israel had issued new evacuation orders shortly before launching air strikes on the city. the israeli military released this footage, saying it had targeted hezbollah weapons storage and command centres hidden beneath residential buildings, which hezbollah denies. the strikes on beirut are intensifying. the lebanese government says more than moo people have been killed so far. over the border in israel, hezbollah�*s response. the city of haifa was attacked by five rockets. ten people were injured by shrapnel. hezbollah claimed it had targeted a military base in the area. earlier on sunday, an evacuation flight for british nationals left beirut. the uk government says no more are planned. those on board described the terrifying ordeal of their escape. oh, it's been devastating. it's like a nightmare, nightmare.
6:03 am
it's like hell on earth. i can't describe, like, every day, every day at night, bombing, like extreme bombing. it's so scary, like, the buildings shake. over a million people have been forced from their homes in lebanon, and around a thousand temporary shelters across the country are now full. the un says the situation is desperate. this is a major displacement crisis, as you all know, caused by this situation. we need respect for civilian infrastructure and civilian population. unfortunately, many instances of violations of international humanitarian law in the way the air strikes are conducted. and thousands of people are once again on the move in the gaza strip. injabalia in the north, israel ordered 300,000 residents to evacuate.
6:04 am
the israeli military is expanding its operations in lebanon and gaza. but the concern now is the potential for a direct confrontation between israel and iran, which could spark an even wider war. will vernon, bbc news. which could spark an even wider war. this is a live picture coming into the bbc right now from beirut, the capital of lebanon. there has been a heavy number of attacks there overnight. especially in the southern suburbs of the city. israel saying it has hit hezbollah weapons facilities. last week we saw the attacks centrally in the city but overnight it has been focused movable in the southern suburbs. in a moment we'll speak to our middle east correspondent yolande knell injerusalem but first
6:05 am
let's go to hugo bachega in beirut. hugo, we could see smoke and flames rising over the south of the city, particularly last night. what if a situation like where you are this morning? situation like where you are this mornin: ? ~ ., situation like where you are this mornin: ? a, , �*, situation like where you are this morninu? , �*, , morning? morning, sally. it's 'ust after 8am here, i morning? morning, sally. it's 'ust after 8am here, and it i morning? morning, sally. it's 'ust after 8am here, and it was i morning? morning, sally. it'sjustl after 8am here, and it was another night of intense israeli air strikes. around 12 air strikes hitting beirut, and this morning at least one explosion already. we have seen footage from those attacks, that happened overnight, multiple secondary explosions, probably triggered by ammunition and weapons being stored in those locations hit. what we are seeing here is that beirut has become a key target of the israeli military, it is being targeted multiple times a day, every single day, in recent days. and where hezbollah is based in the city as a main target, i was there
6:06 am
yesterday, most residents have fled, there is a lot of destruction. also israeli air strikes yesterday in central lebanon killed 12 people including three children. the israeli military saying it is taking measures to avoid civilian casualties including warning residents to leave areas that is going to be targeted by the israeli army. but visiting beirut yesterday, the un chief felipe grande saying israeli attacks across the country had violated international law by destroying civilian infrastructure and killing civilians. you destroying civilian infrastructure and killing civilians.— destroying civilian infrastructure and killing civilians. you go, thank ou. it's a year today since hamas gunmen stormed into israel, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostage. since the 7th of october, in retaliation, nearly 42,000 people have been killed in gaza, according to the hamas—run health ministry. yolande knell looks back. this was israel's deadliest ever day.
6:07 am
exactly one year ago, waves of hamas fighters from gaza led a bloody attack on israeli army bases, villages, a music festival. snatching hostages. and it triggered the deadliest ever war against palestinians. with relentless israeli bombardment, most of gaza's population forced from their homes. a humanitarian catastrophe. there's still no end in sight. they destroyed our house and our life. hadas calderon from nir oz going back to the home where her mother and niece were killed. her son and daughter were kidnapped by hamas and held for 52 days before they were released in a truce deal. but hadas says they're still living the nightmare of the 7th of october.
6:08 am
her ex—husband, ofer, is one of dozens of hostages stuck in gaza, last seen alive in a tunnel by his daughter. we know that every moment his life is... can be gone. my daughter, she said, because she met him and he told her, "please fight for me, i don't want to be dead, to die here in the caves." whole life is on hold, hold. we can't think about future, we can't think about nothing else. repeated attempts by us, egyptian and qatari diplomats to negotiate a gaza ceasefire and hostage deal have failed. and every day in gaza brings new casualties. last month, an israeli air strike hit the younis family home in nusseirat, killing hassan, aged six, and his grandmother.
6:09 am
translation: i want to know why. we are civilians, we pose no threat. now in hospital, ahmed younis tries to cheer his surviving children with memories of happier days. they've lost all they owned and are in constant pain. translation: i want my children and my wife to be treated. - if i could, i would take them abroad. there is no safety. i hope from god that the war stops today before tomorrow. but instead, the fighting is now spreading in the middle east. and that leaves many palestinians and israelis desperately worried that world attention is shifting away from their suffering. let's speak to yolande knell injerusalem this morning. yolande, as we have been seeing, commemoration sticky place to mark
6:10 am

6:11 am
we had a message from one of the leaders of hamas overnight where he continued to praise in a video message what he called the glorious 7th of october attacks, saying they had shattered israel's illusion of its military superiority and capabilities. this morning with events going on adding to the sense of unease, we had had the, we had several projectiles according to the israeli military fired from the gaza strip, they say they intercepted or landed in open areas and there were no casualties as a result. since then the israeli military has continued with air strikes in the gaza strip, where it says it is acting against hamas sites. yolande injerusalem. _ acting against hamas sites. yolande in jerusalem, thank _ acting against hamas sites. yolande in jerusalem, thank you. _ acting against hamas sites. yolande in jerusalem, thank you. we - acting against hamas sites. yolande in jerusalem, thank you. we will. injerusalem, thank you. we will speak to you later and hugo as well, and we will be joined byjeremy bowen, our international editor, who had spent many deployment in the middle east over the years and he will be giving us his perspective on
6:12 am
today, the 7th of october. the rest of the news now with sally. the prime minister is beginning work with a new team in number ten, after the resignation of his chief of staff sue gray. our political correspondent, helen catt is in westminster for us. i wonder what this is going to be like for sir keir starmer, not even at 100 days in power and already quite a big change. i at100 days in power and already quite a big change.— at 100 days in power and already quite a big change. i think though he will be hoping _ quite a big change. i think though he will be hoping to _ quite a big change. i think though he will be hoping to draw- quite a big change. i think though he will be hoping to draw a - quite a big change. i think though he will be hoping to draw a line i he will be hoping to draw a line under some of the things that we have seen it recently with this move. so as you have said, labour has had a rocky start to life in government. coming up to 100 days which does not mean anything practically but symbolically, it is the point where people start to look back and start to form a judgment on how the government has been doing. a lot of the time has been filled with rows over the winter fuel payments, over freebies, rows over the winter fuel payments, overfreebies, and leaks of rows over the winter fuel payments, over freebies, and leaks of the claims about problems behind the doors of number 10, specifically centred on sue gray. she was the prime end of the's most senior aide,
6:13 am
—— the prime minister's most senior aide, their attention in number 10, claims of that, that she was holding things up, she was instrumental in holding up pay for some people at the power struggles, all denied by number 10 at the time. she has now resigned, saying that in recent weeks it has become clear to me that intense commentary about my position risks becoming a distraction to the government's vital work of change. she is not leaving the government entirely, she has been moved into part—timejob, much lower entirely, she has been moved into part—time job, much lower profile, as the prime minister's envoy of the councils and regions which deals with the first ministerand metro bears. a statement said that... be under no illusions, it is a demotion and sir keir starmer was prepared to sack herfrom government and sir keir starmer was prepared to sack her from government entirely. moving into sue gray's old job is

