in next summer's tournament. good morning. iam in norwich good morning. i am in norwich this morning with the awe—inspiring item installation. the weather has been very wet over recent days. we still have a flood warnings in force and some more rain around but it should dry up the most later on. i will have all the details coming up shortly. it's friday october the 29th. our main story. one of the rail lines between scotland and england remains closed this morning after two footbridges were washed away in flooding. it follows a day of torrential rain in parts of the border region and cumbria — with more downpours forecast today. the floods damaged property and closed several roads. aruna iyengar has this report. scotland was lashed with torrential rain, with multiple floods and danger—to—life warnings across the country. here in dumfries and galloway, the river annan burst its banks. two footbridges were swept away — including this, the cuthbertson memorial bridge. in the whitesands area of dumfries, police warned people to stay away from the area after the river nith burst its banks. emergency services worked together, rescuing four people from flooded homes. in hawick in the scottish borders, the river teviot reached a peak of 2.9 metres before water started to recede. residents had been evacuated from homes, but there's some relief — they've now been told it's safe to go home. schools in the peebles area were closed as the river tweed burst its banks. this, a riverbank view in cumbria — and month's worth of rain fell on wednesday and into thursday. here in cockermouth, flood defences have been a lifeline, but residents are weary and want longer—term solutions. i think the government need to look seriously at climate change and try and work out ways that we can help people, support people and stop this kind of damage from happening in the future. yellow weather warnings are in place for today across cumbria, the scottish borders, wales and devon and cornwall. it means more rain, which could lead to travel disruption and flooded roads. damage to homes and businesses is still possible. these anxious times for people living low—lying areas. aruna iyengar, bbc news. let's get more now on the situation in cumbria. our reporter megan paterson is in cockermouth this morning. good morning. iam good morning. i am looking at the river behind you and i can see the river behind you and i can see the river is flowing really fast. absolutely, this is the river derwent, flowing very fast, very full but thankfully we have had respite overnight from the ratios that plate southend cumbria yesterday and the day before. we still have nine flood warnings in the county but that has gone down from 13 yesterday. the rain is beginning to come again this morning. the environment agency say this is a slowly improving picture they are still urging people to be cautious. we know there is still disruption on the roads and rail networks, across the county, going on over to scotland. we know that yesterday around a0 properties were flooded. here in cockermouth and further west in egremont. people having to pump water out of their homes, today will be about drying out and cleaning up frustration for them, any of them who flooded once or twice before. today the environment agency is warning people to stay away from the floodwater, to be vigilant, and community responders have been out overnight in cockermouth, ready to help people if it was necessary for them to leave their homes. thankfully that has not been the case so far. the ambit weather warning was downgraded last night. there is still a wedding going on until the afternoon but for many people in cumbria they are getting up and cracking on with their day,. —— out there is still a warning into the afternoon. the french ambassador to the uk has been summoned to the foreign office today — as a dispute over post—brexit fishing rights appears to be deepening. a british trawler has been detained in normandy — and french ministers are threatening more action unless the uk issues more licences to fish in its waters. with more, here's our political correspondent damian grammaticas. in may, french fishing boats gathered offjersey. their anger is that, despite the uk and jersey agreeing after brexit that french boats could continue fishing in coastal waters, dozens have applied and not had permits approved. the issue for many french boats is proving they've habitually fished in uk and jersey waters. smaller boats may not have had monitoring systems to track their movements. their current access will expire this weekend. if more licences are not granted by next week, the french government has said it will impose measures that could limit uk trade. translation: as britain does not respect what was agreed, - regarding licences for our fishermen, we will strictly limit british boats landing their catches in french ports. we will begin systematic health and customs inspections, and we'll put in place checks on exports heading to the uk. yesterday this uk trawler was detained — it's now the point of le havre, accused of fishing without the port of le havre, accused of fishing without a permit in french waters. now uk seafood exporters are worried they may face disruption supplying their biggest market — the eu — in the key period before christmas, and don't want a dispute with french fishermen. we fish the same areas, we need joint management, and big politics is trying to get in the way of that and we're trying to maintain the bridges that we have with them. at the end of the day, they're our colleagues and we fish alongside them — we don't want to see their businesses fail. in london the government has called the proposed french actions unjustified. the government has said we are very happy to give licences to the very few remaining people who have not got their licences, but we need to have some evidence to show that you meet the criteria. but with the french ambassador summoned to the foreign office, and the uk government promising an appropriate response, the political dynamics could see this dispute escalate fast. damian grammaticas, bbc news. our political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. good morning. it all sounds very dramatic. the french ambassador has been summoned. ok, so then what? it is quite dramatic. the french ambassador being summoned to the foreign office is not something that happens very often. it is all to do with this escalating war of words over fishing with this escalating war of words overfishing rights, one of with this escalating war of words over fishing rights, one of those things that has always been quite a symbolic issue between the uk and france it is all about whether enough licences are being issued for french fishermen as part of that brexit deal. as you head in the peace there, the french are extremely unhappy that a number of licences have been rejected, and they are really upping the rhetoric over this. there has been talk of some ports blocking british boats, more checks on british boats going into other ports. that is absolutely infuriating the uk government who say they are working as hard as they can to process these licences but it does feel like this is getting worse before it gets better. so, yes, we will have the french ambassador summoned to it foreign office today but it is all about whether they can figure out some solution over the next few days and at the moment it doesn't look particularly good. one thing to look out for is that the prime minister borisjohnson and the french president emmanuel macron are both at the g20 in rome over the next few days and it will be interesting to see whether they get together to discuss some of this but at the moment a rout that has been bubbling underfor the at the moment a rout that has been bubbling under for the last few weeks has really exploded out into the open and looks like it is getting worse and better. thank you so much, getting worse and better. thank you so much. nick _ getting worse and better. thank you so much, nick eardley _ getting worse and better. thank you so much, nick eardley there - getting worse and better. thank you so much, nick eardley there for- getting worse and better. thank you so much, nick eardley there for us. | at 7:30 we'll be talking to the environment, food and rural affairs secretary george eustice. fishing rights comes within his area. labour's deputy leader angela rayner has apologised "unreservedly" for calling conservatives "scum" at her party's conference. she initially stood by the remarks, but said she had reflected since that there was too much abuse in political debate and vowed to be "more careful" about her language. e—cigarettes could soon be prescribed on the nhs in england to help people stop smoking. the medicines regulator is inviting manufacturers to submit products for approval. it could mean england becomes the first country in the world to prescribe e—cigarettes as a medical product. the social networking giant facebook has changed its corporate name to "meta" as part of a major rebrand. the change does not apply to its individual platforms — such as facebook, instagram and whatsapp — only the parent company that owns them. founder mark zuckerberg said the new name better reflects the firm's ambitions to move beyond social media into areas such as virtual reality. pope francis has urged global leaders to take radical decisions that offer hope to the world ahead of this weekend's climate change summit. he's called on those gathering to act now to tackle the looming environmental crisis. with just a8 hours to go, our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, has been taking a look at the final preparations. there's no confusion about where this huge conference is taking place, and an army of volunteers are welcoming cop26 visitors to the city. we're welcoming delegates with a warm glasgow smile. it is a bit gloomy and cloudy but all the volunteers have, like, a sunny 22 degrees inside of them. 25,000 delegates are expected. businesses in the area where the summit will take place are hoping for a bounce. we offer very nice little coffees and everything, so even if they wanted to come for a wee coffee or some pancakes or something, that would be amazing. but they're facing challenges, too. so far it's been a nightmare, just the start of it. like, trying to travel to work — it's absolutely horrendous. and there is already disruption with slip roads, pedestrian walkways and bridges closed around the site. this is one of the main arterial roads heading into the centre of glasgow, and it's been shut to the thousands of drivers who use it every day. accommodation is also proving a problem — the cost of renting flats or rooms has rocketed because of cop. welcome to glasgow! so around 1,000 people, including jack and kim, have opened their homes to delegates, and more are needed. i'd heard that poorer countries were getting placed out of coming — i was absolutely horrified that only the richer countries' voices would be heard in terms of politicians and lobby groups, so i felt it was really important that everybody was included. when glasgow people opened their door to us, we are very delighted to come also, voice our concern. some schools on the conference doorstep will have to close briefly. these pupils may never have expected world leaders to be driving past their classroom windows — and they've got a message they want to pass on. i kind of feel...like, kind of stressed and annoyed about it because it's just disrupting our lives. we'd just rather that so many people didn't come — only the world leaders. they're not going to get here, like, being eco—friendly. - and also i feel like they're just going to talk about things - but not actually do it. ..have an impact on your lives... hope from the children here for action — and notjust words — and that the disruption they could face over the next two weeks will be worth it. lorna gordon, bbc news, glasgow. it's friday morning, let's have a look at the weather with sarah. rather dramatically done up a dramatic location in norwich. iam here i am here at st peter mancroft in norwich this morning and i am with the awe—inspiring gaia light installation. with cop26 around the corner is has never been more relevant. this amazing spinning globe was created by uk based artist luke jerram globe was created by uk based artist lukejerram and he created it to give that sense of the overview effect, something that astronauts describe when they go into space and look back down on our fragile and precious planet. i will take a look at this more through the morning but for the weather forecast, it has been very wet over recent days. we have had all that flooding across parts of north—west england and southern scotland and there are still weather warnings and flood warnings in force this morning. through the course up to date we are looking at further rain around. things will also turn cool it through the course of the day. we start off with a lot of rain, a sucky start to the day for many areas, went from moving its way slowly eastwards. the rain is heaviest this morning across parts of wales, western england and scotland. drying up for most through the day, bits of sunshine around temperatures around 16 degrees is a reasonable amount but showers working in behind that way. more rain, we don't need it for some areas. it moves gradually eastwards, bit strive for a time overnight but then why showers rattling in from then why showers rattling in from the west at temperatures overnight down to around five to 10 degrees, so still frost—free at the moment. soggy start to saturday for many, and improving picture through the day. that area of rain moves its way eastwards so by the afternoon, more sunshine heading in for most. turnin eastwards so by the afternoon, more sunshine heading in for most. turnin- cooler, eastwards so by the afternoon, more sunshine heading in for most. turnin- cooler, as eastwards so by the afternoon, more sunshine heading in for most. turnin- cooler, as well, eastwards so by the afternoon, more sunshine heading in for most. turnin- cooler, as well, so eastwards so by the afternoon, more sunshine heading in for most. turnin- cooler, as well, so ten eastwards so by the afternoon, more sunshine heading in for most. turnin- cooler, as well, so ten to turning cooler, as well, so ten to 1a degrees through the course of saturday. also unsettled into sunday, so more wet weather on the cards, things looking pretty autumnal at moment. that's it for now. . ~' autumnal at moment. that's it for now. . ~ , ., y autumnal at moment. that's it for now. . ~ , . autumnal at moment. that's it for now. . y . now. thank you very much. i don't think we've _ now. thank you very much. i don't think we've had _ now. thank you very much. i don't think we've had a _ now. thank you very much. i don't think we've had a more _ now. thank you very much. i don't think we've had a more dramatic l think we've had a more dramatic location for quite some time right we will have another look later on. more than 160 globalfigures have called on richer nations to share their surplus covid vaccines with less—developed countries. they say that unless action is taken at the g20 summit this weekend, hundreds of thousands of lives could be lost. the warning comes in a letter organised by former prime minister gordon brown, whojoins us now. good morning. good morning. that morninu. good morning. good morning. that morning- i — good morning. good morning. that morning. ithink— good morning. good morning. that morning. i think many _ good morning. good morning. that morning. i think many people -

