how tom hanks is hoping to take people on a virtualjourney to the moon with his latest project. good morning from a chilly blackpool. we have got blackpool power laid up behind us. on this weekend to strictly. he forecast todayis weekend to strictly. he forecast today is wet and windy in the south. that will clear east. most of us will have a dry day until more rain sweeps in from the west later. details throughout the programme. good morning. it's thursday, the 16th of november. the immigration minister, robertjenrick, says the government is in the final stages of negotiating a new treaty with rwanda, as it tries to revive its plan for the country to take asylum seekers sent from the uk. rishi sunak has also pledged to introduce emergency legislation into parliament, after the supreme court unanimously ruled yesterday that downing street's existing proposals were unlawful. graham satchell has this report.
6:02 am
how do you stop the boats? the government's plan was to send asylum seekers to a third country, rwanda, where their applications would be processed. that plan has been left in tatters after the supreme court ruled it was unlawful. hands off refugees now! the courtjudgment said rwanda was not a safe country for refugees, particularly because there was a risk they could be forced back to their country of origin, where their life could be in danger. the ruling is a significant blow for the prime minister, rishi sunak, who's made tackling illegal migration a key pledge. we are a reasonable government and this is a reasonable country. but the british people's patience can only be stretched so thin, and they expect the boats to be stopped. the government has now announced a series of measures to resurrect its immigration plans, a new treaty with rwanda, which would prevent the removal of asylum seekers back to their home country, and emergency
6:03 am
legislation to mark rwanda as a safe country. we have won on the most important question of all, which is the principle, which is that a country such as the united kingdom can work with another partner, such as rwanda. critics, including the labour party, say the government is now in disarray, and that sending asylum seekers to rwanda will never work and is not a deterrent. the only thing that is a deterrent is people knowing they're coming into a well organised, a functional asylum seeking process, and if they don't qualify, they are returned swiftly. the plan to send asylum seekers to rwanda was announced in 2022. it has already cost at least £140 million and no one has yet been sent to the country. but the government says it intends to see flights starting in the spring. graham satchel, bbc news.
6:04 am
we will get more on that with the newly appointed home secretary, james cleverly, at half past seven. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, has said he regrets the loss of ten of his shadow ministers, who have been sacked or resigned over the party's stance on the conflict with gaza. a total of 56 labour mps backed an snp amendment calling for a ceasefire. our political correspondent hannah miller reports. ceasefire now! the calls are getting louder, both outside parliament and in. every minute, every hour, every day we wait is another orphan, another grieving mother, and another family wiped out. we need a full and immediate ceasefire now. my constituents have demanded this and i will not refuse them. there is nothing humanitarian about letting children - eat a little today, only.
6:05 am
to bomb them tomorrow. the only humanitarian way forward is an immediate ceasefire. - keir starmer lost ten of his front bench team, including eight shadow ministers, and saw 56 of his mps rebel, all voting in favour of the snp's amendment for a ceasefire. among them is prominent, now former, frontbencherjess phillips. in a resignation letter she called it a tough week in politics, and wrote... "i can see no route where the current military action does anything but put at risk any hope of peace and security for anyone in the region." keir starmer had hoped that his motion calling for a longer humanitarian pause could keep his mps onside. in a letter he said he agrees that "much more needs to be done to ease the humanitarian crisis in gaza. "i regret that some colleagues felt unable to support our position tonight. "but i want to be where about where i stood,
6:06 am
and where i will stand," he said. "leadership is about doing the right thing." keir starmer will hope this is the last of the challenges he faces on this issue. but as long as mps are hearing voices like this, the division in labour will remain. hannah miller, bbc news. let's get the latest now form our chief political correspondent, henry zeffman. what effect will this have on keir starmer, do you think?— what effect will this have on keir starmer, do you think? well, look, it's a big rebellion. _ starmer, do you think? well, look, it's a big rebellion. it's— starmer, do you think? well, look, it's a big rebellion. it's the - it's a big rebellion. it's the biggest rebellion in fact of keir starmer�*s leadership, which is a bit unusual because at the start of his leadership, he has been leader almost four years, he didn't have that much authority. now he is generally considered to be in complete control of the labour party. this was a reminder that there are some fundamental differences within the labour party on foreign policy, and even among some of those who keir starmer was
6:07 am
telling the public he wanted to be government ministers should he win the next general election. now i think that split is not really going away. there might not be parliamentary avenues for the split to be advertised. but it is still there. some of those who have gone to the backbenches, having been sacked or resigned, so they will keep campaigning on a ceasefire. so i do think keir starmer will have to keep making that argument. but look, i think it is more broadly a split among the labour electorate, labour voters. one senior shadow minister yesterday said they had a lot of e—mails from their constituents complaining about the labour position on a ceasefire. they said they take it very seriously but they are wrong. they take it very seriously but they are wronu. �* , they take it very seriously but they are wronu. �*, ., they take it very seriously but they are wron. �*, ., . ~ they take it very seriously but they are wronu. �*, ., . ~ ., ., they take it very seriously but they are wron.. �*, ., ., ., ., are wrong. let's go back to our lead sto , the are wrong. let's go back to our lead story. the prime _ are wrong. let's go back to our lead story, the prime minister— are wrong. let's go back to our lead story, the prime minister and - story, the prime minister and rwanda. he says the plan, whether you call it a or b, is still on, but it is very complicated? it
6:08 am
definitely is plan b at this point. or plan b for making ronde work. it is very complicated. there are a few different things rishi sunak is doing to salvage the policy. one is emergency legislation to declare a one safe country. that is designed to deal with some of the supreme court objections about rwanda's treaty obligations and whether it can be trusted to stick to them. also, i think more to stop individual challenges to deportation flights should they ever get going again. there is also the treaty that he says he wants to sign with rwanda. that is designed to show that rwanda can stick to its obligations. and to put that on a surer legal footing. then there obligations. and to put that on a surer legalfooting. then there is the threat of holding open the possibility of leaving the european convention on human rights. that is, i guess, the nuclear option. all designed to deal with different reasons why this policy is in trouble. but it all sounds like it
6:09 am
is going to take an awful lot of time and that does raise questions over whether these flights can take off before the next general election. thank you. israel has promised to provide proof to back up its claim that hamas was using gaza's largest hospital as a command centre. hamas — designated as a terrorist operation by the uk government — has repeatedly denied the allegations about the al—shifa hospital. let's get the latest now from our middle east correspondent yolande knell. we all know that in a war zone categorical proof is very hard to come by. just take us through what we might be presented with? 50. come by. just take us through what we might be presented with? so, so far we have — we might be presented with? so, so far we have actually _ we might be presented with? so, so far we have actually had _ we might be presented with? so, so far we have actually had a _ we might be presented with? so, so far we have actually had a video - far we have actually had a video that has been put out by the israeli military. and to be clear it has indicated listed still continuing its operations at al—shifa hospital. although we were told by local journalist trapped there that the forces had withdrawn after 14 hours,
6:10 am
this long raid we saw yesterday. a commanding officerfor the israelis commanding officer for the israelis said commanding officerfor the israelis said they were continuing to move forward. the video shows assault rifles, protective gear, grenades. the israeli military said it found them inside a radiology building at them inside a radiology building at the hospital. it is not a huge amount. it said to the bbc that it also had recovered laptops, technology that indicated that hamas had been using part of the building as a kind of operational centre. but what we don't see yet is any evidence of underground tunnels, although we know there have been big searches in the basement. we doubt to see yet any evidence that this is a sophisticated command centre. and of course the israeli military had built it up to be a big focus of their operations, saying they believed it was used with a sophisticated, extensive underground tunnel network by hamas as a major
6:11 am
command and control centre. now we may get more information in the coming hours and days. we heard from a doctor at the hospital and also from hamas health officials that there had been bulldozers that had been destroying part of the southern gate of the hospital overnight. but he has, at the moment is forces are still working on this. but we haven't got any more information than you can see in that video. thank you for the moment. millions of women will be able to get free contraceptive pills without having to visit their gp from next month. the new nhs plans will allow women in england to get their first prescription of the pill by visiting their local pharmacy. it's hoped the move will give women greater choice over where to get the medication, and free up appointments at gp surgeries. parcel firms have delivered a miserable service to consumers for the third year running, according to an annual survey by citizens advice. more than 13 million people reported experiencing a delivery problem in one month alone. packages arriving late or being left in insecure locations were some
6:12 am
of the most common complaints. president biden says the us and china have agreed to resume military to military communications, in an effort to ease rising tensions. speaking after a meeting with his chinese counterparty in san francisco, the us president described his talks with xi jinping as the most constructive and productive they've had. our washington correspondent gary o'donoghue reports. it's the first time in a year these two men have even spoken, let alone meet face—to—face. they spent around four hours together, discussing everything from taiwan and technology, to ukraine and the war in the middle east. both sides agreed to resume high—level communications between the two militaries. and china agreed to crack down on chemicals used to make the opioid fentanyl, the biggest killer of young americans. at the press conference afterwardsjoe biden was asked if he trusted president xi.
6:13 am
do i trust? i trust and verify, as the old saying goes. that's where i am. at times he read from prepared briefing cards. but off—script he was more forthright about president xi. would you still refer to president xi as _ would you still refer to president xi as a _ would you still refer to president xi as a dictator? well look, he is. he's a dictator in the sense that he... some advisers won't have liked that one bit. after the meeting chinese state media said president xi had told his counterpart planet earth was big enough for both countries to succeed, and that conflict and confrontation would be unbearable for both sides. the meeting is in itself a sign of improving relations, but what really counts is what comes next. events can easily derail progress. gary o'donoghue, bbc news, san francisco. only one public body in every 20 pays enough to cover the minimum costs of employing someone to provide care to those who need it, according to research.
6:14 am
the homecare association, which represents providers, says low fees paid by councils and the nhs increases the risk of people receiving poor care. the government says it has put billions of pounds of extra funding into social care and is improving the system. the energy regulator, ofgem, is launching a public consultation on standing charges. the fees are added to most gas and electricity bills at a daily rate, and can't be reduced no matter how much you cut back on your usage. ben is here with us this morning to tell us more. it is one of those stories people -et it is one of those stories people get very— it is one of those stories people get very annoyed about, don't understand it, feel it is unfair? indeed — understand it, feel it is unfair? indeed. there has been a lot of anger over the issue of standing charges, the daily rates that cover the cost of having your home connected to the gas and electricity supply. those charges vary depending on where you live. in most places the charge has doubled in the past two years. a typical household
6:15 am
paying 53p a day for electricity, and 30p a day for gas, adding an extra £300 to the total bill every year. the main frustration around it is that no matter how much you cut back on your usage, there is no way to reduce that price for the standing charge. ofgem has been looking into it. today is the first time they have opened up the possibility of wholesale change, or perhaps even scrapping the charge completely. one of the things that we need to reflect_ one of the things that we need to reflect on— one of the things that we need to reflect on is the fact that these costs _ reflect on is the fact that these costs have to fall somewhere in the system, _ costs have to fall somewhere in the system, so — costs have to fall somewhere in the system, so if they were not on the standing _ system, so if they were not on the standing charges they would be on the volume rate people pay. when you are in_ the volume rate people pay. when you are in a _ the volume rate people pay. when you are in a period, as we have been in the last— are in a period, as we have been in the last couple of years, when those rates _ the last couple of years, when those rates have _ the last couple of years, when those rates have been so high as a result of what _ rates have been so high as a result of what has — rates have been so high as a result of what has been happening in the geopolitical world, we risk putting significant costs on vulnerable consumers. we have to think carefully— consumers. we have to think carefully about how we share these costs _ carefully about how we share these costs between different customers.
6:16 am
we can't _ costs between different customers. we can't make these costs go away. we can't make these costs go away. we don't have any detail on a timeline but ofgem says it is really keen to hear from timeline but ofgem says it is really keen to hearfrom customers. that includes you. it is notjust ofgem that wants to hear from you. we would love to hear from you. get in touch. that is not what you think of standing charges. your thoughts on that. and also, whether you are worried about whether your energy bills are going to be this winter. we would love to hear from you. we'll try to go through some of those comments this morning. you will aet those comments this morning. you will get through some of them because everyone response to this. every time we talk about this so many people feel so strongly about it. it affects people, businesses, households, and so is one that really i am keen to get people because my thoughts on today. thank ou. -- because my thoughts on today. thank yom -- peeple's_ because my thoughts on today. thank you. -- people's thoughts _ because my thoughts on today. thank you. -- people's thoughts on - because my thoughts on today. thank you. —— people's thoughts on today. it's the moment fans of the crown have been waiting for — the royal drama returns with its sixth and final series today.

