nations in world cup qualifying. england put ten past luxembourg, whilst there were also wins for scotland, northern ireland and wales. it is the autumn equinox that comes with cloud and rain in scotland and northern ireland but something brighter in england and wales. the forecast here on breakfast. it's wednesday the 22nd of september. boris johnson's hopes for securing a comprehensive free trade deal with the us appear to be fading after president biden downplayed the issue after their face—to—face meeting at the white house. downing street said there was a very positive atmosphere between the two leaders. the president also issued a fresh warning to mrjohnson that peace in northern ireland must not be jeopardised as a result of the complications caused by brexit. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports from washington dc. side by side, borisjohnson�*s visit to the most famous political office in the world finally took place. the president regaling him first with stories of the american railroad. i travel more on amtrak. if i were a conductor, i would be number one on seniority. it was far from just a friendly chat. the two men hailing working together on security, on travel, on climate. but on trade, the us isn't ready to speed towards a deal with the uk. and the us president was clear on his concerns about northern ireland. on the deal with the uk, that continues to be discussed. but on the protocols, i feel very strongly about this. i feel very strongly about those. and i would not at all like to see, nor, i might add, would many of my republican colleagues like to see, a change in the irish courts and the end result having a closed border again. for number 10, though, the white house visit was third day lucky on this trip, describing the atmosphere of the talks as very positive, saying the relationship between the new neighbours at the white house and the uk is making great strides forward. finally, after two years, borisjohnson has had his moment in the white house as the uk prime minister. on this muggy washington evening, the atmosphere inside the oval office was warm. the two men agree on many things, particularly their commitment to tackling climate change. but there is a sense, still, this is a relationship in its early days, not yet an established friendship. the prime minister still has one day on this side of the atlantic. the situation he'll face at home could give him more cause for concern. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, at the white house. the commercial production of carbon dioxide for use in the food and drink industry is set to resume after the government reached a deal to cover a manufacturer's operating costs for a limited time. it comes after a warning that rising gas prices could lead to a shortage of goods on the shelves. chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now. where are we with the crisis, has it been averted? this where are we with the crisis, has it been averted?— been averted? this bit of the gas crisis looks _ been averted? this bit of the gas crisis looks like _ been averted? this bit of the gas crisis looks like it _ been averted? this bit of the gas crisis looks like it has _ been averted? this bit of the gas crisis looks like it has been - crisis looks like it has been averted at least for bit, because they have decided to cover the operating costs of one plant for three weeks for several million pounds. this plant makes fertiliser but a by—product of that is carbon dioxide that is used in different industries, especially food production. if you have no carbon dioxide it affects food on the shelves, or at least it would have donein shelves, or at least it would have done in a few weeks, so this will bide them over the next few weeks so there is no immediate crisis. but what happens at the end of the three weeks, if gas prices are still superhigh, this company might still find itself in trouble. the government said it will do what it takes to ensure supplies for the country but it says it has to be with a market—based way, in other words, i do not think they want to do any more hand—outs to any more companies. separately to this, gas prices are still very high, which means there is pressure on energy companies, particularly those who did not buy gas supplies in advance when it was cheaper. the industry is still expecting more companies to go bust, which means more having to switch to other suppliers, where bills could be higher than expected. that bit of the crisis has not been averted yet. that bit of

repeated human errors and outdated technology led to an estimated £1 billion worth of state pensions being underpaid to more than 100,000 people. a report by the national audit office into failures at the department for work and pensions found problems dating back to the 1980s. here's our business reporter, sarah corker. for nearly a decade, irene from worcestershire was underpaid her state pension. she is one of thousands of women in their 70s and 80s that missed out on large sums of money because of government errors. i think it's scandalous. i think that the fact that you have to battle for something that's rightfully yours is awful, because i was lucky, i have got richard to help me. but anybody who is a widow, perhaps not financially up with it, and they're perhaps struggling on the breadline, it could make a tremendous difference. irene has now been paid the £7,000 she was owed, but it was a battle and she's far from alone. these errors relate to married women who had small state pensions. they were eligible to claim 60% of their husbands contributions. but complex rules and errors by the dwp meant that for decades, they were underpaid. the errors date back to 1985, affecting an estimated 134,000 pensioners, including some married women, widows and the over 805. they are collectively owed more than £1 billion. the national audit office found there were repeated human errors over many years at the department for work and pensions, blamed on complex pension rules and unautomated, outdated it systems. most of the people affected are going to be women, not all, but most — 90% of those that take this type of state pension uplifts are women. and unfortunately, i'm afraid, many of them will have died before they received the money that they are owed. so actually, in a significant minority of cases, this is money that will actually go to their next of kin. the department for work and pensions said it is fully committed to ensuring the historical errors made by successive governments are corrected, and it's improved training to make sure it doesn't happen again. a team of 500 civil servants is now working to trace women like irene who were short—changed. but it will take years to complete. sarah corker, bbc news. lava flowing from the volcano that erupted on the spanish island of la palma on sunday has now destroyed more than 200 houses. nearly 6,000 people who live near the cumbre vieja volcano have been evacuated. the lava is flowing at an estimated speed of 300 metres an hour down towards the sea. let's see some live pictures of la palma. it is continuing. you can see the eruption still ongoing. we hope to bring you more information in the programme about what is happening to people who live nearby because there has been confusion about where they are going and how long they need to be away. hopefully we will clear that up on the programme. the pictures are incredible. the footballer and food campaigner marcus rashford is set to find a new type of stardom — on the school syllabus. some students starting gcse media studies this autumn will learn about how the striker used his high profile to help provide healthy meals to disadvantaged young people. last year, he was awarded an mbe for services to vulnerable children during the pandemic. now you can go to school to learn about him. that was him with his mum at the food bank. it was named after him. a bit like you, he has a bad back. not now that i am in my new position. now that you are watching your top line. we both watch our top line. there we go. attitude is important. you have to pretend you and the dance floor. you own the studio and everyone else has to get out of it. and now it is matt who owns the weather. good morning, it is the autumn equinox. the end of summer in the astronomical calendar. it will feel like awesome particularly in scotland and later in northern ireland. england and wales, it should stay dry with sunshine, the best of which will be in the east. colder for sun this morning but this is where the rain is at present. pushing to the north—west of scotland. heavy rain in lewis and the highlands. the best of the sunshine in the south and east. temperatures on the rise after the cold start. it will brighten up in northern scotland this afternoon. rain pushing south. to the south of it temperatures above what it should be. quite a month as far as temperatures are concerned. but feeling cooler later. here we will see gusty winds. you can see the mean wind speed on the chart. rain in aberdeen, through towards perth, glasgow, and the north and west of northern ireland this evening. england and wales staying dry with sunny spells in central and eastern areas especially. overnight, cloud and rain pushes away. more rain at times in the north of scotland where the wind will strengthen. gales, perhaps severe gales in parts of orkney and shetland. it keeps the temperatures up tonight. tomorrow, plenty of cloud but brightening up particularly in the south. always cloudy in western areas to see the week out but it will stay warm in england and week out but it will stay warm in england and wales. the number of people having a baby using a surrogate in england and wales has almost quadrupled in the last ten years. applications for court orders which transfer rights from the surrogate to the intended parents increased from 117 in 2011 to a13 in 2020. the research, from the university of kent and a surrogacy matching agency, also found that most applicants were mixed sex couples. breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin reports. let me introduce three families. my name's natalie, i'm 3a and a first—time surrogate. each with their own journey into surrogacy. hi, i'm carina. i'm 41 years old and i'm a mum of four beautiful children, each born through surrogacy following a breast cancer diagnosis. each have given or received perhaps the greatest gift there could ever be. this is from fran. fran is mum to grace. and this is gina and gina - was grace's tummy mummy. the gift of a brand—new life — or three. carina's journey might have begun with a near—fatal health condition, but it's brought her, joyfully, right here. all: we are the damons! so ena was my very first surrogate who gave birth to my daughter amala, and laura was my second surrogate, who gave birth to the triplets for me. and, you know, those women transformed my life. they made me a mum. they gave me something that many medics told me would never be possible. and, you know, they made my dreams come true. and for them, i'm for ever grateful. they are a small part of a growing number of surrogate children. a report shown exclusively to the bbc shows the number of parents having a baby using a surrogate in england and wales has almost quadrupled in the last ten years. from 117 in 2011 to over 400 last year. for carina and also for frances, finding a surrogate was life—changing. when you're given a cancer diagnosis, your whole life just changes in seconds and it's like you just fall into this hole. and then when evelyn was born, who was the first one, it felt like the first time since that diagnosis — sorry — this weight had been lifted. there was no handing over. it wasjust all four of us being in the room, part of a wonderful birth. and ijust watched a family being created, literally in front of my eyes. almost felt like i was encroaching on their moment — of the beginning of their family. it was beautiful. the girls saved my life. but almost 40 years ago, surrogacy was viewed with suspicion. months after britain's first surrogate baby was born, so, too, were the very first surrogacy laws. today, those laws are under review. only altruistic surrogacy is allowed here. surrogates can't advertise and they can't charge a fee — only expenses. carina paid around £75,000 in expenses for her family. because there isn't an actual legal framework that surrogacy operates within, there's a heck of a lot of trust that's needed. and the classic thing is people always say, what if she keeps your baby? but one thing that ena said to me, and it really opened my eyes with regards to the law and the way it stands, she said, my biggest fear is what if you don't take your baby? because, legally, i'm that child's mum. so there are two sides to every coin here. the end of natalie's surrogacy journey is now weeks away. she and husband jack already have two children, but her surrogacy dream was born out of the heartbreak of having a stillborn daughter. i always try and take positives from any situation. planning to bring my own home and not doing that was the hardest thing that i've ever had to do. but to have somebody else's baby that isn't genetically linked to me at all, for them to worship and love and cherish is a positive thing that's come out of a very negative, dark period. this was the embryo. these were the tests. and this — well, this is the very moment she broke the news to her intended parents, andy and gareth. i'm excited, i can't wait. the best part about being pregnant is not the stresses. i don't have to worry about what i haven't got or what i need to get, you know, all these things. i honestly cannot wait to see their faces. i have said if they don't cry, i might punch them. it was a concern for me that, at the end of the process, how nat would feel handing the baby over. but now, meeting the guys and getting to know them, no, that's not a concern for me at all, because, like nat said, we get to sort of share in the joy that they get. all of these families agree that current laws need reform, but all agree there is no greater gift than parenthood. parenthood, to me, means the ability to nurture, create and grow your child in any way, shape orform. unconditional love from the moment they're in your arms. i wasn't able to do the first nine months of their life. but i'll be here for the rest of their lives. as long as you love them, that's all you need, really. if you needed a little bit ofjoy on wednesday morning. i think we brought it to you there. jayne mccubbin reporting there. just after eight, we'll speak to a father who has two children through surrogacy, and a woman who was a surrogate forfive children. if minister if 5 have struck a deal minister have struck a deal to restart the uk's commercial production of carbon dioxide — after warnings the shortage could disrupt food supplies. but is it the end of the crisis? nina's at a brewery in salford. will this fix things? yes. good morning. from the brewery in salford. it is the seven brothers brewery where seven brothers set up a brewery. we have seen how important co2 is to the drink supply chain. these, they ferment, the water goes into an carbon dioxide is used to purge them, cleanse them, so it does not go off in the brewing process. here we have the packaging. carbon dioxide is used to go into the tins again to make sure your beer does not go off. and look at the bar area. every time you have a pint in your local, carbon dioxide is used to push the liquid into your pint glass. that is why it is so important and this is a tiny business that relies on it so heavily. let's look at why there has been so much tension around the supply. we have been talking about the wholesale price providers are having to pay to get it to us which has doubled since january because of increased demand and lower supply. prices are so high, some businesses have not been able to afford to function. one of them, cf industries, an american company that makes fertiliser, the by—product of carbon dioxide is 60% of our national source. we know how widely it is used in brewing, fizzy drinks, salad packaging. one industry group says if these did not change by yesterday you could see gaps on the shelves in the next few days. that deal was struck last night, a multi—million pound dealfor three multi—million pound deal for three weeks multi—million pound dealfor three weeks to get carbon dioxide production up and running but there is thought to be a three day lag before that happened so it is an anxious time for businesses like michael's. michael processes chicken and within the process he uses carbon dioxide to keep it fresh. tell us last night, when you heard about the deal, your reaction. i was relieved. about the deal,

