denies. taylor swift has made her first public statement about the cancellation of her three sell—out shows in vienna earlier this month, which were due to security concerns. the singer wrote on instagram that an alleged terror plot had filled her with a new sense of fear. she said she was grateful to the austrian authorities that their actions amount to, in her words, we were grieving for concerts and not lives. students across england, wales and northern ireland will find out of their gcse and btec results this morning. forthis their gcse and btec results this morning. for this year their gcse and btec results this morning. forthis year group, most of their secondary morning. for this year group, most of their secondary school life morning. forthis year group, most of their secondary school life has been affected by covid. grading is expected to be restored to pre—pandemic levels. kate mcgough has more. from starting in year seven, to now sitting their gcses... nice and quietly, thank you. ..this is the class of covid. these pupils were just a few months into starting secondary school when the first national lockdown was introduced. obviously, our whole secondary school career kind of thing has been affected by covid.

i think i felt a little bit lost, to be honest. none of us were really expecting l that it would last for so long. l here at brighouse high school in west yorkshire, teachers and staff have worked hard to overcome the disruption caused by covid, but some problems still persist. more than one in five children in england are frequently missing school. that's double what it was before the pandemic. certainly for a few years that attendance has been particularly down. i know there's been a lot of talk about how working from home has an impact on that with parents. you know, we certainly reflect that national pattern of sometimes friday's attendance can be a little bit down on the rest of the week, but i'm pleased to say it's getting back to pre—covid levels now. mr yasin is head of year 11 and says the pandemic has led to an increase in anxiety for those taking gcses. when i see them now, i think to myself, they've only really had three years of high school, just over three years of high school, and it's been a very emotionaljourney. students who were a little bit nervous and anxious anyway

when they started high school, that was heightened considerably, i think, when the lockdowns kicked in. and we have had many requests, which we've tried our best to fulfil, of accommodating students elsewhere so they can do their exams with a few more rest breaks,, mainly in a smaller setting. gcse results are almost back to where they were pre—pandemic, after teacher—assessed grades led to record numbers of top marks. this will be the last year of gcses where there are concessions. in england, pupils have been given formula sheets in maths and science. the formula sheet has helped me so much in maths and physics, and i think they should keep it because i think it's quite unfair the amount they've got to remember, especially on top of all the other content, especially in physics. the pandemic has been daunting, but these pupils have also found positives. i think it was a rocky start for us for sure, but um, coming into year ten and 11, i think it's actually brought _ the year group quite together and we're quite close now. i we have good relationships -

with our teachers too, which i think helps us with our learning, and i has done for the past five years. kate mcgough, bbc news. and we will be live at a school where students are expecting the results in about an hour. but now, the transport secretary has said decisions on introducing road safety measures, such as 20 mph zones, should remain with local communities rather than the government. before the general election conservative ministers had tried to tighten up the rules around low traffic neighbourhoods to ensure councils have the support of local residents and businesses. henry zeffmanjoins us. what is the new labour government saying about this? there are a courale — government saying about this? there are a courale of— government saying about this? there are a couple of different _ government saying about this? ii—iiff are a couple of different things here, but on both of them this new government setting clearly a different direction of travel to its predecessor conservative government. they raise, as you mention, low traffic neighbourhoods. that is where planters or other things are used to divert traffic from

residential side streets onto main roads to make it easier to walk and cycle in residential areas. and if the other plank to this is 20 mph zones, which do they say on the tin, they enforce zones where the maximum speed limit is 20 mph. both can be quite controversial in areas where they are introduced. but louise haigh, the new transport secretary, told a podcast called streets ahead that local authorities, council leaders and so on, would have her absolute support to introduce those schemes if they want to. that is a big difference from the previous government. rishi sunak had called such low traffic neighbourhoods harebrained. he cut off the millions of pounds of funding that would be given to local authorities to introduce these sort of schemes. louise haigh pours my comments might suggest that this government would provide money to those who want to

apply these games. we don't know yet. that will be a matter for rachel reeves in her budget. what she is saying is if local neighbourhoods want to do this, they will have government support. that is quite a big change. henry zeffman, thank you. the time now to 16 minutes past six. a tree shaped like an elephant, and oak, thatis shaped like an elephant, and oak, that is thought to be the widest in the uk, among those shortlisted for the uk, among those shortlisted for the tree of the year. the annual competition is run by the woodland trust to raise awareness of the uk's ancient and at risk trees. the winner will be revealed in october. and that, apparently, is the one, we think, that is supposed to look like an elephant. it has got a trunk. but i don't know, we are squinting at it. we are struggling with that one. it feels more like a magic eye picture where your script. i couldn't see the elephant at all.

time the weather front get into the south—east, it won't be much more than a band of cloud with the odd shower. brightening up behind it with some sunshine, showers towards the west. these black circles strength —— represent the strength of the wind gust. windy across the north west. temperatures ia to 21. if you are exposed to the wind it will feel quite cold today. through this evening and overnight we start off with a lot of dry weather. the next area of low pressure brings in wet and windy conditions, moving on from the west, pushing towards the north sea. we have got a hook of rain coming back across northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england. gail is through the irish sea, even in land, for northern ireland, wales the midlands into the south, we are looking at strong winds. your accounting, do take note of this. tomorrow, all of

this rain will move quite quickly into the north sea. in doing so, the winds will ease. behind it it brightens up. there will be some sunshine and a few showers in the west. thank you. see you later. the united nations says ukraine is breaking international law in the way to prosecute people accused of collaborating with russia. since the full—scale war there have been roughly 1800 convictions ranging from leaking military secrets to simplyjustifying the invasion simply justifying the invasion online. james simplyjustifying the invasion online. james waterhouse reports from the east of the country. the village of hroza last year. 59 people were killed when a missile hit the funeral venue of a ukrainian soldier. two local men had tipped off the russians. this is what mps were trying to prevent when they quickly made collaboration a crime in 2022, with russia's full scale invasion. lyman, a town bludgeoned by

occupation, liberation and fighting. we were last in lyman in april and there was much more life then. now it's ebbed away after more frequent air strikes, russian advances, and yet many still manage to live here. however, some of them are now being investigated by the ukrainian authorities. when the russians arrived, dymtro, an electrician, volunteered to restore power to the town. translation: the russians said i had to work for them or not at all. - i was afraid they would punish me and my family. but when lyman was liberated six months later, he was arrested. after admitting to helping the russians, dymtro was handed a suspended sentence and banned from working as an electrician. across town, volodymyr is adjusting to life without his wife tetyana, who's in prison. she was a neighbourhood volunteer where she liaised with local officials. under occupation, she continued, and was later sentenced to five years

by a ukrainian court. "if i were weak, i would burst into tears," he tells me. hundreds of kilometres away, this prison has a separate block for convicted collaborators, and we've been given permission to meet volodymyr�*s wife, tetyana. she claims she was giving out firewood. prosecutors argued she'd taken an officialjob, which is illegal. translation: what's my crime? fighting for my people. i did not work for the russians. i survived and found myself in a prison. critics, including the united nations, are concerned. the law's problematic because it is vaguely worded, and in terms of compliance with international humanitarian law, it does criminalise acts that could be lawfully compelled by the occupying authority.

but the message from one of the mps who drew up the collaboration law is blunt. the consequences for such individuals shall| be extremely tough, . because we are talking about life and death. it is the view of legal analysts that this law is too broad. i strongly disagree with such - a statement, that this legislation is in breach of international law, but i agree _ that this legislation - require improvements. for now, this collaboration law is seen as necessary for toughjustice if it means ukraine can be free of russia's grasp. james waterhouse, bbc news, lyman. time to have a look at the papers.

starting with the daily telegraph. they lead with a story about a so—called alzheimer's wonder drug which has been approved for use in the uk. tests have shown it slows cognitive decline by 27%. the times, possible free movement scheme which allows citizens under the age of 30 to work in the eu for three years in return for reciprocal rights for their eu counterparts. there are fresh calls for the chancellor to enter the 2—child benefit cap in the october budget, according to the guardian. the paper says that mps and anti—poverty campaigners are warning that any delay in scrapping the cap will give —— will put hundreds of thousands of children in poverty. and in the matter, calls for taylor swift to be given the freedom of the city of london for boosting the economy. a shellfish reef in devon that was wiped out by bottom trawling fishing could be returning thanks to a

scotland yard say two police officers became unwell while in the police van with the man, after concerns they may have been exposed to chemicals. they too were taken to hospital as a precaution. refuse workers in redbridge have begun two weeks of strike over working conditions. the unite union says its members are regularly asked to work extra hours, and have less favourable conditions, such as sick pay, compared to other council employees. in a statement redbridge council said its goal was to reach an agreement, minimising any impact on bin collections. tests on the river thames regularly exceed safe levels for harmful bacteria. that's according to a group of "citizen scientists" who are now regularly monitoring the rivers water. since mid—may, a7 out of 210 tests by local groups between teddington and oxford, contained harmful bacteria. it can cause a lot of illness, essentially.

