Yes, ican what is going on this morning . Yes, i can sort you does not i can talk to you a lot about the wind now because were talking about typhoon hagibis. This is because it is to take. The Japanese Met Agency have categorised it as a violin typhoon. If this was in the atlantic, it would be a category five hurricane so would be a category five hurricane 03 would be a category five hurricane so a massive beast. And as it approaches, we think south honshu. But still a lot to play for. Dont be full, it will still have a 103 mile an hour sustained speed, and severe gusts. It is likely to deposit 300 500 millimetres of rainfall but will weaken as it makes its way the islands. This is a home, what we have today is a windy day, nothing like that, though. It is going to be wet at times. We are looking at showers for the rest of this week. Low pressure is going to be dominating the weather over the next few days, you can see from this guitar string like isobar array that it guitar string like isobar array thatitis guitar string like isobar array that it is going to be windy. So we are handing onto these yellows, the wind is coming from the south west. Temperatures will be roughly where they should be at this time in october. Some of us we are starting ona drainer, october. Some of us we are starting on a drainer, a sony note as well, but a lot of showers coming in from the west starting on a dry note, a sony note. Some of the showers are merging together, indicating the kind of dusting you can expect. Strongest in the north west. Temperatures 11 17. If you get out of the wind, out of those showers, it wont feel too bad. As we had on through the evening and overnight period, we will have a lot of showers. Still lots of gusty winds, blowing from the west towards these as we go through the night. Temperature wise, perhaps down a touch, but nonetheless we not expecting any issues with fog authorised, there is too much wind around for either. Fog authorised. Low pressure is still the dominant feature, you can see it to the north of scotland. Once again we will see further showers. Those showers good form anywhere. Once again, looking at some of the merging to give heavier downpours. We could see some haylen season thunder see some haylen here some thunder see some haylen here some thunder as well. Temperatures ranging from 11 in the north to 15 as we sweep down towards the south. On wednesday into thursday, we still have low pressure dominating. This weather front is giving us a wee bit ofa weather front is giving us a wee bit of a headache. Well see some rain coming in from the west across northern parts of the uk, as we come further south, something drier and brighter, but still one or two showers, and the other thing is it isnt going to be as windy as the next couple of days. Temperatures 1018, next couple of days. Temperatures 10 18, so you can see the trend. Its just a little bit warmer, especially so in the south. That leads us into the weekend, and once again, well, the weekend balls looking a bit unsettled. We will still have some showers, we will still have some showers, we will still see some rain, but in between there will also be some sunshine. Back to you. Thank you very much. Sally was doing a bit of a weather report, stealing your thunder, quite literally. No, that is snowjoke. Never take on curra with weather based jokes carol. Thousands of Climate Change activists around the world are taking part in a two week protest, calling for urgent Government Action to reduce Carbon Emissions. An event in london, organised by Environmental Campaign group Extinction Rebellion caused significant disruption yesterday. Activists set up blockades and some chained themselves to vehicles and railings. Brea kfasts tim muffett is in Central London this morning. Sam, im sure you saw the quote from the Prime Minister calling these people uncooperative crusties, who should stop blocking the streets with their hemp smelling bivouacked. Many parts of london were com pletely. Many parts of london were completely blocked off, we are at whitehall, many, many dancers you can see. Many protesters have slept the night here on the streets. Part of the Extinction Rebellion protest, they want zero Carbon Emissions in they want zero Carbon Emissions in the uk by 2025 and a Citizens Assembly set up to impose that. Many think those are unrealistic expectations. Yesterday, i spent time with protesters and those caught up by the disruption and heard what they had to say. The rhythm of london, radically altered. Grievances, gridlock. Teresa is a 61 year old carerfrom scarborough. Scientists have told us u nless we scarborough. Scientists have told us unless we change the way we are living, we are heading for a mass extinction. Its going to be a horror show. What about the disruption you are causing . Ordinary people going about their everyday lives . Were very sorry, but its the only way we can make our pay attention. We are non violent, direct action. We are all using the system that is being given to us. I drive a diesel man, im not proud of it, but is its the only way in still better cheaper transport can be brought in an electric cars can be brought in an electric cars can be made more available. It does seem kind of odd, to be honest. It does seem odd, but i dont have a lot of money, i cant afford an electric car. This man normally crisscrosses london in his taxi, but not today. What impact is this happening on your likelihood . If you get the emissions tests around this zone, it is going to be high, definitely. We arent moving. What is your message to the protesters . We are trying to change, but you cant force overnight change, i would say, you know . As with previous protests, this one has celebrity support. None of us would need to be here governments were doing what they needed to be doing, but they arent. Many people say there is a level of hypocrisy because a lot of these people will drive cars, they will fly, people will drive cars, they will fly, you are a successful actor, no doubt you fly, or do you play . |j fly, you are a successful actor, no doubt you fly, or do you play . I cry when i have to but im trying to reduce flying. What extension rebellion not about what, well, its very important to take personal measures, but there is a huge issue here, what they are calling for is Government Action. Would you be arrested for this cause . Preferably not today, but i would if i needed to be. Two weeks of protostar plan, it could be that the disruption has only just it could be that the disruption has onlyjust begun. It could be that the disruption has only just begun. It could be that the disruption has onlyjust begun. Two weeks of protests are planned. We spoke to carolyn and claudia who slept overnight here. What do you hope to achieve . I hope for the government to listen to us. I read yesterday that boris thinks he may be egged if he came and talked to us, many of us are vegans, he came and talked to us, many of us are vegans, it would be very wasteful, and we are non violent and peaceful. We just want to talk about a crisis that we think are facts the whole of humanity. We want to achieve without people to a hero, and understand does make people to hear and understand the three demands we mention. The number of resources used to deal with managing this is extraordinary. What do you think about that . Im very scared about what is happening to our world, and i want to increase awareness is best we can. Every person who has lately inconvenienced, they may ask what are these rebels doing . What do they want . And theyll ask that question and talk to someone, maybe even look them up on the internet. Increased awareness of this dire situation were in. 30 more days of this, the people of london are going to be hugely disrupted 13. What do you think might happen at the end of those 13 days. Do you think there would be a big change . Last time, the claimant emergency was declared shortly afterward. We need the government to claimant emergency, but we need the government, not the parliaments who gladly emergency. We are looking to declare a claimant emergency. Everything is at risk, and we cant afford to see that disappear. You can see the tents behind me. The protesters say there will be 13 more days of this. So whatever your views on this, london is going to look like a slightly different place for the next two weeks. And i will be speaking to the Deputy Commissioner of the metropolitan police as well. Still to come in addition to that, we will have the latest on the future of the restau ra nt have the latest on the future of the restaurant chain its express. Pizza express. Right now, the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im asad ahmad. Activists from Animal Rebellion a movement linked to Extinction Rebellion have spent the night occupying smithfield meat market in farringdon. They said they wanted the world famous market to share their vision of a future pla nt based food system. Protestors held a minutes silence for what they said were animals whose lives are lost at smithfield before selling pla nt based products there. If you want to be a vegetarian, via vegetarian. Whatever. These are people who need to work, they need to earn a living, they need to have jobs.

