political pressure after the former tory mp owen paterson was found to a broken lobbying rules as a paid consultant. our political correspondent helen catt reports. good morning, prime minister. the prime minister has a tough day of questioning ahead, as he tries to draw a line under the sleaze allegations which have dominated westminster for the last few weeks. yesterday he announced he would support banning mps from working as paid political consultants, at the exact moment labour was holding a press conference calling for the same. labour is chalking the prime minister's move up as a win. but it would still like to see a wider ban on mps having second jobs, except if it's for a public service like nursing or working as a doctor. the government wants to focus not on what mps do, but on how long they spend doing it. borisjohnson said he would back changing the code of conduct to put a reasonable limit on mps' outside activities, and punish those who neglect their duties. exactly what is being proposed is miles away from where the government was two weeks ago. two weeks ago, they were talking really about watering down the current system. now they're talking about not only tightening the rules, but putting that in the hands of the system as it currently exists. but it is parliament, not the government, which actually sets the rules for mp5. so the detail would have to be worked out there if it chose to go ahead. and some conservatives are concerned the consequences are unclear. i'm very cautious on this, because i know that some of my colleagues have jobs and outside work that they do, and that means them having to give up, changing their lifestyle. we have to be careful about this. we have to realise that we're dealing with human beings who have families and responsibilities, so whilst, as i've said before, the duty, the first duty, must be to parliament, to constituency and to the work we do for our country, any changes i think should be evolutionary. they will get they will get the chance to quiz the prime minister directly later. he is expected to address a gathering of his own backbenchers this evening. before that, he faces the liaison committee of senior mps. and before that, the labour leader at prime minister's questions. borisjohnson may hope the end of the sleaze row is in sight, but there will be a lot more questions to answer before he gets there. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. our chief political correspondent adam fleming is in westminster this morning. so the prime minister hoping he can put a face sleaze

this winter, if people don't act responsibly after covid. that's according to the uk health security agency, with experts warning that a rise in infections not responding to treatment is likely as pandemic restrictions ease. last year one in five people with an infection had an antibiotic resistant one, although the overall number of infections did fall because of lockdown. polish border guards

severaljudges have fled to the uk as part of a government rescue mission. sima kotecha has been speaking to two of them. their names have not been mentioned at their request. we are very afraid. the situation is not well in kabul, in afghanistan. as the taliban took charge of afghanistan again, they released thousands of business. almost 300 female judges and lawyers were forced into hiding, worried about those prisoners they convicted now coming after them. the bbc has exclusively been speaking to the first two female judges to have arrived in the uk just this weekend, about their experiences under taliban control. these women have decades of experience, sitting asjudges in the highest courts in afghanistan. the taliban had said it would not kill any femalejudges, but human rights groups say they have been tortured and murdered. there are some that believe the taliban have changed, that the taliban are not as strict as they were previously. do you believe that? when you think about your female relatives and friends in afghanistan, and you think about what is happening in your country, how does it feel here? how does it feel in your heart? do you believe that one day you will be able to go home again? you don't think you will see your mother again? that was sima kotecha reporting. the time now is quarter past six on wednesday morning and it's time for the weather

lights. later in the programme we will take you to the grand finale of the trail. that does look quite spectacular. it is a chilly start to the day. temperatures just below 2 degrees. it is cold wherever you are. however, the forecast for the next few days is a mild one. temperatures will pick up during the day. and later on they will be well above average for the time of the year. this morning, we have had a lot of clear skies to start with. they will be a fair bit of sunshine as well in the sun does get up. the cloud is building from the west, they can offer drizzle and some showers. we will see some rain coming into the north—western quarter. the best of the sunshine will be across central, southern and eastern areas. it would be quite windy in the northern half of the country. temperatures ten to 13 degrees. the average at this stage in november is roughly seven to 11 degrees. as we head through this evening and overnight, they will be quite a bit of cloud around. some rain across the north west, drizzle coming out of the cloud in the west generally. clear skies in central and eastern areas, where we see the lowest temperatures. three degrees in some parts. in the west we are looking at ten. tomorrow, another cloudy day for most. windy as well. rain in the north west. drizzle on the western coasts. the brighter skies will be in eastern scotland and parts of eastern england. tomorrow, somewhere could reach 17 degrees. more than likely it north—east scotland, around aberdeenshire. but even eastern parts of england could also hit 16 degrees. if you like it

second jobs as consultants. the daily mail leads on the home secretary priti patel saying that the liverpool bomber had exploited the uk's asylum "merry—go—round". the paper says emad al swealmeen had an asylum claim rejected seven years ago, but still had an appeal outstanding. the is front page reports on staff shortages in the care sector as a result of mandatory covid vaccines. it says that 100,000 people are at risk of losing theirjobs, and that home care provision is "heading for catastrophe". and the former yorkshire bowler azeem rafiq appears on many of today's front pages — including the yorkshire post — following his testimony to mps on the the racist treatment he faced. that is in our main sports news this morning as well. we will be talking about that throughout the morning. what have we got inside? we are not on trend, you and me. you've got your heels on, i've got my brogues on. according to the guardian this morning, heels and broke get the boot. trainers. i