6:15 am
service. inquests into the deaths of 62 patients who were treated by disgraced breast surgeon ian paterson are to open today. paterson is currently serving a 20—year prison sentence after carrying out unnecessary and unapproved operations. the hearings will examine whether the procedures contributed to patients' deaths and look for any widerfailings. our midlands correspondent phil mackie reports. this is the disgraced surgeon ian paterson, arriving at nottingham crown court for his trial. described as charismatic and charming, jurors convicted him of 17 counts of wounding with intent and three of unlawful wounding after carrying out unnecessary surgeries on nine women and one man. he was initiallyjailed for 15 years, but the sentence was later raised to 20 years after being found to be unduly lenient. he'd worked at two private hospitals in and near birmingham and at an nhs hospital in solihull.
6:16 am
a public inquiry found opportunities to stop him had been repeatedly missed. my report sets out what can only be described as wilful blindness in relation to paterson's behaviour and aberrant clinical practice. paterson treated hundreds of patients who thought he had their best interests at heart. instead, many were left disfigured by botched or unnecessary operations. his unregulated cleavage sparing mastectomies, in which breast tissue was left behind, meant the disease returned in many of his patients. he operated on catherine coyne in 2002. she died six years later. hers is one of 62 inquests currently listed to take place. we want to know, did cathy have the right treatment? was it in the right sequence, and could have things been done differently? it also goes on to systemic side and about organisations. did they do the right thing? there are so many inquests
6:17 am
here that the whole process is likely to take at least 11 months, and unless there are any delays, the next week or so, will probably be taken up by legal argument before we get to the beginning of the evidence. for survivors of his botched operations, the hearings are expected to provide many answers too. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. the price of a first class stamp will rise by 30p to £1.65 from today. royal mail said the hike was due to "very real and urgent" financial challenges. the cost of a second—class stamp remains unchanged at 85p. a british climber who went missing in the himalayas for three days has been found. fay manners, from bedfordshire, and her climbing partner, michelle dvorak from the united states, were stranded when the rope lifting their supplies snapped. the pair managed to send
6:18 am
an emergency message at more than 20,000 feet, prompting a search and rescue. they were eventually spotted by a team of french climbers. a spokesperson for india's disaster management agency said the mountaineers were safe, but exhausted. thank goodness for that, what a story. thank goodness for that, what a sto . . , ._ , ., story. incredible, three days would feel like a very _ story. incredible, three days would feel like a very long _ story. incredible, three days would feel like a very long time _ story. incredible, three days would feel like a very long time stuck- feel like a very long time stuck there. , ., ., ., , , ., there. they have got a better signal there. they have got a better signal there than i — there. they have got a better signal there than i have _ there. they have got a better signal there than i have got _ there. they have got a better signal there than i have got in _ there. they have got a better signal there than i have got in my - there. they have got a better signal there than i have got in my house. | there than i have got in my house. and mine! , ., ,, there than i have got in my house. and mine!— there than i have got in my house. and mine! , ., ,, ,, and mine! good news, maps, you look like ou and mine! good news, maps, you look like you are — and mine! good news, maps, you look like you are out — and mine! good news, maps, you look like you are out clubbing! _ ona on a monday morning, that would be brave! if you were with us last week, we talked about the solar flame on —— flare on thursday, we are seeing the subsequent aurora, the view was very limited in the uk, because it was clouded. but a few breaks in the cloud led to some
6:19 am
spectacular images. the cloud will break up today to allow a bit more sunshine than yesterday but be prepared for downpours and for this stage in october it will be reasonably mild in southern areas. the wettest weather in the north and east of scotland, sound by blue showers working in across wales, —— some lively showers working in across wales, scotland and north—west england. heavy showers across the south coast to get your day and the way, they will develop more widely. northern england will be sunshine, northern ireland and wales as well, but the cloud persists in the far north of scotland where they will have the windiest conditions. elsewhere mainly gentle wind, coming up from the south which means it should feel a touch warmer in the sally moments. temperatures a little bit above where we should be at this stage in october. a batch of heavy rain will
6:20 am
work north across england and wales overnight into tomorrow morning with temperatures of 80 to 12 degrees. so a mild start —— 8—12. a mild start tomorrow, the grade will grind to a halt across central and southern scotland. a cold breeze to the north, to the south, a mixture of sunshine and showers. and then the remnants of a hurricane will pass by late in the week and we will have more that later. since the start of the month, more than ten million pensioners in england and wales have lost their winter fuel payment. while some previous recipients say they do not need it, a couple from hampshire say ministers didn't consider the impact on those with chronic conditions. they've been speaking to our correspondentjoe campbell. have you got your 3:00 ones ready? yeah. morris has been on regular medications since he was diagnosed with parkinson's eight years ago.
6:21 am
but the drugs don't help with one of the common symptoms. when winter comes on, i tend to shiver a lot. so if it's cold, i mean, my fingers go cold, my feet go cold. it takes me quite a long while then to get warmed up. so i end up having to put extra clothing on like this and, you know, fingerless gloves and all this sort of stuff. his wife, dawn, gets a fire under way to try and help. the winter fuel allowance has covered the costs of buying in wood in previous years, and the former nhs worker says cutting theirs and millions of others entitlement hasn't been thought through. there are so many people who have life changing illnesses like parkinson's or cancer, heart conditions, ms, chronic arthritis who through the winter months will particularly feel the cold more.
6:22 am
these are difficult decisions, but equally... scrapping the allowance for more than eight out of ten pensioners was one of the first major changes after labour's election victory. the government says it's committed to supporting pensioners and over a million will still receive the winter fuel payment. it adds its drive to boost pension credit take—up, the new gateway to the payment, has already seen 152% increase in claims. many others, it adds, will also benefit from the £150 warm home discount to help with energy bills overwinter. save the winter fuel! that's done little to still objections among labour's traditional base. and as dawn gets a warm drink for morris, she has her own message for the pm and chancellor. when you're sitting in number ten, nice and warm and cosy in the winter, ijust hope that your conscience comes back and hammers you the same way that you're hammering pensioners. give it back for this year,
6:23 am
and then look at what you can do in the forthcoming years to see how you can change the disability allowances, change the allowances elderly people get, and work out some way of making it easier for people who need extra help to actually get it. joe campbell, bbc news. we will continue to report on the winter fuel story.— winter fuel story. now, it's a chilly happening, _ winter fuel story. now, it's a chilly happening, not - winter fuel story. now, it's a chilly happening, notjust . winter fuel story. now, it's a chilly happening, notjust a i chilly happening, notjust a political story, chilly happening, notjust a politicalstory, but chilly happening, notjust a political story, but in people's aims —— now, it is actually happening. let's take a look at today's papers. the guardian focuses on the anniversary of the october 7th hamas attacks on israel, alongside the ongoing conflict in the middle east. the headline reads israel remembers its victims and intensifies air strikes. the daily telegraph carries an image
6:24 am
of 28—year—old emily damari, the british woman who was kidnapped by hamas a year ago who is still being detained. her mother is quoted saying britain has �*forgotten one of its own.�* the resignation of the prime minister's former chief of staff, sue gray also features on many of the front pages. the times takes the view that ms gray was "ousted", with an ally of hers suggesting she was the victim of a "coup." and "a bad gray at the office" is the metro's take on the story. the paper says her sudden exit has generated accusations of chaos and crisis within the prime minister's administration. it's been a busy few weeks for the red arrows who have spent the last month in canada, as part of their 60th anniversary celebrations. they've performed colourful and acrobatic displays across the country, including soaring high over niagra falls. jon bond, who leads the team, says it's been an unforgettable experience.
6:25 am
it's been fantastic. we've just got back from a five week tour of canada helping celebrate the royal canadian air force's 100th birthday. we flew past ottawa with the snowbirds for the opening of the british high commission, which was amazing. and then obviously the fly past of niagara falls. it feels fantastic flying over such an iconic landmark. we're all concentrating on making the perfect formation and the timing work, but i get a little peek out the front. such an iconic place to perform a fly—past. we flew with the lancaster, one of the only two airworthy lancasters in the world beforehand, before going on to the falls, and it was just a fantastic day out all around. it's always nice coming back to the home county to such a warm welcome. you can't really compare it to the niagara falls. it's a little bit different, but it was lovely to come home to loved ones and to all our

