saturday the 24th august. the presenter and football pundit jermainejenas says he feels deeply ashamed — after he was sacked by the bbc for sending inappropriate messages to female colleagues. in an interview with the sun newspaper, the former footballer apologises to the women for making them feel uncomfortable — and to his wife. the former footballer was considered by some to be a rising star on the one show and match of the day. our correspondent graham satchell reports. jermainejenas leaving his home in hertfordshire to give an interview to the sun newspaper. in it, he admits sending inappropriate texts, denies being a sex pest, and says he's ashamed. firstly to say sorry, um, to my wife, to my... you know, to my family, um, to the women involved, as well, and what i've, um, put...put them through. we've had a host of massive stars on the show, and tonight is no different. jenas, who says he was sacked by the bbc on monday,

now acknowledges he has a problem — a self—destructive streak for which he says he's getting help. he says part of the reason he's speaking publicly is to correct rumours on social media. there is nothing illegal that has happened here. um... this is consenting adults that messaged each other. now...this is completely on me. um... i am 100% in the wrong, and i accept full responsibility for that. and it's something that obviously i need to address and look at myself. jermainejenas was a midfielder who played for newcastle, spurs and england. a different approach to the game. he moved to punditry on shows like match of the day, earning close to £200,000 a year. he now says he feels like he's lost everything. the family situation is the thing that's at first — is at the forefront of my mind, that i'm trying to just

piece back together. but i've also got to be able to kind of look myself in the mirror and understand where i've gone wrong, and understand that this is on me — it's not on anybody else, there's nobody else to blame here. jenas says he's still considering suing the bbc for the way it handled his sacking, but he's been dropped by his agent, and talksport — where he also worked — have said there are no plans for him to present in the immediate future. it is a dramatic fall from grace for a star who many considered had a bright future. graham satchell, bbc news. there has been no response here from the bbc to this interview given to the bbc to this interview given to the newspaper but i think there will be a good deal of relief around the corporation, particularly because of the way it was heavily criticised after the edwards case. in this case the allegations were made a matter of weeks ago and he says he was sacked on monday so this has been dealt with much more quickly. it is a candid interview given by germane to the sun and part of the reason he

has done it is to add some clarity. there have been some speculation on social media linking this case with that of edwards who, you will remember, admitted possessing indecent images of children. jermaine is making it clear in his post that this has nothing to do with that. it was inappropriate text messages between consenting adults, two women who worked at the one show. nonetheless this morning he is in the fight of his life for his wife, his career and his reputation. thank you very much. that was the latest on that story. there has been a breaking story overnight in germany and charlie has more details. a manhunt is under way in germany after three people were killed and another five seriously injured in an apparently random knife attack. it happened during a festival in the city centre of solingen last night. roads have been blocked, and residents asked to stay indoors as officers carry out their search. 0ur reporterjack surfleet has the details. a warning — this report

many of us. this is how we are starting off the day. lots of rain towards the south at the moment. it is a brighter start further north and west, still some showers to the north and west, but this is the focus of all our weather today, i�*m afraid. all of this rain speeding and from the southwest, it is really just coming away from the southwest up just coming away from the southwest up towards east anglia as we head through the course of the morning. some spots could see quite a lot of rain within a short space of time. some heavy downpours. southeast england has had a dry august so far, so welcome rain for the gardens, but some of that rain could lead to localised flooding. it is all moving away into the north sea in the afternoon. sunny spells, heavy and thundery showers may be following behind. forthe thundery showers may be following behind. for the rest of the uk, well, some sunny spells but also some showers, most of those showers across north—western scotland, where disdain rather windy still. it will be breezy wherever you are but not as windy as it was yesterday. call for this time of year. temperatures well below par. overnight tonight it is going to be chilly. lots of the

showers will fade away, there will be 20 of close spells, but most of the temperatures will it back into high single figures, so not feeling very much like late august, as we start off sunday. —— dip back into high single figures. this time the focus for the heaviest of the rain will be across south—western scotland, down from north—western england and perhaps the north wales as well. just where we don�*t need the rain, where it has been very wet recently. northern scotland, sunny spells and some showers. for much of england and wales it is looking drier with sunny spells and areas of cloud, a few showers perhaps out towards the west. still rather windy for this time of year. still quite blustery. temperatures still below the average, but starting to rise in the average, but starting to rise in the southeast of england, where we could get to 20 celsius. an improving picture for most of us, into bank holiday monday. high pressure starting to build from the south, still a few showers to the north and the west, but i think for many of us it is going to be a much drier day, yes it will be cloudy at

times, and there could also be some bright and sunny spells. temperatures creeping back where we would expect them to be at this time of year. generally, high teens, low 20s, and if wejust of year. generally, high teens, low 20s, and if we just take a quick look at the outlook for the rest of the week, of course, the last week of the summer holidays for many children, temperatures in the south could get close to 30 celsius, cooler in the west. in the late 1980s, canary wharf transformed london�*s derelict docklands into a modern office district — and became a symbol of the city�*s thriving financial services industry. but fast—forward four decades and the post—covid legacy of working from home means that demand for office space is falling. with major companies like hsbc leaving the area, our reporter emma north has been finding out how canary wharf is adapting. the birth of canary wharf took a down at heel docklands and made it home to the world�*s financial

"i�*m so ashamed" is the headline. the former spurs and england midfielder had his contract terminated earlier this week after an investigation into allegations of his behaviour at work. the mirror also leads with jenas�*s sacking. the paper says bbc staff are "horrified" by the texts, carrying the headline: "not a leg to stand on". the guardian leads on the continued backlash to the chancellor, rachel reeves�*, plans to cut winter fuel benefits for pensioners. the paper quotes campaigners who raise "fears of a cruel winter" if the help is withdrawn. the mail splashes on the same story, saying millions of pensioners could face a £500 increase to their energy bills because of the cuts. good morning. we�*re talking about cricket, we thought we might be done inside three days at old trafford because sri lanka didn�*t make good start with the bat. credit to them, they are battling, so we go to the fourth day. england closing very much on victory, and jamie smith, what a reflection he has been. his test debut summit, he has got his

maiden test century now, such a bright spark for the future. that�*s clear. england in charge, it feels as though today, weather permitting, it could be the day they get themselves over the line heading today four of this first test, after a day to rememberforjamie smith, with that first test century that helps england move towards victory against sri lanka. the tourists closed on 20a—6, mentis and matthews helping them to still make a competition, only 82 runs ahead, as joe wilson reports. the bat is straight and true. the batter calm, composed, already recognisable as jamie smith, and his hundred let england. but no mention of theirfirst innings hundred let england. but no mention of their first innings would be complete without a reference to a crowd catch that set the bar the technique, daring and drink preservation. mark with six that hand. it even left england�*s coaches wondering how it could done so well,

with so little spell. anyway. sri lanka�*s second innings began horribly. but it was revived significantly by angela matthews and committee members, a partnership to keepin committee members, a partnership to keep in mind wandering and working, and needing a couple of late catches to regain the upper hand. sri lanka are 82 runs ahead, but they are sick �*s wickets down. well, sri lanka will resume still battling on the second innings, still building a lead. but with jamie smith, england may well feel they have a matchwinner, notjust for here and now but for years to come. joe wilson, bbc news, old trafford. yes, things looking good for england. england�*s charley hull is three shots off the lead at the halfway point of the women�*s open golf. last year�*s runner—up at walton heath birdied three of her last five holes after a poor start at st andrews. she carded a second—round 72 to put her in a tie for second at five—under—par with defending champion lilia vu. they trail world number one nelly korda who leads

the way at 8—under. i was playing just as well as i did yesterday, ijust missed a lot of short putts. every part i missed that was short was inside four feet. i felt with rain this morning that was short was inside four feet. ifelt with rain this morning it that was short was inside four feet. i felt with rain this morning it was a bit scipio, i didn�*t trust my stroke on the short putts, so you can kind of get away from yourself. but i grounded on the back line stop i am feeling well going into wards tomorrow. a frustrating day for rory mcilroy at the pga tour�*s bmw championship. the 00v)the world number three shot a 1—under 71 in round two, which wasn�*t without incident — after a wayward tee—shot on 17, mcilroy threw his driver into the water in disgust. he�*ll start today�*s third round 10 shots off the pace set by australian adam scott, who carded a brilliant 63 to lead at 10—under. leeds united have their first win of the championship season. daniel farke�*s side won 2—0 against yorkshire rivals sheffield wednesday at hillsbrough.

brendan aaronsen gave them a first half lead before danjames sprinted clear to add a second after the break. having started the season drawing their first two games, this a welcome victory. seven games in the premier league this afternoon and ilkay gundogan could make his second manchester city debut. the former club captain has completed his return from barcelona on an initial 1—year deal and city have been given international clearance to field the midfielder in their first home game of the season against newly—promoted ipswich town. we know him quite well, the staff and the players and everyone. and, you know the quality that he played last season in barcelona, he played a high level, consistency and are producing a lot. we didn�*t have any doubts. yeah. absolutely delighted that he is back.

