Transcripts For BBCNEWS Breakfast 20240713

To take on germany. Good morning. It has been the cold est good morning. It has been the coldest night of autumn so far temperatures and parts of scotland close to minus seven degrees. After a frosty start some will see rain today, hopefully not too much for those areas that have had such major flooding. I will have all the details later here on breakfast. Its saturday the 9th of november. Our top story. A clean up operation is underway in parts of Northern England afterflooding caused by a months worth of rain which fell injust one day. In derbyshire, one woman has died after being swept away by floodwater. There are currently seven severe flood warnings in place along the river don near doncaster. The River Derwent peaked at record levels last night, causing fears it would break its banks and flood the city of derby but levels have since dropped. Jane Frances Kelly reports. Normal life has been put on hold here in matlock which was hit hard by the torrential rain. Dirty brown water flowed through the town centre, flooding homes, disrupting businesses and submerging cars. Not farfrom here, in mosley, a woman died after being swept into the River Derwent full yesterday, the Prime Minister visited matlock to meet Emergency Personnel. And to see some of the damage for himself. City centre in derby was also brought to a standstill as floodwater began to inundate surrounding streets. Council workers want business to prepare for the worst. In workshop in nottinghamshire there were similar disruption as floodwater spread throughout the town. Not far away in mansfield, a cliff gave way. Landslide led to 35 homes being evacuated. In don caster, rescue boats on standby all night. The river don running through the town burst its banks. Communities pulled together to salvage belongings. People said the floodwater spread quickly and are now counting the cost. I was helping my neighbour lived everything upstairs and then her grandson came and helped me with the sandbags. We just all pull together, it is what you have to do. Transport has been badly disrupted. Trains of the left stranded due to submerge tracks while roads have been closed or are barely passable. Although water levels are slowly dropping, flooding can be seen for miles around. We have a reporter we will speak to later in matlock, the centre of some of those problems. Health and childcare take centre stage today, as the Political Parties continue their general Election Campaigns. Labour is promising to open a thousand new sure start Childrens Centres in england as part of a four and a half billion pound investment package. The liberal democrats are also revealing plans for Free Childcare for working parents. Meanwhile, the conservatives say theyll fund the training of 500 more gps in england if they win the election. Lets get more on this from our Political Correspondent pete saull whos in westminster. What should we begin with . Shall we start with health . Sure. The conservatives clearly feel that this will be a vote winner. Many people up will be a vote winner. Many people up and down england are worried about the fact that they are struggling to get a gp appointment at the moment. The conservatives are actually saying that they will recruit 3000 or train up 3000 extra gps by 2024 on top of that they will recruit an extra 3000 from overseas also do better in terms of retaining existing dock is. In theory, that will lead to an extra 50 million gp appointments a year by 2024. So in effect, almost one for each of us. The problem with this of course is whether it is indeed deliverable. You may remember in 2015 the then Health Secretaryjeremy hunt promised the conservatives would recruit an extra 5000 gps by 2020. Well, that is only a few months away and they are nowhere near meeting that target. We said 500, obviously it is 3500, the numbers you have brought up. And we are discussing childcare . Liberal democrats and labour are going strong on this one this morning. Targeting parents of younger children. Labour, for example, while saying they will find 1000 extras sure start centres, first introduced under the tony burke that meant blair led 0pperman. Many have closed however under the conservatives that the tories are saying they will bring many of those back into use for communities up and down the country. On childcare they say that all parents of two four year olds should have access to 13 hours of the childcare a week. The liberal democrats are going a little further on that and saying that should be 35 hours a week and they should be 35 hours a week and they should also be available to working pa rents of should also be available to working parents of children from the age of just nine months. The issue here, i suppose, is in terms of cost. It will cost a lot of money and in the early years an alliance of childcare providers is warning of an arms race when it comes to election promises on childcare. A lot of numbers there to go through. Thank you very much. We will talk to the labour party and the conservative party later in the programme. Sorry, the liberal democrats. It is six minutes past six. Today marks 30 years since the fall of the berlin wall. It paved the way for the reunification of germany, after decades of division between communist Eastern Europe and the west. Special commemorations to mark the occasion will take place across berlin. In broad daylight, with the world watching, east berlin became a prison. Its citizens sealed off from friends and family in the west. The regime called itself a democratic republic. In truth, the gdr spied on its own people, curtailed their freedoms. And this man wanted out. He escaped to west berlin across the canal patrolled by border guards. Translation it took me four hours. It was more diving than swimming and there were dogs and voices but i think i had a guardian angel. I heard a dog close by but thank god i was hidden in the reeds. I was afraid my teeth would give me away. I thought that is it, they are going to shoot me now. Scores of people died trying to escape. Few imagined the gdr would end like this. November 91989 after weeks of protest, the regime came tumbling down. No one died no blood was shed. But this revolution left scars nonetheless. Even Angela Merkel, who herself grew up behind the iron curtain, admits there are still profound inequalities between germanys east and its west. Growing discontent souring the tone of the celebrations. This installation is a chance for people to wear their fears and their hopes, their visions. This is, of course, first and foremost a day of celebration and foremost a day of celebration and commemoration. But the political leaders who gather here no that this country, europe itself, is in some ways still deeply divided. And they themselves are increasingly under pressure to address those divisions. For this man it is an important day as well although he will be thinking of another date, that of his escape. Translation i have always celebrated august 27, 1966. More than my own birthday. That was liberation when we escape from the regime. My disdain for that regime has never faded. Lives regime. My disdain for that regime has neverfaded. Lives lost, freedoms one. A country redefined and 30 years on, a people still trying to make sense of it. Huge wildfires are continuing to sweep across eastern australia, leaving at least two people dead and hundreds of homes destroyed. Firefighters are warning strong winds and a continuing drought could make the situation worse over the next few days. Our correspondent, phil mercer, joins us now from sydney. Can you bring us up to date with the scale of the problem . This is an unprecedented bushfire emergency spanning two states here in eastern australia. It is affecting many communities here in New South Wales, and to the north and queensland. There is a fire crisis there as well. We understand here in New South Wales, five of the out takes a deemed to be at an emergency level. So firefighters are racing to save property and to protect lives and also to urge residents either to ta ke also to urge residents either to take shelter or to leave. What we have seen so far, 150 homes, at least, destroyed here in australia over the last 24 hour is also. Tragically, two people have died. The number of dead could well rise. The number of dead could well rise. The worst affected areas once they are inspected, that number could rise because we know 30 people have been injured. Australia is once again facing a wildfire emergency full authority say that the wind has been somewhat slower and a bit kinder but come tuesday of next week they say that the conditions, in their words, will be dire. And looking ahead to the summer, given we are in the last few weeks of spring here in the southern hemisphere, the summer months are forecast to be potentially catastrophic for parts of australia. So this could well be a foretaste of some terrible times to come here in australia. Just looking at some of those images we saw as he was speaking a moment ago, given the scale of the problem, how do the Fire Services there try and cope when it reaches this level . Many of the fires are uncontained. That means they are burning out of control. You go up another level to the emergency status and it gives you an indication as to the scale of the problem facing firefighters. Vast areas of farmland and forest have been scorched. We have seen schools, bridges and powerlines destroyed. What we have on the ground, about 1200 firefighters here in New South Wales, they are supported by a squadron of water bombing aircraft and among them are two giant helicopter is called air cranes that dump massive amounts of water on these fires. It is safe to say that australia approaches the annual bushfire menace in a military way. This is military planning, trying to co ordinate the best use of resources. But as we said, with so of resources. But as we said, with so many fires burning across eastern australia, those resources are stretched and we know that some of the flames have been so intense and so the flames have been so intense and so fears that the fire crews, even in helicopters, have not been able to reach some people who called for help. That is just an to reach some people who called for help. That isjust an indication to reach some people who called for help. That is just an indication of how severe this crisis here is. Coming up now to 13 minutes past six. This is bbc breakfast, thank you forjoining us. The guardian publishes figures that show the number of nhs patients having surgery in private hospitals has trebled since 2010. The picture shows residents being evacuated from their homes after heavy rainfall across Northern England and the midlands. The times reports that google is making tens of millions of pounds from so called rip off firms which it says are using the Search Engine to encourage savers to invest in potentially fraudulent schemes.

The most watched video on the bbc news website this morning illustrates what its like to be stuck in housing arrangements with a partner youve just broken up with. Cha ntelle and tevin, who had to live together for 10 months after they broke up, are among the 2. 5 Million People in the uk living in so called hidden households that they cannot afford to move out of. Heres ben with a look at this mornings weather. That picture says it all but hopefully a lot of the levels are receding . Yes, but the rain we had is working its way through the River Systems and there are still numerous warnings in force but seven severe warnings in force but seven severe warnings on the river don at the moment. The weather website will have all of the update on those flood warnings and there is some rain in the forecast today but hopefully, those areas that have been so badly affected by flooding, not a lot of rain. Certainly a frosty start for many of us than from the west you can see this band of rain working its way in, already wet across Northern Ireland, the rain getting into other western fringes and ahead of it, dry but cold weather. Some fog patches for parts of the south east and the midlands. Out west, the rain is moving into the south west of england and wales and yes, this is suggesting sleet and snow. If you are up above 200 metres over the hills of wales, you could get a covering of snow during today, maybe 2 covering of snow during today, maybe 2 five centimetres. Heavy rain in Northern Ireland, maybe some localised flooding in the east, some in south west scotland and showers in northern scotland but for much of scotland, a pretty decent start of the day, although it is cold out there. Through the day, the band of rain works its way in from the west but if you are watching on those parts of yorkshire or the east midlands, we have had flooding there, noticed the way in which the rain does not really get in to the area in any meaningful way, it sta rts area in any meaningful way, it starts to slide southwards again across the midlands, over high ground, some sleet and snow mixing in. North and east, dry, just the odd shower, quite a chilly day, mild for wales and the south west later on but you may see some late whiteness there. This evening and tonight, this area of whether pivots and slides away, shall remain across south wales and the south of england and further north, clear, starry skies overhead for the most parts of the northern half of the uk, a cold night, maybe down to 4 also across parts of scotland. Tomorrow, remembrance sunday, starting off with a lot of clout, some shall remain in the south, sliding away though and apart from the odd shower peppering northern scotland and down north seacoast of england, it will bea north seacoast of england, it will be a predominantly dry day with some good spells of sunshine. This is certainly good news for those areas that have had the flooding. Another chilly day, temperatures best between seven and ten and noticed behind me there is a weather system waiting in the wings, it will move through during sunday night into the first part of monday and the air cold enough snow over high ground on the north but persistent range of clear quickly on monday to leave a sunshine and shower mix, some wintry towards the north west, but it will stay rather chilly, top temperatures between six and 11 so some rain is in the forecast but for those flood affected areas, hopefully not too much. Back to you. Ben, thank you. Lot of people are very interested in those reports this morning and of course it is our main story, the town of matlock in the Peak District was hard hit by those floods with homes and businesses facing a huge clean up operation this morning. Homes and businesses facing a huge cleanup operation this morning. Our reporter one luxmy gopal is there for us. |j luxmy gopal is there for us. I am in a misty matlock and i dont know if you can hear the sounds of that but thatis you can hear the sounds of that but that is the sound of the fast flowing River Derwent rushing under the bridge that i am stood on and you can see quite how fast flowing it is but it is quite a lot lower thanit it is but it is quite a lot lower than it was yesterday, the river levels have dropped and of course, people here in matlock have been breathing a sigh of relief overnight that the River Derwent did not burst its banks. They were spared anyways flooding the may have already experienced. But is thanks in part to the fact it stayed fairly dry. There has not been much, if any, rain here and certainly nothing like the parental downpours we saw in parts of South Yorkshire and derbyshire on thursday night and into friday. So a big sigh of relief and as you say the clean up operations can believe a gravel and begin in earnest. The Prime Minister was here recently, talking about the clean up operation and more investment in flood defences and being prepared and that is certainly something that people here are going to be working on and preparing and actually today, still some sandbags out and the clean up operation will begin. The Weather Forecast for the rest of the day does have a bit of rain in it but nothing like there has been before. Of course, across the rest of the country, there is also the clean up operation in parts of South Yorkshire, and derbyshire, and if there is still a disruption of a result of the flooding with some trains cancelled so while the rain may has eased, the heavy rains may have eased, the disruption from the floods is still very much still there. Thank you very much. Luxmy gopal will keep us up to date throughout the morning. All of the sport withjohn throughout the morning. All of the sport with john is throughout the morning. All of the sport withjohn is coming up. It is 19 minutes past six. Now its time for the film review with mark kermode and carrie gracie. Hello. Welcome to the film review on bbc news. And to take us through this weeks cinema releases is mark kermode. So, mark, what do we have this week . A very mixed bag. We have the good liar, which is a super ripe drama starring helen mirren and ian mckellen. We have the irishman, Martin Scorseses netflix film which is playing in cinemas. And luce, a very intriguing psychological thriller. So we start with the good liar . We start with the good liar with helen mirren and ian mckellen. They are silver surfers who meet online. In the opening sequence, they are filling out the Online Dating forms and they are both fibbing about themselves. And we learn early on that he is a con man, he meets helen mirren, she is looking for companionship, but gradually, a relationship forms between them. But her grandson does not trust ian mckellen and, frankly, neither would i. Heres a clip. Chuckles. The size of your estate, thered be a windfall every week. So, what would you. Steven . I thought you were in spandau. Oh, did you . Well, they let me out early. Steven, why didnt you let me know you were back . You should have called what have you got her doing . He moves in here with his gammy leg, and the first time i leave you alone with him, hes got you giving him all your money . No thats not whats going on here thats jumping a few fences listen, roy. Do you know what . This isnt your house. Steven. Hes an intruder. Can you see that . Youre embarrassing me in front of mr halloran and roy, who i. Dont touch me. Dont. So this is adapted from a novel and at the beginning, we are being set up for a twist which i must say, if you didnt see this coming, you were asleep on thejob. There is then a second and third twist that made me go, oh, for heavens sake if you are to enjoy this, the best way to do it is to enjoy the sight of helen mirren and ian mckellen chewing the scenery for all they are worth. I mean, it is preposterous tosh. Oh 0h that oh that is a Strong Language but that does not mean it is not without its enjoyable i know several people who have enjoyed it for all its ridiculousness. Apparently, the novel seems slightly less fanciful. Its kind of a weird cross between miss marple sunday afternoon tv and something which is slightly more sweary than that. It makes no sense whatsoever. The pleasure in it is seeing two actors enjoying themselves although, i have to say, i never believed they were anything other than two actors enjoying themselves. You never actually believed in the characters, as they were. I mean, its an odd film that falls between several stalls. Its directed by bill condon, who is a very good director, and it has a very fine cast, but it is absolutely ridiculous nonsense. Is that an opportunity missed . I mean, the world is full nowadays of con men trying to wrangle people out of their savings. But heres the thing at the beginning, the premise is being sold as the good liar. Who is the good liar . That is a nice little idea and obviously, one expects there to be twists and turns, which it does exactly what you expect. But then it goes into the realms of the utterly ridiculous. But, you know, theres a certain pleasure in seeing very fine actors having fun. It doesnt make any sense. 