street, slipping in places like this. i was used to it. —— sleeping in places like this. will talk to bradley grimes, 23, in the next hour. and the ashes — one of sport's greatest rivalries — is under way in australia. it's been a topsy turvy opening day — england grateful for their top scorerjames vince, who looked to be on his way to scoring a century, before being spectacularly run out. we will speak to england and australian fans just before ten o'clock. good morning, welcome to the programme, we are live until 11 o'clock as we are easily today. —— as we are each weekday. let us know what you think of the chancellor's budget yesterday and how you think it might affect you. plus, scottish labour politician kezia dugdale arrives in the jungle, but should be appearing in i'm a celebrity in the first place? she is a member of the scottish parliament, she was the leader of labour in scotland until she stepped down earlier this year. is it okay for her to take 3 weeks leave and appear in i'm a celeb down under? she argues she can cut straight through and talk directly to the tv audience about politics — that's if the producers decided to keep those conversations in. she's says she's donating some of her fee to charity, as well as her wages for those 3 weeks to charity. should she be there at all, is it a goodidea? should she be there at all, is it a good idea? let me know. use the hashtag victoria live. the chancellor ‘s colleagues have rallied around him as he presented the budget, some of it overshadowed by forecasts for gloomier than expected economic growth from the office for budget responsibility. the chancellor says productivity is key. the challenge is to deliver higher productivity that will lead to higher economic growth. is about the workforce with more skills, investing capital in our businesses, building will infrastructure, more infrastructure, more roads, more ra i lwa ys infrastructure, more roads, more railways and it is about ensuring that we have business confidence so that we have business confidence so that businesses will invest. that means getting more certainty about what our future relationship with the eu will look like, which we hope we will be able to do soon, it means getting consumers feeling more confident about the future so they spend, all of these things we need to do over the coming months and yea rs, to do over the coming months and years, and get those forecasts upgraded again. that's the challenge ahead of us. meanwhile shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell says the best way to improve productivity is to make sure you have a skilled workforce. cuts in education is the last thing you do when you want to raise people's skills and tackle the productivity crisis. what i would do immediately and that's what we put out in our manifesto programme, is start that investment off. but bring together a new investment board with the bank of england, the treasury, trade union leaders, business leaders investing in the putative economy, rather than property speculation that has gone on and this government. that would have quick returns as well because immediately you are putting people back to work, immediately then they are paying taxes, which will enable us are paying taxes, which will enable us to have a fair tax system which will pay for our public services. i am really worried now that the government doesn't seem to have learned any lessons from what the obr and others are saying about this failure to invest and therefore failure to invest and therefore failure to invest and therefore failure to tackle our productivity crisis. our political guru norman smith is in westminster for us this morning. has philip hammond done enough to save hisjob? has philip hammond done enough to save his job? we will all have to rethink our views on him because week or thought of him as phillip the dull, spreadsheet phil, and there he was joking about michael gove and we had that cough sweet stu nt gove and we had that cough sweet stunt with mrs may, and in terms of the real pressure he was under he seemed to go around picking of all the difficulties that he and the tories were facing, putting on a bit more money here and a bit more money there so the image is boss has said, i need £4 billion and he says, here is £2.8 billion, that will help you along. we knew there was a looming revolt of the universal credit so out of his back pocket there's another £i.5 out of his back pocket there's another £1.5 million to ease some of the problems. brexiteers throwing bread rolls at him, he says nice things about brexit and offers them £2 billion to help smooth passage, business community, they weren't happy about changes to business rates and vat, sorted. he listens to them. and everywhere, there have been a real revolt. he found a way of just taking the been a real revolt. he found a way ofjust taking the heat out of it with a bit more cash. and i think, not just easing with a bit more cash. and i think, notjust easing the pressure on him, but also buying the government some breathing space. labour say that britain is still facing years of austerity. are they right. they are right in the sense that what we learned yesterday is that as a country we are going to have to get used to the fact that the pressure on our living standards, on wages, on our living standards, on wages, on public services, is going to go on public services, is going to go on foran on public services, is going to go on for an awful lot longer. the reason is that we are just not as productive as we used to be. there will be a lot of political finger pointing about who is to blame for this. but it seems to me there are profound changes going on which any politician will struggle with. so the obr say that one of the difficulties is immigration. because there will be a steep fall in the number of migrants coming into the uk, especially brighter, younger, more skills, more intelligent migrants from the eu that is going to hit production. at the same time we're all getting older, we becoming an ageing population which means we will cost more in terms of the health service and benefits. and those of us working, we are already working longer, doing two or three jobs to make up for the squeeze on living standards. which makes it harder to be more productive. so the long—term picture is a pretty sobering one. but i kind of think it would face whoever is in power. we face an era when we mightjust have to tone down our expectations and the prospects for our living standards. thank you, norman.

the country to unite. in a speech to a cheering crowd he praised the army for removing president robert mugabe peacefully. mr mnangagwa, who will be sworn in as president tomorrow, said zimbabwe was experiencing a new democracy — and his priority was to rebuild its economy. the argentine navy is investigating reports of a sound heard a few hours after it lost contact with one of its submarines a week ago in the south atlantic. there are concerns that the 44 crew on board the sanjuan submarine could be running low on oxygen. an raf aircraft has landed in argentina to help with the search. a former doctorfor the us gymnastics team has pleaded guilty to sexual assaults against women and girls in his care. lawrence nassar was accused of molesting dozens of female athletes — including three olympic gold medallists — while he was working for both the national team and a university. more than 70 people had to be rescued overnight after flooding across lancashire. people in lancaster and morecambe were among those affected. the fire service said it received more than 400 calls and helped evacuate 20 horses that had become trapped. there are currently 13 flood warnings in place across lancashire and neighbouring cumbria. one resident told us how her home was affected. went to work today, thought little of it, came home and thought, right, it's pretty high, it's still going to keep on raining all night, we had better start moving some stuff out of the way. and itjust came in faster and faster and faster and there came a point where we were bucketing it out, bailing it out. we had pumps going. it came a point where it was bucket versus river and the river won. new research suggests that drinking a moderate amount of coffee is unlikely to be harmful to health, except for pregnant women. the study, published in the british medicaljournal, found coffee drinkers had a lower risk of liver disease and some cancers, and a lower risk of dying from stroke — but researchers could not prove coffee was the cause. helen briggs reports. a morning caffeine fix. for many of us, the only way to start the day. but it has long been debated whether that cup of coffee is good or bad for you. i think any more than two cups of coffee kind of accelerates the stress a bit more so i draw the line at two. i feel like most things are good in moderation and if you drink good coffee, then it should be good for your health. to try to find the answer, doctors at the university of southampton sifted through 200 studies, looking at how coffee affects the body. they say the benefits of drinking 3—4 cups a day outweigh the risks for most people and could lead to a lower likelihood of developing heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. although pregnant women and those at risk of fractures are still advised to steer clear. is an important message ourfindings is that people only drinking a couple of cups a day, but we don't think that people who don't drink any copy should start nor should people try to reach a certain target. and researchers say further studies are required before drinking coffee to fight disease can be recommended, not least because it's often accompanied by cream, sugary syrup or cake. helen briggs, bbc news. home broadband providers must soon ensure that at least 50% of their customers can achieve advertised speeds at peak time, under a crackdown to prevent misleading claims. at the moment, firms are allowed to advertise "up to" speeds as long as they are available to a minimum of 10% of customers. the committee of advertising

labour leader kezia dugdale heads in to the jungle tonight. she's the latest addition to itv‘s i'm a celebrity...get me out of here. the msp says she hopes to appeal to young voters. but she has admitted some of her political colleagues would be shocked and angry at her appearance on the reality tv show. that is a summary of the latest bbc news, moore at 9:30am. back to your victoria, hope

