The queen and the duke of edinburgh attending last nights festival of remembrance. This weekend is one of the most significant days in the royal calendar, one the duke, despite being retired, did not want to miss. But this year there will be one significant difference. Her majesty is handed the wreath, which she places first at the foot of the cenotaph. The service of remembrance has changed very little over the years and one of the key moments has been when the queen lays her wreath on the cenotaph on behalf of britain and the commonwealth. Its a role she has performed all but six times throughout the 65 year reign. Only pregnancy or absence due to foreign royal tours have prevented herfrom doing so. This year, instead ofjoining the line up here on whitehall, the queen and the duke of edinburgh will instead watch proceedings from the balcony of the foreign and commonwealth office. The prince of wales will lay the queens wreath on her behalf. the last post plays the decision to watch, rather than physically take part, in one of the key royal engagements will not have been taken lightly. It is a recognition that the queen is now 91 years old and the ceremony requires standing in often cold temperatures for around half an hour and then walking backwards, navigating a step along the way. But the change is now perhaps the most visible signal yet of the gradual transition of responsibilities from the queen to her son and heir. One day it will be prince charless role as king to lead the nation in remembrance. In the next ten minutes, well be getting more from our royal correspondent, sarah cambell, whos at the cenotaph this morning. A former metropolitan Police Commissioner has confirmed that he knew pornographic material was allegedly found on a computer used by the first secretary of state damian green, in 2008. Sir Paul Stephenson said he was briefed about the claims but regarded them as a side issue to a criminal investigation into leaks from the home office. The allegations were first made public last week by former met assistant commissioner bob quick. Mr green has strenuously denied the claims, which hes described as political smears. Jon donnison reports. Damian green, effectively the Prime Ministers deputy, is one of theresa mays closest colleagues. Already under investigation over allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards a female activist, accusations he denies, the first secretary of state is facing more questions about pornography, allegedly found on his computer. The claim dates back to 2008, when police raided his office as part of an investigation into leaks from the home office. When the allegations were first made last week by a former senior officer in the metropolitan police, damian green offered a strong denial. He said now the former metropolitan Police Commissioner, sir Paul Stephenson, seen here with theresa may in 2010, has confirmed he was aware that pornographic material had allegedly been found. Hes told the bbc he was briefed about the allegation, but said it was a side issue and not relevant to the criminal investigation into the home office leaks. The bbc has contacted mr Greens Office for comment on sir pauls claims but has not yet received a reply. Theresa may has already lost two cabinet ministers this month and this story will only add to the growing feeling her government is under siege.

As weve been hearing, services will take place across the uk today to mark remembrance sunday. The largest event will take place in Central London at the cenotaph, where our royal correspondent Sarah Campbell is for us this morning. It has been a bit wet, but drying up now. Whats the process likely to be . Yes, indeed. Here at whitehall you can see the cenotaph behind me. Weve been here for the last couple of hours and there have been sniffer dogs going up and down. All of the roads are closed in preparation for the ii roads are closed in preparation for the 11 oclock service, the two minutes silence. And then the march pastis minutes silence. And then the march past is very important, hear to the vetera ns past is very important, hear to the veterans and members of the armed forces taking part. Incredibly important to the nation. Its that time only come together to remember who fought on behalf of britain and the commonwealth. I have with me mike roberts, whose son will be taking part. A big moment for him . He came on short notice, but if i can help and do something on the same day, that would be really enjoyable. Im looking forward to see him come past the cenotaph with his grandads medals on his shoulder. You are in the raf and you have also been in the navy. How important is remembrance sunday . Hugely important and its that one big time of the year when we can all and have a think about all of our friends youve done wonderful things throughout the world. Its a chance in the busy nature of life at the moment to pause, reflect and think and come and see great things and great people. One of your sort of roles is to talk about First World War trenches. Its a fascinating story, especially this year because we remember 100 years since the battle of passchendaele, which killed so many in such terrible circumstances. Where i am at the moment weve got a world war i trench system built by the army in 1915. It was recovered, vast areas of it, in 2010 and rebuild up to the standard it was in world war i and when ijoined standard it was in world war i and when i joined a standard it was in world war i and when ijoined a couple of years ago it had been left and gone into disrepair. Soa it had been left and gone