thriller in spain. good morning. yesterday a part of the south east reached 21 celsius. today it is going to be mild, not that mild though, and the weather is changeable with rain, heavy showers, gusty winds and sunshine. details later in the programme. good morning. it's wednesday, the 20th of october. our main story. health leaders are demanding the immediate introduction of some coronavirus restrictions in england to avoid "stumbling into a winter crisis". the nhs confederation says a sharp rise in cases means measures, including face coverings in crowded spaces, should be implemented. here's our health editor hugh pym. the nhs confederation says that increases in hospital covid numbers are worrying, and that with other demands on the service and pressure on staff, health leaders are worried about what might be around the corner. the latest government figures show that week on week uk covid cases, deaths and hospital admissions are all rising at a rate of 10% or more, though they remain well below levels seen injanuary. what we have seen is that, although cases have been gradually moving up in the uk since early august, the last week or so there's been a particular surge in infections. and not only in infections, but we're now seeing hospitalisation data going up, people in respiratory care beds, and also deaths starting to rise, whereas deaths have been pretty flat for most of the last two to three months. the nhs confederation has called on the government to take pre—emptive action and enact plan b in england, drawn up by ministers to be implemented if pressure on the nhs becomes unsustainable, with measures including compulsory face coverings in some settings, vaccine passports and more working from home. scotland, wales and northern ireland all currently have tighter restrictions, including mandatory face coverings in some public places. yesterday downing street said the government was not complacent and there'd been no discussion about moving plan b in england, while the key message was the vital importance of the vaccine booster programme. hugh pym, bbc news. managers running care services in england say staff shortages are so acute, they have to make difficult decisions about which patients they can support. the national care forum says it shows the stark reality of the pressure the care system is under. here's our social affairs correspondent, alison holt. this is vital work, caring for people who are older or disabled, either in a care home like this or in their own home. but it's become so difficult to fill jobs, care managers say people are working even longer hours and office staff are filling in gaps in the rota. exhaustion from the pandemic, compulsoryjabs in care homes and better pay being offered in other sectors, are all adding to the problems. 340 care managers with more than 21,000 staff responded to questions from organisations representing them. they had an average of 17% ofjobs vacant. more than two thirds had stopped or limited some services, including saying no to taking patients from hospital. it is estimated together they have turned down nearly 5000 requests for help since september the 1st. i think all of us across the sector, including myself and many others of my peers, are really seriously concerned, because we can't see any end in sight, i guess, to the current situation. the situation is getting progressively worse month on month with no end in sight, and i think with winter coming and all the additional pressures that are placed on staffing, under normal circumstances throughout the winter, it really is a grave cause for concern. and we are seeing every single day people saying, "you know, ijust can't do this any more and i'm leaving social care." the government says it is putting more money into the care system, including investing in training and regular recruitment campaigns for staff. alison holt, bbc news. four people have been arrested in connection with a gas explosion at a house in heysham, lancashire, which killed a toddler. two—year—old george hinds died when the blast ripped through his house in may this year. his parents were also injured but survived. a man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter, along with two other men. all four have been released on bail. it's a month since a volcano on one of spain's canary islands erupted, forcing thousands of people to leave their homes. lava is still spewing on la palma, with close to 2,000 buildings destroyed and now experts say they have no idea when eruptions will end. 0ur correspondent dan johnson sent this report. it still has the capacity to attract and enthral. but after a month it's become an overbearing backdrop to much of life here, an incredible spectacle with its own mundane chores. ryan does this once a week. "maybe it doesn't affect you directly," he says, "but a family member or someone you know." translation: i want it to end. it's not too worrying to me, but it is for my family. and in the meanwhile we just have to live with it. they have this kind of strong mentality that they say, "it doesn't matter what comes, we go through it and go forward." lukas isn't going forward. this is what happened to the house he lived in for 60 years. his wife can't bear to watch. translation: i cannot put into words, losing l the house my father built, which should have been for my children and my grandchildren. it's a miracle we have this flat because i know people who are living in cars and tents and caravans. there is no sign of this eruption easing at all. in fact, if anything, the volcano only gets more active. and it's actually grown over the weeks as the layers of lava have built up and hardened. but there is still fresh lava pouring down the hillsides too, destroying more farmlands, homes and villages, and there are new fires breaking out all the time. there are amazing survival stories. these dogs have been fed by drone for four weeks, and now there is an attempt to use one to rescue them. but there is little hope for the homes still in the way of the lava. and the longer it flows, the further it reaches, smothering more of this island. danjohnson, bbc news, la palma. at least 46 people have died as a result of two days of flooding triggered by heavy rain in northern india. images and videos from the state show flooded roads, submerged homes and fallen bridges. floods have also hit the southern state of kerala, where at least 26 people have died in recent days. the man behind popularfilm songs like goldfinger and willy wonka, has died at the age of 90. leslie bricusse had a wide ranging career writing hits for numerous musicals and films. tim allman has more. # there is no life i know. # to compare with pure imagination. you may not know the name, but you'll definitely know his songs. # if you truly wish to be. leslie bricusse — as lyricist and composer — was behind some of the most well—known and most beloved film music of the last 60 years. confirming his death on social media, his friend, the actress damejoan collins, said, "one of the giant songwriters of our time has sadly died. i will miss him terribly." sentiments echoed by singer elaine paige, who tweeted she was shocked and saddened by the news, describing him as one of our great songwriters. and nancy sinatra said, "my heart is aching today because one of the loves of my life is gone." # goldfinger! # pretty girl... leslie bricusse was born in london in 1931. in a career spanning more than seven decades, he co—wrote the theme to two james bond films, won two oscars and a grammy, and was involved in the writing of more than 1,000 songs. # the candyman can. in his memoir, he said he was one of the luckiest people he knew. generations of film—goers may disagree — luck had nothing to do with it. # cos the candyman thinks it should. incredible, incredible tunes. yes, and quite a lot of the songs i didn't know he was involved in. a lot of them everybody knows. classics. let's go to our own classic, carol. good morning. yesterday was very mild. a very warm in parts of the south—east, where it reached 21 celsius. 70 fahrenheit. today is going to be mild again although we don't expect temperatures to reach those kind of levels. rain sunshine, showers and gusty winds. heavy rain moving across southern england overnight. that will clear away. heavy thundery showers pushing north—east through the day, completed by gusty winds. gusty winds through the english channel and the channel islands. later, more heavy showers and stronger winds across the southwest. in between though we have got some sunshine. as we move north across scotland and northern ireland, some sunshine. but this weather front here is a cold front, bringing in some rain. the wind is changing direction behind it to more of a northerly. temperatures today 11 to 17 or 18 degrees. as we head through this evening and overnight at the showers heavy piling across the south. the cold front weakens. behind it clear skies and showers. we are in a colder air stream by then. the showers will be wintry on the in scotland. by the end of the night potentially as far south as the hills in north wales. tomorrow we say goodbye to the remnants of the weather front. drier conditions, a fair bit of sunshine. it will be windy. the wind blowing a lot of showers in across hills and coasts in the west, some going as far as the midlands. these are the wind strengths. temperatures a shock to the system compared to what we have been used to. they will also be a wind chill to add onto these levels. ouch! thank you. later this morning we'll get the latest official figures on the cost of living. there's been some big increases recently and nina is taking a look at what a further rise could mean. what does it all feel like, the cost of living? it’s what does it all feel like, the cost oflivinu? v , ,., what does it all feel like, the cost oflivinu? fl, ,., of living? it's bits and bobs here and there that _ of living? it's bits and bobs here and there that most _ of living? it's bits and bobs here and there that most people - of living? it's bits and bobs here and there that most people are | and there that most people are feeling. it is not necessarily a big jump feeling. it is not necessarily a big jump in something but when you are little bits here and there it does add up. lots of people noticing it. yes, the cost of living — or inflation. we get the latest official numbers this morning. it's a close eye on the average price of a basket of goods. 700 products are looked at, which are supposed to reflect where we're spending in order to work out what's going up. last month we learned that in august the main inflation index reached 3.2%. that is the biggest month on month leap since records began. but food and fuel prices have of course been going up so some experts say that could go even higher. the bank of england thinks inflation could reach 4% by the end of this year — that is way higher than their target of 2%, a number that would mean the economy was growing at a healthy rate under control. they've warned that if things don't slow down they may have to increase interest rates. why? well, usually that deters spending, encourages saving and slows down the rise in prices. 50p here on groceries, a fiver there on petrol, utility bills spiking may all feel manageable in isolation. but most families will be feeling the pinch in some way. i've been speaking with a family in manchester. this is ruth's kitchen—diner, where it all happens. ruth cooks. mum and dad nigel and susan come for a catch—up. jack does his homework on his laptop. and amy checks her messages. and i've come to see if they're feeling the force of inflation. are we ready to talk increases in prices? yes! so exciting, isn't it? laughter. how are things financially? we're just starting to notice the pinch a little bit. whereabouts is that? the biggest one for us is energy bill because we were with people's energy, who went bust. so the energy bill is doubling every month. whistle. and that's going from...? £120 to £250. ouch! and ruth is not alone — predictions are that average energy bills could reach £1,600 by next summer. and what about when you go for the big shop for the family? anything you're noticing there? i've noticed that the prices are higher for the overall shop, but where prices stay the same for things which jack likes — like grapes and strawberries and things that come in a punnet — the punnets have shrunk, so you don't get as much. and the supermarkets hope you won't notice. yes! laughter. but inflation doesn'tjust impact what we pay for things. if you're on a fixed income, like a pension, or if you have savings, high inflation means, really, you have less in your pot to spend. apart from those long, lovely lunches with your pal susan, what are your outgoings — what do you spend your money on? holidays — pre—pandemic. presents for grandchildren. as well as your teacher pension and your state pension, you have your savings, you have your investments in stocks and shares, as well. when it comes to prices going up and how far that pot of money will go, it won't be going as far soon, will it? it won't. the cash isas obviously are effectively losing value. you hope, i suppose, that the stocks and shares isas might go up, but there's obviously a risk attached to those. there could be some big decisions ahead. and some big decisions for ruth, too. her public—sector—linked pay hasn't crept up, her husband lee's salary is stagnant, and christmas is coming. we're not too far off christmas. i'm just going to talk you through amy's list. she wants airpods, telly for the bedroom, tickets for the theatre... ha! how does that make you feel? christmas is difficult because it's everything at once, and because amy's birthday is soon after christmas, actually there's not much of a break before we're back into purchasing presents for the second time. i worry that they're spending too much money on me sometimes — i don't deserve it all. erm _ yeah, when i was putting the list together i did think, i'm not going to ask for that cos it's a lot more money. and does it feel like there's money left for you? you work hard, you look after the kids — are there any treats for ruth? treats for us are quite rare, actually. right. treats are more for the children. ok. so there's... treats for us are the last thing on the agenda, usually. what would be really nice is to be able to just occasionally let your hair down and... yeah. ..you know, dream about a really nice holiday or being able to take the children out somewhere — it'd be nice to be able to take jack to the football. so it's things like that, really, that i think we would like to do more of. for lots of busy families — even those with well—paid jobs — there's a winter ahead of putting on an extra jumper, thinking twice about treats, and wondering whether it's worth saving at all... ..if there is any left to put away. thanks to the family for talking to us. interesting hearing that amy is aware of prices going up and thinking twice about her christmas list. it is important to say that none of this is normal at the moment because we are comparing prices to where they were a year ago when we were under lockdown. now because globally we have resumed spending all the time it is naturalfor prices to go up. inevitably it will level off a little bit when it comes to inflation. the question is the point at which the bank of england will decide to increase interest rates to slow it down because the prices can't keep going up. we look forward to hearing you explain all to us. we we look forward to hearing you explain all to us.— explain all to us. we get the numbers _ at seven o'clock. 18 minutes past six. it's three months since thousands of afghans were forced to flee their country and make a new home in the uk, but many are still living in hotels that were meant to be temporary. it means they don't have access tojobs, proper healthcare or education as our home editor, mark easton has been finding out. a budget hotel in buckinghamshire is currently home to 160 afghan migrants, mostly children. and after more than two months stuck there, it's the children who often find it hardest. a local primary has offered educational support, but the authorities discourage such arrangements, and that is a source of frustration. my wife and seven children, it's very difficult for us. nazeer�*s children missed a lot of school in afghanistan. and after more than two months stuck in uk hotels, he's desperate to get them back into a classroom. i think the permanent education system is not available at the moment. and we are very keen and really trust the government to sort out as soon as possible. finding suitable accommodation for large families is a huge challenge. there are fears some may be in what are called bridging hotels for many months yet. local charities help, but stuck in institutional limbo it seems even basic safeguarding is not always there. we visited some families here that have been in the country for three weeks. and children had unseen bullet holes in their legs, so we were able to muster support, get people to a local walk—in surgery. that's great, but it shouldn't be down to you! that surely is something that should have been spotted? i agree with you. but rather than complain about it, i think i can do something. heads, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes. heads, shoulders... in south london one school has found a way to get afghan children out of a local hotel and into class. after meeting a desperate migrant dad, the head at walworth academy realised that if afghan parents applied for an available place, her school was legally bound to take them. so off we went down to that hotel and quite literally sat in the lobby with a gentleman talking to him, which meant that more people and more people kept coming up, and by the next day we got a telephone call here saying, "oh, i understand you've been to this hotel. could you come down and see us? we are really interested in school places". we are so worried we can't go outside. we just work on internet. these three girls, all evacuated from kabul with their families as the taliban seized control, are thrilled to be in school at last. i'm so happy because i love education. our mind is fresh. we get more friends in here. it's too comfortable, it's too good for us. when you approached the home office and the department of education, what was the reaction to your offer of places? i think it was just a bit too early in their process. so they turned you down, essentially? they didn't turn us down directly. the education department says it is finding extra school places for afghans and trying to get children into classrooms as soon as possible. but the question is whether the government should be doing more to support the children now. mark easton, bbc news. 21 minutes past six. let's take a look at today's papers. the sun, illustrating a boosterjab "lift—off" with a rocket launch, urges its readers not to "blow it" by missing their vaccinations. the guardian leads with a warning the overnight warning from nhs leaders that government must implement a plan b for england after sharply—rising covid deaths and infections. it says sweeping measures could include the return of compulsory face coverings in some settings and more working from home. the times opts for a picture of the queen, who has "politely but firmly" declined an oldie of the year award. the paper reports that her majesty, who is still carrying out her duties aged 95, refused as she felt she didn't meet the criteria. more on this later on. "it's a miracle", says scotland's daily record, which carries an incredible picture of the aftermath of an explosion in ayr and the mum and dad who survived along with their two children, after being saved by hero neighbours. incredible picture. you start. leslie brokers, who we were talking about are just a few minutes ago, i am one of those who is wising up to all the work you did over the

