winter fuel payments for pensioners will become means—tested later this year under a surprise change by the government. but millions who are eligible may not be claiming it. i'll explain how to check if you're one of them. out before they managed to get in. if you're one of them. it was a night of despair for rangers against dynamo kyiv in their bid to qualify for the lucrative champions league. it isa it is a cloudy start across the southern half of the country with light rain. it will brighten up later. in the northern half, sunshine to start and cloud over from the west later. it's wednesday, the 14th august. the number of violent attacks against women and girls on britain's railways has increased by more than 50% in two years, according to the british transport police. its survey found that more

than a third of women have been subjected to sexual harassment or sexual offences while commuting by train or tube. our correspondent nick eardley has this report. beeping. put your bags on the floor. this is the moment when edgar junior was arrested by british transport police last year. the 50—year—old had sexually assaulted a woman on a train. he admitted it and was sentenced to 20 months in prison. but new figures show that this is far from an isolated case. british transport police figures show an average of 31 reports a day involving violent crimes against women or girls. the number being reported hasjumped 50% in just two years. reports of sexual harassment have more than doubled in the same period, with sexual assault reports up io%, too. most women and girls have experienced incidents of sexual harassment and other types of non—contact sexual offending

on the transport network for a very long time. it isn't new to many women and girls that this is happening, but we also know perpetrators can target busy transport network times so that they can access women and girls in that way, as well. so we shouldn't be surprised that there are a huge number of perpetrators. there have been a number of campaigns encouraging women to report violence on the transport network. like this app, railway guardian. police say the increase in cases is not necessarily more crime, but could be a sign that more women are comfortable coming forward to report it. we're starting to see the impact, i think, of the public campaigns and the encouraging of people to come forward and report. so that's definitely a strategy to carry on. but what we do need to see is action taken by the british transport police in response to all of these reports, because if we don't start to see action, then people won't feel it's worthwhile coming forward and reporting it. but charities also warn the reported

cases are likely to be the tip of the iceberg. the government says the violence women face in the transport network is completely unacceptable, and ministers are pledging to halve violence against women and girls in the coming years. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. and now the rest of this morning's news. president biden has said he hopes a ceasefire deal in gaza could dissuade iran from launching an attack on israel. iran blames israel for the death of a hamas leader in tehran and has vowed to retaliate. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega is in beirut. ceasefire talks are due to restart. what are the chances of a breakthrough? good morning. ithink good morning. i think there is little hope significant progress can be made in these talks. yesterday i

think a lot of people believed the talks had been called by the us, egypt and qatar to buy time to postpone this iranian response. i think this was something president biden talked about yesterday and he also acknowledged it was getting harder to reach a deal in gaza. many differences between israel and hamas remain. lots of questions about the participation of hamas in these talks. also questions about the intentions of the israeli prime minister who many believe is not interested in a deal and he wants to prolong the war to guarantee his political survival. we have seen there has been diplomatic activity to try to de—escalate tensions in the region but iran says it has the right to defend its sovereignty after the assassination of the hamas political leader there two weeks ago and both iran and hamas blame israel

for the assassination. in the meantime the war in gaza continues. it was said 19 palestinians were killed yesterday in air strikes including a mother and twin babies, four days old. including a mother and twin babies, four days old-— representatives of the train drivers union, aslef, are expected to meet department for transport officials later to try to end a long—running pay dispute. industrial action has spanned more than two years and affected more than a dozen train operating companies based in england. aslef and the dft are understood to be hopeful a deal can be reached. a police officer in the us state of ohio has been charged with murderfor the shooting last august of a pregnant black woman who had been suspected of shoplifting. 21—year—old ta'kiya young had refused to get out of her car when the officer, connor grubb, fired through the windscreen. her unborn daughter also died. in the next hour, we'll get

an update on the latest inflation figures, which indicate how quickly prices are rising. ben's keeping an eye on the figures for us. this is our monthly look at how quickly the price of everyday goods is changing. usually we look out for the consumer price index covering things like food and clothes. injune prices were rising by 2%. it's unchanged from the month before and the lowest for almost three years. remember the days of ii% inflation? but this month there'll be a bit more interest in a different measure of inflation — the retail price index or rpi. that's becausejuly�*s rpi figure is traditionally used to set the level at which rail fares in england will rise by next year — plus an additional i%. rpi was 2.9% last month. so if it stays the same, we could potentially be looking

at rail fare increases of around 4% from next year. but the government says no decisions have been made on next year's railfares but our aim is that prices are as affordable as possible for passengers. we expect there to be an announcement on changes to rail fares later this year. us presidentjoe biden has made his first comments about ukraine's military offensive in russia. mr biden said the incursion has created a real dilemma for vladimir putin. his comments come a week after ukrainian troops crossed the border. they now claim to have control of 7a settlements in the kursk region. president putin has vowed to dislodge ukraine's forces. the head of the fire service in greece has said there are no longer any active wildfires in the wider athens region. milder winds and extensive efforts by the emergency services have helped bring the blaze under control. an estimated 10,000 hectares of land has been destroyed

and at least two people have been killed. animal welfare campaigners are warning more beef and dairy cows are being kept indoors for the whole of their productive lives, amid a rise in so—called mega—farms. the bbc found more than 915,000 cows are now being housed on large—scale farms, something the group compassion in world farming describes as deeply concerning. taylor swift's concerts at wembley stadium this week will have additional ticket checks. the performances are sold out and ticketless fans have been warned to stay away. it comes after three shows in vienna were cancelled over an alleged plot by suspected terrorists to attack the venue and fans. chi chi izundu reports. this is what wembley bosses don't want to see — 40,000 ticketless swifties took over the grass hill outside

the munich venue to listen to her perform her eras tour. fans call it tay—gating — soaking up the atmosphere. and last time taylor was in the uk, ticketless fans tay—gated at wembley, cardiff and liverpool. but for her next five dates at wembley, officials are asking fans not to do this. a reminder was posted on the venue's website, which read... "everyone will be checked before entry and we don't want any bad blood. we'd hate to have to turn you away." they added, "to support the safe entry and exit of everyone within the stadium, no one is allowed to stand outside any entrance or on the olympic steps at the front of the stadium. non—ticket holders will be moved on." # when you wake up and find that you're looking for. last week in vienna, fans were left singing in the streets after organisers cancelled all three taylor swift gigs after austrian security officials foiled a planned terror attack.

i think given what happened in vienna just the other week, it makes sense that wembley stadium would issue a statement like this, especially when there's so many young people and families that will be attending over the five nights. and i think it will be a reassurance to a lot of fans that the stadium is taking security seriously. we are just really hoping that maybe a ticket will fall into our lap. we're going to be here for a while and we know she's in town for a while, so we'll see what happens. but sadly for superfans cassie and katy, all the wembley nights are sold out and ticket experts are warning people to be careful because some tickets being sold online don't exist and it could leave fans disappointed and out of pocket. chi chi izundu, bbc news. just when i thought taylor swift mania from early in the summer... we have another decade to go. still going. carol mania as well. she is

nice. the good bit at the end. save the best till last. freddie flintoff has opened up about his life since he suffered a high—speed car crash whilst filming an episode of top gear in 2022. the england cricketer was left with severe facial injuries and broken ribs after the car he was in flipped off a test track. for his new series, freddie flintoff�*s field of dreams on tour, he's returned to his hometown of preston to take his cricket team to india — a trip he'd planned before his accident. 0ur sports correspondent patrick geary has this report. i promised you a trip to india. um, i'm wondering if you still want to go. freddie flintoff has been on many a cricket tour before, but none quite like this. representing england, but we're representing something far bigger than that — representing preston. a team of lancastrian youngsters who, until a couple of years ago, mostly didn't know the rules of cricket, heading to india, where the sport is woven into everyday life. catch!

this is the second series of freddie flintoffs field of dreams. are you all right? miss me? where the great ex—cricketer turns ambassador, coach and mentor. using the sport he loves as a force to try and improve the lives of young people from his home town of preston. i want to be involved. i think it brings the best out in you. yeah. production began not long after the first series aired in 2022, but soon everything would have to stop. in the last few minutes, _ it's been announced that the former england cricketer freddie flintoff has been taken to hospital - after being injured in an accident. exactly what happened in that accident while filming for top gear at dunsfold park in surrey has never been publicly spoken about. but the programme showed us for the first time the effect it had on flintoff. genuinely should not be here after what happened. it's going to be a long road back. i've only just started. got to look on the positive — i'm still here, i've got another chance.

i've got to go at it. i'm seeing that as how it is — a second go. he would reach a settlement with the bbc, which hasn't broadcast top gear since. for months, we saw and heard nothing from freddie flintoff until he appeared in cardiff last september among the england cricket coaching staff. but travelling abroad to film field of dreams on tour would be a huge step. last night's programme showed us how big a challenge it was. i think about it all the time and i think about going and how good it will be. i rewind and thinking, well, i don't want to leave the house, either. get on a plane and got to be away for two and a half weeks. yeah. some of these lads have had a tough life. you've got to try and put it into perspective. yeah. and i feel guilty i can't do that. i don't want to sit here and feel sorry for myself. and i don't want sympathy. but it's going from being here for seven months, really, and then going to india. which is like the extreme.

everywhere i go, at the minute, i've got a full facemask and glasses on. i can't do that. i struggle with anxiety. you know, i have nightmares, i have flashbacks. it's been so hard to cope with. but i'm thinking if i don't do something, i'm never going to go. i've got to get on with it. in some ways, like, the lads might help you out. i'm a bit nervous about that, as well. you know, seeing them for the first time, being in front of them. flintoff, as he has so often, rose to the challenge and, injanuary, he reunited with his team... oh, my god, it's you. ..to make good on his offer of the tour of a lifetime. whatever�*s happened this last year for me, one thing i've been very aware of and desperately wanting to do is take you. i've heard they love you over in india. not just india, sean! are you feeling 100% now? not really. i don't know if i will again, to be honest. i'm better than i was. i don't know what completely better is. you know what i mean? i am what i am now. i'm different to what i was. that's something i'll probably have to deal with for the rest of my life. so, better?

