6:01 am
to achieve that feat here at wimbledon and later today andy murray will be trying to join her in the last four. donald trump's son denies telling his father anything about a meeting with a russian lawyer thought to be part of a campaign to help him get elected. it was such a nothing. there was nothing to tell. i wouldn't have even remembered it until you start scouring through the stuff. it was literally a wasted 20 minutes, which isa literally a wasted 20 minutes, which is a shame. it is the british grand prix this weekend, so i am at trafalgar square with a lot of good—looking cars to find out about the future of formula 1 find out about the future of formula i technology and manufacturing in the uk and finding out how much of this technology trickles down into the cars we drive. and carol has the weather. good morning. we've had some
6:02 am
torrential rain in the southern half of the uk in the past 12 hours. that's making its way out into the north sea and behind it there will be some residual cloud, but for most of the uk and wimbledon today it will be dry, sunny and pleasantly warm. we'll be back with more later in the programme. good morning. first, our main story. mps will debate the inquiry into the devastating fire at grenfell tower, four weeks on since the tragedy. labour has criticised what it calls the government's "chaotic" response. tonight, the community will come togetherfor a vigil to honour those who lost their lives in the blaze, as sarah smith reports. four weeks of grief and shock, of searching for loved ones and searching for loved ones and searching for loved ones and searching for answers. tonight, in the shadow of grenfell‘s lakh in shell, a vigil to remember those who died. at least 80 lost their lives, say police. the task of searching
6:03 am
for mains will continue for many months. one of those who escaped the burning tower is antonio, who lived on the 10th floorfor 27 burning tower is antonio, who lived on the 10th floor for 27 years. his son, christopher, was returning home when he saw the flames and rang his dad to wake him. he told me, wake up, address and get out of there because the tower is burning. the smoke was very thick, very horrible smell, obviously. very warm. isaid there was no way i could get out there. someone has to rescue me. he would be led to safety by firefighters. the questions over what happened here started before the flames were even out. similar cladding on more than 200 other buildings has since failed safety test. labour has called for the process to be sped up, saying the government has been too slow both in helping grenfell residence and making sure other blocks are safe. later today there will be a debate
6:04 am
in parliament over the enquiry to be held into the fire. for weeks on and the real business of finding answers feels as though it is onlyjust getting started. johanna konta is into the semi—finals of wimbledon. she's gone further in the singles than any british woman for nearly a0 years. konta is now the bookies' favourite for the title, but standing in her way tomorrow will be venus williams. ben croucher was watching yesterday's action. it's hard to think thatjohanna konta had only one one match before at wimbledon. now, after a nerve shredding victory, she is two wins from the title. i've always believed in my own ability and i've always dreamt big. but i don't give myself too much time to dream and more focus on the work. as is often the
6:05 am
british way on centre court, she did it the hard way. she lost the first set on a tie—break against the second seed, not playing badly, she just needed to find a winning combination. her eye on a powerful serve and a booming backhand seemed as good a ploy as any. to decide we went. anaconda credits much of her rise up the rankings to the work on the mental side of the game and under this pressure could see it into her. —— into her racket. inside they tried to raise the roof. 0utside they tried to make themselves heard through it. konta has captured the nation. the first british woman into the final since 1978. konta winning over new fans and a few older ones as well. what a lovely way to end the day and it was excellent. i was following it on the train, trying to get a signal my phone, and it kept out. i was listening to it on the radio, which is equally as exciting. fantastic. sally and carol are both at wimbledon for us today. sally will be joined a little later by tim henman to discuss
6:06 am
andy murray's chances in his quarterfinal match against sam querrey. that'll be at one o'clock this afternoon. when i will be on the train again, trying to do the same. news from america this morning. president trump's eldest son has said he didn't tell his father about a meeting last year with a russian lawyer, who was apparently offering to help the trump election campaign. yesterday, donald trumer released e—mails which showed he was keen to see what incriminating material the lawyer was prepared to offer on mr trump's election rival, hillary clinton. 0ur north america correspondent david willis sent this report. the e—mails feature an exchange between donald trump the e—mails feature an exchange between donald trumer the e—mails feature an exchange between donald trump jr and the e—mails feature an exchange between donald trumer and the british publicist. early in the thread the journalist that he can broker a meeting with russian who says has damaging information about hillary clinton, information which would be useful for your father.
6:07 am
e—mail continues... donald trump junior replied donald trumpjunior replied simply: in retrospect i probably would have done things differently. again, this is before russiamania. for me this was opposition research site wanted to hear it out. nowhere was it apparent that this is what the meeting was about. president trump has been largely silent on the issue, saying only that his son was a high—quality person and that he applauded his transparency, but the apparent eagerness of donald trump jr apparent eagerness of donald trump tho apparent eagerness of donald trump jr to accept a russian offer of help with his father's campaign has left the lawmakers of both parties deeply concerned. did you tell your father anything about this? it was such a nothing. there was nothing to tell. imean, i nothing. there was nothing to tell. i mean, iwouldn't nothing. there was nothing to tell. i mean, i wouldn't have even remembered it until you start scouring through the stuff. it was
6:08 am
literally a wasted 20 minutes, which was ashamed. the fact that donald trump's son—in—law was also present at the meeting at trump tower only adds the concern here. now a senior adviser to the president, some say it is another sign of how keen the trump campaign was for information about its presidential rival. president trump travels to france today, anxious no doubt to escape the impression that his is an illustration under siege. —— administration. face—to—face bullying is considerably more common than cyber—bullying among english teenagers. that's according to a new academic study of more than 110,000 15—year—olds. researchers from the university of oxford say nearly a third of those surveyed were being bullied regularly. a charity says every household in the uk should get a one—off rebate of £285 on its energy bills, because providers have been making excessive profits at the expense of its customers.
6:09 am
citizens advice says companies managing gas and electricity grids have been charged too much by 0fgem. but 0fgem and energy providers are disputing the claim. lloyds banking group says from november it's scrapping all fees and charges for overdrafts that haven't been agreed. customers will be charged a single rate of 1p per day for every £7 customers will be charged a single rate of 1p per day for every e7 of planned use of their overdraft. they say it will help customers to budget, rather than being hit by a bigger bill weeks later. if you usually go to bed late or wake up at the crack of dawn every morning, your ancestors could be to blame. blame your forefathers! a study from scientists in the united states suggests different sleep patterns may have been an advantage in the distant past, when we lived and slept in groups and needed someone to keep watch at all times
6:10 am
of the day and night. that is why you are up at 6:10 a.m.! welcome and good morning. thank you for joining welcome and good morning. thank you forjoining us. it was the most watched video on youtube until now. what is it? gangnam style has been the site's most—played clip for the last five years. it was viewed over 2 billion times. the song has now been overtaken by and other music video. it is all music videos at the top! wiz khalifa and charlie puth‘s see you again. may be because we are playing it now it will put it back at the top! great to hear that again, a? it will put it back at the top! great to hearthat again, a? —— hey?
6:11 am
what a night it was. early evening. johanna konta has nerves of steel and sally can talk to us about all of that. andy murray is on later as well. she has done brilliantly, hasn't she? she is so cool. cool as a cucumber. under pressure yesterday, i think probably more pressure than we have seen before and she reacted really ugly. she has and she reacted really ugly. she has a process that she now works with. twin each point she has a moment to herself, little bit of a shuffle, a head nod and then she takes the next point, then sticks to it and she does it again. if she loses it, never mind, then she does it again and she repeated and it works for her! but it was a nailbiter. shouting at the television again last night. lots of that —— the
6:12 am
papers have brilliant pictures. the chelsea pensioners took a great picture of her yesterday. the first thing i'm going to say is don't chelsea pensioners look young? that was her coming off the court yesterday. she didn't go wild and celebrate hugely, but she did stop and happy few selfies taken for a great story here. this is from novak djokovic. they say the grass is not a lwa ys djokovic. they say the grass is not always greener on the court. he was complaining about the state of centre court and the grass that he saysis centre court and the grass that he says is not up to scratch. he wasn't happy. he wanted to play after the failed adult you the day but he didn't. he said the conditions aren't great. at the head groundsman says they are as good as they can be and they were constantly to make them as smooth as surface as they can possibly do. the players are complaining about the balance of the ball, that sort of thing. let's have a look if we can see... that's half
6:13 am
off konta's selfie. and here we have a fantastic story. jamie murray went through in the mixed doubles. this isa through in the mixed doubles. this is a story about him and tina hingis and how they are paying through the tournament about simply having fun. —— martina hingis. but they seem to be having a fantastic time and the match last night was fantastic. great watching them on television and even better in person, i would imagine, because you were there! you we re imagine, because you were there! you were there with jamie's mother. judy murray is my friend and it was brilliant. even more brilliant to see them win. i love the way they play together, after every point, win or lose, they always touched their hands. a bit like as! when we play doubles. badly. ican't their hands. a bit like as! when we play doubles. badly. i can't even see the ball! what an atmosphere. it was great. but the weather, we were
6:14 am
so was great. but the weather, we were so lucky yesterday. by the end of the day it was a monsoonal rain we had in southern parts of england and wales. that's clearing. you can probably see behind me we still have cloud around, but forecast for wimbledon today is dry. by the time play gets under way we will have some sunshine coming through and with light readers it will feel pleasant. the sun beating down by the time we get to 5pm. look at the temperatures, still at about 22. through the evening, again, remaining dry. for most of the uk today that the forecast. dry, with sunny spells. cloudy where you are at the moment. don't be disappointed, the sunshine is coming. i9am disappointed, the sunshine is coming. i 9am in southern england we have the residual cloud and further north it is the same in east anglia. heading to the north midlands, into the sunshine. the same as we move across scotland. chilly, but some sunshine and a little bit of cloud.
6:15 am
the northern ireland is a chilly start for you under clear skies, but also sunny. across the irish sea, backin also sunny. across the irish sea, back in the north—west england and wales, again a beautiful start. the camera to picking up nicely in the sunshine. southwest england, similar to the rest of england. we have some residual cloud, as we do further east in the south midlands and southern counties, back towards kent and east anglia. through the day the cloud on the south rakes up and we have sunshine developing. lengthy sunny spells for much of the uk. 0n the east coast it will be a little bit fresher. temperatures about 14— 16 celsius. the top temperature today likely to be about 23 in london and further west we are likely to have temperatures in the high teens and into the low 20s. maybe 21 towards plymouth. through the evening and overnight again a lot of dry weather around. in the
6:16 am
south there could be patchy fog. fairly isolated. in the north, for northern england, northern ireland and scotland, in the shelter we could have temperatures low enough for a touch of frost. we start on a chilly note tomorrow, but of course under clear skies there will be sunshine around. through the day we have scattered showers developing. across england, wales and scotland we may not catch one. then later in the day more showers come in and that will move steadily southwards, getting into northern england, either time we get to the evening. in the sunshine it will feel pleasant. 0n in the sunshine it will feel pleasant. on friday we will have residual showers in the east to clear, but eastern areas will remain dry and sunny again. at times more cloud in the west, but still not bad. if you like your temperatures higher, in the south on sunday and become the wimbledon we have them climbing back up into the high 20s. so we've had the heavy rain that
6:17 am
some of us wanted and now we're settling down again. we certainly did. good news for the garden. thank you, carol. it's 06:17 and you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: a month on from the devastating grenfell tower fire, mps will debate the inquiry set up to look into the tragedy, later today. johanna konta becomes the first british female wimbledon semifinalist full nearly a0 years. —— for nearly. semifinalist full nearly a0 years. -- for nearly. she is on the front pages. she is on all the front pages, absolutely. the front page of the daily express, glory tojohanna konta as she storms into the semifinals. you were watching on your phone and i was listening on the radio. she has nerves of steel.