they not being given away? that is l the problem, countries have avoided and are overstocked and not getting the vaccines out quickly enough so a lot of vaccines could be wasted past their expiry date and we know that nobody is safe anywhere until everybody is vaccinated everywhere. i think that today you will pass this terrible figure. 5 million deaths already from covid and what the world health organization is saying is that there will be another 5 million more unless we act. we have had 2a5 million cases of covid. they could be 200 million more in the next year alone. that is why we have to act, because if the disease spreads in poorer countries, then you have new mutations of the disease, new variants, they will come back to haunt us and even the fully vaccinated here like you and me will be vulnerable to this disease in a new form. that is why we have to vaccinate everybody. {flare we have to vaccinate everybody. give me some numbers _ we have to vaccinate everybody. give me some numbers in terms of how much there is, where it is, and how quickly or easily it is to organise flights to these places to get free vaccines out, particularly before they expire. vaccines out, particularly before they mire-— vaccines out, particularly before the exire. , . ., they expire. these are all the right auestions they expire. these are all the right questions because _ they expire. these are all the right questions because we _ they expire. these are all the right questions because we think -

"buy local" and "drive electric" to help save the planet — that's the kind of advice you might not expect from the terminator. but ahead of the un climate change conference which starts this weekend, former actor and politician, arnold schwarzenegger has been telling tom heap why it's not too late to change the way we live. i think anything can be done. if you see it and believe it, then you can achieve it. it's that simple. the terminator might seem an unlikely environmental champion. his most iconic movie role was dedicated to eliminating humanity. i'll be back. and i will not let you down. his return to the public arena as a politician, serving as republican governor of california for eight years, was marked by tough environmental laws on exhaust fumes, growing wind and solar energy, and ambitious carbon reduction targets. he now runs the schwarzenegger climate initiative. we are the only place that really reduced greenhouse gases by 25% and brought it back to the 1990 level. what we are so happy about is that we are proving simultaneously that it is the best job creator when you go green. we are number one economically in the united states, with a gdp of $3.3 trillion. that, at the same time, makes us the fifth—largest economy in the world. at the same time while we have the strictest environmental laws. so it shows to you you can protect the environment and you can protect the economy at the same time. so all of those countries that come and give speeches — we are not going to go and lose jobs because of going green — they are liars. or they are just stupid and they don't know how to do it. because we figured it out, how to do it, they can figure it out how to do it. and it's all about having the balls to do it. california's thriving economy is bigger than britain's, and some of that wealth is conspicuous. do you honestly believe that the world population, the 8 billion people, can kind of live like californians, or do we have to be honest and say we will have to give up a bit? no, i don't think you have to give up. i think you just have to switch. look, what do you have to give up? if you go from... if i went from a 300 horsepower hummer that was diesel fuelled and now i go and build an electric engine in there. and now it is a80 horsepower and it's electric. what did i give up? i'm still driving my hummer. but he often swaps horsepower for leg power on the streets of santa monica, and wants to change the way we shop. buy local products. i mean, it is absurd, this kind of tonnage of stuff we are shipping back and forth and creating this unbelievable pollution. but wouldn't people say that is just global capitalism and, as a republican, that is something... you can have global capitalism, but you have to be smart about it. you can go and compete and all that stuff on a global level, but let's go and reduce pollution. because you can have the best capitalism, and global capitalism in the world, but if people are dead, they are dead. it's over. arnold still trains at the gym most days and he's happy to share his skills. exhale. i said let go. ok, slowly up, slowly up. spread your wings. but the question troubling many is how much heavy lifting world leaders will do at the upcoming climate summit in glasgow. people are saying it's a game—changer, make or break. i think that we have to go and button up and just really work together in order to really conquer this problem. i think we have conquered problems in the past. we have terminated problems in the past, i think we can do it again. we all have to work together — that is the bottom line. and to take politics out and just say, "we've got to save the world." and we all have to work together. arnold schwarzenegger, i will shake on that. thank you very much indeed. when he talks, you listen, don't you? when he talks, you listen, don't ou? , ., when he talks, you listen, don't ou? , . ., , , you? yes, and he has been campaigning _ you? yes, and he has

news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. a charity that supports domestic abuse victims of african and caribbean heritage says 97% of its service users complain about the treatment they receive from police and government agencies. sistah space has released this video showing how black women are at an increased risk of being left at home a petition for valerie ford was started after police dealt poorly with her abuse. valerie forde was murdered having gone to the police station and reported domestic abuse. valerie's law seeks to make it compulsory for police and any other agency that supports african and caribbean heritage women and girls to take training to understand the culture and the specific needs of black women. check the met said it was working with charities and other organisations to prove its knowledge of and response to reports of domestic violence in black women. charities are urging the government to come up with a long—term solution to homelessness and continue support given to rough sleepers during the pandemic. the government has announced its releasing funding. that will help people with drug and alcohol problems. it needs to be as much about the system as the individual parts of it. we don't want to be setting up beds that have no drug treatment in, or beds that have got no health care in, or drug treatment services that don't come with someone being housed on the same day. it has to happen together, or else it won't work. if you are heading out on the tube there aren't delays on the circle and metropolitan lines. good morning. it is another mild but largely cloudy start to the day. we have a very slow moving cold front. that will bring rain for time this morning but clearing the afternoon. it is pushed through, the breeze still there, but the rain will start to care. still some showers, but drier through the afternoon with more but the rain will start to clear. still some showers, but drier through the afternoon with more sunshine to end the day. temperatures again mild. we are looking at a maximum of 16 celsius. overnight tonight, we are still at risk of one or two showers at least to start with. drier for time with one or two clear spells but the cloud increasing as we head through to saturday morning. and then some spells of rain into saturday itself. the minimum temperature, 9—10 c. today's cold front will introduce slightly fresher air. the weekend is quite unsettled. spells of rain. dry for saturday afternoon. more spells of rain for sunday morning. still quite breezy over the weekend and the temperature getting a little bit chillier. not especially cold but a few degrees cooler over the weekend, and staying unsettled and chilli are still into next week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up on breakfast this morning. it's a discovery that's left experts astounded — in half an hour we'll meet the archaeologist whose team unearthed roman statues on the hs2 route. web searches for british sign language go up 1,000 percent we'll find out more from deaf dancer and choreographer, mark smith. and just after nine, we'll be live in walford to chat with eastenders' newest resident. good morning. an estimated 13 million women in the uk are living with the menopause — but the treatment to relieve its symptoms can amount to hundreds or even thousands of pounds. today, mps are due to vote on a bill that — if passed — would make hormone replacement therapy free in england. here's more from our political correspondent helen catt. because i'm post—menopausal, so i have got a pill — progesterone and oestrogen. so that goes on on the top. i don't know what it is. it's got the most amazing glue, because it really does stick. adele martin went through the menopause just before she left a career in finance to run this pub in kent. from confidence to mood swings to brain fog, to where sometimes the people around me just weren't really sure what mood i was going to be in. i could be really, really tearful or really, really, really grumpy. and then, bizarrely, things like electric shocks, as well. but they were quite funny. yeah, my daughter didn't want to come near me, because she was scared. because every time i got out of the car, i seemed to create electric shocks. but overall, her experience was anything but funny. i felt like i just completely lost myself. and at the time, ijust didn't know what it was. sorry. it was menopause. and this is why i do what i do, because i just didn't want another woman...to look in the mirror and lose themselves like i did. i talk to women. it's taken me probably the last two years to really share my story. and the more i share my story, the more women share theirs. and it's just not fair. so it has sort of given me the courage to share my story. so if somebody else listens to what happened to me, then hopefully, they will ask for help. because i didn't know. she says hormone replacement therapy, hrt, stopped her hot flushes and helped her feel normal again. nine years later, she's still using it, paying £9.35 for each box. there does seem to be growing agreement in westminster that more needs to be done to help women navigate their way through the menopause — to help them find the right treatments for their symptoms. that could be through greater awareness, through more education for gps. but some want to see more help with the costs. the labour mp carolyn harris is trying to get mps to vote to make hrt free in england as it is in scotland, wales and northern ireland. we're talking about 51% of the population who are suffering this and need... they need the the choices to make that decision if they want hrt. it's not for everyone, but it's also about everything else. it's notjust about the hrt. with millions of women in england eligible, the cost of making hrt free would be significant. and it's notjust menopausal women who have to pay for prescriptions. people with long—term health conditions have been campaigning for their medications to become free in england, too. for somebody like parkinson's, that means that you could have eight or nine medications each month. so it's really expensive to live with a long—term condition like that. you can, however, buy a prepayment certificate. so for three months it costs just over £30. for 12 months it costs just over £108. but some people have told us, particularly those with long—term conditions, that actually it's quite a lot of money still to to find. only a small proportion of menopausal women who could take hrt actually do. a flawed study in the early 2000s led to misleading publicity about the possible risks. it's still blamed for putting women off. in a statement, the government said it was deeply committed to ensuring women are able to access high—quality menopause treatment, including hormone replacement therapy. this is my design. adele is herself off to parliament today, adding her voice to the calls for change. helen catt, bbc news, rochester. we can discuss this now with one of our regular gps, doctor nighat arif. i hope you are able to hear the report. adele was telling her story and it brings home some of the problems

