of watford. good morning. today we have torrential rain and gusty winds around across parts of england and wales. the brightest conditions across northern and western scotland and northern ireland. all the details later in the programme. it's tuesday the 5th of october. our top story. facebook has apologised after three of its social media platforms — including whatsapp and instagram — were unavailable for almost six hours. billions of users were affected worldwide, and the company says the outage was caused by a technical failure. our north america technology reporter, james clayton, reports. the number of people that use facebook and its spin—offs whatsapp and instagram is nothing short of staggering — 3.5 billion people across the world, including tens of thousands of businesses. still, when something goes wrong, it goes very wrong. in a statement released early on tuesday morning, facebook said... the outage was said to have caused mayhem in facebook�*s headquarters here in silicon valley, as technicians scrambled to work out what was going on. facebook was losing over £100,000 a minute and its share price fell. mark zuckerberg personally lost around £4 billion. most of these kinds of outages last for around an hour. what made this so unusual was how long it took to fix. and the scale of it, too. the outage wasn't localised, it was global, affecting users across the world. you might see... this couldn't have happened at a worse time for facebook. today a whistle—blower who used to work for facebook, frances haugen, will tell us politicians that facebook�*s own research found that instagram was dangerous to teenagers�* mental health. a bad week for the social network is getting worse by the day. james clayton, bbc news, san francisco. we will try to find out more on during the programme about what caused it and how they can prevent it happening again. news here this morning... the home secretary will unveil new powers today for courts in england and wales to stop protesters travelling to demonstrations. priti patel will also announce tougher sentences for obstructing motorways, when she addresses the conservative conference in manchester. thejustice secretary, dominic raab, will use his speech to say that more criminals in england and wales will be fitted with ankle tags. nick eardley reports. any worries about the cost of living, prime minister? there is a lot for borisjohnson to be thinking about this week. how to repair the economy after the pandemic. how to stop major supply disruption ahead of christmas. questions over who will be able to pay their bills overwinter. but today in manchester, senior ministers will try and shift some of the focus onto traditional tory ground — law and order. the home secretary is less than pleased about scenes like this. insulate britain activists repeatedly blocking major roads — angering many motorists — in their attempts to raise awareness of poorly insulated homes. the government has revealed plans for new court orders which would stop protesters with a history of causing disruption travelling to some protests. there are also plans to introduce tougher sentences for obstructing highways, to try and stop scenes like this. but there are significant backlogs in the court system which could make speedy action tricky. that's for the in—tray of the new justice secretary, dominic raab. he'll say today that he wants to double the number of offenders who are tagged in england and wales. he'll argue that'll make communities safer. but there are other significant challenges for this government. when it comes to the economy and the cost of living, there aren't always easy answers. nick eardley, bbc news, at the conservative party conference.

for you. see you in a moment ., ., ., the first new treatment for sickle cell disease in 20 years is be given to patients on the nhs in england. the condition is incurable, and mainly affects people from african and caribbean backgrounds. the drug involved has been described as revolutionary — and could cut visits to a&e by a0%. here's more from our community affairs correspondent, adina campbell. daily medication and monthly visits to hospital have been a normal part of sarah—jane's life ever since she was a baby. i've always been quite a smiley child. she's one of 15,000 people living with sickle cell disease in the uk. i've spent a lot of my life in hospital. just simple things i can't do sometimes, like washing myself, or, you know, brushing my teeth. i need help to do that. and i'm 27 years old. sometimes i feel like i'm living in a hundred—year—old body. but change could be on the way. hundreds of patients in england will now be offered a new drug called crizanlizumab over the next three years which could reduce the number of trips to hospital to treat severe pain. the moment that a new drug is approved to be used, ourjob is to make sure we can do a deal that makes it affordable and then get it out as quickly as possible. sickle cell disease is the world's most common genetic blood disorder. it mainly affects people from african and caribbean backgrounds. there's a one in four chance you will have the disease if both parents are carriers. the announcement of this treatment could be life—changing, reducing the number of times a sickle cell patient needs to go to a&e by a0%. but senior health campaigners say this should have happened a long time ago. people have said to our staff, "oh, this is a black person's disease. unlikely to affect me." but i think race has played a part in thinking, well, it's over there, it doesn't affect the majority population. more data is needed to find out about the drug's potential long—term benefits. medical experts will continue to collect information through clinical trials. renewed hope for sickle cell patients and their families. adina campbell, bbc news. there have been more incredible scenes

sweeping eastwards. some of it we will hang on to for much of the day. cool and windy across the north of england in particular. this band moving towards the south east corner has been torrential. it has had rumbles of thunder, some particularly heavy rain at the moment across north—east england, but you can see this swell of rain around an area of low pressure, so it will be raining for much of the day across northern england. some parts could see as much as 50 millimetres, two inches, some of it more and you can see how it extends into eastern scotland to be the day, as well. with it we are looking at some strong winds, gusting winds. if you are in high sided vehicle do take note of this. as we drifted to the north and west of scotland, northern ireland, one or two showers but a lot of dry weather, since in china. as we move through wales and southern england, when this rain clears it will brighten up and there will be a few showers. temperatures 11 to 15 degrees. through this evening and overnight, very slowly this line of rain around the area of low pressure pushes off towards the north sea. some clear skies behind, still windy around this band of rain, and cold in parts of scotland, as this morning, with temperatures this morning just below freezing for some. tomorrow morning in glasgow we are looking at three degrees. the weather tomorrow when we lose this rain, it

record high. in august they rose past 1 million for the first time since records began. construction is a massive part of that problem. vacancies are up more than 40% compared to before the pandemic and it is a little bit like hgv drivers stopped since brexit some workers have returned to their country of origin and not enough are coming through. many of them are retiring, as well. the construction sector is warning that by 2025 we will face a shortage of 200,000 vacancies in construction. that is made worse by the fact that around half a million builders will retire within that period. the biggest shortage as we understand it is for carpenters and bricklayers and this is causing real issues. adrian runs a building company in the midlands and is having to turn down work. what was here previously was a former public house, and what should be here now is 16 houses under construction but, as you can see, we've made a start but very little else is happening. the government has obviously set some really strong housing targets. they willjust not be achievable if we're unable to bring this new pool of talent through into this industry. in terms of the price of housing, i think we're going to get to a point where some of those costs just won't be able to be passed on to the consumer. you know, there's only so far that anyone can afford to pay for a property these days. good