they're having to make cuts to balance their budgets due to a lack of government funding. the national association of headteachers say more than a quarter had to make cuts. the government says it's providing the biggest uplift to school funding in a decade. a candlelit vigil is being held tonight in memory of a 37—year—old woman who was killed in north london. nicole hurley was a mother of four who was found dead at her home in primrose hill ten days ago. a 40—year—old man has been charged with her murder. a photographer who has been capturing images of the capital's homeless says the conditions they live in here are worse than some refugee camps he's seen. anthony dawton usually travels the world taking photographs, but has spent the last 18 months in the city. he says he is shocked by the number of people who are homeless. there was a brief period — a fortnight, maximum — when many, many of the homeless seemed to have been taken off the streets. that lasted for a very short time. and now, today, i see more and more. these people are just like us and we need to look at them, we need to look after them — we must stop walking by. the mayor of london is to become the new chair of a global network of cities committed to tackling climate change. the organisation, known as c40, has members from 100 cities worldwide. sadiq khan will take over from the existing chair —

line has minor delays, trains have been cancelled, that is an ongoing problem. there is no northern line between kennington and battersea power station because of a faulty train. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. today, it's the last day of this very mild spell of weather across the capital. from tomorrow, things will be feeling an awful lot colder. now, plenty of wet and windy weather in the forecast for today, we're starting off with still this band of rain clearing eastwards, so it's a rather wet to start to the morning for most, and temperatures are in the mid—teens in celsius so it is a mild start. there will be some sunshine around at times today, but always the chance of some heavy, thundery downpours for much of the rest of the morning, and then another band of rain makes its presence known as we head through into the late afternoon — so it will be a rather wet end to the day. it stays windy throughout, top temperatures lower than they were yesterday — peaking at around 16 degrees celsius for many of us. and then we'll start to see some changes again overnight tonight. so our band of rain continues eastwards, there will be some more showers following on behind for a time, and it's a cooler start to the day tomorrow — we've now got a north—westerly wind ushering in that much colder—feeling air. so tomorrow a chillier—feeling day — a big drop in temperature, in fact, with highs of only ten to 12 or 13 degrees celsius for many of us, quite a bit of added wind chill. we're starting off with plenty of cloud and some showers, but there will be some sunshine emerging behind, and a much chillier night on thursday into friday — which is looking dry. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and sally nugent. coming up on breakfast this morning... the queen may be 95 but she has turned down the oldie of the year trophy — we'll be getting reaction from broadcaster gyles brandreth, who chairs the awards. we'll be finding out what's next for the new british number one tennis player cameron norrie. the residents of coronation street are no strangers to disaster — actor sally ann matthews will be joining us on the sofa to tell us about the latest storyline to rock the cobbles. all of that coming up but first... the prime minister has set out the government's plans to achieve net—zero carbon emissions by 2050, saying britain will "lead the charge". among the measures is a push for more electric cars, planting more trees, and installing heat pumps to replace gas boilers — but what does all this mean for us? let's speak now to dr sara walker, director of the centre for energy at newcastle university. good morning to you. we have heard ambitious plans from the government but how are they going to impact on everybody�*s everyday lives, what is the first thing we should all be looking for?— looking for? there is a lot of information _ looking for? there is a lot of information in _ looking for? there is a lot of information in the _ looking for? there is a lot of information in the document looking for? there is a lot of- information in the document and i think the first thing we will be looking out for is this grant that is going to come through to help people who are replacing their gas boilers in the next three years, and that will cover £5,000 of the cost towards replacing it with a heat pump. towards replacing it with a heat um -. towards replacing it with a heat um . _ , . ., , , towards replacing it with