stories coming forward and all walks of life. i remember as a junior doctor sitting at a hospital in slough at 3am, a woman in her mid—a0s, holding onto the railing of the bed, flashing, having palpitations, saying she felt spiders under her skin and a metallic taste in her mouth and itching around her eyes. we did a set of bloods and everything was normal. then we sent her home saying it was probably depression and gave her antidepressants. looking back, it was not. she was perimenopausal, she had symptoms in our department and as a junior doctor i missed it. we need to stop this, stop this cycle of missing the signs and symptoms in women. fine cycle of missing the signs and symptoms in women.- cycle of missing the signs and symptoms in women. cycle of missing the signs and s m toms in women. ., ,, , symptoms in women. one of the issues bein: symptoms in women. one of the issues being brought — symptoms in women. one of the issues being brought up _ symptoms in women. one of

issues being brought up today is the cost - being brought up today is the cost of treatment and hrt and why it is not available for free. what difference would this make, when you talk to people who say i need this, options for this, how much easier would it make live? let options for this, how much easier would it make live?— options for this, how much easier would it make live? let me put this into context- _ would it make live? let me put this into context. carolyn _ would it make live? let me put this into context. carolyn harris - would it make live? let me put this into context. carolyn harris said - into context. carolyn harris said 51% of women go through this. this is a natural transition in life. but we are losing vital hormones, and menopause, perimenopause, has to be seen as a hormone deficiency disorder. as you would with thyroid conditions and you get free medication for a lack of thyroid. but we do not see the same pattern for women when they go through this transition. to be able to supplement hormones because these are a hormone deficiency disorder, it would be life changing and women would then be able to carry on with their other jobs and activities of daily living. the most important thing is that hormone replacement therapy, it does give women their life back because we replace hormones. but it is about employment and allowing women to have sustainable relationships. the highest divorce rate is around when women go through menopause. and one in four women consider suicide, consider leaving their workplace, which means we will never tackle the gender pay gap in society. this is far more out reaching. it is a step forward for equality for women. this comes in front _ forward for equality for women. this comes in front of mps today and feels like an important vote. you will be well aware it is different in scotland and wales, where the prescriptions are free. your colleagues, who work across the board in those places, are able to prescribe and there is no cost. it prescribe and there is no cost. ut is a huge difference, so unfair. i feel awful as a gp because for some patients who need added hormones such as testosterone, we are not able to prescribe that on the nhs unless a woman goes privately or to a menopause specialist who is able to prescribe it. and these are barriers i feel for women to get the care and treatment they need. there are factors around that. you mentioned in the report the study, a flawed study that put off a lot of women and health care professionals in prescribing hrt because we were concerned about the link with oestrogen, hrt therapy and breast cancer. that study has been rebuffed, flawed. even the authors of the study have apologised to say the findings were not accurate. we have not got past that. in england it is an historic change and i am proud of every individual involved in making these changes. fin a in making these changes. on a ractical in making these changes. on a practical level, _ in

it is not accurate enough, it will always be our symptoms. accurate enough, it will always be oursymptoms. if accurate enough, it will always be our symptoms. if you want hormone replacement therapy because you are going through a hormone deficiency condition, have a discussion around that. there are different types. sprays, tablets, even a coil that can give you the proponent and there are alternatives. antidepressants are alternatives. antidepressants are not the worse thing and i will prescribe them for some because it could be there are psychological symptoms that are overriding. hrt

football tournament, they tend to meet each other. and that is what has happened with the women's euros. the hosts england have been drawn against northern ireland in the women's euros next summer. there were wry smiles as northern ireland was pulled out tojoin england in group a. it's their debut in the tournamant. the two home nations go head to head in the third round of fixtures in the group stages. austria and norway are the other two countries in their group. norway obviously is like one of the top—ranked teams, and austria and northern ireland, a little lower than that. but in a tournament, things can happen. you just have to make sure that you feel prepared and just have a very good approach to every game you play. we're underdogs, obviously, you know, but we've playedi all of these teams since kennis came in, which is an added _ advantage for us. you know, we're familiar with these teams. - and, you know, even when i think of norway, we played them in thej first game and how far we've come since then, you know, _ we're going to go into these games with no fear. - we're underdogs. we'll give it everything. and, you know, who knows what can happen. - now, it's a pretty far—fetched plot, but hollywood stars ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney say they can take non—league wrexham football club all the way to the premier league. the pair bought wrexham back in february and were visiting the stadium for the first time. they were asked for their aims and — on the record — said they wanted to get into the top tier. maybe this is my naivete. isaid i said couldn't we get them to the premier league? and he laughed. he said that couldn't happen. i do not understand why, we have the structure and system potentially to allow for us to grow at that scale. why not dream big? why not? emma raducanu has donated her us open trophy to the lta, she revealed the news after reaching the quarterfinals of the tra nslyvania open. the british number one beat the home favourite ana bogdan in straight sets and is back on court this evening to play 19—year—old ukrainian marta kostyuk. raducanu said the lta had helped her so much she had wanted them to have the trophy as a thank you. yorkshire cricket club say no action will be taken against any of its staff following allegations of racism made by theirformer player azeem rafiq. that's despite the club apologising to rafiq last month and accepting an independent investigation's findings that he had been a victim of racial harassment and bullying while at the club. following an internal enquiry, yorkshire say they concluded "that there is no conduct or action taken by any of its employees, players or executives that warrants disciplinary action." a spokesman for rafiq has called on the yorkshire board to resign. the west indies play bangladesh and pakistan take on afghanistan in cricket's t20 world cup later. england play australia tomorrow and the aussies were in action yesterday against sri lanka. they cruised to a seven—wicket victory. australia have won their first two games, as have england. rugby union's autumn internationals start this weekend. wales have named their team to face new zealand in saturday. new zealand on saturday. 21—year—old flanker taine basham gets his first start. gareth anscombe will play against the country of his birth and captain alun wynjones will get his 1a9th cap, surpassing the previous record set by all blacks legend richie mccaw. wales' selection has been hampered by a number of injuries and — because the game is outside world rugby�*s international window — many players are unavailable. it's about what is the combination that we think can get the job done out of the players that are available. so...yeah, it's been a tricky time, i've got to say. you know, it's been sort of nine or ten days now together as a group, with this group just focusing on one game of rugby. so that's how we've pitched it. we'll have reinforcements come into the squad next week. that is tomorrow. scotland play in the early game. a lot to look forward to. let's get the weather with sarah, who's in norwich this morning. she is with a great big earth behind her. it looks stunning in norwich this morning. yes it's beautiful. i am privileged this morning to be at st peter mancroft in norwich with the gaia installation by artist luke jerram. gaia was a greek goddess of earth, sometimes known as mother earth. tell me a little bit about how gaia ended up in norwich? firstly, it is very beautiful, part of the reason we wanted to have it. we also wanted to raise awareness of climate change in the run—up to the cop26 conference. it was described by frank white in 1987 and it is the sense of awe reverence astronauts feel seeing

north—west england, southern scotland and some places have still got flood warnings in force. through the course of the day we expect further rain in areas that could do without it and turning cooler through the day. the wet weather down to the fact that we have an area of low pressure and associated where fronts draped across the uk. that front is bringing heavy rain this morning but it will move eastwards through the day. the heaviest downpours be in parts of wales, north—west england and central and southern scotland this morning. some dry weather in northern ireland in southern england this morning. the rain moves eastward through the afternoon and lingers in eastern scotland and north—east england. temperatures between 1a—16. feeling cooler across the north of scotland. reasonably mild, but things turn cooler tonight and particularly into next week. that rain tears away towards the east. a drier interlude and then more heavy rain moving in from the west through the early hours of saturday. overnight temperatures 5-10, saturday. overnight temperatures 5—10, and a wet start to saturday. the rain on saturday moves eastwards fairly quickly so it will be an improving picture

further heavy spells of rain. a bit drier across the north of scotland on sunday. temperatures 10—13. things are turning cooler. an unsettled picture through the weekend. more rain around. as we head

