rather than the roads. yorkshire are investigating a new racism allegation — this time from a former academy cricketer. it comes after their new chairman said azeem rafiq should be praised for being a whistleblower on discrimination. this is poppies, an artwork that captured the nation back in 2014. i'll start to the day and a mild day generally. we have cloud and rain moving across england and wales and wales and showers in scotland and northern ireland with sunshine in between and wherever you are, it will be breezy. good morning. a man who was injured caving in the brecon beacons has been rescued after being trapped underground for two days. he is said to be in good spirits after 250 worked in shifts to bring him to safety. 0ur correspondence sent this report. mission accomplished. after more than two days of painstaking, exhausting work, relief all round. together, these volunteers carried the casualty through an underground assault course of boulders, streams and ledges, the longest stretcher carry ever by a british cave rescue team. it is absolutely amazing. the cooperation, the professionalism. everybody dealt with it. the controllers, down to the grunts at the sharp end, it was just amazing. it's the biggest rescue any of us have done, i hope we will ever do. the casualty is an experienced caver in his 405. on saturday, he fell and suffered multiple injuries, but could talk to his rescuers throughout. when you consider how long he has been in the cave, how long he has been on the stretcher, he is doing very well indeed. so he's been talking to the medics along the way and they have been having a conversation, but we are waiting for them to come out, now. this is what draws enthusiasts here. a sculpted subterranean world, in places almost 300 metres deep. it attracts cavers from across the uk. after 50 hours underground and the efforts of 250 volunteers, the casualty is now safe and on their way to hospital. bringing this rescue operation to a successful conclusion. for the volunteers, days of endeavour and years of training have tonight brought their reward. a 10—year—old boy has died after being attacked by a dog in south wales. the incident occurred at a house in caerphilly at around four o'clock yesterday afternoon. 0ur reporter tomos morgan is there for us this morning . what more can you tell us? we know the emergency services, police and ambulance, were called about 3:55pm yesterday. when the welsh ambulance service arrived at the scene, a ten—year—old boy had already died. it is believed he died after being attacked by a dog. the dog was destroyed. there is still a police presence here. yesterday evening, this road was cordoned off. the court and only came down in the early hours, as police continue investigations, trying to decipher what happened. we understand from a neighbour, they told the bbc they believe the incident happened in one of the homes on the street but that is not confirmed. police carrying on with investigations, trying to find out what happened here yesterday on the outskirts of caerphilly. the prime minister has refused to apologise over attempts to change the rules on how mps' standard of conduct should be in force. mr johnson was not at the debate with labour accusing him of running scared. adam fleming, there was anger across the house yesterday. 50 adam fleming, there was anger across the house yesterday.— the house yesterday. so many divisions on _ the house yesterday. so many divisions on display _ the house yesterday. so many divisions on display yesterday | the house yesterday. so many l divisions on display yesterday as mps discussed this. you have the opposition versus the government, the government represented by stephen barclay, the cabinet office minister. you had a former government chief whip, mark harper, saying the prime minister should apologise. then you had conservative mps elected at the last election being quite critical of longer serving conservative mps for being too sympathetic towards 0wen paterson, the mp about whom this was about. in the standards committee, mps who look at these cases, there were divisions about whether the committee operates correctly. it was like one of those windscreens that gets smashed and does not break but there are cracks all over it. the issue will not go away. because the standards committee would like there to be a vote on the 0wen paterson case. even though he has resigned as an mp and gone from the house of commons, they think there needs to be a rubber—stamping of the report. that committee is working on a code of conduct for mps in future, which is probably going to be published before the end of the year and i think that will cause another one of these debates about what are the rules around mps, are they allowed second jobs and how did they get punished? if they are found to have broken the rules. climate change is a far bigger problem than coronavirus potentially, the warning from the government's chief scientific adviser. sir sir patrick vallance said combating global warming will require technology and changes in behaviour. coronavirus has been devastating and effective people across the globe but it will settle down and it will go back to being a seasonal disease most likely. this is something that is getting worse over a long period. and without concerted, long—term action, it will continue to get worse. water companies are warned they will face consequences if they do not reduce the flow of sewage released into rivers. it comes after mps voted to accept a government amendment for tougher restrictions on the practice. it is hoped to end a row between the commons and lords on the issue but some say the new rules do not go far enough. poland has sent an extra 12,000 troops to its eastern border with belarus, in an attempt to stop migrants entering the country. video footage shows hundreds of people near a barbed—wire fence, with some attempting to force their way through. the polish government has accused belarus of trying to provoke a major confrontation by encouraging people to cross the border. rolls—royce has secured the funding it needs to push forward with a project to develop new small nuclear power plants. the investment will allow the engineering firm to work on designs for the reactors, which it hopes will be supplying low carbon energy to millions of homes by the end of the decade. critics say the focus should be on renewables — but the company insists nuclear has a part to play, too. jewellery that belonged to marie antoinette is up for auction in geneva and it is estimated the diamonds will sell for around £1.5 million. they are among rare and historically significant pieces on offer. a pair of bracelets containing 112 diamonds. they once graced the arm of marie antoinette. when the revolution began, france's last queen managed to save herjewels, smuggling them out with her daughter. she couldn't save herself. tonight, more than two centuries after her death, the bracelets will go to the highest bidder, blue—blooded or commoner. but for how much? pricewise, i don't think you can put a price on history. how much is someone willing to pay for something from the last queen of france. it's a piece of french history that has remained within those families for more than 200 years. and again, that is exceptionally rare to find, and especiallyjewels of such great quality. there's more royaljewellery — a huge sapphire and diamond brooch with matching earrings once owned by grand duchess maria pavlovna, the aunt of russia's last tsar. these jewels were smuggled out of bolshevik st petersburg, hidden in a newspaper. the duchess died in exile in france. and, finally, there's a rainbow of rare modern diamonds — pink, orange and yellow. but the stars of this week's auctions are undoubtedly the historicjewels, with their message, perhaps, that while diamonds are for ever, those who wear them, however grand, are not. diamond is not necessarily always your best friend. if you had 1.5 million, would you wear them? yes, all the time, every day. people who wear expensive watches. i do not have any expensive watches. is that because you would lose them. is that because you would lose them. i would take the watch off or lose it or drop it. i really like the idea that you wear your best stuff, your best dress, watch, whatever you can. if you had marie antoinette's jewellery. what is that? it belonged to the last french queen, i will have you know. sounds like 0nly have you know. sounds like only fools and horses! marie antoinette's jewellery, get your jewellery marie antoinette's jewellery, get yourjewellery here, £5! i am sorry. good morning, lovely to see you. good morning, lovely to see you. good morning. this morning is a mild start, milderthan good morning. this morning is a mild start, milder than yesterday. today and the next days, it will remain so. we have light wind, and the exception is in the far north of scotland and northern and western isles with gusts up to 50 mph into tomorrow and by the end of the week, a chance some of us could have strong winds, even gales. this morning fog in parts of the south—east. a weather front across southern scotland, northern england and wales. heading south with the rain. hill fog with that and a second weather front will bring showers. behind it, sunshine. showers across the north and west where we have gusty wind. and in the far south, staying dry until later. you can see how the cloud move south ahead of the weather front. temperatures ranging from 10—15, 16. 