He brings a good knowledge of the county set up having led essex to the county championship in 2017. And he already has a Good Relationship with englands players and selectors, having been fast bowling coach for the last 18 months. Finally you might have missed a few of the new rules that have come into force in football this year. One player in Northern Ireland has found out the hard way about one of them. Glentorans striker Darren Murphy was substituted in his sides match against cliftonville, but this season players have to leave the pitch at the nearest point, so they cant waste time. So when murphy didnt do that the referee followed him, and sent him off before he could leave the field. He will not be doing that again. They went down to ten men, conceded and lost the match. I feel sorry for all of them. It is the rules. It is all of them. It is the rules. It is a harsh way to learn that lesson. The Royal London Hospital is one of europes busiest trauma centres. On average two people are admitted there every day with injuries from knife crime. Attacks have become so commonplace in some communities, that experts are shocked by the ease at which people are willing to use knives to settle the pettiest of scores. Clive myrie has spent the last few months filming at the hospital and sent us this report. At the Royal London Hospital staff we re at the Royal London Hospital staff were on alert. Another big of knife crime is about to enter the building. This man took a single blow to thejob. Building. This man took a single blow to the job. A staggering act of aggression in the middle of a petty quarrel. It is over nothing. It is pointless. Deprivation and hopelessness can attempt youngsters tojoin gangs hopelessness can attempt youngsters to join gangs and hopelessness can attempt youngsters tojoin gangs and deal drugs hopelessness can attempt youngsters to join gangs and deal drugs and the ease of access from any kitchen drawer means knife are ready weapons in any turf war or to settle scores. The fact that were living in a society where is normal based at the Royal London Hospital, her team councils knife crime victims after surgery, helping to prevent revenge attacks. It is heartbreaking because eocene children, families whose lives are destroyed. I had a young person here a couple of weeks ago, his mum found out on snapchat. She found out on snapchat that her child had been stabbed. Now, what does that say about society . It is kind of losing here. A society where teenagers are having to be taught life saving skills because of the prevalence of knife crime. It has come to this. What happens if you are out and you find out someone is carrying a knife . Tell them, what do you think you are doing they are not evil people, they do it for fear, out of peer pressure, protection, to be part of a gang. But knives make it more likely to be violent because it is in your pocket and you can use it. The key for society, dissuading young people from putting knives in their pockets in the first place. Were joined now from the Royal London Hospital by consultant trauma surgeon, martin griffiths. There is so much to talk to you about. He talked about why people might be carrying knives and talked about fear. What would you say to a young person thinking it is the right thing to do to put a knife in their pocket and leave their home . It isa their pocket and leave their home . It is a good question. I think, people like to interrogate people. I like to listen first and ask why. People like to interrogate people. I like to listen first and ask whylj note this is part of yourjob, you listen and ask them why and there is a myriad of reasons, isnt that . think it is important to look at individual situations. People like to lump issues together but each individual has a certain set of drivers that make them carry weapons and we need to try and find out what situation is in their home life, personal life, that made them make these dangerous choices. It is a desperate situation. People trying to teach young people how to save somebody from a knife attack. How do you get out of the situation of that being a think you have to do . Thing. It is a practical skill, it has implications about how we look after people that are injured, but more important it allows us to enter the conversation about what it means to bea the conversation about what it means to be a user and a victim of knife injury. Moving forward to practicalities and motivation. You have been very successful with people coming into your hospital who are not coming in again. Is it again about individual conversations . think the Programme Works because it is about consistency and a nurturing bond that lasts a significant period of time. Our case managers work with the patients and their families. Of time. Our case managers work with the patients and theirfamilies. To work out how these victims have got here and how we can offer them positive choices. You are now nhs Violence Reduction is the end trauma surgeon. Violence reduction is the end trauma surgeon. Laughter. It is an extraordinary title. What is your priority and how are you going to change things things . priority and how are you going to change things things . I went into the nhs and i am helping the Clinical Network and that is the combined practice. The idea is that the nhs has excellent practice that reduce violence and prevent injury and what were going to do is co ordinate and formulate a message and our healthca re co ordinate and formulate a message and our healthcare workers who live in the community we serve become more effective in reducing violence. Can you roll out across the uk, is that what your aim would be as did mark probably. Tell us about the victims. Is it your view that they seem to be getting younger . What can you tell us . Well, the most common age in our department is 16, and the second most common age is 15. These are children of school age. They are getting younger and younger, and thatis getting younger and younger, and that is disconcerting. These are scared, Young Children often being scared, Young Children often being scared by other scared, Young Children. We need to understand that first when we talk about solutions. I heard you talk about the fact that they deem, the people who are carrying out these stabbings, seem to have knowledge on how to cause a really serious injury. In conversations we have seem to notice that there have been more complex and life threatening injuries as time has passed. We are concerned that the pattern is changing and we worry that this relates to either a change in knowledgebase, experience, or practice. I dont think its random and were doing some work to try and assess this more formally. We really appreciate this work in your field. Martin we really appreciate this work in yourfield. Martin griffiths, thank you. Apologies for the problems with the image quality. Really good to hear from the image quality. Really good to hearfrom him this morning. The image quality. Really good to hear from him this morning. Whatever guest weve got on this morning, you can get involved in the programme. There is always somebody manning the e mails, and you can find us on facebook, twitter, and all social media this morning. Why not enjoy it . There is a healthy discussion that goes along. I dont know how you find the time. Just a little look every now and again. Carol has got a lovely rainbow for us. It is a double . Good eyesight good morning. We have a very strong jet stream, so, low pressure is dominating our weather, and is driving in a lot of showers, some rain, and also rather windy conditions. That sets us up quite nicely. You can sit here across the north of the country, drifting over towards the far north of scotla nd drifting over towards the far north of scotland and with us for the next few days. The wind around it is coming from the west and south west, so that is quite a cold direction for us. Coming infrom so that is quite a cold direction for us. Coming in from the atlantic, you can see yellows, meaning temperatures are where they roughly should be at this time for this point in the year. No problems with frost or fog. Today we have a lot of showers. Gusting to gale force in the north and the west, you can see the north and the west, you can see the gust speeds in the black circles. Those showers could rattle through quite quickly but also be heavy with hail and thunder. Some temperatures 11 17 degrees. As we had on through the evening and overnight, its a bit of a repeat performance. Still a lot of showers, still some of them heavy, still gusty winds, and some clear skies. But if anything, temperatures this coming night will be just a little bit lower than the night that has just gone. But for the time of year, still not bad, no problems with frost or fog. As we move through wednesday you can see we still have low pressure dominating our weather. This weather front coming in, enhancing all the showers. Still windy as well, gusty winds, blustery around those showers. And today you could catch a shower almost anywhere. But as is the nature of showers, some of us will dodge them and stay dry with some sunshine. Temperatures tomorrow ranging from 11 in the north to 15 in the south. Now, as we head into thursday and friday, there is a little bit of a question mark over the positioning of some fronts. We will see rain coming in across the atlantic and moving in across Northern Ireland, northern england. As we come further south, we think it will be dry with some sunshine. I could change. It all depends where this front ends up. As all depends where this front ends up. As i mentioned, its what we think at the moment. And whatever happens on thursday will have a bearing on friday. But what i can tell you is the next few days after that remain unsettled with some rain or some showers, but as always, a little bit of sunshine in between. Sunshine and double rainbows, great. Reports say the restaurant chain Pizza Express is facing some big problems. Ben has been taking a look. No sunshine and rainbows there. Lots of speculation about the future of Pizza Express. Reports say its called in advisers not confirmed by Pizza Express. But the company is facing some big challenges. So what do we know . Well, Pizza Express launched in london in 1965. From just one store, it grew into a massive chain with around 480 restaurants in the uk and ireland. In august, it reported a 10 fall in half year profits, with sales pretty flat. So the company says its focusing on upgrading its existing restaurants, rather than opening new ones. But its a tough market. Seen anecdotal evidence from all sorts of firms that this casual dining sector as it is cold is really struggling. Called. Prezzo, a competitor of Pizza Express, shut down 94 of its restaurants last year. Jamie olivers dining chain filed for insolvency in may. Others like giraffe, Gourmet Burger Kitchen and ca rluccios have all been in trouble. Many have asked landlords and suppliers to cut rents and prices. But for Pizza Express, its the companys debt thats a problem. It has had to pay interest on that. In last years accounts, it had £1 billion worth of debt with interest charges of more than £90 million. Those repayments wiping out any operating profits. Thats the frustrating thing for a business. Its making a reasonable amount of caste, Pizza Express right now, there is no danger of disappearing, but the idea it has to pay all this interest means is the future looks a bit unstable. Its cold in advisors to help have a look at what is happening next. And in the light of thomas cook, we know what debt can do to a firm, thomas cook owed £1. 5 billion. It means a company can be doing pretty well in terms of customers and popularity, but debt can be real trouble. That debt is due in 2021, so there is some time to sort this out. There was chatter on social media. One of the theories was it was one of those firms or brands that expanded too quickly. You go to some towns and there may be three or four of them ina there may be three or four of them in a short distance of each other. It is one of those has 1. 6 million per restaurant, per restaurant the real worry for them as you might notice they are busy on a thursday ora notice they are busy on a thursday or a friday night or maybe saturday night, but they have those overheads seven days a week and they are really expensive. They have to get people through those doors all week to make those restaurants work. And then you look at rising input costs, a lot of things imported from overseas now cost a bit more because of the increase due to the lower british pound. They also have to pay more to their staff, that is affecting profits. And rents and rates on high street, that cost them, altogether, its a bit of a perfect storm. Weve seen this happen across the casual dining sector. Its the squeeze in the middle that we hear a lot about, the ones that dont particularly stand out, reliable favourites, they may be the first to go when they rein in their spending. You get a sense of joan. We will see you later, thank you. Its 6 55am. Still to come on breakfast some children are breathing in pollution, equivalent to a packet of cigarettes every week, while on the school run. Were in sheffield speaking to parents and students. And we are also in london this morning because we know that some people from Extinction Rebellion are camped out on the street, we will be speaking to a representative of Extinction Rebellion as well as a member of the metropolitan lease. Borisjohnson member of the metropolitan lease. Boris johnson cold member of the metropolitan lease. Borisjohnson cold them uncooperative dust market called them uncooperative crusties. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, from bbc london, im asad ahmad. Activists from Animal Rebellion a movement linked to Extinction Rebellion have spent the night occupying smithfield meat market in farringdon. They said they wanted the world famous market to share their vision of a future plant based food system. Protestors held a minutes silence for what they said were animals whose lives are lost at smithfield before selling pla nt based products there. If you want to be a vegetarian, be a vegetarian. Whatever. These are people who need to work, they need to earn a living, they need to have jobs. So its not these people we are targeting at all, we are trying to send a message out to the government. Well Prime Minister borisjohnson has called the protestors uncooperative crusties, while the metropolitan police say theyve made 280 arrests. Yesterday, whitehall, Horse Guards Parade and the mall were among the places in westminster, brought to a standstill. Two bridges were also blocked.