to put chicken on the shelf as long as normal and consumers will be affected when they buy the chicken. they will have to eat it fairly quickly, not leave it in the fridge a few days before having a

looking at putting extra tanks into hold co2 on site to give my business more flexibility, possibly 2—3 weeks of supply on site rather than relying on the supplier. which all cost money, extra outlay.

winter and this is a temporary problem but businesses like michael's struggling to believe that at the moment as are consumers who are wondering the point at which the costs will be passed on to them. over the past 18 months on breakfast, you'll remember we've been following the journeys of doddie weir, rob burrow and stephen darby — three former sports stars all living with motor neurone disease. they've become key campaigners, raising awareness of the incurable illness that afects up to 5,000 people in the uk. yesterday, rob and stephen went to downing street, to deliver a letter calling for more funding for the condition. brea kfast�*s zoe conway was with them. a picture of dignity, courage and determination. stephen darby is handing in a petition calling on the government to put £50 million into research to fund new treatments for motor neurone disease. commentator: stephen darby, what a challenge this was. this former professional footballer was diagnosed with it three years ago. it is such a brutal disease, its progress normally so rapid, that he is fortunate it has not yet taken away the use of his legs or his power of speech. what was going through your mind when you were standing in front of that door? really, where everything is at the minute. the hard work that has gone in from notjust everyone here today, but the support that we've had from hundreds and thousands of people. i can't thank them enough for their support. the other sports star here is former rugby league player rob burrow. at his side, his greatest champion, his father geoff, who came down to london with him from yorkshire. it must have been a bit of an ordeal to come down today. was it worth it? more than worth it. it was an ordeal, but a good ordeal. it has been marvellous. i never thought i would be... rob and myself would be outside 10 downing st. let's hope the petition works and makes a difference. the prime minister is not here. he is in new york. if he was here, what would you say to him? what this will mean to mnd sufferers and great hope — we are now on the brink of a meaningful treatment, so we need to get funds to help prolong life and find a cure. their friend, the former rugby union player doddie weir, should have been here, too, but he had to abandon his journey down after being pinged for being in contact with someone with covid. it is notjust the government they have been lobbying. there were meetings with prominent politicians, including the speaker of the house of commons, lindsay hoyle. thanks for what you do. you are getting the profile there and that is what really, really matters. and if anyone is going to fight, you are the fighter. you have been a champion all your life. keep it coming. the motor neurone disease association hopes that if the government finds £50 million in the budget this autumn, they can double it to 100 million with donations from charities and business. we need to fund motor neurone disease research all the way from understanding what causes it right at the very beginning, all the way through to developing new drugs and then testing those in patients. so those three components, that is called the translational pipeline, that whole pipeline of work is an expensive thing to do. is it a complete moonshot, this project? it is partly a moonshot, but, actually now is the time to do it, because we are making huge advances in motor neurone disease. usually, i have less than one clinical trial to offer my patients a year. right now, i've got about ten. what these campaigners achieved was surely more than make the case for funding. they inspired. as rob burrow likes to say, motor neurone disease might rob them of their legs, their voices and perhaps, one day, their ability to breathe, but it will never take away their spirit. zoe conway, bbc news. great to see them handing in the petition. foranyone great to see them handing in the petition. for anyone concerned about doddy weir, he was just pinged, he was fine. they were on the way down but he and his wife had to turn back. a situation lots of people have been in, being clinically vulnerable. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. the government is taking legal action against climate change protestors to try and stop disruption on the m25. the group insulate britain has blocked the motorway on several occasions in the past week. it's said its actions are entirely proportionate "in the context of the horror of the climate crisis". seeking an injuction against them, the government says it will not stand by while the protests disrupt people's lives. local community groups in london are warning that thousands of people will be pushed to the brink if the extra £20 a week in universal credit is cut at the end of this month. official figures show just over a million people in london claimed the benefit in august. haringey has the highest rate, with one in ten claiming. the government says its focus is on getting people into work. the family of a woman from brentford who died from covid—19 have created a cookbook to try and keep her memory alive. sabeen mansoor died last february after spending seven weeks on a ventilator. she was passionate about cooking. and so her husband and son have put together a book of her favourite recipes as a way of honoring her. the smell is just unbelievable. it brings to mind us running down and see if the dish is ready, because when sabeen used to make it, the whole house used to smell so beautiful. unfortunately, now, we can never have food from her hands, but what we're trying to do is to try to keep the whole heritage and whole family thing alive. let's have a look at the travel situation this morning. there are minor delays on the metropolitan line, otherwise it's good service on the tubes this morning on the roads, the m25 has one lane closed anticlockwise after the dartford tunnel. queues back tojunction 2 for the a2. and for all other travel news tune in to your local bbc radio station. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it is set to be another decent day of weather today across the capital. above average temperatures once

