our headlines today. a life or death choice — millions are urged to evacuate as hurricane milton heads towards florida. authorities say the storm surges are not survivable. post office chief executive nick read is due in front of the public inquiry into the horizon it scandal today. delays, roadworks and trafficjams — familiar frustrations for drivers. and now the best and worst motorways have been named in a transport survey. i'll reveal which ones they are. after reaching their fundraising target to get to the amputee world cup in colombia we catch up with the lionesses as they prepare for the tournament with a former england captain. having been invited to chelsea's training ground, they watched chelsea women in action last night as they beat real madrid in the champions league, with the team bidding to win the trophy for the first time.

good morning. a fairly cloudy start with rain across the north and east but later it will brighten up in the far north of the country and north of the far south with a few showers but it will turn colder for us all. all the details shortly. it's wednesday 9th october. millions of americans have been urged to evacuate parts of florida ahead of the arrival of hurricane milton. it strengthened again overnight to become a category 5 storm — the highest rating — and is expected to make landfall in the next 2a hours. forecasters say milton has the potential to be one of the most destructive hurricanes ever recorded in the region — and presidentjoe biden has described the situation in florida as "a matter of life and death". our reporter steve knibbs has more. siren. an evacuation siren on the streets of redington shores in florida. debris is still piled up after storm helene two weeks ago, and now people are being told they have to leave again. mandatory evacuation orders are in place for nearly

six million people. as hurricane milton approaches, many are heading to safety as authorities warn that storm surges could be up to 15 feet — with warnings that if you stay when told to leave, you may not survive. we can rebuild homes, we can rebuild businesses, we can get people back on their feet, but only if they're safe and they survive the storm. we're not going to be able to bring people back who who stay behind in 10 or 15 feet of storm surge. hurricane milton is intensifying — now a category five — with speeds around 165mph. this crew from the national oceanic and atmospheric association — dubbed hurricane hunters — flew through it yesterday and felt its power. damn! on the ground, residents are doing what they can to protect their properties before they leave. but there's real fear here. apprehensive, really anxious. we have two young kids.

it's scary. over 50 counties are now under a state of emergency, but not everyone is deciding to flee. we got four five—gallon cans. tommy hall and his family live near venice beach, and they've chosen to weather the incoming storm. we got gas, food, two generators, portable air conditioners to push around to room to room... so i think we might do ok. soldiers from florida's national guard have been working to clean up debris from storm helene, which should help in the aftermath of milton. as floridians wait, mexico has already had a taste of milton's strength, as it brought flooding along the coast and downed power lines and trees. but the us is bracing itself for much worse, with officials saying that storm milton has the potential to be

one of the most destructive hurricanes on record when it makes landfall today. steve knibbs, bbc news. scary stuff, isn't it? one of the areas that's expected to face the worst impacts of hurricane milton is tampa on florida's gulf coast. our correspondent, gordon corera, is there. here in tampa, there is a sense of time running out ahead of milton's really now imminent arrival. the streets in the city have been eerily quiet — hardly anyone�*s around. the few people who we have seen have been preparing their homes or their offices for the storm — boarding things up, maybe moving things around. i think one of the things that's quite shocking is, just as you can see around me, the devastation which is still here from hurricane helene, which hit two weeks ago. and there's an enormous amount of debris around, particularly where i am in tampa. and the concern is that the massive surge which will come with milton

could lift up all this debris, move it around, cause even more damage. and the fear is that the surge with milton could be 12 feet or perhaps even more high compared to about half that or less with helene. so it could be very significant indeed. there's a lot of work going on already to think about how the community will respond afterwards. but first of all, they've got to get through that storm, which is nowjust really hours away from arriving here. bbc right across this story in the hours ahead and in about half an hours ahead and in about half an hour we will make contact with a radio presenter who is in tampa bay and with a meteorologist who will explain the atmospheric science around this particular hurricane. sally has the rest of the news. the post office chief executive, nick read, is due to begin giving evidence today at the inquiry into the horizon it scandal. mr read joined the post office in september 2019, but has been accused by sub—postmasters of presiding over an insufficient level of change at the organisation.

our business reporter peter ruddick has the details. he was the man tasked with moving the post office from scandal to success. but nick read has been accused of leading an organisation that has failed to change. a regular in the inquiry public gallery over recent months, today it's his turn to face questions. nick read joined the post office as the permanent replacement for paula vennells in september 2019. within months, he agreed to settle a case brought by a group of subpostmasters led by sir alan bates. that opened the door to financial redress for victims, and the first scheme was launched in april 2020. cheering. but, more than four years on, many are still waiting for their money. nick read will be asked why the process is taking so long, and if it should really be his organisation handling it. he will also face accusations he has

been too focused on his own pay, and that some in his team still think the post office is the victim. keith bell was falsely prosecuted and lost his life savings. like many, he's eagerly following the inquiry, and wants nick read and others to put subpostmasters back at the heart of the post office. ijust hope he takes the opportunity now to try and come clean, answer the questions that are put to him, and not sort of go around them. you know, um, just take the chance to put the record straight and say it as it was. let's hope they've learnt some lessons. hopefully the postmasters will be more involved with the actual system today won't be nick read's first time in the firing line — he's been quizzed by mps after being accused of bullying a female colleague, and presiding over a toxic culture. mr read denied the claims, and an internal report cleared him of wrongdoing. but criticism remains — and, after being brought into the post office as the face of change, the next three days could

well determine nick read's legacy. peter ruddick, bbc news. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has made a direct appeal to the lebanese people to throw out hezbollah and avoid "destruction and suffering like we see in gaza". our middle east correspondent hugo bachega joins us now from beirut. how has this warning been received in lebanon? i how has this warning been received in lebanon?— in lebanon? i don't think this will have any resonance _ in lebanon? i don't think this will have any resonance here - in lebanon? i don't think this will have any resonance here because in lebanon? i don't think this will i have any resonance here because a lot of people here think that israel is fighting not only against hezbollah but against lebanon. they talk about civilian sites that have been hit, the growing number of medical teams, been hit, the growing number of medicalteams, rescue been hit, the growing number of medical teams, rescue workers being killed as a result of israeli attacks. so i don't think people will pay any attention to what prime minister netanyahu has to say. obviously hezbollah is more than just militia, it is a political party with representation in parliament. it is a social movement

with significant support. you may be able to weaken hezbollah but the ideology will resist, it will not disappear from this country because of the conflict happening now. having said that, because of the divisions here in lebanon i think a lot of people who are critical of hezbollah will not be unhappy to see a weakened one. this is described as a weakened one. this is described as a state within a state, powerful, influential, supported by iran but that doesn't mean that people are in favour of israel or supporting what israel is doing here. obviously more than 2000 people have been killed in this conflict and 1.2 million have been forced to flee their homes so a deepening crisis in lebanon.- deepening crisis in lebanon. hugo, thank yom — the fbi has arrested a man on suspicion of plotting to carry out an attack on the day of the us presidential election. nasir ahmad tawhedi — who is originally from afghanistan — allegedly planned an attack for november 5th, when hundreds of millions of americans

will head to the polls. he was detained after he attempted to buy guns from undercover agents. in a statement, the fbi said he was motivated by isis. gas thefts in england, scotland and wales have risen by 25% over the past year. thefts occur when people tamper with a meter, or bypass it completely so it is doesn't record how much energy is being used. tampering with a gas meter is extremely dangerous as it leads to leaks, and kills or injures 280 people every year, according to stay energy safe. the advertising watchdog has ruled against six of the uk's biggest broadband providers after they all failed to make mid—contract price increases clear to customers. the advertising standards authority says bt, ee, plusnet, talktalk, o2 and virgin media broadband misled consumers by placing important information about price rises in less prominent areas of their website. parents who have experienced the loss of a baby early in pregnancy will now be able

to apply to have their child's life officially recognised, regardless of how much time has passed. the government has announced it will extend the baby loss certificate scheme, which launched earlier this year for those who had experienced a loss since september 2018. our health correspondent, sophie hutchinson, reports. it's estimated that every year there are more than a quarter of a million miscarriages in the uk. charlie day was heartbroken when she lost a baby — a boy named rory — at 11 weeks this summer. she says receiving an official certificate made the world of difference. it's literally changed the whole grieving process for us. having that document, um, it has meant that we're notjust a statistic — actually, rory existed, and we were able to name our baby, we were able to be placed on that document as his parents. and for us, that's just really been incredible that our baby's life has recognition.

previous rules restricted certificates to babies lost from september 2018 onwards. but from today, new rules mean that anyone in england over the age of 16 whose pregnancy ended before 2a weeks can now apply for a certificate — regardless of how long ago they lost their baby. the certificates include the mother, father and baby's names, and the date of the loss. former children's tv presenter baroness floella benjamin experienced three miscarriages. she introduced a private members' bill in the house of lords in 2017 for ba by—loss certificates. she told me of herjoy about the change in the rules. i had three miscarriages and i think about them all the time when it comes to that certain time of the year, and i think there are lots of women like me — and men, because men suffer, too. when my husband and i — we used to cry together when i went through a loss. and i know there are men out there who will be pleased that

finally there can be some sort of recognition, because the grief never leaves you. and will you be applying for certificates for the three babies that you lost? not everybody wants that certificate, but for those who feel as if they can have something that recognises their loss, why not? you don't have to do it if you don't want to, but i certainly will be applying. the certificates are an option for all eligible parents, and are provided free of charge by the nhs. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. conservative mps will decide later which of the three candidates vying to lead the party will make it through to a ballot of party members. it comes after tom tugendhat was eliminated yesterday. our political correspondent, damian grammaticas, is in westminster. is the end of this competition merely insight?— is the end of this competition

for those. badenoch, both of whom i fighting forthose. robert badenoch, both of whom i fighting for those. robertjenrick was in the lead in the first two rounds but went backwards. that is not a good place to be but his campaign is trying to sound positive. kemi badenoch supporters argue she is the most popular, or has been for some time, with party members and she should pick up those votes. it will all be decided at 3:30pm today and party members have until the end of the month to cast their ballot. thank you very much. with almost 60,000 entries, winning a prize at the wildlife photographer of the year awards is not easy, but the victorious images are stunning and we can show you a few of them now. they include this image of a leopard below sea ice. isn't that gorgeous? it was taken by matthew smith and was the winner in the underwater category. here's another photo, taken by robin darius conz, of a tiger on a hillside overlooking a town. looking very relaxed. igor metelskiy took this image

of a lynx stretching in the sun. isn't it funny how you see all cats doing that, all the same? he positioned his camera near the footprints of potential prey to get the shot. the winner of the young photographer competition was 17—year—old alexis tinker—tsavalas, from germany, for his close—up of fruiting slime mould and a tiny springtail. which one is which?! no idea. he used a technique called focus—stacking and combined 36 images into one. isn't that great? are you ready for the top prize photo? here it is. marine conservation photojournalist shane gross captured this shot of a swarm of toad tadpoles after snorkelling for hours through lily pads in cedar lake on vancouver island in canada. it won him the title of wildlife photographer of the year.