she is a great politician in scotland, i hope she wins. she is donating some of herfee she wins. she is donating some of her fee to charity. she is donating all of her wages for the three weeks's leave that she is taking, to charity. she says it is a way to cut through to people, it has been done before, nadine tories did it when she was a tory mp, she went into the jungle. george galloway, edwina currie, all sorts of people. edwina currie, all sorts of people. edwina currie wasn't a politician when she did strictly, was she. your view please. let's get some sport now. finally the ashes series has begun! yes, the talk is over, the 2017 ashes and away. the first one was difficult to gauge much fun, england hoping to retain the trophy of course. they were taking on australia at a ground where australia at a ground where australia haven't been beaten in almost 30 years in a test. england won toss and decided to bat. they lost alastair cook for only two runs but his replacement james lost alastair cook for only two runs but his replacementjames vince did a greatjob at number three with a very classy 83. that was before he was brilliantly run out by lyon, despite that, james vince says he has answered some of his doubters, questions were asked about his form. mark stoneman made a half—century. captainjoe mark stoneman made a half—century. captain joe root was trapped mark stoneman made a half—century. captainjoe root was trapped lbw mark stoneman made a half—century. captain joe root was trapped lbw for only 15. dawid malan also impressed, he showed he was confident, scoring a quickfire 28 not out before the close, which came with the light fading in brisbane. australia captain steve smith wasn't happy, it was only three deliveries after he'd taken it the new ball. england will be content with the first day, they are 196—4 after their first innings. lets get some runs early, conditions are bit different to what we expected, but a huge and paycheque at the start of the day, onto the bat better as the day went on. —— not a huge amount of pace in it. i think the money will be crucial if we get through the first hour, get towards a big score. they bowled pretty well and deserved something from the day. it is a bit disappointing, matter what score a batsman gets you always want more. it would have been mice at the end of the day but stuff like that happens in cricket. he didn't take any wickets but only conceded 40 runs, kevin pietersen said he would have preferred to see him imposing self a little bit more. that fielding was absolutely outstanding. right, champions league, couple of defeats for british clubs? yes, more champions league action last night, three more british clubs playing, the penultimate set of group games, manchester united beaten 1—0 in switzerland, despite having the lion's share of play against fc barcelona. they are top of group a, qualification not secured, the side needing a draw from the final group game at home to cska moscow in order to reach the knockout stages as the group winners you would still make them favoured. they have to be better in front of goal, unlucky. jose mourinho wasn't pleased, he claimed they could have scored five or six goals by half—time, the late winner coming from fc baseljust before the end of the game. winner coming from fc baseljust before the end of the gamelj winner coming from fc baseljust before the end of the game. i think we play a match like this ten times and out of we win comfortable, we lose in the other one. the one game was now. i can hear lose in the other one. the one game was now. i can hear a lose in the other one. the one game was now. i can hear a few years ago with chelsea, we lost in the last minute but in that match i don't think we had one shot on target, we played really bad. today was not the case. his former club chelsea had no issues in front of goal last night, willie aaron scoring, antonio conte's side, for a top of the group, but moaning scheduling as they face liverpool on saturday following this 5000 mile round trip. iam sure following this 5000 mile round trip. i am sure celtic would walk 5000 miles to reach the europa league, they took an early lead away to psg but were dismantled on the night losing 7—1. brendan rodgers side note a draw in their final game will mean they continue in the second tier. your professional pride is hurt and people who don't watch the game, see the score, they think, 7-1, game, see the score, they think, 7—1, what i can take from the game is there is enough positive momentum and we have been together for a period of time and we are realistic enough and humble enough when we win, you have to be honest when you lose and then you move on to your next game. england are through to the semifinals of the women's hockey world league final in new zealand beatin world league final in new zealand beat in the united states to happen once in auckland, the second when the tournament, eight of the squad that won olympic gold last summer, sophie gray scoring both goals, they will now play new zealand for a spot in the final. that's all your support. we'll be back with more later. thank you. it is 18 minutes past nine. more comments from you about whether kezia doug dealt should appear in the programme i'm a celebrity, you saw her briefly last night, avril says i think it's a disgrace that a current serving msp should go a wall, she should be back in the uk, fighting the cause is. she still being paid from the public purse, scottish labour party is to show the bishop in suspending her. ryan show the bishop in suspending her. rya n says show the bishop in suspending her. ryan says on twitter when you fail at the dayjob it's nice to have a little earner down under. let me know your views. he's been homeless for most of his adult life, has autism and has the mental age of a child. bradley grimes is a 23—year—old man from middlesbrough whose situation became so desperate, that he stood up in court and asked a judge to send him to prison. the judge took pity on him and activated a suspended prison sentence he'd been given for sleeping in shop doorways and a knife offence. thejudge made sure he had accommodation before he was allowed out ofjail. bradley grimes has been given chances before — with accommodation and social services — and he's made mistakes. but generally, he says he's been let down by the system, and the judge agreed. we met up with bradley grimes just after he was released from prison. i've got a brain tumour on my head and suffer with epilepsy and heart murmur. i've also got autism, asperger‘s and the mental age of a young child. i was in care from the age of ten, 11 years old until i was 17 and a half. i was straight on the streets when i came out. just around here, this is where i used to sleep, here. most of the night i was on the street, sleeping in places like this. i got used to it sort of thing. i was trying to go to the council and citizens advice and other places but they kept on sending me from one place to the other and i ended up going round in circles through all the different agencies. i was using a substantial amount of drugs, yeah, just to take my mind off things. this is the alleyway where where i used to sit. i used to sit in the middle so it was away from the shops. just asking people for money. basically, all they've done is placed an anti—social behaviour order on me to try to stop me from begging. but i have to in order to survive. yeah, i used to sit down here like this. just sit on the floor here. what happened? well, cctv picks you up and they dispatch either the police or the street wardens. if the police come, you're arrested. it got to the stage where they were locking me up once or twice a day for a period of a few months and i was in pretty much all weekend nearly enough every weekend. for doing what? just for basically sitting outside a shop. i can't even sit on a public bench without getting locked up. i have to keep moving. ijust basically went in and asked the judge to send me down until they could get appropriate accommodation for me. that's the last option i had, what i could think of. even the judge in court said that they shouldn't be giving homeless people criminal behaviour orders, they should be helping them. what are you going to do? i'm in the same situation myself, just been released from prison with nowhere to go. i went to the middlesbrough council, there's nothing here for you, there's nothing we can do for you, you know what i mean? there's no help round here for no one. i know, like for yourself, you know that yourself, don't you? yeah. and i have spoke to you in the past as well, haven't i, about a few things. they don't do nothing. they turned round and said, because of my history, that's why they can't get me nowhere. what's your history? there's been robberies and that, you know. but that was when, back in the day. yeah, probation refused to help me with an address until i was in prison. yeah, but i've been in prison... basically, like, you put yourself right, get yourself off drugs but unless they get you somewhere you might have a slip—up every now and again and like you're back to square one. and all the police do is arrest you for trying to look after yourself. exactly, there you go, he'sjust said it for himself. he has to beg because he's got nowhere to live and he has to beg for food and that. look what's happened. he has to send himself to jail! is life easier in prison? i thought it was, yeah. why? you don't have to worry about nothing in there, no bills, nothing. can't you go to the council and speak to a social worker or someone like that? i put infora rapid reclaim. do that, you might get some benefits from them. or go to probation. they'll send you to the food bank. you don't want to be coming back to here, it's terrible round here. just stay off your drugs and you'll be laughing. all right. i've got the mental age of a ten—year—old. it's impossible for me to cope on my own because i'm bad with things like budget and money. i'm clean, i haven't used since i've been out and i am struggling because, even though i'm starting to get help now, i still don't think it's enough. i would like to move out of middlesbrough completely. maybe just go to durham, northallerton way, live down there. i think if i could do that, i could guarantee myself, change even more and guarantee to stay off drugs. we did ask to speak to middlesbrough council but they've not responded. we have heard from the durham tees valley probation service who told us they provide