personally, but i am not a charity. i've given enough and i've given a substantial amount to turn it into what it is now, a beautiful pub. but it's a business that's losing money. at the end of the day the family want to sell the pub as a pub, not changing it into a house. whoever buys it can do what they want knowing that they have a safety net of the fact they can turn it into residential and do whatever they want to do with it, but the vindictiveness from the locals towards the family, who has been here 18 years, is unforgivable. pauli here 18 years, is unforgivable. paul sa s his here 18 years, is unforgivable. paul says his wife's _ here 18 years, is unforgivable. paul says his wife's family _ here 18 years, is unforgivable. paul says his wife's family have spent more than £100,000 over the last few years on renovation work to try to keep the pub running, but in the meeting many residents expressed their concerns. pm meeting many residents expressed their concerns.— their concerns. an industry expert who specialises _ their concerns. an industry expert who specialises in _ their concerns. an industry expert who specialises in valuing - their concerns. an industry expert who specialises in valuing pubs i their concerns. an industry expert | who specialises in valuing pubs say the accounts show that ran differently, the checkers could prosper, as it has in the past.

later. there are hopes one of england's most endangered birds can make a comeback after being reintroduced to the fenlands of norfolk. the corncrake is a small, secretive bird known for its distinctive call which it sings from dusk until dawn. conservationists say at least nine calling males were heard this year, up from only three in 2021. our reporter debbie tubby has been out to try and spot one. the corncrake, the corncra ke, with the corncrake, with its distinctive call, was almost extinct in england in the 1960s. now it's starting to thrive in a small pocket of east anglia thanks to what's thought to be the only breeding programme of its kind in the world. tucked away in these aviaries are to be called chicks that arrived this morning. be called chicks that arrived this morninu. , ., ., , ., morning. the newest arrivals are in these pens — morning. the newest arrivals are in these pens on _ morning. the newest arrivals are in these pens on the _ morning. the newest arrivals are in these pens on the right-hand - morning. the newest arrivals are in these pens on the right-hand side. these pens on the right—hand side and we have some slightly older further down. they have been bred in liberty at pencil and then hidden here away

from humans to keep them wild. when they are four to 16 weeks old, in the wild they have been naturally kicked out by mum, so we extend that process by bringing them here and going in these pens. we then look after them for about three to four weeks, and once they are 35 to a0 days old they will be released out onto the washes on our reserve. it's the only population in the uk of any significance, so it's really important. three years ago there were only three male calls recorded on this site. now they've recorded nine, which probably means there are just as many females as well. corncrake �*s only live for two years. they have limited flight. at the moment 10% of the 100 birds released from well me manage the epic migration to sub—saharan africa and back, returning to the exact same site here at welny. where are we off to? mac we go to the washes, where we can see

looking for dinner. and we don't have to look far. when you start to investigate they become like friends. youjust see, oh, look, there's the oarweed coming up, and over here the sea spaghetti. it's absolutely amazing. for ireland's coastal communities, seaweed has long been a staple food. it has everything you need. it has minerals, it has vitamins, all the b vitamins that we spend, you know, 20 or 30 euros buying across the shelf, it's all in here. there's a seal over there also looking for his dinner. hello, buddy. so what is on my seaweed board? we have some dillisk, or dulse. carrageenan, another traditional favourite. we have seagrass, beautiful green, also known as spirulina.
6:46 am
i recognise that one. mm—hmm. and then for something completely different, the queen of all seaweeds, or maybe the king, pepper dulse, the truffle of the sea. that's extraordinary. peppery. such a bite to it, such a kick. what's most extraordinary is the diversity under the kayak, different shapes, forms, textures, colours. it's quite extraordinary. even in the famine, people ate seaweed, but i think then it became associated with poverty and hunger. and now people are beginning to rediscover the amazing properties of seaweed. i have a long list of sporting heroes from the beautiful game, but at the very top, alongside pele, is george best. the man from belfast who took the footballing world by storm in the 1960s and 1970s,
6:47 am
playing from my beloved manchester united. that is why this next story was like a dream come true, and a little bit surreal, if i'm totally honest. ~ . . little bit surreal, if i'm totally honest. ~ ., ., he was a key part of the iconic manchester united team that in 1968 became the first english side to win the european cup. and off the pitch, he wasjust as famous for his glamorous, hard—partying lifestyle which led to the nickname the fifth beatle. george best had changed sides. and it all began here, in belfast�*s cregagh estate, where fans now have the chance to stay at his childhood home. hello, you must be peter. lam. welcome to george best's house. come on on in.
6:48 am
thank you very much. wow! so, this is the main room. uh-huh. the bests would have lived in this house from 19a8, so we've recently put the house back to as it would've been in 1961, when george first went over to manchester as a 15—year—old in search of fame and fortune. so, that's his mother. yes, the photograph, then, shows george with his mother, annie, and this photograph was taken on his parents�* 25th silver wedding anniversary, so they would've been stood in this very room. i mean, this is a 20th—century legend, icon and he would've been here and this picture was there. wow. how easy was it to source this kind of furniture? just came from a number of sources, local charity shops, antique dealers, etc. the bests were the only family to live in this house.
6:49 am
george's mother, ann, died in 1978 but his father, dickie, lived here for 60 years, until his death in 2008. so, this is the kitchen. this is the kitchen, yes. again, done as it would've been in 1961. it's very much retro—fied, so we have the belfast sink here and even the modern units like the fridge—freezer have got a retro feel about them. wow! this isn't from 1961, though, is it? no, you can eat those and be safe. the house was bought by a local non—profit group called eastside partnership and, in its new retro—furnished state, is now available as a holiday rental. so, all of the proceeds that we get from the use of this house are used to support other community projects in east belfast. tourists have come here and tell me what their reaction has been like.
6:50 am
oh, the reaction's been fantastic. a lot of manchester united fans would stay here, but also just local people who just want the opportunity to see the house and stay in the house as well. so, peter's gone and here i am. this retro stuff is incredible. i mean, this was a guy who i'd pretty well worshipped as a child so to be in his house — this shrine, really — it's throwing me, to be honest with you. this year, the partnership has introduced an audio tour, featuring memories from george's sister, barbara. when mum and dad first moved in, it was much smaller... but peter has gone one better for my stay and organised a visit from barbara herself... there's a picture there. ..together with george's childhood friend, robin. that's me. yeah? yeah. and there is you—know—who. what do you think, barbara,
6:51 am
of the idea that people can come here and stay the night? in his later years, george suffered a very public battle with alcoholism. but up until his death in 2005, this house was always a refuge. 16 burren way here in the cregagh estate was where he was brought up and this was where he felt safe. we tried to protect him, and george knew that when he came here, he wasn't open to the media scrutiny that he would have been across the water — isn't that right, barbara?
6:52 am
yes, yes, yes, yes. he felt safe, yeah. right, well, it's night—time and it feels a bit intrusive but, anyway, this is obviously one of the bedrooms that the family lived in. but not only am i staying in the same house, i'm actually going to be sleeping in the very room that he had as a child. it's a kind of medium—sized room, the kind of room that any 12—year—old, 13—year—old boy would have, i guess. i wonder what he would've made of this. hopefully, he would've found it quite funny. right, it's time for me to get some sleep, although i'm not completely tired yet. i need some reading material.
6:53 am
and i think this should do the trick. goodnight. that is almost it at our look—back back at stories from the emerald isle, but before we go, here is a story harking back to the old days, long before online dating, when the matchmaker was a key figure in rural ireland, and there is one place in the west of the country where every year, they still are, as christer found out when she went looking for love. the lisdoonvarna matchmaking festival is europe's largest singles event, attracting up to 50,000 people each year. it has been a local tradition for over 160 years. the festival was originally designed to help find wives for lonely farmers at the end of the harvest season. the past half—century, willie daly has been the town's matchmaker in chief, using skills

