construction show. we are here to talk about housing off the back of the news that the prime minister wa nts the news that the prime minister wants us to build more social housing. in sport: who do you need on your side when you are heading out of the world cup? lionel messi scores a hat—trick, to rescue argentina and send buenos aires wild. it was the tennis match that redefined the image of

parts of the country, but conditions will improve. i have all the details in your full forecast coming up. good morning. first, our main story: the spanish prime minister will hold an emergency cabinet meeting this morning to discuss the catalan president's declaration of independence. last night, carles puigdemont said catalonia had won the right to be an independent republic. but he suspended the move for several weeks to allow for talks with the government in madrid, as andrew plant reports. confusion, consternation, and anger, too. this crowd of people eager for catalonia to separate from spain watching as their leader first declared independence and then delayed taking any action. translation: the government and myself propose that this parliament suspends the effects of the independence declaration in order to establish dialogue, without which we cannot reach a solution. for many, it was a disappointing end to almost two weeks of turmoil, that started with a referendum and scenes of police brutality, as spain's central government declared the vote illegal. their patience with catalonia's separate regional government now clearly wearing thin. translation: the speech the president gave is that of a person who doesn't know where he is, where he's going, or who he wants to go there with. the government can't accept the validity given to the catalan referendum law, because it was ruled illegal by the spanish constitutional court. so what next for spain? the leader of catalonia's regional assembly has disappointed many supporters, who wanted an unequivocal declaration of independence. meanwhile, spain's prime minister has called an extraordinary cabinet meeting to work out a way forward, on an issue where it is increasingly hard to see where any common ground can ever be found. andrew plant, bbc news. our europe correspondent gavin lee joins us from barcelona this morning. thank you very much for talking to us on thank you very much for talking to us on the programme. what is the feeling there this morning and overnight as to what is happening in spain at the moment? do you know, i watched yesterday, i was watching from above, tens of thousands of people under ba rcelona's from above, tens of thousands of people under barcelona's at the —— monument, and many of them voted for independence, and wanted to see ca rles independence, and wanted to see carles puigdemont, the president, say there will be independence. a bizarre moment when they started to roar and cheer when they thought they had said it. and this is a thing. the language was unclear. they said we have signed this independence document, and they went on to say it is suspended for the moment. i think ultimately there we re moment. i think ultimately there were those people on one side who came out disappointed. they weren't angry, actually. many have said that they have more attention than ever before in terms of putting catalonia on the map. some saying that he has lost the moment and might get arrested for sedition. for madrid, that meeting comes at about two hours‘ time, and we heard from the deputy prime minister. saying that effectively this man is leader does not know where he is going, and there will be no negotiation in future but we have to wait for the formal confirmation of how the nation will react when mariano rajoy speaks in about three hours‘ time. just after 7:00am this morning, we will be speaking to people on both sides of the debate about their reaction to the announcement. that is at 7:10am. the former us president barack obama and his wife michelle have said they are disgusted by the allegations against the hollywood film producer, and high—profile democrat supporter, harvey weinstein. the actresses angelina jolie and gwyneth paltrow have joined the growing number of women who have claimed they were sexually harassed by him. mr weinstein has denied the allegations. our correspondent david willis has more. it is great to be making movies in england... to the growing list of hollywood a listers who harvey weinstein stands accused of sexually harassing or assaulting, at heather graham. she says he propositioned her, albeit indirectly, during a meeting in his office. a few years after that, a former finalist in the miss italy contest went to the police claiming harvey weinstein had sexually assaulted her. she wore a recording device to their next meeting, and the interaction makes for uncomfortable listening. three women have now accused harvey weinstein of rape, an accusation he unequivocally denies, and some of hollywood‘s biggest names are separately accusing him of unwanted advances. among them, gwyneth poulter, angelina jolie, ashley judd, mira sorvino and rosanna arquette. we went to his office and we had a great conversation about his current film... this actress and writer recalled pitching a screenplay to harvey weinstein in 2008. after about 30 minutes he asked to excuse himself and go to the bathroom. he returned in nothing but a rope, with the front open, and he was buck naked. weinstein's wife, the british designer georgina chaplain, announced last night she was leaving him in the light of the allegations. as that statement was being released, reports emerged that mr wines dean was making a departure of his own, to europe, on a private plane. it is thought he plans to undergo treatment for sex addiction, in the hope of one—day resurrection his hollywood career. at least 15 people are known to have died in wildfires that have spread through northern california‘s wine region. a state of emergency was declared in the area, and thousands have been left homeless. more than 150 people reported to be missing. winds have now eased, helping to bring the fires under control. the biggest analysis of childhood obesity ever carried out has concluded that children across the world are getting fatter. the world health organisation has warned the number of obese children and teenagers could overtake those classed as underweight in just five years. one in ten children in the uk is classed as obese. a plan to make the uk the safest place in the world to use the internet is being unveiled today. the government‘s internet safety strategy will include new measures to tackle online abuse and make children safer on social media sites. here is our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones. lego life, a website where children can lego life, a website where children ca n safely lego life, a website where children can safely meet and share what they have built. the government says this is an example of how to build a safe internet experience and it wants other tech firms to act to protect users young and old from harm. the internet safety strategy calls for a new code, where social media firms agree to work together against bullying and abuse. attacks on the internet industry to fund a campaign, and an annual report where firms reveal what progress they have made in tackling abuse —— tax. children‘s charities have been consulted about the strategy. they say pa rents consulted about the strategy. they say parents need more help from the technology industry. what we find is that there are being overwhelmed with information. they are getting loads of information, but what they are not getting is help when something goes wrong. and that is really, really important when you think that most children get a mobile phone by the time they are eight years old. this is something that parents of even very young children are having to try and deal with. facebook says it is already working with the government to make the online world safer. but the question now is whether the uk can in pose a new code on powerful globalfirms. nearly 30 years after concerns were first raised about salmonella in eggs, pregnant women, small children and vulnerable older people are being advised they can once again eat soft—boiled or runny eggs. the food standards agency says lion mark eggs produced in the uk are now free of salmonella. the advice comes after a 20—year vaccination programme and improvements to animal welfare. our health correspondent dominic hughes has more. an egg for breakfast — tasty, nutritious, full of vitamins, and cheap. but, nearly 30 years ago, a scare over salmonella in eggs meant vulnerable groups, like pregnant women and small children, were advised to avoid having them runny. now, the eggs produced by chickens like these are being declared safe. a massive salmonella vaccination program, and improvements to animal welfare, has all but eradicated salmonella from the uk flock. the red lion mark a guarantee that eggs are now safe to eat, no matter how they are cooked. we‘re now saying, if it‘s a british lion egg, you‘re safe to do that. the risk of salmonella is now so low, you needn‘t worry. and that‘s true whether you‘re a fit, healthy adult, or whether you‘re pregnant or elderly, or young. the british appetite for eggs has been growing. last year, british hens laid more than 10,000 million eggs. on average, we consumed more than 3a million eggs every day. and they are good for you. packed full of vitamin d, protein and valuable omega—3 fatty acids. official recognition for a salmonella free flock is good for producers, and for all of us, as consumers. the health benefits of eggs can now be enjoyed by young and old alike, free from any fear that salmonella is a risk. dominic hughes, bbc news. shocking cctv footage of an empty pram being dragged across a train platform have been released by the rail safety and standards board. the rssb hopes the footage comes as a warning to parents and carers to keep tight hold of prams while waiting as train stations. the buggy, which was luckily empty, was sucked across the platform by a freight train‘s slipstream as it went past. just that the top of the picture you may be able to see there is a mother holding the baby, but she was not holding the baby, but she was not holding the baby, but she was not holding the pram, because she is obviously doing things with both hands, and she had not put the brake on. they are saying either hold on to it or keep the brake on, because we never want to see a video like that with anybody in it. and if you we re that with anybody in it. and if you were not traumatised enough... scared of heights? this may not be one for you. a tourist park in northern china has designed a glass—bottomed walkway that uses special effects to make the panels appear to crack, at over 3,800 feet high. not everyone knows it is a trick, though. this footage shows one terrified tour guide wobbling and crawling on the walkway as soon as he sees what‘s happening. the park has apologised for giving him such a shock. that is genius. it is so my kind of prank. you have to be cruel to enjoy that. that says it all, doesn't it? you are nervy anyway... i don‘t like that. i love it! kat. and he has no idea it was going to happen. it makes me want tojust curl up. idea it was going to happen. it makes me want to just curl up. there isa makes me want to just curl up. there is a difference between a prank and thinking you are going to die. is a difference between a prank and thinking you are going to diem is a difference between a prank and thinking you are going to die. it is so thinking you are going to die. it is so awful. my palms sweating. imagine what your heart rate would do. that poon what your heart rate would do. that poor, poor man. and we are looking at a time when at some point yesterday they could have been a world cup without the runners—up from the last world cup and the great lionel messi. that would have been terrible. but it turned out ok in the end. argentina were a goal down to ecuador afterjust 37 seconds, and they were heading out of the world cup, before lionel messi came to the rescue, scoring a hat—trick and sending them to russia. it was looking shaky for the european champions, portugal, but they made it straight through to the finals with victory over switzerland. the netherlands are out, though. down and out in china — kyle edmund is still looking for a first win over a top—ten player, as he slips to defeat to the world number five, marin cilic, at the shanghai masters. aljaz bedene, though, is into round two. and, a year after serving a ban for showing a lack of effort in shanghai, nick kyrgios walked off court after losing the first set of his match against stevejohnson. he claims he was suffering from a stomach bug. a p pa re ntly apparently he had been heard disagreeing with lots of the linesman‘s calls, and saying if i lose the first set i am off here. he later went on to say the reason i behave like that was because i had a stomach bog. —— stomach bug. he apologises after almost every tournament. the trouble is, he is really talented. he obviously hasn't he is going on he needs to get hold of. —— has some demons going on. it hasn‘t, but i‘m sure a few people are in bed not wanting to leave the comfort. rain pelting down in some western areas. windy as well. let me show you some of the wettest spots. northwest england and north—western parts of wales. up to 100 millimetres of rain, possibly more, which could cause disruption and minor flooding. which could cause disruption and minorflooding. things which could cause disruption and minor flooding. things will improve later in these areas. rain is also affecting southern scotland, south and east northern ireland and a few showers around the south and east of england and wales. a lot of dry weather and maybe some sunshine. the rain is all going to shift further south. north—western parts of wales, north—west england and southern scotland, conditions will improve. it does mean the rain will be with you for the evening rush—hour in south—west england. turning wetter around the channel islands and parts of the midlands. much of wales will turn more dry. the south and east, still a few showers. sunshine at times. some will stay dry. a much better prospect to finish the day across northern england. scotland, northern ireland, sunshine and showers through the afternoon and in the evening. some will be heavy and thundery. into this evening and the first part of the night, rainfall time in the south—east. that clears. a couple of showers in the northern england and parts of scotland. here, temperatures about 6—7 degrees. further south we could see temperatures with lighter winds. about 3—4 celsius. tomorrow, fresher than this morning, but it will be drier and brighter. lots of sunshine around. more cloud across north—west scotland. a few showers which will merge into longer spells. but a pleasa nt merge into longer spells. but a pleasant day for most of us. even though we start on the fresh note it should be warm enough when the sun is out. then warmer air comes back oui’ is out. then warmer air comes back our way into friday. the low pressure is remnants of the hurricane. that goes to iceland but it helps drag up winds from the atlantic. back to plenty of cloud