And well try to solve the mystery of the secret santa delighting residents of a leicestershire village by leaving presents in random locations. And no surprises weather wise today, rain back at times, drier for england and wales, ill have the full details coming up. Its wednesday the fourth of december. Our top story the Prime Minister borisjohnson will urge the leaders of the 29 nato states to show a one for all and all for one unity as they begin a summit in hertfordshire today. The meeting marks natos 70th anniversary, but it comes amid tensions about the future of the alliance. Our Diplomatic CorrespondentJames Landale reports. Not every military alliance gets to celebrate its 70th birthday with the queen at Buckingham Palace, but nato leaders past and present have been keeping her realm safe since just before she ascended the throne. Behind last nights smiles, though, there were some real disagreements about the future. This is the man asking difficult questions, president macron of france said nato was suffering strategic brain death, prompting a rare defence of the alliance from donald trump. Well, when you make a Statement Like that, that is very, very nasty, statement to essentially 28 including them, 28 countries. I think that, you know, you have a high Unemployment Rate in france, france is not doing well economically at all. Gunfire. Mr macrons big concern is over the actions of another nato member, turkey, and its military incursion in syria. President erdogan of turkey wants nato to treat its former kurdish allies in syria as terrorists. But the french president says the alliance should stay focused on tackling isis fighters. Im sorry to say that we dont have the same definition of terrorism around the table. When i look at turkey, they now are fighting against those who fight with us who fought with us, shoulder to shoulder, against isis. And sometimes they work with isis plots. And if thats not enough, donald trump is still attacking nato allies for not spending more on defence, describing those missing targets as delinquents and threatening them with trade sanctions. So when nato leaders gather today at this hotel in watford for their formal meeting, the focus will be on trying to overcome the differences and find some Common Ground on how to approach china and new threats in cyber and space. Nato has survived because its been able to adapt. 70 years on, the alliance is under pressure to change once again. James landale, bbc news. Those were events last night. Our World Affairs correspondent Richard Galpin is in watford, where the nato leaders will meet. Richard, whats on the agenda today . Well, obviously i mean its an absolutely huge agenda in front of all of the leaders here. The meeting gets under way at about 10am. I think its important to emphasise what Boris Johnson think its important to emphasise what borisjohnson has said in this statement overnight, trying to sort of heal those rifts which we saw yesterday, very serious rifts as a result of the french president , mister macrons intervention describing nato as being brain dead. Borisjohnson has said that we, as in all the members states, are rock solid in our commitment to nato and as long as we all stand together, no one can defeat us, we can live in peace. So this is obviously very much an attempt by the Prime Minister to, as i say, heal those divisions because obviously its a very tricky if those divisions continue for the whole nato project. Yes, absolutely. Also, on social media so many people are watching the pictures that Buckingham Palace yesterday, what is going on . This is intriguing. Now, there has been some video which has been picked up showing this reception in Buckingham Palace, or the leaders there. But there has been a group of them, including the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, been a group of them, including the Prime Minister, borisjohnson, and it appears, we cant be absolutely certain, but it appears they have been gossiping about donald trump. Here is the video. So so that is not going to help in the question of divisions, but obviously we will have to see what comes about from the actual summit. It is only three hours of discussions, pretty much a slimmed down, but we will be waiting to see what comes from it in the coming hours. Lots to discuss. Thank you very much. It is interesting watching that. Yesterday, President Trump flatly denied claims that us firms want Market Access to the nhs in a post brexit trade deal even if, and even if, he said, it was on a silver platter. 0ur Political CorrespondentJonathan Blake is in westminster to tell us more. Good morning, jonathan. This will be interesting to see the way labour is discussing the nhs. Interesting to see the way labour is discussing the nhsi interesting to see the way labour is discussing the nhs. I think President Trumps comments are something of a double edged sword. 0n something of a double edged sword. On one hand he did appear to flatly shut down labours argument that the us is looking for access to the nhs and particularly pharmaceutical supplies in any trade deal after brexit with the uk. And that goes to the heart of labours argument, discussions have already been happening between officials and that america will be looking to involve the Health Service in the trade deal. But the president seemed to close down that argument. 0n the other hand, labour has long said President Trump, who has been suspicious of him, and the two are working in coherence, borisjohnson. So wouldnt expect labour to back off completely, if at all about their argument from the nhs and i think we will hear from them in the coming days. Interestingly, the focus today is very much on the economy, shadow chancellorJohn Mcdonnell making a speech, pledging to and rip off britain. Two. So both parties getting back to domestic issues today. A kitchen porter who helped to tackle the London Bridge attacker, usman khan, has said he acted instinctively when he ran towards the danger. Lukasz, who has asked for his surname to remain private, grabbed a pole to fight khan when he began stabbing people and himself as well in fishmongers hall on friday, killing two of them.

Lets take a look at todays papers. The Daily Telegraph reports on Donald Trumps visit to the uk for a nato summit and his denial that the nhs would be on the table during future us uk trade talks. The guardians front page says Jeremy Corbyn remains sceptical about President Trumps comments. Labour has claimed the Health Service could be for sale in a post brexit trade deal. The daily mail focuses on an nhs survey which says that more than half of adults in the uk now gamble. The report has prompted warnings over the promotion of internet betting.

This is the handshake between president macron and mr trump. You stop measuring the length, you look at the red patches on the hands afterwards. It looked quite intense.

Donald trump had a few insults about france after president macron spoke about nato and questioned the role of nato. Donald trump was saying that he thinks france has very high unemployment and is doing badly economically, they have had a rough year. It could be interesting when they get together again today. Tense. It is most awkward family christmas ever. It is really terrible. I have a piece on the back page of the times. Arsene wenger, in his kind of, he has a new role, talking about ba are. It is something lots of people have mentioned already. He has said it is time that we can see va are on the big screens at the matches in order to stop any confusion, that kind of awkward delay. He says it should happen, the referee should be able to see it in the same way as the vans, and it would change everything. I think he has probably got quite a good point. Staying on football, Jose Mourinho, i dont go long without mentioning him. Sorry. You are obsessed dont you start, honestly. Jose mourinho back facing Manchester United, his former club duno.

A mother shot in front of her four year old child, a drive by shooting from the back of a motorcycle, two masked gunmen opening fire in a busy bar. It might sound like a snapshot of life in the inner cities of the us. In fact these were just three of several firearms incidents on merseyside last week. Breakfasts tim muffett has been to meet some the people trying to stop this worrying trend and some of those whose lives have already been shattered by it.

Merseyside police and other Police Forces cannot address this problem on their own. Any the general public to speak up. Police are targeting violent drug dealing gangs was up as those many force young, Vulnerable People to carry weapons and move drugs around the country along so called county lines. What are you doing to try and get on top of this because you know are doing a huge amount. We have covert investigations and overt investigations. We have patrols out, increased patrols with the shootings that have happened more recently. How are people getting hold of these firearms . They come into the country through a variety of methods. A lot of illegal roots. We will police the roots with the other services and ta ke roots with the other services and take action where we can. In the uk, the use of guns is comparatively rare. There were just over 6500 firearm offences in england and wales last year, compared to more than 44,000 involving knives or sharp objects. But the brazen nature of some recent attacks and the risks to innocent bystanders has shocked many and renewed calls for those who know people, who have access to these weapons, to tell the police.

Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. It at the usual address. Is back to dan and louise. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast with dan walker and Louise Minchin. Well bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning the uks grey seal population is booming. Weve been to northumberland to find out how drones are being used to keep track of them. The Climate Change campaigner Greta Thunberg has just sailed the atlantic to attend a un conference in spain. Well hear from the british skipper who got her there safely. And heres some early christmas cheer for you. Well be talking to residents of the leicestershire village where a real life secret santa has been leaving gifts for strangers to discover. Its 6 30am. Lets get you up to date on the latest news. The general election is just over a week away and the issue of whether we can trust our politicians continues to colour much of the debate. In recent days, the lib dems have been criticised for distributing campaign leaflets which are designed to look like regional newspapers and yesterday the actor hugh grant had to publicly correct the party for overstating the support that hed given them. The partys chuka umunna joins us now from westminster. Thank you for coming on today. Good to talk to you, as ever. The hugh grant thing first of all. Why have you and the liberal democrats turned this into something that it wasnt . We dont think we have. Made no pretenses about yous position here, and he didnt either. Well you asked me a question, please let me finish. He has been absolutely clear that he wants people to tactically vote in this election for remain candidates who stand the best chance within particular constituencies of being able to win, and he has endorsed a number of candidates, i am one of them, but he has also done the same with some letter candidates, so there is no illusions that he is seeking to back a single candidate, but remain candidates. He corrected a lib dems weed because he says it wasnt accurate. Yes, but there has been, look, there has been absolutely no effort to try and miss portray, if you like, his support. Hejust portray, if you like, his support. He just objected to some wording in a tweet, but its not a big issue, i promise you. You say its not a big issue but in the context of trust and understanding where all the parties are coming from at the moment, and also from a liberal democrat perspective, you are examining the fact that you have got a very well known celebrities aborting you, and if you look at your social media feed there are videos of you with human pictures of you with him on the campaign trail. And now he is denying the fact that he was giving you his support exclusively to the lib dems, which is what you were cleaning. Youve turned into an own goal. Down, down, down. If you go to my twitter feed and see the visit to the area where iam standing and see the visit to the area where i am standing this week, in no place, in no tweet was there any suggestion that he was backing lib dem candidates in every single constituency. Because that patently wasnt the case. And whenever i had contact with people, including the bbc, had been very clear about that, so if you want to make a massive thing about one tweet, feel free to do so. But its all there for eve ryo ne do so. But its all there for everyone to see, and we are including the bbc on this, making it very clear that he is backing and in the press release i put out on his support in my parts, in my desired patch, as it were, we are making a very clear his supporting remain candidates and the concept tactically voting. 0k. The tweet said only liberal democrats can take seeds of the tories, and he says your second paragraph is not true. He disputes that stop according to polls at the moment the labour party is not well placed to take seats from the conservatives, it is defending against the conservatives in the northeast, yorkshire and north midlands. But we are in a good position to take seats from the conservatives in a number of southern regions in particular, in the country including london. Now, you can take everyone what the pollsters are saying and take a different interpretation, we have a slightly different interpretation but we all do anyway because we are backing liberal democrats in every case. Voting tactically, that is his point. And i think the particular tweet didnt say that he necessarily had the view. You know, in respect of various different constituencies. I think what his objection was that there was a comment made by the liberal democrat twitter account about that of the back of a tweet that mentioned him, and he wanted to make it clear it wasnt his view. Have you spoken to him since you we re have you spoken to him since you were on the campaign trail with him . Idid were on the campaign trail with him . I did send him a message but i havent checked to see whether i havent checked to see whether i have got a reply yet. So you havent heard back yet. Its on my twitter, soi heard back yet. Its on my twitter, so i havent had a chance to jacket this morning, to be honest. Can i ask you about this newspaper article . We arent singling out the liberal democrats here, we talk to all the parties about the material they put out at the moment. This is they put out at the moment. This is the Sheffield Hallam news, its a local newspaper front page, a verified local newspaper. This is something the liberal democrats have been putting out. This looks remarkably similar, and the only way you would know that isnt a normal local newspaper is the small section we put a red band around which says this has been paid for by democrat candidate. How is this trustworthy use of local news . Its very difficult, unless you read the small print, do know that is not a normal newspaper. I am sorry. Print, do know that is not a normal newspaper. Iam sorry. Look, print, do know that is not a normal newspaper. I am sorry. Look, ithink most members of the public when they receive literature, particularly at this time, a very cognizance of the fa ct this time, a very cognizance of the fact they are being sent literature by Political Parties. And its interesting that you single out the liberal democrats here. |j interesting that you single out the liberal democrats here. Ijust told you im not singling the lib dems out. You are a liberal democrat, thats why im talking about it stop please let me finish what i was about to say. I have seen three sheets, if you want to call them that, that had been put out in the constituency where i am standing against the conservatives with a red banner, iforget against the conservatives with a red banner, i forget what they were calling the three sheet. The ones that the conservatives have put out in the city of london and