possession of a knife. olivia richwald, bbc news. the us vice president kamala harris has repeated her calls for a ceasefire in palestine after the director of a local hospital said more than 70 people were killed when an israeli air strike hit a school in gaza city yesterday. at least a thousand displaced palestinians were sheltering in the school when the attack took place during morning prayers. the israeli military has claimed a hamas command centre was operating at the school, which hamas denies. president zelensky has admitted for the first time that ukrainian forces are carrying out an offensive inside russia. in his nightly address, he said ukraine was proving that it could bring pressure on what he called "the aggressor". moscow first reported a major incursion into its kursk region on tuesday. thousands of people are being evacuated on both sides of the border. authorities in brazil say they have recovered all bodies from the site of a plane crash in the south of the country. all 62 people on board the flight
6:04 am
died in the crash on friday in the state of sao paolo, where three days of mourning has been declared. the business secretary has urged insurance companies to deal swiftly with claims by shops and high street firms that were damaged in the disorder which followed the southport attack. jonathan reynolds said the insurance industry must do all it can to help affected businesses get back on their feet. our political correspondent damian grammaticas has more on this. this is something the government has been focused on now in the aftermath of the damage that we have seen from the riots. jonathan reynolds was in liverpooljust the riots. jonathan reynolds was in liverpool just a few days the riots. jonathan reynolds was in liverpooljust a few days ago and visited the scene of some of the damage that was caused there, including the library, in walton which had been targeted. they had been arson, there had been looting there. he also spoke to local businesses and heard from them
6:05 am
particularly around insurance claims and the need for those to be processed quickly so those businesses can get back on their feet and get working again. so what the business secretaryjonathan the business secretary jonathan reynolds the business secretaryjonathan reynolds has done is he has written to the association of british insurers, urging them, he says, to swiftly resolve any claims to ensure that businesses do not suffer delays because of the government does not want to seize those businesses shutting down and going out of business. they are damaged and lost business. they are damaged and lost business and it's important they are processed quickly. that is something the government is pressing. as an additional note to that, what we know is downing street has confirmed this weekend that the prime minister has delayed any plans for a holiday so he can stay in the country to focus on the aftermath and handling of the situation. thejustice secretary has warned that the recent violent disorder may impact the justice system for years, given the number
6:06 am
of criminal cases that have resulted. writing in the observer, shabana mahmood said the extra demands on courts and prisons will make it harder for the government to rebuild the system. her comments come as the director of public prosecutions said some rioters could be jailed for up to ten years. thousands of anti—racism protesters rallied in towns and cities yesterday, including belfast, birmingham, cardiff and glasgow. it follows a week of violent disorder in parts of england and northern ireland, which led to more than 775 arrests. a number of police officers have been injured during disorder in londonderry. petrol bombs, fireworks and stones were thrown by nationalist youths at police lines during trouble in nailors row. it followed a major police operation in the city surrounding an annual protestant parade, which passed off without incident. the paris olympics will come to a close later but before that, there are more chances
6:07 am
for great britain to increase its already impressive medal haul. yesterday, the tally grew to 63 after a successful day on the track, the taekwondo mat, and the pool. our sports correspondent joe lynskey has the round—up. it started aged eight in a bristol leisure centre when kate shortman and izzy thorpe performed their first duet, to swimmers on one breathless journey and now it has led to this. written�*s first olympic medal in artistic swimming. it is time for everyone _ medal in artistic swimming. it is time for everyone in _ medal in artistic swimming. tit 3 time for everyone in great britain to hold their breath. the?e time for everyone in great britain to hold their breath.— to hold their breath. they were forth when _ to hold their breath. they were forth when they _ to hold their breath. they were forth when they started - to hold their breath. they were forth when they started their . forth when they started their routine called the rising phoenix, a name that sums up how the pair has reached this point. in tokyo, they came 14th and almost quit the sport. three years of perseverance have helped in their accent, china took the gold but for kate shortman and izzy thorpe, the silver was reward

6:09 am
