injerusalem. bring us up to date with the situation this morning in relation to the crossing, the rafah crossing? well, we are expecting the rafah crossing to continue to operate. there were 320 foreign passport holders allowed out yesterday. we don't know exactly how many britons. but we now in gaza itself, there have been about 200 british passport holders who have been stock, some of them like the in—laws of the scottish first minister are people who went there planning a short family visit and got stuck. last night we know that rishi sunak spoke to the egyptian president. there are more efforts under way to try to get people out. diplomatic sources saying that over the next couple of weeks a total of about 7500 foreign passport holders will be allowed out of the gaza strip. and of course on top of that dozens of palestinians have already come out. we are expecting more wounded palestinians to come out and be treated at this new egyptian field hospital set up not very far from the crossing. what not very far from the crossing. what u dates do not very far from the crossing. what updates do you _ not very far from the crossing. what updates do you have _ not very far

the military last night where the chief spokesman said that the israeli forces had now broken through hamas lines of defence in the north of the gaza strip. there was one commander who came out and said the ground forces were now at the gates of gaza city. so, of course, that is quite ominous. we know that the israelis want to advance on gaza city. they believe that hamas has a large underground tunnel network. it has been using that as its main command and control centre. 0vernight been using that as its main command and control centre. overnight in gaza city we are hearing from people that there were very loud explosions, still the constant noise of shelling going on. at the same time hamas has been putting out its own videos showing it is fighting back, particularly against the israeli ground forces. thank you for the moment. the prime minister rishi sunak will be talking to the tech billionaire elon musk later, on the final day of the first global summit on artificial intelligence, held at bletchley park. 0ur political correspondent ione wells joins us now, this conversation, prime minister and elon musk, it has been described differently as an interview, a chat, a meeting. what

about both the potential benefits and potential risks of ai. about both the potential benefits and potential risks of al. the prime minister has already talked about some potential risks, including the ability to... downing street will argue it is important to engage with key players like elon musk to find areas of agreement. and this is no doubt a pr coup really for this ai summit, given he is such a big name. but it has raised some eyebrows, not least because of elon musk�*s reputation for being a bit of a maverick. he has called for less regulation, less moderation, maximum free speech when it comes to his own platform at a time when the government has passed its new online safety act, which is designed to protect people from harmful material online. he will no doubt have strong views on how ai should or shouldn't be regulated. he has called for a six—month pause to the development of ai. it has registered his own ai company. he has also been accused in the past of spreading conspiracy theories, disinformation, himself. all of these potentially make it a slightly risky conversation. we understand the version that will be put online will be a version filmed, edited by the prime minister's office, so in that sense they do have some protection from the conversation potentially going off the rails a little bit. but i think certainly there is a political risk to this too. elon musk certainly has a big following. but he is not an elected politician. he is the richest man in the world. one of the criticism that has been sometimes level that rishi sunak by his critics is that he is out of touch with the concerns of ordinary people. so potentially a political risk year of appearing too much under the influence of somebody like elon musk. thank you very much. the former chief executive of nhs england, simon stevens, will be the latest to give evidence to the covid inquiry later today. it follows comments yesterday from the uk's second—most senior civil servant helen macnamara, who told the told the hearing she would struggle to pick a day when covid rules were followed properly in downing street. ms macnamara also said a sexist and macho culture meant women's perspectives were missed in decision—making during the pandemic. an australian woman has been arrested over the suspected mushroom poisoning deaths of three people. erin patterson has always maintained her innocence over the incident, which left three members of her ex—husband's family dead, following a family meal injuly. the 49—year—old said she had bought the ingredients at a supermarket. the royal mint has begun producing a new set of coins inspired by britain's natural habitat. the designs will feature british bees, a puffin and atlantic salmon, and they're expected to enter circulation at the end of this month. a painting of the pop star harry styles by david hockney has gone on display at the national portrait gallery as part of an exhibition dedicated to the artist. drawing from life re—opens today, after being postponed due to the pandemic. it features more than 30 new portraits by hockney whic are on show for the first time. famous cardigan, harry styles. 17 minutes past six. as we say hello to carol. good morning to you carol. not such a good morning from many parts of the country. i heard you say they were winds of 93 mph? absolutely right, naga. you certainly did. that gust of wind was recorded just an hour ago onjersey airport. the met office has two amber weather warnings in force. this first one for the south—west is current and it runs out at 11 o'clock this morning. wind speeds, gusts of 70 to 80 mph. the second one started at six. it has just come into force. it runs until five o'clock this evening. so, some damaging and dangerous gust of wind likely to cause disruption and also potentially some damage. we are talking about the channel islands, the jersey met service has talking about the channel islands, thejersey met service has a red wind warning in force. we have already seen in excess of 90 mph in open waters. it could be more than that. some huge waves are likely. 0n the coasts and the coastal routes, as these waves whipped up over the barriers, you will find they may have some beach material embedded in them. it is not going to be a pretty picture. that is only half of it. we have also got some heavy rain. it has been pouring in through the night and will continue to do so as we go through the course of today. a cold start in scotland and northern ireland. a touch of frost here and there but it is much quieter. through the day the low pressure centre, storm ciaran, will continue to push northwards and eastwards. in the centre of the storm the winds are light. on the back side of that song, the winds are strong and very gusty. the winds will slowly start to come down a little bit in the southwest this afternoon but will start to strengthen in the north—east of scotland. you can see how the rain transfers here as well into areas where the ground is already saturated. some big impacts are quite likely. well noted, we will be getting updates throughout the morning, as $0 as so many people are going to be concentrating on particularly those areas. thank you very much. 19 minutes past six. let's take a look at today's papers. many of today's papers focus on the opening of the rafah crossing in southern gaza. the daily telegraph says that israel is vetting all foreign nationals leaving the strip "for links to terrorism". the times reports that some diplomats have suggested that up to 7,500 people could be allowed out of gaza in the coming weeks. the guardian focuses on a study which suggests that the pandemic caused sustained harm to the brain health of over—sos, regardless of whether they caught covid or not. the study says that lifestyle changes and lockdown conditions led to an acceleration in cognitive decline. the metro devotes its front page to the world's first artificial intelligence summit being held at bletchley park. the paper quotes king charle's opening speech, in which the monarch said ai has the potential to completely transform life as we know it. an image which has been widely used in the today's papers is this one of queen camilla feeding milk to a baby elephant called mzinga during a visit to sheldrick wildlife trust in nairobi. the king and queen are on a four—day visit to kenya. there is a rather lovely picture of a baby rhinoceros you liked as well. yes, king charles next to a baby rhinoceros. i may be stating the obvious, but they

if you didn't have anything to measure its size. not like puppies, where they have got big pause. i'm going to stick to the animal theme. when you think of a starfish, where do you think it's brenes?

five projections, with a mouth that faces towards the ground. and a bottom the opposite side that faces upwards. if you are going to think of one think of it as a disembodied head. this is from scientists. it is embodied head walking around the sea floor and its lips, the lips having sprouted feet to sort food particles to do the walking. so, if you think different parts of the arms as well correspond to different parts of the head, the front most ones located near the centre of the arms, the rearmost located near the edges. so, they've sat at the bottom, bottom of they've sat at the