manchester united travel to brighton for the lunchtime kick off, with manager erik ten hag facing a decision whether to includejadon sancho. the england internationalfell out of favour last season but the united boss isn�*t ruling out bringng sancho back into the team, amid reports of a possible move to italian giantsjuventus. i think as a squad we have to reflect on that situation. there are things that are going to happen this season, 100%, and we have to deal with it, because that player, indian, can make the difference. we have players in the squad who are all capable of playing in the first 11 or at least playing in the first 15, so then you have playtime in every game. arsenal manager mikel arteta says he�*ll open talks about a new contract with the club once the transfer window has closed. his side travel to aston villa in the late game, hoping to avoid a third league defeat in a row against unai emery�*s side. artera�*s current contract expires at the end of this season but talks are not expected to be a problem.

the focus has been on the transfer window, we had quite a lot of things to do. we will take care of that in the right moment. i am very grateful, first of all, from where i am sitting, and the people that we are with every single day, because it is really difficult to find that harmony, that trust, i believe. something i always mention. in the scottish premiership, _ something i always mention. in the scottish premiership, top— something i always mention. in the scottish premiership, top of- something i always mention. in the scottish premiership, top of the i scottish premiership, top of the table celtic travel to st mirren tomorrow. meanwhile, rangers boss phillipe clement is hopeful his side will be able return to ibrox after today�*s match against ross county. they�*ve played their first three home games at hampden park because of the delayed refurbishment to the club�*s copland stand. i cannot give guarantees about an ibrox situation, i can only say that for the moment things are going on a positive way. the club is happy with how things are evolving now. and

everybody is doing efforts, day and night, to get this as fast as possible back at putts —— ibrox. mercedes look to have picked up from where they left off after formula one�*s summer break by claiming two of the top three places in practice ahead of the dutch grand prix. george russell was disqualified after finishing first last time out in belgium. the briton was back on top in zandvoort though, beating the mclaren of oscar piastri byjust six hundredths of a second. his mercedes team mate lewis hamilton who inherited that win in spa was third quickest as they look to continue their recent good form. championship leader max verstappen was fifth. qualifying gets underway at 2:00. really difficult out there because it was so windy. the windiest i remembered from my last couple of years. but the car was performing really well. good team to be working, as expected, looks like a quite close battle with mclaren. the men�*s tennis world number one jannik sinner has been speaking

for the first time since it was revealed he failed an anti—doping test in march. the italian was cleared of wrong doing by a tribunal last week, which found he�*d been inadvertently contaminated with a steroid administed by his physiotherapist giacomo naldi. sinner�*s now parted company with him and his fitness trainer umberto ferrara. i haven�*t done anything wrong, i had to play already a match with this in my head, but, you know, just remembering myself that i haven�*t done really anything wrong. i always respected these rules and i always will respect these rules of anti—doping. leeds rhinos super league play—off hopes remain alive after a battling win over catalan dragons last night. they scored three tries as they came from behind to win at headingley having begun the night four points adift of the playoff places. it�*s nowjust two. they were 6—0 down at the break but three tries in the second half saw them run out 18—6 winners. denting catalans hopes

the archery team are warming up nicely for the paralympics. a friendly international tournament pits them against some of the global rivals. phoebe patterson pine won gold in tokyo three years ago and it has made her an unexpected celebrity. has made her an unexpected celebrity-— has made her an unexpected celebri . ~ ., ., ., , celebrity. when i got home there was a kind of, celebrity. when i got home there was a kind of. you — celebrity. when i got home there was a kind of, you are _ celebrity. when i got home there was a kind of, you are that _ celebrity. when i got home there was a kind of, you are that person - celebrity. when i got home there was a kind of, you are that person who i a kind of, you are that person who did archery in tokyo. that was me. recently i have been to the dentist and the dentist said i watched you win gold and i say oh, ok. which is strange but i really appreciate the support that i have been given. because the biggest difference in paris will be the family and friends coming on the trip to support the archers. it will be a different competition to the pandemic games of 2021. it competition to the pandemic games of 2021. ., , ., ., ., ., , 2021. it means a lot to me to be able to have _ 2021. it means a lot to me to be able to have my _ 2021. it means a lot to me to be able to have my friends - 2021. it means a lot to me to be able to have my friends and i 2021. it means a lot to me to be able to have my friends and my | able to have my friends and my family over there for moral support and to be able to see them like i have a bad day then being able to go

others. the opening ceremony is next wednesday. we will be back with the headlines at seven o�*clock but first an in—depth look at the woman vying to become the usa�*s first female president. vice—president kamala harris will face donald trump in november�*s election, but who is she and how did she rise to the top of her party? the american people deserve a leader who tells the truth, a leader who does not respond with hostility and anger when confronted with the facts. she's a chameleon. whatever anybody wants her to be, that's what she is. kamala harris. when i am president, we will continue our fight for working families of america. she is leading the democrats�* campaign for the white house. do we believe in the promise of america? crowd: yeah! christians have to stand up and stop her from radicalising america. born in california, she�*s risen fast.

we did it, joe! a mother from south asia, she has a father from jamaica, she's married to a jew — doesn't get a whole lot more diverse than that. she is progressive, but she'sl progressive and she is tough. when we fight, we win! she has completely reinvigorated this whole election. she�*s under attack from donald trump. kamala is worse i thanjoe, is worse. she's a radical left lunatic. someone who suggests we should terminate the constitution should never again stand behind the seal of president of the united states! this will be the meanest, nastiest campaign in modern history. the impact on our democracy will be meaningful, measurable, and horrific. if she wins, what would she do? getting back our reproductive rights as women. _ we need that back.

we're not going back. she�*s pragmatic. she�*s someone who wants results. she�*s not an ideologue. this is kamala harris�*s story — where she�*s from, what she believes in, who she is. we choose freedom. # freedom, freedom, i can't move... - kamala harris, us democratic party star. # i'ma keep running. # cos a winner don't i quit on themselves #. the summer of 202a saw her campaign for the white house get under way. the goal — to make her the first woman and the first woman of colour to become president of the united states. it's high time we had a female head of state here in the usa. her republican opponent, donald trump, on the offensive.

ultraliberal kamala harris will deliver crime, chaos, mayhem and death to our country. i don't like her. she's a california liberal. everybody's so excited i about being here today. i mean, she's definitely reinvigorated _ the democratic party. she is the perfect candidate to run against trump. kamala harris was born in oakland, california, which is right across the bay from san francisco. her mother was an immigrant from india, and herfather was an immigrant from jamaica. they met at the university of california at berkeley, and this was in the very early i960s — herfather, donald harris, he was an economist. her mother became a cancer researcher. she represents both the indian community as well as - the african american community. she's someone who speaks to that very often. - she was able to maintain a lot| of the customs and the culture of her indian heritage, i but also lean in on her black heritage at the same time. it was still a conservative

time in america. berkeley still had segregated schools. white kids went to nicer schools. the kids of colour went to schools in the flats, where she lived. so in first grade, five or six years old, she was bussed as part of an integration plan to a school in the hills that had been primarily white. so she was among the first kids in berkeley who were bussed to desegregate schools. her parents were obviously very liberal people, and they went to protests. the late 19605 and early �*70s was a time of great political ferment. the united states was at war in vietnam, there were civil rights issues, there were a lot of protests. it was a big thing. they were part of it. they weren�*t leaders in it, but they were certainly, um, participants. kamala harris represents the diversity, the melange,

the melting pot, if you will, that the united states is becoming. it's really exciting _ and encouraging to see a woman and potentially have the first african—american woman i be in her position. well, she�*s indian, jamaican, and so they�*re trying to package her as an african—american, but she doesn�*t have that heritage of folks who were brought here by slavery. she has a mother from south asia, she has a father from jamaica, she's married to a jew — doesn't get a whole lot more diverse than that. her parents divorced when she was quite young, and they shared custody. and i�*ve seen what records there are of the harris divorce. her parents had very little. they split a couple hundred dollars in bank accounts. they split books and they split record albums. they certainly didn�*t have money. she's a child of divorce,

as most american children at this point are or will be at some point. at the age of 12, kamala harris moved to montreal in canada with her mother and sister. she went to high school there. she�*s doing what a high school kid does. she�*s having a good time. you can see yearbook photos of her and she�*s always, you know, big smile. she�*s having a good time. she studied at howard university, a historically black university in washington, dc. in choosing to go to a historically black college and university, an hbcu, being someone who also chose to join the sorority alpha kappa alpha — the akas, a black female sorority — that matters. so i think that for kamala harris, it also speaks to some significant choices that she made early on, not only to shape her path moving forward, but also because she is very prideful of her heritage. that heritage now questioned by donald trump

and his supporters. she was always of indian heritage and she was only promoting indian heritage. i didn�*t know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black, and now she wants to be known as black. so i don�*t know, is she indian or is she black? she has always - identified as a black... i respect either one. i respect either one, but she obviously doesn�*t. the first thing that i thought of when i saw trump try to categorise harris and criticise how she communicates her ethnicity was, "ew." this is...this is uncool. this is not becoming of a 2024 presidential campaign. we have enough divisions in this country by partisanship, by age, by ethnicity. she clearly is not a black woman. i seems like we're pulling apart as a country. and to insert race in the way that trump did wasjust icky to me. she is black when it�*s

convenient for her, and i think that�*s what his message was, is that she uses it when it�*s convenient. when you don't have anything to really attack somebody on, especially if that candidate i is a woman, you go towards sexism, you go towards racism. it makes me somewhat fearful. we already are horrifically polarised. thisjust makes things even worse. as the campaign continued, attention focused on the so—called rust belt, the swing states in the midwest that are america�*s former industrial heartland and key to winning the election. some observers were predicting that tv debates and rallies would generate even more campaign venom. kamala knewjoe couldn�*t do thejob, so she did it. look what she got done. a border invasion, runaway inflation, the american dream. ..dead. this will be the meanest, nastiest campaign in modern history.

