won the rutherglen and hamilton west by—election, in what's being seen as a key test of the party's ability to regain seats in scotland. its candidate michael shanks secured just under 18,000 votes, more than double the total for katy loudon of the snp, who came second. the poll was triggered by the removal of the former snp mp margaret ferrier after she broke covid lockdown rules. 0ur scotland

scottish constituencies, and with an election looming, perhaps also the key to number ten. let's get the latest from lorna now. lorna, what does this result mean for both labour and the snp ahead of the general election? this is a seat that has ping—pong between labour and the snp in every general election since 2015, it is considered marginal, but it has to be said, that result is anything but marginal, that was a thumping win for labour. they have been using these really big words like seismic, singly tectonic political plates are shifting, and they are going to go now into their party conference with a big spring in their step as a result of this. and as we heard there, hope to build on it and perhaps target those ten to 12 seats they already have their eyes on in west central scotland, and indeed possibly even more com because i think it is fair to say that that result is better than they expected. so good news for labour, but i had it is fair to say it is a bit of a disasterfor it is fair to say it is a bit of a disaster for the it is fair to say it is a bit of a disasterfor the snp, it is fair to say it is a bit of a disaster for the snp, they were managing expectations going into this by—election, colin is challenging, but it is the first electoral test for the new leader humza yousaf, his party has had a difficult year, that police investigation into the funding and finances of the snp, it was their former mp who was booted out after breaking covid rules, and of course they are the incumbent party voters quite often like to use by—elections to give the party of government a kick in. they will be reflecting on it, they say they have work to do, and they will be looking at ways now to regain voters' trust. for and they will be looking at ways

including an eight—year—old boy, died in a russian missile attack on a village cafe and shop in the north—east of ukraine. president zelenskyy described the attack as an act of russian terror, with the country's defence ministry saying there were no military targets in the area, only civilians. 0ur ukraine correspondent james waterhouse reports. "this body is badly burnt," says the rescuer. "maybe you'll recognise them." "no, it's not her," the woman replies. missile attacks are an almost daily occurrence here, but rarely are they this destructive. a well—rehearsed routine for emergency crews, which doesn't get any easier. translation: my brother, sister. in law, and my mother were killed. 0leksandr�*s family were at a funeral wake of a local soldier. most of the victims have been sitting around a large table inside a cafe, a shared moment of grief, cut short. translation: constantly, constantly, we were pulling out someone. it was a nightmare. ukraine accuses russia of launching a short range ballistic missile, killing more than 50 in a village of 300. translation: we were in a town nearby and heard an explosion. i we were then told that something happened here, and we came because my mother was here. ringtones fill the silence from the phones of the dead. translation: russian military knew where they were striking. _ it was not a blind attack. people had gathered there for a memorial meal. who could launch a missile at them? only absolute evil, absolute slaughter. at a speech in sochi, vladimir putin didn't reference the attack, but suggested ukraine would be dead within a week if its western help was to stop. ukraine is fighting to prevent that from happening, but it's hurting. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. the labour leader sir keir starmer says he can't commit to reviving the northern leg of hs2 if the party wins the next election. mr starmer said he had wanted the high—speed line to be "built in full," but said the government had taken a "wrecking ball" to its finances. we can get more on this now with our political correspondent hannah miller. it was inevitable that after rishi sunak�*s decision we would then ask the labour party what they would do, and now we know.— and now we know. yes, sir keir starmer's _ and now we know. yes, sir keir starmer's argument, _ and now we know. yes, sir keir starmer's argument, basically, | and now we know. yes, sir keir. starmer's argument, basically, is that it starmer's argument, basically, is thatitis starmer's argument, basically, is that it is not possible now for him to commit to hs2. the department for transport has said that it will start to sell off some of the land that had been earmarked for the project, and the hundreds of properties that had been bought by hsz, properties that had been bought by hs2, there are also plans to sell off that as well. this was keir starmer's reaction to that. they have blown _ starmer's reaction to that. they have blown a — starmer's reaction to that. they have blown a huge _ starmer's reaction to that. they have blown a huge hole - starmer's reaction to that. they have blown a huge hole in i starmer's reaction to that. they have blown a huge hole in this, and therefore _ have blown a huge hole in this, and therefore i— have blown a huge hole in this, and therefore i can't stand here and say iwiii— therefore i can't stand here and say i will commit to reversing that, not least _ i will commit to reversing that, not least because they are already... why can't— least because they are already... why can't you?— least because they are already... why can't you?

well, because they took on the big industry names at a time when people had lost a bit of faith in them. tempting customers in with things like sunday opening hours. but they've faced big problems in recent years and they don't have a huge amount of, well, actual cash in the bank, despite making some profits recently because of higher interest rates. after press reports suggesting the bank needed to raise £600 million, investors got spooked and the stock market price tumbled yesterday. various options could be on the table — borrowing money, selling shares or property, maybe even selling the mortgage accounts it holds. important to say investors do think this is a particular set of problems with metro bank, not the system as a whole. charlie. the former england and leeds rhinos rugby league player rob burrow is being honoured with a pride of britain award. the special recognition award is shared with his wife lindsay and best friend and former team—mate kevin sinfield, who between them have campaigned to raise awareness and millions of pounds for motor neurone disease charities. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. we can of contrasts coming our way, heat building for some of you. unseasonably warm across the southern half of the country into this weekend, but it will not be the same everywhere, because in some parts of scotland, we could see the risk of some flooding and mudslides, as we see rain persist, particularly on saturday. at the moment, some of the wettest weather to the central strip of the uk, especially north west england, north west wales, towards the isle of man in the south of northern ireland. starting your day reasonably well, if you are heading out over the next two hours some rain across shetland, a few light showers across the rest of northern scotland, but the big story is the wind. up to 50 or 60 mph. southern and northern ireland, more especially northern england, on the pennines, some heavy rain through the morning rush—hour, to the south mostly dry, some sunny spells, some low cloud lapping on the shores of devon conway. not much change and throughout the day, brightening up throughout the day, brightening up through wales in the north midlands, the rain across northern england will fizzle a touch, but it stays wind in the north—east of scotland, a chilly breeze as well, but further south we see temperatures climb a bit more widely into the low 20s with those sunny spells. into tonight, the rain sets in good and proper across parts of scotland, argyll and bute in the highlands could see some flooding as we go through the woods on saturday. south of that, some clearer skies around, splitting us in two this weekend. someone consumption in the south, rain and cloud in the know. thanks, matt, you later. the time is 6.15. let's take a look at today's papers. "starmer will not bring hs2 back to life" is the headline in the telegraph. the paper says sir keir is "abandoning labour's 2019 manifesto pledge to complete hs2 in full." sir keir is quoted as saying the government has "taken a wrecking ball to the project" and he cannot pledge to "simply reverse it". climate concerns appear on some of friday's front pages, with the guardian warning scientists are "stunned" by last month's figures. september 2023 beat the previous record for that month by 0.5 degrees celsius, the largestjump in temperature ever seen, it says. "our pride of britain" is the daily mirror's main headline, alongside the news that the rugby league legend rob burrow, his wife lindsey, and best mate kevin sinfield are to be honoured at the pride of britain awards later this week. the paper says "they've helped to raise more than £13 million to fight motor neurone disease, after rob was diagnosed in 2019". now, it's not every day you pull open the curtains to see a herd of cows grazing in yourfront garden. well, that was the reality for residents in the town of biggleswade in bedfordshire, who saw the cows, which usually graze on a common

buckinghamshire. there's a very special launch going on there today, and breakfast'sjohn maguire is there for us. tell us more, john. i have missed every single shot i have attempted until i then discovered after i got one on, they said i have to go back about three metres, and then i missed every single time. members of the gb wheelchair basketball team just behind us, showing us the incredible skills. i will speak to them in a couple of minutes. the paralympics one of the biggest events in the world. it's incredible to think that what was called a hospital sports day, coinciding with the london olympics in 1948, has grown into one of the biggest international events on the planet. it was the brainchild of professor sir ludwig guttmann, a neurologist who fled the nazis, and at stoke mandeville hospital in buckinghamshire, set about rehabilitating people with spinal injuries. i haven't got much hope. you haven't got much hope? no. look here, cut that out, will you? at the time, life expectancy for a paraplegic patient was just two years. immobility led to infections. but the professor had other radical ideas, and he was characteristically blunt about it. to put it quite clearly, to transform a helpless individual, severely disabled, into a taxpayer. that sounds very materialistic, but there's a deep philosophy behind it. atjust 18, sally haines was a very promising horsewoman, but a riding accident damaged her spine, and she was treated at stoke mandeville. living near the hospital, she was well used to seeing patients in wheelchairs. so when i actually finished up being one of them, i wasn't scared. i was horrified, but i wasn't scared, because i had this great faith in guttmann because of his already acknowledged achievements. naturally competitive, sallyjumped at the chance to join the team for what was now known as the stoke mandeville games, being staged after the rome olympics in 1960. she went on to win gold and silver medals at subsequent events, and became a trailblazer for wheelchairfencing in the uk, all the while embodying the spirit of the games. it was compensation for what i couldn't do with my riding and racing, showjumping. it was a replacement for that because i hadn't found anything to replace that feeling of... i wanted to make myself better at doing it, which was the same with riding all the time. it was what you were looking for, and the wheelchair sport was giving me what i was looking for. her family and friends organised a horse show to raise money, and this is sally as a cheque is handed over to professor guttmann to pay for the athletes' flights to rome. over the years, the stoke mandeville games have become the paralympics. they've grown hugely in scale, ambition, and global recognition, with the idea to create the flame here and start every torch relay from now on, the fire that was lit by professor guttmann 75 years ago should now burn brighter than ever. that wasn't me, that was amy who made that shot fast. what do you get out of this? it is an amazing sport, you commit to your fourth, fifth games, what is it like to be in the paralympics? it games, what is it like to be in