tonight, paris or pass on the baton to la, 2028, and we got two british relay metals, bronze in the men's and women's four x 400, where they hung on. and the same achievement to win bronze came to georgia bell to win bronze came to georgia bell to win the 1500 metres but awaited the finish had been quite remarkable. she'd been a good junior runner but then quit the sport, inspired to return when she ran a quick park run. ,, , ,., return when she ran a quick park run, ,, , . return when she ran a quick park run-_ faith - return when she ran a quick park. run._ faith kipyegon run. she is so close! faith kipyegon won, but run. she is so close! faith kipyegon won. but was _ run. she is so close! faith kipyegon won, but was georgia _ run. she is so close! faith kipyegon won, but was georgia bell's - run. she is so close! faith kipyegon won, but was georgia bell's strokerj won, but was georgia bell's stroker brilliance. ~ ., . ~ ., brilliance. when i got back into runnina , brilliance. when i got back into running. the — brilliance. when i got back into running, the goal _ brilliance. when i got back into running, the goal wasn't - brilliance. when i got back into running, the goal wasn't to - brilliance. when i got back into l running, the goal wasn't to make brilliance. when i got back into - running, the goal wasn't to make the olympics, that would have been bonkers at the time. it was just going back to something i really loved. ijust thought going back to something i really loved. i just thought go for it and see what happens. ten loved. i just thought go for it and see what happens.— see what happens. ten track and field medals _

6:11 am
at and that is emily campbell, winning silverback in tokyo, the first ever olympic women's weightlifting medalfor first ever olympic women's weightlifting medal for team first ever olympic women's weightlifting medalfor team gb. she says when she looks good, she feels good and performs at her best and she actually has their own eyelash technician here with her to the olympic games and she will face a real challenge for gold as the chinese competitor is a formidable force. in the modern pentathlon, this finishes today and there are two british women in with a real chance and they are kate french, the defending champion and carranza brighton so look out for them. that is the final modern pentathlon with the riding event and the velodrome and three chances of the gold and emma finucane one of the rising stars of team gb hoping for her third medal of the games. and what can we expect from the closing ceremony?
6:12 am
i think this will be slightly more conventional! it will be at the stud to france and the athletes will have the chance to march and team gb are hoping for more than 200 of their athletes to take part and they should be taking part in that ceremony and a better chance to look ahead at the los angeles game and it will be a nod to the paralympics, which get under way in a couple of weeks time as well in paris. emit}? weeks time as well in paris. en'oy it all, it weeks time as well in paris. en'oy it an, it has d weeks time as well in paris. en'oy it all, it has been d weeks time as well in paris. en'oy it all, it has been wonderfuli weeks time as well in paris. en'oy it all, it has been wonderful to h it all, it has been wonderful to watch. if you live in london, you might want to go outside and have a good look at your exterior walls this morning to check if the street artist banksy has added yet another creation. yesterday, his sixth artwork in as many days appeared in the capital, but it didn't stay up for long, as our correspondent paul hawkins reports. six animals in six days. why london, and what do they mean? kew�*s teetering goat. the two touching
6:13 am
trunks in chelsea. three monkeys hanging around brick lane. the howling wolf of peckham. two peckish pelicans in walthamstow. and yesterday, cricklewood's stretching cat. but it didn't stay up for long. hours after its reveal, contractors arrived to dismantle the billboard. our guys just got a phone call to come and take it down, so it's just paint at the end of the day. we don't take banksys down every day obviously, but... yeah, we'll do our best to preserve it. if he wants to come and collect it, it's up to him. it's a shame, really. but, as you can see, there's quite a lot of people here today. it's quite nice for cricklewood. it's street art and this must remain in the street. - it's going to be taken down, which is probably best for the safety because people want to take it or deface it. what links his latest artwork is a mystery. is it the locations, the number of animals
6:14 am
or the animals themselves? banksy�*s press team have declined to comment on the meaning. maybe there isn't one — just enjoy them, as you never know when they'll disappear. paul hawkins, bbc news. what will he do next. let's check in with the weather.— with the weather. good morning elizabeth. good _ with the weather. good morning elizabeth. good morning - with the weather. good morning elizabeth. good morning to - with the weather. good morning elizabeth. good morning to you| with the weather. good morning i elizabeth. good morning to you at home. what have we got to look forward to over the next couple of days? hot and forward to over the next couple of days? hotand humid forward to over the next couple of days? hot and humid the heat won't make everybody happy, likely to peak on monday hot outward southern and eastern areas of england but also expecting some thunderstorms, mostly towards the north and west and all the details on those in just a moment for today a lot of sunshine, not every coast will look like this especially first thing. some see file towards the south coast of england that could let on short
