Forensic teams have also been working while a Postmortem Examination has duty been held yesterday as well. Is due to have been yesterday. That is expected to continue today, the investigation, to piece together what has happened here. Separately here at the moment a community is wondering how on earth could Something Like this happen.

White thank you, frances. We will be back with you, frances. We will be back with you later in the programme. Union leaders have called on the government to hold an Emergency Summit to resolve the future of the hs2 rail line. They say urgent action is needed after the Prime Minister refused to commit to the completion of the birmingham to manchester leg. Our transport correspondent katy austin reports. Hs2, a railway costing tens of billions of pounds meant to make travel between major cities quicker and create more space on the rail network. Work continues on building the london to birmingham stretch, but questions have been swirling about whether other parts will be delayed or cut, particularly the stretch to manchester. While hs2 opponents argue its not worth the cost or disruption, there have been calls from businesses and politicians for ministers to reaffirm their commitment to the project. Today, unions have signed a Statement Calling for the potential benefits to the economy not to be squandered, arguing that constant chopping and changing showed disregard for levelling up. We need investment in our infrastructure. The West Coast Main Line is falling apart at the seams. Its crumbling, its a victorian system. We need to invest in our infrastructure and if we dont, then not only will we not see those potentialjobs coming into the economy, but theres a real risk that well endure economic decline in that part of the world. Speaking to the bbc yesterday, the Prime Minister did nothing to dispel growing speculation that hs2 plans could be scaled back further, re routing his answers to talk about more local transport improvements. Very large projects that take a long time are sometimes not the thing that people want us to prioritise, and i agree with them. We do need to prioritise the things that can make a difference quicker. Thats why potholes money is important. Its why local bus services are important. Removing congestion and pinch points are important. The conservative Party Conference begins this weekend in manchester. The Hs2 Construction Journey continues, but the destination is still unclear. Katy austin, bbc news. Rail passengers may face disruption today as members of the aslef Train Drivers Union start an overtime ban. Full Strike Action over pay and conditions is taking place tomorrow and next wednesday and will affect more than a dozen train companies. The leader of the Train Drivers Union has also not yet ruled out Strike Action continuing over christmas. A 32 year old man is being held by dutch police after three people were shot dead in rotterdam. The victims include a woman and her 14 year old daughter who were killed inside a home, which was set alight. The gunman then opened fire at the citys erasmus medical center, killing a 43 year old lecturer. More than one in 20 children are sleeping on the floor because they dont have a bed of their own. Thats according to new research by the charity barnardos, which says so called bed poverty is on the rise during the cost of living crisis. The government says its providing record levels of support to families. Financial analysts say more tax will be paid during this parliament than any since records began. The Institute For Fiscal Studies forecasts that taxes will amount to about 37 of National Income by the next General Election, a level not seen since the aftermath of the second world war. Our Political Correspondent Damian Grammaticus joins us now. They have done the maths on this, damian, and on the face of it, a lot of taxes being paid. Yes, they say historically, going back to 1900, the only times it has been higher is after the world wars and its proper records began after the second world war, they say this will be the highest level of tax we have seen in this country. So that is since 19118, since all of those records happened. The ifs is a very respected independent institute and it says the reasons for that are that there are, its not to do with the pandemic, or anything like that and the spending, its to do with demographic changes, pressure is on the health service, the need to spend on that, decisions to raise things Like Corporation tax and the wonderful tax as well. So they say thatis wonderful tax as well. So they say that is what has put us there. If you look compared to other developed countries, we are in the middle. What the treasury says is that the focus, the government says that the focus, the government says that the focus is on reducing inflation because it says that is effectively a tax cut for people. But the Opposition Parties of course are now seizing on this. The labour party saying there has been 13 years of low growth, britons are getting clobbered by 25 tax rises from the conservatives. Liberal democrats say that the conservatives have crashed the economy and are now making the public pray the price. The economy and are now making the public pray the price. More than 140 organisations and mps are calling on the government to start a consultation about introducing a Cheaper Energy tariff for the most vulnerable. It comes ahead of a drop in the unit cost of energy for all households this weekend. 0ur cost of living correspondent Colletta Smith reports. Energy bills will fall slightly this weekend. The new lower cap kicks in from the 1st of october, but this winter wont feel easier for most people. We have decided that the £200 of support for Household Energy bills will be doubled to £400 for everyone. Thats because the government isnt giving that extra £400 in monthly installments made to each household last winter. What they had committed to was consulting on the introduction of a social tariff. That more targeted support would allow certain groups to access cheaper prices to help them afford their bills. Social tariffs are already available for water, mobile and broadband contracts. Today, were seeing charities and Campaign Groupsjoin together to push the Prime Minister to act. The government say up to Three Million households will benefit from the £150 warm Home Discount and millions of vulnerable households will receive up to £900 in further cost of living payments. But theyve also said they will continue to keep all options under review for those most in need. At this point, its unlikely a consultation could be turned around in time to provide the tariff this winter. So the letter also calls for more immediate support for those struggling the most. Coletta smith, bbc news. A restaurant has been left badly damaged after it was rammed by a stolen digger. Cctv shows the stolen Construction Vehicle hitting the mucky duck, in nottinghamshire, several times. It left a gaping hole and a repair bill which the owner estimates at £200,000. Police are investigating. It is 12 minutes past six. In a couple of. In just a couple of days, young people who were conceived using Donated Sperm, eggs or embryos will have the right to know the identity of their donors for the first time. The new rule applies only to those who turn 18 from this sunday 0ctober1st onwards, and the uks Fertility Regulator is warning that access to the information wont be quick. This report is by tink llewellyn, who has a very personal connection to the issue. Hello, are you 0k . Good, thank you, you . Yeah, good thanks. Twins matthew and phoebe have always known they were conceived using a sperm donor. We know hes like a Second Generation born colombian. His height, his build, eye colour, hair colour, age. Some of his hobbies, i think photography, swimming and guitar. And his degree, i think was a masters in business. And thats pretty much everything they told us, really. But next year, when they turn 18, that will all change because theyll be able to apply for the name and the last known address of their donor. Ijust think its really cool that part of us is from a different country. So when we have a conversation at home, hes usually referred to as the colombian guy orjust. Or the dad or the sperm guy. Theres been many names. I suppose, when they are growing up as well. For their parents, sean and sarah, its a date theyve always known would come. We decided because the change in law was coming up in 2005 that we would wait to start ivf because for the sake of a few months l we just felt it wasnt fair on any l children we might have had to deny them that opportunity to find out who our donor was. But not everybody will benefit. Donor conceived people born before the law change wont have this right. I know because im one of them. I love this picture. This is one of my favorites. Me when i was little with him. I lost my dad last year and that encouraged me to start thinking about my donor family. For me, i always wanted to find siblings. I cant explain it, like, because nobody else knows how we feel because they are not Donor Conceived. For those of us born before 2005, we can get some basic non identifying details on our donors from the uks Fertility Regulator. And theyve also told me something thats really exciting. Its actually got the list of siblings that ive got. So ive got 16 altogether, which is totally bonkers. So its really weird. Ive always said i felt like ive got a sister and it actually says theres two females in 1995, which is the year im born so thats just mind blowing. And it gets better. I think ive actually tracked her down. She actually lives 20 minutes away from me. We text back a little bit back and forth, and weve actually decided a date to meet up, which is really, really nerve racking but really exciting at the same time. Im not the only one who has used other methods to try and find my donor family. Gary and his three daughters live in essex. About 1975. He Donated Sperm in the eighties and was recently contacted by a Donor Daughter who used investigators to find him. Were just kind of looking at each other. Its just. I can see it now. And she embraced me, i embraced her. It was very emotional, something that happened so long ago that i did. I could never dream that it would be like this. Ijust did not, i could not foresee it. Garys Donor Daughter didnt want to be identified on camera, but she did write us a letter that his third daughter, michelle, will read out to us. So it begins, i never thought my biological father would want to meet me, let alone be part of my life. I also wanted to know where did i come from . What was my father like . Does he look like me . Do i have siblings . Getting to know them has been amazing and i feel like they and gary were the missing part of me i love gary to bits and im so grateful for how hes treated me and the same goes to my sisters. Oh, that makes me feel so emotional. Im gon e its just really nice, its so lovely. Not everybody wants a relationship with a sperm or egg donor, but for those who do, things are about to change for the better. So when youre both 18 now, next year, are you going to apply for more information . Definitely. Yeah . And what are you hoping for to come out of that . Just to meet him, really. Oh, you want to meet him . Yeah. He gave us a wonderful gift. You know, weve goti two amazing children. You know, our lives are different as a result of that persons kindness. So it will be nice to shake him i by the hand and say thank you. Its a fascinating story, tink will be taking its a fascinating story, tink will be taking us its a fascinating story, tink will be taking us through its a fascinating story, tink will be taking us through the its a fascinating story, tink will be taking us through the story.