westminster doesnt actually have a disclaimer at the top next to the red title of the publication. This is something done by all of the Political Parties and i give the public credit picking it up and reading what it says in coming to their own view. You can see that trust is particularly in this election is an important issue . A lot of our viewers get in contact quite regularly, we have been to various towns and cities and spoken to people, so many say they find it ha rd to to people, so many say they find it hard to trust what is coming out of mps mouths but also the literature they are getting through the doors. This is a really important issue. I dont deny that. It is an important issue. I dont think its an issue with regard to the way the Political Parties act, but also social media and how fake news and false information is spread about issues, about facts and about people. There have been suites that i have been talked about in which our complete fabrications there have been tweet. Sometimes they have been mentioned on bbc news outlets. , so i think we all have a responsibility to make sure information is represented in a factually correct way. And Media Organisations in particular, social Media Organisations as well. |j particular, social Media Organisations as well. I think you are right. Chuka umunna, good to talk to you. Thank you. We have lots brilliant stories to share. Cracking goals. Manchester city have closed the gap on premier League Leaders liverpool to eight points after a convincing win over burnley. Adam wild was watching the action. Manchester city are feeling the heat, its perhaps an unfamiliar place to do so. But pep guardiolas side, these are unfamiliar movements. Here was gabrieljesus with a reminder ofjust how brilliant the champions can be. This, their opening goal in the first half where it like it could have been the first of many. Another, only a matter of time. It came in the second half with perfect precision, via jesus once more. Early for their part, struggling to approach city. There was little they could do to stop this effort. A third goal, three points secure, we admire is full of, like city, came almost without a challenge. That was until robbie brady found a gold from nowhere. It made little difference. If city were feeling the heat, this was their perfect response. Adam wild, bbc news. It wasnt all easy going for city though when they arrived at turf moore. Due to an electrical fault they had no working lights in their dressing rooms but with the help of lights from broadcasters amazon prime and their phone torches they were able to have a post match party. Someone also seems to have some disco lights in there, i dont know how they got in there. Do each cover with disco lights, maybe . Do we travel with . Crystal palace also won. Tonight, theres six more games in the premier league. Theres a Merseyside Derby at anfield whilstJose Mourinho makes a return to old trafford as his spurs side take on Manchester United. He was sacked by united last december but says he has no ill feeling towards the club. Manchester united for me now is in my, is in my book of experiences, its in my history, my history book abit its in my history, my history book a bit like mr mandela was saying, you never lose, you win or you won. And at united i won and i learned it. Thats a very powerful quote. You never lose, you either win or you won. Ronnie 0sullivan is safely through to the last 16 of the uk championship in york. The seven time champion is the tournament favourite but he admits hes struggling with a foot injury and may be forced to pull out of his next match.

The chelmsford born skier says there is no doubt in his mind he could get back into the team but doesnt want to fight his american friends for this part. He also wants to pay tribute to his mother and ski for britain for his mother. Should we catch up with the weather this morning . Im feeling its not quite so chilly this morning . Not quite, it is still in the chilly side this morning. A bit of rust across england and wales to start with. Signs of a change, albeit a gradual one, do something wet and windy across the North Western corner of the uk. Today the uk and Northern Ireland, scotland most likely to see some rain. If youre about to head across western scotland, Northern Ireland, if its not raining yet, it will do. There isa not raining yet, it will do. There is a band of rain pushing into the hebrides, and office islands and was ahead of it. Glasgow and belfast are also likely to be affected as we go through the morning rush hour. These do scotland should they dry. Mist and fog towards the south east corner, some of that will only lift into low cloud, so maybe a grade over one or two of you. Sunny spells across england and wales before we start to see a bigger the rain into cumbria later on. Gotten bright this afternoon, some sunshine, a few showers and temperatures at nine degrees, chilly in the south east corner. This evening and overnight, that area of cloud and rain pushes southwards, it tends to fizzle, nothing more than one or two spots in the south east, mostly dry. Temperatures temporarily lifting at times overnight but as you can see temperatures will be two three degrees, it does mean there will be a chance of frost just about anywhere into tomorrow morning. 0n thursday, this area of rain approaches. Its to the north west again, an area that has not seen much rain at all over the past few months, the North West Highlands of butland, heavy, persistent rain over a30 butland, heavy, persistent rain over a 30 hour period. Persistent rain here throughout monday, strong, gale force winds. We will see some afternoon rain for northern england, wales and perhaps even the midlands. The south east will stay dry all day long on thursday. Temperatures will start to lift. The night will be warmer than the day. Around 11 12 celsius by the end of friday night into thursday night into friday morning. Its going to be the warmest start of the week, but to pay the price breezy conditions and other acts of rainjust pay the price breezy conditions and other acts of rain just about anywhere. The earliest in the south east, showers in the further north and west, some of those i was heavy and hungry but temperatures staying in double figures for many of those turning cooler across the north and west of scotland in the day. Some of you may already be thinking of the weekend. Weather fronts push through which will bring outbreaks of rain and then winds of the atlantic by sunday. What that does mean than is some of the wettest weather likely will probably be on saturday night rather than day, saturday light, and the driest day, saturday light, and the driest day of the weekend. Sunday, you are more likely to catch showers, overnight rain could linger over the south east corner. So saturday is certainly the drier of the two days and temperatures still 9 11 degrees, where we should be for this time of yearand degrees, where we should be for this time of year and milder than the week so far. Thank you very much. Sean is here to talk to us about petrol. |j thank you very much. Sean is here to talk to us about petrol. I have my proper petrol attendant gear on this morning. You wouldnt want to get greasy in all of this. Good morning, everybody. Here is the virtual petrol station. Supermarkets play a big role in prices these days that you see on the forecourt. They have 20 of the uks for cause, but they sell nearly half of all the uks fuel. That is according to that one driving border biting, the rac, the aa have research out today about the aa have research out today about the minimum spend deals that a lot of the big supermarkets have on offer. The aa saying that level of minimum spend is getting higher and more complex and as a result of poorer customers are losing out. If we look at one, look at morrisons, for example, you have until sunday to redeem your fuel vouchers from their most recent offer. They were offering 10p off daily to when you spend 60 quid or more. But it had to be installed, not online stop and all of it had to be in one transaction as well. In store. Another one is, have a look at tesco, they had a similar office early in the year, 10p off when you spend 60 quid. That had to be in one transaction, but you could have used online shopping, but it had to be after discounts and promotions were added to the bill. Then youve got sainsburys, his latest offer, similar level of spend before you got the discount, £60 or more, after discounts, but lots of things not included. If you bought things in the cafe they did not councils the cafe they did not councils the aa reckons 18,000 drivers when asked about these offers, a lot of them did not think that they were fairfor them did not think that they were fair for all drivers. The problem is, for those on low incomes, single parent families, some of the younger shoppers, they cant afford to spend £60 in the store and then do not get the 10p a litre discount. In the past, they used to say if you spent £20 you might get 2p a litre. But they dont even do that today. So these people are just missing out. We are sleeping across the board prices could be lower to actually reflect the world price of oil. It has been pretty stable recently. In fact, it has been dropping. And we do find in areas of the country where there is more competition from supermarkets the prices do tend to be lower, which does suggest we could have cheaper fuel prices at the pumps. Even if you do take advantage of it may not be that straightforward. Jenny got in touch with me and said she recently used tesco s offer, she ran down her tank to get the cheaper price, saved about £3. 50. She says it would be worth it if you need to develop, but it is not always worth spending so much in store to get that kind of discount. We asked some drivers what they thought of the deals. When i see the petrol deals and you spend so much in store, a love r, and you spend so much in store, a lover, because im going to spend the money anyway and they get 10p a litre of the petrol, it is saving the money. I never go for the 5p because they spent £20, was fired from his mother petrol station, even if only go to the supermarket, because they are cheaper. If only go to the supermarket, because they are cheaperlj if only go to the supermarket, because they are cheaper. I do when they go to the till and i do use those vouchers. They sometimes forget that i have them. Usually you end up buying things like dry food to stick in the cupboard that you dont need at the time to make of the £40 to get the discount. So even if you are just buying your petrol normally without any deals, what are the prices of fuel like right now . You have to give an eye out for that. Figures out from the rac today so that the average price of petrol across the uk at the end of november fell for the fourth month in a row. Now about 140 5p a litre. Diesel a little more expensive, 129 p a litre. That has been falling a bit as well. The same figures showed that petrol and diesel, much cheaper at supermarkets. By nearly 5p a litre. You are being drawn in a little bit that way anyway. Both the rac and aa said falling wholesale Oil Prices Mean that supermarkets could actually have dropped the fuel costs even more. We asked tescos, sainsburys, morrisons, as do about this, tesco told us they always focus on providing great value for all their customers, which is something we always hear from them. Given out in the next few weeks make sure you are getting a deal that is a good deal. Its a tricky one. Sure you are getting a deal that is a good deal. Its a tricky onem is. About whether or not is a good one. Thank you very much. Ive a lwa ys one. Thank you very much. Ive always wondered. You might think the world is rather lacking in good will at the moment. But one village in leicestershire is bucking that trend. A mysterious secret santa has been leaving dozens of gifts around the streets of kegworth, usually alongside a note calling it a random act of kindness. Brea kfasts holly hamilton is there for us this morning. Good morning good morning, louise. It is, as you say, the season of goodwill. If youre not feeling too festive just yet, they reckon this story will be enough to do it. If the Christmas Tree doesnt help the village of keg worth has had a secret santa. Somebody has been delivering little presence right across the village to the delight of local residents. Nobody knows who it is exactly but the reasoning is spreading that little bit of extra festive cheer. It seems to be catching on. Christmas has come early to the village of kegworth with a secret santa leaving presents around for people to find. This mother and daughter were on their way to the shops when they came across a gift left on a bench. We just thought it was somebody left it there. You know when somebody sits down and then forgets that theyve left the bag or something there. And, well, tommy wanted to have a look at it. And when we had a look and it said, a random act of kindness for kegworth. I hope you enjoy. Play it forward. So we opened it and it was a bunch of chocolates. Its just really nice for somebody to do that. All secret santa asks is that if you find a present then, in return, you do something kind for someone else, helping to spread festive cheer and happiness throughout the village. Butjust who is behind this random act of kindness . I havent a clue. A very kind person, though, whoever it is. I think its an elderly person whos done it. And thank you very much. It made my daughters day. A lot of people talk about secret santa, but we cant divulge exactly who it is because were not 100 sure. I think its absolutely wonderful. We need a lot of kindness in this world today. And if this village can have it, good on you, sport. So the mystery continues. But if you live in kegworth keep looking, you mayjust find a little gift of happiness. Holly hamilton, bbc news. Well, someone who already has found that happiness, lauren and david joined me now. Lauren, you find a little presence, where did you find it . Ive found it on a road sign on the other side of the co op here. Ill be talking to vinnytsia, are we talking a new car, what have we got . It was a box of chocolates and it was so lovely. Some people have found actual chocolates and selection boxes and things like that. Is only a box of chocolates or biscuits, really, but thats not what its about. It is the fact that it isa what its about. It is the fact that it is a little bit of christmas spirit. Its lovely. As such a surprise to find Something Like that in keg worth. Its never happened before. It has been going on for about two weeks now. Every time someone finds that they pretty much always put it on this group and everyone congratulates them and secret santa. Love the idea of a secret santa. David lemieux from the parish council, are you surprised by the reaction to this . Incredible reaction, notjust in keg worth but the national press. You are the bbc, nationwide, we have had abu sky television, has been in the daily mail, london newspapers, gives a nice warm glow about keg worth. You said earlier, the fact that this sort of place, you are not surprised by the friendliness, this attitude of somebody secretly doing this and giving a presence, but it still has brought a little bit of cheer to the village. Yes, it has. There is a generous spirit in keg worth. A lot of the organisations that are in keg worth by volunteers. Very generous spirit. And this reflects that. And have you any idea who would be . No, i havent. And ifi have you any idea who would be . No, i havent. And if i had a wouldnt be able to tell you laughter. Any ideas . We have a lot of ideas, many conspiracy theories, but we dont know. It remains a mystery. I think i will have to have a sniff around and try to find out. What you reckon . Secret santa, dan and louise, is it you . Do you know . |j louise, is it you . Do you know . have not gone all the way over there. They havent, 0llie. It is lovely to hear that. Its a lovely story, isnt it . I know it is a nonimportant issue, but sally was telling us earlier thatJose Mourinho cant iron. But sally was telling us earlier that Jose Mourinho cant iron. We agree on this. It is a life skill. And i do love and iron. Why dont do this with the telly on, in complete silence. How often you actually do the ironing . Every day.