It follows the visit of benny the beluga in the same area exactly a year ago. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. Theres a good service on the tubes this morning. On the roads, the Extinction Rebellion protests means parliament square, whitehall, westminster bridge, the mall, millbank, victoria embankment and the strand all remain closed. Elsewhere, in bermondsey, druid street remains is closed due to a police investigation. And in mitcham cranmer road closed for emergency repairs. Now the weather with kate. Good morning. Its a mild and bright start for many of us this morning. Well see some really decent spells of sunshine throughout the day, but heavy showers to contend with as well. First thing this morning there may be just be a little bit of cloud down towards the south east, but its clearing away quickly. That is the remnants of the nights rain. Plenty of sunshine, this line of heavy showers arrives. You may get a rumble of thunder, some hail mixed into the heavier ones. A westerly, south westerly breeze, quite a brisk one. Those salves will blow through quite quickly. The same scene overnight and in the evening, if you are showers perhaps, but showers out there. A brisk wind pushes them through. The minimum temperature reaches eight celsius. Tomorrow, again, sunny spells, some showers around, quite a gusty, brisk breeze, 16 celsius the maximum. It stays rather unsettled but some sunny spells were never too far away from a shower. Iam back i am back in 30 minutes. Goodbye for now. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with Louise Minchin and dan walker. Our headlines today pressure grows on the Us Government over its refusal to waive immunity for a diplomats wife, who fled the uk after a fatal car crash. Well speak to the family of 19 year old victim harry dunn. The Prime Minister brands Extinction Rebellion protestors uncooperative crusties as he calls on them to stop blocking londons streets. Grammy and Emmy Award Winner, Harry Connickjr will be here to tell us how hes recreating musical classics from the Great American songbook. More help for vic limbs of fraud. To start victims. I look at plans to compensate people. Andy murrays remarkable recovery from injury. The first major appearance in the grand slam in australia. Showers heavy and thundering but running through quickly on a gusty wind. I will have more in 15 minutes. Its tuesday 8th october. Our top story the foreign secretary dominic raab has called on his us counterpart, mike pompeo, to allow a diplomats wife to return to the uk and face Police Questions about a fatal traffic accident. 19 year old harry dunn died in august after his motorbike was hit by a car near raf croughton, in northamptonshire, a military base used by the us air force. The main suspect, named as anne sacoolas, has left the uk and is protected from prosecution by diplomatic immunity. Ben ando reports. A tragedy on this english country road that is spiralling into a diplomatic incident between britain and the united states. 19 year old harry dunn died when his motorbike was struck by a car being driven on the wrong side. Now the foreign secretary, dominic raab, has raised the issue with the us secretary of state, mike pompeo. The car was being driven by anne sacoolas, seen here on her wedding day 16 years ago, the wife of an american diplomat working at this us air base. Two weeks after the crash, she and herfamily moved back to the states, under diplomatic immunity. I would like to think that, as a mum, she would at least try to put herself in our position and just wave the immunity herself and come and see us. I think thats about the only hope we have got. Anne sacoolas is back at home in this neighbourhood near washington, dc. Though diplomats and their families are immune from prosecution, that immunity can be waived. Last year, the husband of a british diplomat in new york was arrested and charged with domestic violence, with the agreement of the government here. Now, say harry dunns family, its time for the us to even that score. Ben ando, bbc news. Further details have emerged of the European Unions objections to british proposals for changes to the irish backstop in the brexit negotiations. A major concern centres on the fact that neither side would introduce checks on the border between Northern Ireland and ireland. Well hear from our correspondent chris page in dublin in a moment but first lets speak to our political correspondent, nick eardley, whos in westminster this morning. What can you tell us about latest developments . There is increasing concern in europe about some of the ideas that borisjohnson put on the table last week. The big one that has been discussed in the last 2a hours in brussels is concerned about the so called stormont veto, the Northern Ireland assembly would have to give its consent to keeping arrangements slightly different to the uk so it stays closer to the European Union. Some are worried there is not enough clarity if they did not give that consent and are worried that plan is not going to work. Back home, borisjohnson is same to the eu, we need to move on with this and get to the nitty gritty and give us more detail about what you do not like. The truth is, these talks are not moving forward in any significant way. They are certainly not moving forward as quickly as the uk was hoping. It is about ten days until the Prime Minister was hoping that a new deal might be signed off that European Council meeting. And the mix briefings we are hearing overnight about some in number 10 starting the blame game for these talks potentially falling apart in the next few days. At the moment it does not look good. It is not over yet, talks are continuing but the signs are not great. Meanwhile, irelands finance minister will unveil a no deal brexit budget today. The plans will outline how irish firms will be kept afloat if the uk leaves the eu in a chaotic manner. Our ireland correspondent, chris page, is in dublin for us this morning. What is the reaction and preparation . The budget are critical in any capital city but this is no ordinary budget day in dublin. Ireland is the most economically exposed to the effects of brexit so ministers here have been working on the assumption that there worse Case Scenario would unfold and that is that the uk would leave the eu without a deal. In those circumstances, about 50 , 000 without a deal. In those circumstances, about 50,000 jobs could be lost and they could be a knock on effect. The government will have to pay out money in welfare. The Business Lobby Group has said that businesses will need more than £1 billion over three years in order to get them through this rocky period. A number of sectors are particularly at risk, farming, food processing, tourism and manufacturing. The finance minister will also have an eye on his domestic electric today because of this is almost certainly to be the last budget before a general election set to be held sometime next year. More than that, he would be hoping a message because out internationally from dublin to other Capital Cities that although ireland does not want a no dear brexit, if thatis does not want a no dear brexit, if that is what happens the country will be ready for it. President trump has defended his decision to pull us troops out of northern syria, but repeated his warning to turkey not to take advantage of the withdrawal. Mr trump said he would decimate its economy, if ankara took actions he considered to be off limits. Turkey says its completed preparations for a possible military operation in northern syria, warning that it could start at any time. Police have arrested 280 people in london, as Environmental Campaign group Extinction Rebellion, begin their latest protest against Climate Change. Key sites in london have been blocked including whitehall, Horse Guards Parade and the mall, with some activists chaining themselves to vehicles and railings. The demonstrations are set to continue for the next two weeks, with protestors calling for urgent Government Action to reduce Carbon Emissions. We will be speaking to one of those protesters in just a few moments. A no deal brexit could send Government Debt to its highest level since the 1960s, a leading Economic Research group has warned. The institute for fiscal studies said borrowing would likely climb to 100 billion pounds and total debt could soar to 90 percent of national income. This means the uk could be borrowing almost as much as the country earns ina year. The treasury says its rules on income and expenditure are under review. Nhs england estimates 55,011 to 16 year olds have gambling problems. The chief executive Simon Stephen says the Health Service should not be left to pick up the pieces from Internet Services and put makers. A flotilla has arrived in new zealand to commemorate 250 years since Captainjames Cook first visited the country. One of the ships is a reproduction of cooks endeavour which set sail from whitby in yorkshire and headed for new zealand in 1769. There have been some maori demonstrations, alongside the celebrations, protesting over the treatment of Indigenous People under colonial rule. When he arrived in hawaii, i think i remember this from a school lesson, he arrived on the day they were celebrating one of the deities and they thought it was him. They thought he was a king. I think he died in hawaii, ithink they thought he was a king. I think he died in hawaii, i think they stabbed him, stoned him and it could him. Gosh stop there you go. Thousands of Climate Change activists around the world are taking part in a two week protest, calling for urgent Government Action to reduce Carbon Emissions. An event in london, organised by Environmental Campaign group Extinction Rebellion caused significant disruption yesterday. Activists set up blockades and some chained themselves to vehicles and railings. Breakfasts tim muffett was there. Snare drum marching the rhythm of london, radically altered. Grievances, gridlock. Theresa is a 61 year old carerfrom scarborough. Scientists have told us unless we change the way were living, were heading for a mass extinction. Its going to be a horror show. What about the disruption you are causing to ordinary people going about their everyday lives . Yeah. We say were very sorry, but its the only way we can make our government pay attention. Were non violent, direct action. We are all using the system that is being given to us. I drive a diesel van, im not proud of it, but its the only way until our government can create better, cheaper public transport, bring out electric cars that are cheap. Youre protesting, and you drive a diesel van . I do. That does seem kind of odd, to be honest. It does seem kind of odd, but i dont have a lot of money, and i cant afford to spend however much it is on an electric car. Hiten normally crisscrosses london in his taxi, not today. What impact is this happening on your likelihood . Well, just sitting in traffic, i think doing nothing, polluting the claimant, even more. Polluting the climate, even more. If you get the emission test around this zone, its going to be high, definitely. Were not moving. Whats your message to the protesters . Plastic bottles, all those things. We are trying to change, but you cant force overnight change, i would say, you know . As with previous protests, this one has celebrity support. None of us would need to be here if governments were doing what they needed to be doing, but theyre not. Many people say there is a level of hypocrisy because a lot of these people will drive cars, they will fly, i mean, youre a successful actor, no doubt you fly, or, do you fly . Ifly when i have to but im trying to reduce flying. What Extinction Rebellion say is its not about, its very important to take personal measures, but there is a huge issue here, what theyre calling