The 7. 1 magnitude quake brought down dozens of buildings in the capital, mexico city, and surrounding areas. Emergency services, with the help of hundreds of volunteers, are sifting through the rubble in an effort to find survivors, as james cook reports. Sirens in mexico city they are struggling to save lives. This is one of the most densely packed places on earth. More than 20 Million People live here, and this earthquake has hit them hard. Translation we left, and when we left, the building started collapsing. I mean, 30 seconds after we left the building came down. In the minutes after the quake, columns of dust rose into the air, hinting of the devastation. The capital alone, dozens of buildings, including schools and office blocks, were destroyed or damaged. Schoolchildren are among the dead. The president says its a national emergency. The huge tremor struck around lunchtime, prompting panic and sending people running into the streets. Fires have been reported and people are being urged not to smoke because of the danger from gas leak. These distressing pictures appear to show a building coming down sometime after the initial shock. 0n the streets of the city, a Field Hospital with doctors treating patients anywhere they can. And its clear that the damage goes well beyond mexico city. The epicentre of the earthquake was actually more than 100 kilometres to the south east, in puebla province, where reports of deaths and damages are widespread. Earthquake alarms did sound but some residents apparently thought they were part of a day of drills on the anniversary of a devastating quake in 1985. Now the 19th of september will be remembered in mexico city for not one but two disasters. 0ur correspondent in mexico city isjuan paullier. He can bring us more detail. Thank you for talking to was on the programme this morning. What was the first time you knew this earthquake was hitting mexico city . |j first time you knew this earthquake was hitting mexico city . I was actually in the bbc bureau, in our office here, when the building started to shake. It was obviously a very powerful earthquake. I had to evacuate as soon as possible. I ran downstairs and while i was doing that part of the ceiling fell onto my head. Sorry about the cliche, but i wasnt sure at that time if i was going to be able to make it to the street safely. Luckily i did, but obviously this is a major tragedy for mexico city and for the country. The death toll has been rising. The number of casualties is at the moment close to 150 and in the last few minutes it was announced that at least 20 children and four adults we re least 20 children and four adults were killed in the collapse of a Primary School here in the south of the capital. Without any doubt it has been a tragic and distressing day here in mexico. There are rescue effo rts day here in mexico. There are rescue efforts under way in different parts of the country and this is a city still in shock. It was quite a heavy and prolonged shaking and a few seconds were enough to destroy dozens seconds were enough to destroy d oze ns of seconds were enough to destroy dozens of buildings. I was on the streets until recently and the scene was one of chaos and mounting desperation. You were talking about the school. Weve seen pictures of volu nteers the school. Weve seen pictures of volunteers removing rubble. What has the response being like . Referred hundreds of people have been out there, looking for those who might be trapped. Well, many residents of the capital are still outside on the street, fearful of returning to the buildings. Many of them are helping, volunteering, bringing whatever they find, whatever they can, to the rescue workers that are working close to the most affected buildings. I have to say that even for a country sadly used to this kind of earthquakes, on the streets i havent seen a very co ordinated response. Thank you very much for giving us that extra detail this morning. Please stay safe and hopefully we will speak to you later. That was our correspondent in mexico city. We will be following this story throughout the morning, as the ongoing rescue effort continues. Residents of the Virgin Islands and puerto rico are braced for the arrival of Hurricane Maria, the latest powerful storm to hit the caribbean. With winds reaching 175 miles an hour, maria has intensified yet again to a category five overnight and has already devastated parts of the region. Its continuing to strengthen as it approaches puerto rico where our correspondent will grant has been monitoring events. Whole swathes of the caribbean have barely had time to draw breath before Hurricane Maria started causing fresh devastation, the most vulnerable islands including the former french colonies of guadeloupe and martinique. Authorities ordered evacuations. Reports say at least one person died in guadeloupe. The tiny island of dominica was directly in the path of the huge storm and apparently suffered some of the worst of the damage. These pictures, as yet unverified, show the moment the lights went out. The countrys Prime Minister described the situation as it was unfolding on his facebook page. As the storm bears down on the us Virgin Islands, and puerto rico, people boarded up their houses and shut down businesses and schools. The territorys governor urged people to take cover with family and friends, or in emergency shelters. If you are in a flood zone or a wooden housing, he said, your life is in danger. Around 60,000 people in puerto rico are without power after hurricane irma, one week ago. At the time, people here breathed a collective sigh of relief. This time, though, many fear the impact will be far more significant. The vast majority of people are now hunkering down and hoping that this, the most powerful storm to strike the island in almost 100 years, does not bring too much devastation with it. Police investigating the bombing at Parsons Green tube station in london have arrested a third man. The 25 year old was detained yesterday evening in newport in south wales and a search has been carried out at an address in the city. Two other men remain in custody. Theresa may will use a speech at the United Nations later today to urge Internet Companies to take action against online extremism. Meanwhile, brexit continues to be a key issue for World Leaders gathering in new york this week, from where our deputy political correspondent, john pienaar, sent this report. Theresa may will use her term at the un to return to her theme of tackling online extremism. She will call for more Co Ordination between nations, offering british helped to countries seeking to tackle and takedown dangerous content. Shell be meeting leaders of italy and france as part of that effort to bring about more Co Ordination. It is all part of her efforts to make sure that britain continues to be a Global Player up to and after brexit. And brexit is still an issue that haynes in the air over this week. She will be going to florence on friday for that big, big speech. It is promised to be a defining contribution by the Prime Minister. The speculation about what is in it continues in the format they believe she will continue to put money into the eu, at least while britain makes its transition out of the eu, to break the deadlock of negotiations in brussels. No word from downing street on that. But, as i say, the anticipation continues to grow and all eyes will be on borisjohnson. Hes been here with the Prime Minister and is expected to be with her in florence. We will see whether he is entirely on her side. He says he is and has no thought of resigning, but his reaction to the speech is going to be critical. Because this speech could put all sorts of things on the line the unity of the cabinet, the unity of the party. It could turn out to be a great anti climax. But the stakes are so high that a simple, business as normal speech is not an option. He is on the front pages of some of the papers too, which we will look at shortly. Police in brazil say a british woman has been murdered while attempting to kayak the length of the amazon. The body of emma kelty, a former head teacher from london, still hasnt been found. The 43 year old was last seen close to the border with peru in an area known for pirate attacks and drug traffickers. Three people have been arrested over her death, as richard main reports. Her motto was dont put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Emma kelty was a former head teacher from london who embraced extreme challenges. Earlier this year, she became one of only a handful of women to ski solo to the south pole, before embarking on an epic 4000 mile trip from the source of the amazon in peru through brazil to its mouth at the atlantic. Earlier this year, she acknowledged the dangers she may face on her adventure. Year, she acknowledged the dangers she may face on her adventurem year, she acknowledged the dangers she may face on her adventure. It is humid, has tons of wildlife, quite dangerous wildlife, and even the dangers of the people, who organ harvest a nd dangers of the people, who organ harvest and fired guns and all the rest of it. So complete opposite to what i was doing two months ago. The area she disappeared in close to the peruvian border is known to be a major drug smuggling route, with frequent reports of violent pirate activity on the river. Last week she tweeted about a run in with a group of armed men. A day before transmitting a distress signal. Police say her canoe was then found abandoned on the riverbank. Some of her possessions had been sold in a nearby village. Her body hasnt yet in soundbite resilient officials have arrested three people, including a teenager who they say has confessed to the murder. Yet been found but resilient. She has been found but resilient. She has been praised for adventurous spirit and her family said been praised for adventurous spirit and herfamily said they been praised for adventurous spirit and her family said they were proud of achievement and the strength will be sorely missed. Teenagers in the uk are experiencing worryingly high rates of depression according to a study of more than 10,000 teenagers, born around the turn of the century. Researchers from the University College london and the university of liverpool found nearly a quarter of girls and one in ten boys reported having symptoms of depression. Down and lonely and a little bit hopeless, i couldnt really see a future for myself. This is how kat describes her 14 year old self. Struggling with anxiety and depression and desperately trying to hold a live together. Every day youve got to pretend you are kay and thats the the only reason youve got to do that is because you dont know why you are sad and its easier than making up an excuse, if make an excuse like i did you get caught ina make an excuse like i did you get caught in a web of lies and eventually someone finds you out and thenit eventually someone finds you out and then it just eventually someone finds you out and then itjust your whole situation worse. Now a longterm study shows a significant number of teens are also struggling with Mental Health issues. At age 11, parents of both boys and girls reported that 12 experienced emotional problems, but at 14 when the children were asked themselves nearly a quarter of girls reported feeling depressed. Among boys, one in ten said they had also felt down. The numbers of people experiencing depression is increasing. One of the authors of the report said this is an issue that needs to be faced. Metal Health Difficulties experienced early in life, childhood adolescence, are a predictor of Mental Health throughout your life. When these young people become adults they are more likely to suffer Mental Health problems. So in terms of healthcare provision of Public Health this is a big issue and we need to be thinking about this. Cat, now a student nurse, offers this advice to those going through what she did. Talk about your feelings and seek help. We shall be speaking to the author of the report later. Let you know what let us know what you think. We are talking about the Womens National team, mark sampson, we are talking about the Womens Nationalteam, mark sampson, it we are talking about the Womens National team, mark sampson, it has been a difficult summer for him, national team, mark sampson, it has been a difficult summerfor him, he has faced allegations of discrimination and bullying off the pitch, but this was their first match in world cup qualifying in russia since they got knocked out of the euros. I dont think you can win better than 6 0. The euros. I dont think you can win better than 60. You can tell by the picture, cant you . It was quite telling, because we know the accusations we face, but all of the tea m accusations we face, but all of the team after the opening goal went to celebrate with their manager as a show of unity. Perhaps that shows how things are in