Than a quarter of their income. Theyve done it. For the first since 1998, scotland can celebrate qualifying for a mens major tournament after a dramatic win over serbia on penalties. A spell of pretty heavy rain and gusty winds for many this morning but things will turn drier and brighter, sunshine later, details on that and the full weekend forecast coming up. Its friday, the 13th of november. Our top story. A significantjump in the daily confirmed cases of coronavirus in the uk has led to increasing concerns about the growth of the virus. More than 33,000 new cases were recorded yesterday, a rise of almost 46 in a day. But some experts warn against reading too much into one days data. Simonjones reports. Schoolchildren in liverpool get tested as part of the citywide trial offering checks to everyone to try to stop the spread of the virus. Yeah, definitely worth doing. You know, obviously, we have to keep safe because you dont want to get coronavirus. So obviously, especially in a big school, you dont want it to spread. There were 33,470 new Coronavirus Infections recorded in the uk in the latest 2a hour period. Thats a Record Number, though Testing Capacity has increased greatly since the first wave. The average number of new cases per day in the past week is now 23,857. Its important to look at the number of cases reported over a number of days and not just take one day in isolation. But its clear that infection rates have been going up, as ive shown you. And whats really important is to get those infection rates down. Thats what will reduce deaths, its what will reduce the pressure on hospitals. Its just over a week since the second lockdown came into force across england with the hope that things will get better before christmas. The streets are certainly quieter, but one theory for a rise in daily confirmed cases is that people took the opportunity for a last night out before lockdown. And because of a delay in getting symptoms and then getting tested, its only now feeding through to the figures. The prospect of a vaccine remains tantalisingly close. 0n question time, the Health Secretary said if its approved, the government is ready to roll it out early next month. But it wont be an easy task. This thing isnt a chemical thats made. This is biological. Then it arrives and you have to keep it at minus 70, and then you have to distribute it and itll be a huge effort from the nhs. But while the wait goes on, the message is its vitalfor anyone with symptoms to continue to get tested. Qr code, please. Simon jones, bbc news. Tough coronavirus restrictions have been extended in Northern Ireland for a further week. The current measures were due to expire at midnight tonight with ministers under pressure to make a decision. Under a compromise deal reached by the Stormont Executive, some businesses will re open next friday. The Prime Ministers most Senior Adviser, Dominic Cummings, is to leave downing street by christmas. The confirmation of his departure comes amid reports of internal tensions in number ten. Lets speak now to our political correspondent, leila nathoo, who joins us from westminster. This has been rumbling now for a couple of days at least. A lot of people saying it is exposing some real issues at the heart of downing street, where are we now . There had been rumours that Dominic Cummings was going to resign following the departure of his close ally, lee cain, who was the Prime Ministers director of communications, who said he was going to stand down yesterday. This was all as a result of factionalfighting, yesterday. This was all as a result of factional fighting, personality clashes, tensions in downing street which have been exposed in recent days. Dominic cummings has said to the bbc that nothing has changed in his position, he always intended to step down really in the new year, he wrote a blog back injanuary where he said he intended to make himself largely redundant by the end of 2020 and he says nothing has changed. There is no doubt now that the balance of power in number 10 has shifted, with the departure of his ally, lee cain, they were a close tea m ally, lee cain, they were a close team of advisers that were a legacy of the brexit referendum campaign, the vote to leave team who came into number 10 with Boris Johnson. The vote to leave team who came into number 10 with borisjohnson. They 110w number 10 with borisjohnson. They now seem to be on the wane in terms of influence and it seems like the Prime Minister is willing to let them go even though they have been so them go even though they have been so crucial to his political success both in terms of winning the brexit referendum and getting him into number 10 referendum and getting him into number10 and referendum and getting him into number 10 and winning the general election. There will be lots of tory mps who have been unhappy with the way that downing street has been working under that close team of advisers who will be very happy to see the departure of those close aides, saying to the Prime Minister that it will be a chance to reset things, for him to have other influences and for him to focus on other policies. This definitely marks a big moment in Boris Johnsons leadership, that he is losing the people that have been at his side, his closest aides, since he took over. Thank you. A former nurse charged with the murders of eight babies and the attempted murder of another ten is due to appear in court later. 30 year old lucy letby was arrested following an investigation at a hospital in chester. 0ur correspondent phil mccann is outside Chester Crown court.

This will be lucy letbys Second Court Appearance after she appeared in front of magistrates in warrington yesterday, she only spoke there to confirm her name, date of birth in 1990 and her dative her address in hereford. That was the first occasion which the names of those babies who she is accused of murdering were released, five of them are boys, cemlyn bennett, josephjohnson, barney gee, Joseph Gelder and eli gelder.

New cycle lanes and more socially distanced pavements could be introduced as councils in england receive more money from the government to support active travel. The department for transport is offering a further £175 million of funding that was initially announced in may. Measures that were introduced during the first lockdown provoked a mixed response, with some tory mps and Motorists Group saying they created problems. Barack 0bama ba rack 0bama has barack 0bama has accused senior us republicans by undermining of undermining democracy by not going against Donald Trumps claims of widespread fraud. Speaking to cbs, he said the full is allegations were motivated by mr trumps dislike of losing. The full sanitation. The false allegations. They appear to be motivated in part because the president does not like to lose and never admits loss. Im more troubled by the fact that other republican officials who clearly know better are going along with this, are humouring him in this fashion. It is one more step in delegitimising not just the Incoming Biden Administration but democracy in general. Lets have our first chat about the weather. My analysis so far from the north west in salford, is stepping down. It is tipping down. Well said it is for many people. But hold on your face, the wet and windy start will clear through to sunshine and a few showers. Let me show you where the rain is at the moment, a burly narrow band is pushing across, easing across wales and the western half of england, there will be intense bursts of rain and gusty winds, it will reach the south east by eight or 9am and then it eases away. There will be some at times after that, a few showers in the west in the afternoon, through the west in the afternoon, through the late morning from the western half of scotland. 0ne the late morning from the western half of scotland. One or two on the stiff south westerly breeze will push eastwards but many eastern parts will stay dry. Showers on and off for Northern Ireland and then a few showers in the western half of england and wales this afternoon. Compared to the rain you will see this morning, much brighter. Temperatures are a little above where we should be, 11 14 degrees. After a dry start, cloud will roll m, after a dry start, cloud will roll in, outbreaks of rain developing fairly scattered across the country, on and off across saturday. A fairly cloudy day for most on saturday but it will be very mild for the time of year. By sunday, sunshine comes back with a mix of showers, but it will be windier on sunday particularly in the south. More details in half an hour. Not to start the morning by unsettling you. Why you laughing . It is ten past six it is a nervous laugh friday the 13th. It is, a lucky day. 0k, well see. Depends how we look at it. We have three hours, lets see how it goes. A nervous laugh back the indian festival of light diwali is normally celebrated with parties and gifts. But with many temples closed and restrictions in place, traditional celebrations arent possible this year. The chancellor of the exchequer rishi sunak, who is a practicing hindu, has urged those celebrating to respect the lockdown ban on meeting people outside their household. Sima kotecha, has more. Sisters chaya and maya, lighting candles by a statue of their hindu deity. 0m shanti, shanti, shanti. Like christmas and other religious festivals, diwali brings gifts, songs and traditional food. Although the sisters are excited about its imminent arrival, they know this year wont be the same. Weve still got the light and the fireworks. But you cant meet up with your family and you have to do it on zoom. Thats ok, you at least get to see them, not face to face, but still like a bit sad because we actually want to like, maybe hug them. Their grandparents live just minutes away, but arent in their bubble. They talk online and tomorrow will be no different. But therell be no exchanging of food and no dancing with cousins. Normally we would dance and perform at grandpas house as you saw. So wed dance and sing. We do a big show and weve practised online, weve got it all correct. And this year, perhaps, will be more poignant than usual. South asians have been disproportionately affected by coronavirus. The girls grandparents lost a close friend to the virus. And so this diwali, they say, will have a somber tone. We are in close contact with his wife and of course, not very far from us, you know, being a good friend, but, of course, will be missed in that respect. That one friend we have lost. The chancellor, a practising hindu, is urging those who celebrate to stay at home, even though they may be tempted to visit relatives. I know how difficult it is. I mean, its so difficult for us not to want to see each other like it is for everybody, especially at this time of year. But weve just got to stick with this for a couple more weeks and were going to get through this to keep everyone safe right now. Just follow the rules. But there are those, chancellor, who have said that theyre frustrated that the restrictions could be lifted in time for christmas but wont be lifted in time for diwali. What would you say to those people . Well, i mean, weve had restrictions all the way through this year. Theres lots of different religious and cultural celebrations that happen. We cant control the spread of the virus. The virus is doing what its doing. We have to react to that. And thats got to be the right way to approach this. This is neasden temple. Its one of britains most popular temples and it hosts the largest diwali and hindu new Year Celebrations in europe. But not this year. Therell be no packed car parks. Therell be no line of worshippers waiting to go inside. But instead, there will be virtual ceremonies for thousands of people to watch from the safety of their home. Special days like this one bring the differences caused by covid into sharp and often painful focus. Sima kotecha, bbc news. Lets take a look at todays papers. Dominic cummings, chief adviser to the Prime Minister, is pictured on the front or the Daily Telegraph. The newspapers says mr cummings is at the beginning of the end of his time in downing street, according to their sources. The daily mail is calling for ministers to relax stringent coronavirus restrictions and prioritise mass testing in care homes to ensure residents do not spend christmas by themselves. And bbc news has also been looking ahead to christmas and its reporting that a number of European Countries have warned that it is too early to plan for christmas travel, as coronavirus cases continue to rise across the continent. In the uk, discussions have taken place about the four nations taking a joint approach to covid rules over christmas, but theres no official advice as yet. And the guardian has the first british newspaper interview with the scientist behind the first covid 19 vaccine who says he is confident his product can bash the virus over the head and put an end to the pandemic. It also pictures boxer nicola adams and her dance partner katya jones, who have to pull out of strictly come dancing because katya has coronavirus. I like the scientists termination, avoiding the scientific terminology, bashit avoiding the scientific terminology, bash it on the head. What . The scientist in charge of the covid 19 terminology, use the terminology would not expect, saying it would bashit would not expect, saying it would bash it on the head. How much do you like a cheeseboard at christmas . Its a nice thing. Do you think you would use more packaging if your cheese was packaged as a square block or a rectangular block . More, if it were rectangular. I dont think theres any difference, to the size of the cheese. You wouldnt think so but apparently christmas, we are now going to see more cheddar sold in a rectangular lump, tesco has found that changing the traditional shape of cheese saves a huge amount of plastic packaging. Also the manager of cheese buying at tesco says that chunkier packet sizes make cutting, grating and slicing simpler, i dont how that works. But i have had the thing when you have the rectangle of cheese and you have the rectangle of cheese and you great the whole thing and it chunks of annual left with that chunk. And you are left with that chunk. And you are left with that chunk. These are real issues. If you have a cheeseboard, and you would like to swan up to it naturally, you have mens slippers. The friday fashion slot, the Daily Telegraph is talking about the joy of slippers. Because of so many people working from home, the rise and rise of sales of slippers, some of which are very expensive. For example, the velvet 0pera pumps. |j very expensive. For example, the velvet opera pumps. I love it they are quite raffish, £350. And they have got a little bow effect on the front which is probably where the money is. What was your fashion tip last week . Lemonjacket . Money is. What was your fashion tip last week . Lemon jacket . |j money is. What was your fashion tip last week . Lemonjacket . I cant remember. Its quite a combo we are coming up with. I am enjoying the charlie fashion slot. 18 minutes past six is the time. Throughout the pandemic weve been following the struggles for freelancers, contractors and self employed people who have been excluded from various Financial Support schemes. When we asked the business minister nadim zahawi about the fact that those people wouldnt be helped by the extension to furlough, we had a huge response. In a moment well get more on this from ben, first heres a reminder of what the minister had to say. Well, i think the self employed, the chancellor did the right thing to increase, as you quite rightly said, the amount that they are able to claim from 40 to 80 with the additional announcement on the furlough scheme extension. Im talking about those who have been excluded, though. 0n the excluded, these are people who have their own businesses, directors of their own businesses who would have taken dividends out of their businesses. They have clearly had a really difficult time and i completely understand that. But we have also put nine billion into the welfare system to try and help those people who have found it very difficult. Youre going to pick up on this. Last week we spoke to the minister. What we know from talking to individuals and people caught up in this, there is a group of people who have received nothing. That remains the case, as these various schemes are rolled out. And when ministers are rolled out. And when ministers are faced with that, they talk about other things. Thats the pattern. Good morning. Thats right. Since that interview, loads of people have got in touch, we would describe those people is falling through the cracks. They dont qualify for any of the support that was announced in march and even the new measures that take it through to next march, again, they say that they no longer benefit from that. We will hear from that in just a moment, or some of them certainly. Let me explain what we are talking about. The government has pledged to extend the scheme and says it will provide more support for self employed workers, and there is a group that you refer to which have been excluded, they have formed their own support group cold excluded uk, trying to address that situation which they say is patently unfair. Estimates suggest anything up unfair. Estimates suggest anything up to one and 3 million who are thought to have fallen through the cracks, where the furlough scheme and other support systems were launched. They also include people who started work too late to be furloughed, people who havejust come self employed, company directors, people who did not earn enough from self employment, they arent part of the support, they are judged to be earning too much from the support. When the government extended the scheme, it put another three £7. 3 billion towards the self employed but the criteria was the same so people fell for the gaps. That matters because today new figures show that more than health of self employed people have lost more than a quarter of their income, compared to just 14 of people who are employed. So a huge difference, and those who are affected are really feeling this in their pockets. Let me introduce you to three stories from people who have got in touch with us after that interview, louise, kevin and amy. Im amy francis, im a carer, and i was excluded because i was within my first year of self employment. My business was going very well. I was fully booked, turning people away until covid hit. I assumed that i would get help from watching rishi sunak on bbc news on the briefings. He informed everybody that nobody would be left behind, that i would be able to claim universal credit. There would be grants available to claim. But unfortunately, because i was within my first year of self employment, i was unable to claim any of that. It was quite a hard time. We had to cut back on all ourfinances. I had to borrow money off family members. Im kev payne, im a former Primary School teacher turned illustrator. Im excluded as under 50 of my earnings came from illustration in 2018. When i first heard about the self employment support scheme, i was overjoyed. It had taken a little while for the self employed to be thought of, and i thought there was help at last. But then that joy turned to despair very quickly when i realised that actually i was going to be left behind. Ive saved enough money to pay my tax bill, which is due injanuary. But once thats been paid, then questions remain about my future. Its like a dark cloud that kind of looms over me. Im Louise Percival and im a child care provider. I have been excluded because my trading profits exceeded the £50,000 threshold. I furloughed my staff, i did the right thing. I did what borisjohnson asked me to do as an individual and as an employer. And i got nothing. I do understand the point that people might think that because my average trading profits exceeded the £50,000 cap over the last three years, that i should not be entitled to anything. But its taken me 18 years to achieve that within my business. I have put it, what i can, into a pension for my future this because i dont have a pension. I dont work for some Big Organisation which pays 8 of a pension and i contribute 3 . Im a sole trader. Myjob is me. My business is me. It all comes through my creativity. And as part of my mind is filled with this worry and this anger and this sense of injustice, it means that ive been unable to concentrate fully on my work. Its definitely put a struggle on my life, my partners life, my familys life. Ive had to borrow money and nobody should be put in that position, especially when the government are giving out help and are choosing not to help people like me. Really grateful to louise, kevin and amy for telling us their story this morning, some of those who feel excluded by the Government Support scheme. We spoke to the government about this and put their concerns to them, i want to bring neither statement. They say they have supported millions of people with there, unprecedented support schemes, they say they have done as much as they can to help as many as people as possible. As many of the 3 Million People this morning, the government says they should have received some support in some shape 01 received some support in some shape orform, received some support in some shape or form, whether that is through the furloughs scheme, grants or local authority support. They also say there is extra welfare help through things like universal credit. Not much help, clearly, if you are in a position like louise, kevin or amy where you feel like you have fallen through the cracks but nonetheless it underlines just how difficult it is for people right now and that the Government Support scheme cannot, and as we heard there, will not help everyone. It just shows everyone. Itjust shows how raw everyone. It just shows how raw this everyone. Itjust shows how raw this is, i think kevin said, its like a dark cloud looming. It doesnt go away. I will just reiterate cloud looming. It doesnt go away. I willjust reiterate what you said, thank you. Thank you to those people, telling a story like that on a National Programme like this is hard, and you are exposing yourself to that. Its really appreciated. It is clear, the toll it takes, not just financial, its a real stress. Time for the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im sonja jessup. New Research Suggests one in four londoners would be reluctant to be vaccinated against coronavirus, once an effective vaccine becomes available. The London AssemblyHealth Committee study found almost half of those said they either didnt trust government guidance, or drug companies. The Committee Says a lack of uptake could stop any vaccine being effective, and is calling for a campaign to reassure londoners. The mayors announced plans to give black londoners a greater role in monitoring the met police and training new recruits to try to improve trust. Sadiq khans announced the move after concerns were raised about the use of force and stop and search. City hall says the met commissioner has acknowledged that racism exists within the force, and wants to work with black communities to make changes.

