arsenal's premier league recovery continues and young star emile smith rowe is singled out for praise after their dominant win over aston villa. and the day ahead on the weather front isn't looking too bad for most of us. a little bit of rain around here and there, but on the whole, a fine day. there are fresh calls from the government today for eligible people to go out and get a boosterjab. the chancellor, rishi sunak, has hailed the vaccines as a way to prevent another lockdown. it comes as scientists call for plan b measures in england to be made ready to go if needed. that would see the return of face masks, covid passports and working from home. megan paterson reports. the prime minister shared this video on social media last night, reinforcing the message that the next stage of the vaccination rollout is central to the government's covid plans this winter. but, as colder weather approaches, ringing expected winter pressures to the nhs and covid hospital admissions go up week on week, calls for the return of some restrictions grow louder.— week, calls for the return of some restrictions grow louder. there has been too little, _ restrictions grow louder. there has been too

going. the economy won't manage if we don't have people who are well enough to work in the economy, and we also don't have the staff in hospitals to don't have the staff in hospitals to do it. i think plan b is inevitable. in the times newspaper this morning the chancellor, rishi sunak, has reiterated that case numbers are in line with what was expected and restrictions will be reviewed if necessary, saying that a range of options are available and those are not options that involve lockdowns or very significant economic restrictions. covid boosterjabs and flu vaccination is the key to protection. the former head of covid vaccine delivery in england, doctor emily lawson, has now returned to the post, credited with the early success of the vaccine rollout, her return indicating ministers anticipate significant strain on the nhs in the coming months. data for england from the 0ns last week shows the sharpest rises in covid case rates were among children, but there were some increases among older age groups as well. the uk has recorded over 40,000 new daily covid cases for the past ten days. experts from sage, who advised the government, say winter covid admissions are increasingly unlikely to rise above the levels of the peak injanuary this year, but planning for possible new measures should begin now. the actor alec baldwin was told a gun was safe moments before he fatally shot a crew member on the set of his new film. that is according to new documents filed as part of the police investigation into the death. the hollywood star said in a statement there were no words to convey his shock and sadness. 0ur north america correspondent david willis reports. we have people accidentally shot on a movie set by a prop gun. we need help immediately. that a movie

northern new mexico. police arrived to find ms hutchins, an up—and—coming cinematographer, dead, and the film's director badly hurt, their injuries inflicted by the film's star, alec baldwin, who according to court documents was handed a gun he was told was safe to use, but which was in fact loaded with a live round. in a statement, alec baldwin said he was cooperating with the police investigation. this is not the first tragedy of its kind. nearly 30 years ago on the set of the film the crow, brandon lee, the son of martial arts expert bruce lee, died after being shot by a gun firing blanks. safety standards are being tightened on film sets since then, but on the family twitter account, brandon's sister shannon posted the message, no—one should ever be killed by a gun on a film set, period. unconfirmed reports suggest that several crew members walked off the set in new mexico only hours before halyna hutchins died, in protest at working conditions and concerns about safety. as detectives comb the set for clues, the key question facing them is how did a live round and up ina gunfired them is how did a live round and up in a gun fired by alec baldwin? the chancellor, rishi sunak, will announce hundreds of millions of pounds in new spending for projects to support children and families across england in next week's budget. devolved administrations will receive an equivalent funding boost under the plans, described by labour as a sticking plaster. 0ur political correspondent peter saull reports. there are just five days to go until the chancellor opens his red box once again. he says he wants children to get the best possible start in life, so on wednesday there will be a £500 million funding package forfamilies. that will be a £500 million funding package for families. that includes £100 million to support the mental health of new and soon to be parents, the supporting families programme, which offers targeted help to the most vulnerable households, will get an extra £200 million. there is also £80 million for a network of new family hubs across england. these family hubs are described as one stop shops where parents and their children can access all the services they need. they are similar in some respect to sure start centres, which were introduced under tony blair in the late 1990s. many have closed since the conservatives came to power in 2010, so labour says that the new funding rings hollow and is nothing more than a sticking plaster. but the government believes the new hubs are a significant upgrade on sure start, arguing that they help children of all ages and their parents. also in next week's budget, england's city regions are to receive significant investment to improve public transport. train, bus and cycle projects will benefit from and cycle projects will benefit from a share of more than £5 billion. scotland, wales and northern ireland will also receive extra funding under the plans. greater manchester's labour mayor, andy burnham, said it was an important first step. police believe a four—year—old girl who disappeared almost a week ago in the australian outback was abducted from her tent. a reward of $1 million australian, more than £500,000, has been offered for information on her disappearance. let's talk to our correspondent phil mercer, who's in sydney. phil, what are the latest developments? the police in that part of western australia have called off the search at the campsite where cleo smith went missing more than a week ago. they are now casting their net across a massive area, notjust of western australia but the whole continent itself. western australia is more than ten times the size of the united kingdom, so this is a massive search operation. 0n the ground near the campsite, the search is being wound down, but the criminal investigation into this suspected abduction is now getting into full year. the police want to see video camera footage from motels, from dash cameras, really trying to get any clue whatsoever of this four—year—old girl. and what makes them think she was abducted is that when her parents found that she was missing from the family's tent early on saturday morning, more than a week ago, the zip had been lifted to a height that a four—year—old would not have been able to reach. the authorities are gravely concerned for this little girl's safety. {iii concerned for this little girl's safe . , ., ~ concerned for this little girl's safe . , ., ., safety. of course. thank you for now, safety. of course. thank you for now. phil—

had become something of a holy grail for birdwatchers has been spotted in the wild for the first time in 150 years. there hadn't been any sightings of the shelley's eagle—owl since the 18705. that was until this week, when scientists from imperial college london interrupted one during its daytime nap in a forest in ghana. the pair only saw the bird for about 10 seconds, just enough time to get this photograph. ifi if i had spotted that in the wild, i wouldn't have taken a picture. 15c! wouldn't have taken a picture. 150 ears, as wouldn't have taken a picture. 150 years, as well. it is amazing. let's take a look at today's front pages. the mirror leads on the hollywood actor alec baldwin, who fatally shot a crew member while on a film set. the paper says he was heard asking, "why was i handed a hot gun?". the times leads on its interview with the chancellor, rishi sunak, who says shops, pubs and restaurants must not shut again to deal with covid. the paper says his comments are the strongest signal yet that the government intends to face down pressure to reimpose restrictions. meanwhile, the i leads on a warning from some scientists who are calling on the prime minister to implement the government's covid plan b as cases rise. and one of the most read stories on the bbc news website is about the fisherman's friend founder, doreen lofthouse, who died earlier this year.

looking bad at all for most of us, it is going to be a mild day, and facts and quite mild for the next few days. a little bit of rain in the forecast. not too much though. most will arrive later on tonight and into tomorrow from this weather front is approaching to the west of our neighbourhood right now. it looks like an awful lot of rain on the weather front but as it approaches the british isles the rain is fizzling out to an extent. but more importantly it is actually bringing a lot of mild weather from the southern climates, so all this mild hour out in the atlantic will be over us notjust through the weekend but well into next week as well. so this is what it looks like this morning, a lot of cloud ahead of this weather front here as it moves into ireland, northern ireland and western scotland through the course of this afternoon. ahead of it you can see around 14— 15 degrees, a little bit of sunshine around, sometimes the clouds will be thick enough to produce a few spots of rain but it won't amount to much. different approaches western areas of the uk, it will be windy over the next 24 hours, 15 miles an hour gusts here but breezy around the irish sea, wales, the south—west as well, these are the morning temperatures at 7am tomorrow so if you are popping out early in the morning, it will be quite mild. in the east, spots of rain, some good behaviour towards the west but mostly fizzling out and i think tomorrow we will call it a bright enough day with a shower or two and temperatures around 14— 16 degrees, quite a mild one today and tomorrow. here is a look at the forecast for sunday night into monday, these mild westerlies, these mild atlantic window and these are going to keep temperatures relatively high for the time of year through most of the upcoming week. this is what monday looks like if you are planning anything, i think a day of sunny spells and showers, you can see showers are mostly across some western and south—western areas, 15 degrees in the south, a little fresher in the north but actually through the course of the week the temperatures, given a bit of sunshine, could add up to around 17 or 18 degrees across southern and western areas of the uk. even 17 in belfast, that is not bad for october at all. but the second half of the week does look quite autumnal with the rain becoming more prevalent across the uk. flan the

week's travel show. this week on the show... offering a helping hand to lost seal pups in ireland. when she came in, she didn't look too great, but now she looks beautiful, one of the prettiest seals i've seen! terrified, but this is what it's all about, so let's give it our best shot. and the 26—mile slog to shake off the post—lockdown blues in paris. we are off to ireland next to meet some of its cutest residents. but seal pups that live around the coastline have been having an increasingly difficult time. more frequent storms are causing larger numbers of baby seals to be separated from their mothers before they learn to fend for themselves. we have been to meet a team of mostly volunteers who have devoted their lives to the rescuing and rehabilitation of lost seal pups. meet galaxy. she has become a bit of a social media star for seal rescue ireland, and we arejoining her on her biggest adventure yet. in this pool we have galaxy who is just about ready to be released and we will release her tomorrow. she is a very special seal because this is her second time in rehab. she laughs. she was one of the smallest... she laughs. ijust got splashed. galaxy the seal battled through the centre's icu and the only seal they have ever rescued twice. but why is it that seals like galaxy even need to be rescued ? seals come to us for very many reasons. they get trapped in netting and we also have orphaning, a baby and mum could be out swimming in the ocean when a storm rolls in unexpectedly, they get separated and then the baby will come to the beach lost, looking for his mum and that is when we will come in and monitorfor a couple of hours to see if she does come back to find him, but often they don't so we will take the pup into care. many of the pups are fighting life—threatening injuries and illness. most are just too small to survive on their own. we can put some water on it, it is ok. seal rescue ireland's income relies heavily on its visitor centre. so when lockdowns hit, it was a real blow. but now they can once again welcome visitors in small groups with social distancing in place. galaxy! three, two, go. galaxy! she knows the drill. the time has finally come for galaxy to return to the sea. when she came in she didn't look too great but now she looks beautiful. one of the prettiest seals i have seen, and she is happy and ready to go to you know, working with wildlife you don't want to get attached to them, because they are wild animals, and they do bite so you need to be careful. but you see them go through the rehabilitation journey and you experience all their ups and downs and to see them finally go back is just really rewarding to watch. is it a boy or a girl? it is a girl. lovely. so we will open the cage in a few minutes and she willjust slowly make her way to the sea. we ask that everyone keep a safe distance from her and let her go at her own pace, 0k? this is kind of what we need to promote. the climate and biodiversity crisis can feel so overwhelming, it can feel like we are doomed, but having a little wins like this inspires people to pull together and change things. now, you may recall last month we caught up with freddie pearson, a graduate from london. he has had struggles with mental health in the past and says a lack of travel during the last 18 months has had an impact on him and his friends. but he has got a plan to take on the post lockdown blues, and it involves a lot of running. i think young people have really missed being able to travel and go to new places. a lot of people have been looking for the four walls for a lot of their day or in the same space and every day merges into one, which makes things difficult. to go and run around paris, i will be honest, it will feel like i am in a movie. it is so beautiful and there is so much going on. such an amazing atmosphere. last one in the bag before the marathon. i start up by the champs—elysses, go past the eiffel tower, along the seine and all the amazing landmarks of paris. given everything going on over the last year i feel so lucky to be here, big night's sleep ahead of me and get ready to go. one thing about these things i love is that there's lots of freebies. a stamp and not a signature. signature, like both. what time does this close? at six. thank you. so i turned up to collect my race number and it turns out in france when you run a race you have to have a medical certificate from your doctor to say that you are fit and able to run. so i need to do that now in a very short space of time to make sure i can get registered in time to run this marathon tomorrow. asap. it is proving to be a bit of a nightmare. it is a saturday and no—one is in the gp office but i'm just trying to get it sorted. thank you so so much, i appreciate it. so there is a doctor and he will check it. yes! we got it! now i'm going to go get my number and then we can race. let's go. so it is the morning of the marathon the nerves are sitting in a little bit. but good nerves. let's go hit the road. you start to see all the people coming out and all the signs of the marathon, you do realise that this is it. you can see the finish line. we go in about two minutes, and i would be lying if i said i wasn't terrified but it is good to be doing this after a year. look, we're in paris! so, first few kilometres in the bag. calves feeling nice and loose. just getting started. just got to put my head down. he everything he about that was unreal. real battle of the mind, and over the last 18 months i think we have all had our mental challenges and we have had to battle against ourselves at time. an amazing, amazing feeling today, i could not recommend it more to anyone. that is not pretty. finishing time, three hours and two minutes. let's go get a beer! what a great achievement and what a great way to see paris as well. best of luck to freddie in the future. that is all we have time for this week. coming up next time, new and improved: we're visiting the recently reopened iconic parisian department store la samaritan. a velvet beret! as they say, when in paris... you can find more of our recent adventures on bbc iplayer or on social media. just search for bbc travel show on the major platforms and you will find us there. until next time, wherever you plan to go to, stay safe, have fun and we will see you soon. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with nina warhurst and ben thompson. cycling has become hugely popular during the pandemic and many people are willing to spend thousands of pounds on their bikes. that has brought unwanted attention from robbers, and police are expecting an increase in bike—jackings in the run—up to christmas. zoe conway reports. this is a picture of bike—jackers making off with a £7,000 bike. their attack on cyclist mark redfield took seconds and it was terrifying. i just suddenly noticed that i was being followed by a motorbike, and it wasn't overtaking me, which was strange. i looked back and i could just see them eyeballing my bike, and then next thing i know they pull up and then next thing i know they pull up alongside me, pull out a machete and were like, give me your back. my reaction wasjust to and were like, give me your back. my reaction was just to flee as quickly as possible, and then they hit me with the motorbike that, like, 36 kilometres per hour, and then i went flying, hit the floor. by the time i had got up, the guys were holding their machete out, because it was outside of school, so no—one would approach. and then they picked the bike up and then got on the back of the bike, and that was the end of that. it was over in about — under 40 seconds, so it was really, really quick. 40 seconds, so it was really,