as you can see, there are a lot of people out on the water. we've done one test every week for the past seven weeks, and two of them have come back with a poor rating, which essentially means that we — like, the water is unsafe to swim in. in a statement thames water said... "while all storm discharges are unacceptable, the sewage system was historically designed to work in this way, "we know how much people enjoy and appreciate our rivers, and we are committed to seeing our waterways thrive." let's take a look at the tubes now. all going so far except for the piccadilly line which has a part closure. now onto the weather. good morning. it is a cloudy, windy start to the day. outbreaks of rain spreading from west to east, and the winds will be strong, gusting up to a0 mph quite widely in the morning

into the afternoon too, with temperatures reaching 21 celsius, but the wind will ease somewhat into the evening. some clear spells for a time, but by the end of the night, more in the way of cloud, some showery rain and temperatures overnight 15—17. the wind will start to pick up once more. it is a waving weather front with to pick up once more. it is a waving weatherfront with some to pick up once more. it is a waving weather front with some dry weather, but friday night into saturday, further outbreaks of rain that will linger into saturday morning. so the bank holiday weekend starts off quite cloudy and wet, but it is an improving day on saturday with more in the way of drier, brighter weather developing, and for the rest of the weekend, largely dry with some sunshine. that's it from me. i'll be back with you in half an hour. you you in half an hour. can always keep up—to—date w the you can always keep up—to—date with the very latest on the bbc news app. good morning.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and luxmy gopal. just over an hour to go before teenagers across england, wales and northern ireland can start to collect their gcse and btec results. most students receiving results were in year 7 when the first covid lockdowns were announced, so have spent every year of their secondary education in the midst, or the wake, of the pandemic. our education correspondent elaine dunkley has been speaking to students in manchester about how being the "class of covid" has impacted them. # i feel good # i knew that i would now.# a leavers' assembly at wright robinson college in gorton, celebration to mark the end of gcses. but for these pupils, it was a turbulent start to life at secondary school. in year seven, march 2020, a government announcement was made, that schools should be locked down immediately, with special plans to be rushed into place. the first lockdown we had was like probably the scariest because you couldn't

leave your house at all. then there was a lot of talks about like... ..like, the death tolls. it was on tv every single day. so i think it was a scary period. but then i think when we came back after that, it was like, i don't know, it was like, life had changed. we did online lessons, online assemblies, the school did i home visits, and they did, uh, calls to check up on us. - and i feel like i was supported very well during that period of time. - the covid took everything from us, right? but then, when we got granted back everything, i think that really made us grateful. the pandemic didn't just disrupt learning. across the country, attendances got worse. teachers say they're also dealing with higher levels of anxiety amongst children. morning. morning! here, getting pupils ready for gcses starts early. these pupils will be taking their exams next year, and regularly have mock exams. the headteacher says it's important for children to understand that feeling nervous is normal.

we have to recognise the difference between nerves and anxiety. i think young people going into an exam situation will be nervous. they're coming out of their comfort zone. we've got to be careful that we don't label that then as anxiety, and it's something that we have to overcome, those nerves we have to overcome. listen, i'm not being dismissive of the fact that, of course, young people's mental health and wellbeing has been affected by the pandemic, but i think we have enough support mechanisms in place to overcome that. and i'm very positive about society moving forward. as well as the pandemic, there have also been teachers' strikes and a cost of living crisis. this school is in one of the most deprived areas in the country. supporting families in hard times is crucial in ensuring children thrive in the classroom. there's definitely, you know, more challenge placed on schools, um, in terms of like mental health supporting parents, carers, also supporting young people. so we've got a range of products

in here to support our most vulnerable students and families. it includes everything from sanitary products to body wipes. you know, we've got young people that become homeless through no notice evictions. we have, you know, people moving from property to property while they're in that homeless system. children shouldn't have to worry about their basic needs. and, you know, unfortunately, at the moment, quite a lot of young people are worrying about those things. the last five years have brought challenges in education, but for these pupils, school days have still been the best days. in year seven, i'll be honest, like, a new thing, i was really, really scared. like, i honestly didn't imagine myself now to be, like, actually wanting to come to school and being happy and socialising with people. i think it's just such a blessing to have, and like, everyday school life, it's just something to be cherished really. it's the end of secondary school for these pupils in a time that has been unprecedented. some of the biggest lessons they've learned are about life. it's really important to dream

big and just have big ideas and just like, look towards having a really bright future. it doesn't matter if you're like, from like, a less fortunate background. no matter where you're from, if you have like, big dreams, you'll know that it will motivate you to work harder, work towards them, and just achieve the best that you can. it just proves that when you come together and when you have thatl sense of belief and hope i for the future, that you can really get through anything . and you can make something good out of a negative situation. elaine dunkley, bbc news. we will be with some of those youngsters from seven o'clock. the results come in at eight o'clock. good luck if you are waking up at eight o'clock this morning. do you rememberfeeling eight o'clock this morning. do you remember feeling worried? i don't remember, to be honest with you. i don't really remember anything about it. you remember last week! i had mine on a handwritten note, that's how old i am.

bulk of england's responsibility and did it well. chandimal did not expect the ball to do that. she will anchor�*s recovery was led by their captain. desilva would expect himself to but with courage. 72 from the bowler making his debut was a surprise, and for england's captain, a challenge. and deemed the lights save only for slow bowling, so pope encouraged bashir, and they finally found a field. it was 236 all out with three wickets for bashir. that meant england's first innings began in the gloom. ben duckett and dan lawrence survived, even thrived, and on the second day at some point, ollie pope will face the added responsibility of being captain and making runs too, when the clouds allow. joe wilson, bbc news at old trafford. a hint at the sprawling nature of qualifying for the european football

competitions today. welsh side the new saints have been doing it since the beginning ofjuly, while chelsea are entering the fray only now. hearts and kilmarnock make up the list of those playing tonight. while chelsea's list of players is the main talking point at stamford bridge right now. there are a2 on the books after another summer spending spree. but again there's no place for raheem sterling in the squad for their europa conference league playoff against servette. i spoke with raheem before the city game. i said i spoke with raheem before the city game. isaid he i spoke with raheem before the city game. i said he is going to struggle to get minutes with us, and this is the reason why he was out of the squad. i'm not saying that he is not a good player, but i prefer a different kind of winger, and this is the reason why. it's more than £200 million spent now for chelsea. with a5 million of that on portugalforward joao felix.

is 60 years since much of the day was furred brought first broadcast, and we were trying to remember the first time that we watched it, and that was a slight insulting question, because you were bringing up question, because you were bringing uinmmy hill. jimmy hilldid present uinmmy hill. jimmy hill did present it, i'm trying to think what error that would have been. he presented for a long time after it was originally presented by kenneth wolstenholme. we will see later on in breakfast those first shots with a camera that is honestly quite far up in the stand, he is looking up and saying, welcome to match of the day for the very first time. and on that day there was what he described afterwards of the game of the century between arsenal and liverpool. but from then on, for 60 years it has been that staple of football fa ns' years it has been that staple of football fans' saturday night, to the point that still even know people ignore and avoid the results if they have not been at a game to be able to watch it fresh on match of be able to watch it fresh on match of the day, an extraordinary tradition. and that iconic theme tune as well. you can't hear match of the day without hearing that. and if you're a football fan and gets married and walks down the

hours, gusts of wind at caple curig, and it has also been a pretty wet night as well. we have had 66 millimetres of rainfall in achnagart. this weather front crossing us at the moment, taking the reins steadily eastwards. the isobars tell you it is a windy start. the rain will continue to push east across scotland, and south—east across england and wales, and it becomes weaker. it will still be windy, but as soon as the front clears, the wind will ease, but we will still have gusts of wind which will still have gusts of wind which will be quite strong through the day, particularly so across north—west scotland. some of those showers getting into northern ireland, north—west england and north wales. temperatures ranging from 1a to about 21 degrees. through

this evening and overnight, we do have a brief lull when things are quiet, but then the next area of low pressure comes in, bringing more heavy rain but also strong winds. gail is through the irish sea, but strong winds across northern england, wales, into the midlands and southern england, it is something if you are camping to absolutely take note of. tomorrow, this low pressure with all the rain and wind around it moves into the north sea. behind it we see a return to some brighter conditions once again. you can see how it moves away, but we have a hook of rain which will follow one behind it, and that clears, then it is a breezy, blustery day generally with sunshine and some showers packing in to the west. temperatures 13 to about 23. then as we head on over night from friday into saturday, this weather front looks like it is going to pep up front looks like it is going to pep up and bring some rain overnight into parts of wales, southern

england, the midlands and into the south—east, so that is how we start the day on saturday. the position could still be a little further north or south, but this rain will be slower to clear away from the south—east during the course of saturday. the wind will ease, and there will also be showery outbreaks of rain coming in across the north—west of the country, later getting into north—west england, but in between, a lot of dry weather and a fair bit of sunshine around. temperatures 13—20. and as we go through the rest of the weekend and if you have the bank holiday off, first of all on sunday it is going to be bright and breezy, a little rain around, and on monday england and wales dry, but some cloud and through the day the weather front will bring rain across northern ireland and also west scotland. carol, thank you very much. bank holiday weather for some. 6.51, carol, thank you very much. bank holiday weatherfor some. 6.51, the time now.

berry farmers are warning that many of them could soon go out of business because of rising costs, terrible weather and a shortage of workers. ben's on a farm in kent this morning. good morning, ben. earlierwe saw good morning, ben. earlier we saw a very, very vivid looking punnet of berries, bright red looking which i think means a very sweet. did you have a chance to taste them? absolutely have i had a chance to taste them! the pickers are hard at work here on the farm, and this is the result of some of their handiwork. i've been helping as well, taste testing, quality control i think they call it. the reason we are down here is because this farm near the dartford crossing claims to grow about a third of the uk's entire raspberry supply. the berries you see here could very well end up in a supermarket near you.

