Originally from new zealand, outside of work he was a first class rug player. The coach of the east grinsted club in sussex. dont know anyone that dislikes the bloke. He wasjust dont know anyone that dislikes the bloke. He was just a great bloke. Pretty sure he was a great sergeant, he was great in what he done. He had a positive impact on anyone that he ever, anyone who ever got to meet matt, and he will be. Yeah. At the moment, still numb, it still hasnt really sunk in. But he will be missed. And the commissioner of the metropolitan police said Sergeant Ratanas service would never be forgotten. His his colleagues knew him as a big guy. Begin stature, big and hard. Friendly, capable, a lovely man. Highly respected by his colleagues. Officers, staff, and of course by members of the public. Officers are now working to establish exactly how sergeant rata na now working to establish exactly how Sergeant Ratana came to be shot dead inside the Police Custody centre in croydon in south london. How thoroughly the 23 year old suspect was searched, and how he was able to open fire despite being handcuffed behind his back, will be at the heart of an investigation by the independent office for Police Conduct.

He had originally been arrested on suspicion of dispersing suspicion of possessing class b drugs and ammunition in the early hours of friday morning. For Sergeant Ratana collea g u es friday morning. For Sergeant Ratana colleagues and for Police Officers across the country, it is a reminder of the risks they take each dayjust turning up for work. Jon donnison, bbc news. Katharine carpenter is in croydon for us this morning. She is outside the Police Station where that incident took place. Catherine, colleagues there of this sergeant are now having to investigate what happened to him . Yes, understandably be mood here is still very sombre. We have seen some of sergeant rata nas still very sombre. We have seen some of Sergeant Ratanas colleagues arriving for work this morning heads bowed, and despite the early hours, floral tributes continue to arrive. It is difficult to see, but behind me, behind this wall, there is a row upon iow me, behind this wall, there is a row upon row of flowers. They are alongside candles and also a policemans helmet and a rugby ball, those reflecting two of Sergeant Ratanas great those reflecting two of sergeant rata nas great passions, those reflecting two of Sergeant Ratanas great passions, this policing family, he served the net for nearly 30 years and was only two months of retirement, and sport. We know that he enjoyed weightlifting and also rugby. He was a coach down in east grinsted, and colleagues and players that have paid tribute to him. That was a sporty began in his native new zealand, and overnight the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, has been among those paying tribute to him. Sport he began. She said his death was incredibly sad and she told those who knew him, his friends and family, we share your sorrow. Attribute alongside our own Prime Minister, borisjohnsons. Attribute alongside our own Prime Minister, boris johnsons. He attribute alongside our own Prime Minister, borisjohnsons. He said he expressed his deepest condolences. We heard more about this sergeant last night from the metropolitan Police Commissioner, cressida dick. She said he was both begin stature and bighearted. She said he was friendly, respected by collea g u es said he was friendly, respected by colleagues and the public alike. But of course, as you say, these tributes come alongside a Murder Investigation here now. The commissioner also revealed a little bit more about what happened in the time leading up to the sergeants death. She said the suspect, a 23 year old, had been stopped and searched nearby here in an area called pollards hill, that he was arrested on suspicion of carrying ammunition and also drugs, and that he was brought here and checked in to discuss to be sweet when he somehow managed to get a gun, his own gun, and opened fire. Checked in to this custody suite. The sergeant died in hospital a short time later. The circumstances surrounding dust death are now being investigated thoroughly by the sergeants investigated thoroughly by the sergea nts and colleagues. Investigated thoroughly by the sergeants and colleagues. But the commissioner said any speculation about motive or what might have happened is unhelpful at this time. Katharine, thank you very much indeed. We will check in with katharine a little bit later. We will also speak to friends and collea g u es will also speak to friends and colleagues of sergeant during my brea kfast colleagues of sergeant during my breakfast today. More than a quarter of the uk population is set to be under lockdown rules as new restrictions come into force this weekend. From today in england households in leeds, wigan, stockport and blackpool will be banned from mixing in each others homes or gardens. It comes as hundreds of University Students in manchester have been told not to leave their halls of residence. Richard galpin reports. Manchester metropolitan university, one of the growing list of universities across the country where students have had to go into lockdown in their accommodation blocks. This is the result of a significant spike in coronavirus cases. 1700 students here having to self isolate for two weeks. They aim to suppress the outbreak. It is a bleak to suppress the outbreak. It is a blea k start to suppress the outbreak. It is a bleak start to the new Academic Year. Weve just been told we have to stay in a flats for two weeks. Bearing in mind, a lot of us have already been isolated for the past two weeks or ten days because a lot of us have had coronavirus or been in contact with somebody with it. We have not been given any indication of how were going to get the supplies we need, like shopping, and we have no access to washing machines to wash our clothes. The situation is also increasingly bleak here in south wales. The town of the natalie is today being added to the areas that have already been sealed off llenethly. Nobody able to enter or leave without a specific excuse. Cardiff and swansea also due tojoin the list excuse. Cardiff and swansea also due to join the list on sunday. All this ringing almost half the population of wales under lockdown. Bringing. Meanwhile, from today, people in leeds as well as stockport, wigan and blackpool are bound from gathering in a private dwelling or garden with any other household on this in a support bubble. Banned from. |j household on this in a support bubble. Banned from. I dont think people take notice, personally. I think people are just going to do what they want, really. You cant police it, it is impossible. I imagine if it has got to be done, the measures have got to be done. Safety first. Whatever it ta kes, be done. Safety first. Whatever it takes, if we have to do it we have to do it. My grandmother s by herself so i do worry about her, but everybody has got to do their part, really. The latest official figures clearly show infection rates are increasing across the country. With 6874 increasing across the country. With 687a new cases and 3a new doubts. And now london has been put on a watch list as cases increase. The mare, sadiq khan, calling on the government to increase the availability of tests, and asking londoners to act with caution and follow Public Health guidelines. The mayor. Richard galpin, bbc news. Our Political Correspondent jessica parkerjoins us now from our london newsroom. Good morning, jessica. These are new lockdown measures, they sound fairly restrictive, dont they . Are there more coming . Yeah, well, i think thatis more coming . Yeah, well, i think that is the question Going Forward, as richard was reporting there. Vast swathes of the uks population, about a quarter, i now under some set of local restrictions. London, the capital, is on the watchlist. It doesnt necessarily mean local restrictions will follow, but it does mean the area as being more closely monitored. They will be effo rts closely monitored. They will be efforts to try to ramp up testing in areas of articular concern. I think we hope will be that mitigation measures, whether it is a local restriction, whether it is the new nhs app, whether it is Community Testing, although of course the testing, although of course the testing system has been under strain, but the hope will be those measures will be going some way towards combating the virus. A concern is that the risk of tree viruses tend to thrive in the colder months, so that is a concern Going Forward , months, so that is a concern Going Forward, as the weather gets colder through the autumn and approaching window. Respiratory viruses. Winter. The governments priority has been to keep schools open and the economy going as much as possible, although of course in england recently we have seen a reversion to working from home if you can, and that was a national restriction for england, and we have seen restriction for england, and we have seen national restriction is going on across the uk such as the 10pm cu rfew for on across the uk such as the 10pm curfew for pubs, bars and restau ra nts, curfew for pubs, bars and restaurants, so alongside these local restrictions covering lots of the country, there are also these new national restriction is being reimposed, and the government has been pretty clear, if virus rates continue to go the wrong way, further National Restrictions could be imposed as well. Jessica, thank you. President trump is reported to have picked Amy Coney Barrett, a federaljudge known for her conservative religious views, to become the new supreme courtjustice. Donald trump told reporters that he was impressed by judge Coney Barretts credentials. She would replace the liberal Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg, who died last friday. A formal announcement is expected this evening. Its a year since one of the uks biggest holiday businesses collapsed. Thousands ofjobs at thomas cook were lost and many staff have spend the last 12 months readjusting to a very different life. This week, two former thomas cook crew have been remembering their time there, and catching up with some of their old colleagues. Simon browning has been to meet them. 25 years at 38,000 feet. Now, a newly designed life for adrian and paul. In frodsham station, cheshire, a reinvention. From doors to manual and crosscheck, to their own interior store and cafe. Supported by thejob interior store and cafe. Supported by the job centre and delayed by lockdown, the door finally opened in july. It has been absolutely amazing. We have had such a good reception. What we have heard from a lot of customers is that they want to stay local and shop local now. They dont want to get on the train, they dont want to go into the big city centres. Being a pair of old duffers we had idea about social media and facebook. Duffers we had idea about social media and facebook. Having duffers we had idea about social media and facebook. Having to learn instagram but thomas cook still looms large. So one year on, they are celebrating. Turn up in your old uniform this week, and you will get a free cuppa and the chance to reminisce. Ok, guys. Come on. Lets be seeing you. How does it feel . Amazing and what would any flight feel . Amazing and what would any flight be without the rest of the on board crew . Flight be without the rest of the on boa rd crew . Teas, flight be without the rest of the on board crew . Teas, coffees, gin and tonic. Youre going to need an in flight trolley for that real experience. Thank you the collapse of thomas cook has been at the forefront of what has been a truly devastating year for aviation, and since the pandemic hit, a further 30,000 jobs have been made redundant, and out of that comes our and baggage handlers. It has made it even more difficult for those that wa nted even more difficult for those that wanted to get back into aviation to find anotherjob. I work at a health centre, just part time. And i was hoping that would be a stepping stone, then, two maybe go further into that industry. It has been hard, but then, i was very fortunate i got hard, but then, i was very fortunate igota hard, but then, i was very fortunate i got a job with jet2, on the ground, i thought, i got a job with jet2, on the ground, ithought, lets i got a job with jet2, on the ground, i thought, lets have a different take on aviation. I was there for about seven weeks and then there for about seven weeks and then the coronavirus it, so from there, i was really enjoying the start of it, and then have been furloughed since. I have seen my colleagues go through interviews, the training courses, and then be made redundant again, the second time in nine months. Sol have not gone down that route just yet. One last time before we go. Good luck, boys a door slammed shut on an industry and jobs they loved. Lovely to see you. But like thousands of others, a path to something new now beckons. But there is hope. New challenges, Fresh Opportunities for some. Simon browning, bbc news. At least there is no turbulence. On the part form. No. Platform. Those former thomas cook employees. Lets take a look at some of todays front pages, and nearly every paper leads on the Fatal Shooting of a Police Officer at a Custody Centre in south london yesterday. The times has a picture of Sergeant Matiu Ratana at a rugby match with his partner, sue bushby. The paper reports that Sergeant Ratana was just two years from retirement. The daily mirror headline focuses on reports that the suspect in the killing was known to Counter Terrorism police, although the metropolitan Police Commissioner Dame Cressida dick has said the shooting is not being treated as terror related. The guardian also covers the shooting but its main front page story is a warning from jo grady, the head of the university and College Union, that all face to face teaching at universities should stop until the government irons out issues with its test and trace system. We have those developments from different parts of the country today, havent we . Including edinburgh. And the edinburgh evening news says curfew cops are on party patrol this weekend to ensure that pubs and clubs respect the new 10 00pm closure order. We are going to speak to people in edinburgha we are going to speak to people in edinburgh a little later. And to some of those students who have been locked down overnight, he started university a couple of weeks ago and thought, great, im here, im starting, now they are told not to leave their floods or rooms for 1h days because of a coronavirus outbreaks. Really difficult for them. They cant go to the supermarket, they cant go to the shops. We will be reporting on that throughout the morning here today. It is 6 16am. We will go to sarah with the weather. That is beautiful. Good morning to you, sally and john, beautiful pictures coming in over note from over note from our weather watchers. This was a war a borealis in fintry, stirling. And aurora. The images have fallen quite low overnight, a chilly start to many of us over the weekend, it will deal chilly throughout the weekend. Strong winds again through Eastern England in particular today, strong winds and heavy rain of the past couple of days in the east stop and thatis couple of days in the east stop and that is all down to the fact we have a very slow area of moving the pressure sitting in the east, driving showers and strong winds as well. Breezy across the uk but it will be across Eastern England we see the strongest of those winds. A lot of dry weather on the cards for many of us, a few showers across scotla nd many of us, a few showers across Scotland First thing this morning. Some showers pushing across parts of east yorkshire, into kent and east anglia later on. Most of these places receiving a good deal of sunshine, temperatures 12 15 degrees or so. They will be tempered by the strength of the wind, especially in the east. Average wind speeds of about 20 miles an hour or so across eastern areas but those gusts are likely to reach 40 50 miles an hour. Bigger waves on the east coast as well. This blustery further north and west less blustery. Then most places are looking dry and clear. We have macarthur central and eastern parts, so that. Temperatures fall into low here, but under those clearings goes we could see a touch of frost, singularly for scotland and Northern Ireland first thing tomorrow morning. Through the day tomorrow, quite a lot of dry weather once again on the cards for most areas. Still the odd shower across the south and south east of england but few and far between. Cardio skies here, brighterfurther few and far between. Cardio skies here, brighter further north and west as well cloudy skies here. Were still a little below par for temperatures. Those winds not as strong as in recent days but still breezy along east coast. Temperatures around 11 17 degrees on sunday, looks dry as we head into monday and tuesday. Thank you very much indeed for now. Catch up with see you later. We will catch up with see you later. Time now to get the latest technology news, with click. Hey, welcome to click. Dont know about you, but the weather has turned very autumnal around these parts, and as expected, the restrictions are being tightened up as the numbers here rise. Here we go then. On the way into winter. Lara, how are you doing . I have actually been a little bit under the weather this week. Dont worry, not coronavirus, but it did get me thinking that if im ever unwell it would be quite handy to just have a spare version. So i have been working on a virtual version of me. I mean, we are a technology programme. Yeah, we are, but we have always said is that the danger, right . If ever they create a convincing version of us, then were out of a job, right . Hi, spencer, im virtual lara. Ok, you may not be fooled, but do you think anyone else will notice . What was that . where did that come from . I was created by ai video generation platform synthesia. It seems that anyone can have a virtual them. What do you think . I think that is absolutely incredible. I think the only thing that didnt fool me was the lip sync. Your mouth was doing Something Weird like you had just come out of the dentist or something. But that is brilliant. Can we bring up the real lara . What have they done here . Have they basicallyjust reanimated your mouth . Yes, well, it was quite frightening to see how wonky my mouth actually is. Ive never noticed that before. But the purpose of this is that it could be used for Something Like corporate training videos where a familiar face or even calling people by their names could be helpful. Ok, how did you make it . Well, i had to make a video of me presenting the exact same thing five times. Now, to do this, i needed to follow their guidelines, which included sitting rather still, not moving my arms and not getting too animated which, for me, felt rather unnatural. So i was expecting the end result to be a little bit strange as a result of that. But once you have made that video, they are able to use it with all your different mouth movements to add whatever sound you have given them, making it look as though youre actually saying it. Now, they can do it using one of their voices or your own. And it also means that there is the opportunity to be able to give you different accents or even make you speak in different languages. American accent hi, spencer, im the new virtual lara. She speaks spanish. Si, si, excellent spanish. Thank you. Somebody who can tell us a little bit more about the purpose of this is synthesias ceo, victor ripabelli. Hello, victor. Now, we have looked at your technology before on the programme. At the moment there is an option of voices available on the platform or you can prerecord your own. But how about creating an artificial version of our own voices . Is that something that is likely to be possible soon . Yeah, absolutely. Ithink, you know, thats the natural next progression of this type of technology. We can now replicate your image in a very believable way and soon your voice as well. The Voice Technology is kind of there today. But it requires a lot of audio to really work. Usually the kind of rule is Something Like 15 20 hours in a professional Recording Studio of you reading aloud a text. Why is it so much harder to do voice than video . Well, there are several reasons, but one of the reasons is that if you think about what a computer sees, right, then if you replicate a video of you in the kind of style you have seen with lara, there is the kind of space of possibilities is quite constrained. Right . Its like, we are replicating video of someone sitting here speaking and we need sync their lips and head movements and things like that. If youre trying to do Something Like this with a voice, the Training Data will be a lot more limited. So lets say even if you have two hours of you talking, right, that is still very, very little of all the things that you could possibly say. So could i use your platform to upload a video of anyone . Not me, and create a virtual version of them . No. Why not . We need written consent from whoever is being uploaded. Everything goes through manual review and we only do custom avatars for corporate clients. So clearly you have protocols in place, but is the very existence of this technology, the fact that all of this is possible, not a pretty big risk in itself that the wrong people will use it . We have seen these kind of things happened before. Definitely. I think that synthetic media as a whole definitely comes with potential for misuse and that something that is really important that we address, both from a technical perspective but also from an educational perspective. I think this technology can be used for good and for bad. Im not sure i think that deepfakes or video is uniquely different from being able to forge text or images or tweets, which has been possible for the last 20 years. But it certainly that something we need to be really aware of. Thanks, victor. So the reality is that making fake videos has become a lot more sophisticated. And we are already all too familiar with how false information can cause real harm and has damaged Peoples Trust in news. And even though most of the conversations have been centred around facebook, youtube has also been a big contributor to the spread of misinformation. Now, the upcoming us election is going to take place even more emphasis on this issue. And so the bbcs specialist disinformation reporter, marianna spring, has been finding out more. Youtube has an incredibly smart algorithm at least smart enough to make the company a lot of money. More eyeballs on a video and more engagement equals more cash. Its simple. But what is not simple is how potent this combination has become videos from Fringe Groups with extreme ideas surfacing to the top and influencing users views. The pandemic has pushed the issue to new levels, with false information about the coronavirus often finding a much larger audience than trusted sources. As the months have gone on, youtube has become inundated with documentary style films from pseudoscientists promoting conspiracy theories. This plandemic documentary received millions of views. Despite efforts to remove it from youtube, facebook and twitter, users were constantly re uploading the clip. And in recent weeks, demonstrators have taken to the streets in london to promote some of the most popular coronavirus conspiracy theories, mainly seen online. A man who would like to remain anonymous got in touch with us after his mum decided to go along. Mum had two posters. One read, arrest bill gates for crimes against humanity. The other had a qanon hashtag, save the children. She was first taken in by coronavirus conspiracy theories on youtube and now she has been radicalised by qanon on there too. Its so hard to have a normal conversation. Qanon is a Conspiracy Theory that suggests President Trump is waging a secret war against satanic paedophiles in government, media and business. Since the last us election, the social media giants have had a bit of a reckoning. They are all trying to clean up their act to stave off a heavy handed regulation facebook with its oversight board, twitter with its more robust warning labels and now on youtube says it has added a new tool to its arsenal to combat misinformation. It partnered up with Fact Checking sites to warn users if the phrase they are searching has been refuted and pointing them to information by a trusted source. Put simply, its a tool where when users go to search for a particular topic on youtube. If there happens to be a fact check, these fact checks are generated by third party publishers, and that will trigger in the results of that particular query, right at the top of the query, and it will link out to that fact check, saying whether that particular claim is false. Often times Fact Checking publishers have a rating of that type of claim, and that will be displayed as well. This is one of the many tools youtube says it uses to reduce misinformation on the site. But none of these measures seems to be proactive and doing nearly enough to reduce exposure to misleading information. With the changing nature of information around this pandemic, what is the new type of misinformation that might pop up . Before there was the conspiracy around 5g and covid, who would have guessed those two randomly separate pieces of technology and science would be linked together . Well, that happened in the course of the pandemic, so we had to adjust very, very quickly to change our enforcement guidelines. You say that these conspiracy theories are new and evolving but a number of the ones that are still being promoted on your platform have been around for months, especially in foreign languages, including russian and hindi, of false conspiracy theories about the origin of coronavirus or even doubting its existence. For content that might not clearly cross the lines of our policies, we reduce that content in our recommendations, so if its borderline content in nature, because as i said, misinformation can be murky, but we still want to reduce the exposure it. Youtube says its