guy over your shoulder is a young and promising talent for them. they would be a lot of happy arsenal fans this morning excited about his future. he looks pretty excited there. 21—year—old emile smith rowe was described as superb by manager mikel arteta after arsenal beat aston villa 3—1. smith rowe came through the arsenal academy and he has impressed arteta by changing his lifestyle and taking his game to the next level. he set up thomas partey for the opener. that is his first goal for the gunners, and early in the second half, smith rowe rounded off the scoring. that moved arsenal into the top half of the table. when you want to take the game to the next level, when you become a really important player in such a big club, that should be the only priority and every detail is important and relevant. you have to make him aware of that, that you cannot give percentages away. that cannot give percentages away. that can make big differences, and he has changed that. credit to

that gave them three wins from three, leaving them top of their group. but they have played a game more than in—form spain, and only the group winners automatically qualify for the finals in 2023. wales are bidding to make their first major tournament, but they could only draw 1—1 with slovenia. kayleigh green scored the equaliser, but she was later sent off. wales are second in their group behind favourites france. it is going to be an historic day at wembley, with england's women playing a competitive match there for the first time. northern ireland are the visitors and both sides have yet to drop a point in qualifying so far. it's obviously may be something we thought would happen a bit more frequently following on from the germany game, so for it to finally come around and for it to be the first competitive fixture i think is a milestone for us. so hopefully the performance will match the occasion. although it is massive, it is wembley, it is england, we have a 'ob wembley, it

underway this afternoon. they're up against the defending champions, west indies, who narrowly beat them in the final of the last competition — and that was way back in 2016. but england are now the 0ne—day world champions, and they're hoping to make history by holding both titles at the same time. patrick gearey reports. these are some of the most destructive batsman in the world, and they are english. england have their pit of —— pic of debtors who are prized by t20 franchises across the globe, so earning your spot depends on runs, not rank. even the captain isn't sure of his place in the

will turn. so both england and scotland are in the super 12 stage of the t20 world cup. but they won't be joined by ireland, who suffered a shock defeat to namibia, the lowest—ranked side in the competition. they lost by eight wickets. katie archibald has won britain's first gold medal at this year's world track cycling championships in france. it has been a great yearfor archibald. she took olympic gold in the madison with laura kenny, three titles at the european championships earlier this month, and she is now world champion in the omnium, where riders compete in four different events. i was so nervous at the start of the day. it is not every omnium that we have qualifiers, and i was sat there feeling like — i'm too nervous to eat, thinking i will never do this again. this is too much, i can't take this feeling. and i said to myself, look, well, if this is your last race, then whatever. 0bviously last race, then whatever. obviously it went well enough that i think i will come back again. courtnall skosan really enjoyed his debut for northampton saints last night in rugby union's premiership. the south africa wing scored a hat—trick on his debut as they beat worcester by a

with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. and are you listening and at home, the weather today for most of us is not looking too bad. it's not going to be clear blue skies, but they will be some brightness around. mild as well. in fact, it would be quite mild for the next few days, really. 0n the satellite picture we do look at some angry —looking clouds herejust satellite picture we do look at some angry —looking clouds here just to the west of our neighbourhood. that is a weather front which will bring some rain later on, at least parts of northern ireland in western scotland. and then over the next 24 hours some other areas as well. there is not going to be an awful lot heading our way. more importantly, this weather front is bringing a lot of mild air, which will be over us notjust through the weekend but actually through much of the week ahead. so mild, mild weather on the way over the next few days. here is the weather front as it approaches ireland, northern ireland, western scotland through the course of today. quite windy in the course of today. quite windy in the western isles here. elsewhere across the country, variable amounts of cloud and sunshine and around 14 to 15 celsius, actually not too bad for the time of the year. here is the forecast for tonight. you can see the rain approaching western areas of the uk. at times it could be heavy but for most of us it will not be. a very mild night, ten to 13 degrees. these are the sorts of temperatures we typically get during the daytime, and this is first thing in the morning. that is tomorrow and sunday, and a dry start across many parts of england, but then the rain will move through. it is not going to be persistent. if you look at the rain, you can see it broken up, bits and pieces here and there, and if anything the sun is going to come out certainly at one point or another tomorrow as well. 16 in london, 14 in glasgow, again dad temperatures were tomorrow. and then this mild westerly is with us really through much of the week ahead. this is sunday night into monday. you can see these persistent westerly wind, the area is not particular cold in these parts of the atlantic so all of that is moving away. here is the forecast for monday, a good breeze blowing out from the west, blowing some showers into scotland, the north—west of england, a few showers further south as well. 15 degrees in the north, a little bit fresher in scotland i think on monday. but as we go through the course of the week, in some spots temperatures could even briefly reach the high teens. belfast could them 10 degrees on tuesday, could be around 17 midweek on the south as well. cloudy, breezy, mild, with a little bit of rain now and then. share cloudy, breezy, mild, with a little bit of rain now and then.-

emily, sophie and beth took their own lives. so to try and raise awareness of the hope that is out there for anyone contemplating suicide, they took on an epic challenge. they have walked the 300 miles between their homes in cumbria, greater manchester and norfolk over the past 15 days. having set out to raise £3000 each for suicide prevention charity papyrus, their total has now exceeded £450,000. donations have come in from celebrities like nicole kidman and daniel craig who have given £10,000 each, and prince william has even written a letter to the dads. along the way they have heard many other stories, like tracy's, herson heard many other stories, like tracy's, her son charlie took his own life. �* , , ~ ., ., own life. because they know what we're going _ own life.

welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. this is most peculiar and most welcome. nice to have you back. great to be back and to have cinemas open again. a real mixed bag this week, we have the french dispatch which is the new film by wes anderson. frank herbert's dune — the unfilled model novel is back on screen. —— until the bull novel. ——unfilmable. and we have dear evan hansen, a stage to screen story. of the three mention, the french dispatch is the one i want to see. i love the grand budapest hotel. and who could not love that? i love grand budapest hotel. i like royal tenenbaums. he has extraordinary filmography, you watch a couple seconds of the film you know you're watching a wes anderson film. this is set in a fictional town which chronicles the creation of the last edition of the french dispatch. the publisher has just died. the publication is very much in the mould of the new yorker. as an incredible cast with frances mcdormand becoming involved with timothee chalamet's young radical. she is writing about the student uprisings. the assignment also involves her reading, proofing and improving on his manifesto. here's a clip. ah! i'm naked, mrs krementz. i can see that. - why are you crying? reargas. — also, i suppose i'm sad. please turn away, i feel shy about my new muscles. go tell your parents you're home, they are worried. . i'm expected back on the barricades. i didn't see any barricades. well, we are still constructing them. ah, what are you writing? a manifesto. i told them not to invite paul, by the way. maybe you are sad, but you don't seem lonely to me. exactly! i saw you at the protest on top of a bookcase taking notes. is there a story in us? for the people of kansas? maybe. now, you laughed twice during that clip. it's a comedy and meant to be funny, you can see that it is very wes anderson. ok, you arejumping ahead of me. it is funny. that clip is in black—and—white, it flits between black—and—white, colour, 4x3, widescreen, between live—action, and it breaks into animation. the whole thing plays out in very wes anderson fashion like a metronomic music box. everything is choreographed to within an inch of its life. if i have a reservation about it, and i do, it's that sometimes the film can seem a little bit like, the only description that works for me is, imagine in a box of fondant fancies. they look fabulous but after you've eaten three that's enough. and there's still another three sections of the film to go. i suspect, you've given me the evil eye now, it is a very, very wes anderson film. it is the most wes anderson film i think he has ever made. wes anderson fans will love it, i needed a bit more of a way in. i need a little bit more of engagement. it's very funny, very full and quirky. itjust felt a little bit impenetrable, but i think a second viewing would change that. i'm not entirely sure i have the patience for it. i will come with you. 0k! i'll do that. and then i will make you agree with me. i like the fact the synopsis says it's a love letter to journalists, and frankly journalist need a little bit of that. that's one of the reasons why it's getting such good reviews is because those reviews are written journalists. you cynic. dune — have you read dune? no, of course i haven't. this is the unfilmable sci—fi novel. jodorowsy tried, david lynch did it, but not very well. we don't know what there is going to be a part two, it is filmed by denis villeneuve. he made arrival and blade runner 2049, which i loved. timothee chalamet in his second—story role of the week and he is perfectly fine. he is verbally fine in the central role as paul atreides. this is what i like about this, it looks fabulous. it has a real sense of awe and spectacle to it. the giant worms of the novel, there in the david lynch film, huge worms are actually brought to the screen in a rather brilliant and awe—inspiring way. the whole thing makes sense which is astonishing, because the lynch version makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. that's david lynch though, i bet. i think he tried to make it make sense and you discovered what denis villeneuve did, which is you cannot do the book in one film, you have to break it in two. i think this is pretty spectacular and even if you had not read the book he would so find much to enjoy. and the giant worms are really impressive. are they friendly giant worms? no, and they are really giant. i didn't think so. they are quite big, these worms. now the next one. dear evan hansen, this is gone from the stage to the screen. and has not been well received on screen but well received on stage. the story is a young socially awkward high school boy is told by his therapist to write letters to himself. here's a scene with ben platt who starred in the original stage production and julianne moore as his mother. so you just didn't eat last night? i wasn't hungry. you're a senior in high school, you need to be able to order dinner for yourself. you can do it all online, you don't have to talk to anybody. 0k, well that is not true, actually, you know, because the credit card| is expired so you have to meet the delivery— person at the door. you know, you have to pay them with cash at the door, _ you have to greet them. you know, you have to figure out the right, the right... _ the proper greeting. 0k. this is what you're supposed to be working on, sweetheart. with doctor sherman. have you been doing those letters he wants you to do? dear evan hansen. i definitely... i've been trying to. _ those letters are important, honey. you have to keep working. you can't go back to where you were last year, right? you have an appointment this afternoon. i'm working till six, so you are going to have to take the bus. hey — i thought you could go around and ask all the other kids to sign your cast. perfect icebreaker, right? so the plot is, one of the letters he writes to himself ends up in the pocket of somebody else at school who dies. it is then taken that it was a letter written to evan hansen, and they were friends and he plays along with this because initially he does it to be kind to the parents, but when he discovers it brings them social except ability which he did not have before. it is been criticised for two things, first that the plot works on stage and not so much on screen. i agree with that, there's some things that big stage productions, big bold gestures, on screen not so much. others have said that ben platt who is now in his late 20s, is too old to be playing a high school kid. it was all i can say is, ok, grease. everyone in grease is, you know, approaching bus pass age. james dean was in his well into his 20s at that point of rebel without a cause, if we are starting not liking tennis has movies because the people in the looked to old we are going to have to wipe out most of those in it looked to old, we are going to have to wipe out most of those movies. i have not seen the stage show, i know people that have seen it prefer it, i thought the plot was contrived and it cried out for you to weep. i rather liked and it did move me, and i did cry because i, you know, it worked. you don't admit that very often. i love crying in the cinemas. one of my favourite things to do. it's a wes anderson film, its not there to make you cry, is there to make you go hmm, hmm. i will not have you making those noises sitting next to me. now, best out, venom: let there be carnage. would it surprise you to hear it would not be on my list? me neither, but this is the second one which is so more fun. tom hardy has two faces, one of them is the alien pairs at looking inside them. i laughed so many times, so much more in this than in many alleged comedies. i did not go into this thinking it's going to be really good fun, and it was a roller coaster ride. it is alien meets all of me. and i think that is a movie pitch that works. under the tutelage of andy serkis who is just good. is it meant to make you laugh? yes, it's an action comedy. i was not laughing at it, i was laughing with it. but ijust did not know whether from the title does not really lead you to believe it's a comedy. it's a cartoon character with a lot of humour. and a parasitic alien? which let's face it is always funny. best dvd, the sparks brothers. it's a documentary, were you a fan? i did like them. even for me, a sparks fan, lots of stuff i didn't know. working on these film projects, they ended up opening at the cannes film festival. it goes through every single record that they made and shows how they reinvented themselves all the way through. it is directed by edgar wright who made baby driver and his new movie last night in soho is coming out next week. it's got interviews, animation, it's gotjokes, it has slapstick. it's over two hours long and it just flew by for me. some people think it is for sparks fans only, but i think this is the kind of documentary if you did not love sparks before you would come out and want to buy all of their albums. you can pause for breath now. that was very, very insightful. and maybe i should try dune. anyway, that's it for this week. lots to see, isn't there? thanks to mark, thanks for watching. bye— bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with nina warhurst and ben thompson. 0ur headlines today: court documents show that alec baldwin was told that a prop gun was safe in the moments before he accidentally killed a crew member on set. get out and

