Could it be lights out for some Visitor Attractions this october half term . Collectively they provide more than 3 million ukjobs but revenue is set to halve. More problems for wasps ahead of the Premiership Rugby final. They may be forced to pull out of the twickenham showpiece, after more players test positive for coronavirus. We are finding out what it takes to keep an 800 year old building in good repair, especially during the pandemic. We will take you on a very special tour of Salisbury Cathedral. Good morning. Ill start under mild day ahead. Some sunshine and heavy showers in the west. I will have all the details in ten minutes. Its tuesday 20th october. Our top story. Local leaders in Greater Manchester have been given a deadline of midday today to agree a deal on moving into the highest level of coronavirus restrictions. After ten days of talks between the regions leaders and the government in westminster, the communities secretary robertjenrick says urgent action is needed. But Greater Manchester mayor andy burnham has said repeatedly that the region wont back a move to tier 3 without increased Financial Support. Andy burnham will be here at 7 30am. Andy moore reports. The government says its been talking to local leaders in manchester for ten days, and its patience has run out. There will be a few hours left this morning to reach a deal, but if that cant be achieved, its expected tier 3 restrictions will be imposed on the city. Late last night, the government said there were more covid 19 patients in Greater Manchester hospitals than in the whole of the southwest and the southeast combined. If were not able to Reach Agreement by noon tomorrow, then, with deep regret, ill have to advise the Prime Minister that were not able to reach an agreement at this time. Earlier, local leaders had issued a statement challenging the governments interpretation of intensive care figures in the city. They said. Manchester is calling for a more generous Hardship Fund, and also challenging the fundamental approach of the government. What we want, apart from anything else, are measures that will deal with the rate of infection. And one of the real problems we face is that what government wants to impose upon us, there is no evidence that its stopping things that cause transmission and no evidence that the course of action theyre proposing to take will stop it. Sir richard believes that measures to protect those who need to shield would work a lot faster than the governments proposals to shut pubs and restaurants. What happens in manchester could prove a blueprint for millions of people in other parts of the country discussions on similar restrictions are planned with leaders in south yorkshire, West Yorkshire, nottinghamshire, north east england, and teesside. Andy moore, bbc news. In a moment well speak to our Political Correspondent chris mason in westminster, but first lets go to our correspondent dan johnson, who is in manchester. There is really now accounts down to this deadline. Good morning. Absolutely. Yes, all eyes on the government, really, to see what happens at midday. At first we should see what happens this morning, whether there are further talks, whether there can be any more progress. Im not sure how much hope there is for that because weve been here before, weve been talking about this the day after day after day now. There was some optimism yesterday that people were ready to get back round the table again to thrash this out, to try to reach a deal, but it didnt happen yesterday. The leaders in manchester say that is mainly because a deal on a Hardship Fund to try to support local workers was suddenly taken off the table by government ministers yesterday. There was bad feeling about that. They have also questioned the figures the government has been putting forward asa government has been putting forward as a justification for imposing these measures. We were told that icu beds, intensive care beds in hospitals around Greater Manchester we re hospitals around Greater Manchester were filling up, but the government was concerned particularly about the numbers of older people that were going into hospital suffering with the virus. Well, local leaders have said, actually, capacity is about the same as it normally would be at around this time of year. We are not sure there is as much pressure as the government is making out here. Now they have accepted that restrictions do need to be tightened but things do need to change, the question whether those very high level measures would actually be effective and the real Sticking Point has been the support for workers, whether there is enough money to help those who will be put out of work, at least temporarily, by these tighter restrictions. That is where the real Sticking Point has been and there is bad feeling out and the question about trust and good faith in these negotiations. And if they are imposed by the government, how they will be received by people in manchester. M many questions. Thank you. Were joined now by our Political Correspondent chris mason, who is in westminster. Good morning. We are heading towards this high stakes, high noon, id weigh . Yeah, good morning. What was extraordinary yesterday and will be fascinating to see how it plays out this morning is that yesterday the two sides couldnt even agree on what they had talked about, let alone trying to reach an agreement. There was this whole row about whether or not there had been a discussion about a Hardship Fund for those people who would be put out of work temporarily by the imposition of tier 3 restrictions. Greater manchester say it was talked about between officials in the morning. The government said explicitly publicly last night, no, it wasnt. So, what then happens this morning, the hopeful Greater Manchester is that there will be further talks. That is the hope from the government, as well, because both sides want to get to do a deal. If they can get to a deal that is mutually acceptable to both sides. But the government clearly keen to press ahead with the threat first set out by the Prime Minister on friday that they would be willing, as they are able to, to impose restrictions against the will of Greater Manchesters leaders. They didnt want to do that because they wa nt didnt want to do that because they want High Compliance with the new rules and fear that will not happen if it is pretty obvious to people locally in the city region that its leaders dont think its a particularly good idea. So will a deadline concentrate minds . These things can have that effect, cant they . Six hours to go. Yes, the countdown is on and we will be speaking to, as we said, the mayor of Greater Manchester, who is up the centre of these discussions. Andy burnham will be at 7 30am. In ireland, the whole country will face the highest level of restrictions for the next six weeks. Measures to ban households mixing and to close non essential businesses will come into effect at midnight on wednesday, following a surge in cases over the last fortnight. The Prime Minister, Micheal Martin, said tightening the rules now meant life might be more normal by christmas. Theres a warning from the charity representing carers that many are exhausted and desperate for extra help, after providing more support for their Family Member during the pandemic. Nearly two thirds of those who responded to a survey by carers uk say theyre worried about the prospect of further restrictions over the winter. The government says it recognises the vital role played by unpaid carers. Our social affairs correspondent, alison holt, has more. Let me just stand up. The start of another long day for Elaine Kenyon and her partner, ian gore. He has multiple sclerosis and needs constant support. He used to spend five days a week at a day centre, but the pandemic meant that closed. So now elaine provides most of his care on her own. Like many of the Family Carers in todays survey, theyre worried about how theyll cope as covid restrictions tighten again. Hows your day been, ian . Boring. Why has it been boring . Cos im stuck in this house what do you miss about being at the day centre . All my pals, all my friends. What else do you feel about today . Whats today been like . Its not very good for you, is it . Why . Youre doing everything. I cant do anything. Come and walk in my shoes for a week. Or a day. Just see how it feels. Cos it isnt good. Youre isolated. Youve nobody. You know, i sit and cry some nights, and then i think, why are you doing this . Pick yourself up but its hard to pick yourself up. Nearly 6,000 Family Carers answered online questions from the Charity Carers uk. 81 say theyve had to provide more care since the pandemic, and nearly two thirds say their Mental Health has deteriorated. A similar number say they havent had a breakfor six months. My fear is that carers are teetering on the brink right now. Their physical and mental well being is really struggling. And what you have to remember is that if a carer becomes ill, the health and social care system has to look after two people the person they care for, and the carer. So its really short term not to support carers at the moment. There are 13. 6 Million People caring behind closed doors at the moment and they really need some recognition and some support. For ian, elaine and others, the hope is that more day centres and support services will find ways to reopen safely to provide them with vital support. Alison holt, bbc news. Prince william has been speaking to Business Owners in liverpool who have been affected by the tougher restrictions brought in last week. During the video call, william discussed the challenges faced by the hospitality industry. He got in touch after hearing how businesses have been struggling. Passengers flying to destinations including hong kong and italy will have the option of paying for a rapid covid test at Heathrow Airport. The new facilities in terminals two and five will be available from today, for anyone travelling to places where authorities require proof of a negative test on arrival. The Service Costs £80 and results should be available within 20 minutes. An american spacecraft is about to attempt the arduous task of grabbing samples from an asteroid. Later this evening, the probe called osiris rex will lower itself on to a 500 meter wide space rock and use whats been described as a reverse vacuum cleaner to capture around a kilo of dust and grit. If successful, it would represent the largest extra terrestrial sample taken since apollo astronauts gathered rocks on the moon 50 years ago. Very good look to it just imagining the power of a reverse vacuum. Exactly. 6 12am. Carol is looking at the weather. I believe i heard showers. Good morning. Good morning will stop you certainly did, and as well as that, some will stop you certainly did, and as wellas that, some rain will stop you certainly did, and as well as that, some rain in the hmmfi well as that, some rain in the forecast but one thing you will notice as it is a mild start and it is going to be a mild day, as well. We have rain moving out of england, pushing into the north sea, moving northwards across scotland and here are the showers louise was talking about. Spiralling around an area of low pressure. Into Northern Ireland, getting into southern scotland. One or two getting into central areas. Some of those in the west could be heavy and thundery with temperatures ranging from nine in lerwick to 18 or19 ranging from nine in lerwick to 18 or 19 as we push further south. That is way above average for this time of year. As we head through the evening and overnight, all these showers migrate northwards. We have more coming in across western showers migrate northwards. We have more coming 1 across Western Areas and then cast your eye to what is happening in the south. Some heavy rain coming ourway. Happening in the south. Some heavy rain coming our way. Also looking at gusty winds, notjust rain coming our way. Also looking at gusty winds, not just today but tonight. Especially in the north and through the irish sea. They will ease for a time but then pick up and around this area of low pressure, which is the tail end of storm barbara, so named by the spanish meta service. It will be pushing up across our shores, bringing heavy rain, and there is the potential for some strong winds, possibly even gales across the channel and also parts of the south east. But i stress there are no warnings in force at the moment. So we are looking at some heavy rain coming up across parts of england and wales. The potential for the strong winds move further north. Showery outbreaks of rain across scotland, parts of Northern Ireland. That will fringe in two england and north wales at times. Temperature range, ten in the north to about 17 in the south, but 19 in norwich, so we are hanging on to milder conditions. As we head on into thursday, a ridge of High Pressure builds across us, eisserare High Pressure builds across us, eisser are spaced out. It wont be as windy and we are looking at a dry day with some more sunshine around and say goodbye to the rain, and in the south it will still be quite mild. Looks better tomorrow. Thank you. On thursday, actually. Ishould be watching more carefully. I was, actually, carol take notes. 6 15am fast approaching. Lets take a look at todays papers. Nine million on the edge is the headline on the daily mirror front page, suggesting that is the number of people in england who could have the highest level of restrictions being imposed this week. The telegraph reports that local leaders in Greater Manchester want to see shielding reintroduced for elderly and Vulnerable People instead of further lockdown restrictions. But it adds that the Prime Minister is expected to announce the tier three measures with or without their agreement. The Manchester Evening News examines claims made by both the government and local leaders regarding icu capacity in Greater Manchester hospitals, saying the data is not as clear cut as its being presented. And the daily mail reports on a warning from the duke of cambridge that preventing people from socialising could cause a Mental Health catastrophe. The paper says lockdown had a shocking deadly impact and describes Prince Williams words at a major intervention. We will be speaking to two of those people who are who were on that zoom call. I think youll like this. This is all about movie memorabilia. Of famous jackets, this one was sent back to the future, are going on sale in an auction. For the small price of £50,000, you could have conan the barbarians sword. Im looking for a red sonja i knew you would like that. Lots of Different Things going on sale. Would like that. Lots of Different Things going on salelj would like that. Lots of Different Things going on sale. I think its rather nice. I like stuff like that, but i dont know what i would do with it. Where would you put the helmet from saving private ryan . |j have helmet from saving private ryan . have literally no idea. But collectors like that sort of thing. Elderly care residents have been asked to give their top tips for young people. They have written them ona young people. They have written them on a whiteboard and held them up. This is in a Residential Home in devon. Be yourself, says tony. Always be helpful, merry and bright, says dottie. Think before you ink, says dottie. Think before you ink, says coral. Very important advice a smile goes a long way and never go to bed without apologising for an argument. Have a nice christmas, says tom. Work hard and help others if you can. I like this one. Young people are so much wiser than i was. Margaret says, spend all your money, enjoy yourself while you are young this picture has been released by network rail. This is a bride and groom standing on a crossing across a railway track. Network rail have released this as a warning to people, saying wedding photos or selfies on the track are just plain stupidity. They say a total of over 1000 trespasses took place on the railway tracks. Dangerous. That could cause all sorts of issues. Right, those are some of the stories from the papers this morning. Here is Something Else for you. Mobile phones have become a vital tool in the lives of billions of people around the world. However, as many of us know, getting a signal may occasionally be a problem. But now nasa has ambitious plans to change that somewhere you might not expect. Tim allman explains. It was one of humanitys greatest achievements. Apollo 11, the mission that sent Neil Armstrong and buzz aldrin to the moon. Butjust imagine if that historic moment had gone Something Like this. Thats one small step for man. Phone rings. One giant leap for mankind. Phone rings. A fairly fanciful notion for 1969, but perhaps not here in the 21st century. The Finnish Telecommunications Company Nokia has been asked by nasa to set up a mobile phone network on the moon. In a statement, the companys chief Technology Officer said. Music theme from 2001 a space odyssey. Its all part of the artemis programme, americas attempt to return to our nearest celestial neighbour. Nokia says the system, initially only operating using 4g technology, should be set up by the end of 2022. Then, if all goes to plan, astronauts will arrive two years later, eventually setting up a permanent base. The moon has been a constant presence and a constant mystery, but, barring roaming charges, it may soon be just a phone call away. Tim allman, bbc news. I love the dramatic music and everything. I was feeling the drama theme parks, zoos and museums in england had a bumper year in 2019 thats according to figures out today. But so far 2020 has been a very different story, as domestic and overseas visitor numbers plummet. Nina is ata museum in West Yorkshire for us this morning. Good morning. What have you got for us . Good morning. We are trying to enjoy ourselves as best we can this morning despite the wider bleak picture. Meet my new friend the idea of this is that it shows young people and big people like me how much yourjoints and sockets are working all the time. See you later, mate one of dozens of exhibits here at the eureka museum. Really disappointing picture for attractions across the uk. Last year was a attractions across the uk. Last year wasa bumperyear. Attractions across the uk. Last year was a bumper year. The attractions across the uk. Last year was a bumperyear. The numbers were up was a bumperyear. The numbers were up by was a bumperyear. The numbers were up by 3 and revenue generated was up up by 3 and revenue generated was up by up by 3 and revenue generated was up by 4 . As you were saying, its looking very different for 2020, for obvious reasons. It looks like collective revenue for uk attractions is going to be down by about £45 billion, despite the fact that many of us are not going abroad this year. Lets have a chat with leanne who runs this place. Firstly, what is this fantastic exhibit . You have entered the brain section of our all about me section. This helps children understand the connection of the brain to our five senses and how messaging from the brain makes our different senses kick into action. You are dying to share these experiences with young people. How is the october half term looking . We dont have the number of online bookings we would like to see yet, but experience tells us that will improve. At the moment, we are only open three days a week and we continue to experience a loss. We are hopeful of a positive half term to boost our income. What has happened with cancellations . Cancellations have doubled this past weekend because there is concern for travel for people who have moved into tier 3. Longterm, how critical is the situation . I know you are going to have to use lose some jobs . We have experienced an extended period with reduced income. We need to build our visitor numbers next year to remain sustainable. The government would say there was the furlough scheme and the cultural fund. You are not entitled to that. The furlough scheme has been brilliant but it ends this month and we move into a period where there is not that much Government Support available. The arts rescue package we we re available. The arts rescue package we were not eligible for because we had a higher level of reserves at the time the fund came out and also because we are not viewed as a Cultural Organisation in the same way as museums and galleries and organisations such as that. Frustrating because you fall under the science category so you are not entitled to that funding . Thats pa rt entitled to that funding . Thats part of it. We dont have a collection like some museums do. We have written to government to try to secure a rescue package but so far we have not had any success with that. Just explain the place that this place has in halifax. Its so important for the local economy. Absolutely. We have been a significant part of the local economy for 28 years. 