Theres an approaching cold front thats going to be pushing its way eastwards through the mid to the late morning. Its quite a windy day the winds will pick up as we see that heavy rain come through.

Hopefully they will be happy theyre back with their first studio album in a decade well be talking to mcfly just after nine. Good morning, heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. The Prime Ministers most Senior Adviser, Dominic Cummings, is to leave downing street by christmas. The confirmation of his departure comes amid reports of internal tensions in number 10. Mr cummings refused to resign in the summer, after it was revealed that he drove from london to durham during lockdown. A significant jump in the daily confirmed cases of coronavirus in the uk has led to increasing concerns about the growth of the virus. More than 33,000 new cases were recorded yesterday a rise of almost 46 in a day. But some experts warn against reading too much into one days data. Tough coronavirus restrictions have been extended in Northern Ireland for a further week. The current measures were due to expire at midnight tonight with ministers under pressure to make a decision. Under a compromise deal reached by the Stormont Executive some businesses will re open next friday. We can speak now to gpjamie parker. Good morning to you. How are you . Yeah, good, thank you, charlie. I know we are hearing the doom and gloom and offal numbers but it was so nice this week to hear some positive news awful numbers. Some positive news awful numbers. Some positive news awful numbers. Some positive news about a vaccine. Positive news awful numbers. Some positive news about a vaccinem positive news awful numbers. Some positive news about a vaccine. It is so interesting for you, and of course everyone involved in that. At this stage, and i know it is early, you and your practice, how are you seeing how that will work for you . 0verall seeing how that will work for you . Overall it is just nice to have some good news for once. We are all fed up good news for once. We are all fed up with this, everyone is tired and all the nhs staff need a boost in morale. It is some positive news, its fantastic and much needed. In terms of how it will be rolled out, it isa terms of how it will be rolled out, it is a massive task. The Vaccine Campaign is on a scale that hasnt been seen before. An enormous amount of work going on in the background andi of work going on in the background and i think what you will see is the nhs coming together in a way it hasnt done before that we are ready to provide this vaccine as and when it is ready. Gps like yourselves dont live in a bubble and some of the things are affecting lots of people i to do with their elderly relatives and friends who are in ca re relatives and friends who are in care homes and the visiting around that, there has been a lot written and many people have had very difficult experiences trying to see their loved ones, given the restrictions. You and your family have had to work that out, as well. Yes, friends and family are so important for people in care homes and it has been a really difficult time. This time in lockdown, the second time around, people have realised that. My grandmother is 94 and is very lucky to be in a great nursing home in high wycombe. She benefits hugely from their support, but also from a nearly daily contact mainly from my aunt, through the use of ta blets. Mainly from my aunt, through the use of tablets. She uses facetime with help from the staff, which is great. This time through lockdown, they have actually been able to see her physically, outside and distanced, no contact, but they have been able to see her in person, which is great. We saw some lovely pictures. What is your grannys name . Margaret. We call her uma. Lovely, lots of people will empathise. Can i talk to you about the worry about hospitalisations . We saw some statistics yesterday about the number of people who are in hospital with covid and of course at the knock on effect in terms of their wider health in the community. Yeah, this is the worry. This is why lockdown is in place because, as hospitals fill up, all the services that hospitals provide a fillip and they cannot provide the urgent care that people need and that then backlogs into the community and puts pressure on primary Care Services and the whole service will struggle if hospitals become locked by coronavirus. That is why such a huge ask is being put on the public to follow the lockdown rules, especially this time around. Despite the possible news about the vaccine, they stay at home advice, not mixing, it is so key. The nhs is open, we are there for you. We want you to come forward if you have a problem, but if the hospitals and of the system becomes jammed then we will not be able to do that. Just a thought about you and your practice. Right at the beginning we spoke to you and many other gps, saying we wa nt you and many other gps, saying we want people to still talk to your gp. Give us a sense of how it is now. This time around. In the first Lockdown People didnt actually call. People were so scared and the number of calls we had dropped. We had to send text m essa 9 es dropped. We had to send Text Messages and communications out to tell people that we are still here, call us. This time around, people know we are here, they are contacting us about health concerns, we have seen people we need to see. We are still doing it in a very different way but we are very much open and people, i think, different way but we are very much open and people, ithink, know different way but we are very much open and people, i think, know that this time around, that we are not closed, we never have been, we are open and here for you. Say hello to uma for us, if i can be so bold as to use the word your family uses. We wish you well and we will talk to you again soon, thank you. Thank you. Everyone is dealing with something, everyone has a story. The scottish i happy the scottish football supporters, i should say. Those who support scotland are very happy. Ecstatic. Over the last 22 yea rs, happy. Ecstatic. Over the last 22 years, so many heartbreaks and disappointments and at times last night they would have been thinking, oh, here we go again. In contrast, spare a thought for Northern Ireland. On a night of high drama in the euro 2020 playoff finals, it was one in, one out for the home nations. Scotland qualified for their first major tournament in mens football, since the 1998 world cup, after beating serbia on penalties. But it was a night of heartbreak for nothern ireland, who lost 2 1 in extra time to slovakia. Patrick gearey looks back on a roller coaster of a night. 22 years of frustration and consternation. 22 years forgotten in a second. The wait since 98, the hope and pain all condensed into one match. But finally, scotlands men are back at a major tournament. Scottish fans in their living rooms will have seen too much over the past two decades to think this would be easy. And yet, when Ryan Christie scored, it was the least they deserved. But they failed to finish serbia off. Fate had been tempted, and fate has form with scotland. 89 minutes, luka jovic. All sorts of demons and doubts raised in belgrade. In extra time, scotland wobbled, holding on for the bell. Keeper David Marshall will save them. And on that crucial tenth kick of the shoot out, he turned back history. A night of champagne spray for scotland began with disinfectant in belfast it kills germs, but not spirit. Northern ireland rules allowed some fans to watch them face slovakia, but that wasnt an entirely pleasant experience whenjuraj kucka put the slovakians ahead. And there they stayed all the way into the final five minutes, when paddy mcnair saw a gap and forced an own goal. And its gone in this is how 2020 does wild celebrations, and it seemed that energy might power Northern Ireland all the way to the euros. Kyle lafferty so nearly got them there. But in the second half of extra time, they gave michal duris just enough to aim at just enough to break their hearts. The closer you get, the harder it can be to face. Patrick geary, bbc news. So disappointment for nothern ireland, while im sure the celebrations will continue across scotland this morning. Well have plenty of reaction on breakfast for you later. First this hour, the man whos lead them there manager steve clarke. Unbelievable, unbelievable, the character of the players. I think, too, we were setting up nicely for a typical scottish last game scenario, werent we . 1 0 up going into the last minute of the game and conceding from a set play. It would have been easy to crumble, and take the disappointment and not finish the game properly but they dug in in extra time. They kept believing, and they got their reward when we got it to penalty kicks, they kept their nerve again. Two big games, twice that group of players have held their nerve. Unbeaten in nine now, scotland, best run since 1930. A historic night, too, at wembley as england beat the republic of ireland 3 0 in a friendly. Harry maguire captained the side and opened the scoring. Jadon sancho and Dominic Calvert lewin then sealed englands first victory over the republic since 1985. And it was a big night for teenagerjude bellingham he came on to become englands third youngest player aged 17 years and 136 days old. Elsewhere, wales v usa was goalless. One other football line, and the efl have reached an agreement with the premier league for a rescue package for leagues 1 and 2. The clubs in the third and fourth tiers of english football will receive a total of £50 million to help cover match day losses because of the coronavirus pandemic. The premier league is expected to reach a different agreement with some but not all championship clubs. After a seven month delay, the masters finally got under way at augusta yesterday but due to a delay because of bad weather, around half the field including the likes of rory mcilroy are yet to complete their first round. One man who did is Englands Paul Casey, who leads the way on seven under. After the rain cleared casey was one of a number to take advantage. This approach to the 11th green, his second hole of the day, brought him an eagle. Lee westwood is also well placed at four under the same score as defending champion tiger woods this approach on the par three 16th showing hes not going to let go of the green jacket easily. So, three shots behind casey, with the tournament being played behind closed doors. There are so many shots that are uphill here that we dont know where the ball ends up, so. Theres no fan reaction. We asked a few of the camera guys out there, you know, whered that ball end up . Cos we just dont know. So it is a very different world, but the fact that we were able to have a masters and be able to have this opportunity to compete for a green jacket is pretty amazing. Hull fc have moved to within one game of the Super League Grand final. They beat warrington in their playoff last night. Hull sneaked into the play offs with a late run of form, and they carried that momentum through against warrington. Jake connors late try sealing a 27 14 victory for hull in the latest play off, catalan dragons against leeds rhinos. |j in the latest play off, catalan dragons against leeds rhinos. I was talking to matt earlier, asking if he was superstitious. He said he wasnt, are you . I am. Its friday the 13th. I do the same little routines, get into habits and stick to them every morning.