the camp at the moment, following what has been a difficult summer. Lets start with that opening goal, shall we . Nikita paris opened the scoring for england, and after that, they all ran over to celebrate with mark sampson on the sidelines. And a real show of unity from the team, after what has been a difficult summer for all involved. This own goal from Rachel Furniss saw Northern Ireland slip to a 2 0 defeat to neighbours the republic. Northern ireland are the lowest ranked side in their group, and have now lost their opening two fixtures. What a goal for leicester. Islam slimanis strike, knocking liverpool out of the efl cup, 2 0. It meansjurgen klopps side are now without a win in september. And hitting a first one day century for your country, Jonny Bairstow was delighted as he made 100 to help england to victory over west indies in the first of their five match series. So1 0 up and so 1 0 up and looking good for england at the moment. Very good. We will be keeping you up to date, if you have just turned will be keeping you up to date, if you havejust turned on will be keeping you up to date, if you have just turned on your television, with the earthquake in mexico, and we have been talking about irma, and now Hurricane Maria is taking our attention. Good morning to you. This is a satellite picture showing where Hurricane Maria has been. It is a category 5 hurricane, the highest category of hurricane, the highest category of hurricane there is. To reach category 5 you need sustained wind speeds of 155 mph. At the moment this hurricane has sustained wind speeds of 175 mph and from the centre of the eye outwards we are looking at a 60 mile radius under the influence of Hurricane Maria. Todayit the influence of Hurricane Maria. Today it is taking a track, a more southerly track than we thought yesterday, passing by the United States Virgin Islands into puerto rico, and later tonight, the dominican republic. As it makes contact with puerto rico it will lose some of its intensity and is likely to be downgraded to category 4. But this is still likely to cause catastrophic damage, so we are keeping a very close eye on Hurricane Maria. Closer to home it is mainly dry start. Some bits and pieces of rain here and there, courtesy of some weather fronts. The second weather front coming in will introduce heavy rain across Northern Ireland and western scotland. If you follow the isobars coming up from the south, that is a mild direction for us, so some of us will feel quite muddy today. Temperatures could get up in some parts of southern areas to around 20 or 21. A dry start, a fair bit of clout around, rain coming in across Northern Ireland and western scotland. Some of that is likely to be heavy later in the day. Push further east and there is some muck around this morning. Some of us will see some breaks in the cloud and some brighter skies. Temperatures around about the low teens to the mid teens first thing. You can see where we have the cloud of the south, thick enough here and therefore the odd spot of rain. Some brea ks therefore the odd spot of rain. Some breaks that cloud as we push towards east anglia and the south east, so some of us will see some sunshine. The wind will be a feature accompanying this rain coming in from the west. The wind strengthening, not quite reaching gale force, and under the rain, in the north that will feel cool. In the north that will feel cool. In the south we are looking at higher temperatures, and in sunshine a similar story. Some parts of north east wales, the south West Midlands, could be anywhere between 19 and 21 through the course of the day. If you are in the sunshine that wont feel too bad at all. As we head through the evening and overnight we have our two fronts continuing the journey from the west towards the east. Some of this rain will be heavy, windy with it as well, and it clears Northern Ireland early on in the western fringes of wales in the south west of england. It doesnt quite reach the far south east in the later in the day. You can see where south east in the later in the day. You can see where we south east in the later in the day. You can see where we have that line of rain, still pretty warm in the south east. 19, 20, 8021 as we fringe back towards Northern Ireland. We are looking at highs of 15, so some fresher conditions. From thursday into friday, that weather front continues its journey, thursday into friday, that weather front continues itsjourney, pushing eventually away from the south east, only to be replaced in the west by another one, introducing some wet and windy conditions, but drier in between. The forecast for friday a lot of dry weather when we lose our first front, the second one coming in from the west will bring in some wet and windy weather as it does so. The cloud will build ahead of this weather front. Temperature wise we are looking at 13 in the north to about 19 are looking at 13 in the north to about19 in are looking at 13 in the north to about 19 in the south. Plenty more information on the course of maria throughout the morning. We will speak to somebody on the island of st kitts in a few moment time. On the island of st kitts in a few moment time. The papers talking about what may or may not be going on in the cabinet. Horacejohnson was not meant to be meeting members of the press, but then he did, in a lift, and had a good chat to them. He was as happy as a bird singing in a nest. The reason he is looking slightly dishevelled, we may say, is because he had been out for a Four Mile Run in new york. This is the times this morning. Johnson backs off after clash over brexit and their picture is of emma kelty, who went missing on a solo kayaking trip. She has been confirmed dead and her family have set the world is and her family have set the world is a much smaller place without her, overnight. We will bring more detail later this morning. The front page of the guardian, donald trump addressing the un, his first address, talking about. A strong speech talking about totally destroying north korea. In the front page of the daily mail has an interesting story about what has been going on at the un. Theresa may will talk about Internet Companies and say that they need to take down jihadist videos within two hours. Interesting, isnt it . If that is even possible. What have you got for us . We are talking famous football managers and famous fathers. Darren ferguson, whose side, doncaster, goes up against arsenal, against arsene wenger, of course, and he has been using his fathers advice to get the better of arsene wenger. And nigel clough, whose father was brian clough, going up againstjose mourinho, and he says clough, going up againstjose mourinho, and he sastose mourinho actually reminds him a little bit of his father. And the headline writers are his father. And the headline writers a re clever, his father. And the headline writers are clever, as well, they . Big story in business is toysrus, and they have big problems at the moment. The Daily Telegraph picks up on that story, because in the us, the Parent Company which owns the toysrus chain in the uk as well has filed for bankruptcy. The basic story behind this is the fact that the toy industry and how we buy our toys has changed a lot. A lot of people buy things on my now, rather than in stores. They have had a massive price war with online retailers, which has meant they have ended up with loads of debt. A lot of their suppliers, like mattel and hasbro, some of the Biggest Toy Companies in the world, they have seen their prices fall off the back of this. I am told the stores. The business will run as usual in the uk at the moment, but i will be talking about that in about half an hour. And sometimes on breakfast we turn up wearing the same thing. Look at that they are not bridesmaids, they all turned up to a wedding in australia. That is the worst nightmare, if you turn up and someone is in the same dress as you. More proof that men have it very easy, dont we, john . The tie is the only thing that we have got. It is the latest major hurricane to hit the caribbean in the last month, and this morning, maria continues to cause devastation. The category 5 storm is now bearing down on the Virgin Islands and puerto rico. 0ther islands are now assessing the sheer scale of destruction, with the Prime Minister of st kitts and nevis, timothy harris, declaring a National Clean up day. Lets speak now to his communications adviser, lena samuels. Good morning to you. Just tell us, what can you tell us about what has happened, and what kind of impact it has had, and this hurricane . Good morning. Well, it has been pretty consistent in the way it has battered the island. The wins have been really quite strong. The rain has not given up. It is only now that we are beginning to feel a little bit of relief with the wins. We know that some of the roads have been damaged. There have been some landslides, and some rocks have been falling. We have powerlines down, but it wont be until dawn arrives, which will be 6am here, probably five hours behind where you are, it is only then that the light will show what the damage has been. And we re show what the damage has been. And were people able to prepare at all . Well, i think with hurricane irma, it was a bit of a dress rehearsal. People were able to see much more quickly what they needed to do. The sunday beforehand, people were in the stores, really stocking up on everything they needed, food and water, and they were generally listening to the advice, going indoors, staying indoors, knowing it was not safe for them to be out on the roads. Thank you very much for updating us on the situation. Chris austin is head of the uk task force based in barbados, from where the uk response is being co ordinated. Chris, thank you for your time joining us on breakfast this morning. What is the situation, both fear and where else have you visited . Barbados is ok, where our joint task force is based, but the british Virgin Islands received extensive damage from irma, a bigger hurricane than Hurricane Maria, which has not yet hit those areas but will do in the next 24 to 48 hours. Dominica, as your viewers will know, bore the brunt of the first part of maria, and we are hoping to get some of our experts out to dominica today to help with early relief. Meanwhile, further north in the british Virgin Islands, where the relief effort has been under way for about ten days, and the recovery has started, we have been helping to get Power Supplies and communications back. Those things are battened down. There is a risk that some things will need to be fixed, and that people will be more displaced from their homes and shelter by what is about to hit them. We have a big challenge, as your previous guest said, from st kitts, and we are ready to help in any way we can. I am sure you are aware there has been some criticism of the british response. Do you feel you have the resources to do what you have the resources to do what you need to do . Yes, i do. And we have had as a matter of policy base in the region for several years, stopped with supplies and troops who can help. Military, a lot of capability, particularly heavy lift equipment. And they have been able to deliver supplies to the affected areas pretty quickly. I have about 100 civilian experts as well, including colleagues from private Sector Companies helping with restoring communications and power. We have had to pause the activities in the british Virgin Islands while maria comes, but i am glad we have been able to get a big supply of Building Materials online yesterday. That will be ready to repair the houses and buildings which will be damaged further, we expect, when maria hits that area in the next 24 or 48 hours. Thank you for talking to us. Throughout the programme, we will keep you up to date on what is happening there, as well as in the caribbean, with Hurricane Maria, and also with this earthquake overnight in mexico as well. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london news. A man wanted for questioning about a car parking scam at Gatwick Airport which left hundreds of holidaymakers stranded is now believed to have fled the country. The vehicles were supposed to have been valet parked, but instead they were abandoned in fields, public roads, and even supermarket car parks. Now, the director of gatwickfirstparking, umar irshad, is thought to be in pakistan, and west sussex trading standards is warning there is now little chance of him being prosecuted. Currently i would say a very slim chance, unfortunately, for us to pursue any action, and equally for consumers to get any recompense back orany consumers to get any recompense back or any refunds associated with their contract. Almost three quarters of London Companies who employ workers from the eu have rated the uncertainty of the uks future role in europe as one of their top concerns, according to a recent survey by the cbi.