time, british speed skater elise christie will be hoping to secure an elusive medal — butjust being in beijing would be a significant achievement. after heartache in the last two games, elise has suffered with her mental health, she considered taking her own life, and has also recently revealed that she was raped as a teenager. she's been speaking to breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin. elise christie. and christie goes down before they reach the very first corner. three—time world champion. so it's heartbreak for elise christie yet again. ten—time european champion. oh, going down! but say the name and you think of the falls. christie crashes out, christie is out of it once again. do you replay, is it on a loop? i do at points, especially as you get close to competition. iwill be, like, replaying it in my head, and the frustration is, if i watch it, i get so angry. twice, elise left for the winter olympics full of hope. twice she came back empty—handed. i just can't see living with this feeling, you know? christie, oh, they've gone down! everyone who's in this sport or sport in general doesn't necessarily remember me for the fall. they think i'm unlucky, yeah. but i get remembered as the first european to ever win the world championships. let's say that one more time. first european to win the world championship. shall we do itjust a third? it is good to hear it! it is in my head, because sometimes, you know, day—to—day, i'll think about the failures rather than... but that's the trick, the trick is to keep your eyes on the highs. yeah, that's very true, that's very true. and i think, yeah, you're right, i did forget them. and perhaps it is easy to forget the highs when you've been through so many lows. today, as elise trains for her fourth winter olympics, she's opening up about trauma she's never discussed on air before. a sexual assault when she was just 19 after her drink was spiked. ijust lost control of my body. i remember trying to run away, and i couldn't run because my legs just kept collapsing and i was on the floor. continually saying, like, no, trying to push but obviously my body wasn't working. it was weird because at the time, obviously, like, the way i viewed sexual assault is like someone getting battered and beaten and left in a bush. so i kind of came out of it thinking, "what did i do wrong, was it my fault?" i didn't think people would believe me, i didn't even know if it was a sexual assault, i just was so confused about the whole thing because i was like, what could i have done differently? why couldn't i get him off me? i'm a strong athlete. yeah, so, the whole experience was just very confusing and hard to describe. it's horrible. all of this focus should be on him, not you. yeah. instead of hiding away and being, like, that happened and i'm ashamed of myself, it's kind of, that happened and i accept it, it wasn't my fault. trauma in her personal life was met by trauma in her professional life. anxiety led to depression and self—harm. all of which nearly cost elise her life. ijust remember being, like, i can't feel like this any more. i can't cope with feeling like this any more, i can't go another second. and it was kind of like, it didn't feel like me and that's the numbness that comes with it, it felt like i was watching someone else doing it. and then, like, i remember... i don't know how long it was but i remember, anywhere between 30 seconds and a minute later, thinking, "i don't want to die, what have i done?" in that moment, in that exact moment, of, woof, you snapped back into your own body, "i do not want to die"? it was like that, yeah. "i do not want to die." what were the things that you thought, "i've got all of this to live for"? i think there is obviously my mum and my dad and my stepdad and family. i wasjust, like, i can't do that to them, i can't leave them. and then there was obviously skating and the actual love for skating. all of this is detailed in her new biography. its title, resilience. she's working hard here in nottingham, because in three weeks' time, she flies to beijing with the hope of qualifying for next year's winter olympics. on her wrist, a symbol that keeps her going. that is the symbol for a suicide prevention charity, an organisation, it's supposed to symbolise, you know if you're writing a sentence, you put a semicolon, it means, like, you're carrying on. you know, it reminds me not to go there, i suppose. reminds you of everything you've got to live for? exactly, yeah. elise is working hard for whatever lies ahead — on and off the ice. herfunding only covers her professional costs, so she has a second job delivering pizzas. are you still doing that right up to the point at which you fly to beijing? yeah, so, i got myself in a lot of financial problems when i was unwell. i avoided things, i bought things because, again, another bad addiction is buying things because you think it makes you feel better. but actually you make your life suck. it's not a fix. it's definitely not a fix. and its six month of spending's got me into four years of debt. it's that resilience, it's that resilience, not sat here feeling sorry for yourself. i mean, i do feel sorry for myself sometimes! but, no, exactly. my actions... but you are working your way through. every day, i get to work towards it — that's a positive in the right direction, and just don't let it suffocate you and get on top of you. this could be herfinal chance for an olympic medal. for me now, it's, like, showing all the kids and the fans and everyone else that is suffering from mental health that actually, you can still go back out there and face it. and i'm facing the thing that broke me. i want to medal, i believe i can medal, but i also want to come out of the games knowing that it wasn't something else that stopped me, it was just that i wasn't fast enough. because that's ok. but if i am fast enough, then there's a medal, i just want to finish it! that's it, that's it. you're going to be great. thank you. it sounds like you're in a good place and getting better every day. yeah. best of luck, everybody is rooting foryou, honestly, best of luck. thank you, i hope so. good luck. cheers. if you have been affected by any of the issues raised in that interview you can find help and information on the bbc action line. we really are rooting for her. amazingly inspiring to hear that willian delac resilience. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. torrential rain is causing major problems around the capital. these were the scenes in knightsbridge this morning as drivers stuggled to get through rising water levels. and southern and thameslink say their trains aren't stopping at belmont due to flooding there. a new play which explores what led to the grenfell tragedy is dividing opinion. �*value engineering' is based on the words of those involved in the second phase of the public inquiry. but questions have been raised over the timing of the production before the inquiry has finished and its focus on corporate and council officials. putting an inquiry on stage like this means there is a beginning, middle and an end, and there is a narrative. and people can empathise with that narrative, they can learn something, and they can get the whole story. it makes people angry, it makes people want to do something about it. it makes people understand it better, and i think they're quite often a call to action. an african—american couple who escaped slavery in the us in the mid—19th century have been honoured with a blue plaque at their former london home. ellen and william craft lived on cambridge grove, in hammersmith, after arriving in the country in 1850. they helped to organise the london emancipation society and gave lectures about abolition and socialjustice. to the travel. the circle line is part suspended due to signalfailure. district line is part suspended due to flooding at gloucester road. water levels are also affecting the overground, no service between willesden junction and clapham junction. and piccadilly line has severe delays. on the roads, in surbiton the a3�*s closed at the hook underpass. and the m25 has three of its four lanes blocked clockwise between leatherhead and wisley. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's been very wet, very windy for much of the second half of the night. there is still a cold front moving eastward as we head through the early part of the morning, still a bit more rain to come for eastern areas of the capital in particular. and it is set to stay blustery all day, with a brisk north—westerly wind blowing. but things will eventually brighten up as we head through the morning, some bright spells emerging, the chance of a few showers following on behind that weatherfront, though. and maybe even some longer spells of rain, particularly towards the northern home counties, and a lot more clout as we head into the afternoon. top temperatures, you won't notice them too much with the strength of the wind, peaking between 13 and 15 celsius. as we head through the evening and overnight, our area of low pressure eventually pulls away, it does stay rather windy. temperatures largely in double figures as we head into wednesday morning. it's still pretty blustery for the first part of wednesday, but we have got a ridge of high pressure building in so it is looking dry. there will be increasing amounts of sunshine, it stays dry on thursday and friday, with rising temperatures, warmer air, highs of 20 degrees. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. coming up on breakfast this morning. if you grew up watching too much tv in the 90s, you're not alone. the comedianjosh widdicombe will be here to tell us how shows like "neighbours" and "tfi friday" played a huge part in his life, and his new memoir. it's made him so happy in those pictures! tales of her picuturesque life on ravenseat farm have made the "yorkshire shepherdess" a best—selling author and tv star. amanda owen willjoin us to talk about her new series and book. and we'll hear how a very special birthday wish came true for an autistic boy who asked forfriends and received more than 50,000 birthday messages, including some from hollywood stars. lovely story, don't miss thatjust after 9am. we lovely story, don't miss that 'ust after 9am. ~ . , ,., ., after 9am. we have the

job in football! after three years away, claudio ranieri is back in the premier league as the new manager of watford. the italian, who famously won the title with leicester city in 2016 is the 14th managerial change under watford's owners since they took over nearly ten years ago. there was some surprise when xisco munoz was sacked on sunday with the club in mid—table. but watford have moved fast to get ranieri, whose first match will be at home against liverpool after the international break. a baptism of fire for him! liverpool say they have collected "substantial evidence" after manchester city made a complaint alleging a home fan spat at their backroom staff during their 2—2 draw at anfield on sunday. liverpool are conducting a full investigation into the incident. in a statement the club said witnesses had been interviewed while cctv and video footage was being analysed. tammy abraham and ben chilwell have been added to the england squad for their two upcoming world cup qualifiers. abraham, who moved from chelsea to roma in the summer, and his former blues teammate chilwell will report to st george's park today, along with the rest of gareth southgate's squad for the games with andorra and hungary. britain's hannah barnes finished sixth as italy's marta bastianelli won the opening stage of the women's tour of britain in banbury. the 2007 road race world champion took a dramatic victory in a sprint finish. defending champion lizzie diegnan was 26 seconds behind the leaders. stage 2 starts and finishes in walsall. we'll find out later this week if the ashes tour to australia will go ahead this winter. the players have been told what the likely travel protocols will be. many of them have concerns over whether their families can travel with them, and what living in a bubble will be like in australia where covid rules are very strict. the first test is due to begin on the 8th december but with the t20 world cup before then, some cup before then, some players face spending four months away from home and they may choose not to go. the ecb will decide this week whether they have got the best players available to go on that tour and take on australia. the captain of australia tim paine saying, the ashes will go ahead, whether or not they have got a team or not, so. it is four months away from home that is four months away from home that

will be giving his only live tv interview with dan today. let's go and join him there. good morning. the prime minister will be here on our red sofa at 7:30am, we have 15 minutes with him, thank you for all of your questions you sent in yesterday, we are going to try and get through lots of topics with borisjohnson. the warm up topics with borisjohnson. the warm up act, is that all right? katie

everyone is completely happy, in the background there are some rumblings over tax and spending policies, but so far, compared to the labour leader keir starmer, borisjohnson has had a very smooth