0k. Any sense no sense i think we got that message. Lets move on to the second film does this make sense . Another film with fine actors, the irishman. This is martin scorsese, joe pesci, robert de niro, al pacino. Robert de niro is back working with scorsese and making the kind of movies like goodfellas and casino. Its made from netflix, but has a brief theatrical window of 21 days. Its the story of frank sheeran, it goes over six decades. Al pacino playsjimmy hoffa, the union leader. Joe pesci is playing very, very underplayed. Stephen graham is playing the kind of character thatjoe pesci would have played in a previous incarnation. The thing theres been a lot of talk about the films digital de ageing technology. We see the characters go from the 19405 through to. And theres lots of question about it being a distraction i didnt think it was. The only distracting thing is occasionally, their bodies move like old men, although their faces look young. Oh, weird but in a 3. 5 hour movie, for that to only be occasionally distracting is pretty good. Its a very interesting story. Its well told, there is real film making brio, there is a terrific soundtrack, the performances are all solid, and it does it takes full advantage of the fact that it is a netflix film, 3. 5 hours long, which is the thing that might make people think they will stay and watch it at home. But i watched it in the cinema and the run time flew by with the exception of the last act, which felt like they were making it for a home audience. But i thought it was entertaining and the digital de ageing bothered me much less than expected. And frankly, if they could digitally de aged me in that way, id be very happy. I dont like the idea of that. Its well done. It is just make it isjust make up. Its just digital make up. Its like performance capture with digital costumes. Digital de ageing is just digital make up if you use it properly. Its going to put a whole profession out of a job you still need to use ordinary make up, as well. Older periods where they do the standard ageing thing. But i think it is the future, you just need to be careful of the technology it is not the tail wagging the dog. Fair enough. We need to move on to the third one, luce. Yes. This is based on a stage play. Naomi watts and tim roth are a liberal White American couple who adopted a child who grew up in war torn eritrea. Now he is a model student, fantastic at sports and debating, but one of his teachers has started to have worries about him. Is something up with him, or does she have a hidden agenda . Heres a clip. What are the criteria for evaluating what is a valuation of privacy . Is privacy a civil right . I think so. Maybe the law isnt so sure. If i went through your desk without your knowing, would you feel like your privacy was violated . Yes, i would. So . Feelings arent a legal argument. In the newjersey case, the teacher assumed the girl was guilty, because of her feelings. Thats called reasonable suspicion. Its all the police need to search your car. So its about whats reasonable . Thats what courts are for. But its really about people though, right . Whether they conform to what we think they are . Its not that simple. Nothing ever is. Thats kind of the nub of it. And what you see from that is, you know, what i was saying about the first film, there are twist and you can see them coming 1 million miles away. All the way through, you are kept guessing as to what is actually going on. Doesnt it tell you at the end . I dont. In my opinion, it is impressively unresolved. Yes, things get solved up to a certain amount, but it is a film of great ambiguity. Theres a terrific soundtrack by geoff barrow and ben salisbury, whose soundtrack all the way through is telling you this is awkward and off kilter strange things are at work here. What i really liked about it is that its actually hard to sustain a movie in which, right up until the very end, you are questioning peoples motives and characters. But you also start to realise the film wont tie itself neatly up. It will leave questions unresolved. I thought it was very, very well played. A great performance by kelvin harrisonjr, Octavia Spencer is terrific. It is a very satirical take on the middle class couple and their presumption about things. And one of the things that. The white saviour stuff . Yes, but one of the things it does also is wrong foots the audience. It plays to the audiences expectations, or does it . All the way through this, i kept thinking, this has the sense of ambiguity and uncertainty that the film before didnt have. I dont think it will have a huge cinema audience but it was well worth seeing. My only reservation is that it is quite stage y. But i thought the story was really well told. Great, ok. 30 seconds for best out . Best out is monos. This extraordinary film which, on the one hand is a story about child soldiers, but so much more than that. It is a modern day lord of the flies. Extraordinary soundtrack by mica levi one of the weirdest soundtracks ive heard all year and a brilliant ensemble performance by a cast who are either very well known or completely unknown. Brilliantly disturbing, overwhelming, and wonderful. That sounds incredible. Now, then and quickly, best dvd . Yesterday. The story is everyone has forgotten the beatles, except for our protagonist. What would it be like if you woke up and you were the only person who remembered heyjude . Its really fun. Im a sucker for Richard Curtis scripts anyways, its really well played. Its one of those things where you either love it or you go, for heavens sake, this makes no sense i really enjoyed it. I laughed, cried, and watched it twice. The second time around, it was just as powerful. I thought it was. Im a sucker for really well done sentimentality, and this was like a great pop song. You can listen to it over and over again. Thank you, mark. I still need to see that. Youve made me want to watch it. Thats it for this week. Thanks for watching us. Goodbye. Hello. This is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Good morning. Heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news.

The wall was heavily guarded. Gunther heinzel escaped from east germany with his wife. Hes been reflecting on those who didnt survive the dangerous journey. I think about these i think about these many i think about these many people i think about these many people who i think about these many people who we re i think about these many people who were killed because they tried to do the same thing as my wife and i did.

This weekend marks the Fiftieth Anniversary of sesame street the American Television show that set out to entertain and educate younger children.

The programme is loved by generations and over the years has become known for covering issues including race, culture, homelessness and autism. Those are our main stories this morning. John has arrived on the sofa. All eyes are on wembley and we await to see how many will be there because hopefully we will see a record breaking crowd. 90,000 there and it is a complete sell out of the match later today stop so talking about the growth of the womens game, this is a significant landmark. A special moment for the players. It is another landmark moment in womens football and for this england team, many of whom have spoken about the thrill of playing in front of crowd in excess of 80,000. And lots of former players who never got the chance to play here, will be recognised before kick off. Ahead of a game which shows how womens football continues to grow. I think from a Commercial Point of view what we have seen over the last 1218 view what we have seen over the last 12 18 month, all of a sudden we have seen 12 18 month, all of a sudden we have seen major 12 18 month, all of a sudden we have seen major sponsors come 12 18 month, all of a sudden we have seen major sponsors come into the womens game and with that comes a great growth and i am sure over the next 12 18 months, the players will be rewarded for their work stop i was fortu nate be rewarded for their work stop i was fortunate enough to play at wembley for the Great Britain team and we had over 70,000 there when we played brazil. At the time we were getting about 200 to club games and it was an occasion we stepped out on the pitch and you are nervous because you had never seen that many people before full but for the olympics, many people did just buy a ticket to ces go to the olympics and bea ticket to ces go to the olympics and be a part of it. It was not necessarilyjust for womens football. So to think that everybody out there wants to support this team, it is a massive turning point for the game. And there has been plenty of reaction on social media. Georgia stanway posting a pic with some of her team mates on the pitch. Captain Steph Houghton with a nod to those whove gone before saying, so many people have played their part in how we have got to where we are today we are forver grateful and now we cant wait to play at wembley , Alex Greenwood ready to go. As we all are. And lets not forget teams building towards the womens euros here in 2021 scotland made it two wins from two in qualfying by thrashing albania 5 0. It was comfortable throughout and how about this for a finish from Christie Murray who rounded off the win against the side bottom of the group. Northern ireland were beaten 6 0 by norway. In the premier League Watford are off the bottom. They beat norwich who replace them there. Gerard deulofeu giving them the lead just a minute in. Then substitute andre grey grabbed nil win Watford Holding on despite having a man sent off. Pointing us in the right direction is what we need to do to get results. You can believe in what were doing and everything this result is the first goal in sport, to win. And finally we found something positive. Lets not forget at the other end leaders liverpool play Manchester City tomorrow. Today, chelsea host Crystal Palace in the early game. An interesting one in the evening kick off as leicester whove had a great start to the season take on arsenal whove struggled for consistency. And there could be an interesting reception for saracens today as they play for the First Time Since being found guilty of breaching premiership rugbys salary cap. Theyre taking on gloucester away. Just the one game in the premiership last night as sale beat wasps 28 18 thanks to the du preez brothers. Dan scored sales only try and his brother rob kicked five penalties. And in the pro 14, edinburgh beat dragons 20 7 Blair Kinghorn with the first of their two tries. Theres a big game to come this morning, in less than half an hour, Great Britain lions will play new zealand in their Rugby League Test match in christchurch. They were narrowly beaten last weekend. But if theyre hoping to make amends, theyre missing more key players with zac hardaker among those out through injury. Theres coverage on bbc two right now. Great britain have a chance at three more medals on saturday at the world para athletics championships. Sammi kinghorn couldnt defend her title in the t53 100 metres but after onlyjust returning from surgery a couple of months ago, she was encouraged by a bronze medal. Idid not i did not have any expectation coming in. I had seven weeks off through the season. It was just that i would come here and it was amazing to be back in team colours and to race for my country. I dont know if there was anything else i could have done to get any higher. So i am very happyjust to done to get any higher. So i am very happy just to have done to get any higher. So i am very happyjust to have a middle around my neck.

For nearly 30 years, the berlin wall divided communities and separated families. It was heavily guarded and many died trying to escape from communist east germany, to reuinite with relatives in the west. Bbc newsround has been to meet one man who survived that dangerous journey. Being under total isolation overnight when the eastern soldiers started to build fences and then barbed wire barriers and you knew from that day we could not move from east to west and back anymore. What was it like to live in a divided city . The east German Government believe they could do with you whatever they want. To say to people how to think and how to live. What was it like trying to escape and what happened . The next day started and the vehicle that brought me through the cheque point alpha and then i was in the west and i was very happy to be in the west. From the first day i had to think about what to do now to get either out. She was smuggled out in the trunk of a vehicle that came through the cheque when charlie. I had the key for a trunk and opened it and the girl that came out became your grandmother. Marion loeffler was in berlin on the night the wall fell. Shes here with us now. You are sharing some of your story with us a moment ago. You are 23 yea rs old with us a moment ago. You are 23 years old when the wall came down but your home in east berlin, the home you grew up in was just a short distance away. Yes. I grew up about 1. 5 miles from the berlin wall and from the back of my Primary School across the field we could see the wall. It was a little different from what we see with the pictures usually. It was just a white stripe and a very Green Landscape because where i grew up was relatively rural. What does it mean to you . As a child having been born after it was built it did not mean all that much. It did mean that people like my mother where they had once just cycled over now took much longer for her cousins or her relatives to come over because they had to go to a crossing point. Of course it also meant we could not visit our relatives in sweden, although my uncle then invited my father to go elk hunting every autumn. Otherwise it did not mean all that much because, of course, we shared one language. We could watch west german tv and we had west german radio so i just had a relatively normal ringing. As it child your ranges so much smaller and if you want to go swimming fishing cycling, commit mischief, you dont think about politics. In the film you saw a moment ago, there was an east german resident talking about people trying to escape and the tunnels that we had heard of. What did you know about that when you were growing up . I knew that some of the children in my class whose houses basically, the garden was not that far from the wall, that they had their place regularly searched just in case. And later in the 19805 regularly 5earched just in case. And later in the 19805 my parents would need a license to go visit those hou5e5. Need a license to go visit those houses. The 19805, you know, it was a time of the great cold war, the nuclear arm5 a time of the great cold war, the nuclear arms race. And conditions in the gdr became more prosperous but, on the other hand, it became politically, the two sides hardened. How did the mood change when the wall came down . I was there i was with my boyfriend at the time in a cafe when we were discussing politics and everybody cycled a lot, we all cycle a lot so we cycled there and on the street people had ju5t, um, it was not quite like that, people were not climbing over the wall, it was a bridge with a lot of people and pictures and it was extremely exhilarating. It was exciting. Everybody was hugging each other and people were popping champagne bottles. We asked a soldier, a young guy who was standing there, like many people he said we want to go over and have a look, will you let us . He said i dont really care. I have no idea what is happening. So we locked our bikes and went over and we went to one of the major shopping streets in western europe first and, to be perfectly honest, it made me feel physically a little sick because of all the lighting. People always say that the east is great i grew up in the countryside. It was green. We had to go back underground, back to working class area which was much more like the east, in the west. So the roads were not all paved with gold as it was built, so to speak . No, it was not. And to be honest, the movement leading up to the fall of the wall had been about reforming east germany, not about bringing the wall down. For me it is one of those big unplanned relatively unplanned events in history because it was not supposed to happen that way. Quite interesting to hear your reflections. Lovely to meet you. Ben has the weather and we have been talking a lot about heavy rain in the past few days and the flooding and the impact it has had and the impact it has the past few days and the flooding and the impact it has had and ben, you are looking at the clean up operation beginning in many parts of the country . The problem is the water comes down from the sky but it ta kes a water comes down from the sky but it takes a while to work through the River Systems so there are still plenty of flood warnings in force, the last time i checked, seven severe flood warnings and all of them on the river don. You can read about them on the bbc weather website. There is more rain in the forecast for today but hopefully not too much for those areas that have already been affected by flooding. And it is for most of us a cold and frosty start. This is the radar, showing the rain has already been falling into you can see a stripe of wet weather putting in from the west, already soggy across Northern Ireland and the rain fringing into wells in the south western ahead of it fog content with across parts of the south east and up into the midlands and it is a cold and frosty start. In amongst the rain bent over high ground of whales who are likely to see sleet and snow mixing in, above 200 metres, you could get a covering of snow. Northern england starting dry, crucially, but the rain affecting the eastern side of Northern Ireland could be enough rain here today to cause localised flooding. The rain just rain here today to cause localised flooding. The rainjust fringing into south west scotland, some showers across northern scotland but for many parts of scotland, it is a driver rather cold start of the day with temperatures for some dropping as low as 7 over last night. The further east and north you are, the more in the way of dry weather and a band of rain