6:00 am
for so long, we thought that it would end in tragedy. but i thought the tragedy would be him taking his own life and it was infinitely worse than that. fireworks, music and hollywood stunts. athletes celebrate as tom cruise brings to a close the paris olympics in a spectacular ceremony. from all of us watching at home, congratulations to team gb. the princess and prince of wales are among those to congratulate team gb who took home 65 medals. for team gb, one more medal than tokyo. they come cartwheeling home with 65 in total after a bronze for emily in paris but the number of golds was the lowest since athens 200a. thousands of people in greece have been told to evacuate their homes because of wildfires near athens.
6:01 am
counting the cost of pothole damage. average repairs rise to nearly £500. could more of us be claiming compensation from the council? i take a look. good morning. temperatures today could reach 35 celsius in parts of the south—east quarter of the country, making it the hottest day of this year so far but further north we have got some heavy thundery downpours. i will have all of the details shortly. it's monday the 12th of august. a doctor who treated valdo calocane three years before he fatally stabbed ian coates, barnaby webber and grace o'malley kumar in nottingham warned his mental illness was so severe he could "end up killing someone", according to medical records seen by the bbc. in their first interview, calocane�*s mother and brother told bbc panorama this was one of a series of missed opportunities over three years that could have prevented the killings.
6:02 am
navtej johal has this report. for so long we thought that it would end in tragedy. but i thought the tragedy would be him taking his own life and it was, like, infinitely worse than that. the family of valdo calocane are talking publicly for the first time. in 2023, he fatally stabbed students barnaby webber and grace 0'malley—kumar, and school caretaker ian coates. he also seriously injured three others by driving into them. valdo calocane was convicted of manslaughter for the killings and is detained in a secure hospital. the families of his victims believe that although he was mentally ill, he knew what he was doing and should have been convicted of murder and sent to prison. calocane had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2020. we've got a bunch of the medical records from valdo�*s time in the care of nottinghamshire health trust. the family only received these records after he was sentenced for the killings and have shared them with bbc panorama. they revealed that three years
6:03 am
before the nottingham attacks, a psychiatrist during a ward round had expressed serious concerns. this entry is from the second admission into hospital. the second time he's been sectioned? the second time he's been sectioned. and yeah, there's an injury here about a meeting and yeah, there's an entry here about a meeting that the doctor has, a chat he has with my brother. and, you know, my brother is so psychotic that the doctor notes that there seems to be no insight or remorse. and the danger will be that the next time this will happen again, and perhaps valdo will end up killing someone. a doctor wrote nearly three years before the nottingham attacks that valdo could end up killing someone? mm. we know valdo's care wasn't up to standard, but reading this note isjust beyond anything. you think, this could have been avoided, you could have done something. richard taylor is a forensic psychiatrist. he didn't treat calocane, but has been an expert witness in more than 150 court cases.
6:04 am
have you ever seen it written down in medical notes? that the patient could potentially go on to kill someone? i...i can't recall of a case where i've seen that written down in the medical records. if it's that unusual and potentially that serious, what would you expect to happen? if a psychiatrist is committing themselves to a potential risk of homicide, then i think that's something that i would expect to be taken seriously. valdo calocane was detained under the mental health act four times in two years, each time following a violent incident, but never for longer than seven weeks. i don't think it's fair to say that he was ever treated. i don't think he was ever really treated. he was sort of managed, like so he had interventions, but with regards to a proper, i guess, treatment plan, i'm not sure that we ever saw that. brian dow is deputy chief executive of rethink mental illness, a charity that campaigns for people
6:05 am
severely affected by mental illness. i think looking back it was a question of when, not if, and unless we both invest and change the model of health care that we have so that you don't allow these crises to build up and build up, then there's the inevitable risk that this will happen again. nottinghamshire health care nhs trust says it's committed to preventing such a tragedy reoccurring. that work continues to improve the safety and quality of services for patients, and to give its full support to learn from the events ofjune last year. the care quality commission is due to publish a report into valdo calocane�*s care tomorrow. calocane�*s family say the missed opportunities in his care are the product of a system which they say needs urgent reform. navteonhal, bbc news. and you can watch panorama, the nottingham attacks: a search for answers on bbc one and bbc

6:10 am
has slipped somewhat. they finished with 14 has slipped somewhat. they finished with 1a gold medals compared to 22 in tokyo, finishing seventh in the table. their lowest position since athens 20 0a. that only tells half of the story. and with britain having managed a podium finish every single day of the games in a wide range of sports, on reflection team gb will regard these paris games as a big success. as for the hosts, the hosts have delivered eight ground—breaking games right from the start and that opening ceremony, they have had a game that has had sustainability and gender parity at its core, it has taken place against some incredible landmarks and showcased the city of paris but there have been issues as well with water quality in the river seine causing quite a bit of disruption. but overall on reflection, when you consider the sterile atmosphere of tokyo, paris brought the fun and energy back into the olympics and
6:11 am

they stop to take it in. goodness me! the medals, the reward for the work beneath the surface. but years of preparation can come down to the last strides. the line wouldn't come. it needed to come quicker for matt hudson—smith. there were times at these games when british athletes wanted more. stunned, shocked! the olympic champion is from the usa. it's reflected in a table that shows 1a golds — gb�*s lowest haul since the athens games. but overall the picture is still on the recent trend. 65 medals is one more than they won in tokyo, and the same as london 2012. in a statement, king charles addressed the british athletes, saying... "your achievements were forged from that invaluable combination of raw talent, true grit, and hard toil over many years, burnished these past weeks by sportsmanship and team spirit."
6:22 am

to projects in croydon, hoxton, ilford, neasden, and lewisham. the aim is to spruce up the high streets, create new green spaces, and improve climate resilience. the elusive street artist banksy has confirmed he was behind the new design of swimming piranhas which has been spray—painted on to a glass—walled police sentry box on ludgate hill. now, the city of london corporation says it's looking to try and preserve the artwork. youth clubs are a place for young people to find a sense of community and have fun over the summer holidays. but since 2011, more than half of the local authority youth clubs in england have closed their doors. 0ne youth organisation called mentivity is on a mission to change this starting on the aylesbury estate in walworth. we on the aylesbury estate in walworth. need to makt them

6:27 am
a little bit cooler from tomorrow. there's a very weak weather frontjust trying to push across us today, as well — there's almost nothing on it but a do mention it because, although the story predominantly today is that it's dry and it's sunny, we will see just a strip of cloud moving across us this afternoon with the potential for the odd stray shower. but, as i say, predominantly it is about the sunshine, and it will be hot — most of us seeing temperatures in the low 30s celsius. around the m25 corridor, could get even higher than that — 34 or 35 — mid—90s in fahrenheit. 0vernight tonight, there's a little system just working its way in from the south. looks like it has the potential to just clip us to the east, with the odd stray thundery shower. mostly, though, it's dry and fairly clear overnight. and it is warm, but not as warm as the nightjust gone — from tomorrow, it starts to turn cooler and fresher. that's it — i'm back in half an hour — now back tojon and sally.

