6:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and mega munchetty. our headlines today: beirut is hit by another round of blasts overnight — as hezbollah says its forces are fighting israeli troops in the south of lebanon. 18,000 pupils in england with special educational needs will be offered nhs eyesight, dental and ear checks in school, from next year. we meet the campaigners raising awareness of living with a stoma — as charities warn many still face stigma after surgery. it is how people managejobs
6:01 am
it is how people manage jobs and families because that is the bit we do not see. and history is made in the sport, that's formula 1 on water. sir ben ainslie and his crew are the first british team for 60 years to have the chance now to lift the america's cup, if they can beat new zealand next weekend. three, two, one go! celebrating 20 years of parkrun. how the phenomenon grew from just 13 people in their local park — to hundreds of thousands taking part worldwide. and good morning. a fine and mild autumn day ahead for many of us with sunny spells developing. more clouded out breaks of rain four times across parts of northern ireland and parts of western scotland but i will bring you details throughout the programme. good morning. it's saturday october 5. our main story. further airstrikes have hit beirut overnight, as the israeli military continues to target hezbollah in the southern suburbs of the capital. these are the latest in a series of strikes in recent days.
6:02 am
since tuesday, israel says its forces have hit more than 2000 sites in lebanon. this map shows how the conflict has developed across the region. these are the attacks by israel ahead of last night — shown in red. the ones in purple are where rockets were fired into northern israel by hezbollah. this is the live picture looking over beirut at the moment. as the war in the middle east continues, the united nations warns that there's no more room in shelters in lebanon for people trying to flee the conflict. 0ur correspondent will vernon has the latest. lebanon's capital pummelled by explosions, yet again. this was the scene overnight, one week on since the leader of hezbollah was killed. this conflict is escalating. and the suffering of the lebanese people is intensifying.
6:03 am
the united nations says most of the 900 shelters that have appeared across the country are now full. hundreds of men, women and children are forced to sleep in the open. the civilian toll on this campaign is not acceptable. all parties must do whatever they can at all times to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure and ensure that civilians are never put in harm's way. and tension is mounting over how israel will respond to this. last week iran fired around 200 ballistic missiles at its enemies, most were shut down. but america is concerned that israel's retaliation could open up a dangerous new front in the war. joe biden last night suggested strikes against iranian oil facilities were not the solution. the israelis have not concluded what they will do in terms
6:04 am
of the strike, that's under discussion. i think if i were in their shoes, i would think about other alternatives than striking oil fields. 0n the northern border with lebanon, the sounds of war are never far. for those that remain, the fear is constant. it's more than afraid, afraid of something for those few minutes. we have one year of afraid. there is a long time, we don't know when or how it will finish. more uk nationals have been evacuated on special flights. organised by the british government. another plan is scheduled to leave beirut tomorrow. israel says its offensive in lebanon will continue until hezbollah no longer poses a threat. for the civilians caught in the middle, the agony of war drags on. will vernon, bbc news. time now is 6.04. charlie you have

6:09 am
pupils. michelle roberts, bbc news. donald trump is due to hold a rally later today at the site in pennsylvania where he survived an assassination attempt injuly. during the incident, in the city of butler, the former president's ear was grazed and another man was killed. today's event is taking place exactly a month before the us presidential election. the mp for belfast south and mid down, claire hanna, is to be confirmed as the new leader of the social democratic and labour party at its annual conference today. she was the only candidate to put herself forward to succeed colum eastwood, who resigned in august. uk banks must refund fraud victims within five days, under new rules which come in next week. currently, high street banks and payment firms voluntarily reimburse customers. the regulator hailed the changes, but critics say they're concerned that the maximum compensation has been reduced from £415,000 to £85,000.
6:10 am
it is essentially a betrayal of confusion is in favour of small payment firms who have done very little, frankly, to stop fraud over the last few years and receive many fraudulent payments. it will affect all of us because if firms do not have to reimburse fraud above that 85,000 there is less incentive to invest in their antifraud measures because they will lose less money. london's fire chief said he accepts all the recommendations directed towards the service from the grenfell tower inquiry�*s final report. one month after the report was published, commissioner andy roe insisted there had already been huge improvements in training and equipment — but said he "worried constantly" about another fire on the scale of grenfell. 72 people died in the disaster in 2017. i pointed out in a few weeks ago, a block that is effectively 100% engulfed in fire. i have seen firefighters, as i thought my own
6:11 am
eyes on night of granville, undertake unbelievable acts of heroism to get over 100 people out of that block safely. all the time that that situation persists, all the time that i have 1300 under mediated buildings in london i cannot relax and the of a catastrophic fire, a failing building, still exists. yesterday we told you about rose, the jack russell—cross that was rescued from a cliff face in west yorkshire. we can now show you this — the moment she was freed, one week after falling through a small crack. rose's owners said volunteers had been working day and night, and eventually reached her after using heavy machinery to drill into the rock. i think at the beginning of that you did see how narrow that gap was. yeah. and she had fallen in, they were feeding her, i think it took eight days to get her. she was taken

6:13 am
and patchy but not as much rain as we had yesterday and for a time it will brighten up the parts of northern ireland and for much of scotland. that rain sitting in the far north—west for much of england and wales thing dry fine settled weather through the day, breeze coming in from the south. top temperature is this afternoon is 17 for many, 18 for parts of eastern scotland and parts of south—east england as well. doing reasonably well for this stage in october. into the evening hours that is when the rain pushes across the south—west of england, northern ireland will see a little rain through this evening tonight and then cloud pushes in east. temperatures will not be as low as they are first thing this morning but by tomorrow morning many of us are in double figures with a bit more of a blanket of cloud and breeze around. so through tomorrow here is that weather front pushing its way eastwards. slowly, because we still have high pressure out towards the east. it will bring a little more rain that we got today for some of us. you can see that
6:14 am
rain initially parts of northern ireland and patchy rain in western scotland will sublet on some of that rain putting into welcome the south—west of england, could be the odd thunderstorm mixing as well. much of south—east england and eastern scotland also staying dry for a good part of the day. temperatures again in the fora good part of the day. temperatures again in the mid— for a good part of the day. temperatures again in the mid— high teens for many and a little cooler across the north of scotland. things will turn more unsettled so let's look through the new working week. you can see wind arrows on the map through monday and tuesday and then into wednesday it is all highs to the system which is the remnants of ex—hurricane. that looks like it will move towards the south but it could bring fairly disruptive and breezy weather. monday i think sunny spells and scattered showers that will be quite blustery showers across parts of england and wales in the odd heavy and thundery one. temperatures again do well with the breeze coming in from the south. and then further ahead through next week thatis then further ahead through next week that is when we see things turning a little more unsettled and changeable. plenty of shower symbols

"beirut blasted" reads one of the headlines on the front page of the financial times.
6:21 am
the paper reports that israel has stepped up its bombardment of lebanon, alongside a photo of a man running for cover during an air raid in the capital. the times leads with the news that more than 7 million people will have access to sick pay, maternity pay and unfair dismissal protection from day one in the job, under new plans from the government. the daily express describes labour's winter fuel payment cuts as "disgraceful" and says more than one in four of people affected are over 80. and the independent reports that 36 rail projects — including 16 new stations — are at risk of being scrapped. the paper claims the north and south—west of england would be the hardest hit if all the plans are axed in the budget at the end of this month. 20 years ago this weekend, an amateur runner in london set up a race in his local park — hoping it would turn into a weekly social event. he couldn't have known it would expand over the years to become an international network of races called parkrun, which now attracts hundreds of thousands of people each

