A.d.m. To get somebody to 9 o'clock this morning coming up in the next hour though how new g.p.s. From Europe to helping solve shortages across the county on the 15 year old she's got a very grown up business head on her shoulders. Radio. At 5 minutes past 7 Good morning Joe Heywood's here great to be with you yeah it'll 9 o'clock and then Jackson will be looking at you until lunchtime now it was a really weird day politically yesterday we're kind of now in this no man's land had of the general election last night Polman was officially dissolved the House of Commons is now empty M.P.'s have officially stood down they are. This no more and all the candidates are now called have hit the campaign trail a new government will be formed of course after the polls close on the evening of December the 12th 5 weeks tomorrow so if the campaign gets officially underway one story over the past 24 hours has already dominated the agenda looks like people are sharing this massively on face but we know that what makes people share things on Facebook is things that make them emotional things that make them angry and you know it's easy to see why people might get angry about Camelot even compared to sort of you know new news what's going on in the campaign or a new speaker this is the thing that people are sharing the most of the moment well that's so he's a reporter for b.b.c. Trending which is a department that we have within the b.b.c. Which looks really closely at the online stories which are trending and checks out the truth and the facts behind them he's talking about this story is also all across traditional print media as well this morning all over the front pages criticizing the leader of the House of Commons Jacob Reese mall after he appeared to suggest that people living in the Grenfell tower should have used common sense on the night of the fire and left the burning tower block Here's what he actually said during an interview on Al b.c. The tragedy came about because of the cladding. Leading to the far racing of the building and then was compounded by the state put policy and. It seems to me that that is the tragedy of it that the more one's read over the weekend about the reporting about the chances of people surviving if you just ignore what you were told and leave you are so much safer and. I think if either of us written for one of our brigades we would leave the burning building it just seems the common sense thing to do and it is such a tragedy that that didn't happen so that's exactly what he said and how he said it and how that has been interpreted has been taken in different ways by different publications online and in print the Guardian for example says recent condemned over remarks on Grenfell the ice says recent all granted by Tories in the metro quotes crime are to storm z. Who is calling for him to quit now past the direct Wilson he's from the tabernacle Christian Center which is right close to the site of Grantham grand fell he's been talking about this too he actually turned his church in to help the survivors shortly after the disaster you remember 72 people died in that fire engine 2017 commonly just had an injury really to the survivor celebrity family and actually also. What was spoken by Mr Rhys Mark not really thinking after all of the pain and. Suffering that they are already going fruit and had more injuries just so insensitive and just heartbreaking really so in response to all this reaction to what he said Jacob recently has apologized and he said is what he said is what I meant to say is that I would also have listened to the fabricated lies to stay in white the time however with what we know now and with hindsight I wouldn't and I don't think anyone else would I would hate to upset the people of Grenfell if I was unclear. In my comments so that's what he then went on to say to defend himself however under a bridge and who is the conservative candidate for North West less to share has also got himself into trouble as he attempted to defend his friend and fellow Tory Jacob recently he spoke to Radio 4 last night about this and was talking to the presenter Evan Davis Have a listen to what he said and how it went do you think he meant to say that he thought he would not have stayed put That's what he meant to say that's what he meant to say about going away that is exactly what people object to which is easy in effect saying I wouldn't have died because I would have been cleverer than the people who took the fire brigades advice. But we want very clever people running the country don't we have and that's a byproduct of what Jacob is and that's why he's in a in a position of all sorts of what he's actually saying is he would have made a better decision than the author of the figures who gave that advice but I can assure you there was absolutely no malice and no I mean he's a he's one of the most compassionate and sought full politicians we've got. So there we are that bridge in the candidates northwest to share defending Jacob Reese mug there b.b.c. Trending is well worth a look because what they do is they take stories like this stuff which is go mad online which has gone viral and is being talked about and shared on a massive basis and then goes Woah and then it strips it all back and investigates exactly what the starts of a tweet or a text or something is and then digs into it and finds out the truth about it and then you can read it for yourself it's really well worth looking up it's on the b.b.c. Website it's called b.b.c. Trending we've got 5 weeks tomorrow until the election this is a and chilly day one after the dissolution of parliament so we may have a little bit more of this kind of thing to come I have the next 5 weeks and one day you are listening to breakfast on b.b.c.