But once more it isa yesterday afternoon. But once more it is a rather chilly start. We saw temperatures drop back into single figures last night, and there are a few early patches of mist and fog around as well, so a bit of a hazy start for some. Lots of sunshine, though, throughout the day. There will be some high cloud coming and going, of course, can we start to draw ina going, of course, can we start to draw in a southerly breeze, bringing some milder air our way, so temperatures will be slightly higher than they were yesterday, maybe up to 18 or 19 degrees in central london.

It is going to be a bit milder, a bit easier than it was last night, temperatures sticking in double figures, and mistand temperatures sticking in double figures, and mist and fog not quite so much of a problem into tomorrow morning.

This is one of the most densely packed places on earth. More than 20 Million People live here, and this earthquake has hit them hard. Translation we left, and when we left, the building started collapsing. I mean, 30 seconds after we left the building came down.

In the capital alone, dozens of buildings, including schools and office blocks, were destroyed or damaged. Schoolchildren are among the dead. The president says its a national emergency. The huge tremor struck around lunchtime, prompting panic and sending people running into the streets. Fires have been reported and people are being urged not to smoke because of the danger from gas leak. These distressing pictures appear to show a building coming down sometime after the initial shock. 0n the streets of the city, a Field Hospital with doctors treating patients anywhere they can. And its clear that the damage goes well beyond mexico city. The epicentre of the earthquake was actually more than 100 kilometres to the south east, in puebla province, where reports of deaths and damages are widespread. Earthquake alarms did sound but some residents apparently thought they were part of a day of drills on the anniversary of a devastating quake in 1985. Now the 19th of september will be remembered in mexico city for not one but two disasters. More on that throughout the morning. Residents of the Virgin Islands and puerto rico are bracing themselves for the arrival of Hurricane Maria, which us forecasters have said could have a potentially catastrophic impact.

Emma kelty, a former head teacherfrom london, had been documenting her expedition on social media but stopped posting six days ago. Her body has not yet been found, but three people have been arrested over her death. Its a really tragic story to bring you this morning. What have you got for us . Weve got a bit of football this morning. We are talking world cup altercations. Its been difficult for the women, with applications levelled against their manager mark sampson. He has been cleared of wrongdoing but it was important for the team to show a sense of unity. They did that. You will see in a moment the reaction after scoring. It is interesting one of the players was quite vocal on social media, saying they are worried that there are all divisions and perhaps the team. A young table to speak openly through fear of perhaps being dropped. So while its a big performance i think there are still concerns off the field that all isnt well. A perfect start for the team and the manager. Nikita parris gave them the lead and then ran over with her team mates to embrace their manager in a show of support following the allegations hes faced. There was much more to come though. 60, 6 0, five different scorers. The pick of them had to be this one from lucy bronze. 0ne pick of them had to be this one from lucy bronze. One of the best goals on the night as they went on to win 60. It was a difficult time, for eve ryo ne it was a difficult time, for everyone involved. It is a serious situation and everyone is aware of that and i think we tried our best to be as respectful as we can, but again its about the football and the players have really focused on that. The staff has been have been incredible as well and when you prepare well you give yourself a chance. Northern irelands women were beaten 2 0 at home by the republic of ireland. Rachel furniss with an own goal to hand the republic the lead. Megan campbell completed the scoring in the second half. Leicester knocked liverpool out of the efl cup. Shinji 0kazaki with their opener, but have a look at this for their second. That was from Islam Slimani as leicester reach the fourth round. A couple of premier league sides have been knocked out by lower league opposition. Bristol city knocked out stoke and leeds beat burnley on penalties. All the results are on the bbc sport website. Two quarter finals ties in the Scottish League cup tonight. Hibs beat livingstone 3 2 and rangers needed extra time to win at partick. Its always nice making a century and even better when it is when you are opening for your country. Jonny ba i rstow are opening for your country. Jonny bairstow reached 100. Ben stokes ended up winning the same amount of runs. A huge performance from england as they take the lead in the five match series. It has obviously been a long time coming. I made my debut a long time ago in cardiff and its been a bit of a rollercoaster in od its been a bit of a rollercoaster in 0d to date. Its been nice to play a little bit more recently and yeah i hope its a stepping block for things to come. Have you ever been given a present you really didnt want . How would you react . |j how would you react . I got some catch up from an auntie once and my mum gave me the look to say i had to say thank you. I suppose you could put it to use. Not if you are a juventus fad who got a shirt of another team. He is a hugejuventus fan and he discovered it was an integral and shirt. Look at the look of the stain on his face outrageous disdain. We need accomplish and for that but he did actually get the shirt that he really wa nted. Actually get the shirt that he really wanted. The juventus shirt. A cruel trick. Funny, but a little bit cruel. They should have taken it off him for his poor attitude when he got the first one. Thank you very much. From exam stress to changing bodies, its no secret many teenagers have a lot on their mind. But new research from University College london and the university of liverpool suggests nearly a quarter of 14 year old girls surveyed and one in ten boys reported experiencing symptoms of depression. Researchers say the figures show worryingly high rates of depression among youngsters. Lets speak to the reports lead author, dr praveetha patalay. Thank you very much for talking to us. How concerned are you by the findings of this report . Quite concerned, because the rates are a bit higher than weve seen in previous generations, so it seems to suggest that the high levels of Mental Health problems we already knew existed in teenagers is probably increasing even further. So this has large implications for planning policy and prevention both in school based settings and Mental Health services. Isnt there an issue that if you ask teenagers to ask for themselves whether they feel depressed or elements of depression, they are likely to say yes . Can we really trust the findings of this research . Well, they werent asked if they were depressed. They were asked standardised questions that have been asked for many years, that are symptoms of depression, and how much they experience on the symptoms. And then we take those measures and we look at the scores and there are established ways of deciding how high as core indicates a presence of depression. So, yes, some teenagers might respond. More likely respond, but given the prevalence of depression in previous generations, todays teenagers are more likely to say they are feeling lonely and sad all the time. I dont think thats properly explaining this. How do you differentiate from the genuine Mental Health issues which are really serious and something we talk about a lot in this programme and the kevin and perry syndrome that many teenagers find themselves in . Well, i think in terms of severity everyone goes through periods of feeling sad and thats a normal part of human experience, however it is the duration and severity. So it is for how long and how severe these victims are and if you experience enough numbers of symptoms for large durations of time it starts affecting other aspects of your life, so it affects your relationships, your academic performance, your relationship with your parents and peers, so theres this element of what impact it on young people, not just this element of what impact it on young people, notjust at this age but also through the rest of their lives, because we know from other Research Studies that experiencing high levels of difficulties in adolescence is predictive of experiencing adverse Mental Ill Health and also other Mental Health outcomes throughout your life. How do we address and use these findings . I think they are red flag to say that we need to do more in terms of supporting schools, supporting. More resources, more provision, more research to try to understand why numbers are increasing and how we can prevent future generations from reaching such high levels to begin with. Thank you very much. You are watching breakfast. Good morning to you. Here is carol with a look at this mornings weather. And from what the picture looks like, it looks like it might be quite nice. For some of us, yes, it will be quite nice. Four others there is rain on the wave. But this morning, generally speaking it is dry rain on the way. The first weather front coming our way, dry rain on the way. The first weatherfront coming our way, and the second will bring in some heavy rain. Following those isobars from the south, we are pumping up some mild air today. For some it will feel mighty, some parts of wales and england will get up to 20 or 21 celsius today. But elsewhere, it is not necessarily that picture. What we have is rain spreading across Northern Ireland and western scotland, accompanied by gusty winds. Later today some of this rain will be heavy, particularly in western scotland. I of it, across the highlands, the grampians, we will see some sunshine. You can see the cloud building across the southern up lines. Northern ireland having that moving from west to east, but for Northern England, for wales, the west of england, into the midlands, down towards the isle of wight, we have that failed cloud just ahead of the weather front. But even so, we will see some holes in it. Certainly a brighter start in some parts of the south east, with some parts of the south east, with some sunshine, and the cloud thick enough for the odd spot of rain as well. Through the course of the day the rain does not advance particular quickly, but it will fringe into parts of wales, england, the cloud building ahead of it, and the sunshine hanging on across parts of the south and the south east. Across north east wales, the midlands, there could be temperatures of 18 or 19, even 20 or 21, there could be temperatures of 18 or 19, even 20 or21, and if there could be temperatures of 18 or 19, even 20 or 21, and if you there could be temperatures of 18 or 19, even 20 or21, and if you are in the sunshine and out of the wind, that will feel quite person, but it will feel cooler in the rain further north. Through the afternoon, our banks of rain continued to move from the west to the east, again no great rush. We start off with that band of rain through the central swathes of the uk at times. It will also be heavy as it continues its journey, moving east, but not arriving in parts of east anglia and cat until around dusk or a bit after. Temperatures of 20 or 21. Behind it a return to brighter conditions initially across Northern Ireland and western scotland, wales and the south west, are just a few showers. You will notice the difference in the temperature, 14 or 15. From thursday into friday we hang onto that weather front. It continues to move slowly away, weakening all the time as it does so, only to be replaced by another one coming in from the west, and that will bring in some rain and some strengthening winds. This time, with exposure, we could see some gales. We start on friday with a front clearing away from the east. A lot of sunshine around, and out towards the west we have wet and windy conditions coming our way, feeling fresher if you are stuck underneath that band. As we push further south, you are looking ata high push further south, you are looking at a high of 19, and that is going to be nice. Thank you, see you later. One of britains biggest toy retailers says it is business as usual, despite its Parent Company in the us filing for bankruptcy. Steph has more. Yes, it is a story i have been watching for a couple of days. There are concerns about what was going to happen with toys r us, and i am pleased to say, business as usual in the uk. We found out yesterday that the company in the us and canada has filed for what is called chapter 11 bankruptcy. This allows the company to sort out its problems while being protected from its creditors. The reason the Company Needs this protection is that it has run up some massive debts, nearly 4 billion, and around £300 million of this is due to be paid next year. The company says it is business as usual, and it confirmed that in the uk it is planning to go ahead with new store openings before christmas in four major cities. But, nevertheless, this will all be of concern to the thousands of staff who work in the companys 100 or so stores. Russ mould watches Companies Like toys r us very closely. He is investment director at the stockbroker aj bell. Good morning to you. What has happened, what has gone wrong . You have summed it up. Debt is the major problem. The company was acquired in 2005 and it has been saddled with a lot of the debt used to buy at, in terms of leveraged buyouts. The companys terms of leveraged buyouts. The compa nys net debt terms of leveraged buyouts. The companys net debt position has gone from 100 million to around four or 5 billion over the last few years. It is busy paying interest on the debt, so it hasnt had the money to invest and reinvent itself for the digital age. So the debt has hampered it so that when amazon or walmart has come hunting, or other new Toy Companies with very efficient internet sites, it has not been able to defend itself. It has therefore been undercut on price while it has been struggling to pay off its debt, and that is a difficult combination. So what happens now . Well, they have not gone bust. As you say, they are looking for protection. They are trying to find a way to pay the debt back. It will probably take a lot longer, maybe at a different interest rate, but what they are trying to do is reassure their staff and customers, and above all reassure their suppliers. Just think about it. If you were a chinese toymaker about to put something on a boat to come to america in six weeks in time for america or in time for christmas or thanksgiving, if there is nothing on the shelves, then the cash wont come in and they definitely cant pay the debt, and thatis definitely cant pay the debt, and that is when you get into a really nasty spiral. That is what they are trying to avoid right now by saying to the suppliers we will find a way to the suppliers we will find a way to get the money, pay you, keep the customers happy and trade through this, and ultimately pay back the people who have learned us the money. It is interesting you mention the suppliers, because of the knock on effect. We saw some of the massive toymakers like mattel and hasbro, they fell off this. It doesnt mean that the toy market is weak. I dont think it is. It is growing about 5 per year. The graphics helps, more babies and more children, so that is a good thing. But it is a very price competitive market. We have amazon undercutting you, the internet firms undercutting you, the internet firms undercutting you, and if you have debt, you need to make a certain amount of profit to make a certain amount of profit to pay off that debt. You cant be quite as flexible on price as your rivals at times. Thats it for me for now. Foo fighters frontman dave grohl has revealed prince harry visited him in hospital after he broke his leg while on tour in 2015. In an exclusive interview for the bbc, the singer also said the injury helped to inspire the bands new album. He was speaking to the bbcs entertainment correspondent colin paterson, along with foo fighters drummer taylor hawkins. Well, you know, the funny thing is falling off the stage in sweden and breaking my leg on the last record tour was actually kind of at the beginning. It was at the beginning of the tour, almost. Yes, i mean, we had only been doing shows for a couple of months at that point. So we had 70 more shows, 60 more shows after that. It didnt hurt when it happened, then it was hard to tour for six months afterwards, sitting in this ridiculous throne thing. I was physically exhausted, i was mentally exhausted, and emotionally drained, and mentally exhausted, and emotionally drained, and ijust thought, you know, lets just stop for a while. Lets ta ke know, lets just stop for a while. Lets take a year off. Which is a long time frost. Some bands disappearfor long time frost. Some bands disappear for five long time frost. Some bands disappearforfive or six long time frost. Some bands disappear for five or six years. I cant imagine doing that. You know, i dont really have friends outside of the members of the foo fighters, you no . It is such a big part of allies that it is hard to away from. And in those six months i got reclusive and isolated, and depressed and doubt, and i eventually realised, the one thing that makes me the most happy in life is making music, and making it with my friends. A lot of the lyrics were written in the short period of time, just as trump got the nomination to run for president of the United States of america. You know, seeing what that was doing to just the general psyche of america, our country was just flipping out in disbelief that this is actually happening. It is what we would talk about everyday while we were writing the record, it was like every day was a new tweet. What happened backstage with you and harry at the Invictus Games . It was the night before the Invictus Games, we were playing at the ambassadors house. I was tired, i wasjetlag, and we met him, and we started having real talk, and i was, like, i him, and we started having real talk, and i was, like, lam so jetlag right now. We were ready to walk on stage, and ijust was tired, and sojetlag, walk on stage, and ijust was tired, and so jetlag, and walk on stage, and ijust was tired, and sojetlag, and he just goes. Pop and i was like. He is in the military, as well. And i was, like, what was that . It was great, it was fun. I wore the slap with pride. When i had my surgery here in london, he was actually one of the first people to come and visit me afterwards. And he brought me. He brought me a gift. He brought me theres little pillow to put my ipad on while i was in recovery. How difficult is it, combining rock stardom with school run . Well, i used to think that they were mutually exclusive, but you that you couldnt really do the two together. I used to think i would do this until i was in my 30s, then i am going to stop, and then i am going to start my normal life. Why the hell would you want to do that . Well, because i want a normal life. There was part of me that wanted a normal life. And eventually we realised that this, for me, is a normal life. When your daughter is heading towards teenage years, and you know what guys in their teenage yea rs a re you know what guys in their teenage years are like, how worried are you . I always had this plan that if my daughter ever started dating a musician, that i would invite him over and tell musician, that i would invite him overand tell him. Musician, that i would invite him over and tell him. I will get you a record deal if you never hang out with my daughter, ever again. That is plan. Fantastic. Foo fighters, thank you very much. Plan a. I like that, it is quite a promise. Leave my daughter alone and i will get you a massive record deal. The foo fighters new album is called concrete and gold. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london news. Im alex bushill. A man wanted for questioning about a car parking scam at Gatwick Airport, which left hundreds of holidaymakers stranded, is now believed to have fled the country. The vehicles were supposed to have been valet parked, but instead they were abandoned in fields, public roads, and even supermarket car parks. Now, the director of the company is thought to be in pakistan. Currently i would say a very slim chance, unfortunately, for us to pursue any action, and equally for consumers to get any recompense back, or any refunds associated with their contract. Almost three quarters of London Companies who employ workers from the eu have rated the uncertainty of brexit as one of their top concerns, according to a recent survey by the cbi.