into disrepair. So a small team of us tried to bring it back up to life and bring cadet units down there, schools and some of the bedrooms down there, to come and look at it and really paint that picture and give a visual history about life would have been like some of the veterans. It would have been one of the worst areas to work on. You have a lot of schoolchildren that come through now. Whats their reaction . Its a long time for them to understand what happened. What do they take away from its . Its amazing how when you speak to a lot of schoolchildren in your work quite often they take the information in, but the fact that they are consta ntly but the fact that they are constantly asking questions and consta ntly constantly asking questions and constantly being inquisitive about the nature of world war i and the trench system suggests to me that it is creating a real buzz and interest, certainly in world war i and what went on in those times. Do you feel that remembrance sunday is gaining traction, if you like . Although the World War Two years are getting further away and world war i. Getting further away and world war i, there still seems to be such an interest. It does and long may it continue. A great idea, the poppies, and a great concept. I like that its getting bigger and we are still in peoples minds. What will you be thinking of during that two minutes silence . It is very personal. Absolutely. With my past service and people deployed at the moment, i will be thinking about them and who they are missing and what must be going through their minds at this busy time in world politics. And your sons name is . Alex roberts. Im looking forward to seeing him with his school. Thank you very much. As you heard, its notjust about remembering those who were killed and injured in world war i and World War Two, but also those involved in conflicts at the moment and of course many British Service personnel are deployed at the moment and they will be observing this two minutes silence as well. Indeed, those who have been involved in recent conflicts and are still living with lifelong impact, physically and mentally. We will be looking at that later. David dimbleby and Sophie Raworth present coverage of the service on whitehall from 1020 this morning. Heres susan with a look at this mornings weather. Cold air, lots of cold air by the looks . Just about says it all. These are the two things you need to know, cold air right away across the country, coming straight down from the arctic, and the winds are behind me as well, i will emphasise the chilly feel so if youre heading to a parade today, wrap up. We saw rain in london earlier, that is clearing, but further west showers are affecting wales and the midlands and they are likely to carry on through this morning, more showers in Northern Ireland and northern and eastern scotland. Lets take a closer look at how things are looking at 11am. At the cenotaph in london, it should be a fine morning. A bit of cloud around but it will feel cold, just seven as a top temp and that wind making it feel chilly. The south west, scattered showers, a few showers in the south east but a fine story for london. Heavier showers in wales with hail mixed in, some of those drifting into the West Midlands. Some showers in Northern Ireland but tending in to improve in the next couple of hours, heavier showers in the forecast for the highlands and grampians and they will be wintry across high ground. The key factor is lots of sunshine today but the cold air and that very chilly wind will make things feel worse. Where we have lingering showers in norwich, six degrees isnt exactly warm, add on the wind and thats just two degrees as a top temperature through this afternoon. A chilly day across the board. Overnight we start to lose the wind, High Pressure kills that off. Clear skies, like winds at this time of year, perfect setup for a widespread frost. As low as 2 and 3 in rural england, wales and Northern Ireland, 6 england, wales and Northern Ireland, 6 in rural scotland. A chilly start to monday, the cloud will arrive making for a chilly feeling day in the afternoon. Further north, rain in Northern Ireland and scotland but in scotland, we could see some snow down to 150 metres for a time on monday. A wintry feel to the north, a chilly day on monday but milder prospects as the week goes on. Thanks very much, seeing those white fla kes thanks very much, seeing those white flakes of snow, speak to you later. Youre watching breakfast from bbc news. Lets look at the newspapers. Technology expert Dan Sodergren is here to tell us whats caught his eye this morning. Well speak to dan in a minute. Lets ta ke lets take a look through the front pages. Starting with the observer, their headline this isjeremy corbyn with his message to theresa may as a result of the difficulties the foreign secretary has found himself in recently. Careful choice of words lets look at the front page of the daily star sunday, huntley brags ill be out in three years, badged as an exclusive, suggesting the salon murderer could be released from prison relatively soon. Front page of the Daily Telegraph this morning, michael gove talks about his plans for a green brexit resolution. He takes it on fully, his brief, and enthusiastically, he has decided to convert his Department Almost into a full frontal Brexit Office by talking about the impact it will have on the environment. Huge numbers of regulation is controlled by europe that will soon be controlled by the uk so plenty for him to be doing, but he loves delving into the detail. Lets look at the