6:00 am
and so sally can wait, as can everyone else for the delay to the ballot for oasis tickets due to huge demand. i'll tell you all you need to know. in sport, great britain got off to a flying start after day one of the paralympics with two golds. teenage swimmer poppy maskill created history with britain's first in paris — plus, there were three silvers and a bronze. and believe it or not, it is dry for almost all of the uk today with sunny spells. will it last into the weekend? i will have the details. good morning. it's friday, the 30th august. the mother of a 13—year—old girl who died after a severe allergic reaction to a costa coffee hot chocolate, says she wants to make sure no other parent loses their child in the same way. abimbola duyile, whose daughter hannah died within hours of sipping the drink,
6:01 am
is calling on the food industry to take allergy training more seriously, and says she lies awake at night thinking about whether she could have prevented her death. she's been talking to our reporter tim muffett. hannah was a bright child, funny, full of life. she loved doing tiktok, what any 13—year—old liked doing. she was like a big teddy bear. she loved to come to my bed and just give me a big cuddle. she loved her friends. she loved hanging out with her friends. hannah had a severe dairy allergy. in february last year, when she was on her way to the dentist, her mum ordered two soya hot chocolates from a costa coffee in barking in east london. after one sip, that was it. she called me from the toilet and said, "that was not soya hot chocolate." she was shouting. she was screaming.
6:02 am
it happened so quickly, at that point. a postmortem examination found that hannah died after an anaphylactic reaction triggered by an ingredient in her hot chocolate, which caused an allergic response. earlier this month, a coroner concluded there had been a failure of communication between coffee shop staff and hannah's mum abi, and a failure to follow processes to discuss allergies. we need to do better. no mother, no parent, should be losing their kids like this. it's not fair. is there enough awareness about food allergies? no. i feel like they think they're just a bunch of fussy kids. or maybe we're just fussy parents. the governmentjust need to do better. they need to start taking kids that's got allergies, seriously. if i'm asking for something, and i'm asking, what's in that?, all your staff should know what ingredient goes in everything. every single person — restaurant,
6:03 am
coffee shops — need to know. following the death of natasha ednan—laperouse in 2016, after she had an allergic reaction to a pret a manger baguette, natasha's law was introduced in 2021. it requires foods pre—packaged on site to carry a full list of ingredients. the family of owen carey, who died in 2017 following an allergic reaction to chicken containing buttermilk, are also campaigning for more law changes. owen's law would require restaurants and coffee shops to state, in writing, 1a major allergens at the point of ordering, without the customer having to ask. owen's family say uk allergen laws are flawed and outdated. the food standards agency says it's developing best practice guidance in relation to allergen information, which will be published early next year. what's your message to the government and to others who can make these types of decisions, given what you've been through?
6:04 am
they should have a sticker on every single drink. so you would like clear stickers saying, this has got soya milk, this has got dairy milk... yes. ..so you know what's in it? everybody knows. let people know. the symptoms of someone having an allergic reaction? you'll be amazing. they can save a life. teach everybody how to use epipen. whether it's a kid, adult, i'm sure everybody doesn't know how to use it. in a statement, a costa coffee spokesperson said... "the loss of hannah is a tragedy, and our heartfelt thoughts remain with her family and friends." costa says it will continue to review staff training, and is working alongside the natasha allergy research foundation.
6:05 am
she loved life. she'd be an amazing adult. hopefully, we can do something to make sure this does not happen to any other family. we will be covering the increase in allergies being reported later in the programme around eight o'clock. the time now is five past six. charlie, there is a us election race on, as we well know. but we are finding out more about kamala harris. yes, a significant interview overnight. kamala harris has defended her political record, in her first television interview since becoming the democratic nominee for us president. in the half—hour interview with cnn, the vice president also attacked her opponent donald trump. our correspondentjenny kumah has this report cheering. a sign of confidence, campaigning with energy in the key battleground state of georgia. it's no wonder kamala harris is smiling.
6:06 am
not long ago, underjoe biden, many thought the democrats�* chances here were low. but opinion polls are now rising in herfavour. is it because you have more experience now...? herfirst tv interview since becoming the democratic nominee was a much bigger test, with the vice president being challenged on how she shifted she defended her record on the border. we have laws that have to be followed and enforced, that address and deal with people who cross our border illegally, and there should be consequence. and let's be clear, in this race i am the only person who has prosecuted transnational criminal organisations trafficking guns, drugs and human beings. i'm the only person in this race who actually served a border state as attorney general to enforce our laws, and i would enforce our laws as president going forward. i recognise the problem.
6:07 am
these responses have done little to extinguish republican claims that she has flip—flopped on major issues, with donald trump posting on his social media platform. boring, was his assessment. he also challenged harris�* stance on policy positions. he said... i want to ask you about your opponent, donald trump. perhaps one of the most striking moments in the interview was ms harris�* response to donald trump's questioning her race, as she gave her shortest answer. he suggested that you happened to turn black recently for political purposes, questioning a core part of your identity. yeah. same old tired playbook. next question, please!
6:08 am
that's it? that's it! 0k. the democrats will be pleased that the interview was without any major mishaps. the next major test will be the tv debate in a couple of weeks with donald trump. an event that could have a major impact on the race to the white house. jenny kumah, bbc news, washington. the world health organisation says israel and hamas have agreed to several pauses in fighting to allow polio vaccinations for more than 600,000 children in gaza. the move comes days after a baby in gaza contracted the disease — the first case in the palestinian territory for 25 years. a ukrainian pilot has died after one of the f—16 warplanes received from western allies crashed. oleksiy mez — known by his call sign moonfish — was killed when his aircraft went down on monday. a military spokesman said the crash was not a direct result of enemy fire. japan is being battered by strong winds and torrential rain after typhoon shanshan hit land.
6:09 am
at least four people have been killed and more than five million have been put on standby to leave their homes, because of the risk from high winds and landslides. employees could be given the right to ask to work a four—day week, under government plans to encourage flexible working. our political correspondent, leila nathoojoins us now. good morning. i suppose the key part of that phrase is the right to ask? morning. yes, this is — phrase is the right to ask? morning. yes. this is a _ phrase is the right to ask? morning. yes, this is a billet _ phrase is the right to ask? morning. yes, this is a billet correct - phrase is the right to ask? morning. yes, this is a billet correct or- phrase is the right to ask? morning. yes, this is a billet correct or a - yes, this is a billet correct or a political row about labour poz—mac plans to strengthen workers' rights. it has been a big part of their policy proposal, long time in the making. the tories are going on the attack about this this morning. it gives you a flavour of the political rows we are going to get a lot more of from next week when parliament returns. the tories are framing this as employees getting a four day week. this is not the case, as you
6:10 am
say. it is the right to ask for a compressed hours. it is quite a key part, quite a common request, for employees looking to work flexibly. the tories are attacking labour�*s plans, framing it as anti—business, saying businesses will pay more. the department of business stressing this is not an imposition of plans on staff or employees, it is more that they want to encourage productivity by enabling employees to work productively. but you can expect to hear a lot more of this as labour starts to bring forward as planned legislation. thank you. a series of weekend strikes by train drivers on london north eastern railway have been called off. members of the train drivers union, aslef, had planned to walk out every weekend until mid—november over what the union said were broken agreements. a spokesperson for the union told the bbc that a resolution had now been reached. former strictly dancer artem chigvintsev has been arrested on suspicion of domestic violence in california. the professional dancer, who won the competition in 2010
6:11 am
and has worked on the us version of the show, was booked into napa countyjail on thursday morning. it is not clear what led to his arrest. he posted a $25,000 bail. the snp's autumn conference gets under way later. it comes just months after the party lost half a million votes and 39 seats in the general election, leaving it with nine mps at westminster. that bruising result is the first item on the party's conference agenda. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon reports. july's general election was not a good result for the snp — a party used to winning, losing seat after seat — at its conference, now looking to reset. my message to the party conference will be that we are the party that can deliver hope and ambition for scotland by setting out that our strong, financially viable and successful country can do an awful lot better as an independent country. and we've got to make that case to the people of scotland. we'll do it by proving ourselves as an effective government that acts
6:12 am
in the public interest in scotland. the task is big — the snp has lost half a million votes from one general election to the next, it's had three leaders in quick succession, and there's a police investigation into the finances of the party. facing an election at holyrood in two years' time, the snp has had a bruising time of late. i think there's a sense that this snp administration is tired, that they've kind of had their shot for now. so there's maybe a chance for them to change that narrative, but at the moment there isn't a sense that they have reenergised themselves, that they have come up with some fresh ideas, that there will be a momentum that they can build running up to 2026. it's ten years since scotland's referendum on independence — on that, the country remains almost evenly split. so what of that defining mission for the snp going forward? so the phrase i've used is it's been given a hard pause — there's no question of that, right? this is not the top doorstep issue.
6:13 am
it wasn't during the election campaign and, opinion poll after opinion poll shows you that. so the the process i think that we need to go through is, get a handle on good government, get a handle on public services, get a handle on the economy, show that you're competent and have a long—term strategy for rebuilding the country. then you will start to get a hearing on the independence question. john swinney had his first big test at the head of the snp, heading up its general election campaign. the scale of that defeat makes the snp's challenges ahead much starker, as the party of government here in scotland looks to rebuild its wider support. lorna gordon, bbc news. 14 1a minutes past six. do you play arcade machines? i can't imagine you do. no, it wouldn't be my thing. you know the grabby machine? yes, try to pick up a dog?
6:14 am
people can play that and feel hard done by. it's like a pretend fishing rod. it's like a pretend fishing rod. it's like a crane. in brazil the police have had enough. they are treating the games is criminal. offices in rio dejaneiro have carried out raids and confiscated several glow machines. basically they say because they are a game of chance, losing them count as gambling. gambling is illegal in the country. police also seized laptops, tablets, cell phones, a firearm, and even stuffed animals during the operation. so they are breaking the law. oh, so they are breaking the law. 0h, matt, so they are breaking the law. oh, matt, did you hear it?! i actually missed that! the moment has passed. matter, they matter, they were breaking the law. the moment has passed. matter, they were breaking the law. he has no idea what we are talking he has no idea what we are talking about. about. i wish i had missed that now. one of i wish i had missed that now. one of the most frustrating machines in the the most frustrating machines in the