single figures. and there is a bit of mist around as well but it's not terribly widespread or extensive. that will lift and clear as we head through the morning. there will be some sunshine emerging, perhaps a little bit more cloud through the afternoon than we saw yesterday but staying dry. top temperatures in the best of the sunshine this afternoon hitting 21 to 23 celsius in a few more favoured spots. a bit more of a noticeable westerly wind blowing too. as we head through this morning this evening and overnight, as we head through this evening and overnight, we've got cloud edging down from the north—west. that will keep the temperatures largely in double figures so lows of around ten or 11 celsius. as we start the day on thursday, there could be a few spits and spots of drizzle. certainly a lot of cloud around through the morning, and then that cloud will clear to leave us with a dry and sunny afternoon. top temperatures around 22 celsius, maybe 23 again by the time we get to friday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back to dan and sally. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. coming up on

tom. sorry, rocky, whoever you are this week. the revelation of his true identity left eastenders fans reeling last night. we'll chat to brian conley, aka "rocky", about being the square's newest bad boy. £100,000 — that's how much one woman was owed after it emerged her state pension had been underpaid for 20 years. and rosemary chattell is not alone, she is just one of more than 100,000 people, mostly women, who are owed an estimated £1 billion. her sonjohn is with us now. and alsojoining us from london is the former pensions minister sir steve webb, who brought the department of work and

weather now with mats. good morning. approaching sunrise this morning in east yorkshire. if you follow the astronomical calendar, it is the last of today is the autumn equinox. it is the sunrise and sunset, they are not equal length, that will happen later in the week, the equal length days and nights, that's to do with the curvature of the earth. at the log about our approach. we have got some —— but the longer nights are approaching. we have rain spreading through scotland this morning. a bit of a cool psst start in eastern areas, a dry and reasonably sunny day in eastern england. symbiotic additions to the south—east of scotland and northern ireland. the further north you go, we will have more gusty winds. we are well above where we should be in a good part of england and wales in terms of temperature. patchy rain will push south tonight, some lively showers across the far north of scotland coming and going, and gale or severe gale force winds tonight. more windy tonight than last night. we have the breeze blowing and a fair bit of cloud so it will not be chilly into tomorrow morning. this is the area of low pressure which is strengthening the winds, pushing eastwards and it is allowing an incursion of cold air into the north of the country. still west to south westerly winds across the rest of the uk keeping the temperature is up. more cloud across southern areas tomorrow, some patchy light rain or drizzle. cloud, patchy light rain or drizzle. cloud, patchy light rain or drizzle or the odd heavier burst across western scotland through the day. many other areas will see sunny spells through thursday. it will be a fresher feel in the north, further south, temperatures still above average. going into the weekend we switched the winds for all of us into a more southerly direction so temperatures will rise yet again, we have seen a month of temperatures well above normal for the time of year so far. by about three degrees across england and wales. there will be some rain on friday in scotland and northern ireland but south and east of the dry david sunny spells and temperatures between 23 and 24 degrees. that warmth will continue through england and wales through the weekend. yesterday the food and drink federation warned it could take just 10 days for products to be missing from supermarket shelves as a result of the carbon dioxide shortage. ministers have now struck a deal with one leading manufacturer, which should see production resume within the next few days. let's speak to ian wright, who made those comments yesterday. good morning. great to see this morning. you must be pleased at least that the deal has been done to restart production. we least that the deal has been done to restart production.— restart

production. we are very l pleased that the government and restart production. we are very i pleased that the government and the company concerned have been able to reach an agreement that the company will restart production. what we now need to understand is how that will work. i think prices of carbon dioxide from that company will rise and the customers will have to pay those prices. but as long as that happens, i think we will see that production will resume and we will see pretty quickly the danger of shortages disappear. this see pretty quickly the danger of shortages disappear.— see

don't think we know whether that is - think we know whether that is enough. what the government appears to have done is underwritten the cost of production. the company concerned has had to face a really extraordinary hike in the gas price. and the consequence is that producing carbon dioxide, which is a by—product of the fertiliser business they are really in, has not become economical. so the government has essentially given them breathing space to renegotiate the terms of trade with their various customers. those customers are all members of our organisation, food and drink businesses, hopefully they will be able to reach an agreement which allows the supply of carbon dioxide to resume. share allows the supply of carbon dioxide to resume. �* , ., allows the supply of carbon dioxide

problem because there are shortages of shelves. i think one of the things that shoppers and diners will have noticed is that shelves are empty in certain places, only very randomly, but also menus are constrained and the hours of dining are constrained in hospitality. these are all the result of both shortages and labour shortages. this carbon dioxide issue has come on top of all of that. i think we were close to a really serious problem, really quite a lengthy period of empty shelves. but fortunately, expeditious government action, and we are gratefulfor that, expeditious government action, and we are grateful for that, seems to have avoided that. its we are grateful for that, seems to have avoided that.— we are grateful for that, seems to have avoided that. its not the first time we

find alternative sources of either of c02 find alternative sources of either of co2 or different ways of doing thejob. we will of co2 or different ways of doing the job. we will be addressing that, extremely urgently, i think, having seen the close shave we have just had. seen the close shave we have 'ust had. �* ., . .,, seen the close shave we have 'ust had. �* ., . ., ., had. and how close

how it would be difficult for them to change the processing in a short space of time. these things will take time, won't they? yes, and i think the point is, we have a just—in—time supply chain. everything arrives just at the moment you need it. that is fine as long as there isn't some kind of interruption. and the difficulty is that everything is kind of on the edge. and i think we need to think about this in a different way. i also think we are all going to have to do, all of our businesses will have to make significant investment into the alternatives that might be available. it's a very narrow margin business, people don't a lot of money in food and drink, contrary to what people, customers and consumers might think. it is a very narrow margin business. so finding the space to make the necessary investment is a real struggle. but we will have to help our members and the other businesses in the sector to do that over the next few years. ian wright, chief executive of the

you're in the right place. ten for england against luxembourg last night and big wins for scotland, northern ireland and a great win for wales too. jo currie reports. when you're facing a team ranked 114 places beneath you, surely it's a case of not if you'll win but by how many. and it didn't take long for the gulf in quality to show. ellen white had to stretch with the opener. wonderfulfinish. and just five minutes later she got their second to send the lionesses well on their way and move her to within three goals of equalling england's goal scoring record. the visitors added two more before the break. sarina wiegman�*s second game in charge going very much to plan. in the second half, a screamer of an effort from alex greenwood. a centre back scoring a centre forward's goal. her second of the night, the perfect way to mark her 50th cap. her centre back partner millie bright then added two more before this poignant moment from rachel daly, scoring just one week on from the death of her father, the emotion clear to see. there won't be a more popular goal—scorer. england made it ten before the full—time whistle to sign off an emphatic win in luxembourg. the world cup may be two years away but next year northern ireland will play in the euros. their first ever major tournament. meaning this qualifying campaign is about wins and international experience. after a frustrating first half they went on the win comfortably, it ended 4—0 against latvia. rachel furness wrapping up proceedings from the spot. the women's first game at windsor park in nine years ending with new fans made. wales shot out of the blocks away to estonia. in towards harding! it's only taken four minutes. that is where the momentum ended. they found the net again but this effort was ruled offside. the win though and the three points were all that mattered. the goals of the night however belonged to scotland. erin cuthbert launching a rocket to put them ahead at home to the faroe islands while claire emslie matched that with this sensational free—kick to secure a 7—1 win. a great night all round for the home nations. jo currie, bbc news. lots of goals too and a couple of upsets in the third round of the league cup last night. liverpool beating norwich in the all premier league encounter at carrow road. the top flight�*s bottom side were no match for liverpool. takumi minamino put them ahead early on, before divock origi headed home in the second half. minamino then got his second late on to seal their place in the fourth round. everton were knocked out as were watford. you can see the full list of results on the bbc sport website. hungary will play next month's world cup qualifier against albania behind closed doors. it follows the racist behaviour of their fans during the game against england in budapest earlier this month, which also saw objects thrown on the pitch. they have also been fined just under £160,000. england women missed the chance to wrap up their one day series with two games to spare, losing to new zealand. leah tahuhu taking five english wickets, as england made 178 before losing by three wickets. katherine brunt contributing 49 to that total. but tahuhu threw the series wide open hitting the winning six for the visitors. andy murray won his opening match at the moselle open in france. he beat the world number 26 ugo humbert in three sets, the highest ranked player he's defeated this season. the win sets up a second round tie with canada's vasek pospisil. european ryder cup captain padraig harrington has been illustrating

