12:30 pm
at called it a "complicated situation." least we have 9 picture at least we have got much fuller picture of this morning. let's allow investigators to do their work, and then bring the recite —— the right actions as a result of those investigations. you're watching bbc news. let's get more now on an incident at manchester airport last week, and new footage has emerged which ended with a police officer kicking a man in the head. the cctv appears to show how three officers were trying to make arrests, when two men punched two of them to the floor. speaking to ben boulos on bbc breakfast, the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, has urged people to allow the authorities to continue their investigation. it is an extremely difficult situation, but at least this morning
12:31 pm
it has moved forward a degree, because people now have a fuller picture, and it confirms what i said last week, which is that this is a situation that escalated very quickly, a very violent situation, issues on both sides. the key now is that we allow the two parallel investigations to complete their work. so there is one investigation ongoing into a number of assaults, and that is a police investigation. four people are on police bail. and there's a second into police conduct. so it is really important now, lots of people have had their say on this very competitive situation in recent days, we understand that, but it is now important that we go forward from here with those two investigations so that all the right actions can be taken as a result. it’s so that all the right actions can be taken as a result.— taken as a result. it's an absolutely _ taken as a result. it's an absolutely fair _ taken as a result. it's an absolutely fair point - taken as a result. it's an absolutely fair point to l taken as a result. it's an - absolutely fair point to allow the investigation to run its course, but
12:32 pm
people want answers. there are tensions as a result of this. when will we know? when will the investigation would give us answers as to what happened? i do understand that frustration, _ as to what happened? i do understand that frustration, and _ as to what happened? i do understand that frustration, and i _ as to what happened? i do understand that frustration, and i felt _ as to what happened? i do understand that frustration, and i felt it _ as to what happened? i do understand that frustration, and i felt it to - as to what happened? i do understand that frustration, and i felt it to a - that frustration, and i felt it to a degree, because when you have footage that is subject to a potential criminal trial, it can't just be put out into the public domain. but the world in which we live is that some of the deal emerges and other of the deal cannot be released. it is obvious that computed situation. but you can't put a timeline on these things, these are careful considerations that have to be made now about the whole incident, looking at the whole thing starts to finish. —— it is obviously a complicated situation. then the rightjudgments need to be made about the accountability. but as the mayor overseeing manchester police, is it likely to be days,
12:33 pm
weeks, months? just a rough timeline. i weeks, months? just a rough timeline. . ., , weeks, months? just a rough timeline. . , timeline. i have said as quickly as ossible, timeline. i have said as quickly as possible, obviously _ timeline. i have said as quickly as possible, obviously given - timeline. i have said as quickly as possible, obviously given the - timeline. i have said as quickly as| possible, obviously given the huge interest in the whole issue, and i think everybody can see that there is a public interest in that, but you cannot really put a timeline on investigations, they take as long as they take. at least now there is a fuller picture in the public domain, and as i was saying last week, it is much more complicated than was first made out. we live in a world where something appears, a fragment, and everybody rushes to judgment, and then anotherfragment, everybody rushes to judgment, and then another fragment, and then every body makes a judgment on that. it is very difficult, but we should now accept that there are two parallel investigations. they have got to be allowed to complete their work, and then eventually a line will be able to be drawn. but as i say, serious issues to be investigated here on both sides. usman nawaz from the rochdale
12:34 pm
community alliance, has told the bbc the "extremely disturbing" footage was not the policing we recognise in this country. it's helpful to see that the footage has been released because one of the things that lots of people in the community had been saying for quite a period of time since the initial viral video came out is, what actually happened before? so it's helpful to see that. what we can see is that there clearly has been some violence towards the police but we also have to look at, actually, that the police approach that particular individual in blue, who was facing the parking machine, in what appears to be quite an aggressive manner. so i think it's important to say that violence towards the police is not acceptable, and equally, what the response that we witnessed from the officer, kicking the head of that young man, is equally not acceptable. and one thing that we actually seen in the footage released from manchester airport cctv is the fact that the guy in the blue actually goes down quite quickly. and it appears that he has been tasered, hence the speed with which he hits the ground.