for is Government Action. Would you be arrested for this cause . Well i would, but preferably not today, but i would be arrested if i needed to be. Two weeks of protests are planned. It could be that the disruption has only just begun. We spoke to carolyn and claudia who slept overnight here. Lets speak now to Extinction Rebellion campaigner, Emily Grossman whos in Central London. We could see behind you some of the things you are trying to achieve. You have three main demands. Co2 emissions reduced to almost zero in six years time. Do you think that is actually practically achievable . It does not matter whether it is practically achievable, it needs to be achievable. The uk government have really nailed us in bringing down emissions and if we do not get down emissions and if we do not get down to the levels advised by the Paris Agreement and the ipcc, were going be in terrible terrible situation. We need to get down to come in that way before 2050 in order to meet this agreement. When you want the government to declare a climate emergency, the government say they have already done that in may. Absolutely, they are paying lip service to it though. The uk invest more than all the other eu countries in fossilfuels more than all the other eu countries in fossil fuels subsidies and continued to do so. In the past five yea rs continued to do so. In the past five years at £250 billion in offshore fossil fuels, years at £250 billion in offshore fossilfuels, oil and years at £250 billion in offshore fossil fuels, oil and gas. Years at £250 billion in offshore fossilfuels, oil and gas. We have just approved the plans to bring for new all fired. Gas fired turbines ata new all fired. Gas fired turbines at a power station. We are still going ahead with the biggest programme sent world war i. It is also about species loss. 1 million species across the world. We depend on them forfood species across the world. We depend on them for food and livelihood. We are losing the bees that pollinate the plants. We are losing both wa nts, the plants. We are losing both wants, one in five british mammals. Sorry one in four, last year it was one in five. 250 million yea rs year it was one in five. 250 million years since we had levels this high and le sommer happen we had 97 of life on this planet was extinguished so we really need to do something now and the government has been accused of utter hypocrisy. They have failed to meet seven out of their 2a targets to bring down emissions, that was a report made by the Governments Panel of advisers injuly this year so it is really not happening. Howd you bring bringing balance bringing public attention to the disruption you are causing . I know thatis disruption you are causing . I know that is something you and many other campaigners have a lot about, and yet you are causing a number of issues which are really angering people and some people arent listening to the message because of that. Absolutely. We can do is apologise and say look, were sorry we are causing disruption, but if you look at the science, im a scientist, we know if we dont do this that within ten, 20, 30 years time, the disruption we will face here and across the globe will be far greater than anything today. You dont turn off your fire alarm in the middle of the night if you are going to die in the future, that is what were doing. The Prime Minister referred to you and your fellow campaigners as uncooperative crusties with their hemp smelling giveaway acts bivouacs. Well that doesnt at all reflect this group of people. Weve had professors of Climate Change, academics sign our agreements, weve had people from different backgrounds, different education levels, students, older people, we really do represent everybody. If you come down on the streets, you will see people who represent you, we are a load of hippies, of us are as well, but youve got people like myself, people like celebrities saying no, something has to happen and it has to happen now. Our government is letting us down. What about the cost of the disruption . The Police Commissioner said the last demonstration back in april cost £7. 5 million. Absolutely. We know that. But the governor of the bank of england has also said that we are heading forfinancial of england has also said that we are heading for financial instability, and by the time that happens it will be too late. Extreme weather situations are costing billions of billions of pounds across the globe of the time and those extreme weather situations are going to get worse and worse. They are going to be hitting us more and more. Heatwaves a re be hitting us more and more. Heatwaves are going to become 100 times more likely in europe because of Climate Change. We are also heading for a world where insurance agencies are saying were going to become systemically uninsurable. People are going to be losing an awful lot more money in the future. What were doing is reallyjust a drop in the ocean. Thank you very much emily. Emily is a campaigner for Extinction Rebellion. We will also be speaking to a member of the metropolitan police later. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. Good morning. This is typhoon hagibis. Its heading towards the south coast of japan to south wants you by saturday south honshu. Dont be full, it is weakening but it will still be a very strong typhoon. With sustained wind speeds of 103 typhoon. With sustained wind speeds of103 mph, and typhoon. With sustained wind speeds of 103 mph, and wind speeds of up to hundred and 50 miles an hour. It will deposit between 300 and 500 millimetres of rain. It will weaken as it pushes northwards. Japan agency had categorise this as a violent typhoon. If it was a hurricane in the atlantic it would be the equivalent of a category five. Another weather facts for you is whats happening in america. In end of and colorado, on wednesday, tomorrow cosmic temperature will be 26 degrees, on thursday it will be 2 26 degrees, on thursday it will be 2 with snow showers, a drop of 28 degrees as that goes through, introducing a colder plans of our. Weve got neither of those scenarios in the uk. For many of us, we are seeing some beautiful sunrises to start with. Over the next few days, the weather remains unsettled. Its often going to be windy and it is also going to be wet. Whats happening is low pressure continues to dry our weather. We have a strong jet stream at the moment. Heres the low pressure for the next few the isobars alone tell us it is going to be windy, particularly across the north and west. But the wind is coming from the atlantic, so either from the rest of the south west, which means it is coming from a mall direction for us, as indicated by the others. No problems with frost orfog. The others. No problems with frost or fog. Temperatures already in double figures, but you can see as we go through the day the amount of showers they develop. Some of those will be happy and ungarie with somehow blown along on these gusty winds as indicated by the black circles. Temperature wise, if you are out of the wind and the sunshine, we are generally looking at11 sunshine, we are generally looking at 11 17 sunshine, we are generally looking at 11 17 degrees. Roughly where we should be at this time in october. Through this evening and overnight we will still hang onto a lot of showers, some of them being blown quite quickly on a gusty wind. There will also be some clear spells but also not so much wind for frost or fog, its hard to say. Later on, you can see from the isobars it is still going to be a blustery day, not quite as windy as we are looking at today, but still in the north west we will have strong winds. Again, those hours tending to merger times, giving some longer spells of rain. But they are showers, and you know, the nature of showers, some of them will mist them altogether. Temperatures 11 15 degrees. And the outlook after that . It remains u nsettled. Outlook after that . It remains unsettled. When you are going to a forecast, blue and dan, you dont know how hard it is to say frost and fog, all right . Look out for those fast and frogs, ok. Some children in yorkshire are breathing in pollution, equivalent to a packet of cigarettes every week, while on the school run. The results of a study by the university of sheffield, has prompted the former government chief scientific adviser, professor sir david king, to say there needs to be quicker action to replace diesel and petrol cars with electric ones. Luxmy gopal is in sheffield for us this morning. Good morning. Thats right, i am at hunters by roundabout, one of the most congested of parts of sheffield. Hundreds of schoolchildren will be travelling across the roundabout either by car on foot to get to their school behind me. They will be breathing in all these fumes and pollution. Now ina all these fumes and pollution. Now in a study that is the first of its kind, carried out by academics here in sheffield, theyve looked atjust how much air pollution children are facing on the school run. Ready to go . Another day, another school run. And its ready to go . Another day, another school run. And its children, their lungs who are still developing, that are particularly at risk from air pollution and diseases linked to it. Now academics in sheffield have analysed pollution levels on the school run by giving 45 families a monitoring device. Green means good, the other means its quite pollutional, red means bad, and purple means very bad. The study showed children are exposed to polluta nts showed children are exposed to pollutants equivalents of smoking 17. 5 cigarettes a week, thats compared by comparing health statistics. I was really concerned, i spoke about whether i should move house, with my husband. Some are worse than others. We experimented. Three families going to the same school in three different ways to show which has the most exposure to air pollution. Cycling, driving or walking . Time to guess which was worse . Walking cycling walking before the results reveal all. The study so there doesnt mac shows the points study shows the concentration is the highest inside the car. Thats quite surprising. They trap exhaust from cars in front of them, and tunnel them into this toxic box that is the car. The government has let down children in the country and has let them down very badly. Because what we need is to speed up this transition to electric vehicles. The government is working across departments to tackle this really important issue, and dont forget that we are the first government to set net zero emissions by 2050, that is groundbreaking, and our clean air strategy has been termed round breaking by the who. So we are definitely on the right track. See Sheffield City council says it has measures including a clea n says it has measures including a clean zone, investing in green vehicles, and discouraging idling vehicles, and discouraging idling vehicles outside school zones. But for pa rents vehicles outside school zones. But for parents and these children, green and clean air cant come soon enough. I am joined by one of the families featured in that report. How much of a concern is do you . Is air pollution to you . There is a lot of traffic on the road, and it only increases by the time it is to walk down to school. But is also during breaks and lunch time. Not just the drop off. During breaks and lunch time. Not just the dropoff. What about the statistic, it could be as bad as smoking 17. 5 packets of cigarettes a week . I think that they really worrying factor for everybody. Megan, you say your school is doing some things to tackle air pollution . Both the Junior School and Senior School have plans not to plans to reduce pollution. And i like, how bad is it for you when you walk to school . Well, its quite bad because no ones walking to school yet and it gets worse through the day.