"stay and you die" is the guardian's headline, as the mayor of tampa in florida warned residents to evacuate the area last night in anticipation of the category five storm hurricane milton. carol will explain a bit about that later. the daily express lead with a warning from the head of m15, who says the security service has "one hell of a job on its hands" to manage threats from russia and iran towards the uk. the times reports that a "hs2 light" railway line between birmingham and manchester could be built under plans being considered by ministers,

after the original high—speed line connecting the two cities was scrapped by the conservative government. and finally, the metro leads with "wagatha thrifty" as barristers for coleen rooney and rebekah vardy have been back in court following a dispute over mrs rooney's legal costs during the so—called wagatha christie libel trial. mrs vardy was ordered to pay 90% of mrs rooney's legal fees, which were originally estimated at £540,000, but have since risen to £1.8 million. that is definitely the headline of the day. that is definitely the headline of the da . ~ ., ., ., that is definitely the headline of the da . . . . . that is definitely the headline of theda . . . . ., , that is definitely the headline of the da . . . . . ,., the day. wagatha thrifty? it is a aood the day. wagatha thrifty? it is a good one- _ the day. wagatha thrifty? it is a good one. there _ the day. wagatha thrifty? it is a good one. there is _ the day. wagatha thrifty? it is a good one. there is no _ the day. wagatha thrifty? it is a good one. there is no end - the day. wagatha thrifty? it is a good one. there is no end to - the day. wagatha thrifty? it is a good one. there is no end to it. | the day. wagatha thrifty? it is a - good one. there is no end to it. one sub'ect good one. there is no end to it. one subject we — good one. there is no end to it. one subject we are _ good one. there is no end to it. one subject we are obsessed _ good one. there is no end to it. one subject we are obsessed with - good one. there is no end to it. one subject we are obsessed with is - subject we are obsessed with is sleep. the first thing we talk about every morning, how did you sleep last night? you had a bad night. sunday night, i did the programme on monday morning on one hour of sleep. you lucky thing! it monday morning on one hour of sleep. you lucky thing!— you lucky thing! it was really not aood. you lucky thing! it was really not good- one _ you lucky thing! it was really not good- one of _ you lucky thing! it was really not good. one of those _ you lucky thing! it was really not good. one of those nights - you lucky thing! it was really not good. one of those nights when | you lucky thing! it was really not. good. one of those nights when you cannot sleep. d0

target after we featured them this week. members of the team, cancer survivors, some born with limb difference, they want the opportunity to compete in the biggest stage of all and there has been such a huge reaction, that response has extended beyond just donations. john terry, former england and chelsea captain, having heard the story, made contact with the team, invited them down to the chelsea training base yesterday, they went to a game, the chelsea women's game, last night and i was there tojoin them women's game, last night and i was there to join them and find out how they got on as they metjohn terry yesterday. the dream is a reality. the amputee lionesses are off to the world cup. i get a bit emotional sometimes, you know, because obviously it was a horror two years and now that i have a family around me, you know, all these women are so amazing. oh, ijust, i get emotional because they're all amazing. hi, girls. here, the former england and chelsea captain, john terry, welcomed the team to chelsea's

training ground, having seen and been inspired by their story. oh, it's yesterday afternoon, kind of seen the tweet, so we retweeted it. you've been there, you've played at a world cup. what's it going to be like for them now? well, hopefully they go a little bit further than we managed to! it's been a whirlwind day for the amputee lionesses and annabel kiki, who appeared on breakfast yesterday morning before being driven down to the training ground for the next stop on their world cup journey. every girl on that team deserves this and i just want to say a massive thank you to everybody who's donated because you got us to this world cup. before appearing on breakfast this week, the team were still short of their £50,000 target, but thanks to the generosity of the viewers and now support here from across the football community, they're heading to the tournament in colombia next month. they've been on a journey for the last year, trying to raise funds for being able to go to the world cup in colombia. we've managed to help and you guys have, as well.

so a big thank you for helping them as well. but they're absolutely delighted, we've managed to get them to their target, which means they'll be going to the world cup. you can now book flights! absolutely fantastic, yeah. the girls are on the way to colombia, it's unbelievable. it's about time we took disabled people seriously as athletes as well. photographed here in the england kit they will wear at the tournament, their stories continue to inspire other girls that they too can become amputee lionesses. it's about showing them — these younger girls like you — can also go to a world cup. yeah, yeah. you know, abled, disabled, it doesn't mean you can't play football. and being an amputee has changed our lives — for obvious reasons sometimes, but, you know, bringing football into our lives is, you know, been a life—saver for me. it's always been my safe space. so now that we get to offer that to younger people, itjust makes it even more important that we get out and do what we're

doing and getting it known out there and getting these girls the support they deserve. and it means that, you know, next 20 years, we're going to have so many girls built up with experience and strength, and just shows them that they can do whatever they put their mind to. it's been an incrediblejourney for annabel and two other members of the team who actually met on the eurovision stage, performing with sam ryder last year. ..a eurovision fan favourite! # i am a mountain and down in the valley below... his song mountain was written about the amputee community and, having been invited byjohn to round off the day watching chelsea women in a european match at stamford bridge last night, it was smiles all round as they now prepare to perform on the biggest stage of all... it's coming home! ..next month. and that is what makes that linkup so special because they can have conversations about potentially how he might be able to help the team

longer term because that is what they need, notjust wanting to rely on hand—outs every time they had to a world cup, the generosity of people. they need a sustainable model, funding model that helps them to continue to compete all the time. isn't it interesting who watches breakfast? quite a few people have beenin breakfast? quite a few people have been in touch with offers of support. been in touch with offers of su ort. ,., . been in touch with offers of su--ort. ., support. the impact it can have. dead excited. _ support. the impact it can have. dead excited. we _ support. the impact it can have. dead excited. we will _ support. the impact it can have. dead excited. we will follow - support. the impact it can have. dead excited. we will follow it i support. the impact it can have. i dead excited. we will follow it over the next _ dead excited. we will follow it over the next month. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london with me, barry caffrey. thousands of pounds worth of banned foreign confectionary have been sent for incineration by westminster council. officers say they seized more than 600 treats which contained ingredients forbidden in the uk. the haul, including american sweets, cereals, crisps and fizzy drinks,

was seized from one of oxford street's biggest shops in september. the leader of westminster city council adam hug warned there are more raids to come over the next few weeks. survivors of accidents on london's transport network are calling for government intervention to address urgent safety issues. figures uncovered by solicitors representing victims have shown a rise in accidents on train platforms including falls and people getting stuck in doors. tfl says, "safety is our utmost priority and we are committed to learning from every collision." this week, bbc london is visiting the capital's four nominations for the stirling prize, the most prestigious architectural award in the country. one of those is the re—development of the national portrait gallery. it's one of the developments which could win the top prize at next week's ceremony. the judges for the stirling prize were impressed with the architects climate considerations.

here at the national portrait gallery, we found 950 metres squared of space, which was underutilised and turned it into public space. and for me, this is the essence of tackling the climate crisis. so i think that's been recognised by the riba as being important. and i think that's what this project is really about. let's take a look at the travel news now and there's generally a good service this morning. severe delays on the northbound northern line between kennington and camden town. time now to get a check on the weather for the day ahead, here's kate kinsella. good morning. it is a mild start this morning, but it's also another day of sunshine and showers. a little different to yesterday, however. this morning, there is a bit of patchy rain, quite cloudy, that's the remnants of last night's system. but it is slowly starting to break up, the cloud, and we'll get some sunny spells. that's when we are likely to see more showers.

they're not as heavy as yesterday, and we are unlikely to hear any thunder. temperatures today 17 celsius. then overnight, the cloud will start to move south again. still the potential for some showers mixed in there too. becoming quite breezy overnight, a northerly wind and a northerly flow. minimum tmperatures around 8 celsius. then for tomorrow, that cloud will start to shift away southwards. it's dragging in a northerly breeze, despite the sunshine, temperatures significantly chillier tomorrow with a maximum of 12 celsius. it's going to be a chilly night as well, thursday into friday. temperatures close to zero, some of us waking up to a frost on friday morning. but you can see largely dry towards the end of the week. that's it from me for now. do head over to our website. i'll be back with your news, travel and weather in around a half an hour. now though, it's back tojon and sally.

hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. let s return to our top story this morning. hurricane milton has been upgraded to a category five storm, as authorities warn the storm surges are "not survivable". it's currently moving across the gulf of mexico, where warm waters have helped it become a dangerous hurricane that's expected to make landfall in the next 24 hours. so far, milton has sustained a maximum wind speed of 165mph, after already brushing past mexico where it caused coastal flooding. the intensity of the storm can be seen in these pictures from space. you can see the eye of the storm as it heads towards the florida peninsula. 11 counties in the state are now under mandatory evacuation orders, impacting nearly six million people. the highways north and to the east

of the tampa have seen huge backlogs of traffic as people move to safer areas. yesterday, us presidentjoe biden appealed to residents to follow advice to evacuate, labelling the situation in florida "a matter of life and death". most importantly, i urge everyone, everyone, currently located in the hurricane's path to follow safety instructions. everyone is heading out, and if you are under an evacuation order, you should evacuate now, now. we should have already evacuated. it's a matter of life and death and that isn't hyperbole, it's a matter of life and death. we're joined now by jay retcher, a presenter on a local tampa bay station, and also dr nicholas grondin,

an associate professor of tampa bay university. you live in tampa, jay, tell me when you were evacuated and what the situation is for you right there. i have evacuated as well as the rest of the members of the storm watch tv here, and we are going to be live before, during and after the storm. it's one of those instances when you get to the situation at this time of year, people understand it is hurricane season, a lot of locals are people who have lived in tampa through their whole lives and they usually stay during hurricane system and tough it out. even those people are looking at what could happen here with hurricane milton getting out of dodge, finding anyway to evacuate, because this is going to be a historic stalker or something we haven't seen for over 100 years in our area. we haven't seen for over 100 years in ourarea. —— we haven't seen for over 100 years in our area. —— this is going to be a historic storm. we in our area. -- this is going to be a historic storm.— in our area. -- this is going to be a historic storm. we are looking at ictures

that neighbours are doing to each other and that's part of the reason why we do what we do on our operation storm watch team. notjust before, during and after the storm, people in our area are going to need help. and people don't really know what they are going back to that is a scary situation with this whole thing, the fear of the unknown. we are therefore them throughout the entire store. you can listen on the 3pp. entire store. you can listen on the app, hit us up and make sure you are getting, there was an instant couple of years ago where a lady had a downed power line and she was traumatised and crying as she called us up, i don't know what to do, we had a localfire marshal call in and say, this is what you need to do to make sure you don't need everything. she called back so grateful and thankful. that's the power of radio and we were able to help that lady. we are therefore them, but neighbours being there for each other, you see some of the best for people during the worst times. —— the best from people during the

