details and also claimed there was evidence that he discussed how to split the profits with an accomplice. his lawyer says he denies all the charges against him. how is he doing? he is holding up and in good spirits. the family i think support and the friends support and his co—workers and the community have been tremendously supportive for him. indeed, many fellow cyber security experts regard marcus hutchins as a hero. in an attack which caused chaos for the nhs and spread to 150 countries around the world. the fbi moved in at the airport as he was about to fly home to the uk. he is due in court in wisconsin on tuesday. until then thejudge here court in wisconsin on tuesday. until then the judge here ordered court in wisconsin on tuesday. until then thejudge here ordered his release on bail, subject to conditions which include surrendering his passport and gps monitoring. marcus hutchins appeared in court in las vegas right at the end of the working week. his lawyers had just a few minutes to scramble together his bail money, but by the time they had done so the courts had

closed, which means we will have to spend the weekend in jail. the united states has officially informed the united nations that it's withdrawing from the paris climate agreement. injune, president donald trump drew international condemnation when he announced the decision to leave the agreement. it had been drawn up by nearly 200 nations to curb greenhouse gas emissions in 2015. the state department says the us will continue to participate in climate change meetings until the withdrawal process is completed. the irish prime minister continues his first official visit to northern ireland today. he will attend a private event a little later. —— pride in bed. yesterday he suggested the bilateral customs union could be the bilateral customs union could be the best way to deal with northern ireland's order with a republic and described brexit as the challenge of this generation. after record breaking temperatures across europe this week, scientists are warning that the number of people killed by extreme weather conditions could increase 50—fold by the end of this century.

a study in the lancet planetary health journal suggests that heatwaves alone could account for 100,000 deaths a year. researchers in italy say urgent action is needed to curb the effects of climate change. an oxford university employee, who's been on the run on suspicion of murder, has been arrested with his alleged accomplice. andrew warren and professor wyndham lathem of northwestern university are accused of stabbing a 26—year—old man to death in chicago last week. both men were detained in oakland in california. people closely connected to the video sharing site youtube have told the bbc that the company's child protection measures are failing. they say the site has a huge backlog of reports about potential grooming and accounts which exploit children. they also claim members of the public who flag up material are unlikely to hear back from the company. youtube, which is owned by google, said it strictly prohibits content that sexually exploits minors.

bbc trending's mike wendling reports. youtube is used by more than 1.5 billion people around the world each month and it's a favourite of kids and teens. one of the measures keeping them safe is a group of volunteers called trusted flaggers. they scour the site looking for material which breaks youtube's rules, but bloggers from inside the programme had told the bbc the site has a huge backlog of complaints. the complaints are not about child pornography, but rather sexually explicit comments left on videos posted by teenagers and children. 0ne volunteer told the bbc he made more than 9,000 reports over eight months ago and none of them have been protests. they also claim that members of the public who report material are unlikely to get a response.

youtube, owned by google, said in a statement that it strictly prohibits content which sexually exploits miners. the whistleblowers say that youtube needs to devote increased money and staff to child safety. millions of rail passengers are facing up to three weeks of disruption as work to update the uk's busiest train station gets an £800 million revamp will close ten platforms at london waterloo station to prepare for longer trains and create extra space for passengers. the work is due to be finished at the end of august. now, we've all been there, probably. happily driving along a road, minding our own business, when a cat or even a fox darts out in front of the car. but imagine having to swerve to avoid this. damn. look at the size of thing. it's a rhino, i know! this is the scene that confronted motorists in the indian state

of assam, when a rhinoceros strayed onto a road and started charging oncoming cars. some fairly nifty reversing going on by that vehicle. the region is home to 70% of the world's greater one—horned rhinos. luckily, for both rhino and motorists, this one eventually headed off into a nearby field. it's a rhino. yes, i know it's a rhino. well spotted! the irish prime minister will take part in belfast city's pride festival today. he's has already made waves on his first visit to northern ireland with his comments on brexit yesterday. gay marriage is still not legal in northern ireland and the relatively new taoiseach will be making a political point with his support for the festival. aisling mcveigh explains more about his background. at 30 years old, leo varadkar is