win over aston villa. and the day ahead on the weather front isn't looking too bad for most of us. there might be a little bit of rain around here and there, but on the whole a fine day. it is saturday 23 october. our top story: the actor alec baldwin was told a gun was safe moments before he fatally shot a crew member on the set of his new film. that is according to new documents filed as part of the police investigation into the death. the hollywood star said in a statement there were no words to convey his shock and sadness. 0ur north america correspondent david willis reports. two people accidentally shot on a movie set by a prop gun. we need help immediately. that call to emergency services the first public indication of the tragic events that had unfolded in the foothills of northern new mexico. police arrived to find halyna hutchins, an up—and—coming cinematographer, dead and the film's director, joel souza, badly hurt. their injuries inflicted by the film's star, alec baldwin, who according to court documents was handed a gun he was told was safe to use but which was in fact loaded with a live round. in a statement, alec baldwin said he was cooperating with the police investigation. this is not the first tragedy of its kind. nearly 30 years ago on the set of the film the crow, brandon lee, the son of martial arts expert bruce lee, died after being shot by a gun firing blanks. safety standards have been tightened on film sets since then. but on the family twitter account, brandon's sister shannon posted the message, "no—one should ever be killed by a gun on a film set. period." unconfirmed reports suggest that several crew members walked off the set in new mexico only hours before halyna hutchins died, in protest at working conditions and concerns about safety. as detectives comb the set for clues, the key question facing them is: how did a live round end up in a gun fired by alec baldwin? there are fresh calls from the government today for eligible people to go out and get a boosterjab. the chancellor, rishi sunak, said vaccines were the first line of defence against covid and the country could not return to significant economic restrictions. it comes as scientists call for plan b measures in england to be made ready to go if needed. megan paterson reports. the prime minister shared this video on social media last night, reinforcing the message that the next stage of the vaccination rollout is central to the government's covid plans this winter. but as colder weather approaches, bringing expected winter pressures to the nhs, and covid hospital admissions go up week on week, calls for the return of some restrictions grow louder. there's been too little too late, as far as i'm concerned, from the government regarding keeping urgent care going. the economy won't manage if we don't have people who are well enough to work in the economy, and we also don't have the staff in hospital to do it. so i think plan b is inevitable. in the times newspaper this morning the chancellor, rishi sunak, has reiterated that case numbers are in line with what was expected and restrictions will be reviewed if necessary, saying that a range of options are available, and those are not options that involve lockdowns or very significant economic restrictions, covid boosterjabs and flu vaccinations the key to protection. the former head of covid vaccine delivery in england, dr emily lawson, has now returned to the post. credited with the early success of the vaccine rollout, her return indicating ministers anticipate significant strain on the nhs in the coming months. data for england from the 0ns last week shows the sharpest rises in covid case rates were among children, but there were some increases among older age groups as well. the uk has recorded over 40,000 new daily covid cases for the past ten days. experts on sage, who advise the government, say modelling suggests that winter covid admissions are increasingly unlikely to rise above the levels of the peak in january this year, but planning for possible new measures should begin now. new tram carriages, battery packs for trains and extended cycle highways are just some of the transport projects set to receive a funding boost in next week's budget. it is part of efforts to redress an imbalance between london and other parts of england. our business correspondent katy austin has more details. whether you travel for work or leisure, by bus, train or something else, how easy is it to get about where you live? next week the chancellor will confirm £5.7 billion of funding, more than had an expected, for projects aimed at improving transport connections in city regions, including the west midlands, south yorkshire and the tees valley. a few examples are new trains for the metrolink, battery packs for metro trains and an extended cycle however west bradford. a group which champions northern england said the investment was

than commuters in the capital for their bus or train to arrive, but labour said the government lacked a coherent plan. as well as a boost for transport, there will also be hundreds of millions of pounds in new spending for projects to support children and families across england. 0ur political correspondent helen catt is in our london newsroom this morning. helen, how significant is this

million in their to set up by the government is calling family hubs. they say that the idea of this is that there will be a sort of 1—stop shop where parents can access all the services that they need. now, you might be thinking that sounds remarkably similar to the sure start centres that were set up under tony blair. a lot of those have since closed, so labour point to that and says, look, this is a sticking plaster, that this is a sticking plaster, that this announcement rings hollow. but we understand that the government believes its family hubs will be an upgrade on what you can access to the sure start centres. this funding, though, is for england only. there will be extra funding for scotland, wales and northern ireland and we will find out the details of that later. we

abducted from her tent. a reward of $1 million australian, more than £500,000, has been offered for information on her disappearance. let's talk to our correspondent phil mercer, who is in sydney.

offer so early in an investigation. it is an indication, i think, in an investigation. it is an indication, ithink, as in an investigation. it is an indication, i think, as to how worried the authorities are about cleo smith. she was last seen on a family camping trip about 550 miles to the north of perth, just over a week ago, and the authorities are of the belief that she was taken some time during the night. a brief timeline, the family arrived at this campsite north of perth, the young girl went to bed about 8pm in the evening, at 1:30 girl went to bed about 8pm in the evening, at1:30 a.m., she girl went to bed about 8pm in the evening, at 1:30 a.m., she woke up for some water, at 6am, a few hours later, she was gone. what leads the authorities to believe that she was snatched during the night is that the zip had been opened apparently to a height well beyond that of a four—year—old girl. so this is a massive search. the search near the campsite has now been wound down. it is now a broader criminal investigation. not only spanning the state of western australia, which is about ten times the size of the united kingdom, but this is a nationwide hunt for

91, has left her fortune to a charity that strives to develop her hometown of fleetwood. fleetwood town council said it was overwhelmed by the generosity. and a lovely town it is, and i am sure that investment will make it even better. a £500 million support package for children and families will be at the centre of the chancellor's budget and spending review next week. rishi sunak says the money will fund better mental health support alongside a new network of family hubs across england. let's talk more about this with neil leitch from the the early years alliance. the government is saying there is this realisation that the first 1000 daysin this realisation that the first 1000 days in life are critical to a child's development. they are bit late to this? i child's development. they are bit late to this?— late to this? i think i have to say it is welcome _ late to this? i think i have to say it is welcome news _ late to this? i think i have to say it is welcome news for _ late to this? i think i have to say| it is welcome news for struggling families. what i find quite frustrating is it because belief there is not a single reference in this proposal to providing critical support to nurseries, childminders, preschools, when government knows that they have been closing their doors in the thousands, and yet they are left out of this whole policy. i hope there is more coming in the spending review, buti hope there is more coming in the spending review, but i do question why you would create another infrastructure of early years support when the existing structure is crumbling around you? government knows this is the case. it is a sort of bitter pill to swallow to see all of bitter pill to swallow to see all of this and yet the existing system is ignored. the

compare to other countries? well, it is significantly less _ compare to other countries? well, it is significantly less as _ compare to other countries? well, it is significantly less as a _ is significantly less as a percentage of gdp. but let me just say one thing. it is no good constantly saying we have invested x, why or z. constantly saying we have invested x, why orz. 2.5 constantly saying we have invested x, why or z. 2.5 years ago, we were constantly hearing from government that we invest x, why, z. so we say to them, if you think you invest enough money to support the system, show us your computation, show us yourfigures. 2.5 years show us your computation, show us your figures. 2.5 years later, show us your computation, show us yourfigures. 2.5 years later, after numerous legal battles, they were forced to give the information across. the reason they drag their feet is because they said themselves that by 2021 it would cost an extra £2 billion. so their words, not mine, it would cost £5.6 billion and not £3.6 billion. why constantly trot out this baseless figure? they know it is crumbling around them. again, from that report, which they were forced to release, they said that basically speaking they accepted that prices for parents would increase by up to 30% where they did not get this so—called free entitlement, and that they also acknowledged parents may not return to work as a result of it. again, why ignore something that is so fundamental and come out with a new initiative? itjust beggars belief. £200 million being invested in the supporting families programme, which targets are specifically vulnerable families. you work with many of them. how would that be best spent? i would suggest it will be best spent across the whole portfolio, not just the 1001 spent across the whole portfolio, notjust the 1001 days. it is no good just supporting — and i am not saying you take that money away, by any stretch of the imagination. what i am saying is it is no good supporting a child the 1001 days and on day 1002 you have destroyed the very infrastructure that takes them all the way through to school. this needs to be a complete package. this needs to be a complete package. this needs to be a complete policy. but we have no strategy in place, so compared to other countries, we flounder from compared to other countries, we flounderfrom one compared to other countries, we flounder from one crisis to the next. so that is what is disappointing about all of this. what do you make of the family hubs, £18 million being invested in those, 150 across the country, across england alone, comparing that to 3500 sure start centres that the government got rid of?- 3500 sure start centres that the government got rid of? well, i think viewers will

is just a revamp of an existing policy, and why did they allow sure start centres whether on the vine. i can only assume it is the same approach to allow early years providers at this particular point in time to go by the wayside. we have closed our doors. 3000 providers have closed their doors from the beginning — almost 3000, i should say, from the beginning of this year. 16,000 in the last six years. that tells you we have a crumbling infrastructure. i come back to this point. it is no good just having a bits and pieces approach to this. it needs a complete revamp. we need an independent review to look at our early years and education system in the uk. if we were talking about five—year—old children, we would not be having this discussion. somehow we realised that if we fail to get it right then effectively it will cost us billions. somehow we ignore that, just because a child is under the age of five. igrate that, just because a child is under the age of five.— the age of five. we await the details. many _ the age of five. we await the details. many thanks - the age of five. we await the details. many thanks for - the age of five. we await the| details. many thanks for your the age of five. we await the - details. many thanks for your time this morning. time for a look at the weekend weather forecast. good morning. the weekend is looking pretty good overall, at least today. we will get to tomorrow. the weather will be mild for the next few days, in fact temperatures at some point in fact temperatures at some point in the week ahead could even nudge up in the week ahead could even nudge up to 18 celsius. so this is what is happening, at the moment a weather front is approaching western parts of the uk, ahead had a bit high pressure is actually dominating the weather across england and wales, so here the weather isn't looking too bad at all through most of today. there will be cloud, may some glimmers of sunshine now and then, but with them while they're coming from the south it shouldn't feel too bad at all. up towards the west we have mild hour but also cloud is thickening, winds are increasing and we have some outbreaks of rain. not too heavy, in fact it probably won't be until later in the afternoon before northern ireland gets much, and also the rain in scotland will be mostly in the western isles. so strong winds and outbreak of the rain but the bulk of scotland is looking dry, edinburgh, glasgow, belfast should be fine as well and then the rest of the country east and south looking fine. but through the course of tonight, the weather front is moving a little further towards the east so they will be rain overnight across western areas, but towards the east and the south again it stays dry. 10— 13 degrees overnight, that is typically what we get during the daytime, and this is a morning temperature. very mild hour over us and this is notjust through the weekend but right through the weekend but right through the weekend but right through the course of the week ahead. —— mild air. as the weather front moves across the country it actually fizzles away so we are left with little bit of rain so tomorrow we will call it a little changeable, some sunny spells, passing showers, temperatures 14 in glasgow, 16 in london but a little on the breezy side. but not a bad day. through the course of sunday night into monday we see strong winds —— westerly winds blowing across the uk and is weather pattern is with us all through the week. at some point temperatures are given a bit of sunshine could get up to 18 across the south of the uk. but the mild areas with us on monday, a few showers across western areas, sunshine, sunday will be quite a sunny day but because of the breeze it will take the edge of the temperature so 15 in london, ten in stornaway. here is the outlook for the week ahead, 17 in cardiff, maybe even 17 in belfast which really is not bad at all for this time of year. you can see mid or even high teens through most of the week. on the whole, in summary, not bad. we the whole, in summary, not bad. e will take not bad, won't we, for this time of year. every week, presenter ros atkins takes an in—depth

