6:12 am
like ozempic, so many celebrities have now spoken of how they've used medication for weight loss. here ozempic is available on the nhs for people with type two diabetes as it helps to regulate their blood sugar levels, but its ability to suppress appetite has also led to its popularity. pharmacists say they're experiencing a shortage of the drug, fuelled by high demand. and that comes with huge risks. ozempic, which is a really important medicine for the treatment of type two diabetes, is out of stock and we think will be out of stock till the end of december this year. people who are desperate to continue that medication because it helps treat their diabetes, are looking to source medicines outside of the normal supply chain. this is causing people to look for medicines potentially online. and those medicines online are also at risk of being fake. and the problem with the fake medicine is that we've no idea what's in it. real ozempic is made by danish manufacturer novo nordisk, and the world health organization

attack in southport. the guardian carries the prime minister's warning that those involved in the disorder will regret their actions. writing in the times, home secretary yvette cooper says there will be a "reckoning for the individuals who took part in the violence", vowing to give police and law enforcement all the resources they need. the telegraph has a picture of team gb shooter amber rutter, with her son tommy, after she became the first british woman to win an olympic shooting medal. let's have a look inside. the story i like this morning, let's have a look inside. the story i like this morning, apparently let's have a look inside. the story i like this morning, apparently the sort of voice that would talk to you on a satnav in a car leeds —— means that some men make extra risks. if the voice is more attractive, they
6:20 am
say if it is higher pitched and a female voice, they are considered to be useful, good and fertile which encourages some men to make bigger gambles when they are out on the roads. that is why road safety campaigners think we should be very careful about who we choose to have the voice in the car. i careful about who we choose to have the voice in the car.— the voice in the car. i wonder if it affects women — the voice in the car. i wonder if it affects women in _ the voice in the car. i wonder if it affects women in the _ the voice in the car. i wonder if it affects women in the same i the voice in the car. i wonder if it affects women in the same way? j the voice in the car. i wonder if it i affects women in the same way? if a man was barking instructions at you, would that be good? i man was barking instructions at you, would that be good?— would that be good? i don't know, i think we are — would that be good? i don't know, i think we are going _ would that be good? i don't know, i think we are going down _ would that be good? i don't know, i think we are going down a - would that be good? i don't know, i l think we are going down a dangerous route and we should move on. i could see how we could because... you route and we should move on. i could see how we could because...- see how we could because... you can now aet see how we could because... you can now get celebrity _ see how we could because... you can now get celebrity voice _ see how we could because... you can now get celebrity voice packs, - see how we could because... you can now get celebrity voice packs, so i now get celebrity voice packs, so you can choose your celebrity favourite celebrity to guide you. shall we talk about wasps? have you noticed this? normally when you have got the hot weather you are sat outside and you will get bombarded with wasps. the weather this year because it has been wet, it has been a disaster for wasps. because it has been wet, it has been a disasterfor wasps. there are because it has been wet, it has been a disaster for wasps. there are far

fewer than in a normal year because it has been so wet and they have not been organising themselves in the way they normally would. scientists at the university of gloucestershire are organising a big wasp survey to monitor the insects with the public invited to take part. they are an important part of the ecosystem so it is quite serious, but it does make outdoor picnics slightly more pleasant. make outdoor picnics slightly more leasant. , ., ., , pleasant. they are not buzzing around the _ pleasant. they are not buzzing around the top _ pleasant. they are not buzzing around the top of _ pleasant. they are not buzzing around the top of your- pleasant. they are not buzzing around the top of your coach i pleasant. they are not buzzing i around the top of your coach can expect dolce and kebano, the big fashion brand... —— dolce and gabanna have released a scent for your dogs, 85 quid. the rspca says it is probably not very useful because the dog willjust dismiss it because the dog willjust dismiss it because their sense of smell is so good that they will not, they will smell through it, rather than being consumed by it. they are quite

6:23 am
on hart street, in the very heart of this community, has, for many, been the first opportunity to pause and to reflect. and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. just a mile away from the scene at holy trinity church, there were prayers for the three young girls, theirfamilies, friends and those whose job it is to care for them. the beginning of the answer to the question, how can we live in a town where a great evil was done, comes from knowing that it is a town where great heroism was shown too. a town where adults, among them the leader of the class, a supply teacher at our school, were injured trying to shield the children from their attacker. southport has always been a place where heroes live. at the bottom of the shield, you can see a ship.
6:24 am
that ship represents the southport lifeboat. at either end of the police cordon, and with every hour that passes, the gifts, messages and floral tributes continue to grow. and here, once more, people are doing what they can to help. katie runs dance classes at the hart centre where the attacks took place. along with her friend anna they're tending to the flowers. we're just trying to make it look a bit more presentable, really, and just take all the cellophane out just for the families and for everybody affected, just so that flowers will last a bit longer. we sort of feel compelled to come down here. i go past this spot every single day, and wejust want to keep it looking as nice as possible for everybody. you know, you feel like you need to do something, don't you? yeah. can't sit at home... sorry. i can'tjust sit at home. i've got to do something, and i've spent years in the hart space. i can't get the vision
6:25 am
of the studio and the landing and the stairs out of my head. but i feel better when i'm here than i do at home for some reason. you're trying to process it, aren't you? so, you know, it almost feels surreal. # won't you take me somewhere we can be alone? many in southport are turning to music, with its ability to provide comfort, a shared endeavour and to raise money to support families. dave medlock thought recording a song by, who else, taylor swift, might attract some interest. ijust put it on facebook. it wasn't attention grabbing or anything, i said i'm just putting together this charity single, i'm going to need a few people involved, if anyone can help that'll be fantastic. and before i know it, a choir turned up, you turned up, and i got over 150 responses. so the fact that we've come together like this just proves that southport really can stand together, and that together we are really strong. octave, a local community
6:26 am
choir, is taking part. # marry me, juliet, we'll never have to be alone. sarah mcentee, one of the organisers, has a young daughter who wanted to go to the dance group last monday. everyone here knows someone deeply affected. i think what we're going through is nothing in comparison to what our friends are going through that have lost children, or who still have children in hospital. part of you wants to think about them, part of you wants to think about your own family. i have a nine—year—old daughter. her best friend has lost her sister. how do you speak to your children about what's happened? do you speak to them about what's happened? and then, of course, there's all of these amazing things that are going on in the community with people pulling together to help, to use their skills and talent and to be able to try and make a bit of difference. buildings and bridges, hospitals and homes across the north west and farther afield have, over the past three nights, been lit in pink. a national show of solidarity. but the people of this town know that it's their own community that
6:27 am
will provide the most comfort. john maguire, bbc news, southport. we will talk much more about that and the _ we will talk much more about that and the implications _ we will talk much more about that and the implications of— we will talk much more about that and the implications of what - and the implications of what happened _ and the implications of what happened a _ and the implications of what happened a week— and the implications of what happened a week ago - and the implications of what happened a week ago today| and the implications of what _ happened a week ago today throughout the programme — happened a week ago today throughout the programme here _ happened a week ago today throughout the programme here and _ happened a week ago today throughout the programme here and breakfast- the programme here and breakfast this morning — motorists who may have been ripped off when taking out car finance loans will now have to wait until next year to find out if they are owed compensation. nina is looking at this for us. it's quite complicated just explain? who isn't in the market for a bit of cash back at the moment? lots of people, thousands of motorists thinking compensation on their way could have to wait a bit more but there is some good news as well. good morning. buying a car on finance has become increasingly popular. processes like personal contract
6:28 am
purchases mean you don't a set period to cover its depriciation. now the industry regulator, the financial conduct authority, is investigating something called, "discretionary commission arrangements." that's where lenders allowed dealers to inflate the rate of interest on the loan, in order to secure a commission. good for the dealer, but not for the customer who was often unaware it was happening. that's why this practice was banned in 2021. it's thought that around 40% of deals taken out between 2007 and 2021 could have been affected this way. so the fca is investigating to see whether compensation should be paid. we were expecting those results next month, but because of the scale of the issue they're now being pushed back to may next year. but, some good news! the fca says it believes compensation is now a more likely outcome than it was at the start of the investigation. if you did take out a car
6:29 am
finance deal before 2021 and think you could have been affected it's not too late. what you need to do is go to the website of the finance company that you took out a car finance loan from, they will have a dedicated web page, you will be able to enter your details, and they will be able to tell you. they're not going to be able to tell you on the spot but they will be able to come back to you and tell you whether or not your finance agreement is in the scope of this particular investigation. or you can ring the finance company and they'll be able to tell you. if you aren't brilliant at keeping paperwork don't worry! all you need is the name of the finance company, your name, address and the car's registration. ijust i just realised as ijust realised as i was covering this, this might affect me, i had a quick look online, very straightforward, five minutes and nothing to lose.— nothing to lose. that is good because most _ nothing to lose. that is good because most of— nothing to lose. that is good because most of us - nothing to lose. that is good because most of us are i nothing to lose. that is good because most of us are not i nothing to lose. that is good i because most of us are not regular paperwork. knowing it is that simple