6:28 am
we have a chance. the 4—time olympic champion, sir ben ainslie, has been trying to get to this point for well over a decade now. and, finally, he will get his chance, with a british team, to challenge for the america's cup trophy against the holders, new zealand, off barcelona, starting next weekend. ainslie's ineos britannia team, got the wins they needed off barcelona to beat the italian luna rossa crew to become the first british team in 60 years to have a chance now to lift the oldest international trophy in sport, the america's cup. it can take hundreds of millions of pounds to be competitive, with all the cutting—edge technology that's needed and the british team have been heavily backed by british billionaire and manchester united co—owner sirjim ratcliffe. and ainslie thinks this could be crucial when they challenge the holders new zealand, over 8 days from next weekend. the kiwis are a huge challenge, but we have been pushed very hard by them and they are a class act. whichever team gets to the spinal they will be battle hardened and we
6:29 am
will give the kiwis a good run. how big a moment could this be for your support for sailing in britain? it is massive for sailing, the america's cup is the only trophy we has never won an international spot. manchester united fans, must be wishing sirjim radcliffe could bring them such joy, but his football project has been something of a soap opera recently, after their joint worst start to a premier league season, and throwing away a 2 goal lead, in porto the other night. united sit 13th in the table and are 8 points behind early league leaders liverpool as they prepare to face aston villa tomorrow, questions about the future of manager eric ten hag, once again, dominate the back pages this morning. the dutchman insists the club is united behind him and manchester united co—owner, sirjim ratcliffe, wouldn't be drawn on the matter as he celebrated his sailing team's triumph, he spoke to our sports editor dan roan about whether or not he had faith
6:30 am
in the dutchman. i don't want to answer that question, i like eric he is a very good coach but it is not my court at the end of the day it is the management team. they have to decide how we best run the team. many different respects. they need to take stock and make some sensible decisions. the objective is very clear — we want to take manchester united back to where it should be. and it's not there yet. former united player paul pogba has had his four—year ban for a doping offence reduced to 18 months after winning his appeal to the court of arbitration for sport. thejuventus midfielder can resume training injanuary and play in matches from march. the france international was suspended earlier this year after a drugs test found elevated levels of testosterone in his system. pogba has always said he didn't knowingly breach any doping regulations and has blamed a nutritional supplement prescribed by a doctor. spare a thought for illan meslier this morning — the leeds united keeper's error gifted sunderland a point in their top—of—the—table
6:31 am
championship clash. all he had to do the was stop the ball and leaves would have one. leeds looked like they had secured all three points but a bizarre sequence saw alan browne's deflected flick ending up in the back of the net, the ball flying towards meslier but somehow evading the frenchman's grasp to salvage a 2—2 draw for sunderland. it did bounce awkwardly. the perils of being a goalkeeper... he had had a good game until that point. i don't think you set that up fairly it did notjust roll to him it was an awkward bounce. it it did notjust roll to him it was an awkward bounce.— it did notjust roll to him it was an awkward bounce. it did bounce finall . i an awkward bounce. it did bounce finally- i support _ an awkward bounce. it did bounce finally. i support him. _ an awkward bounce. it did bounce finally. i support him. he - an awkward bounce. it did bounce finally. i support him. he did - an awkward bounce. it did bounce finally. i support him. he did well| finally. i support him. he did well until that .1 of those things that can happen to goalkeepers and they are remembered for its. hopefully his teammates are rallying around them. it is crunch time and rugby league cup. reigning champions wigan warriors take on leigh leopards in the second of super league's play—off semi—finals today.
6:32 am
last night, hull kr beat warrington wolves by ten points to eight. james bachelor scored the first of his side's two tries. they led 10—0 at the break and survived a warrington fightback to reach their first grand final which takes place at old trafford next saturday. in rugby, scotland's women take onjapan in wxv2 later today as they look to build on an opening day win over italy. yesterday, italy bounced back from that defeat to beat wales in cape town. wales trailed 8—5 in the dying moments and had one last chance to snatch a win but were denied by some heroic italy defending. wales have now lost both fixtures and must beat japan next friday or face relegation. in rugby's men's premiership, reigning champions northampton saints edged harlequins by 33 points to 29 at franklin's gardens. both sides picked up a bonus point, but it was saints who earned the win, coming from 22—14 down to record their second victory of the season. ollie sleigh—holme with two tries. northampton are up to third. meanwhile sale against, gloucester was also pretty close.
6:33 am
gloucester started the better side but sale went ahead, before half time and never lost their lead. luke cowan—dickie, celebrated his return to the england squad, with the game's decisive try. 31—27 the final score in salford. and in the united rugby championship — defending champions glasgow ended cardiff's perfect start to the season with a thrilling win at the arms park. glasgow had looked like walking it, scoring five tries before half—time to lead 33—12. cardiff then twice came back to within four points but glasgow surged clear towards the end of the match — tom jordan with their eighth and final try of the night. 52—36 the final score. cricket, and england's test captain ben stokes is a doubt for the first test against pakistan on monday. the all—rounder hasn't played since the beginning of august and is still recovering from a hamstring injury. stokes did bat and bowl in the nets in multan yesterday but will undergo more tests before its decided if he'll play in the match. and there's a chance that if he does play, he won't bowl. now england's women play in the t20

6:35 am
and, what on earth has happened to china's most senior economist after he criticised xi jinping? we think he disappeared some time earlier this year. that gives you an indication ofjust how cautious people have to be in order to not run foul of the leadership in china. sirens wailing. iran launched two big waves of missiles at israel on tuesday. but in case you might think world war iii was breaking out, it was all carefully choreographed. explosions. iran signalled what it was going to do. the americans knew about it beforehand and israel was expecting it. that is the way these things are done. the basic facts are unchanged, israel remained dominant in the immediate region and iran's
6:36 am
hope of turning its two associates groups, hamas in gaza and hezbollah in lebanon into checks on israel hasn't succeeded. and a wider war between israel and iran doesn't seem altogether likely because neither country wants it. especially not iran, whose rulers know how fragile their control over their own population is. i sought the views of frank gardner, the bbc�*s security correspondent. we spoke just before iran's attack on israel. israel started this with the pager, exploding pagers and then the aircampaign. but in the end it was always inevitable that to achieve their aims they were going to have to go in on the ground which they have
6:37 am
done and when they talk about a limited targeted operation, does that not sound slightly familiar? like a special military operation? it will be easy for them to go in but harderfor them to it will be easy for them to go in but harder for them to come out with a quantifiable and achievable aim and israel's aim is to clear out hezbollah's weapon and rocket launchers so that their own residents can return to the north of israel to work on their farms and so on. does waller have said bring it on, we are ready to fight you. we do not yet know how effective that fightback is going to be. but i think it could be a long and bloodied fight for ground troops in southern lebanon. it certainly was when israel occupied lebanon from 1982 until 2000 and, again, in the short war they fought into thousand and six. in short war they fought into thousand and six. g; :_ , , short war they fought into thousand and six. 5: , , :, short war they fought into thousand and six. q; , , :, and six. in 34 days they fought each other to a standstill—