no, different. freddie flintoff always was cricket's action hero, the ultimate all—rounder, a man of many skills and, clearly, many dimensions. patrick geary, bbc news. good to see his recovery and how open he is, impressive. the fact that he has recovered, he is a different man. he won't say he is better but he will never fully be the same person again. that honesty, typical honesty. good to see him back on the telly. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily telegraph's front page reports there's been a 40% surge in children on disability benefits. it says government figures show claims for conditions, including adhd and autism, have risen by 200,000 since lockdown.

the prime minister has been told to "get a grip of workshy britain" according to the daily mail. the number of people not in work or education is at a i2—year—high. it comes after chancellor rachel reeves pledged to take action in her autumn budget. and the daily star says exhibitionist blokes should not take their tops off in public during a heatwave — that will not be a danger today. after a survey found the public don't like it. the paper says some think the practice should be banned, and others have called for fines to be introduced. would you be outraged? we know how partial you are. just stripping off. sometimes in the building. just running through the corridors. we would appreciate if you wait until after we have had breakfast. it won't be happening. it seems

conclusive, this study. they spoke to thousands. 72% of men and more important 76% of women say it is not acceptable. it is quite an obnoxious thing to do when you see it on public transport for example. you think is that really necessary? sweating on the bus. it ties in quite nicely with the fact there is another study involving three quarters of british people. they like to have a beer at the airport before going on holiday. i think that is the law. if you are a drinker, to have a toast, no matter what time of day, before you get on the flight. 6.20. sometimes you have the tv in the departure lounge. if you are at the airport. cheers. cheers. three quarters! probably more, to be honest. i want to talk about this. it piqued my

interest. quite a lot as a parent you worry about how much your children are gaming. 0ne you worry about how much your children are gaming. one of mine got really into minecraft and apparently this is the first minecraft psychology laboratory. learning about behaviour and creativity. hundreds of thousands learn through gaming. a major area of research. if you are at the airport having a drink, leave the kids on the devices, it is fine. they are learning. everyone is a winner! the wreck of a ship which sank more than 200 years ago in one of the uk's worst maritime disasters has been granted special protection by the government. the earl of abergavenny was captained byjohn wordsworth, the brother of the renowned romantic poet william wordsworth, and sank off the coast of weymouth in dorset in 1805 with the loss of more than 200 people. from weymouth, our correspondent

duncan kennedy reports. this is the story of tragedy, great riches, heroism and poetry. and it all revolves around this ship, the earl of abergavenny, that floundered in these waters off dorset more than 200 years ago. yes, this is the maritime gallery in here. david carter has spent a0 years diving on the wreck of the vessel. he says it was en route from portsmouth to china when it hit a sandbank in a storm off the shores of weymouth. even by the standards of the day, just how big a tragedy was this? this was an enormous tragedy that went right across the country. 250 people died. it was human error. the conditions of the storm, of the night and everything coming together, causing the perfect storm. the earl of abergavenny was not only a revolutionary design incorporating metal into its wooden frame, but the captain was someone special, too.

the clue to his identity lies in these gold cufflinks with the initials jw. they stand forjohn wordsworth. he was the brother of william wordsworth, the renowned romantic poet. william's grief overjohn�*s death changed his poetry for ever. the ship lies in soft of water about a mile off the coast here in weymouth. but this isn't just a story about a huge loss of life. the vessel was also carrying 62 chests of silver bullion worth around £7 million in today's money. the bullion has been lost to antiquity, but these artefacts have been recovered from a wreck that has today been given special protected status. the personal clutched from the perils of the deep. why is it important to remember this ship? this vessel is the finest and

largest of the east india company ships and the scheduling will enable it to be protected. it is quite unique. the government has worked with historic england to create this protected status. it means people can still dive on the wreck, but must leave its contents in place. a unique submerged exhibit held by the waves for posterity. duncan kennedy, bbc news, in weymouth. what a poignant story. how it affected his brother's poetry. lovely. more than 15 years ago, a group of volunteers started collecting vintage spitfire memorabilia — it started as a hobby with just one photo has now filled an entire aeroplane hanger. the spitfire visitor centre at blackpool airport is now looking to expand, as ed hanson reports. hangar 42 at blackpool airport.

a room full of stories and history. and this is the photo that started this collection. so from hundreds of files, i pulled one out and a picture fell on the floor. it was a picture of a spitfire with lytham st annes written on the side. and that's really what started this whole story. he discovered the spitfire was adopted by lytham st annes as part of the government's wings for victory campaign. where towns raised money and adopted aircraft for the war effort. and, most importantly, john learned who the pilot was, alan lever ridings. he was a young man from 0ldham who ended up flying the town's spitfire and was sadly shot down on the 23rd ofjune 1942 and was killed. so from that, we decided to build a memorial to the residents of lytham st annes and

to alan lever ridings, which has now pride of place at fairhaven lake on the coast in lytham st annes. spurred on, the museum was born. the collection boasts planes and vehicles from the second world war period. right, 0k. take it for a final trip. in one of the workshops, raymond and his new apprentice maurice are busy renovating a rare wooden plane, identical to the one flown by the iconic aviatrix amyjohnson. amy's family owned an ice—packing business in fleetwood and her last fateful flight in the airspeed 0xford started on the runway here at blackpool in 19111. if we can bring people in and tell the story of amyjohnson and have the aircraft here to replicate that flight, it's an opportunity for us. it is also a privilege for us to do this work. with amy's plane taking shape, the museum has outgrown its current space and fundraising is under way

for a new hangar here. that will allow opening hours to be extended. the team of volunteers hope the hangar will be complete next year, along with the tribute to amy johnson. what a collection. ed hanson had that report. still to come on breakfast. we will get out and about. we'll go around shropshire petal fields, where the equivalent of 400 tennis courts are packed with delphiniums, cornflowers and sunflowers. it's usually a working flower farm, but has thrown open its gates for ten days to allow visitors to enjoy the stunning views and find out how they make biodegradable bouquets and petal confetti. they made the flowers for medal winners at london 2012. shame we are not there. a great place to go. let's take the sofa next time. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

hello, good morning, let's get your london news now with me, frankie mccamley. thousands of motorists in the capital are receiving parking fines in places they have never visited due to number plate fraud, that's according to an investigation by bbc london. car cloning involves criminals stealing or copying another car's registration plates. a freedom of information request to london's councils and tfl found more than 36,000 tickets were cancelled due to cloning in 2023. ben king was one of the victims. it's so, so stressful, both for me and my fiancee. we were literally up late at night worrying about having to find £1000 to pay these fines, what to do, how to appeal, it was really stressful and a really worrying time. you may never have heard of it, dyscalculia. it's a learning difficulty that's estimated to affect 6% of the population.

it can make learning maths a challenge because it affects how a person understands numbers. but following a recently storyline in the tv soap eastenders, campaigners are calling for maths teachers to receive compulsory training to help them spot the signs. you're likely to see over a period of time that the child isn't necessarily making progress, or it almost feels like they're falling behind. they're having particular difficulty with numerical magnitude comparison, that means they find it really difficult to comprehend, compare and order numbers. certainly adults with dyscalculia will report to us that understanding time and money are their biggest challenges into adulthood. the department for education told us that "it's working closely with the sector to ensure there is earlier and more accurate diagnoses for pupils with special education needs." let's take a look at the tubes now, severe delays on the hammersmith and city as well as the 0verground and minor delays on the northern line.

now onto the weather with sophia herod. good morning. we see a change in the weather today. we have got more in the way of cloud and it's going to feel cooler as well. we've got a chance of showers which could be thundery at times so quite a grey and damp day for us but it brightens up as we look to thursday, the isobars tighten up so it is going to be windy. then on friday we've got a weather front moving our way, bringing some rain. so more unsettled. but as we look to the rest of today, we've got more in the way of cloud, we've got some showers which could be thundery at times as well. should be a little bit drier for most of us during the afternoon, and some breaks in that cloud certainly. temperatures feeling cooler at around 22 to 25 celsius. so overnight we do start to see this cloud breaking away, it's mostly dry for us as we start the day on thursday morning. so bright for many and temperatures down to around 12 to 15 celsius. through the rest of friday, it's largely dry with plenty of sunshine but it's going to be windy so i suspect it will feel cooler than the highs of around 24 celsius. it's more unsettled on friday and then brightening up as we have a look to the weekend.

that's it from me, more on our website and social media including a round up of all of banksy�*s latest surprise surprise animal art trail. now i'll pass you back to nina and jon. see you soon. hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. later this year the winter fuel payment will become means—tested. but it's thought many people who are eligible for help could be missing out. ben's looking at this for us. it seems an odd time to talk about this in the summer, but it is important to look ahead. yes, we talk a lot in the colder months about the difficulties people on lower incomes, particularly pensioners, face when it comes to affording those heating bills,

and this year looks set to be no different. good morning. this was the surprise announcement from the new chancellor last month, removing automatic access to winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners. the one—off payment is to help pensioners with heating bills through the winter. it's worth up to £300 per household. but the chancellor announced last month it'll now be means tested meaning ten million homes in england and wales are no longer eligible as simon ward reports. 74—year—old roy aldridge is visiting the age uk charity shop in sutton in ashfield. he says a small private pension will mean he just misses out on his usual winter fuel payment. that £300, which i won't be getting now, i put it always to my winter fuel bill so that i keep the house warm, but now i'm going to be having to seriously think about turning the heating off for the winter. age uk has started a national petition against the labour government plans to cut the winter fuel benefit. we think it's a mistake. we think it's too soon.

there hasn't been enough notice. there's no evidence of compensatory payments to anybody who might miss out. so the issue is that we think nationally, about two million people will really struggle to put the heating on this winter. the chancellor, rachel reeves, says difficult decisions have to be made to balance the nation's finances. these were not the decisions i wanted to make. that i expected to make. but we have to clear up this mess. we cannot leave unchecked a £22 billion black hole in our public finances. there's not much sympathy for labour's plans among pensioners here. same as i say, i've worked all my life for my winter... and i've got money now, i'm not bad off, but you're being penalised for going to work and saving your money. they want to take £4 a week off us, so be it. you'lljust cope with it, will you? well, what other choice have you got, really? no. so, yeah, it is what the world is and that's it. i'm 71.

