parents are being asked to regularly donate money good morning. a pilot shortage, cancelled flights and a multi—million pound compensation bill. it's been a tough week for ryanairand bill. it's been a tough week for ryanair and its passengers but can europe's largest airline recover? i'm at the london stock exchange this morning to find out. and in sport, "pick a woman next time," so says record goalscorer kelly smith, as the search begins to find mark sampson's replacement as head coach of england's women football team. and matt has your weekend weather. the autumn equinox today and it feels like it, cold and foggy for some and while most start the day with sunshine, a different look outside for the journey home. details on that and your weekend forecast coming up. good morning. first, our main story. theresa may will deliver a major speech on brexit in florence later today. the prime minister will argue that both the uk and the eu have a shared responsibility to make the process work smoothly. she is expected to say explicitly for the first time that the uk will seek a transition deal, which could last for up to two years after we leave the eu. it's thought the uk could pay up to £18 billion to brussels in return for continued access to the single market during that time. but the prime minister is also expected to say that after brexit has happened the uk will seek its own bespoke trade deal with the rest of the eu. our political correspondent ben wright is at westminster this morning. ben, this is not a usual day by any means, is it? all eyes on italy and florence, a major occasion and possibly a bit marker in the brexit negotiations? that's right, charlie. the prime minister chose not to go to brussels where negotiations are happening but florence, tuscany, to make a speech that is clearly a direct appeal to eu leaders rather than the negotiators around the table. she'll be telling european union leaders that it's in their mutual interests to push these talks forward and come up with a constructive final deal with the uk, to make brexit work in the interests of the eu and the uk. look, this speech is clearly i think a symptom of the fact that the talks are stuck now, there's frustration both here and in brussels about the pace they're going. brussels want westminster to be more explicit about the amount of money we're prepared to pay as part of the divorce settlement, protecting the rights of eu workers here after brexit, the uk frustrated talks are not getting onto the question of the future trade relationship so she will use this moment to get momentum into the talks and crucially, as you said, sketch out for the first time what sort of transitional deal the uk would like. when we talk about that we're talking about a bridging period of about two years after we've left the eu in march, 2019, three to about 2020/ 2021 and business are asking the government strongly now for some certainty and guarantees around that, but, and theresa may will say this in hurst beach, that will require money, probably about 20 billion euros over two years —— her speech. a big speech and we might learn quite a bit today about the prime minister's thinking about how that transitional period will work. for the moment, thanks very much. one of britain's most senior police officers has warned that the huge counter—terrorism effort is placing a strain on other areas of policing that is not sustainable. sarah thornton, the head of the national police chiefs' council, argues that more funding is needed to maintain day—to—day policing. here's our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw. five terror attacks in britain in six months. security experts say it's a sign of a shift in the threat of terrorism which could take 30 years to eliminate. it poses a big challenge for the police service. now one of brtain‘s most senior officers has spoken out about the need extra funding. writing on the national police chiefs council website, sara thornton says the counterterrorism policing budget is being cut by 7.2% in the next three years. miss thornton says that's a real concern giving the alarming nature and volume of the threat. she says the pressure this creates is not sustainable because there are fewer resources overall, particularly in neighbourhood policing. one of the things that we absolutely value is our part in the fight against terrorism is neighbourhood police officers, out there in neighbourhood building relationships, talking to the public and picking up bits of information and bits of intelligence. if we do not have that footprint, and we are very worried that that has reduced over the last few years, then we will not pick up information. but just as importantly we won't have that really important relationship with the public. the home office says it is sensitive to the pressures on police forces and is in discussion with them about their problems. but there are also fresh concerns about whether there are enough firearms officers. a new survey is expected to show growing support among the police for more of them to be trained to use weapons. danny shaw, bbc news. the north korean leader, kim jong—un, has described donald trump as mentally deranged in response to the comments the us president made during his speech to the united nations on tuesday. joining us now from seoul is our correspondent, danny savage. danny, this war of words seems to be escalating to i don't know what. kim jong—un, is he planning to be more explicit with his use of missiles? well, it's interesting. the words from kim jong—un are well, it's interesting. the words from kimjong—un are in response well, it's interesting. the words from kim jong—un are in response to what donald trump said a couple of days ago at the united nations. it's taken this time to get the response from the north koreans. what their leader says is that it was unprecedented, rude nonsense from donald trump. he says he is now thinking hard about a response to that. now, what's interesting is that. now, what's interesting is that the north korean foreign minister in new york has hinted at what that response could be and he's suggested when he was stopped by journalists in new york in the last few hours that north korea may be prepared to detonate a nuclear bomb, and odd letter h bomb, which they've already tested underground in north korea, but also perhaps to detonate one in the pacific ocean somewhere —— an h—bomb. that would be an enormous escalation in this growing crisis because that is alluding to detonating a bomb outside the country's borders somewhere in the pacific ocean sending it by missile one would presume to detonate a nuclear bomb, that would ramp up everything. meanwhile you've got the two main men in this crisis trading insults with each other, kim jong—un responding to what donald trump said today, and so it goes on. wejust hope there is still diplomatic movement is going on behind—the—scenes, which we think is happening, to try to settle this without any more missiles or bombs going off. indeed, thank very much, danny. the mexican president says people may still be buried alive in the ruins of ten buildings in mexico city after tuesday's devastating earthquake. across the country 273 people are known to have been killed. 0ur correspondent rajini vaidyanathan has the latest. the rescue effort is in full force here in mexico city. close to a0 buildings collapsed in the earthquake on tuesday. this building is in the fashionable la condesa district, which is nicknamed "hipster town", it is normally home to fashion designers, millennials and artists. this operation at the moment is a rescue operation. the marines and the armed forces here believe there are people inside and they're trying to make contact with them. as you can see there are a lot of people and a lot of machinery as well working at the rubble. a lot of it is manual work, people passing bits of the rubble hand to hand to remove it very carefully because it's a precarious operation. international assistance has also arrived here. the israeli government has sent help and they're actually involved in this particular rescue operation. while people wait, there are doctors on standby as well ready to treat anyone who is rescued and who comes out. periodically this place falls silent. people put their hands up and they are told to be silent while rescuers try to call out to people who they believe are trapped in the rubble. it's not just officials who are helping with the rescue efforts here, many of these people are volunteers giving up their own time and pitching in to try and rescue as many people as they can. the atmosphere here is very intense, it's one of anticipation. people are still hopeful that many more people will be found in the rubble alive. that was our correspondent rajini vaidyanathan in mexico city. banks and building societies are to make checks on all current account holders to try to identify illegal immigrants. from january, staff will have to search customers' names against a database of known illegal immigrants supplied by the home office. financial institutions will have to report any names they discover and freeze or close the account. almost 70% of women who are on a powerful epilepsy drug have not received new safety warnings about the dangers of taking it during pregnancy, according to a new survey given exclusively to the bbc. it's estimated that around 20,000 children have been harmed by valproate medicines in the uk alone and many mothers say they were never informed of the dangers. 0ur health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. you've been in the house a lot, have you been going out at all? no. joe was taking valproate when she decided to have children. her 17—year—old son, thomas, is autistic of having been harmed by the drug. she said she wasn't warned of the dangers. an extremely angry that when i went for the diagnosis there was people in the house authority that knew about all of this and i wasn't old, i wasn't given that information. if i was given that information. if i was given that information then i would have acted on it. sodium valproate is an effective drug for epilepsy and bipolar disorders but it carries a 10% risk of physical abnormalities for babies exposed to it in the womb and a 30 to 40% risk of autism, learning disabilities and low iq. early last year the uk medicines watchdog launched new safety information packs to be given to women in gps‘ surgeries, hospitals and pharmacies but today's survey by the charities epilepsy action, young epilepsy suggest of almost 500 women recently polled who were on the drug, almost 70% had not received these vital warnings. they come too late for the thousands of young people like thomas harmed by the drug. the uk medicines watchdog said the results of the survey were important in helping it understand the effectiveness of the measures taken to date. it also said it was important women didn't stop taking valproate without first discussing it with their doctor. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. the united nations is to launch an investigation into the massacre of the yazidis, a minority religious community in iraq, by so—called islamic state. the international human rights lawyer amal clooney, who has campaigned to raise awareness of the genocide of the yazidis, was at the un in new york. she spoke to our chief international correspondent lyse doucet. amal clooney, how big a step forward is this in legal terms? it's a huge step, lyse, it's really a milestone for the victims of isis, like nadia. what's happened today is that the council has voted to establish an international investigation to collect evidence of isis crimes. so for the first time the un is saying to isis terrorists that if they commit genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, they will be held to account in a court of law. facebook founder mark zuckerberg says his company will share 3,000 russia—linked political adverts with us investigators. the information will be handed to an investigation into alleged russian interference in last year's presidential election. mr zuckerberg said that in future, all such adverts would carry information about who paid for them. those are the main stories. mike is here with the sport. talking about who will replace mark sampson, that story still has legs. while that continues, only once before has the england women's national team been managed by a woman, hope powell, and there are calls for it to be a lady in charge again. kelly smith, who should know a thing or two, the record goalscorer, says it is time to go for a woman. plenty of women around now. wide? i think she says lessons need to be learned and she says there's enough good women coaches out there, laura harvey in the us is doing well at seattle, emma hayes at chelsea. now there are enough good women coaches out there to ta ke enough good women coaches out there to take the top job, like hope powell. she may be england's record goal scorer, but kelly smith says it's too early in her coaching careerfor her to be taking over from sacked coach mark sampson. however, she does hope it will be a woman after the controversy surrounding sampson's dismissal. he was sacked two days ago for what the fa have said was inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour in a previous role. 0n the pitch, the new women's super league season kicks off this weekend with the double winners manchester city going to the league's newcomers yevoil. that's after tonight's curtain raiser, a merseyside derby. diego costa's miserable season at chelsea is finally coming to an end. he's set to re—join former club atletico madrid injanuary. costa's yet to play for the club this season after being told he had no future there. and st helens all but book their place in the rugby league super league play offs after a convinving win at salford, who's own hopes had already gone. stay with us, we will have that in a couple of minutes' time. but as the weather. matters here with us. good morning to you. welcome to the autumn equinox. it is that time of year, i'm afraid to say, when we see those nights —— we see those nights draw in. note, it's not exactly equal day and night yet. that will not occur until about sunday, monday. it is called the equinox. it certainly feels like autumn. a chilly start across the country. temperatures above frost. a different story in northern ireland, temperatures in double figures. you have cloud. be wary, parts of eastern wales, a few dense fog patches to the morning commute. the morning journey to work will be different from the journey home. it spreads in across scotland, northern england. the whole day will be dry with some sunshine, a gentle breeze. a chilly start so far. low cloud for the evening. 