah miley and laura _ out. we will put those questions to hannah miley and laura kenny - out. we will put those questions to | hannah miley and laura kenny later on. if you are up during the night you might have had a bit of a treat. if you gaze at the night sky, we had a supermoon, harvest moon and a partial lunar eclipse all rolled into one. here's the footage we caught of it overnight in salford. it was the second of four supermoons this year — where the moon appears to be bigger and brighter. it was a clear night for most in the uk, so hoping you got to see it if you'd set an alarm.

and temperatures will fall away to around 13 to 14 degrees, which sets us up for another mild start on thursday morning. thursday, quite a dull start to the day, there'll be quite a bit of cloud first thing, but once that clears there'll be plenty of sunshine through the rest of the day, with highs of around 25 degrees. that's it, lots more on our website though including plans to courier blood samples between hospitals using drones, i'll be back in half an hour but for now back to nina and jon good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. 0ur headlines today. hezbollah blames israel after electronic pagers used by members of the armed group explode simultaneously across lebanon, killing nine people and injuring thousands. new powers to make sure communities have access

7:02 am
across lebanon in what appeared to be a sophisticated remote attack. hezbollah, which has been designated a terrorist organisation by the uk, israel and other western countries, has called it the biggest security breach. at least nine people died and nearly 3000 were injured. blasts were reported in supermarkets, homes and on the streets of the country, which shares borders with israel and syria. lebanon's health ministry says 200 people are in a critical condition and that hospitals are being inundated with the wounded. 0ur correspondent graham satchell reports. it was an audacious, unprecedented attack. all across lebanon, thousands of pagers exploding at the same time. many were on the street. some, like here, in people's homes. some in supermarkets.
7:03 am
emergency services struggled to cope with the scale of the attack. thousands of hezbollah members suffering injuries in the same instant. israel hasn't commented, but few have any doubts about its role. so how was israel able to target hezbollah in this way? hezbollah started using pagers and old technology after it realised its mobile phones were being monitored. the theory is israel knew hezbollah had ordered thousands of new pagers and intercepted the shipment. assuming that this was more thanjust making lithium batteries, you know, override and overheat, that they had planted small amounts of explosives in each one of these pagers, then this was unquestionably a calculated attack. 0n the border between israel and lebanon there have been constant exchanges of fire since the war in gaza began. yesterday's attack will pile more pressure into a region that is
7:04 am
already volatile and precarious. one of the scenarios, that this is just the beginning to disrupt hezbollah's communication network, a beginning of a much larger military operation in lebanon where when hezbollah cannot communicate with each other, the israelis will have a better chance at winning or expanding their operations in lebanon. funerals are already taking place in lebanon, and with them warnings. we hold the israeli enemy responsible for all of the victims, for all of the martyrs, for all of the wounded. and we believe that the reprisal is coming. in a statement, the foreign office said... there is now considerable
7:05 am
international concern at what may come next. graham satchell, bbc news. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knelljoins us now from jerusalem. already a very tense time across the middle east, yolande, how could these events yesterday change things? these events yesterday change thins? ., , , ., , ., ., things? certainly tensions are now ratcheted up even _ things? certainly tensions are now ratcheted up even further - things? certainly tensions are nowj ratcheted up even further between israel and its long—time adversary has smaller in lebanon. hezbollah is firmly pointing the finger of blame at israel for the widescale attack although the israeli prime ministers office and military declining to comment on what happened. what is not clear yet is if this is just another very dramatic development in the long—running shadow war between israel and iran the long—running shadow war between israeland iran in the long—running shadow war between israel and iran in its regional proxies including hezbollah, or
7:06 am
whether this could be another step towards a full—scale war between israel and has boller. in recent days we have had israel threatening to step up its military action so it couldn't get thousands of its own citizens who live in the north of the country able to return to their homes, they have been displaced by the months of fighting that have gone on in parallel to the war in gaza with daily exchanges of fire across the israel lebanon border. there is an interesting report that has come through in the new york times, which the bbc cannot verify, quoting unnamed us officials saying israel was behind this attack but its operatives were able to put small amounts of explosives inside these pager devices and it seems that according to reports, they were activated by a message that appeared
7:07 am
to come from hezbollah's leadership which is why so many people have been wounded in their eyes and hands as they reached for their pagers. thank you for that update. the rest of the news with nina, including some important developers or consumers on the high street. new rules are coming into force today designed to ensure that communities will have access to cash and basic banking, after thousands of branches were closed in recent years. the change has prompted the announcement of 15 new shared banking hubs. 0ur reporter will vernon has more. and although some people say that money grows on trees, the safest place for it is in the bank. britain's banks once stood at the very heart of the economy and society. but now banking is changing. more customers are going online, more businesses are going cashless and banks are closing branches. according to the consumer group, which, over 6000 have been closed in the last nine years.
7:08 am
that's 60% of the entire bank branch network. campaigners say closures particularly affect vulnerable groups such as the elderly. but the new government has promised to improve access. new rules come into force today, meaning that local communities must be provided with basic services such as atms. it means that if a bank and a building society wants to make changes to its locations of its branches or locations of its cash machines, before it makes any of those changes, it needs to have assessed whether it can continue to meet those local communities' needs. and it's hoped this could be the solution. banking hubs. they're shared spaces run by the post office, but operated by the major banks, where people can pay in cash and cheques and make withdrawals and also speak to their bank staff. and britain's banks have now agreed to open 350 more of these in the next five years.
7:09 am
all the vulnerable people will have access to cash, and they'll be able to go to a local banking hub and have access. i think we're looking at the vulnerable people, which is elderly, who do not have access to the internet or the apps to get access and know what they're doing. so they come into the banking hub and they can have access to cash. but there's been criticism of the range of services offered across different banks, and the lack of printers to print out documents. the government has reportedly ordered banking bosses to make improvements, but customers in this branch say it's a vital part of the community. a lot of people, they need to use it because there is even not cash points. this is the only one. and there is one next to my shop, but it's not working most of the time. my banking is very, very basic and if i have any problem, i'm here. with these ladies here, that's all what i need.