on friday. especially to the north and west. outbreaks of rain. maybe not as heavy as today, but not great in these areas with all of the rain at these areas with all of the rain at the moment. a bit of sunshine in the south and east. temperatures could get to about 20 degrees. into the weekend, we will have a bit more sunshine in eastern areas. you could get up to 23. always cooler to the north—west of scotland and maybe northern ireland, with the chance of a bit of rain into the weekend. certainly we are on the warmer side of autumn. back to you. it is the site we like! thanks very much. —— side. let‘s have a look at the front pages. the daily mail. harvey weinstein is on the front page of many other papers. three break claims, six harassment cases —— rape claims. angelina jolie and gwyneth paltrow are the latest to speak out. they ask why he got away with it. lord. also on the front of the daily mirror. to be clear, harvey weinstein has denied the rape allegations. it is also on the front of the telegraph. and the story down the bottom about made refusing to say whether she would vote leave now. —— may. that‘s also the guardian. they say she dodged the question on the brexit vote, saying she refused to say whether she would leave if a fresh referendum was held. a picture on the front page is regarding eggs. ido like on the front page is regarding eggs. i do like a dippy egg. the yoke has to be perfectly runny, the white stuff has to be firm. these are my rules and i think they are general rules. do you send back food? of course! you have seen how she orders her toast in the morning, right? another picture of gwyneth paltrow on the front page. and philip hammond refuses to budget for hard brexit. shall i say why i was talking about eggs? otherwise people will think it was just a random eggs? otherwise people will think it wasjust a random picture. it is now safe to eat soft—boiled eggs. there we re safe to eat soft—boiled eggs. there were concerns about salman lr. there‘s been a vaccination programme and it is now deemed safe that people who are vulnerable can now eat soft eggs. that‘s good news. it is good news. this is the article in the times that sparked the debate between us and —— as and the sports desk. it‘s about the announcement that the norwegian fa are going to pay their women‘s international team the same money as their men‘s team. it is widely welcomed. but matthew syed says that by subsidising women in this way you are entrenching this kind of subconscious bias, that women aren‘t as good as the men and can‘t do it themselves. he is talking about quotas and businesses thatis talking about quotas and businesses that is a unique and have this number of women on the board. he says things should be done by merit. i agree to to an extent. these women are working for the same company, doing the same job, are working for the same company, doing the samejob, why are working for the same company, doing the same job, why shouldn‘t they be paid the same? and the amount of money, the difference, wasn‘t huge. something like 50,000. we‘ve got to move on, but later i want to talk about cheating rows —— heating. it is that time of year. i don‘t turn the heating on! this is it. it's i don‘t turn the heating on! this is it. it‘s all about metabolism, apparently. we will discuss that later. he‘s the movie mogul credited with launching the careers of some of hollywood‘s most famous faces, but over the past few days producer harvey weinstein has faced accusations of decades of sexual harassment and assault. we‘rejoined now by e! news‘s chief correspondent melanie bromley, who can update us on the latest reaction in hollywood. good morning and thanks forjoining us. good morning and thanks forjoining us. a lot of the chatter round this has been the accusations are out there but not enough high profile actors are coming out and supporting those women who had said, look, this has happened for bob and this is changing now. it is definitely changing. yesterday we had some high profile actresses who came out and the older actresses came out and i think that led the charge. that was judi dench who released a statement and of course meryl streep. at this morning with the publication of the new yorker article which claims there are other accusations and three are of rape, which changed the kind of level of this seriousness of the story quite a lot. after that a lot more actors went on record, including a lot of hollywood men. it is believed that until these hollywood men... for it was actresses coming out, but for anyone to speak out publicly about whether 01’ to speak out publicly about whether or not... making accusations of sexual assault, but it is the hollywood men people were really waiting for. we had ben affleck, matt damon, george clooney. so things are changing. is there still a casting couch in hollywood? is this what this is leading up to? absolutely. there have been rumours of the casting couch in hollywood for decades and rumours of course about harvey weinstein as well. what happened obviously is that we have had women over the past five days going on record about that allegation. of course harvey weinstein is denying that anything happened. he admits that he has a bad temper and admits he has been misbehaving in some ways, but as far as the specific allegations, especially the ones about rape, he‘s denying those. lots coming about —— out about his personal life, his family life, his wife as well. that's right. georgina chapman, who has been married to for many years, they have two children together, she has announced this evening that she is now leaving him. she of course is the founder of the very successful fashion label and she says she feel sorry for any woman who has spoken on record. i can‘t kind of explain enough what happens to her in hollywood. this is a man who is responsible for so many a—listers‘ career. you only have to look at the oscars to see how many people who really have harvey weinstein to thank, whether it be helping to cast them or distribute theirfilms. helping to cast them or distribute their films. but now we know the dirty secrets going on behind the scenes, if these allegations are to be believed. thank you very much. that was about harvey weinstein. also on the programme today, we will have a closer look at the housing market after there are promises to fix it. steph is at a construction show. you usually have a hard hat on! good morning. yes, no hard hat, but! usually have a hard hat on! good morning. yes, no hard hat, but i am safe. fascinating to see all of these different construction exhibitions. this is the uk‘s egypt construction show. there is over 600 exhibitors. they make all sorts of different construction projects. we had bad news of course about the prime minister, to focus on building more homes. we have a property expert with us. good morning. tell us expert with us. good morning. tell us about it. good morning. e bit push continuing on house building. good news is it is right the spectrum. good news for first—time buyers. more regulation into the private market, good news for tenants. and more money going into council housing, which we almost haven't heard of for 20 years. hopefully this means we will get more homes for everybody and certainly on a council housing site that's where there will be changes most. thank you very much. more from me later. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i‘m sonja jessup. two 14—year—old boys have been charged with the murder of a

cathedral will go on display later this month. when the tyndale bible was published in 1526, it was the first time the new testament had appeared in english rather than latin. it was smuggled into england, butjust three copies survive today. it was considered dangerous to own and william tyndale became a wanted man. even to have it in your possession was a serious matter. to have published it was certainly i‘m afraid a burning matter and in watts should have been a safe house was discovered incarcerated and about 18 months later he was executed. travel now. on the tube, there‘s no circle line between edgware road and aldgate via embankment due to a signal failure. a water main has burst, affecting the north circular. this is how it looks in new southgate — one lane is closed westbound

from spain. barack and michelle obama say they‘re disgusted by reports the hollywood producer harvey weinstein abused women. mr weinstein was a major donor to the democratic party. he has been accused

left homeless. more than 150 people reported to be missing. winds have now eased, helping to bring the fires under control. the biggest analysis of childhood obesity ever carried out has concluded that children across the world are getting fatter. the world health organisation has warned the number of obese children and teenagers could overtake those classed as underweight in just five years. one in ten children in the uk is classed as obese. a plan to make the uk the safest place in the world to use the internet is being unveiled by the government today. among the ideas is to ask social media sites such as facebook and twitter to pay a tax to help fund educational campaigns about internet abuse. the government also wants a code of practice to make sure providers offer adequate online safety. eggs stamped with the british lion mark have been declared free from salmonella. for the past 30 years, pregnant women, the elderly and small children have been advised to avoid eating raw or runny eggs. the advice from the food standards agency comes after a 20 year vaccination programme and improvements to animal welfare. a previously lost portrait by leonardo da vinci is about to go on sale in new york. it‘s the last one still in private hands and it could be yours if you have a spare 100 million dollars or so lying around. tim allman has more. it‘s been described as the last da vinci. salvator mundi, saviour of the world, a portrait of christ, dating to around 1500. it was only rediscovered 12 years ago when it was sold at auction, initially believed to be a copy. the new buyers started the restoration process, and once the old paint layers began to come off the repaint layers, you could see the original quality. and it was at that point that it was beginning to be understood that it really might be leonardo‘s lost original. so what price do you put on genius? the market will decide, but it‘s around $100 million is an estimate. all will be revealed next month, when the auction takes place in new york. soon, the last da vinci will have a new home. tim allman, bbc news. is that to your taste? would you have that hanging up in your living room? the music, or the portrait? either? no. you could tell everyone it was a leonardo da vinci, but not my cup of tea, that particular one. here is a question i have always wa nted here is a question i have always wanted to ask you. have you ever seen wanted to ask you. have you ever seen an wanted to ask you. have you ever seen an alpine orangutan? no, i have not. that's good, because there is only one in the world —— albino. five—year—old alba was rescued from captivity and has been nursed back to health and our lives as free as possible in a rehab centre. it is a sad story come good. she can never be released into the wild because of her white fur. she also has hearing and sight lines, which would make her a target for poachers. she seems happy. the only one in the whole world. five years old, sweetheart. at least she is happy now. looks like she is having a nice lunch as well. what would be a celebratory lunch for the argentinians? properly a nice big stake. they like their beef, so i imagine that is what they would have after that, and there are pictures of buenos aires celebrating in argentina finally qualified for the world cup. they had looked to be heading out. after conceding to ecuador inside the opening minute, but three from messi did the job. the two—time winners of the world cup are heading to russia next summer. wild celebrations on the pitch, and back home in buenos aires. european champions portugal will also be in russia next summer, a 2—0 win over switzerland enough to take them through as group winners. the swiss settle for a play—off spot, where they could face northern ireland or the republic of ireland. the netherlands will miss out altogether. they needed a massive seven—goal win over sweden to have any chance of making the world cup. but they could only manage a 2—0 win at home, arjen robben with both goals. he announced his retirement from international football after the match. syria‘s hopes of reaching the tournament next summer are over, after defeat to australia. it was 1—1 after the first leg, and fans were out in force in damascus watching on tv, hoping for a result in sydney. but an extra—time header from tim cahill saw the socceroos win 2—1 on the night, and progress 3—2 on aggregate to the final qualifying tie. liverpool have been dealt a big blow with the news that a key player, sadio mane, could be out for up to six weeks with a hamstring injury. the forward has scored three goals in five league appearances this season, is set to miss the games against manchester united and tottenham, plus both champions league group fixtures against maribor. mane picked up the injury on international duty with senegal. the premier league has been testing a new video assistant refereeing system to be introduced next year. they recreated their own version of maradona‘s ‘hand of god‘ goal from the 1986 world cup to demonstrate the technology at st george‘s park. the video assistant referee system is due to be used in england for the first time in january next year for selected matches. if we harness the advantages of this system, those errors were a referee might be caught out of position, can‘t quite see anything clearly but it is really evident for a 32nd check the video, that allows us to get that decision right, and football benefits. there will be those who say it is not a good idea. on the tennis. there was a good win for aljaz bedene at the shanghai masters. he beat the italian paolo lorenzi in straight sets to reach the second round. it wasn‘t such a good day for fellow brit kyle edmund. his search for a first win over a top—ten—ranked player continues, after he slipped to defeat to world number five and wimbledon runner—up marin cilic. a year after serving a ban for showing a lack of effort in shanghai, kyrgios retired after losing the first set of his match against stevejohnson, in an apparent protest at the officiating. kyrgios claimed he had a stomach problem, but was apparently heard to say that he would quit if he lost the first set. we started the bulletin with news of teams that have qualified for the world cup, but let‘s leave you with this clip of the famous icelandic commentator haukur hardarson describing the moment his nation secured their place in russia on monday. enjoy. speaks jubilant icelandic. they have the thunderclap, and they have the commentator, who is obviously a legend. very excited. you are just asking the population, 340,000. it is the smallest world cup nation. he will commentator world cup, and i will tune in for that alone. the bbc should be worried! how do you like your eggs, kat, you have a rather yolky coloured top. thank you, being compared to an