6:15 am
times but will have disbursed through the afternoon and linger across southern areas of heaven perhaps, mist and low cloud around first thing but that should break up. a lot of sunshine right across the uk, temperatures pig in the low to mid 20s for most, towards parts of london and berks we could get to 29 or 30, coolerfor of london and berks we could get to 29 or 30, cooler for north sea facing coast than yesterday. because of the light onshore breeze it's a south—easterly dragging warm air and from the near continent. overnight a few thunderstorms, pushing eastwards across northern ireland in western scotland, which for some but for many largely dry with some clear spells around and possibly a tropical night for the south of england when temperatures don't go below 20 degrees, it will be warm and sticky, uncomfortable for sleeping for many. as we go through monday, this is the picture,
6:16 am
expecting the cold front to sweep its way further eastwards, behind this a much fresher feeling here, this a much fresher feeling here, this is where the cooler areas, meeting the warm air streaming and from what has been a very hot southern europe. where the air masses meet we will see the thunderstorm, mostly across northern ireland, western scotland but expect one or two very heavy showers in northern england, through the morning showers fading away into the afternoon, and improving picture for most of us. there will be some sunshine towards the north we will see most of the weather but towards the south the highest temperatures. we could get to 34 degrees somewhere towards london and parts of cambridge and maybe through monday afternoon feeling sticky and humid as well. fresher air is on the way for everybody. that will take hold on tuesday, most of the rain out towards the west, all pushing further eastward, still across eastern areas of england we expect the heat to last, temperatures still
6:17 am
here in the high 20s as we hit tuesday afternoon when mostly dry. some showers further north and west and fresher. some showers further north and west and fresher-— and fresher. some sunna -- some sunna some _ and fresher. some sunna -- some sunna some summer _ and fresher. some sunna -- some sunna some summer sun - and fresher. some sunna -- some sunna some summer sun and - and fresher. some sunna -- some - sunna some summer sun and showers to break it up. let's take a look at today's papers. many, including the sunday mirror, lead with tributes from the parents of six—year—old southport victim bebe king, in which they reveal their older daughter, genie, was also present during the attack. lauren and ben king said their world is "shattered" and paid tribute to nine—year—old genie's "strength and courage". the sunday times leads with a warning from britain's director of public prosecutions, stephen parkinson, that hundreds more people involved in the riots "will be hauled before the courts in the coming days". some are expected to receive sentences of up to ten years in jail. and the observer has warnings from thejustice secretary, shabana mahmood, who is quoted
6:18 am
as saying the response to the riots has been made harder due to court backlogs and prison overcrowding inherited from the conservatives. we inherited from the conservatives. are back with mc shortly. it's time now for the latest technology news, on this week's edition of click. let me take you up. up into the air. up above the clouds. above the weather. above all the aircraft. this is the stratosphere.
6:19 am
a place yet to be conquered by humankind. up here, the air is thin and calm. and it is here that you'll find the zephyr. this is a strange beast, and the fact that it flies this high is the least strange thing about it. see, it only travels at 40mph. it only weighs 75kg. it's launched by hand. it's completely solar—powered. and in theory, it may be able to stay up here for months. i was last at zephyr�*s base in farnborough in the uk in 2018, when it had just stayed aloft for very nearly 26 days. since then it's done 64. so, this is how it works. during the day, the sun
6:20 am
hits the solar panels, which charge the batteries and power the propellers, and the plane climbs to 75,000ft. when the sun goes down, the batteries completely take over. the propellers do slow down and the plane does lose altitude. the trick, though, is to make sure you're still above 60,000ft by the time the sun comes up the next morning, and the process can start again. so will the entire wing be covered with solar cells? every single square centimetre, as much as you can, is solar...? actually, the solar array that we use now typically is so efficient that we don't tend to need to do complete coverage. really? yeah, we can actually recharge the batteries most normal days by lunchtime. spencer laughs wow! in theory, is it possible to stay up forever in this? well, i think eventually we'll get as close as we can to that. at the moment, our limitation is the number of cycles the batteries can cope with. so a cycle is a day.