The department of International Trade is looking at what happens on the 31st of dover if we live without a deal. What happens to all the tariffs in terms of things they charge for goods that come in and out of the uk. In march they put in place a plan of temporary rules until the big negotiations happen in march. They have clarified three key areas that they are worried about and they want to make sure business can continue as normal. They might seem oddly specific. Reducing tariffs on big trucks entering the uk. It is about buying them. If i am a small haulage firm, primarily from the manufacturer in the eu, it would cost £50,000 more to do that in the old regime. They will lower the tariff. £85,000 and that price will stay steady and that is important for carbon emission. They can cut emissions by buying new trucks. Clothing and this relates to sheep clothing from developing countries. In march they decided to scrap the ta riffs in march they decided to scrap the tariffs on some of these things and that may have put those countries in disadvantage. So they will have preferential access for developing countries so we can have access to cheap textiles. Tariffs on bioethanol, partly useful fuel, cheap textiles. Tariffs on bioethanol, partly usefulfuel, by your diesel. The government describing that as critical to infrastructure. If you delve into the details, it is also used in beer soi the details, it is also used in beer so i would quite rightly agree with them that the stuff used to make beer is Critical National infrastructure site tariffs maintained rather than change.

United are on a really poor run their worst start to a League Season for 30 years and they lost to newcastle on sunday.