ad on television, thatis compared to an ad on television, that is lovely! —— egg. a poached 999 that is lovely! —— egg. a poached egg all the way, definitely a poached egg, but i will take a dippy egg. you look great! nearly 30 years since the salmonella scare, runny eggs with the lion mark on them have been declared safe for pregnant women and young children. joining us now is guy poppy who is the chief scientific advisor at the food standards agency. why are eggs safer now? what has happened? during the 30 years since the salminen a la outbreak in the 198os,, the salminen a la outbreak in the 1980s,, egg producers and the whole process from the farm right through to the fork have worked hard. it is so to the fork have worked hard. it is so low now that we have been able to change our advice. and what are the... in terms of those challenges of getting food safety advice across to the public, obviously it is on the front page of the papers this morning and we are talking about it on breakfast and lots of people will be discussing this this morning, do you think people actually listen to advice? i think this is a good example. this is a very good news story. in the 19805 more than 500,000 people were affected by a egg5 500,000 people were affected by a eggs and chicken with salmonella, and hard work by a whole range of people have enabled the situation to become much better. and therefore, in this particular case, rather than us in this particular case, rather than u5 warning people and saying to people don‘t do this, don‘t do that, we are now beginning to offer the advice to say that it is now much safer to eat egg5 when they are not fully cooked, because of the efforts made by egg producers who can put the lion mark on their eggs. and this is even for pregnant women, but there are some foods that pregnant women should still avoid, like raw meat, for example. is that still the ca5e? meat, for example. is that still the case? pregnant women are more vulnerable to the consequences of food poisoning than other people so any food product which has a higher ri5k any food product which has a higher risk associated with it, that advice would still be to reduce your exposure to that. what is the current advice for how many egg5 exposure to that. what is the current advice for how many eggs one should be eating during a day?|j mean, that is an interesting question. i ask purely for myself! a5 question. i ask purely for myself! as people know, egg5 question. i ask purely for myself! as people know, eggs are an incredible food in terms of vitamin danda incredible food in terms of vitamin d and a whole range of nutrients and the advice is always to have a mixed and balanced diet, is good for everyone. a5 to the precise amounts, there are debates around the cholesterol in eggs, and the amount it contributes to your diet. it is not appropriate to say don‘t eat more or less than a certain number. they are an important part of a mixed and balanced diet. but you can have egg5 every day? mixed and balanced diet. but you can have eggs every day? if you want, ye5. have eggs every day? if you want, yes. that's it, we can go for it! what about the fact that... we talk about this being a long process, with salmonella, a few years now. do you think that is still affecting what people eat with regards to egg5 now? i think it could, what people eat with regards to egg5 now? ithink it could, because obviously in the 19805 the advice was that we should avoid eating egg5 u nless was that we should avoid eating egg5 unless they are fully cooked. what i 5uppo5e unless they are fully cooked. what i suppose hopefully i can rea55ure people about is that an independent expert group called the advisory committee on the microbiological safety of foods have assessed all the evidence, and their recommendation for the food standards agency is that the risk is so standards agency is that the risk is so low that we can change our advice. we have worked with consumer groups and across departments in a 12 week exercise to come to this final decision we are announcing today. how do you like your eggs, by the way? naga says she likes them a little bit runny but the whites mu5t be fully cooked. it is a little bit early for me to be having eggs, but ido like early for me to be having eggs, but i do like them 5lightly runny, yes. i don‘t think many people would disagree that that is how to have your eggs. i know that george riley on radio 5 does not like any movement in his egg! the spanish government will hold an emergency meeting after the catalan president suspended the declaration of independence. barack obama and his wife said they are di5gu5ted barack obama and his wife said they are disgusted by allegations against harvey weinstein, the hollywood producer. we‘ve got to ask matt. he had pastrie5 yesterday. somebody brought them in! but not this morning. how do you like your eggs? i like them running, at the white has to be solid. how is the weather looking? isa how is the weather looking? is a 5oggy? vary. a horrible start to wednesday morning for quite a few. but despair, the whole day will not a write—off. the wettest weather in the west. some of the wettest 5pots today will be in north—west england and also northwest wale5, especially the cumbrian fell5 and snowdonia. we could see up to four inches of rainfall, which could cause some minor flooding. inches of rainfall, which could cause some minorflooding. even in the5e cause some minorflooding. even in these areas we have 5un5hine before these areas we have 5un5hine before the day is out. let‘5 these areas we have 5un5hine before the day is out. let‘s take you through the whole day. in north—west england and northwest wale5 through the whole day. in north—west england and northwest wales and 5outhern scotland it is wet. a couple of showers expected through the morning rush—hour, especially in the morning rush—hour, especially in the south and east. the main bulk of rain will be further south and east, introducing sunny conditions to the north. a little bit wetter by the time we get to the afternoon and evening. still a lot of dry weather to south—east england and east anglia through this afternoon. 18 celsius could be achieved in the 5un5hine. a couple of showers expected. the improvement to end the day in western wale5 expected. the improvement to end the day in western wales and much of northern england, away from east and south yorkshire, where it will still be raining. showers coming with the 5un5hine in northern ireland and portland in the afternoon. some could be heavy and thundery. temperatures not bad with the 5un5hine. through the night tho5e temperatures will drop markedly. rainfora time temperatures will drop markedly. rain for a time in the south—east. showers throughout the night in scotland. a fresh night to come tonight compared with what has gone. tomorrow morning temperatures in rural areas could be about 4—5 celsius. but a much brighter start of the day. thursday for many will be dry with sunny 5kies. more cloud into the west later. always the chance for a few showers in scotland. some will merge into longer spell5 later. the wind is generally lighter. when the sun is with you it should be fairly pleasant. tho5e wing5 go into a more south—westerly direction into friday. this low pressure is a remnant of the hurricane, pushing towards iceland. a weatherfront will bring rain to parts of western scotland, northern ireland, and west wale5. hopefully not as heavy as today. with the winds we have a bit of warmth, even though we have the cloud it will be muggy. temperatures could get up to 19— 20 in eastern areas. a glimpse into the weekend. things could warm up even more in eastern wale5, eastern england. any 5un5hine eastern wale5, eastern england. any sunshine and you won‘t need the 5un5hine to see it, it will get up to about 23 celsius. more cloud at time5 to about 23 celsius. more cloud at times and occasional rain. but it certainly isn‘t a washout. certainly on the warmer side of autumn at the moment. thank you. look5 lovely! yolky matt. will you stop talking about eggs? we‘re taking a closer look at housing this morning after theresa may‘5 promise to build 5,000 new council houses every year for the next five years. steph is at the biggest gathering of construction profession5al5 in the uk. she has got heard —— her digger out. this is what you would normally 5ee ona this is what you would normally 5ee on a construction site. here, this i5 on a construction site. here, this is the biggest construction show in the uk where all of the different exhibitors, something like 600 of them, are showing off their busine55e5. it has been tough over the last ten years or so. but they have some good news, as last week the prime minister and announced more money for building new homes. we‘ve got james here. more money for building new homes. we‘ve gotjame5 here. good morning. tell us about what we heard. what's important is the prime minister in a speech last week acknowledged that we have a housing crisis and we haven‘t been building houses for too long. she announced £2 billion of funding to fund additional homes. that is to be welcomed. something people have been asking for for a long time, to have the funds available to offer to the market. she also announced funding of £10 billion for the help to buy scheme, which is important, that we have a functional housing market with offers for those looking to rent and buy. it was an acknowledged on the government that we haven‘t been building enough homes for too long. the government says we need about 225,002 275,000 a year. so it‘s a step in the right direction. often when i talk about the housing shortage a lot of people say, there are more than 70 homes around, why can‘t we use them? are more than 70 homes around, why can't we use them? at the moment we know that in england alone we are —— have about 1.2 million people on council waiting lists. they stopped giving grand funding to build genuinely affordable homes. they have tried to plug that by building homes, including for outright sale, but it‘s not enough, which is why the £2 billion the prime minister announced is so welcome. interesting. it is so much for your time. it does leave the question of how we are going to build all of these homes, because often construction can take a lot of time. i want to talk about modular homes. tim‘s company makes this. explain what a modular home is. it's essentially a home that is put together from component parts. essentially a home that is put togetherfrom component parts. quite often they are made offsite in a factory. so something like your average home, how long would it take to make and how long would it take to make and how long would it take to put together? if we take the product we are making and putting the market, we are based in norfolk, we can build in ourfactory eight two 3—bedroom home in a few days and they came top in a few days. a lot of people will ask what that means for quality. if it takes a lot longer than that normally to build a home, is this going to be good enough? yes. quality is something you can control very well in a factory. one of the key things i would say about the quality of modular homes is that art is like a cardboard box. you bang one of our houses, it is made of recyclable glass and is made of common —— and feels like concrete. have sales been increasing? has been very good show. we just increasing? has been very good show. wejust came increasing? has been very good show. we just came to the end of our first day yesterday and we‘ve had interest from councils, housing associations, indeed lots of people, even overseas. thank you for your time. really interesting to see those different businesses on show, because there‘s a lot of innovation going on. more from me and little bit later. and ijust been told i will get my hands on the keys of a buggy! so i can show you as much as ican buggy! so i can show you as much as i can later. they are dangerous! be careful. building a house in a few days. two gaze! who knew? more from steph later. it was called the ‘battle of the sexes‘, a tennis match like no other. bobby riggs, a former wimbledon tennis champion, took on the greatest female player of the time to prove equality in sport could never happen. however, he lost the match, and 44 years on, a film based on that encounter has been made. our correspondent david sillito met the woman at the centre of it all, billie—jean king. how about this? man versus woman. male chauvinist pigs versus hairy legged feminists. no offence. you're still a feminist, right? billie—jean king, the bgreatest female tennis player of her generation. i like pressure. i‘m built for that kind of match. i was always built for that kind of match. this match is for all the guys around the world who feel, as i do, the male is king, the male is supreme. bobby riggs, ageing tennis champion and self—confessed chauvinist pig. the battle of the sexes, one of the most extraordinairy matches in the history of tennis. 90 million people watching. billie—jean, a pleasure to meet you. 44 years later, i met the real billie—jean, to see what she thought of seeing her life turned into a movie. watching that film for the first time, comes to an end — what‘s going through your mind? wow, did that really happen? film reel: despite all the bravado, riggs has been working out every evening. this is the real bobby riggs. he was a hustler. he wanted to make some money. but for billie—jean, this was more than just a tennis match. it represents so much. it represents equality. it represents freedom. and the woman who saw it have come up to me, and it empowered them and gave themself confidence. and the men come up to me, and they go — they‘re the ones who are very emotional. sometimes they have tears in their eyes and say, "i have a daughter, now, and that absolutely changed my whole outlook on how i was going to raise my children." film reel: for the first time, wimbledon met little miss chubby legs with the owl—like glasses. it was a very different era. billie—jean was, at the time, fighting for fair treatment for female players. but what did she really think of bobby riggs? what makes you think that i won't be able to psych you out of the match? what makes you think that? i thought he was adorable, and i thought he was crazy, and a great promoter. adorable? he was outrageous! of course he was outrageous, but myjob was to beat him, and stop all that. so ijust let him go. let him go, he‘s not going to change. i‘m not going to change bobby riggs. let him be. here's a beautiful lollypop for billie—jean. i figure she's going to be a real sucker for my lob. the film tells the story of the match, billie—jean‘s victory, and all the off—camera personal drama. but there was, in real life, a fascinating final scene. i stayed in touch with him, and the night before he died i had a great discussion with him and he finally understood it was about history. because i kept saying "bobby, it‘s about history," and he‘d say "no, it‘s about money." and that night he said "we did make a difference, didn‘t we?" and i said "yes, you did make a difference, and i am so happy that we have stayed in touch and you‘re my friend and i love you." and he told me that he loved me and the next day he passed away. a good film. it was a great sporting event. that was david sillito speaking to billiejean king. and battle of the sexes is out on 24th november. you‘re watching breakfast. still to come this morning: we‘ll welcome a best—selling author whose book‘s been turned into a hollywood film. you don‘t want to walk off with your pa rents you don‘t want to walk off with your parents because you are not cool. but you are cool. yes, but most parents aren't. neither are these parents. r.j palacio will be here later to talk about her debut novel, ‘wonder‘. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i‘m sonja jessup. two 14—year—old boys have been charged with the murder of a teenager,