6:16 am
mist and fog patches in the west. mist and fog patches in the west. not as much as we have seen andi and ijust gone. into the weekend there is the chance after some sunshine of some thundery showers developing later on saturday and into sunday. more details in half an hour. thank you. 16 minutes past six. the mother of a schoolgirl who was killed in a brutal knife attack in northumberland, has described how her daughter was cruelly taken away. a 17—year—old boy has been found guilty of murdering holly newton, in the town of hexham last january. her mum and stepdad have been talking to our reporter alison freeman. and a warning — this may be distressing for some viewers. it's a bit like a movie. do you know when you just see flashbacks of things? and i remember i really just got out of the car and ran. seen the paramedics working on holly, and came back out
6:17 am
and told her, "you don't go down there. it's not something you want to see, or need to see." how was that for you though, to see her like that? it's going to haunt us for the rest of my life. holly newton was a funny, sociable 15—year—old who loved to dance and wanted to become a dance teacher. on friday, the 27th of january last year, she'd finished school and gone into hexham to spend time with herfriends. but the 15—year—old didn't know that as she walked around the northumberland town, she was being followed by a 16—year—old boy she knew. after tracking her for 45 minutes, the teenager made himself known to her outside of a pizza shop. less than 15 minutes later, he was attacking her with a knife in the alleyway next to it.
6:18 am
another boy attempted to stop him.
6:19 am
"basically, there's nothing else we can do for her." um... it's awful. it's just because that was the hardest thing to hear. you're constantly telling yourself, it's ok, she's not, she's not dead. um... you have hope, right, you have hope? yeah. which is normal. yeah. until somebody tells you that your child is gone, you always have that little bit of hope. kind of like, it can't happen to me, though, it wouldn't happen to me. this happens to other people, it doesn't happen to me. the court heard the boy, who is now 17 and can't be named because of his age, accepted that he stabbed holly, and admitted manslaughter. but he denied murder, claiming his mind had gone blank
6:20 am
during the attack. he also told the court that he'd been carrying the knife, that he'd taken from his home, for more than a week, on and off, because he'd planned to hurt himself with it, and not holly. but the jury at newcastle crown court didn't believe him. they found him guilty of holly's murder. the night before she died, the defendant had turned up at her home in haltwhistle, so her mum had set up a meeting with the police for the friday afternoon, a meeting holly never got to attend. they agreed to come out at four o'clock on the friday, so i told holly and she'd said, um, "but i was supposed to be going out with my friends tonight." and she'd begged me for a good... ..i don't know, half an hour, 45 minutes, "but mam, i want to go out, i want to go out." and in the end, biggest mistake of my life, i'd agreed. giving evidence in court, the defendant admitted he'd
6:21 am
become angry with holly, which is why he stabbed her. but he later claimed he'd only said this because he wanted the trial to end. chilling cctv captured the moments before the defendant persuaded holly to go into the alleyway with him. it's soul destroying, just watching it. it is torture. it's like watching a horror movie where you know the ending, but you can't change it. and your mind almost plays tricks on you. well, it did for me. it's like, well, she's there though. she's there. like, i can see her alive. but obviously then it hits you like a brick wall again because she's not. the thoughts of holly newton's mother and stepfather. thank you to them for taking part in that interview. that report from alison freeman.
6:22 am
let's take a look at today's papers. the times focuses on a new health initiative where nhs workers will go into offices, pubs and building sites to weigh and measure employees over 40 to prevent heart attacks and strokes. more than 130,000 people are expected to be offered these free 20—minute check—ups in the next six months. while the daily telegraph leads on a new law being reportedly considered that would allow employees to condense their contracted hours into four days rather than five. currently, employees can request flexible working hours but employers do not have to agree to them. and the guardian reports that the prime minister is on a collision course with the hospitality industry over the proposed curbs on outdoor smoking. the paper quotes william lees—jones, head of jw lees brewery, who says the idea was a "bolt from the blue" that had not been discussed with those in the industry. for 145 years, crowds have come to wonder at the illuminations in blackpool —
6:23 am
and the annual switch on takes place tonight, with the honour falling to spice girl mel b. ahead of the big day, jayne mccubbin visited the town to find outjust what keeps pulling the crowds back. behold the bright lights of blackpool. you know the long nights are heading in when this lot is switched on. are we ready? but the very first to see the spectacle are always the cyclists. get steady! they come every year for a sneaky peek, because they love it. even if they don't know why. give us a wave for bbc breakfast! lots of people get involved and dressed up. i'm sure you'll see a few tonight. what do you think is the appeal of the illuminations after all these years? i don't know! i don't know. the novelty is not wearing off, is it? the bajaj family have come a long way to be equally intrigued.
6:24 am
what do you make of blackpool? speechless! i love it. you can say, "chum, chumati gali". it's like a shining, sparkling street. i like that! he only comes out once a year. bring him to blackpool, he loves it. they called it artificial sunshine originally. and so itjust attracted people and they've been coming ever since. does it give you that kind of vitamin d dose that's good for the soul? it certainly does. it all began when blackpool council funded eight street lamps, at a time when candles still lit most homes. and it grew... archive: the famous lancashire resort brings out its night - lights from the tower... ..and grew... ..and grew.
6:25 am
today its six miles long, attracts around three million visitors, and is, at times, thoroughly modern. this is odyssey, a 60 laser light show inspired, the artist says, by thoughts of space and idiosyncratic organisms. do we care about the art? do we care about what they mean? or do we just like the showbiz? we like the lights! theyjust like the lights. let me introduce the grimshaw family. oh, resplendent! i've got to be honest, - it's a joyous occasion, isn't it? let'sjust ponder, let'sjust take in... yeah. ..the majesty of this year's laurence llewelyn—bowen contribution to the illuminations.
6:26 am
mike here is one of the team that makes the magic happen, including disco donkey calvacade, a quintessentially blackpool vision, beautifully brought to life with the help of mike's engineering degree. did you imagine that that degree would bring you to this point... no, no. ..with disco donkeys? with disco donkeys. lost me way in life! how long have you done it, mike? ten years. really? ten years. yeah. and it's still magic. it gets crazier every year. crazier and crazier. whatever comes out of somebody�*s head when they're having a gin, i don't know. i don't get that effect, but... it is the humour... ..the silliness, the sparkle that appeals. took me two days to sew these lights on. this is chewbacca. i got fed up, so i pinned him on. these are top tips for people wanting to do it next year? yeah. a few safety pins.
6:27 am
none of this needs to make any sense, but it's still making people smile after 145 years. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning, welcome to bbc london, i'm thomas magill. a man from leytonstone's due in court after a swedish chef was found unconscious near the notting hill carnival on monday. mussie imnetu was in london for businesses when he was attacked near queensway. he suffered head injuries and remains in a critical condition in hospital. 31—year—old omar wilson has been charged a swimming pool in north west london where nine children and two adults were treated for a chlorine leak in hospital will remain closed until further notice. it happened at vale farm sports centre in sudbury.
6:28 am
the bbc understands while most of the patients are not seriously unwell, three of the children may need to undergo further medical examinations. investigations are continuing into the death of a man who was fatally stabbed whilst on a mobility scooter in east london. jade anthony barnett, who was 38, died at the scene on rushmore road in clapton on wednesday. detectives are continuing to investigate his death. two men aged 21 and 28 remain in custody on suspicion of murder. a three—day strike by border force agents at heathrow airport begins tomorrow. the pcs union says the dispute, which began in april, is over the introduction of "inflexible rosters". it's not expected to cause serious disruption for travellers. tower hamlets council has given the go—ahead for more than 1,300 homes and a new secondary school to be built on the former westferry printworks site in east london. councillors approved the controversial scheme earlier this week.
6:29 am
let's take a first look at how the tubes are running. piccadilly line is part closed until the 1st of september. now the weather with sofia. good morning. we've enjoyed fine and dry weather over the last couple of days, and that will continue through today. we've got plenty of sunshine, and it's feeling warm, as well, but it's all change as we look to next week. we've got an area of low pressure building in, and that's going to bring more unsettled weather conditions our way — we could have some thundery showers through sunday evening. but through today we've got plenty of sunshine and a bright start for many, with clear skies, a little bit of fair—weather cloud bubbling up through the day, but still feeling warm — temperatures at around 24 celsius. the wind changes to more of an easterly, so it could be
6:30 am
a little bit breezy at times. through the night, though, we've got clear skies for many, a little bit of patchy cloud in places, and where there is cloud it is going to be milder — temperatures between around 12 and 16 celsius to start the day. now, through saturday you could catch a shower — it could be quite sharp if you do — but for most of us it's going to be largely dry with plenty of sunshine. so a fine weekend ahead of us once again. more humid on sunday, though, and we could have some thunderstorms. more unsettled into next week. that's it from me — more on the bbc news app i'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. we are going to spend a moment or two now talking about oasis and buying tickets. a lot of people will be thinking tomorrow is a big day, might be the very thing they have been looking forward to for ages.
6:31 am
this is not a simple process. it is not simple. anyone who has applied for tickets for wimbledon or glastonbury will be familiar with this kind of ballot. but this is being done in a very particular way and they have also been delays and people have had an anxious wait to find out and that is just for the presale. let me explain it all. announced just three days ago — demand and expectations for the gigs are already huge. in fact — the band's management describe it as "unprecedented demand" from fans eager to see the reunion of noel and liam gallagher. # so, sally can wait... the last time oasis played live was 2009. this footage from our bbc shropshire colleague carlie swain who's hoping to see them again next year. yesterday three extra dates were added to the ones already confirmed in manchester, london and edinburgh, and the two in cardiff. the only confirmed international
6:32 am
dates so far are both in dublin. tickets will cost between £73 for standard, up to £500 for premium seats. the general sale starts tomorrow morning at 9am — and an hour earlier in ireland — so set a reminder now. but there will be a pre—sale process with access via a ballot. applications to enter it closed on wednesday night, although huge demand meant a delay in some fans getting confirmation of their entry via an email with a link to click on to verify they want to join the ballot. those emails are still being sent out this morning, and you'll need to have clicked the link to confirm your entry by 10am today. people drawn in the ballot will then be sent details about the pre—sale by 5pm today. it's not yet clear when that starts or how many tickets will be available but it will be first come, first served — so even then there's no guarantee of getting a ticket.
6:33 am
we've spoken to two oasis superfans who've seen the band nearly 50 times between them — about how they're preparing. there were many good bands out there, but not like oasis, you know? they've just got something about them. so i will try anything i can to get tickets. um, i want to go two times if possible next year, to see them twice. um, once ideally with our son. if we can get the suitable seating that — you know, tickets where you can take kids under 12. um, if not, then he will have a night with grandma and paul and i will go — my husband and i will go. so one way or the other, you know, we'll go see them. don't think this is "if you don't| get in this time, you're gone", so i'm relatively relaxed about it. although come... when we pass 9:00 or whatever time they officially go _ on sale for the pre—sale, . i do think it'll be a little bit of a short—term panic station. but the reality is that you've just got to remain calm - and hope for the best, and i'm sure it'llall. be fine in the end.
6:34 am
we'll go through some advice with an expert later this morning on how to avoid ticket scams, what your rights are, what to do if you don't get tickets, and advice on using resale sites. if you have any questions about any of that, get in touch. details on your screen now. remember to leave your name and where you are contacting us from. it says here," oasis pun filled chat" but i think we have had quite enough of that already.— of that already. definitely maybe! 0h! that was _ of that already. definitely maybe! 0h! that was my _ of that already. definitely maybe! 0h! that was my line! _ of that already. definitely maybe! 0h! that was my line! you - of that already. definitely maybe! 0h! that was my line! you have l 0h! that was my line! you have stolen my _ 0h! that was my line! you have stolen my line. _ 0h! that was my line! you have stolen my line. did _ 0h! that was my line! you have stolen my line. did i _ oh! that was my line! you have stolen my line. did i steal- 0h! that was my line! you have j stolen my line. did i stealthat? sorry. what an opening day at the paralympics- _ sorry. what an opening day at the paralympics. such _ sorry. what an opening day at the paralympics. such drama. - sorry. what an opening day at the paralympics. such drama. it - sorry. what an opening day at the paralympics. such drama. it is - sorry. what an opening day at the | paralympics. such drama. it is not what you expect. poor old kadeena cox, golden girl, four—time champion, crashing out, but unexpected success elsewhere. the record—breaking performance for p°ppy record—breaking performance for poppy maskill in the pool and a