they have no respect for each other. they will treat each other horrifically, and the impact on our democracy will be meaningful, measurable, and horrific. i think this race has. the potential to be one of the nastiest and ugliest we have seen— in american history. fight! and we have got to fight now more than ever for our nation. ithink trump... worse than weird — he's dangerous. he's a criminal. the last three and a half years have been a nightmare, - and everybody knows that. kamala harris has been a big part of it. - vance complements trump, who�*s an even bigger idiot. i think kamala harris's campaign is more... it's all over the place. she's a chameleon. whatever anybody wants her to be, that's what she is. i he abuses women. he�*s horrible. i think he's a complete narcissist. it's notjust because she'sj a woman, but it's because she's a black woman. it's because of the process byl which she got the nomination. i think you can tell _ from some of the trump—vance rhetoric that's already out there on childless cat i ladies running the world,

um, and it's tough. i we�*re effectively run in this country via the democrats, be it via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable... ijust find that comment completely unacceptable. i don't recall ever before, certainly at the national level, where we've had these kind of demeaning, disparaging, bullying kinds of comments. i mean, it'sjust outrageous. the biggest weakness that i vice president kamala harris will have in this race - is that she is a black woman. in america, we have a racism problem. i we have a sexism problem. we have a problem with seeing | women at the thrones of power. that is not something that is| new to us, but unfortunately, it's something that many people across this country _ have not gotten over. it is a myth to say that african—americans don�*t want law enforcement.

we do. we want our grandmothers to be able to walk to church and be safe. we want our babies... in her 20s, kamala harris became a lawyer. she rose quickly — prosecutor, district attorney, california attorney general. she was a prosecutor, so she put people in prison. i was in need of somebody to head up our family- and children's services - division, and so i approached kamala as to whether or not she might be available. i i found kamala very easy to work with. i you had violent cases where i a prosecutor had to be tough, and she could do that, and she did do that. i i have... i will never make an excuse for saying this and...or apology for saying this. one human being kills another human being? a woman is raped? a child is molested? there needs to be serious consequence and accountability. applause. and i�*m going to always say that. but by the same token, the thing that i liked i

about kamala was that — and still do — is that she| was a very kind person. she is progressive, but she�*s progressive and she is tough. and i think that that�*s something that you don�*t often hear together. the thing about this that is really interesting to me is that, for republicans, it takes away their tough—on—crime mantra. that is what they've run on. she was an actual prosecutor, someone who prosecuted crimes. and that experience became a key part of kamala harris�*s presidential pitch, reminding voters about the criminals she had helped send to jail. predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. so hear me when i say i know donald trump�*s type. kamala harris married doug emhoff in 201a. he�*s a lawyer and a campaigner

against anti—semitism. in the 1990s, she dated willie brown, the speaker of the california assembly. willie brown is a very influential person in california history. he is mentor to numerous politicians, and certainly he helped kamala harris in her 2003 san francisco district attorney election. so i should say that it's been used multiple times against her in campaigns, and voters have taken it into consideration and elected her. oh, i, you know, i've read articles that said that i kamala owes her career to mayor willie brown —j who, incidentally, is a good friend of mine, as well — i and i think that's laughable. obviously only she would be i able to accomplish, you know, being district attorney, state attorney - general, us senator. i mean, she is the one thatj accomplished those things.

i�*ll repeat the question. can you think of any laws that gives the government the power to make decisions about the male body? i'm not a... i'm not...thinking of any right now, senator. i think kamala harris- was a very tough senator. i think her questioning - of supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh when he was...before he was sworn in, was one of- the best things i've ever seen. it's something that i think will go down as one - of the greatest lines - of questioning of a supreme court nominee in us history, because he couldn't - think of one. well, arthel, former vice presidentjoe biden, well, he now has enough delegates to secure the democratic nomination. kamala harris was one of those joe biden had beaten to become the democratic party nominee for the white house in 2020. her campaign fizzled quickly at the time. when she took onjoe biden in the presidential debate

in 2019, i thought, "this is the end of him and the beginning of her," and, boy, was i wrong. it just came apart. the lack of seriousness, the lack of...consistency, the lack of...of focus that you expect in a presidential candidate was not part of her campaign. it ain't easy, right, to go i from being a district attorney, quickly, to senator. she didn't have much. time to learn the ropes of national politics. uh, it happens to many. many people enter the race. many people don't last very long. i everybody and their mama, for lack of a better term, was running for president. i think that in a very crowded race, it's...it's tough. but you have to ask yourself, did she really fail? _

now, when she entered the race, she was...she entered to win. she wasn't running for second place, but she ended up getting second place. she ended up becoming president biden's vice president. we did it, joe. you�*re going to be the next president of the united states. ..harris, do solemnly swear... i, kamala devi harris, do solemnly swear... ..that i will support and defend the constitution... now, vice president harris was given responsibility for tackling illegal migration across america�*s border with mexico. but the number of migrants entering the us unlawfully rose. and the vice president�*s opponents pointed to what they saw as her weak response to questions about her approach. we�*ve been to the border. you haven't been to the border. and i haven�*t been to europe. and, i mean, i don�*t...i don�*t... i think that the republicans will make the border- and immigration a top priority for them and point to - vice president harris's- involvement as the immigration tsar, as they call her.

three years, she was the border tsar. she let it be known, "i am the border tsar." then she never went to the border. these are... she�*s terrible. she�*s worse than he is. i�*ll tell you right now. she was not a successful vice president. we asked people repeatedly, "name me a harris accomplishment as vice president," and more than half the country cannot. i mean, she hasn't done anything in four years. l like, everything - she was appointed to, she hasn't done anything. like i said, everything he says he's going to do, he does it. i she's vice president for three and a half years, and they still can't point to anything that she actually did. it wasn�*tjust her track record that came under scrutiny. there was criticism, too, of the style of some of her media appearances. their word for me is momala. and so they call me momala. we need you to be momala of the country. cheering and applause. i eat no for breakfast. yes! she was attacked over her mannerisms, including the way she laughed.

excuse my language. they're trying to make her into a, let's say, margaret thatcher. i don't think so. it's not going to happen. margaret thatcher didn't laugh like that, did she? did she laugh? it's interesting to me that the republicansl criticise a laugh. it's something that i i really find endearing about kamala harris. it's how i know that she enjoys what she does. i joe biden was being heavily criticised for a series of stumbles and gaffes. and now i want to hand it over to the president of ukraine. ladies and gentlemen, president putin. president putin? he�*s going to beat president putin. president zelensky. then injune came this. the...the...the total initiative relative to what we can do with more border patrol and more asylum officers. president trump? i really don't know- what he said at the end of that sentence.

i don't think he knows what he said either. i a presidential debate disaster. less than a month later, the biden campaign was over. republicans knew that the likelihood of biden making it through the election campaign was very low. but in the end, they weren�*t prepared for it. the republicans may have been unprepared, but inside the white house, kamala harris was not. i think someone who is as politically skilled as kamala harris would have a campaign waiting in the wings, no matter what. i think this campaign plan could have been put in place in 2028, or it could have been put in place in july of 2024. and i think it's smart that she had as many phone numbers ready to go as she did, to call on other united states senators and other elected leaders across the country, to get them to endorse her within the first 24 to 48 hours. within a few days, endorsements came from the highest levels of the democratic party. barack obama: we called to say, michelle and i couldn't _ be prouder to endorse - you and to do everything we can

to get you through this i election and into the oval office. oh, my goodness. michelle, barack, this means so much to me. other, less predictable endorsements came, as well. they included this one from the british pop star charli xcx. the harris campaign leaned in. it created a header image for the new kamala hq x account, in the style of charli xcx�*s brat album cover. i am somewhat stunned by the speed with which the democratic party came together behind her. uh, it was a matter of a day, a day and a half. and i think it speaks to the degree to which democrats were very nervous aboutjoe biden's candidacy and the degree to which there was a consensus that the last thing that the party needs now is a food fight. it would have been better for her to have won - the nomination rather-

than to have been anointed. and if we had democracy, there would have been a primary, and kamala would not be just picked out of nowhere. to have to prove yourself, i that kind of battle sets you up for the war, which you know you're going to have - from donald trump. in politics, trial by fire - makes a stronger candidate, a better candidate. stronger and better or not, what are the issues that a harris administration would need to address? getting back our reproductive rights as women. we need that back. yeah. we're not going back. in 2022, there were widespread protests against a decision by the us supreme court to overturn the landmark roe v wade legal ruling on abortion. roe v wade had guaranteed women the right to an abortion up to about 2a weeks. kamala supports women and our right to choose for our bodies, and that matters more than anyone could ever imagine.