it through the night when she was found washed up on a scottish beach in january last year. we'll hear how she's been released into the wild after making a "remarkable" recovery. time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. a very good morning. welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. a man in his 205 has suffered head injuries after being attacked in a homophobic assault in chadwell heath. the man and his partner were both verbally abused by a group of six men along high road before the attack took place. the met say no arrests have been made, but are appealing for information from the public. the leader of havering council has said the authority could go bankrupt in six months. ray morgon blamed increasing costs and spending on social care and housing for the problems. the council has no single party in overall—control and is led by havering residents association. two of london's leading allergy doctors have produced a new super—guide to help people who suffer from severe food allergies. the leaflet is designed to help patients and those around them deal with an emergency. it comes as figures show hospital admissions linked to food allergies has more than doubled over the last 20 years. so, for me, this leaflet is all about raising public awareness, so that people know about identifying allergic reactions early, they know the importance of treating them early, of making sure that they use the right treatment in the right time, in the right place, so that we can make sure that those figures stay as low as possible. london's millennium bridge is to shut for three weeks for urgent repairs. the pedestrian crossing — also known as the "wobbly" bridge — opened in 2000. now, a layer of membrane has started to degrade and needs to be replaced. diversion routes will be in place via southwark bridge and blackfriars bridge. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. now on to the weather with kate. good morning. the temperature over the next few days is set to get that bit warmer today. we've got plenty of sunny spells. and, like i say, the temperature just starts to rise. now through this morning, we've got plenty of sunny spells, a bit of fairweather cloud bubbling up perhaps through the afternoon. still a southwesterly breeze, but temperatures reaching a warm 22 celsius, certainly above average for the time of year. now into this evening and overnight, it stays dry and it stays clear, perhaps a little bit of patchy cloud and perhaps one or two mist patches developing by dawn as well. the minimum temperature around 11 celsius. 50 another mild night. high pressure into saturday stays with us steering any fronts away to the north. so again, it's going to be a fine and dry day. lots of sunshine through saturday, the wind a bit lighter and temperatures potentially at a warm 2a celsius. now, we've got similar conditions, perhaps with a little more cloud on sunday, but the sunshine stays with us as we head into next week and so do the temperatures. tuesday, wednesday, 2a or 25 celsius. and just a reminder about the make a difference awards which took place earlier this week — where we recognised the many people who went that extra mile for their community at a special evening in central london. well, you can hear all the winners' remarkable stories on bbc radio london from 8 o'clock this evening and on bbc sounds. and congratulations to everyone who won and who was nominated. that's it from me. there's more on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour but for now let's cross back to naga and charlie. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. two months after the high street bargain chain wilko went into administration, the final stores will close their doors this weekend. peter's looking at this for us this morning. morning. for us this morning. there is a place in the hearts morning. there is a place in the hearts of shoppers when it comes to wilko. the brand reassures you on the high street. the nrk feels like a woolworths moment, doesn't it? people have such memories if you are a student or setting up your first house. ,., ., a student or setting up your first house, h, ., ., i” now, when we first heard wilko was in trouble, there were hopes the chain could be saved. it was a bit of a rollercoaster for staff members and shoppers but, on sunday, the brand will disappear from the high street when the final 41 branches pull down the shutters. but what happens next to those empty shops and their staff? we know that the owner of poundland has bought 71 wilko sites, which are being reopened under its own brand, many with former wilko workers. ten of those shops opened their doors last weekend, another ten will open tomorrow, the rest to follow. another rival chain, b&m, has agreed to buy up to 51 stores, although still no details on exactly which ones. there are discussions happening with landlords and we might not find out more details until the company's results next month. meanwhile, another discount retailer, the range, has agreed a £5 million deal for the wilko brand and website. so the name will survive in some form. but wilko employed around 12,500 staff. some have been offered roles with other retailers but the majority have been made redundant. and when you take away the stores sold to poundland and b&m, you're left with at least 286 wilko units with no future as it stands. so an emotional time for staff and shoppers. my colleague emma simpson has been back to leicester, where wilko was founded, to join workers for their final shift. # so long, farewell # au revoir, auf wiedersehen.# it's been a long goodbye. across the country, the workers from wilko have been posting videos on social media... ..including the distribution centre. # sha—la—la—la—la—la—la—la.# going out in style. £1 cake tin, sir. but when it's the final day of trading, there's still a job to do. just clear the shelves. that's the aim of the game today. sell every last piece. never thought it would come to this. we were big business. pleasure to work with you. you too. aw, like a family. one last shift together in leicester — shirts to be signed, plenty of hugs, an emotional day for everyone. karen's been here 28 years. my stomach is absolutely churning. i'm dreading when we close. dreading when that shutter comes down, we have to do the last announcement. i thought we'd be saved. everybody thought we'd be saved. thank you. customers have come to say cheerio, too. she made my shopping trips happy with her smile. such a sad day. there's a parting gift. the shelves are almost empty, but this tribute board, at least, will survive, heading to the local museum. there are some really lovely messages here. i've reported on an awful lot of retailers going bust over the years, and i haven't seen such affection for a brand and its staff since the collapse of woolies 1a years ago. meetjan and david — they've racked up nearly a century at wilko between them. the good old days. we still traded the store really, really aggressively, didn't we? we did. cheap and cheerful — that was our name. yeah. but you could get everything at wilkos. wilkos has been my life, my outside family. you know, it is a family—run business. and ijoined it when i was 18. and i'm still here now on this very last day. i've made an effort to come in to say goodbye. tough day. tough day, very tough day. there's moments i've been caught short where i've just looked and gone, "oh, my goodness, you know, it won't be here next week!" wow. it's been our lives. and, you know, it's been... we grew up with people. we've met people. we've learnt from people. it's been a fabulous ride. but the ride's coming to an end now. we are proud. i think that's a good word, "proud," of representing what wilkos is to people. you know, we want to go out with a big smile and to say goodbye and people will remember and thank you. yeah. the history is on the wall for all to see. so you remember the first store? i do indeed. what it was like. and you're still a customer today? yes. but, after 93 years, this retail story is drawing to a close. its staff dedicated to the end and many now looking for work. emma simpson, bbc news, leicester. such beautiful scenes. i went along to my local wilko in very similar scenes. very sad. lots of reasons for the demise of wilko of course but one was footfall. fewer people visiting city centres and choosing retail parks instead. today, new figures showing footfall is actually down across the board. not as many people heading to town centres, retail parks and especially shopping centres. another stark reminder of the challenges for retailers today. thank you very much. it is interesting. when you have seen something like that and you see the people who work there with such passion, it becomes a lifestyle, part of your being, it is a real shame. mike, where are you going to take us? the cricket world cup, i understand. the first match of the cricket world cup in india, a big fanfare for the opening game, they were terrible. the message from the camp, any word of corporaljones, don't panic. it is only the first game. ten teams in all eight more games to come. no team has ever won all their games. not to be bottom of the opening group. with they terrible? were they outplayed by the opposition? new zealand are good, they are one of the better teams in the world. it was the manner of defeat when the scale of defeat that will worry england the most. england have a chance to make amends on tuesday when they face bangladesh in their second match. but the pressure is going to be on now in all their remaining matches, after their embarrasing defeat to new zealand. england lost the toss and were asked to bat, with joe root leadiing the way with 77. but he was the only player to get a decent score, as england finished their 50 overs with a modest 282—9. it didn't look enough, but no one predicted how easily new zealand, would reach their target, losing just one wicket with 82 balls to spare. england shell—shocked. completely outplayed. but, you know, the first thing that springs to mind is, you know, whether you do lose by a run or a defeat like that, it is one loss at the start of a very long tournament. we've got a lot of experience in the room, guys who've been through lots of things and faced defeats like that before. so just as if we had won the game, we don't get too high and we don't get too low when we lose as well. now in football, the england manager gareth southgate wishes var didn't exist, after liverpool's wrongly disallowed goal at tottenham. his comments came after he named his squad for next week's international games. i don't like it. i think we should just accept referee's decisions. but i also know that we're unlikely to go back to a world where we don't have technology as part of that decision—making process. yeah, but it was never going to resolve every issue and i don't think there is any solution that will achieve that. west ham have set a new english record in europe. goals from lucas paqueta, and nayef agerd, were enough to win 2—1 away in germany at freiberg in the europa league, which means they are the first english side to go 17 consecutive games in european competition, unbeaten, dating back through last season as well. pep guardiola's manchester city team, leeds in the 19605, and spurs in the 705, all managed 16 games unbeaten. west ham have gone one better. brighton fans had their first ever european away trip. it was to the south of france — to marseilles, and it was worth every mile in the end because they fought back from two goals down to get their first ever point in european football, thanks to a pascal gross goal and a latejoao pedro penalty. also in the europa league, a late strike from diogojota, and a first liverpool goal for ryan gravenberg, was enough for victory for liverpool against union saint—gilloise on a night where brothers alexis, and kevin mac allister — who is named after macauley caulkin's character in home alone, yes, really — played against each other. meanwhile, steven davis's stint as rangers caretaker manager couldn't have started much worse. his side lost 2—1 away to cypriot side aris limassol. all four sides in group c sit on three points from their opening two games. still plenty to play for. there was relief for aston villa in their first home european game in 13 years. they left it late against zrinski mostar of bosnia in the europa conference league, withjohn mcginn scoring the only goal of the game in the fifth minute of injury time. no wonder they look so relieved and delighted! elsewhere, aberdeen came from behind to draw 1—1 with hjk helsinki. bojan miovski scored a late equaliser with just over ten minutes left on the clock at pittodrie to earn their first european point since 2007. next to the rugby world cup, where the final round of group matches take place over the weekend, and it's make or break for scotland tomorrow, as they must beat ireland. it's looking like the winners of their group will face new zealand in the quarter—finals. and the all blacks have really hit form. they did everything they could last night to finish top of their pool by thrashing uruguay 73—0, earning a bonus point with their 11 tries. what a stunner from willjordan! despite this, hosts france should still be pool winners, with victory tonight over italy. that would mean france winning the group with new zealand runners up and new zealand facing the winners of the island, scotland group. tough matches that side, definitely. thank you. the promise of affordable rent for key workers and billions of pounds of warm home grants will underpin the green party's autumn conference, which starts in brighton today. the greens are hoping to quadruple their mps in parliament — from one to four — at the next general election. let's speak to their co—leader, carla denyer. a very good morning to you. thank you for your time this morning. people expect at party conferences now, significant announcements. tell us what it is you are presenting this year at your party conference. that is right. this conference could be our last one before the general election. we are laser focused on getting our four candidates elected into the house of commons because thatis into the house of commons because that is the way we can ensure ambitious action on climate change and the housing crisis, which rishi sunak did not mention once in his conservative party speech. our aim is to ensure everyone has a good quality, warm, affordable and secure home. we would do that by providing funding by retrofit, making sure everyone's home could be insulated. back can be done in the form of grants for homes that need the most support and government loans to top up support and government loans to top up for people who can afford those. on top of that we would make sure that local authorities, in areas where the housing market is overheated, has the power to bring in rent control so they are in line with local incomes. councils need to be able to increase the amount of social housing stock and we would support them to do that by around 150,000 per year, support them to do that by around 150,000 peryear, including ringing the 600,000 empty homes back into use. ., the 600,000 empty homes back into use. . ., , ., .,, use. there are

