while here at wimbledon, it's women's finals day, as 37—year—old venus williams looks to become the oldest winner in the open era. she takes on garbine muguruza, live on the bbc on centre court. and jay has the weather. today will be the wetter of the two days of the weekend. most of the rain will be in the north and west of the uk. the further south you are, temperatures are on the rise, as is the humidity. good morning. first, our main story. laws on buying and carrying acid are to be reviewed by the government following a spate of attacks which took place in london on thursday night. five people had corrosive liquid thrown at them, including one man who is said to have suffered life—changing injuries. two teenage boys, aged 15 and 16, remain in custody on suspicion of robbery and grievous bodily harm with intent. andy moore's report contains flashing images and some scenes you may find distressing. where's it hurt, mate — your eyes?

we need to try and get water in your eyes... in the aftermath of the first attack, police doused the victim with water. he was protected by his helmet, and lucky to escape with only minor injuries. but even so, it was a terrifying experience. i took off my helmet, and i wasjust screaming for help, because it was getting dry, and as much as it was getting dry, it was burning. so i was just screaming for water, screaming for help, knocking on all the doors and car windows. another moped rider attacked at this location was not so lucky. he has life—changing injuries to his face. the shadow home secretary called the attacks horrific and barbaric. she is calling for tighter controls. nobody in their own home needs pure sulphuric acid. there are different alternatives for cleaning your drains. no—one should be able to buy sulphuric acid unless they're a builder or a workman who needs it

in the course of their profession, and they should have a licence. the government says it is working with the police to see what more can be done to combat the growing menace of acid attacks. andy moore, bbc news. there are calls for a more consistent response to major incidents from all fire brigades in the uk following the grenfell tower disaster. a bbc news investigation found that crew levels and equipment vary significantly across the country, leading to what the fire brigades union has described as a postcode lottery. holly hamilton reports. more than a month on, there is now a clear picture of how the london fire brigade responded to the blaze. last week, it emerged it took more than 30 minutes for a high ladder to arrive after the first fire engine. until grenfell, automatically bringing this piece of equipment to a tower block was not part

predetermined attendance plan. but a bbc newsnight investigation has found that is different from 70% of fire services in the uk with high—rise blocks in their region. the investigation also revealed significant variations in the number of fire engines dispatched across the country. it has prompted calls for the government to implement mandatory minimum requirements for fire services who are attending high—rise fires. we have raised concerns about this sort of issue for more than a decade. we used to have national standards of fire cover. we now have local so—called risk management plans. what they are in reality is budget management plans. we have seen the risk assessments over time, as budgets are squeezed, the response has declined over the past few years. since grenfell tower, four services, including london and manchester, have changed their attendance plans, while nine say they still would not send an aerial ladder in the first instance. the home office says it is the responsibility of each fire and rescue authority

to manage their own resources. holly hamilton, bbc news. the former prime minister tony blair has claimed that senior figures in the eu have told him they are prepared to be flexible on freedom of movement in order to accommodate britain after brexit. mr blair made the claim in an article written for his own charitable institute. just last week, the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, said the freedom of movement of people, goods, services and capital were indivisible. let's talk more about this. our political correspondent, emma vardy, joins us now from our london newsroom. hello, and. let's get down to what mr blair has said. what's in this article? this is his latest intervention, an attempt to influence the brexit debate. the key claim that he is making is that eu leaders are now prepared to change the rules on freedom of movement to accommodate britain. so essentially saying that britain could gain greater control of its borders and

bring down emigration, whilst still staying within a reformed eu. now, this may sound a little bit like, well, having your cake and eating it. up until now, we understand that opting out of the rules for freedom of movement does mean leaving the single market. but tony blair says, no, hang on, there could be a compromise, there could be another way, don't discount it. in the media account this morning, some people are saying, what does it matter what tony blair says? he is a former prime minister, but he is irrelevant now. is this significant? for some, he is still a big player in politics and his argument may carry some weight. he has put himself forward ona weight. he has put himself forward on a mission to lead the anti—brexit fight back. some people will see him asa fight back. some people will see him as a rather irrelevant voice in this debate. and of course at the moment it does appear that we are not releasing the evidence to back up the argument —— we are not really seeing the evidence. michel barnier was saying that movement of goods

and services and people was indivisible. people have tried in the past to reform the eu, and have failed. it does seem like a rather big ask. but tony blair knows how to be persuasive and make headlines. he is using his old tony blair touch to try and steer the country in a different direction on brexit. 7,000 police officers, soldiers, officials and academics have been sacked in turkey, where a national holiday is being held to mark the first anniversary of a failed attempt to remove president erdogan. the authorities have accused them of being members of terrorist organisations or of groups working against the national interest. 150,000 people have now been arrested or sacked since the thwarted coup. here, there are plans to extend a scheme which allows members of the public to call for harsher sentences in england and wales. the unduly lenient sentence scheme already covers serious terror offences and crimes such as murder and rape. the ministry ofjustice now wants it to apply to people who have been

convicted of offences such as encouraging terrorism. we've been looking at this for some time. a lot of work has gone into it. what we are making sure is that there is a system in place for the victims of terror offences, that they are properly checked. also, making sure that those who wilfully and culpably turn a blind eye to terrorist activity feel the full force of the law. wages are increasing at their slowest rate for five years, which is hitting young families in particular, according to new research. the resolution foundation, which analyses living standards, says average income growth halved to 0.7% in the year before the general election, as our business correspondent, joe lynam, reports. when theresa may became prime minister a year ago, she promised to work hardest for those "just about managing." but a year later, those so—called jams have seen the rate at which their incomes grow more than halved.

