manchester but is graphine living up to the hype? in sport, a six goal thriller at stamford bridge. chelsea held off a fight back from roma to draw in the champions league. we'll meet the cast behind the first ever opera written and performed in a yorkshire accent. you must be stupid. you need to get away, get away! and carol has the weather. if you are travelling, watch out for dense fog across parts of eastern england and the midlands. later, we will have some strong winds affecting the south—west approaches. theresa may has written an open letter to eu citizens in the uk. she says she will make the transition as easy as possible. in it, she says — we want people to stay and we want families to stay together. she goes on to say — we are in touching distance of an agreement. this all comes as 27 eu leaders gather in brussels for a summit later. our political correspondent chris mason is in westminster for us. everyone is over to brussels today. what can be done? something of an exodus from westminster. jeremy corbyn and the prime minister had towards brussels. this date, this summit, this get—together taking place has been circled in the diary with a big felt tip pen both here in westminster and in brussels for months because it was hoped that this would be the big breakthrough moment where talks would move on to oui’ moment where talks would move on to our future relationship with the european union as opposed to one tangling our current one. it's been clear for the last couple of weeks that wasn't going to happen so the key thing we are going to be looking for in the next 48 hours is any sense of a nudge, a nod, a wink in the direction of progress being made ata time the direction of progress being made at a time when there is another get—together due to take place in a couple of months‘ time, an attempt to try and unblock things really. the prime minister has published this but you referred to. 3 million people in the uk who are eu national soil —— nationals. the prime minister wants to give them certainty but bluntly, these talks are not worth they wanted to be and there is a huge argument to come about the big topic of money. ultimately, just how much money the uk is willing to stump up as part of getting out of the european union. we will talk later. we‘ll be talking to labour‘s shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer in an hour. a bbc investigation has discovered that more than 500 families have objected to a relative from donating an organ over the past five years despite them being on the donor register. nhs blood and transplant says the most common reason for families overriding a loved one‘s wishes is that the donation process takes too long. for many, becoming an organ donor is a crucially important life—and—death decision. now, data from nhs blood and transplant shows that since 2012, 505 people who had signed the donor register had that wish vetoed by their families. in the past year, the number of deceased donors was 1400, but 91 cases were blocked. under legislation, relatives don‘t have a right to override their loved one‘s pledge, but in practice, objections are being adhered to. the most frequent were from relatives who thought the donation process took too long, with other common complaints that the patient had suffered enough, and that there was divided opinion in the family. 0ne teenager who signed a register is clear her views should hold sway. i want the final say in what happens to me i die. when i signed, i wasn‘t aware of the whole thing that my family had to be supportive of the decision. and it seems like, well, what‘s the point of signing up if it could be overruled anyway? in 2015, in addition to the register, the welsh government introduced a policy of deemed consent under which it‘s assumed an individual has no objection to donating organs unless they‘ve said otherwise, though families are still consulted. similar changes are planned in england and scotland. and the message from those promotin organ donation is, whatever the law, it is as important as ever to discuss your wishes with loved ones. mark hutchings, bbc news. sir tom jones has told the bbc that he was sexually harassed at the start of his career. the singer said it only happened to him once but that the problem is widespread in the music industry. 0ur arts and entertainment correpondent colin paterson reports. for more than 50 years, sir tom jones is played up his reputation as a sex symbol but in an interview for 5 live‘s afternoon edition of the series launch of the voice, he says he was sexually harassed by a man in the music industry and it started in his career in the 1960s. the music industry and it started in his career in the 19605. at the his career in the 1960s. at the beginning, there were a few things like that. good grief. what is tied on women is tried on men as well. he did tell other people about the proposition at the time but the incident was never repeated. it was only once really. how did it make you feel? terrible. but i thought, i‘ve got to get away from this person and it can‘t be like this. sir tom jones had been giving his reaction to recent allegations and revelations surrounding the us film industry and said that to him, it was an all—too—familiar story. things are happening in the music industry as well. people complaining about publicists and different things. being expected to get a record contract just things. being expected to get a record contractjust like they do to get a film contract. there has a lwa ys get a film contract. there has always been that element there that people with power sometimes abuse it. he also said that when it came to the world of entertainment as a whole, he hopes that, as he put it, the cork was now out of the bottle and justice would be done. northern ireland‘s two most senior police officers are under investigation for misconduct in a public office. the bbc understands that the police 0mbudsman is examining allegations of criminal activity — it involves the chief constable, george hamilton, and his deputy, drew harris. it could amount to trying to pervert the course ofjustice — both deny any wrongdoing. millions of workers, particularly women, are trapped in low paid jobs with little chance of escape, according to new research. a study for the social mobility commission found that one in four low paid workers, which it defines as those earning below £8.25 per hour, were permanently stuck with little chance of earning higher salaries. the risk of terrorists attempting to bring down airliners is greater than ever according the the united states government. earlier this year, the us banned passengers carrying laptops and other devices in their hand luggage when travelling from 10 middle eastern airports. speaking ahead of a meeting of g7 interior ministers, the acting secretary of homeland security, elaine duke, said us authorities are working closely with the uk government to deal with the threat. that threat is probably higher than ever. we are in the midst of working with the uk and other countries on raising the baseline for global aviation security. it‘s a short—term, medium—term and long—term plan. a second and final deadline for catalonia to confirm whether or not it is breaking away from spain, expires at nine o‘clock this morning. the spanish government wants the catalan leader, carles puigdemont, to retract a unilateral declaration of independence he made last week. if he doesn‘t, ministers in madrid are expected to take control of parts of catalonia‘s administration. there‘s been a steep decline in the number of flying insects over the past three decades, which scientists say could have severe implications for all life on earth. research carried out in dozens of german nature reserves has shown a loss of more than 75% of flying insects — including butterflies, bees and moths. scientists have warned of the damaging consequences for wildlife due to the insects playing a vital role in pollination and providing a food source for birds. this has to be one of the most stunning free shows on earth. this is the natural phenomenon known as black sun. it‘s created by tens of thousands of starlings gathering in the sky for their nightly ritual, or murmuration. spanish paraglider, horacio llorens, travelled to denmark to embrace his dream of flying amongst the birds. the black sun dance occurs twice a year in spring and autumn and involves up to a million starlings. we would like to fly with them. i wonder how many times we waited. good morning. more champions league fun last night. we were talking about some fantastic results for english teams in the league. some more british teams, celtic and the mix. not such a good night of them but a great game at stamford bridge. three goals each, six goals in all but huge fight back as well from roma. david luiz struck early and chelsea went two nil up before former manchester city player edin dzeko turned the tie on its head. eden hazard came to the rescue to keep chelsea top of their group. meanwhile scottish champions celtic were soundly beaten 3—nil by bayern munich in germany. but better news for manchester united as they were 1—nil winners over benfica. the fa has apologised to two players afterformer women‘s manager mark sampson made racially discrimatory remarks. one of them — eni aluko — gave evidence at a parlimentary inquiry yesterday, with one mp describing the fa as shambolic. johanna konta has split with her coach wim fisette. having teamed up together ahead of the 2017 season, their partnership took her to the wimbledon semi finals, but she‘s since gone on to lose her last five straight matches. she says the plan is she needs to get new coach is in position as soon as possible and she still has that but injury so it doesn‘t look like she will be playing any more tennis. looking at next year. a lot of the big names are. andy murray, lots of them carrying injuries. she is not going to do any more and will wait to the australian open at the start of next year. it‘s time to look at the weather. perhaps things have calmed down a little. it was very, very busy and blustery earlier in the week. good morning, all. there is more to come, naga thomas and we are in for a stormy spell. this morning, a lot of fog, the met office warning of this. it extends down towards the midlands in central and southern england. visibility is poor in places, as i was 15 metres. if you are travelling, take extra care. we have to fronts at the moment, one across the south—east of bringing rain. this one bringing in persistent rain. murky across scotland, some spots of rain through the midlands and down towards central and southern england. we‘ve also got some rain as well. at the moment, ensuring a temporary —— the temperature is 16 celsius. a bit of a dry interlude. it is not bone dry. there is a lot of cloud. a bit of brightness as well. limited amounts of brightness. as we swing across the irish sea into northern ireland, we advance into the west and when it sets in, we will have much of the day. this band of rain in the south will continue to migrate steadily northwards and we will see some brightness develop but we could see some rain almost anywhere and the rain can be heavy in the green and yellow sections of the charts. it is also going to be fairly windy by the time we get to the latter part of the afternoon. 0ur custom wind up to 60 miles an hour. so as we head on through the evening and overnight, this rain moves into the north sea. moving eastwards. minimum temperatures. we will cease brightness develop. all this rain, ofan area brightness develop. all this rain, of an area of low pressure. quite a deep area pressure. isobars around it. it's deep area pressure. isobars around it. it‘s going to be cross in the uk so we are it. it‘s going to be cross in the uk so we are going to see spells of wet and windy weather. the strongest winds are going to be in the southern flank. 0n winds are going to be in the southern flank. on saturday, on the south—western approaches, south—west england, looking at gust of wind, 60 miles an hour. locally, 70 miles an hour. we could well have some large waves crashing on shore along the coastlines. 0nce waves crashing on shore along the coastlines. once again, there is the risk of something to bear in mind. as this whole area transfers zero eastwards. there is a chance we could see some strong winds. gusting inland. the same across the south coast, moving inland with gusts of 15 miles an hour. a messy picture. 0n 15 miles an hour. a messy picture. on sunday, that pushes off into the north sea and although it will be drier on sunday, it‘s not going to be bone dry. there will be some showers and look what is coming our way again. we are not out of the words in terms of unsettled weather. we will be talking to her later. the front page of the guardian, this isa the front page of the guardian, this is a story you will be talking about later, kat, the fa chief urged to resign amid the blackmail row. to do with women‘s football and the fa‘s responds. we‘ve got an interview coming up later? we will speak to lianne sanderson, an england player, she plays in the us and she gave evidence at the parliamentary enquiry yesterday. we will speak to her in about half an hour. she flew back for that? she did. all over the back for that? she did. all over the back pages, any luke rowe, former england striker, she could still be picked to play again, giving evidence again, she is the player that said that she was racially abused by the former manager mark sampson and the fa have apologised toa sampson and the fa have apologised to a couple of players over comments he made —— eni aluko. it‘s all about the reaction. called shambolic by one of the mp5, they have been accused of a cover—up and accused of blackmail. the fa really in the spotlight on the front and back pages about how they have handled the affair. fascinating how it panned out. the daily mirror is looking at a rather sensitive story, this is max, who is nine, and max received organs for an organ transplant and his parents have to the family who donated, they have said thank you to the family, they have said that he is taking good ca re of have said that he is taking good care of their precious gift. this is as there is a campaign for a new opt out donor law so more people allow theirfamilies to out donor law so more people allow their families to donate organs when deceased relatives have passed. the daily telegraph, concentrating on all things brexit, we will be live in brussels later on this morning. theresa may will be there to meet her counterparts from all over europe. can there be any kind of breakthrough at this point in the negotiations? this