at a festival in spain. and live in passchendaele as europe prepares to remember the battle of passchendaele, one of the most costly ca m pa ig ns. in sport the rain can't dampen england's optimism as they chase victory in the third test against south africa — extending their lead yesterday before bad weather stopped play. and sarah has the weather. another unsettled date with sunshine and heavy downpours. police in australia say they've foiled an islamist—inspired plot to bring down an aircraft with an improvised device. the prime minister, malcolm turnbull, said the plot appeared to be "elaborate", rather than planned by a lone wolf. phil mercer reports.

investigators in australia say they had information about a plot to blow up an aircraft involving the use of an improvised device. four men have been detained following raids across sydney by heavily—armed police and members of australia's domestic spy agency. it is reported the operation was not planned, but a rapid response to a tip—off. the prime minister, malcolm turnbull, said the authorities have foiled what appears to be an elaborate conspiracy. i can report last night that there has been a majorjoint counterterrorism operation to disrupt a terrorist plot to bring down an aeroplane. the operation is continuing. a woman who said her son and husband were among those arrested in sydney has denied they had any links to extremism. but senior police commanders say the raids were part of an alleged islamic—inspired plot. additional security measures have been put in place at domestic and international airports around the country.

australia's national terror threat level remains at probable, which means the intelligence agencies believe that groups or individuals have the intent and capability to carry out an attack. since 2014, 70 people have been charged as a result of over 30 counterterrorism raids across the country. a record number of criminals have had their sentences increased under a scheme which allows members of the public to ask for them to be reviewed. last year 1m criminals in england and wales had their sentences increased. the government says it wants to extend the scheme to include a number of terror related charges.

aisling mcveigh reports. sarah stabbed a man to death in november 2014. she was convicted of manslaughter and given a 3.5—yearjail sentence. her neighbour, michael, was a convicted paedophile and sarah, a mother of five, claims she lost control, stabbing him 8 times. it was in january last year that the punishment was considered to be unduly lenient. judges at the court of appeal ruled that because she took a knife to his flat she must have intended to cause serious harm and her sentence was doubled to 7.5 years. 1m criminals have had their sentences increased in the last year, according to the attorney general‘s office. the unduly lenient scheme allows them to the public to query penalties for serious offences and more people are doing just that. increases are up i7% on the previous year. sex offences are the highest number of cases where sentences were increased and 14 sex offenders who had originally escaped prison are now serving time behind bars. from next month, the scheme will be widened to include an extra i9 terror—related offences. the attorney general says

in the fast number of cases, the judges do get it right. the number of sentences that are increased represent a tiny proportion of the 80,000 crown court cases heard every single year. donald trump has good inside china over its relations with north korea. his comments come after north korea carried out its second major missile test in a month. the us air force says two of its bomber planes have flown over the korean peninsular in response. more than 20,000 people have been evacuated from a music festival in spain after a huge fire engulfed part of the main stage. the fire broke out at the tomorrowland unite festival near barcelona, organisers say it was caused by a technical malfunction. no injuries have been reported. tim allman reports.

this was not the sort of spectacle that thousands who had come here had been expecting. this stage at this dance music festival in barcelona lit up by a giant fire. initially some took photos, perhaps they thought it was part of the show. but if these were pyrotechnics, they appeared to have gone badly wrong. very soon, the audience was cleared. thousands quickly moved to safety. there are no reports that anyone was injured. people ran towards the exit. there was no panic but many people were inside the festival at this hour. the firefighters took 30 minutes or so to put the fire out and the police also took time to get all the people off the stage. tomorrowland unite is a multi—venue festival held in eight different countries including spain. the location there was barcelona, the concert taking place in can zam park in the north of the city. an unfortunate end to what should

have been a great night. but with no apparent death or injury, things could have been so much worse. cabinet divisions over brexit have surfaced again. related to migration. emma this time there's been a differences of opinion opinion over migration? all that talk about getting back control of the borders. freedom of movement rules such a key aspect of the brexit campaign, ending the ability for european citizens to come and live in britain in unlimited numbers. it seems less clear now as to whether freedom of movement can be ended immediately when brexit happens in march 2019 whether in reality it will not be

possible straightaway. philip hammond the chancellor says it will be some time before we are able to introduce full migration controls between the uk and the eu, suggesting there could be up to three years after brexit where things remain much the same. but in an interview with the sunday times liam fox, the international trade secretary, showed his opinion to be different. he said, hang on a second, if freedom of movement remains after brexit, that would not keep faith with the referendum. if eu rules change it is not delivering what people voted for. he told the sunday times he has not been party to any discussions about an arrangement which keeps immigration rules the same or similar to now. it seems we are seeing cabinet ministers contradicting each other on this. there is broad agreement