6:59 am
here.
7:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with luxmy gopal and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: us secretary of state antony blinken is on his way to israel as efforts continue for a ceasefire and hostage release deal in gaza. undignified and made to feel like a burden — a mother and daughter with mobility issues call for more to be done make air travel more accessible.
7:01 am
as she celebrates with team gb stars, gold medallist keely hodgkinson sets her sights on her next challenge: the 800m world record. i don't see it as something that's too far away now and i'd love to see how close i can get to it. in sport, arsenal are hoping to deny manchester city a fifth premier league title in a row and they made a positive start to their season — bukayo saka sealing a victory over wolves at the emirates. good morning. it's going to be another day of dry weather with some sunny spells across most parts of the uk. all change into next week, though, getting wet and windy for some of us. i will bring you the full forecast very shortly. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, is travelling to israel for talks with benjamin netanyahu amid continued efforts to secure a ceasefire in the region. the united states and israel have suggested cautious optimism following talks at the end of last week. however, a senior hamas official told the bbc there had been no progress. greg mckenzie has the story.
7:02 am
images from across the region over the weekend show there are still huge obstacles to peace despite two days of us—backed talks in qatar. on friday night, an israeli airstrike reportedly killed 15 people in the central area of gaza. although israel said it had eliminated a number of armed fighters, several women and children were also reportedly killed. us secretary of state antony blinken will arrive in the region to promote what is being called a final bridging proposal aimed at overcoming the differences between hamas and israel, which would hopefully lead to a ceasefire and the release of hostages in exchange for palestinian prisoners being held in israeli jails.
7:03 am
in tel aviv, thousands took to the streets, including anti—government protesters and some of the relatives of hostages still in gaza, who are calling the current negotiations the last chance to get some of them out alive. all of the 130 hostages are paying a political price because they could have come already with a deal such a long time ago. so many people could have come alive, but instead they are going to come home dead bodies. there's an urgency for the next round of talks to succeed, with fears the conflicts in gaza and either side of israel's northern border could escalate into a wider regional war. but hamas officials have already dismissed american optimism as an illusion.
7:04 am
some distance, perhaps, between the two sides in their expectations. our correspondentjenny hill is in tel aviv for us. good morning, jenny. thank you for joining us. antony blinken set to arrive in israel, obviously hoping to achieve a ceasefire and get the hostages back but there seems to be a bit of distance between the two sides on this?— sides on this? yes. and, to be honest, sides on this? yes. and, to be honest. we — sides on this? yes. and, to be honest, we simply _ sides on this? yes. and, to be honest, we simply don't - sides on this? yes. and, to be honest, we simply don't know| sides on this? yes. and, to be - honest, we simply don't know what will happen next. the us is continuing to push hard to get israel and hamas to agree to a deal and, to that end, mr blink and we'll sit down for talks with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu tomorrow. the us is also continuing tomorrow. the us is also continuing to project positivity around the chances of success. joe biden has said that they are closer to a deal than ever. benjamin netanyahu's
7:05 am
office issued a statement overnight expressing cautious optimism about progress but — and it's a big but — hamas is calling that positivity and optimism and illusion. a senior official told the bbc that no progress has been made. as all this urgency and diplomacy goes on, the war in gaza rages on. it's a war that it's feared is on the verge of escalating into all—out conflict across the middle east. as antony blinken's plane makes its way towards israel, he knows that the stakes could not be higher. indeed. jenny, thank you. jenny live this morning in tel aviv. the anniversary of the seventh of october, where it all began last year, is now only a few weeks away. the un's nuclear watchdog says the safety situation at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in russian—occupied ukraine
7:06 am
is deteriorating, following a drone strike near its perimeter. it said the impact was close to essential cooling water sprinkler ponds and about 100 metres from the only remaining high—voltage line supplying the plant with power. the international atomic energy agency did not say who carried out the strike. the home office says it will include extreme misogyny among types of extremism which the government should take steps to tackle. it's started a review to address gaps in the system. political correspondent charlotte rose joins us now. how does the government plan to put this into practice?— this into practice? home secretary yvette cooper _ this into practice? home secretary yvette cooper is _ this into practice? home secretary yvette cooper is planning - this into practice? home secretary yvette cooper is planning a - this into practice? home secretary yvette cooper is planning a step i yvette cooper is planning a step change for how the government tackles violent extremism on land
7:07 am
and offline. she has asked civil servants at the home office to do what's called a rapid review into gaps in the current system, in particular looking at how these beliefs promote violence and undermine democracy. it will look at the rising islamist and far right extremism but also interestingly in extreme misogyny and what fits into broader categories like fixation on violence. she says she's asked for evidence about what can be done to try to tackle what she calls harmful and hateful beliefs and to disrupt and hateful beliefs and to disrupt and divert people away from those activities. there might be questions about whether this has been prompted by recent violence and riots across the uk, but actually this appeared in labour�*s manifesto and it appears to be something the party has been thinking about for some time. yvette cooper has accused the previous government of failing to address a rise in extremism, saying there's been no counter extremism strategy
7:08 am
since 2016 and she says a particular problem is a focus on youth violence. she says this action is an attempt to address and fix a system that's been hollowed out by the previous government. around a50 households in county down have been urged to evacuate by 10 o'clock this morning after the discovery of a suspected second world war bomb. the device was found on friday at a building site in newtownards. residents have been told that making the bomb safe could take five days, or longer. somerset house in central london will remain closed today after a fire damaged the roof. the courtauld gallery, which is based in the historic building, will reopen today. the london fire brigade is investigating the cause of the fire after more than 120 firefighters tackled the blaze yesterday. the duke and duchess of sussex have visited a music school as their tour of colombia continues. on the penultimate day of their four—day trip prince harry and meghan were greeted by the sound of drums as they arrived
7:09 am
a the school in cartagena. south america correspondent lone wells has more. this may look like a typical sleepy saturday on the beach, but this colombian coastal city is preparing for a big vip visit. dozens of soldiers surrounded this traditional percussion school preparing for the arrival of prince harry and megan and the country's vice—president. the city of cartagena is the second place they have visited on their trip to colombia for the third day of their tour. the day was filled with cultural visits like this. they are here on the invitation of the vice president francia marquez, the first black woman to hold the role. she says she views the couple as two vital voices against injustice. prince harry and megan are just leaving this event now. like the second day of their visit, journalists weren't allowed
7:10 am
near the actual event but they say this visit and the plans for the rest of the day are about celebrating african history and heritage in the country. their next stop took them out of the city to a small village with strong connections to its african heritage. they were ushered in to meet some members of the community. organised for them were a few stalls to browse and some local music. the vice—president said on stage that this, in part, was about more than the violence the country has had a reputation for. celebrating the countries culture and history is what the rest of the tour will focus on. a week on from the olympics closing ceremony, some of team gb's medal winners have been celebrating their paris success with a homecoming party in manchester. just a warning, there is some flash photography injo currie's report from the red carpet. surely this is where keely has to put her foot down and where she goes away.
7:11 am
in paris, keely hodgkinson's worled turned golden. now she's back on home soil she is already targeting the 800 metre world record. for a number of years people thought it was impossible and i welcome the change in technology and the science, which is helping us get nearer to it, and i don't see it as far away and i would love how close i can get to it even for the athletes whose games didn't finish on the podium, this is an opportunity to reflect on and celebrate their olympicjourneys. i feel very fortunate to have had such an amazing amount of support and people celebrating my career as a whole. that's what i need to try to do, take my time and zoom out and reflect on this as a 2a year career. i am very proud. while some athletes are saying goodbye to their olympic careers, others are saying hello to theirs. it's been absolutely wild. olympic champion still doesn't feel real. to be here with a gold
7:12 am
around my neck is truly surreal. the homecoming saw athletes and fans treated to a concert involving artists like rag and bone man and jess glynn. the olympics may be over but their impact is only just getting started. you can watch team gb homecoming on bbc one at 8.30pm tonight. we will be speaking to one of the �*s medallists later. —— bronze. we will continue the sporting theme tenuously. a track normally used for horse racing in washington turned prehistoric as more than 200 people took part in races dressed in inflatable dinosaur costumes. it took place at the emerald downs race course in auburn. it's a 91—metre dash, with runners taking part in heats before making it to the final. the white one is miles ahead but the head looks a little bit weird.