questions yesterday, overwhelmingly they were about pressures on the cost of living in the build—up to winter and people talking about the financial pressures they find themselves under. that's something which is, when you ask the prime minister about that, he keeps referring to the fact that wages are going up which causes consternation among some people because they are really feeling the squeeze at the moment. that is a big issue for this government, isn't it?— moment. that is a big issue for this government, isn't it? absolutely and the are government, isn't it? absolutely and they

things will go. the national insurance rise, people will not feel the effects of that until next spring. the gas supply issue is being compounded, we had a few more suppliers going bust last week including my own. that's going to gather pace and people are going to feel the pressure even more. boris johnson's solution to that is to try and say that things are fine and wages are going up, but i think he will find himself under more pressure and the conservatives will start seeing their postbag is filling up more and more with constituents frustrated about their situation and asking, we have a conservative government, why isn't it helping me more, especially in the red wall areas. in it helping me more, especially in the red wall areas.— the red wall areas. in terms of those questions, _

it is the slogan that in five years' time we will be looking back on and going, i remember the 2020 once conservative party conference. evenif once conservative party conference. even if the wording is vague, the mission is supposed to coalesce, the central theme of the conference is spot on in terms of what the conservatives wanted to achieve, proving to people that they are not just a one trick pony who delivered brexit, and they are a holding pattern to get through the covid crisis, —— they are not a holding party, there is a domestic agenda coming. the a0 new hospitals and more police officers, people want to feel that the government is making steps towards that. the conversation is when the next general election is and whether it will be as late as possible to avoid the conservatives having made all those promises about, we will do x, y and z, and then actually having to do x, y and z. ~ , , z. the prime minister will be with us at 7:30am- _ z. the prime minister

some policy but i suspect most of the action will be in the prime minister cosmic speech. the conservatives are keen to stop labour taking of the agenda, showing that the conservatives are being soft

around, brisk wind, so it feels cool if you are caught in it. this is the rain we have seen the pictures of, pushing into east anglia and the far south—east, there has been some light —— lightning in that. here it is, heavy rain across north england, the squeeze on the isobars tells you it is windy. we will see some of the rain sweep into south east scotland, eventually to the north—east. northern ireland catching some showers and if you are driving through cumbria and lancashire, some heavy rain getting through parts of wales as well. the rain moving away early this morning from the south—east, and behind it, it will brighten up. we will see some sunshine. there goes the rain, it continues across northern england. some of it venturing into part of the midlands, moving up across eastern scotland and brisk greens around it. 11 to 15 degrees today. for wales in the south—west, you could catch some showers through the afternoon. this evening and overnight, the rain pushes in the direction of the north sea. brisk winds and clear skies, cold once again in sheltered glens. as we can further south, temperatures holding up. some brisk winds and spots and of rain and cloud in the east but that moves away because transient high pressure is building across as so there will be dry weather and sunshine. then the next area of low pressure comes our way, bringing more rain across northern ireland and western scotland. the winds are going to pick up. temperatures 11 to 17 degrees. another weather front and cross us on thursday, bringing rain across scotland and northern ireland. western fringes of wales and northern ireland seeing some drizzle, more clout on thursday but it will feel warmer, more of a south—westerly wind coming from the azores so temperatures up to possibly as high as 21 degrees. on friday, more of the same, rain across northern ireland and scotland pushing north, a fair bit of cloud around. there will be sunshine despite the amount of cloud, but similar temperatures, widely 17 to 21. if you like it if it warmer, thatis 21. if you like it if it warmer, that is coming our way on thursday and friday. it isn't herfault! as you've been hearing this morning billions of people have been affected worldwide after facebook and its social media platforms including whatsapp and instagram were unavailable for almost six hours. it is now working again. let's try to get to the bottom of it. we're joined now by dan sodergren, a digital marketing and tech specialist, to help unravel this for us. hello. good morning. how significant was this, hello. good morning. how significant was this. there _ hello. good morning. how significant was this, there have _ hello. good morning. how significant was this, there have been _ hello. good morning.

day, there was a very different today. there were only 8 million people on facebook and now there are something like 3 billion. so it is a big difference. outages have happened before, but not in living memory, shall we say. for before, but not in living memory, shall we say-— before, but not in living memory, shall we say. before, but not in living memory, shallwesa. ., , ., ., ., shall we

that is one thing, it is a bit of an inconvenience. but if your business runs through facebook, or if your business is facebook, this is phenomenally disruptive. yeah, the 're is phenomenally disruptive. yeah, they're facebook _ is phenomenally disruptive. yeah, they're facebook themselves, i is phenomenally disruptive. yeah, | they're facebook themselves, they were losing something like £30 million per hour, higher than that. -- 30 million per hour, higher than that. —— 30 million. mark zuckerberg lost 7 billion, but let's not worry too much about him. for people with small businesses, that time—out could be fundamentally a problem. there are people who also run whole business is on whatsapp. so you have got to be careful if you put all of your eggs one basket as my would have said. sometimes we think, it is infallible, it can neverfold down, and yesterday proved that even a bigger business like facebook and its subsidiary can pull that in one go so maybe they should all not be the same business. we go so maybe they should all not be the same business.— go so maybe they should all not be the same business. we talked about instajram, the same business. we

hours ago. and a lot of the original shareholders came out and said that facebook was a bad thing and then 2a hours later, facebook goes down so there are lots of conspiracy theories around that. what was the technical problem, please don't say they turned it on and off and again that they kind of did, it was the domain name server system, the domain name server system, the domain name server system, the domain name not pointing to the right place. if you want to look at the internet, it is like a bridge that went to facebook went out so no one could get across. but why it happened could be a subject for a wonderful hollywood movie or it could be as boring as someone just got the wrong bits together. facebook would have had protocols to stop human error so it is fascinating from a technical interview what actually happened. we will wait and find out, maybe a whistle—blower will help us one day. yeah, absolutely. i whistle-blower will help us one day. yeah, absolutely.— yeah,

lockdown would be to share a photograph on social media each day from his daily run through the lake district, he could never have imagined he'd still be doing it more than 500 days later. the results were so stunning they proved a huge hit with the public, and are now they're being published in a book. "a year like no other" will raise funds for the evelina children's hospital, and also for a cause breakfast viewers will know very well — the tony hudgell foundation. steve joins us now. good morning