It is another fairly cheery day of weather again today. It should stay dry, and there will be lots more in the way of sunshine, very similar to how it was yesterday afternoon. But, once more, it is a rather chilly start. We saw temperatures drop back into single figures last night, and there are a few early patches of mist and fog around, as well, so a bit of a hazy start for some. Lots of sunshine, though, throughout the day. There will be some high cloud coming and going, of course, and we start to draw in a southerly breeze, thats bringing some milder air our way. So temperatures will be slightly higher than they were yesterday, maybe up to 18 or 19 degrees in central london. Now, this evening and overnight, again, it is set to stay dry. Night, most of our temperatures sticking in double figures, and mist and fog not quite so much of a problem into tomorrow morning. Tomorrow another nice day, lots more sunshine to come. Staying dry, feeling a little bit breezier, this southerly breeze pushing the warmth our way. Were likely to get some rain, though, on thursday evening. Albeit quite light and patchy, but that will clear. Another dry day, more sunshine on friday, and that is set to last into the weekend.

First, our main story. A devastating earthquake has struck central mexico, killing more than a 220 people. At least 20 children are thought to have died in just one school that collapsed and many others pupils are missing. The 7. 1 magnitude quake raised dozens of buildings to the ground in the capital, mexico city, where a state of disaster has been declared. We can see pictures here of the collapsed school, where 38 people remain missing. Rescue workers are continuing to sift through the rubble in the hope of finding survivors. Our north america correspondent james cook has more. Sirens in mexico city they are struggling to save lives. This is one of the most densely packed places on earth. More than 20 Million People live here, and this earthquake has hit them hard. Translation we left and when we left the building started collapsing. I mean, 30 seconds after we left the building came down. In the minutes after the quake, columns of dust rose into the air, hinting at the devastation. In the capital alone, dozens of buildings, including schools and office blocks, were destroyed or damaged. The president says its a national emergency. The huge tremor struck around lunchtime, prompting panic and sending people running into the streets. Fires have been reported and people are being urged not to smoke because of the danger from gas lea ks. These distressing pictures appear to show a building coming down sometime after the initial shock. On the streets of the city, a Field Hospital with doctors treating patients anywhere they can. And its clear that the damage goes well beyond mexico city. The epicentre of the earthquake was actually more than 100 kilometres to the south east, in puebla province, where reports of deaths and damages are widespread. Earthquake alarms did sound, but some residents apparently thought they were part of a day of drills on the anniversary of a devastating quake in 1985. Now the 19th of september will be remembered in mexico city for not one but two disasters. A short time ago on breakfast, we spoke to our correspondent in mexico city, juan paullier. Without any doubt it has been a tragic and distressing day here in mexico. There are rescue efforts under way in different parts of the country and this is a city still in shock. It was quite heavy and prolonged shaking and a few seconds were enough to destroy dozens of buildings. I was on the streets until recently and the scene was one of chaos and mounting desperation. We know the rescue search is ongoing at the moment and the number of People Killed has just at the moment and the number of People Killed hasjust been at the moment and the number of People Killed has just been updated in the last half hour or so. We will keep you up to date and talk to people in mexico soon as well. Residents of the Virgin Islands and puerto rico are braced for the arrival of Hurricane Maria, the latest powerful storm to hit the caribbean. With winds reaching 175 miles an hour, maria is currently hitting the largest of the Virgin Islands. Whole swathes of the caribbean have barely had time to draw breath before Hurricane Maria started causing fresh devastation. Among the most vulnerable of smaller islands, including the former french colonies of guadeloupe and martinique. The authorities there had ordered evacuations, but Authorities Say at least one person died in guadeloupe. The tiny island of dominica was directly in the path of the huge storm and apparently suffered some of the worst of the damage. These pictures, which cant yet be unverified, reportedly show the moment the lights went out there. The countrys Prime Minister described the situation as it was unfolding on his facebook page. He called the damage mind boggling. As the storm began to bear down on the us Virgin Islands and puerto rico, people boarded up their houses and shut down businesses and schools. The territorys governor urged people to take cover with family orfriends, or in emergency shelters, if need be. If you are in a flood zone or wooden housing, he said, your life is in danger. Around 60,000 people in puerto rico are still without power after irma hit, one week ago. At the time, people here breathed a collective sigh of relief. This time, though, many fear the impact will be far more significant. The vast majority of people are now just hunkered down and hoping that this, the most powerful storm to strike the island in almost 100 years, does not bring too much devastation with it. And carol will be able to update us on whether part of Hurricane Maria is likely to be as well. Police investigating the bombing at Parsons Green tube station in london have arrested a third man.

Police in brazil say a british woman has been murdered while attempting to kayak the length of the amazon. The body of emma kelty, a former head teacher from london, still hasnt been found. The 43 year old was last seen close to the border with peru in an area known for pirate attacks and drug traffickers. Three people have been arrested over her death, as richard main reports. Her motto was dont put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Emma kelty was a former head teacher from london who embraced extreme challenges. Earlier this year, she became one of only a handful of women to ski solo to the south pole, before embarking on an epic 4,000 mile trip from the source of the amazon in peru through brazil to its mouth at the atlantic. Earlier this year, emma acknowledged the dangers she may face on her adventure. Its humid, its got tons and tons of wildlife, quite dangerous wildlife, and even the dangers of the people, who organ harvest and rob and fire guns and all the rest of it. So, yeah, complete opposite to what i was doing two months ago. The area she disappeared in, close to the peruvian border, is known to be a major drug smuggling route, with frequent reports of violent pirate activity on the river. Last week she tweeted about a run in with a group of armed men, a day before transmitting a distress signal. Police say emmas canoe was then found abandoned on the riverbank. Some of her possessions had been sold in a nearby village. Emmas body hasnt yet been found, but brazilian officials have arrested three people, including a teenager who they say has confessed to the murder. In a Statement Last night, emmas family praised her adventurous spirit, saying how proud they were of her achievement and her strength will be sorely missed.