6:32 am
for them are different. do you have a sense about what sparked this unrest in bolton? this a sense about what sparked this unrest in bolton?— a sense about what sparked this unrest in bolton? this is only an assumption- _ unrest in bolton? this is only an assumption. in _ unrest in bolton? this is only an assumption. in light _ unrest in bolton? this is only an assumption. in light of - unrest in bolton? this is only an assumption. in light of what i unrest in bolton? this is only an i assumption. in light of what people have seen the last number of days, a number of mosques targeted, asylum seeker hotels burning. arson with intent to endanger life is an indictable offence. there is serious violence. i am indictable offence. there is serious violence. iam not indictable offence. there is serious violence. i am not putting words... but some people, turning up. we have seen counter demonstrations across the country. but perhaps to tell these people that you cannot frighten us. i have to say, what we have seen is a lot of violence, and
6:33 am
thuggery and it cannot be considered protest, it seems like a group of people deliberately going to different parts of the country and deliberately causing this. this is not in isolation. sadly, over the years, not only social media companies have been responsible for sort of encouraging this course, especially twitter with elon musk almost putting incendiary comments on twitter but also a lot of the mainstream media. the daily mail and others. the constant headlines every day for 20 odd years. and political
6:34 am
commentators like nigel farage and richard tice and other people. not just the daily mail, you have the telegraph and the express newspaper. media demonising asylum seekers and in particular running a lot of untruth. untrue stories about these people in mainstream newspapers. and i think that has been incendiary. i think you need to grab all these things as well as what makes people do that. it is important we say this. these thugs are a tiny minority of people in the country. less than 0.000. the vast majority of people, more than 99.999%, are
6:35 am
people who are horrified by what they have seen. interestingly, communities have come together as a result of what has been happening on the streets. for example, southport, where this thing started from. the community got there and helped to rebuild the mosque wall. the tragedy is what happened in southport when three little angels died and so many children injured, the grief of the families, the community, seems to have been almost forgotten. people have been almost forgotten. people have used that. purely and simply used that for mindless violence. it is a bit like in the 80s when we had the football. not the same thing. there are very similar kind of thing when people went to a football match just to have a fight. a group of
6:36 am
fans going into have a fight. people who used to go to watch football. i think people are scared, obviously. and people are telling their families not to go out. it is really aood to families not to go out. it is really good to talk _ families not to go out. it is really good to talk to _ families not to go out. it is really good to talk to you. _ families not to go out. it is really good to talk to you. thank i families not to go out. it is really good to talk to you. thank you. i good to talk to you. thank you. there is a lot to fit in this morning but grateful for your time. a tight finish in the 100 metres and final last night. noah lyles taking it but it could not have been tighter. more medals for team gb yesterday. and in the shooting, devastated not to have got the gold. hit the target but it did not go down. just when you want a revision
6:37 am
review system like var. we will reflect on day nine. the fastest man in the world. is the american noah lyles, in what was an incredibly tight men's 100m final. with more medals for team gb on day nine, as hugh ferriss reports. it was a race so close, you might have been able to throw a blanket over it. the world's fastest man, but onlyjust. commentator: thompson gets a good start. - so does simbine. so does fred kerley, right up there. but thompson is strong in the middle of the race and lyles left but charging fast. lyles has been left a little bit. but he's charging fast. who's going to get it? it might be lyles! who has got this? five thousandths of a second separated noah lyles and the rest — onlyjust over a tenth covered all eight. never seen a finish as close. the american was the biggest name in the final, but didn't lead any
6:38 am
of his three races in paris untiltheir last frame, dipping to beatjamaica's kishane thompson by half a heads width. you couldn't have asked for a bigger moment, you know i have a biomechanist who comes down, and before i came out here, he said, "it's going to be this much, that's how much you got to win by because that's how close its going to be." and, gosh, was he right. lyles won both sprints at the world championships last year. he's halfway to achieving the same feat in paris. three months ago, amber rutter was in labour. now she's on an olympic podium. but her silver was so close to gold. in a shoot—out for the title, the clay splintered but didn't shatter, and there are no video reviews. disappointment tempered by a surprise spectator. baby tommy won't remember this, but his mum will. it is literally a dream. just the fact i'm able to be a mum and come away with a medal for my country. ijust...i'm honestly on top of the world right now. harry hepworth was the youngest in the vault final. the 20—year—old took bronze ahead of his team—mate jake jarman. commentator: oh, yes! that was magic.
6:39 am
while lottie fry has three of them now. on horse glamourdale, she added an individual medal to the team dressage bronzes she'd won already in paris and in tokyo. tommy fleetwood held his nerve to win silver in the gulf, to win silver in the golf, just one shot behind american world number one scottie scheffler. multi—millionaires they may well be, but gold still glitters just the same. and when you've won everything except an olympic title, this is what it means to complete the set. it's the ultimate goal. he is olympic champion. for novak djokovic, sealing a so—called golden slam is now the greatest of all his achievements. hugh ferriss, bbc news. last night we saw two more british hopefuls in action. josh kerr goes for gold in the final of the 1500m tomorrow night, after qualifying second in his semi
6:40 am
final — finishing behind his norwegian rivaljakob ingebrigtsen. fellow brit neil gourley also qualified for the final tomorrow night. one of the big british superstars in paris is keely hodgkinson. will it be a golden night for her later? the silver medallist from tokyo won her semifinal with ease yesterday to book her place in tonight's final. she's through with fastsest time — no wonder she's the favourite later. around 8.45pm for that. no problems for celtic on the opening weekend of the new scottish premiership season. they beat kilmarnock 4—0 at celtic park. anthony ralston with celtic�*s final goal in stoppage time — his first goal in two and a half years. celtic straight to the top of the table. elsewhere, dundee united drew 2—2 with rivals dundee whilst st mirren beat hibs 3—0. and there was a shock defeat for catalans dragons as their super league play—off hopes suffered a setback. beaten 12—10 by the league's bottom
6:41 am
team — the london broncos — who grabbed just their second win of the season. catalans had beaten the broncos 34—0 in their previous fixture, so quite the turnaround. day ten. novak djokovic, scottie scheffler, it shows what it means to win an olympic gold medal. it was one of the medal—winning heavyweights and historically sent some of the largest contingents to the olympics, but one country you won't find in this year's medal table is russia, after it was banned over the war with ukraine. the paris olympics aren't being televised in russia and state media has launched stinging criticism of the event. from moscow our russia editor steve rosenberg reports. it's not the same. and this certainly isn't paris. but there is an olympic champion on board. high jumper mariya lasitskene is here to launch a fusion fashion sports music event. she's not in paris
6:42 am
defending her olympic title. team russia is barred due to the war in ukraine. track and field stars from russia aren't even allowed in as neutral athletes. and that hurts. translation: we should be there. i can't even bring myself to follow the athletics at these games. it's too painful. the olympics are a festival, the greatest event in the world. not so, say the russian papers. they've dubbed the paris olympics the games of satan, the olympics of hell, and potentially the worst in history. it looks like russia wins the gold for sour grapes. i thought the olympic games are about sport, but now it's not no are about sport, but now it's no longer about sports. it's about politics, religion, everything. there is no longer sport. and it's very sad because the original idea of the olympic games was to create peace. russia has invaded ukraine. that's not peace, is it? russia has been
6:43 am
protecting their people. interest in the olympics was sky high in russia. moscow hosted the 1980 summer games here, and it used to send hundreds of athletes to olympic games. this time around, only 15 russians have been competing in paris as neutral athletes. they've had to undergo a vetting process to prove that they don't actively support russia's war in ukraine. no vetting here. in a moscow park, we found a russian nationalist group organising a sports festival to whip up interest in traditional russian recreations. it's a world away from paris 2024. some of this has nothing at all in common with sport. for the first time in 40 years, russian tv isn't showing the olympics. few tears here. "i haven't followed the olympics for ages," vadim says. "so what that we can't watch it?"
6:44 am
fighting talk, but having no team at the olympics is a sign of russia's isolation. no victory in that. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one,
6:45 am
hello, welcome. we can take you straight to carol. good morning. we have a right old variety of weather this week but to start, if you are stepping outside now, it is a mild start, in northern ireland, already at 19 degrees. edinburgh, start, in northern ireland, already at19 degrees. edinburgh, 18 start, in northern ireland, already at 19 degrees. edinburgh, 18 and reading in berkshire 13. what is happening is low pressure in the northern half of the country with a weather front introducing rain. further south, things more settled. in the west, cloud and drizzle. the weather front brings in in the west, cloud and drizzle. the weatherfront brings in rain in the west, cloud and drizzle. the weather front brings in rain that will be heavy at times and potentially thundery. through the day, it will move further south into northern england, where it could be heavy and thundery. on the northern side of that, it will brighten up.
6:46 am
on the southern side, still some sunny intervals. and here we look at highs up to 26. fresh are in the north—west where we are looking at “p north—west where we are looking at up to 17. overnight, we will have heavy, potentially thundery rain in northern england. a weatherfront moves into wales, south—west england. the rain move southwards and eastwards. ahead of it, clear skies and humid. ahead of its some clear skies but wherever you are it will be warm and humid. temperatures in stornoway eight, 16 in london. we pick up the weather front tomorrow. as it moves south—eastwards it will weaken and eventually clear. behind it a lot of dry weather, sunshine, but frequent showers across parts of western scotland, also northern ireland. it will also be blustery.
6:47 am
temperatures 16—24. as we move beyond that, low pressure pushes across and we have another front bringing rain. the rainfall totals in western scotland this week continuing to mount up. wednesday, windy, especially across scotland, northern ireland and northern england with exposure. there could be gusts up to 50 mph. further south, drier, sunny intervals and temperatures dipping. 15—23 north to south. continuing through the week, low pressure moves across us and then we have another coming in from then we have another coming in from the west. during thursday we start on a note the further east you are but as the weather fronts come in, they will bring heavy rain. it will
6:48 am
be windy, especially in western areas. again, with more rain on saturated ground there could be issues with flooding. temperatures five 15—23 north to south. late in the week, still unsettled. the further south you are, the drier it is likely to be. unsettled. i had got used to the warm weather. therein lies the problem. get used to it. it's been exactly a year since britain's are hoping to rebuild it are being urged to keep the faith. what was left of the crooked house pub in himley was demolished without permission after the fire was put out, but experts say it could be returned to its original wonky state. our midlands correspondent phil mackie reports.
6:49 am
this was the historic pub on the saturday night last august, soon after the blaze took hold. firefighters were hindered because someone had blocked the access road with a mound of earth. despite this, it wasn't completely destroyed and, the next day, its smouldering ruins were still standing and there was still hope it could be saved. then this happened. diggers were seen knocking down what had still been standing. the district council said the demolition had taken place without authorisation. over the next few weeks, thousands of people came to see the damage and, in some cases, take a few souvenirs. a campaign began to get it rebuilt and, if anything, people had become more determined. we want the crooked house rebuilt. it was an iconic part of our local heritage, one of the most famous and unique pubs in the country. but i think the whole community can't wait to see the crooked house rebuilt, operating and, really, acting as a magnet for local visitors again. a year on, it's a desolate picture.
6:50 am
the site is now completely closed off for safety reasons and you can't really see what we saw a year ago, which was the pile of rubble where the crooked house pub once stood. you really need to get up high and there you can see just the state of the site now and how much work would really need to be done to rebuild it. it's a far cry from its heyday. the clock is perfectly perpendicular. - it was such a well—known landmark for centuries because subsidence had left it leaning at a precarious angle. so could it even be possible to recreate such an unusual building — wonk and all? a specialist conservation architect says yes. it's about reinstating that historic character. the fabric of the building to replicate as closely as possible what existed previously. all the evidence would come together and we would model the crooked house as it was, 3d on screen, and all
6:51 am
the details would be drawn. so when the contractor starts on site, it's all very clear what they've got to achieve. police inquiries into whether the fire was started deliberately are still active. though six people were released from bail under investigation last week, and an appeal hearing next year will rule on whether the landowners will have to abide by an enforcement notice and rebuild the pub as it was pre—fire. this is where what remains of the pub are now being kept. and the hope is that if the ruling goes in their favour, the crooked house will rise from the ashes. we've got to take it one step at a time. we can'tjump ahead of the legal process, so we want people to be patient and recognise that, you know, we we can't make things happen any faster. and keep the faith. keep the faith because we're not going to give up. we don't want anybody to give up. we keep on fighting and fighting until we get what we want. a year ago today,
6:52 am
it was standing proud. nearly 40,000 people are members of the save the crooked house group. all of them hope that, one day, the wonkiest pub will stand again. phil mackie, bbc news, south staffordshire. incredible stuff. it's been a busy weekend for team gb who added 10 more medals to their tally at the olympics. among them was gymnast jake jarman who took home bronze in the men's floor final. our correspondent sophie long is in huntingdon at his gym with lots of youngsters hoping to follow in his footsteps. you are on the trampoline earlier. well done. you are on safer ground now. slightly, yes. iam now. slightly, yes. i am at huntingdon gymnastics club which has been a hive of activity with young bodies flying through the air. people here super pumped largely because of jake jarman. adam runs the place and is a