They will be be taking us through the story later on, they will be joining be taking us through the story later on, they will be joining us. And the documentary my sperm donor and me is available to watch now on bbc iplayer. Lets take a look at todays papers. The daily mirror quotes eliannes aunt saying she went to school and didnt come home. The times leads on analysis by the Institute For Fiscal Studies which found that tax rises introduced by the conservatives since the last election will be equivalent of 3500 per household by the next election. Councils will be stopped from introducing new 20 mile per hour zones under a plan for motorists set to be unveiled by the Prime Minister at this weekends conservative Party Conference, the Daily Telegraph reports. And the guardian features an image of the famous 300 year old Sycamore Gap Tree, which was felled. A 16 year old boy has been arrested. Well be at the sight with more on this, later in the programme.

He said, he was miserable to work with onset, he said, i was furious because they would not let me think on the film and the soundtrack. I had worked on my voice for so long. He said the only reason i did this bleep thing was so that i could do a musical onstage on film. He was livid.

H most children have been back at school for a few weeks now, so theyve probably lost one or two items of uniform but hopefully it wont take 20 years to get them back. Mine have thats how long one jumper was sitting on the roof of Huxley Primary, near chester, before it was discovered during repairs. Thanks to social media and a good Old Fashioned name tag its owner was tracked down straightaway. Ian haslam has the story. This is huxley cofe primary school, based in the quaint Rural Cheshire Village of the same name. It was here about 20 years ago that a young boy called Tommy Crank Saw his schooljumper for the last time. Thats because it was here gathering moss on the school roof. Its been hilarious, to be honest. I have had so many people contacting me today about it alljust interested to find out who tommy crank is. Rachel put a post on social media to find the now not so little tommy, shown here in his school days, quite possibly wearing the very same jumper. 0ur posts usually get about 13 likes. This one has had an awful lot of likes today and lots of comments as well from the local community saying, you know, the importance of labelling your clothes, which is very important. Yeah, this label has lasted, hasnt it . It has lasted 20 years. Ive spoken to tommy crank on the phone this morning and he is now 27 and he contacted me and said he thinks its hilarious that his jumper has been found on the roof. And it did tell me the story behind the jumper as well. And what they did is they used to throw it from one side of the building to the next side of the building and try and catch it on the other side. So the building was a little bit slimmer then, but there was a flat roof they used to throw it over and obviously he never got his over caretaker andy is the man who discovered the jumper. Normally find pop bottles, tennis balls, footballs, come across this beauty today. Its horrible, innit . Yeah, it was in a ball, tied up, covered in moss. I was just about to put it in the bin then i got the head teacher and she come to have a look at it and thats it. It just exploded from there. Wheres mejumper, wheres mejumper . So what did the Huxley Primary pupils of today make of the current most famous jumper in cheshire . Right, kids. Here is tommy crank� s jumper. Does anybody want to try it on . Not me. Definitely not. It must be filled with spiders, who would wear it . It must be filled with mould. Apparently they were playing a game where they scrunched jumpers up and tried to throw them over the roof. Its weird. Tommy crank must have been really bad at throwing. Do you want to try it on, seriously . Little tommy crank� s jumper� s not going anywhere just yet, though. But he does say he will come here to the school to collect it in the next couple of weeks or so. Im going to go and wash my hands at this point. Wheres mejumper, wheres mejumper .

The Scrap Dealers have said that theyre so full at the moment with all the cars that have been coming in, that they dont have the ability to scrap anything at the moment and in fact my car hasnt even been registered at the Scrap Dealership yet.