6:18 am
in out narrower, the coldest night of the autumn so far. it has been pretty white and we have some fun. the forecast for today is in the north the fog will be slow to clear but when it does we will see some sunny spots. in the south wet and windy conditions. eventually it will clear away from the south—east. in between there will be a lot of dry weather and some sunshine. if you are under clear skies this morning it is cold, there is some frost around. fog in northern ireland and the highlands, which will be slow to clear. the rain continues to move across southern areas. we have already had 30 millimetres of rainfall since yesterday in the isles of scilly. gusty winds, coastal gales. temperatures today chillier than yesterday. we are looking at low single figures to high single figures as we move from north to south. into this evening the rain in the west will push further eastwards and turned —— and
6:19 am
attentive fiddle as it turns to the north sea. once again it is going to be a cold night. temperatures in the midlands and northern ireland could dip to freezing. there will be some fog and frost. as we go through the course of tomorrow we lose the weather front early doors. it takes that showers with it. a lot of dry weather. some showers in the west. as high pressure builds in they will fade. laterfrom the as high pressure builds in they will fade. later from the south—west we have more rain. accompanied by strengthening winds. temperatures six to 12, north to south. need it indoors. sounds like a good plan. she said she was going on anyway because carol is a law unto itself. let's never forget that. carol is a law unto itself. let's neverforget that. coming up to 20 minutes past six. let's look at the papers.
6:20 am
the telegraph, like many of this morning's papers, leads with the prime minister's vow to introduce emergency legislation to mark rwanda a safe country, following the supreme court's judgment that the government's flagship asylum policy is unlawful. the sun carries comments from the prime minister yesterday in which he said the british people's patience could "only be stretched so thin" over the issue of illegal immigration. elsewhere, the guardian reports on a major rebellion for labour leader sir keir starmer after 56 of his mps voted for an immediate ceasefire in gaza. jess phillips was among ten front benchers who quit their roles to back the motion from the snp yesterday. on its front page the times covers a development which will see millions of women able to receive the contraceptive pill free of charge from pharmacies without seeing a gp. a move the paper says will help free up doctors appointments. bbc analysis has found that two—thirds of nhs maternity units in england don't consistently meet safety standards. that's worse than a year ago, when the figure was just over half.
6:21 am
the health regulator, the care quality commission, says maternity has the worst safety ratings of all hospital services it inspects. our health correspondent, catherine burns, has been to one hospital that's trying to improve its safety rating. i think something's going wrong. that's why i'm getting out. there's something wrong with the baby, i think. we were filming on a corridor in the labour ward at northwick park hospital in north—west london, when it became clear there was a serious problem. a young woman was in the end stages of labour, and they couldn't hear the baby's heart beat properly. every member of staff had one focus — delivering the baby safely. as the minutes passed by it was incredibly tense. but then the sound everyone wanted to hear. baby cries. absolutely beautiful. yeah. and she's come out in really good condition. then mum was taken away to theatre for some stitches. it's a rare gift, seeing a new life
6:22 am
less than ten minutes after coming into the world. seeing the joy as a family meets its youngest member. she's adorable. and seeing the instant love as new father himanshu locks eyes with his daughter kiana for the very first time. awesome. this might not look like a maternity unit with problems, but it is. two years ago, inspectors from the care quality commission, the cqc, rated it as inadequate for safety, the worst possible rating. a follow—up saw progress, but still said it required improvement, and it's far from alone. last autumn, we analyzed cdc data and found that 55% of maternity units in england weren't always meeting safety standards. the cqc has prioritized maternity inspections and now has a fuller picture.
6:23 am
it's worse. almost 70% either require improvement or are inadequate for safety. and 15% are in that bottom category, inadequate. that's more than doubled since last autumn. kate toroney from the cdc told me maternity currently has the poorest safety rating of all the hospital services it inspects. it's disappointing, it's unacceptable. i think the point is, we've seen this deterioration and action needs to happen now, so that women next week can have the assurance that they need that they're going to get that high quality care in any maternity setting across england. my daughter's life was effectively ended before it got started. rachel tostain didn't get that quality of care when her daughter eve was born in a hospital hundreds of miles away. she was injured at birth, a forceps delivery that went badly wrong.
6:24 am
that force actually fractured part of her skull, which also severed an artery and caused a massive bleed in her brain. eve lived with huge challenges until last year. she was just five. i think sometimes itjust catches you unexpectedly. we as parents have so much guilt that we that we couldn't stop what happened to her in the first place. the life she had was not the life she should have had. ministers here at the department of health know, and they have known for some time, about problems with maternity safety. they also know they're not looking likely to meet targets to halve the numbers of mothers and babies dying by 2025. then there's the fact that families affected by certain high profile maternity scandals at some hospitals are now calling for a full public inquiry across england. we wanted to speak to ministers here about all of this, and several times we asked for an interview. that request was eventually refused.
6:25 am
instead, they gave us this statement, wanting to reassure mothers and families that maternity care is of the utmost importance to this government. they said... "we're working incredibly hard to improve maternity services, focusing on recruitment, training and the retention of midwives. but we know there is more to do." in northern ireland, a review has called for a new safety strategy. wales has delayed the second phase of a maternity review. and the scottish government says it is committed to delivering high quality care. i think once you know how to use it, it's actually really easy, isn't it? here at northwick park, they say maternity is already improving, with the stillbirth rate lower than the national average. i'm determined that we're going to turn things around, i really am. and actually, from the improvements that we've made in the last year, actually, that shows evidence that we are turning things around. but they are not quick improvements. so i like think in another year we'll be in a very different place in terms of what our cqc
6:26 am
rating will look like. like the vast majority of the 1500 babies born in england every day, baby kiana is fine, home with herfamily, happy and healthy. the hope is that every baby can have such a safe start. catherine burns, bbc news. 26 minutes past six. coming up... he famously starred in apollo 13 — now tom hanks has been telling us how his life—long love of space has led to his new mission creating an out of this world experience right here on earth. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. one in five lgbtq+ people have been harassed or faced abuse and violence while travelling on public transport in london in the past year. that's according to new research
6:27 am
from the passenger watchdog london travelwatch. in response, tfl says it's "committed to ensuring all passengers and staff are protected from harm" across the network. british transport police says preventing and tackling hate crime is a priority. a pupil referral unit in surrey says it's facing a surge in demand after a rise in school exclusions. the inclusive education trust says requests for support from its service has grown since the pandemic. figures for surrey show permanent exclusions rose from 59 in 2018/19 to 107 in 2021/22. of young people who i would say are square pegs in round holes in mainstream schools, and their needs aren't being met and that therefore manifests in terms of challenging behaviour. in response, the government says its investing £2.6 billion to create tens of thousands of new places for children with special educational needs and disabilities. tomorrow night is children
6:28 am
in need and all this week we are looking at the children in london that benefit from your donations. on tonight's programme at 630 we visit the habbit factory in havering. it's an inclusive theatre programme bringing together young people of all backgrounds and abilities. i mean, you know, it's yourfavorite when it's the one that your mum uses to make sure you behave, like, you know, "if your room's not tidy, no habbit factory." it's something so special and there's nothing quite like it. it's having a space where you don't have to be scared of what you do. you just can do what you need to do and everyone supports you, no matter what. let's take a look at the tubes now, the bakerloo line has sever delays and london overground has no service watford junction to euston. now onto the weather with kate. morning. it's a cloudy start this morning and we have some heavy rain added into the mix as well. it's going to feel a bit chillier
6:29 am
than it has for the last couple of days as well. now the rain coming up from the south and the west, heavy and persistent. further north, you are the home counties, largely cloudy, a few showers, potentially. the rain gradually turning patchier today and temperatures reaching somewhere between seven and nine celsius. so in single figures then overnight the rain will continue to clear away eastwards. you can see the clear skies behind and underneath those in the west. temperatures at their coolest three celsius, the minimum. so a chilly start to friday. plenty of sunshine around, though. through tomorrow, the wind will start to strengthen a little, however, but it's dry. and like i say, lots of sunshine. temperatures on friday reaching around ten celsius and i can see the cloud edging in from the west as we head towards the end of tomorrow. it'll turn that sunshine hazy and then bring some heavy rain for saturday. it's also, however, bringing some warmer air. so feeling milder through the weekend. that's all from me for now. i'll be back in around half
6:30 am
an hour's time with our next update. head to our website to find out more about the excavation of the workhouse that is thought to have inspired charles dickens. see you soon. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. as we've been reporting, the government's rwanda plan has been deemed unlawful. stopping migrants from crossing the channel in small boats is one of the prime minister's key priorities, but the plan for sending those arriving in the uk illegally to the east african country has been fraught with legal difficulties. announced back in april 2022, the five—year trial would have seen some asylum seekers sent on a one wayjourney to rwanda. no asylum seekers have actually been sent there though — the first flight was scheduled to leave injune last year, but was cancelled after legal challenges. the uk has already paid the government there 140 million pounds — but we don't know the overall cost of the scheme.
6:31 am
we're nowjoined by the legal commentatorjoshua rozenberg. thanks very much forjoining us today. what do you understand in terms of what the supreme court has ruled and how the government plans to, and i don't know if it's the correct word, circumvent that ruling by changing the law through parliament?— by changing the law through arliament? , ., ,., , parliament? the starting point is the rulin: parliament? the starting point is the ruling yesterday _ parliament? the starting point is the ruling yesterday that - parliament? the starting point is| the ruling yesterday that basically rwanda _ the ruling yesterday that basically rwanda is not a safe country, and it's not _ rwanda is not a safe country, and it's not safe — rwanda is not a safe country, and it's not safe because there is a risk_ it's not safe because there is a risk that— it's not safe because there is a risk that an _ it's not safe because there is a risk that an asylum seeker sent from the uk _ risk that an asylum seeker sent from the uk to— risk that an asylum seeker sent from the uk to rwanda would be sent on to another— the uk to rwanda would be sent on to another country and may end up where they came _ another country and may end up where they came from which is by definition the country they escaped from from — definition the country they escaped from from the country where they feared _ from from the country where they feared persecution, so for that reason — feared persecution, so for that reason the supreme court blocked the move and _ reason the supreme court blocked the move and the uk government is now saying _ move and the uk government is now saying that _ move and the uk government is now saying that there will be two differences. there will be a formal treaty _ differences. there will be a formal treaty with — differences. there will be a formal treaty with uganda, first of all,