6:18 am
that tiebreak, absolutely brilliant. the main story on the express is about the european union, they can whistle for our money, according to borisjohnson. yesterday he told eu chiefs to go whistle if they expect britain to hand over a punishing brexit divorce bill. an interesting story on the front of the ft. the trump is heading to paris in the next couple of days, when he will meet with president emmanuel macron. —— donald trump. they will have a look to talk about, because either paris or los angeles will be —— because paris and los angeles will because paris and los angeles will be hosting the epics and 202a and 2028, but we don't know which will get which year. a knowing wink from emmanuel macron pernickety 0lympic logo. —— beneath the olympic logo.l mixed bag full pages today. the daily mirror have a story about a mother seemed she was sterilised she gave birth. the simon have a story about tables, outside tables that
6:19 am
people are concerned about, saying they are exploding after being in they are exploding after being in the sunshine. —— the sun. argos is investigating that. the daily mail has a picture ofjohanna konta on the front page as well, looking absolutely fantastic stop she has some so absolutely fantastic stop she has some so well. they are talking about what they are calling abuse that tory mps have been given. you wonder about that extra pressure that comes with now getting into the semifinals tojohanna with now getting into the semifinals to johanna konta. it strikes me that she can cope, she isjust to johanna konta. it strikes me that she can cope, she is just brilliant. let's go one day at a time. the daily telegraph, that story about donald trump's sun, donald trump daily telegraph, that story about donald trump's sun, donald trumer, facing and investigations —— russian trees and investigations. and the times has stories about the royal navy sending ships to the mediterranean to confront the larger ships which are bringing migrants across the sea, which is actually
6:20 am
counter—productive. they say that although they are targeting the bigger ships and trying to get the people smugglers out of the way, thatis people smugglers out of the way, that is forcing many migrants onto smaller and less seaworthy boats and putting lives in danger. the guardian, they have a story about tobacco. big tobacco companies and what they are doing with the african market. spot the leopard, they say in the sun. you have to look really quickly. you can see a tree, particular very closely, in that close—up, against the berks, flat as you like, against the tree, a vertical leopard. —— against the bark. the clue is in the other three, because it has hidden its food. an upsidedown gazelle. it is probably a bit early for breakfast. it is 6:20 a.m.. taking you back to
6:21 am
one of our main stories over the last few weeks, it is four weeks ago today that a tragedy unfolded at g re nfell tower. we now know more than 80 people died and hundreds more lost their homes in the blaze. the trauma has had a huge impact on the community, particularly on the children who live in the area. breakfast‘s graham satchell has been to see how they're coping in the aftermath of that night. in sight of grenfell tower, fun and laughter. this is kids on the green, a safe space where children are encouraged to be children. football is really fun. there is lots of food. it is really fun overall. the first week was pretty hard, then it got a bit easier, after a few weeks, and then when this started happening, you come here and it distracts you a lot. kids on the green is run by volunteers.
6:22 am
teachers,, entertainers and even headdresses. children can play and be supported, and parents can get some respite. i've got to boys and an oldergirl some respite. i've got to boys and an older girl who is 13. and a couple of her friends were in the tower. so she has been really affected by it and upset. it is hard to know that some of the neighbours, some of the children that my kids we re some of the children that my kids were friends with, i no longer with us. were friends with, i no longer with us. and the building being right there in our faces, us. and the building being right there in ourfaces, it us. and the building being right there in our faces, it doesn't help. so being in this space, it helps us to forget. we look forward to having it the next day. one month after the fire, the impact on some of the children is only now starting to show. the last week, some of the symptoms have become more severe. we find that a lot of kids have been scared to go to bed, they have in scared to go to bed, they have in scared to go to bed, they have in scared to go to sleep. so we are giving parents lots of tactical support in resetting those routines and making their children feel safe.
6:23 am
everybody likes to have fun. this is the grenfell tower. just do hope that all the residents who live there are really, like, that they are ok and that they are just, um, getting lovely treatments and everybody can help get their new home. in the past tense, children can paint anything they want. most of them draw the tower. —— the art tent. we have a team of art therapists on site, so children are drawing disturbing pictures they are supported. perhaps they might want to talk. it is very sad that so many children witnessed it. such widespread sadness and horror. all the children here have witnessed unimaginable horror. we asked for a show of hands for those who knew
6:24 am
someone show of hands for those who knew someone who had died. this isjust the beginning of the healing process. but we know that the healing is going to take years. it is going to take a very long time. it will take time. but kids on the green is a chance to escape, to play, to be normal and forget. it is still hard to get your head around that, isn't it? for weeks on, seeing how they are coping. we will be speaking to a resident about that later as well. you are watching brea kfast. later as well. you are watching breakfast. still to come, it is the british grand prix this weekend, but behind every car was a top team of engineers. nicolette is taking a look at the future for the motor racing industry in the uk this morning. good morning. good morning. i have managed to squeeze myself into one of these
6:25 am
formula 1 cars, and believe me, it isn't easy. it took me a good ten minutes to get into one of these ca rs. minutes to get into one of these cars. you might have to bury me in it. i'm not getting out that easily. iam here it. i'm not getting out that easily. i am here to find out about the future of formula 1, manufacturing and pettitt. it is the british grand prix this weekend. lots of questions about the future of silverstone. i will be finding out more about that through the programme, as was the fa ct through the programme, as was the fact that seven out of ten men formula 1 teams are based here in the uk. that has an impact on all kinds of manufacturing here in the uk, and of course our regular car industry. this kind of technology has a trickle—down impact into all kinds of areas of our manufacturing sector. so i will be finding out much more about that through the programme. thankfully i will also be getting a bit of expert tuition from somebody who, to be honest, knows more about driving one of these than me. you will probably recognise a familiarface, me. you will probably recognise a familiar face, appearing at me. you will probably recognise a familiarface, appearing at some stage. i will be having a chat
6:26 am
probably in about half an hour with a man who knows a lot about formula 1.i a man who knows a lot about formula 1. iwill a man who knows a lot about formula 1. i will be finding out his views not just about the manufacturing sector, but also the future of silverstone and what that will mean for the industry and for the technology that is based in all of these cars. but for now, it is time to find out about the news, weather and sport where you are. hello. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield. the head of one of the city's biggest employers has told the bbc that brexit could easily mean thousands of his staff lose theirjobs in london. jamie dimon from the bankjp morgan said there was no question that europe had more cards at the negotiating table and could "dictate" the movement ofjobs. it's understood the majority could be resettled in dublin, frankfurt or luxembourg. you have to to be responsible. we
6:27 am
would like to keep all of our will in london, but a hard brexit means we have to do certain things. you have seen countries are doing that they want their data centres in the country. that will be part of the trade negotiation, and we don't know the outcome. we hope it is great for the outcome. we hope it is great for the people of written but we don't know the outcome. a large fire has ripped through weybridge community hospital in surrey. last night fire crews were called to the blaze at the building, which houses a walk—in centre that is only open during the daytime. it is now under control. nobody was hurt at parts of the high street now closed. a controversial artist has defended his work which profiles some of london's rough sleepers. kristian von hornsleth has installed tracking devices on homeless men who sleep on the capital's streets. their live movements can then be watched by people who purchase an app. some homeless charities have been sceptical but the artist says his work is aimed at challenging the concepts of exploitation. let's have a look
6:28 am
at the travel situation now. a good service on all tube lines at the moment. looking at the roads, this is the view of trafalgar square. extensive road closures in the area from mid— until midnight for formula 1 live. that is also affecting some bus routes. stations will remain open. 0xford affecting some bus routes. stations will remain open. oxford street is closed eastbound from oxford circus because of a burst water main. bosses are being diverted. that ta kes bosses are being diverted. that takes us to a check on the weather. hello. a slightly unpromising start to the day today, but we will start to the day today, but we will start to see improvements. the cloud and rain giving way to some sunshine, so a gradual brightening up as we move through the day. tonight we will see the tail end of that rain clearing out, so some outbreaks of light rain and drizzle, but as we move through the day we start to gradually see some brightness and some sunshine later in the day. 12 patches of cloutier and they are, but warm in the sunshine with highs of 22 celsius. through this evening, later spells of sunshine and then
6:29 am
overnight we will see a dry night. patchy cloud around, but plenty of clear skies and temperatures falling to an overnight low of around 11— 1a celsius. so we will start the day tomorrow on fairly bright conditions. slightly fresher than lately, but plenty of sunshine. maureen the way of cloud through the day, turning into sunny spells, but staying dry, and began temperatures in the 20s. so a maximum tomorrow of 20 celsius, just the risk of an isolated showers with a late afternoon and evening. just the risk of seeing the odd isolated showers and more, things turning more humid into the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. it's on wednesday, 12th ofjuly. coming up on breakfast today:

6:31 am
frankie mccamley who is in north kensington this morning. we can see the tower behind you and this is still having a deep effect, isn't it, on all those involved and affected by it? yes, absolutely. as for the investigation, we are told that this is a huge investigation involving hundreds of police and fire officers, meticulously waking their way through the building and an investigation that will take months. as it stands the metropolitan police say the numbers of dead or still missing still stands at 80 and they have warned us that as this investigation continues some people who were in that you'll be may never be identified. just to give you a sense of how difficult that investigation is going to be, we've been speaking to alistair hutchens, who has been within the
6:32 am
power. he is a disaster victim identification officer, this been trying to work in there. —— who has been. he has described how difficult that process is. it is difficult. it's probably the worst incident i've dealt with and i've been doing this for 18 years. i've dealt with many incidences and i've never come across one harder, emotionally and physically, and challenging to deal with. well, more inquests are going to be opened today and there are going to be... there will be a vigil held here later on the night and four weeks on the mood here is still extremely raw. people have lost many family members, some have lost up to six family members, so as you can imagine people really coming to terms with what has happened and of course there's still a lot of anger towards the council, so a lot needs towards the council, so a lot needs to be done to resolve that situation, but people here are really trying to be like to a very
6:33 am
dark situation. thank you very much indeed. we will speak to a former g re nfell tower were indeed. we will speak to a former grenfell tower were resident later, at about 7:10am. president trump's eldest son has appeared on television in the united states to say he never told his father about a meeting he had with a russian lawyer, during last year's presidential campaign. he was led to believe that she could offer damaging information that would incriminate mr trump's rival, hillary clinton. donald trump junior told the broadcaster the meeting was "a nothing", but he said he should have handled it differently. a charity is calling for uk households to receive a one—off repayment £285 on energy bills because it says network providers have been making excessive profits at the expense of customers. citizens advice says companies managing gas and electricity grids have been allowed to charge too much by energy regulator 0fgem. but 0fgem and energy providers are disputing the claim, saying they try to ensure customers don't pay more than they need to. lloyds banking group is changing
6:34 am
the way overdraft fees work, in a shake—up which will affect millions of customers. starting from november, customers will be charged a single rate of 1p per day for every £7 pounds of planned use of their overdraft. the bank says it will help customers to budget, rather than being hit with a bigger bill weeks later. the national audit office has criticised the government's handling of a new electronic tagging system for offenders in england and wales after costly project fell behind schedule. so far, the ministry ofjustice has spent £60 million on the system, which has fallen five years behind schedule. the ministry's ambition for a bespoke world leading combine the gps and radio frequency tag proved unachievable. and the programme was also beset by problems in the
6:35 am
ministry's management of it. trying to find a parking space can be really irritating. now we know exactly how irritating. you're driving up and down roads or car parks and then following people when you think they're going to leave. now research says drivers spend an average of aa hours a year searching for a parking space. the study by the traffic information supplier inrix found it cost the typical motorist hundreds of pounds a year in wasted fuel. where did you think the worst place would be? i would suggest the capital? it is a london. closely followed by belfast, 56, leeds, a6, we still is close. 0ther 56, leeds, a6, we still is close. other cities that are bad, irving, glasgow, edinburgh, southampton. if you are in any of those, good luck with the parking!
6:36 am
it's a nightmare pretty much everywhere. what anna mayes in evening at wimbledon. —— what an amazing. it was such a fantastic match. it was. but she is a bit like andy murray, she didn't always make it easy for us she didn't always make it easy for us watching. i was on the edge of my seat. but the result in the end was the right one forjo konta. ijust wa nt to the right one forjo konta. ijust want to briefly explain where we are this morning, because we are in a different place. we are on a beautiful balcony, court number one behind us. we are allowed in here for one hour because once we leave here paying guests come in and if you want to buy a ticket to come here and have your lunch here on this balcony and then go and watch some tennis on centre court, it is thousands of pounds, so we are allowed to stay. i think it is the only time we will get in! a
6:37 am
beautiful occasion. weather comes in is very lucky. —— whoever comes in. johanna konta has become the first british woman since virginia wade in 1978 to reach the wimbledon semi final. after two tie—brea ks after two tie—breaks and 2.5 hours on centre court, she took the set 6-a. on centre court, she took the set 6—a. next is venus williams. she is a tremendous champion and i feel very humbled and excited to share the court with her again. last time she got the better of me, but we've had many great battles, so hopefully we will be able to create another battle. so konta will be up against venus williams. the 37—year—old american is in fine form. she saw off french open winner jelena 0stapenko in straight sets. meanwhile, magdalena rybarikova became the lowest ranked woman to make the women's semi—finals at wimbledon. the world number 87 shocked coco wandeweghe, beating the american in straight sets. garbine muguruza reached the final
6:38 am
at wimbledon two years ago and she's one step away from another, after beating svetlana kuznetsova in straight sets to reach the semis. and number one seeds jamie murray and martina hingis booked their place in the quarter—finals of the mixed doubles. the pair enjoyed a straight sets win over romanjebavy and lucie hradecka. and the skupski brothers, kenneth and neal, are through to the quarter finals of the men's doubles. they beat marcus daniell and marcelo demoliner in four sets. they face fourth seeds lukasz kubot and marcelo melo this morning. the brothers from liverpool only booked their accommodation down here for the first week and they've had to move hotels, find somewhere else to move hotels, find somewhere else to stay, because they are playing so well! andy murray is back on centre today for his quarter—final against the american sam querrey. in practise yesterday, he still looked like he was struggling for full fitness. he's aiming for an eighth semi—final, and his match against the number 2a seed gets under way around 1pm. then it's milos raonic playing roger federer.