is a letter signed by a number of mps saying this is the point at which theresa may needs to be clear that britain is prepared to walk away without a deal. the times is looking at britain fighting brussels rip—off, up britain fighting brussels rip—off, up to britain fighting brussels rip—off, upto7 britain fighting brussels rip—off, up to 7 billion euros, by inflating the cost of pension liabilities for retired eu officials and the picture is the duke and duchess of cambridge and prince harry watching apprentice coaches graduating at the london stadium for west ham yesterday. this story on the daily mail, the idea you can have a new hotline number on the lines of 999 if you think you have been a victim of bank fraud or some kind of fraud. just an idea. what else have you got, kat? talking about the fa in quarry a bit earlier, but in the inside pages, there‘s jo konta, earlier, but in the inside pages, there‘sjo konta, confirmation she has split from her coach —— enquiry. and a graphic showing her tumble in the rankings from fourth to 10th. still pretty good to be top ten! she has lost her last five matches, hasn‘t made it to the end of season tour finals hasn‘t made it to the end of season tourfinals in hasn‘t made it to the end of season tour finals in singapore, hasn‘t made it to the end of season tourfinals in singapore, she has an injured foot, she is resting, so hopefully she will come back stronger with a new coach. in tennis, it‘s interesting how form can be with you and then it can slip away. there was a moment she could win every time she played. it's about belief, it comes and goes. this one was interesting, harry kane, huge hype about him, how he‘s the perfect striker at the moment, i think it was the real madrid coach before they played in the champions league this week said he‘s got the com plete league this week said he‘s got the complete package, he has scored 13 in september and was right up there with beating messi and ronaldo for goalscoring in september. apparently the secret according to the times is he has lost almost 50% of his body fat since 2014, he is now this lean, mean goalscoring machine. was he known for being a bit tubby before? i don‘t think so. there he is before and there he is after. doesn't look any different! it is all margins. small margins. can i bring you the story of 186—year—old portas? just because i like it. yes please. -- tortoise. in st helena, this is jonathan, a giant tortoise, he has been wooing someone, or another tortoise i should say, over the past 26 years, federica it was thought he was wooing but in fact it was frederik. but it doesn't matter, they love each other and they became smitten in 1991. they have stayed close. great. 26 year romance. pretty good for a 186—year—old tortoise. like a fling, 2060 is, barely a moment for a tortoise of that age! —— 26 years. a new generation of council houses is what theresa may promised at the conservative party conference, but how easy will that be to achieve? withjust over a million people in england on council waiting lists for a home, some cities say they need more resources to solve the housing shortage, as breakfast‘sjohn maguire has been finding out. designed as an alternative to tower blocks, the alexandra stayed in london promised a modernist utopian version of social housing when it was built in the 19705. costs overran and the architect paid the price with his career. but today he holds the ultimate prize in his profession. it's quite heavy. this is the royal institute of british architects loop is gold for 2018. it's architects loop is gold for 2018. it‘s a recognition of his work to create council housing that offered not just shelter but create council housing that offered notjust shelter but community. it's a mix of people, and ordinary mix of people, which is society depends on that. our ordinary solutions of points box, mixed developer and so forth deny people the right to belong to their community. what we‘ve done here is try to make it pa rt we‘ve done here is try to make it part of the community. he still lives nearby in another estate he created, smaller scale but the same ethos. back in alexandra road and the shadow of the next generation of homes, long—time resident elizabeth knowles tells me the estate has had its problems but this is a vision that survived the test of time. it's a concrete village, i always think of it as a concrete village. when i went to work i would go down to the garages because i would meet so many people i knew on the way to work that it would make me late to work ifi that it would make me late to work if i stopped to talk to them all. people do know one another. and they‘re the lucky ones. there‘s a huge shortage of affordable housing across the uk. this week the pro minister hosted a downing street summit, the promises and policies made in this house must create tens tens of thousands of others every year. she has pledged an extra £2 billion to create 25,000 homes for social rent over two years. it‘s a nice size, isn‘t it? social rent over two years. it‘s a nice size, isn't it? it's lovely, it‘s dead easy to maintain. nice size, isn't it? it's lovely, it's dead easy to maintain. in sheffield laura caldwell waited seven sheffield laura caldwell waited seve n years sheffield laura caldwell waited seven years for this house. her smile says it all. i'm a happy person but it did take a lot of pressure off. we moved into this house and it‘s so stable for my family. it‘s happy, we‘re happy here, its stability, which is what everybody wants and everybody needs. the challenges may differ between councils but one thing remains co nsta nt, councils but one thing remains constant, they all need cash. sheffield wants to be allowed to borrow more. it does come down to money and we have the land, we have developers, we have contractors lined up, we could actually get spades in the ground, people could be in homes by the end of next year. all we need is government to give me that say so. the demand is undeniable, the problem urgent, and it requires a major increase in supply. building, not just it requires a major increase in supply. building, notjust houses, but homes. john maguire,

considering the lack of progress. the prime minister has published her own letter to the latter to eu citizens based here in the uk trying to reassure them and hoping, hoping that that might be enough

i‘m really happy that the truth is finally come out and i‘m happy for myself, and i am happy for the others and everyone really that really wa nted others and everyone really that really wanted this process to reflect some of the things that have happened to me for positive change in the future. there have certainly been systemic failings historically which have contributed to today's must because i'm not here to tell you this was the fa's finest hour, i am a straight shooter, but the issue for me is, is our current chief executive and his management team making it a lot better than it used to be? and my firm understanding is yes. britain‘sjohanna konta has split with her coach wim fisette. having teamed up together ahead of the 2017 season, their partnership took her to the

team—mates, lianne sanderson, who gave evidence at that enquiry. thank you so much the talking to us. i know you play your football in the us cao yi blew back especially to give evidence yesterday. why did you feel so strongly that you had to be there. good morning everybody. it was important for me to be there. they did tell me i could be there via video link that it was important for me to be there because i‘ve been a part of this process for the last 1.5 years and eni aluko is one of my best friends and i wanted to stand by her and tell the truth as he did yesterday and thankfully justice was done and the truth came out and that was a great feeling for us. —— we did. to be able to say we were telling the truth and for the public to see that. you said you personally haven‘t experienced any racial discrimination but you said there was a general lack of respect towards particularly female players. your experience? for me, after yesterday‘s bindings, hopefully they will put in place something in future so this does not happen again because as i said, this is something we‘ve enjoyed doing, dashed we haven‘t enjoyed doing, difficult for all of us, so going forward we want something in place so this doesn‘t happen again to females, males, whoever. hopefully after yesterday‘s bindings, hopefully this can never happen again. it is not fun for anybody involved. what was your experience of playing for england? for me personally, under mark, i had a fantastic time and i was brought back by mark after being out for four years but after they forgot about my 50th captaincy in china, things started going up so well and ididn‘t want things started going up so well and i didn‘t want to raise any grievances, it wasn‘t really welcome and fernee, it felt like i was being forced out of that moment. it‘s the coach‘s prerogative to pick who he wa nts coach‘s prerogative to pick who he wants and never once was i told i wasn‘t good enough server me, i‘m just nursing my injury and i tore my pcl meniscus last year and have not received any help from the football association. —— acl. not even a message from mark. that was quite hurtful. now we just want to put to bed everything that‘s happened and everybody can move forward. at what point did the relationship between the manager and the players break down? was it something to do with the success that england was enjoying? maybe the pressure grew and that lack of respect between managers and players. you may yesterday —— dashed yesterday it was eni aluko and myself. it's not everybody in the squad. it only happened to certain players. tha nkfully happened to certain players. thankfully after yesterday‘s bindings, we can sleep at night knowing that this is now finally put to bed. is this going to force a change, the fact that this has been brought to light. players have spoken out about your experiences. will the fa change or is this endemic? they have been accused of a cover—up. will that continue? endemic? they have been accused of a cover—up. will that continue ?|j think cover—up. will that continue?” think they had to change. after yesterday‘s bindings, i think it was fantastic for everybody to see because we had to answer questions. eni aluko had to answer questions and so did the fa. everyone can draw their own conclusions. i definitely think after yesterday‘s bindings, the fa would certainly be foolish not to quench —— not to question how things are done. i would have expected a bit more empathy and compassion but let‘s just myself and my personal preference. thank you so much to sharing your thoughts and experiences. at a safe trip back to the us. really interesting. talking about her experiences and the kind of lack of respect, breaking down of relationships and i asked her, is it to do with england all of a sudden where there is this, oh my goodness, they are going to go to the world cup and win the european championships, perhaps that had something to do with it, the pressure. it wouldn‘t be the first time a big institution has required itself to make changes. but there is all kinds of talk in different sports about how managers and coaches pushed the results, lots of accusations of bullying in swimming, bobsleigh, this kind of results versus respect balance. let‘s talk to carol, time to look at the weather, some fog, picture of a plane there, any problems at the airports today? there might be, some dense fog at the moment, the met office have a yellow warning out there for this, it extends across eastern england, through the midlands, down to central, southern england and parts of east anglia to bear that in mind if you‘re travelling. visibility is poorin if you‘re travelling. visibility is poor in some parts, as low as 50 metres. we‘ve got two weather fronts both producing rain and a lot of cloud, a murky start but also a mild one. in scotland, a lot of cloud, dampness and mist and fog. the same in northern england, a lot of cloud, this is where we have the fog, east coast, into the midlands, some parts, eastern and western parts of the midlands, and also the likes of cambridge, parts of norfolk and suffolk and down towards the south coast. we‘ve also got rain as well. as you go further to the south—west, here it is drier but not bone dry, some drizzle around, as there is across wales, coming out of the cloud here, limited brightness later. in northern ireland today, when the rain set soon it will be with you for much of the day and some of it will be heavy. through the day this first band of rain you can see extending through central southern england into the east will push northwards going to northern england, sealing nippy under that. some brightness developing, some will see sunshine and we have this band of rain moving across northern ireland and heading to western parts of scotland, through wales and south—west england. greens and yellows on the charts tell you that we are looking at heavy bursts, plus the wind will strengthen. gusts of wind at around 60 mph around the south—west and approaches, including wales, and also being with channel coasts. as this whole system pushes towards the north—east, what is going to happen is the rain will start to turn lighter and more patchy in nature and the winds will come down and it‘s not going to be a cold night. tomorrow we start with a messy picture, a lot of cloud and we have the remnants of the rain but it will brighten up and again more of us will brighten up and again more of us will see sunshine tomorrow. but waiting in the winds is this next system coming our way, that will introduce some wet and windy weather. a deep area of low pressure and it will continue to push across the uk as we go through the course of friday into saturday. tightly packed isobars, the tightest ones are going to be in the south. here once again we are looking at gales, even once again we are looking at gales, eve n severe once again we are looking at gales, even severe gales with exposure. 