european countries. these are the uk's over death over the same period. they are gradually rising, and higher than most of these same european countries. the war countries are seeing far lower deaths

vaccinated many more children. all of this means the government's handling of the vaccine rollout is under attack. the government's handling of the vaccine rollout is under attack.— rollout is under

socialising is pretty much full tilt in the uk, scotland and wales have easily introduced vaccine passports for some larger venues, but in the rest of the uk they are not needed. as for masks, in scotland they are legally required in some circumstances, in england the government doesn't require them, but some local authorities in england do on public transport. in reality, though, that is patchy. go on the underground in london, you will see lots of people without masks. that contrasts with germany where masks are legally required in certain places and use is high. the labour party

about ventilation, all of these medications have been maintained on the continent, the levels are now a fraction of hours. the data on the impact of masks in uk is farfrom the data on the impact of masks in uk is far from straightforward. there is broader large—scale research that shows masks reduce transmission, but the data right now suggests this isn't a major driver of case numbers in the uk. and we know that despite some policy differences across the four nations including some mandatory mask wearing, we are seeing similar covid patterns for all of the uk. and those patterns are leading some nhs leaders to call for a range of measures to be brought back. they say it is time the government's plan b. the government _ the government's plan b. the government said _ the

been emerging about how the actor alec baldwin came to fatally shoot a crew member on the set of his latest film in new mexico. we can speak now to tommy lopez, a reporter for kob 4 news channel, which was the first news team to arrive at the scene after the shooting. tommy, what is the latest? we are getting more details of this investigation, in its very early stages right now. what more do we know overnight?— stages right now. what more do we know overnight? good morning, guys. on friday in — know overnight? good morning, guys. on friday in the _ know overnight? good morning, guys. on

did learn new details about what happened leading up to this tragic accident. we know that it was actor alec baldwin who fired the rounds, and that these rounds fired out of a p"°p and that these rounds fired out of a prop gun were live rounds. this is coming from a search warrant that was revealed on friday. the folks handling the props reportedly thought the gun had blanks, but it did not. that came out on friday. the gun had actually misfired before on the same set earlier this week according to nbc news reporting. there is also reporting that several members of the crew had walked offsetjust hours before, citing safety concerns. there were a number of issues that led up to this, but again, the big takeaway from friday is that these were live rounds that were fired, that injured two people, killing one woman, on set. fiend were fired, that injured two people, killing one woman, on set.- killing one woman, on set. and we have also heard, _ killing one woman, on set. and we

from alec baldwin himself tweeting yesterday, there are no words, he said, to convey his shock and sadness. i wonder what the reaction has been to his comments. yes, this is a film industry in the state of new mexico that is something, a tightknit community, the reaction of shock and sadness is widespread tonight. really across the united states people are still grappling with this. many experts that work on sets that handle props and guns say it is hard to imagine that this could even happen. there are so many procedures that are in place, safeguards to make sure that nothing could ever happen. everyone we have talked to in our reporting over the last 48 hours says that live rounds should never be on a set, so something clearly went wrong here. we actually heard for the first time a 911 call that came from one of the crewmembers just after this and that crewmember started blaming another specific other crewmember, saying that these procedures were not followed, the gun was not checked and something certainly went wrong before this tragic accident. fiend certainly went wrong before this tragic accident.— certainly went wrong before this tragic accident. and as you said,

traumatic for everyone involved. it is hard to imagine even being on that set that day, and for production to continue. but right now we just know that it has halted and the future of this american

couple of requests from aston villa over the summer to purchase him. that didn't go through and he signed a contract with arsenal. he wanted to be here and he is really one of these future stars. the face says it all, doesn't it? it really does. it was another impressive performance from him. emile smith rowe came through the arsenal academy and he has really been impressing manager mikel arteta, who called him superb after their 3—1 win over aston villa. he has knuckled down and changed his lifestyle in order to improve his game, and that is showing on the pitch. last night he set up thomas partey for arsenal's opener. that is his first goal for the club, and smith rowe rounded off the scoring, with a little help from a deflection and the post. when you want to take the game to the next level, when you become a really important player in such a big club, that should be the only priority, and every detail is important and relevant. you have to make him aware of that — that you cannot give percentages away. that can make big differences, and he has changed that. credit to him. captain rachel corsie came to scotland's rescue in their women's world cup qualifier against hungary. they were heading for a costly draw at hampden park when corsie scored a last—minute winner. they're top of their group, with three wins from three. but they've played a game more than in—form spain, and only the group winners automatically qualify for the finals in 2023. wales are bidding to make their first major tournament, but they could only draw 1—1 with slovenia. kayleigh green scored the equaliser, but she was later sent off. wales are second in their group behind favourites france. england's cricketers get their t20 world cup campaign underway this afternoon. they are up against the defending champions, west indies, who narrowly beat them in the final of the last competition. but ireland failed to make it to the super 12 stage thanks to a shock defeat to namibia, the lowest—ranked side in the competition. they lost by eight wickets. we could be in line for another fiery contest between lewis hamilton and max verstappen at tomorrow's us grand prix in austin, texas. the pair clashed in second practice, with verstappen calling hamilton a stupid idiot over the team radio after the two raced side—by—side down the pit straight. verstappen also aimed a rude gesture at his rival as they sped out of the corner. he was eighth—quickest with hamilton third. red bull's sergio perez clocked the fastest time, ahead of lando norris. katie archibald's fantastic year continues. she has won britain's first gold medal at the world track cycling championships in france. archibald already had an olympic gold medal and three european titles and she is now world champion in the omnium, where riders compete in four different events. i was so nervous at the start of the day. you know, it's not every omnium that we have qualifiers. and i was sat there feeling like — too nervous to eat, thinking i'll never do this again, this is too much, i can't take this feeling. and i said to myself look, well, if this is your last race then whatever. obviously it went well enough that i think i will come back again. she is brilliant, she is one of those athletes who is completely human, not pr trained at all. it is fantastic when _ human, not pr trained at all. it

having her with me all the time to putting her in childcare and having to go to work full—time. but i think if you enjoy driving lorries, it is not something everyone can do. so once you are

following andy, mike and tim's epic walk in memory of their daughters, who all took their own lives. 0ur reporter alison freeman is waiting at the finishing line and joins us now. we can see they are

andy, mike we need to remind you what this is allabout, andy, mike and we need to remind you what this is all about, andy, mike and tim, three dads brought together by the deaths of their daughters, emily, sophie and beth, who all took their own lives. what these men did, they found each other and they decided they wanted to raise awareness of they wanted to raise awareness of the issue. in doing so, they have raised an awful lot of money as well. more than £450,000 from people just sticking in a five as they walk along, to really big celebrities like daniel craig, james bond. he gave £10,000, and yesterday nicole kidman also gave £10,000. i will read you a little bit of what she had to say. she said that she saw the guys' story on this programme and that she was profoundly moved by what they were doing. she said that because of what had happened over the past year, and the impact that the past year, and the impact that the pandemic has had on the young, it was really important right now. she dedicated her donation to the three girls, which the dads have told us that they are really touched by. it is notjust about the money, though. you can see the guys from papyrus, they have a helpline which young people can ring if they need any help in their darkest of times. the guys have a phrase, which is suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. that is the message they have really been trying to get out there. on the walk, they have met so many different people who have told them their stories, their experiences of suicide, and what they have told us is itjust shows us how important it is that they talk and get people talking about it. the guys will be coming up here, the end of their 300 mile walk, three dads between three homes, at 9:30am this morning. iubie