a whipped in cross chelsea then fortunate with a final deflected touch off sheila garcia. i think it might be an own goal. and their opponents' evening got even worse when the referee awarded a penalty for this. the referee, after a long pause, points to the spot. guro reiten with a pinpoint finish to double the lead inside half an hour. real madrid struck back before the break, making the most of chelsea failing to clear their lines. and real madrid have pulled one back. mayra ramirez looked like her looping header had put the game out of sight after the restart. a third goal! and whilst linda caicedo's goal threatened a late comeback from real madrid, the win was chelsea's. three points and a five goal thriller to kick—start their campaign. in hamilton, this was new ground for celtic. how would they fare in their first ever champions league group game as they hosted twente? well, despite holding their own in the first half, they were undone by some route one football right before half time. they did have chances of their own,

but when kayleigh van dooren thumped home her second of the night, the game was done. the scottish side succumbing to a 2—0 defeat. jo currie, bbc news. a busy few days ahead in international football. england's jack grealish believes he should have been selected by gareth southgate to play in last summer's euros. the player missed out on selection as england reached the final but is back in the squad having been picked by interim manager lee ca rsley. i'll be honest with you, i didn't really agree with it because it's just me, you know? i felt like... ifelt like i didn't have the best season. you know, i class myself as, you know, quite an experienced player now, played in, you know, a lot of big games, champions league finals and fa cup finals, you know, and i've won a lot of stuff now. so, yeah. you know, you asked me, do i think i should have went, and i still think, yeah, that i should have, but obviously weren't meant to be.

he believes he should have been there. all four home nations in action over the coming days. andres iniesta, one of spain's greates players, has retired at the age of the 40. the former barcelona midfielder scored the winning goal in the 2010 world cup final and also won the european championship twice. he will now focus on a career in coaching. ahead of rugby league's grand final this weekend, hull kr competing in the showpiece for the first time, mikey lewis has been named this year's man of steel, the award given to the league's best player. lewis scored 19 tries as he helped his side to second place ahead of that first grand final appearance this saturday. york valkyrie's georgie hetherington won the woman of steel. and scotland face last year's finalists south africa at the women's t20 world cup this afternoon. a dominant bowling display helped australia to a comfortable win over new zealand yesterday. the white ferns lost nine

wickets for just 34 runs as they collapsed in sharjah. the result means australia top group a. i love the story about the amputee lionesses, hope they do so well. john terry earlier saying he hopes they fare better than he did when he went to a world cup! the government's water bill will be debated in parliament for the first time later, a day after the regulator ofwat ordered 14 water companies to refund nearly £158 million to customers. the bill would see rules on bonuses for water bosses tightened up. but liberal democrats plan to table an amendment to ban them all together. their environment spokesperson tim farronjoins us now.

good morning. the government says the proposed law would see bonuses restricted to, that some them could even go to prison if it came to that. are you notjust calling for something which is already under way? something which is already under wa ? ., , something which is already under wa ? ., . ., something which is already under wa ? ., ., ., , way? no, what the government is ro osina way? no, what the government is proposing our _ way? no, what the government is proposing our baby _ way? no, what the government is proposing our baby steps - way? no, what the government is proposing our baby steps at i way? no, what the government is proposing our baby steps at the l proposing our baby steps at the right direction. this is a week where we have also discovered on top of what you have already revealed that ofwat have charged £106 million of fines against several water companies, and collected precisely zero of that money. that was a reminder that you have got a regulatory framework which is always investigating and never acting. whilst the new labour government is taking some steps far better than the previous conservative government, this is not the root and branch reform we definitely need to make sure we clean up our waterways. we are not reforming the regulator

or water ownership and the liberal democrats think we should be scrapping ofwat which is a weak regulator, rolling in the environmental agency as well, creating a much more powerful clean water authority which would migrate the water companies away from sucking away money for the dividends from bill payers, to pay shareholders and huge executive bonuses, and spend the money through a not—for—profit business model so we restore and clean up our lakes, rivers and coastal areas. we want to be far more radical than what the labour cabinet is proposing. you talk about potentially scrapping the regulator ofwat but he would replace it with another water regulator which would effectively be the same thing with a different name, wouldn't it?— thing with a different name, wouldn't it? ., ., ., , , wouldn't it? no, one of the problems is that the water _ wouldn't it? no, one of the problems is that the water companies - wouldn't it? no, one of the problems is that the water companies can i wouldn't it? no, one of the problems is that the water companies can play | is that the water companies can play divide and rule. these are huge multinational companies and they are negated by ofwat, and they have been

forced to admit they have levied all of these fines against the water companies but the water can be to have paid precisely zero of those fines so they are a weak regulator. the environment agency is full of lovely good people but beleaguered and understaffed, they regulate the environmental side of the water industry and ofwat regulate the business side so they are much more powerful, the water bosses, and they play the two of each other so why you have got huge fines and nothing paid full stop we criticise the current government for making proposals which are followed, a few steps in the right direction not the regulatory reform that is needed or the ownership framework reform needed if we want our water companies not to take us for a ride. when we reported yesterday that 14 water companies would have to pay back £160 million to customers, i

saw a couple of e—mails coming in saying, hang on a minute, if you make the water companies and money back to customers, although that might be welcome, that is £160 million they cannot spend on trying to improve the infrastructure. how do you address that? it’s to improve the infrastructure. how do you address that?— do you address that? it's an interesting _ do you address that? it's an interesting point. _ do you address that? it's an interesting point. our- do you address that? it's an interesting point. our big i do you address that? it's an i interesting point. our big problem of the financial side is that the way the structure of the industry is at the moment is that money is leaking out of the system in every direction. and one way it leaks out is in huge dividend to those who have invested in the water companies. those dividends are more often fuelled by debt. over the years of private isschick, £68 billion of debt has been taken out of the industry. so often our water bills are going to service debts rather than investing in infrastructure. i speak as the mp for the lakes so water is really

personal to us and we see the bill payers around our part of the world in cumbria, we see their money is going to pay huge dividends to the shareholders of united utilities, when it should be being spent on upgrading the water infrastructure around iglenn's largest lake windermere for example. —— england's largest lake. we windermere for example. -- england's largest lake-— largest lake. we can give the regulator _ largest lake. we can give the regulator more _ largest lake. we can give the regulator more powers i largest lake. we can give the regulator more powers but i l largest lake. we can give the i regulator more powers but i wonder whether we need to have a more fundamental honest conversation as a nation about the cost of making our water industry for the purpose of the 21st century, whether we need to spend a lot more money than anyone is talking about.— is talking about. there is some truth in that _ is talking about. there is some truth in that if _ is talking about. there is some truth in that if you _ is talking about. there is some truth in that if you think i is talking about. there is some truth in that if you think about | is talking about. there is some i truth in that if you think about it. we cannot talk the clock back. privatisation should not have happened, 35 years of complete waste, £78 billion of dividend discover 68 billion of waste, money that could have been spent on

infrastructure which was not. the job now is not to do some tinkering. ifear the labour job now is not to do some tinkering. i fear the labour government will do better, the bill appears to be better, the bill appears to be better than the last government was proposing that it is not, i do suggest rightly we need radical reform, we need to catch up on 35 wasted years since privatisation. but it won't happen if all you do is make some more limitations to chief executive bonuses. the reality is that the regulations exist now but ofwat and now these bonuses to happen. untilwe ofwat and now these bonuses to happen. until we change the regulatory framework, completely radically reform the ownership of companies so they become not—for—profit community benefit companies instead of bleeding us for our money and not spending it on infrastructure, we will not make much progress. that's where we are frustrated by the lack of ambition from this government even if it is better than the last one.- from this government even if it is better than the last one. thank you for “oininu better than the last one. thank you forjoining us. _ better than the last one. thank you forjoining us, tim _ better than the last one. thank you

forjoining us, tim farron. - we have been talking about the situation in florida, the hurricane is due to hitting the next few hours, karen is going to explain to us a bit about —— carol is going to explain the impact and also our weather. yes, we will talk about the hurricane shortly. we start with the british weather, a cloudy start today, with some rain around. it will be a bit drier than it has been but it is also going to be a lot colder. we are starting with a lot of cloud, the rain is across parts of cloud, the rain is across parts of the north east. a few spots towards the west. through the day the rain will turn more in nature. it will brighten up across northern scotland, the showers will be wintry above six or 700 metres in the hills. it will be accompanied by a strong northerly wind. further south brightening up with a few shows

around and areas of cloud but also sunny spells. it will feel quite pleasant in the sunshine london but 9 degrees in aberdeen. the rain will push south with the cloud tonight, clearer skies provide. the snow level will come down to 400 metres and a cold night. where we have got the blue in the chart temperatures could get to —3. a colder night across the board last night. the remnants of cloud and that she south first thing tomorrow, that moves away. dry weather but it will be windy, so windward coasts will see some showers. there later in the day more organised showers across north—west scotland. temperatures

chilly. friday, a lot of dry weather, a frosty start but a widespread frost, showers and longer spells of rain moving it towards what and northern ireland. the wind will change to a westerly but it will change to a westerly but it will still feel cool. the cold air is embedded across the country already. as we head into the weekend, high pressure is with us, the weather front could bring some rain across the far north of the country across saturday but the high pressure looks like it will keep the weather fronts at bay out towards the west on sunday so sunday is looking like a decent day with temperatures having risen a little bit. let's cross the atlantic to hurricane milton, you can see where it is. yesterday at the start of my shift at four o'clock, it was a category five, then the eye of the hurricane started to break up and when it reformed, later in the day, it read initially to a category four

then back up to a fiver. it is a whopping big hurricane. it is approaching florida. it will have as much of the 15 foot storm surge, bigger than a double—decker bus. imagine having that coming towards you. it will do a lot of damage to lowlight buildings. at the moment there are sustained wind speeds of 160 miles an hour. we expect the hurricane to decrease to a category three when it makes nightfall. but it can still spawn tornadoes. but we are not done with it yet. ahead of it we are looking at a tropical storm conditions over a very wide area. ~ . ~' . storm conditions over a very wide area. . . ~ , ., , storm conditions over a very wide area. . ~ , ., , ., area. we are keeping an eye on it this morning. _ area. we are keeping an eye on it this morning, thank _ area. we are keeping an eye on it this morning, thank you, - area. we are keeping an eye on it this morning, thank you, talk i area. we are keeping an eye on it this morning, thank you, talk to l area. we are keeping an eye on it i this morning, thank you, talk to you soon. drivers have been telling england's transport watchdog about their favourite and least favourite roads as a part of an annual survey. ben has the details.