money must come from somewhere, where would you raise this money to give the guarantees? the green party is the only party talking about making tax fairer. one thing we have been proposing for many years now is a wealth tax. we are not the only ones. the tuc and oxfam also say it is time for a wealth tax because we have huge inequality in this country. even a modest tax on only the multimillionaires, the tuc estimate for example is based on only taxing the wealth of those with £10 million or more in assets and that could raise around £10 billion. there are other great injustices in the tax system. one of the biggest is the tax you pay an income from work is higher than the tax you pay on income from assets. now of course, those who get more of their income from assets generally are much more wealth and that is incredibly unfair because it means people are paying more for their income than the rich. we would equalise those, make them the same level which, on top of wealth tax would bring in tens of billions of pounds which could be spent on initiatives like this to make sure everyone has a good quality, warm and affordable home. when you said you were targeting four seats looking ahead to the general election when it happens. i5 general election when it happens. is that a reality check or admission from you of what is achievable. four in the great scheme of politics does not sound like many. is that an admission you do not think you can push further than that?— push further than that? obviously, ultimately. — push further than that? obviously,

know it is popular. from conversations on the doorstep, we know it is popular. we recognise we know it is popular. we recognise we have to get there from where we are now and our ambitious plan involves quadrupling the number of mps in westminster, which is consistent with the growth we have seenin consistent with the growth we have seen in local elections recently where we have more than quadrupled our number of local councillors during the last four local elections.— during the last four local elections. ., ., ., ., elections. you are co-leader of the green party- _ elections. you

as a whole, there is a huge variety in peoples backgrounds. we are doing well in northern towns in big cities and in rural areas. we have people voting for us who previously voted for a variety of different parties or did not vote cattle. often we know they have agreed with green party policy. the only reason they did not vote for us previously is because they did not think we could get him. that is changing because of the huge growth in local councillors who are being elected and that is giving people a good experience of what having a green politician representing them is like and we think they are more likely to trust us with their vote in a general election and that is borne out by success of green parties and other countries. to give two examples in canada and australia, where they have just one green mp for a few years. in those countries as well. in the most recent general election theyjumped recent general election they jumped up recent general election theyjumped up to three and four green mps respectively and they have been on a similar trajectory to us, so we think our expectation of having four green mps think our expectation of having four green mp5 is entirely achievable and thatis green mp5 is entirely achievable and that is what we are laser focused on at this conference.— at this conference. thank you very much. at at this conference. thank you very

very much- — when a tropical turtle was found washed up — malnourished and deyhdrated — on a beach in scotland in january 2022, nobody expected her to survive. now, after being nursed back to health, iona has been released into the atlantic. graham satchell tells her story. iona the turtle — these her final moments in captivity before being released into the wild. she is alive today because of the kindness of strangers and has come on a remarkable journey to get to this point. the loggerhead turtle was found in january last year. covered in sand, she was dehydrated, malnourished, barely alive. jane, who found her, gave her the name iona. it's the island off the west coast of scotland where she'd landed. iona was taken to the sea life centre in loch lomond, where a team of experts started her recovery. she was then moved to scarborough, where she made gradual and steady progress, putting on more than ten times the weight she had when she was found. most loggerhead turtles start their life in the gulf of mexico. it's thought iona may have been carried on the gulf stream to the inner hebrides. after spending time at sealife centres in scotland and then in scarborough, this week she was flown to the azores in the atlantic to be released into the wild. on the quayside, time for one last quick clean before being taken on to a small boat and fitted with a tracking device. when everybody�*s ready... and then, finally, the moment of freedom. it was a really lovely feeling to see her kind ofjust go off into the big blue. and i think the biggest thing, that apprehension really of kind of what's going to happen to her — where's she going to go now. but i know that the part that we've all played has given her the best chances that we can do in the wild. iona was the smallest turtle to be found alive in the uk. today, thanks to a small army of helpers, she is fully grown and back in the wild. graham satchell, bbc news. you saw him bear. we're joined now by sea life scarborough's todd german, who was part of the team looking after iona and releasing her. what was it like seeing her swimming off? it what was it like seeing her swimming off? ., , what was it like

travel and weather where you are. a very good morning. welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. a man in his 205 has suffered head injuries after being attacked in a homophobic assault in chadwell heath. the man and his partner were both verbally abused by a group of six men along high road before the attack took place. the met say no arrests have been made, but are appealing for information from the public. the leader of havering council has said the authority could go bankrupt in six months. ray morgon blamed increasing costs and spending on social care and housing for the problems. the council has no single party in overall control and is led by havering residents association. two of london's leading allergy doctors have produced a new super—guide to help people who suffer from severe food allergies. the leaflet is designed to help patients and those around them deal with an emergency. it comes as figures show hospital admissions linked to food allergies has more than doubled over the last 20 years. so, for me, this leaflet is all about raising public awareness, so that people know about identifying allergic reactions early, they know the importance of treating them early, of making sure that they use the right treatment in the right time in the right place, so that we can make sure that those figures stay as low as possible. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on all lines this morning. now on to the weather with kate. good morning. the temperature over the next few days is set to get that bit warmer. today, we've got plenty of sunny spells. and, like i say, the temperature just starts to rise. now, through this morning, we've got plenty of sunny spells, a bit of fairweather cloud bubbling up perhaps through the afternoon. still a southwesterly breeze, but temperatures reaching a warm 22 celsius, certainly above average for the time of year. now, into this evening and overnight, it stays dry and perhaps one or two mist patches and overnight, it stays dry developing by dawn as well. and overnight, it stays dry the minimum temperature around 11 celsius. so another mild night. high pressure into saturday stays with us steering any fronts away to the north. so again, it's going to be a fine and dry day. lots of sunshine through saturday, the wind a bit lighter and temperatures potentially at a warm 24 celsius. now, we've got similar conditions, perhaps with a little more cloud on sunday, but the sunshine stays with us as we head into next week and so do the temperatures. tuesday, wednesday, 24 or 25 celsius. and just a reminder about the make a difference awards which took place earlier this week, where we recognised the many people who went that extra mile for their community at a special evening in central london. well, you can hear all the winners' remarkable stories on bbc radio london from 8.00 this evening and on bbc sounds. and congratulations to everyone who won and who was nominated. that's it from me. there's more on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour, but for now, let's cross back to naga and charlie. good morning. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today — an emphatic win for labour at the rutherglen by—election in scotland. leader keir starmer describes it as a "seismic result." more than 50 people have been killed in a missile attack on a ukrainian village, where many victims were attending a funeral. from now on, the flame of the paralympic torches will be a little right here in stoke mandeville. it is the home of the games. we are live later on. it was bad in ahmedad from world champions england in the opening match of the cricket world cup, but despite a thrashing by new zealand, the message from the captain is don't panic yet. get ready for a weekend of big weather contrasts. for some, unseasonably warm. for others, exceptionally wet. the full details right here on breakfast. good morning. it's friday the 6th of october. our main story — labour has emphatically won the rutherglen and hamilton west by—election, in what's being seen as a key test of the party's ability to regain seats in scotland. its candidate michael shanks secured just under 18,000 votes, more than double the total for katy loudon of the snp, who came second. the poll was triggered by the removal of the former snp mp margaret ferrier after she broke covid lockdown rules. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon was at the count. michael shanks, scottish labour party, 17,000... cheering. this was a stunning victory, widely forecast but not with a win and a swing as big as this. it's time for change. that change can't come fast enough. but one thing is now clear — there is no part of this country where labour cannot win. winning hamilton and rutherglen west doubles the number of seats labour has in scotland from one to two, small numbers but the party has big ambitions ahead. it's an extraordinary night in scottish politics, - i think people in rutherglen- and hamilton west have sent a very clear message that they are sick | of two tired failing incompetent| i governments, they are desperate i for change, and the vehicle for that change is now scottish labour. the snp already faced challenges heading into this vote, a first by—election loss for them in 16 years in power, is another blow. of course it is a challenge, but i do feel confident that we can get the offer right, then rather than a managed decline of the uk, one of the most unequal countries in the world, we can move forward with a bright future with independence, but we have to get the offer right and we have work to do. turnout was low, but this win was so emphatic, those crunching the numbers to see if repeated across scotland in the next general election, labour could win as many as 42 seats, with the snp down to six. by—elections will often exaggerate the swing against the government, but still, it is the direction of travel that you cannot ignore in this by—election. i suspect that if this kind of swing were to be replicated across scotland as a whole, you'd be talking about the labour party quite clearly been the dominant party north of the border once again. north of the border once again. keir starmer says winning this seat is a milestone on labour's road back to power. he will be hoping this victory gives his party momentum to seize more scottish constituencies, and with an election looming, perhaps also the keys to number ten. let's get the latest from lorna now. lorna, what does this result mean for both labour and the snp ahead of the general election? a tale of two parties, isn't it? labour won, a tale of two parties, isn't it? labourwon, and a tale of two parties, isn't it? labour won, and they won big, and they worked hard at it, the so that they worked hard at it, the so that they knocked on 80,000 doors, spoke to 30,000 constituents here, but i think they were quietly confident going into this vote, but i don't think even labour thought they would win as big as they did, winning double the number of votes of the snp, in what has traditionally been the scene as a marginal seat. they will be using this to give them a bounce going into their party conference, and to build momentum into that general election campaign. it is important to qualify, of course, but that that mean that they doubled the number of mps in scotland, they have gone from one to two, but they will hope that gives them the drive the push comedy profile we have a very positive general election campaign, target those ten, 12, 15 seats they had their eyes on going into this campaign, and indeed, as sirjohn curtice said, perhaps as many as upwards of 40 if it was replicated across scotland. but it has been a disaster for the snp, across scotland. but it has been a disasterfor the snp, the across scotland. but it has been a disaster for the snp, the first electoral test for their leader humza yousaf, a very bad result for them, they are not trying to shy away from it, they say they are disappointed and they will have to work hard going forwards to regain the trust of the voters. you know, they will be mulling over what went wrong here, and whether they have to change their message, their policies, going forward. filth. change their message, their policies, going forward. oh, thanks very much- — policies, going forward. oh, thanks very much. lorna _ policies, going forward. oh, thanks very much. lorna gordon _ policies, going forward. oh, thanks very much.

