opponents have voiced concerns that vulnerable people could be coerced into ending their lives. our political correspondent, helen catt, reports. the noes to the left, 330. the last time mps voted on assisted dying was nearly ten years ago — they opposed changing the law. but a new set of mps will get a new vote in the coming months, after labour's kim leadbeater came top in a ballot that gives backbench mps time in the commons to propose laws, and said she would put it forward. i also think there is a real sense within parliament that now is the time for this debate. as i say, it's nearly ten years since there was last a debate in the chamber. so i think most people... you know, people are nervous, people know how serious this subject is, and i understand that — i feel nervous about it — but i also think it's important enough that we show parliament at its best, actually, which is debating something that we know matters to a huge amount of people. the broadcaster dame esther

rantzen has lung cancer. she reignited calls for a debate and vote on assisted dying, and got a promise from sir keir starmer that he'd support one happening. it's a tremendous thrill for me. i didn't expect to be alive when such a debate happened — i didn't expect to be around, i didn't think it would happen in time. if introduced, a new law would be likely to apply to people who've been told they have less than six months to live, and two doctors would have to approve it. but there are concerns. lam i am concerned about the impact on vulnerable — i am concerned about the impact on vulnerable people, aren't vulnerable and disabled people, coercive control— and disabled people, coercive control and the ability of doctors to make — control and the ability of doctors to make a — control and the ability of doctors to make a six—month diagnosis, but also the _ to make a six—month diagnosis, but also the time and capacity they have to make _ also the time and capacity they have to make sure it is someone's settled wish _ the vote in parliament

is likely to be a free one, which means it would be up to individual mps to choose whether or not to back it. the government has said it will stay neutral. last night the cabinet secretary, simon case, wrote to ministers. he told them they could stand by views they'd previously stated if they're asked about them directly, but they should exercise discretion, and should not take part in the public debate. it's not certain that mps will back a change in the law, but the conversation about assisted dying that's been growing outside the walls of westminster will now be decided inside them. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. later in the programme, we'll be speaking to dame esther rantzen�*s daughter, rebecca wilcox and to baroness tanni grey—thompson, who is against the proposals. that's just after 7:00. naga, you are going to bring us up—to—date with news of further missile strikes in the middle east. we are focusing on rising tensions

following israeli strikes on southern lebanon and the occupied west bank overnight. this large explosion was seen near beirut�*s international airport, which borders the suburb of dahieh — a hezbollah stronghold which has been a target for israeli attacks. more british nationals are expected to leave lebanon on chartered flights in the coming days. elsewhere, in the occupied west bank, the israeli military says it has killed a senior hamas figure, following a strike on a refugee camp in the city of tulkarm. palestinian health officials say at least 18 people have been killed. in the last few hours, us presidentjoe biden has said he believes an all—out war in the middle east can be avoided. leaders of all g7 countries released a joint statement last night outlining concerns over the deteriorating situation in the region. leaders of all g7 countries released a statement last night out outlining concerns.

let's get the latest from our middle east correspondent lina sinjab we have the strikes but also diplomacy working very hard, international diplomacy, to try to ease the tensions in the region and stop the huge escalation. weill. ease the tensions in the region and stop the huge escalation. well, yes indeed. it has _ stop the huge escalation. well, yes indeed. it has become _ stop the huge escalation. well, yes indeed. it has become a _ stop the huge escalation. well, yes indeed. it has become a recurrent l indeed. it has become a recurrent pattern that lebanese have sleepless nights and as the strikes continue through the night on different parts of ii on but mainly concentrated in hezbollah stronghold dahieh. this night was one of the biggest ones, very much close to the international airport, causing furtherfears very much close to the international airport, causing further fears and concerns that it could affect the traffic in and out of the airport while people are trying to flee. the international community, especially the us, as you say, they are trying to find a solution, a political solution, but unfortunately their

views on the ground here is that they have no faith in any efforts. the international community could do. they feel that prime minister netanyahu's government is determined to do whatever it wants with hezbollah and nobody is able to stop them. for hezbollah and nobody is able to stop them. ., ., ., ~ ,, the number of young people who leave care in england and then face homelessness has risen sharply. government data show the number of 18—to—20—year—old care—leavers struggling to find suitable accommodation rose by more than 50% over the last five years. uk car manufacturers will likely miss zero—emissions targets because demand for new diesel cars is growing faster than for their electric counterparts, despite government—backed green discounts. the society of motor manufactures and traders has written to the chancellor urging for support to encourage more people to switch to electric cars ahead of the budget this month. authorities in los angeles will look at new evidence in the case

the american country singer garth brooks has said an allegation that he raped a former female employee is an attempt at extortion. in a statement, he said he was not the man the complainant painted him to be. he's been accused of sexual assault and battery in a lawsuit filed in california. fewer pupils are starting private secondary school education this year, according to the body that represents most independent schools in the uk. the independent schools council says plans to add vat to private school fees are to blame — but experts point to other factors, such as a declining birth rate and the cost of living. our education reporter vanessa clarke has the details. yeah, this is building up pressure. it's a lesson in air pressure for the physics students here at this fee—paying grammar school in oldham. but the school says it is receiving calls from their parents feeling financial pressure. their bills are rising by 20% injanuary due to the vat changes,

and some students are already being taken out. ultimately, this is all about children, and i can't hide my frustration. i think that they and the impact on them is being overlooked in discussions around this policy, that at the end of the day, no matter where a child goes to school, children are children. and education is, i believe, too important to be used as a political football. the independent school council, which represents half of private schools, says the policy is already having an impact. some of their members have seen a 1.7% drop in children attending this year — rising to a 4.6% drop for new secondary—school starters. but education experts say the declining birth rate and the cost of living could also be reasons behind the fall. oh, well done. yes! ten—year—old harry could soon be added to the list of children leaving. in august, he passed his higher gcse paper with top marks. his parents moved him to a private school to help

support his academic abilities, but they are now on the hunt for a state—school place. we're not particularly massively paid. you know, i'm in the 40s — 40,000s a year, my wife's in the 30,000s a year — and we sacrifice so much. it's particularly — i feel sorry for my daughter because we can't do the things that we would have done previously because effectively we've been forced into this position. the government says the reasons for the changes to private schools is to help state schools like this. the promise includes funding for 6,500 new teachers in england — and here, they are definitely needed. specialist teachers in maths, science, and art and design are impossible for the school to find — resulting in some of their pe teachers switching to science, and fewer subject options for students. it's impacting students, it's impacting on the curriculum because i want to have a school where we have a really wide offer of subjects that students have a genuine interest and passion for.

you know, i have students that want to be the architects of the future — they want to specifically work within design. and although not doing it at gcse doesn't preclude them from that, it's obviously a nice stepping stone for them to have, and an experience and a foretaste of what further education within that area might look like. it's less than 100 days until the vat changes are brought into place. the government says it doesn't expect the policy to have a significant impact on the number of pupils attending private schools overall, but here they are waiting to see what the full implications of the changes will be. vanessa clark, bbc news. a cruise ship that has been stranded in northern ireland forfour months has finally set sail. the odyssey left belfast port on monday night, but only travelled a few miles because of concerns it might need to refuel. relieved passengers are now en route to france, on the first leg of their world tour. our ireland correspondent, chris page, sent this report. four months into its world tour,

the villa vie odyssey had covered about 15 miles. after 17 weeks in belfast harbour, it dropped anchor here in belfast lough. for two and a half days, its top speed was zero knots. but then the horn sounded. we were in our room and heard "mehhhhh, mehhhhh" and then the message came across — "we're leaving!" cheering. a christening ceremony confirmed it was time to cast off. we don't even know where we're going. we're trying to find a port, so...cool, right? we're finally going! as the horizon beckoned at last, on board there was an ocean of emotion. we really are moving! we're moving! back on the shore, people came to watch the now famous ship disappear from view across the irish sea. the sunset that i'm looking at now, and to have the warm weather all the time will be something we're

all looking forward to. so what was it like when you heard the engines starting up? it was very, very...a guarded happiness.

could fail because it hasn't been fitted properly — leaving some of the most vulnerable people living in damp and mouldy conditions. our correspondent zoe conway reports. i'm removing this mushroomy stuff that's grown on my mum's wall. lukman ashraf says mushrooms started growing after external wall insulation was fitted nearly two years ago. looks disgusting. we've got mould, as well. his mother, tormooja khatun, is 84 years old and recently had a stroke. but she liked to sort of live her last few years in this house. and to live in comfort. yeah. beneath the floorboards, growths of white dry—rot fungus are feeding off this house. external wall insulation involves fixing insulation boards to the outside brickwork of a house and applying render to make it waterproof. see, this is virtually flat. building surveyor david walter

is inspecting mrs khatun's house. what do you make of the quality of the workmanship? it's appalling. it's just obviously been done by people who don't understand the basic principles of weatherproofing a building. the sad thing is, i see it time and time again, up and down the country. back inside, the consequences are clear to see. this is a classic fruiting body of dry rot, and that's growing out from the mycelium. the family has been warned it could cost more than £100,000 to repair their home. it's not clear who will pick up the bill. more than three million uk homes have had insulation fitted under the government's energy efficiency schemes. the bbc revealed earlier this year that figures compiled by the regulator ofgem suggest that hundreds of thousands of homes could have insulation that wasn't installed to the required standard. the government's got to find out the depth of the problem

and we cannot see heartbreaking, horrific stories like mrs khatu's — you know, that is just shocking. you know, the tragedy is there's many more households that are impacted the same way. the company that insulated mrs khatun's house — saviour energy solutions — is registered with trustmark, which is responsible for ensuring the quality of work carried out under government green energy schemes. in a statement, trustmark ceo simon ayers said... under the disputes process, the family is supposed to let

saviour carry out the repairs, but they don't trust the company to do the work. saviour energy solutions said in a statement... she doesn't sleep anyway due to ill health, but this has added on top of this at all. she does worry a lot. the family fears what another winter will do to their home. zoe conway, bbc news, luton. let's have a look at today's papers. ahead of a potential commons

