Translation my stomach was in knots. But now im feeling better. Im very happy that eliud has broken this record. There have been violent clashes in North Eastern syria, as Turkish Military continue their offensive against kurdish forces. Never mind, ill find someone like you. Coming up was this song from the biggest album of the 21st century . Coming up in half an hour the best of this weeks exclusive interviews from the Victoria Derbyshire programme. One of the biggest storms to hitjapan in decades typhoon hagibis is causing damage and disruption with heavy rain and high winds. Damage and disruption the eye of typhoon hagibis made landfall shortly before seven oclock local time. It is now moving up the eastern coast, with wind speeds of up to 140 miles per hour. One man was killed when his car overturned, several more people are missing after a landslide destroyed two homes. At least 60 people have been injured. Rivers are overflowing in tokyo, where hundreds of thousands of people are vulnerable because they live below sea level. Our correspondent Rupert Wingfield hayes sent this report. Were getting very, very big gusts of wind here now in the middle of tokyo. This is really the peak of the storm now, the winds have not been quite as strong as was feared when this storm was moving towards the japanese coast earlier today. There are very strong gusts, but not so far here in the middle of tokyo the destructive winds that you know, that can come with such an enormous storm, but nevertheless, i can tell you the streets around me here are completely deserted. The odd taxi driving down the streets, but not a person in the streets. Incredibly deserted, eerily quiet in the middle of what is usually a very bustling city on a saturday night. What we have seen is an immense amount of rain falling over the last 12 18 hours, record amounts of rain in some areas, around mount fuji, where they saw around 500 millimetres of rain since friday. That has swollen rivers across the east coast of japan, and the three rivers around tokyo now are on a level five state of alert. That means that People Living along the rivers have been told to evacuate. That means tens of thousands of people have been told to go to shelters, to leave their homes because it is not clear whether these rivers are going to burst their banks tonight. Joining me now is phil avery from the bbc weather centre. Welcome. Tell us about where the typhoon is at now . Well, as we heard, it has been closing in on japan in the past few hours or so. It was a pretty strong beast, the strongest, as we have heard, in decades. As it came ashore, the one good thing is that the winds tend to wea ken good thing is that the winds tend to weaken pretty rapidly. Japan is quite a mountainous area and so the winds ease off and the latest i have from the Japanese Meteorological Agency is that the maximum sustained wind is around 80 mph, so we are not talking about a puff of wind already but the gusts are still in excess of 100 mph. The rainfall has been pretty extraordinary, as you can well imagine. We are looking at a roundabout, i think the max i saw was about 9112 millimetres in 2a hours. It has been pretty wet in places here today, we havent seen a metre, that is for sure you mentioned in your introduction it has been the most powerful for decades. We go back in fact to 1959, where typhoon vera came ashore as a much more powerful beast. When it was over open waters, it had winds in excess of 300 kilometres miles per kilometres per hour, over 90 mph. Now we have betterforecasting capabilities developed in the last few years. 5,000 people were killed by that storm when it came ashore backin by that storm when it came ashore back in the late 1950s. If you want to see where we are going over the next few hours. The graphics have run on to show you that, but it looks as though this is going to move away really quite quickly. It is moving north east as we speak at around 45 kilometres an hour, it is not hanging around, and as you see, it moves pretty rapidly but whilst it moves pretty rapidly but whilst it is around, we still have that strength of wind, 60 or 70 mph gust of wind, even though it is weakening all the while. The central pressure has come up quite markedly. I am noting that thej ma are saying some locations through the 13th, and we arejust locations through the 13th, and we are just getting up to midnight locations through the 13th, and we arejust getting up to midnight in japan as we speak, are looking at 250 millimetres rain further to come. So you have been running pictures of flooding, not surprisingly given the amounts of rain and it may be that we see further issues to come. Briefly, increasingly when we are seeing this extreme weather in different parts of the world, we are wondering whether it is a link with Climate Change. What is your view on this typhoon . Well, if we had sat here in 1959 we wouldnt have mentioned Climate Change but given what we have seen in the atlantic, the caribbean in the last couple of yea rs, caribbean in the last couple of years, a warmer atmosphere is very much inclined to produce these very much inclined to produce these very much more powerful storms. As a one