6:07 am
to help pick the best line of sight. that of course happened at a rally in pennsylvania. israel has confirmed that it carried out a series of air strikes on a houthi—controlled port city in yemen, a day after tel aviv was hit by a drone launched by the group. it's the first time israel has responded directly to what it says have been hundreds of yemeni drones and missiles aimed at its territory. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams is injerusalem. this is the first time the israelis have retaliated against the houthis in yemen, following months and months of houthi attacks directed towards israel. the israelis say as many as 200 separate drones and ballistic missiles have been fired towards israel in the last nine months. none of those really did very much damage and none of them killed anyone. but of course all changed in the early hours of friday morning, when a drones somehow made
6:08 am
its way through israel's air defences, landed right in the middle of tel aviv, close to the us embassy, and killed on civilian. it was absolutely clear following that incident that israel would retaliate and they have done so quickly. as for the choice of target, well, hitting the port city of the data, a port which israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu said is not an innocent port, it is a place where the israelis believe the houthis bring on weapons smuggled from iran, but also, hitting these oil storage tanks and setting of this vast inferno with huge flames leaping up into the sky, and a vast black clouds drifting over the city, i think was designed to send a very symbolic, emphatic message around the region. and in fact, israel's defence minister u of galant essentially said that, a message to israel's opponents around the region that israel will not hesitate to
6:09 am
launch attacks even as far away as distant yemen if israeli lives are at stake. —— israel's defence minister yoav gallant. a man has been charged in connection with disorder in a leeds suburb earlier this week. iustin dobre, 37, of clifton mount, harehills, has been charged with violent disorder and arson reckless as to endanger life. he has been remanded into custody and will appear at leeds magistrates' court tomorrow. there nhs england has warned of "continued disruption" to gp services into next week after the global it outage on friday. despite a fix being issued across microsoft windows pcs, cybersecurity firm crowdstrike has said the systems would take "some time" to be fully restored. people on the spanish island of majorca are set to protest today against the impact of record levels of tourism. spain has seen a number of demonstrations across different cities in recent weeks, with locals arguing they're being priced out of housing and that visitor numbers are damaging

6:14 am
shower into the north—west of scotland, but really very isolated. by scotland, but really very isolated. by the end of the afternoon we might see cloud and light, patchy rain arriving into northern ireland. it will be a fresher field for all of us, especially east anglia, where we saw highs of 29 degrees yesterday. still, temperatures peaking at 23 celsius. night tonight, that showery rain in northern ireland will gradually drift steadily east, pushing towards the scottish borders and along west facing coasts of north—west england and wales. quite a lot of cloud will keep those temperatures up, widely into double figures, mid teens for many. as we go through our week ahead, we are going to continue with that similar story that we have had for our summer so far, very changeable. rain at times, especially at the beginning of the week, then we will see some dry and sunny weather and with some sunshine it will almost feel pleasantly warm. as we go into monday, this is the weather front gradually drifting steadily east, and it will bring outbreaks of showery rain for some of us. not for
6:15 am
all, mostly across parts of southern scotland and north and west, and a few scattered showers is that front drift steadily east. we will gradually lose that southwesterly wind and wind direction, coming in from a fresher westerly source, so temperatures, well, generally ranging between 16 and 211 degrees, and some of the showers in scotland could be heavy and bunbury at times. as that front clears away and this ridge of high pressure builds behind it, that will quieter the story down considerably. as we go into tuesday, again, we will see that wind direction changing back to a north—westerly, so a fresher field, but they will be sunshine, very strong at this time of year, so with a little shelter from that wind, we will continue to see some pleasant weather coming through and temperatures may well pick at 211, which is 75 fahrenheit. looking ahead, i said which is 75 fahrenheit. looking ahead, isaid it which is 75 fahrenheit. looking ahead, i said it was going to stay pretty changeable, well, this is the story as we go through our week. tuesday and wednesday on the whole

jayden seales's tough, zak crawley out of luck. but misfortune doesn't prompt caution in this team, the opposite. 0llie pope and ben duckett manoeuvred them back ahead. the game becalmed, the only real movement was to and from the bar. but at az30pm the umpire changed the ball and immediately pope elected. duckett followed not long after. alzarri joseph got them both. now these guys were darker. the challenge for batters starker. this was a more watchful england. joe root was careful in the gloom. the lead picked up. by this point the last test was long over. this one may have some distance still to go. patrick gearey, bbc news. lando norris will be hoping he can claim his second win of the season at the hungarian grand prix this afternoon. the briton secured the third pole of his career as he led 0scar piastri to a mclaren one—two in qualifying ahead of world champion max verstappen.

light rain made conditions tricky with sergio perez crashing out of the opening session and yuki tsunoda also causing a red flag towards the end of qualifying. very, very happy. not an easy qualifying. difficult conditions, as you said, but always ending up on top is the best part. also, happy, especially for the team, a 1—2 is even better, so congratulations to the team. tadej pogacar is almost certain to win his third tour de france title tonight. the final stage is in, a break with tradition, a time trial, from monaco to nice, because the usual ride into paris isn't possible due to the olympics. it could be mark cavendish's last day at the tour — the record stage winner was emotional after making it through the mountains yesterday. pogacar holds a lead of five minutes plus after winning stage 20. he's on course for his third yellowjersey and the giro d'italia—tour de france double, which hasn't been done since 1998.

very few players have been the face of their sport for so long, but the tributes to six time world champion ray reardon show he was a pivotal figure in snooker�*s history. the welshman dominated the sport in the 19705 and also played a key role in growing snooker�*s popularity. reardon was nicknamed dracula because of his distinctive hairstyle and he turned professional after previously being a miner and police officer, and just as colour television was being introduced. another welsh world champion mark williams called him an inspiration. hull fc ended wigan warriors' eight—match winning streak as they hung on for a 2k points to 22 victory over the super league leaders at mkm stadium. the home side scored four tries on their way to victory, including this one from denive balmforth giving them the points. hull then held on with desperate defence, taking the victory, handing defending champions wigan only their third defeat of the season. hull kr beat leeds rhinos with a dramatic late win at headingley asjez litten's try made sure of the victory for rovers,