6:37 am
as adam cottier reports. emma hayes felt chelsea had been, in her words, robbed of victory after their draw against real madrid, playing their first game since the announcement of their manager's next assignment. chelsea fell behind to a deflected shot from olga carmona, but the champions responded to equalise as niamh charles headed in ashley lawrence's cross, and then sam kerr guided in charles's delivery to put them ahead in a competition hayes wants to win before she leaves for the usa. her pathway towards winning the champions league for the first time with chelsea won't be so clear if the hampered by decisions like the ones that followed in spain. first, a penalty was awarded to real madrid, despitejessie fleming's challenge taking place outside the area and after carmona had made it 2—2, chelsea's charles, in the foreground of the picture here as the ball is played to her,
6:38 am
was incorrectlyjudged offside and her goal in the dying seconds disallowed. hayes and her team left with a sense of injustice. adam cottier, bbc news. the fa cup fairytale is over for non league cray valley paper mills. remember they caused one of the shocks of the first round, when they got a draw at league one charlton, but in the replay, at the badgers sports and social club, it was a step too far. just before half time, the dream was alive again, when the side from the eighth tier of english football equalised from the penalty spot — kyrell lisbie the taker, with his dad kevin lisbie, a former charlton striker, unable to watch. but look at his pride, when he can hear it went in. what a moment, even if, the professionals from charlton ran away with it, after the break, and it finished 6—1. india's virat kohli produced another record—breaking performance to take them into the final of the cricket world cup. they'll face either australia or south africa, who play today. kohli has been the side's talisman throughout the competition — and he hit his 50th one—day international century in their win over new zealand in mumba,
6:39 am
overtaking his idol sanchin tendulkar, who was watching on from the stands. as was one david beckham, in the country for the first time as a unicef ambassador. india won by 70 runs and are chasing their first world cup title since winning on home soil 12 years ago. anthonyjoshua has announced the next step in his attempt to get back into boxing's world title picture. he'll headline a packed bill in saudi arabia in less than six weeks' time. joshua will fight sweden's otto wallin, on the same card as another former world heavyweight champion, deontay wilder, who takes onjoseph parker. joshua lost his crown to oleksandr usyk in august, and wilder was beaten by tyson fury. if they both win, they could face eachother next year. i know what i've got to do. and if it goes by anything off of what i've learned, when i say learned, i'm talking about the l, i took a l,
6:40 am
but i saw it as a learning lesson when i fought uysk. if i walked away from that situation without anything learnt, then of course you'll have a better chance of beating me. but i'm not a silly person and i've really taken my time to assess the situation. i'm going to use everything i went through in those training camps to better myself. so we're looking forward to a good performance december 25th. we showed you a couple of the goals from the fa cup replay at the artic stadium, earlier, the home of cray valley paper mills, and it seems, you got a better look than a charlton fan who was at the game. home matches normally get a crowd of under 200, and everyone can see but for this one there were fivetimes as many packed, andjim posted this on social media "good view of the game", as he watched match of the day live on his phone. there isn't any elevation on some sides of the ground based, at the badger sport and social club. he could have asked for a piggyback. i completely sympathise with struggling to see over tall people.
6:41 am
i think you need to be in the place, it is worth it. that's the thing. mike, thank you very much. children in need supports thousands of children and young people across the uk, and tomorrow night some of them will tell their stories on the charity's annual appeal show. one of them is 11—year—old shay, who has tourette's syndrome. one of tomorrow night's presenters — the comedian chris ramsey — has his story. my name's shay. i'm 11 years old, and i love football. ijust love kicking the ball. and, for me, it feels like a release of stress. shay was around four or five years old when he started having a blinking tic. we just thought it was just weird habits he'd got into. and then they'lljust go away. he went to bed one evening and woke up, and he could not stop shaking his head. tics are really hard to control.
6:42 am
he tics when i don't do my tics, it really... he tics i struggle quite a lot, because it feels like inside i'm hurting. ten months after that was recorded, shay was formally diagnosed with tourette's syndrome. he and his family have had a very, very difficult few years. but today, he's in a much better place after being helped by a special charity supported by your donations. shay walked in a little shellshocked. - he'd had a rough time. he wasn't being accepted. and all of a sudden you could see this, j "oh, my god, i'm notj on my own" moment. and he just blossomed.
6:43 am
tourette's syndrome is more of a neurological disorder, which makes you do something called tics. it's like my brain will tell me to tic, like that. my brain would tell me to do that. but i can't stop it. he was petrified of his own shadow. didn't want to go out, he shut himself awayi because he was afraid of what people were thinking. even with us, he was different. destroyed us, isn't it? i can hold it in for a good amount of time, but then after it'll all come out and that's something called a tic attack. a tic attack — if you imagine like a volcano, right? all the little tics that i'm holding in, like all the lava is holding. it bursts out, and that's when i could have seizures. and all my tics come into one,
6:44 am
and that is that is the most unreal pain. there's nothing worse than watching your child suffer, knowing you can't do anything. just walking out in public is a big thing for me, like... ..beans!... ..it�*s more of a not very nice thing. people staring at you, making fun of you. people can be very horrible sometimes. i thought i was on my own. i never knew no—one that had it. i was literally the most loneliest person ever. but he realized he wasn't alone. because thanks to your donations, tourette's action organise ticfest, a weekend of fun for children affected by tou rette's. wow! it just absolutely amazed me. they helped me so much. there were so many people like me. it wasn't lonely. all of us were together. you know, like when you go in a hot tub, right? and you go, "oh!", it was like that feeling. best thing ever. best thing ever, to be given that
6:45 am
freedom just to be who he is - for the first time in years. the shay we knew, all of a sudden, we started to see more and more of him. given us back our son, basically, which we lost for a long time. don't do it... i've been a person that i weren't for such a long time. and when i went there, i was shay again. without ticfest, i would not be in this position right now. icanjust... ..just be free.

6:50 am
of the stars of the film apollo 13, has always loved everything to do with space. now his passion for the stars has led to a new project — the moonwalkers — a show that he hopes will bring viewers a sense of what it's like to journey to the moon. the show is part of nasa's build—up for the next lunar mission. tom's been showing our entertainment correspondent david sillito around the exhibition. hey, tom! david! what a pleasure. nice to see you. this is amazing. you're taking me somewhere? yes. it's only its only a small step, but it's also a giant leap at the same time. lead me. a spirit of adventure about you now. you know when someone asks if you fancy going on a journey to the moon with tom hanks? you say, "yes". that's quite... rocket motors you can experience. you would think that thing would shoot up.
6:51 am
we shouldn't be standing here, should we? we should not. it's going to get a little hot, but that's ok. but don't worry. that's ice that is falling down. oh, that's what that is. that's the moisture from the super cold liquid hydrogen fuel tanks. tom, as you can probably tell, really knows his space. it's been a passion from childhood and this is his show, an astronaut�*s eye view of what it was like to be on an apollo mission. and it all began when tom first saw this space being used for a david hockney show, and he had an idea. how did this begin? i mean, this is your project, isn't it? well, yeah, i guess so. isaid, i probably actually asked a question. i said, if we can walk into this painting, could we actually walk on the moon as well? and they said, "yeah, yeah, we can make that happen." "yeah, we could do that" and said, "would you like "to work on it with me?" and they said, "yeah." so that's when you had the idea you walked in and you certainly thought this could be the moon. you could put people
6:52 am
on the moon in a way that has never, ever, ever, ever been done. and it requires a space as unique as this and a crack team. this is the closest you're going to get to what it feels like to be on the moon. that's what you're looking for? outside of the fact that we're still in 1g gravity, this is visiting the moon yourself. yes. but this isn'tjust history. it's also a fanfare for what's about to happen. good morning. good afternoon. what is it exactly up there now? tom has been working with nasa, meeting the astronauts for the next moon mission, which is due to take off next year. but there is a question. this, going into space, it's an indulgence. there are so many other things we could be spending our money on, so many more important things in life. is it still important? what does it do for an individual? you could argue that maybe not much. but what does it do for the cause of humanity? something magnificent. it takes us to this next place. there's going to come a time when someone is going to live permanently on places like the moon or in space. and when that happens,
6:53 am
who are we as a species? who are we as a race? who are we as earthlings? we will become interplanetary beings. and isn't that what we're supposed to do as human beings? we're always supposed to... is it? we're always supposed to get out of the cave and go beyond the campfire and cross the valley and get on the other side of the river to see what is there. and we have never not found something magnificent as well as a magnification of of ourselves. you get a different feel, don't you, when you're looking at it this way? and then as we stood there, a thought occurred. so, you love space. you've loved it since you were... well, watching all this as a 13 year old, so why have you never been up there? i don't think it would be the experience that i myself would be looking for. i'd like to go... if they want to invite me up and do science experiments on me for six and a half months.... you're available to go? i would do that without a doubt. and if they when the artemis
6:54 am