No, i wouldnt wear the same ones every day, that wouldnt be allowed cassio would not have been habits. 0k friday the 13th doesnt bother you . Hadnt even thought about it today, thank you very much |j you . Hadnt even thought about it today, thank you very much i put it in your head. Thanks. Tonight marks 40 years since the launch of children in need, and although the fundraising events might be a bit different this year, the donations are still vital. All this week weve been looking at some of ways the money is being used to help people. Ffion and coel lost their dad just over a year ago. John maguire has been to meet them to find out how one charity has been supporting them. I like coming out here cos its my dads favourite place to go. Chris used to love coming up here as a child, and he used to walk up here and used to run the route regular because he lived in abertridwr and he wanted to come up here with the kids. Its been just over a year since chris morgan a husband and father took his own life. Wed scattered his ashes up here for us to have a walk to remember him so we can go somewhere where he enjoyed to be. Sharon, coel and ffion have had to cope with their sudden and tragic loss, as the world around them contracted and locked down. Its been difficult with lockdown. Weve. We havent had a family around as much as we could, so itsjust been the three of us, really. One of the hardest aspects since chris death has been those special occasions, such as birthdays and christmas. What are they like . Mm. Theyre 0k. We usually go to his grave. Cos you go through a period where everything you see normality is there, and its just in grasp. And then you get a first, and then it puts you right back to where you were and where the children were with their birthdays. Obviously, they were going on all right and then its their birthday and their dads not there. And its christmas, and their dads not there. Its. It was difficult for them. What about the page that talks about the things that you like doing with dad . What did you like . We liked playing on the playstation. 0n the playstation. Elaine robinson is from the unicorn service. Supported by money from children in need, its part of st davids hospice care and works with bereaved children. Elaine has been helping ffion and coel. These memory books encourage the children to open up and to talk about their dad. It says, if i could whisper something to dad now, what would it be . I said, youre amazing and i love you and i miss you. Ah. I was very upset, but then she helped me and im happier. And how does she help you . Well, as you see, we done the remembrance book, and we just talk about my feelings and stuff like that. We talk about happy times, sad times like, i mix between all of them. A person who knows what its like. They know what it feels like to be sad for someone to die. You cant undo this experience. You cant rub it out and pretend it hasnt happened. Being able to talk about it and being very open about how theyre feeling, about whats happened, helps them learn to process it, maybe, and helps them to find ways of coping with it. And thats hopefully what the service and the support helps us to do. Theyve come on amazingly, compared to where they were and circumstances that we found ourselves in. Theyve come on in leaps and bounds with the counselling, and theyve opened up more. Coel, whereas he was quite insular to begin with he wouldnt talk to anybody, was very, very quiet whereas now hes back to his happy, bubbly little self. Nothing can bring chris back, but the support the family is receiving is helping them to cope with life after his death. John maguire, bbc news, caerphilly. And, again, so important to hear from families, because it makes very clear where this money goes and how it helps. They are having to deal with something that they should never have to deal with, but they are, and on top of which they allowed cameras to see that happen and that will be a huge lift to other people who may be in similar situations or not, they can still ta ke situations or not, they can still take inspiration from it. Its remarkable. If you want to donate to this years children in need appeal, heres how you do it. This years children in need programme is on bbc one tonight from 7pm. We will be talking to chris ramsey, who will be involved in that. Well find out whats going on, there will be no massive studio audience and things like that, but im sure it will be fun. Matt will make the weather fun, because look at this picture that is a beauty. weather fun, because look at this picture that is a beauty. I will try to make it better, at least. Very good morning. You promised now i have. It is wet out there for some but there is some sunshine on the rise and we will see a bit of sunshine at times through this afternoon. 0ne sunshine at times through this afternoon. One or two showers dotted around to the west. 0nce afternoon. One or two showers dotted around to the west. Once you have got rid of the heavy rain. There is more cloud, more clumps of clouds gathering on the horizon of the atla ntic gathering on the horizon of the atlantic as we move towards the weekend. This is a clearer slot after the cloud which brings the rain this morning. The rain is edging to the eastern parts of scotland, it has cleared wales, the west of england, the midlands. An hour or so worth of heavy rain, with some particularly intense to gusts of wind. It will push to east anglia, south east around eight or 9am, before gradually easing by the end of the morning itself. Sunny skies will follow. We are already there in the west as the sun is about to approach the horizon a few showers dotted in the afternoon and a stiff breeze but not as strong winds this afternoon as across eastern areas this morning. Comparatively mild for the time of year, ten to 14 degrees, tempered by the strength of that win at times. This evening and overnight, start the night dry, particularly central and eastern areas. Cloud increases in the night for the southend west and we will see outbreaks of rain develop. Fairly erratic, the rain, pushing northward and eastward. 0n and off but. Temperatures from falling away too much tonight. Single figures, coldest of all around the north east of scotland. The weekend, be prepared for windy conditions and further rain at times. Probably saturday the cloudier st of the two days. An area of low pressure to the west, weather fronts pushing up from the south, all combining forces across the uk to produce the wet and windy weather. The cloud, probably best broken in the morning to the north east of scotland, some sunshine here, a few glimpses to the south east of england but overall outbreaks of rain pushing northward and eastward. The odd heavy best mixed drier moments, as well, and winds will strengthen. Quite the mail today tomorrow, even with the strengthening wind. Probably feeling milder than it does today. Quite milder than it does today. Quite mild tomorrow. The pressure to the west, clu m ps mild tomorrow. The pressure to the west, clumps of cloud, weather fronts pushing on the southern edge and that will bring heavy rain to the south and east first thing on sunday morning. A scattering of showers, longer spells of rain mixed m, showers, longer spells of rain mixed in, pushing northward and eastward. A better chance of sunshine between the showers. The winds will be stronger on sunday across southern areas, could top 50, maybe 60 mph gusts. After a very mild start, turning bit bit fresher later but there will be some sunshine at times this weekend and indeed today. Saturday probably cloudier stuff all. Thats how its looking. Despite the weather you always make it better, matt. Itry despite the weather you always make it better, matt. I try my best. Look at me, being lovely to you. know. Im nervous again. Laughter the lockdown forced many people back on their bikes for the first time, and now councils in england are set to receive more funding for cycle lanes and socially distanced pavements. As not the first time cyclist, but as someone who got back on their bike, this is welcome news because i am so nervous on the roads. The department for transport is giving them a further £175 million of funding initially announced in may, but many motorists say the new lanes are causing more harm than good. 0ur transport correspondent tom burridge reports. More road space for cyclists. I feel really safe, and i never did beforehand, so, yeah, i love it. Im new to cycling. For me its brilliant because i wouldnt go on the roads. But less room for motorists. We got too many people driving cars, driving cabs, driving lorries. Were not even back in any sort of major recovery yet god knows what its going to be like when everybody does come back. The Prime Minister is passionate about cycling. His advisers are on a crusade to get councils to take really radical steps. But in places, it hasnt been a complete success. Here in welwyn garden city, cyclists now have an entire lane. Its going to cause chaos at rush hour in the town. So do i think it was good . Yes and no. This is a great example a main link down into the town centre in a place where most people get around in a bus or by car. And, as you can see, half of this road now is dedicated to cyclists. When the pandemic hit, the government decided to revolutionise our roads. It does cause a lot of traffic at the traffic lights. If anything, the only cyclists that i have seen over the bridge have been cycling on the pavement and Councils Like hertfordshire have been competing for government funding. I personally think its a very positive thing a, for road safety. Especially if youre riding with children, etc. I was driving along here the other day, and this old woman clearly did not know that she wasnt meant to be driving in the cycle lane, and she was driving along it on her own, as well. So i think for people like her, its not a good thing. People are not going to go shopping on their cycle. Itsjust not going to happen. This is muddled thinking. This is a war on the motorist. And, frankly, if you want to look at this politically, its a vote loser. But in parts of our biggest cities, the cycling experience really has improved. This liverpool councillor got back on her bike during lockdown. The reason im really passionate about this is because its completely changed how i travel. So ordinarily i would have just popped into my car for a shortjourney. Now i willjump on my bike. Some pop up cycle lanes like this one are being removed, but if many more people cycle, it will cut congestion, improve air quality and our health as we peddle along. Tom burridge, bbc news. Youre watching breakfast. Still to come this morning. Its that time of year again. Christmas might look a bit different but the adverts are back to try to convince us to part with our cash. Well be talking to one retail boss. So much money is spent on these Advertising Campaigns but i suppose one of the things we will look at is retailers have got challenging times, as well. Manyjob losses have been announced. We are talking to one of the bosses from john lewis because that is the latest advert. All of that and how you balance it on to the message isnt all about buying. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im sonja jessup. New Research Suggests one in four londoners would be reluctant to be vaccinated against coronavirus once an effective vaccine becomes available. The London AssemblyHealth Comittee study found almost half of those said they either didnt trust government guidance or drug companies. The Committee Says a lack of uptake could stop any vaccine being effective and is calling for a campaign to reassure londoners. The mayors announced plans to give black londoners a greater role in monitoring the met police and training new recruits to try to improve trust. Sadiq khans announced the move after concerns were raised about the use of force and stop and search. City hall says the met commissioner has acknowledged that racism exists within the force and wants to work with black communities to make changes. Children in need is back tonight celebrating 40 years. And rewind to 1987, heres ann wild, who went on to become a five time paralympian and wheelchair basketball athelete. She says children in need made a huge difference to her. Even then, i knew the value and how grateful i was for the help that i got with the chair. It actually opened up a door to me that wouldnt have been opened otherwise ijust literally wouldnt have been able to get into the school. Able to get into the sport. And then, you know, when i was able to get into the sport, i flew from there and, well, i was so lucky five paralympics later, here i am. You can hear more from anns on bbc londons1. 30 and 6. 30 programmes later. And details for how to donate to children in need are on your screen now. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. The central line has minor delays between leytonstone and white city because of a signal failure. Also the metropolitan is running 0k but its not stopping at Northwick Park at the moment. This is how the north circular looks, one lane blocked westbound at bowes road for works. And a broken down vehicle has blocked two lanes on the m25 anticlockwise between junction 16 for the m40 and junction 15 for the m4. Now the weather with Elizabeth Rizzini. Hello, good morning. Its looking very unsettled over the next few days or so, so wet and windy at times, especially at the weekend. But today, not so bad. Its a mostly dry early start, bit of brightness out towards the east. Thickening cloud and a few spots of drizzle, particularly towards the west. Theres an approaching cold front thats going to be pushing its way eastwards through the mid to the late morning. Its quite a windy day the winds will pick up as we see that heavy rain come through. Just a short period of possibly quite heavy rain and then its all clear by lunchtime. Some sunny spells through the afternoon, the wind veers a bit more westerly. Top temperatures today of 12 or 13 degrees celsius. Now, through this evening and overnight, its mostly dry at first with plenty of cloud, some outbreaks of rain through the small hours of tomorrow morning, and, again, its a mild start to the weekend. Tomorrows going to feel even milder still, with the temperatures starting to climb, but wet and really very windy, as well strong gusts of wind, some spells of rain throughout the day. The winds could strengthen further on sunday. Again, therell be some heavy downpours at times. Theres more from me in half an hour. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today. One of the most controversial figures in british politics, Dominic Cummings, says hell leave downing street before christmas. Lockdown restrictions in Northern Ireland have been extended for another week, a day before they were due to expire. Scotland have finally done it. They can celebrate qualifying, for a first mens major tournament in 22 years, after a dramatic win over serbia on penalties. Left out and still left behind. People excluded from the governments support schemes speak out as new Research Finds the majority of self employed workers have lost more than a quarter of their income. It is pretty wet and windy foursome at the moment that the rain will be short lived, the sunshine will come at and short lived, the sunshine will come atand a short lived, the sunshine will come at and a few showers in the west later. Details later. And well hear from joe wicks as he nears the end of his 24 hour work out for children in need. I think he is up to our 22 of his 24 hour work out for children in need. Its friday, the 13th of november. Our top story. The Prime Ministers most Senior Adviser, Dominic Cummings, is to leave downing street by christmas. The confirmation of his departure comes amid reports of internal tensions in number ten. Lets speak now to our political correspondent, leila nathoo, who joins us from westminster. So, there is no question, Dominic Cummings has been a very significant figure in british politics, and his role, what we know about his departure . Good morning. Dominic cummings is framing this as something he always intended to do, he is referring back to his blog post back injanuary he is referring back to his blog post back in january where he is referring back to his blog post back injanuary where he said that he intended to make himself largely redundant within a year because he wanted to hire a whole new team of people into downing street. I dont think the implication then was that he was going to leave, more that he might have had a more focused role. What has happened since then is clearly a shift in the balance of power in number 10 because Dominic Cummings and his ally lee cain, his director of communications, they had been brought into downing street from the vote leave campaign, thats where they got to know borisjohnson. They we re they got to know borisjohnson. They were brought into downing street and have been close to borisjohnson since then, his closest aides, crucial in getting britain out of the eu and winning the general election. They have been a Critical Force into government but there have been tensions, factional fighting, personality clashes which have bubbled over. Lee cain has now departed as the Prime Ministers director of communications, Dominic Cummings has clearly been weakened by the loss of his ally and he says that he will now go as well. That will be by the end of the year. This isa will be by the end of the year. This is a major moment, i think, in Boris Johnsons leadership, marking a departure from everything that has come and happened so far. Lots of people in government, parts of government, part of the tory party had increasingly come to see that very small group of advisers as more ofa very small group of advisers as more of a liability rather than an asset to the Prime Minister. There will certainly be those who will welcome the departure of Dominic Cummings and his team and hope for a new direction from number 10 downing st. Thank you. A significantjump in the daily confirmed cases of coronavirus in the uk has led to increasing concerns about the growth of the virus. More than 33,000 new cases were recorded yesterday, a rise of almost 46 in a day. But some experts warn against reading too much into one days data. Simonjones reports. Schoolchildren in liverpool get tested as part of the citywide trial offering checks to everyone to try to stop the spread of the virus. Yeah, definitely worth doing. You know, obviously, we have to keep safe because you dont want to get coronavirus. So obviously, especially in a big school, you dont want it to spread. There were 33,470 new Coronavirus Infections recorded in the uk in the latest 24 hour period. Thats a Record Number, though Testing Capacity has increased greatly since the first wave. The average number of new cases per day in the past week is now 23,857. Its important to look at the number of cases reported over a number of days and not just take one day in isolation. But its clear that infection rates have been going up, as ive shown you. And whats really important is to get those infection rates down. Thats what will reduce deaths, its what will reduce the pressure on hospitals. Its just over a week since the second lockdown came into force across england with the hope that things will get better before christmas. The streets are certainly quieter, but one theory for a rise in daily confirmed cases is that people took the opportunity for a last night out before lockdown. And because of a delay in getting symptoms and then getting tested, its only now feeding through to the figures. The prospect of a vaccine remains tantalisingly close. 