butjust three copies survive today. it was considered dangerous to own and william tyndale became a wanted man. even to have it in your possession was a serious matter. to have published it was certainly i‘m afraid a burning matter and he was hunted down and in what should have been a safe house he was discovered, incarcerated and about 18 months later he was executed. travel now. on the

the afternoon. the weekend really is looking rather pleasant. there is cloud around for saturday. we‘ll see some breaks in it. the temperature warm for sunday. temperatures could get up into the low 205. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and naga munchetty. the spanish government will hold an emergency meeting this morning after catalonia‘s president signed a declaration of independence. he says he will delay breaking away from spain, so that talks can be held, but the madrid government has rejected negotiations. good morning, it is wednesday 11 october. also this morning: angelina jolie and gwyneth paltrowjoin the growing list of women accusing the hollywood producer harvey weinstein of sexual harassment. he denies three other allegations of rape. a code of conduct for social media, and an industry—funded awareness campaign — two ideas the government hopes will make uk the safest place in the world to use the internet. good morning from the uk‘s biggest construction show. we are here to talk about housing, as the prime minister announced last week there will be more money to build new homes. in sport: who do you need on your side when you are heading out of the world cup? lionel messi scores a hat—trick, to rescue argentina and send buenos aires wild. and matt has the weather. good morning. well, it is a soaking start to wednesday for parts of scotland, northern ireland, north—west england and north wales but conditions were —— will improve. i will have more details in 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story: the spanish prime minister will hold an emergency cabinet meeting this morning to discuss the catalan president‘s declaration of independence. last night, carles puigdemont said catalonia had won the right to be an independent republic. but he suspended the move for several weeks to allow for talks with the government in madrid, as andrew plant reports. confusion, consternation, and anger, too. this crowd of people, eager for catalonia to separate from spain, watching as their leader first declared independence, and then delayed taking any action. translation: the government and myself propose that this parliament suspends the effects of the independence declaration in order to establish dialogue, without which we cannot reach a solution. for many, it was a disappointing end to almost two weeks of turmoil, that started with a referendum and scenes of police brutality, as spain‘s central government declared the vote illegal. their patience with catalonia‘s separate regional government now clearly wearing thin. translation: the speech the president gave is that of a person who doesn‘t know where he is, where he‘s going, or who he wants to go there with. the government can‘t accept the validity given to the catalan referendum law, because it was ruled illegal by the spanish constitutional court. so what next for spain? the leader of catalonia‘s regional assembly has disappointed many supporters, who wanted an unequivocal declaration of independence. meanwhile, spain‘s prime minister has called an extraordinary cabinet meeting to work out a way forward, on an issue where it is increasingly hard to see where any common ground can ever be found. andrew plant, bbc news. in a few minutes we‘ll be speaking to people on both sides of the debate about their reaction to the announcement. the former us president barack obama and his wife, michelle, have said they are disgusted by the allegations against the hollywood film producer, and high—profile democrat supporter, harvey weinstein. the actresses angelina jolie and gwyneth paltrow have joined the growing number of women who have claimed they were sexually harassed by him. it‘s great to be making movies in england... to the growing list of hollywood a—listers who harvey weinstein stands accused of sexually harassing or assaulting, add heather graham. she says he propositioned her, albeit indirectly, during a meeting in his office. a few years after that, ambra battilana gutierrez, a former finalist in the miss italy contest, went to the police claiming harvey weinstein had sexually assaulted her. she wore a recording device to their next meeting, and the interaction makes for uncomfortable listening. three women have now accused harvey weinstein of rape, an accusation he unequivocally denies, and some of hollywood‘s biggest names are separately accusing him of unwanted advances — among them gwyneth paltrow, angelina jolie, ashleyjudd, mira sorvino, and rosanna arquette. we went to his office, and we had a great conversation about his current film... the former actress and writer louisette geiss recalled pitching a screenplay to harvey weinstein in 2008. after about 30 minutes, he asked to excuse himself and go to the bathroom. he returned in nothing but a robe, with the front open, and he was buck naked. weinstein‘s wife, the british designer georgina chapman, announced last night she was leaving him, in the light of the allegations. as that statement was being released, reports emerged that mr weinstein was making a departure of his own, to europe, on a private plane. it is thought he plans to undergo treatment for sex addiction, in the hope of one day resurrecting his hollywood career. at least 15 people are known to have died in wildfires that have spread through northern california‘s wine region. a state of emergency was declared in the area, and thousands have been left homeless. more than 150 people reported to be missing. winds have now eased, helping to bring the fires under control. the biggest analysis of childhood obesity ever carried out has concluded that children across the world are getting fatter. the world health organisation has warned the number of obese children and teenagers could overtake those classed as underweight in just five years. one in ten children in the uk is classed as obese. a plan to make the uk the safest place in the world to use the internet is being unveiled today. the government‘s internet safety strategy will include new measures to tackle online abuse and make children safer on social media sites. here is our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones. nearly 30 years after concerns were first raised about salmonella in eggs, pregnant women, small children and vulnerable older people are being advised they can once again eat soft—boiled or runny eggs. the food standards agency says lion mark eggs, produced in the uk, are now free of salmonella. the advice comes after a 20—year vaccination programme and improvements to animal welfare. our health correspondent dominic hughes has more. an egg for breakfast — tasty, nutritious, full of vitamins, and cheap. but, nearly 30 years ago, a scare over salmonella in eggs meant vulnerable groups, like pregnant women and small children, were advised to avoid having them runny. now, the eggs produced by chickens like these are being declared safe. a massive salmonella vaccination program, and improvements to animal welfare, has all but eradicated salmonella from the uk flock. the red lion mark a guarantee that eggs are now safe to eat, no matter how they are cooked. we‘re now saying, if it‘s a british lion egg, you‘re safe to do that. the risk of salmonella is now so low, you needn‘t worry. and that‘s true whether you‘re a fit, healthy adult, or whether you‘re pregnant or elderly, or young. the british appetite for eggs has been growing. last year, british hens laid more than 10,000 million eggs. on average, we consume more than 34 million eggs every day. and they are good for you, packed full of vitamin d, protein, and valuable omega—3 fatty acids. official recognition for a salmonella—free flock is good for producers, and for all of us, as consumers. the health benefits of eggs can now be enjoyed by young and old alike, free from any fear that salmonella is a risk. dominic hughes, bbc news. shocking cctv footage of an empty pram being dragged across a train platform have been released by the rail safety and standards board. the rssb hopes the footage comes as a warning to parents and carers to keep tight hold of prams while waiting as train stations. the buggy, which was luckily empty, was sucked across the platform by a freight train‘s slipstream as it went past. it is horrible to watch, isn‘t it? it is horrible to watch, isn‘t it? it is horrible to watch, isn‘t it? it is the power of that slipstream. it is the power of that slipstream. it is the power of that slipstream. it is quite unbelievable. anyway, no one was hurt, just the buggy. the baby was safe in her mum‘s arms. spain is going through its worst political crisis in decades. later today, the country‘s prime minister will hold an emergency meeting to discuss the catalan president‘s declaration of independence. carles puigdemont has suspended the announcement to allow time for talks with madrid. joining us now from barcelona is adria alsina, a member of the catalan national assembly, an organisation that strives towards independence, and toni roldan, a barcelona mp who sits in the spanish parliament for the ciudadanos party. thank you very much, both of you, for joining thank you very much, both of you, forjoining us this morning. let‘s just start with you. tell us what the feeling was like in barcelona after the president of catalonia‘s speech. it is pretty obvious that at the very beginning, right after hearing the suspension of the declaration, there was a feeling of disappointment in the streets. people were probably feeling itjust a little bit more but at the same timei a little bit more but at the same time i think it was quickly understood that suspending the declaration was the best thing to do, after we saw the calls from people like donald tusk, especially, the president of the european council, who practically begged ca rles council, who practically begged carles puigdemont not to do any move that would be impossible to undo, in order to foster the dialogue with the spanish government. and tell us your reaction. you were in madrid. tell us your reaction to the comments via carles puigdemont, and you are catalan, yet you are not in favour of independence. yes. those people exist, despite the movement not wanting to admit it, there are millions of cattle and so what are the unionists, and they want to not build more borders. my reaction was the reaction of many people and if you look at any newspaper in spain today you would have the same reaction. it is blackmail which is a bit more postponed, brought by this pro— independence movement towards independence, without a majority, without a legal vote, without any legal basis to do so. and they decided to stop it for two days, and see, still with the threat a few days ahead, but i don‘t see any consistent move towards moving back to the constitutional framework, to debating anything which is viable to do for the spanish government. ok, then what do you think the answer is to this? there are obviously people who would like to see a referendum, to see a decision made one central. do you think that is at all possible? look at the start with, i don‘t think... probably you know it better than i do in the uk that sometimes referendums may not be the best solution to problems. that is on the one hand. on the other, the spanish constitution does allow for a referendum. but still we have many ways the changed the constitution, and if not, you can also do something very easy, which is to call an election, a regional election, and you take it as a plebiscite as they did in 2015, the nationalist movement. they lost, but they continued ahead with this pro— independence movement. and we could do it again. we could do another election, where everyone can vote freely, where everyone can vote on the basis of a census, with an electoral board that is not i asked, thatis electoral board that is not i asked, that is not controlled by people like the anc or other independence people. and then we could see really what people actually think, not what the pro— independence narrative... if you like, all due respect, it is quite a populist narrative, it has managed to build. andrea, we know that president mariano rajoy is holding a meeting today with the cabinet. what are you hoping to hear from this meeting? well, first of all, let mejust from this meeting? well, first of all, let me just say that it is sunny, the people who actually celebrated the beating up of people last sunday are saying that they we re last sunday are saying that they were not enough democratic guarantees. yes, well, they celebrated the fact that there were no guarantees, because the spanish police went out and started beating up police went out and started beating up people. but that said, what i expect from mariano rajoy in a couple of hours is that he probably will not listen to the calls of... calling for dialogue from the international community, and as your guest is saying, he willjust insist on the spanish narrative, on the unionist narrative, that there is no legality, that the independent activists are controlling institutions. i find it activists are controlling institutions. ifind it sunny activists are controlling institutions. i find it sunny that we are being told that a pro— independence party did not wind the election in 2015, when there is an absolute majority of pro— independence parties in the catalan parliament. so what are they waiting for? we have just parliament. so what are they waiting for? we havejust heard how your guest there said, let‘s do another election. let‘s do another election which probably the pro— independence majority will be taken again. so would they accept independence than? i don‘t think so. so i don‘t really understand what the narrative is here. we are being told to go for another election, because the referendum did not have guarantees, because they didn‘t help us with the guarantees. they beat up people who are trying to put in some guarantees, and now they are actually for an election, when we have an election, we have a pro— independent parliament already. thank you very much for your time. the really interesting discussion. you‘re watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: the spanish government will hold an emergency meeting this morning after catalonia‘s president signed, then suspended