60 mph gusts across the coasts of wales and the south—western approaches across the english channel as well, 50 mph inland, at times along the coast we could see 70 mph gusts, couple that with high tides, large waves crashing on shore and also some of topping, something the environment agency are concerned about, areas between dorset and sussex. that all moves away through sunday, but we‘re still looking at a breezy day with spots of rain and a favourite of cloud, and temperatures on the naga and charlie, disappointing for this stage in 0ctober. a very busy weather map, so much going on! anyone would have thought it is august! experiments, carol! we‘re going to talk about graphene this morning, i have certainly heard of it, it is super strong.” this morning, i have certainly heard of it, it is super strong. i don't know where it comes from, though. i‘ve heard of it and it doesn‘t quite click. on a learning curve this morning. sean is going to be our tutor this morning, an empty warehouse there, what‘s going to be happening? it's it‘s just at the end of a construction site here, this will be the graphene engineering innovation centre in manchester, the birthplace of graphene, 13 years ago they first discovered it. we will get into exactly what they did in a minute but they came across it using clever things, then they found the qualities of it were incredible. it's qualities of it were incredible. it‘s been used in flash things like this car and this morning we will talk about its use in the future and how it will change peoples lives. but to answer that we need a science lesson, what exactly is it? so what is graphene? we need a bit ofa so what is graphene? we need a bit of a chemistry lesson on carbon but let‘s talk to someone who knows what they‘re on about, sarah. where do we see carbon day to day? we've all heard of diamond and diamond isjust carbon and in diamond all the carbon atoms are linked to four other carbon atoms in a 3—dimensional structure and that‘s what makes diamond so fantastically strong. that simon rock out, if i take a pencil, this is carbon, how does that work? graphite, in your pencil, each of the carbon atoms is only linked to three other carbon atoms in pencil lead the layers themselves aren‘t very strongly connected together, not as strongly bonded. here‘s the relatively new bit, if you take just one sheet of carbon atoms you‘ve got graphene. you take just one sheet of carbon atoms you've got graphene. graphene is fantastically strong, it‘s incredibly stiff, it‘s almost com pletely incredibly stiff, it‘s almost completely transparent. it‘s very, very light and it conducts heat and electricity fantastically well. so there you go, sounds amazing, doesn‘t it? could we see it used not just in drones like this one but also aircraft down the line? ian is from the university here. a key question, we‘ve got light bulbs and batteries and tin cans that could change people‘s lives at some point, but going back to 2004, how did they discover graphene? about half a mile away people always knew graphene could theoretically exist, people we re could theoretically exist, people were trying to make the graphite thin and thinner so graphene isjust a single layer of graphite, the kind of thing you get in your pencil. you say one one single layer of that? they got some of the pencil lead and some sticky tape, they put it between the sticky tape and you push it together and peel it apart and you pull apart the graphite, you do it again and again and you push it down onto a piece of silicon and you leave a layer of graphene behind. i‘ve had one person send me a tweet this morning asking how expensive it is, we‘ve seen cars and trains, that‘s a simple process with sellotape, mass production, is it expensive —— drones. sellotape, mass production, is it expensive -- drones. it is getting cheaper, everything starts expensive when we work out how to make it but it is getting cheaper. it‘s about the same cost as carbon fibre for the same cost as carbon fibre for the low—grade graphene and high—grade graphene is as expensive as gold. thanks very much, see you shortly. we‘ve got those handy things but ray, we have seen this car all morning, you helped to build it, what is the key thing about the motoring industry taking advantage of something like graphene? we've put graphene into the bonnet, we have made it so it can withstand impact damage, better performance in that respect. that's a mechanical thing. 0verhear what we've got is the rear diffuser where we've added graphene again and it dissipates heat —— graphene again and it dissipates heat — — over graphene again and it dissipates heat —— over the. graphene again and it dissipates heat -- over the. we will be talking more about that. —— over here. how can it change our lives? that‘s what we will be finding out this morning. back with you later on, sean, thanks very much. i've got all sorts of ideas how to use graphene. like what? promised you won't laugh. i will tell you later and then we can let it —— promised. —— promise. from la boheme to the magic flute, some of the most beautiful operas ever written are traditionally performed in italian, french or german. but what about one sung with a barnsley twang? the first ever opera in a yorkshire accent opens next month and our arts corespondent david sillito has been to take a look. the arsonists, chamber opera to be sungin the arsonists, chamber opera to be sung ina the arsonists, chamber opera to be sung in a south yorkshire accent. you are witnessing history here, this is heritage opera and this is the first ever performance of their new opera written specifically to ca ptu re new opera written specifically to capture the natural musical beauty of the vocal cadences of south yorkshire. applause oh, dear me! so good! that's brilliant! have you got it? i think they have, certainly have. is it south yorkshire, that? i think it is, the south yorkshire thing is the flatness of the vowels, that‘s what we‘re after, the real flat vowel and that was the genesis of this idea, can using an opera with a flat vowel? it doesn't matter if it's kind of rough. rough? yeah. that's what this is all about, does opera work when you can‘t sing with vowels that are long and southern like bath and grass, but short and flat. bath, grass, but short and flat. bath, grass, love. love in rp, quite fine, but in yorkshire, love is very short. it becomes a bit more constricted. rp, received pronunciation, the southern, dare i say it, bbc english that i was taught at my elocution lessons is also the accent of english opera. tv and theatre would a lwa ys english opera. tv and theatre would always portray people with the right accent, but... that doesn't happen at all in opera and i think it could be perceived as being one of the barriers, one of the problems opera‘s having communicating with a wider audience. and this experiment has also reveal something unexpected, the unique sound of god‘s and co is a bit more mediterranean than you might imagine. let us all increase our productivity, let our fingers to the bone. so all the sounds and the company sounds really short ends, is that difficult for singing? it's better because there‘s not so much ofa better because there‘s not so much of a diphthong on the end there, in that way it‘s closer to italian. yorkshire is closer to italian? in that way. fantastic. and two end i set them a little challenge. could you do this? verdian‘s donna immobile in the barnsley style. i think we‘re onto that winner. we just need that topnote now. applause so there it is, opera yorkshire style. david sillito, bbc news, salford. it doesn‘t really matter, does it? if it's it doesn‘t really matter, does it? if it‘s sung well. it doesn‘t really matter, does it? if it's sung well. if the voice is good, marvellous. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. three men who faked a multi—million pound robbery from their own security van have been jailed for a total of 23 years. mohammed siddique and ranjeev singh staged the heist after collecting $7 million in cash from the british airways cargo depot at heathrow airport in march. the van was then unloaded in feltham while singh was supposedly on a toilet break. a third man, rafaqat hussain, who helped organise the theft, was also found guilty of conspiracy to commit money laundering. surgeons at moorfields eye hospital in london are warning of the potential dangers of wearing cosmetic contact lenses. with halloween later this month experts expect to see an increase in the number of serious eye complaints associated with novelty lenses, especially those sold illegally in shops and online. health professionals say partygoers should only buy them from registered opticians. films and tv shows made in london could be hit by a post—brexit clampdown on immigration, that‘s according to the creative industries federation. tsays the end of freedom of movement within the european union could pose a huge risk to the creative industries, which often rely on international freelancers. a government spokesman said: it is crucial to work with this sector to capitalise on the opportunities presented by brexit. let‘s have a look at the travel situation now. there‘s a good service on the tubes this morning: except for on the 0verground where there are minor delays. at the blackwall tunnel it‘s busy on the southern approach, traffic back to the woolwich rd flyover let‘s have a check on the weather now. a rather damp and murky start to the day, a lot of low cloud around and also problems with mist and fog. poor visibility on many of the roads, there may well be some travel disruption from this. you can keep up disruption from this. you can keep up to date by listening to bbc radio london or on the twitter handle. it's london or on the twitter handle. it‘s a rather damp start, fog issues and a very mild start to the morning as well. we may well see some wet weather today, especially out to western candice through the morning and then a drier afternoon but a lwa ys and then a drier afternoon but always the chance of showers. in eastern areas we may see a bit of brightness but it will be short lived and cloudy for most of the day. it will feel mild, 17 or 18. 0vernight tonight the wind is going to pick up, some strong gusts of wind through the night and also some rain as you can seek, a very windy start to the day tomorrow but a mild one too, 11 or 12. strong winds tomorrow morning will gradually die down, they will become lighter. a much quieter day with possibly a bit of brightness around and it should be mostly dry, but more rain on friday night. some showers on saturday but the main issue on saturday but the main issue on saturday will be the strength of the winds under some very strong gusts but you will see some brightness and sunshine. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it‘s back to naga and charlie. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. theresa may makes a fresh promise to eu citizens living and working in the uk. in an open letter she vows to make it as easy as possible for them to stay ahead of a key summit of european leaders in brussels. good morning — it‘s thursday the 19th of october. also this morning: hundreds of opportunities for life—saving transplants are being missed, because bereaved families are objecting to organ donations — a bbc investigation reveals. sir tom jones tells us about sexual harrassment in the music industry — and says it happened to him at the start of his career. it was only once. terrible. but i thought, "i‘ve got to get away from this person." good morning. it is tougher than diamond, superstrong, super flexible and it was discovered here in manchester but is graphene living up to the hype? or just for flash cars? in sport, a 6—goal thriller at stamford bridge where chelsea held off a fight back from roma to draw in the champions league. we‘ll meet the cast behind the first ever opera written and performed in a yorkshire accent. # you must be stupid. # you need to get away, get away!# and carol has the weather. there is bulbous mourning across the eastern midlands, east anglia, and visibility is poor. you can also see some rain. there is a lot of cloud around and strengthening winds across the south—west. more details in15 across the south—west. more details in 15 minutes. first, our main story. theresa may has written an open letter to eu citizens in the uk. she says she will make the transition as easy as possible. in it, she says she wants eu citizens to stay and families to stay together. she goes on to say britain and the eu are in touching distance of an agreement. this all comes as 27 eu leaders gather in brussels for a summit a little later. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is in westminster for us and adam fleming is in brussels. chris, how will this play out at home? let us follow theresa may‘s journey. give us a sense of the move there as she goes for what is billed as one of the key moments in the diary of what is happening in relation to brexit. the one thing that unites the diaries of people here in westminster and people where adam is in brussels is for several months, a huge marker pen has been circled around today‘s date because there has been a hope for some time that this would be a big moment, potentially the moment where the uk moved on from untangling its current relationship with the european union, moving on to the future relationship. 0ne union, moving on to the future relationship. one thing we know before the summit, an ongoing argument about the things that are already on the table like citizens rights and this letter from the prime minister to ensure that 3 million people here in the uk who are eu citizens that they have a future here after brexit and they shouldn‘t worry, even though nothing is nailed down. there will be a hope from the british side here that there is some sense by the end of this that there might be some progress come the next summit in a couple of months‘ time. progress come the next summit in a couple of months' time. that is go straight to adam in brussels. she arrives in brussels that this meeting the words from the open letter, i am confident we can conclude discussions on citizens rights in the coming weeks. it is a positive tone in what has been in recent weeks pretty tricky.” positive tone in what has been in recent weeks pretty tricky. i think eu leaders from the 27 remaining eu countries will welcome this letter. this is a big issue for them, particularly the process that eu nationals will have to go through, the admin, the forms, the time it will take on the money they will have to pay to get a so—called settled status which means they can stay in the uk after brexit but there are other rights issues that there are other rights issues that the eu wants resolved. family members? can you keep them —— can uk benefits be sent to other countries and is there a role forjudges at the european court ofjustice? then there is the big issue of money. theresa may has offered to pay into the eu‘s budget for two years during a potential transition deal. eu leaders want more money and what it adds up to is that for the 27 remaining leaders, this is not enough progress in the first phase of talks to move into the next phase. having said that, they will ask their chief negotiator to start the internal preparation for that. there is some progress, just not as much as people thought there might be by this point. adam and chris, thank you both. worth pointing out... we‘ll be talking to labour‘s shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer in an hour. he is there with a delegation from the labour party including jeremy corbyn. we will speak to him later on. more than 500 families have objected to a relative from donating an organ over the past five years despite them being on the donor register. a 5 live investigation found the most common reason for families overriding a loved one‘s wishes is that the donation process takes too long. mark hutchings reports. for many, becoming an organ donor is a crucially important life—and—death decision. now, data from nhs blood and transplant shows that since 2012, 505 people who had signed the donor register had that wish vetoed by their families. in the past year, the number of deceased donors was 1400, but 91 cases were blocked. under legislation, relatives don‘t have a right to override their loved one‘s pledge, but in practice, objections are being adhered to. the most frequent were from relatives who thought the donation process took too long, with other common complaints that the patient had suffered enough, and that there was divided opinion in the family. 