many food outlets in east london have been caught by this programme misleading the public about theirfood hygiene ratings. under the law, places serving food must be regularly inspected and are then given a?rating between zero to five to reassure customers. but secret recording by this programme in waltham forest has caught restaurants, butchers and otherfood retailers lying about their standards. one lawyer analysed the bbc�*s evidence. they have deliberately put up signs — or left signs in place — which don't match their rating. and that, to my mind, and that, to my mind, would be fraud. would be fraud. they know about it, they've done they know about it, they've done nothing about it — that's fraud. nothing about it — that's fraud. and you can read more about this and you can read more about this investigation on our website. investigation on our website. earlier this month. afc wimbledon says work afc wimbledon says work to fix its pitch in south—west to fix its pitch in south—west london is on track to be london is on track to be finished this week. finished this week. the pitch at the stadium the pitch at the stadium on plough lane suffered significant on plough lane suffered significant damage following heavy rain damage following heavy rain

6:31 am
israel is currently engaged in fighting on multiple fronts. we thought we'd take stock this morning and look at those areas. to the south, israel's operation against hamas in gaza continues. hamas — designated a terror organisation by the uk — launched their attack on israel on the 7th of october 2023, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages. over the last 12 months, in retaliation, fighting on israel's northern border has intensified. lebanon is the base for hezbollah, regarded as a terror organisation by the uk government. backed by iran, hezbollah has been seen as the most powerful non—state group in the middle east. meanwhile the houthi group in yemen — who are also backed by iran — launched attacks on shipping vessels in the red sea.
6:32 am
this led to retaliatory attacks from the us and uk, as well as israel. iran — as well as supporting all these groups against israel — has become directly involved. a number of its seniorfigures have been killed by israeli forces. in response it has launched missile attacks into israel — the latest and largest was last tuesday. as more players in the region become increasingly drawn into the conflict, our international editorjeremy bowen looks back at the last 12 months. the survivors of the attack on kibbutz kfar aza have not come back to live here. the ruins have not been touched. kfar aza, right on the border, was one of the first targets of hamas. low buzzing. they killed 62 people here, and took 19 into gaza as hostages. that buzz is from an israeli drone heading for gaza — later, we heard air strikes.
6:33 am
bereaved families and a grieving nation were promised total victory over hamas by their prime minister. a year on, hamas are still fighting. the ground around one house has been excavated — it was the home of nirel zini and his fiancee niv raviv — both killed by hamas. nirel�*s father spent weeks looking for his son's head — he didn't find it. a neighbour said there was a nightmare on every corner. we are still inside the trauma. we are not in post—trauma like people said. we're still here. we're still... we're still in the war. my victory — i will be here with my son and daughter, with my grandchild, and living peacefully. for israelis, kfar aza and all the other places that hamas attacked on the 7th of october have become repositories of a very deep
6:34 am
and still raw national trauma. and the horror that happened here has, for the vast majority of israelis, absolutelyjustified everything that israel has done since then. a year ago, israeli troops were still fighting hamas when they let us into kfar aza, three days after the attack. the year of war since then ripped away any illusion that the middle east could be peaceful without resolving deep—seated conflicts. hamas fighters lying where they were killed were seen by israelis as enemies, funded by iran to destroy their state. and the sight of dead israelis being carried out of the ruins brought back the nazi holocaust that killed six millionjews. these soldiers were being deployed
6:35 am
north, to the border with lebanon. a year later, israel and iran are in direct conflict — plummeting towards all—out war. israel's prime minister netanyahu promised a mighty vengeance. his defence minister said they were fighting human animals in gaza, and would act accordingly. this was gaza city before last october. hamas told the bbc they attacked israel to put palestinians back on the world's agenda. israel has damaged or destroyed nearly 60% of all gaza's buildings, according to satellite analysis. as the war in lebanon deepens, in beirut, there are fears they might face something like this. almost 42,000 palestinians — mostly civilians — have been killed. 10,000 are missing, thought to be under the rubble.
6:36 am
the estimate is that 40% of casualties are children. israel insists it follows the laws of war, spares civilians, and it rejects and condemns the accusation of genocide made by south africa at the international court ofjustice. more than two million gazans, the un says, are trapped in a humanitarian catastrophe — without food, water and medical care. as families are displaced repeatedly on israel's orders, bbc verify has tracked how quickly improvised camps spring up. the israelis say they're protecting civilians. the un says nowhere is safe. israel does not allow journalists into gaza, so trusted palestinian colleagues filmed insaf hassan ali and herfamily in al—mawasi — a supposedly safe area hit by at least 18 israeli air strikes.
6:37 am
insaf and her family have had to move 15 times. translation: were walking on salah . al-din street, when a car was hit, l and we saw it burning. on the left, there were people killed. on the right, there were people killed. even the donkeys were thrown around in the bombing and we said, "that's it, we're done. the next rocket will be for us." on the west bank, the other side of the palestinian territories, violence and killing have increased sharply. this isjenin, where many israeli raids have not deterred or destroyed local armed palestinian militias. the cemetery is filling up with their dead. the war in gaza has radicalised both sides. the west bank is already part of the pile—up of serious conflict in the middle east. there could be a bigger explosion here if israel and iran continue to accelerate into all—out war.
6:38 am
the nightmare of the war that started in gaza, spreading and igniting the middle east, is happening. a ceasefire deal in gaza mightjust cool the crisis and create a space for diplomacy. perhaps the war can end in gaza, too. or perhaps it's too late for that. so many questions one year on. that was our international editor, jeremy bowen, reporting from southern israel. he willjoin us in a couple of hours to explain why he thinks the situation in the middle east, the whole region, is at this point in time. ~ ., ., ., . ., ., time. we are going to reflect on a weekend of _ time. we are going to reflect on a weekend of football _ time. we are going to reflect on a weekend of football with - time. we are going to reflect on a weekend of football with john - time. we are going to reflect on a weekend of football with john as i time. we are going to reflect on a i weekend of football with john as the weekend of football withjohn as the international break to start. it was billed as a week _ international break to start. it was billed as a week where, _ international break to start. it was billed as a week where, how- international break to start. it was | billed as a week where, how would international break to start. it was i billed as a week where, how would it play out for the future of the

