But now Naga Munchetty is pulling away the typhoon is pulling away. Scotlands crucial world cup match against japan is on at the yokohama stadium. Well be live there with the latest in the next few minutes. 1 59. 40, Eliud Kipchoge storms into the history books in vienna. And he made history becoming the first man to run a marathon in under two hours. Well speak to Eliud Kipchoge after eight. Its sunday, 13th october. Our top story. The wife of a us diplomat, who was involved in a car crash that killed the british teenager harry dunn, says shes been left devastated by the accident. Last night, the Foreign Office revealed that Anne Sacoolas no longer has diplomatic immunity, because shes now back killed the british teenager harry dunn, says shes been left in the United States. Harrys parents, whove been campaigning for her return to the uk, are due to fly to washington later. Simon jones has more. Theyve ta ken their fight forjustice to the Foreign Office in london, and now harry dunns parents are flying to the us. They say ever since harrys death, theyve been trapped in a nightmare. He was killed on this road, hit by a car believed to be driven by Anne Sacoolas, the wife of a us diplomat. She returned home shortly afterwards, claiming diplomatic immunity. Now shes broken her silence. A Statement Issued through her lawyer said its something harry dunns family have been calling for. You want to grieve, you desperately want to grieve, the whole family desperately want to grieve, but we cant. So every day is a battle and every day more of a battle than we feel it should be. And in that battle harrys parents have received a letter from the foreign secretary. Dominic raab writes this could pave the way to extradite miss sacoolas to the uk. Simonjones is at Heathrow Airport for us this morning. Simon, harrys parents will be flying to the states what are they hoping to achieve . They are flying out on a couple of hours time and they say theyd much rather not be making this trip, theyd rather be spending their time grieving but they feel they still need answers. They had a meeting during the week at the foreign 0ffice, during the week at the Foreign Office, they felt it was just a publicity stunt. They tried contacting the Us Ambassador in london but didnt feel theyd made any progress so, london but didnt feel theyd made any progress so, in washington and new york, they want to talk to politicians directly to make their case, even perhaps speaking to the president. The key thing, though, is to meet Anne Sacoolas after she made the offer, they want to hear from her first hand about what happened. The families say they are elated to hear the news from the home office the british authorities think she doesnt qualify for immunity any more. They say they are also confused about how this suddenly came out of the blue, why it took so long for the authorities here to realise that and the lawyer representing the family told us on bbc breakfast in the past hour that the authorities here and there have key questions to answer. She was allowed to or encouraged to be Spirited Away on an American Transport plane and, effectively, rendered a fugitive from british justice and now, of course, we find out she isnt entitled to diplomatic immunity and in those circumstances she is in a foreign land a fugitive from britishjustice she is in a foreign land a fugitive from british justice and she is in a foreign land a fugitive from britishjustice and we hope she returns herself voluntarily and that this wasjust a returns herself voluntarily and that this was just a bad returns herself voluntarily and that this wasjust a bad piece of returns herself voluntarily and that this was just a bad piece of advice she received from the american authorities. And we have, of course, heard overnight from the lawyer representing Anne Sacoolas. It is interesting what was said and what wasnt said in the statement. We hear from wasnt said in the statement. We hearfrom anne wasnt said in the statement. We hear from Anne Sacoolas she is devastated, she says she cooperated with the police straight after the crash, she spoke to them the day after in her home and she has offered this meeting with harry dunns family. What it doesnt explain is why she felt the best course of action was to leave the uk after the crash. It doesnt say who, if anyone, advised her to do that. We are also not clear if or when this meeting might take place now the british authorities believe immunity has been taken away. It may be the legal team representing Anne Sacoolas might think that is no longer the best thing to do. Whatever happens, if this does proceed to extradition, this could bea proceed to extradition, this could be a long, drawn out affair so although the parents are flying off from heathrow, the reality is there is still a long way to run on this case before they can see any form of end. 0k, simon, for now, thank you. Simonjones at Heathrow Airport. It is 8 06am. Since weve been on air this morning the death toll in that devastating japanese typhoon has been rising. Its now thought at least 18 people have been killed and dozens more are injured and missing. Officials said some of those killed were swept away by landslides while others were trapped in their cars as floodwaters rose. After making landfall on saturday, the storm flooded rivers and left almost half a million homes without power. 