are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. it's thought there could be as many as 13,500 victims of modern slavery living and working in london. the charityjustice and care have warned the figure could be even higher. many arrive in the country through airports including stansted, unaware they'll end up in forced labour. the biggest, most vulnerable people coming into the uk are generally young men. that is due to them being exploited in the labour industry. they come through stansted into farming work or construction sites where they are paid no money or come into the country in debt to those who have got them to the uk in the first place. a student from essex who invented a gadget to stop bleeding from knife injuries has been awarded £30,000 to develop it. 22—year—old joseph bentley created the 'react�* device after two of his friends were stabbed. it inflates in the wound and can be used by police while they're waiting for paramedics. a museum in east london has signalled that it could move a controversial statue of a slave owner from its entrance. the museum of the home in shoreditch said a monument of sir robert geffrye could be kept on site, but in a "less prominent space." it comes after campaigners called for a boycott. we're just two days away from children in need and over the past few weeks we've been showing you where some of your donations go. rap club is a project set up by sixth form east london arts and music. it gives young people from disadvantaged backgrounds the chance to develop their confidence and creative skills. let's take a look at the travel situation on the tubes... there is a good service this morning. the overground has severe delays. and for all the latest travel news where you are tune into your bbc local radio station. on to the weather now. a pretty nice day of weather for the time of year. there will be a lot of sunshine around. not as chilly as this time yesterday. temperatures for most of us in single figures. mr will left and clear. sunny spells into the afternoon. some cloud coming and going at times. top temperatures peaking between ten and 12 celsius in the best of the sunshine with just a light westerly wind. dry overnight with lots of clear skies around, particularly at first. temperatures will drop down to mid—single figures at the start of the day. there will be cloud around on thursday that there will be sunshine and the air tends mild indeed. myself 1a, 15 celsius, well above seasonal average. then some sunshine and also rather cloudy conditions. staying mild on saturday by the time we get to sunday the air will turn colder with chilly northerly wind and a night to follow. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. coming up on breakfast this morning... we'll meet little olive, who weighed just1 pound 2 ounces when she was born premature, with her mum sarah and dad, the burnley football captain ben mee, as they raise awareness for the charity, tommy's. we'll speak to the military wives, whose epic challenge of climbing the world's highest volcano is being turned into a documentary. and kevin mccloud is looking for the grand designs house of the year. he'll be here to tell us all about it. scotland's covid vaccine passport scheme could be extended next month it's as scotland's deputy first ministerjohn swinney said the measures could allow people to enjoy a "normal christmas." but businesses are warning any wider use of the scheme could have a negative impact. at the moment, people over 18 need to show that they're fully vaccinated to access nightclubs and major events, including concerts and football matches. but that could be extended to apply to cinemas, theatres and other hospitality venues. that's already the case in wales, where people have to show their nhs covid pass to access nightclubs, cinemas and events. in northern ireland, a new app is available which shows proof of vaccination but it's not compulsory. and in england, plans for similar passports were scrapped, but the government has warned they could still be introduced if cases surge during the winter months. we're joined now by professor of public health linda bauld. morning. hello. thanks forjoining us. so explain the rules are different in all the different nations. at the moment, as far as vaccine passports are concerned in scotland, what is required? we are reuuired scotland, what is required? we are required to — scotland, what is required? we are required to show— scotland, what is required? we are required to show one _ scotland, what is required? we are required to show one if _ scotland, what is required? we are required to show one if we - scotland, what is required? we are required to show one if we are i scotland, what is required? we are. required to show one if we are going into a nightclub, for example, or into a nightclub, for example, or into a nightclub, for example, or into a mass event. if you are going to one indoors and it is over 500 people unseated and any event over 10,000 people, slightly different levels if you are going to an event outdoors that is unseated, for example. it is really mass events and the night—time economy, particularly nightclubs. that was introduced weeks ago and i was a lead—in period for what was mandatory. it is too early to know the impact of the introduction. there were two main goals. the first to make the environment safer at the second to increase vaccine uptake. we did see an uptick in young people when the changes were introduced another discussion is about, should they be extended?— another discussion is about, should they be extended? extended to what? it is, other hospitality _

at the moment are trying to avoid severe restrictions on shutting things again when they have high infection rates. —— all governments. it is not really a surprise it is under active discussion here. if under active discussion here. if discussion and yet no final decision at the moment as far as the christmas opportunity is concerned. businesses are saying that we need to know the deal and the rule. the government _ to know the deal and the rule. the government is _ to know the deal and the rule. tue: government is taking to know the deal and the rule. tt9 government is taking its time to work there is three. it is complicated to introduce. one example, we had thousands of international students in scotland who have not had an mhra approved vaccine. at the moment they cannot show a vaccine pass. they could not get into a nightclub, for example. the discussion of, should it be a pass or a negative test, and negative lateral flow, when pass or a negative test, and negative lateralflow, when it pass or a negative test, and negative lateral flow, when it had to be at the door to enforce it if you are going into say a cafe? these are all things we need to through and i will be quite a lot of engagement to understand how it is done. looking at the republic of ireland, which has quite an extensive scheme, and i think there is a lot we can learn. you extensive scheme, and i think there is a lot we can learn.— is a lot we can learn. you are talkin: is a lot we can learn. you are talking about _ is a lot we can learn. you are talking about checks - is a lot we can

not _ nonstarter? personally i would like to see students not excluded i nonstarter? personally i would like to see students not excluded from| to see students not excluded from the scheme. i think it is unworkable if they cannot get access to hospitality or even leisure, which is under discussion, and how it will work. that is one of the key sticking points, exactly what would mean. from a purely public health perspective, if you are looking at safer environments, he would want to know people are vaccinated and have had a recent negative test. whether it is either or both, these details are being worked through. when the initial scheme is being introduced there were bumps on the road and thatis there were bumps on the road and that is why it was not mandatory. the government is keen all stakeholders know what the options are and what it would mean for them before they take a final decision. crucial in that decision will be what is happening with the case numbers. we had all the extra visitors in glasgow with the cop26. let's start with cop26. actually we do not think the conference had a massive impact yet. the number of people testing positive, whether it has ceded true in the community and thatis has ceded true in the community and that is still to come through, we do not know. if you look at the last infection survey we were a little bit lower than england for example but places have gone up over the last few days. my own understanding from my clinical colleagues, there are many hospitals under real strain in mid—november. i think the government is worried about what might happen in the weeks to come. that is probably the main rationale for these discussions about further measures. brute for these discussions about further measures. ~ . ,, . ., measures. we