the thing is, farmers are having a pretty tough time of it, so much so that many berry farmers say that it could put the future supply of the berries we enjoy so much at risk. let me explain. in the last year in the uk, we spent 1.87 billion pounds on berries, that is raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries. but despite the popularity of the fruit, nearly half of farmers say they're not able to make a profit. the main industry body says that means four in 10 berry growers could be out of business by 2026. pa rt part of the problem is the rising costs of farming. it has got more expensive, and costs have risen sharply since 2020 for things like labour, packaging, fertiliser, transport, and if you want to put that in number terms, the cost of

growing a tonne of raspberries now is £2000 more expensive than it was to grow a tonne of raspberries just four years ago. let's get a picture of how the industry is faring. tim is the owner of this particular farm. good to have you with us. so we have seen you have got the plants which look abundant, the pickers are out there. what is the problem? the real problem is the inflationary pressures that we took on board two or three _ pressures that we took on board two or three years ago haven't really filtered — or three years ago haven't really filtered back down in real terms to the price _ filtered back down in real terms to the price at— filtered back down in real terms to the price at the front gate, and that has— the price at the front gate, and that has impacted profitability. our biggest _ that has impacted profitability. our biggest input is labour, and we don't _ biggest input is labour, and we don't have confidence in the industry— don't have confidence in the industry that the government will be able to— industry that the government will be able to provide that labour force in years— able to provide that labour force in years going forward, so a lack of confidence — years going forward, so a lack of confidence to invest, and if we don't _ confidence to invest, and if we don't invest now, we won't have crops— don't invest now, we won't have crops in— don't invest now, we won't have crops in four _ don't invest now, we won't have crops in four or five years. so the government _ crops in four or five years. so the government have _ crops in four or five years. so the government have said _ crops in four or five years. so the government have said in - crops in four or five years. so the | government have said in response crops in four or five years. so the - government have said in response to that concern that there is a

migration review committee that is reporting injuly, and it will look at what recommendations that makes for seasonal workers. could that potentially help some of the berry growers who say they might go out of business? it growers who say they might go out of business? . ., ,., ., , , business? it could potentially help, but we are still— business? it could potentially help, but we are still investing _ business? it could potentially help, but we are still investing already i but we are still investing already for 202520262027. we need to make this decision is now. we need confidence that not only next year but in _ confidence that not only next year but in five — confidence that not only next year but in five years' time we won't have _ but in five years' time we won't have labour, because the cost of investing — have labour, because the cost of investing in structures like you see today, _ investing in structures like you see today, the — investing in structures like you see today, the plants we will be putting on the _ today, the plants we will be putting on the ground, especially tree crops, — on the ground, especially tree crops. you _ on the ground, especially tree crops, you need ten or 15 years to make — crops, you need ten or 15 years to make a — crops, you need ten or 15 years to make a return for that investment, so it is— make a return for that investment, so it is helpful that the government are looking at it, but we are businesses, we need answers fairly quickly _ businesses, we need answers fairly ruickl . .. �* businesses, we need answers fairly ruickl . �* , ., quickly. the thing i can't square in m head quickly. the thing i can't square in my head as _ quickly. the thing i can't square in my head as if— quickly. the thing i can't square in my head as if we _ quickly. the thing i can't square in my head as if we are _ quickly. the thing i can't square in my head as if we are buying - quickly. the thing i can't square in my head as if we are buying so i quickly. the thing i can't square in i my head as if we are buying so much in the way of berries across all the different times, how are farmers not making a profit? it is different times, how are farmers not making a profit?— making a profit? it is simply the

they were taken to hospital as a precaution. refuse workers in redbridge have begun two weeks of strike over working conditions. the unite union says its members are regularly asked to work extra hours, and have less favourable conditions, such as sick pay, compared to other council employees. in a statement redbridge council said its goal was to reach an agreement, minimising any impact on bin collections. tests on the river thames regularly exceed safe levels for harmful bacteria according to a group of so—called citizen scientists. they now regularly monitoring the rivers water and found that since mid—may, a7 out of 210 tests carried out between teddington and oxford, contained harmful bacteria. it can cause a lot of illness, essentially. as you can see, there are a lot of people out on the water. we've done one test every week for the past seven weeks,

and two of them have come back with a poor rating, which essentially means that we — like, the water is unsafe to swim in. in a statement thames water said, "while all storm discharges are unacceptable, the sewage system was historically designed to work in this way, "we know how much people enjoy and appreciate our rivers, and we are committed to seeing our waterways thrive." let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather. good morning. it is a cloudy, windy start to the day. outbreaks of rain spreading from west to east and the winds will be strong, gusting up to a0 mph quite widely in the morning into the afternoon, with temperatures

reaching about 20 to 21 celsius. some clear spells for a time, but by the end of the night, more in the way of cloud, some showery rain and temperatures overnight 15—17. the wind will start to pick up once more. it is a waving weather front with some dry weather, but friday night into saturday, further outbreaks of rain that will linger into saturday morning. so the bank holiday weekend starts off quite cloudy and wet, but it is an improving day on saturday with more in the way of drier, brighter weather developing, and for the rest of the weekend, largely dry with some sunshine. that's it from me. but why not check out the bbc news app, where you can read about how the fat suit sir ian mckellan was wearing when he fell off the stage back injune, helped save him from even more injuries. i'll be back with you in half an hour.

thank you. the time there is five minutes past seven. looks me, you have more from sicily in the searches and investigations. that's right. we start with the news of the tragedy. the search will resume this morning for the one person still missing after a luxury yacht sank off the coast of sicily. five bodies have already been recovered from in the wreckage. our correspondent bethany bell is in porticello. good morning. a really agonising time forfriends and good morning. a really agonising time for friends and family. what is the latest? aha, time for friends and family. what is the latest? �* , the latest? a terrible time indeed for those people _ the latest? a terrible time indeed for those people affected - the latest? a terrible time indeed for those people affected by i the latest? a terrible time indeed for those people affected by this. for those people affected by this tragedy. what we understand is that four bodies have been brought to shore yesterday. divers are expected to bring the fifth body up today. they identified it last night. they will be bringing it here. and then, as with the other bodies, it is put into an ambulance, taken to a

mortuary, and then the process of identification and postmortems goes ahead. then of course they are focusing very much on locating the final missing person. they say the divers will continue their work very difficult work, accompanied by boats, by helicopters. we have seen an enormous turnout by the emergency services. we also know that investigations are under way into how this accident happened. investigators have interviewed the ship captain. they questioned him for two hours yesterday, we understand. many questions being asked, how it was that this superyacht went down in this extreme weather? could anything have been done to mitigate that? bethany bell, thank you. students across england, wales and northern ireland will find out their gcse and btec results this morning. for this year group most of their secondary school life has been impacted by covid, and grading

is expected to be restored to pre—pandemic levels. our education reporter kate mcgough has more. from starting in year seven, to now sitting their gcses... nice and quietly, thank you. ..this is the class of covid. these pupils were just a few months into starting secondary school when the first national lockdown was introduced. obviously, our whole secondary school career kind of thing has been affected by covid. i think i felt a little bit lost, to be honest. none of us were really expecting i that it would last for so long. i here at brighouse high school in west yorkshire, teachers and staff have worked hard to overcome the disruption caused by covid, but some problems still persist. more than one in five children in england are frequently missing school. that's double what it was before the pandemic. certainly for a few years that attendance has been particularly down. i know there's been a lot of talk

about how working from home has an impact on that with parents. you know, we certainly reflect that national pattern of sometimes friday's attendance can be a little bit down on the rest of the week, but i'm pleased to say it's getting back to pre—covid levels now. mr yasin is head of year 11 and says the pandemic has led to an increase in anxiety for those taking gcses. when i see them now, i think to myself, they've only really had three years of high school, just over three years of high school, and it's been a very emotionaljourney. students who were a little bit nervous and anxious anyway when they started high school, that was heightened considerably, i think, when the lockdowns kicked in. and we have had many requests, which we've tried our best to fulfil, of accommodating students elsewhere so they can do their exams with a few more rest breaks,, mainly in a smaller setting. gcse results are almost back to where they were pre—pandemic, after teacher—assessed grades led to record numbers of top marks. this will be the last year of gcses where there are concessions. in england, pupils have been given formula sheets in maths and science. the formula sheet has helped me

so much in maths and physics, and i think they should keep it because i think it's quite unfair the amount they've got to remember, especially on top of all the other content, especially in physics. the pandemic has been daunting, but these pupils have also found positives. i think it was a rocky start for us for sure, but um, coming into year ten and 11, i think it's actually brought _ the year group quite together and we're quite close now. i we have good relationships - with our teachers too, which i think helps us with our learning, and i has done for the past five years. kate mcgough, bbc news. let's go to our correspondent danny savage at a school in gorton in manchester. good morning. a long wait for many but it is nearly over? yeah, morning, luxmy. here are the envelopes of destiny. they will be given out to pupils in less than an hour. they will find out the results

residential streets. then there is perhaps the slightly blunt instrument of 20 mph zones, which in some parts of the country, especially in wales, have been used a lot recently. the conservatives were increasingly, when they were in government, opposed to both of those things. rishi sunak called ltms harebrained and cut off all government funding to local authorities wanted to introduce them. louise haigh, the new transport secretary, has been speaking to a podcast go straight ahead, and she said this government will give their absolute support to local areas that want to introduce the scheme. she suggested when the budget rolls around in late october it's possible that there might be government funding for them. that will be a question for rachel reeves, the chancellor. she is not saying that central government in westminster will force part of the country to introduce them, but she is saying that it should be up to

the local areas and if they want to do that, politicians in this government will not tell them to stop. and that, in itself, does mark a big shift from the previous government. henry zeffman, thank you. 17 minutes past seven. one other story. a gentoo penguin, one half of a power sex couple, has died in australia aged 11. he and his partner magic shot to global stardom in 2018 when they fell in love at the sea life aquarium in sydney. they later adopted and raised two chicks. their romance has inspired a mardi gras float, they have been referenced in the australian education syllabus. the aquarium said sven had a credible impact around the world as a symbol of equality. quite sad that his partner magic is widowed after just six years. let's have a look at