6:35 am
in a different way going forward. the final two medals won by team gb at the paris games yesterday were both bronze. there was another for track cyclist emma finucane — this time in the individual sprint after winning the same colour in the keirin. she also claimed an historic team—sprint gold. finucane is the first british female to win a hat—trick of medals at a single olympics in 60 years. i couldn't have painted a better week for me, and i know the expectation of me coming in was, like, people speak about gold medals, but these three medals mean everything to me, and ijust can't believe i got to get up on that podium again, and... yeah, coming into this last day, i was in a pretty tough place, but i mentally got myself into a better place and ijust gave everything on the track and i'm just really proud that, yeah, i finished it off. the very last medal of the games went to emily campbell, who put in a personal best performance to claim bronze in the 81 kilogram weightlifting category. this was the lift that made sure of her medal — 162 kilograms are on that bar. she needed another 12 to go up
6:36 am
a place on the podium to match her silverfrom tokyo but couldn't quite manager it. but couldn't quite manage it. it's only a ninth 0lympic weightlifting medal britain has ever won — and she remains the only woman to do it. i don't normally do this with medallists, but can you turn around for us? face away from us. there you go. how long did that take? it took a good, like, three hours yesterday. so my good friend lisa farrall, who's a celebrity stylist, came over and did it especially for me and then we attached the rings today, so it was a nice little just surprise element. i mean, you've — allthe media's been talking about is my hair in the build—up to this, so i had to come out with a show—stopper. it's two wins out of two for defending champions celtic in the scottish premiership. they eased past hibernian, winning 2—0 at easter road. callum mcgregor — who announced his retirement from international football with scotland last week — got the second with an absolute stunner. they're top of the table along with aberdeen, who have also won both their games so far. wayne rooney says if any of his plymouth argyle players perform again like they did
6:37 am
against sheffield wednesday they'll not play for the club again. that's after his first game in charge of the championship side saw them lose 4—0 at hillsborough with this own goal summing up the hapless nature of their performance. not too much for rooney's wife coleen and rooneyjr to cheer about as they watched on. rooney won just two of his 15 games during his spell in charge of birmingham city last year, and will hope things pan out better at plymouth. former us open champion graeme mcdowell has been suspended for one liv golf tournament after violating the tour�*s anti—doping policy. the northern irishman has also been fined nearly £100,000 after using a decongestant which contains a banned substance, and will miss this week's event in west virginia. and england will be concerned over the fitness of captain ben stokes after he limped off during a match in the hundred. there are just nine nine days to go before the first test against sri lanka, and after running a quick single for northern superchargers stokes

6:39 am
grind. good morning. it can cost a lot of money to get your car fixed because of poorly maintained roads. the rac surveys drivers every year and for the very first time the number one top concern is — you've guessed it — potholes, or the poor state of the roads. these worries even coming way above high insurance or petrol costs. more than a quarter of drivers said a pothole damaged their car last year. we're talking anything from a burst tyre, a damaged wheel, to broken suspension. and the damage is not cheap to fix. this report showed average repair costs at around £460. in theory, you can claim compensation from your local council to cover those costs. but as our transport correspondent katy austin reports, it's not always that easy. from northern scotland to salisbury... from lancashire to kent.
6:40 am
pictures like these, filmed by bbc reporters around the country, show the extent of britain's pothole problem. it may not come as a surprise, then, that when the rac asked motorists about their top concerns this year, the state of the roads surfaced as number one. 75% of drivers said that they think their local roads have got worse in the last year. rural roads tend to be worse than urban roads. so this is the car? yes, this is my wife's car. and this is the wheel that struck the pothole, the tyre that was split in the incident, and then the alloy wheel was dented. and that's not something that could be driven on. no, unfortunately, after that, the car needed to be repaired and couldn't be driven. richard's wife was driving near cirencester in may last year when she hit that pothole. and then there's the pothole right there. 0ncoming land rover, and there's no option but to follow the line that she's following. to avoid the incident hitting his family in the wallet,
6:41 am
richard claimed £189 for the damage from gloucestershire county council. they turned it down, which had persisted, and lawyers got involved. they turned it down, richard persisted, and lawyers got involved. and it's been a very complicated and protracted process. but it was all resolved last week when they conceded that they should pay the claim. that's more than a year later. well over a year, yeah. the council apologised for the distress caused, adding that it defends claims robustly and fairly to protect the public purse. a spokesperson said new information had led to the case being settled. different local authorities have their own claims processes — an insurance price comparison website told us many people end up paying for damage out of their own pocket because it's easier. what they should do is go to the council. councils are responsible for maintaining roads, therefore they're also responsible for paying out any claims for damage to your vehicle. you could also claim on your insurance, but be wary — that could mean that obviously you've got a claim on your policy
6:42 am
and you see your insurance premiums go up for at least the next couple of years. the previous government promised to put £8.3 billion into repairing local roads in england over the coming decade. in a statement, the department for transport told us the new government was committed to tackling the poor state of the roads, and would support local authorities to fix up to one million more potholes a year. but it didn't say how much it would spend. with the finances of local councils stretched, they argue long—term funding certainty is needed to help prevent potholes in the first place. katy austin, bbc news. we spoke to the local government association, which represents local councils. they're the ones who are responsible for fixing the roads. it told us councils were facing a massive £16.3 billion backlog of repairs. limited resources and rising costs meaning local authorities are struggling to keep on top of repairs. £150 million extra has been given
6:43 am
to councils in england for this year and next year already. but it's unclear how much the new government will put in after that. do get in touch with us on this. send us a picture of your pothole damage. you can do so in the usual ways — and please don't forget to leave us your name so we can give you a mention. lets us know if you have contacted your local authority and managed to get compensation. we have had a very early e—mailfrom bob get compensation. we have had a very early e—mail from bob and anne who hit a pothole and broke a spring in december. they contacted the local county council with pictures straightaway but the council said because that road had been checked a few months prior and was fine at that time, that their evidence is a mismatch. you can see although theoretically you can claim, but it gets convoluted and more often than not people just give up.— not people 'ust give up. lynne has been in not peoplejust give up. lynne has been in touch _ not peoplejust give up. lynne has been in touch and _ not peoplejust give up. lynne has been in touch and says _ not peoplejust give up. lynne has been in touch and says it - not peoplejust give up. lynne has been in touch and says it is - not peoplejust give up. lynne has been in touch and says it is an - not people just give up. lynne has| been in touch and says it is an even more difficult issue to try to claim if you have been injured. 0ne more difficult issue to try to claim if you have been injured. one thing for your vehicle but for the person