vote on assisted dying, the express carries an interview with dame esther rantzen — who tells the paper she hopes the measure will be legalised in her lifetime. and we'll be hearing from dame esther later on this morning, we will be speaking to her daughter. as well as tanni grey—thompson, who opposes the move. the metro reports on the trial of a doctor, who it says is suspected of disguising himself as a nurse to kill his stepfather and obtain his inheritance. thomas kwan admits injecting patrick o'hara with poison but denies attempted murder and the trial continues. the mirror leads with an interview with liz hatton, a teenager with a rare form of cancer who was invited to meet the princess of wales at windsor castle. it's a story we reported on yesterday — and later this morning we'll be speaking to liz and her mum. and the sun reports that

little rose is left in the cliff face. no, no, that is not happening, the community was not having that. so they got together and they were warned by the fire and rescue service not to attempt it because of the structural integrity but they were determined. they were feeding rose with a pipe to get food and water, funnelling it down this crevice to get to her. and then they had live footage of this broadcast. on their social media accounts. they did get her out and then when they get her out, and it took a while, something like eight days, i think, all the rescuers were invited for free drinks at the local pub and thenit free drinks at the local pub and then it was put... kyte newman said everyone comes together, you give what you get back. it was really lovely, rose is fine, she was taken to the vets but it was a story of

it's notjust the police who are taking the battle against dangerous driving very seriously — one man in birmingham is responsible for a lot of the clips that are being sent in. we aren't revealing tim's full identity because in the past he's been the victim of trolling, but he's a cyclist and part—time cycling instructor who always has his camera on, and nearly always sees drivers failing to take proper care. i came back off one bike ride. ijust said, "i've had enough. there's something we've got to do about it." and i had a camera that i used to use when i went off—road, and ijust decided to carry that, and then they introduced a portal at the police to report. when people like tim upload material, it comes here — to where a dedicated team of officers working on the appropriately named operation snap sift through it and decide what happens next. every day we come in, there's new submissions. member of the public goes on to the operation snap website,

uploads the footage, i then view it or my colleagues view it. any offence on the road, we will deal with it and we have some appalling driving — some serious offences committed on the roads. what's the worst you've seen? worst seen is overtaking on pedestrian crossings when there's people crossing. once there's been a u—turn on the, um, on the motorway, and... this kind of "citizen policing" is being welcomed — and more and more footage is being sent in. people are getting more aware of the poor standards of driving out there within the west midlands area, and people know there is a place they can report it to and the police will take action. and we are now six—zero miles per hour. ina a0. so, yeah, 60 in a posted 40. you can see you've got flowers on a lamp post there, which would suggest at some point it's gone wrong for someone here. the battle against dangerous driving is being fought in more traditional ways, too. that means more officers on patrol looking for serious criminals, and also stopping drivers who are doing what they shouldn't be.

within minutes ofjoining pc rich adams, we saw this. just spotted a driver in a white van with a mobile phone as he's driving, so we're pulling him over. hello, sir. how we doing, you're all right? can you just do me a favour? turn your engine off for me, please. he's apologetic. he knows he shouldn't be doing it. admitted to the offence. but it doesn't negate the fact that the offence has been committed. and back in north birmingham, tim is still going out on his bike with his camera. so how many films have you sent in? several hundred, i would think. and do you know how many of those have resulted in action taken against the driver? in the west midlands police, all of them. tim reckons that, as more drivers have become aware that they might be caught on camera, the roads have begun to get a little bit safer. in the meantime, there are more cameras, and so the number of videos sent to the police is still going up. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham.

coming up later on the programme... best friends hughie and freddie — who have raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity, open a new rooftop garden at the hospital where hughie received treatment for cancer. it is something they were really passionate about, making sure children who were ill had a place to play and notjust children who were ill had a place to play and not just sit and be children who were ill had a place to play and notjust sit and be ill. really passionate. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. it's hello, a very good morning to you, time for your bbc london news, i'm frankie mccamley. a 35—year—old man remains in custody over a suspected acid attack outside westminster academy earlier this week. he continues to be questionned by detectives after he was arrrested on suspcion of causing grevious bodily harm. two teenagers were injured in the incident on harrow road, one seriously.

25 years ago, two passenger trains collided at ladbroke grove, two miles west of london's paddington station. 31 people were killed and a17 injured. it was one of the worst rail crashes of the last century. one of the trains had passed a signal that was displaying a danger warning. it was an incident that changed the railways approach to safety. our record has improved massively. from 1900 to 1999, there was almost every year that there was a fatal signal passed at danger accident. since 1999, nobody has died in the uk as a result of a signal passed at danger. so there's been a massive change. the black cultural archives in brixton has opened a new exhibition looking at the magazine race today

which was in published in london in the 1960s and ran until 1985. it concentrated on black issues in the uk and abroad. the exhibit ties in with black history month, which started earlier this week. black history month is reclaiming our narratives. race today is one of the most seminal pieces of black political thought into publication that we've ever seen. let's take a look at the tubes... there's a good service allround at the moment, but we will keep you uodated if that changes. now onto the weather with sophia. good morning. we've had a chilly start with a lot of mist and fog around, but once that lifts away, we should have plenty of sunshine and a fine day of weather ahead of us and staying mostly dry. and that will continue for the next couple of days as we stay in this area of high pressure. but that eventually clears off towards the near continent, and then this area of low pressure eventually wins out towards the end

of the weekend, bringing more unsettled weather conditions our way. but it's settled through today, with plenty of sunshine, some patchy cloud around in places. but mostly dry with a light breeze and highs of around 15 to 17 celsius. so it will be nice in the sunshine. now, overnight, that cloud breaks away further, so it's going to be quite chilly for a time. not quite as chilly as it was last night, but we could have some mist and fog developing into the early part of tomorrow morning. temperatures down to around 7—9 celsius. through the rest of saturday, we've got another fine day of weather ahead of us. plenty of sunshine once again, mostly dry. but it is going to be breezy. but then we look to the end of the weekend and it becomes more unsettled into next week. head to our website lots more stories in the capital. including more on the ladbroke grove train crash. you can tune into bbc radio london and hear about weddings. hello, this is breakfast with

naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the price of a first class stamp will go up by 30 pence on monday. ben's here with the details for us. i suppose one thought is buy them now. that is one way to avoid the cost and we will come on to how much that can savour the moment but it is getting increasingly expensive to send cards and letters and some businesses worry about that. it's the third time that prices have gone up since last october. a standard first class stamp right now will cost you £1.35. on monday, that very same stamp will cost £1.65. an increase of 30p or 22%. royal mail says it needs to put the price up because of what it calls "very real and urgent" financial challenges. it says people are sending fewer letters and that the

business is facing rising operating costs. firms that rely on the post are worried about the increase in costs. our retailers report that many customers come into their shop saying they will not send cards any more. over50% saying they will not send cards any more. over 50% of cards are now hand—delivered. we think that is an opportunity for royal mail because clearly it is lovely to be able to post a card. we love that feeling of looking on the doormat and seeing a handwritten envelope. it is important for people to be able to connect with loved ones, birthdays, key anniversaries, and reach out to say hello, thinking of you. so we are concerned and consumers are definitely worried also. can you beat this price rise? well, yes if you're quick. buying a sheet of 50 first class stamps will be £15 cheaper today than it will be on monday — so

if you send lots of christmas cards, perhaps stock up over the weekend. and, for now, the price of second class stamps will stay the same — at 85p for standard size letters. let us know what you think. will you send fewer christmas cards because of the increase? perhaps you have already given up sending things by post or perhaps it is important to you to get those items on the door —— doormat. i cannot object to you saying the c word now because it is the 4th of october. we are on the run—up to christmas. there is a joy receiving christmas cards. but there is a stress in sending them. are you organised and have them. are you organised and have them all sent out, if you can do it in time for second class post, it is a great way to save money. for me,

they are lucky to arrive after new year. i have never had a christmas card from you. i am bad at sending them. you are not the only one. we will try to change that, shall we? will try. this weekend, donald trump will return to the same location where he survived an assassination attempt less than three months ago. sincejuly, us senators and the secret service have been investigating the security failings which allowed 20—year—old thomas crooks 20—year—old thomas crooks to shoot at the former to shoot at the former president eight times during a rally in president eight times during a rally in pennsylvania. pennsylvania. our analysis editor ros atkins has our analysis editor ros atkins has been examining key questions been examining key questions about what happened. about what happened. donald trump is going back donald trump is going back to butler to hold a rally in the same place he survived an attempted assassination. onjuly the 13th, he was shot while on stage. the gunman, thomas crooks, was lying on a roof nearby. to butler to hold a rally and there are still questions about what went wrong that day. first, why was the building not secured, given it was 130m

from the stage with a direct line of sight? the secret service did have a security perimeter, but the building was beyond it, in an area overseen by local police, and it wasn't secured. the secret service did not give clear guidance or direction to our local law enforcement partners. the next question is why was trump allowed on stage? at 5:10pm, crooks was identified as a person of interest by local police. at 5:38, a local police sniper texted two colleagues saying, "i did see him with a rangefinder, looking towards the stage. if you want to notify secret service snipers to look out. i lost sight of him." some secret service personnel were notified. but at 6:02, trump walked on stage almost an hour after crooks was first seen. there he is. at 6:06, a member of the public filmed crooks on the roof. and then at 6:10, a police officer

was boosted by a colleague to check the roof, but dropped down when faced with crooks and his rifle. trump continued to talk. the secret service says poor communication with local police inhibited the collective awareness of all secret service personnel. notjust that, the secret service didn't share the information it had received across its full team. because of that, trump was on stage and, at 6:11, crooks opened fire. get down! there's another question, too — why didn't secret service snipers shoot earlier? behind the stage, two sniper teams were in position. you can see them here. one of them would shoot crooks dead. when he attacked, this is the view crooks had. he'd been on the roof for at least 18 minutes. for the snipers, even before the rally, concerns were raised about their lines of sight. this animation shows that trees probably blocked one

of the team's view of the roof. whether any of the snipers could see crooks the whole time he was on the roof, we don't know. but lack of line of sight may explain why they didn't act sooner. what is clear is that security mistakes allowed the attack to happen. and while many questions remain about why those mistakes occurred and about the gunman's motive, there is an overall conclusion. this was a failure on the part of the united states secret service. that was our analysis editor. time to talk about sport. a lot of chat about the manager of manchester united, eric —— eric10—hag. the performance wise, whether the team is on his side. and people, the fans

not very happy. the worst premier league start, only drawing two games in the league so far. but a drawing two games in the league so far. buta night drawing two games in the league so far. but a night of chaos and calamity unfolded last night. the pressure is back on. manchester united's embattled manager erik ten hag will have no nails left after watching his side squander a 2—0 lead in the europe league, to eventually draw 3—3. porto looked to have completed an astonishing turnaround to lead 3—2, and with united then down to ten men after captain bruno fernandes was sent off for the second match in a row, it was an unlikely hero, substitute harry maguire, who grabbed an injury time equaliser. but it's hardly enough to make the critics go away. united have made their joint worst start to a premier league season. even if the manager says his team will get there and will improve. the players executed the plan brilliantly. they scored two great goals.