300,000 in a normal year. With the peace hall having opened, people come to visit us and there as well. Best wishes for the october break. Visitor attractions support more than 3 millionjobs. Many attractions support more than 3 million jobs. Many of them are attractions support more than 3 millionjobs. Many of them are in coastal towns, Rural Communities and places that need an injection of funding. That spend matters. People are trying to play by the rules at the moment, wanting to make sure they visit safely. While i am here and while its allowed, i need to have a go unless. Do you remember these . I think its broken what was these . I think its broken what was the game called where you had to do this . Operation. I dont think it was. This . Operation. I dont think it was. I think we have played that on here. Did sally do it with some tennis players . You were annoyingly good at it. I have an excellent memory about me being brilliant at Something Else do you remember that time you lost . No somebody will tell us what it was called. The cbeebies presenter ben was talking about his mixed race heritage, talking about what he has learned from his mum and his dad. I think we can show you some of what was posted yesterday. We have been friends for a long time sol yesterday. We have been friends for a long time so i thought id tell you a bit about me and my family. My mum is called fiona and she was born near coventry and she is white. My dad is called jacob and was born in london and he is black. As you know, my name is benjamin, but pretty much everyone calls me ben. There has been a huge reaction to that online. We will talk to him later about why he decided to do that. He was talking about being bullied at school and some of the issues he has had. He has been open and honest. I think the reaction has surprised him. Ben will be with us later. Good morning, im asad ahmad. A project manager on the Grenfell Tower refurbishment has admitted to the inquiry that she binned notebooks relating to her work after the deadly fire. Claire williams told the inquiry chairman she thought the information was documented elsewhere and not needed. He said it was hard to understand why she had taken it upon herself to do such a thing. This was some of the exchange with sir Martin Moore Bick. I think, if the police didnt take them, i binned them. You binned them . Even though you knew by that time that there was going to be or was, already, on foot a public enquiry. Um. I believe i looked at them and they were notes. Everything that was in there i would have thought is actually documented elsewhere. This photograph last night inspired the World Premiere of music played by britains first mainly black, asian and ethnically diverse orchestra chineke it shows a black demonstrator who came to the aid of a white protestor during anti racism and a counter protest earlier this year on the southbank. The orchestras founder describes patricks actions as a momentous act of humanity on the streets of london. This is patricks reaction. There was a mixture of love and hate. There were people trying to protect him, but there were also people who wanted harm to come to him. And, you know, that resonates really a lot with what happened inside there. I felt it, i really felt it. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. There are no southern or thameslink trains between Three Bridges and Haywards Heath because of over running engineering works. The m25 is closed anticlockwise between junction ten and eight because of a serious accident involving an ambulance overnight. There are diversions in place but very long delays. And vauxhall and hammersmith bridges remain closed. Now the weather with elizabeth. Hello, good morning. It felt pleasantly warm yesterday in all that sunshine and today therell be some more bright and sunny spells and it could feel even warmer still. But its quite wet underfoot to start off the morning. Theres a band of rain just moving its way eastwards. Many of us wont see this at all. Its clearing eastwards as we head through the morning, so some early rain. Behind it, quite a lot of cloud but the cloud will thin and break to give us some bright and some sunny spells for much of the rest of the day. Should stay dry for the rest of the day, theres still quite a brisk southerly wind blowing. Highs today, really quite one for the time of year 18 or 19 degrees celsius. Now, through this evening and overnight, the winds will drop out for a time. Its going to stay mild but turning cloudy, and also turning rather wet into the start of the day tomorrow. This band of rain moving in from the south some of that rain will be rather heavy. And there is the chance that well see some very strong winds into the start of the day tomorrow. So its wet, potentially very windy on wednesday morning. Clearing by the time we get to wednesday afternoon it will be a drier picture by then but still some showers around. On thursday it looks dry with lighter winds. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast with Louise Minchin and dan walker. It is exactly 6 30am. Well bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning. Royal support for businesses in liverpool well catch up with the hospitality workers who received a video call from the duke of cambridge, to find out how theyre coping with the new restrictions.

The Great British bake off winner nadiya hussain tells us about her latest picture book for children, which is about coping with bullying. Good morning, heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. Local leaders in Greater Manchester have been told they must agree a deal on moving into the highest level of coronavirus restrictions local leaders in Greater Manchester have been told they must agree by midday today or risk them being imposed by central government. The two sides have so far failed to reach an agreement after ten days of negotiations. Greater manchester mayor andy burnham says he wont accept new restrictions without greater Financial Support. In ireland, the whole country will face the highest level of restrictions for the next six weeks. Measures to ban households mixing and to close non essential businesses will come into effect at midnight on wednesday, following a surge in cases over the last fortnight. The Prime Minister, Micheal Martin, said tightening the rules now meant life might be more normal by christmas. Passengers flying to destinations including hong kong and italy will have the option of paying for a rapid covid test at Heathrow Airport. The new facilities in terminals 2 and 5 will be available from today, for anyone travelling to places where authorities require proof of a negative test on arrival. The Service Costs £80 and results should be available within 20 minutes. Those are some of the main stories. Lets return to our top one. Manchester mayor andy burnham and City Council Leader sir Richard Leese have been critical of the governments use of what they have described as selective statistics on the availability of icu beds in region. They have less than six hours to come to an agreement with ministers orface having the highest level of restrictions imposed on them. Lets speak now to dr indeewar kapila, who is a manchester based intensive care consultant and chair of the north west Regional Consultants Committee for the British Medical Association. Thank you so much for talking to us. Morning. Trying to get to the bottom of these figures and how the hospitals are coping. Can you tell us how it compares, for example, in icu, to last year right now . So the figures for last year, obviously in a pre covid situation, last october, november, we had roughly about 80 occupancy of intensive care beds. The current figures at the moment are roughly about 78 to 80 occupancy. That is a mixture of disease micro patients and non Covid Patients. We do have capacity on intensive care units. The concern remains that if the infection rates remains that if the infection rates remain at the levels they are, that admission to hospital is an intensive care will continue to rise, and that may start putting pressure on the system at some point fairly soon. Right, so at the moment, it is comparable to where you would be in any normal year. Yes, but its very hard to compare the figures and its very hard to predict what might happen in the next few weeks, next couple of months, leading up to christmas. I think the big difference is that we are now having to contend with the covid pandemic and the usual that we would get during the winter period. Can you also tell us. Thank you so much, its really informative. Could you do a comparison between where you do a comparison between where you were, for example, at the peak of the pandemic, with number of Covid Patients and where you are now . So the difference between the peak of the pandemic and the Current Situation is that during the peak of the pandemic we were getting larger numbers of critically ill patients coming into intensive care units with covid, then we got to the point where we had to expand the intensive ca re where we had to expand the intensive care unit boundaries and care for these patients on other specifically designated areas within the hospitals, which we havent got too at this point. But there is capability to do that, if required, but the big concern is, if we start doing that, it was tight having an impact on other services that we are currently providing. Ok. Just on the Covid Patients, as well, is there a sort of particular age group that is being badly affected at the moment . So the age group that is consistently effected during the first wave was the older age group, the patients who are certainly over the patients who are certainly over the age of 60 with medical problems, pre existing medical problems. And we are seeing a similar situation this time. I think the risk factors remain the same, the. When you look at risk stratification, the groups that are at higher risk, the older age group, patients with medical problems and members of the ethnic communities, the bame group remain at higher risk. That hasnt changed. Lets talk about the discussions that have been going on over the last few days over whether manchester should go into tier 3, when it should going to tear free. Do you think it should, and would that make the difference you need . Should it be going into tier 3 . Just looking at a tier 3 lockdown or a Circuit Breaker can be a bit misleading. I think we have to look at it in the context of preventative measures that are currently in place, and can we improve on them . Certainly the British Medical Association has advocated that we should continue to drive the message that, you know, to use as masks as much as possible, certainly try to make them mandatory in workplaces, in public places. The rule of six thatis in public places. The rule of six that is currently in place, perhaps consider reducing that to the rule of two. The use of higher grade facemasks in the older population, certainly with people who are more vulnerable and with multiple medical problems. And the test and trace system, perhaps there is a way of using that, or improving that to the point where we can, you know, increase our pick up rate of patients with infection. I think that, in combination with the current measures that we have in place, but certainly if we did have a tier 3 lockdown, that may slow down the infection rate. And what we are seeing in other parts of the country, in wales and ireland currently. In wales, the infection rates have been lower, and it might just reduce the rate of infection. We have all been concerned about the r number, the rate at which the virus replicates in people and that is something we have to remain concerned about. Thank you so much. Doctor indeewar kapila. Thank you for your time. If you havejust switched on, a reminder we will be speaking to the mayor of Greater Manchester, andy burnham, it will be here at 7 30am. Here is sally, looking at real concerns for it wasps at the Premiership Rugby final. Really not looking great for them. Big, big problems for wasps. Theyre supposed to be playing in the Premiership Rugby final at twickenham on saturday, but their participation is in doubt after more players tested positive for coronavirus. A total of seven have now returned positive tests theyre all self isolating and wont be available for selection this weekend. The club will do another round of testing today, and a decision on whether theyll be able to play in the final will be made tomorrow. If they cant play the game, then Bristol Bears who lost to wasps in the semi finals will take their place. Theres one more game weve got to go for, potentially, when thats confirmed. So weve started that process just where the boys were just about to open some beers, they were stopped. And now its about flicking the switch and waiting to see whats going to happen wednesday. So all we can control is prepare as best as we can now. And were either going to get the thumbs up, we can enjoy a holiday, or we get into it. A tense wait all around there. Heres a stat that tells you everything you need to know about this high scoring premier league season. There have been 48 games so far, and last night we had the very first goalless draw. West brom and burnley provided us with that record brea ker. There was a goal in the nights other game. This deflected effort from rauljiminez was enough to give wolves a 1 0 win over leeds united at elland road. Adam peaty was in fine form as he helped his London Roar Team win their opening match at the International Swimming league. The olympic champion won the 100 metres breaststroke in budapest having won the 50 and 200m races the day before. Team mate duncan scott won the 200m freestyle event. Now, if you watching bbc brea kfast yesterday, you may have seen our piece with rob burrow as he watched his former side leeds rhinos win rugby leagues challenge cup. Rob is living with Motor Neurone Disease and was a guest of honour for saturdays final at wembley, which he watched from home. There was a happy outcome too for rob as leeds beat the Salford Red Devils 17 16 to win the trophy. Well, despite defeat for salford, not all of their fans were left dejected. Supporter danny gray tweeted this yesterday. We have had many, many messages to the same effect, saying the same sort of thing. And if you want to see the full documentary rob burrow my year with mnd, produced by bbc breakfast and bbc sport, its on the bbc iplayer now. Britain has had its fair share of World Champion boxers over the years anthonyjoshua, ricky hatton and frank bruno. Cruiserweight Isaac Chamberlain has his sights set on joining that elite group of fighters, but his life could have been totally different had he made a different choice when he was just 12 years old. This is his story. At 12 years old it was either a life of crime or a life of boxing. This is where i had to make that decision. I went to this house, the guy gave me, like, a bag and made me put it inside my trousers. It was on a bus going home. I was asking, like, wow, are we cool here . You know, whats in the bag . And he told me it was class a drugs. I got off at the bus stop, police were literally all the way around there. My heart literally stopped. They were stopping and searching everybody. I saw him coming towards me towards us and run through that road there, really through the blocks. That was a lucky escape, seriously that could have changed the whole course of my life. Ive grown up in ashby house in loughborough estate. Ijust call it my home. Its your childhood, youre only going to have one childhood. And to other people, it might have been crazy, but we didnt know any better. You know, we didnt know that there was a better life for us out there. Never really had role models. I had people that i dont want to be like. That was the main motivation for me. My mum put me into the boxing gym when i was about 11, 12 years old because she didnt want me going down, you know, the route of gangs and drugs. My cousin, when he was 15 years old, just passed his gcses, he got stabbed in the heart. And it was a very sad time for the family. You know, she didnt want me going down that road. And obviously, you know, it really, really hurt. I never once thought i was lonely, or. But looking back, its kind of like there was a lot of time i was spending by myself. Boxing gave me a chance to express myself. You know, boxing gives people that dont really have a voice an expression through their fighting and through their training. Im the type of person, i have this mentality where if i love something, im all in on it. I just want to keep working, working, working just to be good at boxing, to be good at something. And they kept telling me that you could be a champion, even though they say that to everyone. But i never heard those words of encouragement from anyone not teachers, not my parents, nobody. So i kept coming back so i could hear those words of encouragement again. 100 , kids are stereotyped here. You wouldnt know how far these kids can go just with a bit of encouragement. Kids love that stuff. You know, they love being told that they re doing amazing, and it motivates them. And thats. I think thats. That little push is what kids need. Please welcome to the ring icy Isaac Chamberlain i was 23 years old when i headlined the o2. I wasnt in control. I was trying, but mentally and physically i wasnt really there. You know, and i learnt so much about myself. I was let down by a lot of people people that were really, really close to me. And, you know, it was very, very heartbreaking at the time, but i had to deal with that. I think life is about, you know, 10 of what happens and 90 of how you deal with it. The last three years have been. It was difficult. I really saw the real dark side of boxing, you know fake promises and fake promoters and promising stuff. Its like a mental prison, it turned me into a different type of monster. You know . It turned me into a different type person because if i can go through that, i can go through anything. He has what he wants now, he has the backing of a top promoter. Life is hard. You know, boxing is easy compared to life. Everything thats happened in my life so far was supposed to happen to take me to where i need to go. Im always doing everything to be 1 better than everybody else. You know, i have to try to be the best athlete that i can be. I never once thought, im going to to give up. Look how far ive come already, you know . I havent had the normal career of a boxer, ive had a crazy career remember that name, Isaac Chamberlain. We will be seeing more of him. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. Low pressure is dominating our weather. There is the centre of it and you can see all the cloud wrapped around it in the satellite picture. That cloud is being bringing rain or showers. The isobars across the irish sea and the far north of scotland are squeezed together, so were looking at pretty windy conditions. Weve seen a lot of rain in Northern Ireland and scotland through the night. 75 millimetres, getting on for three entries, has fallen in tiree since sunday evening. A band of rain moving eastwards across england, which will more or less clear into the north sea in the next couple of hours. Behind it, some skies, still some cloud but also some sunshine. Some of the showers rotating around the low pressure could be heavy and thundery. A lot of dry weather for the Channel Islands in southern england. Some showers dotted through wales. Windy over the irish sea. Heavier showers could be heavy and thundery over scotland, north west england and Northern Ireland. To the north of that, some brighter skies and then back into stronger winds and then back into stronger winds and rain overthe and then back into stronger winds and rain over the far north of scotland. After a mild start, it will stay mild for most of the day. 19 in london. Through the evening and overnight, we continue with the showers and rain across the far north of the country, she was getting into the west, but cast your eyes over what is happening in the English Channel. Pulling in heavy rain over southern and south eastern areas. Still a windy night in prospect. Potentially windy around the southern flank of this. It is an area of low pressure. Storm barbara, named by the spanish weather service, will produce strong wind and rain overspain service, will produce strong wind and rain over spain and southern france. We will get the tail end of that over southern england. There is a chance we could see some very strong winds, potentially gales, but there are no warnings and fought for this at the moment and this forecast could change. It might not be as potent as im telling you at the moment. Further north, we have some sugary outbreaks of rain across the north and west of scotland. Still relatively mild for the time of year. As we head on into thursday, a ridge of High Pressure builds across us, so we see goodbye to the rain and we are looking at a lot of dry weather, some sunshine, bits and pieces of cloud and temperatures are eighth in the north and 15 or 16 in the south. Comprehensive weather, thanks, carol. Visitors to Salisbury Cathedral are being given a rare chance to take a glimpse behind the scenes, as stone masons work to preserve parts of the 800 year old structure. Breakfasts john maguire is at the cathedral for us this morning. Good morning, john. It looks amazing there. Good morning. I can hear the rain thundering down on the roof, listening to the forecast. These are some of the pcc stonemasons can work on. Salisbury is the only yard in britain where the huge stones will come from a quarry and they will be cut by these sores. You can see the way they would have traditionally cut the stones before the mason hand carves them into extraordinary shapes. Its a good illustration of how theyre doing and renovation works here, combining the old and the new. Its spire stretches 123 meters into the heavens, just above 400 feet, making it the tallest in britain. It dominates the city of salisbury and the surrounding countryside. But its only up close that you gain a full appreciation of this building and the people who created it. Were climbing the scaffolding on the among the parapets tour, covid secure, of course, but a chance to see the scale of the task at hand. This is a gablet. And there is a buttress below. Weve introduced new stones here, which you can see. Theres old stones above. This is what this one did look like originally, but obviously all the details gone. So in order to reproduce a new one, the mason has got a lot of scope to introduce their new flowing design. As long as its gothic, Early English gothic, in style and design. Well, this building is 800 years old. The restoration work thats been going on for the past 35 years or so has seen the replacement of around 1 of the stones. So, as you can imagine, theres still quite a lot of work to do. They were built for a smaller workman in those days. Clambering beneath the east end roof into a loft that for centuries was a workshop for the stonemasons, gary shows me how much of the traditional way of working still continues today. Everyjoin there is soldered. So its all lead and we we actually cast our own lead cames on site. So this is what we call a two pin lewis. Its split in half, if you like. And when you put them both together and then you put them in the hole like that. When you lift up the hook, it literally grips and holds the weight of the stone. Easily four or 500 kilos. Wind, rain, frost and pollution have joined forces to attack the cathedrals exterior. But step inside and the stonework looks as if it was created yesterday. Were looking straight down the scissor arches. Perfect symmetry. They look almost like a teardrop. The stone Vaulted Ceilings above which is being painted with reds and blues and greens. Back on terra firma in the stone masons workshop, sarahs carving in the same way as her forebears have for centuries. And like them, modern day artisans create their own incredible detail in the stone. Often their work will be placed hundreds of feet high, near invisible from the ground. But you know its there, its there for history. So, you know, grandchildren or whatever, they always know that their grandmothers done x on the cathedral, even if they need to use binoculars to see it. Theyre always going to know that ive done some work on the cathedral. So, i love that. Traditionally, theyve carved their unique signature, often initials into the stone. Its known as a banker mark, as it ensured that they were paid. They can identify the stones that theyve worked and everything. And its kind of like an age old tradition that goes back to the medieval masons. And speaking of getting paid, the money raised from the tours will go towards the £2 million shortfall caused by covid. But Salisbury Cathedral is among those institutions that have survived even worse. I willjust i will just put i willjust put my facemask on as we come out of the saw shop. The level of craftsmanship is absolutely stunning. There are no laser measurements or spirit level is back in the day, but that is available to the workers today. Good morning, robert. You are the canon treasurer here, responsible for the huge amount of work that goes on here. We talk about painting the forth bridge, but how big a task is this . Its enormous. Each of the last three centuries, theres been a big push to put right some of some pa rt push to put right some of some part of the cathedral that has become eroded or even dangerous over the past eight centuries. So we are not the first to be doing this, but we are determined to do it right this time. The main work at the moment is on the east end of the cathedral. Our victorian forebears appeared to run out of steam by the time they got there. We are keen to finish thejob. Despite time they got there. We are keen to finish the job. Despite covid, time they got there. We are keen to finish thejob. Despite covid, we are keen to achieve that. That has held up some of the work, has it . Are keen to achieve that. That has held up some of the work, has mm has. Our team of masons were unfurlough which we will grateful for. The programme has been put back. One of the things that fascinated me going on my tour was looking at a piece like we are helping commit rain permitting, to get out on the scaffolding a bit later but we will have to wait and see, wont we . Absolutely. That attention to detail is amazing, isnt it . Beautiful. Still to come this morning. We will catch up with care home residentsjust will catch up with care home residents just before atm. Will catch up with care home residentsjust before atm. We have loads more for you. But right now the news and the weather where you are. Good morning, im asad ahmad. Passengers flying from Heathrow Airport to destinations including hong kong and italy will have the option of paying for an £80 covid test from today. The new facilities are in terminals 2 and 5 and are for anyone travelling to places where authorities require proof of a negative test upon arrival. Results should be available within 20 minutes. A project manager on the Grenfell Tower refurbishment has admitted to the inquiry that she binned notebooks relating to her work after the deadly fire. Claire williams told the inquiry chairman she thought the information was documented elsewhere and not needed. This was some of the exchange with sir Martin Moore Bick. I think, if the police didnt take them, i binned them. You binned them . Even though you knew by that time that there was going to be or was, already, on foot a public enquiry. Um. I believe i looked at them and they were notes. Everything that was in there i would have thought is actually documented elsewhere. This photograph of a black demonstrator coming to the aid of a white protestor at an anti racism and counter demonstration on the southbank this year inspired a performance last night of britains first mainly black, asian and ethnically diverse orchestra. Chinekes founder described patricks actions as a momentous act of humanity on the streets of london. Patrick spoke after seeing the performance. There was a mixture of love and hate. There were people trying to protect him, but there were also people who wanted harm to come to him. And, you know, that resonates really a lot with what happened inside there. I felt it, i really felt it. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. There are minor delays on the victoria line. There are no southern or thameslink trains between Three Bridges and Haywards Heath because of over running engineering works. The m25 is closed anticlockwise betweenjunction 10 and 8 because of a serious accident involving an ambulance overnight. There are diversions in place but very long delays. Now the weather with elizabeth. Hello, good morning. It felt pleasantly warm yesterday in all that sunshine and today therell be some more bright and sunny spells and it could feel even warmer still. But its quite wet underfoot to start off the morning. Theres a band of rain just moving its way eastwards. Many of us wont see this at all. Its clearing eastwards as we head through the morning, so some early rain. Behind it, quite a lot of cloud but the cloud will thin and break to give us some bright and some sunny spells for much of the rest of the day. Should stay dry for the rest of the day, theres still quite a brisk southerly wind blowing. Highs today, really quite warm for the time of year 18 or 19 degrees celsius. Now, through this evening and overnight, the winds will drop out for a time. Its going to stay mild but turning cloudy, and also turning rather wet into the start of the day tomorrow. This band of rain moving in from the south some of that rain will be rather heavy. And there is the chance that well see some very strong winds into the start of the day tomorrow. So its wet, potentially very windy on wednesday morning. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with Louise Minchin and dan walker. Our headlines today. A deadline to break the deadlock leaders in Greater Manchester are given till midday to agree a deal which will take the region into the highest level of covid restrictions. If were not able to Reach Agreement, then with deep regret ill have to advise the Prime Minister that were not able to reach an agreement at this time. Yes, after days of discussions, talks have completely broken down. There is a proper stand off here and now the people of Greater Manchester wait to see if restrictions will be imposed by the government. Prince william shows support for businesses forced to close in liverpool with a surprise video call to cafe and bar owners more problems for wasps ahead of the Premiership Rugby final. They may be forced to pull out of the big game at twickenham after more players test positive for coronavirus. Today we are looking at a mile start and a mild day ahead. There will be some rain in the forecast, some sunshine, and also some showers and blustery winds. We have the lot and i will bring it to you in ten minutes. Its tuesday 20th october. Our top story. Local leaders in Greater Manchester have been given a deadline of midday today to agree a deal on moving into the highest level of coronavirus restrictions. After ten days of talks between the regions leaders and the government in westminster, the communities secretary robertjenrick says urgent action is needed. But Greater Manchester mayor andy burnham has said repeatedly that the region wont back a move to tier three without increased Financial Support. Andy moore reports. The government says its been talking to local leaders in manchester for ten days, and its patience has run out. There will be a few hours left this morning to reach a deal, but if that cant be achieved, its expected tier 3 restrictions will be imposed on the city. Late last night, the government said there were more covid 19 patients in Greater Manchester hospitals than in the whole of the southwest and the southeast combined. If were not able to Reach Agreement by noon tomorrow, then, with deep regret, ill have to advise the Prime Minister that were not able to reach an agreement at this time. Earlier, local leaders had issued a statement challenging the governments interpretation of intensive care figures in the city. They said. Manchester is calling for a more generous Hardship Fund, and also challenging the fundamental approach of the government. What we want, apart from anything else, are measures that will deal with the rate of infection. And one of the real problems we face is that what government wants to impose upon us, there is no evidence that its stopping things that cause transmission and no evidence that the course of action theyre proposing to take will stop it. Sir richard believes that measures to protect those who need to shield would work a lot faster than the governments proposals to shut pubs and restaurants. What happens in manchester could prove a blueprint for millions of people in other parts of the country discussions on similar restrictions are planned with leaders in south yorkshire, West Yorkshire, nottinghamshire, north east england, and teesside. Andy moore, bbc news. In a moment, well speak to our Political Correspondent chris mason in westminster, but first lets go to our correspondent dan johnson, who is in manchester. What is the situation . It seems time is running out to find an agreement. Absolutely. Yes. Talks completely broke down yesterday, there is no sign of them resuming, and the threat now is that if there is no agreement in manchester the restrictions will just agreement in manchester the restrictions willjust be imposed by the government and this city, the wider region, will simply have to accept that and get on with it. But how would that go down . How would people respond . How would that go down . How would people respond . It how would that go down . How would people respond . It is certainly not anyones preferred outcome for this because they need public support, they need compliance to make this work. And with local leaders pushing back so hard on a number of issues, not just the level of support that would be available for the workers who would be affected by these restrictions with businesses having to close, but questions now about how this is being presented by the cove na nt, how this is being presented by the covenant, the sorts of figures they have put forward in talking about the pressure on a e and intensive care. Local leaders are saying, well, its not actually as intense as the government is saying, that perhaps occupancy of 80, 80 5 is round about normal for this time of year. Now they have accepted that further restrictions are needed, but they have questioned whether the actual measure is being suggested by the government as part of that tier 3, that very high level, are actually the right ones, if they would be effective in bringing the virus numbers down, and they have said unless they see the evidence of that they are not prepared to put peoples livelihoods at risk. There really is a lot of bad feeling about the way that this has been handled and a big question about what happens next and how it will be received by people in the city. Thank you very much for the latest. Were joined now by our Political Correspondent chris mason who is in westminster. The deadline approaches, it is mid day. Either discussions arranged for today, can there be . Good morning. Ive been on the phone to both sides already this morning. Speaking to those in Greater Manchester, they say that nothing is scheduled at the moment as far as talks with the government this morning are concerned. They are gathering as a team of local leaders shortly, as i understand it. Speaking to the government, they say that their door is always open but they are pretty spiky, they say there is only so long they can wait when local leaders are not prepared to ta ke when local leaders are not prepared to take responsibility for what is going on. This is after a day when the two sides couldnt even agree about what they talked about. There was a meeting yesterday involving officials from both sides, Greater Manchester believe that there was talk then of Additional Support for people who wont be able to work under a tier 3 restrictions. The government publicly denied that that was ever suggested and those in Greater Manchester saying that either they are lying or they dont care, so either they are lying or they dont ca re, so you either they are lying or they dont care, so you get some sense of the acrimony and the anger on both sides, withjust acrimony and the anger on both sides, with just five acrimony and the anger on both sides, withjust five hours acrimony and the anger on both sides, with just five hours to try to come to some arrangement will start with millions of peoples lives effectively suspended at the moment whilst people wait for a decision and lives and livelihoods on the line. Thank you very much. If you are watching yesterday you will remember we spoke to robertjenrick and at 7 30am, in a few minutes, well speak to the mayor of Greater Manchester, andy burnham, to get the latest. From midnight on wednesday, people in the republic of ireland will be subject to the highest level of coronavirus restrictions, similar to those seen during the spring lockdown. The tougher measures are expected to last for six weeks but the Irish Government says it will review them next month. Lets speak to our ireland correspondent, chris page, who is in dublin this morning. Good to have you on the programme, as ever. How has this come down, what has the reaction been to the announcement . For many people in this country this is going to feel very much like a lockdown. Once again they are being told they have to work from home unless it is absolutely impossible. They can exercise only within five kilometres of where they live and they cant go out for a meal or a drink. Pubs and restau ra nts out for a meal or a drink. Pubs and restaurants are going to take away only. Large parts of the economy are closing. There are some exceptions including essential retail, the Construction Industry and most manufacturing. For most families the main difference between what is going to be happening later this week and the lockdown back in the spring is that schools and childcare facilities will be remaining open but there is no doubt there will be a significant economic hit. The Financial Support for the people whose livelihoods will be worst affected is being increased. But at the Cabinet Meeting yesterday ministers were briefed that in this country, with a population of almost 5 million, there could be more than 200,000 job losses. That is an awful lot of redundancies. But there is a view that cases of the virus are much, much too high. Hospitalisations have been rising. The number of deaths fortunately does remain relatively low but in his televised address last night the Prime Minister Micheal Martin said that unless action was taken now, a very grave situation would arise. He held out hope, though, that if people stop together and follow the new restrictions, which are going to be very tough, over the next six weeks, then he hoped the restrictions would be lifted on the 1st of december, giving people the opportunity, he said, to celebrate christmas in a meaningful way. But there is no doubt, and the prime minster himself acknowledged, that people will be feeling of disappointment and fear at the loneliness that could come over the next month and a half. Thank you for that update. Theres a warning from the charity representing carers that many are exhausted and desperate for extra help, after providing more support for their Family Member during the pandemic. Nearly two thirds of those who responded to a survey by carers uk say theyre worried about the prospect of further restrictions over the winter. The government says it recognises the vital role played by unpaid carers. Prince william has been speaking to Business Owners in liverpool who have been affected by the tougher restrictions brought in last week. During the video call, william discussed the challenges faced by the hospitality industry. He got in touch after hearing how businesses have been struggling. We will be speaking to some of those he was talking to. In one hour. I wondered what time it was. I was just looking. In one hour, there you go an american spacecraft is about to attempt the arduous task of grabbing samples from an asteroid. Weve got a little animation to show you how this looks. Later this evening, the probe called osiris rex will lower itself on to a 500 metre wide space rock and use whats been described as a reverse vacuum cleaner to capture around a kilo of dust and grit. If successful, it would be the largest extra terrestrial sample taken since apollo astronauts gathered rocks on the moon 50 years ago. How do you gather something with a reverse vacuum cleaner . How do you gather something with a reverse vacuum cleaner . It would blow it away, wouldnt it . That is exactly, dan, what i was thinking so. Unless you are a reverse blowing it into somewhere that catches it. But surely. Why dont you just get a vacuum . Im sure they got it under control. Im sure they got it under control. Im sure they got it under control. Im sure they have sorted it out. Laughter 7 11am. I certainly dont want a reverse vacuum cleaner. 