exposure. a windy night inland across ireland, wales, the midlands and into southern england. temperatures falling away to about nine to 16 degrees. tomorrow the rain clears. but you can see the second hoop moving out of northern ireland across southern scotland and northern indian. that eventually clears. it is a drier day but still some blustery showers are coming in from the west. it will be quite breezy. temperatures 13 to 23 degrees. into saturday we have got a weather front coming up from the south which could clear parts of wales and southern england before pushing back towards the south—eastern corner on saturday, and clearing. it will be windy. as it moves away it dries up, it brightens up, but then we have shauri outbreaks of rain coming back in a the north—west of the country. temperatures 13 to about 20 degrees. as we move on into sunday, something a little bit drier, still a few showers. on monday if you have the

scotland yard say two police officers became unwell while in the police van with the man after concerns they may have been exposed to chemicals. they were taken to hospital as a precaution. refuse workers in redbridge have begun two weeks of strike action over working conditions. the unite union says its members have less favourable conditions, such as sick pay, compared to other council employees. in a statement redbridge council said its goal was to reach an agreement — minimising any impact on bin collections. tests on the river thames regularly exceed safe levels for harmful bacteria according to a group of so—called citizen scientists. they now regularly monitor the rivers water and found that since mid—may, a7 out of 210 tests carried out contained harmful bacteria. it can cause a lot of illness, essentially. as you can see, there are a lot of people out on the water. we've done one test every week

for the past seven weeks, and two of them have come back with a poor rating, which essentially means that we — like, the water is unsafe to swim in. in a statement thames water said... "while all storm discharges are unacceptable, the sewage system was historically designed to work in this way to prevent sewage backing up into people's homes." we are committed to seeing our waterways thrive." let's take a look at how the tubes is running this morning. there's severe delays on the bakerloo line and the dlr and the piccidilly line is partly closed. good morning. it is a cloudy, windy start to the day. outbreaks of rain spreading from west to east and the winds will be strong, gusting up to a0 mph quite widely in the morning into the afternoon, with temperatures reaching about 20 to 21 celsius.

some clear spells for a time, but by the end of the night, more in the way of cloud, some showery rain and temperatures overnight 15—17. the wind will start to pick up once more. it is a waving weather front with some dry weather, but friday night into saturday, further outbreaks of rain that will linger into saturday morning. so the bank holiday weekend starts off quite cloudy and wet, but it is an improving day on saturday with more in the way of drier, brighter weather developing, and for the rest of the weekend, largely dry with some sunshine. that's it from me. but why not check out the bbc news app where you can read about how the fat suit sir ian mckellan was wearing when he fell off the stage back injune helped save him from even more injuries. i'll be back with you in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast

with luxmy gopal and charlie stayt. good morning. teenagers across england, wales and northern ireland will be able to get their gcse results in the next half an hour, with grading expected to be in line with pre—pandemic levels. we're joined by the minister for school standards, catherine mckinnell. good morning to you. thank you for your time this morning. 28 minutes and counting for those young people getting those results. it is a nervous time. it getting those results. it is a nervous time.— getting those results. it is a nervous time. , ., , nervous time. it is. ifeel nervous for them nervous time. it is. ifeel nervous forthem but _ nervous time. it is. i feel nervous for them but also _ nervous time. it is. i feel nervous for them but also very _ nervous time. it is. i feel nervous for them but also very excited, i for them but also very excited, because this is a cohort of young people that have overcome incredible challenges. we need to remember these are young people who were in year seven when we went into the pandemic, so their entire secondary education has been shaped by that experience, and i have overcome incredible obstacles, they and their teachers and their schools have worked incredibly hard, and we are

really positive about and hopeful for the results today and what it brings next for these young people who have a whole range of options to go onto after today. you who have a whole range of options to go onto after today.— go onto after today. you presumably are across the _ go onto after today. you presumably are across the big _ go onto after today. you presumably are across the big picture _ go onto after today. you presumably are across the big picture in - go onto after today. you presumably are across the big picture in terms i are across the big picture in terms of what the results are showing. what is the pattern you can see? we don't what is the pattern you can see? i don't have the results public yet, so it is important not to pre—empt that for young people, but we are hopeful and expecting that they will be in line with last year's results, which is positive in that we seem to have righted the system after the disruption we have seen over the pandemic and some of the changes in the way exams were done on the way these young people were assessed, so we do see thatjourney coming through of that really challenging situation that we've had over a whole range of years, and that these young people can hopefully celebrate today and that is what i really want for them today, a day of celebration and looking forward to what comes next. !

and looking forward to what comes next. , ., ., next. i understand there are concerns _ next. i understand there are concerns within _ next. i understand there are concerns within your - next. i understand there are - concerns within your department about the gap in attainment between, and i know it is not necessarily quite so polarised, but there is a pattern of underachievement in the north has compared with the south. is that something you are seeing in something you are concerned about? i something you are concerned about? i am incredibly concerned about it, and it's notjust because i'm from the north—east and i do believe that every part of the country should have all the opportunities available to them, but we see that it is a really persistent problem, this attainment across different regions. if we look at the results from last week and the number of young people going on to university, a2% from london, 2a% in the north—east. that is a huge gap, and one that is a government we are committed to closing, because yes these are choices that young people make, but we want to make sure that they are choices and not a lack of opportunity or a lack of something in the system that could be holding these young people back. we want to

unleash opportunity, that is the primary focus for us as a government. in primary focus for us as a government.— primary focus for us as a government. primary focus for us as a rovernment. . , , , government. in a practical sense, how will you _ government. in a practical sense, how will you do _ government. in a practical sense, how will you do that? _ government. in a practical sense, how will you do that? we - government. in a practical sense, how will you do that? we will- government. in a practical sense, | how will you do that? we will reset the relationship _ how will you do that? we will reset the relationship between _ how will you do that? we will reset the relationship between the - the relationship between the government and our education sector. we know how crucial the entire sector is, whether it is schools, colleges, universities, teaching assistants, early years workers, everybody needs to know that they are valued and a priority for this government so that we can work together to deliver that opportunity for young people, and in a practical senseit for young people, and in a practical sense it means making sure we have more teachers in schools, making sure we support breakfast club so that children start the school with a full belly, hungry minds and that good start to the day. we want to see more mental health support in schools, early speech and language intervention. i could talk all day about how passionate we are in the changes that we are looking to make in the education system. obviously we only had a few weeks, but we are getting on with the job. i

appreciate your administration is new. when would you imagine that we will see improvements in those areas you've highlighted in the things you are worried about. when can people expect that they will be a tangible change? i expect that they will be a tangible chan . e? s expect that they will be a tangible chan . e? ~ . ., expect that they will be a tangible chance? ~ .. ., . ., change? i think we can feel a change in the system _ change? i think we can feel a change in the system already _ change? i think we can feel a change in the system already in _ change? i think we can feel a change in the system already in the - change? i think we can feel a change in the system already in the sense i in the system already in the sense of the productive relationships that we are building, where before there was antagonism when the government, we have a constructive relationship, and i think that's what this government is about, taking a really grown—up approach to how we run the country and a transparent approach as well, not looking for headlines or playing games, we reallyjust want to work with public services to rebuild a better country, and through that i think we do that through that i think we do that through a better education system, and we really rely on all our partners to deliver that with us. but we want to see the loss of teachers in our system be turned around without delay. we've already taken steps

around without delay. we've already ta ken steps to around without delay. we've already taken steps to do that, but we need to put the money in place to ensure that we can invest in that, so that is why we are making changes soon on the vat status of private schools to make sure we can invest in our state system, and that will also enable us to make those changes that i've identified about mental health support and breakfast clubs and early speech and language intervention. these are things that we really see as upfront investment in our young people that will ultimately help our economy to grow and also save money in the long term as well. . ., and also save money in the long term as well. ~ ., ,, and also save money in the long term as well. . ., i. ., and also save money in the long term aswell. . ., ., as well. would you care to share our as well. would you care to share your results _ as well. would you care to share your results or _ as well. would you care to share your results or not? _ as well. would you care to share your results or not? it _ as well. would you care to share your results or not? it is - as well. would you care to share your results or not? it is up - as well. would you care to share your results or not? it is up to i your results or not? it is up to you? it your results or not? it is up to ou? , s your results or not? it is up to ou? , ~ ., , ., , you? it is kind that you put it in that way- _ you? it is kind that you put it in that way- i _ you? it is kind that you put it in that way. i remember - you? it is kind that you put it in that way. i remember my - you? it is kind that you put it in that way. i remember my gcse | you? it is kind that you put it in - that way. i remember my gcse results day very clearly. they were very positive for me. i got as and ps and went on to do my a—levels, but for our young people, wherever our young people are, whether it is college at school, our young people should take

advice i listen to people who want to support them to get on in life, and whatever the outcome today, there is a bright future ahead. thank you very much, minister for school standards. we will be live at a school this morning just sharing some of those stories, on what is a very important day. we will update you on the sports news now, and we start with the cricket. yes, england just about to go into the second day of their first test against sri lanka, and i'm sure carroll will show us shortly that there is a very large blob of rain heading. is that a meteorological term? yes, blob! england need to move on when they need to get on. their bowlers can put their feet up after making ollie pope was my first day in charge pretty easy, while it will be

over to the batter is to try and press home that advantage at old trafford. bowling out sri lanka for 236 on the first day of the first test. after significant resistance, it was the spinner who helped get them all out. england on 22 without loss going into the second day which could well be affected by the weather, chris woakes says the team will pull together in the absence of ben stokes. you will pull together in the absence of lten stokes-— will pull together in the absence of ben stokes. you know, a so-called inexoerienced _ ben stokes. you know, a so-called inexperienced captain _ ben stokes. you know, a so-called inexperienced captain comes - ben stokes. you know, a so-called inexperienced captain comes into l ben stokes. you know, a so-called l inexperienced captain comes into the side, the younger guy, naturally you have got guys probably willing to give a little bit more advice than normal, so probably a few more ideas being thrown around. as a bowling attack we took it upon ourselves to definitely talk a lot more. you always have to. we wanted to take the pressure off ollie a little bit, but he spoke with us well, talked about different options and i thought he did a really good job.