There is nothing like that make £. Feel free to get in touch with us. Time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london. Imjim wheble. The borough of kensington and chelsea is hoping to become the First Council to do its own fire risk assessments. The move has been welcomed by some of those affected by the Grenfell Tower tragedy who think it will make the council accountable, but others say it should be the job of the fire brigade. Today, for the First Time Ever, cleaners and academics at ucl will go on strike together. Cleaners and security staff will be demanding an end to outsourcing, while academics are striking over pay and conditions. Its not the first time workers have striked at londons Largest University last month workers went on strike over outsourcing. A new study has suggested phasing out the 60 london 0ystercard. It provides free travel on all transport for London Services after 9 30am for all 60 to 65 year olds. It costs tfl an estimated £70 million but the think tank centre for london believes this could rise to £130 million by 2024. Its urged a review as those who are eligible are often better off than younger groups. Richmond upon thames has been named as one of the happiest places to live in britain. The south west london borough was ranked third in a survey by the housing website rightmove. Locations were graded on a number of qualities including its community spirit, safety, green spaces, and restaurants. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. There are minor delays on the metropolitan line between harrow on the hill and watford due ton a signal issue. 0n the trains there is disruption on Southeastern Services through brixton. The rotherhithe tunnel is closed in both directions due to an accident which involved three cars. In brentford, the high street is closed in both directions between green dragon lane and ealing road after a fire broke out at the Travelodge Hotel. Now the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. Now you might come across some mist and fog first thing this morning. The met office has a yellow weather warning place for dense patches of fog with reduced visibility as well. So some dangerous driving conditions for some this morning. We will see quite a lot of cloud around as well, once mist and fog lives that will largely be into cloud and it could actually take its time to lift if you have it through to this afternoon. Temperatures between six and eight celsius. So again is feeling quite chilly. 0vernight tonight will get some clearer spells, so we could see some mist and fog then cloud as we have through the early hours of tomorrow morning. Thats a cold front. Might get a spot of rain, largely dry. The minimum temperature between 1 and one. So again hovering around the 0dc mark. A chilly start tomorrow morning, a bit of that first thing, that should break up and we will get some sunny spells through the afternoon. The temperatures a little milder, ten celsius, and it turns breezy overnight. Thursday into friday the wind strengthens, the rain arrives, and the temperature also rises. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Now though its back to dan and louise. Bye for now. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and Louise Minchin. 0ur headlines today in an attempt to bring harmony to the nato summit, Boris Johnson will appeal to World Leaders for unity. It comes as a bitter row overshadows the meeting with donald trump, criticising president macron of france for describing the military alliance as brain dead. The porter who fought off the London Bridge attacker says he acted instinctively by grabbing a pole to try and stop the convicted terrorist who killed two people. The deals that give you fuel for thought, the aas says petrol vouchers are becoming more expensive and complex, putting poorer drivers ata and complex, putting poorer drivers at a disadvantage. Manchester city are back to winning ways. They beat burnley 4 1 in the premier league last night to close the gap on leaders liverpool to eight points. Well try to solve the mystery of the secret santa delighting residents of a leicestershire village by leaving presents in random locations. And no secret, it is set to turn milder later this week, a chilly start to england and, rain for scotla nd start to england and, rain for scotland and ill have your full forecast here on breakfast chilly start to england and wales. Borisjohnson is expected to encourage and all for one and one for all unity amid tensions during the nato summit. James landale has more. Not every military alliance gets to celebrate its 70th birthday with the queen at Buckingham Palace, but nato leaders past and present have been keeping her realm safe since just before she ascended the throne. Behind last nights smiles, though, there were some real disagreements about the future. This is the man asking difficult questions, president macron of france said nato was suffering strategic brain death, prompting a rare defence of the alliance from donald trump. Well, when you make a Statement Like that, that is a very, very nasty, statement to essentially 28 including them, 28 countries. I think that, you know, you have a high Unemployment Rate in france, france is not doing well economically at all. Gunfire. Mr macrons big concern is over the actions of another nato member, turkey, and its military incursion in syria. President erdogan of turkey wants nato to treat its former kurdish allies in syria as terrorists. But the french president says the alliance should stay focused on tackling isis fighters. Im sorry to say that we dont have the same definition of terrorism around the table. When i look at turkey, they now are fighting against those who fight with us who fought with us, shoulder to shoulder, against isis. And sometimes they work with isis plots. And if thats not enough, donald trump is still attacking nato allies for not spending more on defence, describing those missing targets as delinquents and threatening them with trade sanctions. So when nato leaders gather today at this hotel in watford for their formal meeting, the focus will be on trying to overcome the differences and find some Common Ground on how to approach china and new threats in cyber and space. Nato has survived because its been able to adapt. 70 years on, the alliance is under pressure to change once again. James landale, bbc news. Our World Affairs correspondent, Richard Galpin, is in watford where the nato leaders will meet. Richard, whats on the agenda today . There is a lot on the agenda. These leaders will try to pave over divisions. President macron has basically thrown a grenade into the room and stirred things up enormously. But the official agenda as far as the secretary general of nato is concerned is they want to be looking to the future and read it readiness of forces. A new area was making space and operational domain. The safety of satellites was a concern in that they might be compromised. They are vital for navigation and communication. So those are really issues that will be discussed, and the issues of fighting terrorism and the perceived threat from russia. Another new element is looking out china. 0bviously element is looking out china. Obviously it has been modernising its military development and acting in the world stage through a number of different countries. Nato wants to be looking at that but it is only a three hour meeting that is going to ta ke a three hour meeting that is going to take place, so it is pretty short, slimmed down. One of the key elements will be trying to heal rifts. Its fascinating as well, just aside from that, watching those pictures from Buckingham Palace, all of those World Leaders in an awkward in some ways reception. There has been a bit of a social media stir over what some people have been saying . Yeah, that is right. The video has come from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation cbc, in which wasjohnson, the french resident and the canadian Prime Minister seem to be gossiping together at the reception in Buckingham Palace. And it seems like they are talking about donald trump and the lengthy press conferences he tends to give. This is the video. Now, obviously all of that is not going to help heal the rifts. It will be interesting to see there is any reaction from donald trump when he arrives here later on in the morning. So potentially it is going to be quite a testy meeting in the coming hours. I can imagine. Richard, thank you very much. Also, developing on yesterday, President Trump flatly denied claims us firms wa nt trump flatly denied claims us firms want Market Access to an nhs post brexit trade deal, even if, as he said, it was on a silver platter. 0ur Political CorrespondentJonathan Blake is in westminster to tell us more. Its been interesting how parties have been using that in their campaigning building up to the election. Yes, from june last year saying everything would be on the Table Including the nhs would be up for discussion. Now he is saying evenif for discussion. Now he is saying even if you handed it on a silver platter, we wouldnt want anything to do with it. That does take the wind out of the sails out of labours argument that there have been exploratory discussions about access to the nhs in a uk us trade deal and President Trump appear to com pletely deal and President Trump appear to completely shut that down. But its a bit ofa completely shut that down. But its a bit of a double edged sword, i think because i dont expect to back to back away from the argument that the nhs could perhaps be vulnerable in terms of a uk us trade deal after brexit because i think a lot of labour supporters and people making the argument that that could be the case wont believe what donald trump has to say. That said, today, it is not the focus. Labour are talking about the economy, John Mcdonnell was in birmingham, making a speech there where he will pull together a number of labours announcements and offerings and puts a people that they will be better off under a temp in the government. The conservatives are talking transport today in a pot of money, £800 million a year, available to cities in england outside of london to fail and fund rail, trams and bus projects. So in the backdrop of the nato summit which the Prime Minister is involved in, the campaign has shifted back to domestic issues. We will be speaking to Barry Gardiner ina will be speaking to Barry Gardiner in a couple of minutes from the labour party. A kitchen porter who helped to tackle the London Bridge attacker, usman khan, has said he acted instinctively when he ran towards the danger. Lukasz, who has asked for his surname to remain private, grabbed a pole to fight khan when he began stabbing people in fishmongers hall on friday, killing two of them. In a statement, lucasz called the attack sad and pointless. Adam woods reports. Amongst fridays terror on London Bridge came acts of bravery. Here, the attacker is dragged to the floor by passers by, their actions have been widely praised. Among them, a kitchen porter, lukasz. He was stabbed five times and is now recovering at home. In a Statement Released by police, lukasz said he acted instinctively and is now coming to terms with the whole traumatic incident. He says, i would like to send my best wishes to everyone affected by this sad and pointless attack. Yesterday, the family of the attacker, usman khan, condemned his actions and said they were saddened and shocked by what he had done. 25 year old jack merritt and 23 year old saskia jones were both killed by khan as he began stabbing people at a prisoner rehabilitation event on friday afternoon. He was later shot dead by police. Two women, also injured in the attack remain in a stable condition in hospital. Adam woods, bbc news. The american Billionaire Elon Musk has appeared in court in the United States, accused of defamation. A british diver, who was part of the team that rescued a group of boys from a flooded cave in thailand, is suing mr musk after he referred to him as paedophile on social media. The tesla boss says he meant it as an insult, rather than an accusation. Those are some of the main stories today. It is 7 10am. As denials go, it was as blunt as weve come to expect from President Trump. The us wants nothing to do with the nhs he said even if its handed to them on a silver platter. But labour has insisted that american firms will try to get Market Access to the Health Service in a future trade deal. Werejoined now in our london newsroom by labours Barry Gardiner. Good morning to you, thank you for joining us. This is a flat another one of your main claims. Yes, it is. And how strange it is that American Drug companies have spent about £500 million recently pumping that into congress with one objective and thatis congress with one objective and that is to make sure that their patent extension rides and their access to data is on the table in those negotiations. So, im sorry, i dont believe it President Trump is saying. And indeed, if he were correct, then somebody ought to tell our deputy Prime Minister, because dominic raab yesterday was saying he conceded it was possible that drug prices would go up as a result of a trade deal with the United States. But dominic raab on this programme is that only yesterday that the nhs is that only yesterday that the nhs is not for sale. Look, louise, the nhs is not a building, its not something that doesnt hear you are, lets negotiate a price for the nhs. The way you undermine the nhs is by privatising the services. And weve had twice as much privatisation over the past few years under the conservatives, £9 billion extra of privatisation of those services, and what that means is, you know, money is going out of the service and into profit. And what were looking at, if it were the extension of drug patents was a potential loss to the service of £27 billion. So these are huge sums that really would rip the guts out of the nhs. And when