6:01 am
audacious drop goals. good morning from newcastle, where, in around five hours, around 60,000 people will be lining up your to take part in this year's great north run. good morning. the september heatwave continues and today is likely to be the seventh consecutive day with temperatures above 30 degrees. but with the heat and humidity, is the threat of thunderstorms. they could be torrential and bring flash flooding at times. i will have all the details shortly. good morning. at least 2,000 people have been killed in a devastating earthquake in morocco. a further 2,000 more have been injured, and the authorities have declared three days of national mourning. the quake struck in a remote area in the atlas mountains — around 45 miles south of marrakesh, a popular tourist destination. 0ur correspondent,
6:02 am
nick beake, has this report. first, the panic as they run for their lives. then the chaos, as debris rains down and dust consumes the streets. this is marrakesh in the moments after the quake. late night diners flee their tables. at the mosque, screams, as the tower seems to sway. first, the panic as they run for their lives. but doesn't succumb. but many other buildings in the city crumbled. they'd stood for hundreds of years, and collapsed in seconds. but it is in the atlas mountains where there is the greatest damage. and the greatest loss of life. in the province of al haouz, more than 500 now confirmed dead. isolated communities hard to reach, with roads broken and blocked. in marrakesh, we saw the damage there, and found those trying
6:03 am
to prise their possessions from the wreckage. youssef tells us he was sitting with friends and then suddenly dust fell from the sky. "then everything came down," he says. "all we could think of was to run." with no power, and no phone signal, many decide to take shelter out in the open, fearful there could be aftershocks. translation: the force - and intensity of this earthquake was felt in our building almost three times. people went out into the street just after this total panic. and there are families who are still sleeping outside. to the south of the epicentre, hands and hammers tackle the rubble. no official help here. further west, there were teams of rescuers searching for families still trapped in their homes.
6:04 am
back in marrakesh, this is the medina, the ancient part of the city, a symbol of morocco's history, shaken and the future for thousands now uncertain. nick beake, bbc news, marrakesh. we'rejoined now from marrakesh by our correspondent anna holligan. anna, bring us up to date on the situation there? we're in the heart of the medina, the old city, unesco world heritage site. you can seen behind me the mask. you will be familiar to this building if you have been to maragos. it is in the middle of the main square. if we show you the extent of the damage here. it is surrounded by rubble. some of the cars are also covered in rubble. as we were driving in here we passed thousands of families camping out
6:05 am
for a second night. they have blankets slung over the tops of palm trees for shelter. but most of their belongings have been left at home because they are afraid of aftershocks. it is a slightly surreal scene here. around this square there are still bars and restaurants opening and hoping for business. those aftershocks, they sent tourists and residents fleeing for safety. the search and rescue teams are focusing their efforts elsewhere in those mountainous regions where it is thought hundreds of people may still be trapped in neath the rubble. it is hoped they can still reach survivors in time, and the red cross has warned it could take years to repair this damage. many thanks indeed for that. anna holligan with the latest. we will be hearing from those involved in the rescue effort and localjournalists later. for now though, let's find out what else is happening today with victoria. thank you.
6:06 am

6:08 am
what went on during those four days. khalife will likely now face further charges at some point in addition to the ones he was already facing. you will probably be transferred to belmarsh prison, a category a prison in south—east london. the prime minister has said he was pleased to hear of the arrest but questions remain, notjust about his escape, which there is an investigation into, but another investigation into the categorisation, why he was in a class b and not a class a prison in the first place. thank you. two men have been arrested under the official secrets act. the sunday times reports that one of them is a parliamentary researcher in his 20s who is accused of spying for china. he and another man in his 30s were arrested in march, the metropolitan police says it's searched three addresses. the second day of the g20 summit has started with a ceremony at the memorial of mahatma gandhi, india's independence leader. world leaders have already issued a joint declaration condemning the war in ukraine, but faced criticism after failing to mention russian aggression.
6:09 am
the final session of the summit will focus on transformative technologies. relatives of the father of 10—year—old sara sharif have been detained for questioning by police in pakistan. urfan sharif, and his partner beinash batool, fled the uk for pakistan after sara was found dead at the family home in woking last month. ten close relatives have been taken into custody for questioning and an investigation. a mountain rescue volunteer who was badly injured while trying to help wild campers who had broken lockdown restrictions, has died. chris lewis, a member of the patterdale mountain rescue team in the lake district, was left with severe damage to his spine. the campers, from liverpool and leicester, were both fined £200. prince harry opened the invictus games last night in dusseldorf, where 550 injured military personnel from 21 nations will compete. today, competitors will take part in athletics, wheelchair rugby
6:10 am
and powerlifting events. the met office says a temperature of 33.2 celsius was recorded at kew gardens in london, making yesterday, the hottest day of the year so far. it's also the sixth day in a row the uk has recorded a temperature above 30 degrees, and comes as more storm warnings are in place until later this evening. here's greg mackenzie. the hottest day of the year, as temperatures peaked at 33 celsius yesterday, making it the sixth day in a row that some parts of the uk basked in scorching temperatures. and when the sun comes out, so do the crowds, with some businesses hotting up, like here on the south coast. the sunshine comes after the sixth wettestjuly on record, and a somewhat patchy august but it was kew gardens in london which saw
6:11 am
the highest temperature — this met office tweet showing the temperature peaking at 33.2 celsius, making that the warmest day of the year. the current heatwave is the longest run of 30 celsius september days on record. and while some hide indoors, others take to lakes across the country, like these people in denham. it is just so refreshing. we, actually... my husband and i live in london and it is a busy week and very hot and we get a moment of relief when we pop into the water. half an hour drive out, you feel like you are in complete nature, it is gorgeous. there is certainly a difference in car park availability on a day like today, compared to early october when the water is seven degrees. i would take a day like this over one of those anytime. scientists claim heatwaves have become more frequent, more intense, and last longer, because of human—induced climate change.
6:12 am
but you know, as the saying goes, all good things come to an end. the met office have issued a yellow weather warning for thunderstorms for most of northern ireland, parts of northern england and wales and parts of southern scotland from mid—afternoon today until tonight. greg mckenzie, bbc news. it has been very toasty. lovely. a perfect garden weather. if you're lucky enough to have a garden. 0r lucky enough to have a garden. or the park nearby. i lucky enough to have a garden. or the park nearby.— lucky enough to have a garden. or the park nearby. i suppose so. i was stuck on a — the park nearby. i suppose so. i was stuck on a train _ the park nearby. i suppose so. i was stuck on a train for _ the park nearby. i suppose so. i was stuck on a train for several - the park nearby. i suppose so. i was stuck on a train for several hours. i stuck on a train for several hours. enjoy the view, the beautiful sun kissed hills and fields as you pass. let's speak to sarah with the weather. good morning. yes, it splits opinion, this hot weather. some people love it, other people are keen to see the back of it. today we
6:13 am
have another hot and humid day. but we have got those thundery downpours in the forecast. eventually that will introduce something a little bit cooler and fresher, particularly over the next couple of days. but if we just think about the past six days, we have seen temperatures in the uk somewhere above 30 degrees. yesterday, the peak of the heat, 33.2 celsius at kew gardens. now today, i think we were not possibly be up to 30 degrees, but we are likely to see the seventh day in a row of temperatures above 30 degrees. really exceptional and record—breaking for this date in september. we have a slow—moving weather front. september. we have a slow—moving weatherfront. in the next september. we have a slow—moving weather front. in the next couple of days it moves its way south. it will introduce cooler air. the heat and humidity will get cleared towards the near continent. 0pening humidity will get cleared towards the near continent. opening the doors for something to come in from the north. in the past few hours we have seen heavy rain spinning across the south of bingen, parts of south wales. thundery in nature. if you are taking part in the great north run today, it should be dry during
6:14 am
the morning. the chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms. it will feel hot and humid and muggy as it will do for much of the uk again today. those heavy downpours push their way gradually further north. through parts of wales, the midlands, centraland through parts of wales, the midlands, central and southern england. they could catch an odd rumble of thunder in the morning. in the afternoon they will become heavier. there will be some sunshine returning to the isle of wight. some of these showers, through parts of northern ireland in particular, could be heavy and thundery. a lot of rain in a short space of time could bring localised flash flooding. there will be some sunshine through central scotland and temperatures here generally in the low 20s in the north. 3i, and temperatures here generally in the low 20s in the north. 31, 32 down towards east anglia and the south—east again. so, the heat, humidity, sticks around in the south. the thunderstorms will push further south this evening. —— north. more persistent rain sinks south across scotland. a fresher
6:15 am
night in parts of scotland. for many of us again, quite muggy, quite humid, not as warm as it has been over the past couple of nights. some places didn't drop below 20 degrees last night. into tomorrow, we have still got that band of rain. could be thundery. could be thunderstorms pushing through. that is the dividing line between the fresher air in the north and west. still quite hot and humid air in the north and west. still quite hotand humid in air in the north and west. still quite hot and humid in the south—east. 27, 20 8 degrees. certainly not of the 30 degrees mark that we have seen recently. so, yes, cooler weather on the way from tuesday onwards. it will be a mix of sunshine and showers through the week ahead. i suppose some people will be relieved to see those little drops of rain on the outlook. thank you. rescue teams are racing to find survivors trapped in the rubble of flattened villages following the earthquake that struck morocco late on friday. the death toll now stands at more than 2,000. joining us now from marrakesh is moroccan

6:17 am
is certainly a survivor. and i spoke to other people who showed me the collapse in their houses. they had no electricity, no water. but the good thing about it, there is a huge campaign of solidarity in morocco and outside morocco with the victims. as you said in your introduction, more than 2000... more than 2012 people died. the injured toll so far as 2059. more than 1000 are in a critical situation. and today i understand there will be a field hospital that will be
6:18 am
operational if the rumours are correct or we are correct, king mohammed the 16th himself is expected to come to this area to see by himself at this operation of rescue is going on. stand by himself at this operation of rescue is going on.— by himself at this operation of rescue is going on. and when you look at the _ rescue is going on. and when you look at the damage _ rescue is going on. and when you look at the damage that - rescue is going on. and when you look at the damage that has - rescue is going on. and when you j look at the damage that has been caused, some of the incredible lucky escapes that you have described, there will be people in that situation, but the death toll now stands at 2000 people. how are the rescue efforts going? presumably there is an urgency to try to find anybody else who is still alive but may be trapped? the anybody else who is still alive but may be trapped?— anybody else who is still alive but may be trapped? the moroccan army has been mobilised _ may be trapped? the moroccan army has been mobilised for— may be trapped? the moroccan army has been mobilised for this. - may be trapped? the moroccan army has been mobilised for this. and - has been mobilised for this. and when we were on our way to marrakesh we saw many, many trucks and minivans —— many vans carrying
6:19 am
soldiers from across morocco rushing to this area. as i said before, morocco witnessed a serious earthquake nearly 20 years ago, actually. it was 200a. it was in the north of the country on the mediterranean coast. i think that moroccan rescue teams have learnt a lot from this earthquake 20 years ago. and now they are very experienced. not only the army, but the medics, the paramedics, everybody is mobilised here. there is a huge campaign for blood collection 0liver morocco. and the moroccans are giving their blood everywhere, many of the big cities like marrakesh, casablanca and rabat. definitely there is huge solidarity with the victims here in this area. ., ., ., ,