every prison leaver with a support service targeted around their specific needs: "this can include accommodation, employability, finance really interesting e—mail from howard who is a sitting magistrate and has been for 18 years and watched the film, he said i can assure you requests to be imprisoned during court proceedings are very common, this must have happened to me 50 or more times, some who request it are drug addicts who feel it's the only way to kick the habit but the majority are homeless people who are usually in for shoplifting. it's more prevalent in winter because of the weather but especially noticeable immediately before christmas. jean on facebook says what a country we have become. this lad and thousands like him hounded and penalised effectively for dry to stay alive, i am more ashamed of my country daily. karen says this is the result of a broken, forgotten and disconnected society, state raised kids governed by box ticking, if they don't want to live on the streets they often feel forced into the army or prison, both give them a family of sorts and routine. gavin on facebook is not sympathetic, says this poor lad in inverted commas wants to fill his pockets with our taxes. christopher middlesbrough says it's a sad situation, baking becoming more coming but what confuses me, the council finding housing for asylum seekers well documented in the media, we've reported by bad on our programme yet these local folk are struggling and getting locked up just for begging. surely it's better all round to house them? thank you for those, keep them coming in. all round to house them? thank you forthose, keep them coming in. in the next 30 minutes... we talk to mps about whether yesterday's budget has done enough — amid predictions of an economic slowdown. let us know your views. we'll get the latest from the first ashes test in brisbane, from this kangaroo. time for the latest news — here's annita. the bbc news headlines this morning. conservative mps have rallied around the chancellor after his budget was overshadowed by a gloomier than expected forecast for economic growth. philip hammond announced a series of spending and tax measures amounting to £25 billion. he won cautious praise for providing extra money for the nhs, housebuilding and brexit. the chancellor says his budget has delivered "a package for britain" and for families who are feeling the pressure. however, labour say mr hammond failed to address the squeeze on household incomes. the new leader of zimbabwe, emmerson mnangagwa, has urged the country to unite. in a speech to a cheering crowd he praised the army for removing president robert mugabe peacefully. mr mnangagwa, who will be sworn in as president tomorrow, said zimbabwe was experiencing a new democracy — and his priority is to rebuild its economy. the argentine navy is investigating reports of a

about kezia dugdale in i'm a celebrity get me out of here, saying it feels more like an attempted exposure, yet she has a job to do here. another viewers says that she sees herself as another ed balls, and imagines she will be on strictly next year. she knows she doesn't have much time left in the party, he says. dave says, referring to conservative mps, we should have a go at them as well. another viewers says that she is not a celebrity, she is a politician, she should not get paid that when some in the uk can't even eat, maybe some of her salary could go to a homeless project. she says that her fee from the programme, part of it, is going to charity and part of her three weeks leave wages are also going to charity. now the latest sport with hugh. england ending the opening day of the ashes with four wickets gone, james vince. scorer on 83, mark stoneman made half—century as england made a steady start at the gabba stadium. joe root was that her 15, alastair cook for only

semifinals of the women's hockey world league final tomorrow, they beat the united states 2—1 in auckland this morning. we'll be back with more after ten. thank you. the chancellor philip hammond lives to fight another day after his budget yesterday, where amongst a raft of headline spends on housing, the nhs, and brexit, he had to downgrade the uk's growth forecast for the next few years. it's been cautiously welcomed by conservative mps calling it ‘solid and commonsense'. but the labour leaderjeremy corbyn warned it would cause "misery" for people across the country. housing was the showstopper with the announcement that stamp duty would be scrapped for first time buyers — on homes worth up to £300,000 in england, wales and northern ireland. he promised more cash for the nhs in england — an extra £2.8 billion over the next three years. and he said that nurses would get extra pay — if their pay bodies recommend it. he also set aside £3 billion in case there's no deal on brexit. and pledged help for people moving on to universal credit. duties for beer, wine, spirits and petrol will be frozen. but there'll be an increase for white cider, from 2019. the cut in stamp duty will save most first time buyers up to £5,000. but some have told the bbc that house prices are so high, they can't even think about owning their own home, forcing the chancellor to defend the policy. well, the average first—time buyer price is below £300,000, that's absolutely right, and if somebody buys a property for less than £300,000 they will pay no stamp duty on it and i think that's a very helpful additional incentive to people who are saving a property. when you buy your first home, you need to accumulate quite a bit of cash to pay for the deposit, to pay for the stamp duty, to pay for the legal fees, and hopefully, by abolishing stamp duty which will save the average first—time buyer about £1700, that will be a help and an incentive to focus on getting the deposit together, getting the money together to get on the housing ladder and we hope that many more young people will be able to get on the housing ladder. his labour shadowjohn mcdonnell told the bbc this morning that he believes the budget willl do nothing forfamilies. i don't see where he's helped families at all. if you look, if he's referring to universal credit, what he did yesterday if he gave people £1 and took £10 off them. if he's referring to families who are concerned about the education of their children, there is virtually nothing there to tackle the budget cuts that are going through our schools. and if he's talking about health, the chief executive of the health service asked for £4 million, he's got just over half of that, but nowhere near the amount he needs so we are facing another winter crisis in the nhs. ijust think, it demonstrates to me how cut off from the real lives of people the chancellor is. let's talk now to labour mp alison mcgovern who sits on the treasury select committee, conservative mp kwasi kwarteng and mp kirsty blackman who is the snp's expert on economics. welcome to you all, thank you for coming on the programme. mr kwarteng, was this the game changing budget ledger party needed and desired. i think it's a solid budget, it has things that people find attractive and it puts us and a good place. contrast it with what john mcdonnell and others say. this budget was wholly coherent. the attacks from labour seem incoherent to me. it's clear that £5,000 is a huge gift forfirst—time to me. it's clear that £5,000 is a huge gift for first—time buyers and any increase in house prices will be more than offset by the stamp duty abolition. i think that is a good policy, there's lots more money for the nhs. the brexit provision, he isn't spending the money but he's said at the side. you don't sound very enthusiastic. i am but i'm trying to become and measured. i think it was a very good budget. the cut to stamp duty. up to £5,000, that's an amazing amount of money and will have a lot of first—time buyers come you must be delighted. if iraq absolutely not. just wait a second, look at what the obr said yesterday, they say it will increase house prices are the people to whom this benefit will go is people who already own homes. ok. this means first—time buyers won't get any help from this. and we know that helped by has had a similar impact. more prompting of demand in the housing market and if you look at the detail there's not much new money going into supply. we desperately need to upgrade housing so we have more homes forfamilies upgrade housing so we have more homes for families and we have places in the south—east where we have new towns that needs to grow, there isn't really any action on that. it's not the case that people have had the situation made easier for them. do you agree it is only of benefit to people who own homes? i'm sorry, but the obr figure was 0.3%. it doesn't take einstein to work out that... that was the figure, that is what rachel reeves said. she is a colleague of alison's and she said that in the house of commons yesterday, 0.3%. anyone with basic maths will know that 0.3% of £300,000 is much less than the £5,000... the £300,000 is much less than the £5,000. .. the obr £300,000 is much less than the £5,000... the obr also £300,000 is much less than the £5,000. .. the obr also said this policy will only lead to the purchase of an additional three and 4000 homes a year. the obr figure also suggested, the model was based on the idea that they will be building any more houses. you pulled a face. three and a half thousand more houses for the whole of england and wales is not many more that people will be able to buy. we are committed to a much more progressive tax system so people at the bottom pay less tax than those of the top pay less tax than those of the top pay a bit more. over the first two years that we have had our stamp duty, 93% of people buying a house, £40,000 or more have paid less in scotland than they would have in england. we've taken a look at this, which is i think a better way to do it. the chancellor takes things, takes income tax, takes stamp duty rather than looking up the whole syste m rather than looking up the whole system and making changes to make the whole system better.