off, i cant say this is Climate Change. Clever minds were think about that in the months and years to come. Clever reminds will think. Earlier, i spoke to mark stevenson, a scotland rugby fan in yokohama. Hes waiting to hear if the teams scheduled match with japan will go ahead on sunday. I asked him if he was frustrated by the weather. I think at the moment, the real concern is the flooding. We have just had the storm passed us, it is all quite calm in yokohama right now, people are back on the streets and we dont seem to have had the disruptive wins here. We are right in the city, the stadium is a little bit further out so we dont know quite what is going to happen tomorrow. We dont know if the game is going to go ahead yet. Speak about what warnings have you been given or advice in the accommodation you are staying in . We have been advised to staying in . We have been advised to stay on, stock up on water and food, stay on, stock up on water and food, stay indoors while the storm passes through and we were also given evacuation details from the hotel in the event that we had to get out quickly, but, fortunately, you know, we dont seem to have been that are affected by it. As i said, it now appears to have passed anyway so hopefully we are in for a bit of a quiet night now. We will see. Hopefully, fingers crossed, the worst is over and done with what we re worst is over and done with what were you concerned at all, were you tempted to leave the area . No, not really, everyone was telling us they are kind of geared up for these sorts of things and just stay inside and follow the advice that is being given out that everyone should be safe and it certainly seems that way. We have got friends who have decided not to come to yokohama and a couple of other places for safety and then the opposite, when people have come to yokohama earlyjust in case the game goes ahead. All of the advice was good following the official feeds on social media and so official feeds on social media and so on, they are all giving good advice and it is just stay indoors through the worst of it and you will be fine. As far as the scotland japan game goes, it is a crucial game for scotland. A lot of fans are frustrated, at least not the teams themselves, because if the matches called off, that is for them. Yes. To get to the situation, i think world rug by to get to the situation, i think world rugby have a lot of questions to answer. We are frustrated as fans but absolutely the Scottish Team are frustrated. I dont think any world cup should end, any teams world cup should end by the game being cancelled and missing out on the play offs. It is not a good situation at all and i am sure questions will be asked. Even the fa ct questions will be asked. Even the fact that the new zealand game is cancelled and not replayed, there will be a lot of questions to answer. The kenyan athlete Eliud Kipchoge has become the first person to run a marathon in under two hours. The 34 year old covered the 26. 2 miles course in one hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds. However his time wont be recognised as an official record as it wasnt in open competition and he followed a team of pacemakers. Ade adedoyin reports. 15 seconds. Eliud kipchoge came to vienna with his sights set on one thing. Running the quickest marathon ever. And from the word go, he was on track and well ahead of pace. The Detailed Planning was paying off. Some 41 pacemakers have employed been employed by the organisation to been employed by the organisation to be part of this challenge and every time they go past this point at the finishing line, they rotate. It is one of the many steps taken by the organisers to make sure kipchoge ducks under that two hour mark. Special shoes propelled the kenyan further forward with each pace. Theyd calculated the optimum course and westher, taking into his account his biorhythms and even projected a laser onto the road. But all of this means it cant be ratified as a world record by athletics world governing body. Hes pointing. Come on, he says. As the finish approached, the pacemakers stepped away and kipchoge strode into history. Into the final 20 seconds. Eliud kipchoge looks over his shoulder. 1 59 40 the unofficial time im the happiest man to run under two hours. You know, that to inspire many people, to tell people that no human is limited, you can do it, im expect more of that, all of the world to run under two hours. Already a great athlete with world and olympic titles, kipchoge will now be remembered forever. Ade adedoyin, bbc news, vienna. Thousands crowded to watch kipchoges race on big screens in his home town of eldoret in kenya. The biggest cheers, of course, came from his mums house. And she shared herjoy and relief. Translation my stomach was in knots. But now im feeling better. Im very happy that eliud has broken this record. Back in vienna, kipchoges coach, patrick sang, summed up the athletes achievement. A special moment for the sport, for eliud, for the people behind him, including me, and its we got a wonderful performance, wonderfulfeelings, we are going to go home a very happy lot. With pacemakers or not pacemakera, the distance was for the two kilometres, the full marathon. The legacy of the whole experience is that its telling us the message that we can take home is that no human is limited, that whatever we have been doing and thinking that this is the limit, the limit now is going to change, for everybody, for every human being at their work stations, you know, whatever sector you are in. People are going to think positive, people are going to set their limits a bit higher than what they had before. 