now to get the news weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tarah welsh. a petition to get better training for authorities working with black victims of domestic violence has got more than 75,000 signatures. but it needs 100,000 to be recognised by parliament. stars like lewis hamilton and fka twigs have supported this campaign for valarie's law. it's named after valerie forde who, along with her little girl, was murdered by her ex—partner after the police dealt poorly with her complaints of abuse. valerie forde was murdered, having gone to the police station and reported domestic abuse, and it was put as a threat to property. valerie's law seeks to make it compulsory for police and any other agency that supports african and caribbean heritage women and girls...must take training to understand the culture and the specific needs of black women. the metropolitan police said it was working with charities and other organisations to improve its knowledge of and response to reports of domestic violence from black women. charities are urging the government to come up with a long—term solution to homelessness and continue support given to rough sleepers during the pandemic. the government says it's providing funding to help those on the streets during the winter months and for those affected by drug and alcohol problems. it needs to be as much about the system as the individual parts of it. we don't want to be setting up beds that have no drug treatment in, or beds that have got no health care in, or drug—treatment services that don't come with someone being housed on the same day. it has to happen together, or else it won't work. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it's another mild but largely cloudy start to the day. we do have a very slow—moving cold front and that's going to bring a spell of rain for a time this morning, but clearing into the afternoon. it's pushed through, the breeze still there, still noticeable, but the rain will gradually start to clear. still some showers, but drier through the afternoon with a bit more sunshine to end the day and temperatures again mild — we're looking at a maximum of 16 celsius. now overnight tonight, we are still at risk of maybe one or two showers — at least to start with. drier for a time with one or two clear spells, but the cloud increasing again as we head through to saturday morning and then some spells of rain into saturday itself. the minimum temperature — again, mild — 9 or 10 celsius. but today's cold front is going to introduce some slightly fresher air. now the weekend is quite unsettled — spells of rain. drier for saturday afternoon then more spells of rain for sunday morning. still quite breezy over the weekend, and the temperature getting a little bit chillier. not especially cold but we're looking at a few degrees cooler over the weekend, and staying unsettled and chillier still into next week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. torrential downpours cause floods in southern scotland and northwest england. two footbridges have been swept away and there's major disruption on a major train line. fighting overfishing — the french ambassador in london is summoned to the foreign office as the row between the uk and france escalates. e—cigarettes could soon be prescribed on the nhs in england to help smokers quit. good morning. are you getting less for your money in the supermarket? some food companies are cutting the size of products, but not adjusting the price. it's known as shrinkflation, and i'll explain what's going on. good morning. iam in norwich good morning. i am in norwich at st peter mancroft church with the stunning gaia light installation. we will be taking a look in a moment as well as a full forecast after the really heavy rain and flooding we have had recently, there is more rain around for some three today. it's friday october the 29th. our main story. one of the major train lines between scotland and england is facing major disruption this morning after torrential rain. two footbridges were also washed away by flood waters in southern scotland — with more downpours forecast today. aruna iyengar has this report. scotland was lashed with torrential rain, with multiple floods and danger—to—life warnings across the country. here in dumfries and galloway, the river annan burst its banks. two footbridges were swept away — including this, the cuthbertson memorial bridge. in the whitesands area of dumfries, police warned people to stay away from the area after the river nith burst its banks. emergency services worked together, rescuing four people from flooded homes. in hawick in the scottish borders, the river teviot reached a peak of 2.9 metres before water started to recede. residents had been evacuated from homes, but there's some relief — they've now been told it's safe to go home. schools in the peebles area were closed as the river tweed burst its banks. this, a riverbank view in cumbria — and month's worth of rain fell on wednesday and into thursday. here in cockermouth, flood defences have been a lifeline, but residents are weary and want longer—term solutions. i think the government need to look seriously at climate change and try and work out ways that we can help people, support people and stop this kind of damage from happening in the future. yellow weather warnings are in place for today across cumbria, the scottish borders, wales and devon and cornwall. it means more rain, which could lead to travel disruption and flooded roads. damage to homes and businesses is still possible. these anxious times for people living low—lying areas. aruna iyengar, bbc news. let's get more now on the situation in cumbria. our reporter megan paterson is in cockermouth this morning. we is in cockermouth this morning. saw daylight imagr where we saw daylight images i think of where you are. it is dark at the moment but we can certainly see the water is flowing very fast. absolutely. in the darkness here, i don't know if you can make out the water, it is fairly high, flowing really quickly and there is a degree flowing downstream. the water level has gone down significantly, though, said last night. i would not have been able to stand here safely yesterday. there are still nine flood here in cumbria although we got a bit of respite from the heavy rain overnight, those heavy rain showers are back now. the environment agency is warning people to remain vigilant over the next 36 hours. there is rain still forecast and the ground is saturated and the rivers are already full. they are ageing people to be careful around the flood water because it can be very dangerous and deceptive. yesterday clock mountain rescue team had to rescue two people and their dogs who were waiting chest deep so they don't want to go those of emergencies. around a0 properties had to deal with flood water yesterday. today they are cleaning up yesterday. today they are cleaning up but the hope is that the number not grow much more. we do know there is much destruction around the county's roads today and on the main rail route, the west coast main line travelling through the country up to scotland. people being advised not to travel any further than preston today. the weather is expected to improve, people you are getting up, early morning customers going on, everyone with a watchful eye on the weather because any heavy rainfall here causes anxiety because there is so much flooding in the recent past. thank you very much for that and we will bring you right up to date with the weather through the programme this morning. the french ambassador to the uk has been summoned to the foreign office today is a dispute over post brexit fishing rights appears to be deepening. a british trawler has been detained in normandy — and french ministers are threatening more action unless the uk issues more licences to fish in its waters. let's speak to our political correspondent nick eardley. we spoke about how this is a thing, this french ambassador being summoned, this is serious. if nothing positive comes out of this cut this situation ramp up even further? ., ~ cut this situation ramp up even further? . ,, ., ., further? yeah, i think at the moment it looks more — further? yeah, i think at the moment it looks more like _ further? yeah, i think at the moment it looks more like escalating - further? yeah, i think at the moment it looks more like escalating than i it looks more like escalating than going away, so i can't think of another example of the french ambassador being summoned to the foreign office. it is normally hostile countries who see their man in london forced to appear before ministers and explain what is going on. this row has been bubbling for a while but it has really escalated in the last few days so basically it is about enforcing part of the brexit deal on fishing and as part of that deal, french boats who want to come and fish in uk waters had to apply for a licence. the french are furious that some of those licences have not been approved. uk says it is not many. 98% of eu boats that wants to fish in uk waters are being allowed, so says the uk government, but france is really unhappy at the ones that have not been allowed in, and the rhetoric has got pretty extreme over the last 2a hours or so. france is saying that the only language of the uk seems to understand is the force and it is saying that if there is not a resolution to all of this by tuesday, it will block some british boats from docking at french ports, increased checks on french boats, it could even cut off electricity to jersey. the uk side yesterday saying everybody keep calm but seems to have decided that, actually, it is past that point now. uk thinking about how it might retaliate, the ambassador being summoned this afternoon. it does feel like it is a pretty significant row. we have had loads of rows over fishing over the last few years, in the dimension of brexit and this one feels like it could get worse before it gets better. ~ ., could get worse before it gets better. ~ . , . could get worse before it gets better. . . , . ,

eustice, the secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs, so all of that his remit. we will be speaking to him at 7:30am. labour's deputy leader, angela rayner, has apologised "unreservedly" for calling conservatives "scum" at her party's conference. she initially stood by the remarks, but said she had reflected since that there was too much abuse in political debate — and vowed to be "more ca reful" about her language. more than 160 globalfigures have called on richer nations to share their surplus covid vaccines with less—developed countries. they say that unless action is taken at the g20 summit this weekend, hundreds of thousands of lives could be lost. the warning comes in a letter organised by former prime minister gordon brown. countries have overordered and are overstocked and not getting the vaccines out quickly enough so a lot of vaccines could be wasted past their expiry date and we know that nobody is safe anywhere until everybody is vaccinated everywhere. i think that today you will pass this terrible figure — 5 million deaths already from covid — and what the world health organization is saying, that there will be another 5 million more deaths unless we act. pope francis has urged global leaders to take radical decisions that offer hope to the world ahead of this weekend's climate change summit. he's called on those gathering to act now to tackle the looming environmental crisis. with just a8 hours to go, our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, has been taking a look at the final preparations. there's no confusion about where this huge conference is taking place, and an army of volunteers are welcoming cop26 visitors to the city. we're welcoming delegates with a warm glasgow smile. it is a bit gloomy and cloudy but all the volunteers have, like, a sunny 22 degrees inside of them. 25,000 delegates are expected. businesses in the area where the summit will take place are hoping for a bounce. we offer very nice little coffees and everything, so even if they wanted to come for a wee coffee or some pancakes or something, that would be amazing. but they're facing challenges, too. so far it's been a nightmare, just the start of it. like, trying to travel to work — it's absolutely horrendous. and there is already disruption with slip roads, pedestrian walkways and bridges closed around the site. this is one of the main arterial roads heading into the centre of glasgow, and it's been shut to the thousands of drivers who use it every day. accommodation is also proving a problem — the cost of renting flats or rooms has rocketed because of cop. welcome to glasgow! so around 1,000 people, including jack and kim, have opened their homes to delegates, and more are needed. i'd heard that poorer countries were getting placed out of coming — i was absolutely horrified that only the richer countries' voices would be heard in terms of politicians and lobby groups, so i felt it was really important that everybody was included. when glasgow people opened their door to us, we are very delighted to come also, voice our concern. some schools on the conference doorstep will have to close briefly. these pupils may never have expected world leaders to be driving past their classroom windows — and they've got a message they want to pass on. i kind of feel...like, kind of stressed and annoyed about it because it's just disrupting our lives. i'd just rather that so many people didn't come — only the world leaders. they're not going to get here, like, being eco—friendly. - and also i feel like they're just going to talk about things i but not actually do it. ..have an impact on your lives... hope from the children here for action — and notjust words — and that the disruption they could face over the next two weeks will be worth it. lorna gordon, bbc news, glasgow. we will take a look at the weather when sarah although the image we are seeing does not scream church to me. it is a rather dramatic view of the earth below it is indeed. good morning. i am earth below it is indeed. good morning. iam in earth below it is indeed. good morning. i am in norwich at st peter mancroft. i really privileged and lucky to be here to view the gaia, created by lukejerram, who wanted to create the sense of the overview effect of planet, described by astronauts when they go into space and looked back down onto our precious planet. people often describe the feeling of profound understanding of the interconnectivity of planet earth and just how precious and fragile one home is protected byjust a very thin atmosphere around this beautiful fragile spinning blue marble. it is hoped that people will have a similar reaction when they come here and there has been about 30,000 people through the door. they have been really amazed and quite an emotional reaction to this beautiful light installation, gaia. onto the weather and it has certainly been very wet across much of the country. we still have flood warnings in force across parts of south—west england, north—west england and scotland. it will be another wet day. we have further rain around today and things will turn cooler, as well. the rain we had this morning will slowly ease eastward through the day. it will be heaviest for a time in wales. again north—west england, southern scotland, could be another a0 millimetres falling on top of what we have already seen over recent days. this afternoon will be across eastern scotland have not the with sunny spells developing elsewhere and temperatures a little bit cooler than recent days, around 1a to 16 degrees for most. in two this evening and overnight the wrinklies from the east so a dry spell for a time but yet more heavy showery rain moving in from the west through the early hours of saturday morning. won't be particularly cold, five to ten the overnight low, so frost—free but tomorrow is likely to start up for many on a sucky note. tomorrow's ray put eastwards, so it will brighten for most areas, still a few showers in from the west particularly for north—west scotland and a touch cooler than recent days, so temperatures around ten to 1a degrees. it is still looking unsettled and more rain for many through the day on sunday and then you will notice into next week that things will turn much colder that they have been. an autumnal unsettled theme to our weather over the next couple of days. thank you. wales' first minister, mark drakeford, says he will have no choice but to reintroduce covid restrictions across the country if cases don't fall in the next three weeks. the latest figures show infection rates are at record levels. let's take a look now at the situation across the wider uk. in england, there were a81 cases per 100,000 people over the last week. face coverings aren't required by law. there are no social—distancing measures in most places, and covid passes aren't compulsory for nightclubs or large events. wales has the highest infection rate in the uk, with 686 cases per 100,000 people. face coverings are needed on public transport, shops and most indoor public places. there is no social distancing in most places, but a covid pass is needed for nightclubs and many large events. in northern ireland, there were a67 cases per 100,000 people in the latest weekly figures. people are required to wear face coverings on public transport, in shops and in most indoor settings. there are social—distancing measures in place in pubs and restaurants — and nightclubs remain closed until the end of this month. scotland has the lowest weekly rates, at 32a cases per 100,000 people. face coverings are mandatory on public transport, in secondary schools and in some inside areas like shops. social—distancing measures are not required in most places, but all over—18s must prove their vaccine status at nightclubs and other venues. we'll focus on the situation in wales. we're joined now by the first minister of wales, mark drakeford. good morning. could you first of all give your analysis of the situation in wales this morning? this situation — in wales this morning? this situation in _ in wales this morning? this