with hill snow works its way east and particularly heavy burst of rain through the middle of the day for the Channel Islands, thenit the day for the Channel Islands, then it stalls across central southern england so this is another area of concern, some poor travelling conditions and may be localised flooding, putting a few fla kes localised flooding, putting a few flakes of sleepiness mixing and cross Higher Ground over the midlands, north west england, another chilly day for many and breezy as well, towards the south west. Through this evening and tonight further rain to come across southern england and south wales. It will tend to drift away south through the night. Some showers were north seacoast but generally the northern half of the uk will have clear skies overhead. Another cold night, maybe down to 4 also across parts of scotland. Welded down to the south because here tomorrow morning we will have the cloud, the showery rain to content with. It will clear fairly quickly and actually thought remembrance sunday it is not looking bad at all, most places fine with plentiful sunshine, one or two showers peppering northern scotland and north seacoast, extra cloud into Northern Ireland later in the day. Stays chilly, 7 10, chile and unsettled through the week ahead but as far as the weekend, rain for some of us, hopefully not too much for those places so badly affected by the flooding. Back to you. Ben, thank you, see you later. Now its time for click with spencer kelly. In towns and cities across the uk, a Tech Revolution is slowly being born. One antenna at a time. Bit by bit, 5g is becoming a thing, and while all the infrastructure might look a bit dull, take a look at this. This is a speed test to this phone, which right now is getting data speeds of 390mbps. Not bad yeah, this new network is going to be so fast that well be able to download in a heartbeat and stream video to multiple devices at once. In order to allow this to properly take off, with high speed and minimal delay, were going to see lots of new antennas, each serving small areas. And some of them may use much higher frequency radio waves than previous mobile networks. But having these antennas everywhere has given some people pause for thought. They believe that 5g radio waves could cause Health Problems and theyre campaigning for the rollout to be halted. Now, this protest group is small but vocal, and it does seem to be growing, so paul carter went to brighton to meet some of the anti 5g movement. Chanting prove that its safe hove, near brighton. Chanting say no to 5g say no to 5g it may not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking of the front line of protest. Chanting prove that its safe but campaigners here are making theirfeelings known about plans to introduce 5g masts in the area. Chanting what do we want . A ban when do we want it . Now the world health organization, Public Health england, and the nhs all say theres no sufficient evidence to say 5g poses a risk to health. However, that has done little to placate campaigners. Earlier this year, one parliamentary petition calling for more research into 5g attracted more than 29,000 signatures. So what are their concerns . Public Health England and the government say that 5g and electromagnetic frequencies are safe because they all fall underneath the level of the International Safety guidelines. However, there are huge issues with the safety guidelines. Theres a great big gaping black hole. What the safety guidelines will tell you is whether your mast will burn or heat you, but what it wont tell you is all of these Health Effects that are known by science to be linked to electromagnetic frequency radiation. Who decides who is guinea pigs . Who is deciding to roll this out, and on who . Who are going to be the lab rats, the lab mice, whatever you want to call us, because its not safety tested . If someone said to me, fact, 56 is safe. If our government came to me and said, fact, 56 is safe. Fact, its been tested by the telecoms industry, i probably wouldnt have the concerns that i have. But to me, theres no fact there from them. The industry, however, have a very different view. Campaigners will say 5g hasnt been tested, and if its not been tested, it shouldnt be rolled out. What do you say to that . I hear that line a lot and it fundamentally misunderstands what 5g is. 5g uses technologies that have been in use in all countries for decades now. The type of frequencies that are used, the radio waves that they are using, theyre the same ballpark of radio waves that have been used and tested, tested and tested, for decades. The technology that goes into the antennas doesnt fundamentally change the way that those radio waves behave. So whilst it looks and feels like a Brand New Technology from a marketing perspective, its roots are actually, you know, inherent mobile Radio Technology thats been tested and used for decades now. What is happening here is very similar to the smoking. The actual Health Effects, the actual science, was hidden. And this is exactly what is happening here. 56 is highly, highly unlikely to cause more cancers than 2 4g, and there isnt much evidence of an increased risk for 2 46, if any. Its not the new tobacco. It is not the new asbestos. That just simply isnt true. But despite the weight of scientific evidence, the anti 56 movement is growing. Similar groups have been popping up in other areas around the world, fuelled by social media and the internet. Back in hove, the campaigners had the opportunity to present their concerns to counsellors. Exposure to 56 radiation will be 24 7, 365 days a year, without our informed consent. Nationally, Public Health england provide expert advice on Public Health matters associated with radiofrequency electromagnetic fields or radio waves used in telecommunications. The implementation and regulation of 56 technology is a national responsibility. Chanting save our children is there anything from this point that they can say that will convince you this is safe . Yeah, they could put their case. But the independent scientists and the actual science needs to be properly heard as well. Ultimately, is this a battle you can actually win . There will always be a small number of individuals who do not want to hear from large corporations like us. And there will always be a huge group of people who dont have any concerns about this technology. There might be a group in the middle who could be swayed, and i think thats the group that where, yeah, there is a battle to be won, if you like, we do need to make sure those people have access to the right information, but they can make an informed decision and not be misled by what is some pretty aggressive scaremongering. That was howard jones talking to paul carter. And to try and address the concerns of those who may still be undecided, we have come to this rooftop in london to take some measurements from a 56 transmitter. And we have drafted in some independent experts to help. Dr Richard Findlay is an electromagnetic field safety specialist, and hes going to be measuring the strength and frequency of the radio waves at different distances from the mast. So, first, were going to put the probe right up on the middle of the transmitter. Yes. 0k. Lets go. The middle, coming down. And your maximum reading was. . 550. 551. 6 . So basically, if you were to strap yourself to that transmitter, three metres up there, youd be getting five times the guidelines. Yes, youd be overexposed. Ok, but nobodys going to do that. No. Ok, so shall we go over there . What would you say, two or three metres in that direction, and see how the signal drops off . Yep. There we go. Oh, wow 14. 5. So even over the last distance, weve gone from weve gone down by a factor of, what is that . Thats more than 50 times . Yeah, 550 down to 14. 5, so. Ok, down to less than a fifth of the government safety guidelines. Yes. Right, time to try and make sense of those readings with physicist and cancer researcher david grimes. So, we have seen there that the power drops off really, really quickly as you move away from the transmitter. Absolutely, and that is what you would expect. As you get further and further away from a source of light, which, of course, radiofrequency really is even if we cant see it the drop off is really, really rapid. And by the time you are even at an appreciable distance away from any kind of transmitter, it is way more likely that your phone itself is going to be emitting a lot more than any of these transmitters are. Do you think one of the worries about 56 is that there is talk of using higher frequency radio waves . Absolutely. I think people have an intuitive understanding that higher frequency is higher energy. But i think what people need to be aware of is that this kind of radiation is still very, very non ionising. What that means is it doesnt have the fundamental energy to liberate an electron and cause damage. If you want to cause, say, cancers and things like that, you typically need to cause that kind of dna damage. And the new 56 spectrum is very low energy. It is much lower energy than visible light. But more than that, the biophysics itself, the mechanics of how you might develop a cancer or something, we know that this kind of radiation is not ionising. It cannot cause the level of dna damage that you typically expect or need to cause cancer. And so, for that reason, the combination of epidemiological evidence and biophysical evidence, we dont have any current cause for concern. That being said, it is always good to observe and keep an eye on trends to see what might emerge, but we dont expect anything will. So there you go, some real science which i hope has helped you to understand how safe 56 signals are. And just for extra information, were now taking a reading at head level here on the roof, right next to the 56 transmitter. And the number is kind of bouncing around the 2 mark. So even if you were walking on a rooftop next to a 56 transmitter, as we are, you are still 50 times below the recommended safety level. Thats it for the shortcut of click this week. The full length version is up on iplayer right now, and dont forget, we live on social media on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter, bbcclick. Thanks for watching, and well see you soon. This good morning. Welcome to breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Our headlines today the impact of 24 hours of torrential rain in Northern England begins to emerge. One woman has died, thousands now face the task of cleaning up flooded homes and businesses. Catastrophic bushfires in eastern australia have killed at least two people and forced thousands from their homes authorities warn the worst of it isnt over. And as germany marks 30 years since the fall of the berlin wall, we speak to some of the people whose lives were changed in a few momentous days. And wembley awaits. With a record crowd expected at the National Stadium as englands women prepare to take on germany. Good morning. It has been the cold est good morning. It has been the coldest night of the autumn so far with temperatures in parts of scotla nd with temperatures in parts of scotland close to minus seven degrees. After a frosty start, some of us will see rain today, hopefully not too much for areas that have had major flooding and i will have all them details later here on brea kfast. Its saturday the ninth of november. Our top story. A clean up operation is underway in parts of Northern England afterflooding caused by a months worth of rain fall in just one day. There are currently seven severe flood warnings in place along the river don near doncaster. The River Derwent peaked at record levels last night, causing fears it would break its banks and flood the city of derby, as jane Frances Kelly reports. Normal life has been put on hold here in matlock, which was hit hard by the torrential rain. Dirty brown water flowed through the town centre, flooding homes, disrupting businesses and submerging cars. Not farfrom here, in rowsley, a woman died after being swept into the River Derwent. Yesterday, the Prime Minister visited matlock to meet Emergency Personnel and to see some of the damage for himself. The city centre in derby was also brought to a standstill as floodwater began to inundate surrounding streets. Council workers want business to prepare for the worst. In worksop in nottinghamshire there were similar disruption as floodwater spread throughout the town. Not far away in mansfield, a cliff gave way. The landslide led to 35 homes being evacuated. In doncaster, rescue boats on standby all night. The river don running through the town burst its banks. Communities pulled together to salvage belongings. People said the floodwater spread quickly and they are now counting the cost. I was helping my neighbour move everything upstairs and then her grandson came and helped me with the sandbags. We just all pull together, it is what you have to do. Transport has been badly disrupted. Trains are left stranded due to submerged tracks while roads have been closed or are barely passable. Although water levels are slowly dropping, flooding can be seen for miles around. Health and childcare take centre stage today, as the Political Parties continue their general Election Campaigns. Labour is promising to open a thousand new sure start Childrens Centres in england as part of a 4. 5 billion pound investment package. The liberal democrats are also revealing plans for Free Childcare for working parents. Meanwhile, the conservatives say theyll fund the training of 3,000 more gps in england over the next five years. Lets get more on this from our Political Correspondent pete saull whos in our london newsroom. Pete tell us about the policies on child care first. Actually, tell us about the gps. It is difficult at the moment to get a gp appointment at your local surgery and the conservatives have recognised that that is an issue for many recognised that that is an issue for ma ny voters recognised that that is an issue for many voters across england. What they are saying today is that they will recruit, ultimately, 6000 new gps, 3000 will be trained, an extra 3000 will come from a mixture of being recruited from overseas and existing staff will also be retained as well. Ultimately that will lead to, by 2024, an extra 15 million appointments across england. This is an ambitious target. They made a similar promise it during 2015, they said there would be an extra 5000 gps working in the nhs by 2020. The latest figures that we have got, they are nowhere near meeting that target. So the attention for both labour and the liberal democrats today on child care. And this is a numbers game, isnt it . It is. If you were up early this morning with a young baby or young child, the labour party and the liberal democrats after your vote this morning, that is clear. Firstly they are saying that they will build an extra 1000 sure start centres. The was started by tony blair in 1997. A flagship policy for labour. The funding has been cut since the conservatives came to power in 2010. On childcare, labour say that for 2 four year olds, all working parents will be eligible for 30 hours of Free Childcare in the liberal democrats are going one step further saying it should be 35 hours and working parents of children as young as nine months should be eligible for that. All of this comes at a cost so there is a call for clarity from those parties on how this would work. Thank you very much. Huge wildfires are continuing to sweep across eastern australia, leaving at least two people dead and hundreds of homes destroyed. Firefighters are warning strong winds and a continuing drought could make the situation worse. Our correspondent, phil mercer, joins us now from sydney. Good to see you. Some of the pictures of the firefighters going through these wildfires, it is so frightening. It is. Some of the words being used to describe these huge outbreaks are monstrous blaze, a beast of a blaze stop when you see those images, those photographs, those images, those photographs, those descriptions are entirely apt. These are fast moving balls of flame, often many metres high people who are in the vicinity often describe the noise as a free train ora describe the noise as a free train or a jetliner, such as the volume of these fires. The noise comes from these fires. The noise comes from the flames devouring the vegetation. Australia is a land use to natures extremes but the speed the breadth and the ferocity of these places, especially in New South Wales, has taken many especially in New South Wales, has ta ken many people especially in New South Wales, has taken many people by surprise. We just heard from the New South Wales state premier and she says that this fire crisis in australias most populous state is unprecedented. On friday we had 17 emergency alert. Today that number has dropped to five yet the danger still persist. 