across britain's towns and cities, closures of things like pubs and chemists are also on the rise. it's hoped that schemes such as banking hubs could help reenergise the high street. will vernon, bbc news. in the last few minutes the latest inflation figures have just been released, telling us how fast prices are rising. ben has been looking at the numbers. they tell us how much prices have gone up, on average, for goods and services compared with a year ago. it shows that in august inflation was at 2.2%, the same as it was in july. it is an average though some things will have gone up more sharply, such as airfares, while otherfares, such as petrol. across the board, prices are still rising but nowhere near the rate they are rising a couple of years ago partly
7:11 am
because the bank of england raised the cost of borrowing by putting up interest rates, which reduces demand which slows down the rate of price rises. the bank's target is to get inflation down to 2%. that was achieved injune, which led the bank to cut interest rates last month by a quarter of a percentage point down to 5%. it is now slightly above 2%, inflation, which means the bank might not be in a hurry to further cut interest rates. that's important because that affect the cost of our mortgages, loans and other borrowing. the next interest rate decision is tomorrow. the bank will be looking into these inflation figures as they weigh up what to do next. ., ., figures as they weigh up what to do next. ., ,, , ., figures as they weigh up what to do next. ., ~' ,, �* emergency workers in hungary and slovakia are racing to create flood defences in low—lying settlements, as water levels continue to rise due to heavy rain across central and eastern europe. tens of thousands of homes

to attract women under the pretence of romantic relationships, but to later force them into sexual activity. the charges follow a raid by heavily armed agents on the musician's properties in miami and los angeles in march. they're similar in nature to claims made last year by his former partner, the r&b singer cassie ventura, who accused him of rape and physical abuse. he denied it, but a day later the pair settled the case without disclosing any details. then there was this. cctv footage emerged in march showing sean combs chasing and assaulting cassie in a los angeles hotel in 2016. prosecutors said charges couldn't be filed because of the amount of time that had passed. my behaviour on that video is inexcusable. i take full responsibility for my actions in that video. he cultivated a bad boy image, but real life is a far cry from the red carpet. and sean combs' lawyers say they're