but the thing is, it's something that has been such a long time and they suddenly just stop it. i thought labour were for the working class. i've paid into the system for a lot of years. well, it's my first, my first winter on my own, so i have to be very careful, you know? watch the other spending. some pensioners decide to donate the benefit to charity if they don't need it. age uk says it has schemes which can help older people to make their homes more energy efficient. it's likely the row will resurface during the colder months. that was simon ward reporting there. if you're concerned about losing the winter fuel payment this year and worried about keeping the heating on, it's worth checking if you're eligible for pension credit or other means—tested benefits. lots of people are, but they don't claim it. now, pension credit gives you extra money to help with your living costs if you're over state pension age and on a low income. it's worth around £3,900 a year.

and while 1.4 million pensioners get this help, there's more than 800,000 others who are eligible but don't claim, in many cases because they don't realise they can. that's about £2.2 billion going unclaimed. so if you're aged 66 or above and receive less than £218 of total weekly income if you're single, or less than £332 a week if you're a couple and are both over the state pension age, then you could be eligible for this money. if you think that might be you, go to the government's website gov.uk where there are more details on how to claim. asi as i say, it is early to be thinking about winter fuel payments but if you get your ducks in a row now for what you are entitled to, it means you will be able to claim that payment when you need it without any delay.

thank you. 2.2 billion going unclaimed and the government to make a saving by making it means tested, but if the uptake goes up, some that will be cancelled out but important to claim it if you are entitled to it. ~ to claim it if you are entitled to it. . ., to claim it if you are entitled to it. ~ ., ., , to claim it if you are entitled to it. ~ ., .,, ., ~ to claim it if you are entitled to it. we had to be talking about winter payments _ it. we had to be talking about winter payments in _ it. we had to be talking about winter payments in the - it. we had to be talking about| winter payments in the middle it. we had to be talking about. winter payments in the middle of summer and also weird to be talking about winter payments in the middle of summer and also wage to be —— it is weird to be talking about football in the middle of summer. yes, there are these matches which are so early in the season. rangers were trying to qualify for the champions league but they really feel like they have not got going it with the season so early so it was a tough night for them, sorry to say. good morning. the dream is over for rangers after a 2—0 defeat last night. and a lot of frustration this morning over this sending off that earned a second yellow card and a subsequent red, which seemed harsh and turned

the game in kiev�*s favour. with that extra player they went on to score twice in two minutes, to win 3—1 on aggregate, as rangers drop into the europa league and say goodbye to a bumper pay day. financially it's a big difference for the club as we know and it will be difficult for the chancellor is coming in, that we know, it's a reality. i have seen the images back and it is clearly totally his fault, it is himjumping and it is clearly totally his fault, it is him jumping higher than the man. it was a game changer because one decision for one man you take away the dream of the whole dressing room so that is really hard. manchester united are the team splashing the cash this morning. signing the dutch centre back matthias de lijt and morrocan full—back nossair mazraoui from bayern munich for a combined fee of £60 million ahead of the opening premier league match of the new season on friday.

not a sight you want to see. england test captain ben stokes on crutches and hobbling around. he's been ruled out for the whole summer and will miss the three test series against sri lanka which starts on wednesday having pulled his hamstring playing in the hundred. he's aiming to be back for the tour of pakistan in october, because the nation will want him fully fit for the ashes at the end of next year. despite his absence the northern superchargers kept alive their hopes of winning the competition. england's adil rashid starring with the ball in a rain affected match against london spirit taking some key wickets, before the superchargers closed out the match thanks to some supercharged hitting as they won thanks to a superior scoring rate. there was no catching that one.

london spirit's women though are on the brink of reaching the knockout stage in the women's competition. heather knight hit the winning runs as they turned the tables on the superchargers here to win by seven wickets with balls to spare. and we're two days and three stages into the women's tour de france, but we haven't actually reached france yet, believe it or not. the race starting outside france for the first time, with three stages in the netherlands, two yesterday. charlotte kool won stage two yesterday morning before defending champion demi vollering took stage three, she leads going into stage four later as the race heads to belgium, before finally reaching france tomorrow. more a sort of tour of europe at the moment thanjust france. moment than just france. we moment thanjust france. we are going to have some great guests later talking to us about how the cycling in paris has inspired them to get involved. see you later, john, thank you. bafta award—winning actor surannejones is best known for her roles in tv dramas

like vigil and doctor foster, but she's also a big fan of community theatre and has been using her spare time to work with budding actors in norfolk. earlier this year, suranne became the new president of the sheringham little theatre and since then has been spending time getting stuck in to her new role. 0ur reporter debbie tubby has been to meet her. when i was a little girl... everything's whip smart that i've seen here. and the actors are brilliant. like, for a little theatre, ijust think, yeah, the quality is, like, sky high. came up to me with her... gold rimmed lorgnette! yes! _ the sheringham little theatre has transformed over the last 60 years, but it's probably never had such an award winning actor as its leading lady. so think of an emotion, a line and the situation, and i'm looking for all the character stuff within that. surannejones doesn'tjust have the title of theatre president. today, she's holding a drama workshop. i wanted to be hands on, and i wanted to help promote.

and yeah, i wanted to make sure i had time to do it properly. is it good for you to to give something back? being with a group of kids or aspiring actors who are really hungry for knowledge, and also that can be really surprising in groups, gives me a lot, so we're all learning. as we know she has presence on stage and holds an audience. it's been really helpful, actually, especially from someone who's in the industry as well, because i'm doing a—level drama. so any help is good help, isn't it? oh, it's amazing, i've - learned so much from her. she's such an inspiration and it's really like inspired me to carry. on with acting in the future. surannejones is known for her performance in vigil, the bbc�*s tense police drama. she won a bafta in 2016 for best actress for her portrayal of a gp in the tv drama doctor foster, and she's just presented channel four�*s investigating witch trials. if it was the last moment i was to live, god knows i am innocent. what i wanted to do was set

up my own company so that i could make programmes that were important to me, and investigating witch trials was our first documentary and something that i've always loved. we've just been commissioned for two dramas, so i think drama is where my heart lies. what's your advice for children who want to be actors? because it's just about getting that break, isn't it? it's about social skills, it's about confidence. and i think if you're happy and you have a love for creativity, then you'll find your success. in our modern world, she wants us to remember the magic of theatre. it's a really important part of how we grow. and i would love, i'd love us to find a way to promote small theatres, small stories more. that's, that's my kind of big challenge. sheringham little theatre hopes with surannejones front of house. it won't only raise the curtain,

or may be some rain on sunday. if you are stepping out, the southern half of the country is mothers in the northern half. —— is milder than the northern half. —— is milder than the northern half. cloud and patchy light rain, murky conditions in the southern half of england and wales. we will start to see some holes develop through the day, as temperatures rise in the sunshine that could spark some showers. as temperatures rise, it will be fine, dry, a few showers in the west but later the cloud will thicken, the wind will strengthen and we will start to see more showers coming in across northern ireland and western scotland. temperatures 15 to 24 but if we have longer breaks in the sunshine in the south, we could reach 26. through the evening and overnight, a lot of clear skies, still some cloud in the south—east. but the rain will be the main feature of the weather and stronger

winds. heavy and persistent in pushing into northern england by the rest of the night. temperature —wise, 12 to 13 at best overnight. so cooler in some southern areas and a little bit milder in the north. that takes us into tomorrow, this is a front bearing the heavy and persistent rain, it will be sinking slowly southwards through the course of the day. you can see from the spacing of the isobars it will be a blustery day, not quite as windy as yesterday for england and wales but you will notice it. dry weather here but the cloud building as the weather front sinks across scotland, northern ireland, northern england and in through wales. behind that we will see some late afternoon brightness, still windy here with a few showers. which is on thursday ranging from 15 in the north to 26 south. moving on, friday we have a weather front getting down to the south, a little bit of an element of doubt as to how quickly that will

and i've got to throw them away and put more up. and we're doing this every day. he's not the only resident living in the heathcote area of the town that's raised issues about flies and smells since berry circular polymers began production at its food packaging recycling plant. we don't open our windows and doors because literally you get loads of flies in. the flies then hover all over your food when you're eating, they buzz around you at night so you don't know where they're landing. now, ever since this recycling company has come here, we've been inundated with little triangular flies that come in great numbers, fly around your head, very hard to kill. it's absolutely awful. it's like something. out of a horror film. you wouldn't wish it i on your worst enemy. and there's no let up from it. some days are better than others. and it depends where everybody lives as to what they— experience the most of. we were told that both warwick district council and the environment agency were actively monitoring complaints.

we asked both agencies for an update on the situation. we were initially referred to a public website which showed that there have been around 40 inspections on the site by environmental officers. it also reported that there had been more than 100 complaints about flies, 200 complaints about odours, and the agencies had given ongoing advice about pest control to the firm. but the ongoing situation has infuriated the local mp. there is clearly an issue, the environment agency needs to get on top of it. the last government did next to nothing, and so that's why i have written already to the new government, to the new minister, within four weeks of that new government being formed, asking questions, the same questions about what can be done. and i'm expecting answers. we have contacted the firm twice asking for an update but haven't received a response.