testimony from yesterday. it was haunting, powerful, deeply emotional. these are the front pages. _ powerful, deeply emotional. these are the front pages. this _ powerful, deeply emotional. these are the front pages. this from i powerful, deeply emotional. these are the front pages. this from the | are the front pages. this from the guardian stop. guardian someone are the front pages. this from the guardian someone saying he does not want his children to play cricket because it is institutionally racist. humiliating, inhuman and racist. humiliating, inhuman and racist. in the daily mirror, going with cricket's day of shame. in the sun as well, they go at the back with name and —— named and shamed. everyone talking about the brutal testimony from azeem rafiq. it hits differently because it takes you to that place in your mind where you experience some of what he talked about. i know from the messages i had on social media from british asians by family members and friends, saying this reminded me of this moment when... whether it is running for your life for what feels like your life when you are a school kid because someone does not like the colour of your skin. that story resonated so deeply with tish asians. azeem rafiq has talked about this time and again. it is about creating change in cricket. not even about yorkshire county cricket club but he has said it is a problem at other clubs. 30% of grassroots cricket in this country is played by asians. 5% is what we see here and there is the disconnect happening. these questions are being asked. he had hours of brutal testimony in front of the parliamentary committee. what comes next? what is the ecb waking up to this morning? it says it will bring change. azeem rafiq said it was inhuman and racism cost him his career. a damning day of testimony in front of mps. in a damning day of testimony to mp5, azeem rafiq detailed the abuse he suffered at yorkshire and said he believed english cricket is "institutionally" racist. rafiq told a digital, culture, media and sport select committee that racist language was "constantly" used during his time at yorkshire and that the issues he faced there are widespread in domestic cricket. he said he lost his career to racism and hopes by speaking out there'll be a massive change in five years' time. pretty early on, me and other people from an asian background, there were comments such as, "you lot sit over there, near the toilets" and "elephant washers." the word bleep was used constantly. there just seems to be an acceptance in the institution from the leaders and no—one ever stamped it out. former yorkshire chairman roger hutton, who also appeared, said he believed the club was "institutionally racist" whilst ecb boss tom harrison, the man in charge of english cricket, apologised to rafiq and promised rapid change. we know we have let you down and we are going to fix this. we're going to fix it quickly and we're going to fix it fast because the survival of our sport depends on it. it is absolutely the core of the ecb and we will work endlessly to ensure that very quickly that message is received throughout our network. we will transform this game very quickly. what then happens next? it is clear yorkshire had a huge amount of work to do. here is a statement from the new chair, lord patel. he says there is no quick fix of the clear problems that has been identified. away from that story last night, wales have boosted their chances of making the world cup by guaranteeing a home tie in the play—offs next march, thanks to a 1—1 draw with belgium. kevin de bruyne's early goal was a setback. wales recovered though, kieffer moore equalising before half time. the 1—1 result means robert page's side will be seeded in the draw, which will be made later this month. it means now we've finished second. when our fans are rocking like they were tonight in the last two games, we'll go up against anybody at home, honestly we will. like you said, we respect the teams but we don't fear anybody. bring it on. derby county are now 1—3 points following another punishment by the efl. they have been docked nine points for breaching accounting rules. they had a 12 point penalty in september and looked to be almost certain to be relegated from the championship. gwan zho will become formula one's first chinese driver when he enters the sport next season. the 22—year—old, a former renault test driver, will race for alfa romeo in 2022 alongside valtteri bottas. the announcement means all 10 teams have completed their driver line—ups for next year. that will have a huge impact on china, no doubt. and fallon sherrock�*s become the first woman to advance to the knockout stages of the grand slam of darts. she beat gabriel clemens 5—3 in her final group game to advance, finishing off in style with a bullseye. sherrock faces men sur suljovic next, who she famously beat in the second round of the pdc world championship in 2019. impressive again. what a year she is having! incredible. thank you very much indeed. thank you. a big table economic figures today. whether it's filling up at the pump, or the price of the big shop at the supermarket, most of us will have felt the effect of rising costs recently. this morning the latest inflation figures will be out. nina's at a cafe for us in altrincham and can tell us more. there are doughnuts. what more could you want at a quarter to seven? good morning. we have been following the story of this coffee shop in altrincham, it is a small independent. they have survived the past 20 months but now they are worried about what comes next. if you are paying more for lots of things coming out of your bank account, treats like this that sometimes full some households are the first to go. let's have a look that information on just how high it is getting. the most recent data showed prices were up in september by more than 3% on a year earlier. that is pretty high. we are expecting it to go even higher omega latest figures at seven o'clock. —— when we get stop. and the bank of england reckons inflation could even go to 5% next spring. you'll have seen this if you've filled up recently. petrol prices hit a new high again yesterday. the average price of a litre of unleaded was nearly £1.46. that's up a penny on last week 5 record high price and much higher than injanuary when a litre of petrol cost about £1.15. grocery prices were up by more than 2% in october. prices are at the highest level since august last year. what that means for your weekly shop is it currently cost nearly £8 more than a year earlier. you'll also have really noticed price rises if you're trying to get materials for building work around the house, you're wanting to buy a second hand car or on your energy bills. why is it happening? partly wholesale gas prices and oil prices around the world. there is also a lag in supply chain. let speak to chris, the owner

weather front approaches, the cloud will be replaced by some rain coming in across the north and west. it will also be windy in the northern half of the country generally. lighter winds in the south. temperatures ten to 13. the average temperature is roughly seven to ii to 13. the average temperature is roughly seven to 11 north to south. as we head onto the evening and overnight, there will still be a fair bit of powder and it's still a brisk wind. the cloud was to be thick enough for drizzle and the west and we will still have rain in parts of the north and north—west. in the east we will have clear risk skies. —— clear skies. where the cloud is in the west, in northern ireland for example, the temperature is only falling to about 10 degrees. into tomorrow, fairly cloudy for most of us. it will still be windy. drizzle on the coast and the hills in the west. there will still be sunshine across central and southern eastern parts of england as well as it in scotland. temperatures in

