6:07 am
minister, prime minister, home secretary and justice secretary, and in the aftermath of that meeting, keir starmer said that the police have their full support to take action against what he called extremists who are attacking police officers, disrupting local businesses and attempting to so hated by intimidating communities. they have been trying to get ahead of all of this for several days now, bringing together police forces on thursday, encouraging them to share intelligence, talking about using facial recognition to stop perpetrators from travelling around the country. i have also brought in extra prosecutors this weekend. the idea being that if people can see that some people are being charged for these offences, that might make them think twice about whether to go out and commit violent offences on the streets. so the language that we are hearing from government is really quite tough, but there is clearly still quite a lot of work to do to stop this violence from

6:13 am
england and wales staying dry for a good part of the day for the best of any sunshine toward the south and east, not as warm as recent days. waking up to a much fresher start. 23 degrees in london. we have the heavy rain setting in, temperatures mid to high teens here in the rain will be quite persistent late on into the evening and overnight as well. it will turn particularly windy. we could see just up to 45 miles an hour in the far north—west of scotland. england and wales staying largely dry tonight. temperatures down to 12 degrees or so but a milder night further north where you have cloud and outbreaks of rain around. that theme will stick around into monday so this cold front moving into the north—west, quite slow—moving so rain is mounting up. wins coming from a south or southwesterly direction ahead of the cold fronts of that will bring us warmer, more humid airthrough of that will bring us warmer, more humid air through the north of monday. rain will be heavy we could
6:14 am
say 50 75 millimetres of rain across west of scotland, some localised flooding. even later on particularly for northern ireland coming in wales again mostly dry and we will see highs of 25, 20 six degrees tomorrow, warmer than today. typically high teens or low 20s towards the north. we still have low pressure across the north—west as we head into tuesday. this weather fundamentally moves its way gradually eastwards across england and wales but tending to ease away with a few showers left, a bit of cloud. heading towards the southeast, behind that i returned to sunshine, fresher conditions and blustery showers moving into the north—west. temperature is pretty typical for north—west. temperature is pretty typicalfor this north—west. temperature is pretty typical for this stage in august. eyes around for being 25 north to south on tuesday. similar on wednesday, the cold front clear the way to the east so we have a westerly flow of air bringing sunshine and showers for most. and more persistent rain across west of scotland. further south, more persistent rain across west of scotland. furthersouth, higher scotland. further south, higher pressure, scotland. furthersouth, higher pressure, so looking generally try

6:16 am
now with help from michaela and alice at community bees, the house is slowly being cleared. the company works with the most isolated and loneliest of people, and that is people that are hoarders mainly. i want to write a book. she listened and she didn't try to control me. she let you talk and go through it and that has worked for me rather than people saying they clear you in a couple of days. hoarding is a complex condition. john buys newspapers and cuddly toys that stay in their boxes. it started after his mother died due to a mixup, john didn't get to the hospital in time. i lost a bit of focus in that because i thought, you know, my mother and father, we were a very close family, i was there for my dad and not for my mother. i should have been there. that was part of a thing of punishing yourself, you are never
6:17 am
forgiving yourself. with us working on a one—to—one, very slowly, understanding and letting them talk if they want to talk, we don't ask questions. it is entirely up to them if they want to talk, and having a laugh with them as we go, it works. john is slowly changing his mindset and feels optimistic that he can get better with support. just put these in the drive. lottery money given to them will help them trap others doesn't help them trap by positions i no longer need or want. let's look at what's on the front of today's newspapers, starting with the 0bservatory, it says ministers want writers to pay the price for violent that was seen across the country over the last few days, it is calling the worst outbreak of civil disorder in britain for more than a decade. it means the courts could sit for 24 hours earlier to help us track the sentencing of
6:18 am
those responsible, the sunday telegraph suggesting the ministry of justice is in discussions with the judiciary about keeping magistrates courts open all night to help deal with that unexpected surge in the number of people currently in custody. the times has a story about if you —— fewer teenagers choosing to study for degree as looks at a drop in the applications for the second year in a row, the sunday mirror back pages it is cold for team gb robers but the triple 0lympian gymnast vows out without a medal and what is his last ever games. it can be frustrating if you go out for a walk and instead of looking up and enjoying the views and fresh air you have to keep your head down and i on whether step you have to keep your head down and ion whether step on any dog dirt. pet owners and a popular beauty spot in lincolnshire told they had to clean up or risk losing access altogether as our reporter courts.