in 2016, it stood at 1.6%, butjust before the general election, it fell to 0.7%. before the financial crisis in 2008, incomes had grown an average rate ofjust over 2%. incomes for younger families, though, have not risen at all in 15 years. while pensioner incomes have grown by 30% in that time, due to soaring property values. the big winners have been those with mortgages, who have seen the interest rate on their mortgage come down significantly. and if they've stayed in theirjobs, yes, they may not get the earnings growth they wanted, but they have benefited from the low interest rates. the big losers have been the young people. young people are still 10% lower than where they were today. and if they're renting, there is even more pressure on the budget. while average households have seen their income stagnate of late, the wealthiest 1% of the population are said to have the largest—ever

share of britain's total wealth. joe lynam, bbc news. a shortlist of five contenders has been announced in the race to be uk city of culture 2021, taking over from hull. drum roll! here we go! coventry, paisley, sunderland, swansea and stoke—on—trent are all still in the running to host the year—long celebration of art and performance, which happens every four years. the winner will be announced in december. so, we've got to keep rolling the drums until then! yeah, so, we've got to keep rolling the drums untilthen! yeah, it so, we've got to keep rolling the drums until then! yeah, it wasn't great! some of the world is largest carnivores are being squeezed out of their natural habitat due to farming and human settlements. six species, including tigers and lions, have lost at least 90% of the areas that they have his territory occupied. researchers say the reintroduction into these landscapes would mean human beings more willing to share habitats with animals like wolves.

the time is 8:10am. jay wynne will have the weather little later, and michael have the latest from wimbledon. in the last two years, the number of acid attacks in london has more than doubled. up to the end of april this year, the met has recorded a staggering 66 assaults involving corrosive substances. currently, there are no age restrictions on buying household bleach or drain cleaning products in the uk, but there are calls for regulations to be tightened after five people were attacked in the capital on thursday. we'rejoined now by simon harding, a criminologist and expert on gangs at middlesex university. good morning. thank you forjoining us. good morning. thank you forjoining us. wides in greece? what's going on here? uk's bucking the trend internationally —— why this increase. acid throwing internationally in asia, southeast asia, it is largely men attacking women, usually around issues of honour —based violence and domestic violence. but here it is men

attacking men. and what appears to have happened is the idea of throwing acid has now been picked up and adopted by urban street gangs, and adopted by urban street gangs, and they are using it quite often as and they are using it quite often as a weapon of first resort rather than a weapon of first resort rather than a weapon of last resort. we've been talking today about labour and certain campaigners calling for tighter laws when it comes to carrying corrosive liquids. is that going to make a difference? in comparison to the laws surrounding knives and harmful weapons? well, comparison to the laws surrounding knives and harmfulweapons? well, i certainly hope so. i think some action does need to be taken. 0ne certainly hope so. i think some action does need to be taken. one of theissues action does need to be taken. one of the issues around acid is that its ease of purchase and availability. these are rough and household products, but they are also products that people can acquire —— these are often household products. these are also products that people can acquire from retailers and wholesalers in high strength and high—volume, we need to crack down on that. the government are looking

at the policies, that is part of their research around this. one of their research around this. one of the potential avenues for us is around the transportation or the carrying of this material. how would that be monitored, though? i mean, are we talking about street searches, by police? very difficult. you may have to introduce some kind of license saying in order to transport or carry... but what young lads will do is they will transfer the acid material into a sports bottle or a drinks bottle, and then carry it with them. and they know that when there is a stop and search, possibly for a knife, the police are not going to be looking for a liquid in a bottle that is odourless, colourless, and they will be able to get rid of it very easily if they are searched for it. the uk is bucking the international trend. is that because the rules here are different from other countries? no,

i don't think it's quite so much that, jon magrin. it's more the fact that, jon magrin. it's more the fact that it that, jon magrin. it's more the fact thatitis that, jon magrin. it's more the fact that it is based here around criminal activity. another reason for the escalation or the rise in acid attacks in this country is that it's actually used in a wide variety of different types of criminal activity. so, intimidation of court witnesses, robbery, theft, drug deals that have gone wrong. revenge and retaliation against somebody who has disrespected you all annoyed you. what we do know is that the vast majority of attacks in this country, the victim is known to the offender. whilst the general public may feel that there is a load of random attacks taking place, in actual fact they are pretty targeted. also, i was reading your research into this. it seems it has been brought into initiation of gang members as well. i haven't quite found that yet, but i have spoken to a few gang members. they are