6:21 am
can see people putting the finishing touches to the start line. we will find out more about that later. but first, this is the first year that the great north run has got back to some form of normality. i have been finding out what has been happening over the past couple of years. this is what the start of the great north run should look like. but the last time it happened was back in 2019. in 2020, runners didn't let their training go to waste, though, when the pandemic saw the event cancelled. in what became known as the virtual great north run, people ran their own 13.1 mile routes wherever they were in the world. in 2021, a great north run of sorts happened. the much loved course, which usually starts on newcastle's central motorway, crosses the tyne bridge and then ends in south shields, had to be changed to meet covid rules. the temporary circular route starting in waves this time from the city's town mall. then last year, the event, which attracts tens of thousands of runners who wear fancy dress
6:22 am
and raise funds for various charities, became a far more somber affair following the death of her majesty the queen just days before. now here we are after 2019, four years later, back to the original hopeful, hopefully peaceful, hopefully not too warm, hopefully thousands of people. and i'm sure the crowds will be amazing. and i hope the event goes off, as we hope it will with no incidents, no issues, no problems. we've worked hard for it. you can see the planning is well under way and the organisation is well under way. so fingers crossed. or that, isn't it? as well as seeing a return to normality this year, the event is special in another way. it's the race that will be long distance runner sir mo farah's last as he retires from the sport. suddenly it's just started to hit me with the amount of support, amount of people coming up to me saying to me, "good luck, mo, your last one, last one."
6:23 am
and you sleep on it. and when i woke up this morning, definitely felt quite emotional. iamjoined i am joined now byjames steele, the start director. the man looking after this bit of the course. what goes into making it all happen? well, at least 12 months of planning. we are constantly looking at how _ planning. we are constantly looking at how to _ planning. we are constantly looking at how to improve stuff year on year _ at how to improve stuff year on year and — at how to improve stuff year on year. and then, an army of people. a lot of— year. and then, an army of people. a lot of infrastructure. the start line itsetf— lot of infrastructure. the start line itself is possibly eight or miles— line itself is possibly eight or miles long, that type of stock. no 5matt— miles long, that type of stock. no small feat — miles long, that type of stock. no small feat. we are on here for 21 hours _ small feat. we are on here for 21 hours a — small feat. we are on here for 21 hours a day, _ small feat. we are on here for 21 hours a day, i think. you mentioned before, _ hours a day, i think. you mentioned before, it _ hours a day, i think. you mentioned before, it is — hours a day, i think. you mentioned before, it is usually a motorway. it is. before, it is usually a motorway. it is we _ before, it is usually a motorway. it is we are — before, it is usually a motorway. it is. we are here for 21 hours. then we see _ is. we are here for 21 hours. then we see the — is. we are here for 21 hours. then we see the runners off, take it down and clear— we see the runners off, take it down and clear off. yeah, it is a big planning _ and clear off. yeah, it is a big planning process. then the delivery

6:27 am
england fans after that remarkable, unexpected performance and win against argentina in their opening world cup match, because if you give them a chance going into the game giving theirform. after them a chance going into the game giving their form. after three minutes they had a man sent off. but in a sense that almost galvanised them. napoleon hasjust turned up, impressed by england's performance. that galvanised them. remarkably, it was all about the kicking skills of george ford, who kicked all 27 points for england in their 27—10 win over argentina. dan roan was watching. rarely, if ever, has an england team begun a world cup amid such low expectations. the fans still believed, although many of them faced long queues in a rush to get inside the stade velodrome. after a dismal build up, england were desperate to prove a point in their biggest game for years. instead the worst possible start. tom curryjust back from injury but almost immediately sent to the sin bin for this.
6:28 am
a few minutes later the card upgraded to red on review. tom curry is gone. but rather than fold, england dug deep into reserves of defiance. three brilliant drop goals from george ford, giving his team an unlikely nine point lead. england's herculean defence was refusing to buckle. the sensational ford was having a night to remember, continuing to punish argentina's ill discipline with kick after kick and a stunning 27 points. the pre—match favourites struggling to make sense of it all. magnificent england, completing a remarkable victory that they'd been craving. this has been england at their big—hearted best. a morale boosting win then for england when they needed it most. and one that will give them so much confidence that they can now progress deep into this tournament. although there will be questions for the organisers over why so many fans faced long delays getting inside the stadium here. earlier in boiling bordeaux, ireland got their campaign off to a sizzling start, racking up 12 tries and 82 points in a rout of minnows romania.

returning captainjohnny sexton crossing twice. this a record win at the world cup by the competition's top ranked team, although much tougher tests await. dan roan, bbc news, marseille. dan touched on it there. the issue for some of the fans getting into the stadium. there was a delay getting through the security checks. world rugby have issued a statement to say they are listening to fans and will try to make sure that the fan explains is better going forward. scotland and wales have huge games today. wales are in bordeaux where they take on fiji later. before that, you're in marseille, what an opening for scotland. they play the world champions, scotland. —— south africa. a huge buzz around here. they were in great spirits during the england game and i met some of them. # 0h, flower of scotland # when will we see your likes again...?"
6:30 am
i think we've got a chance. you know, we're a good team, we're playing well. why not? rugby brings people together. forges friendships. the girls on tour met back in 2011, in new zealand. they've been to every world cup scotland game since. what a story. imean... oh, it was amazing. we actually all went separately to new zealand for the rugby world cup. love rugby, and then all met, had such a good time. we've met so much time since, and this is our fourth world cup together and forged massive friendships. just love it. with these girls it's always going to be amazing, because we have done, i said, four world cups, every single international game together. the atmosphere of everything — everybody, all the fans, are loving each other. l amazing. different nationalities. it's brilliant. _ for rugby fans, these squares in marseilles really are heaven, because they've got so many different theme pubs on every corner. fans of all the nations — scotland friends here, looking forward
6:31 am
to what are the biggest games of this tournament so far? yeah, massive game. massive game. i don't know if we've got much chance, but we'll be having a good day anyway. it's all about the experience. what's it like? the port's just out there, all the fans together? it'sjust so nice that the rugby community is coming together. it doesn't matter what country you're from, we're all having a great time speaking to everyone. so, yes, the atmosphere isjust electric. people have spent years looking for the loch ness monster. we have found it with the loch ness pub, and it is full of partying scots fa ns. the loch ness monster's coming for south africa! 0h, hold on, hold on... you have something to say about that. are you worried? no. not at all. easy peasy, lemon squeezy. he has not worried. i wonder if my new south african friends i have found are, the loch ness monster is lacking in marseille to come and get