that some sort of transitional arrangements will be needed but divisions over what this will look like and how it will make brexit look to voters. for now, thank you. the scottish government has called for scotch to be defined in uk law in order to protect whisky exports after brexit. holyrood is concerned that any future trade deal with the united states might allow american firms to brand their whiskies as scotch. supports 20,000 jobs and is worth £4 billion in scotland, the industry. honolulu has become the first major us city to ban pedestrians from looking at their mobile phone, texting or using digital devices while crossing the road. the measure, which will take effect in hawaii's largest city in october,

is aimed at reducing injuries and deaths from "distracted walking". fines start at £11 and go up to £75 for repeat offenders. urgent calls to the emergency services are exempt from the ban. that idea of whether it should be walking down the pavement, people getting in touch. charles says he uses a wheelchair and can't tell you how many times people have walked in sydney, lay on top of the, because of using their phones. —— what into me. “— of using their phones. —— what into me. —— walked into me. especially with benches, all the hazards. don't do it. later today the belgian city of ypres will pause to remember one of the most costly campaigns

of the first world war. by the close of the three month battle, half a million men were dead, injured, or missing, in the mud of no mans land. and a century later, it is still yielding deadly reminders of the fighting. robert hall is there for us. what an impressive location. where are you? this is the gate that sits across the road from where the men would have marched up from what was then passchendaele to the trenches which are happening mile from where iam standing. which are happening mile from where i am standing. 0ne which are happening mile from where i am standing. one of the things that strikes you most when you come to the battlefield, the number of the missing. thousands of men whose remains were never found could the missing. thousands of men whose remains were neverfound could never be identified. more than 511,000 of them carved here into the walls of

them carved here into the walls of the gate. but constant reminders all around here of what took place during the war. commemorating it over the next couple of days but in the farmland north of year, they experienced the i am harvest, anywhere in the grounds which contains the debris, some deadly. —— im harvest this is a corner of europe where first world war shells explode every working day. the belgian bomb disposal teams, based in a village, deal with at least 200 tonnes of it unexploded

munitions. after 100 years, you might think the ireland harvest would be reducing. it is not true. —— iron harvest. 0ne would be reducing. it is not true. —— iron harvest. one in three failed to explode, leaving 100 million still in the ground. if you miles away and another call. a farmer has left several unidentified shells for the squad to collect. 11.5 inches. and another. the event of the fuses, high explosive. 0ne and another. the event of the fuses, high explosive. one third of the munitions that the team uncovered contain chemicals such as mustard gas. the firstjob, to clean them up and not always gently to get a rough idea of how dangerous they might be.

we will look for characteristics and exterior markings. doing that with a copper brush or a hammer. that sounds old —fashioned but copper brush or a hammer. that sounds old—fashioned but it is a lot safer than using a sound blaster or high—pressure water. safer than using a sound blaster or high-pressure water. the next step is an x—ray. high-pressure water. the next step is an x-ray. this is the chemical stuff. around this expose of. waiting for the generator. even after 100 years, lives are at risk here. the chemical shells are eventually destroyed in a sealed chamber. conventional explosives follow a separate path. shells, bombs, grenades and bullets force to the service of local farmland by frost action and ploughing. which

exposes, how many in this one crate? 50 kilos, every crate. more than 50 kilos, even deeply buried, would risk of damage to buildings and so this meticulous operation rolls on. a legacy of a distant war that will provide these lethal reminders well into another century. today and tomorrow, the duke and duchess of cambridge will come here. to hear the last post. sounded by firemen. virtually uninterrupted it has been done since the 1920s. then a procession down the road to lord's the central square of ypres. you

might be able to see the tower which was rebuilt along with the rest of the city after the war. an event there will contain music, the words of those who fought in the war and poetry which will attempt to bring that story to life. they do not have witnesses any more but at least the people watching will get a sense of what i'm folded a century ago. tomorrow, a more formal ceremony just outside the village of passchendaele. follow the events on bbc two. the programme will be called world war i remembered at 7pm. it's 8:17 and you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning... counter—terrorism police in australia say they've stopped a suspected plot to bring down an aircraft with an "improvised explosive device". a record number of criminals