months since a devastating fire, thought to be caused by a faulty e—bike battery, tore through the home of scott peden, claiming the lives of his partner, their two young children, and their dogs. scott was placed into a coma for several weeks following the blaze. now homeless, and living with his mum, he's been telling tim muffett why he's joining calls for tougher regulations on batteries. iscreamed, "gemma — the kids, pass me the kids." i heard a voice from her saying, "i can't get out." the fire department came. they asked me who was in the house and ijust screamed, "everyone!" injune, scott bought a replacement battery online for his e—bike. the original one had been stolen. cambridgeshire fire and rescue service believes that replacement battery caused a devastating blaze in his home the following week. it was a day before work. i had put the bike on charge, as i do every single night. we were all woken by an almighty bang. my bike was spitting out flames from the ground floor all the way up to the second floor. it was a scene out of a nightmare. i proceeded to jump out the window to try and fight the fire, while my missus was sorting the kids and the two dogs out. apparently, my clothes were on fire. i didn't actually realise this at the time. badly burned with a broken ankle, scott was taken to hospital and placed in an induced coma for four weeks. my mum and my dad broke the news to me. and yeah, i lost my girlfriend, my son, my daughter, and our two dogs. she was the most amazing person in the world. she was nice to everyone. i miss her so much. lily, she would have been nine injanuary. her and her brother 0liver had the most amazing relationship. they played constantly. i'm dreading this new life that i've been forced to start. i want my old life back. lithium ion batteries contain a large amount of energy in a small space. but this is thermal runaway, demonstrated in a lab. if a cell in a faulty battery heats up uncontrollably, a devastating chain reaction can follow. this incident happened in illingworth in west yorkshire in february, when an electric motorbike was left on charge overnight. no one had ever told me that these things can overheat and explode. no one ever told me about the lithium batteries give off an absolute toxic gas if they go up. and when they do go up, they're like a bomb. this is cctv footage of another incident in london this year. because we've pretty much got the responses for that ready... chelsea and westminster hospital burns unit. the team here say they're treating more and more people injured by fires caused by faulty lithium ion batteries. as they go up, they have a huge amount of heat to them. patients are a lot of the time needing grafting, surgery and maybe even intensive care support. it's incredibly life changing for these patients, not only with the nature of the injury, but also the long term. so they may have lost their homes. and so, actually discharging these patients, sometimes they don't have anywhere to go to. i think it reflects a change i in the devices that we're using. so we started with the vaping, l and some of those catching fire, smaller fires, smaller batteries. we've then moved on. now we've got bigger batteries. and i suppose we are just packing much more power into— something smaller, - that can cause a bigger fire. the rise in the number of fires started by faulty lithium ion batteries is causing widespread concern. in london, it is the fastest growing fire trend, according to the london fire brigade, with a blaze on average every two days. always store or charge your e—bikes or e—scooters, if possible, outside or in an outside building. if that's not possible, store it somewhere in your home where you can shut the door on it, make sure that you've got a working smoke detector, and it definitely does not block your escape route. there are also growing calls for legally enforced third party safety certification of batteries and chargers, as well as the regulation of online sales. i came out of that house with nothing. not even the clothes on my back, because they were ripped off me in the garden. there needs to be a law about buying second—hand batteries. they need to be checked and mot—ed. do not put them on charge near your exit, because you don't want to be the next person that has to go through what i've just gone through. thanks to scott for talking to us. 0bviously his life has been devastated by what has happened. we are going to be talking to an electrical safety charity just after eight o'clock. we will get more information about these e—bike can do and the proposals when it comes to the batteries. more on that at ten past eight. coming up... sitting here brings it all back. it is a wonderful feeling. it's the best place in the world to be. memories of concorde — nearly 20 years since the world's most iconic aircraft touched down for the last time, we'll hear how the custodians of one of them, plans to mark the anniversary. never went, did you? neverwent, did you? no. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. rail providers are warning of potential serious disruption from storm ciaran. southern says anyone travelling south of london should consider whether theirjourney is necessary as there is a "strong risk of fallen tress and debris being blown onto tracks". it's asking people specifically not to travel from brighton in towards london during this morning's peak. rail services to the south west are also being cancelled and passengers are being advised to check before travelling. we extra teams standing by to respond to incidents such haveas fallen trees or debris on the line. and we've also got our leaf busting trains out and cleaning the tracks. during autumn, we're going to see a lot of leaves falling over the next few hours as the wind and the rain comes. so we're ready to respond to that. and our teams are working hard to get the railway back to normal as soon as we possibly can. residents in an area of south east london say the irregular postal service is leading to missed hospital appointments and increased fines and tax bills. those living in east dulwich say the area has experienced issues with deliveries since the closure of a sorting office in 2018. royal mail say they have plans in place to improve the service but resident tina is frustrated with the sitation. hospital letters are not getting here. and i've tried explaining to the hospital, but obviously they cover a large area so they don't take into account that se22 has huge problems and we don't always know that we've got an appointment. and i didn't get my bank card that was sent to me in august and i had to get my bank to cancel that and resend it. today is the annual poppy day where volunteers, celebrities and armed forces personnel hand out poppies and collect donations at train and tube stations across the capital. this was the scene last year, and available for the first time this year is a new poppy which is entirely plastic free. funds raised for the royal british legion will go towards supporting veterans and their families. let's take a look at the tubes now. there are minor delays on the elizabeth line and on thejubilee and metropolitan lines and the picadilly line is part suspended. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. storm ciaran brings heavy rain and strong winds throughout today and the met office has several weather warnings in place. yellow weather warnings in place across london, surrey, the home counties, parts of essex for heavy rain and strong winds. but the coast of essex, there is an amber weather warning there. we could be seeing gusts of 70 to 80 miles per hour. elsewhere, widely 40 to 50 miles per hour and more exposed areas could get 60. heavy rain mixed in widely 20 to 30 millimetres. it's falling, of course, on saturated ground, so could lead to localised flooding. gradually it will start to clear at least a little overnight, becoming drier with some clear spells. but it is going to stay blustery overnight. you can see the isobars still quite close together. so as we head into friday, yes, it's going to be drier. we'll see some sunny spells. still can't rule out a shower tomorrow, but the breeze still there, just not quite as strong as it is today. and as we head into the weekend, it is going to stay unsettled. another low pressure system brings heavy rain for saturday. that's it. head to our website to read more about the bounce back of the city of london. about the bounce back i'm back in half an hour. about the bounce back see you then. about the bounce back hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. let's focus now on the israel—gaza war — and news that more than 400 people who were trapped in gaza, including some british and otherforeign nationals, have been allowed to cross into egypt. they left via the rafah crossing on the southern border — with the injured then treated at field hospitals nearby. the foreign office confirmed it expects more british nationals will be able to leave over the coming days. in the us, president biden hailed the diplomatic efforts that allowed the first civilians to leave. 0vernight, the israeli military said it has advanced deep into the gaza strip. it said ground, sea and airforces had broken through hamas lines in the north of the territory. the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says 8,700 people have been killed since the start of the israeli bombardment. at least 20 children are thought to make up the more than 200 hostages still being held by hamas in gaza. among the youngest are two sisters from the asher family, kidnapped, together with their mother, more than three weeks ago. theirfather, yoni has been speaking to our correspondentjon donnison. # happy birthday to you...# two sisters. raz, four, and aviv, just two. a birthday sing—song for their dad earlier this summer. but the girls, along with their mother, doron, are now hostages in gaza. and he is home alone. how can you hate a child, you know? it's painful to see a child getting hurt. anywhere, in any situation. children need to be off limits. i can't hate not even the children of my so—called enemies, yoni wasn't with the girls when they were taken on october 7th. along with their mum, they'd been staying with their grandma efrat for the holidays in the nearby kibbutz. efrat was killed. this video posted by hamas in gaza. confirmation of a father's nightmare. my little daughter, you see a little hand here, getting covered on her right. and this is my older daughter, raz, with the pink dress. tell me what you felt when you saw that video. it's hard to describe. the only thing i can put in words that can be close is i saw her. to experience these hours, those hours, it was the definition of hell. she came with from the kindergarten... with, you know, a bunch of.. inside the family home, everywhere you look are memories. ..so she she gave it to me and told me, "daddy, this is for you. "this is a superhero." so how has he felt seeing the hostage videos posted by hamas? it was not easy to watch, mainly because, people, humans, are captive, taken advantage by the one who kidnapped them. in a cynical and the lowest way possible in order to make some kind of psychological battle. i have two small children, mine are four and eight, you know? i mean, i can't imagine what the last three weeks have been like. i seriously considered to offer myself instead of them in order to exchange. specifically me, in exchange for my family. how can i sleep when i don't know if they are cold or hot? but all yoni can do is wait and tell their story. john donnison, bbc news, in central israel. 0ur our thanks for talking to our correspondence. we will show you the scene at the rafah crossing. more than 400 foreign passport holders have been allowed to leave gaza for the first time in more than three weeks. there are british and us citizens amongst them and this is the scene at the rafah crossing and we understand that this is when they leave, this is the southern border of gaza, and there are field hospitals nearby. 0fficial numbers say the 335 foreign passport holders, 76 injured people from gaza have been able to leave so far and “p have been able to leave so far and up until now that crossing was only open to allow a limited number of aid, humanitarian aid via lorries each day. unicef is one of the aid agencies providing medical equipment and supplies to those treating the injured who have crossed into egypt. toby frickerfrom unicefjoins us now. good morning to you, toby. we are looking at the images from the board itself and we understand it might open again today. tell us about the work you are able to do the people who have crossed. thank you. firstly, let me say unicef obviously welcomes the opening of the border particularly for these urgent medical cases, especially children. what we know, as you seem, the medicalfacilities inside what we know, as you seem, the medical facilities inside the gaza strip are at breaking point, essentially so it is critical that the support can be provided and on the support can be provided and on the egypt side we been supporting the egypt side we been supporting the government to provide medical supplies to those field hospitals, so we welcome that and hope it continues for critically cases but primarily we hope and keep advocating and pushing for immediate humanitarian ceasefire to stop the killing and that is really the number one priority. what kind of work are you able to do currently

from bad to worse as the holders were dumped out of the league cup 3—0 at home to newcastle united, who will face chelsea in the quarter—finals. it's a defeat that increased the pressure on under fire manager erik ten hag as nesta mcgregor reports — ask any football fan, no matter the trophy, itjust feels good to get your hands on one. with manchester united already struggling domestically and in europe, newcastle united were hoping to add a cup exit to their misery. this game is a repeat of last year's final. that day, it was manchester united fans celebrating. nine months on, the mood amongst both sets of fans couldn't be more different. prior to kick off, despite their current form, reds boss erik ten hag was confident there was no need to panic. and fires newcastle in front! however, miguel almiron may have changed his mind. and just five minutes later, his mood surely got worse. lewis hall with a swing of his left foot. newcastle double their lead! the away fans clearly having fun. the home fans, not so much. as the second half started, both managers would have stressed the importance of the next goal and it was delivered byjoe willock, this run and powerfulfinish.