7:02 am
bolton. middlesbrough. and tamworth. in south yorkshire, antiracism protesters were making a stand outside a hotel where it's believed and asylum seekers are being housed. but they were soon outnumbered by anti—immigration protesters, angry at the idea of asylum seekers being housed in taxpayer funded hotel rooms. it then turned ugly. demonstrators shouted "yorkshire". they smashed windows. fires were lit. they attacked the police and managed to break into the holiday inn express before being beaten back. and last night there were attacks on a holiday inn in tamworth in staffordshire. they hurled bricks and petrol bombs at the police, one officer suffered a suspected broken arm. the crowd then tried to break into the hotel. in bolton the protests there had been described as a pro—british march online.
7:03 am
it started quietly, but soon escalated. around 300 men ran towards the town hall. we are not having it, bruv! they chanted "allahu akbar", god is great, towards the pro—british protesters who hurled back insults. they chanted "allahu akbar", god is great, towards the anti—immigration protesters who hurled back insults. there were running street battles with the police as they tried to separate different groups. tiles, stones, fireworks and smoke bombs were thrown. a cricket and baseball hat was confiscated. police were given extra powers to ask demonstrators to remove masks which hid their identity. riot police managed to keep the two groups apart, they brought in horses and dogs to reinforce their lines. in middlesbrough, too, a large crowd caused mayhem. police described the level of violence as staggering. arrests were made as they tried to restore order. the prime minister sir keir starmer condemned the weekend's events, calling it far right thuggery.
7:04 am
i guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly, or those whipping up this action online, and then running away themselves. much of the violence this weekend has been directed at those tasked to protect the public. police representatives will meet with the prime minister and senior ministers at a cobra meeting later today. the government has promised to use the full force of the law against the perpetrators of violence. aruna iyengar, bbc news. our correspondentjessica lane is in rotherham for us now. jessica, is in rotherham for us now. really disturbing pictur from jessica, really disturbing pictures from there yesterday. what is a situation like there this morning? that's right, sarah. it is a lot quieter here this morning than it was yesterday but everywhere you go around this hotel, there is absolute
7:05 am
destruction. windows had been broken, we are now around the back of the hotel bit windows around here have been broken, you can see that fences have been knocked over, people were ripping up the fence panels and using them as weapons against the police. but also against the hotel, trying to get in. some of the hotel, trying to get in. some of the protesters also set fire to a large wheelie bin which you can see there and tried to push it into the fire escape. the smell here is a mixture of burnt plastic but also the rubbish that was inside. you can see in the next window there, people from inside the hotel tried to set “p from inside the hotel tried to set up a barricade to stop those outside from getting in. we understand some people did get inside but nobody who was in the hotel was injured yesterday. ten police officers were injured, and one of those was knocked unconscious after having a head injury. south yorkshire police say that they are watching all of the footage and all of the pictures that were posted yesterday and they will be finding out who was here and what exactly they were doing.
7:06 am
jessica, in rotherham, thank you. there will be an emergency response meeting in downing street today after a weekend of violent disorder. our political correspondent nick eardley is in downing street for us now. morning, nick. do we know what the focus will be of that meeting? it will be a chance for senior ministers including the prime minister to talk more to police about some of the violence that they have had to deal with over the weekend, and what the next steps are. as you would expect, ben, the government has been working on this sort of thing over the weekend, but when you chat to people inside that building, they say that the cobra meeting at 10am is all about having more of a conversation with the police about what happens next. what support the authorities can be offered in the next few days and weeks. clearly a lot of concern that the violence we have seen over the past week also is not going to die down, it is going to continue. the message we are getting from the
7:07 am
government is that there will be a zero tolerance approach stop the home secretary yvette cooper, who will be on breakfast later, is talking in the papers about there being a reckoning for those who have been involved in the protests. we had the prime minister in an emergency address saying yesterday that the government will do whatever it takes to bring what he called these thugs to justice as quickly as possible. so this morning that cobra meeting is all about practicalities, and about next steps. there is also and about next steps. there is also a big question about government messaging, about trying to prevent people from taking part in these movements in the first place, and then also the question about how you try and stop this information and misinformation spreading online. that one in a particularly way because a lot of concern about police —— within police about how to stop it in the short—term.

7:13 am
treat their diabetes, are looking to source medicines outside of the normal supply chain. this is causing people to look for medicines potentially online. and those medicines online are also at risk of being fake. and the problem with the fake medicine is that we've no idea what's in it. real ozempic is made by danish manufacturer novo nordisk, and the world health organization has previously had to issue warnings about fake stocks. the national pharmacy association is urging people to speak to their pharmacist or gp and not buy from online sellers or beauty salons, which aren't regulated. frances read, bbc news. the un has urged the government in bangladesh to stop targeting protesters, after a day of unrest left more than 90 people dead. protests have been ongoing sincejuly, with students demanding prime minister sheikh hasina step aside. the death toll includes at least 13 police officers, and an indefinite nationwide curfew has been put in place

7:19 am
was released on thursday as part of the biggest ever east—west prisoner swap. after seeing his family for the first time in two—and—a—half years, he spoke to our correspondent sarah rainsford. vladimir kara—murza thought he'd never see his wife again. a week ago, the opposition activist was in a siberian prison cell, and he still can't quite believe he's free. he was only allowed one call to yevgenia in two years. i remember i asked at the end of that phone call do you think we'll ever be together again? and she said, "i don'tjust think, i'm certain." as always, she turned out to be right. he is one of eight russian dissidents released and now here in germany, the result of a complex prisoner exchange that surprised everyone, including the former political detainees. i was absolutely certain that
7:20 am
i would die in putin's prison. vladimir was serving 25 years just for speaking out against vladimir putin and the ukraine war. he told me he'd spent the past 11 months in solitary confinement. you lose sense of time, you lose sense of space. you lose sense ofjust everything, really. i mean, it's four walls and nothing else and all you do the whole day is nothing. speak to no one, go nowhere. and this is day after day after day after day. the day two guards burst into his tiny cell, he had no idea he was being freed. and they said you have five minutes — you know, dress yourself, take your stuff and get out. and i was absolutely certain i was going to be let out and be shot. instead, he was part of a swap that saw this fsb assassin released and welcomed home as a hero by vladimir putin.
7:21 am
to everybody who criticises — everybody who criticises this — i would respectfully urge them to not speak or think of prisoner exchanges, but to think of saving human lives, because this is exactly what it was. 16 human lives were saved. aren't 16 human lives worth releasing one murderer? once a strong, moral voice inside russia, vladimir kara—murza has now been forced into exile and his country is still waging the war on ukraine he wanted to stop. do you think you're an eternal optimist? do you think russia will be democratic and free? i know that russia will be democratic and free. and that's not because i'm an optimist, that's because i'm a historian. none of us knows the exact way change is going to come to russia, but i'm absolutely confident that it will. but for that to happen, putin must lose the war in ukraine.
7:22 am
it is a faith he holds to, even as many fear russia is lost to dictatorship, and dangerous. sarah rainsford, bbc news, frankfurt. 22 minutes past seven, you might notice we have been invaded by a few friends, there is a reason we have been invaded by these things! glittery rubber rings, an orange slice, or even an impressive looking crocodile like this one. for many of us inflatables are part of going on holiday. but what do you do with them when you get home? many people throw them away, but campaigners are urging us to think about the impact they can have on the environment. we can now speak to clare trotman from the marine conservation society. good morning, thank you for coming in and squeezing onto the safer in amongst all this! it is fun but there is a serious aspect of this.