150 homes, at least, destroyed in New South Wales and, tragically, two people killed. We understand one of the ms was a 69 year old grandmother. It is horrific what we are hearing. Thank you very much, phil. Today marks 30 years since the fall of the berlin wall. It ended decades of division between communist Eastern Europe and the west. Special commemorations to mark the occasion will take place across berlin. It is eight minutes past seven. And will have the weather for us a little later on but we will return to the story where the weather has affected many places in the north east of england. And in the midlands after a month worth of rain fell in one day. Heading out to matlock which has been badly affected in the town is facing a cleanup operation. Our reporter is there for us this morning. Are you having a sense of how badly the town was affected this morning . Yes. We are getting a bit of an indication. It is still early days. Early hours of the morning but we are starting, as the light starts to appear we are starting, as the light starts to appearwe are are starting, as the light starts to appear we are starting to see just how the town was affected. If you look over here, on the face of it it may look like a normal town on a normal day. But if you look closely at the doorways you can see the sandbags all stacked up there at each doorway. And if you go over to this side, they are stacked up quite high there. At quite a high level. And if i take you round to the butcher shop here you can see the debris and the detritus of all the rubbish left soggy and ruined left by the flood there. More sandbags there. That is sort of an indication of the cleanup operation, the surface of it, really, that is about to begin. This morning i am joined bya to begin. This morning i am joined by a few gentlemen who have appeared on this cold and frosty morning. We have the mayor of matlock and martin rodwell, a local cafe owner. Martin, how is your cafe affected . Rodwell, a local cafe owner. Martin, how is your cafe affected . |j rodwell, a local cafe owner. Martin, how is your cafe affected . I came here at the past seven yesterday morning and there was two foot of water in there. I got inside and it just kept increasing until midday when it ended up about a metre of water and everything was floating. Were you able to get into see how bad it was . I borrowed some waders, yes. How high was it . Enough to cause a lot of damage inside. Have you been affected like that before, previously . Weve been here for five years and it was quite a shock when we arrived this morning. Yesterday morning. Do you have any idea of what sort of damage we are talking about . How much might it cost and how long will it take to repair . No idea of the cost. Weve lost everything all the electronics so it is quite a disaster, really. It must feel devastating. It does feel horrible, yes. But we have spent five years building the cafe up and making it successful and everything will now go in the skip and we will start again. It isjust one of those things, really. You sound quite resilient but how long will it take you . I dont know. I am in a better mood today than i was yesterday but i dont know. A few days at least before we can think about opening again and hopefully we can. Good luck with the cleanup operation there, martin and hopefully you can get back on your feet soon. David, we heard how awfully martin has been affected. Is that a similar story elsewhere what you have heard . Affected. Is that a similar story elsewhere what you have heard . |j elsewhere what you have heard . think he has been affected particularly badly. There is another cafe on the part that is also affected badly as well. The county counsel has pledged £100,000 to cover a ll counsel has pledged £100,000 to cover all of derbyshire for the Small Businesses that have been affected by flood damage. So we hope that some of the businesses in matlock will be able to benefit from that. How many businesses do you think have been affected . We heard ofa think have been affected . We heard of a few cafes but how bad is it there . Somebody estimated 25 or 30 last night. So all of the businesses behind you have been affected from Marks Spencer is down to a little shop that opened just yesterday and opened to floodwater, unfortunately. Quite large number of businesses of different sizes. Some trains and some local. You told me earlier that the flood defences have eased the impact of what could have been much worse. Indeed. Behind us we have the park which was a designated flood area and there were flood defences around that, they held and they kept the floodwater at bay and stop the Football Ground from being flooded and housing further upstream from being flooded. We are grateful that that happened. But on bakewell road, the opposite happened. We will need to look at that in the future. Thank you and thank you to martin as well. This gives you just a little sense of how this town has been affected and how they will have to start rallying. Some areas are more badly affected than others and how they will have to start with the cleanup operation today. Thank you very much. And how easy will that cleanup be in terms of the weather . Lets find out from ben. Good morning and thank you. The weather, for those areas that have had so much flooding does not look too bad today. Could be some rain but we hope those parts of Northern England in the north east midlands should escape the worst. Rain is one element of our weather story today but there are plenty of elements, quite a complex day of weather for some we are starting off with mist and fog, especially for parts of the midlands in the south east. A widespread frost this morning and then, yes, heavy rain for some but not for all. There are still flood warnings in force, of course. A number of severe morning still on the river don and you can read about those on the weather website. The radar picture shows most of the rain so radar picture shows most of the rain so far across radar picture shows most of the rain so far across western radar picture shows most of the rain so far across western parts of the uk. Very wet at the moment across Northern Ireland with rain starting to reach into wales in the south west. A header that through the south east and the midlands, thatis the south east and the midlands, that is where we have patchy fog to start the day. Some of the fog is quite dense so remember that if you are out and about. The south west of england, whether through the morning, as to this wales but over high ground there will be some snow, above 200 metres, say. You could see above 200 metres, say. You could see a covering of snow through today. Some of the rain tried to reach north west england. It stays soggy across the eastern side of Northern Ireland. Some rain fridges into south west scotland and showers across north and east of scotland. But many parts of scotland start the day dry and bright. But rather chilly. As we go on through the day, the band of rain in the west will work its way eastwards with some heavy burst for a time across the Channel Islands and then in the late morning that rain will then stall across parts of central and southern england on the south midlands, could be localised flooding here. Soggy across Northern Ireland as well. Something brighter into wales in the south west later. Braced winds here in the best of the dry weather to be found across the eastern and northern parts of the uk was just a couple of showers. It is a chilly day for most of us. As we go through this evening, rain will linger for day for most of us. As we go through this evening, rain will lingerfor a time across the cell. Could have some snow mixing in over the high stills in the midlands, maybe in the hills of southern england. To the north, Northern England and Northern Ireland, scotland is largely dry and clear night and another very cold one with damages in some parts of scotla nd one with damages in some parts of scotland reaching minus four degrees. It is cold in the south because here we have that extra cloud and we have some outbreaks of showery rain. However that should tend to clear away quite quickly during tomorrow morning. A couple of showers peppering northern and eastern coast but tomorrow, remembrance sunday, not about day. There should be a lot of dry weather and spells of sunshine, better cloud into Northern Ireland later on in the day and top which is 26 and 11 degrees. There is some rain and forecast this weekend but not for all of us are not all the time. It is 16 minutes past seven. The fall of the berlin wall 30 years ago brought to an end years of conflict and divide. Today, special services in berlin will mark what many believe to be one of historys most important moments. Our correspondentjenny hill is there for us now. Good morning. Good morning to you. There is perhaps still no greater symbol of division on this. There is not much left of the berlin wall today. You can see a bit behind me here. There are a few section of the wall Still Standing here in berlin. And it is here in a few hours time that Angela Merkel will lead commemorations of an iconic moment in 20th history, a day which shaped the world, as we know it today. In broad daylight, with the world watching, east berlin became a prison, its citizens sealed off from friends and family in the west. The regime called itself a democratic republic. In truth, the gdr spied on its own people, curtailed theirfreedoms. And this man wanted out. Hartmut escaped to west berlin across the canal controlled by bodyguards. Translation it took me four hours. It was more diving than swimming. There were dogs, voices, but i think i had a guardian angel. I heard a dog panting close but thank god, i was hidden in the reeds. I was afraid my chattering teeth would give me away. I thought thats it. They are going to shoot me now. Scores of people died trying to escape. Few imagined the gdr would end like this. Cheering and applause. November 9th, 1989. After weeks of protest, the regime came tumbling down. No one died, no blood was shed, but this revolution left scars nonetheless. Even Angela Merkel, who herself grew up behind the iron curtain, admits there are still profound inequalities between germanys east and its west. Growing discontent souring the tone of the celebrations. This installation a chance for people to air their fears, hopes and visions. This is, of course, first and foremost, a day of celebration and commemoration. But the political leaders who will gather here know that this country, europe itself, is in some ways still deeply divided, and that they themselves are increasingly under pressure to address those divisions. For hartmut, it is an important day too. Though he will be thinking of another date that of his escape. Translation i have always celebrated august 27, 1966 more than my own birthday. That was liberation. My escape from the regime. My disdain for that regime has neverfaded. Lives lost, freedoms won. A country redefined. And 30 years on, a people still trying to make sense of it. You know, the ninth of november is a really special day for this country but this time around, 30 years on, there is a sense that something is rather different and that is to do first of all with the fact that there are still inequalities between there are still inequalities between the east and the west. Angela merkel herself admit that there are those differences. They do provoke a lot of discontent. Wages are lower in the east, generally speaking, and fewer opportunities and the far right is really managed to put down roots in the old east and it is something that increasingly there are demands for people like Angela Merkel to address. But i think this anniversary too is prompting some soul searching on perhaps a wider scale too and that is because arguably, the values, the alliances upon which the west has relied for the past 30 years are, in some ways, no longer really guaranteed. There are concerns too about new emerging global divisions. Mike pompeo the us secretary of state is in town for the commemorations at in a speech yesterday he castigated russia and china, saying the authorities there are china, saying the authorities there a re really china, saying the authorities there are really threatening the freedoms which were so hard one decades ago. So it is going to be a really interesting day today, a lot of celebration but it will be tinged with concerns about the legacy of what happened 30 years ago and what happens in the future too. Jenny, thank you very much. Jenny is mentioning those events that are happening today, i think around 8 30, so as and when they happen, we will have them on breakfast for you this morning. The liberal democrats are promising more free child care places if they win the general election. They say it would boost the economy by enabling more parents to return to the workforce earlier, but do the figures add up . Lets speak to layla moran from the liberal democrats, who joins us from our london newsroom. Good morning and thank you for your time. Do you want to outline what it is you are proposing . This is 35 hours of childcare for all 2 four year olds for 48 weeks of the year, 35 hours being the average school day, so it makes sense, but then it would also and this is what is radical and knew about this from nine months up to two years old for families who work. At what cost . At what cost . The total cost is sizeable, £13. 6 billion, including the extra money that you give to people like scotland and Northern Ireland and wales. And it would be paid for by closing Corporation Tax and also taxing wealth as well as income but the point is is an investment in the future, money well worth spending and i think the other thing to point out is that many childcare providers tell us they cannot afford to do this. And so, included in the money is an uplift for the amount of money that they would get per hour to deliver high Quality Childcare that would make children work, you know, school ready but also give parents a real choice about if they want to go back to work or not and close that gender pay gap, which is one of the key drivers for productivity as well. We come back to how this may work in practice for parents in the moment but on the costing, it has become a habit for politicians now, when they are enormous sums of money talked about, and i think you said 14 billion, is that right . Or or less. The politicians and is we will get it off the rich people and i think you wealth tax . Can you explain more than that because people are very dubious when you say we can raise this money. It is easy. Wejust taxed some people and you wont even feel it. Oh, no, and i think it is clear to say it is about introducing progressive taxation. In the fully costed manifesto which will be launched, it is not a case of you do one thing and it pays for something else, this is part of a wider progressive tax policy that my collea g u es progressive tax policy that my colleagues Edward Davies the shadow chancellor will be outlining. But it is fully costed and will be fully costed and when we created this ma nifesto we costed and when we created this manifesto we are, jo swinson says she wants to be Prime Minister and it means we have to have a manifesto thatis it means we have to have a manifesto that is entirely fully costed and people are right to be sceptical about it and we will be offering our ma nifesto to about it and we will be offering our manifesto to independent people at the iff who will be deciding for themselves and compare all of the parties but the thing to also point out is the top line of our manifesto is to stop brexit ifs. Actually, it has an economic. If i may, can we go back to the wider point in just a moment. We go back to the wider point in justa moment. On we go back to the wider point in just a moment. On the childcare, ok, can we come back to that, saturday morning, a lot of people are watching who are doing exactly what you are talking about now, they need childcare and they are getting some Free Childcare as it stands, 30 hours a week as it stands now. Now, Free Childcare is not what it seems, is it . Is it actually the case that when you say childcare for x many weeks a year, 48 weeks a year, is free, or is it that when people go to the nurseries and try to get the childcare, there is a top up amount that, in practice at the moment, any pa rent that, in practice at the moment, any parent will know, they are actually paying a top up some . So will it be free or will they have to pay as well . So one of the reasons those top up sums are there is because many childcare providers cannot actually afford to deliver the high Quality Childcare on the amount of money that the government gives them right now. So included in our costings is an uplift of about 20 for 3 four year olds, it is higher than that, more than 30 for two year olds onwards and it will be higher than that for the younger ones because you have not bigger, so ones because you have not bigger, so small ratios of children to the number of adults in the room, and if you can do that, then we would expect that that would be then com pletely expect that that would be then completely included and people then wa nt to completely included and people then want to top up on top of that, more than 35 hours which is the average school day so it would be the same as if they got from when they go to school, then that would be their choice. Im sorry, ithink school, then that would be their choice. Im sorry, i think the word you used there, and it is important in this stage, we are in a general Election Campaign, you said you expect it to be free. Now that sounds on the face of it like a get out clause which is that we would expect it but it is not. Is this a pledge to someone watching this, that it will be free . No money would change hands. That would be what we would want them to do. Again, that is what we want. We cannot childcare providers themselves will decide the Different Levels that they offered to parents and if they offer extra things than that would be optional but we would expect, and pa rt be optional but we would expect, and part of this policy we are fully funding this, so that childcare providers who say well, you want us to provide this and you say it is free but it is not actually free because you have not given us enough money to be able to deliver it properly, we have included that and listened to childcare providers and this would be part of the costing, which is why this is one of our most expensive policies in our manifesto, it is because we are doing it properly and people are right to be sceptical about that but we have actually included all of this and the costing. Can i ask you about the liberal democratss position in relation to the debates . They are planned during the course of the general election. Indeed. We are obviously disappointed that the bbc have come out and said they would not include swinson in their head to head debate. We have also started, well, we are about to start legal settings with itv and we are happy that sky have included jo swinson in that and the reason for thatis swinson in that and the reason for that is because this is an election that is because this is an election that was caused because of brexit. So the idea that there is this remain voice, the bigger strongest remain voice, the bigger strongest remain party is the liberal democrats and jo swinson is the leader and the main voice is missing from those debates and it is not right, i think, from those debates and it is not right, ithink, in from those debates and it is not right, i think, in this particular political climate. Cannot be clear, you just said the legal action is now under way in relation to both itv and bbc . It is planned for itv andi itv and bbc . It is planned for itv and i do not know as yet about bbc but because the itv debate comes first it is the same arguments i would imagine the outcome of that initial case would have an impact on the next. One last thought. A lot of attention paid to the snps Nicola Sturgeon talking about the possibility of some kind of an arrangement with jeremy corbyn. Possibility of some kind of an arrangement withjeremy corbyn. She said she may be could have some kind of informal arrangement with jeremy corbyn, has ruled any kind of arrangement with Boris Johnson. Corbyn, has ruled any kind of arrangement with borisjohnson. Has arrangement with borisjohnson. Has a liberal democrat position on that changed . Not at all. Jo swinson has been clear there is no way that we are going to prop up eitherjeremy corbyn or Boris Johnson are going to prop up eitherjeremy corbyn or borisjohnson to be Prime Minister. Neither of them are fit to be Prime Minister and she is clear she would do a betterjob and i really do think she would. Thank you very much for your time this morning. 