it is almost impossible. she broke her leg due to a pothole on a lovely august day, going back from lunch, then the whole was deemed not deep enough she says, according to the council, and went through various other bits but never got any money from it. she says it is impossible. it is always a big decision whether to claim because she will see your premium go up so you can see why people said forking out and forgetting about it... people said forking out and forgetting about it. . .- people said forking out and forgetting about it... then it becomes _ forgetting about it... then it becomes difficult _ forgetting about it... then it becomes difficult and - forgetting about it... then it becomes difficult and it - forgetting about it... then it becomes difficult and it is i forgetting about it... then it| becomes difficult and it is too forgetting about it... then it i becomes difficult and it is too easy to give _ becomes difficult and it is too easy to give up — becomes difficult and it is too easy to give up. thank you. | becomes difficult and it is too easy to give up. thank you. i am becomes difficult and it is too easy to give up. thank you.— becomes difficult and it is too easy to give up. thank you. i am sure we will have many _ to give up. thank you. i am sure we will have many more _ to give up. thank you. i am sure we will have many more are. _ to give up. thank you. i am sure we will have many more are. as - to give up. thank you. i am sure we will have many more are. as you i will have many more are. as you seak i will have many more are. as you speak i can _ will have many more are. as you speak i can see _ will have many more are. as you speak i can see the _ will have many more are. as you speak i can see the inbox - will have many more are. as you speak i can see the inbox filling l speak i can see the inbox filling up. we will see you later. let's move on from potholes for a moment — let's move on from potholes for a moment is— let's move on from potholes for a moment. is it going to be driving whether— moment. is it going to be driving whether today? we have been talking a lot about _ whether today? we have been talking a lot about the weather getting a bit warmer and carol mentioned there might— bit warmer and carol mentioned there might be _ bit warmer and carol mentioned there might be thunder on the way.- might be thunder on the way. humid. but is this might be thunder on the way. humid. itut is this may _ might be thunder on the way. humid. but is this may be _ might be thunder on the way. humid. but is this may be finally _ might be thunder on the way. humid. but is this may be finally summer, i but is this may be finally summer, carol? _ for some, yes but it won't last or at least the high temperatures are
6:45 am
not going to last. everything you said is true. we have a mismatch of whether this morning. some of us are starting off on a warm and humid note. these are the temperatures if you are just stepping out, note. these are the temperatures if you arejust stepping out, so mid wales, already 23 degrees. humid start for some but we also have thunderstorms, especially across the northern half of the country through today. we have been watching them through the night across northern ireland, western scotland, through the irish sea, a couple clipping wales, and through the morning this is all going to be drifting steadily eastwards, so eventually we will see an improvement, initially coming into northern ireland. you can see where we have the yellows and greens, we are looking at heavy downpours there. not all of us will see this, but the areas most likely are northern ireland, northern england and scotland, and if you catch one you will know all about
6:46 am
it. but it clears away and there most of us will have a sunny afternoon. an outside chance you will catch an afternoon thunderstorm for example in parts of yorkshire and lincolnshire. the shower in the midlands to the south—east, but they will be the exception rather than the real. it will also be pretty windy across the north west today. these are our temperatures. fresher conditions in the north and west but as we move across the south—eastern quarter of the country here it will be hot and it will be humid. we could see 35 degrees somewhere in the south—eastern corner. that will make it the hottest day of this year so far. as you go through the evening and overnight, a lot of clear skies. evening and overnight, a lot of clearskies. if evening and overnight, a lot of clear skies. if you are hoping to see the meteor shower. we have a weather front coming in from the is, again, some strengthening winds in the west mug is still in the south—east but fresher conditions for the rest of the country. this is the weather front coming our way tomorrow. it will bring its showery rain and pushed steadily southwards
6:47 am
and eastwards. we start off with a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine, but i will weather front out towards the west continues to drift eastwards, weakening all the time. not getting into the fire south—east. 0n the other side of it we see a return to sunshine and showers, but pretty windy across parts of western scotland and also northern ireland. it will still be quite hot and humid across the south—eastern quarter once again. temperatures widely into the mid to high 20s, but again we are looking at fresher conditions out towards the north and also the west. we start off on wednesday with this weak weather front draped in the south—east, really weak, eventually moves away. it will bring in some cloud, some patchy rain here and there. then a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine. but by the end of the day we will start to see the clouds thicken up out towards the west, heralding the arrival of our next weather front. we are looking at light winds on wednesday, as well. 20 degrees in glasgow, 24 in
6:48 am
london. you can see the temperatures are slipping a little bit. as we move through the rest of the week and towards the weekend, it is fairly settled but they will still be some rain and a few showers around, as well. have i been getting too over excited about this being summer? i? foretell. have i been getting too over excited about this being summer? i? well, we are havin: about this being summer? i? well, we are having exceptional _ about this being summer? i? well, we are having exceptional temperatures i are having exceptional temperatures today. we wouldn't normally expect 35 at this stage in august, so not really, it is typical summer weather. it is set for these really, it is typical summer weather. it is set for these hi-h weather. it is set for these high temperatures.— weather. it is set for these high temperatures. thank you. now we know. temperatures. thank you. now we know- typical_ temperatures. thank you. now we know. typical but _ temperatures. thank you. now we know. typical but totally _ temperatures. thank you. now we | know. typical but totally untypical. dozens more people are due to be sentenced this week over the widespread disorder which followed the southport attack. much of that rioting was stoked by social media, with false rumours and disinformation being shared online by users including the owner of x — formerly twitter — elon musk. so why do people do it, and why do lies spread so quickly? sander van der linden is a professor

youth clubs are of course a place for young people to find a sense of community and have fun over the summer holidays. but since 2011, more than half of the local authority clubs in england have closed their doors. 0ne youth organisation called mentivity is on a mission to change this starting on the aylesbury estate in walworth. we need to make sure that we hold them to account, and ensure that young people are being invested in, because we are expecting young people to flourish without investment, it doesn't make sense. and we've got to showcase the importance of really nurturing this present and next generation of young people. large sections of the piccadilly line will close on saturday to allow for track and platform upgrades ahead of a new fleet of trains arriving. the work will be carried out over weekends until 1st september. rail replacement bus services will be in place between wood green and cockfosters and between rayners lane and uxbridge.
6:58 am
tfl is advising people to plan theirjourney ahead of time. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a generally good service this morning, apart from on the bakerloo line which has severe delays. time for the weather forecast now, here's sara thornton. morning to you. we've seen some very warm air move in from the south through this weekend. yesterday we had temperatures in the high 20s celsius. it's been a warm and a muggy night, as well. and today, hotter still — although it is the peak of the heat today, likely to be the warmest day of the year so far, slowly turning a little bit cooler from tomorrow. there's a very weak weather frontjust trying to push across us today, as well — there's almost nothing on it but i do mention it because, although the story predominantly today is that it's dry and it's sunny, we will see just a strip of cloud moving across us this afternoon with the potential for the odd stray shower. but, as i say, predominantly it is about the sunshine, and it will be hot — most of us seeing temperatures in the low 30s celsius. around the m25 corridor, could get even higher than that — 34 or 35 — mid—90s in fahrenheit.
6:59 am
0vernight tonight, there's a little system just working its way in from the south. looks like it has the potential to just clip us to the east, with the odd stray thundery shower. mostly, though, it's dry and fairly clear overnight. and it is warm, but not as warm as the nightjust gone — from tomorrow, it starts to turn cooler and fresher. that's it from me for now, there's plenty more on our website including the story about a dog with terminal cancer that's been nominated for a bbc award. i'll be back in half an hour, have a good morning.
7:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. 0ur headlines today. a bbc investigation into the nottingham attacks in which three people died is told of the missed opportunities to stop the killer. medical records reveal a doctor warned three years before the stabbings, valdo calocane's mental illness was so severe he could "end up killing someone". speaking for the first time, his family say the system failed. for so long, we thought that it would end in tragedy. but i thought the tragedy would be him taking his own life and it was infinitely worse than that.
7:01 am
fireworks, music and hollywood stunts. athletes celebrate as tom cruise brings to a close the paris 0lympics in a spectacular ceremony. from all of us watching at home, congratulations to team gb. the princess and prince of wales are among those to congratulate team gb who brought home 65 medals. good morning. that total is one more than tokyo. three of the 65 came courtesy of emma finucane, the first british woman to do that in 60 years, adding another bronze to her tally. temperatures forecast to reach 34 35 in the south—east today, making it the warmest day of the year so far but further north we have heavy thundery downpours. all of the details shortly.
7:02 am
it's monday the 12th of august. a doctor who treated valdo calocane three years before he fatally stabbed ian coates, barnaby webber and grace 0'malley—kumar in nottingham warned his mental illness was so severe he could "end up killing someone", according to medical records seen by the bbc. in their first interview, calocane's mother and brother told bbc panorama this was one of a series of missed opportunities over three years that could have prevented the killings. navtej johal has this report. for so long we thought that it would end in tragedy. but i thought the tragedy would be him taking his own life and it was, like, infinitely worse than that. the family of valdo calocane are talking publicly for the first time. in 2023, he fatally stabbed students barnaby webber and grace 0'malley—kumar, and school caretaker ian coates. he also seriously injured three others by driving into them. valdo calocane was convicted
7:03 am
of manslaughter for the killings and is detained in a secure hospital. the families of his victims believe that although he was mentally ill, he knew what he was doing and should have been convicted of murder and sent to prison. calocane had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2020. we've got a bunch of the medical records from valdo's time in the care of nottinghamshire health trust. the family only received these records after he was sentenced for the killings and have shared them with bbc panorama. they revealed that three years before the nottingham attacks, a psychiatrist during a ward round had expressed serious concerns. this entry is from the second admission into hospital. the second time he's been sectioned? the second time he's been sectioned. and yeah, there's an entry here about a meeting that the doctor has, a chat he has with my brother. and, you know, my brother is so psychotic that the doctor notes that there seems to be no insight or remorse. and the danger will be that the next time this will happen again,
7:04 am
and perhaps valdo will end up killing someone. a doctor wrote nearly three years before the nottingham attacks that valdo could end up killing someone? mm. we know valdo's care wasn't up to standard, but reading this note isjust beyond anything. you think, this could have been avoided, you could have done something. richard taylor is a forensic psychiatrist. he didn't treat calocane, but has been an expert witness in more than 150 court cases. have you ever seen it written down in medical notes? that the patient could potentially go on to kill someone? i...i can't recall of a case where i've seen that written down in the medical records. if it's that unusual and potentially that serious, what would you expect to happen? if a psychiatrist is committing themselves to a potential risk of homicide, then i think that's something that i would expect to be taken seriously. valdo calocane was detained under the mental health act
7:05 am
four times in two years, each time following a violent incident, but never for longer than seven weeks. i don't think it's fair to say that he was ever treated. i don't think he was ever really treated. he was sort of managed, like so he had interventions, but with regards to a proper, i guess, treatment plan, i'm not sure that we ever saw that. brian dow is deputy chief executive of rethink mental illness, a charity that campaigns for people severely affected by mental illness. i think looking back it was a question of when, not if, and unless we both invest and change the model of health care that we have so that you don't allow these crises to build up and build up, then there's the inevitable risk that this will happen again. nottinghamshire health care nhs trust says it's committed to preventing such a tragedy reoccurring. that work continues to improve the safety and quality of services for patients,
7:06 am
and to give its full support to learn from the events ofjune last year. the care quality commission is due to publish a report into valdo calocane's care tomorrow. calocane's family say the missed opportunities in his care are the product of a system which they say needs urgent reform. navtejjohal, bbc news. navtej will join navtej willjoin as a little bit later to talk about his programme. and you can watch panorama, the nottingham attacks: a search for answers on bbc one and bbc iplayer at 8pm tonight sally ca n sally can tell us what else we need to know this morning. the paris 0lympics drew to a close last night with a ceremony featuring music, dance and a rather dramatic appearance by tom cruise. it took place in the stade de france following 16 days of intense competition. 0ur sports editor dan roan was there.