certainly aware of the clamp—down on knives. so there is some anecdotal suggestion that there is a shift from carrying knives to carrying acid. and when i asked them why, they would say, well, if you're going to use a knife against somebody, you have to get very close to them. there is a proximity that you have to have. whereas with acid, you have to have. whereas with acid, you can throw it at a distance. so in actualfact, they you can throw it at a distance. so in actual fact, they feel safer than approaching somebody with a knife. it's a rather extraordinary situation. but one of them described it as... situation. but one of them described itas...i situation. but one of them described it as... isaid, situation. but one of them described it as... i said, why do you have this? why would you consider doing this? why would you consider doing this? and they said, well, its insta nt torture this? and they said, well, its instant torture in a bottle is to point wow, it's just terrific. thank you so much for your time this morning, simon harding. j j wynnejoins us j wynne joins us with the weather this morning. 0minous black clouds behind you there? yes, there is a lot of cloud up there this morning

and some rain as well. most of it as and some rain as well. most of it as a way from the southernmost counties of england, and for most places it will be a warm and muggy day today. warm aircoming in will be a warm and muggy day today. warm air coming in from the atlantic, coming in with these weather fronts. you can atlantic, coming in with these weatherfronts. you can see atlantic, coming in with these weather fronts. you can see the ice bars, a bit breezy and cloudy, and there is some rain to be had as well —— the isobars. most of the rain will be across the western side of scotland, there will be some further south, but not much south of the m4 corridor. today it will be wet for much of the day across central and western scotland. maybe a little bit drier developing towards aberdeenshire into the afternoon. rain on and off through this morning across northern ireland, a further speu across northern ireland, a further spell of rain pushing south into the afternoon. quite warm, in the mid—20s. in northern england, most of the rain will be through this morning. come the afternoon, dry weather but pretty cloudy, pretty grey on the western side of the pennines, drizzle continuing. low cloud lingering in wales, and the south—west. the odd spot of light rain. most of the rain clears away

from east anglia. it will be a warm afternoon in the london area for wimbledon. chance of a bit of rain in the early afternoon. but becoming drier or while, staying warm and humid. increasingly so until tomorrow. this evening and overnight we have rain eventually moving away from scotland and northern ireland. sinking its way south into northern england. no cloud in wales and the south—west. a warm night ahead, 16 01’ south—west. a warm night ahead, 16 or 17 south—west. a warm night ahead, 16 or17 —— low south—west. a warm night ahead, 16 or 17 —— low cloud in wales. usher in the north of scotland, 10—11d. fresh air is coming in behind this weather front, sinking slowly southward, bringing cloud and a few spots of rain into tomorrow. in north— south split through tomorrow, the northern half of the uk staying cloudy with an odd spot of rain, becoming lighter and patchy. further north it is brighter, good spells of sunshine. a shower or two in the north and scotland. temperatures in the upper teens, but it will be in

aduu the upper teens, but it will be in adult 20s further south. it will be still fairly humid. adult 20s further south. it will be stillfairly humid. —— adult 20s further south. it will be still fairly humid. —— in the upper 20s. you're watching breakfast microbe from bbc news, thank you for being with us this saturday morning. it's time to look at the morning papers. tim walker is here to tell us what's caught his eye. good morning. we'll be with you in a second to find out what you've seen. we'll look at the front pages, starting with the times newspaper. they have a picture of the queen saying goodbye to the king of spain. following on from the debate that we we re following on from the debate that we were just having about acid attacks, saying that the law should be used to class acid attacks and the possession of acid in the same way that nice crime has been tackled in the uk. let's take a look at the sun newspaper, taking a look at the comment that the chancellor, phil hammond, allegedly said. he was talking about driving trains, and he

said now so easy that even a woman can do it. this remark was reportedly made in front of the whole cabinet. apparently it led to a withering slap down the prime minister, theresa may. the front page of this morning's mira, they lead with the fact that but american doctor who wants to treat charlie gard and believes he might be able to deal with him and give him some hope of survival will be coming into the uk on monday to examine charlie and give his findings to a court. let's look at the daily mail. it's taking a look at a summer hire car rip—off, saying that holiday—makers face a bill of up to £2200 if they damage their higher abroad. it's taking a look at excess charges that car hire firms are imposing upon customers involved in an accident overseas. tim, the first thing you have chosen is this interview with vince cable in the guardian about brexit, a subject close to your

heart, i know. absolutely. vince cable, a challenge of course for the lib dem leadership, and a man of course he warned us of the banking crisis, the actually talks really of his despair at quite how inflammatory our discourse, our language in politics is now becoming. we saw in the commons this week, you know, mps, often women mps, talking of the terrible abuse, the threats that they have received. we saw a man jailed for the threats that he made to gina miller, who took the government to court over article 50. and i read of course last night of a senior television journalist, i won't name her because it would make things even worse, who has also been subjected to terrible threats to the extent that she needs police protection. vince cable says, particularly on this issue of brexit, the book seem to have lost any sense of proportion. and he isn't a man of 7a, he is saying that people routinely threatened to beat him up, who abuse him online. and he

says, we really do need, all of us on all sides of the argument, to be very careful about the language that we now use. he says that brexiteers have warned of riots at the first sign of backsliding over brexit. he said that is dangerous and inflammatory language, and incitement to violence. is it? i think so. i think language has an effect. i did think even after theresa may said after the terrible terrorist incident in london, enough is enough. i think certain language you use in certain situations. and i think sometimes it can cause... cause people to become more heated. i think there's a lot to be said for using language, particularly maybe with some tabloid newspapers do, i might add, conducive to a more rational debate, maybe. , violent stuff ca n not rational debate, maybe. , violent stuff cannot be excused, but there isa stuff cannot be excused, but there is a lot of frustration out that for people who voted for brexit that people who voted for brexit that people like vince cable and tony blairare people like vince cable and tony blair are refusing to accept what