6:37 am
out a new relationship with the sea. really what i want is for the community to get in touch with the ocean because that is the only way we will take care of the ocean. and... i come face—to—face with one of the giants of this unique marine environment. is that a whale? wow! iam i am starting myjourney on the island of hispaniola, shared by haiti and the dominican republic. this is my first time ever in the caribbean. iam in this is my first time ever in the caribbean. i am in the dominican republic in the capital city santo domingo and it actually feels quite european. in fact, this is the oldest cathedral in all of the americas and it was built nearly 500 years ago. it is a legacy of the
6:38 am
spanish variety of ice each in the late 15th century. spearheaded by christopher columbus on his maiden voyage to the region. spain became the first european colonisers in the americas was also decimating the indigenous population. centuries later, the spanish legacy is still very strong. when it comes to music, on this island, you won't hear much reggae. instead, it is the more latin feel of merengue and the chatter. i am latin feel of merengue and the chatter. iam meeting latin feel of merengue and the chatter. i am meeting the country was making of music. it actually originates from the dominican republic?
6:39 am
singing as well as his spanish roots, it is thought it is few strong influence from the enslaved africans who were brought here and the indigenous people who were displaced during colonisation. it's infectious
6:40 am
melodies and attract passers—by. singing yeah, ithink yeah, i think especially back home in the uk, whenever you think of the caribbean, it is barbados, jamaica. i am mixed caribbean, it is barbados, jamaica. iam mixed race caribbean, it is barbados, jamaica. i am mixed race and jamaican farmer, british mother, it has opened my eyes up to the spanish culture and the latin influences. but what draws most people to the caribbean are the incredible beaches and extraordinary maline life. the dominican republic boasts over a thousand kilometres of coastline, attracting some 10
6:41 am
million visitors in 2023. that is more than any other caribbean destination. i am more than any other caribbean destination. iam heading north more than any other caribbean destination. i am heading north to a seaside town that has become world famous. i am told a few decades ago, the small fishing village, it has completely transformed, and that is because this part of the coastline is in the right spot to capture the strong currents from the north in the winter and the constant trade winds from the east. this creates the perfect wave, and now, attract surfers from across the world. you can find every type of water sport here, from windsurfing to paddleboarding. and right now, cabarete is hosting its annual global event, master of the ocean, and i'm meeting the current champion, brian talma. brian! it's de action man. de action man! how you doing, man? yes, brother. respect, respect.
6:42 am
0h, dude, respect. so, you're going for back—to—back titles this year? well, i'm going to try, you know? this event is amazing because we do all the sports and all the sports i love — windsurf, kitesurf, foil and everything. originally from barbados, brian arrived here in the �*80s, becoming one of the pioneers of water sports. back then, there were literally only a handful of people taking part. this is essentially, like, your life. this is what you do every day. from when i was, like, eight, nine, that's all i did — surf in barbados. i surfed every day. and then it went from surfing to the other sports. but the thing about it, it's pretty easy and the sensation is amazing. and the good thing is i'm going to get you part of the action. pre—warning — i've never surfed in my life, so this is — this is going to be pretty bad, i'm just telling you now. you know what it's like? it's just like getting up, waking up, standing up.
6:43 am
look where you're going and go for it. all right, come on, then. let's go, action. now, what you're going to do is once you're up, you're going to bend the knees. make sense? yeah. it's always interesting when you try something new for the first time. definitely one of those moments when you are outside your comfort zone. it's a lot more tiring than i thought it was going to be. after the first, like, three, suddenly you get crashed into the water and then you're like... exhales sharply .."here we go again." and then, you get back up. brian's like, "come back, reece! come back!" and you're like... exhales sharply "hok!" i couldn't have asked for a better teacher. i am a surfer. i'm a surfer! you got up, you rode a few waves — success! action! brother, thank you, dude.