6:34 am
shown all our cards just yet. so, i think it's a case of cup rugby, take all the points on offer, kick to the corners, good chase game, good defence, fingers crossed, we'll take it, we'll take it. i'm still very confident. fiji have obviously been very good recently. - but, you know, with gats at - the wheel, i think we're chilling. being a welsh fan you live through the highs and the lows. but gatland will get us there. he has trained them. he's got them to really a level that's going to be different from the six nations. i think we're going to winn. there is the thought of the wales fans in bordeaux. england are not quite there at the euros next year, germany 202a, after being held to a draw by ukraine. this was in poland. arsenal's 0leksandr zinchenko put the ukrainians ahead before kyle walker equalised with his first goal for england
6:35 am
on his 77th appearance. ukraine were backed by a0,000 of their own fans in wroclaw, being unable to play in their own country because of the war with russia. they were very happy to get a point. american teenager coco gauff is the new us open champion after a remarkable victory over aryna sabalenka in new york. the 19—year—old came from a set down to wow the home support. she clinched a 2—6, 6—3, 6—2 win against sabalenka who had been looking to win her second grand slam title of the year. gauff was overcome with emotion as she won the first major title of her career. sometimes people have different personalities and some people need to shut off the comments and not look at them but i'm an argumentative person. i'm very stubborn, my parents know, they know i like to, they tell me one thing, i like to do the other. so i really told myself...
6:36 am
literally up until like ten minutes before the match, i was just reading comments of people saying i wasn't going to win today. and thatjust put the fire in me. what a story from the us open, the men's final is today. that is it the now from marseille, the sun is about to come up, it's going to get hot, so i am going to go get a cup of tea with my fans, infine so i am going to go get a cup of tea with my fans, in fine voice, some see shanties. with my fans, in fine voice, some see shanties— with my fans, in fine voice, some see shanties. good morning, hello. oh, no, see shanties. good morning, hello. oh. no. like. _ see shanties. good morning, hello. oh, no, like, near— see shanties. good morning, hello. oh, no, like, near the _ see shanties. good morning, hello. oh, no, like, near the water! - see shanties. good morning, hello. | oh, no, like, near the water! where oh, no, like, nearthe water! where have you been, mike, they have been ready to set sail, they have been waiting for you! i ready to set sail, they have been waiting for you!— ready to set sail, they have been waiting for you! i have will be back in time for — waiting for you! i have will be back in time for 7pm. _ waiting for you! i have will be back in time for 7pm. -- _ waiting for you! i have will be back in time for 7pm. -- four _ waiting for you! i have will be back in time for 7pm. -- four 7am. - waiting for you! i have will be back in time for 7pm. -- four 7am. i i waiting for you! i have will be back. in time for 7pm. -- four 7am. i hope so, in time for 7pm. -- four 7am. i hope so. enjoy — in time for 7pm. -- four 7am. i hope so. enjoy your _ in time for 7pm. -- four 7am. i hope so, enjoy your cruise _ in time for 7pm. -- four 7am. i hope so, enjoy your cruise around - in time for 7pm. -- four 7am. i hope so, enjoy your cruise around the - so, enjoy your cruise around the harbour! ., ., ., ,,
6:37 am
harbour! how wonderful, making the most of it. when _ harbour! how wonderful, making the most of it. when in _ harbour! how wonderful, making the most of it. when in marseille! - most of it. when in marseille! talking about places to escape to... now it's time for the travel show. thailand's landscapes are like something from a dream... ah! imean... i mean, look at this. this is absolutely stunning! ..from dazzling coastlines to lush countryside and wildlife that will take your breath away. visions of paradise that in normal times attract more than 30 million of us every year. but that weight of numbers isn't necessarily good news for this country's fragile natural heritage. the boats are disturbing the sediment and that also harms a lot of the coral reef in this area. as far as caves go, this one is very impressive. oh, it's like paradise. there's so much to explore. we should preserve this.
6:38 am
this week, i'm in thailand, one of asia's most visited destinations, to ask — might its staggering beauty be one of its biggest challenges? this is the andaman sea. it runs along thailand's west coast and i'm about an hour offshore, on the hunt for the perfect, perfect beach. if you're looking for somewhere picture—postcard pretty, you'll be wanting this stretch of coastline. it's all the cliches — palm trees, emerald seas and lovely stretches of sand. this is the thailand i've been waiting for. this.
6:39 am
i'm getting off at maya bay. it's famous for its attention—grabbing role in the hollywood movie, the beach, starring leonardo dicaprio. in it, the characters hear rumours of a totally secluded and unspoilt paradise. the movie's success brought sightseers in their thousands. so, i came here around 2015, so about eight years ago, and, honestly, all i can remember isjust seeing so many boats, just boats upon boats, that really... you couldn't really see the water, you couldn't appreciate the colours. there were people, so many people, on the beach. there was quite a lot of rubbish as well. and ijust remember leaving, feeling quite deflated. in 2018, it all got too much and the bay was finally shut.
6:40 am
there were four years of intensive conservation work and this january, it was reopened with new rules. boats are banned in the bay and swimming in the sea is strictly forbidden. there's lots of rules and restrictions in place here. how did you feel about them when you discovered them? i understand it. i understand why there's, like, rules and why there's, like, a fee that you need to pay to maintain how beautiful this bay is. i totally understand that. just, i didn't expect a beach where you're not allowed to swim. water is actually greenish—blue. we have never seen this colour of water anywhere. and it's a good thing that you are trying to save that. you are not allowing swimming or any such thing over here and trying to save the marine life. at the peak of its popularity, around a,000 people a day would come to this beach, but all that activity killed off 90% of the coral and saw off the blacktip reef sharks that mate here. may has spent the last six months
6:41 am
monitoring the shark populations to see what happens now tourists are allowed back. they are using this area to hide from the bigger ones that are like in the deeper area. yeah. so, that's why ask people not to swim, because then, the baby sharks have a safety area. we have seen a lot of them coming back, so we have counted, like, the highest number is 161 sharks. wow! yeah, in november 2021. yeah, it's really nice. what was the problem with the tourists and the sharks? the boats are disturbing the sediment here and that also harms a lot of the coral reef in this area, so after the ecosystem kind of deteriorate... yes.
6:42 am
..the shark is not coming in because the fish is not here. the tech may uses is pretty simple — a bag of mashed—up fish and a camera attached to a metal frame. and then, it's just a case of finding a good spot. we are about to put the camera down to film the shark for one hour. so, we do this four times a day, so that we can get, like, a behaviour data and also photo identification. 0k. yeah. we want to get a good photo of the dorsal fin and also, we want to see what they're doing underwater. yeah. so, are theyjust cruising around, like, passing by, or are they attracted to the bait, or are they start nibbling on the bait? oh, there we go. none of them are going for the food yet, though. is that because this isn't...
6:43 am
you said they feed more at night, right? yeah. if it's night—time, they are really crazy. yeah. so, some of them take a long time to come close. and some of them are really fast. we can see that each of them have personality and then, when we photo id them, different months, we can see if the same one comes back. are you hoping that the strict regulations, they stay in place and they're enforced for the foreseeable future? yes. i really hope that. that would be for the greater good of the sharks and your research. and also for the harmony between people and nature. yeah. but despite what's happened here,
6:44 am
thailand is hoping to double its visitor numbers in the next four years and i can't help but wonder how these beauty spots will cope. a good proportion of those new arrivals will pass, like me, through this place along the way. get out the road! yes! skipping traffic, that's what i like to see. it's no secret that the traffic here in bangkok has been awful for years and it's not that uncommon for drivers to be stuck in traffic or trapped for hours, as they crawl their way through the city and as a result, the pollution here can get quite bad. to encourage more people off the roads, the city's about to expand its public transport system. work�*s beginning on new lines for the skytrain and on the edge of the city, a vast, newly—opened international railway station. i'm not actually surprised i'm lost because this is the biggest train
6:45 am
station in southeast asia. as far as stations go, its huge, sterile, loads of air—con. right, platform four. where are you? billions of dollars is being spent on new rail links, primarily into china. but wherever you're going, a journey on the trains here represents value for money. so, a first class ticket will set you back 222 bahts. that's just under £5. and it's so cheap, considering you're getting around seven hours' travel out of it. but there's no air—con and the seats are pretty hard, so you have been warned. there are second class options, if you want a bit more comfort though. some of the more popular routes include chiang mai to bangkok and bangkok to the southern beach resorts. you can even go international. so, east to laos and cambodia, and even as far as malaysia and singapore.
6:46 am
but i'm jumping off at a stop that will get me within easy reach of thailand's lush countryside. i've arrived in a province called surin, which, as you can probably tell, is pretty rural and remote, but it's also home to some pretty special residents. surin is the spiritual home of the mahouts, or elephant handlers. around a quarter of all the country's domesticated population are said to come from here. saeb used to work in the northern city of chiang mai, charging people for rides. hi, saeb! i want the tour. you've got to show me around. so, what's this big fella's name, then? ekasit. and how old is he? 38.
6:47 am
38! is that quite old in elephant years? yeah, yeah. so, shall we get more food? he's running out. wow! he's a big guy. eats a lot. during covid, when attractions shut, ekasit and saebjoined hundreds of others in making the long journey back to surin, where institutions have been set up to give mahouts
6:48 am
a salary and free veterinary care. being very careful. so, what do you get from living here? in total, more than 3,000 elephants are put to work at tourist attractions around the country. charities say many are routinely mistreated. here, there's more peace, space and support for saeb, but ekasit is still chained to the floor. saeb says that it's too dangerous to remove ekasit�*s chains, due to his sheer size. ekasit is happy? you know, he's in the same
6:49 am
place for a long time, but is he a happy elephant? saeb seems like such a nice person, who clearly loves his elephant, but you know, so many people come here and pay to ride one through thejungle, or watch them paint, or even play football. now, many organisations warn against that, so the rule of thumb, they say, is to avoid any situation that involves an elephant performing for a paying customer. saeb told me that one of the main reasons he came here was because he can get treatment for his elephant. it looks a bit like a garage for elephants! they exchange greetings
6:50 am
so, which one of you is the vet? yeah. you're the vet. hi! nice to meet you. nice to meet you too. i'm lucy. i'm nat. great to meet you. i'm going to guess here. broken leg? yeah. yes. and how did he... how did that happen? and is it hard for him to walk now? so, a lot of the elephants that came in during covid, you know, have come from quite busy tourist cities, you know, some of them in quite inhumane conditions. what were some of the problems that they had?
6:51 am
just before i leave, i wanted to go and see saeb bathe his elephant, a daily ritualfor him in his retirement.
6:52 am
i can't help but feeljust a little conflicted. seeing them in chains really is quite hard to witness. some tour companies have stopped advertising trips involving interaction with elephants, saying the only ethical way to see them is in the wild. elephant rumbles i've never heard an elephant make that noise before! my final stop is almost as far north as you can go in thailand, just a couple of miles away from the border with myanmar. this range of hills is known as the sleeping princess because, from distance, that's exactly what it looks like. i'm lucy. nice to meet you. really nice to meet you. so, where are you from? i'm from pyau. pyau.
6:53 am
up until a few years ago, there was no tourist shuttle bus in operation here. and this remote part of the world wasn't even a part of backpackers' trails. the industries here were all agricultural, so coffee, oranges, lychee, but things are changing. this summer, the tham luang cave system has been marking the fifth anniversary of a rescue that caught the world's attention. news report: 12 children - and their football coach who have been missing for ten days have been found alive in flooded caves. this is the biggest search and rescue operation in this country's history and i would imagine probably one of the biggest cave search and rescues there's ever been. the thai authorities are throwing everything at this. in the end, it took 18 days to find the wild boars football team and bring them all successfully to the surface. pictures of the dramatic operation were beamed all over the world. and now, people are coming to see where it happened, not least to lay flowers
6:54 am
at the poignant new statue to saman gunan, the thai navy seal who lost his life during the mission. there's also a new museum, a gift shop and, for local people, the opportunity to make a few baht. how are you? are you good? do you get lots of tourists here? yeah? quite a lot? busy? you are allowed to explore the cave yourself, to a certain point, but i've asked two local caving guides to take me in a bit further. hi. hello. mario and taw worked here throughout the mission,
6:55 am
installing the ropes and pulleys that winched the boys to safety. so, what's it like being back in the cave? feels good. it's nice to be back. i love this cave. yeah. it's a really...pretty cave. lots of nice formations and, yeah... yeah, it's gorgeous. it's very quiet at the moment. during the rescue, so many people in here. a lot of noise. you were hearing the pumps. and people shouting around. carrying stuff in. yeah, i bet. oh, wow! this is where the medical team sat. medical team was over here, yes. the rescue was complex and dangerous. dive teams had to make their way through flooded tunnels, heavily sedate each boy one at a time to stop them panicking,
6:56 am
and swim their unconscious bodies back through the system. so, tourists really aren't allowed through this part, if this gate is anything to go by. you only can pass this point with a guide and with special permission from the national park. so, is it normal for kids to use this as their playground? yeah, countryside. yeah. so, kids ride their bicycles, play football, come out, explore some caves. it's not the first time that they came in here. there were big pumps in here. yeah. to try to get the water out. yeah. how deep did it go? 60, 70. ok, so up to your knees, maybe. wow, that really hammers it home, doesn't it? we're getting into chamber two right now. two. chamber two is where all the high lines are in. 0h, 0k, yes. taw�*s team built this high line, which helped rescuers winch the boys back through the cave. yeah, to build a high line, it's a little bit tricky
6:57 am
to build the anchor system here because, er... ..the rock at some spots is not really good. and, yeah, the day that the... ..the kids here... ..i'm crying, actually. yeah, yeah. yeah. i'm getting the impression things are going to get a bit trickierfrom here on in. you got me, taw! thank you! all right! woo! it is getting progressively tighter. and where i'm staring at right now, doesn't even look like people should go down there. but i think we're going to go down there! we call this one the keyhole. it looks like a keyhole over here.
6:58 am
so, then, the team were over here, to where you're sitting right now and then it had to be tilted a little bit to the side, to get... navigate through that. with the patient, with the kid, through the keyhole over here. and what was it like, you know, that moment when the first kid came through and you saw that and you got the thumbs up that they were alive? yeah. again, still, that silence, people didn't know what was going on. is the kid still alive or not? yeah, once we got the thumbs up, it was... yeah. ..feeling really good. as far as caves go, this one is very impressive. oh, it's like paradise. there's so many caves around. there's so much to explore. and we should preserve this one. yeah, absolutely. so, for us, it's very important that we leave no trace. everything we bring in, we bring out. we only leave footprints.
6:59 am
and be respectful. be respectful, yeah. you know, i am genuinely blown away byjust how much respect these guys have for the nature here. and, you know, i think it's fair to say that thailand has quite a complicated relationship when it comes to its diverse landscapes and natural heritage, and, as a result, it has had to learn a few tough lessons along the way. and yet, there are efforts to persuade many more of us to come and see these wild spaces. the tricky part will be allowing that to happen, without destroying the very thing that makes thailand's environment so special. and i'd like to hope they'll find a way to get it right.
7:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with victoria valentine and ben boulos. 0ur headlines today. the death toll from the earthquake in morocco rises to above 2,000 as rescue teams search for survivors. i'm anna holligan in the heart of marrakesh, where thousands of people have spent a second night sleeping outside. too afraid to go home in case of more aftershocks. back in custody, but questions remain about how terror suspect daniel khalife was able to escape from prison. two men have been arrested
7:01 am
amid allegations that a house of commons researcher was spying for china. good morning from marseille, where england fans have been celebrating their teams remarkable win in the face of adversity. despite being a man down for most of the match, they stunned argentina thanks to the kicking skills of george ford and his audacious drop goals. good morning. 0ur september heatwave continues and today is likely to be the seventh consecutive day with temperatures above 30 degrees. but with the heat and humidity comes the threat of thunderstorms. they could beat rental and bring flash flooding at times. details coming up shortly. —— they could be torrential. good morning. it's sunday, 10th september. our main story. at least 2,000 people have been killed in a devastating earthquake in morocco. a further 2,000 more have been injured, and the authorities have declared three days of national mourning.
7:02 am
the quake struck in a remote area in the atlas mountains, around a5 miles south of marrakesh, a popular tourist destination. 0ur correspondent, nick beake, has this report. first, the panic, as they run for their lives. then the chaos, as debris rains down and dust consumes the streets. this is marrakesh in the moments after the quake. late—night diners flee their tables. screams. at the kutubiyya mosque, screams, as the tower seems to sway but does not succumb. but many other buildings in the city crumbled. they had stood for hundreds of years and collapsed in seconds. but it is in the atlas mountains where there is the greatest damage and the greatest loss of life. in al—haouz province, more than 500 now confirmed dead. isolated communities, hard to reach
7:03 am
with roads broken and blocked. in marrakesh, we saw the damage there, and found those trying to prise their possessions from th wreckage. yousef tells us he was sitting with friends and then suddenly, dust fell from the sky. "then everything came down," he says. "all we could think of was to run." with no power, no phone signal, many decide to take shelter out in the open, fearful there could be aftershocks. translation: the force and intensity of this earthquake was felt _ in our building almost three times. people went out into the streets just after this total panic. there are families who are still sleeping outside. to the south of the epicentre, hands and hammers tackle the rubble.
7:04 am
no official help here. further west, there were teams of rescuers searching for families still trapped in their homes. back in marrakesh, this is the medina, the ancient part of the city. a symbol of morocco's history, shaken, and the future for thousands, now uncertain. nick beake, bbc news, marrakesh. we'rejoined now from marrakesh by our correspondent anna holligan. anna, bring us up to date on the situation there? we're in the heart of the medina, the unesco world heritage site. you can see some of the damage. the rubble collapsed on this land rover. i am going to show you some of the rubble, some of the disruption in the heart of the old city. you can see up here, the loudspeaker you may
7:05 am
be able to detect used for the call to prayer, all around this square is piles of rubble, twisted metal, bicycles. and around the edges of the square people are packing their belongings after another night sleeping outside. they are too afraid to go home because of more aftershocks. you can seejust afraid to go home because of more aftershocks. you can see just around the site of the square, cafe is opening for business. there are some tourists coming out waiting for taxis to get to the airport. there are scenes of normality. the rescuers are really focusing on those outskirts, the mountainous regions, the remote areas, hard to reach, where they hope they can still reach the hundreds of people probably still trapped beneath the wreckage of their homes. but we are hearing stories of hope and resilience too. people are coming from across the country where they fled for their lives, here to
7:06 am
marrakesh and those mountainous regions to help those affected. we have also seen the moroccan national football team lining up to give blood because as well is more than 2000 people killed in this quake, thousands more have been injured. they are being treated in hospital. people are being urged to come forward and give blood. there are people walking around handing out bottles of water trying to help those who are trying now to piece back their lives after this devastating quake, which has affected thousands of people here in morocco. thank you very much for the update. anna holligan in marrakesh. we will be hearing from those involved in the rescue efforts later on breakfast or. for now, more of the news with victoria. —— breakfast. terror suspect daniel khalife is expected to be transferred to a high security prison following his arrest after four days on the run. questions remain about how the 21—year—old was able to escape from wandsworth prison in london.
7:07 am
vincent mcaviney is outside scotland yard. what more can you tell us? the metropolitan police are continuing to question daniel khalife at a station in west london. after four days of a manhunt involving hundreds of officers and helicopters in certain parts of west london like richmond park in chiswick, he was actually found riding like a bike in north west london along a canal. he was wearing different clothes, he had a bag of food with him and a sleeping bag nearby. he was apprehended by a plainclothes police officer, who grabbed him from the bike after recognising him, and we are being told that he didn't actually put up any resistance to being arrested. here is what the head of counterterrorism policing had to say about the event. one of the officers engaged in our operation, a plainclothes officer, saw him on the canal towpath on a pedal cycle, a push bike,
7:08 am
and able to push him off that push—bike and arrest him. we have been focused with the public support— we have been focused with the public support and the support of the media in trying _ support and the support of the media in trying to— support and the support of the media in trying to find daniel. now he's back in custody and we will move our resources back to investigation to find out how he escaped from wandsworth prison and support any committal charges that might follow. the metropolitan police clearly finding those dozens of reports from the public very helpful, because he was found, khalife, only 1a miles from wandsworth prison. but there are still questions remaining. whether or not he did receive any assistance in breaking out of the prison, and whether he received any assistance while outside. he did have those items which he seems to have those items which he seems to have got from somewhere. the prime minister said yesterday that he was pleased to hear that he had been arrested. but there are still questions about why khalife was able to get out of the prison, while he was even working in the kitchen, and
7:09 am
another investigation as well about the categorisation of prisons. he was in a category a prison when normally he would be in a capital any prison. —— he was in a capital b prison when normally he would be in a capital b —— a prison. the second day of the g20 summit has started with a ceremony at the memorial of mahatma gandhi, india's independence leader. world leaders have already issued a joint declaration condemning the war in ukraine, but faced criticism after failing to mention russian aggression. the final session of the summit will focus on transformative technologies. relatives of the father of 10—year—old sara sharif have been detained for questioning by police in pakistan. urfan sharif, and his partner beinash batool, fled the uk for pakistan after sara was found dead at the family home in woking last month. ten close relatives have been taken into custody for questioning and an investigation.