swim with their family, it's all part of the process, it's a real shame. thank you forjoining us. we are going to leave you with those swimmers, as we learned to the news, travel and weather wherever you are watching this morning. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. time is running out to design and deliver euston station as part of the hs2 high speed rail link. that's accroding to the public accounts committee. the mps says there is uncertainty around the design — and old oak common in north west london — may become the final stop on the line. the department for transport says it hopes to report on the euston station progress this autumn. local community groups in london are warning that thousands of people will be pushed further into poverty if the extra £20 week in universal credit is cut at the end of this month. official figures show just over a million people in london claimed the benefit in august. haringey has the highest rate, with one in ten claiming. the government says it's focus is on getting people into work. the family of a woman from brentford who died from covid19 who died from covid—19 have created a cookbook to try and keep her memory alive. sabeen mansoor died last february after spending seven weeks on a ventilator. she was passionate about cooking — and so her husband and son have put together a book of her favourite recipes as a way of honoring her. the smell is just unbelievable. it brings to mind us running down and seeing if the dish is ready, because when sabeen used to make it, the whole house used to smell so beautiful. unfortunately, now, we can never have food from her hands, but what we're trying to do is to try to keep the whole heritage and whole family thing alive. let's have a look at the travel situation this morning. there are minor delays on the metropolitan line — otherwise it's good service on the tubes this morning. on the roads — the m25 has two lanes closed anticlockwise after the dartford tunnel — there are queues back to junction three for swanley. and for all other travel news tune in to your local bbc radio station. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it is set to be another decent day of weather today across the capital. above average temperatures once more for this time of year. it will stay dry and there will be quite a bit of sunshine around as well. it's been a chilly start to this morning, some of our temperatures rurally have dropped back into single figures. and there is a bit of mist around as well but it's not terribly widespread or extensive. that will lift and clear as we head through the morning. there will be some sunshine emerging, perhaps a little bit more cloud through the afternoon than we saw yesterday but staying dry. top temperatures in the best of the sunshine this afternoon hitting 21 to 23 celsius in a few more favoured spots. a bit more of a noticeable westerly wind blowing too. as we head through this evening and overnight, we've got cloud edging down from the north—west. that will keep the temperatures largely in double figures so lows of around ten or 11 celsius. as we start the day on thursday, there could be a few spits and spots of drizzle. certainly a lot of cloud around through the morning, and then that cloud will clear to leave us with a dry and sunny afternoon. top temperatures around 22 celsius, maybe 23 again by the time we get to friday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. our headlines today. white house talks between the prime minister and the president — but no trade deal agreed yet. the deal with the uk, that's continued to be discussed. pensions scandal — the catalogue of errors that led to thousands of women being underpaid by £1 billion. harry dunn's family resolve the civil case against the woman alleged to have killed him — but say they'll carry on pursuing criminal charges. we're talking to his mum in the next hour. it is the autumn equinox. while it will feel like it in parts of scotland and northern ireland, in england and wales, sunshine. the forecast here on breakfast. eastenders actor brian conley is not what he seems — he's with us later to reveal his true identity. doof doof! i'll get you proper ones for later. our top story. boris johnson's hopes for securing a comprehensive free trade deal with the us appear to be fading after president biden downplayed the issue after their face—to—face meeting at the white house downing street said there was a very positive atmosphere between the two leaders, but the president also issued a fresh warning to mrjohnson that peace in northern ireland must not be jeopardised as a result of the complications caused by brexit. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports from washington dc. side by side, borisjohnson's visit to the most famous political office in the world finally took place. the president regaling him first with stories of the american railroad. i travel more on amtrak. if i were a conductor, i would be number one on seniority. it was far from just a friendly chat. the two men hailing working together on security, on travel, on climate. but on trade, the us isn't ready to speed towards a deal with the uk. and the us president was clear on his concerns about northern ireland. on the deal with the uk, that's continued to be discussed. but on the protocols, i feel very strongly about those. and i would not at all like to see, nor, i might add, would many of my republican colleagues like to see, a change in the irish courts and the end result having a closed border again. republican colleagues like to see, a change in the irish accords and the end result having a closed border again. for no 10, though, the white house visit was third day lucky on this trip, describing the atmosphere of the talks as very positive, saying the relationship between the new neighbours at the white house and the uk is making great strides forward. this is a very important trip for us in the uk and we have seen some great progress just in the last period. the ban has been lifted on british beef and the people of the united states of america can eat british beef. and we are working on the lamb. finally, after two years, borisjohnson has had his moment in the white house as the uk prime minister. on this muggy washington evening, the atmosphere inside the oval office was warm. the two men agree on many things, particularly their commitment to tackling climate change. but there is a sense, still, this is a relationship in its early days, not yet an established friendship. the prime minister still has one day on this side of the atlantic. the situation he'll face at home could give him more cause for concern. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, at the white house. the commercial production of carbon dioxide for use in the food and drink industry is set to resume after the government reached a deal to cover a manufacturer's operating costs, for a limited time. it comes after a warning that rising gas prices could lead to a shortage of goods on the shelves. our chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now. it is crisis averted for three weeks at least because the government will give taxpayers' money to the company cf fertiliser for that period so they can reopen one factory, on deeside, so it can make fertiliser again, one of which the by—product is carbon dioxide which is massively neededin is carbon dioxide which is massively needed in all parts of the supply chain, particularly in the food industry. that is three weeks of time the government has bought but i wonder if there will still be pressure on the area because one factory looks like it will still be closed and then there's the question of what happens in three weeks, because no one thinks the price of wholesale gas will decrease in that period. the government said it short—term, time—limited and exceptional and i do not think they are in the mood for doing any long—term bailout. officials in government departments were looking at linkages in the economy to work out if other areas were vulnerable and i wonder if they have identified any other firms that might find themselves in trouble. it looks like more energy firms are on the verge of going bust because of the cost of the gas they are buying to supply us is going up. they are struggling to meet costs, which means more people will have to transfer from their energy provider to a new one, a process that happens automatically. people do not have to do anything but might notice bills going up which could increase pressure on the government and prime minister when he returns from america.— government and prime minister when he returns from america. adam, thank ou. we he returns from america. adam, thank you- we will — he returns from america. adam, thank you. we will speak _ he returns from america. adam, thank you. we will speak to _ he returns from america. adam, thank you. we will speak to the _ you. we will speak to the environment secretary in about 20 minutes about those issues. years of repeated human errors and outdated technology led to an estimated £1 billion worth of state pensions being underpaid to more than 100,000 people. a report by the national audit office into failures at the department for work and pensions found problems mainly affecting women dating back to the 1980s. the department says it's dedicating significant resources to correcting the errors and that it's improved staff training to ensure it doesn't happen again. earlier on breakfast, the former pensions minister steve webb had this advice for those who think they might have been underpaid. they should be traced by dwp, for example, when people are still alive, and they are on the government system. the problem is that where people have died more than four years ago, so in that situation, there is nobody on the computer, the government is not going to phone you up, so if you have still got paper records, bank statements and so on, and you think you might have been underpaid, gather the material and contact the department. it's a challenge because ideally the government would be phoning you but because over four years after someone dies they destroy the records, those records are now gone. the government's taking legal action to try to stop climate change protesters targeting major motorways. it's after several days of disruption on the m25. the group, insulate britain, says it wants to draw attention to the need for better home insulation, but police say protesting on a busy motorway causes a very high risk of injury or death. police have confirmed that a body found in a us national park is that of missing blogger gabby petito. the 22—year—old had been visiting wyoming with her fiance, brian laundrie, who police are currently searching for. he's considered a "person of interest" in the case. the charity commission is investigating a former marine's mission to bring rescue animals from afghanistan to the uk, following the taliban's takeover. the regulator said it was looking into the funding arrangements of operation ark, which was launched by pen farthing and raised more than £200,000 in just a few days. the charity says it acted correctly. the footballer and food campaigner marcus rashford is set to find a new type of stardom — on the school syllabus. some students starting gcse media studies this autumn will learn about how the striker used his high profile to influence the world beyond football. here's our education editor branwen jeffreys. marcus rashford has become an outspoken campaigner on food poverty, raising money for charity, putting pressure on ministers over free school meals, sharing, with bbc breakfast, how he relied on them as a boy. all this led to an honour from the queen for speaking up for vulnerable children. but now, recognition of a different kind as his social campaigning becomes part of gcse media studies. i think lots of people see social media as quite a negative side, and this is how it can be used to really make change and do good. they will study not just his food campaigning, but also how the footballer dealt with racism in sport, weathering abuse after missing his penalty at the euro 2020 final. and the public support when the mural in his home town was defaced. gcse media studies is a barometer of social change. marcus rashford is a role model for many children. so he is replacing zoe sugg. known to millions as zoella, she has gone from teen influencer to appealing more to mums. now you can learn how to use social media in a positive way. you did a lot of work with him. i wonder if bbc breakfast will be on the syllabus. i was surprised to find myself in that piece. your own children could learn about you at school. i do not think that would go down well. before we get the weather from matt, let's see how the sky is looking over london it looks like independence day. isn't that a disaster movie? it does not like that at all! good morning, the autumn equinox, the last sunrise of summer. in england and wales feeling more like summer but scotland and northern ireland, the first hint of something autumnal. wet weather confined to the far north—west of scotland with heavy rain spreading into orkney and shetland and the highlands and that will spread southward smartly this morning so things will brighten up in the north and west in the afternoon. cloudy in southern parts of scotland and northern ireland with rain edging closer later. england and wales should be dry and bright. we should be about 17 but up to 22 quite widely. feeling cooler in the north of scotland. a blustery day with wind gusting up to 40 mph. rain in aberdeen, glasgow, and to northern ireland. most places go into the evening drive. it should be a dry school pick up in england and wales. feeling warm when the sunshine is out. rain pushing southwards overnight but frequent showers, may be thundery at times in the north of scotland. feeling cooler here tomorrow with sunshine at times. further south, mild and warm. it's more than two years since 19—year—old harry dunn died after he was knocked off his motorbike by a car driven by a us citizen. since then, his family have campaigned for the woman behind the wheel — anne sacoolas — to face criminal charges after she fled the country. now they say they've reached a "real milestone" after reaching a civil settlement in the us. we're nowjoined by harry's mum, charlotte charles, and the family's spokesman radd seiger. good morning. charlotte, now this agreement has been reached, does it feel like