property with really thick walls, they are singly harder to put in. what are the other challenges? —— simply harder. installing, the key challenges that heat pumps operate at a slightly lower temperature compared to your typical gas boiler and that is good for your heating system to run at a lower temperature, but what that might mean is that we need to look at the size of the radiator in your house and the pipework in your house to check that it can cope with operating at lower temperatures, and so, if not, that is where it gets a bit disruptive because we have to make the rest of the heating system ready for the heat pump operating at lower temperatures. {jut ready for the heat pump operating at lower temperatures.— lower temperatures. out of 25 million homes _ lower temperatures.

10,000 of those are going into a new build so i think it is also important we get the new build sector ready for heat pumps and installing these in larger numbers. �* . pumps and installing these in

_ place yet? is there enough? tue infrastructure is coming place yet? is there enough? he infrastructure is coming along really well and there is definitely a lot more charging points in the public domain compared to three or five years ago. in terms of electric vehicles the costs are also coming down, we are seeing quite significant demand for electric vehicles. so what's out there is waiting lists for new electric vehicles. battery technology is improving, the range is improving, so we have models on the market now that have ranges of 158 to 200 miles between charges, and most trips are under ten miles and so it is a really practical option for people so is walking and cycling and i think it is important we also think about active travel. it is really good for our health. t about

couldn't have the heater on, couldn't listen to the heater on, couldn't listen to the radio, going to charge a phone and had to drive really slowly because there wasn't a perhaps a point anywhere near us where we could go and plug in. you talk about range anxiety, i think a lot of people will still feel that, won't they? t people will still feel that, won't the ? .. , people will still feel that,

start to see charge points such that it becomes common in our landscape as we move around the country. dr sara walker, it is fascinating to talk to you, thank you so much for your time this morning

great night for the english clubs in the champions league with wins for both manchester city and liverpool. eleven goals in those two games — and for liverpool, no shortage of drama, as andy swiss reports. so who's for a champions league thriller? well, liverpool and atletico madrid were, as liverpool raced into a 2—0 lead. a shot from mo salah that took a hefty deflection, and one from naby keita that certainly didn't. here's the shot! what about that? but atletico aren't the spanish champions for nothing — and back they roared. two goals from antoine griezmann — 2—2 at the break. and after it, the drama continued. a high boot, and griezmann was sent off. and when liverpool were later awarded a penalty, salah coolly made it 3—2. then atletico were given a penalty — only for the referee to consult the video and change his mind. victory for liverpool in about the most eventful way possible. earlier there'd been a mancunian master—class, as city blazed past bruges. with ten men they were quite intense to play— with ten men they were quite intense to play but— with ten men they were quite intense to play but the dirty three points are often— to play but the dirty three points

our best football but we got them and that is a big step. earlier there'd been a mancunian master—class, as city blazed past bruges. phil foden's pinpoint pass picking outjoao cancelo with impressive results. and it's tapped out brilliantly. that, though, was just the start — as, after extending their lead from the penalty spot, city cruised clear at the break, courtesy of kyle walker at then 19—year—old cole palmer — just moments after coming on as a sub. how's that for an entrance? and although bruges pulled one back, riyad mahrez rounded things off in suitably thumping style. 5—1 to city — and some statement. andy swiss, bbc news. talking of special players, what about this from lionel mess? what about this from lionel messi? scores level at 2—2 in their champions league tie and he does that, a classy penalty that won it for paris saint—germain against leipzig. a little reminder he's still up there with the very best. celtic just about kept their europa league knockout hopes alive beating hungarian champions ferencvaros. it was a great opener — kyogo furuhashi with a sublime bit of control afterjota's pass. but they only made sure of the win late on. they had a golden chance which went down as an own goal that put them two up, leaving them third in group g. remember earlier this month a number of england footballers opted not to discuss if they've received the covid vaccine? well, figures out from the premier league show 68% of players have now been fully vaccinated — 81% have had at least one jab. jonathan van tam said footballers are role models. well, i think they've got, you know, responsibilities to themselves, to their families and to their friends. but, you know, we don't want any more games cancelled. we don't want, you know, any more squads that are short, that can't fulfil fixtures because half of them have got covid. you can choose the time when you get vaccinated — you can't choose the time when you're going to have that chance encounter with covid. and then, if you're a professional sports person, you know, it could knock up something very big in your sporting life. scotland's cricketers are one win away from qualifying for the next stage of the men's t20 world cup. they beat papua new guinea by 17 runs — their second victory this week. richie berrington top scored with 70 off 49 balls before taking an excellent catch as papua new guinea fell short of their target. scotland will progress to the main group stage if they beat oman tomorrow and i know the performances of new british number one cameron norrie have captured headlines of late. andy murray, though, offering up a little reminder of his own with another victory over a top 50 player, beating the american frances tiafoe. amazingly every set went to a tie break — he said after he'd never played a match like that — to come through his opening match of the european open. he plays his second round match tomorrow. to put his body through that, it is

carol, what do you have for us? »t“3:, that is cold! good morning to you. i have a lot. there is a lot going on with the weather. overnight last night we saw some torrential rain moving across southern england. in the last 11 hours in middle wallop we had 32 millimetres of rain. the average for the whole of the month of october is 88, and currently we have some heavy rain moving in across parts of wales and south—west england. today it will be mild again. sunshine and showers will be the order of the day outside these bands of rain that i mentioned. if you are stepping outside these are the temperatures to expect. if we take a look at the radar, this is the rain i was talking about. some very large puddles across parts of the south—east, and here we have more showers coming in. some of them are emerging to give torrential downpours. move north, drier conditions, and when the french are starting to show its hand across the far north—west of scotland, accompanied by gusty winds. for the rest of scotland and also northern ireland, is to go through the morning, something drier and brighter. the same for northern england. you can see all these bright colours indicating that we are still looking at the potential for some heavy, thundery downpours accompanied by gusty winds. gusty winds through the english channel as this morning's rain in the south—east to slowly starts to pull away. through the rest of the day, if we follow these showers here, they move northwards and eastwards through the afternoon, the thunder starts to subside a bit, we see sunshine coming in behind them and also ahead of them and then we will see further heavy showers coming in across the south—west, which could also be thundery and gusty winds once again through the english channel and areas adjacent to the english channel. this weather front here is important because as it comes to the south, not only will it bring rain but the wind directional change behind it and we will see a return tomorrow to fresh conditions. temperatures today 11 to 18 degrees. tonight we have all this rain moving across southern counties, again heavyin across southern counties, again heavy in places. a weather front since south, weakening all the time, and behind it colder airfollows on and behind it colder airfollows on and it will be cold. so the showers on the hills as could well be wintry. despite the wind we could see a touch of a thrust in the north and sheltered glands. tomorrow we can see the weather front continuing to push southwards as a weak feature into the channel islands. behind it a lot of dry weather, lots of sunshine, but a lot of showers packing in on the north—westerly wind and it will be windy tomorrow. they will be potentially gales down and no sea coast because i. with a full moon tonight and the combination of the spring tide, there is the risk we could see some overtopping. temperatures come at six in lerwick to 13 as we push down towards