removed millions of videos containing misinformation from the platform, in many instances before anyone has viewed them at all. But there have been numerous examples of videos promoting false claims and conspiracy theories about coronavirus, especially in foreign languages. And those have stayed on for months, accumulating hundreds of thousands of views. The Mozilla Foundation behind the firefox browser has decided to act. This week it has released a new extension for both chrome and firefox called regretsreporter. The idea is that the user can report any recommended content that they found unsavoury. Mozilla says this helps Crowdsource Research into youtubes recommendation problem and it hopes it can force youtube to become more transparent about how its algorithm works. I think that youtubes algorithm is really one of the most opaque ones out of all of the platforms out there, which is why they have a lot more work to do. So youtube has come out with a lot of statistics like saying that they have increased introduced policy changes that have worked to decrease recommendations of borderline content by upwards of 70 . But the problem is that there is really no way to verify whether or not this is the case without involving the public, without involving, you know, researchers, sociologists, people who have knowledge that goes beyond just the boardrooms of silicon valley. That together we are better able to solve this problem of misinformation surfacing in recommendations. That was marianna spring, and thats it for the short cut of this weeks click. The full length version is, as ever, waiting for you on iplayer, right now. As ever, you can keep up with the team throughout the week on social media. Find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter bbcclick. I dont believe it she has already gone and left her virtual self to do all the work. Seriously. All right, from the real me and the not so real her, thanks for watching, and we will see you soon. Bye bye. Hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. Delays in accessing coronavirus tests are continuing to cause disruption to hospital doctors. Thats according to new Research Given to the bbc. The Royal College of physicians surveyed its members and said that testing remains an enormous problem. Werejoined now by its president , professor andrew goddard. Morning, professor. You have produced this report lots of different key findings. What are the main headlines you can tell us about . Main headlines are that one in15 about . Main headlines are that one in 15 dock as i currently not at work because they are either off sick or they are waiting for tests themselves for family members, for covid 19. But as i headline finding. Others are but most feel we are ready for a second wave, but two thirds of hospitals are seeing an increase, and the second wave is happening. What are the Biggest Challenges for doctors at the moment when preparing for the second wave . I think we have been getting ready to restart the nhs, getting normal Services Back on line. We are trying to get ready for winter, and then we have got the second wave coming along. So we have sort of got a three line thing that we have to deal with. Getting everybody ready for that is the hardest bit. And do you know how lengthy delays are when waiting for tests and results for doctors . About half of people are getting test within 48 hours, and another half have to wait beyond two days. But that is two days when people could be in hospitals or in gp surgeries seeing patients. What preparations have you put in place for this scenario that were just heading into the moment . Ok, so, to be fairto heading into the moment . Ok, so, to be fair to the nhs and to matt hancock, everybody is putting an enormous amount of work into getting the nhs ready for a second wave, and trying to prove the testing improve the Testing Service for both healthcare workers and set social workers. Our healthcare workers and set social workers. 0ur survey was healthcare workers and set social workers. Our survey was from monday and tuesday last week, but we know that individual hospitals are putting in places Rapid Testing to try to keep people at work. But what we are seeing is that in some hospitals now, there is a big increase in admissions and we are beginning to see that translating into icu admissions. So the graphs that we all watch on the news every evening of the number of cases going up evening of the number of cases going up over 6000 is really not the graph people should be watching. People should be watching the hospital admissions graph, because that is the real test of where we are compared to where we were in april. Because at the moment we are testing a very Different Group of people. We are testing ten times as many people, but mostly in the community, and when we were testing in april that was mostly hospital testing, testing people who had been admitted with covid. The hospitals need to make sure that Rapid Testing happens . Good lines of communication, a close working between the Testing Services between hospitals and also within the community, and a great way and a quick way to get results back to the people that need them. Would you describe the Current Situation is a second wave . Yes. I think seeing the beginning of a second wave, all the signals are there stop we have to be ready and prepare. That is why simple stuff, everybody keeps going on about it, and it is boring, but it is absolutely critical, distancing from each other, wearing face masks and washing our hounds. That is our first line of defence to try to keep the second wave at bay. The difference between the second wave and the first wave, is, we dont know, but it is likely to build a store, it is not going to be as high, but it is going to be long. And the things that we can do, all of us, within society, to try to stop it from getting us, is the thing that will ensure that we can keep the nhs going. Professor andrew gothard, thank you very much indeed. It always comes back to the same advice, doesnt it. Yeah. Hands, face, space. You said it. Mike is here for us would be sport. Interesting comments from the chelsea manager . Yes, well, of course the impact of coronavirus on sport, one of the impact is that fa ns sport, one of the impact is that fans are not returning. We have heard this week about the Lower League Clubs fearing they might go out of business, if they have to stage the whole season without fans, and asking the government for help. But also, a lot of people have been saying, why cant the premier league clu bs saying, why cant the premier league clubs help out, with the players only so much in terms of wages . One week of wages could really bail out a club like leeds, who are in the national league. Chelsea manager Frank Lampard says hes confident the premier league will come up with a plan to help the struggling Lower League Clubs. The English Football League has warned it faces a £200 million collective loss due to the pandemic if spectators cannot return this season. The chelsea manager is in full favour of the bigger clubs stepping up. I dont think there is anybody in any form of the game, the premier league, at the top of the pyramid, or Grassroots Football, but dont, that doesnt want to see this game continue, and for clubs to not go under and for people to not lose theirjobs. So i think there will be some positive action, positive thoughts, and the people who are at the top of the game to make those plans, i would certainly support ideas to try and help any form of Grassroots Football or sport, get the help it needs to stay alive during this tough time. And we all will try and come together, i suppose. Nottingham forest have had their worst league start for 66 years. Its three defeats in three now for them. Last night it was huddersfield who did the damage, Fraizer Campbell with the only goal of the game, a beautiful volley. Forest are third from bottom in the table. Another match has had to be postponed because of the coronavirus. A member of the grimsby squad has tested positive, so their league two fixture against cheltenham town is off. Testing is now likely to be increased in the football league. Were looking forward to a huge day of live sport on the bbc, including arsenal against tottenham, in the womens fa cup quarterfinals. Alex morgan could make her tottenham debut. Shes one of the biggest stars in the womens game, and she co captained the usa to victory in last years world cup. The match is live on bbc two at 5 15pm. Before that, at 12 45pm on bbc 2, you can watch englands women bid to wrap up the t20 series against west indies. Theyre 2 0 up in the five match series. And having spent the last few weeks in a bio bubble in derby, some of the squad are finding plenty of ways to stay busy. Kate cross has become the hairdresser. Havent been there myself yet, but there is still time. Weve also had a massive game of monopoly, and that madsen has become a barrister with her copy machine. So we are doing ok, but it is getting a bit more tiresome as the days go on. And one more thing on the bbc sport website from 11 30am, Lizzie Diegnan will attempt to break the dutch stranglehold on the womens road race title at the World Championships in imola. Riders from the netherlands have won the last three, but diegnan took the title back in 2015 and shes expected to be in contention again today. She says going in with no expectations is helping. Britains Geraint Thomas just missed out on a medal in the mens time trial, after his bike went missing before the race. He had to ride a spare that he was only given three minutes before he set off. He said he was riding blind so he was pretty happy with four place. He finished just eight seconds off the podium, with italys Filippo Ganna taking gold. Lewis hamilton, will be looking to claim pole position later, to give himself the best chance of equalling Michael Schumachers record of 91 wins at tomorrows russian grand prix. But his Mercedes Teammate Valtteri Bottas is standing in his way. The finn was more than a quarter of a second faster than hamilton during practice in sochi. Qualifying gets under way at 1 00pm. And Lewis Hamiltons brother nicolas is also behind the wheel this weekend. Hes racing in the british touring car championship at silverstone for team hard. He says the family are showing motorsport is a sport for all. I almost feel the Hamilton Family, me included, my dad and my mum and everybody, and lewis, if we cant make a change, then who will be able to make a change . Because, you know, the Hamilton Family is the biggest name in motorsport, and were not doing it for ourselves, we are doing it for others. And i think they need to make sure that they value this opportunity and try and get behind us in every way, and we can see that they are doing that, but there is still a long way to go. And at 7 30am well be on the track with the first female driver in the touring car championship for 13 years, jade edwards. Touring cars really do have this accessibility, dont they . They are like the cars that you and i drive into work, around on the weekend, you know, those little hatchbacks, that are obviously modified a bit to make them into racing monsters. Im going to see you driving . No, due to covid 19 restrictions i didnt get the opportunity. But i did get a taste of what it is like. And jade, she says, well, i would spoil too much but she said she was quite pleased that i got to drive, because she said that she saw me driving David Coulthard she said that she saw me driving david coultha rd wants. She said that she saw me driving David Coulthard wants. Yes, i remember. It was obvious the on her memory. I think we all remember that one. Thank you, mike. When it comes to protecting the planet, many of us might try and do our bit. But now a new book is hoping to inspire children and adults alike to look after the natural world. Writer Robert Macfarlane and artist Jackie Morris have come together to create what they call a spellbook of wild creatures and places. Our environment correspondent Claire Marshall reports. Snow here. Snow here lightens as the year turns dark. By the canon of the wolf amber glenn of the lark, knight grows stronger, she befalls sharp and more. By the burn of the deer on the eagles tour. Out on the hill, her hondas under howard. By the look of the buzzard at the pulse of the weather. The cold vanishes into spin drift, hail, blizzard s flight. Hare walking is graceless, all long lived levers. Hare walking is graceless, all longlived levers. By the salmon river, on the road of the readers. I wa nt river, on the road of the readers. I want them to be spoken about, like spells. I want them to trip off tongues, and tumble in mines and get stuck so people start singing them. I wanted to be pocket sized so that you could keep it in your pocket and kind of use like a charm, like a talisman, like a place to escape. Why do people need that . talisman, like a place to escape. Why do people need that . I think there are many scared people in the world. There moth. This 1s soft word falls so far short of what the moth world means. Of moths in number, birthed by dark, to flock around torch and loud and porch. Number, birthed by dark, to flock around torch and loud and porchlj love the wild world, rather than the human world. There seems to be running through the world a fierce pain, which you can let yourself feel, and i feel they pain, which you can let yourself feel, and ifeel they need pain, which you can let yourself feel, and i feel they need to protest against the treatment of the world by humans, that we see it as a treasure house to just be ravaged. And itjoins up. And basically, what i wanted to try to do is make a forest. It keeps going a forest of silver birch, and the fox goes into the forest. I am red fox, when do you hear me . A scream in the night that stops you dead. Dark torn from dark, a bolt through the head. My sorrowful love song held to my lover, my trash can clutter, from twilight. It is an id guide. It teaches people how to tell a jackdaw from a crow, or a rook or a raven. It teaches children to look up when swift turned up the city skyline is in may. Swift clinic. There is wander all around us, in may. Swift clinic. There is wanderallaround us, and i hope that it celebrates that wander, which is absolutely on our doorsteps and in ourskies which is absolutely on our doorsteps and in our skies still. One of the reasons there is space in the books is because it is easier to read when you have space around your text. 25 of people cant read. We forget those people. Poetry can seem really scary. They are not about; s, conjunctive nouns and other things like that. They are about using your imagination. Sutton aleut sting, willow berman, forrester and dusky clearing. Sing them out into the night to give moths back there range, their flight. There moth population is down 60 in 70 years, and we are losing these things. We rarely save what we do not love, and we rarely love what we cannot name. And if this book helps teach people how to name things, that i hope it will teach them how to love, and how to save as well, and we need that right now. My hope is that the lost spells will read or bring a love in children of the wild world, and just remind adults. Of what they have to lose. But they are not the policymakers. And it will be too late by the time they are. We need our children to wake us up, i think, to the fact that if we dont do something, then we are all pretty lost. Claire marshall, bbc news. That was beautiful, wasnt it . Oh, yeah do you feel less stressed . A little. We all need to get outside this weekend, dont we . Do we . Let us find out. Shall we. Sarah, youre looking at the skies and all sorts of ways. Good morning, a serene start to the day. We had a beautiful Aurora Borealis across parts of scotland, this ta ken Aurora Borealis across parts of scotland, this taken by weather watchers inventory, stirling. Many bases or that beautiful aurora in the skies last night. Many places. Italy started the weekend, single figures around and it stays chilly through the weekend. Strong winds around across Eastern England and parts of eastern scotland as well because there is that area of low pressure quotes low moving, it has been with us quite a few days now, giving us those showers and brisk northerly winds. Windiest across the east coast of england where it will be quite cloudy with showers but for the rest of the uk, perhaps wanted to make showers in northern scotland this morning but a lot of dry weather, so long as a blue sky and sunshine on offer. It will be cloudier in the east and the code will drift its way into the midlands and central and southern england later on this afternoon. Temperatures 12 15 degrees for most of us orso, temperatures 12 15 degrees for most of us or so, tempered by the strength of the wind. These are the average speeds of the wind, about 20 kilometres an hour miles an hour, gusts of 40 50 miles an hour. Those showers in the east will fade away through this evening and overnight, so clear skies for western parts of the uk over note, exit more cloud in the uk over note, exit more cloud in the east, where you do see disguise clearing will be quite chilly once again, with temperatures near or even below freezing across of scotla nd even below freezing across of scotland and Northern Ireland. For tomorrows weather, similar to today, an east west split. More cloud for central and Eastern England. Still breezy, but not quite as windy as we have seen over the last couple of days. By tomorrow, top temperatures still on the cool side, about 11 17 degrees. Top temperatures still on the cool side, about 11 17 degrees. Thank you very much indeed. Well be back with the headlines at seven oclock. Now on breakfast, its time for the film review. Hello and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode, rounding up the best movies available for viewing in cinemas and in the home. The standout new release this week is missjuneteenth, the directorial feature debut from Channing Godfrey peoples, whose cv includes writing credits on tv series queen sugar. Turquoisejones. Is that you . I havent seen you since the pageant. It slipped my mind that you have a daughter old enough to be in the pageant. Set in fort worth, texas, this very engaging drama follows a former pageant winner whose daughter is now competing for the same title that her mother won years ago. Whats her problem . I beat her. Nicole beharie is turquoisejones, the one time beauty queen now juggling shifts at the local diner bar at the funeral parlour while trying to ensure that teenager kai gets the breaks she never had. Not only will you represent your beautiful selves, but our history as well. Turquoise desperately wants her headstrong daughter to win missjuneteenth, a pageant celebrating the belated freeing of slaves in texas on june the 19th, 1865, a full two and a half years after the emancipation proclamation of 1863. That sense of delay or deferred emancipation runs throughout the film, as turquoise continues to battle against inequality as a working single mother who found herself unable to pursue her own aspirational dreams. Pick up your salad fork. Yet despite this strong, historical, political underpinning, its the warm and empathetic portrayal of day to day life that shines through peoples film. Having grown up in fort worth, she understands the rhythms and the resilience of this community, clearly relishing the blend of true grit and true beauty that lies at the heart of her film. Thats my baby its no surprise that both mother and daughter should turn to Maya Angelous phenomenal woman as a defining mantra, although the differing ways that each interpret that poem speaks volumes about the changing world in which they live. You can find missjuneteenth in cinemas and on vod platforms now. Jonathan, um. This is amazing. Oh, no, no. He wont. Ive had one before. When . Well, its illegal, so, youre not getting any. So is killing grandma. 0h, nice comeback, kiddo in bille augusts acclaimed 2014 danish drama silent heart, a woman suffering from a terminal disease gathers her family around her for one last weekend after which she plans to take her own life with the help of her husband. Now, original screenwriter christian torpe has revisited and rewritten the silent heart screenplay for the english language remake, blackbird. Hey Susan Sarandon steps into the central role of the feisty grandmother whose chalk and cheese daughters join their father and their mothers best friend for what turns out to be an early christmas dinner. Can we all behave as normally as possible . Over a couple of days, old wounds are reopened and hidden grievances uncovered, with contrived revelations, recriminations and inevitable reconciliations wheeled out in Shopping List fashion. You cured me. I cured you. 0k, tmi, tmi theres something fantastically formulaic and uncomfortably comfortable about the way this all plays out. Its kind of like ajohn lewis ad for euthanasia. But with a cast this good, which includes sam neill, kate winslet, Mia Wasikowska and the great lindsay duncan, its hard to avoid getting just a little involved. It helps that director roger michell, whose credits include notting hill, the mother and le week end, really understands the architecture of dramatic, domestic interiors, making the most of the largely housebound settings, aided by peter gregsons stirring but sparingly used score. You up yet . Im dead soon. You coming down . Having been released digitally to little fanfare on monday, blackbird comes to dvd from the 28th. Do you remember my mother . She read stories to you when you were very young. Yeah, i have a vague remembrance of that. He speaks vietnamese my vietnamese isnt very good any more, do you mind telling him that for me . In the vietnam set british drama monsoon, crazy rich asians star Henry Golding plays kit, a young man returning to the country of his birth for the first time in decades. Your english is very good. Better than your vietnamese. Having fled with his family as a child, kit is now back to scatter his mothers ashes, but encounters with estranged relatives and a handsome Young American whose father fought in the vietnam war make him question his purpose, his heritage and his identity. Directed with understated flair by hong khaou, who made the affecting 2014 drama lilting, this is a very low key mood piece that melds kits own personaljourney with a portrait of modern vietnam as a country in flux, evolving and changing as rapidly as this prodigal son. Beautifully shot by benjamin kracun, whose anagrammatical credits include both beast and beats, this may prove too underplayed for viewers longing for big, emotional climaxes. You can really make something of yourself here. But i liked its refusal to shift into melodrama, encouraging the viewer to see the Bigger Picture and appreciate the sense of place. Monsoon is in a few cinemas and on digital now. Bands would be cool. Such as . Simple minds. We bought how much . Wed like to book pink floyd and fleetwood mac. We decided to book one of your more up and coming bands, iron maiden. Who . The winner of the Audience Award at the Edinburgh International Film Festival last year, schemers is a biographical inspired romp by music promoter turned first time film director dave mclean thats currently playing in uk cinemas. Conor berry stars as davie, a young chancer who we first meet being chased down a scottish street in a freeze frame manner which doesnt so much recall trainspotting as simply sample it. If this movie was a pop tune, the copyright writs would be flying. Gig cancelled. Promoter dead. From there, we follow our feckless antihero as he attempts to put on a string of increasingly ambitious gigs, culminating in a make or break iron maiden concert which may or may not come together. I need a bunch ofjakies to fill the positions. Anyone who saw the brilliant belfast based feature good vibrations will know that its possible to make an utterly wonderful movie about a gaudy presenter staging an against the odds gig that will leave audiences cheering. But whilst Glenn Leyburn and lisa barros dsas masterpiece tugged brilliantly at the underdog heartstrings, schemers is less lovable and, lets be honest, less originalfair. Sorry, what are you trying to say . Many of the roles are little more than thumbnail caricatures. Even davie himself doesnt offer much to root for or sympathise with. Yet conor berry is clearly a star on the rise, and while schemers may be flawed, i predict well see a lot more of berry up on the big screen in the future. Back in 2018, belgian film maker lukas dhonts girl, a fictional drama about a trans teenager who dreams of becoming a ballet dancer, became the subject of heated controversy. Now, the french documentary petite fille, little girl, offers an engaging and empathetic portrait of an eight year old whose gender dysphoria sets her and her parents at odds with a School System unready or unwilling to adapt to change. Remarkable for its intimate access to sasha and herfamily, little girl, which is in selected cinemas and on curzon home cinema, presents not only an up close and personal portrait of specific hot topic issues, but also an engaging and insightful look at the universal traumas of childhood and parenting. Whatever your views going into this documentary by sebastien lifshitz, youll come out wishing only the best for the films wholly sympathetic subject and hoping that the world really is changing for the better. Becky, im going to speak to you like an adult because i expect you to act like one. Man on radio youre not at the neighbours. I know youre in the woods behind the house. Now, alleged funny man kevinjames starred in some of the most horrifyingly unfunny comedies of all time, including i now pronounce you chuck and larry, grown ups and of course, paul blart mall cop one and two. So, it kind of makes sense that his new film becky is a horror inflicted thriller in which james is actually meant to make the audience feel deeply uncomfortable. In a role originally pegged for simon pegg, james plays a neo nazi prison escapee who terrorises a family in a remote lake house while searching for a mysterious key. Wheres becky . Lulu wilson is the young teenager who takes on the baddies with blood splattered, diy aplomb, cranking out what the bbfc have labelled 18 rated, bloody violence and gore, but what horror fans will call a delightfully nostalgic throwback to the good old days of the video nasties. Screaming from the co directors of 2017s bushwick, becky feels a bit like home alone meets youre next, albeit without the wit of the former or the White Knuckle scares of the latter. I dont have your stupid key wilson makes a feisty final girl, dispatching villains with brutal aplomb. You didnt call on me once, sweetheart. As for kevin james, he seems less creepy every time he speaks, which is peculiar because thats the exact opposite of what usually happens. You can see for yourself when becky becomes Available Online on monday. Ill leave you with news that as fires continue to burn in the us, ron howards National Geographic documentary rebuilding paradise is in cinemas, offering a terrifying, if not particularly investigative account of the tragedy which befell the titular town in 2018, and a more uplifting tale of the indomitable community who survived the disaster. Were coming back cheering also, if you were watching the film review back injune and were intrigued by my review of the austrian thriller. Thats it for this week. Thanks for watching the film review. Stay safe, and ill be back next week. Do you know theres more non deciduous trees in norway than the entire continent of africa . Thats fascinating, dad. Isnt it . Something, then we are all pretty lost. Claire marshall, bbc news. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. Our headlines today tributes to a popular and talented Police Officer killed at a Custody Centre in south london. Sergeant matiu ratana was shot as a suspect in handcuffs was being checked in. Well get the latest from our reporter in croydon this morning. 1,700 students in manchester are put into lockdown at their halls of residence for two weeks after a spike in coronavirus cases. New measures come into force in parts of Northern England and wales this weekend, meaning more than a quarter of the uk population is under extra lockdown rules. Premier league clubs to the rescue the chelsea manager Frank Lampard believes the countrys top clubs will come up with a plan to make sure smaller clubs dont go under in this pandemic. Good morning. A fairly chilly start to the weekend. They will be some strong winds around today, particularly for Eastern England, with a bit of showery rain there too. Elsewhere is looking mostly dry and fine. I will have all your details throughout this mornings programme. Its saturday, the 26th of september. Our top story tributes are being paid this morning to Long Serving Police officer, matt ratana who has been named as the man shot dead in a south london Custody Centre. An investigation is under way after the new zealand born sergeant was shot in the chest, as a suspect who was still in handcuffs was being checked in. Jon donnison has this report. Sergeant matiu ratana, almost 30 years in the metropolitan police, was on the verge of retirement. Now, the first british officer to be shot and killed in duty since 2012. He leaves behind a partner and a grown up son from a previous relationship. Welcome to east grinsted Rugby Football Club originally from new zealand, outside of work he was a first class rugby player, and the coach of the east grinsted club in sussex. I dont know anyone that dislikes the bloke. You know, he was just yeah, he was a great bloke. And pretty sure he was a great sergeant, he was great in what he done. He had a positive impact on anyone that he ever, anyone who ever got to meet matt, and hell be. Yeah. At the moment, still numb, it still hasnt really sunk in. But its, yeah, he will be missed. And the commissioner of the metropolitan police said sergeant rata nas service would never be forgotten. His colleagues knew him as a big guy. Big in stature, big in heart. Friendly, capable, a lovely man, highly respected by his colleagues officers, staff, and of course by members of the public. Officers are now working to establish exactly how Sergeant Ratana came to be shot dead inside the Police Custody centre in croydon in south london. How thoroughly the 23 year old suspect was searched, and how he was able to open fire despite being handcuffed behind his back, will be at the heart of an investigation by the independent office for Police Conduct. The suspect is in a Critical Condition in hospital, having thought to have turned the gun on himself. He had originally been arrested on suspicion of possessing class b drugs and ammunition in the early hours of friday morning. For sergeant rata nas colleagues, and for Police Officers across the country, its a reminder of the risks they take each dayjust turning up for work. Jon donnison, bbc news. Katharine carpenter is in croydon for us this morning. Katharine, tributes have been pouring in for Sergeant Matt ratana . Yes indeed, and the mood he is still very sombre, as you would expect. We have seen some of the sergeants collea g u es have seen some of the sergeants colleagues reporting for duty, there heads bowed, and also of the night, the floral tributes here growing from both colleagues and members of the public. Overnight. It is difficult to see, but there is metre up difficult to see, but there is metre up on metre of lines of flowers behind this blue fence, creating almost a shrine to the sergeant. There are candles alongside a Police Helmet and also a rugby ball, reflecting two of his great passions, his policing family, he served on a almost 30 years and was just a couple of months off retirement, and also sport. We know that he enjoyed weightlifting and also playing rugby. As you heard there, he was a coach at east grinsted rugby club. Colleagues there have described him as a brilliant bloke, and also the metropolitan Police Commissioner, saying that he was respected both by collea g u es saying that he was respected both by colleagues here and by members of the public. Tributes to to the sergeant from the Prime Minister of his native new zealand, Jacinda Ardern. She sent her condolences to his extended family, saying we share your sorrow. Many colleagues also taking to social media to pay tribute to a well loved, popular sergeant here. Some of those now involved in his Murder Investigation. Katharine, thank you very much. It was katharine carpenter in croydon for us this morning. More than a quarter of the uk population is set to be under lockdown rules as new restrictions come into force this weekend. From today in england, households in leeds, wigan, stockport and blackpool will be banned from mixing in each others homes or gardens. It comes as hundreds of University Students in manchester have been told not to leave their halls of residence. Richard galpin reports. Manchester metropolitan university, one of the growing list of universities across the country where students have had to go into lockdown in their accommodation blocks. This the result of a significant spike in coronavirus cases. 1,700 students here having to self isolate for two weeks, the aim to suppress the outbreak. It is a bleak start to the new Academic Year. Weve just been told we have to stay in our flats for two weeks. Bearing in mind, like, a lot of us have already been isolating for the past two weeks or ten days because a lot of us have had coronavirus or been in contact with somebody with it. Weve not been given any indication of how were going to get the supplies we need, like shopping, and we have no access to washing machines to wash our clothes. The situations also increasingly bleak here in south wales. The town of llanelli is today being added to the areas that have already been sealed off no one able to enter or leave without a specific excuse. Cardiff and swansea also due to join the list on sunday. All this bringing almost half the population of wales under lockdown. Meanwhile, from today, people in leeds as well as stockport, wigan and blackpool are banned from gathering in a private dwelling or garden with any other household unless in a support bubble. I dont think people take notice, personally. I think people are just going to do what they want, really. You cant police it, its impossible. I imagine if its got to be done, the measures have got to be done, so. Safety first, so, whatever it takes. If we have to do it we have to do it. Yeah, i am worried, because my grandmas by herself so, like, i do worry about her. But everybodys got to do their part, really. The latest official figures clearly show infection rates are increasing across the country, with 6,874 new cases and 34 new deaths. And now london has been put on a watchlist as cases increase. The mayor, sadiq khan, calling on the government to increase the availability of tests, and asking londoners to act with caution and follow Public Health guidelines. Richard galpin, bbc news. Our Political Correspondent jessica parkerjoins us now from our london newsroom. Jessica, these are more rules, extensive rules, increasingly across parts of the country . Yeah, covering vast swathes now of the united kingdom. As richard wasjust reporting, london, the capital, is now on the watchlist. That doesnt necessarily mean further restrictions will definitely follow, but it does mean the situation is being closely monitored, and they will try to ramp up testing in particular areas of concern. There are of course mitigation measures in place to try to combat the virus. The new nhs app launching this week, Community Testing as well, though of course that we have reported extensively over recent weeks, the testing system has at times been under serious strain. The worry, of course, or one of the worries, is that in the colder months, respiratory viruses tend to thrive, so that will be a concern as we head into further into autumn and then into further into autumn and then into winter. The governments priority in all of this is to make sure that schools stay open and they can keep the economy going as much as possible, but we talk about local restrictions, of course we have recently seen the imposition of some National Restrictions. They will be monitoring those closely to see what impact they have. There tends to be a bit ofa impact they have. There tends to be a bit of a lag impact they have. There tends to be a bit ofa lag in impact they have. There tends to be a bit of a lag in terms of the efficacy of those measures, but it is pretty clear, ministers have made it clear, that if rates continue to go it clear, that if rates continue to 9 up it clear, that if rates continue to go up they dont rule out bringing in further National Measures down the line. Just, thank you. We will see you again a bit later. Now, over the last several months on this programme we have spoken at length to the football the Marcus Rashford about his campaign to increase the number of children in the uk who are eligible for Free School Meals. The education secretary, Gavin Williamson, has responded to Marcus Rashfords calls to do more to fight child food poverty. In a letter to the Manchester United footballer, mr williamson said the government was committed to supporting those in need but has stopped short of fully backing his Child Food Poverty Task force. Ive been finding out more. Marcus rashfords mission to tackle child food poverty is a personal one. Following his own experiences relying on Free School Meals and food banks while growing up. My mum, she done the best she could. I remember, we used to go to a shop cold poundworld where everything was under £1, and we will sort of schedule our week so we would get seven yoghurts, and he would get one yoghurt per day. She did the best she could within the circumstances. But there are some families out there like me who have four or five kids, so it is literally impossible to ta ke kids, so it is literally impossible to take control of the situation. After forcing a government u turn on Free School Meals for more than a million children in england, the Manchester United start is calling for this temporary solution to be replaced by a more permanent fixture. He has established a Child Food Poverty Task force, with some of the countrys august food brands. Together, they are campaigning for the expansion of Free School Meals to every household on universal credit. Expanding existing School Holiday food and activities programmes to support all children on free meals. And an increase in the value of the so called healthy starter voucher from £3. 10 to £4. 25 per week. The education secretary Gavin Williamson has now replied, pointing to a range of existing schemes. In a letter obtained by bbc brea kfast, schemes. In a letter obtained by bbc breakfast, he highlighted support including food parcels, Voucher Schemes and a summer food front. But he stopped short of backing Marcus Rashfords campaign, instead of saying i recognise that you want the Child Food Poverty Task force are supporting three of the recommendations in the nationalfood strategy relating to food for low income families. The government will carefully consider each of the recommendations in the report as we approach the next spending review. In response to the letter, Marcus Rashford said i am disappointed by the lack of empathy shown in recent weeks towards protecting our most vulnerable, the future of this country, letting millions of children in the uk go hungry at night is only an issue of humanity. We need to do better. All eyes will now be on the governments next move ahead of what campaigners fear could bea ahead of what campaigners fear could be a further rise in hunger for some of our most Vulnerable Children in the weeks and months ahead. And after nine oclock this morning on the programme we will be speaking to the conservative mp robert halton, who has been talking to Marcus Rashford about what the options are to change the way children are given Free School Meals and how it might be funded. So it will be interesting to hear from him. That is after nine oclock this morning here on bbc one. It is fascinating to see how that conversation you had with Marcus Rashford, what, three months ago, at the beginning of summer . How it has just snowballed. And he has become the significant political presence now, hasnt he . He doesnt want to be party political, but. Well, he would say he is not political at all, he is not remotely interested in politics. He is interested because of his own background and making sure that children have enough to eat during difficult times. And because and of course we have october half term coming up, so that will very much be focusing his mind. Maybe to a person of influence rather than a personal politics. Thank you, sally. 714 a. M. Police officers are mourning the loss of one of their own this morning after a sergeant was shot in a Custody Centre in south london yesterday. Matt ratana, who was originally from new zealand, has been described as a talented officer with a big heart by the metropolitan Police Commissioner, cressida dick. A 23 year old suspect, who was being processed in croydon after being arrested, is believed to have turned the weapon on himself. Lets speak now to former Police Sergeant ali livingstone, who joins us from ipswich. Thanks forjoining us today, ali livingstone. I know these are tough times for anybody who is serving now, anybody who has served before with the police force. Give us a sense of the reaction from the police to this news. Certainly, i, like everyone else, when we heard the news yesterday morning breaking, it is just utterly tragic. And it almost gives all Police Officers, whether they are serving or not, just the ultimate reality check. That although sometimes we feel invincible when we go out and do the job that everyone x acts of us, in actualfact, job that everyone x acts of us, in actual fact, the risks job that everyone x acts of us, in actualfact, the risks are really real. Expects of us. And when i heard the news yesterday, your heart just goes out to not only the officer involved and their family and friends, also his colleagues, who were at the scene and everyone else affected by it. The police does feel like a family. And it would have had a massive, massive effect right up and down the country. Some of these colleagues are now having to investigate other incidents on their patch. Thejob to investigate other incidents on their patch. The job goes on. To investigate other incidents on their patch. Thejob goes on. Some are having to investigate what happened to their colleagues. It is ha rd to happened to their colleagues. It is hard to imagine what sort of position they are in as they go back to work today . Absolutely. And i think the thing with trauma and traumatic incidents is it literally feels like time stops and you are almost frozen in time. However, policing never stops. It is relentless in its nature. I lost a colleague on duty who died tragically, and yet more offices then come in and they are tasked with getting on with everything that the Police Officers do on a daily basis. So that will being incredible it offered them to do that, because the tragedy will eclipse almost everything. As you say, it is only right that we, you know, find out exactly what happened, and that will be an additional thing for them to cope with over the next few weeks and months. I am sorry to hear about the colleague you lost as well. What sort of support was there for you and your colleagues, when that happened in your policing community . Did you feel you had enough backup . I think the police are incredibly good when things go wrong like this. Asi good when things go wrong like this. As i said, it feels very much like family when you work within the police, and that is notjust Police Officers, but staff as well. And i think something we have certainly learned over the years is some of the best support Police Officers get is from each other. That peer to peer support they get is certainly something that is much, much better. And i think that Mental Health is such a big issue now, not only in policing and emergency services, but right across society. So i am sure andi right across society. So i am sure and i certainly hope all of those offices will get all the support they need. Obviously there is an investigation under way in croydon as to what happened to matt ratana, we dont know exactly yet. But this happened inside a Custody Centre, inside a Police Building with his collea g u es inside a Police Building with his colleagues around him. I guess this makes it particularly hard to deal with it . It happened at their place of work, where they should have felt they have . Certainly. Police stations, i have walked into them thousands and thousands of times. As a Police Officer that is probably when you feel at your safest. Its yourdomain, when you feel at your safest. Its your domain, its your building, its your premises. So that will be even harderfor them to deal its your premises. So that will be even harder for them to deal with. And also it means often Police Officers deal with tragic incidents out in the community, but this will be somewhere that those Police Officers go every single day, and therefore, that will be even harder for them to deal with. And there will be lots of questions about how has it happened and why hasnt happened and all those of things. But at the moment, those Police Officers and certainly everyone who has been affected by it willjust benefit so much from that sort of compassion and support that has been so obvious over the last few hours. Ali livingstone, former Police Sergeant, thank you forjoining us here on breakfast this morning. All the best. It is 7 19am. Heres sarah with your Weather Forecast. Good morning, sarah. Good morning. A bit ofan good morning, sarah. Good morning. A bit of an autumnal shield this morning. We have had clear skies for some parts of the country overnight some parts of the country overnight so it is quite fresh out there this morning. Autumnal chill. Under those clear skies it will stay gradually through the course of the weekend and we have a northerly breeze with us, particularly strong winds across eastern parts of england with themselves around, too, but many other areas are going to be staying dry through the week ahead. Here is the slow moving area of low pressure which has been as a few days, heading towards the year. That is still dragging in that risk northerly wind and some showers, particularly for parts of east yorkshire, through lincolnshire and east anglia, too. In the day, some of those i was pushing towards kent. Further west, for england and wales and much of northern scotland and ireland, the weather is prominently dry. A few showers for scotland and Northern Ireland but they should fade away. Temperatures still on the cool side to this time of year, 12 15 degrees or so, particularly cool you are exposed to that risk northerly wind. These are average winds needs, 20 miles an hour or so around the east coast, if we took look at the wind gusts, 40 50 miles an hour. They are driving some big waves around the coastline around the east. Through the evening some of the cloud drifts a bit further west to the midlands, Northern England as well, but clear skies for much of scotland, Northern Ireland and wales as well. Temperatures down to about freezing or below, you could see a touch of frost first thing sunday morning across parts of scotland. Through the day tomorrow it is fairly similar today, we have an east west split. Cloudy and Eastern England once again, breezy but not as windy as it has been over the past few days. Further west you should give long spells of these gains unchain through the day. Still fairly breezy for parts of south eastern and Eastern England, less windy, though, elsewhere, tomorrow. Temperatures still on the cool side for this time of year, maybe 12 30 degrees in the north. We could see 17 celsius or so down towards the south west. It does look largely dry and settled. 12 13 degrees in the north. Sarah, thank you very much indeed. It is 7 20am. The liberal democrats need to listen. Thats the message from the partys newly elected leader ed davey as the partys annual conference gets underway. Yes. The four day event is being held online due to the coronavirus. One of the speakers is the lib dem spokesperson forForeign Affairs layla moran, whojoins us now. Good morning to you. Good morning. Everything will be online. What type of message are you trying to send . In the conference we are a party with a new leader who has made it clear we need to be a party of aspiration, of compassion, and also, of relevance. And today were really focusing on coronavirus, but im going to be talking in terms of Foreign Affairs about global britain, a britain that is compassionate, a briton that opens its arms to those who need us the most, and helps us protect the oppressed around the world. I will be focusing on china and on the plight of the uighur population in xinjiang, and calling on the government to launch sanctions against those state and nonstate actors who have in some way been involved in the perpetration of those atrocities. I also make the point that as consumers we have a pa rt point that as consumers we have a part to play, and all of us who might have seen tiktok, for example, or used tiktok, them to realise a company like tiktok has been accused of being involved, whether it be taking down videos that went viral, that teenager who was trying to raise the plight of the uighurs, they were also alleged to have been working with the state to crack down and monitor the uighur population, i think as consumers we need to know that and so people can make their own choices. But to recognise actually, they do not, the chinese government, share our values, and we should be cracking down on that. You lost the last election on the back of the stop brexits logan, do you think the party has learnt from its mistakes . I think we have. Ed davey has said we are continuing to listen. We have a motion on europe tomorrow that makes the case for we will always be pro european, we are an internationalist party, that is the point we will be making, it is the point we will be making, it isa is the point we will be making, it is a core part of our dna. But we need to recognise where we are now. Were not just leaving need to recognise where we are now. Were notjust leaving the eu, but potentially leaving the eu with no deal, that has been promised to no one, it is in nobody s interests. We want to make the case with the closest possible relationship. We still have time to strike that deal, that is what we are focused on now. You are the mp for oxford west and abington. How easyis for oxford west and abington. How easy is it you get a coronavirus test in your constituency . Almost impossible. I have a friend who has recently impossible. I have a friend who has rece ntly got impossible. I have a friend who has recently got one. It took her four days of refreshing the website pretty much every much half an hour. She was losing sleep at night because she didnt want to risk weighting and missing that crucial test. Waiting. She has two young boys and a young family, the entire family was self isolating. The family was self isolating. The family had missed so much school, she felt she had to stay up all hours refreshing the website. It is atrocious stop one of the points will be making the conference days to hold government particularly over test, trace isolate. We were told at the beginning of this crisis this was the key to unlocking coronavirus. We now finally harvey app, and coronavirus. We now finally harvey app, and i would encourage people to download it, i have finally have the app. Unless we can crack test, trace, isolate, then we will continue to find people staying out of work and people not going to school. And what would sorry to interrupt you. What with the lib dems have done differently . Well, the first thing we would have done very differently is we would have listened to not just very differently is we would have listened to notjust the scientists in the room that were there at the time, but allow them to listen to the wider