island's youngest ever prime minister. that's not the only thing about him. he is half indian and openly gay, the embodiment of the liberalisation of a country that was once regarded the most socially conservative in europe. he came to power in june with conservative in europe. he came to power injune with the biggest party in the country's ruling coalition. just ten years after he was first elected to the irish parliament. before that he trained as a doctor, at his medical career gave way to his political one. he has previously mean “— his political one. he has previously mean —— been a ministerfor transport, tourism and sport and then health minister and more recently in the welfare system —— ran the welfare system. now he faces what many have described as the biggest challenge the irish state has had, the departure of the united kingdom from the eu. we're joined now by dr kathryn simpson, a politics lecturer at manchester metropolitan university. she is in the studio. good morning. thank you very much for coming in. there are number of different points

to pick up on. let's talk about brexit first of all. is his intervention likely to make any difference to the way that westminster is handling the brexit talks? that's a good point. perhaps. i think what we've seen from the speech yesterday in belfast is very much the kind of frustration of the irish government about the lack of kind of real engagement by the british government over the issue of the board. he very much point into the board. he very much point into the european council meeting which will take place in october and pointed to the key issues they will talk about that, which is citizens rights, about what the financial settle m e nt rights, about what the financial settlement will be between the uk and eu when we leave. but also the issue of the border in northern ireland. he really has tried to come out and say, listen, if you haven't got a plan we do. he then proposed alternatives, so the idea of having alternatives, so the idea of having a bilateral customs union agreement, which would it favourable for the border and trade between the

republic of ireland and northern ireland. sorry, just explain bilateral. there's been talk about a bilateral. there's been talk about a bilateral customs arrangements between the uk and europe. what does he mean was yellow what we've seen so he mean was yellow what we've seen so far by the uk government is we are leaving the customs union and the single market. that's basically what the government is saying the people voted on last year. they are saying we could have a customs union that the uk would be specific with, but just with the that the uk would be specific with, butjust with the eu. 0ne already exists between turkey and the eu. turkey is a non—eu member state. he points to that as a potential model for the uk to have. why should we ca re for the uk to have. why should we care about him being openly gay and the —— when in context of what he's talking about regarding northern ireland? again, what's important is he is the first openly gay member of

parliament and it has been a contentious issue over the last few yea rs. contentious issue over the last few years. the last vote taken in northern ireland was narrowly beaten by one vote to 53. this is very much a pertinent issue in northern irish politics, so we have no executive at the moment and the key issues on the table for that is the irish language act and the legalisation of same—sex marriage. he is attending an event at pride today. he is attending the march but going to a festival earlier in the day. the politicians in northern ireland have accused him of interfering with their politics. they've called it megaphone diplomacy. i think in particular the dup will be very miffed and a bit kind of... will see this as unwelcome that he is putting front and centre that he has said it isn't and centre that he has said it isn't a question of if but when same—sex marriage will be legalised. they

have met separately prior to this meeting and he said that it wasn't a meeting and he said that it wasn't a meeting of minds, which is a polite way of saying they very much don't agree. but northern irish politics and the dup are saying, you are the key shock of northern ireland, you should stay out of politics of northern ireland. but that's not how it works and he is trying to campaignfor it works and he is trying to campaign for this. it's not a religious line either. he is saying it's not a catholic or issue, this is for the general civil rights and civil rights issues in northern ireland. how have his early days in office been seen? he is young, many people would say vibrant and dynamic. it is very welcome. he does not come from a long—standing political

dynasty, and while the international media have very much focused on his sexual orientation, back in the republic of ireland, the emphasis has been on his economic policy. while he has been socially left in terms of policy, economically, he is very conservative. not much feeds into the agenda of the political party. he has been a breath of fresh airforthe party. he has been a breath of fresh airfor the republic party. he has been a breath of fresh air for the republic of ireland. thank you very much indeed. later on breakfast we'll hear from the former northern ireland secretary, lord hain, who says the irish prime minister's intervention is very welcome. here's jay with a look at this morning's weather. a beautiful sunrise somewhere? yes, beautiful in east yorkshire. a lovely start here, but that is not