daphne schrager took silver in the three kilometre pursuit, and was handed her medal by the actorjackie chan. but the velodrome was the scene, too, for a more concerning moment. it hasn't gone according to plan. kadeena cox of great britain unable to finish her time—trial lap. in a year of challenges with her multiple sclerosis, she still wants to come back to race here on sunday. and at the paralympics, that's the typical approach — this is the platform for the athletes who refuse to give up. joe lynskey, bbc news. absolutely. so, a strong start for paralympicsgb — they currently sit second in the medal table behind china. sally hurstjoins us from paris. a positive opening day with the promise of hopefully more to come on day two. promise of hopefully more to come on da two. ~ ., ., , ., ., day two. indeed. we have a bit of a different view _

6:40 am
he does the bazball stuff his way. if you can play with that kind of freedom and that mentality first off, you're always going to give yourself a better chance of, you know, being confident in yourself, in your own game, and making good decisions under pressure. everything about root�*s hundred was guided, controlled, classic. turning the fortunes of the day. so maybe his trick shot on 143 should be forgiven. his job against sri lanka was done. and anyway, gus atkinson filled the ben stokes gap — his 74 helped england past 350. well, on the second day here, england's attention will turn to taking wickets and making the most of the position joe root has given them. joe wilson, bbc news, at lord's. next, a couple of great stories in scotland. —— great stories in

football. larne — a small town 22 miles north of belfast — have made history by becoming the first irish league club ever to make the group stages of a european club competition. and they weren't the only ones, celebrating a major milesstone, as the new saints, a team who play in oswestry, in shropshire but play in the welsh league, became the first domestic welsh club to reach the group stages of a major european competition. as for larne, they did it thanks to a hat—trick from andy ryan, which helped them defeat lincoln red imps — a team from gibraltar — 4—3 on aggregate. this was in the uefa conference league play—off. qualification will see larne receive approximately £2.6 million in participation money — like winning the lottery in irish league terms. and you can see what it means to them. they'll further swell their coffers with media money, especially if they were to draw chelsea in the first round proper. chelsea lost on the night in switzerland, but went through on aggregate. there was a shock at the us open overnight as third seed carlos alcaraz was dumped out by botic van de zandschulp. the dutchman will face british number one jack draper next at flushing meadows. that after draper, seeded 25th, proved too strong for argentine opponent facundo diaz acosta,
6:42 am
despatching him in straight sets. a win over zandschulp will see draper match his best ever effort in new york. and dan evans cruised through to the third round of the us open with straight—set win over mariano navone. he made easy work of this one after triumphing in the longest match in tournament history earlier this week. it wasn't all positive news from the big apple, sadly, as british number one katie boulter was knocked out of the us open in straight sets by spain's jessica bouzas maneiro. boulter started strongly in the opening set, breaking first before bouzas maneiro found herfooting. the world number 74 stormed into the lead in the second set and held off a late surge to close out a 7—5, 7—5 victory. boulter was heard saying "everything was horrendous" to her team at the side of the court.
6:43 am
7-5, 7-5, 7—5, 7—5, you have to say both sets were pretty close. 7-5, 7-5, you have to say both sets were pretty close-— were pretty close. thanks, we will seak were pretty close. thanks, we will speak later- _ dozens of parents say they feel their children are being failed by private special schools. a bbc investigation into these schools — which cost local councils in england £1.6 billion last year — found concerns about a lack of qualified teachers, poor academic progress by pupils, and an overuse of restraint. for one teenager, things became so difficult she decided to take legal action against her own school, as ruth clegg reports. she'd had people at both sides of her, holding arms. people holding legs. it was just horrible. samantha's daughter, leah, was restrained repeatedly at her school. i had, like, four orfive people on me, face down on the ground, and that turned out to be probably the worst one because i burst all the blood vessels in my face. leah is talking about the place
6:44 am
she was supposed to feel safe — a private special school that said it could meet her complex needs. for them to be physical like that with a child, itjust...broke my heart that i couldn't protect her. i cover all my scars that i have from all the stress i've had. they cover all my scars that i have from all the stress i've had. the more leah — who was autistic, with adhd — was restrained, the more distressed she became. leah was basically crying for help. she.. she was self—harming. stuck blu tack in her ears. she shaved off eyebrows. she inserted a screw into the side of her toe. so, leah, you would end up deliberately hurting yourself as a plea for help. yeah. after raising her concerns with the school, samantha turned to her council, which was paying a quarter of a million pounds a year for her daughter's place. none of her complaints were upheld. in the end, leah took the difficult decision to take her own school to court.
6:45 am
it was all down to leah. leah decided she was going to do the disability discrimination case, and...thankfully she was listened to, and she won her case. there are more than 800 privately run special schools across the uk, which are funded by local authorities. many can provide a vital education to children with complex needs. nut we have spoken to over 50 families who have raised concerns about unqualified teaching staff, a lack of academic progress and, crucially — like in leah's case — an overuse of restraint. some of the testimonies that we have i got from students, their parents... i experts have told us that these problems are echoed across the sector. i worked in local authorities - and what i saw was independent special schools who were promising l the earth, but then not delivering i at all, potentially coming back to the local authority to ask. for more money. associations which represent
6:46 am
the sector say the schools can be tra nsformative for their pupils. children deserve an amazing education. none of our schools are implicated in the sorts of unacceptable practices we've heard about, and it really does a disservice to the incredible work independent special schools are doing when a few bad apples really give a false impression of what is out there and what is available for children with send. do you think they do provide good value for money? in terms of exam results, in terms of future health, future employment opportunities — i would argue that it's probably a net saving for the state. the department for education said, for too long, children with special educational needs had been let down by the system, but told us a key priority is tackling the over—reliance on independent special schools — not least due to the issues raised in this report. leah's left the school and is back home, but still bears the scars
6:47 am
from her experience. so it has a really good message. believe in yourself. in the red it says "be you", which is a really good message to people and yourself. after taking her fight to court, leah finally feels vindicated. the school had been restraining her unnecessarily, and they were ordered to apologise and undergo training. it was just such a relief — one, that she'd been listened to and heard. i respect herfor standing up and basically saying, "enough is enough, you can't do this to me any more." and do you feel safe again? yeah. that's all anyone ever wants for their children — is for them to feel safe and loved and happy. ruth clegg, bbc news.