in norfolk this morning. here is tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. good morning to you. the weather todayis good morning to you. the weather today is not looking too bad for most of us. it is a little fresh at the moment in some spots, in for example aberdeenshire last night temperatures dipped down to minus two degrees. for most of us it is a mild story, and notjust today or tomorrow but really for the week ahead. this is the satellite picture, and you can see some rather angry looking clouds to the west of us. thankfully this weather front is going to fizzle out as it moves across the uk over the next 44 hours or so. across the uk over the next 44 hours orso. but across the uk over the next 44 hours or so. but there will be some rain around, but not an awful lot. it is also bringing some very mild air from the southern clients, so the temperatures will be pretty high both by day and by night. but it is not a sunny day. in fact, there is a lot of cloud in the forecast. you can see across many parts of england and wales in scotland later on we will have outbreaks of rain in the western isles, and some rain fleeting across northern ireland, and additionally here in the north—west it will be quite windy. that will take the edge of the temperatures. but for the rest of us, with a bit of sunshine, 13, 14 or 15 degrees. actually not too bad for the time of year. here is our weather front, for the time of year. here is our weatherfront, and i mentioned that it will be decaying or falling apart as it moves across the uk. you can see that by the early hours of sunday morning, this is 7am, it is out towards the west. still some heavier bits and pieces here and there but dry across the east and south of the country. as we go through the course of sunday morning, what is left of that weather front is cloud, and a few showers. that is pretty much it. i think on the whole tomorrow is not looking bad at all. if anything, tomorrow could actually be a bright and sunny day once this weather front moves through towards the west, could be some decent sunshine and temperatures will be around the mid teens. here is the weather map for sunday night and into monday, and what we see is low pressure to the north of us, high pressure to the north of us, high pressure to the south of us. that means that the winds are going in this direction. the air across the atlantic isn't particularly cold, it is actually quite mild. that mild air will be basically sliding over us in these westerlies throughout monday and most of the week ahead, so one monday we will call it sunny spells, a few scattered showers, temperatures will be around 15 degrees in the south, a little bit fresher here in scotland, tend to 12 or so, and then the outlook for the week ahead — ijust want or so, and then the outlook for the week ahead — i just want to point out these ten bridges, 17 in cardiff possible, belfast as well, even 18 in london. it is going to be quite a mild week, but not a sunny one, but i think we will take it. sometimes it is a lot worse at this time of year. we can't have it all, it is mid—0ctober. thank you. now it's time for this week's newswatch. hello, and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. coming up — as he leaves the bbc, rory cellan—jones tells us how reporting on technology has changed in his 40 years at the corporation. and in covering the death of sir david amess, how relevant is the ethnicity of the man charged with his murder? the death of sir david amess at his constituency surgery last friday has led to a lot of soul—searching in commentary and analysis of the possible reasons behind the attack, and what can be done to prevent similar incidents in the future. alan lomax sent his thoughts on this: as for the bbc�*s reporting of the murder itself, one aspect caught the attention of some of you, demonstrated here by daniel sanford on last friday's news at six. 0ne witness, who was opposite the church when it happened, told me he saw a woman coming out and calling an ambulance and then, after armed police arrived, he saw a man of african appearance being away. of african appearance being led away. ben ward—lewis responded like this: 0nline and in broadcast since then, ali harbi ali, who was charged with murder on thursday, has been described in bbc coverage as being "of somali origin". but other viewers thought bbc news didn't make enough of his ethnicity and was too slow to mention it. adrian rundle left us this message late on friday evening. i'm just appalled that the bbc are not reporting that it is a man from somalia that's been arrested. other news networks are. why on earth should you be protecting this man or protecting the muslim faith? at the end of the day, this is the person who has been arrested on suspicion of stabbing, and the bbc should report the facts and not be so left—wing and �*woke' that they don't want to report the truth. we asked bbc news for their reaction to those two opposing criticisms, and they told us: in the wake of sir david's killing, politicians have been speaking about the abuse they receive online and that's put the focus again on social media companies and whether they can do more to moderate and exclude content. it's a reminder of how ubiquitous facebook, apple, google and so on have become, and how central they are now to much of the bbc�*sjournalism — particularly the reporting of technology correspondent rory cellan—jones. rory�*s about to leave the corporation and we'll be speaking to him in a moment. but first, a reminder of some of his work in a 40—year career covering a wide range of subjects. here in nanwich, the complete variety of british cheeses is on display and they're keen to emphasise it's notjust a load of old cheddar. now, the really revolutionary thing about this car is that there's no steering wheel and no paddles. ——pedals. everything is controlled from this central stick. it steers the car, it brakes it, it turns the lights on — everything. here's the problem — just about everyone who wants a phone has already got one, and they can't really get any smaller, so the industry's betting that sales will now be kick—started by bigger phones that can do more. from presidents to pop stars, from footballers to royals, they've all decided that a tweet is the best way to speak to the world, to publicise your latest album or maybe to announce an impending birth. well, the bbc�*s outgoing technology correspondent rory cellan—jonesjoins me now. it was a bit of a this is your life moment. that was a terrifying selection of clips! i was fascinated by the cheese! how has the bbc�*s tech — for reporters, i was thinking — changed since you first joined — in 1981, was it? ididjoin in1981. i was in leeds as a researcher on look north. we were on film. you had to wait 45 minutes for the film to go through what was called the bath, the processing studio. even when i came to london as a producer in the tv news room in 1983, there was not a computer in sight. in fact, to my huge embarrassment, my first real encounter with computers in the newsroom was to go out on strike of them. ——on strike over them. we were all called out on strike because we wanted some money to use the beastly things. but then, of course, everything changed. computerisation affected every area of industry, including broadcasting, and the bbc raced to catch up and adopt the latest technology. right up to kind of news and filming on your phone. i wondered as well, if you can, what would you say is the most important tech story that you've covered? well, the day — a few days after i was appointed officially technology correspondent — i'd been covering the area for ages and eventually they said, "oh yes, we'll call you technology correspondent" — in 2007, i was at the unveiling of the iphone by stevejobs in san francisco — that was january 2007. and in retrospect, that looks like the beginning of a huge revolution, the smartphone era. there had been smartphones before then, but not ones that really captured the imagination. and everything has changed since then. if you think of what we had in 2007 in terms of connectivity and what we have now, that was the moment that we realised that we were all going to be carrying incredibly powerful computers around with us wherever we went, and they would change a lot of the way we lived and worked. makes me think of one of the complaints that we've had over the years on newswatch, which is launches like that — were they, too often, free advertising on the bbc? well, that's fascinating. i was actually hauled onto this programme the weekend after my report went out because some people said, "that's just a plug for a new product by apple". and i defended myself, and i was slightly heart—in—mouth about it. isaid, i remember, "just imagine that the bbc had been around when the model t ford arrived. should we have covered that, or was thatjust a product? no, it was the beginning of the motoring revolution." and, as i said, i stuck my neck out and said, "well, this could be the start of another revolution, so it is significant". and i think i've been proved right. we're going to make some history together today. ithink, you know, we're in danger of not reflecting the incredible advancements in technology, not giving people a flavour of the magic of technology because we're rightly concerned about the negative impacts, too. when you think, for instance, the advancements made in artificial intelligence over the last ten years, which are quite extraordinary — the fact that computers can translate from one language to another instantly, that computers can see things and know what they are, that computers are learning to drive cars — these are extraordinary and important developments and yes, we should cover the negative sides but we should also give people a sense of wonder about these gadgets. i mean, that's what i've tried to retain throughout — a sense of excitement about technology. some of those early stories were very optimistic, weren't they, about the potential of things like, you know, music streaming, smartphones, as you mentioned — but you're leaving this beat as the mood around a lot of these tech companies and their products has really soured, and coverage has become much more serious about possible regulation, hasn't it? yeah, i think there's a sort of arc in this journey. from 2007 to about 2012, there was huge optimism about this technology. we were enjoying using it, we were excited about each new product and i put the high point at — do you remember the london 0lympics' opening ceremony in 2012 when tim berners—lee sat onstage and sent a tweet out, saying, "this is for everyone"? and it seemed to be a democratising force, this combination of smartphones and social media. and ever since then, it's been downhill, frankly, and we are now more aware of the obsessiveness of these gadgets — i'm one of the worst for staring at my phone all day, tweeting virtually 24 hours a day — but also the power of these social media networks to cause harm, as well as the good that they claim they can do. now there's an argument that, given the size and power of some these corporations — the likes of google and amazon, and apple — that, in a sense, we should challenge them the way that we challenge governments and i wonder if the bbc does that enough. well, i think we do. i mean, one thing you should be aware of is notjust the power they have, but the obstructiveness in terms of getting them to come on air. i mean, apple is a great case in point. a brilliant company in many ways, extraordinarily controlling. i've not had an interview with an executive from apple in more than ten years. i did interview stevejobs a couple times, never been allowed to interview tim cook. got close one time, and was then told that the interview had been given to an american tv channel. when i watched his piece, it involved him hugging tim cook as tim cook came offstage, which is not quite how the bbc would've done it. so we are faced with very, very powerful and controlling organisations. well, we just wish you all the best in your retirement. thank you so much, rory, for coming on. well, i've enjoyed it. and can i say also, i'm still huge believer in the mission of the bbc. it's a place where we go forfacts, truth, impartiality in a world where that's becoming more difficult to find. rory cellan—jones, thank you. thank you. finally, if some people struggle to get to grips with new technology, the latest inflation figures also provided problems for wednesday's lunchtime news. the cost of living dipped slightly in september, despite rising prices for fuel and transport. the office for national statistics says inflation is measured by the consumer prices index, dipped to 3.1% last month. well, those of you with a grasp of numbers will have noticed that if inflation was 3.1% last month, then that means that prices have actually risen by that amount, not dipped. it's the rate of inflation that's gone down, not the cost of living itself. robert rozek was one of those who spotted it, and he recorded this video for us. i was watching the bbc news at 1pm on wednesday and was surprised to hear that the cost of living, according to the headline, has gone down in september. this wasn't actually true and, in fact, the package that followed showed that the rise in the cost of living had gone from 3.2% in august down to 3.1% in september. however, the package was introduced with the words "the cost of living has dipped in september". i'd have thought the bbc could tell the difference between a rise and a fall. thank you for

booster. a fresh push for eligibile people to get theirjabs, amid rising concern over the rates of coronavirus. there'll be half a billion pounds to support families in the chancellor's budget next week, but labour call it a "smokescreen". and i'm here in the village of shildon where in about an hour and half time, three dads will be walking along here to the finish line of the epic 300 mile charity walk in memory of the daughters. arsenal's premier league recovery continues. and young star emile smith rowe is singled out for praise, after their dominant win over aston villa. and the day ahead on the weather front isn't looking too bad for most of us. there might be a little bit of us. there might be a little bit of rain around here and there, but on the whole, a fine day. it's saturday the 23rd of october. our top story... the actor alec baldwin was told a gun was safe moments before he fatally shot a crew member on the set of his new film. that's according to new documents filed as part of the police investigation into the death. the hollywood star said in a statement there were "no words" to convey his "shock and sadness". 0ur north america correspondent david willis reports. two people accidentally shot on a movie set by a prop gun. we need help immediately. that call to the emergency services, the first public indication of the tragic events that had unfolded in the foothills of northern new mexico. police arrived to find halyna hutchins, an up—and—coming cinematographer dead and the film's directorjoel souza badly hurt. the injuries inflicted by the film's star alec baldwin, who according to court documents, was handed a gun he was told was safe to use but which was in fact loaded with a live round. in a statement alec baldwin said he was cooperating with the police investigation. this is not the first tragedy of its kind. nearly 30 years ago on the set of the film the crow, brandon lee, the son of martial arts expert bruce lee, died after being shot by a gun firing blanks. safety standards have been tightened on film sets since then, but on the family twitter account brandon's sister posted the message, no one should ever be killed by a gun on a film set. period. unconfirmed reports suggest that several crew members walked off the set in new mexico only hours before halyna hutchins died in protest at working conditions and concerns about safety. as detectives comb the set for clues, the key question facing them is how did a live round end up in a gun fired by alec baldwin? david willis, bbc news, los angeles. there are fresh calls from the government today for eligible people to go out and get a boosterjab — the chancellor rishi sunak said vaccines were the �*first line of defence' against covid and the country could not return to �*significant economic restrictions'. it comes as scientists call for �*plan b�* measures in england to be made ready to go if needed. megan paterson reports. the prime minister shared this video on social media last night, reinforcing the message that the next stage of the vaccination rollout is central to the government�*s covid plans this winter. but as colder weather approaches, bringing expected winter pressures to the nhs, and covid hospital admissions go up week on week, calls for the return of some restrictions grow louder. there�*s been too little too late, as far as i�*m concerned, from the government regarding keeping urgent care going. the economy won�*t manage if we don�*t have people who are well enough to work in the economy, and we also don�*t have the staff in hospital to do it. so i think plan b is inevitable. in the times newspaper this morning the chancellor, rishi sunak, has reiterated that case numbers are in line with what was expected and restrictions will be reviewed if necessary, saying that a range of options are available, and those are not options that involve lockdowns or very significant economic restrictions. covid boosterjabs and flu vaccinations the key to protection. the former head of covid vaccine delivery in england, dr emily lawson, has now returned to the post. credited with the early success of the vaccine rollout, her return indicating ministers anticipate significant strain on the nhs in the coming months. data for england from the 0ns last week shows the sharpest rises in covid case rates were among children, but there were some increases among older age groups as well. the uk has recorded over 40,000 new daily covid cases for the past ten days. experts on sage, who advise the government, say modelling suggests that winter covid admissions are increasingly unlikely to rise above the levels of the peak in january this year, but planning for possible new measures should begin now. meanwhile trade unions representing three—million front—line workers have joined those calling on the government to take urgent measures to curb the spread of the virus. inajoint statement, unison, usdaw, unite, gmb and aslef have all warned the current approach to managing the pandemic risks creating "another winter of chaos". a no 10 spokesperson said ministers are monitoring the situation. the chancellor, rishi sunak, will announce hundreds of millions of pounds in new spending for projects to support children and families across england in next week�*s budget. devolved administrations will receive an equivalent funding boost under the plans — described by labour as a "sticking plaster. 0ur political correspondent, peter saull reports. there are just five days to go until there are just five days to go until the chancellor opens his red box once again. he the chancellor opens his red box once again-— once again. he says he wants children to — once again. he says he wants children to get _ once

there will be a £500 million funding package forfamilies. that will be a £500 million funding package for families. that includes £100 million to support the mental health of new and soon—to—be parents, a supporting families programme which offers targeted help to the most vulnerable households will get an extra £200 million. and it is £80 million for a network of new family hubs across england. these family hubs are described as one—stop shops where parents and their children can access all services they need. they are similar in some respects to sure start centres which were introduced under tony blair in the late 1990s. many have closed since the conservatives came to power in 2010.— have closed since the conservatives came to power in 2010. viewers will make u- came to