How can you see united getting out of this slump . Weve talked about lukaku, letting him go, and sanchez this that and the other. Theres been huge mistakes made. I. After the result at the weekend and their performance, i really do fear for him. It is all getting a little bit sticky. Another manager under pressure is tottenhams mauricio pochettino, and hell be without his captain for the rest of the year.

Glentorans striker Darren Murray was substituted in his sides match against cliftonville, but this season players have to leave the pitch at the nearest point, so they cant waste time. So when murphy didnt do that the referee followed him, and sent him off before he could leave the field. Someone has got in contact that the referee did not do the same for other players as well. They got in contact with me as well. Obviously annoyed. British shot putter, Sophie Mckinna described her experience at the World Championships in doha as the best of her life.

When i saw the distance come up, i put my head in my hands because i could not believe it. Even my coach didnt know how to celebrate it because he was stunned as well. Did you watch other people and think, i might try that. It shotput there is a spin or a glider. I cannot do spin, it makes me too dizzy and disorientated. You pick up and try and add on things.

Originally i was a 100m winter, back in the day. I was never going to be and then asher smith of the country so my mum said to give the shotput a go.

But for some of us it is a lovely day. Our weather watchers have done us proud sending in some beautiful pictures of the sunrise. The forecast is unsettled. Jet strea m the forecast is unsettled. Jet stream is very active, a low pressure area dominating our weather. There will be showers and rain. You can see over the next few days the low pressure is dominating our weather. One look at those isobars, they are close together, that means it is going to be windy, and with gusty winds. Winds are coming in from the atlantic, so that is mild for us. Not a hint of blue, so no frosts in the forecast. We start off in double figures, a mild start. There is some sunshine to start. There is some sunshine to start the day. We do have showers coming our way through the course of the day. As is the way with showers, some of us will mist them all together. If you do because one, it will be blown away quickly on gusty winds as indicated by the black circles. Strongest winds in the north and west of the uk. If you managed to stay out of the window in the showers, it wont feel too bad for this time of year, temperatures more or less bang on. 11 17 degrees. We will still hold onto some of those hours, there could be some of those hours, there could be some thunder and hail as well tonight, that is quite quickly blown from the west towards the eased. Not quite as mild as dots of the day as it is this morning for tomorrow, with all this wind around there arent going to be any issues with fog. Tomorrow, low pressure still dominating our weather, still quite windy as you can see from the isobars, less so in the south. A weather front coming in from the west enhancing those hours. Some of those hours will merge to give longer spells of rain, bowing through quite quickly, a lot of us will mist them and stay dry. Temperatures 11 15 degrees. Thursday and friday, a little bit more uncertain because of weather front is coming our way and their positioning weather fronts. Front is coming our way and their positioning weatherfronts. It will be blustery, but not as windy. Rain coming in across Northern Ireland and scotland, drierfurther south, and temperatures on thursday with less wind around, up to 18 degrees. That sounds nice. The way bank scam victims are compensated needs to become a permanent system, thats what Consumer Group which . . And the uks top seven banks are calling for this morning. Ben is looking at that. Quite a busy day today. This is an interesting one because it relates to Bank Transfer fraud. Interesting one because it relates to Bank Transferfraud. This is where i get a request to send some money to someone who i think is my builder or my phone provider. But it turns out i have sent it to a wrong person, a fraudster. Under the old regime it meant you wouldnt really get your money back because im the one that initiated the transaction. Therefore i am judged to be at fault. But the amount lost last year in those games hit nearly £150 million. 78,215 victims of it last year, its astonishing. Many people feel they have nowhere to turn because they are the ones that started the transfer. This is what happened to vee from essex. When it came to payment details, i was referred to a booking date, they wanted the full payment. I made a Bank Transfer for the full amount. The next morning i hadnt received an e mail, so alarm bells started to ring. Igot an e mail, so alarm bells started to ring. I got up the website, they informed me they hadnt sent me a booking request, so i immediately knew that i had been scammed. I felt sick to my stomach. You know . I had sent money to somewhere, it was awful. You can absolutely understand how she would feel. So for customers like her, this she get her money back . Um, well, up until now, it was hit and miss. Back . Um, well, up until now, it was hitand miss. It back . Um, well, up until now, it was hit and miss. It was a voluntary scheme set up, and the money for it was only here into the end of the year and that money runs out stop which . , the Consumer Group, is calling for the banks to create a compensation pot for people. There isa compensation pot for people. There is a temporary pipe for findings of this type of scam pot, that does run out by the end of year. The banks have proposed organising a 2. 9 p banks have proposed organising a 2. 9 p levy on transactions, which means these people could be reimbursed in these people could be reimbursed in the future. We are encouraging pay uk to encourage this proposal so victims are protected and reimbursed in the future. Now that is the proposal, pay uk, the body that operates the Payment Systems between banks, it said it will decide by the end of the year whether it will comply and create this fund. Some say we should just be more careful, maybe it is our own fault because were the ones who those numbers in. Dsb, one of the bank that has created its own fund and condensates tsb, created its own fund and condensates tsb, who compensate their own customers forfraud tsb, who compensate their own customers for fraud and refund guarantees, but i think it is worthwhile to think olivers take care. worthwhile to think olivers take care. All of us take out. Maybe tra nsfer 5 to care. All of us take out. Maybe transfer 5 to have you have transferred to. Make sure you check, you know, just check a couple of grid . That is a very good idea. Good morning if you havejust grid . That is a very good idea. Good morning if you have just switched grid . That is a very good idea. Good morning if you havejust switched on the telly this morning. The stirling prize will be awarded for the building of the year this evening, and the bookies favourite is rather unusual a small estate of Council Houses in norwich.

So this is it very nice. This is the living room. Weve got the garden, my little girl abigail loves the garden. This little passageway helps to make so many friends. And who is this . This is the dog, rusty. I would never have imagined the council could have put through Something Like this. Have a look at how thick these walls are. These are designed to be low energy. You arent even allowed a letterbox in the door in case it let out heat. And they also made the most of the weather. One thing about it is, its pretty sunny, and there is a reason, they have designed it that way. Because the roof is our kind of really flat, which means even in the dark days of winter, even on december 21, if there is some sunshine, it will be coming down here and hitting the bottom of the window. Another key feature is this. This to me is a snicker. Coming from scarborough, its a snicker. We call ita scarborough, its a snicker. We call it a gennel. Scarborough, its a snicker. We call it a gennel. These were the 12 story blocks of clouds, the first of britain cosmic skyscrapers. Flats. Britains skyscrapers. For a long time, flats have been seen as the most effective way to make use of space efficiently. But these architects wanted to focus on sociability. I think we have a problem with a lack of social connectedness. This housing is thinking a lot about how we can encourage social connections, people meeting each other. encourage social connections, people meeting each other.