iimagine i imagine there are quite a few least favourite roads!— i imagine there are quite a few least favourite roads! yes, this will have a _ least favourite roads! yes, this will have a lot _ least favourite roads! yes, this will have a lot of _ least favourite roads! yes, this will have a lot of personal- least favourite roads! yes, this| will have a lot of personal takes least favourite roads! yes, this i will have a lot of personal takes in terms of the best and worst roads. let me explain this survey. it's a familiar tale — traffic, endless roadworks and the state of road surfaces are among the main reasons why people dislike the roads they drive on. that's according to the watchdog transport focus. it asked more than 9000 drivers about their last journey on a major road, and here are the results. the best road by far was the a19 in yorkshire with a driver satisfaction score of 85%. the best motorway was the m40, linking london with birmingham. followed by the m4 which runs between london and cardiff, both scoring over 75%. you probably have your own opinions on this one. but the worst—rated road was the a12 in the east of england, rated at 55%.

the m42 in the midlands scored as the worst motorway at 56%, and the m62 which runs through the north of england at 60%. so, what are the reasons behind these ratings? one driver told transport focus they disliked the m42 because of its roadworks, potholes and delays, describing it as a "terrible" road to drive on. a user of the a12 was unhappy with the state of the road and how it had been maintained. which appears to be a sticking point for a lot of drivers. fewer than half said they were satisfied with how roadworks were being managed. a similar figure to last year's survey. overall, just over two—thirds of drivers were satisfied with the last journey they took on one of these roads. however, that has dropped slightly from 73% the previous year. as a lorry driver, sam

spends most of her working life on the road, here's what she told us. improvements that could be made to motorways to make my life easier would be less smart motorways. i don't think i know a single lorry driver who agrees that smart motorways were a good idea. bring back the hard shoulder. my least favourite road at the minute has got to be the m6. the roadworks have just been dragging on for so long, and it's a section of road that i have to drive through every day and every day it's just carnage. one of my favourite roads has got to be the cat and fiddle. it's just really scenic, really pretty. there's a nice pub on the top as you get through the hills and, yeah, it's just a lovely road to drive on. as ever, we'd like to hear about your experiences of driving on major roads, that's motorways and a—roads. do you have a favourite? is there a road you'll avoid at all costs? let us know on any of the ways shown on screen and remember to include your name in any reply.

lots of traffic! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london with me, barry caffrey. thousands of pounds worth of banned foreign confectionary have been sent for incineration by westminster council. officers say they seized more than 600 food items which contained ingredients forbidden in the uk. the haul — including american sweets, cereals, crisps and fizzy drinks — was seized from one of oxford street's biggest shops in september. the leader of westminster city council, adam hug, warned there are more raids to come over the next few weeks. survivors of accidents on london's transport network are calling for government intervention to address urgent safety issues. figures uncovered by solicitors representing victims have shown a rise in accidents on train platforms including falls and people getting stuck in doors. tfl says, "safety is our utmost priority and we are committed

to learning from every collision." this week, bbc london is visiting the capital's four nominations for the stirling prize — the most prestigious architectural award in the country. one of those is the re—development of the national portrait gallery. it's one of the developments which could win the top prize at next week's ceremony. the judges for the stirling prize were impressed with the architect's climate considerations. here at the national portrait gallery, we found 950 metres squared of space, which was underutilised and turned it into public space. and for me, this is the essence of tackling the climate crisis. so i think that's been recognised by the riba as being important. and i think that's what this project is really about. let's take a look at the travel news now.

severe delays on the northern line northbound between kennington and camden town. and there are minor delays on the bakerloo line southbound between queen's park and elephant & castle. time now to get a check on the weather forecast — here's kate kinsella. good morning. it is a mild start this morning, but it's also another day of sunshine and showers. a little different to yesterday, however. this morning, there is a bit of patchy rain, quite cloudy, that's the remnants of last night's system. but it is slowly starting to break up, the cloud, and we'll get some sunny spells. that's when we are likely to see more showers. they're not as heavy as yesterday, and we are unlikely to hear any thunder. temperatures today 17 celsius. then overnight, the cloud will start to move south again. still the potential for some showers mixed in there too. becoming quite breezy overnight, a northerly wind and a northerly flow. minimum temperature around 8 celsius. then for tomorrow, that cloud will start to shift away southwards. it's dragging in a northerly breeze, despite the sunshine, temperatures significantly chillier tomorrow with a maximum of 12 celsius. it's going to be a chilly night as well, thursday into friday.

temperatures close to zero, some of us waking up to a frost on friday morning. but you can see largely dry towards the end of the week. that's it from me for now. i'll be back with your news, travel and weather in around a half an hour. now, though, it's back tojon and sally. have a good morning — bye—bye!

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. a life—or—death choice — millions are urged to evacuate as hurricane milton heads towards florida. authorities say the storm surges are not survivable. post office chief executive nick read is due in front of the public inquiry into the horizon it scandal today. more bereaved parents in england will now be able to apply for a certificate to formally recognise the loss of their baby after changes to who can apply. moving to antarctica — we'll speak to four people who will be spending months counting penguins and undertaking conservation work after signing up to one of the world's most remotejobs. chelsea women beat real madrid in the champions league but say they'll need to play better if they're to win the trophy for the first time. good morning. it is a cloudy start

for most. some rain especially in the north and east, but it will brighten up later across the north of scotland, south wales and southern england, withjust a of scotland, south wales and southern england, with just a few showers. all the details shortly. it's wednesday 9th october. we start with the urgent situation in america. millions have been urged to evacuate parts of florida ahead of the arrival of hurricane milton. it strengthened again overnight to become a category 5 storm — the highest rating — and is expected to make landfall in the next 2a hours. forecasters say milton has the potential to be one of the most destructive hurricanes ever recorded in the region — and presidentjoe biden has described the situation in florida as "a matter of life and death". our reporter steve knibbs has more. siren. an evacuation siren on the streets of redington shores in florida. debris is still piled up

after storm helene two weeks ago, and now people are being told they have to leave again. mandatory evacuation orders are in place for nearly six million people. as hurricane milton approaches, many are heading to safety as authorities warn that storm surges could be up to 15 feet — with warnings that if you stay when told to leave, you may not survive. we can rebuild homes, we can rebuild businesses, we can get people back on their feet, but only if they're safe and they survive the storm. we're not going to be able to bring people back who who stay behind in 10 or 15 feet of storm surge. hurricane milton is intensifying — now a category five — with speeds around i65mph. this crew from the national oceanic and atmospheric association — dubbed hurricane hunters — flew through it yesterday and felt its power. damn! on the ground, residents are doing what they can

to protect their properties before they leave. but there's real fear here. apprehensive, really anxious. we have two young kids. it's scary. over 50 counties are now under a state of emergency, but not everyone is deciding to flee. we got four, five gallon cans. tommy hall and his family live near venice beach, and they've chosen to weather the incoming storm. we got gas, food, two generators, portable air conditioners to push around to room to room, so i think we might do ok. but weather forecasters are now warning of the severity and danger of this storm. voice breaking: it has dropped 50 millibars in ten hours. - tracking hurricane milton, forecasterjohn morales broke down on air because of fears of what's to come. everything that's going on really does affect you emotionally.

and, yeah, my delivery of, um, trying to carry an audience through these type of emergencies, i think it's become... certainly not the same, not alarmist style it was before. i am alarmed. milton's strength has already brought flooding along the mexican coast and downed power lines and trees. but the us is bracing itself for much worse, with officials saying that milton has the potential to be one of the most destructive hurricanes on record when it makes landfall later today. steve knibbs, bbc news. let's look in a little more detail at what is expected to happen over the course of today. hurricane milton is currently moving across the gulf of mexico, where warm waters have helped it become a dangerous category five storm. it's expected to make landfall in the next 2a hours.

so far, milton has reached a maximum sustained wind speed of 165mph, after already brushing past mexico — where it caused coastal flooding. the intensity of the storm can be seen in these pictures from space. you can see here the eye of the storm as it heads towards the florida peninsula. our correspondent gordon corera is in tampa, one of the areas expected to be worst affected, and sent us this report. a lot of people would have been on holiday there from the uk. here in tampa, there is a sense of time running out ahead of milton's really now imminent arrival. the streets in the city have been eerily quiet — hardly anyone�*s around. the few people who we have seen have been preparing their homes or their offices for the storm — boarding things up, maybe moving things around. i think one of the things that's quite shocking is,

just as you can see around me, the devastation which is still here from hurricane helene, which hit two weeks ago. and there's an enormous amount of debris around, particularly where i am in tampa. and the concern is that the massive surge which will come with milton could lift up all this debris, move it around, cause even more damage. and the fear is that the surge with milton could be 12 feet or perhaps even more high compared to about half that or less with helene. so it could be very significant indeed. there's a lot of work going on already to think about how the community will respond afterwards. but first of all, they've got to get through that storm, which is nowjust really hours away from arriving here. our colleagues are feeding into a bbc live page with constant updates. we had from one eye witness a short time ago who said as he was trying to get out, evacuate with his family, he couldn't believe the

number of people, literally hundreds of thousands, on the freeway is trying to safety. sally has more of the day's news. the post office chief executive, nick read, is due to begin giving evidence today at the inquiry into the horizon it scandal. mr read joined the post office in september 2019, but has been accused by sub—postmasters of presiding over an insufficient level of change at the organisation. our business reporter peter ruddick has the details. he was the man tasked with moving the post office from scandal to success. but nick read has been accused of leading an organisation that has failed to change. a regular in the inquiry public gallery over recent months, today it's his turn to face questions. nick read joined the post office as the permanent replacement for paula vennells in september 2019. within months, he agreed to settle a case brought by a group of subpostmasters led by sir alan bates. that opened the door to financial

redress for victims, and the first scheme was launched in april 2020. cheering. but, more than four years on, many are still waiting for their money. nick read will be asked why the process is taking so long, and if it should really be his organisation handling it. he will also face accusations he has been too focused on his own pay, and that some in his team still think the post office is the victim. keith bell was falsely prosecuted and lost his life savings. like many, he's eagerly following the inquiry, and wants nick read and others to put subpostmasters back at the heart of the post office. ijust hope he takes the opportunity now to try and come clean, answer the questions that are put to him, and not sort of go around them. you know, um, just take the chance to put the record straight. today won't be nick read's first time in the firing line —