sunday express , detail. Lets look at the sunday express, the rebirth of the uks fishing ports. Its the b word brexit again, brexit will net £3 billion when we take back control of oui seas, says billion when we take back control of our seas, says their Political Editor on the front page of the express. Dan, great to have you with us. Delving into the papers, you are looking at this piece in the telegraph on social media Data Protection law. Now it is small in the paper but this is really important . It is huge, social media is massively important to us all, technology is growing, 2 billion people are on facebook, it is one of the biggest countries in the world if you look at the numbers. You have to look at people who are under 13 using facebook, you should only use it when you are 13 or over, quite a lot of data around this. 24 of people under 13 dont admit to using it. 24 of them have been subject to trolling. They are the ones that admit to using it, others might not mention it. This is under 13s. Theres a sleepover in my house at the moment, whether they are all still asleep or not is another matter, i have escaped, quite clever planning on my part, bunch of 12 year old girls, all of them almost have snapchat. The age limit for that is 13 . The problem you have common you have to put some of this back onto the parents, theyre not necessarily monitoring the use as much as they could. The problem you have, you have to put some of this back onto the parents. It can affect your life in a good way and a bad way. When youre younger parents have to be more digitally mindful. It could be more dangerous than they think. On the issue of digital awareness, the challenge of the age, especially for parents, another story in the mail on sunday, warning on the dont send that sex text. Is this a warning that pops up to say, is this something you want to do . Technology is cleverer than us, it uses a bit Artificial Intelligence it isa uses a bit Artificial Intelligence it is a chat bot, it monitors what theyre doing and it says, should you be doing this . It is like a pa rent you be doing this . It is like a parent looking over the top of them. You might ink that is an awful thing but if the government laws arent doing as much potentially then theres a huge opportunity where pa rents theres a huge opportunity where parents install an app like this using ai and chat bots to monitor their behaviour you might think. Isnt that part of the problem . As you say, parents need to be more involved and more aware of what their children are doing, if you install the chat bots are you saying its not my problem any more . Theres two things, you think about things like youtube and the filters you can put on, separating your amazon into two different bits, i do the same for my daughter. She uses the same for my daughter. She uses the device, but it is on her profile. As a parent i should set that up, i shouldnt need a computer to tell me to do that. At the same time we all need a nudge occasionally. Another layer of protection . How does this Artificial Intelligence determine what is an inappropriate image . This is a huge thing and we will talk about that later about facial recognition software, we re later about facial recognition software, were in a world now where they know what things are good and what are bad. The digital imagery of the shape. We can recognise it. Its getting harder and thats the great thing about technology, it is increasing so much we can do it. Five years ago it wouldnt have been possible. You have delved into the magazines as well this morning, i dont normally get this far into the magazine, we shouldnt be surprised by this, the tech section in the sunday times magazine . Again saying what we were talking about, even the big giants of tech like the steve jobs of this world, the owners, they limit the amount their kids use this technology. They know how potentially, not necessarily dangerous it is, but how it can change the way you behave and they limit it. It gets it slightly wrong this piece, what it is saying is we should use Technology Less in things like education, i think we should use it more but its a matter of timing. Calls for National Guidelines on the use of screen based technology, doesnt specify the recommendations. Theres commonsense. If the recommendations. Theres commonsense. If someone the recommendations. Theres commonsense. If someone is 13 to 18 or even younger and they using it for eight hours a day, you should have a chat with them but i dont think we should throw the baby out with the bathwater and get rid of all take, especially not in schools, because a mobile phone could be used to start a business as much as it could be to go on snapchat. This is from the observer. This survey suggesting that we are more content than we were when we were better off. I think thats part and parcel off. I think thats part and parcel of this technology and social media age we now live in, we puel on the bad side but the Positive Side is we could be more connected than before we dwell on. Money doesnt drive happiness but technology can make people happier. Thank you, great to see you, great to get into the magazines. Technology evangelist we will be back in an hour with more stuff from inside the papers. The Andrew Marr Show is on from 9am this morning after breakfast on bbc one. Whats coming up, andrew . A busy extended show because its remembrance sunday. I will talk to the politicians, michael gove, the environment secretary and leading brexiteer. Sadiq khan, the mayor of london. Im also talking to the great engineer and entrepreneur