the full story. in bristol, cloudy skies. early showers dotted around. a mixture of sunny spells and showers through the weekend. with the north—westerly breeze, it is going to be very warm. showers early on across wales, heading towards east anglia and the south—east. a few ru m bles east anglia and the south—east. a few rumbles of thunder. further north, sunny spells and a scattering of showers. some rain at times across scotland and northern ireland. temperatures only around 16- 17 ireland. temperatures only around 16— 17 degrees. dry and bright spells, rain and sunshine as well in wales. the south—west of england, a pretty reasonable afternoon. showers moving through on the breeze towards the london area, 20— 21 degrees. a shower or two at the world champion

athletics, overall the day will be much more drive and wet. showers that we do see tend to fade away overnight as high pressure builds them. skies clearing for many, except towards the west. where we do have clearer skies, quite chilly, especially in rural spots. in rural scotland, single figures. a touch of frost on the grass first thing. fresh but bright to start the day for many central and eastern parts of the uk. you west, areas of wind and cloud. pushing into western scotland, north—west of england and wales. the further south and east you go, staying dry and bright. sunshine, a touch warmer than today. 0nly sunshine, a touch warmer than today. only 15 degrees also in the west of scotland. for the community shield, arsenal taking on chelsea at wembley. looking like a pretty decent day for it. dry, bright and pretty warm as well. that's it for

me. at 93, reg buttress from south wales is thought to be britain's oldest supermarket worker. now, after more than 30 years in his currentjob, he's decided it's finally time to retire. this isn't the first time he's hung up his apron, though. he first stopped working at the age of 65, but lasted just six weeks before asking for his old job back! 0ur correspondent tomos morgan went to meet him ahead of his final shift. this is reg buttress. not your average 93—year—old. but his customers and colleagues love him. he retired ones that 65, just a few yea rs into he retired ones that 65, just a few years into his time at sainsbury‘s. his retirement only lasted a few weeks. i look forward to coming here

to meet people. i look forward to it. after working at the supermarket for over 35 years, next month, when he turns 94, why will he finally pack it all in? i need to do some jobs in the summer. itjust isn't fairto jobs in the summer. itjust isn't fair to the family. he has had five different careers during his life, starting like many others in the mines. after working for 80 years, his work ethic and commitment to the job is still as strong as ever. he loves it, he loves being here. he loves it, he loves being here. he loves hisjob. i don't know what i'll do when he's not doing it. believed to be the oldest shopworker in britain, reg is 75 years older than the youngest worker in this store. it is clear his enthusiasm ru bs store. it is clear his enthusiasm rubs off on shoppers and colleagues

alike. here's a lovely man. beautiful. a beautiful soul. yes, everyone likes to meet and greet him, always stop for a chat.|j everyone likes to meet and greet him, always stop for a chat. i will miss them, the people, the customers. many have known reg since they were children, and they will be just as sad as he will be next month when he finally calls it a day. wishing him a very happy retirement. so after a night of thrilling action on the track, british athletics already seem to have made their mark in this world championship. but what do these kinds of performances do to help boost the sport at grass roots level? jess is in the london stadium for us this morning and can tell us more. yes, we're saying goodbye to mo on the track — and a final goodbye to bolt. but how can their careers help

inspire the next generation? i went to meet up with some children on an estate in london giving athletics a go for the very first time. sprinting for the summer. not your typical athletics venue, but for these young people, this is our stage and it is right on their doorstep. i am stage and it is right on their doorstep. iam in stage and it is right on their doorstep. i am in west london, these young people have seen their start on the screen and now they are going to try the sport out for themselves. who better to give some tips on any european gold—medallist? who better to give some tips on any european gold-medallist? you can make new friends from the estate that you probably wouldn't have met

normally, day today. it encourages them to communicate with each other, make it and enjoyable. of activities have we got going on? i've seen some javelin throwing and they are pretty good at it. we have got a relay is going on and it out the moment? we had the hurdle relay earlier, which i took part in. most of them beat you? they did. they are very quick. we have got a bastion and we are teaching them how to do the relay properly. the teenagers have the key skills to do it well. these championships will see some of the biggest stars in athletics on the track. there are none bigger than mo farah and usain bolt. track. there are none bigger than mo farah and usain boltlj track. there are none bigger than mo farah and usain bolt. i think it is really important. they might watch the olympics or they might watch mo farah or usain bolt, sometimes there is not somewhere for them to go, they will forget about it until the next world temperatures. we want to