funding rings hollow and is nothing more than a sticking plaster. but the government believe the new hubs are a significant upgrade, arguing they help children of all ages and their parents. as well as support for families, the chancellor says an investment of more than five billion pounds for transport projects will help address an imbalance between services in the capital and other parts of england. 0ur political correspondent helen catt is in our london newsroom for us this morning, helen, it�*s a significant amount of money, how will it be received? and in those regions it is going to, i think it is going to be pretty well received. the conservative mayor of the west midlands says this is the largest single transports his area has ever received and it is city region that this money is going to come as west midlands, south yorkshire, the tees valley is. and the sort of project that was spent on things like new tram carriages for a greater manchester�*s metrolink and extended a super highway from west bradford. the chancellor says this is about improving connections and there is no reason why people living in the north and midlands should have to wait longer for the train or bus ban commuters in london. but labour have said this is an isolated announcement. there is no coherent plan here and while it has been welcomed by some groups like the northern powerhouse partnership, which is a group of business and civic leaders who championed the north of england, they welcome this money but say the government needs to go further and it needs to commit to some of the other big rail plans it has. things like a leads to sheffield as a first part of the eastern lake of hst. there does seem to be a good welcome to this. but a suggestion from some still more needs to be done. police believe a four—year—old girl who disappeared a week ago in the australian outback was abducted from her tent. they have now broadened the search for her to the whole of the continent. a reward of a million australian dollars — more than half a million pounds — has been offered for information on her disappearance. authorities say they�*re gravely concerned for her safety. more than 200 incidents of drink and injection spiking have been reported to police forces across the uk since september. the national police chiefs�* council say there have been 198 confirmed reports of people having their drinks spiked, while there were 24 reports of someone being injected. two men have been arrested as part of an ongoing investigation into spiking incidents in nottingham. a species of giant owl that had become something of a holy grail for birdwatchers, has been spotted in the wild for the first time in 150 years. there hadn�*t been any sightings of the "shelley�*s eagle 0wl" since the 18705 — that was until this week, when scientists from imperial college london interrupted one during its daytime nap in a forest in ghana. the pair only saw the bird for about 10 seconds — just enough time to get this photograph. and lucky that it was a scientist from the imperial college knew exactly what it was. i would not have a clue. he didn�*t look to impressed to be woken up from his nap. cycling has become hugely popular during the pandemic and many people are willing to spend thousands of pounds on their bikes. that though has increasingly made them a target for criminals — and police are expecting an increase in �*bike—jackings�* in the run up to christmas. zoe conway reports. this is a picture of bike—jackers making off with a £7,000 bike. their attack on cyclist mark redfield took seconds and it was terrifying. ijust suddenly noticed that i was being followed by a motorbike, and it wasn�*t overtaking me, which was strange. i looked back and i could just see them eyeballing my bike, and then next thing i know they pull up alongside me, pull out a machete and were like, give me your bike. my reaction was just to flee as quickly as possible, and then they hit me with the motorbike at, like, 36 kilometres per hour, and then i went flying, hit the floor. by the time i had got up, the guys were holding their machete out, because it was outside of school, so no—one would approach. and then they picked the bike up and then got on the back of the bike, and that was the end of that. it was over in about — under 40 seconds, so it was really, really quick. there have now been four similar attacks in richmond park, in london, in the last fortnight. alex richardson was one of the victims. he is a professional cyclist. they dragged me along the floor with the bike, and at that point they slowed it down again and took out this machete, at which point i thought, right, they are going to take this so i had better leave it at that. the attacks have left cyclists in london fearful. these are members of the islington cycling club, which is the biggest in the capital. what was your reaction when you heard about what had happened to alex richardson? it was absolutely horrendous. it got sort of shared between all of us, and as soon as the news came out, everyone was sharing the story. we have had instances of things like this happening to some of our club members previously, but it never sort of was this bad. people would be shoved off a bike but they were never weapons involved, or things like that. it is really terrible, horrendous. really quite scary, and i would certainly think twice about riding on my own now. really? yes, absolutely. i probably wouldn't ride on my own in the evenings now. the use of mopeds to carry out street robberies is hardly new, but normally involves things like mobile phones and handbags being stolen. it is quite a cowardly act, but what they do is go two up on a moped, which is often stolen, and they will patrol known footfall areas and snatch that phone or anything of high value, a watch, jewellery, these are all items that can be quickly removed from an individual. these are officers from operation venice in action. it says the unit has dramatically cut the number of thefts. however, they are expecting the number of robberies to go up again as people are out on the streets in the lead up to christmas. it is not hard to understand why bikes are being stolen. they can be worth a fortune. how much, on average, do you think people in your club spend on a bike? i would say maybe about £1500 to £2000, and that ranges from intro bikes, beginner bikes, which are just shy of the £1000 mark, up to ten grand. these cyclists say demand for bikes has been going up during the pandemic as more people take up the sport. while the supply has struggled to keep up. nazarin made a four hour round trip to hampshire to buy hers. it was the only bike i could find in the country. went all the way down to the new forest to collect it. really? yes. were you being fussy? no, i wasn�*t being fussy. it was literally the only bike i could get that was my size. these attacks leave many cyclists rattled, but the ones i have spoken to say they are determined to keep going to ensure the robbers don�*t win. we�*rejoined by chris boardman, who�*s a former 0lympic cycling champion — and now greater manchester�*s transport commissioner... your reaction when you see those pictures because this is so much worse than just having your bike nicked from outside the house. the nicked from outside the house. tue interconnectivity of all of this is incredible and the bike itself is almost irrelevant. it is the fact people are not safe to move around on the streets, at a time when we need people to get out of cars. we have seen a 15 year hike in car use. this is all interconnected. there should be a basic right to move around in the safety. the should be a basic right to

here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. it is kind of cycling weather. a little bit on the pc side. the weather is going to be mild, notjust today side. the weather is going to be mild, not just today and tomorrow but much for the week ahead. this is what the satellite picture looks like in the atlantic. it takes of cloud. that is low pressure that is pushing the weather from this direction. quite a bit of rain here, but as the weather front slides across the uk over the next 24—hour race, that rain is going to fizzle out. the weather front is bringing this mild airfrom the out. the weather front is bringing this mild air from the south—west and this will be over us for the next few days. here is the picture for this morning and into this afternoon. a lot of cloud across the uk, this is not going to be one solid layer of cloud. there will be glimmers of sunshine here and there, especially at towards the east and the south of the country. but in the north—west it is going to be wet at times. strong winds. but for the rest of us, it should be a generally dry day and quite mild. for tonight, we are expecting the weather to go downhill across western areas of the country. there will be rain seating and an increasing breeze. the temperatures are going to stay pretty high, around 10 to 13 degrees. a mild morning tomorrow and wet in places, but i don't think the rain is going to last for very long. you can see that rain breaks up as it moves towards the east. for tomorrow afternoon, we are left with sunny spells across the uk and showers dotted around so the main will be hit and mist tomorrow afternoon. temperatures will be between 1a and 16 degrees. these atlantic westerlies, there is a lot of relatively mild air in the atlantic at this time of year so thatis atlantic at this time of year so that is going to be moving across the uk. they often bring showers as well, so monday is a day of sunny spells and showers. most frequent showers in western scotland. i think the further east you are, the drier and sunnier the weather will be. not and sunnier the weather will be. not a bad day on monday. the week ahead. here is the summary. the temperatures are climbing through the middle part of the week. 17, may be 18 degrees. but the second half of the week is going to turn more unsettled with a bit more rain on the way. on the whole, it is overall not a bad picture for most of us. not bad at all. thank you. gracie spinks should have celebrated her 24th birthday this week — instead her family gathered at a candlit vigil to remember her. gracie was found fatally stabbed injune — and a man she'd reported to police was also found dead nearby. her family are now calling for specialist stalking �*advocates' in every police force. emma glasbey reports. go on! she was a typical 23—year—old young women. she had got her life ahead of her, her horse was her passion and her life. # when you feel like you are ready to

spinks and the man she accused of stalking her — but the case remains with the police watchdog, the iopc, so they can't comment further. the iopc confirmed that they're investigating and their thoughts remain with gracie s family and friends. let's return to one of our top stories — fresh calls from the government for eligible people to go out and get a boosterjab. the chancellor rishi sunak said vaccines were the 'first line of defence' against covid and the country could not return to 'significant economic restrictions'. we are now joined by professor peter openshaw, who is a member of nervtag — the government's advisory group on emerging viruses — but is speaking to us today in a personal capacity. thank you for your time. what do you make of the numbers at the moment and is the chancellor right to say the economy must be prioritised? i think we are desperate to get back to normal life and i can understand why the government is listening to pressure from industry and its own inclinations to really open up, but the figures at the moment we need to show we have got too many cases out there. it is unacceptable to be letting this run at the moment. the transmission rate is almost one, slightly above one. that means that the case numbers are growing very slowly. we can either have these measures in place with a high level of transmission, which is what we have got at the moment, or get the transmission level down and have the same quite mild measures in place and keep the level of transmission stable again. the and keep the level of transmission stable

unlikely, instead we expect a series of broader, flatter peaks as the virus continues to spread. with that in mind, the implication is as things stand, hospitals will be able to cope? i think the hospitals in many parts of the country are barely coping, actually. talking to people on the front line, i think it's just not sustainable to keep going at this rate. i think it is unacceptable to see the number of deaths we have got at the moment. one stage last week, there were 180 deaths in a single day. that is just too many. there were 180 deaths in a single day. that isjust too many. we there

important to do relatively simple things like working from home when you can, wearing masks in any crowded public space and public transport. and just really trying to get these numbers down at the moment because it is unacceptable, the amount of transmission.— unacceptable, the amount of transmission. , . . . transmission. is there a danger that be reintroducing _ transmission. is there a

a lot of peoples lives have been touched by - lives have been touched by coronavirus. increasingly we hear stories to read every bear of society who know people who have had a very bad episode and that will help reinforce the message, but it is absolutely incumbent on our leaders to give a very clear message about the importance of wearing masks and the importance of where possible maintaining social distance. it is the inconsistency of messaging which is so harmful at this stage and i think actually a lot of misunderstanding about what masks can and can't achieve based for example on the size of the virus and the size of the poor in the mask is not the right comparison. it is particles of spittle which you need to prevent getting through, not through the size of the virus. taste through the size of the virus. we are looking ahead to christmas. it was such a difficult time for so many families last year at the time immediately after that was for the nhs. what should we be expecting from this christmas if government policy doesn't change? i am from this christmas if government policy doesn't change?— policy doesn't change? i am very fearful we _ policy doesn't change? i

have i policy doesn't change? i am very i fearful we are going to have another look down christmas if we don't act soon. we know with public health measures the time to act is immediately. there is no point in delaying, if you do delay then you need to take even more stringent action later. the immediacy of response is absolutely vital if you're going to get things under control. we all really want a wonderful family christmas where we can all get back together and if thatis can all get back together and if that is what we want we need to get these measures in place now in order to get transition rates right down so that we can actually get together and see one another over christmas. if that doesn't come from the top or become government policy to reintroduce measures what would you say to people watching who have their own personal concerns and want to do what they can to stop the spread? i to do what they can to stop the s - read? ~ to do what they can to stop the sread? ~

know that roughly one in 60 people in a crowded space are going to have the virus. if you can, cycled to work, don't go on public transport. i think do everything possible in your control to try to reduce transmission, don't wait for the government to change policy. the sooner we all act the sooner we can get this transmission right down and the greater the prospect of having christmas with our families. let’s christmas with our families. let's ho -e we christmas with our families. let's hope we can _ christmas with our families. let's hope we can do — christmas with our families. let's hope

welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and ben thompson. we've been following the story of andy, mike and tim on breakfast. they're the three dads doing an epic charity walk in memory of their daughters, who all took their own lives. in the last two weeks, they've covered 300 miles and raised more than £160,000. they're set to complete theirjourney in about an hour. let's cross now to our reporter alison freeman, who's waiting at the finish line. the crowds are gathering now, it was a bit quiet earlier, they are footing the bunting app, but you're all ready and they all have their flags ready to wave showing the sign of the charity that the three dads are working for, a suicide prevention charity. in an hour they will be working here. this is the last ten or 20 yards. the

be the up—and—coming talent but then you have to perform and he did. he has come through the academy. he has been on a lot of arsenal fans radars for a while and has energy and focus this season. he has curbed his lifestyle a little bit. a little bit more attention in training and getting his focus, doing ever so well at the moment, the 21—year—old. 21—year—old emile smith rowe was described as "superb" by manager mikel arteta, after arsenal beat aston villa 3—1. smith rowe came through the arsenal academy and he's impressed arteta by changing his lifestyle in order to improve his game. he set up thomas partey for the opener — that's his first goalfor the gunners. and early in the second half smith rowe rounded off the scoring. that moved arsenal into the top half of the table. captain rachel corsie came to scotland's rescue, in their women's world cup qualifier against hungary. they were heading for a costly draw at hampden park, when corsie scored a last—minute winner. that gave them three victories from three games, leaving them top of their group — but they've played a game more than in—form spain, and only the group winners automatically qualify for the finals in 2023. wales are bidding to make their first major tournament but they could only draw 1—1 with slovenia — kayleigh green scored the equaliser, but she was later sent off. wales are second in their group, behind favourites france. it's going to be an historic day at wembley, with england's women playing a competitive match there for the first time. northern ireland are the visitors — and both sides have yet to drop a point in qualifying so far. it's obviously maybe something we thought would happen a bit more frequently following on from the germany game, so for it to finally come around and for it to be the first competitive fixture i think is a milestone for us. so hopefully the performance will match the occasion. although it is massive, it is wembley, it is england, we have a job in hand and we want to get the three points and make this campaign bigger than the last. i think that is what it has come to now. we want to have that feeling again of winning and being in the campaign right to the very end. england's cricketers get their t20 world cup campaign underway this afternoon. they're up against the defending champions, west indies, who narrowly beat them in the final of the last competition — and that was way back in 2016. but england are now the one—day world champions, and they're hoping to make history by holding both titles at the same time. patrick geary reports. these are some of the most destructive batsman in the world, and they are english. england have their pick of batters who are prized by t20 franchises across the globe, so earning your spot depends on runs, not rank. even the captain isn't sure of his place in the team. i'm not going to stand on the way of a team winning the world cup. i have obviously been short on runs. my captaincy has been pretty good as it goes. it has been a batting lineup that people have struggled to get into for a very long time. part of that is the whole of the batting, and playing into the way the team want to play. t20 is cricket at its most ruthless. heartbreakfor england, and for ben stokes. four successive sixes. which crushed england in the final| over of the world t20 cricket final. england must confront the ghosts of kolkata immediately. the team that snatched the t20 world cup from them then will now face them again in the west indies. no stokes now, but are england stronger? they have come through the last couple of years and built momentum as a team. i think they are experiencing tournaments, the 2019 50 over world cup, i think the bulk of the players that played in those tournaments are still around for this tournament now. knowing how to deal with pressure plus the exciting young players that they are bringing through. the tournament will in one sense take place outside england's comfort zone. the united arab emirates and oman have never hosted a major tournament before. it will, many think, be a competition dominated by spin. but in t20, what is less clear is which way things will turn. 50 both england and scotland are in the super 12 stage of the t20 world cup — but they won't be joined by ireland, who suffered a shock defeat to namibia — the lowest—ranked side in the competition. they lost by eight wickets. katie archibald has won britain's first gold medal at this year's world track cycling championships in france. it's been a great year for archibald — she took olympic gold in the madison with laura kenny, three titles at the european championships earlier this month and she's now world champion in the omnium, where riders compete in four different events. courtnall skosan really enjoyed his debut for northampton saints last night, in rugby union's premiership. the south africa wing scored a hat trick on his debut, as they beat worcester by a massive 66 points to 10 — that took northampton up to second in the table. now finally — to two men, who in their prime struck fear into the heart of their opponents. so there were puns a plenty when alan