Disruption to trains is expected today as an overtime ban by members of the aslef union begins. Members will also walk out on saturday, with cancellations and reduced services expected. Aslef, which is the Train Drivers Union, has been locked in a long running dispute with the government over pay and conditions. And theres lots more detail about the upcoming strikes and which lines are affected on the bbc news website and the bbc news app. Lets take a look at the tubes for this time of the morning. Theres minor delays on the 0verground, otherwise a good service now onto the weather with sara thornton. Morning to you. A really mild start this morning across london and the south east, we have had some overnight rain. Till a little bit of cloud lingering here and there out towards the east that it is clearing away. A lot of sunshine developing and then a fine day ahead of us today. The winds on the breezy side, lessening all the time and a top temperature of 20 or 21 celsius taking us to 70. Fahrenheit. Temperatures will take a tumble compared to the nightjust gone. Nothing like a fast but in sheltered rural spot out towards the suburbs, temperatures will be high single figures and it will feel autumnal tomorrow morning. Through the coming days, low pressure towards the north and west trying to push frontal systems our way, High Pressure in the south at first and not much in the south at first and not much in the way of rain on these systems. Temperatures above average for the time of year in the coming days. A lot of sunshine and dry weather, splash of rain start next week. Thats it for now more on the bbc news app and on Bbc Radio London where there is regular bulletins hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and sarah campbell. Businesses in england wont be allowed to sell or supply a range of Single Use Plastics from this sunday. Were talking about things like plates, cutlery and Polystyrene Cups. Bens at a Recycling Plant in newcastle to tell us more. Good morning, are you there . Good morninu. Good morning, are you there . Good morning yes. Good morning, are you there . Good morning. Yes, we good morning, are you there . Good morning. Yes, we are good morning, are you there . Good morning. Yes, we are seeing a delivery here of thrown out plastic items that are coming here to be recycled. They are being added to that pile. Its some of the 6000 tonnes of plastic that gets recycled here every single year. The problem is a lot of plastics dont end up here. They dont end up being recycled, they get thrown out and end up in landfill. To reduce the amount of plastic that gets thrown out and takes years to decompose, there is a ban on single use plastic items in england coming in from this sunday which will apply to all sorts of businesses. It will cover things like single use cutlery, Plastic Plates, Polystyrene Cups. The reason is we have a bit of an addiction. In england, we use 2. 7 million items of single use cutlery, most of it plastic, every year. More than 700 million single use Plastic Plates, a tiny fraction, 10 ends up being recycled. The idea of the ban is to try and reduce plastic waste. Scotland introduced a similar ban in june last year and in wales, a ban will come in at the end of october. Some of it will not take effect until 2026. Some of it will not take effect until2026. Let some of it will not take effect until 2026. Let mejust some of it will not take effect until 2026. Let me just a some of it will not take effect until 2026. Let mejust a part in the way here. The striker stepped out of the way. The rules in england will be enforced by local councils and Trading Standards officers but there is concern that businesses are not ready or not aware. Polystyrene and plastic, the packaging of choice for the high street. From next week, you wont be able to eat with one of these or eat out of some of these type of packages. Its very confusing, though, for shopkeepers. Some of them didnt even know about the ban until we came in and told them about it. I dont know how much we have, a lot. To be honest with you, i dont hear anything about it. Thats the first time, you guys come in and youre saying something new for me, i dont have anything before. Across the road, jalal� s bought up to two weeks supply of polystyrene boxes and says the wholesalers are still full of the soon to be banned packaging. I have been to the warehouse yesterday. They have everything like what i have, fork and a box, they have it, still they have it. So what has changed . For consumers buying ready to eat food all Plastic Cutlery and polystyrene packaging is banned. But more substantial plastic containers like this one can still be used. Yes, it is exempting the main plastic box, which is the big culprit in the takeaway industry. In the uk we probably use about 500 million of those a year and probably a couple of billion in europe alone. In the takeaways, those using banned packaging face fines if they dont find alternatives by monday. Well, we announced the ban way back injanuary. I think the really important thing to remember is we want to work with businesses. It doesnt mean takeaways will go out of business. Theyve just got to shift to containers that are going to fit in with the new system to help basically save the planet. The idea is simple, to cut plastic waste, but is the new legislation too complicated to swallow . Nick garnett, bbc news, leeds. Just have a look and this container, this summer plastic your soul being dumped earlier, the sort of things that arrive here get shredded and shorted and then ultimately recycled. We cant have the machines on because there are so noisy you would not be able to hear me. Joining me now is david mahoney, the chief Operations Officer of this Recycling Plant.

More than 140 organisations and mps are calling on the government to start a consultation about introducing a Cheaper Energy tariff for the most vulnerable. Tariff for the most vulnerable. It comes ahead of a drop in the unit cost of energy for all households this weekend. Our cost of living correspondent Colletta Smith reports. Energy bills will fall slightly this weekend. The new lower cap kicks in from the 1st of october, but this winter wont feel easier for most people. We have decided that the £200 of support for Household Energy bills will be doubled to £400 for everyone. Thats because the government isnt giving that extra £400 in monthly installments made to each household last winter. What they had committed to was consulting on the introduction of a social tariff. That more targeted support would allow certain groups to access cheaper prices to help them afford their bills. Social tariffs are already available for water, mobile and broadband contracts. Today, were seeing charities and Campaign Groupsjoin together to push the Prime Minister to act. The government say up to Three Million households will benefit from the £150 warm Home Discount and millions of vulnerable households will receive up to £900 in further cost of living payments. But theyve also said they will continue to keep all options under review for those most in need. At this point, its unlikely a consultation could be turned around in time to provide the tariff this winter. So the letter also calls for more immediate support for those struggling the most. Colletta smith, bbc news. And well be speaking to National Energy action, a charity which campaigns for an end to fuel poverty, for more on this story in ten minutes. Union leaders have called on the government to hold an Emergency Summit to resolve the future of the hs2 rail line.

Hs2, a railway costing tens of billions of pounds meant to make travel between major cities quicker and create more space on the rail network. Work continues on building the london to birmingham stretch, but questions have been swirling about whether other parts will be delayed or cut, particularly the stretch to manchester. While hs2 opponents argue its not worth the cost or disruption, there have been calls from businesses and politicians for ministers to reaffirm their commitment to the project. Today, unions have signed a Statement Calling for the potential benefits to the economy not to be squandered, arguing that constant chopping and changing showed disregard for levelling up. We need investment in our infrastructure. The West Coast Main Line is falling apart at the seams. Its crumbling, its a victorian system. We need to invest in our infrastructure and if we dont, then not only will we not see those potentialjobs coming into the economy, but theres a real risk that well endure economic decline in that part of the world. Speaking to the bbc yesterday, the Prime Minister did nothing to dispel growing speculation that hs2 plans could be scaled back further, re routing his answers to talk about more local transport improvements. Very large projects that take a long time are sometimes not the thing that people want us to prioritise, and i agree with them. We do need to prioritise the things that can make a difference quicker. Thats why potholes money is important. Its why local bus services are important. Removing congestion and pinch points are important. The conservative Party Conference begins this weekend in manchester. The Hs2 Construction Journey continues, but the destination is still unclear. Katy austin, bbc news.

He struck in two separate shootings. Our netherlands correspondent Anna Holligan is in rotterdam. Explain to us, this was the scene of the last of those three shootings . Exactly, students here are waking up to the news that not only was one of their lecturers shot dead in a classroom, a 43 year old man, in this building, but one of their fellow members, another student, a 32 year old man from rotterdam, is the main suspect who is being held by police. Last night he was named, known to the authorities, he had a previous conviction for animal cruelty, he was named as fouad l. The first shootings took place in an apartment block about a mile from here. 39 year old woman and her 14 year old daughter were killed, the suspect then set fire to the building and came here and went on a rampage. Doctors, staff, patients were evacuated, swat teams were on the scene. The gunman travelled to the scene. The gunman travelled to the hospital, it looks as though this attack was targeted and he was acting on some kind of personal rather than political vendetta. Details emerged overnight, there may have been a missed opportunity. There was a warning from the Public Prosecution service about previous concerning behaviour, psychotic, they described it as, behaviour from they described it as, behaviour from the suspect. Questions are being asked about whether more could have been done sooner to prevent these attacks from happening. Attacks from happening. Anna, for the moment. Attacks from happening.