try and capture the spirit at the right time. we need projects like this to bring people together. it might be that they do want to take pa rt might be that they do want to take part in athletics, but more than that, it is just creating somewhere locally that they can take part in. why do you keep coming back to these sessions? they are really fun. i like running and athletics because it gets me pumped, if i'm sad it puts me back up again. they have tried athletics for themselves, now they will be able to watch the professionals in action live at the world championships through this project. who knows how many might wa nt to project. who knows how many might want to emulate their heroes? it was a real buzz following the london 0lympics, a real buzz following the london olympics, and it is great to see so many young people inspired to try new sport. many of the young children in that film will be able to come to the stadium to watch the

biggest stars in athletics compete during these world championships. if they are lucky enough to have a ticket for today, they are in for a real treat. usain bolt is back on the track, as is laura niua. also, katarina atjohnson thompson gets under way. a lot to look forward to. indeed. and still to come on breakfast, she's held the overall women's marathon world record since 2003 and is one of britain's greatest long distance runners. paula radcliffejoins us injust over half an hour for a look ahead at what else we can expect from the world championships. we all know that pets are priceless, but you might agree that there's something really quite special about this feline friend. eight year old rescue cat, genie, has been named national cat of the year after supporting her young owner, evie, through treatment for bone cancer.

simon spark has been to meet them. genie is normally an outdoor cat. she leaves this she wants to, and will tell you if she wants to go out. that was until her 12—year—old owner, evie, was diagnosed with bone cancer. then she changed. when i was diagnosed, she was pulling my legs and would sit at my feet, she would gently mass at my legs. that was just unheard of. genie is doing her claw thingy on me. it means that she likes me. i think she did, because she was coming around this leg in particular, which is the one that the cancer was in. oh, you know something's wrong with that leg, don't you? and this is the story that has just won are a national cat award. as well as cat of the year,

she won outstanding rescue pet. award. as well as cat of the year, she won outstanding rescue petm was really good, we had photos taken. it was interviewed after interview after photo after interview. it was ace. i guess the judges saw what i see in genie, an amazing cat. since the diagnosis, she has really been a house cat, sitting at evie's feet, going around her legs. helping around the house, following her, even going to the toilet and going upstairs. it was quite a change in personality. toilet and going upstairs. it was quite a change in personalitylj think quite a change in personality.” think she made a massive difference. ido think she made a massive difference. i do without her i would have a lot more dark days, she just gave me that wings of hope that i needed to get through this. evie is now finished her course of chemotherapy and is being monitored by the hospital. genie continues to keep a close eye on her as well. what a sweetheart. we wish evie all

the best. headlines coming up soon. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and roger johnson. coming up before 8am, we'll have the weather with jay. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. mo farah has been celebrating his win in last night's10,000 metres at the world championships, describing it as one of the toughest races of his career. the 34—year—old, who is due to retire from the track at the end of this season, has now won ten global titles in a row. earlier in the evening, usain bolt also began the defence of his 100 metre title, as he competes for the last time. prosecutors have told a court in las vegas that a british computer expert has admitted creating software that steals bank details. marcus hutchins, aged 23 and from devon, will plead not guilty. he was praised earlier this year for helping to limit a global cyber attack that brought down several nhs computer networks.

he'll appear in court next tuesday. the irish prime minister leo varadkar continues his first official visit to northern ireland today. the openly gay taoiseach will attend a pride event in belfast later. yesterday he focused on brexit, suggesting that a bilateral customs union could be the best way for the uk to deal with the issue of northern ireland's border with the republic, describing brexit as "the challenge of this generation". the united states has officially informed the united nations that it's withdrawing from the paris climate agreement. injune, president donald trump drew international condemnation when he announced the decision to leave the agreement. it had been drawn up by nearly 200 nations to curb greenhouse gas emissions in 2015. the state department says the us will continue to participate in climate change meetings until the withdrawal process is completed. an oxford university employee, who's been on the run on suspicion of murder, has been arrested