you come to talk about data and the negotiations that go on in trade thoughts about data and data privacy and Data Security and the transfer of data and where it is held, the americans are really pushing very ha rd to americans are really pushing very hard to get access to nhs data, because of course it is the oldest dataset on health in the world, and it is the most common transdev. So cani it is the most common transdev. So can i quickly than. We would lose that value. Comprehensive dataset. He said he wouldnt want that even if it was on a silver platter. Yes. Why are you changing your line . You have said consistently that the nhs is being put up for sale. Its not a change at all. The nhs is as i say, its not a at all. The nhs is as i say, its nota building, at all. The nhs is as i say, its not a building, its not real estate that one sells, what you do to sell the nhs is its a series of services, and you sell the ability to provide those services. And if thatis to provide those services. And if that is privatised by companies, American Healthcare companies, American Healthcare companies, American Drug companies that are providing those services, then the profit is being sucked out of the system. Thats how you undermine the nhs because then you ensure that it cannot provide the of services that it traditionally has. And then of course you then build the capacity for people to say, well, if i cant get those Services Free at the point of use in the national Health Service, maybe i then need private healthcare. It an undermining by stealth that is going on here. Healthcare. It an undermining by stealth that is going on harem sounds in some ways as a change in your direct approach that you have taken before. Can i ask you about Jeremy Corbyn yesterday . It was making clear in interviews that he was going to confront donald trump, he had this letter that he was going to give the president. Was he able to give the president. Was he able to do this . No, he wasnt, u nfortu nately. To do this . No, he wasnt, unfortunately. He wasnt able to meet the president when he attended the reception, but im sure on the first occasion that they do come across each other, then they will wa nt to across each other, then they will want to engage, he will want to engage with the president on those issues was that is there a reason why he wasnt able to see him . Well, i think he met a lot of heads of state and Prime Ministers. He didnt manage to meet with the president and no doubt the president had other people he was meeting as well. So we just didnt have time. You want Jeremy Corbyn to be future Prime Minister, but he cant get a minute with the president of the United States . With the president of the United States . Within the president of the United States is not always openly accessible. I dont think theres anything terribly with that. Very gardner, thank you forjoining us here on bbc breakfast this morning. 0k, thank you. Yesterday matt was with us. We only have one more trip on bbc breakfast. Next as here is a big day itself. Have one more trip on bbc breakfast. Next as here is a big day itselfm has arrived so quickly. We will talk about all of that. Matt was in a lovely pub yesterday. Pub, church, backin lovely pub yesterday. Pub, church, back in the pub. I did not get to go and see the pub. Here was enjoying himself. How is the weather looking today . It was all for me, dan, all for me. A little bit chilly this morning in buckinghamshire. You can see clear skies ever had. Up on the hill here. You can just see some fog around the valley, low cloud. As a foggy start for some across the Home Counties of south east england and in and around the area. There is heavy rain towards the north west of the country. Here it is in the radar chart pushing and across scotland. Rain into belfast, glasgow as well during the morning rush hour. Many other areas will stay dry. We have cloud and mist and fog towards the south east. Some of it will live to low cloud. A fairly great day. Good spells across england and wales before rain arrives later on. Showers across scotland, Northern Ireland, more sunshine is afternoon then we got this morning. Still some blustery winds feeding in the showers through the far west and temperatures still in single figures for the vast majority. A chilly day across the midlands and Eastern England in particular. To finish the day, going into the evening rush hour, across the far north west of england, was maz, it will push southwards into the evening rush hour Ancelotti Sargeant southwards into the evening rush hour ancelotti sargea nt is southwards into the evening rush hour Ancelotti Sargeant is allowed. Overnight, nothing more than a narrowing band of cloud and some drizzle to confined to the south is later on. Lengthy clues go through the night for many. It does not take long before the temperatures drop. If ross possible just about anywhere into tomorrow morning. Changes tomorrow, stars of chilly, westerly winds coming off the atlantic, the weather fronts, with then will come are there. The rain is of the greatest concern thursday and friday. North West Highlands of scotland in particular could see as much as 70 80, maybe 100 mil metres of rain over 36 hours, there could be some flooding. Strong winds to go with it, 50 6 e mail per hour gusts. Rain in Northern Ireland, not as heavy and persistent as was in scotland. Rain returns to england during the afternoon. The south and east will stay dry. Temperatures seven degrees across parts of east anglia. 12 degrees towards the west. The mild air pushes through to all thursday night and into friday morning. As we start friday morning temperatures will be higher than we finished thursday. 11 12 degrees was that south east corner. Most in double figures to start friday morning. Quite a breeze blowing. Landy of cloud around, outbreaks of rain coming and going throughout the day. That is philon with the south east corner and the Channel Islands stop elsewhere we will see something jenna jones on friday morning, blustery showers to go with it, and temperature still in double figures for the vast majority. If you have got your highs on the weekend already, weather fronts on the chart mean we will all see rain at some point. It looks like theres weather fronts will push through many areas as we go through saturday night. Heaviest and most persistent of the rain will be in the overnight period. Before it arrives, saturday is probably the dry and bright day of the weekend. Except in Northern Ireland if the rain arrives early enough. As we go into sunday we will see rain at times, maybe overnight rain lingered in the south east corner of the longest. Still a little bit of sunshine at times. Compared to the chilly conditions we have had so far this week, as we go towards the end the week and into the weekend it will fill milder by and large. Hopefully, louise, it will keep things right and not to chilly for you in crewe next week as well. It would be very kind if you could arrange that. What was your question. They noticed the day is a very short at the moment, when do they get longer again . It is usually around the 21st of 22nd of december. 0nly around the 21st of 22nd of december. Only a couple of weeks to go until were over the hump of it and at the other side. It is when it is dark at the end of the day for the school rain. It was in enniskillen yesterday. We are so far west, no sunrise until just after 8 30am. Yesterday. We are so far west, no sunrise untiljust after 8 30am. It felt like a really long night stop it is amazing the difference it makes in the south east corner. 8 30am the sun was up. As, as louise said, doth a school run in and out as well. We are getting there. I am on countdown. Stay positive. You always wake up in the dark for thisjob positive. You always wake up in the dark for this job anyway. For me it is the school run in the dark at the end of the day that kind of gets to me. A like to go out with the dogs. Does it affect your mood . Never affects my mood always positive. No, i would like it light until about five p. M. No, i would like it light until about five p. M. That would be ideal. Nine oclock at night, even better. I am sure matt saw that for you enquiry next week. Lets take a look at todays papers. The Daily Telegraph reports on Donald Trumps visit to the uk for a nato summit and his denial that the nhs would be on the table during future us uk trade talks. The guardians front page says Jeremy Corbyn remains sceptical about President Trumps comments. Labour has claimed the Health Service could be for sale in a post brexit trade deal. The daily mail focuses on an nhs survey which says that more than half of adults in the uk now gamble. The report has prompted warnings over the promotion of internet betting. And online, the front page of the Huffington Post carries tributes to Harley Watson, the 12 year old boy killed in an alleged hit and run in essex on monday. 0n the back pages, Jose Mourinho, he has been defending staying in a Manchester Hotel during his old trafford rain. He says i would have been unhappy living alone in a house. They dont want to clean. I dont know how 2 iron. And i could only cook fried eggs and sausages. It was the i dont know how 2 iron that got us. We both agree it is a life skill. We agree it is a life skill. What we disagree is what you need to iron. I love ironing. They iron my own shows, stuff the kids, i do love a good iron. Louise things you have to do iron bed sheets, duvets, pillowcases, all the time, not just for special guest duvets, pillowcases, all the time, notjust for special guest like your mum coming around or something. Notjust for special guest like your mum coming around or somethingm course you have to iron them ive find it staggering that you were. That i would bother to iron my pillows . That i would bother to iron my pillows . You cant go into bed without an iron sheet . pillows . You cant go into bed without an iron sheet . I would much prefer without an iron sheet . I would much p refer to without an iron sheet . I would much prefer to do it. It is like a hotel then. He could have had a hotel at home if you knew how to iron full up on this i dont know thing queer eye. And the fact that you can do ironing every day staggers me. They know there are far more important things in the world. Are you going to do things in the world. Are you going todoa things in the world. Are you going to do a survey . I am going to do a survey and find out how the people in the United Kingdom are with you on this and they always own their bedsheets, think it is a complete waste of time. Get in touch. Do tell him that they write. It is 23 minutes past seven. That that i that i am right. In the last few years, weve brought you plenty of worrying stories about our polluted seas and the harm being done to marine life. So heres some good news for a change. The number of atlantic grey seals in british waters is at a record level. Theres around 120,000 of them now, compared to just 500 at the start of the last century. John maguire has been to northumberland to see how technology is being used to keep count. Its seal pup season and here on the Farne Islands around two miles of the northumberland coast, everywhere you look there are grey seals with pp5 you look there are grey seals with pops in their thousands. Pops. These two young pups here still with a white baby fur are only a few days old. You can still see the umbilical cord just on the front of them. Amazing. They will be some of the pups amazing. They will be some of the pups that bomb the season, perhaps as many as 2700. That is thats how many were born last year, a record year for the islands. How many were born last year, a record yearfor the islands. As how many were born last year, a record year for the islands. As a frantic time for the seals because this is mating season, which means potential partners seeing off rivals. The islands are now closed to the public until the spring, but the rangers who look after this Conservation Area are flat out counting and marking the pups and they have noticed the population is increasing. We have seen this over the past ten years or so, the likelihood is this is the result of a lack of predators, abundant food as well, because the seals will lead pretty much anything in the sea, lots of different fish species. Despite this they are increasing. But there is a mortality rate of 50 of pups. 0nly but there is a mortality rate of 50 of pups. Only half of them will survive their first year. The fame islands are also result round four the seabird colonies. So what about a birds eye view of the grey seals to help the rangers conduct their account using state of the art surveying technology because yellow is assisting the rangers by doing a lot more islands in one day. So i can lot more islands in one day. So i ca n cover lot more islands in one day. So i can cover a lot more space in the time it takes them to do a foot count. It will never replace the foot count, because my photography has given me numbers to give them, but not the different ages or the mortality rate of the seals. The pups mortality rate of the seals. The pups range of the first three weeks of their life with their mother, fattening themselves up. Eating this rich, fatty mill, which is more than 50 fat. And once the mother leaves, fending for themselves, learn to fish, learn to swim, learn how to be a seal, essentially. And these swimming lessons are vital. These days they have no natural predators, but there are threats to them from 0cean plastics, debris, and the hostile north sea environment. But safe havens such as these and protected status eye helping seals not just to survive, protected status eye helping seals notjust to survive, but protected status eye helping seals not just to survive, but to thrive are helping. Although clearly some days are better than others. John maguire, bbc news, in the Farne Islands. That has got to cheer you up. Still to come on breakfast some early christmas cheer for you. Well be talking to residents of the leicestershire village where a real life secret santa has been leaving gifts for strangers to discover. I have just discovered that Louise Mensch irons details. Would you believe it Louise Minchin. Mensch irons details. Would you believe it Louise Minchin. Would you believe they have time on my hands . Please get in touch with us about the ironing. Im sure that others like things nice and neatly. I love 2 iron but im concerned about your detail issues. Time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london. Imjim wheble. The borough of kensington and chelsea is hoping to become the First Council to do its own fire risk assessments. The move has been welcomed by some of those affected by the Grenfell Tower tragedy who think it will make the council accountable, but others say it should be the job of the fire brigade. Firefighters have been tackling a blaze at aTravelodge Hotel this morning. 