and then, you know, we are switching off. we don't keep so much possession as before. defending, we are switching off. we conceded the first goal totally unnecessarily and then, you know, you light up the fire in this stadium, in this ambience. and then it becomes real tough. tottenham made it two victories from their two europa league games, as a youthful line up won 2—1 in hungary, against ferencvaros. spurs had four teenagers in his starting line—up, and while they sparkled, it was the 23—year—old. substitute brennan johnson. he got their second of the evening. tottenham now have six points from six. rangers conceded four goals inside an hour on

their own patch against french side lyon — taught a real european lesson. and it was a face familiar to english football who got two — former arsenal forward alexandre lacazette with this impressive finish. so rangers defeated 4—1 in the end. now it was an historic night for two minnows in the europa conference league. as we have previewed this week larne became the first irish premiership team to reach the main draw of a european competition — taking on molde in norway, while the new saints were the first welsh league side to be in the competition, facing fiorentina. joe lynskey reports. for the new saints, this was their march into a miracle. a football match between the former champions of italy and a tiny club from oswestry — the first welsh premier league team to get to the group stage. and yet, at half time, remarkably, they were level. quite the feat for a club who get around 300 fans at home games. fiorentina had to push for 65 minutes. and at last, the tns resistance is broken. they won this match 2—0, but tns will always have their fairy

tale in florence. this is not the champions league — it's europe's third biggest competition. but for larne of northern ireland, the faces showed how much it meant. the first irish premiership team to get here faced molde of norway. fizzes it into the top of the net! they lost 3—0, but, for larne, like the new saints, the breakthrough wasjust to be here. joe lynskey, bbc news. still a great moment. larne and new saints are in the same european they kicked off their conference league campaign, with a 4—2 win over belgian side gent. leading 1—0 at half—time, the blues cut loose after the break, with goals from pedro neto, christopher nkunku and kieran dewsbury—hall, with his first after his move from leicester city in the summer. managerless hearts ended their dreadful run of form by coming from behind to beat dinamo minsk

2—1, thanks to yan dhanda's, goal in added time. the match was played behind closed doors in azerbaijan, due to sanctions against belarus for supporting russia's war with ukraine. next to the cricket and the women's t20 world cup. where south africa take on west indies in the days opening match. that's before england get their competition under way against bangladesh tomorrow. bangladesh already have one win under their belt, after victory over scotland yesterday. in their first ever game at the tournament, scotland restricted bangladesh to 119 for seven before opening batter sarah bryce led the way with an unbeaten 49. but they fell 16 runs short of the chase. great britain can secure a place in the america's cup for the first time since 1964 today. ben ainslie's ineos britannia team have a 6—4 lead over italy and require one more point for the chance to take on defending champions new zealand. our sports editor dan roan reports from barcelona.

hang on, boys. hang on to it. it was the moment british sailing dared to dream. ineos britannia going six—four ahead against their italian opponents luna rossa earlier this week. we are about to see the deadlock broken. one more win when racing in this challenger series resumes today will seal britain's first appearance in the final of the america's cup for 60 years. and here in barcelona, skipper sir ben ainslie told me how much it would mean to reach sailing's showpiece event. it is the oldest international sporting trophy. it's the only international sporting trophy that britain has never won, despite it actually being invented or starting around the isle of wight in 1851. so that's why it's so important to us. that's our motivation, really, to go out and get the job done and win it. i think it could be a massive moment for british sport. it's right within grasping distance now, but the way we approach it is really every race at a time. having lost at this stage in 2021, ineos britannia collaborated

with mercedes formula one team to draw on their technical expertise, and ainslie, a four—time olympic champion, says it's proved crucial. america's cup is effectively formula one on water. it's a development game. it's a technical game capped off by a sailing race at the end of it all, you know. so it's really about the technology and it's been an incredible partnership. it's only when you're this close that you get a true sense of the sheer scale of this racing boat. 26m high, 20m long, and capable of speeds of around 60 mph. meanwhile, these giant foil wings enable this six—tonne vessel to effectively fly above the water, providing one of sport's greatest spectacles. after such a long absence, britain stands on the verge of being confirmed as the official challenger to holders team new zealand, when the 37th america's cup gets under way here next weekend. but in a series featuring challenging conditions and the tightest of races, nothing can be taken for granted. dan roan, bbc news, barcelona.

we are flabbergasted by the sight of the boats out of water. it is like a ufo. i don't remember seeing one. the shape is extraordinary. and the hydraulic power. they used to use a team of grinders. now they have a mechanism. because it generates more. they reckon 50% more power. ok. look out for those. it is 6.45. we have had a lot of rain. and i think people are looking forward to calm in the weather.

times. lighterwind in south could hit up to 40 mph at times. lighter wind in the south and east. and it might feel warmer than yesterday with the wind coming from the south. over and —— overnight, skies remaining clear. in northern ireland, some of the rain will get heavy into the morning. keeping temperatures up to double figures whereas in the east, it could get down to lower single figures for some. not a down to lower single figures for some. nota bad down to lower single figures for some. not a bad start to the weekend in england, wales, eastern scotland. dry and bright weather to come. varying amounts of cloud, sunny spells. northern ireland and western scotland, the rain heavier. it could fringe into cornwall and the isles of scilly. the rain pushes then eastwards through saturday night and into sunday. the first band will probably weaken but more cloud

i glanced down and they've got a pile on there that you would put a ladder up the side and a flag on top. it'sjust huge. it's just stupidly excessive. and then it's like two meals on one plate. so they brought in a policy about a year ago and the signs spell it out — only take what you can eat or you could be charged a bit more. mark says most do take sensible portions, but some don't. people come in, take a plate, eat it, come and load the plate for a second time, take it and then eitherjust leave it and waste it, or try and take it home. it's an all—you—can eat buffet, not all—you—can—carry buffet. at the weekend, the team here found themselves imposing the charge for excessive waste for the first ever time. a customer was charged £2.40 on top of the original £12 per plate after they'd confirmed there was nothing wrong with the meal. all of us, the waiting staff, the chefs, me, the landlady, my wife, we all looked at it and go,

"that's ridiculous." the customer took to social media and it's kicked off a debate. you can go back as many times as you like. it's just the amount that's left. yeah. so do you think you can justify an extra charge? i think a small charge would make people eat more responsibly. they buy it in mass, i anyway, so, you know, they obviously calculate . a percentage of it is going to go to waste, anyway. do you think it's fair enough that the pub then puts an extra charge on you? i've never been in that position because i never eat that much. yes, you do! but, yeah, i would say that's probably fair enough. yeah. eyes are too big for their belly. well, no, because they would havei taken that into consideration before they set up an all—you—can—eat carverv — at the star inn, mark says, of course, leaving a few spuds is one thing, but they have to draw the line somewhere. i can't express enough. it's only on all you can eat, yeah?

ijust want people to be sensible. it's all fine margins in business, these days. so the wastage, we want to keep down to the smallest amount possible. tamsin melville, bbc news. i cannot argue with mark at me neither. —— at all. me neither. we've been following the story of best friends hughie and freddie here on breakfast — they've raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for the royal manchester children's hospital, after hughie received treatment for cancer there. eight months after he was given the all clear, the pair have returned to officially open a rooftop garden for patients, paid for by their fundraising. jayne mccubbin has the details. cheering and applause. this was something of a homecoming — hughie and freddie returning to manchester children's hospital to receive and give thanks. this is so amazing! i know. we've not seen it yet.

they'd come here to officially open a rooftop garden theirfundraising had helped create. wow. how good is this? it's so good. you must feel so thrilled to see... i know, yeah, it's good. ..what you've helped to achieve — it's just incredible. i was here before when you were ringing the bell. - yeah. he did look so tired. this is so much better. ring that bell. just eight months ago, hughie rang the bell to mark the end of his cancer treatment. that's the moment we've been waiting for. we, as a family, cannot thank this hospital enough for what they've done. the care he'd received had inspired an awesome fundraising effort by his best friend freddie, which grew... how much have you raised, freddie? 16,500, so we're doing really good. i've been told that you've raised nearly £50,000! l

..and grew... yeah! ready, freddie, go! ..and grew. now it is over £70,000. cheering. how much money are you on now? 185,000. so proud of myself. no, you don't have to- have a lot of good friends, but you have to have one. yeah. to come this far, it's just amazing. we're up to 350,000, and you can still donate. search hughie and freddie, and then it comes up with... such a pro. ready? today, the total is over £400,000, and the rooftop garden is officially open for other young patients. cheering. how are you feeling? in myself, i'm really good — i finished my treatment injanuary. it's been incredible, the amount of things we've been able to do since then, and just helping the hospital and doing everything we can to, you know, help out with things like this. it's really, really, really incredible. they've got all the moves! we wanted it to be inclusive

for everyone that is treated at the hospital. so from little kids to up to 18. kind of clear their head from what they're having to go through downstairs. you've achieved awesome things... mm—hm. ..and you couldn't organise the weather. i know! it's grim, isn't it? the weather's grim in manchester, so... we're in manchester. ..what can you expect? we're celebrating. this magical place. i don't know if i'm allowed to call it a magical place, but... - definitely a magical place. yeah! you got a hopscotch behind me, you got a cabinet behind me, i a background full of music. however, the weather needs to change and it needs to stop _ raining and it needs to be sunny for the music. - can you arrange this? can you make it happen? i can't do that, unfortunately — . i'm not a weather girl, i'm sorry! hughie and freddie, this is amazing. thank you so much.