millions of rail passengers are facing up to three weeks of disruption as work to update the uk's busiest train station gets under way today. an £800 million revamp will close ten platforms at london waterloo station to prepare for longer trains and create extra space for passengers. the work is due to be finished at the end of august. a staffordshire butcher says he has made a friend for life after rescuing a stray lamb with a broken leg. sean landy found lily the lamb shivering in a hedge near his farm in audley last week. barely a week old, she's now moved in with the sheepdogs in the kitchen. mr landy‘s confirmed that lily "definitely isn't going to end up on a plate". she is now officially part of the

family. and she will be growing much bigger before long! those are the main stories this morning. it was thrilling and nailbiting last night, watching mo farah. he had a couple of stumbles and bumps and then it was like how hard can we push? let's talk tojess about it. you are at the london stadium today. the atmosphere of yesterday was electric. who knows what it will be like today? what a night it was. i haven't had much sleep. another phenomenal performance from mo farah. i'm standing by the very podium where mo farah himself stood to receive that 10,000 metres gold medal. he stood here and faced the crowd as they cheered his name as he received his medal. tens of thousands in the stadium. the noise

was deafening, the atmosphere was absolutely amazing. let me remind you what he did to win that old medal. it was a thrilling race as you say. it was his third world championship gold medal. a tough race. he had offered a determined challenge from his rivals and he survived a couple of stumbles, the blistering final lap, and then we won it with his trademark sprint to the line. you gave us a scare going around the bend, tripped twice and stepping out of your lane. there's blood there as well! a couple of bruises, but i'm all right. you know what it is like to double up, you have four days for the 5000 metres. you have to go through a heat for that one. how do you do that now, block this out or enjoy it for a bit? yeah, you have to block it out. it is a moment that is done now, i have to get back to the basics.

eat, sleep, rest. that's what it takes if i want to come back for the five k's and ijust have to take care of my body. reece prescod ran a personal best to reach the semi—finals in his first world championships. i'm not fond of these blocks. these are the worst i've ever experienced. i have to get this together, i have to get the star together.” i have to get this together, i have to get the star together. i can't keep doing this. can you explain what it is about the blocks in particular? it is shaky. when i did my warmup and pushed back it fell back. but i'm used to it. it's not as firm as i am used to. reece prescod ran a personal best to reach the semi—finals in his first world championships. he said he loved being in front of a home crowd.

in fact all three british sprinters made it through, so we'll see prescod, james desaolu and cj ujah on the track again this evening. also in action will be laura muir, who was inspired to take her athletics career to the next level when she watched london 2012 on television. she goes in the 1,500 metres semi—finals, along with jess judd, laura weightman and sarah mcdonald. now, let's look at the rest of the sport. it's delicately balanced between england and south africa on the fourth and final test against south africa at old trafford. england captainjoe root made a half—century for his 10th test match in a row and ben stokes hit 58, but he was outjust before the close. england will resume later this morning on 260 for six. well, you always want 400 in the first innings of any test match. i think having lost ben just at the close, if we can get 350 we we would take that right now.

350 plus, definitely, you always want to try to get. maybe that last wicket might just knock a few off it. paris st—germain fans will have to wait a little longer before they see world record signing neymar in action. the world's most expensive player will miss his side's first match of the season today after his documents failed to be lodged in time. the brazilian forward will, though, be presented to supporters before the match at the parc des princes. and the english domestic football season is already under way. sunderland began life back in the championship with a 1—1 draw with derby county. after bradleyjohnson put derby ahead, lewis grabban equalised from the penalty spot. elsewhere, nott‘m forest beat millwall1—0. the scottish premiership season also starts today, champions celtic play hearts in the lunchtime kick off. you can see behind the day are

setting up the highjump. people earlier were mowing the grass, people in the stands were making sure the seats were clean and the idols were well swept. it all gets under way about 10am on the bbc. i can't wait. have you got any indication... you were talking about it being wet. have you any indications about how the athletes perhaps view that? if there will be any perhaps view that? if there will be a ny extra perhaps view that? if there will be any extra special preparations to try things off? iam no try things off? i am no weather lady but i can tell you now it isn't raining. the sun is starting to pick outjust beneath the clouds. but in terms of the rain coming down while the athletes are competing, it isn't ideal, especially when you consider that katarina johnson—thompson will be running in the hurdles at about 10am