6:39 am
linked their current pain to that of gaza. they said we will stop firing rockets if there is a ceasefire in gaza. there will only be a ceasefire in gaza have both sides can agree on the sticking point there is the withdrawal of israeli troops. hamas wants israeli troops out of gaza and the guarantee they will not return. benjamin netanyahu's government says we will not do that and we will not sign up to that because what if we find you smuggle weapons in again? there is an impasse there, a blockage that the americans, the qatari's and the egyptians have all tried hard to get over but they cannot quite reach it. how about hezbollah's sponsors, iran —— iran? there were those who say that in iran we cannot stand by and watch

our entire axis of resistance crumble. the israelis are taking us apart. hezbollah was our main torch bearer for the apart. hezbollah was our main torch bearerfor the islamic apart. hezbollah was our main torch bearer for the islamic resolution apart. hezbollah was our main torch bearerfor the islamic resolution in the islamic world, we cannot sit back and let them be decimated. we must do something. they called on us to help and we must help them. that will be the line of saying that. others will say we may be better off biding our time others will say we may be better off biding ourtime and others will say we may be better off biding our time and doing whatever we want to do further down the line. they will be the more cautious voices. :, :, :, ' voices. do not forget that 12 days after israel _ voices. do not forget that 12 days after israel took _ voices. do not forget that 12 days after israel took out, _ voices. do not forget that 12 days after israeltook out, all, - after israel took out, all, demolished the iranians consulate in damascus hitting the brigadier general who was in charge of co—ordinating the supply from iran, through syria to hezbollah, iran retaliated in a big way launching a barrage of roughly 300 missiles and drink directly at israel for the
6:41 am
first time, just using proxies but attacking israel directly. nearly all were intercepted. israel, the hawks in israel then said they need to hit iran even harder with a lot of diplomatic pressure from the west. there was a restraining hand on israel and they did a token hit on israel and they did a token hit on and iranians site. you must have been watching with real interest to see how israel had instilled its deepest agents in all sorts of ways, not only in iran but also in hezbollah and really went through those organisations with tremendous ability. they have. they absolutely have. it is at a chilling on has fuller because how do they communicate? they do not trust mobile phones because they know they can be hacked and drugged by israeli cyber specialists. can be hacked and drugged by israeli cyberspecialists. do can be hacked and drugged by israeli cyber specialists. do they return to a walkie—talkie? they blew up as well. it is not easy for them to communicate. so, yeah, when it comes to iran you are right, israel

6:45 am
is that hezbollah said from the very beginning that it was carrying out this cross—border exchange with israel to force israel into a ceasefire with hamas and that they would stop these attacks if a ceasefire was reached. there is no rhetoric in israel about some kind of ceasefire with hamas being the key to ending the cross—border fire and though escalation in the north. and in the meantime, the united states has been completely sidelined. does netanyahu really disregard the united states now, do you think? it seems he is getting comfortable with the leeway that the biden administration have been accused of giving him while they put out statements expressing concern for civilian casualties in gaza and now in lebanon.

israeli army is pulling out and going back and over and over again to different places in gaza. this is certainly going to have repercussions for generations to come in terms of support for group seen as resistance groups among the public, it is not necessarily taking this region to a more secure future. two years ago in a scene that was quite painful to watch, the elderly former boss of the chinese communist party was ushered out of the closing ceremonial of the party congress live on chinese television. why and what he had done to offend the present leader xi jinping assuming he wasn'tjust ill which was the official explanation we don't know. mr who certainly has not been heard of since. the massed ranks of unelected delegates to the congress

were given a fierce reminder that you do not fall out with the president without paying a heavy price. that is a lesson which a top chinese economist failed to learn a few months ago. in an entirely private message on china's social media platform we chat, he criticised the president. not a good career move. he has vanished without trace and there are very few images of him left on the internet. i asked micky bristow asia—pacific editor for the bbc world service for more details. we for the bbc world service for more details. ~ ~ , , :, details. we think he disappeared sometime earlier _ details. we think he disappeared sometime earlier this _ details. we think he disappeared sometime earlier this year, - details. we think he disappeared sometime earlier this year, his i details. we think he disappeared i sometime earlier this year, his last movements were in april when he took part in a conference and since then, nobody on the outside world has really seen him and how do we know he disappeared because his name has not appeared or disappeared from the organisations for which she worked for. he worked for the chinese

in years to come. over the last four years the economy has performed well, but not as well as it was doing at the beginning of the century, at the time xi jinping came and there was a lot of hope he would reform it, if anything he has gone backwards, back to an age which chinese people thought had seen the back of four ever. so not only has he turned out not to be a reformist is gone backwards, and perhaps backwards in terms of political liberalisation, there's never been a lot of that in china. in the early part of the century there was a small wiggle room for people to criticise, for people to develop and develop businesses and say things around the edges. all that has gone. is it part of a pen, leading figures in economic life in particularjust being knocked down and disappearing, jailed? it being knocked down and disappearing, “ailed? :, , being knocked down and disappearing, 'ailed? :, , :, , , being knocked down and disappearing, “ailed? :,, :, , , , ., being knocked down and disappearing, “ailed? :,, :, , , , :, jailed? it has happened before most famously with _ jailed? it has happened before most famously with jack _ jailed? it has happened before most

6:58 am
enough. you must be thinking exactly that now. the current prime minister benjamin netanyahu has succeeded way beyond most people �*s expectations. and although his gaza campaign has been hugely divisive in the wider world, and pretty divisive inside israel as well, mr netanyahu is switched everyone's attention away from the suffering in gaza. but the question of israel's future remains. once upon a time virtually the whole western world gave its full support to israel because it was a small, beleaguered outpost of democracy in a menacing region. nowadays, although most european countries still basically support israel, especially after the savagery of the october seven attacks from gaza, the tactics the israelis have followed have caused criticism and often
6:59 am
revulsion throughout the west. what europe says or does doesn't much matter nowadays compared with what the us does. and president biden has been an old—fashioned democratic party lr of israel. but neither kamala harris or even donald trump support israel to the same extent. and attitudes are changing in america especially among the young, an opinion poll last december indicating more than 50% of young americans thought israel should simply be handed over to the palestinians. fora simply be handed over to the palestinians. for a long time now mr netanyahu has been doing exactly what the united states asked not to do — and yes he has been pretty successful. but offending and humiliating his greatest ally again and again is problematic. and maybe the time will come when israel is

7:02 am
strike on an apartment building in the northern port of tripoli — with palestinian media reporting that a leader of hamas's armed wing, has been killed. the israeli military has not commented. this is the live picture looking over beirut at the moment. as the war in the middle east continues, the united nations warns that there's no more room in shelters in lebanon for people trying to flee the conflict. our correspondent will vernon has the latest. lebanon's capital pummelled by explosions, yet again. this was the scene overnight, one week on since the leader of hezbollah was killed. this conflict is escalating. and the suffering of the lebanese people is intensifying. the united nations says most of the 900 shelters that have appeared across the country are now full. hundreds of men, women and children are forced to sleep in the open. the civilian toll on this
7:03 am
campaign is not acceptable. all parties must do whatever they can at all times to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure and ensure that civilians are never put in harm's way. and tension is mounting over how israel will respond to this. last week iran fired around 200 ballistic missiles at its enemy, most were shot down. but america is concerned that israel's retaliation could open up a dangerous new front in the war. joe biden last night suggested strikes against iranian oil facilities were not the solution. the israelis have not concluded what they will do in terms of the strike, that's under discussion. i think if i were in their shoes, i would think about other alternatives than striking oil fields. on the northern border with lebanon, the sounds of war are never far.
7:04 am
for those that remain, the fear is constant. it's more than afraid, afraid of something for those few minutes. we have one year of afraid. there is a long time, we don't know when or how it will finish. more uk nationals have been evacuated on special flights. organised by the british government. another plane is scheduled to leave beirut tomorrow. israel says its offensive in lebanon will continue until hezbollah no longer poses a threat. for the civilians caught in the middle, the agony of war drags on. will vernon, bbc news. throughout the programme, we're speaking to our correspondents from both sides of the israel—lebanon border as we reflect upon the developing situation. our middle east correspondent lina sinjab is in beirut for us now.