looking too bad for most of us. it will be quite a mild day with some glimmers of sunshine here and there. not clear blue skies but decent enough. there is this angry weather system in the north atlantic approaching to the west. this rain which is quite substantial here will be breaking up orfizzling which is quite substantial here will be breaking up or fizzling away as it moves across the country over the course of the weekend. there is some rain in the forecast but not enough of it. this is also bringing some mild airfrom the of it. this is also bringing some mild air from the southern climes and that is here to stay with the next few days. here is a forecast through the morning into the afternoon. it is quite blustery in the western isles of scotland, gale force, the time of the year, we can see some rain getting in to northern ireland but i think generally speaking the bulk of the country, should have a dry day with occasional glimmers of brightness but often cloudy. the temperatures will be around 1a or 15. it will be quite breezy so maybe it won't feel quite breezy so maybe it won't feel quite as mild as it would if the sun came out. this is the forecast for tonight. some rain around across western areas. in some parts of the country temperatures would drop an awful lot during the night. 13 in belfast, most of us around 11 or 12. you can see some rain in cornwall and devon may be moving through wales, across the irish sea, into west of scotland, but then hit and miss ours. not completely dry tomorrow but it will be dry most of the time. tomorrow we'll have more sunny spells compared to what we will have today. that is sunday. sunday night into monday we will see further showers and a breeze in scotland but this atlantic westerly breeze is carrying a lot of mild air over us and this will be in place for much of the week ahead. let's have a look at monday forecast. quite breezy weather out towards the west bringing showers to western scotland, around the irish sea, wales, the southwest. temperatures around about 1a or 15 a england and wales. a little brute pressure in scotland. the temperatures might crime a little further. even in belfast 17, cardiff 17, london 18 but the temperatures will ease again and it will turn a bit more unsettled and more rain on the way but only for the saviour we will take it. this week on breakfast we've been closely following a series of 'spiking' incidents, where women have reported being injected with drugs on nights out. it happened to student zara owen on a night out in nottingham a couple of

september and october of drink spiking, and 2a reports of injections across the uk. let's talk more about this with deputy chief constable jason harwin, who is the national police chiefs council lead for drugs. very good morning to you. we will run through some of those case numbers there, give me first of all yoursense numbers there, give me first of all your sense of how significant this is and

with partners to prevent individuals being victims in the first place. 1th being victims in the first place. as we were hearing in that clip from one victim you don't necessarily know you have been a

we have made some arrest already but it is about our response and individual choice, we want people to go about their normal business to enjoy the night time economy and clearly businesses need people to go out enjoying the night economy and therefore it is in everybody�*s interest to make it as safe as we possibly can. we have been working really hard notjust those three weeks but recognising the

heart failure, following two u nsuccessful tra nspla nts. four years on from her death, maddy�*s mum barbara is encouraging more people to donate organs and 'give the gift of life' to others, should the worst happen. you don't expect a healthy 17—year—old to suddenly be referred to a transplant unit. i remember thinking it can't be that bad, it can't be that bad. maddy went in for herfirst can't be that bad. maddy went in for her first transplant. they came out and said that things were not going quite as well as they were hoping, the pacing of the heart was slowing down. unfortunately within a few days she suffered a heart attack. they decided that they would put her back on the transplant list. we were so grateful that someone had decided that if their life was to end they would donate their organs to give someone else a chance to live. so of the morning of the second transplant she was wheeled into the operating theatre and the last thing she said there was as she went through was don't worry, i will be fine. she came out of the operation on a full life support again, there was quite a lot of support for the new heart. it became clear she wasn't going to recover, so two weeks after the second transplant unfortunately, she passed away. we were with her in the hospital able to say our goodbyes. i decided that i would use maddie as an inspiration to create what i called the wall of hope. which was to invite people from the local community to knit hearts and flowers. one person if they are an organ donor nature can save up to nine lives. it is such an amazing legacy. i wouldn't wish it on anyone to have to see their daughter or sister go through something like that and the fact that she had been so brave that we are so grateful still that she was given the chance twice. to have that opportunity to live. that is maddy�*s mum barbara there, encouraging other people to use the legacy of maddy�*s story to donate organs. an incredible tale. and really good of her to sit and share her experience. you cannot imagine that moment of your daughter saying i will be fine. and then coming out on life support. it is nine o'clock. stay with us, the headlines are coming up. good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and ben thompson. our headlines today... a fresh push for eligibile people to get their boosterjabs, as a scientific advisor says a christmas lockdown isn't out of the question. court documents show that alec baldwin was told that a prop gun was safe, in the moments before he accidentally killed a crew member on set. the chancellor promises to spend billions on train, tram, bus and cycle projects outside of london. lam here i am here in norfolk where in about half and our�*s time three dads are going to cross the finish line at the end of their epic 200 mile charity walk in memory of their daughters. t20 world cup begins in earnest today. england are in action, against the defending champions west indies, who beat them to the title last time out, way back in 2016. and the day ahead on the weather front is not looking too bad for most of us. a little bit of rain around here and there, but on the whole a fine day. it's saturday the 23rd of october. our top story. there are fresh calls from the government today for eligible people to go out and get a boosterjab — the chancellor rishi sunak said vaccines were the 'first line of defence' against covid and the country could not return to 'significant economic restrictions'. but one of the government's scientific advisors, sir peter openshaw, speaking to bbc breakfast today in a personal capacity, said it's important to work from home and get covid infections down because the level of transmission is 'unacceptable'. megan paterson reports. the prime minister shared this video on social media last night, reinforcing the message that the next stage of the vaccination rollout is central to the government's covid plans this winter. but as colder weather approaches, bringing expected winter pressures to the nhs, and covid hospital admissions go up week on week, calls for the return of some restrictions grow louder. lam very i am very fearful we are going to have another lockdown christmas if we do not act soon. we know with public health measures the time to act is immediately. there is no point in delaying. if you do delay, you need to take even more stringent action later. the immediacy of response is absolutely vital if you are going to get things under control. in the times newspaper this morning the chancellor, rishi sunak, has reiterated that case numbers are in line with what was expected and restrictions will be reviewed if necessary, saying that a range of options are available, and those are not options that involve lockdowns or very significant economic restrictions. covid boosterjabs and flu vaccinations are the key to protection. the former head of covid vaccine delivery in england, dr emily lawson, has now returned to the post. credited with the early success of the vaccine rollout, her return indicating ministers anticipate significant strain on the nhs in the coming months. data for england from the ons last week shows the sharpest rises in covid case rates were among children, but there were some increases among older age groups as well. the uk has recorded over a0,000 new daily covid cases for the past ten days. experts on sage, who advise the government, say modelling suggests that winter covid admissions are increasingly unlikely to rise above the levels of the peak in january this year, but planning for possible new measures should begin now. the actor alec baldwin was told a gun was safe moments before he fatally shot a crew member on the set of his new film. that's according to new documents filed as part of the police investigation into the death. the hollywood star said in a statement there were "no words" to convey his "shock and sadness". our north america correspondent david willis reports. two people accidentally shot on a movie set by a prop gun. we need help immediately. that call to the emergency services, the first public indication of the tragic events that had unfolded in the foothills of northern new mexico. police arrived to find halyna hutchins, an up—and—coming cinematographer, dead and the film's directorjoel souza badly hurt. their injuries inflicted by the film's star alec baldwin, who according to court documents, was handed a gun he was told was safe to use but which was in fact loaded with a live round. in a statement alec baldwin said he was cooperating with the police investigation. this is not the first tragedy of its kind. nearly 30 years ago on the set of the film the crow, brandon lee, the son of martial arts expert bruce lee, died after being shot by a gun firing blanks. safety standards have been tightened on film sets since then, but on the family twitter account brandon's sister posted the message, no one should ever be killed by a gun on a film set. period. unconfirmed reports suggest that several crew members walked off the set in new mexico only hours before halyna hutchins died in protest at working conditions and concerns about safety. as detectives comb the set for clues, the key question facing them is how did a live round end up in a gun fired by alec baldwin? david willis, bbc news, los angeles. new tram carriages, battery packs for trains and extended cycle highways are just some of the transport projects set to receive a funding boost in next week's budget. it's part of efforts to redress an imbalance between london and other parts of england. our business correspondent katy austin has more details. whether you travel for work or leisure, by bus, train or something else, how easy is it to get about where you live? next week the chancellor will confirm £5.7 billion of funding, more than expected, for projects aimed at improving transport connections in the city regions, including the west midlands, south yorkshire and the tees valley. a few examples are new charm carriages for a greater manchester's metro link, battery packs for merseyrail trains and an extended cycle highway for west bradford. a group which champions northern england said investment was welcome but there was more to do. what we need to see is that he is a city regions like greater manchester, for the towns that are there, is that commitment to a london style transport system with better affairs and the types of integrated services that people in london already benefit from. the prime minister previously promised £3 billion to as better bus services. just over a billion of that will build london style improvements to fares and services and other places.— and other places. there are many areas across _

labour said the government lacked a coherent plan. as well as a boost for transport, there will also be hundreds of millions of pounds in new spending for projects to support children and families across england. our political correspondent helen catt is in our london newsroom this morning. helen, where will this extra funding be spent? the chancellor is talking about a £500 million package and it is going to a few different areas, £200 million of it will go into the government's supporting family programme which is targeted at the most vulnerable households. hundred million will be going to as mental health support for new parents and expectant parents. there will be 50 million going into support for breast—feeding, 50 million into other parenting programmes and then an 82 million pan— pot set aside for setting up what the government is calling family helps. they described these as one—stop shops where parents will be able to access all the services they need. you may be thinking they sound similar to the sure start centres set up under tony blair. lots of those have closed while the conservatives have been in government and that is something labour is picking up on. saying replacing them with these is just a sticking plaster. the money will be going to 75 authorities in the country for this. labour are saying it is just a bit of a sticking plaster. the government suggest these new hubs will be an upgrade on these new hubs will be an upgrade on the sure start centres and focus as much on the parent as they do on the child and will caterfor much on the parent as they do on the child and will cater for them from zero to 19, rather than just the early years 025. a coastal town has received a a1 million pound donation from the woman behind fisherman's friend

by the generosity". i love a day out at treatment. the document is a £a1 million. —— i thought you were going to say. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. you are saying it is kind of nice out there and temperatures are ok but there is a little bit of rain around. that is absolutely right. not a bad weekend overall. we are coming towards the end of october. there could be storms out there and all sorts of things and lashings of rain. it is out in the mid—atlantic, a nasty storm and low pressure, but the weather front is approaching right now and will bring wind and rain to north—western areas of the uk but as it moves across the country over the next 2a—hour us, it is going to fizzle away to a scattering of showers. what this weather front is bringing scattering of showers. what this weatherfront is bringing is scattering of showers. what this weather front is bringing is a scattering of showers. what this weatherfront is bringing is a plume of mild airfrom the weatherfront is bringing is a plume of mild air from the south and this is not over us this weekend, but for most of the week ahead as well. here is the forecast for the morning. wet and windy in the north—west of the uk. the rest of the country is relatively cloudy, the cloud will break up from time to time to allow sunshine to come through, but where the clouds are thicker, there might be some rain fleeting in the winter. the temperatures will be miles, around about 1a or 15. through tonight, we will see that weather front approach western parts of the uk, so windy and wet for a time, so the early morning could be wet in liverpool. in carlisle. that out towards the east and the south, it should be dry. as the other front moves towards the east, it fizzles away to a scattering of showers so tomorrow is a day of sunny spells, scattered showers and temperatures getting up to around about 16 celsius. it is not going to feel like it because there will be a breeze blowing off the atlantic but on the whole not a bad day. sunday night into monday, the bigger low pressure in the atlantic will continue to bring showers to western parts of scotland. but some other western areas as well. let's have a look at the forecast into monday. showers in scotland, maybe around the irish sea, some flitting across the irish sea, some flitting across the west country and english channel, but the eastern areas get the best of the sunshine. mostly day for places like hull, newcastle, edinburgh and aberdeen. at towards the west, we might need our brollies. through the weekend, temperatures could nudge up to 17 degrees in belfast and cardiff, could be a degree or so higher in london. the first—half of the week is ok, mild and breezy. towards the end of the week it will turn wetter and temperatures will ease. but on the whole, it is a changeable week. that is what october is all about. thank you. we have got our saturday panel with linda and chris. we have had lots of messages from viewers this morning who are confused about where they are up to with the virus. one in 55, the week ending october the 16th. we had a professor in saying we should have restrictions to reduce numbers and yet xh is seeing a surge injanuary is increasingly unlikely. people are understandably confused about what measures they should be taking on whether they should be planning for a different christmas. where do you think we are up to?— think we are up to? good morning, ureat think we are up to? good morning, treat to think we are up to? good morning, great to hear— think we are up to?