and it makes the conditions a lot more treacherous for her and slippery. i am sure she will have to prepare more thoroughly to make sure she gets over it cleanly because she wa nts to she gets over it cleanly because she wants to lay down a fast time in that first event. indeed. thanks very much. interestingly, it will be a really busy day today at the world athletics championships. 18 events going on. here's a quick look ahead to some of the moments you won't want to miss. katarina johnson—thompson has long been tipped as the successor to jessica ennis—hill. she is now living and training in france, but can she win her first senior heptathlon medal on home soil? sophie hitchon became the first female british olympic hammer medallist in brazil last summer, with a last round throw of 74.54 metres to earn bronze. will the athlete be able to put our competitors in a spin

and replicate that success? usain bolt will compete in his last ever individual event. he qualified first in his heat in a performance which he said was farfrom his best, blaming the starting blocks. can he recovered to deliver the showstopping performance that we have come to expect? there is coverage throughout the day on bbc two from 9:30am and on bbc one from 6:30pm. if you are going abroad this summer, will you be able to ask for the bill, order a drink or even say hello in the local language? new figures show fewer young people are learning french and german and applications to study european language degrees have fallen by a quarter in the past five years. we asked people in salford how important it is to learn another language in the age of google translate?

i lived in france for a few years. i understand spanish people.” i lived in france for a few years. i understand spanish people. i think it is really important. i've learnt french in the past, and i haven't had to use it very often, but i think learning languages is a good idea for everybody. only if you are going to use it. if you want going to use it it is particularly an academic exercise. we speak mandarin, thai and hindi because we have lived in those places but otherwise they aren't useful. when i was young we didn't have the opportunity to learn languages. when i look back now i think all kids should have that. you should have it, but do we have that?

we're joined now by kirsty heimerl—moggan. how many languages do you speak? three, and passive italian as well. how worried are you, seeing this fall in the number of people taking up fall in the number of people taking up languages? as a linguist it a lwa ys up languages? as a linguist it always worries as if people aren't learning languages because it broadens your horizons immensely. but having said that we have a lot of stu d e nts but having said that we have a lot of students coming from abroad, so that number isn't actually falling because they are still learning languages and they want to come to the uk to practise their english. that's obvious when people come from abroad, of course we want to pick up the language. but why do you think here, even though we heard from those people, it is important? you won't hear someone say, they need to have a second language —— there's no need to have a second language in this global economy.” need to have a second language in this global economy. i think it is difficult. to give the example of my

own family, a husband is trying to speak german to speak to the family and as soon as they hear his accent he gets spoken to in english. a lot of people speak good english so it is hard for people to go abroad and get to practise their languages. is hard for people to go abroad and get to practise their languagesm is always embarrassing if you ring up is always embarrassing if you ring up to make a reservation, i did that in france where i tried to make a reservation and they replied to me in english. is it as simple as the fa ct in english. is it as simple as the fact that because everybody speaks english around the world we are just lazy? no, i don't think the lazy argument works. we don't start learning early enough. i learnt to languages from birth and that's the easiest time to learn it playfully. but then you have that advantage. yes. if there was more of that i think it would be easier for english people to learn other languages. but we can't all marry a european, so we need to access that at a younger

age? yes, and there are bilingual kindergartens that are really finding their footing kindergartens that are really finding theirfooting more kindergartens that are really finding their footing more and kindergartens that are really finding theirfooting more and more and even at junior school level finding theirfooting more and more and even atjunior school level it is easier. it is a much harder when you start learning later in life. what age is the ideal age to learn? from birth? it costs money, doesn't it? to have bilingual kindergartens or grow to it? to have bilingual kindergartens orgrow toa it? to have bilingual kindergartens or grow to a school where there's enough staff who are equipped to teach a five or six—year—old languages when the other pressures of the curriculum are in place? while it is still unique, yes. if it becomes more mainstream, we are lucky in germany as it is mainstream to have bilingual kindergartens, that's helpful. what can parents do? if they are concerned or thinking they want to give their child the best possible start? if this is the best possible start? if this is the best possible start? if this is the best possible start. and if they aren't fluent in another language. at home, there are lots of brilliant