he's been quizzed by mps after being accused of bullying a female colleague, and presiding over a toxic culture. mr read denied the claims, and an internal report cleared him of wrongdoing. but criticism remains — and, after being brought into the post office as the face of change, the next three days could well determine nick read's legacy. peter ruddick, bbc news. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has made a direct appeal to the lebanese people to throw out hezbollah and avoid "destruction and suffering like we see in gaza". in a moment we'll speak to our middle east correspondent yolande knell, but first let's speak to our correspondent hugo bachega, who joins us from beirut. hugo, i'm curious to know, how has this morning been received in lebanon? this morning been received in lemon?— lebanon? well, i think this is unlikely to — lebanon? well, i think this is unlikely to have _ lebanon? well, i think this is unlikely to have any - lebanon? well, i think this is l unlikely to have any resonance lebanon? well, i think this is - unlikely to have any resonance here in this country because a lot of people in lebanon say that israel is

fighting not only against hezbollah but against lebanon. they say that civilian areas of the country have been destroyed, civilians are being killed in those israeli air strikes, a growing number of medical teams, rescue workers are being killed, as well. so there is a long history of israeli violence here in this country so i don't think people will be paying a lot of attention to what the prime minister is saying. obviously here in lebanon hezbollah is more than a militia, it is a political party with representation in parliament, a social movement, with significant support. so many of its critics accuse hezbollah of being a state within a state, very powerful, influential, supported by iran and obviously those critics accuse hezbollah of dragging lebanon into this conflict with israel. hugo thank yom _ into this conflict with israel. hugo thank you. yolande, _ into this conflict with israel. hugo thank you. yolande, reports -

thank you. yolande, reports suggesting joe biden is due to speak to benjamin netanyahu later today. what is the latest? the to benjamin netanyahu later today. what is the latest?— what is the latest? the real point ofthat what is the latest? the real point of that discussion _ what is the latest? the real point of that discussion as _ what is the latest? the real point of that discussion as we - what is the latest? the real point l of that discussion as we understand is about israel's likely response to that missile attack by iran that took place last week. we understand that the two leaders have not spoken to each other in several weeks. their relationship has become increasingly testy. there's a lot of mistrust there. but the message that has been coming from the us is that israel must not hit iran's nuclear sites, it's nuclear production facilities as it plans its response. mr netanyahu has said iran will pay the price. in response to iran has said there would be vast destruction in israel if there is an israeli strike and that has really ratcheted up strike and that has really ratcheted up fears once again of a wider regional war. you have the us

stepping in, trying to limit the plans of its closest ally in the middle east, so it seems... but the us has been saying, of course, over the past year, that it does back israel when it comes to going after iran backed groups, whether it is hamas in gaza, whether it is hezbollah in lebanon but already there has been a lot of disagreement over the conduct of the war in gaza and now there is a lot of suspicion from the us that while israel has said it is limited, targeted, what it is doing in lebanon, this could be turning into something much bigger in scope. be turning into something much bigger in scape-— be turning into something much bier in scoe. ., . ., ~ bigger in scope. yolande, thank you very much- — the fbi has arrested a man on suspicion of plotting to carry out an attack on the day of the us presidential election. nasir ahmad tawhedi — who is originally from afghanistan — allegedly planned an attack for november 5th, when hundreds of millions of americans will head to the polls. he was detained after he attempted to buy guns from undercover agents. in a statement, the fbi said

he was motivated by isis. gas thefts in england, scotland and wales have risen by 25% over the past year. thefts occur when people tamper with a meter, or bypass it completely so it is doesn't record how much energy is being used. tampering with a gas meter is extremely dangerous as it leads to leaks and kills or injures 280 people every year, according to stay energy safe. conservative mps will decide later which of the three candidates vying to lead the party will make it through to a ballot of party members. it comes after tom tugendhat was eliminated yesterday. our political correspondent, damian grammaticas, is in westminster. is the end insight? morning. and almost is the _ is the end insight? morning. and almost is the answer. _ is the end insight? morning. and almost is the answer. we - is the end insight? morning. and almost is the answer. we will- is the end insight? morning. and i almost is the answer. we will know today who the final two are, and thatis today who the final two are, and that is then the choice that goes from tomorrow to the conservative party membership. james cleverly,

former foreign secretary, home secretary, his was the surprise yesterday. he surged forwards, having been in third place, to the front of the pack, nearly doubled his tally of votes from amongst mps. he isjust shy his tally of votes from amongst mps. he is just shy of the number two absolutely secure his place in the final round. that leaves the other two, robertjenrick, kemi badenoch, both on the right, they are both there trying to appeal to the 20 votes of the candidate who was knocked out yesterday. we will know the answer at about 3:30pm. thank ou. we the answer at about 3:30pm. thank yom we can — the answer at about 3:30pm. thank yom we can just — the answer at about 3:30pm. thank you. we can just about _ the answer at about 3:30pm. thank you. we can just about hear- the answer at about 3:30pm. thank you. we can just about hear you! i with almost 60,000 entries, winning a prize at the wildlife photographer of the year awards is not easy, imagine trying to decide between these. they include this image

and here's the photo which took the top prize. marine conservation photojournalist shane gross captured this shot of a swarm of toad tadpoles after snorkelling for hours through lily pads in cedar lake on vancouver island in canada. it won him the title of wildlife photographer of the year. that is quite a thing, to snorkel through that four hours. you are riaht through that four hours. you are right earlier. _ through that four hours. you are right earlier, it _ through that four hours. you are right earlier, it is _ through that four hours. you are right earlier, it is the _ right earlier, it is the preparation, the planning, just to get a picture that nobody has ever got before. busy morning for carol and the bbc weather team, they are keeping an eye on events on the other side of the atlantic as well as the thankfully more calm situation here. good morning. good morning. there is a lot going on but _ good morning. there is a lot going on but for— good morning. there is a lot going on but for this broadcast we are focusing — on but for this broadcast we are focusing purely on the uk. a cloudy start to _ focusing purely on the uk. a cloudy start to the — focusing purely on the uk. a cloudy start to the day. also a wet start but through the next few days, it will become drier and also much colder_ will become drier and also much colder as — will become drier and also much colder as we pull in and northerly wind~ _

she says receiving an official certificate made the world of difference. it's literally changed the whole grieving process for us. having that document, um, it has meant that we're notjust a statistic — actually, rory existed, and we were able to name our baby, we were able to be placed on that document as his parents. and for us, that's just really been incredible that our baby's life has recognition. previous rules restricted certificates to babies lost from september 2018 onwards. but from today, new rules mean that anyone in england over the age of 16 whose pregnancy ended before 2a weeks can now apply for a certificate — regardless of how long ago they lost their baby. the certificates include the mother, father and baby's names, and the date of the loss. former children's tv presenter baroness floella benjamin experienced three miscarriages.

she introduced a private members' bill in the house of lords in 2017 for ba by—loss certificates. she told me of herjoy about the change in the rules. i had three miscarriages and i think about them all the time when it comes to that certain time of the year, and i think there are lots of women like me — and men, because men suffer, too. when my husband and i — we used to cry together when i went through a loss. and i know there are men out there who will be pleased that finally there can be some sort of recognition, because the grief never leaves you. and will you be applying for certificates for the three babies that you lost? not everybody wants that certificate, but for those who feel as if they can have something that recognises their loss, why not? you don't have to do it if you don't want to, but i certainly will be applying. the certificates are an option for all eligible parents, and are provided free of charge by the nhs. sophie hutchinson, bbc news.

time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london with me, barry caffrey. thousands of pounds worth of banned foreign confectionary have been sent for incineration by westminster council. officers say they seized more than 600 food items which contained ingredients forbidden in the uk. the haul, including american sweets, cereals, crisps and fizzy drinks, was seized from one of oxford street's biggest shops in september. the leader of westminster city council adam hug warned there are more raids to come over the next few weeks. survivors of accidents on london's transport network are calling for government intervention to address urgent safety issues. figures uncovered by solicitors representing victims have shown

a rise in accidents on train platforms including falls and people getting stuck in doors. tfl says "safety is our utmost priority and we are committed to learning from every collision." this week, bbc london is visiting the capital's four nominations for the stirling prize, the most prestigious architectural award in the country. one of those is the redevelopment of the national portrait gallery. it's one of the developments which could win the top prize at next week's ceremony. the judges for the stirling prize were impressed with the architects' climate considerations. here at the national portrait gallery, we found 950 metres squared of space, which was underutilised and turned it into public space. and for me, this is the essence of tackling the climate crisis. so i think that's been recognised by the riba as being important. and i think that's what this project is really about. let's take a look at

the travel news now, there are severe delays on the northern line northbound between kennington and camden town. minor delays on the bakerloo line southbound between queen's park and elephant & castle and minor delays on the central line between hainault and woodford. time now to get a check on the weather, here's kate kinsella. good morning. it is a mild start this morning, but it's also another day of sunshine and showers. a little different to yesterday, however. this morning, there is a bit of patchy rain, quite cloudy, that's the remnants of last night's system. but it is slowly starting to break up, the cloud, and we'll get some sunny spells. that's when we are likely to see more showers. they're not as heavy as yesterday, and we are unlikely to hear any thunder. temperatures today 17 celsius. then overnight, the cloud will start to move south again. still the potential for some showers mixed in there too. becoming quite breezy overnight, a northerly wind and a northerly flow. minimum temperature around 8 celsius. then for tomorrow, that cloud will start to shift away southwards. it's dragging in a northerly breeze,

despite the sunshine, temperatures significantly chillier tomorrow with a maximum of 12 celsius. it's going to be a chilly night as well, thursday into friday. temperatures close to zero, some of us waking up to a frost on friday morning. but you can see largely dry towards the end of the week. that's it from me for now. i'll be back with your news, travel and weather in around a half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. the antarctic is the coldest, highest, driest and windiest continent on earth, which may suggest why there is no native population. but have you ever thought of moving there? at the end of this month, 12 ordinary people will set off to do just that. they will travel over 9000 miles from the uk to port lockroy, which is an 80—year—old antarctic

base that was essential to researching the effects of climate change. and this is where some of them will be staying. it's on goudier island, which is roughly the size of a football pitch. some of them will spend up to five months at the base. in that time, they'll face unpredictable weather, near constant daylight and sub—zero temperatures. they will have no running water and no flushing toilet. everyone in the new team has given up their dayjobs to embark on this journey but they aren't the first. there has been a british presence as far back as 1944 and here's what the last team to head there said in february, shortly after they arrived. it's three months that we've been here in port lockroy. and it's going fantastic. i think we're just absolutely loving it still. it's getting used to everything taking a lot longer. just that adjusting to such a different life

is what we were doing first of all and i think we completely got into the swing of things there are. it feels really special because we feel like we're walking in the footsteps of the people that have come here before us. and in some ways, sometimes we compare our lives to how it was here in the '40s and '50s. it's too late to back out now! welcome, everybody. joining us now are lou hoskin, aoife mckenna, maggie coll and george clarke. you are after the antarctic, everybody. maggie, what did your family say when you tell them you are going? family say when you tell them you are auoin ? , , , . are going? they were super excited for me. are going? they were super excited for me- we — are going? they were super excited for me- we are _ are going? they were super excited for me. we are heading _ are going? they were super excited for me. we are heading off - are going? they were super excited for me. we are heading off as i are going? they were super excited for me. we are heading off as partl for me. we are heading off as part of the uk antarctic heritage trust, they are used to be doing unusual job abroad but i don't think they expected me to say antarctica. the coldest, windiest, driest, where space, i was saying! what made you think you wanted to go? —— worst

