paris prepares for the paralympics. the opening ceremony for the games takes place this evening. water bills are due to rise by an average of £19 a year. but suppliers say that's not enough to tackle sewage spills and secure our future water needs. i'll look at what the regulator might do next. emma raducanu says there are lessons to learn as she loses in the first round of the us open, as dan evans battles through the longest match in the torunament�*s history to reach the second round. good morning. today we are looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers. most of the showers would be in the north and the west. when temperatures quieten down and then come back up again into the weekend. all of the details shortly. it's wednesday, the 28th of august. our main story. doctors are calling

on the government to ban flavoured and disposable vapes to protect children against what they say is a "growing epidemic" in the uk. a bill aimed at restricting the sale and marketing of vapes, especially to children, ran out of time to pass into law under the last government. the british medical association says bold action is needed. here's our health reporter michelle roberts. according to the latest estimates, around 8% of 11 to 17—year—olds vape. although it's already illegal to sell e—cigarettes to anyone under 18, the british medical association says more needs to be done, and quickly, to protect children and young people from a vape epidemic. the bma wants disposable vapes and all flavoured ones to be banned. it's also calling for curbs on how vapes are marketed and sold, similar to cigarettes, with plain packaging and products kept behind the counter. if you're stopping smoking,

you need a tobacco—flavoured vape to just transfer from one to another. there is no need for any of the colourants or any of the flavourings that we see at the moment. we don't want to see them advertised in an open forum. there's no point in having a shiny bubble gum flavour. it'sjust about providing a quick aid. the uk vaping industry association agrees that stronger measures are needed to cut off the supply of youth vaping and illicit products, but it fears bans could lead to people using the black market and harm stop smoking progress. what we'd like to see, and have been campaigning for many years, is to see an introduction of vape licensing for both retailers and wholesalers. that would include things like robust age verification processes, for instance. then also, we need to combine that with increased fines. and we'd like to see, as an industry, minimum fines of £10,000, for instance, for anyone caught selling to a minor. in february, the conservative government introduced a tobacco and vapes bill, which aimed to restrict access for children, but not adult smokers

trying to quit. however, parliament was dissolved for the election before the law could be passed. when labour took over, it announced that it would reintroduce the bill. the government says it's always been clear that children and adult nonsmokers should never vape, and that the tobacco and vapes bill will stop vapes from deliberately being branded and advertised to appeal to children. michele roberts, bbc news. a little late to to a head teacher about the problem of vaping in schools and we will also talk to a doctor. let's see what the rest of the news headlines look like. the prime minister is in berlin to meet with the german chancellor olaf scholz and begin talks on a new co—operation treaty. sir keir starmer says he wants to turn a corner on brexit and "reset" uk

relations with europe. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in berlin. that is quite a statement, isn't it? he seems to have quite a lot of work to do. ~ ., he seems to have quite a lot of work todo. , , to do. morning. absolutely. there is somethina to do. morning. absolutely. there is something general— to do. morning. absolutely. there is something general and _ to do. morning. absolutely. there is something general and something . something general and something specific the prime minister wants to achieve in his meeting with the german chancellor olaf scholz today. it is about continuing to change the mood. the prime minister is using that reset word again whenever he has met a european leader over the past few weeks. he says he wants to fix the broken relationships the uk has, he argues, with its european counterparts. something specific as well. today keir starmer and olaf scholz will launch negotiations on a treaty between the uk and germany which they say will cover a

deepening of trade ties commit more defence cooperation and also actions to tackle illegal immigration. but that does not mean unpicking any element of the uk's existing overarching deal with the european union which previous conservative government spent so many years negotiating. i think the question for keir starmer and his government is what more they can achieve in terms of ties with germany while not touching that the overarching deal with europe. they say they want to sign this treaty within six months. we will find that the answer to those questions fairly soon. thank ou. there are currently fewer than 100 spaces left in men's prisons in england and wales — that's according to research by the bbc. yesterday, the prime minister said the government had to "check the precise number of prison places" every day during the recent disorder in parts of the uk. our reporter will vernon has more. it is no secret that britain's

prisons are already overcrowded. government ministers have been warning for some time the number of available cells is dangerously low. but now it is understood there are fewer than 100 spaces left for male inmates in england and wales. that could mean big trouble ahead for the entire justice system. what could mean big trouble ahead for the entire justice system.— entire 'ustice system. what that will entire justice system. what that will result in _ entire justice system. what that will result in the _ entire justice system. what that will result in the police - entire justice system. what that will result in the police and - entire justice system. what that | will result in the police and wider justice system potentially to a halt. the police bills will have nowhere planned to transfer prisoners they detain into our custody because there will be no space. figs custody because there will be no sace. �* , ., custody because there will be no sace. m ., .,, custody because there will be no sace. a ., custody because there will be no sace. m ., ., . space. as of last friday, the total rison space. as of last friday, the total prison population _ space. as of last friday, the total prison population in _ space. as of last friday, the total prison population in england - space. as of last friday, the total prison population in england and| prison population in england and wales was 88,2311. that is the highest end of week total for at least 13 years. compare that to the figure from 2019 and we can see numbers grew by over 5000 in just

five years. last week, the government activated a contingency plan, operation early dawn. defendants are only brought to court when a prison place is available as they can be held longer. riots in cities led to further arrests, putting further strain on the system. more than 400 people were sent to prison. summerfestivals added to the burden. 349 people were arrested at the notting hill carnival. bank holiday weekend meant fewer people were released from prison as well. there is nervousness in the government about the chronic shortage of available cells in england and wales. sources working inside the prison system have told the bbc more people are due to be released in the coming days, which should relieve some of the pressure. the other room will be created in two weeks' time when a government scheme kicks in releasing some

inmates early. the message from keir starmer yesterday, we had no choice. i didn't want to release prisoners early. i was chief prosecutor for five years. it goes against the grain of everything i have ever done. to be blunt, if we hadn't taken the difficult decision immediately, we wouldn't have been able to respond to the riots as we did. ., , able to respond to the riots as we did. , ., ~ able to respond to the riots as we did. ., ~ , did. those working in the prison sector have _ did. those working in the prison sector have warned _ did. those working in the prison sector have warned successive l sector have warned successive governments that space is running out and that it will take much more radical reform to solve the crisis. the amount of cannabis seized from suitcases at uk airports has tripled in less than a year, according to the national crime agency. around 15 tonnes of the drug has been uncovered so far in 2024. officials say overproduction of the drug in countries where it has been legalised may be behind the rise. energy suppliers will be urged to help households struggling with their bills when company bosses meet with the government later today.

the energy consumers minister called the summit following the increase to the energy price cap last week. our political correspondent iain watson joins us now. morning. iain, what do we know about this meeting? what can be done? quite a lot needs to be done- — what can be done? quite a lot needs to be done- it _ what can be done? quite a lot needs to be done. it is _ what can be done? quite a lot needs to be done. it is estimated _ to be done. it is estimated 3 million households are in fuel poverty. those prices are set to rise in october. a big job for the consumer affairs minister. she is a newly elected mp, bringing the energy companies around the table this morning. also the citizens' advice bureau. what they have been asked to do is not simply help those consumers who have fallen into debt that try a proactive strategy. politically this is hugely important for the government. they have

attracted a lot of criticism by withdrawing winter fuel payments from around 10 million pensioners. adding to the pressure, there is the committee on fuel poverty, an independent advisory body. a new report is out today and they say there has been no reduction in fuel poverty in the last five years. they are talking about social tariffs, permanently discounted bills for people finding it difficult to pay. that is a big challenge. i am not sure we will get something as radical as that. the government needs to be seen to be acting on behalf of hard—pressed customers. thank you. israeli security forces say they've carried out operations in the north of the occupied west bank. at least ten palestinians have been killed by israeli forces in several towns in the north of the occupied west bank, according to palestinian health officials. fifteen others have been wounded. two men will appear in court today,

charged with murder and attempted murder of a woman and her three young children. 29—year—old bryonie gawith, and her children denisty, oscar, and aubree, died after a fire at their home in bradford last wednesday. donald trump has accused the us department ofjustice of trying to "resurrect a dead witch hunt", after it filed revised charges over his alleged attempts to overturn the result of the 2020 election. government lawyers were forced to reconsider their case, after a landmark supreme court ruling that former presidents have broad immunity from criminal prosecution. the opening ceremony of the paralympic games will take place later in paris. over the next 11 days, more than 4,000 athletes from around the world will compete in 22 sports. for the first time, the ceremony will be held outside a stadium. sally hurst is in the french capitalfor us. morning to you.