0utbrea ks a chilly start so far. low cloud for the evening. outbreaks of rain. fairly sporadic. not everyone will see it. the rain will be fairly light and patchy. a brighterjourney back from work in northern ireland. what's more cloud. some occasional rain here and there. a damp end to the day to many. that damp weather combined to parts of the midlands, south wales, southern england overnight. further north, some clear skies. the night to come will not be as chilly as the nightjust gone. temperatures the most into saturday morning. we start the weekend with plenty of cloud. patchy rain and drizzle. just inches its way north. it might stay fairly cloudy. the midlands, northern england, southern scotland, it brightens up. the visitors up to 19, 20 degrees. we continue with the southerly winds into sunday. the weather front will bring outbreaks of rain. elsewhere, sunny starts and we will see the breeze coming in from the south bringing increasing amounts of warmth. we have got the rain, of course. central, eastern parts of england, eyes on sunday of around 2a degrees. a topsy—turvy few days. chilly out there at the moment. warmth across eastern areas by the time we get to sunday. is this typical autumn equinox weather? autumn is the seasonal transition. definitely so. that is her beget a bit more summer. mike is with us for the papers. the front page of the daily telegraph. lots of information on this. theresa may heading to florence. early afternoon. it is the duty of the eu to agree. certain elements which are leaking out, to be honest. never in is precisely what she is going to say. the financial times saying that theresa may hopes to break the stalemate by strengthening protections for eu citizens. some allocation of money. it is a cabinet show of unity. the picture at the top of the financial times is something as well. donald trump meeting his south korean counterpart, moon jae—in. meeting his south korean counterpart, moonjae—in. as we heard earlier, kim jong—un, counterpart, moonjae—in. as we heard earlier, kimjong—un, the leader of north korea, making some inflammatory comments, including calling him a dotard. that means an older person who has signs of senility. the times, looking at the economy. an unexpected windfall. the sun has done an investigation. a number of items in one purchase which they say could concoct a bomb without asking any questions. imagine going onto a tennis court and facing roger federer and rafael nadal together. it could be a doubles partnership from heaven. for the first time ever, the usa take on europe. it's a bit like ryder cup in g. it'sa europe. it's a bit like ryder cup in g. it's a new idea. six players from the usa managed byjohn mcenroe taking on six players from europe. something is telling me they have played doubles before. maybe an exhibition match. i remember in spain, one of the exhibition matches but this would be in a proper competition. a bit of a circus. i am looking forward to this. it would be for middle for the opposition. when will we see it? it starts today and goes on sunday. also, what you think of this, rugby, sean o'brien has broken ranks and what happens on tour stays on to but after the lines drawn in the summer, sean o'brien has said, we would have won this tour. had it not been for bad coaching and being overtrained. lions management have hit back. they think is foolish for breaking ranks. some people consider the draw with the lions win. we have some lovely puppies. while we try and find that, on the theme of rugby players are bigger and bigger, this is relevant. the firefighters now, because people are getting bigger and bigger, the firefighters now, because people are getting biggerand bigger, how do they train to helping very large people get out of emergency situations? barry is a 25— stone dummy. who knows what they are going to find themselves? barry is a lot of work of how they can best prepare in any situation. barry is the 25— stone dummy. i found the puppies. sleeping puppies. i could just look at this parole while. it does not need any explanation. we have dogs sleeping all over. the dog falling asleep. the dog that fits into a guitar case. is this sponsored? this isa guitar case. is this sponsored? this is a good one. this is a dog in the crack of the sofa. looking at those images, especially this time of day, it just makes images, especially this time of day, itjust makes you feel a little bit dopey. it's a health safety issue. more and more parents are being asked to make regular payments to help support their child's school. that's the conclusion of research by the parent teachers association and bbc breakfast. it found that more than 40% of parents in england, wales and northern ireland had been asked to donate money, with payments averaging around £10 a month, as jayne mccubbin reports. many parents here at saint aden ‘s primary in london are hacked 0ff. you couldn't afford to pay, even if you want to do? no, i couldn't. is being asked to do what more and more are asked, making a regular donation to support their child's school. are asked, making a regular donation to support their child's schoolm we need to fund the school it is private, not public. no resentment 01’ private, not public. no resentment or anger? no. a private, not public. no resentment oranger? no. a bit private, not public. no resentment or anger? no. a bit cross with the government they are not funding the schools but not with the school. there is sympathy for the school here. all those figures were up slightly before. 50% of parents said: that is a cut so we had to lose that role. head teacher and etchings says she has lost four store —— for support staff already and she wants to use donations to protect funding for the team she has left. we have the same number of children in the school so it has an impact on the support we can provide the children and puts more pressure on the staff who are here. the head of governance has asked parents to pay whatever they can afford. weren't there are other options or other ways? we had already looked at every single line of our budget. we felt it was morally very difficult but we are in a crisis. in northern ireland, education budgets are being cut. while in england and wales, they are spending more per pupil in cash terms but after inflation, even schools here face cuts in real terms. the fact is our schools are facing a funding crisis which is a scale which can't be solved by pa rents scale which can't be solved by parents having whip around. it's not a sustainable or equitable way to fund our schools because there will a lwa ys fund our schools because there will always be schools in areas where the pa rent always be schools in areas where the parent community cannot make these payments. whether or not parents give a helping hand is down to pa rents. give a helping hand is down to parents. the department in westminster told is no parent is required to make a contribution. charges here as elsewhere are volu nta ry charges here as elsewhere are voluntary but some fear where this growing trend will eventually end. we are worried this is going to become the new normal and we don't like that. we have been talking about rya nair over the past like that. we have been talking about ryanair over the past week or so. about ryanair over the past week or so. it's been pretty turbulent. ben is in the city of london today taking a look at what is happening. what a week it has been. another day. this is the front of the financial times, another headline which tells the story of ryanair‘s to buckle. we heard from michael 0'leary about what the airline plans to do next. about 50 flights every day. they put the cost of that at about 25 million euros to try and put this right. they have apologised to passengers but it is that shortage of pilots. they've been trying to come to a deal, offering them money and compensation and that would help to ease some of this problem which is related to the scheduling of the holidays are the pilots say, we're not having this, we should be a most better conditions. it could turn out to be a costly problem for ryanair is we will be discussing it, looking at what it means for the firm and the passengers and what happens next so we will talk about that later but let's get the news, travel and weather wherever you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. a former gang—member has told bbc london how acid is increasingly being used as a status weapon. acid attacks are on the rise in the capital. 0ne youth group — which is working with young offenders — has warned that carrying domestic products like drain cleaner for use as a weapon is now considered something of a rite of passage. it's actually happening, grooming is taking place, there is an elder manipulating and exploiting a younger man by making him believe that this is an exclusive item which can be purchased from your local diy store. it's the mindset and the grooming behind that which is actually allowing the young men to form a part of the family that she belongs. two men arrested in connection with the explosion at parsons green tube station have been released without charge. the men, aged 21 and a8, were arrested in hounslow on saturday and in south wales, on wednesday. four other people remain in police custody. there's been a significant rise in the number of race hate attacks against police officers in london, according to exclusive figures obtained by the bbc. reported incidents went from around 400 last year to more than 650 so far this year. they ranged from verbal abuse to actual bodily harm. we still have ongoing works on the overground. traffic we still have ongoing works on the overg round. traffic is we still have ongoing works on the overground. traffic is building in dagenham. this is how it looks on the 813. let's get the weather. yesterday evening's rain has now cleared and it's been a chilly night so it is a cool start this morning, temperatures away from the towns are back to six or seven degrees with patches of mist and fog so if you are out and about, take care. the patches of fog should have gone by around nine, ten o'clock. lots of sunshine around today. top temperatures of 18 or 19 celsius. the areas cooler but of sunshine. just a little bit more cloud as we head through the afternoon. we will stay dry as we head through much of the evening. a weather front pushing in from the west. that is still going to be with us into tomorrow morning. a damp start to saturday as well. possibly some drizzle through the morning. southerly winds, so it will feel quite mild despite the cloud in the cloud should eventually break as we head through the afternoon, top temperatures of 19 degrees of high—pressure digs in over the weekend to it? going to stay dry on sunday. lots of decent spells of sunshine, temperatures as high as 23 degrees. i'll be back in half an hour — just time to tell you there's a special bbc radio london breakfast programme with vanessa feltz this morning from north kensington to mark one hundred days since the grenfell tower disaster. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: at what age did your children first visit the dentist? we'll hear how a check up before the age of one could help beat the growing problem of childhood tooth decay. we'll also meet maya, a 10—week—old jaguar cub abandoned by her mother and now being hand—reared by a man who hopes to lead the world in big cat conservation. and from trainspotting to winnie the pooh, kelly macdonald will be here to talk about her latest film goodbye christopher robin. all that still to come. but now a summary of this morning's main news: theresa may will deliver a major speech on brexit in florence later today. the prime minister will argue that both the uk and the eu have a shared responsibility to make the process work smoothly. she is expected to say explicitly for the first time that the uk will seek a transition deal, which could last for up to two years after we leave the eu. one of britain's most senior police officers has warned that the huge counter—terrorism effort is placing a strain on other areas of policing that is not sustainable. sarah thornton, the head of the national police chiefs council, argues that more funding is needed to maintain day—to—day policing in england and wales. the home office says it is working with police on the demands they face. one of the things that we absolutely value as our part of our fight against terrorism is neighbourhood police officers, out there in neighbourhoods, building relationships, talking to the public and picking up bits of information and bits of intelligence. if we don't have that footprint, and we're very worried that that has reduced over the last few years, then we will not pick up information. but just as importantly we won't have that really important relationship with the public. the north korean leader, kim jong—un, has described donald trump as mentally deranged. in a rare personal statement via state media the north korean leader said mr trump would pay dearly for his recent speech to the un. the us president said on tuesday that if america was forced to defend itself it would totally destroy north korea. the mexican president says people may still be buried alive in the ruins of ten buildings in the capital, mexico city, after tuesday's devastating earthquake. across the country 273 people are known to have been killed. around 200 people remain unaccounted for in the capital and millions have been left without electricity. banks and building societies are to make checks on all current account holders to try to identify illegal immigrants. from january, staff will have to search customers' names against a database of known illegal immigrants supplied by the home office. financial institutions will have to report any names they discover and freeze or close the account. the united nations is to launch an investigation into the massacre of the yazidis, a minority religious community in iraq, by so—called islamic state. the international human rights lawyer amal clooney, has campaigned to raise awareness of the genocide of

zuckerberg said that in future, all such adverts would carry information about who paid for them. time for the weather later with matt but now, time for the sport with mike. what have you got? sometimes 4—ball it mike. what have you got? sometimes a—ball it can get personal and things go on in the dressing room we don't know much about —— sometimes in football. diego costa scored 20 goals last year as they won the title again, all in 59 goals in 120 appearances, then he was told in the summer he wasn't wanted any more, he got personal, stayed in brazil, didn't go to london and now he is back to atletico madrid. i think in the end conte, the manager, thought he was a disruptive influence or something had gone on. goodbye. chelsea are selling diego costa to his former club. he scored 20 goals but was no longer wanted after last season's success and when a move fell through in the transfer window the spanish international refused to go back. he will go to madrid in the next tra nsfer go back. he will go to madrid in the next transfer window if personal terms and a medical are confirmed. emma hayes of chelsea, and laura harvey, who manages in america, are two candidates whom kelly smith thinks should be considered to replace mark sampson who was sacked on wednesday for what the fa say was "inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour while working at bristol academy. smith, who's england's record goal scorer, hopes lessons can be learned and has warned the fa to take their time over the appointment. there are a few names, laura harvey, i played at with arsenal, emma hayes, they are the top two female managers in my eyes at the minute that are being touted for thatjob but whether they go for it and whether they're interested, time will tell. at least attention can return to matters on the pitch and the return of the women's super league. it starts with a merseyside derby tonight with everton hosting liverpool, and then the champions, and double winners, manchester city have a new experience this weekend travelling down to somerset to face the debutants at this level, yeovil ladies. now the last time motherwell won the scottish league cup, clement atlee was prime minister. it was 1950. but they might fancy their chances this year after reaching the semi—finals and beating aberdeen who are unbeaten in the league season and 3—0 as well thanks mainly to their hot shot, louis moult, who scored twice. they'll play rangers in the last four. st helens can start making their play off plans in the rugby