at home to fc twente. the result puts the dutch side top of group b ahead of chelsea on goal difference. england's jack grealish believes he should have been selected by gareth southgate to play in last summer's euros. he watched from home as england reached the final, but is back in the squad having been picked by interim manager lee carsley. all four home nations are in nations league action over the coming days. i'll be honest with you, i didn't really agree with it because it's just me, you know? i felt like... ifelt like i didn't have the best season. you know, i class myself as, you know, quite an experienced player now, played in, you know, a lot of big games, champions league finals and fa cup finals, you know, and i've won a lot of stuff now. so, yeah. you know, you asked me, do i think i should have went, and i still think, yeah, that i should have, but obviously weren't meant to be. a huge weekend in rugby league awaits,

the superleague grand final, hull kr competing in the showpiece for the first time. mikey lewis has been named this year's man of steel, the award handed out to the league's best player. lewis scored 19 tries as he helped his side to second place ahead of that first grand final appearance at old trafford this saturday. york valkyrie�*s georgie hetherington won the woman of steel. and more silverware will be handed out this month as the women's t20 world cup rumbles on. scotland face last year's finalists south africa this afternoon. meanwhile, australia's superior bowling helped them to a comfortable win over new zealand yesterday. the white ferns lost nine wickets for 3h runs as they collapsed in sharjah. the result means australia top group a. england top their group after two wins from two. they are in a rest day today. all

going well for england currently. thank you, john. we know that housing is a huge issue for so many people. the government is expected to push forward with changes to the rental market in england later today when the renters' rights bill comes before parliament. the centrepiece of the legislation is a ban on no—fault evictions. homelessness charities and tenants' rights groups have been calling for the change for years — and a similar ban was introduced in scotland several years ago. our social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan, has been looking at its impact. what england is planning, scotland has done years ago. no—fault evictions were banned here in 2017, but it hasn't stopped landlords behaving badly. people find it really difficult to find properties that are inexpensive. and the reason you had to change properties was because your landlord evicted you? yes, that's right, yeah. luke humberstone was evicted from his flat in paisley after complaining about the state of it.

the radiators were leaking so they needed repaired. the boiler was leaking, that needed replaced. his landlord said he was going to sell the flat, but instead re—let it at a higher rent. exercising his tenant's rights, luke sued his landlord for wrongful eviction and won over £2,000 in compensation. what makes me sick now is that that landlord is still a landlord, you know? there's not been any real repercussions. they're paying me the compensation on a payment plan out of the increased rent that they're charging for the property that's been let out now. that's ridiculous. there should be more of a consequence for not maintaining a property and for wrongfully evicting someone. landlords in scotland can evict a tenant by saying they plan to sell the property, but in one in five cases, they don't actually do so, according to a recent report. there needs to be better enforcement so that tenants feel confident to be able to get support, information and advice and actual enforcement when it's needed.

so there is not that fear of raising issues. legislation is relatively easy to bring in. it's actually making sure it happens, that's the key thing. despite giving tenants more rights, scotland is in the midst of a housing crisis with record numbers of families living in temporary accommodation. landlords point out that since the law was changed in 2017, there has been a reduction in the number of private rented properties available to let. many landlords are saying, actually this is too risky a business to be in. in england we could see something very similar to what we have here in scotland, and that's landlords leaving, a lack of accommodation and rents going up. despite some ongoing problems, housing experts say the scottish rental reforms have made tenants feel more secure in their properties. it has been a positive move for both tenants and landlords, maybe a bit more weighted on the tenant side, so getting rid of time limited tenancies like six months and a year, for example, that's been good for their security.

the rule around only increasing rent once a year has been really positive for them too. scotland's earlier adoption of rental reforms have given tenants more rights, including making it harder for landlords to regain their properties. but homelessness is a national emergency here because ultimately, like every other uk nation, the country has simply not built enough affordable homes. michael buchanan, bbc news. if you've opened a pint of milk this morning you may not have given too much thought to where it came from, but there's a warning that the future of dairy production could be at risk. farmers say "out—dated myths" are putting people off joining the industry, which is facing something of a staffing crisis, as our correspondent dave harvey has been finding out. high on the mendips, two young dairy farmers are bringing their cows infor milking. they're both in their early 205 but this is the life they love.

you can't beat being out here in the sunshine on a lovely day, when the weather's nice, with these beautiful creatures around us. it is great. good for mental health, great for your physical health. it's not a nine to five, it's a lifestyle. but i really wouldn't be doing anything else, living anywhere else, working anywhere else. i worked in racing for six or seven years, travelled all over, done a stint in america and all up and down this country and it was great. but you just can't beat it here with the family and farming and cows and, like, just this. but in the dairy industry emily and georgie are the exceptions, not the rule. gathering for the big dairy show, farmers from across the south west. average age — pushing 60, and attracting new, younger talent can be a real challenge. arla have brought out a survey in the last week where farmers have said they're actually finding it really difficult, over 50% find significant difficulties recruiting for roles and where they can recruit, they're finding that those people don't necessarily have exactly the right skills and qualifications. today's dairy farming is high—tech.

ruthie�*s team has made videos to prove it, to show students how rewarding and challenging a dairy career can be. you know, the technologies involved are incredible. we've got the moocall calving sensors, we've got robotic milking, we've got gait analysis, and we've got analysis of big data. all these things require a lot of skills to operate. 0n the gate, i met some more young people making a life outdoors, not as farmers but as vets. asra is from a big city but has fallen in love with farm life. what's your favourite bit being out on the farm then? um, probably scraping poo! it's quite calming, actually. but alsojust, you know, getting to help the animals and then see them running around the next day. the calves are just like overgrown puppies. back on the mendips, emily rounds up the stragglers and heads off to milking. they'll do this twice a day, every day. and they wouldn't want

it any other way. that report from dave harvey in somerset. the author, terry deary, is best known for his educational books and tv series, horrible histories, which helped make everything from the ancient egyptians to tudor england accessible for children and young adults alike. but now, he has taken his talent for bringing history to life for younger generations and applied it to his newest book, a history of britain in ten enemies, which is aimed at a more mature reader. hejoins us now. grown—ups. grown-ups. good morning, good mornin: grown-ups. good morning, good morning to _ grown-ups. good morning, good morning to my — grown-ups. good morning, good morning to my reader! _ grown-ups. good morning, good morning to my reader! you - grown-ups. good morning, good morning to my reader! you have | grown-ups. good morning, goodl morning to my reader! you have a grown-ups. good morning, good - morning to my reader! you have a lot of readers- — morning to my reader! you have a lot of readers- i— morning to my reader! you have a lot of readers. i was _ morning to my reader! you have a lot of readers. i wasjust _ morning to my reader! you have a lot of readers. i wasjust looking - of readers. i was just looking at the figures. you have sold millions of books. �* . ~ ., �* �* of books. and i walk into the bbc and the young — of books. and i walk into the bbc and the young people _ of books. and i walk into the bbc and the young people say, - of books. and i walk into the bbc and the young people say, i - of books. and i walk into the bbc and the young people say, i read | of books. and i walk into the bbc i and the young people say, i read my books at school. when the

by westminster council. officers say they seized more than 600 items which contained ingredients forbidden in the uk. the haul — including american sweets, cereals, crisps and fizzy drinks — was seized from one of oxford street's biggest shops in september. the leader of westminster city council, adam hug, warned there are more raids to come over the next few weeks. survivors of accidents on london's transport network are calling for government intervention to address urgent safety issues. figures uncovered by solicitors representing victims have shown a rise in accidents on train platforms including falls and people getting stuck in doors. tfl says, "safety is our utmost priority and we are committed to learning from every collision." let's take a look at the travel news now. there are severe delays on the northern line northbound this morning between kennington and camden town via bank. minor delays on the bakerloo line

southbound between queen's park and elephant & castle. and minor delays, too, on the central line between hainault and woodford. the weather — largely cloudy this morning with a few scattered showers in places. some sunny spells will develop later, but there that's it from me for now. have a great morning — bye—bye! good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. a life—or—death choice — millions are urged to evacuate as hurricane milton heads towards florida. authorities say the storm surges are not survivable. post office chief executive nick read is due in front of the public inquiry into the horizon it scandal today. sophie from romania's story — we'll talk to former bbc correspondent and sophie's owner rory cellan—jones about his new book on their life together.

it's been a whirlwind week for the england amputee lionesses who are booking their flights for the world cup today, having hit their fundraising target. we catch up with them after they were invited to prepare for the tournament with former england captainjohn terry. good morning. it is a cloudy start for many. rain especially across the north and east, a few showers elsewhere. it will brighten up across northern scotland, south wales and southern england with fewer showers into the afternoon. and it will turn colder. i will have all the details shortly. it's wednesday 9th october. millions of americans have been urged to evacuate parts of florida ahead of the arrival of hurricane milton. it strengthened again overnight to become a category 5 storm — the highest rating — and is expected to make landfall in the next 2a hours. forecasters say milton has the potential to be one of the most

destructive hurricanes ever recorded in the region — and presidentjoe biden has described the situation in florida as "a matter of life and death". our reporter steve knibbs has more. siren. an evacuation siren on the streets of redington shores in florida. debris is still piled up after storm helene two weeks ago, and now people are being told they have to leave again. mandatory evacuation orders are in place for nearly six million people. as hurricane milton approaches, many are heading to safety as authorities warn that storm surges could be up to 15 feet — with warnings that if you stay when told to leave, you may not survive. we can rebuild homes, we can rebuild businesses, we can get people back on their feet, but only if they're safe and they survive the storm. we're not going to be able to bring people back who stay behind in 10 or 15 feet of storm surge. hurricane milton is intensifying — now a category five — with speeds around i65mph.

this crew from the national oceanic and atmospheric association — dubbed hurricane hunters — flew through it yesterday and felt its power. damn! on the ground, residents are doing what they can to protect their properties before they leave. but there's real fear here. apprehensive, really anxious. we have two young kids. it's scary. over 50 counties are now under a state of emergency, but not everyone is deciding to flee. we got four, five gallon cans. tommy hall and his family live near venice beach, and they've chosen to weather the incoming storm. we got gas, food, two generators, portable air conditioners to push around to room to room, so i think we might do 0k. but weather forecasters are now warning of the severity

and danger of this storm. voice breaking: it has dropped 50 millibars in ten hours. _ tracking hurricane milton, forecasterjohn morales broke down on air because of fears of what's to come. everything that's going on really does affect you emotionally. and, yeah, my delivery of, um, trying to carry an audience through these type of emergencies, i think it's become... certainly not the same, not alarmist style it was before. non—alarmist style it was before. i am alarmed. milton's strength has already brought flooding along the mexican coast and downed power lines and trees. but the us is bracing itself for much worse, with officials saying that milton has the potential to be one of the most destructive hurricanes on record when it makes landfall later today. steve knibbs, bbc news.