when i was probably four years old and i think my mum and dad noticed and they took me to a speech and language professional. _ iand they were informed that a loti of people who stammer at that age won't stammer into adulthood. we're nowjoined by the head of the michael palin centre for stammering, elaine kelman. good morning. you can see that people are feeling more anxious because of the situation we have been living in and if you already have vulnerability and may be a slight stammer, any level of anxiety will make it worse. you slight stammer, any level of anxiety will make it worse.— slight stammer, any level of anxiety will make it worse. you have noticed a chance. will make it worse. you have noticed a change. absolutely. _ will make it worse. you have noticed a change. absolutely. the _ will make it worse. you have noticed a change. absolutely. the first - a change. absolutely. the first thing i should say is not because anxiety causes stammering, that is something that happens because of a neurodevelopmental condition, something in your brain, and anxiety can affect it. what happened with the pandemic and lockdown and all the pandemic and lockdown and all the changes meant lots of people got more anxious and parents particularly got anxious about children who started to stammer, were already stammering and started to stammer more, so they rang us up to stammer more, so they rang us up to talk through their worries. from our to talk through their worries. from your figures. _ to talk through their worries. from your figures, speaking _ to talk through their worries. from your figures, speaking to -

what is the advice? the first thing we say to a parent is it is not - what is the advice? the first thing we say to a parent is it is not your fault. parents are quick to blame themselves and think they have done something wrong. it is never caused by parents and a child stammering war is not because of a parent doing anything wrong, which we need to reassure parents. the other thing is to talk to parents about the things they have noticed supporting their child. if the child does better when they are just having a quiet one—to—one conversation, do more of that if you can. doing things like making sure the child is well rested and talking to the child about what is happening to their speech. parents think do not mention it in case, you know, it draws my child's attention to it and makes it worse. the best thing is to get it in the open and say, you are having trouble, don't worry, you did well, keep going. keep listening and talking to their children and encouraging them to listen and talk. and building up the child's confidence. a lot of people have a knock to their confidence and a confident child who stammers will be just fine. iii confident child who stammers will be 'ust fine. , ., ., ., , just fine. in terms of role models, we will speak— just fine. in terms of role models, we will speak to _ just fine. in terms of role models, we will speak to hayley _ just fine. in terms of role models, we will speak to hayley later. -

"tue: reason i say it will be modest is that carbon dioxide is a critical ingredient for some sectors of the food industry but it is a very small part of the overall costs. although the price of carbon dioxide might go up the price of carbon dioxide might go up severalfold to ensure that the production can continue, it's a very small part of their costs. costs like labour, rent, logistics, fuel for the lorries to run, that is all the more significant. you are talking about a significant rise in cost of carbon dioxide but that is a tiny proportion of the overall cost of the average shopping basket. can ou of the average shopping basket. can you guarantee that this will be sorted in three weeks and we will not be having this chat again in a couple of mondays time? hate not be

problem to make sure there is not a gap in supply which would then have severe consequences for our food supply chain. but we are only here for a limited period of time it is ultimately for the markets to adjust. in sectors like carbon dioxide, the market does not always function as well as it should, and you get these issues, the capital that goes into a chemical plant to manufacture carbon dioxide and fertiliser is huge so it tends to be an industry dominated by a relatively small number of big players so there is less resilience than you would have in a sector where you would have

why we have various interventions to help people with their energy costs, the energy price caps for instance, 15 million people benefit from that. other additional warm homes allowances that will give additional money to those in greatest need, £150 per year. we have interventions on food, to support people who are in, finding it difficult to afford food. we have lots of those interventions but it is also the case that average wages are rising and in particular wages for those people in sectors who traditionally have been on minimum wage, or the national living wage or close to it, also seeing that wages rise faster than they have before and that is going to help them get through some of these extra cost pressures on the household income. fin of these extra cost pressures on the household

with 60 other countries around the world and even with the us, even though we don't have a comprehensive trade agreement on tariffs at the moment, we have made some important breakthroughs on things

bilateral agreements with 60 countries. it's the choice of the united states that for the biden administration, trade deals are not administration, trade deals are not a priority at the moment. and the important thing with any trade agreement is to get the detail of it right, not necessarily to put any timescale on it or be in a particular rush. we would like to be in a trade deal with the

morning. a sunny start to the autumn equinox today, a beautiful sunrise on the north—east coast of england. whilst we are heading into autumn, certainly astronomically speaking, the weather still feels like summer. this is the longest instrumental temperature series in the world, stretching back to 1659, it is over three degrees above normal, if it keeps that way, it will be the warmest september on record. it has been an unbelievably warm month so far. for some it is starting to feel like autumn, rein in the north west of scotland, heavy rain through the highlands and islands. that will head south, turning lighter through the day as it heads into central scotland, north and west northern ireland in the afternoon. sky is brightening in the afternoon. sky is brightening in the north of scotland. england and wales, whilst there is cloud, the rest of the sunshine will be central and eastern areas. with the wind is light, it will feel warm. we could have gusts up to 30 to 40 mph in some areas, though, in northern scotland. wednesday evening and overnight, scales and severe gales developing in northern scotland. rain getting into the southern highlands but much of the rest of the country will see thicker cloud, patchy rain and drizzle working self, keeping temperatures higher than last night. there windy spell is from this area of low pressure which is pushing towards norway, easing away but allowing a slight incursion of colder air to the north. with some sunshine, it is going to feel chilly at times. the strength of the wind is easing through the day. further rain and drizzle at times, the cloud breaking up drizzle at times, the cloud breaking up in northern ireland, england and wales, a bit more cloud in the south—west with patchy drizzle first thing. but another dry day for many, sunny spells, temperatures no higher than 23. the winds are turning southerly into the weekend so we will maintain the warmer feel. on friday, more rain in the north and west. cloud in western areas throughout friday but central and eastern areas will have a dry and sunny day once again, even further north, aberdeen is 22 degrees, certainly possible. into the next few days, things will stay warm but it is the autumn equinox today. the keen eyed amongst you may notice that we are not quite at equal day and night yet due to the curvature of the earth, the embassy effect as well, it won't be until later —— the atmosphere effect as well, it will not be until later in the week when the night duration will overtake the day and that is the equinox. it is autumnal

