the king has called for unity and has offered a message of thanks to the police and emergency services for restoring peace to areas affected by violent disorder across the uk. more than 740 people have been arrested since the outbreak of widespread disorder. in paris, it is gold for ethiopia's tamirat tola after he broke the olympic record to win the men's marathon, as the final weekend of the games got under way. hello. i'm nicky schiller. let's get more on the disorder that has been playing out in towns and cities across england and northern ireland. king charles has praised the way "community spirit" and "compassion" have countered the "aggression and criminality". he says he hopes "shared values of mutual respect and understanding,

will continue to strengthen and unite the nation". a library that was set on fire during the violence in liverpool had served one of the most deprived communities in the city. hundreds of thousands of pounds have been raised to rebuild it, as phil mccann reports. this was the moment rioters tried to destroy the hub of this community. i seen it online, i seen flames on the inside of our amazing building, so i was just devastated. and this is the spellow hub today. normally, you'd come here to borrow a book, get help from the council, go tojob workshops, and there were classes like these for children. they've had to move down the road. such a loss... kelly runs the classes. it's their sense of community, it's somewhere where they can come and belong and just be children. we haven't got that much money in this community, so everything that we have we look after. so to see this is really shocking. well, the damage here might look devastating, but it is much less severe

in the rest of this facility. there is still a lot of smoke damage, though, and so it might take quite some time to get this place back online for this community. two online fundraising campaigns will help. together, they've raised nearly £250,000. and they've had donations from authors like nigella lawson, matt haig and the children's laureate frank cottrell—boyce. liam, who's a local school librarian, started one of them. i've been blown away by the response. i initially set a target for £500, aimed specifically at family and friends. donations have come from around the world, but also from this community in the streets around everton�*s goodison park. i think that just shows how close the community are in liverpool. when it actually matters, they are there for one another. thank you to everyone who's raised any money for it, and i hope it's put to good use and we get a bullet—proof library that no—one can get into.

the council here says the support is appreciated and humbling. phil mccann, bbc news, liverpool. since the unrest began almost two weeks ago there have been more than 740 arrests, with more than 300 people charged in connection with the disorder. 118 people are now behind bars. yesterday, the first jail terms for encouraging unrest on social media were handed down to three men — tyler kay, richard williams and jordan parlour. 26—year—old kay was sentenced to three years and two months in prison for inciting racial hatred online. cou nter— protesters also received sentences. sameer ali and adnan ghafoor said they had been provoked by anti—muslim insults in leeds before punching a group of men. the judge said that was no excuse. more sentences are expected to be handed down next week. katie barnfield has been to bolton to see how communities affected by the violence are trying to move on.

nearly a week on from the violence that gripped bolton, the town is still feeling the impact. several people have now been arrested after tiles, bottles and fireworks were thrown between two groups of rival protesters. but some business owners say it's left people frightened to come here. rumours going through and my customer is scared, he don't come, and we very bad situation still. amran says the takings at his shoe shop are down 80% over the past week. how can i pay my rent and rates and, you know, business, everything? it's not i feel for personally, oh, he kills me, that's no problem. but the main thing, you kill my business. arif had to close his restaurant on sunday after rocks were thrown outside. it's been so quiet since, he's struggling to cover his rent. usually i have in the lunchtime over 200 customers and the breakfast

around 150 customers coming. but yesterday, before yesterday, three days ago, the market, the town centre, empty. the door is open, but no people. the week's disorder across the north west comes at a time when many business owners are already struggling. the federation of small businesses say for some it will be a difficult road to recovery. bear in mind some of these businesses are on really wafer thin margins. they've got high staff costs, they've got business rates to pay for, energy bills are still sky high, so this is just another cost to bear for them. for many it will be the final nail in the coffin, actually. greater manchester police are still looking for 12 people over the disorder that broke out here last sunday and say they want to reassure communities they have the resources in place to protect them from further disruption. i heard in the news now he takes a third cobra meeting. that's a good sign. it means the government is very