6:44 am
action! whilst adrenaline—fuelled water sports are a key part of the championships, there's a wider aim — to engage the local community. lively drumming caribbean culture, for those that live in the region, hasn't always been based around beach time — most leisure activities are targeted towards visitors. as tourists, we come over and we're like, "of course, we're going to try and surf. "of course we're going to swim." you know, that's different. that's not the case for a lot of the locals. ..para poder asistir a cualquier persona en la playa. but organisers want to change that by launching initiatives that teach dominicans water skills. i'm meeting the team coordinating the event, patricia hiraldo and marcus bohm. 0ur so, has the event br 0ur ought more of the community into water sports? definitely. i think the event really awakens the mind of the children and the youth
6:45 am
because, of course, they're looking to compete and they're looking to shine. we realised that eight out of ten children don't know how to swim and we're an island surrounded by water on three sides and it's an economy thriving on water sports. and we have a theory that if your parents don't know how to swim, there's not a culture of swimming. so, you cannot change the adults' mind but you can change the children's mind. they are training since a few years on swimming. really, what i want is for the community to get in touch with the ocean because that's the only way we're going to take care of the ocean. 0k, esta bien. beyond enjoying the water, patricia and marcus hope to empower the next generation to improve safety. what we want to do is create a situation and that we have a culture of lifeguarding, which we don't have, like in australia or florida or hawaii. we usually bring trainers from the usa or canada. so, we trained over 70 lifeguards and we trained over 20 lifeguard instructors but our dream is to create
6:46 am
a situation where we go island—wide. un aplauso! applause. applause. amazing day here at cabarete, and i have always been obsessed with the sea. but what's really great is that now, the locals are connecting with the oceans in ways that they haven't really done before. and considering that over half the population are under 30, i can only imagine the positive impact that it's going to have on future generations. next, i'm heading some 200km along the coast to samana peninsula, a thin strip of land poking out of the north—east of the island. and something else that stands out here is a distinctive wooden church and a
6:47 am
little—known history dating back two centuries. hey, how are you? wilfredo. wilfredo, how are you? reece. good to meet you. the pastor. hi, great to meet you! will kelly, pastorjerlin feliz diaz and the congregation at st peter's church are descendants of african—american former slaves. having won their freedom, they opted to emigrate here from the united states at a time when haiti briefly controlled the whole island of hispaniola. when the dominican republic regained the country, much of the african—american population remained. hi! norma. reece. good to meet you. this church has quite the cultural mix. yes, that's right. my family, they came from philadelphia — exactly — straight from philadelphia to samana 1824.
6:48 am
around 300 people made that first journey by sea from the north—eastern states, enticed by the offer of free land and a chance of a new life. haiti's mission was to consolidate their power by boosting its population. the haitian president talked with the united states president — "oh, i need some people, "like carpenter and bakery. "they build boat, fishing, agriculture." and my family, they felt happy when they tried to make deal with them. they say, "no, no, no — let me try, let me try. "let me go." because they don't felt so free. so, clearly, there wasn't enough opportunity in america for them to feel like they were really going to progress, so when they heard about this in philadelphia and the first few hundred came over, not knowing the island or knowing anyone here, ifound it so profound
6:49 am
that they were willing to take that huge life risk. despite living on a spanish—speaking island, this enclave fiercely clung onto their heritage, with some services held in english and the hymns they brought over centuries ago still ringing out. # give me that old—time religion. # it's good enough for me. # it was good for my dear mother. # it was good for my dear mother... i didn't expect to hear gospel in the dominican republic, and the lengths that they have clearly gone through to pass it down, generation by generation, the history that they have, they have so much pride in making sure that that part of their history and culture is still represented. and, i mean, whata way to represent it than a church that's 200 years old? but the community who built st peter's were relative newcomers compared to some other locals who've been coming here for some 50,000 years.