More than 220 people are dead after a major earthquake hit mexico. At least 20 children were among the victims when their school collapsed in mexico city. We can speak to laura carlson, whos in mexico city. Good morning. I know you are quite scared at the moment. Tell us what happened overnight, what happened to you. Well, i was in a building in downtown mexico city and we began to feel the earth move. It was fear everywhere and we ran downstairs, trying to grab the banisters at as we went down. The movement was intense. We had an earthquake two weeks ago that was very strong. But this one was Even Stronger in the way it moved. An earthquake kind of attacks your basic security, because its something that you assume wont happen, although we know this is a seismic zone. We ran out into the street, everyone got out of the building. The streets were filled with people who had evacuated buildings. They were crying, hugging, you could see the dust on the street from buildings that had fallen, and you could smell the gas. There were instructions not to light cigarettes, be careful, come away from buildings. There was broken glass. After that the sirens began and rescue operations. They treated the wounded woman just half block from where we were. Someone said she had jumped from where we were. Someone said she hadjumped in from where we were. Someone said she had jumped in panic. Others said she was stuck in the street. We dont really know. But this was u nfortu nately a really know. But this was unfortunately a typical scene at this time. Since then we were in store did not to drive, in order to facilitate circulation of emergency vehicles, and we watched brigades of rescue workers formed spontaneously, mostly young people, who were going out to remove rubble. We are seeing pictures as you say, lines of people trying to help and very much getting a sense of the desperate rescue operations going on at the moment. Yes. Thats one of the things thats heartening to see when a disaster like this strikes. The response from the people. Overall, the image of looting or people taking advantage is really not what happens. Its certainly not what is happening right now in mexico. There was a call at the National University for young people at 10pm tonight to go to ta ke young people at 10pm tonight to go to take a quick course in rescue work, to be able to relieve the brigades that are out there now. Thousands of young people arrived. They have been working all night. People offering water, people forming networks, social networks as well, to help locate missing people. So theres a tremendous sense of solidarity amid the tragedy. so theres a tremendous sense of solidarity amid the tragedy. I can tell you are inside now. Are there still tremors going on and how are you feeling . No, the tremors have stopped. It took awhile. There was even a point where we werent sure if this is weighing was still inside as from the experience, or whether the earth was still moving. Theres a lwa ys the earth was still moving. Theres always talk of the possibility of after shocks. Its not something you can really predict. But right now what is happening is the rescue and search work in the city. Thank you very much for talking to us from mexico city. The death toll from that mexico earthquake is somewhere in the region of 220. Lets get more detail from one of the many volunteers who has been helping with that effort. Thank you for your time this morning. Where were you when the quake struck, and what was it like . Well, thank you very much. I was in my office, working with my partners, and everything began to shake. And we were, like, oh my gosh, there is an earthquake. So we went out of the office, into the yard, and the entire building started shaking. So we got scared, and we went out to the street, and we saw a wall and a window falling down. So that really scared us. The entire city ran out of light, and there was no reception on the mobile. There was no internet, and i wasnt able to communicate with my partners. So we we re communicate with my partners. So we were frightened. And then, after 1. 5 hours, i was able to communicate with my father. And he was right, andi with my father. And he was right, and i started receiving so many m essa 9 es and i started receiving so many m essa g es of and i started receiving so many m essa 9 es of news and i started receiving so many messages of news images, videos, about so many buildings that collapsed down. So i was near a neighbourhood called roma, and i wa nted neighbourhood called roma, and i wanted to help people remove debris from the buildings. And that i received a call from a man from a nearby location, and he told me about a school which had fallen down also. I sent some people to help there, and i tried to render aid, it was not possible for me, but it was really. I was really, really worried about it. So my desperation was really ha rd, worried about it. So my desperation was really hard, i decided to go to my place, and to stay calm, and to think more, for better solutions. So i decided to make, tomorrow morning, a provision Collection Centre at my office. So if you are mexican, or you know someone who is mexican, you can send provisions to my office here in mexico city. Good to hear yourfamily are ok. From what here in mexico city. Good to hear your family are ok. From what will your family are ok. From what will you are saying, a friend of yours from what youre saying, a friend of yours to that school where some children are thought to have died, and there is a search and rescue effort under way to try and recover some of those who may be underneath the building there. Can you tell us more about that relief effort . You say there are many volunteers on the street to help people today. Yes, actually, that is what i like from my country. People collaborate with others, to help others, to be alive. And more than 1000 people are on the streets right now, helping other people to survive. Good to talk to you, and as we have said two other guests this morning, please do stay safe to our other guests.

Maria has sustained wind speeds of 175 mph. The gusts are in excess of 200 mph. The United States and british Virgin Islands, so you can see where the eye is at the moment. As Louise Radley said, today it is heading towards puerto rico, where the effect of a hurricane could be catastrophic. The tonight it will make progress across the dominican republic, and then it is going to swing out towards the atlantic. It will not follow the same path as irma, which of course made contact with florida, but it is a large hurricane. From the eye out, six kilometres on each 60 kilometres on each side, so 120 kilometres on each side, so 120 kilometres will have hurricane strength winds, and beyond that we are looking at wind gust in excess of 100 are looking at wind gust in excess of100 mph, and are looking at wind gust in excess of 100 mph, and the small islands have been affected by hurricane irma, where our lot of devastation was caused, so that will make them very vulnerable as well. Back at home, where today it is mainly dry, some of us have seen some rain at the moment, and some of us have yet to see some rain. Some of us will stay dry altogether. This second weather front is producing some heavy rain to the west of Northern Ireland, and it will pepper through the day as it moves into Northern Ireland and across western scotland. P9p ireland and across western scotland. p9p up ireland and across western scotland. Pep up. The other thing you will notice is that the wind strength will increase as well, but not touching gale force. North east scotla nd touching gale force. North east scotland starting off dry, with some sunshine. Northern ireland through the morning, the rain will gather and turn heavier as it moves from west to east. For Northern England, wales, into parts of the midlands and the south west, more cloud around. You can see also some of us starting off with a dry and a bright start. As we go through the course of the day, the rain will move across of the day, the rain will move a cross m ost of the day, the rain will move across most of scotland, not getting into the far east until later on in the day. It will also move across wales in the South West England, and later again into north west england. With the strengthening winds. In the sunshine it will feel pleasant. In fa ct, sunshine it will feel pleasant. In fact, it will feel mighty for some of us, the air coming up in the south. The north east wales, the midlands, down towards the south east, you could hit 19, 20, or even 21 celsius. Through the evening and overnight our bands of rain continued to push from the west towards the east again. Some of it will be heavy. In the south east, staying mostly dry. The temperature will drop, and here it will be called a start, especially the countryside. But elsewhere we are looking at generally double figures. So start tomorrow with this scenario. Again, the rain continuing to move slowly from the west towards the east. It will have cleared Northern Ireland by dawn, we think, and then it will start to brighten up and then it will start to brighten up also across western scotland, west wales, and the south west. We will see sunshine, but also a few showers. Ahead of it we hang on to the brighter conditions, but the rain pushing in, the cloud building ahead of it, and later on we will see that rain after dusk in the south east. This weather front will bring this rain, a ridge of High Pressure coming in and then we have the next weather front following on behind. As you can tell from the isobars, it is also going to be windy. Fridays forecast starts off ona windy. Fridays forecast starts off on a nippy note in the south east. The rain coming in from the west will draw some cloud ahead of it, and behind that some sunshine, highs in belfast of about 16. Still we are hanging on to about 19 in london. Thank you so much, that will be nice for people who are there. Thank you very much indeed. John and steph with another look at the papers. I am sorry, but you were singing just then we were singing adverts remembered from our childhood. Because we all know the words from the toys r us jingle. And louise did a good job of keeping us alone, because we almost sang on air. And the earthquake and Hurricane Maria are not actually on the front pages, because they happened overnight. The telegraph is talking about borisjohnson and theresa may. This picture makes a lot of the papers, because he. I am not sure he was trying to avoid the press, but he had not spoken to the press, but he had not spoken to the press, but a lot ofjournalists photographed him in a lift after a job, and he said it is all fine and he is not going to resign job, and he said it is all fine and he is not going to resign j09. And i am as happy as a bird singing ina and i am as happy as a bird singing in a nest. In the front page of the daily mail is Something Else that theresa may will be talking about today. Takedown theresa may will be talking about today. Ta kedown hate theresa may will be talking about today. Takedown hate videos in two hours or else. She will be speaking to microsoft and a number of other Tech Companies as well. Donald trump, some of you may have heard, was talking yesterday in his first speech to the un, talking a lot about north korea. And that was one of the quotes, he said he is going to totally destroyed north korea. The front page of the times, i will show you the picture. This is one of the stories we will be talking about in around one hours time. Emma kelty is a former and she went on a kayaking trip on the amazon and she has been confirmed dead in brazil. Three men have been arrested in connection with that and one of those has admitted to her murder as well. So sad story on the front of the times. And the reason you were singing the advert from toys r us. Lets not started again, but it is quite a sad story because toys r us are having problems at the moment. Good morning everyone. All of the business pages are covering this at the moment, because it is obviously one of the worlds biggest toy retailers, and its Parent Company in the us has had to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy. It basically means that they will still operate as normal, so the business will not be affected in the uk, they have over 100 stores here, but it means they are trying to get themselves organised because they are in an awful lot of debt. They have got in debt over the years because they basically havent been able to keep up with a lot of the online retailers with whom they are competing, so it is a company in a fairamount of competing, so it is a company in a fair amount of trouble at the moment. But as i say, it wont affect the shops here. It is very much business as usual. Ijust have another story here. Which one are you going to choose . Have you seen people who have these alexas, which you can talk to, and it does your shopping and that sort of thing. A lady with a parrot came home to find various quarters, so the parrot managed to mimic her voice and order various things various orders. A £10 set of gift boxes, i dont know what she will do with them. She said he activated her alexa, which connects to the internet shopping, and managed to shout, and an basically control the heating at one point, as well. John, we have not left too much time. We are talking football managers and famous fathers who have also managed or were former managers. So Darren Ferguson takes his doncaster team to take on arsenal. Who better to call on than your father, arsenal. Who better to call on than yourfather, sir arsenal. Who better to call on than your father, sir alex arsenal. Who better to call on than yourfather, sir alex ferguson, to get the best of arsenal. Those in our Manchester United later, and his father, ryan clough, who he says reminds him ofjose mourinho, which is quite nice, and the clough act to follow. And you are mortified by this. Sometimes we turn up on brea kfast this. Sometimes we turn up on breakfast wearing the same outfits. Do you remember the time we all turned up in red dresses . What a day. This is what happened at a wedding in australia. And there were six women, they are not bridesmaids. That is what i thought. And identical dresses. And you know, they just thought once there identical dresses. And you know, theyjust thought once there are six of you, you are in again, arent you . Two is awkward, more than that is amazing. I am sure they had a great night though. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london news, im alex bushill. A man wanted for questioning about a car parking scam at Gatwick Airport which left hundreds of holidaymakers stranded is now believed to have fled the country. 150 vehicles were supposed to have been valet parked, but instead they were abandoned in fields, roads, and even supermarket car parks. Now the director of the company, gatwickfirstparking, is thought to be in pakistan. Currently, id say a very slim chance, unfortunately, for us to pursue any action, and equally for consumers to get any recompense back, or any refunds associated with their contract. Almost three quarters of London Companies who employ workers from the eu have rated the uncertainty of brexit as one of their top concerns, according to a recent survey by the cbi. A similar number said they have developing a contingency plan for when the uk leaves the eu. A new sculpture has appeared in woods in bansted. It is the work of ella, who calls herself a tree pirate. It took three days to create her latest work, from a mature elm tree, depicting narnias white witch. So why did she want to become a tree pirate . Ive tried working in an office, i tried being an events manager, and working for an artist, art dealer. But it involved too much sitting still. Lets have a look at the travel situation now.

