A bit of everything in the weekends forecasts. The bulk of the sunshine will be felt across northern parts on saturday, more cloud across southern areas, i will give you all of the details in a few minutes. We will see you then, thank you. Good morning. First, our main story. Air accident investigators are trying to work out what caused a plane and a helicopter to collide over buckinghamshire yesterday, killing four people. Teams will continue scouring the area for wreckage around the National Trusts waddesdon estate, near aylesbury. Ian palmer is there for us this morning. Ian, what can you tell us about the crash and the Ongoing Investigation . Its getting light and i guess investigations and searches resume . It will very shortly. Basically the search teams are arriving here on the edge of the Waddesdon Manor estate. They are having a briefing, a meeting at the moment. It isnt exactly clear when the investigation will resume after the suspension of it last night. Of course it will start at some point this morning. When it does the families of the four dead people will be following developments very closely. Beneath the canopy of autumn colour lies the wreckage of two light aircraft. This is the tale of the cessna plane. Nearby lies its wing and a little further away in a clearing are the remains of what is believed to be the helicopter. Two people were travelling in each aircraft and no one survived. We did a joint response with the fire service, ambulance and now the air Accident Branch who are working with us through a joint investigation while we establish the cause of the crash. The mid air collision happened above the waddesdon estate, in buckinghamshire. Both pilots took off from whickham airport 20 miles away. Visibility at the time was clear and bright. An off duty fire officer saw the collision and says there was a loud bang followed by falling debris. Yesterday, police and air accident investigators worked late into the night. Their task to find out why the crash happened and who was involved. With the wreckage spread over a large area, the search for clues as to why two aircraft collided in good conditions is expected to continue at least until monday. As he will have seen from those aerial pictures, the wreckage spread over a large area. Its also inside very large wooded copse, which will make recovering the wreckage from those two aircraft particularly difficult. Thames Valley Police say they expect to be here for some time, at least a couple of days. Right now we are just waiting to hear when, of course, that investigation will resume this morning. And hopefully at some point later today we will find out the identities of the four dead people. Thank you very much. Jubilant scenes on the streets of zimbabwe where people are protesting against the president Robert Mugabe. State media have confirmed that eight out of 10 regional branches of the governing zanu pf already passed a vote of no confidence in the president. Ben brown is in zimbabwe for us. These rallies have begun. Largely celebrating, from what we understand, but please let us know, the fact that a transition period seems inevitable. I think this is a really pivotal day in zimba bwes history. I think this is a really pivotal day in zimbabwes history. Thousands of people coming out onto the streets in the capital. Two a separate rallies, both demanding Robert Mugabe steps down. One organised by the war veterans, the veterans of the war veterans, the veterans of the war veterans, the veterans of the war of liberation, who fought alongside Robert Mugabe. That is backed by zanu pf, his party, and the army, and a number of civilians who want to take to the streets to demand he steps down. Hes running out of time. Hes running out of friends. And if he doesnt resign with some dignity of his own free volition it looks like he will be pushed out. Zanu pf have a committee meeting. Provinces of zanu pf have already had a vote of in him. If he doesnt step down and looked like he will be made to. The threat of violence is something people have been trying to avoid with this so called coup, write . Very little violence. Some gunshots in the takeover, but not much. In fa ct in the takeover, but not much. In fact the whole mood in this country, as far as fact the whole mood in this country, as farasi fact the whole mood in this country, as far as i concede it is quite relaxed, its quite calm. Its stupid and today. People since change is coming. How significant the change will be in the long run, we will have to see. The most likely next president was a strong man in Robert Mugabes government. Hes not exactly a champion of democracy, his critics would say. How much change it is unclear, but if there is a Transitional Government it looks like members of the opposition will be part of that Transitional Government. Good to talk to you, thanks for keeping us up to date. We will be talking to ben throughout the programme. A 49 year old man arrested on suspicion of the murder of missing teenager gaia pope has been released. Carpenter paul elsey was held after clothing similar to what 19 year old gaia was believed to be wearing the day she disappeared was found near a coastal path. In a statement posted on facebook her mother natasha said she was Holding Onto Hope her daughter was still alive. Gaia went missing from swanage 11 days ago. Our correspondentjames ingham is in swanage. James, how significant are the clothes that were found . It seems like the police are very much focusing on her area where the clothes were found, but it goes beyond that, as well . Thats right. The discovery of this clothing is clearly very significant. By