matt is taking a look at the weather. have your graphics gone wrong or is this new kind of contrasting, what, then know some that we have had in august? it is not me sitting on the fence, i promise. we are heading into september this weekend so i thought i would give you a quick look back at august because it has been a case of winners and losers for some after what was a pretty appalling start to summer will stop things have improved across eastern areas. the contrast most start in parts of northern england. loftus between saltburn and whitby, barely a fifth of the normal rainfall through the whole of august so far, contrast that with the other side of the pennines in the lake districtjust inland from workington where we have
6:49 am
had more than double normal rainfall. the contrast being played out. western areas have also been much cloudier than the east, which has seen the best of the sunshine, and throughout summer, probably worst for sunshine amounts has been the western isles where we have barely seen half of what we would normally expect to see during the entirety of summer. but i do have good news for those who have been cloudy and wet, because the next few days are actually looking fine at long last. sunny spells, across much of the country, and should feel pleasantly warm when the sun is out. high pressure building up from the south at the moment, just edging in. still a bit of a breeze and some cloud in northern scotland producing the odd shower this morning. elsewhere, mist and fog patches in the west but blue skies, lovely sunrise to start the day in most areas of the uk. a bit of fair weather cloud building through the day, some seemed more than others but essentially a dry afternoon, long sunny spells, gentle breeze
6:50 am
across the south. warmest have the weather into the low and mid 20s. teens across scotland and northern ireland with a bit of a breeze to begin with. tonight, clear skies most, if you mist and fog patches in the west, perhaps not as much as last night. milder air pushing into the south east corner, 16 degrees on the south east corner, 16 degrees on the kent coast, compared to just three degrees in the grampians to start tomorrow as a high pressure pressure at centres itself across parts of scotland. for tomorrow, blue skies again for many. a lot of sunshine around. the exception, southern counties. more of a breeze, which i was developing, especially the channel islands and towards the south—west of england and a bit more cloud. still some sunny spells to be had. the breeze will make it feel a bit cooler across southern areas tomorrow, but towards the north and west it will feel a bit warmer. 22 degrees potentially in western parts of scotland. quick look into saturday night and sunday, the cloud will push northwards with that weather front, increased
6:51 am

now the weather with sofia. good morning. we've enjoyed fine and dry weather over the last couple of days, and that will continue through today. we've got plenty of sunshine, and it's feeling warm, as well, but it's all change as we look to next week. we've got an area of low pressure building in, and that's going to bring more unsettled weather conditions our way — we could have some thundery showers through sunday evening. but through today we've got plenty of sunshine and a bright start for many, with clear skies, a little bit of fair—weather cloud bubbling up through the day, but still feeling warm — temperatures at around 24 celsius. the wind changes to more of an easterly, so it could be a little bit breezy at times. through the night, though, we've got clear skies for many, a little bit of patchy cloud in places, and where there is cloud it is going to be milder — temperatures between around 12 and 16 celsius to start the day. now, through saturday you could catch a shower — it could be quite sharp if you do — but for most of us it's going to be largely dry with plenty of sunshine.

7:01 am
abimbola dulye, whose daughter hannah died within hours of sipping the drink, is calling on the food industry to take allergy training more seriously — and says she lies awake at night thinking about whether she could have prevented her death. she's been talking to our reporter tim muffett. hannah was a bright child, funny, full of life. she loved doing tiktok, what any 13—year—old liked doing. she was like a big teddy bear. she loved to come to my bed and just give me a big cuddle. she loved her friends. she loved hanging out with her friends. hannah had a severe dairy allergy. in february last year, when she was on her way to the dentist, her mum ordered two soya hot chocolates from a costa coffee in barking in east london. after one sip, that was it. she called me from the toilet and said, "that was not
7:02 am
soya hot chocolate." she was shouting. she was screaming. it happened so quickly, at that point. a postmortem examination found that hannah died after an anaphylactic reaction triggered by an ingredient in her hot chocolate, which caused an allergic response. earlier this month, a coroner concluded there had been a failure of communication between coffee shop staff and hannah's mum abi, and a failure to follow processes to discuss allergies. we need to do better. no mother, no parent, should be losing their kids like this. it's not fair. is there enough awareness about food allergies? no. i feel like they think they're just a bunch of fussy kids. or maybe we're just fussy parents. the governmentjust need to do better. they need to start taking kids that's got allergies, seriously. if i'm asking for something,
7:03 am
and i'm asking, what's in that?, all your staff should know what ingredient goes in everything. every single person — restaurant, coffee shops — need to know. following the death of natasha ednan—laperouse in 2016, after she had an allergic reaction to a pret a manger baguette, natasha's law was introduced in 2021. it requires foods pre—packaged on site to carry a full list of ingredients. the family of owen carey, who died in 2017 following an allergic reaction to chicken containing buttermilk, are also campaigning for more law changes. owen's law would require restaurants and coffee shops to state, in writing, 14 major allergens at the point of ordering, without the customer having to ask. owen's family say uk allergen laws are flawed and outdated. the food standards agency says it's developing best practice guidance in relation to allergen information, which will be published early next year. what's your message to the government and to others
7:04 am
who can make these types of decisions, given what you've been through? they should have a sticker on every single drink. so you would like clear stickers saying, this has got soya milk, this has got dairy milk... yes. ..so you know what's in it? everybody knows. let people know. the symptoms of someone having an allergic reaction? you'll be amazing. they can save a life. teach everybody how to use epipen. whether it's a kid, adult, i'm sure everybody doesn't know how to use it. in a statement, a costa coffee spokesperson said... costa says it will continue to review staff training, and is working alongside the natasha

7:06 am
the vice president also attacked her opponent donald trump. our correspondentjenny kumah has this report. cheering. a sign of confidence, campaigning with energy in the key battleground state of georgia. it's no wonder kamala harris is smiling. not long ago, underjoe biden, many thought the democrats' chances here were low. but opinion polls are now rising in herfavour. is it because you have more experience now...? herfirst tv interview since becoming the democratic nominee was a much bigger test. speaking to cnn, the vice president was challenged and how she has shifted her view on key policies, and defended her record on the border, something the republicans have frequently attacked a run. we have laws that have to be followed and enforced, that address and deal with people who cross our border illegally, and there
7:07 am
should be consequence. and let's be clear, in this race i am the only person who has prosecuted transnational criminal organisations trafficking guns, drugs and human beings. i'm the only person in this race who actually served a border state as attorney general to enforce our laws, and i would enforce our laws as president going forward. i recognise the problem. these responses have done little to extinguish republican claims that she has flip—flopped on major issues, with donald trump posting on his social media platform. boring, was his assessment. he also challenged harris' stance on policy positions. he said... "i look forward to debating comrade kamala harris and exposing herfor the fraud that she is. harris has changed every one of her long—held decisions on everything. america will never allow an election—weaponising marxist to be president of the us." i want to ask you about your opponent, donald trump. perhaps one of the most striking moments in the interview was
7:08 am
ms harris' response to donald trump's questioning her race, as she gave her shortest answer. he suggested that you happened to turn black recently for political purposes, questioning a core part of your identity. yeah. same old tired playbook. next question, please! that's it? that's it! 0k. the democrats will be pleased that the interview was without any major mishaps. the next major test will be the tv debate in a couple of weeks with donald trump. an event that could have a major impact on the race to the white house. jenny kumah, bbc news, washington. untreated sewage has been discharged into sites that flow into windermere in the lake district continuously for seven days. the water company, united utilities, said the overflows were designed to work during heavy rainfall — but campaigners say the system should have been able to cope with the recent weather. a series of weekend strikes by train drivers