winning the 800 metres gold medal at the paris olympics might have been the best moment of keely hodgkinson's career, but she ends 202a unbeaten in nine races but without the chance to compete at the diamond league next month. it was herfirst global title. a hint at the sprawling nature of qualifying for the european football competitions today. welsh side the new saints have been doing it since the beginning ofjuly, while chelsea are entering the fray only now. hearts and kilmarnock make up the list of those playing tonight. while chelsea's list of players is the main talking point at stamford bridge right now. there are a2 on the books after another summer spending spree. but again there's no place for raheem sterling in the squad for their europa conference league playoff against servette. i spoke with raheem before the city game. i said he is going to struggle to get minutes with us, and this is the reason why he was out of the squad. i'm not saying that he is not a good player, but i prefer

a different kind of winger, and this is the reason why. it's more than £200 million spent now for chelsea. with a5 million of that on portugalforward joao felix. he's signed from atletico madrid with england midfielder conor gallagher going the other way for about 33 million. the women's open gets under way this morning — the first players tee off at around seven o'clock at st andrews. it's the final major of the year. former champion catriona matthew has announced this year's tournament will be her last. the scot is now 5a and won the title in 2009. with her major career ending with a 30th consecutive appearance at the open. pavel bittner of czech republic won stage five of the vuelta a espana — a sprint into seville. he pipped wout van aert in a photo finish. primoz roglic continues to lead overall by eight seconds. today's stage six is a 185 kilometre mountainous route.

it has been particularly over the first week of the premier league season memorable for two of the bbc�*s very important institutions of football coverage. football focus is 50, and match of the day is celebrating its 60th birthday. generations of football fans have been avoiding scores on saturday afternoon so they can watch it fresh. and sometimes they want to judge their own team was my performances having watched it at the ground, and cruciallyjudge the judgment of their teams, because match of the day still remains that incredibly pivotal moment where they find out what other people thought of their team's performance. it can shape a relationship between fans and pundits. and it is impressive to continue to have that role after this many decades. and all of that time, think about the thousands of football matches that have been covered in the unique

way that it is. highlights and analysis of some of the most memorable moments in the sport's history. joe lenski has been taking a look back at the iconic show�*s six decades. 60 years ago, this is the place where it started — anfield in august 196a, where liverpool faced arsenal on the first day of the season. a ticket cost up to eight shillings, ora0p. that night on bbc two, football went out to the nation. welcome to match of the day, the first of a weekly series coming to you every saturday on bbc two. as you can hear, we're in beatleville for this liverpool versus arsenal match, and if we can have a look at the liverpool side. liverpool started with five players up front. match of the day's numbers weren't quite like today.

the first viewing figures were around 20,000, farfewer than were in the crowd there that day. but those that tuned in saw quite the match. it's a goal. 3—2 to liverpool. match of the day was up and running. well, i'd call it the match of the century. i don't know about the match of the day. what do you think? that show was one match with a former player at pitchside. through the years, the programme grew in size and found its soundtrack. hello. good evening. we hope you like the new music and we hope to you like the new programme. good evening and welcome to match of the day on the last saturday of the football league season. yes! football was the main act, but presenters and commentators were part of the story. and this is extraordinary. we're going to see the penalty spot painted, are we? during the match. model might try to curl one and does and makes it.

oh, beauty. each week we'll have two main matches from the new premier league. in 1999 des lynam left tojoin itv. so a man who'd been a pundit took on the lead role. hey, tell you what. football's back. any good? have i got thejob? sorry. still here. here we go again. new season, new titles, new manager. gary lineker has now been presenting for 25 years, while those who grew up with the programme have become part of its charm. it was certainly down to the bare bones today with with injuries. i thought from start to finish they were awful. it's wright for arsenal- and it's a goal for arsenal. we didn't think you'd got enough england ones. so... not bad. you're getting the hang of it obviously. yeah it's kind of comes from a bit nowadays. through 60 years, times have changed. stand by vt. but saturday nights still sound the same. joe lynskey, bbc news.

and a 60th anniversary documentary, match of the day at 60, will be available on bbc iplayer later today, broadcast on bbc one on bank holiday monday at 10:30pm. now, we mention the weather in the sport round—up, but let's go to carol for a proper forecast. sport round—up, but let's go to carol for a properforecast. we have to look out for a blob of rain? that is very technical, luxmy! there is more than a bit of rain around this morning. it has been a wet and windy night. the rain will slowly clear away, and things were quiet down behind it, but what you find is it will still be windy especially across north—west scotland. this is what has been happening for the night. the rain has been pushing eastwards and it is also pushing south eastwards. this is a weather front, and ahead of the weather front, and ahead of the weather front it still is pretty windy, plus this weather front moves down the south—east. it is going to weaken and it won't be much more than a band of cloud with the odd spot of

rain in it, and behind it brightening up. these are the gusts you can see in black, so still very windy across the north west. at times, potentially blustery. temperature 20—20— 21. it won't be long before the next batch of rain pushes in, the wind will strengthen, gales through the irish sea but it will also be very windy across much of england and wales, something to consider if you are camping, and look at this hook of rain coming backin look at this hook of rain coming back in through northern ireland, and that will push across scotland and that will push across scotland and northern england as we head through the early part of the day. temperatures up to 16. this hook of rain moves east, the whole lot moves out into the north sea, slow to clear on the far south—east but it will be windy, and behind it it brightens up, but still a plethora

of showers coming in on a brisk breeze across the north west. these are our temperatures, up to 23. carol, thank you very much. a new bbc documentary series will give us unprecedented insight into the lives of some of africa's magnificent felines. over six months, a camera team followed a group of big cats, day and night in an area rarely visited in botswana. new technology means the team can follow the cats' movement more closely than ever before, including some close encounters with the crew themselves. she's ready to go. my heart rate was

does prove is that there are still parts of the world where nature's balance is more or less intact, and the vallieres one of those, and i think the lions and tigers and cheaters and there in the numbers that they should be. filming the lions catching fish, which they have never been filmed doing before, i think every single day is completely different. and the exciting thing about it is that you go out in the knowledge that you may well see something that no one has ever seen before. ., ., ., ~ before. the world that i work in, if i brini in before. the world that i work in, if i bring in a — before. the world that i work in, if i bring in a hot _ before. the world that i work in, if i bring in a hot cup _ before. the world that i work in, if i bring in a hot cup of _ before. the world that i work in, if i bring in a hot cup of tea, - before. the world that i work in, if i bring in a hot cup of tea, health i i bring in a hot cup of tea, health and safety, is that ok, you check everything. how does that work in the world you are working in? there is a scene where he will have been filming all day only want to sleep out to get more footage, so you are

literally sleeping out, i do know there are lions literally sleeping out, i do know there are [ions in the vicinity, new cook up spaghetti bolognese and you are a bit worried that they might be drawn to you. that sounds incredibly risky. why don't you go back to base and be more secure? i risky. why don't you go back to base and be more secure?— and be more secure? i think being able to spend _ and be more secure? i think being able to spend a — and be more secure? i think being able to spend a night _ and be more secure? i think being able to spend a night out - and be more secure? i think being able to spend a night out in i and be more secure? i think being able to spend a night out in the i able to spend a night out in the bush _ able to spend a night out in the bush is — able to spend a night out in the bush is key to being in that environment, because you are then able, _ environment, because you are then able. you _ environment, because you are then able, you can be sleeping on top of your vehicle — able, you can be sleeping on top of your vehicle in the middle of the night _ your vehicle in the middle of the night and — your vehicle in the middle of the night and you will hear a lion calling, — night and you will hear a lion calling, and then in the morning that dictates where you will be going — that dictates where you will be going that day, so being around them the whole _ going that day, so being around them the whole time is really helpful because — the whole time is really helpful because you want to be with them, but also _ because you want to be with them, but also it— because you want to be with them, but also it allows you to see things you wouldn't have seen. but but also it allows you to see things you wouldn't have seen.— but also it allows you to see things you wouldn't have seen. but do you have a health _ you wouldn't have seen. but do you have a health and _ you wouldn't have seen. but do you have a health and safety _ you wouldn't have seen. but do you have a health and safety person? i you wouldn't have seen. but do you | have a health and safety person? of course, and have a health and safety person? i>i course, and i suppose have a health and safety person? iii course, and i suppose it is not even potential, it is the perceived risk, and i had one of the biggest lions close as close as you are to me.