spectrum of scientists. The chair of the wider spectrum of scientists. The chairofan the wider spectrum of scientists. The chair of an all party group that works with sage. We need clear strategy, we need clear messaging. Those of the things that have not come from this government. If you ask ordinary people out there, and i speak to many who are e mailing me, over zoom and in my surgeries, they say they are confused by all the different changes and they still dont understand where borisjohnson wa nts to dont understand where borisjohnson wants to get you with this. The all party group on coronavirus was pushing right from the very beginning to have a zero covid 19 strategy. That means you dont end up strategy. That means you dont end up eliminating the virus, that is probably here to stay for now, but you have a strategy where you are bearing down as much as possible. And the changes we saw with the 10pm cu rfew and the changes we saw with the 10pm curfew that in the end, when we tried to examine what is the evidence for this, we can find it. There was no scientist but was able to point to saying, this bit of evidence, a 10pm very 10 pm curfew on pubs will work. This government is not going fast enough or Strong Enough right now and we are at the beginning of a second wave. Layla moran, thank you very much indeed. We must leave it there. It is 7 27am. Online betting brings in more than £2 billion a year, and as the new premier League Season gets underway, almost half of all teams have Gambling Companies advertising somewhere on their kit. Now a group of recovering gambling addicts are calling for change and are walking more than 130 miles to make their case. Matt graveling reports. I lost every single penny i had in the world in 20 minutes. The most david eades in a day, looking back, was over 600 bats in a day. David eades in a day, looking back, was over 600 bats in a daylj david eades in a day, looking back, was over 600 bats in a day. I spent £16,000 ina was over 600 bats in a day. I spent £16,000 in a single day. Just. Got too much. Between them, they gambled away more than £1 million. |j too much. Between them, they gambled away more than £1 million. Ijust need a minute. They say, losing control after becoming addicted to mobile gambling, specifically footballs in play betting, at his lowest, rain considered taking his life stop i took out a loan when i was gambling. Money is money, but emotionally, inside, itjust dares you to pieces. As the new football season kicks off, ryan, james and steve are supporting a new team, one ona steve are supporting a new team, one on a long road to recovery, made up of former addict plus friends and loved ones. Charity project the big step is taking on a lot of steps, taking over and humility of five marathons. They are walking over 130 miles to gain signatures on an online petition to ban advertising for gambling around sport. The most prevalent, the sponsorship on match day shirts. Of the 20 teams in the premier league, half promote a Gambling Company on their kit, a number which has doubled within ten seasons. We dont want to stop anyone having a bet, its about preventing kids being exposed to gambling, sponsorship and advertising in football. Even people who like a bad we know they are fed up. Like a bet. Who like a bad we know they are fed up. Like a bet. It isjust saturation. Younger guys are gambling much more. These products have psychological hooks in their design. So if you place may be an in playback and win, that bet triggers something which means you have to do it again if you place an in game bet. A house of Lords Select Committee recommended premier league clu bs Committee Recommended premier league clubs should no longer allow betting firms on their shirts. This will be considered by the government in coming weeks. In response, the premier league said we do not have a central gambling related partner. It is up to clubs to decide who they enter into sponsorship agreements with. When it comes to betting companies, all of our clubs have a lwa ys companies, all of our clubs have always fully complied with all regulatory requirements and will continue to do so. Its a dangerous when you consider how much children do take in, with regards to their surroundings. Surely this isjust going to breed more addicts. After admitting to stealing from work to feed his addiction, steve served ten months in prison. In this day and age it seems like gambling is ok, its normal. But the onus is put on the person to be responsible. But. The products are really dangerous. It doesnt affect the one person. You know . It affected everybody close to me. The Gambling Commission said gambling advertising is subject to strict content, appeal and targeting rules designed to ensure that marketing for gambling products are socially responsible, with particular regard to the need to protect children and young people. We believe the current debate regarding handling sponsorship in football is timely in light of the upcoming gambling act review. Football light of the upcoming gambling act review. Football doesnt have light of the upcoming gambling act review. Football doesnt have to be the problem. It can be the solution. And if i was in a room of 20 clubs andi and if i was in a room of 20 clubs and i said you need to stop your addiction to gambling, and protect the next generation, not go through the next generation, not go through the same thing we did. Matt graveling reporting. And you can find help and support on the bbcs action line website. Coming up on breakfast, before eight oclock will meet the first female driver since 2007 to compete in the british touring car championship. Are we going to be able to keep up with her . Had lines coming up. Hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. More than a Million People have downloaded the governments Contact Tracing app for england and wales within its first day of release but how does it work and how effective is it . Dr sarah jarvis joins us now. Good morning. Thanks for getting up bright and early on a saturday morning. I know you are probably pretty busy anyway, arent you . Can we talk about students to start with . We are hearing this morning about halls and residents in lockdown in different parts of the country. A large number of young people have gone away to university in the last week or two and suddenly find themselves affect the blue locked in their rooms or in their flats. What is the impact on them, not just their flats. What is the impact on them, notjust their physical health but also their Mental Health, which has to bea also their Mental Health, which has to be a consideration also . Im afraid it does, and i have to say, i feel really, really sorry for the stu d e nts feel really, really sorry for the students heading off to university, they have missed six months of seminal teaching face to face. Obviously they had some remotely. Then they had the bungled a level results. Then they didnt know if they were going to get into university, hopefully they did once the government said it would accept those updated grades. Now they have gone to university to be told they can only socialise with people on the corridor, so, the people who share one kitchen or perhaps in their house. So i think a lot of the atmosphere of the university has gone and i think people are going to be very, very nervous. Young people have real problems when they go to university anyway. There are lots of Mental Health problems among young people. They are away from home for the first time. They are doing Self Directed learning, it is nothing like as structured as it was at school. There are all sorts of things are supposed to be doing, thinking about their futures, trying to navigate their way around adult life. It is a challenging time. Add this into the mix and i really do have concerns. Students Mental Health has been a big issue after the past few years. It is something we talk about a lot here on brea kfast. We talk about a lot here on breakfast. Universities have the medical infrastructure, enough gps and counsellors to try to help stu d e nts and counsellors to try to help students through the sort of time, not that anybody predicted a time like this . Well, they certainly try. I have spoken with a lot of universities and they really, really do push the student well being, counselling, that sort of agenda. Of course, these kinds of young people dont tend to consult nearly as often for physical problems, so the gps tend to be relatively quiet in terms of long term conditions, diabetes, heart attack and so on. But they are looking after a lot of Mental Health problems. In the past of course they were also dealing with a lot of sexually transmitted infections, but these days, students, well, they might not be seeing as much of each other. This appi seeing as much of each other. This app i mentioned, the new app for england and wales, people are getting in touch with us all the time, some have concerns about battery drainage on their phones and whether there is any point to it. What are you noticing on the frontline a gp . Well, i was very concerned about the original app, and you are quite right, people were concerned about privacy and they we re concerned about privacy and they were concerned about battery drainage. Interestingly, iam really reassured. My patients, on the whole, when i talk to them about it they have said, is it going to steal my data . The answer is no, absolutely not. And when i have spoken to them about it they have been really reassured. In fact, Public Health england asked me to work with them on it because i was so much in favour, having been so against the previous one. The reason ididnt like against the previous one. The reason i didnt like the previous one is because i was concerned about peoples data, that it would put peoples data, that it would put people off. Now, they have learned a lot from the previous app. It is decentralised. You give no information except the first half of your postcode, so they can tell you what the risk is in your area. They work with both google and iphone, it is compatible with both. If you ever use google search, if you have ever picked up and iphone and you havent been concerned about your privacy you dont need to be concerned about your privacy here. It is low energy bluetooth, so it doesnt use gps, doesnt drain your battery is much, there arent any compatibility problems. It also works if your phone is locked as long as the bluetooth is on. The only real issue that i have identified as the operating system, so come on and iphone you need an ios of 13. 5 or higher, which means that phones which are a couple of years old my struggle to download this successfully, with android, that isnt a problem. Doctor sarah jarvis, thank you forjoining us on brea kfast. Jarvis, thank you forjoining us on breakfast. Time to go to mike now, were talking about the last few days, the terrible situation some sports clubs are in at the moment because the crowds are not going back . Yes, and if you do the sums, just about, take the weekly wage of the Top Premier League owners, that would cover a lower league club plasma costs for the whole season of through without fans. It puts it in some kind of context, the vast golf stop. Football league clubs worried about their survival during the coming season, without any fans, will draw some comfort and hope from the words of chelsea manager Frank Lampard. Hes confident the top clubs will come together to help out. The English Football League has warned it faces a £200 million collective loss due to the pandemic if spectators cannot return this season, and the chelsea manager understands the responsibility of those elite clubs at the top. I dont think theres anybody in any form of the game, the premier league, at the top of the pyramid, or Grassroots Football, that doesnt want to see this game continue and for clubs to not go under and for people to not lose theirjobs. So i think therell be some positive action, positive thoughts, and the people who are at the top of the game to make those plans, i would certainly support ideas to try and help any form of Grassroots Football or sport get the help it needs to stay alive during this tough time. And we all will try and come together, i suppose. The club is also talking to the government about Financial Health as well. If youve ever hopped on a bike thats not yours youll know it can be a rough ride usually in my case, the saddle is too high. Well, spare a thought then for britains Geraint Thomas. After his bike went missing before his race in the mens time trial at cyclings road World Championships in imurla, he had to ride a spare given to him just minutes before he set off, and said he was riding blind. He was pretty happy in the end, with fourth place, with italys Filippo Ganna taking gold. The womens road race starts at 12 35pm and its live on the red button, iplayer and the bbc sport website. Lewis hamilton can equal the record for grand prix wins this weekend. It stands at 91, held by michael schumacher. Hell be fighting for pole position in russia later, but his Mercedes Teammate Valtteri Bottas was more than a quarter of a second faster during practice in sochi. Qualifying gets underway at 1 00pm. Now, he may have retired from test cricket over two years ago as englands all time leading run scorer, but alastair cooks appetite is as strong as ever. He scored 172 for essex against somerset on day three of the final of the bob willis trophy at lords. This is being played in place of the usual county championship because of the pandemic. Essex lost late wickets so theyll resume their first innings on 271 6 in reply to somersets 301, and these scores are important, because if the match finishes in a draw, the highest first innings scorers will be champions. Warrington won their ninth game in a row, to go top of the super league. They beat catalan dragons 30 16. Dragons onlyjust made it to the ground on time though after their plane was diverted. Warrington ran in five tries, including this late one from danny walker which wrapped up the victory. Wigan are up to second after beating wakefield trinity. Bristol are through to their first European Rugby Union final. They needed extra time, but they beat bordeaux 37 20 in the challenge cup semis, max mailins scoring two tries. Bristols previous best in europe came 20 years ago, when they reached the semifinals of the same competition. Theyll face either toulon or leicester for the trophy in three weeks time. If you havent yet heard about british athlete elliot giles, its quite a story. Hes been building his form over the last few years and now has managed second in the 800m at the Diamond League in dubai. We have to remind ourselves that back in 2014, a terrible car crash left him with temporary brain damage and a knee so badly injured that he first had to learn to walk again. British driverjade edwards, will be the first woman to race in the touring car championship for over a decade at silverstone today. The 29 year old from ascot will get behind the wheel of the vauxhall astra, making her the first female to feature at the event since 2007. I went to meet her this week in training at donnington. For over a decade now, it has been all quiet when it comes to female drivers in the british touring car championship. But this weekend, one woman is out to shatter the silence. Here we are, after years of trying to get the right finances behind her, jade has finally got the chance to live her dream and make history. Yeah, really proud moment for me. It is an honour to break that a dry speu is an honour to break that a dry spell of females competing at this level, but for me as a racing driver it isa level, but for me as a racing driver it is a real personal achievement as well. This is what i have dreamt of doing since i was a child. It is got some of the best drivers in it. Got to get my elbows out and be strong on track. Well, what makes british touring car racing arguably more exciting and accessible than other motorsports is that the fearless drivers are basically an modified versions of the cars that many of us do the morning commute in, or go for a sunday pootle around in. But this is where the comparison ends. They are ca rs is where the comparison ends. They are cars that you see on the road. They are cars that you drive off in ona they are cars that you drive off in on a monday morning. With formula 1 you Never Get Close to them, you never see them, you never sitting down. Just watch them on tv. It is all very different on the inside here, but the outside is a vauxhall astra, and how many people drive those on a monday morning to work and see other manufactures and models in the race they watched on sunday . But if the sport is so accessible, why has it been so long since a female driver last competed ina since a female driver last competed in a championship race . It has taken jade in 19 years to reach the top, after she first fell in love with the sport aged ten. My career has been somewhat tricky because motorsport is financially backed, so you have to have the money to go racing. But ive always had to rely on sponsorships. The issue we had at lower levels as the stereotype, you know . When were young girls or young boys it is action man or barbie, but lets mix it up a little bit and that females can race cars. If we can shut down that stereotype initially, or make a huge difference 20 or 30 years down the line. You know, physically there is no reason why not, it is just less of us to start with. Our team, btc racing, we have a female team manager, my Data Engineer is female, and they are all there because of their ability. As soon as you are on track, there because of their ability. As soon as you are on track, as soon as the lights go out, the name on the window is irrelevant and who is in the car is irrelevant. Due to covid rules you are not allowed out on circuit with me today which is such a shame. However, i have seen how David Coulthard reacted to your driving so maybe i dodged a slight bullet today already. Yeah, yeah, it was touch and go but he is still speaking to me, david. As forjade, she is now talking loud and clear to a whole new generation. So theres more females coming into it, and hopefully by seeing me race this weekend, a lot of young girls might look up and go, i fancy a weekend, a lot of young girls might look up and go, ifancy a bit weekend, a lot of young girls might look up and go, i fancy a bit about, and work hard and get to btc as well. Good luck to jade and all the drivers. And the race itself is tomorrow at silverstone. You will hear she has replaced mike bushell. Understand it is not. There is another one . I have never met him, a lwa ys another one . I have never met him, always wanted to. So, good morning, mike, get well soon. |j always wanted to. So, good morning, mike, get well soon. Iwanted always wanted to. So, good morning, mike, get well soon. I wanted to see you race around the track. |j mike, get well soon. I wanted to see you race around the track. I dont think we can get the insurance. There are a lot of safety protocols with covid and so on. It isjust past 7 45am. Heres sarah with a look at the weekend weather. If you are heading outside. Beautiful in a lot of places . It is a sunny start the day. This is the picture in bude. A lot of clear sky now the sun has risen. There will be showers in the forecast today, but many faces was here a good deal of dry weather through today and tomorrow as well. The entity cans weather things are staying gradually and there will be strong winds around in the ease, particularly for some eastern counties of england where you are set to see some blustery winds and some showers as well, ill down to this area of low pressure which is quite slow moving, sitting out towards the ease, lots of isobars on the map and they are heading all the way back towards the arctic. We have some cold air coming in from the north, particularly windy around these eastern counties of england where we are going to be seen of england where we are going to be seen the showery rain. Further west across the uk one or two showers for scotla nd across the uk one or two showers for scotland and Northern Ireland but they are using away. A lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine around. The cloud spilling further into central and western parts as we head on into the afternoon. Temperatures between 12 15 degrees, a little below par for this between 12 15 degrees, a little below parfor this time between 12 15 degrees, a little below par for this time of year. And when you add on the strength of the wind, it will feel a little bit cooler. Average wind speeds between 1020 cooler. Average wind speeds between 10 20 miles an hour but these gusts of wind we are likely to see done is coast of england, 40 50 miles an hour, driving and big waves around the coastlines as well. Charlie rain pushing out of east anglia through kent into the evening hours. Showery rain. The cloud will linger in the east. That. Temperatures falling to far, but clear skies for scotla nd falling to far, but clear skies for scotland and Northern Ireland, we are likely to see a touch of frost. Temperatures getting down to below that in the countryside. Chilly on sunday and similar to today, an east west split. We have allowed for Eastern England and scotland, perhaps one or two showers towards the far south east. Still breezy in the far south east. Still breezy in the ease but not quite as windy as the ease but not quite as windy as the last couple of days, less windy with more sunshine further west across the uk, so again, a pretty decent looking day for most of us on sunday. Temperatures between 12 15 degrees across the north half of the uk, we could see highs of up to 17 tomorrow down towards the south west. Back to you. Thank you very much indeed. Now on breakfast, its time for newswatch. Hello and welcome to newswatch, with me, samira ahmed. Coming up with less than six weeks to go until the us president ial election, how to cover a Campaign Like no other. Ill be asking north america editorjon sopel about the challenges of his job in a volatile political atmostphere. Next tuesday sees the first of three debates between the two main candidates in novembers us president ial election. The covid 19 pandemic means President Trump and joe biden havent so far been as visible, out on the campaign trail, as normal in an Election Year but on thursday the president was in florida addressing a rally injacksonville. Amid the growing alarm of members of both parties, and despite reassurances from the white house to the country, donald trump doubled down on his refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power, should he lose the upcoming president ial election. We want to make sure the election is honest, and im not sure that it can be, i dont know that it can be with this whole situation, unsolicited ballots, they are unsolicited, millions being sent to everybody. The president s repeated claim over the supposed unreliability of postal votes and the suggestion that the ballot result might not be accepted, are at the heart of a particularly acrimonious campaign. With strongly held and entrenched views on both sides of the political divide, british journalists commitment to impartiality has been under more scrutiny than ever. And on that count, some newswatch viewers feel the bbc has been lacking. Heresjohn paterson but a twitter user with the name 1001 instruments had this to say well, the bbcs north america editorjon sopel has to navigate those demands for impartiality, and to explain this election to a uk audience. Hes been in thejob since 2014, and joins me now from washington, dc. Jon, thank you for coming on newswatch. Great pleasure. The coronavirus pandemic has clearly changed so much. Has it made it easier or harder to cover this election . Well, i think that what i would have been doing in normal circumstances is that i would have been hurtling around the country, going from rally to rally, campaign bus to campaign bus, ghastly Regional Airport to ghastly Regional Airport, trying to keep up with the campaigns and what they were doing. And that is obviously impossible. Partly becausejoe biden isnt doing that campaigning, donald trump is doing that campaigning, but there is no social distancing within his venues, very few people wearing masks, and so a lot of the journalists are staying outside. So that is the downside of it. The upside is that i am actually seeing far more of donald trump, because he is also holding regular briefings at the white house, than you would ever do in normal circumstances, and we have good contacts with democrats too, so we are able to speak to an awful lot of people, and were not spending the same amount of time expending shoe leather trying to get from place to place. So it is very different election, hopefully we are still doing it as effectively. Donald trumps critics say that he gets disproportionate news Media Coverage by outrageous things, and some viewers feel the bbcs journalists make that mistake too. Whats your response . I think its a reasonable point and it is a really interesting area of debate. We are not governed by the representation of the peoples act like you are when covering an election in the uk, where you are trying to give equal time to all candidates. Also, joe biden is desperate to make this election about trump vs trump, he wants it to be a referendum on donald trump, and if he thinks that donald trump is doing things that are counter productive, he is happy to leave the stage to donald trump. Joe biden is very deliberately keeping a very low profile, it would be almost impossible to give equal time tojoe biden and donald trump Whenjoe Biden is doing so little. There is this thing called the pool we have got pool reporters covering biden, covering trump from all the news organisations, mainly in the us. Joe biden called a lid, ie there will be no further activity, at 10am the other day. There is no further activity to report on. Whereas donald trump is fiercely energetic, loves the rallies and love giving News Conferences, loves speaking in front of the helicopter. He loves opening his mouth. And