there is a saying that life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning how to dance in the rain. and that's exactly what hughie and freddie hope this garden will do — help children find a slice ofjoy and hope as they receive treatment here at the uk's largest children's hospital. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. well done. the rain did not spoil anything. i like that, what do you expect, it is manchester. well done to all of those and i hope the children get to enjoy it. it must bring such a relief in terms of being treated and to get out and feel like a child again. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, a very good morning to you, time for your bbc london news — i'm frankie mccamley. 25 years ago, two passenger trains collided at ladbroke grove, two miles west of london's

paddington station. 31 people were killed, and 417 injured. it was one of the worst rail crashes of the last century. one of the trains had passed a signal that was displaying a danger warning. it was an incident that changed the railways' approach to safety. our record has improved massively. from 1900 to 1999, there was almost every year that there was a fatal signal passed at danger accident. since 1999, nobody has died in the uk as a result of a signal passed at danger. so there's been a massive change. there is more on that story on our website. a 35—year—old man remains in custody over a suspected acid attack outside westminster academy earlier this week. he continues to be questioned by detectives after he was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. two teenagers were injured in the incident on harrow road.

yesterday the father of one of them, a 14—year—old girl, said she may never go back to school and the family are leaving the area. the black cultural archives in brixton has opened a new exhibition?looking at the magazine race today which was in published in london in the 1960s and ran until 1985. it concentrated on black issues in the uk and abroad. black history month is reclaiming our narratives. race today is one of the most seminal pieces of black political thought into publication that we've ever seen. the exhibit ties in with black history month, which started earlier this week. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with sophia. good morning. we've had a chilly start with a lot of mist and fog around, but once that lifts away,

we should have plenty of sunshine and a fine day of weather ahead of us and staying mostly dry. and that will continue for the next couple of days as we stay in this area of high pressure. but that eventually clears off towards the near continent, and then this area of low pressure eventually wins out towards the end of the weekend, bringing more unsettled weather conditions our way. but it's settled through today, with plenty of sunshine, some patchy cloud around in places. but mostly dry with a light breeze and highs of around 15 to 17 celsius. so it will be nice in the sunshine. now, overnight, that cloud breaks away further, so it's going to be quite chilly for a time. not quite as chilly as it was last night, but we could have some mist and fog developing into the early part of tomorrow morning. temperatures down to around 7—9 celsius. through the rest of saturday, we've got another fine day of weather ahead of us. plenty of sunshine once again, mostly dry. but it is going to be breezy. but then we look to the end of the weekend and it becomes more unsettled into next week. head to our website — lots more stories in the capital. just type bbc london news into any search engine.

i'll be back in half an hour. see you soon. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... mps will get a vote on assisted dying in england and wales — the first for nine years. campaigners in favour welcome the move — others remain cautious. if this were to become law, it would give people like me real hope. i'm against the change in the law because i'm concerned

about the impact on vulnerable people and disabled people. israel has launched more air strikes on beirut close to the city's airport, where people have been trying to flee the country. in sport, super sub maguire rescues manchester united in europe. harry's late header salvages a point in porto, but will it be enough to lift the pressure on the manager, whose side had already squandered a two—goal lead? and we'll talk to the teenager with cancer who's impressed the princess of wales with her photography, and hear what happened when they met at windsor castle. plus, when they met at windsor castle. whilst many havr from plus, whilst many have had respite from the rain at long last three yesterday it continues today and for some into the start of the weekend, but western scotland, northern ireland, already rain gathering. i will tell you where it is heading. good morning. it's friday 4th october. our main story. campaigners for assisted dying have welcomed the news that mps will be

given a vote on whether the law should be changed in england and wales. dame esther rantzen — who has stage four lung cancer — said she is "thrilled and grateful". opponents have voiced concerns that vulnerable people could be coerced into ending their lives. our political correspondent, helen catt, reports. the noes to the left, 330. the last time mps voted on assisted dying was nearly ten years ago — they opposed changing the law. but a new set of mps will get a new vote in the coming months, after labour's kim leadbeater came top in a ballot that gives backbench mps time in the commons to propose laws, and said she would put it forward. i also think there is a real sense within parliament that now is the time for this debate. as i say, it's nearly ten years since there was last a debate in the chamber. so i think most people... you know, people are nervous, people know how serious this subject is, and i understand that - but i also think it's important enough that we show parliament at its best, actually,

which is debating something that we know matters to a huge amount of people. the broadcaster dame esther rantzen has lung cancer. she reignited calls for a debate and vote on assisted dying, and got a promise from sir keir starmer that he'd support one happening. it's a tremendous thrill for me. i didn't expect to be alive when such a debate happened — i didn't expect to be around, i didn't think it would happen in time. if introduced, a new law would be likely to apply to people who've been told they have less than six months to live, and two doctors would have to approve it. but there are concerns. i am concerned about the impact on vulnerable people, on disabled people, coercive control and the ability of doctors to make a six—month diagnosis, but also the time and capacity they have to make sure it is someone's settled wish.

the vote in parliament is likely to be a free one, which means it would be up to individual mps to choose whether or not to back it. the government has said it will stay neutral. last night the cabinet secretary, simon case, wrote to ministers. he told them they could stand by views they'd previously stated if they're asked about them directly, but they should exercise discretion, and should not take part in the public debate. it's not certain that mps will back a change in the law, but the conversation about assisted dying that's been growing outside the walls of westminster will now be decided inside them. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. at 7:10, we'll hear more from dame esther rantzen, and speak to her daughter rebecca wilcox and to baroness tanni grey—thompson, who is against the proposals. that is coming up shortly. naga, you have more on missile strikes that

have more on missile strikes that have happened overnight in the middle east. tensions remain high in the middle east, following israeli strikes on southern lebanon and the occupied west bank overnight. this large explosion was seen near beirut�*s international airport, which borders the suburb of dahieh — a hezbollah stronghold which has been a target for israeli attacks. more british nationals are expected to leave lebanon on chartered flights in the coming days. elsewhere, in the occupied west bank, the israeli military says it has killed a senior hamas figure, following a strike on a refugee camp in the city of tulkarm. palestinian health officials say at least 18 people have been killed. in the last few hours, us presidentjoe biden has said he believes an all—out war in the middle east can be avoided. leaders of all g7 countries released a joint statement last night outlining concerns over the deteriorating situation in the region.

in a moment we'll speak to our correspondent injerusalem, yolande knell — but first to lina sinjab, who is in the lebanese capital of beirut. good morning to you. tell me about the severity of the strikes and the impact it is still having on people who are living in fear there. well. who are living in fear there. well, it is becoming _ who are living in fear there. well, it is becoming recurrent _ who are living in fear there. well, it is becoming recurrent pattern l it is becoming recurrent pattern that israel is conducting here in lebanon, especially in beirut, where people have sleepless nights with numerous strikes hitting the capital beirut overnight and this today was targeting southern beirut in the dahieh area, close to the airport where smoke is still seen early this morning and people fear that this could have disturbed movement and traffic in the airport. these kind of strikes are continuous. israel is

expanding its targets and its strike beyond hezbollah —controlled areas. the night before we saw an attack also in central beirut. wherever you look around here in beirut there are displaced people, people who run for their safety, either from the south or from the southern suburb of beirut, but anywhere else in beirut is not feeling safe for them because israel could assign a target and hit regardless if it is residential or not. despite efforts on a diplomatic level to de—escalate or have a ceasefire, people here have zero faith in the international community because they feel the netanyahu government is determined to go with whatever they decide regarding eliminating hezbollah and nobody is able to stop them.— able to stop them. thank you, lina sin'ab, able to stop them. thank you, lina sinjab. our— able to stop them. thank you, lina sinjab, our middle _ able to stop them. thank you, lina sinjab, our middle east _ sinjab, our middle east

the odyssey left belfast port on monday night, but only travelled a few miles because of concerns it might need to refuel. relieved passengers are now en route to france, on the first leg of their world tour. our ireland correspondent, chris page, sent this report. four months into its world tour, the villa vie odyssey had covered about 15 miles. after 17 weeks in belfast harbour, it dropped anchor here in belfast lough. for two and a half days, its top speed was zero knots. but then the horn sounded. we were in our room and heard "mehhhhh, mehhhhh" and then the message came across — "we're leaving!" cheering. a christening ceremony confirmed it was time to cast off. we don't even know where we're going. we're trying to find a port, so...cool, right? we're finally going! as the horizon beckoned at last, on board there was an ocean of emotion.

we really are moving! we're moving! back on the shore, people came to watch the now famous ship disappear from view across the irish sea. the sunset that i'm looking at now, and to have the warm weather all the time will be something we're all looking forward to. so what was it like when you heard the engines starting up? it was very, very...a guarded happiness. "is it really happening, is it not?" because we've been so used to it over and over again and i'm like, "ok, i'm breaking out my happy dance!" the party's only starting for the seafarers — many are planning to live on the liner for a few years — even longer than their stay in northern ireland. chris page, bbc news, in county down. well, from the skies above the ocean to the skies outside our building here, we can look at that. lovely dappled early morning skies, the

suspected of pressurising me. though people that know me don't think that's very likely! but, anyway, the fact is that this is my decision — it's my life, it's my choice, and it's what i want for everybody in my position — just to have the choice. in a moment we will speak to baroness tanni grey—thompson, the former paralympian who is against the proposed change. very good morning to you. but first, we're joined by rebecca wilcox, the daughter of dame esther rantzen. good morning to you. we heard from your mum a moment ago and people will sense the relief in her voice. tell me about how this has wide implications but for yourfamily tell me about how this has wide implications but for your family it is very personal. what are the implications of the potential change for you and your mum? you

time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, a very good morning to you. let's look at what's happening in the capital with me frankie mccamley. 25 years ago, two passenger trains collided at ladbroke grove, two miles west of london's paddington station. 31 people were killed, and 417 injured. it was one of the worst rail crashes of the last century. one of the trains had passed a signal that was displaying a danger warning. it was an incident that changed the railways' approach to safety. our record has improved massively. from 1900 to 1999, there was almost every year that there was a fatal signal passed at danger accident. since 1999, nobody has died in the uk as a result of a signal passed at danger. so there's been a massive change.