Further details have emerged of the European Unions objections to british proposals for changes to the irish backstop in the brexit negotiations. A major concern centres on the fact that neither side would introduce checks on the border between Northern Ireland and ireland. Lets speak now to our political correspondent, nick eardley, whos in westminster this morning. Good morning. This has been the area of concern from whichever side you look at it for quite some time . Yes, thatis look at it for quite some time . Yes, that is right. Borisjohnson put new proposals on the table last week, the European Union has been looking at them at an official level and they are not convinced. Real concerns about the idea that the Northern Ireland assembly would have to approve the plans every four yea rs or to approve the plans every four years or so and i worry that would essentially give a veto to the assembly and to the dup, meaning it is not clear what would happen if they do not endorse what was on the table. Likewise, back at home there is an explosive briefing in the spectator overnight published by the political editorjames forsyth, suggesting some in downing street andi suggesting some in downing street and i think talks with europe will break down in the next few days and they will try and blame europe for that. It does not suggest things are going well. Number ten was really hoping this week progress would be made, there would be some sort of suggestion ideal could be done. At the moment that is not the case and it is looking good. Nick, good to talk to you. Nick, good to talk to you. The government has updated its plans for tariffs on goods and services, if the uk leave the eu without a deal. The plans cover clothing, fuel and vehicles that the government says would mean lower prices in the shops. The temporary regime will last for 12 months after brexit until a new, longer term plan can be agreed. President trump has defended his decision to pull us troops out of northern syria, but repeated his warning to turkey not to take advantage of the withdrawal. Mr trump said he would decimate its economy if ankara took actions he considered to be off limits. Turkey says its completed preparations for a possible military operation in northern syria, warning that it could start at any time. Police have arrested 280 people in london, as Environmental Campaign group Extinction Rebellion begin their latest protest against Climate Change. Key sites in london have been blocked including Horse Guards Parade and the mall, with some activists chaining themselves to vehicles and railings. Brea kfasts tim muffett is at whitehall for us this morning. Good morning, tame. Are they planning to stay where they are . Yes, they are indeed for the time being. Uncooperative crusties was the way the Prime Minister described protesters at an event last night. Many of them have spent the night close to where he is, downing street, behind me. You can see all these tents along quite well. Yesterday there were 280 arrests and huge parts of london were blocked off from lambeth bridge down to whitehall and the strand. The disruption was large. Extinction rebellion say they want to see zero Carbon Emissions in the uk by 2025. They would like to see a Citizens Assembly set up to bring that about. Many people say those ideas are unrealistic. The group has promised 13 more days of disruption so for the next fortnight it would seem sites like this will be pretty familiar in london. We are hoping to speak to the metropolitan police later. How much do you know about the provisions . The police have been talking to protesters and so far it has been pretty peaceful. I was talking to many people yesterday and although there were arrests, many of the protests were peaceful in their nature. The people here are determined to make their presence felt and they apologise for the disruption they are causing, but they believe the point they are making is worth the disruption and the short term pain many will feel is worth it to get across the long term message, which they believe more people should be paying attention to. We are hoping to speak to the police a little bit later. Thank you. The institute for fiscal studies said borrowing would likely climb to £100 billion if there was no deal brexit, and total debt could soar to 90 of national income, which means the uk could be borrowing almost as much as the country earns in a year.

The daily mail leads with the headline, face justice for my son. They are calling on the wife of a us diplomat to return to the uk to answer questions about the death of their son.

