was covered in ice. good morning. is it the end of the saturdayjob? new figures show the number of working teenagers has halved in the last 20 years. i'll have the details. after three months, the premier league is back tonight — with manchester united hosting fulham. their rivals, manchester city, begin the defence of their title on sunday, as they go in search of an unprecedented 5th successive league trophy. and good morning. some early when to clear away from the south east. for most of us are fine and dry daily sunshine. a few blustery showers over scotland. all the details for today and the weekend throughout the programme. it's friday 16th august. five people have been charged in the united states over the death

of the friends star, matthew perry. the 54—year—old actor was found dead in a hot tub at his home in los angeles last year. a post—mortem examination found a high concentration of ketamine in his blood. prosecutors now say two doctors were part of a criminal network supplying him with the drug. our los angeles correspondent, emma vardy, has more. hey, i got you a present! oh my goodness, where did you hide it? to fans, matthew perry, best known as chandler bing, was the funny characterfrom friends, who'd made no secret of his flaws. he'd struggled with drugs and alcohol throughout his career. i'm in control of the first drink, and so i do all these things to protect myself from not having the first drink. sure. at the time of his death, he was said to have been undergoing therapy for depression — taking small doses of ketamine. but when he was found in the jacuzzi at his home, the levels of the drug in his body were much higher. the five people facing charges are alleged to be part of a criminal network, supplying the drug, including two doctors, who used

the actor say law enforcement as a way to make money. these defendants took advantage of mr perry's addiction issues to enrich themselves. they knew what they were doing was wrong. were doing was risking great danger to mr perry, but they did it anyways. the desperation that led perry to these individuals was not met with help, as it should have been from the doctors, but instead it was met with exploitation — exploitation by those who should have guided him toward help. matthew, right here first. thank you _ matthew perry was charged 2,000 for a dose of ketamine worth around $12. the doctors are accused of acquiring the drug and falsifying medical records — one of them writing in a text, "i wonder how much this moron will pay." and matthew perry's personal assistant has admitted injecting him on the day he died. investigators say while looking into the actor's death,

they uncovered a drug supply network, involving a dealer known as the ketamine queen in hollywood, and say that other suspects in connection with the operation are continuing to be investigated. emma vardy, bbc news. you have more on the contaminated blood scandal. details of the compensation to be paid to victims of the infected blood scandal have been set out today. more than 30,000 people in the uk were infected with hiv and hepatitis c after being given contaminated blood products in the 1970s and 1980s. some individuals could receive up to £2.5 million. our health editor, hugh pym, reports. they'd called for years for truth and justice, and campaigners who gathered in may to mark the publication of the public inquiry report felt that had been delivered. it said the scale of the scandal was horrifying and that doctors,

the nhs and government had repeatedly failed patients. today, more details of the final compensation package have been published. payments to those infected will start by the end of this year and to those affected, including families, some time next year. existing support schemes will continue as well as compensation. about 3,000 people so far have been in touch with the official body running the scheme, but it's not clear how many will claim. it's important that the support schemes do continue because that gives financial security to our community and it is an important recognition of past loss. it's separate compensation because compensation is a recognition of the damage that was inflicted on the whole community through treatment given to them by the nhs. earlier plans from the government have been assessed by the head of a new compensation authority sir robert francis. he's backed most

of them and suggested changes. these include extra payments to those who were subjected to scientific trials without consent. that was what happened to some pupils at the special school treloar�*s in hampshire, which had a unit to care for haemophiliacs. they'll receive £15,000 extra as well as compensation, but they say that's not nearly enough. i think the £15,000 proposed award is both derogatory and insulting, not only to the children that are still alive, the young adults that died, but also theirfamilies. um, i really do. there aren't really... there aren't really words. i just can't believe it, none of us can. and those infected with hepatitis c, or who lost loved ones because of the virus are concerned at earlier suggestions their compensation would be a lot less than those infected with hiv. no update on that has yet been announced. ministers said it was an important milestone for victims

and campaigners, and everything possible would be done to deliver compensation quickly. campaigners, though, will be anxious to see more of the detail. hugh pym, bbc news. dozens of israeli settlers have set fire to houses and cars in a palestinian village in the occupied west bank, killing at least one person and seriously injuring others. israeli political leaders — including the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu — have condemned the violence. the settlers — some wearing masks — were armed with batons, rocks and molotov cocktails as they descended on the village ofjit. two people have been charged with terrorism offences following an investigation by the met�*s counter terrorism command. 18—year—old rex william henry clark, from ilford in east london, and 19—year—old sofija vinogradova, from cheshunt in hertfordshire, will appear at westminster magistrates�* court today. 0nline safety campaigners are accusing whatsapp of failing

to stop the spread of child sexual abuse images. citing the recent case of the disgraced bbc broadcaster huw edwards, who accessed indecent images of children on the app, the internet watch foundation said more safeguards should be introduced. whatsapp insists it has robust measures in place to prevent and detect abuse. sweden's public health agency says it has recorded the first case of a contagious new variant of mpox outside africa. 0vernight, officials in pakistan have also detected three people arriving into the country, who have the virus. earlier this week, the world health organization declared mpox a global public health emergency for the second time in two years — this, after an outbreak in the democratic republic of congo spread to other countries. 0ur reporter, simon jones, has the latest. in the democratic republic of congo, the country hardest hit, public health campaigns are under way to warn people of the dangers of mpox.

0riginally known as monkeypox, it's transmitted through close contact, such as sex, skin—to—skin contact or breathing close to another person. it causes flu—like symptoms and skin lesions. they often clear up within a couple of weeks, but mpox can be fatal, particularly for people with weakened immune systems. translation: three of my children and i were infected. _ one was treated here and the other two were taken to hospital. after two weeks, they were discharged. a week later, my wife was infected. now, a case of the more dangerous strain of mpox has been recorded in sweden. the authorities say the person became infected during a stay in an area of africa where there is currently a major outbreak. it is very probable that we will see more cases in europe in the near...close time, so it's important for all countries to be aware that this can happen.

there have been a50 deaths in the democratic republic of congo following an outbreak of the new strain. it's also been detected in neighbouring countries, including the central african republic, uganda, kenya, rwanda and burundi. the surge of mpox in the democratic republic of the congo and a growing number of countries in africa constitutes a public health emergency of international concern. who is warning also about the potential of this mpox virus to spread further across countries in africa, and possibly outside the continent. dr meera chand, from the uk health security agency, said... 0utbreaks can be controlled by preventing infections with vaccines. the uk government says it has stockpiles as part

of its preparedness plans. the world health organization says a coordinated international response is now vital. simon jones, bbc news. the duke and duchess of sussex have arrived in colombia for the first stop of a four—day tour of the south american country. prince harry and meghan were invited by the country's vice—president, francia marquez, for what has been dubbed a "diy royal tour". 0ur south america correspondent, ione wells, has more details. prince harry and meghan are no longer working royals. but, as their first visit to latin america shows, when on tour, they still get a majestic welcome. they're here in colombia as guests of the country's vice president, francia marquez, the first black woman to hold that role. for both parties, this visit is about sharing ideas to protect children from harm online. they met children at this school before discussing solutions with activists and experts too. prince harry and meghan have spoken openly about attacks

they've faced on social media. colombia's vice president said she, too, had faced discrimination since she was a child. for both parties, this is also about publicity with the couple and government only allowing their own personal videographers into some events. prince harry and meghan hope to promote their campaigns to make the internet a safer place and maintain their influence and visibility on the world stage. they still attract meetings with global leaders. for the government here, it's publicity too, ahead of elections next year. the sussexes have said they fear doing similar high—profile events back in the uk after suffering threats online and no longer receiving the government—funded security they did as working royals. this second overseas tour in just a few months leaves many wondering if international campaigning is where their focus is turning. ione wells, bbc news in bogota. here's sarah with a

look at the weather. good morning. we have had some pretty heavy rain yesterday and overnight. it is mostly clearing away. this is the picture in axbridge. sunshine after the rain. for much of the uk, it is looking fine and dry. it will not feel as blustery and wintry as yesterday. still a few blustery showers working in. —— and windy. in parts of kent and sussex still rain which will clear away. and sussex still rain which will clearaway. for and sussex still rain which will clear away. for most of us long spells of sunshine and a bit of cloud drifting around. still blustery showers in the far north—west. temperatures generally in the high teens across scotland and northern ireland. pretty much where we would expect temperatures to be at this time in august. this

evening and overnight still blustery showers in the north. lighter winds and clearer skies. cooler than recently temperatures in rural parts of england and wales can be down to six, 7 degrees. plenty of sunshine from the word go. if you have plans for the weekend, this is how things are looking. a lot of dry unsettled weather with sunshine. there could be one or two isolated showers but most places try and fine. temperatures mid—teens to mid 20s north to south. another fine and dry day for most of us on sunday. a few showers coming in in north—western areas. try a further south. temperatures not doing too badly for the time of year, mid—teens to mid 20s. the time of year, mid—teens to mid 205. i the time of year, mid-teens to mid 205. ~ . the time of year, mid-teens to mid 205. ~' ., ., , the time of year, mid-teens to mid 205. ~ ., ., , , 205. i like what i am seeing. feels like summer- _ 205. i like what i am seeing. feels like summer. see _ 205. i like what i am seeing. feels like summer. see you _ 205. i like what i am seeing. feels like summer. see you later. - police are always looking for different ways to tackle knife crime — and the devastating impact it can

have on communities. a new team has been formed in bristol to do just that and our west of england correspondent, danjohnson, has been spending some time with them. really shocking things when you see them out working.— really shocking things when you see them out working. absolutely. some ofthe them out working. absolutely. some of the impact — them out working. absolutely. some of the impact of _ them out working. absolutely. some of the impact of the _ knife crime is shocking and some of the work the police are doing is fascinating. bristol has seen a spike of teenage knife crime over the last p months in particular. —— few months. the ministry ofjustice has released its latest sentencing figures for knife and weapon offences, which show that the overall number in england and wales have decreased. over the 12 months ending march this year, the number of cases dealt with was over 18,500 — that's a small drop of 3% compared to the year before. however, that figure is still up overall by 13% over the past decade. and there's been a significant rise of offences involving those aged between ten and 17 over

the last ten years. in bristol, a new police team was established earlier this year after the death of three teenagers in the space of three weeks. and the wounding of others. i've been out with them to see how the city is responding to this problem. that's the car, the grey one. yeah, we got a car, but it's been covering space up. you're about to see the sort of weapons carried by some young people. the grey car full of teenagers has refused to stop for police. stay where you are! stay where you are, all of you. get your hands out now! now! weapon out! weapon found. everyone hands where we can see them. step away from the car park. —— step away from the car. i'm on my way. that's come from inside the vehicle.

there's a girl... hop out the car, love. ..and fouryoung men, all between 16 and 18. 0k, next time you're under arrest for possession of a bladed article in a public place. it's 11:30 on a wednesday morning. officers have just stopped this car in a bristol suburb. they have searched it and retrieved these enormous knives. no—one's out with balaclavas and zombie knives with good intentions, are they? so do you think stopping them today, seizing those knives could have really stopped something more serious? —— could have at least stopped something more serious? absolutely. yeah. that's the whole point in doing this. there is no upside. there's no positive. no—one wins. and then that poor decision in a split second can ruin the rest of their life, it could ruin the rest of the other person's life. here's one life lost at 19. nobody�*s been charged with stabbing eddie kinuthia last summer, despite arrests. so his family's left with his last desperate moments, bleeding to death on the street in the arms of his mother. when i got there and i saw him, um, the look on his face of,

like, just shock, like just that panicked look on his face. i kept telling him to stay awake and he tried. he really tried because i kept telling him, help is coming. you know, the thing that i struggle most with is wanting to go back. if we can do it again, and i can do it better. and there's grief across this city. after a surge of teenage knife crime costing young lives in both blood and prison sentences. morning. we'll talk about the children that are linked to the murder of darrian williams. that will be the agenda for today's briefing. and this is the team sworn to protect young people from a life of violence and the criminal exploitation so often behind it. has he spoken to his mum and dad

since he's been missing? he spoke to his mum yesterday at midday. it's the first time one of these weekly meetings has been filmed. what do you say to the people who may be a bit more, "look, these kids know what they're getting into." i think it is really important to understand each individual person because we don't know what's happened in that person's life — that child's life. a lot of our children have trauma, and it's really important that we understand that because actually putting a child in prison is not the answer. it's not the solution because they'll come out of prison. so what then? what one do you normally have? do you want a... ..full face? full of brains, that's why. try and push that one down. is that all right? this is mostly about teenage boys, as victims or perpetrators — sometimes both. but here they know it starts so much younger. there's as young as six or seven—year—olds carrying knives. and i think fear is the main factor why they're carrying a knife. when you think of a seven, eight—year—old, you think

of a young person who's got innocence, you know? and i think at the moment we're seeing young people losing that innocence from such a young age. whether they take to the saddle... how are you doing, mate? ..or the barber's seat. here, open, honest conversations are encouraged. but what makes you not want to be able to go out? i just don't feel safe outside. yeah. i feel more safe inside of my house, not outside. and when you come here, do you feel safe? ijust can have a nice time without having many worries about anything bad happening. have you been shocked by some of what you've seen? yeah, the scale and size of the weapons is horrifying and the traumatic nature of the injuries. young people and children are more concerned about being caught without a knife by someone that might wish them harm than they are more concerned about being caught by police with a knife and being arrested. i think we just need to tip that balance the other way. but there are no simple answers to this complex issue. why are you driving around with a knife like that?