0ur tokyo correspondent Rupert Wingfield hayes reports. It is now a bright, sunny day in tokyo, with little evidence of the storm that swept across the city last night. But the vast amounts of rain dropped by typhoon hagibis has breached flood defences right across the country. The area affected stretches for over 1,000 kilometres the equivalent of cornwall to edinburgh. In the town of hakone near mount fuji, more than a metre of rain fell on friday and saturday the highest 48 hour total ever recorded. Further north in nagano prefecture, levees along the chikuma river have given way, and water is still rushing through residential areas, inundating houses up to the second floor. The levees around tokyo have held. River levels are now falling. The japanese grand prix is going ahead and for world cup rugby fans, theres good news the much anticipated match between scotland and hosts japan will now take place tonight. Rupert wingfield hayes, bbc news, in tokyo. Lets get a little more information about that japan scotland lets get a little more information about thatjapan scotland game. 0ur correspondent andy swiss is in yokohama today and we can see jubilant fans making their way to the stadium, they must be so relieved. They are, yes. As you say, beautiful blue skies in yokohama but when you arrive here you can still see the effects of the typhoon. There is a big area of playing fields next to the stadium and they are completely submerged in water and ive been speaking to the scotla nd fa ns and ive been speaking to the scotland fans who were arriving early and they said when they were holed up in the hotels last night with the typhoon whistling overhead they thought there was no chance this match would carry on today. It has been some feet by the organisers although fans have been warned to get here nice and early because of possible transport disruption and theyve been warned there may not be as much food and drink available inside the stadium is normal because a lot of the staff cant get here because of the disruption. And the organisers have said there will be a moments silence before the start of the match to remember all of those who have been affected by the typhoon. As for the rugby itself, as you say, this is a huge match for both teams. Scotland know they have to win to get through to the quarterfinals. They may need a bonus point as well by scoring four or more tries. As forjapan, it is a lot simplerfor them. More tries. As forjapan, it is a lot simpler for them. If they win, they will be through to the quarterfinals for the first time in the history and what a moment that would be in front of their home fans here. Clearly, the context of this match has changed dramatically in the last 48 hours or so and this will be a chance for people to remember all those that have been affected by that typhoon. Andy, thanks very much. Andy swiss in the yokohama this morning. The leader of the house of commons, Jacob Rees Mogg, has warned brexit supporters the government will have to make compromises to get a deal. His comments in the sunday telegraph come as a downing street source suggests the uk is still a long way from agreeing a deal with brussels, and talks remain critical. Borisjohnson is due to meet the leaders of france and germany in the coming days to try to secure support. Kurds, whore under attack from turkey in northern syria, say they will no longer prioritise guarding detainees from the Islamic State group, if the offensive continues. Since hostilities began on wednesday, nearly 50 civilians are thought to have died and more than a 100,000 people have fled their homes. The uk has called on turkey to end its military operation in the area. Rescue teams are trying to reach two workers trapped in the wreckage of a building under construction in new orleans. At least one person died and 18 others were injured when part of the new Hard Rock Hotel collapsed. Officials say the building remains unstable and further collapse is possible. The prince of wales willjoin thousands of catholics at the vatican later to see the victorian priest cardinaljohn henry newman made a saint. He is the first english person born since the 17th century to be canonised as our correspondent reports. John newman is viewed by many catholics as an inspiration. Today at the Vatican Pope Francis will confirm that newman, a victorian who began life in the church of england and ended it as a catholic cardinal, isa sin. And ended it as a catholic cardinal, is a sin. Thousands of british catholics are expected at the ceremony catholics are expected at the ceremony alongside members of the church of england and the prince of wales, who is praised newmans work. Newman eventually converted to catholicism and became a priest, a move which led to some friends and collea g u es move which led to some friends and colleagues disowning him. His ecclesiastical career flourished. He founded a society of priests, the birmingham 0ratory, but also remained close to the poor of victorian england. The qualities he showed are universal. They are timeless. They are successful and only do good. His integrity, his friendship, his capacity for friendship and loyalty and hard work set a very good and hopeful example to everyone. The vatican has confirmed the two miracles needed for a person to be named a saint. One of them, a chicago woman who says the cardinal healed her of internal bleeding that threatened both her and her unborn childs life. Pope francis will also canonise four women today, including an indian sister who was said to have been able to levitate and also a first brazilian born saint. John mcmanus, bbc news. It is 8 12am, you are watching brea kfast. The parents of teenager harry dunn, who was killed in a road crash involving the wife of a us diplomat, will fly to washington later to raise concerns about the case with american politicians. Anne sacoolas returned to the United States after the crash claiming diplomatic immunity. She now wants to meet harrys parents. Lets speak to the former victims commissioner baroness newlove. Good morning to you. So, as we said, harrys parents will fly to washington. What will they hope to achieve from this . This is a saga that has been very tough for them. Achieve from this . This is a saga that has been very tough for themlj pay my respects to the family. It is horrendous what they have to go through. It is a complete mess, i think, because they have to fly to america to get