6:39 am
novak djokovic plays thomas berdych in the last eight today after completing a straight—set victory over france's adrian mannarino. the serb appeared unhappy with the condition of centre court and also received treatment on his right shoulder during the match. away from the tennis, germany's marcel kittel outsprinted the field to win the tenth stage of the tour de france in bergerac. britain's chris froome retained the overall leader's yellowjersey. he's 18 seconds in front. the international olympic committee has voted to award hosting rights for both the 202a and 2028 olympics in september. the decision all—but guarantees paris and los angeles will stage the games, as they're the only candidates. the french bid has been backed by new president emmanuel macron, who was in lausanne for the vote. and finally, with so much rain around yesterday, emergency ponchos were the must have fashion accessory.
6:40 am
unfortunately, they don't come with a guide book. look at this! a man trying to put his emergency poncho on while watching the tennis. lady sitting next to him is attempting to help him. i think he tried his very best! we've all been there. was he putting it on, taking it off? what was he doing? leave your emergency ponchos in the bin, stay home and watch it on bbc one! it starts at 1215 p.m. . if you want to listen, it can listen on bbc radio five live as well. i love that, when you try to put it on and the good is over your face.
6:41 am
£3000 to watch as well! i think 50p for a poncho is public good value. carol and i will be out with our ponchos later, tu rfed carol and i will be out with our ponchos later, turfed out of here. another big sporting event this weekend, the british grand prix. we're taking a look at the engineers behind the cars. so important. most of the formula 1 teams are based in the uk, so we've sent colletta to find out how bright the future is for the motor sports industry here. good morning! good morning. good morning, everyone. welcome back to trafalgar square in london, which has been transformed for the day, as you can see. a lot of formula 1 cars have invaded this particular square this morning. the reason bear here is to promote formula 1 as an industry. it is the british—born pre— this weekend so it's a big
6:42 am
event for racing —— british grand prix. it is really significant in the uk. seven of the big ten formula 1 companies are based here in the uk. that's a lot of money coming into our economy. it is also a lot of know—how and tech expertise that trickles down into a manufacturing sector. to find out a little bit more this morning, as promised, here isa man more this morning, as promised, here is a man who knows a lot more than me. welcome. thanks forjoining us. formula 1 is a hugely expensive industry and it is also one that makes an awful lot of money. when it comes to the future of british racing, in particular, iwanted comes to the future of british racing, in particular, i wanted to ask you about all the stone, there have been a lot of questions raised about what will happen. what do you think post—2019 will there still be a british grand prix?|j think post—2019 will there still be a british grand prix? i believe so. most of the teams are based in the uk. the innovation that's here, the
6:43 am
engineering skills, the work ethic, sees britain's leading the way. so it finds himself in the middle of a negotiation over the commercial rights, the cost of hosting the event and try to operate as a proper business. i'm sure they will take the two years to work that out and in the meantime we are the head of this great event in trafalgar square to celebrate formula! this great event in trafalgar square to celebrate formula 1 and we want to celebrate formula 1 and we want to invest in the sport. they are working to increase the fan experience, something which has been discussed in the past as maybe not being at the level it could be. there will be a number of these events around the globe. this is formula 1, come celebrate the race. talk to us about attracting a new audience, that's really important. there's been a big change for formula 1 this year, changing ownership to us ownership. they say they are wanting to attract more people to the sport. how can they do
6:44 am
that? things like what we are doing today, we have a whole innovation section. there will be schools coming down, having the opportunity to learn about the opportunities, the job opportunities, in formula 1. some people would like to be a grand prix driver, but there are others who are more fascinated by the mechanical side, would be engineering side, the marketing or media side. i think formula! represent the best of so many areas, so represent the best of so many areas, so there's something for everyone. you might not realise that unless you come down and experience it first hand. the whole afternoon is about trying to encourage that side of the industry and bentonite is all about celebrating british grand prix and formula! stock white it has been seen as the least ——. it has been seen as the least ——. it has been seen as an elitist sport. some will only get to write a dodgem car. anyone who is familiar with single
6:45 am
horsepower and horseriding, that's expensive as well and it is certainly more expensive than say football or tennis, with wimbledon going on this week. that said, it's a sport that encourages talent to rise up through. there are so many people who are in senior positions today in formula 1 who wouldn't necessarily have the university degree to say they should be in a position, but with work ethic and commitment and showing leadership skills it's a sport that really allows and encourages people to move on to read. it is difficult for the uk to compete because it is big spending. there are a lot of countries around the world who are prepared to spend more government money. we've seen azerbaijan wanting to come in and start their own grand prix. the uk government are putting up money in. silverstone is a private club trying to compete for that, which makes it more difficult? it does. there are so more difficult? it does. there are so many worthy sports clubs out there, beyond formula !, as well. so
6:46 am
you have to find a viable business model. formula! is a global sport and hasa model. formula! is a global sport and has a huge fan base. in the uk the fans are fair in the way we spread the love between all other teams represented here, so we aren't biased just to the british teams as such. for the team is not based on the uk, they still have a lot of support. so i think that sport as a whole, this is the first of what is bringing the sport closer to the fans, trying to encourage that next group of fans and ultimately to give something back. thanks very much for talking to us. i will be hearing from senior bosses from here later to find out about their future plans for the sport in a year that has seen for the sport in a year that has seen the industry change ownership and change hands. are you going to get a chance to drive one? and change hands. are you going to get a chance to drive one ?|j and change hands. are you going to get a chance to drive one? i am hopeful, but not too optimistic. i think they are flatly worried about giving the actual control on one of
6:47 am
the cars. who knows what havoc i could make? it is wet this morning. see you later. it is drying up little bit. you might get a chance! we have seen steph on aid us. collett on one of them. it could happen. here are the main stories this morning. a month on from the devastating grenfell tower fire, mps will debate the inquiry set—up to look into the tragedy, later today. johanna konta becomes the first british female wimbledon semi—finalist for nearly a0 years. rain affected play yesterday, but what will happen today? carol is at wimbledon. good morning. looking around, you can see the cloud on the horizon. we had torrential rain across parts of south wales and southern england. it
6:48 am
is continuing to move eastwards, but we have this residual cloud. already, things are under way at wimbledon. the bin flurries are out collecting sally's empties from yesterday. —— lorries. if you are in the breeze it will be nippy this morning, but it will transpire into a nice day today. the forecast for wimbledon isjust a nice day today. the forecast for wimbledon is just that. a nice day today. the forecast for wimbledon isjust that. cloud is going to break up we will see some sunshine coming through, and it will feel pleasant in the sunshine. we are not expecting any sunshine —— any showers here today. that is the forecast for most of the uk as well. when we lose this morning's rain it will be dry and there will be lengthy sunny spells. let's look at the forecast at nine o'clock. a nine o'clock the rain will have cleared into the north sea and the continent. still with some parts of the south—east at the moment, but that will go. it has left lots of puddles. if you are travelling, bear that in mind. as we travel further north into the north midlands,
6:49 am
northern england and scotland, it is a chilly start for you. it is also dry, and there is lots of sunshine. for northern ireland there is also a chilly start, but lots of sunshine. it will remain dry through the day, and it will be the same as we move into wales. after yesterday's rain, what a difference to the day. for south—west england, you have still got the dregs of the weather front in the sense that we have got some cloud left behind. that extends across southern counties, the south midlands, into east anglia and back down towards kent. just one or two showers left in that front‘s wake. through the day that cloud will break up. the sun will come out and it will be sunny wherever you are. there will be cloud developing here and there, but certainly not spoiling the sunshine. down the east coast we have more of an onshore breeze. it will feel cooler along the east coast, particularly the east coast of england. we will move inland and it will be back in to temperatures from 1a to 23 around
6:50 am
the london area. that leads us into this evening and overnight. lots of dry weather. we could see one or two isolated patches across parts of england and wales. not problematic. across northern ireland, northern england and scotland, in the shelter, temperatures could well fall shelter, temperatures could well fa ll over shelter, temperatures could well fall over enough for a touch of frost. that leads us into tomorrow, a nippy start to the day. for many, we are going to start off with lots of sunshine around. through the day we will see scattered showers develop across parts of england, wales and scotland, but by no means will everybody see those. later on we will see a more humid band of showers coming across western scotland, sinking south and getting into the north of england by evening. by friday, while they will bea evening. by friday, while they will be a few showers in the east, again, many of us will miss them all together and we will have a fine, dry and sunny day. there will be a bit more cloud at times in the west, but nonetheless, we are still looking at sunny spells. as this weather cools down, if it is too
6:51 am
fresh for you and you want it to be war or hot fresh for you and you want it to be waror hot again, fresh for you and you want it to be war or hot again, as we head into sunday it looks back southern counties of england are going to have temperatures once again into the high 20s. something to bear in mind if you are planning on coming to the final here at wimbledon. thank you carol. i think you will have to be moved on from where you are. yes, we are going to have to move, it is very noisy. they have been very obliging, they stopped for us. god bless them. iwill give been very obliging, they stopped for us. god bless them. i will give them a wave. it strikes me that you have the whole of wimbledon under control. brilliant. see you shall eat. —— shortly. name—calling, being excluded and physical violence. nearly a third of 15—year—olds in england have experienced this type of bullying regularly. that's according to a report that's been published in the medical journal, the lancet. in a confidential survey of 110,000 15—year—olds, the study found cyber—bullying on its own is relatively rare. joining us now is a co—author of the report, professor lucy bowes from the university of oxford. thank you very much indeed for
6:52 am
joining us this morning. we talk a lot about a leading and different forms of leading. in recent years we have tended to concentrate on cyber bullying. what do you think is significant about this report? this is one of the largest reports of its kind to look at the prevalence of cyber will be in and these more traditional forms of bullying in england. —— cyber bullying. 0ur finding is that bullying is very common. 0ne finding is that bullying is very common. one in four adolescents are reporting experiencing these more physicalforms of reporting experiencing these more physical forms of bullying. we were finding that cyber bullying is much more rare, really, this than 1% of young people, 15 —year—olds in england, reported that they had experienced cyber bullying. so perhaps less common in people originally thought. we have spoken
6:53 am
before on just about originally thought. we have spoken before onjust about campaigns to crack down on cyber bullying and to get that message out. are we focusing on the wrong direction? should we be looking at old—fashioned face—to—face bullying instead ? old—fashioned face—to—face bullying instead? i think rather than contrasting the two, what is important to remember is that we should be targeting bullying holder stickley. we should be targeting both forms of bullying. it is concerning that so many young people are reporting they have experienced bullying, but we should not be seeing cyber bullying is looking com pletely seeing cyber bullying is looking completely separate, but rather, it isa completely separate, but rather, it is a new way in which more traditional forms of bullying can be expressed. i think we perhaps need to see it in that light. why is bullying apparently happening more commonly now in all its forms than it was in the past? 0r commonly now in all its forms than it was in the past? or is it that kids are more prepared to report it and talk about it now? good question. it is difficult to say weather rates are indeed going up or going down, because we do not tend to measure them very consistently.