so inevitably you will get more donald trump. There are other viewers who feel that you are too negative and sneering about donald trump. Yeah, i dont buy that. I think that we are there to hold, speak truth to power, to hold people to account. So as i say, when i see things that are stated that are not true so for example i was in the White House Briefing when donald trump talked about, you could inject yourself with bleach as a means of treating coronavirus, and the following morning you have the main manufacturers of bleach issuing, having to issue a statement saying whatever you do, dont do that now you cover that, you have to cover that with an arched eyebrow, this is an exceptional president , an exceptional presidency and i dont think you sneer, i dont think we ever sneer, but i think we hold, say, this is pretty extraordinary, isnt it . And i think that is justified. There is that Famous Exchange in a News Conference with donald trump not long after he became president , when it seemed pretty obvious that he wasnt a huge fan of the bbc, i think you talked about it as a thing of beauty, or a fan of you. Has that given you problems . Do you know what, we have fantastic access. I am regularly in the very small briefings of only a dozen people in the white house, we get far more access than any other foreign broadcaster, the president regularly takes my questions, often says thats a brilliant question, i dont know whether thats helpful or hindering my career, frankly sometimes he doesnt like the questions. Donald trump has hisjob to do and i have myjob to do, i am determined that we are not going to get into bunkers and silos where, i think, some of the cable channels in the us have either become so slavishly for donald trump, or so vehemently against donald trump that they have lost all sight of whatever the story is. I think the bbc is in a unique position where we are fair, and we are impartial, and we give the president a fair crack, we hold him to account, sometimes he likes our questions, sometimes he doesnt but i think we get amazing access. Looking ahead, if the election result is disputed, do you think the stability of american democracy is, as some commentators claim, genuinely at stake in this election . Look, it will be a tense period and it may be that 3 november is just the first act in the president ial election, and the second act starts on november 4 with legal battles and maybe street protests. One just cannot envisage quite how this unfolds, it is going to be very uncertain. I had hoped to get a holiday at the end of november with my family, that is looking incredibly unlikely. Jon sopel, thank you so much. This was the week of the labour party conference, though you might be forgiven for not noticing that, as the normal gathering of politicians, journalists and lobbyists took place not in liverpool, as planned, but online. That blunted the impact of tuesdays speech by the partys leader keir starmer, as did the fact that it took place on the same day as a major parliamentary statement by the Prime Minister on new measures for tackling coronavirus. From thursday, all pubs, bars and restaurants must operate a Table Service only, mr speaker, except for takeaways. Together with all hospitality venues, they must close at10pm. No surprise that that statement led the 1 00 news, but Malcolm Green felt the balance of airtime in the bulletin was misjudged. That night the Prime Ministers address to the nation was watched by around 10 Million Viewers on bbc1 and it was followed, 24 hours later, by a response from the leader of the opposition, shown on the same channel. While these restrictions are now necessary, they were not inevitable. The return of this virus, and the return of restrictions, are not an act of god. They are a failure of government. The british people have done everything asked of them, but i am afraid the government has not. But that, in turn, led peter scoffham to ask well, we put that point to bbc news, and they told us thanks for all your comments this week. If you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, including its social media and online output, e mail or you can find us on twitter you can call us and do have a look at our website thats all from us. Well be back to hear your thoughts about bbc News Coverage again next week. Goodbye. Good morning welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent.

We do care and we can help thats the message from chelsea manager Frank Lampard, who believes the countrys top clubs, will come to the rescue, with a plan, to make sure smaller clubs dont go under, in this pandemic. Good morning. A fairly chilly start to the weekend, some strong winds around for the east of england in particular but elsewhere it is looking mostly dry and find. I will have all the details throughout this mornings programme. Its saturday, the 26th of september. Our top story tributes are being paid this morning to Long Serving Police officer, matt ratna who has been named as the man shot dead in a south london Custody Centre. An investigation is under way after the new zealand born sergeant was shot in the chest, as a suspect who was still in handcuffs was being checked in. Jon donnison has this report. Sergeant matt ratana, almost 30 years in the metropolitan police, was on the verge of retirement. Now, the first british officer to be shot and killed in duty since 2012. He leaves behind a partner and a grown up son from a previous relationship. Welcome to east grinsted Rugby Football Club originally from new zealand, outside of work he was a first class rugby player, and the coach of the east grinsted club in sussex. I dont know anyone that dislikes the bloke. You know, he was just yeah, he was a great bloke. And pretty sure he was a great sergeant, he was great at what he done. He had a positive impact on anyone that he ever, anyone who ever got to meet matt, and hell be. Yeah. At the moment, still numb, it still hasnt really sunk in. But its, yeah, he will be missed. And the commissioner of the metropolitan police said sergeant rata nas service would never be forgotten. His colleagues knew him as a big guy. Big in stature, big in heart. Friendly, capable, a lovely man, highly respected by his colleagues officers, staff, and of course by members of the public. The independent office for Police Conduct are now working to establish exactly how Sergeant Ratana came to be shot dead inside the Police Custody centre in croydon in south london. The suspect is in a Critical Condition in hospital, having thought to have turned the gun on himself. He had originally been arrested on suspicion of possessing class b drugs and ammunition in the early hours of friday morning. For sergeant rata nas colleagues, and for Police Officers across the country, its a reminder of the risks they take each dayjust turning up for work. Jon donnison, bbc news. Katharine carpenter is in croydon for us this morning. Katharine, tributes have been in. Absolutely, more colleagues of sergeant ratna have been arriving, alongside metres and metres of floral tributes that have been growing over night, alongside candles, a Police Helmet that also a by candles, a Police Helmet that also a rugby ball. The Police Helmet because he was so important as part of the police and family, he had been a Police Officer for nearly 30 yea rs, been a Police Officer for nearly 30 years, a couple of months away from retirement. The rugby ball because that was one of his passions, England Rugby amongst those who have paid tribute to him. Also his own club, East Grinstead, where he was a coach, described him as a lovely bloke who treated all players equally. Rugby was something he started in his native new zealand and the Prime Minister of that country Jacinda Ardern has and the Prime Minister of that countryJacinda Ardern has been and the Prime Minister of that country Jacinda Ardern has been one of those paying tribute to him. She said we share your sorrow. The commission of the metropolitan police, the mayor of london said khan, the Prime Minister boris johnson, his loss is being felt most keenly locally. His officers here have taken to social media, calling him a genuinely lovely bloke, someone him a genuinely lovely bloke, someone that they really respected, and also Community Leaders have been paying tribute to him, talking of the really important work he has donein the really important work he has done in the local community, as a neighbourhood officer. Back to you. Thank you very much indeed. We will bejoined by one thank you very much indeed. We will be joined by one of sergeant ratnas old mates here on breakfast a little bit later. More than a quarter of the uk population is set to be under lockdown rules as new restrictions come into force this weekend. From today in england, households in leeds, wigan, stockport and blackpool will be banned from mixing in each others homes or gardens. It comes as hundreds of University Students in manchester have been told not to leave their halls of residence. Richard galpin reports. Manchester metropolitan University One of the growing list of universities across the country where students have had to go into lockdown in their accommodation blocks. This the result of a significant spike in coronavirus cases. 1,700 students here having to self isolate for two weeks, the aim to suppress the outbreak. It is a bleak start to the new Academic Year. Weve just been told we have to stay in our flats for two weeks. Bearing in mind, like, a lot of us have already been isolating for the past two weeks or ten days because a lot of us have had coronavirus or been in contact with somebody with it. Weve not been given any indication of how were going to get the supplies we need, like shopping, and we have no access to washing machines to wash our clothes. The situations also increasingly bleak here in south wales. The town of llanelli is today being added to the areas that have already been sealed off no one able to enter or leave without a specific excuse. Cardiff and swansea also due to join the list on sunday. All this bringing almost half the population of wales under lockdown. Meanwhile, from today, people in leeds as well as stockport, wigan and blackpool are banned from gathering in a private dwelling or garden with any other household unless in a support bubble. I dont think people take notice, personally. I think people are just going to do what they want, really. You cant police it, its impossible. I imagine if its got to be done, the measures have got to be done, so. Safety first, so, whatever it takes. If we have to do it we have to do it. Yeah, i am worried, because my grandmas by herself so, like, i do worry about her. But everybodys got to do their part, really. The latest official figures clearly show infection rates are increasing across the country, with 6,874 new cases and 34 new deaths. And now london has been put on a watchlist as cases increase. The mayor, sadiq khan, calling on the government to increase the availability of tests, and asking londoners to act with caution and follow Public Health guidelines. Richard galpin, bbc news. Our Political Correspondent jessica parkerjoins us now from our london newsroom. Jessica, how extensive are these new lockdown measures . Weve caught local towns or in some cases what you might call regional restrictions at weve got local lockdown is across vast swathes of the country, and as richard was just reporting, london on the watch list, that does not definitely mean further restrictions will follow for london but it doesnt mean it has being closely monitored, there will being closely monitored, there will be ramped up testing in areas of particular concern. The hope is various mitigating measures will help combat the virus, whether thats the new test and trace app, Community Testing, although in recent weeks weve heard lots of frustration from people who have struggled to pick tests. Another concern going into autumn and winter, respiratory viruses tend to thrive in colder months. We are not just talking about local restrictions weve seen the introduction of National Measures, whether the rule of six, whether the 10pm curfew in pubs, bars and restau ra nts. 10pm curfew in pubs, bars and restaurants. It raises questions, or aware that this will cause further confusion about what the rules are for people in certain areas and also the question of compliance, but borisjohnson was pretty clear this week that if people dont follow the rules and rates continue to go up the government does not rule out bringing in further restrictions nationwide. Jessica, thank you. Marcus rashford is continuing his battle to fight child food poverty after the education secretary responded to his calls for change. All this year on breakfast weve followed his Momentous Campaign as he secured £120 million of government funding to support children in england for Free School Meals over the summer holidays. Now, weve seen a letter to the Manchester United footballer from Gavin Williamson. It said the government was committed to supporting those in need but has stopped short of fully backing his Child Food Poverty Task force. Marcus rashfords mission to tackle childhood poverty is a personal one, following his own experiences relying on Free School Meals and food banks growing up. My mum, she done the best she could. I remember we used to go to a shop called pound world, and everything was under £1. You know, we would sort of schedule out the week. So, we would get seven yoghurts, and you can have one yoghurt a day, and so on. So, she done the best she could within the circumstances. But theres some families out there, like me, that have four or five kids, so its literally impossible to take control of the situation. After forcing a government u turn on Free School Meals for more than one million children in england, the Manchester United star is calling for this temporary solution to be replaced by a more permanent fixture. He has established a Child Food Poverty Task force with some of the countrys biggest food brands. Together, they are campaigning for the expansion of Free School Meals to every household on universal credit. Expanding existing School Holiday food and activities programmes to support all children on free meals. An increase in the value of these so called healthy start voucher from £3. 10 to £4. 25 per week. The education secretary, Gavin Williamson, has now replied, pointing to a range of existing schemes. In a letter obtained by bbc breakfast, he highlighted support, including food parcels, Voucher Schemes and a summerfood fund. But he stopped short of backing Marcus Rashfords campaign, instead saying, i recognise that you and the Child Food Poverty Task force are supporting three of the recommendations in the National Food strategy relating to food for lower income families. The government will carefully consider each of the recommendations in the report as we approach the next spending review. In response to the letter, Marcus Rashford said. All eyes will now be on the governments next move ahead of what campaigners fear could be a further rise in hungerfor some of our most Vulnerable Children in the weeks and months ahead. Interesting Marcus Rashford has been spending his time away from football talking to children and families in finding out what they really need. And not necessarily talking to the politicians, they are coming to him its almost a quarter past eight on saturday morning. Thank you for joining us, lets get the situation in Higher Education as far as covid is concerned. Just days after arriving at university, 1700 students in manchester have been forced to self isolate with immediate effect. Imagine if you had just arrived and that happened to you or imagine if you are a parent sending your child off. The citys council says 127 people at Manchester Metropolitan University have tested positive for the coronavirus. Luxmy gopal is there for us this morning. Luxmy, how significant is this outbreak . John, it is quite significant purely with the number of students it affects. First of all, for most students, the start of this Academic Year and the whole University Experience is not what they had in mind when they applied caught much of their face to face teaching is online, freshers week is a socially distanced ant for 1700 students at the university of manchester metropolitan, they are starting the new Academic Year in self isolation because there has been at local lockdown, a very localised at 22 University Halls of residence, to two stu d e nt University Halls of residence, to two Student Accommodation blocks. This one here to two University Halls of residence. After an outbreak of more than 100 coronavirus cases. Students have said theyve been told not to leave their halls of residence unless its an emergency. Now the university and couege an emergency. Now the university and College Union say it is a real shame, it was wholly predictable and it is not fair on the students and the local community. Manchesters Public Health director said a key pa rt Public Health director said a key part of their local cologne or virus prevention plan is to act collectively and decisively coronavirus prevention plan. This has also happened at Glasgow University as well. As more students travel across the country to go to their halls of residences and campuses next week for the start of their courses it is likely we may see more of this happening. Some stu d e nts see more of this happening. Some students have not even got to university yet, all eyes on that over the next couple of weeks. Thanks very much for that for now. Many of the students who are locked down will have onlyjust met the people theyre now in isolation with. Lets hear from some of them. Weve just been told we have to stay in our flats for two weeks. Bearing in mind, like, a lot of us have already been isolating for the past two weeks or ten days because a lot of us have had coronavirus or been in contact with somebody with it. Theyve not given us any advice on, like, how to do washing, how to get food. So, its a bit stressful. I think its a bit late, really, too because coronavirus has already spread through the building. We have already had it in the building. It probably couldnt get much worse. We have all had it, we have all isolated, we have all actually stuck to their rules as well, but now weve been told that weve got to have another two weeks. We have been isolating for the past ten days because of the coronavirus positive test in our flat. We have now been told today, without any warning, that we will now have two isolate for another 14 days, along with the whole of our building and a few other buildings. We have not been given any indication how we are going to get the supplies we need, like shopping, and we have no access to washing machines to wash our clothes. I should point out though students found all of that themselves because of course we cannot coincide because of course we cannot coincide because of the outbreak. Those students filmed all that themselves. We can speak now to councillor bev craig, who is the executive member for Adults Health and wellbeing at Manchester City council. Really distressing healing from those students, how serious is this outbreak at this point . Hearing from those students. My heart does go out to the students having to self isolate, it is really difficult. I appreciate entirely it is an exceptionally difficult year for people going to university for the first time in particular on making sure they get support is our top priority for the universities, the city council and nhs services. I would say is weve taken quick and swift action. This decision was made late yesterday afternoon, it is very much a live and moving situation. This is just 22 blocks of accommodation. We are trying to contain. Two blocks. The students said they all had it anyway, there are over 1500 students in the blocks and we had over 100 positive cases. We encourage anyone with symptoms to continue getting tested but the decision has been taken very much to try to minimise both the spread of those that are not self isolating at the moment, but also how that could spread into the local community. Weve been taking this approach across the city since july, weve been taking this approach across the city sincejuly, notjust at the university. You say this is a live situation and measures are put in place, how are these students getting food . The university, had already set out a plan as of the meeting i was at yesterday, that the university would deliver and provide food to all impact on students. Their mate beat the availability of some delivered its not over and above there may be the availability of some delivery slots. Weve stood up gp services for those with existing medical conditions and weve made sure it will be publicised, additional capacity for Mental Health services 24 7. Interesting point about you publicising these extra services because we are hearing from the stu d e nts because we are hearing from the students is that they dont know how to get help. Absolutely, and i think thatis to get help. Absolutely, and i think that is something that over the course of the morning will be made much more explicitly clear to them. The notifications began to drop the stu d e nts the notifications began to drop the students between 5 30pm and six oclock last night. Not all students we re oclock last night. Not all students were able to be individually contacted and weve had assurances they will be today with the aim of everybody being absolutely clear as to the additional and significant support going into supporting them over the next 14 days. Thank you very much indeed. Local restrictions have now been extended to more towns and cities in north west england, West Yorkshire and wales in an attempt to tackle the spread of the virus. A ban on householding mixing came into force in leeds at midnight. Lets hear what people there think of the restrictions. I dont think people will take notice, personally. I think people are just going to do what they want, really. You cant police it, its impossible. Theres not enough manpower to police that, so i think its just going to be exactly the same people are going to do what they want. Its just the way it is, isnt it . I think we have just got to deal with it. Do as they say, and hopefully, the sooner we do it the sooner that it will all be over. We dont really know how its going to affect us. I mean, obviously, we are not allowed to interact with other houses, are we . So i dont know how that will work because were in a relationship and we live in different homes, so i dont know. I know a lot of people. I dont think its going to stop anything, i think its going to make it worse. People who think better than me, they think it has to be done otherwise something is going to happen. I know other people suggest other things, theres so many conflicting things. I dont know whether to say, 0h, we dont need to, like, its stupid to have all these measures. And then other people say that we definitely do. Theres so many conflicting, i dont know whats right. Just one of the people telling us they dont quite understand what the current rules are. We can speak now to judith blake, the leader of leeds city council. Lets be really clear, if you live ina lets be really clear, if you live in a leeds what are the rules, very simply . We became an area of intervention this week and the government asked us to bring in household restrictions, now households can mix, you have to stick with your own household, and in yourgarden, by stick with your own household, and in your garden, by law. There are a few exceptions, the bubble arrangements still exist but also the advice is used it within your own household when you go out into social areas, pubs, bars, restau ra nts a nd social areas, pubs, bars, restaurants and all of those sort of venues. Do you think these new restrictions will be enough . Talking to other areas that have been an intervention longer than us, we know the restrictions themselves wont just work on their own, it has to come as part of a raft of measures. I think the Important Message we know from other areas is that there isa know from other areas is that there is a lot of confusion, a lack of clarity, particularly in areas where there are different rules in one borough and next door borough has another set. But this has to be a wake up call to people. These restrictions are been brought in, along with the rule of six, still sticking with the social distancing, face coverings. I am afraid, if things carry on the way they are, i cant see how the government wont be forced to take more measures that have more of an impact on our ability to go out and do the things we need to do, to keep the economy going and also we do have real concerns as well about everyones state of well being, their Mental Health, going into winter is a very different scenario. We have to work with government to get them to get the message and cleared up, get eve ryo ne the message and cleared up, get everyone to understand and to work with us. To really recognise this is incredibly serious and we all have our role to play in helping to make, in helping to contain the virus. Weve been talking about the student situation in manchester and elsewhere, leeds is a big, vibrant student city, what are your concerns particularly as the student population increases, that is an extra problem that you face, isnt it . It is a problem. We are also synced to government we need more local testing capacity. We are also saying to government. If they give us the resources to do things locally, we can do a much betterjob than having a National Programme run from outside of the city. Leeds has five universities caught many stu d e nts five universities caught many students are back already, we are doing a huge amount of work with the student bodies themselves to communicate but this is difficult. Stu d e nts communicate but this is difficult. Students arriving in leeds for the first time, they dont know people here, so they are obviously going to wa nt to here, so they are obviously going to want to mix and socialise. But i think the situation in manchester over night and from scotland