7:27 am
been finding out how. 58—year—old ian pickford is trying to be more active, quit smoking and has started taking statins. it's after he took part in a trial using artificial intelligence to analyse cardiac ct scans. tests highlighted he was at risk of having a heart attack. it's a huge wake—up call. and when you see it on paper, you realise how serious it is. it's something you can look at each day and think i've got to do something about this. i'm just going to do a blood pressure on you, john, just to see what your heart rate's doing. around 350,000 people are referred for a ct scan of their heart each year in the uk. about 20% are sent for further tests for narrow or blocked arteries, while the remaining 80% are discharged. but researchers at the university of oxford have found a! can accurately identify patients with inflammation around their heart, which is invisible on ct scans. this artificial intelligence model
7:28 am
brings to the surface this hidden information and identifies the patients who are going to develop a heart attack over the next ten years. and it gives an alarm bell as to this patient needs to be aggressively medicated, or needs to lose weight, or needs to go through significant lifestyle changes because they are at a very high risk to develop a heart attack. cardiovascular disease remains one of the biggest killers in the uk and a major health burden globally. professor keith channon says the technology is a game changer for identifying those at risk and getting them the best treatment as early as possible. it opens up a whole new understanding of coronary artery disease risk — something that's been previously invisible that couldn't be done by humans and that wasn't visible to the human eye. so this is a very exciting aspect of ai and a new scientific discovery that's been translated