"don't know." you're carrying it. why? "don't know, mate." "so i'm not the odd one out, maybe." so why carry it? "i'm into knives, innit? i like the way they look and that." weapons are seized, arrests follow. this 16—year—old for possessing a knife. so too the 18—year—old who was driving without a licence or insurance — their fate is still to be determined. and the bereaved also want answers. we're still waiting forjustice and we're still waiting for somebody to be responsible. but then being stuck on that day, going over and over it frequently and just wanting a different outcome. do you have hope you will getjustice one day? i do, i really do. i'm never giving up. i miss him, i miss his hugs. i miss, like, his laughter, you know? imiss...

i miss dancing with him. eddie's story sums up this city's challenge. but knife crime and its impact reaches further, and it needs much wider solutions. just reflect a little bit, a very interesting story. that moment, we saw a car pulled over and use all those weapons unveiled. and the accounts of those young people gave for what they are doing. give us a sense of what it felt like to see those weapons in public, as it were. it was surreal, the first day of filming. 11 o'clock on a wednesday morning. we thought, why are they coming out at this time? surely you need to be out on a friday or saturday night. within an hour of filming they stopped the machete,

the zombie knife and the kids who came out of that car as well, they are 16, 17. when the knife is out of the hand they are awkward teenagers. it seems out of place. each almost pathetic youngsters who were embarrassing almost trying to be cocky in front of the officers. they were armed with something so dangerous, it doesn't make sense. people will be curious to know what happens. that has happened and it has been discovered and there are five people in the car. what happens next? , ., ~ ., . , ., , next? they were taken into custody while the police _ next? they were taken into custody while the police process _ next? they were taken into custody while the police process that. - next? they were taken into custody while the police process that. the l while the police process that. the three in the back of the car were arrested straightaway. the youngster i had that exchange with about why he was driving around with something like that, they had been released and are on bail and the police are deciding what to do. talking to the officers, they say, it might be

difficult. we pulled two horrible noise from the car but proving which of the five in the car had possession of it is a different issue. whether it will blow on and result in a kind of thing you might expect. we are told everyone who pulled a knife goes to prison. they are trying to avoid sentencing juveniles. police need to tackle this effectively and take knives of the streets without criminalising people are making the problem worse and getting blowback from communities when they take this sort of action out on the street. knife crime is prevalent _ of action out on the street. knife crime is prevalent around - of action out on the street. knife crime is prevalent around the - of action out on the street. knife crime is prevalent around the uk. why focus on bristol? what is going on with this team?— on with this team? bristol doesn't have the worst — on with this team? bristol doesn't have the worst problem _ on with this team? bristol doesn't have the worst problem but - on with this team? bristol doesn't have the worst problem but it - on with this team? bristol doesn't| have the worst problem but it does have the worst problem but it does have a significant spate of teenage stabbings and murders particularly over the last year. we have reported on cases of people being stabbed to death. there was a shocking spell at

the start of this year when a 15—year—old and 16—year—old were stabbed and then gary and williams died a week later. children dying from those weapons. police recognising there is an issue and the police and city authorities have responded with this new team and new approach which does seem to have calmed things down. they were worried the summer holidays might inflame things again but things seem manageable at the moment. they know it is a huge challenge, notjust for bristol. b. it is a huge challenge, not 'ust for bristol. �* . ,. . , let's take a look at today's papers. "gps are next in line for pm's cash handout" is the headline in the telegraph. the paper says gps are asking the government for a 10.7% increase in funding for surgeries after the british medical association threatened to bring the nhs to a "standstill" with strike action. "so much for an economic crisis!" reads the headline in the daily mail, which is among a number of papers to lead

on the news that the uk economy grew by 0.6% between april and june. the guardian reports that the a—level results highlighted a growing divide between the strongest and weakest performing parts of the country. the paper says parts of the north of england still lag far behind the south—east, while private schools also continue to outperform state schools. a quick look at the papers for you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, and welcome to viewers in the south east. a nine—year—old girl who was killed after being hit by a bus in bexleyheath has been named by police. ada bicakci was struck on watling street on the 3rd of august and died in hospital. the bus driver has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury through dangerous driving and drug—driving. the scrappage scheme for vehicles that don't meet ultra low emission zone standards is to close in three weeks' time.

transport for london said almost 511,000 successful applicants have been given money to scrap older, more—polluting vehicles. the last day to apply for the scheme is the 7th of september. two teenagers are due to appear before magistrates in westminster after being charged by police investigating right—wing extremism. rex clark — who's 18 and from east london, and sofija vinogradova — who's 19 and from cheshunt in hertfordshire — are accused of the preparation of terrorist acts. a student from surrey who has a life—threatening allergy is calling on the government to implement a new law which would force restaurants to publish allergy information on menus. 17—year—old max is backing 0wen�*s law — it's named after 0wen carey, from east sussex, who died from an allergic reaction after eating chicken containing buttermilk, despite telling staff he was allergic to dairy. when i first came across it,

i thought that this proposal for a new law would really make an impact and kind of avoid that sometimes lack of awareness by restaurant staff for the seriousness of allergies. and i think it would really help to inform the customer more and really be able to help them feel much safer about what they're eating, always. part of the piccadilly line will close for two weeks for major upgrade work. sevices at king's cross, wood green, uxbridge and cockfosters will be impacted from tomorrow. there will also be reduced number of trains on the rest of the line. travel now, and let's see how the tubes are faring. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, there, good morning. well, after what was a mild, muggy night with cloud and outbreaks of rain, there's still some lingering cloud this morning with a few showers around, but it does become drier and sunnier as the day progresses. the showers will be isolated mainly further towards more eastern parts, but by the afternoon, sunshine, fair—weather cloud,

and temperatures widely reaching the low to mid 20s. and the winds will be lighter than yesterday, as well. a fine evening to come — late spells of sunshine, largely clear skies overnight. light winds — there may be some patches of mist and fog forming — but a fresher night compared with last night — temperatures dipping to around ten to 15 celsius in the city centre. as we look ahead to the weekend, then — well, plenty of fine, dry weather with high pressure remaining in charge. the winds will be light on saturday, some good spells of sunshine. maybe a bit more in the way of cloud in places on sunday. so it does remain fine, dry and settled throughout the weekend, with temperatures widely reaching around the mid—20s — although there may be some mist and fog first thing on sunday morning, but that should soon clear to some sunny spells, as well. there's more on our website including the surprise guest at last night's taylor swift concert. that's it — i'm back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with

naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good naga munchetty and charlie stayt. morning to you. that good morning to you. saturdayjob, that phrase, the extra bit of work that phrase, the extra bit of work that you do when you are younger, part time to get a bit of extra cash. the latest statistics show that compared to the time that their parents with the same age, that saturday job parents with the same age, that saturdayjob is out of fashion with teenagers to date. ben saturday job is out of fashion with teenagers to date.— teenagers to date. ben has been lookin: at teenagers to date. ben has been looking at this. _ teenagers to date. ben has been looking at this. it _ teenagers to date. ben has been looking at this. it is _ teenagers to date. ben has been looking at this. it is a _ teenagers to date. ben has been looking at this. it is a generic - looking at this. it is a generic term, saturdayjob. could be a bit of work you do sort of outside of school or college or whatever. {guild school or college or whatever. could be before school, _ school or college or whatever. could be before school, after—school, the weekend. some will have very fond memories their part—time job, some perhaps less so. let me talk you through the trends we are seeing. good morning. working while at school or college is to be more common amongst teenagers. baby—sitting, paper round, working in a cafe or shop as a way to earn a bit of extra money. back in 1998, about half of all 16 and 17—year—olds had some form of

employment, eitherfull or part—time. now, 25 years on, that has halved with under a quarter having a job and the number of child employment permits issued by local authorities, which businesses need to employ under 16 is also steadily decreasing. the question is, what is behind the decline. here's lizzie from the chartered institute of personnel and development. the evidence exists that young people are focusing more on the academic qualifications rather than gaining work experience. this is of some concern because we also know there are clear protective benefits from combining education and work, so likely to reduce your future likelihood of being unemployed and lead to overall increases in lifetime earnings. some of the uk's leading entrepreneurs have said that having a job early was key to their development and their latest success

and many organisations that work with teenagers say they are not necessarily more work—shy than previous generations, theyjust need an opportunity. teenagers are actually very easy to persuade to be ready for work. theyjust need to be given the opportunity. and the reality of it is that those young people do want to work, but they've been set false expectations, and we need to change that. and we need to work to be able to support small businesses in particular, that give these saturdayjob opportunities. we have been out and about in manchester asking people about their first saturday jobs. my first saturdayjob was being a kp in the back of a pub, and it was... it was horrible. it was hell in there. it was hot, sweaty, dirty. just food flying at me left, right and centre. and i was working for £4 an hour and could barely survive,

to be honest. i hated it. sorry about that, but i did. it was just purely to save up, to go with the youth club, to, um... how old would i be? 16 at the time, yeah, to save up, to go to italy. as soon as i had enough money, i left. i was doing a lot of cleaning, a lot of brew—making, - um, a lot of the jobs which the adults - didn't want to do. i was there for ten hours every saturday — 9.00 till 7.00 - every saturday — - for...a year and a half. and then when i was fully out of school, i got - an apprenticeship at the gym i which i was at, so it was a good thing that i got that saturdayjob. some interesting comments. character forming, perhaps. we would like to hear from you. forming, perhaps. we would like to hearfrom you. did forming, perhaps. we would like to hear from you. did you have a part—timejob or perhaps hear from you. did you have a part—time job or perhaps a full—time job while you are studying because my do your children have a weekend job question why do you think they should? any teenagers up early, do you have a job at the weekend, during the holidays question are you perhaps looking for one? what ever your experience, get in touch. all

hasn't been terribly long since we have seen football because we had the euro there an echo ofjune and july, the olympics, football in the olympics from july to august. 0lympics from july to august. but tonight the premier league is back. manchester city won the title on may the 22nd and they'll be hoping to get their season off to a flying start when they take on chelsea at stamford bridge on sunday. city going, of course, for an unprecedented fifth english title in a row. but the red half of manchester isn't having such a good time. manchester united get the season under way against fulham at old trafford later. fulham say they've lost several first—team players ahead of the new season. united have brought in new signings matthijs de ligt and noussair mazraoui. they'll be in the squad tonight — but manager erik ten hag says he feels his side are underprepared. the team is not ready but, yeah, the league starts and there are more managers to deal with this problem.

