for wales and the south—west it will be wet and very windy, but i will have more details in 15 minutes. thank you. good morning. first, our main story, air traffic controllers are warning that uk skies are running out of room for record numbers of planes. it comes on what is expected to be the busiest ever day for controllers, with nearly 9,000 flights expected. colletta smith reports. the skies above us could be busier today than they have ever been, as people set off on their summer holidays. air traffic controllers so they are expecting to handle a record 8,800 flights today and they are warning will be their busiest summer yet. nats is half owned by government and controlled air traffic across the uk, they are expecting more than 770,000 flights to cross our skies this summer. that's 40,000 more than last year. air traffic bosses say they can safely manage the busier skies

but warn passengers of a future risk of regular delays if major changes are not made to how uk airspace is managed. they want traditional flight paths changed with more satellite navigation used instead of ground—based radio beacons to allow aircraft to climb, cruise, and descend more efficiently. the department of transport consulted on changing the way our skies are managed earlier in the year but they are yet to make an announcement. and it is notjust our skies that will be busier today, the rac predicting this weekend our roads will see the busiest weekend of the summer. will see the busiest weekend of the summer. and what we must not forget his people are excited about getting away for their holidays, as they should be. tell us what is happening where you are, it is a treat to be where you are, it is a treat to be where you are, it is a treat to be where you are. it is, yes, ethnic peak today. most people don't see it

except for the movies. it is very different from the movies. it is calm collected today. it is ahead of the busiest day of the year, potentially the busiest these guys have ever dealt with, as more planes ta ke to have ever dealt with, as more planes take to the skies. as you can see me, they are hard at work, and these quys me, they are hard at work, and these guys here at swanwick control the airspace south of england. in this pa rt airspace south of england. in this part of the building, they are looking after the high up planes. it is really busy because over the other side of the building, which we will see later on the programme, they also manage the landing. as you say, lots of people excited about going on holiday. this is the practical end of things. this is the screen. i can talk it through. this isa screen. i can talk it through. this is a live screen which shows all other planes currently in the southern area of the uk airspace. they are moving around at the moment. we have a lot of planes

getting ready to land at heathrow. because it has just turned 6am that is when heathrow runways open and lots of those planes will be landing and taking off, taking everyone away on their holiday. i like that screen. thanks very much. we will speak year later. two people have been killed and dozens of others injured after an earthquake struck turkish and greek tourist resorts on the aegean sea. the deaths were on the greek island of kos, where the ceiling of a building collapsed. the bbc‘s turkey correspondent mark lowen can bring us the latest from istanbul. good morning. could you give us the assessment. this happened in the early hours of this morning uk time. just give us an assessment of what we know. i am speaking to you from the greek island of lesbos, not far from the epicentre of the quake between kos and bodrum. it was quite large, six points seven, and it was fairly shallow. —— 6.7. it wasjust

over six miles deep in the aegean sea. it caused at least two dead on the greek island of kos. one of those we understand is an elderly turkish citizen. one of swedish origin and dozens injured. five of them seriously injured. some have been airlifted to the larger island of rhodes. there was structural damage in kos, the ceiling of a bar collapsed, and some other buildings collapsed, and some other buildings collapsed as well. and there were some large waves felt on oath bodrum and kos. and both greece and turkey are active, they are both on significant fault line. there was a major earthquake in turkey six years ago that killed 700 people in the east of the country. in 1999 earthquakes in the country killed 20,000 people. and one in greece killed 140 people. for the moment, thank you very much. former american football star oj simpson is to be released from prison this autumn

after serving nine years of a 33 year sentence for armed robbery. in 1995, simpson was acquitted of the murder of his ex—wife and herfriend, turning him into one of the most divisive figures in the country. his parole hearing was broadcast on us television. our los angeles correspondent james cook reports. it was the trial of the century, an american superstar accused of stabbing to death his ex—wife and herfriend. oj stabbing to death his ex—wife and her friend. oj simpson stabbing to death his ex—wife and herfriend. oj simpson had been arrested after a low speed car chase across los angeles, broadcast live toa across los angeles, broadcast live to a nation in shock. but that's not why he is in prison. oj simpson not guilty of the crime of murder. he was arrested in la for raiding a hotel room in 2007 to reclaim sporting memorabilia he said was his. nine years later he appeared before the parole board stating his case for freedom. i have done my time. i have done it as respectfully as anyone can. if you talk to the

wardens, they will tell you i gave them my word, i believe in thejury system. i have honoured their verdict. and the parole board except that argument. so, based on all of that, mr simson, that argument. so, based on all of that, mrsimson, i that argument. so, based on all of that, mr simson, ivote that argument. so, based on all of that, mr simson, i vote to grant pa role that, mr simson, i vote to grant parole when eligible. more than 20 yea rs parole when eligible. more than 20 years after his sensational acquittal it is clear that oj simpson still commands an audience. millions of americans tuned into his pa role millions of americans tuned into his parole hearing. but support may be fading. one recent poll suggests that only 7% of americans now think that only 7% of americans now think that the fallen star is not a killer. lots of people gonna be talking about that today. later, we'll be speaking to oj simpson's former defence lawyer. that's at 6:50am. the environment secretary, michael gove, will today warn that after brexit farming subsidies must be earned rather than simply handed out to already wealthy landowners. let's get some more details from our political correspondent chris mason, who is in

westminster for us. good morning. there was lots of talk about whether or not farmers should be getting the eu farming subsidies that they get, and the terms in which they receive them, and that is what is addressed now? yes, it is a very huge issue. we hear a lot in the context of brexit, rows about the context of brexit, rows about the economy and immigration, and whether there will be a transitional arrangement after we leave the eu. the impact on agriculture and the environment is potentially absolutely massive. the figures are huge. around £3 billion is currently received every year in eu subsidies to farmers, around half of their income. this is the first big speech by the environment secretary, michael gove. he says he doesn't wa nt to michael gove. he says he doesn't want to see a situation where farmers get money pretty much in proportion to how much land they have. he says that there has to be a correlation with the environmental work that they do as well. he will

also say he wants to see what he sees as a green brexit and that he is an environmentalist. he is argument is it makes sense because not just it is argument is it makes sense because notjust it is important and we might care about looking at it and enjoying it in the summer holidays, but also for future generations, proof that brexit extends beyond the stuff that often makes headlines. thank you very much. speak to you later. the number of people in yemen with cholera is now the largest ever recorded in any country in a single year. the outbreak started three months ago and oxfam says there is already 360,000 suspected cases. cholera causes severe nausea and dehydration. the epidemic follows two years of brutal civil war in yemen the number of pupils being excluded from schools in england is at the highest level for nearly a decade. in the last year there were nearly 350,000 permanent or fixed term exclusions from state schools. more than 11,000 of those were for sexual misconduct, or drugs and alcohol abuse.

road tolls on the severn bridges will be scrapped by the end of next year, putting an end to what some described as a tax on entering wales. ministers say the decision will deliver a significant boost to the local economy, and strengthen links between england and wales. laura jones is standing on the english side of the crossing for us this morning. very good morning to you, laura. just tell us a little more about the story. yes, welcome to a windswept severn beach this morning. they've been charging people to cross here since 1966 when the first severn crossing was opened. back then it cost about 12p to cross this, here is the second severn crossing, open since 1996. now, 25 millionjourneys are made across both bridges each year. it are made across both bridges each yea r. it costs are made across both bridges each year. it costs considerably more now thanit year. it costs considerably more now than it did back then, around £7 for

cars, £20 for lorries. they have been talking about scrapping these tolls for quite sometime now. but of course yesterday we got the formal announcement that they were to go at the end of 2018. everyone here broadly speaking is happy about it. something they are not very happy about is the announcement about the electrification of the train line between cardiff and swansea, which is now going to be scrapped as all. we will bring you more later. thank you very much, laura. landing on the moon might have been one small step for man, but for a bag used to collect the first samples of dust and rock it was a giant leap in value. it's sold for $1.8 million. you can see it there. the seller had bought the bag on a government auction website three years ago for less than $1,000. $1,000! it remained for years unidentified in a box at thejohnson space centre in houston and was once nearly

thrown away as rubbish. looks like a hoover bag. doesn't it just. just a little further back. one quesne $8 —— 1.8 million dollars. appearances can be deceptive. yes. like the picture behind you, because it looks calm between rory mcilroy and his caddie, but it wasn't, was it? mchattie was the man of the moment. they are normally the human punch bags. yesterday the tables were turned. fitzgerald turned to rory mcilroy, he was going terribly, and he said you are rory mcilroy, sunshine, get a grip. witnessed by people nearby? well, no, there were people around, and it wasn't picked up on the cameras, but lawrie taught about it later, it was quite dramatic. the americans lead the way going into the second day of the open championship

at royal birkdale, but wind and rain is expected to cause problems for players today. jordan spieth‘s round of five under par means he's in front alongside brooks koepka, who's this year's us open winner, and matt kuchar. rory mcilroy is six off the pace at the end of the day. hannah cockroft and georgina hermitage both win gold as great britain claim seven more medals at the para athletics world championships in london. chris froome has climbed another mountain closer to winning the tour de france after his main rivals couldn't distance him at the top of the col d'izoard. and england's women's world cup final opponents have been decided. they'll play india on sunday after surprising the defending champions australia in derby. at 8:30am we will have the women's half cup trophy here, with holly colvin, a former star! i've seen it on television, not in person.