popes family have said it appears to be closing they believe she was wearing when she went missing. Gaia popes family. That means searches are taking place in that area and two other rural areas around swa nage in that area and two other rural areas around swanage today. The effo rts areas around swanage today. The efforts to find the efforts to find gaia have been huge. They have 10,000 members for their facebook groups to find her. They are asking all of these people to come to swanage, at three different points, to come and help find her. There is an organiser at each of those points with maps. They will be doing a nine search with a couple of feet between each person to try and find her. Natasha pope made an emotional plea yesterday saying i believe in this community and i believe miracles can happen. Im holding on to hope. Please come out, everyone of you can make a difference. There are still some hope, despite these arrest and subsequent releases, that gaia can still be found. Thanks very much. Donald trump has suspended the import of elephant hunting trophies, just a day after a ban was relaxed by his administration. The us president was set to reverse a 2014 obama era ban, by allowing hunters to bring back mementoes from big game kills in zambia and zimbabwe. But late last night he tweeted the change was on hold until he could review all conservation facts. 90 mp5 90 mps have signed a letter to the Prime Minister and chancellor to say that people are being failed by the nhs in this country. The politicians who signed the letter including nearly 30 former ministers are calling for parties to Work Together to find a solution. Our Health Editor hugh pym reports. The pressure on nhs is growing. There are fears that hospitals will continue to struggle to find enough beds to admit new patients, partly because of difficulties discharging elderly patients, caused in turn by problems with social care. A group of mps now says that a long term Sustainable Settlement is needed and that only a cross party nhs and Care Convention can deliver that. In the letter written to the Prime Minister and the chancellor, the mps say and senior conservative labour and liberal democrat backbenchers are among those who signed the letter. I think the nhs and social care are huge issues for our generation and weve got to get it right and i think its bigger than just one party. The mps also call for action in next weeks budget to address the short term pressures on the system. A Government Spokesperson said it was recognised there was broad agreement across parliament, that social care reform was a priority, and there would be consultation ahead of policy paper next year. It is the budget later this week. There have been a number of stories in todays papers and there will be more tomorrow, im sure, but what is in store. Tom lees in the london newsroom. This is the weekend whether leaks start coming through and we get hints about what to expect, or not to expect, good morning. Tom is in london. We know what will be in the budget is the first moves towards a possible tax on Single Use Plastics. If you went out last night, bought a kebab on the way back from the pub, the polystyrene tray that came in, or if you are doing your christmas shopping, the bubble wrap it might arise in, the government is concerned about this. Especially when it gets into the sea. 1 million birds, 100,000 sea mammals and turtles every year get tangled up in it or eat it, so the government wa nts to it or eat it, so the government wants to do something about it. They are announcing the start of a process. A call for evidence where they will look at how these plastics are made, used, and disposed of. They are specifically going to have a look at possibly introducing a tax on that in the future. No detail at all at the moment on how that might work or what level it is likely to be in. Other announcements, they have said they are going to allow Housing Associations to borrow much more money. Philip hammond has a lot more money. Philip hammond has a lot more money. Philip hammond has a lot more money to spend than he thought he would come the question is, how is he going to spend it . Well find out next week, im sure. Thanks very much. Last night children in need reached a record on the night total of more than £50 million. Incredible. Who will buy this wonderful morning . Such a sky. Highlights of the programme. Since 1980 the appeal has raised more than £900 million. Well done, everybody, fantastic stuff. We will have the weather in a little while and also the sport. More than half a million Rohingya Refugees are now thought to have fled myanmar into neighbouring bangladesh because of whats been described by the un as textbook ethnic cleansing. Later on in the programme we will talk to somebody about this and get an idea of what exactly is being done. The myanmar army investigated its own actions and cleared itself of any wrongdoing. But we were we will be talking more about it later. We have seen the pictures on the tv, but what is it like to be there . We will have an explanation shortly. I promised phil would give you a weather update in a few minutes, but he is here earlier than expected. Never too late. Never too early. Dont say that, it depends what the forecast is. Chuckles a beautiful image, not me, of course, it is this, the scene this morning from northumberland. Glorious. It is a decent start across the northern half of britain. The skies are pretty clear. For that we have to thank the fact that we are away from this weather front in the north east and south west. They are providing this low pressure. Wind and the