15 fire engines and around 100 firefighters are at the scene in brentford in west london. The fire started in the bin room in the early hours of the morning the cause is not yet known. A new study has suggested phasing out the 60 london 0ystercard. It provides free travel on all transport for London Services after 9 30am for all 60 to 65 year olds. It costs tfl an estimated £70 million but the think tank centre for london believes this could rise to £130 million by 2024. Its urged a review as those who are eligible are often better off than younger groups. Richmond upon thames has been named as one of the happiest places to live in britain. The south west london borough was ranked third in a survey by the housing website rightmove. Locations were graded on a number of qualities including its community spirit, safety, green spaces, and restaurants. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. There are minor delays on the jubille line. All other lines seem to be running well. Minor delays on the metropolitan line between harrow on the hill and watford due to a signal issue. 0n the trains there is disruption on Southeastern Services through brixton. And theres a reduced service on South Western Railway due to ongoing strike action. The rotherhithe tunnel is closed in both directions due to an accident which involved three cars. In brentford the high street is closed in both directions between green dragon lane and ealing road after that fire we mentioned earlier. Now the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. Now, you might come across some mist and fog first thing this morning. The met office has a yellow weather warning place for dense patches of fog with reduced visibility as well. So some dangerous driving conditions for some this morning. We will see quite a lot of cloud around as well. Once that mist and fog lifts it will largely be into cloud and it could actually take its time to lift if you have it lasting through to this afternoon. Temperatures between 6 and 8 celsius. So again its feeling quite chilly. Now, overnight tonight well get some clearer spells, so again we could see some mist and fog then cloud as we head through the early hours of tomorrow morning. Thats a cold front. Might get a spot of rain, but largely dry. The minimum temperature between 1 and 1. So again hovering around the 0 celsius mark. A chilly start tomorrow morning. A bit of that first thing, but that should break up and we will get some sunny spells through the afternoon. The temperatures a little milder, 10 celsius. Then turns breezy. Overnight, thursday into friday the wind strengthens, the rain arrives, and the temperature also rises. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Now though its back to dan and louise. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and Louise Minchin heres a summary of this mornings main stories from bbc news the Prime Minister borisjohnson will urge the leaders of all 29 nato states to show a one for all and all for one unity as they begin a summit in hertfordshire today. The meeting follows a reception at Buckingham Palace yesterday, hosted by the queen, and a visit to downing street last night. It marks the 70th anniversary of nato but takes place amid concerns about the future of the alliance. 0ur washington correspondent gary 0donoghue is outside the us ambassadors residence in central london, where the president and first lady spent the night. Gary, whats on the agenda for today . I know there is a flurry of activity behind you. Well, in about an hours time the president will leave here by helicopter and had to that hotel in watford whether summit itself is taking place. Its a very short journey from here. Hes got a really packed schedule today of meetings, theres all sorts of discussions planned, a couple of interesting thought of two way discussions, bilateral those they call them in the business, one with angela merkel, the chancellor of germany and also really intriguingly, a brief meeting with the Prime Minister of denmark. Why is that intriguing . Earlierthis minister of denmark. Why is that intriguing . Earlier this year there was a massive row between the states and denmark where President Trump offered to buy greenland. A state visit was offered as a result. So it will be interesting to be a fly on the wall with that one. He is also intriguingly having a lunch for the 296 intriguingly having a lunch for the 2 club, a lunch for countries that contribute what they are meant to contribute, i. E. , 2 of gdp, and there seems to be aligns forjust those nine out of 29 countries. A kitchen porter who helped to tackle the London Bridge attacker, usman khan, has said he acted instinctively. Lukasz, who has asked for his surname to remain private, was working at fishmongers hall when khan began stabbing people, killing two of them. Armed only with a pole, lukasz was stabbed five times and is now recovering at home. The american Billionaire Elon Musk has appeared in court in the United States, accused of defamation. A british diver, who was part of the team that rescued a group of boys from a flooded cave in thailand, is suing mr musk after he referred to him as paedophile on social media. The tesla boss says he meant it as an insult rather than an accusation. Its 7 32am. Sally has bought now. Lots of interesting stories. We have been taken away with those they moreno not being able to iron Jose Mourinho. Do you jose iron your details . What . No. Louise irons everything. Really . Anyway. Manchester city have closed the gap on premier League Leaders liverpool to eight points after a convincing win over burnley. Adam wild was watching the action. If Manchester City are feeling the heat, a lancashire night in december is perhaps an unfamiliar place to do so. But for pep guardiolas side, these are unfamiliar moments. Much has been made of their recent dropped points but here was gabrieljesus with a reminder of just how brilliant the champions can be. This, their opening goal in a first half where it like it could have been the first of many. Another, only a matter of time. It came in the second half with perfect precision, viajesus once more. Burnley for their part, struggling to get close to city. There was little they could do to stop this effort from rodri. A third goal, three points secure, riyad mahrezs fourth, like city, came almost without a challenge. That was until robbie brady found a goalfrom nowhere. It made little difference. If city were feeling the heat, this was the perfect response. Adam wild, bbc news. It wasnt all easy going for city though, when they arrived at turf moore last night, due to an electrical fault they had no working lights in their dressing rooms but with the help of lights from broadcasters and their phone torches they were able to have a post match party. I want to know where the disco lights came from. They arrived with disco lights. They are massive. Crystal palace also won. Tonight, theres six more games in the premier league. Theres a Merseyside Derby at anfield whileJose Mourinho makes a return to old trafford as his spurs side take on Manchester United. He was sacked by united last december but says he has no ill feeling towards the club. Manchester united for me now is in my, is in my book of experiences, its in my history, history book. A little bit like mr mandela was saying some time, you never lose, you win or you learn. And at united i won and i learnt. I have the conveyors watching i have to confess i was watching Jose Mourinho very closely to see if his t shirt was ironed. Ronnie 0sullivan is safely through to the last 16 of the uk championship in york. The seven time champion is the tournament favourite but he admits hes struggling with a foot injury and may be forced to pull out of his next match. Ive had it for so long now and itjust kind of like, erm, yeah, my back gets sore, my foot is in agony at the moment, you know, so ijust take some painkillers, just try to get some gear on it, ice it, ive been doing it for the last two or three days. Itsjust an old running injury, but hopefully ill be ok to play, you know . The 2014 olympic silver medallist Gus Kenworthy has announced hes switching his allegiance from the usa to compete for Great Britain ahead of the 2022 winter olympics. Kenworthy, who was born in britain, has denied claims hes only switching now because he might not make the American Team in three years time. He will continue to be based in the us and says he has no doubt in his mind that he could get back into the us team if he wanted to, but said the gigabits qualification process would be easier on his body. Gb process. Beautiful pictures. A mother shot in front of her four year old child, a drive by shooting from the back of a motorcycle, two masked gunmen opening fire in a busy bar. It might sound like a snapshot of life in the inner cities of the us. 0r or maybe a tv programme . In fact, these were just three of several firearms incidents on merseyside last week. Breakfasts tim muffett has been to meet some the people trying to stop this worrying trend and some of those whose lives have already been shattered by it. Yusuf was 18 and set for university when he was shot and killed in liverpool. Such a handsome boy, very kind. My heart dropped to see my son lying down, bleeding, non stop. He had just done his exams. Yeah. Look pass. Everything has been gone away from me. Two years on from yusufs death, no one has been charged with his murder. His mum believes some people know who killed him, but wont come forward with information. I dont understand why dont i have justice . People dont think about what the gun is doing. Last week there were five shootings on merseyside, four took place within 48 hours. In dovecot, a woman was shot and injured in front of her four year old daughter. Police believe it was a case of mistaken identity. At this pub two men were shot and seriously injured. Were in a very difficult situation at the moment. James riley is a former probation officer. He now runs a programme called get away n get safe. He goes to schools to talk to children about the realities of violent crime. I always think about young people who wake up and they hear theres been another shooting or theyre on their way home from school and they hear theres been another shooting. And whether that generation of young people just think, well, thats really what goes on nowadays. And if we have a generation of young people that think, well, thats really what goes on and thats acceptable and thats normalised, then weve got a bigger problem. Merseyside police and other Police Forces cannot address this problem on their own. They need the general public to speak up. Police are targeting violent drug dealing gangs. Its thought many force young, Vulnerable People to carry weapons and move drugs around the country along so called county lines. What are you doing to try and get on top of this . 0k, well, were doing a huge amount. Weve obviously got covert investigations and overt investigations. Weve got patrols out, increased patrols with the shootings that have happened more recently. How are people getting hold of these firearms . They come into the country through a variety of methods. They can come in in wagons, they can come in through the post and a lot of illegal routes. We will police those routes with the other services and take action where we can. In the uk, the use of guns is comparatively rare. There were just over 6,500 firearm offences in england and wales last year, compared to more than 44,000 involving knives or sharp objects. But the brazen nature of some recent attacks and the risks to innocent bystanders has shocked many and has renewed calls for those who know people who have access to these weapons to tell the police. Im asking people to give mejustice. Im still crying for my son. Tim muffett, bbc news. Some disturbing thoughts in that. Thank you for that story ends of the month for talking to us, too. And to the mum. Heres matt with a look at this mornings weather. This is the son in buckinghamshire. You can see some low fog causing problems across the counties and london this morning. So it could be a bit ofa london this morning. So it could be a bit of a slow, sluggish commute for some of you, be dangerous in places. 