6:40 am
as speculation continues to swirl around the manager's future. even sir alex ferguson in attendance, as the game promised a lot but ultimately failed to deliver. i think the performance of united is very good. it's defending, but also in possession part. i think we controlled the game. i think it was in balance. we create some chances, but not loads of it. but on the other side also villa couldn't create chances. this is our fourth clean sheet, and that tells how we are in a good direction. the tottenham manager ange postecoglou described their defeat to brighton as the worst defeat he's witnessed since he's been at the club. the reason being they were leading 2—0 at half time, only for brighton to roar back with three goals in 20 minutes, to win it 3—2, danny welbeck completing
6:41 am
the comeback with that header. cheslea meanwhile played out a 1—1 draw, the points shared at stamford bridge against nottingham forest, with noni madueke cancelling out chris wood's opener. there was a bit of a mele that developed with a dozen or so players in the closing stages. it has been a brilliant start to the season for aberdeen and their supporters. they've maintained their perfect record in the scottish premiership but are still not be top of the table! they came from 2—1 down to beat hearts 3—2 to make it seven wins from seven. it is celtic who are keeping them off top spot with a better goal difference. they are top of the pile, and had to do it the hard way to preserve their 100% start, needing a late winner in this one too, as nicolas—gerrit kuhn helped them past ross county 2—1. celtic and aberdeen actually meet in the next match. whilst rangers remain five points off the pace despite beating stjohnstone 2—0.
6:42 am
there were celebrations yesterday as york valkyrie made history by becoming the first team to retain the women's super league title after coming from behind to beat st helens by 18 points to 8 in the grand final. saints hosted the match as a result of winning the league leaders' shield. but it was of no advantage as kelsey gentles, who got married last weekend, continued her celebrations with what turned out to be the winning try for york in what was a record crowd for a women's superleague match with more than 4,800 fans attending. and next month the first—ever women's amputee world cup will be staged in colombia. england's amputee lionesses have some remarkable stories of perseverance, with some of the team even brought together on the eurovision stage as they try to raise the £50,000 needed to get them there. as i found out when i went to meet them.
6:43 am
there's nothing i could have done about it. it's not... i'm not what happened to me — and what i choose to become. we're all amputees, you know, all trying to, like, _ achieve the same goal— of becoming amazing footballers. if you fight for something you absolutely love, then you're going to achieve everything that you're going to get. we're not disabled because we are more than able. ijust had a sore knee. i played so much sport and ijust assumed, you know, it was an injury. one day i came out of school and we had an x—ray and that's when you could tell on the nurses' faces, you know — theyjust said it's not normal. i had an mri, and that's when i found out i had osteosarcoma, which is an extremely rare bone cancer. a year and a half of chemotherapy, amputation, lung — two lung surgeries — and i nearly died from sepsis in the middle of it. so. . .just horror.
6:44 am
horror two years. i'm actually from syria, so i came to here in 2017. i lost my leg because of the war. when the war started, actually, just move from living room, back to the kitchen and back again, from living room to the balcony and the bomb hit me, like, straight away — without any warning, without any noise, without any, like, any sounds i had — itjust suddenly, like, just a second, like — just a click. yeah, so at 18, i had been offered a full scholarship over in america to play football. and then just before i was due to go, my cancer diagnosis came. and it kind of, you know, the next day wasn't promised and it was a dream that i thought i had to give up on. so i was born with a limb difference. | it's where my femur didn't grow, and my leg grew from my knee. i and at six years old, - i had my foot amputated.
6:45 am
you know, we're talking _ about the '80s, so there wasn't much awareness around disability as there is today. _ and how they met is extraordinary. right, time for a very special performance from someone i who's already become - a eurovision fan favourite. # oh, i am a mountain... sam ryder, he had written a song called i'm a mountain. called i'm a mountain. the song is about how people like me have overcome such adversity and are doing amazing things now, and he wanted people with prosthetics and with limb differences to be on stage with him and help him perform the song. and so he brought us all alongside him, and we were up there on stage, on the global stage at eurovision, like, having the most amazing time. we were having breakfast before we went on stage.
6:46 am
i said to them, "have you ever thought about playing football?" and they're like, "no." and you're like... "why are you not coming football?" i said, like, my aim is, like — my aim sport is running. so let me focus in that. "no, no, no, no, no — you — no, no, no!" she just like... "right, you're coming down, you're going to join this team." i looked at her and i. said, "are you crazy?" i said, "i haven't even - watched a football match." she laughs. and then i, like, thought about it a bit more, - and she convinced me to come i to the trials in november, and... ijust couldn't believe it, you know, just fallen - in love with the game. and they actually, they fell in love with it like i did. and it was a beautiful thing to watch. so they really love it now. next month, dima, shelbee, rebecca and annabel and the rest of the team are hoping to lift the women's amputee world cup in colombia but — as a charity — are having to fund the trip themselves.
6:47 am
we've got a good chance of winning the world cup and bringing home the trophy, so i'm really confident. i'm just so excited. we need to get there. and you still need a bit more money. we're trying to raise £50,000. we need as much support as we can. being able to come out with that — you know, that crest on our chest, and being able to, you know, stand with our chest held high, you know — just representing this nation that, you know, has given us so much. and we just want to give the best that we can back. football's been my world. it was always my safe place, my safe space. and ijust get to be me and show what i can do on a pitch. and, you know, i would never have thought i was going to a world cup, and to be going over to colombia, it'sjust going to be, you know, life—changing. can you picture yourself lifting that world cup? yes, hopefully! we will. we are going to bring it home. and they can. clear lake they can't. there is such _ and they can. clear lake they can't. there is such great _ and they can. clear lake they can't.
6:48 am
there is such great togetherness i and they can. clear lake they can't. there is such great togetherness in | there is such great togetherness in the team, some incredible stories as we had. a unique way in which they came together, some of them have been there for longer but their aim is to get to colombia, that is what they want to achieve and they came really close against poland a few months ago, one of the other really great teams in amputee football so if they can get there and get the money they need, they stand a very good chance of potentially winning the trophy and bringing it home. they are obviously having fun. loving — they are obviously having fun. loving it. _ they are obviously having fun. loving it, and that togetherness and they found people with similar stories, like—minded, they can share so much and they were saying how just with a look and a nod and a glance they know what each other is going through and that is what gives them so much and i hope they get some silverware to go with it, as well. . ~ some silverware to go with it, as well. ., ,, , ., lovely to have you with us this morning. we are talking about how the weather has may given us a bit of a dull autumn.— the weather has may given us a bit of a dull autumn. autumn leaves not lookin: as of a dull autumn. autumn leaves not looking as pretty _ of a dull autumn. autumn leaves not looking as pretty as _ of a dull autumn. autumn leaves not looking as pretty as they _ of a dull autumn. autumn leaves not looking as pretty as they should. - of a dull autumn. autumn leaves not looking as pretty as they should. we| looking as pretty as they should. we will talk about that in a few