7:09 am
before living up to his reputation for performing his own stunts. the hollywood star making a memorable cameo to start the journey of the olympic flag to la before performances by the red hot chili peppers in california and a fixture at the paris games, rapper snoop dogg. # park it like it's hot. with the ceremony drawing to a conclusion and the torch now safely delivered to the stadium, all that was left was for it to be extinguished, formally marking the end of these games. paris's grand party was over, but the moments and the memories it created will live on. dan roan, bbc news, paris. 0ur sports correspondent katie gornall is in the french capital. morning, katie. 0bviously spectacular closing ceremony there, how did france do hosting this games, and how did team gb do in

7:11 am
think team gb will come to regard this game is a real success. in terms of the hosts, paris, they have delivered a really ambitious and ground—breaking games, we saw that right from the start. there has been some incredible venues and iconic settings, there has been a focus on sustainability, and gender parity, but there have been issues as well. river quality of the rivers and has been an issue which has dogged the game. if you consider where the olympics were of the tokyo and that 0lympics were of the tokyo and that sterile atmosphere, paris has injected a lot of energy and fun into the inner big movement. just two weeks now until the start of the paralympics when paris will do it all over again.— paralympics when paris will do it all over again. indeed, thank you, katie. residents of northern ukraine are reporting a flow of military vehicles through the sumy area, heading towards the russian region of kursk. moscow says ukrainian forces have been seen 20 miles inside russia. troops have taken control of some settlements near the border. thousands of people have been evacuated from the area, with fresh evacuations ordered by officials this morning.

7:17 am
there'd be automatic payments for those who'd been told to boil their water, or when water companies had failed to conduct meter readings. if approved, the plans would also double payments for those who'd dealt with things like missed appointments or flooding from sewers. water uk, which represents water companies across the country, said it shared the government's ambition to reform an out—of—date system, and that it was focused on its plans to secure water supplies and end sewage in rivers. the plans will go through an eight—week consultation period, starting today. frances read, bbc news. we're joined now by andrew white, a senior leader in social policty at the consumer council for water. good morning. so, what do you think, the government have got a plan, is it good enough for consumers? brute the government have got a plan, is it good enough for consumers? we are really delighted — it good enough for consumers? we are really delighted because _ it good enough for consumers? we are really delighted because it's _ it good enough for consumers? we are really delighted because it's really i really delighted because it's really important that customers have this full of payments, standards that

place, this will boost and enhance them significantly, in some cases doubling or more than doubling. it will also bring in new standards for things that have not been covered before. but none of this is taking over from the water company responsibilities, it's really important that they own their responsibilities. this is about having a baseline standard across all countries in england —— companies in england and wales, but that does not prevent water companies giving their customers fair treatment when things go wrong. and the finding of water companies is not a new thing, —— and finds the water companies, so what difference will compensation to customers make? not only does it mean that customers can rely on that, but it provides an incentive for what companies to get things right the first time. they know that they will have to pay out these payments, and potentially in high quantities, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, if they don't get things right. so it's really important that these standards are
7:20 am
there to hold companies to account. i suppose the worry might be that if the water company is having to pay out loads of money in compensation and finds, that's less money for changes to the system to lead to improvements to. the changes to the system to lead to improvements to.— changes to the system to lead to improvements to. the industry is re . ulated improvements to. the industry is regulated by _ improvements to. the industry is regulated by ofwat, _ improvements to. the industry is regulated by ofwat, that - improvements to. the industry is regulated by ofwat, that makes i improvements to. the industry is i regulated by ofwat, that makes sure regulated by 0fwat, that makes sure that the companies have the money to deliver services. that the companies have the money to deliverservices. if that the companies have the money to deliver services. if they don't do that well, the risk is with shareholders and owners not the customers so it is important that the responsibility lies with them. so, what else should be looked at? another area we have talked about, we do need to make improvements and we do need to make improvements and we are likely to see bills rise further, some customers will struggle. all water companies have social tariffs in place to give lower bills to those who need it but we would like to see a single tariff across all water companies so it is
7:21 am

