football, world champions twice. as the under—17s take on spain in their world cup final later today. and do not try this at home! i'll be testing my nerves as i have a close encounter with the british team gearing up for the bike trials world championship in china. and louise has the weather. some. wales, but the best of any sunshine will be in the south—east. more details through the warning. good morning. first our main story. it's been a night of both celebration and protest in barcelona, after the catalonian parliament voted to declare independence from spain. the spanish government quickly retaliated, sacking catalonia's president and his entire cabinet and taking the region back under central control. prime minister mariano rajoy said his country could not stand by while part of its territory was stolen. andrew plant reports. the streets of barcelona, catalonia's capital, where crowds have been celebrating through the night after the regional government here declared its independence from spain. translation: every citizen is clear about the goal. the price we will pay perhaps is expensive. but here we do things well, we work well here, and we respect everybody. si, si, si! this was the moment the catalonia's government voted to declare itself an independent state. 300 miles away in madrid, spain's national government was also voting to take away catalonia's regional powers and sack its leader after refusing to recognise catalonia's independence. translation: normality starts with law. in order to return institutional legitimacy and to give a voice to all catalans, i have now dissolved the catalan parliament to hold regional elections on the 21st of december. it is a confusing picture, even within catalonia itself, many people don't want to be separate from spain. the spanish government says it will now take back control. but how will that work? and what about the tens of thousands of catalonian people today who believe they're already living in a separate state, one they would argue spain no longer has any power to control. andrew plant, bbc news. nine service personnel on a nuclear submarine have been discharged from the royal navy after testing positive for drugs. the ministry of defence confirmed the dismissals from hms vigilant, one of four submarines that carry the trident nuclear deterrent. kathryn stanczyszyn is here to tell us more. what has happened here? the royal navy says that it will not tolerate the misuse of drugs. the ministry of defence has confirmed that all nine of these sub mariners have now been removed from duty. the daily mail is reporting that hms vigilant was. somewhere in the united states for some time. there was work going on in the vessel. during this time, there seems to have been a lot of partying, the daily mail alleges that all nine of these service personnel had taken cocaine and when senior officers ordered drug testing thatis senior officers ordered drug testing that is when all of this came about. hms vigilant is an important part of the uk's nuclear deterrent, one of four submarines with nuclear warheads on board. it is no stranger to controversy. earlier this month its captain was removed from post after allegations of an inappropriate relationship with one memberof the inappropriate relationship with one member of the crew. these revelations are nowjust deepening that controversy around one of the uk's chi navy vessels. thank you. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn will use a speech today to warn about what he calls "a warped and degrading culture" thriving at westminster which he says tolerates the abuse of women. his comments follow newspaper allegations of inappropriate conduct by unnamed mps. our political correspondent ellie pricejoins us now from westminster. it is interesting timing? we have heard plenty about it over the last of the few weeks, and todayjeremy corbyn says that there is misogyny and sexism across and it is allowed to thrive in the corridors of power in westminster. he says there needs to bea in westminster. he says there needs to be a turning point, that any mps involved need to be held to account and infact involved need to be held to account and in fact a general need to be women need to find it easier to report harassment. these reports yesterday in the sun newspaper that parliamentary researchers were using whatsapp to share information about mps that were behaving inappropriately. there have been further allegations this morning. it is worth noting that no formal complaint has yet been made and no mps have been named. yesterday downing street also had something to say about it. they are suggesting that they are taking all the reports very seriously and anyone with any information is to come forward. thank you. british overseas territories damaged by hurricanes could get access to official foreign aid in the future, under plans being considered by the world's richest nations. there was controversy last month when it emerged that some caribbean islands hit by hurricane irma were considered too rich to receive overseas help. but new rules from the organisation for economic cooperation and development would allow countries to requalify for aid if they suffer long term damage. the first charges have been filed in the investigation into alleged meddling by russia in last year's american presidential election, according to the us broadcaster, cnn. a former head of the fbi, robert mueller, is leading the inquiry. it hasn't been revealed who has been charged, but us media claim at least one person will be taken in to custody on monday. england could round off a year of success for its junior sides by winning the fifa under 17's world cup this afternoon. england face spain in the final which is