6:37 am
the headlines. on a sunny day, a ride around paris takes some beating, that's for sure. france's capital is transforming. in a few weeks' time, the city will host the summer olympics and paralympics, and the organisers are busy turning landmarks into stadiums. so this beautiful building is the grand palais, and that is where the fencing and taekwondo are happening. still looks like they've got lots of work to do on it. the organisers of this year's competition have promised it will have a lasting impact on this iconic city. i'm steve brown and i'm here to find out how paris is changing. from the suburbs... you can see it's really quite busy. there's so much hustle and bustle. ..to the seine... beautiful. ..and up into the sky. it's 2024 and this is paris.
6:38 am
paris is already one of the world's most—visited cities. but this year they're expecting around 15 million people during the competition. here at porte de la chapelle arena, it's the start of olympic and paralympic week. merci, monsieur. more than 4,000 children have gathered to try their hand at a range of activities, including para sports. i bet none of these kids have played sitting volleyball before. i mean, i never played wheelchair rugby before my injury. it's been a while since i captained
6:39 am
team gb at london 2012, and i'm here to meet another former athlete. hey! hello, steve! how are you? are you well? ludivine won 12 medals for swimming. it's just my second moment in english since my life. no! yes, it is, so... well, you're doing very well. she's now the head of paralympic integration at this year's games. it's a very amazing opportunity. my name of myjob is how i can integrate the olympic and paralympic competition. like two parts of the same competition. yes. and is there a sense of transformation in paris? do you think there's been a change in the understanding of disability? i'm sure. i'm certain of that. we progress on the children understanding of the disability and the para sport.
6:40 am
well, like today, for me, it's a very important legacy to change the view of the different populations. organisers have promised that this will be the most sustainable and inclusive games ever. wild cheering. that this summer of sport will leave a positive legacy across paris. so they've scaled back on construction... ..up on accessibility, at least in certain places... i'm allowed on this one. big step. ..and invested in some experimental new technology to suck pollution out of the air. to find out more, i'm meeting one of the inventors. hey, matthieu! how are you today, ca va? tres bien! this is matthieu gobbi, and this is one of his company's
6:41 am
giant helium balloons. here at andre—citroen park, they carry up to 1,000 tourists a day. we're going to fly and make some readings. is it safe? yeah, of course it's safe. the balloon is going up and it is connected to the ground with a cable, actioned by a winch. so perfectly safe, especially with this beautiful weather. ok, so we can come down again in the same spot, no problem? hopefully. that is music to my ears. can you help me up here, please? is that 0k? yeah, sure. thank you, matthieu. yep, you're welcome. you're ready for takeoff? he—e—y! are you sure that winch is going to hold you? i guess so. yeah, we guess so, yeah. ifeel like phileas fogg.
6:42 am
you are. look at that already, you can start to see the buildings appearing behind buildings. exactly. your view is getting further and further. yeah, yeah. oh, man! this is my first time up in a balloon, whether it's tethered or not. you've been doing it for 30 years. does it still feel exciting to you? yes, very much so. it is always different. so, ok, it's a lot of fun, but we're here for work, aren't we? there's readings to be taken. absolutely. we have an instrument on board of the gondola, and they keep measuring the pollution while we go up. so every second we have the readings of the concentration of small particles and even,
6:43 am
erm, greenhouse gases. so is this a good day for pollution? today is a good visibility. the pollution is pretty low because. . .yesterday was very windy. but most of the time in spring or summer, uh, the particles get really high. in paris and in many other european cities, the air quality falls below the standards set by the world health organization. and even on a clear day like today, the balloon's instruments find unsafe levels of pm 2.5, the tiny particles of pollution given off by burning fuel in vehicles or buildings. it's been linked to a range of serious health conditions. welcome to the office. thank you very much. but matthieu thinks he has a solution to improving the air quality in built—up areas. so there's a bar here?
6:44 am
yeah. and p0p: p0p: p0p: p0p- easy. yeah. so he's invited me to his office to show me the designs for their new experimental air—purifiers. so this is where the magic happens, is it? yes, absolutely. wow! you see how it works? so there is a fan in the centre to suck the air in. and in this module we have the electric field, you know, to attract the dust, like a magnet. yeah. the air is cleaned and flows out in the centre. yeah. looks like a spaceship. they won a tender to install some prototypes in the new olympic village. actually, it's part of the role of the olympics to boost innovation. is this a training ground for you to see how this works and where it can be used? yes, absolutely. according to matthieu, the initial results are promising,
6:45 am
with daily readings of pm 2.5 around the village as much as halved. there is some wind, but... but there are still some limits to its effectiveness. this is only local. the first priority is to decrease the emission of pollution, of course. if this summer's trials are a success, matthieu hopes these devices will become a common sight in busy parts of paris... ..transforming the very air we breathe. here we go! my next stop is the parisian
6:46 am
suburb of saint—denis. you can see out the window here, the brand—new olympic village, and it looks awesome! wow. the memories of london are coming flooding back. the experience of staying in the olympic village is something else. just down the road, the stade de france will host the athletics events. but this isn't a destination that appears on many tourist itineraries, at least not yet. while saint—denis is rich in culture, i think it's fair to say that it's maybe not the most affluent area. in fact, this is one of the poorest places in all of france. nearly a third of its residents live below the poverty line. the organisers of the games put
6:47 am
the regeneration of saint—denis front and centre of their winning bid, so they're giving public spaces a face—lift. and, after the summer, the olympic village will be converted into homes for around 6,000 people. but this transformation hasn't been without controversy. to find out more, i'm meeting someone who's protesting this year's games. i've only ever experienced the games as a competitor, or as a pundit — it's always been very positive for me. it's going to be funny maybe meeting somebody that's got a different perspective. hey. hey, paul. hi. lovely to meet you. nice to meet you. great spot. looks like there's a bit of work going on. yeah. here you have the cathedral. and they used to bury royalty here. i think they're getting ready for the tourists, you know, some renovation going on. wow! paul alauzy works for aid organisation doctors of the world, and interacts with some of saint—denis�* most vulnerable residents.
6:48 am
there's a lot of things happening. they are renovating the city, you know, to make it look good for the cameras. but on the other hand, we already know that there is gentrification coming up. we have homeless people. we have people from sudan, from afghanistan, they are being harassed and pushed away from paris. and their livelihood, their lives are being destroyed. so, tell me about your part in all of this. well, with the olympics coming, we built a collective. uh, it's called le revers de la medaille. and the goal is to, you know, try to hold accountable the organiser of the games. uh, they were promising the most inclusive games ever, i love it. social inheritance. come on, bring it on. like, we want that, you know? they need to fulfil these promises. le revers de la medaille — or the other side of the medal — has become known for colourful demonstrations across paris.
6:49 am
paul takes me to l�*ile saint—denis, just across the water from the olympic village, to see a former cement factory. this is the place where, for us, a year ago, the social cleansing caused by the organisation of the olympics began. coming back is a bit cathartic for me because it's been a year, i haven't been here. so how did this look a year ago? it used to be the house of 500 people, and it was actually the biggest squat in the whole territory of france, you know? so, starting in 2020, we had a big community of african nationalities. it was quite lively, you know, there were so many bikes, some cars and scooters also. a lot of people, they were, you know, like, doing deliveries, that kind of stuff. for me, this was a base of autonomy, and this was also a place where the people could stand proud. we are here. you know? and they kicked it out. five in the morning, you know, big lights and everything. and they kicked everybody out. they were here saying
6:50 am
to the media that this is a humanitarian operation. of course, everyone is going to be housed for the long term. and they were saying that this was done for the security of the people. so, in your mind, they're making excuses and reasons that weren't valid. yeah, obviously, it's not. it's really 100 metres, right next to the olympic village. for them, it's not a pretty picture, you know. so, yeah, for me, it's related to the games. paul's group have alleged that what happened here is part of a wider effort to clear the streets ahead of the games. french officials have denied any link, and the international olympic committee have stressed they're not responsible for paris' homeless policy. i'll tell you a truth, 0k? i've only ever seen that shiny side of the games you talk about. i've stayed in an olympic village, with all of the privileges that come with being an athlete, and sitting and listening to you has really made me think about who benefits and how that benefit comes to a city.
6:51 am
and i think we need to elaborate on that. like, you know, the goal is not to say, uh, "we should stop the olympics, cancel them." no, the goal is to say, "i think it brings a joy to a lot of people in the world." there'sjust the need to be, now, when we're going to organise olympics, the need to be social and, come on, i mean, we could do it. hey, hey. this is cool, eh? the weather can't make up its mind. one minute, it's raining and now look at it! blue skies. beautiful. the seine is due to play a major role at the 2024 games. for the first time, the opening ceremony isn't
6:52 am
going to be in a stadium, it's going to be here on the river — and the athletes�* parade, believe it or not, is going to be a huge flotilla of boats. at least, that's the plan. it could be moved because of security fears, but the river itself is set to become one of the games�* biggest legacies. for the first time in 100 years, the seine could open up to public swimming after the city spent around 1.5 billion euros upgrading its sewage system. athletes in the triathlon are supposed to take a dip this summer. so if the organisers hit all their targets, you'll be able to have a swim in the seine as early as 2025. swimming in the river isn't for me, i don't think. i don't like being cold. i'm a fair—weather kind of guy. if it's 38 degrees, i might think about it. but how do everyday parisians feel about it? ha—ha. salut. bonjour.
6:53 am
bonjour, steve. alex. raf. ca va? nice to meet you. oh. thank you. rafael and his dad alex have a special relationship with the river. not for olympic games, but for usually every day. so how long have you been cleaning the river? since four years ago now. four years. he was.... he was nine when we started. they've become famous for fishing rubbish out of the river and posting about it on instagram under the tag raf—sur—seine. so... and this is the magnet. yeah, this magnet is so strong, but you can try here. oh, wow!
6:54 am
you're pulling the bridge over! wow! that's magic. and... but how do you pull it up? ah, just with the strength. so what kind of things have you found? let me show you. oh, come on! in a top—secret location... ..raf and alex stow a selection of their most interesting finds. raf, this is some amazing bits. tell me about what we've got on the table.
6:55 am