news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. torrential rain is causing major problems around the capital. these were the scenes in knightsbridge this morning as drivers struggled to get through rising water levels. the london fire brigade has responded to dozens of calls. and flooding is affecting the rail network. southern and thameslink say their trains aren't stopping at belmont. a new play which explores what led to the grenfell tragedy is dividing opinion. grenfell: value engineering is based on the words of those involved in the second phase of the public inquiry. but questions have been raised over the timing of the production — before the inquiry has finished and its focus on corporate and council officials. putting an inquiry on stage like this means there is a beginning, middle and an end, and there is a narrative. and people can empathise with that narrative, they can learn something, and they can get the whole story. it makes people angry, it makes people want to do something about it. it makes people understand it better, and i think they're quite often a call to action. an african—american couple who escaped slavery in the us in the mid—19th century have been honoured with a blue plaque at their former london home. ellen and william craft lived on cambridge grove, in hammersmith, after arriving in the country in 1850. they helped to organise the london emancipation society and gave lectures about abolition and socialjustice. turning to travel now. severe delays on the circle and district line due to loading. water levels are also affecting the overground — no service between willesden junction and clapham junction. minor delays on the piccadilly line and also severe delays on the metropolitan line. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's been very wet, very windy for much of the second half of the night. there is still a cold front moving eastward as we head through the early part of the morning, still a bit more rain to come for eastern areas of the capital in particular. and it is set to stay blustery all day, with a brisk north—westerly wind blowing. but things will eventually brighten up as we head through the morning, some bright spells emerging, the chance of a few showers following on behind that weatherfront, though. and maybe even some longer spells of rain, particularly towards the northern home counties, and a lot more cloud as we head into the afternoon. top temperatures, you won't notice them too much with the strength of the wind, peaking between 13 and 15 celsius. as we head through the evening and overnight, our area of low pressure eventually pulls away, it does stay rather windy. temperatures largely in double figures as we head into wednesday morning. it's still pretty blustery for the first part of wednesday, but we have got a ridge of high pressure building in so it is looking dry. there will be increasing amounts of sunshine, it stays dry on thursday and friday, with rising temperatures, warmer air, highs of 20 degrees. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to sally and jon. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. facebook, instagram and whatsapp return to normal but the worldwide outage cost billions of pounds. courts are to be given new powers to try to stop protests by environmental activists. good morning, we are alive from the conservative party conference in manchester today whether prime minister borisjohnson willjoin us on this server at 7:30am. a breakthrough in the treatment of sickle cell disease. the first new drug in 20 years is to be given to patients in england. good morning, is in torrential downpours and brisk winds. the writers andreas conditions will be in northern ireland and northern and western scotland. all the details later. it's tuesday the 5th of october. our top story. facebook has apologised after three of its social media platforms — including whatsapp and instagram — were unavailable for almost six hours. billions of users were affected worldwide, and the company says the outage was caused by a technical failure. our north america technology reporterjames clayton has more. the number of people that use facebook and its spin—offs whatsapp and instagram is nothing short of staggering — 3.5 billion people across the world, including tens of thousands of businesses. still, when something goes wrong, it goes very wrong. in a statement released early on tuesday morning, facebook said... the outage was said to have caused mayhem in facebook�*s headquarters here in silicon valley, as technicians scrambled to work out what was going on. facebook was losing over £100,000 a minute and its share price fell. mark zuckerberg personally lost around £4 billion. most of these kinds of outages last for around an hour. what made this so unusual was how long it took to fix. and the scale of it, too — the outage wasn't localised, it was global, affecting users across the world. you might see... this couldn't have happened at a worse time for facebook. today a whistle—blower who used to work for facebook, frances haugen, will tell us politicians that facebook�*s own research found that instagram was dangerous to teenagers' mental health. a bad week for the social network is getting worse by the day. james clayton, bbc news, san francisco. the home secretary will unveil new powers today for courts in england and wales to stop protesters travelling to demonstrations. priti patel will also announce tougher sentences for obstrucing motorways when she addresses the conservative conference in manchester. thejustice secretary, dominic raab, will use his speech to say that more criminals in england and wales will be fitted with ankle tags. nick eardley reports. any worries about the cost of living, prime minister? there is a lot for borisjohnson to be thinking about this week. how to repair the economy after the pandemic. how to stop major supply disruption ahead of christmas. questions over who'll be able to pay their bills overwinter. but today in manchester, senior ministers will try and shift some of the focus onto traditional tory ground — law and order. the home secretary is less than pleased about scenes like this. insulate britain activists repeatedly blocking major roads — angering many motorists — in their attempts to raise awareness of poorly insulated homes. the government has revealed plans for new court orders which would stop protesters with a history of causing disruption travelling to some protests. there are also plans to introduce tougher sentences for obstructing highways, to try and stop scenes like this. but there are significant backlogs in the court system which could make speedy action tricky. that's for the in—tray of the new justice secretary, dominic raab. he'll say today that he wants to double the number of offenders who are tagged in england and wales. he'll argue that'll make communities safer. but there are other significant challenges for this government. when it comes to the economy and the cost of living, there aren't always easy answers. nick eardley, bbc news, at the conservative party

treatment for sickle cell disease in 20 years is be given to patients on the nhs in england. the condition is incurable, and mainly affects people from african and caribbean backgrounds. the drug involved has been described as revolutionary — and could cut visits to a&e by a0%. here's more from our community affairs correspondent, adina campbell. daily medication and monthly visits to hospital have been a normal part of sarah—jane's life ever since she was a baby. i've always been quite a smiley child. she's one of 15,000 people living with sickle cell disease in the uk. i've spent a lot of my life in hospital. just simple things i can't do sometimes, like washing myself, or, you know, brushing my teeth. i need help to do that. and i'm 27 years old. sometimes i feel like i'm living in a hundred—year—old body. but change could be on the way. hundreds of patients in england will now be offered a new drug called crizanlizumab over the next three years which could reduce the number of trips to hospital to treat severe pain. the moment that a new drug is approved to be used, ourjob is to make sure we can do a deal that makes it affordable and then get it out as quickly as possible. sickle cell disease is the world's most common genetic blood disorder. it mainly affects people from african and caribbean backgrounds. there's a one in four chance you will have the disease if both parents are carriers. the announcement of this treatment could be life—changing, reducing the number of times a sickle cell patient needs to go to a&e by a0%. but senior health campaigners say this should have happened a long time ago. people have said to our staff, "oh, this is a black person's disease. unlikely to affect me." but i think race has played a part in thinking, well, it's over there, it doesn't affect the majority population. more data is needed to find out about the drug's potential long—term benefits. medical experts will continue to collect information through clinical trials. renewed hope for sickle cell patients and their families. adina campbell, bbc news. torrential rain is causing major problems in london this morning. these were the scenes in knightsbridge

that can raise awareness and raise funds for breast cancer charities. breast cancer now have set up something which is really good, called the hundred miles for october challenge and you just have to walk — i sayjust have to walk — you have to walk 100 miles throughout the month of october, which isjust over three miles every single day. and there are all sorts of other walking challenges that you can take part in, as well. so please head over to the outdoor guide — which is theoutdoorguide.co.uk — there are lots of ideas on there. and thank you very much to elaine and to louise for sharing your story today, as well. raising awareness is so important. ladies and men, please check yourselves. and i'm very sorry i can't be there myself this morning, but i'm preparing for my own op, which

important message. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. torrential rain is causing major problems around the capital. these were the scenes in knightsbridge this morning as drivers struggled to get through rising water levels. the london fire brigade has responded to dozens of calls. and flooding is affecting the rail network. a new play which explores what led to the grenfell tragedy is dividing opinion. grenfell: value engineering is based on the words of those involved in the second phase of the public inquiry. but questions have been raised over the timing of the production — before the inquiry has finished and its focus on corporate and council officials. putting an inquiry on stage like this means there is a beginning, middle and an end, and there is a narrative. and people can empathise with that narrative, they can learn something, and they can get the whole story. it makes people angry, it makes people want to do something about it. it makes people understand it better, and i think they're quite often a call to action. an african—american couple who escaped slavery in the us in the mid—19th century have been honoured with a blue plaque at their former london home. ellen and william craft lived on cambridge grove, in hammersmith, after arriving in the country in 1850. they helped to organise the london emancipation society and gave lectures about abolition and socialjustice. turning to travel now. severe delays on the circle and district line due to flooding. water levels are also affecting the overground — no service between kensington olympia and clapham junction. on the roads — in surbiton the a35 closed at the hook underpass. and the m25 has three of its four lanes blocked clockwise between leatherhead and wisley. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's been very wet, very windy for much of the second half of the night. there is still a cold front moving eastward as we head through the early part of the morning, still a bit more rain to come for eastern areas of the capital in particular. and it is set to stay blustery all day, with a brisk north—westerly wind blowing. but things will eventually brighten up as we head through the morning, some bright spells emerging, the chance of a few showers following on behind that weatherfront, though. and maybe even some longer spells of rain, particularly towards the northern home counties, and a lot more cloud as we head into the afternoon. top temperatures, you won't notice them too much with the strength of the wind, peaking between 13 and 15 celsius. as we head through the evening and overnight, our area of low pressure eventually pulls away, it does stay rather windy. temperatures largely in double figures as we head into wednesday morning. it's still pretty blustery for the first part of wednesday, but we have got a ridge of high pressure building in so it is looking dry. there will be increasing amounts of sunshine, it stays dry on thursday and friday, with rising temperatures, warmer air, highs of 20 degrees. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to sally and jon. good morning, you were watching bbc breakfast, live at the conservative party conference and we are joined by the prime minister borisjohnson. good morning. by the prime minister boris johnson. good morning-— good morning. thank you for being with a. absolute _ good morning. thank you for being with a. absolute pleasure. - good morning. thank you for being with