0vernight, we have the weather front producing rain in parts of england and wales. some fog in the hills associated with this. it sinks south and behind it showers continue. some clear skies in the north. in some sheltered glens in the north—east of scotland, temperature is low enough for frost. scotland, temperature is low enough forfrost. temperatures scotland, temperature is low enough for frost. temperatures closer to freezing and these temperatures represent what you can expect in towns and cities. in england and wales, temperatures holding up overnight. a mild start for england and wales. the weather front will weaken. producing cloud and spots of rain and behind it sunshine and showers. at times, cloud as well. gusty winds across the northern and western isles and far north scotland. by the end of the day, we will see a new weather front. that will see a new weather front. that will rain. temperatures tomorrow, nine in the north, about 15 in the south. millions of people in afghanistan are facing starvation this millions of people in afghanistan are facing starvation this winter millions of people in afghanistan are facing starvation this winter in what the un says is fast becoming the world's worst humanitarian crisis. the head of the world food programme said country risks turning into hell on earth following drought and the withdrawal of un troops. john simpson sent this report. winter's coming, and it looks like being a bad one. the camels are on the move to warmer areas. we're heading west out of kabul through the taliban roadblocks. it's not long before we reach the snow. injalrez district, food aid is being distributed, flour to make bread. everyone here knows that things are likely to get really bad in a few weeks. "there's a real possibility we'll be frozen this winter," this man tells me. these people are so poor, they can't afford to buy food orfuel for heating. a humanitarian disaster could bring the taliban down. so they're cooperating with the international aid agencies, even if they don't like them. the head of the world food programme visiting kabul doesn't mince his words. the winter months are coming. we're coming out of a drought. the next six months are going to be catastrophic. it is going to be hell on earth. we reach bamiyan, an agricultural centre which has been hit by drought, like many other parts of afghanistan. and of course, there was an infamous taliban crime here. a couple of hundred yards along the cliff from the place where the statues of the buddhas used to stand — until the taliban destroyed them — a woman called fatuma lives. she's a widow, raising her seven friendly, intelligent children on her own. before the taliban took over, she got by with occasional food aid and the money she and her eldest boy earned from weeding the fields and herding sheep. but the drought has put an end to all that, and food aid doesn't reach here. within weeks, they could all be starving. some women sell their daughters for marriage, i say. would she? "if it was absolutely necessary to keep everyone alive," she answers. but she'd hate it. listening to all this, it was hard not to think of your own family. imagine if this was your little girl or your little boy or your grandchild about to starve to death. you would do everything you possibly could. and when there's $400 trillion worth of wealth on the earth today, shame on us if we let any child die from hunger. fatima's children leave for school — those who are allowed to go. like millions in this country, their lives are under real threat. the next few months will decide. john simpson, bbc news, bamiyan. we will be speaking tojohn simpson later on the programme. let's take a look at today's papers. many of them leading on the fallout of the attempted overhaul on standards rules for mp5. the times' headline describes "anger as pm skips sleaze showdown" — referring to him missing a commons debate. the paper also says tory mps are calling on him to apologise. "just say sorry for the mess, prime minister" says the daily express on its front page. the paper says there's been "fury from the opposition and deep misgivings from many on his own side". the guardian carries this picture of sistersjill and louise who were reunited in new york after spending two years apart. the first double—jabbed foreign travellers arrived at us airports yesterday, after a 20—month covid—19 travel ban was lifted. that photo is brilliant. and one of the most read stories on the bbc website. the best time to get some sleep. researchers say the optimal bedtime is between 10pm and 11pm and if you go to sleep at that time it reduces your risk of heart attacks and strokes. going to bed too early, too late. i do go to bed between ten and 11. but you get up at three. i am causing issues at the other end of the day. astronauts can get saucy when they reach mars as the red planet's soil can grow tomatoes. tomato sauce. sorry about that. they can cultivate a crop in a bio dome with simulated atmosphere from the planet including its dusty soil. if we get to mars, you can have some tomato ketchup. you could take some with you. and nice picture. in the mirror newspaper, does your dog watch television? she quite likes rugby. not the answer i expected. look at this. a television channeljust for dogs. maybe if you have to leave your dog at home, you put the dog tally on. this is a great excuse. if you have a picture of your dog watching breakfast, send them through. i love these. apparently not going down too well with the dogs. i thought dogs could not see television. i have something to ask you here. a high—level question in the sun newspaper. how is dan still in the tv show? do you know what? tell me. when i watch strictly at home, i always think the test is do i want to see that couple dance next week? i have always said from the start, you have got to enjoy it and remember it is a privilege to be on the programme, you have got to work hard and improve every week and the best way to answer that. i had a chat with cecil in the park when i walked the dog on sunday and he came up. he had a chat and said do you mind if! up. he had a chat and said do you mind if i have a chat? i said far away. his wife, she died 30 odd years ago. they used to dance together. he said he stopped dancing when his wife died. he said he had watch strictly this year for the first time in a long time and he said watching you, the enjoyment you get from dancing, he goes, i have loved watching that so much. he has gone back and started having lessons again. that is what the programme is all about. can you as somebody who has never danced before bring the m has never danced before bring the joy that i have never understood comes from dancing until i started going on this programme. cecil, you said? may be cecil and lots of people like him are people who are voting. i do not know if cecil is voting, but whatever happens... it is a gorgeous thing. good morning, cecil. tens of thousands of ceramic poppies displayed at the tower of london have been given a permanent home. the original exhibition drew millions as part of the world war i centenary commemorations. 0ur reporter is by the poppies. this is poppies, part of the original artwork back in 2014. it really captured the nation back then when it marked the centenary of world war i. today it is in a permanent place, part of the artwork at imperial war museum north. almost 13,000 ceramic poppies now in their permanent place. the wave and weeping window together in a new display at imperial war museum. these were among nearly 900,000 poppies that made up the blood swept lands and seas of red installation at the tower of london in 2014. each poppy representing a life lost among the british and colonial forces on the front line of world war i. poppies are something we naturally associate with conflict, and that has its roots in the first world war. and we think of that conflict as one of devastation and destruction. but poppies were actually one of the few sources of brightness and colour in these devastated landscapes on the western front. more than five million people visited the original artwork marking the centenary of the war. the sections were exhibited around the country, including at st george's hall in liverpool and the silk mill in derby. the wave and the weeping window were bought for the nation in 2015 and donated to imperial war museum's permanent collection three years later. from the beginning to now, it's always needed to be, for me, a beautiful sight to see. and then you dive into it with the story behind it of the death and the destruction and people's sacrifice, what they fought for, and we still do. today, the sections are combined in a new design. poppies will open to the public tomorrow. just look at this, 30 metres high. it is bigger in terms of height, in terms of the installation that was at the tower of london. at many locations around the country, also, for many years. i am joined by the designer who helped to realise the vision of the artist. tom piper. you first saw this finished piece of work when you