6:56 am
in response, tfl says it's committed to ensuring all passengers and staff are protected from harm across the network. british transport police says preventing and tackling hate crime is a priority. c2c, the train company which runs services between southend and london, has recovered more than a quarter of a million pounds from passengers trying to dodge rail fares. so far this yearjust over 3,000 people have received penalty fares, and 319 people have been prosecuted. c2c say they're increasing the number of revenue protection officers on trains across essex to help catch so—called fare evaders. people do give us various excuses — "i can't find my ticket. i thought one, i've lost it. i left it on the train." it's your responsibility to make sure you keep your ticket with you at all times and it's valid for the full duration of your journey. we recently had one individual who'd evaded their fare on 142 occasions. tomorrow night is children in need and all this week we are looking at the children in london that benefit

6:58 am
further north, you are the home counties, largely cloudy, a few showers, potentially. the rain gradually turning patchier today and temperatures reaching somewhere between seven and nine celsius. so in single figures then overnight the rain will continue to clear away eastwards. you can see the clear skies behind and underneath those in the west. temperatures at their coolest three celsius, the minimum. so a chilly start to friday. plenty of sunshine around, though. through tomorrow, the wind will start to strengthen a little, however, but it's dry. and like i say, lots of sunshine. temperatures on friday reaching around ten celsius and i can see the cloud edging in from the west as we head towards the end of tomorrow. it'll turn that sunshine hazy and then bring some heavy rain for saturday. it's also, however, bringing some warmer air. so feeling milder through the weekend. that's it. but if you want to find out about the excavation of the workhouse in st pancras that is thought to have inspired charles dickens, head to our website where you can find all the details. we're back in half an hour. see you then.
6:59 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. ministers say they're in the final stages of negotiating a new asylum seekers treaty with rwanda, as the government tries to save its flagship policy which the supreme court declared unlawful. labour leader sir keir starmer has suffered a major rebellion over his refusal to call for a ceasefire in gaza — ten frontbenchers have left theirjobs over the vote. there has been a lot of anger over standing charges, and now the energy regulator ofgem says it's looking at an alternative. it'll also be giving you the chance to have your say. and as the final series of the crown is released today, we'll find out how it deals with the death of princess diana.
7:00 am
good morning from the strictly experience in madame tussauds in blackpool. strictly come dancing returns to the terror this weekend for a mostly glamorous outfits like these ones around me. the forecast for today is wet and windy in the south, a lot of dry weather, early morning fog and frost, and more rain in the west later. details later. good morning. it's thursday, the 16th of november. the immigration minister, robertjenrick, says the government is in the final stages of negotiating a new treaty with rwanda, as it tries to revive its plan for the country to take asylum seekers sent from the uk. rishi sunak has also pledged to introduce emergency legislation into parliament, after the supreme court unanimously ruled yesterday that downing street's existing proposals were unlawful. graham satchell has this report. how do you stop the boats?
7:01 am
the government's plan was to send asylum seekers to a third country, rwanda, where their applications would be processed. that plan has been left in tatters after the supreme court ruled it was unlawful. hands off refugees now! the courtjudgment said rwanda was not a safe country for refugees, particularly because there was a risk they could be forced back to their country of origin, where their life could be in danger. the ruling is a significant blow for the prime minister, rishi sunak, who's made tackling illegal migration a key pledge. we are a reasonable government and this is a reasonable country. but the british people's patience can only be stretched so thin, and they expect the boats to be stopped. the government has now announced a series of measures to resurrect its immigration plans, a new treaty with rwanda, which would prevent the removal of asylum seekers back to their home country, and emergency legislation to mark rwanda as a safe country. we have won on the most
7:02 am
important question of all, which is the principle, which is that a country such as the united kingdom can work with another partner, such as rwanda. critics, including the labour party, say the government is now in disarray, and that sending asylum seekers to rwanda will never work and is not a deterrent. the only thing that is a deterrent is people knowing they're coming into a well organised, a functional asylum seeking process, and if they don't qualify, they are returned swiftly. the plan to send asylum seekers to rwanda was announced in 2022. it has already cost at least £140 million and no one has yet been sent to the country. but the government says it intends to see flights starting in the spring. graham satchel, bbc news. in halfan in half an hour we will be talking to the newly appointed home secretary, james cleverly. we will
7:03 am
also be getting a view from the labour party as well, as it struggles with some descent, charlie. yes, this is about the vote that happened last night. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, has said he regrets the loss of 10 of his shadow ministers who have left their jobs over the party's stance on the conflict with gaza. a total of 56 labour mps backed an snp amendment calling for a ceasefire. our political correspondent hannah miller reports. ceasefire now! the calls are getting louder, both outside parliament and in. every minute, every hour, every day we wait is another orphan, another grieving mother, and another family wiped out. we need a full and immediate ceasefire now. my constituents have demanded this and i will not refuse them. there is nothing humanitarian about letting children - eat a little today, only. to bomb them tomorrow. the only humanitarian way forward
7:04 am
is an immediate ceasefire. - keir starmer lost ten of his front bench team, including eight shadow ministers, and saw 56 of his mps rebel, all voting in favour of the snp's amendment for a ceasefire. among them is prominent, now former, frontbencherjess phillips. in a resignation letter she called it a tough week in politics, and wrote... "i can see no route where the current military action does anything but put at risk any hope of peace and security for anyone in the region." keir starmer had hoped that his motion calling for a longer humanitarian pause could keep his mps onside. in a letter he said he agrees that "much more needs to be done to ease the humanitarian crisis in gaza. "i regret that some colleagues felt unable to support the position tonight. "but i want to be where about where i stood, and where i will stand," he said. "leadership is about doing the right thing."
7:05 am
keir starmer will hope this is the last of the challenges he faces on this issue. but as long as mps are hearing voices like this, the division in labour will remain. hannah miller, bbc news. let's get the latest now from our chief political correspondent, henry zeffman. a very busy day yesterday. sir keir starmer faced with this rebellion. what effect will this have on him? it is certainly damaging for a keir starmer. it's embarrassing for a keir starmer. more than a quarter of labour mps defied him on this issue. it is the biggest rebellion of his leadership. i guess the small consolation that he can take from this is that it is quite a self—contained issue. ultimately, the ten frontbenchers who resigned to vote against them, or were sacked, were willing to make keir starmer prime minister before that, and they are willing to make keir
7:06 am
starmer prime minister after that. they are not inveterate opponents of his leadership. but i do think is keir starmer tries to make the arguido that the labour party has changed, you will see rishi sunak, especially as the election campaign gears up, throwing this vote back at him and saying, more than a quarter of labour mps take a different view to them, but also to the government and to the us government and much of the western democratic consensus, on this issue, and he will make that, i think, a centrepiece the conservative party election campaign. conservative party election campaign-— conservative party election camaiun. fl ., ., conservative party election cam-cain. �*, ., ., l, campaign. let's go back to the lead sto , and campaign. let's go back to the lead story. and i — campaign. let's go back to the lead story. and i guess _ campaign. let's go back to the lead story, and i guess in _ campaign. let's go back to the lead story, and i guess in some - campaign. let's go back to the lead story, and i guess in some way - story, and i guess in some way everyone, you included, me included, conservative mps what —— included and people watching, will be thinking the same thing this morning, will those wonder flights ever happen?— morning, will those wonder flights ever ha en? , , ., ., ever happen? good question. i mean, rishi sunak — ever happen? good question. i mean, rishi sunak came _ ever happen? good question. i mean, rishi sunak came out _ ever happen? good question. i mean, rishi sunak came out with _ ever happen? good question. i mean, rishi sunak came out with what - ever happen? good question. i mean, rishi sunak came out with what was i rishi sunak came out with what was kind of plan b yesterday but really, i think it isjust plan a kind of plan b yesterday but really, i think it is just plan a with bells
7:07 am
on. because it involves upgrading different bits of plan a. so there was a memorandum of understanding with the rwandan government. he wants to make that a binding treaty. he wants to underpin that with emergency legislation. he is holding open the possibility of looking at some of the uk's international conventions, including the hot button issue of the european convention on human rights. what do all of those approaches have in common? even if you use the word emergency, i think they will take time. the emergency legislation, for example, would have to go through the house of lords, who will want to have a close look at it. if you are talking about those planes taking off crucially before the general election, which is what so many conservative mps want, it is looking much, much less likely today than it ever has before. thank you. israel has promised to provide proof to back up its claim that hamas was using gaza's largest hospital as a command centre. hamas — which is designated as a terrorist operation by the uk government — has repeatedly denied

the allegations about the al—shifa hospital. let's get the latest now from our middle east correspondent yolande knell. evidence is the key here. so what evidence has been presented? weill. evidence has been presented? well, there is a video _ evidence has been presented? well, there is a video that _ evidence has been presented? well, there is a video that has _ evidence has been presented? -ii there is a video that has been put out by the israeli military and it shows what it says are hamas assault rifles, grenades, protective gear, things like that. they were inside of the radiology department of the hospital, it says. one of my colleagues was actually on and end bed with the military and shown this military equipment. —— embed. she was told about laptops they say they took from the site. other technical equipment, which they say shows hamas fighters were using the hospital as a base model perhaps just a few days ago. they say they have got some evidence about the hostages that have been taken on the
7:09 am
laptops, but we can't independently verify any thing that we were told, or that we saw in terms of the computers. otherwise, we are told this operation is continuing, that the israeli military is widening its scope. we heard from a doctor at al—shifa hospital overnight that they were israeli bulldozers operating at the southgate. really, what we haven't seen at this point is anything like the claims from the israeli military that this is used as a sophisticated command and control centre by hamas. we have been told previously there is a vast underground network of tunnels. there was a 3d model is really military put out to that effect. it says its search is ongoing. for the moment, thank _ says its search is ongoing. for the moment, thank you. _ almost half a million women in england will be able to get the contraceptive pill from pharmacies from next month, without the need for a gp appointment. the move is part of the government's wider pharmacy first scheme