their experiences with the bbc, it found that more than half of them considered terminating their pregnancy. daniela relph has been to meet one woman who recorded a video diary about her experience of pregnancy. i don't get the normal experience that other people get. ijust have to sit here for nine months and just... ..wait. i still can't eat, and i can't drink. and i'm hungry. and i'm stressed, and i can't sleep. i just want to get to the end of this pregnancy... ..with a baby. alive. extreme sickness in pregnancy can be brutal. the condition — known as hg — can overwhelm you. i'm so cold. two years ago, laura anderson kept a video diary of her pregnancy. it's a horrible illness. just makes you a complete shadow of who you were. two years on, and laura is now mum to ava. we had to try very hard to get pregnant and we'd had four miscarriages and she was very wanted, and she was what kept me going. because i knew the only way to get a baby was to get to that end point, and that's what got me through. but the pregnancy left her feeling isolated and struggling to get help. she wants other women to get better care and treatment. the mentaljourney is actually harder, because that's still left over at the end of it, and that doesn't go away as quickly as the physical symptoms. it's nine months of isolation and feeling completely useless because you can't do anything. and some people have to quit theirjobs, some people have other children that they feel like they're letting down. obviously treat the physical first, because that can be very dangerous if not, but so can the mental part of it. laura had wanted more children, but she's forever changed by her hg experience. do you think you'll have any more children? no, no. i very much, at the end of ava's pregnancy, told myself, i am finally done with hg. and i was happy about that. if i could be promised that i wouldn't have hg, i would definitely have another baby. that is the only reason we're not having another baby. it's just too risky for you. yeah, yeah. i can't be a mum if i've got hg. a huge thank you to laura, who use or, for sharing her experience and being honest and giving us access to that diary. dr caitlin dean is chair of the charity pregnancy sickness support and was involved in the report. shejoins us now. good morning. first of all, it really brought it home, hearing laura's

particularly at risk and we were in a financial position to be able to afford childcare. our home was knocked at risk. a lot of women in britain, that is not the case for them and if you can't afford childcare and don't have family support and if you don't work then your home is at risk and clearly the experience will be very different and you may end up having to choose to terminate in order to

if you have a history of miscarriage or are struggling to get pregnant. and so everyone expects a bit of morning sickness, but hyperemesis is not morning sickness, it is a severe convocation of pregnancy and prior to the invention of modern anti—emetics and iv fluids, it was the leading cause of death in early pregnancy. it is a very serious condition and very occasionally women still do die from it. but as a result from this kind of confusion with morning sickness, there is still a stigma around it and it can be really hard to access treatment. even i, in my first couple of pregnancies, it and told it was a normal part of pregnancy. so we need access, better access to care and better understanding about the condition. . , , , , ., condition. that brings us up to the lace we

make cuts. the government says it's providing the biggest uplift to school funding in a decade. a candlelit vigil is being held tonight in memory of a 37—year—old woman who was killed in north london. nicole hurley was a mother of four who was found dead at her home in primrose hill ten days ago. a 40—year—old man has been charged with her murder. a photographer who has been capturing images of the capital's homeless says the conditions they live in here are worse than some refugee camps he's seen. anthony dawton usually travels the world taking photographs, but has spent the last 18 months in the city. he says he is shocked by the number of people who are homeless. there was a brief period — a fortnight, maximum — when many, many of the homeless seemed to have been taken off the streets. that lasted for a very short time. and now, today, i see more and more. these people are just like us and we need to look at them, we need to look after them — we must stop walking by. the mayor of london is to become the new chair of a global network of cities committed to tackling climate change. the organisation, known as c40, has members from 100 cities worldwide. sadiq khan will take over

onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. today, it's the last day of this very mild spell of weather across the capital. from tomorrow, things will be feeling an awful lot colder. now, plenty of wet and windy weather in the forecast for today, a we're starting off with still this band of rain clearing eastwards, so it's a rather wet to start to the morning for most, and temperatures are in the mid—teens in celsius so it is a mild start. there will be some sunshine around at times today, but always the chance of some heavy, thundery downpours for much of the rest of the morning, and then another band of rain makes its presence known as we head through into the late afternoon — so it will be a rather wet end to the day. it stays windy throughout, top temperatures lower than they were yesterday — peaking at around 16 degrees celsius for many of us. and then we'll start to see some changes again overnight tonight. so our band of rain continues eastwards, there will be some more showers following on behind for a time, and it's a cooler start to the day tomorrow — we've now got a north—westerly wind ushering in that much colder—feeling air. so tomorrow a chillier—feeling day — a big drop in temperature, in fact, with highs of only ten to 12 or 13 degrees celsius for many of us, quite a bit of added wind chill. we're starting off with plenty of cloud and some showers, but there will be some sunshine emerging behind, and a much chillier night on thursday into friday — which is looking dry. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and sally nugent. our headlines today. health leaders call for the immediate return of covid restrictions like face masks and home working,

morning. another mild day. but it is unsubtle. heavy rain, showers and gusty winds. a little bit of sunshine. details coming up. good morning. it's wednesday, the 20th of october. our main story. health leaders are demanding the immediate introduction of some coronavirus restrictions in england to avoid "stumbling into a winter crisis". the nhs confederation says a sharp rise in cases means measures, including face coverings in crowded spaces, should be implemented. here's our health editor hugh pym. the nhs confederation says that increases in hospital covid numbers are worrying, and that with other demands on the service and pressure on staff, health leaders are worried about what might be around the corner. the latest government figures show that week on week uk covid cases, deaths and hospital admissions are all rising at a rate of 10% or more, though they remain well below levels seen injanuary. what we have seen is that, although cases have been gradually moving up in the uk since early august, the last week or so there's been a particular surge in infections. and not only in infections, but we're now seeing hospitalisation data going up, people in respiratory care beds, and also deaths starting to rise, whereas deaths have been pretty flat for most of the last two to three months. the nhs confederation has called on the government to take pre—emptive action and enact plan b in england, drawn up by ministers to be implemented if pressure on the nhs becomes unsustainable, with measures including compulsory face coverings in some settings, vaccine passports and more working from home. scotland, wales and northern ireland all currently have tighter restrictions, including mandatory face coverings in some public places. yesterday downing street said the government was not complacent and there'd been no discussion about moving plan b in england, while the key message was the vital importance of the vaccine booster programme. hugh pym, bbc news. we can speak now to our political correspondent, damian grammaticus. morning, damian. so we have a situation where those numbers are stacking up, covid cases, hospitalisations and death rates. the government are sticking to the line that all options are there but they are not doing anything as yet?— there but they are not doing an hinuas et? , anything as yet? that's absolutely riuht. the anything as yet?

monitoring things. not— at the minute they are monitoring things, not moving to a higher level of restrictions.— the latest inflation figures have been released in the last few minutes. nina's here to talk us through the numbers. inflation 3.1% for the month of september. good morning. these are the numbers that we look at every month. they come from close scrutiny of the price of a typical basket of goods, from looking at around 700 goods, from looking at around 700 goods and services. in the last few minutes we have learned that inflation is at 3.1%. they are the latest figures for the month of september. that is compared to 3.2 for the month before. not as high as the months before but still a very high number. driven by increased prices in transport, household goods, prices of food, nonalcoholic drink and household services. although prices at restaurants and hotels made a slight dent in prices going up. they came down slightly. prices going up slightly quicker than comfortable. the bank of england's target for inflation is still at 2%, the point at which growth is seen to be steady and where businesses can plan. so this period of high inflation has led to the governor saying they will have to act to slow things down, quite possibly meaning they will have to increase interest rates, because that encourages saving and discourages taking on debt. just a quick note of caution though. we are comparing prices now to during the lockdown period. this is a time when consumers are able to quickly spend again. it's not a huge surprise and we shouldn't feel too spooked by this increase. but it does mean for public sector pay workers, for example, if you have had a pay freeze, and businesses hoping to recover, things feel tough, slightly out of control in terms of what to predict. things will they think, get even tougher in the short term. the bank of england predicting inflation could reach 4% by the end of the year and that is why they will be compelled to act, probably quite soon, increasing interest rates to take control of that situation. thank you. managers running care services in england say staff shortages are so acute, they have to make difficult decisions about which patients they can support. the national care forum says it shows the stark reality of the pressure the care system is under. here's our social affairs editor, alison holt. this is vital work, caring for people who are older or disabled, either in a care home like this or in their own home. but it's become so difficult to fill jobs, care managers say people are working even longer hours and office staff are filling in gaps in the rota. exhaustion from the pandemic, compulsoryjabs in care homes and better pay being offered in other sectors, are all adding to the problems. 340 care managers with more than 21,000 staff responded to questions from organisations representing them. they had an average of 17% ofjobs vacant. more than two thirds had stopped or limited some services, including saying no to taking patients from hospital. it is estimated together they have turned down nearly 5000 requests for help since september the 1st. i think all of us across the sector, including myself and many others of my peers, are really seriously concerned, because we can't see any end in sight, i guess, to the current situation. the situation is getting progressively worse month on month with no end in sight, and i think with winter coming and all the additional pressures that are placed on staffing, under normal circumstances throughout the winter, it really is a grave cause for concern. and we are seeing every single day people saying, "you know, ijust can't do this any more and i'm leaving social care." the government says it is putting more money into the care system, including investing in training and regular recruitment campaigns for staff. alison holt, bbc news. four people have been arrested in connection with a gas explosion at a house in heysham, lancashire, which killed a toddler. two—year—old george hinds died when the blast ripped through his house in may this year. his parents were also injured but survived. a man and a woman have