j your impression? i am really proud. it has been a huge team effort from the whole team who have been welding away two months to create it. over 10,000 poppies and beautiful to have it in a permanent installation, integrated into the building. the vision that the artist had was very dramatic. it was very new, never been done before. how did you help him realise that vision? i was him realise that

realise that vision? nw; brought on—board originally by the tower of london to help create it on the ground. i came up with the additional metaphors of the poppies behaving like blood flowing out of the building, so the one that poured out of the window and went under the bridges. and because it was a huge undertaking trying to install it. we thought we would do it in three weeks but realised it was such a big problem logistically to make that many poppies and plant them so it became a three month long installation where the public got so involved with 20,000 volunteers who planted it. we finished it on the 10th of november and it had one day and then we took it apart. everybody bought them and thousands of people across the world have a poppy. it lives on through them and also this

represents an individual person and i found to the poppy. it represents an individual person and ifound it moving around the country, with the installation, working with volunteers and hearing their stories of loss in the first world war and subsequent conflicts, and for me it has been a powerful installation that highlights the traumatic loss of life in war and in a way it should be telling us

at the tower of london. so beautiful. time now to get the news where you are. good morning. i'm asad ahmad. ambulances at a hospital in hertfordshire are having to sometimes wait up to five hours to hand over patients to an a&e department. and while they're at the lister hospital in stevenage, they could be in a queue of almost a dozen ambulances waiting to do the same. east and north hertfordshire nhs trust accepts the situation is "extremely seriously". but they say they believe they "do better than many other places". after the recent shortage of hgv drivers, there's a warning of a shortage of security and other staff working in london's night—time economy. as demand for security staff has increased at covid testing sites and shopping centres, there aren't the staff to fill all the vacancies left behind, which means some venues might have to reduce their hours or close altogether. over the last 19 months, you know, of closure, particularly for the businesses that predominantly use security, many of those people have had to find work elsewhere. on top of that you've got brexit and you've also got the requirement in the public realm for more security. a bus company has started offering free travel passes to the homeless. reading buses has teamed—up with the homeless prevention charity, launchpad, to help people make essentialjourneys. the company already offers discounted travel to people withjob centre plus cards, who actively looking for work. a look at the travel situation now. now the weather with kate. good morning. it is a misty start but a very mild one. temperatures overnight and stayed in double figures. we do have a cold front bearing towards us. that will bring more cloud. ahead of it we are hanging onto this mild air. we got a few bites bells when the mist and fog lifts. we will still soy season bright and sunny spells. clouds thickening towards the end of the afternoon as heads south. maximum temperatures 16 celsius. very mild. 0vernight that cold front really takes its time. it is gradually going to increase the cloud. some spots of rain potentially as we head into wednesday. the minimum temperature between nine and 11 celsius. another mild night. that cold front stalls and stays with us through tomorrow. patchy rain. there is to remaining cloudy. you will notice that area of low pressure coming in from the west, heading towards us towards the end of the week. that turns the weather more unsettled on friday. the temperature stay mild but gradually getting a little bit chillier as we had through the weekend. i'm back in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with sally nugent and dan walker. coming up on breakfast this morning. his most gruelling challenge yet — we catch up with rugby star kevin sinfield as he prepares to run 101 miles in one day. safe at last — we'll speak to some of those involved in that remarkable two day cave rescue in the brecon beacons. and a life in lyrics — comedian rob brydonjoins us to discuss his musicaljourney from wales to the west end. over the past month, we've showed you some incredible and frankly unpleasant pictures of sewage being discharged into rivers and coastlines in england. it's an issue which has caused a huge public outcry, and mps have now voted in favour of a government compromise to place a legal duty on water companies to reduce the flow of waste into waterways. but do the new proposals go far enough? let's put that question to campaigner hudo tagholm from surfers against sewage. good morning to you. give us an idea of

under the spotlight and a huge new online survey opens today run by the independent commissioner —— the independent commissioner —— the independent commissioner —— the independent commission into quality, a new body calling for people from elite levels of support to grass roots, to go online and share their experiences of discrimination and abuse in the sport. good morning. a former yorkshire county cricket club academy player says he was racially abused by a member of staff, in the latest allegation of racism against the club. yorkshire say they will investigate. this comes after the new chairman apologised to former captain azeem rafiq after his experiences of racism at yorkshire. lord patel said the club's investigation into mr rafiq's allegations, after which no one was disciplined, had been badly handled. we need to learn from our mistakes and ensure the right people are in place and ensure we do better. not only in terms of the root issues of racism or discrimination, but also how, as a club, we deal with any issues that arise going forward. newcastle's wait for a new manager is finally over. many people expected eddie howe to take the job at stjames' park, and now it's been confirmed. the former bournemouth boss replaces steve bruce, who was sacked shortly after the saudi arabian backed takeover of the club was completed. amanda staveley described eddie howe as a passionate coach. here's what some newcastle fans think of the appointment. i think it'll be tricky. but even if we do go down to the championship, i think he's got what it takes to get us back up. so, yeah, ithink he'll do a good job. he's an attacking manager, so hopefully he'll shore up the defence a bit and we'll see some good football at st james'. he's got experience. i think that's what you need right now, because you don't want to bring someone in who hasn't had a relegation battle before. he's got to do a lot better than his predecessor was. i think he's an intelligent man. i think that's what you need as a modern manager. - arsenal's emile smith rowe has been called up to the senior england men s squad for the first time. smith rowe was due to join the under 21s, but was upgraded to the senior squad for the world cup qualifiers against albania and san marino. marcus rashford, james ward prowse, mason mount and luke shaw have pulled out with injury and illness. you may have seen the row in modern pentathlon, with the governing body deciding to remove the horse riding discipline and replace it with another sport for 2028. it is, in part, a reaction to events at the tokyo games, when one horse was struck by a coach for refusing to compete. there's been strong opposition from pentathletes, who want to preserve their sport. team gb�*s