people all have their rights to their own decisions, their bodies, their choices. women's rights. definitely crucial. definitely something that i look for, as a woman, as a woman who has a daughter. she's been the most vocal proponent of women's i reproductive rights and women's access to not only abortion i care, but also things i like in vitro fertilisation for women who are - working to become moms. she's incredibly focused on issues that are impacting certainly black women, but women generally in the united states. donald trump said he wants to punish women. booing. and as a result of his actions, today in america, one out of three women live in a state with a trump abortion ban. one out of three. she's a radical. she's an absolute radical on abortion. we need teachers to get paid what they deserve. | we need nurses in every school.

education. education is very important and just caring about the people. she will have a focus on education that helps minority students, helps women achieve that equity that they...that they don�*t have at this point in time. voting rights and voting rights access. because one of the fears in any american election at this point is whether or not black voters will have access to the ballot. there are questions, too, about the war in ukraine. would a president harris keep funding the country�*s fight against russia? and what about israel and gaza? would kamala harris continue to back israel? i think for the most part, you�*ll see more continuity than change in a harris foreign policy. uh... as far as we know, there really haven�*t been any fundamental differences of...of opinion when it comes to the big issues of the day. ukraine, dealing with china, the conflict in gaza. kamala harris, as vice president, has already met with over 150 world leaders.

and so, thinking through the relationships she's already built, i think that we would be very well positioned to maintain america's place in the world, should she become president. this man is helping kamala harris carry her agenda forward. her running mate — minnesota governor tim walz. she was likely hoping his reputation as an affable family man would be a big asset. hey, minnesota. governor walz here out here at the state fair with my daughter... hope. every year, we as a family do something old and something new. i get to pick something — a classic — the old mill ride, we do that, and then hope gets to pick something new. i think we're going to go do the slingshot. screaming. oh, my... i think it's good to have, - like, a moderate, more moderate candidate to be by her side. the economic policies that the harris walz campaign is pushing for is really what this country needs.

but do enough voters agree? and will they put kamala harris in the white house as president? election victory for her would cap a spectacular rise. for many americans, it would mean much more. i think it�*s very significant for america to elect an african—american woman to the white house for the first time. kamala harris has been the first of many things — first woman attorney general in california, first female vice president. i think that her being the first assures that she will not be the last female president, and i think that�*s something that a lot of younger women can look to and aspire to. i'm not worried that someone won't accept the results of this election — i'm actually petrified. because i believe that our democracy in america is at a breaking point, and i'm afraid that one more election like 2020 will actually cause it to break. i have always said that i always hoped in my lifetime to see a woman president. i hope i finally see that now.

good morning.

welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and rachel burden. our headlines today: a manhunt is under way after three people are killed and five seriously injured in a knife attack at a festival in germany. sacked bbc presenter jermaine jenas apologises for his conduct — but says he�*s done nothing illegal after he admits to sending inappropriate texts. this is completely on me. i am 100% in the wrong and i accept full responsibility for that. initial findings of the investigation into the sinking of a superyacht in sicily are expected to be released this morning. stolen in a matter of seconds — how organised crime gangs are using technology to steal luxury cars from people�*s driveways. england are closing in on victory at old trafford. despite a battling performance from sri lanka, it�*s england in charge as they look to wrap up victory on day four of the first test.

in the storm has now cleared away but it is still a wet and windy day for many of us but an improving picture later. good morning, it�*s saturday the 2ath august. police in germany are searching for an attacker who fatally stabbed three people in the western city of solingen. five others were seriously wounded. witnesses have reported that a man stabbed passers—by at random during a festival to mark the anniversary of the city�*s founding. the motive for the attack is still not clear. our reporterjack surfleet has the details. a warning, this report contains flashing images. an evening of celebration that ended in despair. shortly before ten o�*clock as crowds gathered a street festival in downtown solingen, an unknown perpetrator attack several people with a knife before fleeing the scene. solingen is a city in western germany, around 18 miles west of dusseldorf.

thousands were on the streets celebrating its history when this tragic event unfolded. people were like running away from the scene. many were very calm so we did not have a panic but it was shocking and everybody who had to see that, i cannot imagine what that is like. the incident prompted a huge initial response from emergency services with armed officers attending the scene. medical workers treating victims in the streets and the purported deployment of a0 tactical vehicles to help with the search for the attacker. a cordon remained in place overnight as officers tried to piece together the events of the evening. their search for the suspect is ongoing. translation: we would like to have a precise i description of the perpetrator. that is difficult. witnesses are in shock or cannot speak at the moment.

they are all being looked after. we must put everything together like a jigsaw puzzle so that we can now expand our search and look for the perpetrator. reaction so far has been sombre. the city�*s mayor posted on social media that people are in shock, horror and great grief and says he has tears in his eyes for those who have died. this latest incident comes just one week after the german interior minister called for tougher measures on knife crime. the attack last night is likely to only amplify that call as a city grieves for those it has lost. jack surfleet, bbc news. let�*s speak to our correspondent damian mcguinness who�*s in berlin this morning. damian — what�*s the latest on the search for the attacker? police have cordoned off large parts of the town and they are still

searching for the attacker. the perpetrator appears to still be on the run. nothing is known about who may have carried out the attack or why, which is why of course officials here are asking people to not speculate. they set up a special hotline and asked people or eyewitnesses to contact them if they know anything at all or if they have any images or any footage which may help the investigation because, of course, the worry is that essentially the attacker is still at large. what is good, however, is that police suspect that this person appears to have been acting on their own. but it was a brutal act of violence according to the regions minister president. he said it was completely senseless and that is why the whole city is in shock right now as we heard in that report does now stop is there any further update on the condition of those who were wounded in the attack? well, eight people wounded in total, three have

died and five people are seriously wounded. this is an ongoing situation and, of course, it is horrific for those involved and horrific for those involved and horrific for those who witnessed anything but it is also for the hull city, really, this is something that has shop the region. of course, this comes in the back of a broader debate about knife crime in general and what we�*ve seen over the last few is a huge debate here about how to crack down on knife crime because they have been a number of instances over the past few months and years, injune 29—year—old policeman was killed in a stabbing, he was trying to defend people who had been attacked at a demonstration. he died from his injuries. a few years ago there was anotherfatal from his injuries. a few years ago there was another fatal stabbing. we have had a spate of these incidents and that is really why the government recently has been saying well, how do you crackdown on this? there is all sorts of legislation such as limiting the size of knives but the problem is really that

whatever weapon you use, what we see right now is the feeling that there are some disturbed individuals, whatever the motive, who are prepared to carry out the most shocking incidents and right now the key thing is finding out who the perpetrator was and putting him behind bars. perpetrator was and putting him behind bars-— perpetrator was and putting him behind bars. ., ~' , ., , . behind bars. thank you very much. that is the — behind bars. thank you very much. that is the latest _ behind bars. thank you very much. that is the latest from _ behind bars. thank you very much. that is the latest from germany i behind bars. thank you very much. | that is the latest from germany and here is charlie now with the latest news. the presenter and football pundit, jermainejenas, says he feels deeply ashamed — after he was sacked by the bbc for sending inappropriate messages to female colleagues. in an interview with the sun newspaper, the former footballer apologises to the women for making them feel uncomfortable — and to his wife. our correspondent graham satchell reports. jermainejenas leaving his home in hertfordshire to give an interview to the sun newspaper. in it, he admits sending inappropriate texts, denies being a sex pest, and says he�*s ashamed. firstly to say sorry, um, to my wife, to my... you know, to my family, um, to the women involved, as well, and what i�*ve, um, put...put them through.

we've had a host of massive stars on the show, and tonight is no different. jenas, who says he was sacked by the bbc on monday, now acknowledges he has a problem — a self—destructive streak for which he says he�*s getting help. he says part of the reason he�*s speaking publicly is to correct rumours on social media. there is nothing illegal that has happened here. um... this is consenting adults that messaged each other. now...this is completely on me. um... i am 100% in the wrong, and i accept full responsibility for that. and it�*s something that obviously i need to address and look at myself. jermainejenas was a midfielder who played for newcastle, spurs and england. a different approach to the game. he moved to punditry on shows like match of the day, earning close to £200,000 a year. he now says he feels like he�*s lost everything. the family situation is the thing that�*s at first — is at the forefront of my mind,

that i�*m trying to just piece back together. but i�*ve also got to be able to kind of look myself in the mirror and understand where i�*ve gone wrong, and understand that this is on me — it�*s not on anybody else, there�*s nobody else to blame here. jenas says he�*s still considering suing the bbc for the way it handled his sacking, but he�*s been dropped by his agent, and talksport — where he also worked — have said there are no plans for him to present in the immediate future. it is a dramatic fall from grace for a star who many considered had a bright future. graham satchell, bbc news. we have had no response this morning from the bbc but i think there will be a good deal of relief at the top of the corporation particularly because it was heavily criticised for the way it handled the hugh edwards case that dragged on and on. with this case the allegations were made a matter of weeks ago and he was sacked on monday so this has all been dealt with much more quickly.