the environment agency say it is a priority to them, but environmental officers have been unable to substantiate a link with any particular site. joan cummings, bbc news. it really is something from a horror film. ., ., , ., , it film. for them, that is horrible. it made me itchy. _ film. for them, that is horrible. it made me itchy. we _ film. for them, that is horrible. it made me itchy. we need - film. for them, that is horrible. it made me itchy. we need a - film. for them, that is horrible. it made me itchy. we need a bit - film. for them, that is horrible. it made me itchy. we need a bit of. made me itchy. we need a bit of fraurance made me itchy. we need a bit of fragrance and — made me itchy. we need a bit of fragrance and colour. _ made me itchy. we need a bit of fragrance and colour. the - made me itchy. we need a bit of| fragrance and colour. the perfect antidote. during this time of year, our gardens are in full bloom and at this flower farm in shropshire, the fields are a riot of colour, featuring impressive displays of delphiniums and sunflowers. the farm has opened its gates for ten days to allow visitors to enjoy the stunning views and find out more about how they make biodegradable bouquets and petal confetti. 0ur reporterjoanne writtle has more. 25 acres of stunning colour near newport. this is shropshire petal fields, where the equivalent of 400 tennis courts are packed with delphiniums,

cornflowers and sunflowers. it's usually a working flower farm, but it's thrown open its gates for ten days. celebration of all things petal. so it's a celebration of farming in the whole. so we've got different crops based around us as well as the flowers, but it's about getting people to understand where the flowers come from and just enjoy nature. there's also a potato farm here run by the same family for three generations, but it's this woman who spearheaded the diversification into flowers. and now biodegradable petal confetti is sold as far afield as australia and america. my nan was an avid gardener and a keen member of the local wi, so she would take flowers from her garden, dry them on her aga in the kitchen and sell them in the local w! in newport. the business was soon selling dried flowers on a commercial scale, later moving into confetti, and it now sells to manufacturers of bath products and candles.

it feels like being in a floral maze and the fragrance is just divine, which is not surprising when you think 1.4 million flower seeds were planted here. the festival runs until sunday. just gorgeous. we'rejoined now byjim bubb, director of shropshire petals and beth heath from shropshire festivals. we also have these beauties in front of us that they have brought with them, the most incredible fragrances.— them, the most incredible fraarances. , ., , fragrances. they look and smell fantastic, good _ fragrances. they look and smell fantastic, good morning - fragrances. they look and smell fantastic, good morning to - fragrances. they look and smell fantastic, good morning to bothj fragrances. they look and smell. fantastic, good morning to both of you. fantastic, good morning to both of you it _ fantastic, good morning to both of you it is _ fantastic, good morning to both of you it is a — fantastic, good morning to both of you. it is a family— fantastic, good morning to both of you. it is a family business, - fantastic, good morning to both of you. it is a family business, you i you. it is a family business, you have _ you. it is a family business, you have been— you. it is a family business, you have been doing _ you. it is a family business, you have been doing this— you. it is a family business, you have been doing this for- you. it is a family business, you have been doing this for years l you. it is a family business, you . have been doing this for years but it seems_ have been doing this for years but it seems that _ have been doing this for years but it seems that the _ have been doing this for years but it seems that the business - have been doing this for years but it seems that the business is - it seems that the business is changing? _ it seems that the business is changing?— it seems that the business is chanauin? , , ., ,, changing? yes, it has progressed the last cou - le changing? yes, it has progressed the last twple of— changing? yes, it has progressed the last couple of years, _ changing? yes, it has progressed the last couple of years, my _ changing? yes, it has progressed the last couple of years, my nanny - last couple of years, my nanny daisy... daisy, love that! she was

what to do, how to appeal, it was really stressful and a really worrying time. and you can see more on that story on our main programme at 6.30 tonight. you may never have heard of it — dyscalculia. it's a learning difficulty that's estimated to affect 6% of the population. it affects how a person understands numbers. following a recent storyline on eastenders, campaigners are calling for maths teachers to receive compulsory training to help spot the signs. you're likely to see over a period of time that the child isn't necessarily making progress, or it almost feels like they're falling behind. they're having particular difficulty with numerical magnitude comparison, that means they find it really difficult to comprehend, compare and order numbers. certainly, adults with dyscalculia will report to us that understanding time and money are their biggest challenges into adulthood. the department for education told us that it is working closely

with the sector to ensure there is earlier and more accurate diagnosis for pupils with special education needs. let's take a look at the tube. severe delays on the hamersmith and city and 0verg round. minor delays on the northern line. now the weather with sophia herod. good morning. we see a change in the weather today. we have more in the way of cloud and it's going to feel cooler as well. we've got a chance of showers which could be thundery at times so quite a grey and damp day for us but it brightens up as we look to thursday, the isobars tighten up so it is going to be windy. then on friday we've got a weather front moving our way, bringing some rain. so more unsettled. but as we look to the rest of today, we've got more in the way of cloud, we've got some showers which could be thundery at times as well. should be a little bit drier for most of us through the afternoon, and some breaks in that cloud certainly. temperatures feeling cooler at around 22 to 25 celsius. so overnight we do start to see this cloud breaking away, it's mostly dry for us as we start

the day on thursday morning. so bright for many and temperatures down to around 12 to 15 celsius. through the rest of friday, it's largely dry with plenty of sunshine but it's going to be windy, so i suspect it will feel cooler than the highs of around 24 celsius. it's more unsettled on friday and then brightening up as we have a look to the weekend. more on our website. including a round—up of banksys latest surprise animal art trail around the capital. i'm back at 7.30. see you then good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. 0ur headlines. the unacceptable increase in violence against women on our railways — with 31 incidents reported every day. president biden steps up efforts for a ceasefire in gaza amid fears of a wider conflict in the middle east.

welcome to the eras tour. wembley bans tay—gating — extra security at the singer's london shows after her austria concerts were cancelled because of a terror plot. in the next few minutes we'll find out how quickly prices for goods and services rose injuly. that's normally used to set next year's rail fares — but the government says no decision has yet been made. the dream is over for rangers. following a night of despiar against dynamo kyiv in their bid to qualify for the lucrative champions league. it was a close call, but team gb's rowers were triumphant in the quadruple sculls at the olympics. all four gold medallists will be with us here on breakfast later in the programme. the southern half of the country starting on a cloudy and damp note with light rain. it should brighten up with light rain. it should brighten

up later. the northern half starting on a brighter note with sunshine but will cloud over from the west later. all the details shortly. it's wednesday, 14th august. the number of violent attacks against women and girls on britain's railways has increased by more than 50% in two years, according to the british transport police. its survey found that more than a third of women have been subjected to sexual harassment or sexual offences while commuting by train or tube. 0ur correspondent nick eardley has this report. beeping. put your bags on the floor. this is the moment when edgarjunior was arrested by british transport police last year. the 50—year—old had sexually assaulted a woman on a train. he admitted it and was sentenced to 20 months in prison. but new figures show that this is far from an isolated case. british transport police figures show an average of 31 reports a day involving violent crimes

against women or girls. the number being reported hasjumped 50% in just two years. reports of sexual harassment have more than doubled in the same period, with sexual assault reports up 10%, too. most women and girls have experienced incidents of sexual harassment and other types of non—contact sexual offending on the transport network for a very long time. it isn't new to many women and girls that this is happening, but we also know perpetrators can target busy transport network times so that they can access women and girls in that way, as well. so we shouldn't be surprised that there are a huge number of perpetrators. there have been a number of campaigns encouraging women to report violence on the transport network. like this app, railway guardian. police say the increase in cases is not necessarily more crime, but could be a sign that more women are comfortable coming forward to report it. we're starting to see the impact,

i think, of the public campaigns and the encouraging of people to come forward and report. so that's definitely a strategy to carry on. but what we do need to see is action taken by the british transport police in response to all of these reports, because if we don't start to see action, then people won't feel it's worthwhile coming forward and reporting it. but charities also warn the reported cases are likely to be the tip of the iceberg. the government says the violence women face on the transport network is completely unacceptable, and ministers are pledging to halve violence against women and girls in the coming years. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. nina has the rest of the news. we begin with breaking news. the latest uk inflation figures have just been revealed by the office for national statistics. in the 12 months tojuly, inflation hit 2.2%. ben has the details.

what does it tell us? what we've learned in the last few minutes is that prices for goods and services went up — on average 2.2% injuly compared with a year earlier. it is an average so some things will have gone up more sharply in price — others by less, and some may even have fallen. the overall inflation figure is up slightly onjune's figure of 2%. but it's still around the lowest level we've seen for three years. and it's not far off the bank of england's target. remember, the bank put interest rates up in recent years to try and bring inflation down when it was much higher. it then started to cut them earlier this month — down a fraction to 5%, which slightly eased borrowing costs for people with mortgages and loans. we'll find out what they make of this latest inflation figure at the next interest rate decision meeting in mid september. crucially, the july inflation figure

is normally used to set rail fare increases in the following year. they use a measure could the retail prices index — or rpi — plus 1%. if that happens, we'd be looking at fare increases but the government says "no decisions have been made on next year's railfares but our aim is that prices are as affordable as possible for passengers". we expect there to be an announcement on changes to rail fares later this year. representatives of the train drivers union, aslef, are expected to meet department for transport officials later to try to end a long—running pay dispute. industrial action has spanned more than two years and affected more than a dozen train operating companies based in england. aslef and the dft are understood to be hopeful a deal can be reached. a police officer in the us state of ohio has been charged with murder for the shooting of a pregnant black woman last august who had been suspected of shoplifting.