7:24 am

7:25 am
seeing a wheelchairs get damaged, and nondisabled people being treated the same way as amy and her mother were, there would be an outcry. but there isn't. it has become normalised and bcaa is not responding with the same level of, the powers that we need them to have to respond proportionately and decisively enough for that to stop happening. we need the government to respond to that and make sure that we are protect more, because it incredibly frustrating. it was a year and a half ago, i incredibly frustrating. it was a yearand a half ago, i had my wheelchair broken at heathrow. enough is enough.— enough is enough. sophie, you mentioned _ enough is enough. sophie, you mentioned 14 _ enough is enough. sophie, you mentioned 14 years _ enough is enough. sophie, you mentioned 14 years ago - enough is enough. sophie, you mentioned 14 years ago you . enough is enough. sophie, you | mentioned 14 years ago you felt enough is enough. sophie, you - mentioned 14 years ago you felt that contributed to it. do you think it was better than? do you think the situation was better prior to the conservative government? h0. situation was better prior to the conservative government? no, ithink the problem — conservative government? no, ithink the problem has _ conservative government? no, ithink the problem has always _ conservative government? no, ithink the problem has always been - conservative government? no, ithink the problem has always been there, l the problem has always been there, but what we have seen is that nobody has done enough to stop it from happening. as you have pointed out,
7:26 am
i am not the first disabled person to come out in public and talk about the problems. you know, our stories are in the headlines and we see people like frank gardner being left on board, people likejoe and amy being mistreated, people like myself having our equipment is damaged. this has been going on for decades. what we haven't seen as a response thatis what we haven't seen as a response that is effective enough, robust enough. so what we are rights on flights are talking about is not just raising awareness of the problems, we have been doing that for decades. what we are actually trying to do is work with the government to say, look, this keeps happening, why not use this opportunity to make change in an effective way, and what we have done it rights on flights, we drafted what we call the assisted air travel act, which is a piece of legislation that we hope will improve upon the current laws that just do that we hope will improve upon the current laws thatjust do not go far enough to protect us in the uk, and we want to work with the government, we want to work with the government, we want to set out a sort of
7:27 am
roadmap, create a task force that is comprised of the disabled community, represented by all the types of people that need help, and also, industry stakeholders, and say, what can we do to do more, and how can we change this so this stops happening? because we have been saying enough is enough for such a long time. so thatis is enough for such a long time. so that is what we are hoping will be achieved when we next get our meeting with the transport secretary, and hopefully the aviation minister as well. is aviation minister as well. is it art of aviation minister as well. is it part of the — aviation minister as well. is it part of the problem _ aviation minister as well. is it part of the problem as well, sofia, that sits with all of us, in that one of the things that amy and jo said in that report was, as they were brought on board, people rolling their eyes, people were tutting as they had been waiting, and i appreciate there are ways to mitigate that, but we all have to be understanding and tolerance and respectful, don't we? what is your experience? {iii respectful, don't we? what is your exoerience?_ experience? of course. ithink unfortunately _
7:28 am
experience? of course. ithink unfortunately nondisabled - experience? of course. i think. unfortunately nondisabled people experience? of course. i think- unfortunately nondisabled people who have absolutely no lived experience of disability are not aware of the problems they are facing. the dock imitation that —— documentary that i recently made called fight to fly, we went undercover to show the failings of some of the airlines, and it was partly a lack of awareness, but i think the airports and the airlines are not unaware. they know full well what is happening. the nondisabled public might not know, and yes, we do get that with a lot of eye rolling and tutting and i think confusion, a lack of empathy about our situation... lack of empathy about our situation. . .— lack of empathy about our situation... , �* ., situation... doesn't that make you an: ? situation... doesn't that make you angry? no. _ situation... doesn't that make you angry? no. i— situation... doesn't that make you angry? no. i mean. _ situation. .. doesn't that make you angry? no, i mean, that— situation. .. doesn't that make you angry? no, i mean, that is- situation... doesn't that make you angry? no, i mean, that is the - situation... doesn't that make you | angry? no, i mean, that is the way life is. nondisabled people - angry? no, i mean, that is the way life is. nondisabled people walk. life is. nondisabled people walk around slightly unaware of the realities, you know, the consequences of being disabled in this world, it is not designed for us. it is not on them, this isn't about them. this is about the industry and the government and the
7:29 am
airports, this is on them to make sure that they do better. i am not going to start saying it matters to me that somebody is rolling their eyes. that is fine, whatever. one day you will probably have to make —— have to face the reality of your able is, because most people will become disabled at some point in their lives, and they will benefit from the accommodations we are asking for. but this isn't about those people. it is about the industry, it is about the government, saying that they see the crisis we are facing and wanting to respond fully, wanting to treat us like we aren't second—class citizens. we don't want to roll our eyes the same as they are, we want to listen and learn and act, because we have been hearing for a longtime but the government will do something, but as i said, they were ineffective previously. we have a new government, new opportunity, and thatis new government, new opportunity, and that is what we want to focus on. and i really can't stress enough that there are solutions to this problem. we focus a lot on the problem. we focus a lot on the problem. but there are solutions. they are really exciting. i have outlined some of them in my documentary. rights on flights is one of them, as i said, we drafted