league, they're all but there now after a convincing 30—4 win over salford, whose own hopes had already gone. it takes saints up to third. they only managed 12 minutes of cricket at trent bridge yesterday before rain forced an early end to the second one day international between england and west indies. footballers can use both feet. but until now, in cricket, bowlers have had to chose between using their right or left arms. but pakistan's 21—year—old pace bowler yasirjan is in the uk hoping to change that. he can bowl with both and is training at lords for six weeks under the guise of the mcc. they want bowlers to be given the choice of which arm they bowl with during an over. would the batons be told what is going to happen? that's the question that matters. it really affects the batsmen. —— actors. before each bowl maybe the umpire could give a signal —— batsmen. he would probably know from the run up as well. you would know anyway, wouldn't you? unless i'm getting this wrong. you would know from which side of the wicked they are bowling from. he might run —— wicket. they are bowling from. he might run -- wicket. these are things that need discussing if they change the rules. some tennis players use both hands. of course they do. talking of tennis, though tantalising prospect of nadal and federer teaming up in doubles —— the tantalising. pitched as tennis‘s a nswer to tantalising. pitched as tennis‘s answer to the ryder cup, the labour cup will see six of europe's best players take on six of their best cou nterpa rts players take on six of their best counterparts from the rest of the world. they will play singles and doubles in this exhibition event. i'm very happy use on my side and not on the other side. i played a lot up against rafa, so many occasions, big matches, nine grand slam finals so finally to have him on my side is a joy. we talked about playing doubles a long time ago, it never happen so of course i would love to share the other side of the net this time around, maybe this time it will be doubles if bjorn agrees, we will have to see how practice goes and bjorn will take the ultimate decision. i like seeing bjorn there, he's the manager of the european team. and while formula 1 teams take a rest this weekend, i'll show you what happened when i took a red sofa for a spin. don't worry, naga and charlie, not our red sofa, but one that is roadworthy and can travel 87 miles per hour. we'll meet the man who's cutting edge inventions have helped him to hold eight world records racing items of furntiure. what about a bicycle? we were in a town centre at that time. did it have a seatbelt? absolutely, we were strapped in. it doesn't end there. also the world's fastest bath and bed. you have a curious world! i do quite well! let's return to our top story, theresa may's big brexit speech which is happening in florence later today. 0ur political correspondent ben wright is at westminster. so, ben, let's do a little scene setter, politically and geographically, she's going to the heart of europe to a cultural city within europe. so much within the brexit negotiations, some saying in deadlock at the moment, a moment in time? it is. the formal negotiations happening in brussels are pretty stuck. we've known for a few weeks theresa may had put this speech in the diary, but through the summer there's been a real cabinet scrap behind the scene is that sometimes tipped over into public about the content tipped over into public about the co nte nt of tipped over into public about the content of this speech, what her government and cabinet members are going to allow her to say but yesterday at a cabinet meeting it was signed off, the cabinet saw it and it seems they are on board. she will bejoined in florence by the chancellor, philip hammond, the foreign secretary, boris johnson, andi foreign secretary, boris johnson, and i think david davis, the brexit secretary. she has the cabinet behind her, which is a start, because a lot here is pretty contentious. in particular today she will talk about the transition deal she hopes to sign off with the eu, the bridging relationship we will have with the eu after the uk has left in march, 2019. the chancellor has been pushing her to go with something as close as possible to what we have now in terms of the economic trading relationship, access to the single market, i think she will say that is something she wa nts she will say that is something she wants but she will also be specific about the back she wants money on the table, 20 billion euros over two yea rs, the table, 20 billion euros over two years, for that kind of market access. a fascinating moment because we and you and your colleagues in westminster are caught up with the machinations in the cabinet and within the conservative party and what's being said about brexit, but on this day the reaction from europe and other european leaders, this is the prime minister making a bold statement. the instant reaction from the rest of europe will be really appalled and not only in terms of negotiations but also to theresa may's own standing? that's right, charlie and we expect a pretty insta nt charlie and we expect a pretty instant reaction from michel barnier, the eu chief negotiator, within minutes of the end of the speech. that's why the tone really matters, but the content too. the eu are frustrated the uk isn't moving far enough with what they want in the transitional period but how they see the future trade relationship with the eu and the uk but also crucially they want britain to commit now to paying money that they are adamant we owe through our liabilities, budgets we have signed up liabilities, budgets we have signed up to and all the rest of it and they want clarity. they don't want just warm words and rhetoric from theresa may. that's how this speech will bejudged by european theresa may. that's how this speech will be judged by european leaders and negotiators in brussels. thanks bromance, ben, watched by political commentators and everyone else. —— thanks very much is. we will be back later this afternoon for that speech and we will be live in florence reporting on that later in the programme. the england and it is all to equinox for —— it is autumn equinox. yes it is. a bitter taste of sunrise from one of our weather watchers but if you are about to leave the house, one word of warning, it is chilly out there. a touch of frost. temperatures close to freezing. these are some of the temperatures. parts of england as well. this is where we have also got some dense patches of fog. northern ireland, cloud is being pushed. turning wet quite rapidly. quite windy. not as chilly as it is elsewhere. do the afternoon, north—west england, western parts of wales and potentially parts of cornwall and west devon. the east midlands, lincolnshire and the south district. temperatures lifting. increased cloud bringing outbreaks of rain. cornwall, somerset, in gloucestershire. after a dry, sunny and in places foggy start to your friday morning. northern ireland, but by this evening, some sunshine. dry weather. the best of any brightness around the murray firth. patchy rain and drizzle becomes confined to parts of central southern england. nowhere near as cold. plenty of cloud around. a bit ofa cold. plenty of cloud around. a bit of a grey start to the weekend. patchy rain of drizzle. this central zone staying fairly cloudy with a bit of brightness in northern ireland. 19 degrees here and we could hit 19 or 20 across southern counties of england and wales. a rather cloudy morning. those wins, trying to push its way. a wet part. western parts of wales. most of —— eastern scotland stays dry. up to 2a degrees across parts of eastern england. temperatures still higher than they were. nice to have something sunny to look forward to in the weekend. back indoors for a moment. we are looking at the ryanair story you would be familiar with. some of the issues around pilots and what is happening. that is at the london stock exchange. you're going to talk to us about where we are at. absolutely. we will assess what it means to the business. shares down about 10%. it's been a really turbulent week. a lot of disruption for passengers and a big cost for ryanair. with for passengers and a big cost for rya nair. with me for passengers and a big cost for ryanair. with me to discuss this, it is nice to see you both. we've seen discussions on who is to blame. is it about a pilot ‘s shortage is there something else to be at play? there is a pilot shortage. the aircraft are going to be built to those pilots needed. ryanair is a low—cost carrier is one of the many that are now facing a severe pilot shortage. pilots are great opportunities today. they can choose and pick their employer. ryanair has done a fantasticjob in being a prime supplier, employer and training ground, no doubt about it. i think michael leary has to understand that he has a major crisis and he has to handle it. that's the point. the agm yesterday, a lot of people looking for words of reassurance. what did you make of what you heard because a lot of people want to burst. the tsunami tactics, i would advise, michael 0'leary, it's not going to happen. it's going to be a daily news show on ryanair. we have to handle something like that like a major crisis, we are trained for that, all ceos crisis, we are trained for that, all ceos of airlines are trained to such crises. this is one that he has to learn to handle. henrietta, the crisis. is this a crisis? michael leary was quick to say they don't think this event will have an impact to their profits for the year. it will beat up to $1.5 million. looking to assure their investors. they are saying they can absorb this initial $25 million —— 20 5 million euros cost but if it affects the packages, and even the shortages we are talking about, that is going to have a bigger impact on our bottom—line profits. have a bigger impact on our bottom-line profits. it is having to offer pilots more money, surely that is going to affect the bottom line? how much can they then pass on to consumers? ryanair has always sat down at the bottom competing on cost and that has taken them to be your‘s largest airline. it's becoming more competitive. we have seen british airways coming into that budget space. there is going to be a tighter squeeze anyway going forward. low-cost carriers have made a huge market. michael 0'leary saying that pilots have it easy. what do you make of that? that doesn't help anybody. 0n what do you make of that? that doesn't help anybody. on top of the apparent shortfall of pilots —— pilots, you need to build a relation with one of your major workforces. pilots are not a special workforce. they are just governed by a lot of regulations. it is everybody‘s problem. i would suggest he is taking care of his group and his company and let somebody expert handle this. to run a professional and well organised organisation operation with pilots that then have trust and like to in the past. briefly, long—term problem more short—term blip? we hope they can get the company back on a strong footing. for me, it's about the cost pressure and whether that has a bigger knock—on impact. but now, though,, bigger knock—on impact. but now, though, , thank you bigger knock—on impact. but now, though,, thank you so much. crucial in the next hour, we are going to talk about what it means for passengers. if you have got a flight booked and yours has been disrupted, we will talk about what your rights are. how you might go about getting your hands on it. more from me a little later. there is a bit of a buzzin little later. there is a bit of a buzz in the studio. these are the workhorses of the natural world. researchers are trying a new experiment involving connecting insects to the internet. behind the fire station in stockport, some bees are about to get connected. an australian scientist leading of the monitoring project is fitting them with a chip which will allow them to be tracked. we are using superglue and what we will do, we will pick up a tag, find a friend. it does take some time. and it takes a little bit of practice to get technique. jini not find it hard but i struggle to fit a tiny backpack onto a b. some of these desperately want to be tagged. and now the bees will be counted in an out of the hyatt. we understand more of the behaviour when they leave the hive and when they return, who they are travelling with, we are identifying individual insects which we have not been able to do in the past. cisco has recruited beekeepers across greater manchester to take pa rt across greater manchester to take part in the programme. 0ne hope is the data will give greater understanding of what keeps these healthy. its varied difficult to look inside the hive and know what is happening with an individual be served by tagging in individual be, you get to know how long it lives. the bees are a number of things being connected to the internet including trams, and rubbish things. it is part of the internet of things and it's supposed to provide darted to make the city smarter. what you haveis to make the city smarter. what you have is a live feed from the centre of manchester. in the government funded smart city project, all sorts of internet devices and these are being monitored across manchester. benjamin disraeli said on the 19th century, what people do today in manchester, the rest of the world do tomorrow. this is about making it through but when he first century. and the bees are part of that. they are, it's a real problem to be solved for everyone in the world. we only managed to get about half a dozen bees looked up at over the coming months, thousands will be at work, providing data which could make manchester althea and smarter city. fascinating experiment but i don't want to be the person taking the bees. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. a former gang—member has told bbc london how acid is increasingly being used as a status weapon. acid attacks are on the rise in the capital. 0ne youth group — which is working with young offenders — has warned that carrying domestic products like drain cleaner for use as a weapon is now considered something of a rite of passage. it's actually happening, grooming is taking place, there is an elder manipulating and exploiting a younger man by making him believe that this is an exclusive item which can be purchased from your local diy store. it's the mindset and the grooming behind that which is actually allowing the young men to feel he is a part of the family that he belongs. a man ina a man in a woman have been murdered after a body was found in a london home. police can't save the body was mail or penal or how old they were. two men arrested in connection with the explosion at parsons green tube station have been released without charge. the men, aged 21 and a8, were arrested in hounslow on saturday and in south wales, on wednesday. four other people remain in police custody. the tube is mostly running well. we've still got those ongoing works on the 0verground, though. let's get the weather with elizabeth rizzini. yesterday evening's rain has now cleared and it's been a chilly night so it is a cool start this morning, temperatures away from the towns are back to six or seven degrees with patches of mist and fog so if you are out and about, take care. the patches of fog should have gone by around nine, ten o'clock. lots of sunshine around today. top temperatures of 18 or 19 celsius. the areas cooler but of sunshine. just a little bit more cloud as we head through the afternoon. we will stay dry as we head through much of the evening. a weather front pushing in from the west. that is still going to be with us into tomorrow morning. a damp start to saturday as well. possibly some drizzle through the morning. southerly winds, so it will feel quite mild despite the cloud in the cloud should eventually break as we head through the afternoon, top temperatures of 19 degrees of high—pressure digs in over the weekend to it? going to stay dry on sunday. lots of decent spells of sunshine, temperatures as high as 23 degrees. i'll be back in half an hour — just time to tell you there's a special bbc radio london breakfast programme with vanessa feltz this morning from north kensington to mark one hundred days bye bye. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. breaking the brexit deadlock — the prime minister heads to florence for a key speech on leaving the european union. but a proposed 2—year transitional deal could cost the uk £18 billion. good morning. it's friday, the 22nd of september. also this morning, "mentally deranged" — the north korean leader kimjong—un launches a stinging attack on donald trump as he promises the us president will "pay dearly" for his recent speech at the un. a senior police officer warns the fight against terror is pushing already stretched forces in england and wales to the limit. the growing numbers of families being asked to chip in for their child's education. bbc breakfast finds that more parents are being asked for cash for the classroom. and in sport, "pick a woman next time" — good morning. a pilot shortage, cancelled flights, and a multi—million pound compensation bill. it has been a difficult week for ryanairand bill. it has been a difficult week for ryanair and its passengers, but can europe's largest airline bounce back? i am at the london stock exchange today to find out. cost is the help chelsea wind the premier league title, but is no longer wanted. diego costa has to move back to his former club in spain. and matt has the weather. good morning. it is the autumn equinox today and a definite chilly day for many, with some fog. 0n definite chilly day for many, with some fog. on many of you start the day with sunshine overhead i cannot promise it will stay that way for the journey home from work later. i have the forecast in 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story. theresa may will deliver a major speech on brexit in florence later today. the prime minister will argue that both the uk and the eu have a shared responsibility to make the process work smoothly. she is expected to say explicitly for the first time that the uk will seek a transition deal, which could last for up to two years after we leave the eu. it's thought the uk could pay up to £18 billion to brussels in return for continued access to the single market during that time. but the prime minister is also expected to say that after brexit has happened, the uk will seek its own bespoke trade deal with the rest of the eu. so how much details and we expect from the prime minister's speech later? norman smith is in florence for us this morning. norman, in that magnificent city, chosen we guess for particular reasons, to do with it being sought of the cultural centre of europe, in some respects, this is a big moment for theresa may, isn't it? it is a huge moment. it is theresa may's attempt to break the deadlock in those brexit negotiations, and to do that, it seems the prime minister is going to come forward today with a threefold offer. 0ne, she is going to give clarity about a so—called transitional phase before we actually leave the european union. she is going to say, we want a two—year transitional phase after march 2019. secondly, she is going to give greater clarity on the amount of money we are prepared to pat’- amount of money we are prepared to pay. she will say that during that two year period, we will keep paying our budgetary contributions. she will not give a figure but we can all work it out, and it is roughly £18 billion. thirdly, we are told there will be new rear assurances —— new reassure and iss for eu nationals living in britain. —— new reassurances. all of that will be wrapped up in language talking about how we are good europeans, here in the cup —— the heart of florence, chosen to symbolise the historical and cultural roots of europe, of which we are a part. the hope is that that offer, plus the conciliatory language, will be enough to kickstart negotiations.- you say, norman, it is a bold move, in many ways, getting directly involved in a separate leaf on the negotiations. but she is sticking her oar in. how will it bejudged whether or not this has worked?” think the real test is going to be in terms of detail. is there enough grits in this speech? —— grit. 0n the money side, mrs may will not give a figure. even though we can kind of work that figure out, the view of many eu leaders is that it is simply not enough stock they argue that we have long—standing, ongoing commitments to the european union, well beyond the transitional phase, for pension liabilities, loan liabilities, long—standing projects. so the bill, they think, will be much bigger. and the terms of eu nationals, they will want specific binding commitments. detail is everything. norman, thank you. that was norman smith in florence for us this morning. we will be discussing this morning. we will be discussing this issue injust a this morning. we will be discussing this issue in just a few minutes with both sides of the argument. the north korean leader, kim jong—un, has described donald trump as "mentally deranged". he said he would make mr trump "pay dearly" for his speech to the un general assembly on tuesday, in which the us president warned that america would totally destroy north korea if it threatened the united states or its allies. joining us now from seoul is our correspondent, danny savage. danny, the remarkable thing about this is that kim jong—un was speaking in english, using some really interesting language, and is obviously not shying away from this fight? no, we were awaiting this sort of official response from him after donald trump's words at the united nations in new york. we have got them after the —— over the last 12 hours or so. the north korean leader says that what donald trump said was unprecedented rude nonsense, that he is a mentally deranged, rogue gangster, that was one of the phrases are used. going forward , one of the phrases are used. going forward, the north korean leader says he is considering the hardest —— the highest level of countermeasure in history, and the north korean foreign minister in new york hinted at what that could mean. what north korea are suggesting, it doesn't mean they are going to do it, is that they may look to detonate a nuclear bomb somewhere in the pacific ocean. that would be extraordinary. that would cause a huge uproar and escalate this crisis, if it were to happen. stocks have fallen in this part of the world on the markets as a result. japan says it is totally unacceptable as a suggestion, and russia, china and south korea urge calm. it really does feel like the war of words is escalating. it is still going up, it has been ratcheted up, but also, you have the potential future actions by north korea getting even more serious. 0k. we will be keeping a very close eye on it, obviously. thank you, danny. 0ne on it, obviously. thank you, danny. one of written's most senior police officers has warned the counterterrorism effort is facing a strain in other areas of policing and is not sustainable. sara thornton, the head of the national police chiefs' council, argues that funding is needed to maintain day—to—day policing in england and wales. five terror attacks in britain in six months. security experts say it's a sign of a shift in the threat of terrorism which could take 30 years to eliminate. it poses a big challenge for the police service. now one of brtain's most senior officers has spoken out about the need for extra funding. writing on the national police chiefs council website, sara thornton says the counterterrorism policing budget is being cut by 7.2% in the next three years. miss thornton says that's a real concern giving the alarming nature and volume of the threat. she says the pressure this creates is not sustainable because there are fewer resources overall, particularly in neighbourhood policing. one of the things that we absolutely value as our part of our fight against terrorism is neighbourhood police officers, out there in neighbourhoods, building relationships, talking to the public and picking up bits of information and bits of intelligence. if we don't have that footprint, and we're very worried that that has reduced over the last few years, then we won't pick up information. but just as importantly we won't have that really important relationship with the public. the home office says it is sensitive to the pressures on police forces and is in discussion with them about the problems. but there are also fresh concerns about whether there are enough firearms officers. a new survey is expected to show growing support among the police for more of them to be trained to use weapons. danny shaw, bbc news. the mexican president says people may still be buried alive in the ruins of 10 buildings in mexico city after tuesday's devastating earthquake. across the country 273 people are known to have been killed. 0ur correspondent rajini vaidyanathan has the latest. banks and building societies are to make checks on all account holders to try to identify illegal immigrants. from january staff will have to search customers' names against a database of known illegal immigrants supplied by the home 0ffice. financial institutions will have to report any names they discover and freeze or close the account. the united nations is to launch an investigation into the massacre of the yazidis, and minority group in iraq, by so—called islamic state. the international human rights lawyer amal clooney, has campaigned to raise awareness of the genocide of the yazidis. she spoke to our chief international correspondent lyse doucet in new york. amal clooney, how big a step forward is this in legal terms? it's a huge step, lyse, it's really a milestone for the victims of isis, like nadia. what's happened today is that the council has voted to establish an international investigation to collect evidence of isis crimes. so for the first time the un is saying to isis terrorists that if they commit genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, they will be held to account in a court of law. it is now 710 a.m.. we will have the sport and the weather coming up later on. right now, let's return to our lead story. it is 15 months since the uk voted to leave the eu. but there is still little meat on the bones of theresa may's post—brexit plans. today the prime minister is making a speech in florence where she is expected to propose a transition deal with the eu to smooth the uk's exit. but is that what all british politicians want? we can speak to two with very opposing views, labour's heidi alexander and the tories‘ peter bone. thank you both forjoining us. let's begin with you, peter. let's find out where you stand. you are in an interesting position. a conservative mp, but not necessarily going with what the grain of what the cabinet has said lately, aura g reve lately. the cabinet has said lately, aura greve lately. you do know not what —— you do not know what they have agreed. i have been pretty supportive of the government. we are going to end free movement, we are not going to pay the eu billions of pounds, we are going to make our own laws in our own country and our own judges are going to judge them. if she says that i think the whole country will be very happy. the detail of how we get there is up for negotiation. what i hope she restates the founding principles of why people voted to leave the eu in june 2016. heidi alexander, what are you hoping to hearfrom june 2016. heidi alexander, what are you hoping to hear from theresa may's speech today in florence?” wa nt may's speech today in florence?” want to hear a change in both tone and substance from the prime minister. i think over the last year, we have heard a lot of threats. she has talked about withering co—operation on security if she doesn't get what she wants. we have heard that she will threaten a slashing corporation tax and a low regulation economy. i think she needs to drop those threats and come up needs to drop those threats and come up witha needs to drop those threats and come up with a credible plan. i think she needs to be reasonable about the financial contributions the uk will need to make in order to honour its international obligations. i think she needs to come up with a good offer on she needs to come up with a good offeron eu she needs to come up with a good offer on eu citizens' writes, and obviously this issue of transition. —— citizens' rights. this has been blindingly obvious to all of us all year and blindingly obvious to all of us all yearandl blindingly obvious to all of us all year and i cannot leave it has taken this long to accept this. regardless of what is forward, are we not at the mercy of michel barnier and the eu in terms of what they agree, regardless of what we propose? well, i think that we need to be grown up in these negotiations. 0n the evidence of what has happened over the last year, i do not think we have approached it in the right way. i think it is british people who have been paying the price for the uncertainty, really, it is if you look at what has happened in the past 12 months we have gone from having the fastest it —— fastest growing economy in the g7 to the slowest. we have also seen prices going up in our shops because the pound has been devalued by 15%. it is more expensive to go on holiday. people are becoming increasingly worried about theirjobs. it is essential that the prime minister is realistic about this transition period and i would like to see her put permanent single market membership and customs union membership and customs union membership back on the table. peter, it is clear that you disagree? yes, with pretty much everything. we have record employment. unemployment is at its lowest for a0 years. people we re at its lowest for a0 years. people were telling us that the world would end if we left the eu. clearly it is not happening. i do think that whatever happens with coming out at the end of march, if the eu are going to be so intransigent and don't want to have any deal with us, so be it. the fact is, we are being very, very generous and open. they are being very awkward and elitist. there is a suggestion that over the transition period, the two year transition period, the two year transition period, the uk is still going to have to pay money into the eu. up to thejune of around £18 billion. peter loan, you have been clear you do not think we should pay a penny? absolutely right. fact is, and nobody can argue with this, is that over £200 billion has been given to the eu since we have been in it. we subsidise the rest of europe. i mean, that was one of the reasons that we voted to come out of the eu. to start giving them billions of pounds more makes no sense. i think that is a fundamental principle. if we were to be paying billions of pounds four years and yea rs billions of pounds four years and years to come i do not think that would be acceptable to the british people. heidi alexander, as somebody who was reluctant to leave the eu but now agrees that the country has voted for brexit, at transition deal, how do you feel about this, in terms of smoothing the way for the exit, the two year transition deal? i think exit, the two year transition deal? ithinka exit, the two year transition deal? i think a transition deal is absolutely essential. i think we need certainty