apps that you can use. you can go travelling around the country, learning how to say simple phrases and then travelling, parents have found that that really works with children. if everybody else speaks english, why should we care? my stu d e nts to english, why should we care? my students to at least two languages, if not more. the jobs they go into later in life are very multinational, they can move into jobs abroad, which then means they can move into higher leveljobs at home. here's jay with a look at this morning's weather. we will have it in one of your three languages, would you mind asking what the weather is going to be like? asks what the weather will be

in german asks what the weather will be some showers and sunny spells around, the odd rumble of thunder. with the breeze, not that warm. showers coming out of wales, drifting towards the midlands. some rumbles of thunder and hail mixed in as well. further north, a good scattering of showers. spells of sunshine in between, not a terrible afternoon across scotland. some rain at times. temperatures 16— 17. some brightness in northern england through the afternoon, parts of southern wales and the south mostly dry. good spells of sunshine, 18— 19. showers moving through london

and into east anglia. some rumbles of thunder as well. every chance of rain, athletics in the east of london may see some showers. but those showers moving through, and overall, a lot of dry weather to be had. this evening, showers tending to fade away. showers clearing away from the western side of the uk. ringing some cloud and outbreaks of rain. with the cloudy skies, bringing rain. the bottom end of single figures. a frost on the grass first thing. a fresh and chilly start to the day. central and eastern areas, sunshine early on. cloud amounts tending to increase. pushing into scotland and the north—west of england and wales. for many central and eastern areas, a decent afternoon. light winds, 21— 22 degrees. saying finance dry. next week, things staying unsettled. some spells of rain and showers, often

quite breezy. later next week, things should begin to settle down. to you. coming up on this week's travel show: ben is seeking out beats in pakistan. i'm getting my kicks in thailand. i am about to step in the ring with momo. he looks really mean. this is a country that some governments say you probably shouldn't visit as a tourist, pakistan. terror—related incidents, kidnappings and political turmoil have all taken their toll on the country's reputation. and as the country prepares to celebrate its 70th anniversary of independence, the travel show‘s benjamin zand packed his backpack and headed for karachi. i was in karachi, pakistan,

on the search for some good news. as a man who likes music, like pretty much everyone else in the world, i thought it would be a good place to start. so i decided it was time to check out karachi's music scene. historically, being a musician here has been hard. musicians and gigs have often been targeted by religious extremists. but i had heard that things were getting better and some great tunes and artists were coming out as a consequence. so on an insanely hot day injuly i find out more. what is it like being a musician here? is it hard? it is, but it has become a lot better to the point that we have actually come out and started doing more outdoor events. we have food festivals, we have music festivals. we have lots of concerts in the last year. people are not afraid any more to come out and go to a concert. what is the driving force?

is that these kind of young musicians who arejust like, i don't care, i'm going to be a musician? yes. there was a music festival that took place in lahore about a month ago. a week before the event there was a really tragic bomb blast took place in lahore, so we had to figure out whether we were going to have the event or not these after that. we ultimately decided to do it. not out of any other reason than the fact that it should happen regardless of what is happening in the city. and that was amazing. i wanted to see for myself how pakistan was changing. and meet someone from this new era of artists. so i asked my new friends. i want to hear some rap. the name they gave me was ali gul pir. are you ali? hey. nice to meet you. sorry for being late. long time. i know. how's it going? good, good, good. i feel like i'm meeting a superstar. you should not think that. i look like a bum. ali was jamming with his friends, preparing for a gig the following day.

i talk about issues that we face as a society. it is something like there is a song about feudalism, feudal landlords and the power. there is another song about people who stare at women. i grew up with a single mother and i saw her face a lot of that growing up so i made a song about that. youtube was banned in pakistan so i made a song about that. ali wanted me to go with him to his gig