28 minutes past seven is the time. Headlines shortly. Hello. This is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Good morning. Heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. A clean up operation is under way in parts of Northern England, after a months worth of rainfall in just one day caused widespread flooding. There are currently seven severe flood warnings in place along the river don near doncaster. The River Derwent in derby peaked at record levels last night, prompting fears it would break its banks. Normal life has been put on hold here in matlock, which was hit hard by the torrential rain. Dirty brown water flowed through the town centre, flooding homes, disrupting businesses and submerging cars. Not farfrom here, in rowsley, a woman died after being swept into the River Derwent. Yesterday, the Prime Minister visited matlock to meet Emergency Personnel and to see some of the damage for himself. The city centre in derby was also brought to a standstill as floodwater began to inundate surrounding streets. Council workers want business to prepare for the worst. In worksop in nottinghamshire there were similar disruption as floodwater spread throughout the town. Not far away in mansfield, a cliff gave way. The landslide led to 35 homes being evacuated. In doncaster, rescue boats on standby all night. The river don running through the town burst its banks. Communities pulled together to salvage belongings. People said the floodwater spread quickly and they are now counting the cost. I was helping my neighbour move everything upstairs and then her grandson came and helped me with the sandbags. We just all pull together, it is what you have to do. Transport has been badly disrupted. Trains are left stranded due to submerged tracks while roads have been closed or are barely passable. Although water levels are slowly dropping, flooding can be seen for miles around. Health and childcare take centre stage today, as the Political Parties continue their general Election Campaigns. The conservatives say they will thunder the training of the thousands the conservatives say they will thunder the training of the thousands of the conservatives say they will thunder the training of the thousands of more the conservatives say they will thunder the training of the thousands of more gps the conservatives say they will thunder the training of the thousands of more gps in the conservatives say they will thunder the training of the thousands of more gps in england over the next five years. Huge wildfires are continuing to sweep across eastern australia, leaving at least two people dead and hundreds of homes destroyed. Firefighters are warning strong winds and a continuing drought could make the situation worse. Today marks 30 years since the fall of the berlin wall. It ended decades of division between communist Eastern Europe and the west. Special commemorations to mark the occasion will take place across berlin. The wall was heavily guarded. Gunther heinzel escaped from east germany with his wife. Hes been reflecting on those who didnt survive the dangerous journey. I think about these many people who were killed because they tried to do the same thing as my wife and i did. Nothing else. We should remember that this bad time has gone and we should think about how important it is to live in a system of freedom and democracy. Time now is 733. And time for all the sport. Looking forward to a good game today. A record attendance at wembley today for a landmark womens football game. England versus germany, virtually a sellout, 86,000 tickets have been sold. And it is amazing when you think about the fa ct amazing when you think about the fact that wembley opened in 2007 and they did not play a Womens International match there until 2014 full. To do that. In the length of the match. A lot of atmosphere and it will be dark. And that is what it will be like for the womens team to be playing in such an big stadium in front of such a huge crowd. Thank you forjoining us, casey. It will bea you forjoining us, casey. It will be a special day, wont it . Notjust for those involved but those in part of the record crowd. An incredible day for the womens game. I could not believe what i was seeing last night in terms of wembley and what it looked like. I didnt think i would ever see it in my lifestyle andi would ever see it in my lifestyle and i did not think would ever see it in my lifestyle and i did not think i would see it sold out and this is just a friendly, not even a competitive fixture. What an amazing day for the womens game. Im sure some of the record attendances in the olympics in 2012 played a part specially when we played brazil that was 70,000. Was for the olympics. This is a standalone match. In many ways this makes it very different, doesnt it . It does. I think it is a watershed moment for the womens game and this is about the players who have gone before who are present now and who have paved the way for this to happen and obviously there is an incredible story behind the lionesses in the world cup. It generates this interest and after a great performance a good win would be great to keep the fans coming back. As you mentioned, we saw the record viewing figures during the womens world cup that captivated the nation. You mentioned about what a special day it will be for some of the former players who never got the chance to play at the National Stadium. And it will be a special moment with many of them honoured before kickoff. And something that the current crop of players have alluded to, those who went before and blazed the trail and provided the platform for which they have been allowed to express themselves. Absolutely. When i see those players walk out there at half time pre game it will be a proud moment because they were not acknowledged nor got they were not acknowledged nor got the recognition and they did it all for the love of the game. They have full timejobs and for the love of the game. They have full time jobs and what they did was incredible to pave the way so those players can go out there and have opportunities today. Of course you will be one of the players honoured before kickoff alongside many other former players. That will be a nice touch. Yes. It is a nice touch. It is fantastic and it is great for those players and myself and i was lucky. I had my recognition that many players did not get that and they serve their country, gave up theirjobs at times and did it for theirjobs at times and did it for the love of the game. It is great for the fa to recognise that full charlie in the studio here listening in on this chart. This is england germany, can you talk us through that. All of these england germany matches have a special feel, dont they . They absolutely do. I always say they breed them differently in germany and they always seem to beat us. Germany and they always seem to beat us. I think england have only ever won one game in the history of this fixture so it is a big game today. The biggest name that england did win was a bronze medal against them in the world cup in 2015. This is a different germany side now going through a transition and it is a different england side so it will be a great test today. In the studio. There has been a lot of trap chat with Australia New Zealand and norway, the womens team getting equal pay with the mens team. Im just thinking, we have a sold out wembley now and isnt it obvious that people have bought into womens football and and enjoying it and learning from it. What about the equal pay issue here in the uk . Learning from it. What about the equal pay issue here in the uk7m learning from it. What about the equal pay issue here in the uk . Ifi am honest, iam realistic in equal pay issue here in the uk . Ifi am honest, i am realistic in terms of equal pay because until we sell out wembley time and time again, until we get commercial investment at the same level as the men, then i think we can talk about equal pay. The us team have every right to go for equal team if not more because they bring in more money to the Us Soccer Federation and should be paid more because of that. And they are fighting for that at the moment. Indeed. In the united states. It will be interesting today because the results of not really gone englands way lately, have they . It isa englands way lately, have they . It is a big match, notjust for the coach but for the players and they will want to put in a big performance. Absolutely. This is a big occasion but all of the players, all they want to do is win today. They know they need performance and honestly they have not been at their best over the last half a dozen games. They would say the performances after the world cup have not been good enough. They need to play a game and it is important to play a game and it is important to go out there and put on a performance that keeps the fans coming back. Great to speak to you casey and enjoy the match there at wembley today. That was the Manchester United womens manager and former england captain. Lets not forget the teams are building towards the womens euros here in 2021. Scotland made it two wins from two in qualfying by thrashing albania 5 0. It was comfortable throughout, this impressive finish from Christie Murray rounding off the win against the side who are bottom of the group. Northern ireland were beaten 6 0 by norway. In the premier League Watford are off the bottom. They beat norwich who replace them there. Gerard deulofeu giving them the lead just a minute in. Then substitute andre grey grabbed a second after the break for a 2 0 win Watford Holding on despite having a man sent off. Pointing us in the right direction is what we need to do to get results. You can believe in what were doing and everything this result is the first goal in sport, to win. And finally we found something positive. Theres a big game undreway in christchurch, Great Britain lions taking on new zealand. They are yet to win a match on this tour. Josef manu got the try for new zelaand. And new zealand are leading, gb are desperate to take something from this match with one game on the tour remaining against public new guinea. This matches live on bbc two right now. And there could be an interesting reception for saracens today as they play for the First Time Since being found guilty of breaching premiership rugbys salary cap. Theyre taking on gloucester away. Just the one game in the premiership last night. As sale beat wasps 28 18 thanks to the du preez brothers. Dan scored sales only try and his brother rob kicked five penalties. And in the pro 14, edinburgh beat dragons 20 7 Blair Kinghorn with the first of their two tries. Great britain have a chance at three more medals on saturday at the world para athletics championships. Sammi kinghorn couldnt defend her title in the t53100 metres but after onlyjust returning from surgery a couple of months ago, she was encouraged by a bronze medal. I did not have any expectation coming in. I had seven weeks off through the season. It was just that i would come here and it was amazing to be back in team colours and to race for my country. I dont know if there was anything else i could have done to get any higher. So i am very happyjust to have a medal around my neck. There was a gold for Great Britain at the track cycling world cup in glasgow last night a good sign with the olympics year. Katie archibald, elinor barker, neah evans, and Ellie Dickinson beat germany to win the womens team pursuit. Lora fachie won para b individual pursuit gold now there is a boxing bout with a difference taking place later. In the early hours of tomorrow two of the worlds biggest youtube superstars, will go head to head in the ring and not for the first time. Ks and logan paul are two youtubers with over 40 million subscribers and theyre promising to put on a performance when they get into the ring. Are they boxers . They are because it isa are they boxers . They are because it is a professional bout. What do they youtube . Psi does music and various things. His career was launched by posting videos of himself playing video games. It is amazing the stuff people put out there that others watch. Its out there, you look at them and they do stuff and they have a huge audience and huge fan base. But arent they rivals . Youtube rivals . And they have done professional style training in the run up to the bout. Professional style training in the runup to the bout. The last time they faced each other last year was not. But this one is now officially professional. This camp has pushed me to the edge, to where i had blood sweat and tea rs. To where i had blood sweat and tears. I have never worked so hard in my life. I have never worked so ha rd in my life. I have never worked so hard training in my life. in my life. I have never worked so hard training in my life. I think he will be hit in the dangerous amount of times. I think he will suffer some Severe Health repercussions. I am surprised your manager let you do this. When you say they are not professional, there is a that because in some ways there is this undermining the achievements of notified boxes who work at a discipline they are very skilled at. These guys are not and they would not go on and face a genuine boxer in the ring because of the threat to themselves. So to call them professionals, you are right, that is probably a little inaccurate. But it isa is probably a little inaccurate. But it is a professional bout. is probably a little inaccurate. But it is a professional bout. I suppose if they are going to call each other out and say lets fight about it, lest they are taking it seriously and not just taking lest they are taking it seriously and notjust taking it outside. And it could do for oxen because if they bring in viewers and an audience that they have and a few of them tune in later and then, in turn, watch more boxing in the future and that will help the sport. So depends which side of the fence you sit on. And at the centre, lets be honest, a lot of money. They are making an enormous amount. That is what it boils down to. We will see you later on. Thank you. Heres ben with a look at this mornings weather. We are getting very familiar with those pictures of the flooding. Absolutely, large parts of the uk, many of you who do not want any more rain, there is some in the forecast but im hopeful those flood affected areas will avoid the worst of it. Talking of, there are many flood warnings in force, seven severe warnings in force, seven severe warnings on the river don, read about those on the bbc weather website. As i mentioned, more rain for some of us. But is not all of the weather story of today, there is a lot going on and for some of us, frost and fog this morning, really dense at the moment across some parts of the midlands and south east england, but is how it looked in west sussex, dry obviously where we have the fog but on the radar picture, you can see the band of rain starting to push its way in and very soggy rain starting to push its way in and very soggy at the moment across Northern Ireland and the rain getting into the south west of england and wales and ahead of it you can see those lumps of freezing fog affecting some parts of south east england and the midlands, so bear that in east england and the midlands, so bearthat in mind east england and the midlands, so bear that in mind if you are out and about on the road. Rain in the west, also some snow mixing and over Higher Ground in males wales up above 200 metres, a covering. Some will try to get into north west england, very wet indeed for the eastern side of Northern Ireland. The further north and east you are across scotland, one or two showers that many parts of scotland darting dry with some sunshine. Those are the different weather elements we are contending with. How does it shape through the day . The band of rain trucks east but as you see, not much of it gets towards those parts of yorkshire and the east midlands that have had so many flooding problems. The heaviest rain be further south instead, central southern england and for a time across the Channel Islands and also it is wet because the eastern side of Northern Ireland. Easy for whales in the south west but it should brighten later. Further east and north you are, the better chance of staying dry but chilly forjust about all of us. This evening, the rain will persist across the midlands and southern england. Could bea midlands and southern england. Could be a bit of sleep, maybe some snow mixed in over the very highest hills here. Further north, largely dry with clear skies and a chilly night across the Northern Isles of the uk. Temperatures in parts of scotland easily down to 3 4 but not as cold in the south because of the cloud and the showery rain but it should attempt to clear southward quite quickly to ring tomorrow. For remembrance sunday, it is looking like a pretty decent day, largely fine with long spells of sunshine. Winds relatively light, one or two showers peppering northern and eastern coast and some extra planning to Northern Ireland late in the day and it is still rather chilly with temperatures between seven and 11. Certainly not raining all of the time this weekend but there seven and 11. Certainly not raining all of the time this weekend but there is some in the forecast. It is not officially winter yet, is it . It feels like it it is the first of december as far as meteorologist are concerned. We have a little while to go but actually through this week, through this autumn week, it is going to stay quite chilly. Thank you ben, we will see you later. It is 40 minute 47 minutes past seven. Now its time for newswatch with samira ahmed. Hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. Rows about who said what and misleading editing on Campaign Films how is the bbc dealing with the heat already being generated in this general Election Campaign . And what do viewers want to see from the bbcs election coverage over the next five weeks . You mightve thought it had begun long ago already, but wednesday marked the official start of the general Election Campaign. And in news coverage, the initial focus was largely on the conservatives and on Boris Johnson. He may have waited his life for this, but is he ready for what waits . Cameras click. A cacophony wherever he goes. Cameras click. A leader who irritates but can inspire. Good afternoon. A risk taker asking for you to put faith in him. Michael mcdonald thought he knew what to expect from the audience reaction this week. Well, those complaints have certainly been coming in, with the initial focus on the troubled start to the conservative campaign. On the morning of its launch, the welsh secretary alun cairns resigned over claims he knew about a former aides role in the sabotage of a rape trial. And on tuesday, the leader of the house Jacob Rees Mogg apologised after comments he had made about the Grenfell Tower fire. The way that story was reported on the bbc annoyed maria shortall, who thought Chris Wilkins agreed, writing that was one of the topics on the agenda for louise minchins interview on wednesdays breakfast with the conservative Party Chairman james cleverly, as was the way his party had edited an interview with shadow brexit secretary keir starmer in a version put out by them on social media. The full form interview showed the labour partys position on brexit was chaotic, they are talking about. How do people trust you when conservative Party Headquarters is putting out and you say its humorous, but some people will not have may not