0n the other end of the scale it is rain that will make for an unpleasant rush hour and parts of western scotland and Northern Ireland. Heavy rain pushing eastwards, not far of belfast and glasgow now, that will work its way into southern scotland, Northern Ireland, but brightening up later. Quite a blustery day. England and was will stay mostly dry. For some it could be grey in the south east, we gradually and parts of cumbria and when it clear up see a bit of rain later today. Temperatures in the south east only around 5 7d for some. Maybe 9 10 celsius in scotla nd some. Maybe 9 10 celsius in scotland and Northern Ireland, but the breeze will temper the feeling somewhat here. Now, do this evening we got that ran across part of the north west of england and also far north west of england and also far north west of england and also far north west of wales. Not a huge amount around but you could be there the evening rush hour. Feeling is that vander ven pushes its way southwards through the night, here decided that we could see some clear skies around and that means a chance ofa skies around and that means a chance of a touch of frost just about anywhere, the main frost free area will be the north west of scotland, it stays busy here to the night and further showers around. It will be a jimmy started tomorrow mornings commute. That is before these weather fronts put in and they will bring cloudier anything tomorrow, so today in which temperatures rides but it is going to turn whether and whatever some, north west of scotla nd whatever some, north west of scotland in particular, it is here where we could see maybe 100 millimetres of rain, four inches of rain over thursday and friday. You can see on the chart, once it sets in this windy all day long. Strong, gusts out to the west. Turning muggy throughout the day and we will see some rain at times, maybe for the northern north midlands, nothing too persistent especially east of the hills. There will be some to the south east of the country thats a dry. Single digits across eastern areas but watch what happens to thursday night. Mild air pushes through to all and you start friday morning temperatures for the vast majority will be in double figures. So that should be warmer to start friday than it will be to finish thursday. Outbreaks of rain coming all day long along the english channel. Still some showers around, still blustery and it will turn cooler towards the north and north west later, but for many compared to the temperatures we have had so far this week, staying in double figures. Sylvia mulder ends of the week, a milder start perhaps, but is weather fronts are an indication that will be serena time. Some rain at times. Elevator weather conditions will be on saturday night, night, that does mean sunday will have some drier and brighter weather, probably the dire day of the weather. Saturday will be drier, so they will have some sunshine and showers. Temperatures are sunshine and showers. Temperatures a re close sunshine and showers. Temperatures are close to what they should be at this time of the year and higher than what it has been over the past week. Many places reaching double figures, particularly in the west. Matt, stay there for a second, if you just turn does make turned on the tv, Jose Mourinho is unable to iron. Are you a bedsheet i know . No. Necessity ironing. Shirts. Nothing else. I know some people who dont even bother with the arms of the shirts. No, thats cheating i have done that. When i was in a rush. When im in a rush, just in the central v. Just iron. When im in a rush, just in the central v. Just iron. I when im in a rush, just in the centralv. Just iron. I thought there was only one person who did that, not two on my list. Sean . I am a full owner. How do the logistics work for bedsheets . If you want i can show you. But it is not that interesting. It has taken me a long time but i have worked out a system. Im surea time but i have worked out a system. Im sure a lot of people im the duvet covers and bedsheets. Thank you, matt. We are not patient ling on you. A lot of people are in full agreement with you. They say they iron their details, pillowcases, some say that their mums used to say that there are standards when it comes to this sorts of things. Im with their mums on this. Details try straight anyway, dont they . Not straighten off what else are we talking about today . Not straighten up. Were talking about petrol prices. There are huge chunks of the market with these deals. You will notice if you do your big shop with one of the supermarket is the potential deals, the knock on effect they have petrol prices. 10p a litre off is a big one at the minute. A lot of them in the past few months of had deals one way or another of having 10p off if you spend a certain amount. That number is also often spent £60 ins door, canopy online . Some are both, some of them you are not allowed to take the discounted stuff into account, you cant take into account what you spendin you cant take into account what you spend in the cafe. What the aa is saying today as they think a lot of these deals are complex, but not only complex, they exclude a lot of people on low incomes as well, because you need to be spending a minimum of 60 quid to get 10p off a litre. They spoke to a lot of drivers, 18,000, about this at the aa and in the end they figured that overall this isnt a good dealfor a lot of drivers. The problem is, for those on low incomes, single parent families, some of the younger shoppers, they cant afford to spend £60 in the store and therefore dont get the 10p a litre discount. In the past, they used to say if you spend £20 you might get 2p a litre, but they dont even do that today. So those people are just missing out. We actually thing, across the board, prices could be lower to actually reflect the world price of oil. Its been pretty stable recently. In fa ct, been pretty stable recently. In fact, it has been dropping. And we do find common areas of the country where there is more competition from supermarkets, prices do tend to be lower, which does suggest we could have cheaper fuel prices at the pumps. That is interesting, him mentioning the 20p, 2p pencil lead free minimum spend. It gets complicated. Jenny sent me a tweet. I recently got this 10p a litre off, she she said it was worth it if she needed to fill up but it is not was worth spending so much in store to get the discount. A lot of people, if you have them lying around at the kitchen at the moment is whether or not . We spoke to quite a few drivers about this as well. This is what they had to say. When i see the petrol deals when you spend so much in store i love because i am going to spend that money anyway and 10pa going to spend that money anyway and 10p a litre of the petrol. It saves me money. I never go for the 5p because they spend £20 was a budget do is buy from the supermarket petrol station in the photo go to the supermarket because they are cheaper. I get the valjas when they go to and i do use those vouchers. Sometimes forget that they have them. Usually you end up buying stuff like dry food to make up the £40 if you want to get the discount. That is a little glimpse of how the retailers are trying to get you to spend that little bit extra. It is very interesting the way people tackle it. But she says a spend of the £40 so she can do it. Can you do it every week . Jenny said frequent £50 offer shop. You spend more to try to make a saving 3. 50 pounds offer shop. Thank you. We have a live shot. We know nato a meeting a little bit later. The worlds media is ready and waiting for the 29 Member States to start talks today. It is at the Grove Country house hotel near watford where they will be arriving in the next half an hour or so. They have a very good golf course there as well. I did not know that for supper dont think they are playing golf. You never know. We will see what happens. We will bring you what we can on breakfast this morning and throughout the day, right on bbc news channel you can follow the developments. Im sure there will be a series of press conferences and announcements later on. You might think the world is rather lacking in good will at the moment. But one village in leicestershire is bucking that trend. A mysterious secret santa has been leaving dozens of gifts around the streets of kegworth, usually alongside a note calling it a random act of kindness. Brea kfasts holly hamilton is there for us this morning. Good morning. Good morning, dan. They say it is the season of goodwill, dont they . This village of kadwell has taken that quite literally, because somebody has been spreading notjust christmas cheer but little presence right across the village for local residents to find cake worth. Who was doing it . We dont know. It is a secret santa. This kind of christmas cheer, the sharing and goodwill is catching on. Christmas has come early to the village of kegworth with a secret santa leaving presents around for people to find. This mother and daughter were on their way to the shops when they came across a gift left on a bench. We just thought it was somebody left it there. You know when somebody sits down and then forgets that theyve left the bag or something there. And, well, tommy wanted to have a look at it. And when we had a look and it said, a random act of kindness for kegworth. I hope you enjoy. Play it forward. So we opened it and it was a bunch of chocolates. Its just really nice for somebody to do that. All secret santa asks is that if you find a present then, in return, you do something kind for someone else, helping to spread festive cheer and happiness throughout the village. Butjust who is behind this random act of kindness . I havent a clue. A very kind person, though, whoever it is. I think its an elderly person whos done it. And thank you very much. It made my daughters day. A lot of people talk about secret santa, but we cant divulge exactly who it is because were not 100 sure. I think its absolutely wonderful. We need a lot of kindness in this world today. And if this village can have it, good on you, sport. So the mystery continues. But if you live in kegworth keep looking, you mayjust find a little gift of happiness. Yes, so some of the people who have received those little presence join me now in kegler. They got up very early in the morning. Charlie, you found a present, what did you get . Some chocolate and inside there was some buttons and. Have you eaten them all already . Good man. Why would have done that as well. You said you want to do something similar now for somebody else. Yes. What are you planning on doing . Getting one of them and wrapping it up getting one of them and wrapping it up and hiding it. So you are going to become another secret santa just like the one who left one for you. And, mum, this is what it is all about. We have been spreading this mystery. There is a secret santa but others people seem to be doing it, too. When charlie found his he was so happy. He says straightaway that he wanted to do it. So that is what were going to do, get a view and them out. It is so good to do. You found some. What did you get . them out. It is so good to do. You found some. What did you get . I got a chocolate reindeer with lake shaped with a reindeer inside. And when did you find it, when did you seeit . When did you find it, when did you see it . My mummy found itjust by the park down the road beside the school. And what did you think when you found a present . Did you think it was for you . Yes. You thought im having that what did you think, finding a present like that is lovely. Sweating some christmas cheer and kegworth. It is lovely. Such a kind thing to do. And it is making people that you forward and do the same thing. So we will never know who secret santa is. Is lovely. Thats the thing. Nobody knows who it is. Karen, have to ask you as well, it has been bringing so much cheer to the village was not nobody knows who it is was not what you make of it . I think is wonderful. Its good news. It is the time of year when you need to spread good news. The kids have loved it. Everybody has enjoyed it. Why do you think somebody would do this . think somebody would do this . think it is bringing positive news back. Something to be happy about, reminding people what christmas is about. They love it. Its great. The kids are getting on board with it. Its fantastic. I dont think it is just the kids, to be perfectly honest, i think it is the big kids. You found a present, to . It is only small, a little bit of chocolate, but such a difference. It brings the community together. We have a lot of old villages, second or third generation, and a lot of students, it brings everyone together. David, you are from the parish council, are you are from the parish council, are you surprised by the reaction . Amazing. For months. Big thanks to whoever is behind it. Have you found out who it is . I have looked everywhere. I have looked at everyone. I thought it was charlie and patty for a second. It turns out it is not. Two seconds, hang on, think there is something in the street. Hang on, hang on look what ifound street. Hang on, hang on look what i found you know street. Hang on, hang on look what ifound you know what street. Hang on, hang on look what i found you know what im street. Hang on, hang on look what ifound you know what im going to do . Iam ifound you know what im going to do . I am going to spread some of this christmas cheer. Dan and always, im bringing this back home to you. Thank you very much fingers crossed it is chocolate and louise. I love the fact it has remained secret that someone tells us that the person who is that secret santa, apparently they have been there in the vicinity of holly this morning. There you go. That could be a clue. It is a lovely idea. And doing that without wanting the attention of who the person might be. A really nice idea. Coming up might be. A really nice idea. Coming up on breakfast this morning. Im dreaming of a white christmas. To millions of people, bing crosby was and still is the sound of christmas. But to mary crosby he was simply dad. Shell be joining us on the sofa to share some very special memories after nine. There are 18 million streams of that song every single christmas day. You can see why. Time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london. Imjim wheble. The borough of kensington and chelsea is hoping to become the First Council to do its own fire risk assessments. The move has been welcomed by some of those affected by the Grenfell Tower tragedy who think it will make the council accountable, but others say it should be the job of the fire brigade. Firefighters have been tackling a blaze at a Travelodge Hotel this morning. 