7:14 am
carried out raids and confiscated several claw machines in the city, saying that they're games of chance and so using them counts as gambling, which is illegal in the country. police also seized laptops, tablets, a firearm and even stuffed animals during the operation. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. gambling, illegal, odd. very peculiar, matt. what have you got for us today? i've got something which actually probably you have less chance of seeing through the summer than you would winning one of those toys. somebody has been up early for a walk in the peak district. beautiful scene below. some mist and fog. that gives you an indication of what we will see in western areas. blue skies overhead for the vast
7:15 am
majority. a fine day. a little on the fresh side out there this morning. temperatures have dropped down to about five or 6 degrees. these are the lowest temperatures we have seen on the chart in the last hour. but as i said, blue skies overhead will soon warm things up. the mist and fog will shift from western areas by mid—morning. there is some cloud and some showers in the north of scotland. even those will fade away. sunny spells to take us into the afternoon. temperatures in the mid to high teens. still a breeze blowing across scotland, keeping the temperature is suppressed. head further south, lighter winds. warm in the sunshine. temperatures 22 to 24 celsius. a few mist and fog patches to come tonight. again, mainly in the west. clear skies for many. my list towards the south—east corner, 16 degrees, this weekend, after a sunny start we will see a few showers and

thunderstorms for the south start we will see a few showers and thunderstorms for the south later start we will see a few showers and thunderstorms for the south later on saturday and sunday. thank you. police say they're alarmed by the number of children not wearing seatbelts when travelling with their parents. officers have been using specialist ai cameras to look at motorists' behaviour, and have spotted youngsters on laps, using tablets and in child seats all while not strapped in. our reporter tamsin melville has the story. i obviously cannot do anything for myself, so i am completely, like, dependent on my carers and my mum when she's around to kind of like, you know, look after me. he can't remember the car crash two years ago that left him paralysed from the shoulders down, but seth marks knows how everything can change in an instant. put your seat belt on — it's, like, the one thing that you get told when you're young, isn't it? that, you know, always wear your seat belt. but i think mejust being 18, you know, you get stupid, don't you,
7:17 am
and you just you feel like you're invincible. but i made that wrong decision not to put my seat belt on, and now i've got the rest of my life to pay for it, really. and these pictures have alarmed police that the seat belt message still isn't getting through. the force here was expecting these artificial intelligence cameras to mainly pick up mobile phone use at the wheel, but it's a different story. there are three of these systems currently being used across devon and cornwall�*s roads, so you can see the ai cameras pointing in both directions. and police are telling us that they're seeing some really shocking images. 109 children in front seats, unrestrained — some being cradled by adults who, in a front collision, are going to end up crushing their child. and that's got to be the most precious cargo you've got in your vehicle. and yet we've got strange scenes where the adult�*s wearing a seat belt and the child's not! in just over three weeks, 2,239 seat belt offences
7:18 am
were detected by the cameras on three a—roads across the region. and of these, 109 involved children. the guardians of the children involved will be visited by officers for safeguarding checks, and face a fine. with modern cars, with the warning systems that tell you if you haven't got your seat belt on — how are so many people not putting seat belts on? so our message is really clear — please, please, please put the seat belt on. we don't want to detect any seat belt offences, but it's worrying that it's that many. devon and cornwall are the first force in england and wales to use these ai cameras over a 12—month period, and they'll be moved every few weeks. developed in australia, the technology uses ai software to identify an offence, which is then reviewed three times by staff. this technology was first rolled out in australia at the end of 2019, and it's been extremely effective in changing driver behaviours and saving lives.
7:19 am
as well as hoping these cameras help drive safety messages home, adrian leask is calling for seat belt offences to be endorsable with penalty points — something seth echoes. it's not, like, a thing that should be taken lightly. seat belts do save lives. that night in may 2022, seth was a passenger in the back seat when the car he was in crashed at 80 miles an hour. all had been drinking, but the two wearing seat belts in the front were uninjured. i believe, myself, that if i was wearing a seat belt that i wouldn't have sustained such bad injuries. ithink, you know, i probably still would have been hurt a little bit but, you know, wearing a seat belt, it definitely would have changed things for me. tamsin melville, bbc news. we're joined now by calvin buckley, whose wife frankie and their unborn child were killed by a dangerous driver. he's alongside peter boulton, from transport for greater manchester. good to see you again, calvin. good

schools may teach suicide prevention as opposed to schools should teach it. it is nearly there. the ones we don't know is what the review has brought up. that is where we are at. we wanted to give the biggest encouragement we can to bridget phillipson and the team at the dfe to change the curriculum just very slightly to make suicide prevention a compulsory part of the curriculum. we all have permission to talk about the biggest killer of our young people. we have to do it. the biggest killer of under 35s in the country, the biggest killer of school age children. doing nothing about it is just silly. we have to do something. irate about it isjust silly. we have to do something.— about it isjust silly. we have to do something. we have been quite fortunate in _ do something. we have been quite fortunate in a _ do something. we have been quite fortunate in a way, _ do something. we have been quite fortunate in a way, we _ do something. we have been quite fortunate in a way, we have - fortunate in a way, we have witnessed what you have been doing right from the beginning, we have witnessed your shorts in all weathers! laughter we have seen that from time to time. one of the things presumably it is very hard for you to know is whether any of the work you have done, the

7:42 am
of competition with medals in a number of different events — but not always from those expected to deliver, asjoe lynskey reports. introducing great britain's first gold—medal—winners — a 19—year—old at her first games, and a former champion who's fought to be here. gold medallist — the women's 200 freestyle s5 — tully kearney. for tully kearney, there were times she thought she might not make the start line. last year, she suffered a serious head injury. it affected her training and her memory. her cerebral palsy made it harder to recover. and yet kearney was here, and in the lead at the turn. but it was a great turn from tully kearney, and that's taken her clear. in the 200 metre freestyle, she won silver in tokyo. this time, she was out to get the colour she's used to. it's going to be a great finish between these three, but it is going to be tully kearney. gold for great britain! for tully kearney, this gold came
7:43 am
from years of courage. poppy maskill was here at her debut paralympics. poppy maskill is leading by a body length... in the s14 class for intellectual impairments, in the 100 metre butterfly, maskill surged clear and kept in front of world record pace. poppy maskill to the wall. for the gold and indeed the world record in one... poppy says she'll celebrate with a new pair of golden crocs — she once owned more than 20 pairs. there were different colour medals for british athletes on day one. daphne schrager took silver in the three kilometre pursuit, and was handed her medal by the actorjackie chan. but the velodrome was the scene, too, for a more concerning moment. it hasn't gone according to plan. kadeena cox of great britain unable to finish her time—trial lap. in a year of challenges with her multiple sclerosis, she still wants to come back to race here on sunday. and at the paralympics, that's the typical approach —
7:44 am
this is the platform for the athletes who refuse to give up. joe lynskey, bbc news. so so many fantastic stories after just day one. so, a strong start for paralympicsgb. they currently sit second in the medal table behind china. sally hurstjoins us from paris. such a positive opening day and hopefully a promise of more to come on day two. hopefully a promise of more to come on day two-— on day two. yes, great britain got five medals _ on day two. yes, great britain got five medals in _ on day two. yes, great britain got five medals in total _ on day two. yes, great britain got five medals in total yesterday, i five medals in total yesterday, including a silver from tandem five medals in total yesterday, including a silverfrom tandem bike riders steve bates and his pilot chris latham in the four kilometre pursuit. they were beaten by a really strong dutch bike in the end. at 47, steve will be pretty pleased. he has two road events to go, as well. well i'd come in swimming, got the silver. he competes in the s14 category for athletes with intellectual impairments and he is just 18. speaking of youngsters,

14—year—old bly twomey got a bronze medal in the doubles with her partner at fliss pickard, she goes again in the mixed doubles, so more medals perhaps for her later today. other things to look out for, back in the velodrome, jody cundy, a legend of track cycling, goes in the kilo event, he has eight gold medals to his name. he got a silver in this eventin to his name. he got a silver in this event in tokyo and his mental health took a bit of a debt. he has worked really hard to come back strong. an appearance on strictly come dancing, as well, so he will be going for gold, as well. also beth munro in taekwondo, she will hope for a medal, as well. lots more to look forward to on day two of the paralympic games here in paris. 50 paralympic games here in paris. so much to keep your eyes on. away from paris, he has been compared to peter pan, remaining baby faced as ever at the crease.

joe root has equalled sir alastair cook's record of 33 test centuries. it puts the yorkshire batsman joint—top of the all—time record for test 100s for england. his innings undoubtedly the highlight of what was otherwise been a rather tricky day for england's top order after being put into bat by sri lanka on the first day of the second test at lord's. stand—in captain ollie pope again falling very cheaply. root, though, made his century after a nervous few moments stuck on 99. england closed on 358—7. over the course of the last two series in particular, it hasn't been as free—flowing as we would have liked. the situations and surfaces haven't always meant that we can go out there and blast it to all parts. but we've managed it really well, and we've found a way — when we get the chance to do it, we're still looking to try. and we're these stories... in football, larne — a small town 22 miles north of belfast — have made history by becoming the first irish league club ever to make the group stages of a european club competition.
7:47 am
and they weren't the only ones, celebrating a major milestone, as the new saints — a team who play in oswestry in shropshire — but play in the welsh league became the first domestic welsh club to reach the group stages of a major european competition. as for larne, they did it thanks to a hat—trick from andy ryan, which helped them defeat lincoln red imps — a team from gibraltar — 4—3 on aggregate. this was in the uefa conference league play—off. qualification will see larne receive approximately £2.6 million in participation money — like winning the lottery in irish league terms. and you can see what it means to them. no wonder, with the fans. brilliant. they'll further swell their coffers with media money, especially if they were to draw chelsea in the first round proper. chelsea lost on the night in switzerland, but went through on aggregate. there was a shock at the us open overnight as third seed carlos alcaraz was dumped out by botic van de zandschulp. the dutchman will face british number one jack draper next