the people have said.|j blair are refusing to accept what the people have said. i accept that. cable in this interview said committee accepts what people have said. what this man is warning about is that it is a more concentrated issue than people had envisaged. what depresses me. i mean, there are newspapers that i used to work on and we would always be prepared to see another side or be prepared to have a discourse. what saddens me about our political debate now is it kind of, i'm right and you're wrong, not let's chat about the conversations of it. let's take a look at this story you picked up. the press watchdog upholding the royal privacy complaint by prince harry. prince harry and the royal family have established a red light in terms of what they are prepared to put up with, in terms of the way that they are treated and what people say about them. pictures of course that are taken of them. harry was on a private beach injamaica with his girlfriend, meghan markle, when he was photographed. and the pictures ended up on the website of a national paper. harry winks tuitt so, the independent press standards

organisation, —— harry went to it so. he had a reasonable expectation of privacy. if you are a member of the royal family, your expectation of privacy is not going to be great. but he is saying, there are times when i'm in a private situation when i shouldn't be photographed. interestingly, they have upheld the complaint, and it will have an effect on the way that particularly the younger royals are reported. the younger royals are perhaps prepared to put up with what their parents had to put up with. body language reading experts are having a field day, aren't they, analysing the meetings between president and president trump in paris over the last couple of days. i mean, this handshake of 29 seconds when neither of them was prepared to be the one who let go... it's very odd. it's all areas. the white house are denying that it went on for a full 29 seconds, 29 minutes would be a long one even for him! there they

were, and neither of them would let go. it became after a while i would say almost an invasion, certainly of their body space. there is a point when you should be able to let go. trump isa when you should be able to let go. trump is a man who can't seem to let go. people say that it's a man thing. it is one man said in his power and dominance of another man. u nfortu nately for power and dominance of another man. unfortunately for the women, he does it to them too. and indeed with brigitte macron, he wouldn't let go of her. in fact, he also shook her hand and then he kissed her, maybe it was the other way around. i do think it is either one or the other, you shouldn't both kiss somebody... he famously held onto theresa may other white house. brigitte macron has a very thin hand... have figured... i sound like trump wow! she moves her hand up get away from him. it was almost like he was attempting to dislocate her shoulder. there is a point in life when you have to let go. thank you very much indeed. you two carry on

with that, 0k! we'll see how long that lasts. let's talk about buying a new house. if you buy a new house you might assume that it is freehold, meaning you own the building and the land it is on outright. but, for new homes in many modern developments, that is not the case. many new builds are leasehold, which means that you only own the property for a fixed period of time. this can cause expensive and unexpected problems. legally, and structurally, as time goes on. paul lewis from radio 4's money box programme has been investigating. he has been investigating all of this. good morning, paul. iwas or is under the impression that if you bought a flat that is when the leasehold came into account, but this is now happening with new—build homes? in some parts of england, particularly the north—west and north—east, it is happening more, it seems, with new—build homes, or at least it was. the problem is that it

is not just least it was. the problem is that it is notjust the length of time you have the least four, which is normally very long, 999 years, the problem is that you don't own the land under the building. normally when you buy a house you think you by your little bit of planet earth, really. you owned the land under it and you can do what you like with it within the planning tools. but if you only own the leasehold, then the freeholder, which originally is the developer, can decide, they set ground rent for example, charge you to sit on the land, and also they can make charges for extensions and alterations as well. so that can cause problems. what has been happening recently is the freeholders, the house—builders, have been selling on these freeholds basically to investment firms, put up basically to investment firms, put up the price that they charge. we had one example where a lady wanted to buy the freehold of her property. she was told after two years she could, it would cost of £11000, something like that. but when she went to do so she found it had been bought by an investor and she was

told it would cost her £13,500. those are the kind of problems people are facing. are these negotiable, these increasing prices? not really, no. the freeholder can set them. there was a famous case with taylor wimpey where it had a clause in its leases whereby the ground rent bubbled every ten years. in fact, the first dublin was after eight years and then after ten yea rs. eight years and then after ten years. and that was causing problems to people because suddenly their ground rent was £175 per year, but thenit ground rent was £175 per year, but then it went up to £350. over the next a0 years, if they stayed there that long, it could well have been in the thousands. they found that unfair. taylor wimpey has set aside that money to try and resolve that problem, but so far not very much seems to have happened. that's taylor wimpey, what about house—builders in general, however justifying this? taylor wimpey say

there in the middle of negotiations which are very complex and they wouldn't talk to us about how those are going, understandably. 0ther house—builders have said that it is in some cases in the leasehold is‘ interest, because they can control the quality of the estate and make sure that things look right. but some people have been charged thousands of pounds if they want to build an extension, just for permission. it's that kind of thing when you think you own the house, but you don't. the house—builders generally defend it. i think it is a practice that is beginning now to die away, although it did grow for a while. a lot of this freeholds are already in the hands of investors, investment companies, and they can really set the tone. after two years you have the right to buy it, but that can be an expensive business. paul, thanks for a taster on that. you have been doing an investigation on this and you are looking at what the government plans to do about it. more on money box today, at midday on radio a. mike's in wimbledon for us,