being held in kolkata in india. rahul tandon is outside the salt lake stadium for us this morning. the excitement is building. we have seen you the excitement is building. we have seen you move the excitement is building. we have seen you move inside the stadium now where they are getting ready for this massive natural football?m where they are getting ready for this massive naturalfootball? it is a huge match. the biggest match that has ever taken a huge match. the biggest match that has ever ta ken place a huge match. the biggest match that has ever taken place in india. it was on this pitch that england dismantled brazil on wednesday, dumping the favourite out of the tournament. in a a few hours' time they will be out on that against the spanish. it will be a big test for them, spain are the european champions, they began earlier this summer. champions, they began earlier this summer. but i think what this england team have shown is that they have players that are as good if not better than anywhere else in the world. the future of english football looks safe, as long as they can get into those premiership sides. they will have the majority of the fans supporting them in side the stadium because of the premiership. one of england's biggest global products. people here love manchester united, manchester city, chelsea, they also like barcelona and real madrid, but the premiership means england will have the support here. you can watch the on bbc tv, this is the biggest game, whoever you support. what you think the score will be? as long as england win, if you are an england fan doesn't matter. they have been playing well, 2—1 to england. fan doesn't matter. they have been playing well, 2-1 to england. we will see if that is the reality. coverage of the final begins on bbc two at 3:20pm. i love when someone puts a score out there and says they are not too diplomatic about it. over the years, the oval office in the white house has played host to a number of high profile dignitaries from around the world. yesterday, president trump's guests were not only young but also a little spooky. halloween came early to washington when the children of the white house press core gathered round the commander—in—chief. along with witches, princesses, gouls there was a batman, that is president trump in the middle! mr trump who has what could be considered a love hate relationship with the media joked that he couldn't believe "the media produced such beautiful children". onei one i thought that was a good joke. louise will have the weather and michael have the sport. officials in madrid and catalonia are considering their next moves this morning, after the catalan parliament voted to declare independence from spain. in what's become an escalating constitutional crisis, the spanish government announced it was taking control of catalonia, sacking its president, dissolving parliament and organising new regional elections. but pro—indepence supporters have remained defiant in demonstrations late into the night. let's speak now to our correspondent tim willcox, who's in barcelona. and there are so many views, contrary views, but also people very concerned about what happens next to their future. good morning. pro independence supporters were celebrating late into the night here in barcelona. but there is a feeling that this is the calm before uncertainty and the calm before a storm. even though mariano rajoy has sacked the head of police, he has suspended the catalan parliament. he has sacked them as well. there is no sense of that on the streets at the moment. barcelona and catalonia continues as normal. the feeling here among those separatists is that the longer that continues, the greater chance they have of maintaining this autonomous, sovereign state. let's speak to one of the campaigners for independence. i know you were out celebrating, thousands of people were out here on the streets last night. many millions of course catalans don't wa nt millions of course catalans don't want to leave spain, what is the thinking among your group about how the future lies? the future is bright. in the near future we have to stand for the republic, the majority... we will only achieve our objective of becoming an independent state. madrid has suspended the parliament. you have no international recognition. fenland will vote on it and maybe argentina, but nothing yet. —— finland. i would use of the —— how will you survive? if they cut off finances. use of the —— how will you survive? if they cut off financeslj use of the —— how will you survive? if they cut off finances. i would... who is backing you? wing that is probably secret because the government doesn't want to tell about it. when you get into something as big as declaring independence. i believe our government has plans and back—up plans. that is what we have seen with the referendum before starting this process. we have to stand for out this process. we have to stand for our freedom, who will recognise as if we don't believe in our declaration? there are 10,000 national police on a boat about half a mile away from where we are now. what happens if madrid says you need to go in, you need to take back control and restore the legality as mariano rajoy says over the situation? what happens then? will lead the mass demonstration, strikes? it is complicated. the population doesn't want to be controlled even using force will be very difficult for the spanish government. just explain to us why you want independence. you are allowed to speak catalan here. we're not talking about the days of franco. you have autonomy and huge freedom, you can celebrate your culture and history. why do you want total independence? spain needs reform. we have been asking for a very long time to reform the government, to reform the constitution and the only and so we got was, no, no, no. to the point that for me it is not about the cost of living spain in the short term. i don't in spain is a viable economy or country, as the economy is organised now and they don't seem to be doing anything about it. i want to have a better country for my children and i want to leave them the possibility of living in a wealthy state in the future. thank you very much indeed. as we have heard, mariano rajoy, within minutes of the declaration of independence and announced that she would invoke article 155, that is direct rule from madrid. but at the moment it is not clear how he is going to do that. it's a quick, concretely here in catalonia. thank you very much. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. it will be in the mid—30s in spite of —— parts of spain. think about that. scotland has windy conditions, get out of bed and take a photograph. unfortunately we are looking at gale force winds and patchy rain across western scotland. further south and western skies there is sunshine. there will be a bit of a contrast in the weather story. it is not looking too bad, in eastern areas of scotland which we get some sunshine and feel quite pleasant, i6 get some sunshine and feel quite pleasant, 16 degrees is not out of the question. itjust in excess of 40 the question. itjust in excess of a0 or 50 miles an hour. there is quite a lot of cloud across northern ireland and wales. to the east of the pennines, despite 50 mile an hour gusts of wind, in shelter it will feel quite pleasant and you could get highs of 17 if the sunshine continues to come through in the london area. but, the winds and the cloud will push further south overnight tonight, we will see cloudy conditions moving our way across wales and down into the south—west will stop clear skies behind i'm just going to stop the clock and show you that from two o'clock onwards, don't forget tonight is the night we say goodbye tonight is the night we say goodbye to british summer time and put the clock back. the good news is that we getan clock back. the good news is that we get an extra hour in bed. that is very good news for me! but it is going to be a chilly start to the day. the wind is coming from a northerly direction and that means that nicole ayr will push down through scotland, across england, perhaps just a little bit more through scotland, across england, perhapsjust a little bit more in the way of patchy cloud to be south—west. here it is not quite as cold, ia or 15. it will feel noticeably different despite the sunshine that will see... just an outside chance of a feud showers through the north sea coast. the high pressure will stay with this, sunday night into monday morning. that is when we really could have a chilly start to the day. the winds will fall light across the country as well. with clear skies, might wince at this time of year, that can only lead to one thing. that is a chilly starting monday morning. particularly in general spots we could see loads to just below freezing in one or two places. it could be our first widespread frost across the country. a cold start on monday morning, hopefully a dry one with sunshine coming through. and then the day will change as we go one. the winds swing round to aid north—westerly, they will turn u nsu btle north—westerly, they will turn unsubtle through the middle of the week, but also milder. my favourite thing about that weather forecast was your dance! thank you. an eight week review of the housing market in england and wales began this week — with the promise of making buying and selling property "cheaper, faster and less stressful". one area that the government says it will investigate is how the conveyancing process could be improved. adam shaw, presenter of radio a's money box, has been looking into this. tell us about the report what it is trying to do? people who are trying to by iphone, people know it can be a nightmare. it feels old—fashioned ina a nightmare. it feels old—fashioned in a way. —— buya home. i a nightmare. it feels old—fashioned in a way. —— buy a home. i looked at the paperwork on the property i bought. it looks mind—bogglingly large. it looks old—fashioned and people know it is a bit of a nightmare. people are having this process ankle a call for evidence saying, what is wrong with the syste m saying, what is wrong with the system that you can tell us about? and what can we do about it to make it faster, simpler and less stressful. and in a digital age where we have everything on our phone. there are uppity buyers who felt in the past they weren't informed about —— property buyers. we spoke to one couple who brought their first we spoke to one couple who brought theirfirst home we spoke to one couple who brought their first home and they had signed a contract where the ground rent could double every ten years. what is more they felt they could buy the freehold in the future and that would be all right. it turns out that it became too expensive to do that it became too expensive to do that and now they feel they cannot even sell their property because the ground rents are so expensive and the freehold is so expensive. and the freehold is so expensive. and the freehold is so expensive. and the freehold is so expensive, we should have been properly informed about this from our conveyance. that isa about this from our conveyance. that is a growing issue. there is a group of about 300 people who have bought their homes are now trying to launch legal action against conveyancers and others to say, we need to be properly informed about this and because you didn't do that you are failing in yourjob. this is part of this review a strong swell of opinion that is saying this is a system that needs to be changed. we get a lot of people getting in touch about this problem. whatever conveyancing association said ?