7:50 am

swedish chef near notting hill carnival on monday. mussie imnetu was in london for businesses when he was attacked near queensway. he suffered head injuries and remains in a critical condition in hospital. 31—year—old omar wilson has been charged. a swimming pool in north west london where nine children and two adults were treated for a chlorine leak will remain closed until further notice. emergency services were called to the vale farm sports centre in sudbury yesterday afternoon. the bbc understands while most of the patients are not seriously unwell. three of the children may need to undergo further medical examinations. let's take a first look at how the tubes are running. there's a few issues this morning. the overground has no service between clapham junction and willesdenjunction, there's also minor delays between richmond and stratford, and the piccadilly line remains partly closed between wood green and cockfosters until sunday.
7:59 am
now the weather. and it's going to be another lovely day with plenty of sunshine. there's the chance of a some cloud, but it shouldn't hang around for long. top temperature of 24 degrees. that's it from me — more on the bbc news app and bbc radio london, where they are discussing things you miss from the 90s in the week oasis announced their return. i'll be back in half an hour.
8:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. the mother of 13—year old hannahjacobs, who died after a reaction to a shop—bought drink, tells breakfast that allergies need to be taken more seriously. we need to do something. we need to do better. - no mother, no parent, should be losing their kids like this. - it's not fair. us vice president kamala harris has given her first interview since becoming the democratic presidential nominee, defending her white house record and saying her values have not changed. we take a ride through this year's blackpool illuminations, where disco donkeys and space scenes are lighting up the promenade and so, sally can wait, as can everyone else for the delay to the ballot for oasis tickets due to huge demand. i'll tell you all you need to know.
8:01 am
and unusually, most parts of the uk not only dry today, but with reasonable amounts of sunshine too. will it last for the weekend? i will have the details. good morning. it's friday, the 30th august. our main story. the mother of a 13—year—old girl who died after a severe allergic reaction to a costa coffee hot chocolate, says she wants to make sure no other parent loses their child in the same way. abimbola duyile, whose daughter hannah died within hours of sipping the drink, is calling on the food industry to take allergy training more seriously, and says she lies awake at night thinking about whether she could have prevented her death. she's been talking to our reporter tim muffett. hannah was a bright child, funny, full of life. she loved doing tiktok, what any 13—year—old liked doing. she was like a big teddy bear. she loved to come to my bed and just give me a big cuddle. she loved her friends. she loved hanging out
8:02 am
with her friends. hannah had a severe dairy allergy. in february last year, when she was on her way to the dentist, her mum ordered two soya hot chocolates from a costa coffee in barking in east london. after one sip, that was it. she called me from the toilet and said, "that was not soya hot chocolate." she was shouting. she was screaming. it happened so quickly, at that point. a postmortem examination found that hannah died after an anaphylactic reaction triggered by an ingredient in her hot chocolate, which caused an allergic response. earlier this month, a coroner concluded there had been a failure of communication between coffee shop staff and hannah's mum abi, and a failure to follow processes
8:03 am
to discuss allergies. we need to do better. no mother, no parent, should be losing their kids like this. it's not fair. is there enough awareness about food allergies? no. i feel like they think they're just a bunch of fussy kids. the governmentjust need to do better. they need to start taking kids that's got allergies, seriously. if i'm asking for something, and i'm asking, what's in that?, all your staff should know what ingredient goes in everything. every single person — restaurant, coffee shops — need to know. following the death of natasha ednan—laperouse in 2016, after she had an allergic reaction to a pret a manger baguette, natasha's law was introduced in 2021. it requires foods pre—packaged on site to carry a full list of ingredients. the family of owen carey, who died in 2017 following an allergic reaction to chicken containing buttermilk,
8:04 am
are also campaigning for more law changes. owen's law would require restaurants and coffee shops to state, in writing, 14 major allergens at the point of ordering, without the customer having to ask. owen's family say uk allergen laws are flawed and outdated. the food standards agency says it's developing best practice guidance in relation to allergen information, which will be published early next year. what's your message to the government and to others who can make these types of decisions, given what you've been through? they should have a sticker on every single drink. so you would like clear stickers saying, this has got soya milk, this has got dairy milk... yes. ..so you know what's in it? everybody knows. let people know. the symptoms of someone having an allergic reaction? you'll be amazing. they can save a life. teach everybody how to use epipen. whether it's a kid, adult, i'm sure everybody doesn't know how to use it. in a statement, a costa coffee
8:05 am
spokesperson said... costa says it will continue to review staff training, and is working alongside the natasha allergy research foundation. she loved life. she'd be an amazing adult. hopefully, we can do something to make sure this does not happen to any other family. we will be having a discussion about allergies and what's being done in terms of prevention now and in terms of treatment, in about 15 minutes. six past eight. charlie, the us
8:06 am
presidential election looms. in the meantime we find out a lot more about the candidates. yes, in the early hours of the morning uk time, a significant interview. kamala harris has defended her political record in herfirst television interview since becoming the democratic nominee for us president. in the half—hour interview with cnn, she attacked her opponent donald trump. our correspondentjenny kumah has this report. cheering. a sign of confidence, campaigning with energy in the key battleground state of georgia. it's no wonder kamala harris is smiling. not long ago, underjoe biden, many thought the democrats' chances here were low. but opinion polls are now rising in herfavour. is it because you have more experience now...? herfirst tv interview since becoming the democratic nominee was a much bigger test. speaking to cnn, the vice president was challenged and how she has shifted her view on key policies, and defended her record on the border, something the republicans have frequently attacked her on.
8:07 am
we have laws that have to be followed and enforced, that address and deal with people who cross our border illegally, and there should be consequence. and let's be clear, in this race i am the only person who has prosecuted transnational criminal organisations trafficking guns, drugs and human beings. i'm the only person in this race who actually served a border state as attorney general to enforce our laws, and i would enforce our laws as president going forward. i recognise the problem. these responses have done little to extinguish republican claims that she has flip—flopped on major issues, with donald trump posting on his social media platform. boring, was his assessment. he also challenged harris' stance on policy positions. he said... "i look forward to debating comrade kamala harris and exposing herfor the fraud that she is. harris has changed every one of her long—held positions on everything. america will never allow
8:08 am
an election—weaponising marxist to be president of the us." i want to ask you about your opponent, donald trump. perhaps one of the most striking moments in the interview was ms harris' response to donald trump's questioning her race, as she gave her shortest answer. he suggested that you happened to turn black recently for political purposes, questioning a core part of your identity. yeah. same old tired playbook. next question, please! that's it? that's it! 0k. the democrats will be pleased that the interview was without any major mishaps. the next major test will be the tv debate in a couple of weeks with donald trump. an event that could have a major impact on the race to the white house. jenny kumah, bbc news, washington. untreated sewage has been discharged into rivers and streams that flow into windermere in the lake district
8:09 am
continuously for seven days. the water company, united utilities, said the overflows were designed to work during heavy rainfall, but campaigners say the system should have been able to cope with the recent weather. a series of weekend strikes by train drivers on london north eastern railway have been called off. members of the train drivers union, aslef, had planned to walk out every weekend until mid—november, over what the union said were broken agreements. a spokesperson for the union told the bbc that a resolution had now been reached. workers could be given the right to ask to work a four—day week, under government plans to encourage flexible working. employees would be able to condense their full—time hours into a shorter working week. the conservatives claim businesses were "petrified" about the plans, but ministers say they won't be imposed on businesses. the world health organization says israel and hamas have agreed to several pauses in fighting to allow polio vaccinations for more than 600,000 children in gaza. the move comes days after a baby
8:10 am
in gaza contracted the disease, the first case in the palestinian territory for 25 years. our middle east correspondent, yolande knell, is injerusalem. first of all, ever since they found traces of the polio virus in sewage water in gaza two months ago, the race has been on to stop this highly infectious disease from spreading, because look at the situation you have at the moment. because of the war the children have been missing out on the routine vaccinations. that is what happened to the first baby to have contracted polio in 25 years in gaza. and now you have people living in these insanitary, very crowded conditions, so the world health organization says what it has agreed is to have three—day localised pauses in three stages, so it can have the first stage of the
8:11 am
roll—out of its vaccination programme. this should start on sunday. at the same time we have got more international warnings that the war in gaza should not be allowed to spread to the west bank. that is with the israeli military continuing what it says is a counterterrorism organisation —— or operation for a third day now. palestinian officials have been coming out saying that what is happening is ratcheting up tensions and is very dangerous. the snp's autumn conference gets underway later. it comes just months after the party lost half a million votes and 39 seats in the general election, leaving it with nine mps at westminster. that bruising result is the first item on the party's conference agenda. our correspondent, andrew kerr, joins us now. good morning. this is a challenging time for the party. and i guess the issue of what went wrong will be the very first thing they talk about?
8:12 am
yes, that's right. we are inside of the venue now, inside the centre. this place is used to hosting a lot of performances during the edinburgh festival, but it is a very different kind of show that will be taking place today. as you say, the very first thing on the agenda at the snp's first thing on the agenda at the snp's conference, the disappointing general election performance. in 2019 they got 48 seats at westminster. now they have nine members of parliament. john swinney, the snp leader, will be in charge of that review, which is taking place just after ten o'clock. we will hear from various members. that is taking place behind closed doors. mr swinney is trying to put a positive spin on things. in an interview with or he tried to offer some hope. my message to the party conference will be that we are the party that can deliver hope and ambition for scotland, by setting out that our strong, financially viable and successful country, can do an awful
8:13 am
lot better as an independent country. and we've got to make that case to the people of scotland. we will do it by proving ourselves as an effective government that acts of the public interest in scotland and builds for the future. that is what will deliver the hope and ambition scotland requires today. so, a pretty bleak picture for the snp electorally. there is also a grim picture for the finances of the nation as well. there are big public spending cuts on the horizon. the finance secretary will set those out on tuesday. that will be a cause of concern for members here because it could make the party even more unpopular as we head towards the 2026 holyrood election. thank you. time to talk to matt to find out what is happening with the weather. you promised us sunshine
8:14 am
half an hour ago. and then this happens. what is happening? i happens. what is ha enin: ? ., happens. what is ha enin: ? . ., happens. whatishauenina? ., ., what is happening? i have not broken my promises. — what is happening? i have not broken my promises, honestly. _ what is happening? i have not broken my promises, honestly. good - what is happening? i have not broken i my promises, honestly. good morning. just to let you know, there are still some fog patches out there this morning. dense fog patches around. it is going to be a dry and sunny day for most. it is going to be a very pleasant morning when the fog patches have gone. a bit on the chilly side compared to recent mornings. down to around five or 6 degrees. the blue skies overhead will start to warm things up. get rid of the mist and fog. more cloud in the far north of scotland. a few showers pass through. the rest of the day largely dry, good sunny spells. enough of a breeze to keep temperatures in the mid—teens this afternoon. further south 80 degrees in glasgow and edinburgh. warmer still as we have lighter winds for
8:15 am
england and wales. —— 18 degrees. highs ofaround england and wales. —— 18 degrees. highs of around 20 to 2a celsius. once we have lost lease on the temperatures will take a plummet. some mist and fog patches in the west. most will have clear skies into tomorrow morning. three degrees into tomorrow morning. three degrees in the grampians, 16 towards the south east corner, humid conditions in the south. across northern areas this weekend lots of sunshine. more cloud on sunday. pleasant when the sun is with you. southern half of the uk increasingly humid. we could see more cloud, more breeze and a few showers and thunderstorms late saturday into sunday. thank you. 16 minutes past eight. we're going to look at the issue of a rise in food allergies. we saw earlier the case of 13—year old hannahjacobs, who died after having a severe allergic reaction to a shop—bought hot chocolate drink. a food allergy is when the immune system overreacts to items such as cows' milk, peanuts and shellfish.
8:16 am
latest research suggests they're becoming more common. imperial college london analysed the gp records of seven million patients in england, and found the number of people with a food allergy more than doubled during the ten years between 2008 and 2018. severe allergic reactions are known as anaphylaxis. they can cause swelling of the airways and cardiac arrest and need to be treated with adrenalin. only around a third of people with a food allergy carry auto—injector pens. of those who'd already had a severe reaction, 50% of children and 31 percent of adults had a repeat prescription for adrenaline. the mother of 13—year—old hannahjacobs says allergy training for staff working in retail and hospitality needs to improve. allergy is like death. any little thing, when you have an allergy, you don't know what is going to happen next. it takes a second for it.
8:17 am
everybody needs to know about it, that's it. a very serious condition. we mustjust call it a disease at this point. because kids are dying from this. i really don't think any parent should be losing a child this way. i don't think any parent should be losing kids, full stop. because that is our future. and we are here crying over our kids. it's not right. something needs to be done about it. everybody needs to change their ways. i pray the government are listening to this and they are like, 0k, we need to do something about this. let people know the symptoms of somebody having an allergic reaction, it'll be amazing. they can save a life. teach everybody how to use and epipen. whether it's a kid, adult, i'm sure everybody doesn't know how to use it. if there is a sign of someone having an allergic reaction and you know it, and you know you can use and epipen on them, it would be amazing.
8:18 am
theyjust need to know about it. everybody needs to be aware of it. it's a serious, serious thing. we're joined now by amena warnerfrom allergy uk. good morning. that story is shocking. all of our sympathies with her mother. she has spoken so openly under the reason she is doing that is because she wants people to be more aware and that is very much what you are about as well. there is a reality check here. i know the epipen is with you and i know there are other brands and a number... actually, the term furthermore generally is adrenaline autoinjectors. i think a lot of people, i have never had occasion to use and epipen on somebody in that situation. i think for a lot of people they are caught in that moment, they would maybe he a little
8:19 am
worried, a little concerned they would do the right thing, what to do, how to do it. that is a real thing, isn't it?— do, how to do it. that is a real thing, isn't it? yeah. people who hold these _ thing, isn't it? yeah. people who hold these epipens, _ thing, isn't it? yeah. people who hold these epipens, a _ thing, isn't it? yeah. people who hold these epipens, a lot - hold these epipens, a lot of them don't know how to use it. they feared because there is a needle. and so maybe they are not carrying them, they are not using them. some of them are not in date. we need to address all those type of things. it's really important that people do know how to use it because we are seeing situations where people are having anaphylactic reactions in the community. doctors and nurses are used to having training in hospitals for anaphylaxis and very rarely people die of anaphylaxis in the hospitals because nurses and doctors are trained and we have adrenaline on all of our resuscitation trolleys