leslie bricusse had a prolific career writing hits for numerous musicals and films. in a career lasting 70 years, he had written at least 1,000 songs and won two oscars. the time now is 11 minutes past seven. we can have a look at the weather with carol. good morning. we have had a pretty wet night. particularly across parts of england and wales. torrential rain, now some torrential showers from the south—west. but despite all of that it is going to be another mild day. not quite as mild as yesterday. some of us will have a combination of sunshine and showers. we have got all of these showers piling in from the south—west, moving north through the day. these are notjust heavy they moving north through the day. these are not just heavy they are moving north through the day. these are notjust heavy they are thundery and accompanied by gusty winds. later we will see some more coming into the south—west. gusty winds across southern counties, the channel islands and the english channel islands and the english channel generally. for scotland, for northern ireland, you have got something drier and brighter, some sunshine. this weather front is going to bring in some rain. not the change —— note the change in the wind direction, a colder direction. in the south we are still in the milder south—west of these. temperatures today, 11 in their wake to 17 or 18 in london and cardiff. tonight we have got more rain putting across southern areas. that will be heavy. colder airfollows putting across southern areas. that will be heavy. colder air follows on behind. there will be some showers. some will be wintry on higher ground as far south as north wales. in the shelter in the lands we could see a touch of frost. tomorrow is going to be a cold day. there will be some sunshine. a few showers on the wind. the wind will be gusty, even gales down the north sea coastline but you really will feel the draft. thank you. let's return to our top story now. downing street says it's keeping a very close eye on rising covid cases, but a so—called plan b to control the virus in england this winter, has yet to be discussed. so, what is the picture at the moment? the government's latest coronavirus figures show, there were 43,738 new infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period, which means there were almost 45,000 cases on average per day in the past week. the number of people in hospital with covid is rising again — it's now 7,749. another 223 deaths were recorded yesterday — that's people who died within 28 days of a positive test. it's the highest daily figure since the middle of march. so, how concerned should we be about the next few months? let's speak to professor adam finn from the university of bristol, who also sits on thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation. good morning. great to see you this morning. lots of people listening to those numbers that we have just been reading out will be worrying about the rise in cases. can

are. good morning, i'm sonja jessup. more than a quarter of school leaders in london say they are having to make cuts to balance a lack of government funding. the national association of headteachers say more than 35% will be forced to do so soon. the government says it's providing the biggest uplift to school funding in a decade. a candlelit vigil is being held tonight in memory of a 37—year—old woman who was killed in north london. nicole hurley was a mother of four who was found dead at her home in primrose hill ten days ago. a 40—year—old man has been charged with her murder. a photographer who has been capturing images of the capital's homeless says the conditions they live in here are worse than some refugee camps he's seen. anthony dawton usually travels the world taking photographs, but has spent the last 18 months in the city. he says he is shocked by the number of people who are homeless. there was a brief period — a fortnight, maximum — when many, many of the homeless seemed to have been taken off the streets. that lasted for a very short time. and now, today, i see more and more. these people are just like us and we need to look at them, we need to look after them — we must stop walking by. the mayor of london is to become the new chair of a global network of cities committed to tackling climate change. the organisation, known as c40, has members from 100 cities worldwide. sadiq khan will take over from the existing chair — the mayor of los angeles — at the cop26 in glasgow in november. lots of train cancellations this morning. there are minor delays on the northern line between kennington and battersea power station. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. today, it's the last day of this very mild spell of weather across the capital. from tomorrow, things will be feeling an awful lot colder. now, plenty of wet and windy weather in the forecast for today, we're starting off with still this band of rain clearing eastwards, so it's a rather wet to start to the morning for most, and temperatures are in the mid—teens in celsius so it is a mild start. there will be some sunshine around at times today, but always the chance of some heavy, thundery downpours for much of the rest of the morning, and then another band of rain makes its presence known as we head through into the late afternoon — so it will be a rather wet end to the day. it stays windy throughout, top temperatures lower than they were yesterday — peaking at around 16 degrees celsius for many of us. and then we'll start to see some changes again overnight tonight. so our band of rain continues eastwards, there will be some more showers following on behind for a time, and it's a cooler start to the day tomorrow — we've now got a north—westerly wind ushering in that much colder—feeling air. so tomorrow a chillier—feeling day — a big drop in temperature, in fact, with highs of only ten to 12 or 13 degrees celsius for many of us, quite a bit of added wind chill. we're starting off with plenty of cloud and some showers, but there will be some sunshine emerging behind, and a much chillier night on thursday into friday — which is looking dry. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to charlie and sally. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and sally nugent. health leaders are demanding the immediate introduction of some coronavirus restrictions in england to avoid "stumbling into a winter crisis". the nhs confederation says a sharp rise in cases means measures including face coverings in crowded spaces and a return to working from home, should be implemented. we're joined now by

hourly basis and we don't feel that it is the time for plan b right now will stop i think what we are trying to do is get people who have not been vaccinated to get those vaccinations up, increase the uptake of the boosterjab, and what we have to remember in all of this is that the vaccination roll—out has actually allowed us to get back to some kind of normality. now, some of the data is critical, is going in a direction which we are concerned about, but if we look at the number of deaths and hospitalisation rates, those are much lower than they were at the beginning of the year and we feel the vaccine roll—out has been successful and we are going to have a good economic recovery, the fastest—growing country in the g7, 7.5% predicted this year, and we just want to keep going, keep the economy going and keep people getting back to normal life while obviously, as you say, looking critically at the data. we always need to put _ critically at the data. we always need to put the _ critically at the data. we always need to put the precautionary i critically at the data. we always - need to put the precautionary words in there. fastest—growing from the lowest point, that is the issue there, isn't it? let's go back to thoughts about what is happening right now. we were speaking a short time ago to adam finn, who is on the jcvi. in contrast to what you were saying a moment ago, he said the vaccine programme is not going to be a solution. if we want to reverse the current trend, we have got to do more. so that is adam finn from the jcvi saying you have to actively do something different. if i'm understanding what you are saying currently, the government position in england is that we are just going to hold on for a while longer and not do anything different. why are you so at odds with what thejcvi are saying? t you so at odds with what the jcvi are saying?— you so at odds with what the jcvi are saying? i am not so at odds, i don't think- _ are saying? i am not so at odds, i don't think. what _ are saying? i am not so at odds, i don't think. what we _ are saying? i am not so at odds, i don't think. what we are - are saying? i am not so at odds, i don't think. what we are trying i are saying? i am not so at odds, i don't think. what we are trying to j don't think. what we are trying to do, i am saying we have to increase take—up of the boosterjab, that is really important. that is not simply carrying on as before, we are actively encouraging people, we aged people in vulnerable groups to have a third jab and we are trying to push that, that will give us more protection. but what i am very keen to stress is that we have had our lockdown is, we have managed to reopen the economy successfully, we have managed to get people back to normal life, and those gains were very hard won and i don't want to reverse back to a situation where we have lockdown is. i don't think it is necessary. but have lockdown is. i don't think it is necessary-— have lockdown is. i don't think it is necessary. but that is precisely the oint, is necessary. but that is precisely the point. isn't — is necessary. but that is precisely the point, isn't it? _ is necessary. but that is precisely the point, isn't it? that _ is necessary. but that is precisely the point, isn't it? that is - the point, isn't it? that is precisely what adam finn was saying. matthew taylor, chief executive of the nhs confederation, they are saying precisely that. now is the time to act, to do something. for example, face masks. if nothing else, to encourage people, officially, a government message saying we encourage people. not obligate people to wear face masks more often, encourage them. now is the time when you can actively affect the growing infection rate. so, as i have tried to say, the infection rate was always likely to go infection rate was always likely to 9° up, infection rate was always likely to go up, increase as we opened up the economy because as people go back to normal life, the infection rate was bound to go up. but what was critically important was the hospitalisation rate white which is also going up, mr kwarteng. i need to interrupt you because the hospital rate is going up. neil ferguson talked about being comfortable because we always knew the rate was go up. currently, he is expecting the doubling time in the infection rate at about five weeks. the situation is that if nothing is done differently, in five weeks' time, those infection rates have doubled. now, surely, if you know that, that is the modelling, why would you not do something now rather than wait and watch a? this t rather than wait and watch a? as i have said. — rather than wait and watch a? as i have said. we _ rather than wait and watch a? is i have said, we review the data. rather than wait and watch a? is t have said, we review the data. we are not waiting and watching, we are simply trying to analyse data as we see it and come up with the right... the right policies. now, that is something which could change, but at the moment we think that the course we are plotting is the right one, and as you remember, all through this period we have had people experts say that lockdown should be longer, we should go back into lockdown, other people have been saying that we shouldn't have lockdown. and we have had a balanced approach as a government and i think, so far, even though i don't want to inject any hint of complacency, i think so far our approach is working. th complacency, i think so far our approach is