unprecedented year of cyber attacks against companies, institutions and even hospitals, an international push is underway against hackers. but even as high profile arrests are made in a number of different countries, one place where little action is being taken is russia, despite being accused of harbouring some of the worst cyber criminals. joe tidy travelled there to find out more. cyber citadels are crumbling. from ukraine to south korea, hackers are being rounded up. online too, us intelligence services are hacking back — dismantling criminal networks and even retrieving some of the stolen riches. but there's one place where arrests aren't happening. for years, russia has brushed off accusations it's harbouring hackers. more russians have been sanctioned or indicted for hacking than any other country. 27 appear on the us cyber most wanted list. most of them are linked to the intelligence services but some are alleged criminal hackers. we're here today to identify and announce charges against a russian national. maxim jakubec and his right hand man, igor turasov are the two most wanted alleged hackers in the world. they are accused of leading evil corp, responsible for stealing more than $100 million from victims in a0 different countries. working with bbc russia's andrei zakharov, we found contact details for them. in moscow's prestigious federation tower, igor turasov runs three businesses. the receptionist found a mobile number for turasov�*s company. dennis? hello. hello, i'm looking to find igor turasov. whoever answered said they worked for the company and wanted to pass us onto another number until andrei told them where we're from. it's the bbc. maxim jakubec too is not keeping a low profile. his wedding was lavish and cost at least half a million dollars. after multiple attempts to contact him, we tried addresses in moscow. he wasn't in but his father was eager to talk. how do you think your son has become so rich? you seem very upset by the us and the uk's accusations. the us evidence against jakubec and his crew is made up of testimony from former gang members and cyberforensics data. some of the evidence was even obtained by the russian police years ago when they were still helping the us investigate. those days seem long gone now. it's more available to enlist hackers in russia than to put them injail. one of my sources told me that he personally tried to enlist jakubec and his guys from evil corp to do some work for him. at the spring summit, president biden spoke to president putin about harbouring cyber criminals. putin denied it was a russia problem but promised to work with the us. the talks have yet to bear significant fruit. many experts say russia needs to play its part to fully turn the tide on organised crime in cyberspace. joe tidy, bbc news, in moscow. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. it's thought there could be as many as 13,500 victims of modern slavery living and working in london. the charityjustice and care have warned the figure could be even higher. many arrive in the country through airports including stansted, unaware they'll end up in forced labour. our biggest, most vulnerable people coming into the uk are generally young men. that is due to them being exploited in the labour industry. they come through stansted into farming work or construction sites where they are paid no money or come into the country in debt to those who have got them to the uk in the first place. a student from essex who invented a gadget to stop bleeding from knife injuries has been awarded £30,000 to develop it. 22—year—old joseph bentley created the react device after two of his friends were stabbed. it inflates in the wound and can be used by police while they're waiting for paramedics. a museum in east london has signalled that it could move a controversial statue of a slave owner from its entrance. the museum of the home in shoreditch said a monument of sir robert geffrye could be kept on site, but in a "less prominent space." it comes after campaigners called for a boycott. they're some of the world's

our headlines today. on sleaze. the prime ministerfaces in the row over second jobs for mp5. good morning. snacks, drinks, utility bills and petrol prices, we are all feeling the force of inflation somewhere. the latest figures for october in the next few minutes. we will look at whether inflation has hit a%, twice as high as where the bank of england would like it. and in sport, the fallout from a damning day for english cricket, as azeem rafiq accuses the sport of being instituionally racist. the military wives who climbed the world's highest active volcano. good morning from kew gardens. we are here for the illuminated christmas trail, some of which you can see behind me. it is a chilly start wherever you are. many will start wherever you are. many will start with some sunshine about cloud coming from the west will bring rain later. details coming up. it is wednesday, the 17th of november. the prime minister's plans to tighten the rules on second jobs or mp5 will be debated in parliament today as the row over sleaze continues. it today as the row over sleaze continues-— today as the row over sleaze continues. it follows weeks of mounting _ continues. it follows weeks of mounting political _ continues. it follows weeks of mounting political pressure i continues. it follows weeks of i mounting political pressure after former tory mp owen paterson was found to have broken lobbying rules as a paid consultant. here is helen catt. good morning, prime minister. the prime minister has a tough day of questioning ahead, as he tries to draw a line under the sleaze allegations which have dominated westminster for the last few weeks. yesterday he announced he would support banning mps from working as paid political consultants, at the exact moment at the exact moment labour was holding a press conference calling for the same. labour is chalking the prime minister's move up as a win. but it would still like to see a wider ban on mp5 having second jobs, except if it's for a public service like nursing or working as a doctor. the government wants to focus not on what mps do, but on how long they spend doing it. borisjohnson said he would back changing the code of conduct to put a reasonable limit on mps' outside activities, and punish those who neglect their duties. exactly what is being proposed is miles away from where the government was two weeks ago. two weeks ago, they were talking really about watering down the current system. now they're talking about not only tightening the rules, but putting that in the hands of the system as it currently exists. but it is parliament, not the government, which actually sets the rules for mp5. so the detail would have to be worked out there if it chose to go ahead. and some conservatives are concerned the consequences are unclear. i'm very cautious on this, because i know that some of my colleagues have jobs and outside work that they do, and that means them having to give up, changing their lifestyle. we have to be careful about this. we have to realise that we're dealing with human beings who have families and responsibilities, so whilst, as i've said before, the duty, the first duty, must be to parliament, to constituency and to the work we do for our country, any changes i think should be evolutionary. they will get they will get the chance to quiz the prime minister directly later. he is expected to address a gathering of his own backbenchers this evening. before that, he faces the liaison committee of senior mps. and before that, the labour leader at prime minister's questions. borisjohnson may hope the end of the sleaze row is in sight, but there will be a lot more questions to answer before he gets there. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. adam fleming is in westminsterfor us this morning. good morning. will today draw a line under this row over sleaze? i today draw a line under this row over sleaze?— today draw a line under this row over