In islington, a1 upper street remains closed southbound, between Liverpool Road and city road, for roadworks. Lets have a check on the weather now, with elizabeth rizzini. Hello, good morning. Its another fairly cheery day of weather again today. It should stay dry, and therell be lots more in the way of sunshine, very similar to how it was yesterday afternoon. But, once more, it is a rather chilly start. We saw temperatures drop back into single figures last night, and there are a few early patches of mist and fog around, as well, so a bit of a hazy start for some. Lots of sunshine, though, throughout the day. There will be some high cloud coming and going, of course. And were starting to draw in a southerly breeze, thats bringing some milder air our way. So temperatures will be slightly higher than they were yesterday, maybe up to 18 or 19 degrees in central london. Now, this evening and overnight, again, its set to stay dry. Its going to be a bit milder, a bit breezier than it was last night, most of our temperatures sticking in double figures, and mist and fog not quite so much of a problem into tomorrow morning. Tomorrow another nice day, lots more sunshine to come. Staying dry, feeling a little bit breezier, this southerly breeze pushing the warmth our way. Were likely to get some rain, though, on thursday evening, albeit quite light and patchy, but that will clear. Another dry day, more sunshine on friday, and that is set to last into the weekend. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Now, though, it is back to louise and dan. Hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. Our main stories this morning a devastating earthquake has struck central mexico, killing more than 220 people. At least 20 children are thought to have died in just one school, which collapsed and many others pupils are missing. The 7. 1 magnitude quake raised dozens of buildings to the ground in the capital, mexico city, where a state of disaster has been declared. We can see pictures here of the collapsed school where 38 people remain missing. Rescue workers are continuing to sift through the rubble in the hope of finding survivors. Residents of the Virgin Islands and puerto rico are bracing themselves for the arrival of Hurricane Maria, which us forecasters have said could have a potentially catastrophic impact. The category 5 storm has once again intensified, with winds now gusting at 175 miles an hour. Much of the caribbean barely had time to assess the damage from hurricane irma, before maria arrived and caused yet more destruction. Police investigating the bombing at Parsons Green tube station in london have arrested a third man.