— so of course i said yes. we set off on a road trip. it was the first time ali would ever be playing in hyderabad and he was excited. and so was i. i left the band to go and prepare for the show elsewhere. this could not be more different from the image most people get when you think of pakistan. we are watching two beat boxers perform to an audience full of young people eating pizza and enjoying life waiting for a rap group to come on. i only knowjustin bieber. you only knowjustin bieber? yes. i am a very great fan. you are a belieber. i am a belieber. are you nervous? i am always nervous. i have done hundreds of shows but i still get nervous before a show. before he went on stage i decided to ask why he puts himself through all of this. by the end of the show i go home and i go like, great, i made them

dance, and i made them think as well. a lot of people when they think of pakistan think of the taliban, terror, and they would think that being a musician would be difficult as a consequence. have they got it all wrong? my content gets me into trouble with some bad people but you can see a thousand people here having fun. and there is no taliban here. you don't have to be nervous about security because, it happens, and if it is going to happen it is going to happen. it has never happened. i have never been shot at while performing and stuff like that. i need to speak to these people. my audience is this. they are more or less the same people. they just want to survive and make a good living. they want to be happy. in the end of the day theyjust want to make a living. music gives them hope. we lack education. we lack proper employment. there is a lot of corruption. at the end of the day,

somebody goes back home happy, i think that's what i give them. a little bit of happiness, a little bit of hope. announcer: ali gul pir! everyone should be a pioneer, right? it's no good to follow. you should lead. you should do something new. that's where the risk is. it might not work, but if it does... and finally this week, i'm in bangkok finding out by thailand's national sport is drawing business from around the globe. fighters battle it out in villages and towns across the country — but only the very best make it

here, to the stadiums of bangkok. this is rajadamnern stadium, it's the oldest of its sort here in bangkok and it's held host to many a legendary muay thai fight and tonight is no different. if you look into the rafters, you'll see a lot of local faces, but a lot of foreigners as well. a lot of tourists. i have some fantastic seats so i'm going to go find them. tickets to the the main part of the arena start at 1,000 baht, which is just under us$30. for that you can watch several bouts made up of five rounds. the competitor who lands the most strikes on their opponent's body wins that particular round. like boxing, you can also win by knockout. these fighters are astonishing

watching up close and personal. but some bright spark at the travel show decided it was a good thing for me to try it out first hand, so tomorrow morning i'm heading over to an actual muay thai camp that trains the fighters from all over thailand. ijust hope i don't come out the other end too bruised and banged up. i head 45 minutes to the north of bangkok to the gym where some of the country's top champions live and train. tourists who want to get fit can stay at camps like this throughout thailand but this place is known as the country's toughest. how's the experience been so far?

good, man. these guys, they're tough. really, really tough. i mean, they're the best. back home where i'm training two hours a day and that's supposed to be like the real tough stuff for competition. here, you train like six or seven hours a day. that's the normal. with muay thai, you have to stay pretty much dead centre, keep your weight evenly distributed. it's weird, it's like breaking habits. i'm about to step in the ring with momo, who is the top contender for muay thai in japan. he looks really mean. look at his abs. they look ridiculous! i have fair way to go yet. practice, yeah? i think i'm going to

have to call it a day. these guys are finely tuned athletes. i have had the tiniest of training here. it's been absolutely amazing, but my time here is done, so i hope you enjoyed my agony. i'm very relieved to say that's it for this week but coming up on next week's travel show. coming up next week, we begin a journey from the far west to the far east of india as the country celebrates 70 years of independence.

join us for that if you can, but don't forget you can follow us wherever we are in the world byjoining our social media feeds. all of the details are on your screens now. but from me and the rest of the team here in bangkok, thailand, it's goodbye. hello, this is breakfast, with rogerjohnson and naga munchetty. marvellous mo farah wins his tenth straight athletics gold medal. he isa he is a one—man world superpower, it is gold for farah!

he stormed his way to the 10,000m title, much to the delight of the home crowd and his children. here at the london stadium, mo wasn't the only star out on the track. usain bolt began his bid for a 12th world title. he made it through his 100m heat to make today's semifinals. good morning, it's saturday 5th august. a british computer expert will spend the weekend in a us jail, after being accused of creating software