these are the eiffel towers that you see the tourists buy. so not very much age there, but this looks far older. what's that? it's supposed to be a lantern. that was in the beginning of the last century to light the horse cart. how does it feel when you pull something like that out on your magnet? very exciting, like, sometimes to start to... what's happened ? yeah. what's happened ? over the years, they estimate they've pulled well over 30 tonnes of waste from the seine, including dozens of bicycles! but some of the objects are a bit more sinister.
6:56 am
and, uh, we find maybe 20, 30 guns in the river. no way! yeah, i understand. in fact, the authorities have forbidden magnet fishing in paris because of safety concerns.
6:57 am
but in recognition of his efforts to clean the seine, raf has been awarded the city of paris medal and congratulated by president macron. i still have one nagging question, though. so, raf, are you going to be swimming in the river soon? no, no. definitely not. it'll never be clean enough. no. myjourney across paris is drawing to an end. but i have one last stop to make. i thought, while i'm here, i'd drop in on some old friends. ryadh, what a fantastic surprise, my friend! when did we first meet?
6:58 am
2010? yeah. europeans. yeah, exactly. that was the first time we played against each other. yeah. and you were impossible to catch. this is a training session of the capsaaa wheelchair rugby team. my friend ryadh sallem founded the club. it's partly made up of former paralympians like himself and a couple of members of france's 2024 squad. can we go and meet the team? this is what the games represents to me. how are you? lovely to see you. i'm talking about the coming together, the being united, the camaraderie. sorry, my english is bad. hey, that's all right. my french is bad. oh. it's a draw. nice, easy!
6:59 am
but i've seen probably the best of paris the last few days. i've been up in an air balloon. i've been along the seine. they've got some really big, ambitious ideas — cleaner air, cleaner waters. using the power of sport as a catalyst to create change — and meaningful change. but is ambition going to turn into reality? that's what i'm wondering, sitting here, reflecting back on the last few days. the answer lies in paris in 2024 and beyond.
7:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thomson and luxmy gopal. 0ur headlines today: the chancellor, rachel reeves, hints she will award public sector workers above inflation pay increases. donald trump returns to the campaign trail a week after surviving an assassination attempt. but what they do is misinformation and disinformation, and they keep saying, he's a threat to democracy. i'm saying, "what the hell did i do for democracy?" last week i took a bullet for democracy. israel launches air strikes on a houthi—controlled port in yemen, after a drone launched by the group hit tel aviv. iam i am live from st pancras station, as a team gb athletes depart for paris in their pursuit of olympic glory. in sport,
7:01 am
it's tight at the top going into today's final round of the open. england's justin rose and dan brown are two of seven players within a shot of the lead held by america's billy horschel, one of the few to tame the elements at royal troon. good morning. a much drier, better day in western areas today, and a fresher and less humid feel in the east. so basically not about sunday in prospect. i'll have all the details coming up shortly. it's sunday, the 21st ofjuly. our main story. the chancellor, rachel reeves, has hinted that she will give public sector workers above—inflation pay increases. it's understood that independent pay review bodies have recommended rises of 5.5% for teachers and nhs workers, with inflation currently at 2%. ms reeves told the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg she would "make the sums add up." she's also announced a review of pensions in the hope of encouraging billions of pounds of investment in the uk. 0ur political correspondent, leila nathoo, has the story.
7:02 am
millions of public sector workers are waiting to learn what their pay rises will be this year. independent pay review bodies make recommendations to the government of what percentage should be awarded. it's understood that ministers have been advised to raise the salaries of teachers and nhs workers by 5.5%, a rate that is above current inflation. it's now up to the new chancellor, rachel reeves, to decide if this is affordable when money is tight — and this morning, a hint of her thinking. i really value public service workers, in our schools, in our hospitals, in our police as well. at the moment we are looking at those pay review body recommendations and doing the analysis. we will work with public sector workers on that, but we also know that there is a cost to not settling, a cost of further industrial action, a cost in terms of the challenge
7:03 am
we face in recruiting, retaining doctors and nurses and teachers as well. but we will do it in a proper way and make sure that the sums add up. but a further decision looms if the proposed pay rises go beyond what the treasury has already budgeted for. there have been tussles in the past with unions over whether the money to fund them would have to come from existing departmental budgets. the funding element is incredibly important. schools are in the midst of a funding crisis also, and failure to fund a pay award will lead to a deepening of that crisis, and it will mean that we have children with snd without support, fewer support staff, fewer school trips, larger class sizes. so that is really important. if rachel reeves does decide she needs extra money, there are warnings it would have to come from borrowing more, raising taxes or cuts elsewhere. tough choices already for the new resident here. leila nathoo, bbc news. let's talk to our political correspondent tony bonsignore.
7:04 am
tony, good morning. there are some hints from the chancellor there in her interview with laura kuenssberg. how well do you think they will go down in westminster and with the public? down in westminster and with the ublic? ,., ., ., , ., public? good morning. yes, ithink labour mps, _ public? good morning. yes, ithink labour mps, es, _ public? good morning. yes, ithink labour mps, es, and _ public? good morning. yes, ithink labour mps, es, and that - public? good morning. yes, ithink labour mps, es, and that is - public? good morning. yes, ithink labour mps, es, and that is a - public? good morning. yes, ithink labour mps, es, and that is a big l labour mps, es, and that is a big if, we don't know yet, but we expect a decision in the coming days, if it is towards that number, 5.5%, i think a lot of labour mps would be supportive. they think this is a lot of reasons people voted for labour at the general election. they think it will go down well with the unions and it mightjust help to address this issue of recruitment and retirement, we have heard so much about that in recent years. —— retention. i think there will be a quiet nervousness in some quarters about any attacks it might open up from some opposition parties, especially the conservatives stop we will hear from jeremy hunt on laura kuenssberg's programme at nine o'clock. the precedent it sets as well, and this key issue that layla
7:05 am
brought up then, what does it mean for public spending later in the year? because this is higher than many expected in the treasury. it will cost billions extra. and as we heard, the iss saying, look, this could only come from higher borrowing, higher taxes, could only come from higher borrowing, highertaxes, or could only come from higher borrowing, higher taxes, or cuts could only come from higher borrowing, highertaxes, or cuts in spending elsewhere, if the ifs says there is no fourth option here. tony, thank you. and of course we will have more from that interview in the programme with laura kuenssberg at nine o'clock this morning. now let's look at some of the day's avenues. —— other news. donald trump has spoken in his first campaign rally since his attempted assassination last weekend. addressing thousands of supporters in the swing state of michigan amid tight security, mr trump claimed his democratic opponents were the enemies of democracy. 0ur senior north america correspondent gary o'donoghue was at the rally.
7:06 am
one week to the day after he was shot by an assassin, donald trump is back on the election campaign trail. almost two hours on his feet, attacking migrants, attacking the media, attacking a joe attacking migrants, attacking the media, attacking ajoe biden. for the way he walks, for the way he talks, attacking his iq. the cloud responded with huge cheers, practically at every sentence. thousands were left outside. if you expected unity to come after that assassination attempt, you will be waiting a long time, because donald trump is singing the old songs and his supporters love it. this will be a moment that democrats will worry about. they remained divided, they remain unsure aboutjoe biden as their candidate, and while they are that, they cannot take on donald trump and thejuggernaut that, they cannot take on donald trump and the juggernaut of his campaign. and in the last few hours, officials investigating the attempted assassination of mr trump have said the gunman flew a camera—equipped drone over the site ahead of the shooting.
7:07 am
they believe a drone found in thomas crooks' car was used to help pick the best line of sight for the attack, which happened at a rally in pennsylvania. israel has confirmed that it has carried out a series of air strikes on a houthi controlled port city in yemen, a day after it was hit by a drone launched by the group. 0ur correspondent barbara plett—usher joins us now from jerusalem. barbara, how significant is this attack? it is quite significant, quite a significant escalation in the gaza war, because the hootie rebels —— houthi rebels who control part of yemen have been targeting israel, they say in solidarity with the palestinians. but most of all those drones and missiles they have been firing have not done much damage because they were intercepted, and
7:08 am
then they hit tel aviv on friday and somebody was killed. this was the israeli response to that. it is the first time israel has directly attacked yemen, which is significant. it hit oil tankers in the port, and that caused massive fires. houthi separatists have now said they will respond to escalation with escalation. now, it is probably more of a threat to israel on its northern borderfrom hezbollah in lebanon, which is better armed than the houthis, it basically has a professional army and is much closer, and it has also been targeting israel because of the gaza war, and it says that this new strike on yemen opened up a new and dangerous phase. both hezbollah and the houthis are backed by iran, and so israel sees this as a wider conflict with iran, and now this particular front with the houthis in yemen has become much more volatile. barbara, for now, thank you. a man has been charged in connection with disorder
7:09 am
in a leeds suburb earlier this week. iustin dobre, who's 37 and from the harehills area, has been charged with violent disorder and arson. he's been remanded into custody and will appear at leeds magistrates�* court tomorrow. nhs england has warned of "continued disruption" to gp services into next week, after the global it outage on friday. despite a fix being issued across microsoft windows pcs, cybersecurity firm crowdstrike has said the systems would take "some time" to be fully restored. people on the spanish island of majorca are set to protest today against the impact of record levels of tourism. spain has seen a number of demonstrations across different cities in recent weeks, with locals arguing they're being priced out of housing and that visitor numbers are damaging the local culture and environment. 0ur europe correspondent, nick beake, sent this report from majorca.
7:10 am
british tourists are throwing themselves into their summer spanish getaways, escaping the weather back home. the beaches of magaluf packed with record numbers. tourism is powering the national economy, as the good times roll. down the road, the same sound, but a very different experience. sonia and her son luca can't find anywhere to live. she says many homes are bought up by foreign visitors or rented out to tourists at prices she can't afford. translation: it's hard to get up | every morning and start lookingl for a flat. the prices are higher every day. i stop people in the street and ask if they have anything, because the day is approaching when i will have to leave the apartment. i see me and my son homeless soon, because there is absolutely nothing. as spain's tourist hotspots have grown and grown over the decades, the debate has raged as to whether the millions of visitors bring more problems