21—year—old ta'kiya young had refused to get out of her car when officer connor grubb fired through the windscreen. her unborn daughter also died. us presidentjoe biden has made his first comments about ukraine's military offensive in russia. mr biden said the incursion has created a real dilemma for vladimir putin. the governor of russia's border region of belgorod has this morning declared a state of emergency, saying daily ukrainian shelling has destroyed houses and killed civilians. president biden has said he hopes a ceasefire deal in gaza could dissuade iran from launching an attack on israel. iran blames israel for the death of a hamas leader in tehran and has vowed to retaliate. 0ur middle east correspondent, yolande knell, is injerusalem. ceasefire talks are due to restart but what are the chances of a breakthrough?

certainly the chances of a breakthrough look slim with these talks due to resume tomorrow. but the stakes could not be higher. we had a reminder with president biden's comments where he said it was his expectation iran would hold off its retaliatory attack on israel if there was a gaza ceasefire deal so basically this could be key to averting a wider regional war. the problem he himself acknowledged is it is getting harder in his words to get to a deal although he said he was not going to give up. last week we had joe biden along with leaders of qatar and egypt, countries involved in the mediations, putting out a strongly worded statement urging israel and hamas to get to the negotiating table tomorrow to hammer out a deal, presenting it as a last ditch effort. hamas said it

does not want to return to these talks and instead called on it mediators to implement a deal it said it signed up to last month. even we had a member of the israeli negotiating team coming out in the israeli media speaking anonymously but saying unless the prime minister's office expands israel's mandate, he questions really the viability of returning to talks. the head of the fire service in greece has said there are no longer any active wildfires in the wider athens region. milder winds and extensive efforts by the emergency let's speak now to our correspondent azadeh moshiri. azadeh, what's the latest? todayis today is about assessing the damage and you can clearly see some of that

around me. you might not realise i am standing in what used to be a basketball court and behind me was the basketball hoop that has completely collapsed. 0ver the basketball hoop that has completely collapsed. over here are stands where rows of children used to come to watch their friends play. 0ne to come to watch their friends play. one of the staff members said there were about 500 children who would play here every day. there is a school nearby. above me was a rooftop. it was an indoor basketball court. the roof was the first thing to catch fire. and the staff member believes part of the reason this place was vulnerable was that there are pine trees all around. this is the suburb of athens that is one of the suburb of athens that is one of the ones hardest hit by wildfires. so now the government needs to assess how many businesses like this need to be rebuilt. they have

allocated 4.7 billion euros in assistance. there are people evacuated, thousands, and almost 650 people were given temporary housing. and yet businesses like this, that support means there will still be a lot of time before they can get up and running. lot of time before they can get up and running-— lot of time before they can get up and runnint. ., ., , ., , and running. huge reparation efforts ahead. and running. huge reparation efforts ahead- thank _ and running. huge reparation efforts ahead. thank you. _ taylor swift's concerts at wembley stadium this week will have additional ticket checks. the performances are sold out and ticketless fans have been warned to stay away. it comes after three shows in vienna were cancelled over an alleged plot by suspected terrorists to attack the venue and fans. chi chi izundu reports. this is what wembley bosses don't want to see — 40,000 ticketless swifties took over the grass hill outside the munich venue to listen to her perform her eras tour. fans call it tay—gating —

soaking up the atmosphere. and last time taylor was in the uk, ticketless fans tay—gated at wembley, cardiff and liverpool. but for her next five dates at wembley, officials are asking fans not to do this. a reminder was posted on the venue's website, which read... "everyone will be checked before entry and we don't want any bad blood. we'd hate to have to turn you away." they added, "to support the safe entry and exit of everyone within the stadium, no one is allowed to stand outside any entrance or on the olympic steps at the front of the stadium. non—ticket holders will be moved on." # when you wake up and find that you're looking for. last week in vienna, fans were left singing in the streets after organisers cancelled all three taylor swift gigs after austrian security officials foiled a planned terror attack. i think given what happened in vienna just the other week, it makes sense that wembley stadium would issue a statement like this, especially when there's so many

young people and families that will be attending over the five nights. and i think it will be a reassurance to a lot of fans that the stadium is taking security seriously. we are just really hoping that maybe a ticket will fall into our lap. we're going to be here for a while and we know she's in town for a while, so we'll see what happens. but sadly for superfans cassie and katy, all the wembley nights are sold out and ticket experts are warning people to be careful because some tickets being sold online don't exist and it could leave fans disappointed and out of pocket. chi chi izundu, bbc news. but for those with tickets to get inside the stadium will have a marvellous time and i am envious. enjoy. you would love to go? yes. unlucky with tickets. next time. here's carol. that is a stunning picture. is it

results tomorrow. in the case of a—levels, more than 825,000 exams were taken in 2024 — a 2.4% increase on last year. while many young people will go straight into work or apprenticeships, almost 317,000 students have applied for university or college this year — the second highest figure on record. but the number of teenagers applying to study medicine has dropped by 12% in two years — down tojust over 12,000. 0ur reporter anne—marie tasker has been to lincoln medical school, where the first doctors to be trained in the city have begun working in the nhs. after leaving london and spending five years studying medicine in lincolnshire, miranda is among the first 73 doctors to graduate

from lincoln medical school. and now she's swapping the university's training wards for real ones, starting her firstjob as a junior doctor at lincoln county hospital. hospitals like lincoln and boston will help you gain those independent skills quite early. rural medicine is not something that you get to experience often, especially if you grow up or you work in a big city. so we get to see different conditions that are more progressed, like diabetes and hypertension. do you think if you hadn't been here at medical school, you never would have applied for a job at a hospital in lincoln or boston? honestly, probably not. lincolnshire was the largest english county without a medical school until lincoln's was established in 2018. we filmed its first ever group of medical students in the early years of their training. last week, they started work at hospitals across the country, with a handful staying here.

it was multiple factors. my love for the city — it's just a beautiful, really peaceful place with lovely people. then also just things like the cost of living. so ijust thought to myself i'm not sure why i would rush back to london when, really, i've got everything i need here. it's always been a bit of a challenge historically to be able to bring students to train in lincolnshire. essentially, we want to be able to grow our own doctors in the region and, obviously, to give those students a really good, helpful experience whilst they're here, so that they then want to be able to stay in the area and basically carry on providing care to the patients and the people that live in lincolnshire. miranda will spend her first two years working as a medic in lincoln and boston. hospital bosses hope she won't be the last home—grown doctor they take on. good luck to them. and good luck to miranda. that was anne—marie

a freedom of information request to london's councils and tfl found more than 36,000 tickets were cancelled due to cloning in 2023. ben king was one of the thousands of victims. it was so, so stressful, both for me and my fiancee. we were literally up late at night worrying about having to find £1,000 to pay these fines, what to do, how to appeal, it was really stressful and a really worrying time. and you can see more on that story on our main programme at 6.30 tonight and on our website. stansted airport has had its busiestjuly on record. last month, almost three million passengers passed through the terminal. july also saw the airport record its busiest ever departure day with nearly 53,000 passengers taking to the skies on 26th july, the first friday of the school holiday. a 35—storey tower block

that was planned next to the river thames in east london has been scaled back following fears it would impact a nearby world heritage site in greenwich. developer criterion capital was advised by greenwich council to reduce the height of its enderby place project by two floors following feedback from local groups. if approved, the scheme would include 564 new homes and some commercial space. let's take a look at the tubes now. severe delays on the hammersmith and city as well as the 0verground minor delays on the northern line. now onto the weather with sophia herod. good morning. we see a change in the weather today. we have got more in the way of cloud and it's going to feel cooler as well. we've got a chance of showers which could be thundery at times so quite a grey and damp day for us but it brightens up as we look to thursday, the isobars tighten up so it is going to be windy. then on friday we've got a weather front moving our way,

bringing some rain. so more unsettled. but as we look to the rest of today, we've got more in the way of cloud, we've got some showers which could be thundery at times as well. should be a little bit drier for most of us during the afternoon, and some breaks in that cloud certainly. temperatures feeling cooler at around 22 to 25 celsius. so overnight we do start to see this cloud breaking away, it's mostly dry for us as we start the day on thursday morning. so bright for many and temperatures down to around 12 to 15 celsius. through the rest of friday, it's largely dry with plenty of sunshine but it's going to be windy so i suspect it will feel cooler than the highs of around 24 celsius. it's more unsettled on friday and then brightening up as we have a look to the weekend. more on our website including a round up of banksy�*s latest surprise animal art trail around the capital with the latest installation at london zoo. i'm back in half an hour. see you then.

hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. athletes from team gb have returned to a hero's welcome after winning 65 medals at the paris 0lympics. one of the standout moments of the games came from the final of the women's quadruple sculls, where great britain's rowers had a dramatic photo—finish. let's take a look. it's the red line zone. they are sprinting, great britain up to the line. it is neck and neck. it could be on the line. it's gold! is it? it's a photo finish. i think great britain and northern ireland might have snatched that on the line. and it's been given to great britain! they are the olympic champions!

and it will be different for the transfers to come in also, that we know. that's the reality. i've seen images back, and it's clearly totally even not a fault. hejumps higher than the man, that's everything that happened. this decision was a game changer, and that's really hard for my dressing room. because with one decision of one person, you take away a dream of the whole dressing room, so that's really hard. three days until the start of the new premier league season, manchester united are splashing the cash, signing the dutch centre back matthias de lijt and morrocan full—back nossair mazrowee from bayern munich for a combined fee of £60 million. unitd kicking off the new season against fulham on friday night. now, not a sight you want to see. in the middle of a busy summer of cricket, that is england test captain ben stokes on crutches. he's been ruled out for the whole

summer, missing the three test series against sri lanka which starts a week today. he pulled his hamstring playing in the hundred but is aiming to be back for the tour of pakistan in october. ollie pope will step up to captain england in his absence. jk rowling and elon musk have both been named in an online lawsuit filed by the olympic boxing champion imane khelif, according to the lawyer representing the algerian in the case. in an interview given to variety magazine, khelif�*s lawyer says both have been listed in a criminal complaint filed with the french authorities, which alleges the boxer suffered aggravated cyber harrassment. khelif was cleared to compete by the international olympic commitee in paris where she won gold, despite being disqualified from last year's world championships after reportedly failing gender eligibility tests. and we will be reliving some of the exploits of our british cyclists on breakfast this morning.