6:54 am
what i will say is that they are still far too high, and it is really a missed opportunity. there is good evidence based intervention on how to reduce bullying, and that we are seeing such high rates suggest that they are not being invalided as widely as they should be. it does seem widely as they should be. it does seem strange that we talk about it more now, we do surveys like this more now, we do surveys like this more now, we do surveys like this more now, and yet it seems to be happening more now. yes. it is difficult to say for sure whether it is happening now, but it is a lot of young people that are saying they have experienced this. i think young people's voices are being heard more now. up until recently bullying was seen as now. up until recently bullying was seen as something that was a normal rite of passage, and was not seen as very harmful, and all the research is suggesting that this is not the case and it can be a very harmful experience for young people. there will be young people who remember a bit of name—calling, what we might now call bullying when they were at school years ago, and to think that maybe we are a bit oversensitive about this these days. is that fair? i think it is fair to say that certainly not all people who
6:55 am
experienced bullying want to develop difficulties, and many of us who have not gone on to develop difficulties would look back and trivialise or minimise our experiences. but there is a substantial minority of individuals who do go on to develop difficulties across their life course, and problems with their well—being and also other symptoms as well. and for them, this is no smaller and significant experience they went through. it is important to remember that. talking about ways of trying to combat it in schools and family situations and social groups, what do you think we should be doing, if there is one thing that could make a difference, what would you recommend? there is lots of evidence based interventions now. i think the should be more widely implemented in schools in the uk. they do exist, there is good research about them, and we need to start singing them rolled out in more schools. when you say evidence base, what do you mean? what sort of programmes, practically? there are studies that involve getting all children involves, not just young involve getting all children involves, notjust young people who are directly involved in bullying, but they have what we call
6:56 am
bystanders, getting young people to stand up and support victims, or those children who experience bullying and being victimised by bullies. spreading that message and reducing the overall level and reducing the overall level and reducing the overall level and reducing the acceptance of bullying. when young people support the woolly implicitly by not doing anything, perhaps, by not telling a teacher, they are sending the message that this is ok. and what we find is that when they stand up and say no to bullying, when everybody as a whole school rahal community does that, the prevalence of bullying decreases. we will have to leave it there. thank you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield. the head of one of the city's biggest employers has told the bbc that brexit could easily mean thousands of his staff lose theirjobs in london. jamie dimon from the bankjp morgan said there was no question that europe had more cards at the negotiating table and could "dictate"
6:57 am
the movement ofjobs. it's understood the majority could be resettled in dublin, frankfurt or luxembourg. you have to to be responsible. we would like to keep all of our people in london, but a hard brexit means we have to do certain things. you have seen countries are saying that they want their data centres in the country. that will be part of the trade negotiation, and we don't know the outcome. we hope it is great for the people of britain but we don't know the outcome. dozens of people have been evacuated from their homes in the middle of the night after a large fire at a hospital in surrey. it broke out shortly before midnight at the weybridge health centre and is now under control. no—one's been hurt but parts of high street are currently closed. a controversial artist has defended his work which profiles some of london's rough sleepers. kristian von hornsleth has installed tracking devices on homeless men who sleep on the capital's streets. their live movements can then be watched by people
6:58 am
who purchase an app. some homeless charities have been sceptical but the artist says his work is aimed at challenging the concepts of exploitation. let's have a look at the travel situation now. a good service on all tube lines at the moment. looking at the roads, this is the view of trafalgar square. extensive road closures in the area from midday until midnight for formula 1 live. that is also affecting some bus routes. stations will remain open. oxford street is closed eastbound from oxford circus because of a burst water main. buses are being diverted. that takes us to a check on the weather. hello. a slightly unpromising start to the day today, but we will start to see improvements. the cloud and rain giving way to some sunshine, so a gradual brightening up as we move through the day. tonight we will see the tail end of that rain clearing out, so some outbreaks of light rain and drizzle, but as we move through the day we start to gradually see
6:59 am
some brightness and some sunshine later in the day. patches of cloud here and there, but warm in the sunshine with highs of 22 celsius. through this evening, later spells of sunshine and then overnight we will see a dry night. patchy cloud around, but plenty of clear skies and temperatures falling to an overnight low of around 11—1a celsius. so we will start the day tomorrow on fairly bright conditions. slightly fresher than lately, but plenty of sunshine. maureen the way of cloud through the day, turning into sunny spells, but staying dry, and began temperatures in the 20s. so a maximum tomorrow of 20 celsius, just the risk of an isolated showers with a late afternoon and evening. just the risk of seeing the odd isolated showers and more, things turning more humid into the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast, withjon kay and louise minchin. four weeks on from the grenfell tower fire, investigators say it
7:00 am
could take many months to identify the victims. the tragedy will be discussed in the commons later, as labour attacks what it calls the government's "chaotic" response. tonight a vigil will held as the community remembers all of those whose lives have been affected. the first week was pretty hard, but it got a bit easier after a few weeks and then when this started happening, we'd come here and it distracts you a lot. we'll find out how a special play scheme is helping children to cope with the trauma. good morning. it's wednesday, the 12th ofjuly. also this morning: wimbledon dreaming.
7:01 am
johanna konta pulls off a nail—biting victory. she is through to the semifinals. she is the first woman in 39 years to achieve that feat here at wimbledon and later today andy murray will be trying to join her in the last four. donald trump's son denies telling his father anything about a meeting with a russian lawyer, thought to be part of a campaign to help him get elected. it was such a nothing. there was nothing to tell. i wouldn't have even remembered it until you start scouring through the stuff. it was literally a wasted 20 minutes, which is a shame. iam finding i am finding out about car manufacturing the uk, but cars that go faster than the ones we are usually talking about. i am finding out about the future of formula 1 and the manufacturing of it in the uk. and carol has the weather. good morning. iamat i am at centre court. the roof is
7:02 am
open and it is starting to brighten up open and it is starting to brighten up after a wet night. very wet across the southern half of england and wales. that will be the way through today and wherever you are it will be dry, sunny and pleasantly warm. we will have more details throughout the programme. good morning. first, our main story. a police investigation of the g re nfell tower a police investigation of the grenfell tower fire say the task of identifying all the people who died in the tragedy could take many months. the head of the recovery tea m months. the head of the recovery team says it is the worst incident he has ever dealt with. today marks for weeks since the devastating fire and tonight the community will come together for a vigil to honour those who lost their lives. four weeks of grief and shock, of searching for loved ones and searching for answers. police estimate at least 80 people lost their lives. it is the job of
7:03 am
the investigation team to find any remains. the man leading thejobs that it remains. the man leading thejobs thatitis remains. the man leading thejobs that it is the worst incident he has ever dealt with. we are looking at a fingertip search of all flats, all floors. that would involve officers on their hands and knees. i feel passionate about getting those people back to their loved ones. i understand how frustrating it is for people outside of this environment to sit there and wait and say, why can't i have my family back with mac surely it easy. it's not. tonight, in the shadow of grenfell‘s blackened shell, a vigil will be held to remember those who died. one of those who escaped the burning tower is antonio roncolato, woken by his son who saw the flames as he returned home. the smoke was very thick, very horrible smell, obviously. very warm. i said there was no way i could get out there. someone has to rescue me. he would be led to safety by firefighters. the questions over what happened here started before the flames were even out. similar cladding on more than 200 other buildings has since failed safety tests.
7:04 am
labour has called for the process to be sped up, saying the government has been too slow both in helping grenfell residents and making sure other blocks are safe. later today there will be a debate in parliament over the enquiry to be held into the fire. four weeks on and the real business of finding answers feels as though it is onlyjust getting started. we can speak to our reporter frankie mccamley, who is in north kensington this morning. here we are, for weeks later, but the legacy is still felt, not least in the community where you are? yes, absolutely. i will begin by giving you some of the latest figures that we have four weeks on. according to the metropolitan police, currently the metropolitan police, currently the number of people dead or missing stands at at least 80, with offices warning that some of the victims may
7:05 am
never actually be identified. earlier this week police revealed that there are around 255 survivors from the tower, including 1a residents, who were not in the building at the time. according to the grenfell tower response team they say 157 households were given emergency accommodation. for weeks on they say all of those have been offered some sort of alternative housing. 18 of those offers have been accepted and four households have now been re— home. as for the enquiry into the disaster, the government is assessing fire safety in other blocks similar to grenfell tower that have similar towelling. 200 blocks have failed fire safety test and now questions are being raised, as that is a 100% failure rate. as i said, it is for weeks on andi rate. as i said, it is for weeks on and i want to give you a sense of the mood in the community. this is
7:06 am
one of the churches where people have been coming to reflect, bringing flowers and victims have been coming to get support. later on there will be a vigil here. people in the community coming together. what they really want to do is put some light on what is an extremely dark situation. thank you for now. inafew dark situation. thank you for now. in a few minutes we will be to someone “— in a few minutes we will be to someone —— speak to in a few minutes we will be to someone —— speak to someone in a few minutes we will be to someone —— speak to someone lived in a tower block and he managed to escape. they will speak about where they are now four weeks after the incident. johanna konta is into the semi—finals of wimbledon. she's gone further in the singles than any british woman for nearly a0 years. konta is now the bookies' favourite for the title, but standing in her way tomorrow will be venus williams. ben croucher was watching yesterday's action. it's hard to think that johanna konta had only one one match at wimbledon before this year.
7:07 am
now, after a nerve shredding victory against simona halep, she is two wins from the title. i've always believed in my own ability and i've always dreamt big. but i don't give myself too much time to dream and more focus on the work. as is often the british way on centre court, she did it the hard way. she lost the first set on a tie—break against the second seed, not playing badly, she just needed to find the winning combination. relying on a powerful serve and a booming backhand seemed as good a ploy as any. to the decider it went. konta credits much of her rise up the rankings to the work on the mental side of the game and under this pressure you could see it flow into her raquet. inside they tried to raise the roof. outside they tried to make themselves heard through it. konta has captured the nation. the first british woman into the final since virginia wade in 1978.
7:08 am
konta winning over new fans and a few older ones as well. what a lovely moment for her. it was tense, wasn't it? yes, it was tense for me because i was in the train and! tense for me because i was in the train and i was struggling to get a signal! sally will be joined in a few minutes by tim henman to discuss andy murray's chances in his quarterfinal match against sam querrey, which is at one o'clock this afternoon. president trump's eldest son has appeared on television in the united states to say he never told his father about a meeting he had with a russian lawyer, during last year's presidential campaign. he was led to believe that she could offer damaging information that would incriminate mr trump's rival, hillary clinton. donald trump junior told the broadcaster the meeting was "a nothing", but he said he should have handled it differently. a charity says every household in the uk should get a one—off rebate of £285 on its energy bills,
7:09 am
because providers have been making excessive profits at the expense of its customers. citizens advice says the regulator 0fgem allowed companies to charge too much and overestimated their costs. but 0fgem and energy providers are disputing the claim, as our personal finance correspondent simon gompertz reports. -- if —— if you go to bed late or wake up early, don't play the name —— blame the neighbours or the children, laying your ancestors! 0r the neighbours or the children, laying your ancestors! or the bbc. a study from scientists in the us suggests different sleep patterns may have been an advantage in the distant past, when we lived in different groups and needed someone to keep watch at all different times of the day and night. i would rather not be keeping watch at 3:30am. with your spear in hand. very interesting. yesterday it was all
7:10 am
aboutjohanna konta, but today, the big question is can andy murrayjoin her in the wimbledon semi—finals? sally is with a man who knows more than most about the latter stages of wimbledon, former british number one tim henman. i don't think he is under the cove rs. ican cove rs. i can exclusively reveal tim henman is right here. good morning. how many times semifinalist at wimbledon? four. ouch! i am glad to see you have brought your copy with you. i feel bad. ijust see you have brought your copy with you. ifeel bad. ijust came see you have brought your copy with you. i feel bad. ijust came from the other side. —— coffee. you. i feel bad. ijust came from the other side. -- coffee. none for us! iam the other side. -- coffee. none for us! i am glad you havejoined us. there is a change at this wimbledon. we've got two british hopes, really looking quite good. let's start with konta she hasn't always had the best
7:11 am
time at wimbledon but this year something is different. she is using the crowd and playing brilliantly. it's all well and good having the support but you've got to produce the goods. in that first week i thought that was a big turning point because she played great tennis. it was out here that she took it in the third and! was out here that she took it in the third and i thought that was a brilliant match. she has really gone on to continue that form and to see her playing against simona halep and continue that form, the two elements all three elements, her serve, continue that form, the two elements all three elements, herserve, how aggressive she is from the back of the court, but also her mindset, she is so focused. using the crowd and continuing to produce good performances. you say her aggression, she came out here yesterday and she learned that much from the start. even when she went down you sensed she had more aggression. yes, and belief. simona halep is a great player. she was up a set in the final. she is number
7:12 am
two in the world, so a great player. i think it was that level that konta was able to play at. even though she lost the first is that she maintained the lead and kept that level and got the second set on the tie—break as well, to finish off in the third. what's it like? you are the third. what's it like? you are the british hope, you come out here for the semi—final. do you read the papers beforehand and listen to the radio? none of the above. it's really important i think, especially when you are playing... we are lucky to have a grand slam, you've really got to do a good job concentrating on the things you can control and that your preparation and performance. what's been said in the media, it's all irrelevant and worked help you when you get on the court. i think that's where konta has done a really good job. 0ver court. i think that's where konta has done a really good job. over the last couple of years she has done really well. now she is a top ten player and she has won some really
7:13 am
be —— big matches. player and she has won some really be -- big matches. andy murray says sam querrey before. he looks like he is wearing the wrong size shoes. doesn't it? hobbling about a bit. those shuttle runs aren't great. doesn't it? hobbling about a bit. those shuttle runs aren't greatm is much better that way round. i commentated on a couple of his matches, the second one against dustin brown who was hitting all of the drop shots. that's a good sign. i don't think his form is perfect but i think if we can block that out and find a way to beat his opponent that kind of what he has done. identity has played his best tennis yet but we will have to step it up again because he has had a lot of good wins. he will have to be ready for that. when you are carrying an injury coming into a tournament and we wa nt injury coming into a tournament and we want to play, what do you do the rest of the time? they think
7:14 am
sometimes... a lot of players will be carrying aches and pains, but your hope is that as the tournament progresses you will get better or improve with all of the exercise and activity, whereas if you have one that will deteriorate you will struggle. i'm not really sure how andy is heating. hopefully it is co nsta nt, andy is heating. hopefully it is constant, so if there is an issue, a bit of pain and saunas, it's not getting worse. because when you play five set match is over two weeks that's really difficult to do. no, i am optimistic. andy is quite used to this. we've seen him in semifinals, progressing through. konta, what advice would you give to? two words. more of the same and enjoy it. to play out here, the most famous court in the world, and to be a home—grown player and have the support she has got, that can give a big lift and
7:15 am
can put pressure on her opponents, like venus williams, she is experienced. she will need all the help she can get, i think she can get going. i am already nervous about that one. i hopejo isn't watching me say this! i am now going to make you get us a round of teas. do you think it will? you are going to! absolutely, for the right price. it's 07:15 and you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: a month on from the devastating grenfell tower fire, mps will debate the inquiry set up to look into the tragedy, later today. johanna konta becomes the first british female wimbledon semifinalist for nearly a0 years.