0n question time, the Health Secretary said if its approved, the government is ready to roll it out early next month. But it wont be an easy task. This thing isnt a chemical thats made. This is biological. Then it arrives and you have to keep it at minus 70, and then you have to distribute it and itll be a huge effort from the nhs. But while the wait goes on, the message is its vitalfor anyone with symptoms to continue to get tested. Qr code, please. Simon jones, bbc news. New cycle lanes and more socially distanced pavements could be introduced as councils in england receive more money from the government to support active travel. The department for transport is offering a further £175 million of funding that was initially announced in may. Measures that were introduced during the first lockdown provoked a mixed response, with some tory mps and Motorists Group saying they created problems. Barack 0bama has accused Senior Republicans of undermining democracy, by going along with president trumps refusal to admit that he lost last weeks election. The bbc has now projected mr biden the winner of arizona, granting him 11 more Electoral College votes. Senior officials from the department of Homeland Security have said the election was the most secure in us history. Speaking to the cbs programme 60 minutes, mr0bama said president trumps allegations were motivated by his dislike of losing. They appear to be motivated in part because the president does not like to lose and never admits loss. Im more troubled by the fact that other republican officials who clearly know better are going along with this, are humouring him in this fashion. It is one more step in delegitimising notjust the Incoming Biden Administration but democracy in general. Those are the main story this morning, seven minutes past seven. Lets have a chat with matt about the weather. Also whats going on, some really heavy rain locally here. Yes, just clearing now. There is a pretty wet weather working its way eastwards, but it will be short lived, the sunshine will come out, a few showers in the west later in the day. If you are sitting in the rain band at the moment and it is raining heavily, bear with it, band at the moment and it is raining heavily, bearwith it, it band at the moment and it is raining heavily, bear with it, it will move on. Its only about an hour or so worth of rain, pushing eastwards, it has cleared wales, western scotland and Northern Ireland, a few showers here. The rain band will go across Eastern England over the next few hours, clearing away from eastern scotla nd hours, clearing away from eastern scotland exception being shetland, and it will be to the south east corner by lunchtime. And then sunny spells for many into the afternoon, best of the sunshine in eastern parts. A keen breeze, strongest at the moment but easing down a little bit, still blustery enough to bring showers across western scotland and Northern Ireland throughout the day. A few showers in the western half of england and wales, many places in central and Eastern England will be dry across the afternoon, temperatures 11 to 14 degrees. A little up on what we should be for the time of year. This evening and overnight, dry and clear in northern and eastern areas, cloud increases, outbreaks of rain pushing their way in. A developing breeze and stopping it getting too cold, coldest vesting and then getting milder later on in the night. Ill start to the weekend, cloud and on a few occasions on the weekend, very windy in the south. After days of stalled negotiations and political wrangling, Northern Irelands executive has agreed a compromise to extend coronavirus restrictions for another week. The current rules were due to expire at midnight tonight, with ministers under pressure to make a decision. Lets speak now to our ireland correspondent, chris page, who joins us from belfast. Good morning, charlie. From the Cathedral Quarter in belfast city centre, this is the heart of belfasts night life, and of bars, restau ra nt, belfasts night life, and of bars, restaurant, hotels, pubs, but for the last four weeks they have all been closed apart from Takeaway Services because of the coronavirus restrictions. There have been four days of talking involving politicians in the five parties that make up the power sharing devolved government in Northern Ireland. The talking was often tetchy but eventually last night they struck a deal of sorts. The restrictions will be extended for a week but after that, cafe and restaurants that do not serve alcohol will be able to reopen and the rest of the in Hospitality Industry will be opening in two weeks. So non licensed places next friday, everywhere else, the friday that. I am joined by harry crawford, a company which is a major food supply to businesses like hotels and businesses like restau ra nts. Hotels and businesses like restaurants. What you make the decision . First and foremost, the fa ct decision . First and foremost, the fact that they have made a decision is clarity which means we dont have to get any stock over the next two weeks. Thats fine but we need to look towards how we reopen and kick start the economy and hospitality sector again. What has business been like for you for the last month . Our Customer Base is primarily the hotel sector, more the upperend and primarily the hotel sector, more the upper end and restaurants, gastro pubs. So we have lost 95 of our turnover over the last four weeks. You had thought you might be opening this weekend but because of the last minute nature of the decision, that hasnt happened . Thats right. We had to press a button and procure some Fresh Produce in case the sector did open this weekend, we expected a bit of a bouncer so we have bought perishable products back into stock but we are not doing business is weak. Finally, christmas is not that far away, the whole hospitality sector will be opening up, how do you feel about the future . The executive first and foremost need to make sure that the public feel safe and they should feel safe because the hotel sector and our Customer Base have done plenty, spent their own money and resources to make people feel safe. That needs communicating from the executive and getting away from the fear factor. Thank you for coming in for us so early, good to hear your thoughts. Another group of businesses which are affected, Close Contact Services like headdresses which have been chat will be also able to open next friday like hairdressers. In Northern Ireland, and across the uk, mass testing is being promoted by Public Health bosses as a way of helping to safely ease the current lockdown restrictions. In liverpool, more than 80,000 people have been tested since a pilot was rolled out in the city a week ago. Lets find out how its been going from the citys mayor, joe anderson. Thank you for your time this morning. So, how many people have been tested . We are looking at a population of half a million in liverpools city centre. Yeah, there has been 90,000 people tested so far. And thats since last friday, 12pm we started the process. We now have 38 testing centres across the city, so we are still rolling them out, we hope to get by monday up to around 45 testing centres that will be accessible across the city. So we are pleased with the figures, we are encouraging people to still get tested, we want people to get tested twice during the period that we have got the testing centres here, which is for about a month. We have a 430 people have tested positive, which means that they are now self isolating and not spreading the virus, which is the purpose, to break the chain of the virus. So we are pleased with the take up but of course we want more and more people to continue to come along, walk income to get tested and get done. Of the 430 people who tested positive, where they showing symptoms . Some work, around about 200 were showing symptoms and they have had pcr tests, so whether you apply to go online or go into the walk in centre, when you go to the centre you are asked if you have got symptoms, if you do, you get a pcr test, if you have not, you get a lateral flow test which takes about 15 minutes to do. And then you wait an hourand get 15 minutes to do. And then you wait an hour and get it back. Thats how we separate it. In total, there are about 430 we think who have tested positive so far. So, 90,000 have been tested, 90,000 people, not 90,000 tests, correct . 90,000 people have been tested, yes. Sojust 90,000 tests, correct . 90,000 people have been tested, yes. So just under one in five of the liverpool city population. Is that what you expected, were you hoping for more take up, or has it gone beyond expectations . Im just trying to get a feel from you about how willing people are to come forward and be tested, how willing they are to embrace this idea of mass testing. We think it is a positive, we think its really good that this many have turned up. Its above my expectations, i thought it would be a bit lower than that. Its because we have been rolling these centres out. Dont forget, since friday, this has been a huge logistical exercise for us. As i said to get this number of centres actually up and running with the armed forces placing them in place, but also we have sent out, just by way of information, we have sent out 14,000, as of yesterday morning. So more again during yesterday, of postal kit tests. I think it will be around 34,000 of those that we will have sent out by monday of next week. Some people are receiving postal tests as well. We have 11 centres set up in schools across the city, which is good because it means that we are identifying Teaching Staff but also pupils who have the virus. Its all voluntary, of course, no one is being forced to ta ke course, no one is being forced to take the test. I suppose that is an interesting point in itself, there are some people who say, its pointless being tested, its inefficient because i could catch the virus ten minutes after getting a negative result. Unless i am continually tested, it is not going to make a difference. Its interesting that you say that people are not being forced to to take the test. But if the ambition is that eve ryo ne test. But if the ambition is that everyone is tested, they will have to be some instruction, surely, than it needs to be done. I think we are encouraging people to have two tests, every week or every seven or eight days, wherever they feel, around that time. I dont think it is fairto around that time. I dont think it is fair to say that people can get. Of course people can get infected if they go out and mix with people. But if you look at those numbers which we have had identified, around 430 positive tests, those people are self isolating. I had a father of three children, his three children tested positive so they didnt mix with their grandparents and they didnt go to school. Thats a positive for us, thats a great result in terms of its tops that spread. So 430 people are not spreading the virus. It means we can break the chain of infection. We need to look at it, since we have been into tier 3 . 680 people per 100,000 were positive in the city. We have now got the infection rate, the r rate down to 300 per 100,000. So infection rate, the r rate down to 300 per100,000. So that infection rate, the r rate down to 300 per 100,000. So that is a positive move and positive step for us. The overall aim is to reduce the admissions into our hospitals which is also now starting to come down, so we are pleased with the way things are going. We think it will have an impact. Joe anderson, mayor of liverpool, thank you for talking to us this morning on breakfast. Really interesting how that is working in liverpool at the moment. Everything is linked at the moment, you can see what we have got behind us, we are talking about christmas and the shops. Controlling the virus is directly related to whether people will spend. Its become a christmas tradition for retailers, spending big money on festive adverts. But with christmas looking very different this year, how much are they having to change their approach . Thejohn lewis advert has been released this morning, and this year its inspired by the kindness of the british public. Lets have a look. Sighs of all the things to be i choose the kindness and if you give some to me i think we find ourselves dancing in the street everyone we meet will smile a little daydream it could be amazing wouldnt it be wonderful if everybody gave a little love . The haunting, beautiful tones of celeste singing. We can now talk to pippa wicks who is executive director atjohn lewis. We have just seen the film, lets talk about that. When you are looking at your brief around the atmosphere at the moment, he wanted to do business, thats fair enough. But wanting to be doing something in keeping with how people were feeling, what is the thinking behind that . Good morning. Ithink feeling, what is the thinking behind that . Good morning. I think we have to do something which is really appropriate to how we are feeling at the moment, its been a very tough yearfor the moment, its been a very tough year for everybody. Many people are isolated, now in the Second Period of isolation and lots of people need support and help in all sorts of different ways. We wanted to have a message out there about thinking about others, reaching out to others and helping families and people in need. That was the zeitgeist, the philosophy around the brief, if you like. And then there is business. And it is a very difficult environment right now, and for you, looking at christmas, this would be the time of year when you would be hoping people would be spending a lot of money. Can you give us a snapshot of how you see things in the run up to christmas now . M snapshot of how you see things in the runup to christmas now . It was really interesting, christmas for us started back in august, believe it or not. We saw on our online website, we do a lot of business through that and we will come back to that, a 300 uplift of people searching for christmas items so we opened our christmas online store about 14 days earlier this year than in previous years. We are fortunate to bea in previous years. We are fortunate to be a multichannel business so that when our shops are closed as they are at the moment, people can shop with us through our Online Business as well, which in the first half of the year was up 73 year on year. So we are now 60, 70 online, particularly in these lockdown moments. It is a very rich experience on our website, you can have a Virtual Class on how to dress your christmas tree, lovely ways to make wreaths that we are helping people with, lots of virtual events, cooking, food, wine tasting, try to bring thatsince of christmas to people in their homes. Its really interesting, isnt it, because you are facing the public and you are trying to encourage business but at the same time just trying to look at the same time just trying to look at thejohn the same time just trying to look at the john lewis partnership, the same time just trying to look at thejohn lewis partnership, you have been hit as many businesses have been, your staff will not receive a bonus for the First Time Since 1953, there has been a loss in profits, a drop in profits, and you are cutting eight stores and jobs are at risk as well, there will be job losses, around £5 5000 in total. How do you relate this kind of spending on advertising with the may many of your staff will be feeling in terms of insecurity and knowing that these are straitened times as well . These are straitened times as well . These are straightened times for everyone including our partners who have worked amazingly all year to make sure that customers have what they needin sure that customers have what they need in terms of product and service and it is regrettable, whenever you try and turn around the fortunes of business, there are costs to be cut, it is regrettable. But we are trying to look after them in a humane way and support them through the changes that we have to make in the business and we have to make these changes in order to make the business strong for the future. If we dont, we will continue to have a downward trajectory in profits and thats not what anybody wants, people want to be part of a growing business and thatis be part of a growing business and that is what we are looking to restore the fortunes ofjohn lewis partnership. Did your advertising budget to take a cut in line with the wait staff numbers were being cut and profits are down . The brand is one of our most precious assets, our two brands, john lewis and waitrose, we need to invest in them and advertising is one of the ways we invest in those brands and make sure they are front of mind for the british consumer. There are many other ways that we have to live our brand today and we are strengthening the business in order to do that and that does include some cost reductions that we are making because we have to make these cost reductions so we can invest in the future. Thats what we have got to do. We are supporting our partners as best we can. We never declare how much we spend on our advertising, we spent an awful lot less this year, we use 13 different creative people to help us to do these ads together so it much needing earnings for them as well it brought much needed earnings for them as well because we know the Creative Industry has been stuck. But we are hoping to raise £5 million for home start and fairshare, that will hopefully help lots of families in christmas and beyond. This advert is notjust for christmas, it is setting our stall out being strong from here. christmas, it is setting our stall out being strong from here. If i may, one last thing, you are all in this together in a way, in terms of retail and the business you are in. We have been talking about your advert but a lot of other companies are trying to keep going as you are, also putting out their ads at this time. Its a tricky but important moment for all sorts of industries who are trying to sell things. Yes, it is. And all retailers are having to do whatever they need to do, cut costs, reshape, less stores, more online. The world has changed, in five months, we have moved forward five years from a retail perspective and the world has moved on, retailers need to move on with that world otherwise they will find themselves in increasing difficulty and that will include ourselves, we have to be relevant and multichannel. Thank you very much for that. Just at the end, you are seeing a number of the other christmas ads, you will start seeing them on screens, morrisons, number of them. They all have kindness. That is the theme which is running through that. There is that whole argument about when you go for christmas, do you go early, late, i dont care about that argument. Its that good feeling that they bring, a little bit of joy. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im sonja jessup. New Research Suggests one in four londoners would be reluctant to be vaccinated against coronavirus, once an effective vaccine becomes available. The London AssemblyHealth Committee study found almost half of those said they either didnt trust government guidance, or drug companies. The Committee Says a lack of uptake could stop any vaccine being effective. The mayors announced plans to give black londoners a greater role in monitoring the met police and training new recruits, to try to improve trust. Sadiq khans announced the move after concerns were raised about the use of force, and stop and search. City hall says the met commissioner has acknowledged that racism exists within the force, and wants to work with black communities to make changes. Children in need is back tonight, celebrating 40 years. And rewind for a moment to 1987, where we find ann wild, who went on to become a five time pa ralympian and wheelchair basketball athlete. She says children in need made a huge difference to her. Even then, i knew the value and how grateful i was for the help that i got with the chair. It actually opened up a door to me that wouldnt have been opened otherwise ijust literally wouldnt have been able to get into the sport. And then, you know, when i was able to get into the sport, i flew from there and, well, i was so lucky five paralympics later, here i am. You can hear more from ann on bbc londons1. 30 and 6. 30 programmes later. And details for how to donate to children in need are on your screen now. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. The central line has severe delays between leytonstone and white city because of a signal failure. Also the metropolitan line is running ok, but its not stopping at Northwick Park. This is how the north circular looks. 0ne lane is blocked westbound at bowes road for works. And a broken down vehicles blocked two lanes on the m25 anticlockwise between junction 16 for the m40 and junction 15 for the m4. Now the weather with Elizabeth Rizzini. Hello, good morning. Its looking very unsettled over the next few days or so, so wet and windy at times, especially at the weekend. But today, not so bad. Its a mostly dry early start, bit of brightness out towards the east. Thickening cloud and a few spots of drizzle, particularly towards the west. Theres an approaching cold front thats going to be pushing its way eastwards through the mid to the late morning. Its quite a windy day the winds will pick up as we see that heavy rain come through. Just a short period of possibly quite heavy rain and then its all clear by lunchtime. Some sunny spells through the afternoon, the wind veers a bit more westerly. Top temperatures today of 12 or 13 degrees celsius. Now, through this evening and overnight, its mostly dry at first with plenty of cloud, some outbreaks of rain through the small hours of tomorrow morning, and, again, its a mild start to the weekend. Tomorrows going to feel even milder still, with the temperatures starting to climb, but wet and really very windy, as well strong gusts of wind, some spells of rain throughout the day. The winds could strengthen further on sunday. Again, therell be some heavy downpours at times. Theres more from me in an hour. Dont forget children in need tonight from 7 just after bbc london news. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. The time is 7 30am. One of the most controversial figures in british politics, Dominic Cummings, is expected to leave downing street by christmas. The confirmation of his departure comes amid reports of internal tensions in number 10. Lets speak now to the transport secretary, grant shapps. Very good morning to you. Could i get your reaction to the confirmation that Dominic Cummings will be leaving his role by christmas . Im not particularly surprised because he wrote at the beginning of the year that he planned to make himself redundant by the end of the year with brexit and the end of the year with brexit and the transition period finally over, and some of the work which then developed, of course, as we got into the year and things like mass testing and the roll out of those programmes, which we have now seen successfully starting to be implemented in liverpool and it will be pushed out wider. Im not particularly surprised. Advisers come and go. What difference does it make . He was always someone who would shake things up, he didnt ta ke would shake things up, he didnt take things just because theyd been done that way that they couldnt be done that way that they couldnt be done any other way. It is always good to have people who challenge the system and challenge the way things are done. Hes obviously been very influential in that way. A lot of people misunderstand. Advisers advise, Prime Minister and ministers decide, and there are many occasions when advice will be given but it is not the path that will be followed. It is always good and to have people with fresh ideas and he brings a lot of that. Some people listening to this and thinking about it from the outside, in a way, is that. How can he have it both ways . We were given the impression he was very influential, was a key part of how borisjohnson influential, was a key part of how Boris Johnson thought. Influential, was a key part of how borisjohnson thought. If influential, was a key part of how Boris Johnson thought. If that was the case, and that is what we were led to believe, i think, departure is very significant, which means that he, and lee cain, who is also leaving, head of communications, if they were important then, there leaving equally signifies something at the heart of government. leaving equally signifies something at the heart of government. I dont wa nt to at the heart of government. I dont want to underplay or overplay what youve just want to underplay or overplay what youvejust said. I am want to underplay or overplay what youve just said. I am asking for some kind of insight. People who are reading the newspaper reports saying, this is a significant moment, a decision by borisjohnson, however that has come about, that he is going to be following a very different path. This is the visible sign of it. Yeah. I was going to say, look, there are lots of big things happening, and there . That are crucial to this countrys future from the roll out of mass vaccines. Sorry, the roll out of mass attesting to the great news about vaccines we have seen this week to how we get students home at christmas and all of those things. They matter to people day to day. Then you have whos in, whos out of the downing street advisory machine. Asi the downing street advisory machine. As i was the same, i dont want to say that, you know, people who have been key to some of what the government have been doing on those programmes and efforts to get mass testing going or indeed brexit itself, isnt important. I wouldnt say that. On the other hand, its very important to know that the Prime Minister, and borisjohnson has always taken advice from a very wide range of people, and doesnt a lwa ys wide range of people, and doesnt always side with the same people at the end of that Decision Making process and i have seen that many times over the last year, 18 months in government. Which is the way it should be. Gather people around, have them gather advice, give advice, but ministers are elected to make decisions. The cabinet and the Prime Minister have always done that. If i can Prime Minister have always done that. If can ask Prime Minister have always done that. If i can ask you is specific to brexit, and a lot of people will link Dominic Cummings to brexit, what changed there in relation to how this affects government . The simple fact is we have already left the eu after the election and the transition period itself comes to an end on the 31st of december. That job is done or is going to be done seven or eight weeks, on the 1st of january. There is a sort of natural moment here which Dominic Cummings himself wrote about some months ago, saying hisjob would probably be largely done around this time. I just think about all the things that idoin my just think about all the things that i do in my daily work and it is so far removed from i know what is an obsession with who is or isnt advising in downing street. Much of which doesnt change. We have Big Decisions this week for example on the stonehenge tunnel or the road at grice beck or the north devon road link. Viewers in the areas affected by these schemes should be far more interested in those Big Decisions andindeed interested in those Big Decisions and indeed the cycling and active travel announcement im making this morning of £175 million. These are things which will actually have an impact on peoples daily lives, along with things like mass testing and a vaccine and i think those i think most people are actually focused on rather than brexit. Point well made and you are absolutely right that people are focusing in now i think you used the word a moment ago aboutjobs being done. So when we look at that coronavirus testing, we see a Record Number of people testing positive in the uk. It has gone up in a huge leap. These are the latest statistics. Something is going wrong with the plan. I think it is one of the reasons that we have to. We had great news on a Mass Testing Programme and vaccines. It is one of the reasons we have to curb our enthusiasm for a moment while we wait for those schemes to get wide enough that we can kind of present the double whammy to the virus of hitting it both with mass testing and the vaccine to get on top of it. It is almost certainly the case that the fact we are doing so much testing is revealing where cases are, which is a good thing. Remember, people said it couldnt be done. 0ver remember, people said it couldnt be done. Over 500,000 tests per day available. Forgive me, mr shapps. That was the same as of four days ago or six days ago about the number of tests available. What we saw yesterday was a huge rise in the number of cases. Yeah, i mean, youve got to. Clearly you are going to find my cases but it is also the case, as indeed the chief medical officer and the chief scientific adviser were warning us, that we will see this upward trajectory because whenever the reproductive value, the r value is above one, it will carry on growing and unfortunately it means it will carry on until we get to the r value below. It is critically important that we all stick by the rules of this lockdown and the rules of wherever you are in the uk to make sure we are not spreading this virus around whilst, at the same time, we know that the sort of cavalry is coming in the form of mass testing and vaccine, but in the meantime this is a very, very solid reminder that we have to do the basics in the meantime to prevent this spreading further. Mr shapps, one of the explanations being put forward is, in that window of time, when people knew the National Lockdown was coming, frankly everybody went and saw people. They got in their cars and went driving to see people they knew they wouldnt be able to see for a while. Do you think there was a mistake there . There seems to be a correlation between a moment then and the cases we are seeing now. Yeah, i mean, look, iwill leave us to the epidemiologists to tell us. What i can say is that we will see the rate of new cases showing around the rate of new cases showing around the 20,000 mark, 20,000 to 25,000 mark for quite a while. We have had this big number yesterday. We will wait for more numbers to see the exact trajectory. It is a reminder, hands, space, face, space. We have to follow the basics because there is no mystery about how this spreads. We know plenty about the disease now and it spreads when people are in a closing of contact for it to spread. That is it. There is no other science to it. So in a sense we know what we need to do to stop it from spreading whilst we wait for these other rescues, like the mass testing, which is going well in liverpool and it is being pushed out to a lot of other areas of the country, hundreds of thousands of these so called lateral flow tests being pushed out to other areas. So we can get to the point where you and i could take a test every couple of days to see whether or not we are infected, and then be able to go about our lives. That, together with the vaccine hope, of course, either ways we will get on top of this virus once and for all. And if you could just update us, there has been a lot of talk about quarantine, length of quarantine times. There was a suggestion it might be brought down. Where are we on that . Thats right. There are two parts. There is a quarantine that ta kes pla ce parts. There is a quarantine that takes place when you are called by nhs test and trace and asked to stay at home, and there is a bit ideal with which is the International Part where, if have travelled, and they are asked to quarantine or self isolate. We certainly want to reduce those periods of time through test and release scheme. I will be saying more certainly on the travel pa rt saying more certainly on the travel part of that very soon and i will be able to describe a system which would help to reduce the amount of time that people have to spend in quarantine as we look to get things going, as we get this mass testing going, as we get this mass testing going, as we get this mass testing going, as we get the vaccine going to come as well. Grant shapps, thank you. 7 40am is the time. Lets talk to mike. There are celebrations and commiserations like no other. We will concentrate on scotland. What a night for them. They have finally broken this hoodoo that has lasted for a generation. Friday the 18th of june next year, a day for your diary, scotland against england at wembley. Echoes of 1996. Its ten major tournaments that scotland have missed out on since they last got to a mens finals, a generation ago, in 1998. Ten previous managers have tried and failed but after all that pain their wait is over. On a night of nerve jangling drama, they beat serbia on penalties to reach the european championships. Scotland took the lead early in the second half in belgrade through Ryan Christie and appeared to be heading to next summers finals. But then fans were left thinking, here we go again, when in the 90th minute serbia equalised through real madrids luka jovich. The pressure was on, butjust like in their previous round against israel, scotland won on penalties. David marshall saving the tenth and last one from aleksandar mitrovic. Its been so long. Obviously, im a certain age, as well, that i can remember old tournaments and obviously weve not been in it for so, so long so, as i say, itsjust. Massive emotional feeling. Just delighted to be there. Probably not sunk in in terms of whats going to happen now. I think, as youve seen, i think Ryan Christie was in tears and it shows how much it means to the lads to get there. Obviously families, as well as fans who cant be here, so hopefully by next summer everybody can get the chance to go. And heres what happens in the dressing room when you finally end 22 years of heartache and missing out. The players said they were celebrating for the whole nation. Theyre unbeaten in nine. The teams twitter account also said its a boogie boogie woogie all night long. We hope whereever you are weve helped put a smile on your face in an otherwise difficult year. It wasnt to be for Northern Ireland however. 1,060 fans were at windsor park, all sprayed in a disinfecting pod before enterining the ground. But despite a late equalier to take it to extra time, michal duris won it for slovakia in the 110th minute. Absolute heartbreak, so close in extra time. England welcomed their latest young star onto the pitch as they beat the republic of ireland 3 0 in a friendly. Harry maguire captained the side, and opened the scoring. Jadon sancho and Dominic Calvert lewin then sealed englands win, a first over the republic since the mid eighties. But the real history was made by teenagerjude bellingham. He came on to become englands third youngest player, aged 17 years and 136 days old. Elsewhere wales v usa was goalless. Heavy rain and an electrical storm delayed the start of the re arranged masters at augusta not the spring weather theyre used to. Because of bad conditions, the weather, around half the field including the likes of rory mcilroy are yet to complete their first round. One man who did is Englands Paul Casey he leads the way on seven under. Casey was one of the players to take advantage once the rain cleared. This approach to the 11th green. His second hole of the day brought him an eagle. Lee westwood is also well placed at four under the same score as defending champion tiger woods. This approach on the par three16th showing hes not going to let go of the green jacket easily. So, three shots behind casey as the action continues with no fans present. It was interesting to hear from tiger saying that because there were no fans, when you get a long shot out of sight, you have no idea what kind of shot it is because you cant hear the oohs or the cheers so he ended up asking the tv crews quite the opposite to that was Bryson Dechambeau saying that he can take tiger lines. Pardon the pun. Because there are not crowds. The crowds are not in the way to stop. Dechambeau isnt doing too well, five of the pace. Thanks very much. The time is a 7 45am. Business news coming in at this morning. One of the countrys was notorious serial killers, Peter Sutcliffe, known as the yorkshire ripper, has died. He was aged 74 and had been suffering from covid 19. He has been said to have refused treatment. We understand he had a number of Underlying Health issues, including heart problems and diabetes. He died in hospital in County Durham after being admitted from nearby frankland top security prison where he was serving a whole life term. It was in 1981, sutcliffe was convicted of the murder of 13 women and the attempted murder of seven others will stop he carried out 11 killings in yorkshire and murdered two women in manchester. They were aged between 16 and 47. Those murders took place between 1975 and 1980. That news just coming through that one of the countrys most notary is serial killers, Peter Sutcliffe, known as the yorkshire ripper, has died at the age of 74 and he had been suffering from covid 19. He is said to have refused treatment for that. 746 am. More information on that as it comes in for us this morning. Throughout the pandemic weve been following the struggles for freelancers, contractors and self employed people who have been excluded from various Financial Support schemes. When we asked the business minister nadim zahawi about the fact that those people wouldnt be helped by the extension to furlough we had a huge response. Heres a reminder of what the minister had to say. Well, i think the self employed, the chancellor did the right thing to increase, as you quite rightly said, the amount that they are able to claim from 40 to 80 with the additional announcement on the furlough scheme extension. Im talking about those who have been excluded, though. On the excluded, these are people who have their own businesses, directors of their own businesses who would have taken dividends out of their businesses. They have clearly had a really difficult time and i completely understand that. But we have also put nine billion into the welfare system to try and help those people who have found it very difficult. So lots of people got in touch after that. Ben, youve been following some of their stories. These people who have been excluded, this is damaging beyond much comprehension. Yes. Good morning to eve ryo ne comprehension. Yes. Good morning to everyone at home. The stories we we re everyone at home. The stories we were done in her well here in a moment underline quite how tough it is for people who have fallen through the cracks. Its up to 3 Million People who are not getting the benefit of those Government Support schemes. The government pointing to the furlough scheme, which will be extended until march of next year. It has said it has offered more cash for self staff, as well. But all the while, up to 3 Million People say they do not qualify for a whole number of reasons and we will explain some of them injust a moment. First of reasons and we will explain some of them in just a moment. First of all, ta ke them in just a moment. First of all, take a listen to the stories of louise, kev and amy because it underlines how tough it is when you cant get the support. Im amy francis, im a carer, and i was excluded because i was within my first year of self employment. My business was going very well. I was fully booked, turning people away until covid hit. I assumed that i would get help from watching rishi sunak on bbc news on the briefings. He informed everybody that nobody would be left behind, that i would be able to claim universal credit. There would be grants available to claim. But unfortunately, because i was within my first year of self employment, i was unable to claim any of that. It was quite a hard time. We had to cut back on all ourfinances. I had to borrow money off family members. Im kev payne, im a former Primary School teacher turned illustrator. Im excluded as under 50 of my earnings came from illustration in 2018. When i first heard about the self employment support scheme, i was overjoyed. It had taken a little while for the self employed to be thought of, and i thought there was help at last. But then that joy turned to despair very quickly when i realised that actually i was going to be left behind. Ive saved enough money to pay my tax bill, which is due injanuary. But once thats been paid, then questions remain about my future. Its like a dark cloud that kind of looms over me. Im Louise Percival and im a child care provider. I have been excluded because my trading profits exceeded the £50,000 threshold. I furloughed my staff, i did the right thing. I did what borisjohnson asked me to do as an individual and as an employer. And i got nothing. I do understand the point that people might think that because my average trading profits exceeded the £50,000 cap over the last three years, that i should not be entitled to anything. But its taken me 18 years to achieve that within my business. I have put it, what i can, into a pension for my future because i dont have a pension. I dont work for some Big Organisation which pays 8 of a pension and i contribute 3 . Im a sole trader. Myjob is me. My business is me. It all comes through my creativity. And as part of my mind is filled with this worry and this anger and this sense of injustice, it means that ive been unable to concentrate fully on my work. Its definitely put a struggle on my life, my partners life, my familys life. Ive had to borrow money and nobody should be put in that position, especially when the government are giving out help and are choosing not to help people like me. So just three stories there of the near 3 Million People who it thoughtful through the cracks of those Government Support schemes. And in the words of kev, worry, angen and in the words of kev, worry, anger, injustice. All of the things many people are feeling because they dont qualify. There is also new research out today suggesting that those who are self employed are disproportionately affected. They have lost more of their income than those who are employed. And therefore even though these people have been working for themselves quite successfully through no fault of their own have seen a big slump in how much they are able to take home. We put all of those concerns to the government. They told us that it has supported millions of people through what it describes as an unprecedented support scheme. It says it has done as much as it can to help as many people as possible. The government says of those 3 million, they think the majority of them will have got some kind of help. Maybe furlough scheme, a local authority grant. Failing that they might have got some help through universal credit. Nonetheless, as you have heard, those three cases just really do underline how difficult it is for people who do work for themselves, who dont modify for that support in the same way other people might do. I should say we are really grateful to louise, kev and amy for sharing their stories because it is deeply personal button nonetheless something that many, many people will be going through right now. Thank you very much. We will keep asking those questions aboutjust how people are actually affected. Really interesting hearing those really personal accounts. 7 52am. We are late with the weather. Good morning. Rainfirst good morning. Rain first thing but some sunshine coming, i hope . There is indeed. Start with sunshine. Good morning. Beautiful skies behind me in Great Yarmouth but you know what they say about red sky in the morning. Here is a band of rain producing pretty wet weather at the moment, a short spell of rain, probably about an hour tops. Putting its weight with.