|j find conveyancing association said?” find the mark thinking they would say everything is fine. they say, no, in their words, say everything is fine. they say, no, in theirwords, this say everything is fine. they say, no, in their words, this is a broken system in needs to change. what they wa nt to system in needs to change. what they want to see our sellers who come out with a conveyancing pack already there. before you have even made an offer on the property, all the legal work is done. that had been tried in the past and it didn't work. but they now feel this needs revisiting and something needs to be done. thank you. you can find more about this on radio a at midday. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. it's time now for a look at the newspapers. professor of entrepreneurship is here vikas. the times is saying spain on the brink. after catalans declare independence. that is a story also covered in the guardian. baby crisis in spain over catalonia independence. madrid to impose direct rule after parliament votes to break away. we will continue to talk about this. the eu's worst nightmare. on the front of the daily express. brussels is facing a disaster over the crisis in spain and they quote nigel farrell. on the front of the daily mirror after we we re front of the daily mirror after we were talking about this yesterday, abouthk, the white house releasing these files that give more detail about the assassination of the president back in 1963. thereafter you a held back. conspiracy theory at —— theorists still have plenty to talk about. you are talking about life in the slow lane after life in the fast lane. this is a lovely picture! can you imagine the? a nice warm sea , picture! can you imagine the? a nice warm sea, lying back looking up at the sky? looks like a very relaxing picture, but the person is a former supreme court judge. it picture, but the person is a former supreme courtjudge. it talks picture, but the person is a former supreme court judge. it talks about all these incredibly people who've had high—profile careers and they haven't figured out what to do next. when retirement comes in, what do you do? it is a really common problem. notjust for people in high stress jobs, that this problem. notjust for people in high stressjobs, that this is problem. notjust for people in high stress jobs, that this is a problem. notjust for people in high stressjobs, that this is a problem for everyone. you lose your routine. and in some sense your purpose. iron it is quite strange, when you are working with entrepreneurs in particular, one of the think their advisers do is prepare them psychologically or what happens next. i remember sitting with one entrepreneur where their wealth adviser with saying you need to find adviser with saying you need to find a hobby or life will be very difficult. i see that a lot when i talk to different people, business people. they say i would just do a feud consultant things... exactly. what else have you got? the nhs cyber attack. tell us about that? in this story they are saying that kim jong—un are blamed for the cyber attack. whoever was to blame and whether it was a government act was someone whether it was a government act was someone else, we have to be prepared that this is affecting businesses. real businesses are getting their data hijacked and being held to ransom. this is impacting their ability to run. you have to be prepared, even small businesses are at risk. don't most businesses prepare now? there is a lot more emphasis on security? there is definitely the box ticking aspect. i have a firewall and an antivirus so lam safe. have a firewall and an antivirus so i am safe. but what they don't realise is that the vast majority of these attacks don't come through that. it is notjust a little pipe that. it is notjust a little pipe that connects to your computer. it is people pretending to be it support, there is that psychological aspect which is the way the hack is getting, by getting a password or in access to something when they shouldn't. this is a company no stranger to controversy, deliveroo. what about these dark kitchens they are opening? it is a fascinating insight into these big economies. what is happening is that the big re sta u ra nt what is happening is that the big restaurant chains are making tonnes of money from deliveroo. they now have 25,000 rest once on that. but they are setting up small kitchens in industrial containers on industrial parks. they are run by popular chains and michelin starred restaurants. this is the food that goes out on delivery to our homes. to customers know they are not getting it from the proper source? this is the controversy, the customers are not aware that if they had ordered from the mitchell and starred restaurant, it might have been prepared in and shipping container in an industrial park and not the restaurant. ultimately, it will be the same restaurant, it will be the same chefs and techniques and quality control. all of these things. it is the provenance. when a customer knows it wasn't made at that restaurant. it can't be the same chef can it? all of these re sta u ra nt same chef can it? all of these restaurant will have a head chef somewhere that pops in. they will have lots of executive chefs running their kitchens on a day—to—day basis. what i saw recently which was incredible. it was a box that they put motion centres on a mission and starred chef. then they put it on a robot with its robotic hands and it would just do exactly the method that the chef did. the ideal being that the