Teenagers in the uk are experiencing worryingly high rates of depression according to a study of more than 10,000 teenagers, born around the turn of the century. Researchers from the University College london and the university of liverpool found nearly a quarter of girls and one in ten boys reported having symptoms of depression. The Charity National Childrens Bureau has warned Mental Ill Health among children was reaching crisis point. Coming up on the programme, well have the latest weather from carol. Shes got a lot of talk about today. John is here. 24 hours ago you were talking about a big challenge for mark sampson and englands women as they start their World Cup Qualifying Campaign and that picture tells a lot. It does. That was then celebrating their first it does. That was then celebrating theirfirst goal and it does. That was then celebrating their first goal and follow link the accusations he has faced i think the tea m wa nted accusations he has faced i think the team wanted to show unity following. It was a very impressive performance. That was the first goal of six last night and i think mark sampson will be really pleased because as we were saying he has faced allegations of bullying. He hasnt been found to have done anything wrong, but i think it will be pleased that the performance will be pleased that the performance will be the focus of the newspapers and thats what we are talking about today. Lets bring you the action from last night. A perfect start for the team and manager. Nikita parris scored the opening goal and then she ran over to the sidelines to celebrate with mark sampson in a show of support following the allegations he has faced. He was joined by several other teammates to congratulate their manager, mark sampson, on that start. The pick of them had to be this one from lucy bronze. Their manager pleased that his sides performance was the focus of the media this time. It was a difficult time, a difficult time for everyone involved. It is a serious situation and everyone is aware of that and i think weve tried our best to be as respectful as we can, but again its about the football and the players have really focused on that. The staff have been incredible as well, to focus on that, and when you prepare well you give yourself a chance to produce a performance like tonight. Northern irelands women were beaten 2 0 at home by the republic of ireland. Rachel furniss with an own goal to hand the republic the lead. Megan campbell completed the scoring in the second half. Leicester knocked liverpool out of the efl cup. Shinji 0kazaki with their opener, but have a look at this for their second. That was from Islam Slimani, from outside the box, firing leicester into the fourth round. And in the Scottish League cup quarterfinals, hibs beat livingstone 3 2. Rangers needed extra time to win at partick. Its always nice making a century, even better when its your first and youre opening the batting for your country. Jonny bairstow reaching 100 as england chased down 205, set by west indies. Ben stokes hitting the winning runs with more than ten overs to spare to take a 1 0 lead in the five match series, the last series before the ashes. It has obviously been a long time coming. I made my debut a long time ago in cardiff and its been a bit of a rollercoaster in od to date. Its been nice to play a little bit more recently and yeah i hope its a stepping block for things to come. Chris froome will race in the time trial at the World Championships this afternoon, but admits he hasnt been able to train specifically for the event. Hes had a busy summer, becoming just the third rider to win the Tour De France vuelta double in the same year. It was horrendous and brutal this year. I mean, i have to admit, all of the grand tour is ive done, the Tour De France, this was by far the ha rd est Tour De France, this was by far the hardest one of the done. Extremely grateful to have been able to back it up from the Tour De France. Finally, if youve ever been given a present you really didnt want, you could probably understand this. This italian boy is a huge fan ofjuventus, but for a trick his family decided to give him an inter milan shirt for his birthday. Look at his reaction. But all was well when he was finally given the shirt of his favourite team. His reaction is priceless. Love the bow tie as well can you believe it . Smartphones have been around for ten years for many of us, theyve totally transformed how we communicate and socialise. Its difficult to see how some people ever lived without them. And new Research Suggests more of us than ever are addicted to our phones, with a third of people surveyed admitting to checking their device within the first five minutes of waking up. How long before you check your device in the morning . 30 seconds . This is what some of you had to say about your habits. It isa it is a way to communicate with people and to learn things. Its a tool. Its not just people and to learn things. Its a tool. Its notjust associated with teenagers any more. Its like an addiction. If you dont have it, your phone in your hands, what are your phone in your hands, what are your hands doing . Limiting life. It is passing them by whale they are that there twiddling their thumbs on this bit of plastic. Sat there. I cant go to sleep knowing that there is still stuff active and live on my phone, so i want to clear it before igoto phone, so i want to clear it before i go to sleep. I wouldnt say i am reliant on my phone. I dont think its a good habit. Not all the youngsters, its the oldies as well yes, it is. Ifeel guilty considering i got on a got a notification while we were talking. I know if i ever had an emergency i know i could call you and you would a nswer know i could call you and you would answer the phone. I feel like i need answer the phone. Ifeel like i need to be responsible for myself and other people for more on changing mobile phone habits, we can speak to the Technology Expert luc delany and jodi birkett from deloitte, which carried out the research. I suppose as we said while we were watching that, i am probably a good example of all thats gone wrong with the world, my . Not necessarily. Clearly smart phones are used a lot. 85 of uk adults on a smartphone and nine out of ten use them every day. There is definitely a spectrum of usage. What we found throughout survey is there are some teenagers who look at their smart phones over 200 times a day. Assuming they are getting their nine hours of sleep a night, thats once every five minutes. Kay. They werent designed for this, but weve adapted, theyve adapted and they arent really phones, are they . Iwas adapted and they arent really phones, are they . I was thinking about this. How often do i make a phone call my phone . Very rarely. You phone call my phone . Very rarely. You utility phone call my phone . Very rarely. You utility of the device has increased a lot, so the device is more powerful, its a minicomputer rather thanjust a more powerful, its a minicomputer rather than just a phone more powerful, its a minicomputer rather thanjust a phone and more powerful, its a minicomputer rather than just a phone and weve got 46, now 56 so we can do more and they are more useful. I like the terminology. A screen ager and a smartphone zombie. Why are you looking at you like that . A smartphone zombie is where we are so engrossed in a phone that we dont Pay Attention to the world around us. There is that risk, but i think we are quite aware of that risk. We found 40 of people are aware that there probably are to use their phone and a lot of those were trying tactics to stop using it. So typically smart phones are the modern cyrene in terms of flashing at you, pushing notifications at you. So its about putting it in your pocket or handbag and putting it on do not disturb to reduce the temptation. You can reduce the temptation. You can reduce the temptation. I have a smartwatch. I love gadgets. I have all of the devices, but ive. I can see yours ive found myself being consta ntly yours ive found myself being constantly distracted by e mails and notifications and i did a little experiment which was i got rid of the smartwatch, turned off all of the smartwatch, turned off all of the notifications on my phone per couple of days i tried to work out what i was missing, what utility was missing, rather than what was simply being pushed to me. I think if someone is concerned about how much they are being distract it and pulled to the phone, make the phone work for you instead. The problem is once you are with the phone then you kind of get lost in time. Yes. All of these services are competing for your time of these services are competing for yourtime and of these services are competing for your time and attention. They want to engage you, but so does every tv and ona to engage you, but so does every tv and on a cliffhanger, every ad gets you to engage and play along. But the benefit of a smartphone, it looks like you are checking the time when you can check the football scores without having to get your phone up. As goes the assumption is it is people of a certain age, but the silver as wipers, 55 70, my father just got the silver as wipers, 55 70, my fatherjust got his first smartphone. Silver swipers. Fatherjust got his first smartphone. Silver swipers. They have definitely seen the fastest growth in adoption rates but thats because the youngest generation are already at 90 . When you see the growth it is in the silver swipers, as we refer to them. But saturations are so high at the younger levels. Having done this research have you changed the way you approach your phone . Thats a good point. We were debating how much is too much use . Does a smartphone control you or the other way round . Does a smartphone control you or the other way round . I think i have quite a nice balance with my smartphone. Im sure some people would disagree, but im not addicted to it, but i do quite like it. would disagree, but im not addicted to it, but i do quite like it. I use my phone for everything. I speak to my phone for everything. I speak to my car using my phone, i control security cameras. You speak to your car . What do you say to it . tell it where i need to go, so when i get into the car the 6ps is already programmed, if its called alternate heating on, or the aircon if its hot. I do my accounts. When you see me in the tube bashing away on my phone ive actually connecting receipts to my bank statements. So im not doing that at the weekends. It is all taken care of as you go. So the utility of the devices has hugely increased, so our increased usage isnt such a terrible thing, if it benefited as in other areas of our lives. Im just if it benefited as in other areas of our lives. Imjust text if it benefited as in other areas of our lives. Im just text on carol to hurry up, its time for the Weather Forecast they are handy occasionally he did not do that, did he . Here is carol with a look at this mornings weather. And what a brilliant idea. Good morning to you. For many of us it is largely dry start. One or two showers and some rain coming in from the west, but many central, southern and eastern areas are dry and the reason we have the rain is because ofa reason we have the rain is because of a couple of fronts. The second front is more active, the rain will be heavier, and if you follow the isobars up, we are scooping up some mild airfrom the isobars up, we are scooping up some mild air from the south. So first thing this morning a lot of dry weather, some sunshine, a fair bit of cloud and patchy fog lifting. Meanwhile, the rain in scotland and Northern Ireland Gathering Force and starting to slowly move eastwards. Ahead of it we can see the cloud building. It will remain dry through the day. Variable amounts of cloud, some sunny skies running through that and that extends all the way towards the south west. There is rain coming into cornwall, parts of devon and west wales through the afternoon. Again, the cloud moving just ahead of it. North west wales, south West Midlands and the south West Midlands and the south west we could hit 19, 20 or 21 as we get into the afternoon. It will feel quite muddy. Northern ireland, rain is swinging into the east, some of it will be heavy. The same coming across scotland, some of that rain heavy, accompanied by strengthening winds. The far north east hanging onto dry conditions. For Northern England, heading down towards the north midlands, a lot of dry weather with variable amounts of cloud but some sunny skies. Through the evening and overnight at, two weather fronts moving from the west to the east, not moving particularly quickly. It will be a breezy night. Where we have breaks in the cloud in the south east, rather like this morning, temperatures in rural areas will be lower than you can see on the charts. So it will be cold here. The rest of the uk, temperatures staying in double figures. A bright start in the south east tomorrow. The rain continuing across scotland, parts of england and wales. It will clear Northern Ireland, probably by dawn. You will have a bright start, with the sunshine, and the showers will develop. Next clue will be South West England, with some sunshine and one or two showers. Behind the front we are looking at 18 or19, behind the front we are looking at 18 or 19, ahead of it around 20, the rain getting into east anglia around dusk orjust after. The rest of thursday and friday, the weather front taking its rain with it. The transient ridge of High Pressure logging in, and the next set of fronts coming in from the atlantic. If you look at the squeeze on the isobars, not only will it be wet, it will also be windy. Tomorrow, with exposure, we could have some gales of our hands. So we lose the rain in the morning. A lot of dry weather around, a lot of sunshine on friday, and here comes the wet and windy weather from the west, pushing slowly eastwards, so it will brighten up behind it in Northern Ireland, and in london a high of 19. Ijust ireland, and in london a high of 19. I just have to ireland, and in london a high of 19. Ijust have to get my phone, by the way. Just for confirmation, carol did not send me a text saying it is time for the weather. But it could bea time for the weather. But it could be a good convention. Yes, a little notification. You are two minutes late, walker iwould respond notification. You are two minutes late, walker i would respond to that. Water customers had to make more than two million calls to resolve problems last year. Steph has been taking a look at the numbers. Good morning to you. This is a bit ofan good morning to you. This is a bit of an increase, so let me tell you about it. According to a report from the Consumer Council for water, the number of customers who had to phone their Water Company to solve a problem has increased by more than 40,000, tojust over two million. Southern water remained the industrys worst performer for complaints. We are talking to tony smith. Obviously the number of people ringing up to complain has gone up, hasnt it . Yes, so after over the last ten years, things have improved a lot, since we push the industry to improve its performance. So that is really good. This year, as you say, it has increased a bit and what we are worried about is a potential reversal of that, so pushing the companies, particularly the poor performers, to overcome those problems. What are the problems people are complaining about . The main thing are billing problems, so ifa main thing are billing problems, so if a customer gets a bill they do not understand, or it is too high, or it is inaccurate, or things like water supply or leakage, and the Companies Need to sort things out first time, and to the customers satisfaction. And how good are the companies at solving problems . Satisfaction. And how good are the companies at solving problem57m general, the industry has improved a lot, and some companies have done very well. Bournemouth and south east water have done very well. Other countries, southern, thames, have all had big rises in complaints, and those are the issues we wa nt complaints, and those are the issues we want them to sort out. We are asking them to tell us what they are going to do to improve their performance. Is one of the problem is that there is in any competition in the industry, because once you are given your provider you cannot change . That is part of the problem, although it in the Energy Sector that has not necessarily be the route to Great Customer satisfaction. We have been encouraging customers to increase incentives on Encouraging Companies to increase incentives. What is the punishment Companies Face if they do not improve things . About ten years ago we change the incentive system so there are some opportunities for companies to make a bit more money if they do really well. But equally, they get quite a big reduction, quite a big penalty, if they do not perform well on complaints. So it matters to the companies and their investors if they do well on complaints. So that has helped, but we still need to do more. And if you are a customer who has a complaint with a Water Company and you dont feel they are dealing with it in the way you want, what can you do with it . They can come to us, and we will pick up that complaint, help them with it, put pressure on the company, and hopefully get it sorted for them. Thank you for coming in and talking about that with us. Thats it for me the now. A lot of excitement with the now. A lot of excitement with the foo fighters this morning. Foo fighters frontman dave grohl has revealed prince harry visited him in hospital after he broke his leg while on tour in 2015. In an exclusive interview for the bbc, the singer also said the injury helped to inspire the bands new album. He was speaking to the bbcs entertainment correspondent colin paterson, along with foo fighters drummer taylor hawkins. Well, you know, the funny thing is, falling off the stage in sweden and breaking my leg on the last record tour was actually kind of at the beginning. It was at the beginning of the tour, almost. Yes, i mean, wed only been doing shows for a couple of months at that point. So we had 70 more shows, 60 more shows after that. It didnt hurt when it happened, then it was hard to tour for six months afterwards, sitting in this ridiculous throne thing. I was physically exhausted, i was mentally exhausted, and emotionally drained. And ijust thought, you know, lets just stop for a while. Lets take a year off. Which is a long time for us. Some bands disappear for five or six years i cant imagine doing that. You know, i dont really have friends outside of the members of the foo fighters, you know . Its such a big part of our lives, that its hard to step away from. And in those six months, i got reclusive and isolated, and depressed and down. And i eventually realised the one thing that makes me the most happy in life is making music, and making it with my friends. A lot of the lyrics were written in the short period of time just as trump got the nomination to run for president of the United States of america. You know, seeing what that was doing to just the general psyche of america our country was just flipping out in disbelief that this is actually happening. Its what we would talk about every day while we were writing the record. It was like every day was a new tweet. What happened backstage with you and harry at the Invictus Games . It was the night before the Invictus Games. We were playing at the ambassadors house. I was tired, i wasjetlagged. And we met him, and we started having real talk. And i was, like, lam so jetlagged right now. We were ready to walk on stage, and ijust was tired, and sojetlagged, and he just goes pop and i was like. Hes in the military, too. And i was, like, what was that . It was great, it was fun. I wore the slap with pride. When i had my surgery here in london, he was actually one of the first people to come and visit me afterwards. And he brought me. He brought me a gift. He brought me this little pillow to put my ipad on while i was in recovery. How difficult is it, combining rock stardom with the school run . Well, i used to think that they were mutually exclusive, that you couldnt really do the two together. I used to think i would do this until i was in my 30s, then im going to stop, and then im going to start my normal life. Why the hell would you want to do that . Well, because i want a normal life.

But, once more, it is a rather chilly start. We saw temperatures drop back into single figures last night, and there are a few early patches of mist and fog around, as well, so a bit of a hazy start for some. Lots of sunshine, though, throughout the day. There will be some high cloud coming and going, of course. And were starting to draw in a southerly breeze, thats bringing some milderairup ourway. So temperatures will be slightly higher than they were yesterday, maybe up to 18 or 19 degrees in central london. Now, this evening and overnight, again, its set to stay dry. Its going to be a bit milder, a bit breezier than it was last night, most of our temperatures sticking in double figures, and mist and fog not quite so much of a problem into tomorrow morning. Tomorrow another nice day, lots more sunshine to come. Staying dry, feeling a little bit breezier, this southerly breeze pushing the warmth our way. We are likely to get some rain, though, on thursday evening, albeit quite light and patchy, but that will clear, to leave us with another dry day, more sunshine on friday, and that is set to last into the weekend.