secretary, anne—marie trevelyan. the prime minister will also face questions about the state of the economy today. some really important numbers just published in the last minute. the latest inflation figures. let's go live to nina at a cafe in altrincham. what do they tell us? yeah, good morning. inflation for the month of october, we were asking if it would hit a%. it has gone beyond it. it has hit a.2%. the highest 12 month rate for a decade. it continues the rate of inflation we have seen growing in the summer. 3.2% in august, 3.1% in september. by 3.2% in august, 3.1% in september. by the spring of next year it would go as high as 5%. driven of course by those double increases in oil and gas prices. specifically in october though, housing and household services helped to drive inflation, as did the pick—up in restaurants and hotels. it is likely you are feeling it somewhere. petrol going up feeling it somewhere. petrol going up to £1.a6 this week. the average grocery shop going up £8 every week compared to a year ago. this is nowhere near the inflation we are seeing in the 19705, 25% or so, but it is significant. wages are going up it is significant. wages are going up in some parts of the private sector but not all. they are not going up very much in the public sector. wages not keeping up with inflation in most cases. a bit of inflation in most cases. a bit of inflation is a good thing. it shows the economy is growing and moving in the economy is growing and moving in the right direction. developing and driving wages up. there is a question about the point at which the bank of england has to step in when inflation gets too high. they have been waiting to see howjobs played out. yesterday we saw the trajectory is pretty solid. it's likely they will increase interest rates, the age of —— the objective is we will save more and spend less and bring those price rises down in the medium to long term. will they do that before christmas? that is the big question. thank you very much indeed. just to recap. inflation, as measured by the consumer prices index, up by a.2% in october. a.2% higher than prices were a year before. home secretary priti

few days it is going to be very mild for the time of the year. particularly so on thursday and friday. what is happening this morning as we do have clear skies, happening this morning as we do have clearskies, hence happening this morning as we do have clear skies, hence the low temperatures, but it also means there is some sunshine. through the day as the weather front approaches, the cloud will thicken in the west. we have already got some cloud producing some drizzle and some showers. then the weather front arrives and in comes the rain across the north and the west. it is quite windy in the northern half of the country. temperatures ranging from ten to about 30 degrees. the average at this time of the year roughly seven to 11 north to south. through this evening and overnight it will be quite windy. it will still be very cloudy as well. we will have the rain in the north and north—west and some drizzle along the coasts and some drizzle along the coasts and hills of wales and also the south—west of england. some clear skies in eastern areas will allow the temperatures to dip to three degrees. in the west we are looking at nine or ten. tomorrow, another fairly cloudy and windy day for us all. still the rain in the north, the northwest. some drizzle coming out of that cloud. there will be some breaks across parts of central, southern eastern england, parts of eastern scotland. it is eastern scotland where we could hit 17 degrees tomorrow. the average is about seven here. that is a whopping 10 degrees above average. it is not necessarily going to last. temperatures will drop by the time we get to sunday. thank you. we can still see some starlight behind you. don't worry. it is still there. and of course now you have done. we were talking about word of the year. there is one word back in british politics at the moment that the prime minister is desperate to stamp out. that word is sleaze. and he set out plans last night to stop mp5 working as paid consultants, to try to draw a line under this row. it was something of a surprise announcement, wasn't it? labour announced its own proposals, which are due to be debated today. we are joined now by labour mp and chair of the commons select committees on standards, chris bryant. good morning. standards, chris bryant. good morninu. standards, chris bryant. good mornin., ., standards, chris bryant.

as many as 13,500 victims of modern slavery living and working in london. the charityjustice and care have warned the figure could be even higher. many victims arrive through airports including stansted, unaware they'll end up in forced labour. our biggest, most vulnerable people coming into the uk are generally young men. we see here at stansted. that is due to them being exploited in the labour industry. they come through stansted into farming work or construction sites where they are paid no money or come into the country in debt to those who have got them to the uk in the first place. a student from essex who invented a gadget to stop bleeding from knife injuries has been awarded £30,000 to develop it. 22—year—old joseph bentley created the react device after two of his friends were stabbed. it inflates in the wound and can be used by police while they're waiting for paramedics. a museum in east london has signalled that it could move a controversial statue of a slave owner from its entrance. the museum of the home in shoreditch said a monument of sir robert geffrye could be kept on site, but in a "less prominent space." it comes after campaigners called for a boycott. we're just two days away from children in need, and over the past few weeks we've been showing you where some of your donations go. rap club is a project set up by east london arts and music. it gives young people from disadvantaged backgrounds the chance to develop their confidence and creative skills through music. let's take a look at the travel situation on the tubes... on to the weather now. good morning. it is set to stay dry across the capital today and it should be dry too for the rest of the week, with high pressure dominating. it is going to be a nice day of weather for this time of the year. a lot of sunshine. not as chilly as it was this time yesterday. temperatures for most of us in mid—single figures. early mist. not too extensive. that will lift and clear. plenty of blue sky and sunshine. sunny spells into the afternoon. some cloud coming and going at times. temperatures peaking between 10 and 12 celsius in the best of today's sunshine. a light westerly wind. it is dry too overnight. lots of clear skies. temperatures will drop down to mid single figures into the start of the day tomorrow. there will be some cloud around. sunshine like developing too. the air turns really very mild indeed. we will see highs of 1a or 15 celsius. well above the seasonal average. some sunshine and cloudy conditions. staying mild on friday and saturday. by the time we get to sunday the air turns colder with a chilly northerly wind and a frosty night to follow. i am back in half an hour. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. thank you forjoining us. the prime minister will face questions today about his plans to ban mp5 from working as paid consultants, in an attempt to draw a line under the sleaze row which continues to rumble on in westminster. we're joined now by the international trade secretary anne—marie trevelyan. good morning. thank you forjoining us on breakfast. you spoke to us a week ago and told us your constituents did not seem that bothered about the allegations of sleaze seems that has changed. that was indeed the _ sleaze seems that has changed. trisgt was indeed the case and i think as i said i would be very content to see this reviewed again and the prime minister has been able to bring forward two of the key propositions from the 2018 standards report which relate to questioning whether we should continue to allow serving mp5 to also act as political consultants, not as paid lobbyists. that has been disallowed for many years now but not to be political consultants. the conversation about what is an acceptable second job in what is an acceptable second job in what is an acceptable second job in what is not is relatively clear. he is a brilliant author and spends his time researching and writing brilliant books. maria caulfield is nhs nurse and she does shifts at her local hospital. i do not think we would consider those to be things you can do in your spare time but the question is whether being a political consultant, talking to businesses and being paid by them to understand parliament and its systems should be left to those no longer selling as mp5. the question of what is reasonable for mp5 to do outside the main dayjob as an mp is also one that is worth airing and discussing. i do twojobs also one that is worth airing and discussing. i do two jobs as an mp and minister. i don't have time for anything else. i do twojobs and hope i do them well. the anything else. i do two 'obs and hope i do them well. the government has been bounced _ hope i do them well.