7 11am. I certainly dont want a reverse vacuum cleaner. Carol has the whether. Can you imagine the dust and mess everywhere . This morning we are looking at a mile start to the day. It will be fairly mild through the day for the time of year. Also windy through the irish sea and across the north of scotland and there is rain in the forecast as well as the sunshine. The rain continuing to push into the north sea, moving away from england, continuing to move northwards across scotland. Here, too, blustery, gusty winds. And then we are looking at a packet of showers coming into Western Areas. Some could be heavy and also thundery and windy through the irish sea. Gusting to gale force at times. A few showers across the central parts of the uk but apart from that, it will be dry and they will be bright or sunny skies with temperatures ranging from nine in lerwick to 19 in london. Through this evening and overnight we carry on with the showers coming in from the west, moving northwards, still some rain across the far north of scotland and still blustery winds. Easing for a time then picking up. You can see this next batch of rain coming in across southern and south eastern areas. It will be a mild night across the board. This batch of rain is what is left of storm barbara, named by the spanish meta service. It will bring heavy rain and very windy conditions across spain and france. We will see the tail end moving across southern and south eastern parts of the uk as we go through tomorrow. There is a chance we will have strong winds through the English Channel and the south east. I will keep you posted on it. Further showers across the north and west. Thank you, carol. We will see you in about half an hour . For a longer forecast, looking ahead. I am looking forward to it already laughter thank you very much. For our next guest, pregnancy meant being unable to eat or drink, being admitted to hospital with severe dehydration and living off anti sickness medication. Charlotte howden suffered from severe morning sickness the same type the duchess of cambridge experienced during her three pregnancies. Charlotte now wants the condition to be taken more seriously and shes made a documentary about it. Lets take a look. No one really believes you, or can fully empathise or comprehend the extremity of it all. Youre made to feel like youre failing or have already failed as a mum. Weak physically, weak spiritually. Just weak. Its super isolating. For me it was ten weeks in a dark room. I was housebound so i couldnt go to work, i couldnt look after my child, and even to go to the doctors was a struggle. And to think that that was going to be my life, potentially for nine months, really was the time when we thought, were not going to able to do this. We just wouldnt want to put our relationship and the rest of our family through that again, which is sad because you often get asked whether you want to have more children and the answers always no. Lets talk about some of those issues. Charlotte howden and consultant obstetric physician dr Catherine Nelson piercy join us now. Thank you both forjoining us. Charlotte, this is something you suffered from severely. But what is this and how many people suffer from it . Good morning. This is the severe end of the spectrum of nausea during pregnancy. A lot of people think that 50 or 60 of women suffer some nausea or vomiting that even the severe nausea or vomiting that even the severe form is normal, but its not. Its completely debilitating. Its a miserable condition which can ruin peoples lives, as demonstrated by your clip. Charlotte, when did you first hear about this condition and what was your own experience of it . Good morning, i didnt get an actual diagnosis of this condition with my pregnancy. I hadnt heard of it before i was pregnant and during my pregnancy. My experience was i was eventually diagnosed with the severe nausea. I was hit with such unrelenting vomiting that i would lose count as to how many times i had been sick that day. I became isolated and bedbound very quickly. Within my own household, anything would be a trigger, smells and sounds. I fell into a dark and would be a trigger, smells and sounds. Ifell into a dark and deep depression. You talk to many people affected by it. It affected them physically and psychologically as well . Very much so. Imagine being isolated in your own home to the extent that my own husband couldnt even talk to me. The ability to eat was taken away. The condition i had was taken away. The condition i had was on the severe end. I was not able to keep water down. I couldnt talk to friends and family or watch tv. Even brushing my own teeth was impossible. Its not too difficult to see why someone would be very affected mentally by those things. Charlotte was not diagnosed. I would imagine that many women find themselves in the same situation and can themselves in the same situation and ca n ofte n themselves in the same situation and can often be dismissed as just morning sickness . Absolutely. Sadly we hear stories like charlottes more often than i would like. Women are dismissed. It will pass, just eat something and it will stay down. They dont realise the degree of complete desperation that these women can feel. As has also been said, women feel like a failure. They are pregnant, they should be happy and blooming, and they feel absolutely at the lowest ebb ever. Doctors and other Health Care Professionals really need to take this condition seriously. It is treatable and women dont need to suffer and it upsets me when i hear these stories. Charlotte, we know these stories. Charlotte, we know the duchess of cambridge suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum as well. Does that at least help with awareness . It does. We are always hoping and wishing she will get pregnant again because we know there will be a big media buzz and hype, but ultimately when that dies down, we are still left as a community with being dismissed by our gps, not being believed and not getting timely access to medication when we desperately need it. To both of you, if someone is watching us this morning and thinking they need help, what would your advice be . Charlotte, we will come to you first. As already said, you will know when something is not normal. Its difficult when youre a first time mum because you dont have a frame of reference to what usual morning sickness should be. If you cant function normally, then you cant function normally, then you need to get help. Reach out to yourgp. If you need to get help. Reach out to your gp. If you feel like you have been dismissed, there is a Wonderful Charity called the pregnancy sickness support charity. They have a helpline and a live chat function. There is a Peer Support Network so they can help you get the help you need. I agree completely with what charlotte has said. There are guidelines issued by the royal couege guidelines issued by the Royal College of and sent gynaecologists to manage this condition. In early pregnancy units have protocols for managing this. We spend a lot of time educating gps. In my experience, theyre getting much better at being willing to prescribe anti sickness drugs. Ask for anti sickness drugs. Ask for anti sickness medication and if that doesnt work or if you are very dehydrated, go to your early pregnancy gynaecology unit and they have protocols for alta venus rehydration and anti sickness drugs. There are lots which are compatible and not dangerous to the foetus. Doctors worry about prescribing drugs in pregnancy, but so Much Research has been done into the safety of the drugs so we are confident they can be given without harming the baby. Women should not be afraid to take treatments and doctors should not be afraid in prescribing them. There is help out there. If at first you dont succeed, speak to the Charity Charlotte mentioned or try a different doctor. You should get help. Thank you to you both for your time. If you have been affected by any of the issues we have talked about, there is advice and support on our action line page. Just go online to bbc. Co. Uk actionline. From today, passengers flying from heathrow to destinations including hong kong and italy will be able to pay for a rapid coronavirus test before they check in at the airport. Our transport correspondent tom burridge is at heathrow this morning. Good morning, tom. Good morning, tom. Good morning, tom. Good morning, guys. Heathrow is incredibly quiet. About 20 of the normal passenger volume. Here is the testing centre. You will come in here before you check in. You will hopefully have booked your test online. It only applies to destinations like hong kong and italy at the moment. You will meet a trained nurse. They will take a swab test. Basically on a cotton pad. The great thing about this type of test is it can be analysed here on location so it can be very quick. You are the chief executive of the Company Behind this initiative. A lot of people are not travelling right now given what has happened with the virus at home and abroad. Why is this important . Screening has a lwa ys why is this important . Screening has always been a fundamental part of the travel journey, it always been a fundamental part of the traveljourney, it has been since the 1970s. Security screening and now we have medical screening. We are ensuring planes are safe when you land on your destination you are not transmitting the virus across borders. This makes travel safe again. You really need International Travel to kick start again. How long can yourairline go travel to kick start again. How long can your airline go on if International Travel remains suppressed . You are right. This is urgent. The industry is making an urgent. The industry is making an urgent call to the government to ensure the task force for Global Travel comes with an implementable outcome next month which allows the industry to work with us to implement testing as an alternative to the uk quarantine. Crucially, 500,000 jobs depend on aviation here in the uk. Many of those jobs have already been lost. We need action now. Testing can safely return us to the skies and protect Public Health here in the uk. David, this test you are offering is only accepted by certain countries. Broadly speaking, is the pcr tests slightly better . Why do you think this is going to make a massive difference right now . The benefit of this is this is an operable scenario. People are looking for tests, for solutions that they can travel. Pcr is a 24 hour minimum, sometimes 48 hours. What we have here is an instant solution. You come through, take your test and get your result within the hour. Thats whats important. People understand that. Come to the airport, screen and get on board. We are confident this will get people travelling again. Half term is coming up, people want to get away. There is a lot of frustration and i think this will help the airlines get back on their feet and get country moving again. The government has said that by december it will bring in testing for people arriving into the uk as a way of reducing quarantine from two weeks to one week. They are in talks with the Us Government to look at another scheme where people could be tested regularly to try to get rid of quarantine altogether. Is december good enough for you . We need urgent action. A reduction of the quarantine would help it really testing should enable us to safely open the skies and allow people to come into the uk and to travel for tourism and trade safely. We need action now. You are right. There could be original corridor for transatlantic business. New york and london could unlock. We need action now. Thank you for welcome us in your new testing facility at heathrow terminal five. So this is for italy and hong kong at the moment. It costs £80, you book online a couple of days before you come to the airport. You need to turn up to the airport an hour extra. You come here first, then go to check in and security. Tom, thank you very much indeed. That was fascinating. We will speak to andy burnham in the next half an hour. The deadline has been set for midday today for talks with the government. How they will reach a compromise about the restrictions Greater Manchester will be under. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im asad ahmad. Passengers flying from Heathrow Airport will have the option of paying £80 for a covid test from this morning. The facility at terminals two and five are for anyone travelling to places where authorities require proof of a negative test upon arrival. Results will be available within 20 minutes. A project manager on the Grenfell Tower refurbishment has admitted to the inquiry that she binned notebooks relating to her work after the deadly fire. Claire williams told the inquiry chairman she thought the information was documented elsewhere, which sir Martin Moore Bick found hard to understand. I think, if the police didnt take them, i binned them. You binned them . Even though you knew by that time that there was going to be or was, already, on foot a public enquiry. Um. I believe i looked at them and they were notes. Everything that was in there i would have thought is actually documented elsewhere. This photograph of a black demonstrator coming to the aid of a white protestor at an anti racism and counter demonstration on the southbank this year inspired a performance last night of britains first mainly black, asian and ethnically diverse orchestra. Chinekes founder described patricks actions as a momentous act of humanity on the streets of london. Patrick spoke after seeing the performance of remnants. There was a mixture of love and hate. There were people trying to protect him, but there were also people who wanted harm to come to him. And, you know, that resonates really a lot with what happened inside there. I felt it, i really felt it. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. There are minor delays on the victoria line because of a signal failure. There are no southern or thameslink trains between Three Bridges and Haywards Heath because of over running engineering works. The m25 is closed anticlockwise between junction ten and eight because of a serious accident involving an ambulance overnight. There are diversions in place but very long delays. Now the weather with elizabeth. Hello, good morning. It felt pleasantly warm yesterday in all that sunshine and today therell be some more bright and sunny spells and it could feel even warmer still. But its quite wet underfoot to start off the morning. Theres a band of rain just moving its way eastwards. Many of us wont see this at all. Its clearing eastwards as we head through the morning, so some early rain. Behind it, quite a lot of cloud but the cloud will thin and break to give us some bright and some sunny spells for much of the rest of the day. Should stay dry for the rest of the day, theres still quite a brisk southerly wind blowing. Highs today, really quite warm for the time of year 18 or 19 degrees celsius. Now, through this evening and overnight, the winds will drop out for a time. Its going to stay mild but turning cloudy, and also turning rather wet into the start of the day tomorrow. This band of rain moving in from the south some of that rain will be rather heavy. And there is the chance that well see some very strong winds into the start of the day tomorrow. So its wet, potentially very windy on wednesday morning. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. Hello, this is breakfast with Louise Minchin and dan walker. Lets get you up to date with the latest news. Local leaders in Greater Manchester have been told they must agree a deal on moving into the highest level of coronavirus restrictions by midday today, or risk them being imposed by central government. The two sides have so far failed to reach an agreement after ten days of negotiations. Greater manchester mayor andy burnham says he wont accept new restrictions without increased Financial Support. In ireland, the whole country will face the highest level of restrictions for the next six weeks. Measures to ban households mixing and to close non essential businesses will come into effect at midnight on wednesday, following a surge in cases over the last fortnight. The Prime Minister, Micheal Martin, said tightening the rules now meant life might be more normal by christmas. Theres a warning from the charity representing carers that many are exhausted and desperate for extra help, after providing more support for their Family Member during the pandemic. Nearly two thirds of those who responded to a survey by carers uk say theyre worried about the prospect of further restrictions over the winter. The government says it recognises the vital role played by unpaid carers. Sally has got a sport bulletin which is dominated by people testing positive for a coronavirus. Dropping like flies, unfortunately. Good morning.