strong international condemnation of russia after more than 50 people, including an eight—year—old boy, died in a russian missile attack in the north—east of ukraine. our international editor jeremy bowen joins us from kyiv. jeremy, what can you tell us about the response to yesterday's attack? it was a wake of some sort after a funeral, in fact a reburial of a soldier who had been killed and have been brought back to his home village by his family, by his wife and his son, who was also a man in uniform, in the army, and they had reburied him, and then the missile came in. all those people killed, including the wife and the son, and that a child, as you are saying, so and the annals of atrocities in this war, this was a pretty bad one, a very, very bad one.— very, very bad one. yes, and he mentioned _ very, very bad one. yes, and he mentioned the _ very, very bad one. yes, and he mentioned the international i very, very bad one. yes, and he i mentioned the international reaction to

ukraine's allies. - support. condemnation, as you would expect, from ukraine's allies. this i expect, from ukraine's allies. this kind of thing has happened before, but this is a very bad difference of degree, if you like. the issue of the moment is trying to reassure the ukrainians that the supplies that they depend on, financial and especially military supplies, will continue, and they are worried about that because cracks have started appearing in western support for the ukrainians. the man who came out top in the slovakian elections is against any more support. support for ukraine is a big issue in the polish elections, which are about to happen, and perhaps most worryingly of all, for the ukrainians, in washington, dc, the hard right of the republican party is increasingly against any more money going to ukraine. it was one of the reasons why the ouster of the house of representatives to speak up, so looking at all that, it does not mean the tap will be turned off, far from it, buti mean the tap will be turned off, far from it, but i think it does worry the ukrainians, particularly at a time when their summer offensive has not achieved what it was supposed to achieve, what they hoped it would achieve, what they hoped it would achieve, what they hoped it would achieve, what their western backers hoped it would achieve, which is a decisive breakthrough that changes the strategic picture in the war. jeremy, for the moment, thank you very much. jeremy bowen in kyiv for us this morning. dozens of mps and peers are calling for a ban on the use of live facial recognition technology for public surveillance. the systems have already been deployed at events such as the coronation, and the home office wants to explore their further use. but the group argues there isn't sufficient legal basis, and also has human rights concerns. the labour leader sir keir starmer says he can't commit to reviving the northern leg of hs2 if the party wins the next election. mr starmer said he had wanted the high—speed line to be "built in full," but said the government had taken a "wrecking ball" to its finances. we can get more on this now with our political correspondent hannah miller. as soon as this decision was made, it was inevitable that keir starmer would be asked that question, what would be asked that question, what would you do, and now we know. he: had to answer it, didn't he? morning, charlie. keir starmer's argument basically is that it is not possible for labour to commit to building hs2 in full any more. the government has that, within weeks, it will look to start is to release the land that would have been built on. it is looking also to sell hundreds of properties that had been bought by hs2. this was keir starmer's reaction to that. they have blown a huge hole in this, and therefore i can't stand here and say i will commit to reversing that, not least because they are already... why can't you ? because they have made a complete mess, they have blown a hole in the project, they are already beginning to release the land that is needed between birmingham and manchester. so i cannot commit. as well as practical indications, there are real political ones, too. keir starmer knows that if you were to say, yes, we would be doing the whole of hs2, he would immediately be asked what about all these other projects the conservative party have just said they will do? he did commit to northern powerhouse rail, that east to west like going from hull going across to liverpool, the land for that is still being safeguarded by the government, so that could still be possible —— that east to west link. many of us will frustrate some people within labour who feel like keir starmer needs to set out his own bold ambitious plans, but i think what is going on literally part of a pattern where the labour party and keir starmer want to be seen to be steady, they want to be seen to be steady, they want to be seen to be steady, they want to be seen to be relatively predictable, they don't want to be coming in and overturning decisions, because they think that for businesses who want predictability and certainty, they have not had that much of that in recent years, and they think that is a key plank of what the labour party wants to offer at the next election. hannah, thank ou offer at the next election. hannah, thank you very _ offer at the next election. hannah, thank you very much. _ the former leeds rhinos rugby league player rob burrow is being honoured with a pride of britain award. the special recognition award is shared with his wife lindsay and best friend and former team—mate kevin sinfield, who between them have campaigned to raise awareness and millions of pounds for motor neurone disease charities. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. getting seriously warm in some places. yes, for the stage in october, charlie, some will the unusually warm as we go to the next few days. let's talk about this weekend. the south also be warmest and sunniest conditions, but it will not be across the board. be prepared, especially on saturday in areas of scotland, it will not only be pretty cool but also very wet as well. that rain is all linked to rain we have got on the moment, actually come across parts of central swathes of the uk, so part of northwestern, north west midlands and north and west wales, some heavy persistent rain as well also thing the isle of man —— affecting the isle of man. pretty the north and north—east of scotland throughout today, winds up to 60 mph, some sunny spells. some brightness to north of northern ireland, heading out across north—west england in the pennines and north west wales and parts of the north midlands, further heavy rain to come in the next hour or two. heavy rain to come in the next hour ortwo. but heavy rain to come in the next hour or two. but the further south you are, a bit of low clouds towards some coast in devon and cornwall, but some sunny spells around, and that will continue all day, very pleasant day to come today. still some sunshine in northern scotland, but rain settling into much of northern ireland by the end of the day, spreading into south—west scotland by this stage. 13 celsius in lerwick and stornoway, maybe up to 22 celsius in norwich and london. today, the parts of —— of the rain will come and go for a time, turning dilator, but some persistent rain setting and across the western parts of scotland, could give us some flooding this weekend, and a big contrast with some cloud and rain across the north with some warmth and some hazy sunshine in the south. thanks, matt. the time is 7.15. the labour leader sir keir starmer will be heading to party conference this weekend with a spring in his step, after a decisive win in the rutherglen and hamilton west by—election overnight. he described the victory — which was a swing of more than 20% from the snp — as "a seismic moment," but labour will need to replicate the result many more times if they're to rebuild their presence in scotland at the next general election. let's speak now to the leader of the scottish labour party, anas sarwar. you now have two seats in scotland, rather than one, what is your target? it rather than one, what is your tariet? , ., rather than one, what is your tariet? , . ,

delivering a uk wide labour government, and what you have seen happening in scotland overnight as people move away and reject the politics of division, chaos, and competence, and instead express a desire for a fresh start, a desire for change, and they can now see that scottish labour is the vehicle for that change. i also want to stress, though, that this is not a campaign ora to stress, though, that this is not a campaign or a result that is a few months in the making, this is years in the making, and both sir keir starmer and i recognise that we will continue to use the same energy and the simple ability to reach out and earn people's trust and support so we can transform the country and the process. this is one stage in a long journey back, we are determined to do the hard

there's now feeling spreading out across scotland, and i am determined that we use the positivity coming out of this by—election not to be complacent, but to redouble our efforts and to be hard work, and with humility reach out to scots, because fundamental in this country needs change and only labour can deliver it. i needs change and only labour can deliver it. ., , needs change and only labour

think any of this is easy, i don't think it should be easy, either. we should be made to work hard and and everyone's vote, exactly what we will try to do between now and the next general election, but i don't think this by—election was down to margaret ferrier. mortgages have gone up by over £2000 for households across the country, and in the face of that, people are looking for change, and now what has happened overnight as people can clearly see the vehicle for change, the unrivalled party of change in scotland, is now the scottish labour party.- change in scotland, is now the scottish labour party. when did you last have a conversation _ scottish labour party. when did you last have a conversation with - scottish labour party. when did you last have a conversation with sir- last

this fantastic result, but even more importantly, we will be talking about the future and what more we need to do to persuade people that change is possible, this is not as good as it gets, and that scotland will lead the way in delivering a labour government. hour delivering a labour government. how imiortant delivering a labour government. how important hasn't _ delivering a labour government. how important hasn't been that sir keir starmer has been campaigning in rutherglen and the last few weeks? hugely important, and i think it is really important to stress this, the result that we had overnight would not have been possible if keir starmer had not change the uk labour party, if he had not demonstrated that we can win the next general election, coming through the worst result in living memory, to get us in a place where we can win the next general election, i think that in itself has been a huge boost, the progress we have made in scotland would not have been able to happen