sir james dyson. On talking to tim parker, boss of the national trust. Annette benning, the actress, and tim parker, and stuart piech, chief of the general staff, im getting mixed up because we got so many guests. A very busy hour and a bit after 9am. With a lineup like that i think we can forgive you repeating one of them thanks, andrew, talk to you later. Its a tradition thats long been the soundtrack to all sorts of occasions, whether joyful or sombre. But there are concerns bell ringing is at risk of dying out. A new uk Wide Campaign is hoping to ring in the changes and attract a new generation to the art form. Breakfasts tim muffett has been to find out more. Trebles going. Shes gone. Weddings. Remembrance. Treble two two national celebrations. Or just another sunday morning. Church bells convey many messages. Five to four. Ringing them brings many benefits. Is good for the brain, its good physical exercise as well. Its both physically and mentally a challenge because you got to concentrate really hard. The sound comes a long time after the actions of listening is key. But this hobby is failing to chime with many. Like many churches eddington primary in wiltshire is struggling to recruit the next generation. Wiltshire is struggling to recruit the nextgeneration. Youngsters dont see it as being a particularly cool thing. Weve got 20 during a ball girls cool thing. Weve got 20 during a ballgirls in cool thing. Weve got 20 during a ball girls in this big parish for four churches but weve only got 11 ringers that are able to ring those bells. Its thought there are around 30,000 active bellringers in the uk. Now, that might sound like quite a few but there are concerns as to how many there will be in ten or 20 yea rs many there will be in ten or 20 years time. So the aim of ringing remembers is to recruit 11100 new ringers by Armistice Day of next year. That numbers been chosen to honour the 1400 numbers been chosen to honour the 11100 bellringers killed during world war i. This is the memorial book of Church Bellringers who fell in the great war. Alan regan has been researching their lives and the impacts of their deaths. You can see one of the bellringers from this very church . Indeed, leonard druitt, he was one of the six ringers from eddington that died. There were six bells in those days, six ringers died, so their band was gone. Its a National Recruitment Campaign Funded by the department for communities and local government. But in eddington, theyre about to try a direct approach. Hi, guys, sorry to bother you. I dont suppose youd like to try your hand at bellringing . Have you guys ever tried bellringing before . Bellringing . Have you guys ever tried bellringing before . |j bellringing . Have you guys ever tried bellringing before . I havent, no. Today most bellringers are getting on and if new people join now they can be trained by these experienced wonderful bellringers and that will pass it on. Thats it, dont look up, just keep looking straight ahead. Its a bit complicated, you got to keep looking, youve got to keep your eyes straight, i keep wanting to look more up. On occasion we need to go faster, or i can go slow by letting its leather through my fingers. I thought it would be a lot harderand fingers. I thought it would be a lot harder and its not really, its just a fluid movement it slither. Two new ringers showing the ropes, many more wanted. Tim muffet, bbc news in eddington in wiltshire. Very impressive. I was saying it was supposed to be good exercise genuinely, good for these muscles. Good to zone out of date to day stuff and do something else. We all need a bit of that youre watching breakfast. Still to come this morning Northern Ireland have just one game left to secure a place at the world cup finals for the first time in more than 30 years. Well be speaking to our reporter in switzerland as we look ahead to this evenings match. Stay with us, headlines coming up next. Hello, this is breakfast, with Rachel Burden and chris mason. Heres a summary of this mornings main stories from bbc news. Services will be held at War Memorials and churches at 11am this morning to remember those who died in two world wars and other conflicts. Thousands of veterans and military personnel willjoin members of the royal family for the National Service of remembrance at the cenotaph in london. In a break with tradition, the queens wreath will be laid by prince charles, while her majesty watches the ceremony from a nearby balcony. A former metropolitan Police Commissioner has confirmed to the bbc that he was aware pornographic material was allegedly found on a computer used by the first secretary of state, damian green, in 2008. Sir Paul Stephenson said he was briefed about the claims but regarded them as a side issue to a criminal investigation into leaks from the home office. The allegations were made public last week by a former senior officer at scotland yard. Mr green has denied the claims and described them as a political smear a new watchdog to protect the environment after britain leaves the European Union is being planned by the government. The environment secretary michael gove has promised an organisation with real bite amid concerns that existing rules could be watered down when brexit takes place. The announcment comes as the commons prepares for another vote on the eu withdrawal bill this week. Out of hours Palliative Care for children with life limiting conditions in england is patchy and inconsistent, according to a new report seen by the bbc. It suggests some families are forced to go to a e during the night and