in the face of spiralling costs and competition from cheaper products. tupperware had a slight boost during the pandemic, as more people cooked at home, but it was short—lived. shares fell by 50% this week as rumours swirled that the business had finally gone stale. you can't beat a good bit of tupperware, or more general plastic containers, because of the cheaper ones that you might get from the takeaway just don't last as ones that you might get from the takeawayjust don't last as long. have you ever been to a tupperware party? j have you ever been to a tupperware ya ? ., have you ever been to a tupperware -a ? ., ., , have you ever been to a tupperware ya ? ., ., , ., have you ever been to a tupperware -a ? ., ., , ., ., have you ever been to a tupperware party?— you i party? i would really love to. you should host _ party? i would really love to. you should host one, _ party? i would really love to. you should host one, save _ party? i would really love to. you should host one, save them! i party? i would really love to. you i should host one, save them! some stunning pictures from overnight with matt, good morning. yes, it was not only a super moon last night but a partial lunar eclipse, lots of photos coming in. this was in the west of scotland. i didn't get to see it, too much cloud, and if you did stay asleep, this is what it looked like. even though it was only a% of the moon

cast in the shadow of the earth, it was an impressive sight nonetheless. some of you didn't see it because of the cloud and that cloud this morning will break up, lots of sunshine developing once again today. stepping outside in the short—term, not to chilly, certainly a lot warmer across the south than it was this time yesterday. southern scotland, northern england and northern ireland are in single figures. a few mist and fog patches here will be gone by mid morning and then blue skies for the rest of the day, right in the north of scotland. cloud in east wales and central and eastern england will melt into the afternoon, one or two spot on eastern coast could stay cloudy into the end of the day but more of a breeze across england and wales keep things cool on the north sea coast. highest temperatures in northern scotland, 25 degrees. tonight tolocal develops across eastern areas and roles its way west across

7:19 am
but we've got to stay safe, and that means bringing some serious security. out in the dry scrub that covers much of the country, the climate challenge is clear. singing. climate change is disrupting the patterns of rain that have kept water holes like this full. somalia recently experienced its worst drought for 40 years — an event scientists estimate was made 100 times more likely by human—caused climate change. it has left farmers and herders fighting for access to water and to pasture. translation: there is no respect if you don't have a gun. the herders who lead their animals into the farm stay back when they see my weapon — they get scared of you. for the last 30 years, somalia has been experiencing a brutal islamist insurgency,
7:20 am
a civil war, and a whole series of regional and clan conflicts. it means these local disputes easily spiral into full—blown battles. and somalia doesn't just face drought. we have come way down to the south of somalia. this place, kismayo, is a port town. it has been bitterly fought over. at one stage, islamist militants from the lethal al-qaeda affiliate al—shabaab overran the place. al—shabaab forces still surround the town. the front line is just 60km away. it means the town is like an island, cut off from the rest of the country, but not from the weather. the year after the drought, somalia was hit with terrible floods — caused by rains made twice
7:21 am
as intense by human—caused global warming. the floods killed hundreds, and displaced a million people. the most vulnerable bear the brunt. the un has developed a special classification for different degrees of hunger. it says four million somalis — one in five — of the population, face either acute or emergency food insecurity. it says 1.5 million children under the age of five are acutely malnourished. this humanitarian crisis means there's no shortage of people willing to fight. the impacts of climate change and conflict have driven around four million somalis into vast, makeshift refugee camps. there's little international help. residents here pay rent, and for their food and water. it is why halima's husband and four of her five sons have taken up
7:22 am
the only opportunities open to them as fighters in a local militia. translation: they are rural people with no skills, so the only work they could get was in the army. they were desperate. and when you are without food long enough, and your children are looking at you, you will do anything. now, the people of somalia cannot be held responsible for climate change. i'vejust been doing the numbers on my phone, and the entire country has emitted as much carbon dioxide since the 1950s as americans have in — wait for it — the last three days. but somalia is taking action — this power station is moving over to wind and solar power — and training up a new generation of renewable energy engineers. i found entrepreneurs setting up new businesses, including this makeshift cafe
7:23 am
in the refugee camp. i don't subscribe to the notion that somalia is unfixable. i think it's fixable, and it's showing significant progress on pretty much every front that you can look into. so there is hope. but with climate change turbo—charging the conflict in somalia, the country will need continued international help in the effort to find peace, and to build resilience against our changing climate. justin rowlatt, bbc news, somalia. good to end on a note of optimism but a very complex picture. you can see more on this story in a documentary called 'somalia: from crisis to renewal�* which is available to watch on bbc iplayer now. glasgow is set to host the 2026 commonwealth games, after the australian state of victoria withdrew because of rising costs.