7:16 am
i was just watching behind us at the scenes as tim henman went to make sally a cup of tea. carroll makes him move out of the way, and here she is, like magic. with a cup of tea, or without? without. you have to give tim a chance. he is hotfooting it right now. we at centre court and it is lovely. after the torrential rain yesterday, it was absolutely bucketing, but it has cleared up and the sky will continue to clear as well, and we will see some sunshine. if you are coming down to wimbledon today, don't feel despondent about the amount of rain we have had. it is moving away to the north sea. the forecast for wimbledon is a dry one today. we are not even expecting a shower. we are looking at sunny
7:17 am
spells and highs of 22 or 23. gentle breezes and perfect conditions for a spectator. if you are generally anywhere in the uk today, when we lose the rain it will be a dry day and we are looking at lengthy sunny spells with some rain developing. currently we still have some rain in the south—east, across eastern parts of suffolk down towards the east of hampshire and all points south—east. by hampshire and all points south—east. by nine o'clock that will have gone off into the north sea, leaving residual cloud and one or two showers in the extreme south—east. in the north—east, the midlands, northern england and scotland, we have clear skies already. a chilly start. temperatures have fallen in scotla nd start. temperatures have fallen in scotland to about five degrees overnight. in the sunshine, the temperature is well pick up quite quickly. northern ireland also has a chilly start, a beautiful sunny one, but as we move in across wales, similar story. quite different from what we started with yesterday morning with all that rain. it is dry and sunny. south—west england, and you have the dregs of the weather front. at the
7:18 am
and you have the dregs of the weatherfront. at the moment and you have the dregs of the weather front. at the moment there isa weather front. at the moment there is a bit more cloud, as there is across southern counties and also across southern counties and also across the south midlands, heading towards kent and east anglia. this is not o'clock we are talking about, not what is happening now. that will continue to break up as we go through the morning and the sun will come out. for the uk as a whole it will be dry and sunny and feel pleasa ntly will be dry and sunny and feel pleasantly warm. gentle breezes. down the east coast, there is more ofa down the east coast, there is more of a breeze. temperatures will be a bit slow here. a0— 60 in. generally we are looking at about 23 celsius. through this evening and overnight there will be lots of clear skies around. across northern ireland, scotla nd around. across northern ireland, scotland and northern england, in shelter, we could well see two bridges drop lorena for a touch of frost. further south it should be dry with a risk of some isolated from patches. —— fog patches. nothing too dense. tomorrow they will clear readily and a lot of dry weather to start the day. lots of sunshine. through the day we will see scattered showers develop across england, wales and scotland. now,
7:19 am
you'll be lucky, depending on your point of view, if you catch one or not. later, again, a more coherent band of showers across the north—west of scotland. by evening they will have migrated southwards, getting into northern england. tomorrow's temperatures, again, about where they should be at this stage ofjuly. 0n about where they should be at this stage ofjuly. on friday we could see one of two showers in the east but in between there will be lots of sunshine. in the west, some sunny spells, and again, temperatures roughly where they should be. lots of dry weather on the cards. if you are coming to wimbledon in the next few days, it will certainly be dry. if you are coming for the final on sunday, it looks very much like it will turn much warmer again. we will be looking at temperatures back up into the high 20s. the pollen levels today, well, they were low or moderate yesterday, but they are also back up again today for much of the uk, too high i have a feeling you might say that. there are calls for a device, which can be used by parents to monitor their unborn baby's
7:20 am
heartbeat, to be banned. pregnancy and stillbirth charity kicks count says home dopplers should only be used by professionals. today a petition against them will be delivered to downing street. we did get in touch with the manufacturers of some of the products who told us their guidance is clear. it should not be used as a substitute for professional medical care. vicki mcnelly‘s baby was stillborn at 9 months. this is her story. i had ihada i had a textbook pregnancy. my midwives were really pleased with how well my pregnancy was going. i was really lucky i didn't have morning sickness. i carried a very well. i didn't have acted in and that kind of thing. but really, really enjoy being pregnant. i sat on my pregnancy ball in front of the
7:21 am
door and i was looking into the garden and i knew that something was wrong. i knew that evie had died. and something, i don't know what, something made me pick up the doppler to see if there was anything that i could hear. and when i used iti that i could hear. and when i used it i could hear something. i couldn't hear a heartbeat, but i couldn't hear a heartbeat, but i could hear noises. i was taken into a side room and... um... they gave me an ultrasound, and another midwife, a senior midwife, she said, vicki, i'm really sorry, your baby has died. iffy doppler was not in the house i
7:22 am
wouldn't have had a second opinion, as it were. —— if the doppler. i would only have been able to rely on my own instincts and my own reaction times. i think the doppler gave me a false sense of security. since losing her baby evie, vicki — who we just saw there — has given birth to a second daughter called florence, who was born healthy. joining us now from our london newsroom is elizabeth hutton from the charity, kicks count. we have spoken to the manufacturers of some of these products and one of them told us it is totally outrageous to relate stillbirth to the use of dopplers at home, as though this is some proven cause and effect relationship. what is your problem with the doppler? —— dopplers? you have concerns? the
7:23 am
device itself is perfectly safe to use when it is used by the right people. they are intended for medical professionals. they are sat vision devices and they require training to be used. they are not something that should be used by the general public, by untrained hands. the issue that we have is that although we do not know necessarily what causes every stillbirth, we do know for a fact that the majority of stillbirths, and other reports a change in the baby's movements beforehand. so what we need to be identifying is the changes in the ba by‘s identifying is the changes in the baby's movements identifying is the changes in the ba by‘s movements and identifying is the changes in the baby's movements and getting women to report that. what the home doppler is doing is creating a barrier between the mum and her seeking medical advice, because sometimes women will use it for reassurance, reassured that they have heard the baby's heartbeat, whereas actually hearing the baby's heartbeat does not actually mean that the baby as well. we relate it to, if you saw someone to collapse on the street, would you check their pulse and then walk away? if they had one? no, you would still call an
7:24 am
ambulance, because the fact they have a pulse does not mean they are 0k. they are clearly in distress. what we want to do is be able to identify babies who might potentially been stress and seek medical attention —— in distress and seek medical shall tension, whereas the doppler device is reassuring women that their babies are ok, and it is not intended for that purpose. the manufacturers make that clear, don't they? they say it is true they should not be used as a substitute for professional medical care, nor should they be relied upon as an indicator of faecal health, and there is a theoretical possibility of false reassurance. what is your advice to mums and dads? well, see, this is part of the issue. the manufacturers are saying that, and thatis manufacturers are saying that, and that is what is in the instruction leaflet when you read it. but the box on the outside is marketed to mothers. it says on it, "a great reassurance tool". it says, "great for listening to baby in the comfort of your own home". why are we
7:25 am
marketing this to women if it is not intended for them? why are we implying to them that it is safe for them to use when, really, it should be in the hands of midwives and professionals ? be in the hands of midwives and professionals? you want and band, don't you? yes. we want the general sale of them banned. we want them to still be used by midwives in the cracked environments, for the right reasons, but not for them to be used at home. it is not a toy. ijust looked on the internet today, there are apps for pregnant mothers, for example, you can find an app very quickly that says it will do the exact same thing. so it is not just... that is another issue, but thatis just... that is another issue, but that is something completely different. what lots of people do not realise is that the home doppler, the doppler itself, it is not a microphone. you're not listening to the baby's heartbeat. it is sending ultrasound waves into your body and reflecting the sound back off anything that moves. that might be the heart, it might be beyond the local court, the placenta, the mother's veins, it could be all sorts of things. you do
7:26 am
not have those in a phone. so it is actually impossible to get the same result. likewise, mothers who buy the home dopplers may not realise they are not listening to their ba by‘s they are not listening to their baby's heartbeat. they are not listening to their ba by‘s heartbeat. they they are not listening to their baby's heartbeat. they are listening toa similarto baby's heartbeat. they are listening to a similar to sound created by soundwaves reflecting off moving parts. —— simulated sound. it is a complicated issue which has been simplified and made widely available to mothers. if you go on the internet you can find one for probably £30. it is just becoming more and more of an issue. we need to be taking steps to reduce stillbirth, to give the power back to mothers to say, trust your instincts. if you are worried about your baby, go to see a medical professional. do not try to self diagnose, do not reassure yourself. evenif diagnose, do not reassure yourself. even if you are using at 100% correctly, what you are listening to is 100% your baby's heartbeat. that doesn't mean your baby is ok, and actually, you should be seeking medical attention anyway. it says it in the title of your charity,
7:27 am
doesn't it? kicks count. elizabeth, thank you for your time. you're watching breakfast. a big weekend of sport to come. we have been talking about wimbledon. it is also the british grand prix. we thought we were notjust talk about the drivers this year. though, we are talking about the engineers as well. collett is looking at the future of the racing industry. shares in trafalgar square. iam in shares in trafalgar square. i am in trafalgar square. good morning. iam here i am in trafalgar square. good morning. i am here to find out about the kind of technology involved in these cars and the impact it has on manufacturing sector as well as the future of rajesh racing and the british grand prix, at a time of real turbulence at the moment. —— british racing. i will be speaking to the bosses of formula 1 late in the programme, but now it is time for the news, travel and weather where you are. hello. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield. the head of one of the city's biggest employers has told the bbc
7:28 am
that brexit could easily mean thousands of his staff lose theirjobs in london. jamie dimon from the bankjp morgan said there was no question that europe had more cards at the negotiating table and could "dictate" the movement ofjobs. it's understood the majority could be resettled in dublin, frankfurt or luxembourg. you have to to be responsible, you have to think of hard brexit. we would like to keep all of our people in london, but a hard brexit means we have to do certain things. you have seen countries are saying that they want their data centres in the country. that will be part of the trade negotiation, and we don't know the outcome. we hope it is great for the people of britain but we don't know the outcome. dozens of people have been evacuated from their homes in the middle of the night after a large fire at a hospital in surrey. it broke out shortly before midnight
7:29 am
at the weybridge health centre and is now under control. no—one's been hurt but parts of high street are currently closed. a controversial artist has defended his work which profiles some of london's rough sleepers. kristian von hornsleth has installed tracking devices on homeless men who sleep on the capital's streets. their live movements can then be watched by people who purchase an app. some homeless charities have been sceptical but the artist says his work is aimed at challenging the concepts of exploitation. let's have a look at the travel situation now. a good service on all tube lines at the moment. looking at the roads, this is the view of trafalgar square. extensive road closures in the area from midday until midnight for formula 1 live. that is also affecting some bus routes. stations will remain open. oxford street is closed eastbound from oxford circus because of a burst water main. buses are being diverted. that takes us to a check on the weather. hello. a slightly unpromising start to the day today, but we will start to see improvements. the cloud and rain giving way to some sunshine, so a gradual brightening up as we move through the day.