we definitely have this problem. but still we have some rules, some principles. and we have to make a start. we can't hide ourselves. we can't run away from it. so, yeah, we have to deal with it. probably we are the only team that is going to compete - in premier league that lost three or four senior and starting 11- players — probably don't find another team that lost four. starting 11 players. and we have to rebuild, - we have to go, we are confident. we have a lot of work to do - in the next two weeks and a half - until the end of the market because we need it, _ but we are confident. st mirren�*s european adventure has ended, following a difficult night and defeat in norway. sk brann were 3—1winners in the second leg of the third round qualifier for the conference league — meaning they beat st mirren 11—2 on aggregate. a different story, though, for kilmarnock who have qualified for the conference league play—offs with a win over tromso — also in norway. these were the jubilant

scenes at full—time. joe wright scored the all—important goal in a 1—0 win in last night's second leg. the 3—2 aggregate victory sets up a winner—takes—all match against banik or copenhagen for a place in the group stages. hungary's blanka vas won the fifth stage of the women's tour de france femme as her dutch team—mate demi vollering lost the race leader's yellow jersey after being caught up in a big crash. it happened with just six kilometres to go, involving ten riders including vollering, and it reduced the peloton in the run to amneville in northeastern france. poland's katarzyna niewiadoma finished second behind the winner vas to take the race leader's yellow jersey from the defending champion vollering, who dropped to ninth overall. british rider alice towers is 20 minutes behind in 101st place. back to the premier league...

manchester united host fulham tonight but newly promoted ipswich town are playing tomorrow against liverpool. it town are playing tomorrow against liverool. . town are playing tomorrow against liverool. , ., , liverpool. it is always the new stories, rejuvenated _ liverpool. it is always the new stories, rejuvenated teams, i liverpool. it is always the new i stories, rejuvenated teams, that make these big stories ahead of the season starting and mike has spoken to some lovely fans are really excited. so as we heard there, fans of the 20 clubs that make up the premier league are eagerly awaiting the chance to see their teams compete as the new season kicks off. supporters of ipswich town have been waiting longer than most. it's been more than 20 years since the club played in england's top flight and the excitement is building, as mike found out. music: baba 0'riley by the who. ipswich town back in the big time. rekindling memories of their glory days, when they were one of english football's powerhouses — the late 1970s and the fa cup — european silverware just a few years later.

the blue and white of ipswich on the trophy for the first time. and now the class of �*24 has found its voice — inspired by their most famous fan, ed sheeran. # we've got super kieran mckenna... not many players celebrate winning promotion to the premier league by going on a night with a global superstar. and while, yes, he's helped put his beloved club back on the world stage, above all else, he's just one of the fans. it's notjust, like, big league games you see him, and now we're going into the prem — you see him at, like... you know, colchester away in the cup sort of thing, and it's. . . it's incredible. and, you know, i've been there in the north stand and everyone goes, "0h, ed sheeran�*s in the stand," and then you turn round and you go, "ed!" and he goes, "whey!" and it's the best thing ever. so it's... you know, having someone local who's kind of made it, it's the best thing. because he's still one of us,

he's wearing the jersey, you know, when he's on tour and stuff like that, it's incredible. # and we won the fa cup. # we support the ipswich... when you've waited 22 years, you're going to want to make a song and dance about it. promotion back to the premier league, and there is so much excitement in the build—up to the big kick—off across the town — especially in the pubs, where fans are joined by ex—players — even those from the european glory days. it was just good fun. i had a lovely gentleman came across the car park a minute ago and just said, you know, "thanks for all the good days we had," you know. and i said, "but i was just playing football with my mates," you know, and that's what it was — you played football with very good friends, it was very competitive. uh... and it was... it was a bit of a giggle. yes, there's been a demise over the last 20—odd years, but we're back — we're back in the premier league. and a whole generation has missed out on premier league football,

with the club dropping for several seasons into the third tier. it's the first time i've seen ipswich in the premier league — it's amazing, especially after the seasons in league one, you know. couldn't ask for more. it'sjust, like, amazing, isn't it? and, like, just to be living, present — like, as it's - happening, it's so cool. a lot of people thought i was absolutely crazy going to watch, you know, fleetwood at home and accrington stanley away. but now it's going to be liverpool at home and man city away. it's... it's like the old days, you know, when i was growing up. it never even crossed my mind ipswich wouldn't be in the top division. ed sheeran�*s investment and sponsorship of the shirts with his latest tour branding, combined with the support and work of the club's american owners, watered and nourished the roots of recovery. and reaching the promised land is already paying off, bringing the whole of suffolk together behind the club again. this is erin, 12 weeks old. ipswich's youngest fan. impact is massive — you know, you really see that through your shirt sales. shirt sales are an indication of how supporters are engaging with the club. around four years ago we were selling 10,000 a season. last year, 60,000.

this year we'll be on course for 100,000 shirts, whichjust shows that engagement is really strong now with our supporters. young george burley stylish at fullback. i it's an especially poignant moment for george burley — who, as part of the fa cup—winning team in 1978, and who managed the club for many years, but was unable to save it from relegation 22 years ago. he now believes the club has helped the town find its soul again. everybody wants to go and watch ipswich play. everybody. when i take the dog for a walk in the morning in the park, they want to talk about football. three or four years, that wasn't the case, but now it's really gave the town a big lift. the town's going to be full of people from abroad coming to games. everybody wants tickets. so it's a very exciting time. the dressing room is normallyjust a place for team talks, but ipswich's players know from last season that a famous victory now in the premier league will most likely mean a sing—along with ed again. mike bushell, bbc news, ipswich. # what it was. # i will not give you up...

the likes of essex and kent. a bit of cloud left in the south—east as the cloud clears but for most lots of long spells of sunshine, still some blustery showers pushing in for the western isles and parts of the highlands, as well. sunny elsewhere for scotland and northern ireland and long spells of sunshine for many central parts of britain. temperatures up to 25, possibly 26 in the warmest spot but typically the high teens to mid 20s today. through this evening we still have some showers coming in from the north—west. you will notice we will see high levels of pollen across parts of england and wales. blustery conditions continue through tonight, winds blowing across parts of scotland and northern ireland, just bringing the other shower here but clear spells and lighter winds in the south and that is the recipe for quite a fresh night, not as warm and muqqy quite a fresh night, not as warm and muggy as it has been overnight recently. we could see 6 or 7 degrees for more rural parts of england and wales to kick off your weekend but there will be plenty of sunshine because weather fronts are out of the way by the time we get to

tomorrow, sitting down across the near continent, a ridge of high pressure building it. a bit of a westerly influence to our weather through the course of the weekend. still a few showers moving in from western parts of scotland, perhaps one or two for northern ireland and wales, but for the bulk of the uk are largely dry picture tomorrow. long spells of sunshine, the best of which will be across east anglia and the south—east, a bit more clouds drifting elsewhere but a pleasant sort of day, 15 to 2a degrees top similar picture into sunday, we have the breeze coming in from the west and that could bring a few showers, particularly for the north—west of scotland. perhaps if you into north—west england, as well. for most, anotherfine north—west england, as well. for most, another fine and north—west england, as well. for most, anotherfine and dry north—west england, as well. for most, another fine and dry day and we will see temperatures up to about 25 degrees or so for the warmest spots in the south—east. typically high teens or low 20s which will feel quite pleasant. it all changes into next week as high pressure starts to clear to the east. low pressure moves in from the west. that sets us up for a bit more unsettled, probably another one day

for many on monday, especially in the south—east but then a return to something more unsettled and slightly cooler into next week. keeping the best of the sunshine always to the south. the most, the weekend looks fine and settled. sarah, thank you, we will see you later. tens of thousands of rail passengers who were prosecuted and fined for fare evasion are due to be refunded after a judge ruled six test cases were void. several train companies could face paying out millions of pounds to people after they privately prosecuted them for travelling without a ticket under the controversial singlejustice procedure — despite not being permitted to do so. up to 711,000 people are thought to be affected. we're joined now by the travel journalist simon calder. rather appropriately you are at euston station. there is a lot of legal detail. do you want to go through the basics about why the prosecutions cannot stand? yes. through the basics about why the prosecutions cannot stand? yes, i shau prosecutions cannot stand? yes, i shallt prosecutions cannot stand? yes, i shall try t0- _ prosecutions cannot stand? yes, i shall try to. single _ prosecutions cannot stand? yes, i

for example, people have written in letters of mitigation. they might have said all the ticket machines were broken and i went and tried to find the guard but there wasn't one or i couldn't find him or her and therefore i don't think i should pay this. therefore, people were effectively find without their case properly having been heard which is roughly what the chief magistrate was saying stop then he said you are going to have to do, addressing the six railway companies, such as avante west six railway companies, such as ava nte west coast, trans six railway companies, such as avante west coast, trans pennine express, northern, greateranglia, great western and merseyrail, you are going to have to treat this as though it's never happened. you have to go and find the people who have paid these fines and hand them back the money and their convictions will be quashed, as well.— be quashed, as well. simon, good morninu. be quashed, as well. simon, good morning- what — be quashed, as well. simon, good morning. what does _ be quashed, as well. simon, good morning. what does this - be quashed, as well. simon, good morning. what does this mean - be quashed, as well. simon, good i morning. what does this mean about fare dodging overall? it is not a

if that happens and the standard penalty of course went up last year from £20 to £100 for not having a ticket. that is the thing that i think most fare dodging is dealt with. if you pay within three weeks then you only pay £50 for that, but so many different ways, as you know, to buy a ticket these days, it would be a terrible shame if anybody didn't. . ~' be a terrible shame if anybody didn't. ., ~ , ., ,., be a terrible shame if anybody didn't. ., ~ i. . didn't. indeed. thank you so much. simon calder— didn't. indeed. thank you so much. simon calder at _ didn't. indeed. thank you so much. simon calder at euston _ didn't. indeed. thank you so much. simon calder at euston station. - it's known as "snowball earth" — the longest and deepest ice age in our planet's history. exactly how it came about has long been a mystery — but a small group of scottish islands may have just given scientists the key to understanding it. the garvellach islands, in the inner hebrides in the west of scotland, offer the best geological record of the earth's transition into an ice age 720 million years ago.

the findings could open the door to a better understanding of why it happened — and how it laid the groundwork for animal life to evolve here. 0ur science correspondent, pallab ghosh, has more. these tiny islands in the inner hebrides of scotland hold the key to how the first animal life emerged on earth hundreds of millions of years ago. each layer of this rock face in the garvellachs captures a snapshot of the planet's distant past. scientists have now dated fragments of the rock, and shown them to be from the only place in the world to have a detailed record of how our planet plunged into the most severe and prolonged ice age in our history. these tiny grains prove beyond any doubt that the garvellachs are the best and most complete record of a critical period in our history called snowball earth — when, for 80 million years, pretty much the entire planet was covered with ice.