6:54 am
october is usually the time of year when there is a flurry of red and orange leaves covering the ground, but this year the national trust says our usual autumnal displays will be a "mixed bag". that's because we've had such a volatile year of weather, meaning some trees may be hanging on to their leaves for longer. guy barter from the royal horticultural societyjoins us now. morning. can you tell us what has gone wrong?— morning. can you tell us what has one wron: ? ., ., ., gone wrong? oh, good morning. the summer has— gone wrong? oh, good morning. the summer has been _ gone wrong? oh, good morning. the summer has been a _ gone wrong? oh, good morning. the summer has been a bit _ gone wrong? oh, good morning. the summer has been a bit dull- gone wrong? oh, good morning. the summer has been a bit dull with - gone wrong? oh, good morning. the summer has been a bit dull with less| summer has been a bit dull with less sunshine and a bit cooler than we have been used to. it is still as warm as the summer was 30 years ago but sunshine is down meaning everything is running a bit late and the temperatures are now sort of getting to the temperature that initiates autumn colour. autumn colour is set off by day length in august and september so trees are set on their course to lose all
6:55 am
their leaves but the actual intensity of the colour depends on the weather we have later in october. we want bright, sunny days that are warm and then cool nights to close the plant down so that the colours cannot be reallocated to the roots but for the last few years we have had dull weather in the autumn, we wonder if it is the new normal but it is high to say. there is no need to despairjust yet. the trees are growing well and the weather could come right for us. so are growing well and the weather could come right for us.— are growing well and the weather could come right for us. so we might still aet could come right for us. so we might still get that — could come right for us. so we might still get that big _ could come right for us. so we might still get that big burst _ could come right for us. so we might still get that big burst of— could come right for us. so we might still get that big burst of colour, - still get that big burst of colour, but the pictures we are showing there, may be our viewers feel differently and can show us some stunning images where they live, but generally we are looking at a bit of a grey, mushy autumn, instead. if it is like the a grey, mushy autumn, instead. uf t is like the last three, that would be the case but the british weather is incredibly variable and even though we have climate change it is gradually getting a bit later, so i think it is... there is reason for

hope. my colleagues and our northern guide and say they are already seeing autumn colour with the cooler temperatures no doubt tipping plants into the colourful spell. we don't want heavy winds or heavy rain. leaves still on the tree could topple some of the weaker ones and it wouldn't do the autumn colour any good. there is nothing we can do about it, wejust good. there is nothing we can do about it, we just have to hope for the wonderful time and the trees and the wonderful time and the trees and the countryside becomes painted with yellows and reds. if only briefly because of course they will be falling in november.— because of course they will be falling in november. thank you very much indeed _ falling in november. thank you very much indeed for _ falling in november. thank you very much indeed for explaining - falling in november. thank you very much indeed for explaining that. - much indeed for explaining that. maybe there are regional variations. maybe there are regional variations. maybe people watching this money can prove this wrong. mar; maybe people watching this money can prove this wrong-— prove this wrong. may be the further north ou prove this wrong. may be the further north you go. _ prove this wrong. may be the further north you go. the — prove this wrong. may be the further north you go, the better— prove this wrong. may be the further north you go, the better it _ prove this wrong. may be the further north you go, the better it is - north you go, the better it is because of the temperature changes. let's find out. we want to see orton pictures this morning. details of how to send them are on the screen. please include your name and location so we can share them later on. we have to have some pretty orton

of a block of flats on friday. four men, aged between 28 and 30, remain in custody having been arrested on suspicion of murder. many food outlets in east london have been caught by this programme misleading the public about theirfood hygiene ratings. under the law, places serving food must be regularly inspected and are then given a?rating between zero to five to reassure customers. but secret recording by this programme in waltham forest has caught restaurants, butchers and otherfood retailers lying about their standards. one lawyer analysed the bbc�*s evidence. they have deliberately put up signs — or left signs in place — which don't match their rating. and that, to my mind, would be fraud. they know about it, they've done nothing about it — that's fraud. and you can read more about this investigation on our website. afc wimbledon says work to fix its pitch in south—west london is on track to be

now, despite a bright start tomorrow, we will see further showers blowing through as we head through the day. could be heavy, you might get a rumble of thunder, even some hail on tuesday. the temperature tomorrow still relatively warm at around 18 celsius. now, we've got further showers for wednesday, but it's overnight wednesday into thursday the wind is really going to strengthen. ex—hurricane kirk brings stronger winds coming from the north, so the temperature also going to feel much cooler on thursday. that's it from me for now, bbc radio london is on air with their breakfast programme and there's plenty more on our website and social media pages. back now though tojon and sally. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. explosions rock the centre of beirut as israel intensifies its air

7:02 am
will affect our weather, i will tell you how later. it's monday 7th october. intense fighting has continued overnight in the middle east as the region marks a year since the hamas attacks which led to israel's war in gaza. overnight, more air strikes from israel have rained down on southern districts of beirut. meanwhile, the port of haifa has been hit by rockets fired from lebanon. we'll be assessing the state of the conflict with our correspondents across the region. will vernon has the latest. one year on since the middle east was set ablaze, beirut burns again. explosions pierce the night sky. israel had issued new evacuation orders shortly before launching air strikes on the city. the israeli military released this footage, saying it had targeted hezbollah weapons storage and command centres hidden beneath residential buildings, which hezbollah denies.
7:03 am
the strikes on beirut are intensifying. the lebanese government says more than 1400 people have been killed so far. over the border in israel, hezbollah's response. the city of haifa was attacked by five rockets. ten people were injured by shrapnel. hezbollah claimed it had targeted a military base in the area. earlier on sunday, an evacuation flight for british nationals left beirut. the uk government says no more are planned. those on board described the terrifying ordeal of their escape. oh, it's been devastating. it's like a nightmare, nightmare. it's like hell on earth. i can't describe, like, every day, every day at night, bombing, like extreme bombing. it's so scary, like,
7:04 am
the buildings shake. over a million people have been forced from their homes in lebanon, and around a thousand temporary shelters across the country are now full. the un says the situation is desperate. this is a major displacement crisis, as you all know, caused by this situation. we need respect for civilian infrastructure and civilian population. unfortunately, many instances of violations of international humanitarian law in the way the air strikes are conducted. and thousands of people are once again on the move in the gaza strip. injabalia in the north, israel ordered 300,000 residents to evacuate. the israeli military is expanding its operations in lebanon and gaza. but the concern now is the potential for a direct confrontation between israel and iran, which could spark an even wider war. will vernon, bbc news.
7:05 am
in a moment we'll speak to our middle east correspondent yolande knell injerusalem but first let's go to hugo bachega in beirut. hugo, we have seen some striking images from the last few hours, what can you tell us about the latest situation? , can you tell us about the latest situation?— can you tell us about the latest situation? , , ., , situation? yes, sally, you have been talkin: situation? yes, sally, you have been talking about — situation? yes, sally, you have been talking about the _ situation? yes, sally, you have been talking about the situation _ situation? yes, sally, you have been talking about the situation in - situation? yes, sally, you have been talking about the situation in gaza, l talking about the situation in gaza, the war in gaza, and few people could have imagined that a year after those hamas attacks the war in gaza would still be raging and there would be another major war here in lebanon. beirut is very much at the centre of it, overnight more israeli air strikes, centre of it, overnight more israeli airstrikes, reports centre of it, overnight more israeli air strikes, reports say at least eight israeli air strikes here in the city. and again, dahieh, where hezbollah is located here in beirut, was the main target. we have seen footage from some of the places hit where secondary explosions were
7:06 am
triggered by ammunition and weapons being stored in these locations. i was in dahieh yesterday, and this was in dahieh yesterday, and this was once hezbollah's beating heart in beirut, it is now completely deserted, empty, most residents have fled. there's lots of destruction, lots of buildings flattened by these air strikes. that gives you the sense of the power of these attacks that have been carried out by the israeli military. yesterday, two israeli military. yesterday, two israeli air strikes in central lebanon killed 12 people including three children. the israeli military saying that it is taking measures to prevent civilian casualties, to protect civilians, including by issuing evacuation orders ahead of these air strikes. but visiting beirut yesterday, the un refugee chief felipe grande said some of these israeli air strikes had violated humanitarian law by hitting him for structure —— civilian