7:30 am
tonight we will see the tail end of that rain clearing out, so some outbreaks of light rain and drizzle, but as we move through the day we start to gradually see some brightness and some sunshine later in the day. patches of cloud here and there, but warm in the sunshine with highs of 22 celsius. through this evening, later spells of sunshine and then overnight we will see a dry night. patchy cloud around, but plenty of clear skies and temperatures falling to an overnight low of around 11—1a celsius. so we will start the day tomorrow on fairly bright conditions. slightly fresher than lately, but plenty of sunshine. maureen the way of cloud through the day, turning into sunny spells, but staying dry, and began temperatures in the 20s. so a maximum tomorrow of 20 celsius, just the risk of an isolated showers with a late afternoon and evening. just the risk of seeing the odd isolated showers and more, things turning more humid into the weekend. i'm back with the latest
7:31 am
from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. our main story is that police investigating the grenfell tower fire say the task of identifying all the people who died in the tragedy could take many months. today marks four weeks since the devastating fire, the head of the recovery team says it's been very hard emotionally and physically. it is difficult, probably the worst incident i have ever dealt with and i've been doing this for 18 years. i've been doing this for 18 years. i've never come across one heart, emotionally and physically, and still challenging. president trump's eldest son has
7:32 am
appeared on television in the united states to say he never told his father about a meeting he had with a russian lawyer, during last year's presidential campaign. he was led to believe that she could offer damaging information that would incriminate mr trump's rival, hillary clinton. donald trump junior told the broadcaster his dad did not know anything about the meeting. it was such a nothing. there was nothing to tell. i wouldn't have even remembered it until you start scouring through the stuff. it was literally a wasted 20 minutes, which is a shame. i probably would have done things differently. this was before the russia—mania, before they were building it up in the press. for me this was opposition research, so i wa nted this was opposition research, so i wanted to hear it out, but nowhere was it apparent that that was what the meeting was about. a charity is calling for uk households to receive a one—off repayment £285 on energy bills because it says network providers have been making excessive profits at the expense of customers. citizens advice says companies managing gas and electricity grids
7:33 am
have been allowed to charge too much by energy regulator 0fgem. but 0fgem and energy providers are disputing the claim, saying they try to ensure customers don't pay more than they need to. lloyds banking group is changing the way overdraft fees work, in a shake—up which will affect millions of customers. starting from november, customers will be charged a single rate of 1p per day for every £7 pounds of planned use of their overdraft. the bank says it will help customers to budget, rather than being hit with a bigger bill weeks later. the national audit office has criticised the government's handling of a new electronic tagging system for offenders in england and wales after the costly project fell five years behind schedule. so far, the ministry ofjustice has spent £60 million on the system. the ministry's ambition for a bespoke world—leading combined gps and radio frequency tag proved unachievable. and the programme was also beset
7:34 am
by problems in the ministry's management of it. trying to find a parking space can be really irritating. now we know exactly how irritating. you're driving up and down roads or car parks and then following people when you think they're going to leave. now research says drivers spend an average of aa hours a year searching for a parking space. the study by the traffic information supplier inrix found it cost the typical motorist hundreds of pounds a year in wasted fuel. i suspect a few live in any of the top cities you would expect this already. a p pa re ntly already. apparently we spend up to £700 wasting fuel. 0h wasting fuel. oh my goodness! would like with your parking, everybody, today. coming up on the programme carol will have the weather from wimbledon.
7:35 am
you saw the fantastic pictures of johanna konta winning yesterday, getting through to the semifinals. that is almost better than the pictures of the winning were the pictures of the winning were the pictures of the winning were the pictures of her afterwards, celebrating with the chelsea pensioners. she spent time posing for selfies, loving every minute. great pictures. they were clearly delighted to be there. he is putting that straight on snapchat! probably! wonderful. straight on their mobiles afterwards as well. fantastic news. sally can talk to us about that. good morning. how young to the chelsea pensioners look these days? that's what is scaring me! fantastic. wasn't it lovely to see jo at the end? she was so focused on the game, you can imagine she might wa nt to the game, you can imagine she might want to just get off court, but she
7:36 am
took time, was relaxed, cool as you like, which is great. she is of course the first woman since virginia wade back in 1978 to reach a wimbledon semi—final. she did it the hard way too. she came from a set down against the world number two, simona halep, underneath the roof on centre court. and after two tie—breaks, and more than two and half hours on court, took the final set 6—a. so next up for konta it's venus williams. she is a tremendous champion and i feel very humbled and excited to share the court with her again. last time she got the better of me, but we've had many great battles, so hopefully we'll be able to create another battle. can't wait for that. so konta will be up against venus williams. she is looking in great form. she saw off french open winner jelena 0stapenko in straight sets. she played brilliantly. meanwhile, magdalena rybarikova became the lowest ranked woman to make the women's semi—finals at wimbledon.
7:37 am
the world number 87 shocked coco wandeweghe, beating the american in straight sets. garbine muguruza reached the final at wimbledon two years ago and she's one step away from another, after beating svetlana kuznetsova in straight sets to reach the semis. and number one seeds jamie murray and martina hingis booked their place in the quarter—finals of the mixed doubles. the pair enjoyed a straight sets win over romanjebavy and lucie hradecka. and the skupski brothers, ken and neal, are through to the quarter finals of the men's doubles. they beat marcus daniell and marcelo demoliner in four sets. they face fourth seeds lukasz kubot and marcelo melo this morning. the scouse brothers only booked their accommodation down here for a week, so they've had to move hotels due to their success on court! they are just starting work on the cove rs o n ce ntre they are just starting work on the covers on centre court. it will get a little bit noisy. let's talk for a
7:38 am
moment about andy murray. he plays the quarter—finals here today against sam querrey. he still looked like it might be struggling yesterday for fitness. he like it might be struggling yesterday forfitness. he is like it might be struggling yesterday for fitness. he is aiming foran yesterday for fitness. he is aiming for an eighth semi—final. his match gets under way at 1pm and then it is raonic playing roger federer. novak djokovic plays thomas berdych in the last eight today after completing a straight—set victory over france's adrian mannarino. the serb appeared unhappy with the condition of centre court and also received treatment on his right shoulder during the match. away from the tennis, germany's marcel kittel outsprinted the field to win the tenth stage of the tour de france in bergerac. britain's chris froome retained the overall leader's yellowjersey. he's 18 seconds in front. the international olympic committee has voted to award hosting rights for both the 202a and 2028 olympics in september. the decision all—but guarantees paris and los angeles will stage the games, as they're the only candidates. the french bid has been backed
7:39 am
by new president emmanuel macron, who was in lausanne for the vote. and finally, with so much rain around yesterday, emergency ponchos were the must have fashion accessory. spare a thought for this man, wearing an emergency poncho. a p pa re ntly wearing an emergency poncho. apparently they need to come with an instruction booklet. it is almost impossible to get one on at once you start to put it on it is pretty much impossible to try to get it. even with help. i think he may be put two arms in one hole. i don't quite know what was going on. my goodness. we are not laughing at him, we are laughing with him. a moment caught by the cameras yesterday. if you wa nt to by the cameras yesterday. if you want to stay home and avoid the rain, you can watch wimbledon on bbc 0ne rain, you can watch wimbledon on bbc one from 12:15pm and you can listen to it on bbc radio 5 live from 12:30 p.m.. they make getting the covers off on
7:40 am
centre court look easy, compared to getting off the poncho. there are 20 people doing this. thanks very much. four weeks ago today, a tragedy was unfolding at grenfell tower. we now know more than 80 people died and hundreds more lost their homes in the blaze. the trauma has had a huge impact on the community. joining us now from central london is miguel alves, who lived on the 13th floor of grenfell tower. thank you very much forjoining us this morning. for weeks on a supposed the first question has to be, how are you and how are your family doing? we are coping. it's
7:41 am
not easy after such an event, but we are coping. we are trying to look forward , are coping. we are trying to look forward, not back, and are trying to change the page. we are coping. tell us what sort of situation you are m, us what sort of situation you are in, what kind of accommodation you have been moved to and how he was leaving your lives. we feel lost, anyway. we are still in a motel room and we feel a bit lost because we don't know what the next move will be. we've been offered a place. it wasn't warm enough. it was something that if i don't like, it was better for me to refuse. we heard a lot in the first few days from people saying they didn't know where to turn, the nowhere to get help, they didn't know where they would be housed. has that improved over the
7:42 am
past few weeks or do you still feel confused about where to turn? yes, there was confusion around that, we didn't know what would be next. but i believe that people are doing the best they can. of course it takes time to rehouse a lot of people and i believe the people who are in charge of it. we will see how they will cope over the next few weeks. september, school starts, and i want stability for my kids. that's the most important thing. of course. because your daughter, i remember we heard at the time she took a gcse exa m heard at the time she took a gcse exam the morning after the fire happened. she went straight to school in her pyjamas. how is she doing our? —— doing now? she was great to do that. actually, she is away for one week. she deserves that
7:43 am
anyway. but she is coping well. the only thing the other day she asked her mother, can i go home? it was very heartbreaking for us, but, anyway, she looks like she is all right. she didn't want any counselling or something. she's a very strong girl, anyway, but we will see in the nearfuture very strong girl, anyway, but we will see in the near future she needs some help. we've talked about the practical help of getting shelter and getting food and clothes, but i suppose getting help for the emotional loss, the emotions of what you've all been through, are you getting enough assistance there or explanation? i mean, we didn't ask for any help from that department. i know there are a lot of nhs people who have offered help. maybe because i tried to be strong
7:44 am
and not go there anyway, but maybe one day, we will never know. when you look back now to four weeks ago, just over four weeks you look back now to four weeks ago, just overfour weeks ago you look back now to four weeks ago, just over four weeks ago your lives we re just over four weeks ago your lives were so just over four weeks ago your lives were so different. can you put into words how things have changed for you and your family words how things have changed for you and yourfamily in the words how things have changed for you and your family in the past month? you know, we had a lovely home. and now we are stuck within four walls of a hotel. there no sense of family. it's just me and my wife. my kids are in another room. i mean, we don't feel like a family. we feel lost in the crisis. are you able to look to the future with any kind of optimism? yes, i have to do that, because first of all i have wonderful kids. academically they
7:45 am
are doing very well up until now and i look forward. i want to close the past and i want to go to the next chapter. just close that chapter and go to the next one. i'm looking forward anyway, because i am alive and a lot of people in the building passed away. i am alive and a very lucky to be alive. that's what i have to look forward to and i have to think that way, it easier for us to think that way, it easier for us to have hope. very powerful words. thank you forjoining us this morning. we wish you and your family all the very best for the weeks and months ahead. thank you for your time. carol's at wimbledon with a look at this morning's weather. rain stopped play yesterday, what will happen today?