a 35—year—old man remains in custody over a suspected acid attack outside westminster academy earlier this week. he continues to be questionned by detectives after he was arrested on suspcion of causing grevious bodily harm. two teenagers were injured in the incident on harrow road. yesterday, the father of one of them, a 14—year—old girl, said she may never go back to school and the family are leaving the area. the black cultural archives in brixton has opened a new exhibition looking at the magazine race today, which was in published in london in the 1960s and ran until 1985. it concentrated on black issues in the uk and abroad. black history month is reclaiming our narratives. race today is one of the most seminal pieces of black political thought into publication that

we've ever seen. the exhibit ties in with black history month, which started earlier this week. a look at the tubes now — there's a good service. good morning. we've had a chilly start with a lot of mist and fog around, but once that lifts away, we should have plenty of sunshine and a fine day of weather ahead of us and staying mostly dry. and that will continue for the next couple of days as we stay in this area of high pressure. but that eventually clears off towards the near continent, and then this area of low pressure eventually wins out towards the end of the weekend, bringing more unsettled weather conditions our way. but it's settled through today, with plenty of sunshine, some patchy cloud around in places. but mostly dry with a light breeze and highs of around 15 to 17 celsius. so it will be nice in the sunshine. now, overnight, that cloud breaks away further, so it's going to be quite chilly for a time. not quite as chilly as it was last

night, but we could have some mist and fog developing into the early part of tomorrow morning. temperatures down to around 7—9 celsius. through the rest of saturday, we've got another fine day of weather ahead of us. plenty of sunshine once again, mostly dry. but it is going to be breezy. but then we look to the end of the weekend and it becomes more unsettled into next week. for lots more stories in the capital just type bbc london news into any search engine. see you soon welcome back. the founder of the uk's only orchestra using balalaikas said he is struggling to recruit members because of anti—russian sentiment. some members of the orchestra in manchester have been

playing the instrument similar to elite for more 40 years. every monday at chorlton central church, a unique sound fills the air. this is the kalinka balalaika orchestra, based around an eastern european instrument that's been played for centuries. well, the balalaika, as it is now, is a member of the lute family with a triangular body, as you can see. it has a throbbing sound because it's played with the fingers and you don'tjust pluck the strings, you actually strike the strings. originally played by russian peasants, the balalaika has now made its way into hollywood films. i want roadblocks at everyjunction for 50km. and featured in songs by famous artists, like kate bush. # be running up that road, be running up that hill #.

we have played with some notable people, including ewan mcgregor in a film last year. that was a gentleman in moscow. oddly enough, it was filmed mostly in bolton. the orchestra here in chorlton has been running for 40 years, with the next closest group in paris. but brian says, lately, it's been in decline. it's become difficult at the moment because of the ongoing conflicts in ukraine and people conflating two things. we play the music, we're not spokespersons for russian policy or anything like that. for the regulars who come every week, not having the orchestra would be a huge loss. my family, some of them are originally from lithuania, so it has that whole eastern european element to it. so it's nice to connect with them in that way. it's a very unique instrument.

like, not a lot of people know. what it is, especially in the uk. so i like being able - to say that i do something different to most people. if it'sjust one person playing, it's not as good. but when everyone plays together, it's a really nice sound. the orchestra are hoping more people will come and join them to keep this traditional instrument alive here for many more decades to come. a beautiful instrument. in about 40 a beautiful instrument. in about 40 minutes we will be talking about minutes we will be talking about information the police are receiving information the police are receiving from cameras attached to cyclists or from cameras attached to cyclists or cars. they are getting more bits of cars. they are getting more bits of video footage leading to video footage leading to prosecutions of people on the road. prosecutions of people on the road.

it stokes the argument between cyclists and motorists. the government has pledged nearly £22 billion for two major new carbon capture projects which it says will pave the way for a "clean energy revolution". it said the sites in merseyside and teesside will create thousands

it said the sites in merseyside and teesside i powerite thousands it said the sites in merseyside and teesside i power station sands it said the sites in merseyside and teesside i power station closed last coal—fired power station closed after 142 years and that was the end of an era and today we start a new era. carbon capture and storage, why is it essential? for idris is like glass, cement, oil refineries, if they have a future we cannot let carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, we have to store it underground and thatis we have to store it underground and that is what we are making possible, two highways if you like for carbon capture in the north—west and north—east. this is about good jobs in britain. 4000 good jobs from the announcement today. the potential for 50,000 good jobs, world leadership for britain and a government who says we do believe we have to invest in the long—term future of the country to create good manufacturing jobs.— future of the country to create good manufacturing jobs. manufacturing “obs. people will hear that and also —

people out of work, losing good jobs, orwe people out of work, losing good jobs, or we can help them face the future. that is the choice the government has made. friends of the earth are right that we do need to invest in home insulation and we will do that, but we have to do both. we have to create good jobs. we have to have industries able to survive into the future. i am not willing to say to the cement industry you have to go by the wayside because of climate change or say to the oil refinery you have to shut down straightaway. it is transition and about industries thriving in the future. by, transition and about industries thriving in the future.- transition and about industries thriving in the future. a week ago, 23 scientists _ thriving in the future. a week ago, 23 scientists wrote _ thriving in the future. a week ago, 23 scientists wrote an _ thriving in the future. a week ago, 23 scientists wrote an open - thriving in the future. a week ago, 23 scientists wrote an open letterl 23 scientists wrote an open letter to you urging you to pause support for this scheme. anyone hearing different opinions, some from scientists, and your endorsement of what you are doing might go both of you cannot be right.—

these industries, which would cost billions. we have a unique asset with the north sea that can store carbon for the future. we can either say, as britain has in the past, well, we are going to hang back, we are not sure, we will not lead, we will let other countries get the jobs, take the lead. all we can say this is a government investing in the future. we have made that choice. i think the british people will think it is time we created good new manufacturing jobs. that is what this government is doing. people might agree with some of the principles but at the same time look at their energy bills and alarmed by how high they are and struggling to separate these things out. as you are aware, the new energy price cap rates came in on tuesday.

electricity and gas rising by 10% in england and scotland and wales. bills are going up. my understanding is as you try to become an administration in what you outline, you said you would bring bills down. yes. do you know why the bills went up yes. do you know why the bills went up on october the 1st? because we are in the grip of international gas markets controlled by petro states and dictators and when geopolitical instability happens. we can drive to clean home—grown energy we can control which is why we have overturned the onshore wind ban. we have had the most successful renewable auction in history. we are in a hurry to get us energy independent which is part of the

government plan. if you take these two things together, we would say we have renewable energy where we can, we will have the maximum where we can. carbon capture where we can't. the only way we get back control of energy prices is with the clean energy prices is with the clean energy superpower mission the government was elected to deliver and is delivering.— and is delivering. when is my bill cominu and is delivering. when is my bill coming down? — and is delivering. when is my bill coming down? we _ and is delivering. when is my bill coming down? we have - and is delivering. when is my bill coming down? we have said i and is delivering. when is my bill coming down? we have said by l and is delivering. when is my bill i coming down? we have said by 2030 bills will come _ coming down? we have said by 2030 bills will come down. _ coming down? we have said by 2030 bills will come down. every _ coming down? we have said by 2030 bills will come down. every solar i bills will come down. every solar panel we put up, every turbine we reconstruct and every piece of grit we construct which is controversial for some, we construct which is controversial forsome, but we construct which is controversial for some, but this government believes we have to do it. every time we do that, we get back control of energy and that is what it is about. the old argument for clean energy was a climate change argument. the new argument is a climate change argument and energy security arguments because solar

power, wind, it is not controlled by what putin does or what happens in the middle east. it is controlled at home and that is what we are about and driving towards. you home and that is what we are about and driving towards.— and driving towards. you said by 2030 bills will— and driving towards. you said by 2030 bills will start _ and driving towards. you said by 2030 bills will start coming i and driving towards. you said by i 2030 bills will start coming down. frankly, that is not much help if someone is approaching this winter and is struggling with bills already and is struggling with bills already and knowing they are going to get higher. what you said a moment ago is not helpful. latte higher. what you said a moment ago is not helpful-— is not helpful. we 'ust need to be honest about i is not helpful. we just need to be honest about this. _ is not helpful. we just need to be honest about this. if— is not helpful. we just need to be honest about this. if you - is not helpful. we just need to be honest about this. if you are i is not helpful. we just need to be i honest about this. if you are saying can i kick my fingers and overnight bring down bills, the answer is i can't. it is time we had honesty. we are doing a long—term plan to turn things around for britain. this is the situation we inherited, we are exposed to international fossil fuels. in the short—term, home insulation which we are driving

ill people, they have no control at the moment over their lives and death. i think with proper safeguards, that is the right thing to do. i understand there are people with legitimate views on the other side of the argument, but the current situation is cruel and awful for many people in the most difficult circumstances which is why i will vote for the bill. in difficult circumstances which is why i will vote for the bill.— i will vote for the bill. in amongst what has been _ i will vote for the bill. in amongst what has been knocking - i will vote for the bill. in amongst what has been knocking around . what has been knocking around recently, questions about freebies. you will be aware of the headlines. keir starmer making some payments back into relation —— in relation to things he has received. have you been instructed to pay anything back? i believe there is £2000 linked to you.— back? i believe there is £2000 linked to ou. ~ ., ., , linked to you. when you do anything? i am linked to you. when you do anything? i am sorry- — linked to you. when you do anything? i am sorry- i — linked to you. when you do anything? i am sorry. i don't _ linked to you. when you do anything? i am sorry. i don't know— linked to you. when you do anything? i am sorry. i don't know what - linked to you. when you do anything? i am sorry. i don't know what you i i am sorry. i don't know what you

central defenders. a pundit called it strange, another fan said is central defenders. a pundit called it strange, anotherfan said is he playing for his people divide? but who had the last laugh? manchester united's embattled manager erik ten hag can at least point to his tactical nous with his surprising substitutions last night. ten hag's late call to bring on harry maguire off the subs' bench may have left fans scratching their heads. but it was a masterstroke as the defender headed in a late equaliser to make it three—all. but it won't do much to lift the pressure on the manager whose side had squandered a 2—0 lead and seen captain bruno fernandes, sent off for the second match in a row. united have made theirjoint worst start to a premier league season even if the manager says his team will get there. and what about the minnows? the new saints played.