there is nothing between us but air, no door on the vehicle, and it stops and looks at me. and for most normal people come you think, how can you stay safe that close to one of the world's top predators. it'sjust that they do not associate people and vehicles with food. they have grown up in a world where they have been filmed, most of them, from birth, so a vehicle and the people in it, it is like a mobile termite mound or a tree, it is inconsequential to them, so that is how you can stay safe. i want more of this! it how you can stay safe. i want more of this! it is scary when they _ i want more of this! it is scary when they stand _ i want more of this! it is scary when they stand that - i want more of this! it is scary when they stand that close. i i want more of this! it is scary| when they stand that close. so i want more of this! it is scary i when they stand that close. so we saw that clip _ when they stand that close. so we saw that clip of _ when they stand that close. so we saw that clip of you _ when they stand that close. so we saw that clip of you and _ when they stand that close. so we saw that clip of you and your- when they stand that close. so we saw that clip of you and your land | saw that clip of you and your land rover, what is it like looking eye to eye with an animal like that? presumably it knows all about you? the blood just drains from your face a little _ the blood just drains from your face a little bit. — the blood just drains from your face a little bit, and you do feel like your— a little bit, and you do feel like your spider senses start tingling. but they— your spider senses start tingling. but they are so beautiful and incredible, i feel like seeing them

big cats 2a/7, we are immersed in their lives and we filmed in 2a/7 and we learned so much. in the time we were there we knew more about the lines and the leopards that we do about our own families. we are just completely wrapped up in their world. we don't have to make people fall in love with big cats, they already do, and i think this series is going to blow people's mind, it is going to blow people's mind, it is incredible. it blew my mind. lovely to see you both here today, thank you very much. big cats 2a/7 starts this sunday at eight o'clock on bbc two. the first episode sees a huge wildfire threatening the resident big cats and the team. are they ok? no spoilers! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning, welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill.

a man arrested on suspicion of assaulting a number of police officers in south—east london remains in hospital in a serious condition, after claiming he ingested drugs. officers were called to penge high street around at 6.30 yesterday, following reports of a group of shoplifters. one man was arrested. scotland yard say two police officers became unwell while in the police van with the man after concerns they may have been exposed to chemicals. they were taken to hospital as a precaution. refuse workers in redbridge have begun two weeks of strike action over working conditions. the unite union says its members have less favourable conditions, such as sick pay, compared to other council employees. redbridge council said its goal was to reach an agreement, minimising any impact on bin collections. let's take a look at how the tubes is running this morning. there's severe delays on the bakerloo line and the dlr, and the piccadilly line is partly closed.

now the weather and it will be largely cloudy with patchy light rain moving in from the west through the afternoon. it will be a breezy day with a top temperature of 21 degrees that's it from me. but why not check out the bbc news app, where you can read about how a fat suit sir ian mckellan was wearing when he fell off the stage back injune, helped save him from even more injuries. i'll be back with you in half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast, with charlie stayt and luxmy gopal. the headlines today. hundreds of thousands of teenagers across england, wales and northern ireland are receiving their gcse and btec results. yes, we are at one school in east manchester where they are just getting their results. they have had the countdown to the results. we will be talking to some of them in the next hour. tributes are paid to a woman and three children who died at a fire in a house in bradford. the search resumes for the final missing person in the wreckage of the yacht which sank off the coast of sicily after five bodies were discovered yesterday. good morning. we spend almost £2 billion on berries in the uk. many farmers don't make a profit and could go out of business within the

next two years. i have come to a farm in kent to find out why. look at his face, just look at his face! one of the most famous voices in football as much of the day turns 60 we will be speaking to legendary commentator, barry davies. —— match of the day. the weather remains changeable. it will be wet and unseasonably windy at times but there will be some sunshine and from there will be some sunshine and from the middle of next week it will turn warmer once again. good morning. it's thursday, august 22nd. our main story. tributes are being paid to other and three children who died following a house fire in bradford. stu d e nts students across england, wales and northern ireland that finding out their gcse and btec results this morning. kate mcgough has more.

from starting in year seven, to now sitting their gcses... nice and quietly, thank you. ..this is the class of covid. these pupils were just a few months into starting secondary school when the first national lockdown was introduced. obviously, our whole secondary school career kind of thing has been affected by covid. i think i felt a little bit lost, to be honest. none of us were really expecting l that it would last for so long. l here at brighouse high school in west yorkshire, teachers and staff have worked hard to overcome the disruption caused by covid, but some problems still persist. more than one in five children in england are frequently missing school. that's double what it was before the pandemic. certainly for a few years that attendance has been particularly down. i know there's been a lot of talk about how working from home has an impact on that with parents. you know, we certainly reflect that national pattern of sometimes friday's attendance can be a little bit down on the rest of the week, but i'm pleased to say it's getting back to pre—covid levels now.

mr yasin is head of year 11 and says the pandemic has led to an increase in anxiety for those taking gcses. when i see them now, i think to myself, they've only really had three years of high school, just over three years of high school, and it's been a very emotionaljourney. students who were a little bit nervous and anxious anyway when they started high school, that was heightened considerably, i think, when the lockdowns kicked in. and we have had many requests, which we've tried our best to fulfil, of accommodating students elsewhere so they can do their exams with a few more rest breaks,, mainly in a smaller setting. gcse results are almost back to where they were pre—pandemic, after teacher—assessed grades led to record numbers of top marks. this will be the last year of gcses where there are concessions. in england, pupils have been given formula sheets in maths and science. the formula sheet has helped me so much in maths and physics, and i think they should keep it because i think it's quite unfair the amount they've got to remember, especially on top of all the other content,

especially in physics. the pandemic has been daunting, but these pupils have also found positives. i think it was a rocky start for us for sure, but um, coming into year ten and ii, i think it's actually brought _ the year group quite together and we're quite close now. i we have good relationships - with our teachers too, which i think helps us with our learning, and i has done for the past five years. kate mcgough, bbc news. inafew in a few minutes we will be at a school meeting some of those young people getting the results. luxmy has more of the news. we start with the tributes that are being paid to a mother and three children who died following a house fire in bradford. a man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder and is in hospital with critical injuries. graham satchell reports. westbury road in bradford and a terrible tragedy. a house fire that killed a mother and her three children. 29—year—old bryonie gawith died at the scene. nine—year—old denisty, five—year—old oscar and 22—month—old

aubree died later in hospital. at a press conference, west yorkshire police announced they have started a murder inquiry. we believe the fire was started deliberately, and this incident was domestic related. detectives from our homicide and major inquiry team have launched a murder investigation into the fire. neighbours who saw the fire have been left devastated. it's horrible, ijust feel sick. you know, ijust wanted to help, but, what can you do? i've never seen anything like it. it were really intense. - the sky were [it up. it were just like - thunder and lightning. it were just blue, literally blue, and it were just pumping out. l family and friends have been leaving flowers and messages as they try to come to terms with the loss of such young life. one message reads, "bryonie and your three angels, gone way too soon."

a 39—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. he remains in hospital with critical injuries. graham satchell, bbc news. our reporter oli constable joins us now from bradford. good morning. we saw earlier this morning flowers are still in place and the police cordon remains? that's right. we saw flowers being placed on the edge of the cordon last night. overnight many more items have been placed here, including flowers, tributes, and cuddly toys. tributes are being paid to a family who their loved ones say were taken far, far too soon. every person has been deeply affected by what has happened, and what is normally a quiet street on the edge of bradford. this morning, more than 2a hours after the incident, police are guarding the house, which remains a crime scene. that family,

bryonie and her children, denisty, oscar and aubree, killed in that home in the early hours of yesterday morning. neighbours said they felt sick and devastated. this is a whole community trying to come to terms with what happened. police have said they believe the fire was started deliberately, with the incident being domestic related. that 39—year—old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder remains in hospital in a condition following injuries he sustained in the fire himself. people living here are being asked to help police with their investigation. if you saw what happened, or have any information, speak to officers. the investigation continues at pace this morning as they try to piece together exactly what happened. thank you for bringing us the latest from the scene. let's turn to events in the us. tim walz has been officially nominated as kamala harris's running mate in the upcoming presidential election.

the governor of minnesota made a speech on the third day of the democrat's national convention. the event was opened by big names including stevie wonder, oprah winfrey and former us president bill clinton. our senior north america correspondent, gary o'donoghue, was there democrats have been ramping up the celebrity count. kamala harris! echoing michelle obama, oprah told the packed hall to do something. and what we're going to do is elect kamala harris as the next president of the united states! but the current president, joe biden, isn't quite forgotten. even by those senior democrats like nancy pelosi, who eased him out of the nomination. thank you, joe. they have already had two presidents this week, here is a third one. and they love him.

two days ago i turned 78, the oldest man in my family for four generations. and the only personal vanity i want to assert is i am still younger than donald trump. every convention needs its share of glitz and glamour, and this one has got plenty of it. but today is also about introducing governor tim walz. you probably won't have heard of him. two weeks ago he became kamala harris' pick for vice president. high school teacher, sports coach, 20 years in the national guard, tim walz is being sold as the ultimate everyman. no matter who you are, kamala harris is going to stand up and fight for your freedom to live the life that you want to lead. because that's what we want for ourselves, and it's what we want for our neighbours.