for now though, the rcacing doesn't stop, we are two days and three stages into the women's tour de france the race starting outside france for the first time, with three stages in the netherlands, two yesterday. charlotte kool won stage two yesterday morning before defending champion demi vollering took stage three, she leads going into stage four later as the race heads to belgium, before finally reaching france tomorrow. looking forward to hearing more about the medal success of our british cyclist in paris later. ieiieiiith british cyclist in paris later. with the first time _ british cyclist in paris later. with the first time i _ british cyclist in paris later. with the first time i have _ british cyclist in paris later. tn the first time i have held one, british cyclist in paris later. try the first time i have held one, they are really weighty. fiend the first time i have held one, they are really weighty.— are really weighty. and a bit of the eiffel tower _ are really weighty. and a bit of the eiffel tower as _ are really weighty. and a bit of the eiffel tower as well. _ are really weighty. and a bit of the eiffel tower as well. the _ are really weighty. and a bit of the eiffel tower as well. the first - are really weighty. and a bit of the eiffel tower as well. the first and i eiffel tower as well. the first and last time. you _ eiffel tower as well. the first and last time. you can _ eiffel tower as well. the first and last time. you can make - eiffel tower as well. the first and last time. you can make it! - eiffel tower as well. the first and last time. you can make it! don'tj last time. you can make it! don't tive u- last time. you can make it! don't give up on _ last time. you can make it! don't give up on the — last time. you can make it! don't give up on the dreams! _ last time. you can make it! don't give up on the dreams! thank i last time. you can make it! don't i give up on the dreams! thank you. last time. you can make it! don't - give up on the dreams! thank you. we are ttoin give up on the dreams! thank you. we are going to — give up on the dreams! thank you. we are going to be — give up on the dreams! thank you. we are going to be talking _ give up on the dreams! thank you. we are going to be talking to _ give up on the dreams! thank you. we are going to be talking to some - give up on the dreams! thank you. we are going to be talking to some of - are going to be talking to some of the celebrities who are racing across the world on bbc one from this evening later. but first, the

weather with carol, good morning. good morning. a beautiful morning in the wirral, look at this weather watcher picture, somebody already having a little dip, and if we moved across the country to pembrokeshire, across the country to pembrokeshire, a beautiful start to the day here. the sun is already out but it is not like this everywhere. there are some cloudy and patchy rain places, and it will be cooler than it has been four times, cooler than it has been but equally some sunshine. but this weekend will be dry and sunny for most of us but not hot like last weekend. if you have an allergy to pollen, these are the levels today, moderate to high across many parts of the uk. starting off with a lot of the uk. starting off with a lot of cloud, patchy light rain and drizzle, murky conditions across central, eastern and southern parts of england. through the day some of that will break and as temperatures rise, it could spark off some showers. brightening up nicely, south—west england, wales, northern

england, scotland, seeing a fair bit of sunshine and after the sunshine this morning, in northern ireland we will see some more cloud coming in and into western scotland. here too, the wind will pick up and we will see a few showers. these are the temperatures, 15 to 24, could be higher in the south with prolonged spells of sunshine. some clear skies, but we have got a weather front coming in from the west, introducing some heavy and persistent rain across scotland and northern ireland. the wind will strengthen and by the end of the night that will be across north—west england as well. some clearer skies ahead and it will be a cooler night in the south than it was last night, and a milder night in the north and it was last night. that takes us into tomorrow, a weather front which is very slowly pushing south through the course of the day. the isobars telling you it is going to be blustery, not as windy as we thought it would be across england and wales this time yesterday but you will

still notice it and the rain continues to push slowly south, getting into north wales and the north midlands. we will see some late sunshine and showers across parts of scotland and northern ireland but it should stay mostly dry across central, eastern and southern parts of england and wales. 15 to 26 is the order of the day in terms of temperatures. the rain does get into parts of northern england, it might linger across the channel islands and the far south—east, but to the north of that a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine, some blustery showers, across the north and the west, and temperature —wise, 14 to about 23 or 24, even 25. beyond that into the weekend, it looks like it is going to dry out, we will see some sunshine, a few showers peppering especially the north—west. it showers peppering especially the north-west—

freddie's field of dreams. former cricketer andrew flintoff returns to our screens for the first time since a life changing high—speed crash. welcome to the eras tour. wembley bans tay—gating. extra security at the singer's london shows after her austria concerts were cancelled because of a terror plot. the southern half of the country this morning is cloudy with light rain. it should brighten up through the day. the north of the country starts on the bright note but will cloud over from the west later. all the details shortly. it's wednesday the 14th august. the number of violent attacks against women and girls on britain's railways has increased by more than 50% in two years, according to the british transport police. its survey found that more than a third of women have been subjected to sexual harassment or sexual offences while

commuting by train or tube. our correspondent nick eardley has this report. beeping. put your bags on the floor. this is the moment when edgarjunior was arrested by british transport police last year. the 50—year—old had sexually assaulted a woman on a train. he admitted it and was sentenced to 20 months in prison. but new figures show that this is far from an isolated case. british transport police figures show an average of 31 reports a day involving violent crimes against women or girls. the number being reported hasjumped 50% in just two years. reports of sexual harassment have more than doubled in the same period, with sexual assault reports up 10%, too. most women and girls have experienced incidents of sexual harassment and other types of non—contact sexual offending on the transport network for a very long time.

it isn't new to many women and girls that this is happening, but we also know perpetrators can target busy transport network times so that they can access women and girls in that way, as well. so we shouldn't be surprised that there are a huge number of perpetrators. there have been a number of campaigns encouraging women to report violence on the transport network. like this app, railway guardian. police say the increase in cases is not necessarily more crime, but could be a sign that more women are comfortable coming forward to report it. we're starting to see the impact, i think, of the public campaigns and the encouraging of people to come forward and report. so that's definitely a strategy to carry on. but what we do need to see is action taken by the british transport police in response to all of these reports, because if we don't start to see action, then people won't feel it's worthwhile coming forward and reporting it. but charities also warn the reported cases are likely to be the tip of the iceberg. the government says the violence

women face on the transport network is completely unacceptable, and ministers are pledging to halve violence against women and girls in the coming years. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. inflation has risen for the first time this year, according to the latest figures. in the 12 months tojuly, it hit 2.2%. ben has the details. what does it tell us? it is about the cost of living and pressure on household budgets. this is our monthly look at how quickly the price of everyday goods is changing. prices for goods and services went up on average by 2.2%% injuly compared with a year earlier. it is an average so some things will have gone up more sharply in price, others by less and some may even have fallen. the overall figure — known as the consumer price index — is slightly up from the month before, when it was 2%, which is bang on the bank of england's target. earlier this month, the bank cut

interest rates by a fraction, which slightly eased borrowing costs for people with mortgages and loans. this latest figure is a shade above its target and we'll find out what the bank makes of this at the next interest rate decision meeting in mid september. but this month, there'll be a bit more interest in a different measure of inflation — the retail price index. that's becausejuly�*s rpi figure is traditionally used to set the level at which rail fares in england will rise by next year — plus an additional 1%. this month, rpi hit 3.6%, so if this figure is used, injulu, so we could be looking at railfares going up by close to 5% next year. but the government says no decisions have been made on next year's railfares but our aim is that prices are as affordable

as possible for passengers. responding to the inflation figure more generally, the treasury said "the new government is under no illusion as to the scale of the challenge" adding it recognises that "many families still struggling with the cost of living." representatives of the train drivers union, aslef, are expected to meet department for transport officials later to try to end a long—running pay dispute. industrial action has spanned more than two years and affected more than a dozen train operating companies in england. aslef and the dft are understood to be hopeful a deal can be reached. a police officer in the us state of ohio has been charged with murder for the shooting of a pregnant woman last august who had been suspected of shoplifting. 21—year—old ta'kiya young had refused to get out of her car when officer connor grubb fired through the windscreen. her unborn daughter also died. the governor of russia's border region of belgorod has this morning

declared a state of emergency, saying daily ukrainian shelling has destroyed houses and killed civilians. it comes after us presidentjoe biden made his first comments about ukraine's military offensive. mr biden said the incursion has created a real dilemma for vladimir putin. meanwhile, the us secretary of state, antony blinken, has reportedly postponed a trip to the middle east because of uncertainty in the region. iran blames israel for the death of a hamas leader in tehran, and has vowed to retaliate. our middle east correspondent, yolande knell sent us this update on whether ceasefire talks could make any difference. certainly, the chances of a breakthrough look slim with these talks due to resume tomorrow. but the stakes could not be higher. we had a reminder with president biden's comments where he said it was his expectation iran would hold off its retaliatory

attack on israel if there was a gaza ceasefire deal. so basically this could be key to averting a wider regional war. the problem he himself acknowledged is it is getting harder in his words to get to a deal, although he said he was not going to give up. last week we had joe biden along with leaders of qatar and egypt, countries involved in the mediations, putting out a strongly worded statement urging israel and hamas to get back to the negotiating table tomorrow to hammer out a deal, presenting it as a last ditch effort. hamas said it does not want to return to these talks and instead called on it mediators to implement a deal it said it signed up to last month. even we had a member of the israeli negotiating team coming out in the israeli media speaking anonymously but saying unless the prime minister's office expands israel's mandate,

he questions, really, the viability of returning to talks. the head of the fire service in greece has said there are no longer any active wildfires in the wider athens area. the fires killed at least two people and forced residents of some suburbs and the surrounding areas to leave their homes. let's speak now to our correspondent azadeh moshiri. it is clear the scale of the devastation. absolutely. that is exactly what authorities are trying to assess. that is what today is about. unfortunately, it is a process the authorities here know too well. this time it has come to the suburbs of athens like this one. one of the worst hit areas. you can see the damage. you might not realise it was a basketball court before the fires hit. over there is the basketball hoop that has

completely collapsed. over here are the stands where rows of children used to watch their friends play. a staff member told us about 500 children would play here per day. if you look at the pictures of what the court looks like, you can see just how wrecked it has been by the wildfires. how do you support communities like this? the government has allocated 4.7 million euros. almost 650 people have been offered temporary housing since sunday. right now, authorities are going around trying to assure people they will receive support. yet for businesses like this, it will be a long time before their livelihood can be restored. taylor swift's concerts at wembley stadium this week will have additional ticket checks. the performances are sold out and ticketless fans have been

warned to stay away. it comes after three shows in vienna were cancelled over an alleged plot by suspected terrorists to attack the venue and fans. chi chi izundu reports. this is what wembley bosses don't want to see. 40,000 ticketless swifties took over the grass hill outside the munich venue to listen to her perform her eras tour. fans call it tay—gating — soaking up the atmosphere. and last time taylor was in the uk, ticketless fans tay—gated at wembley, cardiff and liverpool. but for her next five dates at wembley, officials are asking fans not to do this. a reminder was posted on the venue's website, which read, "everyone will be checked before entry and we don't want any bad blood. we'd hate to have to turn you away." they added, "to support the safe entry and exit of everyone within the stadium, no one is allowed to stand outside any entrance or on the olympic steps

at the front of the stadium. non—ticket holders will be moved on." # when you wake up and find that you're looking for #. last week in vienna, fans were left singing in the streets after organisers cancelled all three taylor swift gigs after austrian security officials foiled a planned terror attack. i think given what happened in vienna just the other week, it makes sense that wembley stadium would issue a statement like this, especially when there's so many young people and families that will be attending over the five nights. and i think it will be a reassurance to a lot of fans that the stadium is taking security seriously. we are just really hoping that maybe a ticket will fall into our lap. we're going to be here for a while and we know she's in town for a while, so we'll see what happens. but sadly for superfans cassie and katy, all the wembley nights are sold out and ticket experts are warning people to be careful because some tickets being sold online don't exist and it could leave fans disappointed and out of pocket. chi chi izundu, bbc news.