7:28 am

of other sports and younger athletes, watching their sporting heroes compete, being somewhere successful that they can come and watch, that can stir the next generation coming through and that makes a massive difference. hopefully this model can showcase the cost not being as taxing as previously and hopefully we can encourage other nations to step forward following this model that is going to go ahead. x�*t�*ou forward following this model that is going to go ahead-— going to go ahead. you could have ste ed going to go ahead. you could have stepped forward — going to go ahead. you could have stepped forward and _ going to go ahead. you could have stepped forward and beware i going to go ahead. you could have - stepped forward and beware volunteer this time, hannah! i stepped forward and beware volunteer this time, hannah!— this time, hannah! i would love to do that! we _ this time, hannah! i would love to do that! we will _ this time, hannah! i would love to do that! we will catch _ this time, hannah! i would love to do that! we will catch up - this time, hannah! i would love to do that! we will catch up with - this time, hannah! i would love to do that! we will catch up with you | do that! we will catch up with you then. it do that! we will catch up with you then- it will— do that! we will catch up with you then. it will be _ do that! we will catch up with you then. it will be a _ do that! we will catch up with you then. it will be a very _ do that! we will catch up with you then. it will be a very warm - do that! we will catch up with you i then. it will be a very warm welcome in glasgow. — then. it will be a very warm welcome in glasgow, fantastic _ then. it will be a very warm welcome in glasgow, fantastic city, _ then. it will be a very warm welcome in glasgow, fantastic city, one - then. it will be a very warm welcome in glasgow, fantastic city, one of - in glasgow, fantastic city, one of my favourites. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'mjim wheble. the mistaken arrest of an actor in west london is being investigated by the metropolitan police. reece richards was returning home to fulham on lith september after performing in the musical hairspray, when he says he witnessed a car crash and two

to fund what are called "community banking hubs" — where customers can get cash or pay bills. so far, 81 hubs are open. the labour government made a manifesto promise to have 350 of these hubs operating in five years' time, including 230 by the end of this year. here's what hub—users in london think about the services on offer. most of our customers, sometimes they don't have cash, sometimes they do have cash. so when they don't have cash, they come to get it from here. my banking is very, very basic... she laughs. ..and if i have any problem, i'm here. so, therefore, i'm so grateful for everybody who contribute to the fact that this banking hub is here. it's fantastic. it's very handy. it's a... it's a — you know... most of the bank is closed in the high street. -
7:35 am
it's only this one, really, is open, and it gives a good service. - and from today, new rules are being introduced meaning banks and building societies must review any changes they make to their services to assess whether they're leaving local communities with limited access to cash. we'rejoined now by sam richardson, the deputy editor of which? money. good morning to you. what will these new rules me of a customer is? good morninu. new rules me of a customer is? good morning- it — new rules me of a customer is? good morning- it is — new rules me of a customer is? good morning. it is really _ new rules me of a customer is? (2an morning. it is really important to consumers. what it means is that if a bank closes the branch and it is the last branch in the community you will not have that community left without any sort of banking services. potentially for years in some cases, especially rural areas, when people have to drive many miles to go elsewhere. now banks have to line up ultimate provisions, such as
7:36 am
banking hubs, post offices, atms before they close at last branch. it also means that consumer groups in the local area can say there is not enough cash provision here, ask link to review it and get those up alternate facilities like hubs in the community it. just alternate facilities like hubs in the community it.— alternate facilities like hubs in the community it. just explain why the community it. just explain why the excess cash _ the community it. just explain why the excess cash is _ the community it. just explain why the excess cash is so _ the community it. just explain why the excess cash is so important, . the excess cash is so important, there are certain parts of the demographic that need access. fix, lat demographic that need access. a lot of us are going _ demographic that need access. a lot of us are going online _ demographic that need access. lot of us are going online and it is wonderfully convenient but the financial conduct authority estimates that 3 million people still rely on cash. that says that more elderly people struggle to use online facilities, and disabled people who cannot use of facilities. also low income people, people find cash easier to budget with especially given the cost—of—living crisis. ! especially given the cost-of-living crisis. , , , crisis. i suppose it will be good