are a handful of offers from gb railfreight, a handful of around 1000 members of staff. they tentacles stretch around the uk. they are the third biggest rail freight company in the country. they take containers from across the continent, deliver them to different parts of the country, where they are then taken to supermarket shelves, into our homes. we don't even know whether in these containers that have just arrived with a cup of could be anything from christmas decorations to jumpers, could be anything from christmas decorations tojumpers, car could be anything from christmas decorations to jumpers, car parts and chemicals. they are faster and go further than hgv lorries. that is why they are being asked to step up to help with the hgv driver crisis. extra services are being laid on to guarantee more than 4.5 million bottles of wine in time for christmas. that is to mitigate the problems around the hgv driver shortage. tesco is looking towards this as a solution. they are planning to increase the number of containers on rail freight every yearfrom 65,000 containers on rail freight every year from 65,000 annually, containers on rail freight every yearfrom 65,000 annually, to 90,000 by the end of this year. they say that will save tens of millions of road miles every year. now each train, it's millions of road miles every year. now each train, its estimated, takes 60 hgv lorries off the road, therefore a meeting and a third of therefore a meeting and a third of the emissions of air travel and around a third of the emissions of road travel. really good for the environment. but at the moment around £30 billion worth of goods, and freight trains every year. about and freight trains every year. about a 10th of the goods that ended up in our shops. massive

northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england as well. but for the rest of us it's very cloudy but dry. patchy fog in the south—east. in the north we are looking at areas of cloud, but still some sunny skies coming through. that is called a star to the day as it was yesterday. northern ireland you will see the weather front bringing the rain. continuing across southern scotland, northern

could be quite sharp. behind them we are looking at sunshine. these are the temperatures. ten to 16 degrees. light winds. just a breeze, apart from the north of scotland where we have the gusty winds. they will be with us again tonight. clear skies in the north—east. temperatures will fall away. the weather front slips south. rain and hill fog associated with this. in england and wales in

started tomorrow with some sunshine. showers packing in on the breeze. you can see too we have a weak weather front south, producing all this cloud and some patchy rain. temperatures from nine in the north to 15 in the south. gusty winds in the northern and western isles, and the far north of scotland. another weatherford waiting in the wings is good to be coming our way during the course of

patients to an a&e department. and while they're at the lister hospital in stevenage, they could be in a queue of almost a dozen ambulances waiting to do the same. east and north hertfordshire nhs trust accepts the situation is "extremely seriously". is "extremely serious". but they say they believe they "do better than many other places". after the recent shortage of hgv drivers, there's a warning of a similar shortage of security and other staff working in london's night—time economy. as demand for security staff has increased at covid testing sites and shopping centres, there aren't the staff to fill all the vacancies left behind, which means some venues might have to reduce their hours or close altogether. over the last 19 months, you know, of closure, particularly for the businesses that predominantly use security, many of those people have had to find work elsewhere. on top of that you've got brexit and you've also got the requirement in the public realm for more security. a bus company has started offering free travel passes to the homeless. all those wanting to get to job interviews who are at risk of losing their homes. reading buses has teamed—up with the homeless prevention charity, launchpad, to help people make essentialjourneys. the company already offers discounted travel to people withjob centre plus cards, who actively looking for work. a look at the travel situation now. a good service on all lines. and if you want to know the situation arose in railways, tune into your local bbc radio station. now the weather with kate. good morning. it is a misty start but a very mild one. temperatures overnight and stayed in double figures. we do have a cold front bearing towards us. that will bring more cloud. ahead of it we are hanging onto this mild air. we got a few bright spells when the mist and fog lifts. we will still see some bright and sunny spells. cloud thickening towards the end of the afternoon as it heads south. maximum temperatures 16 celsius. very mild. overnight that cold front really takes its time. it is gradually going to increase the cloud. some spots of rain potentially as we head into wednesday. the minimum temperature between nine and 11 celsius. another mild night. that cold front stalls and stays with us through tomorrow. patchy rain. thursday remaining cloudy. you will notice that area of low pressure coming in from the west, heading towards us towards the end of the week. that turns the weather more unsettled on friday. the temperature stays mild but gradually getting a little bit chillier as we had through the weekend. i'm back in half an hour. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today. get vaccinated or risk losing yourjob — front line nhs workers in england will today be told they will have to get double jabbed by the spring. rescued after two days trapped underground — an injured caver is brought to safety. he's said to be in good spirits. just amazing. it is the biggest rescue any of us have done. i hope we will ever do. a ten—year—old boy dies after he was attacked by a dog in south wales. yorkshire are investigating a racism allegation this time from a former academy cricketer. it comes after their new chairman said azeem rafiq should be praised for being a whistleblower on discrimination. rain crossing england and wales. showers across england and northern ireland. in between sunshine but light winds. all the details later. it's tuesday, 9th of november. some breaking news this morning. front—line nhs staff in england will be required to be fully vaccinated with the government is expected to make the announcement later today. a deadline will be set for next spring to give time for workers to have both doses. our health editor hugh pym reports. compulsory vaccination against covid for staff in adult social care is already being implemented in england. there's a deadline later this week for care workers to comply, apart from those deemed to be exempt. it's understood that, later today, the government will announce that the policy will be extended to staff in patient—facing roles in the nhs in england. they'll be required as a condition of deployment in those posts to be double—jabbed by next spring, unless there are medical reasons for exemption. the deadline has been set to allow for the gap between first and second doses. around 90% of nhs staff in england have already been vaccinated against covid. the health secretary, sajid javid, said last month that he was leaning towards compulsoryjabs for nhs staff and the main issue was patient safety. health leaders say they see the benefits of the policy, though some have expressed reservations, arguing that there is a risk some staff might quit at a time of concerns about staffing gaps. the health union unison has argued that the key to convincing hesitant staff should be persuasion, not force. decisions on the issue are devolved and it's possible that the other uk nations will take a different route to england. a man who was injured caving in the brecon beacons has been rescued after being trapped underground for two days. he is said to be in good spirits after 250 people worked in shifts to bring him to safety. our correspondent sent this report. mission accomplished. after more than two days of painstaking, exhausting work, relief all round. together, these volunteers carried the casualty through an underground assault course of boulders, streams and ledges, the longest stretcher carry ever by a british cave rescue team. it is absolutely amazing. the cooperation, the professionalism. everybody dealt with it. the controllers, down to the grunts on the sharp end, it was just amazing. it's the biggest rescue any of us have done, i hope will ever do. the casualty is an experienced caver in his 405. on saturday, he fell and suffered multiple injuries, but could talk to his rescuers throughout. when you consider how long he has been in the cave, how long he has been in the stretcher, he is doing very well indeed. so he's been talking to the medics along the way and they have been having a conversation, but we are waiting for them to come out, now. this is what draws enthusiasts here. a sculpted subterranean world, in places almost 300 metres deep. it attracts cavers from across the uk. after 50 hours underground and the efforts of 250 volunteers, the casualty is now safe and on their way to hospital. bringing this rescue operation to a successful conclusion. for the volunteers, days of endeavour and years of training have tonight brought their reward. a 10—year—old boy has died after being attacked by a dog in south wales. the incident occurred at a house in caerphilly at around four o'clock yesterday afternoon. our reporter tomos morgan is there for us this morning. what more can you tell us? there has been a police — what more can you tell us? there has been a police presence _ what more can you tell us? there has been a police presence this _ what more can you tell us? there has been a police presence this morning. | been a police presence this morning. you might be able to see in the distance police officers outside the house where the boy lived. they have been coming in and out as the investigation continues trying to establish what happened yesterday afternoon. let me tell you what happened in terms of the timeline. the emergency services were called around 3:55pm but the welsh ambulance service pronounced the ten—year—old dead at the scene, when they arrived. the dog was also then destroyed and an investigation was carried out by forensic teams. many units from gwent police trying to work out how this took place. a neighbour told the bbc they believe the incident took place inside the house, but that is not confirmed. we expect an update from gwent police at some stage this morning so hopefully we will get that before the end of the programme today. the prime minister has refused to apologise over the government's attempt to change the rules governing how mps standards of conduct should be enforced. mrjohnson wasn't at an emergency debate about the subject yesterday — with labour accusing him of �*running scared'. no 10 said it was due to a "long—standing commitment" to visit a hospital. we can speak to adam fleming. it got fruity in the house on this issue. there were divisions all over the place with the opposition accusing the government of corruption and a conservative former chief whip saying the prime minister should be there and apologising. you had conservative mps elected in 2019 accusing longer serving colleagues of being too sympathetic towards owen paterson and also of being a bit patronising to the younger generation. even on the standards committee of mps who decide on these cases, you had disagreements among conservative members of the committee about what should happen to that committee. there were cracks appearing in the conservative party as a result of this. in terms of what happens next, i think it will die down, not least because parliament is going on a breakfor half term. i think what will happen next is the standards committee is working on a new code of conduct across a range of areas, which they were doing in advance of this. they hope that will be published before the end of the year and i think that will spark a debate about this, the process, do you have an appeals process, do you have an appeals process for mps found to have broken the rules? new guidelines about mps doing otherjobs while sitting in parliament? and as we saw yesterday, when parliament debates those topics, it gets quite heated. brute topics, it gets quite heated. we have dominic raab coming up at 7:30am. drake has spoken for the first time since eight people died at a festival in texas. he said... drake was a surprise performer at the event and is being sued along with tavish scott over the deadly crash. water companies have been warned they will face "consequences" if they don't reduce the flow of raw sewage being released into england's rivers. it comes after mps voted to accept a government amendment imposing tougher restrictions on the practice. ministers hope it will end a row between the commons and the lords over the issue. but some campaigners say the new rules don't go far enough diamonds that belong to marie antoinette are up for auction in geneva and estimated to sell for around £1.5 million. they are among rare and historically significant stones on offer. they look pretty snazzy. that is one way to describe them. pretty gorgeous. you said you would wear them if you got hold of them. you would need to be careful. i cannot have precious things like that. if you have nice things, why lock them away? you would wear them. because they are worth far too much money. it is theoretical. i do not think we will have the diamonds. we were talking about working hours. there is new research suggesting if you go to bed at 11pm and have seven hours of sleep, it is good for heart health. how do you think we are doing? the fact i fell asleep standing up yesterday... it is a good indication i am not getting enough. and while carroll is talking you can have a snooze. during the weather, never. good morning. forsome during the weather, never. good morning. for some a beautiful start. looking at lovely sunrises as we have just seen in looking at lovely sunrises as we havejust seen in north looking at lovely sunrises as