just when you thought all the hype was over. she is back. there is a long way to go. here's carol. good morning. the glitter and sparkle as well and around taylor swift. fabulous. if you arejust stepping out, it is a cold start for sum and mild for others. in london it is 19, bradford 13. northern ireland, 8 degrees and seven in north—east scotland. a lot of cloud and murky conditions. some light rain, especially in central and eastern parts of england. further north, back into the sunshine but through the afternoon, the wind will pick up in western scotland and northern ireland with showers.

northern ireland with showers. northern england, wales, the south—west, a lot of sunshine. cloud breaking up in places. that could spark showers as temperatures rise. through the evening and overnight, rain across scotland and northern ireland. blustery winds. by the end of the night that will be into north—west england. ahead of it, clear skies so a cooler night in the south. but milder in the north with the cloud and rain. tomorrow the rain advances in scotland and northern ireland, heading south across northern england and wales. to the far south, we hang on to the driest conditions with sunshine. sunshine and showers followed behind. temperatures 15—26. the rain makes it down to the south on friday morning. it could drag its heels in terms of clearance. lingering in the

far south—east and channel islands. a lot of dry weather away from the north—west where we have showers and blustery wind. the weekend for most is dry with blustery wind. the weekend for most is dry with decent blustery wind. the weekend for most is dry with decent sunny blustery wind. the weekend for most is dry with decent sunny spells. blustery wind. the weekend for most is dry with decent sunny spells. the best bit saved for the weekend. we have heard a lot this morning amazing stories about people involved in sport. now we will hear from freddie flintoff. he has opened up about his life since he suffered a high—speed car crash whilst filming an episode of top gear two years ago. the england cricketer was left with severe facial injuries and broken ribs after the car he was in flipped off a test track. for his new series, freddie flintoff�*s field of dreams on tour he's returned to his hometown of preston to take his cricket team to india — a trip he'd planned before his accident. our sports correspondent patrick geary has this report. i promised you a trip to india. um, i'm wondering if you still want to go.

freddie flintoff has been on many a cricket tour before, but none quite like this. representing england, but we're representing something far bigger than that — representing preston. a team of lancastrian youngsters who, until a couple of years ago, mostly didn't know the rules of cricket, heading to india, where the sport is woven into everyday life. catch! this is the second series of freddie flintoffs field of dreams. are you all right? miss me? where the great ex—cricketer turns ambassador, coach and mentor. using the sport he loves as a force to try and improve the lives of young people from his home town of preston. i want to be involved. i think it brings the best out in you. yeah. production began not long after the first series aired in 2022, but soon everything would have to stop. in the last few minutes, _ it's been announced that the former england cricketer freddie flintoff has been taken to hospital - after being injured in an accident. exactly what happened in that accident while filming for top gear at dunsfold park in surrey has never been publicly spoken about. but the programme showed us for the first time

the effect it had on flintoff. genuinely should not be here after what happened. it's going to be a long road back. i've only just started. got to look on the positive — i'm still here, i've got another chance. i've got to go at it. i'm seeing that as how it is — a second go. he would reach a settlement with the bbc, which hasn't broadcast top gear since. for months, we saw and heard nothing from freddie flintoff until he appeared in cardiff last september among the england cricket coaching staff. but travelling abroad to film field of dreams on tour would be a huge step. last night's programme showed us how big a challenge it was. i think about it all the time and i think about going and how good it will be. i rewind and thinking, well, i don't want to leave the house, either. get on a plane and got to be away for two and a half weeks. yeah. but some of these lads have had a tough life.

you've got to try and put it into perspective. yeah. and i feel guilty i can't do that. i don't want to sit here and feel sorry for myself. and i don't want sympathy. but it's going from being here for seven months, really, and then going to india. which is like the extreme. everywhere i go, at the minute, i've got a full facemask and glasses on. i can't do that. i struggle with anxiety. you know, i have nightmares, i have flashbacks. it's been so hard to cope with. but i'm thinking if i don't do something, i'm never going to go. i've got to get on with it. in some ways, like, the lads might help you out. i'm a bit nervous about that, as well. you know, seeing them for the first time, being in front of them. flintoff, as he has so often, rose to the challenge and, injanuary, he reunited with his team... oh, my god, it's you. ..to make good on his offer of the tour of a lifetime. whatever�*s happened this last year for me, one thing i've been very aware of and desperately wanting to do is take you. i've heard they love you over in india. not just india, sean!

are you feeling 100% now? not really. i don't know if i will again, to be honest. i'm better than i was. i don't know what completely better is. you know what i mean? i am what i am now. i'm different to what i was. that's something i'll probably have to deal with for the rest of my life. so, better? no, different. freddie flintoff always was cricket's action hero, the ultimate all—rounder, a man of many skills and, clearly, many dimensions. patrick geary, bbc news. good on him. really good on him, what he has been through and to be bold enough to talk about it in detail and talk to those young men about his mental health and struggle he has gone through is amazing. and keeping the promise to take them to india. despite being apprehensive about it he is doing it. if you missed the first episode of

freddie flintoff�*s field of dreams, you can catch up now on the iplayer. episode two is on bbc one on tuesday at 9pm. the wreck of a ship that sank more than 200 years ago in one of the uk's worst maritime disasters and has been granted special protection by the government. it was captained byjohn wordsworth, the brother of the renowned romantic poet william wordsworth, and sank off the coast of weymouth in dorset in 1805. more than 200 people died. from weymouth, our correspondent duncan kennedy reports. this is the story of tragedy, great riches, heroism and poetry. and it all revolves around this ship, the earl of abergavenny, that floundered in these waters off dorset more than 200 years ago. yes, this is the maritime gallery in here. david carter has spent 40 years diving on the wreck of the vessel. he says it was en route

from portsmouth to china when it hit a sandbank in a storm off the shores of weymouth. even by the standards of the day, just how big a tragedy was this? this was an enormous tragedy that went right across the country. 250 people died. it was human error. the conditions of the storm, of the night and everything coming together, causing the perfect storm. the earl of abergavenny was not only a revolutionary design incorporating metal into its wooden frame, but the captain was someone special, too. the clue to his identity lies in these gold cufflinks with the initials jw. they stand forjohn wordsworth. he was the brother of william wordsworth, the renowned romantic poet. william's grief overjohn's death changed his poetry for ever. the ship lies in soft of water about a mile off the coast here in weymouth.

but this isn't just a story about a huge loss of life. the vessel was also carrying 62 chests of silver bullion worth around £7 million in today's money. the bullion has been lost to antiquity, but these artefacts have been recovered from a wreck that has today been given special protected status. the personal clutched from the perils of the deep. why is it important to remember this ship? this vessel is the finest and largest of the east india company ships and the scheduling will enable it to be protected. it is quite unique. the government has worked with historic england to create this protected status. it means people can still dive on the wreck, but must leave its contents in place. a unique submerged exhibit held by the waves for posterity. duncan kennedy, bbc news, in weymouth.

that is like a full adventure book in one. the bullion that went missing and the impact on wordsworth's poetry. where is the bullion? i have not got it. hires a snorkel and heads to weymouth. it might be the middle of august but we are talking about winter fuel payments which become means tested at the end of the year. but it's thought many people who are eligible for help could be missing out — ben's looking at this. when we get into the colder months we often talk about the difficulty many on low incomes, especially pensioners have when it comes to paying for their heating bills. let me explain. this was the surprise announcement from the new chancellor last month, removing automatic access to winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners. the one—off payment is to help pensioners with heating bills

through the winter — it's worth up to £300 per household. but the chancellor announced last month it'll now be means tested, meaning ten million homes in england and wales are no longer eligible, as simon ward reports. 74—year—old roy aldridge is visiting the age uk charity shop in sutton in ashfield. he says a small private pension will mean he just misses out on his usual winter fuel payment. that £300, which i won't be getting now, i put it always to my winter fuel bill so that i keep the house warm, but now i'm going to be having to seriously think about turning the heating off for the winter. age uk has started a national petition against the labour government plans to cut the winter fuel benefit. we think it's a mistake. we think it's too soon. there hasn't been enough notice. there's no evidence of compensatory payments to anybody who might miss out. so the issue is that we think nationally, about two million people will really struggle to put

the heating on this winter. the chancellor, rachel reeves, says difficult decisions have to be made to balance the nation's finances. these were not the decisions i wanted to make. that i expected to make. but we have to clear up this mess. we cannot leave unchecked a £22 billion black hole in our public finances. there's not much sympathy for labour's plans among pensioners here. same as i say, i've worked all my life for my winter... and i've got money now, i'm not bad off, but you're being penalised for going to work and saving your money. they want to take £4 a week off us, so be it. you'lljust cope with it, will you? well, what other choice have you got, really? no. none. so, yeah, it is what the world is and that's it. i'm 71. but the thing is, it's something that has been such a long time and they suddenly just stop it. i thought labour were for the working class. i've paid into the system