6:21 am
so a full charge and then a full discharge. that's one cycle. and we're targeting six months in the stratosphere at a time. and that's in line with the battery performance that we see coming through. everything about zephyr has been fine tuned. every gram counts, every unit of battery density. the precise curve of those wings. so, look, i get it. i get that this plane can stay up in the air almost indefinitely. you only have to look at it to understand that it's something pretty special. the main question i have is why? why would you want this kind of craft? who would want this kind of craft? in the 20 years since the idea was first conceived, it's almost like this has
6:22 am
been a solution looking for a problem. would it carry cameras? could it be military? reconnaissance? since airbus spun off the new start—up company aalto in 2023, it's now being pitched for earth observation and as a flying base station for mobile phones. from the stratosphere, at 60 or 70,000ft, we can talk directly to a standard mobile phone, so the aircraft will function exactly like the cell tower that you have today. but it's high up. and because it's so high, so much higher up than the regular cell tower, it can cover the equivalent of about 200 base stations on the ground. so of course, that replaces notjust the, you know, the equipment on the tower, but it replaces the whole tower. that's the steel, that's the backhaul, the fibre, the microwave. very importantly, the power, the electricity or the diesel that runs the tower, and in many cases in remote and rural areas, that's the most expensive part of running a terrestrial tower.
6:23 am
an uplink antenna would connect the mobile network to zephyr, and then zephyr could serve an area of 7,500 square kilometres, in theory for months at a time. this is a real proposition. or, in the event of, say, a natural disaster, a plane could be flown to an area that had suddenly become cut off from the grid. mobile operators have something called cell on wheels, cow, which is usually a truck that has some equipment. we have a cell on wings, a flying cow, which is flying cell on wings. these cows...er, planes will fly autonomously. there are no joysticks involved. the pilots send the plane's coordinates and flight plans, but they're mainly interested in how much energy it's using and making adjustments to keep its batteries fully charged. so this is the ground and this is 80,000ft.
6:24 am
and all this colourful stuff, that's wind. you don't want to be in that. but if you can keep the zephyr above it from about 60,000ft and up, it's pretty plain sailing. the problem is, you've got to get to 60,000ft in the first place, something that can take ten hours from that weird hand launch ta ke—off. trying to get it up into the air is probably the trickiest point. there's a lot more weather down on the surface than there is up in the stratosphere, so just trying to get the right conditions to get through that weather, that's probably the hardest part. we've spent a lot of time and effort studying meteorology in the tropopause, so that we can understand how to transit through it as safely as possible with this aircraft. and we've now done a global study of where all the weather is and all the different weather conditions around the world, and we've found some of the best locations in the world to start launching and landing these from regularly. so where the air is nice and clear, all the way up... all the way through. yeah _ and once we're in the stratosphere, we're away. whatever the final use
6:25 am
for these so—called high altitude platform stations — haps — there does seem to be both the appetite and now the technology to fly high and stay high. is this one of the most satisfying bits of tech to watch? but this 30 printer isn'tjust pleasing on the eye. the walls it's creating have the potential to change our impact on the planet. so one of the big challenges of our city, miami,
6:26 am
and all coastal cities, is rising sea levels and flooding. and traditionally, cities have addressed this by building sea walls, which you see all around us, even here. and the problem with traditional sea walls is that they destroy marine habitats. traditional sea walls leach chemicals and, very simply, they're flat. so when you have a flat sea wall, the organisms that live by the coast, they can't attach to this flat surface. so they migrate. and they were the ones who were eating all the toxins in the water. so once the sea life and the organisms migrate, no—one's there to eat the toxins. and the quality of water goes down 50% within one year of installation. the challenge for kind designs was coming up with something that was economical for communities, but will also enhance the underwater ecosystem, and they think they've got it. these are the walls that you create. yes. talk us through some of the features. 0k. so, there's three really important features, why these make these walls so great for marine life attachment.
6:27 am
one, you have these little micro textures on the wall. and so, if you imagine a rock climber, if they're trying to climb on a flat wall, it's impossible, right? so, same for sea life attachment. then just the nature of the 3d printing process. you have all of these layers on the wall. so these layers are great actually for coral growth. and then lastly, you're not just having your kind of bottom of the food chain on these walls, but because of these caves, you get so much more biodiversity. so every species, their number one thing is that they want to survive, which makes sense. us too. yeah. us included. and so with these caves, as you can see, they're really deep. i can fit my whole arm in here. so that's where your larger organisms can hide from predators. it takes just under one hour for a wall panel to appear before us — much quicker than traditional moulding and setting of concrete.