for businesses. if you are a firm and you are negotiating contracts with your european counterparts, or if you are trying to sell to european consumers, the uncertainty that exists around whether you might have to pay tariff low, i think we need to pay tariff low, i think we need to do away with that, so that we can give certainty to the economy. i think beyond that, though, we also need to understand what the long—term plan is, as opposed to the hotair we have had from government over the past year. let's be honest. we talked about those threats earlier that theresa may was making, but all we have heard over the last 12 months is brexit means brexit, we will have a red, white and blue brexit. it is all absolutely nonsense , brexit. it is all absolutely nonsense, to be honest. we have to come up with a credible plan. transition is blindingly obvious, but there is also a problem about delaying this economic cliff edge for businesses and pushing it out from 2019 out until 2021 or 2032. that is what i am really concerned about. peter, briefly, has theresa may got her cabinet together in a position to show that she is a strong leader to take us through brexit now, as heidi alexander says, after some periods and months of uncertainty? uncertainty is just rubbish. the bills are going through parliament. we've made our position clear. heidi talks about a cliff edge and not what —— not know what is happening. they are the ones causing the problems. you couldn't have a more flexible, willing, open and generous prime minister than we have got. but whatever happens, theresa may and is going to get us out of the european union by march 2019. let us look at the weather for today. funny time of year, isn't it? you don't know what to wear. the sun comes out, it gets warm... you have hit the nail on the head. that will be the case today because we do begin ona be the case today because we do begin on a fairly nippy notes. the shot, typicalfor some. a bit of dense mist and fog. a noticeable chill in the air. temperatures below freezing in parts of northern scotla nd freezing in parts of northern scotland but on the outskirts of some of the towns and cities across other parts of scotland and england, just a few degrees above freezing. a different story to northern ireland. becoming extensive. rain rain will spread into western parts of scotland. away from that, the morning commute, away from the mist and fog, the journey home will be something different. the those of you across parts of lincolnshire, the east midlands, you will probably stay dry all day long. as charlie said, warm and up into this afternoon, 18, 19 degrees. start to the evening rush—hour across south—west england. that spreads into the west midlands and fairly erratically up ‘s dash across parts of northern england. northern ireland, after wet morning, the evening commute will be a dry and bite one. the patchy rain and drizzle becomes confined to parts of the midlands. lots of cloud around, nowhere near as chilling as the knightsjust gone. nowhere near as chilling as the knights just gone. the weekend does start off on a fairly great note. there will be some patchy rain and drizzle. some brightness in northern ireland, saying stony northerns —— sayings stay stating —— stay in sunny in northern scotland. a grey damp start of the of sunshine into the afternoon. the weather front works its way in, quickly clearing through the morning. the sunday, parts of western scotland. and eventually western england. eastern scotla nd eventually western england. eastern scotland and much of eastern england, it stays dry throughout sunday. temperatures of around 2a degrees but across the board, temperatures a little bit above where they should be. a bit of to psy—tu rvy where they should be. a bit of topsy—turvy weather conditions. it is the start of the autumn equinox today. vesey or sunrise and sunset times. not quite equal day and equal night yet. that will happen later when we call it the equilux. the equilux is when you eventually get equal day and equal night.” equilux is when you eventually get equal day and equal night. i love that. equinox, at equilux. now we know. more and more parents are being asked to make regular payments to help support their child's school. that's the conclusion of research by the parent teachers association and bbc breakfast. it found that more than a0—percent of parents in england, wales and northern ireland had been asked to donate money, with payments averaging around 10—pounds a month, as jayne mccubbin reports. many parents here at st aden's primary in london are hacked off. you couldn't afford to pay, even if you want to do? no, i couldn't. he is being asked to do what more and more are asked, making a regular donation to support their child's school. if we need to fund the school it is private, not public. no resentment or anger? no. a bit cross with the government they are not funding the schools they should be but not with the school. there is sympathy for the school here. all those figures were up slightly on the year before. the 2% of pa rents on the year before. the 2% of parents said they donated up to £10 a month. 38% of parents said they did not want to donate at all. head teacher anne etchings says she has lost four support staff already and she wants to use donations to protect funding we have the same number of children in the school so it has an impact on the support we can provide the children and puts more pressure on the staff who are here. the head of governors has asked parents to pay whatever they can afford. weren't there are other options or other ways? we had already looked at every single line of our budget. we felt it was morally very difficult but we are in a crisis. in northern ireland, education budgets are being cut. while governments in england and wales told us they are spending more per pupil in cash terms but after inflation, even schools here face cuts in real terms. the fact is our schools are facing a funding crisis which is a scale which can't be solved by parents having a whip around. it's not a sustainable or equitable way to fund our schools because there will always be schools in areas where the parent community cannot make these payments. whether or not parents give a helping hand is down to parents. no school can demand regular payments. some are worried where this trend will end. be worried this will become the new normal. michelle is with us now. this is some of your research. can you clarify something? a school trip or a specific thing, these are sums of money, a standing order, a monthly amount. the schools asking voluntarily for parents to engage in. what we are finding as more and more schools are engaging with parents so as to encourage a regular monthly donation. 0n parents so as to encourage a regular monthly donation. on top of the practice you have just described. formal stream of money into the system. but it is still voluntary. as important. before we get onto white is voluntary, our parents being told how much to give voluntarily? or is itjust if you wa nt to voluntarily? or is itjust if you want to help, give us something? both practices take place. but increasingly, these schools are suggesting announced that parents could donate. it reallyjust depends where you are across the country. in our survey, we found that most parents who were donating, which is about one third, were donating up to £10 a month. increasingly, it was in -- it £10 a month. increasingly, it was in —— it was creeping into the £10, £30 bracket. if a parent doesn't donate, is that visible, do people know this family hasn't donated ? is that visible, do people know this family hasn't donated? if you can't afford to send a child, the child doesn't honour school journey, that's obvious but the concern is that's obvious but the concern is that all the other parents are donating and you don't, you are seen as perhaps lesser or not part of the team? the government guidance is absolutely clear, that no parent should be disadvantaged if they can't afford to take part. these are generally additional activities where it is the contribution which is voluntary servi onus is on schools to make it absolutely clear that there needs to be sufficient volu nta ry that there needs to be sufficient voluntary contributions for things to go to head. —— so the onus. the messaging and framing is important, that parents don't feel under excessive pressure to donate and thatis excessive pressure to donate and that is important. the big picture here in what they are able to do with the resources available, so the government offers this, if they didn't do this, was immovably they feel they have to in order to provide the services that they want to. if they didn't do this, what would be the impact on what a school can offer. that is the schools to communicate. what is interesting is that we asked parents where they thought this money was going. about two thirds of the parents polled we re ui'isui'e two thirds of the parents polled were unsure and didn't know where their contribution was going. every school works differently in terms of how they invest their school fund that was clear to me really is it's a very clear message to schools that they need to communicate and engage pa rents they need to communicate and engage parents more clearly the issue of this uncertainty arises, particularly in a climate where they may be increasing donations in future. thank you for your time this morning. then is outside the london stock exchange spending the morning in the city. because you are looking ata in the city. because you are looking at a turbulent time for ryanair and it appears michael o'leary hasn't really helped smooth over some cracks in relationship with the staff. good morning. we've nipped outside the stock exchange, a glorious morning in london but not so glorious morning in london but not so glorious for ryanair passengers. remember, ryanair, your‘s largest airline. 55 —— 50 flights, every single day, and that's because it doesn't have enough pilots. changing toa doesn't have enough pilots. changing to a new rotor and that's caused all sorts of chaos. i've been hearing this morning about how much it could cost the airline, up to 25 million euros, £25 million and some expect that to go even higher. this continues, the travel and the weather. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. a former gang—member has told bbc london how acid is increasingly being used as a status weapon. acid attacks are on the rise in the capital. one youth group — which is working with young offenders — has warned that carrying domestic products like drain cleaner for use as a weapon is now considered something of a rite of passage. it's actually happening, grooming is taking place, there is an elder manipulating and exploiting a younger man by making him believe that this is an exclusive item which can be purchased from your local diy store. it's the mindset and the grooming behind that which is actually allowing the young men to form a part of the family that he belongs. a man and a woman have been charged with murder after a badly burned body was discovered in the garden of a south—west london home. the victim was found at a property in wimbledon park road in southfields on wednesday. police say they can't yet tell if they were male or female— or how old they were. two men arrested in connection with the explosion at parsons green tube station have been released without charge. the men, aged 21 and a8, were arrested in hounslow on saturday and in south wales, on wednesday. we still have ongoing works on the overground. let's get the weather. yesterday evening's rain has now cleared and it's been a chilly night so it is a cool start this morning, temperatures away from the towns are back to six or seven degrees with patches of mist and fog so if you are out and about, take care. the patches of fog should have gone by around nine, ten o'clock. lots of sunshine around today. top temperatures of 18 or 19 celsius. the air is cooler but plenty of sunshine. just a little bit more cloud as we head through the afternoon. we will stay dry as we head through much of the evening. a weather front pushing in from the west. that is still going to be with us into tomorrow morning. a damp start to saturday as well. possibly some drizzle through the morning. southerly winds, so it will feel quite mild despite the cloud and the cloud should eventually break as we head through the afternoon, top temperatures of 19 degrees but high pressure digs in over the weekend. going to stay dry on sunday. lots of decent spells of sunshine, temperatures as high as 23 degrees. i'll be back in half an hour — just time to tell you there's a special bbc radio london breakfast programme with vanessa feltz this morning from north kensington to mark one hundred days since the grenfell tower disaster. now it's back to charlie and naga. hello, this is accessed with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. it is 7:31 a.m.. theresa may munchetty and charlie stayt. it is 7:31a.m.. theresa may will deliver a major speech on brexit in florence later today. the prime minister will argue both the uk and the eu have a shared responsibility to make the process work smoothly. she is expected to say explicitly, for the first time, the uk will seek a transition deal which could last for up transition deal which could last for up to two years after we leave the eu, during which written would pay brussels up to £18 billion. —— the uk would pay brussels. one of the uk's most senior police officers has warned the huge counterterror effort is placing a strain on other areas of policing that is not sustainable. the home office says it is working with police on the demands they face, but sara thornton, head of the national police chiefs council, argues more funding is needed to maintain day—to—day policing in england and wales. one of the things we absolutely value as part of our fight against terrorism is having neighbourhood police officers who are out there making neighbourhoods, building relationships, talking to the public, picking up it's of information and intelligence. if we do not have that footprint, i am very worried that that has reduced over the last few years, then we will not pick up that information. just as importantly, we will not have that important relationship with the public. the north korean leader, kim jong—un, has described donald trump as mentally deranged. in a rare personal statement via state media the north korean leader said mr trump would pay dearly for his recent speech to the un. the us president said on tuesday that if america was forced to defend itself it would totally destroy north korea. the mexican president says people may still be buried alive in the ruins of ten buildings in the capital, mexico city, after tuesday's devastating earthquake. across the country 273 people are known to have been killed. around 200 people remain unaccounted for in the capital and millions have been left without electricity. banks and building societies are to make checks on all current account holders to try to identify illegal immigrants. from january, staff will have to search customers' names against a database of known illegal immigrants supplied by the home office. financial institutions will have to report any names they discover and freeze or close the account. the united nations is to launch an investigation into the massacre of the yazidis, a minority religious community in iraq, by so—called islamic state. the international human rights lawyer amal clooney, has campaigned to raise awareness of the genocide of the yazidis. she spoke to our chief international correspondent lyse doucet in new