for a lot of years. well, it's my first winter on my own, so i have to be very careful, you know? watch the other spending. some pensioners decide to donate the benefit to charity if they don't need it. age uk says it has schemes which can help older people to make their homes more energy efficient. it's likely the row will resurface during the colder months. that was simon ward reporting. if you are concerned about losing the winter fuel payment this year and worried about keeping the heating on, it's worth checking if you're eligible for pension credit or other mea ns—tested benefits. lots of people are, but they don't claim it. pension credit gives you extra money to help with your living costs if you're over state pension age and on a low income. it's worth around £3,900 a year. and while1.4 million pensioners get this help, there's more than 800,000 others who are eligible but don't claim — in many cases because they

don't realise they can. that's about £2.2 billion going unclaimed. so if you're aged 66 or above and receive less than £218 of total weekly income if you're single, or less than £332 a week if you're a couple and are both over the state pension age, then you could be eligible for this money. if you think that might be you, go to the government's website — gov.uk — where there are more details on how to claim. we would love to hear from you this morning on this topic. are you worried already about how you will afford winter energy payments? perhaps you struggled over the summer. have you had to adjust habits as a result? did you receive the winter fuel payment last year but did not need it? get in touch with the usual ways and leave your name and where you are from so we can give you a mention. it may be

odd to talk about it in august but if people get their ducks in a row now and claim support they are entitled to, it means when winter comes around they will have it in place ready to claim the winter fuel payment if they are eligible. i am sure we will talk about this. 2.2 billion out there going unclaimed. time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning, time for your bbc london news now with me, frankie mccamley. thousands of motorists in the capital are receiving parking fines in places they have never visited due to number plate fraud, that's according to an investigation by bbc london. car cloning involves criminals stealing or copying another car's registration plates. a freedom of information request to london's councils and tfl found

more than 36,000 tickets were cancelled due to cloning in 2023. ben king was one of the thousands of victims. it was so, so stressful, both for me and my fiancee. we were literally up late at night worrying about having to find £1,000 to pay these fines, what to do, how to appeal, it was really stressful and a really worrying time. you may never have heard of it — dyscalculia. it's a learning difficulty that's estimated to affect 6% of the population. it affects how a person understands numbers. following a recently storyline on eastenders, campaigners are calling for maths teachers to receive compulsory training to help spot the signs. you're likely to see over a period of time that the child isn't necessarily making progress, or it almost feels like they're falling behind. they're having particular difficulty with numerical magnitude comparison,

that means they find it really difficult to comprehend, compare and order numbers. certainly, adults with dyscalculia will report to us that understanding time and money are their biggest challenges into adulthood. the department for education told us that "it's working closely with the sector to ensure there is earlier and more accurate diagnoses for pupils with special education needs." let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with sophia herod. good morning. we see a change in the weather today. we have got more in the way of cloud and it's going to feel cooler as well. we've got a chance of showers which could be thundery at times so quite a grey and damp day for us but it brightens up as we look to thursday, the isobars tighten up so it is going to be windy. then on friday we've got a weather front moving our way, bringing some rain. so more unsettled. but as we look to the rest of today, we've got more in the way of cloud,

we've got some showers which could be thundery at times as well. should be a little bit drier for most of us during the afternoon, and some breaks in that cloud certainly. temperatures feeling cooler at around 22 to 25 celsius. so overnight we do start to see this cloud breaking away, it's mostly dry for us as we start the day on thursday morning. so bright for many and temperatures down to around 12 to 15 celsius. through the rest of friday, it's largely dry with plenty of sunshine but it's going to be windy so i suspect it will feel cooler than the highs of around 24 celsius. it's more unsettled on friday and then brightening up as we have a look to the weekend. more on our website including a round up of banksy�*s latest surprise animal art trail around the capital with the latest installation at london zoo. i”m back at around 9.15am. but for now i'll pass you back tojon and nina. hello, this is breakfast

with nina warhurst and jon kay. the former rugby union player ed slater was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2022 and now his friend and former team—mate, billy twelvetrees, is taking on another mammoth cycling challenge to support families affected by the condition. on monday, billy and his support team will cycle 350 miles, repeating the route he and ed covered together two years ago. and this time billy is trying to complete it in one day, rather than three. they'll start at kingsholm stadium in gloucester, cycle up to leicester, down through milton keynes and twickenham and back to gloucester. let's take a look at ed and billy in action when they did it in 2022.

i'm just a normal bloke from milton keynes that's ok at rugby and the way, the way you've supported me after this diagnosis has been huge. to show the support here we have for him, what a great bloke, what a great family. to accomplish what he's just done over three days with mnd and he literally smashed it. good luck, lads! i'd do it again in a heartbeat. yeah, i'd do it tomorrow. if you ask me to, i'd do it tomorrow.

for ed, and the kids and joanne to support him. we did the bike ride which had no real organisation, we werejust going to which had no real organisation, we were just going to set off, and we had so much fun in the three days. there was a mini heatwave in britain at the time and it was three days of fun, and a lot of hard work, a few swear words, a few angry lads. but a community and a team bonding that got us through all our rugby days together. we wanted to replicate it again and keep pushing the message for mnd and 43 going forward. and then ed suggested a different idea because of his condition deteriorating.- because of his condition deteriorating. because of his condition deterioratint. ., deteriorating. looking at those itctures, deteriorating. looking at those pictures, although _ deteriorating. looking at those pictures, although it _ deteriorating. looking at those pictures, although it was - deteriorating. looking at those i pictures, although it was planned quite quickly and you just literally got on your bikes and did it, the response from the public as well as the rugby community was amazing. how much of a comfort has that been for you and jo?—

so think of an emotion, a line and the situation, and i'm looking for all the character stuff within that. surannejones doesn'tjust have the title of theatre president. today, she's holding a drama workshop. i wanted to be hands on, and i wanted to help promote. and yeah, i wanted to make sure i had time to do it properly. is it good for you to give something back? being with a group of kids or aspiring actors who are really hungry for knowledge, and also that can be really surprising in groups, gives me a lot, so we're all learning. as we know she has presence on stage and holds an audience. it's been really helpful, actually, especially from someone who's in the industry as well, because i'm doing a—level drama. so any help is good help, isn't it? oh, it's amazing, i've - learned so much from her. she's such an inspiration and it's really like inspired me to carry. on with acting in the future. surannejones is known for her performance in vigil, the bbc�*s tense police drama.

she won a bafta in 2016 for best actress for her portrayal of a gp in the tv drama doctor foster, and she's just presented channel four�*s investigating witch trials. if it was the last moment i was to live, god knows i am innocent. what i wanted to do was set up my own company so that i could make programmes that were important to me, and investigating witch trials was our first documentary and something that i've always loved. we've just been commissioned for two dramas, so i think drama is where my heart lies. what's your advice for children who want to be actors? because it's just about getting that break, isn't it? it's about social skills, it's about confidence. and i think if you're happy and you have a love for creativity, then you'll find your success. in our modern world, she wants us to remember the magic of theatre. it's a really important part of how we grow.

and i would love, i'd love us to find a way to promote small theatres, small stories more. that's, that's my kind of big challenge. sheringham little theatre hopes with surannejones front of house it won't only raise the curtain, but also their profile. debbie tubby, bbc news. they were loving having her there. brilliant. carol has the weather for us this morning. and it is a morning of extremes across the country, isn't it? it certainly mixed, for some of us it is sunny, for some of it is a cloudy and dank and murky, i can show that in the weather watcher has. this is a beautiful picture sentin has. this is a beautiful picture sent in from newquay, blue sky, sun is out, not feeling too bad. in west crawley, we have a lot of cloud and some drizzly, murky conditions.

today's weather will brighten up and it will not be as hot as it has been for some. the rest of the week is looking cooler, some rain at times but equally some sunshine, especially into the weekend. there is a chance more so on sunday, we could see a front flirt with the north—west of scotland which could produce some showery outbreaks of rain or some showers, thejury is out. the pollen levels today are moderate or high more or less across the board. starting off with all of that cloud, some of it low cloud, mist, murk, drizzle, and also some patchy light rain. through the day we will start to see that break—up, the sun comes out, the temperature rises, and that could spark a few showers in the south. brightening up for south—west england, wales, northern england and much of scotland. after sunny start in northern ireland, the cloud will spread out through the afternoon, some of it getting into western scotland, the wind will pick up and

we will see some showers ahead of a weather front arriving. temperatures, 15 to 24 but in any prolonged spells of sunshine, we could see up to 26. through the evening and overnight there will be some cloud left behind, some clear skies and our weather front romps some cloud left behind, some clear skies and our weatherfront romps in from the atlantic, bringing in some heavy and persistent rain in scotland and northern ireland, and that will be in north—west england by the end of the night. a fair bit of cloud across wales and south—west england producing some drizzle, these are the overnight lows, so a little bit milder in the north, cooler in the south than last night. so we start tomorrow with our weather front, so we start tomorrow with our weatherfront, it'sjust so we start tomorrow with our weather front, it's just very slowly pushing southwards, and you can see from the spacing and the isobars, it's going to be a blustery day across england and wales, in particular as windy as yesterday. rain is drifting across northern ireland, northern england and in three parts of wales. to the south

of that, a mixture of bright spells and sunny, showers could be blustery north of that. 15 to 26. into friday, the front makes it into the far south of england, still open to question as to how quickly it will clear, it could linger in the south—east and channel islands. a of the dry weather behind, blustery showers in the north and west and these are the tip tryst, —— temperatures, 25 to 14. and then dry over the weekend. team gb women's sprint gold medallists katy marchant and sophie capewell, and bmx rider beth shriever, are at a community event in manchester today to encourage people to take up cycling and talk openly about their mental health. before we speak to them, let's take a look back at their olympicjourney.

great britain looking for the best three laps of their entire life to claim the gold medal here. so, shriever looking very powerful, straight out of the gate. katie marchant, straining every single new to set every sinew to set the table for the other two. the pace of beth shriever here is absolutely breathtaking. i've loved every single second being here. sometimes it can't always go to plan, that'sjust life. i gave my all into this. sophie capewell, has she got the speed? to get over the line first, she has, and it's a world record! won by great britain's women. olympic champions and new world record holders as well. it was the perfect performance under pressure. the ride of a lifetime.