yesterday, - with a. absolute pleasure. we ask four questions yesterday, lots - four questions yesterday, lots coming in with about the big subjects you are dealing with, many on the cost of living. we know it will be a difficult winter for many people, what do you say to the people, what do you say to the people, for example the teacher who is £30,000, frozen by the government this year so if you factor in inflation, they are going through a pay cut and you have energy bills going up, if you are on a standard tariff, of £139, national insurance going up £200 next april and then concerned about paying in shops because of rising prices because of supply chain issues and inflation pressures. what is your message to people like that in this morning? what i would say to teachers first of all it is thank them for all the incredible work they have done during the pandemic. we put up starting salaries to teachers as part of a massive investment in education we are continuing to make. for everybody looking at things going forward in the next few weeks, what you're seeing, really, dan, is the british economy coming back to life after covid, and like many parts of the world, sucking in demand for gas on hgv drivers on a very big scale. that is having an effect. but it is produced by this recovery in the economy. and what we're doing, of course, is making sure that we help in any way that we can, but you're seeing wages rises well and they have been rising across the board over the past year, and that's a good thing. fin across the board over the past year, and that's a good

national statistics figures this morning because that has been done before. what they have said about the wages rising is it is hard to make this comparison because it goes back to what was happening

for childcare of over £1000 per month, we have lifted up the living wage. and her people facing a tough time this winter, —— for people facing a tough time, there is a new hardship fund of £500 million. what we want to do is continue to see this growth in the uk economy, it's the fastest growing economy in the g7, basically because we have been able to come out of covid in a strong and sensible way. and i want to see that wage growth continue. and i want to see productivity continue to grow as well. and what i don't think would be a good idea, down, we talked about some of the supply chain issues, what i don't think would be a good idea, dan, would be going backwards to the low—wage, low investment, low skill approach that we have had before. ok. investment, low skill

making decisions about heating and eating this winter, struggling to put food on the table, their bills are going up, universal credit changes tomorrow for many people. they are wondering whether they can afford to heat their houses winter, struggling financially and mentally, and they feel like there is not enough help from your government. and when they hear you say, it's ok, wages are going up, thatis say, it's ok, wages are going up, that is completely at odds with the lives they are living. and they look at you sue, and they say, we are out of touch —— you are out of touch with what is

market, make sure that young people can afford a home that they can live in. that means fixing the planning system, making sure that we have access to housing, that's why we increase the local housing allowance in the way that we did. look at energy, a big chunk of people's bills. in the end, we have got to move to a system where we are not dependent on the vagaries of russian hydrocarbons, but we have our own clean green energy sources and we are investing massively in clean energy which will be cheap and reliable, and as i say, we won't be dependent on hydrocarbons from abroad. transport, a

price of gas is going up because it's being sucked in by china, by malaysia, and that's what's affecting the price in this country. that's what you're talking about. their way to fix that is to make sure we invest in cheap, green, clean energy in this country on which people can rely, and we are going up to 40 gigawatts of wind power alone by 2030. that's a fantastic thing for this country. it will mean that we have, not only did we have access to clean and green supplies, we are able to keep costs down. the way to think about this is that, imagine that the world has been, the uk in particular has been in a deep freeze, and the pipes are becoming unfrozen right now. it is the stresses and strains caused by the stresses and strains caused by the economy waking up. unemployment is falling very fast, you are seeing wage growth, and what flicks want to see at the same time is the uk start to change the way we have done things. if you look back at the last two decades, a

of the shortage. so what we said to the road haulage industry was, finally, give us the names of the drivers that you want to bring in every will sort out the visas, and we have got another 5000 —— and we will sort out the visas. and they only produce 127 names, so far. what that shows is the global shortage. now, ithink, and there far. what that shows is the global shortage. now, i think, and there is a particular problem in the uk, road haulage should be a greatjob. if you invested in the truck stops, if you invested in the truck stops, if you invested in the truck stops, if you invested

global. what i'm saying is, what you cannot do is go back to the old, failed model, where you mainline low—wage, low skill labour, very often very hard—working, brave, wonderful people who come in, working in conditions that are frankly pretty tough. and we shouldn't be going back to that. what that lead to is a situation in which you weren't investing in things like the road haulage, in

crimes, crimes of violence are coming down. you promised _ violence are coming down. you promised this _ violence are coming down. you promised this in _ violence are coming down. you promised this in

wider frustration that people feel. so what you need to do, i will talk about misogyny and the attitude of the police... d0 talk about misogyny and the attitude of the police. . ._ of the police... do

at the moment, shall i tell you, the numbers of successful rape prosecutions have been falling, people are not being convicted for rape in the way they should be. and there is a reason for that. the reason is we have this immense competition with evidence from mobile phones, and the defence is too often able to produce spurious or otherwise reason why the defendant might have thought consent was given. you know what i'm talking about. i was given. you know what i'm talking about. ., and was given. you know what i'm talking about. i do. and this is a massive about. i do. and this is a massive

more about harassment and it's not being properly enforced. and that is what the police need to be doing. and they need to be taking women's complaints seriously and we need to be contracting the period between a woman reporting her complaint and the disposal in court because it's taking far too long. and that is why women feel betrayed by the system at the moment, that is the problem. the government can do all sorts of things. we are putting more cctv up, making sure we have more street lighting, increasing sentences for serious sexual and violent offenders and that is a good thing to do and has got to be done and it was opposed, by the way, by the labour party, it is the right thing to do. but what we also want to do is see a change in culture and that goes to your point about the police forces up your point about the police forces up and down the country. one of the best ways you can see this change happen is make sure that you have more female police officers. in the met police now, you are running at 40%. that's a good thing, and i want to see those officers progress up the ranks, and get to senior positions and change the culture but that needs to be a change of

downpours. some are already there, some to come. this is the rain that brought the flooding in london, an area of low pressure, and through the day it will extend. if you have a look at the isobars, we have brisk winds around it. gusty winds. the rain is continuing to move away from east anglia and kent, continuing across the north. right across southern england and wales with a few showers but the brighter skies will be in northern ireland and scotland. you can see the rain across northern england and eastern scotland, we could have 50 millilitres at the end of this, two inches. more showers into the midlands and east anglia. it will feel cold with the wind and rain, 11 to 15 degrees. through the evening and overnight, the whole band pushes further eastwards. behind it we see some clearance in the sky, temperatures hovering close to freezing. most of us will stay above that. tomorrow, we start with brisk winds, the cloud and any spot of rain in the east will move away, then things settle down. a lot of us will have a dry day with some sunshine. you can already see what's happening in the west, the cloud will build, heralding the arrival of another area of low pressure introducing more rain and strengthening winds across northern ireland. we will see some of that in western scotland, wales and west england. thursday, rain in scotland and northern ireland. quite a bit of cloud around through thursday but equally some of us will see some sunshine. when from the south—west, straight up from the azores, so we will have higher temperatures. may be up to 21 degrees. the cloud will be up to 21 degrees. the cloud will be thick enough in places around the coasts and hills for some spots of drizzle. it's a friday, we have the rain across northern ireland and scotland, —— into friday, a set of cloud and sunny breaks, and in the sunshine we will see 20 or 21 degrees. widely above average for the time of year. into the weekend, we have over the front slipping south bringing rain into northern areas, and behind that, we will see the temperature slide a bit. further south, we hang on to the higher temperatures through the course of the weekend. thank you. we will get more reaction to that interview with borisjohnson in the next half an hour let's have a slight change of pace. from the tanned six—packs of the gladiators, to mr blobby�*s

short of the 5000 drivers the government wanted. he has been speaking to dan at the conservative party conference in manchester. let's go to dan. good morning, good money to you all at home. many of you will be switching on, some of you will have squashed our interview with the prime minister. adam fleming was listening closely. talking about those supply chain issues, that was one of the key points to come out of that. the government wanting thousands of drivers to try to ease the build—up to christmas and yet 127 applications so far this emergency visa.— 127 applications so far this

initially rejected calls for an emergency visa scheme before accepting them and over the coming month they said they would issue 5000 temporary visas for lorry drivers to come into the uk. initially they would be 300 but it turns out that the demand from the industry has been less than half of that as the prime minister was telling you. that as the prime minister was telling you-_ that as the