7:41 am
we want to dedicate this victory for gary shaw, his family, and for all the supporters of aston villa. liverpool manager arne slot got a nice birthday present on his big day — a win over ac milan. he'll be relieved after they conceded inside three minutes, they turned it around through captain virgil van dijk who scored that header to put them ahead before half time. and then hopefully he found tiem to celebrate. and then hopefully he found time to celebrate. normally you celebrate your birthday with your friends and your family, but this was a real good alternative — to play your first champions league game in a special, um, against a special club for liverpool, but also a special club for dutch people in a nice venue. and then to win it the way we did — after going 1—0 down after five minutes — with the result of nottingham forest still in our hat, i think it was, um... it was very good to see how they took the game in their hands.
7:42 am
meanwhile, harry kane hit another landmark, breaking the record for the most goals scored by an english player in the history of the european cup. it's 33 goals and counting after grabbing four in bayern munich's 9—2 win over dinamo zagreb. and for the first time, highlights of the champions league will be shown on the bbc tonight as part of the licence fee. it's a reminder of the costs facing football fans who want to watch live football at home this season. a subscription to tnt sports, who have the rights to show the bulk of european matches, is required for watching champions league games at home midweek, but that will set you back over £30 a month. they don't have all the games, though — a subscription to amazon prime, who've got the rights to 17 champions league matches, is required to watch the lot — at a further cost of 8.99 a month. and it doesn't end there. if you want to watch premier league and scottish premiership matches, sky sports have the bulk of those —
7:43 am
at a cost of £26 a month, £22 for those who've already got a sky tv package. all in all that's £66 a month — around £800 a year — on top of your licence fee just to watch live football on tv. it doesn't come cheap and, on top of everything else, soon adds up. as well as knowing whether or not you have the subscriptions you then have to work out which provider is showing them actually want to watch. it is like having a part—timejob, working it out. it is like having a part-time 'ob, working it outi it is like having a part-time 'ob, workini it out. ., ., ., , ., working it out. you have to sit down at the start — working it out. you have to sit down at the start of _ working it out. you have to sit down at the start of the _ working it out. you have to sit down at the start of the weekend - working it out. you have to sit down at the start of the weekend plot - at the start of the weekend plot through it. at the start of the weekend plot throuih it. .,, at the start of the weekend plot through it— at the start of the weekend plot throuihit. . , through it. people make sacrifices in other areas _ through it. people make sacrifices in other areas to _ through it. people make sacrifices in other areas to find _ through it. people make sacrifices in other areas to find the - through it. people make sacrifices in other areas to find the money l through it. people make sacrifices. in other areas to find the money for the football subscription. if in other areas to find the money for the football subscription.— the football subscription. if you are looking _ the football subscription. if you are looking to _ the football subscription. if you are looking to make _ the football subscription. if you are looking to make savings, i the football subscription. if you are looking to make savings, isj the football subscription. if you i are looking to make savings, is it possibly one of the first thing that goes? thank you. last night was a treat for stargazers with a supermoon and partial eclipse, and you've been sending