7:06 am
it seems that the israelis are after any kind of resistance as people here describe it against israel. any person, any group that puts or poses a threat to israel not only on its border but even inside gaza itself. they are targeting hamas leaders here as well as hezbollah ones. thank you very much for that update. it is six minutes past seven. charlie lets bring the focus back to the uk. there were commemorations in the capital today. a ceremony will be held today to mark the 25th anniversary of the ladbroke grove rail crash. 31 people died and more than 400 were injured when two passenger trains collided at rush hour in west london. a wreath—laying ceremony will take place in a memorial garden near the crash site later this morning. children and young people in england with special educational needs will be offered nhs eyesight, dental and ear checks
7:07 am
in their schools from next year. all residential special schools and colleges will be included, to reach 18,000 pupils. here's more from our health reporter, michelle roberts. hi, rashid. are you ready for the hearing screening today? going for a hearing test can be daunting. not least if you are a young person who is visually impaired and has learning difficulties. this special residential school in south london as part of a new nhs scheme getting trained teachers to do the cheques themselves. problems can be spotted sooner and quickly referred to be treated. your ears are absolutely fine. i am having a hearing check and that is good. lily, who is 15, is partially sighted and has been worried about her hearing as well because deafness runs in herfamily. i was a bit scared that when i get
7:08 am
older that i would inherit that as well. so i really wanted my ears checked to make sure that i'm ok. her teacher did this screening which lily says was a far better experience than going to a clinic. i do not like going to the doctor because i find it a bit scary. at this school is more comfortable because i know everyone here so it is much more relaxed. tell me about what it felt like having the hearing test. it felt a little funny. in the ear. a little weird. but it was only in there for a couple of seconds so it was ok. and what were the results when you got the test results back? perfect. that is really good. she will continue to have regular checks to make sure it remains that way. we keep on top of it and if anything changes we know straightaway.
7:09 am
see that hole down there. it is a perforation. the boy with the hole in his eardrum had been anxious about having the checkup. it took a few tries to get in there and we also needed breaks throughout. we had to stop and follow—up the following day with the same people in the same place, having given him the verbal support and physical support. we got to this result. without that it would be another appointment in one month's time. he may have gotten healed anyway, great, but what if not? for students with complex needs they lose so much time off school for appointments so at least this appointment can happen here. are we ready? ready everybody? are we ready? staff at the school says it has been really beneficial for students. zoom zoom zoom!
7:10 am

london's fire chief said he accepts all the recommendations directed towards the service from the grenfell tower inquiry�*s final report. one month after the report was published, commissioner andy roe insisted there had already been huge improvements in training and equipment — but said he "worried constantly" about another fire on the scale of grenfell. 72 people died in the disaster in 2017. i point to dagenham a few weeks ago, a block that is effectively 100% engulfed in fire. i have seen firefighters, as i thought my own eyes on night of grenfell undertake unbelievable acts of heroism to get over 100 people out of that block safely. all the time that that situation persists, all the time that i have 1300 under mediated buildings in london i cannot relax and the possibility of a catastrophic fire, a failing building, still exists. yesterday we told you about rose, the jack russell—cross that was rescued from a cliff

final day of autumnal sunshine and things turn a little more unsettled and widely in tomorrow. but this is the pitch this morning. glorious colours in the sunrise the coast of the coast of north yorkshire. keep the coast of north yorkshire. keep the sunny spells with mild autumn conditions into tomorrow where it tends more... we have some cloud in our breaks of rain across north—west of the uk. still some shots in training between as well. a frontal system trying to move in from the atlantic bumping into this big area of high pressure that sits up towards our east at the moment. that will bring rain through overnight into the south—west of england but you can see where it is fallen already. parts of northern ireland and northern western scotland but rain laden patch out there at the moment, not as much as we had yesterday. in northern ireland things should brighten up particular towards antrim and down. much of scotland sees the rain left northwards and sunshine reappearing to the central belt in the southern upland. england and wales, long spells of sunshine here, a little early innocent cloud bubbling into the afternoon. not wall—to—wall blue
7:14 am
skies but fine and settled. top temperatures between 14 and 17. 18 towards the east. breezy out there and breeze coming from a southerly direction hence the mild conditions. this is the rain the moves in across south—west england this evening and tonight, fizzling out further east but with more cloud around overnight it will not be as chilly as it was last night. many in the south pulling up in double—figure is. tomorrow we see the frontal system working further east. nothing heavy initially on that band of rain on sunday morning some patchy light rain for northern ireland and parts of western scotland. some rain into western parts of england and wales. later in the afternoon.... much of south—east england is dry for a good part of the day following clutter and body skies across parts of eastern scotland. 13 or 14 head down towards the south it is 17 or 18 possible. into next week when things
7:15 am
turn more widely unsettled. we have a lot of wind arrows on the mat here for monday and tuesday the first area of low pressure brings sunshine. you can see this big area of green moving in towards france, thatis of green moving in towards france, that is the x hurricane. plastic conditions in wet weather through the middle of the week. but monday and tuesday, sunny spells and a few scattered showers around and then things do turn more widely unsettled. still looking at 17, 18 degrees in temperature is not doing too badly for the time of year but we could see some pretty wet and weather especially towards the south into the middle part of next week. thank you so much. time now is 715. next week, new rules come into force which will change how uk banks refund victims of fraud. from monday, it will be mandatory for banks to pay compensation of up to 85,000 pounds within five days. currently, most high street banks and payment firms are only required
7:16 am
to voluntarily compensate customers who are tricked into sending money to scammers. in total last year, almost half a billion pounds was stolen. there were around 200—thousand victims who were tricked or groomed into transferring money directly to criminals. here's what she thinks about these changes. i about these chan-es. think it's brilliant i wish that was i think it's brilliant i wish that was in — i think it's brilliant i wish that was in place when i was going through— was in place when i was going through that scam because ijust, i honestly— through that scam because ijust, i honestly pretty much had given up and i_ honestly pretty much had given up and i thought i would never get that money— and i thought i would never get that money back and it's one of those things— money back and it's one of those things it — money back and it's one of those things it is — money back and it's one of those things it isjust like every time your— things it isjust like every time your mind _ things it isjust like every time your mind flicks to it any think about— your mind flicks to it any think about it — your mind flicks to it any think about it your heart just drops and your stomach drops and you are like i your stomach drops and you are like i lost _ your stomach drops and you are like i lost thousand pounds and i won't -et i lost thousand pounds and i won't get that— i lost thousand pounds and i won't get that money back. let�*s i lost thousand pounds and i won't get that money back.— i lost thousand pounds and i won't get that money back. let's find out more about — get that money back. let's find out more about this. _ we're joined now by dan whitworth from radio 4's money box and jane, whose dad had several hundred thousand pounds stolen — most of which jane managed