looking head to all the action on ladies‘ final day. almost 8:30am, taking in the calm and tranquillity on centre court. you can hear the soft purr of rick's lawn mower. imagine the sound, the excitement this afternoon. this weekend we could see history made. notjust this weekend we could see history made. not just this afternoon, weekend we could see history made. notjust this afternoon, as venus williams, at the age of 37, tries to become the oldest winner of the women's title in the open era since indeed 1908 when she takes on garbine muguruza. but tomorrow, roger federer, who also won the title wakely venus did back in 2007, he will be aiming for title monbeg dudein he will be aiming for title monbeg dude in the men's singles here —— he will be aiming for title number eight. why we guaranteed a british winner in the mixed doubles? we are very excited to see you soon on centre court. hello, this is breakfast

with naga munchetty and jon kay. coming up before 9am, jay will have a the weekend weather forecast for you. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. laws on buying and carrying acid are to be reviewed by the government following attacks which took place in london on thursday night. five people had corrosive liquid thrown at them, including one man who is said to have suffered life—changing injuries. two teenage boys, aged 15 and 16, remain in custody on suspicion of robbery and grievous bodily harm with intent. there are calls for a more consistent response to major incidents from all fire brigades in the uk following the grenfell tower disaster. under its policy at the time,

the london brigade didn't send an aerial ladder immediately to the blaze. now, a bbc news investigation found that crew levels and equipment vary significantly across the country — leading to what the fire brigade union has described as a postcode lottery. the former prime minister tony blair has that claimed senior figures in the eu have told him they are prepared to be flexible on freedom of movement, in order to accommodate britain after brexit. mr blair made the claim in an article written for his own charitable institute. just last week the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, said the freedom of movement of people, goods, services and capital were indivisible. 7,000 police officers, soldiers, officials and academics have been sacked in turkey, where a national holiday is being held to mark the first anniversary of a failed attempt to remove president erdogan. the authorities have accused them of being members of terrorist organisations or of groups working against the national interest. 150,000 people have now

been arrested or sacked since the thwarted coup. there are plans to extend a scheme which allows members of the public to call for harsher sentences in england and wales. the unduly lenient sentence scheme already covers serious terror offences and crimes such as murder and rape. the ministry ofjustice now wants it to apply to people who have been convicted of offences such as encouraging terrorism. wages are increasing at their slowest rate for five years, which is hitting young families in particular — according to new research. the resolution foundation — which analyses living standards — says average income growth halved to 0.7% in the 12 months before last month's general election. a shortlist of five contenders has been announced in the race to be uk city of culture 2021, taking over from hull. have you practised your drum roll

yet? maybe we'll save that for later in the year. coventry, paisley, sunderland, swansea and stoke—on—trent are all still in the running to host the year—long celebration of art and performance, which happens every four years. the winner will be announced in december. some of the world's largest carnivores are being squeezed out of their natural habitat due to farming and human settlements. in the first global study of its kind — scientists have found six species — including tigers and lions — have lost at least 90% of the areas they've historically occupied. researchers say reintroduction into these landscapes would mean humans being more willing to share habitats with animals like the wolf. would you want to share your habitat with a wolf? i'm not sure. they're beautiful but they also kill people. let's hear from mike at wimbledon. it's a huge weekend of sport, not

least there. mike is in amongst, not the crowd yet, but centre court. you can almost hear the atmosphere tangling —— feel the atmosphere tangling. wimbledon will be full of history breakers this weekend, i asked the groundsman what does he listen to on his headphones? he says it's on the shuffle, anything but heavy metal. it's a huge day, let's put it into context. 1908 was the time when the last female over a certain age one and wimbledon. wimbledon will be full of history breakers this weekend, starting today if venus williams can win her sixth singles titles here and become the oldest grand slam winner at 37. garbine muguruza stands in her way on centre court later today. and in the men's final tomorrow, roger federer is back there, also looking to make history.

he beat tomas berdych in straight sets to book his 11th wimbledon final — as he looks for a record 19th grand slam title. she played her sister serena and lost a couple of years ago. and in the men's final tomorrow, roger federer is back there, also looking to make history. he beat tomas berdych in straight sets to book his 11th wimbledon final — as he looks for a record 19th grand slam title. i feel privileged to be in another final. i know how much it means to so many players to be able to go out on centre court at wimbledon at any time in their career and i have had the pleasure to do it so many times. this time in another final, it is so good. i can not believe it is true again. looking to spoil federer‘s party on centre court tomorrow is marin cilic. the seventh seed came through a tough four set semifinal with sam querrey. cilic is into his second majorfinal

after winning the 201a us open. jamie murray and martina hingis are through to the mixed doubles final after beating marcelo demoliner and maria jose martinez—sanchez in straights sets on centre court... and waiting for them are heather watson and henri kontinen. we are guaranteed a british winner in the mixed doubles final. they beat bruno soares and elena vesnina two sets to one. gordon reid and alfie hewett are back in the hunt for another wimbledon title after britain's star wheelchair tennis double act reached the final. after early defeats in the singles for the british pair, they rebounded as a team with victory over argentinian gustavo fernandez and japan's shingo kunieda. away from the tennis, hannah cockcroft set a new world record at the world para—athletics championships in london last night. cockroft won the 100 metre t3a gold in 17.18 seconds. and it was a british one—two as as sixteen—year—old kare adenegan came in second, winning silver.