a mountain rescue volunteer, who was badly injured in 2021 while trying to help wild campers who had broken lockdown restrictions, has died. chris lewis, a member of the patterdale mountain rescue team in the lake district, was left with severe damage to his spine and needing a wheelchair. the campers were both fined £200. prince harry opened the invictus games last night in dusseldorf, where 550 injured military personnel from 21 nations will compete. today competitors will take part in athletics, wheelchair rugby and powerlifting events. two men have been arrested on suspicion of offences under the official secrets act. the sunday times has reported that one of the men is a parliamentary researcher who's accused of spying for china. we're joined now by our political correspondent, tony bonsignore. tony, what more do we know about this investigation? morning. limited details. we know
7:11 am
that two men have been arrested under the official secrets act. one man in his 30s detained in 0xfordshire on march the 13th this year. the second man detained in edinburgh. we know that officers from the metropolitan police's counter terrorism command are investigating both men. they have been bailed until early october. the allegation in the sunday times is that one of them was a parliamentary researcher who was arrested on suspicion of spying for china. and this man, it said, had access to senior conservative mps, including tom tugendhat, before he became security minister, a job he has now, and also alessia kearns, who is chair of the foreign of the committee and a very influential committee. the broader context for this is growing concerns about china, by the chinese communist party, by their activities. we had a
7:12 am
parliamentary report injuly that warned beijing is targeting the uk prolifically and aggressively. just last year m15 had a warning about the influence of a lawyer linked to china. i think this will prompt broader questions about uk policy towards china. james cleverly, the foreign secretary, justin beijing last week in a very controversial visit for some tory mps. last week in a very controversial visit for some tory mp5. i think they are likely to be pretty vocal about what that means and what it should mean for uk policy towards beijing. should mean for uk policy towards bei'inu. . ~ should mean for uk policy towards bei'inu. ., ~' ,, should mean for uk policy towards bei'inu. ., ,, i. ., , beijing. thank you, tony. after a glorious _ beijing. thank you, tony. after a glorious weekend | beijing. thank you, tony. l after a glorious weekend of beijing. thank you, tony. _ after a glorious weekend of sunshine in many parts of the uk, will it continue? sarah has the details. how is it looking?— how is it looking? well, it is not lookin: how is it looking? well, it is not looking too _ how is it looking? well, it is not looking too bad _ how is it looking? well, it is not looking too bad out _ how is it looking? well, it is not looking too bad out there - how is it looking? well, it is not looking too bad out there first i looking too bad out there first thing. some beautiful sunrises. looking too bad out there first thing. some beautifulsunrises. it is hot and humid from the word go and we are in for another scorcher today, particularly south. this is the view in eastbourne first thing.
7:13 am
some fitted sunrises around. some saharan dust in the atmosphere bringing these vivid colours. through the course of the day we have still got the heat and humidity. but that is going to spark off some heavy showers and thunderstorms. some downpours in store for some of us today. let's look at this heatwave, this exceptional september heatwave. we have now had six days in a row above 30 celsius. yesterday was the hottest day of the year at 33.2. today we are likely to see the seventh day above 30 degrees. 0ver seventh day above 30 degrees. over the next few days a bit of a change as this slow—moving weather front starts to slip its way south and as it does so it squeezes away the hottest and most humid air down towards the near continent, and something cooler and fresher will work in from the north. today any runners and supporters at the great north run should stay dry through the morning. the chance of some heavy showers and thunderstorms later this afternoon and this evening. but it will feel quite close, quite sticky, and
7:14 am
probably warmer than most of the runners would like. through the day we are going to see the heavy showers that have already been putting in other parts of south—west england and wales, they are going to ship they way further northwards through parts of the midlands, for instance. perhaps the odd rumble of thunder later this morning. sunshine for southern and eastern england and much of eastern scotland and northern ireland as well before those heavy showers arrive from the south. let's take a look mid afternoon of where we are likely to see the showers. they will be hit and miss, so don't take this positioning to literally. a few pushing into northern ireland, parts of the midlands. if you do catch some of these heavy showers in the afternoon they could be torrential. bringing large hail and the threat of some localised flooding as well. temperature wise a little bit cooler than recent days. we are looking at the low to mid 20s in the north, but further south we could see 32 degrees yet again today. probably just a notch down yesterday on —— on
7:15 am
yesterday. through this evening the heavy showers and thunderstorms continue to affect parts of northern ireland, scotland as well. more persistent rain in the north—west of scotland. the weather front moving its way in here. temperatures in the north not as hot as recent lights but another hot and humid night, very uncomfortable for sleeping again across much of england and wales. 0vernight lows, 16 degrees. not quite as tropical feeling is we have seen in recent nights. through the day tomorrow, still some showers working their way slowly further south. i think a lot of dry weather for southern and eastern parts were again it is going to feel quite warm. 27 degrees. eventually that cooler air will step across all areas. it is looking more unsettled. typically in the high teens or low 20s for much of the week ahead. thank you so much. it looks like 32 is the high today. it is on its way down. everybody, calm down. it is on its way down. you are watching breakfast. it hasjust
7:16 am
it is on its way down. you are watching breakfast. it has just gone quarter past seven. questions have been raised about the safety of school buildings, after it emerged that more than 100 have been forced to close when they were found to contain potentially dangerous concrete, known as raac. our home editor mark easton has more details in incident room: concrete chaos. ceilings falling in. school buildings marked unsafe. it is a bit scary knowing that some things might, like, collapse. hospital wards propped up. court buildings out of action. a government desperately trying to reassure voters. we will spend what it takes to make sure that children can go to school safely, yes. but this isn't the first time school roofs have collapsed.
7:17 am
we don't know where it all is and it's difficult to find because it looks from the outside like normal concrete. so what on earth is happening to the fabric of britain? this is the stuff making thousands of pupils, teachers, parents and politicians mighty uncomfortable. it looks like concrete. but actually, it is 80% air. some have called it aero bar. but it's leaving a bitter taste for many. so how serious is this crisis? what should be do about it? and what does this fiasco tell us about britain and our relationship with our public buildings? first though, back to this lump of — well, what is it? it's made using a regular concrete recipe, a mix of sand, cement, gypsum, water. but a century ago, a swedish architect added another ingredient. aluminium powder.
7:18 am
that makes the mixture rise like a loaf of bread. he popped it in the oven, or autoclave, for about a day. and out came autoclave aerated concrete, aac. add a bit of reinforcement with an iron bar and you've got raac. it is light, easy to install, uses less raw material than regular concrete. so, it's cheaper too. when the swedish government pledged to build a million quality homes in the mid—60s, aerated concrete, or blue concrete, as it was known in sweden, became the go to product. the new techniques have produced better schools more quickly and more cheaply than ever before. all over the uk too raac was seen as something of a wonder material, going into countless public buildings. versatile, offering great insulating
7:19 am
qualities and easy to install. where is the catch? i wouldn't have used it, i wouldn't have had it used on any of my buildings. doctorjohn roberts is a former president of the institute of structural engineers. doctor roberts, this particular material was regarded as something of a wonder material when it first came out in the 605. but i think you have a sort of anxiety about the way perhaps almost exclusively in the uk we began to use it. what is your concern about the way that we used raac in britain? my concern is when we changed overfrom using it to make concrete blocks, lightweight, aerated concrete blocks, which was, i'm sure, the purpose for which this process was invented and extensively used, and then, one or more manufacturers began including
7:20 am
reinforcing bars, reinforcement, the r of raac, and turning this material into structural concrete to span across openings. and it's that bit, that part of the use of this material, that has led to all these problems. so it shouldn't be used for roof beams? in my opinion, yeah, that is correct. i don't think it is an appropriate material to be used as a structural spanning material. it is exceptionally weak for that purpose. it has a strength of about 10%, one tenth, of the strength of any kind of ordinary concrete. so, calling it concrete even is quite misleading. it is nowhere near as strong. it only has a tenth of the strength. and here we are, starting a new school year with thousands of pupils unable to enter their classrooms. the build—up to go tojuniors has been quite stressful for him.
7:21 am
and then to turn around to him and say, at least you are not starting school next week, it's been— a bit heartbreaking. it is a bit frustrating i because itjust seemed to be last—second that they decided to go, oh, no, the building is- not safe. it is a bit scary knowing that some things might, like, collapse. so what do you do then if you are in charge of a building with dodgy raac in the roof? it has been a nightmare for people like james saunders, the head teacher at honeywood school in essex. the impact of this is we can only have a maximum of three year groups in at a time. right, so what happens to the other year groups? they are going to have to work from home remotely. in the same way we did during covid. what is happening today then? i'm guessing people are moving stuff out of their classrooms?— of their classrooms? yeah, we are in the modern — of their classrooms? yeah, we are in the modern foreign _ of their classrooms? yeah, we are in the modern foreign languages - the modern foreign languages section~ — the modern foreign languages section. staff have been frantically coming _ section. staff have been frantically coming to— section. staff have been frantically coming to collect things and take them _ coming to collect things and take them out — coming to collect things and take them out of their classrooms and put them _ them out of their classrooms and put them into— them out of their classrooms and put them into the rooms they can use. this section —