0ne teenager who signed a register is clear her views should hold sway. i want the final say in what happens to me i die. when i signed, i wasn‘t aware of the whole thing that my family had to be supportive of the decision. and it seems like, well, what‘s the point of signing up if it could be overruled anyway? in 2015, in addition to the register, the welsh government introduced a policy of deemed consent under which it‘s assumed an individual has no objection to donating organs unless they‘ve said otherwise, though families are still consulted. similar changes are planned in england and scotland. and the message from those promotin organ donation is, whatever the law, it is as important as ever to discuss your wishes with loved ones. mark hutchings, bbc news. sir tom jones has told the bbc that he was sexually harassed at the start of his career. the singer said it only happened to him once but that the problem is widespread in the music industry. 0ur arts and entertainment correpondent colin paterson reports. for more than 50 years, sir tom jones has played up his reputation as a sex symbol but in an interview for 5 live‘s afternoon edition for the series launch of the voice, he says he was sexually harassed by a man in the music industry and it started early in his career in the 19605. at the beginning, there were a few things like that. good grief. what is tried on women is tried on men as well. he did tell other people about the proposition at the time but the incident was never repeated. it was only once, really. how did it make you feel? terrible. but i thought, "i‘ve got to get away from this person "and it can‘t be like this." sir tom jones had been giving his reaction to recent allegations and revelations surrounding the us film industry and said that to him, it was an all—too—familiar story. things are happening in the music industry as well. people complaining about publicists and different things. being expected to get a record contractjust like they do to get a film contract. there has always been that element there that people with power sometimes abuse it. he also said that when it came to the world of entertainment as a whole, he hopes that, as he put it, the cork was now out of the bottle and justice would be done. northern ireland‘s two most senior police officers are under investigation for misconduct in a public office. the bbc understands that the police 0mbudsman is examining allegations of criminal activity — it involves the chief constable, george hamilton, and his deputy, drew harris. it could amount to trying to pervert the course ofjustice — both deny any wrongdoing. millions of workers, particularly women, are trapped in low paid jobs with little chance of escape, according to new research. a study for the social mobility commission found that one in four low—paid workers, which it defines as those earning below £8.25 per hour, were permanently stuck with little chance of earning higher salaries. the risk of terrorists attempting to bring down airliners is greater than ever according the the united states government. earlier this year, the us banned passengers carrying laptops and other devices in their hand luggage when travelling from 10 middle eastern airports. speaking ahead of a meeting of g7 interior ministers, the acting secretary of homeland security, elaine duke, said us authorities are working closely with the uk government to deal with the threat. a second and final deadline for catalonia to confirm whether or not it is breaking away from spain, expires at nine o‘clock this morning. the spanish government wants the catalan leader, carles puigdemont, to retract a unilateral declaration of independence he made last week. if he doesn‘t, ministers in madrid are expected to take control of parts of catalonia‘s administration. this has to be one of the most stunning free shows on earth. this is the natural phenomenon known as black sun. it‘s created by tens of thousands of starlings gathering in the sky for their nightly ritual, or murmuration. spanish paraglider, horacio llorens, travelled to denmark to embrace his dream of flying amongst the birds. the black sun dance occurs twice a year in spring and autumn and involves up to a million starlings. imagine being amongst that? are some people, that would be awful. an amazing experience nonetheless.” would love to do that. that is go back to our lead story. the prime minister has written to 100,000 eu nationals promising the government and european union and other within touching distance. meanwhile, the labour leader jeremy corbyn is in the belgian capital to meet the eu‘s chief negotiator michel barnier. let‘s talk to the shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer. good morning and thank you for joining us. labour ministers, shadow ministers, who are you meeting? what impact will it have on brexit negotiations? we am meeting representatives of the commission. i have been coming backwards and forwards were probably the last 12 months, trying to make sure that we com pletely months, trying to make sure that we completely understand the difficulties, what are the reasons for the impasse in the talks, talking to political leaders that we are closer to than the government, and what we all want is for these negotiations to succeed. we want them to move onto the next stage. getting onto the transitional arrangements, what might happen in the period, after the article 50 notice expires, killing up to tell me how anxious they are. having the discussions we can have with political leaders and i‘ve been talking to the commission the some time now. that sounds pretty positive. in the spirit of working together and getting the best deal for britain, as it exits the eu, are you passing on this information on a dash ina you passing on this information on a dash in a clear, transparent fashion? david davis, he calmly facilitated the initial meetings for me. this is not something that has been done to undermine the government. we are not going behind them. coming here to 12 months. if i was going behind the government‘s back and undermining them...” was going behind the government‘s back and undermining them... i am not implying that. i am genuinely asking, it might be naive, but you say there are some ministers that the labour party is closer to, and if that is the case, are you passing on their concerns in a clear tried spirit fashion to enable the negotiations to go smoothly? 0ur discussions are obviously confidential but i can assure you that david davis and i talk about the state of negotiations. he ensured that i was made a privy counsellor so we could have those confidential discussion. i am counsellor so we could have those confidential discussion. iam not going to go into any detail whatsoever, but rest assured, and it is an important question you are putting to me, i completely understand that, what we are trying to achieve here is that the talks actually succeed. i think anybody looking inward recognise we have got toa looking inward recognise we have got to a seriously bad place at the moment, and we need to move on. it is in the national interest that we do so. it appears that the deadlock, at least over eu citizens and their rights in the uk, may be easing, maybe on its way to being broken because this letter by the prime minister, are shoring them that they can be confident of having a place in the uk —— are shoring them. this is going more along the lines that you in the labour party have been pushing for. anything that pushes this issue on is to be welcomed. as you know, there are probably about 3 million or so eu citizens in the uk and1 million or so eu citizens in the uk and 1 million or so uk citizens in europe who are really anxious about their position. all of us as politicians have had people coming to us that have been in the country many years but are deeply anxious. what we said to the government back injuly of last what we said to the government back in july of last year what we said to the government back injuly of last year is you should unilaterally guarantee the rights of eu citizens in the uk. if the prime minister wants to act on the word she has put out, she can introduce legislation next week in parliament to protect the rights of eu citizens, and we will back it and fast track it with the prime minister if she wants to, as it were, but action behind her words. i think everybody on a very human level absolutely think everybody on a very human level a bsolutely wa nts to think everybody on a very human level absolutely wants to see this issue resolved. so the anxiety of people can be put to one side, and they can get on with their lives. so anything that can push that in the right direction, i think, is welcome. we are very aware that this isa welcome. we are very aware that this is a negotiation and there are difficult subjects to be ravaged by both sides. at the uk, and theresa may in particular, has not gone in with all her cards on the table. the uk needs to make sure it has a good deal, and if processors like this, where she cedes the demands, if this carries on, are we losing our bargaining chips? we need to be careful with this language. this is 3 million people. their lives, their families, i have had mums and dads coming to me and saying should weep pull our children out of school, and they think the idea of saying we know we should do the right thing by them but we‘re not going to do until something happens in the negotiations, everybody recoils from that. i completely understand that the negotiations are hard edged, but you can‘t really play with people‘s lives in this way. i think everybody isa human lives in this way. i think everybody is a human being recognises that bargaining chips in this area is a very, very bad way forward. shadow secretary of state for exiting the european union, thank you very much for joining european union, thank you very much forjoining us from brussels. we will speak to the immigration minister in about 20 minutes‘ time. blue skies in brussels, not so much here. good morning to you. there is some fog around this morning. the met office has a yellow weather warnings for it across eastern england, the midlands, central and southern england and also parts of east anglia. visibility in some areas is down to 50 metres, so if you are travelling, do bear that in mind. we have two weather fronts. here is the first one producing some rain, here is the second one coming in across parts of northern ireland. we will see persistent rain through the day. that is a murky start across scotland and northern england. there is a lot of cloud around, some spots of rain as well. 0ne around, some spots of rain as well. one or two brighter spots but then we have this rain, and currently we still have the fog and the fault will be slow to left. some of the extremities of east anglia and kent seeing some sunshine first thing, and on the other side of the band of rain we are looking at a fair bit of cloud. again, you could see some transient cleansers of sunshine first thing this morning across the south—west, but they will be really ata premium, south—west, but they will be really at a premium, and this is across wales. a cloudy start to the day for some of us, and it is also damp. the range showing its hand across northern ireland, traversing eastwards through the course of the day. some of that will be heavy. a wind picking up as well. meanwhile, widow of a band of rain, it moves northwards, still with some heavy bursts in it. parts of east anglia towards kent seeing some sunshine for a towards kent seeing some sunshine fora time, towards kent seeing some sunshine for a time, but today‘s broadcast is a bright one rather than a sunny one. this eventually gets into scotland, wales and south—western england as well as the channel islands. wherever you see yellow and green, that tells you you can expect some heavy rain and the wind continuing to strengthen. through the evening we are looking at gusts around 60 mph around the south—western approaches, wales and the south—west. transparent across the south—west. transparent across the course of being the channel through the night about the whole system through the night about the whole syste m m oves a cross through the night about the whole system moves across the uk, the rain and it will turn lighter. it will tend to break up and the winds will turn that bit lighter as well. tomorrow that process continues. it isa tomorrow that process continues. it is a cloudy start to the day, there will be some splashes of rain around, but then it will brighten up and more of us will see some sunshine tomorrow. however, we also have another fly in the ointment coming our way have another fly in the ointment coming ourway in have another fly in the ointment coming our way in the shape of an area of low pressure. you can tell by looking at the isobars, they are squeezed together and the whole thing is going to cross the uk, bringing a spell of wet and windy weather. the windiest conditions are likely to be across the south—west, the southern parts of wales and also the southern parts of wales and also the english channel coastline. here, we are looking at gusts of 60 or 70 mph, but inland around 50 mph in those areas. couple that with high tides and we could have some large waves crashing on shore. some overtopping is well and the risk of some localised flooding from dorset towards sussex. meanwhile, the rain continues to push across all of us during saturday into sunday. sunday breezy with some showers. but there is more on the cards for monday. bit damp at the moment. you can say that again, and there is some heavy rain coming in from the west as well. so not particularly pleasant, u nless well. so not particularly pleasant, unless you like the rain, of course. 