8:01 am
once again. the full forecast here on breakfast. good morning. it's wednesday the 18th of september. britain, the united states and the un have called for restraint after electronic pagers used by members of the armed group hezbollah exploded simultaneously across lebanon, in what appeared to be a sophisticated remote attack. hezbollah, which has been designated a terrorist organisation by the uk, israel and other western countries, has called it the biggest security breach. at least nine people died and nearly 3000 were injured. blasts were reported in supermarkets, homes and on the streets of the country, which shares borders with israel and syria. lebanon's health ministry says 200 people are in a critical condition and that hospitals are being inundated with the wounded. our correspondent graham satchell reports. it was an audacious, unprecedented attack. all across lebanon, thousands of pagers exploding at the same time.

there is now considerable international concern at what may come next. graham satchell, bbc news. the united nations says this attack marks an "extremely concerning escalation" in tensions. our middle east correspondent, yolande knell, is injerusalem. certainly tensions are now ratcheted up even further between israel and its long—time adversary hezbollah in lebanon. hezbollah is firmly pointing the finger of blame at israel for the widescale attack although the israeli prime ministers office and military declining to comment on what happened. what is not clear yet is if this is just another very dramatic development in the long—running shadow war between israel and iran
8:05 am
and its regional proxies including hezbollah, or whether this could be another step towards a full—scale war between israel and hezbollah. in recent days we have had israel threatening to step up its military action so it couldn't get thousands of its own citizens who live action so it can get thousands of its own citizens who live in the north of the country able to return to their homes, they have been displaced by the months of fighting that have gone on in parallel to the war in gaza with daily exchanges of fire across the israel lebanon border. there is an interesting report that has come through in the new york times, which the bbc cannot verify, quoting unnamed us officials saying israel was behind this attack and its operatives were able to put small amounts of explosives inside these pager devices and it seems that according to reports,

outside court, the rapper's sons turned up to support their father. his lawyer said they offered $50 million in bail to get him out ofjail before the trial starts, but the judge said no. he's going to fight this to the end. he's innocent. he came to new york to establish his innocence. he's not afraid, he's not afraid of the charges. sean combs is accused of using his power and fame to attract women under the pretence of romantic relationships, but to later force them into sexual activity. the charges follow a raid by heavily armed agents on the musician's properties in miami and los angeles in march. they're similar in nature to claims made last year by his former partner, the r&b singer cassie ventura, who accused him of rape and physical abuse. he denied it, but a day later the pair settled the case without disclosing any details. then there was this.
8:09 am
cctv footage emerged in march showing sean combs chasing and assaulting cassie in a los angeles hotel in 2016. prosecutors said charges couldn't be filed because of the amount of time that had passed. my behaviour on that video is inexcusable. i take full responsibility for my actions in that video. he cultivated a bad boy image, but real life is a far cry from the red carpet. and sean combs' lawyers say they're preparing for a long battle ahead. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. police in poland say seven people have drowned in the country as floods continue to wreak havoc across central europe. storm boris has caused extensive damage across a huge area — including the czech republic, romania and austria. authorities in croatia, hungary and slovakia are also braced for more floods while italy has alerts in place for most of the country. at least seven people, including three firefighters, have died as wildfires continue