In the 1840s, a massive daily festival took place at stonehenge which dragged in thousands of people from the local people Dahlia Festival. The idea of this is to create those scenes and amongst that we have got local charities and local people involved keeping everything very close to stonehenge. We will be taking a look at some of the other features throughout the morning as well as the tryless ons the arches themselves. Lets have a look at the forecast first. It was a wet night overnight, today will be a story of a few showers and a fair bit of sunshine, a lot more than yesterday. The mist and fog patches are content with this morning, the north of scotland has a strong winds, gusting to 50 miles an hourin strong winds, gusting to 50 miles an hour in the hebrides and islands.

The Rain Spreads Into Sunday Morning before clearing. Lets return now to those calls for a Cheaper Energy tariff for the most vulnerable households. More than 140 organisations and mps are calling on the government to start a consultation on a so called social tariff. We are nowjoined by adam scorer, the head of the fuel Poverty Charity National Energy action. Good morning, thank you for your time this morning. Some people will have a notion of what a social tariff will be, can you give us the basis of what it is he would seek, what would it be like in practice . Your package is pretty accurate, you are talking about a discount at a cheaper tariff for eligible households, on lower incomes, who are susceptible to the cold, but baked into the Regulatory Framework of the energy market. Though not ad hoc or crisis response, baked in so we get the greatest level of Price Protection for those who are most vulnerable. It can happen in the number of ways which is why the government needs to consult on the options, we would like to see it as a discount on the bill. Applied at source by the energy company, discounted for the bill so people are more confident and trusting, able to spend the money they need to to keep homes warm. What able to spend the money they need to to keep homes warm. Able to spend the money they need to to keep homes warm. What do you know about the governments to keep homes warm. What do you know about the governments response to keep homes warm. What do you know about the governments response to i about the governments response to this .

By rishi sunak and by others, as a way of trying to embed support into the system, but it has gone quiet said. We had messages and a few comments that they be they were not thinking of doing it. The question is one of urgency. We know a social tariff will not come in this winter so government has to provide targeted Financial Support this winter. Unless you bake in a greater protection for the most vulnerable, this isjust going to be a loop. We will repeat this continually. Analysts say we will not get back to precrisis Energy Prices this decade. This is a problem which will recur year after year is a government needs to get something in place that as possible. So we know the government point, when we have spoken to them, to the £150 warm Home Discount, and also vulnerable households receiving £900 in further cost of living payments. Those are real things, arent they . How is it that that is not sufficient . How is it that that is not sufficient . They are really important. Sufficient . They are really important, the sufficient . They are really important, the warm i sufficient . They are really. Important, the warm home sufficient . They are really important, the warm Home Discount is a precrisis measure, it has gone up £10 in the last ten years. Energy bills now even with the price cap coming down 50 higher than they were at the precrisis level. Energy debt is 70 higher than it was precrisis, 2. 25 billion pounds of embedded debt. If you speak to our clients, they have challenges with rent, childrens clothes, food, heating, water bills, every single thing, 50 of clients are all negative budgets cannot afford the essentials. We need to make sure that people can afford the energy that people can afford the energy that would give them a warm and safe home. Ad hoc measures are not enough, we have got to give something into the heart of the Energy System which bills and is it in the Energy System. Can Energy System which bills and is it in the Energy System. In the Energy System. Can i check something in the Energy System. Can i check something with in the Energy System. Can i check something with you . In the Energy System. Can i check something with you . If in the Energy System. Can i check| something with you . If somebody in the Energy System. Can i check. Something with you . If somebody is paying less, that means somebody else will pay more, presumably. Who ultimately, are you saying the government should be subsidising the Energy Companies to make this discount available . How would this work in practice, who is actually going to pay for it . Work in practice, who is actually going to pay for it . Another reason why government going to pay for it . Another reason why government needs going to pay for it . Another reason why government needs to going to pay for it . Another reason why government needs to consult i going to pay for it . Another reason i why government needs to consult on the mechanisms. We need to look at progressive ways of funding it, you can look at the oil and gas windfall tax, those levies that are available, it could be more progressive to pay from general taxation, we hope it would not be subsidised cost across consumers. That is why you have to consult on this. We are not saying do this or do that. Work through the options methodically, try to get something which is mandated an automatic that gets costs back to precrisis levels for vulnerable households go its targeted and can be paid in a progressive way. Unless you start doing it now, you will end up with a Budget Rushjob at doing it now, you will end up with a Budget Rush Job at the end of it. All of those questions are really valid, the government needs to work through them quite starting a Consultation Process now. Ads, through them quite starting a Consultation Process now. B.

The government frankly has not started yet . I have no idea. The government knows i frankly has not started yet . I have i no idea. The government knows this winter is every bit as bad if not worse than last winter. We know the lessons from the really generous huge Energy Support scheme and the energy price guarantee, we know who did not get support and who did, 1 million households who should have got support last year did not get it. £440 million has been sent back to the treasury which should have be given to the households. We know the problem, we know the delivery mechanisms, ijust problem, we know the delivery mechanisms, i just assumed problem, we know the delivery mechanisms, ijust assumed they problem, we know the delivery mechanisms, i just assumed they are waiting hoping they do not have to. Its never too late to provide the support but you will be too late to get a good package of support in place.