answers. Theyve lost a son, they dont know the reasons why comedy politicians have got involved and come yet, at the centre of this is a family who is grieving a loss but cant do it in private, they have to go out and fight for their son and that cant be right. Sally where have the failings been to get them to this point . The failings are it has become political, it has become Headline News for the politicians, it has become Headline News for the wrong reasons. And that family have suffered a loss and isntjust happen now, it happened months ago andi happen now, it happened months ago and i know everyone is running round and i know everyone is running round and round but you have no answers. Again, victims have no rights. It really is. I feel again, victims have no rights. It really is. Ifeel for again, victims have no rights. It really is. I feel for this family. Ben massive confusion about this element of diplomatic immunity. Because she left the uk, she no longer has diplomatic immunity but there are some suggestions she never had in the first place are how damaging has that been . Very damaging has that been . Very damaging to the family who have gone to think of the country would support them, to the right people comedy politicians to say what rights do we have, what can we do . It doesnt help in america when they say other comments. At the other the end of the day, they need a nswe rs. End of the day, they need answers. You have families around you laughing and joking, and ive been there with my daughters when theyve had family, their dads are there and they are breaking their hearts and we have to get this in context hearts and we have to get this in co ntext a nd hearts and we have to get this in context and im sure the family want to do this in private not in the public media. You touched on their your own experience. Just remind us what happened to you, and really how you got to this point in your life where, unfortunately, because of the tragedy that happened to you, you know the failings of the system. Tragedy that happened to you, you know the failings of the systemm 2007 my husband was brutally murdered by a gang of youths and every punch and kick you received was witnessed by my three young daughters. There were 12, 15 and 18. 0ur lives became national news. I had to turn his life support machine off two days later. So i understand where they are coming from because without our family liaison officers, who are still friends today, the system who are still friends today, the syste m we nt who are still friends today, the system went around us. It didnt stop for us one minute, it went around us. And it feels like you just want to be left in silence. In this instance with this family, they are having to travel to america to get answers. And they will not be in the best state of mind, either. I am worried about how much information they are getting, how much information they are able to digest. They will fly back on and i know they have a lawyer right now but even lawyer speak is completely different. I think we should have proper support in instances like this and come at the end of the day, they are both mothers. Losing their son. They are both mothers. Losing their son. She had herson they are both mothers. Losing their son. She had her son in the car so i dont think there is any win win but at the end of that day that family should have had answers there and then to allow them to grieve and the process should have wrapped around them instead of them having to fight the system to get answers. Do you think the system forgets who the real victims are in cases like this . Over the years, yes, which is why i spoke out after garys trial. Ten weeks we sat there, couldnt say anything and when i made a statement, this was for gary, not for anybody else. This was for gary to have a voice as the family are doing the same. They are speaking for their son because they have lost their son and when you lose a loved one and you have no control, that voice is very important and we should make sure that voice is first and foremost because if you dont politicians will come and go but actually that family will have a lifetime now of having no son and if they dont get anyjustice, how do you close that door . It is the loneliest place when the process forgets you and that is why i still fight for victims and that is why i will still say im not bothered about politics, i am bothered about the human beings because it could have happened to anybody. And what would you advice be to those parents today . The advices to make sure you get time to die just, make sure youre getting the right support, which i am worried about, and ensure we look after them. They need to ta ke we look after them. They need to take time, give them time to digest information. They are not legal eagles and at the end of the day they have lost a son. The rest of they have lost a son. The rest of the family are grieving, this isnt just fish and chip paper for everybody, this is the rest of their lives and thinking have i done my best . And every time we have to go through a situation like this, it throws into sharp focus what might need to change with the law to make it easierfor the victims need to change with the law to make it easier for the victims to get the support they need and also to make sure they are supported through the whole process, the legal process, the emotional process so what needs to change . We need a victims law so they have victims rights. There is human rights and we always think about the human rights but the victim has the equal balance of human rights and the human rights of the family has to be foremost but we need rights proper support. We need qualified people to help them. We have independent Domestic Violence advisors because it is sensitive. We need advisers to help these people because it isnt all about legal for them to come in. They are doing a job at this