0r unless you like the rain, of course. or the dampness. me muttering, don't worry about that. don't worry, we are used to it. a new generation of council houses is what theresa may promised at the conservative party conference, but how easy will that be to achieve? withjust over a million people in england on council waiting lists for a home, some cities say they need more resources to solve the housing shortage, as breakfast‘sjohn maguire has been finding out. designed as an alternative to tower blocks, the alexandra estate in london promised a modernist utopian version of social housing when it was built in the 19705. costs overran, and the architect paid the price with his career. but, today, neave brown holds the ultimate prize in his profession. well, well, well — it‘s quite heavy... this is the royal institute of british architects‘ gold medal for 2018. it is a recognition of his work to create council housing that offered not just shelter, but community. it‘s a mix of people, an ordinary mix of people, because urban society depends on that. 0ur ordinary solutions of point blocks, mixed development and so forth, deny people the right to belong to their community. what we tried to do was make it part of their community. he still lives nearby in another estate he created, smaller scale, but the same ethos. back in alexandra road, in the shadow of the next generation of homes, long—time resident elizabeth knowles tells me the estate has had its problems, but this is a vision that has survived the test of time. it‘s a concrete village, i always think of it as a concrete village. when i went to work, i would actually go down in the garages, because i would meet so many people i knew on the way to work that it would make me late for work if i stopped to talk to them all. so people do know one another. and they‘re the lucky ones. there is a huge shortage of affordable housing across the uk. this week, the prime minister hosted a downing street summit. the policies and promises made in this house must create tens of thousands of others every year. she has pledged an extra £2 billion to create 25,000 homes for social rent over two years. it‘s a nice size, isn‘t it? it‘s lovely, and it‘s dead easy to maintain. in sheffield, laura coldwell waited seven years for this house. her smile says it all. i am a happy person, but it did take a lot of pressure off. we moved into this house, and it‘s so stable for my family. it‘s happy, we‘re happy here. it‘s stability, which is what everybody wants and everybody needs. the challenges may differ between councils, but one thing remains constant. they all need cash. sheffield wants to be allowed to borrow more. it does come down to money. and we have the land, we have developers, we have contractors lined up. we could actually get spades in the ground, people could be in homes by the end of next year. all we need is government to give me that say—so. the demand is undeniable, the problem urgent, and it requires a major increase in supply. building notjust houses, but homes. john maguire, bbc news. and it is really interesting to see how things have developed over the yea rs, how things have developed over the years, and the people who are in places despite the problems. sean is in manchester this morning, investigating graphene, once described as the miracle material that would change the world. is it, can it, how will it? all very wea k is it, can it, how will it? all very weak questions. it was 13 years ago they discovered this thin layer of carbon atoms called graphene. so fast forwarding 13 years, this is the graphene innovation centre, or it will be when it is done and dusted. the minute it is handed over to the university, and i am speaking to the university, and i am speaking to the university, and i am speaking to the university‘s director. what is the plan for this place? the purpose of this building is how you ta ke purpose of this building is how you take it from the laboratory to production. so scaling up the pilot production. so scaling up the pilot production of a rubber tyre, which may go on a car or an aircraft. so what we are seeing here, what can you envisage being in this space? this is where we will produce graphene and a whole family of two deep materials, and the scale of different applications. it will look more like a factory than the research lab across the road. far more like a factory, how do you take it into the factory? if it is going to break you want to make it and develop it very quickly around the smid scale, pilot production scale. we will talk more about how that scale up might work later. first we will get some news, travel and weather wherever people around the country this morning. weather wherever people around the country this morning. good morning from bbc london news, i‘m claudia—liza armah. three men who faked a £7 million robbery from their own security van have been jailed for a total of 23 years. mohammed siddique and ranjeev singh claimed they had been robbed to cover their tracks, after they stole 26 bags of cash from the british airways cargo depot at heathrow airport in march. a third man, rafaqat hussain, was also jailed for his role in organising the heist. a 20—year—old man charged with the murder of a teenager in north—west london is expected to appear before magistrates later today. 18—year—old mahad ali died after being stabbed at a party on an industrial estate on coronation road, in park royal, injune. sakariya gasar, from wembley, was charged with his murder early this morning. surgeons at moorfields eye hospital in london are warning of the potential dangers of wearing cosmetic contact lenses. with halloween later this month, experts expect to see an increase in the number of serious eye complaints associated with novelty lenses, especially those sold illegally in shops and online. health professionals say party—goers should only buy them from registered opticians. a new exhibition is exploring 400 yea rs of a new exhibition is exploring 400 years of opera. the immersive exhibition takes you on a journey from the late renaissance in italy to the explosion of opera in the 20th let is. to the explosion of opera in the 20th zist is. -- 20th to the explosion of opera in the 20th 21st is. —— 20th and 21st centuries. let‘s have a look at the travel situation now. there is a good service on the tubes this morning, except for on the 0verground, where there are minor delays. westbound traffic on the a13 is building from goresbrook into barking. in rickmansworth, the a412 is closed southbound from junction j17 on the m25 to the maple cross roundabout following a collision. let‘s have a check on the weather now. hello, good morning. it‘s a rather damp and murky start to the day, a lot of low cloud around, and also some problems with mist and fog, too. so poor visibility on many of the roads. there may well be some travel disruption from this. you can keep up to date by listening to bbc radio london or on the twitter handle @bbctravelalert. now, it‘s a rather damp start, some fog issues, and it‘s a very mild start to the morning as well. we may well see some wet weather today, particularly out towards western counties as we head through the course of the morning, and then a drier afternoon, but always the chance of showers. particularly out towards eastern areas, we mayjust see a bit of brightness, but it will very be short—lived, and cloudy for most of the day. but it will feel mild, 17 or 18. 0vernight tonight the wind is going to pick up, some strong gusts of wind through the night and also some rain, as you can see. still a very windy start to the day tomorrow but a mild one too, 11 or 12. the strong winds tomorrow morning will gradually die down, they‘ll become lighter. a much quieter day of weather with possibly a bit of brightness around and it should be mostly dry, but more rain on friday night. some showers on saturday but the main issue on saturday‘s going to be the strength of the winds, some very strong gusts but also some brightness and sunshine. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it is back to naga and charlie. hello — this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. here‘s a summary of the morning‘s main stories from bbc news. theresa may makes a fresh promise to eu citizens living and working in the uk. in an open letter she vows to make it as easy as possible for them to stay — ahead of a key summit of european leaders in brussels. good morning. it‘s thursday 19 october. also this morning: hundreds of opportunities for life—saving transplants are being missed, because bereaved families are objecting to organ what we are trying to achieve here is that talks actually succeed and think anybody looking into a seriously bad place at the moment, we need to move on. sir keir starmer speaking to australia. —— speaking to us earlier. more than 500 families have objected to a deceased relative donating an organ over the past five years despite them being on the donor register. a bbc 5 live investigation found that the most common reason for families overriding a loved one‘s wishes is that the donation process takes too long. sir tom jones has revealed that he was sexually harassed at the start of his career. whilst talking about recent revelations involving harvey weinstein, the singer said the incident had left him feeling "terrible" millions of workers, particularly women, are trapped in low—paid jobs with little chance of escape, according to new research. a study for the social mobility commission found that one in four low—paid workers, which it defines as those earning below £8.25 per hour, were permanently stuck, with little chance of earning higher salaries. the risk of terrorists attempting to bring down airliners is greater than ever according the the united states government. earlier this year, the us banned passengers carrying laptops and other devices in their hand luggage when travelling from 10 middle eastern airports. speaking ahead of a meeting of g7 interior ministers, the acting secretary of homeland security, elaine duke, said us authorities are working closely with the uk government to deal with the threat. a second and final deadline for catalonia to confirm whether or not it is breaking away from spain expires at 9 o‘clock this morning. the spanish government wants the catalan leader, carles puigdemont, to retract a unilateral declaration of independence he made last week. if he doesn‘t, ministers in madrid are expected to take control of parts of catalonia‘s administration. there‘s been a steep decline in the number of flying insects over the past three decades, which scientists say could have severe implications for all life on earth. research carried out in dozens of german nature reserves has shown a loss of more than 75% of flying insects — including butterflies, bees and moths. scientists have warned of the damaging consequences for wildlife due to the insects playing a vital role in pollination and providing a food source for birds. never a shortage of wasps. they a lwa ys never a shortage of wasps. they always turn up uninvited. imagine having a lovely time at a picnic or having a lovely time at a picnic or having a lovely time at a picnic or having a beer in a beer garden. i've been bitten a lot lately, there have been bitten a lot lately, there have been some midges. i am going to talk about some lovely goals. we have plenty of them. plenty of goals to show you. there were world class goals galore at stamford bridge. david luiz gave chelsea an early lead in spectacular style and they were 2—nil up before the italians mounted their comeback. former manchester city players alexander kolarov and edin dzeko turned the tie on its head, giving roma the lead but eden hazard came to chelsea‘s rescue to secure a point. it was a disappointing night for celtic as they were beaten 3—0 away from home by the german giants bayern munich. goals in the first half from thomas mueller and joshua kimmich, and then another from mats hummels ended any faint celtic hopes. the pair meet again in glasgow in a fortnight. take a look at this. this is manchester united playing against benfica. look at this. poor old mile svilar, he carries the ball over himself. the sheer power of marcus‘s kick, he was holding it out hoping to get it over the line. he was in tears after the match. we thought that gaffe on a global stage might have spelt the end of his career. it wasn't his first outing? not at all. he's the youngest goalkeeper in the league but some lovely things were said about him. he came out to get the ball and he would rather have that happen in the goalkeeper who just plays it safe. we had nine points, we won the match. we didn‘t concede goals. the team was calm, and compact. controlled. and almost there. i think one point to qualify, one victory maybe to finish first. so all good. the football association has apologised to two female footballers for racially discriminatory remarks by the sacked head coach mark sampson. an independent barrister found sampson made "ill—judged attempts at humour" towards drew spence and eni aluko. alu ko gave evidence to a parliamentary inquiry into the way the fa handled her treatment i‘m really happy that the truth has finally come out and i‘m happy lianne sanderson and everyone really that really wanted this process to reflect some of the things that have happened to me for positive change in the future. which contributed to today's mess because i'm not here to tell you this was the fa's finest hour, i am a straight shooter, but the issue for me is, is our current chief executive and his management team making it a lot better than it used to be? and my firm understanding is yes. britain‘sjohanna konta has split with her coach wim fisette. having teamed up together ahead of the 2017 season, their partnership took her to the wimbledon semi finals. but she‘s won only two of her matches since, losing her last five. that run has seen her miss out on the end of season wta rankings for the second season in a row. ronnie 0‘sullivan has a badly twisted ankle. he posted a picture on twitter this swell and ankle. he wore blue trainers in his first match after complaining about a sprained ankle. after winning that, organisers then told him to wear the correct footwear. his next match was at 5pm yesterday afternoon. he gets on twitter and says, a need black trainers with a black sole, very specific. there he is wearing said black trainers. how did he get them? maybe a fan got them for him, maybe he popped down to the supermarket and got some on offer. i'm not an expert on trainers but is it that hard to get black trainers? with black souls, quite tricky,. i do know it can be tricky to get all black trainers. harder than diamonds, and a million times thinner... 