0ur correspondent Celestine Karoney is in eldoret where eliud lives. To watch it in his home village, some 300 kilometres from the capital nairobi, iwatched it with the people who had a deep connection with eliud. His mother, his brother, his childhood friends, nieces, nephews, neighbours, and to see the emotions that was going through their faces as eliud went they watched each and every step as he went closer to that record, and for each and every one of them you could see the emotions as they questioned themselves, will he, will he not . You know, and it was really exciting to watch them at the end of their celebrating, in fact as eliud lifted his hands when he noticed yes, he could run under two hours, the celebrations had long begun in his mothers house. It was a really quite, it was quite a moment, it was one of those where were you kind of moments in life, and i think for many of those who were there today, especially in his village, they got that message that eliud has been trying to pass of no human is limited. When we spoke to them afterwards, all of them shared that message of, yes, they adored they were impressed by what he did and they were also inspired by what he did. This is what some of them had to say after the race. Its good, and i think it if really someone wants to go for what she really wants, you can really do that, if you really believe in yourself and trust in yourself. No human is limited to his abilities. This is history to be made. We are happy. He has told us he will do it, and that is why we love him. We come last night waiting for this record to happen and it has happened finally. Everybody in his village says eliud has been the kind of very disciplined person. In fact i asked his mother what kind of a child was he growing up . She said this was someone who was always listening, disciplined, obedient. Everybody has something good to say about him. I guess it shows even in his athletics, you know, everywhere he goes, everything he does, he seems to touch people in a very positive way, and that is exactly what the message that the people in his village were passing through today, so, i guess its something that they will keep celebrating, they keep celebrating. Many of them, just for the record, did not really understand that this will not be an official world record, but when i asked, many of them said listen, we have made history, that is all we care about. The headlines on bbc news. Typhoon hagibis makes landfall in Japan Bringing torrential rain and strong winds millions of people have been urged to leave their homes. The kenyan athlete Eliud Kipchoge makes history after becoming the first person to run a marathon in under two hours. Theres been fierce fighting in North Eastern syria, as Turkish Military continue their offensive against kurdish forces. And in sport, at the rugby world cup, ireland have booked their place in the quarterfinals. They scored seven tries in a 47 5 bonus point win against samoa. Republic of ireland had drawn 0 0 against georgia in the euro 2020 qualifying game. They remain top of the group but denmark could move above them when they play later. And andy flower is to leave the england and Wales Cricket board after 12 years. England and Wales Cricket board after 12 yea rs. Flower england and Wales Cricket board after 12 years. Flower was head coach when england won three ashes series, the world 2020 and were number one in the test rankings. Details on those stories and a lot more at around 5 30pm. Turkish forces have continued to strike targets in North Eastern syria on the fourth day of their offensive against kurdish militias. Pressure is building in the United States to stop turkey continuing its military operation. Kurdish Authorities Say more than 190,000 people have been displaced as result of the turkish incursion, triggered by president trumps decision to withdraw us troops. Turkey says it wants to create a 20 mile deep buffer zone across the Syrian Border what it calls a safe zone free of kurdish militias. From akcakale on the turkish side of the border, our middle east correspondent martin patience sent this report. Despite the growing international pressure, turkeys not backing down. At the border, the build up continues. As turkey claims its taking control of a key syrian town. This pro turkish fighter says theyve just entered ras al ain. Almost immediately, theres incoming fire from kurdish fighters. Tens of thousands of civilians from the town have already fled. Some are now sheltering in this school. How do you explain it to a child . There was shelling, says this man. I had to flee my house in the middle of the night. We didnt know where to go. We walked about six miles. And im sick and i dont have any medicine. But