they are always a bit deceptive. another example! the weather is said to be calm. i'm not sure that's the case today, but carol will make us feel better, because you're at buckingham palace this morning! good morning. it is lovely here at the rose garden of buckingham palace. the palace is in that direction. the roses are chosen for their fragrance and each direction. the roses are chosen for theirfragrance and each bed has the same theirfragrance and each bed has the sa m e flower theirfragrance and each bed has the same flower in it, the same breed, and we are looking at the same colour. you won't find the same colour. you won't find the same colour adjacent to each other in this garden. the reason we are here is because tomorrow the new exhibition opens, all about gifts given to the queen during her rain and there is also a broom dedicated to diana, princess of wales —— room. outside it's a chilly start where we

have clear skies and today it will be wet and windy in the west. especially the south—west and wales. that's because we've got low pressure coming in, already bringing showers. it will turn heavier with rain through the day and it will be accompanied by gusty winds. especially on the coast of west wales and south—west england, but even inland as well. cloud will build ahead of it but we also have lots of dry weather in east and north. i the afternoon in scotland we will have some of that range living in northern ireland, across south—west scotland and although cloud will build there will be sunshine in the north and east. you could catch the odd shower in north—west england, but north—east england scene dry conditions. down the east coast we hang on to sunshine at times in east anglia and the london area and into the south—east. through the midlands and towards the south coast there's the risk a shower. towards south—west

england and wales we have the heavy rain and gusty winds. by 4pm it is starting to move away from the extreme south—west and west of wales, although there will be showers. the northern ireland the rain would have pushed away and then it will dry rain would have pushed away and then it willdry up rain would have pushed away and then it will dry up nicely and we have sunshine and showers into the afternoon. british evening and overnight on that rain it slowly moves eastwards. ahead of it in the north it will be dry and behind it it will be dry. however, further showers in the middle of the night coming our way through the south—west and some of those could be heavy and fun to read, with hail, but not like those we saw earlier this week. tomorrow we start with weather fronts in east, this week. tomorrow we start with weatherfronts in east, moving this week. tomorrow we start with weather fronts in east, moving to the north sea, but lingering in scotland. for the rest of us it's a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers and again a couple of those showers could be heavy and slow moving, so you will see quite a lot of rain in a small amount of time, but some of them could miss

them all together. in the sunday we see a bit of rain across eastern parts of scotland, fringing towards north—east england. that will fragment through the day and again on sunday it is another day of sunshine and showers for top temperatures in the next few days area temperatures in the next few days are a roundabout where they should be at this stage injuly, but nowhere near where they were this time last week. thanks very much, carroll. it looks glorious! a look through the papers now. we will have more on this, this morning, the news that there was this parole hearing for oj simpson yesterday. it was compelling watching him give his evidence. they say he will be freed, as his parole has been successful, in october. we will be hearing more about that later. the main story is about post

brexit and how it works in practice, this is the view with foreign criminals convicted here. a picture of oj simpson also on the front of the times. we will speak to his former defence lawyer later. againa his former defence lawyer later. again a story on brexit as well, about orders remaining open up to two years after brexit —— borders. and a story about a woman who has become britain's top judge for the first time. she is 72 and she will be the next president of the supreme court, in an announcement expected today. the guardian paying close attention to that press conference yesterday between david davis and his french counterpart, trying to work out what has and what hasn't been achieved in terms of those negotiations. what have we got? snoring is linked to alzheimer's. there are lots of other stories around this, that sleeping problems put you at higher

risk. sleep is something we talk a lot about. and something we don't get enough of! snoring? if i've been out to a party or something... but apparently you just have to turn on the hillside. don't lie on your back. —— your side. this shows how close you can get to the action at the golf, especially on links courses. rory mcilroy, the whole crowd almost playing the shop with them. look up close they can get, as he made his recovery. think of the pressure! how disciplined, given the proximity, is everyonejust... there's never a joker in the pack? sometimes, but then you will be ejected. that's a rule. you don't

put the players off, especially the home players, the ones you want to support. the other story are wanted to bring you is over the years this has fascinated me. human beings against beasts. we had jesse owens beating the hall is, we had the man versus horse race, the man who raced and got beaten by a cheetah and the latest is michael phelps against a shark. he has done it and we will find out what happened on monday. but the shark was obviously in a cage but there's this comparison between their diets. the shark has to eat seals and thankfully michael phelps sticks to porridge and fruit. so they encouraged the shark to move as quickly as it could? yes. i imagine it would be hard to get a shark to do what you want it to do. put something at the end? like the pig races, where you put some food at the end. but michael phelps had a flicker.

a motor? —— flipper. their normal speed is six mph, for both. thanks, see you later. last night she claimed her third gold at the world para athletics championships, making hannah cockroft one of the most successful pa ra—athletes of all time. she has never lost a race in major competition, so you can see why she has been nicknamed hurrican hannah. —— hurricane. i know you will be speaking to many people very inspired by her this morning? absolutely. what a night it was for her last night, as she won her third gold of the championships. notjust that, it is her 10th world title. this is an early—morning training session. some of the guys have come out, having been inspired by watching hannah last night. it is

her club. these people regard her as a friend as well as an inspiration. but have a chat to matt. you were watching the race last night. were you nervous for her? she wins everything. did you expect her to? idea little bit, but i was nervous because i found out she was a little bit unwell in the previous hours —— idida bit unwell in the previous hours —— i did a little bit. how big an inspiration is she in this sport? huge. she isjust huge in the sport. she has so many people into the sport. people come up to us and say, i thought i would come and try it out because i've watched hannah do it. it's really good because itjust heightens how good it really is for everybody else. thank you very much. let's have a chat to michelle.

you've only been doing this for about 12 months? that's right. why did you get into it? to be honest, i've been watching hannah and she is a total inspiration to me. so she is the reason? absolutely. i was a basketball player before and then started doing a degree. when i finished that i had the time to dedicate it to sport and wanted to get into wheelchair racing and i absolutely loved it, was cooked straightaway. you were saying to me before that it has kind of transform your life? absolutely. when you first become disabled, i was able bodied until the age of 23, and when you first become disabled it is difficult. i found you first become disabled it is difficult. ifound racing you first become disabled it is difficult. i found racing and playing sport helps me with confidence and i've become a completely different person as a result of that. truly amazing. amazing, thank you, michelle. let me bring you over to nick, who i thought i was going to have to flag

down while racing along this track, but thanks for stopping! these chairs are incredible. you make it look so easy. i'm guessing it's not. talk to me about how you control it. when you are going down the street, this is set to straight. when you come flying around it you keep this bit to go around the bend. that's quite a lot of stuff to keep out of control, trying not to fall off. you get used to it. a lot of practice. yeah, but you're pretty good at it. i'm doing all right! thanks. the hope is that hannah will be an inspiration to even more people and get even more people into this sport. thanks very much. of course we will be talking to hannah cockroft little later on. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm sonja jessup. the capital's mayor is calling on the government and train

ididn't at the moment, itjust feels like... i didn't come in confident that i was going to do it. i didn't really think about what it might mean at the end. i went for it and hope for the end. i went for it and hope for the best. i think i need to go away and think about what i need to do. i am already thinking, this is what i need to work on to get there. i think when you know you are not at your best and there are things that your best and there are things that you can do better. georgina hermitage broke the world record as she defended her t37 400 metre title. britain picked up a silver and three other bronze medals to take their tally in london to 29. chris froome is three stages away from winning his fourth tour de france. he's still favourite although his lead was cut by four seconds on stage 18. the battle for the yellow jersey went all the way to the line. romain bardet finished just ahead of froome to claim four bonus seconds. he's now 23 behind froome in the standings, but saturday's time trial will favour the race leader. britain's lizzie deignan did much better

than she expected on stage one of the two—day la course. she'd planned to ride to support her team leader but deignan ended up finishing second overall behind anne—miek van vleuten, the dutch rider who suffered serious injuries at last year's rio olympics. the race concludes in marseille on saturday. manchester united have beaten manchester city 2—0 in a friendly in the united states. a crowd of 67,000 turned out to see the pair meet in houston. new £75 million signing romelu lukaku got the first, and the second came just two minutes later through england striker marcus rashford. it was the first manchester derby to be played since may's terrorist attack in the city and both teams wore shirts with the distinctive worker bee logo, which will be auctioned off to raise money for the victims. aberdeen are through to the third qualifying round of the europa league. they drew 1—1 after the first leg with siroki brijeg. greg stewart put

them ahead in bosnia. and it was 2—0 when gary mackay steven scored the second. it's the fourth year in a row they've reached this stage in europe. well done to the dons. it's the final round of fixtures in the regular super league season this weekend and warrington ended it with a 22—6 win over widnes vikings. trailing at half time, they scored 18 points without reply after the interval for their third win in a row. last year's runners—up knew going into the match though that they would not be able to qualify for the super eights. england will play india in the women's world cup final on sunday after india knocked out defending champions australia. harmanpreet kaur smashed a huge century as india set australia 282 to win. despite a valiant rearguard, the total proved too much. the final at lord's on sunday is a sellout. and we will have holly colvin, former england star, and the world cup trophy to look at the final here

on the sofa at 8:30am, to find out what she thinks. very good, thank you. nearly 9,000 flights will take off and land across the uk making it air traffic control‘s busiest day of they year. with a record number of planes expected in the air this summer there are concerns that the service is being stretched to its limit. colletta is at air traffic control in swa nwick. swanwick, swa nwick, swa nwick? swanwick, swanwick? yes, swanwick. swanwick, swanwick? yes, swanwick. swa nwick, swa nwick. swanwick, swanwick? yes, swanwick. swanwick, swanwick. good morning, everyone. yes, it is close to southampton on the south coast of england, one of them at locations where they control all of the uk. here they are looking after the skies south of birmingham down, and also controlling all of the landing and takeoff is in one of the world's busiest airspace around london. we have so many airports. these guys behind the i traffic controllers. this is a live workspace. they are

speaking with pilots in the air as we speak. they are watching all of the plane. some of them landing in the plane. some of them landing in the uk, others passing overfrom america, and landing in europe. the man in charge of this on what is expected to be the busiest day of the year is jamie. talk through, you have seen a workload increase over the last couple of years, how do these guys manage the stress and the difficulties of that? they are incredibly well—trained, very professional and we make sure a great deal of planning goes into the busiest time of the year. we start engaging with airports and airline customers months before to understand the schedules and make sure we have the right resources and controllers in place to make sure that people can get away for a well earned break. it is hard when you look at the screens to picture what is happening above us. these guys are almost thinking in 3d, making sure that planes not only don't crash into each other head—on, also they make sure that they are at the

right height. absolutely. there are some key skills that you need, spatial awareness, planning ahead, staying cool under pressure of those three things and we select on that basis. there is a lengthy training programme, it takes three years to traina programme, it takes three years to train a control on their own, and on that basis we have the right people in the right place to handle the massive amount of traffic we do. we will talk through the programme about how potentially airspace in the uk needs to change over the next couple of years to deal with that increased amount of demand we have seen with more people going on holiday. cake is with us this morning. on the ground, passengers are feeling the increase too, not just controllers? at this time of year they have seen the volume of passengers they are in with the crowds and airports, and the pressure we have with security. it is about preparing for the volume. more passengers, airlines, more

routes, more people through security, you have to get more people through passport control. all airlines will give you a time to get to the airport. don't leave it until the last minute. be prepared. get there in advance. give yourself extra time. it is all about being prepared. that is really good advice for anyone heading to the airports today on potentially the busiest of the year as we gear up for the summer holidays. thank you very much. the good thing is, when you on a plane, when you get through the clouds the sky is always blue. that is true. that is nice. unless it is night—time. is true. that is nice. unless it is night-time. carol has the weather for us now on that theme and we are rather privileged this morning, because you are in the gardens of buckingham palace. that's right. it is lovely here. look at the size of the waterloo bath! it was commissioned by napoleon. he assumed he was going to