15 fire engines and around 100 firefighters are at the scene in brentford in west london. The fire started in the bin room in the early hours of the morning the cause is not yet known. About a quarter past two, half past two, the alarms were going off for a fire in the hotel. They made sade, the sun, people rushing around the building. It turns out there is all a bit panicking panicky. Fire brigade turns up five minutes later to extinguish the blaze. Then it is going up the cladding and smokers pouring at the top of the building. A new study has suggested phasing out the 60 london 0ystercard. It provides free travel on all transport for London Services after 9 30am for all 60 to 65 year olds. It costs tfl an estimated £70 million but the think tank centre for london believes this could rise to £130 million by 2024. Its urged a review as those who are eligible are often better off than younger groups. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. There are minor delays on the jubille line. All other lines seem to be running well. Minor delays on the metropolitan line between harrow on the hill and watford due to a signal issue. 0n the trains there is disruption on Southeastern Services through brixton. The rotherhithe tunnel is closed in both directions due to an accident which involved three cars. In brentford, the high street is closed in both directions between green dragon lane and ealing road after that fire we mentioned earlier. Now the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. Now, you might come across some mist and fog first thing this morning. The met office has a yellow weather warning place for dense patches of fog with reduced visibility as well. So some dangerous driving conditions for some this morning. We will see quite a lot of cloud around as well. Once that mist and fog lifts it will largely be into cloud and it could actually take its time to lift if you have it, lasting through to this afternoon. Temperatures between 6 and 8 celsius. So again its feeling quite chilly. Now, overnight tonight well get some clearer spells, so again we could see some mist and fog then cloud as we head through the early hours of tomorrow morning. Thats a cold front. Might get a spot of rain, but largely dry. The minimum temperature between 1 and 1. So again hovering around the 0 celsius mark. A chilly start tomorrow morning. A bit of cloud first thing, but that should break up and we will get some sunny spells through the afternoon. The temperatures a little milder, 10 celsius. Then turns breezy.

It comes as a bitter row overshadows the meeting with donald trump criticising president macron of france for describing the military alliance as brain dead. The porter who fought off the London Bridge attacker says he acted instinctively by grabbing a pole to try to stop the convicted terrorist who killed two people. Manchester city are back to winning ways. They beat burnley 4 1 in the premier league last night to close the gap on leaders liverpool to eight points. In weather, a chilly start across england and wales, dense fog in the south east but scotland and Northern Ireland will see rain and i have the full forecast coming up, right here on breakfast. Its wednesday the 4th of december. Our top story. Borisjohnson has arrived at the nato summit in hertfordshire to ask the 29 states to come together. The meeting marks natos 70th anniversary, but it comes amid tensions about the future of the alliance. 0ur Diplomatic CorrespondentJames Landale reports. Not every military alliance gets to celebrate its 70th birthday with the queen at Buckingham Palace, but nato leaders past and present have been keeping her realm safe since just before she ascended the throne. Behind last nights smiles, though, there were some real disagreements about the future. This is the man asking difficult questions, president macron of france said nato was suffering strategic brain death, prompting a rare defence of the alliance from donald trump. Well, when you make a Statement Like that, that is a very, very nasty, statement to essentially 28 including them, 28 countries. I think that, you know, you have a high Unemployment Rate in france, france is not doing well economically at all. Gunfire mr macrons big concern is over the actions of another nato member, turkey, and its military incursion in syria. President erdogan of turkey wants nato to treat its former kurdish allies in syria as terrorists. But the french president says the alliance should stay focused on tackling isis fighters. Im sorry to say that we dont have the same definition of terrorism around the table. When i look at turkey, they now are fighting against those who fight with us who fought with us, shoulder to shoulder, against isis. And sometimes they work with isis plots. And if thats not enough, donald trump is still attacking nato allies for not spending more on defence, describing those missing targets as delinquents and threatening them with trade sanctions. So when nato leaders gather today at this hotel in watford for their formal meeting, the focus will be on trying to overcome the differences and find some Common Ground on how to approach china and new threats in cyber and space. Nato has survived because its been able to adapt. 70 years on, the alliance is under pressure to change once again. James landale, bbc news. Our World Affairs correspondent, Richard Galpin, is in watford where the nato leaders will meet. They have all been arriving in the last few minutes or so. Good morning. Borisjohnson last few minutes or so. Good morning. Boris johnson has just arrived in the last few minutes and has been speaking there as well. Yes, absolutely. As you say, the leaders are now arriving on Boris Johnson has been amongst them and before i go to that, i have also had a statement from the nato secretary jensen secretary general pushing back against the criticism of nato from some of the leaders yesterday that it from some of the leaders yesterday thatitis from some of the leaders yesterday that it is not dealing with key Strategic Issues and the secretary general says nato is delivering on deterrence and defence and they are moving into new domains because of concerns about security of satellites which are vital for communication and navigation and it was said that nato was tackling the issue of 5g, obviously a reference to the 5g infrastructure being built in various countries and we are looking into the issue of the rise of china, so some robust comments from the head of nato before this meeting gets under way and that is being underlined by borisjohnson. He hasjust being underlined by borisjohnson. He has just appeared and being underlined by borisjohnson. He hasjust appeared and he has been speaking about the key issue of the unity of nato. The reason nato is so successful and provides peace and security for 29 countries, 1 billion people it is these sale simple concept of safety in numbers. At the heart of it is a pledge that we will come to one anothers defence, all for one, one for all, that is the co re for one, one for all, that is the core of the article five nato security guarantee, and it works. It provides peace and prosperity for hundreds of millions of people. That whole hope of trying to get more unity after all the problems yesterday in some ways has been thrown back again. It still alive issue because of this video from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation where they picked up on Boris Johnson im a canadian Prime Minister and the french president talking in Buckingham Palace about donald trump in a somewhat derisory way, so the rifts, i dont think, will be healed that quickly. Richard will be healed that quickly. Richard will be healed that quickly. Richard will be covering that through the day and in terms of President Trump, we can show you the live feed of people arriving in hertfordshire. Nobody there at the moment but they will be walking through shortly and marine one will be leaving the residency of the ambassador. We can go to that shot and it looks like they are getting ready for President Trump. We understand he will be leaving in marine one, a helicopter, then flying a short distance to where the nato meeting is taking place and we know it is a three hour meeting with so much to discuss on the table. We will go back to those pictures a little bit later and tried to catch the moment when President Trump either leaves or arrives. A really important day ahead for the future of nato and there will be coverage throughout there will be coverage throughout the day across the bbc. Yesterday President Trump flatly denied claims that us firms want Market Access to the nhs in a post brexit trade deal even if, he said, it was on a silver platter. 0ur Political CorrespondentJonathan Blake is in westminster to tell us more. So much has been made of the nhs being a labour part of the campaign, so does what President Trump said affect that . Donald trump is comments about the nhs flatly denying the claim that he wanted anything to do with it in a post brexit trade deal have given the arm pain Election Campaign a shot in the arm at any sense that his denial would close down labours argument was put to bed this morning by Barry Gardiner who you had on the programme a little while ago saying that he simply did not believe what donald trump was saying, and the nhs was still at risk from prior further privatisation which could undermine the service it provides and take money out going to private Companies Instead of being reinvested in the nhs. It is extending drug patents would rip the guts out of the nhs, and as well as Donald Trumps denial that america wa nted Donald Trumps denial that america wanted nothing to do with the Health Service, even if it was handed to it him borisjohnson service, even if it was handed to it him Boris Johnson i service, even if it was handed to it him borisjohnson i said again and again at the provision of services, anything to do with the nhs would not be part of a future us and uk trade deal but with neither side making theirclaim, trade deal but with neither side making their claim, even with the president weighing in it doesnt seem like that argument will be put to bed. Today the parties are focusing elsewhere, labour on the economy and John Mcdonnell will make a speech in birmingham where he will reel off a long labour list of pledges and plans and say people will be better off as a whole under a Labour Government and then you have the conservatives talking transport with an £800 million per year pot of money for cities in england for cities outside of london to fund road, railand bus england for cities outside of london to fund road, rail and bus projects in their local area. Jonathan, thank you for that. A kitchen porter who helped to tackle the London Bridge attacker, usman khan, has said he acted instinctively when he ran towards the danger. Lukasz who has asked for his surname to remain private, grabbed a pole to fight khan when he began stabbing people in fishmongers hall on friday, killing two of them. In a statement, lucasz called the attack sad and pointless. Adam woods reports. Amongst fridays terror on London Bridge came acts of bravery. Here, the attacker is dragged to the floor by passers by, their actions have been widely praised. Among them, a kitchen porter, lukasz. He was stabbed five times and is now recovering at home. In a Statement Released by police, lukasz said he acted instinctively and is now coming to terms with the whole traumatic incident. He says, i would like to send my best wishes to everyone affected by this sad and pointless attack. Yesterday, the family of the attacker, usman khan, condemned his actions and said they were saddened and shocked by what he had done. 25 year old jack merritt and 23 year old saskia jones were both killed by khan as he began stabbing people at a prisoner rehabilitation event on friday afternoon. He was later shot dead by police. Two women, also injured in the attack remain in a stable condition in hospital. Adam woods, bbc news. The american Billionaire Elon Musk has appeared in court in the United States, accused of defamation. A british diver, who was part of the team that rescued a group of boys from a flooded cave in thailand, is suing mr musk after he referred to him as paedophile on social media. The tesla boss says he meant it as an insult rather than an accusation. We will keep you up to date with the nato arrivals at that three hour meeting and Boris Johnson nato arrivals at that three hour meeting and borisjohnson will arrive there in the next half hour or so arrive there in the next half hour orso and we arrive there in the next half hour or so and we will go back in the next few minutes. Back to another story we have talked about. After the shock and horror of fridays terror attack on London Bridge and the sadness over the two lives lost, one source of comfort has been the bravery of those who risked their own safety to tackle the killer, usman khan, and prevent a higher death toll. One of them was lucasz, who was working as a kitchen porter at the Conference Centre where the attack began. Earlier this week his boss, toby williamson, explained to us exactly what lucasz did. Hes the guy who cleans the glasses down in the basement and that is what he was doing when he heard the scream and scream so loud that as a first aider he made the choice to go towards the trouble and it gets to the first floor of the building behind me and its pretty clear that there is a bad guy with two knives in his hands and there is blood, screaming and chaos and he pulls this long stick off the wall and charges towards the bad guy and impacts him on the chest and clearly there is something here that is protective and it does not make any sort of impact. Extraordinary acts of bravery from so many people. Very few of us can know how wed react in similar circumstances. But someone who can is mike crofts, a former British Army Officer who rushed to give first aid to Pc