opening two matches for the new head coach, sabino rickman. they were facing lower opposition —— sarina wiegman. all four home nations won last night and you don't say that very often. ten for england against luxembourg last night and big wins for scotland, northern ireland and a great win for wales too. jo currie reports. when you're facing a team ranked 114 places beneath you, surely it's a case of not if you'll win but by how many. and it didn't take long for the gulf in quality to show. ellen white had to stretch with the opener. wonderfulfinish. and just five minutes later she got their second to send the lionesses well on their way and move her to within three goals of equalling england's goal scoring record. the visitors added two more before the break. sarina wiegman's second game in charge going very much to plan. in the second half, a screamer of an effort from alex greenwood. a centre back scoring a centre forward's goal. her second of the night, the perfect way to mark her 50th cap. her centre back partner millie bright then added two more before this poignant moment from rachel daly, scoring just one week on from the death of her father, the emotion clear to see. there won't be a more popular goal—scorer. england made it ten before the full—time whistle to sign off an emphatic win in luxembourg. the world cup may be two years away but next year northern ireland will play in the euros. their first ever major tournament. meaning this qualifying campaign is about wins and international experience. after a frustrating first half they went on to win comfortably, it ended 4—0 against latvia. rachel furness wrapping up proceedings from the spot. the women's first game at windsor park in nine years ending with new fans made. wales shot out of the blocks away to estonia. in towards harding! it's only taken four minutes. but that is where the momentum ended. they found the net again but this effort was ruled offside. the win though and the three points were all that mattered. the goals of the night however belonged to scotland. erin cuthbert launching a rocket to put them ahead at home to the faroe islands while claire emslie matched that with this sensational free—kick to secure a 7—1win. a great night all round for the home nations. jo currie, bbc news. lots of goals too and a couple of upsets in the third round of the league cup last night. liverpool beating norwich in the all premier league encounter at carrow road. the top flight�*s bottom side were no match for liverpool. takumi minamino put them ahead early on, before divock origi headed home in the second half. minamino then got his second late on to seal their place in the fourth round. everton were knocked out as were watford. you can see the full list of results on the bbc sport website. hungary will play next month's world cup qualifier against albania behind closed doors. it follows the racist behaviour of their fans against england in budapest earlier this month, which also saw objects thrown on the pitch. england women missed the chance to wrap up their one day series with two games to spare, losing to new zealand. leah tahuhu taking five english wickets, as england made 178 before losing by three wickets. katherine brunt contributing 49 to that total. but tahuhu threw the series wide open hitting the winning six for the visitors. signs again that andy murray is certainly not giving up yet, winning his opening match at the moselle open in france. he beat the world number 26 ugo humbert in three sets, the highest ranked player he's defeated this season to set up a second round tie with canada's vasek pospisil. european ryder cup captain padraig harrington has been illustarting just how special playing in the tournament is. just 164 players

to put it into context. 570 people have been into space, i think over 5000 people have climbed everest, 225 have won a men's major. so when you sort of break it down like that, it's a pretty small group and it's pretty cool. he is ready, i'm sure the rest of the team. i wonder if he has adopted this warm up? how about somejuggling from oleksander usyk as he prepares for his world heavyweight

paralympics but now the question is is the future of swimming now under threat? and it is the autumn equinox with cloud making it feel like autumn in parts of scotland and northern ireland but for many, a sense of summer with sunny spells and feeling warm. it's wednesday the 22nd of september. boris johnson's hopes for securing a comprehensive free trade deal with the us appear to be fading after president biden downplayed the issue after their face—to—face meeting at the white house downing street said there was a very positive atmosphere between the two leaders, but the president also issued a fresh warning to mrjohnson that peace in northern ireland must not be jeopardised as a result of the complications caused by brexit. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports from washington dc. side by side, borisjohnson's visit to the most famous political office in the world finally took place. the president regaling him first with stories of the american railroad. i travel more on amtrak. if i were a conductor, i would be number one on seniority. it was far from just a friendly chat. the two men hailing working together on security, on travel, on climate. but on trade, the us isn't ready to speed towards a deal with the uk. and the us president was clear on his concerns about northern ireland. on the deal with the uk, that's continued to be discussed. but on the protocols, i feel very strongly about those. and i would not at all like to see, nor, i might add, would many of my republican colleagues like to see, a change in the irish accords and the end result having a closed border again. for no 10, though, the white house visit was third day lucky on this trip, describing the atmosphere of the talks as very positive, saying the relationship between the new neighbours at the white house and the uk is making great strides forward. this is a very important trip for us in the uk and we have seen some great progress just in the last period. it's good that the ban has been lifted on british beef and the people of the united states of america can eat british beef. and we are working on lamb, too. and the lamb! we are working on the lamb. finally, after two years, borisjohnson has had his moment in the white house as the uk prime minister. on this muggy washington evening, the atmosphere inside the oval office was warm. the two men agree on many things, particularly their commitment to tackling climate change. but there is a sense, still, this is a relationship in its early days, not yet an established friendship. the prime minister still has one day on this side of the atlantic. the situation he'll face at home could give him more cause for concern. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, at the white house. the commercial production of carbon dioxide for use in the food and drink industry is set to resume after the government reached a deal to cover a manufacturer's operating costs, for a limited time. it comes after a warning that rising gas prices could lead to a shortage of goods on the shelves. our chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now. no doubt listening to george eustice earlier. the most important thing, he said if there are food price rises at the end of this they would be modest. he rises at the end of this they would be modest-— rises at the end of this they would be modest. ,, ., , ., , ., be

result of all the changes in the industry - be modest. he did say as a result of all the changes in the industry and l all the changes in the industry and gas price and what is happening with c02 the price of carbon dioxide for co2 the price of carbon dioxide for businesses will go up by quite a lot in the next weeks. but he said because the price of carbon dioxide is such a small part of the price of goods, the rest of us will not really notice that, although he did suggest there are factors that could make shopping go up in price anyway. the reason this crisis is averted is the government will give taxpayers' money to the fertiliser company for three weeks so they can get production running again. and george eustice explained why the government had no choice but to enter into the bailout. unless we were to take this action this week, we would have had to supply chain issues for poultry in particular by the beginning of next week and no government can allow that to happen. have you avoided those supply chain issues now, at least for the next three weeks? is that what your feedback is telling you? yes, we believe we have. so there will be no shortage of food on the shelves? no, so we've acted expeditiously in an urgent way to do what was necessary to ensure we have the carbon dioxide we needed to keep the food supply chain moving. he seemed pretty confident supplies of carbon dioxide will stabilise. the industry will be able to sort itself out. you wonder are there other links in the supply chain that could come out and surprise us? and we might be having this conversation about a different firm. and then you have the labour party trying to wrap up have the labour party trying to wrap up this stuff about carbon dioxide, gas bills, universal credit being reduced into a big cost of living crisis for the government, a crisis the government says is not happening as far as they are concerned. thanks. years of repeated human errors and outdated technology led to an estimated £1 billion worth of state pensions being underpaid to more than 100,000 people. a report by the national audit office into failures at the department for work and pensions found problems dating back to the 1980s. here's our business reporter, sarah corker. for nearly a decade, irene from worcestershire was underpaid her state pension. she is one of thousands of women in their 70s and 80s that missed out on large sums of money because of government errors. i think it's scandalous. i think that the fact that you have to battle for something that's rightfully yours is awful, because i was lucky, i have got richard to help me. but anybody who is a widow, perhaps not financially up with it, and they're perhaps struggling on the breadline, it could make a tremendous difference. irene has now been paid the £7,000 she was owed, but it was a battle and she's far from alone. these errors relate to married women who had small state pensions. they were eligible to claim 60% of their husband's contributions. but complex rules and errors by the dwp meant that for decades, they were underpaid. the errors date back to 1985, affecting an estimated 134,000 pensioners, including some married women, widows and the over 80s. they are collectively owed more than £1 billion. the national audit office found there were repeated human errors over many years at the department for work and pensions, blamed on complex pension rules and unautomated, outdated it systems. most of the people affected are going to be women, not all, but most — 90% of those that take this type of state pension uplifts are women. and unfortunately, i'm afraid, many of them will have died before they received the money that they are owed. so actually, in a significant minority of cases, this is money that will actually go to their next of kin. the department for work and pensions said it is fully committed to ensuring the historical errors made by successive governments are corrected, and it's improved training to make sure it doesn't happen again. a team of 500 civil servants is now working to trace women like irene who were short—changed. but it will take years to complete. sarah corker, bbc news. as sarah was saying, in the vast majority of cases, the dwp say they will contact anyone impacted by this issue to make sure they receive the money they are owed. but in a small number of cases, family members of those who might have been underpaid but have passed away more than four years ago, will need to contact the dwp. the mother of harry dunn has told bbc breakfast she's a step closer to justice after reaching a civil settlement with the us citizen alleged to have killed him. the teenager was knocked off his motorbike by a car driven by anne sacoolas in northamptonshire two years ago. since then, his family have campaigned for her to face criminal charges after she left the uk. it's been a really hard slog, the past couple of years, having both the civil case and criminal case almost running parallel to one another, to be honest. so it is a big relief that one part of it is done and we can now forge ahead and work with the cps and trust the cps to bring the criminal case to a resolution. the government's taking legal action to try to stop climate change protesters targeting major motorways. it's after several days of disruption on the m25. the group, insulate britain, says it wants to draw attention to the need for better home insulation, but police say protesting on a busy motorway causes a very high risk of injury or death. some news just breaking in the last few minutes — a man has been charged with the murders of 3 children and a woman in derbyshire. the bodies of 13—year old john paul bennett, 11—year old lacey bennett, their mother terri harris, and lacey's friend connie gent, who was also 11 — were found on sunday. the footballer and food campaigner marcus rashford is set to find a new type of stardom — on the school syllabus. some students starting gcse media studies this autumn will learn about how the striker used his high profile to help provide healthy meals to disadvantaged young people. last year he was awarded an mbe for services to vulnerable children during the pandemic. here's matt with a look at the weather. that is a very soothing picture behind you. yes a beautiful