sally, what's the atmosphere like there this morning? morning. the sun hasjust morning. the sun has just come morning. the sun hasjust come up in paris. there is a real sense of excitement in paralympics gb. we were talking tojonnie peacock. he said the sense he gets at this moment is similar to how he felt for london 2012. there is a real sense this could be a big moment for the paralympic movement. the sport starts tomorrow. tonight is the opening ceremony. as you mention, they have opted to have a outdoors as they did at the olympic ceremony. they are going to use the paris landmarks as their backdrop. we know the athletes will process along the shone is a lycee to the plas della concord. we went yesterday to have a peek around. couldn't see much. they had the boardings up and the roads closed. they are keeping the details under wraps. around 15,000

spectators are expected to look at what is going on. they are promising as a spectacular show. in terms of the sport, great britain is sending 215 athletes. it is a real mix of super household names he might know, likejonnie peacock, hannah cockroft, also debutants. cockroft, also debuta nts. 113—year—old cockroft, also debutants. 113—year—old swimmer is already a double european champion. people like lottie mcguinness, a power left. she was inspired by london 2012. she saw ellie simmonds in the pool and thought she would have a go at that. she's about to make her debut. uk have set a target of between 100 and 140 medals. sounds a lot but do not forget britain finished second in the medals table for the past two games. i am sure we will have a lot of medal winning moments in the next days. henge

that is really important. compulsory all fans. paris looked absolutely stunning. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. you have some beautiful views. i have a stunning picture of the northern lights. last night but this was in aberdeenshire. we saw northern lights in other parts of the ticket where there were clear skies of the north—east of scotland. they are so beautiful. the forecast todayis they are so beautiful. the forecast today is one of sunshine, especially across the south—east but not exclusively and showers. some heavy showers to come for some others. i'll start to the day if you are stepping out was that these are the temperature 14 to 16 degrees. what is happening? the weatherfront yesterday across parts of england and wales has produced 130

millimetres of rainfall in the lake district, in excess of five inches. also some heavy and thundery moving out of northern ireland and in across western scotland. in between there will be sunshine and at times areas of cloud around. in the south—east it will be dry, sunny and also warm. we could see 27, 28. pressure across the north and west where we are looking at 15 degrees. into the evening and overnight, all of that showers push away to the east. later in the night more showers coming in across western scotland and northern ireland. here as well the breeze will pick up. a fresh start to the day tomorrow than this morning. we are looking at 9013 as an overnight low. tomorrow generally it will be a fresher day. you can see the showers across northern ireland and scotland push east. there will be a lot of dry

weather once again and also some sunshine to look forward to. temperatures 14 to 23 degrees. beyond that, we are looking at temperatures rant about the mid 20s at best. looks like at the weekend it did pick up. looking largely dry for most of us. you it did pick up. looking largely dry for most of us.— for most of us. you say all of the ri . ht for most of us. you say all of the right thinqs- _ all social workers should have mandatory training in how to spot coercive and controlling behaviour — according to the domestic abuse commissioner for england and wales. nicole jacobs made the comments after she was shown evidence from a bbc investigation, which found that social work students may not receive specific training on how to detect this kind of abuse. controlling perpetrators use psychological abuse to isolate and harm their victims. coercive control has been a crime since 2015 and there were nearly 44,000 offences recorded last year. anna collinson reports.

sir keir starmer�*s address from the rose garden at downing street yesterday, is the main story in the telegraph where he said october's budget would be "painful" and the sun follows up on the news of the oasis reunion, with the headline three here now. the paper reports that the band's original guitarist, bonehead, will rejoin noel and liam gallagher for their tour next year. it also says that more gigs will be announced. i love that picture that is doing the rounds. when i saw that yesterday i thought it might have been a composite one where they have not been in the same room at the same time. apparently they were. they do not look that crappy. moody.

—— that happy. as a dog owner, you might feel a sense of pride in getting your pet to sit on command, maybe even a bit smug if you can teach them something more advanced like rolling over. well, jason smawfield—huby and his dog hope have taken their training to the next level and won gold at the dog agility world championships in belgium. our reporter, simon spark, has been to meet them. injune, we saw the preparation. good girl. representing team gb for dog agility in the first ever senior competition held in belgium. it's the first time a competition has been run internationally, specifically for the over 55s and over 65s. jason was in the over 555 category, and hope was in the fluffy, cute small doggy category, with some serious obedience and serious speed needed. but then, the practising was over. run!

i walked into the building. it was absolutely huge. never run my dog in front of so many people before, and the atmosphere was absolutely electric. but, on the start line, you forget about everything else, and it'sjust you and your dog. she was clear in every round, in all four rounds. her worst placing was a third. so, we had a number of silvers and a couple of bronzes. come on! but if hope hoped for a win... stop, stop, stop, stop, stop! yes! come on. ..she got one. come on! yes! i didn't know i'd won the title. i came out, i knew i'd got a clear round, but the noise from, say, my friends on the balcony was absolutely incredible. and i still didn't believe it. i don't cry a lot, but i was absolutely bawling my eyes out. especially when two people came to congratulate me and cuddle me. so now it's our turn to see this

a very good morning from bbc london. i'm alice salfield. a fundraising page has been set up to help people affected by the high—rise fire in dagenham on monday morning. more than 100 people were evacuated from their homes, and some families have lost everything. barking and dagenham council launched the appeal yesterday, and almost £4,000 has been raised so far. the council says it's supporting residents at an emergency rest centre and providing emergency accommodation. a man is due in court later today charged with the murder of bus driver derek thomas in hackney. kamar williams was arrested after being found at notting hill carnival and arrested. the met police had been trying to him in connection with the fatal stabbing in stoke newington last month. transport for london is seeking a possession orderfor a transport for london is seeking a possession order for a spot of land in park lane.

tfl said the spot in the middle of the dual carriageway is 'not a safe place for people to sleep rough', and says its focus is on the welfare of everyone involved. mudlarking along the river thames has become so popular that the port of london authority has stopped giving out new licenses for the foreseeable future. mudlarking is when someone searches the banks of rivers for historical items or those of value. officials say they want to protect the unique historical integrity of the thames foreshore. but some who can't get a license have expressed disappointment. when i said, "so, are you saying that people who've already got licences can keep them in perpetuity, and no—one can ever get a new one?", they cut and paste the same reply. and i phoned a couple of times, and, you know, nobody was interested. itjust strikes me as being very, very unfair. the big half marathon event returns to the capital on sunday, when thousands of runners, joggers and walkers of all ages and abilities take to the streets of parts of london. organisers are advising there will be road closures in greenwich, lewisham, southwark and tower hamlets. let's take a look at the tubes now.

now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is another very mild and bright start to the day. it is going to be a warm day today, perhaps the warmest this week. largely dry with plenty of sunny spells. a bit more cloud this afternoon. there is a cold front slowly moving towards us. any rain i to reach the ground. staying dry. 27, 20 eight celsius. the further east you go, the warmer it is likely to be. overnight that cold front is moving away eastwards. behind it, the air will be slightly fresher. not as warm as last night. minimum temperature 11 to 13 celsius. a bright start tomorrow morning. it is likely fresher start. a better day all in all. plenty of sunshine,

patchy sunshine. largely dry, fine, plenty of sunshine for the rest of the week, damages in the low to mid 20s. correct my temperatures. that's it — back to sally and ben. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. households will see their water bills rise by an average of almost £20 per year over the next five years. but water companies have told the regulator they need to hike charges even more than that. they say the extra money is needed to tackle sewage spills and other problems. all of this has come to light as a consultation on improving the industry closes today. ben is looking into this. it feels like bills are going up regardless? yes, and that there is a tussle between the regulator and the water

companies over how much bills can be allowed to go up. the regulator says an average increase ofjust £19 a year is the limited sites. the water companies want increases of closer to £30 a year. it is all part of this consultation about securing our future water needs. let me explain the details. good morning. the regulator ofwat is currently reviewing the rules it sets for water companies to make sure they provide us with safe water, value for money, and to minimise the impact of sewage and waste water on the environment. injuly, it proposed allowing water companies to increase customer bills by an average of £19 a year over the next five years. that is an increase of about a fifth. but water companies say this isn't enough for them to invest in necessary improvements and upgrades. water uk, that represents suppliers, says without the extra investment, new house—building would

be blocked. the recovery of rivers would be slower, and we could face water shortages. ofwat accepts that £88 billion is needed over the next five years to secure the future of our water systems. five years to secure the future of ourwatersystems. it five years to secure the future of our water systems. it is currently consulting on how to do this and where this is most needed. one major problem is the discharge of sewage into our rivers, lakes and sees. that is at record levels. there were 3.6 million hours of sewage spills last year, more than double the year before. it has led to record fines proposed by ofwat, totalling £168 million. forthames proposed by ofwat, totalling £168 million. for thames water, yorkshire water and northumbrian water. wide ranging consultation has heard from water companies, investors, customer representatives, and campaigners like surfers against sewage. this is what they told us. we don't believe _ this is what they told us. we don't believe we — this is what they told us. we don't believe we will see this change

through— believe we will see this change through this current process. in fact, _ through this current process. in fact, ofwat of champion plans which would _ fact, ofwat of champion plans which would still— fact, ofwat of champion plans which would still allow up to 200,000 spills _ would still allow up to 200,000 spills a — would still allow up to 200,000 spills a year. in 2030, in six years' — spills a year. in 2030, in six years' time. we really need to see a review— years' time. we really need to see a review of— years' time. we really need to see a review of the — years' time. we really need to see a review of the system by the government to actually make sure we have got _ government to actually make sure we have got a _ government to actually make sure we have got a sustainable and fair system — have got a sustainable and fair system which proportions of the costs _ system which proportions of the costs of— system which proportions of the costs of the system fairly and doesn't — costs of the system fairly and doesn't fall on bill payers. the — doesn't fall on bill payers. the consultation closes today, but ofwat�*s final decision will not be published until mid december. the government has told us it is committed to cleaning up the rivers, lakes and see mys. that will include criminal charges against persistent lawbreakers. all of this about securing the supply of something we may not think about day—to—day, but we all rely on. then, thank you. it really important issue. thank you. it is 6:36am. it

isa is a big day in paris. yes, good morning. the paralympics kicks off tonight. huge opening ceremony in paris. they are hoping this will be their london moment in many ways with engagement, reach, a huge amount of interest around the paralympics, of course. a huge amount of medals. especially for paralympic gb, because they did really well in tokyo. second in the medal table. a huge team going out there. they will be hoping to replicate that success last time out. exports are going to come thick and fast. it will be fascinating with the opening ceremony to come. good morning. the opening ceremony for the paralympics kicking off the games tonight, with 50,000 spectators lining the champs elysees. nikki fox is in paris looking ahead to what we can expect. there's a real buzz in the city. paris is getting ready to host its second major sporting event in under a month.