6:28 am
but this way of manufacturing also brings design flexibility. we have the highest resolution 30 printer in the world, so our layers are one inch thick, which allows us to create, like, this design or anything else. and so since we're just producing in florida right now, we're keeping this design. but as we expand nationally and globally, we can alter our design to make it fit the coastal habitat in any region of the world. you're printing with concrete, which is still one of the most un—environmentally friendly materials there is. are you looking at other materials, or is concrete the only answer here? we are using concrete, one, because concrete sea walls are mandated in many areas. you can use, like, vinyl sea walls, basically plastic sea walls. the problem with them is microplastics are leaching in the water. so also a problem. and two, you can only use them in areas that are very low impact, like a river in orlando or lakes. the difference between traditional concrete and ours is ours is nontoxic,
6:29 am
so it doesn't leach. there's no chlorides, there's no metals, and it's also mixed at a 30% lower temperature than traditional concrete, further decreasing the carbon footprint. the start—up are installing their first walls in florida now. studying their impact will be vital in assessing if they make a positive difference and in what direction the designs will go next. on that note, we will bring this short version of the programme to a close. thanks for watching and we will see you soon.

6:33 am
to the olympic gold medal. she only took the job less than three months ago and this was her first tounrament in charge. they beat brazil 1—0 at parc des princes. mallory swanson�*s second—half finish was enough to secure the americans' first olympic gold since 2012 and their fifth overall. the win underlines hayes' status as one of the best coaches in the women's game. it has been a rough year. this time last year, my dad was dying and i didn't think i had the courage to come and do this and this team of, they have embraced me and welcome me into the family and allowed me to lead them. honestly, it is the greatest moment in my professional career. ollie wood and mark stewart fell short of the medal places in the men's madison after a crash put paid to their chances. wood said he felt like he'd been "rear—ended by a lorry" after this incident with netherlands' jan—willem van schip. the british pair, current world silver medallists, finished 10th as portugal won a historic first olympic gold on the track. after missing out on a medal
6:34 am
in the 1500 metres, jakob ingebrigtsen made up for it by storming to victory in the 5000 metres. the norwegian world champion made his move with two hundred metres to go and finished comfortably ahead of kenya's ronald kwemoi who took silver, with bronze going to american grant fisher. britain's george mills finished last. as the olympics draws to a close, the english football season is underway. manchester city have won the community shield after beating manchester united at wembley. it was 1—1 after 90 minutes and so was decided on penalties. manuel akanji was city's hero, scoring the crucial spotkick, as they won 7—6 in the shootout. players, we are still, we are not far away, we are not far from players, we are still, we are not far away, we are not farfrom our best. it's normal but it is better to win one trophy and we've already

won a trophy and it's nice but the reality is nothing has changed from the fact that we have won the title. well, the premier league begins next friday but the new season in the football league is very much up and running. leeds scored a dramatic late equaliser to rescue a point against promoted portsmouth in the championship. portsmouth thought they'd won the game when callum lang scored from the spot, his second of the game, making it 3—2 in the second minute of injury time. but there was still time for brenden aaronson to get a third for leeds in the 95th minute. it was still called the first division when oxford united last played in this league. they celebrated their return for the first time since 1999 by beating norwich city 2—nil. cameron brannagan doubled oxford's lead in the second half handing new norwich bossjohannes hoff thorup a defeat in his first match in charge. wrexham are back in league one for the first time in 19 years and have got off to an impressive start. they beat wycombe 3—2 and there is already an early
6:36 am
contender for goal of the season. this superb effort from jack marriott doubling their lead. it's worth a replay. hollywood owners ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney were there to witness it. dundee's solid start to the scottish premiership season continued, they beat hearts 3—1 at dens park. scott tiffoney put dundee ahead after 20 minutes. gerard taylor then scored an own goal , followed by a luke mccowan penalty. frankie kent pulled one back for hearts. dundee have played two, won two. champions celtic kicked off the scottish women's premier league with an emphatic 9—0 trouncing of dundee united. celtic were 3—0 up at the break with lucy ashworth—clifford opening the scoring after almost half an hour. united then let in six more goals with maria mcaneny completing the rout with a late double. kyren pollard hit five consecutive sixes as southern brave
6:37 am
beat trent rockets by 2 wickets. the win moves them level on points with hundred leaders oval invincibles. rockets set a target of 127 and looked to be heading for victory until pollard arrived at the crease. all five of his sixes came from the bowling of rashid khan. so brave one place off the top. trent rockets drop to fifth. leeds rhinos kept their superleague play—off bid alive by battering wigan warriors by 30 points to 4 at headingley. rhyse martin scored the last of 4 rhinos' tries to condemn wigan to a third super league defeat in five games. the warriors would have gone back to the top of table with a victory. that is all for now but plenty more olympics build up throughout the day. it is very sentimental in a sense, two weeks of absolute joy! it's been wonderful! because of the timing, it has been great to see in the evening and watch all of the sports. it's not an olympic eventjust yet but another major sporting took

place this weekend that you may have missed. the wife—carrying championship was staged in central hungary. the bbc�*s tim allman followed the action. in many ways, a successful sporting double act is a bit like a marriage. there must be trust, partnership, commitmentand, in this case, a lot of mud. these days, competitors don't actually have to be husband and wife. women can carry men, men can carry women... ..as long as someone is carrying someone. "it was really good, exciting," said derina. "although it was a little difficult, i think — "well, not for me." "for me, it was difficult," said patrick. legend has it wife—carrying dates back to the time of the vikings but it was in finland in the 1990s that the modern—day version of the sport was first staged.