will help focus some minds and really helped us to get the message out, what has to be done to make sure we contain the virus. Judith gleick, leader of leeds city council, thank you very much forjoining us. Judith gleick. I have to confess, today it was a big coat day to day. Definitely a weekend for digging out the warm cardigans and the hats and the warm cardigans and the hats and the scarves because its feeling fresh out there. There will be some sunshine around, not too bad for many but not everywhere, strong winds for some. Sunshine in the highlands in scotland but Eastern England will seek the brunt of the strong winds and some showers. Staying chilly through the weekend. For some there will be rain, particularly east yorkshire, lincolnshire, east anglia, some showers for kent. Here we will see the really strong winds. For scotla nd the really strong winds. For scotland and Northern Ireland caught one or two showers first thing but they should fade away. Some sunshine for wales and then towards the south west. Feeling cooler where you are exposed to the brisk northerly winds. Average wind speed of 28 mph for the east coast of england. Those are gusts across Eastern England could reach up to 50 mph, driving in big waves along the coast. Cloud drifting further west through the afternoon and into the evening. Clear skies tonight for western scotla nd clear skies tonight for western scotland and Northern Ireland, temperatures close to or a little below freezing in some spots. Cloudier and milder to start tomorrow in the east. Another day of east west split tomorrow, cloudy and breezy for Eastern England but for the rest of the uk drier and brighter. Some sunshine but still quite chilly with temperatures between 11 and 18 celsius. Its a year since one of the uks biggest holiday businesses collapsed the closure of thomas cook ended more than a hundred years of trading as a travel company. When it folded in september last year, around 150,000 holiday makers were left stranded abroad and more than 20,000 Staff Members worldwide lost theirjobs. So what has the last year held for the people who worked at the firm . Were joined now by matthew mckay, who was a thomas cook pilot and by alison Fox Fitzgerald who was a member of the cabin crew. Alison, what has the last year been light, the whole industry has changed, hasnt it . Yes, absolutely. Who could predict the situation that we found ourselves in now. Just over one year ago thomas cook went into liquidation on the 23rd of september, we were a booming Company Prior to that, flying all over the world. All airlines were doing really well, and now. Where does that leave you in terms of trying to find a newjob in that industry that i know you loved. There are no jobs at the moment, there are none. I was very lucky when thomas cook went down i got a job withjets two. I got a job with flybe initially and then that company whence, then i was lucky to get a job withjet2, then u nfortu nately i lucky to get a job withjet2, then unfortunately i wasnt able to get furloughed. Hopefully if the industry picks up again i will go back there but it is looking dire at the moment. Matthew, youve been a pilot for around 15 years, you were just putting down roots close to home, how was it when everything fell apart . We were in a position whereby i sold my apartment and were just about to buy a house to move in together with a baby on the way three months after thomas cook. It was pretty horrendous. I will be honest. Those plans had to be immediately shelved and we all went on a big money saving time because unfortunately for us, we are in a smaller house with 22 children now and there is no easy way to be able to get mortgages now easy way to be able to get mortgages now to two children now. You work with other pilots as a mentor. I imagine one of the things youve all been talking about is Mental Health. How can you support each other . As pilots as a group we are incredibly resilient. That is one of the hallmarks of ourjob. We are an incredible stress managers and incredible in crisis times. But one of the things we all do is hold the stresses and hold those things inside ourselves. And what we are doing with resilient pilot is promoting that it is good to talk, keep working together as a massive team. We usually sit in a cockpit next to somebody for up to 12 or 13 hours at times and talk about everything you could possibly imagine. So now not flying as much, weve completely lost that wonderful camaraderie that we all had. Allison, i guess you missed that sense of community, as well . Absolutely, we are a team of four hours at 30,000 feet. We talk about anything and everything. Fortunately, we have got facebook, whatsapp, we at thomas cook have all ke pt whatsapp, we at thomas cook have all kept together and supported each other. We still have the whatsapp groups that we had at thomas cook, and they have been a great support to all of us. We putjob opportunities on there, we tell each other whats going on, pick each other whats going on, pick each other up. That support network has been vital, absolutely buy to. We needed it specially this week with the Year Anniversary since the company went down. But we still have got that support. What a year it has been for all of you that work for the company. Thank you both, we wish you all the best for the year ahead. Matt, is a picture of your daughter behind you . Yes, thats olivia. She has just turned seven, we have just managed to get out and about for a bit which has been lovely. She will be pleased with that, very clever product placement. Stay with us, headlines coming up. Hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. Good morning, heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. Police are investigating the background of a man suspected of shooting dead a Police Officer at a Custody Centre in croydon. Sergeant matt rata na, who was born in new zealand, died in hospital yesterday after being shot as a handcuffed suspect was being checked in.

President trump is reported to have picked Amy Coney Barrett a federaljudge known for her conservative religious views to become the new supreme courtjustice. Donald trump told reporters that he was impressed by judge Coney Barretts credentials. She would replace the liberal Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg, who died last friday. A formal announcement is expected this evening. Those are the main stories this morning. We have been talking today about the impact on business, all kinds of business, of the coronavirus crisis. That goes to football, as well, mike . Of course, with football being business, it depends on the fans coming through the turnstiles to keep them going. With that not happening now, there is a real viewers about what might happen this winter unless they get some financial help. Chelsea manager Frank Lampard says hes confident the premier league will come up with a plan to help the struggling Lower League Clubs. He is confident the top clubs will come together to help out. The English Football League has warned it faces a £200 million collective loss due to the pandemic if spectators cannot return this season, and the chelsea manager understands the responsibility of those elite clubs at the top. There will be more on all this and the plight of Lower League Clubs on football focus, on bbc one at 12 noon. And dan will be hosting hes in the newsroom today. Morning, dan. We have heard some stark warnings last week that kay could be weeks, not months, for some clubs as they do not help quickly . Its a really troublesome situation for quite a few clu bs troublesome situation for quite a few clubs outside of the premier league at the moment. I dont know of many people heard the chairman of the English Football League speaking on the radio last night, he was giving a really stark picture of the situation that many of the clubs are in at the moment. One of the things i found in at the moment. One of the things ifound in in at the moment. One of the things i found in recent in at the moment. One of the things ifound in recent research is that those clubs in the efl rely on a £444 million worth of owner money to basically keep them afloat. Some businesses have been doing well during the pandemic, some have been struggling. They are missing out on that money as well on top of the fa ct that money as well on top of the fact they are getting zero gate receipts. He was touching on the point that if money can filter down from the top levels of football, where there is still a lot of money floating around, then they can make those clubs are below the premier league form of sustainable intent of the way that they are run. That is something we will be looking at today. Also, it has been a bumper weekend, last weekend, in the premier league 44 goals. We have silverfrom premier league 44 goals. We have silver from chelsea, we premier league 44 goals. We have silverfrom chelsea, we will premier league 44 goals. We have silver from chelsea, we will hear from lucy bronze and alex greenwood, who made a move from lyon to Manchester City. Danny ings is on the programme, as well. Great season last time, loads of goals for southampton. He is on talking about all sorts of things, including pa rental all sorts of things, including parental influence. Danny, you come from a pretty close knit family, dont you . Your father is a keen footballer was it ultimately that influence from him that got you into the sport in the first place . I mean, hes a keen footballer, but he was never that good. I know hes going to see this so i can say that. But, no, he is without a doubt the biggest influence on me, in my career. You know, it started from going out with him every day, teaching me new things. He was very tough on me, but its worked out quite well. Im sure papa ings will have something to say about that. We will also hear from watford after being relegated. They will play at luton this weekend, that will take place asa this weekend, that will take place as a fixture for the first time in 14 years. Most people talk about what food and their lack of managers, 17 managers they have went through in the last decade. We also talk about laying out messy, remember that facts are trying to leave the club . He will stay there. Many people have seen the story about hollywood potentially coming to wrexham, so we will touch with dion dublin and martin keown on the potential of Ryan Reynolds putting some money into wrexham. I think that was one of the stories like a lot of peoples attention this week. We were just lot of peoples attention this week. We werejust thinking, lot of peoples attention this week. We were just thinking, why . Was lot of peoples attention this week. We werejust thinking, why . Was it that tweet back in 2012 from a fan . He said he waited ten years to respond to that. It will be fascinating to see what happens. As well as a down on football, focus, well as a down on football, focus, we are also looking forward to huge they all live sport on the bbc. Including arsenal against tottenham, in the womens fa cup quarter finals. And one of the biggest stars in the game, alex morgan could make her tottenham debut she co captained the usa to victory in last years world cup. The match is live on bbc two at 5. 15. Before that, at 12 45 on bbc two, you can watch, englands women, bid to wrap up the t20 series against west indies. Theyre 2 0 up in the five match series. And having spent the last few weeks in a bio bubble in derby, some of the squad are finding plenty of ways to stay busy. Like playing monopoly and also learning to cut hair. Lewis hamilton, will be looking to claim pole position later, to give himself the best chance of equalling Michael Schumachers record, of 91 wins at tomorrows russian grand prix. But his Mercedes Team mate Valtteri Bottas, is standing in his way. The finn was more than a quarter of a second faster, than hamilton, during practice in sochi. Qualifying gets underway at one oclock. And Lewis Hamiltons brother, nicolas, is also behind the wheel this weekend. Hes racing in the british touring car championship at silverstone for team hard. He says the family are showing motorsport, is a sport for all. I almost feel if the Hamilton Family, me included, my dad and my mum and everybody, and lewis, if we cant make a change, then who will be able to make a change . Because, you know, the Hamilton Family is the biggest name in motorsport, and were not doing it for ourselves, were doing it for others. And i think they need to make sure that they value this opportunity and try and get behind us in every way, and we can see that theyre doing that, but theres still a long way to go. And at 9 30, we will be on the track with the first female driver in the touring car championship for 13 years, jade edwards. Almost half the population of wales will be under lockdown by the end of the weekend as new restrictions were announced for cardiff, swansea and the town of llanelli. It means people will not be able to leave the area without a reasonable excuse and household mixing is banned. Were joined by the Welsh Health Minister vaughan gething. Thank you forjoining us today. How series is the situation in wales . Thank you forjoining us today. How series is the situation in wales7m real, and is very serious. I would say we are in a comparable place towards the end of february. We ended large parts of nhs activity, about two weeks later, we are in full lockdown free and a bit weeks later. We have seen a sharp rise in cases in all of the areas with local restrictions, it is being driven by indoor household contact. So, more people than should be in that household bubble going in and mixing, and that is extending out into licensed premises. You can go out for a drink, but only with people in your household bubble. It is real and serious, it is in a slightly different parts of wales, but we are seeing it is notjust younger adults, we are announcing a challenge in the behaviour of some older adults, 40 50. The risk to your home as you get older is actually much more significant. We are also imports of lockdown restrictions are driven by younger adults, we are seeing it is going into older age groups. The risks are very real, and we are doing it now to avoid much more significant harm taking place. We are also seeing possible admissions going up, as well. If the situation right now in wales is comparable to the end of february, how confident are you that the measure is introducing this weekend will stop it getting as bad as it turned out to be in march and april . The measures we are going to ta ke april . The measures we are going to take art about intervening to help support people to behave in at the right way. Some of that is a requirement, you cant mix with people outside your own home, it is a significant intrusion into pupils civil liberties, but we are doing that to keep people alive. So the message about the rules about how so contact and social distancing art there because we have to do this to try and avoid much more significant harm. If we cannot see some collective turnaround in the collective turnaround in the collective discipline, then we are going to have to consider taking further measures. It is worth reflecting that just five further measures. It is worth reflecting thatjust five or six of ago, we had a loose level of intensive care admissions of grown up virus. Now, five weeks later, we are seeing a very sharp upswing in the numbers. Admissions of coronavirus. What do you think is the main reason for that . Whilst coronavirus was always suppressed, there is always a reservoir within communities. As it has been a further breakdown in social distancing and as more people are socialising outside the home and within the home, that household indoor contact is what is driving transmissions, together with some imported transmissions from european holidays, that is why we took early action on greek islands, for example. But it is notjust external transmissions from other countries, it is how we are choosing to behave. That is why we need to rediscover the collective discipline that we saw. I think this is really important for the future. Caerphilly was the first local aid to have these restrictions in place, we are now seeing a fall in the number of transmissions taking place. The first local area. I do is show that where people do follow the rules, it is possible to see the widest rates going down. We will see in the next week whether we are enemies each position to ease the rules. Hopefully, they will allow us to ease the restrictions without risking Public Health. There has to bea risking Public Health. There has to be a real clarity of message and understanding. I think some of these restrictions come into llanelli tonight, then in swansea and cardiff tomorrow night. It is hard to keep and where and how. Shouldnt you be and where and how. Shouldnt you be a bit more consistent in terms of the timescale . Make it easier to get public discipline . In every area with restrictions introduced, they come in from six in the evening, we advertise advertise well in advance. They are taking place in localities where people understand what that means. Why notjust do it and all these places that you are going to introduce this weekend at the same time on the same day . Wouldnt that be clearer . That is always a challenge, it would have been clearer and easier to say everything is happening tonight. But the pattern is slightly different. They race in llanelli are even more significant than in the swansea and cardiff. The rates in llanelli. We also have to take a look at talbot, neighbouring swansea, to see whether we do need to act there as well. So the data that we get today and tomorrow will be very important to understand what happens. Id also allows people to re organise their affairs. If we introduce those restrictions at a large scale in swa nsea restrictions at a large scale in swansea and cardiff, we could see some real challenges with people being required to leave tonight as opposed to tomorrow. We have been very clear that these ugly measures to protect Public Health. I dont think there is any ambiguity about the fact that the measures are taking place and when they are taking place and when they are taking place. Everyone has their pa rt taking place. Everyone has their part to play in keeping us all safe. Heres sarah with the weather. Certainly a weekender for digging out perhaps an extra player or so because things are feeling quite chilly and autumnal out there. For some others, the sunshine is out. We will see sunny spells avoid many. But for Eastern England, it is going to be particularly windy, cloudy, with some chalmers as well. Certainly a weekend of mixed fortunes. To the east, low pressure at the rise of those strong winds and the showers. Further north west, higher pressure keeps things largely dry and settled. Plenty of showers this morning, by the afternoon they will drift further south, brisk winds in the east. For the rest of the uk, barone winds in the east. For the rest of the uk, bar one or two showers, it is looking largely dry throughout the day. Temperatures for most of us somewhere between 12 16 c, but it is a feeling colour when you are exposed to the brisk northerly wind. Breezy wherever you are, but the really strong gust of wind will be 40 or 50 really strong gust of wind will be 40 or50 mph, down really strong gust of wind will be 40 or 50 mph, down towards the east coast of england, thriving in the some big ways around the coastline. It will be cloudy across central and eastern parts of england, further north and west, clearer skies overnight to a coder start to sunday, likely to have a touch of frost for rural parts of scotland tomorrow. Still breezy tomorrow, but not quite as windy as the past couple of days. Further west, a lot of sunshine and dry weather, less windy here so it will feel quite pleasa nt windy here so it will feel quite pleasant across parts of Northern Ireland, western scotland, parts of wales too. Temperatures doing well, perhaps 18 celsius in the warmest spots. Looking into the new working week, High Pressure tries to build in, but then a frontal system comes in from the west meaning we will lose at strong winds from eastern areas. Looking at monday and tuesday, many of us not having a bad winter of weather, some drier and brighter weather on the cards. From may week onwards, it looks like a return to that unsettled and autumnal weather. We could actually do with some wintry weather right now. We could do with some eyes. Stop it. We could do with some arctic blast. And aye i know where you are going, go on. We are talking about dancing on ice. Its the show that asks celebrities to get their skates on dancing on ice returns to our screens in the new year and this morning we can reveal two of the stars who will be taking part. One is a five time olympic skier, the other a former olympic athlete. Graham bell and colin jacksonjoin us now. Are you mad . I know that graham is the ice doesnt scare me, call them, is the dancing. You can i have seen you on strictky in. It will be quite a contest between the two of you and the other contestants. The rehearsals start right away . the other contestants. The rehearsals start right away . I dont know if anybody has tried ice skating boots but they are pretty tidy. You have to got to get your feetin tidy. You have to got to get your feet in there and start to get used to balancing on them. We were not actually get onto the ice fully until the middle of october. Colin says that, but i can guarantee that he has called up kachina vics, flown her over from germany, hide he has called up kachina vics, flown her overfrom germany, hide heras he has called up kachina vics, flown her over from germany, hide her as a personal coach. He has been doing it for years, waiting for this moment when i saw this, graham, i thought that you would surely be good at this. When you watch the show, i think 90 of it is the fear of falling over, and you are not afraid of that . Yes, i do have that from a skiing. I used to play ice hockey when i was a kid. When the mountain was shot at kane gorham, we would do skating instead. They are similar controls, but it really is the dancing that is scaring me, and the performance as well. If anyone has seen me performance as well. If anyone has seen me dance, mostly on tables wearing ski boots. It is not something kind of graceful and elegant but you can skate. Colin, what about you . Elegant but you can skate. Colin, what about you . Have you done skating in the past . Yes, i have done some skating in the past. Im still giggling about graham saying about dancing on tables. Sport, in certain fields, you certainly have a bit of balance which will certainly be transferable in the certain circumstance. How much dancing we will do, who knows . We will see how the choreography goes. Graham, you may just need to the choreography goes. Graham, you mayjust need to balance. The other thing i know about colin is that he is an excellent people. I actually coached him back in 2007 on ski sunday, and he was one of the pupils let takes on information so well. He was like teachers pet, tell him to do something and itsjust done straightaway. We have a little reminder of your time on strictly. Here we go, have a look at this. Very light on your feet there. This about well, call them, you are going to be one of the favourites. Do you think so . Strictly was one thing, im not sure i can beat that light on my feet with some skates on. But im going to try. Youll learn a new skill the, the whole new skill of skating will be a huge plus. I am looking forward to it. Graham, when the call came through to you and they asked if you fancied it, what was the thought process . Just the ability and the gift to be coached and to have someone teach you a new skill, i think that is a very important. Physically during lockdown, i learned how to kayak over the summer. Taking on new information and doing physical exercise at the same time is good for both body and mind at the same time. Graham, are you a good student . You say colin is, are you . I dont know, im a very visual learner, im sort of like monkey see, monkey do. None of your competitors are watching this morning. Mining class, denise van eltingh, Jason Donovan some of the names who will be against you. Who do you feel the most . Jason donovan is obviously a big performer, isnt he . But denise can dance, she has beenin he . But denise can dance, she has been in musicals, so she is capable of dancing. I think it will be down to the skating, if you have that skating skill and can hold it together with your dancing, you have a reasonably good chance. But the main thing is that we are going to have a really good time with it. The line up this year has got to be one of the best in recent times. How daunting is that . There are some big names. There are some huge names in there. This is my First Experience into this world. A few years ago i was working on the jump, one of the most infamous programmes of this nature. But i was on the other side, chief celebrities carer, not in front of the camera. You know from doing that show the risk involved in these things, ice, celebrities competition. This view could get hurt . I can guarantee someone will get hurt, there will be some injury along the way. I love that i love that as well , someone is guaranteed to get hurt. Guaranteed is that what it says in the disclaimer that you have to assign . Mine certainly says someone will get hurt. That could possibly happen. As graham will tell you, there are only two edges on your skate, if you go slightly left or right you could end up slightly left or right you could end up on your face. Slightly left or right you could end up on yourface. This is how precise this show is, that is why we spend so this show is, that is why we spend so much time learning to skate. There are four edges on the skates, colinlm looking forward to seeing you to skate together. Lovingly together. Lovingly banter, lovingly skating, enjoy it, have a brilliant time. Stay with us, headlines coming up. This good this morning welcome to breakfast good morning welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent.