in england and wales have had their sentences increased after people complained that they were too lenient. 6000 scouts are gathering at a jamboree in kent. spare a thought. putting their weather proofing skills to the test. a lot of people camping over the next week or so. the weather looking uncertain. not a com plete the weather looking uncertain. not a complete wash—out. some sunshine. to start the day. it will turn showery later on, the speckled cloud towards the west bringing showers. the persistent rain overnight clearing two was the ease but standing water in the south and east. scotland and

fiona trott has been along to durham cathedral to get up close to some priceless relics of st cuthbert which the cathedral hopes will help it to attract more visitors. 0ne one of england's most treasured landmarks. now, some of its own treasures put on permanent display. the sanctuary knocker was the bass port for criminals or those fleeing justice to get an extension on their sentences. they could claim century for 37 days. personally, this is the jewel of the exhibition. this cross, saint cuthbert, probably watch it as a bishop's cross. over 700,000 people visit durham cathedral but entry is free every year. running

costs are high. the deficit is around 500,000 a year. we are trying to turn the ship and turn it into financial sustainability. the tower renovation alone costs £5 million. at guildford cathedral repair costs have been so high that at one point the bishop warned it may have to close its doors. at peterborough, redundancies and a new dean trying to pay off its debts after being appointed. a special working group has been set up to manage all the cathedrals. it is important for the p cathedrals. it is important for the upkeep is an admission charge has to be put here. i would not complain. something that has to be done to keep the place they way it is. i would be happy to pay odyssey and exhibition, or even get inside and

help pay for something. £10 sounds fairto me. help pay for something. £10 sounds fair to me. it is important to preserve the history of the country and heritage. worshippers, to the cathedrals has declined in recent yea rs. cathedrals has declined in recent years. making the most of their religious past may be the key to preserving their future. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's 8:22. time now for a look at the newspapers. historian tessa dunlop is here to tell us what's caught her eye. we looked at the fallout of brexit with the labour party. coming in and a p pa re ntly with the labour party. coming in and apparently about to attackjeremy corbyn at the conference. the sunday times. on the front page, a little

amendment to yesterday's news. philip hammond quite miraculously with theresa may in italy, with borisjohnson with theresa may in italy, with boris johnson tactically with theresa may in italy, with borisjohnson tactically in australia. liam fox in america. managed to convince everyone including liam fox we would have a three—year wait and see period until 2022. not so, apparently. liam fox says that would not work. clearly not consented in the cabinet as was reported yesterday. given what is going on in the white house at the moment. repeal bill is in tatters. revolving door manically swinging. liam fox fizzing with excitement and gushing with his process to find those guys in america. you would not normally associate those words with a politician. neither a glass

half—full half empty man. whether it is fizzing or not. i am scottish, the glass can never be big enough. michael gove and liam fox arch brexit campaigners. he is delighted, forget chlorinated chickens. he does add, they understand that at the moment we are only able to talk about what it is we want to talk about. basically sums up brexit so far. france. macron bringing in a new way of working. but the hello continuing to fake? i consider him the sun king. accurately, likening

him to tony blair, who founded the centre is to wait 20 years ago. —— centrist way. tony blair was a dad figure, hanging out with laces and the spice girls. talking about world education, and the war on poverty, the pop stars. none of this able to maintain macron's domestic momentum. the needs to strip away the elephantine the needs to strip away the elepha ntine labour laws, addressing spending on the military, as he sees it. a huge job. no legacy of political structure to support him? and a heritage of resistance. tony

blair won three elections, macron is on his first. retirement age is pushed up. nurses still working at the age of 70. for you and me, i think i exclude ben, but we discovered we will work till 68, 70 isa discovered we will work till 68, 70 is a new high. here, the here and now, short of nurses and midwives. 11,000 vacancies. the royal college of nursing says nearer 40,000. a conundrum, the immigration debate and on the other hand people living longer. research out in 2011, and one third of girls born in 2011 living to 100 expectedly. what would you do with your old age, more if we

are pensioned off. arguably, kept to work. that is fine if you want to work. that is fine if you want to work. you do not want to be nursed by somebody who is entitled to be at home. i balance between dealing with old age, staying relevant is important. but you have to want to do the work because no one wants to be nursed by a reluctance nurse. i was in hospital last year and i had two of the most amazing nurses and they were not in the first flush of youth. and the invaders and one can gather over decades is great. but it cannot be forced upon people. no one wa nts to cannot be forced upon people. no one wants to be reached by a reluctant teacher, all professions. the secret is porridge. i am working with six women. they are fed up at over 100