Are both impassable and closed due to flood in and looking for an orc coming down this road bend it is just like a lake in front of me the road close. In both directions in Mt Sorrell that's because of flooding at tween last breath and flash lane and of course flash lane remains impassable as well some good so if you're coming through don't. Run I guess what flashing shot again this morning as well it's very prone to the wet weather and it's not the only place and of course when a road floods and it only has to be one small road in an area the knock on can be a nightmare concept particularly at busy times now across the south side of the river saw work is now underway to try and stop the flooding that is just plaguing people there it's costing 15000000 pounds and it's to try and improve the situation around Nabila and I'll stand some of which is is really prone to problems we sent Joe Hollis long to go take a look there's a big puddle in front of me and some trees that have been felled and it's all part of this flood levy ations came in I'm joined by Alex McDonald in your project manager for the Environment Agency Yes So can you explain to me what you're trying to do here so this is one of the sites in the last around here where we're piloting natural flood management so it's all about trying to emulate natural processes and here we've got what woodland area within our parks nature is where we've been working with the Wildlife Trust and we're following a select number of trees to try and direct more of the water from the river saw into the wet woodland area and to hold it within that area for longer so this would be all like a sort of big sponge would it for the too much water that's coming into the area in effect at sea idea so way for the past years to nature a surface experience drying out and sat on top of some peak which is also drying out and that's been affecting the repaired habitat and the woodland habitat within the earth so the idea is that we can have a couple of wins one for the ecology and the function of nature is of interest try and humps what's there in the habitat for all of the water. Trees crest snakes birds that live here but also to try and see if we can slow the flow of water back into the river saw and China Sea we can take that peak off the floods when they hit last if that's the idea but we're piloting this approach so it's a bit of a test case in Marcio here as well what's your role. With the Environment Agency is designing an environmental consultant on this project so we've been working with Environment Agency now for about 10 months scoping out a lot of sites in the office or catchment look at their suitability for these kind of natural flood monitoring measures so is the idea that the water comes here instead of reaching the the Sobota populations the water's always going to reach areas like this but in terms of what we're doing here it's about slowing the progression of the flood flowers so a lot of the measures we're implementing or to trip the flour on the floor playing to slow that fly and to store it in preferential areas that Mari with the needs of the nature reserve here so fun to firsthand Alex who got this sort of big puddle and we've walked through lots of bog areas what do you practically have to do now so with them already felt a couple of trees we've got a few more today and then within this woodland area we've got a cut of lot of riches in for race where they used to be use for growing beds but that's channeling a lot of water line escape quite quickly from the nature reserve as well so one of the tasks that we've got today this week is we're making some wood to put with in there and flurries to hold the water in Nat'l longer so that fast the tops for the rest of the week How difficult has it been for me not to get some figures from you guys this morning that we've had 137 millimeters of rain in October how difficult has it been working in this weather yeah it's pretty hard trying to 2nd guess what the river is going to Dave it's been now a lot out of its bank before we started the works and which is trying to have to be flexible with what we. I in trying to work around it and I guess it must be quite dangerous when it reaches a certain level yeah definitely for working within it so that's where we're just making the call on the day and trying to see whether it's safe to do the work so it might take a little bit longer than we originally thought but that's just how as now we are so just an example of some of the work that is underway at the moment to try and stop the flooding in the worst of the hotspots Richard will be here as I say with the weather forecast in about 5 minutes time not looking great you will need the brolly again. To try and stop some of that wet stuff rising where you are it's 18 minutes past 7 if you want to smile on your face this morning or or rather you want to surprise yourself head to the b.b.c. Website and you will find of the 5th all 6 of the most read stories this morning actually concerns a picture it was taken by Essex police if you've ever gone to a