be victorious in battle, so he decorated it with scenes depicting matt, however he lost the battle, so this was presented to king george iv and finished at a later date. we are in the rose garden, buckingham palace is in that direction. under the clear skies across many northern and eastern areas it is quite a chilly start of the day, but it will warm up nicely. the forecast for todayis warm up nicely. the forecast for today is wet and windy, especially in the west. and especially for southwest england and wales where we have the heaviest rain and the strongest winds. at the moment it is showery but the showers will be replaced by rain and gusty winds, especially along the coast of west wales and south—west england, but even inland you will notice it. away from that the clouds are building. the eastern and northern areas hang on to the sunshine. at the time we

get to 4pm the scotland some of the rain will move out of northern ireland, getting into south—west scotland. the cloud building in the north and east. northwest england has a couple of showers. as we come down the east coast of england into east anglia, essex, kent, around london, it will be dry with temperatures up to about 24. but there is the risk of a shower, especially in the midlands and down the south coast. further west we are back into heavier rain and squally wind is. but by then the worst of it will have moved away from the far south—west of england and the far west of wales, but still raining in wales. the northern island of rain makes good progress. drying up nicely, with sunshine and showers. through deepening and overnight the rain continues to slowly edged towards the east —— through the evening. headed of a —— ahead of its

dry weather. then showers across wales and south—west england. some will be heavy and thundery. not to the extent that we saw earlier this week. so we start tomorrow a game with those showers. tomorrow is going to be a mixture of sunshine and showers. some eastern areas with and showers. some eastern areas with a weather front continue to hang on to rain. that will eventually become confined to eastern and north—eastern parts of scotland. if you are out of the showers in the sunshine it will feel pleasant. in the sunday you can see the rain right across eastern parts of scotla nd right across eastern parts of scotland and fringing into the north—east of england. that will fragment through the day. we also have a mixture of sunshine and showers, but drierfrom have a mixture of sunshine and showers, but drier from the west, for example in northern ireland. temperatures over the next few days, they are roughly where they should be at this stage injuly. the reason we are in buckingham palace this morning is because tomorrow the summer exhibition starts. it shows

lots of gifts that the queen has been presented with over her rain and also there will be a broom dedicated to diana, the excess of wales —— room. this is what we saw yesterday. 20 years on, a tribute to diana, princess of wales, to commemorate the anniversary of her death. diana princess of wales was well—known for her love of dan. you can see this ballet shoes behind me. she used to hang those on her sitting—room door. then we have this magnificent writing desk, which she would have written her correspondence from. we have picture frames with pictures of her sons and it was her sons, the duke of cambridge and prince harry, who selected most of the items that

you can see here. two of the pieces on display are her cup woks, part of the traditional boarding school kit that she would have taken with her. full of sweets. its enormous! yes. at the right—hand side her collection of the sets, including classical music such as pavarotti and popular music such as diana ross and popular music such as diana ross and george michael. gifts given to diana also take pride of place. a leather briefcase wedding present and the present from president reagan. and in the next room something different. it celebrates something different. it celebrates some of the extraordinary gifts the queen has been given in her 65 year rain. but what do you give someone that has everything? a signed picture ofjfk given to the queen by the man himself? saddle given by the portuguese. many of the gifts given to the queen represent the local

craftsmanship of the particular country, rather like easter road, donated by the people from nigeria. —— rather like this the rome. only a person of oil status could sit on this throne. topped off with a beaded crown. we found some of the more bizarre things. london underground sign, personalised passes for the commonwealth games and a bagful of salt, a 90th birthday present from one of the british virgin islands. and then this, a portrait from the president of rwanda. from the frankly quite unique to the exquisitely ornate. it isa unique to the exquisitely ornate. it is a lifetime of gifts. there were some amazing gifts in there but the thing i was most intrigued by worker lambie as that the queen and duke of edinburgh were

given after the commonwealth games. it must be so difficult to buy a gift for the queen. you can't really say, what's your favourite gift for the queen. you can't really say, what's yourfavourite perfume? it must have been so hard to come up with something original! you're absolutely right. we will talk more about that amazing exhibition of little later in the morning. thanks very much. the disgraced america sports star oj simpson is to be released on parole after serving nine years in a nevada prison. he was found guilty in 2008 of a botched armed robbery in las vegas, exactly 13 years to the day after he was sensationally cleared of killing his wife and her friend in the so—called trial of the century. ozzie fumo was part of oj simpson's legal team that tried to secure his early release in 2014. he joins us from las vegas. thank you very much forjoining us on bbc breakfast. it's good to have

the chance to talk to you. how much ofa the chance to talk to you. how much of a surprise was that oj simpson was released on parole? thank you for having me. it was no surprise to me. the prison system in nevada bases release parole on a points system. in 2013 when he went for his first parole system, because the sentences were consecutive he was granted parole then. he was deemed a risk assessment factor and he was deemed a level three, or had three points. you can be released if you have up to five. so i knew that the only point that could be added to the risk assessment was if he got a write—up in prison. in prison, in nevada, you can get a write—up for bringing an extra sugar packet to yourself, exchanging clothes with an inmate, it's easy to get a write—up. for a inmate, it's easy to get a write—up. fora man to inmate, it's easy to get a write—up. for a man to spend 9.5 years in prison and not received a single write—up was almost unheard—of. prison and not received a single write-up was almost unheard-of. he said he spent a conflict free life,

he smiles when he was given the parole... given the release on parole... given the release on parole. you had contact with him while he was in prison. what did he tell you about life in prison? life in nevada state prison is not a life anybody wants to lead. you're locked ina cage anybody wants to lead. you're locked in a cage with perhaps another cellmate, it's about eight x 10' wide, there's a toilet and you have to do your business in front of man. you get to choose every day between hygiene or exercise. you don't get to do both. so it ages you. i believe it takes years off your life, being in prison. he is now 70 yea rs life, being in prison. he is now 70 years old, being released into the world again. a world where it's going to be very difficult for him, i would imagine. going to be very difficult for him, iwould imagine. really going to be very difficult for him, i would imagine. really want to keep his life private? adding that exactly what he wants. one of the things that touched me when he was speaking to the parole board is he

has mixed 36 birthdays and life moves on for everybody else. he wa nts to moves on for everybody else. he wants to spend time with his sister, who lives in sacramento, 40, he wa nts to who lives in sacramento, 40, he wants to spend the majority of his time in florida with his children. if the parole board allows him to do that he will move back there. he will be given a parole officer. in the us you can move between states if the other state will accept you. so he will have to apply to what's called the interstate compact clause in florida will have to say whether or not they will accept him and he can move back. that's their choice if that's what he wants to do. i don't believe he will stay in nevada but i think we will quickly apply for that interstate compact and go back to florida and he probably wa nts to back to florida and he probably wants to live the rest of his life in solitude. i doubt we will see him about much. this is a man who was known by many as having been accused of the murder of his ex—wife and her

friend. notorious, almost, ithink it is fairto friend. notorious, almost, ithink it is fair to say. he is a name that people are very familiar with. when he comes out i imagine there will be media offers to talk to him. i'm not sure what his financial situation is. you think he will be amenable to that? will we see him back in the spotlight, in terms of media coverage? i know there's been a tsunami of media coverage when he got the parole hearings. it will probably be the same when he gets out. he will be inundated with requests. i doubt he will do anything, myself. although he wrote mea anything, myself. although he wrote me a letter while i was part of the nevada state assembly, asking for books and educational materials for the prison system. he spoke about the prison system. he spoke about the systems he has received and he said perhaps he would start a blog or some kind of web cast, and maybe we will see him doing his own thing, but i don't know. it will be so

different when he gets out. i think we will just different when he gets out. i think we willjust remain in seclusion for as long as possible and just get used to life again. thanks very much for talking to us. oj simpson's former defence lawyer. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm sonja jessup. the capital's mayor is calling on the government and train operating companies to freeze fares injanuary on suburban rail routes. commuters are facing a price hike of 3.5%. sadiq khan is also demanding that passengers be compensated if works at waterloo station are delayed beyond august. police say they're concerned for the welfare of a 12—year—old girl from south—east london, who's thought to have gone missing with her mother. thandiwe kombe ka nya nta from bexley hasn't been seen since tuesday. police are searching for her and her mother, chileshe ka nya nta. now, would you share your problems with a complete stranger?

a new experiment, backed by the government and led by a team of clinical psychologists, is encouraging us to do just that. pop—up booths have been set up for londoners to talk to and support each other. it's about opening up conversations around mental health and well—being just to destigmatise these things, to get people talking and maybe do something about it. it's the busiest day of the summer for holiday departures at gatwick. 84,000 people are expected to fly out of the airport today. the highest number all season. and the most popular short haul destination this year? barcelona. time for a look at the travel now. the good news is there are no problems reported so far on the tube. all of those lines are running well at the moment. there's no heathrow express or connect rail service because of faulty track. this is how the a13 looks. a truck's broken down on the way into town, just before the canning town flyover. that's adding to the usual rush hour delays.

there's been an accident close to wormwood scrubs. scrubs lane is blocked near the railway bridge. and in eltham, one lane is closed on the south circular westbound at the cliftons roundabout for works. good morning. a fresher feeling start to today. lots more sunny spells, as we saw yesterday afternoon, but turning breezier and we could see a couple of showers by the end of the afternoon. we start on about 13—14 celsius. the best of the sunshine through the morning, and then the southerly breeze will pick up and we will see more cloud. a couple of showers towards berkshire, buckinghamshire and surrey by the end of the afternoon. top temperatures 23 or maybe 24, always tempered by the breeze. through the evening rush—hour and for the first part of the night we will all see some outbreaks of rain from this weakening feature. it'll be dry by tomorrow morning.