seriously take this all concern. i think in the market will come back quickly, like this, you know? so you feel hopeful? you feel positive? yes. local businesses here in bolton are just hoping that rumours of more protests this weekend don't come to pass. earlier, my colleague at bbc breakfast naga munchetty spoke to the former chair of the criminal bar association, francis fitzgibbon kc for his assessment of the pace of the prosecutions. the speed with which the entire criminaljustice system has reacted has been extraordinary. you have to remember that there is currently a backlog of, i think, 76,000 cases waiting to get on in the crown court, at least. so they've had to push lots of other cases out of the way to make room for the emergency that the riots have generated in order to show people that this kind of behaviour will be dealt with very, very swiftly and very firmly.

it's a tribute to all those concerned in the system, from police to prosecutors to advocates to court staff to judges to probation officers, that they've been able to prioritise these cases very much against the odds, i think, because the system in general, as your viewers will probably know, is massively over capacity and has been starved of resources for a very long time. so how have the resources been able to be stretched for this? well, as far as the courts are concerned, they will have had to move other cases out of the way to make room for for these ones. so when they come back, one doesn't know, but they'll have to join the queue at some stage. but essentially, everyone has just gone that extra mile to make sure that these cases are dealt with at maximum speed. i suppose these are the ones, though, where people have pleaded guilty, so that makes it quicker. that's right.

those are the ones that really have been fast—tracked. i think people who are fighting their cases will have to wait. many of them have found themselves remanded in custody, so they're getting their first, possibly their first, or if not their first a taste of prison as a result of what they've been up to or what they've been charged with doing, i should say, in the course of these disturbances. the courts are currently listing cases in 2026, even in 2027. so there's no telling really when some of these people will be on trial. although i imagine that they'll want to again bump them up the list for the same reasons that they've been dealing with a guilty pleas very quickly. where do you sit on this? i mean, you will know, and you would have no doubt, as many of your colleagues have been being frustrated by seeing cases delayed for months, years, in terms of getting to course getting to courts. i'm thinking, you know,

we often speak about how long it takes for rape convictions to get through for rape trials to happen. how do we balance or how do you balance in your head looking at the urgency that has been made clear about setting an example and a zero tolerance approach to violence and thuggery, to actually people who are still waiting forjustice to be served? no one should think that the the usual slow pace of the process is due to idleness by anybody concerned. as i say, the system is working at or over capacity at present and this is a one off event being able to do things this quickly. if they wanted to speed the whole system up, it would require a massive amount of investment in people and resources. for example, the last

government sold off, i think, about half of the court buildings in the country. so at the very start of the process there's a squeeze on the amount of room that's available for cases to be heard. i think police numbers are now going up again, but a lot of people have left the profession of criminal law for one reason or another, partly because of burnout, because the workload has been so high, partly because the fees haven't really kept up with cost of living in lots of parts of the country. so there are all sorts of pressures that remain and that will continue to remain unless somebody realises that if you wantjustice to be done quickly and efficiently, you've got to put resources into it. the transport secretary has written to the bosses of the train operator cross country to express "serious concern" about its performance. the company has announced cuts to its services for the next three months while it deals with a backlog

of driver training. louise haigh said cancellations on cross country services had increased significantly in the past year, and it must agree an improvement plan. the funeral of jay slater, who died while on holiday in tenerife, is being held today in accrington. the 19—year—old, from 0swaldtwistle, was found after a 29—day search. an inquest found he died from traumatic head injuries consistent with a fall from height. the search resumed this morning for missing retired doctor tom doherty. the 67—year—old from st albans sent emergency messages four days ago asking for help, saying he had fallen and couldn't move. a major search has been hampered by fog, while today is expected to be extremely hot. today is the penultimate day of the games and there are a whopping 39 gold medals up for grabs, making it the busiest day