A total of seven have now returned positive tests theyre all self isolating and wont be available to play exeter at twickenham this weekend. The club will do another round of testing today. If they cant play the game, then Bristol Bears who lost to wasps in the semi finals will take their place. Theres one more game weve got to go for, potentially, when thats confirmed. So weve started that process just where the boys were just about to open some beers, they were stopped. And now its about flicking the switch and waiting to see whats going to happen wednesday. So all we can control is prepare as best as we can now. And were either going to get the thumbs up, we can enjoy a holiday, or we get into it. West brom and burnley broke this seasons premier league scoring run. They drew 0 0 thats the first goalless draw of the season. There was a goal in the nights other game. This deflected effort from rauljiminez was enough to give wolves a 1 0 win over leeds united at elland road. The Champions League is back. Manchester united and chelsea play in the group stages tonight. United are away to Paris Saint Germain scene of one of their best european wins in recent years. Having lost the first leg to psg in 2019, an injury time penalty from Marcus Rashford completed a miraculous comeback to send them through to the quarter finals. But boss ole gunner solskjaer says that win wont influence tonights game. Were a Different Team, they are a Different Team and its a different stage of the competition. Its. Of course, with. Also without funds, its going to be a different game because i thought last game when we got the first goal early on, that impacted the crowd. So its a whole complete new situation. Kyle edmunds awful run continues. The british number two has lost in the first round for a third tournament in a row. His latest disappointment came at the atp indoor event in cologne. Now, if you were watching bbc brea kfast yesterday, you may have seen our piece with rob burrow as he watched his former side leeds rhinos win rugby leagues challenge cup. Rob is living with Motor Neurone Disease and was a guest of honour for saturdays final at wembley, which he watched from home. There was a happy outcome too for rob as leeds beat the Salford Red Devils 17 16 to win the trophy. It was close but they did it. Well, despite defeat for salford, not all of their fans were left dejected. Supporter danny gray tweeted this yesterday. And if you want to see the full documentary rob burrow my year with mnd, produced by bbc breakfast and bbc sport, its on the bbc iplayer now. Thats all your sport. Shows you sport transcend things. Thank you. Lovely message, sally, thank you. Theres a midday ultimatum for local leaders in Greater Manchester, who must come to an agreement with the government over tougher coronavirus restrictions, or the Prime Minister may have to impose them. Ministers say they are concerned about rising levels of coronavirus, but the regions leaders say they wont agree to the highest level of restrictions without more financial help. Lets speak to the mayor of Greater Manchester, andy burnham. Good morning, good to speak to you. And you, good morning. Can you give us an idea of where we are at the moment . We understand talks with the government ended abruptly, there has been a statement from the government. How bad our relations at the moment . Well, they did and fairly abruptly. There had been a suggestion yesterday of a Hardship Fund which we were very positive about so we went into the meeting thinking a resolution looked possible but that seemed to be withdrawn in the course of the meeting, so they did end abruptly. Late last night we got, i guess, what you can only call an ultimatum. A fairly provocative ultimatum. It is difficult but i am determined to try and respond positively and constructively. I think its just important to remind your viewers about who this is about. This is about who this is about. This is about people who work in pubs, people who work in bookies, people who drive taxis. These are the people that westminster politicians traditionally ignored but we want to do that because these are the people who will face certain time if a tier 3 lockdown proceeds. What we are saying to the government is youve got to help us to help our people and businesses through this. The letter they delivered last week talks of potential Additional Support but it is odd to be sending an ultimatum when they havent given usa an ultimatum when they havent given us a figure on what that might be. We will write back to them this morning to see if we can now conclude a deal around this support, as long as it has the flexibility to support the people and businesses who we think well need to be supported through this. Can i ask you about the figures . It is rumoured that there is the offer of £22 million, and obviously that is a bit lower than what the merseyside region were given, which was about £44 million. Do you need that to be matched, are you looking for more . Well, the issue has always been, will we have enough support for people in the way they think they will need to be supported. It is very, very difficult for people on the lowest pay to live on two thirds of their wages. You know, they cannot pay two thirds of their bills or two thirds of their rent. Beyond that there are people who are self employed you will need support and there are businesses that are really close to collapse. I really need to remind people that Greater Manchester has been in three months of restrictions already, and that makes us different from the liverpool city region. And lancashire. Lancashire has had parts of the area in those restrictions. The whole of Greater Manchester has beenin the whole of Greater Manchester has been in restrictions since latejuly and of course that has ground people down and pushed our businesses closer to the brink and that is why we are saying we need a fair package of support to help people through this. I have to say, its notjust about Greater Manchester and getting what we can for ourselves, this is everybodys fight ultimately because i will predict that all areas will end up in a tier 3 at some point during the winter. What we need is a fairfinancial during the winter. What we need is a fair Financial Framework for tier 3 so that any area going into that knows exactly where they stand. People know what support they will get, businesses know what they can budget on to try and survive. But there have been ten days of talks already sell, you know, it seems, i suppose, to many viewing from the outside, that there may not be a compromise in the next 4. 5 hours. If the government come back to you today and say, right, thats it, end of negotiations, you are going into tier 3, what is your response . Will you have to go along with that . Of course, we are law abiding people. And we cant ignore the law of the land or, indeed, the government, it is their prerogative to do what they think is needed. But i would say to them that i dont think it will help us bring people with what they want to do to control this virus and i think it will be better to come to an agreement and we are trying to come to an agreement with them. I think the other points just to mention, though, is that there is a flaw here at the heart of what they are trying to do. The chief medical officer, the chief scientific adviser, others, have said tier 3 will only work if it is a very expansive tier 3. Ie you close lots of things. The problem is, the government are not funding local areas close lots of things and in my view it is unlikely that a tier 3 will have the effect that the committee same. In many ways theyre asking places to take great pain but any guarantee of results. I think thatis any guarantee of results. I think that is a real flaw at the heart of what the government is trying to do. You have spoken this morning about those people who are trying to protect, but i suppose from the Government Point of view, couldnt they say that those people you are trying to protect, some of those are at risk, and others, as well, from coronavirus . From their point of view, they are talking about that risk, the health side of things, and you are looking at the economic side. Is that the nub of the issue, and what is the relevance of their argument there . I think its all about health, is what i would say. We are all wanting to protect peoples health, but what i would say to the government is, health is about more than controlling the virus. If we leave people in a tier 3 lockdown that could go on through the winter, where people cannot go to their normal place of work, i think we could end up with a Mental Health crisis on top of a pandemic, because the people that i mentioned at the start of this interview will face a certain harm from this. Because in tier 3, its the workplaces of the lowest paid that are closed down. And i think that point is somehow being missed. You know, if you are on a middle income it is possible to live on two thirds of your salary. If you are on the very lowest income i dont think it is possible for people to do that. So that is why this issue that we are raising, we believe, is so important. Im coming on today to say i still want to work to try and get a resolution, but ijust hope your viewers will understand that this is not about politics. I have support of conservative mps here from right what im saying. It is not posturing. Politics is about representation, speaking of the people who might otherwise be harmed by something that is about to happen. That is what we are doing. I am using my voice in that way and speaking to people who are too often neglected by westminster. You talk about things that potentially might happen, and what might happen is you may be forced to go into those tier 3 restrictions. Do you think that the stance that you have taken and the stance that you have taken and the fact. I know from your perspective you are protecting people in Greater Manchester, but the stance you have taken with regards to not going into that third tier, as the governor and want you to do, do you think that might then encourage people not to follow those restrictions, where you to move from tier 2 to tier 3 . As the government wants you to do. We would ask people to obey the law, we are clear about that. The leader of Manchester City council said exactly the same thing last night. I would just ask people to bear in mind the position that we are in. As i say, we have been in restrictions for a long time already and i have a responsibility here to protect people from further restrictions because that is what is being talked about being imposed upon us, and i cannotjust, about being imposed upon us, and i cannot just, you know, about being imposed upon us, and i cannotjust, you know, accept more and more restrictions without recognising that that causes health harm ina recognising that that causes health harm in a different way. So of course we would say to people, you know, you have to come in the end, obey the law of the land. Of course we will always say that. But i do worry that if the government is going to go down this route of imposing these punishing lockdown is on local areas, i think it will lose the public support that it will need to try to help us all as a country rise to the fight against this pandemic this winter. Just one other question, if i could come of this morning. In regards to the side of negotiations, outside of the big issue of whether you are in tier 2 or tier 3, issue of whether you are in tier 2 ortier3, are issue of whether you are in tier 2 or tier 3, are you still pushing for things like gyms to be open if you we re things like gyms to be open if you were to move into tier 3, four play centres and things like that . Either was part of these negotiations at the moment . Yes, yes, they are. And thatis the moment . Yes, yes, they are. And that is all part of the discussion. I think there is some confusion out about gyms. This is the problem. Tier 3 was meant to bring a degree of standardisation across areas and we have seen a gyms closed in liverpool but allowed to remain open in lancashire and i know my colleague Steve Rotherham is raising concerns with the government about that. This is the question, isnt it, about health . Gyms are really important in improving peoples physical health and also their Mental Health, even more. We will certainly be having those discussions with government. As well. All of this needs to be done really carefully because its going to affect peoples lives, and bear in mind people have had a really tough year already, and we dont think its been wrong to say to the government, to stand up and say, look, if you are going to do this, please think about all the impact this will have on people, and we will do that right up to 12 noon, dan. We will do it positively, constructively, but confidently, speaking for the people who we feel we need to represent in this discussion. Ok, and we will follow it closely. Andy burnham, thank you. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. It looks sort of changeable . Good description. We could have gusts up to gale force over scotland. The rain is pushing into the north sea, leaving some sunny skies, showers at times and the rain continues to move over scotland. The irish sea. A good pa ct of over scotland. The irish sea. A good pact of showers across Northern Ireland, parts of north west england, also southern and central scotland. Some of those could not just be heavy but also thundery. Temperatures range from nine to 19 degrees. Fairly mild for most of us. Through the evening and overnight, we hang on the rain over northern scotland. This next band of rain moves across the Channel Islands and across southern and south eastern parts of england. Temperatures not falling away too much. This is the area of low pressure named by the spanish weather service, storm barbara. Heavy rain over spain and france, clipping is as it moves north eastwards. Potentially some rain and strong winds over the English Channel in the south east. Ahead of it, some showers. In between, some sunshine and still relatively mild. To you. We will keep an eye on storm barbara. Thanks, carol. Cbeebies presenter ben cajee has been praised for a moving clip in which he discusses being mixed race. The 32 year old opened up about his heritage for black history month. In the segment, which has been viewed over one million times, he also emphasised the importance of being kind to one another. Lets take a look. Weve been friends for a really, really long time, so i thought id tell you a little bit about me and my family. My mum is called fiona and she was born near coventry and she is white. My dad is called jacob. He was born in london and he is black. Now, as you know, my name is benjamin, but pretty much everyone calls me ben. I was born in ipswich and im mixed race, and im really, really proud of that. Now, there are loads of things i get from my dad, like supporting west ham united football club, my dark and curly hair when it gets longer and a really bendy toe. And there are other things that i get from my mum, like my love of music, the fact im always on time and something you might know, my smile. Sometimes people have been unkind about what i look like and the color of my skin, but i try and forget about those people and instead focus on the people who were there for me and who supported me. Theyjust liked me for being me and they were my friends. And i think at the moment its really important to be kind. Because, you never know, you mightjust make someones day. Thank you so much for being my friend, and ill see you soon. In fact, you can see him right now. Then, thank you so much forjoining us. This is really heartfelt and personal. Why did you want to put that out there . I just think the very ethos of cbeebies is about eve ryo ne very ethos of cbeebies is about everyone being welcome. We want to promote and provide content for all of our audience and make sure that thats relevant to everyone and that we serve our audience in the best way possible. We did a link earlier in the summer about equality and that ethos and the team have been very conscious to make sure we have lots of fun stuff, whether its me dressing up like a lobster and doing a rap about pancakes, or educational things like literacy, numeracy, geography and in this case a bit about race and kindness. And why thats so important. Were you surprised by the response . The number of people have watched it. Understandably, people shout about anything these days, but overwhelmingly its been positive. tweeted something at the weekend that had 140 likes and this has had tens of thousands. Im staying with my parents just now. My mum has put some nice flowers out. Collaboratively, we have been doing loads of brilliant content. This is just one of the links. It is one minute long. I think we provide 150 hours worth of content every year. Birthday cards, dressing up as ridiculous animals and trying to educate and entertain our audience. I wrote this a few weeks ago and recorded it last friday. One of my producer sent me the link on friday andi producer sent me the link on friday and i showed it to my parents on sunday night. I said, i think i want to twea k sunday night. I said, i think i want to tweak that. Are you ok with me doing that . They said, of course. I tweeted it yesterday morning. My phone was on flames. The overwhelming response has been incredibly positive. There are things that are pretty vile, but thats exactly why this kind of messaging is so important. I am 33 yea rs of messaging is so important. I am 33 years of age. I hope that when these children get to my age and have children, they dont need to deal with this kind of nonsense. When i was in primary school, it was horrific. It was nowhere near as bad as the racism my parents received as as the racism my parents received as a mixed couple in the 1970s and 19805. If a mixed couple in the 19705 and 19805. If i can do anything to use my platform to make a difference, then i think thats important. The other presenters, people like nigel and joanna, all the team in the office, we want to do that because our audience is so important to us. I love that your mum put flowers out. I guess they are pretty proud right now . I hope so. Im proud of them. I dont want to cry on tv. Sorry. Im really proud of them. Im proud of my sister as well and the people who have been there for me and supported me. Sorry, i didnt a nswer me and supported me. Sorry, i didnt answer that. This is your mum there . Can she give you a hug . Afterwards. Its lovely to see the responses from grown ups but more importantly its the young people who have watched this and will learn from what youve said. Thats the powerful message you can put out for the next generation. Thank you. There is such a disconnect. There is a massive disconnect with the audience. A lot of our stuff is pre recorded so sometimes it may be two or three weeks before it goes out and you dont see that reaction. For me, thats one of the best things. I had my birthday card read out by Philippa Forrester when i was five years old. She is my favourite presenter. Its amazing we can touch young people and their families presenter. Its amazing we can touch young people and theirfamilies in so many different ways. Like i say, if this can make a difference, open up if this can make a difference, open upa if this can make a difference, open up a discussion or allow a family to have a discussion about race and equality in all forms, then my opinion is that that is a good and positive thing. Then, its lovely to speak to you. Thank you very much for talking to us this morning. Say thank you to your mum for the flowers Philippa Forrester was great. Sarah greene and peter duncan we re great. Sarah greene and peter duncan were my favourites.

Good morning, a mild dayi good morning, a mild day i today, following on from a mild start, but rain in the forecast, some showers, also some sunshine and gusty winds. I will have the lot in ten minutes. Its tuesday 20th october, our top story. Local leaders in Greater Manchester have until midday to agree a deal with the government on moving into the highest level of coronavirus restrictions. Last night, following ten days of talks, the communities secretary, robertjenrick, set an ultimatum that restrictions could be imposed on the region if a concensus is not reached in the next four hours. In the last half an hour, manchester mayor andy burnham told bbc breakfast hes committed to negotiating a fair financial package of support for residents and businesses. Late last night we got, i guess, what you could only call an ultimatum, a fairly provocative ultimatum delivered via the media. So its difficult, but i determined to try and respond positively and constructively. I think its just important, dan, if i could just remind your viewers what this is about, in fact, who this is about. This is about people who work in pubs, people who work in bookies, people who drive taxis, these are the people that westminster politicians traditionallyjust ignore, but we are not going to do that, because these are the people who will face certain harm if a tier 3 lockdown proceeds. In a moment, well speak to our Political Correspondent chris mason in westminster, but first lets go to our correspondent dan johnson who is in manchester. Dan, you know, the clock is ticking on this, isnt it . Not long to go. Morning. No, and its been taking for quite some time now, these discussions have been going on for ten days, we keep saying that negotiations are perhaps getting closer to a deal, but yesterday that com pletely closer to a deal, but yesterday that completely broke down, and the discussions ended with no agreement. There was a blistering Statement Givenjust at there was a blistering Statement Given just at the end of yesterday by the local leaders here in manchester, questioning the governments approach, questioning the statistics that were being given in support of these measures, saying that perhaps the governments figures about the intensive Care Capacity in manchester filling up we re capacity in manchester filling up were not quite accurate, that perhaps capacity was not any higher thanit perhaps capacity was not any higher than it normally would be at this time of year, so a lot of bad feeling. And late last night that ultimatum from the communities secretary, which has only angered andy burnham, the regions mayor, even more. It is hard to underestimate the bitterness between the politicians discussing this, and people just want to know what is happening. They were already calling out for clarity about what the rules would be, but the local leaders have questioned whether the tier 3 restrictions the government is now seeking to impose, potentially, where even going to be effective in bringing down the virus. They want to see evidence of that, more support for workers affected by restrictions, so now we see what the local leaders here in manchester can agree between themselves and are meeting this morning, and whether they are able to put it back to the government and come to before this midday deadline. Dan, thank you. Were joined now by our Political Correspondent chris mason, who is in westminster. Are they going to be able to find any Common Ground . It looks a tall order, dan, because by the end of yesterday they couldnt even agree on what they talked about around the table, so there has been a real breakdown of trust, they are lobbing statistics at one another with increasing irritability. Here is what we do know will happen. At nine oclock, the Greater Manchester leaders will get together. At that meeting, they are going to agree amongst themselves on a figure that they would accept from government for Additional Support for workers who are not able to work when tier 3 restrictions are imposed. They will then put that figure to the government and see if it is accepted. Now, andy burnham wont say publicly this morning what that figure would be, but there is a real demand from Greater Manchester that there is an acknowledgement that the region has been living under pretty tight restrictions for months already, unlike much of the rest of england, and that should be acknowledged in the Financial Support that is offered. The argument that andy burnham is making, dan, is that this isntjust a row that matters to people in Greater Manchester. His argument is, as we head through the autumn into winter, vast swathes of england are likely to find themselves under the tier 3 restrictions, and therefore what he is able to negotiate for his city region that have repercussions for plenty of the rest of us as the winter progresses. So yeah, four hours to go, still no agreement, but there will be a further meeting, nothing yet scheduled, the government says its door is always open. Ok, we will keep a very close eye on it for the rest of the morning. Thank you, chris. In ireland, the whole country will face the highest level of restrictions for the next six weeks. Measures to ban households mixing and to close non essential businesses will come into effect at midnight on wednesday, following a surge in cases over the last fortnight. The Prime Minister, Micheal Martin, said tightening the rules now meant life might be more normal by christmas. Theres a warning from the charity representing carers that many are exhausted and desperate for extra help, after providing more support for their Family Members during the pandemic. Nearly two thirds of those who responded to a survey by carers uk say theyre worried about the prospect of further restrictions over the winter. The government says it recognises the vital role played by unpaid carers. We have got some lovely pictures about murmuration for you. I love a murmuration its thousands of knot birds feeding and flying to create swirling clouds on the norfolk coast. Theyve reached record numbers this year. For the first time, about 140,000 have been seen on the rspb reserve at snettisham. There is Something Wonderful about a murmuration. A mesmerising murmuration i am tying myself in knots now they are 25 centimetres long, they undertake one of the longest migrations from the arctic breeding grounds to the council is to raise of europe, africa and australia. That has been copied and pasted from wikipedia, it sounds good, though they are called knot birds. I am sure carol was fascinated a mild start today will lead into an unseasonably mild day. Pretty windy across the irish sea, and also the north of scotland, and there is rain for some. You can see on the satellite picture, a great big cloud, rain bearing clouds, all circulating around an area of low pressure, and already we are starting to lose that rain from eastern england. The wind is coming from a southerly direction, so we have yellow and amber on the charts, indicating it is going to be mild not just today but tonight and tomorrow. Excuse me. So we say goodbye to the rain in eastern england, the rain in scotland migrates northwards, there will be some sunshine, some hazy, then all the showers rotating around that area of low pressure, some heavy and potentially thundery across Northern Ireland, central and southern scotla nd ireland, central and southern scotland and north west england. 819 , the scotland and north west england. 8 19 , the average in london for this time of year is 15 16. The wind will ease for a time and pick up later, then we were watching this next area of rain across southern england and into the south east, as well as the Channel Islands. It will bea mild well as the Channel Islands. It will be a mild night, temperatures falling to 8 14. So tomorrow, here we have got this rain moving northeastwards, there is a chance that on its southern flank through the English Channel and the south east, we could have very strong gusts of wind, the remnants of a storm named by the Spanish Meteorological Service as storm barbara. In between the showers, something drier and brighter. We will watch out for that. Carol will watch out for all of us a two week firebreak lockdown designed to contain the latest spike in coronavirus cases will be introduced across wales from 6pm this friday. It will take wales back to the restrictions first introduced in march, with most businesses closing and people being told to stay at home and work from home where possible. Our correspondent tomos morgan reports. From one form of lockdown to another as local becomes national once again. From friday, wales will be back under the strict stay at home measures last seen in march. For 42 years, castle welsh crafts has been open in the heart of cardiffs high street. With the general lockdown, on the whole, having talked about it, i think its a good idea, im glad of the firmness of Mark Drakeford that hes said, right, this is it, its got to stop. But with rent at £8,000 a month, these last few months have severely affected business, with three members of staff having been made redundant. Our takings in the last few weeks has been down to about only 90 of what they should be, 95 . So its really affected us enormously. So as well as shops, bars, restaurants and gyms closing, there will also be a ban on households mixing indoors and outdoors anywhere in wales for the next two weeks. Bonfire night and halloween have also been cancelled this year. The Welsh Government has said that there will be £5000 available for businesses from a pot of £300 million, but fionas shop wont be able to receive that money as they are too large. A row is brewing between cardiff and westminster over the new uk government scheme that will cover 67 of the wages of workers at firms forced to close. Thats due to start november 1st, but it wont be brought forward to cover the start of the welsh lockdown. I just feel a bit tired of the situation, to be honest. Ideally, this wouldnt be happening. It feels a bit unfair. Theres been very little cases as coronavirus throughout beauty businesses, so for us to close, it doesnt really make any sense for us. First minister Mark Drakeford has said that without action, the nhs in wales would not be able to keep up with the increasing numbers needing care due to coronavirus. I think its a good idea. Im