7:31 am
matter of life or death, it is a matter of life because flying is part of living now. and if we're not able to access that, if we are not able to access that, if we are not able to access that, if we are not able to live life fully, i have to say, yes, i am very hopeful that are going to see some actions and some steps forward, but i have to say also, we will not let it stop, and we won't stop, sorry, until we do see that action.— see that action. your passion is, well, to see that action. your passion is, well. to say _ see that action. your passion is, well, to say that _ see that action. your passion is, well, to say that it _ see that action. your passion is, well, to say that it is _ see that action. your passion is, well, to say that it is obvious - see that action. your passion is, well, to say that it is obvious is l well, to say that it is obvious is understated. sophie, thank you. good luck with your meeting this week and we are really grateful to you for taking the time to get up early and speak to us on a sunday morning. sophie morgan. sorry if you are a bit squeamish about this. this one might make you squirm. residents in south tyneside say their area is being overrun by rats, with sightings increasing by nearly 50% in the last year. some people have blamed the build—up of rubbish following an eight month strike by refuse workers, but the local authority says there's a number of possible explanations including weather conditions and available food supply. our reporter andy

7:36 am
the season because manchester city, the season because manchester city, the champions, don't play until the penultimate match of the ten, so they had to watch manchester united win and also arsenal and liverpool won mikel arteta is hoping his arsenal team write some beautiful chapters of a story he hopes will end with them winning the premier league title. it's more than 20 years now since they did that, but their attempts to dethrone manchester city started encouragingly. they began their season with a 2—0 win against wolves. kai havertz opened the scoring at the emirates with a header laid on by bukayo saka and just as their opponents started to make arsenal sweat saka wrapped up the victory for arteta's side. i think we should have opened the gap in terms of the scoreline much earlier, with the amount of situation action we had, especially in the first half. but then i liked that we showed some grit and consistency, especially at defending where we had to be a bit deeper. and, yes, we had to give away,
7:37 am
especially in the first half, a little bit. it was a successful start to the arne slot era for liverpool as they got past premier league new boys ipswich at portman road. liverpool struggled to contain ipswich in the first half but diogojota capped off a spell of dominance in the second by converting with ease on the hour mark. mo salah got on the scoresheet as well just five minutes later, as slot began the post jurgen klopp era with a 2—0 win. people told me before i started, there is no easy game in the premier league, and i think today showed this, if you play a newly promoted club and they can give you so much resistance, as they did in the first half, it shows you how tough it is to win games over here. newcastle united got the better of promoted southampton despite having a man sent off in an ill—tempered match at st james' park. just before the half—hour mark, fabian schar clashed with southampton forward ben brereton diaz and the swiss defender�*s reaction saw him shown the red card. joelinton scored with newcastle's only shot on targetjust before the interval, aand the ill feeling

continued on the way to the changing rooms at half—time. everton's last season at goodison park started with a 3—0 defeat by brighton. simon adingra wrapping up the win for the youngest manager in the premier league's history, 31—year—old fabian hurzeler. still three games of the weekend to go but brighton are top. and aston villa beat west ham 2—1 at the london stadium. substitutejohn duran struck a late winner to seal the win against the club he was close to joining earlier in the summer. nottingham forest midfielder danilo was strechered off early in their 1—1 draw at home to afc bournemouth. and it's been confirmed that he's broken his ankle. forest had led 1—0 through chris wood, but bournemouth drew level late in the game when antoine semenyo bundled in the equaliser.
7:39 am
he has broken his ankle, so, yeah. it is serious. we are going to miss him, not only on the pitch, but he is a wonderful boy. you know him, always smiling, always with his joy. wish him the best. it's serious, but the good news is that he is stable, he's speaking, he's aware. so, we just need time. it's burnley who have made the biggest impression over the first couple of weeks of the championship season. they're attempting to immediately return to the premier league after being relegated last season and beat cardiff 5—0 at turf moor to register their second win out of two games so far. watford are the other team with a 100% record. celtic take on hibernian this afternoon in the pick of three second round league cup ties in scotland. they'll be hoping tojoin rivals and defending champions rangers in the quarter finals after they beat stjohnstone 2—0 at hampden park thanks to goals from cyriel dessers and ross mccausland. aberdeen, dundee, falkirk and spartans also went through. it's finals day
7:40 am
at the hundred today. in the men's competition southern brave booked their place at lord's after a thrilling win against birmingham phoenix. the teams finished level after both innings so the match went to a super 5, with chrisjordan hitting the winning runs for brave to set up a meeting with oval invincibles this evening. while in the women's event the oval invincibles couldn't make the final, beaten in the eliminator by the london spirit. the invincibles could only make 113 from their 100 balls. charlie dean doing most of the damage with the ball as she took three wickets, and spirit reached their target with nine balls to spare, with georgia redmayne scoring an unbeaten half century. they'll face welsh fire in the final at lord's later. super league's magic weekend in leeds continues later with hull kr aiming to take their oppornuity to go level on points with league leaders wigan. they play catalans dragons in one of three matches at elland road. yesterday warriors thrashed st helens by 20 points to nil to move two points clear at the top of the table. jack farrimond was named player of the match after scoring one of the wigan's three tries.

changed about here is i remember it being about three feet taller. i was probably a couple of feet shorter. it's heavy! i look at it it holds so many memories. when i am in here it is a special place in my heart. when i was there i definitely felt that pressure. i had so much family out there and theyjust happened to be in the seats right by where i started. the noise from all the parisians would fade and then i would hear all my family's noise. it was, like, "don't look". it meant the world to me to hear them but that one split second of looking at them and the emotion that would come wouldn't help. the gold would have been nice but i've got to be proud of myself. if you told me six months