Keith Palmer during the terror attack in westminster in 2017. Sadly, pc palmer died of his injuries. Mike now runs a project which mentors young men in custody and he joins us from our london newsroom. Thanks for coming on this morning and talking to us about it. There are so many things to try and get through after what we saw happening in london on friday in what weve seen over the weekend as well, and the description of those traumatic events as well. Did it bring back a bit of what you went through on that day . Good morning, down. Whenever you see an attack like this happen again you cant help but be reminded of traumatic events you might have previously been involved in, myself or westminster, but many other people involved in several events in 2017. What is it like being a witness to such traumatic events . It is probably unique to everybody how they react, but even commuters who had not been in London Bridge on friday, when they were back on the bridge on monday morning, people we re bridge on monday morning, people were getting quite emotionaljust thinking about what had happened and they had not even seen the incident. Theres a lot of trauma that is associated with any kind of unexpected events like that and a terrorist event is felt all the more keenly because its so unexpected and in many senses out of context. Many people who were not involved with the event will be feeling that, especially those who will feel a deep sense of sadness thinking about the lives of jack and saskia, two people who live so selflessly despite having this amazing gift and graduated from cambridge with masters degrees, giving their time to help some of the least advantaged in our society. And those who were at the event might be suffering from vicarious trauma which over the coming weeks means they might be able to process and those emotions will calm down but some of them understandably will carry the effects of what they saw on friday in the coming months and possibly yea rs. In the coming months and possibly years. What about those who were right in the heart of it. Everybody who listens to his story and saw what it considers him a hero and rightly so but he has said he does not want to talk publicly about it. But i wonder what that is light, when youve been in that situation and its clearly something you are thinking about all the time and there is a lot of Public Interest and questions being asked on people wanting to patch on the back and say what a hero you are and yet at the same time you are trying to process it. How do you recover and cope with that . Its very difficult to recover from Something Like this. I think his story represents the best of british and weve all been amazed by adhering the story and it kind of has evolved as details because come out but one thing i would caution Going Forward is that he is given that time to have space to recover as are the dozens of others involved in the event. We know it must have been traumatic and there were a number of people who showed incredible heroism and even the former prisoners who were attending the event rushed to peoples aid. My experience two years ago, i felt after a couple of days that it was right to give an interview on the heroism of Pc Keith Palmer, but that led to an uptake in the press and our few days after the westminster attack a member of tabloid journalism try to break into our office to find the story and the press really do have a responsibility now to step black and give lucasz and the others involved in the event the space to recover because they have earned that and our respect from what they did on friday. And you now work with prisoners and you are involved in rehabilitation which is exactly what the event in fishmonger saul was about, and the two victims were involved in that, and that is another real area of discussion now, about how we rehabilitate and about sentencing. Has it made you rethink things or is it something you are even more passionate about . Absolutely not. I have no second thoughts that working effectively and mentoring prisoners is the right thing to do and when we talk about criminal justice thing to do and when we talk about criminaljustice a lot of the debate that has emerged in the last few daysis that has emerged in the last few days is very uninformed. There are some people that view soft approaches, some view them as hard approaches, some view them as hard approaches and being tough on crime but the reality is we need to be smart on crime and terrorism is just another extension of crime, so when we look at the entire criminal justice system, Counter Terrorism is an aspect of that and its important we get to the bottom of the drivers of terrorism but also when the police have done theirjob and Security Services have done their job, what happens when somebody goes into prison, what has happened for the past seven or eight years with this attacker . What rehabilitation programmes has he gone under in prison, and how has he been properly supported post his release by the Probation Service . The current reoffending rates in the Prison Service are 48 for adults within one year and that speaks to a system thatis one year and that speaks to a system that is not functioning effectively and what happened on friday is just another extension of many sections ofa another extension of many sections of a non functioning system. We really need to get to the root and branch of what is going on in the kernel justice system, branch of what is going on in the kerneljustice system, how are prisons effectively providing what they are supposed to. Really interesting debate, mike. That is mike crofts, a witness to what happened to Pc Keith Palmer a few yea rs happened to Pc Keith Palmer a few years ago and reflecting on his thoughts on what many will have seen and gone through on friday. Very good points about the need for space and time. Lets catch up with the weather. Looks like it might be a lovely day. Quite atmospheric for some. This is the view in somerset from one of the weather watchers in the last hour. Pretty misty and for some the mist has thickened up and there are dense fog patches across parts of southern england and east anglia in particular where you have difficult driving conditions to get through the morning rush hour. At the other end of the scale is the fact that some have rain. The west of scotland and Northern Ireland, this is the reign over the past few hours spreading eastwards and it will affect scotland and Northern Ireland, especially through the morning and the early part of the afternoon, not reaching eastern areas until after lunch, i suspect and then eventually rain into cumbria and the isle of man and across parts of gwynedd, but much of england and wales will be dry, misty and foggy in central and southern areas which might lift into low cloud but we will mostly see sunny spells and son developing across Northern Ireland later on a blustery day with showers packing in temperatures 10 degrees in stornoway and most in single figures and the fog lingers the longest where it is chilly. Cloud and outbreaks of rain in the far north of england and wales which pushes south, fragmenting and a narrowing band of cloud and the showers packing to scotla nd cloud and the showers packing to scotland and later the far north west of Northern Ireland but elsewhere temperatures could be low enough and sky is clear enough for frost into the starting tomorrow morning. Tomorrow whether france push their way in across parts of north west we could see persistent rain which could cause minor flooding and certainly a wet and windy day to come across parts of scotla nd windy day to come across parts of scotland and Northern Ireland tomorrow with lots of rain around and we will see rain at times in the north of england, midlands and north wales and driest towards the south east corner. The Climate Change activist Greta Thunberg sailed into portugal yesterday after a three week catamaran journey from the us. Greta who refused to fly because its bad for the environment is due to attend a un conference on global warming. Well hear more about that un conference in a moment from andrew shepherd, professor of earth observation at the university of leeds. First, lets speak to the british sailor nikki henderson, who has spent the last three weeks as gretas skipper. Shes in lisbon. Thanks forjoining us. Tell us a little about the journey, because its quite some journey for starters. Yes, good morning. Its definitely not the most conventional time of year to cross the atlantic, and it was three weeks and as any ocean crossing is, tough and nature through is storms and waves at us. Overall we arrived in time and we got here safely and it was a success by all accounts. Tell us a little bit about her because shes brought so much of an international conversation, so what is she like . was very privileged to get to know someone so influential and she is a 16 Year Old Girl so she has. She is growing up, in some ways, in another way she is more mature than most adults i have met. She is most significantly very well educated on the Climate Crisis and i learned a lot from her. Is she changing attitudes, do you think, andrew . Absolutely i was in the documentary earlier this year and ever since i was there, any audience i speak to, in public or private, they asked me what to do about the situation or what to do about the situation or what the governments can do. And that didnt happen in the past and people just wanted to listen to science. I just people just wanted to listen to science. Ijust want people just wanted to listen to science. I just want to push people just wanted to listen to science. Ijust want to push back people just wanted to listen to science. I just want to push back a bit, because you had to fly out there to come back by catamaran. What do you say to people who ask how that is helping . The point of this trip was not to travel in the most Sustainable Way possible, it was a trip for greta to advertise and send a message that there isnt and send a message that there isnt a Sustainable Way to travel and i think that is what people have to focus on. The owners of the boat asked for help and there was only one way i could get to them and that was to fly but this was about sending a message and by all accou nts sending a message and by all accounts she did that very effectively. Something else we have been mentioning recently is the fact that the World Meteorological organisation found that this decade is the warmest on record. What does that mean in real terms to us this morning . It means a lot. I look antarctica and greenland and we showed recently that antarctica is losing ice faster than we thought it would and we should expect more sea level rises as a consequence of that in the next century, another 70 Million People in the planet will be affected by coastal flooding and these are not small numbers any more and thats because of our understanding of how the ice would respond to temperature changes that we see happening today. We asked the same sort of questions, but can people, by not flying, can decisions we make as individuals make a difference . Absolutely. We have choices all around us. The country is going to have to move, like it or not, to using electricity. Cars wont be able to run on petrol in the future and we have to change 40 million cars and 20 million gas boilers and change the other half of the Energy Supply to be renewables and this is a really fantastic opportunity for a wind win solution for the country and we can have high techjobs in for the country and we can have high tech jobs in the for the country and we can have high techjobs in the future. For the country and we can have hightech jobs in the future. Bank you ever so much for your time. We might be watching President Trump taking a 20 mile helicopterjourney shortly. He is due to take off to go to this nato meeting and we have seen the leaders arriving there the last few minutes or so. Boris johnson we know is there so far but as far as we understand President Trump has not taken off and we will try to get the shot of that when it happens. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. We have a weather front moving into scotla nd we have a weather front moving into scotland and Northern Ireland and its moving south and breaking up as its moving south and breaking up as it goes, and we see patchy rain in north west england and wales and the fog in the south east will live but but we will stick with low cloud into the afternoon with some sunny spells for south west eglin and wales and north east of england and sunny spells for socks scotland and Northern Ireland and blustery winds developing with showers. Tonight, the showers will continue across North Western areas with the threat of some gales through the night and temperatures staying at five or 6 degrees. Varying amounts of cloud, could be a patchy frost in tomorrow morning. There will be sunshine across southern areas on thursday, further north and west, more persistent and heavy rain spreads in across the north west, especially for western scotland where we could see 70 or 80 millimetres through thursday and evening to friday. Accompanied by strong winds. Strong winds across the weather throughout thursday with patchy rain moving into North Western areas and temperatures between seven and 11 degrees, but through thursday night temperatures should rise across most areas of the uk and into friday morning they will be in double figures. Throughout friday it will be a fairly mild start but a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain through the morning and more persistent rain will spread further south and east and there will be rain at times for many of us through friday, but later on some dry and brighter weather coming through and it will turn chillier in the north west with temperatures here that will start to come down. Thats all from me. This is worklife from bbc news, with Sally Bundock and james reynolds.