into patient benefit. it changes the way we understand disease, it changes the way we identify people at most risk and it changes the way that we can use our treatments most effectively. the company behind the technology verifies the ai results to make sure they're clinically accurate. they hope to have nice approval by the end of the year and they're already looking to use a similar approach to prevent other major health conditions. we're also looking at adjacent technology — a stroke, which will cause long—term notjust morbidity, but also large economic burden, both in the united kingdom as well as around the world, as well. furthermore, we're also using this technology principle to apply to the prediction of diabetes onset, as well. more than 40,000 patients have been part of the pilot project running at five hospital trusts in england, but if approved for use on the nhs, thousands more could benefit from this revolutionary new advance
7:30 am
in cardiac care. katharine da costa, bbc news, in oxford. back to our top story now. a cobra meeting has been called after more than 150 people were arrested following violent disorder in uk towns and cities over the weekend. 300 police officers were deployed after rival groups clashed over immigration in bristol, which saw 16 people arrested and the force promising more arrests, as scott ellis reports. britain's summer of discontent arrives in bristol as pro and anti—immigration groups clash, first in the city centre at castle park and nearby bristol bridge, then at a hotel on redcliff hill used to house immigrants, where counter—protesters linked arms to stop anyone getting in. we got here just before the far
7:31 am
right did, before the police did, and if we weren't here, they would have stormed the hotel. they tried to barricade and force their way through us. the police got here like two minutes later. and if we weren't here, i'm worried that they would have stormed into the hotel. earlier, the two groups were kept apart in castle park by the police — officers drawn from forces across the west and using enhanced powers to stop and search and order protesters to remove masks. we spoke to some of the protesters. came here — purely it was advertised as a stop the boats. and this was going to happen at some point. and i'm not condoning it in any way, certainly not the way that it's happening, but we've had enough. everything we say is racist prejudice. i'm not here to hurt them. i'm not here to... i'm down here to show my respect for those three little girls. we spoke also to some of those in the counter—protest group. we're here to show, to demonstrate
7:32 am
against a racist march, islamophobe. i think it is a tiny minority who should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. i think it's really good i for bristol that there's such a large counter—protest. the protests closed roads and stopped buses on an otherwise busy saturday night in bristol. this couple unable to party as planned. we're trying to get to a wedding. yeah. it's only 200m up there. we're told we've got to go three or four miles walkaround. the police justified their use of dogs and horses to disperse protesters. and my hope is that we don't see a repeat of this level of force. i don't want to see items being thrown at police officers or anyone else that are here. just trying to do ourjob and keep people safe. police made arrests and say more will follow. scott ellis, bbc news. that is the situation in bristol and
7:33 am
clearly other protests, riots across england and belfast at the weekend. we can now speak to the home secretary, yvette cooper. really disturbing scenes. there will be communities and individuals feeling unsafe at the moment. how do you reassure them and restore calm? we saw disgraceful scenes of criminal violence and thuggery in towns and cities. there is no excuse for that behaviour. throwing bricks at police officers, the targeting of mosques, looting shops. disgraceful criminal behaviour and those criminals will pay the price. there have been hundreds of arrests and we have been hundreds of arrests and we have made clear to the police they have made clear to the police they have our support in pursuing all of those involved with the full range of prosecutions and penalties,
7:34 am
including prison sentences, including prison sentences, including longer term tagging, travel bans. and that should be for the full range of those involved in disorder, including some of the worst violence right through to the peripheral looting that took place. we cannot stand for this violence on our streets. we cannot stand for this violence on our streets-— our streets. there will be a cobra meetin: our streets. there will be a cobra meeting today- — our streets. there will be a cobra meeting today. give _ our streets. there will be a cobra meeting today. give a _ our streets. there will be a cobra meeting today. give a sense i our streets. there will be a cobra meeting today. give a sense of i our streets. there will be a cobra i meeting today. give a sense of the challenges the authorities are facing. these are disparate groups coming together, perhaps being linked up online. haifa coming together, perhaps being linked up online.— coming together, perhaps being linked up online. how do you tackle that? the first — linked up online. how do you tackle that? the first issue _ linked up online. how do you tackle that? the first issue is _ linked up online. how do you tackle that? the first issue is making i linked up online. how do you tackle that? the first issue is making sure| that? the first issue is making sure those who have committed the crimes pay the price. that is why we have been clear and made sure there are additional prosecutors available, courts are on standby and prison places available. an issue we will talk about is making sure the full criminaljustice talk about is making sure the full criminal justice system talk about is making sure the full criminaljustice system responses there and ready so they pay the price. also obviously issues around
7:35 am
social media. this is a rocket booster behind the spread of misinformation and organisation of this violence. social media companies need to take responsibility and we need to make sure criminal activity online is being pursued. ithink sure criminal activity online is being pursued. i think it important none of us forgets this minority of thugs do not speak for britain and the towns and cities they caused havoc in. the people who speak for those towns and cities are those who came out in the morning to clean up communities and to try to repair damage a minority had done and it is important. it is those communities we hear from and support. let’s important. it is those communities we hear from and support. let's talk about the practicalities _ we hear from and support. let's talk about the practicalities of _ we hear from and support. let's talk about the practicalities of what i we hear from and support. let's talk about the practicalities of what you i about the practicalities of what you are talking about. first, the police response. brian booth has talked about the fact that some areas may see a diminished police presence
7:36 am
because they cannot be in two places at once. are there enough to deal with this and day—to—day policing issues? with this and day-to-day policing issues? ., ., , , , issues? there are two issues. the immediate — issues? there are two issues. the immediate deployment _ issues? there are two issues. the immediate deployment issues i issues? there are two issues. the| immediate deployment issues and issues? there are two issues. the i immediate deployment issues and the long—term future of policing. we have been clear on the long—term issues we want to increase policing on the streets including particularly increasing neighbourhood policing as that has been diminished too far. in terms of what happens here, the police have additional public order trained officers that were not deployed at the weekend so they have additional police they can draw upon. these are operational decisions for the police as to where those officers should be deployed. i have been clear to the police we will support them. i have asked them whether they need additional public order police, whether they need additional powers. we will continue to provide them
7:37 am
with that support. that will be ongoing because it is important they have the police in place to be able to respond and to pursue the criminal penalties. fin to respond and to pursue the criminal penalties.— to respond and to pursue the criminal penalties. on that, the prime minister _ criminal penalties. on that, the prime minister talked _ criminal penalties. on that, the| prime minister talked yesterday about the response in 201! and the fast tracking of court cases and charges. we know there was already a huge court backlog. a quarter of cases have been waiting at least a year to reach a verdict. we know the prison population is almost at full capacity. is there slack in the system to deal with potentially hundreds, maybe thousands of people having to be charged and potentially imprisoned? you having to be charged and potentially imrisoned? ., ., ., ,, ., imprisoned? you are right talk about the damaue imprisoned? you are right talk about the damage that _ imprisoned? you are right talk about the damage that has _ imprisoned? you are right talk about the damage that has been _ imprisoned? you are right talk about the damage that has been done i imprisoned? you are right talk about the damage that has been done to i imprisoned? you are right talk about. the damage that has been done to the criminaljustice the damage that has been done to the criminal justice system the damage that has been done to the criminaljustice system and some of that will take time to turn around. and it does create serious issues across the criminaljustice system
7:38 am
in the way it has responded in recent years to all kinds of things. we have been clear that the priority now is to make sure those individuals who have been involved individuals who have been involved in this criminal disorder face swift justice. that is why we have worked across the criminaljustice system with the director of public prosecutions, with the courts, to make sure there is capacity in place, to make sure they have additional prosecutors in place and they have courts ready and on standby so the system does remain ready to respond swiftly. people should not have to stand for this in their communities and towns and cities. nobody should have to put up with this. the other thing that makes this so appalling, this is a week on from the horrific attack in southport where little girls were killed. we should be talking today
7:39 am
about those little girls and their families and about the children injured and the adults recovering to make sure we are supporting them and their communities and, instead, the focus has been around this criminal thuggery which has nothing to do with supporting families in southport and does the total opposite. that is why it is important we have a strong response to the violence and thuggery. it does not represent britain. as the new home secretary, looking at what has happened over the past days, there are people who have taken part in peaceful protest but there are people still concerned about issues, there seems to be communities setting against each other and using the events of last monday as a catalyst. it has set something in motion. are you concerned longer term about the fact that in parts of britain, there are communities who are set against each other and how
7:40 am
do you go about tackling that? we want to do you go about tackling that? , want to see communities brought together. we want to see the debates, the issues people have different views on can be debated. there are policy changes the new government will bring in in a series of areas. we havejust government will bring in in a series of areas. we have just followed an election where people voted for change because they want change on a range of issues. those will be the things we will continue to talk about. i think that cannot ever be an excuse for the sorts of rioting and violent behaviour we have seen. a lot of people have concerns and views about crime, the nhs, immigration, but they do not pick up bricks and throw them at the police. they do not try to set light to a hotel where people are known to be inside. they do not loot shops as a
7:41 am
result. we have to be clear about not excusing the violence. we have a right to peaceful protest and i support peaceful protesters who want to raise their views and debate their views which is an important part of britain. but that is a world away from the violence and thuggery we saw in some towns and cities over the weekend. we saw in some towns and cities over the weekend-— the weekend. home secretary, thank ou. john hasjoined us. there was controversy yesterday. four medals won by team gb but amber rutter in the shooting, should the medal had been a gold medal. she was in a shoot off in the skeet final. judges ruled she missed a shot. replays showed she hit the target. but replays unavailable
7:42 am
to the judges. despite her demonstrations, she silver. here's what she made of it all. we need to bring it into those competitions so we get a level playing field. some of the other girls were doing this with shot so it is important to dive back into that and technology. flat it is important to dive back into that and technology.— it is important to dive back into that and technology. not often we call for the — that and technology. not often we call for the ar _ that and technology. not often we call for the ar but _ that and technology. not often we call for the ar but when _ that and technology. not often we call for the ar but when a - that and technology. not often we call for the ar but when a gold i call for the ar but when a gold medal is at stake much needed for amber rutter. and it was the story of the day as a handful of athletes fell just short in the pursuit of gold..(tx most notably tommy fleetwood. the british golfer had a share of the lead — but bogeyed the penultimate hole to fall a shot behind world number one scottie scheffler and couldn't birdie the 18th and had to settle for silver, while the american added olympic gold to the masters title he won earlier this year. there was history in the gymnastics as harry hepworth became the first british man to win an olympic vault medal.
7:43 am
he took bronze, finishing just ahead of his british teammate jake jarman, who came fourth. we will speak to both of them at 8.50. bronze in the equestrian — as lottie fry continued team gb's medal success in the sport. she came third in the individual dressage event — winning her third medal of the games and gb's fifth medal in equestrian. tonight, we will see one of the big british superstars in paris keely hodgkinson going for gold. and the silver medallist from tokyo will start as favourite having won her semi final with ease yesterday to book her place in tonight's final. she was through with the fastsest time and goes for gold at around 8.45pm tonight. can't take any chances. it will be a factor tomorrow. ijust wanted to be safely qualified. job done.
7:44 am
yeah, we're in the final now. mission is on. josh kerr goes for gold in the final of the 1500m tomorrow night, after qualifying second in his semifinal — finishing behind his norwegian rivaljakob ingebrigtsen. fellow brit neil gourley also qualified for the final tomorrow night. next to the biggest, most watched race in the olympics — the men's100 metre final living up to it's billing. the title of the fastest man on the planet went to america's noah lyles. in the tightest of finishes, lyles won by five thousandths of a second — ahead ofjamaica's kishane thompson. fellow american fred kerley won bronze. you couldn't have asked for a bigger moment. you know, i have a biomechanist who comes down and before i came out here, he said, "it's going to be this much, that's how much you got to win by because that's how close it's going to be." and, gosh, was he right. and it was an historic day
7:45 am
for novak djokovic as he completed the so—called golden slam. three weeks ago, djokovic was convincingly beaten by carlos alcaraz in the wimbledon final. but today the serbian got his revenge — winning in straight sets and finally securing the only major title that has eluded him in his incredible career. hejoins a select he joins a select list of players to have won four grand slams and the olympic gold. have won four grand slams and the olympic gold-— olympic gold. steffi graf, andre auassi, olympic gold. steffi graf, andre agassi, serena _ olympic gold. steffi graf, andre agassi, serena williams, - olympic gold. steffi graf, andre agassi, serena williams, rafa i olympic gold. steffi graf, andre i agassi, serena williams, rafa nadal agassi, serena williams, rafa medal and now novak djokovic. you could really see how much it meant to him. the tears were flowing. very impressive. we will be talking to some gold medallists in about five minutes. it was one of the worst mining disasters in wales. 266 people lost their lives in gresford pit and only i! bodies
7:46 am
we re ever recovered . 90 years on, the community is keeping their memory alive through the power of opera. our reporter matthew richards went to listen to them in rehearsal. we want you to embody the music. so head up and out of the skull. robert guy is putting his choir through their paces. a co—founder of new symphonia with his brotherjonathan, which promotes orchestral work within the community, he's especially excited to be working on a project based in his own back yard. i'm lucky enough to work around the world, now, as a conductor, but it's really special to do it at home because we really care about it. and you get that goosey feeling when you're doing something that you have made happen in your home patch and you can hopefully see that it's bringing people into music that wouldn't otherwise engage with it. as they learn this brand new opera in gresford church, the choir is surrounded by reminders of the tragedy which rocked this community. from a list of those who died, to paintings showing life in the pit
7:47 am
until one fateful morning in september 1934. newsreel: at the pit head, crowds awaiting haggard and strained for news of a husband, father, son. an explosion and fire left hundreds trapped underground. 266 men and boys perished. now their story is being told in a brand new opera. the first half of the opera tells the story, but then also the second half, we focus in on a few characters and sort of like their reactions to what happened, their sense of injustice, but also since then, the sense of resilience and overcoming that injustice and resurgence within wrexham as a community. as well as professional singers and musicians, young performers from schools will take part in the premiere as part of the north wales international music festival. it's important to us that young children who perhaps don't know anything about gresford are in this and actually living what it's about, because something like that resonates throughout the history of north wales — well, the history of wales and is incredibly important. albert rowlands was a is—year—old lamp boy at the pit when the explosion happened. his father was killed.
7:48 am
albert himself died in 2020, the last survivor of the disaster. but his memories live on with those who cared for him. he was with us until he was 100 years old, and he was just the most amazing chap. and he had these memories, they were obviously very painful memories for him, very sad memories. but, you know, he came through that and obviously then there was the war and he would always have stories. he really was one of those wonderful lives, richly lived, really. the tragedy may have temporarily silenced wrexham 90 years ago, but the opera will ring throughout the city in performances marking the anniversary. time to catch up with carol and the weather and may some rain on the way, although it looks lovely behind you at the moment. certainly is rain on the way and some of us have it already. this is