why they live so long. i do not think it is entirely fluke. six children originally, now 13. —— 16 now 13. they are in the guinness book of records. they are from cou nty book of records. they are from county armagh. healthy food, home—grown, they say. locally sourced, picked vegetables? twice a day. porridge at night. can you imagine 16 bozo porridge, goldilocks ona imagine 16 bozo porridge, goldilocks on a whole new front? the woman i work with say it is a fluke. a grandfather living till 95 in the 18005. grandfather living till 95 in the 1800s. you might land it, you might not, a floating gene. but you have to do remain healthy. not only is

porridge is super food... to do remain healthy. not only is porridge is superfood... no glasses of wine on that menu. there are ways of wine on that menu. there are ways of staying alive, sensible ways, but also a bit of luck. coming up in the next half hour... we'll be looking back at one of the greatest nights in british sporting history. super saturday in 2012 at the london olympics. we will be talking to some of the stars. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and rachel burden. coming up before 9am, sarah will be here with the weather. but first at 8.30am, a summary of this morning's main news: police in australia say they've foiled an islamist—inspired plot to bring down an aircraft

with an improvised device. the prime minister, malcolm turnbull, said the plot appeared to be "elaborate", rather than planned by a lone wolf. ican i can report last night that there has been a majorjoint counterterrorism operation to disrupt a terrorist plot to bring down an aeroplane. the operation is continuing. at this stage, four people have been arrested. and a considerable amount of material has been seized by police. a record number of criminals have had their sentences increased under a scheme which allows members of the public to ask for them to be reviewed. last year 141 criminals in england and wales had their sentences increased. the government says it wants to extend the scheme to include a number of terror related charges. the attorney general says that in most casesjudges get sentencing right. cases that were heard by the crown

court last year were about 70 7000. of that, as you say, about 140 were ending up with higher sentences as a result of our intervention under the unduly leniency scheme. as a small minority, judges generally get this right but when they do get it wrong on mistakes are made, and it is possible forjudges to make mistakes, when they make mistakes and important there is a mechanism to correct those mistakes and that's what this scheme does. more than 20,000 people were evacuated from a music festival in spain last night — after a huge fire engulfed part of the main stage. the fire broke out at the tomorrowland unite festival near barcelona, organisers say it was caused by a technical malfunction. no injuries have been reported. donald trump has again criticised china over its relations with north korea. on twitter he accused china of making hundreds of billions of dollars from trade but doing nothing to tackle north

korea's nuclear threat. his comments come after north korea carried out its second major missile test in a month. the us air force says two of its bomber planes have flown over the korean peninsula in response. events to mark the 100th anniversary of the battle of passchendaele — one of the bloodiest of the first world war get under way later today. half a million allied and german soldiers were killed, wounded or went missing during the campaign. the duke and duchess of cambridge will be among those attending the commemorations over the next two days. honolulu has become the first major us city to ban pedestrians from looking at their mobile phone, texting or using digital devices while crossing the road. the measure, which will take effect in hawaii's largest city in october, is aimed at reducing injuries and deaths from "distracted walking". fines start at 11 pounds and go up to 75 pounds for repeat offenders. urgent calls to the emergency services are exempt from the ban. and it's only when you are crossing

the road, not walking down the pavement of the supermarket. lots of people getting in touch about this this morning. i have seen many people texting while riding their bikes, one person says. i'm sure many agree it should be banned, the same way as drivers and vehicles do. it's right, it's whether it should be on pavements as well as crossing the road. it's equally dangerous. not as many cars on the pavements but there are lots of obstacles, shall we say? humans! we need text lanes. let's get some sport now. massive game for england's women. massive game for england's womenlj can't wait for this this evening. england against france, they have not beaten them for 40 years.