across scotland and northern ireland. between, cloud and sunshine. and light wind with the exception of gusty wind up to 50 mph in the far north of scotland and northern and western isles. temperatures 10—15. as we head over night, the weather front continues to push across england and wales. taking rain with it, hill fog. behind it, clear skies. particularly in the north—east of scotland. in sheltered glens here, temperatures will be low enough for frost. further south, glens here, temperatures will be low enough forfrost. further south, a mild night in england and wales. northern ireland not doing too badly. tomorrow, the same weather front across england and wales producing cloud and rain fragmenting. behind it, showers in northern england and showers getting in across northern and western scotland. some on the coastline of northern ireland. some sunshine and these are the temperatures, 10—15. a light breeze except in the far north. there will be gusts up to

relief when a man was pulled to safety from a cave in the brecon beacons. the caver is said to be in good spirits, despite his multiple injuries. we can speak now to two people involved in the rescue

stay in place 10,000 years and one day will move. that is the way it goes. when we got to him, it was a case of assessing how he was, working out what we would need, logistics of equipment, what has got to come in and where from. what we need with medical supplies. we had team doctors. everyone was allocated jobs and the operation to move him took place, which initially was slow. after 15 hours, he was into a bigger passage and so it became easier. then it was a case of moving him. then it was a case of moving him. the caves are natural things, they have no foot paths. it is in its natural

nothing that surprised us. we knew how to deal with every problem, it was just the time taken to deal with it. we had a fantastic team with it. we had a fantastic team with cave rescue teams from around the country and everybody responded. it is a voluntary operation, no one is paid. everybody is here because they want to do their best and they did their best. the cooperation and standard to

i did not realise people would be lying on the ground having the stretcher passed over them. and the latest is that the gentleman, no information about who he is, but i understand he is in good spirits. more now on the breaking news. the government is set to require all front line nhs staff in england to be fully vaccinated by spring next year. sarah jarvis and sarahjarvis and chris hopson

northern ireland have not made an announcement. dorset, you have 95% staff vaccinated. in bedford and luton and dunstable, only 80% of staff vaccinated. over the winter that means more risk to patients in deprived areas. we saw studies showing people of south asian origin have a gene that makes them more vulnerable to covid infection, but you also have greater risk of large numbers of staff

we might put to dominic raab in the next minutes. now the news where you are. good morning. i'm asad ahmad. ambulances at a hospital in hertfordshire are having to sometimes wait up to five hours to hand over patients to an a&e department. and while they're at the lister hospital in stevenage, they could be in a queue of almost a dozen ambulances waiting to do the same. east and north hertfordshire nhs trust accepts the situation is "extremely seriously". but they say they believe they "do better than many other places". after the recent shortage of hgv drivers, there's a warning of a shortage of security and other staff working in london's night—time economy. as demand for security staff has increased at covid testing sites and shopping centres, there aren't the staff to fill all the vacancies left behind, which means some venues might have to reduce their hours or close altogether. over the last 19 months, you know, of closure, particularly for the businesses that predominantly use security, many of those people have had to find work elsewhere. on top of that you've got brexit and you've also got the requirement in the public realm for more security. a bus company has started offering free travel passes to the homeless, or those wanting to get to job interviews who are at risk of losing their homes. reading buses has teamed—up with the homeless prevention charity, launchpad, to help people make essentialjourneys. the company already offers discounted travel to people withjob centre plus cards, who actively looking for work. a look at the travel situation now. now the weather with kate. good morning. it is a misty start but a very mild one. temperatures overnight and stayed in double figures. we do have a cold front bearing towards us. that will bring more cloud. ahead of it we are hanging onto this mild air. we got a few bright spells when the mist and fog lifts. we will still see some bright and sunny spells. clouds thickening towards the end of the afternoon as heads south. maximum temperatures 16 celsius. very mild. overnight that cold front really takes its time. it is gradually going to increase the cloud. some spots of rain potentially as we head into wednesday. the minimum temperature between nine and 11 celsius. another mild night. that cold front stalls and stays with us through tomorrow. patchy rain. thursday remaining cloudy. you will notice that area of low pressure coming in from the west, heading towards us towards the end of the week. that turns the weather more unsettled on friday. the temperatures stay mild but gradually getting a little bit chillier as we had through the weekend. i'm back in an hour. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. frontline nhs staff could be required to be fully vaccinated by next spring, under plans expected to be announced by the government later. it comes as the deadline for all care home staff to be double jabbed comes into place on thursday. we can get some more detail on this from the deputy prime minister, dominic raab, whojoins us now. good morning. what can you tell us about this? — good morning. what can