if we wind back the calendar hundreds of millions of years, we see that scotland was in a completely different place, because the continents have moved over time. it was south of the earth's equator, and had a tropical climate until it — and the rest of the planet — became engulfed in ice. but then, something remarkable happened. after the melting of the snowball, we suddenly start to get bona fide modern—looking animals. it seems counter—intuitive that such a big freeze that could have prevented life was actually the spur to generate this explosion of life. after the snowball melted, of course, everything that had adapted to that and diversified in those specialist niches would have had to then compete with each other in some kind of arms race. geologists have been studying the rocks and the garvellachs for decades — first on foot, using the only

building on the island as a base, and more recently, using drones to create detailed computer—enhanced images of the rock layers. if the results are confirmed, these islands could be awarded a golden spike — that's an actual spike hammered in — to celebrate the location of a planet changing geological moment. so tell me what you're doing, elias — you're hammering in the golden... the golden spike. laughter. elias rugen imagines what it might be like to receive one of science's greatest accolades. it would be fantastic. golden spikes around the world are a reasonably big deal, as the previous one that was ratified was from 30 years ago, so it doesn't happen that often. do you think you'll get it? i'm hoping so. i think it's definitely the leading candidate. i don't think there's many other layers of rock and sections around the world that come close. so i'm quite confident, yeah. these are thejudges of the golden spike — a group of the world's leading

geologists on the scottish island, seeing for themselves what all the fuss is about. among the most influential of them is the secretary of the international subcommission on the era. scotland can get the golden spike. the chance is very high, based on the garvellach formation. presented, a great example — excellent example of the potential candidate of the golden spike. the researchers will find out next year whether they — and scotland — have won the golden spike. but in the meantime, they press on with their research, studying the rocks that hold the key to the emergence of the first complex life on earth. pallab ghosh, bbc news. there was a lot to learn in that piece, wasn't there? and the scenery on top of all the rest of it. taste piece, wasn't there? and the scenery on top of all the rest of it.— on top of all the rest of it. we are talkin: on top of all the rest of it. we are talking about _ on top of all the rest of it. we are talking about it _ on top of all the rest of it. we are talking about it later _ on top of all the rest of it. we are talking about it later with - on top of all the rest of it. we are talking about it later with an - talking about it later with an expert, so we will find out even

more. still to come on breakfast... we'll hear from the olympic champion, nathan hales, who stayed cool in a parisian heatwave — and won team gb's first shooting gold medal in 12 years. he's joining us at 7:50. i hope he has not left the medal at home. i still don't get over the thrill of seeing a medal on an olympian, whatever colour, they are so special and we will see him later. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london and welcome to viewers in the south east. a nine—year—old girl, who was killed after being hit by a bus in bexleyheath, has been named by police. ada bicakci was struck on watling street on 3rd of august and died in hospital. the bus driver has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury through dangerous driving and drug—driving.

the scrappage scheme for vehicles that don't meet ultra low emission zone standards is to close in three weeks' time. transport for london said almost 5a,000 successful applicants have been given money to scrap older, more polluting vehicles. the last day to apply for the scheme is the 7th of september. a student from surrey, who has a life—threatening allergy, is urging the government to implement a law forcing restaurants to publish allergy information on menus. max is backing owen's law. it's named after owen carey from east sussex, who died from an allergic reaction after eating chicken containing buttermilk, despite telling staff he was allergic to dairy. when i first came across it, i thought that this proposal for a new law would really make an impact and kind of avoid that sometimes lack of awareness by restaurant staff for the seriousness of allergies. and i think it would really help to inform the customer more and really be able to help them feel much safer about what they're eating, always.

a major change to the way drivers pay for parking at stations across the south east has been postponed. southeastern had planned to switch to an app or phone—based system. but some customers had expressed concerns, so the operator has decided to pause the move while it considers other options. parts of the piccadilly line will close for two weeks for major upgrade work. sevices at king's cross, wood green, uxbridge and cockfosters will be impacted from tomorrow. there will also be a reduced number of trains on the rest of the line. and let's see how the tubes are faring. now, onto the weather with kawser. hello, there, good morning. well, after what was a mild, muggy night with cloud and outbreaks of rain, there's still some lingering cloud this morning with a few showers around, but it does become drier and sunnier as the day progresses. the showers will be isolated mainly further towards more eastern parts, but by the afternoon, sunshine, fair—weather cloud, and temperatures widely

reaching the low to mid 20s. and the winds will be lighter than yesterday, as well. a fine evening to come — late spells of sunshine, largely clear skies overnight. light winds — there may be some patches of mist and fog forming — but a fresher night compared with last night — temperatures dipping to around ten to 15 celsius in the city centre. as we look ahead to the weekend, then — well, plenty of fine, dry weather with high pressure remaining in charge. the winds will be light on saturday, some good spells of sunshine. maybe a bit more in the way of cloud in places on sunday. so it does remain fine, dry and settled throughout the weekend, with temperatures widely reaching around the mid—20s — although there may be some mist and fog first thing on sunday morning, but that should soon clear to some sunny spells, as well. there's more on our website including the surprise guest at last night's taylor swift concert. that's it. i'm back in around half an hour.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... matthew perry's live—in assistant and two doctors are among five people charged following an investigation into the actor's death from a drugs overdose. victims of the infected blood scandal are told how the government will compensate them — for what's been described as the worse treatment disaster in the history of the nhs. inside the asylum hotel,

we speak to those being targetted by during rioting in rotherham last week. we feel all scared. we just must waiting and looking. if the police not here, maybe i will be dead. we hear from teachers why a lack of toilet training is costing reception children valuable teaching time. the excitement�*s building. after three months, the premier league is back — the first match is tonight as manchester united host fulham, while champions manchester city begin the defence of their title on sunday — as they attempt to win a 5th consecutive league trophy. good morning. early when will clear away _ good morning. early when will clear away from _ good morning. early when will clear away from the south east. blustery showers _ away from the south east. blustery showers in — away from the south east. blustery showers in parts of scotland. most of us _ showers in parts of scotland. most of us will _ showers in parts of scotland. most of us will have a dry day and things are set— of us will have a dry day and things are set mine — of us will have a dry day and things are set mine at the weekend. all of

the details — are set mine at the weekend. all of the details coming up shortly. our main story. five people have been charged in the united states over the death of the friends star, matthew perry. the 54—year—old actor was found dead in a hot tub at his home in los angeles last year. a post—mortem examination found a high concentration of ketamine in his blood. prosecutors now say two doctors were part of a criminal network supplying him with the drug. our los angeles correspondent, emma vardy, has more. hey, i got you a present! oh, my goodness, where did you hide it? to fans, matthew perry, best known as chandler bing, was the funny characterfrom friends, who'd made no secret of his flaws. he'd struggled with drugs and alcohol throughout his career. i'm in control of the first drink, and so i do all these things to protect myself from not having the first drink. sure. at the time of his death, he was said to have been undergoing therapy for depression — taking small doses of ketamine. but when he was found in the jacuzzi at his home,

the levels of the drug in his body were much higher. the five people facing charges are alleged to be part of a criminal network, supplying the drug, including two doctors, who used the actor say law enforcement as a way to make money. these defendants took advantage of mr perry's addiction issues to enrich themselves. they knew what they were doing was wrong. were doing was risking great danger to mr perry, but they did it anyways. the desperation that led perry to these individuals was not met with help, as it should have been from the doctors, but instead it was met with exploitation — exploitation by those who should have guided him toward help. matthew, right here first. thank you _ matthew perry was charged 2,000 for a dose of ketamine worth around $12. the doctors are accused of acquiring the drug and falsifying medical records — one of them writing in a text, "i wonder how much this moron will pay."

and matthew perry's personal assistant has admitted injecting him on the day he died. investigators say while looking into the actor's death, they uncovered a drug supply network, involving a dealer known as the ketamine queen in hollywood, and say that other suspects in connection with the operation are continuing to be investigated. emma vardy, bbc news. you have more on you have more 011 news you have more on news that will be very important for people affected lry very important for people affected by the _ very important for people affected by the contaminated blood scandal. hugely _ by the contaminated blood scandal. hugely important. details of the compensation to be paid to victims of the infected blood scandal have been set out today. it's thought some of the estimated 30,000 affected could receive up to £2.5 million after being infected with hiv and hepatitis c in cases dating back to the 1970s.

our health editor, hugh pym, reports. they'd called for years for truth and justice, and campaigners who gathered in may to mark the publication of the public inquiry report felt that had been delivered. it said the scale of the scandal was horrifying and that doctors, the nhs and government had repeatedly failed patients. today, more details of the final compensation package have been published. payments to those infected will start by the end of this year and to those affected, including families, some time next year. existing support schemes will continue as well as compensation. about 3,000 people so far have been in touch with the official body running the scheme, but it's not clear how many will claim. it's important that the support schemes do continue because that gives financial security to our community and it is an important recognition of past loss. it's separate compensation because compensation is a recognition of the damage that was inflicted on the whole community through treatment given

to them by the nhs. earlier plans from the government have been assessed by the head of a new compensation authority sir robert francis. he's backed most of them and suggested changes. these include extra payments to those who were subjected to scientific trials without consent. that was what happened to some pupils at the special school treloar�*s in hampshire, which had a unit to care for haemophiliacs. they'll receive £15,000 extra as well as compensation, but they say that's not nearly enough. i think the £15,000 proposed award is both derogatory and insulting, not only to the children that are still alive, the young adults that died, but also theirfamilies. um, i really do. there aren't really... there aren't really words. i just can't believe it, none of us can. and those infected with hepatitis c, or who lost loved ones because of the virus are concerned at earlier suggestions

their compensation would be a lot less than those infected with hiv. no update on that has yet been announced. ministers said it was an important milestone for victims and campaigners, and everything possible would be done to deliver compensation quickly. campaigners, though, will be anxious to see more of the detail. hugh pym, bbc news. 0nline safety campaigners have called on the tech firm meta to do more to protect children on its encryted messaging platform whatsapp. disgraced former bbc broadcaster huw edwards admitted to obtaining indecent imagery of children on the app, which currently prevents access to encrypted messages, including from the service provider itself. now the charity, the internet watch foundation, is pushing for more safeguards to fight the spread of child abuse material. two people have been charged with terrorism offences following an investigation by the met�*s counter terrorism command. 18—year—old rex william henry clark, from ilford in east london, and 19—year—old sofija vinogradova,

from cheshunt in hertfordshire, will appear at westminster magistrates�* court today. ukraine's special forces say they have killed ten russian soldiers in an ambush in the kursk — this on the 11th day of the incursion into eastern russia. kyiv claims it now controls 424 square miles of russian territory. the kremlin says ukraine would not have proceeded without direct support and involvement from the west. dozens of israeli settlers have set fire to houses and cars in a palestinian village in the occupied west bank, killing at least one person and seriously injuring others. our middle east correspondent yolande knell is injerusalem for us. morning, yolande. what is happening? what has sparked this and what have we been seeing? there has been a spike in the number of settler attacks, attacks by

extremist settlers on palestinian civilians, particularly since the 7th of october attacks by hamas which triggered the war in gaza. what happened in this case, in the village to the north of the west bank, local people told the bbc 150 settlers came after dark. on social media fitted you can see cars and houses that were set alight. we had a 23—year—old palestinian man was shot dead and another is still in a very serious condition in hospital. the white house came up with a statement very quickly saying these kinds of attacks are unacceptable and must stock take the pit stop. we had quick statements coming condemning this from the israeli prime minister and the defence minister as well. —— and must stop. we heard about the thursday of talks in qatar to try to secure a new gaza

ceasefire deal and bring remaining israeli hostages held by hamas in gaza. the white house saying these went positively and they are due to resume today. with the us, qatar and egypt as mediator speaking to a delegation and nearby hamas political leaders we are told qatar can consult with.— can consult with. thank you for that. sweden's public health agency says it has recorded the first case of a contagious new variant of mpox outside africa. overnight in pakistan, officials have quarantined three individuals with the virus, although it's not yet known which strain they have contracted. the world health organization has, this week, declared mpox a global public health emergency for a second time. our reporter, simon jones, has the latest. in the democratic republic of congo, the country hardest hit, public health campaigns are under way to warn people of the dangers of mpox. originally known as monkeypox,

it's transmitted through close contact, such as sex, skin—to—skin contact or breathing close to another person. it causes flu—like symptoms and skin lesions. they often clear up within a couple of weeks, but mpox can be fatal, particularly for people with weakened immune systems. translation: three of my children and i were infected. _ one was treated here and the other two were taken to hospital. after two weeks, they were discharged. a week later, my wife was infected. now, a case of the more dangerous strain of mpox has been recorded in sweden. the authorities say the person became infected during a stay in an area of africa where there is currently a major outbreak. it is very probable that we will see more cases in europe in the near...close time, so it's important for all countries to be aware that this can happen. there have been a50 deaths