you are right. what - happened. .. you're completely right. happened... you're completely right. it is 127 and it is a fascinating illustration of the problem of the shortage. so what we said to the road haulage industry it was, fine, give us the names of the drivers you want to bring in and we will sort out the visas and we have another 5000 visas. they only produce 127 names. so far. what that shows is the global shortage. talked about all sorts of things and one of that main issue that viewers are sending questions about was the cost of living and lots of suggestions from people watching the programme that the prime minister and this government were out of touch with some of the real—life experiences of people. he addressed that would you think he spoke to some of those concerns this morning? is answer on the cost of living was very similar to his answer on the trucking issue. he thinks the solution to this in the long term is that you solve the big structural issues that are causing these issues. with truckers he says the way you solve that so it is more attractive for british people to do. that includes investing in things like the truck stop. he apply that logic to pretty much everything else, as well. he said if you are worried about your energy bills, don't worry, we are investing in green energy which means that bills will eventually stabilise and we won't be relying on imports of gas from russia. if you are worried about the housing of the answer to thatis about the housing of the answer to that is to change planning laws and to get more houses built. that may work in the long term, it may work very well, the time she was people listening to that will think, well, what about today and tomorrow? something else we spoke at length about. i suppose the height and —— the heightened focus on violence against women because of the sarah everard case, it was interesting to hear his thoughts surrounding that and how women are feeling and the safety of women at the moment to. i safety of women at the moment to. i thought he really acknowledged people's concerns. he had no choice because those concerns are so powerful, especially in the wake of the sarah everard case. it is very clear the prime minister's focus is on getting the existing system to work better. the number of successful rape prosecutions is incredibly low. we want that to go up incredibly low. we want that to go up for even considering any new crimes for the police to prosecute. so i think that the anger over sarah everard's _ so i think that the anger over sarah everard's

labour mp harriet harman who say catcalling women, they should be —— that men should be arrested and have their driving licence taken away. i asked him if he thought that with a hate crime but he kept going back to your point, we have existing laws and we have to use them. you point, we have existing laws and we have to use them.— have to use them. you can speak to campaigners _ have to use them.

with legislation around crime, an opportunity to do that, but i thought it was very striking that the prime minister is ruling out doing anything new. it is all the focus, he says, on the focus and —— the police and prosecutors to do theirjob better. he says it is not hisjob to introduce new theirjob better. he says it is not his job to introduce new crimes theirjob better. he says it is not hisjob

morning throughout the programme but for the moment, it is back to sally annjon from the conservative party conference. thank you very much. facebook has apologised after three of its social media platforms — including whatsapp and instagram — were unavailable for almost six hours. billions of users were affected worldwide, and the company says the outage was caused by a technical failure. our north america technology reporterjames clayton has more. the number of people that use facebook and its spin—offs whatsapp and instagram is nothing short of staggering — 3.5 billion people across the world, including tens of thousands of businesses. still, when something goes wrong, it goes very wrong. in a statement released early on tuesday morning, facebook said... the outage was said to have caused mayhem in facebook�*s headquarters here in silicon valley, as technicians scrambled to work out what was going on. facebook was losing over £100,000 a minute and its share price fell. mark zuckerberg personally lost around £4 billion. most of these kinds of outages last for around an hour. what made this so unusual was how long it took to fix. and the scale of it, too — the outage wasn't localised, it was global, affecting users across the world. you might see... this couldn't have happened at a worse time for facebook. today a whistle—blower who used to work for facebook, frances haugen, will tell us politicians that facebook�*s own research found that instagram was dangerous to teenagers' mental health. a bad week for the social network is getting worse by the day. james clayton, bbc news, san francisco. health news for you. a new treatment for sickle cell disease, the first in 20 years, is to be given to patients on the nhs in england. the condition is incurable, and mainly affects people from african and caribbean backgrounds. the drug involved has been described as revolutionary — and could cut visits to a&e by 40%. the nurses' union is warning there could be "immense pressure" on health and social care services this winter. it says sickness rates in the nursing workforce have been rising, with the number of days lost to problems like depression and stress up by more than 30% since the start of the pandemic. the government said the number of nurses in england has grown our health reporter jim reed has more details. sharon mason is a nurse consultant working in yorkshire. last year she caught covid. she says she is still dealing with the symptoms months later. something that's also damaged her mental health. so the impact mentally, i've not... not being able to go into work, isjust absolutely huge. mentally... you just want to be there. the latest figures suggest sickness rates among nurses in england have been rising since the pandemic began. the royal college of nursing says the most common reason to be off work is not covid itself, but a mental health condition like anxiety, stress or depression. it's warning that the nhs now faces a tough winter that could have an impact on patient care. and what we can say is that flu is going to be an issue. we know that other respiratory viruses are going to be a problem, and we know that the nhs is working over and above to try to catch up the two years it's lost during the covid pandemic. and we know that we already have a massive shortage of registered nurses and other health care workers and, on top of that, what we are now seeing is increasing sickness levels. the government said that the number of nurses in england has grown by almost 10,000 this year, and it plans to add 50,000 by the end of this parliament. jim reed, bbc news. torrential rain is causing major problems across london. these were the scenes in knightsbridge this morning as

wales and the south—west, sunshine and showers, tightening up behind that band of rain as we go into southern areas. still a few showers this afternoon in east anglia and into kent. through this evening and overnight, the band of rain pushes a bit further east, still brisk winds around it, like we have seen today, and then behind it some clear skies. temperatures close to freezing in some sheltered glens but for the rest of us holding up a bit higher. tomorrow we start off in the east with brisk winds, clouds and spots of rain. that clears, it dries quite nicely, a fair bit of sunshine around. through the day the cloud will build up towards the west and we will see the rain arrived and also the wind strengthened. some good news if you like it warmer, by the end of the week, thursday and friday, we could see 21 degrees. we like it a bit warmer. thank you, carol. . , like it a bit warmer. thank you, carol._ 8:15am. - like it a bit warmer. thank you, carol._ 8:15am. an - carol.

four months' time, british speed skater elise christie will be hoping to secure an elusive medal — butjust being in beijing would be a significant achievement. after heartache in the last two games, elise has suffered with her mental health, she self—harmed, and has also recently revealed that she was raped as a teenager. she's been speaking to breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin. elise christie. and christie goes down before they reach the very first corner. three—time world champion. so it's heartbreak for elise christie yet again. ten—time european champion. 0h, they've gone down! but say the name and you think of the falls. christie crashes out, christie is out of it once again. do you replay, is it on a loop? i do at points, especially as you get closer to competition. iwill be, like, replaying it in my head, and the frustration is, if i watch it, i get so angry. twice, elise left for the winter olympics full of hope. twice she came back empty—handed. i just can't see living with this feeling, you know? christie, oh, they've gone down! everyone who's in this sport or sport in general doesn't necessarily remember me for the fall. they think i'm unlucky, yeah. but i get remembered as the first european to ever win the world championships. let's say that one more time. first european to win the world championships. shall we do itjust a third? it is good to hear it! it is in my head, because sometimes, you know, day—to—day, i'll think about the failures rather than... but that's the trick, the trick is to keep your eyes on those highs. yeah, that's very true, that's very true. and i think, yeah, you're right, i did forget them. and perhaps it is easy to forget the highs when you've been through so many lows. today, as elise trains for her fourth winter olympics, she's opening up about trauma she's never discussed on air before. a sexual assault when she was just 19 after her drink was spiked. ijust lost control of my body. i remember trying to run away, and i couldn't run because my legs just kept collapsing and i was on the floor. continually saying, like, no, trying to push but obviously my body wasn't working. it was weird because at the time, obviously, like, the way i viewed sexual assault is like someone getting battered and beaten and left in a bush. so i kind of came out of it thinking, "what did i do wrong, was it my fault?" i didn't think people would believe me, i didn't even know if it was a sexual assault, i just was so confused about the whole thing because i was like, what could i have done differently? why couldn't i get him off me? i'm a strong athlete. yeah, so, the whole experience was just very confusing and hard to describe. it's horrible. all of this focus should be on him, not you. yeah. instead of hiding away and being, like, that happened and i'm ashamed of myself, it's kind of, no, actually, that happened and i accept it, it wasn't my fault. trauma in her personal life was met by trauma in her professional life. anxiety led to depression and self—harm — all of which nearly cost elise her life. ijust remember being, like, i can't feel like this any more. i can't cope with feeling like this any more, i can't go another second. and it was kind of like, it didn't feel like me and that's the numbness that comes with it, it felt like i was watching someone else doing it. and then, like, i remember... i don't know how long it was but i remember, anywhere between 30 seconds and a minute later, me being like, "i don't want to die, what have i done?" in that moment, in that exact moment, of, woof, you snapped back into your own body, "i do not want to die"? it was like that, yeah. "i do not want to die." what were the things that you thought, "i've got all of this to live for"? i think there is obviously my mum and my dad and my stepdad and family. i wasjust, like, i can't do that to them, i can't leave them. and then there was obviously skating and the actual love for skating. all of this is detailed in her new biography. its title, resilience. she's working hard here in nottingham, because in three weeks' time, she flies to beijing with the hope of qualifying for next year's winter olympics. on her wrist, a symbol which keeps her going. that is the symbol for a suicide prevention charity, an organisation, it's supposed to symbolise, you know if you're writing a sentence, you put a semicolon, it means, like, you're carrying on. you know, it reminds me not to go there, i suppose. reminds you of everything you've got to live for? exactly, yeah. elise is working hard for whatever lies ahead — on and off the ice. herfunding only covers her professional costs, so she has a second job delivering pizzas. are you still doing that right up to the point at which you fly to beijing? yeah, so, i got myself in a lot of financial problems when i was unwell. i avoided things, i bought things because, again, another bad addiction is buying things because you think it makes you feel better. but actually you make your life suck. it's not a fix. it's definitely not a fix. and it's six month of spending's got me into four years of debt. it's that resilience, it's that resilience, not sat here feeling sorry for yourself. i mean, i do feel sorry for myself sometimes! but, no, exactly. my actions... but you're working your way through. every day, i get to work towards it — that's a positive in the right direction, and just don't let it suffocate you and get on top of you. this could be herfinal chance for an olympic medal. for me now, it's, like, showing all the kids and the fans and everyone else that, suffering from mental health that, actually, you can still go back out there and face it. and i'm facing the thing that broke me. i want to medal, i believe i can medal, but i also want to come out of the games knowing that it wasn't something else that stopped me — it was just that i wasn't fast enough. because that's ok. but if i am fast enough, then there's a medal, i just want to finish it! that's it, that's it. you're going to be great. thank you. it sounds like you're in a good place and getting better every day. yeah. best of luck, everybody is rooting foryou, honestly, best of luck. thank you, i hope so. good luck. cheers. if you have been affected by any of the issues raised in that interview you can find help and information on the bbc action line. good luck over the next few months, elise. we have been talking about lorry drivers this money, we have talked about nurses and a shortage of nurses but we are also talking about a shortage of builders that could be an even bigger problem than the truck crisis. nina is