infrastructure and killing civilians.— infrastructure and killing civilians. ., ,, , ., ., in israel, people have gathering at the site of the nova festival where more than 360 people were killed and dozens taken hostage. a minute's silence took place at 6.29 local time, the moment the hamas attack began. in total more than 1200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage. since october 7th, israel has killed more than 42,000 people in gaza, according to the hamas—run health ministry. yolande knell has been looking back at the last 12 months. this was israel's deadliest ever day. exactly one year ago, waves of hamas fighters from gaza led a bloody attack on israeli army bases, villages, a music festival. snatching hostages.
7:08 am
and it triggered the deadliest ever war against palestinians. with relentless israeli bombardment, most of gaza's population forced from their homes. a humanitarian catastrophe. there's still no end in sight. they destroyed our house and our life. hadas calderon from nir oz going back to the home where her mother and niece were killed. her son and daughter were kidnapped by hamas and held for 52 days before they were released in a truce deal. but hadas says they're still living the nightmare of the 7th of october. her ex—husband, ofer, is one of dozens of hostages stuck in gaza, last seen alive in a tunnel by his daughter. we know that every
7:09 am
moment his life is... clicks fingers. ..can be gone. my daughter, she said, because she met him and he told her, "please fight for me, i don't want to be dead, to die here in the caves." whole life is on hold, hold. we can't think about future, we can't think about nothing else. repeated attempts by us, egyptian and qatari diplomats to negotiate a gaza ceasefire and hostage deal have failed. and every day in gaza brings new casualties. last month, an israeli air strike hit the younis family home in nusseirat, killing hassan, aged six, and his grandmother. translation: i want to know why. we are civilians, we pose no threat. now in hospital, ahmed younis tries to cheer his surviving children with memories of happier days. they've lost all they owned
7:10 am
and are in constant pain. translation: i want my children and my wife to be treated. - if i could, i would take them abroad. there is no safety. i hope from god that the war stops today before tomorrow. but instead, the fighting is now spreading in the middle east. and that leaves many palestinians and israelis desperately worried that world attention is shifting away from their suffering. let's speak to yolande knell injerusalem this morning. yolande, a day across the middle east where people are looking back a year but also looking ahead to what? yes, i mean, we have got across israel these memorial events taking place through the day, butjust to underscore some of the internal divisions that there are over the course of the war in gaza, the
7:11 am
government has failed to bring the hostages home, you have this official pre—recorded event that will be going out live and an alternative event that will be attended by large crowds in tel aviv, involving those who have been directly affected by what happened a year ago. the country remained on a high state of alert, there were several rockets fired out of gaza this morning and the israeli military has said that since then, it has attacked what it calls hamas sites across gaza, saying this was to thwart an immediate threat. hamas has continued to praise those attacks that it carried out one year ago, and civilians in gaza are continuing to pay the price of all that has happened. there is a sort of uncertainty that hangs over the entire region as people wait to see what happens next. israel has vowed that it will retaliate against iran
7:12 am
for that barrage of ballistic missiles, that was fired this weight this week, nearly 200 of them. we are expecting the israeli defence minister to travel to the us later this week to talk to officials there about plans. this week to talk to officials there about plans-— this week to talk to officials there about plans. this week to talk to officials there about lans. . ~ ,. , . ., about plans. thank you very much for now, about plans. thank you very much for now. yolande- _ about plans. thank you very much for now, yolande. we _ about plans. thank you very much for now, yolande. we will _ about plans. thank you very much for now, yolande. we will be _ about plans. thank you very much for now, yolande. we will be speaking i now, yolande. we will be speaking here on the programme to the uk's defence secretaryjohn healey in a backwater of an hour to talk to him about the role of the uk going forward given the situation in the middle east. we will also speak to jeremy bowen our international editor to get his take on where things are one year on right now. but sally has the rest of the day's news now. the prime minister has reshuffled his number 10 team after sue gray quit as his chief of staff, saying she risked becoming a distraction. the former civil servant had been caught up in a row over pay, after the bbc revealed her salary was higher than sir keir starmer�*s. our political correspondent iain watson reports. this is how close sue gray was to the prime minister. only last month she was with sir keir starmer when he met president biden.
7:13 am
she became the labour leader's chief of staff originally in opposition, with a focus of preparing labour for government. but after less than 100 days since the election, it has looked like labour is somewhat underprepared, with rows over cuts to winter fuel payments and donations to ministers from wealthy donors. at six, trouble inside the labour party... she'd been under further pressure when the bbc revealed she was paid more than the prime minister. i acknowledge that briefings to you are not helpful to the government. my focus is on what we need to do as a government to change the country for the better. the former labour deputy leader told the bbc it was important that keir starmer had the right team around him. it's often the case if you've been out of power for a long time and you get in, there are missteps, there are clunkiness and the point is to get things sorted out, to batten down the hatches and get things moving forward. the man credited with masterminding labour's election campaign, morgan mcsweeney, becomes the new chief of staff. the conservatives say the government is in chaos, with keir starmer having
7:14 am
to reshuffle his backroom staff afterjust three months in office. the prime minister will hope instead that the change of staff will now help him to overcome a less than sure footed start in government. iain watson, bbc news. two chinese people have been killed in an explosion near the pakinstani capital, karachi. the separatist militant group baloch liberation army, which has previously targeted chinese interests in pakistan, has claimed responsibility or the attack, which took place near the international airport. a man has died and three people injured in an explosion at a block of flats in clackmannanshire. emergency services were called to the property in alloa at around six o'clock yesterday evening. the scottish fire and rescue service is investigating the cause. inquests into the deaths of 62 patients who were treated by the disgraced breast surgeon ian paterson will open today. paterson is currently serving a 20—year prison sentence after carrying out unnecessary