7:22 am
interests, and making sure standards are rising across the sector. andrew, thank you for coming in, good to talk to you. andrew wright from the consumer council for water. —— andrew white. taking your driving test can be a stressful experience at the best of times, but learners are also facing an average wait of four—and—a—half—months to get a test slot, according to data from the dvsa. those delays are causing some people to pay well over the odds to book their test through brokers on social media, who use special software to grab available slots, a practice which is not illegal. josie hannett has been looking into this. oh, my days! the excitement of finding one available driving test in the whole of kent in the next six months. but it's been snapped up as quick as it's appeared, and that's the reality. and still not a single test available. and i've gone through to december. no, no.
7:23 am
it only goes up to the 5th of january 2025 and still there's nothing. what speed is this road, ava? 30. across england, scotland and wales, learner drivers are facing an average wait time of four and a half months. so a little bit further down the road we're going to turn right. ava lives in tunbridge wells and has recently turned 18. she had to book a test nearly 40 miles away and then wait for a cancellation locally. west wickham, nothing. and it keeps sending me to these places that are just too far away. she checked the dvsa website so much it thought she was a robot and stopped herfrom being able to book a test for months. i think with so many people logging on and booking tests, there has to be some sort of better system because obviously you're going to check every day. if there aren't tests available, you have to check for cancellations. but if you can't even get onto the website, you can't do that. it's like, it's such a catch 22,
7:24 am
it's really, really annoying. ava's finally passed thanks to her instructor teresa, who like many, feels frustrated with the backlog. the dvsa says some learners are booking test before they're ready. nearly 10% are doing so before having a single lesson behind the wheel. i was with a lad this morning. we've both been looking. he can't find anything. he's quite at the beginning of his training. we've only been out four times. i would never normally be suggesting he looked for a test. but we know we must, because we know we could be waiting five or six months, which is about the time it would take to train him in the first place. but we can't even achieve that. i think that the government really need to look into this and look into this extremely carefully. they could arrange it that only certain people can book the test, for instance, driving instructors, who can then honestly make an honest booking for somebody they feel is ready.
7:25 am
the desperation from some learner drivers to try and get hold of a driving test has meant some of them are paying well over the odds to secure them. brokers are block booking tests and selling them on on social media. for example on whatsapp, i'm speaking to a broker now who can get me a test in crawley in just two days' time. i asked him how much is it going to set me back? he said £220. when i asked him why it's so much more than the usual £62 you'd pay on the dvsa website, he said if i rely on them i'll be waiting eight to nine months. many of these resellers use bots. essentially, it's a software that can book a test more quickly on the dvsa website than a human can. the reselling of them for a profit isn't illegal, but the dvsa says it exploits learners. someone who did pay above the odds was nayanar, who now works for the bbc. i ended up speaking to my friend and she gave me the number of the person that she booked her test through on snapchat. he originally said £150. how quick could he get it for you? sometimes a week ahead,
7:26 am
two weeks ahead. ifelt like, you know, i'm a pawn in this game, and it's notjust me. so many of my friends, so many of my peers my age, i'm only 21, have gone through this similar experiences, and i think collectively we've all said it's becoming, you know, a difficult thing to drive. so how long were you in the industry for? for 20 years. 20 years? the impact of covid and the stress of backlogs made richard end his career as a driving instructor after two decades. there were too many things against being able to give the job the way i wanted to give the job, you know, with kindness and understanding, because it's very difficult when somebody is saying, "i need a test," and you're saying, you can't get one for another six months. towards the end, the job ruled me as opposed to, i ruled the job. and that makes me quite sad because you build up relationships with pupils, you try and be honest and try and be as professional as you possibly can. and actually you can't provide the service that they need. the dvsa says the reason
7:27 am
waiting times are so long is because of an increase in demand, but there are plans to continue to recruit more examiners and stop the companies who use bots. meanwhile, the department for transport says tackling the backlog of driving tests is a key priority for the new government, saying dodgy sites reselling expensive tests is unacceptable. josie hannett, bbc news. it makes it even more stressful if you know you are going to have to wait even longer for you know you are going to have to wait even longerfor a you know you are going to have to wait even longer for a retest if you don't pass. wait even longer for a retest if you don't pass-— wait even longer for a retest if you don't ass. , ., ., , ~ don't pass. months and months. an exensive don't pass. months and months. an expensive giving — don't pass. months and months. an expensive giving their— don't pass. months and months. an expensive giving their blessing i don't pass. months and months. an expensive giving their blessing is i expensive giving their blessing is going all that time.— going all that time. good luck if ou have going all that time. good luck if you have a _ going all that time. good luck if you have a test _ going all that time. good luck if you have a test coming - going all that time. good luck if you have a test coming up. i time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm barry caffrey. new projects to improve public spaces across the capital are to receive a share of £12m from the mayor of london.
7:28 am
the funding — from the civic partnership programme — will go to schemes in croydon, hoxton, ilford, neasden, and lewisham. the aim is to spruce up the high streets, create new green spaces, and improve climate resilience. the elusive street artist banksy has confirmed he was behind the new design of swimming piranhas which were spray—painted onto a glass—walled police sentry box on ludgate hill. now, the city of london corporation says it's looking to try to preserve the artwork — much to the delight of some people. i think a lot of people think, "oh, why would you do this at a time i when there's so much strife and trouble and the riots i and everything? " but i sort of think, "well... ..let's have something different i to take our minds away from that!" because everyone's been so affected by it in one way or another. - i've been hopping around once they started coming out on the monday. i missed the...the wolf one because it was taken down,
7:29 am
but it'sjust kind of fun and creates a fun atmosphere, getting everybody out and just enjoying art, really, so... large sections of the piccadilly line will close on saturday to allow for track and platform upgrades ahead of a new fleet of trains arriving. the work will be carried out over weekends until the 1st of september. rail—replacement bus services will be in place between wood green and cockfosters and between rayners lane and uxbridge. tfl is advising people to plan theirjourney ahead of time. let's take a look at the tubes now. time for the weather forecast now — here's sara thornton. morning to you. we've seen some very warm air move in from the south through this weekend. yesterday we had temperatures in the high 20s celsius. it's been a warm and a muggy night, as well. and today, hotter still — although it is the peak of the heat today, likely to be the warmest day of the year so far, slowly turning
7:30 am
a little bit cooler from tomorrow. there's a very weak weather frontjust trying to push across us today, as well — there's almost nothing on it but a do mention it because, although the story predominantly today is that it's dry and it's sunny, we will see just a strip of cloud moving across us this afternoon with the potential for the odd stray shower. but, as i say, predominantly it is about the sunshine, and it will be hot — most of us seeing temperatures in the low 30s celsius. around the m25 corridor, could get even higher than that — 34 or 35 — mid—90s in fahrenheit. 0vernight tonight, there's a little system just working its way in from the south. looks like it has the potential to just clip us to the east, with the odd stray thundery shower. mostly, though, it's dry and fairly clear overnight. and it is warm, but not as warm as the nightjust gone — from tomorrow, it starts to turn cooler and fresher. so a very hot day ahead! that's it from me for now, there's plenty more on our website — including the story about a dog with terminal cancer that's been nominated for a bbc award. i'll be back in half an hour —
7:31 am
now it's back tojon and sally. have a very good morning — bye—bye. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. it's going to be a busy week for the courts as they continue to sentence those who took part in riots and disorder across england and northern ireland, in the wake of the southport attack a fortnight ago. so far, police have arrested more than 779 suspects, charged more than 349 and 118 people have been jailed. on friday, the first prison sentences for encouraging unrest on social media were handed down to three men — tyler kay, richard williams and jordan parlour. 58—year—old derek drummond has been given the longest sentence so far. he's now serving three years for violent disorder
7:32 am
and assaulting a police officer. teenagers as young as 15 have also received sentences — while18—year—oldsjames nelson and bobby shirbon were imprisoned for two months and 20 months respectively. yesterday, the chief constable of merseyside police, serena kennedy, spoke at the funeral of alice da silva aguiar — one of the three girls killed in southport. you have shown great courage in asking me to be here today, to speak, to give a message from you, alice's family, to say that you do not want there to be any more violence on the streets of the united kingdom in the name of your daughter. i am ashamed, and i'm so sorry that you've had to even consider this in the planning of the funeral of your beautiful daughter, alice. and i hope that anyone who has taken

scottish premiership champions celtic have started the new season with two wins out of two. they beat hibs 2—0 at easter road with callum mcgregor — who announced his retirement from international football with scotland last week — getting a stunning second. they're top of the table, along with aberdeen — who have also won both their games so far. wayne rooney's only been in charge of plymouth for one game, but appears to have already delivered an ultimatum to his team — play like you did against sheffield wednesday again, and you're out. play like you did against sheffield wednesday again, and you're out. his first championship match ended in a 4—0 defeat at hillsborough, with this own goal summing up the hapless nature of their performance. rooney claiming something similar next time and they won't play for the club again. not too much for rooney's wife coleen and rooneyjunior to cheer about as they watched on. rooney had a tough time in his lastjob at birmingham, so is hoping things at plymouth pan out a little better. former us open champion graeme mcdowell has been suspended for one liv golf tournament after violating the tour�*s anti—doping policy. the northern irishman has also been fined nearly £100,000 after using a decongestant which contains a banned substance and will miss this week's