hammers, beat his new club arsenal, 3—1 at the london stadium and will now travel to liverpool in the quarter—finals. rice was booed by a section of the home fans, and his team got off to the worst start as ben white own goal gifted the hosts the lead. and west ham were convincing winners, with the pick of their goals a beauty from the ghanaian international, mohammed kudus. liverpool beat bournemouth to set up their meeting with west ham. there were also wins for chelsea, and everton who will host fulham, in the last 8, after the west london side, managed an impressive 3 —1win away at championship high flyers ipswich town. and reach the quarter—finals of the league cup for the first time in 19 years. in the scottish premiership, celtic ground out a win against st mirren, coming from behind, to stay five points clear at the top. manager brendan rodgers praised the calmness and quality of his team. a sea of red flares set off fire alarms in the game between rangers and dundee had be halted and the game was halted for 15 minutes and rangers kept up the pressure on celtic winning 5—0. elsewhere there were wins in the premiership for aberdeen, saintjohnstone and hearts. an inquest heard yesterday, that sir bobby charlton died, after a fall at a care home for patients with dementia. sir bobby's life has been celebrated by fans across football since his passing, last month, including at old trafford, where he had so much success, with manchester united. the hearing was told sir bobby lost his balance, as he stood up from his chair and the coroner recorded a verdict of accidental death and finally, it became the buzz word in cricket over the summer, and now �*bazball�* has been officially recognised, and included in the collins online dictionary. the term was coined by a journalist, based on the nickname of england's test head coach, brendon mccullum. it's defined as "a style of test cricket in which the batting side attempts to gain the initiative by playing in a highly aggressive manner". not everyone was impressed with the decision, however. collins dictionary added bazball into it. so when you go to the dictionary, you'll see that in there. is that surprising? oh, man, that is garbage. i don't know what that is. honestly, i have no idea what you're talking about. he obviously doesn't like it. a bit harsh. quite an entertaining way of

reported. yes, there was a gust earlier in - miles an hour winds reported. is: there was a gust earlier in the st helier of 93 mph. what you will find is that the gusts obviously happen all the time so there is a more up—to—date one that thejersey up—to—date one that the jersey police have come up with which is 102 miles an hour and show you roughly the gusts we have been looking at at six o'clock, these are what you can expect an saint mary on the isles of scilly a gust of 77 miles an hour and guernsey airport with 74 miles an hour. these are damaging gusts. the met has two and whether one is, one for the south—west and this is valid until 11 o'clock this morning. and one for the south—east. it's valid until five o'clock this afternoon and damaging winds likely to seek disruptions and you could see your power go out and trees uprooted. if we focus for a minute or two, the jersey met service as a wind warning in force and we've already seen gusts of the strength and will continue to see this as we go through the next few hours. we also have heavy rain to add into the mix that has been falling steadily through the course of the night and in the channel islands we have the strongest winds. it's courtesy of the deep pressure from storm ciaran and it will drift northwards as we go through the course of the day but don't be full by the light winds in the centre of the storm because at the centre of the storm because at the other end of the winds are packing a punch and as it continues to drift north and east of the winds will slowly start to come down a touch in the south—west of england. you can see the rain is pushing up from eastern parts of scotland and north—east england and through the day the wind is going to strengthen. and as we head through the evening and overnight the storm continues to push into the north sea but we still have rain coming down this east coast and its falling in areas that are also saturated out towards the west, something dry and the winds will slowly be coming down for some but picking up across the north—east. and as we head into friday, this is what is left of the storm and this weather front is wrapped around it and we will have rain where we don't want it where the ground is already saturated and we had issues with flooding before but the winds will slowly ease and it will be a blustery day, just not as windy as it will be today or tomorrow and again there will be some dry weather around but some showers coming in across parts of wales and south—west england. as we move into the weekend this low pressure as the storm feels we have another coming in from the south—west and that will introduce some heavy rain into southern parts of england and what you will also find is the winds will strengthen but again we are not looking at what we have at the moment through the course of today. friday is looking unsettled for many and into saturday as well where we have the low pressure drifting across us and we are still looking at a blustery day and sunday looks like it will be a day of sunshine and showers and the main event is really from now until tomorrow. ., ., ., ,, , ., the bank of england is expected to keep interest rates on hold for the second consecutive time later. the decision will be announced at midday, ben's here to tell us more. it's that time where we wonder

into reverse but it should slow them down — them into reverse but it should slow them down. let me explain. yes, the bank of england had raised interest rates 14 times in a row, making it steadily more expensive to borrow money. but in september, we got a bit of a surprise when it froze interest rates for the first time in almost two years. the base rate stayed at 5.25 percent — and we're expecting rates to be frozen again today. this might be a small relief if you own a home or you're looking to buy. it's worth saying though that the current rate is still the highest it's been in 15 years. now, the reason for freezing interest rates ties into inflation — the rate at which prices are rising. after falling for three months in a row, inflation stayed at 6.7 percent in september. let's look at the relationship between the two. this first line is inflation, and you can see how it climbed quickly, peaking at more than 11% at the end of last year. but it's started to fall. the second line is the interest rate — and we can see it was pretty much at zero a couple of years ago, but has been rising steadily. the theory is that by raising rates, it becomes more expensive to borrow money, people have less to spend, and demand falls — so businesses put their prices up more slowly. but in the short term higher interest rates hit borrowers. millions of homeowners with a fixed rate mortgage deal that has recently come to an end — or end soon — are now seeing significantly higher monthly repayments, squeezing those household budgets even further. and it's more expensive for people to even get on the housing ladder, as the bbc's cost of living correspondent colletta smith has been finding out. this is my monthly dining out. i owe myself money, so i put that in as a reminder. ebony�*s doing all the right things. and then this one's like a total saving. going towards my house buying savings. she and her partner are saving carefully, putting cash into physical wallets and cutting back where she can. any pennies? i've got a penny saving challenge. so you should have £5 left at the end of the month, all to have enough to buy a house. i want to get married, get engaged this year, but then i just think that's going to wait because that's quite a big expense as it is for one day and the house is more important. with interest rates changing so often, does it feel like the goalposts just keep shifting for you? it feels like the mountain's get bigger constantly, like i'm putting in, and then you have to take out because there's more expensive coming in, so you can't put as much in, but itjust feels a bit futile at the moment because your goals get further away. it's all eyes on today's interest rates for anyone on a tracker mortgage or the 1.5 million households due to remortgage in the next six months. but for those trying to rent while saving up for a home, they're facing even more hurdles. i think first time buyers are bearing the brunt of higher rates. that's as much as anything, it's very, very bad luck in terms of timing. but they all are also carrying the can for not building enough houses, and that's manifesting in higher house prices and that's a really toxic combination. high house prices and high rates. like all lenders, leeds building society have already seen a big drop in loans to first time buyers compared to last year. the average deposit at the moment is £69,000 for a first time buyer, and that is tremendously challenging. prices are down 5%, but they would have to fall by 60—70% to be as affordable as it was back in the eighties. you know, it'd be nice to have three bedrooms and space to grow. also, managing my expectations is currently about a first time home and what you can have. whatever is announced today by the bank of england, ebony knows her dream of a place of her own is now further away than she'd hoped. it does seem like a few more years, like 12 months has turned into 18 months turned to 24 months later. it's worth saying, naga and charlie, there may be more minor relief for homeowners and those looking to buy today — as the bank of england is expected to freeze rates once again. but we'll find out for sure at midday. and illustrating their how a decision made in that historic building in london affects peoples lives in a very real way across the country. still to come

ciaran. southern, thameslink and southeastern are all advising passengers not to travel on routes south of london, as there is strong risk of fallen tress and deris being blown onto tracks. we have extra teams standing by to respond to incidents such haveas fallen trees or debris on the line. and we've also got our leaf busting trains out and cleaning the tracks. during autumn, we're going to see a lot of leaves falling over the next few hours as the wind and the rain comes. so we're ready to respond to that. and our teams are working hard to get the railway back to normal as soon as we possibly can. residents in an area of south east london say the irregular postal service is leading to missed hospital appointments and increased fines and tax bills. those living in east dulwich say the area has experienced issues with deliveries since the closure of a sorting office in 2018. royal mail say they have plans in place to improve the service. the mayor has called on the government to review new rules that will require people to provide a form of id when voting in elections. accepted forms of id include driving license, passport and older person's bus pass. the mayor suggested 900,000 londoners may struggle to provide the right form of identification. a government spokesperson disputed this figure and said that 99.75% of voters cast their vote successfully at the local elections in may. today is the annual poppy day, where volunteers, celebrities and armed forces personnel hand out poppies and collect donations at train and tube stations across the capital. this was the scene last year. and available for the first time this year is a new poppy which is entirely plastic free. funds raised for the royal british legion will go towards supporting veterans and their families. let's take a look at the tubes now. there are mionor delays on the elizabeth line and on thejubilee and metropolitan lines. the piccadilly line is part suspended between acton town and rayners lane due to an obstruction on the line. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. storm ciaran brings heavy rain and strong winds throughout today and the met office has several weather warnings in place. yellow weather warnings in place across london, surrey, the home counties, parts of essex for heavy rain and strong winds. but the coast of essex, there is an amber weather warning there. we could be seeing gusts of 70 to 80 miles per hour. elsewhere, widely 40 to 50 miles per hour and more exposed areas could get 60. heavy rain mixed in widely 20 to 30 millimetres. it's falling, of course, on saturated ground, so could lead to localised flooding. gradually it will start to clear at least a little overnight, becoming drier with some clear spells. but it is going to stay blustery overnight. you can see the isobars still quite close together. so as we head into friday, yes, it's going to be drier. we'll see some sunny spells. still can't rule out a shower tomorrow, but the breeze still there, just not quite as strong as it is today. and as we head into the weekend, it is going to stay unsettled. another low pressure system brings heavy rain for saturday. that's it — head to our website to read more about the bounce back of the city of london. i'm back in half an hour. see you then. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and

hailstones the size of golf balls. many properties have been damaged. and there is lots of concerned about what today could bring. as it is getting lighter we are starting to see the extent of the damage. today everything is coming to a standstill. schools will be closed, the hospital is closed apart from emergencies. everybody is advised to stay at home. it is not safe to be on the roads. trees have fallen onto the roads. there is debris everywhere. there is concern for officials. jersey police said wind speeds measured around 102 mph at around 5am this morning. i have been speaking to