in the democratic republic of congo following an outbreak of the new strain. it's also been detected in neighbouring countries, including the central african republic, uganda, kenya, rwanda and burundi. the surge of mpox in the democratic republic of the congo and a growing number of countries in africa constitutes a public health emergency of international concern. who is warning also about the potential of this mpox virus to spread further across countries in africa, and possibly outside the continent. dr meera chand, from the uk health security agency, said... outbreaks can be controlled by preventing infections with vaccines. the uk government says it has stockpiles as part of its preparedness plans. the world health organization says a coordinated international response

is now vital. simon jones, bbc news. the duke and duchess of sussex have arrived in colombia for the first stop of a four—day tour of the south american country. prince harry and meghan were invited by the country's vice—president, francia marquez, for what has been dubbed a "diy royal tour". here's sarah with a look at the weather. morning to you. some lovely pictures coming this morning. its, morning to you. some lovely pictures coming this morning.— coming this morning. a beautiful start to the _ coming this morning. a beautiful start to the day. _ coming this morning. a beautiful start to the day. this _ coming this morning. a beautiful start to the day. this is - coming this morning. a beautiful start to the day. this is the - start to the day. this is the picture in carnoustie up the coast of angus this morning. a beautiful sunrise with cloud drifting around. that will be the case for much of the uk. spells of sunshine developing. most of us looking dry weather view showers across scotland. it will feel less windy

staying dry with cloud drifting around here and there pulled longer spells of sunshine will be east anglia and the south—east the temperature is 1a to 2a north to south. similar picture on sunday, mostly dry. a few isolated showers across the north west of scotland. lighter winds than we have seen over the last 2a hours also. some high levels of uv out there this weekend. thank you so much. see you later. it's been 12 days since a hotel in rotherham that was housing asylum seekers became the focus of violent unrest. the holiday inn express was targeted after false information was spread online about who was behind the southport stabbings, in which three young girls were killed. our uk editor, ed thomas, has been to meet one of the asylum seekers who was trapped inside the hotel — and heard about his experience coming face—to—face with the rioters in the corridors. some people please stay here. we hear all the time, all the people saying come outside. we kill...

we kill you if you come outside. siren wailing. we feel all scared. we can't do anything. we just...must waiting and looking. if the police not here, maybe i will be dead. for the first time, we see and hear the panic inside the holiday inn, rotherham. the asylum seeker hotel under siege. this was filmed by abdullah, an iraqi kurd, who says he arrived here four months ago by a small boat from france. after two hours, i see people coming more, more, more like, ithink, more 1,000 people. he's now too scared to show his face on camera. the people won't come to inside with a weapon and knife. the police come to inside and say, "we save you, just stay here." outside, on the ath of august, hundreds gathered. get them out, get them out!

there was rage, anger towards those inside the hotel. inside, this man in black was filmed threatening the asylum seekers. the windows broke in my room and all the windows for my friend's room same. we were scared because of inside of fire. we couldn't breathe. we think we today we will died. the police, outnumbered, come under sustained attack. then they break through the police lines, smashing their way inside the hotel. abdullah says he then came face—to—face with the rioters. outside of my room, i saw the five peoples with a mask, black mask, and he said, "come to me." he want to fight with me, but the police come and he saved me. more than 60 police officers, four police dogs and a police horse were injured protecting everyone inside. the hotel is now empty. boarded up, a crime scene.

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven smashed windows. and this is just one side of the hotel. there's still glass all along the floor. and we've also spoken to people who work inside this place. they were here on the night. they're too scared to go on camera right now. but they too feared for their the lives. 38 people have now been charged in connection with the disorder here. many of those who live here are appalled at the violence. it was terrible, you know, and it's not representative of rotherham, i don't think. people around here are disgusted because this is a good community that look out for each other. but there are other voices here. it is difficult to look at with the police tape, with the boarded—up windows, stuff like that. but, at the end of the day, the people that were inside this hotel, they shouldn't have been here in the first place. like anthony's, he disagrees with the violence, but he's worried about illegal immigration. the people that i feel sorry

for are the workers. absolutely. but not the. . . not the asylum seekers inside. they've all had to leave this this place. they've had to leave rotherham. you're saying that, "oh, you feel sorry for them. they've had to leave this area." that means whatever happened around here, it worked, it worked. abdullah has been moved to another hotel. i'm still scared. when i go to outside here, i'm still scared. yeah. he feels lucky to be alive. ed joins us now. when i see that, i cannot believe it happened. i know it happened but still i am shocked by those images. thank goodness stays inside the hotel were 0k. do we know how abdullah is now? he hotel were ok. do we know how abdullah is now?— hotel were 0k. do we know how abdullah is now?— abdullah is now? he is terrified still. he genuinely _ abdullah is now? he is terrified still. he genuinely thought - abdullah is now? he is terrified still. he genuinely thought he l abdullah is now? he is terrified i still. he genuinely thought he was going to die. when you watch the

and just establish for us the way it did end was, in the end when he was literally confronted by a mob inside the hotel with no... at that moment in time no one there to help him. absolute chaos and panic. you can see in some of the footage filmed outside by the bbc, dozens of people rushing inside the hotel. this mob on a different level of this uncontrolled anger and rage coming in. abdullah comes face—to—face with four orfive in. abdullah comes face—to—face with four or five masked in. abdullah comes face—to—face with four orfive masked men. he says they were goading him, come on, come on, saying to him. at that last moment the police come on, they push them back and regain control of the hotel. ~ , ., , hotel. when you say they were uuoadin hotel. when you say they were goading him. _ hotel. when you say they were goading him, they _ hotel. when you say they were goading him, they wanted - hotel. when you say they were goading him, they wanted him| hotel. when you say they were i goading him, they wanted him to react so the implication is that they could justify the violence? abdullah says they were confronting him, come on, come on. some of them

in this building for over 17 years. we try to avoid looking at it as much as possible, yeah, sadly. in the aftermath, she is hopeful that her team can come back bigger and better. there's some chairs — new chairs i can get. and now we're looking at potentially a new advisor. you know, that would give us another opportunity to see another 300, 400 clients a year. that's thanks to the fundraising efforts of a complete stranger in sunderland, who raised nearly ten times the target amount. denise is speaking to her for the first time today. hi, sharon, it's denise. hi, denise, how are you? i'm not too bad, thank you. i just really wanted to say thank you ever so much for everything that you've done for us from saturday. um, the fundraiser is now up to £18,300, and we've had over 680 donations. you will be forever our — you know, our angel for that. so thank you.

here in sunderland's city centre, the impact of the disorder that took place can still be felt — smashed windows, burnt buildings, closed shops. yet, speaking to people here, there is also such a strong sense of community and defiance against the violence. youth worker phil has been volunteering on these streets every night since the riots. he knows of children who took part in the violence. so what you're seeing during the riot was adults giving children and young people bricks and stones to throw, and then standing back from them. on the saturday, when the riot had gone and that had gone, the young people thought that was normality because adults had just taught them to do it the day before, and it was back to us to be educating them and saying this wasn't normal, what happened last night. it's what i get out of bed for, to make sure that the young people of this city strive and survive. i'm a born and bred mackem.

mackem is somebody from sunderland. my home city is sunderland. my life is sunderland. i don't know anything else. i'm a sunderland season—ticket holder. when the riots hit, zaf iqbal, along with three others, locked themselves in their mosque for protection. since then, the government has helped fund extra security to the mosque, although zaf hopes that won't be needed much longer. the community come together — people, the true people of sunderland. e—mails, messages, cards, flowers left outside the mosque saying that they stand with us. we've had a peace walk where we had 300 people at pretty short notice, basically just walking around the city where the troubles happened, reclaiming the streets as such. my hopes are that we can unite as one community of sunderland and that we stay together. do you believe that will happen?

hopefully. he chuckles. i'm not going to say yes, but we will fight to make sure it does. ashleyjohn—baptiste, bbc news. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, and welcome to viewers in the south east. a nine—year—old girl who was killed after being hit by a bus in bexleyheath has been named by police. ada bicakci was struck on watling street on 3rd of august, and died in hospital. the bus driver has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury through dangerous driving and drug—driving. the scrappage scheme for vehicles that don't meet ultra low emission zone standards is to close in three weeks' time. transport for london said almost 5a thousands successful applicants have been given money to scrap older more polluting vehicles. the last day to apply for the scheme

is the 7th of september. a student from surrey who has a life—threatening allergy is urging the government to implement a law forcing restaurants to put allergy information on menus. max is backing owen's law. it's named after owen carey from east sussex who died from an allergic reaction after eating chicken containing buttermilk, despite telling staff he was allergic to dairy. when i first came across it, i thought that this proposal for a new law would really make an impact and kind of avoid that sometimes lack of awareness by restaurant staff for the seriousness of allergies. and i think it would really help to inform the customer more and really be able to help them feel much safer about what they're eating, always. a major change to the way drivers pay for parking at stations across the south east has been postponed. southeastern had planned to switch to an app or phone—based system. but some customers had expressed concerns, so the operator has decided to pause the move while it considers other options.

piccadilly line passengers are being warned of major disruption for the next two weeks due to major upgrade work. services at king's cross, wood green, uxbridge and cockfosters will be impacted from tomorrow. there will also be a reduced number of trains on the rest of the line. travel now, and let's see how the tubes are faring. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, there, good morning. well, after what was a mild, muggy night with cloud and outbreaks of rain, there's still some lingering cloud this morning with a few showers around, but it does become drier and sunnier as the day progresses. the showers will be isolated mainly further towards more eastern parts, but by the afternoon, sunshine, fair—weather cloud, and temperatures widely reaching the low to mid 20s. and the winds will be lighter than yesterday, as well. a fine evening to come — late spells of sunshine, largely clear skies overnight. light winds — there may be some patches of mist and fog forming — but a fresher night compared with last night — temperatures

dipping to around ten to 15 celsius in the city centre. as we look ahead to the weekend, then — well, plenty of fine, dry weather with high pressure remaining in charge. the winds will be light on saturday, some good spells of sunshine. maybe a bit more in the way of cloud in places on sunday. so it does remain fine, dry and settled throughout the weekend, with temperatures widely reaching around the mid—20s — although there may be some mist and fog first thing on sunday morning, but that should soon clear to some sunny spells, as well. there's more on our website — including the surprise guest at last night's taylor swift concert. that's it — i'm back in around half an hour. welcome back to bbc breakfast. teachers are busy getting ready for kids to come back to school. but a lack of toilet training in some pupils is putting pressure on staff. one in four children in england and wales were not toilet trained

by the time they started school. that's according to the latest report by early years charity, kindred squared, published earlier this year. the organisation polled 1,000 teachers and found that 50% of staff said the problem of children being "school ready" is worse now than in 2022. teachers said that on a typical school day they are losing two and a half hours dealing with issues like toilet training. according to a parallel poll of 1,000 parents, also by kindred squared, one in five think children do not need to be toilet trained before starting reception. to tackle this problem the the children's bowel and bladder charity eric has launched a campaign to help families get their children ready for school over the summer holidays. it says teachers are facing a "ticking time bomb" in september as new reception—aged children arrive without being toilet trained. our reporter, alice bouverie, has more.

let's face it, a lot of kids love to talk about poos and wees. and this summer they're being invited on board the toilet train because an estimated one in four children will start school this september still in nappies. it's really, i would say, almost like an emergency intervention. it's aimed at those parents and children who have got their children starting school in september, and they're still not toilet trained. interestingly, part of the blame lies with covid. the children starting school this september missed out socially, their parents missed out on support. bristol city council has caught on to the crisis, and has teamed up with the children's charity eric to help develop more training resources. it's really needed. we've seen an increase in children starting reception wearing nappies, so we have identified as bristol early years — and with eric, as well — there is a need to get some training for practitioners and some support — more support for families.