the party continues. it's time for the paralympics. archie! hiya, good to meet you. hello, how are you? archie is so excited, he's already arrived. you are in it for the long haul, you are staying for the whole thing? i'm so excited. i really cannot wait for the games to actually start. we're all in that little bubble that nothing else matters but sport. and i wish it could be like that all the time. but it's paris. it's back with a bang. we're all ready to get started again. someone who's been to more paralympic games than most, as an athlete and a presenter, is tanni grey—thompson. right, tanni, is this going to be the best paralympics of all time? i am so excited about the paris games. i really hope it's going to be the best paralympics of all time. london raised the bar, but i don't want it to be

the best games ever. i want it to be one of the best. but it's really important for the movement, for the athletes, that we keep evolving, and i think france has the potential to do that. we're on the cusp of something really special. do the athletes sit around and eat tarte tatin with a nice, sweet little drizzle there? no. you see, in competing days, you couldn't touch this, so... in the build up to the games, there have been concerns from charities here in france about how the hundreds of thousands of disabled fans will get around the city. money has been spent on making sure all buses and trams are accessible. they'll be more accessible taxis and there'll be shuttle buses taking people to and from the venues. wheelchair racer sammi kinghorn is going to be busy. she's competing in four events this year. yeah, i'm so excited to go in there and just hear that roar. i just want to enjoy this whole experience. and more spectators will get to enjoy the competition, because this year a record number of broadcasters from around the world will be

covering the paralympic games. but sammi wants to see more parasport fought on tv throughout the year. do you think that we are getting closer to sort of equality between the olympics and the paralympics? i think we're getting there with some things. i think there's still obviously a disparity, and there always will be, i think, which is really sad. i'd love to say, oh, i don't think there'll ever be, i think we'll always be equal. and i would love that. um, but it's hard, i think, because we don't have the same sponsorship and the same money, and that's the kind of thing we're fighting for. and i think because we're not on the telly all through the year, people can't relate to us. for the organisers, these games are a real chance to change attitudes. we truly believe that it could be a revolution also for france, because that will be the first time that this country will deliver the paralympic games in our country, and maybe the first time that they will be also confronted to so many people with disability.

the paralympics is a world class, highly competitive event, but it's also an opportunity for disabled people to have their moment in front of a global audience. nikki fox, bbc news. nikki fox in paris looking forward to what we can expect in the days ahead. there was an early exit for emma raducanu overnight, losing in the first round of the us open, the tournament she famously won thee years ago. dan evans is through, and he won't forget this one in a hurry after playing the longest match in us open history. he beat russia's karen khachanov in five hours and 35 minutes. he was 4—0 down in the deciding fifth set, but turned it around, and said he's never played a match like it. i was hurting all over, really. yeah, it was just such... i was hurting all over, really. yeah, it wasjust such... i don't think i've played five hours, that long, in a day ever in two sessions,

never mind in one! i was actually thinking that on the court. i've never practised two hours, two hours. it's normally an hour and a half. british number one jack draper cruised through the first two sets against zhang zhizen of china, winning them 6—3, 6—love. the chinese player had to have a leg strapped and was clearly unable to play to his best ability and eventually called it a day with draperfour love up in the third set also in the women's draw, the british number one katie boulter is through. she beat belarus's aliaksandra sasnovich in three sets to progress to the second round. there were 18 games in the second round of the league cup last night, and and everton were able to forget about their poor premier league form with a 3—0 win against league two's doncaster rovers. the goal of the game was scored by iliman ndiaye — the summer signing from marseille got the second for sean dyche's side, who pick up their first win of the season. fulham also booked their place in the next round with a win

at birmingham city. a rauljiminez penalty and this strike from jay stansfield enough to wrap up a 2—0 win. you can see all last night's results on the bbc sport website. having played for liverpool and manchester city, a possible move from raheem sterling to manchester united will certainly raise some eyebrows. there have been talks between the two clubs. united exploring the possibility of bringing a player with huge experience. liverpool have agreed a deal to sign valencia goalkeeper giorgi mamardashvili, subject to a work permit and international clearance, for a fee believed to be £25 million, plus four million in add ons. now here's a sparkly trophy to add to your cabinet, and one that harry kane was delighted to win on tuesday night as he was given the golden shoe.....

as europe's top goalscorer last season. the england captain scored 36 goals in the top league in germany in his debut season, more than any other player across europe's top divisions. he will be aware, collecting all those trophies for all those goals, that they will eventually lead to a league title. why is it a shoe? golden shoe, golden boot. you know... the award is a boot. thanks. all the best questions. just coming up to quarter to seven. england's blood donor service has warned that stocks are still in short supply a month after issuing what is known as an amber alert. officials said that supplies of blood have improved sincejuly, but there is still a risk that

patient care could be impacted. our health correspondent dominic hughes has been given exclusive access to a blood donor centre in manchester. there you go. you all right? thank you. at manchester's plymouth grove blood donor centre, the latest session isjust beginning. the blood given here saves lives every day, in emergency surgery, in childbirth and planned operations. for those who donate, there's a real sense of satisfaction. you're doing something good for everybody, and it doesn't matter who they are. you never know whose blood, you know, who you're saving and who you're giving your blood to. um, but it's — yeaah, it's a really nice feeling. it'sjust something, you know, i think people should do. it takes half an hour of your day, and it could be a life saver. ifeel like i'm helping people. i think it's a worthwhile thing to do. _ if anybody is thinking of doing it, i would definitely recommend it. | but there's a problem. injuly, the nhs in england issued what's called an amber alert, meaning stocks of 0 type blood,

which can be given to the vast majority of patients, were running low enough to risk affecting patient care. people donating blood is always appreciated, especially at the moment when there's an amber alert, which means stocks are running low. that's only the second time an amber alert has ever been issued. but there's a wider concern as well, because most blood donors tend to be older people. they're over the age of 45. and what the blood donation service really wants is for younger people to start coming forward and keep those donations flowing. so the number of donors and donations needs to increase. so we never know when we might need a new blood. and we're all a potential recipient of blood. we all want to think, and we all expect that that blood is going to be available for us when we need it. and i think that's what's really important. it's kind of giving something into the nhs that you may or may not get back, but if you need it, you would want it to be there. at the manchester centre, we were given exclusive access to the journey that

donated blood takes. first, it's analysed and tested for blood group type and for viruses such as hepatitis. every donation is carefully screened. then, it's processed, split into red blood cells and plasma. with a shelf life of 35 days, blood stocks need to be continually replenished. the blood stored here can end up almost anywhere in the north of england, but today it has a relatively shortjourney. mri, please? across the road to manchester's royal infirmary. on the trauma ward where patients with serious injuries are treated, a regular and dependable supply of blood is vital. so blood can literally be the difference between life and death for some of our patients. the most number of units of blood that i can recall recently is almost 40, and they undoubtedly would not have survived without that blood. that could easily be your own relative, somebody that you know, somebody from your own life. and it's one of the

easiest things to do. and a lot of health care is very, very expensive. and donating a unit of blood only takes time. another patient benefiting from donated blood. 80,000 donor appointments are available between now and the end of october, and the nhs is warning that as we head into autumn, the supply of life saving blood remains worryingly unstable. dominic hughes, bbc news, manchester. 12 minutes to seven. good time to checkin 12 minutes to seven. good time to check in on the weather. good morning, carol. check in on the weather. good mornin: , carol. ., good morning, carol. good morning. althou~h good morning, carol. good morning. although today _ good morning, carol. good morning. although today is _ good morning, carol. good morning. although today is a _ good morning, carol. good morning. although today is a bit _ good morning, carol. good morning. although today is a bit mixed, - good morning, carol. good morning. although today is a bit mixed, it - good morning, carol. good morning. although today is a bit mixed, it is i although today is a bit mixed, it is drying up and it will get warmer after a dip in temperatures in the next few days. this morning what we have got is a mixture of sunshine and showers. it is also a mild start to the date. that will change this time tomorrow. we have got some rain

good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. our headlines today... doctors call for a ban on all flavoured and disposable vapes to protect children against what they say is a "growing epidemic" in the uk. there are fewer than 100 spaces left in male prisons across england and wales after a spate of arrests over the bank holiday weekend. paris prepares for the paralympics. the opening ceremony for the games takes place this evening emma raducanu says there are lessons to learn after losing in the first round of the us open.

as dan evans gives his feet a rest after coming through the longest match in the tournamnet�*s history. good morning. today will be a day of sunshine and showers. most of the showers will be in the north and the west. beyond that, looking at it drying up for most. after a dip in temperatures they will climb again at the weekend. all the details shortly. it's wednesday, the 28th august. doctors are calling on the government to ban flavoured and disposable vapes to protect children against what they say is a "growing epidemic" in the uk. a bill aimed at restricting the sale and marketing of vapes, especially to children, ran out of time to pass into law under the last government. the british medical association says bold action is needed. here's our health reporter michelle roberts. according to the latest estimates, around 8% of 11 to 17—year—olds vape. although it's already illegal to sell e—cigarettes to anyone under