7:24 am
then, nothing really happened for quite a long time, until, in 2017, a roof at a primary school in bolton collapsed onto a classroom without warning. luckily, the building was empty. a year later, a staff room ceiling suddenly collapsed on saturday evening at a primary school in kent, and miraculously again, there were no injuries. and in december of that year, the government warned every school authority in england to beware of the dangers. in may 2019, a committee of structural experts went further, advising that catastrophic failure could happen without warning with the possibility of injury or death. but it wasn't until march 2022, almost three years later, that the government set out a questionnaire asking schools if they had raac in their buildings. in december last year, they assumed ——

7:26 am
raac or concrete at all. schools weren't supposed to look behind ceiling tiles for dodgy beams are anything else. it warned candidly the survey might be —— mace structural repairs. the survey finished in 2019, but despite the worries about raac a new survey didn't begin until 2021, three years after the kent collapse. again, just after the kent collapse. again, just a visual survey. again, not about identifying critical structural problems. and it's still going on. with almost 10,000 schools in england not yet inspected. which tells us how little we know about this —— the state of art or school buildings. l this -- the state of art or school buildings-— buildings. i think the whole philosophy _ buildings. i think the whole philosophy of— buildings. i think the whole philosophy of using - buildings. i think the whole philosophy of using it - buildings. i think the whole philosophy of using it as i buildings. i think the whole philosophy of using it as a l philosophy of using it as a structural material is extremely dubious and unfortunately, that is what has now come home to harm us and harm all the buildings that aid is being used in.— is being used in. what were we thinkin: is being used in. what were we thinking of? — is being used in. what were we thinking of? i _ is being used in. what were we thinking of? i mean, _ is being used in. what were we thinking of? i mean, weren't. thinking of? i mean, weren't structural engineers are saying,

7:28 am
extensively. typically, it is used in roofs. it is not the main structural element. it usually infilled the shorter spaces, so there is normally a structural frame system left up there. and these panels can be taken out and replaced with a more normal, conventional structural material, leaving the rest of the building intact. it is not the case that by and large you are going to have to completely remove the whole building. but! remove the whole building. but i wonder if this _ remove the whole building. but i wonder if this crisis _ remove the whole building. but i wonder if this crisis is _ remove the whole building. but i wonder if this crisis is indicative of something broader? are britain's crumbling schools, propped up hospital wards, taped off court buildings, a sign that we simply don't care enough about our public estate? ben darbyshire is a former president of the royal institute of british architects and a commissioner with historic england. do you worry that perhaps we have just allowed our civic estate, or