8:01 am
after more medals for team gb at the weekend, we are live at jake jarman's gymnasium speaking to future olympic hopeful. this week, low pressure dominates the weather in the northern half of the weather in the northern half of the country so it will be wet and windy at times for you where high pressure clings on in the south so here it will be drier and warmer. all of the details shortly. it's monday 5th august. a cobra meeting has been called after more than 150 people were arrested following violent disorder in uk towns and cities over the weekend. sir keir starmer has condemned what he described as "far—right thuggery" following the fatal stabbing of three young girls in southport last monday. on saturday there was unrest in stoke, manchester, bristol, nottingham, hull, leeds, belfast and liverpool. with more yesterday in rotherham, tamworth, bolton, weymouth, and middlesbrough. we're dedicating the next half hour
8:02 am
of breakfast to discussing this in more detail. we'll start with this report from our correspondent aruna iyengar. anger and lawlessness across the country. this is rotherham. bolton. middlesbrough. and tamworth. in south yorkshire, antiracism protesters were making a stand outside a hotel where it's believed asylum seekers are being housed. but they were soon outnumbered by anti—immigration protesters, angry at the idea of asylum seekers being housed in taxpayer funded hotel rooms. it then turned ugly. demonstrators shouted "yorkshire". they smashed windows. fires were lit. they attacked the police and managed to break into the holiday inn express before being beaten back. and last night there were attacks on a holiday inn
8:03 am
in tamworth in staffordshire. they hurled bricks and petrol bombs at the police, one officer suffered a suspected broken arm. the crowd then tried to break into the hotel. in bolton the protests there had been described as a pro—british march online. it started quietly, but soon escalated. around 300 men ran towards the town hall. we are not having it, bruv! they chanted "allahu akbar", god is great, towards the anti—immigration protesters who hurled back insults. there were running street battles with the police as they tried to separate different groups. tiles, stones, fireworks and smoke bombs were thrown. a cricket and baseball bat was confiscated. police were given extra powers to ask demonstrators to remove masks which hid their identity. riot police managed to keep the two groups apart, they brought in horses and dogs
8:04 am
to reinforce their lines. in middlesbrough, too, a large crowd caused mayhem. police described the level of violence as staggering. arrests were made as they tried to restore order. the prime minister sir keir starmer condemned the weekend's events, calling it far right thuggery. i guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly, or those whipping up this action online, and then running away themselves. much of the violence this weekend has been directed at those tasked to protect the public. police representatives will meet with the prime minister and senior ministers at a cobra meeting later today. the government has promised to use the full force of the law against the perpetrators of violence. aruna iyengar, bbc news. our correspondentjessica lane is in rotherham for us now. morning,

8:06 am
at one point people did get inside but no one who was in there was injured. ten police officers were assaulted and were was left unconscious. we spoke to the local mp this morning, john healy, who has been down and met with residents here, people at the hotel and with police, and he told us all of the asylum seekers who were here and hotel staff were moved out safely yesterday and paid tribute to the police and said his government will be making sure that they find the people who were involved and make sure that they do pay the price of the environment and the violence here. ., ~ the environment and the violence here. . ,, i. ., the environment and the violence here. . ,, ., ., the environment and the violence here. . ., ., g ,, protesters in tamworth targeted a hotel which has been used to house asylum seekers. a hostile crowd threw petrol bombs, projectiles and fireworks, with staffordshire police describing the overnight violence as "despicable thuggery". we can speak to our reporter sophie calvert who is in tamworth.

8:09 am
todayis would be very certain of happening today is more strong language from senior politicians in the government condemning the behaviour we saw over the weekend. we had the home secretary yvette cooper on breakfast saying there would be a reckoning for those involved, criminals would face justice. for those involved, criminals would facejustice. we had a similar message from the prime minister keir starmer when he spoke at downing street last night. i starmer when he spoke at downing street last night.— street last night. i have 'ust held a meetin: street last night. i have 'ust held a meeting with h street last night. i have 'ust held a meeting with senior_ street last night. i have just held a meeting with senior police - street last night. i have just held a meeting with senior police and| street last night. i have just held . a meeting with senior police and law enforcement leaders, where we resolved — enforcement leaders, where we resolved to show who we are. a country — resolved to show who we are. a country that will not allow understandable fear to curdle into division _ understandable fear to curdle into division and hate in our communities. and will not permit under— communities. and will not permit under any— communities. and will not permit under any circumstances a breakdown in taw— under any circumstances a breakdown in law and _ under any circumstances a breakdown in law and order on our streets. because — in law and order on our streets. because let's be very clear about this _ because let's be very clear about this it's — because let's be very clear about this. it's not protest, it's not legitimate, it's crime, violent

8:11 am
talking for an honest debate about vital issues, giving people confidence there are political solutions and saying a recall of parliament would be an appropriate start. there have been some labour and conservative mps saying that parliament is should be brought back. i don't think that will happen, the view in government is it is not necessary at this stage. it's not out of the question because there is clearly some concern in here among police about what is going to happen over the next few days, and there will be a lot of politicians watching that very closely indeed.— politicians watching that very closel indeed. . ,, , ., politicians watching that very closel indeed. . ,, ., closely indeed. thank you, nick, for now. it's been a week today since three young girls were killed in a knife attack in southport. our correspondent lauren moss is there for us now. lots of tributes and over the weekend, the community very much coming together to try and come to
8:12 am
terms with what happened last week. that's right, sarah. it is one week since the deaths of three little girls set in motion a chain of events around the country but here in southport, the thoughts of people here are very much with bebe king, elsie dot stancombe and alice dasilva aguiar and their families. more tributes have been laid here, flowers, balloons, teddy bears, friendship and bracelets and candles burning through the night. chalk messages have been written on the pavement. i have spoken to some people starting their week here, stopping by on their way to work to observe the flowers and the tributes silently and pay their respects. somebody else stopped to drop off three single carnations. the atkinson gallery behind me was lit up atkinson gallery behind me was lit up bright pink this morning as i write this morning before the sun
8:13 am
came up and other countries —— buildings across the country did the same in tribute including number 10 downing st. five people are due at liverpool magistrates this morning charged with violent disorder that we saw in weekend over the —— liverpool over the weekend. faith leaders released a joint statement yesterday saying, many have sought to use last week's tragedy to sow division and hate. the local reverend marie kent said, there are a lot of mixed emotions in southport like anxiety and grief, but the single acts of kindness among the community show they are taking a stand against hate and violence. that is what i have seen in the past week, people in the area supporting and taking care of each other as they continue to be united in grief. lauren, thank you. the clean up operation is under way in hull, after violent disorder at the weekend saw shops damaged, bottles and bricks thrown, and fireworks set off.
8:14 am
a group of community volunteers have started to tackle the damage and restore their city, as jake zukeman reports. it was an evening of violence, disorder, criminal damage and looting on a scale not seen in hull in recent times. shops and cars were set ablaze. a hotel housing migrants and a local mosque were targeted. it's mindless. i can't get my head around it. i don't understand the thinking behind it. why would you go destroy places, set places on fire? we're not afraid because we know that it's not everyone. it's a few people that have created this issue. ijust wanted to come and stand with the people of springbank. and just let them know that they matter, and. that people do care. i think there's a better way of communicating your anger, channelling it for force for good. you're under a suspicion of section four public order. police say that 25 people have been arrested as a result of the disturbances in the city, and that 11 officers were injured. we need to remember this is a small
8:15 am
minority of criminals. they will face the full force of the law. they will be brought to justice. they don't represent us. the majority of people are good and decent. as businesses count the cost of the damage, the council and local mps are now working to restore a sense of calm and normality to the city after a day of trouble. that was jake zukeman reporting. we'rejoined now by humberside police and crime commissioner, jonathan evison. morning, jonathan, thank you for being with us. we are seeing images like that, astonishing images from towns and cities across mainly england, we should be clear. what you make about what happened over the weekend? it’s you make about what happened over the weekend?— the weekend? it's very distressing and we mustn't _ the weekend? it's very distressing and we mustn't forget _ the weekend? it's very distressing and we mustn't forget the - the weekend? it's very distressing and we mustn't forget the impact | the weekend? it's very distressing i and we mustn't forget the impact of this is having on the families of the three young children that were murdered. but what we are seeing is, we are seeing violent behaviour,
8:16 am
thuggery, opportunism on the back of what is loosely being called a protest, it wasn't a protest. it was an attack on the centre of the city of hull by people who are interested in politics, they are interested in hooliganism, that's what they are interested in. i have got to say i thought the police handled it quite well. certainly in the early stages. things were going well and the response from the public has been tremendous. the assistant chief can't, jon mclaughlan, he wrote a press release which —— the assistant chief constable wrote a press release and a lot of people liked it and said that they have done a good job and there were very few negative comments. you job and there were very few negative comments. ., . , , , . ,, ., comments. you have been speaking to olice comments. you have been speaking to police officers — comments. you have been speaking to police officers who _ comments. you have been speaking to police officers who have _ comments. you have been speaking to police officers who have been - police officers who have been involved, what are the particular
8:17 am
challenges were something like this, which has happened so quickly across the country? nobody really knows which towns and cities there are going to be issues, what challenges does that put forward for the police, and let us not forget social media? , ., , , police, and let us not forget social media? , ., , . . media? this has been social media enabled, media? this has been social media enabled. a — media? this has been social media enabled. a lot _ media? this has been social media enabled, a lot of _ media? this has been social media enabled, a lot of it _ media? this has been social media enabled, a lot of it has _ media? this has been social media enabled, a lot of it has been - enabled, a lot of it has been enabled, a lot of it has been enabled through social media, encouraging people to come to the city of hull. the other thing we mustn't forget is, we have had a big uplift of police officers, a lot of the police officers in humberside police have less than five years experience, and none of them have experienced anything like this in the past, it hasn't happened for ten years, it was 2011 last time something like this happen. so i have enormous respect for how these young people actually, as trained officers, behaved and operated in that difficult environment. and the public has recognised that. and the other thing which is really heart—warming is, iwas other thing which is really heart—warming is, i was down in the city, i met with the chief executive
8:18 am
of hull city council, i was down in the city at 7am yesterday, just seeing what had happened. and the council had done a fantasticjob, there was a clean—up under way and at 10am, literally dozens of local people volunteered to come and clear some of the things and they are angry, really annoyed that this could have happened.- angry, really annoyed that this could have happened. there are clearly different _ could have happened. there are clearly different motivations - could have happened. there are i clearly different motivations about what has happened and who is perpetrating these crimes and these towns and cities. the chair of the police and crime commissioners donna jones suggested those involved in protests are doing so to to protect british sovereignty, the need to uphold british values and in order to protest immigration, those comments have been removed from a website now. does that speak to a more fundamental issue in some towns and cities in the country that people feel disconnected from opportunity and growth to use the politician's phrase, levelling up, and those are issues that also needs
8:19 am
to be addressed, quite aside from what we are seeing here in thuggery and hooliganism?— and hooliganism? there are underlying _ and hooliganism? there are underlying issues, - and hooliganism? there are underlying issues, lots - and hooliganism? there are underlying issues, lots of i and hooliganism? there are - underlying issues, lots of people feel left behind. police and crime commissioner's role is quite diverse, yes, we scrutinise the police but i also run projects, in my last term i had over 200 projects. 65 were youth oriented, sorry, 45 were cctv, and accommodation of lots of other projects to give people an opportunity. but to be under no illusion, this was thuggery, hooliganism, now that if you are as old as i am but very akin to some of the stuff we saw in football hooliganism, and we have got the same types of people doing that sort of thing. and we need to do some of the stuff that we did in those days. is there a danger therefore that some of this overshadows what are real concerns for people, that this
8:20 am
takes all of the headlines, the attention of the police resulting, and may be more fundamental concerns that people have are relatively ignored right now?— that people have are relatively ignored right now? well, yes, but there is an _ ignored right now? well, yes, but there is an awful— ignored right now? well, yes, but there is an awful lot _ ignored right now? well, yes, but there is an awful lot going - ignored right now? well, yes, but there is an awful lot going on, - ignored right now? well, yes, but| there is an awful lot going on, and it's notjust me that does this sort of thing, you have got hull city council, the community centre, the police do a lot of it, but i think one thing as far as younger people are concerned, sometimes they are in are concerned, sometimes they are in a situation where there is absolutely no hope. and actually hope spares you want to do something, and that some of the things that —— hope spurs you on. so we could do with more youth clubs, good quality sensible adults they can experience things from. thank ou for can experience things from. thank you for coming _ can experience things from. thank you for coming in. _ can experience things from. thank you for coming in. that _ can experience things from. thank you for coming in. that is - can experience things from. thank you for coming in. that is a - you for coming in. that is a situation in hull. we've heard about the unrest in rotherham this weekend where windows of a hotel were smashed, and fires started.
8:21 am
we can now speak to oliver coppard, mayor of south yorkshire. good to have you with us, thank you for being on the programme this morning. what is it that you saw where you were? we discussed some of the different motivations for some of the scenes that we saw over the course of the weekend, have we got to steer on what caused the outbreak of violence where you are? what of violence where you are? what caused that _ of violence where you are? what caused that violence _ of violence where you are? what caused that violence was - of violence where you are?