7:16 am
will work with us to secure a labour government. but in the end a parliamentary vote is important. we are not a protest party. we are acting on these very difficult circumstances as if we were in government. and that means keir starmer was right to be firm in the parliamentary vote. he was right to require discipline from his front bench. he was not going to change his principled positionjust to be able to manage internal party politics better, and we have seen that time and again in contrast from the prime minister.— the prime minister. when you say that ou the prime minister. when you say that you accept — the prime minister. when you say that you accept there _ the prime minister. when you say that you accept there has - the prime minister. when you say that you accept there has been i the prime minister. when you say that you accept there has been al the prime minister. when you say l that you accept there has been a lot of hard because the people as they rankle with this decision, why not let people freely vote and then they can express their opinions freely? —— wrangle. because we are not a protest party. but -- wrangle. because we are not a protest party-— -- wrangle. because we are not a protest party. but a quarter of them still voted against _ protest party. but a quarter of them still voted against it, _ protest party. but a quarter of them still voted against it, voted - protest party. but a quarter of them still voted against it, voted for- still voted against it, voted for the snp amendment, a quarter, that is a big percentage?—

7:18 am
amendments that sees united party? yes i can because the deeper unity is there. —— that this is a united party. we are dealing with a deeply difficult issue, one in which we are backing israel pass right to defend itself in the face of that huge terror attack, itself in the face of that huge terrorattack, but itself in the face of that huge terror attack, but saying there is no blank cheque. it must do more to meet its duties under international law. we are also acting with the modest influence that we can as an opposition party, to help try and security breaks in fighting that allows to get more aid into gaza, reduce the level of civilian deaths, and we're doing that, notjust in public calls, but in the private diplomacy when we meet with israeli, palestinian and arab leaders, and we are doing that alongside international allies, working for the same thing, like the us, the european union and the un ag. let’s european union and the un ag. let's not foruet european union and the un ag. let's rrot forget what _ european union and the un ag. let's not forget what mps _ european union and the un ag. let's not forget what mps do here in the uk, they represent constituents. you are elected because you want to work

for a constituency and make life better for those constituents. so when these mps who voted for a ceasefire say they are constituent were saying, notjust one, not two, multiple, hundreds of constituents were asking them to speak on their behalf, which they have been elected to do, surely they were doing the right thing?— to do, surely they were doing the riaht thin ? , ., ., right thing? they were making their choice to reflect _ right thing? they were making their choice to reflect the _ right thing? they were making their choice to reflect the calls _ right thing? they were making their choice to reflect the calls they - choice to reflect the calls they were getting from their constituency. but as a political party in parliament, when it comes to a parliamentary vote, the range of views are respected, but in the end of has to be some determination, some discipline, and in this case the vast majority of labour mps accepted the leadership that keir starmer set out, backing israel's right to defend itself in the face of this ongoing risk of hamas attacks. but also, the most practical way of trying to achieve what everybody wants to see, which
7:20 am
is an alleviation of the palestinian suffering and steps towards a longer term piece, which keir starmer, unlike rishi sunak, has also been calling for. he has committed a labour government under his leadership to fight for that cause and lead to state political solution. and to launch a new plan for peace. solution. and to launch a new plan for neace. ., ., , ., i. for peace. how many of your constituents _ for peace. how many of your constituents asked _ for peace. how many of your constituents asked you - for peace. how many of your constituents asked you to i for peace. how many of your. constituents asked you to vote for peace. how many of your- constituents asked you to vote with the snp? i constituents asked you to vote with the snp? ., ., constituents asked you to vote with the snp? . ., , .., .,. the snp? i have had hundreds contact me concerned — the snp? i have had hundreds contact me concerned about _ the snp? i have had hundreds contact me concerned about the _ the snp? i have had hundreds contact me concerned about the killings, i me concerned about the killings, concerned about... me concerned about the killings, concerned about. . .— concerned about... specifically askinu concerned about... specifically asking for _ concerned about... specifically asking for you _ concerned about... specifically asking for you to _ concerned about... specifically asking for you to vote - concerned about... specifically asking for you to vote for- concerned about... specifically asking for you to vote for a i asking for you to vote for a ceasefire?— asking for you to vote for a ceasefire? ., ., ~' asking for you to vote for a ceasefire? ., ., ~ ., ceasefire? look, in the end we are not commentators, _ ceasefire? look, in the end we are not commentators, we _ ceasefire? look, in the end we are not commentators, we are - ceasefire? look, in the end we are not commentators, we are not i ceasefire? look, in the end we are not commentators, we are not a l not commentators, we are not a protest party, we have to contribute, even in opposition, to finding a way through to securing a reduction in the suffering, or humanitarian aid in gaza, and in the long run, a lasting peace which can only be based on a political state

7:22 am
standing charges are too high and that it standing charges are too high and thatitis standing charges are too high and that it is looking at ways to reform them. we now have a little bit more detail about the consultation it is carrying out. let'sjust remind detail about the consultation it is carrying out. let's just remind you. one of these charges and why do you have to pay them? well, they are a fixed daily fee that is applied to your energy bills. there is a standing charge for gas and one for electricity. they vary depending on your supplier and where you live. but ofgem sets the maximum price for these standing charges every three months through the energy price cap. now the crucial date is that it is a fixed charge. that means you will pay it, even if you don't use much energy. in fact, pay it, even if you don't use much energy. infact, even pay it, even if you don't use much energy. in fact, even if you use no energy. in fact, even if you use no energy at all. what is it for? well, the money goes towards so—called non—energy costs that companies say they pay on behalf of us as customers. that includes things like delivering the gas and electricity to your home, the cost of network maintenance, the greats, the pipes, and sending out staff to do metre
7:23 am
readings and repairs. —— the greats. standing charges have gone up significantly recently. for example, the average charge per year for a typical household back in april 2019 was about £180. look much that has climbed. july this year, almost £300 a year. why? well, the companies say the main factor has been that they have had to absorb the cost and the dozens of energy supplies that have gone bust in recent years. so, i mentioned a consultation. but what does the regulator intent to do about these standing charges? ofgem's new head of markets has been speaking to the bbc and began by explaining why they have lodged this consultation. the one element of people's bills people _ the one element of people's bills people find very difficult is the standing charge part of the bill, the fixed — standing charge part of the bill, the fixed part of the bill they pay regardless of the amount of energy they use _ regardless of the amount of energy they use. we think now is the time to reopen — they use. we think now is the time to reopen the debate had look at how

from the passenger watchdog london travelwatch. in response tfl says it's "committed to ensuring all passengers and staff are protected from harm" across the network. british transport police says preventing and tackling hate crime is a priority. a pupil referral unit in surrey says it's facing a surge in demand after a rise in school exclusions. the inclusive education trust says requests for support from its service has grown since the pandemic. figures for surrey show permanent exclusions rose from 59 in 2018/19 to 107 in 2021/22. of young people who i would say are square pegs in round holes in mainstream schools and their needs aren't being met and that therefore manifests in terms of challenging behaviour. in response the government says its investing 2.6 billion pounds to create tens of thousands of new places for children with special educational needs and disabilities. tomorrow night is children in need, and all this week

7:29 am
from the south and the west heavy and persistent. further north, the home counties largely cloudy a few showers potentially. the rain gradually turning patchier today and temperatures reaching somewhere between seven and nine celsius. so in single figures. then overnight the rain will continue to clear away eastwards. you can see the clear skies behind and underneath those in the west. temperatures at their coolest three celsius the minimum. so a chilly start to friday. plenty of sunshine around though. through tomorrow, the wind will start to strengthen a little however but it's dry. and, like i say, lots of sunshine. temperatures on friday reaching around ten celsius and i can see the cloud edging in from the west as we head towards the end of tomorrow. it'll turn that sunshine hazy and then bring some heavy rain for saturday. it's also, however, bringing some warmer air. so feeling milder through the weekend. that's it, but if you want to find out about the excavation of the workhouse in st pancras that is thought to have inspired charles dickens head to our website where you can find all the details. we're back in half an hour. see you then.

7:51 am
for 26 years. and so it has a certain sacredness, you know, and so you have to treat it with that. dignity and respect and in order to honour it. the crown is a drama, not a documentary. but many historians say it should have stuck to the facts. private conversations, for example, are presented in the programme, and there's no way if we know they ever happened. as a historian, it sometimes does make me want to cry because it's not entirely accurate. it's and i think, you know, the issue with the crown and i think, you know, the issue with the crown is that it's so good because the production quality is so high and they take real people and they take real events. so i think you should expect a degree of accuracy and we don't always get that. sometimes it does make me quite a bit annoyed that they do change these things and they frankly make things up, but it is quite good.
7:52 am
so i can see why it's gotten this far, despite the inaccuracies. when the final series finishes and the media coverage subsides, there may be a sigh of relief at buckingham palace. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. we arejoined now by the bbc�*s former royal correspondentjennie bond. good morning to you. fans will be very excited _ good morning to you. fans will be very excited about _ good morning to you. fans will be very excited about this, _ good morning to you. fans will be very excited about this, but - good morning to you. fans will be very excited about this, but what| very excited about this, but what should people expect as it is the final series now. an should people expect as it is the final series now.— final series now. an incredibly . loss final series now. an incredibly glossy production _ final series now. an incredibly glossy production and - final series now. an incredibly glossy production and it - final series now. an incredibly glossy production and it is - glossy production and it is bewitching to see having seen the clip so far, it's brilliant he acted and somewhat accurate, but it rather like eric morecambe said, quite a lot of the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order and that confuses history and that is the big danger that young people are lapping it up and believing every word, and it is a work of fiction. but listening to elizabeth there, who portrays diana, saying that doing that was unbearable to

experience a little of what diana went through, you know, ithink experience a little of what diana went through, you know, i think it's unbearable for diana's children, william and harry, to witness a fictionalised account of the last days of their mother's life. i don't know how anyone would feel if your mother, not so long ago, that death, really, if she was portrayed on television, not only the last days of her life but coming back as a ghost. it is utterly tasteless and hurtful and painful. i ghost. it is utterly tasteless and hurtful and painful.— ghost. it is utterly tasteless and hurtful and painful. i imagine they won't be watching _ hurtful and painful. i imagine they won't be watching and _ hurtful and painful. i imagine they won't be watching and there - hurtful and painful. i imagine they won't be watching and there have| won't be watching and there have been films as well following diana's story. been films as well following diana's sto . , ., _ , been films as well following diana's sto , story. you say they won't watch it, but we don't _ story. you say they won't watch it, but we don't know. _ story. you say they won't watch it, but we don't know. i'm _ story. you say they won't watch it, but we don't know. i'm sure - story. you say they won't watch it, | but we don't know. i'm sure william won't. he has been reported are believed to be that he sees as the exploitation of his mother but harry is on record saying he has watched the crown and enjoyed it to an extent and fact checked it and is on record as saying i would rather

if members of the royal family were out, nearly all of the big pictures were of her, just as they used to be. the press hold back on pursuing her in the way that diana was pursued, so she's not hunted in that way but she's a pretty big star and she's gaining that stardom on the global scene. from my point of view i've been doing it for 35 years and i'm busier than ever on reporting on the royals. the story is a soap opera some would say goes on and on and i see no sign of it slowing down. , ., ~ ,, and i see no sign of it slowing down. , ., ~' ,, , and i see no sign of it slowing down. , ., ~ , . ., down.