Thank you. More than a quarter of the uk population is set to be under lockdown rules as new restrictions come into force this weekend. From today in england, households in leeds, wigan, stockport and blackpool will be banned from mixing in each others homes or gardens. It comes as hundreds of University Students in manchester have been told not to leave their halls of residence. Richard galpin reports. Manchester metropolitan university, one of the growing list of universities across the country where students have had to go into lockdown in their accommodation blocks. This the result of a significant spike in coronavirus cases. 1,700 students here having to self isolate for two weeks, the aim to suppress the outbreak. It is a bleak start to the new Academic Year. Weve just been told we have to stay in our flats for two weeks. Bearing in mind, like, a lot of us have already been isolating for the past two weeks or ten days because a lot of us have had coronavirus or been in contact with somebody with it. Weve not been given any indication of how were going to get the supplies we need, like shopping, and we have no access to washing machines to wash our clothes. The situations also increasingly bleak here in south wales. The town of llanelli is today being added to the areas that have already been sealed off no one able to enter or leave without a specific excuse. Cardiff and swansea also due to join the list on sunday. All this bringing almost half the population of wales under lockdown. Meanwhile, from today, people in leeds as well as stockport, wigan and blackpool are banned from gathering in a private dwelling or garden with any other household unless in a support bubble. I dont think people take notice, personally. I think people are just going to do what they want, really. You cant police it, its impossible. I imagine if its got to be done, the measures have got to be done, so. Safety first, so, whatever it takes. If we have to do it we have to do it. Yeah, i am worried, because my grandmas by herself so, like, i do worry about her. But everybodys got to do their part, really. The latest official figures clearly show infection rates are increasing across the country, with 6,874 new cases and 34 new deaths. And now london has been put on a watchlist as cases increase.

Luxmy gopal is in manchester for us this morning, where1700 students have been told to isolate at Manchester Metropolitan Universitys halls of residence. Luxmy, how significant is the outbreak there . They turned up just days ago to begin at that exciting new lives and now they are locked down in those buildings behind you. Absolutely. It has been put on pause before it has even begun. It is a lovely sunny morning here in manchester but the stu d e nts morning here in manchester but the students trapped in these halls of residence are not able to enjoy it because they are not allowed to set foot outside that building for 14 days unless it is an absolute emergency. Behind me there is a Security Officer there to make sure thatis Security Officer there to make sure that is not happening. Notjust this building, there is another student block down the roads, cambridge halls, and they are in the same situation, in total 1700 students at Manchester Metropolitan University in lockdown after an outbreak of more than 100 cases of coronavirus among students. The university and couege among students. The university and College Union has called this a wholly predictable crisis, they say they want about it last month and they want about it last month and they say its unfair on both stu d e nts they say its unfair on both students and the local community. A local councillor says she wants to reassure the local community the outbreak is contained within the student community, its not spread to the wider population. She said she wants to keep it that way. This is not the only place it has happened. Its also been happening at universities in scotland, at Glasgow University 172 students have tested positive for coronavirus and the University Says its 600 people are self isolating. We havent even really got started. There are lots of stu d e nts really got started. There are lots of students who still have not reached their campuses and halls of residence across the country because courses havent started yet. It is reasonable to expect perhaps even inevitable, we will see more things like this happening. Thank you pretty much indeed.

A formal announcement is expected this evening. It is 11 minutes past nine. You are watching breakfast from bbc news. Marcus rashford is continuing his battle to fight child food poverty after the education secretary responded to his calls for change. In a letter seen by this programme, Gavin Williamson says he wants to Work Together on the issue, and has highlighted support including food parcels, vouchers schemes and a summer food fund. Ut he stopped short of backing Marcus Rashfords campaign, instead saying. In response to the letter Marcus Rashford wrote. The Manchester United and england footballer has previously spoken to bbc breakfast about his own experiences of using a food Voucher Scheme as a child. My my mum was a single parent. She has got five kids all living in the same house. She did the best she could. We used to go to a shop called pound world and schedule out the week so we would get seven yoghurts and you will get one each day and so on. There are some families out there like me with four or five kids, there are some families out there like me with four orfive kids, so its literally impossible to take control of the situation. Lets speak now to the chair of the education select committee, robert halfon, whojoins us from harlow. Good morning to you. Great to see you this morning. You have been echoing these calls from Marcus Rashford for extra help for families and children struggling at the moment, and you have an update, i believe. All of us should be listening to what Marcus Rashford is saying because he has lived through food hunger and food poverty. And we now millions of children are faced with food poverty, 1. 4 million, according to the trussell trust. We have 3. 7 million children living in absolute poverty. We need to deal with this. I am working with mps across all the parties are particularly a labour party mp, and a backbench committee. We bid for a debate on food hunger combating, particularly combating child food hunger, and weve been granted that debate and we are waiting for a date. But i would like to see a National Strategy from the government. I welcome the individual programme to set out in the education secretarys letter but what we need, there are lots of different programmes and we dont know their effectiveness and to meet the most important thing of all is to extend the Free School Meals over the School Holidays. Youve seen the letter from the education secretary in full, what is your reaction to what he said and how Marcus Rashford responded to that, which is simply that we should do better . We need to doa that we should do better . We need to do a lot better. Of course the letter listed all the existing food programmes that the government has, andi programmes that the government has, and i welcome that. But it is not enough. We need to think imaginatively. We cant have a food policy are in essence and elastoplast. There has to be a National Strategy. I think there should be, this task force that Marcus Rashford has set up, a government minister, the Education Minister should sit on that task force, get the data to the real extent of child food hunger in the uk and work out policies to deal with it, particularly in terms of the benefit system. We should look at the sugar tax. At the moment the sugar tax disproportionately hits those on low incomes but if it will raise over 300 million why on earth dont we use that money to combat food hunger . We could use that perhaps to pay for Free School Meal vouchers during the School Holidays which would make a huge difference. We need to look at, we have a summer camp over the past few weeks, we should have regular holiday camps with activities and food. I would like to see a lot more work done by business to support the Healthy Eating vouchers. It is great they are sitting on the task force but they also need to play a part as well. I think the government need to treat this, it is a major social injustice, childhood hunger is going on in our country, and they need to treat this with relief, a real seriousness and make it a priority. Have a National Strategy. We are just a couple of weeks away from the neck School Holiday, october half term, is it frustrating to see these wheels are moving very slowly the next School Holiday. They must not move slowly. I hope when we have our backbench debate in the house of commons, it will make a difference. I suspect it will be supported by a vote of mps across the political divide. What Marcus Rashford is doing incredibly important because he is putting this issue into the national consciousness. Everybody now knows about child food hunger. The biggest thing the government can do straightaway is make sure they extend Free School Meals during the holidays. And there is the money to do that. Im not even asking for more money, i am arguing that they should use the sugar tax, hundreds of millions raised for that, to pay for it. I want to pause for a moment and remind you of Marcus Rashfords response to the letter, he told the bbc, i didnt have the education of a politician, ive never claimed to have all of the answers, but i have a voice and i will continue to use it for the millions who are not being heard. Having spent my off season sitting with families and children most affected, staying quiet is not an option. The drive of myself and the task force to see these three Government Policies implemented without delay is stronger than ever. For clarity, implemented without delay is strongerthan ever. For clarity, i have no interest in party politics, letting millions of children in the uk go hungry at night is only an issue of humanity. We need to do better. There is a 22 year old footballer speaking from experience because he one of those kids. Are you surprised Gavin Williamson has not gone further in that letter . Gavin Williamson has not gone further in that letter . I would have preferred that letter set out a serious programme of things we will do in the future. To be fair, the letter had a lot of government programmes listed to help but it is a lot of clothes pegs without a washing line. We need a National Strategy. We need to treat it as a priority in addressing this and listened to it Marcus Rashford, we need to combat childhood hunger in our country. Lets start off by extending Free School Meals during the holidays. Lovely to talk to you this morning, thank you very much. Heres sarah with a look at your weekend weather. It has been lovely in a lot of places, weve seen some gorgeous pictures. Good morning. A real mixed weekend. Blue skies and sunshine but also seems a bit like this. This is the suffolk coast. Strong northerly winds driving in a big waves. And the wet weather as well. Rain and wind for many eastern parts of england but away from Eastern England but away from Eastern England more sunshine. We will all notice its fairly chilly out there this weekend and a brisk northerly wind as well. Slow moving area of low pressure out towards the east which has been a bit of a troublemaker over recent days and it is still bringing strong winds and showers for Eastern England, particularly lincolnshire, east anglia and later into the afternoon drifting further south toward london and kent. Away from these eastern counties most other places having a pretty decent diary. The odd shower for scotland and Northern Ireland this morning but that is fading. Sunny spells for wales, south west england, and temperatures generally around 12 16 but feeling cooler weather is that brisk northerly wind, especially on the east coast. Winds foremost between ten and 20 mph but there will be just as strong as 40 or 50 mph, mph but there will be just as strong as 40 or50 mph, driving in a big waves along the coast of east riding down toward lincolnshire and norfolk. Through into the evening, still showers to come for east anglia and the south east, they should clear fairly quickly. Overnight quite cloudy for central and Eastern England but for much of the uk we have clear skies and lighter winds overnight. Temperatures close to or even slightly below freezing, we expect a touch of frost for parts of scotland in particular. Through tomorrow similar with today, east west splits, cloudy skies for Eastern England and perhaps eastern scotland, breezy but not quite as windy as recent days and the odd shower lingering for a sunday afternoon. Elsewhere, lighter winds, blue skies and sunshine as well. Still feeling quite fresh for the time of yearfor still feeling quite fresh for the time of year for many, temperatures for the northern half of the uk between 11 and 14 celsius. Further south likely to see high temperatures of up to 18 celsius in cardiff. Then it looking less windy in the monday and tuesday. It seems a bit cool to show the Weather Forecast for some people at the moment because some people cant go outside. Just days after arriving at university, 1700 students in manchester have been forced to self isolate with immediate effect. Students in accommodation blocks at birley campus and at cambridge halls are affected by the latest lockdown after 127 of them tested positive for coronavirus. Student alex hoy is one of those affected and joins us now. Lets speak tojo barnes. How is it going, how are you and your mates . Distorted. Im glad to hear you are doing ok but there is a slight problem with the sound on that. We will come back to you in a second. Were joined by Epidemiologist Dr amitava banerjee. Should we be surprised that coronavirus seems to be rife in University Halls of residence . Good morning. I think that we should not be surprised because universities is like schools, just like workplaces, are part of society, so if cases are rising in general, then we start having more people interact, then cases will rise. So im not surprised about that. But we do need to follow the established guidance, including internationally, of testing, tracing and isolating. suppose locking down a hall of residence and keeping 1700 students inside over the next couple of weeks protects the Wider Community but i would not have thought it is particularly great for the people who are then trapped inside that building. Theyve got to be careful themselves about not transferring themselves about not transferring the virus between themselves, havent they . You are absolutely right. I genuinely feel for University Students and everyday concern. I work in university and myself and these are challenging times. And everyone concerned. One of the challenges as we are thinking of this in different sectors rather than at a system level and if we dont keep the infection right down overall caught what it is the economy or infection rates in the universities, they will be affected. Everything will be better if we keep the overall infection right down. You wonder whether it was the best idea for stu d e nts to whether it was the best idea for students to go back in these numbers to university. You work in university, when you heard a lot of campuses were bringing back thousands of students, did you think that was a wise plan . I think it is a difficult decision, like all of these things. It is not totally black and white. And we have to balance between giving our students as good an experience and the best learning opportunities that we can, as well as keeping them safe. And so balancing between virtual and face to face. What we is that without the right infrastructure and testing in place this is very difficult to maintain. Some universities have said they will be carrying out private testing, they are giving occasional, every week or 22, a certain number of students will be tested but you are saying thatis will be tested but you are saying that is only a few campuses and not everybody can afford that. that is only a few campuses and not everybody can afford that. I think, you raise an important point, we cant have stopgap solutions or some solutions that work for some people, this has to work for the many, if not everybody. Whether thats in terms of testing, in terms of other policies, otherwise we are widening existing issues and increasing infection rates. We must make sure testing is available in all places. Thanks forjoining us here on brea kfast thanks forjoining us here on breakfast this morning. Im happy to say that we can go back tojo who is stuck in his hall of residence in manchester. Having to self isolate for a couple of weeks. I think at the sound is restored. You are ok, you are healthy but you cant go out. How are you feeling . It has left the morale of my flat pretty loud, to be fair. To put it into perspective, weve just had what should have been ourfreshers perspective, weve just had what should have been our freshers week, so should have been our freshers week, so it should have been going out and making the most of it and that we are stuck inside for another to two weeks after already isolating for one week, because a couple of people in ourflat one week, because a couple of people in our flat caught the virus. So we dont see the end of it, really. You can imagine this kind of thing happening from now on . Yeah, i mean, we hope a short, sharp lockdown will help reduce the infection rate, and hopefully get over the hundreds of cases weve got here already. Looking forward to things like christmas are looking less and less hopeful. I mean, youvejust started university, its a big moment in your life, as part of you thinking, i wish i hadnt even come . Yeah, but then id already taken a year out, so then id already taken a year out, so delaying university by another year didnt really seem like an option at the time, although it is interesting to consider what might have happened if ijust left it another year, what my experience might have been like. With one answer beat stay at home with your family can live there and do it your studying on line because lots of the teachings online anyway, if you can socialise and you are in a Building Full of students, there is no point being there, is there . Weve had an announcement from the university saying all our lessons will be online for these two weeks. Theoretically, i could go home and study from home but for me that sort of defeats the point of coming to university at all. Ive not only come to study but to meet new people and enjoy the experience, and to go back home to mix injust and enjoy the experience, and to go back home to mix in just seems a little bit pointless. You will have seen some little bit pointless. You will have seen some of the coverage on social media saying some students have been partying too hard and mingling too much and that is why they arent now going through this lockdown, have you been aware of situations which have not helped . You been aware of situations which have not helped . Yeah, ive certainly heard Horror Stories of massive parties in some of the holes, there was one on the news recently which was reported to be over 100 people in one flat, which given the current guidelines is unbelievable massive parties in some of the halls. Ive not been pa rt some of the halls. Ive not been part of any of those things. But its very frustrating to hear about it. You can obviously predict the result, and that has come now with the two week lockdown. Its frustrating no one else could have foreseen that. Well, really we wish you well. Thanks forjoining us. Sorry to get you up early on a saturday morning but i suppose there is not much else to do at the moment take care and best wishes to you and the guys in your flat. Well done for answering that phone call. We were trying to get someone up call. We were trying to get someone up to talk to us this is breakfast. Were on bbc one until ten oclock this morning, when matt takes over in the saturday kitchen. What have you got . Our special guest as the fabulous catamaran. Caitlin moran. Food heaven . Ceviche. Mainly because ijust learned how to pronounce it. And what about hell . When i said it i knew it would be horrible, its a big pass that with blue cheese sauce and croutons. That is heavy at nine oclock at night but for breakfast . You are cooking twice today, freddie. What have you got . Good question. Artichokes slow cooked with tomatoes and sweet herbs and creme fraiche and white wine andl herbs and creme fraiche and white wine and i am doing a salmon with purple sprouting broccoli. Quite the memory normally one dish helen mcginn is in charge of the drinks. How are you . Im really well, thank you. You . Good. Nice to see you. Dont forget, you guys at home are in charge of deciding what caitlin eats. I love the fact the person in charge of the drinks is on zoom so she gets to drink it all coming up in the next half hour. Its so good to be back on stage and not wearing elasticated clothing any more the coronavirus outbreak has left live comedy in crisis well hear about a new series that aims to get comedians and audiences smiling again. Stay with us, headlines coming up. Hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. A talented officer