|j completely disagree with what kwasi says about the obr analysis. they says about the obr analysis. they say first—time buyers won't see the benefit, that's the end of it, as faras benefit, that's the end of it, as far as concerned, it's not a good policy. secondly, if you ask potential home— buyers what policy. secondly, if you ask potential home—buyers what they need it to be able to say the deposit. and what the chancellor did yesterday was come he spent more trying to keep down the price of alcohol than he did giving people a boost in their pay and trying to tackle child poverty. if we look at what will help people buy homes it's making sure incomes are at a level where they can say, and he did absolutely nothing, yesterday, to help. there was promised to look at mrs's pay if reforms were undertaken. i don't think that's true. if you look at the personal allowa nce, true. if you look at the personal allowance, the amount you get before you have to pay tax, yesterday it has increased from £11,500 to £11,850. a considerable amount of money, an extra £350 per pupil on the lowest pay which they can earn without paying tax, a significant increase of the government has been doing for the seven years. explain to me why a child poverty, over the course of this period, will go up by 400,000 kids by the end of this budget period. if your assertion that the personal allowance is what matters, why will not not happen in this country, you comfortable with that level of child poverty? know but when i see labour politicians blaming the chancellor because they think he stole their policy on stamp duty, i haven't read the labour ma nifesto, duty, i haven't read the labour manifesto, i don't know what is in and butjeremy manifesto, i don't know what is in and but jeremy corbyn manifesto, i don't know what is in and butjeremy corbyn yesterday said the stamp duty policy is taken from the stamp duty policy is taken from the labour manifesto. and on the other hand you had labour criticising it. when this budget the opposition has to find something to criticise... business and opposition politicians, this is the obr, which george osborne setup to make sure we had independent analysis... get stuck about universal credit, one of the biggest issues for our audience, business money enough to sort it out, kirsty? the chancellor didn't tackled the structural issues he's going to reduce the waiting time which, all welcome, is still a five—week wait which people will have about anything. we have seen food bank is increasing over the time the tories have been in government, to over a million food banks... what can be done? they've put universal credit in as a money—saving measure. people will get less benefit. people having a third child don't get benefits for that child. that has led to more people getting into work and staying in work longer, what would you do in government? we have seen increases in in — work poverty. there hasn't beena in in — work poverty. there hasn't been a decade of stagnation like this. if you ask people in work, what we would do is increase the minimum wage to a living wage. we would ensure people had the money they could spend. we would have measures in place to tackle inflation. inflation has gone crazy thanks to brexit. and we would not pursue brexit. we've also increased the minimum wage, but something we did in the budget. that's basically why child poverty has increased. you describe this £3 billion put aside by the chancellor to cope with their is a no deal brexit as a joke, why? the problem with the brakes of money is that it's way more than the chancellor committed to the nhs. we we re chancellor committed to the nhs. we were told by the brexiteers exit would be great, we will have 350 million quid a week for the nhs and all i can see so far is the cost of the thing and we are getting little benefit. you accept the brexit is costing this country a lot of money, 40 billion plus 3 billion? it's being set aside, it's not actually a cost. i'd be. if there is no deal at my be but it's not a guaranteed. in terms of brexit i was for brexit, i think in the long term... how long is the long—term, how long do we have to wait? i don't want to read litigate the brexit the brexit argument, i'm bored with that. i think is responsible for the government to plan for no deal, if you go into any negotiation you plan for either outcome. very briefly, compared to the issues we have been discussing i appreciate it's not up there in terms of importance but as a politician's personal decision to go into i'm a celebrity, kezia doug dell, a labour colleague of yours in scotla nd dell, a labour colleague of yours in scotland what do you think of what she no, people take their own view about these things, politicians go on different telly programmes, ed balls went on strictly. he wasn't a politician. that is true, if her constituents want to ask her about it and talk about it that is fine andi it and talk about it that is fine and i understand that but i think... do you think she should be suspended? i think she's trying to reach out and owen on a big telly programme is a way... this is what she had disabled stop first and foremost it's a huge uk wide tell but television per gram of an audience into the millions on the think it's an opportunity to talk to young people about politics and labour values. the first time i was approached to do this i said no, i turned it down because i didn't think i could be away from myjob for over five weeks, the show came back to me and asked me if i could go away for three weeks and two days and that is what i am going to do. what do you think? i would not have done it, because parliament is sitting in scotland just now, she's missing votes, important debates. she says it'sjust leap. it's not a choice i would take. would you ever do that? i never would but i won't criticise people who do, nadine dorries did it, it's a good way of communicating to people. elaine says, mission accomplished because everybody is taking notice of you! we are in the publicity business, as a politician you have to get your message out there and i won't criticise a politician. you don't wa nt to criticise a politician. you don't want to dumb down politics but you have to reach out to people, how do you square that circle? thank you all for coming on the programme. more than 70 people had to be rescued overnight after flooding more than 70 people had to be rescued overnight afterflooding in like a rescued overnight afterflooding in likea sure, rescued overnight afterflooding in like a sure, we talked to some of those in the worst affected areas. the ashes — one of sport's greatest rivalries — is under way. the opening test is at the gabba, in brisbane, where australia haven't lost a test for 29 years — and where england haven't won since 1986. play ended just over an hour ago and england were 196—4. isabelle westbury is a former professional cricketer, now a commentator. luke gillian is an australian cricket fan living in the uk — he's travelled all over the world to support his team. at lords is adam sofroniou, an england cricket fan who stayed up all night to watch the first day of play at a special event for fans organised by the cricket charity chance to shine. and with him is ernie the urn, the ashes mascot who lives at lords. we've been up all night, for the night of the museum, great fun. i'll ask you more about that in a second, i can't help feel slightly disappointed when i see that, it's so looming small. and in australia is carl teusner, australian cricket fan known as "the travelling roo". he followed the australian team around for the cricket world cup dressed as a kangaroo. michael hennessy is in brisbane — he's founder of the richies, who are a group of australian cricket fans marvellous to talk to you! and also in brisbane are their rivals the barmy army. they're a group of england cricket fans. billy cooper — also known as billy the trumpet is one of them. hello, everybody. obviously, let me start with you billy, how do you assess how england did on the first day? all in all, not bad at all. a dodgy start but it went well, australia fought back but i would ta ke australia fought back but i would take that all in all. cook was out, 2-1, did take that all in all. cook was out, 2—1, did you think, here we go ain? 2—1, did you think, here we go again? yes, we are used to that as england fans, england collapsed many times over the years but i think there's a bit more about this team and the australians are not that strong, a bit of optimism going around, we think this time we have a good chance. we will see, michael, described the rich cheese for us. we have marvellous examples, we are here to honour richie benaud, the great australian cricket captain and commentator, the voice of cricket in england and australia. we'd heard so much about the australian attack, they did pretty well but they weren't the horror show that england fa ns were weren't the horror show that england fans were perhaps expect? yes, it's a shame, isn't it? we were hoping for 8—190, pretty evenly poised like billy said, on a knife edge. england have done pretty well, the lions looking pretty good, ali always strong. tomorrow will be a big day, could change the course of this match. isabel, i want could change the course of this match. isabel, iwant to could change the course of this match. isabel, i want to ask you about james spence, run match. isabel, i want to ask you aboutjames spence, run out, batting brilliantly, his first ashes test match. 