massive game. the time has come. they have got to be. and the company manager. yes, his approach says they can beat france even if they don't play their best. do you think that will bring out the best in england or do you think the girls will turn up or do you think the girls will turn up and be like well...? it's a really interesting approach. isn't there one message for the media. what he was saying to the group is com pletely what he was saying to the group is completely different, presumably they don't pay that much attention. they may not have seen the headlines, they probably one impressed... you mean they are watching mess? almost certainly not! lets chat to our correspondent. what have you made of these comments by the manager mark samson, saying their cricketing team do not have to be at their best to beat france is that just mind games?” be at their best to beat france is thatjust mind games? i think is a bit of that bet he is incredibly confident. he has been very bullish on the build—up to this. early in

the week he said the french coach was wet behind the ears than against a tournament bubble. then yesterday ina a tournament bubble. then yesterday in a press conference he said that comment you were referring to, the england do not need to be at their best but if they are, they would win comfortably. it's a confidence i have not really heard from an england camp, and in some ways it can understand why they have such belief in themselves. they have really stormed through the group. they have won three out of three, they have scored ten goals. they have been on a real role and mark samson had the luxury of resting ten of his starting 11 in the final group game against portugal. i do think we will see changes though for this france game, this blockbuster quarterfinal that isjust this france game, this blockbuster quarterfinal that is just around the corner. i think we'll see a starting 11 more similar to what we saw in the first two games, which almost certainly means a return to the line—up for judy taylor, certainly means a return to the line—up forjudy taylor, the striker who has already scored four goals so far in this tournament, on course for the golden boot. she is 31 years of age and success as an england level has come relatively late in hercareer

level has come relatively late in her career but she really is on fire at the moment. i'm sure we will see her play this evening. even the england do have this spring in their step, ithink england do have this spring in their step, i think any top playable tally that the game, the tournament is not one in the group stages. this game against france will just one in the group stages. this game against france willjust be another step up entirely. that's because france have history on their side. it wouldn't have not beaten them in over 40 yea rs. it wouldn't have not beaten them in over 40 years. what are the chances? that record is incredible. england have not beaten france since 1974. have not beaten france since1974. they have lost to them in the past three major finals, sorry, they have lost to them in the past three majorfinals, sorry, major tournaments. they also lost recently tournaments. they also lost recently to france with a late goal. france have history and experience on their side. they have ten champions league winners in that team. they have great 4—mac club level, but they have not really replicated that so far at this tournament. they struggled a bit, only scraping through with a late goal against switzerland. so there is a bit of a

feeling that maybe france are here for the taking. they will be missing theircaptain as for the taking. they will be missing their captain as well, wendy renard. widely regarded as one of the best defenders in wild captain. that is a bit of a blow. the sense i get from the french camp is that they are confident. they have not been that bothered by the comments from mark samson. the good news here is it looks like we're going to get better weather in deve nter, looks like we're going to get better weather in deventer, and perhaps that germany quarterfinal yesterday that germany quarterfinal yesterday that was postponed. that one has to be played today as well because of the terrible rain. katie in the sunshine in deventer. thank you for that. we will be looking forward to that. we will be looking forward to that quarterfinal of the euro is a bit later on today. england's cricketers will start day four of the third test against south africa in a strong position, despite rain wiping out most of the afternoon's play at the oval yesterday. debuta nt bowler toby roland—jones took his fifth south african wicket in the morning session as the tourists were dismissed for just 175. as expected the weather took a turn for the worse after lunch, and in that time alistair cook became the only home wicket to fall. the day's play was abandoned because of rain — england will start this morning on 74 for one, a lead of 252 runs.

if we can get up towards the 400, in reasonable time, then we will probably be happy with that. i would hope we could bowl them out in the session, in a day, we have some big hitters to come in towards the back end that can speed up the run rate. that would be the way we would be looking to go about it i would imagine. sebastian vettel will be confident of increasing his formula one drivers‘ championship lead over lewis hamilton after claiming pole for today's hungarian grand prix. the german broke the track record as he secured only his second pole of the season. ferrari team mate kimi raikkonen will line up alongside him. hamilton struggled with the balance of his mercedes and will start from fourth. i like this track a lot. the car in

the right window, the sunshine, people around, that's what it is all about. it was big fun, front row farce which is incredible. —— front row for us. ben proud has won a bronze at the swimming world championships in budapest. proud came third in the 50 metre freestyle final with caeleb dressel from the usa winning gold. it's proud's second medal of the championships, after winning gold in the 50 metre butterfly. 50 freestyle really is the events to be winning a medal in, so that was such a fast race. really happy to get my hand on the warp verse, or third. between me and fifth i think was almost nothing. britain's james guy won bronze in the 100 metre butterfly, he was tied in third with joseph schooling. caeleb dressel from the usa also won that final. jonny brownlee's hopes of becoming world triathlon champion look to be over after he finished fourth in edmonton, canada overnight. the 2012 champion missed the last leg of the championship

in hamburg through illness. he is well down the points list after only completing four races this year. spain's defending champion mario mola won the race & is on course to successfully defend the title once again. challenge cup holders hull fc are into another wembley final, after running in seven tries against leeds rhinos. after an even first 40 minutes, hull ran away with it in the second half. jamie shaul scored the pick of the tries, a 75 yard sprint. mark snead also kicked 15 points. hull will meet the winner of today's semifinal between wigan and salford. it's obviously what we have spoken about all season, making sure we defend the trophy as hard as we can, and we did that today. it's been quite a week for you, you got married a few days now you are in the challenge cup final.