7:51 am
her kidnapper drove her 120 miles to a remote farmhouse, where he demanded a $300,000 ransom. i've been through a terrifying experience. i feared for my life second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. while chloe's captors released her after six days, her ordeal was far from over. she faced headlines claiming she had faked her abduction in a publicity stunt, and even after lukasz herba was found guilty of kidnapping, and jailed for almost 17 years, people still called her a liar. i think it's ridiculous that people still doubt, after the court has convicted him. i think the media has brainwashed people so much into believing that i was lying to try and make the public hate that person even more. because that's, at the end of the day, what will get the views. years later, chloe says she still faces online abuse from people who refuse to believe her story. yasmin rufo, bbc news. chloe joins us now.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. 0ur headlines today. a bbc investigation into the nottingham attacks in which three people died is told of the missed opportunities to stop the killer. medical records reveal a doctor warned three years before the stabbings, valdo calocane's mental illness was so severe he could "end up killing someone". speaking for the first time, his family say the system failed. for so long, we thought that it would end in tragedy. but i thought the tragedy would be him taking his own life and it was infinitely worse than that.
8:00 am
fireworks, music and hollywood stunts. athletes celebrate as tom cruise brings to a close the paris olympics in a spectacular ceremony. from all of us watching at home, congratulations to team gb. the princess and prince of wales are among those to congratulate team gb who brought home 65 medals. good morning. that total is one more than tokyo. but the 14 golds won by team gb represent the fewest since 2004, something the british olympic association say they'll assess once everyone's calmed down after paris. counting the cost of pothole damage. average repairs rise to nearly £500. could more of us be claiming compensation from the council? we hear your stories. and he's evergreen, will young joins us to talk about the inspiration for his new album.
8:01 am
good morning. temperatures in the south—east could reach a hot and humid 35 celsius making it the hottest day of the year so far but we have some heavy and thundery downpours in the north. all of the details shortly. it's monday the 12th of august. our main story. a doctor who treated valdo calocane three years before he fatally stabbed ian coates, barnaby webber and grace 0'malley—kumar in nottingham warned his mental illness was so severe he could "end up killing someone", according to medical records seen by the bbc. in their first interview, calocane's mother and brother told bbc panorama this was one of a series of missed opportunities over three years that could have prevented the killings. navtej johal has this report. for so long we thought that it would end in tragedy. but i thought the tragedy would be him taking his own life and it was,
8:02 am
like, infinitely worse than that. the family of valdo calocane are talking publicly for the first time. in 2023, he fatally stabbed students barnaby webber and grace 0'malley—kumar, and school caretaker ian coates. he also seriously injured three others by driving into them. valdo calocane was convicted of manslaughter for the killings and is detained in a secure hospital. the families of his victims believe that although he was mentally ill, he knew what he was doing and should have been convicted of murder and sent to prison. calocane had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2020. we've got a bunch of the medical records from valdo's time in the care of nottinghamshire health trust. the family only received these records after he was sentenced for the killings and have shared them with bbc panorama. they revealed that three years before the nottingham attacks, a psychiatrist during a ward round had expressed serious concerns. this entry is from the second admission into hospital. the second time he's been sectioned?
8:03 am
the second time he's been sectioned. and yeah, there's an entry here about a meeting that the doctor has, a chat he has with my brother. and, you know, my brother is so psychotic that the doctor notes that there seems to be no insight or remorse. and the danger will be that the next time this will happen again, and perhaps valdo will end up killing someone. a doctor wrote nearly three years before the nottingham attacks that valdo could end up killing someone? mm. we know valdo's care wasn't up to standard, but reading this note isjust beyond anything. you think, this could have been avoided, you could have done something. richard taylor is a forensic psychiatrist. he didn't treat calocane, but has been an expert witness in more than 150 court cases. have you ever seen it written down in medical notes? that the patient could potentially go on to kill someone? i...i can't recall of a case where i've seen that written down in the medical records.
8:04 am
if it's that unusual and potentially that serious, what would you expect to happen? if a psychiatrist is committing themselves to a potential risk of homicide, then i think that's something that i would expect to be taken seriously. valdo calocane was detained under the mental health act four times in two years, each time following a violent incident, but never for longer than seven weeks. i don't think it's fair to say that he was ever treated. i don't think he was ever really treated. he was sort of managed, like so he had interventions, but with regards to a proper, i guess, treatment plan, i'm not sure that we ever saw that. brian dow is deputy chief executive of rethink mental illness, a charity that campaigns for people severely affected by mental illness. i think looking back it was a question of when, not if, and unless we both invest and change the model of health care
8:05 am
that we have so that you don't allow these crises to build up and build up, then there's the inevitable risk that this will happen again. nottinghamshire health care nhs trust says it's committed to preventing such a tragedy reoccurring. that work continues to improve the safety and quality of services for patients, and to give its full support to learn from the events ofjune last year. the care quality commission is due to publish a report into valdo calocane's care tomorrow. calocane's family say the missed opportunities in his care are the product of a system which they say needs urgent reform. navtejjohal, bbc news. navtej will be joining us navtej will bejoining us here on the sofa in a few minutes to talk more about how that programme was made and you can watch it,. and you can watch panorama, the nottingham attacks: a search for answers on bbc one and bbc iplayer at 8pm tonight. right now it's six minutes past eight and sally has more of the

8:08 am
with that, it was time for paris to hand over to the hosts of the next summer games. the olympic flag ceremoniously transferred to the mayor of los angeles, and then a chance for the world to get a sense of what the city would offer. actor tom cruise then appearing, before living up to his reputation for performing his own stunts. the hollywood star making a memorable cameo to start the journey of the olympic flag to la before performances by the red hot chili peppers in california and a fixture at the paris games, rapper snoop dogg. # park it like it's hot. with the ceremony drawing to a conclusion and the torch now safely delivered to the stadium, all that was left was for it to be extinguished, formally marking the end of these games. paris's grand party was over, but the moments and the memories it created will live on. dan roan, bbc news, paris.

residents of northern ukraine are reporting a flow of military vehicles through the sumy area, heading towards the russian region of kursk. moscow has acknowledged its personnel have encountered ukrainian forces 20 miles inside russia, with fighting close to the town of sudzha. thousands of people have been evacuated from the area. in a moment we'll speak to our russia editor steve rosenberg in moscow. first let's go to our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse, who's in the sumy region. morning, james. so, what is ukraine aiming to achieve with this incursion?— aiming to achieve with this incursion? a, , incursion? morning, sally. until now, if incursion? morning, sally. until now. if you _ incursion? morning, sally. until now, if you imagine _ incursion? morning, sally. until now, if you imagine the - incursion? morning, sally. until now, if you imagine the border| now, if you imagine the border between ukraine and russia and the front line of ukrainian territory, it's effectively been a stage which russia has been conducting, it has been using its biggerforces in concentrated areas and in the eyes
8:10 am
of ukraine it has been having to react. these things are not conducive to winning the war in the long run. we have seen several military vehicles with a triangle logo on them suggesting they are all part of the same operation, and morale, dare i say, is higher than it has been some time. not to the extent to do when we sought territory liberated in 2022 much of the first time ukraine has shaken things up, they are advancing north—west across the border, there were evacuations announced in a neighbouring region. at the moment russia is diverting forces and iugghng russia is diverting forces and juggling to contain better trained ukrainian troops but this is a huge gamble. because while the ukrainian —— the russian forces are being shifted around on the front lines in the east they are still advancing. if this gamble doesn't come off and these elite soldiers are not able to keep hold of this russian territory, which is a tall order, that could
8:11 am
well be catastrophic for ukraine's war effort elsewhere on the front line. clearly president zelenskiy politically felt that something had to change, to change the momentum in the war. it has a surprise russia, it's surprised some corners of western allies, but they are clearly 0k western allies, but they are clearly ok with this because they feel it falls within ukraine's right to defend itself. these are high—stakes so it could be a pivotal moment in russia's war in ukraine for the first time in the year and a half. thank you, james. let's speak to our russia editor steve rosenberg now. good morning to you in moscow. what has been the reaction there? by, good morning to you in moscow. what has been the reaction there?- has been the reaction there? a range of reactions — has been the reaction there? a range of reactions really _ has been the reaction there? a range of reactions really from _ has been the reaction there? a range of reactions really from disbelief- of reactions really from disbelief to anger, and that anger is being expressed most vocally by the russian pro—war military bloggers, a group that has been quite prominent here over the last couple of years. they have been very publicly critical of russia's military leadership. they have accused it of
8:12 am
taking its eye off the ball, allowing this to happen, potentially thousands of ukrainian troops to flood across the border and seize territory in russia. anger as well being expressed by residents living in that border area, russian zulus lives have been turned upside down and who have had to flee. —— russia residents whose lives have been turned upside down. they are openly critical of the local organisations and the russian military but not criticising vladimir putin publicly. in a sense what is happening now plays into a long—standing narrative of vladimir putin, that russia is under threat, a besieged fortress in danger. but the longer this goes on and ukraine holds territory in russia, the pressure will grow, the more the pressure will grow on the russian leadership. i wonder whether at some point russians will start to join the dots and say, hang on at
8:13 am
some at some point russians will start to join the dots and say, hang on at a second, we were told two and a half years ago that the whole idea of this military operation in ukraine is to make russia safer but now we have got more nato on russia border, finland and sweden having joint, ukraine seizing territory inside russia, there are almost daily drone attacks on russian cities, and all because of a decision of one man to one half years ago in the kremlin to launch the full—scale invasion of —— two and a half years ago in the kremlin to launch a full—scale invasion of ukraine. a pilot has died after their helicopter crashed it happened just before 2am local time, causing a fire and the evacuation of hundreds of guests. it's been reported that one of the helicopter�*s rotor blades landed in the pool. thousands of people in greece have been told to leave their homes because of wildfires near athens. dozens of fires broke out over the weekend, fanned by gale force winds, and more extreme weather is due this week.
8:14 am