of huge daily toll of deaths, the rates now, even though it has picked up a little bit, is much lower, as is the hospitalisation rates, and this is a virus that we are learning to live with. now, clearly, any increase is concerning and we are monitoring the data, as i say, on a daily basis, but for now we think that this policy is working. it can be reviewed at any stage. we talk to the

made the point that it was from a low point but it is still a fast rebound and when you see quite, you know, strong economic growth, there is always the danger you will have inflation. another critical question is, how long will that inflation last were i speak to the governor of the bank of they are hopeful that the bank of they are hopeful that the inflation rate will be contained, that

impose, you know, change on people who can't afford it, and that is why we have committed i think £450 million to the boiler upgrade grant yesterday and we have got lots of schemes where we can try and bring people along with us by people in this country who want to say, the majority of whom want to see change and climate change addressed to bring us through the transition. it is not something we want to impose, you know, as a government, and people, nor do we want to impose additional costs and burdens, we need to bring people with us and thatis need to bring people with us and that is why

particular image. here it is. it sums up the night, sums up his season so far, no salah, when you are assessing performance levels, when you consider he has scored in nine consecutive matches now, the vessel liverpool player ever to do that, —— mo salah. it says it all. where he stands alongside the best in the world. he keeps producing and he did so on the biggest stage of all. it was quite a night for liverpool against atletico madrid. 3—2 the final score in a match that had everything. salah gave them an early lead. goal of the night came from naby keita, his volley put them two up. but atletico would soon be back in it, thanks to two first half goals from antoine griezmann. he was then sent off. mo salah winning it from the penalty spot. 12 goals in 12 games for him. not the cleanest of victories but a win's a win forjurgen klopp. with ten men they were quite intense to play. er... but the dirty three points are very often the most important and they were dirty tonight, of course. it's not our best football, but we got them and that's a big step. elsewhere, a new name to look out for — teenager cole palmer scored his first champions league goal as they beat bruges 5—1. he'd only been on the field a couple of minutes. guardiola calling it one of their best european performances. so what can we expect of city's latest academy graduate? i know how it works with the younger players in all the countries, especially this one, as well, so it is the calm, be patient, like we have done with phil. his position is the second team, he is taking on our rhythm and principles and of course he is a playerfor ourfuture. talking of special players... what about this from lionel messi? scores level at 2—2 in their champions league tie. he scored a classy penalty that won it for paris saint—germain against leipzig. a little reminder he's still up there with the very best. celtic just about kept their europa league knockout hopes alive beating hungarian champions ferencvaros. it was a great opener, kyogo furuhashi with a sublime bit of control afterjota's pass. but they only made sure of the win late on, they had a golden chance, which went down as own goal that put them two up, leaving them third in group g. scotland's cricketers are one win away from qualifying for the next stage of the men's t20 world cup. they beat papua new guinea by 17 runs, their second vioctory this week. richie berrington top scored with 70 off 49 balls before taking an excellent catch as papua new guinea fell short of their target. scotland will progress to the main group stage if they beat oman tomorrow. we'll be hearing from cameron norrie, the new british men's number one, on the programme later. andy murray, though, offering up a little reminder of what took him to the top. another battling perofrmance and another victory another battling performance and another victory over a top 50 player, beating the american frances tiafoe. amazingly every set went to a tie break. he said after he'd never played a match like that, to come through his opening match of the european open. he plays his second round match tomorrow. the current england men's football has been one of the most successful, reaching the final of a major tournament for the first time since 1966. it's also one of the most diverse. but they have had difficulties to overcome too, facing racist abuse in wc qualifiers, and after losing to italy on penalties in that final in the euros. and its a challenge they ve met head on, with black players and staff from inside the camp taking the lead. as part of black history month, alex howell has been talking to some of those leaders. bukayo saka, step up and take huge responsibility on his young shoulders. i rememberjust standing there thinking, you know, he's going to need support, and who do you want around you? you want your family, normally. well, he can't get to them yet. so ijust felt, i'm standing with you. i've grown to really - like and support these guys, but every single one, - not only the black players, but there is a connection - because of our backgrounds. chris powell is one of the most visible black coaches in the country, and over the last two years has been part of england's recent tournament success. a former international himself, he's seen progress both on and off the pitch. my generation, you know, i was fortunate enough to play this wonderful game. i couldn't really have the voice we wanted, we couldn't really speak up. john barnes now. john barnes, one of the greatest players to play in this country and play for england. might go all the way for england, barnes... he scored arguably one of the best goals ever for england away in brazil, and he flew home, there was national front on the plane. now, he couldn't say anything. now, i think people of all backgrounds are quite happy to speak about treatment of others, and not be afraid. if anyone's ever going - through something, you know, i off the pitch, whether it be racial, | we'll always speak about it and see what the best solution is. we're such a tight—knit squad, we come together, whether it be an on—the—field issue _ or an off—the—field issue. the visible black leadership doesn't stop in the senior side. the england under—21s captain marc guehi understands the importance of his role. for loads of kids out there, seeing someone like me, or someone that they look like, you know, in a position of, you know, privilege and responsibility, i think it's a really massive thing. when you grow up in an african home, as well, like mine, you know, i've got amazing leaders in my mum, in my dad, you know, uncles and aunties, as well. i was definitely someone that was there for my team—mates, trying to help them in any way i can. even now i'm still learning and trying to be the best leader i can possibly be. having leaders throughout the setup that players feel they can go to means that even in one of england's most heartbreaking moments, there was something positive for players and coaches to look at. we all have our part to play, every single one of us. i actually said it to them, because of raheem, because of tyrone, because of marcus, you don't realise how powerful you guys are now. alex howell, bbc news. fascinating to hear from chris powell and i guess it illustrates the importance of visibility, certainly within the england setup and the relationship he has with the young black players and how much he has helped them. you think about the racist abuse they have experience in batches, the fallout from that penalty shoot out and the racist abuse suffered online after the euros. having him there has been crucial. ., ,., euros. having him there has been crucial. ., , .,

the queen may be 95 but she has turned down the oldie of the year trophy because she feels she doesn't meet the criteria. the monarch "politely but firmly" declined the award saying you're only as old as you feel. so is age just a number? dave guest has been to a bingo hall in wigan to find out. age. 52. it's a numbers game. 57. but how old do you have to be... 74. ..to be considered old? 81. i would say 65. 70, 75, i'd say. anything from, like, 50 onwards. 50? 50, i would say, yeah. well, they say you're only as old as you feel, but who exactly are they? well, they include her majesty the queen. as probably the world's most famous nonogenarian the oldie of the year award thought she'd be the ideal recipient. but the 95—year—old monarch politely declined, saying she didn't believe she fitted the criteria, as one is only as old as one feels. her majesty gave no clue as to what this was in her case, but is her premise correct? are you only as old as you feel? i'm 64. and how old do you feel? about 24! 72. and how old do you feel? about 60. so what is your advice, your secret, whatever you want to call it, feeling younger than your years? keep coming to bingo, morning, noon and night. yeah. her majesty's late husband, duke of edinburgh, received the award in 2011. but it seems she has no intention of following suit. dave guest, bbc news, wigan. broadcaster gyles brandreth

queen does not believe she meets the queen does not believe she meets the relevant criteria to be able to accept and hope you will find a more where that recipient, and indeed we did find where the recipient, we were very lucky that her royal highness the duchess of cornwall who is a spring chicken in her early 70s came along to present the awards. one of the winners this year was delia smith, the great cook, who has turned 80, amazingly, he reminded us that actually your soul does not age, your body does as the years go by but your soul does not. we had two doctors from blackburn who receive the awards and they are both still practising in their 805. gps in blackburn saving the nhs between a for more than 110 years. the idea of the award is to reward people who still have snapped