7:49 am
left with a mixture of sunny spells and blustery showers. quite windy for many of us, but most frequently across scotland, northern ireland and north—western areas of england. that is where it will be quite cool. towards the south and the east with some sunny spells again, it will feel a little bit nicer, 23 or 24 celsius. ,, ., ., ~ , ., it's time now for the latest technology news, on this week's edition of click. this week, we're looking back at some of our favourite forms of transportation.
7:50 am
this is stilride i. it has one very unusual feature — its chassis is made from one piece of steel. all the curves, all the lines have been folded like origami, following a design by its creator, tue beijer. with the curve—folding, we dance with the metal. the reason is notjust about aesthetics. see, a typical scooter is assembled in special factories from more than 100 parts, and then it's shipped around the world. but for this bike, all that would need to be sent anywhere is the design. because a bike, if you would send a bike in a crate, you're just shipping air. you don't want to ship air.
7:51 am
whether you're in sweden, you're in england, you'll probably find sheet metal, right? so it's better to send the code rather than to send yourfinal product. that's a very, very efficient way to do it, you know? so you want to produce near the end customer. i've been given permission to fire the laser. the plan is for locally sourced steel to be laser—cut into the flat chassis pattern, and then for robots to bend it into the right shape like these ones are currently doing for other simpler objects. all in all, there are 15 components, including a saddle that also starts life flat. and once it's all been folded up, it comes here to be welded and it looks like this. while the design is still being perfected, the prototypes are bent manually. the curved folds in particular are hard to get your head around.
7:52 am
stilride has developed its own software to calculate how to get the shapes that they need — with help from a hand—cranked folding machine back at the office, that is. but i know what you're thinking. without all those bolts and screws and separate supports, can a folded piece of metal be strong enough to ride around on? if you put a straight fold into a material, it doesn't become that strong. because even if you lock one side of the fold, it can carry on bending like that. but if you put a curved fold into a material, then as you change the shape on one side of the fold, it forces the other side into a particular shape too. and that means if you lock this side into position, the whole structure becomes rigid. the best example i've seen of that is your french fries container, which is pretty flimsy when you're only using the straight folds on the edge, but there are two curved folds on the bottom,
7:53 am
and if you engage those, the whole thing locks into place and your chips don't fall out. the bike that we created now, or the chassis that we've done for the stilride i, compared to a competitor bike — it's a tubular frame, a typical scooter. we created a chassis that's even 50 times stronger or more stiff, rigid, than the tubular frame. stilride has bigger ambitions than just two wheels of steel. parts of larger vehicles could also be made this way, along with the footings for wind turbines that would imitate tree roots, and... really?! even whole bridges? well, maybe in sections. one step at a time, though. the scooter goes into production later this year and it'll cost 15,000 euros. 0k. from bikes to trains now.
7:54 am
these trains, being built in the heart of tuscany, are europe's first tri—mode trains to enter passenger service, having started running on routes in italy at the end of 2022. as well as being fitted with a pantograph for overhead power and a standard diesel engine, they're also fitted with a battery pack power unit and can be switched between modes. these trains are being manufactured by hitachi rail for italian rail operator trenitalia, based on hitachi rail's masaccio platform. the characteristic is that he can combine during the trip and change this technology in during the life, so without any sort of discontinuity and any sort of disruption. trenitalia brands their services
7:55 am
around different music genres, such as rock, pop orjazz. they've decided to brand their masaccio trains as blues. diesel trains are still necessary and are likely to be for some time, because of the wide variation in the amount of electrified lines, particularly across europe. so train manufacturers and railway operators across the world are looking at greener and more efficient ways to power their trains when external electric power isn't available. when it's near a station, the batteries power the train completely, cutting emissions and reducing noise. so what are some of the challenges with implementing battery technology in trains? is it weight or is it power consumption? it's a combination of these two items. so our experts and our designers are continuously working on it. reduce the weight means also reduce the energy and the consumption. and it's a problem of space, it's a problem of weight. so the evolution of the proposal for battery is improving this aspect. this is why, in terms of weight and size, it's ok, but now it will require test and test in order before to go on the market. despite this, hitachi claim these new trains will produce 50% less
7:56 am
emissions than regular diesel trains. currently, we are totally focused on battery solutions. of course, our research and development is working on it. but in terms of time to market, we are confident and believe that this solution will be...will have strong success in medium and short—term. like cars, the direction of travel for trains is towards that of battery power. but unlike cars, trains aren't quite there yet. now, trains like this specific one are a step in the right direction, but we're still quite a few years out from having fully battery—operated trains. but at least we're on the right track. time for a look at this week's tech news.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with luxmy gopal and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: the us secretary of state antony blinken is on his way to israel as efforts continue for a ceasefire and hostage release deal in gaza. gb's bronze—winning gymnast jake jarman about the chance encounter that led him into the sport. dinosaur discovery — we talk to the ten—year—old girl who stumbled upon the footsteps
8:02 am
of a prehistoric creature whilst walking on a welsh beach. another day of dry weather with sunny spells in most parts of the uk. all change into next week, though, turning wetter and windier for some of us. i will have the full forecast very shortly. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, is travelling to israel for talks with benjamin netanyahu amid continued efforts to secure a ceasefire in the region. the united states and israel have suggested cautious optimism following talks at the end of last week, however a senior hamas official told the bbc there had been no progress. greg mckenzie has the story. images from across the region over the weekend show there are still huge obstacles to peace despite two days of us—backed talks in qatar.
8:03 am
on friday night, an israeli airstrike reportedly killed 15 people in the central area of gaza. although israel said it had eliminated a number of armed fighters, several women and children were also reportedly killed. us secretary of state antony blinken will arrive in the region to promote what is being called a final bridging proposal aimed at overcoming the differences between hamas and israel, which would hopefully lead to a ceasefire and the release of hostages in exchange for palestinian prisoners being held in israeli jails. in tel aviv, thousands took to the streets, including anti—government protesters and some of the relatives of hostages still in gaza who are calling the current
8:04 am
negotiations as the last chance to get some of them out alive. the hostages are paying a political price because they could have come already with a deal such a longtime ago. so many people could have come alive but instead they are going to come home dead bodies. they're dead, there's an urgency for the next round of to succeed, with fears the conflicts in gaza and either side of israel's northern border could escalate into a wider regional war. but hamas officials have already dismissed american optimism as an illusion. greg mckenzie, bbc news. earlier, our correspondent jenny hill told us what the us secretary of state antony blinken is hoping to achieve on this visit. the us is continuing to push hard to get israel and hamas to agree to a deal.
8:05 am
and to that end, mr blinken will sit down for talks with the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, tomorrow. the us is continuing also to project positivity around the chances of success. joe biden has said that we are closer to a deal than we've ever been. benjamin netanyahu's office issued a statement overnight expressing cautious optimism on progress. but, and it's a big but, hamas is calling that positivity, that optimism an illusion. a senior official told the bbc that no progress has been made. and as all of this urgent diplomacy goes on, the war in gaza rages on. it's a war which it's feared is on the verge of escalating into all—out conflict across the middle east. and so, as antony blinken's plane makes its way towards israel,
8:06 am
he knows that the stakes could not be higher. there will be continuing coverage as antony blinken arrives in israel. the un's nuclear watchdog says the safety situation at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in russian—occupied ukraine is deteriorating following a drone strike near its perimeter. it said the impact was close to essential cooling water sprinkler ponds and about 100 metres from the only remaining high—voltage line supplying the plant with power. the international atomic energy agency did not say who carried out the strike.
8:07 am
the home office says it will include extreme misogyny among types of extremism which the government should take steps to tackle. it's started a review to address gaps in the system. our political correspondent charlotte rose joins us now. charlotte, what more can you tell us? the home secretary yvette cooper says there will be a step change in the way the government to tackle extremism to make sure communities are better protected online and off line. she has asked civil servants at the home office to undertake a rapid review of gaps in the current system, particularly looking at activity which promotes violence and undermines democracy. it will look at both the rise of islamist and far right extremism but also no extreme misogyny stop and in broader categories such as a fixation on violence. she says she has asked for evidence and ways to disrupt and divert people engaged in this kind of ideology and ways to crack down
8:08 am
on those spreading or pushing a hateful and harmful beliefs. there might be some questions about whether today's announcement is a response to the recent uk riots but this is something that appeared in the labour party election manifesto so clearly something they have been thinking about for some time and yvette cooper has accused the previous government of failing to do enough to tackle extremism saying there has been no new counter extremism strategy since 2015 deal with extremism amongst young people so she hopes today's announcement when will address that.
8:09 am
around 450 households in county down have been urged to evacuate by ten o'clock this morning, after the discovery of a suspected second world war bomb. the device was found on friday, at a building site in newtownards. residents have been told that making the bomb safe could take five days, or longer. somerset house in central london will remain closed today after a fire damaged the roof. the courtauld gallery which is based in the historic building will reopen today. the london fire brigade is investigating the cause of the fire after more than 120 firefighters tackled the blaze yesterday. the duke and duchess of sussex have visited a music school as their tour of colombia continues. on the penultimate day of their four—day trip prince harry and meghan were greeted by the sound of drums as they arrived a the school in cartagena. our south america correspondent, lone wells, has more. this may look like a typical sleepy saturday on the beach, but this colombian coastal city is preparing for a big vip visit. dozens of soldiers surrounded this traditional percussion school, preparing for the arrival of prince harry and meghan and the country's vice president. the city of cartagena is the second place they have visited on their trip to colombia for the third day of their tour. the day was filled with
8:10 am
cultural visits like this. they are here on the invitation of vice president francia marquez, the first black woman to hold that role. she said she views the couple as two vital voices against injustice. well, prince harry and meghan are just leaving this event now, like the second day of their visit journalists weren't allowed anywhere near the actual event itself, but they say that this visit and their plans for the rest of the day are about celebrating african history and heritage in the country. their next stop took them out of the city to a small village with strong connections to its african heritage. they were ushered in to meet some members of the community. organised for them were a few stalls to browse and some local music. the vice president said onstage that this was in part about showing that colombia is more than the violence it has had a reputation for. celebrating colombia's culture and history is what the remainder of their tour will focus on.
8:11 am
lone wells, bbc news in cartagena. a week on from the olympics closing ceremony, some of team gb's medal winners have been celebrating their paris success with a homecoming party in manchester. just a warning, there is some flash photography injo currie's report from the red carpet. surely this is where keely has to put her foot down and where she goes away. in paris, this is where keely hodgson's world turned golden. now team gb's back on home soil she is already targeting the 800m world record. i think for a number of years people thought it was impossible to get to.
8:12 am
i welcome the change in technology and the science, which is helping us get nearer, and i don't see it as far away and i would love to get there. even for the athletes whose games didn't finish on the podium, this is an opportunity to reflect on and celebrate their olympicjourneys. i feel very fortunate to have had such an amazing amount of support and people celebrating my career as a whole. that's what i need to try to do, take my time and zoom out and reflect on this as a 24—year career. so, yeah, i am very proud. while some athletes are saying goodbye to their olympic careers, others are saying hello to theirs. 19—year—old toby roberts' gold medal in climbing has put him and his sport in the spotlight. it's been absolutely wild. olympic champion still doesn't feel real. to be here with a gold around my neck is, like, truly surreal. the homecomings saw athletes and fans treated to a concert involving artists like rag'n'bone man and jess glynn. the olympics may be over but their impact is onlyjust getting started. jo currie, bbc news, manchester. we will speak to bronze medallist
8:13 am