this is a candid and apologetic interview in the son this morning. part of the reasonjermainejenas part of the reason jermaine jenas gaveit part of the reason jermaine jenas gave it is to quash rumours part of the reasonjermainejenas gave it is to quash rumours on social media where he has been compared with hugh edwards. who admitted to possessing indecent images of children. jermainejenas says it has nothing to do with that. in his words these are highly inappropriate texts sent between consenting women, —— adults. this morning howeverjermainejenas is in the fight of his life for the relationship with his wife, for his career and for his reputation. prosecutors in sicily are expected to outline the initial findings of their investigation into the sinking of british superyacht — the bayesian, later this morning. seven people died when the vessel went down during a storm off the coast of the island on monday. our correspondent bethany bell is in porticello. bethany, what can we expect to hear from prosecutors there later this morning?

and there is due to be a press conference later on this morning? tell us more. conference later on this morning? tell us more-— tell us more. this will be the first time we will _ tell us more. this will be the first time we will have _ tell us more. this will be the first time we will have heard _ tell us more. this will be the first time we will have heard from i time we will have heard from prosecutors in this case. it should be stressed that this investigation is an extremely early—stage. it is an investigation in italy it is called an investigation against unknown persons and this allows the investigator to gather as much in furtherance of material as possible to see if they will eventually press charges of one sort or another against people. it should also be said that there is no formal investigation against any particular individual at this time. however there are many questions about how there are many questions about how the superyacht went under, the speed at which went under, where their errors, weather measures that could have been taken to prevent that

happening? but we spoke to the professor of maritime law at the university of palermo and he said justice in italy work slowly and he does not expect there will be answers to this for at least six months. ., ., ., ~ , ., anyone found guilty of stealing a cat or dog in england and northern ireland could now face up to five years in prison, under a new law that�*s come into force today. previously the theft of a household animal was treated in the same way as the stealing of an object. campaigners said it would recognise the emotional impact caused by a pet being stolen and would help build a better picture of the scale of the problem. royal mail has failed to hit its spring delivery targets with less than 80% of first class post being delivered on time between april and june, according to ofcom. royal mail says delivering a high quality of service �*continues to be a top priority�* and the company would implement �*steady changes�* to its operations. somerset house in central london will reopen to the public today after it was damaged by fire last weekend. more than a hundred firefighters

respondent to the incident. the building is home to several priceless works of art, including some by van gogh. the cause of the fire is still being investigated. the government will hold talks with the heads of major energy suppliers next week, to discuss how best to support people struggling with their bills. the average household�*s yearly bill will rise by 10% from october, after the regulator ofgem increased the price cap. let�*s speak to our political correspondent georgia roberts. georgia, what could we expect to come of this meeting? this is a hot topic for households and for the government. what can we expect from this meeting? i think it is a sign of the pressure the government are coming under, the fact that they have called this meeting with top energy companies next week to discuss further support that they can offer to households this winter, particularly when it comes to energy debt.

i�*m told that could build on the voluntary commitment last year develop asthma delivered by ofgem and others. labour know they are coming under pressure in light of the decision to cut winter fuel allowance for millions of pensioners who are not on a pension credit. the newspapers this morning are full of charities and a lot more labour voices worried about the pressure, in particular this will put on pensioners who arejust in particular this will put on pensioners who are just above the threshold for pension credit. the conservatives, they are seeking to put pressure on this. they call for a debate on winter fuel payments when parliament returns. it looks likely that the chancellor will come under some widespread pressure to rethink this policy perhaps by extending some financial support programmes for people but for now the government are focused on making sure that everybody who can claim the winter fuel allowance is able to do so. thank you. robert f kennedy has appeared

on stage with donald trump after abandoning his own independent bid for the white house, and throwing his support behind the former president. after introducing mr kennedy at a rally in arizona, mr trump promised to release all documents pertaining to the assassination of his uncle, the democrat presidentjohn f kennedy. i am announcing tonight that upon my election i will establish a new independent presidential commission on assassination attempts. and they will be tasked with releasing all of the remaining documents pertaining to the assassination of president john f kennedy. many of us aren�*t too keen on getting up close and personal with insects, but one professional photographer has made it his life�*s work. take a look at these photos taken byjimmy reid. he photographs a range of bugs at very, very close range — like this yellowjacket wasp.

good morning charlie and rachel, and good morning to you at home. storm lillian brought us some very strong gusting winds yesterday, up to 70 miles an hour. but has cleared away now but it has been a rather wet and windy night, in fact, there is still a lot of rain across many parts of england at the moment, through south wales as well, a bit of a contrasting start further north, and in the west where we have got some brightness and some sunshine. we will take a look at the best of the weekend, the bank holiday weekend of course for some of us, not all of us in scotland. there is some rain around for some of us at times but are gradually improving picture as we go into the bank holiday monday. let's take a look at what is happening this morning. here is all that rain, mostly across southern england, stretching up to lincolnshire and yorkshire is well, and affecting southeastern wales. that will clear north and east as we go through the rest of the morning, but some heavy downpours of rain, especially parts of southeast

england, east anglia, through to sx, perhaps, heavy rain possibly leading to localised flooding, it has been driver much of august, welcome rain for some of those gardens. sunny spells and thundery showers following on behind, but those all should have gone by the time we get to the middle part of the afternoon. elsewhere, across the ratchet —— rest of the uk, sunny spells and showers, still windy for this time of year, not as windy as this time yesterday. most of the showers out to northern and western areas of scotland. although this time of year and these temperatures are below the season's coverage. all going to lead onto what will be quite chilly night tonight, they will be clear spells, a few showers around, especially towards the north and the west, which is dropping back into high single figures, it will not be much like late august as we start off tomorrow, and yes, there is more rain on the way. this time the focus of the heaviest downpours of rain will be across northern ireland, through northwest england, up

through northwest england, up through southwest scotland. just when we don't need it, where we see some very wet days recently. for much of england and wales, and much drier story. still breezy for this time of year, but lots of dry weather here with sunny spells, and temperatures beginning to rise a little as well. so as we head up to scotland, scattering showers but also sunny spells. late into monday, we will see high pressure starting to build in from the south, it is a better looking day across the board, they will still be some showers to they will still be some showers to the north and the west, areas of cloud elsewhere, still rather breezy, but sunny spells and temperatures back now to average. that is the forecast, rachel. the number of young people in the uk not in education, employment or training — sometimes called neet — has risen in the past year, according the latest 0ns figures. data published this week shows more than 870,000 16 to 2a year—olds in the uk are not working or studying. that's a rise of 7a,000 compared to last year. it means around 12% of young people in the uk are not currently

earning or learning. today, the youth futures foundation — which aims to reduce youth unemployment in england — has published a report looking at employment and education. of the 2,500 young people they surveyed, more than 40% said a lack of skills or training was the biggest barrier to entering the workforce. 0ur education correspondent elaine dunkley has been speaking to young people about their experiences. this is the warren centre in hull, a place where young people who feel alone can come together. what place where young people who feel alone can come together. what have been some of— alone can come together. what have been some of the _ alone can come together. what have been some of the challenges? - alone can come together. what have been some of the challenges? i - alone can come together. what have been some of the challenges? i met| been some of the challenges? i met 5 ler. been some of the challenges? i met skyler- like — been some of the challenges? i met skyler. like many— been some of the challenges? i met skyler. like many who _ been some of the challenges? i met skyler. like many who have - been some of the challenges? i met skyler. like many who have come here, showers classed as neet, not in education, employment or training. in education, employment or trainina. ~ , .,, in education, employment or trainina. ~ , ., ., training. when people go into care ou aet training. when people go into care you get bullied _ training. when people go into care you get bullied and _ training. when people go into care you get bullied and people - training. when people go into care you get bullied and people think . training. when people go into care you get bullied and people think it| you get bullied and people think it is like your fault.—

in the number of older workers doing apprenticeships, and it is not that thatis apprenticeships, and it is not that that is necessarily bad, it is just that is necessarily bad, it is just that actually what that is meaning is that we are seeing less young people doing apprenticeships. so i think we really need to see a change in that system to prioritise young people and especially prioritise young people who need that opportunity to earn and learn, which is a great way to do it. it is opportunity to earn and learn, which is a great way to do it.— is a great way to do it. it is quite important _ is a great way to do it. it is quite important to _ is a great way to do it. it is quite important to concentrate - is a great way to do it. it is quite important to concentrate on i is a great way to do it. it is quite i important to concentrate on success stories, isn't it? to prove you do not have to get stuck in place, that you can change. other stories, without names obviously, that you can give us a sense of, people who have progressed, who have come from one place and gone to another? yes. one place and gone to another? yes, there are a — one place and gone to another? yes, there are a number _ one place and gone to another? yes, there are a number of _ one place and gone to another? yes, there are a number of fantastic stories— there are a number of fantastic stories we _ there are a number of fantastic stories we won't have time to go through— stories we won't have time to go through today, but our pathways for all programme buckle that focuses on the transition programme for young learners. _ the transition programme for young learners, that is at an 88% success rate in— learners, that is at an 88% success rate in young people. that learners, that is at an 88% success rate in young people.— rate in young people. that means someone has _ rate in young people. that means someone has come _ rate in young people. that means someone has come to _ rate in young people. that means someone has come to you, i rate in young people. that means someone has come to you, within rate in young people. that means i someone has come to you, within that age group, who are not in education,

we didn't have any doubts. yeah. absolutely delighted that he is back. manchester united travel to brighton for the lunchtime kick off, with manager erik ten hag facing a decision whether to include jadon sancho. the england internationalfell out of favour last season but the united boss isn't ruling out bringng sancho back into the team amid reports of a possible move to italian giantsjuventus. i think as a squad we have to reflect on that situation. there are things that are going to happen this season, 100%, and we have to deal with it, because that player, can make the difference. we have players in the squad who are all capable of playing in the first 11 or at least playing in the first 15, so then you have playtime in every game.