18, the british medical association says more needs to be done, and quickly, to protect children and young people from a vape epidemic. the bma wants disposable vapes and all flavoured ones to be banned. it's also calling for curbs on how vapes are marketed and sold, similar to cigarettes, with plain packaging and products kept behind the counter. if you're stopping smoking, you need a tobacco—flavoured vape to just transfer from one to another. there is no need for any of the colourants or any of the flavourings that we see at the moment. we don't want to see them advertised in an open forum. there's no point in having a shiny bubble gum flavour. it'sjust about providing a quick aid. the uk vaping industry association agrees that stronger measures are needed to cut off the supply of youth vaping and illicit products, but it fears bans could lead to people using the black market and harm stop

smoking progress. what we'd like to see, and have been campaigning for many years, is to see an introduction of vape licensing for both retailers and wholesalers. that would include things like robust age verification processes, for instance. then also, we need to combine that with increased fines. and we'd like to see, as an industry, minimum fines of £10,000, for instance, for anyone caught selling to a minor. in february, the conservative government introduced a tobacco and vapes bill, which aimed to restrict access for children, but not adult smokers trying to quit. however, parliament was dissolved for the election before the law could be passed. when labour took over, it announced that it would reintroduce the bill. the government says it's always been clear that children and adult nonsmokers should never vape, and that the tobacco and vapes bill will stop vapes from deliberately being branded and advertised to appeal to children.

michelle roberts, bbc news. we are going to talk to a doctor about the implications of that later and also to a head teacher about the problems of vaping in schools. the prime minister is in berlin to meet with the german chancellor olaf scholz and begin talks on a new co—operation treaty. sir keir starmer says he wants to turn a corner on brexit and "reset" uk relations with europe. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in berlin. travelling with the prime minister. that is quite a big task to get started, isn't it? it that is quite a big task to get started, isn't it?— that is quite a big task to get started, isn't it? it is. a lot of this really _ started, isn't it? it is. a lot of this really is _ started, isn't it? it is. a lot of this really is about _ started, isn't it? it is. a lot of this really is about projecting| started, isn't it? it is. a lot of- this really is about projecting good vibes from the uk to europe. a change of tone from the previous conservative government. it is actually going to be the fifth time keir starmer has met his german

counterpart olaf scholz in less than a couple of months as prime minister. he is using a reset word again. we have heard so much up there since he became prime minister. he says he wants to reset the uk's relationship with all of the uk's relationship with all of the eu's major players. he wants to fix relationships. what does it mean specifically? today, keir starmer and olaf scholz will launch negotiations on a treaty, the first of its kind between the uk and germany, which will cover things like trade, defence, illegal immigration and much else aside. the uk says that is a statement of intent as to how they want to improve market access, for example, for british firms trading in germany. but they are not talking about reopening the post—brexit trade deal between notjust germany, the whole of the eu. the question is

how much is it they can make market access without reopening the brexit question again. the uk says they want to negotiate this treaty within just six months, not long to find out how all of that will work. thank ou. the amount of cannabis seized from suitcases at uk airports has tripled in less than a year, according to the national crime agency. around 15 tonnes of the drug have been uncovered so far in 2024. officials say overproduction of cannabis in countries where it has been legalised may be behind the rise. energy suppliers will be urged to help households struggling with their bills when company bosses meet the government later today. the energy consumers minister called the summit following the increase to the energy price cap last week. our political correspondent iain watson joins us now. this is very timely, isn't it? it is, with prices going up. the minister who is meant to be standing

up minister who is meant to be standing up for all of minister who is meant to be standing upforall of us, minister who is meant to be standing up for all of us, the energy consumers, will have her work cut out. she is meeting major companies like edf, centrica and the citizens' out. she is meeting major companies like edf, centrica and the citizens' advice bureau will be there as well. advice bureau will be there as well. the aim is notjust to help those the aim is notjust to help those who have fallen behind with payments who have fallen behind with payments but also to try to prevent people but also to try to prevent people falling into debt this winter. falling into debt this winter. politically, the government has to politically, the government has to be seen to be very active on this. be seen to be very active on this. it has attracted a lot of criticism it has attracted a lot of criticism from opponents and labour from opponents and labour politicians will eventually making politicians will eventually making the situation worse by withdrawing the situation worse by withdrawing winter fuel payments from around 10 winter fuel payments from around 10 million pensioners. the committee on million pensioners. the committee on fuel poverty is saying effectively fuel poverty is saying effectively the has been no meaningful reduction the has been no meaningful reduction of fuel poverty in the last five of fuel poverty in the last five years. they will look to an incoming years. they will look to an incoming government to start to redress government to start to redress policy on this. they are talking policy on this. they are talking about a social tariff which means about a social tariff which means heavily discounted bills for those heavily discounted bills for those who can least afford them. a lot for who can least afford them. a lot for

the government to consider. the government to consider. the most immediate and pressing problem is what will happen this winter. two men will appear in court today — charged with murder

us from jerusalem. yolande, what's the latest? what local journalists are what localjournalists are saying is they have not seen anything of this scope and scale in the west bank, which is a separate palestinian territory from the gaza strip since the days of the second palestinian uprising. that is two decades ago. you have israeli forces, israeli media saying there are hundreds active in the four different cities in the north of the west bank. they are all affected. there have been as strikes carried out. we have heard about gun battles inside the urban refugee camps in these different

locations. the israeli military has only put out a very short statement talking about how it is working with other security forces on a counterterrorism operation. we have had the israeli foreign minister coming out with a strongly worded statement saying the israeli military has been acting since last night in some of these cities with full force, he said. they are aiming to dismantle what he called iranians islamist terrorist infrastructure. he has said that this must be addressed, this threat, with the same determination as the threat from gaza, including with possible palestinian evacuations. that is something we haven't had in an official capacity before. he is not speaking on behalf of the israeli military but clearly wants that to be a message that is going out to the world. . ~ be a message that is going out to the world. ., ,, , ., the opening ceremony

of the paralympic games will take place later in paris. over the next 11 days, more than 4,000 athletes from around the world will compete in 22 sports. for the first time the ceremony will be held outside a stadium. the atmosphere here is very positive. it is the calm before the storm. we were speaking tojonnie peacock. he said the feeling he gets now compared to how he feltjust before london. that was a real breakthrough games and i hope and expectation something similar might be about to happen in paris. they are choosing to have the opening ceremony using the paris landmarks as the backdrop. we know it will go down the champs elysees to the place de la concord. they have boarding up

and the roads are closed. they are ready but keeping those finer details under wraps until tonight, making sure it is a surprise. we know there will be 50,000 spectators expected tonight. in terms of sport, what can we look out for? 215 athletes are being sent by great britain to compete. there are superstars we know like hannah cockroft, alfie hewett, jonnie peacock. also lots of debutants. people like iona winnifred, 13 years old, the youngest member of the great britain team. she is already a double british champion. the target for medals is between 100 and 140 medals. that may sound a lot but do not forget great britain finished second in the medals table for the past two games so we will have a lot of medal winning moments over the next few days.

it will feel pleasantly warm as well. yesterday we reached 27 celsius in cambridge, that can be hired to running into the rain across the north of england, showers in northern ireland and western scotland. some of those could be heavy and thundery. the east will hang on to the brighter conditions that bit longer. these other temperatures, 15 to 27, 28. may be higher in the south—east. this evening and overnight, everything moves east, leaving us with some clear skies. moves east, leaving us with some clearskies. some moves east, leaving us with some clear skies. some show still coming in across northern ireland and western scotland where it will be breezy. a fresh start to the day tomorrow than we had this morning. quite a mild start if you have not yet ventured out. through the day tomorrow again a lot of dry weather for many. some showers crossing northern ireland and scotland were accompanied by breezy conditions. further south the breezes lighter. we could see the odd shower in the

north of england, that will be the exception rather than the rule. these are the temperatures, 14 to 23 degrees. these are the temperatures, 14 to 23 de . rees. ., , these are the temperatures, 14 to 23 decrees. ., , ,., these are the temperatures, 14 to 23 decrees. ., , . , . degrees. you tell us so nicely. we for: ive degrees. you tell us so nicely. we forgive the — degrees. you tell us so nicely. we forgive the rain. _ there are currently fewer than 100 spaces left in men's prisons in england and wales — that's according to a bbc investigation. yesterday, the prime minister — sir keir starmer — said the government had to "check the precise number of prison places" every day during the recent disorder in parts of the uk. as of last friday, the total prison population in england and wales was 88,234 — the highest end—of—week total for at least 13 years. that's more than 5,000 more inmates than the same period five years ago. to ease the issues around capacity, the government set out plans to reduce the time inmates must spend in jail before they are automatically released. they said this is expected to result in the release of 5,500 offenders in the next two months.