There are hundreds of millions of trees in the uk but few of them as beloved or as well known as the sycamore on Hadrians Wall. On wednesday night it was deliberately felled. Police have arrested a 16 year old boy on suspicion of criminal damage. A landmark for well over 200 years, the tree stood between two hills on Hadrians Wall in the Northumberland National park. For obvious reasons, it became known as the Sycamore Gap Tree. Some online maps have already changed that name name to Sycamore Stump after it was felled. Many people have fond memories of the location. Stu meech is a photographer who took this image on a clearjanuary night, with the milky way visible in the background. Heather sutherland scattered her brothers ashes under the sycamore� s branches and says its loss makes her feel that she is grieving all over again. As well as attracting millions of tourists over the years, many of whom have captured it on camera, the tree was even immortalised in a major hollywood film. Alison freeman can tell us more. Morning, alison. It is a really sad today. We heard from those comments there and all of the comments from people that this treatment so much to so many people. This tree meant so much. It to so many people. This tree meant so much. To so many people. This tree meant so much. It has been hugely emotional and meant so much. It has been hugely emotional and its meant so much. It has been hugely emotional and its really meant so much. It has been hugely emotional and its really sad emotional and its really sad looking at it, that stamped with the remainder of the famous tree behind it. There has been a huge outpouring of grief. This is essentially a crime scene there, you can see the police take. As you saw, a single flower laid by somebody, in memorial for the tree. We have been going out and asking people finding out how they felt about the tree and looking back at its very special and interesting history. Its been well known locally for almost 200 years, but it became world famous thanks to hollywood. In 1991, sycamore gap featured in the blockbuster robin hood prince of thieves. The actor who was chased up the tree unaware of its impact. The actor who was chased up the tree aware of its impact. Theyre not playing by the rules, boy. Deer dont climb trees. Right across the uk, therell be people who. Who just were really in love with that movie and. Will be sad its gone. But overnight on wednesday, this icon of northumberland, this piece of history was cut down. Everyone who passed used to have their photo taken next to it. And its silhouette was the perfect model for the Northern Lights. The trees untimely demise has shocked the locals and visitors alike. It does have that element that weve lost something huge. It filled me with immediate sense of grief. Everybodys sort of feeling very bereft about it, you know . I mean, who would do it, for Goodness Sake . This is a place where people come to celebrate birthdays and proposals. People come to have poignant moments, to scatter ashes. Ive already talked to numerous photographers. Its the inspiration behind art and film and poetry and so much more. And its gone. Its been taken from us, and ive no idea why anybody would do that. Artists and photographers were quick to talk of their sadness. I was devastated, and i actually drove past it to have a little look to see if it was true. Because, of course, you see a story like that and you think its fake news. But when i wandered past, ijust couldnt believe the landscape had completely changed. I was actually moved to tears almost. I did nearly cry. Its like someones died, really. Its thought, you know, everybodys talking about it everywhere. So it is tragic and it will be missed. But it seems all is not lost. So is there anything that can be done at all . Its a very healthy tree. We can see that now because of the condition of the stump. It may well regrow a coppice from the stump. And if we could nurture that, then that might be one of the best outcomes. And then we keep the tree.

Yes, it is a natural thing that trees come down in the storms, we would not have wanted that but we could have accepted that easier than the fact that it was deliberately failed.

You cannot enter a gift shop anywhere in northumberland without seeing an image of sycamore gap, it has been a real inspiration to artists, writers and photographers, but above all an inspiration to people.

Thats it for now more on the bbc news app and on Bbc Radio London where there is regular bulletins through out the morning. Ill back with you in half in an hour but for now lets go hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and sarah campbell. We may get a clue about scotlands political direction next week when a by election takes place in rutherglen and hamilton west, on the outskirts of glasgow. Its last mp, the snps margaret ferrier, was effectively sacked for breaking covid laws, and other parties will be keen to take the seat. 0ur Political Correspondent nick eardley went to find out more. So today were making our double cream vanilla. Thats our top selling flavour. More than a0 flavours are made at this Ice Cream Factory in rutherglen. A wide range of options, a bit like the political offering. Whats your favorite flavour . My favorite flavour is Chocolate Fudge brownie. That is a good shout. Do you do mint choc chip . Yes, here is a mint chocolate right here. Alex helps run the business. Its been in herfamily for over a century. But like small firms everywhere, rising prices are proving tricky. Right now here in rutherglen, i would say the cost of living is the biggest challenge for everyone at the moment, notjust us as a business, but the general public. Monthly, we are more than double the bill of what we were before for gas and electricity. I think people especially want to know that somebody is going to address these issues and do it quickly. The cost of living looms large over so many decisions, but this vote is proving a big test of scotlands political direction. The by election here has become one of the most important in scotland for years. For the first time in a decade or so, snp dominance of scottish politics is in question. And this seat is a must win for labour because they want to show that theyre on the verge of a comeback, which could be crucial to helping win a General Election. It is very important for us, theres no getting away from that. For the labour party, it matters that we win in scotland to have the mandate, to have the authority to take the whole of the United Kingdom forward. I dont want to win a General Election without winning more significantly in scotland. The supports there . Absolutely. The snp leader hasnt had an easy first few months in the job. There was a High Profile Police probe into Party Funding that saw Nicola Sturgeon arrested, then released without charge and the last mp here was sacked for breaking covid laws. I think labour do present a challenge to us. Im not complacent about that challenge. Weve been in government for 16 years and of course, theres challenges. But 16 years in, with probably the most difficult six months my party has faced, we are still leading in the polls. Labour are kind of popping the champagne corks, putting up the bunting, are complacent. Theyve always taken the vote for scotland for granted. The snp are ahead in national polls, but in this constituency labour are confident. There are, though, plenty of others vying for support. We are different to the snp and labour. Snp and labour are voting usually quite the same when it comes to legislation here in holyrood. So if you want something different, vote for the scottish conservatives. Liberal democrats are growing again and my defining mission as leader is to give them a reason to vote for us and a candidate to vote for. Green and snp voters dont necessarily see eye to eye on things like how we regulate the oil and gas industry, how fast we can move in that transition in response to the climate emergency. People go to the polls here next thursday in a vote that will be closely watched for clues about whats going on in scottish politics and how it could help shape the next General Election. Nick eardley, bbc news, rutherglen. The rutherglen and hamilton by election takes place next thursday. For more information on the candidates standing, visit the bbc website.

Then we had the best vantage point. Then we had the traditional sing off between the fans on the first tee before the action got under way. Not even at 7am here and already it was deafening. Loads and loads of fancy dress here, lots of stars and stripes and dots of captain americas but also a lot of european colours as well.

At the rugby world cup, japan have enabled england to reach the quarterfinals with a game to spare, despite not kicking a ball last night. It was due to japan beating samoa in toulouse. It also means that japan keep their own quarterfinal hopes alive with this narrow victory over a battling samoa, Who Fininshed The Match with 1a men. Japan face argentina next weekend in what is likely to be a winner takes all clash to see who joins england in the last eight. Scotland are the only home nation involved this weekend and will be expected to beat romania tomorrow, and so are changing the team. Indeed, 13 changes to the side that thrashed tonga. Its because theyre using this one to try out players who want to force their way into contention to face ireland in their must win final pool fixture a week later. I think theres always pressure or expectation when you play for scotland. Youre going to have to play your best rugby, thats what the jersey demands of you. It will be a different game than what most of these players are used to, so the important thing is focusing on each moment and us playing as a team, us doing the work off the ball, the effort and physicality, getting that right. 0ur game should flow much more on the back of that. There has been another blow for english domestic rugby asjersey reds, who won the championship last season, have gone out of business. Players and staff were told yesterday that the club was closing down. After 11 years in the second tier, and a decade as a professional outfit, they face liquidation unless Emergency Funding can be secured. The squad had been due to fly to cornwall for a cup game tomorrow but were instead told that they were out of a job. The player coach tweeted, absolutely gutted, unbelievable set of lads. Rugby community, please, please help the lads out. That was one of the tweets from the players in short, its fair to say. Hopefully somebody can help them out. The highs and lows of sport.