turkeys president says his fight is not against the kurdish people. Translation the west and the us all together say to us you are killing the kurds. The kurds are our brothers and sisters, our fight is not against the kurds, it is against terrorist organisations. Driven from their homes by the fighting, thats not how these people feel. Martin patience reporting, and i spoke to martin from akcakale a short while ago. Well, clearly, the Turkish Military are making advances. Weve seen in another town about 18 miles from where im standing, ras al ain, there has been fierce clashes there throughout the day, but Turkish Forces are inside that city. There was a claim by the turkish government that they had in fact taken that town. I saw a video from fighters inside that town and they almost immediately, as we saw in the report, came underfire, so that is disputed by the kurds. But we also know, according to local reports, the pro Turkish Forces have pushed about 20 miles deep into syria. Now, that is the limit of this proposed safe zone that turkey says its going to set up. But, significantly, there is a key highway there and Turkish Forces are now at that highway and, presumably, in the coming days, they will be looking to secure that. So i think today, there has been significant military developments. Martin, what about diplomatic developments . Theres been a meeting of the arab league in cairo, they condemned this as an act of aggression. Whats your sense from where any diplomatic solution, if any, could come to resolve this situation . I think theres only one man that president erdogan, the turkish leader, is listening to, and thats donald trump. He got the green light, effectively, from donald trump to carry out this offensive in a tweet late on sunday night. Now, donald trump, frankly, has been all over the shop on this issue. Hes condemned this turkish offensive, saying that he might place sanctions against the country. We dont know whether or not those sanctions are going to come into force. Thats certainly something the us congress wants. But i think what we will see over the coming days is increased pressure on donald trump from his own side to act and if he is going to enforce sanctions, then i think turkey may well change its tune, but, for now, president erdogan says this offensive will continue. He is determined to meet his objectives. The bbc understands that a proposed law designed to increase Legal Protections for uk veterans who served in Northern Ireland has been dropped from the queens speech on monday. A former head of the army, lord dannatt, told the bbc that the move was very disappointing. In july, Boris Johnson had promised that he would stop soldiers facing prosecution over historic allegations. Theres a warning that parents chatter at the school gates has become a breeding ground for harmful myths about the safety of vaccinations against conditions like measles. Nhs england chief executive Simon Stevens has spoken out after the latest figures showed a rise in the number of measles cases and fall in the take up of all routine jabs for under fives in the last year. Simonjones has more. The jab against measles, mumps and rubella is, in the words of nhs englands chief executive, simple and free and it can save lives. But Simon Stevens is worried. What are the points you think people need to learn from your experience . The percentage of children receiving the first dose of the vaccine is down for the fifth year in a row in england. He says parents looking for Information Online are often being confronted by fake news. Writing in the daily mail, he warns. The Prime Minister recently echoed his concern. Im afraid people have just been listening to that superstitious mumbojumbo on the internet, that anti vax stuff, and thinking that the mmr vaccine is a bad idea. Thats wrong. Here at the department of health, there has been much discussion about what should be done to increase vaccination rates. The health secretary, matt hancock, recently said he was seriously considering making vaccinations compulsory for schoolchildren in england but some in the medical profession warned that could make parents suspicious. Simon stevens acknowledges there has been a lively debate on the issue, though he stopped short of saying whether he believes vaccinations should be mandatory. He does, though, pledge that the nhs will make it easier for parents to get their children vaccinated and he has welcomed a commitment by social media firms to counter misInformation Online. The government is planning to change the law to reduce disruption to passengers when an airline goes into administration. The announcement, due in the queens speech on monday, follows the collapse of monarch and thomas cook which triggered huge repatriation operations. Our business correspondent, katy prescott, has more. When thomas cook and monarch went under, the airline regulator, the Civil Aviation authority, had to cobble together aeroplanes from around the world to bring stranded holiday makers home. Even though many passengers were not covered by the industrys atol scheme, a decision was taken to repatriate them to avoid people facing long waits to get back. In