lows of about 13—14 once again. if you've got outdoor plans for the weekend, bear in mind there will be wet weather around. this low pressure will swirl around, allowing showers to develop, especially on saturday afternoon and through much of sunday, dispersed with some sunshine. highs of about 22 celsius. more showers possible on monday. things settling down on tuesday and wednesday. that's it for now. we will be back in half an hour. more on the website at the usual address. bye for now. hello. this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. a warning that uk skies could be running out of room. today will be the busiest for air travel on record. as the summer holiday season kicks off, air—traffic chiefs call for drastic modernisation in the way airspace is managed. a record 8,800 flights are expected to take to the skies today. i'm here at air traffic control in swanwick to find out how

they manage it. good morning. it is friday, 21june. also this morning: a powerful earthquake strikes near tourist resorts in greece and turkey killing two people and injuring dozens of others. the former american football star, oj simpson has been granted parole, just nine years in to his 33 year sentence. i have done my time. i have done it as respectfully as anybody can. in sport, americans lead the way at the open championship. andrewjohnson began first, four shots off the three americans who lead the way. as hannah cockroft wins her third gold medal of the world para—athletics

championships, we'll talk to her after that victory and to those inspired by her success. and carol has the weather from buckingham palace this morning. good morning. we are right next to the lake. buckingham palace is behind the trees. the reason we are here is because tomorrow and exhibition exhibition opens up. there is also a room dedicated to diana, princess of wales. a today there is a lot of sunshine, especially in the north and east. however, in the west, especially the south—west, we are looking at more rain and strong winds. i will have 15 minutes. thank you. first, our main story: air—traffic controllers are warning that uk skies are running out of room for record numbers of planes. it comes on what is expected to be the busiest ever day for controllers, with nearly 9,000 flights expected. colletta smith reports. the skies above us could be busier

today than they've ever been, as people set off on their summer holidays. air—traffic controllers say they're expecting to handle a record 8,800 flights today, and they're warning it will be their busiest summer yet. nats, which manages uk airspace, is half owned by government and controls air traffic across the uk, they are expecting more than 770,000 flights to cross our skies this summer. that's 40,000 more than last year. air traffic bosses say they can safely manage the busier skies but warn passengers of a future risk of regular delays if major changes aren't made to how uk airspace is managed. they want traditional flight paths changed, with more satellite navigation used instead of ground—based radio beacons, to allow aircraft to climb, cruise,

and descend more efficiently. the department of transport consulted on changing the way our skies are managed earlier in the year but they are yet to make an announcement. and it's notjust our skies that will be busier today, the rac is predicting this weekend our roads will see their busiest weekend of the summer. it is busy on the road and busy in the airas it is busy on the road and busy in the air as well. colletta is at air traffic control in swanwick this morning. you are seeing how it works and how they are coping with soon—to—be record numbers of planes in the sky is. exactly, yes. good morning, everyone. we are getting a sneak peek behind—the—scenes at what happens when you get on your plane and takeoff on your summer holidays this year. these are the guys making it happen. behind me you can see a traffic controllers at work. we are not allowed close to them so we don't disturb them. they are talking

to pilots in the sky at the moment. these guys are controlling the ones flying really high across uk airspace and lots of those here are just arriving for their shifts because things are getting very busy today, especially those controlling the landings and takeoffs around london, which is one of the busiest air spaces london, which is one of the busiest airspaces in london, which is one of the busiest air spaces in the world. i showed you this screen one hour ago for anyone watching. you might notice considerably more planes now. each of these numbers is a flight. of course they are all at different levels. that is south of the uk, showing how they are moving around, and the guys keeping on top of it all, keeping cool, calm and collected, just as you would hope at this time of year. thank you very much. two people have been killed and around 100 others have been injured on the greek island of kos during a strong earthquake. the tremor struck under the sea between greece and turkey early this morning. there was also flooding in the turkish resort of bodrum, as a result of a small tsunami. greg dawson reports.

after being shaken from their sleep, locals and tourists on the island of kos ran into the streets to see the damage. many holiday makers chose to camp outside their hotels. officials on the island said two people were killed when the ceiling of a building collapsed. more than 100 are reported to be injured. some were airlifted to the larger island of rhodes for treatment. at 1:30am in the morning we were woken by a tremendous shaking of the whole building. the fans were thrown around, a mirror came off, lasting approximately 10—15 seconds. myself, my wife and two children just got our stuff as quick as we could. and, as we made our way out, there was a second shock. tremors that lasted a few minutes were enough to damage buildings that have stood for more than a century. british tourist ricky shah was in his hotel room at the time. it was for about 30 seconds,

you could feel the whole room shake. a few bottles fell off, obviously from the night stand, and you couldn't really hear. and then, suddenly, you heard other people kind of... there was a bit of commotion. children were waking and crying. in the turkish resort of bodrum, these people were at a restaurant when the ground began to shake. the small tsunami triggered by the quake led to localised flooding. authorities report there has been no major damage to the city but have warned people to be aware of after—shocks. let's get a little bit more on this now. yes, we woke up in the middle of the night, and it sounds like you

we re of the night, and it sounds like you were in the london underground waiting for a train to approach. then it just waiting for a train to approach. then itjust starts to shake violently in the apartment, and my husband and i had been told it is a goodidea husband and i had been told it is a good idea to get outside the building. so, yes. quite concerned, we we re building. so, yes. quite concerned, we were slightly concerned because our children were in town clubbing, so we had to get in touch with them to make sure that they were fine and able to get home ok. yes, conflicting reports about the damage done to buildings. can you give us a sense of what you have seen or heard. that is the strange thing, they were in the main town, which is about 45 minutes from kos, there was no collateral damage. we were in a resort and there is absolutely nothing here — everything is fine and people were quite reassuring, not to worry, and i was concerned about going to the beach because of

about going to the beach because of a tsunami. it isjust not about going to the beach because of a tsunami. it is just not really what you expect on your summer holidays. no, clearly. some people have taken the choice to sleep outside overnight last night, presumably you would understand that. you seem fairly philosophical about that but it must have been frightening. it was terrifying. we have been in kos several times before and they have had mild tremors over the last five years, and they are very laid back about it. they just thought and they are very laid back about it. theyjust thought it and they are very laid back about it. they just thought it was and they are very laid back about it. theyjust thought it was ok, don't worry, it happens all the time. for us this was one of the biggest tremors we have experienced here. so, for us, it is not normal, we did panic and think, oh my goodness, what do we do and where do we go? you and your family are safe and well and you will carry on with your holiday? yes, indeed, it is the most beautiful pace and people are so lovely. my thoughts and prayers to those who have lost their lives.

thank you for your time, louise. louise was one of those caught up in the event, she is on holiday in kos at the moment. two people have lost their lives and we understand 100 have been injured following a day. the former american football star oj simpson is to be released from prison this autumn after serving nine years of a 33 year sentence for armed robbery. in 1995, simpson was acquitted of the murder of his ex—wife nicole brown simpson and herfriend, turning him into one of the most divisive figures in the country. his parole hearing was broadcast on us television. our los angeles correspondent james cook reports. the environment secretary, michael gove, will today warn that after brexit farming subsidies must be earned rather than simply handed out to already wealthy landowners. let's get some more details from our political correspondent chris mason, who is in westminster for us. good morning. these subsidies have a lwa ys good morning. these subsidies have always been quite confusing when you try to assess how they are divvied

out and who qualifies for them. absolutely. right at the heart of them for so many years has been at them for so many years has been at the european union and the common agricultural policy as it is known. a huge ticket of expenditure for the european union. half of farmers' income come from subsidies and the whole process of brexit was always going to be one that could involve the potential for a vast amount of change. and michael gove, the environment secretary, will say today that instead of a system where payments are indirect proportion to how much land you have, as a farmer, he wants to ensure that their environmental obligations are built into that. he also says there is scope for what he calls a green brexit and with the huge amount of laws that we transfer from brussels to westminster and potentially the devolved administrations as well in cardiff, edinburgh and belfast, that isa cardiff, edinburgh and belfast, that is a great opportunity for

politicians here to shape the environmental laws of the future. some have been sceptical, fearing that a cutback in regulation could meana dirty that a cutback in regulation could mean a dirty brexit could come about. the discussion beginning around a crucial area. ok, thank you very much. road tolls on the severn bridges will be scrapped by the end of next year, putting an end to what some described as a tax on entering wales. ministers say the decision will deliver a significant boost to the local economy, and strengthen links between england and wales. laura jones is standing on the english side of the crossing for us this morning. it is an amazing scene. the backdrop is spectacular. tell us more about what will happen in practice. is spectacular. tell us more about what will happen in practicem is spectacular. tell us more about what will happen in practice. it is spectacular. it would be a lot more spectacular. it would be a lot more spectacular if it was a nice morning. they have been charging people to drive across here since the first bridge opened in 1966. 30 yea rs later we the first bridge opened in 1966. 30 years later we had this one. and between them, 25 million journeys are made across them each year. they

have been talking about scrapping the tolls for years. today we have the tolls for years. today we have the official announcement they will come to an end at the end of 2018. apart from a view concerns about increased traffic and congestion, it is hard to find anyone who isn't really ha p py is hard to find anyone who isn't really happy about this announcement. of course, good news for commuters, holidaymakers and for the local economy. one piece of not so good transport news involves the railways. plans to electrify the line between paddington and south wales, which have been to set with problems and they are no longer going between cardiff and swansea. thank you very much. crime in england and wales has seen its largest annual rise in a decade, according to figures from the office for national statistics. the government says it must do more to tackle the increase, while a separate home office report shows the number of police officers is at its lowest since 1985. overall, the total number of crimes reported to and recorded by the police rose by 10% between april 2016 and march 2017 to almost five million.

violent crime was up by 18%, robbery by 16% and sex offences by 14%. there was also a big rise in firearms offences, up by 23%, with an increase in knife crime of 20%. joining us now is sir peter fahy, former chief constable for greater manchester police, and alison cope, who's an anti—knife campaigner after her son was stabbed to death. thank you so much for coming in to speak to us today. peter, if we can talk to you first, these figures, tell us, you know inside out what happens within police forces. what do you make of these figures? they are very worrying. and against the lowest number of police officers since 1985 it tells me the police will be doing more work recording crime than investigating it. the long—term impact is officers are

less proactive, doing less community work, less work getting on the backs of those criminals. most crime is committed by a small number of criminals. these figures indicate the system has been less effective controlling those people. this argument between the numbers of police and the rise we are seeing now. nick hurd, ministerfor policing and the fire service, says the links are not as clear as people think. you seem to say categorically there is a definite link. no direct link as you say, but over time what you will see, what these figures indicate, is less control of those persistent offenders, because of a police force becoming more reactive and less proactive. that is a direct link, isn't it? it is. i am confused. these figures are confusing. when you see crime rising like this, when you know that there are otherfigures, like like this, when you know that there are other figures, like the effect of the prison system, failures in

the probation service, which means the probation service, which means the system is less effective on getting on the back of those criminals, that is a worrying trend, and with the other figures, rising down and knife crime, that would indicate it is all coming together. you can reduce police officers in the short—term, but over the long—term it means they are being less proactive and doing less work, long—term work, with young people, other agencies, and stay today on the backs of persistent criminals. you mention the rise in knife crime and allison, the perfect time to talk to you. first of all, tell us what happened to your son. my son was performing at an event for young boy who was killed the year previously. my son was stabbed once in the heart and he died seven hours later. by someone he knew? yes, by somebody he knew. the reference there was the persistent offenders. you said to be on top of persistent

offenders. so i'm assuming the person who stabbed your son was not a persistent offender? no, he had never been arrested before. so now you campaign against carrying knives. do you see a correlation between what are doing when it comes to his doctor and search, education for children about knife crime? have you seen a change? because the inference is that low police officer numbers are affecting this.|j inference is that low police officer numbers are affecting this. i can only go on my own experiences, because they don't work within the police. i was a normal mum and overnight it became a very high profile case. i've seen with my own eyes how difficult it is to get any support for young people who are struggling. when my son was killed he was well—known in the music industry, so i had all of his fans, friends, thousands of young people angry and hurt by his death and i