we can speak now to mark fairhurst, from the prison officers' association, who can tell us more. you were here just last week when we were talking about operation early dawn. ~ , . were talking about operation early dawn. ~ , , were talking about operation early dawn. , , . dawn. why is it so bad? there are less than 100 _ dawn. why is it so bad? there are less than 100 on _ dawn. why is it so bad? there are less than 100 on tuesday - dawn. why is it so bad? there are | less than 100 on tuesday morning. dawn. why is it so bad? there are - less than 100 on tuesday morning. we have had 730 new receptions. that, combined with the bank holiday, where we were not able to release anybody on monday, has resulted in this latest crisis. by the end of the week i would imagine it will even out and by friday we will be able to service the courts. ii rare able to service the courts. if we are down _ able to service the courts. if we are down to _ able to service the courts. if we are down to that _ able to service the courts. if we are down to that low _ able to service the courts. if we are down to that low number, l able to service the courts. if we are down to that low number, what does it mean in practical terms? that means we have to consider options. some of those may be bringing back online spaces we took

it is the worst i have seen, we have never got their slow. pressure on members is immense. it is not unusualfor some members is immense. it is not unusual for some reception staff to work till two o'clock or three o'clock in the morning, accepting new receptions because prison vans are delivering from courts hundreds of miles away from where they had picked up. it might be the case you get convicted in the north—east but because we are so short of space when the only space is in the south—west of the south—east. irate south-west of the south-east. we know the south—west of the south—east. we know the prison system should be about a deterrent as well. it strikes me anyone looking at the state of the presence of right now, this is no deterrent. even if you end up in prison, and given what we are saying about places, you will more likely get another kind of punishment other than custodial sentence, you will only complete that if. it sentence, you will only complete

and the public were just encouraged to hate, to fear. after germany's defeat meant little wonder that under the terms of surrender britain confiscated the german u—boat fleet. more than 100 subs commandeered by the allies and taken to harwich. but while these trophies of war were destined for scrap, this was just the beginning of the story for one submarine and the sussex town that briefly became home. u118 was being transferred to france when it broke free in the channel in stormy weather. beaching itself on the seafront at hastings. it is hard to fathom just what an extraordinary sight this would have been for people here to wake up to back in april, 1919. this colossus of the deep washed up here. it was more than 80m long.

it weighed more than 1,100 tons. the sea had unwittingly gifted hastings a giant new tourist attraction. and there it sat in front of the town's queen's hotel. too vast to be shifted, it resisted attempts to refloat, but it became briefly an object of fascination. over the easter weekend, you know, people were coming down and having their photographs taken in front of it, and eventually people would, you know, looking for tours on board. and the admiralty, they actually allowed hastings to charge people for these tours on board and all the fees. they went towards a fund for the local heroes coming back from the first world war. but soon its value as an attraction was to be outweighed

by its value in scrap. in the end, it was stripped down and sold. legend has it that buried deep under the shingle, some still remains. in fact, in the southeast, people had already been given a flavour of these remarkable craft. after its capture off harwich in 1916, uk5 was brought —— uc5 was brought to sheerness, and there she was shown off to assembled media. it was a huge propaganda coup for the british and the weapons the mines were... and the submarine were put on display to huge crowds of people. but while there's little tangible evidence of those two craft today, there is another world war i submarine lurking here in the south east. for more than a century,

it's been stranded on mud banks near the isle of grain. but getting to it is quite an operation. given the right boat, the right time and the right tide, though, it is possible to reach it. and, after travelling up the medway to the remote location where she sits, she comes into view. it's so eerie. so... it's an awesome sight. it's just so peaceful. there's nobody comes here. and here she is — just laid to rest on the shore. debate continues as to her exact identity. historic england suggests it's one of three world war i subs — abandoned here, either

deliberately or accidentally, after being stripped of its parts. it's only the spring tide that allows us to get effectively within touching distance of this extraordinary vessel. within an hour or so, it'll be overwhelmed by water yet again. and while this is just a shell, it's what isn't here that's just as interesting as what is. the outer casing would have been taken away for reuse elsewhere, but also the internal fittings. so things like engines and motors that are inside were, um, taken away and found a second life inside factories and places like that around the south coast of england. um, we've got records to show that some of them were used in power stations and cement works and all sorts of places. gutted and now quietly corroding. this u—boat serves as an early example of recycling, a fading memory of a conflict gradually disappearing in the mud of the medway. piers hopkirk, bbc news.

how cool was that? incredible to get so close because of the tides. amazing to see it. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning from bbc london. i'm alice salfield. a fundraising page has been set up to help people affected by the fire in a block of flats in dagenham on monday morning. more than 100 people were evacuated from their homes and some families have lost everything. barking and dagenham council launched the appeal yesterday and almost £4,000 has been raised so far. the council says it's supporting residents at an emergency rest centre and providing emergency accommodation. a man's due in court later charged with murdering bus driver derek thomas in stoke newington last month. kamar williams was arrested on monday after the police stopped him at notting hill carnival. the met police had been trying to locate him in connection with the fatal stabbing.

people living in a large homeless encampment in park lane could be forced to leave, as transport for london is seeking a possession order. tfl — which manages the land — said the spot in the middle of the dual carriageway is not a safe place for people to sleep rough, and that its focus is on the welfare of everyone involved. mudlarking along the river thames has become so popular that the port of london authority has stopped giving out new licenses for the foreseeable future. mudlarking is when someone searches the banks of rivers for historical items or those of value. officials say they want to protect the unique historical integrity of the thames foreshore. but some who can't get a license have expressed disappointment. when i said, "so, are you saying that people who've already got licences can keep them in perpetuity, and no—one can ever get a new one?", they cut and paste the same reply. and i phoned a couple of times, and, you know, nobody was interested.

itjust strikes me as being very, very unfair. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is another very mild and bright start to the day. it is going to be a warm day today, perhaps the warmest this week. largely dry with plenty of sunny spells. a bit more cloud this afternoon. there is a cold front slowly moving towards us. any rain unlikely to reach the ground. staying dry. 27, 28 celsius. the further east you go, the warmer it is likely to be. overnight that cold front is moving away eastwards. behind it, the air will be slightly fresher. not as warm as last night.

minimum temperature 11 to 13 celsius. a bright start tomorrow morning. a slightly fresher start. a fresher day all in all. plenty of sunshine. largely dry, fine, plenty of sunshine for the rest of the week, temperatures in the low to mid 20s. that's all from me. there's plenty more on our website, including the battle of britain bunker disguised as a garden. but now it's back to sally and ben. bye—bye. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. the colourful packaging and fruity smells of vapes can attract young people to give it a try, but as we've been hearing this morning, there are calls for tougher regulation around the sale and promotion of vapes. the british medical association has urged the government to ban disposable vapes and eliminate

all flavours apart from tobacco, a move it says would protect children and the environment. we're joined now by glyn potts, headteacher at newman college in oldham, and matthew evison, a respiratory consultant. according to you both. thank you for being with us. matthew, let me start with you. it is an interesting one. talk to us about the flavours first of all, because that is the bit a lot of people won't understand. if they are a tool designed to get people off tobacco, why do they need these fancy flavours and packaging? first and foremost, there really is an urgent need for stricter regulation around vapes that protects young people and children. and part of that is the colour, the cartoon imagery, elaborate descriptions of flavours. they need to go and there is a real urgency around that, that's why it's so

important that the tobacco and vapour bill is tabled in parliament which will address these issues. there is a more nuanced discussion around flavours particularly. we can't talk about vaping without talking about the devastating harms of tobacco. vaping is a really important, relatively effective tool, to help people stop smoking. we have evidence that having flavours increases the successes of stopping smoking. and in areas where flavours have been banned, like in the us, there is an increase in the sale and consumption of tobacco. so, all of our responses to this, there is an urgent need to tighten regulation around vaping or to protect young people. but that can't undermine the value of nicotine vapes to somebody that smokes tobacco. and the deadly harm that comes from that. fight! tobacco. and the deadly harm that comes from that.—

tobacco. and the deadly harm that comes from that. and glenn, talk to a bit about the _ comes from that. and glenn, talk to a bit about the issues _ comes from that. and glenn, talk to a bit about the issues that _ comes from that. and glenn, talk to a bit about the issues that you - comes from that. and glenn, talk to a bit about the issues that you have | a bit about the issues that you have with vapes in your school and the harms that you have seen?- with vapes in your school and the harms that you have seen? well, i think vapes _ harms that you have seen? well, i think vapes are _ harms that you have seen? well, i think vapes are a _ harms that you have seen? well, i think vapes are a great _ harms that you have seen? well, i think vapes are a great tool - harms that you have seen? well, i think vapes are a great tool for - think vapes are a great tool for smoking — think vapes are a great tool for smoking cessation, but if they are, in my— smoking cessation, but if they are, in my opinion, packaged and targeted at young _ in my opinion, packaged and targeted at young people as an accessory to adolescence. that's a real risk for us. adolescence. that's a real risk for us we _ adolescence. that's a real risk for us we have — adolescence. that's a real risk for us. we have seen in schools across the country. — us. we have seen in schools across the country, in bus stops and town centres. _ the country, in bus stops and town centres, billows of smoke from young people _ centres, billows of smoke from young people consuming vapes, often with hi-h people consuming vapes, often with high levels of nicotine, with parents _ high levels of nicotine, with parents not necessarily aware that that is _ parents not necessarily aware that that is equally as damaging as a cigarette — that is equally as damaging as a cigarette. that is before we talk about _ cigarette. that is before we talk about the — cigarette. that is before we talk about the illegal vapes that we know exist within our country, which contain — exist within our country, which contain drugs which can cause real harm _ contain drugs which can cause real harm to _ contain drugs which can cause real harm to some people. and contain drugs which can cause real harm to some people.— contain drugs which can cause real harm to some people. and how do you t to harm to some people. and how do you try to control — harm to some people. and how do you try to control this _ harm to some people. and how do you try to control this at _ harm to some people. and how do you try to control this at school? _ harm to some people. and how do you try to control this at school? well, - try to control this at school? well, we are very _ try to control this at school? well, we are very lucky _ try to control this at school? well, we are very lucky and _ try to control this at school? well, we are very lucky and as _ try to control this at school? well, we are very lucky and as much - try to control this at school? well, we are very lucky and as much as. try to control this at school? well, l we are very lucky and as much as we have _ we are very lucky and as much as we have a _ we are very lucky and as much as we have a very— we are very lucky and as much as we have a very sensitive fire alarm system — have a very sensitive fire alarm system. we are a brand—new school, so there _ system. we are a brand—new school, so there are — system. we are a brand—new school, so there are cameras all over. that doesn't _ so there are cameras all over. that doesn't stop — so there are cameras all over. that doesn't stop young people experimenting with vapes. certainly