cock a doodle doo! i think it can be. i think it can be daunting and challenging when children first go into pants — especially when you're going out and about. so i think sometimes it isjust... it's just a bit more convenient for some families. what does your poo look like? don't know. we said number two or three. one of the things the charity is doing is breaking down the stigma around potty training. the very first thing we'd want parents to be looking for is to check that their children aren't constipated. it's very, very common, and ideally a child would have a type four poo — a nice smooth sausage. the other really important thing is to make sure that children drink enough. sort out constipation, and potty training suddenly becomes a lot easier. there's this advice, too. we've been waiting for that first wee and that first poo to reward him, but she was saying, no — reward for being on the potty instead. so just really simple, easy changes that we can make, hopefully. so that will make it easier for him. you did such a good job!

a different story though for kilmarnock who have qualified for the conference league play—offs with a win over tromso — also in norway. these were the jubilant scenes at full—time. joe wright scored the all—important goal in a 1—0 win in last night's second leg. the 3—2 aggregate victory sets up a winner—takes—all match against banik or copenhagen for a place in the group stages. hungary's blanka vas won the fifth stage of the women's tour de france femme as her dutch teammate demi vollering lost the race leader's yellow jersey after being caught up in a big crash. it happened with just six kilometres to go, involving 10 riders including vollering and it reduced the peloton in the run to amneville in northeastern france. poland's katarzyna niewiadoma finished second behind the winner vas to take the race leader's yellow jersey from the defending champion vollering who dropped to ninth overall.

fine day today and with the weekend as well. i will be back with more details _ as well. i will be back with more details again shortly. it's friday, the 16th of august. our main story. five people have been charged in the united states over the death of the friends star, matthew perry. the 54—year—old actor was found dead in a hot tub at his home in los angeles last year. a post—mortem examination found a high concentration of ketamine in his blood. prosecutors now say two doctors were part of a criminal network supplying him with the drug. our los angeles correspondent, emma vardy, has more. hey, i got you a present! oh, my goodness, where did you hide it? to fans, matthew perry, best known as chandler bing, was the funny characterfrom friends, who'd made no secret of his flaws. he'd struggled with drugs and alcohol throughout his career. i'm in control of the first drink, and so i do all these things to protect myself from not having the first drink. sure. at the time of his death, he was said to have been undergoing therapy for depression — taking small doses of ketamine. but when he was found in the jacuzzi at his home,

the levels of the drug in his body were much higher. the five people facing charges are alleged to be part of a criminal network, supplying the drug, including two doctors, who used the actor say law enforcement as a way to make money. these defendants took advantage of mr perry's addiction issues to enrich themselves. they knew what they were doing was wrong. were doing was risking great danger to mr perry, but they did it anyways. the desperation that led perry to these individuals was not met with help, as it should have been from the doctors, but instead it was met with exploitation — exploitation by those who should have guided him toward help. matthew, right here first. thank you _ matthew perry was charged 2,000 for a dose of ketamine worth around $12. the doctors are accused of acquiring the drug and falsifying medical records — one of them writing in a text, "i wonder how much this moron will pay."

and matthew perry's personal assistant has admitted injecting him on the day he died. investigators say while looking into the actor's death, they uncovered a drug supply network, involving a dealer known as the ketamine queen in hollywood, and say that other suspects in connection with the operation are continuing to be investigated. emma vardy, bbc news. you have a story, very important for those people caught up in the contaminated blood scandal. absolutely. details of compensation to be paid to victims of the infected blood scandal have been set out today. it's thought some of the estimated 30,000 affected could receive up to two and a half million pounds after being infected with hiv and hepatitis c in cases dating back to the 19705. our health editor, hugh pym, reports. they'd called for years for truth

and justice, and campaigners who gathered in may to mark the publication of the public inquiry report felt that had been delivered. it said the scale of the scandal was horrifying and that doctors, the nhs and government had repeatedly failed patients. today, more details of the final compensation package have been published. payments to those infected will start by the end of this year and to those affected, including families, some time next year. existing support schemes will continue as well as compensation. about 3,000 people so far have been in touch with the official body running the scheme, but it's not clear how many will claim. it's important that the support schemes do continue because that gives financial security to our community and it is an important recognition of past loss. it's separate compensation because compensation is a recognition

—— it's separate to compensation because compensation is a recognition of the damage that was inflicted on the whole community through treatment given to them by the nhs. earlier plans from the government have been assessed by the head of a new compensation authority sir robert francis. he's backed most of them and suggested changes. these include extra payments to those who were subjected to scientific trials without consent. that was what happened to some pupils at the special school treloar�*s in hampshire, which had a unit to care for haemophiliacs. they'll receive £15,000 extra as well as compensation, but they say that's not nearly enough. i think the £15,000 proposed award is both derogatory and insulting, not only to the children that are still alive, the young adults that died, but also theirfamilies. um, i really do. there aren't really... there aren't really words. i just can't believe it, none of us can. and those infected with hepatitis c, or who lost loved ones because of the virus are concerned at earlier suggestions their compensation would be a lot

less than those infected with hiv. no update on that has yet been announced. ministers said it was an important milestone for victims and campaigners, and everything possible would be done to deliver compensation quickly. campaigners, though, will be anxious to see more of the detail. hugh pym, bbc news. 0nline safety campaigners are accusing whatsapp of failing to stop the spread of child sexual abuse images. citing the recent case of the disgraced bbc broadcaster huw edwards, who accessed indecent images of children on the app, the internet watch foundation said more safeguards should be introduced. whatsapp insists it has robust measures in place to prevent and detect abuse. two teenagers have been charged with terrorism offences following an investigation by the met�*s counter terrorism command. 18—year—old rex william henry clark, from ilford in east london,

and 19—year—old sofija vinogradova, from cheshunt in hertfordshire, will appear at westminster magistrates�* court today. ukraine's special forces say they have killed ten russian soldiers in an ambush in the kursk region — this on the 11th day of their incursion into eastern russia. officials in kyiv claim it now controls 424 square miles of russian territory. a kremlin adviser has claimed ukraine would not have proceeded without direct support and involvement from the west. dozens of israeli settlers have set fire to houses and cars in a palestinian village in the occupied west bank, killing at least one person and seriously injuring others. israeli political leaders — including the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu have condemned the violence. our middle east correspondent yolande knell is injerusalem. well, there has been a spike in the numbers of settler attacks — attacks by extremist settlers — on palestinian civilians particularly since the 7th of october attacks by hamas,

which triggered the war in gaza. and then what happened in this case — it's a small village called jit, close to nablus in the north of the west bank. local people told the bbc that something like 150 settlers came after dark, and you can see on social media footage that there are cars that are set alight, there are houses that were set alight, and we've heard that a 23—year—old palestinian man was shot dead. another man is still in a very serious condition in hospital. now, the white house came out with a statement very quickly, saying that these kinds of attacks are unacceptable, they must stop. and, unusually, we had quick statements coming condemning this from the israeli prime minister and from the defence minister, too. earlier, we had been hearing from the white house yesterday about the first day of talks in qatar to try to secure a new gaza ceasefire deal, bring home remaining israeli hostages held by hamas in gaza.

basically, the white house saying that these went positively, and that they're due to resume today with the us, qatar and egypt as mediators, speaking to an israeli delegation. and there is, nearby, hamas political leaders who we're told that qatar can consult with. sweden's public health agency says it has recorded the first case of a contagious new variant of mpox outside africa. elsewhere, officials in pakistan have confirmed a new case of mpox but not yet identified the strain of the virus. our reporter, simon jones, has the latest. in the democratic republic of congo, the country hardest hit, public health campaigns are under way to warn people of the dangers of mpox. originally known as monkeypox, it's transmitted through close contact, such as sex, skin—to—skin contact or breathing close to another person.

it causes flu—like symptoms and skin lesions. they often clear up within a couple of weeks, but mpox can be fatal, particularly for people with weakened immune systems. translation: three of my children and i were infected. _ one was treated here and the other two were taken to hospital. after two weeks, they were discharged. a week later, my wife was infected. now, a case of the more dangerous strain of mpox has been recorded in sweden. the authorities say the person became infected during a stay in an area of africa where there is currently a major outbreak. it is very probable that we will see more cases in europe in the near...close time, so it's important for all countries to be aware that this can happen. there have been 450 deaths in the democratic republic of congo following an outbreak of the new strain. it's also been detected in neighbouring countries, including

the central african republic, uganda, kenya, rwanda and burundi. the surge of mpox in the democratic republic of the congo and a growing number of countries in africa constitutes a public health emergency of international concern. who is warning also about the potential of this mpox virus to spread further across countries in africa, and possibly outside the continent. dr meera chand, from the uk health security agency, said... outbreaks can be controlled by preventing infections with vaccines. the uk government says it has stockpiles as part of its preparedness plans. the world health organization says a coordinated international response is now vital. simon jones, bbc news.

reach 24, 25. more most of us mid to high teens to the mid 205. similar into sunday with high pressure building in. largely dry and settled. a westerly breeze will bring a few showers in the north west of scotland through the day. further south we are expecting lighter wins and more sunshine. top temperatures by this stage between 14 to 25. that is how it looks through the course of the weekend. into next week things more unsettled. a return to something cooler as we head through next week. for the weekend most people will be pleased to know it is looking dry and settled. i pleased to know it is looking dry and settled-— police are constantly looking at different ways to tackle knife crime — and the devastating impact it can have on communities. a new team has been formed in bristol to do just that — and our west of england correspondent, danjohnson, has been spending some time with them.

dan... i think until you see your report and how shocking it is, it feels so distant, doesn't it? forso and how shocking it is, it feels so distant, doesn't it? for so many of us. ~ ., distant, doesn't it? for so many of us. . . , ., . distant, doesn't it? for so many of us. what you are about to see is re us. what you are about to see is pretty shocking- _ it is an national issue but bristol has had this particular spike over recent months, particularly teenage knife crime. but it is of course notjust that city. the ministry ofjustice has released its latest sentencing figures for knife and weapon offences. over the 12 months ending march this year, the number of cases dealt with was over 18,500 — that's actually a small drop of 3% across england and wales compared to the year before. but, that figure is still up overall by 13% over the past decade. and there's been a significant rise of offences involving children aged between ten and 17 over the last ten years.

it's that we're really focussing on. in bristol, a new police team was set up earlier this year after the death of three teenagers in the space of three weeks and the wounding of others around that time as well. i've been out with them to see how the city is responding to this problem. that's the car, the grey one. siren wails. yeah, we got a car, but it's been covering space up. you're about to see the sort of weapons carried by some young people. the grey car full of teenagers has refused to stop for police. stay where you are! stay where you are, all of you. get your hands out now! now! weapon out! weapon found. everyone hands where we can see them. step away from the car. i'm on my way. that's come from inside the vehicle. there's a girl... hop out the car, love. ..and fouryoung men, all between 16 and 18.