process, and i think what we see if we elect keir starmer as our prime minister and a we elect keir starmer as our prime ministerand a uk we elect keir starmer as our prime minister and a uk wide

through, quite extraordinary. it is very brave of him even now to put his hand up and tell his story, isn't it? absolutely, and he is doing it for a reason, he is doing it to show that people get accused of things that they haven't done. can you imagine what it is like they there's a knock on the door, you open it up, a couple of police officers are there, they have a chat with you in then they have a chat with you in then they tell you that you are going to be charged and have to go to crown court. what do you do at that point? where do you get a lawyer? how do you get a lawyer? how do you afford a lawyer? if you had brian talking there, £500,000 he spent on legal fees, that is not down the back of the sofa, that is a huge amount of money, very difficult to get, and even on the short trials, you're looking at tens of thousands of pounds that people have to spend, and there is of course the concept of legal aid, which the government help to help you with your defence, but if you have got an average job and your partner or your wife or husband has an average job as well, you will find yourself over the limit, because it is means tested, and you will not be eligible so you have to pay for it all yourself, and it is huge amounts of money. so what is changing? — it is huge amounts of money. so what is changing? the _ it is huge amounts of money. so what is changing? the

thanks. and you can see more on this story in a documentary on the bbc iplayer called the cost of innocence. preparations are well underway for the paralympics next year, one of the biggest sporting events in the world. but they started out as a small competition at stoke mandeville hospital in buckinghamshire. there's a very special launch at stoke mandeville this morning, and john maguire is there for us. tell us more, john. it is unrecognisable from what started here as a hospital sports day, all the brain child of the man widely regarded as the father of the paralympics movement, professor guttmann. 75 years ago, he was treating war veterans with spinal injuries here at stoke mandeville hospital, and wanted to get them physically active as a way of rehabilitation, and that is how the whole idea started. in fact, they were called the stoke mandeville games, even when they were held overseas for the first few years, here's a small museum that tells you about the history of the games. a ball for blind players to play, all sorts of meadows and paraphernalia from the paralympics over those years. this will also be the place from now on where the paralympic flame is lit, they are very excited about that, just like olympia. time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. a very good morning. welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. a man in his 20s has suffered head injuries after being attacked in a homophobic assault in chadwell heath. the man and his partner were both verbally abused by a group of six men along high road before the attack took place. the met say no arrests have been made, but are appealing for information from the public. the leader of havering council has said the authority could go bankrupt in six months. ray morgon blamed increasing costs and spending on social care and housing for the problems. the council has no single party in overall—control and is led by havering residents association. two of london's leading allergy doctors have produced a new super—guide to help people who suffer from severe food allergies. the leaflet is designed to help patients and those around them deal with an emergency. it comes as figures show hospital admissions linked to food allergies has more than doubled over the last 20 years. so, for me, this leaflet is all about raising public awareness, so that people know about identifying allergic reactions early, they know the importance of treating them early, of making sure that they use the right treatment in the right time, in the right place, so that we can make sure that those figures stay as low as possible. london's millennium bridge is to shut for three weeks for urgent repairs. the pedestrian crossing — also known as the "wobbly" bridge — opened in 2000. now, a layer of membrane has started to degrade and needs to be replaced. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. now on to the weather with kate. good morning. the temperature over the next few days is set to get that bit warmer today. we've got plenty of sunny spells. and, like i say, the temperature just starts to rise. now through this morning, we've got plenty of sunny spells, a bit of fairweather cloud bubbling up perhaps through the afternoon. still a southwesterly breeze, but temperatures reaching a warm 22 celsius, certainly above average for the time of year. now into this evening and overnight, it stays dry and it stays clear, perhaps a little bit of patchy cloud and perhaps one or two mist patches developing by dawn as well. the minimum temperature around 11 celsius. so another mild night. high pressure into saturday stays with us steering any fronts away to the north. so again, it's going to be a fine and dry day. lots of sunshine through saturday, the wind a bit lighter and temperatures potentially at a warm 2a celsius. now, we've got similar conditions, perhaps with a little more cloud on sunday, but the sunshine stays with us as we head into next week and so do the temperatures. tuesday, wednesday, 2a or 25 celsius. and just a reminder about the make a difference awards which took place earlier this week — where we recognised the many people who went that extra mile for their community at a special evening in central london. well, you can hear all the winners' remarkable stories on bbc radio london from 8 o'clock this evening and on bbc sounds. and congratulations to everyone who won and who was nominated. that's it from me. there's more on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour but for now let's cross back to naga and charlie. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. let's get back to our main story now. labour have won the rutherglen and hamilton west by—election with a swing of more than 20% from the snp. the snp still has a0 seats in scotland, but labour leader keir starmer described the victory as "seismic" ahead of the next general election. let's speak to the snp's leader at westminster, stephen flynn. thank you very much for your time this morning. just give me your thoughts on what he witnessed. it has been a very tough night for the scottish national party. important to congratulate michael on his victory for the labour party in scotland. no easy feat to win an election and i look forward to working with him on some of the promises he made during his by—election campaign. it has been tough for the scottish national party. we have had long—standing challenges in relation to margaret ferrier and her conduct in relation to breaking coronavirus rules and a lot of inner turmoil in recent months as well. it is important to reflect and look internally at what has gone wrong and see what we can do better in the future to see if we can win the seat back at the next election. ., ., , ., . ., election. how are you reflecting on it? pretty early _ election. how are you reflecting on it? pretty early doors. _

significant margin. we need to motivate people again to vote for the scottish national party. it is a big challenge but we have to rise to it to reach our end goal. we have unfinished business at

got to think about it over the coming days, to use one of those political phrases, it has been a very tough night. some might say that is an understatement. you suggested there were local issues due to circumstances around the event. it almost sounds like one of the things you are not thinking is that the snp has a problem. a bit like you are thinking, there is a problem there. is that already the way you are thinking? are you not thinking there is a bigger issue? what dominates my thoughts is the public. i am well aware of the cost of living crisis, the fact that the bills and mortgage bills and energy bills and mortgage bills and energy bills are 3d way. people in scotland do have the ability to express things as an independent nation. i recognise the scale of the challenge we have in front of us. in west central scotland the labour party is ready to challenge us and last night the labour party beat us in this by—election. we should not take it out of context. the scottish national party lost a by—election in january 2014. nobody read too much into that at that moment in time. a by—election is different from a general election. we have a big challenge on our hands and we need to come together collectively to right the wrongs that happened in the last few months.— right the wrongs that happened in the last few months. people look at momentum — the last few months.

seats and we lost them to the conservative party. i rememberspeaking and we lost them to the conservative party. i remember speaking to someone at the time in the labour party that you have lost the seat i now hold for the next 20 years. we won it back two years later. i know what it is like to place electoral challenge within the snp, i know what it is like to lose seats at a general election but i also know what it is like to win those seats back. my mind is focusing on winning back. my mind is focusing on winning back rutherglen, retaining each and every seat we currently have. that is incredibly important, notjust for us but the independence movement, which is still sitting at around 50% in the polls. before any of that committee party needs to recognise it cannotjust be business

apathy, notjust on the doors but in general. six out of ten people did not even vote. we need to be as a political party conscious of the fact our voters did not turn out in the way we expected them to do so. we cannot control the conservative vote completely collapsing and going to the labour party, we cannot control the lib dems they collapsed as well and went to the labour party. we can inspire our own voters to vote for us, that is what we need to vote for us, that is what we need to focus on. the cost of living crisis needs to be front and centre to everything we do and that is