than they do benefits. but this summer, it feels like something has changed. there's this new level of anger, with many locals saying that they've had enough. in barcelona, a fortnight ago, locals squirted visitors with water pistols — one of a number of recent protests across spain. "get out of our streets," was the chant. we can see the port, and we can see how some days are arriving like 12,000 people at the same time to the city. back in majorca, local activist perojoan is organising a demonstration this weekend. he wants a limit on visitor numbers and rejects the claim that tourism brings great wealth for the locals. this is a fake argument, because we see, like, the last years is arriving

more tourists than ever, more money than ever, but this money, where it goes, is going to the people or is going only to some economic powers, and this is what we are seeing. the green family, from rotherham, hope they're boosting the local economy. tourists boost it and make the money what it is for this sort of place. i don't see the problem. people travel around the world, don't they? and that's what these places are for, aren't they? for tourism. well, if no—one turned up than there'd be no shops here. there'd be nojobs, no wages, would there? tourism has bounced back after covid, but record levels are creating new problems, and provoking what could be an unprecedented backlash. nick beake, bbc news, majorca. with less than a week to go until the olympics kick off

the gift aid system, or funds levied from banks could be an option, i am not an economist but there are people who have suggested ways and means of finding additional funding to remove the two child. you know, my position is, what happens if we don't remove it? we are in a very difficult situation at the moment. in my liverpool riverside constituency, 47% of children are living in poverty, that is one in every two children. from my point of view that is unacceptable. and while i welcomed the prime minister's announcement last week of a task force to look at child poverty, we can't wait for two years for the task force to deliver. organisations like barnardos say we need to be looking at removing the two child immediately. what how much would it cost to remove it? it has been
7:32 am
estimated to cost in the region of £3.2 billion, but when you consider that a couple of weeks ago, the former tory government had to destroy £2.4 billion of ineffective ppe equipment, we are a rich country, ben, we have a sixth richest country in the world. we shouldn't have children going hungry, going to school with empty bellies. for me, this is a priority, and i would imagine it is a priority for a lot of mps dealing with the same issues in their constituencies. independent economists have looked at the sunset, something has got to give in all of this. as you said, putting a number on it, about £3.4 a year to scrap this cap, they say that would mean either other tax rises or cuts elsewhere. we know the role of government is to make difficult decisions about what is a country we can afford, and where that money will be spent. because it was not in the king 's speech, one
7:33 am
assumes it is not a priority of this government. assumes it is not a priority of this government-— government. well, it hasn't been included in _ government. well, it hasn't been included in the _ government. well, it hasn't been included in the king _ government. well, it hasn't been included in the king 's _ government. well, it hasn't been included in the king 's speech, i government. well, it hasn't been i included in the king 's speech, and so it isn't a priority. i hear what you are saying. but it is a priority, it has to be a priority, removing child poverty and dealing with and reducing child poverty, that should be a priority for all of us. 1997 labour government came in with a big bill programme to reduce child poverty, the expansion of childcare places, after—school provision, you know, and in that programme, it achieved what it wanted to in terms of reducing child poverty. i think we need to think big, not doing anything from my point of view would be catastrophic for the millions of children living in poverty at the moment. fries. for the millions of children living in poverty at the moment. yes, and i wonder therefore _ in poverty at the moment. yes, and i wonder therefore whether _ in poverty at the moment. yes, and i wonder therefore whether the - in poverty at the moment. yes, and ij wonder therefore whether the money would be spent better elsewhere in those sorts of schemes, rather than just in a benefit or a tax credit way. the old argument always goes
7:34 am
that if you cannot afford to have the children don't have them and don't expect other taxpayers to fund them. what would you make of that argument? l them. what would you make of that an ument? . ., them. what would you make of that art ument? . . . argument? i have heard that argument- — argument? i have heard that argument. but _ argument? i have heard that argument. but what - argument? i have heard that argument. but what people | argument? i have heard that - argument. but what people don't realise is that two—thirds of the people being affected by this legislation are in work. in work poverty is a major issue at the moment. people come in and out of universal credit on a regular basis. make what do you think about the decision of not having more children, if they are not able to pay for them? it children, if they are not able to pay for them?— children, if they are not able to -a for them? , ., . . ,, pay for them? it is not about making decisions. those _ pay for them? it is not about making decisions. those families _ pay for them? it is not about making decisions. those families that - pay for them? it is not about making decisions. those families that are i decisions. those families that are currently being affected would have had children, they might have been in work, they have lost theirjobs or they have become disabled. there are a number of reasons why people find themselves in this position, and it is about those people who are suffering in—work property. this country has suffered as a result of 40 years of austerity, covert and the cost of living crisis, doing nothing about child poverty should
7:35 am
nothing about child poverty should not be something that we need to be stalled, it should be something we do about immediately. to have you on the programme this morning. thanks for being with us. time to have a look at the sports news now. we have heard from louise about the weather, but there is a bit more weather chat to be had now, isn't there? , , . . , isn't there? yes, such as the affliction _ isn't there? yes, such as the affliction that _ isn't there? yes, such as the affliction that british - isn't there? yes, such as the| affliction that british sporting fans have during the summer, we must not only bring you sports news but when the news. it might actually not be the worst of the week for the final round at troon. that be the worst of the week for the final round at troon.— final round at troon. that is not sa in: final round at troon. that is not saying the _ final round at troon. that is not saying the most. _ final round at troon. that is not saying the most. yes, - final round at troon. that is not saying the most. yes, damning| final round at troon. that is not - saying the most. yes, damning with faint praise- — saying the most. yes, damning with faint praise. the _ saying the most. yes, damning with faint praise. the final— saying the most. yes, damning with faint praise. the final open - saying the most. yes, damning with faint praise. the final open should l faint praise. the final open should be interesting nonetheless because the last time it was at troon it was completely different. eight years ago, phil mickelson and henrik stenson played out what was called high noon at troon, blistering temperatures, amazing goals, low scoring. it is at the same place, everything else is expected to be
7:36 am
different, although they will be great competition, because seven players sit within a shot of the lead, heading into the final day of the open. the weather may still play a big part, but of those on the shoulder of the lead are billy herschel, justin rose and dan brown, attempting to become the first english champions since 1992. 0lly foster reports. what might have been. dan brown was top of the leaderboard, but troon in torrential rain was so cruel. the yorkshireman is making his major debut and is former champions wilted around him, he showed the resolve to rise to the top. he has made a mockery of his world ranking, just inside the top 300. he has played as well as anyone, but dropped shots down the final stretch were costly. links golf got the better of me, i suppose, in the last two holes. but yeah, overall, if you had told me at the start of the week i was going to be one or two shots back going into the final round i would have snapped
7:37 am

7:38 am
a bit of cloud is the worst they had at trent bridge, but that led extra significance to england's second innings effort in the second test against west indies. the home side lead by 207 runs, with harry brook's half century helping them to 248—3 heading into the fourth day. england took early wickets yesterday but west indies�* last pair inflicted some damage, not least to a nearby roof. they ended up 41 ahead and the game was finely balanced when ollie pope then ben duckett were dismissed. but harry brook helped guide england to the close. he�*ll be hoping to add to an overnight score of 71 when play gets back underway. that partnership at the end was a real crucial one for us, in terms of getting a grip of the game a little bit. you know, still certainly not in complete control, because as any test match tomorrow morning, it is going to be crucial moving forward, but certainly that partnership in tricky conditions, when it got dark and they got a new ball, it was tough conditions, so they bounce back really well. lando norris will be hoping he can claim his second win
7:39 am
of the formula one season at the hungarian grand prix this afternoon. he finished second last year to max verstappen, and after claiming pole in qualifying yesterday he�*ll be keen to swap positions with the dutchman this year. nick parrott reports. lando norris has a special helmet design this weekend. it is a tribute to the porcelain trophies handed out at the hungarian grand prix stop afterfinishing at the hungarian grand prix stop after finishing second last year, he accidentally broke max verstappen�*s first place prize, worth £35,000. he apologised and the two remain good friends, but there could be more drama between them on the track. mistakes by mclaren last time out at silverstone saw the dutchman pipped the briton to second place, but in quantum —— nullifying in hungary, norris and his team were perfect. they managed to get notjust pole but also his australian teammate, oscar piastri, alongside him on the front row. the first time mclaren has managed that for 12 years. the stubborn was left punching his steering wheel in frustration, as he finished third. —— verstappen. ftrier?