york. amal clooney, how big a step forward is this in legal terms? it's a huge step, lyse, it's really a milestone for the victims of isis, like nadia. what's happened today is that the council has voted to establish an international investigation to collect evidence of isis crimes. so for the first time the un is saying to isis terrorists that if they commit genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, they will be held to account in a court of law. those are the main stories this morning. mike is here with the sport. sometimes, in all things, relationships go wrong. they go sour sometimes and things have to change. this is one of those stories? yes, the last time we will see diego costa in a chelsea shirt. things got personal and over the summer hill is told he was no longer wanted. do we know why? it goes to the start of the year, or early in 2017, when he was left out of a trip to leicester, we understand, because of fallout with a fitness coach. the rest of it has pretty much stayed behind closed doors at the moment. it all came out in the summer. he was told by text, he claimed, that he was not wanted any more and he felt like he was being treated like a criminal when chelsea put the price of him up so much that it was difficult for him to get a move back to spain. but now it is finally happening. he has done really well at the club. 58 goals and 200 appearances, yes. nobody is irreplaceable. yes, there is no i in team. for chelsea, according to some of the papers, it is a case of good riddance. those 20 goals last season we re riddance. those 20 goals last season were not enough, when he was no longer wanted, and when the move fell through in the summer transfer window, the spanish international even ripped —— even refused to return to london. he will move to real madrid in january after personal terms on the medical are confirmed. emma hayes of chelsea, and laura harvey, who manages in america, are two candidates whom kelly smith thinks should be considered to replace mark sampson who was sacked on wednesday for what the fa say was "inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour while working at bristol academy. smith, who's england's record goal scorer, hopes lessons can be learned and has warned the fa to take their time over the appointment. england legend kelly smith has told the bbc she hopes mark sampson's replacement as england manager is a woman. there are a few names that are touted at the moment. laura harvey, who i played out under arsenal, out of seattle, and emma hayes at chelsea. those are the two top female managers in my eyes at the moment who are being touted for that job. whether they go for it, whether they are interested, i suppose time will tell. at least attention can return to matters on the pitch and the return of the women's super league. it starts with a merseyside derby tonight with everton hosting liverpool, and then the champions, and double winners, manchester city have a new experience this weekend travelling down to somerset to face the debutants at this level, yeovil ladies. now the last time motherwell won the scottish league cup, clement atlee was prime minister. it was 1950. but they might fancy their chances this year after reaching the semi—finals and beating aberdeen who are unbeaten in the league this season and 3—0 as well thanks mainly to their hot shot, louis moult, who scored twice. they'll play rangers in the last four. st helens can start making their play off plans in the rugby league, they're all but there now after a convincing 30—4 win over salford, whose own hopes had already gone. it takes saints up to third. talking of tennis, the tantalising prospect of nadal and federer teaming up in doubles. pitched as tennis‘s answer to the ryder cup, the laver cup will see six of europe's best players take on six of their best counterparts from the rest of the world. they will play singles and doubles in this exhibition event. i'm very happy he's on my side and not on the other side. i played a lot up against rafa, so many occasions, big matches, nine grand slam finals so finally to have him on my side is a joy. we talked about playing doubles a long time ago, it never happen so of course i would love to share the other side of the net this time around, maybe this time it will be doubles if bjorn agrees, we will have to see how practice goes and bjorn will take the ultimate decision. if you are wondering what bjorn was doing their nxt federer, he is the manager of team europe. famously somebody who does not speak very much. i wonder what he is like in the dressing room. we have interviewed him many times in access, he is quietly spoken, he chooses his words carefully. he has real presence, a real borer when he speaks. —— a realaura real presence, a real borer when he speaks. —— a real aura when he speaks. now, footballers can strike with their left and right feet but until now, in cricket, bowlers have had to chose, between using their right or left arms in the same over. but pakistan's 21—year—old pace bowler yasirjan is in the uk hoping to change that. he can bowl with both and is training at lords for six weeks, under the guise of the mcc. they want bowlers to be given the choice of which arm they bowl with during an over. and while formula one teams take a rest this weekend, i'll show you what happened when i took a red sofa for a spin. don't worry, naga and charlie, not our red sofa, but one that is roadworthy and can travel 87 miles per hour. we will meet the man who is trying to get more youngsters into motorsport and engineering. the reaction was priceless. they were wondering if it was something in their beer. no, it is real. thank you, mike. you should have done it ina you, mike. you should have done it in a dentist's chair. we were talking about teeth, so it would have been perfect. have you got good teeth? my top teeth are ok, the bottom row is a bit crooked. you have a beautiful smile. all children in the uk should be taken to see the dentist before their first birthday — that's the message of a new campaign aimed at improving the dental health of youngsters. the british society of paediatric dentistry says it's hoping to reach families early so it can provide support on prevention. only 3% of babies were taken to the dentist before their first birthday in the year to march. 80% of children aged between one and two had not visited an nhs dentist in the past year. and a quarter of five—year—olds in england have tooth decay. we'rejoined now by sara hurley, chief dental officer for england, and dentist claire stevens. you have brought in some items for us, including ajarof you have brought in some items for us, including a jar of teeth. these are teeth that have been removed, who can explain this for us? this is one afternoon's work for me, sadly. that's jar contains over 60 teeth. some of those were extracted from children as young as two. 16 teeth in their work structure from 12—year—old child. in their work structure from 12-year-old child. 16! 16 baby teeth. how many did that leave? none. he still has four to come in. people will immediately be reeling from that. why did 16 teeth have to be removed from one child's mouth? because of decay that was present in there. basic message is the family had not been aware of. continued bottle use, passive those —— pacifiers, not brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, key prevention messages. that child had only first accessed a dentist because he was in pain. that is why this is important. absolutely vital. we need to reach children as soon as their teeth come through. parents should be encouraged to take their child to the dentist for a checkup, certainly before their first birthday. sarah hurley, you are the chief dental officer for england. why do you think this message is not getting through? i think there is a lot on parents' plate early in their child was mac life. lots of messages being thrown about by different agencies, but not necessarily when it comes to teeth. we want to work with general practitioners, health visitors, nursing staff, all of those people who see children on a regular basis to make sure those consistent messages are going through. please bring your child. the doors are open to you see your child it is a dental check by one. what is the most conflicting message? i think people misunderstand, they have this idea that baby teeth do not matter. well, they do matter. they are going to be a great start in life are a smile for life. can you explain that one? this myth that baby teeth do not matter. the thought process there is, you are going to lose the teeth anyway, so why does it matter if they are not in very good condition? teeth still have the potential to cause pain, swelling, infection, sleepless nights, time off school. do they affect the next set of teeth? they can do. if they are left there, i'm treated, you can get structural problems with the adults eat that come, and early loss can cause problems with spacing, so you how more likely to need braces. one practical note, we have done stories before about access to dentists. maybe people are using it as an excuse or maybe not, but maybe some people are thinking, i tried to go to the dentist and they said there was a big waiting list. what is the rules about this? you have a young child, do you have a right of access toa child, do you have a right of access to a dentist? nhs england's has a statutory of —— statutory obligation to provide care based on need. in local areas we are asking them to look at areas we have identified where there are access issues. we are looking at, we are working... so thatis are looking at, we are working... so that is a problem. people are trying to do the right thing, and you go to the dentist, and they say we cannot see you. you ask around and you cannot find anyone. there are two things we have done. clare has challenged the dental profession to see four additional children before the age of one. so there is an opportunity for you. we are working with local commissioners, local authorities, and there are 13 key areas where we access is difficult and there is a programme that is about to start, in fact it has restarted in manchester, it was announced last wednesday, one of the key areas is to improve access and awareness in children, to be brought in to start about oral health journey early. the first visit, it doesn't actually have to involve much, does it? absolutely not. pa rents much, does it? absolutely not. parents should not be worried that their child might misbehave or not manage an examination. what we are trying to encourage as a positive lifelong relationship with dentistry. that dentist may talk about winning. we are here to support with the selection of cups, to start introducing an open top a free flow cup, so that when you turn it upside down it comes out, you do not have to suck to get the fluid out. we start introducing those six months to stop the bottle by one year, to get key prevention messages, using fluoride toothpaste and keeping of those sweet treats. don't they believe in the tooth fairy any more? why do they let you ta ke fairy any more? why do they let you take all those teeth? unfortunately it isa take all those teeth? unfortunately it is a very saddening part of my job, but the way that i see it is, i am leaving those children of pain and dined in supporting the families to make sure that they are not act to make sure that they are not act to see me again. it is an important message, but i will very happily give you those teeth back to take away with you. yes, thank you. thank you both. good morning. officially, it is the start of autumn, meteorologically and astronomically, the autumn equinox in what has started is. amazing pictures. a similar sunny start across much of eastern wales, england and a good part of scotland. it is these areas where we may have the sunshine bulbuls and a chill in the sunshine bulbuls and a chill in the air. temperatures close to freezing in a fair number of sports and if you're travelling across parts of east anglia, kenton, some dense patches of fog. it's all formed in these clear skies. a different story in northern ireland. a different sort of picture, raining quite heavily and it will do throughout the morning rush—hour, really until you end of morning. the western fringes of england and wales, early afternoon. the sum, in eastern scotland, dry all out to the evening commute is not beyond. staying that way across parts of lincolnshire and east anglia. casting aside the warm jacket by the afternoon and evening. a different sort of rush—hour. mostly light and patchy. some might just sort of rush—hour. mostly light and patchy. some mightjust avoided. drizzle across scotland as well but northern ireland, the journey drizzle across scotland as well but northern ireland, thejourney home will be much better. the cloud and rain will become mainly confined to the midlands and east anglia. patchy rain and drizzle. a big difference to mike baird last night. it will feel a good deal milder. the morning cloud and patchy rain and drizzle across southern counties of england and wales a bit further northwards. the essential swathe of uk on saturday will stay fairly cloudy throughout. a bit of brightness in northern ireland. not that across northern scotland. brightening up across the south. we keep the southerly winds into sunday. the weather son —— the weather pushes in. the rest of the day should be fine. a bit uncertain here but it looks like it will push across western scotland and parts of england and wales. with dry and bright weather towards the eastern half of the country, it will feel warm and that it has done all week. up warm and that it has done all week. up to 2a degrees, the absolute high. even with the cloud and rain, temperatures were they should be the best time of year. our weather is a bit topsy and turvey. it is the autumn equinox, officially autumn but in the taylor household, that started a few weeks ago when the bank it came back out on the sofa. what about you do? later, soper, did you type it around you? as soon as it comes out, autumn this year. my blanket is out all year. yes, we know. thanks three much, mats. michael o'leary, the chief executive of ryanair michael o'leary, the chief executive of rya nair has michael o'leary, the chief executive of ryanair has had a tough time. he admits he made a major boo—boo when he was handling the leave for pilots which led to the cancellation of majorflights. which led to the cancellation of major flights. let us talk to ben who is outside the london stock exchange. you have got some guests because it is quite unusual how this has been handled and it's not going down well. i want to borrow that blanket. we are talking about the impact on passengers and that a bubble that has been rya nair this passengers and that a bubble that has been ryanair this week and you will know they have said they need to cancel a0 or 50 flights every single day. a big mess up for the firm. now trying to put it right. what will it mean when it comes to the cost. a familiar face. what will it mean when it comes to the cost. a familiarface. simon calder is with us and henrietta, let's start with you as far as the cost of this is concerned. yesterday we heard from michael leary that this is going to cost a lot of money to put right in the cost could be higher than they think. 