83 he runs himself out, as a former player what's it like when you make that decision, there is a slight risk that you are not bad for away from a centre, toggle through it. it's agony, type run, you have to give it to the feeding, incredible, inspired by nathan lying, unfortunately for the english he was chatting a lot, had a chat with stone man in the middle, opt for it, picked up the ball beautifully, one shot at the stance and he knew it, things like that happen, it's annoying, agonising for events not to get his maiden century but a maiden half—century on ashes day, not bad. a brilliant piece of fielding, wasn't it? i believe so, i never saw it. what will you doing? like many people, sleeping. why have we put two? 196... it could have been a lot worse, i tell you. yes, we could have been all out for 196, would have been much betterfor me. did you have the radio 1? yes. and you are did you have the radio 1? yes. and you a re mostly did you have the radio 1? yes. and you are mostly sleeping. there was a rain delay as well. i know. the time difference... and i had to be up early! don't we all, make? but you weren't watching the whole thing. i've got the radio 1. adam... tell us i've got the radio 1. adam... tell us about the atmosphere when you are all watching the england performance and as we note with test match cricket, the pendulum swings one way and then the other, you must have been a bit glum and alastair cook was out. absolutely, we thought we we re was out. absolutely, we thought we were in fora was out. absolutely, we thought we were in for a very long night but fortunately it's great to see vince and the others make some great runs, played themselves little bit disheartened by the rain break. i snuck off for a quick 40 winks, we we re snuck off for a quick 40 winks, we were powered through the night by tea and coffee. the new england boys did well, didn't they? they were really did, really impressed, great to see them stand up and make their mark. a lot of people questioning them but they played so nicely, scored runs, great cover drives, brilliant. let me bring in karl, talk us through your outfit. how are you? really well, talk us through your outfit, let's see it, at the moment we can just see... can you see that? you go around dressed like that? yes, i went to 16 games dressed as a kangaroo, across australia and new zealand, i became a bit famous during the world cup. what kind of reaction do you get from the crowd ? what kind of reaction do you get from the crowd? i tell you what, the subcontinent fans love that, two hours after each game i get asked for a selfies, they absolutely love it. how hot is it inside? right now it's not too bad, you want to watch the united arab emirates play in brisbane, that was sobbing. i was dehydrated after that. typically, not too bad. billy, let me come back to you, i don't want to use the word banter, it's been a bit used and not very nice terms but in terms of the relationship between billy, the barmy army and the australian cricket fans, what's that like? barmy army and the australian cricket fans, what's that like ?|j think cricket fans, what's that like?” think on the whole, we have a lot of fun supporting our team, the aussies area fun supporting our team, the aussies are a mixed bunch, some of them have fun, some of them maybe not quite so fun, some of them maybe not quite so fun loving but we look forward to getting together with the richies, we are looking forward to that, we will see what they have got, added to the atmosphere, see what they have got. michael, how do you think this series will play out of them?” think it's going to be really competitive. both teams are very close, australia have the home advantage, both the new players for england, they could rise to the occasion and vince has done well in that regard. 0r occasion and vince has done well in that regard. or they could crumble, we will see what tomorrow and the next couple of days hold but a lot of pressure on england, the english fans aren't really known for their optimism, we will see, we are not sure how long they will keep their chins up. laughter isabel, what's it like for a player, a new player, when you step up to play honour to represent your country? they won't have felt anything like it, the ashes, the pinnacle, since 1882, the history, the tradition, i think as well a similar culture between england and australia, there is nothing that can top that. are you going to be listening tonight?” nothing that can top that. are you going to be listening tonight? i had a good nights sleep so i should be up a good nights sleep so i should be upa bit a good nights sleep so i should be up a bit later tonight. australia should be batting. i was expecting them to bad. we will see, thanks all of you, i appreciate your time. news and sport in a moment that here is the weather. many of us noticing it's not cold this

now underway. the first day was a difficult one to gauge the players feeling their way into this series, it will be huge, england hoping to retain the ashes. they faced australia in the first test at the gabba, where australia haven't lost ina gabba, where australia haven't lost in a test for almost 30 years. england won toss and batted but not a great start, they lost alastair cook firmly two runs. james vince came in next and did a greatjob, composed 83 stealing the headlines before this brilliant run out by nathan lyon. despite that moment, james vince says he has answered some of his doubters. mark stoneman made half—century low captain joe root will be disappointed, trapped lbw and only 15. dawid malan impressed with a quickfire 28 not out before the close which came with the fading light in brisbane. australian captain steve smith wasn't happy, only three deliveries after he took the new ball the players were off. england ended on 196-4 in players were off. england ended on 196—4 in theirfirst players were off. england ended on 196—4 in their first innings, they will be content. good to get runs only, conditions are bit different to expected, there wasn't a huge amount of pace in it for the start of the day, it got better as the day went on. they bowled quite well, didn't give us they bowled quite well, didn't give usa they bowled quite well, didn't give us a lot, i think the morning is crucial, if we can get through the first hour and edge our we to the first... it was a good pick—up, he bowled pretty well and deserved something. disappointing, no matter what score a batsman gets he always wa nts what score a batsman gets he always wants more. it would have been nice at the end of the day but stuff like that happens in cricket. keep up—to—date with

more than 70 people have been moved from their homes in lancashire, after heavy rain caused disruption across the county. there are currently 8 flood warnings across the region and 33 flood alerts. last night 27 people were evacuated from their homes in galgate in lancashire as the waters rose and we spoke to some of them. went to work today, thought little of it, came back, thought it is pretty high, it rain night, let's move stuff out of the way. it came in faster and faster, at one point we we re in faster and faster, at one point we were bucketing it out, we had pumps going. there came a point when it was bucket versus river and the river won. and it is now like this. i've lifted as much as i can from the ground floor but there are bikes there, my cooker has gone, my boiler, my washing machine, my dishwasher everything. the water has gone over the top of the window, flooding the side of the door, this huge flood of water coming through into the kitchen. i was waiting around in the kitchen up to my waist trying to get all the electrical things and what have you, all my academic work, i'm a student, it's been ruined, but lost the car keys so we been ruined, but lost the car keys so we had to get the car out of the way. in barrow in furness is amy fenton who works for the local newspaper and dickie felton who went to barrow in furness for an exhibition last night, and ended up having to stay because of the flooding. hello both of you, tell us the situation across the county. when the rain started yesterday morning it didn't take very long for it to start having an impact, it became apparent that there will be major disruption. a lot of major roads closed the a590 into cumbria, one of the main roads, trains cancelled. currently no trains between carlisle and lancaster and ca rlisle currently no trains between carlisle and lancaster and carlisle and maryport. they are bidding on replacement buses, clearly not a lot of those, the replacement buses they put on this morning were being sent along roads that were closed, people we re along roads that were closed, people were stranded. that's no good, is it? dickie, thank you forjoining us. it? dickie, thank you forjoining us. are you now? in a little village in south lakeland. i actually caught a replacement bus first thing today which took about two and a half hoursjust to get which took about two and a half hours just to get here, which took about two and a half hoursjust to get here, should normally be about half an hour journey, lots of flooding on the roads, lots of problems.” journey, lots of flooding on the roads, lots of problems. i can see the water levels behind you. which presumably is higher than normal. they are. if you can see right behind me, some deer stuck up on the bank. but yes, being a very difficult time, obviously i'd had minor inconvenience having to stay overnight in barrow but serious problems over the county. amy, in terms of cumbria and lancashire, have they got the right infrastructure to deal with flooding? absolutely not, i can't imagine there's a single person in cumbria but says that do, we first started getting significant flooding here in 2009, back then everyone was saying we need to learn our lessons, do something and improve flood defences and clearly not enough has been done. a lot of the fear in cumbria, we get neglected and left behind. begs the question if this happened anywhere else or down south with the still be allowed to happen eight years on? i think there might be some in cornwall who say we haven't had the necessary after horrendous floods there but i totally ta ke horrendous floods there but i totally take your point. do you think cumbria gets forgotten?m does, absolutely, that's the perception of people who live here and consider the significance and loss of sound... the economy, we have sellafield, the proposed new nuclear power station. dickie, i think you moved to the area from liverpool, was at last year? yes, i ama liverpool, was at last year? yes, i am a city boy who moved up to the cumbrian landscape, i love that up here, it's brilliant. but one thing you have to take into account, the weather, can't get bad. i think the cumbrian people are very hardy and very used to it. yes, so it's very different to being in a big city. thank you very much, dickie. amy, what is the name of your newspaper? the mail and south cumbria? thank you so much for talking to us, amy fenton. and thank you to dickie as well. it's pretty much unheard of for four government committees to come together on one issue — so when they do, you know it mist be something important. it's all about air quality. the four are teaming up to scrutinise the government's plans to reduce the harmful effects of air pollution on public health and the environment. uk courts have twice ruled that the government's plans to cut air pollution were not good enough so the government released a new air quality plan. what's being done right now to make the air cleaner? joining us now, simon alcock is from clientearth, a group of environmental lawyers, which have won judgements in the supreme court against the government as they aim to bring air pollution down to legal levels. also professor paul monks, who is the chair of the air quality