ok, next time you're under arrest for possession of a bladed article in a public place. it's 11:30 on a wednesday morning. officers have just stopped this car in a bristol suburb. they have searched it and retrieved these enormous knives. no—one's out with balaclavas and zombie knives with good intentions, are they? so do you think stopping them today, seizing those knives could have at least stopped something more serious? absolutely. yeah. that's the whole point in doing this. there is no upside. there's no positive. no—one wins. and then that poor decision in a split second can ruin the rest of their life, it could ruin the rest of the other person's life. here's one life lost at 19. nobody�*s been charged with stabbing eddie kinuthia last summer, despite arrests. so his family's left with his last desperate moments, bleeding to death on the street in the arms of his mother. when i got there and i saw him, um, the look on his face of, like, just shock, like just that

panicked look on his face. i kept telling him to stay awake and he tried. he really tried because i kept telling him, help is coming. you know, the thing that i struggle most with is wanting to go back. if we can do it again, and i can do it better. and there's grief across this city. after a surge of teenage knife crime costing young lives in both blood and prison sentences. morning. we'll talk about the children that are linked to the murder of darrian williams. that will be the agenda for today's briefing. and this is the team sworn to protect young people from a life of violence and the criminal exploitation so often behind it. has he spoken to his mum and dad since he's been missing? he spoke to his mum

yesterday at midday. it's the first time one of these weekly meetings has been filmed. what do you say to the people who may be a bit more, "look, these kids know what they're getting into." i think it is really important to understand each individual person because we don't know what's happened in that person's life — that child's life. a lot of our children have trauma, and it's really important that we understand that because actually putting a child in prison is not the answer. it's not the solution because they'll come out of prison. so what then? what one do you normally have? do you want a... ..full face? full of brains, that's why. try and push that one down. is that all right? this is mostly about teenage boys, as victims or perpetrators — sometimes both. but here they know it starts so much younger. there's as young as six or seven—year—olds carrying knives. and i think fear is the main factor why they're carrying a knife. when you think of a seven, eight—year—old, you think of a young person who's got innocence, you know? and i think at the moment we're seeing young people losing that innocence from

such a young age. whether they take to the saddle... how are you doing, mate? ..or the barber's seat. here, open, honest conversations are encouraged. but what makes you not want to be able to go out? i just don't feel safe outside. yeah. i feel more safe inside of my house, not outside. and when you come here, do you feel safe? ijust can have a nice time without having many worries about anything bad happening. have you been shocked by some of what you've seen? yeah, the scale and size of the weapons is horrifying and the traumatic nature of the injuries. young people and children are more concerned about being caught without a knife by someone that might wish them harm than they are more concerned about being caught by police with a knife and being arrested. i think we just need to tip that balance the other way. but there are no simple answers to this complex issue. why are you driving around with a knife like that? don't know. you're carrying it. why? don't know, mate.

so i'm not the odd one out, maybe. so why carry it? i'm into knives, innit? i like the way they look and that. weapons are seized, arrests follow. this 16—year—old for possessing a knife. so too the 18—year—old who was driving without a licence or insurance — their fate is still to be determined. and the bereaved also want answers. we're still waiting forjustice and we're still waiting for somebody to be responsible. but then being stuck on that day, going over and over it frequently and just wanting a different outcome. do you have hope you will getjustice one day? i do, i really do. i'm never giving up. i miss him, i miss his hugs. i miss, like, his laughter, you know? imiss... i miss dancing with him.

eddie's story sums up this city's challenge. but knife crime and its impact reaches further, and it needs much wider solutions. dan joins us now on the sofa. we said earlier, you can report on these things and, you know, we are a step away. when you saw those... one was a machete and a zombie knife. i don't know if you had seen those up close. i don't know if you had seen those up close. ., . don't know if you had seen those up close. . , .., . close. i have seen in court, i have seen pictures _ close. i have seen in court, i have seen pictures when _ close. i have seen in court, i have seen pictures when police - close. i have seen in court, i have seen pictures when police have i seen pictures when police have seized them in an amnesty or whatever. to see them on the streets of bristol on a wednesday morning taken from the hands of 16 and 17—year—olds, it is startling what is going on and who is out there with these things. the police are really confident that stopping the

put on some bravado because they were awkward, difficult teenagers, who quite quickly looked young, nervous, worried and a bit pathetic really. the officers are like this is who we are dealing with now. it is who we are dealing with now. it is not hardened gangsters, it is kids who do not know what they are doing. it kids who do not know what they are doine. . ., kids who do not know what they are doine. , . . ,, kids who do not know what they are doine. , . ., doing. it is what happened after. they were _ doing. it is what happened after. they were all _ doing. it is what happened after. they were all taken _ doing. it is what happened after. they were all taken into - doing. it is what happened after. they were all taken into custody| doing. it is what happened after. i they were all taken into custody in the first instance. the three from the first instance. the three from the back seat were all quickly released, nothing happened to them. the two boys in the front with a 16—year—old i had an exchange with about why the nicer in the car, they may face charges. the prosecution and the police are still making a decision. they pulled two knives from the car but five people were in there. no one had their hands on the knives. it is difficult for the police to prove possession. anyone

caught with a knife are told they will face prison. even treading the offences is difficult. you get an idea of how complicated it is for the police to do this work, find the knives and make it stick in terms of the criminal process. to the kids need punishment, prison or some form of education or intervention? those are the complicated decisions we have seen officers working through, complicated work. it have seen officers working through, complicated work.— complicated work. it was bristol in this case. complicated work. it was bristol in this case- the _ complicated work. it was bristol in this case. the problem _ complicated work. it was bristol in this case. the problem is - complicated work. it was bristol in | this case. the problem is replicated all over the place. what works and how do you get to the heart of the problem is the biggest conundrum of the panel? 50 problem is the biggest conundrum of the anel? , . , , the panel? so complex and sensitive. bristol is not — the panel? so complex and sensitive. bristol is not the _ the panel? so complex and sensitive. bristol is not the worst _ the panel? so complex and sensitive. bristol is not the worst pace - the panel? so complex and sensitive. bristol is not the worst pace but - bristol is not the worst pace but the increase in bristol has been really sharp over the last year or so. telly say it is young teenage boys 14, 15 and 16—year—olds. —— is

back at the police say. it is about way more than the police. they say they need the help of the council, they need the help of the council, the charities. they say we need the help of families and parents when they need to tell us what is going on with their young people. they need to flag up if they are worried about vulnerable young children. they are talking about grooming and exploitation is the way they slide into this. a really complicated problem. into this. a really complicated roblem. ., .. into this. a really complicated roblem. ., ~' ,, into this. a really complicated roblem. . ,, i. , into this. a really complicated roblem. . ,, , . time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. a nine—year—old girl who was killed after being hit by a bus in bexleyheath has been named by police. ada bicakci was struck on watling street on 3rd of august and died in hospital. the bus driver has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury through dangerous driving and drug—driving.

the scrappage scheme for vehicles that don't meet ultra low emission zone standards is to close in three weeks' time. transport for london said almost 54,000 successful applicants have been given money to scrap older more polluting vehicles. the last day to apply for the scheme is the 7th of september. a student from surrey who has a life—threatening allergy — is calling for new rules forcing restaurants to put allergy information on menus. max is backing owen's law. it's named after owen carey, who died from an allergic reaction after eating chicken containing buttermilk, despite telling staff he was allergic to dairy. when i first came across it, i thought that this proposal for a new law would really make an impact and kind of avoid that sometimes lack of awareness by restaurant staff for the seriousness of allergies. and i think it would really help to inform the customer more and really be able to help them feel much safer about what they're eating, always. a major change to the way drivers

pay for parking at stations across the south east has been postponed. southeastern had planned to switch to an app or phone—based system. but some customers had expressed concerns, so the operator has decided to pause the move while it considers other options. passengers who use the piccadilly line are being warned of major disruption for the next two weeks with some of it closing due to major upgrade work. services at king's cross, wood green, uxbridge and cockfosters will be impacted from tomorrow. there will also be a reduced number of trains on the rest of the line. replacement buses will be operating. travel now, and let's see how the tubes are faring. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, there, good morning. well, after what was a mild, muggy night with cloud and outbreaks of rain, there's still some lingering cloud this morning with a few showers around, but it does become drier and sunnier as the day progresses. the showers will be isolated mainly further towards more eastern parts, but by the afternoon, sunshine, fair—weather cloud, and temperatures widely

reaching the low to mid 205. and the winds will be lighter than yesterday, as well. a fine evening to come — late spells of sunshine, largely clear skies overnight. light winds — there may be some patches of mist and fog forming — but a fresher night compared with last night — temperatures dipping to around ten to 15 celsius in the city centre. as we look ahead to the weekend, then — well, plenty of fine, dry weather with high pressure remaining in charge. the winds will be light on saturday, some good spells of sunshine. maybe a bit more in the way of cloud in places on sunday. so it does remain fine, dry and settled throughout the weekend, with temperatures widely reaching around the mid—205 — although there may be some mist and fog first thing on sunday morning, but that should soon clear to some sunny spells, as well. there's more on our website, including the surprise guest at last night's taylor swift concert. that's it — i'm back around 9:15. hello, this is breakfast with

naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning. we have been talking about part—timejobs, saturdayjobs about pa rt—time jobs, saturday jobs as about part—timejobs, saturdayjobs as they used to be called. still are, i suppose. as they used to be called. still are, isuppose. statistics as they used to be called. still are, i suppose. statistics show that compared to the time their parents with the same age, the teenagers today, their saturdayjob is not really a fashionable thing. ben today, their saturday job is not really a fashionable thing. ben has been looking _ really a fashionable thing. ben has been looking into _ really a fashionable thing. ben has been looking into this. _ really a fashionable thing. ben has been looking into this. we - really a fashionable thing. ben has been looking into this. we call- really a fashionable thing. ben has i been looking into this. we call them saturdayjobs but this is part—time work you do when you are at school or college and owning a bit of extra money. or college and owning a bit of extra mone . �* ., or college and owning a bit of extra mone.�* ., , or college and owning a bit of extra mone. �* ., , ., ., money. before people throughout their hands and _ money. before people throughout their hands and say _ money. before people throughout their hands and say it _ money. before people throughout their hands and say it is _ money. before people throughout their hands and say it is a - money. before people throughout. their hands and say it is a work-shy their hands and say it is a work—shy generation, not like they used to be, it is not the case, actually. some people are to find part—time work but struggling to do so. we will come onto that because we have had so many comments. let me explain why we are looking at this this morning. working while at school or college used to be more common among teenagers — babysitting, a paper round or working in a cafe or shop, as a way to earn a bit of extra money.

it is less common now. back in 1998 about half of all 16— and 17—year—olds had some form of employment either full or part time. now, 25 years on, that has halved with under a quarter having a job — and the number of child employment permits issued by local authorities — which businesses need to employ under—16s — also steadily decreasing. but what is behind the decline? here's lizzie from the chartered institute of personnel and development. the evidence that does exist suggests that actually young people are focusing much more on their academic qualifications rather than, you know, gaining work experience. and this is of some concern because we also know that there are clear protective benefits from combining education and work. so likely to reduce your future likelihood of being unemployed, and lead to overall kind of increases in lifetime earnings.

some of the uk's leading entrepreneurs have said that having a job early was key to their development and later success — and many organisations that work with teenagers say they are not necessarily more "work shy" than previous generations but need an opportunity. teenagers are actually very easy to persuade to be ready for work. theyjust need to be given the opportunity. and the reality of it is that those young people do want to work, but they've been set false expectations, and we need to change that. and we need to work to be able to support small businesses in particular, that give these saturdayjob opportunities. we asked a few people in greater manchester about their memories of their first saturday job. my first saturdayjob was being a kp in the back of a pub, and it was... it was horrible. it was hell in there. it was hot, sweaty, dirty.