of olympics action since 2000. this morning, ethiopa's tamirat tola has already won gold in the men's marathon with a time of two hours, six minutes and 26 seconds — a new 0lympic record. it is ethiopa's third medal at these games and its first gold. this is the scene live in the french capital. later today, in an olympic first, members of the public will follow in the shoes of the 0lympian marathon runners, with about 20,000 amateur runners racing on the same course. other highlights today include the women's football final between the usa and brazil and the men's basketball final between the hosts, france, and the usa. in yesterday's results, team gb picked up another six medals. there was a surprise gold for toby roberts in boulder and lead climbing and katarina johnson—thompson picked up silver in the heptathlon — herfirst olympic medal.

our sports correspondent patrick geary reports. somewhere in between the elation and exhaustion, katarina johnson—thompson realised finally she was an olympic silver medallist. she lay just a few seconds from gold, but a world away from the pain of previous games. i'm just so relieved, i'm so happy, i'm so, so happy that i've got an olympic medal to add to my collection, it's the only one i didn't have. it's been so hard getting to this point, getting back to this point, so i am so relieved. injuries have robbed her of these memories before, but this time her body wouldn't buckle. after the long jump and a season's bestjavelin throw, she knew she would need to beat belgium's nafi thiam by more than eight seconds in the final event, the 800 metres. kjt threw everything at trying to run away from the greatest heptathlete of her generation. commentator: this is a great run | from katarina johnson-thompson, |

it stops for her about 2.045. that was the fastest she had ever run it, but thiam was just too close behind. commentator: nafi thiam will take the gold medal, i she will take her third successive heptathlon gold. at one point katarina johnson—thompson didn't know if she would ever compete again. now her games has ended, if not quite in victory, then in her own personal glory. gold was within reach for the women's 4x100m relay team as well, and they were hurtling towards it the way dina asher—smith started. but in the rain, the changeovers were messy. fortunately, the last leg was neita. commentator: it will be - sha'carri richardson, usa win it, great britain the silver medal. that relay silver was followed a few minutes later by a bronze from the men, including zharnel hughes who missed the 200 metres through injury. staying on track, an astonishing

late burst from elena barker earned a silverfor her and her teammate mia evans in the women's madison, while jack carlin�*s route to bronze took a strange detour into competitor harrie levreysen. no punishment for carlin, who came through in the deciding race to earn a medal. commentator: bronze for great britain. - but only one british athlete climbed to the very top of the mountain yesterday. toby roberts has spent much of his 19 years trying to work out how to get there. the boulder and lead final requires problem—solving, strength and skill. with this climb, roberts touched gold. but he would have to watch the attempt of the favourite, sorato anraku, nicknamed the 0ctopus. at the crucial moment he lost suction. commentator: he's off! it is a gold medal to toby roberts! a moment of a lifetime, celebrated with his dad, who built him a climbing wall in his garden during lockdown.

everyone can have a good plan but to implement it like he has and show up every day and fight as hard as he has, that's what makes it happen. he is so diligent and driven and, yeah, he has made this happen. toby roberts is britain's first 0lympic gold—medallist in sport climbing. he has shown a generation the rocky path to the top. patrick gearey, bbc news. toby roberts, the 19—year—old nicknamed the terminator, has become britain's first olympic champion in boulder and lead climbing. he told our colleages on bbc breakfast, naga munchetty and charlie stayt, how it felt to win gold. it still hasn't quite sunk in. it's the morning after and i'm still absolutely buzzing. now look, i want to know how you celebrated last night because these are the important things. we'll talk about the sport in a moment, but what was last night like? i haven't actually fully celebrated yet. i had a nice glass of champagne afterwards, but it's been pretty hectic since since the competition.