7:33 am
putting him to the test this morning and trying to get to the bottom of what really went on. we also have a special exclusive interview with the head of the american military, alongside the head of the british military. i spoke to them on friday from washington about exactly what is going on in ukraine and the prospects for the conflict there that affects us all in so many ways. and here at the desk, some fantastic guests and the national treasurer stephen fry. so plenty to chew over and talk about, hope to see all of you here at 9am. thank you, looking forward to it. plenty of sport happening not least the rugby world cup happening in marseille. mike is there for us. a gorgeous view there. how is it all going? it is, by the harbour side in the old port in marseille, a great place
7:34 am
for the fans to gather, near the bars where they were watching the match if they were not in the stadium. it is already busy this morning, people going for pleasure cruises onto the water in the mediterranean, not able to afford may be that huge boat which is 700,000 euros a week to hire, a bit out of the budget for the bbc! some of the england fans say they are going to have a cruise today at to relax as they bask in the glory of an unexpected victory for england over argentina. that was just over the road in the stadium in marseille. not many people gave england a chance and after a few minutes they had tom carrie sent off so everyone feared the worst so that galvanised them in the face of adversity —— tom currie. and thanks to the art of the drop goal, they
7:35 am
managed to win. rarely, if ever, has an england team begun a world cup amid such low expectations. the fans still believed, although many of them faced long queues in a rush to get inside the stade velodrome. after a dismal build up, england were desperate to prove a point in their biggest game for years. instead the worst possible start. tom curryjust back from injury but almost immediately sent to the sin bin for this. a few minutes later the card upgraded to red on review. tom curry is gone. but rather than fold, england dug deep into reserves of defiance. three brilliant drop goals from george ford, giving his team an unlikely nine point lead. england's herculean defence was refusing to buckle. the sensational ford was having a night to remember, continuing to punish argentina's ill discipline with kick after kick and a stunning 27 points. the pre—match favourites struggling to make sense of it all. magnificent england, completing a remarkable victory that they'd been craving. this has been england at their big—hearted best.
7:36 am
a morale boosting win then for england when they needed it most. and one that will give them so much confidence that they can now progress deep into this tournament. although there will be questions for the organisers over why so many fans faced long delays getting inside the stadium here. earlier in boiling bordeaux, ireland got their campaign off to a sizzling start, racking up 12 tries and 82 points in a rout of minnows romania. returning captainjohnny sexton crossing twice. this a record win at the world cup by the competition's top ranked team, although much tougher tests await. dan roan, bbc news, marseille. we have just relocated to one of the bars where many of the fans were watching, already people gathering for their morning coffees, some england fans who are going to get a boat trip, so your stomach is all right after last night, no problems of celebrating their win. h0. right after last night, no problems of celebrating their win.— right after last night, no problems of celebrating their win. no, what a treat of celebrating their win. no, what a great game. _ of celebrating their win. no, what a

night, a cracking atmosphere to watch the england game and they are getting ready to play in marseille against south africa later today. i spoke to quite a few of them last night. # 0h, flower of scotland # when will we see your likes again...? i think we've got a chance. you know, we're a good team, we're playing well. why not? rugby brings people together. forges friendships. the girls on tour met back in 2011, in new zealand. they've been to every world cup scotland game since. what a story. imean... oh, it was amazing. we actually all went separately to new zealand for the rugby world cup. love rugby, and then all met, had such a good time. we've met so much time since, and this is our fourth world cup together and forged massive friendships. just love it. with these girls it's always going to be amazing, because we have done, i said, four world cups, every single international game together. the atmosphere of everything —
7:40 am
everybody, all the fans, are loving each other. l amazing. different nationalities. it's brilliant. _ for rugby fans, these squares in marseilles really are heaven, because they've got so many different theme pubs on every corner. fans of all the nations — scotland friends here, looking forward to what are the biggest games of this tournament so far? yeah, massive game. massive game. i don't know if we've got much chance, but we'll be having a good day anyway. it's all about the experience. what's it like? the port's just out there, all the fans together? it'sjust so nice that the rugby community is coming together. it doesn't matter what country you're from, we're all having a great time speaking to everyone. so, yes, the atmosphere isjust electric. people have spent years looking for the loch ness monster. we have found it with the loch ness pub, and it is full of partying scots fa ns. the loch ness monster's coming for south africa! 0h, hold on, hold on...
7:41 am
you have something to say about that. are you worried? no. not at all. easy peasy, lemon squeezy. they should play that in the scotland dressing room, easy pc, i don't think so! great atmosphere in the fans. a big night in football. england are still top of their euro qualifying group after they drew 1—1 with ukraine in poland. arsenal's 0leksandr zinchenko put the ukrainians ahead before kyle walker equalised with his first goal for england on his 77th appearance. ukraine were backed by a0,000 of their own fans in wroclaw, being unable to play in their own country this because of the war with russia. these are massive games and fair play, just say a little moment, fair play to the ukrainian fans for showing their support. and, you know, you canjust see what a proud nation they are. but i think we're going to see another proud
7:42 am
nation, scotland as well. so we have to go there, so it'll be two obviously tough games tonight and then tuesday, we'll quieten the crowd and hopefully play our football and, you know, get the result that we want. american teenager coco gauff has won her first grand slam final and she's done it on home soil — after beating aryna sabalenka in three sets at the us open. gauff came from a set down win in front of a delirious home crowd at flushing meadows. adam cottier watched the action. a fairy tale in new york for coco gauff, a us open winner at the age ofjust 19 after a thrilling final against aryna sabalenka. this had been gauff as a child during the us open as a wide—eyed spectator. several years on, any dreams she had back then became a reality as she produced a display of resilience and composure to triumph under the closed roof
7:43 am
of the arthur ashe stadium. having lost the opening set to sabalenka, who was looking to win her second grand slam of the year, gauff dazzled the home crowd to take the match to a decider. she'd never beaten a top ten opponent having been a set down and seen her wimbledon hopes ended in the first round back injuly, but as gauff�*s support grew louder and the challenge of sabalenka, the new world number one faded, the hollywood ending was forthcoming. a double break in the third set saw gauff seize complete control, and the youngest american finalist in new york since serena williams in 1999 went on to claim a remarkable victory. a seismic moment for american sport and at the end of an epic final, there were tears ofjoy for gauff. adam cottier, bbc news. meanwhile there was disappointment for britain'sjoe lapthorne and his partner donald ramphadi of south africa in the wheelchair quad doubles final. the pair were easily beaten by dutch

top seeds sam schroder and niels vink who won the final in straight sets 6—16—2. england's women bounced back from their shock t20 series loss to sri lanka, thrashing them by seven wickets in the first one day international at chester le street. teenager mahika gaur took three wickets on her debut including that of sri lanka captain chamari athapathu. the second of three 0di's is in northampton on tuesday. lets it from marseille, it's a real buzz and a hive of activity, being a sunday, a lot of people have got the day off so they are taking a cruise out of the water, this is where you queue up to get onto the boat, i would go but i don't want to let you to down so i am not going to leave you in the lurch! i will wait until

7:46 am
hot and humid, thundery downpours working their way in, we were not all see them so as is the nature with heavy showers, they will be and miss. the past six days have seen temperatures above 30 so a record run of hot september days. yesterday 33.2 degrees. today not quite as hot but over the next few days, this slow front will push its way south, that will mean something a bit cooler starts to work in until the middle of the week where the hot and humid airwill clear middle of the week where the hot and humid air will clear away from the south—east. some heavy showers are working across the south—west and wales, the west midlands as well. they have not reached newcastle, anyone taking part in the great north run should stay dry but into the afternoon and evening we have the afternoon and evening we have the threat of heavy showers, the storms and heat and humidity. temperatures in the low 20s, a
7:47 am
little bit hotter than ideal weather conditions. —— running conditions. some sunshine for east anglia and the south—east and brightest guys, the south—east and brightest guys, the middle of the afternoon, the showers could be heavy and thundery in the east midlands, the north west of england, these heavy showers and thunderstorms will start to arrive across northern ireland and southern scotland. more persistent rain and cloud pushing into north—west scotland. pressure in the rain in the likes of stornoway, —— it is fresher, but still up to 32 again for london and the south—east. heavy showers and thunderstorms, localised flooding into the evening, across parts of northern england, northern ireland and scotland, the band of rain tracking from the north—west. 0vernight temperatures are staying very mild for most of us,
7:48 am
uncomfortable in the south again, 16, a touch cooler than recent lights. we have a band of showery rain in the north which will push slowly south—east, much of the midlands towards east anglia and the south—east will stay sunny and hot again. 27 degrees, not going to break 30 degrees. but temperatures back into the high teens across northern areas. that is the picture through the week ahead, fresher air reaches all areas by tuesday, and then a mix of sunny shells and scattered showers through the week ahead. thank you, fresher whether a head, fingers crossed. now it's time for click.
7:49 am
hello, desdemona. how are you? hi there. i'm doing great. just learning and exploring the world around me. how about you ? i'm good, thank you very much. actually, iam having a whale of a time. i've made it no secret that in the past, robots like this have left me very cold. they were misleading, speaking pre—prepared answers, and giving the impression that we're on the verge of an ai revolution. however... ..since chatgpt, everything has changed and this robot is not being puppeteered. it's genuinely the mouthpiece of a large language model chat programme that is responding live to my unrehearsed questions. how does bob marley
7:50 am
like his doughnuts? bob marley likes his doughnuts with a little bit ofjammin'. reggae music plays. i think my line of questioning says more about my mindset than yours, to be honest. don't worry. i'm sure you're not the only one feeling a bit overwhelmed by all this a! stuff. let's take it one step at a time. ok, let's. i'm at ifa in berlin. it's europe's biggest tech show where, in hall 20, the robots are doing their thing — whatever that thing actually is. i feel like i'm about to have my brain operated on or something. the lasers are going to come out and suddenly, it's going to yank the top of my head off and do some kind of minority report stuff. it's notjust the bots, though — every type of tech is here for every part of our lives. it is a real spectacle with attention—grabbing booths, gravity—defying demos and any
7:51 am
attempt possible to make the hottest tech look extremely cool. it's definitely one of the more colourful shows that i get to go to. more of the rainbow next year, though, please — just a personal request there — but it's maybe the white goods that have the biggest outing here. home appliances are well represented and this is a place where they deliberately break an egg on yourfloor so they can vacuum it up again. ugh — sticky roller, though. tell you what else is cracking — tv screens. not literally, mind you, but the latest 0led tvs are big, bright and sharp and they also turn up in the most unusual places. this could get in the way of shaving, if you ask me. from the bathroom to the bedroom, there is something weird lurking around every corner and if it's your kind of thing, then this place can
7:52 am
be fun for all the family. 0ops! that's what ifa is. but what ifa isn't is a place where you are guaranteed to see the next big thing. certainly don't come to ifa expecting there to be new ideas and new inventions on every single stall — i mean, they are here, but you have to know where to look. this is as much about manufacturers and retailers selling their version of the latest tv or vacuum cleaner or toothbrush or toy or washing machine. but one thing you can do at shows like this is take the temperature and spot the trends. what is everyone talking about this year? and the new boss of the show was in no doubt about the big talking points for 2023. there's two themes that've completely blown everything else out of the water. they've almost kind of zoomed out of nowhere, if you like.
7:53 am
ai. you know, if we're being honest, nobody was talking about a! a year ago. now, everybody�*s grandmother is an expert on al, right? we're in the sustainability village, which is the, you know, physical embodiment, if you like, of the fact that everybody is talking about eco sustainability, energy uses on your washing machine, power. of course, it's easy to say you're green, but harder to live up to that branding. we'll visit one of ifa's more sustainable stands later in the programme. but that other theme — ai — is also something that seems to creep in to lots of product slogans. a! has been in a lot of stuff for a long time. yes. how is it manifesting itself here this year in a way it hasn't before? yeah, well, i would say potentially, it hasn't yet. right. i think where it gets relevant probably for the next year or two and then, going forward for our large clients — your samsungs and bosch, siemens, miele and those
7:54 am
people. when proper intelligence gets into your machines and they can really start to influence your life, i think there's going to be some revolutions in the home that happen once the power and the capability of a! really gets understood and built into the software and then, the hardware of some of our home appliances. and after spending a little while with desdemona here, i am actually starting to believe that smart appliances of the future really could add — well, at least a little personality to our homes. what can you tell me about the presenter of bbc click? they say the presenter of bbc click is an expert on all things tech and ai—related. i can only assume they must be a robot like me. laughter. now, as we said earlier, although whitegoods are ifa's big thing, one of its big themes is green. sustainability was a big theme last year. of course it's a big theme this
7:55 am
year and it's only going to get bigger until, i dunno, we solve the problem. the question is, are we any closer to that? as we know, the whole purpose of tech fairs like ifa is for companies to sell brand—new products. it's an industry that is heavily led by new versions — new versions of phones, for instance. we are being made like made to feel very negatively about ourselves that, you know, we just don't belong and we're not as cool or as amazing if we don't have all these gadgets. and that is something that i really had to put to the managing director of this massive new tech trade show that we happen to be at. we can be very sustainable by not buying new stuff. and yet here we are at a trade show full of new stuff. so, yeah, how do we balance those two? we obviously have got customers spanning the whole gamut of, let's say, durability and reliability.
7:56 am
a lot of our customers pride themselves in the fact that their products are going to last a long time. i think are more enlightened customers realise that they're not really in a battle about, is it... have we shifted 1.2 million units this year versus 1.1? they're really in a battle for brand love. if you've got somebody that's so in love with your product they're willing to repair it and tie up with elastic bands and reuse it as much as possible, that's worth, rather than going and looking on the market again and potentially going to a competitor, that's worth just as much. so i think that kind of re—use and repair can have an impact. and so it was that in a tiny corner of ifa's so—called sustainability village, a small group of volunteers were asked here to encourage visitors to make do and mend. it's working. it's working! it's working. ingo used to be an electrician and when he retired, he occupied himself by fixing everything at home.
7:57 am
then he set up his own repair cafe where volunteers breathe new life into broken electronics. in germany, the awareness of longevity of articles is growing, and of repairability. people want to repair. the younger generation is rather looking for latest technology, latest design and rather prefers to buy new. i'm not criticising that, but i'm saying in terms of interest in repairing something, it's more prone in the older generation. have you repaired many things while you've been here at ifa? actually, five or six only. who comes to an exhibition with a broken vacuum cleaner? laughs well, there might not be any vacuum cleaners so far, there is a reason that the repair cafe is run by volunteers. the labour cost of repairing these small items means that operations like this aren't usually commercially viable. this is an item of 20 euros.
7:58 am
the phone is an item of 600—800 euros. but they're difficult to repair. they are difficult to repair, but they're... if you then spend 30 euros to open the unit, you can say, yeah, this is worth it, i want to keep my phone. for this unit, it's not worth it because it's more than the new one. so we're in this niche where the professional shops cannot really help. but in the future, legislation could help make it easier and cheaper to fix our goods than it is to buy new ones. in march this year, the eu proposed a law that requires more products to be more easily repairable, even after their warranty has expired. and some european countries are already trying to encourage repair. france is leading the way quite a bit there. they have got this very interesting repairability index, showing, with a figure from 1 to 10 how repairable your product is. as a citizen, you can think, "do i want this
7:59 am
because it's only a 1?" or "do i think i'm going to go for the other one "that's a lot more repairable, which will make it last longer "and be more worth my money?" i think there's a lot that we can do ourselves to make choices that are actually more beneficial for ourselves, especially in times when life is just expensive. whether tech companies do give us more sustainable products may be a reflection on how much pressure we and governments put on them. and given the importance of repair, i wonder if these guys will be given a bigger stall at ifa next year. and that is it from the short cut of click at ifa 2023. there's more in the long version that's waiting for you on iplayer. we will be back next year for this show�*s 100th anniversary. can't wait! thanks for watching and we will see you soon.