prime minister has set forward and the has said it was an error to conflate two issues. the prime minister has put forward his proposition. the decision will be made by parliament. any decision made by parliament. any decision made by parliament. any decision made by the prime minister, this is not a government thing, this is parliamentary. he set out his perspective and certainly my colleagues and labour colleagues would agree these are two of the recommendations from the 2018 report which are worth taking forward. hagar which are worth taking forward. how will this work, _ which are worth taking forward. how will this work, the borisjohnson proposals? he talks about what is a reasonable amount of time for mp5 to spend on other work. you mention things likejournalism spend on other work. you mention things like journalism and writing and working as a doctor. what is a reasonable amount of time in a month for an mp to do anotherjob? ltruihat for an mp to do another 'ob? what would be a — for an mp to do another 'ob? what would be a reasonable _ for an mp to do anotherjob? twist would be a reasonable amount of for an mp to do anotherjob? tarisgt would be a reasonable amount of time for you to do something else outside your work as a journalist? i that is a common—sense test which is probably if you spend a0 hours, 50 hours a week doing your main job, doing ten or 50 hours a week doing something us, whatever you choose to do in your spare time, whether paid or not paid is something that is part of the richness of what you bring as an individual to your role as an mp. as i say, i did twojobs very full time and were probably 80, 90 hours a week. i do twojobs very full time and were probably 80, 90 hours a week. i do two jobs and very full time and were probably 80, 90 hours a week. i do twojobs and i hope i do them both well. i think it is about making sure that your constituents come first. we all know what that means in practical sense. being part of your community and being there to support all those businesses, civil society individuals, public sector, groups, schools, hospitals grabbing them as an advocate and a champion for them. that is with our central focus as mp5. what you do in your spare time, whether paid or not paid as a volunteer or indeed in a paid well is something i think is very clear. the standards committee will look at this and put something forward but i think there is a common—sense test we all understand. so think there is a common-sense test we all understand.— think there is a common-sense test we all understand. so you reckon ten to 15 hours of— we all understand. so you reckon ten to 15 hours of the _ we all understand. so you reckon ten to 15 hours of the accountable - we all understand. so you reckon ten to 15 hours of the accountable park. to 15 hours of the accountable park you are thinking of. geoffrey cox, torridge and west devon mp, barrister as well as mp, the times list calculates he did 1066 hours of work as a lawyer in the last year. is that acceptable? is it reasonable under the new proposals? l is that acceptable? is it reasonable under the new proposals?- is that acceptable? is it reasonable under the new proposals? i cannot do that maths in — under the new proposals? i cannot do that maths in my _ under the new proposals? i cannot do that maths in my head. _ under the

a week? again, it is a reasonable test. as the prime minister and geoffrey cox has said, at the end of the day we are elected by constituents and they can choose to re—elect us if they think we are doing a good job or not. that is part of the contract we have with constituents. that is always a backstop, which is very good thing. at the end of the day that is what we want to see. we understand reasonableness and that will be part of the discussion in the debate today, what it looks like, what the safeguards will be, what the role of the standards commission and others would be enriching assessments. the key as ever is going to be transparency. the backstop is constituents making that decision. during the quick maths. it is not my strong point either. i calculate that as being about 20 hours a week that as being about 20 hours a week that geoffrey cox is doing of extra work. underyour that geoffrey cox is doing of extra work. under your mindset like your ballpark, he should be

to parliament. we have a cohort of 650 people who bring all sorts of skills and experiences to the particles at the nnp is a job which is about representing so many different interests, groups, vulnerable groups, being able to champion them and advocate their needs. bringing all the different skills we had to the party is important. that would be the point. clear transparency, which we already have in terms of how much we are paid if we have second roles and who it is full. the point about saying the sort of political consultancy is something that is not really acceptable whilst you

bills and they will be really worried about the cost of living in the months ahead. what is your message to them about how tough this will be? the message to them about how tough this will be? . . .,

likely to go up a little more. that is why for the most vulnerable constituents he has both increased the universal credit and by up to £1000 a year. there is a £500 million fund for the most vulnerable families and we continue to support those independent pay review bodies for public sector workers who will be looking in the traditional way now we have come out of the coronavirus crisis situation at how to support pay increases in the year ahead. the chancellor has set in play a number of tools and support systems to ensure those most vulnerable are able to have the support they need during this inflationary time. universal credit taper only applies to those he worked. the pay review bodies, there is no guaranty increases will actually happen. in the meantime bills go up and life