family have to be helped to rehabilitate, first and foremost, they need justice for their son in a language they understand because it isnt fair to families. It never ends. The process will not end with one process. Ive had 12 years of appeals. So, people think that it is just one instance. We are dealing with another country here. We need to get the support package right. It isnt about money, its about human lives and if you cant put that money and to support them, it is very shoddy and that is why we need a law because that family are going through heartache. These are stories we are discussing and it is the family, ican we are discussing and it is the family, i can feed it we are discussing and it is the family, i canfeed it in we are discussing and it is the family, i can feed it in my stomach now, who sit there and say what can we do . They want to do the best by their son and they will fight until they get the best but in doing that fight we are damaging them even further so the system has to get it right to protect that human being, treat them with decency and dignity because, one day, it could be you and we are all in the system. If you dont do that, its appalling, and thats why they are fighting forward , thats why they are fighting forward, which is why i made statement because their son has no voice, who else can they speak for . Important words on which to end. It is good to hear your thoughts, thank you. It is 8 20am, youre watching brea kfast. Heres alina with a look at this mornings weather. Good morning, everyone. We were talking about typhoon hagibis yesterday. It is no longer a typhoon, just an area of low pressure weakened pushing north eastwards not before it brought windy in excess of 110 miles an hour, a metre of rain to the west of tokyo, a lot of the damage caused by flooding and landslides, things are drier and brighter today but there is the chance heavy showers could develop later on today and into tomorrow but the winds will be easing down all the while. Lets come back home now where we have got low pressure of our own bringing further areas of rain today on already saturated ground. Yesterday, more rain on top of that wet ground brings further risk of flooding and the latest flood risk warnings are on our website and we have two france to deal with today. The first one is what we had yesterday and it is lingering along the central and southern parts of england and wales pushing north and eastwards and then another front in the irish sea and these two areas of rain combine into one during the day extending north and eastwards eventually starting to turn a little bit drier and brighter from the west. Aside from a few showers, Northern Ireland will be mainly dry, similarto showers, Northern Ireland will be mainly dry, similar to northern and western scotland, away from showers, some spells of sunshine and dry. Quite windy across east anglia and south east england and this rain taking its time to clear from northern and north east england through the day. As it does, where we have some sunshine, temperatures up we have some sunshine, temperatures up to 17, just 12 or 13 where we have the rain. The rain lingers for a time across Northern England, eastern scotland, eventually pulling away and making many places dry with clear skies although further rain pushing into ireland in southern england. 5 10 the overnight low, could get closer to freezing across Northern England and scotland, not one but two fronts tomorrow to deal with, one pushing up through the irish sea, this other one returning to south east england through the morning. More rain extending its way northwards through the day across central, southern england, a much better day across Northern Ireland, further north and east, this is where you will find the dry and brighter weather, some spells of sunshine, temperatures up to 14 15, feeling cool underneath some more persistent rain across southern england. Into tuesday and rain pulls away from eastern scotland and north east england, some showers across the western posts, rain into Northern Ireland, then some dry conditions in between. Quite a windy day making highs of 14 15 fuel somewhat cooler. Into wednesday, a frontal system pushes its way eastwards, notice the squeeze on the isobars so it is wet and windy for many and as the rain clears eastwards on thursday we will see some spells of sunshine but also some spells of sunshine but also some heavy and blustery showers so it isa some heavy and blustery showers so it is a really unsettled figurehead with rain for many of us on most days. If you have outdoor plans, keep an eye on the weather. Sally lets stick to indoor plans. Youre watching breakfast from bbc news. Lets look at the front pages. The sunday times leads with news that borisjohnson is to offer eu leaders a historic grand bargain on brexit. The picture is Eliud Kipchoge the paper describes his historic achievement yesterday as a marathon miracle. The observer carries claims by pro remain mps that they are gaining enough support to secure a second referendum on the eu. Leader of the house of Commons Jacob rees mogg appeals to eurosceptics to back the Prime Ministers proposals on brexit in the sunday telegraph. He says that compromise will inevitably be needed. And, finally, millions of people are waiting a month to see a gp according to the sunday mirror. The paper also has the latest on the public feud between Coleen Rooney and rebekah vardy. Lets get some more detail on some of those front page stories. Coleen rooney and rebekah vardy. 