too many cases of coronavirus in the community. vaccination continues to stem the flow of people into hospitals and hospitals are under huge pressure. we wanted to keep wales safe and keep wales open but we have to do more over the next three weeks to bring those numbers down, otherwise we will have to think of a wider repertoire of actions that white when you say "we have to do more", that is not

place in schools to make sure we are taking the maximum action we can to help reduce the spread of infections among around young people. there are further measures we can take, we don't have managed to keep wales at the lowest level of zero for many weeks now but with the numbers as they are in the community we have literally thousands of people every day falling ill with coronavirus. they cannot be in work, cannot be out helping with the economy, and we have to do something to bring those numbers down. hf have to do something to bring those numbers down. iti have to do something to bring

need to do new risk assessment, there may be a wider range of locations for covid passes. can you specify? because this is a short time frame, this is three weeks. in a way it seems you are laying down the gauntlet to the welsh nation, saying, they think will happen. can you be more specific about what you mean in terms of the things that will be different in three weeks if it has not changed?— will be different in three weeks if it has not changed? well, we will be sa in: it has not changed? well, we will be saying today — it has not changed? well, we will be saying today that — it has not

weeks to prepare for the possibility that covid passes may have to be introduced in that setting, so that is a specific example of an action we can take in three weeks. i talk about risk assessment in the workplace, the number of people who can work safely from home, maybe we will have to do more of that. at the moment, as you said, we don't have social distancing as a stand—alone measure in the workplace. we did for many, many months. if we can't bring the numbers down through the actions we will take over the next three weeks, we will have to revisit a basket of measures that we have drawn on previously. measures that we have drawn on previously-— measures that we have drawn on reviousl . ,, ,. , , ., previously. shutting schools, is not an 0 tion previously. shutting schools, is not an

schools but there are things that could be donein but there are things that could be done in schools to try to reduce the spread of the virus. all of those have a downside, as well as an upside. they disrupt the experience of education for children and young people and surely they have had enough of that over the last 18 months. if it is a matter of keeping people safe, welsh government has never shied away taking the necessary measures and a further measures are necessary in three weeks, that is what we will do. the messa . e weeks, that is what we will do. the message seems, mark drakeford, to beat tee you have always asked people to do the right thing. you give guidelines, in some cases there are specific rules you are required to follow. but within that you require people to try and do the right thing. implicit in what you are saying seems to be that people in wales are not behaving correctly. well, most people in wales continue to observe the rules and make their contribution. it does not take a very large number of people to be acting otherwise to have an impact on community spread. when you see the numbers that we have. there are other explanations behind the numbers. wales had the most successful vaccination programme. we think we may see the impact of that earlier than other parts of the united kingdom. earlier in the summer we met who went many weeks when wales had the lowest rate of infection anywhere in the uk and it may be that there is a large reservoir of people that the delta variant is able to attack, driving our numbers up. well, i am sure we will see in the next three weeks is the collective determination of people in wales to grasp this situation and to help everyone of us to get these numbers back down so that we can carry on with the level of very modest restrictions we currently have as we get further into the autumn and winter. mark drakeford. _ into the autumn and winter. mark drakeford, thank _ into the autumn and winter. mark drakeford,

your money in your weekly shop recently. it's because of so—called shrinkflation — sarah's here to explain. things may be a little confused because we know prices are going up but there are other things going on within the weight produce is served and how the pricing is worked out.- produce is served and how the pricing is worked out. that's right. what we are _ pricing is worked out. that's right. what we are saying _ pricing is worked out. that's right. what we are saying is _ pricing is worked out. that's right. what we are saying is that - pricing is worked out. that's right. what we are saying is that some l what we are saying is that some items like crisps and sweets, for example, reducing in size but the prize is staying the same so that means, follow us, and the money is not going as far and this happened before the pandemic but we are seeing more of it at the moment and i will explain why. good morning, everyone. we are talking about shrinkflation today, manufacturers cutting the weight or size of products, rather than asking us to pay more. we've found some examples. a walkers classic multipack used to have 2a bags — but for the same price at one big supermarket you now get only 22 bags. and it's notjust food — here's a washing detergent from surf. you used to get 25 washes out of an 875 millilitre bottle. now you get a bottle with 2a washes. the price hasn't changed. and seven years ago twix bars weighed 58 grams. now they're 50 grams. and do you remember when toblerone increased the gaps between the triangles, reducing the overall size of the bar? we spoke to fiona — a mum of two from peckham. she's really noticed the difference in her weekly shop. once upon a time, you never used to notice that your packets of crisps or whatever it is that you're buying are, like, not as as hot. but when you... i know there's a time when i'd be eating and i'm thinking, "that's finished already?!" so either portion sizes are reducing or...there'sjust... i don't know. it'sjust seems that i am constantly in the supermarket, and when i am in the supermarket i always think... i come home, i unpack and i think, "what... where is the food? like, what did i buy?" so why is this happening? shrinkflation is not new ? but manufacturers are facing soaring costs right now. ingredients are more expensive. energy bills are going up. there are problems with global shipping. firms are struggling to recruit workers. wages are increasing to attract new staff. that's pushed global food prices to a ten—year high. the boss of heinz, which makes tomato sauce and baked beans, says we need to get used to higher prices. and supermarket chain iceland said it was "inevitable" there'd be more price rises in the future. here's adam french from which? — who says transparency from retailers is key. you want to be making informed decisions when you're out shopping and know exactly what it is that you're buying. it isn't always as simple, because if you've just put up the prices, for example, that means your shopping will cost more, which isn't a good option for most of us. sometimes you're better off having a little bit less for our money than having to spend more in the first place. but the key thing is up—front, transparent communication from manufacturers. now food suppliers point out that pricing is down to the retailer. but with petrol prices at a record high, energy bills rising and changes to national insurance on the way, it's just another example of how the cost of living is going up for all us. so have you noticed shrinkflation when you've been out shopping? get in contact in the usual ways — the details are on your screen now. what i think we will probably see in the run—up to the christmas period is fewer at discounts and special offers because businesses are trying to claw back those increasing costs and lots of people have said to me, what is going on at the moment is this a perfect storm of factors all colliding at the same time, these global forces really bearing down on the supply chain. brute global forces really bearing down on the supply chain-— the supply chain. we are looking for thins for the supply chain. we are looking for things for which _ the supply chain. we are looking for things for which you _ the supply chain. we are looking for things for which you are _ the supply chain. we are

black victims of domestic violence has got more than 75,000 signatures. but it needs 100,000 to be recognised by parliament. stars like lewis hamilton and fka twigs have supported this campaign for valarie�*s law. it's named after valerie forde who, along with her little girl, was murdered by her ex—partner after the police dealt poorly with her complaints of abuse. valerie forde was murdered, having gone to the police station and reported domestic abuse, and it was put as a threat to property. valerie�*s law seeks to make it compulsory for police and any other agency that supports african and caribbean heritage women and girls...must take training to understand the culture and the specific needs of black women. the met police said it was working with charities and other organisations to improve its knowledge of and response to reports of domestic violence from black women. charities are urging the government to come up with a long—term solution to homelessness and continue support given to rough sleepers during the pandemic. the government says it is providing funding to help those on the streets during the winter months and for those affected by drug and alcohol problems. it needs to be as much about the system as the individual parts of it. we don't want to be setting up beds that have no drug treatment in, or beds that have got no health care in, or drug—treatment services that don't come with someone being housed on the same day. it has to happen together, or else it won't work. there are severe delays on the metropolitan line this morning. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it's another mild but largely cloudy start to the day. we do have a very slow—moving cold front and that's going to bring a spell of rain for a time this morning, but clearing into the afternoon. it's pushed through, the breeze still there, still noticeable, but the rain will gradually start to clear. still some showers, but drier through the afternoon with a bit more sunshine to end the day and temperatures again mild — we're looking at a maximum of 16 celsius. now overnight tonight, we are still at risk of maybe one or two showers — at least to start with. drier for a time with one or two clear spells, but the cloud increasing again as we head through to saturday morning and then some spells of rain into saturday itself. the minimum temperature — again, mild — 9 or 10 celsius. but today's cold front is going to introduce some slightly fresher air. now the weekend is quite unsettled — spells of rain. drier for saturday afternoon, then more spells of rain for sunday morning. still quite breezy over the weekend, and the temperature getting a little bit chillier. not especially cold but we're looking at a few degrees cooler over the weekend, and staying unsettled and chillier still into next week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. the growing dispute between the uk and france over fishing licences, with french ministers threatening action if britain does not issue more permits to trawl its waters. george eustice is the secretary of

said on wednesday, when they said they were going to introduce all sorts of problems or make life difficult for people, that is why these issues get more attention than otherwise. can ou talk more

they were going to change the way they were going to change the way they operate their borders in a way that would be a breach of the trade and cooperation agreement and also a breach of their own laws, under eu law. we think the right thing to do is to raise this first with the european commission, who represent france internationally on such matters, but directly with the french, so the foreign secretary to summon the french ambassador to ask them to give an account of what they intend and to discuss this matter. what is your message to the french this morning? we what is your message to the french this morning?— this morning? we think it is a completely — this morning? we think it is a completely disproportionate i completely disproportionate statement they have made and would be totally unjustified. the truth is we have licensed 1700 eu vessels, 750 are french and it includes 120 vessels to fish in inshore waters, and jersey this week has issued licences to around 163 vessels, almost all of those are french. we are talking about a small number of vessels, 55 injersey are talking about a small number of vessels, 55 in jersey waters, are talking about a small number of vessels, 55 injersey waters, that do not qualify for access because they have not accessed jersey waters before and have been unable to produce data to demonstrate it. this is a small number who do not qualify and at some point france needs to recognise that. can and at some point france needs to recognise that.— and at some point france needs to recognise that. can i reference the words