world cup going and the cricket world cupjust beginning. a big fanfare. reigning champions england starting off against new zealand and being absolutely thrashed. i woke up is about momentum that you do not want to peak too soon. the last time, in 2019, when england won the world cup, they lost three times in the round robin stage. not this heavily they finished third. and in the top four out of ten teams go through to the semifinals, so you can recover from early setbacks. they are missing ben stokes. england are hoping that experience will count in the long run if they retain their trophy, they would be the oldest team to win the world cup with 31 being the average age and they have a chance to make amends on tuesday when they face bangladesh in their second match. it was the manner of their defeat in their opener, which will worry them more. batting first, and withjoe root leading the way with 77. but he was the only player to get a decent score, as england finished their 50 overs, with a modest 282—9. it didn't look enough, but no—one predicted how easily new zealand would reach their target, losing just one wicket with 82 balls to spare, over 13 overs, left england shell shocked. completely outplayed. but, you know, the first thing that springs to mind is, you know, whether you do lose by a run or a defeat like that, it is one loss at the start of a very long tournament. we've got a lot of experience in the room, guys who've been through lots of things and faced defeats like that before. so just as if we had won the game, we don't get too high and we don't get too low when we lose as well. now in football, the england manager gareth southgate doesn't like var, and after liverpool's wrongly disallowed goal at tottenham, made his feelings clear, as he named his squad for next week's international games. i don't like it. i think we should just accept referee's decisions. but i also know that we're unlikely to go back to a world where we don't have technology as part of that decision—making process. yeah, but it was never going to resolve every issue and i don't think there is any solution that will achieve that. now to a busy night of european club football and west ham have another feather in their cap. they are now record breakers. they are the first english side to go 17 consecutive games in european competition unbeaten, dating back through last season as well, thanks to goals from from lucas paqueta and nayef agerd, which were enough to beat freiberg in the europa league. so now going one better than pep guardiola's manchester city team, leeds in the 1960s, and spurs in the '70s, who all managed a run of 16 european games unbeaten. brighton fans had a party in the south of france, in marseille, and their first ever away trip in europe. it was worth every mile, because they fought back from two goals down, to get their first ever point in european football, thanks to a pascal gros goal and a latejoao pedro, penalty. also in the europa league, a late strike from diogojota, and a first liverpool goal for ryan gravenberg, was enough for victory for liverpool, against union saint—gilloise on a night where brothers alexis, and kevin mac allister — who is named after macauley caulkin's character in home alone — yes, really, played against each other. meanwhile, steven davis's stint, as rangers caretaker manager couldn't have started much worse. his side lost 2—1 away to cypriot side aris limassol. all four sides in group c, sit on three points from their opening two games. there was relief for aston villa, in their first home european game in 13 years. they left it late against zrinski mostar of bosnia in the europa conference league, withjohn mcginn scoring the only goal of the game in the fifth minute of injury time. elsewhere, aberdeen came from behind, to draw 1—1 with hjk helsinki. bojan miovski scored a late equaliser with just over ten minutes left on the clock at pittodrie, to earn their first european point since 2007. celtic beat champions glasgow city with a late goal in the scottish women's premier league. everything happened in the last 20 minutes. glasgow had a player sent—off, leading to celtic�*s first goal from the penalty spot. and it stayed i—i until colette cavanagh scored the 89th minute winner at airdrionian's excelsior park stadium. in snooker, judd trump is through to the quarter finals of the english open. the 2020 champion twice trailed, yuan si—jun in his last 16 encounter, but fought back to claim the win 4—2. yuan has now lost his last five matches against the englishman. things didn't quite go to plan for ronnie o'sullivan though — losing out 4—2 to, zhang anda, who will now face youe—long zhou in the quarter—finals in brentwood. next to the rugby world cup, where the final round of group matches take place over the weekend, and it's make or break for scotland tomorrow, as they must beat ireland. it's looking like the winners of their group will face new zealand in the quarter—finals. the all blacks have really hit form. they did everything they could last night to finish top of their pool, by thrashing uruguay 73—0, earning a bonus point with their 1! tries. what a stunner from willjordan! despite this, hosts france will be pool winners with victory tonight over italy. you would expect that. it will be france top of that pool with new zealand second. all of the home nations involved tomorrow. scotland must beat ireland in order to stand a chance. a really tough group. has always been that way. that side of the draw has always been tough. thank you. we will see you later. slightly easier to be happier about the weather if you are so inclined. are you not happy about it? you like your seasons to behave. it also depends where you are. some massive contrasts coming our way this weekend. full today, top and tail. if you like the sunshine you should see quite a bit of it. in between this is where we have cloud and rain. it had its way north. does not look a huge amount but making for a pretty wet morning on the western side of the pennines, turning wetter in northern ireland. the rain will come and go during the day and there will be some dry spells to the east of the pennines. nudging further north into south—west scotland and more extensively northern ireland later in the day. strong and gusty wins. one or two showers, some sunshine, feeling cool. pleasant any hazy sunshine with temperatures up to 22 celsius for one or two. —— pleasant any hazy sunshine. it will turn drier and clearer later. into south—west scotland the rain will become relentless as we go into saturday. here are the contrast. the bulk of scotland, away from the far north, a wet and cool day. northern ireland, a fair bit of cloud. drier than today. some cloud around the coast. it could be lifting sahara dustin coast. it could be lifting sahara dust in the atmosphere above. here are the contrast, 24 degrees in london and nine in aberdeen. the contrast is out a little bit into sunday. back to you. massive contrast. think of the british hip—hop of the 19805 and '90s and you might not automatically think of its female stars. now, a bbc documentary wants to set the record straight by highlighting the "first ladies of hip—hop" who helped make some of its most memorable music. lisa maffia from so solid crew

the rutherglen by—election in scotland. leader keir starmer describes it as a "seismic result." more than 50 people have been killed in a missile attack on a ukrainian village, where many victims were attending a funeral. we are live at stoke mandeville stadium looking ahead to next year's paralympics. this will also now on be the case of the paralympic flame. we will talk to some athletes later

forsome, cooland into the weekend, unseasonable one for some, cool and very wet for others, all the details here on breakfast. good morning. it's friday the 6th of october. our main story — labour has emphatically won the rutherglen and hamilton west by—election, in what's being seen as a key test of the party's ability to regain seats in scotland. its candidate michael shanks secured just under 18,000 votes, more than double the total for katy loudon of the snp, who came second. the poll was triggered by the removal of the former snp mp margaret ferrier after she broke covid lockdown rules. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon was at the count. michael shanks, scottish labour party, 17,000... cheering. this was a stunning victory, widely forecast but not with a win and a swing as big as this. it's time for change. that change can't come fast enough. but one thing is now clear — there is no part of this country where labour cannot win. winning hamilton and rutherglen west doubles the number of seats labour has in scotland from one to two, small numbers but the party has big ambitions ahead. it's an extraordinary night in scottish politics, - i think people in rutherglen- and hamilton west have sent a very clear message that they are sick i of two tired failing incompetent| i governments, they are desperate i for change, and the vehicle for that change is now scottish labour. the snp already faced challenges heading into this vote, but this, a first by—election loss for them in 16 years in power, is another blow. of course it is a challenge, but i do feel confident that we can get the offer right, then rather than a managed decline of the uk, one of the most unequal countries in the world, we can move forward with a bright future with independence, but we have to get the offer right and we have work to do. turnout was low, but this win was so emphatic, those crunching the numbers to see if repeated across scotland in the next general election, labour could win as many as 42 seats, with the snp down to six. by—elections will often exaggerate the swing against the government, but still, it is the direction of travel that you cannot ignore in this by—election. i suspect that if this kind of swing were to be replicated across scotland as a whole, you'd be talking about the labour party quite clearly being the dominant party north of the border once again. keir starmer says winning this seat is a milestone on labour's road back to power. he will be hoping this victory gives his party momentum to seize more scottish constituencies, and with an election looming, perhaps also the keys to number ten. let's get the latest from lorna now. lorna, what does this result mean for both labour and the snp ahead of the general election? labour would certainly like it to be a reflection of what is to come, but in truth it is one step in a long journey back, albeit it is a big step. they won more than 50% of the vote in what is traditionally a marginal seat, vote in what is traditionally a marginalseat, double vote in what is traditionally a marginal seat, double the number of votes for the snp candidate, so a big and in their words seismic victory here in rutherglen and hamilton west. you see the position starting because this is because of the dissatisfaction on the part of voters in what they call the incompetence of two governments, both the conservatives and the snp, and in truth, the conservatives also had a very bad night here, they lost their deposit, the slump in their vote was so low. but for the snp, this was terrible. they tried to manage expectations ahead of it, they said it would always be challenging, and i have had a difficult year, there is an ongoing police investigation into the funding and finances of the snp, it was their mp who was booted out after breaking covid regulations, and they are an incumbent party, and often voters like to use by—elections to give the party of government a bit of a kicking. but i think to be fair the snp recognise that they do face a tricky situation going forward, they will have to deflect on it, they say they will listen to the voters, try and change, they accept this is a difficult result for them, but in a wider context, labour have doubled the number of mps wider context, labour have doubled the number of mp5 from one to two. they still have a significant hill to climb, and the snp, will be at their share of the vote on polling suggests it is slipping a little, it is still the dominant party here in scotland. ., ., ., is still the dominant party here in