chef did. the ideal being that you can have a library of recipes of different people and get this robot to cook them? did it taste the same? tasted exactly the same. you'd have to the same ingredients. there was all this malarkey of having everything in the same way. it could be the way to produce michelin starred food. are we losing the art of the sort of things? most importantly, the prove na nce things? most importantly, the provenance component that consumers really wa nt provenance component that consumers really want to know. they want to imagine that food was made by that chef in that restaurant with the atmosphere. if that is missing, does it impact? if you really wanted though, you could go to the resta u ra nt ? though, you could go to the restaurant? absolutely. we will talk to you in the next hour. the headlines are coming up, we will see you soon. hello, this is breakfast with steph mcgovern and naga munchetty. coming up before seven — louise will have the weather. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. it's been a night of both celebration and protest in barcelona, after the catalan parliament voted to declare independence from spain. the spanish government furiously retaliated, sacking catalonia's president and his entire cabinet and taking the region back under central control. prime minister mariano rajoy said his country could not stand by while part of its territory was stolen. nine service personnel on a nuclear submarine have been discharged from the royal navy, after testing positive for drugs. the ministry of defence confirmed the dismissals from hms vigilant, one of four submarines that carry the trident nuclear deterrent. according to the daily mail, the men are alleged to have taken cocaine during parties while the submarine was docked in the united states. a royal navy spokesperson said it does not tolerate drugs misuse. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, will use a speech today to warn that a "warped and degrading culture" which tolerates abuse of women is thriving at westminster. his comments, at a conference of the unite union at aviemore, will follow newspaper allegations of inappropriate conduct by unnamed mps. downing street has described the allegations of sexual harassment in politics as "deeply concerning". the first charges have been filed in the investigation into alleged meddling by russia in last year's american presidential election, according to the us broadcaster cnn. a former head of the fbi, robert mueller, is leading the inquiry. it hasn't been revealed who has been charged, but us media claim at least one person will be taken in to custody on monday. british overseas territories damaged by hurricanes could get access to official foreign aid in the future, under plans being considered by the world's richest nations. there was controversy last month when it emerged that some caribbean islands hit by hurricane irma were considered too rich to receive overseas help. but new rules from the organisation for economic cooperation and development would allow countries to requalify for aid if they suffer long term damage. residents of seaford in east sussex were told to stay inside last night and keep their doors and windows shut because of a noxious odour. emergency services said they were investigating complaints of a smell that was described as being like burning plastic. some people complained of stinging eyes and feeling sick. the incident happened close to a beach that was hit by a toxic haze in august, although sussex police says it doesn't believe the two events are linked. the prime minister, theresa may, has called on all companies to reveal the difference between what they pay male and female staff, saying "sustained action" was needed to tackle the gender pay gap. companies with more than 250 employees have to publish pay data

tonight, nasa wants us all to look to the skies as part of its international observe the moon night — an event that encourages us to learn more about earth's closest neighbour. i love looking at the stars at night. i do, too, as it's the official observed the moon debacle are we meant to do it in a different way? are we meant to make notes? we will be talking about that later. you wait till we speak to the experts! this afternoon we're going to be looking at something even more spectacular, and what's that? india, biggest ever football match, involving the england u17s, playing in front of 66,000 people. people all around the world are purring over the england stars, but where will they be in 2022? will they stick together like the famous german side which came through together? or will they be disbursed, go out on loan to championship sides and then their form...? go out on loan to championship sides and then theirform...? nothing wrong with the championship. nothing wrong with the championship. nothing wrong with the championship! but it seems that these young players don't a lwa ys seems that these young players don't always get the playing time that they need to fully developed. in sport, england get more teenage kicks. it could be the year in which, they're football, world champions twice. as the under—17s take on spain in their world cup final later today. striker rhian brewster has been their star, scoring seven goals in the tournament so far, including a hat—trick in the semifinal against brazil, as well as in the quarterfinal. we area we are a confident team and confident in our style of play. you can see the final, live on bbc two at 3.30. that's after you've watched football focus! thank you for that plug! and watched the moon! this is the ball you will see in the premier league from today. it's the yellow ball, it's meant to be more accurate than ever before — and it's easier to see at this time of year. isn't it up to the people kicking the ball to be accurate, rather than the ball? well, the ball is meant to help. pep guardiola was complaining about the ball which they used in the cup, so it does actually make a difference edit remember the world cup a few yea rs edit remember the world cup a few years ago in south africa they were using a ball which everybody hated. so, there were complaints about it occurs it was too light. it swerved all over the place, gave goalkeepers all over the place, gave goalkeepers a nightmare. i will tell you what's going on in football focus today. we've got martin keown and northern ireland manager michael o'neill. they've got this big play—off to reach the world cup. loads to talk about. and we will also be talking about. and we will also be talking about manchester united taking on spurs in the premier league. no harry kane for spurs. and liverpool ta ke harry kane for spurs. and liverpool take on huddersfield this weekend as well, jurgen klopp best mates with huddersfield manager david wagner. they've known each other for 25 yea rs, they've known each other for 25 years, so he always gets asked the question, what is it like playing against your best friend, and this is one of his answers... it is special, but everybody knows when you start playing whichever game, most of the time your opponents are your best friends and you still want to win, so that's the nature of the game. did you send who attacked last weekend when beat manchester united? yeah, probably! . what kind of text was it? that's private! but of course it was very positive, how could it be different? we have got jurgen klopp today, and we've also got asmir begovic on the programme. mark schwarzer has been to see him. a nice piece with claudio ranieri, who's enjoying himself at nantes at the moment. and we've got a nice piece on wolfs, who are top of the championship. until this afternoon! but they're playing really well. and la st but they're playing really well. and

first game since manager pedro caixhina was sacked. graeme murty takes charge today for the match at hearts. and striker and club vice—captain kenny miller will also be involved in the decision making. sheffield united have gone top of the championship — at least for this morning — after they beat yorkshire rivals leeds 2—1, in front of 3a,000 at elland road. substitute david brooks, who is only 20, got the winner they deserved in the last ten minutes. and the blades, whose entire squad is made up of british and irish players, are one point clear of wolves, who play qpr this afternoon. lewis hamilton is aiming to become world champion for a fourth time at the mexican grand prix this weekend. if he finishes fifth or better on sunday, the title is his, no matter what happens to his closest rival sebastian vettel. red bull's daniel ricciardo went faster than hamilton in a closely—contested second practice last night. vettel was fourth fastest, as the ferrari driver clings to his fading title hopes. it will take a major calamity from hamilton for him to surrender the crown and on the evidence in the second half of the season, it seems very unlikely. now, the world heavyweight champion, anthonyjoshua, says he has no ego, and feels like he's the challenger as he prepares to defend his titles against stand—in opponent carlos takam in cardiff tonight. joshua was due to face the bulgarian kubrat pulev, but he withdrew because of injury. alex gulrajarni is in cardiff. the greatest year in the boxing career as an td joshua the greatest year in the boxing career as an tdjoshua continues. now, he is known outside the boxing ring as much as in it, thanks to one night in april, when in front of 90,000 people he confirmed his status as one of the biggest draws in world boxing, beating wladimir klitschko. but that needs to be left to history — for now. klitschko. but that needs to be left to history - for now. i know everything has a beginning and an end, so while i am doing it i have to stay focused. if i don't have that motivation, boxing is tough enough as it is and i might as well go home now. i have to stay hungry and try and stay on top as long as possible. and that journey continues here in cardiff, the principality stadium getting ready to welcome anthonyjoshua stadium getting ready to welcome anthony joshua and stadium getting ready to welcome anthonyjoshua and 70,000 fans. being heavyweight champion of the world is big business. and only winning will keep him there. looking to become the first man to get the better of him is carlos takam, but joshua has different ideas. he has been at this level before — he's here again. if you keep on knocking, sooner or here again. if you keep on knocking, sooner or later, you will get there, sooner or later, you will get there, so i've just sooner or later, you will get there, so i'vejust got sooner or later, you will get there, so i've just got to boot him sooner or later, you will get there, so i'vejust got to boot him back out there! he always remains open to his fans — in his own words, a man of the people, always finding time to give something back.” of the people, always finding time to give something back. i do it because that's who i am and i fight because that's who i am and i fight because that's who i am and i fight because that's what i do. i know how to separate the two, and the job. saturday night the belts don't represent me, because they go out of. my coach goes out. or i have is my gumshield protector and my gloves. and he will, as he always does, with a smile on his face. now, he may have been rubbish at the football focus predictions, but... england captain joe root thinks australia have underestimated his side ahead of the ashes. root and his team fly out today, but their preparations have been undermined by all—rounder ben stokes' arrest outside a bristol nightclub. stokes is still waiting to hear if he'll be charged and won't travel, but root thinks others can fill his place. it's a great opportunity for someone else to come in. he's a fine player but i see a squad of players which is more than capable of going over there and doing something