7:41 am
was emotional after making it through the mountains yesterday. pogacar holds a lead of five minutes plus after winning stage 20. he�*s on course for his third yellowjersey and the giro d�*italia—tour de france double, which hasn�*t been done since 1998. very few players have been the face of their sport for so long, but the tributes to six time world champion ray reardon, who has died at the age of 91, show he was a pivotal figure in snooker�*s history. the welshman dominated the sport in the 19705 and also played a key role in growing snooker�*s popularity. reardon was nicknamed dracula because of his distinctive hairstyle, and he turned professional after previously being a miner and police officer, and just as colour television was being introduced. another welsh world champion mark williams called him an inspiration. matthew hudson—smith smashed his european 400m record at london�*s diamond league meeting as he prepared to travel to paris for the olympic games, which start on friday. the world silver medallist ran 43.74 seconds to set the fastest time in the world this year. he missed the previous games in tokyo with injury and his world silver last year was achieved despite an achilles problem

hampering his preparations. olympic silver medallist keely hodgkinson improved her world—leading time to beat her british team—matesjemma reekie and georgia bell into second and third respectively, with all three recording personal bests. paris 2024 includes climbing events forjust the second time, and four of those competing for team gb are making their debut at the games. hamish mcarthur is heading to paris believing he has what it takes to win a medal, and we caught up with him in training in leeds. there was this quote that i sat at age three to my parents, which is that everything in my life is boring except climbing. and, yeah... before i had been to a climbing gym or anything, that wasjust i had been to a climbing gym or anything, that was just something. i just love it. there is a part of me thatjust just love it. there is a part of me that just feels a just love it. there is a part of me thatjust feels a need to explore.

7:44 am
have some really good performances, especially under pressure, and in these big moments, i am especially under pressure, and in these big moments, iam being hopeful, i think i could do some pretty crazy stuff. a lot of my family is coming out to watch me, a lot of my friends as well. that for me is really inspiring. 0r lot of my friends as well. that for me is really inspiring. or it inspires me to want to perform my best, and do it for right reasons, to know that a lot of people are behind me, supporting me, willing me on. and look out as well for toby roberts, the first man to qualify for the olympics" —— in climbing for team gb, because four years ago shawna cooksey was the first to do it overall. nestled between newcastle, sunderland and durham, 60 years ago this month, washington was officially designated a new town. designed to coincide with the gradual closure of mining pits across the uk, the plans merged 18 villages to create one big town

biggest stars, but there�*s a new celeb in town. in the grand atrium of the sphere, one of the city�*s newest venues, it�*s drawing big crowds. pauland donna, it is a pleasure to meet you. where are you visiting from? ireland. it�*s described by its makers as the world�*s most advanced humanoid robot... thank you for conversing with me. ..a claim i think i need to check out. but it turns out i didn�*t need to travel so far to do so. i�*m in falmouth, in the southwest of england. can this really be it? greeted by a robot. that�*s apt. 0h, hello! ..or not to be, that is the question. engineered arts has been making robots here for the past 20 years. they�*re sent all over the world to museums and places of entertainment. their movements are frighteningly realistic. in my spare time, i enjoy pondering philosophical questions, _
7:50 am
learning new things, - and engaging in conversations with fascinating humans like you. more of ameca later. but whilst i�*m here, ijust wanted to find out how you go about making a robot. i�*ve met humanoid robots before, but i have never been allowed into a workshop to see one being built, so this is pretty exciting. this one�*s trying some clothes on. all these plugs down here, it does sort of take the magic away a bit, doesn�*t it? it�*s not actually human. loads of screws in lots of different sizes. apparently, there are over 2,500 unique parts in each ameca. look at that tiny, tiny screw. it's very challenging fitting everything into a full—size robot. my guide today is marcus. these are our custom hands that we make in—house for ameca. we use a custom blend of silicon and pigment. these are amazing.
7:51 am
can i picka hand up? you can pick a hand up. a silicon hand. it feels sort of like a solid rubber glove. those nails. and once you see that come to life on the robot, it�*s obviously pretty different. i wouldn�*t use it for the washing—up. but the silicone is just outside and is largely cosmetic. the really clever stuff is making the hands move like a human. trying to imitate the wonders of the human body is an enormous challenge. human muscle is incredibly strong, it's incredibly small and it's very, very good, high speed and high force. now, in the robotics world, we don't have anything that tough, that light, that fast. so these, what we call the simple hands, they only have flex and extend on four digits, there's no real movement in the thumb. and then there are those piercing eyes. they follow you everywhere. if we're bringing a particular character to life, the eyeball will be painted to match the subject.
7:52 am
this is an ameca eye. it's been hand—painted. all ameca eyes are done in this style. now, if you wonder why there�*s a hole in the middle, it�*s notjust so that ameca looks real when you�*re looking at it, but it�*s looking at you. there�*s a camera behind there, and ameca can identify what�*s going on in the room. the first time we did it, we didn't have cameras in the eyes. so if you imagine there was a camera at the base of the neck, and usually there would be a small error and you'd miss, and it would always feel like the robot was looking at your ear or over your shoulder. you'd never feel like it made eye contact with you. they only make around 30 robots a year. a top—of—the—range one will set you back hundreds of thousands of pounds, though, so it�*s no wonder that they�*re expected to be able to get smart. ameca, tell me about life as a humanoid robot. life as a humanoid robot is a blend of curiosity and purpose. _ i interact with....
7:53 am
and hitting people. ..learn from every conversation. each interaction offers i a new perspective, a chance to connect, and an opportunity to foster understanding - between humans and ai. how have you found meeting me today? ah, meeting you today has been delightful. i your curiosity and openness make for a rich, engaging conversation. | very flattering, of course, but essentially just a string of words. ameca is using ai, in this case chatgpt, to give the impression it�*s holding a conversation. but it is just that. the way language models work is, they're very good at saying something that sounds right. the difference between a sentient human being and ai isjust vast, to be honest. we communicate with all kinds of subtle gestures, expressions, you know. if you start... your gaze starts wandering for a moment and i'll know that you're bored. robots can't really pick up on these things.
7:54 am
it�*s why some of the company�*s customers choose to enhance their robots in other ways. different customers like a different combination of things. one thing you can also do is actually use the human operator. some customers will prefer to do that. not going into too much detail, you might not always be talking to ai. ok, so sometimes there will be a human operator in another room combined with the movement to have the chat. oryou can combine, you know, sometimes human in the loop, sometimes ai. so don't always assume that you're talking to a machine. the movement of your hand is making me feel slightly uncomfortable. can you keep it down by your side so it doesn�*t hit me again? got it. i'll keep my hands by my side. let's continue our chat comfortably. so there you have it, an impressive interactive experience. the most advanced humanoid? possibly. but to get the full human experience still requires, well, a human.
7:55 am
ndreams reckons it is the biggest studio in the world which specialises in vr games. so we�*ve come to their studio here outside of london, where they�*re going to give us an exclusive look at their upcoming title. we pivoted to go completely in on vr in 2013. we kind of fell in love with virtual reality, tried the very first oculus headset and the playstation headset before it was announced, and we decided to go all in. we�*re surrounded by so many vr headsets everywhere you look. i mean, they�*rejust everywhere, all around us here. tell me about the history of vr. so vr was always an amazing idea. people wanted to create headsets that would immerse you and allow you to explore incredible, you know, fantasy worlds. but back in the 1990s, when they first sort of were building headsets, the technology just wasn�*t available. there we go. look at this monolith! oh, my days! it is showing its age a little bit.
7:56 am
but... how bad is this? do you mind if i put it on? no, go for it. here we go. you might get dust coming off... this is like back in the day. it barely fits... yeah. ..on my head. ah! they laugh and people thought this was the future. it wasn�*t really until 2012, a guy called palmer luckey realised that tech had caught up with the dream and created this thing called the oculus dk1, which meta bought. vr started to become a thing. early on, first few years, people tried sticking mobile phones in headsets and making all sorts of things, which didn�*t work terribly well. and it really wasn�*t until the quest, the ps vr 1, that the headset started to become really impressive. so, really, the last five years, stand—alone vr headsets have become a really big thing. it is a bit of a feat of engineering now, isn�*t it, when you compare it to having a massive screen strapped to your face? yeah. but compared to what you put on first, you can see the difference between, you know, between the lenses and just how powerful it is.
7:57 am
tell me about the new game. so we�*ve just announced a game called frenzies, which is a super—exciting multiplayer arena shooter. it�*s a crazy, fun game, really exciting, and shows that vr can be really social. it�*s not being about in a headset on your own, it�*s playing lots and lots of other people and having brilliant fun. well, i�*ve been told to suit up with my own quest 3 headset because ndreams has given click an exclusive first hands—on play of the game. # player one looking for player two... # and a few other people in the studio couldn�*t resist but whack on a headset, too, to play with us. # play with the trophy the game starts... # all right, i know i look ridiculous playing this. nobody can play a vr game and look cool, but i�*m having a really good time. from my experience behind the headset, frenzies is a fun shooting game where you physically crouch behind cover or reach up to grab a zipline.