8:02 am
was not a safe country for refugees, particularly because there was a risk they could be forced back to their country of origin, where their life could be in danger. the ruling is a significant blow for the prime minister, rishi sunak, who's made tackling illegal migration a key pledge. we are a reasonable government and this is a reasonable country. but the british people's patience can only be stretched so thin, and they expect the boats to be stopped. the government has now announced a series of measures to resurrect its immigration plans, a new treaty with rwanda, which would prevent the removal of asylum seekers back to their home country, and emergency legislation to mark rwanda as a safe country. we have won on the most important question of all, we pre—empted this. we have been working _ we pre—empted this. we have been working on— we pre—empted this. we have been working on this for well over a year now _ working on this for well over a year now we _ working on this for well over a year now we are — working on this for well over a year now. we are in the final stages of turning _ now. we are in the final stages of turning it — now. we are in the final stages of turning it into a treaty. that can be

with gaza. a total of 56 labour mps supported an snp amendment backing a ceasefire. that was in defiance of sir keir, who had instead called for longer humanitarian pauses in the fighting. a parliamentary vote is important. we're not a protest party, we're acting in these very difficult circumstancs as if we were in government. and that means keir was right to be firm in the parliamentary vote. he was right to require a discipline from his front bench, and he was not going to change his principled position just to be able to manage internal party politics better. let's get the latest now from our chief political correspondent, henry zeffman. we heard labour's position effectively, that he was right to stick to his guns. but parallel to that it could be awkward, it could be embarrassing, it could be damaging? it be embarrassing, it could be damaging?— be embarrassing, it could be damarrin? ,. ., ,~ ~ .,

damaging? it is certainly awkward and embarrassing. _ damaging? it is certainly awkward and embarrassing. it _ damaging? it is certainly awkward and embarrassing. it is _ damaging? it is certainly awkward and embarrassing. it is the - damaging? it is certainly awkward | and embarrassing. it is the biggest revolt of sir keir starmer�*s leadership of the labour party. he has been leader nearly four years. generally the view is that he has more control of the labour party than he did in his early days. that is why it is so striking that this large rebellion, more than a quarter of labour mps, defying him. what is fascinating as well as that they were not all mp5 from the left of the party who are generally less well disposed towards his leadership. think of someone like jess phillips, who has resigned as a shadow home office minister. she is generally more on keir starmer�*s wing of the party. on the other hand that suggests this is not a revolt against the idea of keir starmer being leader of the labour party, the idea of him being labour's candidate for prime minister. it is self—contained to this issue but nevertheless fears among keir starmer�*s allies that rishi sunak, in the election campaign and before, will use this rebellion against keir starmer to say whatever you say,

8:07 am
strategists look at this, as they are desperate for a plane to take off for rwanda before the general election, which we think will be in a year or so, well, all of these things the government is talking about are going to take time, even if you use the word emergency, the house of lords will not abide by that. they will want to scrutinise this in minute detail. it is that. they will want to scrutinise this in minute detail.— this in minute detail. it is a tall order. thank _ this in minute detail. it is a tall order. thank you. _ almost half a million women in england will be able to get the contraceptive pill from pharmacies from next month, without the need for a gp appointment. the move is part of the government's wider 'pharmacy first scheme' which will also see patients able to receive treatment for other common conditions such as sore throats. it's hoped the changes could help to free up doctors' appointments. president biden says the us and china have agreed to resume military—to—military communications, in an effort to ease rising tensions. speaking after a meeting with his chinese counterpart in san francisco, the us president described his talks with xi jinping as the most constructive and productive they've had.