immense. amazing. going round the warm—up laps, i was getting a little emotional. the noise is so loud, we have not had that since london 2012. to be able to go in and put in such a good performance, it means so much and hopefully that's a sign of a good championships to come. and gemma prescott won gb's third medal of the tournament with bronze in the f32 club final for seated athletes with cerebral palsy. prescott‘s best throw was 19.97 metres. south africa are 309—6 after day one of the second test at trent bridge. hashim amla top scored for the tourists with 78, but england picked up four wickets, including his, in the last session of the day the last time that we played here and bowled here, we bowled pretty well.

so i think was important that whatever we did, we stuck to our guns and we did that. they applied themselves well, credit to them. 170 odd for two, as i say, they were excellent. there's eight stages to go at the tour de france and chris froome will start this morning in white, rather than yellow, for a second day — he's still six seconds behind fabio aru. but he says he's enjoying racing to try and take the yellow jersey back. it was actually quite a great feeling to have to go out there and try to race for a win today, as opposed to racing defensively and having the pressure of defending the jersey. it was nice to have the shoe on the other foot. it's been a difficult few weeks for rory mcilroy, he's been struggling for form and he's now missed the cut at the scottish 0pen too. it means he misses the weekend's play, for the third time in the last four tournaments. england's callum shinkwin is in a three—way tie

for the lead on nine under par, with ian poulter a shot back. celtic have beaten northern irish side linfield 2—0 in a champions league qualifier in belfast. scott sinclair and tom rogic scoring the goals for brendan rodgers' side. floyd mayweather and conor mcgregor were in london last night, promoting their much anticipated boxing match at the end of august. like the three events before it, it was a highly charged affair but challenger conor mcgregor say‘s he can't wait to prove doubters wrong. he could have walked off into the sunset a9—0, but this is the first time ina sunset a9—0, but this is the first time in a boxing ring and i love boxing! laughter all eyes will be on centre court later as venus williams takes on garbine muguruza in the ladies‘

final. someone who knows a thing or two about finals day nerves is two—time grand slam champion, tracy austin who joins me now. looking amazing in orange! if i go red, it's because i had posters of you on my wall. let's look at today. you have to do pinch yourself, venus williams won her first proper title in 2000, they thought that was it in 2007, now with talking about it again. how does it go against all odds? this is the 20th wimbledon that venus williams has played, and eve ryo ne that venus williams has played, and everyone realised, one serena was out of the draw on maternity leave, that this was a wide open women's draw this year, and at the thomas pickering at the top of that can occur at the top of the list was venus williams with powerful groundstrokes, big serves, she's been dealing with a lot over the last few years. first her health

and then the car accident a month ago that was very emotional, then of course the last five years, seeing her younger sister get grand slam after grand slam. this is a huge opportunity and that can't be overlooked. 37, that isjust incredible. i can't get over that. given the illness as well, would leave the tired? and the ability to? possibly in a major, you you have the other day off, she has that time to recover and recoup, and it's an incredible story. her opponent garbine muguruza is 23, younger than venus, and she is an incredible talent with them mick promise. she attacks the ball, but has struggled since she won the french open. she has not been to a final since then.

how much will it help her that she has been in a final here? against a williams, how will that help? absolutely, coming out on centre court, it's the most treasured court, the most historic court and oui’ court, the most historic court and our game. it court, the most historic court and ourgame. it can court, the most historic court and our game. it can be overwhelming when you walk out on court, and to have that experience a couple of yea rs have that experience a couple of years ago even though she lost, is important to garbine muguruza. winning a major is also helpful. she shouldn't be intimidated, she also has a coach in the support camp, her coach won the title in 199a. she knows how to win on the surface and at wimbledon. she seems to have calmed garbine muguruza down. will we party like 2007? i think so, but very close. 51—a9 for venus. and of course it's the ladies‘ final here at wimbledon — there's coverage across the bbc starting at 11.00 on bbc two, from 2pm on bbc radio five live

and on the bbc sport website. tracy austin, thanks forjoining us. that is it for now, see you later. school swimming lessons should teach children about the dangers of cold water shock after a sharp rise in the number of young people drowning, council leaders have urged. 300 people died in accidental drownings in the uk last year and 60 % of those died as a result of cold water shock. joining us now is simon griffiths, founder of outdoor swimmer magazine, and water safety campaigner beckie ramsy who's son died in 2011 while swimming in a disused quarry. good morning, thanks forjoining us. becky, if we could start with you. you go into schools and tell the stories about your son, explain what happened and the potential significance of cold