Quickly get going across scotland and Northern Ireland. 102 this afternoon into the west of england and wales. The strongest winds out there but they will still be a blustery afternoon especially across the north and west. Showers may just especially across the north and west. Showers mayjust get into eastern scotland given the strength of the wind. Around nine or 10 degrees. He was showers across england and wales. The eastern half of england, stein drained the afternoon temperatures around 13 or 14. Just have to deal with that speu 14. Just have to deal with that spell of wet feather. Tonight starts off dry, cloud increases, outbreaks off dry, cloud increases, outbreaks of rain developing here and there across the uk into the morning. Temperatures rising through the night into tomorrow morning to a male started the weekend. Saturday is fairly cloudy, rain coming and going, sunday a better of sunshine between the downpours, but it will between the downpours, but it will be especially windy on sunday across southern parts of the country.

Good morning. Welcome to breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Our headlines today the serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, known as the yorkshire ripper, has died in hospital after reportedly refusing treatment for coronavirus. The Prime Ministers most Senior AdviserDominic Cummings says hell leave downing street before christmas. Lockdown restrictions in Northern Ireland have been extended for another week a day before they were due to expire. Theyve done it. For the first since 1998, scotland can celebrate qualifying, for a first mens major tournament in 22 years, after a dramatic win over serbia on penalties. And some pretty wet and windy weather around at the moment but that will clear and turn to sunshine and showers. I will have the weekend forecast coming up. Its friday, the 13th of november. Our top story one of the countrys most notorious serial killers, Peter Sutcliffe, known as the yorkshire ripper, has died. Sutcliffe, who was 74, had been suffering from covid 19 where he is said to have refused treatment. He also had a number of Underlying Health issues including heart problems and diabetes. Danny savage reports on his life. He was one of the most prolific killers of the 20th century, Peter Sutcliffe, the yorkshire ripper. We knew we were dealing with a monster because of what he was doing. He would get behind them and hit them on the back of the head, a real whack. For six years, women across a large part of Northern England lived in fear that a serial killer was on the loose. No woman walking alone at night was safe. From 1975, until 1980, 13 women were killed by sutcliffe and he tried to murder several others. Went down the path on the back of the house, which we later discovered is where she was found. Thankfully it was dark and we were spared discovering mums body. Richards mother was the first victim. He was just five years old when she died. It devastated his young life and, for a long time, he wanted revenge against sutcliffe for the murder of his 28 year old mum. As a young teenager, i can remember with my sister, we planned, or we discussed her contacting him, befriending him, changing her name and then eventually going to visit him and then she was going to attack him. That was the thoughts we had and that is how angry we were back then. This was in halifax, where 19 Year Old Bank clerkjosephine whitaker was killed. Murder scenes were scattered across yorkshire and manchester. Iamjack. The Police Inquiry was famously led down a blind alley by hoax tapes from the man dubbed wearsidejack. He sent letters and tapes taunting the investigating officers. I have the greatest respect for you, george. It led to the conclusion that Peter Sutcliffe was not their man. There was one young detective, who said i interviewed a man today, and he fits the description, the photofit description. He has got bushy hair, a bushy beard and a gap in his teeth and he is a lorry driver. And one of the top table officers said. Is he a geordie . No, no. What is his name . He said, Peter Sutcliffe. Now, listen boys, Peter Sutcliffe. Peter sutcliffe is not the yorkshire ripper. So, sutcliffe carried on killing, although he was interviewed on numerous occasions. Colleagues at the haulage firm where he worked knew and used to joke about it. He was nicknamed the ripper. He used to answer to that sometimes, so it was rather. It was rather sort of. It is sad now, isnt it . Bizarrely, he was finally caught after being linked to a car with stolen numberplates. Weapons were found and, in early 1981, he confessed. That led to these extraordinary scenes in dewsbury, as the public turned out to voice their disgust. Sutcliffe was jailed for life. Anger, hatred and obsession were deemed the motives for his crimes. Few, if any, will mourn the passing of a man who destroyed so many lives. Danny savage, bbc news, West Yorkshire. The Prime Ministers most Senior Adviser, Dominic Cummings, is to leave downing street by christmas. The confirmation of his departure comes amid reports of internal tensions in number ten. Lets speak now to our political correspondent, leila nathoo, who joins us from westminster. Correspondent, leila nathoo, many correspondent, leila nathoo, people may have hee dominic many people may have heard of Dominic Cummings. They know he was very close to borisjohnson. What is the impact of this . Dominic cummings has been the Prime Ministers chief political adviser, only one of a handful of people who have had the Prime Ministers year since his time in downing street, and he was brought in by borisjohnson into government from his time running the vote to leave campaign. He has been at the heart of government since borisjohnson took charge. He led borisjohnson took charge. He led borisjohnson to winning the general election, taking britain out of the european union, so he has been a key figure in government, so it is important and there is apparently now ina important and there is apparently now in a changing of the guard and there has been all this fighting, personality clashes, battles with the number 10, resulting personality clashes, battles with the number10, resulting in personality clashes, battles with the number 10, resulting in the departure of another one of Dominic Cummings a allies earlier this week and it is clear the team who were brought into downing street are now on the wane in terms of influence and we spoke to the transport secretary earlier in the programme who was keen to stress it was Boris Johnson in charge and not Dominic Cummings. He didnt take thingsjust he didnt take things just as they had been done that way they couldnt be done any other way and it was good to challenge the system and challenge the way things have been done and was influential in that way, but a lot of people misunderstand, advisers advise, ministers decide. Grant shapps playing down the role of Dominic Cummings but it is worth reflecting on how influential he has been, driving policy. To his critics may see the operation in 10 downing street as having been far too centralised. There has been a lot of criticism within the tory party about the handling of the pandemic, about the handling of the pandemic, about the handling of the pandemic, about the messaging that is coming out of government, so there will be plenty in the tory party who will welcome this changing of the guard and the fact the Prime Minister has and the fact the Prime Minister has a chance to bring in a new team of advisers and have some fresh thinking around him. Dominic cummings insisting he always intended to go at this point but i think there certainly marks a big moment in Boris Johnsons leadership. A significant jump in the daily confirmed cases of coronavirus in the uk has led to increasing concerns about the growth of the virus. More than 33,000 new cases were recorded yesterday a rise of almost 46 in a day. But some experts warn against reading too much into one days data. Tough coronavirus restrictions have been extended in Northern Ireland for a further week. The current rules came into effect on october 16th and were due to expire at midnight tonight. Lets speak now to our ireland correspondent, chris page, who joins us from belfast. Chris, it wasnt an easy decision. It certainly was not straightforward. I am it certainly was not straightforward. Iam here it certainly was not straightforward. I am here in belfast city centre, the heart of the citys night life, full of pubs, bars, restaurants and hotels which have largely been shut for four weeks except for takeaway. The Stormont Executive have been involved in four days of often tetchy talking as to what to do about these restrictions. Last night they finally struck a deal but there is plenty of political division. The restrictions will be extended for another week but next friday restau ra nts a nd cafe another week but next friday restaurants and cafe is that do not serve alcohol will be able to reopen and a week afterwards pubs, and paris, that serves alcohol will be able to resume trading as well. Close contact businesses like hairdressers and beauticians will be able to have customers back next friday. One of the reasons this is so complicated politically is there are five parties in the power sharing devolved government in Northern Ireland. Four of them wa nted Northern Ireland. Four of them wanted the restrictions to be extended but the biggest party, the dup, wanted a partial reopening at least, making points the economic damage had been severe and poverty kills as well as covid 19. Their Main Partners in government sinn fein voted against the plan that was eventually passed seeing the scientific advice showed any reopening would lead to more deaths from the coronavirus. Barack 0bama has accused Senior Republicans of undermining democracy, by going along with president trumps refusal to admit that he lost last weeks election. The bbc has now projected mr biden the winner of arizona, granting him 11 more Electoral College votes. Senior officials from the department of Homeland Security have said the election was the most secure in us history. Speaking to the cbs programme 60 minutes, mr0bama said president trumps allegations were motivated by his dislike of losing. They appear to be motivated in part because the president does not like to lose, and never admits loss. Im more troubled by the fact that other republican officials who clearly know better are going along with this, are humouring him in this fashion. Its one more step in delegitimising not just the Incoming Biden Administration, but democracy in general. And that is a dangerous path. Heres matt with a look at this mornings weather. Lovely day, friday the 13th, it has all gone well so far. So far. There has been some heavy rain around. This is what is on the way, sunnier skies for many as we go through the morning into the afternoon but there are a few showers for western scotland and Northern Ireland. A narrowing band of rain across england and wales. It will clean away from eastern coasts of Northern England and eastern scotla nd of Northern England and eastern scotland by mid morning. Then many Central Eastern areas will stay dry and bright through the rest of the day with long sunny spells. We will see a little bit of rain but plenty of dry and sunny weather as well. Showers packing into western scotla nd showers packing into western scotland and they will be there until the afternoon. Enough of a south westerly breeze, not as strong as it was this morning but enough to push a few showers eastwards. Many in central and eastern parts of the country staying dry throughout. Temperatures around about where we should be for the time of year. It turns cool this evening but temperatures rise later in the night. Outbreaks of rain which are going to come and go and they are going to come and go and they are going to come and go and they are going to be coming and going all day on saturday. For the weekend expect windy conditions particularly across the south and the best of any sun shade in between the downpours on sunday but all in all it is a weekend for the sofa and a box set. Good advice. Yesterday we brought you the heart warming story of betty and kenneth meredith. After more than 70 years of marriage, 96 year old kenneth, who has dementia, had moved into a care home, and they didnt know when theyd see each other again because of coronavirus restrictions. But betty, whos 91, missed him so much, that she decided to move in too. This is the moment the pair were reunited over a romantic meal at the bourn view care home, in birmingham. Sadly, we know that not everyones experience has been as positive as kenneth and bettys. Breakfasts Jayne Mccubbin has been speaking to people struggling to visit loved ones in care homes. So, lets just make this very clear. My nan, my 97 year old nan, here, who we have taken from the care home because we have not seen herfor nine months, is now being taken back by force. It is basically the combination of nine months of total frustration. My mother has been arrested. You see my mum being put in the back of a police car. She is a fully qualified nurse. This is what happened when leandras mum pushed her way into a nursing home, so she could steal her own mother away. Your mum in that momentjust broke . Shejust broke, shejust couldnt handle it any more. Nan, i love you, and we are going to fight for you. No further action was taken but they have not seen her nan since. Look at me, 0k. I know, it is ridiculous, it is her grandmother. This moment illustrates the tension between keeping people safe from a virus but away from everything they love. Now a pilot scheme has been launched to introduce tests for relatives which the government hopes could bring an end to this. My nan is 97. She has been deteriorating over nine months. Things need to change now, today. Thats right. I mean, it is too little, too late, really, because she is shouting out, if you cant come in here, dont bother to come. She thinks it is me. Brendan and joan celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary the day before the first lockdown. He has had only brief, frustrating, intermittent window visits ever since. That must kill you, to be held responsible for this lack of contact. Well, it brought tears to my eyes, to be honest with you. She has not seen her daughters for eight months. She has forgotten her daughters now. She never asks about them. That is what upsets me. You know. I cant, i cant wait. I cant wait. For so many people, the clock is ticking while they wait for the pilot to begin, and, they hope, roll out. In only 30 homes initially, time they fear their loved ones dont have. Sams 33. He has what is called young onset huntingtons. The pilot was first mentioned 29 days ago. And there has been absolutely no sign of any movement that i can see in our area for any of our care homes. My greatest fear is that sam will leave us without our love and care and smiles, and arms around him, and he will leave not happy, how i always imagined it would be, but a very