6:39 am
it's actually more complicated than you might think. there are multiple ways of carrying your partner. there's the old—fashioned piggyback. or how about this across—the—shoulder technique? and this is called the estonian method, which proved to be highly effective for eventual winners lithuanian couple vytautas and neringa. she's doing everything perfect. she holds tight, she doesn't bother me — you know, "go, go, go!" she doesn't say that. she stays quiet, she holds tight. she does a lot of hard work... unintelligible announcement. it's 50-50! and they did it in a record time of 54 seconds — which makes them, they say, the fastest married couple in the world. yeah! tim allman, bbc news.

7:14 am
didn't stay up for long, as our correspondent paul hawkins reports. six animals in six days. why london, and what do they mean? kew's teetering goat. the two touching trunks in chelsea. three monkeys hanging around brick lane. the howling wolf of peckham. two peckish pelicans in walthamstow. and yesterday, cricklewood's stretching cat. but it didn't stay up for long. hours after its reveal, contractors arrived to dismantle the billboard. our guys just got a phone call to come and take it down, so it's just paint at the end of the day. we don't take banksys down every day obviously, but... yeah, we'll do our best to preserve it. if he wants to come and collect it, it's up to him. it's a shame, really. but, as you can see, there's quite a lot of people here today. it's quite nice for cricklewood. it's street art and this must remain in the street. - it's going to be taken down, which is probably best for the safety because people want to take it or deface it.
7:15 am
what links his latest artwork is a mystery. is it the locations, the number of animals or the animals themselves? banksy�*s press team have declined to comment on the meaning. maybe there isn't one — just enjoy them, as you never know when they'll disappear. paul hawkins, bbc news. they always get people talking, don't they? what will the weather be out for banksy if he is out and about? good morning! probably not planning to go to colchester but if it does, it will be a lovely day! the heat and humidity levels will be rising, especially in southern and eastern areas of england. today, tonight and tomorrow when it is likely to peak with thunderstorms. today it will be

7:36 am
entitled to through insurance policies as swiftly as possible that's why i'm working with the abi the association of british interest to make sure that happens, it would save any business or small business that has been affected that is underinsured, or is not insured, there is also help available to them, underthe there is also help available to them, under the terms of the right compensation act 2016. it covers damage, destruction, theft of stock from things like looting, i want witnesses to know i am here for them in the recovery and i want to appeal to the public eye getting out to support businesses the weekend and we can the months ahead.— we can the months ahead. people miaht be we can the months ahead. people might be watching _ we can the months ahead. people might be watching and _ we can the months ahead. people might be watching and saying - we can the months ahead. people| might be watching and saying they are little more than words from the government, the right compensation act exists already what sort of difference can your message make? taste difference can your message make? we saw difference can your message make? - saw in the difference can your message make? e saw in the pandemic when businesses were covered especially for consequential loss, loss of trade going forward, sometimes it was the delay in seeing those claims dealt
7:37 am
with on a timescale that got the businesses the support they needed, that was the problem, it wasn't an absence of cupboard was getting the process done is with the as possible stopping working with the abi as part of the answer to that but secondly i was in talking to local businesses that were affected, they weren't aware if they were uninsured or are not insured that there was help to them. but also making sure the public know they are safe and reassured, they can get out and if they feel passionate about small businesses and hythe street get out and give them support, that is what people need more than anything else. you touched on public confidence and just feeling safe on the streets and flicking through the newspapers in the observer, there has been a warning that rights will set back efforts to rebuild our broken justice system, and in the times this morning the director of public prosecutions saying hundreds more will go to court, is there a worry prisons will become overwhelmed,