prepare for this storm. we have had a couple of days a warning command likely storm of 1987. that said, despite the preparations, despite people putting sandbags out, there has been a lot of damage. people will be assessing today to see what damage has been caused by the storm overnight. thank you very much for the moment. megan allen in saint aubin. this is the view in sidmouth. this is visit

are of course for all those areas affected is very serious. people advised to stay in. red alert, danger to life and for an mornings. carol will bring us up to date. —— flood warnings. seven minutes past seven. let's bring you up—to—date on events in the middle east. and crossings over the rafah crossing, charlie? yes, we don't know the situation yet this morning. more than 400 people who were trapped in gaza, including some british and foreign nationals, have now made the crossing into egypt. individuals left via the rafah crossing on the southern border, with many of the injured transferred to field hospitals nearby. the foreign office has confirmed more british nationals will be able to leave the territory over the coming days. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell has the latest from jerusalem. gazans call at the gateway to the world. finally yesterday, the rafah crossing opened. for the first time in more than three weeks, some foreign citizens were allowed to leave the war zone for egypt, including some britons, though details were not given. many others are still waiting. this is the third time we came to the border and nothing happened. your name is not there. so i have to go back to the school, to the shelter, waiting. at the other end of the gaza strip more israeli strikes. hamas says nearly 200 people were killed here in two days. and across the region the humanitarian crisis deepens. the head of the biggest un agency in gaza entered to see for himself. i was shocked by the fact that everyone there was asking for food, was asking for water. we saw almost every child trying to express that they need to eat, they need to have water. but the war continues relentlessly 24/7. it is almost four weeks since hamas gunmen stormed the border and killed 1400 israelies. hamas is designated as a terrorist organisation by the uk government. here, the israeli army shows what it says are the weapons used against its citizens on the attacks on the 7th of october. throw these into a room, close the door shut, and it takes the temperature inside a room to 3000 degrees during that closure. it incinerate everything inside a room. nothing comes out. sirens warning of incoming rockets interrupted the event near tel aviv. when hamas launched its attack a retired israeli general drove down from tel aviv to rescue his son's family. using a rifle from a dead israeli soldier, he fought his way towards their home. this is the biggest failure in the history of the state of israel. it was a military failure. it was an intelligence failure. and it was a failure of the government. with both sides now preparing for a long, difficult war in gaza, those making it out of rafah are the lucky few. most are left to face the fighting, feeling nowhere is safe. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. let's cross to southern israel now to our correspondent anna foster. let's concentrate first on the rafah crossing. we know some people were able to leave yesterday. do we know what the situation is?— what the situation is? morning. the su: aestion what the situation is? morning. the suggestion is _ what the situation is? morning. the suggestion is that _ what the situation is? morning. the suggestion is that more _ what the situation is? morning. the suggestion is that more people i what the situation is? morning. the suggestion is that more people will| suggestion is that more people will be able to leave today. we saw yesterday morning the crossing opening for the first time for people to be able to get out of gaza. it was a slow start. but by the end of the day 335 foreign passport holders and 76 injured palestinians had been taken out. we know there has been a new and updated list published today. about 600 names on it. people with foreign passports, people with dual nationalities. around 600, with maybe 400 of those being people who hold us citizenship. the idea is, the suggestion is, that as the days go on people will be able to leave gradually at this pace we have seen in groups day after day, but as was reflected in the report there, it is important to remember that more than 2 million people live in gaza. they cannot choose to leave because gaza is controlled, the access is controlled by israel. they are under constant bombardment. it is only a very small number of people of the overall total of people in gaza leaving at the moment. people are robabl leaving at the moment. people are probably getting _ leaving at the moment. people are probably getting used _ leaving at the moment. people are probably

are out the gates of gaza city. what they mean is they are deeper inside to be stripped and i have been at any point. they are having hand—to—hand battles with hamas cells based around gaza city because that is where a lot of the hamas infrastructure command and control centres, their senior members, are based. that is a key part of the israeli military strategy. that is why they have asked people to go south. they are trying to move into gaza city. we are seeing air strikes as well on areas like the refugee camp, which areas like the refugee camp, which are killing senior hamas commanders. but we are also seeing large numbers of civilian casualties, often women and children, is this consistent bombardment goes on. anna, thank you. 13 minutes past seven. the energy giant