More than 140 organisations and mps are calling on the government to start a consultation about introducing a Cheaper Energy tariff for the most vulnerable. It comes ahead of a drop in the unit cost of energy for all households this weekend. Our cost of living correspondent Colletta Smith reports. Energy bills will fall slightly this weekend. The new lower cap kicks in from the 1st of october, but this winter wont feel easier for most people. We have decided that the £200 of support for Household Energy bills will be doubled to £400 for everyone. Thats because the government isnt giving that extra £400 in monthly installments made to each household last winter. What they had committed to was consulting on the introduction of a social tariff. That more targeted support would allow certain groups to access cheaper prices to help them afford their bills. Social tariffs are already available for water, mobile and broadband contracts. Today, were seeing charities and Campaign Groupsjoin together to push the Prime Minister to act. We know that a social tariff wont come in this winter is a government has to provide targeted sound that shall support this winter. But unless you bake in greater protection for the most vulnerable, this is just going to protection for the most vulnerable, this isjust going to be on loop, we will repeat this continually. Analysts say we will not get back to pre crisis Energy Prices this decade. This is a problem which occurs year after year which is why government needs to get something in place that works as fast as they can. The government say up to Three Million households will benefit from the £150 warm Home Discount and millions of vulnerable households will receive up to £900 in further cost of living payments. But theyve also said they will continue to keep all options under review for those most in need. At this point, its unlikely a consultation could be turned around in time to provide the tariff this winter. So the letter also calls for more immediate support for those struggling the most. Colletta smith, bbc news. Union leaders have called on the government to hold an Emergency Summit to resolve the future of the hs2 rail line. They say urgent action is needed after the Prime Minister refused to commit to the completion of the birmingham to manchester leg. Our transport correspondent katy austin reports. Hsz, a railway costing tens of billions of pounds meant to make travel between major cities quicker and create more space on the rail network. Work continues on building the london to birmingham stretch, but questions have been swirling about whether other parts will be delayed or cut, particularly the stretch to manchester. While hs2 opponents argue its not worth the cost or disruption, there have been calls from businesses and politicians for ministers to reaffirm their commitment to the project. Today, unions have signed a Statement Calling for the potential benefits to the economy not to be squandered, arguing that constant chopping and changing showed disregard for levelling up. We need investment in our infrastructure. The West Coast Main Line is falling apart at the seams. Its crumbling, its a victorian system. We need to invest in our infrastructure and if we dont, then not only will we not see those potentialjobs coming into the economy, but theres a real risk that well endure economic decline in that part of the world. Speaking to the bbc yesterday, the Prime Minister did nothing to dispel growing speculation that hs2 plans could be scaled back further, re routing his answers to talk about more local transport improvements. Very large projects that take a long time are sometimes not the thing that people want us to prioritise, and i agree with them. We do need to prioritise the things that can make a difference quicker. Thats why potholes money is important. Its why local bus services are important. Removing congestion and pinch points are important.

That all changed when they started the Dahlia Festival is here, we will be finding out more about that and why there is one this weekend and about half an hour. But lets get on with the forecast first. A beautiful start of the day, blue skies and more of you will see sunshine. After yesterdays grey skies, some wildfire smoke pushed into the cloud, that has gone away and the rain has gone as well, and todayis and the rain has gone as well, and today is sunny spells with one or two showers. In Northern Scotland, hebrides and the Western Isles is windy, 60 miles an hour in gusts and a few showers. Further south, one or two showers but most places dry and clear, and pleasant in the sunshine. A bit fresh in the breeze this morning but temperatures high teens or low 20s through the afternoon. Tonight, we will see the skies remain clear across many parts for a while at least, some mist and fog patches and with wind falling lighter, itll be a cool nights, temperatures into single figures. Nothing untoward for the time of year but cooler than we have been used to. It leads into a fine start for the weekend for many, a lot of dry and bright weather around but the far South Of England and the far north of scotland is where the dry and bright weather will last. Rain in Northern Ireland will spread to all parts through the afternoon, come into Southern Scotland, Northern Ireland and the north of england, as well as west wales. While in the south, temperatures into the 20s, and warmer still on sunday. We will have more from these wonderful surroundings in half an hour. It does look stunning, thank you. In just a couple of days, young people who were conceived using Donated Sperm, eggs or embryos will have the right to know the identity of their donors for the first time. The new rule applies only to those who turn 18 from this sunday, and the uks Fertility Regulator is warning that access to the information wont be quick. This report is by tink llewellyn, who has a very personal connection to the issue. Hello, are you 0k . Good, thank you, you . Yeah, good thanks. Twins matthew and phoebe have always known they were conceived using a sperm donor. We know hes like a Second Generation born colombian. His height, his build, eye colour, hair colour, age. Some of his hobbies, i think photography, swimming and guitar. And his degree, i think was a masters in business. And thats pretty much everything they told us, really. But next year, when they turn 18, that will all change because theyll be able to apply for the name and the last known address of their donor. Ijust think its really cool that part of us is from a different country. So when we have a conversation at home, hes usually referred to as the colombian guy orjust. Or the dad or the sperm guy. Theres been many names. I suppose, when they are growing up as well. For their parents, sean and sarah, its a date theyve always known would come. We decided because the change in law was coming up in 2005 that we would wait to start ivf because for the sake of a few months l we just felt it wasnt fair on any l children we might have had to deny them that opportunity to find out who our donor was. But not everybody will benefit. Donor conceived people born before the law change wont have this right. I know because im one of them. I love this picture. This is one of my favourites. Me when i was little with him. I lost my dad last year and that encouraged me to start thinking about my donor family. For me, i always wanted to find siblings. I cant explain it, like, because nobody else knows how we feel because they are not Donor Conceived. For those of us born before 2005, we can get some basic non identifying details on our donors from the uks Fertility Regulator. And theyve also told me something thats really exciting. Its actually got the list of siblings that ive got. So ive got 16 altogether, which is totally bonkers. So its really weird. Ive always said i felt like ive got a sister and it actually says theres two females in 1995, which is the year im born so thats just mind blowing. And it gets better. I think ive actually tracked her down. She actually lives 20 minutes away from me. We text back a little hit back and forth, and weve actually decided a date to meet up, which is really, really nerve racking but really exciting at the same time. Im not the only one who has used other methods to try and find my donor family. Gary and his three daughters live in essex. About 1975. He Donated Sperm in the eighties and was recently contacted by a Donor Daughter who used investigators to find him. Were just kind of looking at each other. Its just. I can see it now. And she embraced me, i embraced her. It was very emotional, something that happened so long ago that i did. I could never dream that it would be like this. Ijust did not, i could not foresee it. Garys Donor Daughter didnt want to be identified on camera, but she did write us a letter that his third daughter, michelle, will read out to us. So it begins, i never thought my biological father would want to meet me, let alone be part of my life. I also wanted to know where did i come from . What was my father like . Does he look like me . Do i have siblings . Getting to know them has been amazing and i feel like they and gary were the missing part of me i love gary to bits and im so grateful for how hes treated me and the same goes to my sisters. Oh, that makes me feel so emotional. Im gon e its just really nice, its so lovely. Not everybody wants a relationship with a sperm or egg donor, but for those who do, things are about to change for the better. So when youre both 18 now, next year, are you going to apply for more information . Definitely. Yeah . And what are you hoping for to come out of that . Just to meet him, really. Oh, you want to meet him . Yeah. He gave us a wonderful gift. You know, weve goti two amazing children. You know, our lives are different as a result of that persons kindness. So it will be nice to shake him i by the hand and say thank you. And were nowjoined by tink llewellyn, and joanne adams, who runs the sperm bank at manchester fertility. Welcome to you both. Tink, there are so many things there are so important that this story. For you, hugely important, you lost your father last year, which clearly, thats a huge moment in someones life anyway but it prompted many questions for yourself and the beginning of a journey in a way. It beginning of a journey in a way.