for the sport. there is one story, one sports story which is on the back pages but also many of the front pages of the newspapers. the honest testimony from azeem rafiq. in the daily mirror — testimony from azeem rafiq. in the daily mirror they _ testimony from azeem rafiq. in the daily mirror they call— testimony from azeem rafiq. in the daily mirror they call it _ testimony from azeem rafiq. in the daily mirror they call it cricket's - daily mirror they call it cricket's day of shame. cricket in the gutter. the son going with named and shamed. the son going with named and shamed. the humiliating racist. azeem rafiq rocks cricket to the core, on the daily express. in the guardian can i do not want my sand to go near it. azeem rafiq hits out at cricket, the institutional racism. that was a devastating moment where he was asked about his children and whether he would want them to play cricket. he said he does not want them to go near it because of the experience he had. since i spoke to you in the last hour and people had come on now, people have shared experiences they have had. it takes you back to school days can going up, university or even work. many british asians, whether you are pakistani, indian, bangladeshi or sri lankan have been through what he has been through. it has. a lot of asians to go down memory lane things you have buried. growing up about my parent's shop. we ran the local corner shop in a white village. these were things i had not sought hugely about until a story. that is reflective of so many british asians. there was a sense this could be a watershed moment, this could be a watershed moment, this story has impacted communities in a way i cannot remember other stories impacting. could the nappy change? azeem rafiq talked about his treatment as inhuman and said racism cost him his career. in a damning day of testimony to mp5, azeem rafiq detailed the abuse he suffered at yorkshire and said he believed english cricket is "institutionally" racist. rafiq told a digital, culture, media and sport select committee that racist language was "constantly" used during his time at yorkshire and that the issues he faced there are widespread in domestic cricket. he said he lost his career to racism and hopes by speaking out there'll be a massive change in five years' time. pretty early on, me and other people from an asian background, there were comments such as, "you lot sit over there, near the toilets" and "elephant washers." the word bleep was used constantly. there just seems to be an acceptance in the institution from the leaders and no—one ever stamped it out. former yorkshire chairman roger hutton, who also appeared, said he believed the club was "institutionally racist" whilst ecb boss tom harrison, the man in charge of english cricket, apologised to rafiq and promised rapid change. we know we have let you down and we are going to fix this. we're going to fix it quickly and we're going to fix it fast because the survival of our sport depends on it. it is absolutely the core of the ecb and we will work endlessly to ensure that very quickly that message is received throughout our network. we will transform this game very quickly. so what happens next? it's clear that yorkshire have a huge amount of work to do, and here's a statement from their new chair lord patel which was made after the hearing. away from that story last night, wales made the task of reaching the world cup just a little easier last night by holding belgium to a draw. wales needed a point to earn a home semi final in the world cup play—offs in march but kevin de bruyne's early goal was a setback. wales recovered though, kieffer moore equalising before half time. the 1—1 result means robert page's side will be seeded in the draw, which will be made later this month. roger federer has confirmed he will not be competing at the australian openin not be competing at the australian open injanuary. there were speculations. roger federer said he would be extremely surprised to play wimbledon next year. he has not played since lastjuly and is continuing to recover from played since lastjuly and is continuing to recoverfrom multiple knee surgeries. will we see him again? i hope so. knee surgeries. will we see him again? i hope 50. what is the word of the year... perseverance. thank you very much indeed. we will keep you very much indeed. we will keep you posted if we hear any more roger federer. one person i know who will be very disappointed _ roger federer. one person i know who will be very

cathedral. in the past i have been a couple of marriage proposals taking place in here. we had this discussion last year and the answer is still no. we have only just met. i love kew gardens, it is the best bit. that has warmed my heart. a chilly start to the day. the forecast for the next few days is a mild one. tomorrow and the next day, temperatures will be well above average for the time of year. today we are in between two weather fronts. one is pushing away down towards the near continent and another is coming in from the atlantic. in between a fair bit of cloud in the north and the west. for the rest of us mere skies, hence low temperatures, and we will start off with a fair bit of sunshine. cloud is thick enough to produce drizzle. some shadows in the far north west. that will be usurped by the weather front bringing in rain. it will be windy in the northern half of country today. breezes as we can other south. temperatures tend to 13 north to south. in the evening and overnight still windy in the north. cloudy for a lot of us. the cloud that can afford drizzle along the coasts and hills in the south—west of england, north west of england as well. we will have the rain in north and north—western parts of scotland. in the clear skies, that is where temperatures will fall away as low as three degrees. in the west temperatures will hold up around 10 degrees. tomorrow for all of us it will be a cloudy day. also windy across—the—board. drizzle coming out of the thickest cloud. rain moving across the north and north—west of scotland. some breaks in eastern scotland. some breaks in eastern scotland and eastern england. we could hit 17 degrees in aberdeenshire tomorrow. across north—east england we could also see 16 degrees. the average at the time of year north to south is seven to 11. friday, very similar temperatures are expected. still on the high side for the time of year. on friday not as cloudy across england and wales but brighter in northern ireland. rain moving across parts of northern scotland. it will also be less windy. if you like your weather on the mild side, by the time we get to sunday, temperatures will slip once again. getting colder. we will talk to you again just after eight o'clock. it was almost three years ago when we met heather sharp, as she and 11 other military wives were preparing to go to chile for the challenge of a lifetime climbing the world's highest active volcano. well, they made it and now theirjourney is being made into a documentary. let's take a look. there is a stereotype of military wives that we all stay at home, it is all about coffee mornings. you could not immoral. —— the more wrong. we are 12 women from all over the country, some have not even left the country, some have not even left the uk before. here we arejust about to climb the world's highest volcano. the tension is already running quite high. my brain felt like it was swelling and swelling and swelling and it was