turned to every agency you could imagine and they said there were no services in my area, most of all for young people. what was i supposed to do? isi young people. what was i supposed to do? is i had to do it myself. i engage with young people and a lot of them turned their lives around and went on the right direction, so i saw and went on the right direction, so isaw in and went on the right direction, so i saw in my own eyes that intervention and education was the key to guide these young people. lot of people listening will be so full of respect for the work you are doing now, given what you've been through. in terms of the things you've learnt, how do you see the rise in the number of young people carrying knives that seems to be something emerging and you know this better than anyone. i think we have a generation of young will bat are the consequences of all the government cut, because these are the young people brought up when

youth services, probation services, have all been cut. so they are left to their own devices. we always hear on the news they are out of control, no respect, then you look at the families, their support has been cut. so this is understandable, why we are in this position. so many young people are living in fear because they live their lives through social media now. so everyday they're seeing a headline, ona everyday they're seeing a headline, on a bus you will get stabbed, in a park you will get stabbed. there's been such a breakdown of communication with young people. there aren't enough positive messages, that this is a reality. peter, you listen and your story is so compelling, your voice is very real because of what has happened. but those sound like such long—term things. the issue of officers on the street, try and help us... does this

have a very odd people on the street? it isn't just have a very odd people on the street? it isn'tjust about officers on patrol, it is about being really engaged with schools, youth groups, with people like alison. she said her local police have to apply to the lottery fund to get funding and it's that sort of thing which is really working. it isn'tjust office rs really working. it isn'tjust officers in really working. it isn'tjust office rs in yellow really working. it isn'tjust officers in yellowjackets, it is about the long—term work, working with other agencies, working with youth groups. and absolutely being met, especially with the groups that are most vulnerable. this isn't local authorities, or the police, because they get their money from the government and the government, you know, without sounding too political, this is theirfault because they are trying to save money and over the last 12 months the amount of stabbings has cost the government, through the courts, the

nhs, millions of pounds. thank you so much for coming in. it's ok. thank you for your time. let's get the weather forecast. carol is at buckingham palace. good morning. it is beautiful here. iam in good morning. it is beautiful here. i am in the rose garden. a beautiful fragrance coming from the garden. the reason we are here is because tomorrow inside buckingham palace, in the state rooms, the summer exhibition opens. this year it is looking at gifts the queen has been presented with during her rain and there's a room dedicated to diana, princess of wales. she was fond of dance and we have a picture of her dancing. inside that particular room you can see the ballet shoes she wore. and items that particular room, some of them were chosen by

pop—up booths have been set up for londoners to talk to and support each other. it's about opening up conversations around mental health and well—being just to destigmatise these things, to get people talking and maybe do something about it. items belonging to diana, princess of wales, are to go on display at buckingham palace tomorrow. they include pictures of her family, cassette tapes and the desk from her sitting room in kensington palace. many items have been selected by her sons, the duke of cambridge and prince harry. time for a look at the travel now. the good news is there are no problems reported so far on the tube. all of those lines are running well at the moment. there's no heathrow express or connect rail service though because of faulty track. this is how the a13 looks. it's busy heading into town from dagenham, not helped by a broken down truck earlier. there's been an accident close to wormwood scrubs. scrubs lane is blocked near the railway bridge. and in eltham, one lane is closed

on the south circular westbound at the cliftons roundabout for works. let's have a check on the weather now. good morning. a fresher feeling start to today. there'll be lots more sunny spells, as we saw yesterday afternoon, but it will turn breezier and we could see a couple of showers by the end of the afternoon as well. starting off at about 13—14 celsius. the best of the sunshine through the morning, and then the southerly breeze will pick up and we will see more cloud from the west. a couple of showers towards berkshire, buckinghamshire and surrey by the end of the afternoon. top temperatures 23 or maybe 24, always tempered by the breeze by the end of the day. through the evening rush—hour and for at least the first part of the night we will all see some outbreaks of rain from this weakening feature. it'll be dry by tomorrow morning, though. lows of about 13—14 once again. now, if you've got outdoor plans for the weekend, just bear in mind there will be wet weather around at times.

this low pressure will be swirling around, allowing showers to develop, especially on saturday afternoon and through much of sunday, indispersed with some sunshine. highs of about 22 celsius. more showers possible on monday. things settling down on tuesday and wednesday. that's it for now. we will be back in half an hour. more on the website at the usual address. bye for now. hello. this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. the time isjust the time is just gone 7:30am. the main stories this morning. air traffic controllers are warning that uk skies are running out of room for record numbers of planes. it comes on what is expected to be the busiest ever day for controllers, with nearly 9,000 flights expected. air traffic chiefs say a redesign of the uk's ageing network of flight paths and air routes is urgently needed. two people have been killed and around 100 others have been injured on the greek island of kos

during a strong earthquake. the tremor struck under the sea between greece and turkey early this morning. there was also flooding in the turkish resort of bodrum as a result of a small tsunami. greg dawson reports. after being shaken from their sleep, locals and tourists on the island —— and another piece of news is oj simpson, former american football star, is to be released on parole from prison. in 1995, simpson was acquitted of the murder of his ex—wife nicole brown simpson and herfriend, turning him into one of the most divisive figures in the country. his parole hearing was broadcast on us television. he will be out of prison later this year. the number of pupils being excluded from schools in england is at the highest level for nearly a decade. in the last year there were nearly 350 , 000 permanent or fixed—term exclusions from state schools.

more than 11,000 of those were for sexual misconduct, or drugs and alcohol abuse. tolls on the severn bridges between england and wales will be scrapped by the end of next year. ministers say the decision will strengthen links between the two nations and deliver a significant boost to the local economy. motorists who regularly use the bridges could save as much as £14,000 a year. —— as £1,400 a year. you may have seemed a glimpse is already with carol at buckingham palace. most people of course don't get the chance to go and have a look around. the cameras are having a little look around. it is amazing because some people don't realise that there is a lake at the back of buckingham palace gardens. and we have been given access inside as well, because any room has been open, and we have a room with all of

the gifts the queen has received, really interesting thing. we will see them later, and of course the diana room as well, in tribute to diana, of course. so, lots going on there. mike is going to update us in there. mike is going to update us in the sport in a little while. of course, the opa re the sport in a little while. of course, the opare is on. —— the open. let's go back to one of the main stories. there was an earthquake this morning affecting areas including kos, popular with holidaymakers. struck somewhere between greece and turkey and two have died. several injured, asta la has and two have died. several injured, astala has mentioned. naomi broady isa astala has mentioned. naomi broady is a holidaymaker, at a very popular tourist site on kos. —— as charlie mentioned. thank you for taking the time tojoin us on mentioned. thank you for taking the time to join us on breakfast. mentioned. thank you for taking the time tojoin us on breakfast. can you tell us what happened? the best way i can describe it is basically,

like, your room is underwater, swaying quickly from side to side. it was just incredibly... never been involved in anything like that ever. so, you just don't know what's happening. my mum and i were lying next to each other. she just said, you know, we need to get out of here. and we did. we ran out. then people were really don't know what to think. we were really lucky. our hotel wasn't badly affected. people we re hotel wasn't badly affected. people were sleeping outside. so, yes, surreal and a lot of people injured. we are very pleased you and your family are ok. and you are able to talk to us now on bbc breakfast. can you tell us what advise you are given? the room was shaking. you got out. what advice, guidance were you

given, what were you told to do? to be honest, not much. everyone was just... we were running out. the staff were all about in a flurry. we we re staff were all about in a flurry. we were outside of the hotel for about two hours just sitting there. i were outside of the hotel for about two hoursjust sitting there. i had my phone on me luckily. i was co nsta ntly my phone on me luckily. i was constantly looking at everything, trying to see if there were any updates. we had half an hour's sleep. just scared. there has been quite big after—shocks. the first one, we went to the restaurant, and the person we asked said, look, it has never happened before. (inaudible). do you want some water? our mouth or so dry. my mouth is still a little bit dry. completely understandable that you are going to be in some

form of shock of course. and frightened as well. he said these after—shocks were happening. are they still happening, are you able to get back into your hotel room? have you been given any guidance in that sense as to what happens next? luckily, our hotel is ok. we are in our hotel room now. we have been told by reception basically not to be with anything over azema heads, soi be with anything over azema heads, so i shouldn't really be here right now. and they said to stay outside as much as we can —— our heads. we we re as much as we can —— our heads. we were in the rest of, we thought it was over and done with. we were contemplating what happened, then quite a big after—shocks came and people just looked at each other and thought, it has happened again, ran outside and... got out there. my mum said we could go back in. and i said there was no way i was going back in. so we stayed out for about three hours in total. and then, yes,

people eventually started going back into their rooms. some people with bags, some people literally trying to get out of there. the majority of people were just trying to be light—hearted because children were there as well and they didn't want to scare their children, so they we re to scare their children, so they were just joking to scare their children, so they werejustjoking around. to scare their children, so they were just joking around. so, to scare their children, so they werejustjoking around. so, as far as advice goes, we've been told to wait for foreign office to give official advice to our holiday rep. for now basically just official advice to our holiday rep. for now basicallyjust told to stay outside and try and relax, but i don't think that is possible. outside and try and relax, but i don't think that is possiblelj think that is completely understandable. you are obviously shaken. we are grateful for you taking the time to talk to us. we wish you and your family well. safe journey back home as well. and thank you for taking the time to talk to us. and a reminder, talking about

the island of kos, to make people we re the island of kos, to make people were killed and around 100 others injured, and that was one of the eyewitnesses explaining what happened in the early hours of the morning. the time is 7:38am and time to talk to mike. this character here is the beef, you are asking who he was earlier. i hadn't heard of him before, then i realised you mentioned him earlier on, and in the official introduction, clearly his name is not beef, his nickname, and they use his nickname with the formal introduction. he says he prefers beef rather than andrew and doesn't recognise people when they say andrew. he doesn't take notice. it goes back to when he was eight years old and he was playing with his mates and his mate said your head is like a piece of beef and it has stuck ever since. he has teed off? he is through three holes and parfor off? he is through three holes and par for the day. the americans lead the way going into the second day of the open championship

at royal birkdale, but wind and rain is expected to cause problems for players today. jordan spieth's round of five—under par means he's in front alongside brooks koepka, who's this year's us open winner, and matt kuchar. the advantage is with those starting earlier because of the weather changing for the worse. but englishman paul casey is just one shot behind them. ian poulter is three under par. it looked like rory mcilroy could be going out of contention completely at one stage. he was five—over through the front nine but recovered with four birdies to finish six shots behind the leaders. i am proud of myself for hanging in there. i needed to stay as positive as i could. i wasn't very positive. my caddie was a big help today. he was trying to keep me as positive as possible. trying to remind me that i have won this before. don't feel any pressure, play your game and you will be ok. the last 12 holes that is what i did and thankfully i am still in the tournament. don't forget coverage on 5 live and