7:18 am
50 from the bank that sent the money and 50 from the bank that received the money. the whole point of this is not actually to reimburse victims of fraud, it is to hold bank liable for the losses. and the idea is that will incentivise them to up the game in terms of fraud protection because we don't want lots of victims and lots of reimbursement, we want no victims, banks are held liable for losses as they will be from monday the idea is they will massively up the idea is they will massively up the game increase protection and stop people like jane and her family stop people like jane and herfamily becoming a victim. iterate stop people like jane and her family becoming a victim.— stop people like jane and her family becoming a victim. we will hearjane 's sto in becoming a victim. we will hearjane 's story in a — becoming a victim. we will hearjane 's story in a moment. _ becoming a victim. we will hearjane 's story in a moment. before - becoming a victim. we will hearjane 's story in a moment. before there i �*s story in a moment. before there was a proposalfor the �*s story in a moment. before there was a proposal for the limit to be highest off that is a hugely controversial point.- highest off that is a hugely controversial point. highest off that is a hugely controversial oint. :, :, . :, controversial point. four months of the planning _ controversial point. four months of the planning the — controversial point. four months of the planning the maximum - the planning the maximum reimbursement would be for £50,000, which consumer groups welcome. with just a couple of weeks noticed the consultation was announced by the

7:36 am
more than 2000 sites in lebanon. around i million people are believed to have fled their homes to seek refuge. many have headed to shelters across lebanon, but the united nations says most of the 900 are now full. the toll on civilians from this campaign is totally unacceptable. all parties must do whatever they can at all times to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure and ensure that civilians are never put in harm's way. throughout the programme, we're speaking to our correspondents from both sides of the israel—lebanon border as we reflect the developing situation. our middle east correspondent nick beake is in northern israel. let's speak to him now. would morning to you. we are trying to get a picture of these latest strikes. what is emerging so far? goad what is emerging so far? good mornint. what is emerging so far? good morning. overnight _ what is emerging so far? good morning. overnight here i what is emerging so far? good morning. overnight here in i what is emerging so far? (ems morning. overnight here in the far northern part of israel we heard a
7:37 am
lot of helicopter activity overnight. that was a constant because the lebanese border is just over the way behind the hills over there. has puller are reporting that they were in fierce clashes, intense fighting with israeli soldiers overnight. we do not have any more detail about what that involved, nothing confirmed that it may well be in the coming hours we get a bit more detail about that stop certainly more israeli soldiers are being brought to this border to intensify this campaign. as you were saying, charlie, overnight the israelis had a lot of different places, notjust southern lebanon but also the capital, beirut and for the first time we heard in the lebanese city of tripoli on the north. so this is an operation that takes in a lot of different places and, as we have been hearing, 1.2 million lebanese civilians are now forced from their homes. i million lebanese civilians are now forced from their homes.- forced from their homes. i don't know what _ forced from their homes. i don't know what information - forced from their homes. i don't know what information you i forced from their homes. i don't know what information you have forced from their homes. i don't - know what information you have there but we mentioned this suggestion that palestinian media are reporting that palestinian media are reporting
7:38 am
that a letter of the hamas armed when has been killed and i think that was in wonder strikes in tripoli. is there any more information at this point on that? conflicting reports but i think from what hamas media are saying, people who do the media operation for hamas, they suggest that that was the case. i would not say that with 100% certainty at this point. also what is not confirmed but is significant, this straight, you might remember a couple of nights ago in beirut was to target the man who was said to be, he was in the running or certainly the assumed replacement to become the new has puller leader. reports in the israeli media this morning are that he was killed in this operation so that would be another significant blow to hezbollah and a victory in the eyes of israel. but as for now thatis the eyes of israel. but as for now that is not confirmed. that is the latest this morning, charlie. thank ou ve latest this morning, charlie. thank you very much. — latest this morning, charlie. thank you very much, nick. _

7:40 am
because they torn talk of it as being like formula 1 on the sea and it is about cutting edge and coming up it is about cutting edge and coming up with new tactics. it has been a long time dream, for the four time 0lympic, champion, sir ben ainslie, to lead a british team, to this point when they can compete for the america's cup. and now it's a reality — and so starting next weekend, he will get the chance to rewrite history, and end a wait of 173 years, if sailing's holy grail can finally come home. ainslie's ineos britannia team, got the wins they needed off barcelona, to beat the italian luna rossa crew, to become the first british team in 60 years to have a chance now to lift the oldest international trophy in sport the america's cup. it can take hundreds of millions of pounds, to be competitive, with all the cutting edge technology that's needed and the british team, have been heavily backed by british billionaire, and manchester united co—owner sirjim ratcliffe and ainslie thinks this could be crucial when they challenge the holders new zealand, over eight days from next weekend. the kiwis are a huge challenge, they're like the all blacks
7:41 am
of sailing, but we've been pushed very hard by lunar racing, they're a class act. they pushed us all the way and we said before, whichever team gets through this final, they will be battle hardened and we can give the kiwis a good run. finally, just put into contextjust how big a moment could this be for your support for sailing in britain? it's massive for sailing. the america's cup is the only trophy we've never won in international sport. so it isa so it is a massive moment for british— so it is a massive moment for british sailing and for british sport — british sailing and for british sport. we won the last three races. that is_ sport. we won the last three races. that is a _ sport. we won the last three races. that is a strong finish. it puts is in a _ that is a strong finish. it puts is in a good — that is a strong finish. it puts is in a good place, i think, for the finale — in a good place, i think, for the finals. . . in a good place, i think, for the finals. ., ., ., ., , ., finals. new zealand are a strong team who _ finals. new zealand are a strong team who have _ finals. new zealand are a strong team who have won _ finals. new zealand are a strong team who have won the - finals. new zealand are a strong team who have won the last - finals. new zealand are a strong | team who have won the last two. finals. new zealand are a strong - team who have won the last two. they dictate the rules. how difficult will that be?— dictate the rules. how difficult willthat be? , ' . ., ., , will that be? difficult. enormous. but we got _ will that be? difficult. enormous. but we got there _ will that be? difficult. enormous. but we got there and, _ will that be? difficult. enormous. but we got there and, i _ will that be? difficult. enormous. but we got there and, i don't - will that be? difficult. enormous. i but we got there and, i don't know, it is all to play for.

7:43 am
the france international was suspended earlier this year after a drugs test found elevated levels of, testosterone in his system. pogba has always said, he didn't knowingly breach any doping regulations, and has blamed a nutritional supplement prescribed by a doctor. now who would want to be a goalkeeper? any goalies watching this morning, will really feel for leeds united's, elan meslier this morning, who was in tears last night, after what happened in the last second of their championship match at leaders sunderland. leeds were set to win 2—1 with time up, but a bizarre sequence saw alan browne's deflected flick, bouncing, past the frenchman's hands and into the net. he had enjoyed a good game, until this freak moment which left players and fans debating whether it was just a complete clanger, or whether it took a wicket bounce off a divot or something. whatever happened there. bizarre. a historic night in one half of hull. in rugby league, hull kr reached theirfirst super league grand final after resisting a ferocious

warrington wolves comeback at a rapturous craven park. james batchelor scored the first of his side's 2 tries. they led 10—0 at the break and survived a warrington fightback, to reach their first grand final which takes place at old trafford next saturday when they will face either wigan warriors or leigh leopards who play today. in rugby union, scotland's women take onjapan, in wx—v2 later today as they look to build on an opening day win, over italy. yesterday, italy bounced back from that defeat to beat wales in cape town. wales trailed 8—5 in the dying moments, and had one last chance, to snatch a win but were denied by some heroic italy defending. wales have now lost both fixtures, and must beat japan next friday or face relegation. in rugby's men's premiership, reigning champions northampton saints edged harlequins by 33 points to 29 at franklin's gardens. both sides picked up a bonus point, but it was saints who earned the win, coming from 22—14 down

the middle east will continue to dominate the news for some time and on thursday bbc news showed an interview by the international editorjeremy bowen the deputy leader of hamas. he asked about the attack on israel on seven over last year. your men who went into danger standing with terrified civilians who were sitting on the ground and standing over them with weapons, thatis standing over them with weapons, that is not a battle. we standing over them with weapons, that is not a battle.— that is not a battle. we have all seen how _ that is not a battle. we have all seen how the _ that is not a battle. we have all seen how the fighters _ that is not a battle. we have all seen how the fighters went - that is not a battle. we have all seen how the fighters went into that is not a battle. we have all- seen how the fighters went into the houses and spoke to the families, they ate and drank.— they ate and drank. they were shootin: they ate and drank. they were shooting them? _ they ate and drank. they were shooting them? there - they ate and drank. they were shooting them? there are - they ate and drank. they were - shooting them? there are videos. when they went into some of the houses none of the women and children were terrified. those videos were published by the israeli occupation. videos were published by the israeli occu ation. , . videos were published by the israeli occuation. , ., _, , occupation. janet contacted us with her respense- _