12:35 pm
so it looks like somebody who was already incapacitated but was being struck quite violently. but at the same time, we would absolutely condemn any violence towards the police. there has clearly been anger in the communities, not only in rochdale but across the country. but i think generally, we have engaged positively and lots of people in the community have engaged positively with the police and other authorities, and even young people have kind of been having conversations with, you know, various community people and expressing their concern in an appropriate manner. so i wouldn't say tensions have been inflamed but i think what this piece of footage actually provides is greater context. but what we don't actually understand is, or know for sure at the moment, is what actually caused the police intervention in the first place. so it's almost a case of really understanding that part of the story as well. but i think actually, having this greater clarity provides that context. but at the same time, i think we should be clear in that the actions of the officer,
12:36 pm
of kicking that person on the ground in that particular way, is very uncharacteristic of british policing and something that we are not used to and should be called out as equally as the violence towards the police. chancellor rachel reeves will make a statement to mps tomorrow where she will set out what she claims is the financial black hole in the public finances. ahead of tomorrow, environment secretary steve reed has accused the conservatives of "covering up" the full extent of the uk's financial pressures. it has been reported that ms reeves is set to officially delay a raft of road and hospital schemes as the chancellor seeks to fill an estimated £20bn fiscal hole she claims was left by the last conservative government. with me is our political correpondent rajdeep sandhu. what can we expect from the chancel tomorrow? she what can we expect from the chancel tomorrow? . . , what can we expect from the chancel tomorrow? ,, ., , , ., , , , , tomorrow? she has been assessing the books and the — tomorrow? she has been assessing the books and the treasury _ tomorrow? she has been assessing the books and the treasury will _ tomorrow? she has been assessing the books and the treasury will outline - books and the treasury will outline what they— books and the treasury will outline what they have found, we will get that in _ what they have found, we will get that in black—and—white tomorrow, she will_ that in black—and—white tomorrow, she will stand up in the commons and

12:39 pm
going on, and it's catastrophic. it's worse? there were things that we could not have known during the election, because the conservatives had not only not released the information but in some cases they'd deliberately covered up. plenty more on that from the chancel tomorrow, but today as far as the tories are concerned, they have another candidate in the leadership race. we another candidate in the leadership race. . ., another candidate in the leadership race. ~ ., . another candidate in the leadership race. . ., ., race. we now have five official candidates — race. we now have five official candidates. the _ race. we now have five official candidates. the latest - race. we now have five official candidates. the latest one - race. we now have five official candidates. the latest one is i race. we now have five official- candidates. the latest one is dane priti patel. — candidates. the latest one is dane priti patel, she has written in the telegraph— priti patel, she has written in the telegraph today outlining her case as to _ telegraph today outlining her case as to why— telegraph today outlining her case as to why she thinks she would be best leader for the conservatives. -- dame — best leader for the conservatives. —— dame priti patel. she talks about the need _ —— dame priti patel. she talks about the need to— —— dame priti patel. she talks about the need to unite the party, she said it _ the need to unite the party, she said it was — the need to unite the party, she said it was not conservative values that lost _ said it was not conservative values that lost in — said it was not conservative values that lost in the election, there are still popular with many people in the country, it was the politicians that failed, all the divisions within— that failed, all the divisions within the conservative party, and she talked — within the conservative party, and she talked about being a kind of grown-up— she talked about being a kind of grown—up politician. she also places a ioch— grown—up politician. she also places

12:43 pm
it is going to be an absolute privilege to be out there. i am loving it again. i saw a beautiful little shot of your son. don't be talking about my son, it makes me cry. he goes, "daddy, are you the fastest boy?" laughter. that's what he says. even if i had not seen him for two weeks, that is all he cares about, i guess. british success came in weather they were used to. on the streets, they postponed the first skateboarding events. on the roads, it made for a time trial on a tightrope. a 32 kilometre race against rain. for some, four years of work slipped away on the cobbles. 0h! well, everybody is crashing. but britain's anna henderson went for control. as a junior, she raised in slalom skiing, and this year on the bike, she has broken her collarbone twice. so in these conditions, just to cross the line was brave. her time was good enough for britain's first silver medal. it is a super cycling silver for great britain, for anna henderson! grace brown of australia won gold by more than 90 seconds.
12:44 pm
but henderson's career high had come about through caution. yeah, i was a bit of a grandma through the corners, but that paid off and i used the power on the straights. and, yes, i can't believe it! i burst into tears when i found out. so all that effort this year has been worth it. to achieve a goal like this is unbelievable. in the men's race, josh tarling finished two seconds off a bronze. he lost time when he changed his bike for repairs. cruelly, the puncture meant he missed out on the podium. but britain's divers were on the right end of a twist. yasmin harper and scarlett mew jensen moved into the medals when they took their last dive, but everybody expected australia to go past them. 0h! anything can happen in diving. a routine score would have put them in bronze, but on the left of the screen, a slip on the board. their agony had brought team gb history. bronze and a medal in a women's diving event, for the first time since 1960.