highlights on bbc two. and highlights on bbc two. and highlights on bbc two. and highlights on the bbc sport website from now until the round is over. britain's most successful pa ra—athlete, hannah cockroft, became a 10—time world champion last night as she won gold in the t34 women's 400m race. hurricane hannah claimed her third winner medal of the para athletic championships in london last night, with a championship record time of 58.30 seconds, while her teammate kare adenegan took home the bronze medal. georgina hermitage broke the world record as she defended her t37 400 metre title. britain picked up a silver and three other bronze medals to take their tally in london to 29. manchester united have beaten manchester city 2—0 in a friendly in the united states. a crowd of 67,000 turned out to see the pair meet in houston. new £75 million signing romelu lukaku got the first, and the second came just two minutes

later through england striker marcus rashford. it was the first manchester derby to be played since may's terrorist attack in the city and both teams wore shirts with the distinctive worker bee logo, which will be auctioned off to raise money for the victims. and in one hour we are talking cricket ahead of the world cup final with england— india. the trophy comes up with england— india. the trophy comes up to my knees. how much is it in inches? not very much a. laughter tiny, tiny little trophy. it isn't like a little ashes. it is going to be busy in the air today and we have been told these amazing figures, 8800 flights in the sky today in the uk, the busiest for air traffic control. there are

concerns the service is being stretched to its limits and colletta is that air traffic control for us. people are fascinated with what goes on, not least because we know the pressure of the workload, the number of planes in the sky. looking behind you, it is high—tech and low—tech, there is a phone to your left, and then of course we can see the screen is that they are working on on the other side. exactly, a mix in here, and of course they are updating things as they go through the decades, but a lot of what is done ona decades, but a lot of what is done on a day—to—day basis has been exactly the same for the last couple of decades. what you are seeing behind me is air—traffic controllers speaking to the pilots and these men and women are in charge of different airports are specially in the south of england. there are six or seven looking after heathrow, the busiest airport in the uk, and lots of others, these ones, controlled airports further north, birmingham, the midlands, making sure that planes take off and land safely. jamie is the boss. i suppose we can

see the road network and the rail network, we don't often see the air network, we don't often see the air network and what happens. and really how that needs to be updated and improved. it really does. if you and madge and airspace as the unit in the sky, it hasn't changed for decades. it wasn't designed to handle two and a half million flights a day. so really, if we are going to meet the demand for future growth in the uk, anticipating over 3 million flights in 2030, we need to make changes to airspace soon. interesting to hear the big changes potentially on the way while these quys potentially on the way while these guys are working really hard. and in the next hour i will speak with one of the air controllers to find out exactly what it is like to be under that kind of pressure and the changes that need to come in to improve some of the difference between the high—tech and the

low—tech that you are talking about here on what is expected to be the busiest day in our airspace a that we are seeing here in the uk. so, the workforce are out already here ready for their shifts, ready to go and, asi ready for their shifts, ready to go and, as i say, in one hour we will speak with an air traffic controller. colletta, really interesting looking around there. we will talk to you later. thank you. sir vince cable was named leader of the liberal democrats without a contest yesterday, after no other candidates came forward. he says the party can bring common sense and mutual respect back to british politics. butjust how does he hope to do that? we can speak to sir vince now from our westminster studios. good morning. thank you very much for your time this morning. one thing we do know and presumably you know better than anyone else is what the liberal democrats can't do now is what they did before, because there's no point doing that. what are you going to do differently? the first thing we should do differently is to address the sort of vast middle ground of british politics

thatis middle ground of british politics that is largely been abandoned by the major parties. they've effectively been taken over by hardline zealots and equally we've got the labour party in the hands of the hard left. what i call the centre ground of moderation has largely been abandoned and we should occu py largely been abandoned and we should occupy it. in particular we should focus on straightforward economic competence. in parliament it has been assumed that political parties are there to offer a sensible approach to policy because that produces improved living standards, more money for the health service and the economy. in the last general election the economy was effectively abandoned, we have this entire focus on brexit, we don't know where it will lead, but it's a very good and we may well finish up with a bad settle m e nt we may well finish up with a bad settlement or none at all. let's cut to the chase. what is it you want? you want to vote, another

referendum? we want two things. in the immediate future what we want is to work with people in other parties to work with people in other parties to try to make sure that things in the eu that work well for britain, the eu that work well for britain, the single market, the customs union, the common research and common approach to environmental issues, that we keep them. and we fight in parliament to keep the good things about the european union. at the end of it, when we know what the government has succeeded in negotiating or not, we want the public to have a verdict on whether they accept that or whether we go back. a 2—stage process. we are very clear about what we are sticking. that's another referendum ? clear about what we are sticking. that's another referendum?m wouldn't be another referendum, but it wouldn't be a rerun of the last one. what we do feel is that at the end of this process, see what the

government has produced. it is possible they can produce a decent outcome, but it doesn't look like it. if we have a bad settlement or none at all in the public should have the choice of what we call an exit from brexit and it should be one of the options available. can i ask you something? speaking to you now, and i've interviewed you many times because you've been in politics for a long time, and in a way is that part of the problem? seeing you now, speaking as a leader of the liberal democrats, people are possibly thinking, well, that's what politics was like quite a long time ago, instead of being something new and refreshing? novelty for its own sake seems to have little merit. i mean, i have actuallyjust fought my way back into parliament, having lost. i've been out for two years and i've had a chance to reflect. i could have just disappeared and gone off and written books, which is what

i've been doing, but actually the state of the country is now sufficiently critical that people like myself, who have got experience, as well as ambition for the future, have got to pitch in and be very much at the centre of public wealth and that's the spirit i come back in. if you look at politics now, and you are very experienced, if you look at the great success stories of politics, like emmanuel macron in france, who is brand—new, com pletely macron in france, who is brand—new, completely new to politics... to most people, and you look at donald trump who has never been elected before, that's a different style, people might sayjeremy corbyn, written off, and it's a whole new thing. i'm not clear what the new thing. i'm not clear what the new thing that sir vince cable brings to the liberal democrats is. jeremy corbyn and donald trump are of my

generation. i wasn't making an issue around age. you started with emmanuel macron. he was my opposite number in the french government when i was secretary of state for business and we talked often. we had a very similar approach. his basic message to the french people who we re very message to the french people who were very tired and disillusioned by the traditional right and the traditional left, is that you need something else, which is moderate, middle of the road, certainly for reform, and that's exactly the formula that me and my party can offer and it is different from the tory party or the labour party, just as emmanuel macron is offering in france. thank you very much for your time this morning. time to talk to carol, who is at buckingham palace, lending in beautifully with the roses! good morning. good morning. thanks. look at the roses. the roses at buckingham

palace are stunning. each bed had its —— has its own colours. the fragrance is beautiful. a —— and the weather isn't shabby in london. a bit chilly if you are just stepping out but it will warm up nicely later. it isn't like this everywhere. for the west today it is wet and windy, especially across wales and south—west england. there will be squally winds around the rain. at the moment we have showers. but those showers will be replaced by rain later and you can see at extending through wales, into northern ireland, just fringing in the south—west scotland. ahead of this the low pressure has the cloud building, but we should stay dry in east and north. sunshiny northern

and eastern scotland this afternoon. rain coming in the south—west and cloud building ahead of it. northwest england sees a couple of showers, north—west england should stay dry. further south into east anglia, essex, kent, around london, again hanging onto dry conditions, with cloud building towards the isle of wight. we are likely to see showers here as well. the south—west has heavy rain, extending through wales. gusty winds around that. you can see how it is moving away from cornwall and west wales in the afternoon, nonetheless there will be showers and pretty windy as well. for northern ireland, the rain is moving away to the cause of this morning. it dries up and brightens up morning. it dries up and brightens up and we have sunshine. we can't rule out showers through the afternoon. through the evening and overnight that will slowly moved eastwards. ahead of it it will be dry and just behind it will be dry. in the middle of the night we have showers coming in. some of them will

be thundery, with hail. not as bad as it was earlier this week, but again you will notice them. so we start with those showers tomorrow and infact start with those showers tomorrow and in fact tomorrow for many of us it will be at day of sunshine and showers. the weather front getting into the east, clearing and eastern england, hanging around the north—east and a lot of weddings ta ke north—east and a lot of weddings take place today. you might be lucky! if you are in the sunshine it will feel quite pleasant. for sunday, you can see the rain on the chart in eastern parts of scotland, that will break up and fragment through the day. then on sunday a game it's a day of sunshine and showers, with not all of us catching a shower. if anything it will brighten up from the west as we go through the day. drier for example in northern ireland. over the next few days temperatures will be lovely where they should be —— roughly. the reason i am here this morning is because tomorrow the state rooms

open for the summer exhibition. this year it is looking at gifts presented to her majesty the queen during the course of her rain. there's also a room dedicated to diana, of wales, and we had the privilege of visiting it yesterday for a preview. 20 years on, a tribute to diana, princess of wales, to commemorate the anniversary of her death. diana, princess of wales, was well—known for her love of dance. you can see her actual ballet shoes behind me. she used to hang those on her sitting—room door. next to them we have this magnificent writing desk, which she would have replied to correspondence. lots of artefacts on top of it, we have picture frames with pictures of her sons and it was her sons, the duke of cambridge and prince harry, who selected most of the items that you can see here.

two of the pieces on display are the princess's tucker boxes, part of the traditional boarding school kit that she would have taken with her. and they would have been full of sweets. full of sweets ? it's enormous! yes. and on the right—hand side is her collection of casettes, including classical music such as pavarotti and popular music such as diana ross and george michael. gifts given to diana also take pride of place. a leather briefcase wedding present and a present from president reagan. and in the next room something a little different. this year's summer opening of the palace celebrates some of the extraordinary gifts the queen has been given in her 65 year reign. but what do you give someone who has everything? a signed picture ofjfk given to the queen by the man himself? a lover of horses. of course, a saddle, given by the portuguese. many of the gifts given to the queen represent the local craftsmanship of the particular country, rather like this throne,

donated by the people from nigeria. only a person of royal status could sit on this throne. topped off nicely by a beaded crown. we found some of the more bizarre things. a london underground sign, personalised passes for the commonwealth games and a bagful of salt, a 90th birthday present from one of the british virgin islands. and then this, a portrait from the president of rwanda, made out of banana leaves. from the frankly quite unique to the exquisitely ornate. it is a lifetime of gifts. some very unique gifts. some of the things you didn't see were things like the badge that tim peake worn his arm when he went into space. the

queen also gets live gifts. she has had kangaroos distant, cowles, a —— kangaroos gifted, a cow, a sloth. but now those gifts will stay in the country they are gifted from. so amazing to see. what a privilege. you are one very lucky lady! thanks very much, speak later. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm sonja jessup. the capital's mayor is calling on the government and train operating companies to freeze fares injanuary on suburban rail routes. commuters are facing a price hike of 3.5%. sadiq khan is also demanding that passengers be compensated if works at waterloo station are delayed beyond august. police say they're concerned for the welfare of a 12—year—old girl from south—east london, who's thought to have gone missing

with her mother. thandiwe kombe ka nya nta from bexley hasn't been seen since tuesday. police are searching for her and her mother, chileshe ka nya nta. the consumer watchdog which has found that as many as a quarter of tickets to popular music, theatre and sporting events end up on secondary websites. in one case, tickets for the first night of the bbc proms were found to have a mark up of 300%. the competition and markets authority is investigating. now, would you share your problems with a complete stranger? a new experiment, backed by the government and led by a team of clinical psychologists, is encouraging us to do just that. pop—up booths have been set up for londoners to talk to and support each other. it's about opening up conversations around mental health and well—being just to destigmatise these things, to get people talking and maybe do something about it. time for a look at the travel now.