as we have previewed on breakfast this week larne became the first irish premiership team to reach the main draw of a european competition taking on molde in norway, while the new saints, were the first welsh league side, to be in the competition, facing fiorentina. for the new saints, this was their march into a miracle. a football match between the former champions of italy and a tiny club from oswestry — the first welsh premier league team to get to the group stage. and yet, at half time, remarkably, they were level. quite the feat for a club who get around 300 fans at home games. fiorentina had to push for 65 minutes. they won this match 2—0, but tns will always have their fairy tale in florence. this is not the champions league — it's europe's third biggest competition. but for larne of northern ireland, the faces showed how much it meant. the first irish premiership team to get here faced molde of norway. fizzes it into the top of the net! they lost 3—0, but, for larne, like the new saints, the breakthrough was just to be here. joe lynskey, bbc news.

larne and new saints are in the same european league table as chelsea. they kicked off their conference league campaign with a 4—2 win over belgian side gent. leading 1—0 at half—time, the blues cut loose after the break, with goals from pedro neto, christopher nkunku and kieran dewsbury—hall with his first after his move from leicester city in the summer. managerless hearts ended their dreadful run of form by coming from behind to beat dinamo minsk 2—1, thanks to yan dhanda's goal in added time. the match was played behind closed doors in azerbaijan, due to sanctions against belarus for supporting russia's war with ukraine. we will see you later. the prince and princess of wales say they have been inspired by a young photographer who is determined to complete her bucket list, despite being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. 17—year—old liz hatton was invited to photograph an investiture at windsor castle this week

it was an incident that changed the way railways approach safety. our record has improved massively. from 1900 to 1999, there was almost every year that there was a fatal signal passed at danger accident. since 1999, nobody has died in the uk as a result of a signal passed at danger. so there's been a massive change. a 35—year—old man remains in custody over a suspected acid attack outside westminster academy earlier this week. he continues to be questioned by detectives after he was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. two teenagers were injured in the incident on harrow road. yesterday the father of one of them, a iii—year—old girl, said she may never go back to school, and the family are leaving the area. now onto the weather. another dry day ahead — patchy cloud with highs of 17 degrees, so feeling a little

warmer than yesterday. i'll be back in half an hour. see you soon. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today...

mps will get a vote on assisted dying in england and wales — the first for nine years. campaigners in favour welcome the move — others remain cautious. if this were to become law, it would give people like me real hope. i'm against the change in the law because i'm concerned about the impact on vulnerable people and disabled people. israel has launched more air strikes on beirut close to the city's airport, where people have been trying to flee the country. how more and more motorists are being caught on camera by cyclists — then convicted of bad driving. the rising price of postage — first class stamps go up by 30 pence on monday. some businesses are worried about the increase. i'll explain how you can avoid the extra cost. at least the sunshine is free today across much of england, wales and

eastern scotland. western scotland and northern ireland, they have rain at the moment, i will tell you how thatis at the moment, i will tell you how that is heading eastwards with all the forecast details here on breakfast. good morning. it's friday lith october. our main story. campaigners for assisted dying have welcomed the news that mps will be given a vote on whether the law should be changed in england and wales. dame esther rantzen — who has stage four lung cancer — said she is "thrilled and grateful". opponents have voiced concerns that vulnerable people could be coerced into ending their lives. our political correspondent, helen catt, reports. the noes to the left, 330. the last time mps voted on assisted dying was nearly ten years ago — they opposed changing the law. but a new set of mps will get a new vote in the coming months, after labour's kim leadbeater came top in a ballot that gives backbench mps time in the commons to propose laws, and said she would put it forward. i also think there is a real sense within parliament that now is the time for this debate.

as i say, it's nearly ten years since there was last a debate in the chamber. so i think most people... you know, people are nervous, people know how serious this subject is, and i understand that - but i also think it's important enough that we show parliament at its best, actually, which is debating something that we know matters to a huge amount of people. the broadcaster dame esther rantzen has lung cancer. she reignited calls for a debate and vote on assisted dying, and got a promise from sir keir starmer that he'd support one happening. it's a tremendous thrill for me. i didn't expect to be alive when such a debate happened — i didn't expect to be around, i didn't think it would happen in time. if introduced, a new law would be likely to apply to people who've been told they have less than six months to live, and two doctors would have to approve it. but there are concerns. i am concerned about the impact

on vulnerable people, on disabled people, coercive control and the ability of doctors to make a six—month diagnosis, but also the time and capacity they have to make sure it is someone's settled wish. the vote in parliament is likely to be a free one, which means it would be up to individual mps to choose whether or not to back it. the government has said it will stay neutral. last night the cabinet secretary, simon case, wrote to ministers. he told them they could stand by views they'd previously stated if they're asked about them directly, but they should exercise discretion, and should not take part in the public debate. it's not certain that mps will back a change in the law, but the conversation about assisted dying that's been growing outside the walls of westminster will now be decided inside them. helen catt, bbc news, westminster.

naga, you can bring us up—to—date in connection with the middle east and more missile strikes. tensions remain high in the middle east, following israeli strikes on southern lebanon and the occupied west bank overnight. this large explosion was seen near beirut�*s international airport, which borders the suburb of dahieh — a hezbollah stronghold which has been a target for israeli attacks. more british nationals are expected to leave lebanon on chartered flights in the coming days. elsewhere, in the occupied west bank, the israeli military says it has killed a senior hamas figure, following a strike on a refugee camp in the city of tulkarm. palestinian health officials say at least 18 people have been killed. in the last few hours, us presidentjoe biden has said he believes an all—out war in the middle east can be avoided. leaders of all g7 countries released a joint statement last night

outlining concerns over the deteriorating situation in the region. our middle east correspondent lina sinjab is in the lebanese capital, beirut. these kind of strikes are continuous. israel is expanding its targets and its strike beyond hezbollah—controlled areas. the night before we saw an attack also in central beirut. wherever you look around here in beirut there are displaced people, people who run for their safety, either from the south or from the southern suburb of beirut, but anywhere else in beirut is not feeling safe for them because israel could assign a target and hit regardless if it is a residential area or not. despite efforts on a diplomatic level to de—escalate or have a ceasefire, people here have zero faith in the international community

because they feel that the netanyahu government is determined to go with whatever they decide regarding eliminating hezbollah, and nobody is able to stop them. the number of young people who leave care in england and then face homelessness has risen sharply. government data show the number of 18—to—20—year—old care—leavers struggling to find suitable accommodation rose by more than 50% over the last five years. uk car manufacturers will likely miss zero—emissions targets because demand for new diesel cars is growing faster than for their electric counterparts, despite government—backed green discounts. the society of motor manufactures and traders has written to the chancellor urging for support to encourage more people to switch to electric cars ahead of the budget this month. the american country singer garth brooks has said an allegation that he raped a former female employee is an attempt at extortion. in a statement, he said he was not the man the complainant painted him to be. he's been accused of sexual assault

and battery in a lawsuit filed in california. fewer pupils are starting private secondary school education this year, according to the body that represents some independent schools in the uk. the independent schools council says some members reported a li.6% fall in year 7 pupils in september and blames plans to add vat to school fees. but experts point to other factors, such as a declining birth rate and the cost of living. it has obviously been very wet in the last few weeks. record rainfall for the month of september. i think i'm right in saying that. matt has been saying it will clear up just a bit even though there are storms on the way but, as always, eww will bring us something slightly otherworldly. —— matt.

and east with temperatures in a low single figures. that fog will take until mid—morning to clear but it will be for many. patchy rain on and off throughout today as we go through, but we may see the odd patch get further eastwards, but most will be dry. wind in the west with gusts of wind 30, a0 mph. lighter winds to the south and east and with sunny spells out and are gentle southerly flow, might feel a touch warmer than it did through yesterday. as we go through into this evening and overnight, we stay with some quite the clear skies across central and eastern areas, maybe some fog through east anglia. patchy rain in scotland will make it to the east but in the west some of that rain will turn heavier as we go through the night and into tomorrow. tomorrow we are likely to see heavier rain across western areas. the rest of the country will stay dry with sunny spells but through saturday night into sunday, the cloud and occasional rain will spill its way eastwards, but it looks like

its way eastwards, but it looks like it will not be too much in the way of wet weather.— it will not be too much in the way of wet weather. what was the cause of wet weather. what was the cause of it? the flare? — of wet weather. what was the cause of it? the flare? it— of wet weather. what was the cause of it? the flare? it just _ of wet weather. what was the cause of it? the flare? itjust happens. - of it? the flare? it 'ust happens. is a technical_ of it? the flare? itjust happens. is a technical name _ of it? the flare? itjust happens. is a technical name was - of it? the flare? itjust happens. is a technical name was on - of it? the flare? itjust happens. is a technical name was on a - of it? the flare? itjust happens. | is a technical name was on a solar flare. no, that causes it. corona... a coronal mass ejection. lots of charged particles shooting through space. that is one for the ub cuiz. more people are being prosecuted for dangerous driving offences, thanks to a huge increase in the amount of footage filmed on helmet cameras, dash cams and mobile phones. police forces in england and wales say they receive 150,000 clips every year, and an estimated 90% result in action being taken against drivers. one cyclist in birmingham is responsible for several hundred drivers being investigated. our midlands correspondent phil mackie reports. this is crazy.