david cameron has travelled to kyiv on his first working trip abroad since being named foreign secretary. mr cameron reiterated the uk's commitment to supporting ukraine through the war. he promised to continue the uk's moral support, diplomatic, economic, butabove continue the uk's moral support, diplomatic, economic, but above all, military support. president fuller selenski thanked mr cameron. —— volodymyr zelensky. in gaza, as the israeli operation in the largest hospital in the north, al—shifa, continues, some journalists were taken inside yesterday, including the bbc�*s lucy williamson, the access was limited by the israeli defence forces and she was not able to speak to doctors or patients. lucy joins us now from jerusalem. good morning. this is all about the evidence the israelis want the world to see. what did you witness? what did you see?—
8:09 am
did you see? well, driving into gaza last nirht did you see? well, driving into gaza last night it — did you see? well, driving into gaza last night it is _ did you see? well, driving into gaza last night it is clear— did you see? well, driving into gaza last night it is clear the _ did you see? well, driving into gaza last night it is clear the scale - did you see? well, driving into gaza last night it is clear the scale of- last night it is clear the scale of israel's operation. parts of gaza city look as if it has been hit by an earthquake. i think the fact we were invited in tells you volumes about the confidence israel's army has in its control of the area. we were invited right into the heart of gaza city, into the area around al—shifa, scene of some of the fiercest fighting of the past few days. i think it also tells you how keen israel is to explain to the world why its troops are there. it believes there is any network of tunnels under the hospital, used as a command centre by hamas. we were taken into one very specific part of the hospital, the mri unit, and shown some weapons and other equipment. the israeli army told us they hadn't found the tunnels yet. but that there were large areas of the hospital still to search. and they were convinced they were there.
8:10 am
we are in an israeli military vehicle inside the gaza strip. they are taking us towards gaza city. this area where the ground operation first began weeks ago now. since then, the israeli army has fought its way, methodically, towards gaza city, towards the gates of al—shifa hospital. that is where they are taking us now. we are still being told to keep our lights off. are we going this way? the israeli army has been searching through this hospital. you can see they have had to force the door of the mri room to get inside. they have been looking for evidence of this being a hamas base, a place where hamas planned attacks, and they said that among the things they have uncovered are more than a dozen kalashnikovs, grenades, personal protective equipment, some of it with the hamas
8:11 am
military brigade insignia on it. you can see some of them here hidden beneath bags of medical supplies. we are also told they have been laptops find with some information about the hostages, recent files that suggest this may have been a hamas operating base as recently as a few days ago. there has been a lot of pressure on israel for the humanitarian cost of its operation in gaza, not least inside of the al—shifa hospital where doctors say there are struggling to keep alive dozens of vulnerable on book —— newborn babies without electricity, food or water. now that israel does have control of the hospital and is carrying out the searches, it is also under pressure to prove, to give some evidence, that white is actually there. thank you. some breaking news. this is about royal mail's parent company and there are half year profits. royal mail reveals that it made a
8:12 am
loss of £319 million in the six months up to september. that is £100 million more than a last in the same period last year. it says some customers who abandoned the company during the strikes last year still have not returned and people also sent fewer letters. hence the loss of £319 million for the first six months of this financial year. it has been a challenging week for royal now. it was hit with a £5.6 million fine by ofcom for missing targets covering both first and second class deliveries. in the last financial year it delivered less than 74% of first last post within a day. that is far short of the 93% target which is set by the watch royal mail also failed to hit targets for second class post. around all of that, ofcom said royal mail had breached its obligations to customers. but it is those very
8:13 am
obligations which royal mail is also blaming for the big loss it made in the first half of this year. the boss said of the universal service obligation that requires royal mail to deliver six days a week to all uk addresses is, in his words, simply not sustainable. he described it as a network built for 20 billion letters, when they are now only delivering about a third of that number. thank you. let's bring you this news. train drivers are to stage a fresh series of strikes next month in a long—running dispute about pay. we got the news from ashley. we will find out what the indications are from —— for you later. —— aslef. in a world first, medical regulators in the uk have approved a gene therapy that aims to cure two rare blood disorders. sickle cell disease and and beta thalasemia are both life—threatening conditions that can cause extreme pain and leave sufferers needing regular blood transfusions. a new treatment, which involves
8:14 am
removing stem cells from a patient�*s bone marrow, could rid sufferers of the symptoms completely. those are your main stories this morning. you can probably seealready carol is in the strictly ballroom in blackpool. good morning. good morning. it is quite exciting being here, i must say. strictly come dancing live on bbc one this saturday at 18:40am. —— 18:a0pm. the studio is being rigged up. the ballroom is a special sprung floor that makes it easier to dance on. you can see in the corner of the area that claudia will be in with all the dances. move along, we have some of the audience seating in place. then there is the panel where the judges will sit. place. then there is the panel where thejudges will sit. it place. then there is the panel where the judges will sit. it is all sparkly, as you would expect. drift over further and that is where the
8:15 am
band will be. so, exciting stuff. can you imagine how you would feel if you're walking down the steps onto to this iconic ballroom dance floor? and then having to dance in front of millions of people. my heart is already thumping at the very prospect. but there will be seven couples seek to do that, all helping to lift that strictly trophy at the end of the competition. it is nice and dry and toasty and warm here. outside it is a different story. we have just had the coldest night of the autumn so far. temperatures in altnaharra is felt to below freezing. we have had torrential rain across the aisles of city and the south—west of bingen. the forecast for today in the south is a wet and a windy one. locally they will be some gaze across the english channel, the channel islands and coastal areas, adjacent to the english channel. —— gaels. further north we have fog which will be slow to clear. when it was clear many
8:16 am
will have a dry day and they will be some sunshine. it is a frosty start. you can see why we have got all this rain in the south. an area of low pressure is coming in. it has been named as storm frederico. that is because of the impact it is going to have in france. it would clear the south—east of england later in the day and behind it will be some showers. quite a bit of dry weather around. quite a bit of sunshine. what you will find as we have got another weather front coming in from the west later in the day, bringing in more rain. temperatures today lower than they were yesterday. it will feel cold if you are out and about. as we head on through the evening and overnight at the weather front coming into the west continues to move east and fizzles. it is another cold night in prospect. frost and also some fog once again, which will be slow to clear. around the midlands, northern ireland, temperatures hovering around freezing. once again we are looking at —5 in altnaharra. as we head through the course of tomorrow, a
8:17 am
dry day for many. we lose the dregs of the front. we have a new system coming in from the south—west. bringing in wet and windy conditions. as that goes across as during the course of saturday, nowhere is immune to seeing some rain. once again it is going to be windy. one thing you will notice on saturdays it is going to be milder because the wind direction is changing to more of a south—westerly. can i just say, south—westerly. can ijust say, well done south—westerly. can i just say, well done for keeping going. it is like a discotheque in there. charlie, it's exciting though. just look at it. it's lovely seeing behind the scenes as well. because you don't think about this. i switch on my television and i watch a programme. i don't think about all the work that goes into getting it on air, all the preparation, all the different people with all the different people with all the differentjobs. i love his side or it as much as watching the live. there you go. an insight into a discotheque. i thought it was like
8:18 am
the inside of the tardis. 18 minutes past eight. bbc analysis has found that two—thirds of nhs maternity units in england don't consistently meet safety standards. that's worse than a year ago, when the figure was just over half. the health regulator, the care quality commission, says maternity has the worst safety ratings of all hospital services it inspects. our health correspondent, catherine burns, has been to one hospital that's trying to improve its safety rating. i think something's going wrong. that's why i'm getting out. there's something wrong with the baby, i think. we were filming on a corridor in the labour ward at northwick park hospital in north—west london, when it became clear there was a serious problem. a young woman was in the end stages of labour, and they couldn't hear the baby's heart beat properly. every member of staff had one focus — delivering the baby safely. as the minutes passed by it was incredibly tense. but then the sound everyone wanted to hear.
8:19 am
baby cries. absolutely beautiful. yeah. and she's come out in really good condition. then mum was taken away to theatre for some stitches. it's a rare gift, seeing a new life less than ten minutes after coming into the world. seeing the joy as a family meets its youngest member. she's adorable. and seeing the instant love as new father himanshu locks eyes with his daughter kiana for the very first time. awesome. this might not look like a maternity unit with problems, but it is. two years ago, inspectors from the care quality commission, the cqc, rated it as inadequate for safety, the worst possible rating. a follow—up saw progress, but still said it required improvement, and it's far from alone.
8:20 am
last autumn, we analyzed cdc data and found that 55% of maternity units in england weren't always meeting safety standards. the cqc has prioritized maternity inspections and now has a fuller picture. it's worse. almost 70% either require improvement or are inadequate for safety. and 15% are in that bottom category, inadequate. that's more than doubled since last autumn. kate toroney from the cdc told me maternity currently has the poorest safety rating of all the hospital services it inspects. it's disappointing, it's unacceptable. i think the point is, we've seen this deterioration and action needs to happen now, so that women next week can have the assurance that they need that they're going to get that high quality care in any maternity setting across england. my daughter's life was effectively ended before it got started.
8:21 am
rachel tustain didn't get that quality of care when her daughter eve was born in a hospital hundreds of miles away. she was injured at birth, a forceps delivery that went badly wrong. that force actually fractured part of her skull, which also severed an artery and caused a massive bleed in her brain. eve lived with huge challenges until last year. she was just five. i think sometimes itjust catches you unexpectedly. we as parents have so much guilt that we couldn't stop what happened to her in the first place. the life she had was not the life she should have had. ministers here at the department of health know, and they have known for some time, about problems with maternity safety. they also know they're not looking likely to meet targets to halve the numbers of mothers and babies dying by 2025. then there's the fact that families affected by certain high profile maternity scandals at some hospitals are now calling for a full public
8:22 am
inquiry across england. we wanted to speak to ministers here about all of this, and several times we asked for an interview. that request was eventually refused. instead, they gave us this statement, wanting to reassure mothers and families that maternity care is of the utmost importance to this government. they said... "we're working incredibly hard to improve maternity services, focusing on recruitment, training and the retention of midwives. but we know there is more to do." in northern ireland, a review has called for a new safety strategy. wales has delayed the second phase of a maternity review. and the scottish government says it is committed to delivering high quality care. i think once you know how to use it, it's actually really easy, isn't it? here at northwick park, they say maternity is already improving, with the stillbirth rate lower than the national average. i'm determined that we're going to turn things around,
8:23 am
i really am. and actually, from the improvements that we've made in the last year, actually, that shows evidence that we are turning things around. but they are not quick improvements. so i like think in another year we'll be in a very different place in terms of what our cqc rating will look like. like the vast majority of the 1500 babies born in england every day, baby kiana is fine, home with herfamily, happy and healthy. the hope is that every baby can have such a safe start. catherine burns, bbc news. let's discuss this more now, we'rejoined by dr clea harmer, chief executive of the charity sands. good morning. i can only imagine what someone who is pregnant right now, expecting a baby come expecting to go into hospital right now, will think when they hear that. this is not the first time. when they hear these standards that are not being made in hospitals. what would you
8:24 am
say to them right now? i made in hospitals. what would you say to them right now?— say to them right now? i think you are absolutely _ say to them right now? i think you are absolutely right. _ say to them right now? i think you are absolutely right. it's _ say to them right now? i think you are absolutely right. it's really - are absolutely right. it's really frightening. i think it's particularly frightening if you have already suffered a loss, if your baby has already died. and i really want people out there to know that if they are frightened there are organisations like sands, particularly if you have had a loss, that are here to walk beside them. but one of the most important things is to make sure that you talk to the health professionals who are caring for you and that you are listened to. ., , for you and that you are listened to. . , , . , �* to. that is the difference, isn't it? it is all— to. that is the difference, isn't it? it is all very _ to. that is the difference, isn't it? it is all very well _ to. that is the difference, isn't it? it is all very well talking . to. that is the difference, isn't| it? it is all very well talking but you need to make sure you are heard. perhaps now more than ever people need to make sure that when they're in a position of vulnerability, which obviously if you are giving birth you are, and may be your partner is feeling vulnerable too, you get somebody to advocate for you if needs be, or you prepare that? yes, and there is no doubt that
8:25 am
listening to parents saves lives. and the reports that have all come out all highlight the importance of listening to parents. and i think if we can build a culture where parents are listened to, respected and heard, then maternity safety will improve. and i think listening to parents is notjust about listening during pregnancy and birth. it is about listening if the worst happens. so if a baby does die, listening to a parent explain what happened, involving them in the review, making sure that their voices are absolutely central, and i think that will really help improve potentially safety.— potentially safety. everything you have said makes _ potentially safety. everything you have said makes a _ potentially safety. everything you have said makes a great - potentially safety. everything you have said makes a great deal - potentially safety. everything you have said makes a great deal of l have said makes a great deal of sense about making sure your voices heard, and then there is the practicality. then there is going into a hospital, being very nervous, being worried, concerned, medics who are busy. it is noisy. everything is
8:26 am
going on. one of these signs that people need to look out for that things are not as they should be? how can people know that they are being treated properly, as opposed to in a substandard way? there is nothing to compare to. you to in a substandard way? there is nothing to compare to.— to in a substandard way? there is nothing to compare to. you have got nothin: to nothing to compare to. you have got nothing to compare _ nothing to compare to. you have got nothing to compare it _ nothing to compare to. you have got nothing to compare it to. _ nothing to compare to. you have got nothing to compare it to. i _ nothing to compare to. you have got nothing to compare it to. i think - nothing to compare it to. i think it's about feeling that you are being seen as a person. and that person centred care. safe care is person centred care. safe care is person centred. and it is compassionate. and if you feel that the people who are caring for you can't see you as a person, that they are compassionate... but i suppose flipping it the other way around, it shouldn't all be on the parents to worry about whether their care is safe or not. it should be about the system and enabling all of those who work in the system to give the safe, compassionate care they want to. that's a very good point as well. i
8:27 am
dare say a lot of the individual medics who work in the hospitals would say that is exactly what they are trying to do. so you end up thinking, wherein lies the problem? there are good people trying to do a good job. there are parents saying the right things, and yet? yes. the right things, and yet? yes, exactl . the right things, and yet? yes, exactly- i— the right things, and yet? yes, exactly. i think _ the right things, and yet? yes, exactly. i think it _ the right things, and yet? yes, exactly. i think it is _ the right things, and yet? yes, exactly. i think it is so - the right things, and yet? re: exactly. i think it is so important that it isn't about individuals because individuals, health care professionals, going on to do the bestjob they can, but it is the system that is maybe not supporting them, so maybe they are too tired, maybe the equipment isn't right, maybe the equipment isn't right, maybe they have not had the right training. find maybe they have not had the right traininr. �* ., _ , maybe they have not had the right traininr. . . _ , , training. and when that system is wronr , or training. and when that system is wrong. or not _ training. and when that system is wrong, or not working _ training. and when that system is wrong, or not working i _ training. and when that system is wrong, or not working i should i training. and when that system is i wrong, or not working i should say, then you get the knock—on effect, people not being able to fight the system, those who work within the system, those who work within the system and being able to shout out or call out of the system, and it almost becomes like an ever decreasing... almost becomes like an ever decreasing. . .—
8:28 am
almost becomes like an ever decreasin: . .. ., . decreasing... so, we need a culture that allows — decreasing... so, we need a culture that allows people _ decreasing... so, we need a culture that allows people to _ decreasing... so, we need a culture that allows people to give _ decreasing... so, we need a culture that allows people to give the - decreasing... so, we need a culture that allows people to give the care. that allows people to give the care they want to give a culture where, when something goes wrong, instead of feeling blamed, instead of feeling really frightened, and if you are frightened the care you deliver probably deteriorates anyway, but instead of feeling that, you feel you can flag up what has happened. you know that people will look at the mistake that has happened and learn from it. and you have a system that supports the learning entity safety. the fact this keeps happening means that people are too frightened, worried about being blamed. we are not moving forward, learning lessons. and what we now, parents tell us if a baby dies, what they want more than anything else is for nobody else to go through what they have been through. they want learning to happen. and we owe it to these parents. we owe it to these babies to make a culture, a just culture, where people can learn, can move on, can improve the care that they are