rattle of showers across north east scotland. Elsewhere, decent sunny skies. The decent bit of brightness over Northern Ireland. A stream of showers running away from the North Channel and across the north west at the moment. They will fade with time. What will not in this area of cloud close to that local weather front i was pointing out in the south western quarter. Thats already producing some weather. That will gradually eased to the east. It is fairly light and patchy. Anywhere from the south of wales and into those southern counties and the south west, youve got the greatest chance of seeing cloud and rain. Further north, a sprinkling of showers, but a lot of dry weather. And despite the sunshine not very warm, and despite the sunshine not very warm , seven and despite the sunshine not very warm, seven to 9 degrees. Chance of rain in cardiff and later this afternoon at twickenham. In scotland, clear skies and a chilly evening. Hopefully that will help the scots to do something against new zealand. Overnight, clearskies, safe for the south western quarter. Thatll keep the temperature is up here, but a wide spread frost elsewhere. At least it will be a bright start for many central and eastern parts of the British Isles. Cloudier over Northern Ireland into the early afternoon. We will find rain associated with that cloud pushing in to western scotland, Northern Ireland, and west and wales. Despite the sunshine it wont bea wales. Despite the sunshine it wont be a warm day in the east. Late autumn, i would be a warm day in the east. Late autumn, iwould have be a warm day in the east. Late autumn, i would have said, be a warm day in the east. Late autumn, iwould have said, rather than winter. Thanks very much, you have made your point, it isnt winter. Chuckles thank you, we will see you later. Dr rosena allin khan, a doctor and also the labour mp for tooting, joins us now from bangladesh. Good morning. Good morning. Weve seen good morning. Good morning. Weve seen the pictures on the television over the last few weeks. They are haunting enough. Can you give us a sense of what it is like to be there. What have you got from this already . Its incredibly sad. Im hearing and seeing people who have lived through hell. One hour ago i spoke to an imam who had a village of 3000 people. What he described was seeing all of the women raped, the men killed, and he spoke of babies being thrown alive onto burning fires. Its unlike anything ive ever seen before. Ive spent a long time been a humanitarian doctor and ive never seen anything like this. We are seeing some pictures now of the camps and the way people are going to try and get help. How are going to try and get help. How are they coping with the influx of people who have escaped . They are really overwhelmed. I spent this morning treating patients in a clinic set up by hope, a local charity. There were 3000 Rohingya Muslims here before. Over 600,000 people have come over the last six months. There are projected to be another 200,000 by the end of the year. The scale is astronomical. They are struggling. Everybody is doing what they can but theyjust need more. How can they get more . Is this a case of donations and appeals, or is there an organisational element to this kind of rescue, as well . There needs to bea of rescue, as well . There needs to be a multifaceted approach. First of all, we need to find out exactly what has gone on. People have been skirting around what to call this. Is it ethnic cleansing, genocide . From what i have heard and seen on this trip it sounds like genocide to me. We need, first of all, on a political level, to make sure we go into myanmar, find out what it is and call it what it is. On the ground we need to make sure we support the Bangladeshi Government who have opened their borders and hearts to welcome these refugees. But they cannot really afford it. They dont have the money to provide basic needs for these people. We need to make sure, yes, donations are made, engineers have what they need to provide Services People require. We need to make sure our governments speak to each other. And make sure people put in all they can to help the effort. The army in myanmar has said it is not involved in this at all. It has exonerated itself in some sort of internal investigation and enquiry it has done. What do you make of that . say that is out and out. Ive met people today who have witnessed thousands of people. I met an imam from a village, he had about 3000 residents there, and he left with the shirt on his back. They were hiding ina the shirt on his back. They were hiding in a forest looking at babies and children being thrown alive onto burning fires. Women being dragged by their hair, being raped, the men taken away by their hair, being raped, the men ta ken away and by their hair, being raped, the men taken away and killed. It is the Burmese Military if they are trying to say they have nothing to do with this, it is a lie. Some of the details you are providing our horrific. Some of the story is almost impossible to this morning. Very hard. Are we being too slow . Are we failing to respond to this . In all honesty, yes, i feel we are. Humanity should have no borders. I know all across the world, i have seen know all across the world, i have seen it as a doctor, as a politician, i know there is great need. There are lots of atrocities going on. This one stands out to me because it is entirely avoidable. People are being ethnically cleansed purely because of who they are. The race in which they belong to. It is futile. There is no need for it. We need to step it up. We have to go and speak to the governm