attack on a village in the north—east of ukraine. president zelensky described the attack as an act of russian terror. our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse reports. "this body is badly burnt," says the rescuer. "maybe you'll recognise them." "no, it's not her," the woman replies. missile attacks are an almost daily occurrence here, but rarely are they this destructive. a well—rehearsed routine for emergency crews, which doesn't get any easier. translation: my brother, sister. in law, and my mother were killed. oleksandr�*s family were at a funeral wake of a local soldier. most of the victims had been sitting around a large table inside a cafe, a shared moment of grief cut short. translation: constantly, constantly, we were pulling out someone. - it was a nightmare. ukraine accuses russia of launching a short range ballistic missile, killing more than 50 in a village of 300. translation: we were in a town nearby and heard an explosion. i we were then told that something happened here, and we came because my mother was here. ringtones fill the silence from the phones of the dead. translation: russian military knew where they were striking. _ it was not a blind attack. people had gathered there for a memorial meal. who could launch a missile at them? only absolute evil, absolute slaughter. at a speech in sochi, vladimir putin didn't reference the attack, but suggested ukraine would be dead within a week if its western help was to stop. ukraine is fighting to prevent that from happening, but it's hurting. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. there will be an independent review into the air traffic control failures which caused thousands of flights to be cancelled over the august bank holiday, the regulator has announced. the uk civil aviation authority called for the review into what caused the technical issue. more than 2,000 flights were cancelled across the weekend and many more were delayed, affecting hundreds of thousands of passengers. a group of mps and peers is calling for a ban on the use of live facial recognition technology for public surveillance. the cameras — which were used by police at the king's coronation earlier this year — have been outlawed in the eu. metro bank's shares have plunged after reports it is seeking to raise millions of pounds to bolster its finances. the bank's shares sank by as much as a third after newspapers reported it needed to raise up to £600 million. the labour leader sir keir starmer says he can't commit to reviving the northern leg of hs2 if the party wins the next election. mr starmer said he had wanted the high—speed line to be "built in full," but said the government had taken a "wrecking ball" to its finances. we can get more on this now with our political correspondent hannah miller. rishi sunak made the decision and effectively laid down the gauntlet, what will you do, to the labour party. what will you do, to the labour pa . .. . what will you do, to the labour pa . ., , ., what will you do, to the labour pa . . , ., , ., what will you do, to the labour pa. party. that is a question you'll hear a lot _ party. that is a question you'll hear a lot in _ party. that is a question you'll hear a lot in the _ party. that is a question you'll hear a lot in the coming - party. that is a question you'll hear a lot in the coming days i party. that is a question you'll. hear a lot in the coming days as labour heads into its conference, lots of questions from keir starmer about what his policies will be, but on hs2, he has said that he cannot commit to building it in full, because he says the government has suggested that within weeks it will look to start to sell off some of the land that had been earmarked for development and sell off some of the houses that had been purchased as well. this was keir starmer's reaction to that. they have blown a huge hole in this, and therefore i can't stand here and say i will commit to reversing that, not least because they are already... why can't you ? because they have made a complete mess, they have blown a hole in the project, they are already beginning to release the land that is needed between birmingham and manchester. so i cannot commit. those are practical reasons, but there are also political reasons focused on the same this as well. he knows that if you were to commit to building hs2 in full, he would immediately be asked, what about all those other projects that have just been announced by the government? and he instead has said the labour party would continue with those projects that are under way. he has also committed to northern powerhouse rail, that connection from hull across to liverpool, he says the party would get on with that. some of this will frustrate people within the labour party who feel that keir starmer needs to be bold, ambitious, look very different to rishi sunak and to the government, but i think what is going on is part of a wider strategy within his team. they want to be seen as competent, is predictable, as people who will not come along and, to use keir starmer's language, take a wrecking ball to projects that are under way. they think that businesses in particular have had to deal with a lot of different unpredictable circumstances, and they want to be able to win at those businesses back onside. hannah, thank you- _ the former leeds rhinos rugby league player rob burrow is being honoured with a pride of britain award. the special recognition award is shared with his wife lindsay and best friend and former team—mate kevin sinfield, who between them have campaigned to raise awareness and millions of pounds for motor neurone disease charities. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. unseasonal warmth heading our way this weekend. temperatures are set to rise across southern areas through the weekend and into next week, the best of the sunshine across the south, but it will not be the same everywhere. parts of scotland distinctly cool and very wet, especially through tomorrow, before things warm up a little bit through sunday and into monday. at the moment, the rain that will bring horrible conditions to scotland is actually across parts of northern england towards northern ireland right now. heaviest burst across parts of cumbria, but the north of it, not a bad day for many parts of scotland, pretty windy across the far north—east, with winds up to 60 mph. rain edging into parts of dumfries and galloway for the next few hours, still remain in the west of england and south wales, but sunshine turnaround to start your friday, some low cloud through the english channel to watch out for, continuing sunny spell throughout the day. further sunshine at times. under special use of high ground, but same and in the north—east, northern ireland wetter this afternoon, and then becoming more extensive in the far south—west of scotland later. captures around 13 and stornoway, 22 in norwich and london. through tonight and tomorrow, further weather. matt, thanks very much, see you in half an hour. preparations are well underway for the paralympics next year, one of the biggest sporting events in the world. but it all started out as a small competition at stoke mandeville hospital in buckinghamshire. there's a very special launch going on there today, and breakfast�*sjohn maguire is there for us. a lot to be amazed by, frankly, i am looking behind you, no disrespect, to extraordinary achievements of what can be done. absolutely blown away, an interesting thing about actually as it was one of the very first sports that was here at stoke mandeville hospital, as it was then, this is stoke mandeville stadium where we are here. take a look at this, a site on the string and one on the front of the bow. you will then fire any second now. how did you get on? looks like a bull's—eye! of course it is. we are here at stoke mandeville because they decided that from now on, the paralympic flame will start here. the olympic flame of course come from olympia every year, then the torch starts to from olympia every year, then the torch starts to wear from olympia every year, then the torch starts to wear going from olympia every year, then the torch starts to wear going in from olympia every year, then the torch starts to wear going in the world, but this is what they will be doing here at stoke mandeville, because this is the birthplace of the modern paralympics. it was known as the stoke mandeville games for many years, despite where it went around the world. all the brain child of one extraordinarily originally 75 years ago. —— one extraordinarily visionary. it's incredible to think that what was called a hospital sports day, coinciding with the london olympics in 1948, has grown into one of the biggest international events on the planet. it was the brainchild of professor sir ludwig guttmann, a neurologist who fled the nazis, and at stoke mandeville hospital in buckinghamshire, set about rehabilitating people with spinal injuries. i haven't got much hope, doctor. you haven't got much hope? no. look here, cut that out, will you? at the time, life expectancy for a paraplegic patient was just two years. immobility led to infections. but the professor had other radical ideas, and he was characteristically blunt about it. to put it quite clearly, to transform a helpless individual, severely disabled, into a taxpayer. that sounds very materialistic, but there's a deep philosophy behind it. atjust18, sally haines was a very promising horsewoman, but a riding accident damaged her spine, and she was treated at stoke mandeville. living near the hospital, she was well used to seeing patients in wheelchairs. so when i actually finished up being one of them, i wasn't scared. i was horrified, but i wasn't scared, because i had this great faith in guttmann because of his already acknowledged achievements. naturally competitive, sallyjumped at the chance to join the team for what was now known as the stoke mandeville games, being staged after the rome olympics in 1960. she went on to win gold and silver medals at subsequent events, and became a trailblazer for wheelchairfencing in the uk, all the while embodying the spirit of the games. it was compensation for what i couldn't do with my riding and racing, showjumping. it was a replacement for that because i hadn't found anything to replace that feeling of... i wanted to make myself better at doing it, which was the same with riding all the time. it was what you were looking for, and the wheelchair sport was giving me what i was looking for. her family and friends organised a horse show to raise money, and this is sally as a cheque is handed over to professor guttmann to pay for the athletes' flights to rome. over the years, the stoke mandeville games have become the paralympics. they've grown hugely in scale, ambition, and global recognition. with the idea to create the flame here and start every torch relay from now on, the fire that was lit by professor guttmann 75 years ago should now burn brighter than ever. just a year now until paris, but of these athletes will be competing in paris, both silver medallists at previous paralympics. we willjust let him shoot this arrow. another bull's—eye?

silver panel and it medallists in the archery team event. so impressive. the time now is 8.23. two months after the high street bargain chain wilko went into administration, the final stores will close their doors this weekend. peter's looking at this for us this morning. everyone has a memory of wilko. i do not think i would have got through my university days in liverpool without it. an incredibly sad weekend for wilko. when we first found that the brand we all know and love is in trouble a couple of months ago, there were hopes the chain could be saved, and there was a bit of a roller—coaster. members and shoppers, but sadly on sunday the brand will disappear from the high street. the final 41 branches will pull down their shutters, but what happens next to those empty shops and their staff? we know that the owner of poundland has bought 71 wilko stores, reopening under its own brand, many with former wilko workers. ten opened last weekend, another ten will open this weekend and the rest will follow. another rival chain, b&m, they have agreed to buy up to 51 stores, but there are discussions happening with landlords at the moment, we might find out more details next month. another discount retailer, the range, has agreed a £5 million deal for the wilko brand and website, so the name will survive in some form. but wilko employed around 12,500 staff. some have been offered roles with other retailers, but the majority have been made redundant. and when you take away the stores sold to poundland and b&m, you're letter that was 286 wilko units with no future as it stands. a very emotional time for staff and shoppers. emma simpson has been back to leicester where wilko was founded to leicester where wilko was founded to join workers for their final shift. it has been a long goodbye. across the country, the workers from wilko have been posting videos on social media. including the distribution centre. going out in style. but when it is the final day of trading, there is still a job to do. just there is still a 'ob to do. just clear the — there is still a job to do. just clear the shelves, _ there is still a job to do. just clear the shelves, the - there is still a job to do. ilgt clear the shelves, the aim of the game today, so every last piece. never thought it would come to this. pleasure to work with you. like a family _ pleasure to work with you. like a famil . .. . . pleasure to work with you. like a famil . . , , ., family. one last shift together in leicester. shouts _ family. one last shift together in leicester. shouts to _ family. one last shift together in leicester. shouts to be - family. one last shift together in leicester. shouts to be signed, i leicester. shouts to be signed, plenty of hugs, an emotional day for everyone. —— shirts to be signed. karen has been here for 28 years. i am dreading when we close, we have to do the last announcement and that shutter comes down. i thought we would be saved. everybody thought we would be saved. everybody thought we would be saved.— would be saved. thank you, thank ou, would be saved. thank you, thank you. thank— would be saved. thank you, thank you. thank you- — would be saved. thank you, thank you, thank you. customers - would be saved. thank you, thank you, thank you. customers have i would be saved. thank you, thank - you, thank you. customers have come to see cheerio, _ you, thank you. customers have come to see cheerio, too. _ you, thank you. customers have come to see cheerio, too. she _ you, thank you. customers have come to see cheerio, too. she made - you, thank you. customers have come to see cheerio, too. she made my - to see cheerio, too. she made my sho -|n~ to see cheerio, too. she made my shopping trips _ to see cheerio, too. she made my shopping trips happy _ to see cheerio, too. she made my shopping trips happy with - to see cheerio, too. she made my shopping trips happy with her - to see cheerio, too. she made my i shopping trips happy with her smile. such a _ shopping trips happy with her smile. such a sad _ shopping trips happy with her smile. such a sad day. shopping trips happy with her smile. such a sad day-— such a sad day. there is a parting rift. the such a sad day. there is a parting gift. the shelves _ such a sad day. there is a parting gift. the shelves are _ such a sad day. there is a parting gift. the shelves are almost - such a sad day. there is a parting i gift. the shelves are almost empty, but this tribute board at least will survive, heading to the local museum. there are some really lovely messages here. i have reported on an awful lot of retailers going fast over the years, and i have not seen such affection for a brand and its staff since the collapse of woolworths 14 years ago. meet jan and david, they have racked up nearly a century of wilko between them. ., ., ., nearly a century of wilko between them. ., , . , them. the good old days. we still traded the story _ them. the good old days. we still traded the story were _ traded the story were aggressively, didn't we?