married a few days now you are in the challenge cup finallj married a few days now you are in the challenge cup final. i can't decide which saturday was best, this one last. i am over the moon, a fantastic achievement by some fantastic achievement by some fantastic players. after going on a crash diet of water and white fish to get down to the necessary weight to ride the horse ‘enable', frankie dettori won the prestigious king george vi and queen elizabeth stakes at ascot. he'd already ridden the three—year—old filly to win the oaks and the irish oaks, and the effort of getting down to eight stone seven was all worth it... the 5—4 shot, trained by john gosden, cruised to victory... and finally let's go back to the womens euros where they'll be one extra quarterfinal today after germany's clash with denmark was postponed after torrential rain in rotterdamn. shall we have one last look at the ground staff falling over? it does not get old. maybe we should get in slow motion. we were talking about that one extra quarterfinal because germany versus denmark was postponed because of the heavy rain in rotterdam. have a look at this. the dug—out‘s were flooded. and the pitch, well that certainly wasn't in any condition to play on — as one of the ground

staff found out. hurray! i think it's a girl. yes, it isa girl. hurray! i think it's a girl. yes, it is a girl. that is steffi jones. a german world cup winner there, who helps to her feet. german world cup winner there, who helps to herfeet. she german world cup winner there, who helps to her feet. she collapses. not only fallen over in front of a huge crowd in the middle of the pitch but in front of one of the most women's players. why don't they use one of those big squeegees to get the water off the pitch? that squeegees to get the water off the p|tch? that guy squeegees to get the water off the pitch? that guy with the bucket... they did decide to postpone the game. if they had gone ahead it would have been going until midnight and beyond. so it is happening today, germany versus denmark in the quarterfinal. that's all over now. when iraq's prime minister waved his country's flag in mosul and declared victory over so—called islamic state he brought to an end a huge, nine—month military campaign. however three weeks later one

of the first british aid workers to visit the city has described the "utter devastation" that remains. charlie has been talking to madiha raza from muslim aid, but first let's take a look at some of what she saw. we are in mosul. this area was liberated a few weeks ago. it's still not completely secure, that's why we have these jackets on. it's completely obliterated. that used to be a church over there. if you can see closer, there are some bullet marks on the exterior. there are bullet marks on all the buildings in this area. we are in the school in mosul. i have no words to describe what i'm feeling at the moment, what we are seeing here is utter, total devastation. the entire school has been obliterated. this is not actually a clear area. there is still bodies under the rubble here. they have not cleared it yet.

look at this. tell us a little bit about that moment in time. you are holding up a toy giraffe. in amongst that scene of devastation. i was actually in a school at that point. that had been completely obliterated. by a bomb. and in amongst the rubble which had not actually been cleared of bodies, we found little artefacts, the shoe i have bought back with me, cuddly toys, backpacks. real reminders of what stood there, little children running around. that had been devastated by this war. just hold this up while you talk. this is... i mean. this is one of the little items you found. a little girl's shoe, isn't it? yeah. even though it has been removed from that scene and situation, it still bears all the signs of war and devastation. it is dusty, and for me it is a real

reminder of what has happened. the real humanitarian need that is still there. i would imagine, as you have worked in the aid sector for some time, but what were your reflections when you first arrived and saw the scale of what had happened there? it was just catastrophic. it was nothing like i've ever seen. the entire city has been completely obliterated. but i was speaking to a lot of people from our evacuation team at muslim aid, and the stories they had to tell, the things they have seen. it really is devastating. it's something that will take a long time to rebuild. and rehabilitate. but hopefully, muslim aid will be there in some capacity to actually help. i suppose interesting, when you hold up little items, you are holding up the giraffe. you can see the shot behind you, that's you actually picking up that shoe. lots of people think the same thing, where are those people now? yeah. where have they all gone? well, it's quite morbid but a lot of them are actually under the rubble. that school had not been cleared.