a declaration of independence. former us president barack obama and his wife michelle said they are disgusted by the allegations against the hollywood producer harvey weinstein. here‘s matt with a look at this morning‘s weather. what‘s happening out there? you don‘t want that! sadly not. wet and windy for wednesday for some of us, especially in scotland, north—west england and wales. the commute won‘t be a great one. wettest of all around the cumbrian fells, parts of snowdonia. before the day is out you may have as much as 100 millimetres, four inches of rain. that will lead to minor flooding. the puddles elsewhere this morning. let‘s look at the bigger picture. southern scotland. rain moving across northern ireland. the odd shower pushing across the south and east of england. at here primarily dry until late in the day. notice the rain band is on the move. the northern half of the uk brightens up the sunshine and showers. the southern half gets wetter through the afternoon and evening. through the evening, the journey home will be wet for some in the south—west of england. northern and west wales turns dry. birmingham will have some rain and heavy bursts around the peak district and into parts of south and east yorkshire. only a few showers in east anglia. we could have up to 18 degrees. fresh air to the north. more dry weather through the afternoon and evening. a few showers in scotland and northern ireland. there could be heavy and sundry as well. the breeze will gradually ease through the day. still remaining blustery in parts of scotla nd still remaining blustery in parts of scotland through the night. that will feed on further showers. after initial rain, in east anglia and the south—east, that will clear. mist and fog here and there and much fresher night to come. temperatures in rural parts could be down to 4—5 degrees. tomorrow morning will be much cooler, but much brighter. a lot more sunshine around and for many it will be a lovely autumn day. dry and sunny spells. more cloud in the west. a few showers in scotland and in the north that will merge into longer spells of rain. by and large tomorrow will be a much better day. dry, brighter and large tomorrow will be a much better day. dry, brighterand not large tomorrow will be a much better day. dry, brighter and not feeling bad once you have the sunshine. windy again into friday, and weather fronts to the north and west remained like today. western scotland, northern ireland, north—west england more likely to see rain. further south and east couple of showers, but more brightness breaking through on what will be a generally cloudy day. feeling warm. temperatures about 19— 20. into the weekend things could turn warmer still. if you do have sunshine it could get to about 23 this weekend. always more cloud and cooler in north—west scotland and northern ireland. occasional rain. but not a washout by any means. of course i will keep you up dated. back to you. at least it improves! shall we have a look at the front pages? the daily mirror, lots of people going with this story about harvey weinstein. gwyneth paltrow and angelina for the movie angelina jolie. the movie boss tried it with us, they accuse him of sexual harassment. he has denied new allegations of rape. the sun goes on with the same story, saying the film boss allegedly groped gwyneth paltrow in an la suite and angelina jolie was harassed. the times has a picture of paltrow as well. she joins the accusers. the story on the front page is that the times says it would be irresponsible to spends taxpayers‘ money in preparation for and no deal. this is what philip hammond police. do you argue with your husband about the temperature in the home? yes. we debate, we don‘t argue. do you like it hot? a p pa re ntly do you like it hot? apparently it‘s all about metabolism. more we then turn up the thermostat behind the men‘s back. do you do that? it's you do that? it‘s been known. he is in shorts and a t—shirt and i‘m ina he is in shorts and a t—shirt and i‘m in a fluffy cardigan. you are blushing! studies suggest men are setting the temperatures too low, which means that women are turning it up high and the men‘s back. apparently it is about metabolism. men like to be colder than women. what is the ideal temperature? 20. and since you have exposed me as nietzsche, do you? do you debate this with your wife? —— as sneaky. i a lwa ys this with your wife? —— as sneaky. i always say never until november. house has been on for a while! they say 20 is the optimum, 20 is the average. i think there are many debates to be had around that. in the last 20 minutes it‘s been announced that the energy regulator, ofgem, will cap energy prices for one million vulnerable customers struggling to pay their gas and electricity bills. however that‘s far below the 12 million figure theresa may proposed last week. joining us now is the chief executive of ofgem, dermot nolan. thank you very much for coming on the programme. on what theresa may was saying last week, the government‘s proposal is set to help 12 million customers. i understand your proposal will help annex to 1 million. are you proposing a watered down version? certainly not. we are proposing bringing 1 million energy customers, especially those most vulnerable around the deals at the moment, to bring them in as quickly as possible. we want to have them fully protected by winter this year, hopefully by february at the latest, and we are proposing to bring another two or 3 million customers, again the most vulnerable, and try to improve their outcomes. we will also work very closely with the government and with the prime minister‘s announcement to ensure that all 12 million us are brought within price protection as soon as legislation goes to parliament. last week we spoke to the energy secretary on this programme and he spoke about standard variable tariffs. he said they are relic and not fit for purpose. he asks why they are still offered to customers. i know you said you would meet with him after the recent may spoke. what was said in that meeting? we discussed the plans are talking about today, the principals of them, and we also discussed that we both agree that standard variable tariffs are relic. i‘m calling on all suppliers to actually make moves to get their customers off standard variable tariffs as soon as possible. we‘ve made further changes which will make it easier for them to do. we think the challenge is very much on the company... up the companies, to help get people on the better value deals. especially important is as they get people off standard variable tariffs they get them to better deals and we will be watching the very closely. that said, we are moving forward protection for the vulnerable. we will work with government to bring in any legislative outputs from parliament to project the wider set of people. but in the meantime companies need to do more to get their customers off standard variable tariffs and on to better deals. in terms of the proposal of a cap, if everyone was to implement a cap, if everyone was to implement a cap surely that would mean people... sorry, if you implemented a cap surely that would mean if everyone pushes customers to charge them at that price is it then reduces the ability to move and actually reduces competition in the market. isn‘t that an outcome of putting a cap on things? i think a cap will certainly have a significant effect on the market, which is why we think it‘s a matter for parliament to decide on. we already have a cap in place in the sense that 4 million customers have a price cap in place for a significant period of time already. by significant period of time already. by and large the vast majority of such customers have gained from that as prices have come down. for a few fries —— prices have gone up and that‘s the way cabs work. it is given this duty by parliament to design a cap that makes the most sense, a cap that guards against some of the problems referred to. i think the prime minister said she still wanted a competitive framework. if that is what is given by parliament, we will work to design a cap that protects those, particularly those who are most disengaged, but we hope it still lets competition flourish and benefits those who are switching. that‘s a difficult challenge but very much one we want to take on. an important subject for many of our view was this morning. good to talk to you. thank you. we are taking a look at the housing market, after the prime minister promised to fix it by building more homes. steph is ata it by building more homes. steph is at a construction show in birmingham and taking shortcuts around this construction show. they are hoping that constructions are safe, with steph about! what are you saying, like? this is a massive exhibition. we have something like 630 exhibitors here, trying to get business. i am going to let my cameramanjump in. easiest way to travel around here. we can give you a quick tour. we are talking about housing today. the prime minister announced a £2 billion injection to help build more social housing. so that there —— she also announced an extra £10 billion for the help to buy scheme, which helps buyers get a mortgage with a deposit as little as 5%. so this exhibition has lots of people showing their businesses. and this isa showing their businesses. and this is a picture of me that someone has made in screws. can you believe that? and came up with it a few moments ago. we have a bit of traffic coming up. good morning! there we are. they are trying to draw up business because there are so draw up business because there are so many elements to the construction industry and according to government figures in 2016— 2017, about 150,000 newbuild homes were completed but that‘s well short of the 250,000 that‘s well short of the 250,000 that most experts agree is required. so lots of reasons why we on the building enough homes. i will be talking about that through the morning and hopefully making sure larry doesn‘t get sick of this buggy! now it‘s time for the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i‘m sonja jessup. two 14—year—old boys have been charged with the murder of a teenager, who was stabbed to death in north—west london last friday. saif abdul—majid, who was 18, was found in a street in neasden with multiple stab wounds. the two boys are due to appear at wimbledon youth court later today. an unprecedented ban on protesters outside abortion clinics could be introduced in ealing. last night, councillors overwhelmingly backed plans to stop anti—abortion groups protesting outside a marie stopes clinic. the good counsel network, which holds daily vigils outside the centre in mattock lane, denies harassing women. the most treasured bible in st paul‘s cathedral will go on display later this month. when the tyndale bible was published in 1526, it was the first time the new testament had appeared in english rather than latin. just three copies survive today. it was considered dangerous to own and william tyndale became a wanted man. even to have it in your possession was a serious matter. to have published it was certainly i‘m afraid a burning matter and tyndale was hunted down and in what should have been a safe house he was discovered, incarcerated and about 18 months later he was executed. travel now. on the tube, we did have minor delays on the circle line, but they‘ve all cleared up. a water main has burst, affecting the north circular. this is how it looks in new southgate — one lane is closed westbound towards finchley, it‘s causing long delays. the a2 has queues into town from dartford to bexley because of a broken down lorry. and a manhole has collapsed on shoreditch high street between great eastern street and worship street. expect it to be slow through there. let‘s have a check on the weather now. good morning. it was another very mild night last night and a cloudy start this morning. yes, we‘ve got grey skies, but the temperature continues to feel rather warm. one or two spots of light rain around at first. drizzle here and there through the day. it‘s going to stay predominantly cloudy, but a south—westerly breeze starts to develop, so becoming fairly breezy in the afternoon. the temperature getting up to 18 celsius, so feeling warm by the end of the day. a band of rain moves across us first thing tonight. gradually that will clear and the sky clears as well. the minimum temperature there will feel a lot colder tonight than it has recently. 11 or 12 celsius. a lovely, bright start tomorrow. in fact, tomorrow is looking very nice indeed. lots of sunshine around, the breeze feeling a little bit lighter. the temperature still feeling reasonably warm. 17-18. in the sunshine it will feel perhaps a little bit nicer than today. as we head through friday, again we‘ve got quite a bit cloud around, but maybe some sunny spells in the afternoon. the weekend really is looking rather pleasant. yes, there is cloud around for saturday. we‘ll see some breaks in it. the temperature warm for sunday. lots of sunshine and temperatures could get up into the low 205. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and dan walker. here is a summary of this morning‘s main stories from bbc news: barack and michelle obama say they are disgusted by reports the hollywood producer harvey weinstein abused women. mr weinstein was a major donor to the democratic party. he has been accused of raping three women, which he denies. some of hollywood‘s most famous actresses, including angelina jolie and gwyneth paltrow, have also said they were sexually harassed by him. e! news correspondent melanie bromley says the seriousness of the allegations may lead to a change in hollywood casting culture. for it was actresses coming out, but for anyone to speak out publicly about whether or not... making accusations of sexual assault, but it is the hollywood men people were really waiting for. so this morning we had ben affleck, obviously matt damon, george clooney. so things are changing. the obama has released a statement saying that any man who degrades women needs to be held accountable regardless of wealth or status. the spanish government has called an emergency meeting after the president of the catalan region, carles puigdemont, signed a declaration of independence. mr puigdemont immediately suspended it to allow talks to be held. the government in madrid has said it won‘t be blackmailed. it disputes the legitimacy of the referendum held 11 days ago, in which catalan voters backed a split from spain. the energy regulator ofgem has announced it will cap gas and electricity bills for one million customers. its plans will help vulnerable customers, who struggle with their energy bills, but is not as wide—reaching as government plans to cap prices for 12 million people. ofgem‘s proposals will come into effect next february. at least 15 people are known to have died in wildfires that have spread through northern california‘s wine region. a state of emergency was declared in the area, and thousands have been left homeless. more than 150 people are reported to be missing. winds have now eased, helping to bring the fires under control. the largest analysis of childhood obesity ever carried out has concluded that children across the world are getting bigger. the world health organisation has warned the number of obese children and teenagers could overtake those classed as underweight in just five years. one in ten children in the uk is classed as obese. a plan to make the uk the safest place in the world to use the internet is being unveiled by the government today. among the proposals is a plan to impose a levy on social media sites such as facebook and twitter, to help fund educational campaigns about internet abuse. the government also wants a code of practice to make sure providers offer adequate online safety. eggs stamped with the british lion mark have been declared free from salmonella. for the past 30 years, pregnant women, the elderly, and small children have been advised to avoid eating raw or runny eggs. the advice from the food standards agency comes after a 20—year vaccination programme and improvements to animal welfare. a previously lost portrait by leonardo da vinci is about to go on sale in new york. it is the last one still in private hands, and it could be yours if you have a spare $100 million or so lying around. tim allman has more. it has been described as the last da vinci. salvator mundi, saviour of the world, a portrait of christ, dating to around 1500. it was only rediscovered 12 years ago when it was sold at auction, initially believed to be a copy. the new buyers started the restoration process, and once the old paint layers began to come off the repaint layers, you could see the original quality. and it was at that point that it was beginning to be understood that it really might be leonardo‘s lost original. so what price do you put on genius? the market will decide, but it‘s around $100 million is an estimate. all will be revealed next month, when the auction takes place in new york. soon, the last da vinci will have a new home. tim allman, bbc news. is it your kind of thing?