there�*s also a mode where you try and hold on to a pig for the longest, which you could say i quite enjoyed. yeah, i got the pig, baby! we really tried to kind of get the kind of steer away - from the milsim shooter kind of vibe for it and wanted to go _ for more of a party, fun, i accessible way to do things. so when i played the game, ifound that i did use this cover system a fair bit, grabbing it and physically ducking down. although at the same time — though i did do that — i also did just duck down. yeah. you don�*t have to do it, do you? no, you don't. in the game, you can physically grab on to any surface environment. i so we didn't want to force players down a certain play style. - we didn't want to force i you to use cover to be good. we want it to be there i as an accessory, almost, to the mechanics. so that�*s it on the outside. but what does a vr game look like under the hood? the difference with vr is obviously, you are the controller, _ so you have different range of motion... i ..to how to control it.
7:59 am
but the same building blocks still apply. i now, if devon looks quite young to you, it�*s because he came through the ndreams academy, a scheme set up by the company�*s founder to help get more people from different backgrounds into the gaming industry. we created the ndreams academy about three or four years ago, which is a programme that we�*ve set up to focus on entry—level hiring. we�*ve hired about 60 people through that in its lifetime, which makes up about 20% of our workforce. why is it important to have people from different backgrounds working on games? it�*s really important to have a diverse cohort working, within any business. you have a diverse team and then you end up with a more diverse product. so we are super—excited about where vr and mr are going. so we're going to keep making great vr games. we're going to keep making great mr games. we're going to be hopefully growing and expanding and working on bigger and better games
8:00 am
as the market grows. well, that�*s all we�*ve got time for this week. thank you for watching. but i�*m going to let ameca have the last word. it's been great to be on the show. maybe i'll be a tv presenter myself one day. i knew it! bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thomson and luxmy gopal. 0ur headlines today... the chancellor, rachel reeves, hints she will award public sector workers above inflation pay increases. donald trump returns
8:01 am
to the campaign trail a week after surviving an assassination attempt. they keep saying he is a threat for democracy, what for democracy? last week i took a boat for democracy. israel launches air strikes on a houthi—controlled port in yemen, after a drone launched by the group hit tel aviv. in sport... billy horschel is the man to beat at the open as rain and wind battered the field at royal troon... the american�*s emerged with a one shot lead... with two englishmen among those on his heels and we speak to dennis taylor about his memories of snooker legend ray reardon, who has died aged 91. a much drier day in western areas today and fresher in the east. trial a today and fresher in the east. not a bad sunday — today and fresher in the east. not a bad sunday and _ today and fresher in the east. not a bad sunday and prospect. _ today and fresher in the east. not a bad sunday and prospect. all i today and fresher in the east. not a bad sunday and prospect. all the details coming up.
8:02 am
it�*s sunday, the 21st ofjuly. our main story. the chancellor, rachel reeves, has hinted that she will give public sector workers above—inflation pay increases. it�*s understood that independent pay review bodies have recommended rises of 5.5% for teachers and nhs workers, with inflation currently at 2 percent. ms reeves told the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg she would "make the sums add up". she�*s also announced a review of pensions in the hope of encouraging billions of pounds of investment in the uk. 0ur political correspondent, leila nathoo, has the story. millions of public sector workers are waiting to learn what their pay rises will be this year. independent pay review bodies make recommendations to the government of what percentage should be awarded. it�*s understood that ministers have been advised to raise the salaries of teachers and nhs workers by 5.5%, a rate that is above current inflation. it�*s now up to the new chancellor, rachel reeves, to decide if this is affordable when money is tight.
8:03 am
and this morning, a hint of her thinking. i really value public service workers in our schools, in our hospitals, in our police as well. at the moment, we are looking at those pay review body recommendations and doing the analysis, and we will work with public sector workers on that. but we also know that there is a cost to not settling a cost of further industrial action, a cost in terms of the challenge that we face in recruiting and retaining doctors and nurses and teachers as well. but we�*ll do it in a proper way and make sure that the sums add up. but a further decision looms if the proposed pay rises go beyond what the treasury has already budgeted for. there have been tussles in the past with unions over whether the money to fund them would have to come from existing departmental budgets. the funding element is incredibly important. schools are in the midst of a funding crisis also, and failure to fund a pay award
8:04 am
will lead to a deepening of that crisis. and that will mean that we have children with send without support, fewer support staff, fewer school trips, larger class sizes. so that is really important. if rachel reeves does decide she needs extra money, there are warnings it would have to come from borrowing more, raising taxes or cuts elsewhere. tough choices already for the new resident here. leila nathoo, bbc news. let�*s talk to our political correspondent tony bonsignore. tony, there are some hints from the chancellor in her interview with laura kuenssberg. how will they go down both in westminster and with voters? i in westminster and with voters? think it depends v comes i think it depends where the number comes because if the recommendation is for 5.5%, inflation running at 2% there is a big range. let�*s assume it comes in somewhere out towards
8:05 am
5.5%, a lot of labour mps will be happy, they think it is one of the reasons people voted for labour, they think it will smooth relations with the unions, call of some of the planned or threatened strikes. more generally it will help to deal with theissue generally it will help to deal with the issue of recruitment and retention which is something you heard rachel reeves talk about but there will be nervousness about political attacks may be from the conservatives on the approach to the economy from labour and also the cost of it because we have a budget coming, difficult choices ahead as rachel reeves will say and if it comes towards the 5.5% of the money will have to be found from somewhere, either spending cuts or higher borrowing.—
8:06 am
donald trump has spoken in his first campaign rally since his attempted assassination last weekend. addressing thousands of supporters in the swing state of michigan amid tight security, mrtrump claimed his democratic opponents were the enemies of democracy. 0ur correspondent, jenny kumah, reports. thousands turned out for this first rally since the shooting. security checks meant long waits, but many were determined to show their support. after what happened last week i hadn�*t planned on attending a rally this year because i�*ve been to so many in the 2016 and 2020 election, but i�*m here to show solidarity with trump that we do stand behind him. and as long as he stays in the fight, we�*re going to stand behind him now. he's bigger and better than ever. no, no, we love him. and i think he really, really, gelled the country, brought us together. a few days ago, after his near death
8:07 am
experience, donald trump called for unity in the country. yet within minutes of speaking at the rally, he attacked his rival. but what they do is misinformation and disinformation, and they keep saying he�*s a threat to democracy. i�*m saying, what the hell did i do for democracy? last week, i took a bullet for democracy. what did i do against democracy? it felt like a pop concert. the former president continued to sing the old songs, attacking the media, migrants and joe biden. the crowd cheered. his vice president warmed the audience up. speaking for the first time as donald trump�*s running mate at a rally. but there�*s some bad news, actually. the vice president, kamala harris, she doesn�*t like me. kamala harris said something to the effect that
8:08 am
i have no loyalty to this country. well, i don�*t know, kamala. i did serve in the united states marine corps and build a business. what the hell have you done other than collect the check? jd vance is seen as someone who can help his party win crucial working class votes here and in other key battleground states. donald trump won in michigan in 2016, but it flipped back tojoe biden in 2020. the republicans say their party is the most united it�*s been for decades, and they say that contrast with the democrats as questions continue over the future ofjoe biden in the presidential race. nearly three dozen democrats have called for mr biden to withdraw. the president says he�*ll continue to campaign next week after isolating with covid. he insists he�*s staying in the race to win it.
8:09 am
jenny kumah, bbc news, michigan. and in the last few hours, officials investigating the attempted assassination of mr trump have said the gunman flew a camera—equipped drone over the site ahead of the shooting. they believe a drone found in thomas crooks�* car was used to help pick the best line of sight for the attack, which happened at a rally in pennsylvania. israel has confirmed that it has carried out a series of air strikes on a houthi controlled port city in yemen — a day after it was hit by a drone launched by the group. 0ur correspondent barbara plett usher joins us now from jerusalem. barbara, how significant is this attack? it is significant in that it has implications for the wider middle east conflict. the houthi rebels
8:10 am
have been targeting israel for some time in solidarity with palestine but the missiles have not done much damage and have been intercepted but they killed someone in tel aviv on friday, and this is the first time israel had directly attacked yemen and hit oil tankers which caused massive fires and houthi said they would match escalation with escalation. the bigger threat comes from the northern borderfrom hezbollah in both groups and backed by iran so israel sees this as a wider conflict with iran that is being carried out on many fronts and now you have this particular front, the houthi becoming more dangerous in the yemen. a man has been charged in connection with disorder in a leeds suburb earlier this week. iustin dobre who�*s 37 and from the harehills area, has been charged with violent disorder and arson.
8:11 am
he�*s been remanded into custody and will appear at leeds magistrates�* court tomorrow. nhs england has warned of "continued disruption" to gp services into next week — after the global it outage on friday. despite a fix being issued across microsoft windows pcs, cybersecurity firm crowdstrike has said the systems would take "some time" to be fully restored. people on the spanish island of majorca are set to protest today against the impact of record levels of tourism. 0ur europe correspondent nick beake is there. nick, there have been a number of similar demonstrations across spain in recent weeks, how much disruption is expected later? it has been and we wait and see how big the protest will be later, activists and trade unions calling for thousands of people to make their voices heard on the island. the whole debate has raged for years
8:12 am
has grown up as all the hotels have shot up is whether there is a greater benefit to all these people coming or actually if it has a detrimental effect on the people that live here. housing is the big issue. many people, lots of locals in the ad being priced out either because of foreigners buying up property or lots of property being used to rent out to foreign visitors coming here for a couple of weeks or maybe a month. we spoke to some british tourists who said we bring lots of money when we come on holiday, hopefully br bringing a benefit to the local economy but a lot of people not happy, the latest in a series of protests and little this evening we will see how this one takes. with less than a week to go until the olympics kick off, more members of team gb are heading to paris today. members of the athletics and rowing teams are making their way
8:13 am
to the french capital on the eurostar this morning. 0ur reporter, sarah dawkins, is there for us. sarah, what�*s the atmosphere like? lots of athletes from both rowing and athletics will be here at st pancras heading to paris. the rowing team are arriving now, we are in a dedicated athletes lounge have that is breakfast and laid out to fill themselves before they get on the train and i am joined by two of the athletes heading to their very first olympic games, matt hibbert and lauren henry. rowing started as a hobby for you, now you are going to the other pics, how are you feeling? it is incredible, i never dream die would _ it is incredible, i never dream die would be — it is incredible, i never dream die would be in — it is incredible, i never dream die would be in this position but it has become _ would be in this position but it has become a — would be in this position but it has