have known at that point that it had been edited. How do people trust the conservative party when their twitter account is putting out information like that. It is so obvious that it is edited. Following that encounter, those watching were encouraged by the breakfast presenters to give their feedback, and many did. David from southampton wrote but that was a minority view of viewers who contacted newswatch. Wendy cockburns was more typical. And a viewer called roger agreed. Later in the week, the heat was turned on the labour party with the resignation of its deputy leader tom watson being widely reported. It was swiftly followed by former minister ian austin who resigned from the party in february, saying thatjeremy corbyn was, in his words, completely unfit to be Prime Minister. That line featured in the headlines on thursdays news at one. Vote conservative the call from a former labour mp who urges people to vote for Boris Johnson instead ofjeremy corbyn, who he says is completely unfit to lead the country. Again, there were objections this time from the other side of the political divide that bbc news was making something out of nothing. David fallows asked and from Patricia Ann Cusack lets look forward now and discuss what the bbc should be focusing on in the five weeks until polling day. With me are two viewers who have their own suggestions, keith feeley and holly holman. Holly, first, its gonna be a christmas election. Whats on your Christmas Wish list in terms of the coverage you would like to see . Erm, well, i feel that this election is really about brexit thats the reason were having an election, why it had to be called so i think as much as id like to see other issues discussed, for me brexit is the main thing, and ifeel it is a Good Opportunity to hear from experts. We havent heard a lot from experts in business, perhaps manufacturing and import export people or retail and other areas you know, the military, agriculture, fisheries. So the idea is that they would be the people brought on to analyse the claims that politicians are making . Yeah, yes. Right. Well, not even to analyse the claims but to look at the pros and cons of whether we should be in the eu or out of the eu. 0k. Keith, the bbc does, as you know, have a Reality Check Team and a correspondent and a Fact Check Team on politics live. Do you think presenters could do more along these lines with politicians and their interviews, in terms of challenging what theyre promising . Very very much so. I mean, i come from a science background i was a Science Teacher for many years and i do get quite frustrated frequently because thing people are make claims, politicians in particular, and the journalists and the panellists, and very rarely, it seems to me is they are picked up and although andrew neil does it perhaps more than most. What evidence have you got for this . A particular example of that is perhaps with opinion polls. Ive carried out opinion polls for many, many times over decades and a fascinating thing for me is to try to say well, what range of people have you got there . How many people have been interviewed . Why have you come to that conclusion . And i feel that a lot of what happened, its improved with the reality and the fact check but i think theres still a long way to go. So youre really concerned about opinion polls being thrown around casually without an analysis of the methodology . Do you have a view about opinion polls, holly . Well, my only view is theyre often wrong, of course. We know that. Here and in the states, theyve been wrong the last few elections. But at the same time, i dont think the media can ignore them, because thats all weve got to go on, so they are important. Can ijust follow up . Sure, yeah. Because im confident the reason they are so frequently wrong is because theyre done so, shall i say, poorly or unscientifically, and therefore, i think that would be, you know, rectified if they were to have less of them, but to do them more effectively. Holly, you were saying earlier that you do think in a sense, this election is all about brexit. But there are other issues, too, arent you, that you think maybe should have more coverage . Yes. I mean, i were all very excited about the eu and maybe rightly so but, you know, actually, to me, there are things more important than whether were in the eu or out of the eu, and that one is Climate Change. So id like to see more on that. I think the media covered it when Extinction Rebellion were protesting and Greta Thunberg were over here and so on, it came up more it was more profile but i think yeah, there should be more, you know, Climate Change is serious, weve got to address it urgently. For me, one of the crucial parts of whats happened in this country is that we actually have a good historically democratic set of parties, but its almost as though weve slipped into a president ial election. Its almost as though, well, the leaders are autocrats, dictating what the parties should do. Well, it shouldnt be like that. You know, i have a big pack Team Background and really, what the parties should be about is the party decide the ways forward and the policies and thats what we should be voting for. Not the personalities, which it seems as though often, that comes across more than i think it should do. Which brings me to my final question, holly. Which isjust on friday, the bbc announced theyre going to have a series of live debates with different combinations of the leaders. And one isjust corbyn versusjohnson, one also had jo swinson and Nicola Sturgeon, and one has the seven main parties. Do you think theyre gonna help voters like you . Well, i think its very complicated because i think as far as brexit is concerned, its going to complicate the matter, the more split the vote becomes. We wont, you know the conservatives wont get a majority to get on with their agenda. But youre not worried about what keith was saying, this focus on the personality, maybe even the cult of the leader . Yeah, no, definitely, yeah. I think well, we used to vote more about for policies rather than the personality of the leader. But now, its shifted. Its the other way. We vote for the personality of the leader. And youd like the bbc perhaps to pull away from that approach . Oh, yes, definitely. Look at the policies more carefully and in detail. Thank you. Holly holman, keith feeley, thank you both. Pleasure. Finally, the news is full of noise, particularly at the moment, but sometimes, the most powerful moments of broadcasting can be full of silence. On friday, breakfast welcomed back harry billinge, the 94 year old war veteran who had spoken on the programme earlier this year about his plans to raise money to build a memorial to his colleagues who died in the d day landings. Naga munchetty showed him pictures of the memorial under construction in normandy. The work you are doing, its now concrete, its tangible, its there, you can touch it. Marvellous. Silence.

Welcome to breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Our headlines today. The impact of 24 hours of torrential rain in Northern England begins to emerge. One woman has died and thousands now face the task of cleaning up flooded homes and businesses. Catastrophic bushfires in eastern australia have killed at least two people and forced thousands from their homes Authorities Say the worst of it isnt over. And as germany marks 30 years since the fall of the berlin wall, we speak to some of the people whose lives were changed in a few momentous days. And wembley awaits. With a record crowd expected at the National Stadium as englands women prepare to take on germany good morning. It has been the coldest night of the autumn so far. Temperatures in parts of scotland are close to minus seven celsius. After a frosty start, some of us will see rain today. Hopefully not too much for those areas that have had such majorflooding. But i will have all the details later here on brea kfast. Its saturday the 9th of november. Our top story. A clean up operation is underway in parts of Northern England afterflooding caused by a months worth of rain fall in just one day. There are currently seven severe flood warnings in place along the river don near doncaster. The River Derwent peaked at record levels last night, causing fears it would break its banks and flood the city of derby, as jane Frances Kelly reports. Normal life has been put on hold here in matlock, it was hit hard by the torrential rain. Dirty brown water flowed through the town centre, flooding homes, disrupting businesses and submerging cars. Not farfrom here, in rowsley, a woman died after being swept into the River Derwent. Yesterday, the Prime Minister visited matlock to meet Emergency Personnel and to see some of the damage for himself. The city centre in derby was also brought to a standstill as floodwater began to inundate surrounding streets. Council workers warned business to prepare for the worst. In worksop in nottinghamshire there were similar disruption as floodwater spread throughout the town. Not far away in mansfield, a cliff gave way. The landslide led to 35 homes being evacuated. In doncaster, rescue boats on standby all night. The river don running through the town burst its banks. Communities pulled together to salvage belongings. People said the floodwater spread quickly and they are now counting the cost. I was helping my neighbour move everything upstairs and then her grandson came and helped me with the sandbags. We just all pulled together, it is what you have to do. Transport has been badly disrupted. Trains are left stranded due to submerged tracks while roads have been closed or are barely passable. Although water levels are slowly dropping, flooding can be seen for miles around. The town of matlock in the Peak District has been hit hard by the floods, with homes and business facing a huge clean up operation. Our reporter luxmy gopal is in matlock for us this morning whats the latest . Goodness, where are you . goodness, where are you . I am in the basement of a florist here in matlock. Take a look at this, dark brick work here and light brickwork here. This is where the water came to when it was flooded. That is at least five fit they are. You dont even need to imagine the destruction it has caused. This is the carnage that was reached when the water swept into the store room of the florist here. You can see ornamental pine cones because this was full of stock ready for christmas. We can speak to the owner robert now. How devastating is this . It is totally devastating. All our stock for christmas was down here, between five and £10,000 worth. I am not sure of the values, really. I am not sure of the values, really. I am not sure what we are going to do. We do a lot of individual work. I do not know what we are going to do at the moment. I have spoken to our wholesalers this morning and they are going to help us. We are going to sheffield to the wholesalers tomorrow and see where we are going tomorrow and see where we are going to go from there. What did it look like when he discovered the scene . set it yesterday morning at 2 30am. There was two feet of water down here. Stuff wasjust there was two feet of water down here. Stuff was just floating. It was too late. When people say what your travel in fast, it really does. I cannot believe it. Has anything happened to your business before like this . No, it hasnt. And how long will it take you to get back on your feet . Hopefully within one week. It is getting everything dried out and getting new stock and getting going again. This might affect your christmas sales . I think so. Affect your christmas sales . I think so. We will not have the selection for sale. We will get there. A great, resilient message. Thank you. That has been a message from a lot of the Business Owners we have spoken to. They are determined to be positive about it and try and get things back to normal. As you can see here, looking at the devastation, this isjust one example of many businesses here in matlock that have been ruined by the flooding. Where did that water actually come up to . Well, let me show you. If you look at the dark brickwork here in the light brickwork here in the light brickwork they are, there is a big colour difference. This is the watermark line. Nearly as tall as me. That is at least five fit there. That is where the water came up to yesterday. Goodness. That devastation. It really brings it home, doesnt it . Health and childcare take centre stage today, as the Political Parties continue their general Election Campaigns. Labour is promising to open a thousand new sure start Childrens Centres in england as part of a four and a half billion pound investment package. The liberal democrats are also revealing plans for Free Childcare for working parents. Meanwhile, the conservatives say theyll fund the training of 3,000 more gps in england over the next five years. Lets get more on this from our Political Correspondent pete saull whos in our london newsroom. Pete, tell us about the policies on child care first. This is such an important issue for so this is such an important issue for so many families. Labour and the liberal democrats on this one. Both of these two parties think it is a potential vote winner. Labour are targeting families of younger children with 1000 new centres they will open throughout the next parliament. They say this is reversing the cuts that have happened to those centres under the conservatives. When it comes to Free Childcare, they see under a labour government, parents of all two to four year olds will be eligible to Free Childcare. The liberal democrats have outbid the labour party on this, they say should be 35 hours per week. Also, they would start the agent from just nine months for some working parents as well. Of course, all of this will be very costly indeed. The liberal democrats told breakfast earlier on it will cost 14. 6 billion pounds. How would the liberal democrats pay for this . The total cost is sizeable. £146 for this . The total cost is sizeable. £14. 6 billion. For this . The total cost is sizeable. £146 billion. That would include the extra money to give people like scotland and Northern Ireland and wales. It will be paid for by closing Corporation Tax and also taxing wealth as well as income. The point is, it is an investment in the future, money well worth spending. Some issues that are close to peoples hearts this morning, the conservative talking about gps and doctors. It has become very, very difficult in recent years to get a gp appointment, and it has been quite challenging to recruit enough gps to work in the health service. A fresh pledge from the tories this morning to train up an extra 3000 doctors over the next five years. They would also, they say, give another further 3000 from recruiting from overseas and improving the retention rate of doctors and health service. I say this is pretty challenging because they made a similar promise in 2015, they made a similar promise in 2015, they said they would be 5000 extra doctors by 2020 and the are nowhere near, as things stand, to meeting that target. Thank you very much. Worth saying we will try and get some more detail on the conservative pledge and matt hancock from the conservatives joining us in pledge and matt hancock from the conservativesjoining us in around minutes time. Huge wildfires are continuing to sweep across eastern australia, leaving at least two people dead and hundreds of homes destroyed. Firefighters are warning strong winds and a continuing drought could make the situation worse. Our correspondent, phil mercer, joins us now from sydney. Whenever we have been talking and running the pictures, as you are well aware, the firefighters going through the flames and the pictures are terrifying. These are men and women who are risking their lives. They are, for the most part, volunteers. 1200 volunteer firefighters on the ground here in New South Wales. They are supported bya New South Wales. They are supported by a squadron of water bombing aircraft, including two huge ear cranes. These are giant helicopters capable of dropping an enormous amount of water or fire retardant on the fires. They are most definitely needed. This is a military style operation to try and protect firstly life, and also property. Due to the scale and the size and ferocity and the speed of these fires, more than 150 homes here in New South Wales have been destroyed. We have been hearing in the last couple of minutes that a third person has now been confirmed dead in what has been a catastrophic couple of days for two states here in eastern australia. That death toll has now gone up to three people. Yes, and one would imagine that as fire crews reached more remote areas or hard to reached more remote areas or hard to reach areas affected by this unprecedented bushfire emergency here in eastern australia, that death toll could rise even further. It is worth noting too that at its height there were 17 emergency alerts here in New South Wales on friday. The state has never experienced that sort of crisis when it comes to bushfires. Australia is the worlds driest inhabited continent and parts of south eastern australia are amongst the worlds must fire prone regions. This is a pa rt must fire prone regions. This is a part of the world that is now having to deal with the scale of bushfires as we have never seen to deal with the scale of bushfires as we have never seen before. Thank you very much. It is 11 minutes past eight. All of the weather causing conditions. Also the sport coming up withjohn. The fall of the berlin wall thirty years ago brought to an end years of conflict and divide. Today, special services in berlin, will mark what many believe to be one of historys most important moments. Our correspondentjenny hill is there for us now. Good morning. Good morning. Yes, 30 yea rs good morning. Good morning. Yes, 30 years after it fell, the berlin wall remains a powerful symbol of division. There is not much of it left these days. One of the few remaining segments is behind me. At one point, that vast structure of concrete and barbed wire divided the city, trapping east berliners in a repressive socialist regime. No one imagined when some of the citizens took to the street in 1989 that a peaceful revolution would follow. November the 9th1989, that wall came tumbling down. The socialist regime with it and that led to the fall of the entire iron curtain of that separate to make separated the east from the west. It was an extraordinary moment in 20th century history. The german chancellor is due to come here to the wall to lead a day of commemorations. It is an important day for her, she grew up behind the iron curtain. She was in berlin living behind the wall when it came down and it has shaped many of her approaches to politics today. It isa of her approaches to politics today. It is a day of celebration, commemoration, a day to mark that moment 30 years ago which, in many ways, shapely germany, the rip, the world to know today. Jenni, thank you very much. There are commemorations taking place around 8 30am. If we get those