Good morning. First, our main story. A devastating earthquake has struck central mexico, killing more than 200 people. At least 20 children are thought to have died when their school collapsed and many others pupils are missing. The 7. 1 magnitude quake raised dozens of buildings to the ground in the capital, mexico city where a state of disaster has been declared. We can see these pictures here of the collapsed school where 38 people remain missing. Rescue workers are continuing to sift through the rubble in the hope of finding survivors. Sirens. In mexico city they are struggling to save lives. This is one of the most densely packed places on earth. More than 20 Million People live here, and this earthquake has hit them hard. Translation we left, and when we left, the building started collapsing. I mean, 30 seconds after we left the building came down. In the minutes after the quake, columns of dust rose into the air, hinting at the devastation. In the capital alone, dozens of buildings, including schools and office blocks, were destroyed or damaged. Schoolchildren are among the dead. The president says its a national emergency. The huge tremor struck around lunchtime, prompting panic and sending people running into the streets. Fires have been reported and people are being urged not to smoke because of the danger from gas lea ks. These distressing pictures appear to show a building coming down sometime after the initial shock. On the streets of the city, a Field Hospital with doctors treating patients anywhere they can. And its clear that the damage goes well beyond mexico city. The epicentre of the earthquake was actually more than 100 kilometres to the south east in puebla province, the reports of deaths and damages are widespread. Earthquake alarms did sound, but some residents apparently thought they were part of a day of drills on the anniversary of a devastating quake in 1985. Now 19th september will be remembered in mexico city for not one, but two disasters. A short time ago on breakfast, we spoke to our correspondent in mexico city, juan paullier. Without any doubt it has been a tragic and distressing day here in mexico. There are rescue efforts under way in different parts of the country and this a city still in shock. It was a quite heavy and prolonged shaking and a few seconds were enough to destroy dozens of buildings. I was on the streets until recently and the scene was one of chaos and mounting desperation. Earlier on the programme we spoke to Laura Carlsen who is in mexico city. We ran out into the street. Everyone got out of the building i went out into the street. Everyone got out of the building. In the street, the streets were filled with people who had evacuated buildings. They were crying. They were hugging. You could see the dust in the street from buildings that had fallen and we watched brigades of rescue workers form spontaneously, most young people were going out to remove rubble and try and save lives. They have been working all night. People offering water. People forming networks on the social networks as well to try to help locate people that are missing. So there is a tremendous sense of solidarity amid the tragedy. And in a few moments, well return to mexico and speak to a School Teacher whose School Partially collapsed in the quake. Hurricane maria has begun lashing the us Virgin Islands in the caribbean where residents have been warned the impact could be catastrophic. The category five storm has once again intensified, with winds now gusting at 165mph. Much of the caribbean barely had time to assess the damage from hurricane irma, before maria caused yet more destruction. Its expected to make landfall in puerto rico where storm chaser mike theiss is following its path and we can speak to him now. Mike, where are you and what are conditions like there . Yes, im in the eastern tip of puerto rico. Problem with sound thats unfortunate. We appear to have lost mike. Mike, are you still there . Can you hear us . Weve lost, mike. I can tell you mike is in his hotel and he is talking about how strong the wind and the rain is and the fact that it is approaching puerto rico. It caused all sorts of issues in dominique owe. The president talked about how the roof was taken off his house and the president himself had to be rescued from dominique owe overnight. Carol will have all the details as well as the path as well. Well keep you up to date. We will make sure mike is ok. We will check in on mike. Police investigating the bombing at Parsons Green tube station in london have arrested a third man.

Earlier this year emma acknowledged the dangers she may face on her adventure. Its humid. It has got tonnes and tonnes of wildlife, quite dangerous wildlife and the dangers of the people who fire guns and all the rest of it. Yeah, complete opposite to what i was doing two months ago. The area she disappeared in is known to be a major drug smuggling route with frequent reports of violent pirate activity on the river. Last week, she tweeted about a run in with a group of armed men, a day before, transmitting a distress signal. Police say emmas canoe was found abandoned on the river bank. Some of her possessions had been sold in a nearby village. Emmas body hasnt yet been found, but brazilian officials arrested three people including a teenager who they say has confessed to her murder.

Lets go to being to the news overnight that an earthquake in mexico has killed at least 200 people. Jennifer is a Primary School teacher and she was there when part of the school was destroyed. Tell us what and what was it like . So, it all happened very quickly. Teaching a class of year 7s and before i know it, were evacuating the classroom and as we do so, the exterior wall of the classroom colla pses. Tha nkfully exterior wall of the classroom collapses. Thankfully nobody was hurt. Obviously not everybody has been so lucky which is really, really tragic, but basically a deeply frightening whirlwind of a day really. Tell us about the tremor itself because we have spoken to people who are saying it was terrifying at the time and you were trying to look after small children . Yeah, i mean, iwas incredibly lucky. I am a secondary teacher. I dont think i have the skills to be a primary teacher. But my students are still young only 11 and 12. I would have said calmer than me initially because what starts as a tremor, really, really quickly gets to something where chairs are going up to something where chairs are going up and down, tables are going up and down and you just feel at the mercy of mother nature. As cheesy as that sounds, it is really quite terrifying and there is nothing you can do only than your upmost to protect those children. Yes, i felt very vulnerable. You had a really lucky escape. Tell us about the impact on the rest of the area where you are as well . Yeah. So im lucky enough to live on the outside but a lot of my colleagues and friends live in the city centre. And i know some of them havent bothered going into the centre. Notjust because of road closures and notjust because of the carnage, but simply because some buildings we dont know how safe they are so i have a colleague staying with me tonight. Its ominously quiet outside and its really, really frightening and my thoughts obviously are with colleagues, and friends who are in the city centre because it looks. We are seeing pictures now of the city centre. We can see buildings entirely destroyed. We also hear really distressing reports as well about the school, the Primary School where the building collapsed. What else do you know . So, a lot on social media really. So i have the privilege of being friends with, you know, several mexicans who can, who are delivering supplies and start doing acts of charity which is brave because im still reeling from this afternoon and people warning each other of places to stay clear of and another people pulling together and offering kind of accommodation to those who are without, but yeah, its kind of scary updates. Bridge collapsed, avoid this area and so on, but collapsed, avoid this area and so on, but i would have said social media has been fantastic in that respect. Is the school you work at even opening and will you go back today . No. No, its closed until further notice and given the damage that we saw today, i think i sent the picture to the bbc, given the damage that we have seen, you know, that was just superficial damage. We still dont know Structural Foundation damage and the school are incredibly thorough and they have to adhere to government standards. So evenif adhere to government standards. So even if the school was safe, it might be the fact that mexico city, all schools are not opening. For the next few days, it doesnt look like there will be school. Thank you very much for telling your story. Thank you and best of luck as well. Lets get more information about this. It struck at about 1. 15 local time. 6. 15am for us here. For the latest on the response we can speak to victor who works for world vision in mix co city. Us, what has the situation been like for the past few hours and what is happening now . Thank you for having me. So far the estimated amount of casualties is over 140 deaths and the death toll will climb. The government has confirmed that several children have died ina confirmed that several children have died in a school in the southern pa rt died in a school in the southern part of mexico city. This is one of biggest concerns is to ensure that children are safe. Right now, we have organised a group of volunteers to provide support, establish shelters and mobilise tools that are required to continue the rescue efforts. And we are co ordinating to provide a response. What is the situation like outside . I know it is early in the morning, we were hearing from some people in mexico city a there have been thousands of people on the streets. We can see pictures of many people trying to get to survivors who might be trapped under buildings . Thats correct. Once again mexican population is showing their solidarity. In the neighbourhoods in the city decided to just volunteer and help the rescue efforts. 40 of mexico city is still without power and it is expected in the next hours it will come back as well. Thank you victor. That is Victor Martinez from world vision telling us about the rescue operation. We have talked about a school where 30 people are believed to have died and another 40 people are trapped in another building. Preparations in the caribbean and also rescue operations going on there, because of the the latest hurricane, Hurricane Maria. Carol can tell us some more details. Yes, this hurricane is a category 5, following on the heels of hurricane irma. Two of the most powerful ever atla ntic irma. Two of the most powerful ever atlantic hurricanes. They re following slightly different paths. This is the path maria has been taken, you can see the centre of the eye. To be a category five you need sustained wind speeds of 157mph. This hurricane has had wind speeds of 175mph. It is now 165. But in its outer rings with the gusts we are looking at about 200mph. The track it is taking is it is heading to puerto rico, where it could have catastrophic effects. Then it swings into puerto rico. So a different path to hurricane irma. The other thing is it has from the eye out wards, it has 60 miles of hurricane strength winds. It is not a pretty picture. Back at home, we have got a mainly dry start. Some sunshine around first thing. But we have some rain. And the rain will turn heavier through the day courtesy of this front. The airs being pumped up from the south so it is going to be a mild day. Particularly in parts of southern england and wales. But what we have is rain moving across western ireland and scotland and it will get into west wales and South West England. Away from that, there isa west england. Away from that, there is a lot of cloud, the cloud will break up and some will see some sunshine. Parts of the south east and the south West Midlands could hit 21. It will feel muggy. In the south west rain coming in and wales could hit 21. Moving into the isle of man and approaching the north west of england and Dumfries And Galloway and it will be heavier across Northern Ireland with strengthening winds. The same in western scotland with heavy rain and strengthening winds. For Northern England by the afternoon it should still be dry. Through this evening, our two bands of rain push slowly south east wards. Some will be heavy. And like this morning in the south east and east anglia it will be chilly in the countryside. Generally speaking we are looking at temperatures staying in double figures. That is how we start the day tomorrow, with the rain bands continuing to move slowly east. The first one clears, the second one still taking its time, some of the rain will be heavy. Behind it we should see a clearance around dawn in Northern Ireland. So a bright start with sunshine. But showers will develop and further showers in western wales, South West England and western scotland. But we hang on to the brighter skies in south east england. Through the rest of thursday into friday, that front clears, High Pressure builds and and then the next set of fronts. It will be windy again. So too put some picture on that, after a bright start, the cloud builds ahead of the front, the fronts introduce wind and rain and then we see a return to a mixture of sunshine and showers in Northern Ireland through the day. I will be looking for the sunshine in the showers. Thank you. Stephs here with this mornings money news. Toys r us is the big story.