what was your letter of commendation, what did it say? tt commendation, what did it say? tt came about because maureen lipman, newly again, had just met the queen had just visited coronation street. we were having the judges meeting and said the queen is in such marvellous form, and we have just had the pandemic and she is out and about, she clearly has snap in her celery and that wonderful speech, we will meet again, she is the ideal person. and her mother, the late queen elizabeth the queen mother had accepted one of these awards a few years ago. the duke of edinburgh, talking as a backhanded comment, when he got the award at about 98 when he got the award at about 98 when he got the award at about 98 when he said i suppose it is nice to be remembered, thank you for reminding me that bits are falling off. he accepted it so we thought the time was right. i wrote after the time was right. i wrote after the queen at balmoral castle and received this reply and i have to say, when you look at the papers today, there are pictures of the queen at windsor castle meeting a whole crowd of international business people, you see what her diary is for the autumn, how she will be at the cup meeting in glasgow —— the cop in glasgow, the platinumjubilee glasgow —— the cop in glasgow, the platinum jubilee next year, obviously he doesn't have time so we have given the award this year to an array of remarkable people including sir geoff hurst who is younger than the queen, and he is pretty fit. he is turning 80 and looks pretty sharp and could score a goal or two. leslie carol, the internationalfilm star, she is now 90, she got an award. but the queen, who is the oldest of the lot, well, just felt far too young for it! one of the people she knows, a lady called margaret, who managed to knit the whole of sandringham house, a huge model made of knitting wool, she is 92 and needed it to raise money for charities. she was another of our oldies of the year. all of these people have snapped in their celery and are, as the queen says, as young as they feel. taste and are, as the queen says, as young as they feel-— as they feel. we have 'ust seen ima . es as they feel. we have

on an even tougher challenge. he's here to reveal all why high drama and hollywood style stunts are making a splash on corination street this week good morning. another mild day ahead. sunshine and showers. some of the showers are fairly potent, thundery with gusty winds. rain to clear the south—east. details coming up. good morning. it's wednesday the 20th of october. our main story. health leaders are demanding the immediate introduction of some coronavirus restrictions in england to avoid "stumbling into a winter crisis". the nhs confederation says a sharp rise in cases means measures, including face coverings in crowded spaces, should be implemented. here's our health editor hugh pym. the nhs confederation says that increases in hospital covid numbers are worrying, and that with other demands on the service and pressure on staff, health leaders are worried about what might be around the corner. the latest government figures show that week on week uk covid cases, deaths and hospital admissions are all rising at a rate of 10% or more, though they remain well below levels seen injanuary. relying on the vaccine programme to kind of take care of the problem relying on the vaccine programme to kind of take care of the problem is not going to be a solution, i'm afraid. these vaccines are extremely good at preventing you from ending up good at preventing you from ending up in hospital or on a ventilator, or even dying from this infection, but their ability to stop you actually getting the infection at all, or pass it on, are modest. it obviously contributes to reducing transmission of the virus but by no means solves the problem. the nhs confederation has called on the government to take pre—emptive action and enact plan b in england, drawn up by ministers to be implemented if pressure on the nhs becomes unsustainable, with measures including compulsory face coverings in some settings, vaccine passports and more working from home. scotland, wales and northern ireland all currently have tighter restrictions, including mandatory face coverings in some public places. yesterday downing street said the government was not complacent and there'd been no discussion about moving plan b in england, while the key message was the vital importance of the vaccine booster programme. hugh pym, bbc news. in the last half hour, the business secretary told us he doesn't think there is any need for another lockdown. we've had our lock downs. we've managed — we've had our lock downs. we've managed to reopen the economy successfully. we've managed to get people

will go compared to how much things are costing. good morning. how quickly a going cute —— up? that's the question inflation answers — by scrutinising a typical "basket of goods" taken from hundreds of goods and services. for the month of september inflation was 3.1%. slightly lower than 3.2% the month before — but still uncomfortably high. why? you won't be surprised — increases in food prices, transport costs, and household services like having building and plumbing work done. that's been offset though by prices of hotels and restaurants not increasing as quickly. 3.1% is much higher than the bank of england's target of 2% ; that's where growth is steady, and businesses can plan. the recent average has been beyond that. the governor has said he will have to act to slow things down. quite possibly meaning increasing interest rates slightly. that encourages people to save and discourages people from taking on debt. should we be worried? well, we are in an extraordinary period of spending. we are coming out of a lockdown. this acceleration was predicted and shouldn't, theoretically, keep going. but what it means for your pocket is significant. for public sector workers who have had a pay freeze, for people on universal credit losing their top up, and for businesses seeking to recover things are feeling tough. and the warning is that this will increase for the next few months. tough times ahead. thank you. police are investigating a number of reports from women them incapacitated and with memory loss. victims say they have been pierced with a needle in their leg, hands and back, it's led to calls for a boycott of nightclubs in at least 30 towns and cities. over the last few months we have seen _ over the last few months we have seen an— over the last few

right. not today but tomorrow. good morning. it is still mild today but tomorrow you will really notice the difference in the temperature. today is notjust mild, it is fairly unsettled and changeable. lovely picture here from poole in dorset. we have had some torrential rain pulling in from the south—west, some heavy thundery downpours, and we have still got some rain to lose from the south—east. the rain from the south eastis south—east. the rain from the south east is moving —— west is moving eastwards. it will be replaced later in the west by further heavy showers and gusty winds through the english channel, southern counties of england and the channel islands. in between these two areas we should see some brightness and sunny spells developed. ahead of them in northern ireland and scotland, again a lot of dry weather. sunshine for you. through the day we have got a weather front coming in across the north west, introducing some rain. note the change in the wind direction to a northerly. it will turn colder. this is what is bringing the cold weather. in the south—west there are still south—westerly winds. this evening and overnight these showers gather force and move across southern england and south wales. a weather front in northern scotland sinks south. clear skies behind. front in northern scotland sinks south. clearskies behind. it front in northern scotland sinks south. clear skies behind. it is going to be windy and that wind will blow in a lot of showers, which will be wintry on higher ground. as far south as north wales. it is also going to be a cold night. tomorrow then we start off with the remnants of this front, moving away. a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine but it will be a windy day. showers packing in on that went from the north west. gusty winds down the north west. gusty winds down the north sea coastline. look at these temperatures. six to maybe 15 degrees. add on the wind chill and it will feel colder than that. get your coat out for tomorrow. thank you. seven marathons in seven days — that was the gruelling challenge taken on by kevin sinfield last year, to help his former leeds rhinos team mate rob burrow, who is living with motor neurone disease. kevin's amazing act of friendship raised more than £2 million. and now he wants to push himself even further with his latest endeavour, as graham satchell reports dramatic music plays. december last year, and an extraordinary challenge. rugby league legend kevin sinfield running seven marathons in seven days. this is a sensational try! there aren't many in super league who can do that. why seven? it was the number worn by his team—mate and best friend rob burrow. rob was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019. the run raised millions of pounds for the mnd association. but now there's a new challenge. it was kev's idea. he wanted something hard. and this seemed hard. this is going to be really challenging. the medical team at leeds at university checking fitness levels. they will play a key part in what kevin has planned next. he is going to run 100 miles in 24 hours, almost four marathons back to back, with no sleep. when you think about the seven in seven and what an unbelievable achievement that was, but that was four hours on, 20 hours off. he is not going to sleep. so, it is going to be tough and there are serious risks. kev will do it. he will need the support of everybody, but the support team and everybody in the country to get behind him, but he will absolutely do it. the route takes kev from the leicester tigers stadium where he is a coach, through nottingham, mansfield and rotherham, to the leeds rhinos ground. tom is a key part of the team. he has plotted the route. if you are running that distance, any hills and elevation is going to be a problem really, in that you ideally want it as flat as possible. but obviously if you are covering such a large part of the country, avoiding all hills is almost impossible. the money kev has already raised has helped countless families with mnd, like kirsty. i'd like to thank kevin for everyone with mnd, good luck. and if kev needed any more motivation, listen to this from rob's family. 100 miles in one day, without no sleep? you are crazy! you know we think you are amazing. thank you for doing everything you have done for my dad and people with mnd. good luck on your next challenge. when kevin sinfield reaches the leeds rhinos ground he will actually have run 101 miles, fitting for a man who has always gone the extra mile. that was a report by graham satchell. we're nowjoined by kevin sinfield and campaigner cris hoskin, who lost six family members to mnd. and sports scientist, professor greg whyte, also joins us from marlow. chris, we are going

leaders in london say they're having to make cuts to balance their budgets due to a lack of government funding. the national association of headteachers says a further 35% predict they will be forced to do so soon. the government says it's providing the biggest increase in funding in a decade. police are investigating an attack on a night bus in east london which has left one person in a life—threatening condition in hospital. it happened near mile end tube station last night. police say some passengers also suffered minor injuries. a man's been arrested. a photographer who has been capturing images of the capital's homeless says the conditions they live in here are worse than some refugee camps he's seen. anthony dawton usually travels the world taking photographs, but has spent the last 18 months in the city. he says he is shocked by the number of people who are homeless. there was a brief period — a fortnight, maximum — when many, many of the homeless seemed to have been taken off the streets. that lasted for a very short time. and now, today, i see more and more. these people are just like us and we need to look at them, we need to look after them — we must stop walking by. the mayor of london is to become the new chair of a network of a hundred cities around the world committed to tackling climate change. it's known as c40, and sadiq khan will take over from