7:46 am
today will be dry for most of the day. still some rain in the south—eastern corner. that will clear as we go through the day. the sun will come through. kindly, you can see that the route is open and tim henman is on the court. —— behind me. true to his word, he got mea cup behind me. true to his word, he got me a cup of tea. later we will see some people abseiling from the roof as they do some agents work. it's should stay open today, weatherwise, because he forecast today's dry. when we lose this morning's lab we are looking at some sunshine coming through. it will be feeling pleasant with gentle breezes. for many parts of the uk today that is the forecast. we lose the rain, and any showers that have been left overnight, and then it is going to be dry with lengthy sunny spells. if we start at nine o'clock in the morning across southern areas, we will see the rain clearing away onto the near continent with just a few showers left in the south—east. also, quite a bit of cloud
7:47 am
initially, but that will break up. clear skies in the north from the word go. for northern england, scotla nd word go. for northern england, scotland and northern ireland, a chilly start, but those temperatures will pick up readily in the morning sunshine. for wales as well, a fine start to the day. quite different yesterday, with all that rain. we are looking at some sunshine. a bit nippy if you are stepping up first thing. in south—west england, still under the influence of the weather front by nine o'clock as indeed we will be across southern counties, the south midlands and the home counties, all the way over to east anglia and kent. that will be in the shape of residual cloud. through the day that cloud will continue to break up and we will see some sunshine come through. it will end up sunshine come through. it will end up being a sunny day for most of the uk, witha up being a sunny day for most of the uk, with a bit of fair weather cloud coming and going. in gentle breezes it will feel quite pleasant. eyes up to 23 celsius. —— highs. with an onshore breeze coming in from the north sea across north—eastern england, especially, it will be
7:48 am
cooler along the coastline. in the evening and overnight temperatures will dip. lots of dry weather around. across parts of england and wales we cannot rule out some patchy fog. nothing too dense. in shelter across northern england, scotland and northern ireland, it could well be cool in a touch of frost. so a chilly start to the day tomorrow but we start off with a fair bit of sunshine. for many of us it will be a pleasant start to the day once again. a few showers developing, well scattered through the day, across england, wales and scotland. we will also see a more coherent band of showers coming across north—west scotland. that will be sinking south and getting into northern england by evening. you know the drill with showers. not all of us will see them. temperature wise, more or less where we should be at the stage ofjuly. as we get into friday, there will again be a few showers in the east, but lots of dry weather. a fair bit of sunshine, especially in eastern areas where you miss the showers. in the west
7:49 am
there will be more cloud around. sunny intervals, and again, temperatures where they should be. if you like this fresh weather you are infora if you like this fresh weather you are in for a treat in the next few days. if you like it hot like it was at the beginning of the week, by the time you get to sunday across the southern counties of england, it is very much like temperatures will be back up into the high 20s. that is a henman cup of tea, is it? the real mccoy. it looks pretty strong to me! well, i do like a lot more milk and might even this, but beggars can't be chooses. i'm just grateful. just don't tip it on the grass. it could cause all sorts of problems. you are absolutely right. it looks like weedkiller. it looks perfect to me! would you like this tea, philip? does he deliver? we need some here as well. ahead of this weekend's british grand prix, we're taking a look at the engineers
7:50 am
behind the cars. most of the formula one teams are based in the uk, so we've sent colletta to find out how bright the future is for the motor sports industry here. it is quite an unusual place for this sort of car, trafalgar square. good morning. everybody, welcome to trafalgar square. normally this place is packed with regular traffic. today, a very different sort of car. formula 1 live, a big event happening here in london today. to try to attract new audiences to formula 1. it has been audiences to formula 1. it has been a massive year for formula 1. they have been taken over by an american company called liberty media, and i'm pleased to say that one of the bosses of formula 1, one of the main managers is with us. sean, welcome to this. and kuta joining us. —— thank you forjoining us. good morning. one of your challenges as a
7:51 am
company is to make sure you are getting new audiences. the audience for formula 1 has been falling in the past few years. yes, we have seen the past few years. yes, we have seen that. what this event is intended to do is to serve existing fa ns intended to do is to serve existing fans and shine a line on this extraordinary sport. a tommy that these clouds are going to leave and these clouds are going to leave and the sun will be shining today. we are very excited to be you. the first time in the history of the sport that all ten teams have been in one place outside a grand prix weekend. we have got extraordinary support from the drivers, the teens, our sponsors, and it is going to be a fantastic day. those ten teams that you mentioned, it is interesting, they get most of the money in formula 1. way that the system works means that they get a bigger percentage than any of the smaller companies trying to compete in formula 1. does that make it elitist? do other teams need to get more about cash? i don't think formula 1 is a meritocracy, per se, but it is extraordinarily
7:52 am
competitive. you are starting to see, especially this year, more and more teams showing up on the podium. 0ur more teams showing up on the podium. our objective is to get the back of the group closer to the front of the grid and create an environment where there is more racing, which is much better for fans. that is really what they are excited about. we just did a big brand study on a global basis and one of the principal outgrowths of about is that fans are really interested in racing. that is the central thesis of what we are trying to accomplish. a key question on a lot of people's mines in the uk is the future of a british grand prix. silsden have said that they cannot afford the fees you are charging after 2019. —— silverstone. are you prepared to cut a new deal with them after that? are you prepared to charge them less? we have an extraordinarily positive relationship with our friends and partners of silverstone. we have three more grand prixs this year, 2018 and 2019. a lot can transpire. ican 2018 and 2019. a lot can transpire. i can tell you, and all the fans in great britain, that we are committed
7:53 am
to aid british grand prix. when you say you are committed to it, is that at silverstone, or are you looking at silverstone, or are you looking at different locations after 2019? at silverstone, or are you looking at different locations after 20!9?|j think it is premature to speculative out at stop we have a fantastic race coming up this week. today is all about fans into far the square, really shining the light on them and talking about technology in this sport. —— trafalgar square. celebrating f1 in schools. we have got a show car run later this afternoon or early tonight for fans. and a number of special things that i will not spoil now. you'll have to wait and see what comes along. we are looking at this whole run of ca rs are looking at this whole run of cars that has been set up along here. how much of this technology, developed in formula 1, has actually trickle down into the kind of cars that are driving around on the streets around us? i think it is a very important part of what we do in the sport. i think it is emblematic of the manufacturers that are
7:54 am
involved, that are really committed to this. we are looking at everything from aerodynamics to fuel efficiency. the hybrid technology in these cars. these cars are fuelled. they are not given enough fuel to give ina they are not given enough fuel to give in a race. you cannot refuel during a race. a pretty big percentage of the energy that propels them through the races at extraordinarily high speeds comes from the break and exhaust heat, propelling the hybrid system. so there is a lot of technology that i think people around the world actually benefit from. it is really not known that it comes from formula 1. sean, thank you for not known that it comes from formula !. sean, thank you forjoining us. in the new era of formula 1, after bernie ecclestone, talking about the future of silverstone, and how f1 in packs all the cars we drive. we still want you to do a lap of trafalgar square before the end of the programme. i will try! trafalgar square before the end of the programme. iwill try! i might be running rather than driving, but i will give it a go. that would be
7:55 am
really fu n, i will give it a go. that would be really fun, wouldn't it? you are watching breakfast. still to come this morning, our game, set, mug challenge is proving tough for world class tennis players — but how will singer 0lly murs do? we'll find out later. he does apply key has a steady technique. time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield. the head of one of the city's biggest employers has told the bbc a para— a pa ra— athlete a para— athlete has died following a training accident in new and leisure centre. the united arab emirates javelin and shotput thrower was training for the world para— athletics championship at london stadium on friday. he 36—year—old was pronounced dead at the scene. the head of one of the city's biggest employers has told the bbc that brexit could easily mean thousands of his staff lose theirjobs in london. jamie dimon from the bankjp morgan
7:56 am
said there was no question that europe had more cards at the negotiating table and could "dictate" the movement ofjobs. it's understood the majority could be resettled in dublin, frankfurt or luxembourg. you have to to be responsible. we would like to keep all of our people in london, but a hard brexit means we have to do certain things. you have seen countries are saying that they want their data centres in the country. that will be part of the trade negotiation, and we don't know the outcome. we hope it is great for the people of britain but we don't know the outcome. dozens of people have been evacuated from their homes in the middle of the night after a large fire at a hospital in surrey. it broke out shortly before midnight at the weybridge health centre and is now under control. no—one's been hurt but parts of high street are currently closed. a controversial artist has defended his work which profiles let's have a look at the travel situation now. a good service on all tube lines at the moment.
7:57 am
looking at the roads, this is the view of trafalgar square. extensive road closures in the area from midday until midnight for formula 1 live. that is also affecting some bus routes. stations will remain open. oxford street is closed eastbound from oxford circus because of a burst water main. buses are being diverted. that takes us to a check on the weather. hello. a slightly unpromising start to the day today, but we will start to see improvements. the cloud and rain giving way to some sunshine, so a gradual brightening up as we move through the day. tonight we will see the tail end of that rain clearing out, so some outbreaks of light rain and drizzle, but as we move through the day we start to gradually see some brightness and some sunshine later in the day. patches of cloud here and there, but warm in the sunshine with highs of 22 celsius. through this evening, later spells of sunshine and then overnight we will see a dry night. patchy cloud around, but plenty of clear skies and temperatures falling to an overnight low of around 11—1a celsius. so we will start the day tomorrow on fairly bright conditions. slightly fresher than lately, but plenty of sunshine. maureen the way of cloud
7:58 am
through the day, turning into sunny spells, but staying dry, and began temperatures in the 20s. so a maximum tomorrow of 20 celsius, just the risk of an isolated showers with a late afternoon and evening. just the risk of seeing the odd isolated showers and more, things turning more humid into the weekend. not looking too bad, then. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, withjon kay and louise minchin.
7:59 am
four weeks on from the grenfell towerfire, the head of the recovery team says their operation is the worst he's ever faced. the tragedy will be discussed in the commons later, as labour attacks what it calls the government's chaotic response. tonight a vigil will held as the community remembers all of those whose lives have been affected. first week was pretty hard then it got a bit easier after a few weeks and then when this started happening this distracts you a lot. we'll find out how a special play scheme is helping children to cope with the trauma. good morning. it's wednesday the 12th ofjuly. also this morning: wimbledon dreaming.
8:00 am
johanna konta pulls off a nail—biting victory. she's through to the semi—finals. the first british woman to achieve that feat for 39 years. andy murray will be bidding to join her in the last four later today. donald trump's son denies telling his father anything about a meeting with a russian lawyer thought to be part of a campaign to help him get elected. it was such a nothing. there was nothing to tell. i would not even have remembered it until you start scouring through the stuff. it was literally a wasted 20 minutes, which was a shame. i heard of the british grand prix i am finding out about the business behind formula one manufacturing in the uk and i will be loaning how to change one of these very quickly. from foxtrot to flashdance, strictly pro and glitterball champ
8:01 am
joanne clifton will be here to tell us about her new challenge. and carol has the weather. it isa it is a cloudy start to the day at wimbledon and a lot of us have seen heavy rain in the last 12 hours. that is moving into the north sea and for most of the uk including wimbledon it is going to be dry, sunny and eventually pleasantly warm. i will be back later in the programme. good morning. first, our main story. police investigating the grenfell tower fire say the task of identifying all the people who died in the tragedy could take many months. the head of the recovery team says it's the worst incident he's ever dealt with. today marks four weeks since the devastating fire, and tonight the community will come together for a vigil to honour those who lost their lives, as sarah smith reports. four weeks of grief and shock, of searching for loved ones
8:02 am
and searching for answers. police estimate at least 80 people lost their lives. it is the job of the disaster victim identification teams to find any remains. the man leading the job says that it's the worst incident he has ever dealt with. we are looking at a fingertip search of all the flats, all floors. that would involve officers on their hands and knees. i feel passionate about getting those people back to their loved ones. i understand how frustrating it is for people outside of this environment to sit there and wait and say, why can't i have my family back? surely it's easy. it's not. tonight, in the shadow of grenfell‘s blackened shell, a vigil will be held to remember those who died. one of those who escaped the burning tower is antonio roncolato, woken by his son who saw the flames as he returned home. the smoke was very thick, very horrible smell, obviously. burning, very warm.
8:03 am
i said there was no way i could get out there. someone has to rescue me. he would be led to safety by firefighters. the questions over what happened here started before the flames were even out. similar cladding on more than 200 other buildings has since failed safety tests. labour has called for the process to be speeded up, saying the government has been too slow both in helping grenfell residents and making sure other blocks are safe. later today there will be a debate in parliament over the enquiry to be held into the fire. four weeks on and the real business of finding answers feels as though it is onlyjust getting started. we can speak to our reporter who is in north kensington this morning. four weeks on there is a lot we know but a lot of things being
8:04 am
investigated. absolutely. i can tell you some of the things we know and some of the figures we have according to the metropolitan police. the number of dead or still missing stands at 80 with officers warning some of the victims in the town where men never be identified. earlier this week the metropolitan police said 255 people they believe escaped from the tower, 1a of those residents were not staying in the building at the time. according to the new response team 157 households would govern emergency accommodation. four weeks on all of those have been offered some sort of alternative accommodation. 18 of those offers have been accepted and four households have been remodelled. as well as the inquiry going on into the disaster the government is testing other
8:05 am
buildings across the country that had similar cladding. 200 blocks have been tested and there has been a 100% for your rate which has created many questions. as for the murdered near the tower of this is one of the churches where people have been coming —— the mood. a vigil will take place here later learned that gives you a sense of the mid—. people trying to come to terms with what has happened. trying to shed some light on the very dark situation. we will have more from g re nfell tower situation. we will have more from grenfell tower in a few minutes. we will speak to somebody who is working with the children who have been affected. johanna konta is into the semi—finals of wimbledon. she's gone further in the singles than any british woman for nearly a0 years. konta is now the bookies'
8:06 am
favourite for the title, but standing in her way tomorrow will be venus williams. 0ur reporter was watching yesterday's action. it's hard to think that johanna konta had only won one match at wimbledon before this year. now, after a nerve shredding victory against simona halep, she is two wins from the title. i've always believed in my own ability and i've always dreamt big. but i don't give myself too much time to dream and more focus on the work. as is often the british way on centre court, she did it the hard way. she lost the first set on a tie—break against the second seed, not playing badly, she just needed to find the winning combination. relying on a powerful serve and a booming backhand seemed as good a ploy as any. to the decider it went. konta credits much of her rise up the rankings to the work on the mental side of the game and under this pressure you could
8:07 am
see it flow into her racket. inside they tried to raise the roof. outside they tried to make themselves heard through it. konta has captured the nation. the first british woman into the final since virginia wade in 1978. konta winning over new fans and a few older ones as well. the role on centre court is amazing. andy murray will be playing later. president trump's eldest son has appeared on television in the united states to say he never told his father about a meeting he had with a russian lawyer, during last year's presidential campaign. he was led to believe that she could offer damaging information that would incriminate mr trump's rival, hillary clinton. the e—mails feature an exchange
8:08 am
between donald trumer and the british publicist rob goldstone. early in the thread, goldstone says that he can broker a meeting with a russian journalist, who says he has damaging information about hillary clinton, information which would be "useful for your father". the e—mail continues. donald trumer replied simply. in retrospect, i probably would have done things differently. again, this is before russiamania. for me this was opposition research, so i wanted to hear it out. nowhere was it apparent that this is what the meeting was about. president trump has been largely silent on the issue, saying only that his son was a high—quality person and that he applauded his transparency. did you tell your father anything
8:09 am
about this? no. it was such a nothing. there was nothing to tell. i mean, i wouldn't have even remembered it until you start scouring through the stuff. it was literally a wasted 20 minutes, which was a shame. the fact that donald trump's son—in—lanared kushner was also present at the meeting at trump tower only adds the concern here. a charity is calling for uk households to receive a one—off repayment of £285 on energy bills because it says network providers have been making excessive profits at the expense of customers. citizens advice says companies managing gas and electricity grids have been allowed to charge too much by energy regulator 0fgem. but 0fgem and energy providers are disputing the claim, saying they try to ensure customers don't pay more than they need to. if you usually go to bed late or wake up at the crack of dawn every morning, your ancestors could be to blame. a study from scientists in the united states suggests
8:10 am
different sleep patterns may have been an advantage in the distant past, when we lived and slept in groups and needed someone to keep watch at all times of the day and night. which shift would you go for it? as late as possible. i would as well. you must be an early person?” late as possible. i would as well. you must be an early person? i am still struggling. back to one of today's main stories. today, the community will remember the 80 people who died in the blaze at a vigil this evening. the tragedy has had a huge impact on the community and, in particular, the children who live in the area. breakfast‘s graham satchell has been to see how they're coping four weeks on. in sight of grenfell tower, fun and laughter.