addressing smoking. the bill addresses all of these things. it is not one thing in isolation. it is not one thing in isolation. it is notjust not one thing in isolation. it is not just about disposable vapes. not one thing in isolation. it is notjust about disposable vapes. we have to make them less accessible, less appealing, put them out of sight, out of reach, reduce the point of sales. and the description of flavours needs to go. they does not need to be an elaborate description of flavours. the actual flavours themselves are useful, some of them. do flavours themselves are useful, some of them. , ., , flavours themselves are useful, some ofthem. , .,, , ,, of them. do they need to be bubble cum or of them. do they need to be bubble gum or candy _ of them. do they need to be bubble gum or candy floss _ of them. do they need to be bubble gum or candy floss flavour? - of them. do they need to be bubble gum or candy floss flavour? this i of them. do they need to be bubble gum or candy floss flavour? this is| gum or candy floss flavour? this is it exactl . gum or candy floss flavour? this is it exactly- we _ gum or candy floss flavour? this is it exactly. we do _ gum or candy floss flavour? this is it exactly. we do not _ gum or candy floss flavour? this is it exactly. we do not need - gum or candy floss flavour? this is it exactly. we do not need those i it exactly. we do not need those flavour descriptions.— flavour descriptions. what i am stru: . linu flavour descriptions. what i am struggling to — flavour descriptions. what i am struggling to understand, - flavour descriptions. what i am struggling to understand, if- flavour descriptions. what i am j struggling to understand, if the addiction is the nicotine, why does addiction is the nicotine, why does a flavour make a difference? because a flavour make a difference? because a cigarette doesn't have a flavour. yeah. there are lots of different reasons why those flavours can be important. switching from smoking tobacco to vaping, some people find firstly it creates quite a switch

from tobacco to vote, it is a different degree of inhalation. flavours can overcome that. that person is already very addicted to nicotine. and it's not the nicotine that the harm of smoking. the harm comes all the chemicals when tobacco is burned. so a vape provides them with nicotine in a way that doesn't come with the combustion of tobacco. so that's which can be critically important because that rape is substantially less harmful. —— vapes. but we need the ability to flex to individual needs. if that is a flavour that help sites which happen and happen for good, so there is no one tobacco, that is a positive thing. the harms of tobacco are deadly. i5 positive thing. the harms of tobacco are deadl . . . positive thing. the harms of tobacco are deadl . , , , ., positive thing. the harms of tobacco aredeadl., , .. . are deadly. is this 'ust a classic case that are deadly. is thisjust a classic case that regulation _ are deadly. is thisjust a classic case that regulation and - are deadly. is thisjust a classic - case that regulation and legislation has not kept up with the pace of how people are consuming certain products? i suppose the only

fifth set but turned it around, and said he's never played a match like it. i was hurting all over, really. yeah, it was just such... i don't think i've played five hours, that long, in a day ever in two sessions, never mind in one! i was actually thinking that on the court. i've never practised two hours, two hours. it's normally an hour and a half. british number one jack draper is through after his opponent retired. he cruised through the first two sets against zhang zhizen of china, who had to have his leg strapped and was clearly unable to play to his best, as he called it a day in the third set. british number one katie boulter is also through after beating belarus's aliaksandra sasnovich in three sets. there were 18 games

in the second round of the league cup last night, everton putting their poor premier league form behind them. 3—0, they beat league two doncaster. the goal of the game was scored by iliman ndiaye — their summer signing from marseille with the second of the game, who pick up their first win of the season. fulham also booked their place in the next round with a win at birmingham city. a rauljiminez penalty and this strike from jay stansfield enough to wrap up a 2—0 win. you can see all last night's results on the bbc sport website. australia's ben o'connor still leads the vuelta a espana — the tour of spain — by almost four minutes, but there's still everything to ride for if his challenge fades on the spanish climbs. belgium's wout van aert won stage ten — his third vuelta stage win this year, and his twelfth in a grand tour. o'connorfinished in the main bunch, butjust over a minute and a half separates the riders placed second to eighth behind him, including britain's adam yates.

launched the appeal yesterday and almost £4,500 has been raised so far. the council says it's supporting residents at an emergency rest centre and providing emergency accommodation. people living in a large homeless encampment in park lane could be forced to leave — as transport for london is seeking a possession order. tfl — which manages the land — said the spot in the middle of the dual carriageway is "not a safe place for people to sleep rough", and that its focus is on the welfare of everyone involved. let's take a look at the tubes now. the central line has minor delays. there are severe delays on the overground and the piccadilly line has part closures — with no service between rayners lane and uxbridge and between wood green and cockfosters until sunday. today's weather. it should be dry and very warm with plenty of hazy sunshine and areas of high cloud. there will be a few thicker clouds developing in the afternoon and a top temperature of 28 degrees. that's all from me.

there's plenty more on our website, including the battle of britain bunker disguised as a garden. bye— bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. our headlines today... doctors call for a ban on all flavoured and disposable vapes to protect children against what they say is a "growing epidemic" in the uk. there are fewer than 100 spaces left in male prisons across england and wales after a spate of arrests over the bank holiday weekend. paris prepares for the paralympics. the opening ceremony for the games takes place this evening. water bills are due to rise by an average of £19 a year but suppliers say that's not enough to tackle sewage spills and secure our future water needs. i'll look at what the

regulator might do next. good morning. a mild start to the day leading us into what potentially could be the warmest day this week. we have showers across the north and west. a lot of sunshine across parts of the south and east. here we could reach 28 today. all of the details shortly. it's wednesday, the 28th of august. doctors are calling on the government to ban flavoured and disposable vapes to protect children against what they say is a "growing epidemic" in the uk. a bill aimed at restricting the sale and marketing of vapes, especially to children, ran out of time to pass into law under the last government. the british medical association says bold action is needed. here's our health reporter michelle roberts. according to the latest estimates, around 8% of ii to i7—year—olds vape. although it's already illegal to sell e—cigarettes to anyone under 18, the british medical association says more needs to be done,

and quickly, to protect children and young people from a vape epidemic. the bma wants disposable vapes and all flavoured ones to be banned. it's also calling for curbs on how vapes are marketed and sold, similar to cigarettes, with plain packaging and products kept behind the counter. if you're stopping smoking, you need a tobacco—flavoured vape to just transfer from one to another. there is no need for any of the colourants or any of the flavourings that we see at the moment. we don't want to see them advertised in an open forum. there's no point in having a shiny bubble gum flavour. it'sjust about providing a quick aid. the uk vaping industry association agrees that stronger measures are needed to cut off the supply of youth vaping and illicit products, but it fears bans could lead to people using the black market and harm stop smoking progress. what we'd like to see, and have been campaigning for many years,

is to see an introduction of vape licensing for both retailers and wholesalers. that would include things like robust age verification processes, for instance. then also, we need to combine that with increased fines. and we'd like to see, as an industry, minimum fines of £10,000, for instance, for anyone caught selling to a minor. in february, the conservative government introduced a tobacco and vapes bill, which aimed to restrict access for children, but not adult smokers trying to quit. however, parliament was dissolved for the election before the law could be passed. when labour took over, it announced that it would reintroduce the bill. the government says it's always been clear that children and adult nonsmokers should never vape, and that the tobacco and vapes bill will stop vapes from deliberately being branded and advertised to appeal to children. michelle roberts, bbc news.

lets check in on the rest of today's headlines. sally has those. thank you. the prime minister is in berlin to meet the german chancellor olaf scholz and begin talks on a new co—operation treaty. sir keir starmer says he wants to turn a corner on brexit and "reset" uk relations with europe. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in berlin this morning. a lot of this really is about projecting good vibes from the uk to europe. a change of tone from the previous conservative government. it is going to be the fifth time keir starmer has met olaf scholz in a couple of months, less than a couple of months as prime minister. he is using a reset word again. we have heard so much of this since keir starmer became prime minister. he says he wants to reset the uk's relationship with all of the eu's

players. he wants to fix the broken relationship. what does it mean specifically? today, keir starmer and olaf scholz will launch negotiations on a treaty, the first of its kind between uk and germany which will cover relationships on trade, defence, cooperation, illegal immigration and so much else besides. the uk says that it a statement of intent on how they want to improve market access, for example, for british firms trading in germany. they are not talking about reopening the post—brexit trade deal between the uk and not just germany but the whole of the eu. i think the obvious question is how much easier they can make market access for uk businesses to germany without reopening the brexit question again. uk says they want to negotiate this treaty within just six months. not long to find out how all of that will work.

there are currently fewer than 100 spaces left in men's prisons in england and wales — that's according to research by the bbc. yesterday, the prime minister said the government had to "check the precise number of prison places" every day during the recent disorder in parts of the uk. our reporter will vernon has more. it's no secret that britain's prisons are already overcrowded. government ministers have been warning for some time that the number of available cells is dangerously low. but now it's understood there are fewer than 100 spaces left for male inmates in england and wales. that could mean big trouble ahead for the entire justice system. what that will result in is the police and wider criminal justice system potentially grinding to a halt. the police will have nowhere to transfer prisoners they detain into our custody because there will be no space.