6:50 am
as you can see, there is the atlantic ocean, and these are some of the most important waters for sea mammals breeding in the whole world. the waters around samana bay are the most popular place for whale—watching in the caribbean. from january to march — whale season — tourists arrive in their droves. it's also where scientists can study the animals' behaviours. hey, hey! i'm meeting a team led by rita sellares and marvin del cid from the dominican foundation for marine studies. their work informs the country's marine policies. so, today, we are going to see the humpback whales and do some monitoring, so it's going to be an exciting day. every year, thousands of humpback whales swim epic distances on their annual migration. part of our role during
6:51 am
the season is come and collect some of the data of the behaviour and the number of whales and the tails of the whales. so, rainer is part of our team of technicians. it's his first time seeing the whales. ah, first time? we're together on this. afterfeeding in the north atlantic over summer, come winter, the humpbacks embark on a six—week commute south to the warmer waters of samana for breeding. so, i will try to fly the drone over the whales and try to take pictures and film some kind of behaviour, the behaviour of the whales. see what they're doing. the relationship of the mother with the calf or whatever. i thought whale—watching would be relaxing. esperate, capi! shouting. i wasn't expecting quite such a bumpy ride.
6:52 am
so, rita, you told me before i got on here to take a pill for seasickness, right? which i didn't. yes! am i an idiot? laughs. maybe. it's super relaxing and calm! you've just got to ride the wave. don't try and resist the wave. it's all about being — being calm and don't panic! the vast majority of north atlantic humpbacks are born in these waters and it doesn't take long for my first sighting. yeah, yeah! hey, hey! music swells. oh, yeah! laughs excitedly. i saw that! i saw it! rainer, mira la ballena! some measure up to 60ft long — almost the size of two school
6:53 am
buses — and can weigh a whopping 30 tonnes. we are seeing with the images of the drone that probably, that is a female because we have the males kind of fighting, hitting each other, and it's part of the reproductive behaviour. then, the female is going to choose one of the males and then, after the copulation here, she's going to travel back to the us or the north coast, will feed and then, coming back next year to have the baby here in the bay. so, that's why we say that the whales are dominican because they are born here. here. the females go through almost a year—long pregnancy before giving birth. ok, let's see. as for me, the choppy seas are starting to have an effect. oh, man! actually, i'm feeling pretty sick. but it seems rita has a plan b.
6:54 am
screams. laughter. laughs. are you feeling better? rita! what?! laughs. i'm so sorry! i'm feeling so much better now, rita! thank you! muchas gracias! 0h, 0k, right. yeah. i'm back. while the conditions here proved a little rough for me, the bay�*s deep waters are perfect for humpbacks. in 1986, strict guidelines were put in to protect the area, and samana became one of the first sanctuaries of its kind in the world. humpback whales command deep admiration here. but there's another animal found in these waters that's perhaps been less well loved or understood until recently — the manatee. these enigmatic creatures are typically around 10ft long
6:55 am
and weigh about a ton. studies into their behaviour forms the bigger part of rita and marvin's work. hola! and once i've got over my seasickness, i'm back to hear about their research. we started monitoring manatees in 2006 in bayahibe. we were really worried about the number of manatees left in the country because we started to see that we had a lot of strandings of animals — like, an average between six and ten per year — that animals that were dying in the beach. just like the whales, there used to be thousands of manatees around these shores but numbers are dangerously dwindling due to fishing, hunting and shipping accidents. we only have left around 100 of animals. 100?! yeah. marvin is going to fly the drone and try to find the manatees. so, once he sees the manatees, we are going to register
6:56 am
the time, the height and the data of identification of each manatee. so, rainer is a drone assistant. so, let's go, rainer. yes, let's go, rainer. uno... ah! barks. from above, the manatees are not as easy to spot as the whales were. he has a really good eye and he has a really good eye, too. youreyes? mine, they are ok. laughs. hay otro manati! hay otro al lado. we have two manatees. three, three, three! three? three manatees, yes. this is a baby manatee. this is important that we found babies because you know they are reproducing. and you can see now the calf and the mum. you can see that they can be apart from each other — not too much. but when it's a new baby, it stays all the time with the mum. and now, it can get a little bit far, yeah. oh, you can see his face!
6:57 am
yeah. here, there is a population of ten animals, more or less — 10—11 animals. i think it's an amazing animal. it's really calm, it's never aggressive, so, i really like them. so, we want to check the temperature and the water conditions, just to see that everything is ok for the animals. one area where the team have seen some real progress is with public perception. so, now, there is a huge awareness in the country, thanks to juanita. there is a huge story behind juanita. this is juanita. wow! uh—huh. and you can see the tag. juanita was a manatee rescued after an attack from a fisherman. her plight, along with two other rescues, pepe and lupita, really sparked the imagination of dominicans. she was rehabilitated at the national aquarium and then reintroduced into the wild in 2020. is this you?