the good news is there are no problems reported so far on the tube — all of those lines are running well at the moment. the heathrow and connect rail service is running again, but there are delays. this is how the a13 looks. it's busy heading into town from dagenham. in elton, one lane closed on the south circular westbound. let's have a check on the weather now. good morning. a fresher feeling start to today. there'll be lots more sunny spells, as we saw yesterday afternoon, but it will turn breezier and we could see a couple of showers by the end of the afternoon as well. starting off at about 13—14 celsius. the best of the sunshine through the morning,

and then the southerly breeze will pick up and we will see more cloud from the west. a couple of showers towards berkshire, buckinghamshire and surrey by the end of the afternoon. top temperatures 23 or maybe 24, always tempered by the breeze by the end of the day. through the evening rush—hour and for at least the first part of the night we will all see some outbreaks of rain from this weakening feature. it'll be dry by tomorrow morning, though. lows of about 13—14 once again. now, if you've got outdoor plans for the weekend, just bear in mind there will be wet weather around at times. this low pressure will be swirling around, allowing showers to develop, especially on saturday afternoon and through much of sunday, interspersed with some sunshine. highs of about 22 celsius. more showers possible on monday. things settling down on tuesday and wednesday. that's it for now. we will be back in half an hour. more on the website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. a warning that uk skies could be running out of room. today will be the busiest

for air travel on record. as the summer holiday season kicks off, air—traffic chiefs call for drastic modernisation in the way airspace is managed. a record 9,000 flights are expected to take to the skies today. men and women behind me responsible for making sure we take off correctly. good morning. it's friday the 21st ofjuly. also on the programme... a powerful earthquake strikes near tourist resorts in greece and turkey, killing two people and injuring dozens of others. the former american football star oj simpson has been granted parole, just nine years into his 33—year sentence. i've done my time, you know? i've done it as well and as respectfully as i think anybody can. in sport... the second round of the open

championship is underway. england's andrew ‘beef‘ johnston teed off first. he started four shots off the three americans, who lead the way. and he is part for the day after four holes. and he is part for the day after four holes. as hannah cockroft wins her third gold medal of the world para—athletics championships. we'll talk to her after that victory and to those inspired by her success. and carol has the weather from buckingham palace this morning. good morning from the rose garden. buckingham palace is just good morning from the rose garden. buckingham palace isjust over there behind the trees. the roses are blowing in the breeze, the sky is blue, for many this morning, a chilly start with clear skies in the north and east and that is where we have the sunshine. a different story in the west, heavy rain and gusty winds, especially across parts of wales and south—west england. more details and 15 minutes. thank you. good morning. first, our main story. air traffic controllers are warning that uk skies are running out of room for record numbers of planes. it comes on what is expected to be the busiest ever day for controllers,

with nearly 9,000 flights expected. colletta smith reports. the skies above us could be busier today than they've ever been, as people set off on their summer holidays. air—traffic controllers say they're expecting to handle a record 8,800 flights today, and they're warning it will be their busiest summer yet. nats, which manages uk airspace, is half owned by government and controls air traffic across the uk. they're expecting more than 770,000 flights to cross our skies this summer. that's 40,000 more than last year. air traffic bosses say they can safely manage the busier skies but warn passengers of a future risk of regular delays if major changes aren't made to how uk airspace is managed. they want traditional flight paths changed, with more satellite navigation used instead of ground—based radio beacons, to allow aircraft to climb, cruise, and descend more efficiently.

the department of transport consulted on changing the way our skies are managed earlier in the year, but they're yet to make an announcement. and it's notjust our skies that will be busier today, the rac is predicting this weekend our roads will see their busiest weekend of the summer. two people have been killed and around 100 others have been injured on the greek island of kos, during a strong earthquake. the tremor struck under the sea between greece and turkey early this morning. there was also flooding in the turkish resort of bodrum, as a result of a small tsunami. this report from the greek island of lesbos. dozens of people were injured, most

of them with light injuries, although more serious injuries were airlifted to the larger greek island of rhodes for treatment. there was also structural damage mainly in kos with damage to some buildings, the roof of a bar collapsed and two people died. and a power outage in kos and bodrum. after—shocks went on for a couple of hours. and both greece and turkey seismically active and on significant fault lines, a major earthquake in turkey six years ago killed 700 people and huge earthquakes in 1999 in greece and turkey, one in greece that killed more than 140 people and two in turkey that killed 20,000 people. this earthquake was fairly large and measured 6.7, but fairly shallow as well. mitigated by the sea, it was about six miles deep, about ten kilometres. mitigated by the sea

water, but that created waves in both bodrum and kos. limited impact compared to the lord of the likes of the past, but both tourist destinations will count the cost of more seismic activity. people very confused and distressed about the instructions, they were told to leave the buildings and after—shocks coming through. earlier, we spoke to naomi ruddock, who is on holiday on kos. the best way i can describe it is basically like your room is underwater, just going very quickly from side to side. and it was just incredibly real. just loads of confusion. i've never been involved in anything like that, ever. you just don't know what's happening. my mum and i were lying next to each other, and she grabbed me and said, "we need to get out of here". and we did, we ran out, and we were really confused, nobody knows what's happening.

we were really lucky, our hotel wasn't badly affected, but people were still sleeping outside, too scared to go into their rooms. the former american football star oj simpson is to be released from prison this autumn after serving nine years of a 33—year sentence for armed robbery. in 1995, simpson was acquitted of the murder of his ex—wife nicole brown simpson and herfriend, turning him into one of the most divisive figures in the country. his parole hearing was broadcast on us television. our los angeles correspondentjames cook reports. our los angeles correspondent james cook reports. it was the trial of the century, an american superstar accused of stabbing to death his ex—wife and her friend. oj simpson had been arrested after a low—speed car chase across los angeles, broadcast live to a nation in shock. but that's not why he is in prison. oj simpson, not guilty of the crime of murder. he was arrested in la for raiding a hotel room in 2007 to reclaim sporting memorabilia

he said was his. nine years later, he appeared before the parole board stating his case for freedom. i've done my time. i've done it as respectfully as anyone can. if you talk to the wardens, they will tell you i gave them my word, i believe in thejury system. i have honoured their verdict. and the parole board accepted that argument. so, based on all of that, mr simpson, i vote to grant parole when eligible. more than 20 years after his sensational acquittal, it is clear that oj simpson still commands an audience. millions of americans tuned in to his parole hearing. but support may be fading. one recent poll suggests that only 7% of americans now think that the fallen star is not a killer. the environment secretary, michael gove, will today

warn that after brexit, farming subsidies must be earned, rather than simply handed out to already wealthy landowners. let's get some more details from our political correspondent chris mason, who is in westminsterfor us. good morning, there has been a lot of debate about these subsidies, who should get them, is the eu paying for our farmers should get them, is the eu paying for ourfarmers to stay should get them, is the eu paying for our farmers to stay in business, a very tough business. that transition from must leave the eu and how this will be distributed, thatis and how this will be distributed, that is what is interesting. yes, hugely interesting because this is a massive change. there has long been a discussion about eu subsidies to farmers, a lot of eu money going to farmers. often in proportion loosely to the amount of land they have. until now, it has been something that has been sorted by brussels and with brexit, that power will return

to westminster, possibly as well to the devolved administrations in cardiff, belfast and edinburgh. and how that works is now a central topic of debate. michael gove the new environment secretary says he wa nts to new environment secretary says he wants to ensure farmers have more environmental obligations, pegging the money they receive, and he wants a green brexit as britain takes control of environmental regulations. some fear what they call a dirty brexit with a cutback in regulations, but michael gove keen to reassure people. we will see how that pans out, thank you very much. road tolls on the severn bridges will be scrapped by the end of next year, putting an end to what some described as a "tax on entering wales." ministers say the decision will deliver a significant boost to the local economy — and strengthen links between england and wales. laura jones is standing on the english side of the crossing for us this morning. a little windy, but a marvellous backdrop. explain what these changes

will mean. of course, they have been charging people to drive across here since 1966 when the first rossi was opened. 30 years later, we have the second crossing and between them, there are 25 million journeys made backwards and forwards each year. there has been talk about scrapping the tolls but we have the announcement today they will go by the end of 2018. apart from some concerns about increased traffic and congestion, it is hard to find anyone who was not pleased with this. great news for holiday—makers and commuters and crucially the local economy. the welsh secretary reckons this will benefit the welsh economy to the tune of £100 million. elsewhere, not quite such good news, and the railways the plan to collective fibre line between paddington and south wales has hit a setback. the section between cardiff and swansea will now not be electrified. thank you very much. landing on the moon might have been one small step for man, but for a bag used to collect the first samples of dust and rock,

it meant a giant leap in value. it's sold for 1.8 million dollars. the seller had bought the bag on a government auction website three years ago for less than £1,000 dollars. than 1,000 dollars. it remained for years unidentified in a box at thejohnson space center in houston and was once nearly thrown away as rubbish. which you could understand, it looks like a used hoover bag, doesn't it? and that is what it was used for, dust particles! fantastic! last night, she claimed her third gold at the world para making hannah cockroft one of the most successful para—athletes of all time. you can see why she has been

nicknamed hurricanes and on. these are the highlights. the claim that fourth gold—medal! hannah cockcroft has only 80 metres left to make! hannah cockcroft, victorious once again. cockcroft coming away now to win gold medal number three. it makes you feel good. and we can speak to hannah cockroft now from the olympic park in london. that made me feel good, you must feel fantastic this morning? congratulations, how are you? very good, there are places i would