sad, lonely young man, whose parents have basically. ,gone away. Almost 17,000 care home residents have died of covid in england and wales since march, which is why so many homes have closed their doors since then. But at this home in lancashire, they have allowed socially distanced visits for residents like jessie since july. What does it mean to you, how important is it . Oh, it isjust like nature. It is natural, yourfamily. Wonderful. They go through all of the checks, all of the questions, sanitising, face visors, masks, and yeah, and its fine, now. You just get used to it, really. You get used to it . Yes. Hello are you all right . Theres no kisses, no cuddles, but this is contact and it is regular and warm, with the area clean for the next visit. They have not had a single case of covid. The pilot scheme, the lateral testing for care homes is pointless. It actually trends on twitter as pointless pilots. We know that the tests work in some capacity and the benefits of having a test straightaway in telling us whether we are positive or negative is absolutely priceless. So why we can trial it in other areas, students in liverpool, and not give it to care homes across the board is beyond me if im honest. The care minister says the pilot in england will allow experts to assess the practicalities and safety of testing. The aim is to roll it out more widely in december but there is a real fear that weeks could turn into months. It is a horrible time, the worst time of my life, ive got to say. And time is running out. What is your. Your hope . What are you dreaming for Christmas Day . I would love to believe that i could go to that home and pickjoan up and bring her home, that i can go there and say, right, joan, get your coat on, love, lets go out. Do you want to go out . And she would say, yeah. So many peoples lives have been touched, brendan talking about his beloved joan, there, leandra talking about her nan, and render really touched me about her son sam in a ca re touched me about her son sam in a care home, her greatest fear is that he will leave them without the love and care of his family and this is what it comes down to, isnt it . The emotions are really raw around this and it is completely understandable. Lets take a look at the rules for care home visits across the uk. In england, visits have been able to continue throughout the second lockdown, as long as they are done in a covid secure way. This includes being outside with one other person and the use of covid secure pods or rooms with floor to ceiling screens. Facemasks must be worn and social distancing observed. In scotland, up to six people from two households can visit at once and stay for four hours. The guidance also allows Holding Hands and hugs as long as ppe is worn. This is dependent on the care home being covid free for 28 days and staff are tested weekly. In wales, care home residents are allowed one designated visitor who can meet them inside. They are also allowed visits from loved ones either outside or in covid secure areas. All visitors Must Wear Masks and observe social distancing. In Northern Ireland, people in care homes can be visited by one person for an hour once a week and social distancing must be observed. Additional visits may be allowed for residents receiving end of life care. Social distancing must be observed if possible. However, many care homes have still not fully reopened and have strict rules in place. We can speak now with professor adam gordon from the British Geriatrics Society and our social affairs correspondent, alison holt. Thank you forjoining us. Professor, cani thank you forjoining us. Professor, can i start with you . Im not sure how many of those voices you could hear a moment ago but it is distressing hearing those stories andi distressing hearing those stories and ijust distressing hearing those stories and i just wonder distressing hearing those stories and ijust wonder if distressing hearing those stories and i just wonder if you distressing hearing those stories and ijust wonder if you can give us and ijust wonder if you can give us a sense with your knowledge and expertise of the balance that is being weighed up here, of health risk and the psychological damage thatis risk and the psychological damage that is clear and obvious to both sides, those who want to visit and those who are in the homes. So we heard in the report that there were significant excess deaths in care homes during the first wave of the pandemic, somewhere in the order of 17,000 extra deaths. There are many people that i have spoken to that are very distressed at having lost their loved ones during the first wave of the pandemic and who feel that more could have been done. It is clear now, though, that we know what needs to be done to protect ca re what needs to be done to protect care home residents and that is around minimising entry of covid into the care home, minimising spread of covert macros through the ca re spread of covert macros through the care home by identifying it early where it develops and by isolating residence within the care home when they develop covid. With regards to preventing spread into the care homes, there are lots of ways of doing that, one is regular testing of staff and we now have provisions in place for that and another one is by preventing people who have covid returning from hospital to care homes and we now have guidance in place to try to minimise those kinds of tra nsfers. Place to try to minimise those kinds of transfers. Having done those things, it seems that perhaps there isa things, it seems that perhaps there is a bit more leeway now for us to start to open up visiting so we can allow relatives to make contact again and overcome some of the really quite significant Emotional Distress that we heard about in your report. Allison, i mean, listening to the professor, you will be more than well aware of the distressing stories that are out there and the experiences that families have. Why are there still some care homes, how do you understand it, that they still have really strict rules in place and they cant accommodate the kind of exceptions in terms of visiting times or even with ppe, etc . For the care homes i have spoken to where they are very worried about visits, it is down to the fear of having a repeat of what happened at the start of the pandemic. So covid getting into a home and then running through the home and then running through the home and then seeing a lot of deaths. People are traumatised by that. Staff had to look after people with a level of illness that they really had never expected or been trained for. So there is a huge amount of trauma. There are some issues around insurance, some homes are worried that their insurance wont cover them if, for instance, a visitor gets covid. There are some complex issues going on. It is not a straightforward thing for them. But there are homes where they have made it work. There is a home i visited this week where they have built a pod into the corner of rooms. They are also taking part of a trial of rapid testing, the one that adam is involved in and overseeing. And they are looking at ways to allow people in safely because what they say is, at the start, yes, they were frightened and worried and they had to protect people but as the months have gone on, they have seen the emotional damage that it does to people, not being able to see their family and friends. Professor, do you want to pick up on that because on the face of it, i think everyone accepts, even in some very difficult circumstances, that care homes are trying to do the right thing, eve ryo ne trying to do the right thing, everyone is working in the same direction and then you have the families who are not able to get together. I am getting the sense may be that some of those care homes who dont feel like they are able to do it now are not doing things for fear of, i dont know, litigation or something down the road. Is there a sense that maybe they could be emboldened to do things with the right structures in place, that could facilitate things moving forward may be a bit quicker . Yes, i mean, ithink forward may be a bit quicker . Yes, i mean, i think they care home staff are doing this because they want to protect their residents. I have spoken to many relatives of people in care homes who during the summer went in for socially distanced visiting and every time they went to visit, they had in their mind on one hand that they wanted to see their mum, but on the other hand that they did not want to introduce infection into the care home. I think it is that balance that everyone is trying to strike. You heard in their report about the government pilot of lateral flow testing, the quick pregnancy lateral flow testing, the quick preg na ncy style lateral flow testing, the quick pregnancy style testing which has been rolled out in other parts of the country as part of the Mass Testing Programme. Ithink the country as part of the Mass Testing Programme. I think it is right to pilot those because those tests have some issues with the a ccu ra cy tests have some issues with the accuracy and we need to ensure that ca re accuracy and we need to ensure that care home staff can respond to them ina way care home staff can respond to them in a way that makes sense. It may be that those tests are not Accurate Enough to give care home staff and families the confidence that visiting is safe and we might have to use more accurate tests, and that is the pilot that alison was talking about yesterday that we are running in some nottinghamshire and yorkshire care homes that uses pcr, a more detailed kind of test and if lateral float testing does not give ca re lateral float testing does not give care homes the confidence we need, the government might have to invest in some slightly more technical tests in order to provide reassurance. On that practical note, you think about the work that they ca re you think about the work that they care home workers are doing and they are trying to help their residents look after the families who are trying to get in touch, the added notion of them being responsible for the testing regime, you know, these quick flow tests or whichever ones there are, theres a lot being put on their shoulders. Yes, and i think it is something, one of the things the pandemic has done is it has shone a light on the work that care workers do, day in, day out. They have huge responsibilities anyway, before the pandemic, they are looking after people often towards the end of their life or with very serious Long Term Health conditions. Then the pandemic comes along and certainly at the start, care homes, ca re staff certainly at the start, care homes, care staff and home care staff, because theres a whole army of people out in the community doing a lot of very good, powerful work with people, they all felt forgotten and as we have moved on, hopefully as a society we have greater understanding of the importance of the work they are doing. The home i visited earlier this week, they were carrying out the more detailed tests that adam mentioned there, taking swabs and analysing them, putting them ina swabs and analysing them, putting them in a machine to come back with them in a machine to come back with the test results. It seemed to me and im not an expert, but it seems to me that it was going very smoothly and well and they seemed to be taking it in their stride. Thank you forjoining us. We will watch with interest how that unfolds and if you are one of those people caught up in those scenarios, it is very challenging, no question. Lisa has got in touch to say her experience, not allowed inside to visit but once a week for 30 minutes, her mother in law is inside and she is outside, so many different experiences. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im sonja jessup. New Research Suggests one in four londoners would be reluctant to be vaccinated against coronavirus once an effective vaccine becomes available. The London AssemblyHealth Comittee study found almost half of those said they either didnt trust government guidance or drug companies. The Committee Says a lack of uptake could stop any vaccine being effective. The mayors announced plans to give black londoners a greater role in monitoring the met police and training new recruits to try to improve trust. Sadiq khans announced the move after concerns were raised about the use of force and stop and search. City hall says the met commissioner has acknowledged that racism exists within the force and wants to work with black communities to make changes. Children in need is back tonight, celebrating 40 years. And rewind for a moment to 1987, where we find ann wild, who went on to become a five time pa ralympian and wheelchair basketball athelete. She says children in need made a huge difference to her. Even then, i knew the value and how grateful i was for the help that i got with the chair. It actually opened up a door to me that wouldnt have been opened otherwise. Ijust literally wouldnt have been able to get into the sport. And then, you know, when i was able to get into the sport, i flew from there and, well, i was so lucky. Five paralympics later, here i am. You can hear more from ann on bbc londons1. 30 and 6. 30 programmes later. And details for how to donate to children in need are on your screen now. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. The central line has minor delays now between leytonstone and white city. Also the metropolitan line is running ok but its not stopping at Northwick Park. We have long queues on the north circular. One lane is blocked westbound at bowes road for works. Theyre queuing from the a10 and an accident on the m25 means one lane is blocked on the anticlockwise exit slip at junction 23 for the mm. Now the weather with Elizabeth Rizzini. Hello, good morning. Its looking very unsettled over the next few days or so, so wet and windy at times, especially at the weekend. But today, not so bad. Its a mostly dry early start, bit of brightness out towards the east. Thickening cloud and a few spots of drizzle, particularly towards the west. Theres an approaching cold front thats going to be pushing its way eastwards through the mid to the late morning. Its quite a windy day the winds will pick up as we see that heavy rain come through. Just a short period of possibly quite heavy rain and then its all clear by lunchtime. Some sunny spells through the afternoon, the wind veers a bit more westerly. Top temperatures today of 12 or 13 celsius. Now, through this evening and overnight, its mostly dry at first with plenty of cloud, some outbreaks of rain through the small hours of tomorrow morning, and, again, its a mild start to the weekend. Tomorrows going to feel even milder still, with the temperatures starting to climb, but wet and really very windy, as well. Strong gusts of wind, some spells of rain throughout the day. The winds could strengthen further on sunday. Again, therell be some heavy downpours at times. Theres more from me in half an hour dont forget children in need tonight from 7.