with a big heart thats how the metropolitan Police Commissioner, cressida dick, has described Sergeant Matt ratana, who was shot dead yesterday morning in croydon. The 54 year old, who was originally from new zealand, had been living in the uk since 1989. Lets speak now to one of his friends, neil donohue, who joins us now. Iamso i am so sorry to be talking to you in sucha i am so sorry to be talking to you in such a desperately sad circumstances. First of all, tell me about matt, the amount who knew . Matt is the life and soul of the place, really. Hejoined the gym about five years ago, and really he what sort of the most nicest, and generous man you could meet. Anyone who came in, he always had time for them, he would chat to them, he a lwa ys them, he would chat to them, he always had a big smile on his face. He wasjust always had a big smile on his face. He was just really genuinely a nice quy he was just really genuinely a nice guy. Clearly a man who loved his sport, keeping fit and healthy what was he like to be around . He was just so inspirational. As you say, he loved his rugby and his gym and his motor bikes. If you were in the gym, he would always be in their training beside you, always encouraging people to do their best and helping people, joining in with them. Just generally, he was just there for everyone. Neil, how did you hear the news . One of the coaches from the rugby club found me up coaches from the rugby club found me up and asked if i had heard the news. Thats when he told me. It was just devastating. How do you ever thought about matt and thought that thejob thought about matt and thought that the job that he did was this dangerous . No. Matt was due to retire. I think you get in the custody side because he thought it was his safest option to see him through to his retirement. No one expected this to happen. How has this affected other people that knew him from the gym that you are at . And it isjust an him from the gym that you are at . And it is just an outpouring of sadness and devastation. Everyone loved matt, as i say, he was the life and soul of the gym. Everyone has nothing but good words to say about matt. It is just absolutely tragic. How will you remember him . Are there any lighter moments to hold onto those memories . He was genuinely a good laugh. One of the funnies moments was when he came cycling into the gym from a fold up bike, folded it up, suck it in a locker, trained, and thenjust cycled back out. He was constantly playing tricks and jokes on people. Never had a bad word to say about anyone. If he saw someone down or upset, he would always go over to talk to them. He was just such a gentleman. Neil, thank you very much indeed for sharing your memories with us this morning. That is neil talking to us from worthing this morning at. Safer to hear that he took thatjob in the custody unit because it was safer. We have been talking about the impact of coronavirus on different forms of businesses, that includes sport, doesnt it, matt . Yes, with no fans returning to watch football, it doesnt take Rocket Science to work out. We worked out that the weekly wage of a premier League Football that would see one lower league club through the whole season. Football league clubs worried about their survival during the coming season, without any fans, will draw some comfort and hope, from the words of chelsea manager Frank Lampard. He is confident the top clubs will come together to help out. The English Football League has warned it faces a £200 million collective loss due to the pandemic if spectators cannot return this season, and the chelsea manager understands the responsibility of those elite clubs at the top. I dont think theres anybody in any form of the game premier league at the top of the pyramid or Grassroots Football that doesnt want to see this game continue and for clubs not to go under, and for people not to lose theirjobs. So i think there will be some positive action, positive thoughts, from the people that are at the top of the game to make those plans. I will certainly support ideas to try and help any form of Grassroots Football or sport get the help it needs to stay alive during this tough time. We will all try to come together, i suppose. Were looking forward to a huge day of live sport on the bbc and this woman, alex morgan could well be a part of it. Shes one of the biggest stars in football she co captained the usa to world cup glory last year, and shes just signed for tottenham, who take on arsenal in the womens fa cup quarter finals. The match is live on bbc two at 5. 15. Before that, at one oclock, you can watch, englands women, bid to wrap up the t20 series against west indies theyre 2 0 up with three games to play. And on the bbc sport website and iplayer from 11. 30, Lizzie Diegnan, will attempt to regain the womens road race title, at the World Championships in imolah. She took the title back in 2015, and shes expected to be in contention again today. Lewis hamilton will be looking to claim pole position later to give himself the best chance of equalling Michael Schumachers record of 91 wins at tomorrows russian grand prix. But his Mercedes Team mate, Valtteri Bottas, was more than a quarter of a second faster than hamilton during practice in sochi. Qualifying gets underway at one oclock. What about racing in the sort of cars we all drive to get around . That is the idea of the british touring car championship, even if the cars are modified to give them extra power. And at silverstone this weekend, for the first time in over a decade, a female driver will be on the grid. Jade edwards, whos now 29, will get behind the wheel of the vauxhall astra, making her the first female to feature at the event since 2007. I went to meet her this week in training at donnington. For over a decade now, its been all quiet when it comes to a female drivers in the british touring car championship. But this weekend, one women is out to shut out the silence. Here we are after yea rs of to shut out the silence. Here we are after years of trying to break the barriers and getting the right finances behind her, jade has finally got a chance to live her dream and make history. A really proud moment for me. Its an honour to break that dry spell of the most competing at this level. For me, is a personal achievement as well, ive deemed of the sun is a child. It is door to door racing, some of the best drivers in it, i have got to get my elbows out and be strong on track. What makes british touring car championship arguably more exciting and accessible than other sports is that the fearless drivers are basically in modified versions of the car is that many of us do the morning commute in. But this is where the comparisons end. The cars that you see on the road, they are ca rs that you see on the road, they are cars that you drive on a monday morning. With formula 1, you Never Get Close to them, you just see them on tv. I know it looks different on the inside, but the outside is a vauxhall astra. But if the sport is so vauxhall astra. But if the sport is so accessible, why has it been so long since a female driver at last competed in a championship race . It has taken jade 19 years competed in a championship race . It has takenjade 19 years to reach the top after she first fell in love of the sport at age of ten. My career has been tricky because with more sport you need the money to go racing, i have always had to rely on sponsorship. At the lower root level, it is these stereotypes, lets mix it up a bit and show that females can race cars. If we can shut out notts stereotypes, it can make a huge difference 38 years down the line. Physically, there is no reason why not. Our team has got a female team manager, my training manager is female. They are all there because of their ability. As soon as you are on there because of their ability. As soon as you are on the track, the name on the window is irrelevant. Due to covid rules, you are not allowed out on track with me today, which is such a shame. However, i have seen how David Coulthard reacted to your driving, so its touch and go. As forjade, she is now talking loud and clear to a whole generation. Hopefully, with this weekend, a lot of young girls might look at it and feel they fancy a bit of it and get to british touring car championship as well. There is a qualifier today, the race tomorrow, jason taking the place of the injured driver. At least i do get to drive around durrington, albeit at the village, not on the track because of covid 19 restrictions. Are you suggesting there is another mic visual . Much more talented, much more famous, we would chat on twitter quite often. At the moment, he is recovering from an injury so we wish him a speedy recovery. I wonder what the collective noun is. Dont, i will save i wonder what the collective noun is. Dont, iwill save you i wonder what the collective noun is. Dont, i will save you from that one. Online betting brings in more than two billion pounds a year, and as the new premier League Season gets underway almost half of all teams have Gambling Companies on their kit. Now a group of recovering gambling addicts are calling for change, and are walking more than 130 miles to make their case. Matt graveling reports. I lost every single penny i had in the world in 20 minutes. The most i ever did in a day, looking back, was over 600 bets in a day. There was one particular day where i spent £16,000 in a single day. It just got too much. Between them, they gambled away more than £1 million. Ijust need a minute. They say losing control after becoming addicted to mobile gambling, specifically footballs in play betting. At his lowest, ryan considered taking his life. I always felt quite alone, i guess, when i was gambling. Moneys money, but emotionally and inside, it just tears you to pieces. As the new football season kicks off, ryan, james and steve are supporting a new team one on a long road to recovery, made up of former addicts, plus friends and loved ones. Charity project, the big step, is currently doing a lot of steps. With Police Permission and in groups of six or less, they are taking on five marathons. Overfive days, this group will walk over 130 miles to gain the signatures for an online petition calling for a ban on a commercial football, petition calling for a ban on a commercialfootball, this petition calling for a ban on a commercial football, this includes tv commercials, signed at the side of the pitch, and the sponsorship on a match day shirts. Of the 20 teams in the premier league, half promote a Gambling Company on their kit, a number which is doubled within ten seasons. We dont want to stop anyone having a bet. It is about preventing kid to stop anyone having a bet. It is about preventing kids being exposed to gambling sponsorship and advertising in football. Even people that like it but we know are fed up with this level of advertising, it has just reached saturation point. Also walking is a friend ofjames, a psychological therapies. walking is a friend ofjames, a psychologicaltherapies. I have younger guys, from my experience so far, if you are gambling much more. These products have psychological hooks in their design. If you place an employee bet and win, that can be lethal because it then triggers something which means that you have to do it again. In july, something which means that you have to do it again. Injuly, a select Committee Recommended that premier league clubs should no longer be allowed betting firms on their shirts. In response, the premier league said, its a dangerous game, you know, when you consider how much children they actually taken with regard to their surroundings. Surely, this willjust breed more addicts. After admitting to stealing from work to feed his addiction, steve served ten months in prison. And a sane age, it seems that gambling is normal, the onus is put on the person be normal. It doesnt affect the one person, it affected everybody close to me. The Gambling Commission said that gambling advertising is subject to strict content. Football doesnt have to be the problem, it can be the solution. If i was problem, it can be the solution. If iwas ina problem, it can be the solution. If i was in a room with 20 clubs and said that you need to stop your addiction to gambling and predict the generation to not go through the same thing that we did. Matt graveling reporting. If you or someone you know has been affected by the issues raised this morning, you can find help and support on the bbcs actionline website, at bbc. Co. Uk actionline. Heres sarah with a final look at the weather. Sunshine for lots of others . For some of us, waking up to skies like this, this is the picture in hampshire this morning. But certainly not everywhere because we have got low pressure close to the east bringing some wet and windy weather to parts of Eastern England in particular. For all of us, you will notice it is feeling fairly fresh through the weekend, a bit of a northerly breeze around, the throngs of the bins will be in the east. I slow moving area of low pressure is out towards the east bringing some strong winds and heavy rain. There are heavy showers already across some eastern counties for scotland and Northern Ireland, perhaps one or two route showers over the next hour or so but they are fading away so much have dry and sunny weather here. Temperatures today somewhere between 12 16 c or so, but feeling cold or when you are exposed to that wind because it is coming in from a northerly direction. Average wind speeds about 1020 direction. Average wind speeds about 10 20 mph for most of us, but the gas will be higher, around the east coast around 40 50 mph, driving in some really big waves to the likes of norfolk and suffolk. The showers will gradually fade away this evening, then most places dry overnight. Temperatures will be stopped following too low in essential england by some cloud, set ona essential england by some cloud, set on a whole start to Northern Ireland and scotland, perhaps a touch of frost in the morning with temperatures below freezing in the countryside. Tomorrow has a touch of frost in the morning with temperatures below freezing in the countryside. Tomorrow has an the best of the sunshine further west. A fine day to come for scotland, Northern Ireland, wales, down towards a late north of england but eastern counties could catch one or two showers. Most places, the winds are light through the day on sunday. Temperatures are a touch warmer, we could see 18 degrees or so to was cardiff. A little cooler in scotland, only 11 celsius in aberdeen. Into the new working week, High Pressure is trying to nudge its way in from the south west, but a frontal system makes it way across the uk, tending to fizzle out as it bumps into higher pressure. One into tuesday, most places looking dry, should be a touch warmer than the weekend, then low pressure moves in, so weekend, then low pressure moves in, so things are looking more autumnal and we will see the arrival of wet and we will see the arrival of wet and windy weather at times. And the arrival of the big coat, i think. You have got yours already we have talked about several business areas affected by covid, business, sport, the travel industry. But the stages of comedy clubs throughout the country have been empty since march as the pandemic put an end to live performances. Now a new show is supporting grassroots comedy talent, by showcasing local comedians from different parts of the country. Were joined now by two of its hosts, fern brady and paddy raff. Fern,it fern, it sums up this is probably the kind of project you are desperate to get involved in, because thats what you want to do, get out there and make people laugh . Yeah, ithink get out there and make people laugh . Yeah, i think pretty much since everything shut down, most canadians, well, almost all comedians have just been sitting on their couches fought once because we cant really do ourjobs without an audience of his leave. It is good. Basically, because ive been going for a while, i will probably be ok from this pandemic, but it is the comedians a generation below me that had been affected. So it was a really cool to see the bbc get a chance to new acts. A lot of the a cts chance to new acts. A lot of the acts on this show, it wasntjust their first tv acts on this show, it wasntjust theirfirst tv guy, acts on this show, it wasntjust their first tv guy, it was their first gig bag after five or six months. First tv gig. First gig bag after five or six months. First tv gig. Paddy, how did lock down and not performing without you . Im quite lucky that i have two strands to what i do, a lot of live stage stuff and stuff online. I ended up doing a lot more stuff online and reaching a bigger audience than i would have without the pandemic. Ithought audience than i would have without the pandemic. I thought people were starting to be in no mood for having a laugh about current virus, but it turned out completely different, people keep messaging me asking for videos to get them through things. I ended up making a pilot show for bbc Northern Ireland during lockdown, so it was really busy for me in a strange way, but it was nice to get back to the stand up stuff after six months of not doing it. That is one of the thing that fascinates me. We are ina of the thing that fascinates me. We are in a global pandemic, a crisis, at what point can you try and make people laugh during that or about that . Or, do we need to, basically . Yeah, we really do. Ithought that . Or, do we need to, basically . Yeah, we really do. I thought there would be no uptake for it. At the start, there was a lot of unknowns. Very quickly. I think we have a dark sense of humour in any way, certainly over here. But i think everybody was a bit of relief on their timelines, that still seems to be the case and its good to see it on tv. I think we have consumed everything made before lockdown, ive completed netflix. Lets see bits of you guys in action. Fern, let see a clip of you from the new stop it so good to be back on stage put up its good not to be wearing elasticated clouding any more. How allow they wanted me to do local references, but im not from glasgow and im jealous of that because glaswegians have a long history of jokes. Im from a town called bathgate, its a very nothing town. When i was trying to write jokes about bathgate, i found a video on youtube called things to do in bathgate. One of the things that it was just a shot of bath gays army base. So, let me get this right, join the army and therefore leave bathgate . How was it making the show . Im still surprise they included a bit because i was so nervous at the start of this that i told an audience full of glaswegians that i wasnt from glasgow. Isnt that i wasnt from glasgow. Isnt that what you are in london this morning . Yeah i was wondering, how did they make the show, given social distancing . We all had to be tested beforehand, so tv has changed even in that regard. They filmed it in a sort of outdoors area. Basically, it was a beer garden that they made it look incredible. The audience how to be socially distance. To be honest, i wasnt really in charge of that bit. Since comedy restarted, some of the gigs have been so strange. Ive done a driving gig to 100 parked ca rs done a driving gig to 100 parked cars ina done a driving gig to 100 parked cars in a car park. Ive gigged on a rooftop in peckham. Its insane how many ways they are getting around the virus. Needs must and a crisis. Now its your turn, paddy, lets see your clip. Thanks for coming out and having a few drinks and supporting your local hospitality industry. Lets face it, we are filming this in belfast, so at least 50 of you haveis in belfast, so at least 50 of you have is not your own drink any. The catchphrase is it out to help out, not carry out to help out. I do it as well, its like a national sport. The worst thing is getting caught. I got caught once at a wedding. The waiter can pass and kick to it, hell look under the table, and she looked at me with disgust. Quite like this is your wedding. Ready to get that fish supper . What was it like to be able to properly interact with an audience and see the whites of their eyes . It was really strange. The alaska gig i did prior to lockdown was in the sse arena in Northern Ireland. It goes from being in the thousands, to nobody, then to walk back out to people applauding and cheering. I felt like a nurse on and cheering. I felt like a nurse on a thursday. The idea of this is to go to different locations with local comedians, local teams and local audiences. It is taking it back home, if you like . Actually, i heard about the belfast one, because we filmed after belfast, and i heard at the audience were really rowdy for that, so im really excited to see that, so im really excited to see that one. They did belfast, one in bristol, won in london to stop the main thing is that a lot of the comedians that are guest on it it is the first ever tv periods. They got a really good mix of acts from all over the uk, a really good mix of acts from all overthe uk, i a really good mix of acts from all over the uk, i think. Thank you for joining us. All the best, hope you get back to stand comedy properly. Stand up for comedy is on bbc one on monday at 10. 45pm, and the First Episode is available now on the bbc iplayer.