8:16 am
chance of an isolated shower through the day. different story yesterday after the heat and humidity, more cloud clearing, sunny spells and a friendship feel so through the day dry weather for sunday, showers isolated to the west coast and patchy rain developing into a northern ireland litter. temperatures on the whole pleasant enough and the sunshine, 23 with light winds and some sunshine, a bit fresher up to the west and we might see isolated showers. the rain pushing into northern ireland, much betterfor pushing into northern ireland, much better for the golf pushing into northern ireland, much betterfor the golf and pushing into northern ireland, much better for the golf and into eastern scotland highs of 19—20. rain continuing to sweep east into monday, drierand continuing to sweep east into monday, drier and brighter elsewhere. new rules that come into force later this year will give drivers who use private car parks a io—minute "grace period" after their ticket expires — before they are charged
8:17 am
for overstaying. the measures are part of a new code of practice being introduced from october — but some campaigners say it doesn't go far enough. our reporter, natalie bell, has spoken to people who have previously been fined. many drivers will have experienced receiving one of these from a private car parking firm. but what's got people angry is the amount they're being charged and a system, which means they feel they're not able to challenge it. this is eastgate car park in louth run by euro car parks. they're trying to actually say that i didn't pay for parking on the day in question. this is my parking ticket. this was the machine that i got my parking ticket from. rachel is being fined £100 after parking in this private car park in louth. she'd paid for a ticket, but the machine didn't recognise the last three digits of her car registration.
8:18 am
it's just really not fair. it feels like an absolute con, an absolute con, taking this car park away from me because i won't use it any more. i refuse to use it because of what i've been through. asa was fined £270 for overstaying in the taco bell car park in hull. we were there for an hour and a half, two hours. and then a year later i get a letter saying that, you know, the bailiffs are going to come to remove property because of a parking fine. i tried my best to get through, but it had escalated so far that they ended up putting a cc] on my credit report. the fact that they can do that over something like this, i think is ridiculous. it's so out of proportion for what's actually happened. the people at taco bell are actually really great, but it was out at the time that taco bell could do anything about it. we contacted euro car parks but heard nothing back. creative car park say they give drivers multiple opportunities to appeal a parking notice. the british parking association say most drivers have the right to contest a parking ticket.
8:19 am
the most important thing to remember is that if you receive a parking ticket, don't ignore it. rules are set to change for private car parks, with a new code of practice coming into force, but campaigners say that falls short of the standards needed to protect drivers. it needs to be regulated. there's a lot of stress on you. you feel like your hands are tied and you're fighting a losing battle. people need to be more aware of what they're entering into when they enter these car parks. and they need to stand up for themselves and they need to fight. that was natalie bell reporting. simon williams from the racjoins us now. the the racjoins us now. word thatjumped out in thos interviews the word thatjumped out in those interviews was fairness, people saying it is just not fair, they are trying to do the right thing but the rules are confusing, if you slide and they are hit with a big fine that they find difficult to get rid