if they are invested in the stock market. the firm made £5.1 billion in profits in the third quarter of this year. that is down from 7.8 billion in the same three months last year. so, down by about a third. it is mainly because of the fall in wholesale oil and gas prices, which have come down from the highs of last year. they were driven up after russia invaded ukraine. while shell profits are down compared to last year'sjuly ukraine. while shell profits are down compared to last year's july to september, when they made record songs, there is the potentialfor energy prices to rise in the coming months if the war in the middle east escalates. there was a significant fall compared to the same period last year. at £2.7 billion, it was less than half. the profits made by both of these energy giants will still be considered high by many people at a time when households and businesses are still facing high energy bills as we move into winter. the government extended the windfall tax on energy firm profits until march 2028 last year. some may call for that to go further, while others warn that could risk driving profitable uk firms to move to another country, or investing less in the uk. thank you. the former chief executive of nhs england, simon stevens, will be the latest to give evidence to the covid inquiry later today. it follows comments yesterday from the uk's second—most senior civil servant helen macnamara, who told the told the hearing she would struggle to pick a day when covid rules were followed properly in downing street. ms macnamara also said a sexist and macho culture meant women's perspectives were missed in decision—making during the pandemic. the prime minister rishi sunak will be talking to the tech billionaire elon musk later, on the final day of the first global summit on artificial intelligence. musk is at the conference at bletchley park, where ai experts and global leaders discussing the potential risks of ai. a woman suspected of serving a beef wellington containing poisonous mushrooms — which killed three people — has been arrested. erin patterson has always maintained her innocence over the incident at her home in australia injuly, which left three members of her ex—husband's family dead. the 49—year—old said she had bought the ingredients at a supermarket. the royal mint has begun producing a new set of coins inspired by britain's natural habitat. the designs will feature british bees, a puffin and atlantic salmon and they're expected to enter circulation at the end of this month. the king is extremely pleased with these designs. they are a very fitting dedication to his commitment to conservation and the natural habitat of britain, so he's delighted. it is 16 minutes past seven. carol is looking at the weather. so important today to get a good idea of how storm ciara is affecting various parts, particularly in the south of the country? —— storm ciaran. that's right. that is where the strongest winds are forecast today. red is another feature of the weather. the met office is another feature of the weather. the met office has two amber weather warnings in force. correct micro rain. this one runs untilfive o'clock this afternoon. we are looking at wind of 70 to 80 mph. dangerous winds. it could uproot trees. likely to cause travel disruption. and also potentially power cuts as well. thejersey met service has a right wing warning in force for the channel islands. —— red. we can see these levels already. they have been whipping up huge waves, particularly when they coincide with high tide. so, extra care is needed. then you add on the rain as well, it has been wet, even in areas not covered by the wind warnings we have seen heavy rain. if you are travelling this morning where we have the wind warnings as well, well, there is a lot of water on the roads. through the course of today the centre of the storm, here it is, will continue to push in the direction of the north sea. in the centre, as it crosses the south, winds will drop. they will pick up again as you can see from the isobars right by the centre. by the afternoon they will ease a little bit in the south—west of england. there could still be some showers. at the same time as the storm drifts into the north sea, there will be further rain coming in across eastern scotland and north—east england. here too the wind will strengthen. temperatures fairly irrelevant today. ten to about 12 degrees. northern ireland, you will have a drier day than the rest of the country. but you might see a little bit of that ride clipping east. as we go through the evening and overnight at the low pressure again moves further into the north sea. forthe again moves further into the north sea. for the ride on areas where we have had flooding. the ground is saturated and still very windy. —— further rain. carol, thank you. an unacceptable reality is how the rising number of assaults on police has been described by the federation representing rank and file officers in england and wales. the police federation is now calling for urgent change after new research showed attacks are on the rise. in the last year, there were just over 40,000 assaults on officers in england and wales. that amounts to more than 100 assaults every day. that figure is nearly three times the number of similar incidents a decade ago. 0ur reporter emma baugh has been out on patrol with one force in cambridgeshire to hear about the challenges officers are facing. not that side, charlie. charlie, roll over. roll out that way. there we go, bud. every day front line policing — officers in peterborough, assaulted, racially abused and spat at. so this is an incident whereby a gentleman had a screwdriver in his hand. we believe that he posed a risk to us at the time. pc zach wolfe had only been in the job two weeks when he was racially abused. being pushed, punched, and even kicked, it sort of has an effect on your mental health, and you seem to think about it 24/7. it doesn't leave your head. it's friday night and first call for pc wolfe and his colleague — a man accused of assaulting another driver. there's been reports of violence. could there be more violence? thankfully, nothing has happened since we've been here. just keep your hands nice still for me, mate. but it could have gone the other way? yeah, absolutely. and that's why i went straight over to him, as soon as i'd seen that footage, and put him in cuffs. another team is called to a suspected driving and drug offence, where searching suspects can be a flashpoint. she was fairly all right with me doing it, i but most of the time if people do have things on them - that they don't want us to find, they aren't very compliant. i they can kick off, they can be quite verbal when we're doing it, - because obviously we have to pat | down in areas that unfortunatelyj they might not want us to touch. i've been punched, i've been kicked, i've been spat, bitten to the point where it's gone through my skin. i've been stabbed in the leg with a pair of scissors. more times than i can count. and i think it's only getting worse, to be fair. with attacks on officers on the rise, could senior police do more? they're really encouraged to report these assaults. so very much it's on them, but it's on the supervisor as well to make sure they do that. and they do get a lot of support from the senior management who make contact with them every time they're assaulted. and really, it's for them to kind of report those assaults. 0ffenders do face consequences. charlie spurrier was jailed for racially aggravated assault, and assaulting an emergency worker. it shows officers can face challenges any time of the day, any day of the week. emma baugh, bbc news. in a career spanning almost three decades, the world's most iconic and technologically advanced aircraft, concorde, carried everyone from royalty to rock stars. you don't have to love aircraft to know that plane. it was always special. it had a bit of mystique, magic about it. different from anything else that ever flew commercially. it was also glamorous. it had that cachet about it. now, almost 20 years since one of the remaining planes from the supersonic fleet touched down at bristol's filton airport, its custodians are preparing to mark the anniversary in their own special way. andy howard went to find out more. from the moment she was first wheeled onto the airfield at filton, concorde has drawn crowds and made memories. from those who built her, flew on her, orjust watched her soar overhead. here in the west country, our relationship with this aircraft has been described as a love affair, a 1,350 miles per hour love affair, faster than a bullet, putting the super into supersonic. memories of being in the cockpit as captain are as vivid as the rest. what a life, eh? sitting here brings it all back. it's just a wonderful feeling. i tell you, it's the best place in the world to be. and in november 2003, bristol was the place in the world that thousands wanted to be, when concorde came home for the final time. touching down on that very same runway 35 years on. concorde has landed. you'll notice the angle of the nose on landing. well, today we got a sneak peek of how it will bow again to mark the 20th anniversary. this is going to happen twice on the 26th of november. once at half past 11, and once at seven minutes past one, the exact time this aircraft landed on its finaljourney. and there's an exhibition here, too, asking three big questions. why did concorde retire? what is its legacy? and is there a place for a concorde of the future? the next month, though, is all about memories of the past. everybody seems to have a concorde tale to tell. from john travolta, to frank sinatra, to shirley maclaine, and all the politicians and film stars and sports stars of their day, they were all flying on it, and every flight had somebody on it. and whether you were one of those lucky ones, orjust watched from the ground, people's memories of the people's aircraft are all about to be stirred again. andy howard, bbc news. iam not i am not an aviation expert but i never knew the now nodded. i did know that. it stirs memories. evenif i did know that. it stirs memories. even ifjust a memory of watching it go past. very few people in reality ever went on it. maybe you did. we'd love to hear about your memories of concorde. did you fly on it back in the day? have you seen the plane in the aerospace bristol museum? you can now send us a message on whatsapp — the number is 0330123 0440, orjust scan the qr code with your phone's camera and that will automatically start a chat with us. you can still get in touch with us by email, and on twitter as well. in reality a story about when you went to a museum to see it is not as good as the one where you say you got on board concorde and sitting next to me was... the queen. muhammad ali. that is really what we are after but all welcome. if you really wanted to go on concorde and never got the chance and finally got to go on the old concorde in the museum, that could be special. 0r museum, that could be special. or you could have been with someone who went on it and was relieving memories. also, that could be but still i maintain, the story about sitting next to somebody famous is the one. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello. good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. rail providers are warning of potentially serious disruption from storm ciaran. southern, thameslink and southeastern are all advising passengers not to travel on routes south of london as there is a "strong risk of fallen tress". more than 30 departures have been cancelled at heathrow. we have extra teams standing by to respond to incidents such as fallen trees or debris on the line. and we've also got our leaf busting trains out and cleaning the tracks. during autumn, we're going to see a lot of leaves falling over the next few hours as the wind and the rain comes. so we're ready to respond to that. and our teams are working hard to get the railway back to normal as soon as we possibly can. residents in an area of south east london say the irregular postal service is leading to missed hospital appointments and increased fines and tax bills. those living in east dulwich say the area has experienced issues with deliveries since the closure of a sorting office in 2018. royal mail say they have plans in place to improve the service. the mayor has called on the government to review new rules that will require people to provide a form of id when voting in elections. accepted forms of id include driving license. passport and older person's bus pass. the mayor suggested 900,000 londoners may struggle to provide the right form of identification. a government spokesperson disputed this figure and said that 99.75% of voters cast their vote successfully at the local elections in may. today is the annual poppy day — where volunteers, celebrities and armed forces personnel hand out poppies and collect donations at train and tube stations across the capital. this was the scene last year — and available for the first time this year is a new poppy which is entirely plastic free. funds raised for the royal british legion will go towards supporting veterans and their families. let's take a look at the tubes now. there are minor delays on the elizabeth line, on thejubilee line and on the metropolitan line. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. storm ciaran brings heavy rain and strong winds throughout today and the met office has several weather warnings in place. yellow weather warnings in place across london, surrey, the home counties, parts of essex for heavy rain and strong winds. but the coast of essex, there is an amber weather warning there. we could be seeing gusts of 70 to 80 miles per hour. elsewhere, widely 40 to 50 miles per hour and more exposed areas could get 60. heavy rain mixed in widely 20 to 30 millimetres. it's falling, of course, on saturated ground, so could lead to localised flooding. gradually it will start to clear at least a little overnight, becoming drier with some clear spells. but it is going to stay blustery overnight. you can see the isobars still quite close together. so as we head into friday, yes, it's going to be drier. we'll see some sunny spells. still can't rule out a shower tomorrow, but the breeze still there, just not quite as strong as it is today. and as we head into the weekend, it is going to stay unsettled. another low pressure system brings heavy rain for saturday. that's it — head to our website to read more about the bounce back of the city of london. i'm back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty let's focus now on the israel gaza war — and news that more than 400 people who were trapped in gaza, including some british and otherforeign nationals, have been allowed to cross into egypt. they left via the rafah crossing on the southern border, with the injured then treated at field hospitals nearby. the foreign office confirmed it expects more british nationals will be able to leave over the coming days. in the us, president biden hailed the diplomatic efforts that allowed the first civilians to leave. we are in a situation where safe passage forforeign we are in a situation where safe passage for foreign nationals and wounded people has started. american citizens are able to exit today as part of the first group of probably over 1000, and we will see more of this process going on in the coming days. we are working nonstop to get americans out of gaza as soon and as safely as possible. the aid agency unicef also welcomed the opening of the rafah crossing. the medical facilities inside the gaza _ the medical facilities inside the gaza strip are at breaking point, essentially, so it's critical that the support can be provided and on the support can be provided and on the egypt _ the support can be provided and on the egypt side, they've been

said ground, sea and airforces had broken through hamas lines in the north of the territory. the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says 8,700 people have been killed since the start of the israeli bombardment. we'rejoined by salim hammad, whose father abdel is a surgeon in gaza trying to get through the rafah crossing to egypt. hello to you. i understand, and i know there was some difficulty,

those kind of missions and was supposed to be there and arrived in gaza on the 6th of october and of course everything started on the seventh and he has been stuck there since. we've obviously had a really tough three and a half weeks and today he rang me at 5am saying he was going to the crossing and he texted me five minutes ago that it was really chaotic was his words, and the hope is he would

you need to leave, something is happening. and he said this morning i was woken up and he said this morning i was woken up at 6am and i heard rockets going off in the distance and the hospital where he normally does the transplants, he asked the medical director there, transplants, he asked the medical directorthere, is transplants, he asked the medical director there, is it safe? will we be able to go ahead with the operations we've planned for three orfour operations we've planned for three or four months and the director said that should be fine and these things happen and every so often there are rockets that go across, but i think within 20 minutes it was apparent that this was very different and from there he was whisked away to a un building where he was taking shelter and it's scary for him because even when i was talking to him on the phone i could bombs falling around him and you could hear the fear in his voice even though he was trying not to let on and you could see what was going to happen and it was quite tangible and that was difficult to hear, and then on the 12th of october, he got a message saying, can you move south like the rest of gaza and they moved down near to the rafah crossing and that was difficult because hearing them all having to get out and move south was hard, because we didn't know what was happening and we didn't know there was bombing in the south, so it's been a roller—coaster of a journey. i south, so it's been a roller-coaster of ajourney— of a journey. i can only imagine, well i of a journey. i can only imagine, well i

the best of times the medical situation is poor and as a transplant surgeon and kidney doctor, the people on dialysis or who have had transplants to save their lives, i dread to think what has happened to them. the transplant patients won't be able to get the vital immunosuppression, so their precious kidneys will probably reject the dialysis patients, who need to dial eyes three times a week go to a centre to do that and they can't do that and it requires a lot of clean water and a lot of electricity and things like that. these are the people, really, who are suffering on the back of everything that is happening. 0n everything that is happening. 0n everything else as well there is the humanitarian aspect where people are struggling to get food, water, and he was describing the

description of the situation, and he is there saying it is chaotic. what happened previously is there been a suggestion of a timescale or when it might open and then all of a sudden we find of the first few people have gone through, and we understand from our sources, that has not happened and we will keep an eye on the situation at the rafa crossing this morning. mike has the latest with the sport. good morning. very disappointing evening for one of the big teams. aha, evening for one of the big teams. crazy night all round in the league cup and the big story at old trafford. manchester united and their poor run continuing. the theatre of dreams becoming the theatre of moans and groans. on a fans because this was a repeat against newcastle of the league cup final earlier this year, last season, when manchester united ran out winners, but this time there was a gulf between them. a big embarrassing defeat for the home side, another home defeat. manchester united's dreadful start to the season continues — the league cup holders were thrashed by newcastle — their eighth defeat in 15 games this season. joe willock capped off a 3—0 win, newcastle's best result at old trafford for 93 years, which sets them up with a quarter—final against chelsea and the result inevitably increased the speculation over the future of manchester united manager erik ten hag i understand when the