Few of them as beloved or as well known as the sycamore on Hadrians Wall. On wednesday night, it was deliberately felled. Police have arrested a 16 year old boy on suspicion of criminal damage. A landmark for well over 200 years, the tree stood between two hills on Hadrians Wall in the Northumberland National park. For obvious reasons, it became known as the Sycamore Gap Tree. Some online maps have already changed that name to Sycamore Stump after it was felled. Many people have fond memories of the location. Stu meech is a photographer who took this image on a clearjanuary night, with the milky way visible in the background. He says he cant understand why someone would chop it down. Heather sutherland scattered her brothers ashes under the sycamores branches and says its loss makes herfeel that she is grieving all over again. As well as attracting millions of tourists over the years, many of whom have captured it on camera, the tree was even immortalised in a major hollywood film. Alison freeman can tell us more. Good morning. There is the tree, heartbreaking to look at. And the response we have had, this tree meant so much to so many people. You are right, its absolutely heartbreaking. The last time i was here, it was there in all its glory and it has been cut down in its prime. There is a lot of shock and disbelief. Its now a crime scene, police tape on the floor and a single flower has been left, much as if someone was grieving for something. We have been chatting to people in the area about how they feel about what has happened and looking back at the history of this very special tree. Its been well known locally for almost 200 years, but it became world famous thanks to hollywood. In 1991, sycamore gap featured in the blockbuster robin hood prince of thieves. The actor who was chased up the tree aware of its impact. Theyre not playing by the rules, boy. Deer dont climb trees. Right across the uk, therell be people who who just were really in love with that movie and will be sad its gone. But overnight on wednesday, this icon of northumberland, this piece of history was cut down. Everyone who passed used to have their photo taken next to it. And its silhouette was the perfect model for the Northern Lights. The trees untimely demise has shocked the locals and visitors alike. It does have that element that weve lost something huge. It filled me with immediate sense of grief. Everybodys sort of feeling very bereft about it, you know . I i mean, who would do it, for Goodness Sake . I this is a place where people come to celebrate birthdays and proposals. People come to have poignant moments, to scatter ashes. Ive already talked to numerous photographers. Its the inspiration behind art and film and poetry and so much more. And its gone. Its been taken from us, and ive no idea why anybody would do that. Artists and photographers were quick to talk of their sadness. I was devastated, and i actually drove past it to have a little look to see if it was true. Because, of course, you see a story like that and you think its fake news. But when i wandered past, ijust couldnt believe the landscape had completely changed. I was actually moved to tears almost. I did nearly cry. Its like someones died, really. Its thought, you know, everybodys talking about it everywhere. So it is tragic and it will be missed. But it seems all is not lost. So is there anything that can be done at all . Its a very healthy tree. We can see that now because of the condition of the stump. It may well regrow a coppice from the stump. And if we could nurture that, then that might be one of the best outcomes. And then we keep the tree. Im joined now by two people who this tree was incredibly special to, a local photographer and the high sheriff of northumberland. Starting with you, what was it you loved about this tree .

To update you on the police investigation, a 16 year old old boy has been detained and is helping them with their investigations but here are some photos to remind people of what the tree look like in its full glory. Such beautiful is. Really stunning pictures. And while it is good to know could potentially grow back, it will take hundreds of years to look as beautiful as it did. So many people getting in touch and upset about this, it was a special treat to so many people. Time is 8 41am and you will know this scene are very well, it remains intact for hundreds of years, we are looking at stonehenge just after 8 30am hundreds of years, we are looking at stonehengejust after 8 30am in hundreds of years, we are looking at stonehenge just after 8 30am in the sunshine were matt is for us this morning. This is stonehenge, one of the most recognisable sites in the uk. It was a site for a Cricket Match in the 1800s and then in 1842 started a run of dahlias festivals that boosted the popularity of stonehenge. English heritage are putting on a talia festival that starts properly today lots of dahlias on show back at the Visitor Centre and not that far away we have this is a stunning backdrop as well. Looking at the forecast, at the sun has come out here this morning with a bit of a breeze blowing up by the stones but for most of you, a decent friday in store, dry weather to come after a wet night for the majority, that has now eased away. You can see to the north of scotland here, an area of low pressure whipping up the winds this morning across the hebrides and the highlands, packing in the shower is, some of which could be thundery at times. That breeze will feel cooler. Heading south, fewer showers and across much of england and wales, are so few that temperatures will climb to the mid teens at even low 20s across the south eastern corner. Into the end of today, with clear skies, will see mist and fog patch forming tonight. The enter lighter as well. Cloud in the west later stopping temperatures drop too much but for the rest of us a fresher night than the rest of this week. Perhaps as low as three degrees in parts of scotland. Into the start of the weekend it will be saturday morning perhaps the best for the day ahead because we will see cloud increase through the day and rain in Northern Ireland, Southern Scotland mccumber north wales and western england. It will stay warm at the far north of scotland should be reasonable with showers and bright conditions compared to today and the wind is not a strong. That rain spreads across all parts through saturday and decays across southern counties into sunday. A zone of cloud and Market Conditions across the hills but sunshine coming through. Sunny spells with some showers most frequent in scotland but look at the temperatures, first day of october will see highs of around 2a, the warmer start to october are seen in around 12 years. That continues into the start of next week. Beautiful surroundings today, i have been place, we saw the dahlias and missed out on the talia crown but i will try and put that on the breakfast socials later today. Socials later today. Some people will not have socials later today. Some people will not have a socials later today. Some people will not have a clue socials later today.