at weekends. Were joined now by 5live investigates presenter adrian goldberg. Good morning. Give us a sense of what these figures cap into. We are talking about Something Like 50,000 children across the country who need Palliative Care. These are children who have incurable conditions, but it doesnt mean they will die straightaway. Some children who need Palliative Care may live for a number of years, but they are obviously seriously ill and need a lot of care. The charity wrote to every Clinical Commissioning Group in england. They are the people who hold the pursestrings for the nhs and they found only two thirds of them could say they provide Palliative Care for these children out of hours, or at weekends, and obviously that leaves parents in a difficult situation because children need some intensive medical care, they might need some intervention if its out of hours at through the night. You may need to go to emergency, with all the disruption at courses, and it may not be the most appropriate setting for your child. What is the obligation of local trusts . There are guidelines which suggest they should provide some kind of specialist out of hours care, but at the moment they are not mandatory. So the national is issued for care of excellence say they do set a standard for hours of hours ca re set a standard for hours of hours care but at the moment it is not compulsory to provide that. Thank you very much for the time being. Two more teenagers are facing murder charges after a 17 year old boy was stabbed to death at a park in south east london. Michaeljonas was fatally wounded in penge, earlier this month. Police say the 1a and 17 year old boys are due to appear at Bromley Magistrates Court tomorrow. Two other teenagers have already appeared in court, charged with murder. The australian actor rebel wilson has become the latest Hollywood Star to claim she has been a victim of sexual harassment. In a series of tweets, the Pitch Perfect actor alleged an unnamed male star in a position of power had repeatedly asked her to perform a sexual act. She also claimed she had a separate hotel room encounter with a top director, but said she managed to escape before anything physical happened. The open university and the institute of directors have written to the chancellor, calling for tax breaks for companies and employees willing to re train to meet skills shortages. They want next weeks budget to help bring about what they call a cultural change in attitudes to life long learning. The government has said its proposed industrial strategy white paper would address british workers getting the right skills for the 21st century workplace. Its often said that everything is bigger in america, and heres a Christmas Tree that lives up to that claim. At 75 feet tall and 50 feet wide, the Rockefeller Centre Christmas Tree in new york arrived this weekend and is set to be decorated with more than 50,000 lights. The norweigan spruce was spotted seven years ago by the Rockefeller Centers gardener. So presumably they have been keeping an iron on keeping an eye on it, to find the perfect time to cut it down. I wouldnt fancy being the lorry driver who had to navigate the streets of manhattan with that beast on the back i wonder what that kind of tree would weigh . Very heavy, i suspect imagine taking that out for the recycling at the end of the Christmas Period the lights themselves would weigh a lot and the electricity bill come january all things sport and all things cricket. We are keeping a night on the ashes in australia . The womens ashes test in sydney. England need to avoid defeat because of the way the points system works across the four months of the game. They are doing pretty well. But even if they avoid defeat, they cant win the ashes back, can they . They can. If they avoid defeat and its a draw, at the moment it is for two to australia, so the points difference will remain the same. If they lose tonight its all over, but then they move on to the three twe nty20 then they move on to the three twenty20 matches. They are doing pretty well and battling away in their second innings. Closing in on a draw at the north sydney oval, which would keep the series alive. England were trailing by 128 when play resumed today and were really struggling at one point. Tammy beaumont was the first wicket to fall on 37. Then Lauren Winfield was out lbw to Tahlia Mcgrath on 34. But with Heather Knight and Georgia Elwiss at the crease theyve regrouped. And a draw is looking increasingly likely, with england still trailing by 21 runs, with eight wickets remaining. Crucially with time running out for the australians to force a victory. Republic of ireland managed a goaless draw in the first leg of their world cup play off against denmark in copenhagen. The best chances on the night fell to the home side. Darren randolph parried christian erriksens shot and pione sisto fired wide with the rebound. And randolph was called into action again late on tipping over Yussuf Poulsens header in stoppage time. So the match evenly poised ahead of tuesdays return match in dublin. It is what it is. We came out here and we know that we needed to do a job, which weve done. Weve got 90 minutes now to try and get to the world cup. Were close, but its going to be a real tough game. It was difficult tonight and we will expect more of that on tuesday. Northern ireland face an uphill struggle to qualify for their first world cup since 1986 when they take on switzerland in the second leg of their play off in basel this evening. The green and white army are sure to be in good voice, despite