He was 74 and had been suffering from covid 19. He is said to have refused treatment. He also had a number of Underlying Health issues including heart problems and diabetes. Our Home Affairs Correspondent june kellyjoins us now. This june kellyjoins us now. News broke in the last hou so. This news broke in the last hour or so. What information do we have . We had a statement from the Prison Service that says peter coonan, which is the name that he liked to be known by, died in hospital on the 13th of november. He had been suffering from Underlying Health conditions prior to testing positive for covid 19. Like any death in custody the Prison Service cannot confirm the cause of death which is a matter for the coroner. Confirm the cause of death which is a matterfor the coroner. But confirm the cause of death which is a matter for the coroner. But as you say Peter Sutcliffe had a number of Underlying Health conditions, heart problems, diabetes, he was very overweight. He had also been attacked a number of times during his sentence. He was blind in one eye and his other eye was badly damaged. We were told he was refusing treatment for covid 19 and we have the announcement of his death this morning. It is stating the obvious in a way, but in so many ways this must be a very difficult day for the families of his victims. That is right, and that is where we have to keep the focus today, because it is also difficult to overstate the terror this man brought in certain parts of the north of england between 1975 and 1980. He was basicallyjust going round cooling women. He also attacked a number of women as well who mercifully survived and were able to give Police Evidence about what they had gone through. It was finally caught in 1981 by a complete flu ke. Finally caught in 1981 by a complete fluke. It had been a very long Police Investigation by the West Yorkshire force which was later heavily criticised and in the end he was caught by two officers on duty in South Yorkshire for a traffic offence for having false number plates and the West Yorkshire investigation was heavily criticised because it had gone down a complete blind alley and officers became obsessed with a character who was sending them text claiming he was the yorkshire ripper and police were convinced he was and in fact women who had survived the attacks said the attacker had a local accent and sutcliffe had been interviewed nine times during the investigation but each time had managed to fob off officers. Thank you. We can speak now to richard mccann, who was just five years old when his mother wilma was sutcliffes first victim. Thank you very much for talking to us this morning. You may have heard our correspondent there and june made the point that this is not about Peter Sutcliffe, this is about the victims, as it always has and should have been, and of course your mother was the first victim to Peter Sutcliffe that is known. I wondered if his death brings to you any solace . Thank you. I am not quite, well, i am surprised that i feel this morning because i thought i might have been emotional. What it brings is it brings to some degree closure. Not that i wished him dead, farfrom it, but it is like. Every time we heara farfrom it, but it is like. Every time we hear a news story and obviously lots going on today but every time we hear a news story about ten my mums photograph is often shown and not that i ever stop thinking about my mum, but one positive to come from this is that we will hear much less about him now. No more reminders about what happened all those years ago. suppose what i would like to do is to celebrate the life of your mum. Would you tell us about wow . I know you were just five but she would have heard stories from other family members. Mum came down from scotland following her brothers sophia gleneagles where she worked as a chambermaid. She came here to make our life for herself. It would be fairto our life for herself. It would be fair to say it was a tough life for mum before she died anyway, poverty, we we re mum before she died anyway, poverty, we were on the at risk register, and now, 45 years on, the memories i have got of my mum are feeding and there are not many but i do have some, as well as the ones where she was beaten by boyfriends and other things. But i have a memory for an example of going to hospital with my mum. I had cut my forehead and just me and mum together sat in the corridor and because i had Three Sisters it was hard to get time with mum soi sisters it was hard to get time with mum so i have that many of my mum. Until she met sutcliffe anyway, she was a survivor because she would do whatever she needed to do to feed us. We would go knocking on doors selling paper flowers and suchlike. Yeah, so,. Its a very strange and unusual day. I am yeah, so,. Its a very strange and unusual day. Iam not yeah, so,. Its a very strange and unusual day. I am not celebrating it but i am grateful that with a bit of luck those news stories. Sometimes a relevant news stories that we have had to endure over the years will now cease and we will hear a lot less about him. I would be really interested , less about him. I would be really interested, it is a lovely memory you have of your mum and so many people will empathise with that, struggling to get time with mum when you are a bunch of kids together. What was the impact of this on your family and have you managed to speak to any of your siblings since hearing the news . Sadly two of my siblings, sonia went walking the streets looking for my mum, she passed away in 2007, she sadly took her life, she could not deal with everything on top of some other personal issues that she had to ensure and my other sister passed away last year with cancer, so i have not spoken to donna, it happened in the last ever. The impact has been immeasurable i think. It would be fair to say it has ended up shaping who i am but as a child growing up in amongst all that, but june was a child growing up in amongst all that, butjune was describing, five yea rs of that, butjune was describing, five years of terror, was terrifying as a child, notjust years of terror, was terrifying as a child, not just because years of terror, was terrifying as a child, notjust because it was out there and he was out there, the bogeyman almost on the police could not catch him, but the fifth person to die, and sorry for saying this, was jane mcdonald, the first, according to the police, the first innocent victim, which i think its shocking that they would say that. Anyway, when she was killed because she lived on the same street, she died seven houses away, and i was still baby sat died seven houses away, and i was still ba by sat for died seven houses away, and i was still baby sat for us, as a child surrounded by all this terror i felt as though there is none, not that we know his name, had been watching the house, knew the baby sitters, killed my mum, killed the baby sitter, and i was convinced as a young child having had no therapy that he was going to kill me. I have memories of screaming and shouting. It really affected me. I was ashamed of being associated with sutcliffe and all his claims and possibly to do with how the police and the media describing some victims as an ascent are not so innocent, sorry tarp on about this, but i have had to live with that shame. There was only one person that should have felt shame, although i doubt that he did, and that was Peter Sutcliffe. You have no need to apologise. I am very grateful to you for talking to us. You are yet to speak to your surviving sister. You have been searingly honest and open about how this has affected your life and the impact that batman had on families like yours. That man. Rather compelling hearing that a count of how it has affected peoples lives. Mike, you can take us to some success on the football pitch. Scotland fans waking up this morning i bet youre already clearing your diary forjune 2021. After 22 years of heartache, scotland have qualified for a major mens finals. They beat serbia on penalties to reach the european championships. Well show you the action and go through the drama with former midfielder paul lambert in a moment.

The teams twitter account saying they hoped the result had lifted the spirts of a nation in whats been a difficult year for all and that the boogie boogie woogie would go on.

Hastings from Northern Ireland joining in the song. Lets get more reaction right now, and speak to former midfielder paul lambert who was in the side that was last at a major mens final the world cup in 1998. Hi paul. You know what this means. It was drama till the end how are you feeling . Can you hear me 0k . Can you hear me ok . I was asking how you celebrate and did you get any sleep . I think it is great for the whole country. 23 years since we last done it and what the lads have done last night i thought they were brilliant. They deserved to win the game. Everyone deserves great credit. Stevie, the backroom staff, great for the whole nation. They deserved to take the lead but when serbia equalised, did you think, typical, this is what happens to scotland . Think, typical, this is what happens to scotland . I always think if you think like that, it happens to you. I thought they were great and extra time when it could have gone the other way. I thought derby started a little bit better in the extra time. The full serbia started. The full 90 minutes, scotland were really good, they should have been two or three up and finished the game but when it goes to penalties, everybody is on when it goes to penalties, everybody isona when it goes to penalties, everybody is on a knife edge but all credit to the penalty takers, they were fantastic and David Marshall was excellent. You know what it means to go to excellent. You know what it means to gotoa excellent. You know what it means to go to a championships as a player, backin go to a championships as a player, back in 1998. How special is it for the players and what will scotland bring to the party goes the tartan army, that is what they will bring hopefully the fans will be able to get back into the stadium, hopefully that will be the case because the scotla nd that will be the case because the scotland and england game will be a great spectacle. You know, when we come there, there will be a big Party Atmosphere and i think its great for the whole country, i think it is brilliant. We will have to leave it there, i know youve got training with ipswich, thank you for joining us. I rememberspeaking training with ipswich, thank you for joining us. I remember speaking to lambert in 1998 and talking of the future, lets hope the fans are back for the game between scotland and england, 21st ofjune, 2021. for the game between scotland and england, 21st ofjune, 2021. I got the date in the diary. It will come. All this week weve been looking at some of ways the money raised by children in need is being used to help people. Ffion and coel lost their dad just over a year ago. John maguire has been to meet them and their mum sharon and find out how one charity has been supporting them. I like coming out here cos its my dads favourite place to go. Chris used to love coming up here as a child, and he used to walk up here and used to run the route regular because he lived in abertridwr and he wanted to come up here with the kids. Its been just over a year since chris morgan a husband and father took his own life. Wed scattered his ashes up here for us to have a walk to remember him so we can go somewhere where he enjoyed to be. Sharon, coel and ffion have had to cope with their sudden and tragic loss, as the world around them contracted and locked down. Its been difficult with lockdown. Weve. We havent had a family around as much as we could, so itsjust been the three of us, really. One of the hardest aspects since chris death has been those special occasions, such as birthdays and christmas. What are they like . Mm. Theyre 0k. We usually go to his grave. Cos you go through a period where everything you see normality is there, and its just in grasp. And then you get a first, and then it puts you right back to where you were and where the children were with their birthdays. Obviously, they were going on all right and then its their birthday and their dads not there. And its christmas, and their dads not there. Its. It was difficult for them. What about the page that talks about the things that you liked doing with dad . What did you like . We liked playing on the playstation. On the playstation. Elaine robinson is from the unicorn service. Supported by money from children in need, its part of st davids hospice care and works with bereaved children. Elaine has been helping ffion and coel. These memory books encourage the children to open up and to talk about their dad. It says, if i could whisper something to dad now, what would it be . I said, youre amazing and i love you and i miss you. Ah. I was very upset, but then she helped me and im happier. And how does she help you . Well, as you seen, we done the remembrance book, and we just talk about my feelings and stuff like that. We talk about happy times, sad times like, a mix between all of them. A person who knows what its like. They know what it feels like to be sad for someone to die. You cant undo this experience. You cant rub it out and pretend it hasnt happened. Being able to talk about it and being very open about how theyre feeling, about whats happened, helps them learn to process it, maybe, and helps them to find ways of coping with it. And thats hopefully what the service and the support helps us to do. Theyve come on amazingly, compared to where they were and circumstances that we found ourselves in. Theyve come on in leaps and bounds with the counselling, and theyve opened up more. Coel, whereas he was quite insular to begin with he wouldnt talk to anybody, was very, very quiet whereas now hes back to his happy, bubbly little self. Nothing can bring chris back, but the support the family is receiving is helping them to cope with life after his death. John maguire, bbc news, caerphilly. If you want to donate to this years children in need appeal, heres how you do it. Our gratitude goes to them for telling their story, just to show how this matters, showing how lives can be changed when people are in need, to reveals like this. Through appeals. And if a motivation you need a motivation, that report we saw about that remarkable family is all you need, really. It is friday the 13th today and matt has said he is not so superstitious but are you a fan of mcfly . I have got all their paintings, yeah, all their books. Laughter im not getting myself into trouble ain im not getting myself into trouble again ilove im not getting myself into trouble again i love mcfly. Would either of us do that to you . Perhaps when we talk to mcfly, the musical band, we will see their reaction but in the meantime, maybe get on with the weather app they have got a lovely upbeat track to go with today, i bit of happiness coming with the blue skies and sunshine. The overnight rain had cleared away from swansea and a few showers on the horizon, taken by one of our weather watchers in the last hour. The bulk of the heavy rain is now across parts of eastern scotland, easing away and into the eastern counties of england, that has been a narrowing band of rain so hopefully not too much wet weather in the next few hours across parts of east anglia and the south east. It will be out the way by the end of the morning if not mid morning and then good long sunny spells are many, a few showers already in the west, streaking the west of scotland and Northern Ireland, where they will be heaviest, pushed on by quite a stiff breeze though not as it not as strong as it was overnight. Leiter went further south and east and here went further south and east and here we stay dry and sunny through the afternoon with temperatures up to about 14 at their highest, not 1 million miles away from where we should be for the time of year. This evening and overnight, it is going to turn cool quite quickly but temperatures rise later in the night. A southerly breeze picks up and cloud spills and across the country and cloud spills and across the cou ntry after and cloud spills and across the country after a clear start and we will see outbreaks of rain developing across many areas. The rain will be on and off, not a solid band like we saw ending last night, pushing eastwards. It will be a mild day on saturday, milder and milder air pushing on. Into the weekend, when we have the mile there, it will be quite windy especially in the south and be prepared for some wet weather, too. Saturday, then, lots of cloud and the best of any sunshine in the north east of scotland, maybe the odd glimmer elsewhere, but overall, a cloudy day, rain coming and going, the heaviest of the rain probably across england and wales, particularly later on across the west, temperatures around 10 15 stop low pressure still with us, still quite windy with outbreaks of rain, some of the rain will be heavy, a chance of the rain will be heavy, a chance of sunshine between the downpours and we will see some gales in the south. That is out is looking. Back to you. Have a lovely weekend. Its the 40th anniversary of the bbcs children in need tonight, and while the live appeal show is set to look a bit different this year, it wont stop pudsey bear from putting on a good show. And there will still be music, comedy and a whole host of celebrities. One of the presenters is chris ramsey and hejoins us now. Good morning, did we bake it up enough because it is going to be so different . It is, good morning, sorry. But all tv is different at the moment but things are still managing to deliver, like i have just done little mix the search, we delivered that without an audience and it was covert micro safe, sticky is the same and tonight will be the same, fantastic music and celebs, we have got it all, a documentary called pudsey behind the bandanna, an exclusive look at his life away from children in need and lots of other stuff. Can i apologise for the state of the room, by the way, im ina state of the room, by the way, im in a hotel and its not the most photogenic thing in the world, i look like a hostage somewhere but yes i was going to make reference to it, i was thinking what a lovely, tidy, well made bed to it, i was thinking what a lovely, tidy, well made bed to it, i was thinking what a lovely, tidy, wellmade bed i have literally just rolled tidy, wellmade bed i have literallyjust rolled out of that, for a laugh i was going to lie in bed but i had too many chains, and i did not want to show the nation that they sell in the morning, i dont think anyone deserved that. they sell in the morning, i dont think anyone deserved that. I was admiring the headboard, personally. Yes anyway. I could write a book about this room shall we talk about dolly parton. We have got a clip of her and you can tell us all about that. Lets play the clip first. I have never told anyone this before but most of my songs have been influenced by that lovable yellow bear. I will always love you . That was about our everlasting friendship. Jolene is actually pudseys middle name. And 9 to 5, well, that was about his strict work ethic. Pudseys reaches far and wide, as far as dolly parton, how about that . That is the first time ive seen that, we have been rehearsing and reading scripts a week and i have been teased this pudsey thing and thatis been teased this pudsey thing and that is the first time i have heard that is the first time i have heard that and that is fantastic. A p pa re ntly that and that is fantastic. Apparently theres a lot of celebrity reservations about the big yellow bear. Do you do dolly parton impersonations yourself but your mug do you do impersonations . Not too much at this time of the morning, i got to say, you are lucky i am on here i dont do much at all. We have heard that excuse many times before and it does not wash yes, you know, i do have one of the biggest presenting jobs of my life tonight so i did turn up to big it up tonight so i did turn up to big it upfor tonight so i did turn up to big it up for you this morning.