12:45 pm
it's been a thing. the girls have not had a medal in so many years, so coming in today, we really wanted to put our best foot forwards, and show what we can do, and to come away with the first medal for so long in women's diving is incredible. this start to the games bought the house a lasting moment. cheering. this is antoine dupont, who since the rugby world cup, has learned to play sevens. nine months of work had led to this night. france had not qualified in tokyo for this sport, and in fiji, they beat the reigning champions. hearts are exploding in joy. music: non, je ne regrette rien by edith piaf. the first gold for france, dupont�*s greatest gamble. he left with no regrets.
12:46 pm
some breaking news coming into us, a late and craft has come down in a field south of york. emergency services are being told that in response team and the ambulance are at the scene. north yorkshire police say the news was reported at 9.50 this morning. a light aircraft coming down at a field south of york, more on that as we get it. our sports correspondent katie gornall is at the bercy arena as excitment builds ahead of the women's gymnastics qualifying and further possible medals for team gb. well, there was excitement in the air here at the arena as these fans gathering in the arena here get ready to get their first glimpse of simone biles in competition here in paris. she is, of course, a global superstar, the most decorated gymnast in history with seven olympic medals to her name, four of them gold. but remember, there was a time when we didn't know if we would see
12:47 pm
simone biles at an olympics again. after the trauma that she experienced in tokyo, she withdrew from the team events at those games, most of the individual events, after developing a mental block called the twisties that affected her spatial awareness mid—air. she took two years off competition after those games to focus on her mental health, but she is now here, back competing. she's calling this her redemption tour, and she will certainly receive an awful lot of support here later. first up, though, in qualification is team gb. now, they've been hampered by injuries coming into these games. they will hope to make it safely through to their team and individualfinals. there is so much, of course, going on elsewhere at the la defense arena tonight. adam peaty goes in the final of the 100m breaststroke. now remember he is going for his
12:48 pm
third straight olympic gold medal in that event. he obliterated the field in tokyo in rio, but because of issues that he's had in his personal life, some injuries and other problems coming into these games, it isn't quite the foregone conclusion that it has been in the past. however, he did qualify fastest for this final. he looks very calm, he looks very confident, and i think there'll be a lot of excitement around team gb for that race. also at roland garros, we're going to see andy murray in first round action in the men's doubles. he's playing alongside dan evans. he's got four olympic gold medals to his name, murray, two of them gold. and remember this is his final tournament before heading into retirement and bringing the curtain down on a glittering career. so he'll want to go deep into that tournament and continue this great start that team gb have been enjoying to these games. rugby league's kevin sinfield says he's committed to three more challenges to raise money for mnd charities in honour of his friend rob burrow, who died last month. the former leeds rhinos captain and now england coach
12:49 pm
was at the university of leeds to receive an honorary degree, as amy garcia reports. i'm honoured to present - to you for the degree of doctor of laws, honoris causa, kevin sinfield. - kevin, congratulations. what does this honorary degree mean to you? thank you. ijust think it's incredibly humbling to be here today to share in a special day with so many people who have worked so hard. and being amongst so many people who are graduating and with their family and friends, and it's such an important day for them. so, yeah, ifeel very humble. looks great to be back in leeds. you're a lad from the other side of the pennines, but yorkshire, leeds in particular is really special to you, isn't it? less yorkshire, more leeds. rob inspired me to be a better person, a betterfriend, to be more kind, to think of others. by doing this, amazing things happen. life becomes so much more fulfilling and special. that beautiful speech, it was very much about love
12:50 pm
and friendship, wasn't it? i played in a team for a long time where medals and trophies were so important. but now we're finished, it's the memories and the friendships that are what we all hold the dearest. and to make the most of the special moments we have with people we love and care about, and to cherish those moments. rob has been a huge part of my life. when you think we played together for so long, and then how close we became over the last four and a half years. and i spoke about him today. i think his impact across the uk, throughout the mnd community, will never be forgotten. together, you and rob raised over 15 million for mnd charities. you always said that you were just helping out a mate. the challenges, the fundraising, does that continue now? yeah, probably more so than ever. the challenge is to, you know, i've committed to another three, you know, probably first time i've said that.