0ur Political Correspondent pete saull is in our london newsroom. This warning from Jacob Rees Mogg to fellow brexiteers, how much should we read into that . Well we are now into an intense period of negotiation in the brexit talks. The officials from the eu and from the uk are in whats called the tunnel at the moment, as they try to make a breakthrough ahead of that crucial eu summit on thursday and, clearly, if there is going to be a breakthrough, there will have to be a compromise from either side. That is the message from Jacob Rees Mogg this morning in the sunday telegraph. Up until recently, he was a very senior conservative backbencher, really well respected amongst brexiteers in the tory party and he is saying to his mates this morning to trust borisjohnson, he isa morning to trust borisjohnson, he is a lever himself, he has our best interests at heart. The government has one eye also on what potentially might happen in parliament. It appears at the moment if Boris Johnson were to get a deal, you might be able to have a fragile majority to get that through parliament. Clearly, though, if there are concessions, that might annoy some of the different factions, the democratic unionists have also warned overnight they are concerned about a potential compromise on customs concerned about a potential compromise on customs on concerned about a potential compromise on customs on the island of ireland so as ever a delicate balancing act for the Prime Minister. Strap yourselves in for a massive week for brexit, starting with a green speech, the state 0pening with a green speech, the state opening of parliament tomorrow, borisjohnson has also got phone calls lined up with the leaders of france, germany, Jean Claude Juncker as well. He finally tries to get all of this done by that eu summit. And we have next saturday the extraordinary saturday sitting of the house of commons, the first time that has happened in more than 30 yea rs. That has happened in more than 30 years. And what about the detail on the queen speech . The main piece of legislation we will look out for tomorrow is that withdrawal agreement, the piece of legislation needed to enact a deal should Boris Johnson manage to secure one in the next few days. We are hearing also reports of some of the mps in parliament are concerned about in ideal brexit, some of them saying evenif ideal brexit, some of them saying even if a deal is done, there is not enough time before 31st of october to get the deal through so an extension might be required anyway. Downing street says that isnt the case, they hope to do this through this piece of legislation which will be brought forward in the queen speech tomorrow. Elsewhere, reforms to the railways which will be announced tomorrow, and we are hearing a lot of stuff on Mental Health as well, and on building safety as well. The government trying to get to grips with the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower disaster as part of the legislation that will come forward tomorrow, more than 20 bills will go on to the governments agenda tomorrow. This is quite an unusual queens speech, usually happening after a general election, this one is before a general election, probably, so labour are referring to it as a Party Political broadcast for the tory party. Thanks very much. Coming up here on breakfast. Hes the first athlete to run a marathon in under two hours, well talk to Eliud Kipchoge about his incredible achievement in around ten minutes time. Stay with us, headlines coming up. Hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. Heres a summary of this mornings main news. The wife of a us diplomat, who was involved in a car crash that killed the british teenager harry dunn, says shes been left devastated by the accident. Last night, the Foreign Office revealed that Anne Sacoolas no longer has diplomatic immunity, because shes returned to the United States. Harrys parents, whove been campaigning for her return to the uk, are due to fly to washington later. She was allowed to, encouraged, to be Spirited Away on an American Transport plane and effectively rendered a fugitive from british justice, and now of course we find out shes not entitled to diplomatic immunity and in those circumstances, she is in a foreign land, a fugitive from british justice and we do hope she returns herself voluntarily and this was just a bad piece of advice she received from the american authorities. Its now thought at least 18 people have now been killed and many more hurt after a powerful typhoon swept across japan. After making landfall yesterday, the storm flooded rivers and left almost half a million homes without power. Typhoon hagibis is now moving north and is expected to head out to sea later today. Kurds, whore under attack from turkey in northern syria, say they will no longer prioritise guarding detainees from the Islamic State group, if the offensive continues. Since hostilities began on wednesday, nearly 50 civilians are thought to have died and more than 100,000 people have fled their homes. The uk has called on turkey to end its military operation in the area. The leader of the house of commons, Jacob Rees Mogg, has warned brexit supporters the government will have to make compromises to get a deal. His comments in the sunday telegraph come as a downing street source suggests the uk is still a long way from agreeing a deal with brussels, and talks remain critical. Borisjohnson is due to meet the leaders of france and germany in the coming days to try to secure support. Rescue teams are trying to reach two workers trapped in the wreckage of a building under construction in new orleans. At least one person died and 18 others were injured when part of the new Hard Rock Hotel collapsed. Officials say the building remains unstable and further collapse is possible. The victorian priest and poet, cardinaljohn henry newman, will be declared a saint by the pope today. The prince of wales willjoin thousands of people at the vatican for the ceremony. Cardinal newman is the first english person born since the 17th century to be canonised, werejoined now by ann ramsbotton, whos a parishioner and volunteer at Holy Trinity Church near wolverhampton. Thats the parish where Cardinal Newman made his name as an assistant priest back in 1849. A