7:56 am
and i think talking to people is a massive part of that and we will certainly continue doing it. now for the strange case of the interview that wasn't. on thursday night bbc one was due to shower a prime—time conversation between laura kingsburg and borisjohnson, he is publishing a memoir next week and the bbc build this as his first major interview since stepping down as prime minister in 2022. some viewers told us they were unhappy about the idea of the programme theme that would serve to publicise a book by a disgraced former politician. but the night before transmission came the surprising posting from its presenter.

8:01 am
18,000 pupils in england with special educational needs will be offered nhs eyesight, dental and ear checks in school, from next year. we meet the campaigners raising awareness of living with a stoma — as charities warn many still face stigma after surgery. as charities warn many still face it as charities warn many still face is how are people jobs? it is how are people managing end jobs? how are they having families? that is the bit we don't always see. and history is made in the sport, that's formula one on water. sir ben ainslie and his crew are the first british team for 60 years, to have the chance now to lift the america's cup, if they can beat new zealand next weekend. three, two, one, go! celebrating 20 years of parkrun. how the phenomenon grew from just 13 people in their local park — to hundreds of thousands taking part worldwide. and good morning, it is a sign and male day ahead for many of us with
8:02 am
sunny spells developing. there will be more cloud developing across the northern ireland and the west of scotland. i will bring you more details about the programme. good morning. it's saturday 5th october. our main story. further explosions have hit beirut overnight, as the israeli military continues to target his brother in the southern suburbs of the capital. they were the latest in a series of strikes in recent days. since tuesday, israel says its forces have hit more than 2000 sites in lebanon. this map shows how the conflict has developed across the region. these are the attacks by israel ahead of last night — shown in red. the ones in purple are where rockets were fired into northern israel by hezbollah. there's also been an israeli
8:03 am
strike on an apartment building in tripoli, in northern lebanon overnight with palestinian media reporting that a leader of hamas's armed wing, has been killed, along with three members of his family. the israeli military has not commented. this is the live picture looking over beirut at the moment. you can probably see if you look closely there and we have seen this through the morning, plumes of smoke rising above some of the buildings in several locations in the city. as the war in the middle east continues, the united nations warns that there's no more room in shelters in lebanon for people trying to flee the conflict. our correspondent will vernon has the latest. at lebanon's capital, pummelled by explosions yet again. this was the scene overnight, one week on since the leader of his brother was killed, this conflict is escalating. and the suffering of the lebanese people is intensifying. the united nations says that most of the 900 shelters that have appeared across the country are now full.
8:04 am
hundreds of men, women and children are forced to sleep in the open. the toll on civilians from this campaign is totally unacceptable. all parties must do whatever they can at all times to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure, and ensure that civilians are never put in harm's way. and tension is mounting over how israel will respond to this. last week, iran fired around 200 ballistic missiles at its enemy. most were shot down, but america is concerned that israel's retaliation could open up a dangerous new front in this war. president biden last night suggested strikes against iranian oil facilities were not the solution. the israelis have not concluded what they're going to do in terms of a strike, that's under discussion.
8:05 am
i think if i were in their shoes, i'd be thinking about other alternatives than striking oil fields. on israel's northern border with lebanon, the sounds of war are never far. for those that remain, the fear is constant. it's more than afraid. afraid is something for the first few minutes. we have one year of afraid. fear for a long time, and we don't know when, how it will finish. and more uk nationals have been evacuated on special flights organised by the british government. another plane is scheduled to leave beirut tomorrow. israel says its offensive in lebanon will continue until they no longer poses a threat for the civilians caught in the middle, the agony of war drags on. will vernon, bbc news. throughout the programme, we're speaking to our correspondents from both sides of the israel—lebanon border as we reflect the developing situation.

hi, rashid. are you ready for the hearing screening today? going for a hearing test can be daunting. not least if you are a young person who is visually impaired and has learning difficulties. this special residential school in south london as part of a new nhs scheme getting trained teachers to do the cheques themselves. problems can be spotted sooner and quickly referred to be treated. your ears are absolutely fine. i am having a hearing check and that is good. lily, who is 15, is partially sighted and has been worried about her hearing as well because deafness runs in herfamily. i was a bit scared that when i get older that i would inherit that as well. so i really wanted my ears checked to make sure that i'm ok.
8:09 am
her teacher did this screening, which lily says was a far better experience than going to a clinic. i do not like going to the doctor because i find it a bit scary. but at school it is more comfortable because i know everyone here so it is much more relaxed. tell me about what it felt like having the hearing test. it felt a little funny. in the ear. a little weird. but it was only in there for a couple of seconds so it was ok. and what were the results when you got the test results back? perfect. that is really good. she will continue to have regular checks to make sure it remains that way. we can keep on top of it and if anything changes we know straightaway. see that hole down there? it is a perforation. the boy with the hole in his eardrum had been anxious about having the checkup. it took a few tries to get
8:10 am
in there and we also- needed breaks throughout. we had the luxury- to stop and follow—up the following day with the same people in the same place, - having given him the verbal support and physical support. we got to this result. |without that, it would be another| appointment in one month's time. he may have gotten cured anyway, great, but what if not? _ for students with complex needs, they lose so much time off school for appointments so at least this appointment can happen here. are we ready? ready everybody? are we ready? staff at the school says it has been really beneficial for students. zoom zoom zoom! yes! this is the best place because they know this space. being able to offer this, again, during the school day with people
8:11 am
who are very familiar with these young people is a massive benefit for families, for the community, for school, for everyone. nhs eyesight, dental and ear checks will soon be offered to all residential special schools and colleges in england, reaching 18,000 pupils. michelle roberts, bbc news. donald trump is due to hold a rally later today at the site in pennsylvania where he survived an assassination attempt injuly. during the incident, in the city of butler, the former president's ear was grazed and another man was killed. today's event is taking place exactly a month before the us presidential election. london's fire chief said he accepts all the recommendations directed towards the service from the grenfell tower inquiry�*s final report. one month after the report was published, commissioner andy roe insisted there had already been huge improvements in training and equipment — but said he "worried constantly" about another fire on the scale of grenfell. 72 people died in