Shes the Organ Virtuoso whose videos go viral on social media and now shes released her debut album. Tim muffett went to meet her in a rather special rehearsal room. Organ plays toccata and fugue in d minor byjs bach. Its 2am. Im at londons Royal Albert Hall. And anna lapwood is practising the organ. Anna, its 2 15am, that sounds amazing. Why are you playing here at this time of night . A very good question its 3am and im currently in the Royal Albert Hall all by myself. Look at this. Isnt that amazing . Its the only time we organists can get in and have the space to ourselves and play this amazing thing at full blast, because it really is very, very loud. And you cant be disturbing people while theyre trying to work. I started playing the organ when i was a teenager, i was about 1k, 15. What is it about this instrument . Its so complicated to look at, we have the stops, the full keyboard, the enormous pipes, why do you love it so much . Youre playing an entire building and that is something that never gets old. Whether youre playing really quietly butjust making the air shake a little bit or whether you have everything, all the stops pulled out and people are feeling it hit them in the chest. Anna wants to bring a very traditional instrument to a whole new audience. She started posting videos during lockdown. Now they often get millions of views. That was all actually down to a couple of girls choristers who i teach that turned to me one day and said, we really think you would be quite good at tiktok, have you thought of giving it a go . Can i have a go . Sure its about to go crazy thats what ive done and it seems to work. You have to tell me if this is right or wrong, ok . Im playing the organ for Benedict Cumberbatch. There are a few key videos that really stand out, at London Bridge station, you are playing the organ there and a Security Guard comes up with the most amazing voice. Operatic singing. I wasnt expecting an operatic voice from a Security Guard. This reminder that you just give people time and notjudging. I believe its around 8 of Organ Recitals are performed by women, a very, very low figure. How determined are you to change that . I see part of my role as trying to make it a place where the next generation of young, female organists feel comfortable and feel welcome. In a competition when i was 19 or so, one of the adjudicators said i needed to play more like a man, when i asked him what he meant, he said, play with more power and authority. I thought, im not sure about that. One issue about this instrument is its not like a violin, you cant carry it on a train, so surely only a finite number of people can play the organ . You say that but almost every church has an organ and i dont know any organist that isnt desperately hoping to encourage the next generation to play. What i always say is, if your child says they would like to try the organ, introduce them to the director of music there and ask if they can have a go. When you sit at Something Like this and get to play it, its infectious, you never want to let it go. Fantastic, that can become a really great. And her debut album luna is out today. Great.

Now hes hoping to inspire them with a passion for shakespeare, which can be a challenge for younger readers. Sir michaeljoins us now. Shakespeare can be a challenge when you are young and trying to cross it . , you are young and trying to cross it . V, r v, v, you are young and trying to cross it . V, v, it . Not ust when you are young the thin it . Notjust when you are young the thin is to it . Notjust when you are young the thing is to encourage it . Notjust when you are young the thing is to encourage children it . Notjust when you are young the thing is to encourage children to thing is to encourage children to take that first step to go to the theatre. I was a lucky child, my mum was an actor and my dad was too, up my grandma as well, the dna is all there, so i was brought up that the theatre was a fun thing to go to. But even then i had an auntie that wanted to encourage me more, she was a teacher, she gave me a book called the tales shakespeare which was to pick that for a couple of hundred years that young people used to read to get them into the stories. Macbeth is notjust a thing unstage, its is a really good tale. And a member during lockdown reading this book again, just looking at it, and the language was impossible now it for young people. The stories arent, out they are extraordinary, so i thought lets do this again, it has been 200 years since this was done like there. So i got the wonderful Benedict Cumberbatch to write an introduction. Hat wonderful Benedict Cumberbatch to write an introduction. Write an introduction. Not bad knows what write an introduction. Not bad knows what hes write an introduction. Not bad knows what hes doing write an introduction. Not bad knows what hes doing and i write an introduction. Not bad i knows what hes doing and some wonderful actors read the audiobook. I want this to be a part of the enjoyment of shakespeare for young people, more than half the children in this country never see a shakespeare play and when you think this is the great writer of the country and the world in many ways, its extraordinary. His plays are translated all over the world. This come from translated all over the world. This come from background as a teacher because you have been a gateway for many children to understand about the First World War and, for example, in example, in war horse, and this is what you are doing with shakespeare, breaking it down to a gateway for many children to understand about the First World War and, for example, in war horse, and this is what you are doing with shakespeare, breaking it down to brilliant stories that they are. What i try to do before is to be a gateway for young people, at this as part of our function as parents and i am a grandparent at a great grandparent now, and all the time you are trying to keep the door open to what you loved and have enjoyed and what you think is worthwhile. We are here to pass it on, thats what its really all about. And as a story maker i love doing it through stories and i like telling stories and cant stop telling stories. I was a very good liar when i was younger, a really good liar. Shall i try my best lie . I went to a prep school and it was like hogwarts but it was true and it was in sussex are not a nice place at all but on the way back after 1a weeks of not seeing my mum and dad, were all in this little carriage with our striped blazers and on the way home and longing to see mum and dad. Everyone was asking where were going on our holidays. Spain and france and i was not going anywhere and i knew that so i thought i would do something silly and had a little timex watch and i looked it and said, its for pm, i want to trying to be on time because the queens coming for tea at five. I do looked up coming for tea at five. I do looked up and the whole carriage was just. And i thought. And they all believe it and i thought this was a great. I think that is the origin is in when i was a teacher, i loved, the last school i totally had a wonderful head teacher, i got her to read to the children from 3pm to 3 30pm. And when i was inventing my own tales or reading someone elses, you felt the silence of immersion which all these children have when they lose themselves in it. And you are not dictating to them, they are making it up in their own head from the watcher are passing on to them. I that silence. You the watcher are passing on to them. I that silence i that silence. You heard it here first, i that silence. You heard it here first. Michael i that silence. You heard it here first, Michael Morpurgo i that silence. You heard it here first, Michael Morpurgo it i that silence. You heard it here first, Michael Morpurgo it says i i that silence. You heard it here l first, Michael Morpurgo it says lie all the time. But making things up is different. We do not have Benedict Cumberbatch this morning to read your story.

They had despised each other for as long as anyone could remember. No one inside or outside these families could remember the original calls for the feud. They were the two richest and most powerful families in the city so there was a fierce rivalry and deep mistrust between them. But it was more than that, it was bitter hatred, shopping few years by humiliation and hurt and killings too. Both families had a vengeance in their heart and did not hide it. In their heart and did not hide it. I can feel the passion crying. Is i can feel the passion crying. Is out of people read your book and then go out of people read your book and then go and find the original . That is what i can then go and find the original . That is what i can much then go and find the original . Tryst is what i can much for, when i was little, i read the book and ifind myself queueing up at the theatre with everyone else in my auntie always used to give my brother and eye tickets and we would go there first thing in the morning, i would being first in the queue. Not because she got better seats but because she got better seats but because we had tickets and did not want to miss out. Im not suggesting everyone can do that but i am saying that theatre should be home to everyone that every child is, in some countries that are two paid for visits for children to the theatre every year. Weve got to get to this level of commitment is, this is how you open hearts and minds. The ictures you open hearts and minds. The pictures all you open hearts and minds. The pictures all around us here, this is deliberate imagery in the book to be more accessible and interesting . These are bright and you cannot look away. That is it king layer up there, that this is me at roughly aged 80, cantering along on a horse. Its vivid, and the writing should be fitted but also thoughtful and people have got to know that these plays are about the experience of life, human experience, and children are beginning to learn that.