expert group which advises defra, and councillor anna richardson, city convener for sustainability and carbon reduction at glasgow city council, which has been named as one of the uk's worst cities for air pollution. hello, all of you. how much are we allowed to pollute, simon, legally? the limit at the moment is 40 mg per cubic metre of nitrogen dioxide, that's basically pollution from diesel cars, basically and road transport, when we are breaking the law on this it's 80% as road transport and the problem is, out of the 43 songs we measure this across the 43 songs we measure this across the country, 37 of them break the legal limits on this. how are they allowed to? we don't think the government is doing enough to get the dirtiest vehicles off the streets, basically. no one is enforcing it, is that effectively it? the moment this is european law, ultimately the european commission should enforce it but we've not waited for that, we've been taking them to cordon the court has done is them to cordon the court has done is the government to come up with policies to meet the limits. we have won two cases against the government, had been forced to come up government, had been forced to come up with new plans but unfortunately they are not quite what we need, we are going back to court again and the latest plans, passing the buck to the local authority and getting them to look into it when we know what is needed, got to take the sturdy vehicles off the streets and get on with it and help people switch to cleaner forms of transport. a defra spokesperson said: "air pollution has improved significantly since 2010, but we recognise there is more to do which is why we have put in place a £3 billion plan to improve air quality and reduce harmful emissions. "we will also end the sale of conventional new diesel and petrol cars and vans by 2040, and next year we will publish a comprehensive clean air strategy which will set out further steps to tackle air pollution." 2014 is too late. we will see a lot of these cars disappear, they made a move with this, they change the vehicle excise duty. cars 2040. the problem is most of them it's only 20 quid extra and that's not going to put off anyone. you have got to dean centre vice people, it is not their fault they are driving this car is, we have been encouraging them to drive them. what are the problems with air pollution, what does it do to us and the environment. it harms all our health, particularly children, it affects their lung development. we have a 13—week—old son borren four expenditure, in and out of hospital and some of the dirtiest roads in europe and it's pretty frightening thing you have to ta ke pretty frightening thing you have to take ina pretty frightening thing you have to take in a car to get there, go through those roads and we know it can through those roads and we know it ca n stu nt through those roads and we know it can stunt his lung growth, he may develop respiratory conditions, or likely to have asthma, in later life if you have a heart condition and can if you have a heart condition and ca n affect if you have a heart condition and can affect you as well. it's crazy, a scandal, in this day and age, the error we are breathing is harming our health. many people would agree with you, quite out we seeing people marching on the street, perhaps people don't care as much as you?” don't think people are as aware, when they realise what is going on, we start to see more and more people ca re we start to see more and more people care and as you say, it's rising up the agenda, we discussed it on programmes like this and we have a committee inquiry. let me bring in professor monks, it sometimes seems the answer to solving this problem is an electric car, electric cars, ade the answer to the problems? they are not a panacea for all ills. they are not a panacea for all ills. they are not a zero emission vehicle, you have particles which are quite harmful in the air pollution context from the tyres and braking systems. actually we need new materials around tyres and brakes to keep on driving down elution. it's an important point the previous speaker made about the transition to a low emissions future, you can think about measures like having hybrid ca rs about measures like having hybrid cars in between getting rid, getting an all electric fleet and moving away from petrol and diesel. you are away from petrol and diesel. you are a chairof away from petrol and diesel. you are a chair of the quality group, you give advice for and to the department of the environment, what else are you saying to them in terms of keeping the levels at legal limits is not lower? we are looking ata limits is not lower? we are looking at a bunch of measures, we advise them on the science behind reducing air pollution levels further than what we have achieved, looking at areas like wood—burning, encouraging people to use try and seasoned wood, looking at areas like agriculture, thinking about how one might want to go for a thinking about how one might want to go fora win— thinking about how one might want to go for a win— win situation in terms of agriculture, agriculture leads to cheaper farming, of agriculture, agriculture leads to cheaperfarming, reduces of agriculture, agriculture leads to cheaper farming, reduces the of agriculture, agriculture leads to cheaperfarming, reduces the impact of things like ammonia, you think about the role of active transport, moving people from one form of transport to another may help us achieve ambitious air quality targets. let me bring in councillor anne richardson, thank you for coming in. gaskell named as one of the uk's worst cities when it comes to pollution, why? -- glasgow. that was based on 2013 figures. are you not one of the worst any more? we've made lots of progress, the good news story we want to get across, 95% of glasgow city has good air quality, still some areas problematic particularly in the city centre but we are making a lot of moves to improve that cause the city centre still has problems with nitrogen dioxide, we are introducing a low emissions zone in scotland at the end of next year, that is a transport policy, also based on the health drivers and making sure we can improve the efforts of everyone coming in and out of the city centre. it's mostly about traffic? yes, in terms of the nitrogen dioxide problem we have in the city ce ntre dioxide problem we have in the city centre it's mostly traffic and diesel vehicles that cause those difficulties. in terms of global emissions, we have used evidence, the science to model how we can get our emission levels back down to within scottish government limits and we will introduce a low emission zone in phases, tacking most polluting because first, to ensure people coming into the city are clean and not adding to the air pollution. on top of that we are doing a lot of work as mentioned previously, active travel, behaviour change, modal shift, is crucial. let me ask simon and professor monks. how do you get people to change their habits of a lifetime, to be less reliant on the car? you have got to give them help and support, what could that week? this is such an emergency we have get a bull out of diesel vehicles, get them out, we need low emissions vehicles. you have to convince people it's an emergency and for most people watching that is what is going on in syria or at the submarine lost at the bottom of the ocean, robert mugabe torturing his citizens, that is an emergency. it's a different type of emergency, the children you are bringing up will have health harm through their breathing or your grandma who has a heart condition may die earlier because of that. i don't think anybody wants to accept that and so this is not rocket science, we know what's needed and that's why it's cried frustrating, we have to get on with it, take up the cars, lots of policies, scrappage schemes, incentives, get the car industry to help us, they got us into this mess. professor monks, if i may, quick final point, can you assure our audience that the government takes the sirius to considering what simon has told us, him and a group of lawyers had taken the government to caught a couple of times over the last couple of years. i don't speak for the government. what you are the nearest to them we have got. what i can tell you absolutely the science going in is pushing very hard to achieve these very ambitious air—quality targets and limits to drive down the human health impact of what i would agree it's a public health emergency. health impact of what i would agree it's a public health emergencym paul was in charge think we would be doing ok, he's talked a lot of sense todayis doing ok, he's talked a lot of sense today is that the government would listen to him and get with it we would be ok. thank you, all of you, i appreciate your time. still to come. politician in thejungle — the former leader of scottish labour, kezia dugdale, makes her first live appearance on i'm a celebrity, get me out of here. and the earth at night is getting brighter but at what cost to our well—being? time for the latest news — here's annita. the headlines and bbc news. conservative mps have rallied around the chancellor after his budget was overshadowed by a gloomier than expected forecast for economic growth. philip hammond announced a series of spending and tax measures amounting to £25 billion. he won cautious praise for providing extra money for the nhs, housebuilding and brexit. the chancellor says his budget has delivered "a package for britain" and for families who are feeling the pressure. however, labour say mr hammond failed to address the squeeze on household incomes. the new leader of zimbabwe, emmerson mnangagwa, has urged the country to unite. in a speech to a cheering crowd he praised the army for removing president robert mugabe peacefully. mr mnangagwa, who will be sworn in as president tomorrow, said zimbabwe was experiencing a new democracy — and his priority is to rebuild its economy. nearly two million adults experienced domestic abuse in england and wales, according to a major new report from the office for national statistics. the figures, from the crime survey for england and wales for the year ending march 2017, reveal that 1.2 million women and 713,000 men reported being the victims of some form of domestic abuse in the previous year. 1.1 million reports of abuse were recorded by police. the argentine navy is investigating reports of a sound heard a few hours after it lost contact with one of its submarines a week ago in the south atlantic. there are concerns that the 44 crew on board the sanjuan submarine could be running low on oxygen. an raf aircraft has landed in argentina to help with the search. a former doctorfor the us gymnastics team has pleaded guilty to sexual assaults against women and girls in his care. lawrence nassar was accused of molesting dozens of female athletes — including three olympic gold medallists — while he was working for both the national team and a university. more than 70 people had to be rescued overnight after flooding across lancashire. people in lancaster and morecambe were among those affected. the fire service said it received more than 400 calls and helped evacuate 20 horses that had become trapped. there are currently 8 flood warnings in place across lancashire and in neighbouring cumbria. one resident told us how her home was affected. went to work today, thought little of it, came back, thought it is pretty high, it's going to rain all night, let's move stuff out of the way. it came in faster and faster, at one point we were bucketing it out, we had pumps going. there came a point when it was bucket versus river and the river won. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. colin has sent an e—mail about i'm a celebrity get me out of here, asking if she is on leave, how much leave the mps allowed ? if she is on leave, how much leave the mps allowed? they are paid £75,000 a year so the three weeks away is costing the taxpayer for a lot of thousand pounds, the labour party ca n lot of thousand pounds, the labour party can complain as much as they like, it is the taxpayer picking up the tab. politicians are still out of touch. here's some sport now with hugh. good morning again, the 2017 ashes is now underway. england ended the open day 196—4 in australia. they won the toss and batted, james vince the star performer with 83, a half—century from mark stoneman, england made a steady start at the gabba stadium, although steady start at the gabba stadium, althouthoe steady start at the gabba stadium, although joe root was that were 15 and alastair cook for just two. manchester united must wait for the final group game to make the champions league knockout faces, after losing 1— 02 fc basel last night. victory for chelsea, they win their group but celtic were beaten 7-1 their group but celtic were beaten 7—1 by psg. england play new zealand in the semifinals of the women's hockey world league final tomorrow, they beat the usa 2—1 in auckland this morning, sophie bray scored both goals. breaking newsjust coming in, widnes vikings and former england halfback randy chase has been banned from all sport for two yea rs been banned from all sport for two years after testing positive for cocaine. —— rangi chase. thank you, hugh. greeted by singing crowds and cheering, the man who is set to become the new leader of zimbabwe has returned to the country and is preparing for his inauguration tomorrow. emmerson mnangagwa, who was sacked as vice—president two weeks ago praised the army, who seized power last week and forced robert mugabe to resign and told supporters that gathered to welcome him back they are witnessing the start of a new democracy. today we are witnessing the beginning of a new unfolding democracy. i wish also to thank the manner in which our defence forces and the leadership of constantino chiwenga. .. cheering they have been able to manage this process very peaceably. let's speak now to nick mangwala, representative in the uk for zanu—pf, robert mugabe's former party. he's been a member since 1990. and in harare we have dewa mavhinga, who was badly beaten and imprisoned for 8 days after protesting against mugabe. first as a representative of the zanu—pf in this country, robert mugabe has gone, will zimbabwe change? a lot. how? we will be more outward looking. we won't be an isolated country like we were. people will enjoy more freedoms. there will be more tolerant of divergent views both in and outside the party. but not totally tolerant. i say more tolerant because there was no tolerance under mugabe. why do you say that zimbabwe will change in that way when emmerson mnangagwa is not a reformer, he is from the system that president mugabe created, he has benefited from that system. created, he has benefited from that syste m. h ow created, he has benefited from that system. how is he, in his mid—70s, the right man to take some bubbly forward ? the right man to take some bubbly forward? so far emmerson mnangagwa hasissued forward? so far emmerson mnangagwa has issued three statements. all those statements have been propagating a new vision, a vision of tolerance, a vision where people are not punished for speaking their minds. whether state should facilitate for people to flourish rather than prescribing what people should do with their lives. let me bring in dewa mavhinga. thank you for talking to us. i wonder how you are feeling, the day before the inauguration of a new president? mixed feelings. we have come to the end of mugabe's 37 years of authoritarian rule, brutal repression, littered with serious abuses of the last seven years, so huge relief, looking for a new start, also fearful for the future, he was mugabe's enforcer for the la st he was mugabe's enforcer for the last seven years. he was security minister when the second largest ethnic group in the country were being massacred by mugabe's forces. and has not been held accountable for that, there has been no accountability or justice, the military has been at the heart of this machinery of violence and it remains intact. what is happening over the last week is not a 's revolution but it is a military programme that the new leader was pa rt programme that the new leader was part of, to get rid of one leader for another, yet keeping a system thatis for another, yet keeping a system that is repressive. nick, you have heard what dewa mavhinga said and he is right in that the generals and the military didn't get rid of mugabe for any point of principle, it was because they were worried that he would hand power to his wife and they didn't want that, they wa nted and they didn't want that, they wanted to maintain the system with emmerson mnangagwa. that's part of the reason although part of the reason was the socio— economic situation, and the pillaging of resources . situation, and the pillaging of resources. that has gone on for decades. for a long time, but look at emmerson mnangagwa's own character. she refused to decimate, he went with a former director of the cia, until he retired, for almost ten years, he was not vindictive... he was the security minister when the second largest ethnic group in the country was being massacred. there were three security ministers... that sounds pretty vindictive. there was a minister in the home office and a minister in the home office and a minister of defence and he was neither. so he didn't know what was going on? come off it. i'm not saying he didn't know, i am saying there were three ministers, including the prime minister, robert mugabe, check the documentation in hindsight... he wasn't stopping it. blends central sunni pns, they would sit there with guns, on the tables, that's the kind of situation they we re that's the kind of situation they were in. i'm not making excuses, and just saying, when they came from there, they had everything against them. after nearly four decades of mugabe the people of zimbabwe are on average one fifth poorer. botswana was roughly as rich as zimbabwe when mugabe came to power and they are now seven times richer. what can emmerson mnangagwa do to mix and bobby rich again? the first thing is accountability and transparency. the country has a lot of natural resources . country has a lot of natural resources. then the next thing is, he should and incompetence. that's a big thing with us at the moment. enterprises are closing because of incompetence. in all his speeches and press releases, he has identified where the programmes are. emmerson mnangagwa is not much of an array to, not the most charismatic leader but he is effective and pragmatic in every ministry he has beenin pragmatic in every ministry he has been in so we expect him to bring baptism by. thank you the coming on the programme. thank you dewa for talking to our british audience. the former leader of the scottish labour party, kezia dugdale, has been explaining her decision to appear on i'm a celebrity, get me out of here. yesterday the party decided not to suspend her after she took "an unauthorised leave of absence" to appear on the reality television show. our correspondent, chichi izunda is with us now. so what will we see kezia dugdale doing? she will be part of the rest of the camp mates. we should point out that they've already started forming bonds and the programme likes to throw in new contestants to dislodge those bonds. that's right, they are getting in to well. sushi and iain lee are coming into the camp, we have already seen people eating bugs on such things, she will ta ke eating bugs on such things, she will take part in bush tucker trials and the challenges. she won't be given any special treatment, basically. shall we listen to kezia, she has talked about why she is going into the programme. i am kezia, best known for leading the scottish labour party in scotland, and a memberof the labour party in scotland, and a member of the scottish parliament. people have seen me dealing with rats and snakes in my time. i am tougher than people think, you don't get to the top in politics about having a tough skin. ijust think the jungle will be a whole heap tougher. she's not the first politician to do this kind of thing. no, not the first politician and reality tv, most famously, most disturbingly for me would be george galloway when he was in big brother, also leading tories, who has been in i'm a celebrity get me out of here. here is a look at why it is sometimes a bit uncomfortable. now would you like me to be the cat? yes, please. it's ok, don't be frightened. come on, kit kat. good cat. yes. you stay there, i'll get you some milk and then i'll brush you, you like that, don't you? good girl. good pussycat. delicious. good girl. good pussycat. delicious. good girl. good girl. you've got cream all over your whiskers. good pussycat. what a good cutie! yes! has it been a trying day. has it? you don't like it when lots of people come in, do you? how well baked is that? 20 minutes. pull off a leg and give it a try. go