i'm excited to get up today and then watch the women's competition, actually. then i'm sure there'll be celebrations to come later today or tomorrow. that sounds very restrained. very sensible. when you're climbing, tell me... we saw your face when you were waiting to see sorato anraku's climb and he was ever so close, wasn't he? what was it like when you realised he'd failed? it was just absolute disbelief and shock. i'm not, like, everwishing someone to fall off the wall. it's more you want everyone to give their best in the competition. you want to win it on level terms. but absolutely, once he fell off and i realised that i won the gold, it was just a huge flood of emotions and it's like, wow, i've just achieved my dream. i'm an olympic champion.

also yesterday, the algerian boxer imane khelif, who has been embroiled in a gender eligibility row at the games, won gold in the women's welterweight category. the 25—year—old beat the chinese world champion yang liu after dominating the fight. imane khelif and the taiwanese boxer lin yuting's participation at the games has proven controversial after both were disqualified from last year's world championships — by the international boxing association — forfailing to meet gender eligibility criteria. the international olympic committee's president, thomas bach, has defended their participation and has described the row as a politically motivated culture war. you can follow this all on the bbc. if you'd describe yourself as a chocoholic, you might

want to keep an eye on the cost of your favourite treat. soaring cocoa prices are hitting manufacturers, which means some are using alternative ingredients to keep costs down, but as our reporter andrew turner's been finding out, chocolate on the cheap may leave a nasty taste in your mouth! would you rather pay more or eat less? that's a chocolate bar today. 0n the current cocoa prices, that would be your chocolate bar tomorrow if you were to take all that price increase that we are seeing and reflect it in material. the global price of cocoa has soared, hitting chocolate—makers everywhere and, although the price has fallen since april, it's still hitting production costs. my retails should not move. i'm taking a little bit of weight out. i'm looking at how i can take more cost out of my business and i'm taking absorption of that cost, as well. cutting the cocoa content is another option, increasing things like sugar or milk,

which are cheaper. one way of reducing the cocoa content is to substitute cocoa butter with vegetable fat, which can be made from palm oil, shea nuts, illipe. if you substitute too much, you can no longer call the product chocolate. it has to be called 'chocolate flavoured'. two—thirds of the world's cocoa is grown in africa, where weather, disease and low yields have hit supplies. starting his business in essex, mike simmonds moved to norfolk, where now he's having to diversify into coffee and ice creams so he doesn't have to bulk out his chocolate with cheaper ingredients. i don't think we could do it because it would impact the flavour and the quality of the products that we make. so, no, i wouldn't do that, any more than i would do the shrinkflation thing that a lot of companies do. so we maintain the size and the quality. we should be able to ride it unless it does another doubling or trebling as it's done already this year.

well, you could put all sorts of things into chocolate, but look, chocolate is there to make you happy, right? so i don't want to put more things into my chocolate that don't make people happyjust because of cost. there are also chocolate substitutes on the market. have you tasted them? you don't get the endorphins come through that make you happy. you don't get the flavour, you do get the melt, but it'sjust brown stuff that melts in your mouth. it's not chocolate. so if you, like me, are a chocoholic, keep your eye on the ingredients and pack size, as well as the price. andrew turner, bbc news, norfolk. when the sun shines lots of us love to spend a day at the beach, but if you're a wheelchair—user or have issues with your mobility, access to the seaside can often be frustratingly off—limits. however, a charity in fleetwood is helping to change that by offering specially adapted wheelchairs and facilities. 0ur reporter ellis palmer can explain. well, at least the sun's trying to

poke out when i arrive in fleetwood. we're blessed with a fantastic and varied coastline here in the north—west, but all too often i'm limited in where i can go as a wheelchair—user. but i'm here in fleetwood today to meet a group of volunteers who are making the beach accessible and creating special memories. the charity was started in 2018. it aims to get everyone out and down the beach. so, mick, how are these different from normal wheelchair? this particular chair, it reclines. the legs go up as well so that we can put them in various different positions. the arms... mick dreamt up the idea when he saw a young wheelchair—user unable to get to the sea. the tyres themselves are very, very large. they're three pounds per square inch, which means that they can go across virtually all terrain. in you go. there are changing facilities as well, so it's easy to get ready and move across from one wheelchair to another.