minister, saying about you and your government, the language of force seems to be the only thing this british government understands. i think that is inflammatory and the wrong way to go about these things. the truth is we are abiding by the terms of the trade and cooperation agreement and we made an offer to the eu in that agreement that if they forfeited some of their crater in our waters and

the first in the world to be prescribed e—cigarettes by their doctors to help them kick the habit. the medicines regulator is inviting manufacturers to submit their vapes for approval. linda bauld is a professor of public health — and a regular fixture on breakfast. how will this work? you have done a lot of research into e—cigarettes. there are so many out there, so many different types of vaping products. at the moment manufacturers get to what, say approve me? it is at the moment manufacturers get to what, say approve me?— what, say approve me? it is an interesting _ what, say approve me? it is an interesting shift. _ what, say approve me? it is an interesting shift. thousands i what, say approve me? it is an interesting shift. thousands of| interesting shift. thousands of vaping products available, only regulated by consumer regulation, there are no products available as medicine with medicinal approval. the mhra processes are tough to go through and we have not seen e—cigarettes manufacturers come forward to do that. they have reviewed the processes and are making them straightforward and announcing today they encourage manufacturers to come forward. i have doubts how many will do that because it will be complicated, but there are advantages to having consumer product e—cigarettes available on the market and the alternative of a prescription vaping product and that is what this announcement makes easier. it is 'ust for announcement makes easier. it is just for england — announcement makes easier. it is just for england at _ announcement makes easier. it is just for

true. though i _ just for england at the moment? trust is true, though i expect given the mhra can regulate devices across the uk, then the public health authorities would look in the devolved nations and it would probably apply across the country. the main advantages of prescription e—cigarettes are that if you ask smokers, around 30% have not tried vaping and the most common reason our concerns about safety and the same proportion think vaping is as dangerous as smoking, which is not true. a prescription product would give more reassurance. they are rigorous tests it would have to go through. the second is cost, because smoking is more common in disadvantaged group and they might be put off by the cost. so on prescription may be a better option there. ,, . ., prescription may be a

cigarette advertising in the uk. you can see it outdoors and at the point—of—sale but not in the media. that was to protect youth. companies are not allowed to use some descriptions that might attract children at the age of sail. smokers in my studies said an advantage of the flavouring is it is totally separate from smoking and does not remind them of smoking, it is another alternative. we have to balance protecting children while providing devices to adult smokers. the big bad tobacco industry is using this as a trojan horse because it does not want us to stop smoking? that is probably the question you have asked where there might be truth in that with big tobacco companies selling cigarettes in lower income countries and selling e—cigarettes in higher income countries so we have to question these companies but we should not assume that just these companies but we should not assume thatjust because the tobacco industry has done horrible things there is not a place for these products. i would there is not a place for these products. iwould prefer they there is not a place for these products. i would prefer they were made by independent companies which exist. we need

absolutely beautiful. good morning. this is the gaia art installation created by artist luke jerram, the same artist who created the moon you may have seen touring. this giant globe measures seven metres across, so approximately 2 million times smaller than the real earth and every centimetre on this globe measures around 20 kilometres on earth. the reason it was created and they wanted to host it at the church in norwich is because it is hoped it will foster conversations around climate change. because as people come to view it, it is hoped people come to view it, it is hoped people will get a new perspective on the planet, like when astronauts go into space and look at planet earth, you get a sense of the fragility of the planet. and this small atmosphere surrounding our precious blue marble spinning here. it is here in norwich are another couple of days until the 31st and then we'll move off on its tour. onto the weather forecast. we'll move off on its tour. onto the

draped north to south, bringing rain to start the day. it will be heaviest in parts of wales, north—west england, central and southern scotland. there could be another a0 millimetres falling on what we have seen, particularly in scotland. that rain will clear towards the east. by this afternoon sitting across the east of scotland and north—east england. brighter skies elsewhere with sunny spells and scattered showers around. temperatures between 12—16. into the evening and the rain clears away from north—east england and eastern scotland so a drier interlude but the next band of rain pushing

eastwards. more sunshine than we will see today. not as much rain. followed by showers moving in from the north—west. temperatures starting to come down. 10—1a for most on saturday. the unsettled theme sticks around into sunday. we have the next frontal system moving in from the west, bringing heavy rain for many, particularly england, wales, northern ireland, and drier perhaps in the northern half of scotland. that should move to leave more scattered showers. temperatures 10—1a on sunday. an unsettled picture over the next days. more wet weather around. picture over the next days. more wet

of those children adventure programmes. something sci—fi. when something extraordinary has glided into the church. it is beautiful. it's been a year of firsts for strictly come dancing — a same—sex male couple and the competition's first deaf contestant, rose ayling—ellis. over the weeks, rose has shared what it's like to dance as a deaf person, and how she works with her interpreter. she also incorporated sign language into her latest routine with partner giovanni. let's take a look. music: cuba by the gibson brothers. deaf people experience music differently. so, the way i do, i think i rely a lot on beat and counting. music: raspberry beret by prince. i have an interpreter with me so that i can understand what is going on all the time. even if you do not see them on the camera, they are there always. i think the response from the deaf community has been really positive. finally, they see someone like them on strictly. they are doing so well. and their performances seem to be having an impact. yesterday, giovanni tweeted: let's talk more about this with harriet oppenheimer from the royal national institute for deaf people. and mark smith, who's the founder of deaf men dancing, and ray williams, who's one of our sign—language interpreters. welcome. mark, what have you made of the performances on strictly so far? so many people have been fascinating and loving the

is facing major disruption this morning after torrential rain. two footbridges were also washed away by flood waters in southern scotland — with more downpours forecast today. aruna iyengar has this report. scotland was lashed with torrential rain, with multiple floods rain, with multiple flood and danger—to—life warnings across the country. here in dumfries and galloway, the river annan burst its banks. two footbridges were swept away — including this, the cuthbertson memorial bridge. in the whitesands area of dumfries, police warned people to stay away from the area after the river nith burst its banks. emergency services worked together, rescuing four people from flooded homes. in hawick in the scottish borders, the river teviot reached a peak of 2.9 metres before water started to recede. residents had been evacuated from homes, but there's some relief — they've now been told it's safe to go home. schools in the peebles area were closed as the river tweed burst its banks. this, a riverbank view in cumbria — a month's worth of rain fell on wednesday and into thursday. here in cockermouth, flood defences have been a lifeline, but residents are weary and want longer—term solutions. i think the government need to look seriously at climate change and try and work out ways that we can help people, support people and stop this kind of damage from happening in the future. yellow weather warnings are in place for today across cumbria, the scottish borders, wales and devon and cornwall. it means more rain, which could lead to travel disruption and flooded roads. damage to homes and businesses is still possible. these anxious times for people living low—lying areas. aruna iyengar, bbc news. let's get more now on the situation in cumbria. our reporter megan paterson

still be washed downstream, heavy rain forecast, but an improving picture. we say that cautiously for people in cumbria. we have nine flood warnings in place across the county. the environment agency telling people to remain vigilant, keep an eye on the flood warnings and the weather forecast. the rain that will fall now false saturated ground, and rivers like this that are already full. they continue to be a risk of flooding. we know already that a0 properties here in cumbria have had to deal with flood water, mainly of the county, a government and in cockermouth. —— in egremont. they know what this looks like —— what this river looks like when it is going to overtop. the advice of the next 2a, 36 hours is to proceed with caution, keep an eye on the water, don't go into floodwater, it is fast flowing and can be dangerous but also keep an eye on travel restrictions because, as you mentioned, a lot of disruption on the rail network. passengers are being advised not to travel any

uk and france over fishing rights shows no signs of easing this morning after the environment secretary told us "two can play at that game". referring to the seizure of a british trawler in normandy. the french ambassador to the uk has been summoned to the foreign office today. our political correspondent nick eardley can explain what's going on what people want to understand from this at home is that the row over fishing rights has been protracted and sometimes pretty tricky, but in the past it hasn't had a focal point, and in time or a specific action to focus on. has changed everything popular i think that is right and this is getting worse. to right and this is getting worse. tfr remind everyone this is about the post brexit fishing arrangement. they allow french boats to come into uk waters but there is a row over how many licences have been approved for those french boats, and the government in paris is furious that some of the licences have been rejected. the uk says the vast majority have been approved but there are some which don't qualify. the language around this is really ratcheting up over the last couple of days. last night we had europe's... sorry, france's europe is that saying that the uk only seem to understand the language of force. the french government is threatening to block british boats landing in french ports and to increase checks on goods going to