vacancies at the moment are at a record high. in august they went past1 million for the record high. in august they went past 1 million for the first time since records began. construction is a big part of that. the number of vacancies is up more than 40% compared to before the pandemic. it is similar to compared to before the pandemic. it is similarto h compared to before the pandemic. it is similar to h ev drivers. post brexit, lots of people going back to the country of origin and not coming back and some people simply choosing to go into a different career. in the construction sector it is warning, one body is one, that by 2025 there will be a shortage of more than 200,000 workers. made worse by the fact that by that point half a million builders will have gone into retirement. the bigger shortages in carpentry and bricklaying so these fellows will have a job to go to but it doesn't solve the problem at the moment for people like adrian, who has a big contract to fulfil just can't do people like adrian, who has a big contract to fulfiljust can't do it. what was here previously was a former public house, and what should be here now is 16 houses under construction but, as you can see, we've made a start but very little else is happening. the government has obviously set some really strong housing targets. they willjust not be achievable if we're unable to bring this new pool of talent through into this industry. in terms of the price of housing, i think we're going to get to a point where some of those costs just won't be able to be passed on to the consumer. you know, there's only so far that anyone can afford to pay for a property these days. that is one business. let's speak to kate, who works in recruitment, to get a sense of the scale. people this morning have accused us of scaremongering talking about this shortage. how real is it? it is scaremongering talking about this shortage. how real is it?- shortage. how real is it? it is very real. i haven't _

is there is a regional pulp. builders in the north being lowered south by higher pay. also seeking to meet climate and regulations, means things are getting even higher. that and a shortage of

flooding overnight in parts of the capital. these were the scenes in knightsbridge this morning and the london fire brigade has responded to dozens of calls. it is also affecting tube and rail services. the met office said just over an inch of rain led —— fell in an hour. a new play which explores what led to the grenfell tragedy is dividing opinion. grenfell: value engineering is based on the words of those involved in the second phase of the public inquiry. but questions have been raised over the timing of the production — before the inquiry has finished and its focus on corporate and council officials. putting an inquiry on stage like this means there is a beginning, middle and an end, and there is a narrative. and people can empathise with that narrative, they can learn something, and they can get the whole story. it makes people angry, it makes people want to do something about it. it makes people understand it better, and i think they're quite often a call to action. an african—american couple who escaped slavery in the us in the mid—19th century have been honoured with a blue plaque at their former london home. ellen and william craft lived on cambridge grove, in hammersmith, after arriving in the country in 1850. they gave lectures about abolition and socialjustice. turning to travel now. severe delays on the circle and district line due to flooding. also and district line due to flooding. severe delays on i hammersmith also severe delays on the hammersmith and city line. water levels are also affecting the overground — no service between willesden junction and clapham junction. on the roads — in surbiton the a3�*s closed at the hook underpass. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's been very wet, very windy for much of the second half of the night. there is still a cold front moving eastward as we head through the early part of the morning, still a bit more rain to come for eastern areas of the capital in particular. and it is set to stay blustery all day, with a brisk north—westerly wind blowing. but things will eventually brighten up as we head through the morning, some bright spells emerging, the chance of a few showers following on behind that weatherfront, though. and maybe even some longer spells of rain, particularly towards the northern home counties, and a lot more cloud as we head into the afternoon. top temperatures, you won't notice them too much with the strength of the wind, peaking between 13 and 15 celsius. as we head through the evening and overnight, our area of low pressure eventually pulls away, it does stay rather windy. temperatures largely in double figures as we head into wednesday morning. it's still pretty blustery for the first part of wednesday, but we have got a ridge of high pressure building in so it is looking dry. there will be increasing amounts of sunshine, it stays dry on thursday and friday, with rising temperatures, warmer air, highs of 20 degrees. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to sally and jon. good morning, you are watching breakfast from the bbc, at the conservative party conference in manchester. if you were watching about an hour or so ago, we were joined by the prime minister boris johnson on our red sofa. lots to talk to him about, supply chain issues with the build—up to christmas, he had a lot to say on misogyny in the light of what we have seen with the sarah everard case recently. one of the big things we talked about was the cost of living. we talked about was the cost of livina. ~ ., ., _, , living. we want to continue seeing this growth _ living. we want to continue seeing

living. we want to continue seeing i this growth in the uk economy, the fastest—growing economy in the g7, basically because we have basically been able to come out of covid in a strong sensible way. and i want to see that wage growth continue. and i want to see productivity continue to grow as well. and what i don't think would be a good idea, dan, when we talk about some of the supply chain issues, what i don't think would be a good idea would be to go backwards to the kind of low—wage, low investment, low skill approach that we have had before. {lilia investment, low skill approach that

the g7. the point i'm trying to make to you this morning —— the largest drops of growth. people are watching today will be making decisions about heating and eating this winter, struggling to put food on the table, bills going up, universal credit changes tomorrow for many people, they are wondering whether they can afford to heat their house this winter, struggling financially and mentally, and they feel like there is not enough help from your government. and when they hear you say, it's ok, wages are going up, that is completely at odds with the lives that they are living. and they look at you and say, prime minister, you are out of touch of what we are seeing every in our lives in our homes with ourfamilies. seeing every in our lives in our homes with our families.- seeing every in our lives in our homes with our families. what are doinr is homes with our families. what are doing is taking _ homes with our families. what are doing is taking big _ homes with our families. what are doing is taking big steps _ doing is taking big steps necessarily as government to fix the cost of living. that was one of the things the prime minister said earlier on. let's discuss that in some other things, with particular and camilla tominey, thank you for being on our —— with pippa crerar. on cost of living, tipper, there are legitimate concerns of many people, —— pippa, what do you make of what the prime ministers said about wages going up? does that touch the issues? i think the government is trying to give people hope, because frankly many people hope, because frankly many people are facing quite a difficult winter with all the different costs of living pressures, energy bills, inflation causing food prices to go up, or universal credit cuts which start coming tomorrow, and whole host of other reasons. it's going to be pretty tricky time financially for lots of families in the few months. certain things that the prime minister can do short term about some of those issues. longer term, he wants to give people hope so he is coming back to wages, suggesting repeatedly through the tory conference that wages are going up tory conference that wages are going up and they will continue to. we know that the comparisons, as you said yourself dan, comparisons are not valid because some of those who lost theirjobs a year ago were the lowest paid which could push up the average wages. it's probably technically true that they are now higher but when you take factors into account, it's not what may people are feeling at the moment when they pay their bills and looking at the bank account. the pressure is only going to increase top how strong a position do you think the prime minister is in at the moment?— the moment? can he take this criticism. _ the