pictures, we will bring them to you. So what was it like growing up berlin at the time . Joining us now is marion loeffler, who lived on the east side. Good morning. And dr dot boughton, who lived in the west, joins us from our newcastle studio. A very good morning to you. I think you were seven living in the west when the wall came down, is that right . What were your recollections from the time . Not quite, i was 13 when the wall came down. I remember it being extremely weird. I suppose for a 13 year old or nearly 14 year old, it is not something thatis 14 year old, it is not something that is on your radar. You live with the status quo. That is what it was. I was very, very aware of the wall andi i was very, very aware of the wall and i was living in a walled city. Asi and i was living in a walled city. As i understand it, you were able, because you were in the west, to climb in the wall and look over to the zone and beyond, which no one was allowed in on the east side. Again, not quite. I dont think anybody would have allowed us to actually climb on top of the wall. I wonder if we would have got shot, possibly. We had some watchtowers, some towers at intervals along the wall. It is quite weird, i bit like what tourists get these days, where you can climb up and literally watch what was happening on the other side. You could see the death zone, the official east german watchtowers. It was quite, i suppose it was quite scary. It was bizarre really that you would have a wall dividing the city. For me, it was the status quo. It was the way things were. Tell us your experience. Listening to that experience. Listening to that experience from the west, you were in the east. Hello. I am ten years older. It was a little bit different for me. Anyway, we always talk about the other side of the wall, i grew up the other side of the wall, i grew up outside the berlin wall. The west berliners where for me, it were the we st berliners where for me, it were the west berliners who were locked in and ina west berliners who were locked in and in a way that confirms that. We we re and in a way that confirms that. We were looking at the wall from the outside and because i lived in a rural area, it wasjust outside and because i lived in a rural area, it was just a white strip ina rural area, it was just a white strip in a Green Landscape. Of course we we re strip in a Green Landscape. Of course we were not allowed to go close to the wall. I do remember cycling along the path 100 metres and waving at the soldiers in the watchtower. Our watchtower was where we st watchtower. Our watchtower was where west berlin was carting its rubbish into the east german countryside because that is how east germany made hard currency. Rubbish . Of course, west berliners had to get rid of their rubbish. They made a contract. There was an east German Company and the west berlin domestic rubbish was day in, day out, huge lorries, driven into the east german countryside close to where i lived. Fascinating from both of you. It was an extraordinary moment in the history. Also an note, the fascination of when that time came seeing people meeting people from the other side. Yes. We have relatives we had relatives on the eastern side and my dad especially was extremely happy when the ball came down, when all came to an end. He was born in 1940. He watched the wall being built. He grew up in berlin. He watched how the two sides developed and then i remember him being ecstatically happy when the wall came down and finally it was so much easier to see our east german relatives, for them to come over and for us to go and see them. I only remember it as a very, very happy moment in our lives. It was the same for my parents, especially my mum. Most of her cousins happen to live in the suburb just the other side when the ball went up. Where are they once cycled back and forwards to go to the cinema together, the relatives had to do the big trip, cross over and then come down to see us. Cross over and then come down to see us. For me, it was different. I was born into a world where the wall was just there. It was hugely exciting and asa just there. It was hugely exciting and as a 13 year old, your parents would not have let you out to drink champagne but i can tell you, as a 23 year old, we took full advantage of that. I think we could talk to you both for hours. We havent got time though. I am going to say thank you very much. Thank you. It is 8 19am. Heres ben with a look at this mornings weather. A lot of interest because of the problems over the last 24 hours. What is the big picture . Good morning. Flooding is clearly still a pa rt morning. Flooding is clearly still a part of our weather story. Some rain in the forecast for some, but hopefully not too much for parts of the country that have had the flooding. There are a number of flooding. There are a number of flood warnings, seven severe flood warnings still in place. You can read about them on the bbc website. Flooding an array not the whole story, we also have a cold, frosty start. Fog patches around, that was how it looked earlier on for a weather watcher in derbyshire. We have that freezing fog to content with and across central and eastern areas. You can see this band of rain pushing in from the west. Very soggy for Northern Ireland. That rain turning to snow, especially over high ground in wales. It could be wintry, down to low levels and some icy stretches around at the moment. If you are driving on roads in north wales. Fog could cause you problems in the midlands. Much of Northern England starting the day dry. Very wet for the eastern side of Northern Ireland, localised flooding and travel headaches here. The odd showerfor travel headaches here. The odd shower for northern and eastern scotland. Wintry over high ground. Most parts of scotland starting define with sunshine. Those are the different elements we have to play with. The band of rain were pushed eastwards today. Snow over high ground across wales, the midlands. Heavy rain across Central England and fora time heavy rain across Central England and for a time across the Channel Islands and the eastern side of Northern Ireland. For eastern and northern parts of the uk, some showers. The best of the dry and the bright weather. It will be chilly. Milder in the far south west. It will be quite breezy here. Tonight, showery rain will affect parts of the midlands, wales, the south of england. That rain is slowly starting to clear into the early hours. Further north, clearskies ahead, Northern England, ireland and scotland, 3 or minus four celsius quite easily. Cloud and showery rain tomorrow morning from the south of england. For most tomorrow, remembrance sunday is looking like a decent day. Predominantly dry. Spells of sunshine. The art shower peppering scotland. Extra cloud. We keep that chilly feel. As we look further ahead through the week ahead, it is going to stay rather chilly. Some rain at times but not not all the time. Then, thank you very much. It is 8 22am. Youre watching breakfast from bbc news, a maths teacher. My maths teacher. Thank you for coming into look at the this morning. What is tick tock famous . Not to be confused with the song. That was not in my mind. It is a quite new social media app. You can do short videos. It is almost like a revival of it but it is a Chinese Company cold tick tock and it has 1 Chinese Company cold tick tock and it has1 billion Chinese Company cold tick tock and it has 1 billion users, Chinese Company cold tick tock and it has1 billion users, more Chinese Company cold tick tock and it has 1 billion users, more than snapchat and twitter put together. Because it is in china . snapchat and twitter put together. Because it is in china . I think young people use it. The way it works is you put little videos of yourself and Different Things trend. I was checking it out this morning. Iam down i was checking it out this morning. I am down with the app. I am a co teacher. Things that were trending were dramatic dance or hashtag self care. Trending were dramatic dance or hashtag selfcare. Is atjust six seconds . It tends to be short videos, ten to 30 seconds are the ones that succeed. Are any of them of consequence . Or is itjust my cat, you know, it. Iam not going to co m plete cat, you know, it. Iam not going to complete that sentence. My cat climbed up the curtains. Those things go viral. Is that the nature of it . That is a good question, when we think about you chip in 2005, it was silly videos, now me tube has matured to being this market the people have to get involved in. Youtube. In tick tock, there are dramatic dance videos but universities are using it for fundraising or raising awareness. We will see how these apps change. They are originally silly videos to being something more serious. Why is it different to Instagram Stories . Instagram stories are short stories that people can put on that any length. I think it is the user base. Instagram see it as older people. They see facebook as even older. It is something young people have currently for themselves. When i got on to instagram, i thought i was doing what the young people do. Get tick tock. Doing what the young people do. Get ticktock. We will work on this one. This is on your territory, a story about a levels. This is on your territory, a story about alevels. It is maths week next week. Happy maths week. This is a t shirt i have got. The story is about a levels. There is a course thatis about a levels. There is a course that is set up back in 2008, p university. It is meant to be an alternative to a levels, more challenging. It is being scrapped. Why would you do it in the first place . Id a levels challenging enough . When it was set up, they wa nted enough . When it was set up, they wanted to give children more challenging exams and universities will look at it more favourably. The are too tough. This is something i love. I saw this this morning. None of your kids will recognise this. There are some funny videos of adults showing kids these. And they do not know what it is. What is the evidence of this revival . do not know what it is. What is the evidence of this revival . I think this year the label association is predicting 100,000 sales of tapes. Young people watching, how would we describe what a tape is . You put a pencil in to rewind it. describe what a tape is . You put a pencil in to rewind it. I was really upset when it split and i try to fix it. I was imagine you could buy one but no one has cassette players any more. I do, obviously. A lot of people would not have them. This has revived partly because of guardians of the galaxy in 2014. A lot of people are buying memorabilia and having vintage players. It has that collector item field. These to hiss a lot. They had really clunky buttons when used to record off of the top 40. I am sure it was illegal. Everyone did it. Really clu nky illegal. Everyone did it. Really clunky buttons. You are going to be backin clunky buttons. You are going to be back in one hour. Thank you very much. If you want to know more, tune in infor much. If you want to know more, tune in in for more with bobby. Our correspondent is in matlock this morning. You have had a chance to look around this morning and chat to people about the scale of the problems. That is right. I am here ata problems. That is right. I am here at a toy shop. A toy shop was meant to have its grand opening date yesterday but after the floods, that plan kind of did not happen. That all came to nothing. What we have instead where everything was laid out nicely, that have been put away. The manager of the toy shop is freer. Really sad that the opening date yesterday did not happen. What did you see yesterday . It was one inch deep and then by lunchtime, four inches. The river had flitted through into the town centre. At 4pm and started going down. This morning, we are lucky, but the damage is already done. If you look here, the pics are all damaged up to here. If we have a look. You can see really what came up. Luckily, we had got all the stock on the system for that point. Before it was all in cardboard boxes. The floor is com pletely cardboard boxes. The floor is completely ruined. That will smell, we will have to rip that up. It cost quite a lot. All of the local businesses have been amazing. We have all pulled in together. It has just been such a good sense of community and the council. It has been awful and devastating but, you know, we have done the best we can. Absolutely. How long do you think before you can get things back to normal to have another go at that grand opening . It could be one week, a couple of days, a month. We do not know. How did it feel . Tell me about the moment when he came in yesterday expecting everything to be ready for the grand opening. It was heartbreaking. The tractors were coming through, it sent tidal waves, you might have seen the video online. Before it was clean water, it brought up all the rubbish from the road. It flooded the whole place. Thank you. I hope you can get things back to normal soon. Good luck with that second reopening of the store. That is just a taste of what some of the businesses here are going through. Tales of devastation. Even though the rain has gone and the flooding have eased, the clear up the flooding have eased, the clear up operation has a long way to go. Thank you very much. We are getting a chance to have a look round some of the shops that have been hard hit by that flooding. Headlines are coming up. See you soon. Hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Coming up before 9am, ben will have all the weekend weather. But first, a summary of this mornings main news. Health and childcare take centre stage today, as the Political Parties continue their general Election Campaigns. The liberal democrats and labour have both pledged to help working parents by providing additional hours of Free Childcare. The conservatives say they will fund the training of 3,000 more gps in england over the next five years. Lets speak to matt hancock from the conservative party, who joins us from westminster. Good morning, thank you forjoining us. Good morning, thank you forjoining us. Good morning, how are you . good morning, thank you forjoining us. Good morning, how are you . I am good, thank you. Lets look at what the conservatives are going to deliver, 2000 more doctors by 2024. How would you do that . 3000. We will have 3000 more in training, 500 increase a year, and those training will get into surgeries earlier, and on top of that we have measures for more international recruitment, and measures to support gps to stay longer in general practice and stop them retiring early, so, in total, them retiring early, so, in total, the package will deliver 6000 more doctors in primary care, which will lead to 50 million more appointments. I know how frustrating it is when you cannot get a gp appointment fast enough, and although about half of gp appointments are on the same day or the next day, i know the pressures on the system, i have seen it, and this commitment fully funded, £2. 5 billion but behind it, will help us deliver the sort of access to gps that people deserve. Tell me what is different to the promise that was made in september 2015, when the conservative party, your predecessor Jeremy Hunt Health secretary, promised 5000 extra gps by 2020. At that point, in 2015, there were 34,300 full time equivalent gps. In september 2018, there were 200 more. Full time. So that promise was not fulfilled. It is not on target at the moment. Why should voters believe you now . This is a fully funded commitment,. Was believe you now . This is a fully funded commitment,. Was it not fully funded before . What was managed to do before was the increase in gps in training, so we now have a Record Number of gps in training, which is great news. That isnt what was promised, was it . At the same time, more gps have been retiring early, and that is why we need the action notjust on more gps in training, and we are proposing to go further than a record amount and increase it by 500, but also measures to ensure gps do not retire early, because we have to make sure we keep them and support them in general practice, then there is also action we are taking with the nhs visa we announced yesterday to ensure we recruit more, make it easier to recruit the best from overseas. So, we have seen easier to recruit the best from overseas. So, we have seen an increase in the number of gps recently. I want to make that increase much bigger and make sure we have appointments so that eve ryo ne we have appointments so that everyone watching this programme, if they need the gp, they can get an appointment easily, but also for gps themselves and other staff in gp practices, as we have to remember there is a lot more fun just the gp, there is a lot more fun just the gp, the physios, nurses, and others, we wa nt to ta ke the physios, nurses, and others, we want to take the pressure off them because the pressure is pretty intense in some places. As a minister, is a person, how do you feel when youre in a country and youre in the party leading the country, leading the government, when you have to promise an extra 50 million extra gp appointments, to say, we need an extra 50 million gp appointments because people are not getting the treatment they need when they need it, how does that make you feel . I feel really strongly about it. Strongly in what way . Some people might expect you to feel disappointed, ashamed . people might expect you to feel disappointed, ashamed . Ifeel absolutely determined to make it happen. Since 2010, there has been an increase in the number of gp appointments by 24 million, but the truth is, over a generation the increase in spending on the nhs has gone more towards hospitals and primary care and community care. That has been for good reason because hospitals are under pressure, but in the long term the only way you keep the hospitals sustainable as by supporting people to stay healthy in the first place, and that means you have got to have the investment in primary care, you have got to have the investment in gps and the support staff that go around them. Nine out of ten nhs appointments are in primary care, with either gps or the practice nurse or physio in a gp surgery. Therefore, i think there is a big shift that we need is a society to help people to stay healthy rather than just fix them up and something has gone wrong and they are in hospital. I feel very strongly about this change within the health service, and while we have increased the number of gp appointments over the number of gp appointments over the last few years and the number of gps is rising, we have Record Numbers in training, i do not think it is enough, so i am absolutely thrilled that i have managed to persuade the Prime Minister to allocate £2. 