25 million euros to compensate customers. michael o'leary said yesterday he didn't expect that to have a knock—on impact to their estimated range of profits having said that, there is a question around what compensation the pilots are going to wa nt compensation the pilots are going to want going forward, if they have to increase, losing pilots to other airlines. this could be quite costly to be alone in the future if you think about additional compensation the pilots. simon, maybe you can clarify, that this is notjust about pilots holidays, there is a lot more at play. they have been offered more money but they have said no. why? there has been a whole lot of discontent with people who say the company simply does not play fair. ryanair is company simply does not play fair. rya nair is now company simply does not play fair. ryanair is now starting to throw money at the problem and they are taking on 125 new pilots. it's not quite as easy as hiring an ordinary person off the street. you don't check their licence and say, off you go. they will probably get through to the end of october and then things will calm down. but the huge amount of anger out there, notjust within some people but also from one third of a million people who have seen their travel plans wrecked. but it was a week ago i got the first calls from people saying, my flight has been cancelled at six hours notice. a lot of anger but i agree, from a long—term perspective, ryanair will probably sub —— survive perfectly intact. for the industry asa perfectly intact. for the industry as a whole, it a tough time. the airline can afford this. it is a challenging time. there is a big factor in cost, with huge competition. british airways example is adjusting the proposition to compete in that space. what things like easyjet are trying to do, they are tackling budget partners to offer european travel through to transatlantic travel and rya nair we re transatlantic travel and rya nair were with talks with norwegian but that seemed to collapse earlier in the week. there is an awful lot of change, pricing press are going forward. -- pricing pressure. you gotan forward. -- pricing pressure. you got an interesting take on why this could be bad news for other airlines even could be bad news for other airlines even though they might be profiting in the short—term of people booking. easyj et have in the short—term of people booking. easyjet have had a fantastic week because they are saving, we are not ryanair. however, ryanair is aggressively active. that means they wa nt to aggressively active. that means they want to fill 186 and will cut fares as low as they need to go in order to do that and that means real serious pressure on rival airlines. it's going to be a fantastic winter to be an airline traveller. thanks so much. a real challenge for the industry. mr buckle by no means over yet. we will hear from michael o'leary and how they intend to get this right. 25 million euros could be the one but it could be much more costly. we will see were little later. bees behind us. these are the workhorses of the natural world. researchers are trying a new experiment involving connecting insects to the internet. our technology correspondent, rory cellan—jones, reports. behind a fire station in stockport, some bees are about to get connected. an australian scientist leading the monitoring project is fitting them with a chip which will allow them to be tracked. we are using superglue and what we will do, we will pick up a tag, find a friend. it does take some time. and it takes a little bit of practice to get technique. jini not find it hard but i struggle to fit a tiny backpack onto a bee. some of these desperately want to be tagged. and now the bees will be counted in an out of the hive. we understand more of the behaviour when they leave the hive and when they return, who they are travelling with, we are identifying individual insects which we have not been able to do in the past. cisco has recruited beekeepers across greater manchester to take part in the programme. one hope is the data will give greater understanding of what keeps bees healthy. it's very difficult to look inside the hive and know what is happening with an individual bee so by tagging in individual bee, you get to know how long it lives. the bees are a number of things being connected to the internet including trams, and rubbish bins. it is part of the internet of things and it's supposed to provide data to make the city smarter. what you have is a live feed from the centre of manchester. in the government—funded smart city project, all sorts of internet devices and these are being monitored across manchester. benjamin disraeli said on the 19th century, what people do today in manchester, the rest of the world do tomorrow. this is about making it through but when he first century. and the bees are part of that. they are, it's a real problem to be solved for everyone in the world. we only managed to get about half a dozen bees looked up at over the coming months, thousands will be at work, providing data which could make manchester a healthier and smarter city. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. a former gang—member has told bbc london how acid is increasingly being used as a status weapon. acid attacks are on the rise in the capital. one youth group — which is working with young offenders — has

significant rise in the number of race hate attacks against police officers in london, according to exclusive figures obtained by the bbc. reported incidents went from around a00 last year to more than 650 so far this year. they ranged from verbal abuse to actual bodily harm. yesterday evening's rain has now cleared and it's been a chilly night so it is a cool start this morning, temperatures away from the towns are back to six or seven degrees with patches of mist and fog so if you are out and about, take care. the patches of fog should have gone by around nine, ten o'clock. lots of

key speech on leaving the european union. a proposed two—year transition deal could cost the uk £18 billion. good morning, it's friday 22nd september. also this morning. mentally deranged — the north korean leader kimjon—un launches a stinging attack on donald trump as he promises the us president will pay dearly for his recent speech at the un. a senior police officer warns the fight against terror is pushing already stretched forces in england and wales to the limit. the growing numbers of families being asked to chip in for their child's education — bbc breakfast finds that more parents are being asked for cash for the classroom. good morning. a pilot shortage, a multimillion pound compensation bill and hundreds of cancelled flights. it's been a tough week for ryanair and its passengers. can europe's largest airline bounce back? i am in the city of london this morning to find out. relieve all round as costa is sold in the sport. he was no longer wa nted in the sport. he was no longer wanted and he has got a move back to his former club in spain. actress kelly mcdonald will be here to tell us about how a holiday in wales led to the creation of winnie the pooh. a chilly start with mist and fog, but most starting with sunshine, the evening commute may look different. i will tell you why and give you a forecast in 15 minutes. good morning. first our main story. theresa may will deliver a major speech on brexit in florence later today. the prime minister will argue that both the uk and the eu have a shared responsibility to make the process work smoothly. she is expected to say explicitly for the first time that the uk will seek a transition deal which could last for up to two years after we leave the eu. it's thought that this could include payments to brussels of up to £18 billion but the uk could retain access to the single market during that time. but the prime minister is also expected to say that after brexit has happened the uk will seek its own bespoke trade deal with the rest of the eu. so exactly how much detail can we expect from the prime minister's speech later? who better to ask than our assistant political editor norman smith who is in florence this morning. good morning. in that city steeped in european culture which is kind of the reason theresa may has gone there, it's an important day, important for her and important message. what do we know about what she may say? well, all the signs are theresa may is going to put on the table the sort of three—part offer to try to get these deadlocked brexit negotiations moving again. pa rt brexit negotiations moving again. part one is going to be clarity on the transitional deal. how long we wa nt to the transitional deal. how long we want to have to finalise our departure from the eu and she's going to suggest that could be two yea rs going to suggest that could be two years after march 2019. secondly, she's going to give a nod and wink as to how much cash we are prepared to pay during that period and she will say to eu leaders, we will continue to meet our existing budgetary obligations, she won't give a figure but we can kind of work it out, it comes to around £18 billion. lastly, we are told, she's going to give further reassurances on the rights of eu nationals living in the uk. that will all be packaged up in the uk. that will all be packaged up in very concilliatory language, speech taking place in florence, historical cultural heart of europe, to symbolise the fact that we are still going to be in europe, even though we are leaving the eu. the hope is all of that will create the sort of mood music in which the eu negotiators are prepared to move on to the second stage of the negotiations around our future trading relationship. it's a bold move trading relationship. it's a bold move to step into that position and make this speech as prime minister at this stage. some people saying those talks are in deadlock, how will we know whether her speech has made an impact? well, everything is going to hinge on how eu negotiators react. i suspect the initial reaction will be a little bit lu kewa rm reaction will be a little bit lukewarm because i think the view in brussels is that the offer of £18 billion is not enough because they say we have ongoing commitments beyond the transitional phase for a pension for european officials, loan liabilities, developmental cash, and within government i think they kind of know that but it's an opening offer, we are saying we could maybe do £18 billion but privately, i suspect the british government knows they may well have to go beyond that. similarly, on the rights of eu nationals, whatever we get today may not be the final offer. the key thing to remember is this is a negotiation. there's going to be brinkmanship on both sides. but the hope is mrsmay can just give enough today to make sure the negotiations keep moving forward and to end the deadlock. for the moment, thank you very much. that speech theresa may's speech happening later today, full coverage across the bbc throughout the day. one of britain's most senior police officers has warned that the huge counterterrorism effort is placing a strain on other areas of policing that is not sustainable. sarah thornton, the head of the national police chiefs council, argues that more funding is needed to maintain day—to—day policing in england and wales. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw has the details. five terror attacks in britain in six months. security experts say it's a sign of a shift in the threat of terrorism which could take 30 years to eliminate. it poses a big challenge for the police service. now one of brtain's most senior officers has spoken out about the need for extra funding. writing on the national police chiefs council website, sara thornton says the counterterrorism policing budget is being cut by 7.2% in the next three years. miss thornton says that's a real concern giving the alarming nature and volume of the threat. she says the pressure this creates is not sustainable because there are fewer resources overall, particularly in neighbourhood policing. one of the things that we absolutely value as our part of our fight against terrorism is neighbourhood police officers, out there in neighbourhoods, building relationships, talking to the public and picking up bits of information and bits of intelligence. if we don't have that footprint, and we're very worried that that has reduced over the last few years, then we won't pick up information. but just as importantly we won't have that really important relationship with the public. the home office says it is sensitive to the pressures on police forces and is in discussion with them about the problems. but there are also fresh concerns about whether there are enough firearms officers. a new survey is expected to show growing support among the police for more of them to be trained to use weapons. danny shaw, bbc news. the mexican president says people may still be buried alive in the ruins of ten buildings in the capital mexico city after tuesday's devastating earthquake. across the country 273 people are known to have been killed. our correspondent rajini vaidyanathan has the latest. the rescue effort is in full force here in mexico city. close to a0 buildings collapsed in the earthquake on tuesday. this building is in the fashionable la condesa district, which is nicknamed "hipster town", it is normally home to fashion designers, millennials and artists. this operation at the moment is a rescue operation. the marines and the armed forces here believe there are people inside and they're trying to make contact with them. as you can see, there are a lot of people and a lot of machinery as well working at the rubble. a lot of it is manual work, people passing bits of the rubble hand to hand to remove it very carefully because it's a precarious operation. international assistance has also arrived here. the israeli government has sent help and they're actually involved in this particular rescue operation. while people wait, there are doctors on stand—by as well ready to treat anyone who is rescued and who comes out. periodically, this place falls silent. people put their hands up and they are told to be silent while rescuers try to call out to people who they believe are trapped in the rubble. it's not just officials who are helping with the rescue efforts here, many of these people are volunteers giving up their own time and pitching in to try and rescue as many people as they can. the atmosphere here is very intense, it's one of anticipation. people are still hopeful that many more people will be found in the rubble alive. the united nations is to launch an investigation into the massacre of the yazidis, a minority religious community in iraq, by so—called islamic state. the international human rights lawyer amal clooney has campaigned to raise awareness of the genocide in the yazidis. she spoke to our chief international correspondent lyse doucet in new york. amal clooney, how big a step forward is this in legal terms? it's a huge step, lyse, it's really a milestone for the victims of isis, like nadia. what's happened today is that the council has voted to establish an international investigation to collect evidence of isis crimes. so for the first time the un is saying to isis terrorists that if they commit genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, they will be held to account in a court of law. the north korean leader kimjong un has described donald trump as mentally deranged. he said he would make mr trump pay dearly for his speech to the un general assembly on tuesday in which the us president warned that america would totally destroy north korea if it threatened the united states or its allies. joining us now from seoul is our correspondent danny savage. interesting, you rarely see kimjong un givea interesting, you rarely see kimjong un give a statement on television speaking in english, making this so public, his dislike and lack of respect for donald trump. yeah, i think it's interesting because i think it's interesting because i think it's interesting because i think it's the first time that people have been following this for yea rs people have been following this for years that say he's appeared in person to deliver a message. usually when north korea makes statements it's quoting him f you like. so, he is meeting trump head—on effectively. trump stands in front of the neighbourhoods and says he will destroy north korea if the country threatens america or allies. kimjong un country threatens america or allies. kim jong un responds country threatens america or allies. kimjong un responds now two or three days later saying that the language used by donald trump was unprecedented, rude nonsense. he says he is now thinking about a response and he accuses mrtrump of being a mentally deranged rogue gangster. it's the response the north koreans are hinting at which causing concern this morning. the foreign minister in new york was quoted by journalists as foreign minister in new york was quoted byjournalists as saying that north korea may consider detonating a nuclear bomb in the pacific ocean. that's of course beyond the borders of north korea and would be a real sort of ratcheting up of tension and actions in this crisis if they were to do that. it doesn't mean they're going to. when they say, hint at it, they may threaten but not actually carry it out. it's causing alarm in this region. china, south korea, calling for and the russians calling for calm over this. and japan, a country which is the only one on this planet to ever have suffered a nuclear attack, which has a pacific coastline says it's totally unacceptable what north korea are suggesting now. no sign of tensions dying down for the time being. taking a look at the latest escalation of words there. a british helicopter has been involved in a dramatic rescue of a mother and children draped by rising flood waters in puerto rico. the family had become trapped on a capsized boat amid hurricane maria. authorities in puerto rico are now urging residents to seek higher ground ahead of flash flooding in the aftermath of the storm. what happened here, as you can see, rescue workers were happened here, as you can see, rescue workers were able to get to the family on this capsized boat, lifting them to safety. amazing pictures seeing them approach. 