for all of us trying to buy food these next few months. it’s trying to buy food these next few months. �* , . , , trying to buy food these next few months. �* , ., , , ., trying to buy food these next

high street - in for a cup of tea in a high street coffee place the other day and they couldn't provide one because there wasn't any milk because their lorry drivers weren't delivering it. go to your supermarkets and there are empty shelves. i know the prime minister is very keen for us to believe that isn't the case but we all see it in our everyday lives and it will continue unless they can —— address the problems with deliveries and hgv drivers. the industry say they need 100,000 visas for people to come here. it is broader than that, there are issues in parts of europe as well with getting drivers, it's about conditions and pay and all sorts of other things but our geographical isolation as compared to the rest of the continent and the rest of the eu cannot recruit drivers from other countries —— and the eu can recruit drivers more easily from other countries and we can. but he has repeatedly said that this christmas will be better than last but that is not a very high bar. given how we all felt last christmas. it is a problem for them. as camilla says, it is mid—term and they are hopeful they will be able to get things back on track to for the next election. let's see, i strongly suspect going into the next election they will say, we were knocked off course with the pandemic after our big promises, so give us more time, we are only halfway there, let us finish the job. they will be trying to keep people on board long enough to win the argument convincingly to go to the next election. {line argument convincingly to go to the next election-— next election. one of

incrementing it better, a lot of women will be saying, the existing law has been in place for so long and nothing has changed. the thing about misogyny in particular is that there is a feeling now, you look at the sarah everard case, and this was the pattern, the pattern of behaviour that eventually resulted in her murder, there were some what would be regarded as low—level incidents when it comes to sexual violence and crime on behalf of the perpetrator who i'm not going to name. i certainly feel that if you make it clear to perpetrator is that low—level crime, catcalling flashing or harassment or touching or whatever, is not acceptable, which is not happening at the moment, then possibly you prevent it escalating onto something more serious. that's not happening at the moment. it's all very well saying the laws are there, follow them, that doesn't happen. maybe you need to make the law tougher. {line happen. maybe you need to make the law tougher-— law tougher. one more to

people see. we all possess about it about the mess session —— the machinations. policy bombs would resonate but the government doesn't have any money, the policy spending review is coming up the

morning. we have had some torrential rain last night, overnight we had 36 millimetres in some areas. in london, 35mm is. 26 cell injust over an hour. markets bosworth in leicestershire, 34. ormond street in south gloucestershire, and what in suffolk. we have had some flash flooding especially in london because of this area of low pressure moving in the direction of the nelson. —— the north sea. there is a curl pushing it as well. part of northern england by the time we have finished could have an extra 50 millimetres of rain. it will extend also across eastern scotland today, the tail and clipping parts of the midlands and east anglia. and brisk winds around it as you can see from the isobars on this chart. for scotland and northern ireland, dry weather, a bit of sunshine, one or two showers, getting on towards wales and the south—west. you will find it will brighten up across the south—east late on but it will feel cold. this evening and overnight, that will drift in the direction of the north sea, brisk winds and heavy rain. behind it clearskies, under the clear skies come in parts of the highlands, it will be cold enough to see a touch of frost. temperatures hovering close to freezing. no such issues for the rest of the uk. tomorrow we say goodbye to the area of low pressure, transient high pressure builds across us only to be usurped later by the next area of low pressure coming our way. tomorrow starts wet and windy and cloudy in the far east, that players way, things —— that clears away. it will dry up. but then assistant comes in from the atlantic introducing stronger winds and rain across northern ireland. temperatures up to 17 degrees. wednesday, thursday and friday, we still have weather fronts crossing us. they are going to be bringing some rain in. also dragging ahead of them some south—westerly winds, that is a mild direction for us. temperatures across the board are going to be rising. thursday has thick cloud and rain across northern ireland and scotland, cloud across northern ireland and wales, thick enough for drizzle, sunny spells and ten which is getting up to 20 or 21. the weather on friday is similar to thursday. we'll get figures later today on how many state school pupils in england have been absent from school with either a suspected or confirmed case of coronavirus. at the last count on september the 16th there were more than 100,000 not in class. our education correspondent elaine dunkley has been following the situation at one school in west yorkshire. so as soon as they start to crystallise... at this school in west yorkshire, a science class. these pupils are glad to be in school. it's much more fun now. the lessons are more fun than what they was before. back at home, we couldn't actually do the practicals, we just had to write down the method and what they would make and now we can actually do them. you can be more interactive, yeah, and actually see - the experiments happen. for these pupils, a sense of normality, but an increasing number of their classmates are at home with covid. we are moving towards the 200 mark in terms of how many children are currently out of school with a confirmed case of covid—19. the head teacher is concerned that as covid continues to keep children out of the classroom, there are increasing risks for the most vulnerable people. whilst we can ensure that they do not fall behind academically because we have the systems in place to ensure the work is provided for them remotely, it is actually a concern for those children who really need to be in school for their welfare, and that is a concern given the numbers we are talking about. so, numberone... in schools in england, covid restrictions such as social distancing and bubbles have been lifted by the government. here at honley high, because of the increase in cases, open evenings have now been moved online. assemblies are cancelled, and the wearing of masks is being encouraged. yeah, it's very stressful when you have to isolate. this group of pupils are worried about catching covid and missing more time in a school. gcse mocks are next year, and then i have missed so much, and instead of revising stuff i have already done, to scramble everything together, teachers have said we're trying to rush through it a little bit to get everything done. i'm going to throw it over to you. many in the teaching profession are also feeling the pressure. at this school, nearly a fifth of staff are off with covid. you might have two or three people off in your department. then you're definitely going to feel that pinch for the day. trying to ensure that any supply teacher has got as much support as they need for any of the classes. so i think there is a definite additional stress when you come in in the morning and there might be two or three people off. the school is working closely with the local public health team. in a statement, the department for education says it's about managing the risks with ventilation, regular testing and vaccinations of older students and staff. but for this school and many across the country, keeping pupils in school and covid out continues to be a challenge. elaine dunkley, bbc news in west yorkshire. those figures will be out later today about who is on out of school. imagine spending lockdown with 1,000 sheep, a0 cows, six dogs, four horses and nine children. well, that's been the reality for amanda owen, aka "the yorkshire shepherdess" and it's all in the new series of "our yorkshire farm", which this time includes camera work from some of the youngest family members. let's take a look. we will speak to you in a moment, i would just listen to the statistics, it was.

why do play—doh if you can give them do —— some dough and they can make bread? we all had to pull together. at the end of the day, anyone who managed to get through that period and come out of it with kids who were mentally all right, i think you have got to say they have done well. so the home—schooling went slightly awry, but apart from that. look at what they did achieve, if filled the

l are very privileged that throughout lockdown we had space. that was good for us. and i totally appreciate that for other people, it would have been really difficult. for me, we embrace technology but also we were able to keep a bit of distance as well. they were able to keep connections go with their friends and they were able to get online, but i had that perfect split in that when they were in the house, they could get online, but as soon as they went out door, there no signal. so it's back to basics. technology played an enormous part in keeping this connection is going. and also with social media, posting pictures, and the uptake that you got from people enjoying what we have got on our doorstep was incredible. i suppose it was the beginning of the idea of the staycation, people looking at what we actually have which is accessible and therefore us. and thinking about how, perhaps, we need to evaluate further down the line. at the end of the day, this beautiful place you see, it is a working farm. it looks great, hay meadows and clean rivers and places to swim but we also produce food as well. and in this current climate, well. and in this current climate, we also have to