beat his new club arsenal 3—1 so they will travel to liverpool in the quarterfinals. he was actually booed by a small section of the home fans and his team got off to the worst start as ben white scored an own goal, gifting the hosts the lead. west ham were convincing winners. brilliant control and makes it look so easy, but it's not. liverpool beat bournemouth to set up their meeting with west ham and there were victories for chelsea and everton, who will host fulham in the last eight after the west london side managed an impressive 3—1 win away at championship high—flyers ipswich town. fulham reach the quarterfinals of the league cup for the first time in 19 years. in the scottish premiership, there were dramatic scenes at the dundee rangers game. afterjust two minutes, rangers fans set off flares that engulfed their end of dens park in a sea of red smoke and triggered the fire alarms. so the game had to be halted and the players taken off for 15 minutes rangers were unaffected though — they won 5—0, sam lammers with the third goal. that kept rangers five points behind celtic, who ground out a win, as they came from behind to beat st mirren. now just days after announcing that he'll be stepping down as australia head coach, eddiejones, has a new role in international rugby. he'lljoin the coaching set—up at the barbarians, for their game against wales in cardiff on saturday — and he says he has no regrets, over his decision to leave the wallabies after their awful world cup. there's always going to be a decision to be made whether we could change australian rugby or not. you know, i went in with a plan, i had a commitment from rugby australia and what that looked like. and when the unity of where we're going wasn't the same, you know, it's not because of lack of desire from rugby australia, but it's, there's other forces at play. then the only thing i could do was resign. wales and british and irish lions legend, alun wynjones will play his final international match, when he captains the barbarians. jones is the most—capped player in the history of rugby union, having won 158 for wales and a further 12 for the lions. been chasing an egg for a long time. to have the last one in the stadium is going to be special with a great group in a different team, but a team that belongs to everyone we all know. so it's going to be a fun day.

the kidney. one chopped onion. ten grams of chopped parsley. two bay leaves. and two sprigs of thyme. decent portion, i think. so nowjust to taste. talk about greater than the sum of its parts. it's quite spicy. it's called sha kshuka. i'm frying up a red pepper, chopped onion, cumin, sweet paprika and chilli flakes with two tins of chopped tomatoes, then season to taste. the whole point is, it's a very quick, very simple dish. make room in the sauce for some eggs. into the oven we go. 10 minutes later, it's ready to eat. and there we have it, shakshuka. isn't it funny how that dish, and we were talking about boiled egg curry, the simplest dishes become these kind of posh breakfast but for loads of cultures it's just the simplest food that we have adopted. it’s food that we have adopted. it's funn food that we have adopted. it�*s funny because we have a dish called roast egg curry, and it sounds so posh, it's not actually roast, there just put the curry but i picked it up just put the

food that people need in hospitals and then two days later i had some roast lamb, i almost said roast spam, and it tasted like it, and some very gummy mint sauce and itjust got me thinking about simple dishes, so the book is really about all on one page, there are no recipes that go over two pages because that immediately starts complications and none of the recipes have a sub recipe from other parts of the book. they are all realistically doable in half an hour or they are all realistically doable in halfan hour oran they are all realistically doable in half an hour or an hour. i'm

butter beans, they'll come in tins, not soaked. do ou they'll come in tins, not soaked. do you think there was once a snobbery about how good a cook you were... i am that soldier. and it's easy to say

mastering the art of french cooking and trying to make french cooking and trying to make french baguettes over five closely worded pages and adding the right flower or oven and not the moles to make

victoria hollins. rail providers are warning of potentially serious disruption from storm ciaran. southern, thameslink and southeastern are all advising passengers not to travel on routes south of london as there is a strong risk of fallen trees. more than 30 departures have been cancelled at heathrow. residents in an area of south east london say the irregular postal service is leading to missed hospital appointments and increased fines and tax bills. those living in east dulwich say the area has experienced issues with deliveries since the closure of a sorting office in 2018. royal mail say they have plans in place to improve the service. the mayor has called on the government to review new rules that will require people to provide a form of id when voting in elections. accepted forms of id include driving license. passport and an older person's bus pass. the mayor suggested 900,000 londoners may struggle to provide the right form of identification. a government spokesperson disputed this figure and said that 99.75% of voters cast their vote successfully at the local elections in may. let's take a look at the tubes now. a look at the weather. today will continue wet and very windy with showers and longer periods of rain. the rain may become quite persistent for a time in the afternoon. we could see some gales. tonight will see rain, possibly heavy and persistent early on. that's it. more on our website about the bounce back of the city of london. i'm back in half an hour. see you then. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. a major incident has been declared along parts of the south coast of england and the channel islands, as storm ciaran brings heavy rain, and wind speeds of more than a hundred miles an hour. i'm injersey, where the storm damage is widespread and winds have reached over 100mph. it is not just it is notjust the channel islands affected by storm ciaran. southern parts of england also experiencing some strong and damaging winds. there is also a lot of rain around. a double whammy of treacherous conditions. the first british nationals have left gaza since the israel—hamas war began — it's expected more people will be allowed through the rafah crossing later today a father who lost his partner and two children as the result of an e—bike fire calls for better regulation of the batteries used. no one had ever told me that these things could overheat and explode. no one ever told me about the lithium batteries give off an absolute toxic gas if they go up. and when they do go up, they're like a bomb. has the cost of borrowing peaked? we'll have a better idea today when the bank of england reveals its latest decision on interest rates. but whatever the outcome, first time buyers are still feeling the pressure. manchester united are in a "bad place", according to their manager — they're out of the league cup, after being soundly beaten by newcastle. it's their worst start to a season for more than 60 years. good morning. it's thursday, the 2nd of november. a major incident has been declared across parts of the south coast of england and the channel islands, as storm ciaran brings heavy rain and strong winds of more than 100 miles per hour to areas already under flood and red danger to life warnings. more than 300 schools have been forced to close, as well as several airports, with widespread travel disruption also expected across road and rail networks. aruna iyengar has the very latest. waves crashing over the sea wall in devon. a car is washed into the sea. this is penzance in cornwall. and there is heavy rainfall and flooding across the country. areas of northern ireland have been flooded. this is the scene in newry. storm ciaran is unleashing its power across the country. hampshire county council has declared a major incident for residents in hampshire and the isle of wight. many schools are putting safety first and will be shut in hampshire, southampton and devon. amber wind warnings, the second highest level of alert, are in place for parts of the south coast. gusts are expected to reach 70 to 80 mph in the south, and 20 to 30 millimetres of rain is expected to fall today. a lot of trees injersey, some of them will obviously fall down. slates and things flying about and causing damage. the storm struck the channel islands last night. jersey and guernsey have seen some of their worst storm conditions in decades. so there has been a lot of structural damage, a lot of roofs, trees are down, obviously. the roads are blocked, so there is a lot of debris on the roads. they were preparing yesterday. flood defences were put in place. schools across the islands are closed. flights are grounded at guernsey and alderney airports. people have been asked not to stockpile goods after supermarket shelves were stripped. national highways has issued a warning to drivers in the south—east, saying there is the risk of cars being blown over. they're also warning about flooded roads. train and ferry companies are warning of severe disruption to services. they're asking customers to check online before they travel. the advice is to stay indoors unless you have to go out. aruna iyengar, bbc news. let's go to saint aubin injersey, where our reporter meghan owen can bring us the latest. throughout the morning your hood has come down, the wind seems to be easing a bit and the rain easing a bit. you have had gusts of 102 mph, i think? ., a, �* ., ~ i think? yeah. morning. i can't make m mind i think? yeah. morning. i can't make my mind up. — i think? yeah. morning. i can't make my mind up, actually. _ i think? yeah. morning. i can't make my mind up, actually. we _ i think? yeah. morning. i can't make my mind up, actually. we have - i think? yeah. morning. i can't make my mind up, actually. we have had i my mind up, actually. we have had 102 mph winds. that was around 5am. it has started to die down slightly. but we are still getting those strong gusts. you can see some of the palm trees swaying in the winter. it is high tide as well. you can see some of the waves crashing against the walls in the background. i think we are past the peak. we are hearing of more and more damage that was caused overnight. we have heard about roofs coming off buildings. the hospital roof was also damaged as well. and many people have had to be evacuated. the last we heard from the states ofjersey police was around a0 people had to leave their homes and go to a&e. it is still a very serious situation. as it starts to get lighter this morning, that damage is becoming more and more apparent. as i said earlier, this is one of the safest places we can be at the moment because going out and about and driving isjust at the moment because going out and about and driving is just not safe. there are trees on the roads. there is debris everywhere. today is very much about the clean—up operation. indeed. you were alluding to the fact lots of buildings had been damaged. a certain number of people have been evacuated from their homes because of damage as well. any ideas as to when, of course there are repairs to do, but when they will be able to go back? we repairs to do, but when they will be able to go back?— able to go back? we don't have any information — able to go back? we don't have any information at _ able to go back? we don't have any information at the _ able to go back? we don't have any information at the moment. - able to go back? we don't have any information