a national "butterfly emergency" after its annual count recorded the lowest numbers in its 1a—year history. butterfly conservation says this summer's wet weather is partly to blame, but long—term trends are also causing concern. our environment correspondent jonah fisher is at a butterfly farm in stratford—upon—avon this morning. so what have you spotted? we cannot quite spot you, jonah. i have spent the morning battling the elements in the deepest darkest tropical rainforest of stratford—upon—avon. i am tropical rainforest of stratford—upon—avon. lam in tropical rainforest of stratford—upon—avon. i am in a butterfly farm. it is warming up gradually this morning. there are tropical butterflies that living here. and if the truth be told, they don't fly around that much when it isn't that warm so as the temperatures rise, they are starting to fly as well. we have seen a few on the plants, you can see one here which is just waiting on the plants, you can see one here
8:19 am
which isjust waiting perhaps on the plants, you can see one here which is just waiting perhaps for that moment to take flight. the reason we have come here is not to talk about tropical butterflies, it's to talk about british butterflies. a survey carried out over the summer, the results of it have been released today. and sadly, it's not good news for british butterflies. over the summer, thousands of people went out to record the number and type of butterflies they saw during a 15—minute period. and the results confirmed what many have suspected — there seemed to be fewer insects this year. a third of butterfly species had their worst year on record, including the common blue — which was not seen in some places at all. and while the wet weather's partly to blame, scientists say the long—term trend towards fewer butterflies is a sign that nature's in trouble. declines in butterflies means declines in pretty much everything. and, ok, this year might be particularly bad because of the weather,
8:20 am
but over the long term, even when the weather is good, these species aren't able to do as well as they might be able to because we've not got the habitat available for them. butterflies have been hit by a host of pressures, including climate change, habitat loss, and the use of pesticides. butterfly conservation is calling for a total ban of pesticides known to harm butterflies and bees. neonicotinoids were banned in the uk several years ago, but exceptions have been made for emergency use on crops. and while the government says it intends to change this policy, it's not yet laid out a timeline for when that's going to happen. and to talk a little bit more about that survey, one of the people who helped carry it out, doctor richard fox, the head of science at butterfly conservation. richard, what did you find out?—
8:21 am
butterfly conservation. richard, what did you find out? well, in one sense it was _ what did you find out? well, in one sense it was good _ what did you find out? well, in one sense it was good news _ what did you find out? well, in one sense it was good news because i what did you find out? well, in one i sense it was good news because many people all across the uk took part in the big butterfly count this summer which was fantastic. really grateful for them gathering all this wonderful data. the bad news is that the butterflies, they fared really poorly this summer. on average people saw 40% fewer butterflies in this years counts compared to last year and a third of the species had their worst year on record. truth? year and a third of the species had their worst year on record.- their worst year on record. why is that? the immediate _ their worst year on record. why is that? the immediate difference l their worst year on record. why is . that? the immediate difference from last ear that? the immediate difference from last year will— that? the immediate difference from last year will be _ that? the immediate difference from last year will be done _ that? the immediate difference from last year will be done to _ that? the immediate difference from last year will be done to the - last year will be done to the weather, we had a very wet spring and a cool summer, and that hits butterfly populations, that isn't what they like. but the problem is that this latest dip is just the end of a very long historical decline of butterflies, that has been going on for at least 50 years. 80% of our butterflies are declining in the uk. why is that, why are we gradually losing our butterflies? fiddling why is that, why are we gradually losing our butterflies?— losing our butterflies? sadly it is back down to _ losing our butterflies? sadly it is back down to the _ losing our butterflies? sadly it is back down to the way _ losing our butterflies? sadly it is back down to the way that -

pounds on the lottery, he knew exactly what to do. he bought a house in surrey, with a garden big enough to build a mini golf course — then he invited the neighbours to come and play. here's our reporter chris slegg. a year ago, dave lawrence celebrating his lotteryjackpot. having spent his life working with disabled people, his priority was to buy a house with a garden big enough to put to community use. today, dave opened his garden crazy golf course. i'm just thrilled. this — this place, this house, what i'm able to do. not everyone's got a garden, you know. there's a lot of people without a garden at all. and to share it is wonderful. there's three holes, each dedicated to a cause close to dave's heart. the nature hole. the boccia hole — celebrating the paralympic sport. and the pudsey hole — which sarah was a dab hand at. i like crazy golf cos i like playing. it's a good game and it's fun and it's healthy because it's
8:46 am
more exercise for me. it's getting me out from the house. it was quite fun. i got all the... ..in the hole and i loved the day, thank you. so we're all going to have a go. dave's told local charities those in need will always be able to use the golf course. what's really nice is this is... we can come back again and we'll be able to have more events here and we'll be able to get more involved. and so the more that we come, the more the guys will get more skills. so they'll be more independent and they'll feel more confident. you've got to move it out from the fence. that's it, take it from there. so how did dave feel to see his dream become a reality? simply fantastic. i try not to get too emotional. absolutely, much better than i'd even imagined. it's been a couple of weeks of busy times, but it's superb, chris, it's absolutely fantastic.