8:16 am
keeping hold to the sunshine longest on monday and temperatures up to 24 or 25 degrees. elsewhere in the high teens to low 20s. on monday evening or monday night we have the full moon, the sturgeon moon, a superman. supermoon ——. it will be at its fullest and still there on tuesday night if you don't get a chance to see it. initially you will see it in eastern areas with clear skies but you can see this area are moving east overnight into tuesday with heavy to go with it. during tuesday morning that rain will still be across eastern areas and eventually clear and then we are left with a

you can watch team gb homecoming on bbc one at 8.30pm tonight. great british bake offjudge, paul hollywood, has said criticism over the closure of a pub owned by his wife family has been "unforgivable". melissa hollywood was supported by her husband as she was given permission by ashford borough council to turn the 600—year—old chequers inn into a home. the decision had faced huge opposition from local residents, as leanne rinne reports. in the very heart of the village, the chequers inn has stood here for more than 600 years. but yesterday, at a committee meeting, the owners of the historic pub were given permission to turn it into a home. unfortunately, the pub cannot survive on people drinking once or twice a week. it needs a steady flow of locals using it regularly for meals and other social activities. the pub has been run by celebrity chef paul hollywood's wife and herfamily for nearly two decades. at the end of the month,
8:27 am
it's earmarked to close because they cannot sustain the money that's coming in because there's no money coming in. i'm going to have to step in and help them out personally. but, you know, i'm not a charity. i'm not going to bejust... i've given enough. i have given a substantial amount of money to the pub to turn it into what it is now. it's a beautiful pub. but it's a business that's losing money. at the end of the day, the family want to sell the pub as a pub. they're not changing it into a house, they're keeping it as a pub. whoever buys it can do what they want, knowing that they have a safety net of the fact that they can turn it to residential and do whatever they want to do with it. but the vindictiveness from the locals towards the family who have been here 18 years is unforgivable. paul says his wife's family have spent more than £100,000 over the last few years on renovation work to try and keep the pub running, but in the meeting, many residents expressed their concerns. an industry expert who specialises
8:28 am
in valuing pubs said that the accounts show that run differently. the chequers could prosper as it has in the past. meanwhile, today in the village, locals refused to speak to us on camera because ofjust how divisive the issue has become. the owners say they have no choice but to close the pub at the end of the month, but they say it is still up for sale and they hope, like many people in the village, that the new owners will keep it as a pub. but of course that future is far from certain. that report was from leanne rinne. we're here on the bbc news channel and bbc two until nine this morning, and coming up in the next half—hour we'll meet the ten—year—old girl who stumbled upon the footsteps of dinosaurs from more than 200 million years ago while on holiday in wales. all that to come on the bbc
8:29 am
news channel and bbc two.(pres r)but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. bye for now.
8:30 am
hello, this is breakfast with luxmy gopal and rogerjohnson. thank you very much if you have just followed us over from bbc one. thank you very much if you have just followed us overfrom bbc one. we are on the bbc news channel and bbc until 9am. sand dunes are the first natural line of defence against flooding and coastal erosion, but during the last 150 years, more than 80% of the dunes on the lancashire coastline have been lost. a project to secure them, using discarded christmas trees, began in lytham in 2013 and is starting to show promising results. our reporterjudy hobson can explain. these dunes once stretched for miles inland, but not any more. they had to make way for housing and roads.
8:31 am
and now just 20% of these lancashire dunes remain. sand dunes are hugely important for many different reasons. first and foremost, they act as a wonderful soft sea defence. so in years gone by, you know, there's lots of people that would have put hard sea defences in through sea walls. but i think we're finally realising that actually nature based solutions play a huge role in coastal defence now. and sand dunes and salt marsh act as a buffer between the land and the sea. removing sand dunes has left towns along the coast here vulnerable to flooding. in recent years, though, there's been a huge effort to widen the dunes once again. this whole area has widened by up to 100m. hopefully we can go out another ten to 20m. the work that we're doing is pushing mean high water back. planting marram grass helps to bind the sand together, but over the years, volunteers have also placed christmas trees here to make the dunes even more secure. it's very effective, so we've been using it since 2013. we were definitely not the first sand dunes project
8:32 am
to use christmas trees, but i think we are one of the longest standing now and it's worked extremely well. so much so that it's acted as a case study for lots of other dune projects around the uk. sand dunes also provide a rare habitat. the land is owned by the local councils, who recently worked with conservation groups to introduce these creatures. sand lizards, i love sand lizards. they weren't playing ball today though. this footage was filmed by bbc springwatch. so we released them over four years, 412 in total, and myjob now is to monitor that population, to see where they're spreading, how many we've got and if they're breeding. we've seen over 70 this year, which is really good. previous years we've seen about 50, 40—50. so as we had the right habitat here, it was the perfect opportunity to get them out here. we can carry on building the dunes out towards the sea. eventually we'll hit mean high tide where we'll lose more dunes than we're making. and that'll be the point where we stop. the fylde sand dunes project is currently being funded by the environment agency until 2027, but it's hoped this essential project will be able