might see a little more sunshine and warmth. —— of scotland. gale force gusts across the pennines into the afternoon. in sheltered eastern areas, with some sunshine, temperatures will respond and we could see 1a—17. but it's all change this evening and overnight, because that cloud and drizzly rain will push further south, along with the winds. clearer skies up to the far north. here, the wind comes round to a northerly. don't forget we put the clocks back an hour, and we say goodbye to british summertime, an extra hour in bed! mild start tomorrow down in the south. but with the clearer skies we will see some decent sunshine and tomorrow, yes, the wind is coming from the north but it will be lighter and we will also have some sunshine, so it's not too bad. but it's a good four or 5 degrees down in some places in comparison to what we've had. the winds remain light. in rural spots overnight, temperatures close to or just below freezing into monday morning. some sunshine around on

dancing. where is the best face to observe the moon on ake holiday? scotland, northern ireland, northern ireland would be the best place. are you going to be watching?” ireland would be the best place. are you going to be watching? i shall be asleep! tonight, nasa wants us all to look to the skies as part of its international observe the moon night — an event that encourages us to learn more about earth's closest neighbour. we can now speak to darren swindells, the vice president of the sheffield astronomical society. good morning. so, the north of the country is the best place to observe the moon tonight, but what should we be looking for? it shows so many different phases, because it always changes. depending on what kind of instrument you're using, orjust the naked eye, you can see different features. with the naked eye, you can see the dark seas, which are big infilled lather basins. and what we're looking at now, i believe these ones you took, so what can we see? you can see the dark areas, the big lava filled basins. you can see the craters. tonight it is a good phase to see it, because we've got a lot of low sunshine, so you get lots of dark shadows. and when you've got a bigger telescope you can see the shadows shorten over the course of the night, as the sun rises. the craters and the central mountains, you can see the shadow racing across the mountains. how much of the moon do we see? we see about 5996. how does that work? if the moon had a proper circular orbit, it rotates at the same speed as it goes round, 27 days to go around the earth and 27 days to go around the earth and 27 days to go around the earth and 27 days to rotate. if it had a perfectly circular orbit it would go at the same speed all the time, but because it is slightly elliptical, it speeds up and slows down. we're seeing pictures from nasa of the moon phases for 2017 — can you explain what this is? well, because the moon is going around the earth, the moon is going around the earth, the sun is the only proper light source in the solar system. so, when the moon is between us and the sun, we see the dark side. when it goes around the side of us, we see it as around the side of us, we see it as a phase. when it goes round to the other side we see a full moon. why do we need a special day to observe the moon? i think this was set up to push the moon and astronomy and science in general, to get people questioning what is up there and learning about science. do you think people don't care enough about it? one thing! people don't care enough about it? one thing i said earlier to someone is, i actually don't like the moon in some respects because i like looking at little faint things, sometimes the moon lights the sky up sometimes the moon lights the sky up so much you can't see the faint stuff! but in general i love it. what got you interested in it? stuff! but in general i love it. what got you interested in mm was at college when somebody drew the constellation orion on a napkin in the refectory and i thought, how did you do that, just draw it by hand?! and then i started going out that night and looking for it and then i got a telescope and started looking at different objects. can you just explain how you know where the moon is positioned in relation to us? if you think you're sitting on the earth and the moon goes round the earth and it goes between us and the earth and it goes between us and the sun, and at that time we can only see the dark side. when it is off to one side of us we can see half the moon, because it's at 90 degrees. and then when it gets round to the back of us, we're looking towards the moon with the sun at our back so it gets licked more and more until you get a full moon. lam i am totally going to look at the moon differently now. do you ever see a face in the moon?” moon differently now. do you ever see a face in the moon? i see all sorts of things, crab's claw... crab's craw? yes. how big is the see of true quality? i think it's something like half the size of america. slum not entirely sure. something like half the size of america. slum not entirely surem has been up as you talking to you. coming up before ten o'clock this morning... i get to my birthday, and for me, that's a really difficult date, because i think it's another yearin date, because i think it's another year in bed.