period of introspection at the moment following those allegations of racism that have rocked yorkshire county cricket club. there is a new body called the independent commission for equality in cricket. they are launching an online survey today encouraging anyone who plays cricket, whether grassroots or an elite player, professional cricketer, to go online, fill in this one that is asking these questions about people's experiences playing cricket and one that they have experienced discrimination, abuse, going to make cricket a more accessible sport for everybody. yorkshire say anybody who suffered discrimination or abuse should speak up discrimination or abuse should speak up as well as part of that survey. a former academy player has come forward to say he was racially abused by a member of staff, and new chairman lord patel thanked azeem rafiq for exposing racism at the club. well, the allegation came on the day that the new chairman lord patel apologised to former player azeem rafiq and praised his courage in exposing the racism he was subjected to. he said the club's investigation into rafiq's allegations — after which no one was disciplined — had been badly handled. we need to learn from our mistakes and ensure the right people are in place and ensure we do better. not only in terms of the root issues of racism or discrimination, but also how, as a club, we deal with any issues that arise going forward. eddie howe is the new boss at newcastle united — his appointment was confirmed almost three weeks after the departure of steve bruce. the former bournemouth

south wales. rescued after two days trapped underground — an injured caver is brought to safety. he's said to be in good spirits. just amazing. it is the biggest rescue any of us have done. i hope will ever do. good morning, all aboard the wine express as extra services are laid on to help deliver 4 million bottles of wine we ask whether railways beat the roads when it comes in the future of

on discrimination. good morning, a mile day with cloud aroundand sam rain across parts of england and wales and showers in scotland and northern ireland. in between, bright skies or sunny spells. the details later. it's tuesday, 9th of november. breaking news. front—line nhs staff in england will be required to be fully vaccinated with the government is expected to make the announcement later today. a deadline will be set for next spring to give time for workers to have both doses. our health editor hugh pym reports. compulsory vaccination against covid for staff in adult social care is already being implemented in england. there's a deadline later this week for care workers to comply, apart from those deemed to be exempt. it's understood that, later today, the government will announce that the policy will be extended to staff in patient—facing roles in the nhs in england. they'll be required as a condition of deployment in those posts to be double—jabbed by next spring, unless there are medical reasons for exemption. the deadline has been set to allow for the gap between first and second doses. around 90% of nhs staff in england have already been vaccinated against covid. the health secretary, sajid javid, said last month that he was leaning towards compulsoryjabs for nhs staff and the main issue was patient safety. health leaders say they see the benefits of the policy, asa as a doctor i take it for granted i have to be vaccinated against hepatitis b so i don't put patients at risk of an incurable illness that could cause liver cancer, and i have been required to do that the entire 36 years i have been a doctor. it is not as if this is entirely new. health leaders say they see the benefits of the policy, though some have expressed reservations, arguing that there is a risk some staff might quit at a time of concerns about staffing gaps. there are still between 80,000, 90,000 staff who have not been vaccinated and it is important we work hard with them over the next months before the deadline to try to get as many as possible vaccinated so we do not face this problem of a cliff edge of effectively numbers of staff leaving. the health union unison has argued that the key to convincing hesitant staff should be persuasion, not force. decisions on the issue are devolved and it's possible that the other uk nations will take a different route to england. a man who was injured while caving in the brecon beacons has been rescued after being trapped underground for two days. he is said to be in good spirits after 250 people worked in shifts to bring him to safety. hywel griffith sent this report. mission accomplished. after more than two days of painstaking, exhausting work, relief all round. together, these volunteers carried the casualty through an underground assault course of boulders, streams and ledges, the longest stretcher carry ever by a british cave rescue team. it is absolutely amazing. the cooperation, the professionalism. everybody dealt with it. the controllers, down to the grunts on the sharp end, it was just amazing. it's the biggest rescue any of us have done, i hope will ever do. the casualty is an experienced caver in his 405. on saturday, he fell and suffered multiple injuries, but could talk to his rescuers throughout. when you consider how long he has been in the cave, how long he has been in the stretcher, he is doing very well indeed. so he's been talking to the medics along the way and they have been having a conversation, but we are waiting for them to come out, now. but we are waiting for this is what draws enthusiasts here. but we are waiting for a sculpted subterranean world, in places almost 300 metres deep. it attracts cavers from across the uk. after 50 hours underground and the efforts of 250 volunteers, the casualty is now safe and on their way to hospital. bringing this rescue operation to a successful conclusion. for the volunteers, days of endeavour and years of training have tonight brought their reward. of endeavour and years of training a 10—year—old boy has died after being attacked by a dog in south wales. the incident occurred at a house in caerphilly at around four o'clock yesterday afternoon. our reporter tomos morgan is there for us this morning. what more can you tell us? ijust what more can you tell us? i 'ust soke to what more can

locals who live here, i spoke to locals who live here, completely torn apart by what happened yesterday afternoon when the police and emergency services were called at around 3:55pm to an incident here, just outside caerphilly, when the welsh ambulance service and paramedics arrived, a ten—year—old boy was pronounced dead at the scene. it is believed he was attacked by a dog. the dog was destroyed straightaway. this morning, there has been police presence. gwent police continue investigations here and we expect an update at some point in the next hour or two from gwent police as to how their investigation is progressing. they told the public there will be an increased presence in the area as they continue their investigation, but not to be alarmed as they do so. i think the question will be how did this incident take place and where, and could anything have been done to prevent it? we expect an update at some point later this morning as the police continue investigations into the tragedy that happened yesterday afternoon here in caerphilly. happened yesterday afternoon here in caerhill . ., ~ happened yesterday afternoon here in caerhill. . ,, the prime minister has refused to apologise over the government's attempt to change the rules governing how mps standards of conduct should be enforced. mrjohnson wasn't at an emergency debate about the subject yesterday — with labour accusing him of 'running scared'. no 10 said it was due to a "long—standing commitment" to visit a hospital. we can speak to adam fleming. you will no doubt listening to what dominic raab said on that issue. it sounds like the government will put the power in the hands of the house of commons standards committee to look into these issues. they were looking into these anyway because thatis looking into these anyway because that is theirjob and also because they are in the process right now of writing a new code of conduct for mp5. their intention is that will be mps. their intention is that will be published and debated before christmas and that will become the point at which parliament has another conversation about the rules for disciplining mps and whether mps have the right to appeal that decision and also the rules around mps having second jobs, which is rising up the agenda. because newspapers have combed through the register of mps' interests, to see who has been doing what. in terms of the debate, we did not see the prime minister. we saw the cabinet office minister steve barclay and said the government regretted what they did when they linked the case of owen paterson, an individual, with a potential reform of the system for how mps are disciplined. also what yesterday revealed worse cracks on this within the conservative party with the former chief whip mark harper, who used to be responsible for party discipline saying the prime minister should have been there and apologising to mp5. you had mps elected in 2019 saying mps who had been around longer had maybe been too sympathetic to owen paterson and also been patronising to the new ones. and others on the standards committee at odds about how it should work in the future. it might