1 million times thinner? graphene has been described as having a million possibilities. sean is there this morning finding out all about this extraordinary product. good morning. what can it do? that‘ll be a big question we are looking at, it is basically one layer of carbon atoms and that kind of stuff is put into wings like this on this burden but the big question is how much can a manufacturer have use of this in day—to—day life? but let us get a bit of a science lesson. so what is graphene? we need a bit ofa lesson. so what is graphene? we need a bit of a chemistry lesson on carbon. let us talk to sarah. where do we see carbon dated they? we have heard of diamond and a diamond is carbon and all the carbon atoms in diamonds are linked to four other carbon atoms in a 3—dimensional structure and that‘s what makes them so fantastically strong.” structure and that‘s what makes them so fantastically strong. i take a pencil, this is carbon as well. in graphite, each of the carbon atoms is only meant to three other carbon atoms so in pencil lead, the layers themselves and not so strongly connected together. here is the new bit because if you take one sheet of carbon atoms, you got graphene. graphene is in credibly stiff and fa ntastically graphene is in credibly stiff and fantastically strong and almost com pletely fantastically strong and almost completely transparent, it is light and conducts heat and electricity fa ntastically well. and conducts heat and electricity fantastically well. or amazing features and scientists get really excited about this but it‘s when businesses start getting excited that it matters. rae helped build this car. we were talking about earlier, if it‘s lighter, he was ca rs earlier, if it‘s lighter, he was cars but where else can it be used? impact resistance, sporting goods can be and stronger and in terms of hockey sticks, per example and tennis racquets. also, golf clubs. you hear graphite? is graphene the next level? it makes golf clubs more controllable. i play golf so yes, the answer is it can and will do that. but it might not turn a bad golfer into a good golfer. big question for the industry, we are in the graphene innovation and engineering centre. angela, you are a science writer. these light globes, the more mainstream innovations, but it‘s a big global industry, graphene? china is patenting a lot of stuff and only 1% of graphene stuff is patented in manchester. are we behind the times? patenting is not the only issue. there is a problem at commercialising graphene across the world. it‘s not the case that the uk is behind but is behind the uk —— the us and china and south korea but the us and china and south korea but the hype behind graphene has not been built on tennis racquets and golf clubs, built on the promise that graphene would be the start of an electronics revolution, replacing silicon, that we would have bendable mobile phones... if we look at this, is this a pipe dream? the fact you might have a mobile phone that is as thin as that and you could put it in your pocket? the technical challenge remains. graphene is an amazing conductor. you can‘t have electronics that you switch off. that is a technical obstacle. if it can be done here, amazing. a big question with brexit on the horizon, seeing as this is something we discovered, research institutes in manchester and cambridge, with the uk outside the european union, can recapitalise? when you say we, we are talking about a team of international scientists so "we" is a fluid term in science. the graphene work relies on an international team of people not born in the uk. there are countries outside the european union who do good research. global research resides on talent around the world. we can still get that. hopefully but people here are concerned that brea ks people here are concerned that breaks it could affect funding and the talent pipeline. angela, thank you very much. we can‘t quite sort out the golf swing but there could bea out the golf swing but there could be a golf club at some point in the future that looks as shiny as this car. what makes you think my golf swing needs sorting out? goodbye, sean! the technique sean used there, which is well worn, he could not hear you. you can hear me. here is carol with a look at this morning‘s weather. if you can hear us... did somebody say something? good morning all. there is some fog around this morning if you are stepping out across eastern parts of england, the midlands, central and southern england, parts of east anglia as well. this ability down to 50 metres in some parts so take extra care if you are out and about. we have two weather fronts, this one you are out and about. we have two weatherfronts, this one in you are out and about. we have two weather fronts, this one in the east producing some rain and this one coming in from the west during the same thing. later on, as you can see in the squeeze behind the weather front, the wind will pick up. this morning it is a cloudy, murky start. fog will be slow to lift. the rain in the south continuing to drift northwards. the rain coming in from the west across northern ireland will be heavy and persistent and will be heavy and persistent and will set in the day across wales and south—west england. the other thing you will notice is the will strengthen. this afternoon some heavy rain across northern ireland. we will start to see the rainfall totals mount up. the same across wales and south—west england. when you see green and yellow on the chart, it means the rain will be heavyin chart, it means the rain will be heavy in that particular area or around it. the wind starting to strengthen as well. ahead of it, there will be some brightness but brightness or sunshine will be limited because there will be a fair bit of cloud around. and still that rain continuing to move northwards, leaving some dregs in its wake. now, for northern england, some brighter skies especially in the north—west. for scotland, some brighter skies for a time as well but through the evening the rain will be arriving across western and south—western scotland. through the evening an overnight it continues north eastwards. we will have gales from being the channel, gusting on the coast, but as the whole system moves north eastwards, the rain and the wind will turn that bit lighter. tomorrow morning we start off in quite a messy note. there will be a lot of cloud around and also some splashes of rain. it will brighten up, and some of us will see some sunshine. in fact, up, and some of us will see some sunshine. infact, more up, and some of us will see some sunshine. in fact, more of us will see some sunshine tomorrow compared with today. we have the next system waiting in the winds to bring in some heavy rain and strong winds, and it is courtesy of a steep area of low pressure. 0vernight friday into saturday, it is going to across the uk, bringing wet and windy weather. the ice above the closest together in the south, so this is where we are likely to have gales. again, the south coast of wales, southern parts of the english channel, we are looking at maybe as much as 70 miles an hour, but generally around 60. inland, we are looking at 50. the chance for strong winds transferring in the direction of northern ireland, with exposure seeing gusts of 60 mph. as well as that, we are also looking at rain and whole lot pushing north—east, clearing during the course of sunday. sunday is a day of bright spells, a little bit of sunshine and showers and it is also going to be fairly breezy. temperatures at best 14 or 15. and an action replay on monday as the next system behind my head comes our way. so the weather certainly over the next few days as remaining unsaddled. thank you very much. theresa may will address leaders in brussels later today to speed up the process of brexit negotiations. she has also published an open letter to eu citizens living in the uk, promising to make it as easy as possible for them to continue to live here after brexit. i would never have imagined it could have happened, that wrecks it was a possibility, so i made my life choices based on the assumption i could live here as long as i wanted. i feel secure, there is could live here as long as i wanted. ifeel secure, there is no problem to come here, and find work, and work, and live my life. let's see what she has to say, but as long as we are all working, and taxes, i think that of course she will say she is happy to have immigration.” would like to believe in her promises, but i don't know if what she says is real and if her promises can be real in the future. so those are some of the voices living in london, from the eu. the immigration minister joins london, from the eu. the immigration ministerjoins us from our westminster studio. thank you very much for your time this morning. could you explain to us first of all, what is different about what theresa may is saying? what the prime minister has outlined this morning in that letter is that we are within touching distance of having an agreement. we are being clear with people and have consistently outlined this, that we wa nt to consistently outlined this, that we want to citizens in the uk, the people you have just been listening to in your show, to stay here and be confident they can stay here, continuing to contribute and be valued members of our communities, and of course making sure that the 1 million british citizens who are living and working overseas in europe also have that reciprocal agreement. and actually setting out for them the kind of process of a simple, streamlined process that we wa nt to simple, streamlined process that we want to use, to have that central status that gives them effectively the same rights as a british citizens. but nothing has changed, has a? all it is, at the end of the day, and i am quoting, theresa may says we want them and their families to stay. it is the same as she has said all along. we want them to stay, but there are no guarantees, nothing has changed. we have been very consistent all along that we wa nt very consistent all along that we want them to stay, and is one of the things that is common across the offer we have made, a fair and serious offer, and what the eu is wanting. 0ur citizens can stay where they are, and the eu citizens can stay here, and we want them to. what the letter outlines as some of the process we want to go through in the next period, having people like the people you have just had on your show, involved in working with the home office around processes we are going to use to make sure it is a simple, streamlined system when it comes into place, to get that process done so that people can have confidence that they can gain citizenship very quickly. help us with a couple of things. if any use of summarise here between now and 31 march 2019, can they stay? well, one of the things that are still part of the negotiation is when the cut—off date will be. we have said either the triggering of article 50 or march 2019. the triggering of article 50 or march 20 19. well, the triggering of article 50 or march 2019. well, theresa may is talking about what she wants. and you are the immigration minister. is what you want a situation where anyone who arrived here before that cut—off date can stay? is that what you want? well, if the negotiation ends up with the cut—off date in march 2019, yes. anybody who is here now will be able to stay in what will happen is if they have been here for five years, they can apply foran game here for five years, they can apply for an game settled status right away. if they have not been here for five years but i hear before the cut—off date, they will be able to stay here for five d years to gain that settled status. we want them to stay. they are a very important part of our communities. it is important to remember we need to get a reciprocal agreement to make sure that british citizens who are living and working abroad have the same rights. the thing is, if you are someone who voted for brexit, and one of the reasons you did was you are worried about immigration, about people from europe taking jobs, if it was one of your motivations, you might be asking the question now, who exactly is going to have to leave ? who exactly is going to have to leave? because it appears that eve ryo ne leave? because it appears that everyone can stay. well, we have been very clear about the fact that we wa nt been very clear about the fact that we want to see net migration fall. in my constituency, people voted very heavily to leave, and i think primarily for the reason you have just outlined. who is going to have to go? can you give us that information? who is going to have to go? we are always removing people who are here illegally and what will happen after that cut—off date is freedom of movement will end. we are still in the eu, so freedom of movement is still in place. when we leave the eu will have a new immigration system coming in. that immigration system coming in. that immigration bill will follow in early 2018. on the issue of clarity, again, ithink early 2018. on the issue of clarity, again, i think i read this quote before. theresa may says we want them and their families to stay. so another scenario. you are an eu citizen, you are working here in the uk, yourfamily is wherever... portugal, spain. after march 30, can they come and join you? well, that is another part of the negotiation. 