yes, it is a learner motorcyclist tapping away on his phone while driving at speed. and who knows what this driver was thinking? there's no reason to do what they did. this is dashcam footage from another car. and a cyclist wearing a helmet camera captured the moment he was nearly knocked off the road. it's typical of the dozens of clips being sent to west midlands police every day. it's notjust the police who are taking the battle against dangerous driving very seriously — one man in birmingham is responsible for a lot of the clips that are being sent in. we aren't revealing tim's full identity because in the past he's been the victim of trolling, but he's a cyclist and part—time cycling instructor who always has his camera on, and nearly always sees drivers failing to take proper care. i came back off one bike ride. ijust said, "i've had enough. there's something we've got to do about it." and i had a camera that i used to use when i went off—road,

and ijust decided to carry that, and then they introduced a portal at the police to report. when people like tim upload material, it comes here — to where a dedicated team of officers working on the appropriately named operation snap sift through it and decide what happens next. every day we come in, there's new submissions. member of the public goes on to the operation snap website, uploads the footage, i then view it or my colleagues view it. any offence on the road, we will deal with it and we have some appalling driving — some serious offences committed on the roads. what's the worst you've seen? worst seen is overtaking on pedestrian crossings when there's people crossing. once there's been a u—turn on the, um, on the motorway, and... this kind of "citizen policing" is being welcomed — and more and more footage is being sent in. people are getting more aware of the poor standards of driving out there within the west midlands area, and people know there is a place they can report it

to and the police will take action. and we are now six—zero miles per hour. ina a0. so, yeah, 60 in a posted 40. you can see you've got flowers on a lamp post there, which would suggest at some point it's gone wrong for someone here. the battle against dangerous driving is being fought in more traditional ways, too. that means more officers on patrol looking for serious criminals, and also stopping drivers who are doing what they shouldn't be. within minutes ofjoining pc rich adams, we saw this. just spotted a driver in a white van with a mobile phone as he's driving, so we're pulling him over. hello, sir. how we doing, you're all right? can you just do me a favour? turn your engine off for me, please. he's apologetic. he knows he shouldn't be doing it. admitted to the offence. but it doesn't negate the fact that the offence has been committed. and back in north birmingham, tim is still going out on his bike with his camera. so how many films have you sent in? several hundred, i would think.

and do you know how many of those have resulted in action taken against the driver? in the west midlands police, all of them. tim reckons that, as more drivers have become aware that they might be caught on camera, the roads have begun to get a little bit safer. in the meantime, there are more cameras, and so the number of videos sent to the police is still going up. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. we'rejoined by road safety campiagner mike van erp — known as cycling mikey on social media — from london, as well as dave lawrie — director of the national private and taxi association. very good morning to you. do you want to start us off with a thought, dave? people watch that footage, there is a cyclist who has taken a lot of footage and people in their cries resulting in prosecutions for doing something illegal. do you approve of that? to doing something illegal. do you approve of that?— doing something illegal. do you a--rove ofthat? ., ., . ., approve of that? to a certain degree because at the _ approve of that? to a certain degree because at the end _ approve of that? to a certain degree because at the end of _ approve of that? to a certain degree because at the end of the _ approve of that? to a certain degree because at the end of the day - because at the end of the day drivers— because at the end of the day drivers are breaking the law, using phones _ drivers are breaking the law, using phones when they are driving, no

from 1900 to 1999, there was almost every year that there was a fatal signal passed at danger accident. since 1999, nobody has died in the uk as a result of a signal passed at danger. so there's been a massive change. more on that story on the website. a 35—year—old man remains in custody over a suspected acid attack outside westminster academy earlier this week. he continues to be questionned by detectives after he was arrested on suspcion of causing grevious bodily harm. two teenagers were injured in the incident on harrow road. yesterday, the father of one of them, a 1a—year—old girl, said she may never go back to school and the family are leaving the area. the black cultural archives in brixton has opened a new exhibition looking at the magazine race today, which was in published in london in the 1960s and ran until 1985. it concentrated on black issues

in the uk and abroad. black history month is reclaiming our narratives. race today is one of the most seminal pieces of black political thought into publication that we've ever seen. the exhibit ties in with black history month, which started earlier this week. a look at the tubes now — just one issue, minor delays on the hammersmith and city line. good morning. we've had a chilly start with a lot of mist and fog around, but once that lifts away, we should have plenty of sunshine and a fine day of weather ahead of us and staying mostly dry. and that will continue for the next couple of days as we stay in this area of high pressure. but that eventually clears off towards the near continent, and then this area of low pressure eventually wins out towards the end of the weekend, bringing more unsettled weather conditions our way. but it's settled through today, with plenty of sunshine, some patchy cloud around in places.

but mostly dry with a light breeze and highs of around 15 to 17 celsius. so it will be nice in the sunshine. now, overnight, that cloud breaks away further, so it's going to be quite chilly for a time. not quite as chilly as it was last night, but we could have some mist and fog developing into the early part of tomorrow morning. temperatures down to around 7—9 celsius. through the rest of saturday, we've got another fine day of weather ahead of us. plenty of sunshine once again, mostly dry. but it is going to be breezy. but then we look to the end of the weekend and it becomes more unsettled into next week. for lots more stories in the capital tune into bbc radio london. they will be speaking to a former apprentice candidate in the next few minutes. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning. the government has promised to make millions of homes more energy

efficient over the next five years by insulating them. when it works, homes are warmer and energy bills go down. but earlier this year, the bbc revealed the insulation could have failed in hundreds of thousands of homes because it wasn't fitted properly, leaving some of the most vulnerable living in damp and mouldy homes. zoe conway reports. i'm removing this mushroomy stuff that's grown on my mum's wall. every few days, lukman ashraf picks mushrooms off the walls. looks disgusting. we've got mould, as well. the wallpaper�*s damp. so this is just one small element of this problem. it's around the whole house. he says the damp took over soon after external wall insulation was fitted nearly two years ago. the house belongs to his mother, tormooja khatun. she is 8a years old, and recently had two strokes. but she liked to sort of live her last few years in this house. and to live in comfort. yeah.

and without stress. absolutely. lukman's parents left bangladesh for britain more than a0 years ago. his father, mohammed, worked in the vauxhall car plant. they bought their home in 1990. dad worked very hard in vauxhall, so, you know, something — they're passionate about having their own house... and...you know, seeing it go downhill because someone's done a really, really bad job — it's just really, really shocking. more than 3,000 homes in luton have had external wall insulation fitted. it involves fixing insulation boards to the outside brickwork of a house. render is then applied to make it waterproof. see, this is virtually flat. building surveyor david walter is inspecting mrs khatun's house. this sill should have been at an angle to throw the water off the building.

what do you make of the quality of the workmanship? it's appalling. it's just obviously been done by people who don't understand the basic principles of weatherproofing a building. water is very unforgiving — it will find a way in. the structure becomes saturated. the sad thing is, i see it time and time again, up and down the country. back inside, the consequences are clear to see. and here, fixed to the wall is the mycelium of the dry—rot fungus. these strands actually grow — and they grow behind the plaster, they can grow through brickwork — and they will actually move at up to the rate of one metre a month. beneath the floorboards, growths of white dry—rot fungus are feeding off this house. this is a classic fruiting body of dry rot, and that's growing out from the mycelium. the family has been warned it could cost more than £100,000 to repair their home.

it's not clear who will pick up the bill. more than three million homes have had insulation fitted under the government's energy efficiency schemes — which are targeted to help low—income households. funded by the energy companies, the cost is passed on to consumers through their energy bills. the bbc revealed earlier this year that figures compiled by the regulator ofgem suggest that hundreds of thousands of uk homes could have insulation that wasn't installed to the required standard. over 50% of the properties in this road have now had i external insulation, _ and i'd say 50% of that lot haven't been done correctly. it is a time bomb waiting to go off, and we as a council will end up - picking up the pieces - because the energy companies and the government can't get their act together. . trustmark is the only government—endorsed quality scheme. for the last five years, trustmark has been responsible for ensuring the quality of work carried out under government green energy schemes.

but is it really working? the company that insulated mrs khatun's house — saviour energy solutions — is trustmark registered. imran hussain is one of a growing number of mps concerned about how botched insulation is ruining their constituents' homes. the government's got to find out the depth of the problem and we cannot see heartbreaking, horrific stories like mrs khatu's — you know, that is just shocking. you know, the tragedy is there's many more households that are impacted the same way. that's not a problem that's impacting luton alone. in my own constituency, we've had very similar situations. in a statement, trustmark ceo simon ayers said...

under the disputes process, the family is supposed to let saviour carry out the repairs, but they don't trust the company to do the work. saviour energy solutions said in a statement... she doesn't sleep anyway, due to ill health, but this has added on top of this at all.

she does worry a lot. the family fears what another winter will do to their home. zoe conway, bbc news, luton. joining us now is our correspondent zoe conway. good morning. this is a huge problem. good morning. this is a huge problem-— good morning. this is a huge roblem. ., , , ., ., problem. how big is it? we do not know the scale _ problem. how big is it? we do not know the scale of _ problem. how big is it? we do not know the scale of it. _ problem. how big is it? we do not know the scale of it. we _ problem. how big is it? we do not know the scale of it. we know - problem. how big is it? we do notj know the scale of it. we know that more than 3 million homes have had insulation. we have looked at ofgem compiled figures that suggest there could be hundreds of thousands of homes that have a problem having had insulation fitted. we do not know what it means, does it means there are hundreds of thousands with severe dry rot and mould? in some cases they were failed because of paperwork not done properly but we should not dismiss that because it could be a red flag field installer

has not done a good job. what was important we spent days in luton. we walked the streets and i went down streets with a surveyor. you could tell, even standing in the street, with his expert eye, house after house had not been done properly. and what i mean is with external wall insulation you would have to completely cover the house, you cannot have gaps. if there is a gap it creates a cold spot. that can lead to condensation and black mould and he was spotting those gaps in house after house. we were going inside and talking to owners and saying there is a gap and there was black mould performing in homes where young families are living. we do not know the scale but we know concern is growing amongst mps. clearly, people who had it installed thought they were doing the right thing. we are being told all the time. ed miliband was on the

programme talking about insulation so people think they are doing the right thing. length? so people think they are doing the riaht thin. ~ , ., i. ., ., right thing. why would you not want to net this right thing. why would you not want to get this done? _ right thing. why would you not want to get this done? when _ right thing. why would you not want to get this done? when it _ right thing. why would you not want to get this done? when it works, i right thing. why would you not want l to get this done? when it works, and in many cases it works. we are not saying it is a failure. in the majority of cases, perhaps most cases, it is working. it can make your home warmer and save on energy bills and help save the planet. people are doing the right thing, feel like they are doing the right thing. but the question is who is inspecting the work? is enough regulation in place to ensure it is done properly? that is the concerned citizens advice have. they are calling urgently on the government to fix the regulatory system because they do not think it fit for purpose. they do not think it fit for purpose-— they do not think it fit for --urose. ., , ., they do not think it fit for n-urose. ., , ., ., purpose. you can understand when a family does — purpose. you can understand when a family does not _ purpose. you can understand when a family does not want _ purpose. you can understand when a family does not want the _ purpose. you can understand when a family does not want the company i purpose. you can understand when aj family does not want the company to come back to do the work. because it was shoddy in the first place. who

streets of luton and saw problems. my streets of luton and saw problems. my question to trustmark was 3000 homes have been done, how many have you inspected? they have not answered the question. why are the organisation is not walking the streets and finding the problems. we are talking about vulnerable, low income households. aha, are talking about vulnerable, low income households.— are talking about vulnerable, low income households. a lot of people will have lived _ income households. a lot of people will have lived in _ income households. a lot of people will have lived in a _ income households. a lot of people will have lived in a property - income households. a lot of people will have lived in a property with . will have lived in a property with damp and problems associated with it but nothing like what you saw. it is grim and health implications are very real. grim and health implications are ve real. ,, ., ,, grim and health implications are ve real. ,, . ., very real. the nhs make it clear there are _ very real. the nhs make it clear there are health _ very real. the nhs make it clear there are health implications - very real. the nhs make it clear i there are health implications when it comes to damp and mould, respiratory illnesses, eczema. the other thing, respiratory illnesses, eczema. the otherthing, one respiratory illnesses, eczema. the other thing, one reason why we keep doing this story is because the terrible irony is these green energy schemes set up by the governments of the last 15 years are targeted at helping low income, vulnerable people and they are the least equipped to cope when it goes wrong.