5 billion to driving the agenda in the future. Let me talk to you, one of the reasons i asked you about your field, because you are the party that has been ruling since 2010, as a conservative i am keen to know how you feel the conservatives will be defined now. David gauke is the latest name to say he cannot stand as a conservative. He hasnt decided whether to stand as an independent unless you have heard otherwise, please tell me if you have. Philip hammond, amber rudd, these are key figures in the conservative party. If you are losing the core of the conservative party, the ethos, those who have been established in this, what is the conservative party me now . think this is really important point, because the issue of europe of course has caused tensions within all of the major parties, but this is why i feel so strongly that we need to deliver brexit and get it done, and need to deliver brexit and get it done, and i know that get brexit done, and i know that get brexit done is the strap line, but i really feel this, because then we can move on to feel this, because then we can move ontoa feel this, because then we can move on to a progressive one nation agenda that brings the country together. As Health Secretary i feel that strongly because the Health Services there for everyone, one of the things that unites us. Sorry, are you blaming brexit on the fact that key conservatives cannot align themselves with the conservative party a ny themselves with the conservative party any more . Totally. David gauke is case in point, he is a good friend of mine, he is a classic conservative, some would say economically dry, but he objects to the direction the party is taking, it is absolutely about brexit. The Prime Minister is determined to get brexit done, we all know that, and i think very strongly that the best way to get the country moving is to get brexit done and then we can move forward. I would say to everybody, liberal minded conservatives and people who have voted conservative in the past, the way to move the country in the past, the way to move the cou ntry forward in the past, the way to move the country forward is to get a conservative majority so we can deliver on the vote that was now 3. 5 yea rs deliver on the vote that was now 3. 5 years ago, whatever way you voted in the referendum, and i voted remain, but i believe in democracy, then we can get moving. We can spend the whole of the interview talking about things like the nhs, which is so important, and we can have much more airtime for important issues like that, the one nation conservatives believe in. Many people in the country are determined to focus on domestic policy but we have brexit looming over us, as you are well aware, and you want people to enable the government to get brexit done. How can they do that . I want to play you a couple of clips explaining my question. How can they do that when they do not see the conservative party sending one message on particular issues on brexit . Im talking about borisjohnson and stephen barclay, the brexit secretary being at odds over the brexit deal. I will play what Susan Barkley has said about Customs Declarations for goods when it comes to Northern Ireland, then what Boris Johnson said recently, and i want you to tell me who is right. Well Northern Ireland businesses that trade with Great Britain have to complete export declarations . Well, if they are moving goods to Northern Ireland they are not exporting them. From Northern Ireland to Great Britain . No, because we have said in terms of from Northern Ireland to Great Britain that it will be frictionless. Can i come back to the question, the exit summary declarations will be required, in terms of Northern Ireland to gb. Summary declarations declarations will be required in terms of Northern Ireland to Great Britain. This is what the Prime Minister said in seemingly contradiction. You will absolutely not. If somebody asks you to do that, tell them to ring up the Prime Minister, and i will direct them to throw their form in the bin. How does the Prime Minister seem to be able to either circumvent or com pletely be able to either circumvent or completely contradict his brexit secretary . The sack won shadow brexit secretary has said this is a Prime Minister who doesnt know the details of the deal he has negotiated or he is not being straight about it. That is what kier starmer said. Which is it . The crucial thing is that all sorts of declarations that have to happen in the future will be determined by the agreement we strike. For instance we dont want to have any tariffs, and the Prime Minister has talked about how we will negotiate the future pa rt how we will negotiate the future part of the relationship which is not yet agreed. You have struck an agreement. We have struck an agreement. We have struck an agreement hold on. For how we leave. But not for what the future Free Trade Agreement is going to be. But ina way, trade agreement is going to be. But in a way, the detail of the question that you asked me, whether there is a consistency between what the two said, and the Prime Minister was right in what he said, the point is that one of the reasons to move beyond the Brexit Debate and get it agreed and done, is because of british politics that instead of british politics that instead of british politics that instead of british politics spending all of its time on the precise details of the Customs Declarations and types of declarations and trade policy, we have so much else to talk about on the nhs, on education and so on, so it proves the point i have been making, that the best thing for the country is not to spend next year with two more referenda and going down more rabbit holes, but to deliver the deal that is ready to go. Matt hancock, please let me interrupt you, time is against us andi interrupt you, time is against us and i want to give us a fair go of trying to get to the truth. When the Prime Minister, if you want people to support the government to get brexit through, they need to know what they are supporting, so when they hear the brexit secretary under Prime Minister contradict each other, and you hear the Prime Minister say to a business person, if someone asks you to fill in form, tell them to ring the Prime Minister andi tell them to ring the Prime Minister and i will tell them to throw the form in the bin, but the brexit secretary and says you need a declaration form, there is no clarity the clarity is, vote conservative and we will move towards the sort of debate and we will get brexit done, there is clarity between what they said, it is highly technical because it is about the types of checks and agreement, but crucially all of this can be properly addressed in the future trade agreement talks, because we dont want to have any ta riffs because we dont want to have any tariffs with the eu, and as far as i can see they dont want to have any with us, but the crucial thing is that in the selection people have a choice, do you want to spend the whole of next year having incredibly intricate questions and raking over all that ground again. It is not actually intricate. Or should we go on and talk about the matters that matter to people, and i believe we need to move the country forward, and we can only do that delivering brexit. In a business person asks how many forms he needs to fill in after brexit, that is not intricate, that affects every day, they are right to be concerned about that. But the point im trying to make as iam the but the point im trying to make as i am the Health Secretary, and there is an enormous discussion to have about the future of general practice but there is so much airtime that can be given next year to all the things we need to do to improve this country right across the board, and i hope we can deliver on the deal, we can get a majority so we can finally get it through parliament, it is ready to go, then we can spring forward into the other things that matter, having delivered brexit because we are democrats and we believe on delivering on democratic votes, then lets talk about Everything Else that matters like having more gps and the debate on how we do that and everything about it, because otherwise we will still be stuck in this treacle for another year, with not only another referendum on europe but another referendum on europe but another referendum on europe but another referendum on scotland as well. cannot frankly think of anything worse. Matt hancock, thank you for taking the time to talk to us this morning. The time is 8 45am. Your job, john, is to whisk us away into a stadium full of people. It is going to be a record breaking attendance in wembley as england ta ke attendance in wembley as england take on germany in a friendly at wembley, five years after the england women played their first match the it is a sell out, really significant moment. It is obviously hearing from players how important it is, they are so excited, it is amazing. In front of a record cloud, they will be desperate to deliver a result. 90,000 fans expected in what is another landmark moment in womens football. Lots of former players who never got the chance to play here will take to the pitch at half time in front of that record crowd. Following the record viewig figures at the world cup, england manager phil neville says its inevitable the money female players earn will grow as well. I think from a Commercial Point of view, what we have seen over the 12 to 18 months, we have seen all of a sudden major sponsors coming into the womens game, and with that will become a great growth, and im sure over the next 12 to 18 months the players will be rewarded for their work. I was fortunate enough to play at wembley for team gb, and we had over 70,000 there when we played brazil, and at the time we were getting about 200 to the club games, and this occasion we stepped out onto the pitch and you were so nervous because we had never seen that many people before, but i think for the olympics a lot of people bought tickets to say they were going to the olympics and be part of it, and it wasnt necessarily about the football, so to everyone has gone out there and wants to support the team is a massive turning point for the game. And this is very different from the olympics. And georgia stanway posted this pic on social media with her team mates. Captain Steph Houghton gave a nod to those whove gone before saying, so many people have played their part in how we have got to where we are today we are forver grateful and now we cant wait to play at wembley Alex Greenwood saying ready to go kick off at 5. 30. Well, its all building up to the euros hosted in england in 2021. Scotland made it two wins from two in qualfying by thrashing albania 50. It was comfortable throughout and how about this for a finish from Christie Murray who rounded off the win against the side bottom of the group. Northern ireland were beaten 6 0 by norway. Theres a big game undreway in christchurch, Great Britain lions taking on new zealand. They havent won a match on their tour so far. They narrowly lost last time out to the same opponents. It wasjosef manu who got the try for new zealand. Gb desperate to take something from this match, with one game of their tour remaining, thats against Papua New Guinea next weekend. You can watch the match with new zealand live on bbc two now. Theyre two of the most popular internet personalities in the world, with over 40 million subscribers to their youtube channels. This weekend millions will tune in to watch ks and logan paul settle their rivalry inside a boxing ring. Our reporter Calum Mcdonald is in los angeles for us this morning what can we expect . What can we expect, we talk about their number of subscribers and the money, i guess this is where entertainment and sport collide. Absolutely right, that is exactly what is happening, too much criticism from some in the boxing community and much excitement from basically everyone else, it has to be said. They met first time in Manchester Arena in august 2018 to a sold out Manchester Arena, and 1. 2 Million People paid less than a tenner just less than a tenner for a pay per view. We are still waiting for the numbers, on saturday night, but sunday morning uk time, and we will see how popular they are. But at the moment, the press conferences, the way in, videos, they have been viewed by millions of people across the world, so we are keeping our eye open on how much money this fight will generate. Worth saying as well that they have gone pro, so worth saying as well that they have gone pro, so last year it was just two guys hitting each other, this year there is no head guard, ten ounce gloves, so they are going to feel the punches this time, and that isa feel the punches this time, and that is a bit ofa feel the punches this time, and that is a bit of a wake up call. We have been here all week in los angeles, having some interviews and speaking to boxing analysts, we have been spending time with ksi to boxing analysts, we have been spending time with ks and logan paul, getting to know them, getting the vibe of what is going on in their camps as they get ready for their camps as they get ready for the big fight. Here is what logan paul had to say earlier in the week. Did you expect him to be a lot heavier or a bit heavier . He is the skinniest fat kid i have ever seen in my life he is a funny guy, he is a serious guy, naturally funny guy, lets get that right. Protect the king at all costs, he is the young man, the future of boxing, so im protecting the king at all costs. Shannon briggs, who is logan pauls coach and has a great boxing history. At the weigh in, we are just coming up to 1am on saturday morning in la, it involved a little bit of a scuffle, which was the most dramatic moment of the day. We are getting set for the big fight night, so getting set for the big fight night, so you getting set for the big fight night, so you can stream getting set for the big fight night, so you can stream it live on the bbc signs app, and you will get free live commentary, in the early hours of uk time. Many thanks indeed for that. Worth pointing out there are some genuinely there is some genuinely world class talent on the undercard, which is surprising in that sometimes they would be the main event. What is the undercard . That is the fights before the main event. Lets face it, boxing as a sport is not immune to hype itself. Very good, thanks, john. Lets now have a look at the weather. Good morning to you. About going on with the weather as there has been over the last few days. Still flooding problems for some, flood warnings and a few severe ones in force, the bbc website will give you more idea. There is rain for some of us today, but not only rain, it isa some of us today, but not only rain, it is a cold, frosty start, with dense fog patches around. You can see the rain pushing in from the west, over the high ground of wales, some sleet and snow mixing in. Could be some slippery travelling conditions. Wet weather gets into southern england, and gets very slow moving, and could have some localised flooding. The eastern side of Northern Ireland will also be very wet. For the driest weather you have to look east and north, with sunshine, just the odd wintry shower in the north of scotland. The rain will move across the midlands down to the size, and further north with clear skies, it is going to be another cold frosty nights particularly across scotland, down 23d. Particularly across scotland, down 2 3d. Tomorrow, showery rain to clear away from the south, and for remembrance sunday it is looking dry with some spells of sunshine, just the odd shower. Six to 11 degrees, stays chilly and unsettled through the weekend. Interesting looking to the weather, you dont want to be outside in some places today. If you are involved in a major event, up up and down the country. The children in need rickshaw challenge is back on the road again. This year theyre peddling 400 miles between holyhead and london.

His bike was stolen and he confronted who he thought was the perpetrator, and was stabbed. It must be hard to look back on that.

Yes, help and give kids a second chance. Today the team will be attempting to ride up the steepest street in the world we can speak now to the one shows matt baker in harlech, in wales. Just watching that little film there, all the stories about the young people on the trip with you, they are very moving, arent they . They have a reason to be taking part. Yes, absolutely. This is now the ninth year i have done the rickshaw challenge, and the whole idea is to give youngsters who have benefited from children in need in the past the chance to raise awareness for all the projects and raise vital funds for all of those children who are in the position they used to be in. They are now all approaching adulthood and have the chance of a Brilliant Future because of the help and expert care they have received from all the projects, so have received from all the projects, so they want to give back and raise awareness, and for me it is a real privilege to be cycling along side these inspirational youngsters. It is the highlight of my year, i absolutely is the highlight of my year, i a bsolutely love is the highlight of my year, i absolutely love it, and the support we feel from the crowds of people miles of folk just we feel from the crowds of people miles of folkjust cheering and waving, it is magical tojust see the reaction from the youngsters cycling the rickshaw. As you can see, at the moment it is on its backside we are in a fire station and have a bit of an issue, the rickshaw is portly, and the steepest street in the world is outside. Poorly. We have paul here from mclaren, which designed the rickshaw. We are just hoping we are going to get up the steepest street in the world. It is going to be all right, it is the top gears that are worrying. We are talking about all these inspirational youngsters, lets have a word with kelsey, because i was saying about how brilliant the rate rickshaw has been, and we have this little go cart that sits at the front so we can now have blind cyclists. It was a iy can now have blind cyclists. It was a joy yesterday for the first time because all of Team Rickshaw were trying it out for the first time yesterday, but was it like for you to be cycling in that kind of situation . It is not something i could ever have done any other way before, so it was such an incredible experience to be able to do it. Each and every one of the team had a goal yesterday. Josh went for the bold move of wearing cycling shorts yesterday, the First Time Ever and he has trousers today it was amazing, all the support people gave us, it was overwhelming. And the weather this morning, you are first in the saddle. Yes, it was great just to get out on the rickshaw and power through it, and all the people that came out to support us. We also have emma and thomas, we are about to head up there, i dont know if you can see tarmac slashing up into the clouds, but that is this deepest street in the world. The steepest street in the world. The steepest street in the world, so you can follow us on instagram and see all the behind the scenes stuff. That is it from us, goodbye. Goodbye, good luck, everyone. I hope it goes well for them today. We will try to keep tabs on how they get on. It looks steep. You know what you need if youre going to cycle up the hill .