8:34 am
only £20 million, they are one of the richest clubs of the world. chelsea have played 11 —— made 11 signings. the former pep guardiola assistant who is now chelsea boss after bringing leicester up this season has 43 players at his disposal. 50 season has 43 players at his disosal. season has 43 players at his disposal-— season has 43 players at his disposal. season has 43 players at his disosal. ., ., disposal. so the need to get rid of some! i wonder— disposal. so the need to get rid of some! i wonder if— disposal. so the need to get rid of some! i wonder if they _ disposal. so the need to get rid of some! i wonder if they wanted i disposal. so the need to get rid of some! i wonder if they wanted to l disposal. so the need to get rid of i some! i wonder if they wanted to ask him if he knew _ some! i wonder if they wanted to ask him if he knew the _ some! i wonder if they wanted to ask him if he knew the names _ some! i wonder if they wanted to ask him if he knew the names of - some! i wonder if they wanted to ask him if he knew the names of all i some! i wonder if they wanted to ask him if he knew the names of all of i him if he knew the names of all of his players at the press conference on friday! manchester city begin the defence of their premier league title later. they're in action against chelsea, a team they couldn't beat in the league last season. the champions became the first team in history to win the top flight title four times in a row and also haven't lost in the premier league since december. but pep guardiola says it's going to take a lot of work to make it five. 140 points to play, we start from zero everyone, and we will see. if we are going to conquer, we have to conquer again. because they are not going to give us now the premier league for 2a—25 season, so we have to do it.
8:35 am
so i understand because normally when people say, we are favourites, i will not accept it. when you have won four in a row, six and seven, it's normal to accept we are favourites. we have to live with that but i know what we have to do. this is point by point, it must be, must we win, and of course every season is more and more difficult. it's burnley who have made the biggest impression over the first couple of weeks of the championship season. they're attempting to immediately return to the premier league after being relegated last season and beat cardiff 5—0 at turf moor to register their second win out of two games so far. watford are the other team with a 100% record having played twice. celtic take on hibernian this afternoon in the pick of three second round league cup ties in scotland. they'll be hoping tojoin rivals and defending champions rangers in the quarter finals after they beat stjohnstone 2—0 at their temporary home of hampden park thanks to goals from cyriel dessers and ross mccausland. aberdeen, dundee, falkirk and spartans also went through. the fa cup final may be nine months
8:36 am
away but 272 non—league clubs are taking part in the preliminary round of the competition this weekend ahead of the long journey to wembley and at this stage replays are still in place, with ashington and bishop auckland needing one after their 1—1 draw in a north east derby. cyril giraud conjured up a second half equaliser for ashington to ensure they'll have to do it all again. it's final�*s day at the hundred today. in the men's competition southern brave booked their place at lord's after a thrilling win against birmingham phoenix. the teams finished level after both innings so the match went to a super five with chrisjordan hitting the winning runs for brave to set up a meeting with oval invincibles this evening. while in the women's event the oval invincibles couldn't make the final, beaten in the eliminator by the london spirit. the invincibles could only make 113 from their 100 balls. charlie dean doing most of the damage with the ball as she took three wickets. spirit reached their target with nine balls to spare with georgia redmayne scoring an unbeaten half century.
8:37 am
they'll face welsh fire in the final at lord's later. lord's might be the oldest major cricket ground in the world but it didn't stage the first test match. that happened in 1877 at the melbourne cricket ground and australia and england will play a one—off test there to mark its 150th anniversary. the two teams will return to the mcg in march 2027, just like they did 100 years on from that first test. the match in 1977 remarkably ended in exactly the same way as in 1877. a 45 run win for australia. super league's magic weekend in leeds continues later with hull kr aiming to take their oppornuity to go level on points with league leaders wigan. they play catalans dragons in one of three matches at elland road. yesterday warriors thrashed st helens by 20 points to nil to move two points clear at the top of the table. jack farrimond was named player of the match after scoring one of the wigan�*s three tries.
8:38 am
charley hull is three shots off the lead going into the final round of golf on the women's tour before the open next week. she's on nine under at the scottish open but it's america's lauren coughlin who has a one shot advantage over compatriot megan khang ahead of the final day at dundonald links after six birdies in her round of 66. much was made of emma finucane�*s historical medal haul at the paris olympics becoming the first british woman for 60 years to claim three medals at the same games. but nobody from wales has ever done that before and the cyclist has gone from paris to her home in carmarthen where chris wathan caught up with her. you see what you can see. talk us going through what's going at that point of the race. when we crossed the line, i was like, have we done it or have we not? wow. and at this point, you know? i look up and i was like, i saw world record. and i was like, no way. and then ijust saw like gb flags and stuff and i was like, we've done it. and it's the best day
8:39 am
of my life, honestly. that's my family. oh, i loved them being there. emma, thanks for sharing your homecoming with us. we've just watched some of the footage back and now we're back where it all started. a bit different to the palace velodrome. yeah. it feels so nice being back home to be honest. i haven't been home very often, so, yeah, it's really nice to come back here and see all my family and friends back in wales, because that's what it's all about to me. it's all aboutjust being home, being with the people who love and support me. and yeah, it was a crazy week last week and ijust can't believe i have these around my neck, to be honest. but yeah, being back in wales has been lovely. it must seem surreal because you've spent so long working towards it. never mind four years, you spent a lifetime working towards it now, and you've got three reminders that it is very much real, it did actually happen. yeah, definitely. as an athlete, this is the pinnacle of track cycling, the olympics, like everyone dreams about this. i've dreamt about this since i was about ten years old, and to be an olympian last week was unreal, like it was,
8:40 am
i was living my teenage dream and now to actually have three medals around my neck, on top of being an olympian, i just couldn't have imagined anything else. and i was just really proud of how i conducted myself, how the week went. obviously, it was an emotional roller coaster, but yeah, i'm just really proud of who i am and how it happened. ijust hope i can inspire young kids. like, istarted here and i rode my bike around this velodrome when i was ten, so i just tell anyone to just get stuck in and give it a go because it is a really cool sport. i know towy riders are so proud of you. there's one or two around here already today. we were with them watching you in the in the keirin final. i know you saw the footage as well. that must give you such a thrill to know that you're inspiring people like victoria pendleton inspired you? yeah, definitely. victoria pendleton is such an inspiration to me. and i actually met her properly for the first time in paris, and i literally nearly cried because obviously, as young kids you look up to people who you want to be like, and i hope i inspire towy riders,
8:41 am
like my local club, and it was really nice that they all came together to watch me, because that's what it's about. it's about having these clubs and these groups, watching people push their bodies to limits and then wanting to be like that. and i hope they love it as much as i do. and i hope people get on the bikes and just smile and give it a go, because that's why i started. i started riding because i met so many new friends and it was such a community. and yeah, i'm just proud to be welsh and proud to be from towy riders. yeah, hopefully i can give back to the community that love and support me no matter what i do. you're not going to give them the medals though, they're round your neck. i know you don't wear them all the time. they look incredible. thank you. what do you do with them? i actually had them under my pillow, throughout the week, because obviously i had three events, so ijust had to keep going. but i'lljust keep them out for a while, and then i'll probably put them in a frame in my house at some point, and definitely look at them every day to remind me of what i did, because i don't think it'll ever sink in. like, ijust can't believe it. you could get a few more.
8:42 am
when does it start for los angeles 2028? you can enjoy this now. when does it start? yeah, i'll definitely be enjoying this. and we have obviously in four years now until la, which is a really big cycle. so we have quite a lot of world championships between. i have a lot of european rounds, and i'lljust keep racing and learning on my bike and then la infouryears�* time, hopefully i'll be a better version of myself again. and yeah, putting up a fight again. well, emma, thanks for sharing your homecoming with us. and more importantly, thanks for bringing the medals home to wales. that's ok, don't worry. thank you. that was chris wathan reporting. i wonder, they say the medals are heavy, there are easy that emma might not be wearing them all the time because if she carried on wearing them she could be ruled out with a neck injury, having to wear three all the time.— three all the time. yes, you will need a neck _ three all the time. yes, you will need a neck brace _ three all the time. yes, you will need a neck brace to _ three all the time. yes, you will need a neck brace to put - three all the time. yes, you will need a neck brace to put up - three all the time. yes, you will| need a neck brace to put up with that weight. need a neck brace to put up with that weight-— need a neck brace to put up with that weiuht. ~ ., _, , ., that weight. what comes next, four ears' that weight. what comes next, four years' time. — that weight. what comes next, four years' time. we _ that weight. what comes next, four years' time, we are _ that weight. what comes next, four years' time, we are not— that weight. what comes next, four years' time, we are not giving - that weight. what comes next, four years' time, we are not giving them any time of our weight?— any time of our weight? welcome home, a