8:25 am
i am in what we have seen over the last few days. i am in what we have seen over the last few days-— i am in what we have seen over the last few days. it's been a major policing operation with many officers injured in the line of duty as they faced widespread violence. we're joined now by nazir afzal, the former chief crown prosecutor for north west england. thank you forjoining us. the last time we saw scenes like this was backin time we saw scenes like this was back in 2011. how was that stopped, what lessons did we learn from there, as to how we can possibly tackle what is going on? it there, as to how we can possibly tackle what is going on? it stopped because good _ tackle what is going on? it stopped because good people _ tackle what is going on? it stopped because good people did _ tackle what is going on? it stopped because good people did what - tackle what is going on? it stopped because good people did what they did in the last few days and protected most vulnerable communities. it stopped because the criminaljustice went into shock and all mode, which is 24 our courts, people being brought tojustice swiftly, facing very severe
8:26 am
something like 2000 people convicted —— facing very severe penalties. a lot longer than they would imagine they would go to prison. it happened quickly and it dampened the danger that people facts, the risk people felt, it made people feel more reassured that something will change. and there is a lot of fear. my change. and there is a lot of fear. my son said to me yesterday, when is this going to stop? particularly people of colour are feeling very frightened right now. so we have to provide them with the reassurance. we have learned from what happen in 2011, we did be people tojustice and if you were involved in the right, you will go to prison. we now have drone footage, cctv footage, we have drone footage, cctv footage, we have social media footage, we have had an increase in smartphones but a reduction of smart people. some --eole reduction of smart people. some people filming — reduction of smart people. some people filming themselves. - reduction of smart people. some people filming themselves. it - reduction of smart people. some i people filming themselves. it really be cars people filming themselves. it really beggars belief- _ people filming themselves. it really beggars belief. that _ people filming themselves. it really beggars belief. that is _ people filming themselves. it really l beggars belief. that is overwhelming evidence against them, they will
8:27 am
plead guilty when they are charged. so we have stacks of evidence. the police have already downloaded it, it has been saved, it will be examined, and that means you can delete as much as you like but it also said that those not involved in the writing directly at the time but might have encouraged it, incited it, they will be very concerned that they could get a knock on the door. real change can be brought over the next few days and weeks with what is planned. is next few days and weeks with what is lanned. , . . , . planned. is the criminal 'ustice s stem planned. is the criminal 'ustice system able * planned. is the criminal 'ustice system able to h planned. is the criminal 'ustice system able to cope _ planned. is the criminaljustice system able to cope with - planned. is the criminaljustice system able to cope with what| planned. is the criminaljustice . system able to cope with what the home secretary has called a reckoning? are we in a different situation than we were in 2011? we know the prisons are pretty much full, there is a huge backlog of court cases already. how can we possibly think about introducing potentially hundreds and thousands of people into the system, is that practical? it of people into the system, is that ractical? , , , practical? it is because we did it in 2011, we _ practical? it is because we did it in 2011, we had _ practical? it is because we did it in 2011, we had austerity - practical? it is because we did it in 2011, we had austerity then. i practical? it is because we did it i in 2011, we had austerity then. so we know how to do this. there will
8:28 am
be a knock—on effect, no getting away from it, there are cases that ought to be heard and planned to be heard in the next week or two which will be delayed because the judges and the courts are occupied. we have had a reduction in the number of police stations in the number of years, and court buildings, but we know what works, we had a protocol put in place in 2011 which enabled us to ensure we have judges in place, prosecutors know what they are doing, police officers know what they are doing and strangely we have got more evidence now than we had back then. people have stupidly filmed themselves committing these crimes and that makes the case is easier to prosecute. i crimes and that makes the case is easier to prosecute.— easier to prosecute. i wonder whether there _ easier to prosecute. i wonder whether there will _ easier to prosecute. i wonder whether there will be - easier to prosecute. i wonder whether there will be a - easier to prosecute. i wonder - whether there will be a frustration here. clearly people want law and order back on the streets but people were shoplifting with impunity because you do not arrest shoplifters, because you cannot prosecute because there is no capacity. people who have suffered burglaries, police don't turn up because they can't prosecute. victims of really serious crimes are
8:29 am
waiting 22 months on average for that case get caught. but when we need to weaken fast track cases and 24 hours. —— we can fast track cases. so why is this different? i cases. so why is this different? i was here on friday talking about the subject, absolutely, there are massive delays in the system, they predate covid, 60,000 in the crown court, 500,000 the magistrate court. in all of those will wait longer. some of them will. the government are planning to bring in specialist courts, planning to bring in more retired judges, appoint morejudges, retired judges, appoint more judges, there retired judges, appoint morejudges, there is a strategy in place to deal with the massive delays. however, to be blunt, this is an emergency. it requires an emergency response. in britain is good and emergency responses. if you are involved in the right, you will go to prison. if you conspired with those who carried on the right, you will go to prison.
8:30 am
if you simply transported people to the riot, you will go to prison. 24 years, not months.— the riot, you will go to prison. 24 years, not months. thank you very much. we wa nt we want to take a moment to remember where this began. the community of southport who lost three young girls killed in a knife attack a week ago today. elsie dot stancombe, bebe king and alice dasilva aguiar were killed at a taylor swift themed dance event and despite the unrest that has followed, those who live in the town refused to let violence win. still raw, still processing, still trying to cope in any way they know how. the first weekend since the attacks on hart street, in the very heart of this community, has, for many, been the first opportunity to pause and to reflect. and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. still raw, still processing,
8:31 am
still trying to cope and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. just a mile away from the scene at holy trinity church, there were prayers for the three young girls, theirfamilies, friends and those whose job it is to care for them. the beginning of the answer to the question, how can we live in a town where a great evil was done, comes from knowing that it is a town where great heroism was shown too. a town where adults, among them the leader of the class, a supply teacher at our school, were injured trying to shield the children from their attacker. southport has always been a place where heroes live. at the bottom of the shield, you can see a ship. that ship represents the southport lifeboat. at either end of the police cordon, and with every hour that passes, the gifts, messages and floral tributes continue to grow.
8:32 am
and here, once more, people are doing what they can to help. katie runs dance classes at the hart centre where the attacks took place. along with her friend anna they're tending to the flowers. we're just trying to make it look a bit more presentable, really, and just take all the cellophane out, just for the families and for everybody affected, just so that flowers will last a bit longer. we sort of feel compelled to come down here. i go past this spot every single day, and wejust want to keep it looking as nice as possible for everybody. you know, you feel like you need to do something, don't you? yeah. can't sit at home... sorry. i can'tjust sit at home. i've got to do something, and i've spent years in the hart space. i can't get the vision of the studio and the landing and the stairs out of my head. but i feel better when i'm here than i do at home for some reason. you're trying to process it, aren't you? so, you know, it almost feels surreal. # romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. _
8:33 am
many in southport are turning to music, with its ability to provide comfort, a shared endeavour and to raise money to support families. dave medlock thought recording a song by, who else, taylor swift, might attract some interest. ijust put it on facebook. it wasn't attention—grabbing or anything, i said i'm just putting together this charity single, i'm going to need a few people involved, if anyone can help that“ll be fantastic. and before i know it, a choir turned up, you turned up, and i got over 150 responses. so the fact that we've come together like this just proves that southport really can stand together, and that together we are really strong. octave, a local community choir, is taking part. # marry me, juliet, we'll never have to be alone. sarah mcentee, one of the organisers, has a young daughter who wanted to go to the dance group last monday. everyone here knows
8:34 am
someone deeply affected. i think what we're going through is nothing in comparison to what our friends are going through that have lost children, or who still have children in hospital. part of you wants to think about them, part of you wants to think about your own family. i have a nine—year—old daughter. her best friend has lost her sister. how do you speak to your children about what's happened? do you speak to them about what's happened? and then, of course, there's all of these amazing things that are going on in the community with people pulling together to help, to use their skills and talent and to be able to try and make a bit of difference. buildings and bridges, hospitals and homes across the north west and farther afield have, over the past three nights, been lit in pink. a national show of solidarity. but the people of this town know that it's their own community that will provide the most comfort. john maguire, bbc news, southport.
8:35 am
john is here because we have breaking medical news. a silver medal in the mix triathlon for team gb. we had alex yee winning the gold medal in the men's event and beth potter taking bronze in the women's event. there was a question about whether it would take place. we have spoken about water quality so much. and the big debate about whether it would go ahead and it did. the good news being with the success we had in individual events, following that up in the mixed relay. the mixed events have been brilliant to watch. i wonder if long—term we will see more mixed events in other sport. silver in the triathlon mixed relay. amber rutter secured a silver medal in the shooting yesterday, just over three months after giving birth to her first child.