as of last friday, the total prison population in england and wales was 88,234. that's the highest end of week total for at least 13 years. compare that to the figure from 2019 and we can see numbers grew by over 5,000 in just five years. last week, the government activated a contingency plan, operation early dawn. it allows for some defendants to be held in police cells longer and only brought to court when a prison place is available. riots in cities led to further arrests, putting further strain on the system. more than 400 people were sent to prison. summer festivals added to the burden. 349 people were arrested at the notting hill carnival. bank holiday weekend meant fewer people were released

from prison too. there is nervousness in the government about the chronic shortage of available cells in england and wales. sources working inside the prison system have told the bbc more people are due to be released in the coming days, which should relieve some of the pressure. further room will be created in two weeks' time when a government scheme kicks in, releasing some inmates early. the message from keir starmer yesterday, we had no choice. i didn't want to release prisoners early. i was chief prosecutor for five years. it goes against the grain of everything i have ever done. but, to be blunt, if we hadn't taken the difficult decision immediately, we wouldn't have been able to respond to the riots as we did. but those working in the prison sector have warned successive governments that space is running out and that it will take much more radical reform to solve the crisis. the amount of cannabis seized from suitcases at uk airports has tripled in less than

a year, according to the national crime agency. around 15 tonnes of the drug has been uncovered so far in 202a. officials say overproduction of cannabis in countries where it has been legalised may be behind the rise. energy suppliers will be urged to help households struggling with their bills when company bosses meet the government later today. the energy consumers minister called the summit following the increase to the energy price cap last week. palestinian health officials say at least ten people have been killed by israeli forces in the north of the occupied west bank. four were reportedly killed in an air strike on a refugee camp, while six others died after a drone strike and armed clashes in the city ofjenin. our middle east correspondent yolande knelljoins us from jerusalem. yolande, what's the latest? well, this is a significant israeli military operation but is now under way in the west bank. the israeli

military hasn't been saying very much officially, apart from confirming it is about what it calls counterterrorism operations and it is focusing on two areas in particular. we know there are other parts of the north of the west bank that are affected as well. local journalists have really been suggesting in its scale and scope they hadn't seen something like this since the days of the second palestinian intifada or uprising more than 20 years ago. we are getting reports injenin, in the urban refugee camp, there are gun battles going on between palestinian armed groups and israeli soldiers. we know the main roads intojenin have been closed off by israeli snipers and the head of the hospital saying it has been closed off by israeli forces as well. lots more reports coming in from elsewhere. of course, there has been this surge in

violence in the west bank since the war in gaza began back last october. we have had thousands of palestinians arrested by israeli forces during that time. we have also had more than 640 palestinians killed by israeli forces and some by settlers during the same period. some of those have been planning attacks and others uninvolved civilians. what was said this morning, there was a link between what was happening in the west bank to iran, saying it has been trying to iran, saying it has been trying to set up through funding and support armed groups to attack israel in the west bank. he is saying this threat must be dealt with as the threat is being dealt with as the threat is being dealt with in gaza, raising the possibility of a possible evacuation of palestinian residents from some areas. that is something that will

really alarm palestinians.- really alarm palestinians. thank ou. the opening ceremony of the paralympic games will take place later in paris. over the next 11 days, more than 4,000 athletes from around the world will compete in 22 sports. for the first time the ceremony will be held outside a stadium. sally hurst is in the french capitalfor us. what should we be looking forward to. . what should we be looking forward to. , , ., . what should we be looking forward to. , ,., . , what should we be looking forward to. , . , . to. there is so much. it is heating u . to. there is so much. it is heating u- here. to. there is so much. it is heating up here- the _ to. there is so much. it is heating up here. the feeling _ to. there is so much. it is heating up here. the feeling is _ to. there is so much. it is heating up here. the feeling is of - to. there is so much. it is heating up here. the feeling is of great i up here. the feeling is of great excitement. jonnie peacock telling us the feeling he has now is very similar to what he had before london 2012. there is a real sense that this could be a brilliant games for the paralympic movement. the sport starts tomorrow. the opening ceremony is tonight. we know it will take place along the champs elysees

he wouldn't like me going out with work colleagues. if i didn't get housework done, he would ridicule me. it's about controlling every movement of that person's life. it's like a really slow tap dripping. the more you try to push back against that person's rules, the more dangerous it became for you. domestic abuse is not necessarily about the physical violence, it is about power and control. we are calling this women amelia. she wants you to see her face, hear her voice and listen to her story for the first time but identifying her would put her in danger. he would tell me i was useless and i started to believe it. she said for years her partner subjected her to coercive and controlling behaviour.

unfortunately, there was one day i wasn't able to get the tea on the table at the right time and that was probably the worst night of my life. i can see it's so raw for you. are you able to talk about it? he just completely lost it me, hitting me in the stomach. my daughter was screaming hysterically. he grabbed me by the throat. everything went black. the next thing i remember is waking up on the kitchen floor. there are many men, women and children out there experiencing coercive control. samantha billingham is a survivor of this controlling abuse and now supports others. perpetrators, whether male and female are very clever. they don't only control the survivor, they control the professionals as

well, including the social worker. amelia left her partner but she claims controlling abuse and trauma had a huge impact on her children and she desperately needed help. i wasn't listened to. he fed the social workers with lies, he charmed them. when she turned to children's services, she felt she was being blamed. i was called a bad mum several times, i was put through so much. social workers knowing the warning signs of coercive control, what difference would that have made to your family? services that are supposed to help probably caused our family more trauma. i don't blame the social workers, i blame the system they work for, i blame the training provided to them. amelia has shown us written evidence of abuse allegations made to authorities. in birmingham, these social workers are getting focused training. let's notjust deal with what is

on the surface that we can see. make the wrong call and they know there can be serious consequences. am i saying something that will trigger this person? will it increase the risk when i have gone to the mother and the child? i am always worried about that. if i get it wrong as a professional, a woman might die. she might be killed by her partner, by the abuser. how would you describe the training you had in terms of coercive control at university? it was very poor. i had one lecture on domestic abuse. it was very quick — one hour. i had pretty much no mention of coercive control during my training. it makes a lot of your workload? probably 90, 95% of my work. every case is an underlying issue of domestic abuse. they also gave us a sit—page powerpoint. we asked universities for evidence of how they taught coercive control to social work students. this one slide talks

about coercive control. this is it. oh, my god! it is a picture of a man and woman in passionate embrace. this is absolutely giving the wrong single. ourfreedom of information request findings were looked at. a third of universities do not provide specific training on controlling and coercive behaviour. i think it is really dangerous and really shocking we are not talking about coercive control when we talk about domestic abuse. that should be at the forefront of a social worker's mind. social work england, the regulator, says they meet standards for safe practice and they are preparing new guidance for coercive control. my dream is to become an artist. i lost that dream because of the relationship i fell into. i am slowly building myself back up. improved understanding of coercive control could save many more lives.

thank you for your time. thank you. well done! it is something i will never be able to get over but i can try to bring change so injustice is not done to another family. if you've been affected by any of the issues raised in anna's report, information and support is available via the bbc�*s action line — at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for free. important news about your water bills. households will see their water bills rise by an average of almost £20 a year over the next five years. but water companies have told the regulator ofwat they need to hike charges even more than that. they say they need the extra money to tackle sewage spills and other problems. it's come to light as a consultation on improving the industry closes today. ben has been looking at this for us.

we know there are challenges. if you ask people do you want clean drinking water into the future, do you want to tackle sewage spills quest when they would say yes, universally built you ask people how much they would paperback and that is where opinions start to differ. that is what we are looking at this morning. —— pay for that. the regulator ofwat is currently reviewing the rules it sets for water companies to make sure they provide us with safe water, value for money and to minimise the impact of sewage and wastewater on the environment. injuly, it proposed allowing water companies to increase customer bills by an average of £19 a year over the next five years. that's an increase of about a fifth. but water companies say this isn't enough for them to invest in necessary improvements and upgrades. water uk, which represents suppliers, says without that extra investment, new house building would be blocked, the recovery of rivers would be slower, and we could face water shortages.