the disaster in 2017. in dagenham only a few weeks ago, thatis in dagenham only a few weeks ago, that is a block that was effectively 100% engulfed in fire. i saw firefighters undertake unbelievable acts of heroism to get people out of that block safety. all that time that block safety. all that time that the situation persists and i have only mediated buildings in london, i cannot relax, because it had a catastrophic fire could happen. here's sarah with the weather. i think that is this morning's sunrise. and a dog. a picture with a dog on it. many of us good morning will see a fine and sunny day ahead. a little bit of mist lingering
8:13 am
around this autumn morning, but the prospect of sunshine developing. this picture in leicestershire. a beautiful morning for that dog walk. sunny spells continue for the uk, not quite everywhere. we do have a weather front moving in from the north—west. in parts of ireland and northern scotland, rainy patches but more areas of sunshine yesterday. moving its way in from the atlantic, low pressure from the west, high pressure in the east and this high pressure in the east and this high pressure was winning out the battle today. largely dry and settled conditions. patchy rain across western parts of the island, northern and western parts as well. most of the cloud will tend to break up. sunshine widely developing across central and southern parts of scotland, eastern ireland as well. a dry inglorious day for some in that sunshine. lifting temperatures to 16
8:14 am
or 17 fairly widely, 18 degrees in some spots in the west of england and the north—east of scotland. through the evening, that is where things start to change. heavy burst for south—west england and parts of wales as well. and parts of scotland and ireland as well. the cloud is increasing overnight. you may be hoping to glimpse the northern lights. you mightjust see them. best bet in northern england and northern scotland as well. further south and west will probably have too much cloud around all down to the system. during sunday, it continues this progressed further east, spots of rain in the morning in southern and western areas. other parts seeing heavier burrs later on in the day. a breeze coming from the south and pushing its way eastwards. much of eastern england and eastern scotland will stay dry for a good part of the day. temperature are fairly similar in the south today.
8:15 am
17 or 18 degrees in the warmest spots, but cooler across scotland on sunday. it is turning more unsettled next week, we can see the winds wrapping around that on monday and tuesday, showers, and on wednesday from the south, we have rain coming through, the remnants of the hurricane kirk. the monday, sunny spells, scattered showers around. if you do catch some of these showers, they may be heavy and thundery. temperatures in mid to high teens. further ahead to next week, we will notice things turning colder, but through the middle of the week, we may see the influence of that hurricane, moving to the south of us. pretty wet and windy weather into next week. enjoy fine and settled conditions if you have them.

8:33 am
who got the wins they needed off barcelona to beat the italian luna rossa crew, to earn the chance now to lift the oldest international trophy in sport. it can take hundreds of millions of pounds to be competitive, with all the cutting edge technology that's needed. eight crew including the cyclists who generate hydro power, they are more like ufos, the boats can fly above the water at 60 mph, 26 metres high, 20 metres long. they think the backing of sirjim radcliffe is crucial this time. the kiwis are a huge challenge, they're like the all blacks of sailing, but we've been pushed very hard by lunar racing, they're a class act. they pushed us all the way and we said before, whichever team gets through this final, they will be battle hardened and we can give the kiwis a good run. finally, just put into context just how big a moment could this be for your support for sailing in britain? it's massive for sailing. the america's cup is the only trophy we've never won in international sport.
8:34 am
so it's a massive a british sport. manchester united fans must be wishing sirjim radcliffe could bring them such joy, but his football project has been something of a soap opera recently, after their joint worst start to a premier league season, and throwing away a two goal lead in porto the other night. united sit 13th in the table and are eight points behind early league leaders liverpool. as they prepare to face aston villa tomorrow, questions about the future of manager eric ten hag once again dominate the back pages this morning. the dutchman insists the club is united behind him. manchester united co—owner sirjim ratcliffe wouldn't be drawn on the matter. as he celebrated his sailing team's triumph, he spoke to our sports editor dan roan about whether or not he had faith in the dutchman. i don't want to answer that question. i like eric, i think he's s a very good coach but it's not my call at the end of the day, it's the management team. united have to decide how we best run the team, in any different respects. they need to take stock and make some sensible decisions.
8:35 am
the objective is very clear — we want to take manchester united back to where it should be. and it's not there yet. the former manchester united player paul pogba has had his four—year ban for a doping offence reduced to 18 months, after winning his appeal to the court of arbitration for sport. thejuventus midfielder can resume training injanuary and play in matches from march. the france international was suspended earlier this year after a drugs test found elevated levels of testosterone in his system. pogba has always said he didn't knowingly breach any doping regulations, and has blamed a nutritional supplement prescribed by a doctor. now, who would want to be a goalkeeper? any goalies watching this morning will really feel for leeds united's illan meslier this morning, who was in tears last night after what happened in the last second of their championship match at leaders sunderland. leeds were set to win 2—1 with time up. but a bizarre sequence saw alan browne's deflected flick bounce past the frenchman's hands and into the net. he had enjoyed a good game,
8:36 am
until this freak moment, which left players and fans debating whether it was just a complete clanger, or whether it took a wicket bounce off a divot or something. a historic night in one half of hull. in rugby league, hull kr reached their first super league grand final after resisting a ferocious warrington wolves comeback at a rapturous craven park. james batchelor scored the first of his side's two tries. they led 10—0 at the break and survived a warrington fightback to reach their first grand final, which takes place at old trafford next saturday — when they will face either wigan warriors or leigh leopards, who play today. in rugby union, scotland's women take onjapan later today as they look to build on an opening day win over italy. yesterday, italy bounced back from that defeat to beat wales in cape town. wales trailed 8—5 in the dying moments and had one last
8:37 am
chance to snatch a win, but were denied by some heroic italy defending. wales have now lost both fixtures and must beatjapan next friday or face relegation. england's women get their t20 world cup campaign under way in the uae later when they take on bangladesh, and captain heather knight says they will not be looking past their group stage opponents after a surprise defeat in the semi—finals to south africa in last year's tournament. we have been in a really good place, played some brilliant cricket, and the first goal is to make it in the semifinals and get out of the group stages so we are not looking too much further ahead. that might be a cliche but we're pretty confident, we believe we can be on our best day in our challenge is to do that on the biggest estate, try to bring our

best cricket as much as we can. the match starts at 11 o'clock this morning. i'm sticking around because this next subject is close to my heart. we are talking about how parents behave on the touchline? they go on out to support the or their team and thenit out to support the or their team and then it can kick off? 1 out to support the or their team and then it can kick off?— then it can kick off? i have been at lot of under— then it can kick off? i have been at lot of under 14 _ then it can kick off? i have been at lot of under 14 putter-macro i then it can kick off? i have been at lot of under 14 putter-macro boys| lot of under 14 putter—macro boys matches and i've seen match is abandoned because flare—ups between parents on the touchlines, referees have stopped the game, even though there is this respect zone with a bit of string marking that, they have a respect officer on duty as well, at a different match i have seen a friend attacked with a bag, somebody has hit him with a bag. it's obvious that... these are rare moments but it's obvious that may be something more needs to be done. if not a great example to set to the children, is it?
8:39 am
unruly spectators are causing so many problems in lincolnshire, new measures are being introduced to make sure they set a better example. our reporter natalie bell has the latest. it is a sight all—too—familiar on saturday afternoon in professional football. and bad behaviour pitchside has been filtering down to grassroots level. this was filmed at a children's football match in the midlands. and now in lincolnshire, to avoid scenes like this, they are taking action. unfortunately, we have had instances over a number of seasons now where we have spectator misconduct, assaulting referees, fighting amongst each other, fighting with opposition coaches, so it can be quite extreme. respect barriers to prevent people going onto the pitch have now been made mandatory at all children's football games across the county. it is after an increase in complaints about the conduct of coaches and spectators. there will be fines if the barriers are not in place and match
8:40 am
is abandoned if they are ignored. some parents may be a little bit overzealous. you see enthusiasm spilling over. may be reliving their own football again through their kids. certainly, in times gone by when they were right on the touchline, sort of being dragged into the action, it sort of heightens at a little bit. personally, our team has never experienced any bad behaviour. i do think they are a positive thing and a good thing just in case. if they wanted to get - on the pitch, ijust still think that that they might. it is not going to stop anyone. yes, it is not going to really stop them going on if they wanted to. another requirement is having respect marshals at all games. just basically keep control of any parents may be getting rowdy, going a bit over the top end overzealous. all parents want the best for their kids and even at this age, they think they are going to be the next ronaldo or the next messi it is not always going to be the case. the barriers were already being used
8:41 am
by some leagues and the fa say it has made a big difference. this time last year, we had 16 instances of spectator misconduct in the field of play and today, in september this season, we have only had three. hopefully looking forward, if that trend continues, it will be a positive experience for football in the future. we're joined now by zack hickmore, a sports psychologist, and also david dunham who has been a referee for 40 years. using the top end, but working backwards, what is going on with people? they are going to see their children play in the match, what is going on? 1 children play in the match, what is 1o1in on? 1, , , children play in the match, what is 1o1in on? . , , ., going on? i mean, my view is that arents going on? i mean, my view is that parents care. _ going on? i mean, my view is that parents care, they _ going on? i mean, my view is that parents care, they really - going on? i mean, my view is that parents care, they really do i going on? i mean, my view is that parents care, they really do care i parents care, they really do care about the children and that can... when you care about something so deeply, it is quite difficult to regulate. think about anything you are passionate about and reasserting them a point where it's not easy to just behave civilly.—