knowing their team has to overturn a 1 0 defeat from thursdays first leg. Jessica creighton is outside st. Jakob park in basel for us this morning. Its going to be tough for michael oneils team, jess, but are they confident they can come through it . Yes, good morning. Well, the mood in the camp seems to be quite positive and actually the team seemed to believe its the swiss players that have all the pressure on them to now finished thejob. For have all the pressure on them to now finished the job. For that reason the Northern Ireland team feel as though they have nothing to lose. A massive game in their footballing history. Im outside the stadium at the moment and its actually surrounded by a block of flats, quite an assuming, but im sure the atmosphere will pick up in the hours leading up to kick off. Fans have already been arriving to the city of basel. I spoke to quite a few of them on the plane over and they are still frustrated at the nature of that loss in the first leg. You would have seen that controversial penalty decision given by the referee. A shot came in from the swiss player and it seemed to hit the back of the shoulder of one of the back of the shoulder of one of the Northern Ireland players, cory eva ns, the Northern Ireland players, cory evans, of the referee deemed that was a handball, despite cory evans having his hand by his side. That means Northern Ireland now go into the second leg with a 1 0 loss on their side. A massive loss for them, really, considering their footballing history, but the players asi footballing history, but the players as i say seemed to be up it. Theyve been on the pitch here training last night, i guess familiarising themselves with the setting and getting to grips with the size of the task at hand. If you look at this on paper they are massive underdogs, Northern Ireland. Way below switzerland in the rankings. A three match losing streak where they have only got one goal. But Northern Ireland have been one of the surprise packages of european football in recent years. Remember that incredible run at the euro 2016 last summer, when they reached the last summer, when they reached the last 16 . They just fell short. Despite being huge underdogs, thats football. Despite the odds being stacked against them, its all down to what happens in those 90 minutes of football and it can be utterly unpredictable, so you wouldnt want to bet against Northern Ireland just yet. Thank you very much indeed. Now onto rugby union. Mixed fortunes in the autumn internationals. Wins for england, ireland and scotland, but waless torrid run against australia continues. Alex gulrajani rounds up all the action. The autumn sets north against south. A chance to suss out enemies from further afield and, for warren gatland, time to get settled back into the welsh hot seat. A nice and easy welcome back. 12 games with australia, 12 defeats for wales. An early home try spread hope around cardiff. It didnt last long. A lapse in defence pounced upon and punished. Gap found there and more from kurtley beale. The full back taking full advantage of a welsh defence slow to react, as he pinched in and raced away. A late rally closed the gap for wales as they take positives going forward. Hopefully people can see what were trying to do. I think we probably hurt ourselves in the first half. Credit to australia, put pressure on. Hopefully people can see the positive way we are trying to play. There was more evidence of attacking rugby in ireland. They were rampant against south africa. They clashed, but the only team scoring was the irish. 38 3 was the margin of victory. A record win for the hosts over their visitors. Samoa arrived on these isles amid financial woes and fears for their future, but all those problems were left off the field. A frantic match with scotland saw stuart hogg return to action with an early try. But scotland couldnt get away from their wily opponents. 11 tries in total, a late samoan rally held off by Gregor Townsends men. Not as much excitement down at twickenham, though, as england just about emerged victorious over argentina. Nathan hughess early try gave them the foundation but they never really took off. Eddie jones far from content. An off day from the argentine kickers helped, as did a final try. But englands know they need to improve. We need to be a lot better. This is the start of the international season, so well take that result, but we need to step up the intensity and application to beat australia next week. And thats just what eddie jones is hoping for. There was more british success at track cycling world cup in manchester last night. Great britains mens pursuit team made sure of a gold medal on day two of the event. The team ridden by steven burke, kian emadi, ed clancy and ollie wood beat denmark in the final. Im well happy weve won. The home crowd was awesome, as always. We love racing on this track. But weve got to see this as the starting point and it is. If we can do this time, with that amount of work, we wont see an investment on that until further round the track season. So were in a good place, but hopefully this is just the beginning. The success didnt end there, Britains Kate archibald and Elinor Barker secured gold in the womens maddison. They scored 32 points overall and pipped world champions belgium to the top prize byjust two points. Lewis hamilton will start from the back of the grid and declared were all human after crashing in yesterdays qualifying session for the brazilian grand prix. He lost control of his mercedes at 160 mph on turn six of the interlagos circuit, before