happening today is the french ambassador has been summoned to the foreign office to give an explanation of what the french government is doing. that doesn't normally happen. i have been speaking to a couple of people in the foreign office this morning who say there are no records of the french ambassador being summoned before, so we don't know if it's ever happened, quite frankly, in the past. that is a this row is developing and we willjust have to keep an eye on whether it gets worse over the next few days.— over the next few days. thank you very much. _ over the next few days. thank you very much, nick. _ more than 160 globalfigures have called on richer nations to share their surplus covid vaccines with less—developed countries. they say that unless action is taken at the g20 summit this weekend, hundreds of thousands of lives could be lost. the warning comes in a letter organised by former prime minister gordon brown. countries have over—ordered and are overstocked and are not getting the vaccines out quickly enough so a lot of vaccines could be wasted past their expiry date and we know that nobody is safe anywhere until everybody is vaccinated everywhere. i think that today you will pass this terrible figure — five million deaths already from covid — and what the world health organization is saying, that there will be another 5 million more deaths unless we act. e—cigarettes could soon be prescribed on the nhs in england to help people stop smoking. the medicines regulator is inviting manufacturers to submit products for approval. linda bauld, who is a professor of public health, said dispensing e—cigarettes by prescription would help to overcome barriers which currently stop some people from trying them. the main advantages of prescription e—cigarettes. briefly, naga, are... and the most common reason for that is concerns about safety. in fact, around the same proportion think that vaping is just as dangerous as smoking, which isn't true. so a prescription product would give more reassurance about that — these are rigorous tests it would have to go through — and then the second one is cost. because smoking is more common in disadvantaged groups and they may be put off by the cost of vaping, so on prescription may be a better option there. wales' first minister, mark drakeford, has warned he could introduce covid passes for hospitality — and bring back social distancing in offices — to combat record levels of infection. the country currently has the highest case rate in the uk. mr drakeford told breakfast something had to be done to bring down the levels. there are a wide range of further measures that we can take. we don't want to — we have managed to keep wales at alert level zero for many weeks now. but with the numbers as they are in the community, we have literally thousands of people every day falling ill with coronavirus. they can't be in work, they can't be out helping with the economy, and we have to do something to bring those numbers down. mark drakeford mark dra keford earlier. let's mark drakeford earlier. let's look at the weather. sarah is in a church in norwich with what is remarkable installation, i think is the technical phrase and it seems to have got a little darker. it was brighter earlier on, wasn't it? well, the sun is coming up now so more brightness coming through the window so it looks different as we head into the daytime but i am here at st peter mancroft church in norwich and let me introduce you to gaia. this is an art installation by lukejerram, the same height that created that moon, touring art installation, and it has been here at the church in norwich since the beginning of the month. it is healed so the 31st of october, a couple more days. there has already been 30,000 people through the doors here in st peter mancroft church, viewing this beautiful light installation and it is hoped it will continue to foster conversations around climate change with cop26 just two days away. it has been a very wet spell of weather over the past few days. a lot of rain that has caused all flooding across parts of scotland not that there is further rain on the cards today for some of us. these are also turning cooler, as well. the wettest of the weather this money will be across parts of wales, north—west england come into central and southern scotland. that band of ray will edge eastwards through the day, so things will dry up through the day, so things will dry up from the west but still a few showers following on from behind and it will be cooler in recent days with temperatures between 12 and 16 degrees for most. some sunshine around across parts of southern england into wales later in the day, northern ireland also having a drier day. through this evening and night the rain cleared from rugby statement and eastern scotland, so a drier interlude before the next batch of heavy and potentially thundery showers moves in from the west. it won't be a particularly cold night because of all the cloud and rain, so temperatures around five to 10 degrees to start your weekend. we are likely to start up saturday again with outbreaks of rain for many. it looks like this rain for many. it looks like this rain will move through quicker than the rain over recent days so clearing eastwards, to be followed by plenty of sunshine around. a bit cooler than recent days, around ten to ia cooler than recent days, around ten to 1a degrees cooler than recent days, around ten to 1a de-rees on cooler than recent days, around ten to 1a degrees cooler than recent days, around ten to 1a de-rees on saturday, cooler than recent days, around ten to 1a degrees cooler than recent days, around ten to 1a de-rees on saturday, but cooler than recent days, around ten to 1a degrees cooler than recent days, around ten to 1a de-rees on saturday, but at to 1a degrees on saturday, but at least it will be drier for many as we head through the day. the dry weather won't last too long, things are still looking unsettled into sunday. more rain around and then it looks like the weather is set to turn colder as we head on into next week. back to you

later- — it's been described as a "make—or—break" summit — an all—important meeting of the world's leaders in response to the global climate emergency. what are the ultimate aims of the cop26 conference, which gets underway in glasgow this weekend? firstly, the uk will push for countries to agree to net—zero emissions by 2050 — which means a drastic reduction in greenhouse gasses. it's also hoped leaders will make specific pledges on ending coal, switching to petrol vehicles and protecting nature. and developing countries want a significant aid package to help them adapt to rising temperatures. more than 120 leaders will attend the summit, but there are expected to be some notable absences — including chinese president xijinping and russian president vladimir putin. ahead of the climate conference, pope francis has urged leaders to take radical decisions that "offer hope to the world". let's get more on this story now from our rome correspondent, mark lowen. good to see you. pell has been talking on radio fourfor thought for the day. it is a strong intervention and a voice that so many people pay attention to. absolutely and it is an exquisite message through the bbc and something that is rare from this pope. he doesn't often give interviews or immediately periods is. he sometimes has spoken to the spanish—speaking media in the past but now an exquisite message to the bbc, to the programme thought for the date, in which he talked about the crises that weld is facing, from the crises that weld is facing, from the pandemic to the climate emergency, talking about how you will need to respond with radical decisions and not waste the opportunities that come out of these crises and he has issued a direct appeal to world leaders meeting in glasgow at the cop26 dummett, beginning on sunday. environmentalism very much at the height of his papacy —— felt that some it. he has edge them to seize this opportunity to change. we have heard from the pope often in the past about the need for a response to climate change and even though he will not be present physically in glasgow, the vatican will hope his intervention in this way will help spur leaders meeting in glasgow to reach an agreement there. translation: the political- decision-makers who will meet at cop26 in glasgow are urgently summoned to provide effective responses to the present ecological crisis, and in this way to offer concrete hope to future generations. and it is worth repeating that each of us — whoever and wherever we may be — can play our own part in changing our collective response to the unprecedented threat of climate change and the degradation of our common home. so, a key environmental message there from the leader of the world's 1.3 billion catholics and he will be busy politically today because he is meeting joe biden here at the vatican later today. america's second catholic president. they will talk about the issues they see it or ion, migration, climate change, the way out of the pandemic. there are also two men on the more liberal wings of the communities they represent, the catholic church and the usa. they are two men who have met before three times, the fourth meeting today, and an all—important meeting today, and an all—important meeting in the run—up to the glasgow summit. meeting in the run-up to the glasgow summit. a ~ meeting in the run-up to the glasgow summit. ~ ., ., ., summit. mark lowen in rome with that ”oreous summit. mark lowen in rome with that gorgeous backdrop. _ gorgeous backdrop. let's focus in one of those areas that could be discussed at length, rising sea levels let's look at the situation in miami in florida. real problems with flooding and businesses. our us correspondent, nomia iqbal, reports. this is a city where people come to enjoy the ocean — with their yachts, jet skis and homes right on the water. but the sea level is rising, making living conditions harder to adapt to, as the high life is built on low ground. there's more flooding, increased heat, intense storms, and the sea level is rising. miami sits on a bed of sponge—like limestone, making it one of the most vulnerable coastal cities in the world. in the next 30 years, it's projected that the sea will go up by 15 inches. if we stay on the trajectory that we're on, and we go out to the end of the century, you're looking at high—tide flooding here along, you know, near these buildings every single day for six hours a day at minimum. so, at that point, you know, if your housing is not built on stilts and you're not planning a life where your commute to the grocery store is based on that, or your commute to school is based on that, this property at the end of the century would be unliveable. despite that prediction, it isn't putting buyers off. check out this view. sea level isn't high on the list. it's warm weather, beaches and low taxes. i would say the real—estate market right now is absolutely booming. it's probably the craziest real—estate market we've ever had in the history of miami. people do talk about it — it comes up in conversations, especially for waterfront homes and waterfront condos. but, again, i think we're talking really, really long—term stuff down the road, and it's not going to impact people's decision to buy now. miami offers something that most citiesjust don't have, and everybody wants to be a part of it right now. even with the threat of climate change? even with the threat of climate change, yeah. buildings are still being developed on miami beach — even as the sea is getting closer. many have the money to adapt to it. others are relying on those at the top to make sure the city can cope. and one of those solutions is to pump the water back out to sea. whoa! how about that? we are the canary in the coal mine. clearly, we're ground zero for sea—level rise, and we have come up with a lot of innovative solutions, but we have so much to learn. and across the globe, we want to partner with other cities and communities to bring new technologies, new best practices, and also to help with public awareness. this is a perfect example of a recently built waterfront property. another solution is for the high life to get higher. many new homes are now less about location and more about elevation. first of all, it's elevated, so we're much higher because, see, like, other lots next door — they're much lower. then we have a brand—new seawall, and on both sides there are mangroves and it's a natural barrier against erosion. all of this is basicallyjust to make the home more resilient against sea—level rise. and if you're lucky, you may be able to catch some sealife in your back garden. an hour away from miami, the saltwater is intruding elsewhere. the everglades is the us�*s largest subtropical wilderness, and home to thousands of species who are under threat. this is the base of the food web. dr naja oversees huge restoration efforts, which could see the everglades becoming another solution to tackling sea—level rise. we noticed that, in florida, the level was rising. right? and in order to mitigate for this effect, the only way to do that is to restore the everglades, to bring additional freshwater. by adding this freshwater — freshwater is lighter than saltwater — so it will go on top of saltwater. and with the pressure, it will push back the salt water. so this everglades restoration is our part to mitigate for the effects of sea—level rise and climate change. if scientists are right, much of south florida will one day be lost forever to climate change. miami is trying to keep its head above water, but city officials heading to the un's climate change conference know that action being taken here will only make a difference if the world acts, too. nomia iqbal, bbc news, miami. let's move now from florida to california, where terminator star and former republican governor arnold schwarzenegger has some advice on why we need to act now against climate change. he has long campaigned is an important voice. many people listen to him, let's hear what he has to say. i think anything can be done. if you see it and believe it, then you can achieve it. it's that simple. the terminator might seem an unlikely environmental champion. his most iconic movie role was dedicated to eliminating humanity. i'll be back. and i will not let you down. his return to the public arena as a politician, serving as republican governor of california for eight years, was marked by tough environmental laws on exhaust fumes, growing wind and solar energy, and ambitious carbon reduction targets. he now runs the schwarzenegger climate initiative. we are the only place that really reduced greenhouse gases by 25% and brought it back to the 1990 level. what we are so happy about is that we are proving simultaneously that it is the best job creator when you go green. we are number one economically in the united states, with a gdp of $3.3 trillion. that, at the same time, makes us the fifth—largest economy in the world. at the same time while we have the strictest environmental laws. so it shows to you you can protect the environment and you can protect the economy at the same time. so all of those countries that come and give speeches — we are not going to go and lose jobs because of going green — they are liars. or they are just stupid and they don't know how to do it. because we figured it out, how to do it, they can figure it out, how to do it. and it's all about having the balls to do it. california's thriving economy is bigger than britain's, and some of that wealth is conspicuous. do you honestly believe that the world's population, the 8 billion people, can kind of live like californians, or do we have to be honest and say we will have to give up a bit? no, i don't think you have to give up. i think you just have to switch. look, what do you have to give up? if you go from... if i went from a 300 horsepower hummer that was diesel fuelled and now i go and build an electric engine in there. and now it is a80 horsepower and it's electric. what did i give up? i'm still driving my hummer. but he often swaps horsepower for leg power on the streets of santa monica, and wants to change the way we shop. buy local products. i mean, it is absurd, this kind of tonnage of stuff we are shipping back and forth and creating this unbelievable pollution. but wouldn't people say that is just global capitalism and, as a republican, that is something... you can have global capitalism, but you have to be smart about it. you can go and compete and all that stuff on a global level, but let's go and reduce pollution. because you can have the best capitalism, and global capitalism in the world, but if people are dead, they are dead. it's over. arnold still trains at the gym most days and he's happy to share his skills. exhale. no, i didn't say let go. 0k, slowly up, slowly up. spread your wings. but the question troubling many is how much heavy lifting world leaders will do at the upcoming climate summit in glasgow. people are saying it's a game—changer, make or break. i think that we have to go and button up and just really work together in order to really conquer this problem. i think we have conquered problems in the past. we have terminated problems in the past, i think that we can do it again. we all have to work together — that is the bottom line. and to take politics out and just say, "we've got to save the world." and we all have to work together. arnold schwarzenegger, i will shake on that. thank you very much indeed. thank you. i wonder if he, being the size he is, and having a reputation for being strong, big match open, i wonder if he is one of those big guys that gives really hard handshakes or if it is very gentle because he doesn't have to prove anything. because he doesn't have to prove an hina. ~ , ., because he doesn't