0bviously everyone who is here now will be able to stay and gain that settled davies. what we are offering is when we leave the european union and that freedom of movement as we know it ends, those people who he will have broadly the same rights british citizen, and if they want to bring family from abroad they will have to go through a process to show they can afford to have that family here with them. people who are here will be able to stay, but we want to make sure that families have the same rights as british citizens. i think people across this country would find it odd if we were granting people from abroad better rights than a british citizen has. so that families are not guaranteed to be able to join eu so that families are not guaranteed to be able tojoin eu citizens in the uk, they are not guaranteed to have theirfamilies the uk, they are not guaranteed to have their families be allowed to join them in the uk. obviously if they are already living and working here, they will be able to stay with theirfamilies. here, they will be able to stay with their families. but the families are not here. what you will find is that when people are living and working here, theirfamilies when people are living and working here, their families tend to when people are living and working here, theirfamilies tend to be when people are living and working here, their families tend to be with them. if they want to be here after them. if they want to be here after the new process comes in, when we leave the eu, they will have to do come the same way a british citizen would. can i talk to you about the negotiations themselves. we thought an hour, i mean, you thought, it is what the government was saying, we thought we would be moving the trade negotiations and the next stage. that is not happening, it is unlikely to happen now. what will happen? it seems like a complete deadlock. what indications are there, do you think, that anything is going to change? that is one of the of the reasons the prime minister made that speech, to try and get some momentum, and if you look at what the eu has said in its response, i think that has been quite positive, the meeting earlier in the week, obviously. and what we are trying to do with this is give that further momentum. we are pretty close to having a deal on this part of the agreement in terms of citizens rights. we want to get that done as soon as possible, so we can all move on to the next round of negotiations. that is why we said to our partners in europe we want them to be as imaginative and ambitious as we are in the offers we have made, with papers published in all kinds of things from law enforcement to citizens‘ rights. to get this pa rt to citizens‘ rights. to get this part of the agreement done so we can move on to talking about trade. the prime minister is trying to give real momentum to this, getting eve ryo ne real momentum to this, getting everyone in the same place so we can move on to the next stage. last thing, theresa may has said specifically she is expecting progress on eu and uk citizens in europe within weeks. you will know there is a letter signed in westminster by a number of mps saying that this is the time to get tough. is there now an explicit timeline, which is, if within three weeks these issues are not dealt with, that is the point at which theresa may turns into the hard—nosed theresa may turns into the ha rd—nosed element of theresa may turns into the hard—nosed element of these talks? so far she has been reluctant to do this. i think it is very important to focus on the fact that particularly this part of the deal, citizens‘ rights, we are close to having a deal. we are in touching distance of having a deal. is shipping a timeframe on a? absolutely, because i think we are very to getting that agreement. it will be good to get that done. i think the momentum she is trying to get behind that, with the letter today and the meeting in brussels in the next couple of days is to get that momentum, to get that part of the deal agreed so we can move on. 0bviously all these negotiations, as we have always said, are complicated negotiations. it is important we ta ke negotiations. it is important we take ourtime to negotiations. it is important we take our time to get that right, both for the uk and our partners in europe, and we want to continue to have a productive and positive relationship with them when we leave the eu. this was never going to be easy but we are in a situation now where in the next few weeks i am optimistic we will see a good breakthrough, especially in terms of citizens‘ rights. breakthrough, especially in terms of citizens' rights. inc you very much for your time today. —— thank you very much. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i‘m claudia—liza armah. three men who faked a £7 million robbery from their own security van have been jailed for a total of 23

tubes this morning, except for on the 0verground, where there are minor delays. the a13 is partly blocked westbound approaching the north circular, at the beckton roundabout, following a collision. queues all the way to the ferry lane interchange. 0n the m25, there are delays clockwise from j31 in west thurrock towards the dartford river crossing, following an accident on the qe2 bridge. let‘s have a check on the weather now. hello, good morning. it‘s a rather damp and murky start to the day, a lot of low cloud around, and also some problems with mist and fog, too. so poor visibility on many of the roads. there may well be some travel disruption from this. you can keep up to date by listening to bbc radio london or on the twitter handle @bbctravelalert. now, it‘s a rather damp start, some fog issues, and it‘s a very mild start to the morning as well. we may well see some wet weather today, particularly out towards western counties as we head through the course of the morning, and then a drier afternoon, but always the chance of showers. particularly out towards eastern areas, we mayjust see a little bit of brightness, but it will very be short—lived, and cloudy for most of the day. but it will feel mild, 17 or 18. 0vernight tonight the wind is going to pick up, some strong gusts of wind through the night and also some rain, as you can see. still a very windy start to the day tomorrow but a mild one too, 11 or 12. now, the strong winds tomorrow morning will gradually die down. they‘ll become lighter. a much quieter day of weather, with possibly a bit of brightness around, and it should be mostly dry, but there‘ll be more rain on friday night. some showers on saturday, but the main issue on saturday is going to be the strength of the winds. some very strong gusts, but also some brightness and sunshine. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. theresa may makes a fresh promise to eu citizens living and working in the uk. in an open letter she vows to make it as easy as possible for them to stay — ahead of a key summit of european leaders in brussels. good morning, it‘s thursday, 19th of october. also this morning hundreds of opportunities for life—saving transplants are being missed, because bereaved families are objecting to organ donations — a bbc investigation reveals. sir tom jones tells us about sexual harrassment in the music industry — and says it happened to him at the start of his career. it was only once, really. how did that make you feel? terrible. then you think, i have to get away from this person. this is material harder than diamond, super strong and flexible and discovered in the manchester. but is graphene living up to the hype? iam here but is graphene living up to the hype? i am here to find out. in sport a six—goal thriller at stamford bridge where chelsea held off a fight back from roma to draw in the champions league. abba benny is here to tell us why he has decided to strip back the group‘s classic sound. and the weather. good morning, if you are out early, watch out for fog. in parts visibility is poor and today really anywhere can see rain. details in 15 minutes. good morning, first our main story. theresa may has written an open letter to eu citizens living in the uk — promising to make it as easy as possible for them to stay here after brexit. in it, the prime minister says that she wants eu citizens and their families to stay together here in the uk. the prime minister goes on to say that britain and the eu are within touching distance of an agreement. she says she is confident that discussions on citizens‘ rights will be concluded in the coming weeks. this all comes as 27 eu leaders gather in brussels for a summit later. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is in westminster and adam fleming is in brussels. chris, how will this play out at home? good morning, ithink good morning, i think what is striking is this is a date in westminster and brussels that has been circled in the diary with a big felt tip pen for months, because this was the point where it was hoped on both sides there would be movement forward from the untangling process of the current relationship with the eu to moving on with the future relationship, trading relationship after brexit but we know before the summit starts that has not happened and will not happen at this particular point. what is striking, and very clear in the conversation charlie had with the immigration minister, is just conversation charlie had with the immigration minister, isjust how many unanswered questions there are, particularly for the 3 million eu citizens in uk wondering what life might be like as well as british citizens in the eu. the hope from westminster is the summit will allow a nod, some inkling of progress to be made in the future. if not right now. thanks, chris. and adam fleming is in brussels. we close to a breakthrough? not quite that. for the government, good and bad news in brussels, the bad news, the chief negotiator will say there has not been enough progress in the first phase of brexit the divorce issues, to the second phase about trade, the future relationship and any possible transition deal but the good news is, when the eu leaders discuss brexit tomorrow, they will say eu officials should in start preparing for the second phase of talks so kind of giving the green light to the talks happening eventually but not giving the green lightjust eventually but not giving the green light just yet. adam, eventually but not giving the green lightjust yet. adam, thanks. more than 500 families have objected to a deceased relative donating an organ over the past five years, despite them being on the donor register. a bbc 5live investigation has found that the most common reason forfamilies overriding a loved one‘s wishes, is their fear that the donation process will take too long. mark hutchings reports. for many, becoming an organ donor is a crucially important life—and—death decision. now, data from nhs blood and transplant shows that since 2012, 505 people who had signed the donor register had that wish vetoed by their families. in the past year, the number of deceased donors was 1400, but 91 cases were blocked. under legislation, relatives don‘t have a right to override their loved one‘s pledge, but in practice, objections are being adhered to. the most frequent were from relatives who thought the donation process took too long, with other common complaints that the patient had suffered enough, or that there was divided opinion in the family. 0ne teenager who signed a register is clear her views should hold sway. i want the final say of what happens to me i die. when i signed, i wasn‘t aware of the whole thing that my family had to be supportive of the decision. and it seems like, well, what‘s the point of signing up if it could be overruled anyway? in 2015, in addition to the register, the welsh government introduced a policy of deemed consent under which it‘s assumed an individual has no objection to donating organs unless they‘ve said otherwise. though families are still consulted. similar changes are planned in england and scotland. and the message from those promoting organ donation is, whatever the law, it is as important as ever to discuss your wishes with loved ones. mark hutchings, bbc news. we will discuss that in a moment. sir tom jones has told the bbc that he was sexually harassed at the start of his career. the singer said it only happened to him once but that the problem is widespread in the music industry. 0ur arts and entertainment correspondent colin paterson reports. for more than 50 years, sir tom jones has played up his reputation as a sex symbol. but in an interview for 5live‘s afternoon edition for the series launch of the voice, he says he was sexually harassed by a man in the music industry and it happened at the start of his career in the 19605. but you avoid it. good grief. what is tried on women is tried on men as well. he did tell other people about the proposition at the time and the incident was never repeated. it was only once, really. how did it make you feel? terrible. but i thought, "i‘ve got to get away from this person" and it can‘t be like this. sir tom jones had been giving his reaction to recent allegations and revelations surrounding the us film industry and said that, to him, it was an all—too—familiar story. he also said that when it came to the world of entertainment as a whole, he hopes that, as he put it, the cork was now out of the bottle and justice would be done. millions of workers — particularly women — are trapped in low—paid jobs with little chance of escape, according to new research. a study for the social mobility commission found that one in four low—paid workers, which it defines as those earning below 8.25 per hour, were "permanently stuck" — with little chance of earning higher salaries. a second deadline for catalonia to confirm whether it is breaking away expires at 9am. spain wants carles puigdemont to retract a unilateral declaration of independence. if you does not ministers in madrid are expected to take control of catalonia‘s administration. this has to be one of the most stunning free shows on earth. this is the natural phenomenon known as black sun. it‘s created by tens of thousands of starlings gathering in the sky for their nightly ritual, or murmuration. horacio llorens travelled to denmark to embrace his dream of flying amongst the birds. the black sun dance occurs twice a year in spring and autumn. an amazing experience. we will have the weather and sport coming up later. the bbc has discovered that more than 500 bereaved families have blocked the donation of organs for transplant, despite their deceased relatives being on the donor register. almost a third of families who overrode their relative‘s wishes said they did so because they felt the process took too long. joining us now is anthony clarkson, from the nhs blood and transplant service and jess harris, who is currently on the pancreas and kidney transplant waiting lists. good morning. anthony, let me start with you. one of the reasons we have brought this up, families object to organs being donated is because the process is very long and it adds to the trauma of losing a loved one. is that a fair reason? and understandable reason why so few families are adopting this? understandable reason why so few families are adopting this7m understandable reason why so few families are adopting this? it is a complex process, the donation process , complex process, the donation process, and we have to match