to hear you are chatting to i great to hear you are chatting to peter who is very knowledgeable. it is difficult to predict, the modelling is uncertain but i am concerned. just in terms of the trajectory. to start with a positive note, the levels of deaths, if you look back to when we were reporting almost 50,000 cases a day pre—vaccines, we are having over 1000 deaths a day in that period. now we are at their unfortunate level of cases but fewer than 200 deaths. we don't want anybody dying from this disease if we can prevent it, but that is a huge success of the vaccine. that is the positive message. the negative message is if we have so many cases of a 50,000 a day, and we have got almost 900 people now needing ventilation in the uk and those numbers are going up, that puts big strain on the health service. that is why sage yesterday when their minutes were released, was calling on the government, especially at the england level, to take more preventative action now so we don't have even more people in hospital. that is what we need to do when rolling out our boosters and getting on the best of the vaccine programme. the scientists are worried, the public health community are worried and they are calling for more action from the uk government at the scientists s are worried, the public health community are worried and they are calling for more action from the uk government at the plan beat which would see the reintroduction of things like masks and maybe vaccine passports what we have heard from the chancellor is a reluctance to reimpose restrictions, any sort of lockdown and holding off on that so—called plan beat which would see the reintroduction of things like masks and maybe vaccine the criticism as it might be worth some restrictions now to make

something specific about scotland. there are a couple of important things to point out. there has been a delay in providing all the data on the boosters, but i am pleased to say make fantastic colleagues a public health scotland have got that dashboard reporting the boosters up and running, and you can see it if you search for a public health scotland dashboard. i was looking for that yesterday. there is over a00,000 people who have had their booster dose. the groups that are eligible at the top jcb | groups that are eligible at the top jcb i priority groups. i don't know whether linda 's son is in that category, but more and more are being rolled out every day. the top for our care home residents, front line staff, people over the age of 70 and those who are extremely clinically vulnerable. they are expected to have their booster by the time we get into mid december. the other groups below that, people in their 50s and 60s and underlying health conditions, might be a little bit later. the important thing to emphasise for scotland is that data is now available and linda can go and have a look at it. if she is worried about when the invitation will come for her son, she will be invited. the programme is trying, along with the other vaccines they are delivering, to work as hard as it can. . ~' ,, the answer is that all of the vaccines— the answer is that all

which is arguably the most important goal. thank— is arguably the most important goal. thank you _ is arguably the most important goal. thank you for that question. let's talk about cases and the numbers and reporting around it. that is what we are keeping such a close eye on. we can... eric is right that people who unfortunately develop covid, the vast majority will recover well, won't need hospital treatment and there were not be any more fatalities. but you can find out in terms of the outcomes between people. we can look at the relationship between cases, people in hospital needing ventilation and mortalities. all that is publicly available. the tricky thing is there is more infection in the community ban is reported in the cases. those numbers you see, the a0 to 50,000, they are people who have had a positive pcr test. in reality there are many more of them. one in 55. that is from the ons infection survey and that is a random sample of people. we have more infection than the daily figures are showing, but the key thing for the public is to keep coming forward for a test if you have symptoms and keep your eye on the relationship between those different bits of data that the us. they show both the effectiveness of vaccines and where we are in the pandemic. that is valuable. i think most people would prefer to know what is happening at the moment. i think some of the things we have been discussing in relation to protective behaviours like face masks, if people can see those numbers are rising, they know they will need to do that to protect themselves and that is something we can all do. this themselves and that is something we can all do. . . . themselves and that is something we can all do. , , . , ., ., can all do. this is a question from tom, can all

do? pa rt part of the government's messaging is get a boosterjab. that is the best way to avoid a lockdown. but if you have not been invited and you have gone beyond your six months, you have gone

reassuring bit of— vulnerable. that is true. a reassuring bit of evidence | vulnerable. that is true. a - reassuring bit of evidence came out this week. pfizer did a large trial, over 10,000 people, the only randomised controlled trial of booster vaccines and they found the was just a 95% protective and people who had the real booster versus the possible after the second dose in protecting mortality which is great. and also the median time for the people who had the best was actually 11 months between the second dose and the booster, which is a long period. it shows the boosters can have an effect even after a longer period. but what we heard from sajid javid earlier this week is that if people are six months plus one week after the second dose and haven't had an invitation, they can go online and aim to put that, at least in england. i think most people will hearfrom the nhs and don't panic if you are a bit over six months. final point, thejcb i is considering this, and to give the system of flexibility, we may hear they come around to say anywhere from five months on the spine. we wait to hear from them on that. —— anything from five months is fine. it is from them on

with a story we have been talking about for a week or so. they've walked an incredible 300 miles, and raised more than £a50,000, but in just a few minutes' time the "three dads walking" will cross the finish line. for the last two weeks, breakfast�*s been following andy, mike and tim's epic walk in memory of their daughters, who all took their own lives. our reporter alison freeman is waiting at the finishing line and joins us now. they are due a cross that finish line any moment. i they are due a cross that finish line any moment.— line any moment. i am in this beautiful _ line any moment. i

norfolk which lots of his friends and family to welcome those three dads back across the finish line just over there and we can see the crowds waving and cheering in anticipation. there is a really serious side to all this as well. they are doing it in memory of three daughters who all took their own lives. it has gone beyond what they are very much on. yesterday we caught up with them and asked them how they felt about the journey and what they had achieved. five weeks ago it was just the three of us, but all of a sudden it has just been incredible, the support we have had from across the nation, from celebrities down to individual people offering us acts of kindness as we have gone down. we've got to be happy with what we have achieved. the fact we have seem to have struck a chord with so many people hasjust been stunning really. we hope to raise some money, we hope to raise awareness, i |you know, but it is tremendous, j it's overwhelming, and we really hope we have helped. they are the three dads walking, and they have captured the imagination of the nation. tim, andy and mike found each other after their daughters emily, sophie and beth took their own lives. so to try and raise awareness of the hope that is out there for anyone contemplating suicide, they took on an epic challenge. they have walked the 300 miles between their homes in cumbria, greater manchester and norfolk over the past 15 days. having set out to raise £3000 each for suicide prevention charity papyrus, their total has now exceeded £a50,000. donations have come in from celebrities like nicole kidman and daniel craig who have given £10,000 each, and prince william has even written a letter to the dads. along the way they have heard many other stories, like tracy's, her son charlie took his own life. because they know what we're going through but we are all in the same club, not one you want to be in at all. and to actually talk to other people who are going through the same has been just, it has just been amazing. and alfie, who is 23, a friend of tim's daughter — he has also experienced dark times. i was diagnosed with autism when i was nine—year—old. that led to quite a difficult time in mainstream school. i was very isolated, bullied for ten years, had food thrown at me, nobody even bother to say hello. that led to me being very depressed, i had time out of school and tried to commit suicide four times. my wildlife photography became an escape from the bullying and that saved my life really. meeting all those different people has been fantastic, humbling, expiring, just so many words to describe it, but it has been a great 15 days, and these two guys have really made it for me. talking about our girls all day, every day, so it is like they are travelling with us all the time. we have come from a terribly bad place after losing, you know, i emily, sophie and beth. it has given us direction. and i hope other parents, other people see this and see there is hope, there - is hope, you can go on, i you can make a difference. this morning they will cross the finish line outside tim's local pub. and while they have raised a vast sum of money, they have also got people talking about suicide in the hope they can prevent more young lives being lost. anticipation is mounting, they are waving their flags. we think any minute now, if we look around the corner, here they come. what do you make of what these guys have done? end of an incrediblejourney make of what these guys have done? end of an incredible journey from three ordinary dads from ordinary communities like the people watching this. i am communities like the people watching this. lam in communities like the people watching this. i am in all of these three wonderful human

they have come through the last couple of years and built momentum as a team. i think they are experienced in tournaments, the 2019 50 over world cup, i think the bulk of the players that played in those tournaments are still around for this tournament now. knowing how to deal with pressure plus the exciting young players that they are bringing through. the tournament will in one sense take place outside england's comfort zone. the united arab emirates and oman have never hosted a major tournament before. it will, many think, he a competition dominated by spin. but in t20, what is less clear is which way things will turn. so both england and scotland are in the super 12 stage of the t20 world cup — but they won't be joined by ireland, who suffered a shock defeat to namibia — the lowest—ranked side in the competition. they lost by eight wickets. mikel arteta described young midfielder emile smith rowe as "superb", after he played a starring role in their 3—1 win over aston villa. after coming through the club's academy he's knuckled down and changed his lifestyle, in order to improve his game — and that's showing on the pitch — last night he set up thomas partey for arsenal's opener, and then rounded off the scoring, with a little help from a deflection and the post. katie archibald's fantastic year continues — she's won britain's first gold medal at the world track cycling championships in france. archibald already had an olympic gold medal and three european titles — and she's now world champion in the omnium, where riders compete in four different events. nothing she can't do. it's saturday morning — and you all know what that means — it's only a few hours until strictly. things are hotting up as the pairs head into week five, so let's just remind ourselves what happened last week. we arejoined now we are joined now by professional dancers and brothers ajay and curtis pritchard. you are very proud of it are due to sweat over, dan. i feel like he just _ are due to sweat over, dan. i feel like he just needs _ are due to sweat over, dan. i feel like he just needs to _ are due to sweat over, dan. i feel like he just needs to go _ are due to sweat over, dan. i feel like he just needs to go head i like he just needs to go head over heels _ like he just needs to go head over heels. throw caution and go for it. he is— heels. throw caution and go for it. he is flying — heels. throw caution and go for it. he is flying the flag for tall people everywhere. we will never be the most coordinated, he is doing really well. he the most coordinated, he is doing really well-— the most coordinated, he is doing really well. he has taken on board the information _ really well. he has taken on board the information each _ really well. he has taken on board the information each week - really well. he has taken on board the information each week and i really well. he has taken on board the information each week and he | really well. he has taken on board l the information each week and he is putting _ the information each week and he is putting it _ the information each week and he is putting it into action. he does, so people _ putting it into action. he does, so people sometimes look a bit like bambi _ people sometimes look a bit like bambi on— people sometimes look a bit like bambi on ice, but i think he doesn't. _ bambi on ice, but i think he doesn't, he is doing really well and that was— doesn't, he is doing really well and that was a — doesn't, he is doing really well and that was a hard dance. i think you nailed _ that was a hard dance. i think you nailed it — that was a hard dance. i think you nailed it. , ~ that was a hard dance. i think you nailed it. , ,, ., , ., nailed it. every week he has got so much better _ nailed it. every week he has got so much better and _ nailed it. every week he has got so much better and don _ nailed it. every week he has got so much better and don work - nailed it. every week he has got so much better and don work so i nailed it. every week he has got so | much better and don work so hard, nailed it. every week he has got so i much better and don work so hard, he will be throwing in everything into it. it is foxtrot week for him this week. 50 it. it is foxtrot week for him this week, , .,, it. it is foxtrot week for him this week. , .,, ., it. it is foxtrot week for him this week. , ., , ., ., week. so people can guide and flow across the floor _ week. so people can guide and flow across the floor so _ week. so people can guide and flow across the floor so easily, _ week. so people can guide and flow across the floor so easily, i - week. so people can guide and flow across the floor so easily, i say i across the floor so easily, i say easily. — across the floor so easily, i say easily, fingers _ across the floor so easily, i say easily, fingers crossed. - across the floor so easily, i say easily, fingers crossed. it- across the floor so easily, i say easily, fingers crossed.