8:21 am
hopefully put an end to these stories had healing. a spokesperson for the british _ stories had healing. a spokesperson for the british parking _ stories had healing. a spokesperson for the british parking association i for the british parking association said the code is a key milestone to delivering federal and more consistent parking standards, do you think that is a fair comment. the? think that is a fair comment. they could have _ think that is a fair comment. they could have done _ think that is a fair comment. they could have done this _ think that is a fair comment. ire: could have done this years think that is a fair comment. ii9:1: could have done this years ago think that is a fair comment. i“i9:1 could have done this years ago but the official government backed parking code is about protecting the interests of drivers and making sure consumers are treated fairly subdued not have incidents like we had whereas our code is looking after the private companies. the official code puts an a cap on penalty charges, it also puts it on debt recovery fees because if you make a mistake and that hit with one of these notices all of a sudden you get a notice saying you will be
8:22 am
chased by a debt recovery company which is pretty horrific. it also puts in place a single independent appeal service so everyone has the right to a proper appeal and puts an rules on the way private parking companies operate singly have to get a certificate and a not be that they could lose the right. you will not those find those in the unofficial parking industry code. thank you. lots of people getting in touch with us. ., , , , lots of people getting in touch with us. , ., lots of people getting in touch with us. people saying they got a county courtjudgment _ us. people saying they got a county courtjudgment and _ us. people saying they got a county courtjudgment and got _ us. people saying they got a county courtjudgment and got their- us. people saying they got a county i court judgment and got their address courtjudgment and got their address wrong and the £30 fine has become £600. one of the drivers resort had a ccg and stella says she was issued a ccg and stella says she was issued
8:23 am
a £100 fine for a two minute display, display, delay in displaying and she said the appeal process is with nicholas, you cannot talk to anyone and have to do it online and if you write your e—mail address wrong they will disregard your appeal. address wrong they will disregard yourappeal. she address wrong they will disregard your appeal. she is still waiting a response. a lot of you finding it difficult. posting i will no longer go to conroe because so many of the car parks are private and even locals and up in arms, not only are drivers persecuted by local businesses are whizzing out. brian says he received a £100 fine for parking at a pub car park at the said there were no signs to indicate any charges. thank you for your comments so far. that is a small flexion of what we have heard. since they were first published nearly 80 years ago, enid blyton�*s malory towers books
8:24 am
have had children dreaming of adventures at boarding school. following a group of girls in post—war britain, a bbc adaptation of the books is now in its sixth series of filming. our reporter, johnny rutherford, went to visit the abbey where it's shot — and even bagged himself a role on—screen. this is malory towers season five, which has been running on the bbc and the bbc iplayer. right now season six is being shot. the studio work is done in bristol, but the filming locations are in devon and cornwall. i've been given a chance to be an extra, and i'm quite excited. is my hairok? which side you normally do your part in? it doesn't do anything! this is hartland abbey in north devon which for the tv series becomes the girls�*
8:25 am
boarding school, malory towers. you are in malory towers, aren't you? yes. i'm an extra, do you know where i need to go? that way. thanks. this is part of the set. i'm in the right place, i think. hello. are you an actor? no, i am johnny rutherford from bbc. lord and lady stucley often open the venue forfilming. it's fantastic for the local
8:26 am
economy, you know, in the heartland area with the all the accommodation providers and everything, because it's a quiet time of year you can't believe what this place looked like yesterday. i mean, this was covered in feathers and pillows and screaming children and look how brilliantly everybody's cleared it up. it was a pillow. it was a big pillow fight. and there were feathers everywhere. and i thought, goodness me, the dogs have caught a chicken or something awful. you know, i didn't know what was going on. everything gets put back shipshape at the end of filming. so careful. it'sjust wonderful. excuse me. do you know where i'm meant to be? i'm an extra. that way. oh, thanks. we have to be a bit quiet because they're filming just behind you. but how has it gone? yeah, it's gone very well. the crew is in a good mood, and we've got through 30 odd days now, so we've even got another six days left on location before we go into the studio. when we film in devon and we film in cornwall, we have a lot of people there coming up and saying how much they enjoy the show. i'm daryl, she's gwen in the show and we are arch enemies, but in real life we are actually best friends. it's been amazing. i'm definitely a life changing
8:27 am
experience for sure. 0h, what's all this? oh, dear. felicity and that new girl went into town without permission and bought them with their secret pocket money. felicity did what? what did miss grayling say? i haven't told her. you must. it's your duty as head. well, i told them i wouldn't. the sixth form girls have been in the show since they were 12. now 17. they have literally grown up on set. and you have to school here as well. is that right? for real? yeah. no. genuine school? yeah. sometimes we have to go off set and do some tutoring hours, which is great. but our schools are super supportive and we get our schoolwork sent in through there, so that's great. oh, and i see you're in costume as well. yes. so i'm waiting to be an extra. i've been promised it'll be in the back of a scene somewhere. amazing. and do you know where that might be. coming up soon? this way it's probably. at last. my big moment. johnny rutherford, bbc news.
8:28 am
i have never been an extra in anything, he is a step further than me. you have been inspired. laura kuenssberg is with you at 9am, here's what she has coming up all through the election campaign the labour party promised you they would get the economy to grow. well, the woman whose job it is to make that happen, the first female chancellor, rachel reeves, has given us her first tv interview since moving into number 11. how is she going to make that happen? is she really going to give public sector workers more cash? that, and plenty other of questions for rachel reeves in her interview this morning. we'll also be joined by the former chancellor, jeremy hunt, who's just moved out of downing street. how does he think the tories can rebuild after getting hammered at the polls? both of those interviews and plenty
8:29 am
more over on bbc one at nine. that's coming up later, but let's have a look at what is coming up later this week. later this week, a new bid to legalise assisted dying, for people with six or fewer months left to live, will go before parliament. the private member's bill seeking to allow terminally ill adults to end their life will be introduced by the formerjustice secretary lord falconer on friday. earlier this year, we spoke to the actor and campaigner liz carr, who said that any moves to change the law will leave vulnerable people — including those with disabilities — at much greater risk. assisted suicide, we always hear that it is about choice. what happens when you feel that you have no choice but to use it? what about when it is easy because it is there? because it is legalised? what we are seeing in countries like canada but also in the netherlands and belgium is that those safeguards that begin, they whittle away. when we say that
8:30 am

8:32 am
why two doctors in the high court judge is a vital safeguard that we are providing. it makes that choice made by somebody who is dying probably the most safeguard your choice at the end of life process that anybody could have. it is much more safeguarded than any other aspect of treatment.— aspect of treatment. there is the sli- -e aspect of treatment. there is the slippery slope _ aspect of treatment. there is the slippery slope argument, - aspect of treatment. there is the slippery slope argument, how- aspect of treatment. there is the i slippery slope argument, how could it be guarded against that? in those countries where _ it be guarded against that? in those countries where the _ it be guarded against that? in those countries where the basis _ it be guarded against that? in those countries where the basis of - it be guarded against that? in those countries where the basis of the - it be guarded against that? in those countries where the basis of the law is only for terminally ill people, then the right to an assisted death only applies to those who are terminally ill. in those other countries where intolerable suffering is the base at the beginning of the law, you see it extend to people who i would not agree at all should have an assisted death. if you start at places like oregon, the first country, the first state in the world that did it come

8:40 am
reardon, not only on the table but off the table. he was a master tactician on the table, i would have him on my top eight players of all time, he was that good. i will never forget 1976, when the world championship was played at middlesbrough town hall, and the wythenshawe forum, and ray was up in middlesbrough. he beat me in that role championship, and is the best snooker anyone has ever played against me, and that includes the great ronnie o'sullivan, steve hendry, steve davis. he had to go down and play alex higgins in wythenshawe when they had split the world championship up, so he wasn't going to give alex the advantage of playing in the same table. he complained about the table, they adjusted it, put new commissions on, and he made alex higgins 27—16 that year. he was the first superstar in the world of snooker, and i will
8:41 am

8:42 am
way he could tell stories. you mentioned the trick shot there. i want a lot of my trick shots with ray, and watching him play. he did one trick shot that nobody ever did. it was a cannon, he'd be in a club, may be a working man's club, and it would throw a ball to the floor, and the ball would run along the end of the ball would run along the end of the floor and finish up in the corner if there is a slight slope on the floor. he would then play a cannon off the ball on the table, bounce it onto the floor, and the white ball would follow the same path as the other one, and he would get a cannon with the ball at the other end of the snooker room. i've never seen anyone do that. the great ray reardon could do it. his machine gun shot, he was one of the best. he played that one on michael parkinson's show. he was a genius at the machine gun shots as well, the rapid—fire shot. haste the machine gun shots as well, the rapid-fire shot.— rapid-fire shot. we have seen ictures rapid-fire shot. we have seen pictures of— rapid-fire shot. we have seen pictures of him _ rapid-fire shot. we have seen pictures of him with _ rapid-fire shot. we have seen pictures of him with ronnie i pictures of him with ronnie o'sullivan. the reason we have seen those pictures as you have been
8:43 am
talking is because he helped mentor him to his 2004 world title. only ronnie o'sullivan and stephen hendry have more titles than ray reardon, c can understand those two teaming up. why the ronnie sought out ray for those help? the comic ronnie had everything, but ray's tactical game was second to none gimmick. ronniejust ronnie just loved ronniejust loved it when he met ray reardon because of his personality, because of the character that ray was. i think ronniejust loved being around him, and he was infectious. when ray reardon walked into a room, it was amazing the atmosphere that everybody had for him, and that happened even up to recently, because he came along, and there is a lovely photograph ken doherty posted of cliff thorburn, myself, ken, ray reardon, seven world champions put together, and we
8:44 am

8:45 am
i do the sport because i love it, and to make it to a third olympic games is huge and ifeel really proud to have achieved that. i wasn't sure if i would ever make it to the olympics, let alone three times. bronze in tokyo added to the silver bryony won in rio. there's now only one colour missing from the olympic set. it's been my most successful few years in terms of competition results. world champion twice, european champion twice, and world silver medallist. the most important thing is, ijust want to do the best routine that i possibly can. that upturn in major championship success has come since bryony moved to join poole gymnastics and trampolining club. i feel like the environment is amazing. it's both fun and professional and productive, and just the perfect balance, and i can kind of be a bit silly sometimes and have fun, and that's what trampolining is all about, just kind of showing
8:46 am
who you are on the trampoline. having competed in synchronised trampolining alongside club team—mate izzy songhurst in recent competitions, the pair will now go head to head in the individual event in paris, with synchro not being included at the games. we really want each other to do well, but we also want ourselves to do our best, so i think it's not really competition between each other, it's just that we both want to do the best we can, and we want to support each other so that they, the other can achieve that. with all the training now done and routines finalised, focus has turned to trying to enjoy the olympic experience despite the pressure. i can't control other people and what they do. as long as i'm happy with my approach to the competition in the training and hopefully the competition goes well, i can be proud of that, and happy. bryo ny bryony and a host of team gb athletes heading south to paris. our eyes are heading north to troon. whatever the weather, whoever the