ofwat accepts that £88 billion is needed over the next five years to secure the future of our water systems. it's currently consulting on how to do this and where it is most needed. one major problem is the discharge of sewage into our rivers, lakes and seas — which has been at record levels. there were 3.6 million hours of sewage spills last year — that's more than double the year before. and that's led to record fines proposed by ofwat, totalling £168 million for thames water, yorkshire water and northumbrian water over sewage spills. ofwat's wide—ranging consultation has heard from water companies, investors, groups representing customers, and campaigners like surfers against sewage. here's what they told us. we don't believe we are going to see that change through this current process — that change through this current process. ofwat have championed plans

which would still allow up to 200,000 spills a year in 2030, in six years' — 200,000 spills a year in 2030, in six years' time. we really need to see a _ six years' time. we really need to see a review_ six years' time. we really need to see a review of the system by the government to actually make sure we have a _ government to actually make sure we have a sustainable and fair system which _ have a sustainable and fair system which proportioned the cost of the system _ which proportioned the cost of the system valley and doesn't full on bill payers. the consultation closes today, but ofwat's final decisions won't be published until december. meanwhile, the government told us it is committed to cleaning up britian's rivers, lakes and seas — and that will include a new law banning bonuses for bosses of polluting water companies — with criminal charges against persistent law breakers. one of those topics which affects us all even though we may not give it so much thought. this is the time when it is really coming to the fore. fix. when it is really coming to the fore. �* ., ., when it is really coming to the fore. ., ., ., _ morning live follows breakfast

arrested on monday. people living in a large homeless encampment in park lane could be forced to leave, as transport for london is seeking a possession order. tfl — which manages the land — said the spot in the middle of the dual carriageway is not a safe place for people to sleep rough, and that its focus is on the welfare of everyone involved. mudlarking along the river thames has become so popular that the port of london authority has stopped giving out new licenses for the foreseeable future. mudlarking is when someone searches the banks of rivers for historical items or those of value. officials say they want to protect the unique historical integrity of the thames foreshore —but some who can't get a license have expressed disappointment. when i said, "so, are you saying that people who've already got licences can keep them in perpetuity, and no—one can ever get a new one?", they cut and paste the same reply. and i phoned a couple of times, and, you know, nobody was interested. itjust strikes me as

being very, very unfair. let's take a look at the tubes now. the central line has minor delays, there are severe delays on the overground, and the piccadilly line has part closures, with no service between rayners lane and uxbridge and between wood green and cockfosters until sunday. now onto the weather with kate kinsella good morning. it is another very mild and bright start to the day. it is going to be a warm day today, perhaps the warmest this week. largely dry with plenty of sunny spells. a bit more cloud this afternoon. there is a cold front slowly moving towards us. any rain unlikely to reach the ground. staying dry. 27, 28 celsius. the further east you go, the warmer it is likely to be. overnight that cold front is moving away eastwards. behind it, the air will be slightly fresher. not as warm as last night. minimum temperature

11 to 13 celsius. a bright start tomorrow morning. a slightly fresher start. a fresher day all in all. plenty of sunshine. largely dry, fine, plenty of sunshine for the rest of the week, temperatures in the low to mid 20s. that's all from me. there's plenty more on our website, including the battle of britain bunker disguised as a garden but now it's back to sally and ben. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. the opening ceremony of the paralympics takes place in paris tonight, marking the start of 11 days of competition at venues around the french capital, which is hosting the summer games for the first time. more than 4,000 athletes from around the world are expected to take part. paralympics gb has 215 athletes

competing in 19 sports and go into the games as one of the strongest nations. in tokyo, britain finished second in the medal table with 124 medals, including 41 golds. and this year, uk sport has set a medal range of between 100 and 140 medals for paralympics gb. our disability correspondent nikki fox has sent this report from paris. there's a real buzz in the city. paris is getting ready to host its second major sporting event in under a month. the party continues. it's time for the paralympics. archie! hiya, good to meet you. hello, how are you? archie is so excited, he's already arrived. you are in it for the long haul, you are staying for the whole thing?

i'm so excited. i really cannot wait for the games to actually start. we're all in that little bubble that nothing else matters but sport. and i wish it could be like that all the time. but it's paris. it's back with a bang. we're all ready to get started again. someone who's been to more paralympic games than most, as an athlete and a presenter, is tanni grey—thompson. right, tanni, is this going to be the best paralympics of all time? i am so excited about the paris games. i really hope it's going to be the best paralympics of all time. london raised the bar, but i don't want it to be the best games ever. i want it to be one of the best. but it's really important for the movement, for the athletes, that we keep evolving, and i think france has the potential to do that. we're on the cusp of something really special. do the athletes sit around and eat tarte tatin with a nice, sweet little drizzle there? no. you see, in competing days, you couldn't touch this, so...

in the build up to the games, there have been concerns from charities here in france about how the hundreds of thousands of disabled fans will get around the city. money has been spent on making sure all buses and trams are accessible. there'll be more accessible taxis and there'll be shuttle buses taking people to and from the venues. wheelchair racer sammi kinghorn is going to be busy. she's competing in four events this year. yeah, i'm so excited to go in there and just hear that roar. i just want to enjoy this whole experience. and more spectators will get to enjoy the competition, because this year a record number of broadcasters from around the world will be covering the paralympic games. but sammi wants to see more parasport on tv throughout the year. do you think that we are getting closer to sort of equality between the olympics and the paralympics? i think we're getting there with some things. i think there's still obviously a disparity, and there always will be, i think, which is really sad. i'd love to say, oh, i don't think there'll ever be,

i think we'll always be equal. and i would love that. um, but it's hard, i think, because we don't have the same sponsorship and the same money, and that's the kind of thing we're fighting for. and i think because we're not on the telly all through the year, people can't relate to us. for the organisers, these games are a real chance to change attitudes. we truly believe that it could be a revolution also for france, because that will be the first time that this country will deliver the paralympic games in our country, and maybe the first time that they will be also confronted to so many people with disability. the paralympics is a world class, highly competitive event, but it's also an opportunity for disabled people to have their moment in front of a global audience. nikki fox, bbc news. dave clarke, chief executive of british paralympic association joins us now from paris.

first of all i think we need to recognise that no city is perfect for disabled people. most cities are built without disabled people in mind at all. that's why we are very keen that when anything is built physically, or systems and procedures are put in place, that disabled people are considered at the height of that. we find that in london with the fact there is a lot of work to do in london around the underground and around travel. and a lot of that happen before the games. a lot of that has carried on after the games with long term projects. we are very pleased that paris is taking this very seriously. that's the taxis have been made accessible, and the buses. but of course the matter is something that remains a big concern. but it was wonderful to see the announcement that metro for all is something that is going to be all is something that is going to be a long—term legacy of these games. in the village itself or the athletes are is the most accessible ever, with every single apartment having accessible bathrooms, and level access to every part of the

feel a sense of pride in getting your pet to sit on command, maybe even a bit smug if you can teach them something more advanced like rolling over. you have been showing pictures this morning. you are well proud, aren't you? that was just of sadie setting. she wins for being cute. not very good at the tracks. nothing like this next dog. like this next dog. well, jason smawfield—huby and his dog hope have taken their training to the next level and won gold at the dog agility world championships in belgium. our reporter, simon spark, has been to meet them. injune, we saw the preparation. good girl. representing team gb for dog agility in the first ever senior competition held in belgium. it's the first time a competition has been run internationally, specifically for the over 55s and over 65s.

jason was in the over 555 category, and hope was in the fluffy, cute small doggy category, with some serious obedience and serious speed needed. but then, the practising was over. run! i walked into the building. it was absolutely huge. never run my dog in front of so many people before, and the atmosphere was absolutely electric. but, on the start line, you forget about everything else, and it'sjust you and your dog. she was clear in every round, in all four rounds. her worst placing was a third. so, we had a number of silvers and a couple of bronzes. come on! but if hope hoped for a win... stop, stop, stop, stop, stop! yes! come on. ..she got one. come on! yes! i didn't know i'd won the title. i came out, i knew i'd got a clear round, but the noise from, say, my friends on the balcony

was absolutely incredible. and i still didn't believe it. i don't cry a lot, but i was absolutely bawling my eyes out. especially when two people came to congratulate me and cuddle me. so now it's our turn to see this gold medal performance close up. whee, whee, whee, whee, whee, whee! you're looking at the first ever gold winners of the over 555 title of the senior open agility world championships. there's no other dog agility trainer in the world that can boast that category of win. and no other dog quite like hope. yes! supergirl! very cute. we asked you to send in your pictures, your videos of your dog is doing amazing things. and my

uk... blackpooland evacuated to the north—west of the uk... blackpool and the tower, which they see. there's obviously some dancing in the book as well. but it is that idea of going out and exploring. the idea is that harry is in the bedroom looking out of the window one night. and he sees what he thinks is a silhouette of a person walking on the water. this can't be the case at all. there has to be some exploring to be done. and it turns out that it's not all what it turns out that it's not all what it seems. there is much to be discovered. because they are owed —— they are not out there to discover. they are just having a great time. it is all about the adventures of. was this the same story you pitched?

no, entirely different. that was a complete different idea. and from what younger children. i might come back to that eventually. this is purely inspired by my twins, really. it is for older kids, isn't it? yes. it is for older kids, isn't it? yes, seven to — it is for older kids, isn't it? yes, seven to 12-year-olds. - it is for older kids, isn't it? yes, seven to 12-year-olds. it - it is for older kids, isn't it? yes, seven to 12-year-olds. it is - it is for older kids, isn't it? yes, seven to 12-year-olds. it is fast| seven to 12—year—olds. it is fast paced. with children you have to keep the thing going otherwise they do tend to lose interest. it's very interesting watching my children, how they read, what they read, how long they will read. we've read this book at bed time, it's the best story they've ever heard in their lives. ., , . story they've ever heard in their lives-_ they - lives. says their dad! they absolutely _ lives. says their dad! they absolutely love _ lives. says their dad! they absolutely love the - lives. says their dad! they absolutely love the story. | lives. says their dad! they . absolutely love the story. the lives. says their dad! they - absolutely love the story. the great thing about it is they didn't understand part of it, like the second world war, which they didn't study at school yet. they can go back to it later on. it's been really, really lovely having that sort of confirmation from the children. ., ., , ., children. how do you write differently _ children. how do you write differently for _ children. how do you write differently for kids? - children. how do you write differently for kids? well, | children. how do you write | differently for kids? well, i children. how do you write - differently for kids? well, i mean that is the key. _ differently for kids? well, i mean that is the key. the _ differently for kids? well, i mean that is the key. the pace - differently for kids? well, i mean that is the key. the pace is -