8:21 am
prevented the killings and they say the mental health system in the country is broken. they point to some other examples in the medical records. on two of the occasions that valdo calocane was section, he could have been kept in hospitalfor six months but the longest he ever stayed under a section was seven weeks. nine months before the killings, he was discharged by his mental health team back to his gp so he was not a chilly in the care of the mental health team when he killed, because he was not responding to their correspondence, calls, e—mails and letters. doctor richard taylor who was in the report earlier, he said this practice of discharging patients back to the gp for not engaging with mental health teams is problematic. valdo calocane's brother eliza says it points to a system which is simply not working and his brother never got the care he needed. loath? not working and his brother never got the care he needed.— got the care he needed. why did valdo calocane's _ got the care he needed. why did valdo calocane's family - got the care he needed. why did valdo calocane's family choose i got the care he needed. why did l valdo calocane's family choose to talk? , ., . ,.,

8:23 am
having a psychotic episode when he was being section. these people have never spoken before and they given us an impression of what valdo calocane was like and what happened to him in those years leading up to the awful events in nottingham. haste the awful events in nottingham. we have talk to the victims are part of the family in this programme why are they not in the film? the the family in this programme why are they not in the film?— they not in the film? the victim is a ot of they not in the film? the victim is a pot of the _ they not in the film? the victim is a pot of the family, _ they not in the film? the victim is a pot of the family, i _ they not in the film? the victim is a pot of the family, i know - they not in the film? the victim is a pot of the family, i know you i they not in the film? the victim is l a pot of the family, i know you have spent time with both of the families of grace, and barnaby webber, they have been through something that most of us could not imagine, their pain and angerand most of us could not imagine, their pain and anger and grief is deep and it is to all of us clear what happened. this focus of this investigation is about what happened before that incident, particularly around valdo calocane's interactions with mental health services, his declining mental health, not so much with the events ofjune 2023 and
8:24 am
what followed. we have tried to look at that specific period around his interactions with mental health services and what we have uncovered is what the calocane family believe is what the calocane family believe is a broken system and missed opportunities that could have prevented these killings. we have spoken to people who had first—hand experiences with calocane. the victims�* families have expressed their deep pain and anger at valdo calocane been charged with manslaughter and sentenced to a secure hospital, they believe he should have been charged with murder and sent to prison. they accept he was mentally unwell but they do not accept that he had zero level of capability. 50 accept that he had zero level of caabili . ,, accept that he had zero level of capability-— accept that he had zero level of caabili . , ., ., , accept that he had zero level of caabili . , ., ., capability. so your programme is on toniaht. in capability. so your programme is on tonight- in the _ capability. so your programme is on tonight. in the meantime _ capability. so your programme is on tonight. in the meantime tomorrow| capability. so your programme is on i tonight. in the meantime tomorrow we get an official report from the care quality commission, their official review into the care that valdo calocane received. this is a big week, isn�*t it, for the families and all concerned. it week, isn't it, for the families and all concerned.— all concerned. it is and in many wa s, all concerned. it is and in many ways. what _ all concerned. it is and in many ways, what has _ all concerned. it is and in many ways, what has happened i all concerned. it is and in many ways, what has happened afterj