|j understand is it your kind of thing?” understand that it is an important picture. but i wouldn‘t put it in the living room. that is probably really bad. culturally, there are people cutting all over the place —— tutting. have you ever seen an albino orangutan? i hadn‘t, an hourago i hadn‘t, an hour ago we saw one. the answer is probably no, because ther is only one known in the world. five—year—old alba was rescued from captivity, where she was kept in a tiny cage, earlier this year. she has been nursed back to health, and now lives as free as possible in a rehabilitation centre. sadly she can never be released into the wild, because her white fur, hearing and sight problems will make her a target for poachers. tell your friends you have seen the only albino orangutan in the world, only albino orangutan in the world, on breakfast. argentina are in the world cup, but there are some big names missing. well, they have gone into the play—offs, so they will have the chance to do it, but some of the big names are out, the netherlands are gone. if you are writing a script for a hollywood movie about this, who would score the goals that get them to the world cup? that feller, lionel messi. and how many would he score? hat trick! they looked to be heading out, after conceding to ecuador inside the opening minute, but three from messi did the job. the two—time winners of the world cup are heading to russia next summer. wild celebrations on the pitch, and back home in buenos aires. european champions portugal will also be in russia next summer, a 2—0 win over switzerland enough to take them through as group winners. the swiss settle for a play—off spot, where they could face northern ireland or the republic of ireland. madonna is supporting portugal as her son is studying at the benfica academy, dreaming of becoming a professional footballer. the netherlands will miss out altogether. they needed a massive seven—goal win over sweden to have any chance of making the world cup. but they could only manage a 2—0 win at home, arjen robben with both goals. he announced his retirement from international football after the match. syria‘s hopes of reaching the tournament next summer are over, after defeat to australia. it was 1—1 after the first leg, and fans were out in force in damascus watching on tv, hoping for a result in sydney. but an extra—time header from tim cahill saw the socceroos win 2—1 on the night, and progress 3—2 on aggregate to the final qualifying tie. liverpool have been dealt a big blow with the news that a key player, sadio mane, could be out for up to six weeks with a hamstring injury. the forward has scored three goals in five league appearances this season, is set to miss the games against manchester united and tottenham, plus both champions league group fixtures against maribor. mane picked up the injury on international duty with senegal. the premier league has been testing a new video assistant refereeing system to be introduced next year. they recreated their own version of maradona‘s ‘hand of god‘ goal from the 1986 world cup to demonstrate the technology at st george‘s park. the video assistant referee system is due to be used in england for the first time in january next year for selected matches. if we harness the advantages of this system, those errors where a referee might be caught out of position, can‘t quite see anything clearly, but it is really evident for a 30—second check of the video, that allows us to get that decision right, and football benefits. there was a good win for aljaz bedene at the shanghai masters. he beat the italian paolo lorenzi in straight sets to reach the second round. it wasn‘t such a good day for fellow brit kyle edmund. his search for a first win over a top—ten—ranked player continues, after he slipped to defeat to world number five and wimbledon runner—up marin cilic. a year after serving a ban for showing a lack of effort in shanghai, kyrgios retired after losing the first set of his match against stevejohnson, in an apparent protest at the officiating. kyrgios claimed he had a stomach problem, but was apparently heard to say that he would quit if he lost the first set. boos following kyrgios off court in shanghai. icelandic commentator haukur hardarson describing the moment his nation secured their place in russia on monday. enjoy. speaks jubilant icelandic you don‘t need to be able to speak icelandic understand it to know exactly what he is saying. he is laughing, crying and enjoying himself. i would have loved to be in the commentary box next to him a perfectly normal reaction, the smallest nation ever to qualify. it is very sales across the board, really, when it comes to world cup qualifying —— fairy tales across the board. another team for england to avoid! social media companies including facebook and twitter could be asked to pay a new tax, under government plans to clamp down on online dangers such as cyber bullying and trolling. ministers want money raised from the proposed levy to help fund educational campaigns about internet abuse. we‘rejoined now by karen bradley, the secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport. good morning. thank you for being with us on breakfast this morning. how do you convince a global media company, with arms of their business in every country all over the world, to comply to a voluntary scheme here in the uk? well, we are working with internet companies to get the right result. that is why we have launched a consultation today. the green paper we have launched today is about all the things we want to do under our digital charter to make the uk the safest place to be online. and the levy is one part of that. what about a fine? the german government announced that it would legislate to impose fines i think of 50 million euros on social media companies that refused to remove for example things like hate speech or fa ke example things like hate speech or fake news. is that the way to go? to impose fines, to make them sit up and listen? well, i don't rule anything out. we will do whatever we need to do to get the result we want, which is to make the uk the safest place to be online. to make it the case that what you see on your computer screen is the same kind of behaviour you would expect a bid to behave to you while you are in the street, and i think that is what we have had for too long. there has been behaviour online which would simply be unacceptable if it was done to you face—to—face. we need to change that. there are lots of things we need to do, and that is work by the government, by internet companies themselves, and it is also about education and understanding for pa rents about education and understanding for parents and young people. but it is part of a whole suite of things, andi is part of a whole suite of things, and i rule nothing out. my point is that germany appears to be the safest place online at the moment, because they are saying they will impose huge fines on you. well, we all have to look at what the rate approaches. i would like to do this ina approaches. i would like to do this in a collaborative way, working with the internet companies. i would like to get to the point where we all agree on the right way to do things, but i rule nothing out. but this is all ina but i rule nothing out. but this is all in a voluntary basis. so talking about this annual report to make sure there is no harmful content and assess things like that, which will ta ke assess things like that, which will take place every single year, our social media companies signed up to that? who have you got on board to be part of that annual report, for example? well, that is what we are consulting on. we want the social media companies to get on board. consulting on. we want the social media companies to get on boardm anybody on board at the moment?” media companies to get on boardm anybody on board at the moment? i do seek a willingness to be a part of this. i will not speak on behalf of the companies, i will let them speak for themselves. what i think my conversations with the founders of these companies say that when we found that these businesses we were in our205, we found that these businesses we were in our 205, we didn‘t have children and we didn‘t understand. we saw a great opportunity for a new liberal freedom on the internet. now we are older, we have teenagers ourselves, and we can see the problems. we want to work with you to solve that. that is what we announced in the consultation today. we want to work with businesses but it is about what we can all do to make sure the uk is the safest place to be online. while at the same time, and i think this is really important, making sure that the opportunities that the internet affords are available to all. so we want our business is to be able to sell across the world, because that is what the internet makes available to them. i want young people to have friendships from around the world. i want them to see the world through the internet tom want them to use the opportunities the internet gives them, but i want them to be able to that safely. i want to ask about your leader, theresa may. yesterday she was in a radio interview and she refused to say on three occasions whether she would vote leave now. you were a remainer, how would you vote in a second eu referendum? there is going to be a second eu referendum. we have stated this time and time again. we are delivering on the will of the british people from the will of the british people from the binding referendum we had in june 2016 and we are the european union. you say you won't answer that question, but hypothetical questions are important. when people are campaigning to be prime minister, we asked them whether they would press the nuclear button. that is important. given the opportunity the again, asa important. given the opportunity the again, as a remainer, how would you vote ? again, as a remainer, how would you vote? i think that is a different question. you are asking about the nuclear button in the context of weather as leader you would take a decision you may need to take in that circumstance. that is a four foreseeable thing. it is not foreseeable thing. it is not foreseeable that they would be a second referendum on the european union. there is not going to be won if you wanderlust people who want a second referendum, at a party, liberal democrats, feel free to do so. liberal democrats, feel free to do so. but we are delivering on the will of the british people and leaving the european union. judge us on our record. what i am asking you essentially is that this is the most important issue where the uk are facing at the moment. do you accept that? i think it is one of many, that? i think it is one of many, thatis that? i think it is one of many, that is why i‘m here to talk about internet safety. is not the only issue the uk faces. with respect, we have spoken about uk to make internet safety. brexit dominate the headlines at the moment and whether you agree with that or not is your own opinion. this is something which millions of britons are concerned about, and you won‘t tell us whether you have changed your mind on something which you were adamant that we should remain in the eu before. i was always somebody who felt that on balance injune last year it would be better for the felt that on balance injune last year it would be betterfor the uk, economic prosperity, safety, to stay in the european union. that‘s not what the british people decided. i see a bright and optimistic future for britain outside the european union and i‘m determined that we will get back deal with the eu while also maintaining our position as a strong global britain. thank you for talking to us. here‘s matt with a look at this morning‘s weather. it looks miserable for many today, but it will get better? it will. there‘s a lot of wet and windy weather around, especially in the west, but let‘s start with a glimmer of sunshine. one of our weather watchers found this in suffolk. some will have the sunshine this morning. more of you into the afternoon. it is a soaker this wednesday morning. especially north—west england and northwest wales. the rainfall total is building up after heavy rain through the night. we could have as much as 100 millimetres by the early afternoon, before things improve. that could lead to mine of flooding. a few impacts to full travel as well. if you have a look at the wider shot across the uk, rainy in southern scotland at the moment. rain coming and going in northern ireland. very windy, the gale force, around winds". the rain will push through the pennines in the morning. and across wales and the midlands and south—west. the far south—east of england, east anglia, a few showers drew the day and a lot of dry weather. in the deepening, this is five o‘clock. the rain is on the south—west. after a dry start we have outbreaks of rain extensively. still went for the south and east. the north and west will up. towards south yorkshire and also east yorkshire we are likely to see rain at times. the rest of northern england, better in the afternoon. sunny spells. some showers. between the sunshine in northern ireland and scotla nd the sunshine in northern ireland and scotland the showers could be heavy and thundery. not completely done with the wet weather. went into the afternoon and evening across east anglia and the south—east, but the rain is fairly short lived. it clears through the night. the winds