all the razzmatazz is designed for one thing. the build—up to kamala harris' acceptance speech tonight, the biggest moment of her political career so far. gary o'donoghue, bbc news, chicago. the search will resume this morning for the one person still missing after a luxury yacht sank off the coast of italy. five bodies have already been recovered. bethany bell gave us the latest from porticello. we watched four bodies being brought to shore by the rescue services. a fifth body has been identified on the yacht and rescue workers are expected to bring that up this morning. then the search of course goes on for the final missing person. rescue services say they have been working tirelessly in

very, very difficult, cramped conditions, to try to recover, find the people, the missing, and also, that they have been facing very, very difficult conditions down there because there is a lot of debris in the yard. we know as well that investigators have questioned the captain. he was questioned for two hours because there have been a lot of questions asked about how this superyacht was so badly affected by this extreme weather event. there was a mini tornado, a water spout, and of the questions are being asked, could moore have been done to make sure that the —— this did not happen the way it did? bethany bell. the uk medicines regulator is set to approve a drug that has been shown to slow the progression of alzheimer's disease. it is an anti—body treatment. the nhra is expected to rule it can be

prescribed privately in the uk. regulators are yet to decide if it can be used on the nhs. media personality, andrew tate, says he's been remanded in custody by police in romania. he was questioned by officers as part of new investigation into crimes including money laundering and sex with an under—age person. he's already awaiting trial on rape and human trafficking charges, which he denies. taylor swift has made her first public statement about the cancellation of her three sell—out shows in vienna earlier this month — due to security concerns. the singer wrote on instagram that an alleged terror plot had filled her with a new sense of fear. she said she was grateful to the austrian authorities that their actions meant we were grieving for concerts and not lives. the transport secretary has said decisions on introducing road safety measures, such as 20 miles per hour zones, should

remain with local communities rather than the government. before the general election, conservative ministers had tried to tighten up the rules around low traffic neighbourhoods, to ensure councils had the support of local residents and businesses. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. good morning. what is the new labour government saying? what is the new labour government sa ini ? ~ ., ., what is the new labour government sa inc? ., ., what is the new labour government sa in? ., , saying? morning. there are a couple of different measures _ saying? morning. there are a couple of different measures here, - saying? morning. there are a couple of different measures here, both i saying? morning. there are a couple of different measures here, both ofl of different measures here, both of which, this new government is signalling a very different direction of travel from the previous conservative government. you have lt ends, low traffic neighbourhoods, where a local area might use different messages like planters and so on to divert traffic away from residential streets towards main roads in the hope of encouraging cycling and walking and so on. then there are 20 mph zones, a blunt instrument which do what they say on the tin. when it comes to both of them, what louise haigh, the transport secretary, as told a podcast called streets ahead is that local authorities would have her

absolute support to introduce those schemes if they want to. that is different from the previous comment. rishi sunak had called ltms harebrained and his transport secretary removed central government funding for local areas that wanted to go ahead with the sort of thing. what we are not talking about is the government in westminster saying they are going to enforce parts of they are going to enforce parts of the country to introduce them. that is not the case at all. louise haigh warns of areas where they proceed with the wrong schemes despite local opposition. but it is clearly the case are part of the country that want to do these are going to have full throated government support, perhaps even further down the track central government funding. and that is a big difference from what came before. henry zeffman, thank you. just coming up to 8:15am, thursday morning. a tree shaped like an elephant, and an oak that is thought to be the widest in the uk, among

those shortlisted for the tree of the year. this is apparently the elephant oak, which is in the new forest. do you think it looks like an elephant? it is apparently so called because of its big trunk. meanwhile, the 1200 —year—old oak in cheshire, which boasts a 1a.02 metre girth is also on the 12 trees shortlist, the annual competition is run by the woodland trust to raise awareness of the ancient and at risk trees in the uk. the winner will be revealed in october. the second one looked like a rhinoceros. there you go, competition for the 11 tree. let's find out what carol has to say. i'm still laughing at your earlier joke about the trunk, now! good morning. it has been a very wet night for some of us. in the lake district, close to six inches of

rain. four millimetres of that fell in just six hours. rain. four millimetres of that fell injust six hours. the rain continues to push south and east. it will clear. the wind will ease. for all of the north west of scotland. the rain moving away from scotland, brightening up here and in northern ireland with a few showers. the rate will continue to push and weaken as it heads down towards the south—east. still windy until the weather front does clear. into the afternoon still cloudy across the channel islands, in through sussex, kent and parts of east anglia. brightening up across the midlands, wales, the south—west and into northern england. you could catch the jar in north—west england, northern ireland and western scotland. here it will be blustery. they will also be some sunshine or bright spells. temperatures 1a to 21 degrees. through this evening we start off on a largely dried note, before the next batch of heavy rain pushes in. the winds will strengthen, gales through the irish sea, windy and land strengthen, gales through the irish sea, windy and [and across england

and also wales. you can see this hook of rain, that is coming back in across northern ireland and it will across northern ireland and it will across northern england and southern scotland as we go through the early part of tomorrow. as this moves away, the wind will quite quickly tend to ease. behind that we are back into sunshine, bright spells and some blustery showers, with top temperatures up to 22 celsius. thank you. the time is coming up to 18 minutes past eight. doctors are calling for better access to mental health support so they don't suffer in silence after a study found the profession is at a higher risk of suicide compared with the general population. female physicians are at even greater risk, according to the major —— british medicaljournal. we arejoined by sarahjakes, doctors sarahjakes, agp, and dr clare redstone, who gives bernard advice to people working on high—pressure jobs. good morning. sarah, maybe you

was a trigger in that there was a near miss accident for my family, who were camping on a holiday without me because i was missing being with them because i was having to work again. and they were nearly hit by a car. they weren't hurt, but it was a very near miss. it was the sudden realisation i wasn't there. then there was the realisation that i was never there. and it was kind of, what is the point of me sacrificing my time with my family, me when i'm really not delivering anything on any level? ifelt like i wasn't being a good enough doctor, i wasn't being a good enough doctor, i wasn't being a good enough wife, i wasn't being a good enough wife, i wasn't being a good enough mother. and it was all, what is the point of what i am doing? you and it was all, what is the point of what i am doing?— and it was all, what is the point of what i am doing? you can really get a sense of how _ what i am doing? you can really get a sense of how difficult _ what i am doing? you can really get a sense of how difficult it _ what i am doing? you can really get a sense of how difficult it must i a sense of how difficult it must have been for you, and it is clearly quite difficult to talk about now. so thank you for sharing that. what has helped?—

welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. a man arrested on suspicion of assaulting a number of police officers in south—east london remains in hospital in a serious condition after claiming he ingested drugs. officers were called to penge high street around at 6.30 yesterday following reports of a group of shoplifters. one man was arrested. scotland yard say two police officers became unwell while in the police van with the man after concerns they may have been exposed to chemicals. they were taken to hospital as a precaution. refuse workers in redbridge are set to begin two weeks of industrial action over working conditions. the unite union says its members have less favourable conditions, such as sick pay, compared to other council employees. in a statement redbridge council said its goal was to reach an agreement — minimising any impact on bin collections. tests on the river thames regularly exceed safe levels for harmful bacteria according to a group of so called 'citizen scientists'. they now regularly monitor

the rivers water and found that since mid—may, 47 out of 210 tests carried out contained harmful bacteria. it can cause a lot of illness, essentially. as you can see, there are a lot of people out on the water. we've done one test every week for the past seven weeks, and two of them have come back with a poor rating, which essentially means that we — like, the water is unsafe to swim in. in a statement thames water said "while all storm discharges are unacceptable, the sewage system was historically designed to work in this way to prevent sewage backing up into people's homes. we are committed to seeing our waterways thrive." let's take a look at how the tubes is running this morning. there's severe delays on the bakerloo line and the piccidilly line is partly closed. now onto the weather with kawser.

good morning. it is a cloudy, windy start to the day. outbreaks of rain spreading from west to east and the winds will be strong, gusting up to a0 mph quite widely in the morning into the afternoon, with temperatures reaching about 20 to 21 celsius. some clear spells for a time, but by the end of the night, more in the way of cloud, some showery rain and temperatures overnight 15—17. the wind will start to pick up once more. it is a waving weather front with some dry weather, but friday night into saturday, further outbreaks of rain that will linger into saturday morning. so the bank holiday weekend starts off quite cloudy and wet, but it is an improving day on saturday with more in the way of drier, brighter weather developing, and for the rest of the weekend, largely dry with some sunshine. that's it from me. but why not check out the bbc

news app where you can read about how a fat suit sir ian mckellan was wearing when he fell off the stage back injune helped save him from even more injuries. i'll be back with you in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and luxmy gopal. teenagers across england, wales and northern ireland are opening their gcse and btec results this morning. most of the students getting their grades today were in year 7 when the first covid lockdowns were announced, so have spent every year of their secondary education in the midst, or the wake, of the pandemic. danny savage is at school in manchester this morning. dan kneen, when we spoke to you earlier, you said you were quietly confident on behalf of the students. have you been vindicated?

yes, they have done all right, to say the very least. it has been a really good morning, seeing these young people pouring in to get their results at this college in east manchester. this is an outstanding school and a deprived area, but they have been coming in slowly but surely to get their results this morning, opening their envelopes to see what they've got, and there was a fantastic countdown eight o'clock where they all stood there and then opened their results, and there was a lot of smiling, happy faces. we spent some time here in the past few weeks talking to pupils in anticipation of results day today, and our education correspondent elaine dunkley has this report. # i feel good # i knew that i would now.# a leavers' assembly at wright robinson college in gorton, celebration to mark the end of gcses. but for these pupils, it was a turbulent start to life at secondary school. in year seven, march 2020, a government announcement was made,

that schools should be locked down immediately, with special plans to be rushed into place. the first lockdown we had was like probably the scariest because you couldn't leave your house at all. then there was a lot of talks about like... ..like, the death tolls. it was on tv every single day. so i think it was a scary period. but then i think when we came back after that, it was like, i don't know, it was like, life had changed. we did online lessons, _ online assemblies, the school did home visits, and they did, i uh, calls to check up on us. and i feel like i was supported very well during that period of time. - the covid took everything from us, right? but then, when we got granted back everything, i think that really made us grateful. the pandemic didn't just disrupt learning. across the country, attendances got worse. teachers say they're also dealing with higher levels of anxiety amongst children. morning. morning! here, getting pupils ready for gcses starts early.