8:21 am
have had that diagnosis removed, if they have been assessed that they are at risk, they should always carry the adrenaline autoinjector and carry two. for carry the adrenaline autoin'ector and carry mi carry the adrenaline autoin'ector and carry two. for children and for adults? for— and carry two. for children and for adults? for both. _ and carry two. for children and for adults? for both. my _ and carry two. for children and for adults? for both. my question - and carry two. for children and for i adults? for both. my question when he was about _ adults? for both. my question when he was about the _ adults? for both. my question when he was about the re-prescription. i adults? for both. my question when he was about the re-prescription. a| he was about the re—prescription. a lot of people think it is hassle to get re—prescribed. people might think they have not needed it for years and the one i have got is three years out of date and stuck in the draw, why should i bother? firstly, if it is three years out of date that needs to be addressed. we need to have them in data because over time adrenaline does degrade. so it needs to be in date. that should go _ so it needs to be in date. that should go in — so it needs to be in date. that should go in the _ so it needs to be in date. that should go in the bin _ so it needs to be in date. that should go in the bin or- so it needs to be in date. that should go in the bin or be disposed? yeah. we need to get people into the mindset, if they haven't had to use the autoinjector they have been very lucky, which is great. it means they are doing all the right things to safeguard themselves, especially when we talk about food allergy,
8:22 am
because we have to eat to live and we have to eat a number of times. when they go out of the house and they go into social situations, restaurants, they are putting their lives in other people's hands. i know you have got two of the devices there. conjure a scenario for us. so people understand. you know this very well. lots of people won't. so you are in a place like this, any workplace, and you think somebody is in a serious way as a result of a serious allergy reaction, they have an epipen with them, what do you do? the person who is there on the scene thinking, i don't know what to do now. ~ ., ., ,, thinking, i don't know what to do now. ~ ., ., thinking, i don't know what to do now. . . ., ~ thinking, i don't know what to do now. ~ ., ., . , thinking, i don't know what to do now. ~ ., ., . y g, now. what do you do? well, first of all, a now. what do you do? well, first of all. a serious _ now. what do you do? well, first of all, a serious allergic— now. what do you do? well, first of all, a serious allergic reaction - all, a serious allergic reaction often happens very suddenly, so the person becomes very ill, very quickly. so they could start off with very mild reactions, but they quickly deteriorate. so always
8:23 am

a three—day strike by border force agents at heathrow airport begins tomorrow. the pcs union says the dispute, which began in april, is over the introduction of "inflexible rosters". it's not expected to cause serious disruption for travellers. tower hamlets council has given the go—ahead for more than 1,300 homes and a new secondary school on the former westferry printworks site in east london. councillors approved the controversial scheme earlier this week. let's take a look at how the tubes are running. the overground has no service between clapham junction and willesdenjunction, and there's also minor delays between richmond and stratford. and the piccadilly line remains partly closed between wood green and cockfosters until sunday. now the weather with sophia. good morning. we've enjoyed fine and dry weather over the last couple of days, and that will continue through today. we've got plenty of sunshine,
8:31 am
and it's feeling warm, as well, but it's all change as we look to next week. we've got an area of low pressure building in, and that's going to bring more unsettled weather conditions our way — we could have some thundery showers through sunday evening. but through today we've got plenty of sunshine and a bright start for many, with clear skies, a little bit of fair—weather cloud bubbling up through the day, but still feeling warm — temperatures at around 2a celsius. the wind changes to more of an easterly, so it could be a little bit breezy at times. through the night, though, we've got clear skies for many, a little bit of patchy cloud in places, and where there is cloud it is going to be milder — temperatures between around 12 and 16 celsius to start the day. now, through saturday you could catch a shower — it could be quite sharp if you do — but for most of us it's going to be largely dry with plenty of sunshine. so a fine weekend ahead of us once again. more humid on sunday, though, and we could have some thunderstorms. more unsettled into next week. that's it from me — more on the bbc news app and bbc radio london, where they are discussing things you miss from the '90s in the week