and unapproved operations. the hearings will examine whether the procedures contributed to patients' deaths and look for any widerfailings. the number of breakdowns caused by potholes last month was the highest september figure for seven years. the aa says it attended more than 50,000 call—outs related to hols in the road. to holes in the road. the department for transport has been contacted for comment. the bbc radio 2 presenter johnnie walker has announced he's retiring at the end of the month. it marks the end of a 58—year career in broadcasting. johnnie said the decision was prompted by poor health. the struggles i've had with doing the show and trying to sort of keep a professional standard suitable for radio 2 has been getting more and more difficult. hence my little jokes about puffing billy. so i've had to make the decision that i need to bring my career
7:16 am
to an end, after 58 years. what an innings, 58 years, not a bad shift. we wish him well. what's better than seeing a sausage dog out for a walk? what? how about seeing more than a thousand sausage dogs out for a walk! look at these pictures! these are so cute. that's what happened in southwold, in suffolk, over the weekend with daschunds coming from as far as florida tojoin in. the event was to raise awareness of a spinal condition which is common in the breed. just look how cute they are. super cute! i just look how cute they are. super cute! i love _ just look how cute they are. super cute! i love that, _ just look how cute they are. super cute! | love that, 1000 _ just look how cute they are. super cute! | love that, 1000 of - just look how cute they are. super cute! i love that, 1000 of them, i cute! i love that, 1000 of them, that amazing, what a beautiful spot. i think matt is getting ready for halloween already with the weather.
7:17 am
never mind autumn leaves come and take a look at this, lots of cobwebs covering the field, thanks to the new and the clear skies overnight. it means there will be sunshine around tonight, one or two exceptions but if you manage to avoid the showers it would feel quite pleasant. temperature is above where they should be four october at this point. the persistent rain is across the north and east of scotland at the moment and it will sit ins northern scotland for the rest of the day. showers working through west scotland, northern ireland and southern counties of england and south wales. they will develop more widely through the day, which is why some of you will be caught out by them. showers in northern england and northern ireland and north wales heading into southern scotland, persistent rain and a brisk easterly wind into the
7:18 am
far north of scotland throughout. many will see sunshine and the wind reasonably light from a southern direction meaning temperatures will be boosted into the mid to high teens. heavy rain in the south—west tonight, pushing across england and wales to take us into tomorrow morning, that will sit across central scotland tomorrow. tomorrow effectively another story of sunshine and showers. thank you. a bit creeped out by those pictures! _ thank you. a bit creeped out by those pictures! i _ thank you. a bit creeped out by those pictures! i don't - thank you. a bit creeped out by those pictures! i don't like - those pictures! i don't like cobwebs- _ those pictures! i don't like cobwebs. this _ those pictures! i don't like cobwebs. this might - those pictures! i don't like cobwebs. this might freakj those pictures! i don't like - cobwebs. this might freak you out those pictures! i don't like _ cobwebs. this might freak you out as well. an undercover bbc investigation has found food outlets, including sainsbury�*s, misleading the public about their hygiene ratings. under the law, every place serving food?in england, wales and northern ireland must be inspected and given a rating between zero and five to reassure customers. but secret filming has also revealed numerous other places blatantly lying about their hygiene scores, as guy lynn reports. we're undercover to expose the high—street takeaways,
7:19 am
butchers and supermarkets who blatantly lie about their food—hygiene ratings. yeah, five star. not true. five star. five star? and nor is this. both places have terrible food—hygiene ratings. the law says that every place that serves food must be regularly checked by food safety officers — like these ones — before rating a place and issuing a green sticker for the public to see. five means food safety is very good — the lower numbers, serious concerns. one or two is somewhere that's got quite, um, serious food—hygiene risks, potential for food poisoning such as e.coli, campylobacter, salmonella — all those sort of things which are going to make you quite sick or even die. yet, time and again, the bbc found places lying in east london. like this butcher — where we found a trap suggesting problems with mice and rodents. don't worry. no problem.
7:20 am
on the door, it's a three for satisfactory. the truth — a zero — urgent improvement needed. on the door, it's a four at this cafe. but we know it's a one due to major issues with cleanliness. but you've got four, so it means you're... i'm good, yeah. so, what, it means you're, like, clean and stuff? yeah. and five on the door here, yet the reality is a one — after inspectors found potential contamination, and meat being sold months past its use by date. what's five mean? five means it's excellent. huh? one is a... no, zero is the lowest. yeah. five is top class. this expert says those who lied about their ratings could be in serious trouble. they have deliberately put up signs — or left signs in place — which don't match their rating. and that, to my mind, would be fraud. they know about it, they've done nothing about it — that's fraud. they weren't potentially committing fraud — but, shockingly, even sainsbury�*s was misleading customers for months.
7:21 am
five on the doors here, and on the official sainsbury�*s website. yet the real rating was a zero. inspectors found mouse droppings and filth at this sainsbury�*s. this takeaway denied deception, blaming staff confusion over the ratings — which have since improved. this butcher apologised, and said it would retrain staff. this cafe and supermarket didn't respond. and sainsbury�*s said the sticker and web information was outdated, have now been corrected, and the rating of this store has improved. what's worrying is we found 27 places misleading the public. food—safety experts told us this is happening in many other parts of the uk. other parts of the uk. guy lynn, bbc news. guy lynn, bbc news. we're joined now by food we're joined now by food safety lawyerjon payne. safety lawyerjon payne. that so many places have - shocking, isn't it? get money, jon. shocking, isn't it? get money, jon. we are all shocked by it, are you we are all shocked by it, are you shocked? �* ., , , , , , shocked? �* ., , , , , ,

a business takes a lot of effort, the cleaning process needs to be done, so sometimes replacing the sticker is low priority, you might say. that's why i think it is better that the inspector puts the notice to all that sticker up on the window, and there is some discussion whether there should be mandatory display. the sensible way is that the inspector puts the sticker in the inspector puts the sticker in the window and that sticker is required to stay there until the next inspection. it’s required to stay there until the next inspection.— required to stay there until the next inspection. it's true certainly in england. _ next inspection. it's true certainly in england. you — next inspection. it's true certainly in england, you see _ next inspection. it's true certainly in england, you see a _ next inspection. it's true certainly in england, you see a lot - next inspection. it's true certainly in england, you see a lot of- next inspection. it's true certainly in england, you see a lot of four. in england, you see a lot of four and five, you don't see lower ones but that's because they don't have to display them. we will give you five stars for that, jon! thank you to everyone who has sent us autumn pictures this morning. here are a few that have stood out: angie kruger sent in this lovely photo of some autumn leaves at goliatha falls in cornwall. the viewer who sent in this photo didn't leave their name

between zero to five to reassure customers. but secret recording by this programme in waltham forest has caught restaurants, butchers and otherfood retailers lying about their standards. one lawyer analysed the bbc�*s evidence. they have deliberately put up signs — or left signs in place — which don't match their rating. and that, to my mind, would be fraud. they know about it, they've done nothing about it — that's fraud. and you can read more about this investigation on our website. afc wimbledon says work to fix its pitch in south—west london is on track to be finished this week. the pitch at the stadium on plough lane suffered significant damage following heavy rain earlier this month. the repair work means the dons will be able to host carlisle this saturday. let's take a look at the tubes now.
7:30 am
now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it's a largely dry start this monday morning, but today is a day of sunny spells and scattered showers. we've got quite a fresh south—southwesterly breeze, and that will start to blow the showers through fairly frequently as we head through the afternoon, but perhaps drying out, becoming a little bit drier by the end of the day. temperatures in those sunny spells feeling warm at around 19 celsius. then overnight tonight — clear to start with, but a band of heavy, quite persistent rain will move through. it will shift away northwards fairly quickly, drier through the early hours into dawn tomorrow. minimum temperature — again, double figures — around 11 celsius. now, despite a bright start tomorrow, we will see further showers blowing through as we head through the day. could be heavy, you might get a rumble of thunder, even some hail on tuesday. the temperature tomorrow still relatively warm at around 18 celsius. now, we've got further showers for wednesday, but it's overnight wednesday into thursday the wind is really going to strengthen.
7:31 am
ex—hurricane kirk brings stronger winds coming from the north, so the temperature also going to feel much cooler on thursday. that's it from me for now. bbc radio london is on air with their breakfast programme, and there's plenty more on our website and social media pages. back now, though, tojon and sally. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. it's been exactly a year since the hamas attack on southern israel which saw gunmen storm into the country, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostage. we people and taking 251 hostage. have been marking anniversary we have been marking that anniversary already on the programme. let's take your live to the scene of that music festival. over the last couple of hours there has been a ceremony remembering the people who were there. they have had

7:36 am
the arguments in parliament, worked with allies and led the call for an immediate ceasefire in gaza. we were doing so again in the united nations a couple of weeks ago, and when we add our voices to others like the us, also calling for a ceasefire in lebanon, to give the un a plant that is on the table for a separation zone between hezbollah, the lebanese and israel, if there is a chance to path for peace and that is what today, as well as marking the horror of october the 7th last year, must be mostly about. but of october the 7th last year, must be mostly about.— of october the 7th last year, must be mostly about. but i those voices, our voices. — be mostly about. but i those voices, our voices, actually _ be mostly about. but i those voices, our voices, actually being _ be mostly about. but i those voices, our voices, actually being heard? is| our voices, actually being heard? is the message from the last year actually that the uk, the us, the united nations doesn't really have any influence in this? well, i have had detailed discussions with the