for people to shelter in. so there are safe places for people to be. but i think today the island is on standstill. the schools are shut. the hospital would be closed except for emergency procedures. people are being advised to stay at home. the advice is very much to stay indoors, stay safe, and then i am sure we will get more information about when people will be able to go back to their homes in the coming days. makes absolute sense, stay in, stay home, stay safe. thank you. many people waking up to storm damage this morning, especially those in the south of the uk. south—eastern railway has posted on x to remind people to secure their trampolines. it sounds quite silly but wind gusts pick this up. this is on the tracks near hastings that has had to be moved. lots of damage done to roofs in jersey. moved. lots of damage done to roofs injersey. this is andy brown's picture of a street on social media. you can see damage, lots of houses along the south—east. sally lenton e—mailed in this photo of springfield road in hellier. that is injersey. you can see the damage to the tree. clean—up already begun by workers, road workers as well. maintaining, obviously, try to get the roads going as quickly as possible. the advice at this moment in time is not to go out if you don't have to go out. if you are in one of these affected areas. look at what is happening in sidmouth. the storm breaking into the coast. pretty high waves. we have seen the pictures calm down across the country. but obviously the peak is hitting at various times. this is sidmouth, obviously. we can show you the view from brighton. a rather beautiful view. the observation tower on the seafront. you are seeing it from up above. you can see the sea is pretty rough and it is still raining. we will keep you updated. carol will bring us up to date in a few minutes. nine minutes past eight. developments at the rafah crossing in the middle east, which many people were hoping would open at some point to allow people to leave gaza into egypt. yes, thank you. just waiting to see if it will reopen today. that is expected. more than a00 people who were trapped in gaza, including some british and foreign nationals, have now crossed into egypt. individuals left via the rafah crossing on the southern border, with many of the injured transferred to field hospitals nearby. the foreign office has confirmed more british nationals will be able to leave the territory over the coming days. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell has the latest from jerusalem. gazans call at the gateway to the world. finally yesterday, the rafah crossing opened. for the first time in more than three weeks, some foreign citizens were allowed to leave the war zone for egypt, including some britons, though details were not given. many others are still waiting. this is the third time we came to the border and nothing happened. your name is not there. so i have to go back to the school, to the shelter, waiting. at the other end of the gaza strip more israeli strikes. hamas says nearly 200 people were killed here in two days. and across the region the humanitarian crisis deepens. the head of the biggest un agency in gaza entered to see for himself. i was shocked by the fact that everyone there was asking for food, was asking for water. we saw almost every child trying to express that they need to eat, they need to have water. but the war continues relentlessly 2a/7. it is almost four weeks since hamas gunmen stormed the border and killed ia00 israelies. hamas is designated as a terrorist organisation by the uk government. here, the israeli army shows what it says are the weapons used against its citizens on the attacks on the 7th of october. pull out the safety, throw these into a room, close the door shut, and it takes the temperature inside a room to 3000 degrees during that closure. it incinerate everything inside a room. nothing comes out. sirens warning of incoming rockets interrupted the event near tel aviv. when hamas launched its attack a retired israeli general drove down from tel aviv to rescue his son's family. using a rifle from a dead israeli soldier, he fought his way towards their home. this is the biggest failure in the history of the state of israel. it was a military failure. it was an intelligence failure. and it was a failure of the government. with both sides now preparing for a long, difficult war in gaza, those making it out of rafah are the lucky few. most are left to face the fighting, feeling nowhere is safe. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. our correspondent rushdi abualouf joins us from gaza. morning to you. i am not sure what you can tell us in terms of what is happening at the rafah crossing this morning. what information do you have? ., ., ., morning. what information do you have? ., ., , have? yeah, good morning. yesterday it was from the — have? yeah, good morning. yesterday it was from the egyptian _ have? yeah, good morning. yesterday it was from the egyptian point - have? yeah, good morning. yesterday it was from the egyptian point of - it was from the egyptian point of view a successful day allowing about a00 foreign nationals and about 77 patients through. today another day of opening the crossing. another a00 people would be allowed to die. most of them are gathered outside of the palestinian gate, waiting for the egyptians to openly crossing today and allow those forhundred. most of them are american citizens, who have dual nationality. we have seen from this hospital and the hospital in khan younis that about 30 ambulances are prepared outside and they are ready to move more patients, more people seriously wounded, from here to the egyptian side. the process of evacuating about 7000 palestinians with dual nationality, this seems to be going well from the point of view of the local authority here and the egyptians, opening the crossing and coordinating for the second day. it will take at least ten days to evacuate all of those. the health ministry here saying there is about 30,000 people who need medical help. they say the hospitals are overwhelmed by the number of casualties arriving every day and by the people who are suffering from very serious wounds. they want aegypti take them and to treat them. if you could, tell us a little bit about where you are correct or they want aegypti. .. about where you are correct or they want aegypti... we understand from the israeli military there is ongoing action, of course? yeah, i am in khan — ongoing action, of course? yeah, i am in khan younis, _ ongoing action, of course? yeah, i am in khan younis, the _ ongoing action, of course? yeah, i am in khan younis, the city - ongoing action, of course? yeah, i am in khan younis, the city as - ongoing action, of course? yeah, i am in khan younis, the city as the | am in khan younis, the city as the last people to flee. there are hundreds of families here. most of them are displaced from the area. hamas say they are engaging in face—to—face fighting with israeli soldiers on the ground. they say they use anti—tank missiles and grenades. the israelis are also engaging in fighting from sea, [and and air. i was able to talk to a few people in gaza city. they said last night was really heavy fighting around a hospital. they were air strikes around the al-quds hospital. there was north east and north west of northern gaza where the real fighting is going on from house to house and street to street. most of these areas are evacuated. but there is still in the middle, in the refugee camp, a large number of people estimated at 200,000, 300,000. they are still in this operation area. most of them live in tents. but many of them are still in their houses. if you remember yesterday and the day before there were two deadly air strikes injabal you're killing, according the health ministry, around a thousand people, killed, injured or missing. thank killed, in'ured or missing. thank ou ve killed, injured or missing. thank you very much- _ let's go to southern israel and speak to anat foster. i am not sure if you can hear that. a very clear description of the impact of the israeli military action within gaza. tell us what the officials have said about the scale of what is happening at the moment?— at the moment? yeah, it is really intensified. _ at the moment? yeah, it is really intensified, the _ at the moment? yeah, it is really intensified, the fighting _ at the moment? yeah, it is really intensified, the fighting in - at the moment? yeah, it is really intensified, the fighting in the - intensified, the fighting in the past week. what rushdie was describing about the north and north—east of the gaza strip, that is what you can see behind me. that is what you can see behind me. that is where the fighting is at its most intense. we are only a couple of kilometres away. that is what you can hear the regular thumps of artillery fire. the israeli military say they are focusing on the centre of hamas here. they say some of its most senior commanders are in this part of the gaza strip around gaza city. things like their command and control infrastructure. a lot of girls —— a lot of those underground tunnels that it uses to move around, that its members used to try to evade detection. and also things like launch pads that are used to fire salvos of rockets from gaza into southern israel. the israeli military, the israel defence force, say, as was described there, there is close quarters fighting now. they are releasing these pictures of tanks on the ground. there are infantry troops on the ground. they say they are progressing, they are getting closer to gaza city. but there are still civilians in that area as well. some who haven't moved. this fighting continues to intensify around them. thank you very much. 18 minutes past eight is the time. carol is all over storm ciara on this morning. —— storm ciaran. i was talking to megan injersey earlier and i think the latest number 102 mph, but they are constantly being updated, aren't they? that's right, they are. they are variable gusts of wind. thejersey fire service tweeted earlier the top cost was 10a mph. —— gust. it is pretty strong and damaging. the met office still has a couple of amber weather warnings. this one in the south—west of england, the isles of scilly, that is valid until 11 o'clock. as the storm moves northwards and eastwards, this one runs out at five o'clock. 70 to 80 mph gusts of wind. damaging gusts, dangerous winds and likely disruption to power as well as travel. we have been focusing a lot on the channel islands because here the weather has been particularly treacherous this morning. these are the forecasted gusts. some of them have been higher. some have been lower. damaging. you have seen the pictures, you know the story. through the morning we continue with the rain. a lot of rain at the channel islands. we have had a lot of rain coming in across western areas, sundry downpours in the far south—east. a lot of surface water and spray on the roads. that continues into parts of northern england and scotland. for northern ireland and western scotland it is a quieter picture. the rain we get into western scotland later on. it mightjust clip the east of northern ireland. at the end of the day the window strengthening eastern scotland and north—east england, where the rain will continue tonight and into tomorrow as well. that is falling on an already saturated ground. thank you. 20 minutes past eight. it's been five months since a devastating fire, thought to be caused by a faulty e—bike battery, tore through the home of scott peden, claiming the lives of his partner, their two young children, and the families dogs. scott was placed into a coma for several weeks following the blaze. now homeless, and living with his mum, he's been telling tim muffett why he's joining calls for tougher regulations on batteries. iscreamed, "gemma — the kids, pass me the kids." i heard a voice from her saying, "i can't get out." the fire department came. they asked me who was in the house and ijust screamed, "everyone!" injune, scott bought a replacement battery online for his e—bike. the original one had been stolen. cambridgeshire fire and rescue service believes that replacement battery caused a devastating blaze in his home the following week. it was a day before work. i had put the bike on charge, as i do every single night. we were all woken by an almighty bang. my bike was spitting out flames from the ground floor all the way up to the second floor. it was a scene out of a nightmare. i proceeded to jump out the window to try and fight the fire, while my missus was sorting the kids and the two dogs out. apparently, my clothes were on fire. i didn't actually realise this at the time. badly burned with a broken ankle, scott was taken to hospital and placed in an induced coma for four weeks. my mum and my dad broke the news to me. and yeah, i lost my girlfriend, my son, my daughter, and our two dogs. she was the most amazing person in the world. she was nice to everyone. i miss her so much. lily, she would have been nine injanuary. her and her brother oliver had the most amazing relationship. they played constantly. i'm dreading this new life that i've been forced to start. i want my old life back. lithium ion batteries contain a large amount of energy in a small space. but this is thermal runaway, demonstrated in a lab. if a cell in a faulty battery heats up uncontrollably, a devastating chain reaction can follow. this incident happened in illingworth in west yorkshire in february, when an electric motorbike was left on charge overnight. no one had ever told me that these things can overheat and explode. no one ever told me about the lithium batteries give off an absolute toxic gas if they go up. and when they do go up, they're like a bomb. this is cctv footage of another incident in london this year. because we've pretty much got the responses for that ready... chelsea and westminster hospital burns unit. the team here say they're treating more and more people injured by fires caused by faulty lithium ion batteries. as they go up, they have a huge amount of heat to them. patients are a lot of the time needing grafting, surgery and maybe even intensive care support. it's incredibly life changing for these patients, not only with the nature of the injury, but also the long term. so they may have lost their homes. and so, actually discharging these patients, sometimes they don't have anywhere to go to. i think it reflects a change - in the devices that we're using. so we started with the vaping, l and some of those catching fire, smaller fires, smaller batteries. we've then moved on. - now we've got bigger batteries. and i suppose we are just packing much more power into— something smaller, - that can cause a bigger fire. the rise in the number of fires started by faulty lithium ion batteries is causing widespread concern. in london, it is the fastest growing fire trend, according to the london fire brigade, with a blaze on average every two days. always store or charge your e—bikes or e—scooters, if possible, outside or in an outside building. if that's not possible, store it somewhere in your home where you can shut the door on it, make sure that you've got a working smoke detector, and it definitely does not block your escape route. there are also growing calls for legally enforced third party safety certification of batteries and chargers, as well as the regulation of online sales. i came out of that house with nothing. not even the clothes on my back, because they were ripped off me in the garden. there needs to be a law about buying second—hand batteries. they need to be checked and mot—ed. do not put them on charge near your exit, because you don't want to be the next person that has to go through what i've just gone through. many thanks to scott for talking about his devastating experience. he is highlighting an issue that so many people are going to want to hear about. we'rejoined now by giuseppe capanna, a product safety engineer at electrical safety first, the charity attempting to put forward a bill on the dangers of e—bikes and e—scooters in parliament. before we get to the bill itself, you first hand, and we have seen some of those very frightening images when fire breaks out, electrical sparks, you first hand have done your own tests? yes. are these on