8:11 am
this is kids on the green, a safe space where children are encouraged to be children. football is really fun. there is lots of food. it is really fun overall. the first week was pretty hard, then it got a bit easier, after a few weeks, and then when this started happening, you come here and it distracts you a lot. kids on the green is run by volunteers. teachers, therapists, entertainers and even hairdressers. children can play and be supported, and parents can get some respite. i've got two boys and an older girl who is 13. and a couple of her friends were in the tower. so she has been really affected by it and upset. it is hard to know that some of the neighbours, some of the children that my kids were friends with, are no longer with us.
8:12 am
and the building being right there in our faces, it doesn't help. so being in this space, it helps us to forget. we look forward to having it the next day. one month after the fire, the impact on some of the children is only now starting to show. the last week, some of the symptoms have become more severe. we find that a lot of kids have been scared to go to bed, they have been scared to go to sleep. so we are giving parents lots of practical support in resetting those routines and making their children feel safe. everybody likes to have fun. this is for grenfell tower. just hope that all the residents who live there are really, like, that they are ok and that they are just, um, getting lovely treatments and everybody can help get them a new home. in the art tent, children can
8:13 am
paint anything they want. most of them draw the tower. we have a team of art therapists on site, so children drawing disturbing pictures are supported. perhaps they might want to talk. it is very sad that so many children witnessed it. such widespread sadness and horror. all the children here have witnessed unimaginable horror. we asked for a show of hands for those who knew someone who had died. this isjust the beginning of the healing process. but we know that the healing is going to take years. it is going to take a very long time. it will take time. but kids on the green is a chance to escape, to play, to be normal and forget. joining us is a psychotherapist and
8:14 am
one of the organisers of tonight's the jaw. i know you worked specifically with some of the children involved with art. what kind of things are the painting?” am an art therapist, notjust a psychotherapist. we have set up art therapy as a response to grenfell tower and that has been going since the saturday after the fire. it has been a chance for them to process some of the difficult, and feelings they have had relating to the fire, they have had relating to the fire, the building and loss of friends and teachers and the loss in the community which has been enormous.
8:15 am
how is art helping them? art therapy is incredibly important in this time, because there are no words for this. we as adults don't have the words to relieve make sense of this, so words to relieve make sense of this, so in the arts, the children are able to really process it in a safe way, which isn't reliant on verbal communication, and that has been very, very important from the very beginning for all these children and young people, and the adults actually. and i know that you live very close, your children were woken up very close, your children were woken up on that night, but it resonates throughout the whole community this, doesn't it? yes, it does, and i know people whose children have lost 1a friends between them. the local school which is near to the henry dickens where the art therapy was first set up, we have since expanded, but that local school has lost nine children and a teacher, so there are so many people affected
8:16 am
and so much loss that it is almost sort of a —— sort of incomprehensible to us at the moment in the community. eartha pond, i know you are involved with organising this vigil, what sort of things will be put be saying?m organising this vigil, what sort of things will be put be saying? it is just an opportunity for the community, the survivors, evacuees and local residents to come and solidarity in the time and they have been split up over different hotels, different locations, and it is a poignant time to remember what has happened, for weeks on. poignant time to remember what has happened, forweeks on. it poignant time to remember what has happened, for weeks on. it seems that not much has been done from higherup, from that not much has been done from higher up, from the state, and this is an opportunity for local people to have a voice and say we are still here and what is happening. and these images that everybody saw are seared on people's memories, aren't they? it can't change, especially with the tower still being up, every time someone local comes out, they look out the window, the building is
8:17 am
still there. it is like continuous trauma, and the community haven't moved on, they haven't had the support to move on, and it is something that as a community we are therefore each other and we be altered demonstrate that in a peaceful, quiet vigil at 8pm. susan, i know that you live close, on the night, were you aware of what was happening? of course, yeah. my husband woke me up, because he had heard all the sirens enever thing and it was so loud around here, and we all ran into the street, we are one community, we all ran out to help, to try and see what we can do. many of us stayed out all night helping and supporting each other, and anybody that was evacuated, anybody from the tower, and we carried on for days and days and days, and came together in the most wonderful way. it days, and came together in the most wonderfulway. it has days, and came together in the most wonderful way. it has been something very touching to see the community
8:18 am
as well. eartha, we are hearing that it could take months for the victims to be identified. what kind of impact is that having on people?” think itjust adds impact is that having on people?” think it just adds to the frustration. there is minimal contact happening on the ground, minimal information being shared to the community and people are still missing loved ones, holding on to hope that they have survived but at the moment in time there is no communication and that isjust adding to the anger and frustration. people are not physically angry but emotionally there are so many different strands to the way people are trying to express themselves and theyjust don't have that support. what do you think should be done about it, eartha? the first thing we need to identify is how would we come to the situation? and the key thing that comes over, it seems that the council higher up the stick people over profit. there is nothing
8:19 am
that the council is coming forward to navigate — — that the council is coming forward to navigate —— the council higher up, they took people over profit. then we can start moving on, even beginning to mourn properly for lost ones. but we just don't have any concrete information and there is no one forthcoming with that.” concrete information and there is no one forthcoming with that. i really appreciate your time, eartha pond and susie roddick. thank you for your time. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning... a month on from the devastating grenfell tower fire, the head of the team recovering the victims bodies says it's the worst incident he's ever dealt with. after a nail—biting last—eight battle, johanna konta becomes the first british female wimbledon semi—finalist for nearly a0 years. that is go to wimbledon now, shall we? caroljoins
8:20 am
that is go to wimbledon now, shall we? carol joins us that is go to wimbledon now, shall we? caroljoins us live with the weather. covers on, covers off, already? absolutely right. good morning, all. you can see the spectacular view over centre court, right above the royal box. you conceal so that the royal box is currently covered. the seats in the royal box are more like armchairs, compared to the seat you can see all around. and what a view, because the last time we had a british ladies single player in the wimbledon championships was way back in 1978. in1978, it championships was way back in 1978. in 1978, it was a pretty dull and also a wet year and play was interrupted on seven days due to the weather. today it is not going to be like that. at the moment, a weather front has just gone through us, the breeze has picked up, the cloud is with us, we could see a shower in the next hour or so but we will be very unlucky if we do, because the forecast for wimbledon beyond that is actually very nice. it is going to brighten up, the sun will come
8:21 am
out, and temperature—wise, we are looking into the low 20s. out, and temperature—wise, we are looking into the low 205. quite a drop compared to last week, but having said that still quite co mforta ble having said that still quite comfortable and pleasant. for most of the uk today, it will be dry and it will also be sunny, when we lose the showers and also the rain. so the showers and also the rain. so the forecast at 9pm, this isn't the current picture, shows that the rain will then have cleared the south—east. there will be some residual cloud and there will also be one or two showers around as well. they will be clearing as we go through the next few hours. drifting further north into the midlands, northern england and scotland, it is a chilly start but the sun is already out and we will hang onto that a much of the day. the northern ireland, you also have a chilly start of the day, but a lot of sunshine, the same for wales, a chilly start, a lot of sunshine, certainly compared yesterday, what a difference. to the south west england, drifting across southern counties, into the home counties and backin counties, into the home counties and back in the east anglia and kent, again we have that residual cloud left over from the weather front. through the course of the day that
8:22 am
cloud will break up and we will see some sunshine coming through. in light breezes in the sunshine it will feel quite pleasant. temperatures today getting up for some of us to about 22, 20 three celsius, but there is a noticeable breeze coming in from the north sea, particularly across the north coast of england and here it will feel cooler with temperatures between 1a and 16 celsius. if you have a chance to enjoy the sunshine, you will be pleased to hear or maybe not that once again the pollen levels are up, so once again the pollen levels are up, so you once again the pollen levels are up, so you are once again the pollen levels are up, so you are looking at high or very high, except across parts of scotla nd high, except across parts of scotland where they are low or moderate in the same across north—east england where they are also moderate. as we had on through the evening and overnight, mostly dry once again. in the south, looking at the risk of some isolated patchy fog, but that won't last long into tomorrow morning. across northern ireland, scotland and northern england, you are looking at the risk in sheltered areas of a touch of frost. temperatures will be
8:23 am
low enough that. tomorrow we start off on low enough that. tomorrow we start offona low enough that. tomorrow we start off on a fine note, folk clearing quite readily. through the day, —— the fog will be clearing. tomorrow, some scattered showers, but at the same timea some scattered showers, but at the same time a more coherent band of showers across north—west scotland, which will migrate through northern ireland. as we had on the friday, lovely start of the day, a loss of sunshine around. a few showers in the east, in the west there will be a bit more cloud. sunny intervals rather than wall—to—wall blue skies but nonetheless still a pleasant day, and if you are finding itjust a wee bit fresh after the high temperatures we have seen, by sunday it looks very much like in the south we will see a return to temperatures into the high 205, once again. the british grand prix starts this weekend, but how bright is the future for formula one here in the uk? colletta has been finding out, while also taking a look inside some of the f1 cars, at trafalgar square this morning. it seems like an unusual place for
8:24 am
them. good morning. good morning, yes, it is a pretty unusual location. this is the kind of traffic you normally see going round trafalgar square, but today, as we have seen through the programme, the square is packed with formula 1 cars, square is packed with formula 1 ca rs, ca rs square is packed with formula 1 cars, cars of a very different type indeed. iam here cars, cars of a very different type indeed. i am here to find out about the manufacturing behind them, because the uk is ready good at. seven of formula 1's main companies are based here in the uk and i am joined by a whole lot of f1 in schools finalists, they are through to the final of the competition. alicia is one of them, what is it about formula 1 technology you are interested in? well, as an engineering apprentice, a group of friends at college have already participated in the competition before and they got me really hyped up before and they got me really hyped up and interested about it. it has just been a really great learning
8:25 am
experience since then. you are learning about the kind of technology, and how it filters down into lots of different engineering and manufacturing sectors. yes, it is all applicable. i have a completely different job to this but it is all applicable, definitely. ales ha it is all applicable, definitely. alesha widdall nowjoin me, along with oscar, on my team, because we are going to change the front wheel of this vehicle. we are in a pit stop, and unfortunately we will be racing against these guys, who are considerably more practice doing the back wheel, but we are going to give itago back wheel, but we are going to give it a go at! we had a little girl this before and i wasn't all that successful. they have put me in charge of the gun, so i will give it a go. ready to campus in? three, two, one, go! -- we had a little go at this. ready to count us in. definitely harder than it looks! there you are, that is how to change
8:26 am