8:37 am
notjust myself affected. others in the final believe they hit shots and it is a shame. we always had a var system in previous competitions. i am not sure where it was in this one. but i do not want to take away from the moment and i am proud of my performance and to come away with a medal of any colour for my country, i am happy. medal of any colour for my country, lam happy. the medal of any colour for my country, i am happy. the winner did an amazing job. thoroughly deserved. i will celebrate their silver. that is a philosophical approach. a lovely picture straight after wards when you got a cuddle with your three—month—old son. what did it mean that he could be there and be a part of this? it mean that he could be there and be a part of this?— part of this? it was incredible. i had no idea _ part of this? it was incredible. i had no idea he _ part of this? it was incredible. i had no idea he was _ part of this? it was incredible. i had no idea he was coming. - part of this? it was incredible. i had no idea he was coming. myj had no idea he was coming. my husband had travelled down spontaneously in the morning and brought tommy along in the hope that if something happened, i would have
8:38 am
that first moment with him but i had no idea. when i saw him in the crowd, i sprinted over and gave a big hug to my husband and tummy. a moment i treasure forever. i have seen the photos and i cannot believe how magical that moment was. it makes it special because it is only a few months and i feel i sacrificed a few months and i feel i sacrificed a lot in these first months going to training, preparing the best i can. to know it has been worth it and to do it for him itjust feels amazing. how did you celebrate last night? me and how did you celebrate last night? rites: and the rest how did you celebrate last night? m9 and the rest of the team of british shooting, my husband, tommy, we went out and had a few glasses of champagne. i had a lot of media requests over champagne did not last long. i think i got to bed at 2.30 and drove up, a three and a half

8:40 am
couple of days. it feels like a marathon. to have a moment like that, a split decision. i do not want to focus on the negatives. i try not to get to fixed up on it. maybe there will be feelings when things calm down but at the end of the day, coming away with the medal is the best feeling ever.— is the best feeling ever. especially after the last _ is the best feeling ever. especially after the last olympics _ is the best feeling ever. especially after the last olympics when - is the best feeling ever. especially after the last olympics when i - is the best feeling ever. especiallyl after the last olympics when i think you were almost on the plane and then tested positive for covid? yes. to 0 was then tested positive for covid? yes. tokyo was probably _ then tested positive for covid? 193 tokyo was probably the hardest time of my life. i was ready to quit. i tested positive at nine o'clock the night before i was meant to be flying out and my world shifted and i was ready to quit the sport. i did not know what my next moves were and the only reason i carried on competing was to keep a roof over my head, pay bills, financial reasons. working with my psychologist paul,
8:41 am
and the team around me, i started to find momentum again in competitions. i knew if i were to do another olympics my build—up and preparation would be completely different and i would be completely different and i would need to prioritise other things in life like getting married and starting a family. i feel i have neglected that such a long time so the fact i have been able to focus on my mental health, other areas of my life and still come back and put in an amazing performance, it is something ifeel proud of. and something ifeel proud of. and something ifeel proud of. and something i guess at some point i did not think possible. finch something i guess at some point i did not think possible.— did not think possible. such an important _ did not think possible. such an important message. _ did not think possible. such an important message. we - did not think possible. such an important message. we have i did not think possible. such an - important message. we have been lucky on this programme to get to talk to these medallists. they all have amazing, different stories about how they got into their sport. if someone is saying how do i become the next amber roster, how did you start? i the next amber roster, how did you start? , :,

8:44 am
coaching. he was the england men's batting coach. that news this morning about graham thorpe, who has died at the age of 55. thanks. i know you are back with us shortly. a north—south divide as far as the weather is concerned. good morning. that is right. this morning, some have woken up to blue skies like this. others have woken up to rain because low pressure is driving the weather in the north with weather fronts bringing heavy rain. we start in eastern areas with dry weather, sunny intervals. we hang onto them across the south and east and the midlands and the weather front will bring rain through northern ireland, scotland, getting to north—west england by the end of the day and not far away from west wales. some will be heavy and we might hear
8:45 am
thunder in north—west england. on the other side, sunny intervals and showers. a blustery day you are. especially in the coasts in the west and the hills. temperature 16—26 north to south. overnight, the weather front takes rain which is heavy and thundery across northern england and into the midlands, south west england. ahead of it, clear skies and behind it, some cloud but equally some clear skies in western scotland and northern ireland. a warm night and scotland and northern ireland. a warm nightand humid. scotland and northern ireland. a warm night and humid. temperature is widely staying in double figures. we start tomorrow with the same weather front but it is weakening as it pushes into the south—east. we are looking at a largely dry day with sunshine. frequent showers in western scotland and northern
8:46 am
ireland. it will be windy across the northern half of the country and with exposure up to 50 mph. temperatures 16—25, and moving through the rest of the week, tuesday into wednesday, low pressure pushes across and we will see more rain across scotland in particular. the totals in the west of scotland mounting up. and falling on saturated ground. south of that, it is drier and we have temperatures 15-23. is drier and we have temperatures 15—23. temperatures down a touch. it will feel cooler in the wind with the strongest winds in the north. from wednesday into thursday, low pressure pushes away only to be replaced by another coming in. after a dry and bright start in the east during thursday, cloud will build and as weather fronts come in from the west, that will bring more rain.
8:47 am
and it will be windy, especially in the west. temperatures 15—23. feeling cooler in the wind and rain. beyond that, unsettled in the north, more settled in the south. motorists who may have been ripped off when taking out car finance loans will now have to wait until next year to find out if they are owed compensation. nina is looking at this. this is quite complicated could you give us clarity? if you took out a finance deal between 2007 and 2021 for card, you could be up for compensation, although not as quickly as we hoped. good morning. buying a car on finance has become increasingly popular. processes like personal contract purchases mean you don't buy the car outright,
8:48 am
but pay a monthly fee over a set period to cover its depreciation. now the industry regulator — the financial conduct authority — is investigating something called discretionary commission arrangements. this was a process where lenders allowed dealers to inflate the rate of interest on the loan in order to secure a commission. good for the dealer, but not for the customer, who was often unaware it was happening. that's why this practice was banned in 2021. it's thought that around 40% of deals taken out between 2007 and 2021 could have been affected this way. so the fca is investigating whether compensation should be paid. we were expecting those results next month, but because of the scale of the issue, they're now being pushed back to may next year. disappointing if you've put your application in, but there is some good news. the fca says compensation is now a more likely outcome than it was at the start
8:49 am
of the investigation. if you did take out a car finance deal before 2021 and it is the first you have heard of it, don't panic. it's not too late. what you need to do is go to the website of the finance company that you took out a car finance loan from, they will have a dedicated web page, you will be able to enter your details, and they will be able to tell you. they're not going to be able to tell you on the spot but they will be able to come back to you and tell you whether or not your finance agreement is in the scope of this particular investigation. or you can ring the finance company and they'll be able to tell you. potentially an unexpected bonus coming. if you aren't brilliant at keeping paperwork, don't worry. all you need is the name of the finance company, your name, address and the car's registration. quite straightforward.
8:50 am
we have been talking about medals and a good weekend for team gb. we have had another one. yes. but we will talk about the medals at the weekend. we are going to sophie who is going to give us some local success news. yes, more medals at the weekend. one of those went to jake jarman. i am at huntingdon gymnastics club where he trained. a few people here have something to say to jake and harry. well done, jake and harry! well done, jake and harry! we can chat to some of them. you watched it. how did you find it? they are very talented with gymnastics, and both are very lucky to get— gymnastics, and both are very lucky to get a _ gymnastics, and both are very lucky to get a medal. how gymnastics, and both are very lucky to get a medal-— to get a medal. how about you? i thinkjake did _ to get a medal. how about you? i thinkjake did really _ to get a medal. how about you? i thinkjake did really well. -