8:26 am
hello, good morning from bbc london, i�*m barry caffrey. new projects to improve public spaces across the capital are to receive a share of £12m from the mayor of london. the funding — from the civic partnership programme — will go to schemes in croydon, hoxton, ilford, neasden, and lewisham. the aim is to spruce up the high streets and improve climate resilience. the elusive street artist banksy has confirmed he was behind the new design of swimming piranhas which were spray—painted on to a police sentry box on ludgate hill. now, the city of london corporation says it�*s looking to try to preserve the artwork. much to the delight of some people. i think a lot of people think, "oh, why would you do this at a time i when there's so much strife and trouble and the riots i and everything? " but i sort of think, "well... ..let's have something different i to take our minds away from that!"
8:27 am
because everyone's been so affected by it in one way or another. - i've been hopping around once they started coming out on the monday. i missed the...the wolf one because it was taken down, but it'sjust kind of fun and creates a fun atmosphere, getting everybody out and just enjoying art, really, so... large sections of the piccadilly line will close on saturday to allow for track and platform upgrades ahead of a new fleet of trains arriving. the work will be carried out over weekends until the 1st of september. rail replacement bus services will be in place between wood green and cockfosters and between rayners lane and uxbridge. tfl is advising people to plan theirjourney ahead of time. let�*s take a look at the tubes now. time for the weather forecast now — here�*s sara thornton. morning to you. we�*ve seen some very warm air move in from the south
8:28 am
through this weekend. yesterday we had temperatures in the high 20s celsius. it�*s been a warm and a muggy night, as well. and today, hotter still — although it is the peak of the heat today, likely to be the warmest day of the year so far, slowly turning a little bit cooler from tomorrow. there�*s a very weak weather frontjust trying to push across us today, as well — there�*s almost nothing on it but a do mention it because, although the story predominantly today is that it�*s dry and it�*s sunny, we will see just a strip of cloud moving across us this afternoon with the potential for the odd stray shower. but, as i say, predominantly it is about the sunshine, and it will be hot — most of us seeing temperatures in the low 30s celsius. around the m25 corridor, could get even higher than that — 34 or 35 — mid—90s in fahrenheit. overnight tonight, there�*s a little system just working its way in from the south. looks like it has the potential to just clip us to the east, with the odd stray thundery shower. mostly, though, it�*s dry and fairly clear overnight. and it is warm, but not as warm as the nightjust gone — from tomorrow, it starts to turn cooler and fresher.
8:29 am
so a very hot day ahead! that�*s it from me for now, there�*s plenty more on our website — including the story about a dog with terminal cancer that�*s been nominated for a bbc award. now it�*s back tojon and sally. have a very good morning — bye—bye. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. thank you forjoining us. we talk a lot about potholes on breakfast. and off breakfast, as well. exactly. but despite pledges from governments and councils to fix the problem, the rac says it�*s getting worse. nina, you�*ve has been looking into the figures. they are shocking. they are, whenever — they are shocking. they are, whenever we _ they are shocking. they are, whenever we talk _ they are shocking. they are, whenever we talk about i they are shocking. they are, whenever we talk about pot l they are shocking. they are, i whenever we talk about pot holes they are shocking. they are, - whenever we talk about pot holes the audience get in touch in their dozens because it is such a big
8:30 am
issue, it can cost a lot of money in the moment but also just the daily grind of going over the same one every day really gets to people. thank you for your comments, will come onto then later. nobody likes having to fork out money because of badly maintained roads. every year the rac surveys drivers and for the first time their research shows motorists�* number one top concern is — you�*ve guessed it — potholes, or the poor state of the roads. these worries even coming way above high insurance or petrol costs. more than a quarter of drivers said a pothole damaged their car last year. we�*re talking anything from a burst tyre, a damaged wheel, to broken suspension. and the damage is not cheap to fix. this report showed average repair costs at around £460. in theory, you can claim compensation from your local council to cover those costs.
8:31 am
but as our transport correspondent katy austin reports, it�*s not always that easy. from northern scotland to salisbury... from lancashire to kent. pictures like these, filmed by bbc reporters around the country, show the extent of britain�*s pothole problem. it may not come as a surprise, then, that when the rac asked motorists about their top concerns this year, the state of the roads surfaced as number one. 75% of drivers said that they think their local roads have got worse in the last year. rural roads tend to be worse than urban roads. so this is the car? yes, this is my wife's car. and this is the wheel that struck the pothole, the tyre that was split in the incident, and then the alloy wheel was dented. and that�*s not something that could be driven on. no, unfortunately, after that, the car needed to be repaired and couldn't be driven. richard�*s wife was driving near cirencester in may last year when she hit that pothole.
8:32 am
and then there's the pothole right there. oncoming land rover, and there's no option but to follow the line that she's following. to avoid the incident hitting his family in the wallet, richard claimed £189 for the damage from gloucestershire county council. they turned it down, richard persisted, and lawyers got involved. and it's been a very complicated and protracted process. but it was all resolved last week when they conceded that they should pay the claim. that�*s more than a year later. well over a year, yeah. the council apologised for the distress caused, adding that it defends claims robustly and fairly to protect the public purse. a spokesperson said new information had led to the case being settled. different local authorities have their own claims processes — an insurance price comparison website told us many people end up paying for damage out of their own pocket because it�*s easier. what they should do
8:33 am
is go to the council. councils are responsible for maintaining roads, therefore they�*re also responsible for paying out any claims for damage to your vehicle. you could also claim on your insurance, but be wary — that could mean that obviously you�*ve got a claim on your policy and you see your insurance premiums go up for at least the next couple of years. the previous government promised to put £8.3 billion into repairing local roads in england over the coming decade. in a statement, the department for transport told us the new government was committed to tackling the poor state of the roads, and would support local authorities to fix up to one million more potholes a year. but it didn�*t say how much it would spend. with the finances of local councils stretched, they argue long—term funding certainty is needed to help prevent potholes in the first place. katy austin, bbc news. lots of people will be looking at those pictures and thinking they look all too familiar. thank you to everyone who has been in touch. sam
8:34 am
got in touch to say i spent hours filling in a really complicated form and contacted my county counsel when and contacted my county counsel when a tyre got stuck. they said, although we waited months for answers, this particular not covered and they would need to claim all over again via highways. i gave up because it was frustrating. this is really familiar story, people saying they tried and failed so didn�*t bother. laura has fallen out her wheelchair three times because of potholes that nobody in the local council or the county council i taking responsibility for. it is council or the county council i taking responsibility for. it is so difficult. we — taking responsibility for. it is so difficult. we have _ taking responsibility for. it is so difficult. we have had _ taking responsibility for. it is so difficult. we have had lots i taking responsibility for. it is so difficult. we have had lots of i difficult. we have had lots of people get in touch. i think there is a bit of a theme here. neil from gloucester said, is a bit of a theme here. neil from gloucestersaid, i hit is a bit of a theme here. neil from gloucester said, i hit a pothole, punctured a tyre, reported it to the local council and they said because it had been surveyed may they knew about the pothole and it was scheduled to be repaired, they were not liable to compensate. another one, same thing. somebody said i hit a pothole in newark late last year, made a claim, it was turned down,
8:35 am

8:43 am
silvers —— dominating in the 800. so many have come out of nowhere almost on a highlight for me was in the artistic swimming, when britain won theirfirst ever medal artistic swimming, when britain won their first ever medal in artistic swimming. because of the reaction on theirface when swimming. because of the reaction on their face when they realised from that incredible free routine that they had done it. that to me i think sums up a lot of these olympics. sums up a lot of these what they had done it. that to me i think sums up a lot of these what i games it has been for britain. 50 sums up a lot of these what i games it has been for britain.— it has been for britain. so many memories- _ it has been for britain. so many memories. we _ it has been for britain. so many memories. we note _ it has been for britain. so many memories. we note that - it has been for britain. so many memories. we note that in i it has been for britain. so many i memories. we note that in terms of total medals, team gb hit their target. but not so much in the gold how much of an investigation will there be into the lack of gold medals? not total lack but they could have been more. you medals? not total lack but they could have been more.- medals? not total lack but they could have been more. you are right. 14 old could have been more. you are right. 14 gold medals _ could have been more. you are right. 14 gold medals won _ could have been more. you are right. 14 gold medals won by _ could have been more. you are right. 14 gold medals won by team - could have been more. you are right. 14 gold medals won by team gb, i could have been more. you are right. i 14 gold medals won by team gb, down from tokyo when they won 22. because the medals table is built on that and determined by that it means that britain are seventh in the medals
8:44 am
table, their lowest finish for 20 years, below the likes of france and the netherlands. i think that will be something that team gb look at, but also they will take into account that there were a lot of medals won across different sports, they beat their tally from tokyo by one and it is a fifth olympic games in a row that they have managed 60 or more medals. this time, more than half were contributed by women. overall they will take that into account, view this as a success and also take into account just for the view this as a success and also take into accountjust for the near misses that they had. i�*m thinking of the likes of matt hudson—smith who missed out on the gold medal by hundredths of a second or someone like josh hundredths of a second or someone likejosh kerr it was picked on the line by someone that nobody had tipped in the 1500 metres. then there were things outside of the control of team gb, like adam peaty contracting covid bought kate french having to pull out of the modern pentathlon, the defending champion, with illness. that will be taken into account but the message team gb

is that they view these games as a successful and they are overall happy with how they have performed. what about the message from paris, from france, as they reflect on these olympics? they were controversial, some people had quite low expectations early on, that they would be trouble and security issues. what is the sense in paris now that the olympic site over? i know the paralympics are yet to come but are they happy with how it has gone? but are they happy with how it has one? ., , ., but are they happy with how it has one? ., i. ., but are they happy with how it has one? ., ., gone? yeah, you are right. there was a sense, gone? yeah, you are right. there was a sense. a — gone? yeah, you are right. there was a sense. a bit— gone? yeah, you are right. there was a sense, a bit like _ gone? yeah, you are right. there was a sense, a bit like the _ gone? yeah, you are right. there was a sense, a bit like the build-up i gone? yeah, you are right. there was a sense, a bit like the build-up to i a sense, a bit like the build—up to london 2012 when there were issues surrounding the games, the build—up, essential concerns mainly around security and how the ambitious opening ceremony would unfold, when it was held on the seine, outside of a stadium for the first time in the olympic games. what paris has delivered is a ground—breaking games. they have had sustainability at the forefront, as well, gender parity at these games, and while they have been issues, water quality

in the seine was a destruction to the triathlon and practice sessions, but i think overall these games have kind of reinvigorated the olympic movement, especially when you consider what it was like three years ago in tokyo with the very sterile atmosphere because of covid and the very feature of the olympics —— future of the libby�*s was called into action. paris has been very successful for the ioc. into action. paris has been very successfulfor the ioc. there is in little time to warm up but with the success of the likes of leanne marchant, that has really —— leon marchand has helped. locals are happy for it to go back to normal but it will all ramp up for the paralympics. i but it will all ramp up for the paralympics-— but it will all ramp up for the paralympics. but it will all ramp up for the paral mics. ., i. paralympics. i love the way you said that it took — paralympics. i love the way you said that it took the — paralympics. i love the way you said that it took the prescience _ paralympics. i love the way you said that it took the prescience a - paralympics. i love the way you said that it took the prescience a bit i paralympics. i love the way you said that it took the prescience a bit of. that it took the prescience a bit of time to get into the mood but this olympics has felt very authentically french, and last night we got a