questions remain about how terror suspect daniel khalife was able to escape from prison. two men have been arrested amid allegations that a parliamentry researcher was spying for china. good morning from marseille where england fans have been celebrating their teams remarkable win in the face of adversity. despite being a man down for most of the match, they stunned argentina, thanks to the kicking skills of george ford and his audacious drop goals. a return to normality for the great north run here in newcastle. around 60,000 people will be lining up here this morning to take part, alongside sir mo farah, who will be running his last ever race. good morning. 0ur september heatwave continues and today is likely to be the seventh consecutive day with temperatures above 30 celsius. but with the heat and humidity we have
8:02 am
got comes the threat of thunderstorms which could bring flash flooding at times. i will have all the details shortly. it's sunday, 10th september. our main story.... at least 2,000 people have been killed in a devastating earthquake in morocco. a further 2,000 more have been injured, and the authorities have declared three days of national mourning. the quake struck in a remote area in the atlas mountains, around a5 miles south of marrakesh, a popular tourist destination. 0ur correspondent, nick beake, has this report. first, the panic as they run for their lives. then the chaos, as debris rains down and dust consumes the streets. this is marrakesh in the moments after the quake. late night diners flee their tables. at the mosque, screams, as the tower seems to sway. but doesn't succumb.

but many other buildings in the city crumbled. they'd stood for hundreds of years, and collapsed in seconds. but it is in the atlas mountains where there is the greatest damage. and the greatest loss of life. in the province of al haouz, more than 500 now confirmed dead. isolated communities hard to reach, with roads broken and blocked. in marrakesh, we saw the damage there, and found those trying to prise their possessions from the wreckage. youssef tells us he was sitting with friends and then suddenly dust fell from the sky. "then everything came down," he says. "all we could think of was to run." with no power, and no phone signal, many decide to take shelter out in the open, fearful

there could be aftershocks. translation: the force - and intensity of this earthquake was felt in our building almost three times. people went out into the street just after this total panic. and there are families who are still sleeping outside. to the south of the epicentre, hands and hammers tackle the rubble. no official help here. further west, there were teams of rescuers searching for families still trapped in their homes. back in marrakesh, this is the medina, the ancient part of the city, a symbol of morocco's history, shaken and the future for thousands now uncertain. nick beake, bbc news, marrakesh. we'rejoined now from marrakesh by our correspondent anna holligan. anna, bring us up to date on the situation there.

8:07 am
what more can you tell us? well, the metropolitan police are continuing to question daniel khalife at a police station in west london. that four—day manhunt involved hundreds of officers, helicopters, searching part of west london, like richmond park and chiswick. they received hundreds of tip—offs from the public as to where he was, but in the end it was actually a plainclothed police officer in northolt in north—west london who spotted daniel khalife on a bicycle going along a towpath on a canal. he was wearing different clothes and he had a bag with food, and a sleeping bag nearby as well. that officer pushed him off the bike and detained him. he says he didn't put up any kind of fight and went willingly in the end. this is what the head of the counterterrorism police had to say. tithe the head of the counterterrorism police had to say.— police had to say. one of the officers engaged _

8:13 am
so do the crowds, with some businesses hotting up, like here on the south coast. the sunshine comes after the sixth wettestjuly on record, and a somewhat patchy august but it was kew gardens in london which saw the highest temperature — this met office tweet showing the temperature peaking at 33.2 celsius, making that the warmest day of the year. the current heatwave is the longest run of 30 celsius september days on record. and while some hide indoors, others take to lakes across the country, like these people in denham. it is just so refreshing. we, actually... my husband and i live in london and it is a busy week and very hot and we get a moment of relief when we pop into the water. half an hour drive out, you feel like you are in complete nature, it is gorgeous. there is certainly a difference in car park availability on a day like today, compared to early october when
8:14 am
the water is seven degrees. i would take a day like this over one of those anytime. scientists claim heatwaves have become more frequent, more intense, and last longer, because of human—induced climate change. but you know, as the saying goes, all good things come to an end. the met office have issued a yellow weather warning for thunderstorms for most of northern ireland, parts of northern england and wales and parts of southern scotland from mid afternoon today until tonight. greg mckenzie, bbc news. i love the hot weather. i'm sitting here with a cup of tea. i went to get a coffee yesterday, i got an iced drink and the guy in front of me asked for a normal hot coffee and the barrister said, are you sure? can't break some habits! here's sarah with a look
8:15 am
at this morning's weather. it might be another day for an iced coffee today because yes, the heat and humidity holding on today, but for some of us at the weather is going to go back and we have got some thunderstorms around. a beautiful start to the day with a lot of dry weather first then. some blue sky around but those schools are going to push on from the south so heat and humidity for many of us but thundery downpours when we do get them. —— storms. some flash flooding and large hail around as well, but certainly the heat is still a talking point. for the last six days we have had temperatures over 30 celsius and yesterday it peaked at 33.2. we won't quite reach 33 today but there to do is still likely. we have a weather front which will slowly creep further south over the next few days, and the hot, humid air will squeeze away towards the south and open the doors towards the south and open the doors to something fresh from the north.
8:16 am
temperature is still a little above average for many of us. we have had some rain over recent hours across the north west of scotland, and also heavy, foundry downpours across south—west england and wales. —— thundery. foranyone south—west england and wales. —— thundery. for anyone running today it is going to be a hot and humid day with temperatures and the low 20s. some thunderstorms later in the afternoon and into the evening. heavy showers creep gradually north, heading through the midlands where it could be heavy and thundery at times. some sunshine for northern ireland and central parts of scotland, and also east anglia and the south—east, before those showers arrive, and it will improve later in the day for somerset, and dorset. there are those showers pushing towards norfolk and the north west of england and north wales. they will creep into northern ireland and southern scotland later in the afternoon, and into the evening. more persistent rain across the north west of scotland. temperatures under the rainjust 1a north west of scotland. temperatures under the rain just 1a celsius at
8:17 am
stornoway, but typically the mid 20s for northern areas but still up to 31 or 32 for london and the south—east. this evening, a hot enter the day in the south, thunderstorms for much of northern england, scotland and northern ireland, localised flooding is possible. they will ease overnight but the band of rain continues to push on from the north—west. temperatures are still in the mid—teens so it's not going to be quite as hot as it has been over recent nights. last night some didn't go below 20 celsius, but still quite uncomfortable for sleeping into monday morning. but monday will be a fresh feeling day, particularly across scotland and northern ireland. a few showers around and further south and east we hold on to the warm air with a temperatures up to 27 celsius not as hot as it has been. today is likely to be the seventh day above 30 celsius. the king of morocco has declared three days of national mourning and ordered shelter,