big furniture store you know the one the m one junction 28 Swedish brand and you've decided you seen something anything great so I'm going to buy that and it might be a large bit of furniture and you got all excited and you've taken out of the store and you look at you and then you look at you you look at you Charlie they look at again and then you look at your trolley and then you realize that you're not actually going to be able to get what you bore into the back of your car well that didn't stop one driver attempting to get his goods home he was driving in a b.m.w. With the roof down and has managed to wedge a double bed in the back seat so what he's done he's got to end up and slightly over to the left so that the corner of the bed is wedged in the back seat is put the frame underneath you know he thought about this in order to give it a little bit of a good base a good solid base than the mattress is on top and it's not even tied on it's just waged in in this backseat it's a double mattress and a double bass and just a little a little sports car you have to see it to believe it is. Well worth a look I've never seen anything like it. The correctible was stopped by the police it was driving along with this thing it wasn't even parked up the officers were patrolling between culture and battled on and said that they stopped it because it was carrying an insecurity I think that's an understatement they said that the female driver told them doesn't need to be tied in it's wedged in so it's Ok You know that's all right then people responded in disbelief calling it beyond a joke absolutely baffling the Essex Police operational support didn't actually say I will action was taken against the driver but it was causing a danger and a car loaded up like that can result in a fine of 100 pounds so there you go take a don't wedge a double bite into the back of your sports car because you could get into a lot of bother going to get that picture it's hilarious listening to breakfast on b.b.c. Radio less than 20 minutes past 7 where the roads looking here Sharon with all the details thank you Joe and sauce and you find a section of one road has been closed that's new to the hope it on purpose to to an unsafe tree we should be cleared later today it's not looking too bad around the city so far this morning but 7 trapped water are working on lots with roads and it's a plantation Avenue where cars expected to be completed in the next couple of days and joining those works the bus lane will be out of operation so for now we'll have more for you in 20 minutes. And. She's watching the skies this morning it's looking lovely to start with sort of crisp and cool what are we in for them yeah it is going to be staying pretty cool if not chilly as we go through the care because today temperatures really starting to get higher than 7 or 8 degrees Celsius or this afternoon but at least we've got that sunshine to start things off through this morning a lovely dry and bright start of things through the morning period but cloud will be building as we head towards the latter stages of this morning and through the soft. The weather is somewhat weather on the way some showers tearing into prolong spells of rain as we make our way through this afternoon and into this evening as well gradually turning a little bit drier through the 1st half of tonight but by the 2nd half more rain is back with us as a 2nd band of rain pushes up from the south looks like we're going to see that rain through to the early hours it's morrow morning and said Just dropping down to about 4 or 5 degrees Celsius so not quite as cold as it feels 1st thing this morning through tomorrow still a chilly start to the day though that rain could just linger as we go through the course of tomorrow morning and into tomorrow afternoon so you could be a fair amount of rain throughout the course of Thursday gradually it will begin to sink away but down to the south say gradually turning drier and potentially a bit brighter towards the end of the afternoon or I think it will probably stay largely wet as you make our way through Thursday afternoon into Thursday evening with temperatures stayed up at 7 or 8 degrees Celsius Ok Thank you Rich I really got it wrong this morning totally blew it when it came to read the what weather what I did I didn't realize it's going to ice over over through the night so let's go into the car and realize I was already running about 3 or 4 minutes late everything's times to the 2nd in the mornings and it just threw me off course completely couldn't see a thing out of the windscreen and didn't go out on my ice scraper that's in the back of the shed somewhere along with the screen wash covered in an ice spider webs and in a dusty corner somewhere so I had to rummage through my purse and find a college that I didn't mind getting a bit knackered really offended and of course old. Guard striping I saw the windscreen fessing this morning cursing as I went and then had to wait for about 15 minutes before the steam went off the window that was my morning that was how it rolls but I