very good morning to you. Talk me through this significance, if you could, as to what this would mean . It is very significant to the catholics in england. But all over the world, really. Where bilston is concerned, it is a major event for us, because Cardinal Newman came here and worshipped in our church. And explain, you believe there is a Family Connection . That your relatives would potentially have met him whilst in the church . Yes, i am the fourth generation of worshippers at holy trinity, and a lot of my family helped with the construction, the same as many parishioners. It was built brick by brick, they paid for each brick at the church and Cardinal Newman would have been administering to some of those a ncestors administering to some of those ancestors of mine and some of the parishioners there. Can you give us the background and explain the significance of the work that Cardinal Newman did . It is quite specific, two miracles need to be declared for someone to be made a saint . Yes, two miracles are attributed to him that there are a couple more we think may be attributed to him but they have never been proven. With the catholic church, we need irrefutable proof that these things happen and we have got it in two cases. 0ne that these things happen and we have got it in two cases. One of them, the last one, where a young mother was pregnant and she was bleeding heavily with the fear of losing the child, she made a miraculous recovery when she prayed to Cardinal Newman to help her out. It is really good to talk to you, time is tight this morning. Im gratefulfor your time, and ramsbottom, and there is a celebration with about 300 people in the parish today. Thank you so much. Thank you. Those are the main stories this morning. Theres one place to start with the sport, if you are just waking theres one place to start with the sport, if you arejust waking up, the Important News is that the rugby is on it is a go yes, in yokohama, for the scottish game againstjapan, it isa for the scottish game againstjapan, it is a must when. All of the scottish fans and players, theyjust wa nted scottish fans and players, theyjust wanted the chance to play this game and they would be delighted that after the pitch inspection overnight, and it is surprising seeing andy swiss with blue skies in yokohama, you wouldnt think that with the devastation we have seen there that everything is ok to go ahead.

Its fantastic for the japanese people, theyve been absolutely spot on, couldnt ask for more and everyone is looking forward to it. Ive spoken to a lot ofjapanese people and they were certain they wanted the game to continue, as well as because we are out if we dont win. As a nation, they are desperate for this win, no buts about it, and im looking forward to a fantastic game. This is going to be a really crucial game for the whole world cup. All the rest of the pools seems to play out as we expected but this is the pool. Really looking forward to it. A crucial morning. Wales take on uruguay in kumamoto wins over georgia, australia and fiji has put them into the quarterfinals. Another will see them top their group. Theres an injury to fly half dan biggar rhys patchells the only recognised replacement, winger hallam amos may be drafted in to cover, the last time he played in that position was when he was 14 at school. Kick off is at 9 15am this morning. The weather also disprupted the japanese grand prix. Qualifying was pushed back a day, but that didnt stop Valterri Bottas whos won in suzuka this morning to hand mercedes a sixth constructors title in a row. As Lewis Hamiltons made to wait for the drivers title. Michael redford was watching. Bright sunshine at suzuka after a disruptive waste weekend after the typhoon was a distant memory, just a breeze to deal with. Qualifying was made to look a breeze by ferrari early in the money, Sebastian Vettel on pole position his first since june. The advantage was blown away, a stuttering start when Valtteri Bottas took his chance. Max was tap and try to follow but it was not successful. A crash with look lap, who dealt with a damaged front when. 16 to six, not close enough to impact on the front of the weight recall race. The champion was unable to pass and would finish in third. It was the fastest lap for lewis hamilton, giving him the extra point. Combining that with a victory for Valtteri Bottas meaning mercedes sealed the constructors championship for the sixth time in a row. The first time that has happened in formula 1, michael radford, bbc news. St helens beat underdogs Salford Red Devils 23 points to six to win superleagues grand final at old trafford. St helens, who finished top of the regular season as runaway leaders, ran in three tries to salfords one, the last from mark percival. It was a dominat performance in the end as they lifted lifted the trophy for the First Time Since 2014. What a day it was at the world gymnastics championships in stuttgart, and front and centre of the action as she always is was simon biles. The records keep coming for the american. She won gold in the vault, thats her 23rd World Championship medal, equalling the record held by vitaly scherbo. Shes got two chances to make that record her own today, when she competes on the floor and on the balance beam. It was a brilliant day for the british team as they secured gold, silver and bronze medals. Olympic champion max whitlock led the way, retaining his pommel horse title with an impressive routine in stuttgart. Thats his third world title, making him the first british gymnast to win three world titles on the same apparatus. It was as you can see an emotional moment. There was another slice of history in that pommel horse final as Rhys Mcclenaghan finished third to claim irelands first ever medal at the World Championships. The bronze means hes off to tokyo for next years 0lympics. Success too for becky downie who won silver on the uneven bars.