as the olympics draws to a close, the english football season is underway. manchester city have won the community shield — after beating manchester united at wembley. it was 1—1 after 90 minutes — and so was decided on penalties. manuel akanji was city's hero — scoring the crucial spotkick — as they won 7—6 in the shootout. well, the premier league begins next friday — but the new season in the football league is very much up and running. leeds scored a dramatic late equaliser to rescue a point against promoted portsmouth in the championship. portsmouth thought they'd won the game when callum lang scored from the spot. his second of the game making it 3—2 in the second minute of injury time. but there was still time for brenden aaronson to get a third for leeds in the 95th minute. wrexham are back in league one for the first time in 19 years and have got off to an impressive start. they beat wycombe 3—2 — and there is already an early contender for goal of the season — this superb effort from jack marriott doubling their lead. it's worth a replay, hollywood owners ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney were
7:46 am
there to witness it. dundee's solid start to the scottish premiership season continued, they beat hearts 3—1 at dens park. scott tiffoney put dundee ahead after 20 minutes. gerard taylor then scored an own goal , followed by a luke mccowan penalty. frankie kent pulled one back for hearts. dundee have played 2 won 2. leeds rhinos kept their superleague play—off bid alive by battering wigan warriors by 30 points to 4 at headingley. rhyse martin scored the last of 4 rhinos tries to condemn wigan to a third super league defeat in five games. the warriors would have gone back to the top of table with a victory. almost like a sad day in a way because the olympics coming to an end. i because the olympics coming to an end. «e ., , ., , ., because the olympics coming to an end. «e ., , ., ., end. i know it is only two weeks of fantastic action _ end. i know it is only two weeks of fantastic action but _ end. i know it is only two weeks of fantastic action but you _ end. i know it is only two weeks of fantastic action but you get - end. i know it is only two weeks of fantastic action but you get into i end. i know it is only two weeks of fantastic action but you get into it | fantastic action but you get into it and you get invested. you saw there

7:48 am
heat! very different story for the closing ceremony. another gorgeous day for the closing ceremony! this is a gorgeous picture in wales and a lot of gorgeous sunshine, but heat, humidity and sunshine tonight and tomorrow. today, looks like it will be dry during the daylight hours, lots of sunshine, warm and humid particularly in southern and eastern england but a slow start towards the south coast because we have sea fog around and that could linger particularly areas of devon, but they should break up in the afternoon. we should see the south—easterly breeze pickup and mist and low cloud to begin with across the south. they should also break up and a lot of sunshine around. temperatures widely in the low 20s but across parts of berkshire and london it could get up to 30 celsius, caller then yesterday
7:49 am
for some of the north sea facing coast because of the south—easterly wind dragging all the warm air. it will be a hot night tonight. warm, sticky and uncomfortable across the southeast of england, but thunderstorms attract their way into northern ireland and western scotland and the could be some torrential downpours and had to be, thundery showers at times. towards the south, we may not drop below 20 celsius which will make out what we term a tropical night. getting into monday, still the risk of thunderstorms. anyway from north of england as we head through the morning but it should be an improving picture through the afternoon with a lot of sunshine developing and don't rule out a few showers just about anywhere but try southern and eastern areas and central england where we could get up central england where we could get up to 34 celsius, most likely across
7:50 am
london and threw up two parts of cambridge as well. a hot, sticky feeling day and warm overnight monday into tuesday. the fresh air starts to build through so a drop in temperature up towards the north and west and towards the eastern areas as well on tuesday and there will be outbreaks of rain pushing eastwards. it does look dry on tuesday and temperatures peaking up to high 20s but caller further north and west, it does stay unsettled but sunshine at times as we head through next week. temperatures a lot lower though. it was a great day for british athletics yesterday, with three more bronzes giving the track and field team their biggest olympic medal haul in 40 years. but success starts at the grassroots, which is why hundreds of people in leeds have rolled up their sleeves to restore