the organs and offer them to the transplant units, so they can get the best match. that takes time. however, we do our utmost to shorten it. what is a typical period? it may ta ke it. what is a typical period? it may take 12 hours to do that from the time we have taken consent from the family, to the donation operation, and then the organs go on to be transplanted. it can take up to 24 hours. we support the families throughout that time with specialist nurses employed by the nhs that work with the nurses and doctors in intensive care to support the families and keep them informed. for many watching this, organ transplant is something you hope it doesn‘t happen to you but you hope that someone would be in a position to donate an organ and you are in that position. what is your situation? i have type 1 diabetes and have had it 17 years. a year and a half ago i got a call from my consultant saying ata got a call from my consultant saying at a routine blood test i had to see at a routine blood test i had to see a specialist the next day. the more doctors you more opinions you get and one doctor said you have five yea rs before and one doctor said you have five years before needing transplants. i gotan years before needing transplants. i got an infection at the hospital and my kidney function took a steep decline. now you are on the waiting list? for kidney and pancreas. because of the diabetes, doctors made a decision that if ijust have a kidney transplant i will be in the same situation in another four yea rs. same situation in another four years. i have officially only be active on the list five, six weeks, but since april this year was when doctors started saying this is your only option and you need to prepare for it and have the assessments as medical test and psychological tests. and what are the chances of getting the organs you need? one doctor told me not to ask questions ido doctor told me not to ask questions i do not want answers to. i go for a monthly blood test to get antibodies for the cross matches. i believe with my operation being the pancreas and keep me it is a shorter wait than just needing a kidney sale on average the weight is 12 months rather than upwards of three years, i think. you are someone who needs an organ transplant. we are hearing there are situations when someone has signed the appropriate forms and the family say it is not going to happen which is respected by the nhs. when you hear that, what do you think? up until! nhs. when you hear that, what do you think? up until i was in this situation, i never considered signing the register, any of it. the more i got involved with promoting it, it is one of those things, it is awful to think about, you do not need your possessions, your organ when you have passed away and you could save up to nine lives by signing up to the register. we are the only country where you have an the only country where you have an opt in rather than adopt out. you mean we have to actively say you wa nt to mean we have to actively say you want to donate. most other countries you have to actively opt out. if we had an opt out situation... people are lazy and if they have to take action, that way we would end up with more on the register. my understanding is the law says it is up understanding is the law says it is up to the donor to consent, so why does a family, and it is understandable, you do not want to cause more distress to a family, why has the family the ability to override this? the law says families should support that decision but it does not say must and does not allow for circumstances when —— it does allow for circumstances where the family might be distressed and does not support it, and otherfamily family might be distressed and does not support it, and other family say they do not know, which is why we encourage individuals to tell the family. when do they do that? if it were something sudden like an automobile accident, there isn‘t that time or the ability to communicate and talk about things like that. these are sudden deaths, so you have to do it earlier when peoplejoin sudden deaths, so you have to do it earlier when people join the register. many do it when they get their driving licence or renew their road tax. when you get your card, it‘s worth telling your family at that time that you want to do it. many families will remember that and respect that. it‘s when they haven‘t had a conversation that they may well question it. we talk about those situations when problems arise this morning, but a lot of people in your situation do benefit. it‘s the most amazing generosity from beyond the grave. where somebody says, i can help someone. it does happen routinely. it does. 457 people died waiting when on the transplant list, but giving life to someone is an incredible thing. at the moment i'm spending a lot of time in hospital andl spending a lot of time in hospital and i hope that after the transplant in living a full life and doing what my friends are doing. they are travelling and in full—time jobs. i'm very envious. i never thought i would want to go to work! i would love to spend my time watching daytime tv or having an afternoon nap, ithought, but having been daytime tv or having an afternoon nap, i thought, but having been in this situation, i would love nothing more than to work monday to friday ina more than to work monday to friday in a full—time job or to travel. i have to take each half a day as it comes. have to take each half a day as it comes. you literally don't know when the phone will... you need to have a bag. the bag is packed ready to give birth. i'm waiting for the kidney call. i call it kidney kevin, because everything with the name is slightly friendlier. i have a blog where i can write down my feelings week by week and i can look back on it to see the journey it's been. i hope after the transplant my life is as full as it should be. we wish you well and let us know as and when that call comes in. i would love to come in afterwards and show you... we understand. thank you for sharing your story with us. here‘s carol with a look at this morning‘s weather. this morning we have some dense fog around. visibility gamage 50 metres in some places. that fog will only be slow to clear. —— visibility down to 50 metres in some places. the rain coming across the surface, clipping used in scotland is fairly light, in comparison to the rain coming across northern ireland which will be heavy and persistent. going through the day, the rain will slowly move eastwards, whereas the first band of rain will move north. heavy bursts in that. head of that, cloud around, the fog i mentioned and limited amounts of sunshine. in northern ireland, when the rain sets m, northern ireland, when the rain sets in, you have got it for the day and some of it will be heavy. across wales, rain by the afternoon come across in south—west england. heavy bursts in some areas. behind that heavy rain the wind will start to strengthen. ahead of it, cloud around with brighter breaks and the glimmer or two of sunshine which will be fairly transient and most of us will be fairly transient and most of us will not see it. the rain coming in to north—east england, some of it will be heavy. north—west england and parts of scotland see some sunshine but still a lot of crowd with dampness around. western scotla nd with dampness around. western scotland seeing rain arrive in the afternoon. through the evening, the rain picking across south—west wales and the english channel. gusts of around 60 mph. as the overnight period extends to the morning, the low pressure bringing all of this moves into the north sea and the rain will turn more patchy and the wind will ease. starting tomorrow morning with a lot of cloud around. patchy outbreaks of rain and then sunshine. more of us seeing sunshine than today. it will not last with the next area of low pressure coming our way. a fairly potent one. the hour so bars our way. a fairly potent one. the hourso bars —— our way. a fairly potent one. the hour so bars —— the isobars indicate it will windy and wet. these tightly packed bars particularly across southern areas. south wales, south—west england and the english channel, gusts of wind at 60 mph. locally 70 mph. inland at 50 mph. couple that with spring land high tides and we could see waves crashing on to shore. the potential for overtopping and the risk of localised flooding from dorset to sussex. as the low—pressure pulls away gusty wind across northern ireland for a time. on sunday, a breezy day with cloud around, sunny spells and showers. temperatures are no great shakes, 13, 14 and maybe 15 towards the channel islands. whenjane goodall started studying chimpanzees 57 years ago, she couldn‘t have imagined the impact that her observations would have on our understanding of man‘s closest relative. now 83, a new documentary has been made about her life, based on more than 100 hours of never—before—seen footage. in a moment we‘ll speak to dr sonya hill, a professor of animal welfare and behaviour at chester university. but first, let‘s take a look at the film. dr sonya hill, welcome to breakfast. good morning. looking at those images, this is charting a life‘s work. absolutely. jane goodall is now in her 80s but first started in tanzania almost 60 years ago and is still going strong in terms of her conservation work, working with young people, all kinds of things. still going strong and still very active. how did she make such a difference? she's an incredibly special person. if you ever get the chance to meet her, and charlie, you said you met her before, she has an amazing calmness and aura about her. she will walk into a room, and she isa she will walk into a room, and she is a small, petite woman and she will hold a room. you can hear a pin drop when she walks in. she has an amazing persona but also has an amazing persona but also has an amazing skill for studying animal behaviour and communicating with people, for eating people engaged and listening to the message. -- for getting people engaged. we are very much in tune with the idea of conservation now. i imagine the battles she was facing now was different then as it is now. absolutely. conservation is not the big thing that it is now. we didn‘t have concerns back then. so much destruction has gone on since then. in 1960 it was completely unheard of for a young british woman to go to the wilds of africa to study chimpanzees so her mother went with her, to act as a chaperone, insisted on by the authorities. she was also not a trained scientist when she first started. even know the famous palaeoanthropologist lewis first started. even know the famous palaeoa nthropologist lewis lea key, who had seen the potential in her to work with chimpanzees, had arranged for her to do the study, he recognise she had the skills, but the scientific community at the time, mainly male and had very different methods that we had now, largely thanks to jane, they didn‘t understand and she they felt that she wasn‘t being scientific enough. all these things we talk about is being normal, back then she was seen as somebody doing it wrong. she was ground—breaking. there is a human side to this and there is a love story attached. she met hugo van lawick, the national geographic photographer sent out to record what she was doing. at first she was resista nt to she was doing. at first she was resistant to his presence because she thought it would disrupt the relationship she was trying to establish with chimpanzees. but they fell in love, and work together. we all love chimpanzees. we think of them as being close to us. what were them as being close to us. what were the elements of their behaviour that she tuned into that others hadn‘t previously? part of it is she was so patient and has that ability to watch and observe and listen to the behaviour, listen to what the chimps tell us through their behaviour. she discovered things like chimps using tools. that is such common knowledge now but we know it through other species as well. back then it was the only humans used tools. she also found out that they weren‘t the peace for vegetarians, that they hunt and eat meat. monkeys, bush picks, other primates. —— bush pigs. they have similar emotions to us, angen they have similar emotions to us, anger, jealousy, grief, the things we experience. lovely to see those images once again. and the film, simply titled jane, is out next month. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. folk may have caused problems this morning and it continues to clear but today it will be an unsettled day —— fog. this weather system will bring in strong winds as we go into the weekend. today rain affecting areas. more cloud and rain spreading through northern ireland which will be heavy and persistent in northern ireland. with this area of rain, strong winds and gales lightly around the bristol channel coast and along the english channel the first pa rt along the english channel the first part of this evening. they will slowly a bate. part of this evening. they will slowly abate. tonight with further outbreaks of rain in england and wales, temperatures staying in double figures. 0n wales, temperatures staying in double figures. on friday, the rain will gradually clear away. many of us will gradually clear away. many of us having a dry afternoon on friday with sunshine and temperatures up to 13-15, but with sunshine and temperatures up to 13—15, but more rain spreading into the west. the weather system i showed at the start, a big area of low pressure moving to the uk through friday night into saturday. a big area of low pressure and an active feature. that will bring severe gales around coastal areas of west wales and southern england, potentially up to 70 mph. showers are associated with that. still u nsettled are associated with that. still unsettled on sunday. quite breezy conditions. the wind will have eased a little. the rain pretty much cleared and by sunday afternoon especially some sunshine. the weekend starting off pretty stormy. gales and severe gales around western and southern areas with rain, as well. this is business live from bbc news with ben thompson and sally bundock. a big day for brexit. eu leaders begin a two—day summit but will the talks end in deadlock again. live from london, that‘s our top story on thursday 19th october. there are still big questions over the cost of the divorce, who will pay and what trade relationship britain will have with the rest of the eu? we‘ll assess what‘s at stake. also in the programme.... checking in on china. growth in the world‘s second largest economy slows — but what does it mean for the rest of the world? we‘ll be live in beijing.