Competitive computer game playing known as esports is big business nowadays, with some of the best gamers raking in millions from Winning International tournaments. Now, some london schools are introducing esports into their classrooms, to help improve learning skills and open up new Career Opportunities for pupils. Our technology reporter, joe tidy, went to find out more. Cheering for these pupils at this Grammar School in south east london, gaming isa school in south east london, gaming is a regular part of school life. At least once a week, students are encouraged to stop number crunching and start button bashing. With regular competitions and get togethers. It is part of a nationwide drive to bring gaming into the classroom. We are teaching them the concept of programming, networking, communications. The breadth of the national curriculum. It is computational thinking, providing students with the ability to think creatively and outside the box to help themselves problems. For pupils, it isnt just box to help themselves problems. For pupils, it isntjust an excuse to show up schoolmates but a chance to explore potential Career Opportunities. I would like to develop games, i have a passion for it andl develop games, i have a passion for it and i like how it works. I want to try and make something of my own. Computing is something for me, i really enjoy programming. To incorporate both of them would be better for me than making it.

It is growing. You can see that kids can have a career in it. For benji and parenti and plenty of other players, home schooling is a decision working well. That embracing gaming as a potential career means that at the children wont have to make that choice. Were nowjoined by pro gamer amy bayliff and esports coach mike ellis. Good morning to you both. Mike, i know that you support esports going into schools . Why . It has so many key values that are great for young adults and kids growing up. It is competing under pressure and playing ina team competing under pressure and playing in a Team Environment. There are so many advantages you get from sport that not everyone is able to do and esports is inclusive and allows anyone to play in that environment. Forgive me for a dumb question, but is it my would imagine it, to be more like an isolating experience rather than a team experience. How does the team work . A lot of people does the team work . A lot of people do not realise that there are communities in every city, and the more time you spend with people in real life gaming, the better. That is something to be recognised and a lot of games encourage that. A lot of games are coming back in and people are spending more time together. Amy, you are a professional gamer. At what point did you think, as a kid did you think i want to do this for a living . How did it work . Absolutely not, asa living . How did it work . Absolutely not, as a kid i didnt have any idea that was an option. This didnt exist ten years ago when i was in a school. Im lucky that i fell into it. I discovered twitch, which is where i work now, and i fell in love with watching people play and then i wanted to be part of it myself and i havent looked back. As a competitor, what is your life like . Do you travel . I dont compete myself, im an entertainment streamer, i provide commentary over gameplay and i speak to people in my chat room, making them feel included and it is a safe space for people to meet friends and forget about the outside world. We travel all over the world my thin in america six times this summer, competing with tens of thousands of dollars on the prize pool. There are players earning full time wages and are able to compete at the top level. M earning full time wages and are able to compete at the top level. It is big business. It is huge. In that report, we saw Young Children getting involved. How is that going to work . In the same way as you have young people playing in schools sports and eventually they become professional. Playing and competing ata professional. Playing and competing at a young age isnt necessarily professional, it can be a hobby but its only when you start getting really good, dedicating thousands of hours like the players on team vitality, and it isntjust kids. For the parents shouting at their telly at home, who try and get their kids off their machines, amy, what is the benefit of being good at this . In school, iwish is the benefit of being good at this . In school, i wish that games we re this . In school, i wish that games were a thing in my school. I know that i for sure would have wanted to go to school everyday. I would have enjoyed it so often, teachers will be going on about something and kids will zone out because they do not really. It is difficult isnt it . There are a lot of life lessons you can learn from being in a Team Environment in competing and having kids engage. Thanks very much.