a manhunt is under way after three people are killed and five seriously injured in a knife attack at a festival in germany. initial findings of the investigation into the sinking of a superyatch in sicily are expected to be released this morning. england are closing in on victory against sri lanka. things are looking good for them — and theirfans — heading into day four of the first test at old trafford. we speak to strictly�*s amy dowden about her decision to let cameras follow her cancer treatment — and the backlash that followed. i didn't even know what my outcome was, so for people to be like messaging like that, i already found it hard even to look in the mirror. and storm lilian has now cleared away, but it's still a wet and a windy start to the day for many of us, but an improving picture later. join me for the full forecast. good morning, it's

saturday, august 24. the presenter and football pundit, jermainejenas, says he feels deeply ashamed, after he was sacked by the bbc for sending inappropriate messages to female colleagues. in an interview with the sun newspaper, the former footballer apologises to the women for making them feel uncomfortable — and to his wife. the former footballer was considered by some to be a rising star on the one show and match of the day. our correspondent, graham satchell, reports. jermainejenas leaving his home in hertfordshire to give an interview to the sun newspaper. in it, he admits sending inappropriate texts, denies being a sex pest, and says he's ashamed. firstly to say sorry, um, to my wife, to my... you know, to my family, um, to the women involved, as well, and what i've, um, put...put them through. we've had a host of massive stars on the show, and tonight is no different. jenas, who says he was sacked by the bbc on monday, now acknowledges he has a problem — a self—destructive streak

for which he says he's getting help. he says part of the reason he's speaking publicly is to correct rumours on social media. there is nothing illegal that has happened here. um... this is consenting adults that messaged each other. now...this is completely on me. um... i am 100% in the wrong, and i accept full responsibility for that. and it's something that obviously i need to address and look at myself. jermainejenas was a midfielder who played for newcastle, spurs and england. a different approach to the game. he moved to punditry on shows like match of the day, earning close to £200,000 a year. he now says he feels like he's lost everything. the family situation is the thing that's at first — is at the forefront of my mind, that i'm trying to just piece back together. but i've also got to be able to kind of look myself in the mirror and understand where i've gone wrong, and understand

that this is on me — it's not on anybody else, there's nobody else to blame here. jenas says he's still considering suing the bbc for the way it handled his sacking, but he's been dropped by his agent, and talksport — where he also worked — have said there are no plans for him to present in the immediate future. it is a dramatic fall from grace for a star who many considered had a bright future. graham satchell, bbc news. we have had no response this morning from the bbc, but i think there we have had no response this morning from the bbc, but i think there will be released at the top of the corporation, mainly because they were so heavily criticised for how they handle the hu edwards affair, which did drag on and on. with jermainejenas the which did drag on and on. with jermaine jenas the allegations which did drag on and on. with jermainejenas the allegations were made a few weeks ago, there is due process and he says he was sacked on monday. this is a candid and apologetic mea culpa, if you like,

from jermainejenas in this from jermaine jenas in this interview from jermainejenas in this interview this morning. i think part of the reason he has given it is to quash rumours on social media comparing him with huw edwards, who you will remember admitted possessing indecent images of children. to arrange genius is that this is nothing like that, that it is inappropriate to accept between what she described as consenting adults and nothing more. ithink jermainejenas knows he is in the fight for two of his life for his career and his relationship with his wife. police in germany police are searching for an attacker who fatally stabbed three people in the western city of solingen. five others were seriously wounded. witnesses have reported that a man stabbed passers—by at random during a festival to mark the anniversary of the city's founding.

the motive for the attack is still not clear. our reporter, jack surfleet, has the details. a warning, this report contains flashing images. an evening of celebration that ended in despair. shortly before 10:00, as crowds gathered at a street festival in downtown solingen, police say an unknown perpetrator attacked several people with a knife, before fleeing the scene. solingen is a city in western germany, around 18 miles west of dusseldorf. thousands were on the streets celebrating its history when this tragic event unfolded. people were like running away from the scene. many were very calm, but so we hadn't we didn't had a panic, but, um, it was shocking. and everybody who had to see that, i can't imagine what that is like. the incident prompted a huge initial response from emergency services, with armed officers attending

the scene, medical workers treating victims in the streets, and the reported deployment of 40 tactical vehicles to help with the search for the attacker. a cordon remained in place overnight as officers tried to piece together the events of the evening, their search for the suspect is ongoing. translation: we would - like to have a precise description of the perpetrator. that is difficult. witnesses are in shock or can't speak at the moment. they are all being looked after. we have to put everything together like a jigsaw puzzle, so that we can now expand our search activities and look for the perpetrator. reactions so far have been sombre. the city's mayor posted on social media that people are in shock, eyes for those who have died. this latest incident comes just after a week since the german interior minister called for tougher measures on knife crime.

last night's attack is likely to only amplify that call, as a city grieves for those it has lost. jack surfleet, bbc news. let's speak to our correspondent, damien mcguinness, who's in berlin this morning. damian, what's the latest on the search for the attacker? police are still looking for the perpetrator. it is a large operation, much of the city centre is cordoned off, and armed police are trying to find this attacker. the police have updated casualty figures this morning, saying that eight people are injured, five of them seriously. three people died. that is two men and one women. what we know so far is that the perpetrator appears to have attacked

people apparently at random, but aiming fortheir people apparently at random, but aiming for their throats, so police say this was a brutal attack. the whole town is really in shock. what happen last night around 9:40pm the attacker started attacking people in the crowd who were there for the street festival to celebrate the anniversary of the city. it was in the market square in the city. then the market square in the city. then the organiser of the festival ask the organiser of the festival ask the dj to carry on playing for another 15 minutes so that mass panic would not break out. it was only a quarter of an l after the attack but the music stopped and police asked people to leave quietly, because the organisers felt it was really important not to create a mass panic which would have created more injuries. but it was in the chaos just after the attack that the chaos just after the attack that the perpetrator managed to escape. the police are right now saying

there is no indication anyone else was involved or he had accomplices, or he is dangerous, but they cannot rule out any danger either, so they are telling people to be careful until the perpetrator is found. prosecutors in sicily are expected to outline the initial findings of their investigation into the sinking of british superyacht, the bayesian, later this morning. seven people died when the vessel went down during a storm off the coast of the island on monday. those killed included the british tech entrepreneur, mike lynch, and his daughter hannah. our correspondent, jessica parker, reports. smiling and happy. mike lynch, a man who'd carved out a highly successful career in tech, his arm around his 18—year—old daughter, hannah. in tributes today, he was described as a caring man with a brilliant mind, she as ferociously intelligent, warm and kind. hersister, esme, said hannah was "endlessly caring, supportive and joyful". "my little angel, she said.

"my star." what's believed to be her body was the last to be brought ashore after divers spent days exploring the yacht�*s wreckage just outside porticello harbour. the bayesian is lying on the sea bed, 50m deep. it went down during a violent storm in the early hours of monday morning. this 3d model shows the yacht�*s design. here you can see the master suite, guest quarters, and crew quarters — with rooms connected to the upper deck by a staircase. why couldn't some escape? key to investigations will be this man — james cutfield, the captain. translation: in italy, - we have the crime of causing a shipwreck, and it will need to be determined whether the captain and crew played a role in this. additionally, they will investigate whether the crime of manslaughter might apply — particularly if there is evidence of negligent behaviour by the captain or his crew. guests had been celebrating mike lynch's acquittal on fraud charges.

out of 22 passengers and crew, seven lost their lives. mike and hannah lynch, the morgan stanley boss jonathan bloomer and his wifejudy, lawyer chris morvillo and his wife neda, and the boat's chef, recaldo thomas. but the youngest was hannah. as her school flew its flag at half mast, one classmate said, "when i think of hannah, i think of poetry, sunshine, and her beautiful eyes. " jessica parker, bbc news, in porticello. our correspondent, bethany bell, is in porticello, where she sent us well, this will be the first time we'll have heard from prosecutors in this case. now, it should be stressed this investigation is in extremely early stages. it's an investigation what in italy here is called an investigation against unknown persons. and this allows the investigator to gather as much evidence and material as possible to see if they will eventually

press charges of one sort or another against people. now, it should be also said that there is no formal investigation against any particular individual at this time. now, there are a lot of questions about how the superyacht went under, the speed at which it went under. were some measures, were there errors? were there measures that could have been taken to prevent that happening? we are expecting a press conference around 9am. we will bring you any details as they come in. the body set up to provide compensation to victims of the infected blood scandal has been given the power to start making payments. 3000 people died and 30,000 others were infected with hiv and hepatitis c in what has been called the worst treatment disaster in the history of the nhs. the infected blood compensation authority is expected to make the first payments to those infected at the end of the year. the republican presidential nominee,