8:19 am
was like a train or a jet flying, and i'm not farfrom the airport was like a train or a jet flying, and i'm not far from the airport so that's what went through my mind. it must be some kind of armyjet landing, orsomething. it got louder and louder and the flat started cheating, pictures falling off the wall. basically, anything that was anywhere started to fall off. i realised it is some sort of an earthquake, i wasn't100%, realised it is some sort of an earthquake, iwasn't100%, but realised it is some sort of an earthquake, i wasn't100%, but then the screaming started. people started screaming, children screaming like crazy. everyone running out. all i could think of at that moment, to be quite honest, i recorded a whatsapp message to my family saying if i don't make it out of here, i love you all. then it slowed down. it was only for a few minutes but it seemed like a lifetime. i looked out of the window
8:20 am
and everyone was out. i was in my pyjamas so i put a cardigan on and i went out. it was chaos. people were panicking, screaming. families are shouting for their kids. it calmed down after ten or 15 minutes. it was calm then with people sitting down. kids were still frightened but it was quite an experience. shop owners that were still open started bringing bottles of water out for the kids and one even brought toys out. it was interesting to see how very quickly people started thinking of others. it has been an amazing experience watching the next day, going and seeing how it is out there. it is absolutely devastating, it is a disaster. it really is bad. and seeing how the moroccans have
8:21 am
come together, i'm glad i was here. we have all pulled together. they requested people to give blood and the queues are unbelievable. all young generation giving blood. the food that is being given out, the drinks. people arejust food that is being given out, the drinks. people are just packing their cars and going around giving things out. blankets, pillows. it really is an amazing sight to see. people are helping each other. we understand that the king will be looking at relief efforts today and there is a field hospital opening up. it tallies with what you are saying and what our reporter has been saying about normality trying to be brought to the streets of marrakesh and the surrounding areas. i wonder, though, marrakesh and the surrounding areas. iwonder, though, you mentioned there was a lot of fear and
8:22 am
confusion, people outside, and perhaps too frightened to go back into their buildings. what had been killed been told about the risk of aftershocks and how they might prepare for those? fin aftershocks and how they might prepare for those?— aftershocks and how they might prepare for those? on the night that it happened. — prepare for those? on the night that it happened, roundabout _ prepare for those? on the night that it happened, roundabout 2pm, - prepare for those? on the night that l it happened, roundabout 2pm, nobody went back in, they all stayed in the parks under trees and on the roads, and people were told that it was safe to go back at around 2am but i'll be honest, nobody went back in. everybody slept outside on the first night. last night, i went out for a walk at about 10pm and everybody was out with their blankets and pillows on the floor. whole families, all out. my entire building was out. nobody slept indoors. everybody was out. and that was right across marrakesh because they are still expecting aftershocks. they are sitting, they are talking you know,
8:23 am
they have got food and drinks. they are making a pickling out of it. it is a very relaxed manner. no one is frightened, they are relaxed, and they are just happy to sit outside and sleep the night outside. also it is very cool, i must admit. even last night, everyone slept outside on the whole of marrakesh city. everyone slept out. the famous square was packed with people sleeping on the square.- square was packed with people sleeping on the square. thank you so much for your— sleeping on the square. thank you so much for your time. _ sleeping on the square. thank you so much for your time. can _ sleeping on the square. thank you so much for your time. can i _ sleeping on the square. thank you so much for your time. can i just - sleeping on the square. thank you so much for your time. can i just say - much for your time. can i 'ust say something — much for your time. can i 'ust say something quickly? h much for your time. can i 'ust say something quickly? the _ much for your time. can i just say something quickly? the british i something quickly? the british moroccan society have set up a relief, a fundraising relief for the remote villages which i'm travelling to this afternoon and we are fundraising to help the villages which are very devastated. it is the remote villages that took the brunt and they are devastated with lots of homes destroyed. villages that we work with very closely, and we know personally some of us and we have

my my name is elise, and since i was eight i have been playing the frugal cornet and trumpet. two years ago i joined a brass band and it has changed my life. it is much more than music, it is also a community. we won the national youth brass band championships and held the title for ten years. the connection that you have with the band is completely different to anything else because you spend so much time with one another, playing with one another, rehearsing. you're having fun nights out with your friends and consuls don't always go to plan, so if it's really windy you've got music falling over on stage and it is

8:45 am
as a wide—eyed spectator. several years on, any dreams she had back then became a reality as she produced a display of resilience and composure to triumph under the closed roof of the arthur ashe stadium. having lost the opening set to sabalenka, who was looking to win her second grand slam of the year, gauff dazzled the home crowd to take the match to a decider. she'd never beaten a top ten opponent having been a set down and seen her wimbledon hopes ended in the first round back injuly, but as gauff�*s support grew louder and the challenge of sabalenka, the new world number one faded, the hollywood ending was forthcoming. a double break in the third set saw gauff seize complete control, and the youngest american finalist in new york since serena williams in 1999 went on to claim a remarkable victory. a seismic moment for american sport and at the end of an epic final, there were tears ofjoy for gauff. adam cottier, bbc news.

8:48 am
interviewed the greats. he's an adopted midlander who spent much of his five decades in tv on a sofa bringing us the news. it'sjust after 10:30 on friday, the 11th of february. after having surgery earlier this year for extensive and aggressive prostate cancer, nick is relishing his return to midlands today. i'm feeling pretty good, really, thank you, after a turbulent few months and very excited, really, to think that i'm going back to work because it means a return to normality. at one stage you wondered whether it would ever happen. so i'm a bit fragile still, but so much better than i've been in the last few months. so this is a landmark time for me. it really is. earlier this week, nick had a blood test, the results of which are due in a few weeks' time. this is the one that i hope will give me the all clear. so it's a bit of a tense time waiting to hear. your friends and colleagues at midlands today and the wider bbc have absolutely missed you and i know how much
8:49 am
being there means to you, how much you love notjust news reading, but being a journalist in the area that you love so much. starting to write serious scripts again and go in the studio and deliver stuff, i think it is going to be quite strange. i am slightly apprehensive. nick has presented the programme since 1997. barely has he had time away from his colleagues, and he's back in the building... ..preparing for monday's program. our kids. hey! how are you doing? well, hang on a minute. the face is vaguely familiar. and the voice. i'm doing 0k, thank you very much. the bbc have been absolutely magnificent in their support, from the editor down to everyone in the team and all my colleagues, many of whom i've worked with, you know, ten, 20 years.
8:50 am
the old sofa... it's only been about four months, but itjust seems so long. 0h. yeah. i think i could get used to this again. nick's return will be gradual — one day a week at first. like so many cancer survivors who are able to return to work, a balance of rest and recuperation is the priority. tiredness is a big problem, and people have side issues from their treatment, side effects, and that can cause problems in the workplace. nick's story has made headlines at home and abroad. we're delighted to say that nickjoins us on the bbc breakfast sofa this morning. talking publicly about prostate cancer, which affects one in eight men in the uk. you won't know this, but i contacted prostate cancer uk, the charity, today. they've had a massive increase of the number of contacts made to their specialist nurses. and the online checker, which is a way you can go
8:51 am
and check symptoms... yes. they've now had over 1.5 million people complete that checker, and they say a lot of that drive is as a result of what you said. how do you feel about that? blown away. gosh. very moved by it. and if it's done some good and it seems to have done, i'm actually thrilled. that was the whole purpose, really, telling the world. gosh. they laugh just lost for words watching that. and the fact his pulley for more men to get screened has had that effect. it is phenomenal. diagnosis has trebled in the last few years as a
8:52 am
result of things like this. many congratulations, nick. 0ur result of things like this. many congratulations, nick. our best wishes on his return, from all others here. and if you'd like more information about the prostate cancer risk checker, you can find it at prostate cancer uk.org/risk—checker. if you can't remember all of that, just type it into a search engine. many congratulations, nick. let's talk about something going on today. it hasn't been happening for a few years in full swing now. 60,000 runners are taking part in the great north run today. among them is sir mo farah, who says he's looking forward to spending more time with his family when he finally retires from competitive running after today's race. alison freeman is there for us this morning. somewhere on that route. hi, alison.
8:53 am
good morning. that is the start you are looking at. looks quiet, but if you come upon the bridge above newcastle central motorway, lots of runners, some of the 60,000 people taken part in the a2nd great north run. it is supposed to be the biggest half marathon in the country. this is the first return to normality, and i've been finding out what is happening over the past four or five years. this is what the start of the great north run should look like. but the last time it happened was back in 2019. in 2020, runners didn't let their training go to waste, though, when the pandemic saw the event cancelled. in what became known as the virtual great north run, people ran their own 13.1 mile routes wherever they were in the world. in 2021, a great north run of sorts happened.
8:54 am
the much—loved course, which usually starts on newcastle's central motorway, crosses the tyne bridge and then ends in south shields, had to be changed to meet covid rules. the temporary circular route starting in waves this time from the city's town mall. then last year, the event, which attracts tens of thousands of runners who wear fancy dress and raise funds for various charities, became a far more somber affair following the death of her majesty the queen just days before. now here we are after 2019, four years later, back to the original hopeful, hopefully peaceful, hopefully not too warm, hopefully thousands of people. and i'm sure the crowds will be amazing. and i hope the event goes off, as we hope it will with no incidents, no issues, no problems. we've worked hard for it. you can see the planning is well under way and the organisation is well under way. so fingers crossed. or that, isn't it? as well as seeing a return
8:55 am
to normality this year, the event is special in another way. it's the race that will be long distance runner sir mo farah's last as he retires from the sport. suddenly it's just started to hit me with the amount of support, amount of people coming up to me saying to me, "good luck, mo, your last one, last one." and you sleep on it. and when i woke up this morning, definitely felt quite emotional. right, i'm joined by right, i'mjoined by some right, i'm joined by some of the people taking part. just tell us why it is so important you are running. we are running for a charity which supports usher syndrome, a rare syndrome i have found out both of my babies have. me and my friend are running for 30 miles. babies have. me and my friend are running for30 miles. n babies have. me and my friend are running for 30 miles.— babies have. me and my friend are running for 30 miles. i might walk. it is an important _