across the country. lots of reasons for the demise of wilko, but one was footfall, the number of people visiting retail spaces, people may be choosing retail parks over city centres. last month, footfall is down across the board, from the same month last year, not as many people heading to town centres, retail parks, especially to shopping centres, another reminder of the challenges for retailers today. lots of messages from viewers who love wilko, an interesting point from somebody say, is it any coincidence that parking is free but high streets, shopping centres getting more expensive? i was thinking that all, we said it was a bit of a woolworths moment. it kind of became a sort of one—stop shop, didn't it? a place you could go to for everything. but i guess the question is, do we really need those kind of one—stop shops now? well, we like them, because we have had so many messages from people who are quite reminiscent of it, and look at how happy the staff were, and how sad they are, they enjoyed theirjobs, how sad they are that the stores are closing. so it is definitely a place on someone's heart. absolutely. peter, thanks so much. time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. a very good morning. welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. a man in his 20s has suffered head injuries after being attacked in a homophobic assault in chadwell heath. the man and his partner were both verbally abused by a group of six men along high road before the attack took place. the met say no arrests have been made, but are appealing for information. the leader of havering council has said the authority could go bankrupt in six months. ray morgon blamed increasing costs and spending on social care and housing for the problems. the council has no single party in overall—control and is led by havering residents association. two of london's leading allergy doctors have produced a new super—guide to help people who suffer from severe food

that bit warmer today. we've got plenty of sunny spells. and, like i say, the temperature just starts to rise. now through this morning, we've got plenty of sunny spells, a bit of fairweather cloud bubbling up perhaps through the afternoon. still a southwesterly breeze, but temperatures reaching a warm 22 celsius, certainly above average for the time of year. now into this evening and overnight, it stays dry and it stays clear, perhaps a little bit of patchy cloud and perhaps one or two mist patches developing by dawn as well. the minimum temperature around 11 celsius. so another mild night. high pressure into saturday stays with us steering any fronts away to the north. so again, it's going to be a fine and dry day. lots of sunshine through saturday, the wind a bit lighter and temperatures potentially at a warm 24 celsius. now, we've got similar conditions, perhaps with a little more cloud on sunday, but the sunshine stays with us as we head into next week and so do the temperatures. tuesday, wednesday, 24 or 25 celsius. and just a reminder about the make a difference awards which took place earlier this week — where we recognised the many people who went that extra mile for their community at a special evening in central london. well, you can hear all the winners' remarkable stories on bbc radio london from 8 o'clock this evening and on bbc sounds. and congratulations to everyone who won and who was nominated. that's it from me. there's more on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour but for now let's cross back to naga and charlie. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. you might remember the remarkable story we brought you a month ago, when a group of charity fundraisers from runcorn were caught in the atlas mountains as a devastating earthquake hit morocco, killing 3,000 people. they were involved in rescue missions when they were out there, saving the lives of a brother and sister and have since been back to meet them. before we catch up, let's take a look at their story so far. nora fakim reports. this is 17—year—old hajar — rescued from morocco's deadly earthquake, which killed more than 3,000 people last month. the disaster hit a sparsely populated area of the high atlas mountains, where hajar and her nine—year—old brother were found. it was thanks to a group of british fundraisers, who spotted them when they were at the base camp on mount toubkal when the earthquake happened. keith, a paramedic, was amongst the group and helped treat the siblings. and to treat them with some painkiller medication, some antibiotics and some fluids. and then i travelled with the young girl to hospital in marrakesh, which took what felt like an eternity. and then i stayed with her in the hospital. keith was just one of a large group, who had travelled to morocco on a charity climb and found themselves on the scene as the earthquake struck. i thought, that's a very big thunderstorm that's happening. but then the ground started to move as well. and you could hear the rock falls, but had no idea where they were due to there being no light. but you could see some sparks where rocks were hitting one another. very frightening. definitely not something i've been through before and probably wouldn't like to go through again. the clear up continues in morocco,

england suffered a defeat against new zealand. england will need to stay together, and not panic and hope that talisman ben stokes is back in time, for their second match at the cricket world cup on tuesday when they will face bangladesh. eight more games to go in the round robin stage. the top four will go into the semi finals. but it was the worst possible start for the defending champions. england batting first, with root leading the way. but no—one else got a really decent score in ahmedabad. england finished their 50 overs with a modest 282—9. that always looked a vulnerable total. and new zealand galloped to it, losing just one wicket. with 82 balls to spare, that's over 13 overs left. england left worried but no time to panic. completely outplayed. but, you know, the first thing that springs to mind is, you know, whether you do lose by a run or a defeat like that, it is one loss at the start of a very long tournament. we've got a lot of experience in the room, guys who've been through lots of things and faced defeats like that before. sojust as if we had won the game, we don't get too high and we don't get too low when we lose as well. now to a busy night of european club football and west ham can now claim to be better in europe than the great leeds side of the 1960s, the spurs team of the '70's and the current manchester city side. the hammers are the first english side to go 17 consecutive games unbeaten in european competition, dating back through last season as well. thanks to goals from from lucas paqueta and nayef agerd, which were enough to beat freiberg in the europa league. all the other teams only managed a run of 16 european games unbeaten. thousands of brighton fans were celebrating in marseilles last night on their first european travels. they didn't win but fought back from two goals down to get their first ever point in europe, thanks to a pascal gross goal and a latejoao pedro penalty. and so it felt like a win. also in the europa league, a late strike from diogojota, and a first liverpool goal for ryan gravenberg, was enough for victory for liverpool against union saint—gilloise on a night when brothers alexis, and kevin mac allister, played against each other. kevin is named after macauley caulkin's character in home alone — a favourite film in their native argentina. rangers must stick together, according to steven davis, their caretaker manager, after his reign got off to a bad start. a 2—1 defeat, away to cypriot side aris limassol. all four sides in group c sit on three points from their opening two games. it was the late, late show for aston villa in theirfirst home european game in 13 years. frustrated by zrinski mostar of bosnia in the europa conference league, untiljohn mcginn finally got the only goal of the game in the fifth minute of injury time. elsewhere, a bit of history for aberdeen, who drew 1—1 with hjk helsinki. bojan miovski scored a late equaliser with just over ten minutes left on the clock at pittodrie, to earn their first european point since 2007. more late drama in glasgow, as celtic beat champions lasgow city, with a late goal in the scottish women's premier league. everything happened in the last 20 minutes — glasgow had a player sent off, leading to celtic�*s first goal from the penalty spot and it stayed 1—1 until colette cavanagh scored the 89th minute winner at airdrionian's excelsior park stadium. now it hasn't been a great week for great britain at the gymnastic world championships in antwerp so far, no medals yet, but hope that tonight, jessica gadirova could change that. she's in action in the women's all—around final, alongside fellow brit ondeen achampong, who's also 19. tough competition though, american simone biles, is amongst those competing. it should be a great night. you can watch it on bbc two tonight from seven o'clock. that was one of your signature moves, wasn't it? or is such a shame when you see them begin their remarkable moves and you do not see it till the end. you can imagine! good to know he can do that move. backin good to know he can do that move. back in the day. was it, really? really? he wasn't even

were significantly above normal and where it is blue cooler conditions. after an exceptionally hot september, it remains very hot, ten to 12 degrees above normal in iberia and alpine regions. in scotland many will see temperatures above where they should be for the time of year. while some of you will see the unseasonable warmth, for others it will be pretty wet. that is meaningful parts of scotland. the brighter colours here, the southern highlands, parts of argyll and bute, there could be 150 argyll and bute, there could be150 millimetres of rain, which could cause some flooding. that has been driven by a huge area of high pressure across central and southern europe. driving around that the warmer air and these weather fronts which will set across scotland. this weather front will be responsible. at the moment, parts of england and northern wales, parts of scotland and northern ireland. turning heavy. to the north, brighter with a few showers that are very windy in the north—east of scotland. we could see winds gusting up to 50, 6o north—east of scotland. we could see winds gusting up to 50, 60 miles north—east of scotland. we could see winds gusting up to 50,60 miles an hour. there will be cloudy moments and a bit of sunshine filter that will let temperatures to 22 degrees, compared with 13 in stornoway and loic built at temperatures above normal for the loic built at temperatures above normalfor the time of loic built at temperatures above normal for the time of year through the day. tonight they rain will turn heavier and more persistent across scotland. the brighter colours indicating where the heavy rain setting in the west. we will see heavy rain for a time but things will turn brighter later. enough of a breeze to keep most fog patches at bay. in scotland, temperatures were not left much. it will sit cloudy and wet for most any day, the exception in the final. northern ireland, england and wales, a fair bit of cloud with sunny breaks. we have to watch out for low cloud in the west. what a day of contrast on saturday! 24 degrees in the south and aberdeen could be around six or seven full some parts of scotland. slowly starting to turn lighter and work its way north. central and southern scotland, much brighter conditions were slightly warmer. elsewhere, varying amounts of cloud, sunny spells are temperatures getting into the mid to high teens. for many across england and wales by the low 20s. some of the warmth will last into the of next week. thing getting cooler later. we had a guest here here does not like the sun. you are not making him very happy. head to scotland this weekend. thank you very much. we were all paying attention for a moment. nicky wyatt from manic street preachers. —— from manic

bbc news. this morning we're discussing toothbrushes in the classroom? dentistry is in decay. whenever we discuss it, we are absolutely inundated. lots of aspects to it. but we are going to talk about kids' teeth today. i'd hazard it's a similar picture everywhere. the labour party has pledged to bring in supervised tooth—brushing in schools. many schoolteachers are doing this already, of course. teachers, have you got to do this? hygiene, ensuring hygiene for children, is that part of yourjob? why aren't they brushing properly at home? is it a lack of knowledge, diet, poor parenting, isolation in school, ongoing health problems, mental health problems, missing school because of the pain as well? teachers, mums, dads, dentists, get in touch with us and tell us what you think