a lot of people had moved to neighbouring towns, a lot of people have been moved to camps. a lot of them had been evacuated by muslim aid from the front lines, when they were under occupation. then they moved to camps after being given medical attention and some aid. people have been, about1 million people have been displaced within mosul itself. and 60% of the homes have been destroyed, so it really is a catastrophic situation. people already talk about the rebuilding of the city, whether in terms of the structure itself, or in terms of people coming back there. how do you see that progressing? actually the people are very resilient. obviously they are moving back into towns that have been completely obliterated, so they are moving back to homes that are just under rubble, basically. but in terms of how long the process will take, i think people predict around 15 to 20 years. but we will have to come together to help with that rehabilitation process.

it's great to hear the uk government have allocated £40 million to help with that process. clearly the most important thing in these situations are the people who have gone there to help. but nonetheless, people are always curious about aid workers, about the impact it has on you. it's hard to handle, some of the things, some of the stories you are saying, some of the things you hear. some of the things you see. it does have an impact. yes. it was very harrowing. things that these people had been true. but for me, the consolation was that muslim aid, my colleagues are out there on the ground, trying to help, trying to move forward. that was something for me to be very proud of. it did make me reflect on my reality and how lucky i am. that was charlie talking to a volunteer from muslim aid about the situation in mosul. some breaking news coming in here at breakfast, reports from germany that there has been at least one person killed,

several seriously injured at an incident in a nightclub in the southern german city of constanza, on the border with switzerland. different reports at the moment but that's where it is, right down in the southern part of germany. reuters is reporting that german police say the suspected shooter was seriously injured in a gunfight with police, and the motive of the shooting is still unclear. obviously we will keep an eye on things and bring you more details as we get them. full details here at 9am and on the bbc news channel. we're talking about mixed weather this morning, lots of people dodging showers. that is right. brollies one minute and sunshine the next. here is one photo taken by one of our weather watchers out walking their dog, so do make the most of the sunshine when you see it. lots of speckled

cloud around, particularly in the north and west. that will be drifting eastwards, bringing no showers to many parts of the country. let's look around the place, at 10am. scotland and northern ireland, plenty of showers. a bit of brightness between the showers but we will also see showers continuing across parts of northern england as well. heading south, scattered showers developing in the west over the next few hours. but through the midlands and eastern, south—eastern england, you should stay relatively dry and break through the next few hours. showers developing later. as the third test continues at the oval today, it should be dry for much of the day but through the afternoon, building amounts of cloud could bring one or two passing showers. showers in the north and west are likely to bring thunderstorms at times, 0rd thunder and lightning, some hail mixed into. showers drifting east. east anglia and the south—east avoiding most of them. 17 to 22 degrees, so feeling

pleasa nt them. 17 to 22 degrees, so feeling pleasant in between the showers but still quite blustery and rather cool particularly in the west. the showers easing away this evening and overnight but continuing for scotla nd overnight but continuing for scotland and northern ireland. overnight temperatures falling to around 12 to 14 degrees. monday, still low—pressure anchored towards the north—west, it has been there for several days. it is a slow—moving area of low pressure. the great changes to the day tomorrow, sunshine and showers. it looks like the showers will be more confined to the western half of the uk tomorrow. few are reaching the south and south—east. could be a degree or so warm, around 17 to 22 degrees. not a complete write—off, some warm weather between showers. tuesday again, sunshine and showers. not until wednesday we see the next area of low pressure bringing more persistent rain in from the west and strengthening winds as well. u nsettled strengthening winds as well. unsettled over the next few days, but there will be some sunshine in between the showers. back to rachel and ben. thank you sarah. a real changeable

beast in store whatever you are up to this sunday. do you remember around five years ago when we were building up to the olympics? lord sebastian coe said it was the "greatest day of sport" he'd ever seen and for millions of us the 4th of august 2012 was more than a bit special. it was already going well for team gb with two rowing golds and another in the cycling. then, a sublime 45 minutes from a trio of athletes turned that day of the london olympics into super saturday. it's the focus of a new documentary on bbc one tonight, before we talk about that here's a reminder of how jess, mo and greg struck gold that evening. the staging was incredible, the birds, all the fans, british flags.