quadrupled in the last ten years. applications for court orders which transfer legal parentage from the surrogate to the intended parents increased from 117 in 2011 to a13 in 2020. the research, from the university of kent and a surrogacy matching agency also found that most applicants were mixed six couples. breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin reports. let me introduce three families. my name's natalie, i'm 31! and a first—time surrogate. each with their own journey into surrogacy. hi, i'm carina. i'm 41 years old and i'm a mum of four beautiful children, each born through surrogacy following a breast cancer diagnosis. each have given or received perhaps the greatest gift there could ever be. this is fran. fran is mum to grace. and this is gina and gina - was grace's tummy mummy. the gift of a brand—new life — or three. carina's journey might have begun with a near—fatal health condition, but it's brought her, joyfully, right here. all: we are the damons! so ena was my very first surrogate who gave birth to my daughter amala, and laura was my second surrogate, who gave birth to the triplets for me. and, you know, those women transformed my life. they made me a mum. they gave me something that many medics told me would never be possible. and, you know, they made my dreams come true. and for them, i'm for ever grateful. they are a small part of a growing number of surrogate children. a report shown exclusively to the bbc shows the number of parents having a baby using a surrogate in england and wales has almost quadrupled in the last ten years. from 117 in 2011 to over 400 last year. for carina and also for frances, finding a surrogate was life—changing. when you're given a cancer diagnosis, your whole life just changes in seconds and it's like you just fall into this hole. and then when evelyn was born, who was the first one, it felt like the first time since that diagnosis — sorry — this weight had been lifted. there was no handing over. it wasjust all four of us being in the room, part of a wonderful birth. and ijust watched a family being created, literally in front of my eyes. almost felt like i was encroaching on their moment — of the beginning of their family. it was beautiful. the girls saved my life. but almost 40 years ago, surrogacy was viewed with suspicion. months after britain's first surrogate baby was born, so, too, were the very first surrogacy laws. today, those laws are under review. only altruistic surrogacy is allowed here. surrogates can't advertise and they can't charge a fee — only expenses. carina paid around £75,000 in expenses for her family. because there isn't an actual legal framework that surrogacy operates within, there's a heck of a lot of trust that's needed. and the classic thing is people always say, what if she keeps your baby? but one thing that ena said to me, and it really opened my eyes with regards to the law and the way it stands, she said, my biggest fear is what if you don't take your baby? because, legally, i'm that child's mum. so there are two sides to every coin here. the end of natalie's surrogacy journey is now weeks away. she and husband jack already have two children, but her surrogacy dream was born out of the heartbreak of having a stillborn daughter. i always try and take positives from any situation. planning to bring my own home and not doing that was the hardest thing that i've ever had to do. but to have somebody else's baby that isn't genetically linked to me at all, for them to worship and love and cherish is a positive thing that's come out of a very negative, dark period. this was the embryo. these were the tests. and this — well, this is the very moment she broke the news to her intended parents, andy and gareth. i'm excited, i can't wait. the best part about being pregnant is not the stresses. i don't have to worry about what i haven't got or what i need to get, you know, all these things. i honestly cannot wait to see their faces. i have said if they don't cry, i might punch them. it was a concern for me that, at the end of the process, how nat would feel handing the baby over. but now, meeting the guys and getting to know them, no, that's not a concern for me at all, because, like nat said, we get to sort of share in the joy that they get. all of these families agree that current laws need reform, but all agree there is no greater gift than parenthood. parenthood, to me, means the ability to nurture, create and grow your child in any way, shape orform. unconditional love from the moment they're in your arms. i wasn't able to do the first nine months of their life. but i'll be here for the rest of their lives. as long as you love them, that's all you need, really. we're nowjoined on the sofa by michaeljohnson—ellis

have also been recorded. danjohnson is there for us this morning. what is the situation now? good morning. a fourth day of eruptions. the volcano keeps on rumbling and spewing out lava. probably the most calm we have seen it this morning, not as fierce the past three days, but it never stops and no one can do anything to stop or control the lava flowing down the hillside. it has scorched landscape with a black scar across the landscape. the lava touches set on fire and is burned or buried by the volume of the lava. it has been a spectacular display. these are nature's fireworks and some of nature's strongest forces at work but doing huge damage notjust to the landscape but to villages and homes. we saw a village right down at the bottom of the lava flow being evacuated with people given the chance to grab last things and get to safety before their homes were engulfed. it is distressing to see that because people are leaving home is behind knowing they will never be able to go back, even buildings that are not destroyed by the lava will probably be cut off or in such a dangerous position, they will have to be abandoned. this is a big issue for the future of those communities and how this island recovers. thank ou ve and how this island recovers. thank you very much _ and how this island recovers. thank you very much indeed. _ you very much indeed. extraordinary pictures there. incredible. time now to get the news travel where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. time is running out to design and deliver euston station as part of the hs2 high speed rail link. that's accroding to the public accounts committee. the mps says there is uncertainty around the design and old oak common in north west london may become the final stop on the line. the department for transport says it hopes to report on progress this autumn. a man in his 30s has died after being stabbed in east london. police were called to the isle of dogs at around 8.30 last night following reports of a group of men fighting. in a separate incident a man in his 20s was shot dead in north london. two other men were injured in the incident in green lanes, so far no—one's been arrested. the family of a woman from brentford who died from covid—19 have created a cookbook to try and keep her memory alive. sabeen mansoor died last february after spending seven weeks on a ventilator. she was passionate about cooking and so her husband and son have put together a book of her favourite recipes as a way of honoring her. the smell is just unbelievable. it brings to mind us running down and seeing if the dish is ready, because when sabeen used to make it, the whole house used to smell so beautiful. unfortunately, now, we can never have food from her hands, but what we're trying to do is to try to keep the whole heritage and whole family thing alive. let's have a look at the travel situation this morning. on the tubes, there are severe delays on the dlr and the metropolitan line. on the roads, drivers on the m25 in kent and essex have been facing disruptionjust after the dartford tunnel after what was decribed as a medical emergency. there are 90 minute delays with tailbacks to orpington, and also long queues into london on the a2. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it is set to be another decent day of weather today across the capital. above average temperatures once more for this time of year. it will stay dry and there will be quite a bit of sunshine around as well. it's been a chilly start to this morning, some of our temperatures rurally have dropped back into single figures. and there is a bit of mist around as well but it's not terribly widespread or extensive. that will lift and clear as we head through the morning. there will be some sunshine emerging, perhaps a little bit more cloud through the afternoon than we saw yesterday but staying dry. top temperatures in the best of the sunshine this afternoon hitting 21 to 23 celsius in a few more favoured spots. a bit more of a noticeable westerly wind blowing too. as we head through this evening and overnight, we've got cloud edging down from the north—west. that will keep the temperatures largely in double figures so lows of around ten or 11 celsius. as we start the day on thursday, there could be a few spits and spots of drizzle. certainly a lot of cloud around through the morning, and then that cloud will clear to leave us with a dry and sunny afternoon. top temperatures around 22 celsius, maybe 23 again by the time we get to friday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back to dan and sally. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. morning