effect, they built a shadow airline recreating travel schedules out of other companys transport operations costing more than £100 million. This new legislation will allow the caa to use an airlines existing infrastructure, current planes and members of staff, aomething that hasnt previously been possible due to the uks insolvency laws. Keeping the fleet flying is one of the recommendations from the review into Airline Insolvency which came out in may this year, following that monarch collapse. It looked into the protections available to air passengers. The hope is this will reduce the need for Government Intervention and spending in any future cases. Katie prescott, bbc news. To Mark National album day, bbc radio 2 have revealed the list of the 21st centurys biggest chart albums. Complied by the official charts company, the chart is based on physical sales, downloads and streams since the beginning of the century. Earlier, i spoke to radio 2s Paul Gambaccini who said the album still had its place in the modern music industry. Used to be that artists light to to present a complete programme, a work of art like present a complete programme, a work ofartlikea present a complete programme, a work of art like a concert programme, on disk and that she would have been concerned with the running order. Nowadays, thanks to the many conveniences we have, people like to listen on demand to the songs they wa nt to listen on demand to the songs they want to hear and they dont have the patience to listen to a 40 minute programme. Thus works like abbey road, which we havejust programme. Thus works like abbey road, which we have just celebrated in the last fortnight, seem like classical music. How could people have done this . Well, of course, it was the way people used to do it but the last man that does this, presents the work in the order which may want to markedly due to hear it is cold pie, perhaps radiohead as well. That is it, the way musicians wa nted well. That is it, the way musicians wanted to work, rather than a short piece of music. Lets have a look at some of the ones in the top ten. Im in love with your body. Im in love with your body. Baby, your smiles baby, your Smiles Forever in my mind and memory. Let go of all of our goals let go of all of our goals we let go of all of our goals we both aint kids no more. We both aint kids no more. We we both aint kids no more. We only say goodbye with words we only say goodbye with words i died we only say goodbye with words idieda we only say goodbye with words i died a hundred times i died a hundred times you go back to her you go back to her and you go back to her andl you go back to her and i go you go back to her and i go back to and i go back to never mind, ill find someone like you i wish nothing but best i wish nothing but best for you, too for you, too dont forget me dont forget me i rememberyou said i rememberyou said sometimes at last in love but sometimes it hurts instead. All amazing songs, i resisted singing along, i dont want to hurt your ears. And on all britain top three. Does that surprise you . Considering they hadnt been invented when the lp came out, they can be very happy. What do you see as the future for the lp now . If i knew, i would as the future for the lp now . If i knew, iwould be as the future for the lp now . If i knew, i would be a billionaire next year because there will still be some artists who want to present a statement on how to get people to listen in longform. Just because we have now reached streaming doesnt mean this is the end. I mentioned before, so many different phases weve been through and it could be dental implants, who knows how we are going to listen . Nonetheless, you do need these great albums because you have seen her ed sheeran and adele have just been taken to the hearts of the world. Now time for a look at the weather with phil avery. Hello. The weather has failed to sparkle, to say the least, across the southern half of britain through saturday, butjust inch away a bit further north, northern wales, the north of england, much of scotland and Northern Ireland, a lot of bright weather around. Yes, there have been some showers across northern and western scotland, the odd one into Northern Ireland, and that is how we will continue on through the first part of the night. Later in the night the skies may clear sufficiently across the north east of scotland for there to be a touch of frost, but under the cloud and rain across much of england and wales it is going to be a relatively mild night, but a dank old start to sunday. It may be dry for a time in the south east and parts of east anglia, but dont bank on that lasting, because part of that rain is going to work ever further east, as another portion of the weather front works up into the north of england, to the south east of scotland. Further north and west in scotland through Northern Ireland and eventually across the south west quarter, there will be some sunshine to finish the day, and a high on the day of about 15 or 16. Hello, this is bbc news. The headlines at four. Typhoon hagibis makes landfall in Japan Bringing torrential rain and strong winds its the worst storm to hit the country for 60 years.