energy in a very smallspace. so, enormous amount of energy in a very small space. so, when they go up it is like having a box of fireworks in your house. theyjust got one, bang, bang. it's quite

finished charging, make sure you unplug the charger. don't leave it on charge when you are asleep at night or when you are out of the building. and make sure you have got smoke alarms on every floor

and southeastern are all advising passengers not to travel on routes south of london as there is a "strong risk of fallen tress". more than 30 departures have been cancelled at heathrow. residents in an area of south east london say the irregular postal service is leading to missed hospital appointments and increased fines and tax bills. those living in east dulwich say the area has experienced issues with deliveries since the closure of a sorting office in 2018. royal mail say they have plans in place to improve the service but resident tina is frustrated with the situation. hospital letters are not getting here. and i've tried explaining to the hospital, but obviously they cover a large area so they don't take into account that se22 has huge problems and we don't always know that we've got an appointment. and i didn't get my bank card that was sent to me in august and i had to get my bank to cancel that and resend it. the introduction of london's first clean air zone 15 years ago has significantly improved air quality, new analysis has shown. academics at the university of bath said it helped reduce particulate matter in greater london by i3% between 2008 and 2013, compared to the previous five years. and it found a i8% reduction in nitrogen dioxide levels in central london following the launch of the ulez scheme in 2019. today is the annual poppy day — where volunteers, celebrities and armed forces personnel hand out poppies and collect donations at train and tube stations across the capital. this was the scene last year — and available for the first time this year is a new poppy which is entirely plastic free. funds raised for the royal british legion will go towards supporting veterans and their families. let's take a look at the tubes now. there are minor delays on the central, elizabeth line, on thejubilee line and on the metropolitan line and picadilly lines. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. storm ciaran brings heavy rain and strong winds throughout today and the met office has several weather warnings in place. yellow weather warnings in place across london, surrey, the home counties, parts of essex for heavy rain and strong winds. but the coast of essex, there is an amber weather warning there. we could be seeing gusts of 70 to 80 miles per hour. elsewhere, widely a0 to 50 miles per hour and more exposed areas could get 60. heavy rain mixed in widely 20 to 30 millimetres. it's falling, of course, on saturated ground, so could lead to localised flooding. gradually it will start to clear at least a little overnight, becoming drier with some clear spells. but it is going to stay blustery overnight. you can see the isobars still quite close together. so as we head into friday, yes, it's going to be drier. we'll see some sunny spells. still can't rule out a shower tomorrow, but the breeze still there, just not quite as strong as it is today. and as we head into the weekend, it is going to stay unsettled. another low pressure system brings heavy rain for saturday. that's it — head to our website to read more about the bounce back of the city of london. i'm back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. let's go back to the major incident declared across parts of the south coast of england and the channel islands as storm ciaran brings heavy rain and wind with dangers to life warnings in place for many. in warnings in place for many. i�*i jersey, a wind speed of 104 mph has jersey, a wind speed of 10a mph has already been recorded this morning and more than 300 schools have been forced to close as well as several airports across the affected areas. so we're getting lots of accounts of how the weather is affecting you. pretty scary this morning. we've received footage of a window blowing out in the middle of the night in saint clements injersey, and it actually was caught on a baby monitor. the storm is raging outside, and the window itself gets blown in. ~ ., ., blown in. wow. the view from saint aubin is bay — blown in. wow. the view from saint aubin is bay in _ blown in. wow. the view from saint aubin is bay in

and strong waves coming through and people advised to stay away from the seafront, obviously. and to stay in their homes as much as they can. we can give you the view from the marine theatre webcam in lyme regis as well. pretty obvious what is happening there. some pretty wild seas. there has been an update for the south—east. carol has just send this through. that the amber warning to the south—east has been updated and is now covering a much smaller area, just east sussex at kent and ending at midday rather than all across but do remember there is still the red danger to life and flood warning in other parts of the country and in other parts of the country, so obviously carroll and all of our weather forecasters will keep an eye on that and we will get an update from carol kirkwood about what to expect. the bank of england is expected to keep interest rates on hold for the second consecutive time later. ben's here to tell us more. it's all connected to price rises, and imagine it's like a car hurtling along at speed putting the interest rates up and now is putting the brake on. it doesn't put them into reverse but it should slow them down. let me explain. the bank of england had raised interest rates ia times in a row, making it steadily more expensive to borrow money. but in september, we got a bit of a surprise when it froze interest rates for the first time in almost two years. the base rate stayed at 5.25 percent — and we're expecting rates to be frozen again today. this might be a small relief if you own a home or you're looking to buy. it's worth saying though that the current rate is still the highest it's been in 15 years. now, the reason for freezing interest rates ties into inflation — the rate at which prices are rising. after falling for three months in a row, inflation stayed at 6.7 percent in september. let's look at the relationship between the two. this first line is inflation, and you can see how it climbed quickly, peaking at more than 11% at the end of last year. but it's started to fall. the second line is the interest rate — and we can see it was pretty much at zero a couple of years ago, but have been rising steadily. the theory is that by raising rates, it becomes more expensive to borrow money, people have less to spend, and demand falls — so businesses put their prices up more slowly. but in the short term higher interest rates hit borrowers. millions of homeowners with a fixed rate mortgage deal that has recently come to an end — or ending soon — are now seeing significantly higher monthly repayments, squeezing those household budgets even further. and it's more expensive for people to even get on the housing ladder, as the bbc's cost of living correspondent colletta smith has been finding out. this is my monthly dining out. i owe myself money, so i put that in as a reminder. ebony�*s doing all the right things. and then this one's like a total saving. going towards my house buying savings. she and her partner are saving carefully, putting cash into physical wallets and cutting back where she can. any pennies? i've got a penny saving challenge. so you should have £5 left at the end of the month, all to have enough to buy a house. i want to get married, we got engaged this year, but then i just think that's going to wait because that's quite a big expense as it is for one day and the house is more important. with interest rates changing so often, does it feel like the goalposts just keep shifting for you? it feels like the mountain's get bigger constantly, like i'm putting in, and then you have to take out because there's more expenses coming in, so you can't put as much in, but itjust feels a bit futile at the moment because your goal�*s getting further away. it's all eyes on today's interest rates for anyone on a tracker mortgage or the 1.5 million households due to remortgage in the next six months. but for those trying to rent while saving up for a home, they're facing even more hurdles. i think first time buyers are hearing the brunt of higher rates. that's as much as anything, it's very, very bad luck in terms of timing. but they all are also carrying the can for not building enough houses, and that's manifesting in higher house prices and that's a really toxic combination. high house prices and high rates. like all lenders, leeds building society have already seen a big drop in loans to first time buyers compared to last year. the average deposit at the moment is £69,000 for a first time buyer, and that is tremendously challenging. prices are around 5%, but they would have to fall by 60—70% to be as affordable as it was back in the eighties. you know, it'd be nice to have three bedrooms and space to grow. also, managing my expectations currently about a first time home and what you can have. whatever is announced today by the bank of england, ebony knows her dream of a place of her own is now further away than she'd hoped. it does seem like a few more years, like 12 months has turned into 18 months turned to 24 months. coletta smith, bbc news in manchester. it's worth saying, naga and charlie, there may be more minor relief for homeowners and those looking to buy today — as the bank of england is expected to freeze rates once again. but we'll find out for sure at midday. thank you very much for that. mikejoins us on the mike