how many. i persuaded loads of people to work with me on this and the place to do it. i don't know, it was something that came about and needed to happen. it all fell into place. 300 people to make

is the numbers, isn't it? it is the simplicity of it that makes it powerful. let's have a look at it now. this is the installation going up at the imperial war museum. this camera was set up while it

behind that. that is why it is so important to stop and think about what those families have gone through and sacrifices made. a beautiful thing. afghanistan we have talked about a lot and millions of people in that country faced starvation this winter in what the un says is fast becoming the world's worst humanitarian crisis. the head of the world food programme said the country risks turning into hell on earth following drought and withdrawal of us and allied troops. we can speak tojohn simpson now, whojoins us from afghanistan. it is great to see you this morning. i have watched reports you have been filing, deeply moving stories. tell me now about the situation and what it is like where you are today. it is a strange feeling. i have been to various crises of this sort but further down the road, when people are actually walking skeletons, dying by the roadside, it is not like that here. the people look pretty reasonably well fed. there is food in the shop still. but everybody knows thatjust around the corner, just maybe a couple of weeks away, three weeks away, the snow is coming, it looks like being a really bad winter. there has been a drought here most of the year. people have got no money to buy food. and they are looking over the edge of the precipice. they will have an awful lot of access to international news media as you expect, although bbc radio is listened to by huge numbers of people. they know it. everybody knows it is just going to happen. that is why it is quite emotional. you do you think about your own children, grandchildren, who before christmas, these people here, so similar in many ways, could be dying of hunger. we are seeing images of the family you spoke to in the report you filed. just the most incredible story. the family of seven children. tell us about the situation they are in. you were deeply moved by what you saw. i in. you were deeply moved by what ou saw. ., , in. you were deeply moved by what ou saw. . , ., in. you were

of bread a day. that is their meal. the kids can sometimes get something at school but usually not very much. basically, that is where they are now. the mother used to earn money reading the fields but the farmers are pretty much going out of business because of the drought —— and reading the fields. a little boy was practising training to be a shepherd but the guy who owns the sheep simply is not able to keep the same number of sheep and he cannot hire anybody, even a kid on pennies a day. so they have absolutely nothing. the urgency is not that they are starving right now, but that they will be starving in a few weeks. that is what age agencies here want to do. they want to sort out the problem —— aid agencies want to sort out the problem before it gets desperate. the mother in that situation was faced with the most impossible question. you asked her, if they are absolutely desperate, what is the final thing you might be able to do to help yourfamily. tell us final thing you might be able to do to help your family. tell us what she answered.— to help your family. tell us what she answered. well, i said to her uuite a she answered. well, i said to her quite a lot _ she

once were. and she said, she would have to do it if it was a question of keeping the family from absolute dire starvation. she said of course she would hate to do it. and the two girls were of course totally horrified by the idea. theyjust want to go back to school. but these taliban will not let older girls go to school. that is the situation they are faced with, selling their children to make sure the whole family has enough food simply to get through the day. just that one piece of bread to get them through the day. taste of bread to get them through the da . ~ ., of bread to get them

this is... i have done this so many times where you watch television and you think, there is nothing i can do whatsoever. actually, because the aid agencies are making a fuss before the worst of the crisis hits us, it is possible for people to make money over to the international community. my colleagues here, and i worked it out that if the people just living in those caves and a roundabout, the really poor ones, to feed them, get them through winter, would only cost about £200,000. we are not talking millions and billions. but it has to be done. the aid agencies have to do it. a lot of people say, well, that money obviously is going in the pockets of officials. i am certainly not saying the taliban are not corrupt because i am afraid every politician orjust about in afghanistan, there is an element of corruption. but the taliban are people who have just arrived in power. they do not have the scope and ability to control the country in that way. the aid agencies, that a man from the world food programme i interviewed, he said the taliban are operating very helpfully with them. they are just doing everything the world food programme want because the taliban themselves know how desperate this is. they know the whole place could come crashing around their ears and they won't help so that they are allowing the aid agencies to do anything that the agencies think they ought to do. i have seen the food yelled out, it is well organised. the taliban are doing the organisation. people do not have to worry their money will end up in a bank account in geneva. the government here, they are just not operating on that level. they have no idea about corruption on that scale, like the previous government did. and so there are people —— things people can do and can be done with assurance. you things people can do and can be done with assurance.— with assurance. you are in taliban -controlled _ with assurance. you are in taliban -controlled territory. _ with