8:43 am
you see different sports. i'm from a rug background and the way that if you spoke like that to a referee you would be sent home. your coach wouldn't let you play in the next game. but what has been allowed on the pitch at the game, when people see that, it'sjust the pitch at the game, when people see that, it's just not acceptable. absolutely not. there seems to be a fine line between cheering, getting very excited about your son or daughter's team, and maybe it's a draw, late in the game and the people running the lines, the officials, usually a parent from your team, you have one from each team so i've been in that situation and it's put me off doing it again because you gift of sight against your opposition and then suddenly that enthusiastic support becomes anger which can flare up. even if there is a respect officer there. definitely. as you go into that at
8:44 am
the top level of the game, you have a neutral official, but as a parent oras a neutral official, but as a parent or as a club member having to take on an official position, you have got people who you know that may be our parents, your kids go to the same school potentially in their hurling abuse at you because you have negatively impacted the game but also how their child is going to feel for the rest of the day. because you have called something sigh, which might have been correct. i'm not trying to pitch rug against football in any sense, but there is a very different feeling about what the referee says goes and you can't quibble with that for so how is it it has developed in one sport like that and in football, something else? it seems to be accepted although they don't encourage it, how has that happened? to although they don't encourage it, how has that happened? to cover a ve , ve how has that happened? to cover a very. very long _ how has that happened? to cover a very, very long time. _ how has that happened? to cover a very, very long time. it's _ how has that happened? to cover a very, very long time. it's been i very, very long time. it's been acceptable within the culture of the sport for such a long time, it has
8:45 am
been something that maybe allows the fans to become so passionate. football fans have a lot of fun, they care so much about the game, they care so much about the game, they get to fully experience and immerse themselves, there is no sitting back respectfully and nodding along or having a little clap, they really get to express themselves. on one hand that is absolutely incredible, it is why the game is so passionately followed. but then there is the trade—off and i think that trade—off has been quite damaging. fine i think that trade-off has been quite damaging.— i think that trade-off has been quite damaging. one last thought from ou, quite damaging. one last thought from you. how — quite damaging. one last thought from you, how much _ quite damaging. one last thought from you, how much does - quite damaging. one last thought from you, how much does it i quite damaging. one last thought from you, how much does it help| quite damaging. one last thought| from you, how much does it help a child, having an angry dad or mum on the sideline? does it help the child? ., , ., child? clearly rhetorical, absolutely _ child? clearly rhetorical, absolutely not. - child? clearly rhetorical, absolutely not. what i child? clearly rhetorical, j absolutely not. what are child? clearly rhetorical, i absolutely not. what are we child? clearly rhetorical, - absolutely not. what are we role modelling, what are we putting onto that child? there is an expectation that child? there is an expectation thatis that child? there is an expectation that is being put onto that child, the happiness of their parents, their acceptance of them, the judgment from a parent on the

results of the game of it all comes out in that expression. 50 i think parents are putting on so much by showing that negative emotion. 1 showing that negative emotion. i have to say one thing, at the end, when the dust has settled, i've never seen it continue. once the match is over, and even if the game has been called off, have seen parents hug and make up and it all ends peacefully. so it is that red mist murmur, which takes over sometimes. i'm interested in how it makes you feel because you were saying that you don't run the line, as you call it. we are going to have checked with the referee, david. good morning. we have been having a chat and trying to get your line established, we have been trying to get a final thought from you, how does it make you feel when you

volunteer again. _ it's just coming up to 8:48. maybe you are preparing to go out for the saturday morning football right now. here's sarah with the weather. iam i am often out on the side of a football pitch on the weekend and it stays like this that do make it a bit more enjoyable when we have got some dry and sunny, reasonably mild weather. this is the picture in leicestershire this morning. the most of us we will see some decent spells of sunshine blasting through the day. but there is a bit of rain in the forecast and that will move in the forecast and that will move in from the north—west. parts of scotland and northern ireland seeing a bit of rain at times today are courtesy of a weather front moving this way in from the atlantic. we have got low pressure out towards the west, high pressure in the east, it is high pressure that is largely winning out, bringing us that fine and dry picture. it is fairly light
8:49 am
and dry picture. it is fairly light and patchy rain so it will be butting them up in central scotland, also towards part of county antrim and county down. much of england and wales are seeing longer spells of sunshine. it's good to be mild with that breeze coming in from the south, so temperature is a bit above average for the time of year. highs of between 14 to 17, could be 18 somewhere towards the east. this evening and today, the cloud enable edge further east, could be the heavy bass. you make it eclipse of the northern lights tonight, particularly across parts of scotland and north—east england. not as chilly as it has been of a recent mornings. through the day tomorrow, we will be seeing this frontal system pushing its way slowly eastwards, so that will bring a bit more cloud tomorrow with some pics of rain, mainly in the west. some brighter skies towards the east but things are looking particularly unsettled, it could be quite wet and windy as we head into next week.
8:50 am
those people going up from parkrun will be interested. i guess they do it in all seasons anyway. 20 years ago this weekend, an amateur runner in london set up a race in his local park — hoping it would turn into a weekly social event. he couldn't have known it would expand over the years to become an international network of races called parkrun, which now attracts hundreds of thousands of people each saturday. our reporterjayne mccubbin has been to see what makes it so special. music it's not a race. it is a run, it is a walk, do it with your friends, it's being outdoors, it is chatting, getting your spirits up. all those things, that is what parkrun is about. today, parkrun is 20 years old. as a precursor to that we have i the bbc here with us this morning. we have been welcomed to manchester to see why this is about so much more than just running.
8:51 am
i want you to meet angela and eddie. they are two of our favourite people here at the heaton parkrun. after angela lost her husband she credited parkrun for giving her a reason to live. and seven years later for sending new love into her life. definitely, yes, he is very shy of course. this is the shy man in question? i am shy, very shy. parkrun brought happiness to both of us. when you don't think you will meet somebody, you do. changed my life, it's brilliant. look at this, a parkrun romance. six million people are registered with parkrun in the uk, and every saturday morning, across over 800 locations, they get up, get out, and get going. give us a parkrun pose. ready to go.