just food flying at me left, right and centre. and i was working for £4 an hour and could barely survive, to be honest. i hated it. sorry about that, but i did. it was just purely to save up, to go with the youth club, to, um... how old would i be? 16 at the time, yeah, to save up, to go to italy. as soon as i had enough money, i left. i was doing a lot of cleaning, a lot of brew—making, um, l a lot of the jobs which the adults didn't want to do. _ i was there for ten - hours every saturday — 9.00 till 7.00 every saturday — for...a year and a half. - and then when i was fully out - of school, i got an apprenticeship at the gym which i was at, j so it was a good thing that i got that saturdayjob. a lot of people have been in touch this morning with their experiences and there of their children. emma said it is so high for 16 and 17—year—olds to get a job these days. not a single charity shop ——

so hard. not a single charity shop would accept their offer of work because of insurance, she said she must have called 20 and she was turned down by all of them. supermarkets also want people over 18 because they need to be able to serve alcohol and approve the age for alcohol. i serve alcohol and approve the age for alcohol-— for alcohol. i have been served by --eole for alcohol. i have been served by people under— for alcohol. i have been served by people under the _ for alcohol. i have been served by people under the age _ for alcohol. i have been served by people under the age of— for alcohol. i have been served by people under the age of 18 - for alcohol. i have been served by people under the age of 18 in - people under the age of 18 in supermarkets. they have to ask a store manager to verify selling alcohol, so i suppose it depends on the supermarket and what they have a. �* , , ., , ., a. and it depends on the size of the sho -. the a. and it depends on the size of the shop. the couple _ a. and it depends on the size of the shop. the couple of— a. and it depends on the size of the shop. the couple of people - a. and it depends on the size of the shop. the couple of people have i a. and it depends on the size of the i shop. the couple of people have said with a loss of independent shops on the high street, fewer greengrocers, independent newsagents, it is harder for people to find those kinds of businesses where they can get work. really nice message we had from harvey, who is 16, watching in wigan. started his first part—time job when he was ten. chinese takeaway. said he was there for five years, started as a team member, left as the manager. it was his

having the part—time job is interesting because some say... having the part—timejob helps instill the work ethic and learn about the value of money and earning and saving. some take the view that actually there is so much competition academically spending the time focusing on the studies is the time focusing on the studies is the longer term... the time focusing on the studies is the longer term. . .— the longer term. .. doesn't technology _ the longer term. .. doesn't technology also _ the longer term. .. doesn't technology also mean - the longer term. .. doesn't technology also mean that j the longer term. .. doesn't - technology also mean that quite a few young people might be any money but not _ few young people might be any money but not by— few young people might be any money but not by what we would consider regular— but not by what we would consider regularjobs. they could be buying and selling stuff. there are lots of ways _ and selling stuff. there are lots of ways to _ and selling stuff. there are lots of ways to earn money without having a 'ob. ways to earn money without having a job a _ ways to earn money without having a 'ob. �* ., . job. a friend of mine, her daughter is basically — job. a friend of mine, her daughter is basically an _ job. a friend of mine, her daughter is basically an influencer _ job. a friend of mine, her daughter is basically an influencer and - job. a friend of mine, her daughter is basically an influencer and gets i is basically an influencer and gets sent these items, clothes to wear. she makes far more money doing that then she would if she was working a part—timejob. you then she would if she was working a part-time job-— then she would if she was working a part-time job-_ i- then she would if she was working a part-timejob._ i did. j part-time 'ob. you had a 'ob? i did. m part-time job. you had a 'ob? i did. my parents — part-time job. you had a 'ob? i did. my parents were * part-time job. you had a 'ob? i did. my parents were in _ part-time job. you had ajob? i did. my parents were in touch. - part-time job. you had ajob? i did. my parents were in touch. you - part-time job. you had ajob? i did. my parents were in touch. you said | my parents were in touch. you said ou my parents were in touch. you said you didn't- — my parents were in touch. you said you didn't- l _ my parents were in touch. you said you didn't. i had _ my parents were in touch. you said you didn't. i had forgotten, - my parents were in touch. you said you didn't. i had forgotten, it - my parents were in touch. you said you didn't. i had forgotten, it has i you didn't. i had forgotten, it has been so long _ you didn't. i had forgotten, it has been so long since _ you didn't. i had forgotten, it has been so long since it _ you didn't. i had forgotten, it has been so long since it was - you didn't. i had forgotten, it has been so long since it was the - you didn't. i had forgotten, it has. been so long since it was the case. did your mum tell you off?- did your mum tell you off? yeah! laughter _ laughter my dad message and said you did do

fans of the 20 clubs that make up the premier league are eagerly awaiting the chance to see then teams compete as a new season kicks off. music: baba o'riley by the who. supporters of ipswich town have been waiting longer than most — and among them is ed sheeran. he's the club's most famous fan — and now, he's got his own minority stake in the team too. when a team returns to the top flight for the first time in 22 years it is pretty exciting stuff, as mike has been finding out. music: baba o'riley by the who. ipswich town back in the big time. rekindling memories of their glory days, when they were one of english football's powerhouses — the late 19705 and the fa cup — european silverware just a few years later. the blue and white of ipswich on the trophy for the first time. but now the class of '24 has found its voice — inspired by their most famous fan, ed sheeran. # we've got super kieran mckenna... not many players celebrate winning

promotion to the premier league by going on a night with a global superstar. and while, yes, he's helped put his beloved club back on the world stage, above all else, he's just one of the fans. it's notjust, like, big league games you see him — i know we're going into the prem — you see him at, like... you know, colchester away in the cup sort of thing, and it's. . . it's incredible. and, you know, i've been there in the north stand and everyone goes, "oh, ed sheeran's in the stand," and then you turn round and you go, "ed!" and he goes, "whey!" and it's the best thing ever. so it's... you know, having someone local who's kind of made it, it's the best thing. because he's still one of us, he's wearing the jersey, you know, when he's on tour and stuff like that, it's incredible. # and we won the fa cup. # we support the ipswich... when you've waited 22 years, you're going to want to make a song and dance about it. promotion back to the premier league, and there is so much excitement in the build—up to the big kick—off across the town — especially in the pubs, where fans are joined by ex—players — even those from the

european glory days. it was just good fun. i had a lovely gentleman came across the car park a minute ago and just said, you know, "thanks for all the good days we had," you know. and i said, "but i was just playing football with my mates," you know, and that's what it was — you're playing football with very good friends, it was very competitive. uh... and it was... it was a bit of a giggle. yes, there's been a demise over the last 20—odd years, but we're back — we're back in the premier league. and a whole generation has missed out on premier league football, with the club dropping for several seasons into the third tier. it's the first time i've seen ipswich in the premier league — it's amazing, especially after the seasons in league one, you know. couldn't ask for more. it'sjust, like, amazing, isn't it? and, like, just to be living, present — like, as it's - happening, it's so cool. a lot of people thought i was absolutely crazy going to watch, you know, fleetwood at home and accrington stanley away. but now it's going to be liverpool at home and man city away.

it's... it's like the old days, you know, when i was growing up. it never even crossed my mind ipswich wouldn't be in the top division. ed sheeran's investment and sponsorship of the shirts with his latest tour branding, combined with the support and work of the club's american owners, watered and nourished the roots of recovery. and reaching the promised land is already paying off, bringing the whole of suffolk together behind the club again. this is erin, 12 weeks old. ipswich's youngest fan. impact is massive — you know, you really see that through your shirt sales. shirt sales are an indication of how supporters are engaging with the club. around four years ago we were selling 10,000 a season. last year, 60,000. this year we'll be on course for 100,000 shirts, whichjust shows that engagement is really strong now with our supporters. young george burley stylish at fullback. i it's an especially poignant moment for george burley — who, as part of the fa cup—winning team in 1978, and who managed the club for many years, but was unable to save it from relegation 22 years ago. he now believes the club has helped the town find its soul again.

everybody wants to go and watch ipswich play. everybody. when i take the dog for a walk in the morning in the park, they want to talk about football. three or four years, that wasn't the case, but now it's really gave the town a big lift. the town's going to be full of people from abroad coming to games. everybody wants tickets. so it's a very exciting time. the dressing room is normallyjust a place for team talks, but ipswich's players know from last season that a famous victory now in the premier league will most likely mean a sing—along with ed again. mike bushell, bbc news, ipswich. # what it was. # i will not give you up... that is a very happy team, very happy superstar and a very happy fan, bunch of fans.— fan, bunch of fans. yes, for the first time _ fan, bunch of fans. yes, for the first time in _ fan, bunch of fans. yes, for the first time in 22 _ fan, bunch of fans. yes, for the first time in 22 years _ fan, bunch of fans. yes, for the first time in 22 years ipswich i fan, bunch of fans. yes, for the | first time in 22 years ipswich are back— first time in 22 years ipswich are back to — first time in 22 years ipswich are back to the _ first time in 22 years ipswich are back to the premier league along with leicester and southampton. this is ahead _ with leicester and southampton. this is ahead of— with leicester and southampton. this is ahead of the premier league which begins _ is ahead of the premier league which begins tonight, manchester united hosting _ begins tonight, manchester united hosting fulham. the

the garvellach islands, in the west of scotland, offer the best geological record of the earth's transition into an ice age 720 million years ago. the findings could open the door to a better understanding of why it happened — and how it laid the groundwork for animal life to evolve. our science correspondent, pallab ghosh, has more. these tiny islands in the inner hebrides of scotland hold the key to how the first animal life emerged on earth hundreds of millions of years ago. each layer of this rock face in the garvellachs captures a snapshot of the planet's distant past. scientists have now dated fragments of the rock, and shown them to be from the only place in the world to have a detailed record of how our planet plunged into the most severe and prolonged ice age in our history. these tiny grains prove beyond any doubt that the garvellachs are the best and most complete record of a critical

period in our history called snowball earth — when, for 80 million years, pretty much the entire planet was covered with ice. if we wind back the calendar hundreds of millions of years, we see that scotland was in a completely different place, because the continents have moved over time. it was south of the earth's equator, and had a tropical climate until it — and the rest of the planet — became engulfed in ice. but then, something remarkable happened. after the melting of the snowball, we suddenly start to get bona fide modern—looking animals. it seems counter—intuitive that such a big freeze that could have prevented life was actually the spur to generate this explosion of life. after the snowball melted, of course, everything that had adapted to that and diversified in those specialist niches would have had to then compete with each other in some kind of arms race.

geologists have been studying the rocks on the garvellachs for decades — first on foot, using the only building on the island as a base, and more recently, using drones to create detailed computer—enhanced images of the rock layers. if the results are confirmed, these islands could be awarded a golden spike — that's an actual spike hammered in — to celebrate the location of a planet changing geological moment. so tell me what you're doing, elias — you're hammering in the golden... the golden spike. laughter. elias rugen imagines what it might be like to receive one of science's greatest accolades. it would be fantastic. golden spikes around the world are a reasonably big deal. the previous one that was ratified was from 30 years ago, so it doesn't happen that often. do you think you'll get it? i'm hoping so. i think it's definitely the leading candidate. i don't think there's many other

layers of rock and sections around the world that come close. so i'm quite confident, yeah. these are thejudges of the golden spike — a group of the world's leading geologists on the scottish island, seeing for themselves what all the fuss is about. among the most influential of them is the secretary of the international subcommission on the era. scotland can get the golden spike. the chance is very high, based on the garvellach formation. presented, a great example — excellent example of the potential candidate of the golden spike. the researchers will find out next year whether they — and scotland — have won the golden spike. but in the meantime, they press on with their research, studying the rocks that hold the key to the emergence of the first complex life on earth. pallab ghosh, bbc news. david schultz, professor of meteorology at the university of manchester, joins us now.

live from london. this is bbc news. negotiators in qatar enter their second day of talks to secure a ceasefire in gaza and the release of israeli hostages. us officials describe discussions as constructive, despite hamas not attending. global concerns over a new wave of mpox surging in africa. china bolsters screening of travellers as the first case of the more dangerous strain is detected in europe. thailand's youngest—ever prime minister takes the helm, parliament voting in the 37—year—old daughter of the country's former leader. prosecutors investigating matthew perry's death say they've uncovered a criminal network dealing ketamine to the friends star.

hello, i'm lauren taylor. we start in the middle east. gaza ceasefire talks are due to resume in qatar, after what a us official has described as a 'constructive' first day of discussions on thursday. israeli representatives are attending, but hamas, which runs gaza, has stayed away, accusing israel of changing its terms since previous rounds of talks. a hamas official also reiterated that, "any agreement must achieve a comprehensive ceasefire, a complete israeli withdrawal from gaza and the return of the displaced." on thursday, the hamas—run health ministry reported that the number of palestinians killed in gaza has passed 40,000, although israel disputes the figure. later, the families of israeli hostages still held captive in gaza following hamas's october the 7th attacks gathered to demand a deal to secure their release, with several thousand marching in tel aviv. let's speak to our middle east correspondent, yolande knell.