these pupils will be taking their exams next year, and regularly have mock exams. the headteacher says it's important for children to understand that feeling nervous is normal. we have to recognise the difference between nerves and anxiety. i think young people going into an exam situation will be nervous. they're coming out of their comfort zone. we've got to be careful that we don't label that then as anxiety, and it's something that we have to overcome, those nerves we have to overcome. listen, i'm not being dismissive of the fact that, of course, young people's mental health and wellbeing has been affected by the pandemic, but i think we have enough support mechanisms in place to overcome that. and i'm very positive about society moving forward. as well as the pandemic, there have also been teachers' strikes and a cost of living crisis. this school is in one of the most deprived areas in the country. supporting families in hard times is crucial in ensuring children thrive in the classroom. there's definitely, you know, more challenge placed on schools,

um, in terms of like mental health supporting parents, carers, also supporting young people. so we've got a range of products in here to support our most vulnerable students and families. it includes everything from sanitary products to body wipes. you know, we've got young people that become homeless through no notice evictions. we have, you know, people moving from property to property while they're in that homeless system. children shouldn't have to worry about their basic needs. and, you know, unfortunately, at the moment, quite a lot of young people are worrying about those things. the last five years have brought challenges in education, but for these pupils, school days have still been the best days. in year seven, i'll be honest, like, a new thing, i was really, really scared. like, i honestly didn't imagine myself now to be, like, actually wanting to come to school and being happy and socialising with people. i think it's just such a blessing to have, and like, everyday school life, it's just something to be cherished really. it's the end of secondary school

for these pupils in a time that has been unprecedented. some of the biggest lessons they've learned are about life. it's really important to dream big and just have big ideas and just like, look towards having a really bright future. it doesn't matter if you're like, from like, a less fortunate background. no matter where you're from, if you have like, big dreams, you'll know that it will motivate you to work harder, work towards them, and just achieve the best that you can. it just proves that when you come together and when you have thatl sense of belief and hope - for the future, that you can really get through anything and you can make something good out - of a negative situation. elaine dunkley, bbc news. so, let's see how they did. in no particular order, let's start with zane. straight 9s. you did how many

shown to slow the progression of alzheimer's disease. it's called lecanemab and the medicines watchdog is expected to rule it can be prescribed privately in the uk — but regulators are yet to decide if it can be used on the nhs. let's speak to neuro—scientist professor tara spires—jones. good morning. notwithstanding the caveats, this is being hailed as ground—breaking, isn't it? it caveats, this is being hailed as ground-breaking, isn't it? it is, scientists _ ground-breaking, isn't it? it is, scientists agree _ ground-breaking, isn't it? it is, scientists agree this _ ground-breaking, isn't it? it is, scientists agree this is - ground-breaking, isn't it? it is, scientists agree this is a - ground—breaking, isn't it? it 3 scientists agree this is a turning point for alzheimer's and dementia more broadly, because lecanemab removes toxic amyloid is from the brain which are slowing disease progression for the first time. it is not a cure, but it is making the disease progress more slowly, so thatis disease progress more slowly, so that is huge progress for us and brings hope to people living with dementia. find brings hope to people living with dementia. �* . brings hope to people living with dementia. . ., ., , , dementia. and what has been the factor that has _ dementia. and what has been the factor that has made _ dementia. and what has been the factor that has made this - dementia. and what has been the factor that has made this more i factor that has made this more successful where previous trials, previous attempts have failed? latte previous attempts have failed? we have previous attempts have failed? , have got better at detecting who is in the very early stages of the disease, for a start. so these drugs

like lecanemab are working on very early stages, and your brain is amazing. you can build up this toxic plaque protein in your brain for decades before you have full—blown alzheimer's, so now we have better ways of detecting who is in the early stages to get them these drugs to lower the amyloid at a time when it is helpful. to lower the amyloid at a time when it is helpful-— it is helpful. professor, good morning- _ it is helpful. professor, good morning. charlie _ it is helpful. professor, good morning. charlie here. - it is helpful. professor, good morning. charlie here. whol it is helpful. professor, good. morning. charlie here. who in it is helpful. professor, good - morning. charlie here. who in the uk will have access to this? that de-ends will have access to this? that depends as — will have access to this? that depends as you _ will have access to this? that depends as you are _ will have access to this? “inst depends as you are saying as to whether nice approves it. if this is approved by the mhra which i believe it will be imminently, then it means that people have access to it in the uk privately. whether it is accessible on the nhs will depend on what nice says, so it will depend on the risks and cost. 50 what nice says, so it will depend on the risks and cost.— the risks and cost. so that determination _ the risks and cost. so that determination is - the risks and cost. so that determination is yet - the risks and cost. so that determination is yet to i the risks and cost. so that determination is yet to be | the risks and cost. so that - determination is yet to be made? correct, although we are going to be talking to nice later on today, so hopefully we will hear more about that later on, but it is important to think that these drugs are not a cure and they have dangerous side effects, so that will weigh into the decision. ., ., ., , .,

available for everyone yet. professor, thank you very much. professor, thank you very much. professor tara spires—jones, neuroscientist at the university of edinburgh, thank you very much. a ray of hope for a lot of people there. the time is 8.48. 60 years ago today match of the day was first broadcast on the bbc, and over those years there've been many memorable goals, saves and last—ditch tackles. it is all about the music, right? match of the day theme plays. everybody knows that you! you say that, but you asked me to hum it to you earlier because you couldn't remember it! but as soon as you hear it, you are taken to the programme. once you get the phrase match of the day, yes. for the best part of 35 years, the voice of barry davies provided the soundtrack to these classic moments. he sat down withjohn watson to reflect on some of his highlights as match of the day turns 60, barry, you were almost there from the start.

1969, you joined the show. yes, five years late. the commentator on our opening match of the season is barry davis. and crystal palace was the first game you commentated on. it was, it wasn't meant to be. i started that day in leeds, i was supposed to do leeds and spurs. kenneth wolstenholme for some reason wasn't available. and david coleman woke up with no voice, so they sent a car for me. crystal palace take the field at selhurst park for their first ever match in the first division. i had no notes with me, i knew almost nothing about them. i got there at about two o'clock and we were on air at three o'clock. and for the next 35 years, you became very closely associated with the programme,

with match of the day. yes. it provided fun. it provided me with a living. i am bragging if i say, but when i went to the palace on one occasion, the comment was, you've been doing this job for quite a long time, and i said, yes, i've been paid for a hobby. you became one of the most recognised voices on tv. people tell me that, yes! yes. it's quite a compliment, actually. it could be, oh, not him again! and one of your famous recognised moments of commentary came on match of the day back in 1974 when it was derby county against manchester city, that famous line. interesting... very interesting! he had just hit an absolute bullet. the moment he got the ball, and i said "interesting", and then he hit this rocket,

and i said "very interesting". and he was like a little boy who had just done something very special. look at his face! just look at his face. it is gascoigne going to have a crack? he is! oh, isay! brilliant! gazza at wembley against arsenal, and i had to remember i was still doing a job. as a kid, a supporter of spurs, nobody knew who i supported while i was on. you have seen it all, really, in your time. colour television coming in, slow—motion replays. now of course we have got var, but you saw a lot of changes happen in football. yes, when the replays came in, john motson and i had to just repeat or identify the goal

that we had just seen, and then they match that up for the programme in the evening. i think we did a pretty good job. we used to compare notes on that sometimes. a lot was made, wasn't it, of this rivalry between you and john motson. more was made of that from people watching than it was between the two of you? motty and i got on pretty well. i think he was a bit lucky. i think he could have given me a bit more room, but he didn't. but i enjoyed what i did. and are there any other moments that stand out for you in your association and your time on the programme? i mean, there are certain goals. fashanu... oh, what a goal! magnificent! justin fashanu for norwich.

a guy who had a rather troubled life, and hejust swivelled round. and clements', even if he hadn't cut his nails for several weeks, he wouldn't have saved that. do you think match of the day will still be around in another 60 years? if the game is around, match of the day will be around, i sincerely hope. it will still be around, i'm sure. that has given you a flavour, but there is a 60th anniversary documentary. match of the day at 60 will be available on bbc iplayer later today and broadcast on bbc one on bank holiday monday at 10:30pm. the time now is 8.52. berry farmers are warning that many of them could soon go out of business because of rising costs, terrible weather and a shortage of workers. ben's on a farm in kent this morning. good morning, ben. looking very appetising, those berries.

yes, we have come black burying this hour. we have come to a different part of the farm. you will notice that there aren't any pickers around me, because the blackberries are not quite ready for picking, they are just starting to turn the right colour. but we have come to the farm to talk about the pressures on bury growers. take a look at the scale of this farm here in kentjust near the dartford crossing. you can see these massive poly tunnels which are a modern way of growing the berries, and it means the growing season can go on for longer and also protects the fruit from a lot of the heavy rain we have had particularly at the start of the summer, and it is all about maximising the return on the investment in the crops and growing them, because bury growers are having a pretty tough time of it, so much so that they are warning that the future supply of berries in the uk could even be at risk. it is

surprising when you realise that we spent 1.87 billion pounds on berries, so strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, in the uk last year, and yet half of bury growers, half of the farmers say they don't make a profit. the bury growers association says that that means that four out of ten bury growers could go out of business —— berry growers could go out of business, that means the cost of labour, packaging, it has all gone up, so that it costs £2000 more to grow a tonne of raspberries now thanit to grow a tonne of raspberries now than it did four years ago, so where does that leave the industry? we can get an overview as we chat to nick from the british berry growers, and there we go. in among the blackberry