community, you only want to talk about what car they drive and how much money they have. the work that they have done is outstanding. they come from some of the most deprived communities in the country, football players, they don't come from knightsbridge or hampstead, they come from barrow and dudley and bury, and communities like that. they understand that and they are grounded and their families are still in those areas and they want to see people do well. you can enjoy the good life but still want to have everyone else have a good and equal opportunity. everyone else have a good and

difference is, when footballers make mistakes, they will put their hand up mistakes, they will put their hand up and say they got it wrong and thatis up and say they got it wrong and that is the difference between a football player and a politician. you have worked with marcus rashford, the striker we have worked with marcus rashford, and we said, you are going to get a lot of grief for this, a criticism, are you ready for this, a criticism, are you ready for it? he said, absolutely. wear your —— were footballers of your generation not able to be so vocal? they were criticised, if you remember david beckham getting criticised when he came back after a world cup incident. politicians have started to take football players on in the last few years, i don't think they will do it in the future because they are losing the battle enormously. people accept that when they are watching a football player, they are watching a football player, they are watching a football player, they are paid well but to a also feel like they are just a young lad feel like they are just a young [ad from a normal town who have achieved their dreams. when i look at people in parliament, i don't recognise them, they are not connected to me, they would not be in football stadiums. marcus rashford is resilient and robust and he can handle the criticism that comes his way, but it is crazy that we are criticising raheem sterling, marcus rashford, for that work, i don't know where it comes from. you could argue, they would tell you a story, but ultimately it is wrong. they are doing great

we won't talk to gary about this! let's talk to nina instead! honestly, gary, this is a salford brewery, you are from salford, you should be interested! good morning, things you might recognise, the keg, sacks of malt, the tins that the beer will end up in, but this is what everyone is talking about at the moment, carbon dioxide. that was a full tank but it is swiftly reducing. i want to show you how important carbon dioxide is for this one small business and then think about that replicated up and down the country. this is matt and harry, good morning. they are taking these cans, the carbon dioxide goes in these little pipes, and that basically purges the cams of any oxygen which makes the deer go off, so that is crucial. these are the fermenters, it is a similar process from the mould and water goes into these big tankers, they have to be purged of oxygen. that makes sure the beer stays fresh. and then it is used to carbonate liquid and it is used to carbonate liquid and it is used to carbonate liquid and it is used to push the beer out of the pump at the pub. it is a vital part of so many businesses. let's remind ourselves why there has been so much tension around the production of carbon dioxide and the access to it. we have been talking this week about the problems around the wholesale gas supply which impact providers pay for gas, that has more than doubled since january and prices have got so high that some industries could not afford to function. one of those businesses is cf industries, one of the by—products of the fertiliser business is carbon dioxide, and then they sell that to the uk, so when they sell that to the uk, so when they struggle, so does the market beyond them. the carbon dioxide was used in fizzy drinks, meat and salad packaging, and one industry group warned within a few days if a deal wasn't struck with cf industries, we would be seeing shortages on the shelves. the deal was struck last night, a multi—million pound bailout for the business so that co2 can remain in the market. it's a three—week market, —— three—week deal, there is an expectation that there will be a three day lag before production can resume so it is an anxious time. this is keith, one of the seven brothers, and the four sisters who don't get a mention! your co2 tank is empty and fast? yes, we have between two and four weeks supply. last night's decision or the bailout deal could not have come any sooner. a three—day delay could have had major impacts on the business. could have had ma'or impacts on the business. ., g �*

reliability in the elements that make up their business and they are not getting it. and that volatility is set to continue as a come out of the pandemic and ultimately for the consumers, it will not be a surprise that it will be impacting us through lack of availability and also an increase in prices. the government saying we will get over it as we get into the winter but it could be a long and expensive winter ahead. thank you, i have a feeling we will be talking about this in future. let's get a final look at the weather with matt. quite a nice bit of weather on the way, what's happening?

2030. jane nickerson says the issue has been intensified by covid and she's calling for extra investment. joe wilson reports. marshall street baths were built for victorian london. preserved, improved and still used, exceptional. the big picture is bleak. swimming pools everywhere desperately need refurbishment or replacement, say swim england. it's a thing that keeps me absolutely awake at night. we know that by the end of this decade, we could lose 40% of our pool stock. that's 2000 swimming pools. put that in context, that's millions of people that will lose out doing this wonderful, wonderful activity, which is brilliant for everybody. covid has accelerated the especially with local authorities and the huge financial pressure. over 200 pools which closed in england alone during the pandemic haven't yet reopened. and yet in the summer, all this. we could get two medals, and can they be gold and silver? great britain's best ever swimming olympics, eight medals there. three times that number in the pool in the paralympics. what happened in tokyo began locally. northamptonshire's maisie summers—newton started swimming because there was a pool five minutes from her home. i always come back happy because it is my thing that i love, and i know so many people across the uk, no matter what age you are, ijust know that they enjoy it and that's the main thing. as long as you enjoy your sport. so i think without that, they mightjust feel a bit lost and some people won't have another sport to relate to, swimming is so good for them. and a deep breath for the financial reality. to restore the sport's facilities, swim england's request, £1 billion of central government funding. joe wilson, bbc news. over the past 18 months on breakfast, you'll remember we've been following the journeys of doddie weir, rob burrow and stephen darby, three former sports stars all living with motor neurone disease. they've become key campaigners, raising awareness of the incurable illness that afects up to 5,000 people in the uk. yesterday rob and stephen went to downing street, to deliver a letter calling for more funding for the condition. brea kfast�*s zoe conway was with them. a picture of dignity, courage and determination. stephen darby is handing in a petition calling on the government to put £50 million into research to fund new treatments for motor neurone disease. commentator: stephen darby, what a challenge this was. - this former professional footballer was diagnosed with it three years ago. it is such a brutal disease, its progress normally so rapid, that he is fortunate it has not yet taken away the use of his legs or his power of speech. what was going through your mind when you were standing in front of that door? really, where everything is at the minute. the hard work that has gone in from notjust everyone here today, but the support that we've had from hundreds and thousands of people. i can't thank them enough for their support. the other sports star here is former rugby league player rob burrow. at his side, his greatest champion, his father geoff, who came down to london with him from yorkshire. it must have been a bit of an ordeal to come down today. was it worth it? more than worth it. it was an ordeal, but a good ordeal. it has been marvellous. i never thought i would be... rob and myself would be outside 10 downing st. let's hope the petition works and makes a difference. the prime minister is not here. he is in new york. if he was here, what would you say to him? what this will mean to mnd sufferers and great hope — we are now on the brink of a meaningful treatment, so we need to get funds to help prolong life and find a cure. their friend, the former rugby union player doddie weir, should have been here, too, but he had to abandon his journey down after being pinged for being in contact with someone with covid. it is notjust the government they have been lobbying. there were meetings with prominent politicians, including the speaker of the house of commons, lindsay hoyle. thanks for what you do. you are getting the profile there and that is what really, really matters. and if anyone is going to fight, you are the fighter. you have been a champion all your life. keep it coming. the motor neurone disease association hopes that if the government finds £50 million in the budget this autumn, they can double it to 100 million with donations from charities and business. we need to fund motor neurone disease research all the way from understanding what causes it right at the very beginning, all the way through to developing new drugs and then testing those in patients. so those three components, that is called the translational pipeline, that whole pipeline of work is an expensive thing to do. is it a complete moonshot, this project? it is partly a moonshot, but, actually now is the time to do it, because we are making huge advances in motor neurone disease. usually, i have less than one clinical trial to offer my patients a year. right now, i've got about ten. what these campaigners achieved was surely more than make the case for funding. they inspired. as rob burrow likes to say, motor neurone disease might rob them of their legs, their voices and perhaps, one day, their ability to breathe, but it will never take away their spirit. zoe conway, bbc news. a