oasis announced their return. i'll be back in half an hour. hello, you're watching breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. the parents of a 15—year—old schoolgirl who was killed in a brutal knife attack in northumberland has described how her death has impacted their family. a 17—year—old boy has been found guilty of murdering holly newton in the town of hexham last january. her mother and step—father have been talking to our reporter alison freeman — a warning that there are details in this report that viewers may find distressing. it's a bit like a movie. do you know when you just see flashbacks of things? and i remember leejust got out of the car and ran. seen the paramedics working on holly, and came back out
8:33 am
and told her, "you don't go down there. it's not something you want to see, or need to see." how was that for you, though, to see her like that? it's going to haunt us for the rest of my life. holly newton was a funny, sociable 15—year—old who loved to dance and wanted to become a dance teacher. on friday 27th of january last year, she'd finished school and gone into hexham to spend time with herfriends. but the 15—year—old didn't know that, as she walked around the northumberland town, she was being followed by a 16—year—old boy she knew. after tracking her for 45 minutes, the teenager made himself known to her outside of a pizza shop. less than 15 minutes later, he was attacking her with a knife in the alleyway next to it.
8:34 am
another boy attempted to stop him. the boy tried to help holly by running into the alleyway, grabbing her attacker, and putting him in a headlock, but he was stabbed four times in the leg and the shoulder. the injuries holly received, however, were catastrophic. injust one minute, she suffered 36 injuries. she was stabbed 12 times, suffered 19 slash wounds, and had five further wounds to her hands where she tried to defend herself. the attack was so brutal and sustained that the knife broke during it, and it only ended when passers—by ran in and intervened. emergency services arrived quickly, and holly was taken to hospital. the consultant came in and he said, "we're getting specialists from other hospitals, we're going to get fluid into her, we're going to get blood into her." um, and then literally,
8:35 am
i don't know how long it was, but it didn't seem like very long, he came in and he said, "basically, there's nothing else we can do for her." um... it's awful. it's just because that was the hardest thing to hear. you're constantly telling yourself, it's ok, she's not...she's not dead. um... you have hope, right? you have hope. yeah. which is normal. yeah. until somebody tells you that your child is gone, you always have that little bit of hope. kind of like, it can't happen to me, though, it wouldn't happen to me. this happens to other people, it doesn't happen to me. the court heard the boy — who is now 17 and can't be named because of his age — accepted that he stabbed holly, and admitted manslaughter. but he denied murder, claiming his mind had gone
8:36 am
blank during the attack. he also told the court that he'd been carrying the knife — that he'd taken from his home — for more than a week, on and off, because he'd planned to hurt himself with it, and not holly. but the jury at newcastle crown court didn't believe him. they found him guilty of holly's murder. the night before she died, the defendant had turned up at her home in haltwhistle, so her mum had set up a meeting with the police for the friday afternoon, a meeting holly never got to attend. they agreed to come out at four o'clock on the friday, so i told holly, and she'd said, um... "but i was supposed to be going out with my friends tonight." and she'd begged me for a good... ..i don't know, half an hour, 45 minutes, "but, mam, i want to go out, i want to go out." and in the end — biggest mistake of my life — i'd agreed. giving evidence in court, the defendant admitted he'd
8:37 am
become angry with holly, which is why he stabbed her. but he later claimed he'd only said this because he wanted the trial to end. chilling cctv captured the moments before the defendant persuaded holly to go into the alleyway with him. it's soul—destroying, just watching it. it is torture. it's like watching a horror movie where you know the ending, but you can't change it. and your mind almost plays tricks on you. well, it did for me. it's like, well, she's there, though. she's there. like, i can see her alive. but obviously then it hits you like a brick wall again because she's not. that report from alison freeman. thank you to them for sharing their story. we thank you to them for sharing their sto . ~ ., thank you to them for sharing their sto . ~ . , ., ., story. we will get an update from matt about _ story. we will get an update from matt about the _ story. we will get an update from matt about the long-range - story. we will get an update from i matt about the long-range forecast matt about the long—range forecast for the next few days but in the

8:39 am
played live was 2009. this footage from our bbc shropshire colleague carlie swain who's hoping to see them again next year. yesterday three extra dates were added to the ones already confirmed in manchester, london and edinburgh — and the two in cardiff. the only confirmed international dates so far are both in dublin. tickets will cost between £73 for standard up to £500 for premium seats. the general sale starts tomorrow morning at 9am — and an hour earlier in ireland — so set a reminder now. but there will be a pre—sale process — with access via a ballot. applications to enter it closed on wednesday night — although huge demand meant a delay in some fans getting confirmation of their entry — via an email with a link to click on to verify they want to join the ballot.
8:40 am
those emails are still being sent out this morning, and you'll need to have clicked the link to confirm your entry by 10am today. people drawn in the ballot will then be sent details about the pre—sale by 5pm today. it's not yet clear when that starts or how many tickets will be available. but it will be first come, first served — so even then there's no guarantee of getting a ticket. we've spoken to two oasis superfans who've seen the band nearly 50 times between them — about how they're preparing. there were many good hands out there, but not like oasis, you know? they've just got something about them. so i will try anything i can to get tickets. um, i want to go two times if possible next year, to see them twice. um, once ideally with our son. if we can get the suitable seating that — you know, tickets where you can take kids under 12. um, if not, then he will have a night with grandma and paul and i will go —
8:41 am
my husband and i will go. so one way or the other, you know, we'll go see them. don't think this is "if you don't| get in this time, you're gone", so i'm relatively relaxed about it. although come... when we pass 9:00 or whatever time they officially go _ on sale for the pre—sale, . i do think it'll be a little bit of a short—term panic station. but the reality is that you've just got to remain calm - and hope for the best, and i'm sure it'llall. be fine in the end. let's speak now to consumer affairs expert harry kind from which?. i was going through the details of the ticket application process, particularly the ballot for the presale. why is it so complicated? well, these are basically hurdles they have put in place to stop touts from buying up hundreds of tickets to then resell at a massive profit margin so we are seeing the general knowledge question about oasis rolling there, peaceable details and as he was a series of confirmation e—mails. it makes it a bit confusing —— personal details. it should stop

8:43 am
it might not work. but those scammers will be coming at you via social media, 90% of fake tickets end up being sold on platforms like facebook, so be very wary of buying anything from social media, even if you think you know the person. so thatis you think you know the person. so that is social media, what about official resale sites both for people wanting to get tickets that people wanting to get tickets that people are offering up but also if people are offering up but also if people have decided that, actually, they cannot make it or, i don't know, they decide they don't like oasis after el.— oasis after el. they have done a really good _ oasis after el. they have done a really good thing, _ oasis after el. they have done a really good thing, they - oasis after el. they have done a really good thing, they have - oasis after el. they have done a | really good thing, they have said there are two official resale platforms and they will be twickets and ticketmaster's fan to fan system and ticketmaster's fan to fan system and if you are reselling a ticket because you cannot get a baby—sitter for that night you can only sell it at face value plus booking fees and so they will not be some kind of profit making industry here. that is really good. we will, though, see plenty of tickets for sale on other platforms and i would just be very wary of buying those because they might be invalidated but they also
8:44 am
may well be fake. if you are going to risk getting those resale ones that are not through twickets or ticketmaster, i would say make sure you get them from some kind of platform like stubhub rather than buying one at the pub. we platform like stubhub rather than buying one at the pub.— platform like stubhub rather than buying one at the pub. we have seen uuite a lot buying one at the pub. we have seen quite a lot of— buying one at the pub. we have seen quite a lot of gigs _ buying one at the pub. we have seen quite a lot of gigs cancel— buying one at the pub. we have seen quite a lot of gigs cancel this - buying one at the pub. we have seen quite a lot of gigs cancel this year - quite a lot of gigs cancel this year amid security concerns, venues not venues not being ready. someonejumped on our amid security concerns, venues not being ready. someonejumped on our facebook page about what happens if facebook page about what happens if the brothers fall out before then the brothers fall out before then and the gigs don't happen? it is and the gigs don't happen? it is the brothers fall out before then and the gigs don't happen? it is 11 months, anything _ and the gigs don't happen? it is 11 months, anything could _ and the gigs don't happen? it is 11 the brothers fall out before then and the gigs don't happen? it is 11 months, anything _ and the gigs don't happen? it is 11 months, anything could _ and the gigs don't happen? it is 11 months, anything could happen! ij months, anything could happen! ij months, anything could happen! i would say, if there is a months, anything could happen! i would say, if there is a cancellation, your rights, if you cancellation, your rights, if you have bought through the primary have bought through the primary seller, but this yourself, if there seller, but this yourself, if there is a cancellation you get that money is a cancellation you get that money back because this has not happened. back because this has not happened. i think there is a chance that one much. if for any reason they do pull| i think there is a chance that one of them dropped out, at which point of them dropped out, at which point you say, is this oasis i am seeing, you say, is this oasis i am seeing, if they carry on playing? i am if they carry on playing? i am pretty sure in that case you will pretty sure in that case you will not be to get your money back. as i not be to get your money back. as i said, there is that retail market said, there is that retail market and you will not have a hard time and you will not have a hard time selling these tickets on if you selling these tickets on if you cannot attend.— cannot attend.—