hello and good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. scotland yard says no laws were broken when pro—palestinian protesters climbed on the royal artillery memorial at hyde park corner after a demonstration outside the houses of parliament yesterday evening. but it says officers did intervene. meanwhile the force says officers continue to investigate a range of offences at previous rallies, including hate crimes, violent disorder and assault following a march and counter protest on armistice day. they are examining hundreds of hours of cctv. one in five lgbtq+ people have been harassed or faced abuse and violence while travelling on public transport in london in the past year. that's according to new research from the passenger watchdog london travelwatch. in response, tfl says it's "committed to ensuring all passengers and staff are protected from harm" across the network. british transport police says preventing and tackling hate crime is a priority.
8:32 am
c2c, the train company which runs services between southend and london, has recovered more than a quarter of a million pounds from passengers trying to dodge rail fares. so far this yearjust over 3,000 people have received penalty fares and 319 people have been prosecuted. c2c say they're increasing the number of revenue protection officers. tomorrow night is children in need and all this week we are looking at the children in london that benefit from your donations. on tonight's programme at 630, we visit the habbit factory in havering. it's an inclusive theatre programme bringing together young people. i mean, you know, it's yourfavorite when it's the one that your mum uses to make sure you behave, like, you know, "if your room's not tidy, no habbit factory." it's something so special and there's nothing quite like it. it's having a space where you don't have to be scared of what you do. you just can do what you need to do
8:33 am
and everyone supports you, no matter what. let's take a look at the tubes now. london overground has no service watford junction to euston. all other lines running well. now onto the weather with kate. morning. it's a cloudy start this morning and we have some heavy rain added into the mix as well. it's going to feel a bit chillier than it has for the last couple of days as well. now the rain coming up from the south and the west heavy and persistent. further north, the home counties largely cloudy a few showers potentially. the rain gradually turning patchier today and temperatures reaching somewhere between seven and nine celsius. so in single figures. then overnight the rain will continue to clear away eastwards. you can see the clear skies behind and underneath those in the west. temperatures at their coolest, three celsius the minimum. so a chilly start to friday. plenty of sunshine around though through tomorrow, the wind will start to strengthen a little however but it's dry. and, like i say, lots of sunshine. temperatures on friday reaching around ten celsius and i can see the cloud edging in from the west as we head
8:34 am
towards the end of tomorrow. it'll turn that sunshine hazy and then bring some heavy rain for saturday. it's also, however, bringing some warmer air. so feeling milder through the weekend. that's it, but if you want to find out about the excavation of the workhouse in st pancras that is thought to have inspired charles dickens, head to our website where you can find all the details. we're back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. children in need supports thousands of children and young people across the uk, and tomorrow night some of them will tell their stories on the charity's annual appeal show. one of them is 11—year—old shay, who has tourette's syndrome. one of tomorrow night's presenters — the comedian chris ramsey — has his story. my name's shay. i'm 11 years old, and i love football. ijust love kicking the ball. and, for me, it feels
8:35 am
like a release of stress. shay was around four or five years old when he started having a blinking tic. we just thought it was just weird habits he'd got into. and then they'lljust go away. he went to bed one evening and woke up, and he could not stop shaking his head. tics are really hard to control. he tics when i don't do my tics, it really... he tics i struggle quite a lot, because it feels like inside i'm hurting. ten months after that was recorded, shay was formally diagnosed with tourette's syndrome. he and his family have had a very, very difficult few years. but today, he's in a much better place after being helped by a special charity
8:36 am
supported by your donations. shay walked in a little shellshocked. - he'd had a rough time. he wasn't being accepted. and all of a sudden you could see this, j "oh, my god, i'm notj on my own" moment. and he just blossomed. tourette's syndrome is more of a neurological disorder, which makes you do something called tics. it's like my brain will tell me to tic, like that. my brain would tell me to do that. but i can't stop it. he was petrified of his own shadow. didn't want to go out, he shut himself awayi because he was afraid of what people were thinking. even with us, he was different. destroyed us, isn't it? i can hold it in for a good amount of time, but then after it'll all come out
8:37 am
and that's something called a tic attack. a tic attack — if you imagine like a volcano, right? all the little tics that i'm holding in, like all the lava is holding it in. it bursts out, and that's when i could have seizures. and all my tics come into one, and that is the most unreal pain. there's nothing worse than watching your child suffer, knowing you can't do anything. just walking out in public is a big thing for me, like... ..beans!... ..it�*s more of a not very nice thing. people staring at you, making fun of you. people can be very horrible sometimes. i thought i was on my own. i never knew no—one that had it. i was literally the most loneliest person ever. but he realised he wasn't alone. because thanks to your donations, tourette's action organise ticfest, a weekend of fun for children

8:46 am
of their manager's next assignment. chelsea fell behind to a deflected shot from olga carmona, but the wsl champions responded to equalise as niamh charles headed in ashley lawrence's cross, and then sam kerr guided in charles's delivery to put them ahead in a competition hayes wants to win before she leaves for the usa. her pathway towards winning the champions league for the first time with chelsea won't be so clear if the hampered by decisions like the ones that followed in spain. first, a penalty was awarded to real madrid, despitejessie fleming's challenge taking place outside the area and after carmona had made it 2—2, chelsea's charles, in the foreground of the picture here as the ball is played to her, was incorrectlyjudged offside and her goal in the dying seconds disallowed. hayes and her team left with a sense of injustice. adam cottier, bbc news. the fa cup fairytale is over for non league
8:47 am
cray valley paper mills. remember they caused one of the shocks of the first round, when they got a draw at league one charlton, but in the replay, behind the badgers sports and social club, it was a step too far. just before half time, the dream was alive again, when the side from the eighth tier of english football equalised from the penalty spot — kyrell lisbie the taker, with his dad kevin lisbie, a former charlton striker, unable to watch. but look at the pride when he could hear it— but look at the pride when he could hear it going and even if the professionals run away with it and it finished — professionals run away with it and it finished 6—1. at the end of season tennis finale, britain'sjoe salisbury and the american rajeev ram are into the semi—finals of the men's doubles, at the atp finals in turin. with the score 1 set all, it went to a 10—point tie—break — and the reigning champions beat salisbury's compatriot neal skupski and wesley koolhof of the netherlands.

8:49 am
you know when someone asks if you fancy going on a journey to the moon with tom hanks? you say, "yes". that's quite... rocket motors. you would think that thing would shoot up. we shouldn't be standing here, should we? we should not. it's going to get a little hot, but that's ok. but don't worry. that's ice that is falling down. oh, that's what that is. that's the moisture from the super cold liquid hydrogen fuel tanks. tom, as you can probably tell, really knows his space. it's been a passion from childhood and this is his show, an astronaut�*s eye view of what it was like to be on an apollo mission. and it all began when tom first saw this space being used for a david hockney show, and he had an idea. how did this begin? i mean, this is your project, isn't it? well, yeah, i guess so. isaid, i probably actually asked a question. i said, if we can walk into this painting, could we actually walk on the moon as well?
8:50 am
and they said, "yeah, yeah, we can make that happen." "yeah, we could do that" and said, "would you like "to work on it with me?" and they said, "yeah." so that's when you had the idea you walked in and you certainly thought this could be the moon. you could put people on the moon in a way that has never, ever, ever, ever been done. and it requires a space as unique as this and a crack team. this is the closest you're going to get to what it feels like to be on the moon. that's what you're looking for? outside of the fact that we're still in 1g gravity, this is visiting the moon yourself. yes. but this isn'tjust history. it's also a fanfare for what's about to happen. good morning. good afternoon. what is it exactly up there now? tom has been working with nasa, meeting the astronauts for the next moon mission, which is due to take off next year. but there is a question. this, going into space, it's an indulgence. there are so many other things we could be spending our money on, so many more important things in life. is it still important?
8:51 am
what does it do for an individual? you could argue that maybe not much. but what does it do for the cause of humanity? something magnificent. it takes us to this next place. there's going to come a time when someone is going to live permanently on places like the moon or in space. and when that happens, who are we as a species? who are we as a race? who are we as earthlings? we will become interplanetary beings. and isn't that what we're supposed to do as human beings? we're always supposed to... is it? we're always supposed to get out of the cave and go beyond the campfire and cross the valley and get on the other side of the river to see what is there. and we have never not found something magnificent as well as a magnification of ourselves. you get a different feel, don't you, when you're looking at it this way? and then as we stood there, a thought occurred. so, you love space. you've loved it since you were...
8:52 am
well, watching all this as a 13 year old, so why have you never been up there? i don't think it would be the experience that i myself would be looking for. i'd like to go... if they want to invite me up and do science experiments on me for six and a half months.... you're available to go? i would do that without a doubt. and if when the artemis missions go to the moon, if they need a guy to crackjokes and clean up after everybody, i'd do that as well. sojeff bezos hasn't offered you a lift up there yet? no, not yet. not that i know of. but i'll leave that to the folks with time on their hands and the money to pay for it. what do you want people to take away from this? awe. wonder. that's it. and at the end, a chance to really look at the main attraction, you know your moon, don't you? i couldn't point out to where it is, but i know the names of them, and they are so filled with romance. yeah. wouldn't you like to take a cruise in the sea of crises, wouldn't you like to go visit
8:53 am
the ocean of storms? i have. i have sailed the sea of crises many times. we all have. we all have, haven't we? yeah. it's a reminder that while we might see it every night, it remains for most of us... ..strange. mysterious. when you get up just a little bit closer, it's quite stunning, that magnificent desolation. and that's what it is. it is desolate. it seems lifeless. it is a void. and in that there is just such magnificence to behold. that was david sillito showing us around the moonwalkers, tom hanks's new show at london's lightroom. tom hanks look taken away when he was there, so enthusiastic. that final shot look _ was there, so enthusiastic. that final shot look like _ was there, so enthusiastic. “inst final shot look like something from a movie in itself. like et. it is seven minutes _ a movie in itself. like et. it is seven minutes to _ a movie in itself. like et. it is seven minutes to nine. - strictly returns to blackpool this weekend — so we've sent carol there too. how things calmed down a bit? it was all a bit busy early on —— have