frightening pictures from the other side of the atlantic. carol will explain the science in a moment. let's look in a little more detail at what is expected to happen over the course of today. hurricane milton is currently moving across the gulf of mexico, where warm waters have helped it become a dangerous category five storm. it's expected to make landfall in the next 2a hours. so far, milton has reached a maximum sustained wind speed of i65mph. it's already brushing past mexico ? where it caused coastal flooding. the intensity of the storm can be seen in these pictures from space. you can see here the eye of the storm as it heads towards the florida peninsula. the city of tampa is expected to be one of the worst—affected areas.

earlier on breakfast we spoke to local radio presenterjay retcher and dr nicholas grondin, who specialises in atmospheric science at tampa bay university. both of them have been evacuated from the area. i think, with a storm like this, a storm that has reached such an incredible intensity in the southern gulf, making this angle of approach toward the west coast of florida — it's a very unusual path. no—one alive has seen a storm take this path at this intensity — a storm going up tampa bay at this intensity hasn't happened in over 100 years at this point. it's one of those instances where you get to a situation at this time of year where people understand it's hurricane season, there is a lot of locals, people who have lived in tampa throughout their entire lives, and they usually stay during hurricane season — they'll tough it out — but even those people look what could happen here with hurricane milton, and they're getting out of dodge — they're finding any way to evacuate because this is going to be a historic storm.

jay was telling us he had seen hundreds of thousands of vehicles jamming the freeways as people queued up trying to escape. our correspondent gordon corera sent us this report before he left tampa. here in tampa, there is a sense of time running out ahead of milton's really now imminent arrival. the streets in the city have been eerily quiet — hardly anyone's around. the few people who we have seen have been preparing their homes or their offices for the storm — boarding things up, maybe moving things around. i think one of the things that's quite shocking is, just as you can see around me, the devastation which is still here from hurricane helene, which hit two weeks ago. and there's an enormous amount of debris around, particularly where i am in tampa. and the concern is that the massive surge which will come with milton could lift up all this debris, move it around, cause even more damage.

and the fear is that the surge with milton could be 12 feet or perhaps even more high compared to about half that or less with helene. so it could be very significant indeed. there's a lot of work going on already to think about how the community will respond afterwards. but first of all, they've got to get through that storm, which is nowjust really hours away from arriving here. you can see the situation where gordon was reporting from there. carol has been looking at the forecast and can tell us a bit more about what might happen. good morning. about what might happen. good mornini. ,., ., about what might happen. good mornini _ ,., ., ., this storm rapidly developed. it was a tropical storm and then 2k hours later it was a mammoth category five storm, a hurricane. at the moment it is moving away from the coast of the architect financially, heading towards florida. currently when speeds of 168 mph, that is a sustained wind speed. yesterday

morning it was a category five but it went through what is cold eye wall replacements which we can to a category for macro and when that was complete it was upgraded again to category five. as it reaches florida that we expect it to be a category three are not as a strong but still a huge hurricane. the storm surge up to 15 feet. imagine if you know anyone who is six feet tall, and cover them twice, one on top of the other and a bit more, that is the size of the storm surge that will come in and tremendous amounts of rainfall up to about 15 inches. this is a storm to be reckoned with. that puts it into perspective. thank you for explaining that. we will go back to carol for the uk weather in a few minutes. sally has the rest of the day's news. the post office chief executive, nick read, is due to begin giving evidence today at the inquiry into the horizon it scandal.

mr read joined the post office in september 2019, but has been accused by sub—postmasters of presiding over an insufficient level of change at the organisation. our business reporter peter ruddick has the details. he was the man tasked with moving the post office from scandal to success. but nick read has been accused of leading an organisation that has failed to change. a regular in the inquiry public gallery over recent months, today it's his turn to face questions. nick read joined the post office as the permanent replacement for paula vennells in september 2019. within months, he agreed to settle a case brought by a group of subpostmasters led by sir alan bates. that opened the door to financial redress for victims, and the first scheme was launched in april 2020. cheering. but, more than four years on, many are still waiting for their money. nick read will be asked why the process is taking so long, and if it should really be his organisation handling it.

he will also face accusations he has been too focused on his own pay, and that some in his team still think the post office is the victim. keith bell was falsely prosecuted and lost his life savings. like many, he's eagerly following the inquiry, and wants nick read and others to put subpostmasters back at the heart of the post office. ijust hope he takes the opportunity now to try and come clean, answer the questions that are put to him, and not sort of go around them. you know, um, just take the chance to put the record straight. today won't be nick read's first time in the firing line — he's been quizzed by mps after being accused of bullying a female colleague, and presiding over a toxic culture. mr read denied the claims, and an internal report cleared him of wrongdoing. but criticism remains — and, after being brought into the post office as the face of change, the next three days could

well determine nick read's legacy. peter ruddick, bbc news. conservative mps will decide today which two of the remaining three candidates for the leadership of the party will make it through to a ballot of all members. james cleverly, robertjenrick, and kemi badenoch remain in the race after tom tugendhat was eliminated yesterday. the next leader of the party will be announced on the 2nd of november. the fbi has arrested a man on suspicion of plotting to carry out an attack on the day of the us presidential election. nasir ahmad tawhedi — who is originally from afghanistan — allegedly planned an attack for november 5th, when hundreds of millions of americans will head to the polls. he was detained after he attempted to buy guns from undercover agents. in a statement, the fbi said he was motivated by isis. gas thefts in england, scotland and wales have risen by 25% over the past year. thefts could be tampering with a meter, or bypassing it

from the us is that israel must not hit iran's nuclear sites, its oil production facilities as it plans its response. of course, mr netanyahu has said iran will pay the price. in response to that, iran has already said there would be in response to that, tehran has already said there would be vast destruction in israel if there is an israeli strike and that has really ratcheted up fears once again of a wider regional war. so you have the us stepping in, trying to limit the plans of its closest ally in the middle east, so it seems. but the us has been saying, of course, over the past year, that it does back israel when it comes to going after iran—backed groups — whether it is hamas in gaza, whether it is hezbollah in lebanon — but already there has been a lot of disagreement over the conduct of the war in gaza and now there is a lot of suspicion from the us that while israel

has said it is limited, it's targeted, what it is doing in lebanon, this could be turning into something much bigger in scope. joe root has become england's all—time leading test run scorer. he needed 71 runs to overtake former england captain sir alistair cook during the first innings against pakistan this morning. this four took him to 12,473, and fifth on the all—time list. he still needs more than 3,000 more runs to pass the world leader, sachin tendulkar, from india. laughter he can do that by teatime! of course he can't. sheffield's _ he can do that by teatime! of course he can't. sheffield's finest, - he can do that by teatime! of course he can't. sheffield's finest, joe i he can't. sheffield's finest, joe root, congratulations, - he can't. sheffield's finest, joe root, congratulations, what. he can't. sheffield's finest, joe j root, congratulations, what an achievement.—

we have got a lovely update for you this morning. you may remember sophie the rescue dog from romania who was adopted by former bbc technology correspondent rory cellan—jones and his wife diane in 2022. for the first six months in her new home, sophie was so nervous she barely moved from behind the sofa. ever since then, rory has been documenting his family's attempts to build her confidence, capturing the hearts of thousands on social media. now, he's telling her story in his new book, and hejoins us now. 0h, oh, my goodness. she isjust gorgeous. oh, my goodness. she is 'ust gorgeouafi oh, my goodness. she is 'ust ioireous. ,, , , . ,, oh, my goodness. she is 'ust ”oreous_ ,, , , ., ,, , gorgeous. she is beautiful. she sent her apologies- _ gorgeous. she is beautiful. she sent her apologies. she _ gorgeous. she is beautiful. she sent her apologies. she barely _ gorgeous. she is beautiful. she sent her apologies. she barely goes i gorgeous. she is beautiful. she sent her apologies. she barely goes out | her apologies. she barely goes out of the _ her apologies. she barely goes out of the house, let alone to anywhere public _ of the house, let alone to anywhere public and _ of the house, let alone to anywhere public and busy but we are making progress — public and busy but we are making iroiress. . public and busy but we are making iroiress. , , , public and busy but we are making atl’oi’ess. , , , progress. yes, because we saw her in the early days — progress. yes, because we saw her in the early days when _ progress. yes, because we saw her in the early days when she _ progress. yes, because we saw her in the early days when she was - progress. yes, because we saw her in the early days when she wasjust i the early days when she was just cowering behind the sofa and would only come out when you guys left the

you know, getting her out walking and then expanding that and going on long walks, taking her in the car to places. the good thing is she has got a lot more... in the house, she's got a lot more affectionate and trusting and lies back for belly rubs and so on. so that's good. but it's always frustrating when we go back a step. did you have any idea how much work taking sophie on was going to be? god, no! no. i mean, we'd had a rescue dog who was a bit nervy, but nothing on this scale. and she is, you know, she dominates our lives. mine in particular. presumably, though, you would advise anyone thinking about getting a dog to think very carefully before... i'd say meet the dog. meet the dog. you hadn't met her? no, of course not, because she was in romania and... oh, i thought you'd gone over to... no, no, no, she was... she arrived on a transport. we'd seen a clip of her looking veryjolly and lively. that was a bit misleading, really, about, obviously, her personality. we've taken her on board, she's part of our family.

we can't give up on her. the paparazzi are after you again! rory, you were a very well—known bbc correspondent. but is it fair to say you've possibly become better known as a social media dog owner? definitely. i was walking around here the other day and somebody stopped me and said, "she's more famous than you, mate." and i said, "you're absolutely right." oop! good throw. there we are. all i needed was bribes. good girl! well done, sophie. that was pretty amazing. i don't think... well, i don't think i've seen a stranger give her a treat before. well, this is a morning of breakthroughs! all right? come on, come on, come on. that was fun, wasn't it?

minimum temperature around 8 celsius. then for tomorrow, that cloud will start to shift away southwards. it's dragging in a northerly breeze, despite the sunshine, temperatures significantly chillier tomorrow with a maximum of 12 celsius. it's going to be a chilly night as well, thursday into friday. temperatures close to zero, some of us waking up to a frost on friday morning. but you can see largely dry towards the end of the week. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. broadcaster alastair stewart is one of the most recognisable newsreaders on british television. he's spent more than lio years on air and has travelled the world to cover some of the most important stories of our time. alastair was diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2019, and has spoken openly about the reality of living with the condition and the impact on his family.