__ my —— my son what 13, —— my son what13, nearly 1a, decided to go thumbing with friends ona decided to go thumbing with friends on a sunny day in a quarry, went for what he thought was an innocent swim. he was in for 20 minutes before he got into some kind of difficulty, he shouted for help three times. he was only underwater for three minutes in total. he was only that much underwater, he stood up only that much underwater, he stood up when the guy pulled him out, gave him cpr immediately at the scene. i shouldn't be sitting here telling you my son died, i should say he had a near miss. but unfortunately, he died. he was a fit and healthy young man. he was eight superfit athlete of the year, two years in a row, competing out of the area, sporting offence against district level opponents. he was at the top of his game. he was a free running, swimming in the lake districtjust before he died. he had been swimming

since the age of eight months old, he was really fit and healthy. no underlying health issues. hearing what she is talking about and hit what dyla n dylan —— what happened to dylan, most people are aware of that shop inta ke most people are aware of that shop intake of breath in a drumming pool, and that is a surprise. —— in a swimming pool. people need to be aware of the longer term? cold water shockis aware of the longer term? cold water shock is a real thing. i think the current campaign around this that has been picked up by lga is talking about cold water shock, the immediate risk when you hit cold water, the sharp intake of breath and increasing heart rate. if you not expecting it, it can be very scary, causing you to panic, and

thatis scary, causing you to panic, and that is when it happened. and you ta ke that is when it happened. and you take the water in? if you're swimming for longer periods, there are other things to take into account, as dylan was. you are in the water for a longer time. the blood flowing to your muscles decreases because in cold water, your body tries to preserve the heat in yourcore. so your body tries to preserve the heat in your core. so blood concentrate in your core. so blood concentrate in your core. so blood concentrate in yourcore and in your core. so blood concentrate in your core and less muscle is going to your arms and your legs. if you are in cold water for a long time, you lose the ability to swim as well. that could be another factor and if you're in the water for longer you can get hypothermia. there is a series of risks that you have to deal with and be aware of when you are swimming in cold water. the campaign that the r and l i are pushing, is around the immediate

effect of cold water shock when you hit the water, and if you are aware of that, and to know what's happening, you can reduce the risks. if you know what is happening and it's normal, you can take the right action and the normal action. lots of people planning to go to the beach or swimming of people planning to go to the beach orswimming in of people planning to go to the beach or swimming in a river in the next few weeks, other things he would tell people when you go into to minimise the chances of this happening? i always say you should go to happening? i always say you should gotoa happening? i always say you should go to a lifeguard or beach for a start. if they want to participate, go into organised events. go to somewhere that has lifeguards, where your safety is paramount. don'tjust jump your safety is paramount. don'tjust jump into your nearest quarry already far or whatever. the chances are, even if you've been there before and been fine, you could this time, not the, and it could cost you

your life. how do you teach people? it's not that children that needs to be taught? the for anyone. who should teach children and adults to do this? in a safe environment where health is needed ? do this? in a safe environment where health is needed? —— help is needed? everybody‘s got to learn. i think there is one thing talking about it and intellectually understanding it isa and intellectually understanding it is a different thing. if you can get the chance to experience it in a safe way, you will reduce your risk because you know what's happening. the other thing of cold water shock, wanted experienced it a couple of times, the effect lessens. after another time, you don't experience it in the same way. so if anyone tries it, do it in a safeway? that's the advice shared by us. if you do it, do it in a safe environment. somewhere organise, and your safety

is paramount. that is the most important thing for someone coming. dyla n important thing for someone coming. dylan has not heard of cold water shock? it did take the tragedy for cold water shock to be even be mentioned for me. it is sadly the case for so many families, so many pa rents case for so many families, so many parents out there, cold water shock, the first time they hear about it is when they lose someone. it is tragic. the dangers in and around open waters should be as well—known as the green cross code, in my opinion. i know you mentioned your daughter, her crop confidence after the tragedy, she was initially scared to go in the water but is now more confident? yes, the primary school has worked wonders with her. this time years ago she could not go near ferman paul now she wants to go in all the time. —— a swimming pool. thank you so much for spreading your

message. this weekend, it's rather changeable weather. here's jay with a look at this morning's weather. we have a lot of cloud in the sky today bringing rain with it. sunday will be the wetter of the days. it is warm and maggie out there, the wedge of warm coming in from the atlantic. it comes in with a breeze, quite a lot of cloud and rain as well. it will be wettest through the day on the western side of scotland. the rain in northern england down to the midlands, not too much getting into the southernmost counties. you see it moving its way eastwards, rain across central and eastern areas drying in the afternoon. it is wet in scotland's west through the day. the north—east sees some rain developing. rain on and off in

northern ireland. spreading its way south to the later part of the afternoon and evening. it clears away and leaves low cloud and the north of england. maybe a little light rain and drizzle to go with that. a lot of cloud and the central and eastern areas. temperatures around 20 or 23 degrees, maybe some spots of rain towards wimbledon in early afternoon but that should clear away. there will be a warm and humid afternoon here. and walking again through tomorrow. the rain eventually place in scotland, moving its way south, hickling from northern ireland to settling into northern england through the evening. it is a warm night, 16 or 17 degrees, low cloud around particularly in the west. turning pressure with clearer skies in northern areas. the fresh air will push its way southwards through tomorrow. behind our increasingly wea k tomorrow. behind our increasingly weak band of cloud. and patchy rain.