every time we do this story we are inundated with people telling us about their problems. last time in may, 75 people got in touch, including this family in luton which is why we visited them. irate including this family in luton which is why we visited them.— including this family in luton which is why we visited them. we have put more details — is why we visited them. we have put more details on _ is why we visited them. we have put more details on how— is why we visited them. we have put more details on how people - is why we visited them. we have put more details on how people can - more details on how people can contact us. people have been affected, but at least it is being addressed now. always good to see you. the price of a first class stamp will go up by 30 pence on monday. ben's here with the details for us. yes it is the third time the prices have gone up since last october. a standard first—class stamp right now will cost you £1.35. on monday, that very same stamp will cost £1.65. an increase of 30p, or 22%. royal mail says it needs to put the price up because of what it calls "very real and urgent" financial challenges.

it says people are sending fewer letters and that the business is facing rising operating costs. firms that rely on the post are worried about the increase in costs. our retailers report that many customers come into their shop saying they will not send cards any more. over 50% of cards are now hand—delivered. we think that is an opportunity for royal mail because clearly it is lovely to be able to post a card. we all love that feeling of looking on the doormat and seeing a handwritten envelope. it is important for people to be able to connect with loved ones, on birthdays, key anniversaries, and reach out to say hello, thinking of you. so we are concerned and consumers are definitely worried also. can you beat this price rise? well, yes, if you're quick. buying a sheet of 50 first—class

stamps will be £15 cheaper today than it will be on monday — so if you send lots of christmas cards, perhaps stock up over the weekend. and, for now, the price of second class stamps will stay the same — at 85p for standard size letters. lots of you have been in touch this morning. by by electronic means, none through the post. one in liverpool said i am happy to pay the increase if mail gets there on time. they keep failing to meet delivery targets so if the increase means they meet the targets, fine, but i doubt that. john from tamworth said he will send christmas cards. i have friends in belfast, edinburgh, dundee, manchester, devon and cornwall. who else can deliver cards for that cheap price? peter and susan in kent say as pensioners, we will no longer send cards by post. we deliver cards to friends by hand and use online

services for those further away. we had so many messages from you. thank you. something that affects people and people are saying it changes their habits and puts them off and they worry that will perpetuate fewer people using the post office. and fewer people encouraged to use it, people like you who do not send christmas cards. i did not get a card from you. i did not get a card from you. idid. it i did not get a card from you. i did. it must of got lost. hand delivered. i will put it right this year and may be sent one to charlie. i don't want to be dragged into this, it was awkward as far as i was concerned. we are talking about royal dishes shortly. tom parker bowles will join royal dishes shortly. tom parker bowles willjoin us. dishes royalty have eaten many years ago. some very curious dishes along the way. and there is one called eggs

drumkilbo. we will find out shortly. here's matt. this looks mystical, like a period drama. thejoy drama. the joy of autumn mornings. we drama. thejoy of autumn mornings. we have some fog around. this is the scene on the river thames. it will clear in the coming hours and lead to anotherfine in the coming hours and lead to another fine day in the coming hours and lead to anotherfine day for in the coming hours and lead to another fine day for the majority. western scotland, northern ireland, some rain. most of it light. we will see maybe the odd bright moment here. you can see whether cloud is coming from. it is moving mainly north which means it will not push eastwards too much and most will stay dry. the fog will gradually clear and sunny spells here. figure cloud in northern ireland, western scotland and may be the isle of man.

the wind will pick up in the west. “p the wind will pick up in the west. up to a0 mph. lighter wind the wind will pick up in the west. up to a0 mph. lighterwind in the wind will pick up in the west. up to a0 mph. lighter wind in the south and east and it means because it is coming from the south, slightly milder, feeling warmer than it was yesterday but there should be a decent amount of brightness. overnight, we could see rain in eastern scotland but overall the rain stays away in the west and it will turn heavy in northern ireland. with clearer skies further east, feeling cooler. some fog patches but that will clear. for many in england, wales and eastern scotland, a dry and bright day. cloud waxing and waning. northern ireland, later into cornwall, the isles of scilly, the rain will turn more persistent. temperatures tomorrow similar to today's. as we go through saturday night and into sunday, when fronts

will work eastwards. the first will probably fizzle overnight. more weather fronts arriving behind probably fizzle overnight. more weatherfronts arriving behind it. it means on sunday, compared with saturday, more can expect conditions. the odd glimmer of sunshine at times. while we will see rain, showers could be heavy in the west later. it will be a day when you have to cater for rain. they will be brighter moments. temperatures mid to high teens. after that, what happens depends on this, a major hurricane 3000 miles away. it will move northwards, it could have an influence on the weather next week. there are scenarios that could play out, not set in stone. one could bring wet and windy weather. that is the middle to late next week. another scenario is it moves to the south and leaves us with something cooler

but brighter at times. i think it will be somewhere in between. late will be somewhere in between. we will be somewhere in between. we will be somewhere in between. we will be looking out for that. food, do you eat too much or to little? mr; do you eat too much or to little? my e es do you eat too much or to little? iji eyes are do you eat too much or to little? ii eyes are bigger do you eat too much or to little? ii1: eyes are bigger than my belly. do you eat too much or to little? my eyes are bigger than my belly. it - do you eat too much or to little? my eyes are bigger than my belly. it is i eyes are bigger than my belly. it is a ood eyes are bigger than my belly. it is a good phrase- _ eyes are bigger than my belly. it is a good phrase. you will be interested in this. how much is too much at an all you can eat sunday carvery? well, one business owner in cornwall is fed up of people piling their plates high and leaving a lot uneaten — or even trying to take an extra portion home. you pilot up so much there is enough to take away another plateful. —— pilate up. he's introduced an extra charge for customers who leave excessive food on their plates, but it's proving quite controversial. tamsin melville reports. food waste became a real headache for landlord mark graham in the years after the pandemic.

at his sunday carvery, he serves the meat, and then customers can return as many times as they like to load up again on all the rest. i glanced down and they've got a pile on there that you would put a ladder up the side and a flag on top. it'sjust huge. it's just stupidly excessive. and then it's like two meals on one plate. so they brought in a policy about a year ago and the signs spell it out — only take what you can eat or you could be charged a bit more. mark says most do take sensible portions, but some don't. people come in, take a plate, eat it, come and load the plate for a second time, take it, and then eitherjust leave it and waste it, or try and take it home. it's an all—you—can eat buffet, not all—you—can—carry buffet. at the weekend, the team here found themselves imposing the charge for excessive waste for the first ever time. a customer was charged £2.40 on top of the original £12 per plate after they'd confirmed there was nothing

wrong with the meal. all of us, the waiting staff, the chefs, me, the landlady, my wife, we all looked at it and go, "that's ridiculous." the customer took to social media and it's kicked off a debate. you can go back as many times as you like. it's just the amount that's left. yeah. so do you think you can justify an extra charge? i think a small charge would make people eat more responsibly. they buy it in mass, i anyway, so, you know, they obviously calculate . a percentage of it is going to go to waste, anyway. do you think it's fair enough that the pub then puts an extra charge on you? i've never been in that position because i never eat that much. yes, you do! but, yeah, i would say that's probably fair enough. yeah, yeah. eyes are too big for their belly. well, no, because they would havei taken that into consideration before they set up an all—you—can—eat carvery~ — at the star inn, mark says, of course, leaving a few spuds

is one thing, but they have to draw the line somewhere. i can't express enough. it's only on all you can eat, yeah? ijust want people to be sensible. it's all fine margins in business, these days. so the wastage, we want to keep down to the smallest amount possible. tamsin melville, bbc news. watching that with us is tom parker bowles. a food critic, chef. what do you make of that? fair bowles. a food critic, chef. what do you make of that?— bowles. a food critic, chef. what do you make of that? fair game. you do not want to — you make of that? fair game. you do not want to waste _ you make of that? fair game. you do not want to waste food _ you make of that? fair game. you do not want to waste food and _ you make of that? fair game. you do not want to waste food and to - you make of that? fair game. you do not want to waste food and to fill - not want to waste food and to fill your plate massively and leave it is appalling. you should be charged. it is a little bit bossy perhaps but food waste is bad and you should eat what you pick up on your all—you—can—eat. what you pick up on your all-you-can-eat.- what you pick up on your all-you-can-eat. what you pick up on your all- ou-can-eat. ., , i, , what you pick up on your all- ou-can-eat. i, , i, , i, i, all-you-can-eat. have you been to an all-you-can-eat _ all-you-can-eat. have you been to an all-you-can-eat buffet? _ all-you-can-eat. have you been to an all-you-can-eat buffet? many - all-you-can-eat. have you been to an all-you-can-eat buffet? many times. | all-you-can-eat buffet? many times. i went to one — all-you-can-eat buffet? many times. i went to one in _ all-you-can-eat buffet? many times. i went to one in france _ all-you-can-eat buffet? many times. i went to one in france for— all-you-can-eat buffet? many times. i went to one in france for story -