he'lljoin us shortly with his wife sally but first, here's a look back at his career in his own words. this is itv news at ten with alastair stewart and natasha kaplinsky. good evening. the simmering anger... after half a century in work, as it were, i do still find it... i find it a bit difficult when there is a — you know, there are big stories going on. the story that was the most important one that i did, and i was very proud about doing it, was the fall of the berlin wall. i did the death of the late queen — queen elizabeth ii. so a bit of me feels i'd like to still be there at the heart of the action. the force of some 20,000 men with m60 tanks and bradley fighting vehicles have crossed into iraq. i'm alastair stewart, and for the first time on british television, live in front of a representative studio audience, we'll be hearing from three men each hoping to be the leader of the next uk government. about two years ago,

i began to feel a bit disorientated, discombobulated, not quite knowing what was going on, where i was sometimes. my emails were getting sloppy — bad spelling, bad grammar — and normally i was meticulous about that. sally's always been incredibly supportive of me. being married to someone who suddenly develops dementia is a hell of a challenge. thank you very much indeed, all of you, for coming in. and that's it this lunchtime — mary nightingale, i think, will have a more peaceful time at 6:30, but from all of us, a very good afternoon to you. bye— bye. got some children to make you feel at home, crawl all over the place, we should have! alastair and sallyjoin us now. you are used to chaos, years of live broadcasting, how are you now? i’m

broadcasting, how are you now? i'm not too broadcasting, how are you now? in not too bad. i think it's a brilliant word to choose, because like the little girl sitting on the desk, i think that my professional life is ok. i still do a bit for gb news, they're very supportive, i did the election, i had to be involved in the budget. it is my private life at home which is chaotic. coming to see you guys this morning, and to support dementia research uk, she had to do my tire. she has to make sure that the braces are ok on the suit and it all matches and hangs together. and it's more than dusk are —— discombobulating, which is what i like to say, it is demeaning. she becomes a carer after half a century of marriage. haifa she becomes a carer after half a century of marriage.— she becomes a carer after half a century of marriage. how is that, sall ? century of marriage. how is that, sally? lt's _ century of marriage. how is that, sally? it's hard _ century of marriage. how is that, sally? it's hard work, _ century of marriage. how is that, sally? it's hard work, it's - sally? it's hard work, it's frustrating. _

with it. and i think you have to do that. part of coming out, to use another expression that he coined about my condition, that's —— that she coined, that's why we wanted to come out, to say to folk, one into people will either have dementia or be directly affected as she is by someone who has dementia because they lived together or are buried. and it's to give people the confidence. if you are worried about your own condition, you can't tell the time on an old—fashioned clock, you can't do your shoelaces up, go and have a conversation with your gp. we have found, perhaps we are lucky in hampshire, our gp has been brilliant. sal has had a diagnosis of breast cancer as well. the nhs has been brilliant, we have not had to wait for anything. if you go and see the gp, there are things you can do to stop this condition getting worse. alzheimer's is different, we are working hard as a charity to try

grandchildren, but god is the best pharmacist imaginable. and the two grandchildren, tommy and jim jan, if either of us are feeling remotely down in the dumps, they are like rocket fuel. it's just fantastic. we are blessed with two grandchildren, four utterly fantastic children, and the most on a full circle of friends, many of whom have popped down to see if everything is going 0k -- down to see if everything is going 0k —— and the most wonderful circle of friends. particularly neat girl friends, helping sally with her condition. so keep in touch with your friends, condition. so keep in touch with yourfriends, isn't people condition. so keep in touch with your friends, isn't people who know what to do like gps, and do it. do what to do like gps, and do it. do what to do like gps, and do it. do what they tell you. you talk about being honest, but was there ever a moment when you thought, i don't want anyone to know this? i think

searches, you kind of realised halfway through, i have sorted this, and you want to do something else! i watch the news very closely still on all channels, and it amused me to see the troubles that are going on in the middle east and the evacuation from lebanon, because ben brown and i did thatjointly last time about a decade ago. and ben and i went there on the dockside when the royal navy frigate came in and took all the brits out. i have done three elections in america as well. so, news, as we all no, it is new, it is news, but there is an echo as well. it is news, but there is an echo as well. :, . , , , : it is news, but there is an echo as well. ., ., , ,, �* �* ., well. you have 'ust missed ben brown because he well. you have just missed ben brown because he was _ well. you have just missed ben brown because he was here _ well. you have just missed ben brown because he was here during _ well. you have just missed ben brown because he was here during the - well. you have just missed ben brown because he was here during the one i because he was here during the one o'clock news yesterday. he is because he was here during the one o'clock news yesterday.— o'clock news yesterday. he is a star as well, o'clock news yesterday. he is a star as well. my — o'clock news yesterday. he is a star as well. my best — o'clock news yesterday. he is a star as well, my best regards _ o'clock news yesterday. he is a star as well, my best regards to - o'clock news yesterday. he is a star as well, my best regards to him - o'clock news yesterday. he is a star| as well, my best regards to him and through you if i made to anna who is a star of the future.

also brighten up across northern scotland with a few showers some of which will be wintry across 700 metres. —— above 700 metres. a few showers in northern ireland. it will feel cold in the winter, quite raw if you are exposed to the wind. it is milder in london, sunshine is really quite pleasant. this evening and overnight, cloud and rain six south, the cloud weakening and turning more showery. behind it is going to be cold. showers will be wintry, three or 400 metres. we are all being exposed to the northerly wind so colder than last night. in sheltered glens, —3 or —1i. we start off with mild conditions in the south tomorrow but the cold air will penetrate further south as the northerly wind gathers. you can see

a lot of dry weather, the cloud and showers clearing away south into the channel islands. and there cloud bubbling up. turning the sunshine hazy at times but most of the showers will be on the windward coast exposed to the northerly wind. will organised showers can begin across the north west. it will feel cold wherever you are tomorrow. the temperatures are below average for the time of year. into friday, a cold and frosty start to the day particularly across england and wales. a lot of dry weather in england, wales, southern scotland and northern ireland. again cloud bubbling up through the day. we have a weather front straight across scotland introducing some showery outbreaks of rain. the wind has changed to a westerly but we already have cold air embedded across our shores, so it is still going to feel

cold. temperatures eight to 12 degrees, iii cold. temperatures eight to 12 degrees, 1a in the channel islands. as we headed to the weekend, we have a ridge of high pressure across us. we current pubs into it so we will see some rain across —— a week front bumping into it so we will see some rain. the rich will keep the rain at bay on sunday so most of us will be dry but later they could be raided can begin from north and west. this week on breakfast, we've followed england's amputee lionesses, who qualified for the first ever amputee world cup in colombia next month. they set out to raise £50,000 to cover the costs of taking part and, if you were watching yesterday, you'll know that they've now easily reached that target. john has been catching up with them and he's here with us now. thanks to a lot of people watching, they reached that target. they are over the moon. bud

they reached that target. they are over the moon.— they reached that target. they are over the moon. : . , , . over the moon. and it means they are bookin: over the moon. and it means they are booking their— over the moon. and it means they are booking their flights _ over the moon. and it means they are booking their flights today. _ over the moon. and it means they are booking their flights today. that - over the moon. and it means they are booking their flights today. that is - booking their flights today. that is great news. the team are absolutely delighted and they have extended their thanks to everybody who has donated money, essentially to get them to the world cup. that was their ambition and they have realised that. it has had such a realised that. it has had such a real impact and 70 people have become invested in their story this week. —— so many people. one of thoseis week. —— so many people. one of those is the former chelsea and england captainjohn terry was inspired by their story, it got in touch with them this week, and said he would like to help and invited them down for a vip day at chelsea yesterday. the dream is a reality. the amputee lionesses are off to the world cup. i get a bit emotional sometimes, you know, because obviously it was a horror two years and now that i have a family around me, you know, all these women are so amazing.

0h, ijust, i get emotional because they're all amazing. hi, girls. here, the former england and chelsea captain, john terry, welcomed the team to chelsea's training ground, having seen and been inspired by their story. oh, it's yesterday afternoon, kind of seen the tweet, so we retweeted it. you've been there, you've played at a world cup. what's it going to be like for them now? well, hopefully they go a little bit further than we managed to! it's been a whirlwind day for the amputee lionesses and annabel kiki, who appeared on breakfast yesterday morning before being driven down to the training ground for the next stop on their world cup journey. every girl on that team deserves this and i just want to say a massive thank you to everybody who's donated because you got us to this world cup. before appearing on breakfast this week, the team were still short of their £50,000 target, but thanks to the generosity of the viewers and now support here from across the football community, they're heading to the tournament in colombia next month.

they've been on a journey for the last year, trying to raise funds for being able to go to the world cup in colombia. we've managed to help and you guys have, as well. so a big thank you for helping them, as well. but they're absolutely delighted, we've managed to get them to their target, which means they'll be going to the world cup. you can now book flights! absolutely fantastic, yeah. the girls are on the way - to colombia, it's unbelievable. it's about time we took. disabled people seriously as athletes as well. photographed here in the england kit they will wear at the tournament, their stories continue to inspire other girls that they too can become amputee lionesses. it's about showing them — these younger girls like you — can also go to a world cup. yeah, yeah. you know, abled, disabled, it doesn't mean you can't play football. and being an amputee has changed our lives — for obvious reasons sometimes, but, you know, bringing football into our lives has, you know, been a life—saver for me.

it's always been my safe space. so now that we get to offer that to younger people, itjust makes it even more important that we get out and do what we're doing and getting it known out there and getting these girls the support they deserve. and it means that, you know, next 20 years, we're going to have so many girls built up with experience and strength, and just shows them that they can do whatever they put their mind to. it's been an incrediblejourney for annabel and two other members of the team who actually met on the eurovision stage, performing with sam ryder last year. ..a eurovision fan favourite! # i am a mountain and down in the valley below... his song mountain was written about the amputee community and, we have got a couple of surprises. the owners of chelsea have opened

the doors for you to come and have a little kickabout today, you have done that and you have shown me up! having been invited byjohn to round off the day watching chelsea women in a european match at stamford bridge last night, it was smiles all round as they now prepare to perform on the biggest stage of all... it's coming home! ..next month. they had a brilliant day, john has been full of enthusiasm about that day at chelsea. we look forward to the next stage. let's stay with football there. in the two decades since he retired from professional football, we've seen neil ruddock try his hand at cooking on celebrity masterchef, tackle the isolation of the big brother house and face his fears on i'm a celebrity get me out of here. but away from his tv career, he's faced a number of challenges with his mental and physical health. in his new book, toxic, he opens up about his struggles with food addiction, issues with self—confidence and his relationship with alcohol. hejoins us now.