rather be right now, full of a cold, i would like to still be asleep. but pretty happy! i feel like that most mornings when i wake up, but the day is wonderful. and you cannot help but feel fabulous. you are full of a cold but you still broke records with your race is today. what drove you to do that with a cold? yesterday was really hard work. i lined up and ifelt like i had nothing to give to the race. i think you just coming you get yourself in a mindset where you just realise where you are and how honoured you are to put on the british vest. you work yourself up a bit. ijust knew i had one race left and i had to give it everything i had and that is what i went out and did and really happy thankfully it was enough! you have always made it clear you are a lwa ys have always made it clear you are always proud to put on that first, tea m always proud to put on that first, team gb. but as you were racing yesterday, you had two, will say

this in the most respectful way, youngsters behind you, chasing q. is that what drove you one, what were you thinking? when you spoke to our collea g u es you thinking? when you spoke to our colleagues is today, you are determined to win. yes, that's what drives me through every training session, every race of the season. they are two young girls who went around in london. and it shows how much the sport has moved on. they are my closest rivals right now. they are really close. it's the most i've ever been pushed, when competing. even though it looks like a massive gap once i am out there, i never had any idea what the girls are going to pull out. every race is a challenge. i've got to give it everything i've got to give, to wina give it everything i've got to give, to win a medal. this is what's only people find inspiring about you. i wa nt people find inspiring about you. i want you to listen to a clip from lightning lottie, who you have dealt with in the past. she sees you as an absolute inspiration. this is what

she had to say. hannah is an amazing person. i got into wheelchair racing after watching her race in the 2012 olympics. she's an inspiration to of us andl olympics. she's an inspiration to of us and i think more people like her should get into the sport. it's really good, and you get to meet incredible people. you know, you we re incredible people. you know, you were on the sofa just a couple of weeks ago. it was great to see you. you were talking about encouraging people to watch the power athletics championships, inspiring people like lottie. how important is that to you? it is massively important. that is how we are going to get our sport to grow. it's been fantastic being here, since only people that are interested and love para sport. to hear that from lottie is lovely. it's an important thing, it is not something i strive to do, i go to race for myself. but when you hear

that you have inspired just one person, it makes yourjob with it. lottie is a future champion, she will be the last one pulling on that vest. when that is down to you, it is quite an honour. i'm sure she appreciates your words of encouragement as well. you were talking about getting more people into the stadiums, do you think that will be reflected in the spectator numbers this time round? definitely, the spectator numbers have been fantastic. obviously some nights have been quite low, but it is hard ona have been quite low, but it is hard on a weeknight to get any sport full. it's just been amazing to go out there and have more than ten people that are mostly family watching you compete. only britain could do that. it's been the best world championships i've been to and i have loved every moment of it. how important is it that this is happening in london, in the uk? does

our attitude to para athletics differ to other countries? yes, london, it is massively different to anything we have had. the birthplace of the paralympic games, i feel like people in britain understand para sport better. even just getting out there, it's not just sport better. even just getting out there, it's notjust the british athletes that feel the increase in support, it is our rivals, competitors, every country loves coming here and competing because we know we will be treated as elite athletes, we will be treated equally and supported uncelebrated, the way that we want to be. will you give us a tip as to what top athletes, women like you at the top of your game, when you got a cold, what is the trick? hot honey rag lemon? —— hot honey and lemon? lots of sleep, i think. thankfully the doctors have been looking after me this week. yes, bed is what i really want!

snuggle up, enjoy it. you have thoroughly deserved it. we are so proud of your achievement and delighted you have taken the time to talk to us this morning. hope you feel better soon. if you haven't had the opportunity to look around buckingham palace gardens, a bit of a treat this morning. our cameras are there. just give us a setting of the scene, this is the lake in the gardens? yes, watching the docks, it is beautiful. behind me, you can see buckingham palace. the reason we are here is because the state rooms open up here is because the state rooms open upfor here is because the state rooms open up for the summer exhibition tomorrow. that is showing lots of gifts that the queen has been presented during her reign. there is also a room dedicated to diana, princess of wales. some of the items have been chosen by the duke of cambridge and also prince harry. in about 30 minutes, about 8.45, we

will take you on a tour around the rooms. we filmed it yesterday, it is not live, but there are unique gifts there. the weather is beautiful. you can see the sun beating down. but it is quite chilly and there is a noticeable breeze. in the west, a different story. the forecast for the west is wet and windy, especially across parts of wales and south—west england, where the rain will turn heavier through the day and we will have squally wind. showers in the west, from northern ireland to scotland, wales and the south—west. ahead of that, the cloud will build. for eastern and northern areas, a dry start, temperature picking up nicely in the sunshine. into the afternoon, we hang on to the sunshine across the north and east of scotland. rain coming in across the south—west. for north—west england, you could catch some showers, but north—east england

staying largely dry. the east coast of england, once again, some sunshine. across the midlands, through hampshire and into dorset, the isle of wight, the cloud will continue to build. you are not immune toa continue to build. you are not immune to a shower, particularly in the midlands. then back into the rain. it will be heavy any afternoon across southwest england and wales. moving away from cornwall and west wales, all around the rain we are going to have squally wind, notjust at the coast but inland as well. northern ireland, is rain continued to edge away, brightening up nicely with sunshine and showers. through this evening and overnight, what you will find is that the band of rain will find is that the band of rain will very slowly move northwards and eastwards. ahead of it it is going to bea eastwards. ahead of it it is going to be a dry night. i did, it will be dry. in the middle of the night, we start to see showers coming in across southwest england and wales. some of those will be heavy and thundery, with some small hail. that is how we will start the day

tomorrow. for many it is a day of sunshine and showers. as is the way with showers, not all of us will catch one. some of them will be slow—moving, with the odd rumble of thunder. you could see quite a lot of rain in a small amount of time. eastern england sorting of wet, that moving away, but we hang on to the rain across eastern scotland, particularly the north—east. into sunday, a finger of rain across parts of eastern scotland and also north—east england. that will tend to fragment as we go through the course of the day. for most of us, once again, a day of sunshine and showers. a drier day in the west, particularly across northern ireland. for the next few days, temperatures will be roughly where they should be at this stage in july. we were talking about the exhibition, one thing iforgot july. we were talking about the exhibition, one thing i forgot to mention is, of course, diana, princess of wales, had a great love of music and dance. we have a picture of her dancing with wayne sleep. you can see her actual ballet

shoes. that was a real treat to see. she used to keep them above the door of her sitting room. you can see more of that in the film at around 8.45. it was a lovely image, seeing them hanging up. each year, around 600 lions die at the hands of trophy hunters — the most notable, of course, cecil the lion in 2015 which sparked international outrage. two years on and it's emerged that one of cecil‘s cubs, xanda, has been killed in similar circumstances. it's prompted more questions over why the practice of trophy hunting continues. we can discuss this now with dr andrew loveridge, who fit xanda with an electronic tag just last year. very good morning to you, dr loveridge. could you just explain what happened to xanda? just take us through what happened. so, as you

have already said, we put tags on the animal. he is about six weeks old. i put that on last october. on july the 7th, he was hunted by a trophy hunter. it seems like it was com pletely trophy hunter. it seems like it was completely legal. of course, hunting is completely legal in many african countries. nonetheless, we are greatly saddened that this wonderful animal is now dead. we are seeing images of him now. just explain, is it known who actually fired the shot? as far as i am aware, nobody knows. maybe just the shot? as far as i am aware, nobody knows. maybejust the hunter himself, the professional hunter. but this was part of an organised group? yes, it is a completely legal hunting safari, completely sanctioned by the zimbabwean

government. i know because of cecil, what happened before, it was an american on that occasion who fired the shot, and it caused all sorts of problems when he went back to the states, many protests, people are still baffled as to why it is legal for somebody to go in and shoot a young, perfectly healthy lion like that? so, in africa and across much of africa, the way in which wildlife managers manage is partly through hunting. that is sort of the government policy. the government gets about 70% of its conservation revenue from hunting. so it is not something that is going to go away any time soon unless there is alternative revenue streams to support conservation. you seem quite pragmatic about it. yet again, there is an emotional aspect to this. people have seen pictures of xanda and it is a bit hard to countenance,

isn't it? yes, as a conservationist, iam isn't it? yes, as a conservationist, i am pragmatic. isn't it? yes, as a conservationist, iam pragmatic. as isn't it? yes, as a conservationist, i am pragmatic. as a personal level, i can't understand why someone can see that magnificent, beautiful animaland see that magnificent, beautiful animal and say, i've got to kill it. i don't understand that. but it is currently part of the way conservation happens in africa. it is the status quo. maybe it needs to change, but we can't change it right now while conservation is really quite dependent on the revenue that hunting generates. it is a rather curious twist, the reason we know that this happened is because the collar was handed in by one of those that witnessed what happened? like i said, this was a completely legitimate and, the trophy hunter had nothing to hide and he was well behaved and handed the collar back to the authorities. that is what should happen. thank you for your time. dr andrew lewer farage from oxford university. he was one of those that put the collar on the

lion that has now been shot in what isa lion that has now been shot in what is a completely legal shooting party. xanda, the son of cecil the lion. quay dizzee rascal is going to be on the sofa in about 30 minutes. until then, we will get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, today is not going to bea good morning, today is not going to be a greatjuly day with a deep area of low pressure from the west. heavy rain across northern ireland, wales, and the south—west of

england, accompanied by strong winds. gale force winds around western areas into the afternoon. mainly around coastal parts, but evenin mainly around coastal parts, but even in mind, strong winds. the rain could be incessant this afternoon across south—west england and wales. further east, dry with bright skies across eastern england towards scotland. reining in the isle of man. in the afternoon, the rain should clear from man. in the afternoon, the rain should clearfrom northern ireland, spreading into the far south—west of scotla nd spreading into the far south—west of scotland with sunshine in the far north west. temperatures in the sunshine up to 21,20 north west. temperatures in the sunshine up to 21, 20 four celsius. the wind and rain is swelling around the area of low pressure which makes it feel disappointingly cool. temperatures only 17, 18 degrees. into the weekend, this area of low pressure is still with us. will move very slowly east. still very strong winds towards the south—west of england during saturday. still

around the area of low pressure. that brings with it some showers. they could turn quite heavy and perhaps pondering across southern areas of england, wales and perhaps the south west midlands. dashed under ripa. elsewhere, sunny spells, and it could stay dry throughout saturday, temperatures into the low 20s. by sunday, the risk of showers across england and wales. view and further between. good sunny spells, more rain towards the east of scotland. temperatures were they should be for the time of year but feeling quite cool in the wind and rain. this is business live from bbc news with rachel horne and jamie robertson. the european boss of goldman sachs warns that the city of london needs a brexit transition deal as soon as possible. live from london, that's our top story on friday 21stjuly. theresa may moves to reassure

businesses, but the chief executive of goldman sachs international says that the uncertainty is costing the bank money. also in the programme: taking stock of trumponomics. markets have surged but, six months on, and the president is yet to deliver on growth, tax cuts or major reforms. how long will wall street's patience last?