pleased that we are getting stuff under control again. Obviously its going to be a pain, and its going to make life difficult, but i think its worth it. As a uni student its kind of affecting us with lectures and seminars a little bit, but its not affecting us too much, we are kind of isolating and keeping to ourselves. The main, like, issue again is, like, being at home with a little one and not having the support of our, like, group bubbles that we were able to have before. We havent gone to a restaurant, we havent had anybody at home, so thats going to be no different to us, im afraid. Primary schools will reopen after the first week, along with years seven and eight of high school, with the rest of the older children joining them after the end of the firebreak. Hospitality has been hit hard during this pandemic, but this National Approach is one supported more so by the industry than the local measures which meant that businesses remained open, although there was a ban on people entering and leaving local lockdown areas. I think youre going to see a lot of businesses start to fold. I think at the moment everyones sort of like hanging on for as long as they can. I think a continuation of localised lockdowns will basically kill off a lot of hope that businesses have, and i think at that point a lot of them will sort of. Theyll try and see the best way out of, you know, losing their business. I think that is quite likely, to be honest. Its pretty. Its pretty unsustainable. The first minister has said there could be a new national set of rules following the firebreaker, and if this short lockdown fails to mitigate the spread of the virus, for how long could wales be under stringent measures, heading into winter . Tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. The welsh first minister, Mark Drakeford, joins us now. Thank you forjoining us. First question, can you guarantee this will be a time limited firebreak, as it is called . Will be a time limited firebreak, as it is called . Yes, this firebreak is designed to begin on october 23 and end on november nine, that is what it will do. We will not see the results of the lockdown by the 9th of november because it takes longer than that for these measures to feed into falls in hospital admissions and so on, but the period is designed deliberately to be shorter but very sharp, that is what we will do. You make the point that you will not know the impact of awesome time, but how will you judge if it has been successful or not you will not know the impact for some time. There will be tests we can use, we will look to see whether the number of cases of coronavirus across wales, which we report everyday, begins to fall, if that leads to a reduction in hospital admissions for coronavirus, if the positivity rate, the number of people tested who turn out to have the disease, begins to full, and there are further metrics as well. We have a series of things we will test to see the impact of this fortnight of significant closure of peoples personal and business lives in wales in order to make sure that we are able to move into the rest of the autumn and winter ina into the rest of the autumn and winter in a position where our nhs is not threatened with being overwhelmed. You make the point about infection rates and you know very well they are quite different in different part, to hedge and 66 people per 100,000 in cardiff, but just under 25 in ceredigion. What is your reaction his your reaction to people who say it is not fair for everybody to be under the same restrictions . The gap between the low incidence and high incidence areas in wales has been narrowing over the last ten days and we have had to put more areas into local lockdown, so i am afraid if we do not take action it is only a matter of time before even karadzic ian feels the impact of the rising tide. In places like pembrokeshire, they are rural areas, hospitals are small, even a modest rise in coronavirus cases in those parts of wales will put the Health Service under significant pressure. The other parts of wales have worked very ha rd to other parts of wales have worked very hard to help protect the parts where the virus has continued to be suppressed, and this is the moment when we need a Genuine National effort, all areas of wales, all citizens of wales, as part of one Great National endeavour. We know of course at the firebreak will have a big impact on workers, particularly who cant access the newjob support scheme which does not start until november. How will you support those businesses . We are finding £294 million in the Welsh Government budget that we will use to put money directly into the hands of businesses affected by the firebreak period. As far as money for wages is concerned, what the chancellor says in his letter to me is that in the first part of our firebreak, businesses will be able to apply to the existing furlough scheme which does not run out until the 30th of october. It is not that they will be with nothing, the problem is businesses will need to apply for one set of measures in the first week and a different set of schemes in the second week. I had asked the chancellor to bring forward thejfs scheme to the 23rd of october to bring forward the second magazine. We offer to pay that from the Welsh Government project, simply to allow businesses to apply for one set of support from the uk government, rather than this complexity they will be faced with. Can we talk about the impact on Mental Health, we heard one young woman talk about the difficulties it will make for her and many other hundreds of thousands of people. Do you accept this is a difficult time . Absolutely, very difficult indeed, which is why we have decided to go for the shortest possible period of a firebreak, two weeks. If youre going to do it short, it has to be deep, there is a trade off. We could have gone for a longer period with slightly fewer restrictions but be advised to us, partly because of the impact on peoples Mental Health, what if you could keep this period as short as you could, it would help to mitigate the impact. We are allowing single adult households to form an alliance with another household during this two week period specifically in order to address the feelings of loneliness and isolation that People Living alone are bound to experience. Mark dra keford, alone are bound to experience. Mark drakeford, first minister for wales, thank you very much for your time. Thank you. This story is on the front page of quite a lot of the papers this morning. Prince william has been speaking to Business Owners in liverpool who have been affected by the tougher restrictions. During the video call, william discussed the challenges faced by the hospitality industry. He spoke to dj yousef, from the citys circus club nights, and Natalie Haywood who owns tea shop leaf. They both join us now. Good morning, both. Thank you for being on this call after being on quite an exciting one yesterday. Naturally, tell us how it all came about and at what point he joined the call . We got a phone, out of the blue last friday, it was a request tojoin the blue last friday, it was a request to join the duke for accordion yesterday. I was completely shocked and initially thought it was a hoax, really to join the duke a call. And initially thought it was a hoax, really tojoin the duke a call. I was completely floored until so amazed he could give the time to listen to what was going on underground in liverpool. He spent 45 minute speaking to a son a private zoom. Yousef, are you allowed to tell us what he said . He was allowed to tell us what he said . He was asking about liverpool and difficulties we have been experiencing. He was calm and compassionate, he asks really poignant questions, he did not want anything felted, he wanted to know the real situation. Anything felted. He was a lovely guy, especially with lots of people like myself trying to bring attention onto what has been happening in the event industry, you have somebody of his status to even give his time was amazing. It sounds like it has given you a bit of a list. Yousef, so many people have been affected by what we have been going through, do you feel he understood what you and many others in liverpool had experience . Yes, that is what the call was all about, he wanted to speak to people on the ground, like i say, rather than having a filtered version. When he was having a long conversation with natalie, i was looking at his face and he was taking it in, you could see the squirms and the compassion on his face when we were speaking and he meant eight, he cares, i had to say, he really took the time. There are so many different impact, not least of all peoples Mental Health. If you talk about that . He was keen to understand the impact on myself and yousef, how we were coping and getting through, he wanted to understand what the staff were going through and he was asking a lot about the psyche of the city, how it has affected liverpool, what the streets were like. He was really concerned about Mental Health and how we were coping. One of the things we have been talking about this morning is the ongoing discussions about Greater Manchester moving from tier 2 into tier 3, you are living with tier 3 restrictions, how has it been for your business . It has been pretty unbearable since september, we had gone from the highs of august two restriction after restriction after restriction. We have entered tier 3, folsom others, if i am honest, that is better, because we are slightly supported by two thirds of our wage. The open and having only flexible furlough but not many people coming to the jaw is more challenging because you cannot guarantee the alice for the staff being open and having only flexible furlough. But the big thing we were saying to Prince William was we do not know when we will get out of it, and it felt so special to think he was listening. We are all shouting about the supposed that we need and the issues we are facing and itjust felt incredible to think that he was really listening to what we were saying. Yousef, you are unlikely dj, how are you feeling . Presumably this has been months for you . You are a night club dj. I read my dj business, my event business and circuits recordings. For them to be switched off in march it was com pletely switched off in march it was completely devastating, it was like switching off a light. I was able to keep going. Tonight months and that is cool, just using what resources we had to keep going, but after the second imposed lockdown, the second six months, the second wave, it has made things quite difficult. In terms of djing, we do not know when we will be back at all. It could be 16 months with no income from that. In terms of the circus we were very lucky to get part of an Arts Council Grant last week which has made us able to continue and pay staff wages until at least the middle of next year, which was an enormous relief off my shoulders, and it turns of the label we are trying to make things more buoyant and colourful, less club music, most spotify music, we are trying to adapt and be realistic but we just do not know, like natalie said, when things will go back to normal, if they ever will. It is lovely to hear from you both and ibd hope things improve for you and everyone else in liverpool. I know bbc breakfast is a cut down after Prince William, but we really appreciate your time. Is a bit of appreciate your time. Is a bit of a come down after Prince William. Appreciate your time. Is a bit of a comedown after Prince William. We appreciate it, and i want to reiterate that william was a lovely quy reiterate that william was a lovely guy and to take time for us was really special. Thats eight. Eight mienie is not, there is another 45 minutes we will be back in about three minutes, now it is your news, travel and weather. Iamoff it is your news, travel and weather. I am off home see you good morning, im asad ahmad. Passengers flying from Heathrow Airport will have the option of paying £80 for a quick covid test from this morning. The facility at terminals 2 and 5 are for anyone travelling to places where authorities require proof of a negative test upon arrival. Results will be available within 20 minutes. A project manager on the Grenfell Tower refurbishment has admitted to the inquiry that she binned notebooks relating to her work after the deadly fire. Claire williams told the inquiry chairman she thought the information was documented elsewhere, which sir Martin Moore Bick found hard to understand. I think, if the police didnt take them, i binned them. You binned them . Even though you knew by that time that there was going to be or was, already, on foot a public inquiry. Um. I believe i looked at them and they were notes. Everything that was in there i would have thought is actually documented elsewhere. This photograph of a black demonstrator coming to the aid of a white protestor at an anti racism and counter demonstration on the southbank this year inspired a performance last night of britains first mainly black, asian and ethnically diverse orchestra. Chinekes founder described patricks actions as a momentous act of humanity on the streets of london. Patrick spoke after seeing the performance of remnants. There was a mixture of love and hate. There were people trying to protect him, but there were also people who wanted harm to come to him. And, you know, that resonates really a lot with what happened inside there. I felt it, i really felt it. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. Now the weather with elizabeth. Hello, good morning. It felt pleasantly warm yesterday in all that sunshine and today therell be some more bright and sunny spells and it could feel even warmer still. But its quite wet underfoot to start off the morning. Theres a band of rain just moving its way eastwards. Many of us wont see this at all. Its clearing eastwards as we head through the morning, so some early rain. Behind it, quite a lot of cloud but the cloud will thin and break to give us some bright and some sunny spells for much of the rest of the day. Should stay dry for the rest of the day, theres still quite a brisk southerly wind blowing. Highs today, really quite warm for the time of year 18 or 19 degrees celsius. Now through this evening and overnight, the winds will drop out for a time. Its going to stay mild but turning cloudy, and also turning rather wet into the start of the day tomorrow. This band of rain moving in from the south some of that rain will be rather heavy. And there is the chance that well see some very strong winds into the start of the day tomorrow. So its wet, potentially very windy on wednesday morning. Thats eight, goodbye for now. Hello, this is breakfast with Louise Minichin and dan walker. Still to come on breakfast, were joined by Great British bake off winner nadiya hussain, who tells us about her latest picture book for children, which is about coping with bullying.

Green the first thing we noticed was the kitchen bin, delayed was covered with dirt, the fridge was filthy, the hinges at the bottom were with dirt.