donald trump, has beenjoined on stage at a campaign rally by robert f kennedy, who's abandoned his attempt to run as an independent candidate in november's election and endorsed the former president. our north america correspondent, david willis, reports. leaving chicago after accepting her party's nomination for president. the question to kamala harris was, what's next? whether she wins or not, she is certainly on a roll. polls put kamala harris neck and neck with donald trump, and as she and husband doug returned to washington came news her campaign had raised a record, breaking half $1 billion in the space of a month. but this is a roller

coaster of an election and barely had the democratic candidate touched down, when the campaign had been infused with a new dose of uncertainty. robert f kennedy, a scion of one of america's most famous democratic political dynasties, announced he was suspending his independent run for office and endorsing her rival, donald trump. it's with a sense of victory and not defeat that i am suspending my campaign activities. but donald trump believes rfk, as he's known, can fire up his flagging campaign. and at a rally in the swing state of arizona, he invoked the memory of mr kennedy's famous father and uncle as he welcomed him onto the stage. and i know that they are looking down right now, and they are very, very proud of bobby. john and robert kennedy were both assassinated amid a period of political turbulence

in the 1960s, and last month donald trump was also the subject of an attack on his life. if elected, he said, he would establish an independent commission to look into the death ofjohn f kennedy. but robert kennedy's announcement has infuriated members of his family, and a statement signed by five of his siblings reads, "our brother bobby's decision to endorse trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear. it's a sad ending to a sad story." ssupport for robert f kennedy had fallen sharply following kamala harris's entry into the race, so it's unclear what effect, if any, his endorsement of donald trump will have. but in a race as tight as this one, even a few thousand votes either way could determine who wins the race for the white house. david willis, bbc news, washington. here's elizabeth with the weather.

great for a day out in certain areas of south—eastern england. sunny spells and showers follow on behind, possibly a rumble or two off on there. elsewhere, sunny spells and showers, most of them out towards the north—west of scotland. blustery and cool, temperatures below the seasonal average. tonight is going to feel really quite chilly for the time of year. the skies will clear anti—love the cloud will fade away. most of our temperatures dropping back into high single figures. a cooler start to the day on sunday, more rain to come in at the forecast. this time the forecast of the rain will again be across south—west scotland, north—west england, some more rain for northern ireland. more rain within this area, northern scotland a bit drier, sunny spells and scattered showers, but it

is looking right across england and wales tomorrow. some sunny spells and temperature is still a little below par but starting to rise a bit. we still have quite a fresh westerly, south—westerly wind as well. generally an improving picture for most of us and settle proven further into bank holiday monday. not a bank holiday in scotland of course, here you can see more showers out towards the north and west and across northern ireland as well. but for the rest of us it is looking a lot drier. temperatures will rise back up to more or less the average for the time of year, high teens and low 20s in celsius. through the course of next week, temperatures will be rising, but always colder and wetter further north and west. if you are deaf, having access to a british sign language

interpreter can be crucial, especially when trying to use the nhs. but a bbc investigation has found support for deaf patients in the health service is failing to meet the standards required bylaw in some areas of england. one in three adults in the uk are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus. in 2016, the accessible information standard was introduced in england, which gave all people with a sensory loss, impairment or disability the legal right to have their medical access needs met in a way that worked for them. but a freedom of information request has revealed this is not always the case. 202 nhs trusts were contacted in england and 145 responded. in the worse performing trust, just under a quarter of bsl interpreter requests were fulfilled — and only two trusts had full time interpreters. we're joined now by people who have experienced this first hand — kate boddy and drjustine durno, alongside bsl interpreters linda bruce and ray williams.

welcome to everyone. doctorjustine, do you want to explain a little bit about how this works in practice? were the problems lie? because it is something you deal with your practice. it something you deal with your ractice. , . ,, practice. it is a system issue. some --eole practice. it is a system issue. some people think _ practice. it is a system issue. some people think it _ practice. it is a system issue. some people think it is _ practice. it is a system issue. some people think it is only _ practice. it is a system issue. some people think it is only a _ practice. it is a system issue. some people think it is only a small- people think it is only a small amount of people who are affected, but it only 9 million estimated in the uk and england. —— it is over 9 million. there are lots of people who contribute to this and are affected by all the barriers put up. they become at the bottom of the priority list. the nhs is a bit outdated. for example, they heavily rely on telephone calls. they often

found the patient with test results, but that person can pick up the phone and speak or hear those results. or they might send a letter with the contact details, again only a telephone number, so expecting that deaf person to rain. 50 every step of the process they are always facing different barriers. it is a recurring theme of misdiagnosis, light treatment, low standards of treatment. 50 there is a wealth of information out there online, but this information is not accessible for deaf people, so it means that they can't understand what the conditions are. so that deaf person has a higher rate of things probably like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, more diabetes. but they are not sort of thinking about those people, thinking about their healthy lives. 50 it is a big cost to that

deaf person, and also could be life or death situations. it is estimated the cost is 30 million to the nhs through missed appointments and wrong through missed appointments and wron: . y ., through missed appointments and wron. . ., �*, through missed appointments and wron ., ., �*, , through missed appointments and wron ., ., �*, wrong kate, your dad's case is a very good _ wrong kate, your dad's case is a very good example _ wrong kate, your dad's case is a very good example of _ wrong kate, your dad's case is a very good example of what i wrong kate, your dad's case is a | very good example of what justin wrong kate, your dad's case is a i very good example of what justin has very good example of whatjustin has been describing there. he was quite a trailblazer in at the deaf community, wasn't he? he a trailblazer in at the deaf community, wasn't he? a trailblazer in at the deaf communi , wasn't he? ., , community, wasn't he? he was. i melt when i talk about _ community, wasn't he? he was. i melt when i talk about my _ community, wasn't he? he was. i melt when i talk about my father _ community, wasn't he? he was. i melt when i talk about my father because i when i talk about my father because he is such— when i talk about my father because he is such a — when i talk about my father because he is such a lovely guy. he was born profoundly— he is such a lovely guy. he was born profoundly deaf. that was his main and preferred method of communication. he couldn't read or write _ communication. he couldn't read or write english very well, but this ism _ write english very well, but this is... despite this he was an aircraft _ is... despite this he was an aircraft technician for 45 years, he was a _ aircraft technician for 45 years, he was a teacher and an advocate for deaf people. was a teacher and an advocate for deaf people-— was a teacher and an advocate for deaf --eole. ~ . , ., deaf people. what is he doing there? havin: fun deaf people. what is he doing there? having fun with _ deaf people. what is he doing there? having fun with the _ deaf people. what is he doing there? having fun with the grandchildren, i having fun with the grandchildren, which _

needs an interpreter. but on a one—on—one basis i can communicate quite well. so there are a lot of assumptions about what i can or cannot do and what i can cope with. i should not be that you had to move to fit the needs of the nhs, the nhs should be moving to you. i can see it is probably exhausting having to constantly come up against these obstacles. i guess in recognition of your wonderful dad you would love to see gnarled people really take this on and implement change. we have been fighting _ on and implement change. we have been fighting for— on and implement change. we have been fighting for this _ on and implement change. we have been fighting for this for _ on and implement change. we have been fighting for this for years, - been fighting for this for years, and that— been fighting for this for years, and that has been lots of consultations with hospitals and health _ consultations with hospitals and health care providers. we have relayed — health care providers. we have relayed the issues that the difficulty is having but there seems to be _ difficulty is having but there seems to be no— difficulty is having but there seems to be no real change so i'm hoping this news— to be no real change so i'm hoping this news coverage will make that change _ this news coverage will make that chance. ~ ., ., this news coverage will make that chance. . ., ., this news coverage will make that chance. ~ ., ., ~ this news coverage will make that chance. ., ., ~ ., this news coverage will make that chance. ., ., ~ change. what would you like to see? i su ose change. what would you like to see? i sunpose the — change. what would you like to see?

i was third man out the door. i remember looking up, seeing what i thought was an open parachute. and then as i looked at the ground, i hit it. it was roughly 12 seconds. 12 seconds from 1,000 feet. he was airlifted to hospital with life—changing spinal injuries, operated on, left with no sensation or movement from the waist down, and told he would never walk again. one day, i had a home. i had a job. i had a purpose. i woke up the next day. i've lost my home, i've lost myjob, and i lost my purpose. but that's not the stuff films are made of. this is. since my accident, people have been telling me i can't do stuff, and i want to prove them wrong. ben's partner evie put him in touch with ed jackson, a former professional rugby player

and founder of the charity millimetres to mountains. ben is an ex—paratrooper on the same journey as me. he'sjoining me on the most dangerous climb either of us have ever done. both with spinal injuries, bonded by a similar experience. they climbed a 7,000 metre high mountain in nepal, setting offjust two days after evie discovered she was pregnant with their first child. that trip changed his life, - i think changed his mentality, changed the way that he felt - about himself and saw himself having someone to talk to who's been - through the same things that i can only relate so much. but because ed had been through the same thing, | they were able to talk to each other, and i think that- made ben accept himself. so i saw a massive change in him when he got home. and through the charity,