18 people have been killed across the caribbean by this hurricane. it's the second to hit the region this month and the storms are battering the north coast of the dominican republic and haiti and is heading to the turks and caicos and the bahamas. amazing how low the helicopter is when you look at the lift—off. we understand it's a british helicopter. many british search and rescue have been involved in helping in various locations. there you can see the people are lifted off that capsized boat, clearly they were in great risk at that point. it was a successful mission carried out off the coast of puerto rico. we will get the weather with matt later on. we were talking about the search and rescue teams. search and rescue teams from around the world have flown to mexico to help in the search for survivors of tuesday's earthquake. for days now, rescuers have been removing rubble and using specialist equipment to try and locate anyone trapped under the many collapsed buildings. let's find out more about this delicate and difficult work. sean moore is from uk international search and rescue. you have been in many areas and countries where earthquakes have taken place, and seen the search and rescue operations under way, what have been your thoughts when you have been your thoughts when you have been your thoughts when you have been observing what's been shown on television, pictures of what's happening in mexico? clearly there's an awful lot of damage there, a0 plus buildings collapsed totally. but i think mexico have poured a lot of resources into this, they have deployed a lot of different teams from volunteers the military, so it's very well resourced and it also seems to be approached in a systematic way as well. i can also see a specialist equipment, the same kind of equipment, the same kind of equipment we would use when we take it overseas. they are probably doing as best they can to rescue those still trapped inside those building. there was quite a lot of focus into a school which had collapsed, there we re a school which had collapsed, there were some very a school which had collapsed, there were some very dramatic scenes of the rescue teams trying to get access to what they thought at that stage people who were still alive, there has been some confusion about what has gone on since then. but you have got several story building which has concertina down, difficult situation, explain to us some of the problems. every single collapsed structure falls under friendly and it lies differently, —— it falls down differently, we have a different approach on how we would look for people, the use of search equipment or search dogs, probing around the sides or into vogts, but then we would look to bring heavy equipment in and take the building apart. we would first attempt to break apart concrete slabs, if the search dogs had detected a life centre, we would then try to break through the concrete to identify any voids that were there. one of the things that we have seen, we have seen reports yesterday of a 13—year—old girl, a teenage girl trapped in the rubble, the building. the school building. now there are conflicting reports as to whether or not that was actually happening, how typical is this? there's chaos at the scene, isn't that? lots of volu nteers the scene, isn't that? lots of volunteers and we trying to help, it's sometimes difficult to get a clear picture of what's going on. it's sometimes difficult to get a clear picture of what's going onlj think that word, chaos, it is a chaotic scene. of the pictures you've seen, the amount of different rescue as you have seen, and of course friends and family, community members, they will always try to get you towards their collapsed building in the hope that you will rescue their relatives and friends. and even their relatives and friends. and eve n recover their relatives and friends. and even recover the bodies out of there. that is where the skill of there. that is where the skill of the rescue work comes into play, we have got to make a determination. how useful is it when people want to volunteer? they want to help but does that ever hinder the operation? most of the rescues that are carried out in large scale earthquake art carried out by community members and first responders. we come in to rescue people who are deeply trapped within buildings. we would also use the local community for intelligence, they could tell you how many people are in there, and where they would likely to be in the building. but we are also very conscious that the risks that are in post, we don't want to have anybody and up with a large slab of concrete on their head so we put a cordon around it but we would always work with the local community and first responders. thank you very much. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. it is the or to conduct crux today? yes, the official start to autumn. -- it is yes, the official start to autumn. —— it is the autumn equinox. it is quite a cold start across the country, england, wales, scotland in particular, temperatures on the rise but still well down into the lower single figures. the big exception is across ireland, the area of cloud is coming in to bring rain extensively, edging into western scotland. it will not take until the end of the morning before we start to see that in western wales and other parts of western england. the good part of central and eastern england, as well as eastern scotland, will stay dry so your morning commute will be dry and sunny, your journey so your morning commute will be dry and sunny, yourjourney home should be all right and after the chilly starts, it will be 18 or 19 degrees so you won't need your warm jacket. at 5pm, we will see outbreaks of rain come and go in wales, more of a brief through the afternoon. not a huge amount of rain eased of the pennines until beyond the evening rush—hour but we will see the odd spotin rush—hour but we will see the odd spot in scotland. in northern ireland, the second half of the day is much better than the day have started with dry and sunny weather. into tonight, the patchy rain and drizzle will become confined to the midlands and southern wales, central and southern england. further north, dry conditions but cloud and a breeze, so it will not be as chilly as the previous night. a fairly dull weekend start, patchy rain and drizzle will be going northwards through the midlands towards southern scotland. best ever weekend in northern ireland on saturday, and we can see highs of 19 in scotland. —— best day of the weekend is saturday in northern ireland. on sunday, some rain northern ireland pushes eastwards but ahead of that, southerly winds with us so it it will continue to feed in some reasonably mild air for many, including for northern ireland, wetter in scotland and western parts of england and wales. central and eastern areas, temperatures could get up to 2a degrees. even if you have got the cloud and rain, temperatures around where they should be for the time of year. it is the equinox today, if you look at the sunrise and sunset times across the sunrise and sunset times across the country, day and night not quite equal in length yet because of the way that the sunlight bends as it comes through the atmosphere. so the moment we get the equal day and night, it is cold the equilux and that will happen sunday into monday. do you know the sunrise and sunset? fairly similar, i think roughly five to seven, just after seven o'clock, on both. i love asking you questions like that! you are awful! i am, but ido like that! you are awful! i am, but i do enjoy it! more and more parents are being asked to make regular payments to help support their child's school. that's the conclusion of research by the parent teachers association and bbc breakfast. it found that more than a0% of parents in england, wales and northern ireland had been asked to donate money, with payments averaging around £10 a month, as jayne mccubbin reports. many parents here at st aden's primary in london are hacked off. you couldn't afford to pay, even if you want to do? no, i couldn't. zoheir is being asked to do what more and more are asked, making a regular donation to support their child's school. if we need to fund the school it is private, not public. no resentment or anger? no. a bit cross with the government they are not funding the schools but not with the school. there is sympathy for the school here. headteachers across the country say they are facing an unprecedented funding crisis and today a poll for bbc breakfast shows more and more are asking parents to plug the gaps. a296 are asking parents to plug the gaps. a2% said they have been asked to mcgregor contributions to their child's school, but there are regional variations, just 61% in london and 25% in the east midlands. all those figures were up slightly before. that is a cut so we had to lose that role. head teacher ann etchings says she has lost four support staff already and she wants to use donations to protect funding for the team she has left. we have the same number of children in the school so it has an impact on the support we can provide the children and puts more pressure on the staff who are here. the head of governors has asked parents to pay whatever they can afford. notan not an easy decision, she says, but essential. weren't there are other options or other ways? we had already looked at every single line of our budget. we felt it was morally very difficult but we are in a crisis. in northern ireland, education budgets are being cut. while in england and wales, they are spending more per pupil in cash terms but after inflation, even schools here face cuts in real terms. the fact is our schools are facing a funding crisis which is a scale which can't be solved by parents having whip around. it's not a sustainable or equitable way to fund our schools because there will always be schools in areas where the parent community cannot make these payments. whether or not parents give a helping hand is down to parents. no state funded school can demand regular payments but some fear where this trend will end. we are worried because it is becoming the new normal and we don't want that. you can email us at bbcbrea kfast@bbc. co. uk martin says he has made a few contributions to his children's school and hope they will rein in the trips that they have. jackie thinks that school donations are unfair because parents already pay towards their child education through taxes. anna thinks school donations are fine but on a purely volu nta ry donations are fine but on a purely voluntary basis. they have make the point out that it is ill voluntary, the change is that it is becoming more routine. —— they have made the point that it is still voluntary. it's been a turbulent week for ryanair and ben is at the london stock exchange taking a detailed look at how the company is faring. welcome to the city of london, we have been talking about the impact ofa have been talking about the impact of a pretty tumultuous week

about £25 million. so a big cost. i have a feeling we'll be talking about this more as the week goes on. good morning. it is the autumn statememt equinox. temperatures were down in single figures in places. for many of us we have this high pressure dominating the weather but to the west this weather front brings outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, that will push to scotland. any fog across the far south—east of england will tend to clear away over the next hour or so. for many parts, especially eastern and southern areas, we are looking at some sunshine into the afternoon. that rain across the west gradually moves that rain across the west gradually moves further eastwards throughout the day. clearing up across northern ireland and maximum temperatures typically about 15 to about 19. this evening and tonight that area of rain will continue to break up as it moves rain will continue to break up as it moves through the midlands. eventually into southern areas. cloudy to take us into the early hours of saturday morning. it should be dryer further north but with more cloud around its not going to be as cold as last night. temperatures no low are than about 11 or 12. into saturday high pressure dominating things towards the east. we have this weather front towards the west, a mixture of weather fronts straddling the uk and that really means that for saturday it's going to bea means that for saturday it's going to be a cloudy start to the day. there will be outbreaks and light and patchy rain across southern areas. some breaks in the cloud developing across the north of scotland, eventually by the afternoon across south wales and southern areas of england. elsewhere, it will remain cloudy. actually still quite mild or warm. temperatures about 17 to 19. it will turn even temperatures about 17 to 19. it will turn even warmer on temperatures about 17 to 19. it will turn even warmer on sunday. again with lots of sunshine across many eastern areas, but we will see rain moving through northern ireland and eventually into scotland, western areas of england and wales but top temperatures in the south—east up to about 22. more details of course can be found on the website. that's it from me for now, bye. this is business live from bbc news with rachel horne and jamie robertson. britain will push for a brexit transition period that would keep it in the