we've got a sink that rises and falls, there's a privacy screen there and a complete shower unit as well, so that you can do everything you need to do in complete and utter privacy. over a thousand people so far have booked in and there's no age limit. what better way for irene to celebrate a century than a paddle in the sea? 0ne user has made a lasting impression. leighton. unfortunately, because of his lack of mobility and the fact that he was a wheelchair—user, he was never able to access the beach, so when i found here, it was a great thing to find and we were just able to transfer him from his own wheelchair into the wheelchairs that they provide here. then he was able to go onto the beach and into the water. and what was that water like? cold! but leighton really loved it and at one point we parked him in a stream that was running through and he just spent a long time in there, just looking down at the water. he loved it.

it meant so muchjust because the beach had never been accessible, so to be able to have those memories as a family and access to beach and the water, it wasjust really, really amazing memories. a month after his visit, leighton died. it is a very emotional place for me to visit. very, very special place for our family. what do you get from working with this service? tremendous satisfaction. just so lovely to see the smiles on people's faces, whether they be young or old. so many people have either never been on the beach before, or certainly haven't been on for the last 30, 40 years. we're all in tears sometimes, volunteers as well as the clients. it is lovely. and now it's time for me to get ready for the beach. joining me are matt and megan.

it's just fantastic. we can get right up into the water. we know that it's safe and it's comfortable and all these fantastic people help us and it's just brilliant. i don't know what i was thinking going shirtless into the sea, but... as a way of getting to enjoy the sea as a wheelchair—user, it's fantastic. if you're planning on coming down, make sure you book. mick and the team now hope to get everyone surfing. if that happens, i'm definitely coming back. now it's time for a look at the weather with elizabeth. hello there. more sunshine expected as we head through the weekend, especially tomorrow, right across the uk. there will be a brief spike in heat and humidity, particularly for southern and eastern areas of england.

it will be only brief because we will see fresher feeling conditions with some outbreaks of rain by the time we get to tuesday. we're not quite there yet with the heat either today. there is a lot of cloud from this weather front towards the south of england and across wales, some patches of rain towards the west at times. still a slice of sunshine across the far south and the east. a lot of this cloud will tend to break up through the afternoon. the best of the sunshine will be across northern ireland, parts of northern england, where it should stay largely dry. a scattering of showers for north—west scotland. here it is cooler and still breezy, but elsewhere the winds are lighter than they were yesterday. highs of 16 to 25 celsius. tonight, well, it will still feel rather muggy, but a cooler night towards the north and the west with clear spells developing. a bit of mist and low cloud perhaps into tomorrow morning and the risk of some sea fog towards the south coast. across the south, again, lows of around 13 to 16 degrees. high pressure dominates as we head through sunday. we're drawing in more of a south—easterly wind and that's going to allow the temperatures

to build for many of us. the sea fog could lap onshore at times, but it should all be gone, even out towards the south—west, as we head through the afternoon. some areas of cloud at times, but a lot of sunshine too. the sunshine, of course, will help the temperatures to rise, so a warmer looking day across the board. 16 to 23 celsius in scotland, but maybe the high 20s now in the far south—east of england. on monday we're likely to see the peak of the heat towards the south and the east, but some heavy, thundery showers further north and west, just gradually tracking their way further eastwards. temperature—wise, we could get as high as perhaps 32 or even 33 degrees celsius somewhere across southern or eastern areas of england, making it the warmest day of the year so far if we do get to 33 degrees. atlantic fronts, though, pushing in from the west on tuesday will bring some fresher feeling conditions. still the high 20s in south—east england, but much cooler than that further north and west. there will be some outbreaks of rain gradually pushing eastwards.

that sets the tone, really, for the rest of the week — cooler and quite unsettled at times. bye— bye.