on! you are doing it. tastesjust like a try. go on! you are doing it. tastes just like chicken. a try. go on! you are doing it. tastesjust like chicken. my god. what am i doing? you can do it. you are doing it. this is really difficult. go on. god, it's horrible! got it. well done. amazing. it was disgusting. she did well, i have to say, seeing george galloway again, i can't eric. cringeworthy. the gallery went on far too long with that clip. it is just terrific. nadine dorries has just terrific. nadine dorries has just tweeted supporting kezia dugdale, she says the political leaders need to wake up, she will have 12 million people looking at what she is doing and kezia dad dale has said one of the reasons she wa nts to has said one of the reasons she wants to go into the jungle is so she can describe the labour party values and how it's different. the brexit chat did start in the jungle a couple of days ago, shop down by sta nley, a couple of days ago, shop down by stanley, they were asking him really good questions and he is not here but the political chat. but it depends whether the producers will edit it in a way that allows her to get the labour party message across. all the messages i've read about her going in have been pretty critical, people not impressed however nigel says an opportunity to see a working politician engage with a wider audience will be better than watching pmqs which isjust like audience will be better than watching pmqs which is just like a load of squabbling children. louise armstrong says good on her, getting the labour party message out to millions but it is controversial. the budget is coming up for the scottish parties in december, she is supposed to be preparing for that, she says she will be back in time to prepare for that. other msps are not happy she is taking three weeks off from her work, neil findlay and msp called it utterly ridiculous, said it demeans politics and he is disappointed in the fact she is taking part. 0k. disappointed in the fact she is taking part. ok. i disappointed in the fact she is taking part. 0k. ithink disappointed in the fact she is taking part. ok. i think philip hammond had a day, didn't he? the chancellor? it's still being talked about, the chancellor took time time to mention it. if they carry on like that there'll be plenty of others joining kezia dugdale and saying i'm labour, get out of here! she has also said she is donating her pay, her msp paid to a charity... for those three weeks. for those three weeks and an undisclosed portion of herfee for weeks and an undisclosed portion of her fee for the programme to the same charity. i guess we just have to wait and see whether she can talk all the text and whether she can talk labour. we will see. thank you. thank you for your views, keep them coming in. the earth at night is getting brighter. a study of pictures has revealed that artificial light is growing brighter and more extensive every year. between 2012 and 2016, the planet's artificially lit outdoor area grew by more than 2% per year. scientists say a "loss of night" in many countries is having negative consequences for "flora, fauna, and human well—being". we can speak now to drjon bennie, lecturer in physical geography from the university of exeter who was involved in the study. hello to you. hello, victoria. what impact does it have, this artificial light. it shows light has been growing by 2% per year and it has a range of impacts. we are losing our connection with the night sky, most of us cannot see the milky way from where we live, that's a basic connection with nature, losing connection with nature, losing connection with nature, losing connection with the environment, our a ncestors, connection with the environment, our ancestors, people are concerned. astronomers are concerned, they are unable to see the night sky but it's quite likely this increase in artificial light up night is impacting our health because our circadian clocks, the internal clocks which regulate sleep and wake cycles a nd clocks which regulate sleep and wake cycles and regulate recovery and cell recovery and health and the sort of rhythm of melatonin production in our bodies is disrupted by quite low levels of light and as we eliminate our nocturnal environment and try and make it more like they had has the potential for quite serious health effects. we don't sleep as well and thatis effects. we don't sleep as well and that is bad for us? absolutely. certainly sleep is a big thing but it's more than just sleep, it's the physiology, the biochemical physiology, the biochemical physiology required, the 24—hour cycle of light and darkness and we don't get that, but can disrupt our physiology. what about the effects on land and animals? artificial light, light is key for all kinds of light, light is key for all kinds of light -- life, light, light is key for all kinds of light —— life, a graham delaet clocks and animals, they know what time of day it is, the time of year, the days get longer in spring, shorter in the autumn, a series of animals use the night sky to navigate, done because, we have learned, do that. sorry, tell me how, i should learned, do that. sorry, tell me how, ishould know learned, do that. sorry, tell me how, i should know this but tell me how, i should know this but tell me how done because i navigated by the milky way. it was quite a neat study in south africa, by some research is, they figured out by doing experiments in a planetarium, they could switch on and off, they discovered dung beetles, african dung beetles use the broad band of light from the milky way to orientate themselves and make sure they keep walking in a straight line. wow! we know so little about how animals use light in such a variety of ways. absolutely fascinating. thank you so much for speaking to us. and for telling us about the results of your study which is so important. we've had a huge response to our film about bradley grimes — we'll read some of your messages injust a moment — but first let's have a look again at his story — bradley is 23 and from middlesbrough — he's been homeless for most of his adult life, has autism, a brain tumour and has the mental age of a child. his situation became so desperate, that he stood up in court and asked a judge to send him to prison. we met him after he'd been released and helped into supported housing. this is the alleyway where where i used to sit. i used to sit in the middle so it was away from the shops. just asking people for money. basically, all they've done is placed an anti—social behaviour order on me to try to stop me from begging. but i have to in order to survive. yeah, i used to sit down here like this. just sit on the floor here. what happened? well, cctv picks you up and they dispatch either the police or the street wardens. if the police come, you're arrested. it got to the stage where they were locking me up once or twice a day for a period of a few months and i was in pretty much all weekend nearly enough every weekend. for doing what? just for basically sitting outside a shop. i can't even sit on a public bench without getting locked up. i have to keep moving. ijust basically went in and asked the judge to send me down until they could get appropriate accommodation for me. that's the last option i had, what i could think of. even the judge in court said that they shouldn't be giving homeless people criminal behaviour orders, they should be helping them. bradley grimes. this message from john on facebook, i've been trying for the last 12 wants to raise the issue of homelessness in middlesbrough, the council had not been helpful, they won't help find appropriate accommodation. we did ask the council for a statement and we have yet to hear back from them. read on facebook says it is disgraceful, this child has been thrown away by society, it makes me feel sick to my stomach and terrifies me as to what the future holds if we treat our most vulnerable in such a throwaway manner. diana on this book says this isa manner. diana on this book says this is a heartbreaking story and charlie says there needs to be ongoing support to encompass mental and physical health support. i wonder if a modern—day solution to this is to go back to working communities such as cadbury for work was linked to housing and community life. thank you so much for those. if you want to see the full film go to our programme page. and you can watch the entire film there. there it is. on kezia dugdale being on i'm a celebrity, one viewer says shirley politicians should do the job they are elected to do, not rush of. i would want her sacked. most people cannot take on authorised leave without consequences. thank you for getting in touch. if you didn't thank you for just watching. have getting in touch. if you didn't thank you forjust watching. have a great day. we are back tomorrow at 9am. good morning. many of us started off with sunshine this morning. colder than recent days, that is the theme for the next few days, all of us experiencing colder weather. some snow in northern scotland, clearing, watch out for ice over the next few hours, some showers moving through england and wales, not as heavy or torrential as they were across parts of cumbria and lancashire yesterday. for many of us dry this afternoon, holding on to double figures in the south—east, elsewhere temperatures down compared to yesterday. friday, lots of dry weather and sunshine, look at these white speckled, wintry showers into scotland, northern ireland, one or two into north—west england and north wales, another dry and bright day, cold day. into the weekend, staying cold, frosty nights, some showers during the day, chilly wind, some sunshine. goodbye. this is bbc news, and these are the top stories developing at 11. conservative mps have backed the chancellor, calling his budget "solid" and "common—sense" despite gloomy forecasts for economic growth. philip hammond says his measures will make a difference. what we have delivered yesterday is a package for britain. it is a package for families who are feeling the pressure. we'll be putting your budget question to a panel of experts. you can send your questions in now using the hashtag bbcaskthis on twitter, or you can text them in to 61124. or you can email in your video questions to yourpics@bbc.co.uk. flood warnings remain in place across parts of north—west england. 70 people had to be rescued from their homes in lancashire last night. jon venables, one of the killers of the toddlerjames bulger,