Thank you very much for that, we will see you at 9 15. Have you sent people dashing out the door early . Jamesjust have you sent people dashing out the door early . James just said, hold on a minute, she thought she was late for work it is only 8 32am 23 year old abi duffy was diagnosed with leukaemia as a teenager and received chemotherapy and a bone Marrow Transplant at alder hey Childrens Hospital in liverpool. Since then, shes decided to study to become a nurse. A few days ago, abi shared a special milestone on social media. She tweeted, seven years ago, i was a cancer patient at alder hey Childrens Hospital, and as of monday ill be a Nursing Student on the same ward, look at how far ive come. Abi hasjust finished her first night shift and joins us with her mum, debbie. Morning, both look at that, that is so sweet how was your first night shift . I actually really enjoyed it, it was good. I am a little bit tired now but, yeah, i really enjoyed it. Everyone was lovely. We really appreciate you coming on after having worked through the night. Give our viewers a bit more detail about why and when you were there, i imagine some of the people who looked after you are still there now. Yeah, there was, i seen them yesterday, it was crazy, they said, you look at the exact same it was. So you look at the exact same it was. So i was in hospital seven yea rs was. So i was in hospital seven years ago, was. So i was in hospital seven yea rs ago, because was. So i was in hospital seven years ago, because i had leukaemia, soi years ago, because i had leukaemia, so i had chemotherapy there and about Marrow Transplant, so i was quite ill at the time, and these nurses got me through, so it was nice to go back and be on the other side. Oh, and we are seeing pictures of you in the hospital being treated, and that inspired you to go into nursing, the people who looked after you . Yeah, it was, and i thought, if they could do it for me, it would be nice if i could give back and do it for somebody else and help somebody else the way i was helped. What is amazing, debbie, you know, this is just helped. What is amazing, debbie, you know, this isjust a chance happening . It wasnt organised, it wasnt planned for abi to be there, it is just the way it fell with the work experience, a wonderful thing to happen. Yeah, she never asked to go on, it was never planned or anything, it was like a one in a million chance she would go on there, but she was really happy when she found out the news, really happy. You must have spent many hours, debbie, with her at that hospital, and the work that the nurses and doctors do, it is really something, so amazing that she can give back herself. Yeah, i mean, at a time, they was our family for a long time, it was our second home, nearly a year, definitely our second home. But they were amazing. Abi, from a patient perspective, i would imagine that you are going back and being able to speak to some of the patients there now and say, i was on this ward, i was looked after by these nurses, it must be a real encouragement to people in the same beds that were in. Yeah, of course, andi beds that were in. Yeah, of course, and i think it is important as well to make sure that you dont override someones else experience, but if anyone needs that encouragement, i will share my experience with those, but i would never. I am notjust going to bring it up. Just because im there to it is nothing to do with my past experience any more. Just because im there to nurse them. We are just seeing pictures of you on the ward, your first day in a newjob is you on the ward, your first day in a new job is pretty you on the ward, your first day in a newjob is pretty nerve racking anyway, but this was a special day for you, wasnt it . Yeah, it was, yeah. And when they greeted you, they recognised you . It is quite ha rd they recognised you . It is quite hard at the minute, because we all have to wear masks, so you dont really recognise anyone but i was like, i remember you, really recognise anyone but i was like, i rememberyou, oh my god, you look at the exact same debbie, is a proud mum, looking at the reaction on social media must be nice from a family perspective. Oh, so proud, i was family perspective. Oh, so proud, i was really happy, so happy. Presumably the plan for the rest of the day is to sleep. Sorry to interrupt you, are you going to sleep the rest of the day . Yeah, sleep the rest of the day . Yeah, sleep before i am back into night at seven thank you so much for coming on and talking to us after a good old shift at a great hospital, enjoy the rest of your placement, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Bye bye you very much. Thank you very much. Bye bye to you very much. Thank you very much. Bye bye to your lovely dog too i knew you would focus on the dog theme parks, zoos and museums in england had a bumper year in 2019 thats according to figures out today. Not the same this year, though. That this year will be a tough one. Many people. Nina is in West Yorkshire this morning, oh, well. Ican yorkshire this morning, oh, well. I can say you have got a bit of a hothead hot headed we are trying to work out why i have got such a cold nose and incredibly warm shins. Welcome to eureka in West Yorkshire, lots of things here, thermal imaging, learning about balance, and i are poised, ready to receive 300,000 visitors every year, but they say the expectation is just 120,000 will come through these doors. Obviously, we are around the october half term mark now, so it means a lot to places like this. Leanne is nervous about numbers, you have seen cancellations go up. Yes, we have, actually. We have a good forecast for october half term, over 1000 a day, sticking around those numbers, but with some of the cancellations in the bookings we have got, we are a little bit worried. If we dont get those numbers, we are back to three days a week after half term, and the next opportunity we would have to get visitor numbers at that level would be the christmas holiday. It is a long old slog until christmas, isnt it . Already down to three days a week, how crucial that you get people through the doors of october half term . It is really important, and as long as it is safe to visit eureka, we would encourage all the visiting public to come, fantastic programme, getting decorated for halloween, there will be loads to do, a really good time ina be loads to do, a really good time in a covid secure environment. Difficult for you to know exact numbers, and you have already had to get rid of some jobs. We are in a consultation period, nothing has changed yet, but we are looking at a one third reduction of our workforce. Best of luck for the weeks ahead and october half term. On average, it is expected that they will lose, over the period of 2020, collectively, sorry, around £45 billion between uk attractions. I just want to show you this tongue. Yuck dont take this personally you represent the wider visitor economy, stoutly and talking about problems specifically for this attraction, but there is something called the gda the wider value it brings to the local economy, how important is that . It is important now and throughout the year for all of our museums, Visitor Attractions and all the supply chains, so people are not coming, not using public transport, not using the cafes and restau ra nts transport, not using the cafes and restaurants that are just a few hundred yards away, so it is so important to keep these economies going, especially through half term as well. Lots of talk at the moment about a circuit break, things being shut down completely, is that prefera ble shut down completely, is that preferable for yorkshire . Shut down completely, is that preferable for yorkshire . shut down completely, is that preferable for yorkshire . I think the question with regards to circuit brea kers the question with regards to Circuit Breakers is not just the question with regards to Circuit Breakers is notjust a yorkshire issue but a national issue, and we have to be guided by science and the data suggests that if two weeks or three weeks means we can have a chance to recover quicker come about asa chance to recover quicker come about as a society and as an economy, i think we have to follow that advice. But it remains to be seen, and if it does happen, support packages need to be in place for Visitor Attractions. This october half term is so important for literally thousands of museums across the country. Interestingly, last year visitor numbers were up by 3 , so particularly disappointing to take this blow in 2020, especially when there are more than 3 million jobs which depend on Visitor Attractions. Nina, thank you very much. I want to have a go at the hot camera thing visitors to Salisbury Cathedral are being given a rare chance to take a glimpse behind the scenes, as stone masons work to preserve parts of the 800 year old structure. Breakfasts john maguire is at the cathedral for us this morning. Good morning, john 0h, oh, can you hear us, john . Sorry, i can now hear you, dan loss due for a second yes, welcome to Salisbury Cathedral, looking absolutely magnificent, a Perfect Place for reflection, we thought. You might be able to hear the water running off the font, that is the sound just off camera. We are in the middle of a perpetual series of works and restoration works, and 800 year old building, 60,000 tonnes of stone, all of the stained glass, all of the plumbing, so much work to do. It has been impacted by covid, we will find out how they are dealing with that, but one thing you are able to do is to visit the works, to go on the roof, to climb the scaffolding, scale the heights, see exactly what the work today is like, and also compare it, very interestingly, to what the work has a lwa ys interestingly, to what the work has always been like in this church. Its spire stretches 123 metres into the heavens, just above 400 feet, making it the tallest in britain. It dominates the city of salisbury and the surrounding countryside. But its only up close that you gain a full appreciation of this building and the people who created it. Were climbing the scaffolding on the among the parapets tour, covid secure, of course, but a chance to see the scale of the task at hand. This is a gablet. And there is a buttress below. Weve introduced new stones here, which you can see. Theres old stones above. This is what this one did look like originally, but obviously all the details gone. So in order to reproduce a new one, the mason has got a lot of scope to introduce their new flowing design. As long as its gothic, Early English gothic, in style and design. Well, this building is 800 years old. The restoration work thats been going on for the past 35 years or so has seen the replacement of around 1 of the stones. So, as you can imagine, theres still quite a lot of work to do. They were built for a smaller workman in those days. Clambering beneath the east end roof into a loft that for centuries was a workshop for the stonemasons, gary shows me how much of the traditional way of working still continues today. Everyjoint there is soldered. So its all lead and we actually cast our own lead canes on site. So this is what we call a two pin lewis. Its split in half, if you like. And when you put them both together and then you put them in the hole like that. When you lift up the hook, it literally grips and holds the weight of the stone. Easily four or 500 kilos. Wind, rain, frost and pollution have joined forces to attack the cathedrals exterior. But step inside and the stonework looks as if it was created yesterday. Were looking straight down the scissor arches. Perfect symmetry. They look almost like a teardrop. Stone Vaulted Ceilings above which is being painted with reds and blues and greens. Back on terra firma in the stone masons workshop, sarahs carving in the same way as her forebears have for centuries. And like them, modern day artisans create their own incredible detail in the stone. Often their work will be placed hundreds of feet high, near invisible from the ground. But you know its there, its there for history. So, you know, grandchildren or whatever, they always know that their grandmothers done x on the cathedral, even if i need to use binoculars to see it. Theyre always gonna know that ive done some work on the cathedral. So, i love that. Traditionally, theyve carved their unique signature, often initials into the stone. Its known as a banker mark, as it ensured that they were paid. They can identify the stones that theyve worked and everything. And its kind of like an age old tradition that goes back to the medieval masons. And speaking of getting paid, the money raised from the tours will go towards the £2 million shortfall caused by covid. But Salisbury Cathedral is among those institutions that have survived even worse. Standing right next to where the first person to be buried in Salisbury Cathedral was buried on 1226, it was his life that laid the Foundation Stone to the cathedral. 800 years ago, there would have been a very big celebration planned earlier in this year but it was curtailed because of the pandemic. Let speak to the dean of salisbury, the man in charge. What sort of impact on the work and life of the cathedral has the pandemic had . The first task was to work out how our co re first task was to work out how our core business of worship and prayer could continue when the doors were locked, the second was to work out how worship and prayer could happen once the doors could be open again and the surge was to ensure that all of that, our worship, and the surge was to ensure that all of that, ourworship, our and the surge was to ensure that all of that, our worship, our prayer, the life and care of this amazing place, could be paid for. The closure cost us a great deal of money, a great source of income as visitors and the closure of all those months meant that £2 million worth of income was put at risk to the lockdown. And parts of the city we re the lockdown. And parts of the city were locked down a couple of years ago because of the novichok poisoning, so lightning struck twice . 2018 was a very bad year for the city, 2019 so as beginning to recover and 2020, which would have been our great year of celebration and a great year of saying salisbury is back and open to the world, was dealt a blow by the pandemic. And you get a sense of the craftsmanship that we are talking about, the first person to be buried here, 800 years ago, he would not really have had any idea that would still be a church here in eight centuries times and that people would be working in traditional methods. In a poem written shortly after the laying of the Foundation Stones, the words he used, this place, though built by kings, was made for all to share, and that is the legacy we are trying to honour. And the craftsmanship, the stained glass, the lads were, the stained glass, the lads were, the woodwork, the stones, it is a sight to behold . The stained glass, the my monster and me. One of those nations from 800 years ago, if they worked in the gary prices mason yard this morning he would understand exactly how they are working, malik and shizzle, a living tradition we are trying to uphold mallet and chisel. Said he very much, good to talk to you this morning, the dean of salisbury. And when you talk about some of those stones that we saw in the film and you might have seen if you were watching earlier, the stones have to be hand cut to fit, because the previous stones that were laid eight centuries ago would not have been cut with laser precision and spirit levels and things but cut by hand, so anything replacing it today also has to be disposed, very impressive levels of craftsmanship. Studio cut with love and artistry. Thank you, john. They did not do too bad, making it last for 800 years in the first place. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. What are you telling us . it is wet for some of us already, a beautiful picture from ireland. Across many areas we will have rain or showers but it will be mild. The other feature is the wind. We have a southerly wind coming in, dragging in all this warmer air from the near continent and, indeed, temperatures will be above average for the time of year. We had said goodbye to the rain from the south east, some showers getting into wales but more persistent rain will move up across Northern Ireland and later get into central and southern scotland. The rain will be landing across the far north of scotland, here too it will be windy, as it is to the irish sea, but it will be mild, eight or nine in lerwick to 19 as we sweep down to london. We continue windy for a time overnight, the wind eases and picks up overnight, the wind eases and picks up again, showers in the north and west. I want to draw your eye to this rain coming across the Channel Islands, in across southern and south eastern parts of england. Most of us staying in double figures, a mild night. It will move steadily towards the north east, there is the potential for some very strong winds in the English Channel and parts of the south east. It is the remnants of stowe barbara. We will have showery outbreaks in the north west but something drier and brighter. Still pretty mild for the time of year. Thank you very much, carol. Since winning the Great British bake off, nadiya hussain has turned her hand to writing not only cookery books but also stories for children. Nadiya wrote her first picture book last year, and now shes followed that up with today im strong, which is aimed at helping children overcome bullying. Nadiya joins us now. Good morning, always nice to speak to you, i hope you are doing all right this morning. Yes, i am really good, iam right this morning. Yes, i am really good, i am straight in the spare bedroom, thinking about what colour to paint it. Do you need suggestions from our viewers . They are very good at that. I would love some advice. We will let you know the end of the interview tell us about today im strong, why did you want to write it . When i have written a picture book it is about something that resonates with me. I was bullied as a child and it felt important for me to write a book about bullying, for children to understand what it means to be bullied and for parents to understand what it feels like. I find picture books are wonderful tools are parents, caregivers and children to communicate and it felt really were in imported to write a book about bullying. This little girl hasa a book about bullying. This little girl has a special friend here is a tiger . When writing my books i find it important to incorporate animals, i think animals have a way of connecting with people, especially children, that humans dont, which is why i like to incorporate animals into my picture books. It is about that moment when you feel really strong and you feel like you have your voice, it is like Walking Around with a tiger walking behind you. Your own children are a bit older, are you an author who runs ideas pass your kids, are they quite as or do they think that you have good ideas . With picture books, especially with my ten year old girl, i always read them to her, she enjoyed reading but she is but they are very critical, whether it comes to food your writing, if it does not work they will say, no, you have to change that. If they do not like something, they will say, so especially with the books, if there is something they do not understand ora is something they do not understand or a flow is something they do not understand oraflow in is something they do not understand or a flow in the story breaks they will always say, money, you had to change the bed, so it really helps. Table always say, mummy, you had to change this. Do you have an opinion on the pictures as well . M is back and both, we went back and forth on the tiger, i said, i think he needs a couple most right on the top of his head, we go back and full, these beautiful illustrations bring the words to light and without ella i would not be able to create this book, so hats off to her because she does an amazing job of illustrating the book, it would not exist without her. If you had a book like this when you were being bullied at school, would it have helped . Absolutely. When ireland back, i think there is a natural assumption that all children grow up reading books, i certainly didnt andi reading books, i certainly didnt and i only really started reading books. I only visited a library when i was 18, i only started reading books in high school. There is an assumption that all children have access to books, and they dont, so i think it is really important to write books for Young Children who have to deal with things like bullying or Mental Health issues and find a way of addressing those issues through picture books at as early an age as possible. I didnt have access to books, i think the assumption that everybody has books is wrong. This has obviously been keeping you busy during lockdown, i imagine somebody of your skill has been giving a lot of your skill has been giving a lot of baking, have you been coming up with new creations . I wish my mind would stop sometimes, even in lockdown, we were ok for eggs but we ran out of flour, we have chickens, we never run out of eggs but i could not find furlough so i had to rethink how i bake, there was lots of gluten free baking and using up whatever i have at home, and that is a really good way to ramp up the skills but i could not find flour soi skills but i could not find flour so i had to rethink how i bake. Great british bake off is back, have you been watching it . Great British bake off is back, have you been watching it . I had to say, i havent. Iam not you been watching it . I had to say, i havent. I am not watching any of the spoilers or reading any, i have turned all my alerts off so i do not hear anything and we are doing a big pinch this weekend, we will watch the lot in one go. So if anybody is to see you, do not talk about it . Yes, please do not tell me anything i will not give any spoilers but it is on and they have managed to do it, we all need a little bit ofjoy on the television in these times . Gosh, yes. We forget what television can give us. I never realised until i started making television whatjoy it can give us. Just to be able to share recipes, whether you bake or not, just to watch some amateur ba kers not, just to watch some amateur bakers cry over some cake, it gives you some light relief, somehow. think you are right. Three people have all suggested a differentiator of green, i dont know how you feel about green, but that is the main colour coming in. My kitchen is green, so colour coming in. My kitchen is green, so i might not go that, but i was thinking a gentlemans grey. will go for that, sensibly. Thank you very much, nadiya, and all the best for the book, today im strong. Youre watching bbc breakfast. Its 8 59. Good morning, this is bbc news with the latest headlines. A deadline to break the deadlock leaders in Greater Manchester have until midday to agree a deal taking the region into the highest level of covid restrictions in england. The problem is the government are not funding local areas to close lots of things, and therefore, in my view, it is unlikely that tier 3 is going to have the effect that the government was saying. Do you live in manchester . Are you backing your local leaders or National Leaders at westminster . How do you feel about going into tier 3 restrictions .