a weak band of rain, some in the morning, drifting south and the rain becomes light and patchy. in the south, it stays warm and humid. behind it, fresh air is coming in with brighter skies. although a few showers in northern scotland. temperatures around 19 in aberdeen, and belfast, but warm and humid, 25 in the south—eastern corner. identifying inherited heart conditions can save lives — but many of us don't know that we're carrying the gene that causes a disease known as hcm. carrying the gene that causes sir david frost had the condition — and while it didn't cause his death he did pass it on to one of his sons miles who died at the age ofjust 31. now, his family is trying to help other people to find out if they could be affected. 0ur correspondent chris buckler reports. there's miles. miles, come here. in every child, you can find something of their parents,

and often inherited alongside looks and characteristics are things that can't be seen. miles frost shared with his father david a gene responsible for a heart condition that led to his sudden death. for your 31—year—old brother to die, suddenly and unexpectedly, nothing can prepare you for it. and i'll never get over the pain of learning that for the first time. miles loved sport, and he seemed extremely healthy, but he died after going out for a run. his brothers have now set up a fund which, along with the british heart foundation, is paying for people to be tested for an inherited heart condition. miles would have had to adapt his life and stop playing sport, but at least he would be with us. now, that didn't happen, and we can look back and we can complain about that, or we can look forward and make sure it doesn't happen again for the people. three, two, one — go! sports clubs are starting

to get to grips with how to deal with the problem. it is impossible to simply spot who might have an inherited condition on the pitch, but the gaelic athletic association says being aware of the disability could save someone's life. says being aware of the possibility could save someone's life. we've had a couple of sudden deaths within our own club, and it has been shocking, and we will go back to looking at it and giving advice to people. that doesn't necessarily mean not taking part in sport. it is just changing what they do on the field. most of the risk is thought to be associated with high—intensity sprinting—based activities. so we would normally steer people away from those activities. encouraging them just to stay active still just do things within parameters. this is one of six centres across the country to be given funding. they will employ staff not just

for families who have this gene, which is known as hcm, but also to offer some support to them. moira has been identified with the condition, and she has passed it onto her 1a—year—old son. that means real adjustments for a football and rugby—mad teenager. rugby is a no—no, but he can play in nets, provided that there is that lower level of physical exertion. golf he can't continue with, which he also loves. but it will be a huge impact on him. the bottom—line is it is better that he knows, and that he can make those adjustments in his life, and to live with the condition that he has. it is thought tens of thousands of people are carrying the gene in the uk, and targeted screening is at the heart of attempts to ensure they live long and active lives. let's get some more details on this now from dr mike knapton from the british heart foundation. good morning. let's start with the

explainer, getting the science bit out of the way. hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, what is it? it's a disease of the heart. the heart muscle second so it's hypertrophic. the implications are that the heart doesn't pump as well. so low energy levels, breathless palpitations, chest pain, and causing fluid retention as well. tragically in a proportion of cases, the first time do know you've got it is a sudden cardiac arrest. that is in the case of miles. —— case it isa it is a risk even without testing? some people will have no symptoms until they suddenly die. steps forward we have made now is thanks to this case and all the supporters he raise money for us, is that we

have done research, identifying mutations of genes that cause this, and we can identify those abnormal genes in you or me or anyone else, and screening family, and identifying whether they are affected early so you can offer them treatment for a catastrophic event. you are talking about testing within afamily you are talking about testing within a family where something has happened already rather than screening the entire nation? correct. as a diagnosing someone hopefully not, who died, or who was living with the condition. because it will pass through 50% of the relatives, so a higher rate, but if you find another and you can test another relative, which is called cascade screening. there are about 120,000 people living with this.

u nfortu nately i 120,000 people living with this. unfortunately i would imagine, many people have relatives who suffered with heart condition. how easy will it be, when people are listening today, we reached 6.5 million viewers a day, who think, i need to be tested, because this happened in my be tested, because this happened in ily? be tested, because this happened in my family? how do you distinguish between that and in her —— and an inherited condition? you're quite right, many won't have this condition. they will want to discuss it with their doctor, with symptoms such as chest pains. if it's thought that they might be carrying, having a gene known sequence. if you have who has suddenly died, prematurely, you should ask if it is a hereditary

condition. is this something that can be picked up at the baby stage or does it become thicker as it grows up or does it become thicker as it grows up it's usually diagnosed as a child or a young adult. we use the same technology to diagnose the case in adults. using an ultrasound case of the heart. what do you do when you find out you have this? first, guinea to have the diagnosis explained to you. they can be a bit ofa explained to you. they can be a bit of a boy. —— you need to have diagnosis explained to you. that can bea diagnosis explained to you. that can be a bit ofa diagnosis explained to you. that can be a bit of a blow. some might need more invasive treatments like pacemakers. thanks forjoining us. stay with us, the headlines are coming up. hello, this is breakfast,

with naga munchetty and jon kay. tony blair has told the bbc that continuing on the current path to brexit would be the "biggest delusion". the former prime minister says european leaders have told him they would be prepared to make concessions to keep the uk in the single market. he says a debate on the eu is needed.