hitting the barrier. Hamilton has already won his fourth formula 1 title but starts on the back row as he didnt register a time. His team mate Valtteri Bottas will start in pole postion. I feel good. Still a bit shaky, you know . Its a good feeling. It was just a nice lap. It was so close between sebastian, in qualifying. Getting a good lap in the end and obviously lewis was out in the beginning, which was a shame for us. Mark marquez of spain will start in pole position ahead of the days valencia grand prix. The last motogp race of the season. He is tightening his grip on the World Championship and only needs to finish 11th today to be champion for the fourth time in five years. He is an incredible writer. He made his debut when he was 15 rider. An update on the womens ashes score, 148 2. The light is beginning to fade a little bit. Its that tricky twilight period. They will have dinner and that will be best the final session. Elyse perry, the australian player, is not only extraordinary at cricket but also plays for all. She made a record score for an australian woman in this match. 213 not out. She was 16 when she made her debut for australia at cricket. That was the youngest of any man and woman. Then two weeks after that she played for her country in football. She scored an amazing goal in a quarter final and also took three wickets, i think it was three, in a world cup match for australia with a broken ankle. Extraordinary like ian botham. He played football on the site, but shes doing it at the top level. And to do it simultaneously is amazing. She also writes childrens stories. She says she isnt good at technology or netball, but i bet she is heres susan with a look at this mornings weather. Many of you will be out and about taking part in Remembrance Day services and parades, how is it looking . A cold day across the british isles, air from looking . A cold day across the british isles, airfrom the looking . A cold day across the british isles, air from the arctic will bring biting northerly winds. This heron had the right idea in staffordshi re this heron had the right idea in staffordshire a short time ago, hunkered down against the cold. Plenty of sunshine on offer to get the day under way, bright skies as the day under way, bright skies as the sun came up across manchester. Lets look at the bigger picture, the showers across wales and the midlands at the moment. Elsewhere a lot of sunshine first thing, some showers in Northern Ireland and some affecting the far north and east of scotland. Some rain earlier at the cenotaph but it looks like a dry picture through the morning but feeling chilly, just seven as a top temperature and with the wind, feeling more cold. For the south west, a breezy story with a few showers. The heaviest continuing across wales and perhaps the West Midlands and a few possible further east but generally eastern areas getting the best of the sunshine. Northern ireland with a few showers this morning. Sunshine for much of scotland, lovely story in the south and central belt but the showers in the north heavier, a keen wind in the north heavier, a keen wind in the north east of scotland so temperatures will feel closer to freezing in aberdeen with the wind and showers and that wind down the north sea coast particularly raw this afternoon, easing off a bit in the west. For the likes of norwich with the showers beading onshore through the afternoon and the wind, just two degrees is pretty much what it will feel like if youre out and about seeding onshore. Overnight tonight the wind will fall light, the High Pressure comes in from the west, spreading out the isobars and the air becomes stale and the skies will clear and then we are set up for a widespread frost. Becomes still. 5, 6 for a widespread frost. Becomes still. 5, 6 in rural scotland. A cold start to the new week, a bright one but the cloud piles into england and wales. The rain comes into Northern Ireland and scotland and we could see some snow down to 150 metres for a time in scotland on monday so a wintry feel to the weather to get the new week under way. Time to dig out the vests. Thanks bromance, susan well be back with the headlines at 8am, but first its time for the travel show. This week on the travel show. As the world marks Armistice Day, we are in america to explore a fleet of abandoned First World War ships. We meet the spider men and women of guizhou in china. And go behind the scenes at a new show were the cast members have to get used to performing in a downpour. The potomac passes some of washington, dcs most iconic landmarks. George washington, founding father and original president of the United States, lived on its banks. But follow the river just 30 miles south and you will discover a section that is a world away from the capitals boulevards and monuments. This is mallows bay and it is a paradise for kayakers. When you look around, you can see why. So much Natural Beauty here and the wildlife is amazing. When the bay is full, you might assume it isjust another beauty spot. But as the tide rolls out, its secrets are revealed. This is what remains of potentially the Largest Group of world war i ships anywhere in the world. And i am here a century after the United States entered the conflict. The wreckage of around 100 war era vessels can be discovered here. To find out how they ended up 30 miles south of washington, dc, ive arranged to meet marine expert donald shomette. Hello, there. Hello. How are you going . Lovely to meet you. When we entered the war, we didnt have much of an army or a navy or much of anything and when we