stonebridge park and minor delays and the rest of the line. ongoing problems in the metropolitan line, as well. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. today, it's the last day of this very mild spell of weather across the capital. from tomorrow, things will be feeling an awful lot colder. now, plenty of wet and windy weather in the forecast for today, we're starting off with still this band of rain clearing eastwards, so it's a rather wet to start to the morning for most, and temperatures are in the mid—teens in celsius so it is a mild start. there will be some sunshine around at times today, but always the chance of some heavy, thundery downpours for much of the rest of the morning, and then another band of rain makes its presence known as we head through into the late afternoon — so it will be a rather wet end to the day. it stays windy throughout, top temperatures lower than they were yesterday — peaking at around 16 degrees celsius for many of us. and then we'll start to see some changes again overnight tonight. so our band of rain continues eastwards, there will be some more showers following on behind for a time, and it's a cooler start to the day tomorrow — we've now got a north—westerly wind ushering in that much colder—feeling air. so tomorrow a chillier—feeling day — a big drop in temperature, in fact, with highs of only ten to 12 or 13 degrees celsius for many of us, quite a bit of added wind chill. we're starting off with plenty of cloud and some showers, but there will be some sunshine emerging behind, and a much chillier

reintroduced in england to avoid "stumbling into a winter crisis". the nhs confederation says action must be taken now to curb a further rise in coronavirus cases. lets speak to their chief executive matthew taylor and professor charlotte summers who is an icu consultant and professor of intensive care medicine at the university of cambridge. matthew taylor, what needs to happen now? the matthew

well as long covid patients and it is rising. we have pent up demand of the last 18 months, notjust in terms of people on waiting lists but people who have not been able to go to a doctor, who announced that sadly presenting with quite advanced symptoms. the whole health service, whether it is the ambulance service, mental health, a is under immense pressure and it is only the middle of october. the commits and it would only enact plan b if the health service was at risk and we are saying it is and we need to take measures now, like wearing masks in crowded places, avoiding unnecessary indoor meetings, working from home if you can. these are inconvenient measures, but if we take them then hopefully we can stem the rising tide of infection and hospitalisation and we won't have to go further. but what we have to be absolutely clear about is that if we don't take these measures and things carry on as they are, we will reach a situation where patient safety is threatened and so we need to act now and not stumble into a crisis. good mornini , and not stumble into a crisis. good morning. it — and not stumble into a crisis. good morning. it is _ and not stumble into a

report a service thatis every day and they report a service that is under immense pressure and there is all the evidence suggesting there is all the evidence suggesting the pressure will grow and it is important to say it is the governments themselves who said that the criteria for determining whether or not to enact plan b was the safeguarding of the health and care system. so i understand that these are measures that may be difficult, inconvenient. they are a lot less problematic than if we for example had to go to full lockdown. nobody wants that to happen so we can take a variety of measures, which other parts of europe by taking even though they have lower infection rates than us. we can take those measures, carry on with normal life, and hopefully head off the worst of this

be seen in emergency departments, ambulance services are finding it very difficult to meet their response times and are unable to do so in many cases. and as the professor said, we have people on waiting lists and they are notjust patiently waiting. some of them having to but there are people with deteriorating conditions and if they are not addressed they, too, will end up the emergency department. so if we don't act now, we will be compromising the quality of care and we will be compromising patient safety. and that is a situation now. but it could become much worse over the next couple of months, and so it is a very simple choice. do we accept the overwhelming evidence from all parts of the health service and do what we can now to reduce the risks in a way that doesn't disrupt our day—to—day life with or do we somehow cross our fingers and hope that the miracle will happen and then stumble, as we have done before, into crisis? it is a clear choice and i think all parts of the health service will call on government, and the public as a whole, just watch them at this time of need. by the way, it is notjust plan b, we are calling for a plan b plus, the public themselves, they have heroically done over the last 18 months, to do what they can. get those boosterjab, the flu jab, treat the health service responsibly, use 111. if the gp offers you a digital appointment, take it, if you need a face—to—face appointment, you will get it. don't use an emergency appointment unless you genuinely have an emergency. treat health and care staff with concern and compassion. we need national mobilisation to get through this difficult winter.— this difficult winter. matthew ta lor, this difficult winter. matthew taylor, chief _ this difficult winter. matthew

executive of the nhs confederation, and professor matthew taylor, know you will echo that. we will check in with you and see how things are progressing. —— professor charlotte summers, you will echo that. we've had an update on the cost of living in the uk. it's not great, is it because now, and people have opinions about it. if you go on whatsapp, go out insolvent and ask, people will have felt it somehow. yes, the cost of living — or inflation. the experts keep a close eye on the average prices in a basket of goods — and work out what's going up and how quickly. inflation in september was at 3.1%. slightly lower than 3.2% the month before, but still much higher than economists would like. the largest contributor to inflation last month was an increases to fuel costs and car prices. there were also increases to the price of food and household services. the bank of england expects inflation could reach li% this winter and warns if things don't slow down they may increase interest rates. why? well, you'd get more for your savings and more interest on your debt so making that move does slow down spending. so 50p here on groceries. a fiver there on petrol. a bump in utility bills. they may all feel manageable in isolation. but most households will be feeling the pinch in some way. i've been speaking with a family in manchester. this is ruth's kitchen—diner, where it all happens. ruth cooks. mum and dad nigel and susan come for a catch—up. jack does his homework on his laptop. and amy checks her messages. and i've come to see if they're feeling the force of inflation. are we ready to talk increases in prices? yes! so exciting, isn't it? laughter. how are things financially? we're just starting to notice the pinch a little bit. whereabouts is that? the biggest one for us is energy bill because we were with people's energy, who went bust. so the energy bill is doubling every month. whistle. and that's going from...? £120 to £250. ouch! and ruth is not alone — predictions are that average energy bills could reach £1,600 by next summer. and what about when you go for the big shop for the family? anything you're noticing there? i've noticed that the prices are higher for the overall shop, but where prices stay the same for things which jack likes — like grapes and strawberries and things that come in a punnet — the punnets have shrunk, so you don't get as much. and the supermarkets hope you won't notice. yes! laughter. but inflation doesn'tjust impact what we pay for things. if you're on a fixed income, like a pension, or if you have savings, high inflation means, really, you have less in your pot to spend. apart from those long, lovely lunches with your pal susan, what are your outgoings — what do you spend your money on? holidays — pre—pandemic. presents for grandchildren. as well as your teacher pension and your state pension, you have your savings, you have your investments in stocks and shares, as well. when it comes to prices going up and how far that pot of money will go, it won't be going as far soon, will it? it won't. the cash isas obviously are effectively losing value. you hope, i suppose, that the stocks and shares isas might go up, but there's obviously a risk attached to those. there could be some big decisions ahead. and some big decisions for ruth, too. her public—sector—linked pay hasn't crept up, her husband lee's salary is stagnant, and christmas is coming. we're not too far off christmas. i'm just going to talk you through amy's list. she wants airpods, telly for the bedroom, tickets for the theatre... ha! how does that make you feel? christmas is difficult because it's everything at once, and because amy's birthday is soon after christmas, actually there's not much of a break before we're back into purchasing presents for the second time. i worry that they're spending too much money on me sometimes — i don't deserve it all. er... yeah, when i was putting the list together i did think, i'm not going to ask for that cos it's a lot more money. and does it feel like there's money left for you? you work hard, you look after the kids — are there any treats for ruth? treats for us are quite rare, actually. right. treats are more for the children. 0k. so there's. .. treats for us are the last thing on the agenda, usually. what would be really nice is to be able to just occasionally let your hair down and... yeah. ..you know, dream about a really nice holiday or being able to take the children out somewhere — it'd be nice to be able to take jack to the football. so it's things like that, really, that i think we would like to do more of. for lots of busy families — even those with well—paid jobs — there's a winter ahead of putting on an extra jumper, thinking twice about treats, and wondering whether it's worth saving at all... ..if there is any left to put away. thanks to ruth for letting us invade at tea time. they're noticing inflation — and ruth and lee are on good incomes. millions of public—sector workers who've had a pay freeze will also be feeling it. and for some people on universal credit things will be much, much harder. on top of that, businesses are having to cope with disrupted supply chains and inflated costs. these are unusual times driven by emerging from lockdown — prices will go up if you all stop spending, then all start again at the same time. but however big that inflationary dent is making in your income — be that income low or high — it's set to get bigger before it comes down. thank you for explaining all of that. are going to talk about a tennis success story now. cameron norrie only turned professional four years ago, but�*s it's been quite a rise for the newest star of british tennis. the 26—year—old