That is also a picture of Extinction Rebellion in london yesterday. That picture has been around a lot. Sally was talking yesterday about the longstaff brothers. This is on the back of daily mail. This is sean and matty. He scored on his debut for newcastle against Manchester United. A lot of newcastle fans delighted. Sheer delight for what it means to score on your debut for your club. That is an adorable little picture. That is an adorable little picture. That is an adorable little picture. That is cute. I am sure they have been celebrating. Newcastle and Manchester United in a spot of bother in the premier league. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. And you are starting with a typhoon . Yes, we think this typhoon will head towards the south coast of japan. It has been categorised as a violent typhoon. If this was a hurricane in the atlantic, it would be category five. Typhoons, hurricanes and cyclones a re five. Typhoons, hurricanes and cyclones are the same beasts, but they are called Different Things in different parts of the world. The sequence goes in a loop. You can see the kind of direction it is taken, pushing towards the south coast of japan by saturday we reckon. By that time it will have weakened a little bit, but it will still be packing a punch and it will have sustained wind speeds of 103 miles an hour and gusts up to 150 miles an hour and between 300 and 500 millimetres of rainfall. It will continue to weaken as it pushes northwards. That track could change, but that is the current thinking on where we expect it to be. For ourselves back at home, we have had some beautiful weather watchers pictures in this morning of the sunrise. For the next few days we will see sunshine, but it will remain unsettled, often windy and wet with rain and showers. That is because we have an active jet stream and a potent area of low pressure with as for the next few days. Because the isobars are tightly packed it means it will be windy, the strongest winds in the north and the west of the uk. It is coming in from the atlantic, which isa mild coming in from the atlantic, which is a mild direction for us, as indicated by the yellow. No issues this week with frost. This morning it isa this week with frost. This morning it is a mild start to the day and there is sunshine. But heavy showers in scotland and some are quite thundery at the moment. As we go through the day more of us will see those showers and blown along on gusty winds. Some of them will have hailand gusty winds. Some of them will have hail and thunder embedded in them and it will be gusty around the showers. If you manage to stay out of them and you are in the sunshine, out of the wind temperature is 1117, out of the wind temperature is 11 17, more or less where we should be in october. Overnight we hang on toa be in october. Overnight we hang on to a lot of the showers, still those gusty winds with clear skies. If anything, temperatures a bit lower than this morning. Tomorrow morning we will be starting at 8 10. Tomorrow low pressure is still very much driving our weather and you can still see all those isobars, more tightly packed in the north, but blustery in the south. We are looking at a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. The very nature of showers means you could miss them all together and have a dry day. Temperatures 11 in the north to 15 in the south. For thursday and friday there is an element of uncertainty in the forecast because of the weather front and the positioning of it. You can still see the low pressure with us, but it will come in from the west and it will bring rain and across Northern Ireland and scotland and northern england. So in the north it will be brighter with some sunshine, but that could change. Temperatures between 10 18. Its a pain no parent wants to experience and the family of harry dunn, who was killed when his motorbike collided with a car in august, say their lives have been left in tatters by his death. Now they want closure and are pleading with the wife of a us diplomat, who is a suspect, to return to the uk to face a police investigation, after she fled to the states, protected by diplomatic immunity. Harrys mum Charlotte Charles, and his dad tim dunn, join us now from west london. Thank you so much forjoining us and talking to us about this. I want to know, charlotte, we know the Prime Minister and the foreign secretary have urged the us to reconsider their position. Have you got any indication that things are changing . We feel really the fact Boris Johnson has now spoken up that we are getting somewhere. Whether things are really changing yet, wed like to think so, we would like to be hopeful enough to think that is the case. But we are just going to keep pushing until we definitely know that that is happening. We know it is very unusual for the us to waive diplomatic immunity, but are you also feeling a bit more optimistic now . Yes, i am. Like charlotte said, with borisjohnson coming out and saying what he said yesterday, it was nice to feel we we re yesterday, it was nice to feel we were getting the support we have been trying to get and maybe President Trump we look at this. Been trying to get and maybe President Trump we look at thism you could talk to the president himself, what kind of message would you send him . I wouldjust ask himself, what kind of message would you send him . I would just ask him to think about us as a family and about the way the immunity is set up to protect a diplomat from danger and not the way it is being used to whisker away someone after she has caused an accident. I would ask him to look at it logically and the way they have used it we do not think is right. Charlotte, have you had any contact at all from the family . Nothing, absolutely nothing. I think thatis nothing, absolutely nothing. I think that is one of the hardest things we are having to deal with because now we have got a name and a face and still nothing. It just we have got a name and a face and still nothing. Itjust seems inhumane. It just doesnt still nothing. Itjust seems inhumane. Itjust doesnt feel right. As a mother myself and many other people who have come forward with support for us all the way around the world now, even more support from the usa over the last 24 support from the usa over the last 2a hours, itjust. It is really distressing not to have any word from her being a mother herself. Yes, i cant get my head around it. It doesnt sit well with me. You talk about the response from people around the world. This is such a tough time for you, does that in any way help you through this . tough time for you, does that in any way help you through this . I think help is a strong word for it. We feel very supported and we are extremely grateful. We have had many, extremely grateful. We have had any extremely grateful. We have had many, many words of comfort, but nothing is going to really help us. Charlotte, we havejust lost you. We cannot start to grieve. It is very difficult. I am so sorry, we have just lost you, but i will carry on talking to you. Also from the Embassy Point of view have they been in touch with you . Have they sent anything to either of you . They sent usa anything to either of you . They sent us a letter dated the 17th of september. It was a good few weeks after we had lost harry. That letter seemed to coincide with 48 hours earlier that harrys second dad, stepdad, is a us citizen himself. We had absolutely nothing prior to that point. That seemed to prompt a letter from woodyjohnson, point. That seemed to prompt a letter from woody johnson, but point. That seemed to prompt a letter from woodyjohnson, but apart from that we have had absolutely nothing. We have had nothing from the raf base at croton, we have had nothing from the mod. We were just left to try and deal with the fact that we had lost harry and that we we re that we had lost harry and that we were expected to get on with it. But it is not right. Something does not sit quite right. The feeling in the pit of our stomachs tells us this cannot be right, hence why we are doing what we are doing. She has in some ways a choice, doesnt she . She could make a choice to come back to the uk, tim, would you urge her to do that . We would like to think so. We think she must have had a choice, she is her own person. She must know what is going on now. She must deep down in her heart realise coming back would be the right thing to do. I have heard it said that you have considered at least going to america yourself. Is that something you still might consider . Yes, we talked about it this morning. We feel may be we might have to go as far as that if we do not get the answers from the government and the Foreign Commonwealth Office soon. This has had such a devastating impact on yourfamily, the had such a devastating impact on your family, the fact you are having to fight and work so hard to find the answers to what happened, what does that mean for you, charlotte . Pain day and night. You want to grieve, you desperately want to grieve. The whole family desperately wa nts to grieve. The whole family desperately wants to grieve. But we cant. Every isa wants to grieve. But we cant. Every is a battle, every day is more of a battle tha n is a battle, every day is more of a battle than we feel it should be. We are having to go to bed at night with a new plan for the next morning to give as a purpose to up in the morning, to be able to look after his twin. He has lost his partner in crime, he has lost his twin ship. It has really robbed us of being able to be where we should be, which is six weeks into grieving in some kind of way. We still only feel like it happened yesterday, two days ago, because we are stuck with what should have been a clear cut case. It is so far from it. I know you have talked a little bit about what harry was like and he would have wa nted harry was like and he would have wanted to know the answers, witty, tim . Absolutely. That is one thing harry was, we have talked about his fun loving nature and his caring side, but he hated anything not being correct. He didnt like anything that was underhand. He was always one for the truth and making sure everything was done right, that was one of his traits, yes. Charlotte, how do you best remember him . A cheeky smile, big bear hugs. He would always know when you needed that extra bit of comfort if you had had a bad day at work. And obviously his passion for riding. Every time you saw him he either had barely any clothes on if he was in the house, and when he was dressed it was just in biker gear. He barely went out without his motorbike. He lived to write. He worked hard five or six days a week to be able to have his passion for riding and his passion was so strong. A lot of that passion came out in his bighearted nature as well. We really admired that. We loved that. We really miss him. Thank you so much for talking so beautifully about your son as well. Best of luck. Thank you. Thank you. Very powerful words, the parents of harry dunn this morning. Lets bring you some other news today. Lets bring you some other news today. The metropolitan poice say its response to Climate Change demonstrations in london will be robust, after 280 people were arrested during protests organised by Environmental Campaign group Extinction Rebellion. Last april, more than 1,000 protesters were arrested, after similar events brought some parts of the city to a standstill. The Deputy Assistant commissioner of the metroplitan police, laurence taylor, joins us now from Central London. Thank you for being with us and good morning. I know you were listening to that last interview as well and it is heartbreaking what the families are going through, but on to other matters. In terms of trying to other matters. In terms of trying to get london to work, how are you facing the challenge with the extension rebellion protesters on the streets of the capital . Good morning. We have got a very robust please action plan in place and we have arrested over 320 people. That isa have arrested over 320 people. That is a fifth in day one compared to the numbers we arrested in april. We are anticipating more protests today and we have large numbers of Police Officers coming into Central London to help us manage the disruption. We have got a number of tense inroads and we have found that people have glued themselves within the tents and they have locked themselves to the tense and it will make ourjob more challenging and take time to clear some of the disruption we are facing today. Back in july, Richard Walton said the police should invest a soft touch approach to extension rebellion rather than coming down ha rd rebellion rather than coming down hard on them. It is a really fine balance from your perspective in terms of getting that action and the assertive nature of your pleasing right, and yet not going over the line. That is right. The pleasing responsibility is to provide that balanced approach. What is important is that whilst protest is a fundamental human right, that does not give you the right to disrupt other peoples lives to the extent they are. Peoples livelihoods are being damaged, we had over 50 bus routes cancelled yesterday and i know stories of people struggling to get to work. It is important the protesters u ndersta nd get to work. It is important the protesters understand that impact. Today we have put conditions on the protest under the public order act where people can only lawfully protest at Trafalgar Square on the pedestrianised area off the road. Anybody else protesting in the westminster area linked to extension rebellion are committing an offence and they will be arrested. Do you feel you are in control of these protests . Feel you are in control of these protests . These things do take time and we have got a robust policing approach. We have arrested an awful lot of people. Once you arrest people you have to take them through custody and that takes a long time. The protesters we are arresting are being advised not to help us and not to provide their details, which is taking longer to process through custody. As we take peace officers off the streets, there is fewer that we have to make those arrests. We have gone to other forces. We have asked for additional assistance for officers to come to the capital to help us, but it is very disruptive and frankly Police Officers should not be sucked into london, we should be policing the rest of london and doing all the things we ought to be doing. You talk about the arrests in april and there were more than 800 charges, but how many were convicted . At the moment they are still proceeding through court and over 250 people have received a criminal record and they have been convicted through court. Of those 880 plus charges they are still progressing and we expect that number to go progressing and we expect that numberto go up. Progressing and we expect that number to go up. In terms of the challenges you face as a police force, iam not challenges you face as a police force, i am not asking you to give us an arbitrary number, but where does this rate in terms of the extension rebellion protest . M does this rate in terms of the extension rebellion protest . It is a really challenging thing to the police. We have to provide that balance, but it sucks in an awful lot of resource which should and could be policing other communities in london. It causes a huge disruption to people and it is affecting peoples livelihoods and it costs a lot of money. The protests in april cost over £16 million and people need to understand the impact this has. They have to protest responsibly. Go to Trafalgar Square, stop disrupting the roads and allow us to carry on pleasing the capital. Lawrence taylor, from the met police, talking about extension rebellion protesters who are in london and will be there for the next few days. Now the news, travel and weather where you are. More showers forecast not only today that over the next few days. Staying pretty unsettled, some sunshine in between showers but some fairly gusty winds.

A scattering of showers elsewhere, particularly for Northern Ireland and scotland, where there will be strong winds for all others but particularly in the west of scotland.

This evening and tonight is first band of showers clears away, more than coming to mainly northern and Western Areas and we will run the clock right throughout wednesday, most any spells and showers, quite blustery conditions and a bit cherry than today.