7:40 am
minister has a strong team across government and in parliament and we are a government determined and continuing to get on with the job. sure, and we would expect you to say exactly that, but it is not a great look, is it, when the person who has been appointed by the prime minister to run the operation at number 10 leaves thejob, feels to run the operation at number 10 leaves the job, feels she has to leaves the job, feels she has to leave the job so quickly. we leaves the job, feels she has to leave the job so quickly. leave the 'ob so quickly. we have seen this leave the job so quickly. we have seen this before, _ leave the job so quickly. we have seen this before, haven't - leave the job so quickly. we have seen this before, haven't we i seen this before, haven't we question about the centre of government becomes the lightning conductorfor wider government becomes the lightning conductor for wider criticism. but in the end, people understand government is hard. what theyjudge government is hard. what theyjudge government spy is what they do and not what they say. in this first three months we have launched great british energy for cheaper, greener energy. we have set up a new border security command, we have doctors back on nhs wards, introduced legislation to bring the rail network back into public ownership, give renters new rights and the new armed forces commissioner to improve service life. this is a government
7:41 am
getting on with the job of change, which is what people elected us to do. it is tough, we have to deal with the £22 billion black hole in the public finances. you will see that later this month but this is a government getting on the job, you have seen it each week and there is more to come. have seen it each week and there is more to come-— have seen it each week and there is more to come. does keir starmer have a un- more to come. does keir starmer have a tl’la on more to come. does keir starmer have a grip on the — more to come. does keir starmer have a grip on the operation? _ more to come. does keir starmer have a grip on the operation? you _ more to come. does keir starmer have a grip on the operation? you can i a grip on the operation? you can list the policies and the things he wants to do but the suggestion is that the people he has appointed, the operation he is running isn't really a properly running the government. we have had leaks, county leagues, that it is not hugely impressive as an operation with a huge majority, you are struggling —— we have seen counter—leaks. i struggling -- we have seen counter-leaks.— struggling -- we have seen counter-leaks. . ., , counter-leaks. i have sat on every shadow cabinet _ counter-leaks. i have sat on every shadow cabinet since _ counter-leaks. i have sat on every shadow cabinet since 2010 - counter-leaks. i have sat on every shadow cabinet since 2010 and i counter-leaks. i have sat on every| shadow cabinet since 2010 and this is the most unified cabinet i have ever served in. you will see the continuation of a government getting on to do the job that people elected us to do. this week the largest

increase in workers' rights for a generation. next week there will be a global investment conference to bring the investment we need to grow the british economy for the future and the week after that you will see the chancellor with budget to deal with the big hole in the public finances, lay the foundations for the future of prosperity and economic growth in this country. that is what the government is doing, what people in the end will judge us on. doing, what people in the end will judge us on-_ doing, what people in the end will judge us on. john healey, defence secreta , judge us on. john healey, defence secretary, thank _ judge us on. john healey, defence secretary, thank you _ judge us on. john healey, defence secretary, thank you for _ judge us on. john healey, defence secretary, thank you forjoining i judge us on. john healey, defence| secretary, thank you forjoining us. thank you. time for the sport. we saw said jim ratcliffe looking rather happy in barcelona but not after a football match. , . , , ., , ~ match. this was billed as the week that erik ten _ match. this was billed as the week that erik ten hag _ match. this was billed as the week that erik ten hag would _ match. this was billed as the week that erik ten hag would save i match. this was billed as the week that erik ten hag would save his i match. this was billed as the week| that erik ten hag would save his job with the two matches, one in europe, one in the premier league, both ending in a draw. there are smiles from saidjim ending in a draw. there are smiles from said jim ratcliffe and he said last week the decision around
7:43 am
sacking erik ten hag is not his call. but i think the speculation will not end with the way the week has played out for erik ten hag. good morning. the manchester united manager erik ten hag says everyone at the club is "on board together and on one page" despite their worst start to a premier league season. united captain bruno fernandes came clostest to scoring against villa when his free kick hit the bar. and the manager's coments will do little to quell the speculation — united co—owner sirjim ratcliffe was in the stands yesterday, he said last week the decision to sack ten hag was not his call. former united manager sir alex ferguson was also in the stands yesterday to watch this stalemate, as ten hag insists his team are going in the right direction. i think the performance of united is very good. it's defending, but also in possession part. i think we controlled the game. i think it was in balance. we create some chances, but not loads of it. but on the other side also villa couldn't create chances.
7:44 am
this is our fourth clean sheet, and that tells how we are in a good direction. and now also we improve defending the counter—attacks, and that shows we are in a good direction. the tottenham manager ange postecoglou labelled their defeat to brighton — the worst of his time with the club. they were leading 2—0 at half time, only for brighton to roar back with three goals in 20 minutes, to win it 3—2, danny welbeck completing the comeback with that header. the points were shared at stamford bridge as chelsea and nottingham forest played out a one all draw, with none madueke cancelling out chris wood's opener. ——and nottingham forest played out a 1—1 draw, with noni madueke cancelling out chris wood's opener. there was a bit of a mellee that developed with a doezen or so players in the closing stages. chelsea remain in the top four. it has been the perfect start to the season for aberdeen who maintained their winning run in the scottish premiership but will be a little frustrated not to see themselves top
7:45 am
of the table! they came from 2—1 down to beat hearts 3—2 to make it seven wins from seven. it is celtic who are keeping them off top spot with a better goal difference. they are top of the pile, and had to do it the hard way to preserve their 100% start, needing a late winner in this one too, as nicolas—gerrit kuhn helped them past ross county 2—1. celtic and aberdeen actually meet in the next match. rangers remain five points off the pace despite beating stjohnstone 2—0. there were celebrations yesterday as york valkyrie made history by becoming the first team to retain the women's super league title after coming from behind to beat st helens by 18 points to 8 in the grand final. saints hosted the match as a result of winning the league leaders' shield. but it was of no advantage as kelsey gentles, who got married last weekend, continued her celebrations with what turned out to be the winning try for york in what was a record crowd for a women's super league match with more than 4,800 fans attending.
7:46 am
england have begun their test series with pakistan this morning in multan. meanwhile at the women's t20 world cup, scotland slipped to tehir meanwhile at the women's t20 world cup, scotland slipped to their second defeat of the tournament having made just 99 against the west indies — that allowed them to knock off the required runs with ease as they won by six wickets. it leaves the scots bottom of group b without a win, and it doesn't get any easier for scotland as they face south africa on wednesday. england women will be aiming to make it two wins from two later when they take on south africa in sharjah. that will be their second match of the tournament so far. matches are coming thick and fast. back to you. thank you very much indeed. we have been talking about how the weather has not been great in the run—up to

become even heavier more persistent. when's the strongest in the far north of scotland, easterly but with southerly winds elsewhere, temperatures up to 18 or 19 degrees. when yesterday. three tonight, a batch of heavy rain will work its way across england and wales. on the shift but will ground to a halt across parts of central scotland through tomorrow so it could be a wet day here. elsewhere, sunshine and showers, and if anything tomorrow, especially in england and wales, more in the way of showers. northern scotland more wales, more in the way of showers. northern scotland more dry wales, more in the way of showers. northern scotland more dry weather. thank you very much indeed. ccampaigners, community champions and inspirationalfigures will be celebrated at the women of the year awards taking place later today. seven female sub—postmasters will also attend the event, having been recognised for their tireless campaigning for justice for all victims of the post office scandal. let's speak to them now. morning to you all. it is great to