as soon as you mention that moment you might get goose bumps again. 75,000 people packed, i remember thinking on my god, this is like going to a football match. like an fa cup final. it was just like nothing i had ever experienced. knowing that everybody in their wanted you to do well. and was excited about the prospect of you doing well, they had no idea who i was when i walked in, theyjust saw a britishjersey. former olympian, iwan thomas, was there on super saturday — hejoins us now. such happy memories. it was almost like, good morning by the way! it was almost like living in another world, that olympics week. was almost like living in another world, that olympics weekm was almost like living in another world, that olympics week. it was. the crowd, the volunteers, roll onto that saturday and honestly i get goose bumps thinking about it, just to be inside that stadium. forget as an athlete, as a span of sport. i'd never seen anything like and i've

been to some big football matches. the athletes to get that kind of reception was unbelievable. it was awesome, will never forget. as we said in the intro, we had been doing well and it really was the icing on the cake. it was that defining moment when everyone thought, we can do this. not only is it in our home capital, in london, but we were doing well. we were, but track and field athletics is one of those sports where you are lucky to get one of the olympic champion. we expected jessica to get the gold, didn't we? so much pressure but that one was almost nailed on. she still had to perform. for me, out of all champions, the person who with all due respect life must have changed the most was great, because everyone knew mo farrah and jessica ennis, u nless knew mo farrah and jessica ennis, unless you are a sports fan and greg rutherford was not that well known. here he is, that might forever changed him. when he won i gave him a hug and said your life has changed

forever. what ever you do from now on, you are an olympic champion. the realisation hit him. he knew he could get a medal but i doubt even greg or he would definitely win.|j remember i was fortunate enough to be there for five live, and that event happened on the opposite side of the stadium to us and almost happened without you noticing, then suddenly this gold medal came out of nowhere and you could see rutherford celebrating, and the joy... nowhere and you could see rutherford celebrating, and thejoy... i think he responded almost like we would respond, if we won a gold medal!|j respond, if we won a gold medal!” remember speaking to respond, if we won a gold medal!” rememberspeaking to him respond, if we won a gold medal!” remember speaking to him the next day. he was so still buzzing about how it had all gone. do you think it is the best day in british sport ever? we all talk about england winning the world cup may be, but this was britain coming together, wasn't it? i might be biased because of former athlete but for me, it was just, everything came together at the right time. the atmosphere was

brilliant. if that had been a different olympics, if that had been we 0mi not have been as great because it was in london, we had three athletes becoming champions, and someone might mo farrah who was from london. another athlete had had so much pressure on him. i know this sounds silly but everyone tries to beat mo farrah, all the kenyans will run all trying to disrupt its race plan. for him to come away with two golds, it's so special. clearly so much preparation went into that day. you know this all too well. let's listen to mo farrah because he's talking about all the sacrifice he had to put in to get to that day. on average spend six months of the year away from my family, not able to see them in terms of racing, training camps, which is difficult. if you wa nt to camps, which is difficult. if you want to be a champion, if i want to stay on top, that's what it takes to be able to compete with these guys. we all make sacrifices. that's what you do in a family. we are honest about it, he would not be able to run and do what he does without me

taking care of things. and keeping strong, keeping things. that is obviously five years ago now. we have the world athletics championships round the corner, so we are about to see top—level athletics on the track again at that london stadium. people will be able to go down and enjoy. do you think you'll ever see anything like that again in the next couple of weeks is that one one off? british athletics? i hope it's not a one—off. we have some talented youngsters coming through but it will be hard to top that super saturday. it will be mo farrah‘s last championship on the track, usain bolt is retiring afterwards. they will be special, but if they can top that super saturday, who knows? we have got some fantastic athletes to look out for. laura muir, coming through really well. she's doing the 1500 and the five k at the world champs. that is an athlete who has not really had the opportunity to step up really had the opportunity to step up on the wild level at championships. this is her chance.

to really become the next greg rutherford. many people may not have heard of her, but if she gets a medal in london, all of a sudden evenif medal in london, all of a sudden even if she wins, she will really put herself on the map. she is a fantastic athlete to look out for. gina asher smith, a carrier at 2012, one of the young girls behind the block. now she is one of the best sprinters in britain. she has had some injuries but she will run the 200 metres in london, another athlete who if she gets it right on the day and does not spend too much energy, she could realistically get a medal. we have loads of fantastic athletes, in my opinion, it would pay me to say by still hold the british record, and i think it will go. matt hudson smith in my own events, go. matt hudson smith in my own eve nts, 40 0 go. matt hudson smith in my own events, 400 metres, super—talented. mixed emotions! i would like to see it. "the heroes of super saturday: jess, mo and greg" is on bbc one tonight at 10.30pm. that's it from us for today, charlie and naga will be here tomorrow morning