ben is now helping others to walk, climb, and change their lives. how are you finding this terrain, ben? does that answer your question? and when people watch the film, and what do you hope that they'll take away from it? i always say to people, before that, before my accident was, i'm scared of dying because i'm scared of being forgotten or not being able to do the things i do. but since that trip, it has changed my mindset. it's not the scared of dying, it's the not living. it's not doing those things that you want to do or love doing. their daughter has no idea what her dad's achieved, but when she finds out, my goodness, is she going to be proud. that was amelia reynolds reporting. last year, strictly come dancing's amy dowden was diagnosed with breast cancer, afterfinding a lump the night before her honeymoon. after months of treatment, she is now back on the dancefloor and in training for the new series. amy decided she wanted to share her experiences

over the last 15 months in a new documentary, in the hope of helping others understand the reality of cancer at a young age. let's take a look. look at this one. look at the top one. it's been so many times sharing my story where i have wished i didn't. people were, like, writing to me saying, "you're such a narcissist." "look at me. the biggest attention seeker ever." "who else would dance in a garden whilst having to cut their hair off?" at the time, i'd already felt like i had my whole everything about me stripped away, my identity. and of course i would have done anything in the world to actually be not dancing in my friend's garden, about to hate my hair, but to be dancing with my best

friends on strictly. and then people write to me going, "you're not even stage four." i'm like, that's really, you, know, it's so bad. it is. i didn't even know what my outcome was. so for people to be like messaging like that, i already felt hard to even look in the mirror. amy dowden joins us now. you look amazing, your hair looks incredible, and i know that is quite a big future of the documentary. how are you today?— are you today? good morning. i am really well. — are you today? good morning. i am really well, thank _ are you today? good morning. i am really well, thank you. _ are you today? good morning. i am really well, thank you. excellent. . really well, thank you. excellent. that clip from — really well, thank you. excellent. that clip from the _ really well, thank you. excellent. that clip from the documentary l really well, thank you. excellent. | that clip from the documentary is really well, thank you. excellent. . that clip from the documentary is an important thing which we will talk about, but it does not tell the full story of what this documentary is all about, which is an unbelievably raw and emotionally honest record of yourjourney. almost right from the start, you're invited cameras, and i just think that was an incredible thing to do. why did you take that decision? ., ~ , ., ., ., ., ,

reaction. it is notjust you, it is the people closest to you, your husband, your parents, it is very tough on all of you, and the way they support you has been incredible. what was it like opening that up to the wider world? obviously they found it tough because they were dealing with so many emotions themselves, and i guess they just wanted many emotions themselves, and i guess theyjust wanted to protect me, i guess they knew how important the message is to me to raise awareness, but i am so lucky to have the best family and friends, i am really not sure i would have got through the last 16 months without them, they really did keep me going, and they did everything possible, and they did everything possible, and of course the care i received, the oncology nurses, the team, everybody, they are just real heroes, they really are. they may, aood heroes, they really are. they may, good morning. _ heroes, they really are. they may, good morning. it — heroes, they really are. they may, good morning, it is _ heroes, they really are. they may, good morning, it is charlie - heroes, they really are. they may, good morning, it is charlie here i heroes, they really are. they may,

strictly amy — cancer and me will be on bbc one at 8.00 on monday, and on iplayer straight after. time for all the sport news now. it was a day to remember forjamie smith, with his maiden test century helping england move towards victory against sri lanka. the tourists closed on 2011—6 in their second innings, only 82 runs ahead, asjoe wilson reports.

the bat is straight and true. the batter, calm, composed, already recognisable as jamie smith, and his hundred led england. but no mention of their first innings would be complete without a reference to a crowd catch that set the barfor technique, daring, and drink preservation. mark wood's six — that hand. so well with so little spilt. anyway, sri lanka's second innings began horribly, but it was revived significantly by angelo mathews and kamindu mendis, a partnership to keep england wondering and working, and needing a couple of late catches to regain the upper hand. sri lanka are 82 runs ahead, but they are six wickets down. well, sri lanka will resume,

still battling in their second innings, still building a lead. but injamie smith, england may well feel they have a match winner, notjust for here and now, but for years to come. joe wilson, bbc news, old trafford. at the halfway stage of the women's open golf at st andrews, england's charley hull is three shots off the lead. last year's runner—up birdied three of her last five holes after a poor start. she carded a 72 to put her in a tie for second at five—under—par with defending champion lilia vu. they trail world number one nelly korda who leads the way at 8—under. i was really enjoying myself, i had a great group, that is fun to play in these conditions, so you just have to make the most of it. i everything about this tournament, there is also a lock of the draw, there is also a lock of the draw, the weather that you get on bouncers that you get, so there is a little

bit of luck involved in it, but there is also so much fun in the creative side to it links golf, and i am really enjoying it this week. a frustrating day for rory mcilroy at the pga tour's bmw championship. the world number three shot a one—under 71 in round two which wasn't without incident. after a wayward tee—shot on 17, mcilroy threw his driver into the water. he'll start today's third round 10 shots off—the—pace set by australia's adam scott who carded a brilliant 63 for a three shot lead at 13—under. leeds united have their first win of the championship season, daniel farke's side winning 2—0 against yorkshire rivals sheffield wednesday at hillsbrough. brendan aaronsen gave them a first—half lead before danjames sprinted clear to add a second after the break. having started the season drawing their first two games, this a welcome victory.

seven games in the premier league this afternoon, and ilkay gundogan could make his second manchester city debut. the former club captain has completed his return from barcelona on an initial one—year deal and city have been given international clearance to field the midfielder in their first home game of the season against newly promoted ipswich town. we know him quite well, me personally, but the staff and the players and everyone and we know, the quality that he played last season in barcelona, like he played a high, high level and consistency and producing a lot. we didn't have any doubts, but the possibility was open, and yeah, absolutely delighted he's back. manchester united travel to brighton for the lunchtime kick—off, with manager erik ten hag facing a decision whether to include jadon sancho. the england internationalfell out of favour last season but the united boss isn't ruling out bringng sancho back into the team amid reports

of a possible move to italian giantsjuventus. i think as a squad we have to reflect on that situation. things are going to happen this season, 100%, and we have to deal with that, because that player in the end can make a difference. we have players in the squad who are all capable of playing in the first 11 or at least in the first 15. in the scottish premiership, top of the table celtic travel to st mirren tomorrow. meanwhile, rangers boss phillipe clement is hopeful his side will be able return to ibrox after today's match against ross county. they've played their first three home games at hampden park because of the delayed refurbishment to the club's copland stand. i cannot give guarantees about the ibrox situation. i can only say that, for the moment, things are going in a positive way. the the club is happy how things are evolving now, and everybody

is doing efforts day and night to get us as fast as possible back at ibrox. mercedes look to have picked up from where they left off after formula one's summer break by claiming two of the top three places in practice ahead of the dutch grand prix. george russell was disqualified after finishing first last time out in belgium. the briton was back on top in zandvoort, though, beating the mclaren of oscar piastri byjust six hundredths of a second. his mercedes teammate lewis hamilton, who inherited that win in spa, was third quickest as they look to continue their recent good form. championship leader max verstappen was fifth. qualifying gets underway at 2.00. really difficult out there because it was so, so windy. probably the windiest i've remembered in the last couple of years, but the car was performing really well. got the upgrades on, which seemed to be working as expected, and it looks like it's quite a close battle with

the mclarens, with max. emma raducanu says she's looking forward to her return to the us open, which starts on monday. following her fairytale win in 2021, she lost in the first round the following year, and was absent last year because of wrist and ankle surgeries. the 21—year—old faces a potentially tricky first round match against former australian open champion sofia kenin, but raducanu's relishing the challenge and happy to be back in new york. i feel very proud when i ifeel very proud when i come here, walking past my photo every day and my name on the trophy, i think that is such an epic achievement, so coming back here now, i come back with such a different outlook. joy and proud nuts and it inspires me to want to do more. the men's tennis world number one jannik sinner has been speaking for the first time since it was revealed he failed an anti—doping test in march. the italian was cleared of wrong

doing by a tribunal last week, which found he'd been inadvertently contaminated with a steroid administed by his physiotherapist giacomo naldi. sinner�*s now parted company with him and his fitness trainer umberto ferrara. in my mind, i know that i haven't done anything wrong. i had to play already months with this in my head. but, you know, just remembering myself that i haven't done really, anything wrong. i always respected these rules and i always will respect this rules of of anti—doping. leeds rhinos super league play—off hopes remain alive after a battling win over catalan dragons. they scored three tries as they came

from behind to win at headingley having begun the night four points adift of the playoff places. it's nowjust two. they were 6—0 down at the break but three tries in the second half saw them run out 18—6 winners. denting catalans�* hopes of reaching the top six. meanwhile, warrington secured their playoff place with a 28—6 victory over castleford tigers. and in cycling, wout van aert roared to victory in stage 7 of the vuelta a espana. the belgian rider launched a thrilling late sprint in the final 200m of the race to win. it's his second of the competition. ben o'connor retains his overall lead whilst van aert leads kaden groves by 41 points in the green jersey standings. that race of course continues today. the excitment is building as the paralympic flame is going to be lit in stoke mandeville today to recognise the key role it played in launching the games. it will then begin itsjourney to paris ahead of the opening ceremony on wednesday. also heading over are archers phoebe paterson pine and jodie grinham, who will be 28 weeks pregnant while competing. our reporter nick clitheroe has been speak to them both during training.