family. but not so poor, probably not the poorest, even in these caves behind us. there will be people who are worse off than them. there are some better off people. there are plenty of people who will get through this crisis unscathed. but there will be hundreds of thousands, millions of people who live in dire conditions who will not survive if they are not helped. it who will not survive if they are not heled. , ., ., ., ~ ., helped. it is great to talk to you this morning. _ helped. it is great to talk to you this morning. john _ helped. it is great to talk to you this morning. john simpson - helped. it is great to talk to you i this morning. john simpson talking live from afghanistan on the situation, the impending crisis. at the start of the chat he said he was a little embarrassed getting emotional about covering the story and in the many years of reporting is something he has not shown publicly before. can i say thank you to those who got in contact on a range of issues from sending pictures of your dog is watching tv, to some of the stuff we have talked about, including trying to get a dental appointment. some people say they are able to get appointments. but many out there, they have shared frustrations this morning. thank you for getting in contact. i love it when everybody gets in touch. it is part of the conversation, what we do in the morning. we are here because you are watching and we love to be part of a dental appointment. some people say they are able to get appointments. but many good morning. i'm asad ahmad. ambulances at a hospital in hertfordshire are having to sometimes wait up to five hours to hand over patients to an a&e department. and while they're at the lister hospital in stevenage, they could be in a queue of almost a dozen ambulances waiting to do the same. east and north hertfordshire nhs trust accepts the situation is "extremely seriously". but they say they believe they "do better than many other places". after the recent shortage of hgv drivers, there's a warning of a shortage of security and other staff working in london's night—time economy. as demand for security staff has increased at covid testing sites and shopping centres, there aren't the staff to fill all the vacancies left behind, which means some venues might have to reduce their hours or close altogether. over the last 19 months, you know, of closure, particularly for the businesses that predominantly use security, many of those people have had to find work elsewhere. on top of that you've got brexit and you've also got the requirement in the public realm for more security. a bus company has started offering free travel passes to the homeless, or those at risk of losing their homes, wanting to get to job interviews. reading buses has teamed—up with the homeless prevention charity, launchpad, to help people make essentialjourneys. the company already offers discounted travel to people withjob centre plus cards, who actively looking for work. a look at the travel situation now. now the weather with kate. good morning. it is a misty start but a very mild one. temperatures overnight and stayed in double figures. we do have a cold front bearing towards us. that will bring more cloud. ahead of it we are hanging onto this mild air. we've got a few bright spells when the mist and fog lifts. we will still see some bright and sunny spells. cloud thickening towards the end of the afternoon as it heads south. maximum temperatures 16 celsius. very mild. overnight that cold front really takes its time. it is gradually going to increase the cloud. some spots of rain potentially as we head into wednesday. the minimum temperature between nine and ii celsius. another mild night. that cold front stalls and stays with us through tomorrow. patchy rain. thursday remaining cloudy. you will notice that area of low pressure coming in from the west, heading towards us towards the end of the week. that turns the weather more unsettled on friday. the temperatures stay mild but gradually getting a little bit chillier as we had through the weekend. i'm back in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. morning live follows us on bbc one this morning. let's find out what's in store with sara and gethin. coming up on morning live... it happens in a blink of an eye and without you even knowing. following a recent rise in drink—spiking in pubs and clubs, dr punam tells us how to spot the signs and what to do if you or a loved one is targeted. and, as studies show you're more likely to get some cancers — - but less likely to survive them if you're black, dr esho - investigates why this is and shares the personal reason he wants - to change the stigma surrounding the disease in his community. - also today — around two million tonnes of electrical items are thrown away in the uk every year, but dom littlewood uncovers the secrets to extending the life span of your appliances so you can help save the planet and some cash. plus, it's the time of year. for comfort food and there's nothing more comforting| than a good old crumble. our chef anna haugh tells us why it doesn't just - have to be for dessert — you can even make one with sausages! i she likes mixing it up. in today's strictly fitness, janette teaches us the charleston inspired by clara and aljaz's strictly performance from 2020. and, he's spent the last - two decades travelling the world, but adventurer simon reeve is sticking to home turf- for his latest series.

his friend _ old club, leeds rhinos. he is doing it again to help his friend rob - it again to help his friend rob burrow, diagnosed with mnd in 2019. we have been catching up with kevin and his new team as they build up to this new challenge. kev is one of those people who when he speaks, you listen. people gravitate towards him because he is so decent. humble. it sounds like i have got a massive man crush. i probably do. the way he speaks, | you've got to listen. his presence lights up a room in those team meetings. - he doesn't say much because he still doesn't know what is going on about. that is the reality of it. he's rugby league. he is still talking about sets of six. i'm like, kev, get it out of your system, mate. it's been a huge challenge switching. the sports are similar, but massively different as well. i didn't know anybody. i started from scratch. i suppose in many ways rob, and what we did for rob last december, pushed me down this route, the fact you have to take some risks and try to get the most out of your life. this opportunity presented itself. it's been great. he has brought quiet authority. he's very comfortable in his own skin as a coach. it took me ages, years, and you can see why he was captain for so long. those are the qualities he brings. a quiet leadership. my wife suggested running with both clubs. do the maths and work out of the route. it was all inspired by rob. he will be in all of our heads and hearts when we take on the run. we are going to do our best for him. i think it's crazy, to be fair. it works out to be 160 kilometres or something. credit to him. he is doing it for a good mate of his struggling at the moment. it just shows the character of him. the guy you want to go into the trenches with because he'll do anything for you. everybody here is proud of him. good morning, leicestertigers. inspirational, admirable, - incredible and what a fantastic thing to do for a friend. what more could you do? it'sjust awesome. he is doing great at the minute. he is pulling together for the defence. he's a great bloke. he's running from leicester to leeds rhinos, 100 miles. one of the first things kev spoke to us about when he arrived - was you play with your mates and you get a bond _ that lasts a lifetime. the bond he has with his team—mates, with leeds, he has built— that with leicester. it inspires him to run. since i've met kev he has actually made me feel really bad about myself because he's a pretty good man, isn't he? he's pretty special. it's a ridiculous challenge, isn't it? absolutely ridiculous. there's got to be something pretty strong about him. he's already done something ridiculous, seven in seven days. he runs a marathon for fun now. it is so far out of my realm of understanding, that i have absolutely no idea. i'm so proud of him. firstly, to be able to do what he does in terms of the errors and the diligence that goes into coaching a premiership team, and then to be able to prepare for something like this for your mate, i've only got admiration. he will have massive, massive support here. probably a bit apprehensive. i was like this last time. i think you want to get started, you want to get going. as i said on the show, i'm marathon—fit, but probably not 100 mile—fit. as the great sally nugent told me, you don't run with your legs, you run with this. in many ways i want it to be horrible, i want it to be uncomfortable, i want it to be raining and sleeting and windy. i want it to be raining i want everything to get thrown at us that can be, because people out there are having it tough with mnd. they are fighting every top flight at the minute. we are just showing then we care. what a brilliant, brilliant image that is. did you know i was great,

we have got some rain this morning. a week by the front moving across southern scotland into northern england, taking its rain with it, eventually getting into north wales. we have also got some showers coming in across the outer hebrides. you can see the two fronts associated with that. the spacing in the isobars tells you we have got light winds today. the north of scotland can expect gusts of a0 to 50 mph. the showers in the north—west slipping south through the day. interspersed with sunshine. at times there will be areas of cloud. as we can further south, sunshine across northern ireland, then we move into the rain. moving slowly southwards across northern end, getting into wales, drizzle in the south—west of england. ahead of it to the cloud is going to build but not quite arriving in the southern counties, the five south and south—east, until much later. but here you mayjust catch the odd shower as you will do across the channel islands. temperatures today ranging from about nine or ten in the north to about nine or ten in the north to about 1a or 15 about nine or ten in the north to about 1a or15 in about nine or ten in the north to about 1a or 15 in the south. through this evening and overnight the weather front moves slowly south, taking its cloud and rain with it, hill fog associated with this. a few showers in the north and west. under clear skies across the north—east it will be cult enough in sheltered plans for a touch of frost. that does mean tomorrow morning we wake up does mean tomorrow morning we wake up to blue skies and sunshine. still there will be showers crossing scotland, northern ireland and northern england, with a lot of dry weather too. meanwhile, northern england, with a lot of dry weathertoo. meanwhile, in the northern england,