8:44 am
blustery wind this morning, fading this afternoon. some cloud will thin and break bringing sunny spells into the afternoon but clear skies this morning, fairweather cloud building up, 25 is the maximum in the south—east, 19 in scotland. clear skies tonight in england and wales, northern ireland and scotland gets increasing cloud into monday morning. overnight, eight to 12 celsius, in the countryside it could be quite fresh, mid—single figures first thing tomorrow morning. that will set up a week which will be unsettled, a bit of sunshine, but also quite wet and windy. you can see that whether coming behind me here, this area of low pressure moving in. these are the isobars, closer together meaning it will be windier. the rain is moving through northern ireland into scotland,
8:45 am
eventually western fringes of england and wales getting the rain, some of it turning heavy through the afternoon. windy conditions, especially around the irish sea coast. towards the midlands, eastern part of england, staying dry and bright, whether sunshine holds on for most of the day, temperatures getting to 25 degrees. elsewhere temperatures typically in the high teens to the low 20s. monday night, we will have the full sturgeon super moon, but there will be a lot of cloud and rain sweeping west to east through the night into tuesday morning. all driven by this area of low pressure. tuesday morning starts wet in the south—east, heavy rain here, that will clear away. then we will be left with a mixture of sunny spells and showers, blustery showers frequent in northern and western areas of scotland and northern ireland, still 2a in the south—east.
8:46 am
thank you, simon. we are going to talk dinosaurs in a moment but before that, something which is endangered at the moment. there are hopes one of england's most endangered birds can make a comeback, after being reintroduced to the fenlands of norfolk. the corncrake is a small, secretive bird known for its distinctive call which it sings from dusk until dawn. conservationists say at least nine calling males were heard this year, up from only three in 2021. our reporter debbie tubby has been out to try and spot one. the corncrake, with its distinctive call, was almost extinct in england in the 1960s. now it's starting to thrive in a small pocket of east anglia, thanks to what's thought to be the only breeding programme of its kind in the world. so these are the corncrake pens. tucked away in these aviaries are two week old chicks that arrived this morning.
8:47 am
so newest arrivals are in these pens on the right hand side over here. we've got some that are slightly older further down the pen as well. they've been bred in captivity at pensthorpe, then hidden here away from humans to keep them wild. when the chicks are 1a to 16 days old, in the wild, they'd naturally be kicked out by mum. so we're extending that process by then, bringing them over here to us at welney and going in these pens, and we then look after them for about three to four weeks. and then once they're 35 to a0 days old, they'll get released out onto the washes on our reserve. it's the only population we've really got in the uk of any significance. so it's very, very important. three years ago, there were only just three male calls recorded on this site. now they've recorded nine, which probably means there isjust as many females as well. corncrakes only live for two years. they have limited flight. at the moment, 10% of the 100 birds released from welney each year manage the epic migration to sub—saharan africa and back, returning to the exact same site here at welney. where are we off to? so we are going to go to the washes, where we can see where
8:48 am
the wild corncrakes end up. how often would you actually see one of these birds in the wild? so they're really secretive. you might see them when they first arrive in april. but majority of the time you will never see a corncrake. you'll just hear their sort of distinctive sound. so no point looking for them really? yeah. if you see one, you're doing incredibly well, but unlikely. the birds love these wetlands, relying on the grassland to breed and raise their young. so i think the aim, you know, we'd love to hear 30 birds calling at night, which would be incredible. and if we get more than that, that'd be, you know, amazing. so yeah, really, really excited. but they're proud of what they've achieved here so far. restoring lost wildlife to the wetlands. debbie tubby, bbc news.
8:49 am
from birds to dinosaurs, not entirely unrelated. when ten—year—old tegan went for a summer holiday beach walk with her mum, she had no idea they were walking in the footsteps of dinosaurs. that was until she spotted five enourmous footprints. experts believe the footprints date back to the late triassic period 220 million years ago. the discovery is part of a new bbc iplayer documentary. let's take a look. right, where are these footprints, are they off to the side over here? i think they're over here. okey dokey. since claire and tegan last visited, the constantly changing tides have rearranged the beach. it means they'll have to search again for their potential new find. this looks like the right place.
8:50 am
are these, these... yeah. these were the little pockets that we cleared out. - yeah. every time the tide comes in, it covers it. it's hard to get out. yes. so this looks pretty good. i think you might be right here. there's another one there. we're talking half to three quarters of a metre between each one. these might be tegan's footprints forevermore. we're delighted to have tegan and her mum claire with us now. and also from the documentary, palaeontologist cindy howells joins us from cardiff. good morning, everyone. thank you forjoining us. we will talk to in a moment, cindy. let's start with both