editor, justin rowlatt. the closer we get... good morning, by the way. the closer we get the more we hear of the stakes. we have been told the stakes couldn't be higher, people have got to move now, we were talking to gordon brown earlier, about vaccines and the g20. there is a sense of urgency now. there is a sense of urgency now. there certainly is. the problem is we know the physics of how greenhouse gases warm the atmosphere and when you put carbon dioxide in the atmosphere stays for a long time so it is like filling a limit after which we know the water will overflow, we will have real problems of climate change. there is a finite amount of carbon dioxide we can put in the atmosphere and that is the challenge, getting carbon dioxide emissions to begin introduced as soon as possible so we can meet the target, keep carbon dioxide emissions within a level at which we keep the temperature change around 1.5 celsius, which, the science says, will avoid the worst effects of climate change. that is why we always talk about the agency because there is a limit after which it is too late and we know that there will be more dangerous and catastrophic potentially climate change. iloathiie be more dangerous and catastrophic potentially climate change. while we are talkin: potentially climate change. while we are talking about _ potentially climate change. while we are

fuels. 8a%. we are seeing switch away from that. all the wealth that we enjoy as a modern civilisation is as a result of the ready energy provided by fossil fuels and we need to move away from that. we are in a good place in the sense that we now have renewable technologies, we know we can deliver at scale in the form of solar, renewable and nuclear power, that also delivers low carbon energy at scales so there are technologies that can help us move away from fossil fuels but it is really tricky. it is a big deal, they ask for countries particularly if they are industrialising now, to say, listen, don't use the easiest energy, we need to use different forms of energy. that is the real challenge, getting people to recognise it is worth their while making a few changes now in order to deliver benefits in the future that is always difficult. it is hard enough to agree between two or three people, where you are going to go out for an evening. you are getting every country in the world together and them to agree on something as fundamental as what they use in the future, it will be difficult to get people to agree. they will swallow. you did this and i did that, so that is the difficulty, there is a question of fairness. if britain started the industrial revolution, shouldn't we do more now? as i said, the atmosphere is indifferent to whom it is the carbon, it is just

you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm tarah welsh. stars such as lewis hamilton and fka twigs have supported a campaign for valarie's law. a petition to get better training for authorities working with black victims of domestic violence. it's named after valerie forde, who along with her little girl, was murdered by her ex—partner in 201a. they found that the police with her complaints of abuse poorly. valerie forde was murdered, having gone to the police station and reported domestic abuse, and it was put as a threat to property. valerie's law seeks to make it compulsory for police and any other agency that supports african and caribbean heritage women and girls...must take training to understand the culture and the specific needs of black women. the met said it was working with charities and other organisations to improve its knowledge of and response to reports of domestic violence from black women. anglian water says it will take at least two months to fix a blocked drain which caused sewage to flood onto the streets of southend last week. a number of beaches remain closed. the government said it is providing funding to help those on the streets in the winter months and those affected by drug and alcohol problems, but charities are urging ministers to come up with a long—term solution to homelessness. it needs to be as much about the system as the individual parts of it. we don't want to be setting up beds that have no drug treatment in, or beds that have got no health care in, or drug—treatment services that don't come with someone being housed on the same day. it has to happen together, or else it won't work. travel, there are problems on the metropolitan and northern lines and minor delays on tfl rail. good morning. it's another mild but largely cloudy start to the day. we do have a very slow—moving cold front and that's going to bring a spell of rain for a time this morning, but clearing into the afternoon. it's pushed through, the breeze still there, still noticeable, but the rain will gradually start to clear. still some showers, but drier through the afternoon with a bit more sunshine to end the day and temperatures again mild — we're looking at a maximum of 16 celsius. now overnight tonight, we are still at risk of maybe one or two showers — at least to start with. drier for a time with one or two clear spells, but the cloud increasing again as we head through to saturday morning and then some spells of rain into saturday itself. the minimum temperature — again, mild — nine or ten celsius. but today's cold front is going to introduce some slightly fresher air. now the weekend is quite unsettled — spells of rain. drier for saturday afternoon, then more spells of rain for sunday morning. still quite breezy over the weekend, and the temperature getting a little bit chillier. not especially cold but we're looking at a few degrees cooler over the weekend, and staying unsettled and chillier still into next week. i'm

treatment to relieve its symptoms can amount to hundreds of pounds a year. today, mps are due to vote on a bill that — if passed — would make hormone replacement therapy free in england. here's more from political correspondent helen catt. because i'm post—menopausal, so i have got a pill — progesterone and oestrogen. so that goes on on the top. i don't know what it is. it's got the most amazing glue, because it really does stick. adele martin went through the menopause just before she left a career in finance to run this pub in kent. from confidence to mood swings to brain fog, to where sometimes the people around me just weren't really sure what mood i was going to be in. i could be really, really tearful or really, really, really grumpy. and then, bizarrely, things like electric shocks, as well. but they were quite funny. yeah, my daughter didn't want to come near me, because she was scared. because every time i got out of the car, i seemed to create electric shocks. but overall, her experience was anything but funny. i felt like i just completely lost myself. and at the time, ijust didn't know what it was. sorry. it was menopause. and this is why i do what i do, because i just didn't want another woman...to look in the mirror and lose themselves like i did. i talk to women. it's taken me probably the last two years to really share my story. and the more i share my story, the more women share theirs. and it's just not fair. so it has sort of given me the courage to share my story. so if somebody else listens to what happened to me, then hopefully, they will ask for help. because i didn't know. she says hormone replacement therapy, hrt, stopped her hot flushes and helped her feel normal again. nine years later, she's still using it, paying £9.35 for each box. there does seem to be growing agreement in westminster that more needs to be done to help women navigate their way through the menopause — to help them find the right treatments for their symptoms. that could be through greater awareness, through more education for gps. but some want to see more help with the costs. the labour mp carolyn harris is trying to get mps to vote to make hrt free in england as it is in scotland, wales and northern ireland. we're talking about 51% of the population who are suffering this and need... they need the choices to make that decision if they want hrt. it's not for everyone, but it's also about everything else. it's notjust about the hrt. with millions of women in england eligible, the cost of making hrt free would be significant. and it's notjust menopausal women who have to pay for prescriptions. people with long—term health conditions have been campaigning for their medications to become free in england, too. for somebody, like parkinson's, that means that you could have eight or nine medications each month. so it's really expensive to live with a long—term condition like that. you can, however, buy a prepayment certificate. so for three months it costs just over £30. for 12 months it costs just over £108. but some people have told us, particularly those with long—term conditions, that actually it's quite a lot of money still to find. only a small proportion of menopausal women who could take hrt actually do. a flawed study in the early 2000s led to misleading publicity about the possible risks. it's still blamed for putting women off. in a statement, the government said it was deeply committed to ensuring women are able to access high—quality menopause treatment, including hormone replacement therapy. this is my design. adelle is herself off to parliament today, adding her voice to the calls for change. helen catt, bbc news, rochester. also heading to westminster today will be model penny lancaster, who's recently spoken about her struggles with the menopause, and journalist mariella frostrup, who has just published a book on the subject. they join us now. penny this has gathered momentum and it is

extinct almost. if there was a 50—year—old man in a company, the top of his game, looking to be promoted, and he had a health issue, a mental health issue, physically and mentally, like women suffer with menopause, they would find something to help him. there are hundreds of women. it is notjust a few women who have suffered from this, it is every single woman who will go through this. sadly, due to other health issues, younger women can have to go through hrt much earlier than your average woman. it really needs to be dealt with because physically and mentally it can be soul destroying.— soul

weather with sarah. she is at a church in norwich that is looking spectacular. it is, absolutely beautiful here. i am in st peter mancroft church in norwich. the art installation behind me is known as gaia, the greek goddess of the earth, sometimes referred to as mother earth. this installation was created by luke jerram. and with cop26 two days away it has never been so relevant. it is hosted here to foster conversations about climate change. as people come into view this magnificent globe, it is hoped they create a new perspective on the planet, like when astronauts go into space and look back on planet earth, they often describe the feeling of a renewed responsibility for looking after the planet and its thin atmosphere surrounding this. our mother earth and home. 30,000 people have been through the doors here and have described that emotional reaction to seeing this fantastic planet. we can seeing this fantastic planet. we can see a lot of cloud on the globe and there is a lot of cloud in the sky at the moment. it has been raining heavily the past days in north—west england, southern scotland, so we have had problems with flooding. more rain today and further spells of rain

some sunshine around in northern ireland in southern england. dry this afternoon. rain in eastern scotland and north—east england. temperatures between 12—16. the rain will clear the east coast this evening and overnight. a dry speu this evening and overnight. a dry spell but then the next band of rain pushing in in the early hours of saturday, so more wet weather in areas we do not need it. temperatures 5—10 overnight, so staying frost free. saturday, the rain pushes eastwards through the day and eventually things will brighten up. more sunshine and not as much rain. temperatures coming down a touch. a high of 10—14 on saturday. still a bit above average. through sunday and next week, it will be all change. still unsettled with more rain around and often blustery but you will notice the temperatures will be turning colder. thank you for the gorgeous location. he's the former soldier whose life—story became the subject of the bbc two film, danny boy. now brian wood is turning his