12:51 pm
but it means we've done seven running challenges then. can you tell us any more about that? well, the first one is the only one that had been planned. the next two, we'll see what happens. how will you best remember rob? in probably the best way possible, which was that smile. obviously the stuff he did on the field was incredible, but everybody saw the bloke in the dressing room. the guy who was cracking jokes and what he's done the last four and a half years, i think for somebody to be so brave and courageous is, it just shows what a special guy he is and was. and it won't be forgotten. the television presenter laura whitmore has alleged she was subjected to inappropriate behaviour while taking part in strictly come dancing eight years ago. she didn't name who was involved in her case, but she was paired with professional dancer giovanni pernice, who's previously denied threatening or abusive behaviour, and has since left the programme. in a statement on social media, laura said, "i thought my experience
12:52 pm
was specific to me but i've since learned i was wrong. the aim of this is to show a pattern of behaviour that i believe needs to stop. i am not looking for anything, just an acceptance that what happened to me in the rehearsal rooms during my time on bbc strictly was wrong and that it won't happen to anyone else again." blackpool illuminations have been a draw for visitors for more than 100 years, and preparations are already underway ahead of this year's switch—on. earlier this week, some of the upcoming displays were revealed and our reporter ian haslam went to take a look. blackpool�*s big switch—on is the biggest night of its events calendar. for many years, celebrity tv designer laurence llewelyn—bowen has led the illuminations illuminati. now he's come up with this donkey—based feature. tell me about this. i can't work out. it's either the work of a genius or a madman. i love the fact that you are absolutely right. it is perfectly poised between pleasure and pain. donkeys are so synonymous with blackpool. and actually i love
12:53 pm
the idea of northern soul. and i love the idea of ice creams, and i love the idea of kind of mushing all together. now, people want that kind of, you know, instagram—able moment. something this town is rarely short of. blackpool design is like design you won't find anywhere else in the uk. but of course this is what inspired las vegas. we did it here first. even though we're world leading, we're the ones that always understated, but i think not so much this year. yeah, and the ice cream as well. it's not quite the tallest around, but... this is the most frustrating thing. we found out this morning that it's not the tallest ice cream in the world. so we have decided that actually we can get over this inadequacy by adding a 30 centimetre cherry. what we create here in blackpool is art, light art. and it's an amazing display which can be, you know, seen from space, which people have an amazing amount of affection for. do you think some astronauts go into space just to look down and see the blackpool lights? i would hope so.
12:54 pm
this year, local art students have helped with the designing. i mean, i remember going- when i was quite little as well, and i've never really thought too - much about the design process of it. i think it's quite interesting - for a lot of people to see newer, newer designs coming in. at blackpool�*s new short town museum of entertainment, there's a gallery dedicated to the illuminations. kids or adults can design their own and see what they look like. oh, and there it is on the prom. arguably my finest hour, this. blackpool�*s history with illuminations runs back all the way through to 1878, when we first installed electric streetlights on the promenade, and thousands of people came to the prom to see them be switched on, and it's snowballed from there. this is the old and the new is very much thriving as well, isn't it? it is. yeah. i mean, the format has still been the same. it boosts civic pride and it celebrates blackpool�*s local history. this year's illuminations
12:55 pm
switch—on is on august 30th. ian haslam, bbc news. some pictures coming into us from venezuela where people are queueing up venezuela where people are queueing up to vote, pulls opened a short time ago in a presidential election that has been seen as the most consequential in a generation. 17 million people are registered to take part. the socialist president is seeking a third consecutive term but he has trailed his main opponent in opinion polls. there has been widespread concern about whether the vote will be free and fair after his opponent said there will be a bloodbath if he is defeated. we will bring you the latest later on. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. the first half of the week will be quite hot particularly across southern and central areas of the uk. let me show you the satellite
12:56 pm
picture with the jet superimposed. here it is, this big red line hot air to come in from the south, the bad weather that was affected paris and the opening ceremony. here in the uk, admittedly it is not clear everywhere, the blue skies for the south, in scotland and northern ireland have at it with a more hazy with fair weather clouds, and cooler around 21 celsius in belfast and glasgow, but the rest of the country, typically in land, in the mid 20s. so after a warm and sunny day, it will be a warm and clear night, butjust to the north—east this week when the front trying to push on, does not make much progress but in the rest of the country, a dry and sunny morning. and we do it all over again on monday, with high pressure in charge and just week weather fronts trying to move into north—western parts of the uk. so right from the word go, it is a blue
12:57 pm
sky is once again across many parts of england and wales. a little bit more cloud here in the north—east of the uk, just the risk of a shower here and there, so cruel, around 20 celsius, but the bulk of england and wales into the 20s and the high 20s expected across the south—east and east anglia. and the heat will continue to build as we head through the course of tuesday, that hot air spreading in from france, there were quite oppressive for the olympics, in the south of france pushing 40 celsius, paris the mid 30s. we might even get around 3132 in some southern and south—eastern parts of the uk. i will speed up the weather forecast, tuesday into wednesday, then wednesday night with the heat, we are going to see some showers and thunderstorms developing, i think more specially by the time we get to thursday, but trying to pinpoint where they are going to be at this stage is going to be very hard. but here is a summary for the week ahead, increasing cloud here indicating those storms are starting
12:58 pm