are lightest in the south, breezy in the north, with showers in scotland, as there will be into thursday. it will be cooler than this morning. fresher. temperatures in single figures. more sunshine around tomorrow. most places will have a dry day on thursday. more cloud in northern scotland. showers merging into longer spells later and the breeze picks up. after the chilly start late in the afternoon it should feel pleasant. thursday night and into friday there‘s been this low pressure pushing up towards iceland. south—westerly winds bring in weather fronts and more rain to western scotland and northern ireland. blustery winds as well in the south and east. a couple of showers, a little bit of sunshine. when the sun is out it will feel pleasa nt when the sun is out it will feel pleasant and into the weekend it will feel pleasant in parts. some sunny spells likely into saturday and sunday and we could have up to 23 degrees. always cool further north and maybe some occasional rain. nota north and maybe some occasional rain. not a washout of a weekend, evenin rain. not a washout of a weekend, even in the north—west, but still very pleasant where you get the sunshine. yesterday you were talking about eating pastries. quite a few people are getting in contact, saying they were on the hunt for cannolis, after bake off last night. i‘ve never had one but i want one now. people are feeling very hungry. what are they? they are like little italian pastries. i only know them from bake off. you then bend them around and you dig brydon. it looks around and you dig brydon. it looks a bit like about this —— brandy snap. and then you fill them with ricotta, whatever. they are gorgeous. how can we link from that to housing? no idea. here‘s some housing with steph. we‘re taking a closer look at housing this morning after theresa may‘s promise to build 5,000 new council houses every year for the next five years. perhaps good news for the construction industry. steph is at the biggest gathering of professionsals. you‘ve got your diy corner! everytime you through to me you are talking about food and i am literally looking at this bowl of licorice thinking i am going to eat that completely soon. this is the biggest construction show in the uk. does anyone know what this is for? me and the cameraman were talking about it. we have no idea. maybe a back scratcher. lots of businesses are showing off their wares. 630 exhibitors. lots going on in the construction industry at the moment. not least of course the announcement by the prime minister last week about ill be more homes. we have kate here, a property expert. give us kate here, a property expert. give us the lowdown. we've got more investment into help to buy, which is helping a lot of first—time buyers, even though other people can get a ccess buyers, even though other people can get access on the ladder for that. great news because that builds new homes. over and above that we have changes to the private rental sector, improving regulation. more builder to rent. new properties for te na nts, builder to rent. new properties for tenants, which will again raise the standards. and really where we need the investment is in social homes. we‘ve not been able to say that for a long time. they haven‘t been very affordable. what we really need now is more money into that. money has been announced, but 5000 extra new homes when you have over1 million people on council waiting list isn‘t enough. whenever i talk about this lots of people getting contact and say, what about all of those empty homes? why can‘t we use those? say, what about all of those empty homes? why can't we use those?‘ say, what about all of those empty homes? why can't we use those? a lot of time they might be empty because somebody is in hospital or you have a rowling family ordered on what to do with it. —— rowing. so there are lots of reasons. what we need to do is build good—quality new homes for people at every stage of their life. council houses, social homes, whatever you would like to call them, brand—new properties for people who rent and first—time homes for people that are affordable. we have the do it across that spectrum because in areas where there is a shortage of stock it‘s a shortage of all of those things. interesting. and kate mentioned building new homes. part of this exhibition are these modular homes. of course this is quite a new approach to how we build houses and could potentially be the future. kim is the boss of the company that makes them. what is a modular home? —— tim. the company that makes them. what is a modular home? -- tim. it is no different from any other home but it happens to be manufactured off—site, principally, either in large parts or like ours, one particular range launched yesterday, we make a flatpack kit which comes to the site and can be put up quickly. lots of people at home will be wondering, a flatpack house, that sounds like it will be rubbish quality!” flatpack house, that sounds like it will be rubbish quality! i can understand the concerns but the types of properties that we build, we use architects and it really does feel like they are really solid houses. this is basically one of the homes and you guys build them in a factory. how long does it take to make them and how long does it take to put them up? we have machinery in our factories, to put them up? we have machinery in ourfactories, so we to put them up? we have machinery in our factories, so we can manufacture the parts for a 3—bedroom house in a matter of hours and when we bring that kit to site it can go up in a matter of days on site. we have heard flatpack homes before. what‘s different? why are things different? in terms of what‘s different, we are bringing the product which is very green, made from recycled glass. it is the strongest concrete. —— as strong. but it is ultimately an eco— project. thank you very much. we will be here throughout the morning, looking at all of the different elements of this. as you saw earlier, i was given the keys for the golf buggy so i will get back on that because it is the best way to show you around, it is massive year. i love how security suddenly realised there was a camera and did a runner. more from me later. i had a runner. more from me later. ihada a runner. more from me later. i had a couple of answers to your brush question. wendy and mike in the studio straight a way said it is used to paint behind

bible was published in 1526, it was the first time the new testament had appeared in english rather than latin. just three copies survive today. it was considered dangerous to own and william tyndale became a wanted man. even to have it in your possession was a serious matter. to have published it was certainly i‘m afraid a burning matter and tyndale was hunted down and in what should have been a safe house he was discovered, incarcerated and about 18 months later he was executed. travel now. the district line has minor delays is the bound. that‘s down to a fa u lty is the bound. that‘s down

gwyneth paltrow have joined the growing number of women who have claimed they were sexually harassed by the high—profile democrat supporter. mr weinstein has denied the allegations. our correspondent david willis has more. to the growing list of a—listers who harvey weinstein stands accused of propositioning. a few years after that, a former finalist in the miss italy contest went to the police claiming harvey weinstein had sexually assaulted. she wore a recording device to the next meeting and the interaction makes uncomfortable listening. three women have accused harvey weinstein of rape, an accusation he denies and some of hollywood‘s biggest names are accusing him of u nwa nted biggest names are accusing him of unwanted advances. we went to his office and we had a great conversation

nothing but a robe with the front open and he was naked. weinstein's wife announced last night she was leaving him in the light of the allegations.

have been disgusted by the recent reports about harvey weinstein. any man who demeans and degrades women in such fashion needs to be condemned and held accountable, regardless of wealth or status." we will keep you up—to—date with anymore that comes through and reiterate harvey weinstein denied three allegations of rape. if you look at the papers this morning, it is on the front pages of many papers. the spanish prime minister is holding an emergency cabinet meeting this morning to discuss the catalan president‘s declaration of independence. last night carles puigdemont said catalonia had won the right to be an independent republic, but he suspended the move for several weeks to allow for talks with the government in madrid, as andrew plant reports. confusion, consternation, and anger, too. this crowd of people, eager for catalonia to separate from spain, watching as their leader first declared independence, and then delayed taking any action. translation: the government and myself propose that this parliament suspends the effects of the independence declaration in order to establish dialogue, without which we cannot reach a solution. for many, it was a disappointing end to almost two weeks of turmoil, that started with a referendum and scenes of police brutality, as spain‘s central government declared the vote illegal, their patience with catalonia‘s separate regional government now clearly wearing thin. translation: the speech the president gave is that of a person who doesn‘t know where he is, where he‘s going, or who he wants to go there with. the government can‘t accept the validity given to the catalan referendum law, because it was ruled illegal by the spanish constitutional court. so what next for spain? the leader of catalonia‘s regional assembly has disappointed many supporters, who wanted an unequivocal declaration of independence. meanwhile, spain‘s prime minister has called an extraordinary cabinet meeting to work out a way forward, on an issue where it is increasingly hard to see where any common ground can ever be found. at least 15 people are known to have died in wildfires that have spread through northern california‘s wine region. a state of emergency was declared in the area, and thousands have been left homeless. more than 150 people are reported to be missing. winds have now eased, helping to bring the fires under control. the largest analysis of childhood obesity ever carried out has concluded that children across the world are getting bigger. the world health organisation has warned the number of obese children and teenagers could overtake those classed as underweight in just five years. one in ten children in the uk is classed as obese. a plan to make the uk the safest place in the world to use the internet is being unveiled by the government today. among the proposals is a plan to impose a levy on social media sites such as facebook and twitter to help fund educational campaigns about internet abuse. the government also wants a code of practice to make sure providers offer adequate online safety. nearly 30 years after concerns were first raised about salmonella in eggs, pregnant women, small children and vulnerable older people were advised they can once again eat soft boiled or runny eggs. the food standards agency says "lion mark" eggs produced in the uk are now free of salmonella. the advice comes after a 20 year vaccination programme and improvements to animal welfare. our health correspondent dominic hughes has more. an egg for breakfast — tasty, nutritious, full of vitamins, and cheap. but, nearly 30 years ago, a scare over salmonella in eggs meant vulnerable groups, like pregnant women and small children, were advised to avoid having them runny. now, the eggs produced by chickens like these are being declared safe. a massive salmonella vaccination programme, and improvements to animal welfare, has all but eradicated salmonella from the uk flock. the red lion mark a guarantee that eggs are now safe to eat, no matter how they are cooked. we‘re now saying, if it‘s a british lion egg, you‘re safe to do that. the risk of salmonella is now so low, you needn‘t worry. and that‘s true whether you‘re a fit, healthy adult, the risk of salmonella is now so low, you needn‘t worry. and that‘s true whether you‘re a fit, healthy adult, or whether you‘re pregnant, or elderly, or young. the british appetite for eggs has been growing. last year, british hens laid more than 10,000 million eggs. on average, we consume more than 34 million eggs every day. and they‘re good for you, packed full of vitamin d, protein, and valuable omega—3 fatty acids. official recognition for a salmonella—free flock is good for producers, and for all of us, as consumers. the health benefits of eggs can now be enjoyed by young and old alike, free from any fear that salmonella is a risk. the energy regulator ofgem has announced it will cap gas and electricity bills for one million customers. its plans will help vulnerable customers who struggle with their energy bills, but is not as wide—reaching as government plans to cap prices for 12 million people. ofgem‘s proposals will come into effect next february. speaking earlier on breakfast, the chief executive of ofgem, dermot nolan told us the watchdog will work closely with the government. we‘ll also be working very closely with the government and with the prime minister‘s announcement, to ensure that all 12 million you referred to are brought in within price protection as soon as legislation has gone through parliament. i think the prime minister said she still wanted a competitive framework in that price cap. if that is what‘s given by parliament, we will work to design a cap protects those, particularly those most disengaged from the market. prepare yourself for some shocking cctv footage. it is an empty pram being dragged across a train platform at nuneaton has been released by the rail safety and standards board. it‘s hoped this footage of the pram highlighted here will warn parents to hold on tightly to their buggies while waiting at train stations. luckily this one was empty. the mother was holding the baby. just behind it. probably too small to see, but the pram just drifted into it. even though you know there is no child in there, it is horrendous to watch. but a really good thing to watch... hold on or brake on. getting children to go to sleep can be a nightmare with smartphones, anxiety and a bad bedtime routine — but now one study‘s found it could be affecting how they do at school. researchers from the university of leeds say many primary school children are getting as little as seven hours a night, despite the nhs guidelines saying they should have ten. we‘ve been asking parents and children about their sleeping routines. i go to sleep at nine o‘clock and get up at... seven. seven in the morning. he goes to bed at 7:30 and then he wakes up at eight o'clock. he needs a lot of sleep. i think she's always asleep by nine or ten o'clock and then gets up at seven o'clock, so she needs to have almost ten hours sleep. she tells me to go to bed at eight but i stay up till about 11. he's got an xbox, yeah, so he plays on his xbox. he turns it on in the middle of the night. they have tvs in their room. they don't switch it on until the weekends, that's when they use it. i never bring my tablet onto my bed, and my laptop stays