6:58 am
yeah, that's me, that's me. and it's really nice, because — so, i saw her when she was born in bayahibe, so, for me, this was a happy moment to see her after eight years, free into the ocean and doing what she likes and seeing that she was really well adapted. it's inspiring to see how people like rita are gradually transforming public awareness here. the aim is that more dominicans will start to develop closer relationships with the sea and the unique marine life that surrounds them. so, i think that people's mind has changed a lot. people is more connected to the sea. it's not only manatees — so, it's the marine ecosystems and it's something that we need to save and protect.

and enjoying the fresh air you have to keep your eyes on the ground so you don't step on anything. pet owners at a popular beauty spot in lincolnshire had been told to clean up lincolnshire had been told to clean up their dog mess or risk losing access altogether. it's one of the country's best loved—beauty spots in the heart of lincolnshire. popular for walking and picnics. but there's one issue here at oslers' plantation, forestry england says the woodland's become a health hazard because so many irresponsible dog owners aren't cleaning up after their pets. they've temporarily closed the car park and have called in specialist cleaners. it's notjust an issue in the car park but when you enter the forest, you've got to be careful where you walk as there are quite a few piles of dog mess along here. and visitors seem to have got the message. it might be the summer holidays and one of the sunniest days of the year but it has been very quiet at the forest today. but i did spot one family. a place where people
7:51 am
bring their kids, their whole family it's not, people need to take care of their pets a lot better. it is notjust people leaving their dog mess, come have bagged it up butjust dump it. people at the spa town nearby have heard about the problem. it's worse when they put it in a plastic bag and just throw it, that makes it worse. it is not biodegradable. with kids running around on bikes you don't want to go through dog mess. if you have a dog, you must accept responsibility for clearing up. - i thought that was common sense. surely, this day and age people do that. j i would have though the majority do but clearly people don't. _ one of the problems is there are no bins in the woodland but forestry england says that is down to cost and them being a threat to wildlife. to put a bin in there would be hugely costly and resource—heavy. we could not empty it all the time and it would be overflowing and cause further complaints and health hazard. it's not our policy so if people
7:52 am
don't take their waste away with them we can't afford to keep carrying out these sort of cleansing operations. it's been a week since forestry england shut the car park to the woodland and they haven't said when it will be open but they have warned it could be permanent if the situation doesn't improve. quite the warning there. elsewhere millions of people in the uk are believed to be hoarders but a small fraction of those affected ever get help they need. in york a community group is helping people de— clutter and it has recently been awarded £400,000 to continue their vital work. our report has been finding out. alex is going to start putting newspapers in. are we all rightjust putting newspapers in? nothing in the newspapers? happy with that? yes. it should be his lounge but the rooms injohn wilson's house have become unrecognisable, submerged in clutter

and rubbish. if i see in my lovely mush, once a fortnight, we will keep on top of it. now, with help from michaela and alice at community bees, the house is slowly being cleared. the company works with the most isolated and loneliest of people, and that is people that are hoarders, mainly. i want to write a book. you want to write a book? she listened and she didn't try to control me. she let you talk and go through it and that has worked for me rather than people saying they'll clear you in a couple of days. hoarding is a complex condition. john buys newspapers he never reads and cuddly toys that stay in their boxes. it started after his mother died. due to a mix—up, john didn't get to the hospital in time. i lost a bit of focus in that because i thought, you know, my mother and father, we were a very close family, i was there for my dad dying and not for my mother. i should have been there
7:54 am
because i promised me dad i'd look after me mum. that was part of a thing of punishing yourself, you are never forgiving yourself. with us working on a one—to—one, very slowly, understanding and letting them talk if they want to talk, we don't ask questions. it is entirely up to them if they want to talk, and having a laugh with them as we go, it works. john is slowly changing his mindset and feels optimistic that he can get better with support. just put these in the drive? lottery money given to community bees will help them help others them trapped by possessions they no longer need or want. cathy killick, bbc news. let's talk to ian porter who is a psychologist from hoarders helping stop a network of supporters for those living with the condition. let's talk with how you define who is a hoarder. a lot of people might