talk us through these all—important numbers? yeah, good morning. this won't come a massive surprise. inflation jumping to a.2% for the month of october, the highest point it has been for decade. we saw the pattern emerging over the summer, inflation at 3.2% in august, 3.1% in september. predictions now it will go even higher come all the way up to 5%, the spring. why it isn't happening? it is driven globally by the pressure on oil and gas and that is tripping through the system, being passed on to energy bills, transportation costs. domestically, an increase in demand on housing and furniture, going out to restaurants and hotels again en masse, that is driving up prices. does it matter? well, yeah, but —— because every household is feeling it somewhere. a petrol at the pump soaring to £1.a6 per litre. and your grocery shopping has probably gone up by about £8 every week compared to a year ago. those who remember the 19705 will say it was nowhere like it was then when it peaked at 25%, but it is significant because it is unlikely your wages will be going up at the same rate as inflation, and there was pressure on pensions to keep up the pressure on individuals to take money away from their pension pots monthly. a little bit of inflation is a good thing. it shows the economy is developing and improving, but if it gets out of control, things become unavoidable. pressure now on the bank of england to make that switch, to increase interest rates, to encourage saving and deterrent spending. the big question now though, will they do that before christmas? thank you. we will talk to you later. the prime minister's plans to tighten the rules on second jobs or mp5 will be debated in parliament today as the row over sleaze continues. it follows weeks of mounting

english cricket is reeling following a day of evidence by the yorkshire bowler, azeem rafiq, who said racist abuse cost him his career. in an emotional testimony, rafiq told mps he often felt "isolated" and "humilated" by the offensive language he claimed he was constantly subjected to at yorkshire cricket club. some of what you are going to hear will be difficult to listen to. we have chosen to bleep some of the language he used in the testimony but its meaning and the impact it had on the player will be clear. pretty early on, me and other people from asian backgrounds, there were comments, such as make you lot sit over there near the toilets. elephant washers. the word bleep was used constantly. there seems to be an acceptance in the institution from the leaders and no—one ever stamped it out. to make one thing very clear, bleep is not banter, racism is not banter. till right at the end, i was in complete denial as to what was going on. it was only at the back end of 2017, when i lost my son, and i went, hold on a minute. i've seen other players who have family tragedies and get support beyond measure. i've just carried my son from the hospital to the graveyard and how i'm getting treated here is not right. to me, it became very clear that even myself, i'd been looking the other way. there was a real problem here, notjust in yorkshire throughout the country. and i'm going to be the one that's going to speak about this. the new yorkshire chairman lord patel said there is no quick fix to the problems, but the charge of institutional racism must be addressed head on. we're joined now by former england cricketer mark ramprakash and bbc asian network reporter ankur desai. morning to you both. thank you very much for talking to us. mark, if i could come to your festival. i think anyone who'll listen yesterday would have been deeply affected by what they had. i want festival your reaction to what you heard yesterday. i reaction to what you heard

himself and how he has handled herself throughout this situation when he first went public with the allegations. he faced a lot of witticism. as roger hutton the former chairman said, there was an attitude from yorkshire that it was not that bad and azeem rafiq is the one with the problem. he has come through this amazingly. he has shown such courage and bravery to stick to his guns and shine a light on what happened to him. i must stress he has been at pains to say he is looking for cultural change within the game on a wider context. he has said he is not looking to witchhunt certain individuals. had said he is not looking to witchhunt certain individuals.— certain individuals. had been in many cricket — certain individuals. had been in many cricket dressing - certain individuals.

or with malice. i think when... we have spoken about individuals coming forward. now that azeem rafiq has had courage to come forward, i think individuals must come forward if they believe their experience will help change organisations or county clubs for the positive, by all means. it is an incredibly tough thing to do by the sound of it. some may not want to do that. if they believe it can. positive change, then of course we want to hear their stories. listening yesterday to the evidence, you knew some of it privately already. you had heard from him direct. even some of the things

an issue is transferring into the professional game, transitioning into the professional game. for example my club side, in the 1980s, they were an all—white club. now it is the opposite. there were 50% to 60% of asian people. compared with the yorkshire situation, it appears to be segregated. transitioning into the professional game there is an issue and there is an underrepresentation of players and coaches and directors of cricket, people on the board and on the committee and that has to change. how do you change that? there are plenty of well—qualified candidates, thatis plenty of well—qualified candidates, that is for sure. such is the love of cricket from the salvation community that are presenting level three and level four coaching courses. there are plenty on those

committee, he did admit and rightly say that this has been such a fast moving story and events have happened so quickly, the ecb will had to review how it handles these situations. it is quite easy with hindsight to sort of make accusations and say they were slow to react. i guess they are still working that out. we had to take him at his word in saying the ecb had a zero tolerance policy towards racism and that they want to correct the situation as much as they can. it will take time. the appointment of lord patel is hugely positive. perhaps we will see some more appointments in the

autumnal colours, it covers about 300 acres also and is one of the few world heritage sites in london. this tree here, the oriental plane, is my particular favourite in this whole garden. that is because i planted it. last year on the 10th of december. i must say it is looking pretty good. what a pleasure and an honour to be able to do that! as john rightly said about the sun is beating down. it has been a cold start to the day, notjust here in london but generally across the country. forthe london but generally across the country. for the next few days what you will find as it will not be as cold busking on the money because they will be more cloud and by day we are looking at mild conditions for the time of year. what is happening again as we have a weather front clearing away from the south—east and another one coming in from the atlantic into the north west. where we have clear skies at night are the lowest temperatures. plaid big enough for drizzle. as the front comes enable me the way the showers. ? as the cloud enough. in the south we are looking at gentle breezes, if any at all the temperature widely between ten in the north and 13 in the south. this time of year the average is roughly about seven in the north to 11 in the south. through this evening and overnight once again it will be fairly cloudy. still quite windy in the north of the cloud enough for drizzle. we also have the rain coming across the north and north—west of scotland. where the cloud does remain broken it will be cold. temperatures falling to 83 degrees in some eastern areas. in the west under the cloud we are looking at a milder 10 degrees. tomorrow will be claudia for all of us. also a windy day for all of us as well. drizzle coming out of the biggest cloud in the west with rain crossing the north of scotland. where the cloud is spoken in eastern scotland and north—east england we could see temperatures getting as high as 16, 17 degrees. across—the—board tomorrow it will be very mild for the time of year. as we head on into friday not as cloudy across england and wales. it will be brighter with sunshine. brighter in northern ireland. rain and cloud in parts of scotland.