under my pillow, unless it‘s the day. they need eight or nine hours sleep for school, yeah. not a lot of my kids tend to like to sleep at night time, but we get there in the end. dr anna weighall is a cognitive psychologist from the university of leeds. you have got three children and the 18—year—old is still at home you have got three children and the 18-year-old is still at home yeah. what‘s bedtime like for you? 18-year-old is still at home yeah. what's bedtime like for you? oh, it‘s dreadful when i get asked this question because i should be setting a good example. but my 13—year—old boy would admit he doesn‘t like bedtime he would rather stay up as late as possible. yeah, it‘s the generalfamily chaos late as possible. yeah, it‘s the general family chaos that i think we all have. you're trying to get them to get sleep. there are so many distractions now? absolutely. you have got smartphones, you have got ta blets have got smartphones, you have got tablets and video games. before all of that, i used to sneak the night bmp of that, i used to sneak the night lamp on and read until 2am. kids will always try and stay up longer if they think something is important. how do you challenge it? it is about having conversations in afamily and it is about having conversations in a family and what our research from the survey that we carried out, we talked to over 1,000 parents with children aged between six to 11, in a piece of research that was sponsored by silent night and what we we re sponsored by silent night and what we were interested in there was finding out what the challenges are at bedtime and what we found was that really both parents and children are finding it difficult to get enough sleep and i think you‘re right, naga, it is the distractions at bedtime that are a betterier. so for children of six to 11, what is ten hours? yes. so if you say you're having an average of seven hours? yes. what is the repercussions? seven hours is barely enough for most adults for a child it‘s really not enough at all. we all know what a tired child looks like. if you have a tired seven—year—old, they‘re going to be a bit grumpy and emotional, less regulation, more likely to snap or be tearful, less able to concentrate in the classroom. this is where it emanates most clearly, when it comes to their development and that is academic or physical progression. how do you recognise that a child isn‘t getting enough sleep, over the long term?” think teachers will often noticed children seemed tired in class. there are lots of things, of course, that can affect children‘s behaviour. but over the long—term, i think if a child is getting enough sleep, not only are they struggling day—to—day in class but it affects their ability to consolidate the information they are learning during the day. a child turning up for class one day being tied affects their ability to take it new information and their ability to link in the information doing that day. you lecture at university as well. i‘m sure you get a few stu d e nts well. i‘m sure you get a few students a little older in the spectrum who struggle to stay awake as well, probably for the same reasons? i going to school and going to my lectures with university stu d e nts to my lectures with university students and i asked people to put up students and i asked people to put up their hands how many hours sleep do you get? and actually, the stu d e nts do you get? and actually, the students do better than you would think. i think that‘s because, they often say they get eight or nine hours sleep. their days and has structured. exactly. although they might not be up late, wejust had freshers week and everything, they often have a few days in the week where they can get up a bit later. their day is less structured. for a family with school—aged kids, if you getting those kids to school on time, mum and dad will be up between six and seven and the kids need to be up soon after seven and that means quite an early bedtime, which given everything we have going on in the evenings is really difficult. no one likes to be preached to, try, at least try. you included, you are a doctor, you look at all this carefully a nd doctor, you look at all this carefully and you struggle as well. i‘m really pleased you said that. there are so many things we as pa rents a re there are so many things we as parents are meant to do. there are reasons why those things are difficult. i think at bed time those things are difficult because there is so much else going on in the evening. i think it‘s about supporting parents and kids through school, to start thinking sleep is an important priority and start thinking of practical steps we can ta ke thinking of practical steps we can take so all of us, adults and children, get a better night‘s sleep. some parents must be watching this thinking, we don‘t struggle because we just don‘t let them have technology in the bedroom at night. no screens or ipads or computers, you can do it downstairs but not upstairs. our research confirms that. where technology is not in the bedroom, children do sleep significantly longer, have a longer sleep duration. there could be a lot of different explanations for that. it could be that parents that are able to do that, that takes quite a lot of resource, quite a lot of ability to be firm. someone said be ability to be firm. someone said be a parent! not yourfriend. a parent! not your friend. but if you are tired and have had up a bad day yourself, these things are all challenges. there might be something about parents that feel able to do that and have those routines in theirfamily. but that and have those routines in their family. but i that and have those routines in theirfamily. but i think it that and have those routines in their family. but i think it could also be that by saying don‘t have it in the bedroom, that will immediately extend the gaps between you trying to go to sleep and you having put your technology down and that will probably make it easier to fall asleep. very interesting. thank you very much. ican imagine you very much. i can imagine matt taylor would never let any of that technology nonsense at night and the values, absolutely values the importance of sleep. good morning. yes, good morning! 11 hours each night and it makes for a happier family, kids that are not too tired. i could just hope for five hours some nights! alarm at three o‘clock this morning. let‘s get on with the weather. this is of of you have at the moment, not necessarily the hills but grey clouds and soggy windows, particularly wet morning for some parts of the uk, wet and windy. parts of north—west and north west wales around snowdonia and cumbria, this is where the rain will be relentless in this morning. 100 millimetres in some spots on minor flooding could be possible. things will improve for you this afternoon. elsewhere, taking a look at the bigger picture, some rain at the moment in southern scotland, starting to ease a bit in northern ireland, sunny conditions but with showers developing through the rest of this morning. south and east, a few showers, but a lot of dry weather. temperatures up to around 18. the rain is shifting southwards through the afternoon. by the time we get to the evening rush—hour, after a wet day in west wales, things turning brighter but it means wet conditions for the south—west of england, south and east wales, the north and west, the midlands and east yorkshire. gusty winds. a few showers in east anglia and the south—east. predominantly dry in the working day. big improvements later on across parts of northern england, especially cumbria. much more sunshine, blue skies overhead. the sunshine, blue skies overhead. the sunshine will be punctuated by some passing showers in northern ireland and scotland, some heavily and andre bossert even here, a lot of dry weather to come in the afternoon. after a brief spell of rain, east anglia and the south is clearing. some outbreaks of rain in scotland overnight with blustery winds. tonight what you will notice, a much fresher night than the one just gone. niklas cooler start on thursday. single figure temperatures away from towns and cities but other bands some mist and fog patches, a lovely sunny start. a crisp autumn morning for most. the breeze picking up morning for most. the breeze picking up later. in northern scotland, showers on and off during the day, with some heavy spells in orkney and pap shetland. even after that chilly start, should feel quite pleasant when the sun is out. back to the milder, wet and windy from thursday night into friday. this low pressure driving a weather system our way. like today, parts of western scotland, north—west england and north west wales at sea the wettest weather on friday. the ground already soggy. blustery conditions across the board, but further south east trier and brighter and if you get any breaks in the cloud it will feel pleasant. you need breaks in the cloud but when you get them in england and wales, temperatures as high as 23. a bit cooler for scotla nd high as 23. a bit cooler for scotland and northern ireland, some rain at times but even here there will be some dry moments to enjoy as well. that is how it is looking. doesn‘t look bad at all, thank i‘m just concentrating on the 23. it‘s been a difficult week for the cosmetics company dove, which has had to apologise for an advert that was branded by many on social media as "racist". one of the models featured in that ad is lola ogunyemi. shejoins us now. good morning. lovely to have you on the programme. would you explain to anyone who sees that advertisement, what we saw was a very short clip, what we saw was a very short clip, what is the problem with this advertisement? or what has been said is the problem? what has been said is the problem? what has been said is the problem is that there is a black woman, who is myself, who removes. . . black woman, who is myself, who removes... the concept is that she potentially removes her top and becomes a white woman after using a dove product. and originally, the original advertisement is about 30 seconds long. yes. with a variety of women. you are happy with the original advertisement which is quite a while ago, really happy and friends said it is great you are pa rt friends said it is great you are part of this campaign?” friends said it is great you are part of this campaign? i loved it. the 32nd version was made for tv. they were short of snippets featuring the t—shirt concept for social media. the principle behind it being the product dove has products that suit all skin types. yes, and there is a line in the 30 second tv commercial that says all skin deserves gentleness. what did you think of the cutdown version, you think of the cutdown version, you taking off at esher and been replaced by white model?” you taking off at esher and been replaced by white model? i was happy with it when i saw the advert itself, because i turn into a white model and then the white model turns into an asian model and i thought it was fantastic. i remember being on set and they were explaining the concept to us. everyone was like, this is amazing, it will be so cool, eve ryo ne this is amazing, it will be so cool, everyone will be —— was excited about it. we didn‘t know where we would feature but the concept sounded amazing to us. i think the screen shots that have taken the media by storm paint a slightly different picture, which is why i felt it was interesting. do you think there is an element of people wanting to be offended by something. dove have come out and apologised, which i imagine you can understand, but do they have grounds for defence, do you think? absolutely. i understand why they apologised, to an extent. however, knowing that the concept... if they had the idea the concept... if they had the idea the concept was actually just to promote diversity and show the fact there are different types of women that can use the same product and we all deserve that sort of treatment, i think there... they could have defended that and just defended their vision for the project. you heard about this row from friends? yes. people saying oh my gosh, how do you feel, are you ok being at the centre of this row? what were they saying to you, in terms of, do you feel upset, i agree you‘ve been hard done by or isn‘t this a fuss about nothing? that was the general gist. the latter? yes. all these ads came out about a month and a half ago and i showed them across all my social media, shared it with my friends and family and everyone loved it. so it was kind of a whirlwind on sunday when i found out. i woke up in the morning and on my friend had sent me a facebook message with a link to an article that was kind of explains that dove had released a racist advert. i read it and was like... i was just shocked it had come out a month after the ad had come out and eve ryo ne month after the ad had come out and everyone had been so congratulatory and so excited for me and the whole day kind of spiralled as more people started reporting on it. if you type in racist advert into a search engine now, yourface pops up. for you it is not racist? i don't feel it was racist. however, there is a case for the context of the situation and i feel that there is a position where dove maybe could have taken that into account, given that they‘ve run into this sort of situation the fox, they‘ve received backlash is similar content that they‘ve posted. this is something they‘ve posted. this is something they could have... not expected but they could have... not expected but they should have strong teams that should point this thing out before it goes to air. would you do it ain? it goes to air. would you do it again? the same ad? yeah, i'd do it again. it has been really speaking to you, lola, and this is your first interview. thank you so much. lola ogunyemi, thank you so much. fascinating. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, it is going to be a wet and windy day particularly towards northern and western parts of the uk. there will be gales around exposed areas and the rain for some not stopping all day. we have the weather front that is straddling the northern and western areas. in the south east, things looking drier and brighter. i want to focus across north—west england and wales. with the rain persisting really well into this evening, we could be looking at 50 to 100 millimetres of rain particularly over the higher ground of the pennines and snowdonia. that could cause one or two problems, but away from the north western corner of england and north wales, things looking dry and bright towards the south east. after this morning‘s rain in scotland and northern ireland, things improving here. there will be one or two heavy and perhaps thundery showers into the west of scotland, but some good sunny spells. but the wetter and the windier weather will spread south and east ward tonight.

towards scotland and northern ireland where the wind is picking up here. outbreaks of rain moving south and east. notice the temperatures starting to rise up. as we go into saturday and sunday, with warmer air coming in from the south, we could see the temperatures up to 23 celsius across the south. still a little bit cooler further north. 15 celsius here with outbreaks of rain and strong winds