asked the Prime Minister of england, lloyd george, what can we do, he said ships, ships and more ships because one out of every two ships was being lost per week that sailed from england to france and the supply line was stretched. There was the threat of starvation. By 1918, we outstripped the united kingdom, great britain, in shipbuilding. While the makeshift vessels were built at a breathtaking speed, they were completed too late to play a major part in the war. After the armistice, the world was in economic turmoil and the wooden ships, obsolete. With few commercial prospects, the Us Government sold them off to a salvage company. The company eventually brought them over here in this burning basin over here, they take the ships, burn them down and try and get the maximum metal out of them. So this is a graveyard for ships . Yeah. And its notjust First World War vessels which can be found here. Donald claims the oldest wreck goes all the way back to the american war of independence, 240 years ago. In total, it is estimated the area holds the remains of almost 200 ships. This wreck is a latecomer. She is called the accomac and she was built in the late 1920s as a passenger ferry. The crazy thing is, even though this ship has died, there is so much living stuff on it. On the surface, the wrecks might look like an environmental disaster but they have been left alone long enough to be reclaimed by nature. Back in my kayak, i am joined by conservationist joel dunn. You can see why they call these shipwrecks flowerpots. In the uk, people pay good money to have biodiversity like this on the roofs of their houses. What sort of wildlife can i expect to see . Bald eagles and ospreys and Great Blue Heron and otters and beavers and lots of fish below the water. So you could be eaten by the wildlife if you go back into the bush there . The bay is a relatively Shallow Water body with a typically muddy bottom so the shipwrecks create structure and from structure, you get diversity and from diversity, you get magic. Joel, donald and other conservation groups have teamed up to have mallows bay recognised as a National Marine sanctuary. If approved, the sites wildlife and history will come under the protection of noaa, the National Oceanic and atmospheric administration. So theres 13 National Marine sanctuaries in the country, we want this to be the 14th. It will bring it more attention, partners in funding and some level of protection from people who may be harvesting historical artefacts. The biggest thing it does, though, is it creates a National Tourism resource that brings people from all over the world. But opinions are divided on these new protections. Nearby, i meet some commercial fishermen making their living from the rivers teeming wildlife. Slimy gross thing. These are the blue catch. They are ugly suckers, arent they . Not real pretty. They migrated down. Its a million and a half dollar industryjust on this river alone. They are concerned that turning mallows bay into a National Marine sanctuary could down the line lead to restrictions on our fishing. Our problem is the unknowns. We want it to put in writing that they that will never bother our industry because our livelihoods depend on it as they will not give it to us, they say, we cant do it. They say they have no plans to do it. Wont the extra tourism benefit you . No. People go into the restaurants who will want to eat, therell be demand for more fish, wont there . Our sales will not increase that much in that area. People will be going back to dc. The organisations behind the nomination insist their plans wont impact fishing. The final decision is expected next year. Donald is adamant about the benefits that sanctuary status will bring to mallows bay. The visitation will enlarge enormously after it becomes a National Marine sanctuary. We want americans to see this, we want the world to see this. This is a world class site. These ships were involved in saving the world from totalitarianism. This is important. Next up, we are travelling to guizhou in china, home of the miao minority, where for centuries they have climbed the regions sheer cliff faces without ropes. In the past they did it to collect herbs for traditional chinese medicines, but we heard that theyre now putting their skills to a different use. So we went to meet them, and it goes without saying, please dont try this at home. The incredible spider men and women of guizhou in china. Thats it for this week. Coming up next week carmen is injapan, learning about what is being done to help save one of the countrys most beautiful train lines. I never expected this tiny station to be so busy. I dont think were going to get a seat and were off to new york to join a dinner party with a difference and dont forget you can keep up with us in real time by following all our social media feed. All the details should be on your screens right now. But for now from me and all the travel show team here in maryland, its goodbye. Hello, this is breakfast, with Rachel Burden and chris mason. The uk prepares to mark remembrance sunday. Thousands of services will be held at War Memorials and churches across the uk to remember those who died in two world wars and other conflicts. I live on horse guards were veterans are preparing to arrive to take part in the 10,000 strong march past the cenotaph on whitehall. Good morning, its sunday 12th november. Also this morning. A former head of the metropolitan Police Confirms he knew that pornographic material had allegedly been found on a computer used by first secretary of state damian green ten years
